Higman. Ttigman said that nine of the car owners have reported damages, and he expects that there will be more people com­ ing forward in the next few days. Total damages have not been estimated at this time. The lot is located across from the new John E. Thomas building and serves as a temporary solution for the lack of avail­ able parking currently plaguing ASU. Pend­ ing the construction of ASU's new convo­ cation center, students and faculty are be­ ing allowed to park in the makeshift park­ ing lot which was converted from tennis courts earlier this year. "It appears that there is not enough flood area to carry off the water," but there is a sign in the lot warning that the area is susceptible to flooding, said Tugman. Wendy M. Lawrence, a senior and social work major who was parked in the lot Friday, said that she is unaware of any sign warning motorists of potential flood­ ing. "I am really upset that no one called to let me know something was wrong," said Lawrence. Lawrence did not return to her car until the Saturday morn­ ing following the flooding. She said the uni­ versity police made no attempt to contact her Friday, and they denied any responsi- See Flood page 2 Panel discusses campus crime Borkowski advocates personal responsibility Del Holston Staff Writer Rape and violence were the top­ ics of debate covered at the safety forum held at Legends Monday night for the Freshmen Seminar classes. A panel consisting of Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski, Vice Chancellor for Student Development Dr. Gregory S. Blimling, Provost and Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs Harvey Durham, Fresh­ man Seminar Program Director Dr. Rennie W. Brantz and Emily K. Booth, a senior and a peer leader for freshman seminar, met with students to discuss the recent crimes that have occurred around campus this semester. The administration wanted to make it clear that the university could not investigate crimes that occur off campus because they are not in the university's jurisdiction. "The university is prohibited by law to investigate off campus incidents. When a crime occurs off campus, it's the sheriff's department that covers the in­ vestigation," said Blimling. If a crime occurs on campus, the law says that it must be reported. Blimling said the university is prohibited by law to tell details about a person in­ volved in a crime so they can keep their privacy. I think that the students feel that the university is afraid of public reaction and that is not the case. Our prime con­ cern is the victim," said Blimling. Borkowski stressed that the uni­ versity wants to make students more aware of the crime on campus. "Rape is a repugnant act and takes dignity away from the victim. One rape is too many, and the university is concerned when a crime like this occurs," said Borkowski. Borkowski also wanted students to realize the university is not hiding in­ formation from the students. "We don't cover up these types of things. When a crime is committed on campus, we notify The Appalachian and the Watauga Democrat." Borkowski also said that "It is important that all of you understand that rumor gets ahead of fact. Did a rape occur? Yes. Was it gang rape? I think not. Was she beaten up and left for dead? No." Borkowski said that we are re­ sponsible for our own actions and we must not put ourselves in a position where a crime could occur. "Personal responsibility is very important if we are going to have a civil and social community. If you are not in control of your life through indulgence in alcohol and drugs, then you are setting yourself up." This statement aroused some an­ ger in the audience as students retorted by asking what responsibility the univer­ sity felt they had to the students. Borkowski said the university "...can put notices up about violent crimes, increase security and raise education about crime, but we cannot be with you 24 hours a day." Dr. Melissa Barth, Director of the newly formed Equity Office, told the au­ dience that the students cannot attack campus police for any reason relating to these crimes. "If you're really concerned A letter from Chancellor Borkowski November 13,1996 Dear Students: In recent weeks a considerable amount of misinformation about sexual assaults has circulated throughout the campus and, for this reason, I am writ­ ing you this open letter to tell you the information we have concerning the two reported incidents of sexual assault. Two female students have reported being sexually assaulted off campus. In one instance there is a report of an ac­ quaintance rape by a non-student; in the second instance there is a report of a woman being raped by three unidenti­ fied males. The Sheriffs Department is investigating one of these incidents and the Boone Police Department the other. about helping people who have been hurt, volunteer for a hotline or do something to help, but don't say that the police are not caring about victims because it's not true." One question posed to the panel was how a student could ensure their safety. Captain Larry Foster of ASU secu­ rity said to "...remember that there are No Appalachian students have been in­ dicted or charged with either of these crimes, and the University has cooperated fully with the Sheriff's Department and the Boone Police Department in their in­ vestigations. However, the University is prohibited by law from interfering with an ongoing investigation and does not have jurisdiction to investigate criminal matters occurring off campus. University officials have received no of­ ficial reports of any sexual assaults on campus in this current academic year. Fur­ thermore, if a student confides in one of our clinical psychologists or physicians that she or he has been sexually assaulted, this information must remain confiden­ tial. Unless the student makes an official report, no University official outside that confidential relationship will receive this information. Our principal concern in addressing these assaults has been the welfare of the student victims. The University has pro­ vided each woman with assistance and with other support. We will continue to do everything possible to help them over­ come the personal and academic effects of such tragic experiences. Legally, the University must report an­ nually all major crimes, including sexual see Chancellor page 2 blue light phones." He also told students to use common sense and to walk with a friend in a well lighted area. Other issues discussed were the de­ velopment of special programs to deal with issues such as rape and violence, an oncampus office to deal with these types of issues and the creation of a special task force to help eliminate crime on campus. �Page 2 Pieces of AIDS quilt to arrive Darin Glass Reporter When quilts come to mind, you usually think of cute grandmothers knit­ ting away gorgeous works with their needles. Quilting of another kind went on in Washington, D.C. Oct. 10 -13, and in December, a piece of this quilt will come to Boone. The national AIDS quilt was showcased in the capital at that time, and a group from ASU was on hand to help. Donna Breitenstein, Professor and Coor­ dinator of Health Education, took nine students from ASU to volunteer as help­ ers in the weekend. Health Education's purpose is to educate the public on health matters such as AIDS. The students were in Washing­ ton performing a service project. "It was a time of healing for the family and friends to remember their loved ones," said Breitenstein. The students' duties were work­ ing the information table, directing people toward specific panels in the quilt, quilt monitors and sight guides. The enormous quilt stretched from the Washington Monument to the capital building. It showcased 40,000 pan­ els and 70,000 names of individuals who have died from the HIV virus. The quilt was originally started by a group of family members who wanted to remember their loved ones. Even Presi­ dent Clinton showed up with Hillary to express concern and admiration for all those who have suffered because of this terrible disease. Dr. Breitenstein said, "The goals of the quilt where to show awareness for AIDS, that it is preventable and to have compassion for people suffering from the AIDS virus." The role of the students at the showing of the quilt was very important, not only to the people there, but to help in the fight and awareness of the AIDS virus, according to Breitenstein. Pieces of the quilt will be coming to Boone around the beginning of Decem­ ber and will be on display to the public. The Appalachian 14 Nove:mbe Chancellor continued from p. 1 assaults that occur on University prop­ erty. You received this information in your campus mailbox earlier this semester; this report shows that the number of sexual assaults occurring at Appalachian from 1993 through July 31,1996 to be as follows: 1993 (0), 1994 (1), 1995 .(3), 1996 (1). There have been no sexual as­ saults on campus reported to the Univer­ sity or to law enforcement officials dur­ ing the current fall 1996 semester. In addition to psychologists, physi­ cians, and police officers with special training and knowledge about sexual as­ saults, the University has developed a network of people who have been trained to respond to students on matters of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and related sexual offenses. The names, phone numbers, and locations of these 17 people are identified on pages 75-76 °f Student Handbook. A clear state­ ment of the University's policies regard­ ing these matters also appears in the Stu­ dent Handhnqk This policy allows vic­ tims of sexual assault to either identify themselves or to remain anonymous. In a population the size of Appalachian's it is sadly inevitable that crimes occasionally will occur despite our best efforts to prevent them. When such events take place, it is never the policy of the university to conceal the facts from those who need to know them. When an act of violence occurs on the campus that endangers others, the University no­ tifies the community by giving this infor­ mation to the campus newspaper and by placing this information on the University's All-in- One electronic mail. Our News Bureau notifies the local me­ dia. Notifying the University community of an act of violence has been the practice at Appalachian long before such notices were required by law. Furthermore, I am much less concerned about the public re­ action to incidents on campus than I am about the safety of our students. People are well aware that sexual assaults and other acts of violence occur throughout our country, including on college cam­ puses. Although I wish we could be a sanc­ tuary from such behavior, we are not. While our rural location has sheltered us from some of the more violent acts that have become commonplace at many ur­ ban institutions and on larger college cam­ puses, as recent off-campus events have shown, students at Appalachian are not immune from violent acts. Any student who is the victim of a sexual assault or other crime should im­ mediately report the incident to c, propriate authorities. Such an inj. a single member of the Universin munity ultimately affects all of us treated seriously. The two rep-, off-campus rapes were repugnacand the responsible parties!need held accountable in the courts. Tb versity is doing its utmost to a victims of these terrible acts and v, continue to do all that is in our pov. make our campus safe. In an eff: ensure that our campus is safe, 1 asked for a review of our existing grams, security measures, and poi and procedures. If additional met are needed, we will implement then gardless of the steps the University each of us is responsible for ensuriy own safety. The University can pro information, resources, and assist* but regrettably, no one can guatsj that acts of violence will not occur as they do elsewhere. yH Sincerely; Francis T. Borkowski Chancellor Flood continued from page 1 bility when she managed to reach them. According to the Basic Campus Parking and Traffic Regulations pamphlet, Article II, Section 5 releases the univer­ sity from liability for damages to vehicles in ASU parking lots. It reads: "The Uni­ versity cannot assume responsibility for any motor vehicle or its contents, parked on the campus or its environs. The per­ mit holder assumes all risk of accident and expressly agrees that the University shall not be liable under any circumstances for injury to person, or loss or damage." When asked why many students were not notified about their cars being damaged, Tugman said that a dispatcher did try to contact students whose cars were parked in the lot, but many could not be reached. Senior Beth Kuopus said that she was contacted at 4 a.m. Friday morning. She said that when she was contacted, the person whom she spoke with said he was directly behind her vehicle. When she ar­ rived approximately 10 minutes later to attempt to move her vehicle, the water had reached the level of the car's door handles. "I find it hard to believe (the wa­ ter) could have risen that quickly," Kuopus said. "I think it would have been nice to have been notified sooner," she said. Tugman said in the future "We will attempt to (contact students) but can­ not guarantee it," since some students may not be at home when phoned. Tugman said that ASU will con­ tinue to allow students and faculty to park in the lot until construction begins on the new convocation center late next semes­ ter. He also added that 'There is no in­ tention to close the lot due to inclement weather conditions". When does a date become a crime? It happens when a man forcesa woman to have sex against her will. And even when it involves college students, ifs still considered a criminal offense A felony. Punishable by prison. So if you want to keep a good time from turning into a bad one, try to keep this in mind. When does a date become a crime? When she says "No." And he refuses to listen. Against her will is against the law. ©1989 Rape Treatment Center, Santa Monica Hospital. edge EDGE SALUTES INTRAMURAL EXCELLENCE!

Are temp services prostitution; Viewpoint by Todd Goodman Columnist fluch ado about safety Here at The Appalachian, we are simply exasyated with students buying into the rumors that jve been flying about fictional crimes on campus id how the newspaper and university administra>n are trying to cover up crime. It's just not so. The Appalachian's policy on crime reporting is report the most serious crimes such as assaults, pes and drug violations as they occur. The administration of this university is making any efforts to halt crime and to fairly, responsibly port it when it happens. Beginning November 19, the Office of Student evelopment will run campus safety information ; part of the "Backpage" advertising section of The ppalachian. We believe this to be a clear effort to lform students about crime on behalf of the adlinistration at this university. In recent weeks, wild imors of crime sprees have proliferated on this impus and the truth has been cast aside. The fact is that our university administration ;n't hiding anything. We don't have anything to be ihamed of. The addition to the "Backpage" is a ery positive sign that the administration on this ampus works hard to make sure students feel safe jid that they are informed of crimes that do occur. On the "Backpage," Student Development will port any crime that occurs on campus which is onsidered to be a threat to students and employ­ es when this crime is reported to ASU Police. There vi.ll also be monthly crime statistics from our cam>us police as well as monthly disciplinary reports rom the Office of Judicial Affairs. Other items the reserved space may include are nformation on national trends regarding crimes at :olleges and universities, campus safety program chedules, and on-campus services and reporting •enues. The space will not include names of victims or nformation which could personally identify them, tor will names of students sanctioned by Judicial affairs be reported. Clearly, students must realize that although Apalachian is a university like many others, it's not lecessarily totally ruled by red tape. Chancellor Borkowski's recent comments at the >afety Forum and his open letter to ASU students >rove that he isn't going to allow students to keep preading untruths about crime any longer. The recent NOW sponsored March and Speak)ut Against Rape had stellar attendance rates. This hows that students, faculty, staff and other resilents of Boone share the administration's concern or the safety of everyone on campus. The Campus Safety Forum sponsored by sev:ral Freshmen Seminar classes, at Legends showed hat students of all class ranks care about their safety ;nough to take action. It is encouraging that these .tudents wanted to make a difference in what had ilmost become a rumor-run campus environment. It's not difficult to synthesize information about ill of these efforts and come to the clear conclusion hat something is being done to promote safety on his campus. People are not only recognizing that t can easily happen, they are making strides by makng themselves more aware.

I was broke. I had nothing in the bank, noth­ ing in the wallet, and both credit cards maxed out. God, my life sucks! College is great when there is money to spend. You go out, drink a few beers, meet a few women and eat your meals at Macados. College life sucks when you are broke, period. At any rate, I decided it was time to stop hitting mom up for money. I was really abusing the old lady. 1 decided to go and get a job. I had heard of Able Body staffing services, the one which advertises daily work and daily pay. I figured this would be perfect for a college student who does not want a structured job. Boy, was I wrong. I worked my first job for them on Tuesday, Sep­ tember 24. The job began at 4:00 p.m., and was scheduled to run up to 12:30 a.m. By 5:00 p.m., I wanted to shoot myself. Money just isn't worth what I had to endure. I knew it was going to be boring, but what I got was ridiculous. A trained chimp could have done my job. The only requirement was the ability to count correctly to 12. I was counting out 12 dowel rods, and putting them and other various items into an undersized box. It got mundane very quickly. Did I mention this was a production job? For those of you who don't know, a production job is one where the employee must meet an hourly quota. The more you produce over the quota, the more money you take home each paycheck. This is a good sys­ tem for a real employee, but it sucks for a tempo­ rary one. I got paid five bucks an hour whether I busted my bun or not. There was no incentive to work faster! Here is what really pissed me off. Able Body made $3 each time I made $5, and they were not sticking rods into a box that was too small to hold in the first place. I was pimped out by Able Body. The bad thing is that more and more companies are hiring through these staffing agencies. The only way to get on with these companies is to go to work for a legalized whorehouse. After taxes were taken out, I made a whopping $28 for sue and a half hours of the most boring work imaginable. I felt as if I had aged 20 years by the time I left, which was an hour and a half early. I told my supervisor that I was going insane and had to leave immediately. — "Will I see you again?" she asked. "Not unless you run into me on campus," I re-TJ plied. She took it very well. When I walked into the factory, I felt as if I had entered Darwin's waiting room. There were people in there who had not evolved yet. I will remain broke if that is the way I have to make money; either that or start selling drugs. Just kidding. Having an education made me feel even more out of place. Factory workers do not as a rule, like young college kids. Ninety percent of the conversa­ tions I heard were about how kids today have it made."• They also bitched about the government, which I had ~ to stand on my sore feet and listen to. Do you feel sorry for me yet? If not, you will. The meager $28 check I received did not even cover my phone bill, which I had counted on it doing. I vowed never to return to the aforementioned site, so I called Able Body to see what else they could find me. I am a slow learner. This job began at 7 a.m. I was to report to Able Body by 6:30, move on to the job site, and carry con- . crete block. Agairt working for peanuts, I started to question the mea^ng of life. 3 "What am I doing here?" was frequently heard. There must be a better way for students to make extra cash. Campus jobs pay so little that taxes aren't even taken out. However, I would choose a job on campus over the local whorehouse anyday. The Great Movie Conspiracy Like most freshmen new to the campus of Appa­ lachian State, I decided to wander King Street look­ ing for some nighttime entertainment. Taking the route that goes by Legends on Hardin Street, I no­ ticed an economy movie theater. "Good," I thought, "A fun way to avoid doing the paper I've been put­ ting off for three months at a low price." This dis­ covery had possibilities. As I continued on to King Street, no less than three or four blocks from Hardin Street, I came upon another low-priced movie theater. "Now this is too good to be true. I can see four different movies for just a dollar fifty each! College life is so great," I cackled to myself as I glanced at the marquee to see what was playing at this location. To my dismay, 1 found the exact same two movies that were playing at the theater on Hardin Street. Hmmm. I felt like I was being played for a fool men what the deal was. They didn't have much to say to me. It was just an accepted fact of life in Boone that they show the exact same two movies four blocks Matt Bielejeski apart. Columnist One wise person told me that the same company owned both of the theaters, so to save money, they just showed the same movie. What?!? I guess that makes sense if you learned logic from a Cro-Magnon man named Grok who purees freshly killed cow by (nothing nevy, of course). Maybe it was some gag thumping it against a rock.

I See Conspiracy page 6 : started asking people that I knew who weren't fresh­ Health and Fitness tour unhealthy My Turn by Daniel Bothun Columnist When walking to class on November 4, I saw that the Collegiate Health and Fitness Tour had come to our beloved campus. Maybe it was the giant dis­ plays, the bright colors, or the sight of something other than fluorescent orange tape on Sanford Mall, but I was compelled to take a look at it. When I got around to going to this carnival, it reminded me of the movie "Something Wicked This Way Comes." Indeed, something wicked did come to Boone. Large corporations, hell-bent on making the most profit as they possibly can, came to Boone disguised as sponsors for this event. Their presence, however, clubbed spectators over the head like a Louisville Slugger. Sanford Mall was littered with more advertising signs than Tiger Sta­ dium. The sponsors will claim, through altruistic rea­ soning, that the Collegiate Health and Fitness Tour is designed to promote health education and to pro­ mote a healthy lifestyle. I can see through this claim like a bottle of Clearly Canadian. The real purpose of this event is to cram as much corporate crap into our heads as possible. Various companies set up booths throughout the area to promote their latest products. The Jeep booth offered an extremely generous $400 off the price of a new car for college graduates. Discover put up a booth, for the strict purpose of giving credit cards to us financially irresponsible college kids. Discover reps induced customers to join, offering a free T-shirt, which was probably made by 12 year-old kids in a Honduras sweatshop. Trojan offered free condoms, although my free condom will inevitably expire be­ fore I have the opportunity to use it. As I gulped a drink containing several droplets of some foreign substance, I noticed the various games that people were allowed to play. I wanted to play some of these games, so I filled out a release form. I signed my name Thor Johnson, but the lady at the information center didn't even bother to check the form nor did she care to. After being done with reading and signing the release form gobbledygook, I was ready to play. I looked around at the various games, seeing which one I wanted to play. I saw an air-filled, tram­ poline-like basketball arena, where the people tried to sink a basketball in another person's basket. It Gotta love those plastic rocks on Sanford Mall. (Photo by Vanessa Urruela) would have been more fun to watch if the arena was used to test drive the free condoms. There was the convenient "Rock Climbing Chal­ lenge," which was basically a stone wall with some rocks glued to it. Why bother going to one of the mountains around here, when I can climb this artifi­ cial wall with strategically placed rocks that do not force me to put forth much effort? There was also "Bouncy Boxing," which was a boxing ring with gloves that would have fit Fisto from He-Man. I didn't bother playing this game either, while if I punched my opponent in the nads, it wouldn't leave any crushed grapes. That is, if I landed a punch at all. The "Plymouth Bungee Run" didn't look any more interesting than the other games. In the bungee run, contestants put on a bungee cord and ran as far as they could before their cord snapped back and gave them whiplash. This game defies the original purpose of the bungee cord, which is intended to allow nutballs to jump off a bridge without killing themselves. Of course, there was also the velcro wall game ripped off from the Dave Letterman show. I kept thinking that all this velcro wasn't necessary, while people could jump up on a giant copy of Hustler with sticky pages and it would have the same effect. I then decided to go to the Wellness Center booth, to receive an education. When I got there, it was just a few posters telling me how smoking, alcohol, and drugs are bad for you. I could have skipped read­ ing these posters and still remained as ignorant as I was before. Some statistics from a survey were also posted there, but surveys are often inaccurate and cannot be relied upon. After 45 minutes of being filled with wanderlust, I was ready to leave. I was tired of the crappy Se­ attle garage band college music played at a high vol­ ume, tired of the capitalist pigs' propaganda cam­ paigns, tired of pushy salespeople with bad breath, tired of the lame carnival games, and tired of the whole disgusting atmosphere. �Page 6 The Appalachian 14 Nover Opinion Conspiracy continued from page 5 leader replied that it was a phenomenon that he couldn't explain. (I personally think he was under orders from a Communist regime not to say anything, but that's another story.) Failing to find a comprehensive answer to the elusive question, I decided to think of a few ways this atrocity to entertainment could occur. •Capitalistic aliens from Independence Day landed in Boone with the citizens unaware of any­ thing weird. (This is Appalachian State after all!) They took human hosts, bought out the two theaters in question, and decided to make a billion Earthlingdollars by showing the same movie at both locations. They achieved this moneymaking endeavor by brainwashing each Appalachian State student as he or she goes to the cashier's office to pay for tuition. What aliens would want with human currency, I don't know, but like I said, this is a theory. •The movie theater owners (humans this time) came to the conclusion that students here at Appalachian are so drunk, high or otherwise discombobulated most of the time, that we wouldn't notice the difference. If this is the case, they deserve to have their eyelids cut off and be fed a whole bottle of sleeping pills. • The theaters' owners are really a different kind of alien culture that can move at the speed of light whenever they desire. When they see someone glanc­ ing at one theater marquee, they quickly change the movies to the other theater, giving the impression that they are playing the same movies. Lightning speed does have its advantages if you are trying to get a good laugh at the expense of humans. After I had come up empty, I decided to go en­ joy "The Island of Dr. Moreau," playing at the the­ aters on Hardin Street and King Street. But which one do I go to? Heads, Hardin. Tails, King... EXPERIENCE IN IWOTSfiTloN ANP lira^QffnoH. Letters to the Editor More Ball Fallout Letter to the Editor, As strange as this may seem,* am writing this letter to the editor not in response to an article, but to another letter to the editor. In the Oct. 24 issue of the Appalachian, Denver Hill wrote a letter to the editor berating an article written by Jeremy Ball in response to the hate graffiti of the River Street tun­ nels. After reading Ball's article, I was tempted to write to the editor myself, but for the exact opposite of Hill's reason. I thought that Ball did a great job of presenting an objective viewpoint to the entire is­ sue. I, too, thought of how false the claim that "God hates faggots" was, an addition made by the graffiti artists, not the Bible. Jesus Christ himself admitted that He did not come to condemn the world, but to save it (John 3:17). And Ball did a very good job of calling those people on that hatred, in what I hope to be a very convicting manner for those responsible. He also, however, presented the true Christian view of homosexuality, not balking at calling a sin a sin, but he did so in a way that all Christians need to take note of—focusing above all else on the unbelievable love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Now, I found considerable holes in the logic Hill used in writing his letter. First of all, it appears that he misread the article, because Ball's statements of forgiveness were not intended for those who wrote he graffiti, but rather directed to them in their thoughts about homosexuals. I also found myself chuckling at his allusion to a god who hates rape and loves rapist, a very clever attempt to play to our campus' fears where rape has unfortunately come to the fore. What he doesn't understand is that in God's eyes, sin is sin, so that a rape is just as serious an offense as cussing, telling a white lie, or cheating on an exam. Praise God that those sins are forgiven, because if Hill's logic holds up, rapists, liars, and ev­ eryone else on earth would fall subject to God's wrath, something I don't even want to imagine. Also, for someone who seems irate at the chastisement and belitding of homosexuals, Hill seems totally ready to "castigate homophobes" in a like manner. Since you believe "the Bible is outdated" and are "sick of God as a solution to society's problems," I am curious to see what answer you have for these problems. Judging from the anger and dissatisfac­ tion in your letter, I don't get the impression that your answer is working too well itself. I truly hope and pray that someday you find the true answer.

"Tell Heaven I'm Coming" was a .•autifully directed musical play, bringg together the multi- talented BSA choir embers who brought the joyful musical the stage.

Young blended in the inspirational 'linoi mgs that you could carry home with you ng after the last curtain call, r o; The life of the portrayed working 9 ass family was not always at it's best, ill j ipecially around the Christmas holidays, sent, owever, the play showed how with the r love of the i rsrA familv sunnnrt and Lord, family support anH friends, all you have to do is "hold on" to make things better The laughter through the tears and the joy through the sorrow became the emotions transferred from the characters to the audience. You could almost feel the pain the family faced during their hardships and were always grateful to laugh during their times of triumph. The spotlight certainly shined on the actors and actresses who combined the­ atrical talents and soulful voices to bring their characters to life. The cooperation put into the play showed as the members, whether a main character, background singer or stage di­ rector, each added a spark to the play to make it glow. "We were very pleased with the play," said Student Director, Fernando G. Little of Charlotte. "We felt like the play gave us an opportunity to display the true meaning of Christmas, and if we were able to convey that message then we are pleased. The choir worked very hard." It shows. With their voices, the choir expressed messages of love and hope. And if just one note sung is an inspiration for a ear that hears it, they need to sing on. Don't l6t doptOSSion •jet you down in tioi eir Ok Sandra Isley Reporter Most people believe that the Great lepression occurred in the 1920s, but the Teat depression is the one that ends in aicide. As part of Women's Awareness Week, hristie Graves and Charlotte Gaines from le Wellness Peer Education program ime to Belk Hall to speak about depreson. Depression can be brought on by cogitive distortions, which is when we think egative thoughts about ourselves. An example of this is should statelents such as, 'I should study for three ours.' Gaines said, "If you don't feel like , you shouldn't because you won't be unished for it." Then she adds jokingly, Unless you haven't studied at all." Another way we abuse ourselves is tat we say things to ourselves that we rould not say to others. The key to feellg better about yourself is not to treat ourselfwith less respect and dignity than ou would others. Depression is a serious illness because may lead to suicide. The saddest death all is when a person decides to take their own life, so look for the signs and symptoms of depression. 1. Lack of interest in their favor­ ite activities 2. Disturbance of sleep 3. Disturbance of appetite 4. Feeling sad and down, crying a lot, irritable 5. Suicidal idealization There are five parts of suicide ideali­ zation. 1. Idealization - They are think­ ing about killing themselves 2. Psychosomatic retardation Their movements and speech become slow 3. Plan - They already know how it will be carried out 4. Means - They have the neces­ sary equipment needed to carry it out 5. Intent - They intend to carry it out If a person shows these symptoms and answers yes to the five parts of suicidal idealization - intervene. Talk to the per­ son and let them know that tomorrow can only get better. Depression is like any other illness. It can be cured or it can be fatal. Just re­ member two things: We all make mis­ takes. Learn from them, keep them in proper perspective and move on. Also, you deserve to be happy, so why put it off any longer? CELEBRATE YOURSELF!!! Bringing down that house, a member of Gospel Choir gives a stellar performance. (Photo by Carl Stearns) Career Development gives students direction Carol Clayton Reporter "What do I do with my life? What should I major in?" Many of us ask our­ selves these questions every day. Now is the time we all feel the pressure to know which paths we are going to take, and plan accordingly. For those of you who are stressed about these issues and more, you need not fear. Peer Career has the answer. Peer Career, a program jointly spon­ sored by the Career Development Center and Psychological Services Center, is lo­ cated on the second floor of the Student Union next to the Gold Room. The center exists to help students decide the direc­ tions they want to take in their lives. If you're a senior, it may have taken you four years to finally find that direc­ tion, or you may still be searching. Peer Career is here to help you find the answer. "Peer Career emphasizes that having direction in your life is important and we're here to help you get that direction," said Director Jennie Cassidy, Ph.D. "We have tests, software instruments, refer­ ence materials and other resources," she said. "If you just want to talk with us, that's great too. What makes our program unique compared to any other career de­ velopment program in the state is the fact that our counselors are students," said Cassidy. "We have 10 student counselors and are always recruiting new students." The North Carolina Career Develop­ ment Association (NCCDA) has designated November as Career Development Month; a special time to focus attention on career development. 'To emphasize Career Development Month, we had a 'Lucy Booth' where stu­ dents paid a nickel to get advice," said Cassidy. "Hopefully, the people who par­ ticipated will visit Peer Career and com­ plete the evaluation process." "Students don't realize the services we offer could easily cost $300 after they graduate," she said. "Now is the time to take advantage of career counseling op­ portunities." "We surveyed freshmen in 1996 and found that 82 percent were unsure about their career choices. My goal would be reached if every student who is unsure would visit the center in order to find more Manson's sophomore effort Antichrist Superstar crucifies the ER Smells Like Children, and rightfully so.

Similar to Peer Career is the Career Development Center, located on the third floor of the new administrative building. This valuable program helps students in their job searches. "The ideal situation would be for stu­ dents to go to Peer Career, figure out what they want to do, and visit our center for further implementation of these plans," said Director David Ball, Ph.D. "We are very excited about the new technology center we are starting in Janu­ ary. This system will allow students to access job opportunity information and send their resumes to prospective employ­ ers via the internet," said Ball. According to Ball, the center will house 11 computers and provide work­ shops on how to use the new program. As you can see, you don't have to face the tough task of deciding your future alone. Now is the time to take advantage of the free services offered you. For more information on Peer Career, contact Jennie Cassidy at 262-2029.

The EP was a somber slab of vocals and ambientfeeling music, as opposed to this album's guitar driven rock. They manage to keep that dark, emo­ tive mood throughout Bleed..., with tracks such as "Off or Out" and "Parachute" strik­ ing a particular nerve. Not bad for a de­ but. Corrosion of Conformity Wiseblood (Columbia) • •• Is metal dead? Does it matter to these Raleigh-based headbangers? Probably not. C.O.C. have managed to mix trashy, Sabbath-esque rhythms with bluesy leads (and vocals) into an interesting formula that keeps them out of the gutters, for now. The top cuts on this slab o' metal in­ clude "King of the Rotten," the Panteraish "Goodbye Windows" (maybe that time in Down had an effect on Pepper Keenan), "Man or Ash," the super thrashy "Fuel" and the epic "Bottom Feeder." John Parish / Polly Jean Harvey Dance Hall at Louse Point (Island) •• RJ. Harvey has a beautiful voice. She usually writes beautiful lyrics as well. Usually. Dance Hall... reveals some lyrical limi­ tations (not to mention musical ones) that, although obvious, don't make the album totally unlistenable. Just mostly unlistenable. You think you're getting somewhere with tracks like "Heela" and the title track, but to no avail. This one is for fans only. Not a very viable release from the usually incredible Ms. Harvey. Hobex Payback EP (Phrex) • •• Aww, yeah. We're slippin' back to the seventies for a little groovin' and movin', baby. Seriously, former Dillon Fence frontman Gseg Humphreys' new project definitely outweighs his old band (at least in this writer's opinion). Packing it full of grooves and soul is what Hobex is apparently about. Unfor­ tunately, it comes out sounding more like Bread than Marvin Gaye. �The Appalachian 14 November 1996 Boone's Top Ten 1.

The Mountaineers have also shut out Western Carolina in ten times in their series. Moore, who is 7-0 all-time against the Catamounts in his tenure at Appalachian, says that "We expect to face a high-spirited Western team." Look for the Western Carolina offense to be pretty balanced, with a little more emphasis on rushing. Western Carolina has run the ball 395 times this year for 1363 yards. This Saturday, the Appalachian State University football team will hit the astroturf for the first time in two weeks.

For more information and to schedule an inter­ view call Women's soccer defeated by Wildcats Danny Sink Staff Writer The Lady Mountaineeers started their Southern Conference Soccer Tournament off on the right oot this past Saturday defeating the Lady Moccasins of TennesseeChattanooga in the first round. The party was short lived, towever, as the ladies from )avidson made short work of the Apps on Sunday in a 10-0 blowout. On Saturday, the Mountaineers put it to the team from Chatanooga with a routing 6-2 display. The Mountaineers racked up 21 shots on goal against the Moccasins, who retaliated with only six of their own. The star of the game for Appalachian was Ashton Robinson, who put three balls in the back of the net in the first half of the game and had an assist to Katie Hand in the second. Not to be ovelooked was Gretchen Cross of UTC who had two goals of her own, one in the first half and another in the the second accounting for all of the Moccasins scoring. On Sunday, the stark reality of Davidson put a damper on the high spirits of the Mountaineer team. The Wildcats came into the game with confidence and it showed. In the opening half, Davidson jumped out to a 5-0 lead, with two goals off the foot of Amy Balsinger. The 'Cats showed no mercy in the second half as the beating continued. By the time the final whistle blew, the Sports Network I-AA Football Poll (through Nov. 10) Mountaineers had been held without a score while Davidson racked up the equivalent of a touchdown and a field goal for the 10-0 win. If it is any consolation, the Wildcats did not stop with the Mountaineers. Davidson advanced into the final against Georgia Southern and won their third consecutive tournament tide. The game was a close one though, with Davidson edging out a onepoint victory over a strong Eagles team. For ASU, the season was still a sucess. The team set a program record for wins with five as they finished their season with a 5-15-2 record overall and 3-5-1 in the the conference. All three of their league victories came at the hands of the Moccasins. 1-800-477-1001. HELP WANTED: Reliable, cheerful person for part-time to full-time work evenings and Saturdays.

Dr. Sally Atkins, professor of hu­ man development and psychological counseling, said the meeting was the product of discussions which took place at a strategic planning commission meet­ ing in January. Those in attendance ex­ pressed the desire to form a task force which could openly "talk about how to make the university better poised for the future," Atkins said. She also said the faculty was given the go-ahead to do this, Toy Box benefits, needy and that "this meeting is about opening that conversation." Faculty members met earlier last week in small groups to brainstorm and to raise issues they believe are relevant to bringing various changes to the univer­ sity. A representative from each of these groups was present Friday to contribute to the discussions. Dr. Jay Wentworth, professor of interdisciplinary studies, presented the thoughts of his group saying, "we should first look at the problems and then the solutions, one of which is perhaps reor­ ganization." Wentworth listed several problems starting with "the general adversarial nature of the system which places faculty against faculty, department against department and college against college for resources." He recommended that the discussions address how to "pro­ mote the sharing of resources." Wentworth went on to identify other changes needed for the university ranging from "loosening the communica­ tion boundaries between departments,"to adjusting the "physical proximity" of the colleges and the faculty. Members discussed the possibil­ ity of arranging faculty into "pods" all over campus. The pods would consist of indi­ viduals from different colleges in order to promote increased communication. They reached agreement that this would pro­ mote interaction, but would pose prob­ lems for departments, such as biology and chemistry, which share customized facili­ ties. Dr. Roxanne Knutson took the discussions a step further saying, "incre­ mental changes are more likely to be ac­ cepted," and that we must pay particular attention to "public perception" and to the "needs of the students." Dr. Nick Biddle, assistant profes­ sor of history, identified the need to sepa­ rate "education administration from finan­ cial administration." He pointed out that "there is a great deal of consistency among the groups" on issues relating to the inter­ action of departments and to the resources allowing each department to operate. 'There is probably enough grounds to make some changes," he said. Biddle concluded the meeting urg­ ing each group to meet independently this week to discuss the possibility of making these and other changes to the university. Faculty members will meet again See Colleges page 2 Flashback to the 70s Laurie Lyda Staff Writer Christmas is a time of giving, and this annual season of generosity is just around the corner. Each holiday season, many of us try to remember those less fortunate and do what we can to help out those in need. In keeping with this frame of mind, the Appalachian Popular Program­ ming Society is sponsoring Santa's Toy Box for the second year in a row. Santa's Toy Box is a non-profit organization de­ signed to gather gifts for needy children, from infancy to 15 years, in the Watauga area. A.RRS. vice president Holly Wil­ liams said she estimates that at least 100 children received Christmas presents last year from campus participants. The spon­ sorship also serves as the A.RRS. service project for the year. A gift tree is set up in Plemmons Student Union, in front of Cascades Cafe.

(Photo by Marvin Evans) ACT promotes awareness week Beth Bliss Staff Writer Events organized by Appalachian and the Community Together (ACT) will be held Nov. 15-22 to promote Hunger and Homelessness Week. According to ACT staff member Holly Hatcher, the week is an annual event held to raise awareness about world-wide hunger and poverty. "Twenty-seven million Ameri­ cans are homeless," said Hatcher. "This is a consciousness-raising event." According to Hatcher, the week is celebrated nationally. "However, we're doing (activities) on a local level and rais­ ing money for four local organizations " she said. All proceeds from each fundraismg activity will be donated equally between four Watauga County chanties. Habitat for Humanity, Hospital­ ity House, Hunger Coalition and Oasis. Hatcher said that no money will be kept by ACT. Hatcher said that the events of the week are sponsored by various campus organizations. "(ACT) is simply coordi­ nating the week, not sponsoring it," she said. The week will informally begin Nov. 15. A.RRS. films will present "Geor­ gia" at I.G. Greer. While A.RRS. is donat­ ing all proceeds from the showing to Hun­ ger and Homelessness Week. The film will be shown Nov. 15-17 and admission is $1 or one canned good. Hunger and Homelessness Week will receive its official kickoff Nov. 18, Hatcher said. A poetry reading, sponsored by the English department, will be held 7-9 p.m. in the student union. Those who read poetry will be charged $1, while spec­ tators will pay $2. Alpha Phi Omega will sponsor a fast Nov. 19. Hatcher said that students do not necessarily need to refrain from eating for 24 hours. "Fasting can include giving something up that you wouldn't normally giwe up, (such as) cigarettes, al­ cohol, or television," she said. Hatcher said that the 24-hour fast is a good way for campus organizations to be involved in the week's events. "Any campus organization can contact Alpha Phi Omega," she said. "Organizations can get sponsors and encourage members to fast for 24 hours to raise money." Hatcher said that any organiza­ tion wishing to participate as a group in the fast can call Alpha Phi Omega repre­ sentative Chan Harrison (266-7085) for information. A Hunger Banquet, sponsored by the Student Government Association, will be held Nov. 20 at 6:30 p.m. in the Attic Window room of the student union. Ac­ cording to Hatcher, students will pay a $3 admission fee (or $2 and one canned good) and will participate in a random drawing to determine their "status" as a member of a high, middle, or low income group. This drawing will determine the quality and quantity of the participant's meal, Hatcher said. A sleep-out on Sanford Mall will be held Nov. 21. A drum circle will also perform at the event, Hatcher said. Accord­ ing to Hatcher, the sleep-out, which will be sponsored by Community Action Corps, promises to be another opportunity for or­ ganizations to participate and raise funds for the week. Those interested in fundraising information can contact Jeannie Garber at 262-5274, Hatcher said. The week's finale, a jazz concert sponsored by A.RRS., will be held Nov. 22 at 7 p.m. in Legends. According to Hatcher, for $3, students can see musicians Todd Wright and Friends, Jazz Ink, Jazz En­ sembles I and II, and the Jazz Vocal En­ semble. Hatcher said that students inter­ ested in participating in any of the Hunger and Homelessness Week events should look on campus for fliers and banners that will highlight more specific details as the week approaches. �Paj Page 2 The Appalachian 12 November ] Colleges from page 1 Toy from page 1 on Friday to discuss their thoughts1 and ideas before Biddle presents (Provost Harvey Durham with a ;summation.

However, there were Jso a lot of students who parked their car there all be time. For those students, last Thursday was definitely lot a good day. While Boone Creek surged late rhursday night and early Friday morning, many cars md trucks sat in the lot untouched by their owners, vaiting for the water to rise. Now its common knowledge that that area of ;ampus lies on a floodplain. It is, after all, one of die lowest areas in Boone. However, when students signed up to park in this lot in the begining of the yrear they were given no notice that the lot may flood jeriodically and that if it did the school was not esponsible for any damage. So basically, students paid one hundred dollars for the "privilege" of parking on-campus only to lose hundreds or thousands of dollars when their cars were filled with mud and water Friday. For many students, the damage was much worse. Most of those who were parked in the lot that night are having their cars totaled since the damage to the cars costs more than the entire car itself. One woman's car actually floated across the lot! She has two sons attending this school who she has to worry about paying for plus she did not have car insurance. For students who did have insurance, they might receive some money eventually, but probably not enough to pay for a new vehicle as good as their old one. And, no one will be paid for all the headaches and aggravation that will come to them from this. Meanwhile, the school claims that they are not responsible and getting away with it because of some clever little clause they have written down some­ where. All the University Police are doing is just filing reports on all the cars that were flooded so they can have it on record. Of course nothing will come of these reports that will help those who lost their only means of transportation to work and or home. No money will ever reach the hands of students who may now be out thousands of dollars, despite the fact that the school did NOT call students that night to warn them that their cars might be in danger. Back in September, when a hurricane threat­ ened to bring torrential rains to Boone, students were called the day before and advised to move their vehicles. The lot never flooded but at least the uni versity did the right thing and erred on the side of caution. This time no calls were made before, or even after the lot flooded so many students walked down to the lot that Friday in a good mood, ready to start their weekend only to find their cars ruined. This time the university screwed up big time and no amends will made to students who were victims in this flood, and that is just plain wrong.

Gantt t's over! Down Home with Bob Hutton Columnist I don't take politics too seriously. 1 dig political statistics. 1 love to talk politics with friends, family and drunks (some of these falling into more than one category). I even picked political science as a minor But still, I don't see politics as a reliable means of solving problems. Ergo, I don't belong to a political party. In my tome state of Virginia, we're not required to sub­ mit a party when we register to vote and I think that's great. I don't want to be in a party. I suppose wouldn't mind joining up with an organization that shared my political ideologies and views, but the Huns have not been around for some time now.j So for me, aside from voting every year and blowing up the occasional ATF building, politics is: strictly a spectator sport. Of course spectators like spectacles and yall's recent senatorial race certainly filled that bifl. Jesse Helms, the would-be commencement speaker at Ap­ palachian business college graduation ceremony our most conservative U.S. senator (arguably), andl one of the most colorful and controversial publicfigures of our time was running against former stock; car driver Harry Gant. Wait, that's not right. It wasn't stock car driver Harry Gant, it was former Charlotte mayor and? prominent slumlord Harvey Gantt. I'm always get-' ting them mixed up. But that's irrelevant. The thing that was really interesting was see-j ing the election from a university. Universities are] and, I suppose, have always been forums for radical or liberal dogma (I hate using empty, overused terms like "liberal" and "conservative" but that's' about all you people understand), and I bet that a lot of students perceive our school as a Gibraltar of rational thought in a sea of ignorant provincialism. I bet there's also a number of other Appala­ chian students who have at least one lick of sense. After all, as Brother Dave Gardner said, a liberal is just someone "educated beyond their capacity" (please, liberal readers, don't take that as an in­ sult, but rather as an affront to your intelligence). Needless to say, after Helms* victory last week, outrage was probably a rampant emotion among: many campus groups like the College Democrats, NOW, B-GLAD, SAVE, and any of the other insipid , activist groups you might care to name. On the other hand, the victory was probably celebrated by groups like the Young Republicans and, well, the Young Republicans. All in all, 1 think that we can safely assume that if Appalachian State was Jesse Helms' entire elec­ torate (the thought gives me a nose bleed) he would: have lost. This being the case, I suppose the word that best sums up my reaction to Helms' victory is glee.: Glee is a funny little word that's rarely used in con-: temporary conversation or literature, but I can think: of no other word that better describes the feelings* of childlike gaiety, merriment and verve (yes, verve) that I experience when I think about the disappoint­ ment and indignation felt by so many anti-Hel voters at ASU. jh 1 suppose that is the one thing I really admin about Jesse Helms: he makes a lot of people mad. He's got audacity, and audacity has a permanent spot on my list of virtues right between contrarie and self-indulgence. Sen. Helms thrives on con troversy and that's a good thing to thrive on. Nevertheless, please don't misinterpret me. I mentioned before, I have only an academic inter* est in this state's senatorial election. I can't ev< vote in this state. I have no affinity for Sen. He politics (actually I have no affinity for anyone's poli­ tics except for my own). To tell the truth, as a statesman, Jesse Helms stands poorly in comparison to his predecessor Sanf Ervin. (For those of you who are native North Caro­ linians and have never heard of Sam Ervin, per*, haps you might consider foregoing that next Friends" episode and try something weird like, _ don't know, reading. How did you get out of high, school anyway?) Despite these shortcomings, the reason his win­ ning makes me so happy is the fact that so many of you, my dear readers, wanted him to lose. That's right, just disagreeing with my fellow students is enough reason to take even the most unbelievable position. I don't mind being outnumbered either, if fro in the minority, that's probably a pretty good indicator that I'm right, especially around here. Now you may say that I'm skirting the issues here but it is my contention that the issues are not as important as they seem. Jesse Helms is just one member of the Senate. He only gets one vote just like everybody else. But there is something else at work here. Helms has become a symbol to some people and, to many beating him would have been a symbolic win against the stodgy conservativism that he stands foe I suppose North Carolinians should feel spe­ cial that their senior senator has transcended the mortal coil and become an emblem for an entire way of thinking. That's certainly a bigger job than Foreign Relations Committee chairman. Unfortunately for many, the emblem could not be struck down.

It was a symbol of our gents' generation. It was a mainstay of nerican pop culture. It was the "latch,y" kid's alternative to parental super;'ion after school. But it was, after all, just an early com about a fantasy world where grass js replaced by astro-turf, dad always l(j the answers, and life's worst crises ;re reduced to Marsha's broken nose. It should have gone the way of bell ,ttoms and affos and been little more an a quaint reminder of our culture's ^t eccentricities. Right? Apparently not. When Bary Williams .lea. Greg Brady) appeared in Legends ednesday night, the large group of stu­ nts who came to see big brother Greg oved that the show's impact on our genation has had more permenant side ef:ts. Not only has it spawned two new •vies in the recent past, but apparently, segment of our population remained •affected by the show's weaknesses hile growing up, and evolved into a range species - the Brady fans. Leslie N. Mclnturff, a senior from reenville, Tenn., was a good example of ie Brady hysteria present at the show, bout seeing Williams, she said, "This 3dy could be the single greatest moment of my life." And she was not alone. Tension was obvious in the whispering and giggling audience as the appointed time ap­ proached when everyone would see the man who played the oldest Brady son. Then he appeared and everyone stared and applauded in amazement and excitement as the definitely aged, yet still very Brady Barry Williams walked on stage. Williams' show only fed the audience's excitement. It was truly a fine perfor­ mance, combining enough confirmation of juicy gossip to satisfy the most hard­ core Brady fan, and enough humor and action to satisfy the less obsessed. The first part was basically a comedy routine filled with stories about being a Brady. Throughout the routine he inter­ spersed clips from the show and other less known Brady appearances, as well as a vocal solo from "Les Miserables" and a demonstration of the Brady dance, which about 20 members of the audience joined him in. The audience made one thing clear, Brady fans are everywhere. So, for you hard-core fans, here's a little extra infor­ mation Williams gave in a backstage in­ terview. The Interview Williams said that he has always con­ sidered himself to be primarily a singer, and that's where he sees his career focused for the future. Besides his broadway successes, he also sang the national anthem at a Yan­ kees' game and a Dodgers' game. In the future, he's already looking at a four month tour in 1998 doing a performance of 'The Goodbye Girl." Williams is no longer married, though he had a two-year relationship with "a wonderful lady." He said that the separa­ tions because of his career were just too tough. "I'm back to auditioning, you see. I hang around the med-schools." According to Williams, the original Brady cast has "evolved kind of like into a second family." They all still keep up with each other. In the show, Williams admitted that yet another Brady reunion might be a possibility in the future. And all of those surfing clips in Ha­ waii? "You can't fake that," said Williams. He said that the only thing he's been longer than a Brady has been a surfer. Williams said that he had a very small high school class. "It was just Marsha and me". He did attend college at Pepperdine University, but he never finished. This was Williams' first trip to Boone, but he said that he was very impressed with the scenery and how nice the people are. He currently resides in Los Angeles. And for those of you who did not go to see the show, yes, Barry did date and eventually kiss both Marsha and Mom. This definately shocked some of the more obsessed members of the audience. But remember, it was only a show. Or was it? Barry Williams, also known as Greg Brady, performs at Legends. (Photo by Marvin Evans) Chlamydia becomes a prevalent STD Carol Clayton Reporter orks such as "Chosen Sisters" are on display as part of Elastic Visions. Diverse artistic mediums to >e exhibited in Smith Gallery Jennifer Sharpe Staff Writer The Catherine J. Smith Gallery in Far­ ing Auditorium is hosting the opening the exhibition "Elastic Visions." The exhibit contains works from 20 fferent artists who used computers, inters, scanners and other kinds of tech'logy as their tools of creation. Joan Truckenbrod, curator and area ad of the art and technology departsnt at the School of the Art Institute of 'icago, said "each artist is a pioneer, irking on the precarious edge of tradi'nal media/new media." Truckenbrod also pointed out that 2re are "two dimensions of artistic ex^ssion in the electronic arena." The first -ludes the interactive elements, while the other involves art forms "remaining in a suspended electronic state until the artist gives them form," she said. Gallery director Hank T. Foreman agreed, saying that computer art has been around since the 1970's, but the artists of that time were "more interested in expos­ ing people to different kinds of technol­ ogy and concentrated on interactive things." Elastic Visions is an exhibit more con­ cerned with visual product and not a great deal of hands-on elements, he said. It also includes several multi-dimen­ sional works and is expected to draw much attention from the graphic arts stu­ dents and faculty at Appalachian. The exhibit will run through Dec. 13 and admission is free. The gallery is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. A recent study found that chlamydia was the most commonly reported infec­ tion in 1995. According to the American Social Health Association (ASHA), the need for more aggressive screening and treatment for this sexually transmitted disease is necessary. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which track 52 infectious diseases, received reports of 477,638 cases of chlamydia in 1995, more than any other infection. However, chlamydia is far more common than this figure indi­ cates. "Estimates of new chlamydia infec­ tions in the U.S. each year are as high as four million, making it the fastest spread­ ing STD," said Peggy Clarke, ASHA presi­ dent. "The great irony is that, if it is de­ tected, chlamydia is easily treated and cured." Chlamydia has no long-term effects if detected and cured in its early stages. However, undetected chlamydia has se­ vere consequences, especially for women. It can lead to pelvic inflammatory dis­ ease (PID), which can cause severe chronic pain and scarring of the fallopian tubes, causing infertility. PID can also cause an ectopic pregnancy, in which the fetus de­ velops outside the uterus. This is fatal to the infant and life-threatening to the mother. "It is difficult to detect chlamydia in­ fections, especially in women," said Dr. William Derrick of ASU Infirmary. 'The bacteria is located in the cervix, and there­ fore goes unnoticed." Chlamydia ap­ pears without symptoms in 75 percent of cases among women and 25 percent among men. "For men, the symptoms are much more noticeable. There is usually a dis­ charge as well as a burn while urinating," said Derrick. He urges men who have these symptoms to get tested immediately. "Chlamydia is the most common STD we see here on campus," said Derrick. "One of the most frustrating things we are faced with is the fact that most women are totally unaware that their partners have this disease. Many men receive treatment and never tell their partners." "Doctors at ASU Infirmary screen for chlamydia when they perform Rap smears, however, it is important to ask to be tested," said Derrick. "Many women as­ sume that their annual gynecological exam includes a test for STDs, or that Pap smear screens for these infections, but this is not always the case." Chlamydia patients are cured with antibiotics. Once cured, the infection is permanendy eliminated unless there is more exposure. Derrick recommends pro­ tected intercourse and open communica­ tion as the key to eradicating the spread of this common STD.

Play festival to showcase student productions Danny Sink Staff Writer The New Play Festival, which has been around for about 20 years, has become a tradition at Appalachian. November 1416 that tradition will be revived in the I.G. Greer Arena Theatre with the introduc­ tion of three new plays from some excit­ ing campus playwrights. The New Play Festival is a forum for students to write, direct, act and become involved with the production of plays. These one act plays are chosen from a bank of entries that are put before a com­ mittee involved with the Play Crafters. This years choices represent a bit of new blood mixed in with a healthy dose of experience. The first one act of the night, They Never Are, was written by Miellyn Fitzwater, a sophomore English major and first time New Play Festival writer. This play deals with the relationships that men and women become involved with, and the roles that sex can play in these rela­ tionships. Keeley L. Parker plays Sara, a young college-aged woman attempting to find what friendship really is, while dealing with relationships that are not always quite what they seem. This intriguing drama kicks off the night. It is directed by Nicole Bubolo. The mood of the night quickly takes on a smile with The Art of Dating and Other Tall Tales by C.F. "Snapper" Mor­ gan III. Snapper is well known for his play Showbiz, which has become well re­ nowned even past the borders of Boone.

'Trainspotting" is a British made film 'ch showed this past weekend in I.G. !er. It tackles more than just Holly°d. It addresses such topics as drug 'se, the meaning of life, alcoholism, > love, friendships and stealing, just to be a few. Eva M. Carter, a sophomore from Asheville said that she thought the film was "a statement about the human condi­ tion". But the film isn't melodramatic or sappy. It is successful because, first of all, it presents interesting and believable char­ acters. The film starts off by giving each of the characters a nickname, which au­ tomatically interests viewers as to why those nicknames exist and forces them to ask whether or not the nicknames fit. And it makes them more human. "Trainspotting" is focused on heroin addicts in underground Edinburgh, Scot­ land. But the film is not just about drug addicts. It is also interspersed with such characters as an extremely violent alco­ holic, an underaged seductress and a health nut who turns to drugs and gets AIDS. And the drug addicts aren't stereo­ types either. They have their faults and their good points, as well. The main character, although one of the most likable characters, also is a junkie who lies, steals and eventually rips off his best friends. And he has an illegal rela­ tionship with a minor. Are we supposed to like this guy? We do because the characters aren't stereotypes, they're human. That's why the film is able to say so much. The movie also presents a story that actually has a good plot. It begins with an action filled chase through the streets of Edinburgh, then flips back to what led up to that chase. The rest of the film is about what happened afterwards. There is a clearly defined plot which follows the main character's life. graphic violence with a point".

This is the last ar that the conference will have a two e-team division format as the league 11 add two squads, Wofford and College Charleston within the next two years, nile losing one important member in arshall. Listed below is a quick rundown each team in the conference in the orr in which the coaches picked them to tish this season. North Division Marshall University looks to finish out last year in the Southern Conference th a bang. Returning starters include "ee point marksman Keith Veney, who ot 45.5 percent from behind the big arc season, and 6'8" junior center John own. Brown will be looked upon do ost of the inside work while Veney keeps defenses honest with his work from out­ side the arch. A notable addition to the team will be 6'10" junior college transfer, Vince Carafelli. With the incredible tal­ ent and depth at coach Gregg Whites' dis­ posal, a title, be it the tournament or the regular season seems a strong possibility. Davidson, after its perfect 14-0 sea­ son in conference play last year, will look to knock Marshall out of the number one spot. Only one starter from last year's team will return. Ray Mineland, who was previously looked at as an integral part of this year's team has transferred to St. Francis in Pennsylvania. Another impor­ tant player that will not be around this year is Ben Ebong. Sophomore Ali Ton (6'0") will be given the nod to lead the Wildcats at point guard. Narcisse Ewodo, 6'8", will be the main man in the middle for the Wildcats. Despite all of these de­ tractors, Davidson will still be a force in the conference. VMI, after its best season in 17 years at 18-10, looks to pick up right where they left off. Leading scorer Brent Connelly returns along with a couple of highly touted recruits including 6'10" center Chris Dinunzio. In the middle, forward *seem Livingston, ASU's scoring leader last year, in action (file photo) Mike Spinnelli (6'8") is going to take over. Whoever is playing for the Keydets will try to outrun opponents early and often. Coach Bart Bellairs had this to say about the seemingly one-dimensional qualities of his team: "People are sadly mistaken if they think they're going to stop Connelly and stop VMI this year. Connelly's best at­ tribute is his passing." Appalachian is going into this season as an underdog and quite understandably so. Having two 20-loss seasons doesn't really do anything for the rankings of any team. Leading the team will be senior point guard Junior Brasswell, and junior forward Kareem Livingston. Livingston has developed into one of the league's fin­ est players. While cashing in a triple double performance in the Southern Con­ ference Tournament, Brasswell demon­ strated he has all the potential of any other player in the league. East Tennesee State will look to re­ build this season. New Head Coach Ed DeChellis, a former Penn State assistant, will be at the helm this year. DeChellis' job, basically is to build the program from scratch. New players include Courtney Simpkins (6'8") and Gareth Davis (610"). from SC in '97 Furman hasn't exactly climbed out of the cellar of the conference yet, but they are on the way. All five starter's from last year return along with a strong recruiting class. The star player on this team will be junior forward/center Chuck Vincent who averaged 15 points a game.

Fairness, Accuracy and Public Service since 1934 One copy free SGA expresses concern Crime wave heightens student fears Beth Bliss Staff Writer Student Government Association President Kaye Cranford and Vice-Presi­ dent Todd Poole expressed concern about recent violence at Appalachian State Uni­ versity during Wednesday's SGA meeting. "(Violence) is a deep concern of SGA," Poole said. While SGA has already taken some measures to combat violence, such as the Walk for Awareness held in Sep­ tember and the Mountaineer Escort ser­ vice, they are looking for more ways to get involved, Poole said. Poole said that SGA hopes to or­ ganize a safety forum to be held in the future. "It's going to take all of us to solve this problem," he said. Cranford also said that she has been working with administrators to con­ tradict the opinion of many students that university officials have "been trying to cover up crimes." Cranford says that she is work­ ing to have the details of all crimes pub­ lished on the back page of The Appala­ chian with the hope of making crime known to students. Also on the agenda was Hannah Horton, publicity chairperson of the Ap­ palachian chapter of the North Carolina Student Legislature. Horton addressed the Student Government Association TUesday with the intent to "publicize (her) organi­ zation and gain new members." According to Horton, the NCSL, which is "the oldest active state student legislative body in the nation," is a stu­ dent-run model of the North Carolina State Government. The organization is composed of students from 25 colleges and universi­ ties across the state and is both non-profit loliday Book Signing Jeremy Ball Staff Writer 3t in tOUCh...

According to Jim Street, assistant director for the Center of Student Involve­ ment and Leadership, the safety policies of Greek organizations are reviewed semi-annually - once in February, after new officers have been elected, and again in the fall. "Some groups have been too le­ nient with their safety rules, and there is the need to go over policies again," Street said. "We revisit these policies just so there are no questions as to how to plan for safe gatherings." Street said that the objective of the meetings are to make fraternities aware that they need to know who at­ tends their parties and other social func­ tions. According to Street, each Greek organization has a risk management policy that needs to be followed by all member chapters. In addition to this policy, groups may follow risk reduction guidelines for safe programming of events within the Greek organization. One component of the risk-man­ agement policy is that fraternities are sup­ posed to have a guest list for all social events. "Fraternity parties are not (sup­ posed to be) a social outlet for ASU (stu­ dents) or for the town of Boone," Street said. "Each chapter needs to know who's coming (to social events)." When asked if the safety rules of fraternities needed to be reviewed in lieu of the recent violence involving two fra­ ternities (an attack on Sigma Nu pledges and an alleged rape at a Kappa Alpha party, both of which occurred in October), Interfraternity Council President Matt Godfrey said that altering the rules after the fact would merely be like putting a band-aid over the problem. "Our main goal is to enforce safety through education of fraternity members and the community together," Godfrey said. editing, as well as to inform the group as to who will be speaking on behalf of ASU. At the interim council, students will present resolutions to a resolutions committee, and once it has been looked over, a student will have the opportunity to present the resolution on the floor, Horton said. Those who participate in the in­ terim council should be familiar with Robert's Rules of Order and parliamentary procedure, Horton said. "NCSL is a great way to get your foot in the door if you're considering poli­ tics as a possible career," she said. 'The North Carolina state legislature listens to us." "For example, in 1986 NCSL passed a resolution that Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday should be a state holiday. The next year, the state followed suit (and passed its own resolution)." Horton invited all interested stu­ dents to attend an NCSL meeting on Mon­ day in room 147, Whitener Hall. Free card offers students discounts Managingtditor Week in the Arts | and non-partisan. Horton said that the ASU chap­ ter of NCSL meets each Monday to dis­ cuss various procedures as well as new and old business, and to practice debate. In addition, Horton said that one week­ end out of each month, chapters from each of the 25 participating schools congregate at one chosen university to hold an in­ terim council, during which debates are held on resolutions written by students. The NCSL interim council will be held at Appalachian Nov. 22-24. Horton said that students are invited to come to the Grandfather Mountain Ballroom in the Student Union from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. to present a resolution. "Anyone can write a resolution," said Horton. "All it takes is a good idea and five or more statistics (to ensure) credibility." Horton said that any student in­ terested in writing a resolution to be pre­ sented at the interim council should bring it to a weekly meeting of NCSL for peer Renee Cagle The Department on Language, .eading and Exceptionalities is hosting holiday book signing Wednesday from 1 a.m. to 1 p.m. in 126 Duncan Hall.

Volume 71, Number 18 Appalachian State University Boone, North Carolina 28608 Every student will receive a stu­ dent discount card for use at local busi­ nesses in their mailbox tomorrow, com­ pliments of the Appalachian State Univer­ sity Student Government Association. According to Jenny Ruggieri, SGA state affairs chair, Appalachian has distrib­ uted discount cards in the past but due to lack of interest by students, there has not been one in the last year or so. The idea for the new card came about at the end of last semester and was researched by the SGA state affairs com­ mittee. Ruggieri said outside companies were willing to make the card, but wanted to charge local businesses hundreds of dollars to be on the card. Instead, SGA decided to do it themselves. Ruggieri said they charged businesses $25 each to cover the printing costs for the new cards. 'This card is a great way for busi­ nesses to advertise to 12,000 students," she said. SGA conducted student surveys of what businesses students frequent and where they would most like to have a dis­ count. Of the 50 businesses contacted by SGA, 13 responded. The businesses fea­ tured on the card are a variety of restau­ rants and stores. Ruggieri said that restrictions on certain items are up to the businesses and there are no discounts on alcohol. One of the featured businesses, Ski Mountain, does not designate a specific percentage off, but will give students a dis­ count which is up to their discretion. SGA does plan to check in with merchants to see if the cards are being used by students. "I think our biggest problem might be students not using the card," said Ruggieri. Ruggieri said she believes the cards will foster community relations because it shows that local merchants support the university. She also said the card will help people see that SGA is for the community and students. Students seem to like the idea as well. "Ifll come in handy," said Rodney B. Morrison, a junior from Charlotte. "Who wouldn't use a discount?" When asked if she would use the card, Jennifer C. Fisher, a sophomore from Charlotte said, "Yeah! We go to those places anyway, we might as well get discounts." "The merchants are excited and I'd like to see this program continued," said Ruggieri.

The honorary designation was presented durning an awards banquet Oct. 25 held in conjunction with Homecom­ ing activities at the university. The honor recognizes the com­ mitment made to the university's mission and vision as well as service made to the university by those who have neither at­ tended nor graduated from Appalachian. Allen taught in Appalachian's po­ litical science and criminal justice depart­ ments for 25 years. Allen has received outstanding teaching awards from Appalachian's Board of Trustees, the Stu­ dent Government Association, the Appa­ lachian Alumni Association and the Col­ lege of Arts and Sciences Academy. Allen, who graduated from Wake Fbrest University, made the lead gift which helped to establish the Edward Allen Jr. Scholarship in Political Science. To date, alumni and friends of Allen have contrib­ uted more than $50,000 to the scholar­ ship fund. Allen thanked the students, fac­ ulty and administrators for his enjoyable years of teaching.

This fascination with achieving the ideal professor has captured the attention of Dr. James Long, chairman of Appalachian State University's psychology department. "I think the faculty will read this (survey) and try to communicate better with students," Long said. "It (the results) can greatly increase the dialogue between the two." Long was assisted by former Ap­ palachian student William Sparks. Fifteen faculty members, 10 teaching assistants When does a date become a crime? and 200 students from the psyche department were involved in the ej ment.

The results of the election made Clinton the first Democratic president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt to be elected to consecu­ tive terms. Clinton's victory over Dole came by a large margin, with 280 electoral votes to Dole's 106. To win the office of president, only 270 electoral votes are needed. Dole took North Carolina in the popular vote. Dole had 453,627 of the popular votes whereas Clinton garnered only 400,607 votes. North Carolina voters were also careful to deny giving Clinton a Democratic Con­ gress. In voting for a Republican Congress, voters helped keep a balance between the two parties. Jesse Helms managed to defeat Harvey Gantt in the race for Tell them what you think.

Helms won a rare fifth term victory and the rematch against former the former Charlotte Mayor ended much the same way as in 1990. Helms has had plenty of political experience, having served in the U.S. Senate since 1973. He is also chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, a position in which he will most likely continue during his new term. To contact Helms at his Washington office, call (202) 224-6342. North Carolina Governor Jim Hunt was re-elected to an un­ precedented fourth term. In what could be the largest landslide in two decades, Hunt defeated Re­ publican challenger Robin Hayes. Hunt's agenda includes raising the average teacher's pay, reforming welfare and expanding the Smart Start children's pro­ gram. Other election results in­ cluded the victory of 93 year-old Strom Thurmond in South Caro­ lina and the defeat of Richard Petty by Elaine Marshall for North Carolina's Secretary of State. North Carolina also voted yes in school bond and road bond referendums. Also, 75 percent of the voters said yes to adding the veto power for the Governor. "I'm moderately happy that Clinton won even though I didn't vote for him," said Sopho­ more Eva Cartei; "but I'm glad Bob Dole didn't win. I don't know what was going on in people's heads when they re-elected Helms. I think Hunt's alright though." "Regardless of the bad publicity that Clinton received, I feel that he would be a better man than Dole said Louis Solomon, a junior at Appalachian. "I also feel that Helms is a bigot and I don't like him." Junior Rhonda Pitts said "I'm glad Clinton and Hunt won, but Helms is really out of touch. Hopefully Gantt will win next time." According to an article in The Charlotte Observer, voters have more confidence in the economy than in the president. When asked whether Clinton is "honest and trustworthy," 55 per­ cent said no. 60 percent said that they don't believe that Clinton told the truth about Whitewater, the failed Arkansas real estate venture.

Vanessa Urruela Ever have a regret so prominent in your mind at it haunts you to the point of irritation? This is been my experience over the last few days and re decided to share it with our readers in the hope at they may shed some light on my mental dimma. "No. That can't possibly mean what I think it >es," 1 thought to myself as I sat in King St. traffic lesday afternoon, staring at a sticker on the truck front of me. The sticker had a Confederate flag to the left id the following words to the right, "IF I'D KNOWN •US, I WOULD*VE PICKED MY OWN DAMN COT}N." My first reaction to this sight was severe shock, ten, after I gathered my faculties and realized what at probably meant, I had the urge to get out of my i and really let that idiot have it. The thought of terrogating the driver to find out what the heck : meant by the sticker was enticing. Unfortunately, :fore I could act, the light changed and the truck ed off. Now, I may never know what the heck he as thinking without the help of our readers. I reet not getting out of my car immensely. Forgive me if I seem ultra-sensitive, but I conder that sticker to be the most openly hateful thing lave ever seen in Boone besides homophobic mesiges in the tunnels. It has been in the back of my ind for the past couple days and I can't seem to lake it. One can only guess two main possible rhetoriil meanings of the sticker. First, one can assume that the young white man •iving the truck displayed the sticker in hopes of omoting the idea that the slave trade wasn't worth ie pain and suffering of blacks who endured genations of it. Unfortunately, we all know what hap:ns when we assume. Second, we can interpret it to mean that the iuth would've been better off without slaves beluse these people not only stayed, but settled here r good. Another facet to this theory could be that ie sticker asserts that blacks have too much free3m and shouldn't be here at all. Unfortunately, though I want to believe the rmer reasoning, the latter is just too pertinent in day's society; especially of that in the rural South. The reality of today is that people still have mislided, badly formed opinions on members of races fferent from their own. Call me naive, but I just iderstand how people can be so hateful and have at hate be based upon ignorance. The driver of the truck was accompanied by a 'ting woman (who I assume to be his girlfriend .sed upon how close she was sitting to him). What shame it is that the two of them have the chance procreate and teach their children to hate blacks, ist because." I would pity their child greatly. People who are so openly hateful really disgust ; as they have no basis for their racism. If this in (and I use that term in reference to his age and t his character) is a native of this county, I would illy like to know what he has to complain about. >w many black people have power in Boone? How actly are blacks making things hard for him to the int that he hates them enough to have that sticker his truck? Doesn't he know what town he's in? What besides the obvious, could this sticker :an? Is there some positive, pro-affirmative acn slant that's subliminal? I don't think so. Jesse :1ms couldn't have said something more openly :ist. So, readers, I leave it up to you. Please write to and help me shed some light on this baffling cker. I look forward to your input. Until then, 's just hope I don't see that blue truck again.

When right, to be kept right: when wrong, to be put right." - Carl Schurz Jesse Helms! Yeah,that's right Well-well-well. He did it. Again. Jesse Helms was re-elected for a fifth term Tuesday, defeating Democratic challenger Harvey Gantt 53 to 46 per­ cent. President Bill Clinton was re-elected as well, de­ feating Bob Dole with 49 percent of the popular vote. Clinton rolled up the electoral college vote with even greater ease, having attained the required 270 votes early Tuesday night. It's the constituency, stupid! Democrats everywhere complain about Helms and are incredulous that he keeps getting re-elected. Helms, despite widespread national opposition by special interest groups, was once again elected by the people of North Carolina. Hopefully, once and for all, this will be a lesson to those who find it impossible to believe that any­ one in their right (no pun intended) mind would vote for Jesse Helms. The reason why? Because he takes care of his people. You don't screw over the voters of your state continuously and hope to get re-elected continuously. It doesn't work that way. Perhaps if Helms' opposition had focused their campaign on what Gantt could do for North Caro­ lina instead of posting an anti-Helms extravaganza, they would have fared better at the polls. Yes, I know Gantt is not Helms. That point was made very clear by Gantt, the Democrats, Pearl Jam, interest groups, this newspaper, and students on this campus. But what does he stand for? Of course! He stood for family values (i.e. kitchen table issues). Who doesn't? It's too late now, but perhaps people have Campaign 96 Ryan Price Editorial Editor With his final 96 hour campaign frenzy, Dole proved that he was not a quitter; and earned the re­ spect of many non-Republicans by not going nega­ tive in the last desperate days (as several analysts were urging), and bowing out with dignity. Wrap up learned that you cannot unseat a popular, effective incumbent by run­ ning a race that fea­ tures the challenger as "not (fill in your favorite least politician's name here) so and so." Democrats have been trying for 24 years, and they've been sent home with their head in their hands for just as long. Dole gracious in defeat 'This country stands on the shoulders of men like Bob Dole,"- Jack Kemp, in his concession speech. With Clinton winning handily, Dole gave his con­ cession speech around 11 p.m. Tuesday night. Dole was gracious in defeat, giving credit to the president for his formidable campaign skills, and urging young Americans to stay involved in politics and to stick to their values. Dole said that he wanted to remain involved with his country, more than likely by working and lobby­ ing for the disabled. "I will sit back for a few days, and then stand up for what I believe in," said Dole. All and all, the election turned out the way many had predicted. Although Clinton was re-elected, his popularity wasn't enough for the Democrats to ride his coattails into Congress. The House Republicans lost 11 seats, but still hold a 21 seat advantage over Democrats. The Senate Republicans actually gained a few seats and remain a 55-45 Republican split. Governor Jim Hunt solidified his grip on the of­ fice and his un-official title, "Governor for life" by easily defeating Republican Robin Hayes. Hunt won by 13 percent and will be able to exer­ cise the new power of his office, the veto, for the next four years while possibly preparing to run for Lauch Faircloth's seat in 2000. Ronald Reagan was originally called the "Teflon President," for his ability to shake off accusations. Nothing would stick. Bill Clinton's new moniker should be the "Teflon President, Deux. The Razorback Files." (Actually, I heard that Fox may be picking up the idea for a new series, a'la "The X-Files" and "Millennium." Pretty scary stuff.) Clinton has been accused of more and is the most investigated president (including 'ol Tricky Dick) in our country's history. It may not be unrealistic to speculate that A1 Gore will indeed be president one day, but well before the 2000 election. The reunion that wasn't rassed. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

He was up there say­ ing "hippidy-hop black beans and pop." Dave was having a good time, being the motor mouth he be­ came famous for. Once again, Eddie was not happy. The third and final blow to Roth's chances hap­ pened backstage. This one was a doozy. Roth was constantly asking the band, when are we going to take this on tour?

Colors used to influence people Viewpoint by Daniel Bothun Columnist A couple of weeks ago I was flipping through the channels with my usual blinding speed, when I stopped to watch a story on the show called "Extra." The story that caught my attention was about the effect that colors have on the mind. The "Extra" cor­ respondent based her infor­ mation on a study that some psychologists did some­ where. (Sorry that I didn't write down the specifics about the study, but I was too busy reveling in my im­ maturity.) The gist of the story was that bright colors get people excited and cool colors mellow people out. When people see bright colored plates, they get ex­ cited and eat more. When people see cool colored plates, they chill out and eat less. The researchers said that white plates are the best ones to use. To prove the effect of colored plates on eating, "Extra" did a little experiment. They put some sort of pasta dish on two plates- of both warm and dull colors (I can't recall the specific dish, with my feeble mind and all). People on the street were asked which dish looked more appetizing, the one on the warm colored plate or the one on the cool colored plate. Naturally, the people chose the dish on the warm colored plate. So what does all this mean to you and I any­ way? Well, have you ever noticed all of the bright colors used by restaurants? Restaurants use this in­ formation about colors to their advantage. Chains like McDonald's, Burger King, Chick-FilA, Wendy's, Taco Bell, and a host of others use bright colors throughout their stores. These bright colors naturally affect the average consumer by inducing them to buy more of their life-giving products. Advertising executives, managers, corporate ex- ments are shown on television. Positive ads often contain scenes of a certain candidate shaking hands and smiling, cramming as many vague ideas and/or beliefs in the ad as possible. Every positive ad that I have ever seen uses bright, vibrant, flashy colors when portraying the protagonist candidate. When people like Mark and John Warner want to run dirty smear campaigns against each other, they use a few dark colors instead of bright colors. These smear campaign wars are waged with negative tele­ vision ads. These ads almost always use a black and white picture of the candidate, with a black back­ ground. Dark colors en­ courage the uniformed voters to think of the tar­ gets of these ads in a nega­ tive way. Campaign strate­ gists, candidates, labor unions, and other special interest groups all con­ spire against the average voter. These political groups obviously do not trust the average voter, and think that the average voter is a moron. If poli­ ticians were to trust the American people and treat them like intelligent human beings, they would never run negative, confusing ads. If politicians restored their trust in the American people, the American people would then restore their trust in government. Colors are being used in today's society to make a profit. They are being used by both the public and private sectors. The few people who have real power are misusing colors for their own selfish gain, often at the expense of the many who have no real power. This misuse of colors should be stopped in order to restore trust in the people who really matter; aver­ age Americans. Colors are being used, in today's society to make a profit. People who have real power are misusing colors for • their own selfish gain, often at the expense of the many who have no real power. ecutives, and other people in charge of restaurant chains choose their logos and color schemes very carefully. These people are masters at separating the average consumer from their money. They put on high-priced propaganda campaigns using flashy col­ ors, which are designed to entice consumers to buy their often substandard products. Corporate big shots, advertising agencies, CEOs, sign companies, and other capitalistic pigs are all conspiring against the average consumer in today's society. Not only is this information about colors used by restaurants, it is used in other places as well. Politicians, for example, use colors to their advan­ tage. This is most evident when political advertise- �Opi nio n Pa Letters to the Editor I Starling doesn't know jack - j .lt ««» Tj Rape more dangerous than assault behind and been as loud and proud as those Marshall Letter to the Editor: fans, if they had given their team the home field ad­ Letter to the Editor, vantage during the whole game and in particular I find it hard to believe that John Starling's when it really counted the most, when the team was On the evening of Friday, November 1, someone article in the 10-23-96 paper ("You wanted the behind. ; slid a flyer underneath the door of my dorm room, Luckily the game against Ga.

Was there ever that much of a doubt j,at Clinton would reign for another erm? Those who were avid supporters jf Bob Dole might have said otherwise, jut the fact of the matter is that he never iad a prayer from the very beginning. The media all over the country was naking predictions concerning the out­ line days before the election. Suppos>dly they had it all figured out. With all heir statisticians and political analysts ind new methods of predicting outcomes ar in advance, they were ready to tell he public who was going to win before cine had even voted. If this all seemed a little odd to you, rou are not alone. Let's take a closer look it the election conspiracy that we all vatched right before our eyes on every najor television network in America. First of all, NBC had a continuous re­ sults update at the bottom of their screen, letting you know who was winning and/ or who had already won in various other elections. They would occasionally bring this up to cover the whole screen when they thought they had some breaking news. The first problem with this was in the way they presented the data. They would give you the percentages of the popular vote each candidate had obtained thus far, in a particular state. Then they would put a check by the candidate who was ahead (usually Clinton) as if to proclaim he had already won. The numbers would add up to 100 percent, however, in smaller print at the top of the screen, it would read how many precincts for that state were report­ ing. Clinton would be claimed the victor, yet only 38 percent of the precincts were reporting. Hmmm... Secondly, all the national networks started posting incoming results, along with their predicted winners, as early as 6:30 pm, eastern standard time. Besides the fact that the east coast had anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour left to vote, it was only 3:30 pm on the west coast. West­ erners still had approximately four hours left before the polls closed. Hmmm... Not that everyone is that easily influ­ enced, but television and media play a big role in helping people make decisions for themselves, especially during election time. How many people decided not to even bother to vote once they saw who the media said was going to win? Hmmm... One final point is this: at about 6:30 pm NBC said that Clinton had already re­ ceived 275 electoral votes, proclaiming him the victor since you only need 270 to win. However, that many votes had not even been collected yet. Hmmm. Clinton would have more than likely won anyway. But, do you not feel a little cheated that a big part of the decision may have been made for you? Do you not feel as though the Clinton administration and the media had conspired to grab your votes... Hmmm...

The town of Verona has been hanged to Verona Beach, a fictional city "hich seems much more like Venice 'each, Calif, than anywhere in Italy. The Montagues and the Capulets are ival gangs who wield pistols in the place f swords and drive around in soupedP sports cars. If you're wondering why the title inludes Shakespeare's name, it's because re dialogue from the play is intact. And re amazing part: it works! At first, I thought the Middle English dent Programs David Robertson and Stu­ dent Government Association members, said student Dawn Lineberger, who is also working on the project. The committee picked the compo­ nents of each design they liked the best, and the whole class went to work on de­ signing a coffeehouse including each dif­ ferent element. What will students see in the new coffeehouse? It's going to be "contempo­ rary and cool," says Nightingale. Plans are to keep the stage and the dance floor. Two platforms will be put against the walls closest to the stage. One platform will have a piano on it with some couches and comfortable chairs by the instrument. The other will have some pub tables with bar stools for seats. Throughout the rest of the room, there will also be pub tables. The group decided to add win­ dows to help open up the coffeehouse a little bit. They will be getting furniture from the famous contemporary designer, Thayer Coggin. Although the project's original budget was $35,000, they have been al­ lowed a little leeway by the University, which makes them able to afford this. All of the funds are provided by stu­ dent fees, says David Robertson. No tax money is used in the project. The most notable difference will be the addition of a fireplace. The fireplace will have shelves on either side that will possibly get filled with books. There will be a couch near it, along with some com­ fortable chairs. According to interior design student Mary Lynn McCoy, it will add a "scholarly feel" to the room. The coffeehouse will still be used for entertainment, although the type of en­ tertainment will be more like poetry read­ ings and acoustic performances. Robertson also mentioned the potential for jazz and piano nights, or an open mike night. The great thing about this project, ac­ cording to all the students interviewed, was the opportunity to gain some real life experience before heading to graduation. "Most people don't have the opportu­ nity" to participate in projects like this, said McCoy. "It's really cool" to see what you design come to life, said Nightingale. The students are heavily involved in the project. Everyone is required to put in 15 hours a week. This project also counts as a major part of the students' grades. Robertson called their "energy and commitment outstanding. They get in there and work. They have already helped tear out the ceiling tiles and take out the acoustic screens. They will be doing the painting and some other construction work." Robertson and the students both expressed concern over the completion of the project by the end of the semester. There shouldn't be a problem, according to Robertson, as long as the materials ar­ rive on time. The only thing that might be delayed is the windows, which may not be made in time. Design students aren't the only ones _playing a pan in the looks of the new hangout. There will be student art dis­ played on the walls of the coffeehouse. If you're interested in getting your art on display, contact Robertson in the Student Programs Office. Appalachian State University Food Service will not be running the coffee­ house. Instead, it will be independently contracted to a company called Tradewinds, out of Raleigh. The company roasts their own coffee beans and "they are very excited to start a company here at Appalachian," says Nightingale. The opening reception will be on De­ cember 6, by invitation only. The floor plans will be displayed in the Catherine Smith Art Gallery that night. Some fac­ ulty, the contractors, the students who worked on the project and their families will be invited to attend. Designer Thayer Coggin may also be in attendance, accord: ing to Lineberger. The coffeehouse should open to students next semester. offersJuliet twist Preparing your vehicle new for the winter ahead prose would get really tiresome as I watched the opening action scenes, but as the movie progresses, and especially during the two lovers' more tender mo­ ments, I couldn't help but be drawn in by the movie. The fact that the dialogue goes un­ touched, while so many liberties have been taken with the setting and action, is what makes the movie so fun to watch. Romeo, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, is on a bad acid trip when he meets Juliet at the Capulet's costume party. Mercutio, Romeo's long-winded, flamboyant best friend, drives a red sports car with per­ sonalized license plates. He also does a drag number at the party which doesn't appear to help Romeo's bad trip. There are some double entendres used with the original lines from the play, however. For instance, in the scene in which Mercutio taunts his enemy, Tybalt, "Come give me a word and a blow," it's obvious he's not talking about a blow with a sword. Tybalt is played by John Leguizamo as a svelte, hot-headed Latino gunman. He portrays the "Prince of Cats" perfectly, oozing with guile for everyone associated with the Montagues. Pete Postlethwaite, who played Keysor Soze's lawyer in "The Usual Sus­ pects," plays Father Lawrence, who se­ cretly marries the title characters in his church while the choir sings "When Doves Cry." Through his sad-eyed, reserved per­ formance, you can see Father Lawrence really wants things to work out for the lovers. The cross tattooed on his back is pretty cool, too. DiCaprio and Claire Danes, playing the star-crossed lovers, anchor the film with gut-wrenching performances. Al­ though it's hard at first to imagine Danes as someone other than Angela from "My So Called Life," she makes you soon for­ get Angela by playing Juliet with a com­ bination of wide-eyed innocence and an emotional depth beyond Juliet's young age. DiCaprio shows Romeo's leariness at the feuding that surrounds him, as well as the consuming passion he feels for Juliet. The quiet scenes they have together are the best moments in the film. Most of the people in the theater were crying by the end of the movie, despite the fact that they (hopefully) already knew the outcome. You feel so much for these two characters that toward the end, you re­ ally want there to be a turn of events to avoid the tragic ending. I guess most of the credit should go to the director, Baz Lurhmann, for hav­ ing the vision to present the play in such a unique and enthralling way. If this doesn't get high schoolers interested in Shakespeare, nothing will.

On August 2,1996, the game of football flashed back to the tempo­ rary glory days of iron man football. The nation's beloved Deion Sanders became the first professional player in many years to start on offense and defense. Sanders was on the field for about 100 plays as the World Cham­ pion Dallas Cowboys took on the Chi­ cago Bears. Over the entire pre-season, the press jumped on the custom­ ized by BMW bandwagon Sanders was only happy to pull along. Sanders gave up baseball. So what? He wasn't that good anyway. How many times was he traded? Something like three or four times, off the top of ray nearly bald head. Deion didn't give up baseball, teams kept giving up on Sanders when his marketability wore out. Sanders, being the all-around flamboyant, press grabbing, gold chain wearing airhead he is, decided to play football "full-time," which I am glad he did, because he is the best defensive back in the NFL. With Michael Irvin being suspended for the first five games of the season for play­ ing "Superfly" In a hotel with two "self-employed" models, a little weed, cocaine, and a few tools of self plea­ sure, the stage was set for Sanders to apture the spotlight. Of course, the light was coming from the headlights )f Sanders $30,000 customized golf art, complete with stereo and air :onditioner. (A golf cart with an air :onditioner and no doors, doesn't :xacdy make much sense does it?) People should realize just because landers played offense and defense, hat doesn't make him Superman. If veryone else played both ways, I mess Sanders would want to run the ameras so they would be in place whenever he actually made a legit ackle. Football has grown in tremenous leaps and bounds over the last 0years or so. Players, personalities, alaries, attitudes, on and off the field "oubles and responsibilities have esalated to the point that the final froner is beginning to look small. For instance, Atlanta Falcons uarterback Jeff George was susended for fighting with his coach then he was pulled him from a game, 'ello, Mr. George, you were playing 3r the Falcons. I bet my junior high Aool team, which are also called the alcons, could beat the "big boys" if ley ever played them. The coach [as doing George a favor by taking •m out. I would have bought the tech one of those Deion Special Golf arts if I was George. They say things get better with tne. Well, for Denver's John Elway, 'is appears to be true. He is having * excellent year. I guess with a runng game, Elway actually is running r his life while making those fourth tarter comebacks. But, for poor Jim % of Buffalo, time is treating him a bottle of "Thunderbird" that's ;en sitting on the shelf a little too n8- Kelly is playing for lack of a ;tter work, awful. He got about one uchdown and 50 interceptions so r this season. That's just plain aw- Marcus Allen, is still chugging teg. I mean, this man is old enough be some of his teammate's father, d is still playing like a kid. Allen's 2 NFEs version to Jason or Michael i^rs, no matter how bad you beat he just keeps coming back. The rookies of this year's season 2 not to be overlooked. Eddie °rge of the Houston (possibly See NFL page 12 In a sweet ending to a sometimes bit­ ter year, the Appalachian State University field hockey team won the Deep South Tournament for the first time in 10 years this past weekend. Appalachian senior and tri-captain, Megan Corradino was named most valu­ able player for the tournament. Kim Blackwell, another one of the team's tricaptains, called capturing the tournament title a "total team effort." "It ended (the season) on a good note," said Blackwell. Five players were named to the alltournament team. Miki Bingham, Jenni­ fer Broderick, Jodi Crystal, Corradino and Andrea Pelliccio all received this honor. Appalachian played two games in the tournament, and won them both. The first was against Catawba on Saturday. Broderick, Colleen Martin, Mary Zesk, and Blackwell all scored to shut out the Indians, 4-0. Corradino had eight shots on goal and Kathryn Pearson had nine saves in the goal. The second game, played on Sunday, was another shut out. Dana Fabretti and Pelliccio had goals in the 3-0 win. The other goal was scored by Rachel Bergman, who normally plays goalie. Corradino led the team in shots on goal with eight. Coach Cathy Burleson was very happy with her team's performance. Since their win in Louisville, she "knew they would be unstoppable." They ended the season with three straight wins in Kim Blackwell in action earlier this season at Kidd Brewer Stadium with Megan Corradino watching in the background. Appalachian finished their season by winning the Deep South Tournament in Salisbury, (file photo) regular season play, which brought their record to 4-12. According to Burleson, the upperclassmen worked extremely hard to put everything together. As for next year, the team will lose two key players to graduation in Corradino and Broderick, but Burleson feels that some of the core players will step up to take over leadership positions, If the Apps do a good job recruiting there should be a marked improvement next year. Men's and Women's Soccer get ready for conference tournaments this weekend It David Jackson Staff Writer The fate of Appalachian's men's and women's soccer teams ride on this weekend's Southern Conference Tourna­ ment. A win, and the season lasts at least one more day. A loss means the end of a disappointing season for both squads. Men's Coach Art Rex takes his team to Greenville, South Carolina, knowing that the path to the championship will be a difficult journey. "It will be a tough road for us," said Rex. 'This has been a tough year for us and we hope that we can go down there and put something together." The Mountaineers meet defending tournament champion Davidson in first round action Friday at noon. The Wild­ cats finished the season with a 7-13 over­ all record, 3-3 in league play. Senior for­ ward Robert Clarke leads the Davidson attack, compiling seven goals and two assists for15 points during the regular sea­ son. Appalachian downed the Wildcats earlier this season as sophomore Naoshi Yamauchi sent a shot past Wildcat goal­ keeper Matt Hill with less than two min­ utes remaining in regulation to give the Apps' a 1-0 victory. Since 1988, Appalachian holds an 8-7 record in Southern Conference tourna­ ment play. The Mountaineers claimed the league crown in1990, as the Apps' knocked off The Citadel 5-4, in an overtime shootout. Appalachian took an early exit from last season's tournament as Georgia Southern handed the Mountaineers a 6-4 overtime loss. The last time Davidson hooked up with the Apps' in a post season contest was on Nov. 5,1994, as the Moun­ taineers downed the Wildcats, 3-1 in over­ time, to advance to the tournament finals. "In order for us to be successful, our upper classmen need to play real well," remarked Rex. "We really need to have all 18 players on the same page." The winner of the AppalachianDavidson contest takes on Furman, Sat­ urday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. The tour­ nament concludes Sunday afternoon with the championship match at 3:00 p.m. Women's Head Coach Tracy Davis is relying on the play of the younger mem­ bers of her women's soccer team as they head to Davidson Friday afternoon for the women's portion of the Southern Confer­ ence tournament. Davis' troops head into tournament play with a 4-14-2 overall record, 2-5-1in league action. The Mountaineers battle Tennessee-Chattanooga in first round ac­ tion Friday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. Appa­ lachian squeaked past the Lady Mocs in two earlier meetings this season by scores of 1-0 and 3-2 in overtime. The match will feature two of the top goalkeepers in the nation. Tennessee Southern Conference to be decided without Appalachian With a week off to rest themselves, the Appalachian State University football team can sit back this weekend and take in some of the other games around the country as they prepare for in-state rival Western Carolina. This week's big game in the South­ ern Conference will be the long awaited Marshall-ETSU match-up that pits the two conference leaders against each other. Marshall, ranked number one in the country, will try to take the Southern Con­ ference crown with them before moving up to the Division I-A Trans-America Con­ ference next season. East Tennessee State, ranked seventh in the nation, is the one team in the con­ ference that still has a chance to become the new champ if they can topple the Goliath named Marshall. One thing the Buccaneers will have working for them on Saturday is the home-field advantage For ETSU and its patented aerial attack, playing in the Mini-Dome is a decided advantage. It will probably be strange for some of the Mountaineers this weekend, as the fate of the Southern Conference will be decidedwithout their involvement This time last year, ASU was 9-0 and well on Mike Daniels Staff Writer sports commentary their way to winning the conference and going undefeated in the regular season, setting a state record for wins. Now the defending champs are basi­ cally fighting for that one thing that every good team with a couple losses at this time of year plays for; respectability. There is still a faint chance that the Apps could make the post-season. At 5-4 the Apps are ranked 26th in the country. For the Mountaineers to even have a chance at the post-season they would need to win out their last two games and rely on a million other things to hap­ pen around the country. So what happened to that team that always seemed to have a way to win? Where did that feeling - that no matter what happened, you always knew the Mountaineers were going snatch victory from the jaws of defeat - go? This team was ranked fourth in the nation and a vir­ tual lock for the playoffs at one point this season. How did that slip away so quickly? A lot of people say you can predict how a team will do just by their perfor­ mance in the first game of the season. I guess in the case of Appalachian, that theory holds true. The team's season opener at Wake Forest has proved to be a microcosm for the entire '96 campaign. They have not done altogether badly, but have had just enough slip ups to knock themselves out of the conference and playoff hunt. Against Wake the Mountaineers led much of the way and played well, but a few mistakes in the form of turnovers, and wrong decsisions ended up putting the Mountaineers on the short end of the stick when the clock read zero, losing to the Demon Deacons by the score of 19-13. As for the season, it's late in the fourth quarter, with the home team down by 10. It seems unlikely that the Apps will force overtime, but you never know. Stranger things have happened than a 7-4 team making the playoffs. Chattanooga's Iva English leads NCAA Divison I goalkeepers in saves with 257. Mountaineer goalie Kelly Guinn is ranked eighth in the nation in saves with 160. 'Tennessee-Chattanooga is not going to be a pushover," said Davis. 'They have had a difficult year, like we have, and they are going to be looking to make some noise this weekend. It is tough to beat a team three times in one season, but hopefully our players can rise to the occasion and finish up on a positive note." The Lady Apps' are searching for their first victory in tournament play. Last sea­ son, Furman sent the Mountaineers home with a 4-1 loss in first round action. The winner of the Mountaineers-Mocs contest faces tournament host, Davidson, Satinday at noon. "Right now I think we are playing well despite losses," said Davis. We have some injuries that are going to limit us a bit, but I think it will be a great way for our younger players to gain some valuable experience."

Orchestral Parts Donated Hans Schwieger, a Germanborn musician who organized and con­ ducted the Fort Wayne Philharmonic Orchestra and established the Southern Symphony Orchestra in Columbia, S.C., recently donated orchestral parts to more than 30 compositions to the ASU's School of Music. Music school officials consider the gift a "first installment," as Schwieger says he plans to eventually donate his entire collection of scores and books to the music school. "Some of these can't be pur­ chased anymore," Art Unsworth, dean of the School of Music said of the or­ chestral compositions. "Others could cost as much as $150 each if purchased." The collection includes works by Bruckner, Beethoven, Brahams, Dvorak and others. It is currently being inventoried and will be filled in the music school's instrumental ensemble library. In addition to saving the school from having to purchase certain scores, Unsworth said Schwieger's collection of conductor's scores will offer additional benefits to students. Some scores are autographed by composers or conduc­ tors and include Schwieger's conduct­ ing notes. The notations can be used by conducting students to learn how Schwieger interpreted a musical piece and the conducting techniques used to impart that interpretation to his orches­ tra members.

Richard Petty, the man pro­ claimed by his peers and fans as 'The King of NASCAR racing," is running for Sec­ retary of State in North Carolina. Although many people may have thought that the scene was nothing more than a celebrity autograph session, it was in fact a political rally. By the time that Bob Holton, chairman of the Watuaga County Republican Party, had a chance to announce Petty a crowd was already Darin Glass Monday-Friday 9 a.m-5 p.m. - •• ^ : • • - Vanessa Urrtiela Sditor-in-Chief: 262-6149 News and Sports 262-6233 Features and Opinion: 262-3104 Business Office: 262-2157 packed throughout the GOP headquarters. Holton painted the picture of the candidate Richard Petty and not the race car driver, citing Petty's 16 years as Randolph County Commissioner. Petty then verbally attacked his opponent, Elaine Marshall, and her claims that he was not taking this campaign or the job seriously. "I don't think that (Marshall) can match the experience I have in business, in politics, or in public relations," said Petty. "I'm not going to be sitting in an office, I'm going out and getting things done," said Petty. Petty also spoke on topics such as see Petty page 2 The march ended at Whitener Hall, where participants moved indoors to hear the community speak out against the act of rape. The room where the speak-out was held, designed to hold a maximum of 400 people, overflowed with spectators A member of the Kappa Alpha fra­ ternity said to the crowd that he was "pro­ active" against rape. A young woman claims she "...was gang raped at a KA fra­ ternity party at (the University of North) Carolina." After her statement, she hugged Do you feel like the world and gov­ ernment is getting you down? Well, get in touch with your natural side and check into the Natural Law Party.

"If you want a better government, you must tap into the human potential," said Victor Pardo, candidate for U.S. Sen­ ate. Victor Pardo and Craig Berg, can­ didate for U.S. House, spoke at a rally held on Oct. 30 in Plemmons Student Union. They answered questions about their party and what they stand for. "We know that it will take some time for people to realize what we are about. If we don't make a change soon, we will run out of time," said Berg of the problems in government.

"As a woman, 1 have a fear of the night and a fear of being alone," Mullins said. "What can we do to end this fear? I cannot give you an answer." A faculty member started the chant, "Break the silence! Stop the vio­ lence!" A 19 year-old Appalachian State University student was stabbed twice dur­ ing an attempted robbery Thursday night. Christopher Michael Charboneau was attacked in the alley between Hoey and Doughton residence halls around 11:30 pm. University Police Officer Patty Elkins said that when Charboneau was con­ fronted, a struggle ensued resulting in two stab wounds to Charboneau's leg. Elkins said that Charboneau is in good condition. Charboneau described his attacker as a white male dressed in black wearing black face paint. No arrests have been made. Thomas Stratton, a freshman and a Hoey Hall resident, said the campus at­ mosphere "...makes you think you're safe, when you're really not." "A lot of the guys still don't really woriy about things like that. It's the girls who are freaking out," said freshman Grant Dula who also lives in Hoey. Applications are now being ac­ cepted for three positions on the 1996-97 Student Government Association elections committee. According to Caroline Bumgarner, SGA rules committee chair­ person, the primary duty of the commit­ tee is to oversee the SGA presidential and vice-presidential elections which will take place next semester. Bumgarner said that in past elec­ tions, SGA has had some problems with candidates who do not comply with elec­ tion rules, and that the elections commit­ tee reviews such infractions. "The committee is also respon­ sible for planning debates between the candidates, making and counting ballots and publicizing the election," Bumgarner said. "Basically, the committee is there for the candidates," said Bumgarner. She said committee members do not have to be involved with SGA in order to work on the elections committee. While she has received applications from SGA senators, Bumgarner said that she "...would like to have applicants from outside SGA as well." "(We're looking) for someone who wants to do the work," she said. "(This com­ mittee) takes up a lot of time. We'd like (to have) someone who is unbiased and who won't have friends in the election, or who can separate his or her friends from the election." If more than three applications are received for the committee it is likely that prospective members will be interviewed as part of the selection process, she said. Bumgarner said the committee must be established before the final SGA meeting of the fall semester. Applications will be accepted through Nov. 8 in the SGA office on the second floor of the Student Union. �P.

Austin Adams of Char­ lotte, Gen. William W. Hartzog of Norfolk, Va. and Sam Moir of Salisbury were recognozed for their outstanding career accom­ plishments and presented with the 1996 Distinguished Alumni Award. Adams is executive vice president of First Union Bank, the sixth largest banking company in the nation. He graduated from the university with a bachelor's degree in 1965 and a master's degree in 1966. Adams said the education he received at Appalachian, "...en­ abled me to take mediocre leader­ ship skills and develop in an environmnet I'm sure I couldn't have developed anywhere else." In May 1994, Adams led the largest systems conversion in U.S. banking history with the merger of First Union and First Fidelity Bancorporation. The con­ version involved more than five million customer accounts. Since 1985, First Union has executed an average of one acquisition every 54 days. Hartzog, who graduated in 1974 with a master's degree in psychology, is one of only 12 ac­ tive four-star generals in the U.S. Army. "I was looking for the op­ portunity to interact with students and faculty, and I found a warmth and quality here (at Appalachian) that I haven't found anywhere else," said Hartzog. Hartzog has received the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, the Army Distinguished Service Medal, a Legion of Merit award, a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. Moir won 58 percent of the games he coached at Catawba College, ranking him 14th in the nation all-time in victories among small college coaches. He led Catawba to the NAIA National Tournament in 1982 and 1983. "I owe a lot to Appala­ chian," he said. "Without this uni­ versity, I'd probably be a farmer in Stokes County," said Moir. Moir played professional baseball in the New York Yankee farm system in the early 1950s and has a winter basketball tourna­ ment named in his honor. The coach is also a member of the Catawba College Sports Hall of Fame. Stabbing from page 1 Pett/ from page 1 Dula said that the attack has been a frequent topic of con­ versation among Hoey residents. The violent nature of this robbery attempt has caused heightened concern for the safety of all Appalachian students. The Department of Housing and Resi­ dence Life issued a warning to stu­ dents Friday after the attack. Police are urging students to avoid walking alone at night and to be especially aware of sus­ picious individuals. Officials in the Depart­ ment of Housing are requesting that anyone with information about this attack contact the Uni­ versity Police at 262-2150. the student loan issue. "I come from the old school," said Petty. "I paid for my kids to go to college." Petty campaign co-chairman Bill Cobey emphasized Pettis plans to modernize the office, bringing in computers and other technologies to "speed up response to business and the people." Petty is known for a "quality job (done) quickly," said Cobey. He also said that this would be the case if Petty takes office. "He's a proven winner and a proven leader," said Mike Hagerty, president of the Appala­ chian State University chapter of the Young Republicans. "I don't think he's ever been in a race that he didn't take seriously." Natural from page 1 young people because they are the key in determining what happens in the future.

This is achieved through structured medi­ tation tactics. They plan to have 7,000 Yogic Flyers to provide a powerful infuence of harmony throughout the country.

We believe that Bill Clinton is the best candite for president as he is pro-choice, supports tax eaks for families with college students, has made :orts to improve the Federal Financial Aid Program d believes in community service programs like nericorps. Clinton is definitely the popular candidate due his skill at public speaking and down-home apal. However, we don't support him for his image, idier, we do so because of his stance on the above ;ues. Clinton realizes that pro-choice doesn't mean o-abortion. He has decidedly kept the govern»nt away from Roe-vs-Wade and has pledged to ep abortion safe and legal. We think that this is ;portant as every woman should have the right to oose what to do with her body. Clinton's tax break idea is a good one. If he is -elected, the future of financial aid will be se­ re. What this nation needs is for future genera>ns to be able to go to college without tremendous onomic hardship.

The whole purpose of e program, taking the youth of the nation and lping them to improve education and the envinment in exchange for a small stipend is an excelit endeavor. Such programs boost the sense of cial responsibility among youth which promises a ighter future. Clinton is definitely in touch with today's nerica. He is an active man who has shown good idership and strong foreign policy. !ecent crimes should ispire cautious behavior Complaining about how ASU Police don't do ough has become a bad habit of many students re at Appalachian. We think it's time for students take responsibility for their own safety. What seems to have shocked many students even light of the "Peeping Tom" in residence hall showand the recent rape, is that a male has become a tim right here on-campus. The crime situation at ASU is definitely less seus than that of bigger schools in urban areas like ICC or NC State. The problem is that we take this granted and forget that it's really up to us to ;p ourselves safe. First of all, it's pretty obvious that you are more sly to be the victim of a crime when your guard is wn. When walking out to your car, don't just hop without looking in the backseat.

Second of all, don't do anything to impair your Igement such as drink alcohol before walking oss campus during the day or at night. It's getting less and less safe here in Boone. We need to step back for a second and really think out what we should do about this. Crime prevenn is the key.

The opinions expresed in The Appalachian are those ^dividual columnists and not necessarily those of The >alachian. Ever since I've been attending this school and writing for The Appalachian, one of the biggest is­ sues on this campus has been the controversy over homosexuality, specifically the paintings for and against it, that seems to pop up every year in the tunnels below Rivers Street. This controversy stems from actions taken by both sides of the debate. Some people in the homosexual community feel it is necessary to have what they call, a National Coming Out Day to tell the world about their sexual preference. Some Christians feel it is necessary that they put up retaliatory messages that condemn these people's actions in the name of their God and tell them they are sinners. My solution to this problem is a simple one; both sides should just shut up and stop painting in the tunnel if no good is going to come of it. Now I know that everyone has the right to free speech in this country, but does that mean we must always use/ abuse that right? I have the right to walk through the middle of Harlem with a sign that says "I hate n " like Bruce Willis in "Die Hard With a Vengeance." Does that mean I should exercise that right? Of course not. I don't know why homosexuals need to have a day when they tell the world of their sexual prefer­ ence. Why don't we just have a television coming out day for guys who secretly watch "Melrose Place" and "Baywatch" but are too afraid to tell anybody? Or how about a day when everybody just declares to all their friends and family whether or not they masturbate? I just don't see the logic in coming out and making declarations to the world for no real rea- iris Kinner iws Editor 'an Price litorials Editor att Russ atures Editor Sports Editor son, and not expecting some reaction. I think even more blame should fall on the Chris­ tians in this debate. These people continually seem to think that they should run this country and that their moral beliefs should be everybody's moral "Why do homosexuals need to have a day when they tell the world of their sexual preference? Why don't we just have a television coming out day for guys who secretly watch 'Melrose Place' but are too afraid to tell anybody?" beliefs. Hello! Remember that little thing called the Con­ stitution that is always being used to shoot down much needed gun control laws? It also says in there that there is no official state religion in the United States, and that no law can be passed that would adopt one. Many Christians seem to forget this and think that Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, atheism, and other viewpoints and moral standards don't count. Roommates! They can make or break your year For those of us poor, lost souls who live on-cam­ pus, roommates are a way of life. Sometimes, they can be a great help; giving advice, notes from a lec­ ture you missed, or letting you use their computer when the lab is full. Sadly enough, roommates that you haven't met before you move in together can be a bit on the an­ noying side, if not altogether psychotic. Gavin Rossdale of Bush said, "It's the little things that kill." If he only knew how right he was. Usually, the person you are thrown together with at least resembles a human being, hopefully a col­ lege student. Your music tastes may be as opposite as country compared to death metal, but you can get along. The first big thing that roommates have to de­ cide on is room space. Who gets which bed, who gets which drawers, closets, and so forth. Decisions like this pale in comparison if you and your new roomy are on different time schedules. Scenario 1: You tend to wake up late (or as late as possible with your neighbor's music blasting your eyes open) and turn in late. On the other hand, your roommate likes to get up at 5:30 a.m. to go jog or some other godforsaken activity that takes too much coordination at that time of day. Matt Bielejeski Columnist Due to their rising this early, they need their Z's. Incidentally, when you bump into your door at 3 a.m., he is sound asleep. You planned to be quiet as a mouse, but the minute you turn the key in the door, a blazing shaft of light from the hall pierces his eyelids, momen­ tarily waking him enough to mutter, "Close the @&$% door!" and then fall back to sleep. Scenario 2: It's 5 a.m., and you are sleeping like a baby. You are suddenly awakened by the sliding of a closet door and the gushing sound of water run­ ning down the sink. You try and try, but you just can't fall back asleep. Doomed to a day of falling asleep in class, you stare at the ceiling for four hours, wondering where your Smith and Wesson is. As far as 1 can see, conflicting time schedules are the biggest problem. Of course, having a roomy who continuously spits his tobacco juice in a paper cup that he hasn't emptied since the beginning of the semester is a close second. Un-hygienic roommates tend to drive students up the wall. Hygiene is a very personal aspect of someone's life. You expect to be able to use the sink in your room (if you are lucky enough to have one) to brush your teeth without incident. Confucius once said, "Wise man check water flow down drain before brushing." Obviously you are not Confucius. The drain has been clogged up by him dumping the ashes from some illegal substance down the drain. Instant clog, instant pool of used tooth­ brush water. Where's the Draino? There is a cure to all the roommate woes, how­ ever. Room changes can be made for next semester. But if you do, do it quickly, because time is running out. I'm not sure exactly how to do it, but either Residence Life or Housing has a lot more info than I do. You could, however, stick it out with your room­ mate until the end of the second semester. Just don't come crying to me when your roommate decides to have an indoor sumo mud-wrestling tournament when your 25-page paper is due the next day.

Vanessa Urruela Editor-in-Chief inee Cagle anaging Editor My Turn by Mike Daniels Did you know that in 21 states, homosexual oral sex is illegal and in 14 states (including this one), and even heterosexual oral sex is illegal? These laws were most likely written by a bunch of conservative old Christian men who thought that it was their moral obligation to enforce the standards set forth by their Bible. It's too bad there isn't an amendment in the Con­ stitution banning laws such as these, because they have no place in this country. One belief that I hold firm to is that every person has the right to do with their own body as they please. If some guy wants to smoke eight joints, snort some coke, and then have sex with another man, nobody, not I, the government, religious fanatics or anybody else, has the right to stop him. And we shouldn't expect him to listen to laws that says he can't do that, if that does not fit his set of moral beliefs that are the ultimate gov1 emment of his own body and who­ ever consents to have sexual inter­ course with him. Now I'm not saying that Christians don't have the right to their views, because they do. It's just when they try to impose and enforce them on others that I have a problem. I think that maybe instead of bashing gays for having a coming out day, Christians should simply have one of their own to take pride in their religion and share that pride with other Christians, much like the gay community is doing. After all, Christianity is supposed to be a religion based on love and forgive­ ness to all, and this country is based on the idea of freedom to all.

It can be a time f joy when a senior is prepared to put 16 x 17 years of education behind to move jto the real world. It can also be a real ain. Dan Beard graduated from Appalafiian State last May. But his preparations r»r graduation began in the fall of 1995. To be prepared for his journey into [ie real world, Beard started job hunting i September. His effort to find gainful rnployment continued well into the new ear. When January rolled around, he ,eard someone say that they had already tarted to make hotel reservations for ra graduation. Suddenly the revelation of graduation struck him. "It was a real wake-up call," said Beard. Before someone makes hotel reserva­ tions, he or she must order announce­ ments. A list has to be made of people who the graduate thinks should attend his or her graduation. Beard ordered the small package. It cost between $25 and $30. When he or­ dered the announcements, he also had to order his cap and gown. "I got lucky because a friend of mine had already graduated, so I was able to borrow his gown," Beard said. There are many other factors involved in preparation for the big day. "You become a coordinator," said Angie Coolidge, another Appalachian graduate. "Nobody's going to do it for you." In preparing for graduation, she had to figure out where people would eat, schedule her time so that she could fit ev­ eryone in (not an easy task for someone whose parents are no longer married), and remember to keep her sense of hu­ mor Even if the graduating senior does have the necessary arrangements made, things can still become difficult. When the big weekend comes, things can be­ come disorganized. Faults may be found in the scheduling. Parents may make sug­ gestions beginning with, "Why don't we do this," and, "Maybe it would work bet­ ter if..." Coolidge had an answer "The person graduating has to take charge and say, This is how it is going to be,' or your parents will drive you nuts," she said. She said that people with separated or divorced parents really have to labor. "Making time for both parents can be a real pain," she said. "I had a friend who almost decided to not even walk to avoid having her parents fight over who would get what time of day with her. One would say, 'I want to buy you lunch,' and the other would say, 'No, I want to buy you lunch."" Then comes the presentation of gifts for the graduate, and Beard and Coolidge both agree that the best gift at the end of a senior's college career is money. Beard said, "When you are graduat­ ing from college, you are still just as broke as when you started college." Coolidge said that seniors should, "...pray for money and not some lame gift." Beard said that the money they did receive for graduation was not enjoyed for long. "Ninety percent of my money was spent on setting up my apartment, buying clothes for work, and getting things that you don't really think much about, like dishes and a bed, not to men­ tion deposits." Just getting settled into his new home cost Beard close to $1000. When the Sunday of graduation weekend arrived, Coolidge and Beard were hardly relaxed. Even though the relatives were gone, and they found time for themselves, the realization that they had graduated hit home. To Coolidge, thoughts about parents no longer "bailing you out" and wonder­ ing "...when you are going to see your best friends from college again," are just a couple that run through the graduate's head. Beyd suggests that ASU seniors find out about on-campus programs to help with resumes, on-campus interviewing and cover letters. Controversial drug flick coming to ASU Yoga relieves Stress Jeremy Ball Staff Writer Does it strike anyone as odd that one >f the most controversial films of this year, Trainspotting," which happened to be the hird highest grossing British made film n British history, did not make it to Joone? Could it be that there are those imong us who are still fighting the War or Independence? Or, could it be that heater managers expect moviegoers to >e content with the independence from hought of "Independence Day," as they rollect not only our money at the door, >ut our minds as well? Amy L. McWhirter, a senior from Cingsport, TN and the chairperson of APPS Films, said that one of the goals of rilms is to bring movies to campus which :tudents would not usually get to see uness they traveled to a large city. McWhirter says that the theater man­ agers in Boone know that their audience outside of Appalachian students tends to be conservative, so managers are usually not willing to take a risk on a controver­ sial film like "Trainspotting." That's why APPS Films is bringing the film to Appala­ chian. "Trainspotting" is a British made film about a group of strung-out, Scottish heroin addicts in Edinburgh, Scotland who do everything they can to escape from what society expects of them. So, don't expect Mel Gibson to make any guest appearances. It is set in the modern day underworld of Scotland, where leather has replaced kilts, and rather than seeking indepen­ dence from England, the youth seek inde­ pendence from a two-story house, one dog, one cat, two children, and a future which they feel society has planned for them. "Trainspotting" is controversial be­ cause its goal is not to condemn heroin use or to condemn a life of aimlessness, but to simply portray life as it is for this group of people. The movie's characters show the mis­ ery and depravity of their lives, and at the same time, they give detailed accounts of the ecstasy of the drug rush and their statements against modern society. 'Trainspotting" is a film which was intended to make people think. And now, it's coming to Appalachian's campus. The film is showing Nov. 8-10 at I.G. Greer. On Friday and Saturday, the film will show at 7 p.m. and at 9:30 p.m. On Sunday, it will show at 5 p.m. The cost will be $1. One of the many concerns this film has raised is whether or not it is ethical to make a film which portrays drug use so blatantly, and which some say glamorizes it by failing to condemn it. In Great Britain, it has been a huge marketing device for such products as sneakers. Nancy Reagan definitely would not have used it in her war on drugs. On a campus where drug use is some­ thing we are all forced to think about, this film may raise some interesting questions. Many students find that yoga helps them with their physical injuries.

That figure marked the most rushing yards the Apps have had as team since their second game of the season against Tennessee Tech.

The question here is, who cares, baseball is about over and no one will be subjected to nine or more innings of boredom. It is time for the real sports to take over. College football, professional football, professional basketball, and as of 12:00 a.m. Tuesday Oct. 15, col­ lege basketball, are all underway. That's right, the real sports are back. I know a lot of you are saying what about hockey. What about it? It's played by grown men on skates on frozen water. Gimme a break. I will be the first to tell you, if hockey didn't have any fights, it would be baseball on ice, which it basically is. Now back to the real sports. Col­ lege sports have names such as Man­ ning, Johnson, Dunn, and a host of others, providing excitement minute by minute. These are just three names that could receive the Heisman at the end of the year. Why are thousands of fans, including myself, so excited by college football? Let me tell you why. First of all, they are not "paid". Sure they get scholarships, but they bring in a lot more money than their scholarships cost. Second, they play with more emotion than profession­ als. They are a lot more exciting to watch because of these raw emotional outbursts. Third, they actually get dirty. I mean they get chunks of dirt stuck in their face mask, dirt on their jersey's, and basically din everywhere. A lot of teams, including ASU, are playing on the worst invention of all-time, ar­ tificial turf, needless to say, a majority of teams still play on good old natural grass. Anybody who has ever played a football game on grass that is wet or damp knows what it was like to play football in the full glory of the sport. I COULDA BEEN A CONTENDER: This past Friday, the Appalachian State Women's Volleyball Team went back in action against Davidson Uni­ versity. The Lady Mountaineers were able to improve their record to a 6-3 in the conference with an impressive 3-1 over the visiting Bobcats. In the first game of the match, Ap­ palachian swamped the 'Cats with a 158 win. They then carried that momen­ tum into the second game to rack up an easy win by the score of 15-5. In the third game, the women from Davidson found some new life, taking a tight game 15-11. The party did not last long, how­ ever, as the Mountaineers destroyed the hopes of a Bobcat comeback, send­ ing them a home with a 15-5 pound­ ing in the fourth game. A huge effort was put forth by Appalachian's Cindy Kolomechuk. The junior had 51 sets on the match and a .300 hitting average. Also coming up with a big match were Paula Levay, with a team leading .370 hitting aver­ age, and Jennifer Rumfeldt with a .368 hitting average and 13 digs. The Apps put in an impressive team effort with a .276 team hitting average versus the .122 average of the Bobcats. The Mountaineers also got the job done on the defensive side of the net with 82 digs to 61 on the part of Davidson. After finishing up a quick home stop Sunday against Marshall, the Mountaineers will get ready for a three game road trip that will take them to Western Carolina, Georgia State, and UTC. Your probably thinking I sound like Al Bundy reliving his famous four touchdown game in high school. Well, I am kind of a high school college hopeful who's dreams were cut short by some injury. That's besides the point. The point is I am still a big fan of college football. I mean there is nothing like being with a lot of your drunken friends, yelling your brains out for your team. Laughing at the other team's stupid looking dog, frog, turkey, fish, or whatever their mascot is supposed to be. Plus, the fact that the other team's cheerleaders always look dumber from across the field al­ ways supplies a good chuckle or two. College football is nothing sort of a spectacle of college students, both new and old, letting out a week's worth of stress, tension, and frustra­ tion. It's almost like every time Dex­ ter Coakley levels an opposing quar­ terback, he is actually leveling that teacher who's exam you just failed. For teachers and former students, the quarterback is your boss or that pesky student who always has something to say. Yet, his answer has nothing to do with the question asked. FORMAL BUT FUN: Professional football is fun to watch. I have never been to a profes­ sional game, but it looks like a lot of fun. I can watch it on television and get into it, but sometimes it seems to formal. I mean you see every play a million times on instant replay. For goodness sakes, they have to keep their shirts tucked in during the en­ tire game. Luckily, John Madden's commentary makes it fun to watch. Especially when he draws all over the See Newtand page 8 �The Appalachian 5 November IS Women's soccer finishes on a losing no Newfand continued from page 7 screen trying to show you how a par­ ticular play was ran. The thing I like best about profes­ sional football is the personalities of the players. You have your gentlemen like Steve Young, Emmitt Smith, Dan Marino and others. Then you have my favorites, Brian Cox and Kevin Greene. Cox is not muscular, not fast, does not have a huge vertical leap nor does he have a bit of sympathy for opposing players. What he does have is a big outspoken mouth. That's why I like Mr Cox. Greene is another outspoken player that struts like Ric Flair after sacking an opposing quarterback. Maybe one day hell slap Flair's trademark figurefour leglock on an opposing quarter­ back. Hey, it could happen. RETURN OF THE CRAZIES College basketball is back minus a few superstars. That's OK, there are plenty more to take their places. Col­ lege basketball is great for several rea­ sons. Reason number ohe, the Cameroon Crazies. You have to love the fan support they give the Devils. Reason number two, my team (the Michigan Wolverines) have the next Charles Barkley in Robert Traylor. Rea­ son number three, Temple Owls coach John Chaney does not have John Calipari to go after this year. Chaney actually looks like an owl when he gets excited and his eyes start popping out of his head*' Reason number four, Tim Duncan is back to reign quiet terror on opposing teams. NOTHING BUT ACTION Finally professional basketball is back. Charles Barkley is a Rocket Allan Houston, Chris Childs, and Larry Johnson are New York Knicks. Kobe Bryant and Shaq are Lakers. Vlade Divac and Anthony Mason are Hornets. Juwan Howard and Chris Webber are back together again for the Washing­ ton Bullets or Wizards or whatever they are going to call themselves. Michael Jordan got 25 million to play one sea­ son. What does all this mean, nothing. The Bulls are going to win another championship ring. That is OK though, Shaq is going to be a poor free throw shooter again. Dennis Rodman is going to average a million rebounds per game. Patrick Ewing still won't win a championship. The Clippers will still be the Clippers. The second year expansion teams will look like, second year expansion teams. But, it will be sooo fun to watch. Dunks, three-point shots, hooks, fade­ aways and the whole nine yards. Ex­ citement is in the air. I see the real race for supreme glory happening between Sir Charles and Rodman for who will get the most ejection's over the season. With the baseball season ending, the college and professional big dogs, of football and basketball will more than make up for the long boring three plus hours grind that was pro baseball. Kathy Beam Staff Writer The Appalachian State Women's Soc­ cer Team had a bad weekend on the road, dropping two matches to Wofford and Georgia Southern to finish up their regu­ lar season. Friday, the Apps traveled to Statesboro, Ga. to take on the Eagles of Georgia Southern. Appalachian started off the game right with an early goal by freshman Ashton Robinson assisted by junior Farrell O'Quinn. But Georgia Southern responded in force with two goals in the first half and two more in the second, to win 4-1. Geor­ gia Southern had 20 shots as opposed to Appalachian's nine. Senior Kelley Guinn, the Mountaineer goalie, had eight saves. On Sunday, Appalachian State trav­ eled to Wofford College to face the Terri­ ers. Wofford also came out strong, scor­ ing four goals in the first period to take the lead. Senior Carolyn Mahony and freshman Katie Hand both scored unas­ sisted goals in the second period to brl the score to 4-2. However, it proved tc too little, too late for the Apps, as Wol scored again and went on to win byj score of 5-2.

Although Mocca­ sin quarterback Brian Hampton was able to throw for 260 yards and a touchdown, he was prevented from getting the Mocs into the game. The reason for this was the three interceptions that the Mountain­ eers secondary came up with inside Ap­ palachian territory, two of which were thrown by Hampton. In fact, UTC had two possible touch­ down passes intercepted on the three yard line. One occurred late in the game after the Mountaineers already had the win in hand. The other occurred in the begin­ ning of the third quarter on an option pass from running back Carlos Locklyn that did not fool Appalachian comerback Elando Johnson, who came up with the pick at the three and returned the ball 21 yards. The App defense was able to pressure Hampton all day, sacking him three times and causing him to throw the ball away several others. For the game, Hampton threw the ball 42 times, the same amount of passes as Damon Scott's carries, but was only successful on 19 of those. Ir^ comparison, Appalachian quarter­ back Ipeke Baker had a quiet day, going 10 of 19 for 72 yards but avoiding any sacks or interceptions. Moore said afterwards that Baker was "...not as sharp as he's been" but that "All-in-all, he did pretty well." Now 5-4 overall and 3-5 in the con­ ference, Appalachian will have a week off before returning to action on Nov. 16 at Western Carolina. As for the playoffs, Moore said it is still "an outside shot" but that "It gives us something to hang onto." EXTRA INCOME FOR '96 Earn $500 - $1000 weekly stuffing enve­ lopes.

For example, study in Western Europe, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia will not receive grant support. Students must design their own study programs directly with institutions overseas.

Hayes shook hands with a smile and sat down around mostly Young Re­ publicans and supporters. For about 30 minutes, he entertertained questions along with his wife, Barbara. Hayes did not attack specific things that Governor Jim Hunt has done wrong, instead attacking everything he stands for. "I have sat there and watched for too long," Hayes said. "I felt like some­ times going across the state to grab him by the ears and shake him," Hayes said about how he feels Hunt has done in of­ fice.

(Photo by Richard Thomas) Mentorship stressed Spangler says Bond Referendum important at lecture series Special to The Appalachian Jay Konstantaras Assistant News Editor The values of experience, prac­ tice and judgment were highlighted by Dr. Harry A. Nurkin as he spoke at the Harlan E. Boyles Distinguished CEO Lecture series Monday. Nurkin, who has been presi­ dent and chief executive officer of Carolinas HealthCare System since 1983, addressed businesses and faculty on the value of experience, practice and judgment in the business world. En­ titled "On the Training of Quarterbacks, Pilots, Surgeons and CEOs," he gave examples how these values can be ap­ plied to a wide array of professions, not just business. "Surgeons gain experience, practice and judgment not in medical school, but during their residency," Nurkin said. "Their education provides them with the base knowledge, but they gain their most valuable experi­ ence during their residency." "Airline passengers are more comfortable knowing their pilots have practice, experience and judgment," Nurkin said. "Quarterbacks learn these qualities on the field." "He brought up an interesting point about how much you learn by do­ ing," said senior Darin Griffith of Raleigh who attended the lecture. "It's interesting how education sort of takes a back seat to experience in some professions," said junior Denise Durrell of Asheville. Nurkin also gave examples of three people who learned these quali­ ties, and went on to apply them in other fields. One of his stories was about a quarterback who used the values he learned on the field to become a CEO of his own company Nurkin emphasized that a men­ tor can be extremely helpful in teach­ ing the values needed to succeed in al­ most any career. "None of these indi­ viduals followed a traditional course, they were all discovered by a mentor," he said. Another of his stories involved a surgeon who was encouraged by his mentor to participate in as many sur­ geries as possible and to never stop learning.

The secondary roads our buses travel are not as safe as they should be and have problems with bad weather." Both bond issues have been endorsed by the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce, the Watauga County Board of Commission­ ers and the Watauga Committee of 100, among others. "Passage of both bond referendums is extremely important for Watauga County," said Boone Mayor Velma Burnley. "Passage of the highway bond will speed up the scheduled improvements of second­ ary roads in Watauga County which are already included on the state's transporta­ tion improvement plan, [and],..the state will actually save an estimated $93 million in inflationary costs associated with mate­ rials and labor costs.'

Approval of the School Construction Bond Referendum will make $1.8 billion available for construction and renovation projects across the state. Acceptance of a $950 million high­ way bond referendum will accelerate planned secondary road improvements, intrastate projects and urban loops. Approval of both packages will pro­ vide substantial benefits to Watauga County. The Watauga County school sys­ tem will receive a total of $3,858 million with passage ofthe school bond referen­ dum. A total of $2,615 million would speed up secondary road improvement projects in the county. Watauga County School Board Chairman James Deal is optimistic about the school bond passage. 'The board's top priority is to address the vocational edu­ cation needs at Watauga High school by constructing three new classrooms and renovating the current vocational educa­ tion classrooms.

Hayes was very critical of education and pointed out that North Carolina was 48th in the country in education. He wants to change this embarrassing statistic. "Hunt froze teacher's salaries so they could not get paid for their hard work," Hayes said. He listed performance pay as an alternative for helping teachers get more money. Hayes believes that hard work will qualify teachers for more money. He said he is willing to take away vacant positions to add more money into the economy. He also feels that this will stimulate growth by removing jobs which are not being filled. Hayes hopes that he can get into office and change government for the better. "People want honest government that works for them. Jim Hunt has no truth behind what he is saying," said Hayes. Bonds continued from page 1 sues, particularly the statewide school bond. "Anything which strength­ ens the public schools will eventually strengthen the University," he wrote in a letter to chancellors across the state. The bonds will be financed without a tax increase. Bonds will be repaid from existing state revenue sources. The monies will also be ad­ ministered by the local school districts. "Both the roads bond and school bond are very important to the I whole community as far as economic development," said John Brubaker, . Boone Area Chamber of Commerce president.

Gantt is right for senate As you begin to make your final decision on 0m to vote for on November 5, the editorial staff The Appalachian asks you to consider the followcandidate whom we have chosen to endorse for ate, Harvey Gantt. It seems as though the race college students in is state are really excited about is the senatorial ce. The name Jesse Helms has been associated th many negative things in the media and we uld like to clarify why we support his opponent, rvey Gantt in the upcoming election. As far as most college students are concerned, definitely not popular to vote for Jesse Helms, s ultra-conservative stance on issues like aborn, financial aid and the environment doesn't apal to many of us for blatent reasons. About 90 percent of college students at Appalaian receive some kind of financial aid. This means at the Pell Grant Program is extremely important paying for going to school here for many students ho are eligible for the Grant. A good education is by no means cheap. Most dents' families don't have around four thousand cks sitting around to pay the bills at the beginng of each school year. Students rely on financial d to go to college. Education is our nation's bigst investment. Harvey Gantt supports Pell Grants d Federal Student Loan Legislation. Jesse Helms s voted against it. Gantt supports a $10,000 tax eduction for middle class families with kids in colge. Helms has voted against this idea. Come time to pay for your education next se­ tter, who do you want to represent you in the enate? If you are smart, you'll vote for Harvey antt. He's the one who wants to protect your right ) get the public education you deserve. One issue that's always on the minds of college udents is getting a job. Harvey Gantt realizes that obody can truly live comfortably with a low minitum wage. He supports increasing minimum wage, lany college students like yourself have part time, ninimum wage jobs. Don't you think they deserve be paid well for their time and energy? Harvey Gantt supports the Family and Medical ave Act which allows people to take time off from ork when an immediate relative is seriously ill. lis is an important concept when something hap:ns to someone you love. College students are among the biggest advoites for govermental measures toward environmenprotection. Jesse Helms voted against the Clean ater and Air Acts as well as the reauthorization of e Endangered Species Act. Helms also voted for arcutting in National Forests and Parks. Gantt opposes such disgusting legislation. He pports the Clean Water and Air Acts and the rethorization of the Endangered Special Act. He es about the environment. One other area in which we think Gantt is right health care. Jesse Helms has voted against breast cer research and against funding for rape and mestic violence prevention programs. Gantt suprts breast cancer research being funded through es and governmental fiscal support of rape and mestic violence prevention programs. It is obvious to us which candidate is in tune th today's college students and who supports ces on issues the way we would if we were in ce.

News Bethany Parris Photography Editc John St Features Editc David Wa Chief Copy Editc Leah McCotter Writing Coach "I am as strong as a bull moose and you can use me to the limit." •Theodore Roosevelt Helms cares about our future Senator Jesse Helms versus Democrat Harvey Gantt. Students have been hearing and reading antiJesse and pro-Gantt propaganda here on campus since the beginning of the school year. None of that biased reporting here. Hopefully I can provide some objective information for you un­ decided voters to process. While Helms and Gantt differ on several social issues, the most important to myself (and should be to most people of our generation) is that HarveyGantt is fiscally irresponsible. "So what's wrong with that, as least he's not Jesse Helms?" you might be asking as you get ready to crumple yet another edition of the opinion section into die trash. Well, nothing if you don't plan on living in the United States past the next 15 years. You see, Medi­ care will be bankrupt by the year 2001 and Social Security will be gone by the year 2011 unless there are serious entidement reforms made by Congress and the president. Harvey Gantt's political philosophy clashes with this belief (as well as with Helms'). He is an oldschool liberal who believes that the federal govern­ ment is the cure to all of societies' ills. This is not a question of whether you're a Demo­ crat, Republican, or Libertarian, but is instead some­ thing that could be asked of anyone residing in these United States; do you care about our country's fu­ ture? Our generation needs to drop the traditional squabbling that goes on between "liberals" and "con­ servatives" over who is right and vote for the candi­ date who truly represents our interests for the fu­ ture. It has repeatedly been said in the media that Gantt is the South's bridge to the next millennium. The exact opposite is true. By looking out for our economic interests, Jesse Helms is in fact the one person attempting to do some­ thing positive for our friture. The biggest hurdle facing everyone in this coun­ try, regardless of race, age, sex, sexual orientation, economic class or education level is one issue; the national debt. The Balanced Budget Amendment (BBA), which Campaign '96 Ryan Price Editorial Editor is the simple concept of Congress promising not to spend what they do not have, calls just for that. The BBA is the beginning of the start of the solution to the unfathomable national debt. Here are some interesting figures: • Every man, woman, and child in America owes almost $20,000 right now on the national debt. • According to the Congressional Budget Office's 1996 Report, 17 percent of our annual federal bud­ get (two hundred and forty three billion dollars $243,000,000,000!) goes toward paying off the in­ terest alone on the debt. That is more than what is being spent on Medi­ care, education, and all of law enforcement combined (CBO, 1996 Report). Jesse Helms has been pro­ posing a balanced budget amendment since1974, long before it was politically hip to do so. According to the same CBO report, Medicare will be broke by 2001. Guaranteed. The Republi­ cans wanted to slow (say it, s-l-o-w) growth over the next seven years, not cut. The Republican plan in no way would have solved the impending crisis (it would still go broke by 2006) but it definitely would have bought some time. Characteristically, Jesse Helms was at the front pushing for Medicare reform. There are several myths that have been continu­ ously perpetrated about Helms throughout the me­ dia for years. Here are a few, and some explanations behind them: • MYTH: Jesse Helms is against education. Wrong. Helms believes spending should be up to the states, not the federal government. Federal stu­ dent loans should be'privatized and not bureaucratized. Only 30 percent of the Department of Education's budget actually goes to the states. Let's see, 30 per­ cent divided by 50 states...Next. • MYTH: Jesse Helms is a racist. False. It is true that Helms was against the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Reason? Because every person in America al­ ready has those rights bestowed upon them at birth in that thing, what's it called?.. Oh yeah. The Con­ stitution! • MYTH: Jesse Helms only cares about big busi­ ness. Nope. If Helms only cares about big business, why has he won the National Taxpayer's Association award for being a "Friend of the Taxpayer" (hint: the little guy) every year that he's been in office? Gee, I dunno. If proven fiscal responsibility isn't enough to cast your vote Jesse's way, here's another incentive. The main reason that Helms has been continu­ ously re-elected is due to the simple fact that he takes care of North Carolinians. Helms is respected throughout Congress for his top-notch constituent services. If a citizen has a prob­ lem that can in any way can be solved by utilizing his vast resources, Helms and his staff go out of their way to make sure that person (regardless of any ori­ entation) receives their undivided attention. Jesse Helms has worked diligently to promote the interests of North Carolinian's his whole career, all the while looking out for future generations with his fiscal responsibility. Once you get past some of the hot-button rheto­ ric that Helms occasionally espouses, there is one undeniable fact about his tenure as senator: he is one fine public servant. Despite how you may feel on certain issues, stop and ask yourself what is more important; your dis­ agreement with an extremely competent public ser­ vant on some social issues, or a crippling federal debt that will take generations to correct. It's time to start now. To borrow a phrase from Spike Lee, "Do the right thing." Vote for Jesse Helms on November 5. Your children will thank you in 15 years. Gantt is good for change in NC There are innumerable reasons why, on Novem­ ber 5, you should cast your vote for Harvey Gantt and against Jesse Helms. To simplify the argument, I will give the primary reason, in the words of Helms from the Raleigh News and Observer on July 19,1991, "I'm so old-fashion I believe in horsewhipping." It is time for North Carolina to move forward and pull itself away from Helms, a relic of a bygone era. Helms has become a symbol instead of a sena­ tor, one that represents the ignorance and bigotry that we supposedly eliminated more than 30 years ago. Gantt is the right leader to carry us away from the image Helms has created for our state, as a back­ wards land where people are only as deep as their ethnicity, sex or sexuality. Gantt is much more than a liberal crowbar to be used as an attempt to pry Helms out of office. He is a man of great character that has already proven him­ self as a leader during his term as mayor of Char­ lotte. Unlike Helms, Gantt has not lost touch with the average North Carolinian. How can Helms know how the people of this state feel while sitting in his house in Virginia? Gantt has not spent decades locked inside the halls of Congress, he has spent decades in Charlotte building a successful architecture firm. Gantt grew up in government housing in Charleston and gradu­ ally moved up in society through education and posi­ tive values taught to him by his parents. He has not forgotten his roots, or the struggle of the working class family. Campaign '96 Josh Hedrick Columnist To me, the deciding issue in this election is edu­ cation and the candidates differing views of the fu­ ture of education. Even though I will readily acknowl­ edge that the public education system in the United States needs to be re­ vamped, I know that the answer is not privatization. Helms has been perpetually opposed to increased fund­ ing in education. He does not see the dire need for programs like Headstart that are truly making a dif­ ference for multitudes of Americans. He can see the need for increased military spending, but not the need for up-to-date textbooks in our schools. Gantt understands the need to move forward and not backwards when it comes to educating the young people in America. To compete in the international market of tomorrow, we must start today, educating young people by the same standards used by other countries. To make a complex statement simple; Helms is a TT " Letters to the Editor V t Ad selection troubling Letter to the Editor, In the Tuesday, October 1 5th issue of The Ap­ palachian, an advertisement sponsored by "Independant (sic) Students For Christianity" was printed in the middle of page nine. The ad de­ nounced homosexuality as a "forbidden" way of life thaf'lturnsl against God's natural plan" and those who choose such a lifestyle will he "full of every kind of wickedness and sin, of greed and hate, envy, murder, fighting, lying, bitterness and gossip." This material is extremely offensive to me, and, I am sure, a large portion of your readers. Would you print an ad that reads, Those of a differenl skin color, religious belief, or economic sta­ tus, etc. are living a 'forbidden' way of life." or that any single group should be iated to be filled with wickedness, hate, murder, and bitterness?" I sin­ cerely hope not. Such an ad is an insult to anyone that believes that the power of understanding the differences among us is far stronger than hate. Run­ ning an ad this distasteful shows a complete lack of consideration and compassion for the struggles that are endured daily by anyone that is a member of a misunderstood group. In addition, it is an impor­ tant editorial responsibility to attempt to keep the pages of the media free from the ignorance and ha­ ] tred that, sadly, plague both our university's campus and our society. I do not deny the rights of anyone to express their opinion on any matter. This is not a censorship issue. Items of simple, unadulterated hatred, directed at homosexuals, blacks, whites, Christians, or any­ one, should not be printed in an advertisement of a publicly funded newspaper. Such opinions should ad­ dressed to the editor for publication on the editorial page, not in advertising, space purchased for a small fee. Sincerely, John Morehouse, ASU Box 5618 Illegal parking a hazard Letter to the Editor, I would like to bring to light some of the atrocities committed by the Appalachian State University Po­ lice. On the night of Friday, the 25th of October, there was an unusually large number of illegally parked cars along Locust Street; particularly in front of East Residence Hall. Drivers at Appalachian State should be intelli­ gent enough to comprehend the meaning of a sign which reads: "No Parking at Any Time." Failing this, bigot. Helms once said, "1 think busing is the worst tyranny ever perpetrated on America" (Raleigh News and Observer June 17,1981). His reason for oppos­ ing the selection of Roberta Achtenberg as the assis­ tant secretary of HUDD was simply, "Because she's a damn lesbian" (Raleigh News and Observer May 8,1993). These are not statements made by a man that feels all people were created equal in the eyes of God. These were statements made by a man who feels that white, straight men were created superior to all oth­ ers. This was an unacceptable attitude in 1966, and it is an unacceptable attitude in 1996. He tries to hide his racism in the coat tails of Christianity, say­ ing that God looks down upon all people unlike Helms. This is not the same God taught to me. In one campaign ad, Helms accuses Gantt of us­ ing his race to his advantage. Where I am from in North Carolina, Gantt's race is nothing but a disad­ vantage. This is an example of the ignorance that we must eradicate. One thing that appeals to many is that you al­ ways know where Helms stands, and that you don't have to guess which way he will vote on an issue. His views have not changed since he was elected in the 70's. He has never wavered from his personal platform that he was elected on 24 years ago. This is the very reason I could never vote for him. North Carolina has changed alongside of America. There is a chock, though, beneath the wheels of our progression. It prevents us from moving away from our hatred-stained past. The chock is Jesse Helms, and the only way to cpmove it is to vote for Harvey Gantt on November 5. the newly painted yellow lines along Locust Street should visually emphasize the dangers of parking here. With cars lined up along the East Residence Hall side of the street, an entire lane is blocked. I drive a delivery truck for Appalachian State Uni­ versity Fbod Services each Friday night. My rounds necessitate traveling up and down Locust Street sev­ eral times each hour, thus I feel qualified in making this complaint. On the particular night in question, I made a call to ASU Security and complained about the unusually large number of illegally parked cars. I was told by an extremely pleasant woman that "someone will look into it." Several hours passed and nothing was done. The parking problem was grow­ ing worse. I complained to my supervisor, again called ASU Security and explained the situation. On my next round I was forced to park on the sidewalk in front of Lovill Residence Hall. When I returned to the truck I was stopped by two ASU officers who asked if I were the driver of the vehicle. They proceeded to explain how they had received two complaints about the parking problem. They had surveyed the situa­ tion and judged me to be the cause of all the trouble. Satisfied, they drove away. Infuriated, so did I. Since justice is blind, I must now turn to my fellow ASU students. We do not need a parking deck; what we need is a little common sense. The same could be said of the infamous ASU Police. R.

"I was cooking something, and when I was finished I turned off the stove and left it on top. I had walked away when I realized it caught on fire. I'm still not sure it was a ghost, though, it could have been a freak thing with the stove." Skepticism is expected from those who are hestitant to believe in an un­ earthly presence. Others like, Laurie D. Troutman, aren't. "I believe in ghosts. I was raised around the stories," said the senior firmly. "(There are) several rooms you walk in (at East Hall) and it just feels bad." Troutman has resided in East Hall since her Freshman year. One year she resided in room 375. "At first things just happened that you didn't pay much attention to like things being misplaced. Then I would close a window to find it open later on." One weekend, Troutman's roommate went away for the weekend, and her bed was made up completely. Troutman woke up the next morning to find her roommate's bed in total disarray complete with pillows on the floor. "Things happened enough to make me worry," she said. "I watched the closet door open itself and shut itself." What seems even stranger is when Troutman met a girl who lived in the same room the year before. "I had never met her before that day. We were talking when we found out we both had stayed in that room. Then out of the blue she said 'Do you have a ghost?"' �Page 8 Pa The Appalachian 31 °«ob( BLURB If you are a book lover or simply a lover of the hobby or activity you enjoy, Classical guitarist comes to Rosen Hall there are a couple of upcoming events you may be interested in. .

VI SI See Soccer page 11. A new champion has been crowned in Major League Baseball, officially sig­ naling the end to the 1996 season. As baseball fans across the country recover from a memorable World Series, on cam­ pus, players and coaches of the Appala­ chian State University Baseball Team are already looking forward to the spring of 1997 with an increased amount of enthu­ siasm. Due to the construction of the Con­ vocation Center, a new baseball field is on the horizon for the Mountaineers which excites those involved with ASU Baseball. But as the boys of spring get ready to embrace their new digs, many other ath­ letic teams and university organizations are scrambling for a new home. Begin­ ning today, we will take a look at all of the groups affected by this move and the impact it will have on ASU Athletics as well as other campus activities. When you visit the Convocation Cen­ ter for the first time a few years down the road, it is important that you understand everything that is being done now to ac­ commodate such a structure. The amount of land needed for the building, coupled with the road improvements that are re­ quired to handle an increase in traffic due to the facility, have caused some head­ aches for university planners. The flood-prone area upon which the giant Convocation Center is planned to sit will of course be the swamp that is now Ed Lackey Field, home of the baseball team. The need for that space has driven the baseball field to Upper Kidd Brewer, an area that is used for a variety of events from athletic practices to student pro­ gramming. With construction already ongoing on both the baseball field and Convocation Center projects, a scarcity of land has arisen. Several athletic teams that de­ pend on the facilities at Upper Kidd Shown is where the new baseball field will be when it is completed this spring. The construction will leave the track team without a field. (Photo by Richard Thomas) Brewer for practice as well as game day fields are now left without a home. One of the sports that is tangled up in the mess is spring track and field. With their state of the art track wrapped around the turf at Kidd Brewer Stadium, the Up­ per Field provided a convenient site for the field events to be held during meets. Without that facility, Head Coach John Weaver says it will greatly effect his squad. "No team will come here for a meet if they have to be bussed off cam­ pus for field events," says Weaver. "Right now, unless we get a new thrower's area ngry Apps looking for win at UTC Danny Sink Staff Writer 25 I-A^t football teams in the country. This does not come as a big surprise to those who have kept up with App foot­ ball this season. Unfortunately, the Moun­ taineers have been playing the part of an average team for a lot of the season, lag­ ging far behind those expectations of "un­ finished business." With this exclamation point on the end of a Marshall loss, it may prove even more difficult to rally the troops around the flag and mount a late season charge into the playoffs. The Apps have an uphill battle from here to the end of the season, being al­ most forced to win every game to even have a remote chance at the playoffs. True, the competition that ASU will be going against is not exactly the cream of the crop in the Southern Conference, but going undefeated for the rest of the season may still prove to be tougher than some people may think. This week's game, for instance, may be a very good test of what the rest of the season will hold for the Mountaineers. The Apps will load up and travel to Chamber­ lain Field to face off against the Univer­ sity of Tennessee-Chattanooga. The Moccasins are coming off a big win at Western Carolina 20-6, tying them for fifth in the conference with ASU at 32. This may serve as an even bigger boost for the UTC players who have to be look­ ing forward to a chance to pay back the Mountaineers for the seven straight losses they have been dealt by Appalachian since 1989. All-time, the Mountaineers boast an 11-8 lead over the Mocs. "Tenn-Chattanooga is coming off an important road victory at Western Caro­ lina," said Mountaineer Head Coach Jerry Moore. 'That gives them some momen­ tum going into our game...and, we have to regroup after a loss (to) Marshall." At this point in the season, it is hard for a team with a losing record to give up anything to another team, and momentum has a way of factoring big in Southern Conference games. One thing that Appalachian has going for them is a new offense. In the losing effort against Marshall the back-up QB turned starter, Bake Baker, came out fir­ ing. Baker showed off his innate ability to get the ball where it needs to go, complet­ ing 21 of his 39 pass attempts, and finish­ ing just two yards shy of 300 for the game. This not only adds a new weapon for the Mountaineers to use against UTC, but it will make it harder for the Moccasins to have accurate scouting reports to prepare for the new air attack. At 3:30 p.m. in Chattanooga, the Mountaineers are going to have a test, a test of mind over matter. "We don't know about playoffs, polls, or anything else...we just have to make sure we play sound, solid, all-out football the remainder of this year, and it starts this week at Chattanooga..." said Moore. If the Apps can stay focused on the job ahead of them, then the Moccasins better watch out. If not, then it could be the end for the Mountaineers. at Upper Kidd Brewer, we won't be able to have track meets here at ASU." Weaver and his program normally hold three to five meets during the course of a season.

Without adequate facilities here, Weaver will be forced to take his show on the road and opponents will have to take their dollars elsewhere. "We would lose not only dual meets, but we would lose our chance to host the conference championships here as well," adds Weaver. "All of the people that would come in for such an event would be spending money in town. Without a thrower's area, we will be forced to travel to all of our meets which will end up costing us much more due to the added travel." With both the thrower's area and the baseball field being gobbled up by the construction of the Convocation Center, the university will replace what they take. That means that Weaver Weaver and the track and field teams will get their thrower's area, but not without headache. Athletic Director Roachel Laney remains hopeful for an early spring completion of the baseball field project, in time for the 1997 season. Whether or not mother nature will cooperate with the con­ struction is another story. If all goes well, the baseball team will begin the season with a new field and Weaver will still have his throw­ ing area in a convenient location. "Some teams aren't as fortunate as we are to have more than one assistant," said Weaver. 'Therefore, it would be hard to go off campus with the throwers when the runners are two miles away. With the thrower's area at Kidd Brewer, it would be easy for a coach to be able to watch both without having to worry aoout teavmg tne immediate area." Even through the track and field teams will eventually come away with a victory, their are still several other teams and groups that are trying to find a place to call home.

A convenient lull in the rain al­ lowed the ceremonies to go off without a hitch during half time. Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski and Vice Chancellor Gregory S. Blimling were on the field along with Student Government Association Presi­ dent Kaye Cranford and Vice President Todd Poole to bestow the honors upon the new king and queen. Covington was crowned Queen and presented with a charm pin and a coupon for 50 percent off the purchase of her college ring. Reuter also received a coupon for his class ring, along with an official scepter. Covington is a senior and is studying hospitality management. She spent the rest of Saturday afternoon with her parents who were visiting from At­ lanta. "I'm just very honored that my friends and the students voted for me," Covington said. This was Melanie's first time running for Homecoming Queen. She was nominated by her sorority Delta Zeta. Reuter is also a senior and is studying history education. He was es­ corted during the ceremony by his mother who had driven up from Charlotte along with his sister. Mason is a member of the fraternity Tau Kappa Epsilon, but was nominated by the sorority Phi Mu. "Thanks to Phi Mu and to all those who voted for me," Reuter said. "I knew I had a lot of friends, I just didn't know I had this many." Mason said he made it a point to remind all of his fraternity brothers to vote for him. His campaign strategy was successful. Christy Barrick, SGA public affairs chairperson said almost twice as many people voted this year than last. Poole said that everyone at SGA was im­ pressed with the turn out to vote this year. The new king and queen spent Saturday evening at an Alumni celebra­ tion at the Broyhill Inn. This event was the only requirement for the new king and queen. Barrick said that although the king and queen have no official du­ ties, they will be given the opportunity to participate in next year's ceremonies and in the Boone Christmas parade.

(Photo by Dana Gardner) Natural Law Party at ASU Panel addresses diversity Pardo to speak at forum Students share experiences Chris Kinner News Editor You might be under the impres­ sion that there are only two candidates for North Carolina's United States Sen­ ate seat. You might want to take a sec­ ond look at the ballot. Wednesday, Oct. 30, Natural Law Party candidate Victor Pardo will answer questions from voters at 2:00 p.m. in the Roan Mountain Room of the Student Union. "The most basic tenet (of our party) is that government can function with the same perfection as natural law," said Pardo. Pardo also said that his party is comprised of a spectrum of conserva­ tives and liberals who bring with them a wide range of innovative political ideas. He said these ideas are essential for the public to hear. The party, which now has 400 candidates on ballots in 45 states, believes in attaining a higher level of human con­ sciousness through a technique called yogic flying. Pardo himself will demonstrate this technique Wednesday. Yogic flying occurs in deep states of meditation and the body may "hop," levitate, or actually fly through the air. The Natural Law Party calls for the estab­ lishment of a group of 7000 yogic flyers to establish social harmony. Pardo said, 'This is a fundamen­ tal way to stimulate natural law for the individual and for society. There is a uni­ versal field that connects us all, and through this group, we can access it and stimulate positivity for all." The party believes that the posi­ tivity and harmony that is created will pro­ duce a healthier, less violent society. Natural Law candidates seek to solve the problems of America with pre­ ventive-oriented measures, such as install­ ing a comprehensive health education in the curriculum of schools. The party would also like to add see Natural page 2 Laurie Lyda Staff Writer The Multicultural Center pre­ sented a student diversity panel Oct. 23 in the Plemmons Student Union Multicultural Center. The panel was composed of mi­ nority students and representatives from organizations such as B-GLAD, Appala­ chian Heritage Council, and the Native American Council. Myra Games, assistant director of African American Student Development, presented the panel with prepared ques­ tions. A question and answer session was held for the audience after each topic's presentation. Topics brought up encompassed a broad range, including Appalachian State University's acceptance level of di­ versity. Erika Heath, a representative for B-GLAD, said she felt the Appalachian/ Boone community is more accepting [than most locales]. One of the main topics of the panel resulted from the question, "How can Ap­ palachian recruit African American stu­ dents and increase the retention rate of those students?" Suggestions included Appalachian students going into the schools and promoting the university, and creat­ ing more financial aid opportunities for minorities. According to panel member Crys­ tal Alford, somehow things have taken a turn [African American enrollment and re­ tention], many [African American stu­ dents] have said once they graduate they'll tell African American students not to come here." This attitude is attributed to many factors, especially Appalachian's lack of an African American Studies program. This lack of a program was also cited as a dis­ couragement for potential African Ameri­ can students. "My feeling is that there isn't an effort on the university's behalf to encour- see Diversity page 2 �Page 2 Natural i obe The Appalachian 29 Oct the teaching of Transcendental Meditation in schools and in prisons nationwide.

The way we run government now, when we rehash old pro­ grams, spend more money, and the pro­ grams still don t work—that's eccentric." Pardo also urged the public to vote their conscience even though third ^ parties generally have little chance of win_ ning in elections for high offices.

During a different event, Chan­ cellor Francis T. Borkowski stated Appa­ lachian is successfully working to diver­ sify its environment. Borkowski said Ap­ palachian now has students from 37 na­ tions. He added, "Our African American enrollment has dropped, but there is tre­ mendous competition." This point was also made at the panel discussion by Barbara Stewart, di­ rector of African American Student Devel­ opment. All schools in N.C. are struggling to recruit qualified African American Stu­ dents, said Stewart. Travel Clinic opens Students welcome minister many of these immunizations.

He said that this number is simply not enough. "The root of the Russian word for teacher is 'to give," Roytman said. "The idea is that I am giving, and I need people who will take [what I give]." According to Roytman, Russian is not an easy language for Americans to learn because it differs greatly from En­ glish. However, he feels that is a student takes one hour each day to "internalize" the language, he or she wilfbave few prob­ lems learning Russian. "There is this fear of Russia [among students] which comes from the era of the Cold War," Roytman said. "This fear is unjustifiable. Students will fall in love with Russian and with Russian cul­ ture if they try it." Roytman said that many career opportunities may stem from a knowledge of the Russian language. This includes opportunities within Russia itself. "Young people, especially Ameri­ cans, can easily make a living [in Russia," Roytman said. "There are opportunities in economics and business." Roytman also said that there is a great demand for English teachers. "Some people will pay a great deal of money to learn English," he said. "Everyone looks up to Americans and wants to speak their language. They need you." Currently there is no Russian major at Appalachian State; only a minor is available to students. But Roytman said that if more students show an interest in taking Russian courses, a major could be Fliers spa curiosity WE WILL NOT Fliers popped up all over Be ward the end of last week promptii students to wonder who was respi Two versions of the fliers were dist all over campus and along King S version, shown to the left was pc addition to another which reads CAN STOP RAPE."

As a matter of fact, the majority of students at See Clinton page 4 w Dole provides leadership we need By now, it is obvious that America is currently engaged in another campaign season. Every time one of these political seasons comes along, our ears are plagued with cam­ paign promises, distortions, and propaganda with the intent of pro­ moting individuals to represent us in all facets of government. Today, I am writing about that very subject, be­ cause I believe that those of us who were born into what is known as "Generation X" have a very importaht responsibility to vote for candidates that will most formidably lead us into the 21st century. We, as America's youth, stand at a very impor­ tant political crossroads. Politicians of the World War II era are now either retiring or are running for pre­ sumably the final time in their political lives. Cer­ tainly, a new political era is emerging, and we must be bold to make the right decisions of American lead­ ership. The president that we elect in just a few short weeks will be the last president elected in the 20th century. Our goal should be to identify the candidate for president that can successfully integrate the values but America is today burdened with a plague of prob­ lems that affects every class, race, and religion. It is Campaign '96 simply time to fix those problems, however serious they may be. Therefore, we must rekindle the sue-* Aaron McKethan cesses of the past, learn from historys mistakes, and Columnist blend hope and optimism for the future. For the past four years, Bill Clinton has occupied the White House in a manner consistent with thd social and ethical demise that America is currently and optimism of the past with the complexities and engaged in.

Therefore, big industrial busi­ nesses will not have to tell us anything about dan­ gerous compounds they release into our environment. Dole also voted to limit the number of endangered species. As you can see the only thing "green" about Dole is money. It is obvious from his environment record that he cares more about the money our planet can make for his friends in industry. Another not so important reason I voted for Clinton is I was born and raised in Arkansas. You know, 'The Land of Rednecks and Moonshine," as the media is so fond of calling it. People who try to use this as a fault need to just stop talking. If you cannot come with a better reason not to vote for Clinton maybe you need to actually do some research about the candidates. I lived in Arkansas the entire time Clinton was f: governor, and I believe the state was better for it. Arkansas is a hard state to run because the people are stubborn about change. While he did make some necessary changes to the education system and the employment rate, he also left well enough alone. He knows the people of Arkansas and governed them well. And for the record, Arkansas is not a state full of rednecks, and I never knew anyone who made moonshine. Bill Clinton is the best choice for president be­ cause he cares about people and not the money they make. He also supports the efforts to help low in­ come families and their children. I believe Clinton really works for everyone in the United States. Bill Clinton is the right choice for our generation and A1 Gore will be the best choice in 2000. But that's another opinion piece.

All of these claims sound neat and make me feel all warm and cozy inside about this president. Un­ fortunately, however, the facts simply do not concur with his rhetoric. America needs a president who is not a talker, but a doer. Bob Dole understands the importance of duty to his country, beginning with his near-death war experiences, to his bi-partisan service in the United States Congress. Likewise, his message to the American people is one of hard work and optimism as a way of lifting America out of the mud that we have placed our­ selves in. Dole not only understands the importance of a sound core of ethics and integrity, he exhibits good character and leadership in his own life. Every senate Democrat interviewed when Bob Dole resigned from the senate, stated that Dole can be trusted and has been trusted during his senate tenure. His political determination illustrates his EVERYONE WILL GIVE YOU THEIR TWO CENTS WORTH, BUT WIJ THAT BE ENOUGH TO RETIRE ON? commitment and willingness. His knowledge and endorsement of lower taxes and a Balanced Budget Amendment illustrate his desire to allow our chil­ dren and grandchildren to live in a nation that is not burdened with excessive debt and economic stagna­ tion associated with congressional big-spenders dur­ ing the last 50 years. Dole believes in sending money and power to individual states, in order that they may more effec­ tively improve education, by empowering teachers and parents to make decisions that will affect their children, instead of Washington's bureaucrats. But, most importantly, Dole lives a life of charac­ ter. Simply put, Dole understands leadership. In the life of Bob Dole, there are no cover-ups and no scan­ dals. There is only a life of dedicated service to America. Generation-X needs Dole in the White House to ensure that the demise of America does not persist into the 21st century. Let us, as members of Generation-X, make a bold choice this November. Don't let images and distor­ tions reign in your life.

During the fall, the green pigment in plants (chlorophyll) degrades. This allows the xanthophyll carotenes (other pigments that chlorophyll dominates in the spring and fall) to show their true colors. When the changes begin to actually occur in leaves is hard to determine. Ac­ cording to Bryan Brown of the Biology Department, "The change varies from year to year. [Chlorophyll] can degrade at any time in October, but exactly when is de­ pendent upon the weather." Brown said that a particularly wet summer can, and will, cause the leaves to change at a different time than a dry sum­ mer. No matter when the leaves decide to change, it certainly makes for beautiful scenery every year. These scenes from around town are testimony to the beauty of the season. (Photos by Richard Thomas) New art director adds spice to Catherine J. Smith Gallery Sara Lewinter Staff Writer With a constant focus on strengthenig the art world, alumnus Hank Foreian directs the Catherine J. Smith Galry. After completing his undergraduate tidies and earning a post secondary art ducation degree at the University of orth Carolina at Charlotte, Foreman creted "a better place for art" in his own ometown. In Belhaven, North Carolina, a town dth approximately 2300 people, he di­ eted a fine arts and crafts gallery called EEii's Little Korners of the World." He ho started the Crab and Fine Arts Festi31, which is now in its fifth year. While going to graduate school at Appalachian State University, Foreman forked as a graduate assistant in the -atherine J. Smith Gallery. He is now Aching a class at Watauga College and PPalachian State, and is the Acting Diect°r of the Catherine J. Smith Gallery. The Catherine J. Smith Gallery is located in Farthing Auditorium. The fa­ cility is two floors, allowing two differ­ ent exhibits to be displayed at the same time. The gal­ lery "is a place where people can visit, enjoy the ex­ hibits, and feel comfortable and welcome," says Foreman. The gallery is already booking shows for the year 2000. The resident sculpturing pro­ gram is in its elev­ enth year, drawing sculptors to Appala­ chian State from across the United States. Foreman "Hank brings to his position a fresh outlook on incor­ porating the visual arts into the cul­ tural scene of both the university and surrounding com­ munity," says Perry Mixter, director of the Office of Cul­ tural Affairs. Last spring, Foreman com­ bined his efforts with artist Liza Smith to create the exhibit entitled, "Ladies and Gen­ der Men." He also curated a show, "Views From Ground Level," which brought na­ tional and interna­ tional attention to Appalachian State. "Do 1 like the artwork or not? When this happens, we miss the opportunity to ponder other more important questions about art - questions such as 'Why is the work important?' 'What does this work mean to me? To the world?' We need to create an environment where people can be exposed to art, and ponder some of these questions for themselves," says Fore­ man. On Nov. 8, national artists will display 56 of their works that are computer based and from digital imaging. "Day of the Dead Alters," a show which honors the dead and celebrates their lives, is on display this week. Differ­ ent organizations and departments of the university are represented in the show. "Hank brings a spirit of positive en­ ergy and enthusiasm for the visual arts which enables him to inspire this same interest and enthusiasm in others," says Mixter. In Foreman's own words, "Don't wait to go to the gallery with your class or the gallery to be an assignment." Take it upon yourself to seize the advantage of a golden opportunity. Beware... the ghost, souls, and goblins are coming Street Sounds fill Farthing tonight Del Holson Staff Writer Halloween is rapidly approaching. It night when all of the evil creatures * the earth to cause mischief and 'hem. It is a holiday that has been orated throughout the years by chil1 and adults alike. Yet, where did the 1 of Halloween originate? The origins of Halloween can be in the ancient Celtic harvest festiwhich is also called the Samhain. The name Halloween comes from Hallows Eve." The holiday was born |e fires of pre-Christian new year's fess and the tradition was continued by le the Celtic people of England, Ireland and Scotland. People believed that the evil spirits of the dead roamed the earth. So to protect themselves they offered treats and dressed up to frighten bad spirits away. Costumes were originally skeletons and ghosts, representing the walking dead. Then witches and goblins became popular costumes when the holiday be­ came influenced by Christianity. By dress­ ing up, people were, in essence, mocking the dead. Other Halloween traditions originated from the Irish. They brought certain tra­ ditions to America, such as bobbing for apples and carving and lighting jack-o'-lan­ terns, in the 1840s. Some colonial families celebrated Hal­ loween with parties where they played games, went on hay-rides and did excit­ ing things like pull taffy. In today's world, Halloween is cel­ ebrated in a different manner. Kids still dress up in costumes and go trick or treat­ ing, but there are many dangers with the holiday. Kids must be aware of people poison­ ing candy and parents have to watch out for vandalism. Smashing pumpkins and egging cars and houses have always been popular with teenagers. Halloween can be a nightmare for some people, but that's the point. So be­ ware on Halloween, because all sorts of crazies could be out there, such as ghosts, ghouls and the people leaving the "Rocky Horror Picture Show." They are all a part of the creatures that inhabit "All Hallow's Eve." Tonight the vocal quintet Street Sounds will fill Farthing Auditorium with some of the finest acappella music in the country. With a ticket price of a mere $5, students really can't afford to miss this outstanding show. The vocal quintet was formed in 1989 by Artistic Director Louise Robinson who also founded a long running vocal group called Sweet Honey In the Rock. They have a self-titled cd out which has many original adaptations of traditional compositions such as, "This Little Light of Mine." Completely original tracks on the disc include, "Change" which was inspired by the Rodney King incident. Street Sounds combines several mu­ sical styles to form an often amazing blend of harmony which carries a mes­ sage of social responsibility and har­ mony. Some of the styles they explore are African chants, jazz, gospel, R&B and rap. On the cd liner notes, it says that Street Sounds, "honors the voice as the first instrument and the breath as the first and last sound we make as human be­ ings." It is evident that they do so in such a way as to use their voices to spread their message of celebration of culture, hon­ oring of ancestors and inspiration to their diverse audiences. This group appeals to many sects of society with their diversity of musical styles and varying social messages. Tickets will be available at the Far­ thing Auditorium Box Office tonight. Doors will open at 7 p.m. For more in­ formation call the Box Office at 262-4046 from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. - Vanessa Urruela, Editor-in-Chief �Page 6 The Appalachian 29 Garden of Sirens on compilation Jeremy Ball Staff Writer A local band may be proving that more than just Boone's weather is similar to Seattle. The alternative sounds of Gar­ den of Sirens, which have become famil­ iar to many area music lovers, have been chosen to appear on a compilation album that will be presented to major record la­ bels all over the country. Rodell Records Inc. is the company compiling the disc, called Sounds from the Underground. This company asks pro­ spective clients to send in tapes, from which they select a small handful of bands to appear on a album that they send to major record labels and investors. Jason K. Ward, a senior from Greens­ boro and the band's drummer, says that they were one of only twenty bands se­ lected to appear on the CD out of 13 thou­ sand applicants. Their selection could be a major boost to their career. Rodell Records has already sent six country artists to the Country Hall of Fame. Although the CD will not be available for sale, the band has an album of its own, "12 Magic Windows", coming out in mid November. It will be for sale at Grapevine Music or through their agent, Kara Nash. Ward says that although the band's music could be described as alternative, most of what they play is original. So, you're not going to hear a rehashing of Green Day. He says that what distin­ guishes them from other rising alterna­ tive bands is that they are "really good". The band recently added a new mem­ ber, Chris Maulden, as their bass player. The other members include Greame Wright and Chad Wilder, who alternate on guitar and vocals. Since the band originally got together in 1995, it has traveled over much of the state. Recently, it appeared at Somewhere Else Tavern in Greensboro, the Democratic Rally at Appalachian and at Pfeiffer Col­ lege. On Nov. 13, it will be in Chapel Hill. Ward says that although they feel re­ ally fortunate to have been surrounded by so many fans and musicians, they have had to travel a lot because "there's just no place to play in Boone". They are doing all they can to appear in the area, though. They will be at the Klondike on Nov. 9 and there will be a CD release party either the last weekend in November or the first weekend in Decem­ ber to celebrate 12 Magic Windows. At either show, Ward says that you can ex­ pect a lot of high energy music. It appears that Garden of Sirens may be one of Boone's most promising bands. Ward says that he is happy with the direc­ tion that the band is going. "We're right where we want to be," he says. "We're not going too fast, but we're not stagnant either". With a new CD and the attention of the country's top record labels, this band is anything but stagnant. r ACROSS 1 Moment. slangily 4 Quick to learn 7 Zealot fortress 13 Pretense 19 Hall and half? 20 Cassidy of •Models Inc." 21 Dumas character 22 Lawrence's locale 23 Robert Donat film 26 Men and women, for instance 27 Actress Weaver 28 Bandleader Brown 29 Cry's partner 30 Sodom escapee 31 Troop grp. 32 Summer hrs. 34 Perk up 36 Initials of interest? 38 Hibiscus garland 40 Tuck!" 43 Commotion 44 Stroke's implement 47 Glenn Ford film 52 Intimate 53 "Go. teamf" 54 Science magazine 1 19 3 Drain problem Jones film 55 Fried in fat 4 Photographer 57 Cnicken little? 07 Cash cache: Diane abbr 59 Alphabet 5 Big business 08 New Haven sequence expense hardwood 61 Emulate 6 Adolescent 09 Affirmative Olivier 7 The Bells of vote 63 Turkey St. —" 10 Scoundrel topping 8 Eyebrow 11 — judicata 64 Compass pt. snape 12 Pays to play 65 Topic for 9 Comic Mort 14 Baseball stat Rachel 10 Depardieu's 16 Small Carson darling enterprise? 67 Sushi 11 Starts to 18 Tai — candidates paint (martial art) 70 "You — My 12 Beast of 21 Palindromic Sunshine" burden cry 72 Yuletide 13 Incredible 22 Presidential purchase 14 Shake­ monogram 73 Sidney spearean 25 Humanitar­ Poitier film sprite ians 77 Voucher 30 Walter Scott 15 Mushroom 81 Gain the part novel prize 16 Director 82 Actress Ward 32 Deborah KenFerrara film 83 Tiffany 34 Tearjerkers? 17 Character in treasure The Aeneid" 35 Giordano 84 "Pocahontas"' 18 Orient opera.

(photo by Robert Parriott) Sports Editor Sports Commentary Did you ever notice that in every sport there are one or two teams whose fans are known as being a particularly apathetic bunch who seem to think of home games as more of a big social event. In baseball it is the Padres and sometimes the Dodgers. In football it is the Miami Dolphins. And in the South­ ern Conference it is Appalachian State. Saturday against the top-ranked team in the country in their biggest game of the seaon (which happened to fall on Homecoming), Mountaineer fans proved this stereotype to be accurate. I, and many other "neutral" observ­ ers watched as a few thousand hardy Marshall fans (who ventured all the way down to Boone from Huntington, W.Va.) outcheered the home crowd of over 20,000 - despite the fact that the Moun­ taineers gave fans plenty to cheer about. The fact is that it seems like no one at this school really cares all that much about Appalachian sports except for the athletes who actually play them. I mean, if Mountaineer fans really cared, would they start heading for the exit in the middle of the third quarter just becuase their team gives up one touchdown? By the start of the fourth quarter, the fans on the home side were leaving in droves while the Marshall fans stayed in their seats and jeered at the fickle App fans. I know, because from my seat in the press box I had a clear view of both exits, and nobody was going out the one on the visitors' side. How do you think the Mountaineers felt as they looked up in the stands for support when they most needed it, only to find that most of the 23,458 people (the fourth largest crowd ever at Kidd Brewer Stadium) who had been there in the beginning of the game were now gone? Even more pathetic were the several Mountaineer fans I talked to later who didn't even bother to attend the game and just stayed home and wathced it on the television. I guess some people can't take a little rain cause they might get all wet. These people are even bigger los­ ers than the ones who left the game early. At least they bothered to show up - you lazy wimps! The fact is that people at this school just don't seem to care about ASU sports the same way fans do at other schools for their teams. Just look at the pathetic attendence numbers for our women's basketball team last year. That team was also nationally ranked, and made the NCAA tournament after winning the Southern Conference, but could not manage to draw more than a couple hundred fans to their games in Varsity Gymnasium. It seems like part of the apathy prob­ lem at this school lies in the fact that sports fans who come here seem to alteady have too much attachment to teams like UNC or State or some other college team. There's nothing wrong with that, but once you start going to a school, that should be your number one interest when it comes to college sports. The fact some people actually skipped the biggest Appalachian football game m years against their biggest rival so they could stay home and watch some other game is pathetic. Don't you feel like a loser sitting in your room watching some other team while your own school is wrapped up in a hell of a game against the top team in the nation in Divsion I-AA and in the top ^0 among all Division I teams?

MISSION JAMAICA "If competitive sports build character, it is character fit for a criminal,"said writer G.B. Leonard in1972, disputing the theory that athletics embody moral principles. Leonard might have had football in mind when he penned those words. Football is a game of intelligence. But it's a game of brutality, too.

Gene Washington, the NFL director of football development, has fined dozens of athletes this year for fighting. Thirty-five were punished for their parts in the Pitts­ burgh-Houston brawl this month, with fines totaling $145,000. The Kansas City and Seattle contest Oct. 17 showed fans another exhibition of mindless fighting, and brought better than $70,000 in player penalties. Washington is considering an increase in fighting fines. "There's just more of it [an 'in-yourface' attitude in the NFL] this year," says Washington.

The project, designed to accom­ modate an estimated 300 students, should be completed during the 19992000 school year at an estimated cost of $10 million. Financing will come prima­ rily from room rental fees and parlor fees, which are dues residents will pay to share housing costs. Phase one of the project will in­ clude five structures to be located along the ridge above Kidd Brewer Stadium. Each structure will contain two four-story duplex style apartments to be adjoined by an elevator and living quarters for a residence assistant. Each duplex will accommodate between 26 to 36 people, with six rooms on each floor and two persons per bed­ room. The basement will open onto a patio and is planned to accommodate events that special interest groups would normally go off campus to rent space for. The housing is primarily geared toward providing fraternities and sorori­ ties with on-campus housing, according to Vice Chancellor for Student Develop­ ment Gregory S. Blimling.

"It would be nice to get their is­ sues here [on campus] so that we can better deal with them." According to Assistant Director for Student Involvement and Leadership Jim Street, members of the Greek organi­ zations under his advisement are express­ ing an eager anticipation. "The students are excited about the potential and opportunity this hous­ ing would hold," said Street. "It will fos­ ter a stronger sense of community among such groups." Those duplexes not rented by Greek organizations will be offered to other special interest groups, like French students who live together and speak only French to enhance their studies, accord­ ing to Blimling. "The housing will accommodate people who want to join together for a common purpose," he said. At present there is no final esti­ mate for the housing fee per semester, because it is difficult to determine how costs will fluctuate over the next four years, according to Director of Student Involvment and Leadership Berardino "Dino" Dibernardi. "We don't know how much hous­ ing costs will increase in four years," said Dibernardi. "We are anticipating prices to be competitive with other housing costs on campus." According to Blimling, the project SeeHousing page 3. Guitarists to Perform Harry A.

Volume 71, Number 14 "All the money made will go to the Watauga High Recreational Complex," said Matt Boijes of Kappa Alpha. This will be the first year for the event. The idea got started last spring when Gary Childress, Watauga High School, spoke to IFC on how to get more involved in the community. "This is really good community involvement. We would like to give just a little back," said Matt Godfrey of Sigma Phi Epsilon. Since Watauga High does not have an athletic stadium, this will help in giving them something to cheer about. They are still currently playing all out­ door athletic events at Kidd Brewer Sta­ dium. "Since they have to practice over at the Brendle's fields and other areas, it would be nice to have something to call home," said Godfrey. Dr. Alfred S. Alschuler, professor of counseling and human development, presented the problems of cheating and student dishonesty at Appalachian to mem­ bers of the Student Government Associa­ tion this Tuesday. "People [at Appalachian] don't think cheating is a problem, but it is," Alschuler said. According to Alschuler, a 1993 sur­ vey conducted by a Rutgers University re­ searcher examined the academic integrity of students at several universities, includ­ ing Appalachian State. This survey was conducted to gain data to compare to a similar study conducted in 1962, Alschuler said. As compared to the earlier study, the results of the 1993 survey were, "equal to or 100 to 200% worse than they were 30 years ago," Alschuler said. According to Alschuler, the survey said that one fifth of students questioned had received "unpermitted help" on an as­ signment. In addition, one third had helped someone cheat, plagiarized, or falsified a bibliography; half had used "unfair meth­ ods" to obtain information about test ques­ tions; two thirds had copied another student's test paper, or had worked to­ gether with another student against the wishes of a professor; and three fourths had seen a fellow student cheat on an exam. Alschuler said that he and ViceChancellor for Student Affairs Dr. Gregory S. Blimling further researched this prob­ lem in a 1995 article for College Teaching magazine. In the article, Alschuler and Blimling cited several reasons why college students may opt to cheat. Among these reasons were "supportive norms" ("Every­ one else is doing it"), "benefits" ("It helps me get better grades"), "costs" ("There is little chance of getting caught"), and "in­ dividual factors" (GPA improvement). Alschuler said that only 15 per­ cent of students at ASU consider cheating to be a serious problem. However, "It's not solely, or even primarily the students' re­ sponsibility [to stop cheating]," he said. Alschuler said that some conse­ quences do exist for faculty members who may confront cheaters. Alschuler himself was harassed, threatened, and taken to court by a former student whom he con­ fronted about plagiarizing in a Master's thesis. Alschuler told SGA members that an active participation by the student body is necessary if cheating is to subside. Better benefits? SeeCheatingpage 3 Percent of gross wages employers pay in compulsory contributions for benefits, on average, 1996: �The Appalachian 24 Qctob Drt-nU- Page 2 ACUS money comes back to ASU Jennifer Sharpe Staff Writer ASU students who use the AT&T ACUS telephone system are actually giving money back to the university. Dr. A1 Rapp, associate vice chancellor for Adminis­ tration, said that approximately15 percent of each student's phone bill returns to the university. He said the funds are designated to support changes in Appalachian's telephone system. "The univer­ sity shares that money with the students. Funds have been used for fiber upgrades in residence hall wiring." Dr. Rapp said that recent projects included rewiring in East, Doughton and Coffey Halls. Sophomore Mandy Neal said she uses the ACUS system and does not mind giving money back to the uni­ versity. "It seems good because it helps us to get better service," she said. Dr. Rapp said that many students feel this way. "All our surveys have indicated that stu­ dents are very pleased with the service." In support of the ACUS system, he pointed out that AT&T has been chosen by the entire UNC system, and its rates are extremely competitive . During a meeting with AT&T last week, representatives told Dr. Rapp that ASU stu­ dents are paying between $.13 and $.17 per minute. He said that the ACUS system offers ad­ ditional services to students because it is the sole source for upgrades to Appalachian's telephone system. Dr. Rapp said that it takes a great deal of student telephone calls to fund a rewiring project costing around $100,000. Future plans include using this fund to give each student a personal data port and to upgrade the cable service to provide almost 78 cable channels in every residence hall.

"That's why I'm here," he said, participation by the faculty alone would create an adversarial relationship with Q students.

"We don't want Appalachian to be viewed as an institution known for cheat­ ing," he said. "We want to stop that be­ fore it happens. Our major concern is that ASLTs reputation will be hurt."

Plans for duplex-style apartments located at State Farm parking lot were abandoned due to budget constraints. Since that time, discusions have continued because of the continuing need for housing, "At the beginning of the semes­ ter, we were at 102 percent occupancy," said Blimling. "We have such a demand for housing that we must address that need." Students interested in the hous­ ing project may attend a committee meet­ ing tentatively scheduled for next Tues­ day.

One such service is Mountaineer Escort, which is created in 1982. This group provides safe, relile transportation for ASU students to places both . and off campus. In fact, students can be taken to fl y apartment, house, business or dormitory within Mp Town of Boone limits. The service provides automobile or pedestrian rvice which means that volunteers will either walk ith you or drive you to your choice of destination ithin Town limits. Mountaineer Escort runs on Sundays through mrsdays from 7 p.m. until 1 a.m. Students can :ach the dispatcher at 262-6438 to receive a free Ide. Mountaineer Escort is comprised of volunteers •om various on-campus organizations who give up ieir evenings to help you. Since the service uses only volunteers, it is to lly free to students. No student fees are used to ipport the program. The vans used are borrowed om the university at no cost to riders. Mountaineer Escort also functions in inclement feather, which, as many of you know, occurs quite ften in Boone. The only time the service is inoperble is when roads are impassable or conditions pose threat to the volunteers. According to Jake Parker, SGA director of Moun lineer Escort, relatively few students utilize the pro ram. Currently, Mountaineer Escort is receiving round eight to nine calls per night. In the past they lave received about ten calls each evening. He feels that the service would run more effi lently and smoother if more students use it. If more rudents took advantage of the service, then the hours f operation could be expanded to include Friday and aturday nights. We here at The Appalachian feel that Mountain er Escort is a service which is beneficial and one lat should be utilized more often by students. In a me when public safety is an issue of high priority, it good to have a free, dependable source of transortation during the hours when most crimes occur. H 2 Oi Dem dere hills is whar?

Vanessa Urruela Editor-in-Chief enee Cagle waging Editor hris Kinner Bws Editor yan Price trials Editor Bethany Parrish Photography Editor Buss tures Editor John Starling Features Editor ike Daniels Editor McCotter Siting Coach Rape prevention must begin with society Despite the recent efforts to raise the effective­ ness of the Mountaineer Escort program, campuswide responses to the issues of rape and violence against women are still woefully inadequate and misguided. Aside from the fact that the Escort program has not been active in the past, at the times during which most rapes probably occur (weekends and past 1 a.m.), there are more pressing problems. Attitudes prevail in our society that attach re­ sponsibility for sexual assault not to the perpetrators of these offenses, but to the victims and potential victims of such crimes. One has only to look at re­ cent comments and articles printed in The Appala­ chian to see the truth of this statement. For example, instead of stepping up patrols on campus, or targeting forums and workshops toward men (overwhelmingly the primary assailants in sexual assaults), spokespersons for University Police have generally reduced their suggestions on how to promote campus safety to requests that women sur­ render their freedom of movement to prevent rapes and attacks. Likewise, some of the catch phrases that com­ monly appear on posters around campus and flow smoothly from the mouths of officials closely re­ semble platitudes such as, "Be safe-don't walk alone" or "Don't make yourself a statistic." Common to all of these suggestions is that they are imperative state­ ments directed toward women. In fact, as recently as in the October 8 issue of The Appalachian, the same distorted attitudes were espoused freely, even if subconsciously, in an article by Sandra Isley ("Wellness Peer Education Addresses Issues of Rape"). Perhaps it's not surprising that men trained by years of socialization are compelled to redirect re­ sponsibility away from themselves. After all, mem­ bership in a group responsible for various atrocities towards women over the years is not one of the most David Wainer Chief Copy Editor Viewpoint by Steve Peake Columnist comfortable states of being. Still, what's worse is that Isley's article confirms that women, too, often blindly place the bulk of re­ sponsibility for their safety on themselves rather than society at large. For instance, after a reasonable and useful dis­ course on some important questions related to rape, the article unfortunately concludes with nothing more than a list of techniques that women should employ to "protect" themselves from danger. The problem here is not that such suggestions are completely useless and unnecessary, but that they appear in lieu of demands for men to respect women and control themselves. Perhaps it's time for universities to sponsor fo­ rums on the danger signs that precede the impulse to rape in men rather than programs which barrage women with the idea that they must direct all their energies toward avoiding "potential rape situations." Maybe it's time we stop presenting behavioral tips to women to which an "or else" could easily be applied. For example, Isley's article recounts some tips, suggested by women during the Wellness fo­ rum, that could help ensure their safety. One of these is, "Know your own limits and don't go beyond them." With this suggestion, they stop just short of adding, "Or else you'll be at least partially responsible if you are raped." It's time to turn the tables of responsibility and start placing accountability where it belongs. If a man commits rape or a related sexual offense, he should be punished severely. Not only should he be kicked off the football team, expelled from his fraternity, or banned from the Chess Club (after all, rapists don't necessarily fit into stereotypes), he should also be removed from school. Finally, he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. But who are we kidding? None of this can hap­ pen in the current social climate that still views women, at least implicitly, as secondary human be­ ings. As long as boys' clubs, whatever their affilia­ tions, hold the power, men won't be held account­ able for their actions as they should be. And, what's worse, they won't be educated properly about the seriousness of sexual offenses and the necessity of respect for women. So as long as law enforcement officers persist in posing to women routine questions such as "What were you wearing?" during rape investigations, these attitudes will not change. Misogynist attitudes, how­ ever latent or blatant, will continue to thrive and fes­ ter in our social fabric as they have for hundreds of years. Furthermore, even if the Mountaineer Escort pro­ gram does extend its hours to 2 a.m. and remains active during weekends, it will only be a secondary tool in helping to stop sexual assaults. After all, such a well-intentioned program works according to the assumption that women should and must make al­ lowances for their personal freedom to avoid being raped. We must dig deeply into our most ingrained at­ titudes if we want to address the problem of sexual violence toward women in the most thorough way. This is no small order, but if we want to progress as a society, we must be willing to recognize and rectify the problem of cultural bias, if we want to conquer the more visible problem of rape itself.

Strangely, there are no traffic cops around to ameliorate the situation, so you decide to park in a safe spot, with about 20 feet between your narrow spaceship and the curb. Plenty of room, you figure, for two or three primitive earth-vehicles to pass. As you leave your spaceship, you sense that jus­ tice will prevail, and the intruders who do not have proper stickers will be swiftly removed, allowing you to exercise your hundred-dollar right to access the lot you are now crossing. In fact, with your outerworldly perspicacity, you espy a number of officers, hiding in bushes and trees, waiting with pen and citation book, to pounce on the illegally parked vehicles.

Video games aren't fun anymore My Turn by Daniel Bothun Columnist Matt Jones Business Manager Jay Konstantaras Assistant News Editor "What is a communist? One who hath yearnings for equal division of unequal earnings." Ebenezer Elliot The promotions for the new Nintendo 64 ma­ chine compelled me to think about the history of video games. Since most of my classmates during middle school were haughty and supercilious, I was forced to spend my youth with Atari and Nintendo. Some of my childhood friends were Mega-Man, Kan­ garoo, the grossly overweight players from R.B.I. Baseball and the blue dildo from Double Dribble. The appeal of the early video games to many was their simplicity. Now a lot of people are being driven away by the games' increasing complexity. Most people who played video games during the 80's have played Pac-Man. Pac-Man is one of the most popular video games of all time. It was so suc­ cessful during its heyday, that it even inspired a tele­ vision show. Pac-Man was simple and fun. There were no cheat codes or special moves to memorize. There weren't even any buttons! All the player had to do was move the joystick to guide Pac around the screen. Even Nintendo was a simple system to play. In the old Super Mario games, Mario could pretty much do three things: run, jump, and swim. In Mario 64, Mario can jump in six different ways, slide, crawl, punch, throw, and even break-dance, among other things. All of these new features in Mario 64 make the game too hard to play. One must master most of these moves in order to defeat the game, and some moves are hard to do. In the old days, the cheat codes were easier to remember than they are today. Remember up-up, down-down, left-right, left-right, B-A Start? That cheat code could be used for a slew of games, like Contra and Gradius. Now, cheat codes are different for every game. When putting in a cartridge for my Super Nintendo, I almost always have to look up the cheat codes somewhere. The ultimate examples of how complicated video games have become are Mortal Kombat two and three. In order to play these games, the player must memorize codes for special moves, fatalities, animalities, and friendships for each character. Mortal Kombat two and three are the reasons I rarely go to the arcade anymore. Whenever I play these games in the arcade, some little kid always throws in quarters right when I'm about to do a fa­ tality. This little kid then proceeds to beat the snot, and other fluids, out of my character in about 20 seconds. This hand-eye coordination makes Franz Liszt look like a six-year-old struggling with hot cross buns. I remember when my Dad and I used to play Tetris on the Nintendo. I remember both of us sit­ ting in front of the warm glow of the television screen, playing Tetris to the beat of "The Nutcracker Suite." This game was simple, fun, and something that both of us could play with ease. Today, there is almost no possibility of a father/ son video game experience ever happening. Fathers, who are unfamiliar with video games, couldn't fig­ ure out how to play Crash Bandicoot with their sons. These fathers are then forced to be uninvolved with their son's favorite hobby. The focus of game development these days is toward better technology, not fun. Games today are designed to have more features and better graphics, instead of being simple. If this trend in development continues, the fun of video games will be lost forever. Video game com­ panies will soon regret making games for themselves, and not the customers. �Page 6 The Appalachian 24 Opinion Letters to the Editor Bigots should not remain anonymous To the Editor: I can no longer sit still and allow silence to be my complicity. It saddens my heart to see the iniqui­ tous defacement of the tunnels, which had been painted with pride and good spirits in honor of Na­ tional Coming Qut Day. Once again, faceless cow­ ards felt the need to express their ignorance through hatred. This letter is written to those of you that took part in such a spineless attack against innocent people. How dare you have the audacity to say such draconian things to people? Sure, you have a right to your feeble-minded opinions, but to actually preach aspersions of hate and death to others that you don't know, where do you get that right? Where do you get off standing behind the mask of your angry God in order to express your putrid and baneful thoughts? I might be better able to tolerate your opinions if they were in any way, shape or form based on accu­ rate facts. But they are not; they are nothing more than catchy phrases based on your own erroneous, homophobic thoughts. If you are so adamant of your opinions, why don't you put down your can of spray paint, stand up, and have the nerve to put a face with your malicious words? Or are you too insecure and scared? I can only imagine how easy it is to be so brazen when you stand behind the shield of ano­ nymity. May you all find enough peace and happiness within yourselves to allow others the opportunity to simply live their lives. Rachel E. Bowman ASU Box 13465 Hate grafitti disturbing To the Editor: Has everyone seen the hateful slurs in the tun­ nel under River Street? I suggest you all go take a long look. Take another. What this says about us as an intellectual institution, as a student body, and as individuals is appalling. Perhaps those of you who painted the tunnel thought you were being funny. Or perhaps you supposed you were being good Chris­ tians (the irony there is pitifully evident). Maybe you wanted to exercise your freedom of speech to make a vacuous statement. You sure made a state­ ment all right. You made a statement to your peers, your doctors, your therapists, your siblings, your pro­ fessors, your politicians. In short, you condemned a lot of people you are in contact with everyday. It's easy to do when one can hide behind such anonymity. I will not challenge anyone's freedom of speech. Neither will I allow ignorance to represent me. As a heterosexual woman, I find your opinions fulsome and morally degrading. Indeed, I am ashamed to be affiliated with you because I am straight. If you want to draw ugly lines to divide people between straight and gay, then do not count on my solidarity. In my world, such lines do not exist. Laura Michele Kallus ASU Box 6789 Thft Clinton Administration's War on Drugs- didn't even condemn the people who created the antiday graffiti; he suggested forgiving them because "we are all sinners." I am sick of God as a solution to society's problems. The title of Jeremy's article led me to believe he was going to castigate homophobes and offer a little open-mindedness. I was tricked. His article degenerated into religious dogma that could have easily been lifted from a Billy Graham column. I wish The Appalachian would provide more interesting and diverse viewpoints besides the con­ tinuous stream of jaded religious right opinions. In my opinion, anyone who would hate or not hate someone because of what the Bible says is a fool. The Bible is outdated and continues to warp people's minds. I wish The Appalachian columnists didn't feel the need to push their parents' ethics on the student populace. I disagree with the homophobic graffiti in the tunnel, but my reasons have nothing to do with John 3:16. I wish people would listen to each other and not preach when problems arise. Jeremy says God hates the sin, not the sinner. Using this "logic," God hates the act of rape but not the rapist. Why would anyone want to submit to a God that follows that ideology? Jeremy claims his religion is a "faith built upon an eternal love which conquers death and hatred." I have a question for Jeremy: How many wars has religion started? In the future, I hope The Appala­ chian will refrain from printing slanted articles. Denver Hill ASU Box 8308 Hi- «D non- Muslims who have an interest in Islam and in hearing the word of Allah.

To the Editor: The October 10 ad in The Appalachian support­ ing civil rights for gays and lesbians included as sup­ porters the psychology faculty. I doubt that my col­ league or colleagues who helped pay for the ad in­ tended to incrinjinate the psychology faculty as a whole;- however those reading the ad could easily assume that the total psychology faculty, which con­ sists of almost 30 people, instead of one or any num­ ber less than the total, was supportive of the ad. Please clarify this matter in your next issue. My concern does not mean that I am opposed to legitimate civil rights for anyone. I do believe that in the current politically correct climate, the gay and lesbian awareness movement is demonstrating its intolerance by seeking to intimidate people who do not agree with them as being "uneducated" and "ho­ mophobic" or worse! From my perspective, much of the agenda being pushed by the movement is nei­ ther civil nor is it right. Furthermore, the agenda is not good for Appalachian State Univerisity, for North Carolina, or for the United States; therefore I do not wish to possibly be identified with it. Boyd Mac Dowell Professor of Psychology Ball's references to Bible bad Seeking prayer group interest To the Editor: To the Editor: Jeremy Ball's article in the October 15 issue is sugar-coated swill. I get the feeling he wrote it just to make himself feel better. His only solution to the homophobic graffiti in the tunnel is prayer? Jeremy I regret that I have nothing to complain about. In fact, it is my wish to bring some of us together. I am putting out a call to all fellow brothers and sisters in Islam with hopes of starting a Friday prayer group here at ASU.

As-salaam Rlaikum, Hank T. Foreman Acting Director Catherine J. Smith Gallery Kerry Fowler ASU Box 11022 Art coverage positive Game Day Advice To the Editor: Gay and Lesbian ad misleading War onTobacco... To the Editor: First let me begin this "Letter to the Editor" with a word of thanks and congratulations on your organization's commitment to provide the university and its community with a diversity of articles and features. With my background in the visual arts, I would especially like to commend you on strength­ ening your coverage of the arts. Representative of this effort is your recent article focusing on the "banned" works of local artists Troy Tuttle and Krysti Adams. I am fortunate to have attended this reception, and hold the highest regard for the artists. I found their work both visually exciting and thought pro­ voking. The question of why the works were banned is certainly important, and continuing discussions would provide a multitude of responses with sup­ porting arguments. This is the type of tough ques­ tion that must be faced in today's complex world. Being a visual artist myself, I understand the fear of being censored, and an incomplete vision of my ideas being presented. However, the issue of censorship is not one that I would try and tackle in one letter. The real reason for this letter is to express my support, not only for artists, but for the venues, often community-centered, that provide exhibition opportunities. Over my years in Boone, I have had numerous occasions to deal with Cherry Johnson, Executive Director of the Watauga County Arts Council, her staff, and hard-working volunteers. It is my deep concern that, while we dis­ cuss important issues like this, we do not misrepre­ sent the work of people (like Cherry Johnson, the Arts Council and the Jones House) who have been such strong advocates for the arts in our communi­ ties. These people work quietly, steadily, and often with low or no pay, and are often the only reason many opportunities for artists exist in the commu­ nity. In closing, I extend my sincere interest in this issue to the artists, and my sincere thanks to organi­ zations like the Jones House and Watauga County How would I rank crowd enthusiasm and spirit at Mountaineer football games? A pat out of 10. As an overseas visitor at this uni and a former athlete, I must admit surprise lack of vocal support for the team. It has been my experience that home j advantage translates into a bonus of at least a down a game. Two weeks ago, 300 supporter, Furman outcheered and outgunned the12,000 tators from ASU.

Whether students are doing a nature valk or a moderately strenuous hike, they re showing interest in the old fashioned tress reliever of walking. According to an Outdoor Programs irochure, "replacing the negative feelings >f frustration and disappointment with >ositive feelings," a scenic walk through lutdoor Programs can be an encourag­ ing experience. Freshman Laura E. Alexander says, "It gives me a chance to . nut everything together and back in my head; helps me put my thoughts in or^ ler." ** Hiking trips can be arranged through Outdoor Programs, but they are being jooked up quickly. Hiking is also in the jyllabus of some freshman seminar :lasses. Some of the more popular hik­ ing spots are Howard's Knob, Lost Cove Creek and Beacon Heights. Leaning against the face of a rock and looking for a decent hold make up an­ other common sport amongst students; rock climbing. This sport requires a good sense of balance and flexibility. Outdoor Programs offers basic, intermediate and advanced climbing sessions at places such as Linville Gorge and Houndears. The climb at Houndears is a 70-foot climb and this is just a beginner climb. Every climb is rated on a scale of dif­ ficulty according to the height of the climb. Like most climbs, participants begin by repelling from the top. Someone is at the bottom of the climb, belaying and secur­ ing the rope. "At first, it was scary. I was about to chicken out, but the instructors make you more comfortable with what you're doing and make you feel more confident," says freshman Holly N. Clements. Students make rock climbing a fulltime hobby by investing in several pieces of equipment. With the drive to succeed, a fitted harness and shoes, which are three sizes smaller than an individual's actual shoe size, a student can probably rely on finding a fellow climber with a rope and be on his or her merry way to climbing to heaven. Many students enjoy free climbing, or bouldering, because this type of climb­ ing eliminates the high costs. According to the pamphlet put out by Outdoor Programs, "October brings the colorful array of autumn leaves, and No­ vember brings clear skies and unob­ structed views." So, continue to take advantage of nature's constant adventures of hiking and rock climbing, and take advantage of the opportunities ASU gives students to par­ ticipate in these activities.

Shawn Colvin's new album impressive a few small repairs' shows musical growth and pure talent Vanessa Urruela Editor-in-Chief The first time I heard about Shawn ' vin was in 1994 when VH-1 was play,8 a video for one of her songs on "Fat '% It wasn't in heavy rotation, but all deeded to fall in love with her music as two viewings and one of those goofy, e minute mini-interviews with an over­ used vj. . Colvin's new release, a few small reairs' is indicative of a growth in her l Musical style and a greater sense of re- finement in her lyrics. In the goofy interview I saw two years ago, Colvin was asked why she got into songwriting. She reponded with a laug h and said something to the effect of, "be­ cause I had to." Colvin's music is highly personal, writ­ ten about people she knows and the rela­ tionships she has with them. When you listen to her music you get a sense of fa­ miliarity and relationship with the situa­ tions and characters she writes about. A few small repairs has 12 songs which feature different musical elements that Colvin hadn't really used in her past two releases, Cover Girl and Fat City. The last two albums relied mostly on totally acous­ tic guitar and melody. Her lyrics were original and thought provoking on Fat City but were a little too narrative for my taste. On repairs, Colvin uses more back­ ground vocals, piano and even some elec­ tric guitar. She seems to have finally learned that her voice is her strongest talent as she re­ lies on it much more than her guitar. Songs like, "Sunny came home," and "new thing now" are so vocal that it's hard not to notice that Colvin's voice isn't car­ ried by the music, rather it compliments it. What I have always loved about Colvin, besides her honey-like voice, are her amazing lyrics. She writes from a very feminine point of view, focusing on the female experience in modern times. see Colvin page 8 Students and ACT help NC hurricane victims Ric Beard Reporter Less than two days of seeing Hurri­ cane Fran's devastating effects' ori Surf City, NC was more than enough for Ap­ palachian Sophomore Linda Ngo. Her in­ terest in seeing the damage done by Fran soon gave way to sympathy for the people who lived in the area. "It's heart­ breaking," she said. More than a month after the storm pummeled the coast of North Carolina, people who didn'tlose their homes still had debris scattered all over their yards. Thirty minutes driving time south of Surf City, Appalachian and the Community Together(ACT) was taking action. Act took 10 students to Wilmington, NC to help with the clean-up effort. The site-leaders used chain saws to cut away fallen trees while the students got rid of the debris. Co-leader Elizabeth Eckler said of the students' efforts, "I ican't say enough about the quality of work they did." They continued their work on the UNCWilmington campus on Saturday. But don't get the idea that the trip was all work and no play. The group used their evenings to cook together, go to Fbrt Fisher and see the boardwalk in down­ town Wilmington. 'This group had a great time," Eckler said. Appalachian student John Morehouse agrees with Eckler. "It was a memorable experience," he said. Nicole Cody is another student who was along on the trip. She said of trip organizer and co-leader Peggy Setzer, "She is an incredible lady who really cares about people. She was a real fireball." Other students who went with the Act group were Elizabeth Airail(who also helped to plan the trip and drove), Jonathan Airail, June Busby, Rachel Ferrell, Betsy Mathews, Kirby Moore and Brooke Wilson. Act has now made plans for "Hunger and Homelessness week." They are ask­ ing campus clubs and other organizations to help out by sponsoring events during the week before Thanksgiving. Interested groups can contact Peggy Setzer or Amy Cook at 262-3032. Glimmer Man sparkles and fades Segal no master thespian at best Brooks Small Reporter Although I am not a big Steven Segal fan, I will admit that I derived pleasure from the boost The Glimmer Man gave to my testosterone level. Segal, with his oh-so fashionable ponytail, perpetual scowl and stale dialogue delivery is not exactly a master thespian, but when it comes to fisticuffs with the bad guys he is one bad man. To observe his appeal, one needs only to point out that the theater was full of guys, two of whom kept saying, "I love this guy, he's my man," every time Segal would bloody a new villain. The Glimmer Man begins like a very obvious Seven Rip-off; industrial music, constant rain and clips of the work of a serial killer with a fetish for crucifixion. Segal and his co-star Kenan-Ivory Wayans are thrown together as partners on the case because none of us have seen enough in­ terracial buddy cop movies. Segal plays Jack Cole, a Buddhist, bead-wearing cop with an unknown past who is assigned to work with Wayans on the serial killer case. True to formula, they do not get along at first, but begrudgingly come to respect and like each other. While Cole is in touch with his spiri­ tual side, Wayans' character, Jim Campbell, is a tough guy on the outside who secretly cries at Humphrey Bogart movies. How­ ever, Campbell begins to take on some of Cole's Buddhist practices, like putting dried deer penises under his tongue for his allergic reaction to incense. The serial killer, known as "the fam­ ily man" for his affinity for killing and cru­ cifying entire families, has chosen some interesting victims as of late; Cole's exwife for example. We soon find out that the family man has actually stopped killing and a promi­ nent businessman with ties to the Russian Mafia has been offing people who know too much under the guise of the serial killer. Thi? plot is much more interesting than the one we're introduced to involv­ ing the)real serial killer, who turns out to be played by the same guy that played Ned Ryerson in Groundhog Day. You know, the annoying guy that kept bumping into Bill Murray on the street. Pretty scary, huh? * The plot is not what's important in The Glimmer Man, though, and once you put this aside you'll enjoy it. Besides the action, the movie has the entertaining team of Segal and Wayans going for it, as well as a smattering of humor typical of the genre. Wayans proves to be a very likable action star, although I think he works better as the straight man in com­ edies like I'm Gonna Git You Sucka. The action does go a little far some­ times, like when Wayans gets shot in the See Glimmer on page 8 �Pa; Page 8 The Appalachian 24 Glimmer continued from 7 chest, then dangles from a ledge until Segal repels down the building to save him. But, hey, we're talking about Segal here. The tide, incidentally, comes from the fact that Segal's character used to be a manhunter in Vietnam, and "all you would see is jungle, then just a glimmer of a man, then you would be dead," or something like that.

If your answer to any of these or all of these is yes, then lacrosse is the sport for you and the ASU Lacrosse team is the team for you. Lacrosse is a great concoction of football, soccer, and hockey, and is as ex­ citing as all three combined. For those of you out there who are totally oblivious to the sport of lacrosse, here are some of the basics. The field is aPproximately the size of a football field, features two goals, 10 men per team on field at one time (three attachment, frtee midfielders, three defensemen, and 3ne goalie), and one rubber ball slightly smaller than a baseball. There are two referees and the players wear shoulder, elbow, and rib pads, as well as a helmet while carrying a stick just shorter than a hockey stick with a net structure on its end. One point is given for each goal scored and only attackment and midfielders can score. Finally, there are four 15 minute pe­ riods in the game, and there is no hitting from behind, cross-checking with your stick, or hitting your opponent in the head with your stick. These basic elements pro­ vide for a very exciting game that is not as well known as sports like baseball, bas­ ketball, or football. Lacrosse here at ASU has been a club sport for over seven years, and each year the Mountaineers have improved as more experienced players have joined the ros­ ter. Lacrosse President Dan Stewart states that, "This semester's team is the best team ASU has ever had by far. And when we get some of our key players back, like Jason Hetzel and Steve Kaloor, in the spring, we will have the best attack in the state, bar none." Stewart also stated that the attitude on the team was a much more focused one than in the past, team chemistry was on the rise due to the experienced players making up the core of the team, and the team, "wanted to go out and have a good time, but winning is the main priority." Well, that new focused attitude has resulted in some very big victories in their fall season this year. Their first big victory came against Lees-McCrae, who has a var­ sity lacrosse team instead of a club team. The victory was a convicing one as the Mountaineers outscored Lees-McCrae 133, with a strong effort from Tom Seuss who had seven goals. ASU also beat UNCWesleyan earlier this year in a 9-1 romp as midfielder Dan Stewart led the charge with seven goals as well. Defense was also a vital part of these victories, and ASU has added some size and speed to this area with the addition of both Bryce Blaski and Bradley Hines. The fall season is basically a warmup season for the Mountaineers, and the NCLL (National Collegiate Lacrosse League) games are in the spring. Along with ASU, the league includes North Carolina State, UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke, Wake Forest, East Carolina, and UNC-Charlotte. The lacrosse team would like to see an increase in fan support this spring as they look to have a fairly strong team. They play home games at State Farm, and a schedule will be printed later in the se­ mester for dates and times. I recommend all of you at ASU who like hard-hitting, fast paced action to go and see a game or two. I guarantee that the excitement will keep you coming back and greater attendance will also give the lacrosse team a big lift. Anyone with prior lacrosse experience who is interested in becoming a part of the ASU Lacrosse Team should contact President Dan Stewart at 264-2858 for more information. name in the history books with most con­ secutive games with a touchdown recep­ tion. The bottom line is this is going to be a test for the banged up Appalachain deffense to handle. The most evident of these injuries being to the star linebacker Dexter Coakley listed as probable for the the game on Saturday. Not to be over­ looked, however, is the loss of defensive backs L.G. Goganious and Kenny Byrd who are out for sure and Jon Duncan who is questionable. Add in the doubtful de­ fensive lineman, Jon Fanning, and it is going to make an awfully hard go of it for the Mountaineer Defense. A plus on the side of Appalachian is the return of the senior All-American cen­ ter Scott Kadlub, who started against the Eagles. The six foot, 281 lb. lineman came into the season with only 1.5 sacks allowed in over 2,000 plays; a welcome addition to any offensive line, and a nightmare for most defensive guards. World Series anything but a Fall Classic Kathy Beam Staff Writer sports commentary Is it my imagination or did the New York Yankees go on vacation a little early? Have they realized they are playing in the World Series? Bernie Williams had a batting aver­ age of over .400 in the post season this year coming into the Fall Classic. The Yankees also boast some of the greatest sluggers in the game, like Cecil Fielder and Darryl Strawberry. However; their bats have been silenced as they've been held to one run in the first two games. As an Atlanta Braves fan, I am natu­ rally looking forward to McGriff, Grissom and the rest of the team going all the way again this year. However, I expected more gusto in the Fall Classic. Where are the last minute finishes? Where are the games onlyseparated by one run, just to have someone send the ball to the bleachers? The best World Series' have always come down to a game seven. To get there, the teams have played six gruel­ ing games. These are games where one team barely wins over the other. You can feel the tension in the stadium, even though you are sitting in the comfort of your own home. You sit on the edge of your seat, your eyes glued to the televi­ sion, praying for some sort of miracle that will bring your team to the top. Six games like this work up to the final do or die game, the infamous game seven. Game seven is a suspense filled game tied 1-1 for the majority of it. You hold your breath and wait for the hit that will end it all. The irresolution lasts into 10 innings and is alleviated by a solo home run shot to center field. This Series has no chance for a game seven. It has been a runaway for the Braves so far. The fact that the Yanks were able to pick up a 5-2 win Tuesday night at least adds a little interest back to the series, but even the Yankees have to know that the Braves are merely toy­ ing with them in letting them win one. Atlanta probably decided to throw one or two of the games ahead of time so they could make some more money by laying down a couple of bets. Let's face it. It's not fun to watch one team cream another for four straight nights. Unless you're a zealous Braves fan, it's not going to be interesting. Even if you are, it gets boring after the fourth night. Plus, your friends stop coming over to watch the game with you, citing homework, hair washing, and having a root canal as excuses. Who can really blamdjthem? Tne 1996 World Series looked like it was going to be one of the best ever. The Series was back in the historic Yan­ kee Stadium, "The house that Ruth built." Both the Braves and the Yankees had proved themselves to be the best in baseball, and it was time for them to battle each other. Both teams looked somewhat evenly matched. Each had their great sluggers, great pitchers and great outfielders. However, the Series started and the Yankees disappeared. It seems like they shouldn't have even shown up for the games. It's time for the New York Yankees to wake up and hear the bats breaking. Let's have Fielder, Williams, and Straw­ berry show why they are some of the best players in baseball today. If the Yankees try, they can salvage this series. If not, well, there's always next year. �The Appalachian 24 Octob Page 10 Club Football picks up biggest win of season Guinn is SC player of week Chris Peterson Guest Reporter Most Appalachian sports fans remem­ ber two football seasons ago on a nippy October evening In Boone when Marshall, ranked number one in the country, ven­ tured into Kidd Brewer Stadium only to lose to the Mountaineers in what was the biggest victory in school history. What most sports fans don't know is that two Saturday's ago, ASU's Club Football Team may have had the second biggest victory in school history. Galaudet Urjiversity, a Division III col­ lege in Washington D.C., fell presto what club football players like to ca.. "Black ill Death" by a score of 32-29. Whit makes this win so remarkable is that a club team that practices three times a week, upended a college team that recruits and practices five days a week. "Club teams come up here and they lose," said Coach Tudd Dean. Dean went on to say that most club teams can't compete with a team of this caliber. Led by quarter­ back Bryan Johnson, the Black Death of­ fense drove the length of the field and scored on the first drive of the game. The Black Death defense put a stranglehold on the Galaudet attack in the first half and went into the locker room with a 13-6 lead. The second proved to be a hard fought battle, with both teams scoring on big plays. Even though the offenses were highlighted in this match-up, it was the Black Death defense that saved the day. With the score 32-29 and the ball on the Black Death 30-yard line, free safety Scott "Shakes" Stillwell picked off a Galaudet pass with 35 seconds left in the game to seal the victory. Stillwell was, by far, the player of the game, catching two touchdown passes on offense while also grabbing the game-win­ David Jackson ning interception.

Endless Summer Tours 1-800-2347007 This past weekend, the Appalachian State University volleyball team was back in action against Furman University on Friday and Georgia Southern University on Sunday. The first match came down to endur­ ance on Friday night, with the Mountain­ eers proving they had what it took to hang tough with one of the best in the confer­ ence. Furman came in with a 4-1 record in the conference with App only 2-3 on the year, but by the way the Lady Spikers played, one would have thought they were undefeated. The first game was taken by the Pala­ dins 15-8. This served as a wake-up call for the Mountaineers, who took games two and three 15-11 and 15-13. Furman battled back in game four to keep them­ selves alive, but dropped the decisive fifth game 15-13 to the rallying Mountaineers. Appalachian was led on the offensive side of the net by Paula Levay with a teamhigh 26 kills and hit a whopping .370 average in the match. The assisting genius on the night, Cindy Kolomechuk, came up with 54 assists, accounting for every as­ sist on the Mountaineers side of the net. On the defensive end, Miriam Sealey notched up a match-high 21 digs for the Mountaineers. The job was not over for the Moun­ taineers. Sunday the women traveled to Statesboro, Georgia to face off against the winless Eagles of Georgia Southern. The Eagles came out strong in game one post­ ing a 15-10 win to take the first game. ASU was quick to answer, taking the next three games 15-5,15-9 and 15-7. The women from App pulled together and put on an impressive display of team work, led by seniors April Sorrells with 14 kills and Miriam Sealey with 12 kills and 20 digs of her own. Stephanie Young posted the team-high .384 hitting percentage and aced the Eagles on four different occa­ sions. Junior Cindy Kolomechuk dished out 49 assists during the match while Jen­ nifer Rumefeldt blocked four Eagle at­ tacks. The Mountaineers have over come a lot of adversity this season with the young team and some tough competition. Thurs­ day they put their new foundwinning record, 4-3, on the line against the Buccaneers of East Tennessee State at 7pm.

The Watauga County Sheriffs Office received a call from the Medical Center around 2:45 a.m. Sunday report­ ing that the woman had alleged she was raped. An October 14 Watauga Sheriff's Office news release said the woman was at a party at the Kappa Alpha (KA) "Fra­ ternity House" when the sexual assault occured. According to the ASU News Bu­ reau, three Appalachian students hold the lease to the property which is located off Highway 421, east of Boone. The lot has a one-story house on it which has tra­ ditionally been the sight of KA parties. The Sheriffs Office said that between "300 and 500" people attended the party Saturday night. An October 14 Watauga Democrat article reported that the fraternity had hired a private security company to handle the crowd. The article also said that a spokesperson for the company reported only one guard was sent to handle traffic. Birke McNeill, president of KA, de­ clined to comment on anything related to the incident. "I do not feel that I can com­ ment on this at this time," he said. The emergency room staff would not comment on the woman's condition Mon­ day afternoon. The Democrat reported that the woman had been treated and released Sunday morning. "An investigation is on-going at this time," said Sheriff James C. "Red" Lyons. "We have lots of people to talk to and we're trying to determine who knows anything about the [alleged] assault." According to the Sheriffs Office, calls were made periodically through the night to complain about cars being parked on neighboring property and excessive noise. Lyons said that the Sheriffs Of­ fice worked with a member of the OASIS Rape Crisis Center staff to help the al­ leged victim, "feel more comfortable," af­ ter they arrived at the Medical Center. Jennifer Herman, Director of the OASIS Rape Crisis Centef, declined to comment on possible involvement. "We offer completely confidential support so I cannot comment on this incident in any way," she said. "1 encourage anyone who knows anything regarding this to call the Sheriffs Office at 264-3761, anytime," Lyons said. He said confidentiality is assured.

Hawksbill Pub, which has been used in the past as a gathering place for shows and events, will soon be converted into a coffee house. Dave Robertson, director of Stu­ dent Programs said the decision came about because the pub was not being used as much during the day as it had been before the renovations to Plemmons Stu­ dent Union. Robertson said the pub had once been used as a popular study area. But after the additions, students found the new lounges to be more comfortable and better lit, so the pub's use dropped. The idea of the coffee house was suggested by Gregory Blinding, vice chan­ cellor for Student Development. Blimling felt the coffee house would provide an­ other place for students to "gather and socialize." Robertson also said that a phone Strickland Award The William C.

Due to the large volume of con­ struction projects taking place on cam­ pus, the design and construction depart­ ments will become independent of physi­ cal operations. Although the split between the maintenance department and the design and construction departments is already official, the reorganization process is tak­ ing some time to straighten out. Director of Design and Construc­ tion Clyde Robbins said that with all of the new construction on campus, the ad­ ministration felt that his time needed to be devoted solely to the supervision of those projects. Robbins said that prior to the split, the maintenance department was "consum­ ing" at least 80 percent of his time. A1 Rapp, associate vice chancellor for administration, said that a consulting firm has been hired to help with the reor­ ganization and to help run the mainte­ nance department until a replacement can be found for Robbins. Paul Valvo, who is with the con­ sulting firm, is currently heading up the department. Robbins said that the decision to split the plant was a good move because there was "just so much work." He also said that the split will help the plant to be run more effectively. Design and Construction has moved to the third floor of the John Tho­ mas building, while the other sections of physical operations will remain at their current location on State Farm Road. Ric Beard Staff Writer A new award to recognize work outside the classroom will be pre­ sented annually by the Ap­ palachian Board of Trust­ ees. The Plemmons Leadership Medallion, named after former Appa­ lachian President William H. Plemmons, will be pre­ sented to people who en­ rich the lives and learning experiences of students. There are five different categories from which the board will se lect award recipients. 10 to 20 students per year are se­ lected to be part of the Leader Fellows program. One of these students may be eligible for the award each year. The next recipient will be selected from student leaders on campus. The stu­ dent leader who distinguishes himself or herself above other lead­ ers will be chosen. All students who receive the award must be of junior class status or higher. A third award will be given to the per­ son who enriches stu­ dent learning or life within the Division of Student Development. A faculty mem­ ber will be given the fourth Medallion if he or she provides meritorious leadership with student See Plemmons page 2 �The Appalachian 15 °ctober Page 2 Pa Local artist's work Above ground crosswalk to banned by Jones House be built over River street Darin Glass Staff Writer Creativity is something that can be hard to express sometimes, as Troy Tbttle and Krysti Adams recently found out. The Jones House, an art gallery here in Boone, wanted to have Tuttle and Adams' photo­ graphs on exhibit with their own room. Both art­ ists' works would be on display in the same room and with no limitations set on them. The photos showed with women's breasts and were first dis­ played on Sunday, Oct. 29. When Tuttle and Adams came into the ex­ hibit the following Tues­ day, they discovered some of their works taken down. They questioned the reasons why the pictures were taken down, and were told that there had been tremen­ dous pressure from local groups to take them down. "They were just a woman's breast," Tbttle said. "Breast shots are in art textbooks and had been done before." Another reason given was that it was too close to election season to cause commotion. The Jones House, which is government funded, did not want to face the possibility of losing funding. Despite his disappointment, Tuttle would like to show more of his work at the Jones House again. "I am just irri­ tated with the small majori­ ties in the community which prevented some of my work to be shown," he said. This was the first time that Jones House had to deal with controver­ sial pieces. Tuttle said that the House has previously shown pictures of nude breasts and that if they were shown before, they should be shown now. "I think Boone is an eclectic place and I feel that it can handle this type of material," Tbttle said. The rest of Tuttle and Adams' work will be on display at the Jones House until the end 6f the month. The photos that were taken down will be at BeansTalk later this month. Chris Kinner Assistant Sports Editor Students of Appalachian State University may soon feel safer walking to and from classes, thanks to an above ground crosswalk to be constructed be­ tween the Raley Hall parking lot and Far­ thing Auditorium. The project will be included as part of the $5.45 million parking deck to be constructed near Raley Hall. The ar­ chitectural firm of Hayes, Seay, Mattern and Mattern is currently in the process of designing the structure, which will be a minimum of 17 feet 3 inches above the road. A final design is expected to be ap­ proved within the next three weeks, and it will exhibit the same Appalachian brick/ green metal roof style of the newer build­ ings on campus. The structure will provide added security in an area which has proven to be problematic for students and faculty alike. Last year, Communications Depart­ ment Chairperson Dr. Terry Cole was struck by a vehicle as he attempted to cross Rivers Street in front of Walker Hall. This incident prompted the installation of a stoplight and crossing signs at the loca­ tion. According to Dr. Clyde Robbins, associate vice chancellor for physical op­ MICHAEL T. HILL erations, the improvements at the com­ monly used crossing have not provided sufficient protection for students trying to reach classes. "We've had a couple of near misses," he said. He blames these near misses and actual accidents that have oc­ curred on impatience, both on the part of the pedestrian and the vehicle operator. Freshman Jason Isaacs agreed with Robbins. He said,"I think that stu­ dents will feel more secure now that they won't have to worry about all the traffic." The project, which will begin con­ struction in the spring of 1997, will be funded by student parking fees, since it is part of the larger parking facility. "By state requirements, parking must be self-sup­ ported," Robbins said. The crosswalk must fit within the predetermined budget, which will dictate its exact features. It will be covered, but not heated. Handicap accessibility has yet to be decided. "Ideally, it would be (accessible). This may entail the installation of eleva­ tors, which may not be economically fea­ sible," Robbins said. Currently, there are no plans for additional above-ground crossings on campus in dangerous areas such as the one between the ASU Post Office and Whitener Hall. "These crosswalks are expensive and hard to do unless they are part of a larger building project," Robbins said. He added, "We're trying to do another cross­ walk as part of the (Appalachian) Convo­ cation Center." Plemmons continued frnrr.' clubs or organizations. The final award will be any Appalachian employee who h" student learning and life. According to Director of Sh Involvement and Leadership Dibernardi, the Board of Trustees it to be known that this new award^ that rewards work outside of th room. It is also the highest award' kind on campus. If no one stands ' one of the five categories, the awJ! not be given in that category.

Opinion Homophobes are hypocrites "We know the human brain is a device to keep the ears from grating on one another." Peter De Vries The Appalachian Fairness, Accuracy and Public Service since 1934 Our opinion... .. Belk Library, like any library can be an over­ whelming place. With such a large volume of books, iagazines, journals, videotapes and other resources, s very easy to get swallowed by the sheer immenty of it all. As overwhelming as it may seem, the library is ted ot meant to be a place of confusion. In the last sevof|j ral months, the library staff that made several pus tanges which may seem somewhat minor in scope, i jt have made it much more user-friendly. According to Business Librarian Loles Solis, one le. a ? f the biggest changes to Belk Library has been the a' ;turn of the Appalachian Collection to Belk Library, he collection, which consists of books by local autors, historical documents, artifacts, genealogy and ther items of local importance, was moved to Uniersity Hall in 1986. Due to a bad building foundau .on, the collection was moved back to Belk Library J rhere it rightfully belongs. ® But bringing the collection back to Belk meant aving to find space for it. The library sacrificed classjom and lounge space on the third floor in order to ring the collection back to Appalachian. With the )ss of space, the library was forced into once again rearranging its layout. But this rearrangement has been less confusing £ due to the addition of signage in various places in ] the library. Students walking into the library can immediately notice the large, white signs posted by the stairs and near the double doors as they come in through the turnstile. The reserve reading section on the second floor has also added large signs showing students where they an look up reserve reading docu­ ments. These signs, which are a little touch, make finding your way around the library a lot easier for freshmen and upperclassmen alike. The university has also made its computerized jcard catalog easier to students to access. The main J menu now allows students to go directly into the jnewspaper indexes, which they could not do before •without going through two or three other commands Jfirst. The new menus also allow direct access to the Vestern Carolina library system catalog. The catajlog, which lists books available through Western Caro­ lina University and the University of North Carolina at Asheville, was also unavailable without digging iaL through the old card catalog's command structure. According to John Boyd, electronic reference liirarian, these changes were made because the West­ em Carolina Library System and newspaper indexes 30nttoere some of the most commonly used features of he catalog, but were hard to access on the old menu. 3n the new menu, both features appear at the very >eginning of the search, so students no longer have ,v to go searching for the menu commands needed to find them. The library is also on-line and can be accessed through the university's Internet web site. Through the site, students can search through the card cataog, academic indexes and access Encyclopedia Iritannica On-Line. To avoid conflict, all of the library's databases are text based as well as graphi­ cal. Students and faculty who don't have to have a jraphics browser can still access any of the indexes through the VAX system. By making all of these changes, Belk Library has become a lot less scary for students and faculty. The palachian applauds the library's efforts, and hopes hey will continue to make the library more usernendly in the future. My Turn by Jeremy Ball Columnist As a Christian, I felt a mixture of shame and dis­ gust when I walked into the tunnels last week and saw the blatant statements of hate that someone scrawled on the walls after the tunnels were painted supporting National Coming-Out Day. When I saw quotations from the Bible used, I felt disgust at seeing what I believe is the Word of God twisted and perverted to promote hate. And I felt disgust at seeing lies like "God hates fags" writ­ ten about nature and the character of God. I felt shame when I realized how often we Chris­ tians fail to live out our faith when dealing with the issue of homosexuality, and that if we were living as we were supposed to, the messages relating to Chris­ tianity which were painted on that wall would have been laughed at. Everyone would know from our lives that ours is a faith built upon an eternal love which conquers death and hatred. My hope is to address both Christians and nonChristians, and to at least make you think. For nonChristians, my goal is not to convince you to believe the same as I. I don't have the wisdom or power to do that. But rather, I hope to clarify what Christians really believe, based upon the Word of God. First of all, to the non-Christians and especially the homosexual community, I apologize. For too long, many Christians have changed the Word of God to fit their views instead of allowing the Word of God to change them. We sit in our smugness and con­ demn the rest of the world while not even bothering to live out our faith. Let's set the record straight. Christianity teaches that God loves everyone. The statement, "God hates fags" is a lie. The famous verse, John 3:16, which could be considered the cornerstone of our faith, starts off "For God so loved the world.. ." But, the Bible also teaches that God hates sin. And the act of homosexuality is considered to be a sin in the Old Testament as well as the New (see 1 Cor. 6:9 or Rom. 1:26-27). But God does not hate people. By no means do we believe that homosexuals should be killed. Those verses from Leviticus which someone chose to paint in the tunnel referred to a system of national laws which God gave specifically to the nation of Israel. The Jewish race is God's chosen race and they §My Konstantaras News Editor Ryan Price Editorials Editor Matt Russ ires Editor Mike Daniels ts Editor Pam Griffin News Editor Bethany Parrish Photography Editor John Starling Features Editor Chris Kinner Assistant Sports Editor ah McCotter David Wainer iting Coach Chief Copy Editor ditorial Department 262-6233 or 262-3104 Advertising Department 262-2157 Production Department 262-6256 •for outers! WILL TUD& Anti-gay messages were painted in the tunnels after National Coming Out Day. (Photo by Richard Thomas) were expected to live up to certain laws of purity as a nation. Christians are a pan of God's New Testa­ ment and have different guidelines for dealing with sin. God doesn't feel differently about sin, but we are not a nation. You may ask, who are you to tell me what's a sin? I'm nobody. Read the Scriptures. And if Chris­ tians can't believe the Bible, what do we have to be­ lieve? So, the Scriptures say that the act of homosexu­ ality is a sin. But Romans 3:23 says that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." I am the worst sinner of all and I sin every day. Because of my sins, I deserve an eternity of separation from God. That's what those people who wrote on the walls forgot. They are sinners too. But there is hope. Thanks to God that I can go back to my original state­ ment and say that God loves everyone. How do I know? Let's finish up John 3:16, "He sent His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life." God loves us so much that he paid for all of our sins through the blood of Christ. And if the God who created the universe cared enough to give His only Son, then he cares enough to help yo'u deal with whatever you struggle with in your life, through belief in His plan. God created everyone. Would we put Him in so small a box as to say that He cannot help us with the desires and temp­ tations that we face? Non-Christians, we believe that God loves ho­ mosexuals, Baptists, atheists, frat-boys, athletes, and murderers all the same. He showed that 2,000 years ago. Christians, we should feel ashamed. Have we forgotten that we are sinners saved by grace? Our love for Him is because of the love that He showed us. And we are called to love others. Christian, when was the last time that you showed a homosexual God's love? When was the last time that you helped a homo­ sexual with her homework or asked her to dinner? Or, are we so stuck in our own cliques that we forget that the ministry of Jesus was to those people that His society despised the most. How much we have become like Pharisees! Also, remember 1 Cor. 5:12, "What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?" Yes, we should stand by our convictions and speak the truth, especially in this age of relativism and universalism. But speak the truth in love and remember that people's primary need is not a change in actions. Many a good looking church-goer will find himself in hell. People need a change of heart. That's what a relationship with Christ gives. Let's start showing non-Christians changed lives and love that knows no conditions. That is what will prove that God is still alive and that He has given us the truth through the Scriptures. Pray that God will break our hearts for the homosexual commu­ nity and that we will truly be salt and light. Finally, Christians, remember 1 Cor. 13:2, "If I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing." Christianity is all about grace. Let's remember to show others the same grace that God showed us. Or would we be willing to be judged in the same way that we judge others? Advantages of alien attacks Have you seen the movie "Independence Day" yet? If not, go see it. The special effects are great. This is not a movie review, as much as I would like it to be one. But is instead another article about politics and politicians. Science-fiction lovers will say I'm crazy, but I think "Independence Day" directly applies to many contemporary political events. For those readers who have not seen the movie The Appalachian is published every Tuesday and Thursday of the academic year with the ex­ a brief outline of the plot. Aliens attack the Earth, devastate the cities, but mankind, led by the U.S. ception of selected holidays and breaks. The Appalachian welcomes letters to the edi­ President, defeats them. The decisive blow how­ tor. These should be 150 words or less, typed, ever, is made by a drunken air force veteran who double spaced and include the author's name, ad­ volunteers to fly a jet. In today's world, alien attacks are good for poli­ dress, phone number and campus affiliation, if any. f The Appalachian reserves the right to decline pub- ticians. They let them show their courage and loy­ ^ "cation of any letter or to edit letters for the pur- alty to their nation and help the nation forget the i Pose of space and clarity. Letters should be deliv- wrong things that the politician has done in the past. This carries over to the real world.

This is not Vanessa Urruela » Editor-in-Chief ii): Renee Cagle Matt Jones Managing Editor Business Manager jjGoJ's Viewpoint by Pavel Zemliansky Columnist to say that the fighting in Chechnya goes unnoticed within Russia. It's rather like the temperature knob on your kitchen stove. You can adjust the public opinion ac­ cording to your needs of today by cranking up the heat of fighting or reducing it-just like we do it when we cook something. The other fighting party in that war, the Chechen rebels, can also turn such a course of events to their advantage. For them, the aliens are the Russian troops. Fighting a stronger army always elevates you in the eyes of your people. They almost forget why the fight started in the first place. Immediately after Saddam Hussein made a move towards Kurdish strongholds, the international com­ munity reacted. But can anyone tell who was the winner in this battle? Both sides are convinced that they won. The world's superpowers showed that they care about peace and human rights while Saddam added to his image of a martyr who is being bullied by the rest of the world. To this list you can add all the events in the Middle East, Haiti, Somalia, and lots of other places where "aliens" were defeated- or at least it seemed so to the people who fought them. When such events take place, even a usually balanced mass media like CNN does not seem to be able to find time for any­ thing else. It almost looks like nowhere else in the world blood is shed. In the world of politics and strategic national interests, anyone can become an alien, in the sense that he can be used by somebody else who at this particular moment happens to have more missiles and tanks. A couple of remarks by way of conclusion; the president in the movie will surely be reelected after the victory over aliens. And, if you hope to rule na­ tions, remember that it always helps to have some­ one beside you who will agree to fight for your cause no matter what. It doesn't matter whether it's your political advisor or just anybody who happens to be available at the time. ^ Letters j=to the Editor .etter to the Editor, I am a first-semester freshman here at Appala­ chian. I appreciate the variety of features, university news, and editorials, but realize that the paper may be lacking something. The Appalachian should in­ clude news outside of our campus. Oftentimes, stu­ dents are mentally secluded from the world at large, if they choose not to watch CNN or to pick up a USA Today Since The Appalachiaonly published twice a week, there would potentially be enough newswor­ thy information to fill a page in every issue. Editori­ als do serve their niche, but it is the opinion of this reader that some hard news might provide factual ground on which to base editorial comment, while mmulating reader intellect.

The circus comes to Boone From out of nowhere, a pack of poodles entered the gym and every kid's mouth dropped. Familiar cries of "look at the doggy" echoed from one end of the building to the next, as the young viewers eased to the edge of their seats. It was none other than the "Canine Capers" dog troop, come to amaze the crowd with their tricks of balance and as­ tonishing scooter riding. As Fifi took the handle bars of a small two-wheeler, she kicked her leg vigorously to roll it around the ring. Ooohs and Aaahs fol­ lowed her segment-ending performance. Although 11 dogs running around the ring may be a hard act to follow, the tra­ peze act of "Kimberly and Rebecca" took a great shot at it. Highlighted by their per­ ilous one-foot inverted hanging, their show gave way to the time-consuming Mark Corroli Riders. The Corroli Riders, led by rider and comedian Mark Corroli, performed in ex­ cess of 25 minutes. As they amazed the crowd with their abilities of horse riding, Mark added a spice of laughter to the seg­ ment. Many believed that the coming of the circus to town was needed. "I think it is a good thing that Boone allows the circus to come to town," said Angie Greer, mother of two and an Ashe County resident. "It's nice for the circus to come here. We don't have to go two hours to Char­ lotte." With all the positive jeers in favor of the circus, so too came negative reactions. Brad Wilkinson Reporters "Peanuts, Popcorn, get it all right :re." No, it's not an Appalachian footill game, instead, the circus has come town equipped with a show for "boys ,d girls of all ages." The Royal Hannaford Circus rolled | lt0 town and right into Varsity Gym Wednesday night to entertain and amaze ' 1 comers with its daring feats and hui orous acts. While parents were busy tying food and toys for the kids, the lildren were simply smiling with eyes ide, trying to take in all of the unfamilr sights. "I want to ride the elephant daddy," lur-year-old Troy Reese said to his faier Tony, as he struggled to carry the lflatable dolphin his dad had purchased >r him before the show started. As Tony :d him down to the third ring, where he ' ecided instead to take a pony ride of:red to the crowd for a fee, Troy skipped with excitement. Oh to be a kid again. The show began with the grand en­ trance which put all the entertainers in the spotlight simultaneously.' As they pa­ raded around in their sparkling costumes, the crowd cheered, for they knew they were about to be dazzled. ' • -V: ' * • Upon entry to the gym, numerous youths were stationed in front of the building, busy dispersing flyers outlin­ ing the cruel and unnecessary treatment of the animals used in the circus. The flyers showed how animals were kept in small cages, malnourished and often sedated before the shows. While two of the activists represent­ ing "People for Animal Liberation" had to be escorted out of the building, show comers did not seem to be fazed. Along with the happy cheers from the crowd came sneers as well. Many people joked and mocked the circus for being unprofessional. This type of thing can be expected from a circus that dresses the same person up in three dif­ ferent costumes, for three different acts, and only changes the names that were announced. No matter what the personal view of the grown-ups and young adults, the kids seemed to be the ones who ben­ efited the most. But after all, isn't that the most important objective? As the show closed, young Troy, slumped down in his seat with tired eyes, took his dad's hand and made his way to the door, headed for home and dreams of animals and clowns to fill his night. For those who were kids long ago, a smile filled their face as they left. Maybe it was their delight in seeing the children so happy. But possibly, it was simply that the joy in the eyes of one four-year-old still lives in each of us. m m ••• ' • • " X&?-? .

Visiting writers inspire aspiring authors Ric Beard Reporter When Appalachian suffered the loss of Cathy Fitzgerald almost two years ago, her friends wanted to do something spe­ cial in honor of her memory. As a result, author Lee Smith will be visiting Appala­ chian in October. Smith was Cathy Fitzgerald's favor•te author. She is one of 13 writers who will speak at Appalachian this year. The effort to bring the author here just be­ gins to show the hearts of the people who Work with the Visiting Writer's program at Appalachian. People like Susan Weinberg and Lynn Doyle look for authors who are going to be in the state and have them listed two years in advance in some cases so that they have time to get grants. The program is independently funded, so it takes a lot of time and effort to find supporters. Speaking with Doyle about the pro­ gram, one will hear the excitement in her voice. It is work she loves. Her only fear is that some people may not attend be­ cause they think that the seminars will be boring. Doyle says that this is not the case. When Donald Harrington, A profes­ sor at the University of Arkansas, spoke recently, "...he really kept them laughing," Doyle said. She that it is wonderful that a man who had five-percent hearing in one ear and who had recently recovered from throat cancer had persevered and kept such a great sense of humor. The numbers seem to agree with Doyle's idea that these special guests can be entertaining. Six years ago, the aver­ age attendance for a visiting writer's ap­ pearance was close to 30. Now it aver­ ages between 75 and 150. So, if you think that "read-ins" are for geeks go see Lee Smith on October 24th at 8 PM. at I.G. Greer. Trey Walden, a senior at Appalachian has heard her speak and says, "She is hilarious. She just kept me rollin'." With the addition of call waiting, the residence hall experience continues to benefit students' lives. Besides having an accessibility to campus, students living in residence halls are constantly exposed to an encourag­ ing and exciting environment. In their mission statement, the De­ partment of Residence Life states their purpose to "provide a satisfactory living environment which meets safety, security and physical needs of residents." In residence halls, safety is provided at night through security assistants. Com­ puter labs are available for students to use, and telephone directory assistance is free. Resident Assistant Krista Prybylo de­ scribes the residence hall experience as an "opportunity to meet new people and learn about what the campus can offer each individual student." Student Union gets a touch of class Jeremy Ball Staff Writer The Student Union is about to get a gassier look. Starting on Oct. 23, the lion's walls will display the 26 pieces ffie Plemmons Collection of Contem­ porary Art. . This collection of artwork was se­ ated from pieces which were chosen r°ugh the Summa Composite Art ComP^ition, which was a national competi0n that Appalachian sponsored. David L. Robertson, the director of ffident Programs, said that when the n 0n was built, $41,500 was set aside Q ' ut of the construction budget to buy art r t le s° ^ building. He said that the decil0n was made to select that art through the creation of the Summa art competi­ tion. A prospectus was sent to over 7,000 art galleries, college departments of art, commissioned artists and art councils, ask­ ing for a submission of up to two slides per artist. Appalachian received 610 en­ tries. Robertson said that one of the objec­ tives of making this competition a national competition was to get Appalachian's name known.in the art community throughout the nation. He said that be­ cause it was a national competition, there was also the hope that "we might pick up a piece by somebody vyho one day will be a world renowned artist." The 610 entries were sent to the juror selected for the initial stage of the compe­ tition, Belena Chapp, who is the director of the university gallery at the University of Delaware. Chapp selected 68 pieces to proceed to the next stage of the competition. Those artists whose pieces were selected were notified and asked to send their work to Appalachian. Of those artists, 60 chose to send their work. These pieces were sent to the charge of Phil Arnold, the curator of building art in the Union. They are on display in the Looking Glass Gallery, Multicultural Cen­ ter and Yadkin River Room. On Oct. 8, a panel composed of ad­ ministrators, faculty and student leaders completed the final stage of the competi­ tion, and selected the 26 pieces which will compose the Plemmons Collection of Con­ temporary Art. Christi L. Hayes, a sophomore from Boone who visited the collection, said that the committee did an excellent job of se­ lecting which works should appear in the Union. She said that she was particularly impressed with the charcoal and pen draw­ ings in the exhibit. Robertson says he hopes that students will recognize that the money to pay for the exhibit came from a budget which stu­ dent funds feed into. He hopes students will give the pieces "the same respect and care that any fine artwork deserves," and that they will treat the art with the recog­ nition that they paid for it. Hayes says she feels that the decision to include artwork in the Student Union was a good idea. She also says that the Union already stays very clean, which shows that students will treat the art with respect. Resident Assistants (RAs) focus on educating their residents on several dif­ ferent issues each month. This is done through programming, which involves planning a fun activity for the students that is also filled with valuable informa­ tion. The importance of residents taking part in delivering a program or creating one themselves is emphasized throughout the residence halls. "On a floor, residents engage in ac­ tivities that will make each person feel like a member of a community," says Coordi­ nator for Residential Programs Tierza Watts. Some topics addressed in programs are; students' concerns about college life in general, safety and security awareness, substance abuse and diversity. Freshman Laura Alexander says that "living in a residence hall is especially good for freshmen. There's always some­ body there- whether it's somebody to study with from one of your classes or just somebody to talk to." Encouragement and individual assis­ tance is given to students in residence halls. Think again about moving off cam­ pus. BLURS Not too sure about your body?

Charlotte NC 28211 �, Appalachian 15 October 1996 Page 7 Sports I Mountaineers out of SC title finished Business: race with 20-14 loss to Furman I Mike Daniels Sports Editor K Did you ever have a favorite team who the championship and reached the iiacle of their sport, and it made you ;h that they would never play another tie and stay at that position forever? That's how the Appalachian State iuntaineers probably felt after their 20loss to Furman Saturday that, for all lor ents and purposes, took away any "nan ince of their winning the Southern Cona Ave ence again or making the playoffs. In the words of quarterback Gerard ee rdy, "It's pretty much a long shot at f ame nning the conference or getting to the lyoffs at this point." After starting out strong and holding tithe ;ir own in the first half, the MountainFran r offense fizzled in the second half, scor, no points and putting up only one yard '"onfissing. The offense looked its worst in e fourth quarter, going three and out on ree of their drives and only collecting Ivo first downs when they desperately ' :eded a score. After the first period, it looked as lough it was going to be anyone's illgame. After driving 78 yards on eight ays for a touchdown on the game's openig drive, the Apps defense allowed the |aladins to counter with a six play, 80d scoring drive that tied the score at 7- When Damon Scott finished another ppalachian scoring drive with a four yard uchdown run early in the second quarr, Furman again answered behind the shing of running back Ernest Crosby, ho took the Paladins 69 yards down the eld on one play, setting up the tying juchdown. When the two teams went lto the locker room at half-time, it looked , ? though it was going to come down to 'hoever had the ball last. However, when the teams came out AK# Owens Field House to start the second >222,01 alf, it became Furman's game. The furman defense shut down the Appalalian running game and its cornerstone on en ption play, forcing the Apps to the air. i'Unfortunately, Hardy was only able to ' :te one out of 13 pass attempts in half for one yard. The result was a 20-14 Furman vic­ tory, despite the fact that the Appalachian defense was able to limit the Paladins to just six points in the half after Elando Johnson was able to block the extra point attempt on Furman's only touchdown of the half in the third quarter. Hardy said that he didn't think the Mountaineers, "...were a physical team in the second half, and that allowed their defense to make plays." Two major reasons for the Apps loss were penalties and turnovers. Appala­ chian was only penalized four times for a loss of 35 yards, but all of these penalties seemed to come on crucial plays for the Mountaineers, such as the roughing the kicker flag in the second quarter that gave Furman the chance to re-kick a field goal that they had just missed. Luckily for the Apps, freshman kicker Jason Wells also missed his second attempt from 33 yards out, five yards closer than his first miss. Much like their loss to Wake Forest, the Mountaineers also hurt themselves with turnovers. Appalachian gave up the ball four times in the contest, three on fumbles and once on an interception. In the Wake game, the Apps committed four fumbles and an interception. After the game, Head Coach Jerry Moore said that the Mountaineers, "...can't just show up" as they have been doing so far this season, because "...we're going to catch everybody's best shot." Moore went on to say that he wasn't sure that "We mentally and physically prepare ourselves to play to the level we did last year." The loss marked the first time since 1993 that Appalachian lost back-to-back conference games in a row. The last time it happened in October of that year, the team lost a string of three in a row to Furman, Georgia Southern and Marshall. Coincidentally, the Apps next two games are against those very same teams. Yet as any optimistic coach would, Moore said that "I do believe that (we) could still make the playoffs. I think we have to go through from this point undefeated to get it done." At 1-2 in the conference and 3-3 over­ all, Appalachian will begin its playoff quest Saturday in Statesboro, Ga. when they take on the Eagles of Georgia South­ ern. The following week the Mountain­ eers will return to Kidd Brewer Stadium for their big showdown with top ranked Marshall on homecoming.

That pattern lasted until the 62:10 mark as UNCAsheville senior midfielder Chris Lawrence broke the deadlock, off a direct kick, putting the Bulldogs up 1-0. UNCAsheville was not finished. Senior midfielder Tracy Tymko pounded his first career goal at the 67:26 mark, past a div­ ing Brandon James, to extend the Bull­ dog lead to 2-0. UNC-Asheville tacked on one more goal to make the score 3-0 before Appa­ lachian managed to get on the board. Sophomore midfielder Jeremy Marsh net­ ted the Mountaineers lone goal at the 80:27 mark as too little proved to come too late for the Apps' in the 3-1 Bulldog victory. Despite the loss, the play of Marsh has been a bright spot for the Appalachian offense. By netting four goals in the last two contests for the Mountaineers, he pro­ vides an added weapon in the Apps' scor­ ing attack as the team heads into the Marsh James stretch of the '96 campaign. Strength of schedule will not get any easier for Appalachian the rest of the way. The Mountaineers take to the road for the next three games, two of which will come against ACC opponents.

One copy free Appalachian State University Boone, North Carolina 28608 Volume 71, Number 12 Feasibility studies outlines ASU's future growth Beth Bliss Staff Writer Appalachian State University re­ cently took the first step in preparing for the vast increase in enrollment expected over the next 10 years in the University of North Carolina system, according to Dr. Bobby Sharp, Director of Institutional Research and Planning. According to Sharp, a memoran­ dum from the president of the University of North Carolina system states that the fall head count enrollment in the UNC system will increase by approximately 40,000 students between 1996 and 2005. With this predicted growth loom­ ing in the distance, the general adminis­ tration of the UNC system asked all institutions within the system to sub­ mit plans concerning two potential scenarios, Sharp said. In the first poten­ tial scenario, Appalachian was asked to detail projects currently in pro­ duction with the hopes of accommodating more stu­ dents, Sharp said. Among the projects mentioned were the new steam plant, the science and math complex, the convocation center and parking deck, all of which are currently under construction or in the planning stages. Other tactics outlined in the enrollment scenarios form include a greater number of classes scheduled in the early morn­ ing and afternoon, as well as in evenings and on weekends, and the elimination of elective classes with currently low en­ rollment. Sharp said that in the second scenario, Appa­ lachian was asked to outline possible additions that could be made to campus, especially after the year 2000, when the growth rate is ex­ pected to rise dramatically. Among the possibilities listed for the future were a library addition, a book­ store expansion, a social science building, a residence hall, a "living/learning cen­ ter" which would house 298 students, a parking deck and an alternative transpor­ tation system. In addition, suggestions were made in the report for the renovation of both Rankin Science Building and of other existing buildings with the hopes of add­ ing 150 faculty offices. If implemented, these projects would be completed before or by the year 2005. "This is not a projection...of what we want or what we aspire [to do]," Sharp said. 'This is a willingness of how many of that 40,000 [additional students] we are willing to address."

(Photo Bethany Parrish) Students come out to promote diversity Students and community members paint Rivers St. tunnels Sara Lewinter Staff Writer On Hiesday night, a variety of students came together to paint the Riv­ ers Street tunnels for National Coming Out Day which is Oct. 11. All colors of the rainbow were splashed throughout the tunnel walls. Both faculty and students went wild, col­ oring the tunnels with messages like "Vis­ ibility Equals Life!" and "Love happens." Children drew stick figures and smiley faces. A lesbian couple put their initials on the ground. A mother painted "Hate is not a family value" in black. "We need to help spread diver­ sity," said BGLAD Co-President Ericka Heath. "It's something that people need to be aware of." Flyers passed out at the tunnels stressed the constant need for increased awareness and the present urgency for equal rights through the words, "Ho­ mophobia is sanctioned by the Supreme Court." "It was great to see the straight and gay community coming together," said Student Government Association Senator Carrie Smith. Appalachian students painted messages of gay pride and tolerance in the tunnels.

Fox said that she felt the need to address SGA after a conflict with the Watauga County Board of Elections, who told her she would need to pay a substan­ tial fee to obtain a voter registration list from the county. When Foxx informed the county manager that, by law, she could only be charged for the cost of the paper used to make the documents, she was told that high rates were used because of student requests for such information. Foxx said that she was angered by this policy. "You're voters, you're citi­ zens, you pay your taxes," she said. "You deserve to be treated like everyone else." Foxx stressed that she wanted stu­ dents to be aware that the laws concern­ ing availability of public records had been changed. She also said that she plans to introduce a bill which would force county administrators to refund any money which may have been wrongly collected from those seeking copies of public records. "If we try to keep records from [one] citizen, we have the potential to keep records from all citizens," Foxx said. "I'm concerned about that." Foxx also said that several Appa­ lachian students had come to her with concerns about the ease of obtaining in­ ternship credit. According to Foxx, stu­ dents had noted problems with difficult faculty members. "My concern is that this univer­ sity treats [students] like customers," she said. "[Students] ought to be treated with great respect and is if [their] time is valu­ able." Foxx ended her address by ex­ plaining that she wants her role as a state senator to benefit Appalachian students. Foxx worked for Appalachian from 1972 to 1987. During her time as a faculty member, she served as an instruc­ tor in the sociology department. In addi­ tion, Foxx was the Assistant Dean in the General College and designed the current academic advising and orientation pro­ grams. Sanford Hall sot to receive new desks Laurie Lyda Staff Writer Sanford Hall will be getting a much needed facelift in the coming months. An ongoing classroom improve­ ment, initiated last summer will soon pro­ vide funds for the addition of about 1,100 new desks in Sanford.

According to New River's general manager Donald Austin, the money used for the renovations comes from margins realized by New River. "However the university uses the money is ultimately up to them," Austin said. According to Vice Chancellor of Business Affairs Jane Helm, each depart­ ment had the option of submitting a list of classrooms they would like to see re­ furbished. Sanford Hall will be the first, with other classrooms to be selected at a later date. Reward Offered Muscular Dystrophy Association For lost gold bracelet.

Advising system ineffective It's about the time of year again when students [art thinking about what classes to take next se­ mester. Many times these students have questions tout their courseload and credits. Where are we hid to go with those queries and concerns? To our cademic advisors, of course! Many students at Appalachian experience louble with advising. We've heard horror stories >tely. Apparently, advisors retiring, leaving the ountry and not being accesible are major probbms. For all too many Appalachian students, the adlice of school-assigned academic advisors has gen­ erated more problems than answers when look­ ing for guidance. Students are continually suckered into taking classes that aren't required for their major, or they ines they have tested out of through A.R credit, iven worse, some students are not told about lasses they need to take and find out later, usu­ ally when they are ready to graduate that they need to stay an extra semester because their acadenic [advisor forgot to tell them that they needed to take lanother hour of RE. The most problems seem to be generated by the general college advisors who seem to know a only a little about requirements. These are the advisors the university gives freshmen year who usually know nothing about the major you're think­ ing about going into, but try to give you advice on it anyway. The result is that you usually have to go to someone in that department to find exactly [what you need. If students are to receive sound academic ad­ vice from the start, they should be able to pick which department their advisor is in before their freshman year. That way students would at least get the right advice from the start about what classes are needed to get into that particular de­ partment. Another problem with the advisment process is how long it takes to transfer records from the general college advisors to department advisors. If you declared your major at the beginning of this semester, your records are probably still in the pro­ cess of being transfered. Meanwhile, you will still receive one of those crazy letters telling you to make an appointment with an assigned advisor in the general college. Examples of poor advisment that Appalachian staffers have experienced are: an advisor leaving the country without notice, an advisor incorrectly judging core curriculum credits and advisors re­ tiring without notice. In the cases of disapearring advisors, students were never even sent a letter about their departure. Most do not even learn of it until it is time to register again. Maybe the university should consider making advisors of professors who actually want to advise and maybe give them a little training about cred­ its. Of course students need to take on the respon­ sibility of planning ahead, but advisors should be able to answer what must be routine questions without giving students any run around.

It was obvious that both Bob Dole and Bill Clinton were a little nervous, but understand­ ably so. By decision of a coin toss, the incumbent Presi­ dent Bill Clinton was to make his opening speech first. Clinton went to the bread and butter of any incumbent's campaign, the "good stuff." You know, all the positive things that have happened under their guidance. Clinton talked about 10 and half million jobs that had been created under his ad­ ministration, and a 60 percent deficit cut. He told of a rise in Medicare benefits and edu­ cational funding, and of a plan to give everyone the chance to go to college. Dole was no different than Clinton. After taking only the time to thank those sponsoring and watch­ ing the debates, he made a bee-line for his favorite topics. Dole went to his connection with the com­ mon man. He talked about how he, too, has seen the hard times, how he wants to give something back to the people. Dole told how he wanted to express the concerns of the people and not exploit them. With that, the stage was set, no more hiding be­ hind the shield of preparations and knowing exactly what to say. This was when the stuff hit the fan. One wrong slip, and Clinton's monumental lead was gone. For Dole, a wrong move could mean an exclamation mark on what many are already calling a bleak chance at best. The night was about to express what many al­ ready knew, that as most people running under the Democratic party, Clinton was fairly liberal. By the same token, Bob Dole was not exactly middle of the stream (no matter how much he tried to make every- Election '96 by Danny Sink Columnist one think he was). The first question up for grabs, from the lips of Jim Lehrer, was about the differences in the two can­ didates' views of federal government. With that, Clinton was off and running. With an almost reluc­ tant tone, he threw out how he had reduced federal government (he would harp on this all night long). Clinton talked about the Brady Bill and the ban on assault weapons. He emphasized family values and attacked the drug issue. Dole kept with his usual "regular man" campaign saying, "I trust the people, the president trusts the government." He kept with the conservative view of less government is better, suggesting that the gov­ ernment should hand more power over to the states. With the final word on the subject (and not to be outdone), Clinton said, "I trust the people," at­ tempting to put to rest any assumptions that might be made if he did not address Dole's comment im­ mediately. To cement the fact that he trusted people, Clinton gave an example of how he worked to help people by protecting them from being kicked out of hospi­ tals before they were fully recovered. As the debate wore on, Dole worked the crowd, making those in attendance (including Clinton) break out laughing several times. Dole was quick, espe­ cially for a 73-year-old man. He jumped on the at­ tack and on the punch lines when they made them­ selves available. In the later half of the proceedings, Clinton pulled the strings of the crowd as well. Lightening the air, the debates took on a more meaningful context, al­ lowing the viewers to see the real candidates instead of the starched shirts on the campaign trail. The issues that were presented were hard-core questions that addressed the future, and even to a point, the past of the U.S. One, if not the biggest question of the night came as no surprise. The question was about bridges to the past and to the future. Could a man that had lived, and fought in World War II possibly have a plan that would account for the future instead of the past? And if so, could his plan compete with that of the younger Bill Clinton? The answer for me came with Bob Dole's final words. All night long the exsenator and president had been targeting the same issues with basically the same final results. The dif­ ferentiation came in how they would reach these goals. This perhaps multiplied the need for Bob Dole to show that he was in contact with the new genera­ tion. If Dole could show that he saw the problems that were occurring today, and the need to stop them for tomorrow, then perhaps he could sway some of those undecided, and even Bill Clinton and Ross Perot votes over to his side. In his closing address, Dole spoke on the subject of young people and drugs. Perhaps he knew that this would cover his bridge to tomorrow. In any case, with this debate and for this time, both candidates kept from burning their bridges. Catch the next issue and read Aaron McKethan's coverage of Jack Kemp and A1 Gore. Generation X forms a voice Viewpoint by Lene Alley Columnist On September 19th, I had the wonderful oppor­ tunity to take part in the inaugural convention of the Foundation for Individual Responsibility and Social Trust. Generation "X"ers from California, New Mexico, Georgia, New York, and 46 other states assembled in the city of "brotherly love," a.k.a. Philadelphia, with one central purpose. That purpose was to form a national voice on the important issues which affect our modern society at all levels of government. For three days straight, myself and 264 other dynamic delegates addressed general issues that are in desperate need of evaluation. Such issues in­ cluded, self-reliance and the welfare state, economic polarization, values and tolerance, along with six other equally important topics. Also, we were fortu­ nate to hear several prestigious experts address the different issues. During our short time together, we were able to listen to and absorb a broad spectrum of opinions, views and agendas. We learned to form dialogue, deliberate topics and find common ground, despite our vast diversity. One major conclusion we found general consen­ sus on was that it is our time, as Generation X, to pull together, take action and make our government officials listen to us. As the future leaders of our society, we need to be active in the formation of policies implemented by our politicians. We cannot afford to sit back with our arms folded and watch the fate of our nation unravel. It is time to empower ourselves and each other! Go out and get involved. Find out about the dif­ ferent issues facing our nation and find your voice in one or more of these issues. Whether your concern is in the environment, or the state of our primary and secondary education system, does not matter. What is important is that as a member of Gen­ eration X, you utilize the opportunities available to you to take action. One of our most sacred opportu­ nities is the gift of voting. Each person's vote can make a world of difference. I cannot possibly summarize the incredible im­ pact that the F.I.R.S.T. convention had on me, it is completely indescribable. I hope next year that sev­ eral of my fellow Appalachian peers will be inter­ ested in attending this convention with me. Despite the misconceived perception of Generation X, we do care and we are trying to make a positive difference. I have much faith in my generation and the leaders it is producing. I know we can pull together and make change for the better. The ball is truly in our hands, so please hold onto it and keep trucking. If anyone is interested in finding out more about the convention or F.I.R.S.T. organization, please feel free to get in touch with me at: LA16335 or A.S.U. Box 10578.

ASU student balences busy life while taking time to help others m Widespread returns to-Boone Aimee Yawn Reporter One of the great things about being in a college setting is that you are exposed to all different types of music and bands. Whether it be in a small club or in a big concert hall, there are many great bands out there to see. One such great act coming to Boone is Widespread Panic, a rock 'n' roll, rhythm and blues band from Athens, Georgia. Widespread Panic has performed with such great acts as the HORDE tour in 1992 and 1993, and they performed at Horn in the West here in Boone last year. After playing together for eight years, Widespread has their trademark improvisational concerts down to an art. With their last album, Ain't Life Grand, Widespread combined many dif­ ferent styles of music with their traditional sound. The entire album was recorded live in their home town, with no splices and vir­ tually no sampling. According to bass player Dave Schools, recording in Darin Glass Reporter How would you feel if you had to go to school, help produce a morning show and be called on for active duty for the national guard? Well, Sonja Lynch, a junior from Raleigh, knows how it feels to do these things while try­ ing to find time to herself. On Sept. 10, Lynch was called on for active duty for the national guard. This was the result of Hurricane Fran's de­ struction in parts of Raleigh. Lynch worked out of the headquarters in Ra­ leigh in the public affairs section. She covered the work that the national guard was doing to help the citizens who were affected by the storm. She was out gathering information in parts of the area and getting valuable information to the general public. She was making newsletters of all the work that was being done. Footage was also taken from the heavily damaged areas to show the power of the storm. Lynch was also lucky enough to get footage from President Bill Clinton and Gover­ nor Jim Hunt. Even more thrilling than seeing the president, was when she was in Kinston helping to save the lives of people who were trapped inside their homes. "That was one of the most rewarding things that I have done," she said. Lynch works to balance one of her many obligations. (Photo provided by Lynch) Lynch then returned back to Boone on Sept. 19, where she found much work to be made up in school, and at her other job of co-producing "The Morning Show." Lynch said that her teachers were very helpful in getting her caught up on her assignments . "The Morning Show" is the first and only local show of its kind. It is on from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. weekdays on Channel 6. The hosts are Tim Baxton and Bob Flanagan. The show covers news, sports, local events, features of local people and Athens made it easier for the band to stay focused, because they got to see their fami­ lies and friends and were able to sleep in their own beds at night. Schools said that this helped to create a healthy feeling among the members, which translated into the quality recording. Widespread Panic will be playing songs from Ain't Life Grand, as well as Space Wrangler, Everyday and their selftided debut on Oct.10 at 8 p.m. in A.S.U.'s Varsity Gym. Opentjig for the band will be Leftover SafmSi? This is one concert that you do not want to miss. John Bells, guitarist for Widespread, is excited about the performance and said that more of the band's quality has been coming out. According to Bells, in a recent press release, "It's another year; we're a bit older. What we do- improvisation in a rock 'n' roll, rhythm and blues format- we've been doing a lot and we're getting better." " . . Students cari purchase tickets for $12 in advance with a valid A.S.U.

PAL seeks alternatives for dissection Beth Bliss Staff Writer Rather than spray-paint fur coats or destroy medical research labs, members of People for Animal Liberation (PAL) have chosen to fight for animal rights with a combination of student dedication and education. PAL, described by member Penny Godbold as "a small group with very ac­ tive members," has been a campus orga­ nization for six years. According to Godbold, over the course of PAEs existence, a main focus of the group has been the implementation of dissection alterna­ tives within the A.S.U. biology depart­ ment. According to sophomore Chantal tennis, PAL president, group representa­ tives have met frequently with biology acuity to discuss the feasibility of offer- ing various dissection alternatives (includ­ ing plastic models, computer simulations and films) in introductory level biology courses. "Our main issue [concerning] dissec­ tion is one of choice," Dennis said. "We feel that, as students, if we have an ethi­ cal problem with dissection, we should have an alternative. We feel an introduc­ tory level biology student should not re­ ceive a failing grade for refusing to dissect a corpse." Dennis said that PAL has offered to raise funds to pay for the dissection alter­ natives. However, Dr. Douglas Miekle, bi­ ology department chairperson, said that while PAL has "presented a good case," no alternatives currendy available will prove as effective for students as dissection. "We still feel [dissection] is a good learning experience," Miekle said. PAEs case consists of several main points, Dennis said. One key argument is that several prestigious medical schools (including Yale, Harvard, and Stanford) have laboratory courses which do not use animal dissection. Dennis also emphasized that the dis­ section alternatives could be beneficial to the biology department. PAL has experi­ mented with some of the alternatives and found them to be considerably low in cost. In addition, Dennis said that while frogs have to be purchased every year for dis­ section, plastic models and computer pro­ grams can be used again each year. Currently, PAL is circulating a petition concerning the absence of dissection al­ ternatives. Dennis said that approxi­ mately 600 signatures have already been collected, and upon receiving support from 10 percent of the student body (1200 students), PAL will present the petition to the biology department. In addition, PAL is receiving support from outside organizations. According to Dennis, the head of the Humane Society of America has offered to come to Appa­ lachian to serve as a guest speaker. "We're educating ourselves in order to better teach the student body and the biology department," Dennis said. sound is what they do best. While hard to classify, Agent Ink is best described as a rock band with all extremes of emotion represented in their songs. "I think we cover a lot of different kinds of music," says bassist Michael Allen of the band's sound. One of their distinctive characteristics is that they have three guitars going at once. In addition to Gaddy, Evan Rowe and Matt Cook play guitar, with Rowe han­ dling vocal duties as well. This trio of guitars adds new dimensions to an already difficult-to-classify sound. At times all three guitars can be chugging away on the same riff or playing distinctive parts. As mentioned, Rowe and Gaddy share vocal duties. This creates possibilities for harmonies and dual vocal lines. Each singer also writes lyrics, which presents the divergent songwriting tastes they each hold. After seeing the reaction they recieve from their audience, there is no question that Agent Ink caters to an as-yet unde­ fined style of music that people want. If you missed their last performance, you can see them with Sticky Friday night at the Pub. For all the attention they've been get­ ting as of late, there's still a couple of things that Agent Ink wants. "I want to hear my song on the radio," says hard­ hitting drummer Matt Harter. "I'd like to support myself doing this," says Rowe. Considering the rate they're going and the quality of the material they're putting out, Agent Ink should have no problem doing these and any other things they want. BLURS Agent Ink Boone's music scene is quite possi­ bly at the highest point that it's been at in a long time.

They have one of the largest intramural pro­ grams in the state, as far as enrollment from students goes. Joe Carter, the director of the intra­ mural department, feels that the purpose is to, "develop the students to be contrib­ uting, helpful individuals by playing and working together." The season has gotten off to a good start with tennis and flag football. Al­ though rain does cause problems with playing games, they can be rescheduled for Sundays. There has not been too much rain, but typical Boone weather has caused some cancellations. Volleyball has just started, and soccer is still going on for the fall semester. Some of the other activities coming up are: hand­ ball, bowling, 1-on-l basketball, pickleball, Rubes® darts and several other fun activities. To participate in any of the sports, just pick up a team entry form at the intramu­ ral office located in Broom-Kirk Gym. Also pick up a recreational sports pocket cal­ endar to find out more about upcoming sports and when the entry deadlines for the activities ara^kie. Even if yoifvfiiSr have a team, you can join one by putting your name on the free-agent list for a sport. Other teams can then pick you up on their team. A.S.U. intramural sports covers all the bases when it comes to participation. Not only does the intramural depart­ ment supply activities, but they also have a variey of jobs to offer. They employ over 200 students with jobs as officials, scorekeepers/timers, office assistants and in many other fieltfs v^hertrstudents can en­ X joy sports While Staking money.

I did my share of tack­ ling and got tackled a lot. It was the best time of my life. The guys on the team embraced me. I remember one away game we had. I had to use the restroom in the gym, which was up the hill from the field. (The male restrooms by the field were opened, but not the female.) I went up the hill, and watched as three of the opposing team's football players held the door to the gym shut, so I wouldn't be able to enter. I stood on the other side of the door and just glared at them through the tiny window. They had realized that I had figured out they were on the other side of the door, so they moved away from it and I opened it. As I did, one player was standing be­ hind the door, and the other two were in front of me. They started to follow me into the gym, asking me all sorts of ques­ tions. One of them even wanted to fight me. Some girls from the other school's volleyball team were in the gym practic­ ing. They saw what was happening and also recognized who I was. (The only equipment I didn't have on at the time was my helmet and shoulder pads.) They told the guys to back off, which they did, and to this day I'm grateful to those vol­ leyball team members. When I got back to the field, my guys asked if the other players had been messing with me. I told them no, they hadn't (because tempers had been flaring already and I didn't want to start anything). They said "We'll get 'em Kathy, if they've been messing with you. We'll get'em." I was one of the team now. And, if you messed with one of us, you messed with all of us. The only way I wasn't treated as an equal was in the locker room situation. That's OK, because I didn't want to share Apps set to battle 13th ranked Paladins Chris Kinner CoKeisit as Assistant Sports Editor the locker room with the guys as they dressed and undressed. Basically, during home games and short road trips, we all showed up dressed, so that wasn't a prob­ lem. On long road trips, I had to wait for everyone to finish changing, and then I changed. Then, I was in the locker room for the pep talk and to go out to the field. Out on the field, it was a different story. The other players didn't know how to react to a female facing them on the line. (I was an offensive tackle.) Some of them hit me really lightly. They didn't want to hurt me. I was a girl and we all know how fragile girls are. The others wanted to hit me really hard to show that girls shouldn't play football. Both ways, I held my own. Sometimes, the other team didn't know I was a female until I took off my helmet at the end of the game. As I went through the line, shaking the hands of the opposing team players, I could hear them ask my teammates "Is that a girl?" I'd smile and turn around to see my guys proudly nodding their heads "Yes."

Can Appalachian repeat such a feat 1 after dropping their first SC game in over | two years Saturday at East Tennessee | State University? "I think anytime a team's got a loss, your back's to the wall. Hopefully, we can respond and bounce back from it," said Head Coach Jerry Moore. Furman University just might be the |i medicine that Appalachian needs to re| gain championship form, as the Paladins , charge into Boone this weekend for a 1:00 contest. The Mountaineers dropped to 114th in the nation, one spot behind the | Paladins, after their second loss of the year | to ETSU. This game will be critical in | determining whether ASU can remain in , the Southern Conference tide race. Moore said, 'We still have our primary 2 goal (of) a Southern Conference champi­ onship, but we realize we don't control ; ^ of the things in achieving that goal, 1 that someone will have to help us." Appalachian will first have to help themselves, although seeing the purple and white of the visiting squad should i "ting a smile to the faces of Appalachian's : defense. In the 1995 contest, they tied a ; School record with 11 total sacks, and four P'ayers each had two sacks in their con­ test with Furman. The game should not be easy for the ; Mountaineers, however. Furman returns 14 starters this season, among them quar­ terback Braniff Bonaventure, who just | tt'ght be the best quarterback in the con| erence this year. He scorched the Moun­ / Page 9 Damon Scott will need to rush for more than 22 yards this week if ASU hopes to win (photo by Robert Parriott) taineers last year for 225 yards, although his two interceptions helped lead ASU to a 41-28 win in Greenville. Moore said, "We are facing a much improved, very good football team this week. We have to continue to work hard, focus, and correct the mistakes we made last week." One focus will be to get the rushing attack going once more. Against ETSU, Appalachian managed only 69 yards rush­ ing. Tailback Damon Scott, who entered the game averaging 6.4 yards per carry, averaged only 1.8 yards per carry last weekend. The same problems can be an­ ticipated with Furman. According to Scott, "I'm sure they're going to try and stop our runs." One bright spot in the loss to the Bucs was the passing game, which finally showed signs of life. Quarterback Gerard Hardy completed 17 of 28 attempts for 230 yards. Hardy had success against Furman last year, with 214 yards of total offense, rushing for 160 yards and passing for an additional 54 yards. "We've got the meat of the schedule coming up. Teams we're going to face....they're going to be as good as ETSU," said Scott. "We're going to go out and do the things we've got to do to win the rest of our games." Furman enters the contest with a 4-1 record, losing only to Atlantic Coast Con­ ference rival Clemson. The Paladins are 2-0 in conference play, having defeated Western Carolina 45-30 in their most re­ cent contest. ASU has won the last two match-ups with Furman, but the Paladins own the series with a 16-6-3 advantage over Ap­ palachian all-time. Rugby improves to 3-0 with win over Davidson Danny Sink Staff Writer The AHO Rugby team racked up anher win this past Saturday against the hitting guys from Davidson. With e 12-10 victory, the men of AHO move 0 3-0 on the year. The victory was not a dominating one 'y any means. The Apps repeatedly comKted knock-ons (a turnover resulting from the ball hitting any part of the body besides the feet and going forward). What the offense lacked, the defense more than made up for. The team did an excellent job of putting the hard hits on Davidson and coming up with some stops of their own. With about 20 minutes left in the first half, the AHO team finally broke into the try zone, taking a 5-0 lead. The extra points kick failed. The Davidson team was pressing for the remainder of the first half, lingering around the try zone. The tough AHO team was not giving anything away, however, and held on to the lead through the first half. The second half did not start out well for the AHO team. Almost 10 minutes deep in the final period, Davidson put three points on the board with a 30 meter penalty kick, cutting into the five point lead the Apps enjoyed through the first half. The Mountaineers answered quickly, when Greg Tart fell on a short kick into the try zone for a five point score. With a succesful point after try kick, the score was pushed to 12-3. With about 10 minutes left on the The Appalachian State Cross Country team has been one of the brightest spots in Mountaineer athlet­ ics so far this fall season. Through the first three meets, the Mountaineers are undefeated and have only really been challenged by Western Carolina. The six-team meet in Blowing Rock on Sept. 7 was the beginning of the winning streak for the Mountain­ eers. ASU won by an 18 point mar­ gin, 48-30, over UNC-Charlotte. The Mountaineers were led by sophomore Will Dickerson of Easely, S.C. who fin­ ished first overall with a time of 25:41. Senior Stephen Thacker of Burnsville finished third, junior Judd Sarver of Virginia Beach, Va. finished fifth, and freshman Anthony Famiglietti of Medford, N.Y. finished sixth to round out the top 10. The men's cross country team then traveled to Cullowhee to compete in the Catamount Classic. ASU once again prevailed, this time by a margin of36-33 over Western Carolina. Once again the Mountaineers were led by Dickerson who placed first overall ai d Thacker who finished fifth. Their most recent meet occurred on Oct.5 in Blowing Rock. The threeteam meet included Western Carolina and Brevard. Western Carolina made it a close meet, but ASU had just a bit to much depth and squeaked out a 5755 victory. So far this season, ASU is looking like the team to beat, as Dickerson has recorded three first place finishes in the first three meets. The Mountain­ eers will next compete in Charlotte at the North Carolina Collegiate Cham­ pionships on Oct. 19 in hopes of show­ ing why they are undefeated. clock, Davidson would put their last points on the board with a try of their own. The kick after was good and the score became 12-10. Davidson continued to threaten throughout the game, and missed a golden opportunity to take the lead off of a penalty kick. With the win, the AHO team will take their perfect record into their next con­ ference match against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons on Nov. 2. The next chance to catch the AHO team in action will be on Oct. 27 at 1 p.m. in an alumni game at State Farm Field.

Tonight, the Mountain­ eers host the Georgia State University Panthers in what will prove to be a tough non-conference battle. The Panthers dropped Appalachian 5-1 in Statesville, Ga. last year and come to Boone with 11 returning letter winners from that team. Forward Kara Fitzgerald and Angela Kelly will lead the Geor­ gia State attack for coach Jodie Smith. App Head Coach Tracy Davis sees this game as one of the most important of the '96 campaign. "We need to get back on track for the home stretch of our season," said Davis. "Georgia State has a good squad and will be a tough test for our group. Hope­ fully we can win this one and get some momentum back in our favor." Tonight's game with the Panthers will set the stage for a key conference battle coming up on Saturday, Oct. 19th. The Furman Paladins ven­ ture up to Boone for a match that has important conference tournament implications. The Paladins enter play this week with a 2-1 record in the Southern Conference and are sched­ uled to play conference foes Georgia Southern and UT-Chattanooga this week. The Mountaineers trail Furman by one vic­ tory in the win column and a win over the Pala­ dins will help determine where some teams will fall in the brackets for the upcoming Southern Con­ ference Tournament at Davidson, Nov. 8th-10th. "A win against Furman would certainly make things interesting come tournament time, but we can't get ahead of ourselves," remarked Davis. "We need to take our season one game at a time from here on out and that begins with tonight's game against Georgia State."

People would point to e as proof that "girls can't play football." jr a month before practice started, I was ihysically ill every time I thought about ; or went past the school. I woke up evjy game morning with butterflies in my omach, but still I persevered. I was once asked what my greatest ootball accomplishment was. I didn't iave a ready answer. I couldn't really hink of anything at the time. If that per;0n asked me again, I would tell them that ,y greatest accomplishment was the fact lat I played. I went out there as the only male and did something that no one else ad dared to do before. The season (and my football career) :nded with a knee dislocation the Moniay before our last game. We were doing pprints where we had to carry someone 50 yards. I had someone of equal weight, >ut he was shorter than I was. At the 50rard line, I squatted to let him down and my knee gave way. I had to be taken to the hospital. Five months of surgery, im­ mobility and therapy followed. My foes pointed to this and said it proved girls shouldn't play football, but a lot of people mew better. I still haven't fully recovered rom my injury, and I never will, but know­ ing everything I know now, I would do it all again in a heartbeat. RS. I creamed one of the guys from he opposite team that was really rude to ne. To this day he is still teased about >eing run over by a girl. I just think about is and smile.

Until recently, the Office of De­ sign and Construction shared an office with Maintenance as part of Physical Planning. Dr. Clyde Robbins, Associate Vice Chancellor of Design and Construc­ tion, said the office of Business Affairs decided to separate the two because of "the increased volume of construction activity." "The function has always been there, it is just being set apart. Admin­ istration has decided to give that func tion more designation," Robbins said.

At the Student Fees Workshop held Thursday in I.G. Greer, a meeting open to all students, Vice Chancellor for Student Development Gregory Blimling explained how that number came about. "This session was the first step in the process to educate the students about where their money goes," said Student Government Association Vice President Todd Poole. Although Thursday's meting was open to all students, the only student body present were members of SGA. Poole y pes to get students more involved in determining where their money is going in the future. "We're going to try to have a fo­ rum where all students can come and give their input," Poole said. The total amount students paid for tuition alone for the 1996-97 school year, $874.00 for in-state students, was an amount determined by the institutions of North Carolina. Appalachian has no control over the amount charged for tu­ ition. However, the general fees, fees and charges related to liquidation of in­ debtedness, subsistence fees, and miscel­ laneous service charges are amounts de­ termined by the budget committee com­ prised of students. Once the committee has deter­ mined these figures, they come before the SGA and present their final amounts. The state determines how much they think universities should be allotted each year. Of the money that the state gives the uni­ versity, Appalachian must reimburse two percent of it. In other words, for every dollar the state gives the university, we must give the state two cents. A recent report revealed that five state universities (Appalachian State, UNC-Chapel Hill, UNC-Wilmington, UNCGreensboro, and Eastern Carolina) are underfunded. In order to make up for this discrepancy, the state gave Appalachian See Fees page 2 Military science students finish cleanup duties Jeremy Ball Staff writer Although Hurricane Fran's path spared mountain communities, there were students on Appalachian's campus for whom the sound of howling winds down the mountain meant a call to duty. These students were members of the North Carolina National Guard. Gov­ ernor Jim Hunt called many units of the Guard into involuntary active duty to as­ sist with cleaning up, disaster relief and controlling looting in the aftermath of one of the worst storms North Carolina has seen. Master Sergeant Beasley, an in­ structor with the military science depart­ ment, said that students are not usually required to go on active duty. But with this disaster, there were seven students from the military science department alone who were called to participate with the relief efforts. Sonja Lynch, a junior from Ra­ leigh, got her call on Sept. 10. Her job as the videographer with a public affairs unit allowed her to see first-hand the effects of the storm. She said that news reports have not done justice to the amount of dam­ age that was done to the coast and to ar­ eas like Raleigh. She said that Topsail Is­ land, where the eye of the hurricane passed, was "totally demolished." Beasley said that most of the stu­ dents called to service returned within a week. Students who are called into active duty are officially excused from classes. But, one student, Sherry Boggs, missed so many classes that she decided to drop all of them except her military science classes. Despite the inconvenience that missing a week of classes caused Lynch, she said that her professors were "really supportive." And she says that being a member of the National Guard has given her experiences and benefits which she would never have gotten otherwise. She said that even her time out of school al­ lowed her to do, first hand, exactly what she is studying here. Lynch said "None of us join re­ ally thinking we'll get deployed." She said that most students join because of the benefits, like help with paying for college.

According to Assistant Director of Physical Plant Operations Doug Cnipe, as soon as each office has moved into the new building, they will be fully opera­ tional. For students who need to reach these offices, Cnipe suggests that they call the office first to see which building they are located in. The phone number for each of­ fice will ring in both the old and in the new building," said Cnipe. According to Carol Wright of the financial Aid Office, the phones have been transferred to the new office, and atudents have had no difficulty getting through. Fees continued from front page $1.4 million in reversion money, which the university can only use one time. Auxiliary enterprises, which makes up 31.79 percent of tuition and fees, goes toward funding services and activi­ ties the university provides for students. Health Services, Residence Halls, Student Union operations, the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership and several other offices are absorbent, meaning that they are totally self-sufficient. According to Dr. Blimling, "AH of the money that you have in your budget, none of it comes from the state of North Carolina, all of it is through student fees. If we don't get student fees, we don't have a budget." Auxiliary enterprises also con­ tains reserves which are used in the case of accidents of students on campus.

The money came out of the reserves in the auxiliary fund. The student fees other than tu­ ition are comprised of general fees, which include education and technology fees, athletics, health services and student ac­ tivities. Included in the athletics fee is a $3 charge which goes towards reimburs­ ing the university for the marching band uniforms. These uniforms cost the uni­ versity between $80,000 and $90,000. The health services fee includes renovation to the infirmary, overnight care, and x-rays. The student activity fee goes toward paying for services such as education and recreational programs, intermurals, student copies of transcripts, transportation and the Student Union. The total amount students pay for gen­ eral fees is $634.50. The fees and charges related to liquidation of indebtedness is money that goes towards paying student center rev­ enue bonds, food services facility at Trivette Hall, the addition to Owens Field House and its student center, and the re­ placement of artificial surfaces at Kidd Brewer Stadium. This amount is subject to change each year because as soon as the university finishes paying off the cost of building a structure, the cost will drop off. The total cost this year is $789.50. The university finished paying off the Varsity Gym last year, so the fees related to liquidation and indebtedness dropped $22.

Fifteen bucks for Astroturf? Just about everyone has heard of outrageous financial finagling like $22 hammers paid for with United States tax money. Did you know that you have been basically finagled out of $15 this year to pay for new Astroturf at Kidd Brewer Stadium as part of your Student Fees? Surprised? We sent a staff member to the recent "Student Fee Workshop" sponsored by the Student Govern­ ment Association to find out what the heck is go­ ing on. Basically, Appalachian students will pay $634.50 this year in Student Fees. Want to know where exactly this money goes? First of all, $179 goes to the Athletic Depart­ ment. This money gets you into sporting events like basketball and football games for free; uhless, of course, the event is a playoff game. Next, pay $145 to Health Services which basi­ cally gets you into the Infirmary. It also gets you most prescriptions for free although there are small charges for condoms and birth control pills. Your Student Activity Fee for the year is $246.50. This goes to groups like A.RRS. which provide entertainment and other programs for stu­ dents. Other places this money goes are to the Marching Band, this newspaper, Club Sports and to 90.5, The APR This fee also helps subsidize Cul­ tural Affairs which brings the Forum and Perform­ ing Arts series to campus. The rest of the money goes to other activity-related programs. The Educational and Technology Fee is $64. This gets you an email account and access to com­ puter labs all over campus. We understand that running a public univer­ sity is expensive. We would definitely concur that most student really enjoy their time at Appalachian, thus Student Fees usually pay off. However, there are definitely some students who are hurt by the extra expense. For example, did you know that you will be charged $22 this year which will go to pay off J Trivette Hall as part of the "Debt Service Fee" which is separate from the regular Student Fees? How I about the $12 for the addition to Owens Field House or the $100 to help finance additions to the Stu­ dent Union? Maybe you didn't know that you will pay $15 this year to help the Athletic Department pay for the new Astroturf artificial grass covering that is now in place at Kidd Brewer Stadium. The point is that students are not told how much they pay for different things because the uni­ versity knows that they would probably have ob­ jections. Many students we know could find what they would consider to be better uses of their money than on funding Astroturf.

I, along with about 25,000 others, finally saw the one group of musicians that have had more influ­ ence and affect on me than any others, a little band called Pearl Jam. Like many prototypical Gen-Xers I fell in love with Pearl Jam after listening to their already immortal­ ized album Ten and seeing their powerful video for 'Jeremy". Since that time I have been one of millions of people around the globe who consider Pearl Jam their favorite band. After seeing them in concert Friday night those feelings have been reinforced even stronger. Their performance was every bit as powerful as I had ex­ pected. For me the highlights included their rendi­ tions of "Corduroy", my favorite song of all-time, "Rearviewmirror", "State of Love and Trust" and the longest version of "Porch" that I've ever heard. When the house lights started coming on during their final number "Yellow Ledbetter" two and a half hours later I was still wanting more despite the fact that I'd been standing for over five hours. It was at about that time that another feeling began to hit me besides the fulfillment of finally see­ ing them and the disappointment that it was over. It was a feeling of uncertainty that crept into me. It had taken me five years after all to see them for the first time. Now I began to wonder when, if ever, I Viewpoint By Mike Daniels Sports Editor will get to see them again. In their struggle to keep their ticket prices down to do right by their droves of fans, the band is actu­ ally doing more bad for them than good. Because of their refusal to use the giant Ticketmaster corpora­ tion which basically controls the sale of tickets to major events and venues nationally, Pearl Jam has had an extremely difficult time putting on a tour for the last three years. In the summer of 1994 the only date the band played was before a House committee on corporate monopolies in which Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard were testifying against Ticketmaster. In 1995 Pearl Jam made about a dozen stops on the west coast and midwest and even cancelled some of those shows. This year, in support of their new album No Code the group is playing exacdy 11 shows, mostly on the east coast. To obtain tickets to any of these shows, fans had to go through an incredibly complicated process of calling a phone number over and over again for up to 25 minutes (that's how long it took for me) and then having to give the ticket company tons of per­ sonal information so that you could be given a secret reservation code which gave you the rights to pur­ chase the tickets through mail by check or money order. The ticket company handling the tour, FT8tT, is a small ticket firm outside of Philadelphia whose only client happens to be Pearl Jam. The company was hard to deal with or even get incontact with despite their 4,000 phone lines that they claimed would aleviate busy signals on the phone (yeah right). My point is this, Pearl Jam is a world-class band who whether or not they know, have a certain committment they must fulfill to their fans. Although the fact that they are trying to keep ticket prices low ($24 apiece) for their shows by eliminating expen­ sive service charges is great, it makes it extremely difficult for fans like myself to see them. I had to go through much aggravation getting and paying for the tickets, finding the nonTicketmaster venue (Memorial Stadium) and find­ ing a parking place near the stadium. I think I speak for many fans when I say that although I respect what the band is doing in their fight against big business, I would gladly have payed an extra ten or fifteen bucks to be able to see them more often and more conveniently. As it is right now, I am left to wonder if I will ever see my favorite band play again. Billy Graham crusade uplifting It was a Saturday evening , so it was no surprise to see buses and vans pulling into parking lots all across campus. After all, it was family day, and the big game against the Citadel was about to get under­ way. The surprise may have been the fact that stu­ dents were heading to Charlotte instead of to the sta­ dium. Scores of students were loading into cars, trucks, buses or whatever they could climb in, to make their way down to Erickson Stadium; not for a ball game, but for a religious experience. Billy Graham, the famous Christian evangelist, had made his way to the Carolinas for what many thought would be the last time. Reports of Graham's failing health drew scores of people who had always wanted to attend a crusade, but had not been able to or had thought they would catch it next time. Saturday night was meant to target the young people of the area, with appearances by D.C. Talk and Michael W. Smith, contemporary Christian mu­ sicians. These two groups put a twist on "lifting a joyful noise unto the Lord." With the upbeat pop and rap format of D.C. Talk, and the pop and soul style of Michael W. Smith, the fellowship time was made to seem exciting and more fun than the traditional stiff-necked sermon that nor­ mally fills the minds of young people when they hear the word "religion." After nearly an hour and a half of yelling and screaming in the typical concert fashion, a roar came from the back side of the stage.

Parity in NFL good for fans, bad for Cowboys and Niners sports commentary I can tell you from personal experi­ ence that there is nothing worse than watching the Super Bowl and being more excited about the new commercials than the actual game. For the past five years, the Super Bowl has been determined ba­ sically, by half-time. The Cowboy/49er dynasty has taken away the excitement of the playoffs and the Super bowl. Thank God for 1996. It finally looks as if there is no clear cut front runner from the NFC.

Appalachian golfer takes second in field of 62 David Jackson Staff Writer Appalachian State University women's golf team started their season this year with a sixth place finish in the Lady Monarch Invi­ tational. The Invitational, which was held in Fayetteville this year, included 11 teams and 62 competitors. It was hosted by Methodist College, last year's NCAA Di­ vision III champion. Jennifer Taylor, a sophomore at Ap­ palachian from Vass, had a runner-up fin­ ish in the individual competition. Taylor's two-day total was 150 over 36 holes, two strokes shy of first place. According to Bill Dicus, director of golf, Taylor's per­ formance is "the highest finish we have; had iijthe last 10 years or so...".

Andy Jackins Dana PC Watson lights up Farthing ASU students participate in historic crusade Jeremy Ball Staff Writer Saturday night, the Doc was in the |°use. And it was a night that many lovs of acoustic music will not soon forlet. Doc Watson and Friends showed up Farthing Auditorium with guitars in and for a benefit concert to support the ost Polio Support Group of the High ountry. For those not familiar with Watson, is difficult to describe what type of lusic he plays. Does he play blues, bluerass, old-time or folk? Yes. Quite simly, if it can be played on the guitar, he lays it. And he plays it well. Although most of the audience probMy came to hear Watson, the event Urned out to be a festival of acoustic lusic with two incredible bands openig up for him. The first group was an old-time band lied Morning Dew. Old-time music is traditional music of the Appalachians, jut this band wasn't just for old-timers, he fiddler for the group, Alfred Mickels, 'owed the crowd with his expertise, and came as no surprise (except perhaps for lickels) when during the middle of one '°ng his bow broke. But the band played in and Mickels joined them to round out 1 set complete with bass, banjo, mandohi and accordion. The second band, Richochet, immehately put to rest a misconception that °nie members of the audience had by tiling the auditorium with the sounds of egrass. Apparently, a few had bought [heir tickets anticipating a country act. put what they saw instead was a group composed, mostly local boys, which is juickly becoming one of the rising stars n bluegrass music. Finally, the Doc appeared on stage. e joined up with his grandson Richard atson and friend Charles, to play a set ' mostly blues. But, the only blues that ls inspired came from not being able to lear longer. Between each song, members of the audience frantically Brad Wilkinson Reporter Who said old folks aren't cool? Ask the many students of Appalachian who traveled from far and near to hear the Rev. Billy Graham speak the weekend of Sept. 28 in Charlotte, and they will disagree. In fact, many of the students who attended the crusade held at Ericsson Stadium last Thursday through Sunday would probably say he is more ex­ citing than most people their age. That is because Dr. Graham is on a mission to spread Doc Watson brought his homeground music to Farthing on Saturday.

As a local superstar, it was an honor to have No apologies were needed. In preparation for the huge crowds, many large televisions were placed out­ side the stadium to allow the overflow of people to witness the performance of the musical guests and Graham's sermon. Reactions changed from cheers and sing­ ing to a standing ovation in the reverend's honor, upon his entrance. Tabin Youth intern for Mount Vernon Baptist Church, and full-time Appalachian student, Kyle W Connell, said he and other chaperones took 54 youth to be a part of the crusade which took two years to plan. Connell, who was among almost 85,000 others attending the event, said, "I don't think it would have been anything that it was, without the prayer put into it." Junior Appala­ chian student and Charlotte resident, Kerri L. Epps, had the show right in her backyard. The impression made on her was one of last­ ing nature. She said, "It was awe­ some to see that many people in one place worshipping God." Who needs popcorn and movie for entertainment, when all you have to do is go down the street? Though Dr. Graham will soon be call­ ing it quits on the touring scene, it ap­ pears his groupies will still revere his magnitude of honor and dignity. Senior Jeremy D. Keever, who attended the cru­ sade, said, "I thought the response given upon his stepping on stage was amazing. It wasn't just what he said, but who he is as well." Regardless of the beliefs of those around the world, surely all can respect the influence one man has had on the shaping of our planet. If it is difficult to see the global effects, why not take a look closer to home and the effects he has had on many students of ASU? CAR< OUNAS BUluGmham Wellness peer education eddresses issue of rspe Sandra Isley Reporter s 2 a.m. A male and a female have . walked in from a party where they ^ l , —"vu iiuiii jpdiiy wiieie uicy Jth i_ « . .. __ jA ^ave been drinking. He invites her come up to his room. Is this a booty /,./«a j call or what? This topic and others were discussed during a program sponsored by Wellness Peer Education, in which female students gathered in Belk Hall to discuss the sub­ ject of rape. The women all agreed that victims do not ask for it, they do not enjoy it and if the victim says "no" or "stop," and the other person continues on, then it is rape. Still, there were three areas that sparked controversy. The first one was, if a woman consents to having sex while under the influence of alcohol and then sobers up later and says the alcohol made her do it, is this rape? According to law yes! The victim was mentally impaired and can press charges. The next question is, should a woman fight back her attacker? Some said no. If he sets out to rape you, nothing is going to stop him from doing just that. Others agreed that if he does not have a knife at their throat, or a gun pointed at their heart, then he is in for one hell of a fight. The final question is, if a woman ob­ jects to having sex with you, but does not stop you verbally or in a nonverbal way from doing it, is this rape? Yes it is. Ac­ cording to law, if a person does not ver­ bally say, "yes," then it is considered rape. In other words, communicate! The national statistics given out by the federal government show that most rapes occur between midnight and 2 a.m. Vic­ tims are usually college age and of the conservative nature. The attacker is known by the victim in 68.7 percent of the reported cases. At the end of the meeting, the women came up with a list of five things that could lessen the chance of a person becoming a victim of rape. They were: 5. Know your own limits and do not go beyond them. 4. Be aware of signals. 3. Use clear communication. 2. Know your environment. 1. Say no! A final piece of advice to booty call­ ers: if you don't get a verbal "yes," then please remain dressed. �Page 6 The Appalachian 8 Qct( Super Crossword ACROSS 1 Jeremy's partner 5 Word on a fuse 9 Pierce 13 Sign of age 19 Roman of "Hee Haw" 20 Roman province 21 Falafel holder 22 Like lemons 23 — Bator 24 In addition 25 Gulf state 26 Queen Anne chair? 27 Err 31 Boston brew 32 Female fowl 33 Clear (ot) 34 Banned substance: abbr 37 Derrick or crane 41 Part of TGIF 43 Eye-related 46 Caviar 47 Happen next 48 Tribe 49 Author Antonia 51 He gives a hoot 52 Oarsman •5 SofAEoig /, 1 Little sifcE.ssfJv' 1 19 23 , 2 100 Looks like 53 Seraglio Lothario? 55 CPR provider 101 — Plaines, III 56 "Morella" 102 Takes on monogram 103 Cowboy 58 Nail type name 59 Rational 104 '92 US Open 60 Kate & — champ 62 Pancho's pal 105 Actress 65 Irish poet Caldwell 67 Where the 106 Norm buoys are 68 Singer John 107 Arkansas hrs. 69 Mil. address 109 Canonized Mile. 71 Err 111 Err 76 Cable 120 Jan of opera channel 123 Pickable 77 Faux pas 124 "Once — a 79 Dostoyevmidnight sky'sfrom dreary..."

After the win, the Apps felt pretty con­ fident as Georgia Southern came up the mountain. Unfortunately, the Eagles knocked every ounce of confidence that Appala­ chian had built up in a short, 90 minute period. The Eagles jumped out to a 1-0 lead 14 minutes into the game and never looked back. Freshman forward Tara Chaisson re­ corded a hat trick, scoring three of the first four Geor­ gia Southern goals.

According to the Boone police report, the assailants used heavy-duty flashlights as well as golf clubs to attack the Sigma Nu brothers. The report also stated that there was substantial damage done to four vehicles parked at the house, which is located at 302 Faculty St. D.J. Wanchick, a member of Sigma Nu as well as an eyewitness, said the fight broke out around 2:30 a.m. when a fraternity pledge was approached by an individual outside of the house. The assailant then allegedly hit the pledge with a flashlight. A group of 25 to 30 people had just returned to the house from a party, and there was no apparent motive for the The Sigma Nu Bluehouse " was the site of an attack early Saturday morning.

Borkowski addressed the Student Gov­ ernment Association. In his special report to the sen­ ate, Borkowski highlighted factors affect­ ing Appalachian State University's finan­ cial outlook. Specifically, the chancellor discussed the concept of "equity funding." According to Borkowski, Appa­ lachian is one of five state universities not receiving equity fund­ ing. Equity funding, which most state schools receive, would have added about $3.5 million to the 1996-97 budget. Instead, the legislature allowed Appalachian to keep $1.4 million in "rever­ sion money," an esti­ mated two percent of Borkowski the annual budget which the university would normally return to the state. He said that the university would propose a "very complex" formula to the state legislature on Nov. 15 in hopes of mak­ ing up for the $2.1 million difference in equity and reversion moneies. my preferences, tuition would never go as as "There is a competition up," Borkowski said. for a decreasing amount of state Borkowski also admitted that in­ 10 dollars," Borkowski said during creased enrollment, coupled with a new uhis report.

In the past, vol­ unteer groups have had instances in which group members do not show up for shifts, which disrupts the consistency of the pro­ gram. "We can't have that," Parker said. We need reliability from [volunteer] or­ ganizations." This need for a consistently safe and reliable service was pinpointed in a Resolution of Support proposed by an SGA committee on April 16,1996. The proposal states, 'The Student Government Association of Appalachian State University is a policy-making body and should not be liable or responsible for student safety. Mountaineer Escort, in its current form, is not meeting the full needs of the students." The resolution proposed that the service be moved to campus security, stat­ ing that paid employees would potentially make more efficient and reliable escorts. The proposal also said that un­ der the direction of security personnel, the program's hours could be extended. The service is currently offered to students from 7:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., Sunday through Thursday; if controlled by cam­ pus security, the proposal suggests that hours could be extended to 6:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. seven days per week. Although this legislation was ap­ proved by SGA last year, the shift is still "in the works," Parker said. SGA will con­ tinue to control the service until plans to give the program to security are finalized. "I'm going to try to do my job for the year," Parker said. "If it [the program] is moved over to security, I'd be more than willing to help move the program over there. This [program] is something we need on campus." Under the current system, Parker said, students in need of an escort may call the service at 262-6438, and a dis­ patcher will radio a van to pick students up at various campus locations. Parker said that SGA serves as a sponsor for the program and asks for vol­ unteers from the university to volunteer their time to serve as escorts. Parker said that SGA mainly looks to campus organi­ zations who wish to use the program as an opportunity to volunteer for a group service project. Currently, six organizations, in­ Brad Walser(left) and Michael Abate(right) make their rounds on the job with cluding SGA, provide volunteers to the Mountaineer Escort.

Pemocracy requires action Here at The Appalachian, we think it is very important to exercise your right to vote. Living in 3 democracy means that citizens must participate in their nation's electoral process in order to be fairly represented. We realize that we've had many articles and editorial columns about the subject of voting so far this semester, but also strongly believe that college students not only should feel obligated to vote, but also that they should be proud of doing so. One stumbling block does exist that could pos­ sibly hinder the voting process here in Watauga County. Where do Appalachian students need to go to vote? The answer to that question in years past has always been Boone #2 at the First Baptist Fellow­ ship hall on King Street and Boone #3 at the Agri­ cultural Center. We have one major complaint about the way that voting has been handled in this county so far. Where can students go to vote in an accessible place, dose to campus? There is no place in the town of Boone that has a larger concentration of people over the age of 18 than the Appalachian campus. The majority of stu­ dents live on-campus. There are over 2,000 fulltime faculty and staff working here. So, doesn't it makes sense that the Boone Board of Elections gets smart and creates a polling place on campus? We suggest that a voting place be created in the Student Union. The ballrooms downstairs are the perfect place for everyone on-campus to drop by long enough to vote. It just doesn't make sense that the one place where people of voting age are the most concen­ trated isn't a polling place. Putting the student in Student Programs We would like to commend the entire office of Student Programs for their decision to have a jury of people, including students, judge the art that will eventually be placed around the Student Union. David Robertson, Director of Student Programs and Phil Arnold, Student Union Manager, made the right decision when they chose to conduct the se­ lection of artwork using a jury. Here's how the process is going to work. First of all, Student Programs set aside about $41,500 in ,the building budget for artwork. They then solic'ited artwork which was looked over by an Appala­ chian alumnus. After he narrows down the field to a manageable number, the art will be put on dis­ play. On October 7 and 8, the art jury will view the pieces individually, as the members' schedules al­ low for it. They will then turn in their rankings to Arnold who will compile them and determine which artwork will become permanent parts of the Union. We think that this was the most appropriate way to handle the art selection because it focuses on what students want to see, like to see and would choose for their peers to view. It's time that other departments on this campus start giving students the input and respect that we deserve. After all, who pays to be here and who is paid to be here? Student Programs took a big step in the right direction. The Appalachian is published every Hiesday id Thursday of the academic year with the excep>n of selected holidays and breaks.

Phat slang deserves da' bomb I will admit, I am not exactly in touch with the rest of my generation. I have never been to a rave (I have heard what passes for music at these functions and it sounds like an IBM printer on the fritz) and I did not really mourn the death of Kurt Cobain (He was no Bob Segar). I have no desire to pierce any part of body (I have too many holes in my body as it is). I do not own any records by Hootie and the Blowfish or Snoopy Dog-Dog (I should not have to explain that one), and every time I see somebody walking around with their baseball cap on backwards, I have to giggle. It really makes me feel like a fish out of water sometimes. I would really like to understand all of the intricacies of my age group better, so that young people will think I am cool in 10 or 20 years when the "retro 90s" fad is in flower. Just imagine: "Hey guys, Bob's throwing a 90s party," they might say. I might even sport a vintage "mean people suck" sticker on the bumper of my 2005 Oldsmobile. But no, I will be just as alienated and misunder­ stood in the next millennium as I am now, because I just don't fit in. I suppose the one thing that really puzzles me about folks my own age is the way they talk. I can barely understand a word people say these days, and everything I do understand just makes me want to bloody people's noses. I always get funny looks when I say something is "a drag," or call someone "Daddy-o." We are just not speaking the same language. The following is a listing and commentaries on a few words and/or phrases that confuse me. If those of you who actually talk like this feel that I am mak­ ing fun of you, make no mistake. Of course I am. • "Mack Daddy" or "the Mack": This seems to mean Down Home with Bob by Bob Hutton Columnist a person or thing that is especially cool. I first heard this phrase in high school in a rap song (that phrase being a contradiction in and of itself) by those two 13-year-olds that wore their pants backwards. I imagine they might now be standing beside the interstate holding up a sign that reads, "will rap for food." That is not especially cool. • 'The Bomb": This also seems to mean a person or thing that is especially cool. Like most students here, I am a child of the Cold War, and I was brought up to fear "the bomb." But thanks to Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II, who defeated the menace of Soviet communism, we can now smile and tell our friends that the new Beastie Boys album is a nuclear warhead. Exercise your freedom America. • "Fat" (I realize that you're suppose to spell it with a super cool 'ph' but I'm not going to give you the satisfaction): Yet another one that means a person or thing that is especially cool, except that this time it's an adjective. You would think that in the slim and trim 90's, saying that something or someone is over­ weight would not be much of a compliment. Such are the intricacies of American youth culture. • "Awesome": Egad, one more that refers to a per­ son or thing that is especially cool. This one is al­ most justifiable since it is a real word. Still, I hardly ever hear it applied to anything truly deserving of awe. Maybe people are more easily awed than they used to be. Who said we were a generation of cyn­ ics? • "Jonesing": To have a great craving or inclination for or toward something. For instance, "I'm jonesing to vote for Jesse Helms in November" (the preceeding statement was made to supply The Appalachian with even more angry letters about Jesse Helms). My correspondent at Roanoke College in Salem, Va. once told me that this trendy little verbal morsel was in reference to the Grateful Dead standard, "Casey Jones." Maybe now you will think about it before you say it. • "Dude": This usually just means a guy, but it can also be a way of expressing inordinate excitement or profoundness at the beginning of a sentence (e.g., "Dude, I really like sour apple Jolly Ranchers"). • "All-Good": To say it's "all good" is another way of saying, "it's okay" or, "it's alright" (as in, "I just vom­ ited on your oriental rug dude, but it's all- good"). This phrase is misleading because it implies that, no matter what happens, we are enveloped in an aura of universal benevolence. Not to mention, it sounds like the name for a bran cereal ("try new 'All Good' and never be irregular again"). I guess now that I think about it, being alienated from my generation is not so bad after all. In fact, I like it better this way. So the next time some guy with a backwards UNC cap and a six pack of Icehouse vomits on my boots and tells me "It's all-good," I will bloody his nose. How do you like that, Daddy-o? Judicial affairs should remain closed clearly defined by anyone on either side. In the end, the university started giving the press access to crime reports. After the publication receives the report, it is mainly up to the editor to decide if the names of vic­ tims or suspects are used. In my opinion, any ethical paper will not print the names of victims. Since journalists won this little battle, some now feel they must wage another small war. This time, they want to do battle with judicial affiars at Appala­ chian because their sessions are closed to the public. The university's judicial affairs office handles cases which deal with violations of the student con- university judicial board of faculty and students will hear the case and decide if the student did or did not commit the violation.

It is not earthshattering news to anyone who has been to college. I personally do not want to read the names of every person who has committed an alcohol violation while in school. There is not enough ink for that. Sessions should remain closed because students are not being treated unfairly by judicial affairs. First of all, every student receives the student code of con­ duct booklet in their mail every year. All the pos­ sible violations are at a student's fingertips so they cannot say no one ever told them. Judicial affairs also provides students with coun­ selors throughout the whole process. Students are fully informed about the judicial process. Also, once the case is heard, the files are closed and it is never spoken of again by anyone on the judicial board. It does not follow a student for the rest of his or her life; but if their name is printed in the paper for committing a violation on campus, then you and I know it will come back to haunt them. Journalists are called the "Watchdogs" of gov­ ernment, but in this case, they nd£d to be kept on a leash. No narcs is bad news To the editor: I found the article on "No Narcs Is Good News" (September 19) quite interesting reading. The one and only part I agree with is, there shouldbe no need to have Narcs running around. However, since drugs do present a problem in our society and for your information, is against the law. One section you refered to said "... a bad solu­ tion to a minor problem" and then goes on to say "...there was a big drug bust in East Hall". This appears to me to be an oxymoronic statement. A "MINOR" problem but yet a "BIG" drug bust. Now it might be a small percentage of the cam­ pus population involved with illegal drug usage. If they wish to use drugs, they can go elsewhere. Like Bothun has ignorant views To the Editor: Those who believe an apathetic disposition is a self preserving or altruistic attidtude towards life are ignorant of their history and of our present state. Daniel Bothun in his article "In defense of apathy" states "in the big schematic of life, the only thing that really matters is your own well being." Mr. Bothun wake up and smell the Java...good morning my fellow generation Xer...whoa boy! Look kere, with billions of folks on earth one's legacy is not left by sitting in front of the tube being apathetic. Furthermore, one with his attitude is ungrateful to those who made sacrifices for the privileges we have today. In all fairness, Mr. Bothun's article makes a great case for being a participant and not a parasite on this great earth. If one were to be active and in tune with present societies, one would undewrstand that Sally Struthers' "sickly little kid in Africa" was not born to "two people who were too poor or stupid to use birth control." That child was was born to two intelligent humans who exist in a third world nation with little valuable resources. One would understand that individuals are to some degree .at the mercy of the wills of nature, the economy, and to the class to which they are born. This st atement applies to all who suffer social, economic, and physical woes. People every day are being degraded by other people. Our wounds to the environment must be healed. Hardworking people are not being repaid the health, wage, and respect a working person has earned. We have governmental structures, religious structures, and economic structures that are not meeting the needs of the population. I can go on and on. I do not want to leave this world as I came into it nor do many in this world. I was "born between urine and feces" and I will leave on a rosy past for I know that what small or large contribution I make it is a step towards the dignity and perpetuation of the human race.

Student and national artist featured at Smith Gallery ^ Bradley Decker Reporter I) to IS of etc l0'i The Sigrid Erica Casey display, com­ bined with The Student Invitational, form a rich, aesthetic experience that can be :°n enjoyed right here on campus. :Vf! The Catherine J. Smith Gallery just opened these new exhibits last Friday. tven though both are very different col. tactions, they have much to be admired, specially since this exceptional art has ten created by both a gifted, national :ist and fellow students here on this impus. Sigrid Casey is a national artist from irtland, Oregon and much of her work lisplays her message of ecological reinsibility and restoration. The exhibit at Farthing Auditorium expounds on the relationship of people and nature in our culture. Hank Foreman, the director of the Katherine J. Smith Gal­ lery, compliments the exhibit by saying, The images are poetic and offer glimpses through symbols in our cultural relation­ ship with the natural world." This campus provides a perfect envi­ ronment for an exhibit on the conserva­ tion of the world, since the student body has such an interest and takes an active part in community preservation. And Sigrid is in a persuasive position to moti­ vate people through her art to be aware and responsible of the environment. She doesn t identify herself as a tree-hugges, because she doesn't think pushing the poli­ ticians is practical for her. She motivates people in a much more subtle way, through her art. She explains, "Whether we like it or not, we are the species in control; this is what we have to work with. If we don't pay attention to take care of it, we will desolate the Earth." As she waved her hands, she made an analogy of how we don't want a McDonald's on every comer, even though this is what is happening. We have to take responsibility and action. "The images are poetic and offer glimpses through symbols in our cultural relationship with the natural world." -Hank Foreman Smith Gallery Director Through her fetish for dead birds, hands and globes that she uses through­ out her works, she sends the conserva­ tion message. The works can be labeled as digital electrostatic print. They are made through a procession of color Xeroxing. New Club seeks to address social issues *•1 Jeremy Ball Staff Writer If you watch television, read the news or just walk down King Street, it is im­ possible to ignore the fact that there are pressing social issues which surround stu( dents every day; yet they are not being addressed. But maybe as a student, you have been reluctant to promote change, be­ cause the word "activism" conjures up frightening images of paramilitary hit squads; or you just don't feel like you fit in with any of the organizations on cam­ pus. Or, perhaps you find yourself frus­ trated because your organization just isn't doing enough. If so, there's a club on campus that is Ilooking for you. The newly-formed Com•munity Action Corps is a student club which seeks to promote cooperation on campus to address social issues and cre­ ate awareness among students. Amy E. Cook, a senior from Raleigh, and the club's president, says that the goal of the club is to "draw volunteer organi­ zations together" to address the many so­ cial issues which concern students and surround the campus and community. What distinguishes this club from the other organizations which are already on campus is that its goal is not to promote just one political view or social concern, but to be a venue for all students on cam­ pus who are concerned about the prob­ lems that surround us. Cook says that club members "recognize each other's strengths," and use the ideas of everyone. Peggy Setzer, the director for A.C.T. and the club's advisor, says that the for­ mation of the club was a grass roots ac­ tion. It was formed by concerned students and it continues to be run in the same spirit that formed it. It addresses the issues that students care about. The group co-sponsored the cleanup of the Environmental Studies Area on Sept. 22. In early October, they plan on participating in a project with the Kindred of the Wild Animal Sanctuary, doing con­ struction and cleanup. Later in the month, they are participating in a warm blanket drive. The blankets will be dis­ tributed around Watauga County and to the Hospitality House. The group also makes weekly visits with the elderly at the Glenstone Health Care Center. Future activities include: alternative breaks, cooperation with the Samaritan's Purse, and a potluck to benefit migrant workers in Ashe County. The group is also sponsoring the sleep-out on Sanford Mall. But, Cook says that nothing can be done without more people power. The club is desperately looking for all the members that it can find, because there are so many issues that need to be ad­ dressed. The club was formed be­ cause the need was so great to get more students involved. It meets every Thurs­ day at 6 p.m. in room 208 in Sanford Hall. Students do not need to feel intimi­ dated by all of the activity in the club, though. Cook says that it is a non-pres­ sure group that assumes nothing. And, she says that the main focus of the club is to have fun with each other while work­ ing to address important issues.

Darin Glass Reporter The question is whether or not two best friends can live to­ gether in the same apartment? This question is answered in the "Odd Couple" by Neil Simon. Yet, this odd couple is different because instead of Felix and Os­ car, it is Florence and Olive. The "Odd Couple" can be related to by college students more so because of the tight spaces and confinements that we put ourselves through with roommates. The two, Florence and Ol­ ive, are friends who come to live together when Florence's hus­ band leaves her. The pantyhose start flying once the sloppy Ol­ ive starts to realize the insane cleaning habits of "Flo." The very colorful cast brings the individuality of each character to life. Olive, played by Angie Light, and Florence, played by Amy Harrison, go together like peas and carrots. The tough, sarcastic New Yorker atti­ tude bleeds through as Olive comes up with new names for her "Mr. Clean" room­ mate. The frail housewife Florence is paralyzed when she tries to walk up a step. Along with the roomies are "the girls" who come over to get stumped for Trivial Pursuit night, and the upstairs neighbors, Jesus and Manolo. The two brothers from Spain add a love interest and a Spanish/ English dictionary to the already colorful team. "The Odd Couple" is a nice perspec­ tive of two women who struggle to keep sanity through trying to live together. Photo courtesy of Theater and Dance Dept. The Odd Couple" The play runs through Oct. 2-6 at Valborg Theatre. Tickets are $3 for students and $5 for others.

Then the same picture was laid on the machine and copied over and over. The final products are eccen­ tric collages. A key to understanding what she is saying in her exhibit is to go through the exhibit with the thought that you are from another planet. She advises you to go into it thinking, "you're not an inhabitant of the 21st century Earth, but you're an in­ habitant of another planet, and walking into a natural museum of another planet." The Upstairs Gallery features an exhi­ bition of students' work from the ASU an depanment, called The Student Invita­ tional. The students' levels in this exhibit range from foundation classes to senior studio classes. It also contains a variety of all types of an, ranging from oil paintings to mixed media art; an that combines many differ­ ent techniques. The show was put together to recog­ nize some of the superb an that was pro­ duced by students, and to introduce new students to the depanment. The talent shows in each piece. "Dreamscape," by Steve Seven, expresses strong meaning, through the painting of an aerial view of nuclear missiles flying above two ritzy mansions. The houses are completely secluded in their lawns. Another work is a sculpture of a book which has open pages all around it. The book speaks about depression and sui­ cide. A viewer, Julie Humphrey, said at the opening Friday, 'The diversity is very impressive." The gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. These two exhibits will run until Oct. 25.

The Mountaineers, who have reeled off three straight victories since their sea­ son-opening loss to I-A Wake Forest and are third in the conference standings, are averaging a whopping 277 yards per game I rushing. Tailback Damon Scott, the sec­ ond leading rusher in the nation, is rap'idly approaching 1,000 rushing yards on the season, with 647 in only four games. Appalachian looks to continue their ground dominance against a much im­ proved Buccaneer defense. ETSU is al­ lowing 18 points per game, down from their 28 points per game average of a year ago. That average drops to 9.4 points per game if the Bucs' loss to East Carolina sports commentary University is excluded. ASU Head Coach Jerry Moore knows that it will be difficult for the Mountain­ eers to gain their 15th consecutive victory over the Bucs. Moore said, "Obviously, East Tennessee is on a roll right now. They 'are clicking on all cylinders, both offen­ sively and defensively, and we have always ,been in tough, hard-fought, emotional games with them the past four years." The Mountaineers' young secondary jwill be given their hardest test of the sea­ son when they face the Bucs' senior quar- terback Greg Ryan, who threw for 2,473 'yards last season. His arm has led ETSU |to a 36 point -per-game average in 1996. Appalachian defensive back Elando I The Mountaineers' Spencer Reeves hopes to hold this pose in the end-zone again this weekend when ASU battles ETSU (photo by Robert Parriott) Johnson called the Buccaneers "a great ball club" that is "turning their (team) around... with their passing attack and they're very successful at it." In fact, the Bucs are so successful that they lead the Southern Conference in passing this year. Of course, the Mountaineers are leading the conference in rushing and East Ten­ nessee State is last in the conference in rushing defense. Moore said that the Mountaineers "...have to eliminate mistakes, take care of the ball, improve in our execution in all phases of the game, and keep them from controlling the tempo and momen­ tum." This game should create a little less room at the top of the Southern Confer­ ence standings. Currently, ETSU leads the conference with a 2-0 record, while Ap­ palachian, Furman University and Marshall University are all a half game back with 1-0 records. The game will be the fourth evening contest of the sea­ son for Appalachian, with game time set for 7:00 p.m. ASU owns a 26-11-1 series advantage ver the Bucs, dating to 1928, the first sea­ son of intercollegiate football at Appala­ chian. The Mountaineers have a 14-game winning streak in the rivalry icluding a 30-23 win last year on Family Day at Ap­ palachian in which quarterback Greg Ryan completed 22 passes for 270 yards and two touchdowns. The Mountaineers scored 14 points in the fourth quarter of that game for the win after being behind the entire contest. (Women's soccer ties East Carolina in rainstorm Eric Ehlers Staff Writer l The ASU women's soccer team hoped to put an end to their two game losing streak this weekend. The women trav­ eled down to Asheville to compete in a tournament at UNC-Asheville. The Apps first obstacle was a 3-4 East Carolina team. Both ASU And ECU scored in the first half of this game. ECU scored first at the 25:45 mark. ASU then came back fast with a goal six minutes later by Abby Diven, of Clarks Summit, Pa. The goal was set up on an assist by Allison Osborne, of Raleigh, NC. The first half would end with both teams deadlocked in a 1-1 tie. The second half of the team was a big defensive effort by both teams. A steady downpour made playing conditions hor­ rible, and neither team was able to score in the half, causing the match to end in a 1-1 tie. The Mountaineers next opponent was host UNC-Asheville. The Apps had trouble on offense and defense in the first half, allowing the Bulldogs to score two goals in the half. UNC-Asheville also dominated on defense, allowing no shots on goal. The second half would not get much better for the Mountaineers. UNCAsheville would score three more goals in the half to put them up 5-0. The Moun­ taineers would again get nc shots on goal in this one. They would end up losing, with the final score of 5-0. The main reason for the loss was seen in the comparison of shots on goal. The Bulldogs dominated this by racking up 26 to ASU's 0. Kelly Guinn, of Atlanta, Ga., played admirably in goal, saving 11 shots. The Mountaineers will try again to get back in the win column when they face Radford Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in Kidd Brewer Stadium. The APP offering more than just music Kathy Beam Staff Writer Sports Feature Have something to say about Appala' chian State athletics? Need an outlet for |it? The API? 90.5 FM on the radio dial, has what you're looking for. Every Tues­ day from 7:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. The APP is to devoted ports, with two half-hour talk shows. I The first I show is "Around , [he Horn" hosted !y Chris Petersen, who is ,tlle assistant [Ports director SI for the APR The ®ain focus of the jh°w, which airs h°m 7-7:30, is to pver the sports "are at Appala°hian that don't "suaiiy get cov?6d by other sta­ ins in the area. "e first five Minutes of every [how is devoted ^Mountaineer athletics, with a fecial focus on he upcoming V games and scores of the women's teams. The rest of the show deals with Appala­ chian athletics, as well as state and na­ tional issues. The show takes calls, so ev­ eryone can get involved. The second show is hosted by sports director Brad Sherrill. Called "Mountain­ eer Football Show," his half hour deals with Appalachian State football and in­ cludes interviews with coaches and play­ ers, such as Damon Scott, who was this week's guest on the program. It also gives people the opportunity to call in with their questions about the football team. However, this is not the only thing the sports de­ partment at The APP does. 90.5 broadcasts all home foot­ ball games and they are looking to cover 70-75 percent of the women's and men's basketball g a m e s . Sherrill and Petersen also like to cover sports that don't get much media attention. They would like to try and do some re­ mote broad­ casts from wresding and baseball events. These would be just 10 or 15 minute segments at a time from the games. The APP is also known as one of the only outlets for women's athlet­ ics in North Carolina. Both Sherrill and Petersen are members of the Southern Con­ ference Media Association. With their dues, they are allowed to vote for pre­ season all-con­ ference players and awards, along with post­ season honors. They also attend annual confer­ ences where they get full access to locker rooms, coaches and players. Sherrill says they try to "be as profes­ sional as they can be." At football and basketball games, they receive the same treatment as the Charlotte Observer or the Appalachian Sports Network. Petersen said The APP has been a "great experi­ ence" for him. He has had the opportu­ nity to interview some popular people be­ cause of his job. He chatted with Matt Stevens, an Appalachian alumnus who now plays for the Buffalo Bills, about life in the National Football League and his knee injury. Petersen also talked to Rod Thorn, the vice president of the National Basketball Asso­ ciation. In sports, the en­ tire staff learns not only to broadcast sports, but they also learn pro­ duction. Sports people know about the "team concept" ac­ cording to Petersen, which means they know how to work well with and depend on other people. This makes them more pro­ ductive in the workforce. The focus of the whole staff of 22 people is to work together to put on a sports show that is pro­ fessional. All in all, their work is professionally done with an element of fun in it, accord­ ing to both Petersen and Sherrill. These guys put out quality shows that are ex­ tremely entertaining. So, tune in to the API? 90.5 FM, every Tuesday night from 7-8 p.m. and talk sports. In the words of a famous country music song, '"Ran out the lights, the competition's over." With the dropping of the checkered flag this past Sunday, fans had one last chance to embrace a winners and say good bye to an old friend. With the ceremonies under way, the Jeff Gordon car was raised to Victory Lane upon the roof of an infield build­ ing. The sounds of cheers and boos filled the air as the young champion climbed from his car. The last Winston Cup winner in the foreseeable future of the North Wilkesboro Speedway had been crowned. The crowd was large, as usual. No one wanted to miss the end of this great NASCAR tradition. Fans came from allover the countiy with their favorite driv­ ers' flags, T-shirts, and hats. Appalachian was no different. Rep­ resented by loyal race fans and those who wanted to experience the thrill of their first race at the track who was see­ ing a finale. The plan was to get up at up at 6 o'clock and head to the track. To get a good seat in the unreserved section you have to be there fairly early. After sleeping through the alarm and waking up at 9 o'clock, I did the flight of the bumble bee to get dressed and hit my truck seat running. After waiting in a line for more than an hour to get parked I started for the track, a quarter mile from that mud hole that passed for a parking lot. Thanks to a friendly scalper I passed over the usual unreserved sec­ tion and got an excellent $55 dollar seat for a mere $30. Some guys have all the luck. With the most famous words in rac­ ing announced, "Gentlemen, start your engines," the roar of the powerful V-8 engines echoed through the mountains of Western North Carolina. The fans rose to their feet as the pace car pulled to pit road and the race was on. The first of the four hundred laps was in the books and the young upstart champion was in the lead. The beating and banging was on, and so was the beginning of the end of North Wilkesboro. Paint was being traded, donuts applied to the doors of the hard charging power houses, and some bumper to bumper heart racing action. When it came down to the last hun­ dred laps there were really two names on everyone's lips, Dale Earnhardt and Jeff Gordon. Gordon had the lead and Earnhardt seemed to be closing with about 20 laps to go. Traffic came into play and let Earnhardt draw ever closer until he himself fell victim to the same ailment. The race over, the fans slowly started for their cars to wait in line for another couple of hours to make their way solemnly home. -* f As I started out of the of the old track, a place that had seen 50 years of NASCAR racing, I heard *Auld Lang Syne" come over the PA, I laughed to myself, "Fitting, don't you think?" Just as an old year passes on and we wel­ come a new year in with this same song, we usher out an old NASCAR tradition and wonder of the future that is left in its wake. There are about a thousand differ­ ent rumors running around about the future of the track. Of these there are two that are given the most substantia-, tion. 1 First, that Earnhardt may buy the track from the two co-owners and at­ tempt to get the Busch Series, "fruck Series, and possibly even another Win­ ston Cup Race. The other is that the very men that sold the track out may attempt to make amends with the NASCAR community by bringing in the Grand National and Truck Series themselves:! 'I£ True, none of these have been set in stone (heck they're not even set iff mud), but they are lie rumors; urging around the future of the short-track called North Wilkesboro. r �Date October 7 October 14 October 21 & 22 October 28 November 4 Topic Let's Talk About Sex Birth Control Options for the 90's Stress Management Hypnosis "He Said, She Said Communications & Relationships November 11 Conflict Resolution November 18 & 19 Stress Management November 25 "Breaking Up is Hard to Do" Presenter Denise Glassman Terrie Varga Kit Olson Tom Stanger Susie Greene ACT staff members are currently meeting with students who are interested in volunteering for community service.

Flu season hits Appalachian early Joli Oliver Staff Writer Appalachian State University Health Services is gearing up for an early flu season, anticipating treatment of 10 to 12 percent of students and faculty. According to Dr. William Derrick, Director of Health Service, the flu virus is subdivided into two major strains, A and B. Strain A, the most common strain, is sometimes called the swine flu, while Strain B, is more commonly referred to as the stomach flu. Because both variants are subdi­ vided into other strains, the Centers for Disease Control, based in Atlanta, will try to develop a vaccine for the most preva­ lent. The vaccine will be available to all students at the infirmary; however, some at high risk are encouraged to re­ ceive the vaccine. This high risk group includes persons who are chronically ill, those diagnosed with asthma, lung dis­ ease, heart problems, diabetes or HIV Wilma Dykeman Speaks Oct. 4 Author Wilma Dykeman, best known for her books "Three Tall Women" and "The Far Family," will speak at the Richard T. Barker Friends °f the Library's annual dinner Oct. 4 at Appalachian. A reception will begin at 6:30 P m. at the Broyhill Inn and Conference Center, followed by dinner at 7:15 p.m. Jhe cost is $25 per person. Dykeman has been a columnist, journalist, pro­ fessor and scholar. She has written 16 hooks dealing with the Appalachian rek'°n, and has been honored with the Thomas Wolfe Memorial Trophy.

(Photo by Dana Gardner) Wage increase may affect student jobs Del Holston Staff Writer "The Odd Couple" opens Oct. 2 Neil Simon's female version of 'The Odd Couple" will be presented at Appalachian State October 2-6. Each performance begins at 8 p.m. in the Valborg Theatre. Tickets are $3 for stu­ dents and $5 for all others. The play, presented by the De­ partment of Theater and Dance, is about two best friends who become room­ mates causing humorous and disastrous results. Starring in the play are Angie Light, Peyton King, Nicole Bubolo, Trish Sheridan, Lisa Whitten, Amy Harrison, David Rikard and Chad Arndt. For persons at high risk, the vacci­ nation is vital, according to Continuous Quality Improvement Coordinator Susan Tumbleston, 'The flu doesn't kill people, but the complications, like pneumonia, can," said Tumbleston. Symptoms may include coughing, sore throat, chills and headache. Muscle ache and a fever of 102 degrees or more are typically associated with the flu virus, according to Derrick. "The temperature is the most striking symptom of the flu vi­ rus," said Derrick. Despite predictions of an early flu season, there are a number of precautions, in addition to the vaccine, students can take to protect themselves. Adequate rest, a proper diet, reduction of stress and mod­ erate exercise can all reduce the risk of contracting the virus. The flu vaccination will be offered at the infirmary beginning October 21 and will cost $3. Vaccinations will be given on a first come, first serve basis and will be available while they last. According to Himbleston, it is best to avoid people who have symptoms of the virus. Likewise, people who have the flu should avoid others as much as possible. "If you have the flu, don't go to class," encouraged Tumbleston. Stormy Weather Students employed by the Appa­ lachian campus may soon find their hours reduced to compensate for the rise in minimum wage. When the new minimum wage goes into effect, students will be payed $5.15 instead of the $4.25 they are payed now. This takes more money from the university's budget, so student employment is being cut by one-third to compensate. University Controller Bob Baker said the increase may shorten the number of total hours worked by students, but might not decrease the number of positions by one-third. "I don't know if it will reduce it that much," Baker said. According to Greg Blimling, vice chancellor for student developement, 25 percent of students employed at Appala­ chian must be participants of the work study program. Due to government regu­ lations, they are guaranteed a certain number of hours. There are about 2,000 students employed on campus. 400 of those stu­ dents work in student affairs alone. The university employs only 1,700 full-time professors. That means that more stu­ dents work on this campus than faculty and staff combined. Students can also expect an in­ crease in student fees around spring se­ mester to cover the minimum wage in­ crease. "I feel it's okay because 1 under- stand that my hours will be cut, but I will still be payed the same," said Louis Solomon, a junior and employee at Belk Library. "I don't really agree with the new minimum wage increase though. It's not fair to small businesses." Casey Gabriel, a sophomore and employee of the game room in the stu­ dent union, said "I think it's good for those who get to keep their jobs. As far as cut­ ting down hours, I don't really believe they should just because of the minimum wage increase. It doesn't make sense to not hire some students, and give the rest more money." AppalCART routes Small group housing restored for '96—'97 receives green light some extra money somehow... otherwise, at the end of the year we may have to run Jennifer Sharpe a deficit."

Kristina Miller Staff Writer Plans for a new housing complex to be built near Appalachian Heights apartments have been unofficially ap­ proved by the university. The complex will house an esti­ mated 300 students with plans still in the works for a sorority and fraternity floor. The building has been tentatively classi­ fied as "small group housing," which will have a duplex-style arrangement unlike most dorms on campus. The project is expected to be complete sometime during the1999-2000 academic year, but the opening date may be postponed due to a lack of finances. Although no final estimate of the construction cost has been made, a mort­ gage will be taken out to help pay for the complex. "Housing construction and devel­ opment is typically paid for by students out of their tuition and housing fees," said Jane Helm, vice chancellor for Business Affairs. The building site chosen for this latest project is Greenwood parking lot, which currently holds overflow parking from Appalachian Heights apartments. Parking issues raised by construction of the new facility will be decided sometime in the future. Did you know...? There were 5,668 males and 6,352 women were enrolled at Appalachian in 1995.

Chains strung from wooden posts appear around grassy areas and suddenly there are plants where none were before. Must be Family Week­ end, huh? Mulch seems to sprout up everywhere and the occasional flowering plant gets placed in the per­ fect spot so anyone walking by can't possibly miss it. We've noticed that the Appalachian campus gets improved just in time for Family Weekend and we don't understand why these changes aren't made from the get-go. What's the deal? Are students not important enough to spiffy up the campus for? We appreciate the changes that are made, how­ ever, we resent the fact that they are not only put off until right before Family Weekend, they seem to be purposely created just to impress parents. We're the ones who trek all over campus sev­ eral times each day to get to class. Students are the people who have to eat in the cafeteria and other food services venues. We're the ones who continu­ ously have to dodge dog poop wh^h walking across Sanford Mall. We think that next year all the improvements made to our campus need to occur before we ar­ rive in August. We deserve the best, right from the start. If you tried to get anywhere off campus this weekend you probably had to sit through endless traffic. Most of us did. We didn't like it, either. Another problem with parent's weekend is the fact that students cannot park anywhere. For in­ stance, at Appalachian Heights the majority of park­ ing spaces were occupied by visitors. Basically stu­ dents are pushed off campus for parents. Perhaps the university should suggest the use of fewer cars by the families and maybe give the students some warning, like do not move your car until everyone leaves town. Family Weekend is basically a mess. Sure, there are little sessions for parents to find out more about what their kids are doing at school. Of course there's an Open House in the Varsity Gym where various clubs and organizations toil, giving out informa­ tion on colored fliers. Boooooring. The rain that fell incessandy all weekend should indicate to parents what the tour guides don't tell you- the weather in Boone isn't always pretty. When it rains.... you know the rest. We think that Appalachian is a wonderful school. Would we be here otherwise? We just don't believe that Family Weekend gives parents an ac­ curate view of what life and studies at Appalachian are like. So when the heck IS Fall Break? We'll give you three guesses. Nope, nope and nope. Seems as though anyone you ask about which days Fall Break occurs will give you a different an­ swer. Some say it's next weekend, others say it's the one after that. October 17-20 is the official Fall Break sched­ ule according to the univeristy Registrar, the Stu­ dent Handbook and most professors. So, if anyone tells you differently, don't believe the hype.

Even though Adam and Eve were the first hu­ mans on Earth (depending on what you believe), I'm sure that they played little flirtatious games like hid­ ing behind the trees and giggling, or throwing rotten fruit (if it existed in the Garden of Eden) at each other. On the flip side, if you opt for the evolutionary theory, I'm sure you have all seen the "National Geo­ graphic" specials on apes and monkeys and their in­ credible sex drive. Now, something had to happen between the primates before they jumped on each other. Oop, you guessed it, flirting even happens in the animal kingdom. Flirting, as it applies to us college students, is present in our everyday class life. If that cute guy in biology says "Hi" to you, you start picking out china patterns. If that equally attractive female sits next to you for the third day in a row in history, you have a preacher lined up after class to get hitched. Flirting happens in three distinct stages. The first, called "initial reaction," happens when you first see someone and realize you are destined to be together, no matter what your parents (or professor!) says oth­ erwise. As soon as the step occurs, it is gone. The second stage, is labeled as the "feeling out" time (no sexual innuendoes, please). At this point, you start doing the little things that may seem stupid to everyone else, but to you, they seem perfectly nor- Viewpoint by Matt Bielejeski Columnist mal. Examples of this behavior are: • sitting closer and closer to them everyday until you are practically in their lap (or maybe you are!) • asking if they need help with that "really tough chemistry homework" • sitting in the lobby of their all-female dorm hop­ ing to see them • trying to exit your class together at the same time so you can "bump into them" and chat a little about that boring lecture • asking your friend who knows their friend who knows someone else who they roomed with last year to find out what they think of you • making yourself take a 10 minute detour just so you can pass them on the way to sociology class. The third stage of flirtatious behavior, often called the "terminal stage" by scientists and researchers, is known to us as the "get off your butt and do some­ thing about it" stage. The stage was named by the friends of the flirter, tin thi 7 who had grown quite tired of hearing how they were meant for each other. At this point, the person doing the flirting, hereafter referred to as the flirter, ap­ proaches the person accepting the flirting, called the flirtee. Mi The flirter comes up with some lame reason for them to get together and actually do something, be it dinner, a movie or whatever (naked Twister with Wesson Oil doesn't count as flirting.) By this time, the flirting is over because the flirter has actually "gotten off his butt and done something about it," and now has come to that fateful moment we all love: A the response. "th The response is an integral part of the end of ^gg1 any flirtatious relationship. The flirter is nervous of being turned down and spiraling into the depths a ^sa S( insanity (o.k., maybe not that bad), and the flirtee(an occ has to evaluate their feelings for the flirter.

Second, let me express that I am not against learning itself, I am against forced learning. This vast array of knowledge is forced upon you by the university, regardless of your interests. The university basically decides what classes are important, the choice is not left to you. Some critics may point out that several classes would disappear if these courses were not required. That is not necessarily true. Since Appalachian State is such a diverse campus, class schedules will reflect beautiful mountain scenery? If I have a right to go somewhere else, I also have a right as a full-time stu­ dent to stay here and challenge these strict require­ ments.

"The ASU Marching Band is the best I in the state. This has been proven to me 5t' through all the hard work I've seen," said Akers. The graduate assistant also said that he was drawn to ASU from his home state of Virginia because of the marching band. Color Guard choreographers Jen Grantham and Jen Carlson work with head majorette Leslie Macintuf to perfect the band's routines. There are also section and squad leaders for every section in the band according to instrument. The band is made up of more than 50 percent upperclassmen," said Katerie Wagner, a fourth year marcher. "I'm in the band because it's an outlet for stress release and it's exciting. Marching makes you feel like all the hard work is worth it." The band practices approximately six hours on the stadium field and in class each week. Besides Tuesday and Thurs­ day rehearsals from 12:00 to 1:45 p.m., there are weekly sectionals between one and two hours long. This is the time dur­ ing which each instrument section prac­ tices together. The members must also practice on their own time memorizing music and routines. All 230 members of the band came to school a few days early in August just for extra rehearsal time. They practiced from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. going over marching rou­ tines, training new members and learn­ ing the basics. The Marching Mountaineers' hard work paid off when they gave a high-spir­ ited, crowd-pleasing performance at the Wake Forest football game, Aug. 29. They played their "Retro" show, consisting of the popular tunes such as Saturday Night Fever, Hot Stuff and a Village People Med­ ley (Macho Man, YMCA, and In the Navy). On Sept. 28, the band performed die 'James Bond Show." Songs included the James Bond theme, Gold Finger, Live and Let Die and For Your Eyes Only. Upcoming shows include Paul Simon, Cartoon and Higher, Faster, Louder, but Not Sloppy. The students who march are as di­ verse as the music that the band plays. Music majors comprise 40 to 45 percent of the band. For them, marching extends their classroom experience. For students in other programs, marching rounds out their education and gives them an oudet to use their musical talent. Anyone who can play an instrument is encouraged to participate. The band's purpose is to support the football game, entertain the audience and provide the members an oudet for recre­ ation and relaxation. On Saturday, Oct. 5, the annual The Great Conspiracy Theory •I Matt Russ and John Starling Feature Editors • I A conspiracy, as defined by Webster, js, "the act of conspiring together, or an jigreement among conspirators."

You get hyped up about it and you are either let down or merely satis­ fied. Your expectations seldom get ex­ ceeded. Like many music fans, I have been waiting somewhat anxiously for Tool's fol­ low-up to their 1993 epic, "Undertow," to no avail. For a young band, three years is a little too long to wait between albums. Time is but one factor in this equa­ tion. What about the quality of the new product? It has already created a bit of a stir among fans of "Undertow," who have already proclaimed that this new release will be the greatest thing to hit the music market since its predecessor. What result will come of such high expectations for Tool? Can they deliver? Could they possibly exceed the hopes and dreams of their fans? For once, an album has lived up to and exceeded these antici­ pations. "Aenima" (Zoo) is quite possibly Tool's finest moment on record. Scratch that. It is Tool's finest moment on record. They sound as tight as they always have, but seem a little more willing to experiment. Go figure. Maynard James Kennan could have the greatest voice in rock, and properly displays it on every vocal part he does on "Aenima." Keenan's voice is as sincerely soft as a child's, and as horribly tortured as a banshee's. Adam Jones' guitar play­ ing is still an effected piece of work, pro­ viding slabs of instrumental torment to compliment the mood of the songs. The full throttle, yet, emotional force of the opening track, "Stinkfist," pulls the listener along an endless stream of gloom. Seldom do you hear bands this tight from the get-go, who are able to maintain that power. "Eulogy" continues the power trend. Awesome, awesome, awesome. "H." is the archetypal Tool song with a brooding verse and a dirgey chorus - just as awe­ some as the rest. New bassist Justin Chancellor gets to introduce "Forty Six & 2" with a chorusdrenched bass line that shows some growth from the clean, bottom-heavy sound of recently departed bassist Paul D'Amour. This song also features some intense behind-the-beat chugging from the bass and guitar. "Message to Harry Manback" shows some of the new experimentation of Tool with its soft piano music and spoken words. This fades into the angriest song on "Aenima," "Hooker with a Penis." "I'm the Man/You're the Man/He's the Man," with accompanying expletives and screams, makes for great angst material. "Jimmy's" great riffing and softness show that Tool can craft a mood with the best of them (that is, if they aren't already there). "Die Eier Von Satan" shows Tool leaning towards industrial rock and stu­ dio trickery. "Cesaro Summability" has a nifty screaming-baby effect at the beginning that does not sound totally unlike Pink See Tool page 4 u;s n:1- enrle le ik ir. iro 7 re e is in y a n e e 1- | it e j! )f �Page 4 The Appalachian 1 October Tool continued from page 3 SSSi 19961 Th' MDA covers America — with the most complete range of services for people affected by neuromuscular diseases.

The final track, "Third Eye," closes out with a bit of humor sampled in, and what sounds like a slide guitar part. Both of which are a bit uncharacteristic for Tool. There are interesting effects on Keenan's vocals during the loud parts. Jones sounds like he is tuned way down in some places. This song takes the experimental whole of fool and clumps it into one epic (13:47) piece. I spent the whole weekend lis­ tening to this album with a die­ hard Tool fan. At moments, he looked like he was the happiest man alive, in shock and on the verge of tears. This only attested to the mysterious darkness and beauty of this album. Great mu­ sic, great lyrics and great produc­ tion. So far, "Aenima" is my can­ didate for president, as well as the album of the year.

For those of you who left before you turned into a human sponge, t, well, you missed one heck of a football Kinner's Korner Chris Kinner Assistant Sports Editor ' ,?ame' u Down 17-3 in the second quarter and Sf looking to be very much beaten by a fired up Citadel team, the Mountaineers staged jn exciting comeback that brought them ifrom a 14 point deficit to a 14 point vic^tory by the score of 34-20. 1 The game was a milestone for two prominent figures in the Mountaineer pro­ gram. Head Coach Jerry Moore became [he school's all-time winningest coach with 58 victories at Appalachian. Senior running back Damon Scott of Cedar "Grove, N.C. became the fourth Mountain­ eer ever to rush for 3,000 career yards. 1 But the thing that will make this game 'stand out in the memory of App fans at the end of the season will be the torren­ tial downpour that put a damper on the spirits of Mountaineer fans in attendance but not the Mountaineers themselves. Senior linebacker Joe DiBernardo of Mi­ ami, Fla., who had Appalachian's only in­ terception of the day, said that the team "couldn't have asked for anything better" in reference to the slip-and-slide condi­ tions that wreaked havoc on the Citadel offense. The rain came down sporadically throughout most of the first half. Mid­ way through the second quarter, the hownpour began and never let up for the jest of the contest. Coincidentally, it was it around that time that the Mountain:rs began their comeback. Down 17-3 six minutes into the secind quarter, the Mountaineers' Jeff ireene, a senior from Boone, was able to fecover Citadel running back Deon lackson's fumble at the Citadel 18-yard ine, putting App in position to score their irst touchdown less than a minute later. Dn their next possession, the Mountainters were able to drive 64 yards on six lays to tie the score at 17 all. Scott said hat "...(the team) didn't really look at it as a wake up call," referring to the team's tarly deficit. "We knew sooner or later we kere going to start getting it in the endaone." The Mountaineers continued "getting it in the end-zone" in the second half. After allowing The Citadel to go up 20-17 on a 47-yard field goal by Justin Skinner, the Apps came back to take the lead once and for all. Freshman Chuck Payne of Hampton, Va. returned Skinner's kick 42 yards to the Citadel 40-yard line. From Sports Commentary there Scott led the way, running the ball four times on the eight play drive for 16 yards and the go-ahead touchdown. From there on out, the Mountaineers were able to shut down the Bulldog of­ fense while racking up 10 more points on a Jay Sutton field goal and Spencer Reeves touchdown run. On their last chance, the Bulldogs went for it on fourth and 20 but fell three yards short due to ASU defend­ ers Dexter Coakley and Gord Fenderson. For Moore, the victory was an emo­ tional one. After the game Moore said "I'm just happy... there was a time when I didn't think I was ever going to coach again, then I got a chance to come here." Moore said that he couldn't say breaking the record "...wasn't important, because it was." In seven years with Appalachian, Moore is 58-30. The old record was held by E.C. Duggins who went 57-25-3 in eight years with the Mountaineers during the periods from 1947-1950 and 1952-1955. DiBernardo may have best summed up the feelings of the Mountaineers when he said that Moore "...deserved it, and earned it." Overshadowed by his coach's mile­ stone, Scott also had a record day. The senior ran for 216 yards and two touch­ downs on 29 carries. He fell just two yards short of breaking his own record of 218 yards which he set last season agains North Carolina A&T. Scott did manage t< break into an elite group of Mountainee rushers by becoming just the fourth per son in school history to run for over 3,00( career yards. With this win, the Mountaineers stan< at 3-1overall and 1-0 in the Southern Con ference.

The first game started out fast, with the score rotating back and forth between both teams. After a 6-6 tie, ETSU broke out, scoring five unanswered points. Then it was ASU's turn, fighting back to score seven unanswered points. The game turned into a grudge match, with both teams altering points, but would end up going to the Bucs, 16-14. In the second game, the Mountaineers struggled, allowing Buccaneers to score the first 10 points in the game. Both the offense and defense played poorly in this match. The Lady Apps only offensive breakout was when they scored three straight points. Unfortunately, that was all the offense they could muster in this 15-3 loss. In the third game the Mountaineers were able to break out of their slump and dominate. After being down 2-0, the Lady Spikers scored 10 straight points on the Bucs. ASU controlled the match with good defense and with consistent scoring. The Appalachian defenders held ETSU to five points in the match to win by the score of 15-5. The Mountaineers needed a fourth game win to force a fifth and deciding match. Unfortunately for Appalachian, ETSU managed to rattle off 10 straight points after leading only 6-5 to take the game 15-5. "It was a tough loss to open the conference," said Coach Dave Markland. "We let the first game slip away, and then in the third game we gained some momentum. We hoped that the momentum would have carried through in the fourth game, but ETSU adjusted and controlled the game. We just need to regroup and continue," Markland said. The Lady Spikers were led by Stephanie Young, of Advance, N.C. and Paula Levayof Mt. PleasentS.C., who both had 10 kills in the match. Cindy Kolomechuk, of Waynesville, N.C. led the assist department, with 31. The Mountaineers next game is at home against on North Carolina A&T on Tftesday at Varsity Gymnasium.

Pages 7 through 10 Jay Konstantaras News Editor The Convocation Center, the parking deck and alternative transporta­ tion were topics of discussion during Tues­ day night's Student Government Associa­ tion meeting. On hand for the meeting was Jane Helm, vice chancellor of Business Affairs. In her special report to the sen­ ate, Helm addressed the nature and progress of various on-campus construc­ tion projects. She provided senators with information on current projects, as well as details about the Convocation Center and the new parking deck. During a question and answer session with senators, Helm affirmed that the cost of the center, originally estimated to be $26 million in April of 1995 had now reached $35 million. Helm blamed inflation and increased costs for the dif­ ference in price, and said that although only $30 million was budgeted for the project, the additional $5 million needed would be sought from private donations. She also stated that the offices and classrooms of Health, Leisure and Ex­ ercise Sciences would occupy 70,000 square feet, which is 40,000 more than was estimated in 1995. Senator David Ponder questioned Helm about the square footage, asking her to account for the discrepancy between Helm's figure of 70,000 feet and the 30,000 foot estimate attributed to Helm in the April 20,1995 issue of The Appalachian. Helm disputed the information in the article, and agreed to go over the fig­ ures with Ponder individually. "When you refer to The Appala­ chian as a source, that troubles me a little bit," Helm said. Helm also addressed senators' concerns about the parking deck to be con­ structed at the park­ ing lot n e a r R a 1 e y Hall. Ac­ cording to Helm, the parking d e c k , which will begin con­ struction t h i s Poole spring, will accommodate about 600 cars. She also made it clear that this deck was the only parking deck currently on the drawing board. Although a feasibility study chose Raley Hall, the new steam plant and the new convocation center as the three most ideal loca­ tions for parking d e c k s , Helm said the Raley Hall deck is the only one in the works. "We have to look at the park­ ing probHelm lem and the resources available," said Helm, discussing the possibility of addi­ tional parking decks in the future. "If a deck is affordable and it's the right way to go, we'll start planning a sec­ ond one," she said. Al Rapp, associate vice chancel­ lor for business affairs was also present to discuss alternative transportation issues with senators. Rapp reported that the Alterna­ tive Transportation Committee, which was created in February to look into additional means to student transit, was still process­ ing and collecting ideas. "We're not yet at a stage to optimize those suggestions," Rapp said. Rapp presented a proposed bi­ cycle path plan for the main campus, cre­ ated with the assistance of Clyde Robbins, vice chancellor of development and main­ tenance. In other business, the senate unanimously approved the appointment of Todd Poole as SGA Vice President. Poole's appointment, as well as that of several other SGA officers, was sent to the rules committee last week for re­ view. In her report, Rules Committee Chair Caroline Bumgarner stated that Poole had been given "favorable recom­ mendation" to become vice president. According to the report, Poole stated that he had been working closely with former SGA vice president Jason Yepko and would work to achieve the goals established by Yepko and SGA Presi­ dent Kaye Cranford during their cam­ paign. "Yepko has been a great help to me since I moved in," said Poole in the report. SGA will meet Tbesday, Oct. 1 at 6:15 p.m. in the Grandfather Mountain Ballroom of Plemmons Student Union. Speaking at the meeting will be Chancel­ lor Francis T. Borkowski. Expansion threatens wooded areas Jennifer Sharpe Staff Writer Proposed construction projects involving the wooded areas between Kidd Brewer Stadium and South parking lot have Appalachian community members concerned regarding land usage and their input into the matter. Dr. Greg Blimling, vice chancel­ lor of Student Development, announced last week that a proposal exists to build a new residence hall, requiring partial use of the land behind south lot. Dr. Gary L. Walker, assistant pro­ fessor of biology, declined to make a spe­ cific comment saying, "I would be inter­ ested to see what areas of land would be affected before 1 actually comment." Walker did say that the Biology department would be very concerned with the idea of destroying any vegeta­ tion. He said that the Biology department uses this area of land for several classes in every level of their program.

(Photo by Richard Thomas) Residence halls to be renovated soon Laurie Lyda Staff Writer Thanks to $2.5 million in re­ serves, several Appalachian State Univer­ sity residence halls will be partially reno­ vated in the coming months. Each year, students pay housing fees according to a previously determined budget. According to Brad Reid, director of Housing and Residence Life, any extra utility money is put into a reserve ac­ count. Once a large enough balance ac­ cumulates, the money is put back into the residence halls. Reid said there are a total of 27 renovation projects planned and that it may take up to three years to complete some of the more extensive ones. These projects have an estimated cost of $2.5 million, and may be even less since the cost was "estimated on the up side." The most recent renovations were the addition of bunkable beds to Cone and Belk Residence Halls. According to Reid, each residence hall was asked to vote on when they wanted the new beds installed. Cone voted to have their beds installed now, while Belk opted for the beds to be put in after the students move out in May. will be installed. Reid said that once the new elevator is up and running, the exist­ ing elevator will be completely refur­ bished. The project has been estimated to cost $500,000. The remodeling of Winkler Hall will include kitchen reno­ vations, installation of functional closets, recarpeting, and possi­ bly the installation of computer data ports.

Another summer project included interior painting and door refinishing at Eggers Residence Hall. Future plans in­ clude the renovation of the Eggers Lobby. Roof replacements are planned for Winkler, Lovill, Cone, Hoey, Doughton, and Mountaineer Apartments. A circulat­ ing water line replacement, which in­ cludes all copper piping from the entrance of the building to the top floor, will take place in Doughton and Lovill. All plumb­ ing fixtures in these residence halls will take place at the same time. Windows will be replaced in Bowie, Hoey, and the Mountaineer Apart­ ments. Security screens for ground acces­ sible windows will be installed at Appala­ chian Heights. In addition, landscaping will be done at Appalachian Heights and Coffey Residence Hall. �Page 2 The Appalachian 26 Septembef Expansion from page Butterworth receives outstanding faculty award ASU News Bureau Dr. Diane Butterworth, a professor in Appalachian State University's Depart­ ment of Family and Consumer Science, received the 1996 Outstanding Faculty Award from the College of Fine and Ap­ plied Arts.

Land, college dean, described Butterworth as an internationally known research scholar and excellent advisor to both un­ dergraduate and graduate students. Butterworth began teaching nu­ trition at Appalachian in 1990. She has written two textbooks and published ar­ ticles in more than 20 professional jour­ nals. She has collaborated much of her nutrition research with faculty in Appalachian's Health, Leisure and Exer­ cise Science department. Butterworth earned her Master's Degree in public health from the Univer­ sity of California in Los Angeles and her Ph. D. in public health from Loma Londa University. She is a registered and licenced dietician. "I truly enjoy teaching here," Butterworth said about Appalachian. "I look at it as an opportunity to be excel­ lent, and I think every day how much I really enjoy the students.

More than 135 students donated food on Wednesday and some faculty and staff did, DO. Barry Hooker, the Blood Services Consultant for he Carolinas Region of The Red Cross, told us that lWhopping 40 percent of blood donated in the Caroinas Region comes from high school and college tudents. This region incorporates 10 entire counies from Winston-Salem westward to parts of Eastim Tennessee. We were very impressed to hear that ollege students contribute so willingly to The Red Iross' efforts. Hooker said that last year the Carolitias Region collected over 300,000 units of blood rom donors. This means that about 120,000 units ame from the so-called "Generation X " The Blood Mobile was sponsored by a campus group called Circle K. According to District Secre­ tary Jennifer Chapman, this club functions as the collegiate level of The Kiwanis and brought The Blood Mobile to the Student Union to try to boost student donor numbers. It seems as though the numbers of units collected at Owens Field House were dropping according to last year's figures and Circle K was right to bring the location of The Blood Mobile to a more accessible area for students. We applaud this group for their effort and con­ gratulate the people who donated blood for their involvement in The Red Cross' efforts to save lives. Nancy Green, a Red Cross Nurse, said that a terson can safely donate blood every 56 days (that's iow long your body takes to replace the platelets) and that The Blood Mobile will be back on campus n November, March and April. Hooker said that the Carolinas Region hopes to be able to come to Appalachian every month to boost the number of donors by rotating them from month to month. The process that the Red Cross uses for blood lonation isn't exactly speedy, but takes between 1510 minutes on average to complete. There were so lany people at Wednesday's drive, however, that dents waited for up to an hour to donate blood. According to Hooker, you first go through a pie health check and mini-physical. A nurse asks u about your general health history and screens 'ou for what could be signs that your blood could |be tainted. The questions range from, "do you have my tattoos?" to "have you had unprotected sex?" After you have gone through the screening, you isign a form and get your finger or ear pricked for a Wood sample. Then, you wait in line until a stretcher is free. Next comes the past that seems to scare people the most- the actual blood donation. This is p fairly pain-free procedure according to the stu­ dents we talked to. You lie down, a nurse ties a rubber tube around your arm to bring the blood down to it and then a thin needle is inserted into a yein. This may sound excruciatingly horrible, but ® truth it's not bad. It is as uncomfortable as the short prick you feel when getting a shot. The great part of blood donation is how it helps others. The Red Cross saves lives with donated Wood. More than one person can benefit from a Pngle unit of blood. Shouldn't you make sure that plough is donated by participating yourself? After , it could be you or someone you love needing a ttain blood type next.

I made the comment that Jack Kemp was the best possible selection that Bob Dole could have made for vice-president. I said this knowing that Colin Powell had no in­ terest whatsoever in running for national office. My boss-lady objected, saying that Powell would have been a much better choice for vice-president instead of Kemp. I responded by raising the point made by come­ dian, Chris Rock. "Why the (expletive) would Colin Powell agree to be the vice-president, when he could beat Bob Dole's ass in an election?" Good point, Chris. Powell would have more than likely given the suddenly infallible Bill Clinton a se­ rious run for his money. If I were a bettin' man, I'd wager that Powell would win, with a good chunk of the electoral college in tow. When Powell announced late last year that he was not going to run for president, I was disap­ pointed. I was looking forward to a presidential can­ didate who exhibited some sort of leadership quali­ ties (Dole), combined with charisma (Clinton); some­ one who seemed above the fray of political bickering and the negative, dirty side of campaigning. Powell, a first generation American, displays all of these qualities. In the 200 plus years of our na­ tion, we have only had 42 different men to hold the most powerful political office in the world. Powell had a chance to be the 43rd, yet he declined. He could have become the first minority to sit behind the desk in the Oval Office, an idea unheard of just Ryan Price Editorial Editor 30 years ago. Powell has been said by some to be the "Great Black Hope." That is false. I believe he is for all of us, a great hope, because of his strong qualities as a leader, strong moral character, and his inspiring story of overcoming discrimination to rise to the highest office in the U.S. military. As president, Powell could have become one of the greatest role models that young people could have. He may have been able to heal the racial ten­ sions that seem to be escalating daily in our country, and help dispel the feelings of discrimination that still thrive in our society. Granted, Powell was far from being a shoo-in for the Republican Party, but at least he made the other candidates moderate their positions (slightly). By holding views that most Americans believe in, Powell not only transcended race, but political parties as well. He epitomizes what a majority of Americans these days want; someone with enough character and moral fiber to make decisive decisions, and not pander to the results of every focus group that poll­ sters deem important. It is good that Powell declared himself a republi­ can. Maybe he can help moderate the party's increas­ ingly socially conservative views, and help wrest some of the leadership away from the arrogant leaders of the far right, who seem to think that they are the voice of the average American. Powell said he wants to help give blacks a differ­ ent choice than the Democratic Party. This, of course, helps Republicans, by broadening their base, and per­ haps will offer an alternative to voters who have de­ fected from both parties for various reasons. Well, enough dreaming. Back to reality. Once again, Americans must choose between two-and-ahalf lackluster candidates (Perot's the half) offering election year promises that have virtually no rel­ evance to most of the 260 million people in our coun­ try. Timeliness is the key to politics, and Powell is one of the best known and well-respected figures in America right now. If Dole is smart (and judging by his campaign gaffes so far, he's not), he would name Powell his Secretary of State in late October. This would help keep Powell in the public eye, and give him the in­ side track for the future. Perhaps by having such a positive, high-profile, apolitical figure in his cabinet, it will encourage vot­ ers to take another look at the man from Kansas in November. n defense of apathy r n My Turn by Daniel Bothun Columnist Ever since arriving on campus as a freshman last year, I have been surrounded by people command­ ing me to get involved. Many of these Jehovanites think that students should be active in something, particularly clubs. I do not think that way, because I am an avid sup­ porter of apathy. In this article, I will prove that apa­ thy is a justifiable way of life. Human beings have a limited capacity for car­ ing. That is simple human nature. Anyone disagree­ ing with the previous sentences is living on a fantasy island with Tattoo (Ze plane, Ze plane!). Since humans have a limited capacity for caring, they must make choices. People must choose who and what to care about. Do not let my ideas fool you. I am not saying that everyone should be totally indifferent about ev­ erything. Nobody could ever be totally indifferent, because people need to care about something in or­ der to experience not caring about other things. People must experience both sides of the spectrum in order to pick a side on it. Opponents of apathy often will complain that some things will never get done if the idea of indif­ ference is promoted. This is a blatant, outright lie. All people are different, thereby creating a scene of incessant dispute and argument. In other words, humans can never agree on any­ thing. Since humans can never agree on anything, not everyone will be indifferent. Certain people will care about certain causes and will do something to advance their causes. Therefore, everything that needs to be done will get done. If something is not done, someone will bring it to other people's atten­ tion. These people will then do something about it. Anyone asking you to care about a certain issue, is most likely after your money. If you turn on the television, you will see what I mean. Sally Struthers wants you to donate money to some sickly little kid in Africa. Most likely, this kid was the product of two people who were too poor or stupid to use birth con­ trol. RB.S. wants you to donate money to keep that obscenely uppity, purple rip-off artist on the air. Students at this campus are bombarded with messages from people telling them to get involved every day. Often, the very people who tell students to get involved are the people who might make a profit off of students. Clubs use various tactics to trick people into be­ coming members. Most advertise (so-called) free pizza, enticing students to come and leam more about their club. While at this meeting, club members in­ troduce a propaganda campaign reminiscent of Nazi Germany. Some students then actually join these sort of clubs, and the vicious cycle continues. I will admit that the various organizations around campus do prepare students for the job market. In order for any student to enter the job market, he/ she must conform to a certain corporate image and lifestyle. In clubs, the conformity is the same. Most clubs force one to dress a certain way, act a certain way, and pledge allegiance to everything the club stands for. Apathy is a great attitude to take towards most things. In the big schematic of life, the only thing that really matters is your own well-being. You do not have to get involved, be active in the community, or even donate to charity. If some guy asks you to join a club, give him a message from me. Tell him to take his pamphlets, flyers, name tags, membership requirements and forms to be filled out in triplicate and wipe his ass with 'em. IS IS o 1!S 111e e k r. i- o y e School through the eyes of a foreigner "Your flight is closed," said a uniformed person to me in Moscow airport. No, I will not let this hap­ pen. I cannot afford to miss my flight after nearly three years of exchanging letters, making phone calls, and worries. At one point, the international studies office got so annoyed by my never-ending questions, that they sent me a fax, advising me to "relax and enjoy my trip to the U.S." Which I did. I finally made it to the plane and here I am in Boone. Now, U.S. students probably do not notice this, but we foreigners (or at least most of us) find that the amount of support we get here is tremendous. Starting from finding a place to live to making your way through course schedules, this support comes from the Office of International Studies, host fami­ lies and many other people who are willing to help. Somebody asked me a question: "What surprised you here?" Here are just a couple of things. First, never during my undergraduate studies back at home Viewpoint by Pavel Zemliansky Columnist did I have to create my own schedule of classes. In Eastern Europe, you simply do not have to do it; your department decides everything for you. Ev­ eryone studies the same subject, and in the begin­ ning of each semester, you see a ready-made sched­ ule. Your job then is to follow it. Anyway, after spending some time trying to fig­ ure out what courses to take, I think I can justify the existence of those analytical sections in the G.R.E. By the time you have your prospective schedule in your head, it is very likely that some, if not all of the courses that you want to register for, are closed! This is exactly what happened to me. And you cannot beat that voice registration system. "Give me a human being," I thought in frustration, "so I can negotiate something!" You know, I have this problem. I find it difficult to communicate with recorded voices. Which is a serious drawback in the end of the 20th century. But it all was settled in the end. If you want an opinion of a foreigner who has been to some other parts of this country before, and who can compare them with Boone, I find Appala­ chian State very friendly and geared towards students' needs. Perhaps, we international students get some sort of privileged treatment in solving our little everyday problems? Oh, yes, one thing I do not understand at all: the combinations of Greek letters that are everywhere on campus. But I will find out. Just like I have found out all I wanted to up 'till now. y a a e e �Page 6 The Appalachian 26 Tl SePtemb er] Opinion Letters to the Editor Hutton Wrong on Rush wish to get a jump start to the polls this November.

[Journalism student gets top honor Matt Russ Features Editor In our nation's Capitol on Saturday ternoon, the 21st of September, a feljW Appalachian student was elected to , greatly sought after seat on the national iard of one of the largest professional ;anizations in America. Manya A. Brachear, a senior at Ap­ palachian, took her position as president e^f ASU's chapter of the Society of Proessional Journalists to the next level, jhe was elected, among seven other canjidates, to the position of Campus Repllulresentative at large, on SPJ national card, where she will serve for the next car. The Society of Professional Journalsts is the largest journalism organization i, the country; and Washington, D.C. losted its national convention this past week, housing professional and amateur ournalists from as far away as Hawaii. Manya spent her days at the conven­ tion frantically running about, speaking .. individuals and groups about what her goals would be, should she be elected to office. Flyers persuading journalists to vote for Manya, brochures providing iniformation about her experience and lalifications and stickers, stickers every­ where proclaimed Brachear as the prime candidate of choice. She also had a booth set up at SPJs infomart, getting the word out about her Press Package Project, a service-oriented project that she started, to help under­ ground journalists of war-torn and politi­ cally unstable countries. The project calls for SPJ chapters, both campus and professional, to fill shoe boxes with items journalists often take for granted. Things such as pens, notepads, batteries, tape recorders, and so forth, will be sent overseas, via shoe box. "I want to help foreign journalists who have been robbed of their press freedoms, because this threatens our press freedoms, which in turn endangers democracy," says an excited Brachear. And all her hard work, time and money spent paid off, as she received the largest number of votes out of the seven candidates. Jennifer McMenamin of the University of Maryland finished 10 votes behind her to fill the other seat as Cam­ pus Representative. Brachear will be meeting with McMenamin in November to begin work­ ing on projects dealing with campus me­ dia. "Current student press issues control our agenda, our job and our role on the board," says Brachear. Her duties will consist mainly of deal­ ing with press and general media issues that come up on college campuses across the country.»She will be making herself Last man standing; an action filled sloucher Brooks Small Reporter In the new Bruce Willis vehicle, Last Man Standing, two warring gangs of small time bootleggers are in a bitter struggle to see who's king of the hill of a dying Texas border town, circa 1920. Willis is a hard-drinking, pis­ tol wielding nameless drifter who rolls into ,town and serves as the gasoline that ignites the fire be­ tween the two gangs. Christo­ pher Walken plays a sadistic hench­ man with lots of tasty scars. Sounds like a win­ ner, right? No, not really. For starters, I'm still not sure what an Italian gang and an Irish gang, both hom Chicago, are doing in a western bor­ der town with a population of about 65 People, a number which, as the title sug­ gests, is approximately zero by the end of the movie. When Willis arrives in the town of Jericho he proceeds to play both sides of the rivalry, hiring himself as out as an in­ formant and gunman. His skills with a gun are exceptional, and the film makes sure we see these skills often. Willis' ability with a pistol is shown best in scenes like the one in which some bad guys bust into a brothel bedroom and Willis dismounts a prostitute with extraordinary speed and guns down all three or four of them. I can only assume Willis' character has sex with a pistol in each hand. If Last Man Standing took it­ self a little less seriously, scenes like this would be fun to watch. But, unfortunately that's not the case. Movie see page 8 accessible to campus chapters of SPJ so that she can hear their concerns. Many issues have already surfaced, and Brachear and McMenamin are mak­ ing plans to tackle them. "The open campus crime log bill has been introduced to Congress and prob­ ably will be re-introduced next year. The point of the bill will be to open public access of the log," says Brachear. She will also be addressing certain is­ sues dealing with F.O.I, (freedom of in­ formation), campus crime and even the Buckley Amendment. "Also on the agenda is the Buckley Amendment, and clarifying it as well as opening a campus judiciary proceeding," says Brachear. 'This is all part of the Campus Crimes Task Force, of which I am a member, and also a role of the Student F.O.I. Committee, of which I am also a member," she says. To say the least, Brachear has her work cut out for her over the next year. She will be going to Cincinnati in April and Denver next October to meet with the national board. In the meantime, she will be keeping contact with the board through letters, e-mail and phone calls, trying to stay updated on all that will be happening. Beyond her personal goals and those that will be dictated through the course of campus media events and issues, she will also be serving as the national board spokesperson on campus media and jour­ Brachear campaigning in Washington.

It is the responsibility of the board to maintain a sense of direction for the soci­ ety and it will be one of BracheaFs duties to be sure that the direction of the cam­ pus chapters is the right one. She will be working with the vice president of Cam­ pus Chapter Affairs and two campus ad­ visors at large in order to fulfill this. 'This is a great opportunity for ASU's chapter to make a name for itself, by hav­ ing someone on the board to set national precedence," says Brachear. Making a name for itself should not be too much of a problem. It is one of the fastest growing campus chapters in the country and it has an effective leader to lead the way. International Business students uisit China Jeremy Ball Staff Writer China's huge population increased by 17 Appalachian business students, faculty and administrators this summer. The Walker College of Business of­ fered them the opportunity to spend two weeks at Fudan University in Shanghai exploring business opportunities for American companies in a country which will soon become the world's largest economy. Jane Nicholson, News Bureau direc­ tor, says all of that is rapidly beginning to change. Communist Party leader, Deng Xiaoping is commonly credited with open­ ing up the economy to reform and a more flexible system. Nicholson said one Chi­ nese professor told her that 95 percent of the skyscrapers in Shanghai were built within the past five years. The group from Appalachian was given the opportunity to see, not only how the economy is growing, and what op­ portunities exist, but also what it is like to the suddenness of the trip. experience an entirely different culture.

(Photo by Natalie The constant subject of excitement and controversy on campus is the election of the next North Carolina senator, and students are taking it seriously. With bumper stickers sending a mes­ sage of, "Don't Let North Carolina Go To HelmsS," buttons, voter information booths, fund-raisers, banners and yard signs placed all over campus, Students for Gantt is only one of the student organiza­ tions immersed in the fire of campaign­ ing. Appalachian College Democrats and the campus chapter of the National Orga­ nization for Women are working as a coa­ lition on the campaign for Harvey Gantt. Rallies and dinners are included in the campaigns of these organizations, as well as the Young Republicans' campaign to get Jesse Helms reelected for the 25th time. Although each candidate's platform contains a plan concerning college grants, student loans, repaying student loans and earning college tuition, there are still a number of unregistered voters on cam­ pus, and each organization is competing to grab their attention. Through flyers and a countless number of volunteers do­ nating their time and energy, each side of the political spectrum is putting the word out that voting is important; and students are listening. According to sophomore, Danette Shaffer, "The way our system is designed allows us to voice our opinions by way of representatives. That's why voting is so important- if we want our needs met, we have to take the steps necessary to elect a person who will represent us." The number of students attending each organization's weekly meeting is in­ creasing. Resident Assistant's of freshman floors are registering their residents to vote. Whether you are planning to vote for Democratic U.S. Senate candidate, Harvey Gantt, or Republican candidate, Jesse Helms; presidential Democratic ticket Clinton/Gore, or Republican's Dole/ Kemp, you should definitely plan to vote. After the Nov. 4 election, it will be too late, and the direction of our government will be set for the next term. y a a e s i I if �The Appalachian 26 Septemb Page 8 Movie continued from 7 Willis does a voice-over throughout the entire movie, a la Mickey Spilane, and refers to the few women in the movie as skirts. Don't get me wrong, Bruce loves the ladies and he even woos both of the mob bosses' girlfriends. At one point, in fact, Bruce Dem, as the wormy town sher­ iff, tells Willis, "When you go down, it's going to be over a skirt." Speaking of lame lines, when Willis is asked what his biggest flaw is he replies, "I was born without a conscience." As for Walken's umpteenth spin on the manic psycho routine, I think it's about time for an acting stretch. This time around he plays Hickey, a feared hitman who, at the age of 10 slit his father's throat and at 15 burned down his orphanage. Hickey says that everyone inside "burned King This Week In History like candles." I am not making this up. The action scenes in Last Man Stand­ ing have a lot of fun, over-the-top mo­ ments, much along the same lines as 1995's Desperado. But while this film has a cool noire feel to it that Desperado didn't have, the bottom line is the plot and the dialogue are too dopey to take seriously and, other than the action scenes, the movie is not much fun. The funniest moments in the movie weren't intended that way, and that's too bad because Willis would have been per­ fect for a little humor at the expense of the subject matter. If you like Bruce Willis a lot, which I do, and you can get past all of the heavy-handed clichs, which I could not, maybe you'll like Last Man Standing. ••••• Pay the big bucks] • • •• Matinee material ••• Rent it 'A" A' The previews were cool A' Dollar movie only Write The Appalachian.

No ^s, no helmets, just some really hard g action. Rugby has 30 guys on the jd at one time and only one referee. iat can make for some really interesting don. Scoring in Rugby takes place when player kicks the ball into the try zone [the equivalent of an end zone in foot) and is touched by a teammate, or ien a player carries the ball across the al line into the try zone and touches ie ball down. Each of these is worth five lints. Rugby also has an equivalent to (ball's extra point. The extra point may accomplished one of two ways; by kick,g the ball through the goal posts in the irmal football fashion for two points or drop kicking the ball for three addiional points. I "Rugby canbe a very fast paced, inter­ esting game. It has two halves, 40 min­ utes apiece, with only a five minute half pme. David Zelch, the vice-president of the ipalachian rugby team, loves the fast paced, action packed aspect of the game, 'ith play only stopping for an out of mnds or an injury, something is always going on. Players may not pass the ball forward (they are only allowed to lateral or back pass) and must release the ball immedi­ ately when they are tackled. With the lack of pads, and the fact that the Appalachian State Team (known as the lHO Rugby Club) is reputed as "the hardst hitting team in North Carolina," it is asy to see how injuries can occur. In this tuff man's game" each team is only aliwed two injury substitutions, and if anyne else goes down, the team has to play inan short. Danny Sink Staff Writer sports commentary The Rugby team in action in a match last fall at State Farm field (photo courtesy of Intramural Sports office) Compare that with football, where even with protective equipment someone is being carried off the field every time you turn around, and the athletic ability necessary to play Rugby becomes obvious. Rugby has been at Appalachian for quite a while now. When the team was first getting started, Appalachian would not recognize the team as being in affilia­ tion with the school. A few guys got to­ gether that lived on Aho road (hence the name) and started up their own team. When App finally recognized the team, they just added the school's name to the one they already had. Rugby is known as "the hooligans Women's soccer picks up win over conference foe UTC Eric Ehlers & Kathy Bean Staff Writers ; Coming off a disappointing loss '•against Charleston Southern last week, the Lady Mountaineers looked to re­ bound with a win over conference rival Tennessee-Chattanooga. The UTC Moccasins came to Kidd Brewer stadium posting a 1-3 record and an 0-1 conference record. The match marked the first game against a confer­ ence rival this season. The ladies came out aggressively, with the defense playing tough through­ out the first half. The ladies limited UTC to only two shots on goal in the first half, i Goalie Kelly Guinn of Adanta, Ga. helped lead the defense giving up no goals. The App defense was led by senior Carolyn Mahoney of Charlotte, N.C. and junior Becky Neal of KernersvQIe, N.C. | However the Moccasins played good defense also, allowing ten shots on goal with no score. Farell O'Quinn of Char­ lotte, N.C. led all shooters with three shots in the first half. The beginning of the second half was 3 continuance of the defensive standoff. Both teams would not let up on each other until the 61:01 mark of the game. Shelly Erickson of Charlotte, N.C., headed in a shot to put the Mountain' eers up 1-0. The shot was set up on a 11 corner kick from Katie Hand of Charlotte, kC. The Mountaineers would keep Tenn-Chattanooga out of the goal in r°ute to a shutout. Offense was a big reason for the win. The ladies outshot the Moccasins 22 - 4. The ladies also had 12 corner kicks com­ pared to no corner kicks by Tenn- Chat­ tanooga. Farell O'Quinn lead all shoot­ ers with five shots on goal. The defense only allowed four shots on goal to create the shutout. "It was a good win. Our team had been struggling but tonight they showed their potential," said coach Tracy Davis. After this big win, the Lady Moun­ taineers headed to Greenville, S.C. to face the Furman University Paladins. Al­ though the game was kept close in the first half, Furman did prevail 4-2. In the first half, Furman scored at the 6:34 making the score 1-0. Melissa Sutton of Furman University followed this up with the first of her three goals. In immediate response, Appalachian State freshman Allison Robinson from Huntersville, NC scored with an assist by sophomore Megan Kennedy out of Kemersville, NC. The Lady Apps' Allison Osborne, a sophomore out of Raleigh, NC, scored to tie it up before the half. However, Furman came out strong in the second half. Melissa Sutton scored two more goals for the Paladins, giving her a hat trick for the night. Furman had 16 shots on goal, com­ pared to Appalachian State's 10. Both teams had five saves. Osborne lead the Lady Apps with three shots on goal. According to Brian Lee, coach for the Paladins, "It was a tight game. The crowd helped tremendously in motivating our girls to pull ahead in the second half." The Lady Mountaineers are now 2-6 overall and 1-1 in the Southern Confer­ ence. Appalachian State will be on the field again on Saturday, September 28 against East Carolina in Asheville, NC. sport played by gentlemen." It seems only fitting that the team's motto would come from William Shakespeare: "He today that bleeds with me is my brother." Joe "Eli" Caldwell, President of ASU Rugby, said that the best quality that the team has is heart. "You can be fast or you can be big, but for this game you have to have heart." Treasurer Matt Swaney said, "We're almost more friends than we are team­ mates." Swaney thought that even if he was not playing Rugby, he would still hang out and party with the guys on the team. The camaraderie that this team has is amazing. The guys from the Rugby team are known as their "own kind of frater­ nity," says Zelch. The hard hitting team from ASU is well on their way to a great season, with a win over the Marines of Camp Lajune in their last game. Zelch scored the winning try of the game in the 14-12 victory. This Saturday, one of the biggest Rugby rivals with ASU is renewed against Western Carolina. Game time is 11:00 a.m. at the State Farm fields. Rugby, the hits and the blood, the friends and the camaraderie, the game and the parties. It's a game where for 80 minutes, gentlemen really do become hard hitting hooligans. Mountaineers gear up for The Citadel Chris Kinner Assistant Sports Editor wart defensive front. ASU allowed the Colonels only 17 rush yards, and oppos­ ing teams are averaging a meager 1.4 yards per rush against the Mountaineers. This does not bode well for the Bulldogs, who predominantly use the rushing at­ tack. Last season, The Citadel gained 322 yards on the ground against Appalachian.

Northern Iowa (3) For too many of the students at ASU that were raised in this part of the coun­ try, Sept. 29,1996 holds a special mean­ ing. That Sunday will mark the last time that the NASCAR Winston Cup Series will ever roar through the hills of the North Wilkesboro Speedway. I myself can remember the first time that I ever went to a Winston Cup event. It was here at North Wilkesboro. We sat in the cheap seats down near the exit of the third turn leading into the straightaway With all the beating and the banging, the tire smoke and passing it was the most exciting thing I had ever seen. That track has a lot of significance to the racing world. It represents many of the small tracks that NASCAR grew from. Wilkesboro saw the rise of the Petty"s and Earnhardt's, the Wallaces and Elliots. It has watched the young blood of NASCAR like Jeff Gordon and Bobby Labonte grow into formidable advisories for the more experienced past champions and series winners. Now as the sport has started to grow into the national spotlight with wide television and radio coverage, North Wilkesboro has been sold out. The races that were formally in the North Carolina foothills have now been given to the New Hampshire Motor Speedway and to the new Texas Speed­ way currently under construction. So why is it that the trend of NASCAR seems to be moving away from the small tracks and more to the Super Speedways like Daytona and Talladega? Sure the speeds near and over 200 mph are exciting, but so is the! bumping and grinding that goes on at the Bristols and North Wilkesboros. NASCAR has always had that edge over Indy Car racing because they could slam fenders and trade paint. Now with these higher speeds and bigger tracks the touch and run style is being taken from the drivers. You just cannot lean on another car at 180-205 mph plus at an Indianapolis. That is why you have the short tracks, to mix and match the races, have something for everyone. So where is NASCAR heading? With this non-points test race in Japan after the season it would seem that the sport is moving more and more toward an Indy car style format. NASCAR fans like the accessibility that they have to races and drivers. Moving the races farther from their "NASCAR heartland" may very well expand the sport to a greater number of fans, but at what cost? Is it worth losing the connection between the fans and the drivers to have a larger audi­ ence? Is it worth losing touch with the excitement of the short track for higher speeds. In this writer's opinion it surely is not. NASCAR racing belongs on the small tracks. On Sept. 29 I'll make my last trip to a track that I learned to love, where I watched my favorite driver run to the checkers, where I can see the past champions in tomorrow's stars. Someday I hope that NASCAR will realize that it's future is also in the past. The same style of racing that people use to like when Richard Petty and Cale Yarborough were racing is still popular today. As long as there are people who love the smell of gas and burnt rubber there are going to be people that love the tight turns of the short track. They love the slopes of the tracks that shoot spinning cars across the track in a whirl­ wind of explosive action. North Wilkesboro may never host a major stock car event again, and that would be a true shame. For a true NASCAR fan, the final race will hold mixed emotions. The thrill of the vic­ tory for some will be able to place them in an ecstatic state of rejoice. For others the fall of the checkered flag will mean the passing on of an old friend, the ending of a legacy. NASCAR in North Wilkesboro will be gone with the win.

The consistent play of Appalachian State's freshman goalie phenom Brandon James of Weston, Pa. has earned him Southern Conference men's soccer player of the week honors. James put up stellar numbers last week by shutting out both East Carolina and Davidson as Appalachian went 2-0 on the week. James was shot on 22 times last week, coming up with 16 saves. For the season, he is 3-1 in four starts while compiling 360 minutes in goal, 28 saves, and three shutouts while only allowing four balls into the net during that time. "Brandon played super last week," said Head Coach Art Rex. "He is 3-1 in goal for us. He is working out really well."

Calendar committee finalizes schedule •Spring break unchanged, Easter vacation revised Pam Griffin Assitant News Editor The Appalachian State University Calendar Committee met on Sept. 18 to discuss final revisions of the 1997-99 cal­ endar in accordance with the North Caro­ lina General Administration's mandate. The committee was given the dif­ ficult task of incorporating 75 full class days into the schedule instead of the origi­ nal 72. The committe, composed of pro­ fessors and directors from various depart­ ments as well as the SGA President, con­ vened one last time to make final revi­ sions, each of them voicing their opinions on the changes in the calendar. After much debate, final deci­ sions that were made included Spring Break remaining March 2-6 and Easter Break changing from Thursday and Friday Break to be held in coordination with the of Easter weekend to Monday and Tues­ Easter Holiday. day.

The issue regarding the dates of Easter vacation was also discussed at the Calendar Committee Meeting. In the past, students have been given Friday and Mon­ day off, splitting the vacation days with a weekend. Joel Williams, Professor of The­ atre and Dance and Chairman of the Cal­ endar Committee said, "Scientists have the biggest problem with splitting those days out." This disrupts the science department because two weeks of lab are affected in­ stead of one. According to William Dobson, the science department has lost money be­ cause they are having to throw lab mate­ rials away due to the cancelled labs dur­ ing vacation. "The fewer weeks we can frag­ ment, the better off we are," says Dobson. The committee must present the new calendar to the UNC General Admin­ istration before September 24 for ap­ proval. �Page 2 The Appalachian 24 A burner, these items at fast Average price of ' fries end IIIW OIIU 7 . 3 a drink food chains in se|ected cjfies 1996 1 $7.62 Paris London Los Angeles $6.83 $5.80 $4.15 Toronto E $4.00 Mexico City $3.63 SOURCE: Runzhelmer International; research byPATCARR Advertise in The Appalachian For more information call Matt Jones at 262-2157 The Highland Biology Club held a clean-up of the woods near South Lot over the weekend.

It is .j,e second year Meister l)aS won recognition and cash award from the American Society of Composers, Artists and publishers. The award re­ flects the society's connnued commitment to assisting and encouragjng writers of serious jnusic. The award is granted by an indepen­ dent panel and based on the unique prestige value of each writer's catalog of original com­ positions as well as recent performances of those works in areas not surveyed by the society. Meister has more than 50 pub­ lished works, and his compositions have been performed around the world. Of his more recent works, "Higaz," was per­ formed at this year's Spoleto Festival in Charleston, S.C. His work was one of 12 selected for performance from more than 250 submissions. The work was influenced by Meister's Arabic music studies and incorpo­ rates Arabic melodies and rhythms. This year's ASCAP panelists were Harold Best, dean of the Wheaton Conser­ vatory of Music, Michael Morgan, mu­ sic director of the Oak­ land-East Bay Sym­ phony, Tim Page, au­ thor and classical music critic for the "Washington Post" rmtW* and H.

You should leave the option up to the students to decided if they can handle it.

Opinion Don't let society forget God My Turn by Joy Stanley Columnist Every time I read the newspaper or hear the news, there is always something that seems to sad­ den my heart. The distressing part is that this gen­ eration has a disgusting way of expressing itself, and in the future it is only going to get worse. As I read the sports section of last Tuesday's pa­ per, I was appalled at the statement Chris Kinner made about athletes being "overly appreciative." What is wrong with thanking the Lord for your talents and skills, especially if you feel that He is the one who supplies you with all of your needs? When 1 think about my supportive friends, wonderful room­ mate, and the breath of life itself, I have to stop and thank God. I know a lot of things that have happened (in my favor) are not because of what I have done, but be­ cause of what He has done. And if that means I am "overly appreciative", then I will gladly live the rest of my life that way. "Always give thanks to God the Father for every­ thing, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."Ephesians 5:20 Remember how some of us used to get whip­ pings for doing something wrong? Or we at least showed some evidence or sign of home training. What happened? Now there are parents who say they cannot control their three-year-olds; there are children at the mere age of 10 who have mur­ dered; and the juvenile halls are getting more * crowded every day. And then we wonder why the system is not get­ ting any respect. It is because people do not care. Psychologists say that children are damaged from punishment, but look at how much damage is being done by not disciplining them. I do not mean par­ ents should beat their children, but they should dis­ cipline them in a manner where the children will understand that they should not repeat the wrong again. "He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him promptly." - Proverbs 13:24 Our society is heavily influenced by the maga­ zines we read, the television shows we see, and the music we hear. A good percentage of all of it has something negative to portray. Guess who is influ­ enced by it the most? The younger generation. When we were little, we were not exposed to cartoons like "Ren & Stimpy" or "Beavis & Butthead", or music that constantly preached premarital sex, violence, drugs, and suicide. The world today is more cold, cruel, and ruthless than ever. People are not as honest as they once were, they cannot be trusted, or even stand by their word. Just because I am a Christian, does not mean that I am perfect, or that my life is always great and fantastic. I am going through some of the same trials that the next person is going through. The only differ­ ence is that I honor, respect, obey, and believe in the One who has created me and cares for me. And that is what lightens the load of everyday life in a world that has turned its back on God. "For the Lord has comforted His people and will have mercy on His afflicted." - Isaiah 49:13 It is best that the people of this world learn how to recognize and remember God, because we are all in for a wide awakening.

When walking to class, one only has to look up to see the beautiful mountains that encircle Boone. It would be a shame 110 spend four years, and for some of us even longer, at ASU and not take advan­ tage of the resources that abound through­ out the surrounding area. Outdoor Programs is an organization here on campus that is designed to help people do just that. For anyone who has ever wanted to go rock climbing or white water kayaking, but has never had the opportunity, Out­ door Programs is there for you. Any stu­ dent or faculty member at ASU can take advantage of Outdoor Programs. No experience is needed. All you have to do is stop by their office, located in the plemmons Student Union, and sign up. The organization offers numerous trips including everything from caving and mountaineering, to canoeing and funyaking. And for those of you who would like to set out on your own, Out­ door Programs also offers canoes, tents, sleeping bags and much more that can be rented. Matt D. Kwartler, a sophomore from Jacksonville, Florida, says that one of the great things about Outdoor Programs is the fact that it is mainly student run. Anyone who is interested can get involved. One of the most recent things that Kwartler was involved in was an overnight white water kayaking trip that took place Sept. 21 and 22. One of the exciting things about this trip, Kwartler said, was partici­ pants that had no prior experience were going to be able to kayak class three wa­ ters, a difficult task without an experi­ enced instructor. Many more trips such as this are planned throughout the year. On Oct. 5-6, Outdoor Programs will be taking its first trip out to the Turtle Is­ land Preserve, an environmental educa­ tion center and nature preserve owned by Eustace Conway, in Watauga County. On this trip, participants will reach back to their roots and try to get back to the natural world by learning primitive outdoor living skills. After a long hard week of class, why not take a trip outside to relax, try some­ thing new or just have some fun? For those of you who came to Appalachian for more than just the academics, Outdoor Programs has something for you. For more information, just stop by the Outdoor Programs office Monday through Friday between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m., or call 262-2475. Climbing onward and upward, an Appalachian student looks for the next finger hold. (Photo provided by Outdoor Programs) 't Was Five Years Ago Today John Starling Editor Five years ago today, the music world forever changed. All it took was a Je (albeit remarkable, ground-breakfabulous, etc...) album; Nirvana's albums or artists aren't rel­ it or even around after five years in i business. Things change and so do ople's tastes. So, it's particularly amazto me that the album that brought Be whole "alternative revolution"still ages to sound fresh and vital today. If there was ever a hostile yet oportune time for change, 1991 was the fr for it. The political mood of America staunchly conservative, with Presint Bush in office and the country still ig from the effects of the gulf war. (music world was captive to the hair bands of the Eighties and the one hit won­ ders of the pop world. Late that summer, the radios and TVs of the world got a taste of things to come with the success of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit." They wanted more. On Sept. 24, they got it. Nirvana's second album, Nevermind, lived up to the expectations of underground and main­ stream music fans who had been excited by 'Teen Spirit" the month before. The undergroimd fans were relieved by the fulfillment of the prophesies provided by such bands as The Velvet Underground, The Replacements, Jane's Addiction and R.E.M. The mainstream fans saw their opportunity to break away from the hohum rock that the record industry had continuously pumped out to them in the Eighties. Nevermind's effects are still being felt today. Nirvana paved the way for such later success stories as Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins and Bush. Pearl Jam and Soundgarden were spotlighted in the ini- tial wave of Seattle bands that were given a chance as a result of Nirvana. Green Day took the raw poppiness of Nirvana and injected it with punk. The Smashing Pumpkins elaborated on the Nirvana sound even more and have been elevatec from cult heroes to rock stars. Bush-noth ing but a British Nirvana, folks. If we were being brutally honest, Nirvana changec things in the music world and none of the bands that we hear today would be here if it wasn't for them. The cultural repercussions o Nevermind were quite interesting, as well. The sloppy look became marketable be­ cause of Nirvana and similar bands People went out looking for old, trashy merchandise, including guitars, cars and records. It was finally cool to be thrifty. After Nevermind, our generation wasn't force-fed the same old crap being recycled on the radio and that equated to us not settling for the same old crap in any other medium: politically, socially or economically. But that's just me, isn't it. Oh, well, whatever, nevermind... Sublime's new album is subpar Jim Hazen Reporter In the world of underground ska/ Punk bands, there are a lot of angry People. These people are mainly angry at those bands who de­ rided they are not much bet­ ter off than the rest of the sellnuts, and have sold out as well. They actually had enough dis­ respect for their art to sign with a big label and make some money. With this influx of sell-out rockers, have come bands in­ cluding the annoyingly apolo­ getic No Doubt (the sellout band that has still managed to remain cooler than everyone rise), Rancid and Sublime. However, Sublime is sepa­ rated from the gang by a little something people tend to look Past. That would be talent. Sublime's eclectic mix of ska, punk, reggae and hip-hop sampling is interesting and admirable, if not enjoyable. Sublime's latest, and last, self-titled disk (MCA) was released a c°upl of months after lead singer/guie tarist, Bradley Nowell's death this sum­ mer. Yet another rock n' roll tragedy, one Would expect an album with references te struggles with drug abuse and addic­ tion. This album has references to such problems, yet the lyrics are almost a cel­ ebration of days spent under the influence of dangerous substances. It would seem well and good if it was just good fun and Rolling Stones-esque rock living, but this man is dead. Think about that the next time you hear Sub­ lime playing at a party. Not that you necessarily would want to play it at a party; the first few songs would be great. Jump up and down, dance, knock each other over, etc. Good party fun. But after about the sixth song, someone will start demanding to know who put the CD on repeat. That is exactly what the CD is about musically. It goes from catchy, to mildly amusing, to boring, to mildly annoying, to begging your roommate to shoot you. If you do not like ska, stay away from this album. If you like ska, you will not for a while afterwards. Lyrically, if you're really into drugs, drive-bys, and women's various parts all being discussed in about 37,000 (actu­ ally, just 17 very long, annoying) songs, then this is for you. As a bonus, every song makes some ref­ erence to smoking marijuana! It's good that they had something to say. It is sad, however, that three very tal­ ented individuals smoked (or in some way wasted) their tal­ ent away, leaving two without a band and the most talented member dead. When the next rock drug tragedy happens, I only hope the person can leave more of a public legacy than a celebra­ tion of what killed them packaged in dis­ gusting artwork. Two stars BlueHags shake your booty Jim Hazen Reporter For any of you out there who have no idea what ragtime is, I give you exhibit A: the Blue Rags. Look up "ragtime" in the dictionary, and you will see it is an old jazz style char­ acterized by strong syncopation in fast, even time. So, what does that mean? Well, it means that when you hear this music, you are going to get up out of your seat and shake your booty. But who are The Blue Rags? The Blue Rags hail from Asheville, and have been around in some way or another for about four years. They have mainly played in the Southeast in areas such as Atlanta, Charleston, and Raleigh, but also had some gigs in Switzerland. The Rags have always had a strong following in the Boone area, and have done extremely well whenever they have played up here. The band consists of a stand-up bass, drums, piano, two guitars, and harmonica player/singer, Abe Reid. In an Asheville newspaper article, Reid is described as sounding at times like Louis Armstrong. Describing their music is a challenge. Though ragtime is the most prevalent part of the mixture, there is a also a little bit of blues, funk, bluegrass, jam, and boogie. Jacob Holly, the Rags' piano-player, said that the Blue Rags are playing "the poor man's ragtime." This differs from the Squirrel Nut Zippers, who play the "rich man's ragtime" and swing. Holly went on to say this is the older ragtime music that was popular a little bit before the turn of the century. The Blue Rags have no albums as of yet, but are negotiating with Sub Pop Records (previous home of acts like Nir­ vana, Soundgarden, and Screaming Trees) for a record deal. Rumor has it, that if the deal goes through, Greg Dulli of the Afghan Whigs will produce the album. It is puzzling why a label such as Sub Pop, known for pioneering the grunge grunge. Actually, Sub Pop has been mining this new alternative music such as Combus­ tible Edison for the last few years now. The label is looking to branch out to these new kinds of music that are becoming in­ creasingly popular. The APPS Stage Shows council is bringing The Blue Rags to Appalachian on Sept. 26th at Legends. Tickets are $3 in advance and $5 at the door.

Head Football Coach Jerry Moore led Hardy's 10-15 passing, 121 yard [Shing performance, "...his best football une." The junior threw for 161 yards on s 10 completions, averaged 8.6 yards per ish, and most importantly, did not turn e ball over once. Hardy also accounted for both of the ountaineer touchdowns on runs of seven 123 yards. Hardy's second touchdown n in the fourth quarter was one of the ys plays that sealed the victory for ASU. ashing through the Colonel defensive ne, Hardy forced his way through crowds i fEKU jerseys at the three-yard line and jal line to score the Apps final touchjwn which put them up 21-7 with 4:15 go. , When EKU threatened to make a imeback, it was Hardy who again proved Jmeback, it was Hardy who again proved tO b0 the Colonels linrlninn After ri/TT to be the Cnlnnplc undoing. AIVa* EKU quarterback Greg Couch led his team on an 80-yard scoring drive to bring the score to 21-14 with 2:38 to go, Hardy took the Mountaineers deep into Colonel territory by saving the drive with 38-yard run on third down to seal the victory for Appala­ chian. Also having a big night for Appala­ chian was senior place-kicker Jay Sutton of Wingate, N.C. who scored the Apps first six points of the game on field goals of 30 and 22 yards, respectively, in the first half. Senior running back Damon Scott of Ce­ dar Grove, N.C. had another big night on the ground, rushing for 123 yards on 23 carries to give him 453 yards in three games this season. Coach Moore called the game "a good solid win" in which the team played physi­ cally and "did some things we needed to do." Moore said the only drawback to the victory was the loss of senior center Scott Kadlub. The Ail-American out of Palm Harbor, Fla., went down late in the sec­ ond quarter with a sprained knee and did not return in the second half. The win put the Apps at 2-1 heading into Southern Conference play, while EKU dropped to 0-3 for the first time since 1934. The Mountaineers first conference game comes this Saturday at Kidd Brewer Stadium against The Citadel, who were winners against Western Carolina on Sat­ urday. The game starts at 1:00 p.m., but ar­ rive early to avoid the large crowd ex pected to accompany parents' weekend weekend.

Watching the wildcard race Jason Somerville Staff Writer sports commentary j Just two short years ago, following a i irike-ending 1994 season, the commandig officers in Major League Baseball deided*to implement a brand new playoff (stem. The old system consisted of two Efferent divisions in both the National nd American Leagues, and only the winlers of those divisions went on to play in championship series. The winners of j hat series would then go on to play in lie World Series. Well, in the new system, there are three different divisions in each League, and the winners of those divisions move on to post-season play, along with a wildcard team (team with the best record that is not a division winner). The divi­ sion winner with the best record plays the wildcard team, and the two other division winners play each other. Then those win­ ners play in a championship series, and the winner of the championship series in each league play each other in the World Series. Well, when this new system was de­ cided upon, all of a sudden there were baseball purists and traditionalists com­ ing out of the woodwork. Everyone screamed how this system would ruin the game and completely destroy the sanctity of October baseball. Well, I have only one thing to say: Where are the baseball pur­ ists now? In a sport that badly needed some­ thing to bring back fans, 1996 has been, and will continue to be, one of the most exciting years ever in baseball, and it is all because of the new playoff system. Not only have the playoff races been close, but the wildcard races are closer and more exciting than almost all of the division races. Here it is Sept. 22nd, and in the American League alone, there are five dif­ ferent teams with legitimate playoff shots, and one team, the Cleveland Indians, who have already clinched a playoff berth. What's more exciting than that? Then you add to that the fact that the Seattle Mariners, who have come back from nine games behind just two weeks ago, are only one game out of first place in the American League West. The Mari­ ners are also only a half game out of first place in the wildcard race, which makes things even more interesting. Along with the Mariners in the Ameri­ can League, the Baltimore Orioles are cur­ rently in first place in the wildcard race and only four and a half games away from The North Carolina Club Football League includes teams from Appalachian State University, Western Carolina Univer­ sity, North Carolina State University, the University of North Carolina and Duke. Wake Forest and the University of North Carolina-Charlotte are also looking to join the league. Faculty, students and just about anyone associated with the univer­ sity can play. Some of the guys are just out of high school. Others on the team are as old as 30. No previous experience is necessary, but some people have some high school or some junior college experience. There are usually 45 to 50 players on the team each year. The crew starts practicing at the end of the summer to prepare for the fall sea­ son. Practices are held three times a week during football season. Unlike intramural football, the Appa­ lachian State team plays other teams that are in the league, not other teams in the school. They also play full contact foot­ ball, not flag football. The players go out there and pound on each other. This is the closest thing to varsity football with­ out actually being on the varsity team. Most games are played on a Saturday evening or a Sunday afternoon. On Sun­ day, Sept. 22, the "Black Death" defeated the semi-pro Caldwell Generals, shutting them out by the score of 42-0. The team's next two games will be at NC State this Sunday and the following weekend at Duke. On Oct. 12, the squad will have a chance at Gallaudet Univer­ sity, a Division III team. On Sunday, Oct. 27, Appalachian State will host Western Carolina. This year "Black Death" is off to a 2-0 start. Last year, Appalachian State went to the league championship and wound up losing to the University of North Caro­ lina by one point. This year, Appalachian State will be the host of the North Caro­ lina Club Football League championship game. Club football can still accept players. To sign up, show up at a practice, which is Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 6 p.m. at the State Farm fields, or call the president, Matt Fussel at 963-5166. There are $60 club dues, which includes play­ ing equipment. If you are aching to see a really good football game, check out some club foot­ ball action. The men, as Fussel said, take it "as serious[ly] as any varsity team." It's a fun filled afternoon of football action, and it's free. the first place Yankees in the East. The Texas Rangers are holding on to a slim one game lead over Seattle, and the Chi­ cago White Sox are just two and a half games out of the wildcard lead. All this adds up to nothing but great baseball ex­ citement in September and October. The National League also has some great races unfolding. Yes, the Atlanta Braves have all but wrapped up a playoff berth, but in the NL West, the Padres and Dodgers are running neck and neck, and they play two more three-game series' head-to-head. Those same Padres, who are just one game off the lead in the West, are leading the wildcard race by half a game over yet another team, the Montreal Expos. In the Central Division, St. Louis is holding on to a five game lead over the Houston Astros, but the Astros have some firepower at the plate and have an oppor­ tunity to catch the Cardinals should they falter. So, in the National League, there are also five, possibly six teams with real chances to make it to post-season play. What all of this boils down to is the disappearance of all of those baseball pur­ ists that were so vocal just two years ago. The wildcard race has been like a respira­ tor for the game of baseball the past two years. I say respirator because baseball was a game and a past-time on the verge of dying. It lost a great number of fans when it shot itself in the head by allow­ ing a strike over petty money issues. But now baseball is alive and well, and nothing makes me happier than to see more people watching baseball in Sep­ tember than football. So, all of you pur­ ists out there who were so set against the new playoff system, where are you now? I'll tell you where they are; they're at home, glued in front of the television set, watching the Mariners, Orioles, White Sox, Padres, and Expos battle for a wildcard spot in this year's Major League Baseball playoffs. Apps pick up wins over Club Football : join "Black Death or die" Davidson and ECU - Kathy Bean h- Staff Writer ' sports feature I Club football is a bunch of guys "just lout here to have fun" according to club President Matt Fussel. | Scholarships, press coverage and feme are not in these guys' vocabulary.

"Black Death"in action at Kidd Brewer Stadium (photo courtesy of lt)tramural Office) David Jackson Staff writer It is important for a team to peak at the right time. The Appalachian State University Men's Soccer team has picked the right time to do it. The Mountaineers went 2-0 last week by beating conference foe Davidson and a solid East Carolina team. Wednesday night, junior Naoshi Yamauchi, of Chapel Hill, netted the game's lone goal with less than two min­ utes remaining in the contest to give App the 1-0 victory. "I was just in the right place at the right time," said Yamauchi. "1 just hung back and looked for the ball and luckily it came to me." Appalachian continued their winning ways by downing East Carolina 4-0 Sun­ day afternoon. After a scoreless first half, Turner final half, two of which were compiled by Allison Park, Pa. native Kevin "firmer. "We played today like we have played the whole season," said Head Coach Art Rex. "The only difference today was that we were able to take advantaee of some opportunities that we haven't capitalized on in the past." The Mountaineer's success is partly due to the solid play of freshman goalie Brandon James, of Weston, Pa. Through Sunday's game, James has compiled 28 saves on the season, only allowing four goals, while racking up three shutouts in four games. "Brandon has worked out real well for us," said Rex. "He is 3-1 in goal, so he's doing very well for us." The Apps put their recent luck to the test in the coming weeks.

Water outage inconveniences students Jay Konstantaras News Editor Students living in east campus residence halls won't be taking water for granted anytime soon. Five of the eight residence halls on the east side of campus went without water for nearly nine hours after a sixinch water line beneath the parking lot adjacent to Lovill Residence Hall broke around 3 p.m. Monday. According to Patrick Brittain, as­ sistant director of engineering for the Physical Plant, water from the cracked pipe seeped into the underground steam tunnel, where it quickly condensed and began to boil. Steam quickly built up below ground, forcing workers to open manhole covers to alleviate the pressure. Steam also backed up into Founders Hall. To isolate the source of the leak, engineers shut off water to Cannon, Daughton, Hoey, Lovill and White Resi­ dence Halls around 4:30 p.m. "We didn't know where the leak was," said Brittain. "We had to start dig­ ging up the sidealk to find it." Shutting off the water to the dorms took students by surprise. "I thought it was kind of funny that we had to walk over to Cone to use the bathroom," said Erin Gnadt, a freshman who lives in White resdience hall. The outage was an added incon­ venience for residents of Coffey, Cone and East, who were forced to endure the in­ flux of students from the halls without water. "Everyone in the dorms without water had to come over here to use the showers," said junior Amber Whittaker, a resident of Cone Hall. After shutting down the water, engineers discovered a sunken area be­ neath the sidewalk in Lovill lot that proved to be the source of the broken water line. Workmen dug up the sidwalk in order to seal and clamp the broken pipe. Water was restored to the residence halls around 12:30 a.m. Brittain estimates the repair costs of the broken line to be between $200 and $300. A water main burst late Monday, causing water outages in residence halls. Water was restored early the next morning.

Due to post tenure review, pro­ fessors at the university level may no longer have any job security. Tenure is a contract in which professors work for ap­ proximately five years and then become permanent members of the staff.

"As it has been used, institutional need cannot be defended," said Dr. Jeff Butts, a professor of biology. "What are the factors of institutional need? We need to define it." The post tenure review would also require students to take at least 15 hours a semester to receive financial aid. If this occurs, some professors may find that their class loads increase, which could cause1 problems with time budgeting. "If this post tenure review be­ comes a reality, then the professors will have no time and it will short change the students," said senior Susanne Faircloth. to Of the 510 full-time faculty holding the rank of assistant professor or above, 359 (70%) were tenured by Appalachian in 1995 Features and Editorials: 262-3104 The projected enrollment for Appalachian State University in 2002 is 12,580 The average verbal score for in-state students was 475 in the fall of '95 while the math score was 516.

Cranford and Poole will be answering call-in questions from students about the issues they are most concerned with on Thurs day, Sept. 19 at 7:30 p.m. They will also appear on The APP on Oct. 10 and Nov. 14. According to Poole, Op­ eration Outreach is a proactive mission which will allow SGA to go out and represent the students. "Instead of waiting for students to come to us, we are going to the students," said Poole. "We are reaching out to the stu­ dents." SGA will attend club and organization meetings to inform students about new information on campus and listen to sugges­ tions, ideas or complaints, accord­ ing to the letter sent to all organi­ zations on campus. Poole says SGA hopes to accomplish three things through Operation Outreach: to inform, to listen and to represent. Poole also said SGA will be using media the office has never used in the past, such as The APR comment cards and the university's vax system. "We're pulling out all the stops to represent students," said Poole. 16 hours 437 mj m1' 7 6,737 mi. 14 hours, 30 mins. 6,450 mi. 1 14 hours, 30 mins.

Josh Hedrick Columnist jo narcs is good news Here at The Appalachian we think that having ndercover police officers (narcs) posing as students i the residence halls on campus is a bad solution to minor problem. At the close of last year, after the final issue of •he Appalachian had been printed, there was a big [rug bust in East Hal1- The students arrested for drug jolations were caught by an undercover narcotics fficcr. We think that this was a very unnecessary jeasure taken by the Boone Police and the univerity administration. When students move into the residence halls, hey are told time and time again that illegal drugs re not tolerated. If students wish to break the law fld abuse drugs, they should only be punished if heir drug use affects their neighbors, roommates or he university in some way. It is our opinion that tudents who don't bother others within the residence alls should be left alone to live whichever way they loose. We acknowledge that drugs can cause problems [or students. It is important for students to be cogni­ zant when in class, however, what they do with their social life shouldn't be any of the university's business unless it infringes on the rights of other stuients. Living in the residence halls, it is hard enough to jet any privacy without someone posing as a stulent on your floor. The last thing that students need s a narc snooping around, trying to catch them breakng the law. Having narcs in the residence halls is an underlanded way of trying to control students. What narcs raditionally do is try to sell drugs to people in the opes that they will want to buy. When the people 0 buy, the narcs arrest them. , We think that such behavior in the residence halls ; called entrapment. This is against the law. If the university wants to curb drug use in the :sidertce halls (which we think is a good effort) they lould try drug education and alternate methods, lying to entrap students is playing with fire. College life calls for some types of experimentaon. For some students this means that they want to enture into the world of drugs. Most students, howrer, do not develop problems with illegal drugs. The last point we'd like to make about narcs in le residence halls is that it totally undermines the Jthority of ASU Police. Who's going to take them seriously if the univerty doesn't even trust them to handle drug problems 1 the residence halls? And, where does the Search id Seizure policy fit into all this? Wasn't it created i discourage students from engaing in any illegal ttivity in their room? Dr. Blimling said that the university plans to connue using narcs in the residence halls in the future, fe think that such action should be immediately opped. Students deserve to be treated with respect id fairness. Having narcs trying to entrap students ies against both of these ideas.

Developments on ridge lines, overcrowded roads, and the perpetual haze that obscures our view of the spectacular homes on the side of Howard's Knob; these are all merely symptoms of a greater disease. There is no cure-all, no simple shot or pill that can eradicate the destruction that we have brought upon ourselves. No longer can we fall back solely on the ideal of recycling and reusing, nor can we merely pump more money into some government research program. Environmental destruction has become too wide­ spread. Radical changes must occur in the way people view the world around them. We look at a politician's pie charts and accept the lie that the environment is actually improving. The only thing that is improving is our ability as a society to overlook the warning signs of a dying planet. We have lost touch with nature in the most fundamental sense. That is, we have lost the spiri­ tual connection our ancestors had with the natural world. The only way to regain the natural link is to ven­ ture out into the woods and away from our indus­ trial society. Opportunity for this escape is limited by work and classes and many other excuses. There is a solution. It is called a greenway. Now comes the question that is on every inquir­ ing mind, "What is a greenway?" In the same year as the first Earth Day, 1970, a graduate student at North Carolina State University began a grassroots movement in America to establish natural corridors, for the purpose of taking people out of their cars and returning them to nature, whether on foot or bike. The establishment of the Capital Area Greenway in Raleigh led other cities to see the vital role greenways can play in a community and on the world. Boone and Blowing Rock have received a grant from the state to begin to improve the alternative transportation options in the area. Part of this grant is to establish greenways. The only way to remove the mental shackles that people have with their automobiles is to give them a viable alternative to driving. A greenway serves this purpose. Even though River Street has a designated bike lane, construction has a tendency to eliminate the entire two feet of safety zone. Swerving into traffic to avoid a bulldozer is the biggest nightmare of ev­ ery biker in Boone. More people would walk or ride their bikes if they did not have to worry about dodging cars. A greenway provides a safe, vehiclefree pathway in which people can safely travel from one point to another. More important is that this pathway is a simple way to escape to nature even if it is for only a short period of time. If we go atout our lives merely dwelling in class­ rooms and sidewalks, we miss out on the "real" world. The Transential thinkers of the late 1800's thought that in nature one could see a reflection of one's own self. I fully agree with this point. The greatest self-realizations I have made have occurred when I was outside of the everyday hustle and bustle of modern American society. When you escape from television, cars, and complex computer systems, you are capable of seeing the simplicity and peace that appears in the natural world. Automobiles have become a Siamese twin of the modern human. No reason seems good enough to force us to cut away the steering wheel from our hands. Greenways are not the sole remedy for the prob­ lem, but they are a major step forward. Every year, Americans pump millions of dollars into the build­ ing of new roads and the maintenance of old ones. It is long past time to stop constructing highways and start creating greenways. A radical change in people's thinking will not come over night, but this is no reason to give up on the idealistic dream that there will still be a world for the next generation to dwell in. Henry David Thoreau began his essay, "Walking" with a statement which sums up my own views bet­ ter than any combination of words I could manufac­ ture concerning the place of humans in the world. "I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute free­ dom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil -to regard man as an inhabitant, or part and parcel of Nature, rather than a member of society." Cornel West and higher education Guest Edirorial by Dr. Nick Biddle Cornel West graced our campus on Convocation day. For all who attended his speech at the ceremony and/or his roundtable discussion in the afternoon, congratulations. Cornel West spoke the truth, which is always inspiring if not necessarily comforting. He spoke about history, culture and hope. The 20th century, he pointed out, is the most gruesome period in human history. People have murdered 200 million other people this century. Ide­ ologies of race, nation and economy have turned people irrational. Struggles by some to implant one or another ideological system on others have resulted in mass slaughter. The disease remains with us — witness Rwanda, Bosnia and Chechnya. As we face the 21st century, there is little reason for optimism, but an ultimate need for hope. History, Dr. West suggested, is the source of hope. By digging into the past, we find the details of a dif­ ferent set of struggles — struggles for freedom, jus­ tice and wisdom. Those endeavors share a common theme, democracy. Never easy or time-efficient, de­ mocracy, nevertheless, is the only system that reveres the human being per se. Citizens in a democracy participate on the as­ sumption of equality. They converse, argue and col­ lectively make the decisions that affect their lives. And they respect the authority of the majority. But when times get tough and it appears that there are too few resources and too many people, democracy breaks down. The United States, of course, is the oldest and most extensive democratic republic on earth. But times are tough, resources are declining and popula­ tion is growing. Cornel West perceives rising despair, born of the economic decline, affecting 80 percent of the population. He fears distrust eroding the body politic. It appears that we live in a dog-eat-dog world. People are too tired for democratic dialogue and too accepting of "me first" behavior. Meanwhile, the rich get richer faster than at any point in the nation's hisT tory. In 1976, the richest one percent of the popula­ tion owned 19 percent of all private wealth. Today the same group owns over twice that amount, that is, the richest people are twice as rich while most of us are poorer. Between 1950 and 1978, that was not true. In that period, income grew 99 percent for the richest fifth of the population and 138 percent for the poorest fifth. We used to grow together. Now we grow apart. "The disease of unrelatedness," (Cornel West's quote of Ezra Pound), spreads to epidemic proportions. In this ambiance of distrust and despair, politicians seem capable only of aspiring to downsize government and cut taxes. But cutting taxes is a primary means to redistribute wealth to the rich. Since the federal tax cuts of the 1980s, annual taxes for 80 percent of the population have increased an average of $81. Taxes for the wealthiest one percent have dropped an average of $49,262. The national deficit has tripled (Statistics from the Campaign for America's Future). Downsizing and cutting taxes not only enrich the rich at the expense of the majority, they threaten public education. To compensate for less tax rev­ enue, both federal and state governments have placed public education on the chopping block. In 1995, the North Carolina legislature attempted to cut $100 million from the UNC-system budget in a year of tax revenue surplus. Poor financial support is blamed for Appalachian State's five-notch drop in US News and World Report's ratings. Meanwhile, legislators have enacted an educa­ tion bill (House Bill 229) containing new mandates that assume the following: 1) universities are waste­ ful; 2) professors don't teach enough; 3) student population will nearly double in the next ten years; and 4) state revenues will not cover the costs. Working upon these assumptions, legislators are considering raising the minimum number of credit hours a student must take for full-time status from the current 12 hours to 15. Their logic is that stu­ dents will study more and finish faster. If that mea­ sure is taken, professors will probably have to teach 15 hours instead of 12 as is the current norm. Numerous studies have shown that the sophisti­ cation, content and overall quality of instruction at the university level declines when professors teach more than four courses. It appears that the legisla­ ture cares more about cutting costs than it does about education. Simultaneously, the state received liter­ ally hundreds of millions of dollars more in taxes this year than the legislature expected. Again, there is a revenue surplus. For Cornel West, the "tradition of struggle" for freedom and justice can only be kept alive through education. But education is under assault. Students must stand up and defend the university. Tell your parents, call your representatives. Appalachian State University and the UNC-system are being downsized and the quality of your education is at risk. Think about what is good at ASU and ask yourself what will happen if students are required to take more cred­ its and professors to teach more classes while state support shrinks. Let us work together to turn this trend around. It is an election season. Who are the candidates that support higher education? What is the voting record of current representatives? Candidates will be on campus regularly through the fall. Attend their vis­ its, question them, find out where they stand. An­ other few years of the current legislative pattern can only harm higher education. Remember that life is precious My Turn by Matt Bielejeski Columnist People today do not really know how much one person can affect them until they are almost gone. I found this out when I almost died in a car wreck this past June. After four days of intensive care, dur­ ing which I was given morphine and Demerol, I was moved to the rehabilitation area of the hospital. In this section, I had physical, occupational and speech therapy from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. It was dur­ ing one of my therapy sessions that I got a visit from someone I hadn't expected to see. The girl who came to visit me was someone I hadn't spoken to in one and a half years. After rela­ tionship problems in April of 1995, we just did not speak to each other. She went off to college in South Carolina that August. When I was lying in the hospital bed at night, I was struck by a sudden inspiration. I had been spared almost certain death. I felt a strong urge to correct any past wrongs, hurt feelings or relationships that had ended badly, like the one that had festered like an open wound for one and a half years. Then and there, I made a mental list of five or six people that I would try my hardest to contact and talk to. When I was released from the hospital two weeks later, I began. As painful and emotionally wrenching as it may be, I urge you to call up or write a letter to a least one person that you have had a falling out with. I started off rather tentatively, calling the people that I had not spoken to for the longest, as these memories were older and hurt a little less. Gradu­ ally, I progressed to a person who was much more recent. As painful as some of these meetings were, all of the people on my mental list agreed to come over and talk. One by one, over a space of two weeks, we sat down on my couch and dredged up old feelings of hurt, resentment and anger. At the end of each talk, both of us felt a lot better about the situation. We weren't best friends by any means, but seeing one another didn't send shivers down our spine anymore. When I talked with the girl who visited me in the hospital, she said she had not planned on talking to me, but if something horrible happened, she would visit. Well, she goWier wish. By the time the process ended last week, I did not feel ready to die, but if I did, I knew I would not have people I cared about hating me. My point to all of this is that we do not know how much time we have on this Earth. I am not a strongly religious person, but I believe whatever con­ trolling force is out there kept me alive for a reason. I was given a second chance at life and I intended to make good on my end of the bargain. As painful and emotionally wrenching as it may be, I urge you to call up or write a letter to a least one person that you have had a falling out with. The chances are, they would like to clear the air as much as you do. All it takes is for you to have the initiative to begin the healing process. Some of this story may sound a bit preachy, and believe me, that is the last thing I want to do. However, if you do finish reading this story, think about it a little, and see if there isn't someone you could talk to. �Page 4 The Appalachian 19 September 199^ *p. Letters to the Editor CampUS Helms Represents North Carolina well Dear Editor: I am writing this letter as a response to another letter to the editor about an article written by a Mr. McKethan. The letter was entitled Jesse Helms is Evil' and written by Cara Parker. Being a native of North Carolina, I would like to take this opportunity to express some of my personal concerns regarding the Honorable Jesse Helms. He is clearly not an evil or vile man, some of his ; polices and beliefs may not be shared by many people ;that hail from north of the Mason-Dixon line. This • doesn't bother me and it shouldn't bother anyone ;from North Carolina. The reason for this is simple; he represents North • Carolinians in Washington DC and not non-residents ;of the state. When you look at his long and distinI guished career as a Senator he has iontinuously been j re-elected by his constituents. If you want to talk campaign finance, Harvey ! Gantt, a native of Charlotte, had to go to extremes to | obtain his funding. He had to put up collection sites ; in far off urban areas such as San Francisco and New York. 1 How many residents of North Carolina live in ; either of those cities? The typical rebuttal of a Gantt supporter is that Helms gets his money from big cor; porations and very wealthy people. Well, which big j companies give him contributions? RJR-Nabisco, L Holly Farms and other agriculture based industry all of which have vested interest in North Carolina from -the production facilities to the farmers who supply >" them. Who are the wealthy people? They are resi­ dents of North Carolina. Ms. Parker, in your letter you eluded to the na­ tional debt. You inaccurately blame the Republican administration for this debt. It is the responsibility of the President to make a budget and outline the administrations planned expenditures for the follow­ ing fiscal year. It is then sent to Congress to be ap­ proved; Congressional approval is required. When people speak of the Gingrich revolution or the Congress elected in 1994, the main focus is the fact that for the first time in forty years the Re­ publicans had control of Congress. So I ask of you Ms. Parker and my fellow Appalachian students; Whom is responsible for our national debt? Now let's see, the statement that Mr. Helms wants to starve our children and keep as many lower in­ come people out of college. Heck, he might as well just run all those people in government housing and on welfare out into the streets and have them starve, because he is an "evil" man. Not really. What Mr. Helms and other Republi­ cans want is people to become responsible for their own lives. To take the federal government's fingers out of their lives and let them stand on their own feet. What you fail to realize is that it is realistic too expect people to do things for themselves. If some people are going to fail, that is expected, but what should not be expected is that the federal govern­ ment to be there to completely take the pain and misery out of their lives. Let's face the facts, life is hard and you must work to survive in our world. I for one am tired of living in a society that pays the way for slackers and winn­ ers. If you think that the lack of student aid is going to keep someone form going to college that really wants to go, you have obviously not heard of the GI Bill. In reality people that support Harvey Gantt want to have everything given to them and those that sup­ port Senator Helms are North Carolinians that are willing to work for their ends to meet. Christopher L. Farr ASU Box 5350 O0G30 Package October 17-20 Dear Editor, The environmental studies area behind the Sta­ dium and Broyhill Inn is a valuable resource for our school. Not only is it a well-used area for biking and hiking, it is also an excellent educational tool for many Appalachian students. There is a growing con­ cern as to whether this area will be available to stu­ dents in the future. With the growth of the univer­ sity comes added development. However, develop­ ment does not have to occur at the price of Boone's largest contiguous forest. Many students decided to attend Appalachian for the beauty of it s natural sur­ roundings. Although many upperclassmen have the opportunity to visit areas such as the Blue Ridge Park­ way, there are numerous students who do not have access to a vehicle. The campus woods provide an excellent area for outdoor recreation. Those students who often use the campus woods as a classroom should express their opinions on the educational value of this area. The administration as well as fac­ are Dear Editor, You're right, computers aren't just for games, but the idea that the internet is saturated with only in­ formation about games and pornography is absurd at best.

Concerts �Appalachian 19 September 1996 Page 5 Features ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT FOCUS Traditional bluegrass found in Greasy Beans Andy Jackins Staff Writer The high, lonesome sound that has echoed through these hills for so many years is getting a shot of life in the form of the Greasy Beans, a group of young men vyho have the vision to continue in the tra­ dition of the late Bill Monroe. Over the years, bluegrass has gone through a series of transitions, moving it toward a popular medium of festival-ori­ ented gala. In 1995, bluegrass music saw over 800 festivals, a stable, yet growing tradition that is continuing to attract larger crowds. The music itself is simple, drawing on a three-chord structure, held together with a strong sense of melody, and telling sto­ res of heartache, hard times and religion, 'giving it a powerful feel of the human con­ dition. Since its beginning, it has continued to mutate into a world of virtuosity with the likes of Don Reno, Bela Fleck, Clarence White, Jerry Douglas, David Grisman and Tony Rice. But underneath all that is the fable, the tale of a lesson to be passed on to the young, an idea so rooted in Ameri­ can tradition that it will never die. The Greasy Beans, a group of gradu­ ates from Warren Wilson College, have been telling that same story for the past five years. The group is comprised of four mem­ bers playing mandolin, banjo, guitar and upright bass. They come from a variety of backgrounds and different musical genres, providing a diversity to the tradi­ tional sound, which they all learned to play together. Josh Haddix is a 23-year-old from Statesville, who plays guitar. He started out in rock n' roll, and his appreciation for melody eventually led him into bluegrass music. That much needed sound of the banjo is'provided by Damon Empfield, a 26-yearold from Cooke County, Illinois who started out on the violin. The high tenor sound of the mando­ lin can be heard coming from soft spoken Charley Brophey, a 26-year-old from up­ state New York. Rounding it out with the unique sound of the upright bass, is 30-year-old John Matteson from New Orleans, Loui­ siana, who came to the group from a heavy metal band. One way or another, they all ended up in bluegrass music and they have found that it is where they are happiest. "We play traditional music because we do it effectively," says Haddix. Empfield chimes in, "And if it wasn't for Warren Wilson, none of this would have ever happened." The Greasy Beans are very lucky in that Warren Wilson allowed them to grow and learn together as a band, and also provided a group of supportive friends who would come out and see them play on campus in their formative stages. When asked specifically what it was that brought them all to this style of mu­ sic, many reasons are railed off. How­ ever, that of simplicity rings the most sig­ nificant. "The music is honest in that it is live music in its truest form, not congested with overdubs," says Haddix. "Mountain living, hunting, fishing and camping have all played a part in what has interested us in this style of music." Says Empfield, "It's like haiku. It's a real simple overview and that's what makes it powerful." According to the band, bluegrass is often associated with these types of things anyway. The outdoors, food, family, fes­ tivals and gatherings are an important as­ pect of where bluegrass stands today and where it is going. "Joining the Greasy Beans has com­ pleted a musical circle for me. As a child I sang old time Appalachian music with my family, and as I reached my late teens, I began to play rock, and now I'm back where it all started out for me," says Matteson. Continuing in the strong American musical tradition started by the pioneers of bluegrass is an important aspect of play­ ing for the group. Other than jazz, it is the only piece of real American culture in the musical sense. Enjoyment, excitement and feeling the powerful spirit of the music is also impor­ tant. And as the miles and shows begin to add up, so does that excitement. The band has a repertoire of around 50 songs to pull from on any given night, and you are bound to hear something that will make you want to get up and dance. The Greasy Beans are young musi­ cians, with youthful energy, who provide an incredible musical atmosphere. Check them out the next chance you get. They will be coming back into Boone through­ out the semester, wailing that good ole' mountain music. Sounds of raggae come up the mountain with Selah Jeremy Ball Staff Writer Boone may be a long way from Janaica, but believe it or not, the mounains are making room for reggae. The reggae scene in Boone is contantly growing more and more popular imong students. And this is being spearleaded by a local band which is a familar face to many - Selah. Although the core members of the 'and, Mark E. Evangelist and Refeal feren, have been playing together for a "hile, they are returning from touring this ummer with two additions, Chris Pyle nd Ros Alan, and an increased intensity ®d focus. Evangelist, the band's singer, ®d a junior from Boone, says that they re "changing reggae up here in the moun­ tains". Evangelist said that they are focus­ ing their goals on promoting unity and breaking down some of the stereotypes which have encrusted the music. Because the band's members are white, Selah may not instantly fit the reggae stereotype with many people. But that is an image that Evangelist says they are trying to fight. He said that one of their main goals is to "break down racial barriers" through reggae music, which he says will be the first music to "unite all people." According to Evangelist, the stereo­ type is actually a false concept which was created by club owners and record pro­ ducers in order to make money. Selah's style is a little different from what people have come to expect, as well. Refael Keren, the band's keyboard player, says that reggae has become really stag­ nant. He says that people who go to hear reggae can usually go to any concert and know exactly what to expect. It all sounds the same. is punky-reggae. It is a little heavier hit­ ting, so when you go to a show or listen to a tape it makes you wake up. Far from polluting the music with their influences, however, Evangelist says that they are making reggae the way that the music was intended to be made. It has common roots, but by incorporating many influences, it promotes unity. Keren says that Selah is positive mu­ sic. The band called themselves "white Rastas" and their music reflects the spiri­ tuality of the members. Evangelist says, "our music is designed to give praises to Jah." But he also said that it is not one of their goals to preach to people or to convert them, but to pro­ mote unity and appreciation for all beliefs. And, so far, the band's goals have led them on the right track. Their first CD, "Chant On" is out, and "Creative Loafing" Evangelist says that they are break­ voted them the best reggae band in Char­ ing the sound stereotype by going back lotte over the summer. "And we're not even to reggae's roots and combining them from Charlotte!", said Evangelist. So, what's in the future for Selah? with their own roots, which are in rock and alternative. He says that their sound They're opening up for Ros Alan's band, Ros Alan and the Lions, at the Klondike on Sept. 21. Ros Alan is also filling, in on bass for Selah. On Oct. 4, Selah will have their own show in the Pub. Evangelist says that October will be spent back in the studio working on their next album, "Human Rites." The band members also said that they would be working closely with the other reggae bands in the area, Ros Alan and the Lions and Natural Healing. Keren says that reggae bands stick together. According to Evangelist, their goal is not to commercialize their music, but to take their music and their message of unity world-wide, which can only be achieved by working with other reggae bands. But more than anything, Evangelist said, they want to play music that just makes you feel good. He says that reggae has the same beat as your heart, so it is natural to dance to it and feel good after­ wards. Ros Alan says that is why reggae ap­ peals to everyone, "because everyone has a heart beat." i 1 Ryan Price Editorials Editor FRAflKElV IS A is I is o |J- u h- 11- A1 Franken is an original, bucktoothed moron S II AL FRANKEN IS A BUCKTOOTHED MO­ RON AND OTHER OBSERVATIONS, by J.R Mauro. Payback Publishing, $21.95. 218 pages. Humor. At first I was a little wary about read­ ing A1 Franken Is A Bucktoothed Moron. I had read Rush Limbaugh Is A Big Fat Idiot by Mr. Franken and found it quite enjoyable, so I naturally assumed that this was just a cheap ploy to strike back at the left-wing humor that Franken spews. After all, the sub-title on the jacket cover says "The Right Strikes Back!" I was pleasantly surprised to find out that J.R Mauro was, in fact, a pretty tal­ ented guy...err, guys. You see, J.R is ac­ tually a pseudonym for the Mauro broth­ ers, Joseph and Paul. The two do appear to be relatively qualified as political humorists go. Jo­ seph is a lawyer/writer and Paul is a former editor of NATIONAL LAMPOON. MORON is written from the perspec­ tive of one person and is quite witty. But, as soon as I read the back jacket cover and found out that it took two people to counter Franken's sarcastic humor, my re­ spect for their talent diminished. There is no denying that Moron is still entertaining, though. Mauro counters some of Franken's points, plus, comes up with some original material that is down­ right hilarious. Mauro details the process that he un­ dertook to find out what Jesse Jackson actually does for a living. The search is futile but not pointless as Mauro discov­ ers that the Rev. Jackson's Rainbow Coali­ tion offices are probably nothing more than an empty warehouse somewhere in Iowa, with a lonely receptionist answer­ ing phones. Mauro goes on to take some rightwing shots at the usual liberal cast of vil­ lains; Ted Kennedy, PETA, the Clinton fam­ ily (Bubba, Hill, and Roger) Hollywood, Tipper, Al, and Mansu Musa. Poor Marion Barry does receive some undeserved criticism from Mauro on his colon hydrotherapy, and it's just not fair (yeah right). Mauro creates a fictional excerpt of Joe Klein's, PRIMARY COLORS that is quite clever. He picks up after the elec­ tion of Jack Stanton as President and runs through a quick summary of the more re­ cent troubles of the Clinton White House. The best part of the book, however, is a "true crime" style account of James "Carv" Carville and George "Steph" Stephanopoulos as the two heroes of "The Bimbo Patrol." Steph and Carv travel busily around the Washington area in their patrol car from trailer parks to motels, hoping to squash the bedroom romps of'The Chief" before they reach the press. The humor is so biting that it had me wondering if either Mauro brother had considered picking up on this scenario af­ ter MORON was published. The main beneficiary of much of Maura's humor is the tide-boy, Al Franken. Mauro creates a timeline of Franken's un­ remarkable career (until recendy) from his standup days with Tom "My very own Deep Throat" Davis, through his Stuart Smalley days, to his current status as the President's personal lap dog. Anyway, Mauro makes the point that Franken's success depended largely (no pun intended) on the popularity of Rush Limbaugh, and it worked. Mauro had bet­ ter hope that it holds true for him. The only problem I did have with MORON was with the tide. I mean, Rush Limbaugh is fat. Franken is not bucktoothed, but I guess he might have an overbite. Overall, the book is a quick read, and is entertaining. It is worth reading, espe­ cially if you have read Franken's book. A lot of the topics are not "politically correct," and it is quite funny to actually have someone comment on issues that are usually left untouched. It is much of the same-style humor as Franken's, and while the concept is not original, it will make you chuckle. e e k r.

At Fort Union Military Academy, he was top defensive performer and team captain. Last year he was named national de­ fensive player-of-the-week twice and con­ ference defender of the week three times. He was also national I-AA defensive player of the year and the Southern Conference's athlete of the year. He was also named a first team All-American by the Associated Press, The Sports Network, Walter Camp, the American Football Coaches Associa­ tion and Don Hansen's Football Gazette. Coakley also picked up several more awards and honors in his first two sea­ sons with the Mountaineers. In short, the man can flat play some football. "Dexter is a great leader. He works extremely hard in the off season," said McNeill. "Dexter is not only the best line­ backer I've coached, he's one of the best football players I've coached in my 17year period." So the big question remains, what about all the talk about the pros? A lot has been said about Coakley as a possible first round draft pick. He certainly has the talent, as has been proven with all his awards. "I think Dexter is going to be success­ ful in whatever he chooses," said McNeill. "Whether it's football as his career or whether it's business. It doesn't matter what route he goes in. Whoever picks him is going to have a great football player or a great person and if he doesn't play for the NFL, he's going to be a successful per­ son and I'd hire him in a heartbeat." Stop whining: watch the games and forget the salaries Daryl Stevens Sports Columnist Sports Commentary ! For many sports fans, the turning of eaves in autumn is the best time of year, fhat cool air filling your lungs means sum­ mer is over. Football's just started, base­ ball season is coming to a head, and bas­ ketball is only weeks away. As these sports begin to dominate headlines, once again we hear the mild protest over athletes' rising salaries. Shaquille O'Neal and Michael Jordan are only two of the many NBA players who have recently negotiated chin-dropping contracts. The stars of every other sport, including golf and tennis, make salaries far beyond what most people see in a life­ time. Illinois teacher Joanne Adams Niehay wrote a shrewd letter to the USA Today editorial page, musing over what our world might be like if teachers were pam­ pered like sports stars. "All I can think about is endorsement contracts," she wrote, tongue-in-cheek, "for pencils, paper, books, chalk, shoes (teachers' feet need to be comfortable), baggy jumpers with pockets, and horizon broadening travel." The clich that calls sports a business, and not really a bunch of games, is over­ used. Yet it's very true. Over and over again comes the double standard: it's un­ believable that men get so much money for running up and down a court in shorts. But ask yourself why other men and women rake in two and three times as much for starring in, producing and di­ recting cinematic experiences. Remem­ ber the musicians who earn millions for playing instruments and singing. It's not the athletes who deserve all of the blame. They aren't the ones who need to be showered with cries of "greedy." Our society should absorb that responsibility, if anyone should. Sports figures, like musicians and movie makers, only profit from the system that all of us inherited. We still buy the team jerseys, caps, endorsed shoes, posters and game tickets. With one hand, the consuming public con­ tinues to put money in the pockets of ath­ letes and owners. The other hand is used to shake our collective finger in their di­ rection. Those same people might look in the mirror, if they want to see someone familiar who is just as obsessed with grab­ bing material things. If being able to buy "stuff" wasn't important to the complain- ers, neither would be the number of dol­ lars someone else is making. Entertainment is a business. It is also largely a joke that exposes a flaw in our­ selves, and it's nothing to get huffy or hopeless over. Our values may be topsy­ turvy, but it will take more than letters to the editor to get teachers atop America's payroll. An effort by parents and com­ munities to foster respect for teachers might help children see their teachers more as role models. But until then, we may as well sit back and enjoy the game without dollar signs hanging in our heads, in the same way we would relax with a CD.

Hooding study completed An in-depth analysis affirmed that construction of the convocation center, academic student support building, steam plant and science building should lot increase water runoff. The analysiswas prepared by Ogden Environ­ mental and Engineering Services at the request of Town of Boone officials. It reaffirms a 1995 study that building the convocation center would not negatively impact downstream flooding and would have minimal im­ pact on upstream flooding. Last month's study indicates fliat plans to open Boone Creek where it flows underground along the baseball fleld, and other improvements scheduled ® conjunction with the steam plant con­ duction, would actually decrease flood­ ing upstream of the convocation center.

Registrar Brooks McLeod said that the North Carolina General Admin­ istration has mandated that every school schedules 75 full class days each semes­ ter. Current semesters contain about 72 class days. McLeod is an advisory member of the Calendar Committee, which will meet Wednesday to discuss the administration's mandate. He, along with 15 other members, will vote on what changes should be made to Appalchian's calendar year. Members include representa­ tives from the registrar's office, general studies, athletics, SGA and various other faculty and staff members. Joel Williams, Professor and Chairman of the Calendar Committee, is optimistic about the outcome of Wednesday's meeting. "I chose to think that these changes are for maintaining the academic integrity of our schools at the state level," he said. Williams added that not every­ body will be pleased with the new changes. "Whatever we do, we are going to make someone unhappy," he said. Although details about the cal­ endar changes aren't yet available, Will­ iams made it clear that all holidays and vacation days are being considered with strict scrutiny. Committee members must submit an updated calendar to the gen­ eral administration by Sept. 24. The Calendar Committee will meet Wednesday at 2 p.m. at the Watauga River Room in Plemmons Stu­ dent Union. ASU gets a bad grade Kristina Miller Staff Writer Appalachian State University fell from eighth to fourteenth place in U.S. News and World Report annual survey of Universities and Colleges. " Appalachian's score dropped from 87.1% to this year's score of 75.1%. The office of admissions is in the process of preparing a report analyzing the rankings to be presented to the Deans Council Wednesday. "One of the main reasons our ranking went down is that our institution's overall standards and values changed very little from last year when our ranking was at its highest," said Bob Sharpe, Director of Institutional Research and Planning who provided data for the magazine. "Other institutions improved greatly in the past year." Although Appalchian's overall ranking did go down, its academic repu­ tation rating improved, which accounts for 25% of the overall score. The average SAT score for incoming freshmen also in­ creased. U.S. News and World Report rates academic institutions on the basis of aca­ demic reputation, student selectivity, fac­ ulty resources, retention rank, financial resources, and alumni giving rank. "The rankings can be confusing," said Joe Watts, associate vice chancellor for enrollment. Watts said that faculty ranking is based on class size, number of full-time professors versus the number of part-time professors, and so on. Watts also said the percentage of doctorate holding faculty increased and the range of courses offered also in­ creased. "The rankings shouldn't be the only criteria when evaluating the school," he said. "We're still in the process of ana­ lyzing the data that we sent U.S. News and World Report." "There's not much we can do about our financial resources ranking con­ sidering we depend on the state for most funds," Sharpe said. �The Appalachian 17 Septembi AND MEDIA Do news media appeal more to men?

You had your chance... Last Thursday evening, at 7 p.m. in the Calloway Peak room of the Student Union, the editorial board of The Appalachian and members of 90.5 The App held an open fo­ rum for students concerned with the school media. The forum was sponsored by the college chapter of the Society of Professional Jour­ nalists, and was designed to allow students a chance to voice their questions, concerns, complaints, or opinions to the campus me­ dia representatives. However, not a single person attended, de­ spite advertisments in the August 27 and Sep­ tember 12 issues of The Appalachian. As the last issue's staff editorial stated, "both The Appalachian and The App exist to serve the university community." As much as we would like to think other­ wise, we are not perfect. Many people dis­ agree with different issues that we cover or have questions regarding our content, but never let their voice be heard. Last Thurs­ day night was a chance to be heard objec­ tively, and not a soul took advantage of the opportunity to ask a question of the campus media. If students were dissatisfied with ei­ ther the newspaper or the radio station, they had a chance to say so. In another month or so, SPJ will sponsor another forum, and if you would like your opinion to be heard or if you just have ques­ tions, let it be known instead of telling your roommate how biased our coverage is. No AppalCART cuts? At press time just got word that the Trans­ portation Board has decided not to cut the Crosstown and Gold AppalCART routes this semester. The Board met yesterday and determined that the cuts should not be made until there is more information on how many students utilize each route on the average day. The Board will wait until next semester to re­ evaluate its budget at which time cuts could still occur. We think that this was a very wise deci­ sion to make, especially considering that stu­ dents were promised a certain schedule of availability and deserve to get that. What we still don't understand is why the routes that were chosen to be cut were some of the most used in the first place. Good luck new senators ! We'd like to wish the 70-plus newly elected student senators the best of luck. We hope that you will take your job as student representatives seriously and work hard to pass legislation which will improve the aca­ demic and social qualities of life here at Ap­ palachian.

All across the campus, we see banners encour­ aging students to, "go Greek," as well as other ban­ ners indecipherable to anyone who has never stud­ ied the classical languages. Rush party flyers on bulletin boards everywhere offer free food to anyone interested. I have noticed that the food is usually your standard outdoor ham­ burger cookout, but it can also take the form of the more exotic "wings." Either way, if you give out enough free food, you can reach the Young Republi­ cans at a patchouli festival. But, what most people do not know about is the unusual policies that surround Rush. One policy (which is exclusive to sororities) that comes to mind is the one where members of a Greek organization aren't allowed to speak to any independents or, in the parlance of the Greek organizations, "indies" for a prescribed amount of time prior to Rush Week. Doing so is unfair recruitment or, in the same par­ lance, "dirty Rush." In other words, if a sorority member talks to these potential members before Rush, her sorority is get­ ting the jump on all of the others. Now I don't know about you, but in day-to-day life, I speak casually to a lot of people. It would be hard for me to limit myself for about three or four weeks to speaking to a select group of people. It would make certain things difficult, like buy­ ing toilet paper, calling my Aunt Maggie (you never know, she might be thinking of Rushing this year), or even just asking for the time of day. After awhile, my self-imposed exile from society might push me over the deep end. The whole deal sounded a little hard to believe, so hard actually, that I wasn't sure I was getting the whole story. I had heard by word of mouth that there had been a recent change in the policy that allowed Shh! Don't talk to Indies. (Photo by Wendy Goddard) at least small conversation under certain conditions.

Computers not just for games The majority of computer usage today involves three things: the Internet, games, and pornography. If you don't believe me, just get on the Internet and do research for yourself. See how many people there are on the Usenet and in chat rooms. Visit computer game and porno Web pages to see how many users have visited the pages. Do these things and you will see my point. On-campus Internet usage is most prevalent in the labs. If you go into any lab on campus, I guaran­ tee you will find at least one person surfing for noneducational reasons. Technically, users in the labs are supposed to use the Internet for assignments, but almost 98 percent of its usage is devoted to goof­ ing off. The ACS hierarchy should have known this was going to happen. The lab operators are militant when it comes to bitching at people playing games. These people will crack down on anyone playing games like a vulture will descend on a bloody, maggot-laden carcass. Although games are frowned upon in the labs, plenty of students with their own computers use them for playing games. If you visit Software, Etc., you will see exacdy how popular computer games are. My Turn by Daniel Bothun Columnist The shelf containing productivity software is dwarfed by the gargantuan shelf containing a plethora of vari­ ous games. Personally, I spend more time playing games than Bob Dole spends wearing that stupid grin on his face. Games are not the only thing that lab workers militantly discourage. Pornography is never allowed to be viewed in any of the labs. Again, many non-lab computer users download porn daily. There are a conglomerate of Web sites dedicated to the very subject, just begging for horny folks to use their Web site. I counted about 265 adult-re­ lated sites searching in Yahoo; game related pages about 2312. I must stress, I do not surf the net for porn in my free time. I was merely doing research for this article. Not only are games and porn found on home computers, but these things are found in the work­ place as well. According to Computer World* the Virginia state government and the U.S. Dept. of La­ bor told employees to delete all games from their office computers. New York Times writer, Trip Gabriel wrote, "A survey released in April by Nielsen Media Research showed that the on-line edition of Penthouse magazine is called up thousands of times a month by employees at IBM, Apple Computer, AT&T, NASA, and Hewlett-Packard." As you can see, these things do not only go on at home. Sure, there are many people who use computers for productive reasons. Many students use word pro­ cessors, spreadsheets, etc. to get their incredibly te­ dious homework done. Others use them to type sophomoric articles full of ranting, raving, and unimportant inform...Oops! Most of the time, however, computer users consist of pimply faced 14 year-olds wetting their pants at the prospect of downloading a lewd picture of Cameron Diaz off of the Internet. Would you like to be rich? Personal Finance by Matt Jones Business Manager Pam Griffin Assistant News Editor Ryan Price I'll moider de bum.' - Tony "Two-Ton" Galento What's the rush? Matt Jones Business Manager Jay Konstataras News Editor Page 3 If everyone can please follow me back in time to the year 1987 and a man by the name of Michael R. Milken. Mr. Milken was paid a salary of $550 mil­ lion in 1987. That breaks down to roughly $1,046 per second based on a 14-hour working day. Now, not everyone can make this type of sal­ ary, and most people don't imagine they ever will. But there are ways to increase the chance that you may be able to obtain this amount of wealth or any other amount that you desire by starting now. The principle is simple; it is called the time value of money, and it is best illustrated by telling you a story about two twin brothers. The younger brother starts in college by putting $50 a month into a mutual fund for 10 years. The older brother, in­ stead of starting in college, waited until he was 30 to begin saving the same amount of $50 per month for 35 years. Both brothers left their investments until they were 65 years old. They both earned an average annual return of 10 percent. Now the question is, who will have more money for retirement by age 65? For those of you who are quick learners, the younger brother will have more money than the older brother. Over the pe­ riod, the older brother will have invested a total of $21,000, while the younger brother invested only $6,000. By age 65, the younger brother had accu­ mulated $334,293.18, while his older brother had accumulated only $189,831.90, a difference of $144,461.28. This is why it is better to start putting money away now instead of waiting until later. One of the easiest ways to get started is by investing $50 a month in a stock mutual fund. The mutual fund company can automatically draft the payment from your checking account every month, and you will probably never miss the money. By opt­ ing for the automatic payment plan, some mutual fund companies will waive the minimum investment requirements. This lets you build your investment slowly over the long term, while reducing your amount of risk, by using a principle called dollar cost averaging, which will be explained in a future col­ umn. A mutual fund is one of the most worry-free ways to invest your money. You have a professional manager handling your money for you. To further reduce any worry you may have about stock mutual funds, note that history has shown that the stock market always goes up in the long term. There is also a 100 percent chance of stocks outperforming bonds, inflation, and cash over a 20 year period, according to Ibbotson Associates. Some mutual fund companies you may wish to contact are, Twentieth Century at 1-800-345-2021, Berger at 1-800-333-1001, and Invesco at 1-800-5258085. All these companies will waive or have low minimum investment requirements. The purpose of investing is to build wealth, and the best way to do that is to start now. And for all of you who are wondering how much you would need to put away to accrue $550 million, that figure is $37,473.38 per month for the next 35 years, as­ suming a 15 percent annual rate of return. The best things you can do are, to start now, think optimistically, and adopt Mr. Milken's philoso­ phy, "The constant Me is always greater than the vari­ able You." f �Page 4 The Appalachian 17 September1^ i ^ The passing of a legend grass boys did come and go, Monroe had become a staple and musicians after him began to model his style.

[f so, why not spend both enjoying one of ihe many luxuries of college life; goofing off. Among the many opportunities Ap­ palachian offers, there is one that seems to have taken off. Each day, students file into the Blue Ridge Parkway Game Room in droves to take out their frustrations. Whether they are zooming down the high­ way at 200 miles per hour in the seat of "Final Lap," an auto racing game, spin­ ning the foosball handles trying to make a score, or leisurely shooting a game of pool, students can be found participating in numerous non-curricular activities. "It's good to do between classes to pass the time," said Senior Jimmy L. Hunt as he leaned on a cue stick beside a pool table in contemplation of his next shot. 'The rates are also cheaper than those at Savannah Joe's, who charges five dol­ lars per hour instead of three," adds Hunt. Furnished with nine mint- condition pool tables, various video games, a foosball table, three large televisions, and a stereo system that any college student would kill to have in their dorm room, the game room was added to the Plemmons Student Union last year. Since then, it has seen the likes of many cross through its doors. Game room attendant and senior, Julie M. Brown credits its frequent usage to its good prices and availability. "It's easily accessible and pretty cheap, it can accommodate a lot of stu­ dents," says Brown. As students give their best to conquer video worlds, and hit small spheres into slightly larger pockets with a long stick, they can hum along with the music that fills the background. Even though freshman, Josh R Mont­ gomery, who was shooting a game of pool, claimed the music was not his first pick, he said he still comes to play pool about three times a week. He said, "I usually come with a group of friends from my dorm." Just because the game room sits in­ side the student union, does not mean that only Appalachian students reap the benefits. Students from Starmount High School lined the wall awaiting their shot at the pool tables as the others took their turn. High school senior, Brian R. Edwards said, "This is a really nice facility." Edwards and his friends were killing time until the bus, which brought them to Ap­ palachian for College Day, was ready to leave. Not only does the younger genera­ tion like having fun, but also those who preceded us and, in some cases, teach us. Dr. Melvin Roy of the Department of Decision Sciences of the College of Busi­ ness jokingly said, "I'm not a newcomer to this game," as he competed against his friend and fellow faculty member, Dr. Douglas May, Director of Academic Com­ puting. Both professors agree that the facili­ ties are nice and they enjoy coming in to play a few games after a meal at Cas­ cades Cafe. "In fact," says Roy, "we are encouraged by David Robertson, Direc­ tor of Student Programs, to come in here. It is an excellent opportunity for students to see us in a social setting other than the classroom." It has been said over and over that there is nothing to do in Boone. But how can anyone make such a statement when all anyone could ask for is right at their fingertips in the Blue Ridge Parkway Gameroom? r The game's just beginning for Senior Eric D.

Al­ most every denomination of the Christian faith is represented at Appalachian, as well as non-denominational groups like Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, Campus Crusade, and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Students can get in touch with one of these organizations through their club advisors, whose phone numbers are listed in the Appalachian Clubs and Organiza­ tions handout. Most groups also adver­ tise weekly meetings through flyers or posters. In a society where faith has often been deemed to be the crutch of the weak, it is a comfort for students to know that there are organizations on campus which seek to help confirm, build, and guide their spiritual growth. The organizations also let students know that they are not alone in their be­ liefs and that they can find fellow students who, like themselves, are seeking spiri­ tual brothers and sisters.

As can always be expected from Clinton, this CD re­ veals groovin' tunes with exceptional in­ strumentation and a creative lyrical base of a mixture of singing ^d rapping. If there is such a category as mellow htnk, then this disk defines it. It takes you °n a very groovy journey through hmkdified beats with laid back intentions, it doesn't want to triake you jump up and down, but you solid collection of songs that you can lis­ ten to while writing a paper, put on as background music or groove to at a party. It contains a combination of classic and innovative beats and lyrics that are tight, giving them an edged feeling. Soul­ ful voices can also be heard throughout the disk, giving it a feeling of a wellrounded, completed piece of work. The mastery of the mixing of this disk also defines its completed nature. It pro­ vides a very creative, charging aspect that gives it a distinctive diversity. All songs were not mixed by the same person and in most cases mixing was a group effort. The work of such masters of the mix as Greg Reilly, Colin Wolfe and Alvin Speights appear on the disk. The cover and inset, along with cer­ tain song tides and the music they reveal, also give it an almost new age, futuristic feel.

From no other source can you get such a wide va­ riety of information from such a wide variety of places. One of the fastest growing aspects of the Internet is the World Wide Web, also known as the W.W.W. A Web site is essentially a collection of pages and pages of information. Each Web page refers you to another Web page with related information. Whatever your interests are, the W.W.W. more than likely has a page for you. Matt B. Philmon, a senior computer science major from Charlotte, first got in­ terested in Web sites as a computer lab operator here on campus. Philmon says that the Web is fairly easy to learn. "All you have to do is fol­ low the directions as you go along," says Philmon. Philmon mainly uses the W.W.W. for information regarding computing sci­ ences, scores for athletic games and news. The Web site is virtually limidess in its uses. Not only can you get informa­ tion off of it, you can also start your own home page. Robert C. Gaddy, a junior from Mon­ roe, and his band, Agent Ink, have done just that, in order to market their band and have their music heard. According to Gaddy, the WW.W. is great because someone could accidentally run into the band while searching the Web. Gaddy said that the band even had requests from Alaska wanting more in­ formation on them as a result of seeing their Agent Ink home page. The W.W.W. offers a lot in the way of getting yourself marketed and in getting information. Even so, some are not as enthusiastic about the fast moving forum of the Internet and of Web pages. "There are too many of them. Ev­ erybody and their brother has one and it clogs up the Internet," says graduate stu­ dent, Matt W. Ruble from Boone. Ruble feels, that although the Internet is a great market, unless you are a student, surfing the Web can become costly. Ruble believes the W.W.W. is a "limited market, but a market that has money." The W.W.W. is a toddler in respect to the potential that lies before it. Getting involved in it now can be a great learn­ ing process to prepare for what it holds in the future.

Who �The Appalachian 17 September 1996 Page 7 Sports Will baseball be getting a new home? David Jackson Staff Writer "If you build it, he will come," said jhe Voice. In the movie Field of Dreams, Kevin Costner built a baseball field in the middle of a corn field after he heard that voice. Take that same concept, and apply it to ASU. "If you build a highway, we'll build you a baseball field." With construction of the Convocation Center and the widening of U.S. 321, the existing baseball field has to be moved. The need for dirt to fill in the area around the baseball field created the ability to kill two birds with one stone. Dirt will be made available for the project by clearing 0ut land behind Kidd Brewer Stadium. That land will then become the site of the new baseball field. The two-phase project is being tied into the steam plant and road widening' projects. Phase One of the plan calls for anew field and seating to be constructed at Upper Kidd Brewer for possible use as early as this spring. The second phase of the project calls [or construction of a press box, conces­ sion stand, and rest rooms to be added to he facility. There is no time table yet on the c ompletion of Phase Two. " The field being constructed where it is will really help us out with maintenance and field upkeep," said Head Baseball Coach Jim Morris. The current baseball field is located tear the comer of Rivers Street and Blowng Rock Road, a very flood-prone area. Spring showers that normally wet down i field, put Lackey Field under several nches of water. "There have been many occasions vhen we have had to cancel or move ;ames because of poor conditions," said forris. "With the new field being higher re shouldn't have that much of a prob:m with flooding." The cost of the field is included in the ost of the steam plant and road widenig projects. Those projects are being inded with money from the State of North Carolina, so the new field won't cost students any extra tuition money. The ac­ tual cost of the field is not known. "With the field being tied in with the other projects, it's hard to say exactly how much the field will cost," said ASU Athletic Di­ rector Roachel Laney. "Hopefully, if the weather cooperates, the field may be ready for this spring." Also being discussed with Phase Two r A « construction is the possibility of building a soccer field in the remaining open land at Upper Kidd Brewer. No plans on con­ struction of the soccer field have been fi­ nalized, but the thought of a grass field is appealing to those involved with the Mountaineer Soccer Program, which cur­ rently plays all of its home games on the turf at Kidd brewer Stadium. 'There aren't many teams that will play us here because of the turf," said Men's Soccer Head Coach Art Rex. " That means that we have to travel to more games which gets tiring after a while. With a grass field, more opponents would be apt to come up and play us." Land has begun to be cleared away from Upper Kidd Brewer, and construc­ tion of the baseball field is hopefully soon to follow.

The Lady Deacons, one of the top anked teams in the nation, defeated the Lady Mountineers 6-1. The only goal of the game was scored by Mary Zesk, a jun­ ior from Cheshire, Conn., during the first half. Sophomore Kathryn Pearson from Winston-Salem got the start in goal. She had three saves before being replaced in the second half by Rachel Bergman. Bergman made one save while in the net. Sunday afternoon was Parent's Week­ end at Kidd-Brewer Stadium. Several mothers clutched roses as they cheered for their children to rout the Davidson Bob­ cats. Although the Lady Apps put up a tough defense, they lost 1-0. The Lady Bobcats were held scoreless during the first half. However, Kate Schoening scored the fatal shot with 3:15 remaining in the second half. Jen Broaderick, senior from Waldorf, Md., led the team in shots on goal with eight. Sue Fawsett of Winter Park, Fla. and Megan Corradino of Norfolk, Va. had five shots each. Pearson was the starting goalie, playing the entire game and rack­ ing up two saves. The Lady Apps are now 1-3. Their next match is Saturday, Sept. 21 against Central Michigan at a neutral site. The following day, the Lady Mountineers are away at the University of Ohio. s soccer drops conference opener *\n Appalachian player collides with Georgia Southern s Tim B/om in a fight for the ball during Sunday's game °hoto by Richard Thomas) David Jackson Staff Writer The Southern Conference season has officially begun, and games will begin to mean more and more. The Appalachian men lost a hard-fought game to the Eagles of Georgia Southern, 4-1, Friday night to open Southern Conference play. Appalachian and Georgia Southern played evenly throughout the first half. The Eagles got on the board first as sopho­ more striker Kevin Hanfman found the back of the net at the 21:02 mark. Appa­ lachian answered right back as senior de­ fender Kevin Turner, of Allison Park, Pa., blasted a free kick past Georgia Southern goalie Mike Burrell to even the score at 11. As the second half began, the Eagles took control. Freshman midfielder Jer­ emy McClure scored two second half goals, and junior midfielder Bobby McDaniel added another as Georgia Southern pulled away from the Mountain­ eers for the final score of 4-1. 'The first half, we played hard, we kept our heads in the game," said TUrner. "The second half, we just came out flat. We've got to stay focused for 90 minutes of the game." Appalachian shot the ball nine times in the second half, with seven of those shots going either wide or high. "It was a close game in the first half," said Head Coach Art Rex. "We had some opportunities in the second half, but we just couldn't finish anything off." The Apps return to action tomorrow night at?:30 p.m. as Southern Conference opponent Davidson visits Kidd Brewer Stadium. Owners play name game Mike Daniels Sports Editor sports commentary Imagine that our government, hurt­ ing for a solution to the federal deficit, decides to sell the riaghts to the names of all the national monuments. The Grand Canyon becomes the Microsoft Canyon. The Statue of Liberty becomes The First Union Statue of Liberty. The Liberty Bell becomes the Taco Liberty Bell. Sounds weird doesn't it? It's as if those proud national symbols were somehow beingl defaced or sold out. Right now that very thing is hap­ pening in the sports world. In the past year, we have seen Candlestick Park in San Francisco be­ come 3Com Park, Tampa Stadium be­ come Hoolihan's Stadium, and just re­ cently, Joe Robbie Stadium in Miami become Pro Player Park. And these are just baseball/football fields. Several basketball and hockey arenas have also sold their souls to corporate America for a few extra bucks. It seems as though nothing is sacred anymore in the commercial sports world. It is not enough for some bank or beer company just to have their com­ mercials run on television during the games or to have their billboards posted around the ballparks. In toda/s cut­ throat business world, corporations are going too far in trying to one-up each other by getting the entire stadium to bear their name. What do you think Joe Robbie would say if he were alive? The man who founded the Miami Dolphins and built the stadium they now play in has had his name cast aside from it so that Pro Player Inc., a sports card company, who purchased the rights to it from team owner Wayne Huizenga, could put their tittle on it. Why doesn't Huizenga just sell the advertising rights to Robbie's gravestone too? Fm sure he could make a nice little profit from that endeavor. I'm not trying to single out Huizenga as one bad apple in a bowl. It seems like all owners nowadays have forgot­ ten some basic principles such as respect and tradition. Of course, the owners have to do something to get the dough together to cover their incredibly inflated payrolls. And I guess when they can't pick up the team and move to a richer town like some owners, they have to find other alternatives. What if that happened to the col­ lege football bowl games happens in pro sports? I don't think it would feel quite right to see a Panthers game in Char lotte at Poulan's Weed Eater Park. Or to watch the Pepsi Bowl every January. Heck, after that, maybe owners can just start selling off the names of the teams. I mean, how important is a team's name anyway? In Europe they name some of their soccer teams after the companies that own them. Why not have that here in the states? Instead of the Chicago Bulls, we could have the Nike Bulls or the Swooshes. The second name would work better because that way Nike could totally dump that pesky litde bull em­ blem and put in their cute little swoosh symbol. And I think its high time we got rid of those slanderous names like the Redskins, Braves and Indians. How about if we change them to the Wash­ ington Chevys, the Atlanta Cokes and the Cleveland Dominos? Those sound much more politically correct, while still keeping that sold-out feeling. And there is litde the average fan can do to stop this corporate desecradon of our beloved sports teams. Even though fans now refuse to use names like 3Com Park, inlO years they will be. Television and radio announcers are forced to use the new names so that they will be taught to the younger genera­ tions who won't remember the name Candlestick. All we can do as sports fans is hope that the home of our favorite team isn't stripped of its tradition and heritage in favor of corporate ad space. And if it is, just try to remember the way things used to be. You never know, one day our be­ loved Mountaineers may be playing their Saturday football games up at BB&T Field. �The Appalachian 17 Septemb, mterestedin writing sports for The Appalachian call Mike or Chris at262-6233 MANAGEMENT TRAINEES/SALES COORDINATORS BUILD SUCCESS IF YOU VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES To BE A LEADER IN OUR COMPANY, THIS COULD BE YOUR OFFICE.

The 0untaineers got another goal in the secid period, but it wasn't enough, with the ountaineers ending up on the short end a4-2 loss. Senior goalie Kelly Guinn, Atlanta, Ga. had 18 saves in the defeat. Hoping to rebound from this loss, the sam's next opponent was a 3-1 Charles„ Southern squad. Unfortunately, the idy Apps luck would not change for the etter. Charleston Southern got on the 3ard quickly with a goal at the 10:00 iark past goalie Kelly Guinn. Charleston Southern then came back with another goal at the 20:00 mark to put the score at 2-0. ASU had several shots on goal in the first half but were unable to score. The scoring drought continued for the Mountaineers in the second half. Charleston Southern would strike just eight minutes into the second half, put­ ting them up 3-0. Charleston Southern scored again at the 72:15 mark and again at the 88:57 mark to bring the score to 5-0 before the game finally ended. Senior defender Beth Erickson, of Clemmons, played for the Apps despite suffering from a broken hand. Head Coach Tracy Davis said "Our defenders played hard the whole game. I thought some of their goals came on mental breakdowns. We just need to work on finishing off our offensive opportunities." The 1-5 Lady Apps will try to rebound from their loss tonight when they take on UT-Chattanooga at Kidd Brewer Sta­ dium at 7:00 p.m. The Apps will then travel Greenville, S.C. to take on Furman on Sept. 20 followed by a trip to Davidson on the 25th.

"Based on the fact we've had problems, we wanted to heighten aware­ ness," said Director of Residence Life Rick Geis. Residence halls will retain their current policy unless more than half of the residents of each individual hall vote for one specific option. For the halls which do choose to vote, three lock down op­ tions are being offered. The three options are: • No changes. Card readers are activated from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. daily. • 24 hour lock down on week­ ends. Card readers would be activated from 6 p.m. Friday to 7 a.m. Monday and from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. during the week. • 24 hour lock down. Card read­ ers would be activated seven days a week. Carmen Wiles, resident student association president for Hoey Hall, said that most students don't want the 24 hour, seven day lock down, but alot like the 24 hour lock down on weekends. Sophomore Paula Crosby scans her ID card in a residence hall card reader. (Photo by Karen Walters) Students seem to prefer the sec­ ond option, with 24 hour lock down on weekends. "I chose the weekend lock down because it seemed to be the best one to me," said Amy Campbell, a resident of White Hall. The residence halls have until Sept. 27 to vote on an option. "So far voting results are inconclusive," said Laura Rowland, a resident advisor for White Hall. Geis said this has arisen out of a need to get across [to students] the re­ sponsibility involved with being part of a community. Application overload h/Vhere the money goes •Faculty creates programs to help curb volume of admissions 'How and where parking fees go Pam Griffin Beth Bliss Staff Writer Due to an increased number of applicants for a limited number of open­ ings in the student body, many prospec­ tive students may be denied admittance to Appalachian in coming years. But while those not accepted may not be able to experience the excite­ ment of a college atmosphere, a new pro­ gram designed by the Division of Continu­ ing Education may allow students the opportunity to obtain a four-year degree. According to Joe Watts, director of admissions, Appalachian is currently seeing an increased demand for a limited number of openings. Nearly 9,000 appli­ cations were received last year for the 2,000 available positions in the current fall semester. In addition, Watts said that the percentage of students who return to Appalachian after their first year has risen to 85 percent, which adds even more stu­ dents to the ASU population. Watts said that this problem is occurring throughout the University of North Carolina system. Educators antici­ pate a higher demand for higher educa­ tion as the percentage of students who choose to attend college increases. Ac­ cording to Watts, the question facing pub­ lic universities is how to accommodate this excessive number of prospective stu­ dents. All institutions within the UNC system were asked to submit a long-term plan for handling this rapid growth. Un­ like many universities, which hope to ac­ commodate more students by expanding physically through construction, Watts said that Appalachian has a different opin­ ion. "We're not as interested [as other schools] in growing," he said. "We like [having] 12,000 students instead of 20,000 students." Rather than add on to the cam­ pus, Appalachian has chosen to handle this rapid influx by establishing "satellite pro­ grams" with local community colleges. The primary purpose of these satellite programs is to allow students to obtain a baccalau­ reate degree in one ot three areas: elemen­ tary education (K-6), business or social work. These majors were chosen for the program after a survey of potential par­ ticipants was conducted. According to Brenda Lyerly, site coordinator and academic advisor to the program, all students enrolled in the pro­ gram already have an associate's degree from a community college and have ful­ filled the basic core curriculum require­ ments, leaving them free to concentrate solely on a major. Instead of transferring to the Ap­ palachian campus, however, the students will continue their education at their local community college. This program, accord­ ing to Watts, is ideal for non-traditional students who may be tied to their commu­ nity due to family or work commitments. Currently, Appalachian professors travel to sites in Rutherford, Burke and Cleveland counties to teach classes. How­ ever, Lyerly said that eventually, some classes may be taught through "distance learning equipment" such as the informa­ tion superhighway. "We are trying to get equipment installed in the community colleges," she said. "We should have access within the next year." Students take two courses in the fall, spring and summer semesters. At this rate, a bachelor's degree will be earned in approximately three years. Watts feels that this program fo­ cuses on the "real issue" at hand: how the university can educate more people. "[Through these programs] we can accom­ modate more people and preserve what we have," Watts said. Assistant News Editor Every year, thousands of stu­ dents pay $100 in order to park in Horn in the West and South parking lots. With the cutback in Appalcart routes, many students are beginning to wonder where their money is going and how much in fact is going to fund the AppalCart. Students paid $17.50 for trans­ portation this year as part of the activ­ ity fee included in tuition. According to Bob Baker, university controller, "The transportation fee included in the activ­ ity fee is used to support AppalCART services. That money is not enough to cover the entire cost of running the news story . j If/ft- A new poll shows Americans' interest in the TWA flight 800 crash ranks with top news fif stories of the decade. Percent who followed If: very closely: Top news stories of decade ChaSanger explosion San Fran, earthquake 80% 73% Rodney King beating 70% Recent news stories TWA flight 800 crash 69% Olympic bombing 57% Summer Olympics 45% Black church burnings 35% Saudi bombing 32% SCRJRCEyRew Research 'Center AppalCart so the traffic fund covers the balance." Baker said that of the total amount the university pays to AppalCART, $258,887 comes from the transportation fee and the remainder, or balance, comes from the parking regis­ tration fees and parking fines. The re­ mainder of the money students pay to park in registered parking lots go to cash in the traffic fund. Roy Higman, division director of Pubic Safety and University Police says that the money in the traffic fund pro­ vides funding for student employment, football games, sidewalks, parking lots, street repairs and snow removal. "The state statute requires that any funds generated from the traffic fund must deal with traffic control and transportation," Higman said. Corrections In our September 10 edition two mistakes were made in the article about the electrical outage in Raley Hall. The accident did not occur on September 10 as it was reported, rather it took place on September 3. Also, mechanic Dan Hahns was not electrocuted in the acci­ dent. He suffered electrical burns. In the article about the AppalCART route cuts, it was incorrectly reported that Chris Turner is University Transpor­ tation Director. He is the AppalCART Director. The Cornell West article also con­ tained an error. The following quote should have read, "The question is not that I am a white supremecist or a [homophobe]..." not, "The question is not that I am a white supremecist or a homosexual." The Appalachian regrets the above errors. �Page 2 '- ,V^-. • — ' •• • - - ,....„_ YOUNG REPUBLICAN .V - - vM^ff ... ..... < • - f Rally FREE REFRESHMENTS FREE TRANSPORTATION FREE TICKETS AT ASU P.O.

Think you have something important to say about 90.5 The APP? Tonight is your chance folks. The Society of Professional Journalists campus chapter will host a Campus Media Forum tonight at 7 p.m. in the Calloway Peak Room of Plemmons Stu­ dent Union. Members of The Appalachian and 90.5 The APP staffs will be on a panel at this Forum. This forum is the perfect oppportunity for any­ one from the university community to voice their concerns, questions and opinions about the campus media and have them heard by members of The Ap palachian and 90.5 The APP staffs. The forum was created so that students could meet members of the campus media, comment on it, and be heard in a fair, objective way. Both The Appalachian and The APP exist to serve the university community. Without student, faculty and staff support and attention, both media would fail. I Please join us tonight in an open discussion about the campus media here at Appalachian. We welcome your input. Our purpose in a nutshell The Appalachian staff wishes to clarify our pur­ pose in order to make our news reporting process more clear to everyone on campus. The major purpose of this newspaper is to serve as a student paper of public record. This means that when news happens here at Appalachian which af­ fects students, this newspaper will strive to make sure that it is covered in a timely, objective manner. This newspaper has had one motto since 1934Fairness, Accuracy and Public Service. This is indeed our mission this year as it always has been before. The news section does not call for opinionated views or any other kind of editorializing in stories. The place for this type of writing is the Opinion sec­ tion. Many students get upset about the topics we cover in this section. What they fail to remember i: that the Opinion section is the place where persona views are aired whether the majority of students agree with them or not. Editorials are supposed to be topical according to goings on at this university. They are meant to reflect the interests and concerns of Appalachian students, first and foremost. If you don't see anything you agree with on the Opinion pages that is okay. If you get mad about something or would like to see an opposing viewpoint airec write us a letter.

However, a few tiny things could be a bit better. Any remarks made in this story are not meant to demean or disparage any of the workers on campus. Scenario one: You're in the bathroom. You have done your business and are now washing your hands. As you turn the water off, you reach for a paper towel dispenser or a button for the hot air machine. Noth­ ing. Frantically, you search behind every nook and cranny, hoping against hope that there is something there to dry your hands on. Denied. Considering the fact that the date of your dreams is waiting for you, you elect to go for the "hands on the jeans" drying method. As you walk out of the bathroom, feeling confident that you eluded the prob­ lem rather skillfully, your date makes a comment that suggests you have an incontinence problem. Scenario two a: It has been a long night. At 4 a.m., you feel the call of nature on your bladder. Wearily, you make your way down the hall, being careful to open your eyes just enough to make out shapes. Winding your way into the bathroom, you go to the nearest stall and commence to do your business. As you sit down, you feel your foot slide in some­ thing that feels remotely like grits. Opening your eyes enough to see what it is, you realize that some­ one missed the toilet during a drinking binge. Con­ sidering the time of night, this happy little incident could not have happened at a better time. Scenario two b: It is now four days later. After suffering through the fun times of cleaning puke off your foot, you make your way to the shower. Some­ thing in the air smells just a bit out of place. Further investigating leads to the discovery of the very same grits-like mixture you stepped in. Holding back the urge to blow chunks, you make it to another toilet before the explosion begins. Scenario three: It is now that blessed time of early morning when you get to trudge down the cold hall to the showers. You silently thank the school faculty for having separate changing stalls with a curtain to maintain your privacy. TUrning on the handles for the water, you adjust the temperature to the point where it is really hot, but not scalding. You begin to lather your hair with Viewpoint by Matt Bielejeski Columnist the shampoo choice of the day. Suddenly, someone yells, "Flush!" Following in­ structions given by your R.A., you deftly step to the side, count for 8-10 seconds, and avoid the alternat­ ing scalding-freezing burst. Counting your blessings, you continue with your hair. Using your super-hearing abilities, not unlike Superman, you detect a slight change in the water pressure. Since no one yelled, "Flush!" and you did not hear a stall close and lock, you think nothing of it. Mistake. You commence to receive second de­ gree burns down half of your body. Cursing the fool who did not yell, "Flush!" at the appointed time, you struggle on in your quest to get clean. As you go to rinse your hair, you observe that the shower nozzle is hitting you in the chest. Bend­ ing over, you wash the suds out of your hair. Not remembering your current height in location to the oddly placed nozzle, you bang your skull on the notso-forgiving shower head. Now finished with your hair, you move on to soaping up everything else. Out of nowhere, the water turns to fire once again. You quickly move out of the stream of lava, wondering many things: "Did I not hear someone say, 'Flush!' Did they just not say, 'Flush!' Did I not hear the pressure change? Does someone really want to die?" The answer to all the above questions is, no. Sometimes, the water pressure can change to scald­ ing without the characteristic sound or even without someone flushing the toilet. Why it happens, I don't know, but it does. Whenever I'm in the shower, I wonder if showering at school is anything like being in Vietnam. In Vietnam, you always had to be alert, even while sleeping. The Viet-Cong were always out in the jungle, ready to kill you at a moment's distrac­ tion. In the Appalachian showers, you must always be alert as well. In addition to trying to get clean, you must al­ ways be alert to the sounds and temperature of the environment around you. Vietnam? Maybe not, but definitely close to it. Since our generation missed the draft, I guessfwe're getting our just desserts on college campuses. Just like "Rescue 911," the scenarios just described to you were dramatizations of the real thing. How­ ever, all of them have either happened to myself or people that I have talked with. Somebody famous once said, 'The first step in eliminating a problem is identifying it." Enough said. The skinny on being overweight Small, medium, large, and supersize. As we all know, these are words used to describe the sizes of McDonald's orders of fries. My Turn But then again, they could also be used to de­ by scribe the people who eat the fries. Maybe the old Joy Stanley saying, 'You are what you eat" is right. Today's soci­ ety is so pressured to be thin that it's ridiculous. Every year we have thousands of people who starve themselves to death, others who blame their weight on genes, and ones who eat themselves into cardiac arrest. Why are people so wrapped up on squealing, "Look at me! I am so fat!" What's even being thin? worse is that they work out three hours a day, five Through everyday messages in magazines, tele­ days a week, and eat ice for breakfast, lunch, and vision, and other media, we are shown that being dinner. thin is the so-called "best way to be."

What's really sick is when I see women who are Sometimes it is complicated trying to find nice as small as Tyra Banks or Kate Moss walking around clothes that actually fit, because most of the great designs are in sizes 1-10. And most manufacturers think that the larger you are, the shorter you are. In my case, that isn't true. It's 10 times harder for a large, tall person to find clothes because they are never long enough. And last, but definitely not least, the "personal­ ity" theory: "People should look at the inside, not the outside." Please! If everyone believed that a person's inner character was of some value, then 1 should have guys lined up at my door from here tq China. Unfortunately, that isn't happening. The truth is that in this society, a person's outward appearance dictates their worth. Sad, isn't it? It's the girl who looks like Miss America with the attitude of m Roseanne who gets all the dates. And what about the insensitive jerk who looks like "Mr. Buff' and grabs all of the female attention? Our society has a distorted idea of what real beauty is. I'm not saying that large is great and all, but we must remember that overweight people have feelings too. Just because someone doesn't look like the ideal man/woman of your dreams, doesn't mean ~~ that he/she doesn't have a heart. If everyone looked like the models in the magazines and on television, we would all find something else to be prejudiced about. Be careful about how you judge overweight people. Their life is just as hard as yours, and prob­ ably even harder because they have to cope with other peoples' attitudes. Gotta love that gridlock: driving usBoone j"rafficin crazy I spent the summer far away from Boone and could not wait for my return to the beautiful moun­ tains, swimming holes, friendly people and...gridlock? My first attempt to drive across town sent my aggravation level soaring. I have seen traffic like this before...in Los Angeles, Charlotte and Washing­ ton D.C. So why is a little town in the mountains like Boone facing a catastrophic car overpopulation? Boone seems to be made of cars. Sixty percent of the town must consist of roads and parking lots. Nobody can seem to find a space, so they drive around like bees flying from the flower to the hive, over and over again. A closer look will reveal that most of the cars contain only one person, and the majority of them sport the Appalachian State badge. A partial conclu­ sion could be that the traffic problem is being inten­ sified by the students on four wheels. The university administration feels that a park­ ing deck would alleviate our congestion problems. This may create a few more places to park, but at a cost of more than $10,000 a space, I hardly see this as economical. The parkees of the almighty deck will still have to drive through town to get to it. They will still be riding one person to a car. This is not a Matt Williford Columnist solution. How about riding a bicycle? This seems to be very popular on the many trails in the mountains. For some reason, most of the mountain bikers do not choose this as their way to school. I am sure that many of them live too far (like myself), and do not have the time or patience for an hour ride to school. From my own in-town riding experience, and from a friend who just recently had a metal pin in­ serted in his wrist, I think I can conclude that most bicycle owners do not pedal to school because of the imminent danger it involves. Anyone that has ridden their bike through town can tell you of a close encounter with death. There are no bike lanes (save the supposed lanes on Rivers Street) and riding the sidewalk will get you a ticket. What has happened to the Alternative Transporta-tion Plan? This plan has been in the works for many years now. It has been pushed along by the bicycle riding fanatic/professor, Harvard Ayers, and student turned town councilperson, Hunter Schofield. The idea is a safe bicycle/pedestrian loop around town with ac­ cess to the town and university. So far the plan has been endorsed by the state and Boone with big bucks. The university administration is holding back. Do they not think it is worthy? It seems to me that the majority of its use would be by students, and I have already concluded that they are a major part of the gridloclf. So, where's the money? Oh, I forgot. They want to build a $30 million basketball dome and adjoin­ ing parking deck. So, until the loop is built, or Iraq runs out of oil, I will continue driving to New Market to either catch the bus or finish my will and pedal to class. Happy gridlock, and watch out for my friend with the metal pin in his wrist. �Page 4 The Appalachian 12 September ^ : Tfie API Opinion c^Letters m,am!

Since this institution is becoml a hot spot to go to college, the admis>ns office is seeing a greater influx of plications. The large number of applicants is iking it possible for the university to pick 5-notch students. Comparing the freshman class in 1986 the freshman class of 1996, one can sily see why ASU's creditability has own. In 1986 there were 5,000 applitions received for 2,200 spots, while this ar they received 9,000 applications for 150 spots. Why are their less students admitted now than there were 10 years ago? A higher retention rate of upperclassmen has seen to this. In 1986 25 percent of students dropped out after their first year, while now there is only a 15 percent drop out rate. This is a significant sign of aca­ demically stronger students. The average combined SAT score of the freshman in 1986 was 904 compared to this year's 1000. Students are coming in with more credits in math, foreign lan­ guage and science. Also, the amount of people with advanced placement credit has doubled compared to 10 years ago. Joseph Watts, associate vice chancel­ lor for Enrollment and Director of Admis­ sions, is who decides on who is and is not admitted. He admires the excellent repu­ tation that the university has acquired. "Students have stronger academic aptitude then they did a decade ago. They are more academically talented. They are more achievement oriented, as evinced in increase in GPA and harder courses," says Watts. The goal in the selection of students was to enhance the academic atmosphere. We have earned national recognition, such as US. News and World Report rank­ ing. The report ranks ASU as one of the top comprehensive universities in the south, as both a research and liberal arts school. What attracts the students? Accord­ ing to Watts it's that the "classes are smaller than institutions our size, the small town and, of course, the moun­ tains." The combination of all three is an impressive package when viewing schools to go to for four years or more. To look up and stare at the overbearing moun­ tains as you come out of an exhausting calculus exam is a nice treat. The plans for next fall are to increase the freshman class by 2,150. Not to worry, that only comes to 100 more students. Along with that, there is going to be a whole new campus layout constructed. Things are looking up for the future. Says Watts, "We're doing a lot of good things here - it's just my hope that the reputa­ tion grows."

Kidd Brewer looking good for '96 season ^ Chris Kinner Kathy Beam Asst. Sports Editor As you may have noticed at the foot­ ball game on Saturday, the multimillion dollar renovation of Kidd Brewer Stadium is finally complete. The project, which cost nearly $3,185 million, included the installation of new astroturf, resurfacing 0f the track, and replacement of sections of seats on both the home and visitor sides. According to Appalachian State Uni­ versity Athletic Director Roachel Laney, all of these changes were necessary, and «...the renovation has enhanced the aes­ thetics of the stadium as well." The astroturf has been in place since the fall of 1995, but most of the other modifications were completed in the sum­ mer. The track surrounding the field is now coated with an all-weather surface. All of the visitor's seats were removed and replaced. The lower section of the home stands was replaced after being con­ demned. While the seats may be newer, there are certainly fewer. Seating at Kidd Brewer has been reduced by over 1,000. The stadium's capacity in 1995 was 18,000. This season, only 16,650 will be able to take in Mountaineer athletic events. Laney attributes the decrease to build­ ing codes, such as the requirement for a handicapped seating area. When asked about the possibility of future expansion, Laney said, "That is a goal at some time, but we need to fill (the seats) we have now." Another project, the Appalachian Convocation Center, is set to begin in spring 1997. Staff Writer The rebuilt visitors side of Kidd Brewer Stadium which is now complete after more than a year s worth of work (photo by L eigh Aibough) Lady Spikers hit losing streak at Virginia Tech Eric Ehlers Staff Writer The Appalachian State women's vol­ leyball team traveled to South Carolina last weekend to compete in the Clemson Tournament. The tournament competi­ tion included Clemson, Virginia Tech, and Colorado State. With a 3-2 record the Lady Spikers faced tough a 4-1 Clemson team in their opener. The Mountaineers had a tough time with the Tigers, losing in three straight matches 3-15, 10-15, and 4-15. They were led by Paula Levay, of Mt. Pleas­ ant, S.C. with six kills and Jennifer Rumfeldt, of Miami, Fla., with five. Cindy Kolomechuk, of Waynesville, N.C., led the team in the assist department with 18. The next match for the women was against the 4-1 Colorado State team. Unfourtunately, the Apps luck would not change. They lost in three straight matches 8-15, 2-15, and 2-15. ASU was completely outmatched as Colorado State had 38 kills and eight blocks to the Lady SpikeTs 16 kills and four blocks. The team was led again in kills and assists by Levay and Kolmechuk who had seven kills and 11 assists respectively. The Lady Apps final match came against Virginia Tech. The Lady Spikers were again unable to break their losing streak, going down in three straight games 11-15, 6-15, and 5-15. Although the teams had almost the same amount of kills and assists, ASU was out-blocked 13 to 3. Levay led the team with 11 kills, and Kolomechuk led the team with 29 assists. The ladies finished out the tourna­ ment with a 3-4 record. The team hopes to rebound from their current slump with a win against UNC-Asheville. The Lady Spikers will then participate in another tournament at UNC-Charlotte Sept. 14th and 15th. Sticking one to the baseball purists Nick Berry Sports Columnist Take me out to the ball game. Excite­ ment has finally come back to America's favorite pastime, and all because of the wild card. Even baseball purists would agree that the Wild Card has brought back life to a sport that so desperately needed it. The pennant races have been almost pre-determined, with most teams leading by an average of eight games. No one has even threatened teams like Texas, Cleveland, and Atlanta who have firm locks on their division. The American League wild card race is coming down to the wire with no clear front runner. Chicago, Baltimore, Seattle, Boston, and Minnesota are separated by only five games between the top and bot­ tom team. With three of the five teams playing each other in the last 15 games, it is completely plausible that Minnesota, now five games back could win the wild card race. Thanks to this new playoff hope, teams can still keep the idea of team concept. Players aren't worried about in­ dividual stats, but rather their team's per­ formance. The Wild Card has also rejuvenated fan interest. Attendance has had an in­ crease of six percent from the previous years without the wild card because fans still have a reason to come to the ballpark. Think about it, who wants to come see a team whose players would rather scratch themselves than win? Teams are no longer giving up hope in the second half of the season because most teams haven't been mathematically eliminated. All I can say is that it's about time baseball stopped its archaic tradition of having only six teams in the post season. Basketball and hockey take almost every team and football takes 12 teams. The wild card has even made baseball half-way competitive with football, basketball, and hockey when it comes to ratings. With the way things are going now, fans can look forward to a great stretch run in both divisions and another excit­ ing playoff just like last year. Teams like Seattle, with Griffey and Alex Rodriguez, Boston with Vaughn and Clemens, Chi­ cago with the Big Hurt, and Baltimore with Cal and a whole slew of players, there are going to be some fireworks. There is nothing better than a game winning homerun in the ninth, or a sui­ cide squeeze. Hopefully, this year will bring back a dramatic series like Seattle and New York last year or the A's and the Dodgers in 1988. Cross Country opens season with home victory for Appalachian was senior Cristina Olson. Danny Sink Staff Writer The women's cross country team had hard time of it on Sunday, when the Women and the men were hosting a num­ ber of conference and non-conference reams for a meet at Moses Cone Park-Bass hake. The top spot in the women's draw was claimed by Liz Cotter, a senior at Wake Forest. Her time of 18:12 was only 55 sec­ onds off the course record set by Kim Bird °f East Tennensee State University back in 1982. Wake also laid claim to four more °f the top eight spots. The top finisher a In the final team scoring, the Demon Deacons took first place with a command­ ing 49 point victory. Appalachain took second, and Duke topped out the top three. The men's cross country team fared a bit better on the home turf. App ended up taking four of the top six places, and first place in the overall standings. Taking the individual honors for the meet was Appalachian's Will Dickerson, a sophmore from Easley, S.C., with a per­ sonal course best of 25:41. Senior Stephen Thacker of Bumsville, N.C. finished third for the Mountaineers, with this time of 26:15. In the final standings App won the meet by 18 points over UNC-Charlotte, with UNC-Asheville coming in third. Christina Olson Will Dickerson Would you pay a dollar a minute to see the Adanta Braves play? How about the Charlotte Hornets or Carolina Pan­ thers? Of course you wouldn't. If you or­ dered pay per view Saturday night, that's exactly what you got. The main attraction, the boxing match between Mike Tyson and Bruce Seldon, lasted 109 seconds. All in all, the pay per view show lasted approximately 45 minutes and cost $39.95 to order. The question is - how long will the public continue to order Tyson fights? How long can Don King and company fool the public into believing there will really be a fight? 1.2 million households ordered the Peter McNeely/ Mike Tyson bout in Au­ gust, 1995. Boxing fans everywhere wanted to see if Tyson still had it in him after time in prison. So, curious and devotee alike shelled out the $40 to see the brawl. Tyson's return ended in 89 seconds, when McNeely threw in the towel. Since then, Tyson has had three fights (including the Seldon match). One was televised on Fox for free. The other two have been pay per view. 600,000 to 700,000 households tuned in for them. From this, it's obvious that the num­ bers are decreasing. People won't con­ tinue to pay $40 to see a 100 second fight, when the fight in its entirety is an ESPN highlight. People would like to see Tyson go to six, eight, or even 10 rounds. Ifs almost a given that a Tyson fight won't last over five rounds. Is Tyson unstop­ pable? No, Tyson, "the baddest man on the planet," according to Seldon, is not unstoppable. He really hasn't been put to the test. A lot of people say they would fight Tyson for $5 million dollars. All they would have to do is step into the ring, be knocked out, and walk away $5 mil­ lion dollars richer. It would be a joke of a batde. However, as Seldon said after the fight, "Hey, I'm already a million­ aire." Nothing would matter after that. That's what Tyson's opponents do. They get tons of free exposure for fight­ ing Tyson, since he's the big man in box­ ing right now. His opponents are always the underdog, so it's never a big shock to anyone when they lose. Plus, they become millionaires in a matter of sec­ onds. That's not a bad way to make a living. Take Muhammad Ali in his prime and have him go against Tyson. He wouldn't roll over and die in seconds, and that definitely would be worth $40. Since that isn't possible, why not have a Tyson/Christy Martin matchup? Martin is champion of the women's box­ ing circuit with a 36-2-2 record. She wouldn't just keel over and die. Fans may treat it as a joke, but it wouldn't be any more of a spectacle than Tyson's other bouts. Even if a Tyson/ Martin match ended in the first round, it would be worth seeing. Until then, Tyson continues to pro­ vide 100 seconds of entertainment for $40. He still makes $15 million dollars a fight, while his opponent makes five million. Don King is happy. Tyson is happy. Seldon is happy. Only the pub­ lic is left holding the bag. It is time for a reality check to be sent to them. Want to see a good fight? Save your 40 bucks. Go to Blockbuster and rent Rocky Get your hands on some old Ali/Frazier footage. You won't miss anything by not ordering the latest Tyson fiasco. The whole thing will be showing on the 6:00 news. �The Appalachian 12 Sep, Page 8 Mountaineers win first game of season Field Hockey wins in OT over Hokies Kathy Beam Staff Writer The Appalachian State field hockey team emerged victorious in a close vic­ tory over the Virginia Tech club team on Sunday. The teams fought it out in regu­ lation and went into overtime before Ap­ palachian pulled out the 2-1 victory. Both teams were silent on offense until the second half. Leading the charge for the Lady Mountaineers was freshman Dana Fabretti of Great Falls, Va., with a goal in the second period. She was as­ sisted by junior Colleen Martin of LaPlata, Md. The Lady Hokies came right back with a goal, 30 seconds after the App State score to tie the game at 1-1. The score stayed knotted at one apiece until senior Megan Corridino of Norfolk, Va. broke the tie in sudden death overtime, giving the Lady Apps a 2-1 victory. Sophomore Kathryn Pearson of Win­ ston-Salem, N.C., had seven saves throughout the game. Sophomore Sue Fawsett from Winter Park, Fla. led the team in shots on goal with nine. Also tak­ ing multiple shots on goal were junior Heather Templeton of Monrovia, Md. with eight, and Corridino with seven. The win evens the Mountaineers record at 1-1, even though the stats will not count since the Lady Apps' opponent was a club team and not an official var­ sity squad. The Lady Mountaineers have two home games coming up. The first is to­ night against Wake Forest at 7:30 p.m. The second is on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ver­ sus Davidson.

An author, philosopher and a pro­ fessor of religion and Afro-American stud­ ies at Harvard University. West examined the turbulent history of race relations in America. "I am a small part of a tradition of struggle," said West in his address to faculty and students. "How does one keep a tradition of struggle alive?" According to West, that struggle can be kept alive through education and learning from past mistakes. "We often forget how spoiled and privileged we are after looking back to the past 96 years," he said. West also spoke about the hun­ dreds of millions of people persecuted for their ideologies over the centuries. "Education is a quest for wisdom," he said. "With education, we would see the pettiness in our past actions and we would not continue to persecute others for being different." Addressing race relations in America, West stated that "...if there is some white supremacy in me, then there Cornel West addressed a capacity crowd at Varsity gym for this year's convocation. (Photo by Richard Thomas) is some in you. Check yourself." "The question is not that I am a white supremist or a homosexual, the question is, "Am I wrestling with it?" West asked. "The way to find yourself is to wrestle." West urged the audience to find their "sense of history." "Not sentimental, fantasy of in- nocence, history. I'm talking about tragic and comic history that allows us to laugh at ourselves." As far as the future is concerned, Dr. West did not feel very optimistic about the 21st century. "The future looks bleak," he said. "Yet, if we educate ourselves inward as well as outward, then it may change." After the ceremony, students com­ mented on the excellent speech that West gave. "The speech was great and very articulate," said freshman Kelly Coughlin. "I thought it was an excellent speech," said senior Thomas Flippin. "It explained the dire times that America is in." He sustained electrical burns on his arms and is in stable condition after accidentally dropping a screwdriver into the circuit board at around 8:40 a.m. "It is a very unfortunate accident, but luckily the power shut off before any other injuries occurred," said Clyde Robbins, Associate Vice Chancellor for Physical Operations. The accident set off the fire alarm, summoning the Boone Fire Department and ambulances to the scene. The power was out for several hours and the computers were down for three hours. "A power outage usually trips the emergency generators but the generator battery had run down and the emergency lights and reserve power did not work," Robbins said. The battery was replaced and a series of tests was run on the generators. The back-up generators are now in work­ ing order. Classes could not continue be­ cause of the lack of light and power. "I was in my CIS class when the power went out," said Senior Lene Alley. "We tried to continue the class by flicking our lighters for light but we finally had to end class early." "An accident like this has never happened in my four years here before, and hopefully this will never occur again," Robbins said.

Funding cuts for AppalCart cutbacks Jennifer Sharpe Staff Writer Put on your walking shoes. Beginning Sept. 16, Appalcart's Crosstown route will operate Monday through Friday only. There will no longer be AppalCart service to the State Farm lot on Saturdays. Appalchian State University Transportation Director Christopher Turner said that Appalcart intends to make additional changes ending the Crosstown route at 10:10 p.m. each day — one hour earlier than its present schedule. Students who live in Appalachian Heights or park at South Lot are going to find that the Gold Route will also be af­ fected. According to Turner, the Gold Route will run until 9:36 p.m. Monday through Thursday and until 7:07 p.m. on Fridays. The Gold Route currently oper­ ates until 11:07 p.m. daily. "Rimer claimed that the changes are necessary due to extreme budget cuts enacted by the federal and state govern­ ments. "AppalCart usage is not a prob­ lem," he said. 'This has actually been the best August that we have ever had." The Federal Transportation Pro­ gram supplied $227,667 to the 1996 bud­ get, down from $277,855 in 1995. The state acted similarly by reducing the Appalcart's funds from $176,000 in 1995 to $166,000 this year. Appalachian students will be seeing less and less of the AppalCart in the future, due to budget cuts. (Photo by Natalie Collins) The cuts resulted in a projected budget deficit of $18,000 for the 1996-97 fiscal year. Even after eliminating the POP 105 route and two mechanic's positions, AppalCART requested a four to five per­ cent increase from the Town of Boone, Appalachian State and Watauga County. While the county was able to meet the increase request, the town fell $1,739 short and Appalchian fell $13,991 short. "I hope [students] will realize there's not a lot we can do because of the cuts, it's hard to make up the difference," "Rimer said. To help compensate, three parttime driving positions were eliminated. Turner said the cuts reduced the part-time salary budget from $140,000 to $90,000. Turner also added, "We do appre­ ciate the support of all students and fac­ ulty who ride the Appalcart. We'll try to restore service as soon as we can." "Cutting Saturday access to State Farm area makes it a lot harder on every­ body," said freshman Jason Kluttz. "My conem is for the freshmen who don't have cars and can't get around town without the Appalcart," said junior Carrie Sparks. �The Appalachian 10 September SOCIAL SECURITY Where the money goes Many people think their Social Security toes (FICA) go into a separate hind and are saved for their retirement Here s what really happens and what could happen in the future: How It works now: Tax for Social Security deducted from workers' checks; employer sends to Treasury.

Students here at Appalachian have often taken our beloved system of transit, the AppalCART, for granted. [ Guess what? Beginning on September 16, we're los jng some of it. The new running schedule (detailed on our front page today) leaves many students up the proverbial •creek without a paddle." The elimination of the Saturday Crosstown route is ridiculous. There are many students and Boone J residents who have no mode of transportation and no one to give them a ride when they need to go somewhere. The new AppalCART setup creates a situation of immobilization for these people on Sat­ urdays. The Crosstown route runs all over Boone, going to places likeBoone Mall and the Quinn Center. Many students rely on this route to do routine shopping at grocery stores and K-Mart. This route also services the students who park at the State Farm lot. The other routes that do this run Sunday through Friday. That means that nobody who parks at State Farm (and pays $50 to do so) can ac­ cess their vehicle using the AppalCART for transpor­ tation on Saturday. It is exacdy four miles roundtrip from Plemmons Student Union (the most central point on campus that we could think of) to the State Farm lot. This is not the most pleasant walk, especially when the weather is poor. Students who pay to park should at least be given fair access to the parking lot. The decrease in the Gold route's running times also presents a problem to students who live in Moun­ taineer Apartments and Appalachian Heights. There are 296 students living in App Heights. There are 90 units at Mountaineer Apartments with a varying num­ ber of residents in each. The change in the AppalCART schedule for this one route will affect many, many people who live on Bodenheimer Drive as well as those who park at the South Lot. (At press time the Traffic Office was unable to provide the number of parking permits given out so far this year for South Lot). The Gold route now runs from 6:53 a.m. until 11:07 p.m. With the new schedule, the Gold will run <m\y until 9:36 p.m. Monday through Thursday. On Friday it will stop running at 7:06 p.m. This means if you live at App Heights forget about going any­ where after 7 p.m. on a Friday night. When App Heights was completed two years ago, the Blue route, which runs every 14 minutes, was created because most residents used the AppalCART to get down the hill, especially in bad weather. From Appalachian Heights to the Student Union, it's about 1.8 miles. That's quite a haul to get to cam pus. Bodenheimer Drive rises into a very steep, curvy hill leading to App Heights and walking up it isn't enjoyable for most students. There is a possible solution to this problem but unfortunately, it cannot be implemented until the Driving Range parking deck is completed (sometime in the next century). An easy fix to the parking prob­ lems is to move the people who park at South to the parking deck and the State Farm people to the South Lot. Until then, students should demand better ser wee. After all, we pay for access to the AppalCART as part of our student fees. The blame needs to be placed where it belongs- on the Town of Boone and the university.

This is how some­ one jokingly advised me to start this piece, and after some consideration, I decided that nothing else could be more appropriate. Harvey Gantt is in actuality much more than the term human applies. Here is a man who has risen from a childhood in government housing to become a successful architect and even the mayor of the larg­ est city in N.C. As he is fond of saying, he is the embodiment of the American Dream. Even so, this is not the reason 500 voters attended a Gantt rally at Watauga High School last Tuesday. Hundreds of people attended because they know that Harvey Gantt is capable of leading N.C. and the na­ tion out of a dark age and into a new millennium. It is time for America to put behind a past that is filled with ignorance, hatred, and big­ otry. Gantt did not stand at the microphone and toss out the typical political rhetoric. He pushed ahead with fierce declarations against the discrimination of women in the work force. Studies have shown on repeated occa­ sions that women are paid less than men for equal work. Gantt understands that it is time for antiquated ideas to be destroyed instead of left to fester. To be polite about the issue, Helms is an artifact of a previous world where all women and minorities were considered subservient to males of European decent. We can no longer as a nation accept such ideologies as legitimate beliefs, we must accept them as symptoms of hatred and in­ justice. The cornerstone of Gantt's platform is simple. He believes that what really matters to the American public is what he calls "dinner table politics." This refers to the issues that touch home for families and are discussed around the supper table. These include education, the economy, jobs, and the environment. It is incredibly difficult for me to understand how a college student, especially at a public institution, could be a Republican. I could never vote for a can­ didate that refuses to support the dreams of moving David Wainer Chief Copy Editor Editorial Department 262-6233 or 262-3104 Advertising Department 262-2157 Production Department 262-6256 Viewpoint by Josh Hedrick Columnist up in the world. Each year the importance of a col­ lege education goes up. Education is the key to the lock of poverty. Denying grants and loans is an ef­ fort to make universities exclusive to a certain sec­ tion of the population. It locks Americans into one make millions of dollars and put it in the hands of the top one percent of the population, instead of giv­ ing the common worker more than $4.25 an hour. At the slightest indication of money lost, pink slips are mailed to people who have given their en­ tire adult lives to the company. The current Con­ gress barely passed a bill to raise minimum wage. They seem to figure if they eliminate welfare then the out-of-work citizen will magically find a new job since the government will not help them out. Gantt sees the repulsive actions of big business and deeply desires to give a hand up to those defeated by the system. These same corporations control the political system in America. The tobacco industry alone pumps hundreds of thousands into the already deep pockets of Jesse Helms. The average citizen is left feeling helpless as the entire po­ litical system looms above them shrouded in dark clouds. When Gantt spoke he emphasized the need to empower the people. He talked of his interest in building coalitions, bring­ ing many individuals together, giving them a great deal more power than a single av­ erage American could obtain. This coalition building is much of the reason that Gantt nearly beat Helms in 1990. Only through a series of last minute advertisements that twisted the platform of Gantt did Helms overcome the grassroots movement to remove him from office. "Gantt understands the plight of the impoverished and the struggle to rise above your roots. " world and prevents them from moving up society's economic ladder. We have an important obligation to our American youth who are born into poverty. We cannot allow the cycle of poverty to eat away at our country any longer. Gantt understands the plight of the impoverished and the struggle to rise above your roots. He sup­ ports programs that make an attempt to break the cycle, especially Headstart. We must begin to value the children and prevent them from falling into the same pit as their parents. Every week the nightly news reports on one of the greatest problems in America, the struggle of the worker. Companies feel it is their patriotic duty to I credit the Republican party and conservatives for discovering that Helms could be used as their of­ ficial puppet and actually keeping him in office since the seventies. Last Tuesday night Harvey Gantt stood before his cheering supporters and stated his beliefs, and hopefully soon it will be the Senate listening to him speak. It is time for the citizens of N.C. to step forward from a dark oppressive past and support Gantt. Gantt will be the architect that can help us build a new era in our state. It will be an era where social, economic, gender, and racial barriers can finally be torn down. U.S. Overstepping Its Bounds Guest Editorial by Dr. Jawad Barghothi Although there are differences among the nation state systems in the international community, one can find a number of similarities. These similarities center in general terms around the nations' interests of these states and their objec­ tives. These objectives are: preservation of the nation's physical security and territorial integrity, pro­ tection of it's political sovereignty and maintenance of it's regime. When Saddam Hussein's army moved within Iraqi boarders to help one Kurdish faction, in Iraq against another in the city of Irbil, the Iraqi army was protecting it's territorial integrity and political sovereignty. This is not to rationalize Hussein's meth­ ods, it is simply a clarification of international law. I believe that the policy that the United States has followed the past six years will not remove Hussein from his position of authority, rather it will strengthen his hold on power. It is important to understand that Hussein's policy the past few years has been to destroy the coalition against him. To this end we are witnessing the be­ ginning of the end of that coalition. Not one of the coalition's Arab partners, with the exception of Ku­ wait, supports the US in their recent attack against Iraq. France, Russia, and the People's Republic of China are working against the United States. President Clinton stated that we want Hussein to stop his aggression against his own people in the north and south of Iraq. The American policy in this instance appears inconsistent to many people in the Middle East. For example, the United States is doing nothing against Iran's and Turkey's war against the Kurds within their borders. In the past few months, both Iran and Hirkey have launched attacks against the Kurds in the north of Iraq and the United States did nothing to stop these attacks. For a policy to be effective the state must have certain articulated objectives. The Clinton adminis­ tration needs to explain these objectives, which seem muddled. One of the explanations the United States has given for it's attacks on Iraq has to do with protect­ ing our Saudi ally. However, the government in Saudi Arabia does not support our recent efforts against Iraq. Another explanation that the United States has given has to do with United Nations resolutions deal­ ing with Iraq. From the time of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait the United States has attained, from the United Na­ tions Security Council, resolutions to counter Iraq's aggression. However, these resolutions alone do not explain these recent attacks on Iraq. The people in the Middle East know how many resolutions against the state of Israel were ignored by the United States, David Williamson Junior "I think it was very justified. We should continue to take out their defenses as Iong as they're doing other people bad." How do you feel about Dr. Rick McGarry Professor the United States Foreign Languages bombing Iraq? "I... don't know much about why it was done Dr. Silvio Sirias Professor except that the Iraqis were going into Kurdish territory, and they probably need to keep out. Oil is always an issue in any kind of Middle Eastern intervention." Foreign Languages Richard Elder Sophomore "I haven't been keeping up with the news, which is sad because I'm a journalism major. I don't know the reasons why we attacked, or what has been going on. So, I don't have an opinion right now." "I'm against U.S. intervention into other countries' affairs... But it's difficult to draw the line and say 'we can't intervene' when the Kurds are killing each other. The French have very quietly said that the whole thing is election year macho posturing, and I think the French are partly right." I and thus unenforced. «• One must recognize that U.N. resolutions before the war against Iraq were for the purpose of expel;, ling the Iraqi army from Kuwait. It has nothing to do with creating a divided Iraq into north and south-.. Not one of the twelve resolutions passed by the Se-: curity Council went beyond the liberation of Kuwait. Nothing ever has been said by the United Nations about the conquest or the division of Iraq, the war crimes of Saddam or the destruction of Iraq's milU tary machine. Now that we have annihilated his army devastated the country and succeeded in expelling him from Kuwait, we have no warrant to continue to pursue the Iraqi regime Clinton's rhetoric is hurtling the United States toward more action against Iraq. The administra­ tion has claimed that the United States is protecting our vital national interest by attacking Iraq. Unfor­ tunately, the administration has failed to give the American people an adequate answer to the crucial question: What vital interest of ours is being threat­ ened by Iraqi action in the north? By continuously attacking and humiliating Iraq, the United States must recognize that it's attacks also humiliate the entire Arab and Moslem world. The continued humiliation of the Iraqi people, by increasing their hardship through the maintenance of the economic embargo or the continuous attacks against the army of Iraq, can hardly help us to achieve our goals of a new measure of stability in the Middle East. Rulers come and go while alliances are always shifting and nothing is permanent but impermanence. What pitifully short memories we have!

There's the one about how Liberace actually faked his death and is now working in the school post office. There's another about a member of the Delta Chi fraternity who doesn't own one single pair of khakis. You may even have heard the one regard­ ing actress Alicia Silverstone's attending Appalachian Okay, I'll admit I made the first two up. How­ ever, the latter of the three has actually been circu­ lating for some time. It is also the only one of the three that could in any way be possible. If you were here last year you might have heard that weird guy down your hall say that he heard it on Entertainment Tonight (which just isn't the same without the brilliant John Tesh). Anyway, it is a dubious but interesting little tid­ bit that should at least get some attention in a dubi­ ous but interesting little column like this one. So here goes. I didn't know much about Alicia Silverstone in the first place so I asked around a little bit. It seems that Silverstone was that chick (or chyck, for my feminist readers) who gave us those scintillating performances in a number of Aerosmith music vid­ eos a few years back. If you're among those who never watch MTV (and for that you should be proud) one of her little storylines was about scaring her boyfriend by jump­ ing off of a bridge while exuding sex appeal. There's another one where she tempts a farmhand off of his tractor by exuding sex appeal (after which the tractor develops a mind of its own and learns how to spell out words in the corn field). I understand that Silverstone was only in her early to mid-teens when she made most of these appear­ ances. Now that's what I call a child prodigy. She is probably best known for her starring role in 1995's "Clueless," yet another movie made for the purpose of teaching young people new slang terms to use so they can sound even more foolish. She was also in a movie I actually did see called "The Crush," a suspense thriller about an obsessive fourteen year old seductress (hey, if you had been all alone in a motel in Salem, Va. on a Saturday night you'd have watched it too). Finally, she's also sup­ posed to play Batgirl in the next Batman movie. All in all, if an actress of this caliber is really com­ ing to ASU, it's definitely newsworthy. Especially for all the sororities who would, like, you know, just die or something if they couldn't recruit her. I'm not the only one who was interested in find­ ing out the truth about Alicia Silverstone. Phil Laton, a senior from Southern Pines, used the telnet to see if Alicia Silverstone appeared on the list of e-mail ad­ dresses. He found no one with that name at Appala­ chian. "If she is here, she's using an alias," Phil reported. Still, I could not give up. I decided to collect a few rumors. I figured that if I heard a few, I could take the commonalties in each and find a consensus. A Sorority's Dream. Here Miss Silverstone exudes sex appeal while chewing gum.

How about Stevie Ray Vaughn? y0U can't see him, either. What, then, could satisfy your craving for flashy, blues guitar work? Try the Gibb Droll Band. ! The music of Gibb Droll is a fusion of jie blues with a 90's rock sensibility. It could be said that they sound like Hendrix and Vaughn blended with the Dave Matthews Band. In fact, Gibb Droll has played with Dave Matthews, in addition p such diverse acts as B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Widespread Panic and Robert Cray, j When you hear this music, you've just got to dance. Gibb Droll, the singer and guitarist, is an extraordinary talent on guitar. He has been known to play the guitar behind his back, with his teeth, with beer bottles and just about anything else he can think of using. Droll is an incredible showman, i and his passion for the music really shows, i Probably the most unbelievable thing he has done on stage came at a show at fc the Cat's Cradle in Chapel Hill. He broke ) five strings during a blistering version of Hendrix's "Machine Gun." Rather than stop, he kept playing the solo on one string. He used the broken strings for some really psychedelic effects. Somehow he stayed within the song using on-the-fly improvisation. The collective mouth of the crowd dropped. However, the Gibb Droll Band is by no means a one-man band. Mike Will­ iams is an incredibly intense and explo­ sive drummer. Williams was the first member to join Gibb Droll in 1993. Pete Mathis, a jazz-styled piano player, joined a short time later. Kevin Hamilton, bass, joined the band this spring, as did Doug Wanamaker who plays Hammond organ and saxophone. This band is no stranger to life on the road. Having played nearly 400 shows over the past two years, the Gibb Droll band has seen many places. The energy they display in a live set has given them the reputation for being one of the hottest bands in the southeast. To date, the band has released two albums. The first, "Dharma," was released in 1994. Recorded in an amazing three days, the album has sold 10,000 copies. "Narrow Mouth Jar" was released in late 1995 and is a more refined record. Both albums have received high critical acclaim. If you want to check out an electrify­ ing live performance by a regional act, go see the Gibb Droll Band. They are per­ forming at Legend's on Wednesday, Sept. 11. Doors will open at 9 p.m. and tickets are $5 in advance, $7 at the door. The Albert Hill Band will be the opening act.

Although most students would say that they came here because the school is in the mountains, how many can truly say that they know what it means to live out­ side of the campus community? How many actually know about the area's his­ tory, its people or its culture? Toni M. Mazzaglia, a sophomore from Raleigh, said that she didn't know any­ thing about this area's culture or music before she came to school at ASU and she still feels as though being at school has not made her much more aware of the local culture. Several organizations on campus are, however, trying to change students' lack of knowledge about the area. The Folk Music Club is an organization which seeks to promote music from the mountains, as well as other types of folk music. The president of the club, sophomore Lucas J: Pasley of Raleigh, says that moun­ tain music is unique, in that it combines very strong Scotch, Irish, and English roots with African influences, like the banjo. He says that students on campus are mini­ mally involved with the community be­ cause they are minimally aware. "We do work to publicize events in the local community, but in meetings we really like to just sit around and play and sing a lot of really good music," says Pasley. Besides the Folk Music Club, there are many other opportunities to play tradi­ tional music in Boone. Friend's Music, which is no the Highway 105 extension, provides a place every week for musicians to come in and have informal jam sessions with local talent. Throughout the year, and especially in the fall, the Boone community gathers either at one of the area schools or some other public place and has a community day where locals play music. The local musicians love to have stu­ dents come and participate too. The mu­ sic is something they love, and new blood means that it won't die out with them. There are many opportunities in sur­ rounding communities as well. Mary Greene, a local musician and faculty member, said that The Blowing Rock Chamber of Commerce "Concert in the Park" series will be featuring one of the area's best fiddlers, Ora Watson, on Sept. 22. All it takes is a little seeking, and stu­ dents can discover an entirely different culture right next door. The Appalachian Heritage Council, an official APPS council, also regularly hosts guest artists on campus. Last spring, the organization hosted an Appalachian Heri­ tage Festival, which was a great success, and hopefully will be repeated again this year. Pasley said that it is "just as impor­ tant to get out into the community and go to the dances and performances as it is to play the music." Traditional dancing was the main rea­ son most mountain music was played, and it is still very popular in this area. On the second Saturday of every month, the Boone Country Dancers host a traditional square and contra dance (contra is a New England dance which is very similar to Ap­ palachian dance) at the Apple Barn in Valle Cruris. The Heritage Council regularly hosts contra dances and performers on campus. In September, the council will be hosting an old-time band called the "Freight Hop­ pers," which council chairman Alex Hooker claims is one of the best in this area. The council will also be hosting a per­ formance by "Doc Waston and Friends" in October. There is also a clogging club on cam­ pus, The Appalachian Cloggers, which meets weekly on Wednesday nights. Stu­ dents can also travel outside of town to either Crossnore or Laurel Springs and learn how to perform traditional solo mountain dancing, called flat-footing. The Folk Music Club can be contacted for information on these events at 2667683. Although the local culture surround­ ing Appalachian may not exacdy fit into a college student's typical social schedule, Pasley says that students who do not get involved with the culture are "missing out on a huge part of the experience of living in the mountains." For any students who wish to expand their college experience while at Appala­ chian, there is no end to the opportuni­ ties to experience the surviving and grow­ ing culture of the mountains. boysu evea s G s t t i n ' soms' p i a yshockingr v e y rsexualiinsights new Features Commentari Matthew Russ Features Editor Have you ever used a mirror, been blind-folded or tied up, shaved your pu­ bic hair or been the subject of a spanking to enhance sex?

The Mountaineers offense was stagnant in the first half, but woke up just enough in the second half to give the Apps a 16-3 win Saturday night 0ver Tennessee Tech in the team's home opener at Kidd Brewer Stadium. It was one of those games where if you didn't know any better, you'd think the Apps would be winning by about 40 points. Yet at half-time, the Mountaineers only held a 3-0 lead over a team that maned to put up a pathetic 39 total yards on offense and looked even more anemic than Appalachian on that side of the ball. A big part of the Mountaineers prob­ lems early was their inability to score in­ side the red zone. The Apps were able to drive deep into Tennessee Tech territory on their first three possessions only to lose the ball on fumbles by junior Gerard Hardy of Cramerton, N.C., and senior Damon Scott of Cedar Grove, N.C., and a missed field goal by senior place-kicker Jay Sutton of Wingate, N.C. Hardy said that the Tennesse Tech defense played tough deep in their own territory but that the Mountaineers offense "stuffed itself a couple times in the red zone." Luckily the Apps were able to make up for their offensive drought on the de­ fensive side of the ball. The Apps defense punished the Golden Eagles offensive unit in the first half, allowing Tennesse Tech just nine yards on the ground while forc­ ing them to switch quarterbacks later in the game. On one series late in the first quarter, sophomore defensive end J on Fanning of Virginia Beach, Va. sacked quarterback Greg Triplett on all three downs, forcing the Golden Eagles into a fourth and 25 punting situation. Junior defensive lineman Jackie Avery of Garner, N.C. said that the App defense "had a lot of fun out there." Senior Dex­ ter Coakley of Mt. Pleasant, S.C., who set a new ASU record with 507 career tack­ les by racking up eight in the game, said Damon Scott makes the final touchdown of Saturday s game, securing the win for ASU. (Photo by Robert Parriott) the Apps had "confidence knowing that we could dominate the game." At the start of the second half, the Apps offense still looked as though it were going to have trouble putting points on the board. The Apps went 39 yards on their opening drive of the half before punt­ ing the ball away. Then on the second drive of the quar­ ter, Scott was able to complete a 58-yard scoring drive with a 19-yard pass recep­ tion for a touchdown which put Appala­ chian up 9-0. The score stayed that way after a bad snap on the extra point attempt forced holder Allen Guinn to make a mad scramble for the two-point conversion which ended up just short of the end zone. The Apps were able to put the Golden Eagles away in the fourth quarter when they followed a Tennessee Tech field goal with a 62-yard touchdown drive that brought the Mountaineers to a 16-3 ad­ vantage with 2:37 remaining in the game. The nail in the coffin was junior cornerback Elando Johnson's interception on the Golden Eagles first play after the touchdown, which gave the Apps the ball and the victory. Coach Jerry Moore said afterwards that he thought the team "played about as well as we can play" on defense but that the team is "struggling for an iden­ tity on offense." One thing the Apps were not strug­ gling for on offense was rushing yards. The Mountaineers racked up 325 yards on the ground in 74 attempts. Both Scott and Hardy had over 100 yards apiece, re­ cording 161 and 147 yards respectively. After evening their record at 1-1 the Mountaineers will take next weekend off before facing the tenth-ranked Colonels of Eastern Kentucky. That game will be played at 7:00 p.m. September 21 in Rich­ mond, Ky. Freshmen get first taste Men's soccer still winless of Mountaineer football after four road games 'Spectators agree that App fans must sit Asher Yamauchi David Jackson Staff Writer Eric Ehlers Staff Writer Football! Football! Football! The big came to town this weekend with the first home game against Tennessee Tech, ending in a 16-3 victory for Appalachian State University. It was also the first ever game for many ASU stu­ dents. Freshmen Piled into the sta­ dium filled with anticipation of he game. "I was "eally excited to 1° to the first 'ante. It gave me •°mething to do, and a chance to 'ave some fun vith my friends, said freshman mron Gravett. Many freshmen enjoyed the expen­ se of not having to pay to get in, but °nie expressed concern over the concesi°n prices. "I had to pay six dollars for a izza. Needless to say it was not worth Pe money I put down for it," said freshtan Matt Bielejeski. Kickoff started off the season for fresh­ en, who soon learned that sitting down t the game was not an option if you 'anted to see anything. "I though that it 'as rather obnoxious that you had to and for the whole game. You can see 'st as well sitting down as you can stand­ 's up," said freshman Brenden Rooney. During the game, freshmen got to see d°t of action, or lack thereof, depending 1 how you look at it. An opening drive !Vent Many sports teams require time to find themselves at the beginning of the season. This appears to be what the Ap­ palachian State men's soccer team is cur­ rently going through. The Apps are off to an 0-4 start on the young season after being handed losses by UNC-Charlotte, Winthrop and Radford. UNC -Charlotte relied on two second half goals to come from behind and beat the Mountaineers 3-1 Wednesday night. Senior forward Jason Asher, of Conyers, Va. scored the lone goal for Appalachian. At the Verbatim Invitational in Davidson last weekend, the Apps contin­ ued to play solid, competitive soccer, only to come up short on the scoreboard. Winthrop handed the Mountaineers a 3-1 loss Saturday afternoon as App freshman midfielder Mark Rapp, of Richmond, \fo. notched his first goal at the collegiate level. Sunday, Appalachian was edged by Radford 3-2. Sophomore forward Naoshi Yamuchi, of Chapel Hill, netted both goals for the Mountaineers. Despite beginning the season with four losses, Head Coach Art Rex is confi­ dent that his team possesses the ability to turn things around. "We are playing good soccer," said Rex. "We have a good at­ tacking six, we just need to develop a solid defensive mindset." Rex's troops have little time to imple­ ment any new strategy as they travel to Wofford College tonight. Rex hopes to have a better handle on the progress of his team after tonight's game, since the Apps then begin Southern Conference play on Friday afternoon at 5:30 p.m., when Georgia Southern makes the trip up the mountain. Friday's game marks the first of the season for the Mountaineers in the friendly confines of Kidd Brewer Stadium. got the crowd pumped, but hey were soon disillusioned after two fumbles on the Apps first two drives. That pretty much describes the first half. Once the team started to look like they were going to make their move, something went wrong. "It was so up and down that you just got tired watching after a while. The game just lasted too long," said freshman Dorothy Timbs. Half-time became the high point of the game. The band surprised many people with their renditions of disco clas­ sics. The crowd was especially pleased with some old Village People tunes, and started forming the Y.M.C.A sym­ bol with their hands. "The band was dope! When they played all those funky Village People tunes, I just lost all control," said freshman Trey Whittenton. Just when things got really boring the team started to do something. The Moun­ taineers finally got a touchdown in the third quarter. This helped relieve some of the tension the crowd was feeling and brought some action into the game. "I thought they were never going to get a touchdown. Thank goodness they finally did," said freshman Dave Wittman. At the end of the game, freshmen were happy to see a Mountaineer at their first game. The contest was not as excit­ ing as they hoped, but a victory is a vic­ tory. "I had fun at my first game hanging out with my friends. I can't wait to go to some more," said freshman Stacey Carter. "I thought thatit was rather obnoxious that you had to stand for the whole game. You can see just as well sitting down as you can standing up Rooney As promised, 1 am back with the sec­ ond pan of my piece on football officiat­ ing, the "Gag Clause." What is it, and how does it affect the players and coaches of your favorite teams? To address this question we have to first understand that there are two dif­ ferent Gag Clauses. There is a confer­ ence clause and an NCAA clause for post­ season play. Since the Mountaineers would first have to win several more games for the NCAA rules to affect us, let's address the Southern Conference regulations first. The information concerning these rules and regulations are covered in the Southem Conference Constitution. In a nut­ shell, the policy says that coaches will not discuss officials or their calls with the press after a game. The constitution goes on to say that coaches are not allowed to visit the referees' dressing rooms before the game, during the half, or afterwards (hey, wonder why that's in there?). Complaints are made directly to (or n reality screamed at) the officials dur­ ing or after the games. All complaints are to be sent in writing to the Supervi­ sor of Officials with copies to the Ath­ letic Director and the Commissioner. And here's the biggie! Under no cir cumstances shall anyone comment pub­ licly or issue statements to the public criti­ cizing an official's performance. In preparation for this story, I had the opportunity to interview Don Lucas, the Coordinator of Football Officials of the Southern Conference. So I started off with the obvious question- "Why do we lave a Gag Clause?" "For the integrity of the game," said Lucas, "It doesn't do anything positive for the coaches or administration (of a school) to bash the officials in public." Doesn't this in some small way al­ low for the referees to get away with making bad calls unchecked? Mr. Lucas explained that referees are signed to a contract from year to year. The renewal of their contract relies, at least partly, onj their evaluations. You might be thinking, "Who Evalu­ ates these guys?" Well, it turns out that several people get a say in it. First, you tave the officials from the game evaluat­ ing each other, then observers that travel around and watch different games get to put in their two cents. Finally, the coaches get to put in their critique. The coaches from each team receive an index card sized form with five differ­ ent columns after each game. Each col­ umn has a maximum of five and a mini­ mum of one. I wonder how many times the cards came back full of zeros? The five columns each consist of a number of related criteria. The first col­ umn is Appearance and Physical Condi tion. After all, if a referee can't keep up with the play then they can't make a good call. Next comes Positioning, Coverage, and Movement. This one deals with ques tions like "Did the ref place himself in a position to make the call?" and "Was he out of the way of the play?" Consistency, Common Sense, and Judgment top out the third column. This is pretty much self explanatory. Then comes Decisiveness, Game Con­ trol, and Poise. This deals with how sure a ref is about their calls, if they kept things under control, and more importantly, if they were able to keep themselves under control. Finally, and quite possibly the most important, is ability to work with coaches and players. In fact, if a coach and the players are not able to communicate with the officiating crew, then it is only going to add to what could already be a frus trating situation. A lot of people would write off the evaluations that are submitted by the of­ ficials saying, "Yeah, like they're going to admit they screwed up." According to Ron Lucas, however; "Evaluations of of­ ficials, for the most part, parallel the evaluations of the observers and coaches." But what about this NCAA gag clause? Well, it's pretty much cut and dry. NCAA regulations state that all coaches, players, or other representatives from an institution shall make no state­ ments critical of the officiating in an NCAA championship event. Well, those are the rules, but what see Gag Rule on page il �The Appalachian 27 August 1996 KiffllCr's Korner •A little bit of everything in sports Women's soccer picks up first win Kathy Beam Staff Writer Chris Kinner Assistant Sports Editor OVERLY APPRECIATIVE: Is it just me, or does every post game interview seem to end with "....and I'd like to thank God for my skills...?" AMAZIN' METS: New manager Bobby Valentine will lead New York to the playoffs next season, and the World Se­ ries is not out of the question. He led AAA Norfolk to two consecutive Interna­ tional League West Division pennants in three years as manager, using the same roster that Dallas Green guided to medi­ ocrity in the NL East.

GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN: Thanks to his first round flop Saturday night, Bruce Seldon is a multimillionaire. I think he just wanted to stay alive to spend the check. CRASH LANDING: After spending $25 million on free agent quarterback Neil O'Donnell, the Jets have stumbled to an 0-2 start. New York may not have enough money left to sign the top pick in next year's draft. MOP IT UP: Pete Sampras vomited on the court repeatedly during his thrill­ ing five set victory in the U.S. Open quarterfinals. Why did CBS feel obliged i to show the replay? DUPLICATION: Remember ASU's per­ fect Southern Conference record of a year ago? Watch for Marshall to achieve the feat in 1996. JUST WONDERING: Who decided to pick Marshall as ASU's homecoming op­ ponent? I would feel more comfortable with Furman or VMI in that role. DECLAWED: If the Bengals were without Jeff Blake and Carl Pickens, the Jets might actually win a game this sea­ son. MACHO MAN: John McEnroe, now sporting a goatee, is beginning-to look more and more like fellow announcer Bud Collins. BLUE HEELS: The North Carolina football team has risen to 12th in the polls after beating Clemson and Syracuse. En­ joy it while it lasts, Heels fans. The boys in blue will fall much farther than they have risen by season's end. STILL THE MAN: Despite being over­ shadowed by John Smoltz this season, Greg Maddux is still the best pitcher in baseball. He'll show it throughout the playoffs. IN PASSING: As much as I despise John Madden, I would still love to ride in that bus of his just once. BAD IDEA: Anyone who thinks that ASU should move up to division I-A need only reflect on the Aug. 29 loss to Wake Forest. STRICT POLICY: If there is no alco­ hol allowed in Kidd Brewer Stadium, why are the bathrooms always full? SUPER BOWL REMATCH: Many counted the Cowboys and the Steelers out after their humbling season-opening losses. The way these two teams played on Sunday, I wouldn't be suprised to see both competing in January's final game. NOT TELEGINIC: Chris Collinsworth is the worst studio announcer in sports.

Service A Fairness, Accuracy and Public Servic since 1934 Appalachian State University Boone, North Carolina 28608 Vohniie_7jj_Number_2^ Students march against violence Kristina Miller Staff Writer The seventh annual Walk for Aware­ ness took place on Sept. 3 with hundreds of students and faculty quietly demonstrating against violence. The walk started in 1989 after the rape and murder of Jeni Gray, a university staff writer whose memory the walk is dedi­ cated to. After her attack, the town rallied together and began the walk as a community effort against violence. Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski addressed the crowd gathered in front of B.B. Dougherty Hall. Borkowski said,"We gather to re­ member that sad time seven years ago, and to continue working together to prevent violence from happening again," he said. "Keep the spirit of this walk in your hearts and minds year round." After a speech from members of the Student Development Center, the crowd walked through the heart of campus and down King Street. A gong was rung every few min­ utes as a symbol of the women who had been victimized on campus. "This walk gives me a sense of to­ getherness, and I feel better as a freshman knowing that Boone and ASU are intertwined as one strong community," said freshman Amanda Boone. The walk ended at the Lois Harrold Students participate in the Walk for Awareness on Tuesday night. "Keep the spirit of the walk in your hearts and minds year round, Chancellor Borkowski told the students. (Photo by Ashley Efrid) Senior Center where candles were distributed and various speakers and poets addressed the crowd. Poetry was read on stage by Christie Barstow, Amber Walker, Renee Evans, Lene Alley and Jason Kincaid about various sub­ jects from sexual assault to courage. The night ended on an emotional note as Leigh Cooper Wallace, who was at­ tacked by the same man as Gray and brought the man to justice, addressed the crowd. She talked about her experience and ended by say­ ing, "...find your voice and use it." "This is my third year attending the walk, and every year it has made me stop and think about how horrible violence can be," said junior Jeff Davenport. "This walk is great to educate people." "1 know we can't eliminate all violence, but through actions like these we can hope­ fully make people more aware and compas­ sionate," said freshman Jeff Elmore. "Peeping Tom" incidents occur in two dorms • Residents will now vote on lockdown policy Vanessa Urruela Editor-in-Chief Two women in White and Lovill residence halls became victims of a "Peep­ ing Tom" while they were in the shower on the morning of Sunday, Aug. 25. According to police reports, the two women were taking showers when an unidentified male entered the bathrooms. The first incident took place at 9 a.m. in a bathroom on the fourth floor of Lovill Hall. The female resident heard the shower curtain move and turned around to find a man looking over it at her. "She screamed and he ran from the scene," said ASU Police Capt. Larry Foster. Police reports say the second incident occured on the third floor of White Hall at 9:28 a.m. A female resident was in the shower when an unidentified male opened the shower curtain and looked at her. The victim screamed and the male ran away. "She got out of the shower with a towel wrapped around her and saw that he was still standing in the bathroom with his pants unzipped," said Foster. When the victim screamed again, the male ran out of the bathroom. The perpetrator is described as a white male with "brown clean cut, short hair." According to the second vicitim, he was wearing brown shorts and a white shirt at the time of the second incident Foster said that an investigation is ongoing, but that ASU Police "[doesn't] have much to go on except the partial descriptions from the victims." "People have become complacent. They think crime can't happen here, especially at ASU. Crime can ,and does, happen here," said Foster. "This campus is one of the safest around, [but] people need to make sure to take precautions to keep themselves safe." According to Brad Reid, Director of Housing, several security measures had been implemented to prevent such incidents from happening. "We installed high-level security screens on all ground-accessible windows and entrances as well as card readers at each hall entrance," he said. Currently, ID card readers are activated at 9 p.m. each night and turn off at 7 a.m. This prevents people without the ID card of a resident from entering a particular building. "A lot of times security and convenience don't mix. Students some­ times think security measures are a pain," said Scott Ranger, Assistant Director of Residence Life. "Right now we are see "Peeping Tom" page 2 ASU Crime Report shows decline Del Holston Staff Wrter Criminal activity is down signifi­ cantly at Appalachian State University, ac­ cording to the 1996 crime report compiled by University Police. Compared to years past, the crime rate on campus has declined considerably. Ac­ cording to the report, only one burglary inci­ dent was reported between Jan. 1 and July 31 of this year, down from 14 incidents in 1995 and 24 in 1994. "Students seem to be more aware," said University Police Capt. Larry Foster. "Students will leave their doors unlocked and visit a friend down the hall. This invites a thief to enter the students' room and take what they can." Motor vehicle theft has decreased 50 percent so far this year. A few vehicles were stolen in years past, but Foster explained that they were retrieved. One crime that has increased since last year is aggravated assault. There have been seven reported incidents so far this year, up from five in 1995, but no arrests have been made so far. INCIDENCES Foster ad­ dressed this prob­ lem by explaining CRIMINAL HOMICIDE that the victims in SEX OFFENCE, these cases usually FORCIBLE "choose not to file SEX OFFENSE, a complaint or press NONFORCIBLE charges" against the assailant.

She was later moved to Charlotte Medical Center for further treat­ ment. Cindy Thun Staff Wrter On the afternoon of Aug. 24, senior Jennifer Clontz, a member of Kappa Delta so­ rority, was rescued from the waters of the Elk River. Clontz apparently broke both ankles after diving 55 feet from the top of Elk River. Friends of Clontz who were at the scene rec­ ognized she was injured and pulled her from the water. The Avery County EMS, the Avery County Rescue Squad, the Elk Park Fire De­ partment, and the Linville Central Rescue Squad responded to the accident. Clontz was "There are no signs at [Elk River] falls indicating for people not to jump." -Officer Jenny Davis U.S. Forest Service Clontz is reported to have incurred nerve and tendon damage in her legs as a re­ sult of the accident. According to friends, Clontz had Tl jumped from the falls before. Officer Jenny Davis of the U.S. Forest Service says jump­ ing from the falls is common. "People often jump," she said. "There are no signs at the falls indicating for people not to jump. There is inherent risk in every natural feature, and individuals assume the risks when they choose to jump from any natural feature." Along with members of Kappa Delta, Davis expressed hope that people will learn from the accident, and no longer jump from the falls. Almost every Greek organization at Appalachian has shown support for Clontz by sending cards and flowers. Some are in the process of organizing fund-raisers to help with hospital bills. Identification Cards Get Facelift The card itself will look very differ­ ent. The front of the card will feature a digi­ tized picture of the student. Rapp says the digi­ tization process helps curb the high cost of taking individual photographs. Jennifer Sharpe Staff Wrter The back of the card will have two Students looking for an ex­ cuse to get a new ID picture taken are in for a treat. The card will also have debit capa­ bilities and will also serve as an optional MCI long distance calling card. "The basic functionality of the card will not change," Rapp said. "We're simply attempting to add additional features with po­ tential advantages." Although the exact processs by which students will have their ID cards remade has not yet been finalized, Rapp expects that freshmen will be given the first opportunity, with sophomores, new students and upperclassmen to fol­ low. Starting in October, stu­ dents will get the opportunity to up­ grade their ID card to the new "AppCard Plus," a collaboration be­ tween Appalachian State University and BB&T Bank. According to A1 Rapp, vice chancellor of administration, the col­ laboration between ASU and BB&T came about as a way to help improve the financial aid refund process. Not all students will be re­ quired to get the new card, however. The old cards will remain in effect through the summer of 1997. "We didn't want to put se­ niors in the position of feeling forced to get a new card," Rapp said. According to Rapp, finan­ cial aid refunds can be transmitted electronically into students' accounts under the new system. He also says it may be possible for students to make tuition payments with the new card. "To cut a check costs the university a lot of money," Rapp said. magnetic strips. The first strip will perform all of the current functions of a student ID. The second strip will allow students who bank through BB&T to use it as a conventional bank card. Staring in fallof 1997, students will be required to obtain the new card whether they bank with BB&T or not. Officials from BB&T and MCI are expected to be on cam­ pus next fall to explain their new services. Ritchie Vinesett signs the roll at the Pi Kappa Alpha during rush on Tuesdtt in the student union.

The Appalachian fairness, Accuracy and Public Service since 1934 y i r Opinion.. Safety is no joke Here at The Appalachian, we've noticed a dis­ cing trend in students' attitude toward safety.

This event offers students a jm reminder of the possibility that they could be|ine the victim of a crime. (beginning Students need to take a serious look at their own ,fety levels especially in light of the "Peeping Tom" icidents which occured recently in White and Lovill ills. The Town of Boone is small. We acknowledge iat. The thing students must realize is that the size [atown doesn't dictate the behavior of its residents, ist because a person lives in a small town doesn ,ean that they are less likely to commit a crime. In (t) we agree that the college environment can falitate and encourage crime. It is easy to hear that crime on-campus is down id think that you are safe. The fact that any crime ccurs at Appalachian should make students more ireful. Whether one incident occurs or 10 do, crime iould be taken seriously by everyone. Think about all the times someone you know has .ft their car or dorm room unlocked. Does the fact bat they're in Boone mean they are less likely to ecome a victim? We think not. Time and time again, we've seen women walkig or jogging alone at night. This is not a safe way i travel after dark. "I will always encourage people, ale or female, to walk in at least pairs at night," id Captain Larry Foster of the ASU Police Departent. Students seem to have a naive view of campus fe.

We encourage you to take advantage of the blue hts all over campus. These have phones attached them which directly connect to ASU Police. If you er see suspicious activity, report it. If you feel reatened or unsafe, report that too. If you lose your ID card, report it to the ID Cen i or ASU Police immediately. If you live on-cam lis anyone who finds your card can gain access to 3i residence hall. Along the same lines, if you seyour room key, report it to ASU Police and Resi tnce Life. The last thing anyone needs is for a ranger to gain access to their room. Safety is no joke. It shouldn't be an inconveence to you to do whatever it takes to keep yourilf safe. Peace of mind is one thing and apathy is lother. Opinion War cannot for a single minute be separated from politics." - Mao Tse-tung Helms is the right choice On Sunday, August 25, North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms visited the High Country to speak to area Republicans about his campaign to defeat Harvey Gantt for the second time in two elections. After enjoying a delicious barbeque meal, Sena­ tor Helms took the podium to make his address. Helms, his voice soft and invigorating, spoke about the necessity of ridding this nation of liberals in Con­ gress whose habits of massive spending has plagued America with a miserable state of debt. Helms is exactly correct. For some strange rea­ son, the minds of liberals contain the warped ideol­ ogy that Americans should not be entitled to keep their own money. Jesse Helms is running against a man ___ who believes that raising taxes was fun in Charlotte, so heck, why not do it to the en­ tire nation? According to the Washington based Tax Foundation, the average taxpayer in 1995 worked from January 1 until May 6 to satisfy the revenue demands of federal, state, and local governments. That means for the average American family, money made on the job between Janu­ ary 1 and May 6 of any year must be paid in taxes. They let you keep what you earn from May 7 until December 31. Obviously, this is simply too much. Senator Jesse Helms has been fighting for lower taxes and the passage of a Balanced Budget Amend­ ment since the mid-seventies, and if there were fewer liberals in Congress who have lied to their constitu­ ents about cutting excessive debt, America would be much better off today. By reelecting Jesse Helms, we will send a clear and unequivocal message to the disciples of Harvey Gantt and other liberals that North Carolina will not elect a man or woman who can smile, raise our taxes, spend our money, and then repeat the entire cycle all over again. Helms also spoke about another fallacy with the federal government: excessive overregulation. Ex­ cessive government regulation today is vast in scope and staggering in its impact, both on individuals and on the US economy According to a report from Viewpoint by Aaron McKethan Columnist the Heritage Foundation, Americans spend between $600 and $700 billion a year just complying with rules and regulations written by the federal govern­ ment. If you don't think the size of the government is too big, consider this: subside to the new value system of militant femi­ nism and radical homosexual groups. He represents hope to those of us who are ada­ mant about balancing the budget to ensure a posi­ tive future for our children and grandchildren. Harvey Gantt and his ideas of higher taxes, an elevated role of government in the lives of Ameri­ cans, and more and more unnecessary spending are proven failures. If Harvey Gantt wins this fall, we will have elected a proponent of the radical liberal methodologies of Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton, whose views de­ rive from the most recent poll on the evening news. If you are new at Appalachian, or have other­ wise been asleep, Jesse Helms was invited to speak at commencement ceremonies last semester. Although Harvey Gantt was invited and spoke as a candidate running against Sena­ tor Helms in 1990 here at ASU, a few un­ fortunate liberals decided that free speech, outlined in the First Amendment, was in­ tended to be enjoyed exclusively by liber­ als. It was my wish that a few of those open-minded liberals would have come to the barbeque dinner to hear about Sena­ tor Helms's agenda. Perhaps they could have even had their picture made with him. A Jesse Helms victory in 1996 will signify a dagger in the already bleeding heart of social and fiscal liberalism. There are 66 words in the Lord's Prayer. There are 286 words in the Gettysburg Address. There are 1,322 words in the Declaration of Inde­ pendence. There are 26,911 words in the federal government regulations regarding the sale of cabbage. Clearly, overregulation burdens America by un­ necessarily and enormously increasing the cost of doing business and hiring workers, which results in fewer jobs and lower salaries while making U.S. com­ panies less competitive in world markets. If elected, will Harvey Gantt take drastic mea­ sures to curb the growing adverse effects that overregulation makes on Americans? According to Jesse Helms and to Harvey Gantt's political past, the an­ swer is no. I was proud to attend the speech made by Sena­ tor Helms last week. He is a blessed assurance that our sacred reliance on conservative values will not After all, Senator Helms is very knowlegeable of the Constitution. So with his generous spirit, maybe Senator Helms would have shared the importance of the element of free speech for the certain liberals that did not understand last semester. Unfortu­ nately however, no liberals showed up. Or maybe liberals were present and the eloquent words of Jesse Helms quickly transformed them to repent their pre­ vious ways. This fall, don't vote for Harvey Gantt because your best friend's mother-in-law said she once met him and she liked his hair. Do your homework and you'll realize that al­ though Jesse is old and he doesn't play the saxophone, he is usually right. Jesse Helms victory in 1996 will signify a dagger in the already bleeding heart of social and fiscal lib­ eralism. I don't know about you, but that would cer­ tainly make me smile.

Off-cam­ pus or on, it costs too much money to get a healthy, filling meal. Boone is saturated with fast food places which are saturated with high-priced fat. Where's a person to go? An answer to this problem exists at the Univer­ sity of Maryland. They have a food co-op. Owned and operated by students and ex-students, Maryland's food co-op was started more than twenty years ago, against the wishes of local businesses, food contrac­ tors inside the University, and many administrators. It was quite a struggle to get it all together. But once accomplished it was soon apparent that it had filled a major void. Lines are continuously out the door, and the place is always hopping with students, faculty, and local patrons. The major attraction of the idea of a food co-op is that it's a non-profit affair. Students work in the sandwich line for an hour, get a free lunch, and go on with their day. The food is always fresh, usually organic, healthy, and the proportions are enormous! They aren't trying to make a profit. A typical sandwich for me, when I was there, consisted of fresh, home-baked, whole wheat bread, humus, real cheese, an assortment of organic veggies, and various condiments. General price: $1.50! This was a huge sandwich! Now, prices may have gone up since the last time I ate there, but the cost of living is lower in Boone, so I think the price could still hold. Sodas, fruit juices, milk, yogurt, organic style chips and munchies, fruit, and a wide range of other food items were also available. All at cost. All cho­ sen by students, for students, and priced to suit our limited budgets. Aside from the obvious benefits to health and all of our finances, a food co-op also provides an excel­ lent way to learn about business, ownership, man­ agement, and civic responsibility. At Maryland, the co-op quickly became a focal point for positive community activism, and a pleas­ ant gathering place as well. Many group houses bought their food in bulk there, which generated even more opportunities for students to learn and join in community activities. Students tired of the limited, costly, and un­ healthy variety of food services available in Boone should consider the potential benefits of a studentowned and operated co-op. Action taken on this is­ sue could result in a major improvement in our lives. Keep the playing fields level Here we are again, another election year, an­ other topic. And what's a good election without the topiq of affirmative action? It's like that line out of Casablanca - maybe not today and maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of the campaign you're going to hear about this issue. Well, now it's my turn to hop up on the soapbox and toss in my two cents. Since the very first day of the civil rights move­ ment the message put in front of us has been equal­ ity, equality, equality! The reality, however, happens to be that our society is throwing that concept out the door. Think about it for a minute before you start chucking bricks through my window. Nothing is said when an organization is made to further only a minority. Point in fact, the United Negro College Fund. What would happen if there My turn by Danny Sink Columnist was a United Caucasian College Fund? It would be targeted as a racist, bigoted, group of white suprema­ cists. That doesn't sound like equality to me. Now don't get me wrong, I don't hold any ill will toward anyone for their sex, race, religion, or sexual preference. All I want to know is how this affirma­ tive action plan leads to equality! How is equality served when a man with a high level of education and a good work standard is de­ nied a job because he's the wrong color. I'm sorry, but I thought that the civil rights movement was all about ending discrimination on the basis of color. If that's true, then it stands not only for the minorities, but also for the majority. Now I'm not saying that white people are better than blacks, Hispanics, or Native Americans, etc. Why? Because it's not true. I'm certainly no George Washington Carver or Martin Luther King. If a minority is more suited for the position, then by all means let him have it. By the same token, however, if the non-minority person is more qualified, then don't take it from him be­ cause of the color of his skin. If equality is what we please see Fields page 6 �The Appalachian 5 September 1996 Pa? Opinion 'V Fields continued from page 5 are really striving for, then we have to look past the color of skin to the things that make a person suc­ cessful (reliability, self-respect, self-worth, and work ethic). It all boils down to this: for equality to be achieved we have to stop acting like one group (the whites) are the guardians of our society, and the mi­ norities are the children that cannot possibly achieve the same level of respect and success without the help of their superiors. Equality is only served when a person has to reach his full potential to win the prize. If a minority receives a job or a scholarship because of his color and not because of his skills and qualifications, then those people are not being helped, but degraded. The minorities are being told by society that we realize they can't accomplish the same things the majority can, so we'll spot you a few points. m m NflGN&N/ENfGNCGUf&Nte K5 NtG WG MAS NtGNt&NKSr mN£& NftJ- Nftr MS NCff ^Letters to the editor "Liberal" article overblown the true focus of this presidential campaign. Instead of making asinine assumptions and blowing hot air, Ryan should be devoting his time to what really mat­ ters in politics today. "And if you claim to be openminded but absolutely refuse to listen to someone with a differing viewpoint than yours, you're" not a liberal. You are Ryan Price. To the Editor: After reading the August 27th article (if you could call it that) "Oh My Achy Bleeding Heart" by Ryan Price, I felt a mixture of disgust and amusement. Ryan, who incorrectly described himself as "an openminded independent" actually showed himself to be judgmental and closed-minded by lumping together not only members of a large and diverse political party, but many others who are not only not cardcarrying liberals but have very little to do with the Democratic party. He implies that liberals are not educated in that they are unfamiliar with the Consti­ tution, and that they are self-contradictory, such as wearing leather products while being for animal rights. This is amusing in itself, seeing as how Ryan was as self-contradictory in his article as he was ac­ cusing his liberals to be. In his condescending manner, Ryan makes over­ blown, sweeping comments that indicate that those who support welfare want people to leech off of the system, that abortion and the death penalty are iden­ tical issues, and that a person's stance on school prayer indicates what she/he feels about condom dis­ tribution in schools. He insults the intelligence of his readers, especially that of freshmen, implying that being a freshman means not knowing the differences between liberals and conservatives. I think one of the problems in politics today is the fact that too many of the politicians and so-called journalists are more interested in mud-slinging and name-calling than the political issues that should be Miellyn Fitzwater ASU Box 17293 Got an opinion?

Money really doesn't grow on trees and that phe- nomenon is not going to start occurring just because you are paying college tu­ ition. Every cent counts, especially if it adds up to dollars. And though many of us feel we need full time jobs to be in college, the effort does add up to one thing. The money used toward a college education should be worth the investment in the long run, but it sure helps when it's not coming from your pocket. Jennifer E Whitlow knows this very well. So when Beta Gamma Sigma Inter­ national Honor Society in Business awarded her a $1,000 scholarship, she wasn't about to turn it down. Being able to support yourself for school is a very strong characteristic," said the Burlington resident. For Whitlow, however, that wouldn't be the only one. As an accounting major in the College of Business, Whitlow was in the upper 7 per­ cent of her junior class. It doesn't take a genius to figure out why the Beta Gamma Sigma sorority wanted her inducted. Membership is not just handed to anyone. Consider the 300,000 students who receive bachelor's or master's degrees in business each year. Now consider the 15,000 who actually get inducted. "I got invited to be in it because I met the quali­ fications," Whitlow said. Sure, and then some, She and 49 o t h e r winners were chosen based academic on their me n ts, achieveleadership and community service activities. Don't go around expecting this sorority to be throwing any keg parties soon, however. "It's not a social sorority, it's a business sorority," Whitlow explained. 'There is a one time fee and once you are accepted you're ac­ cepted for life." After being inducted into the Beta Whitlow Gamma Sigma sorority last spring, Whit­ low was given the scholarship application. With the help of Jackie Walters, scholar­ ship coordinator through the College of Business, Whitlow had been awarded as 1996-97 scholarship recipient by late April. That is what's called finishing off the semester with a bang. And not to men­ tion, making a little history on the side. Whitlow became Appalachian's first recipi­ ent of the Beta Gamma Sigma scholarship. "It felt great," Whitlow said. "I was sur­ prised." Apparently, she's had a lot of surprises. Take in mind her academic scholarship, the Carroll Weather Goods Scholarship, and her scholarship to study abroad in England and Scotland, to name a few. Behind every successful individual is a successful inspiration, a guiding light, you could say. Forget the soap opera. I'm talking about a real hero like Harriette Whidow, because you can't get much more heroic then a loving mother. "My mother is the one who supports me," the senior said. "She played an im­ portant role in helping me keep my GPA up. I come from a divorced family and I got scholarships and financial aid to help support myself through college. I think it's important to pay ydur way and not your parents." What parental figure wouldn't love to hear that come from their college student's mouth? Whitlow is one more of the 375,000 reasons why Beta Gamma Sigma claims they're comprised of "the brightest and best business leaders." D-GENERATI0N DEGENERATES The hills are alive... '©/ Matt Bielejeski Sara LeWinter review Reporter Reporter On their latest offering, No Lunch (Co­ lumbia), D Generation sounds like they're playing so they can eat a decent meal. They sound like the offspring of The Cure and the Ramones. They have the Cure's dark, depressing lyrics (and looks) along with the Ramones guitar styling and crunchy, fast rhythms. Track four, "Capital Offender," seems like the ultimate Generation-X whine along. He complains about not being on a gold card list, expresses his desire for a home in Hollywood, and basically says that everyone with money is out to get him. "No Way Out" is one of the best tracks on the CD, but continues the trend of whining and complaining. Just the title, "No Way Out" prepares you for their moaning about being oppressed by soci­ ety.

Alice In Chains have done just this on Unplugged (Columbia). They have been perhaps the most ardent purveyors of all things acoustic since they released Sap, their first acoustic EP which is, in this writer's opinion, their finest mo­ ment on record. But, from what I under­ stand, they have been approached by MTV to do an Unplugged since the Dirt days and have turned them consis­ down tently. Why now, after compiling a formidable acous­ tic repertoire, would these Se­ attle rockers decide to abandon the com­ fortable confines of a studio to put on a frankly lackluster show featuring a brief view of their acoustic work and a few out of place bone-crushers? It's sad to say, but it seems as though AIC is losing something in their music. There used to be a potency to every song on every album they've done. This show fails to capture them at their peak. The performances of some of their best acous­ tic material comes of as shallow and inef­ fective, particularly on "No Excuses." Some of the best moments from the past are overlooked, as well. Where is "Am I Inside" or "Rotten Apple"? Why not any­ thing from Facelift? I'm sure "Bleed the Freak" would've worked in this scenario. "Rain When I Die" could've worked with a slight rearrangement. "Shame In You" would have added a nice touch. Not "Sludge Factory." Not "Angry Chair." Defi­ nitely not "Would?". Unlike the last great Unplugged, from Nirvana, Alice In Chains chose their songs poorly. When they get the steam going in the right places, though, AIC does give the scariest reminder of that performance from Nirvana. The passion is there and they play their heart out on (al­ most) all of the songs. "Nutshell", "Down in a Hole" and "Over Now" are done defini­ tively here. AIC are the kings of dark and somber. Another, not so pleasant, similarity to Nirvana's Un­ plugged is the eerie finality of the al­ bum. I've got the oddest feeling about Lane Staley. He looks like he's on the road to being rock's next casualty The signs are there, folks, figure 'em cut on your own. No tours. Break up rumors. Widely publicized drug habits. Is he mim­ icking Kurt Cobain's tragic end or is it just coincidence? I hope we never have to answer that question. 1 think my biggest gripe is as an AIC fan. Ever since Sap, I've anticipated those post-album, acoustic EP's chock full of wonderful new material. This time I got stuck with twelve left-overs and only one new song, "Killer is Me." There better be another album or EP soon. This isn't enough to last for two more years.

The Wake Forest-ASU game has turned into an al­ most ritual for many students. Like in I past years, many of the students that loaded up into their cars and drove the | almost two hour drive to Winston-Salem were expecting to come home in victory. Instead there was a lot of head shak­ ing late Thursday night and into Friday morning. The team had been pumped, the crowd was too, and then, well then the game was played. The story was re­ ever • *' * told in the stunned and bewildered faces of the students who didn't go to the game. myself had to tell more than one per­ son the score two or three times for it to sink in. Then the bi8ger question came. Why? There were several factors added in. There was the turnover problem that was talked about a lot, but it played sec­ ond fiddle to the predominant answer, the calls or lack thereof them. Now it s like one of my professors says, You can't have meaningful conver­ sation without first identifying your bi­ ases. Makes, sense. So why don't we get that out of the way? I admit, I'm a big ASU fan (like I'm going to pay a chunk of change this big to go to a college I don't even like). It s not like I'm alone, there's ,oh, a few thousand other screaming App fans around this place. I think by halftime everyone on the visitors side of Groves Stadium was ready to mob the boys in the black and white stripes. Hi m Well, I'm one of those guys that just climbed up on a Mountaineers back way loves to talk about sports, that's why I'm before the ball arrived.

Maybe part of it is because I wanted to see App win the game, but even if that does play a part in it you can't deny it was very poorly called. Now I can hear some of you now, "If was really that poorly officiated then why haven't the players or the coaches said something?" Well, they can't. That's right, they can't say this call stunk or that the officials did a poor job. Why not? Well catch the next issue of 'The Appalachian" when we address why the NCAA puts the gag rule on coaches and players. After Thursday night's game at Wake Forest the Appalachian State Mountain­ eers must know all too weir what it feels like to have victory slip through their fin­ ger tips. After all, it happened to the Moun­ taineers not once, not twice, but five times during the 19-13 loss to the Demon Dea­ cons. Appalachian turned the ball over a total of four times. Three of their drops were recovered by Wake, one on an er­ rant Gerard Hardy pass that looked like it hit wide open cornerback Reggie Austin right between the numbers. Yet it was not as though Appalachian didn't receive its fair share of gifts from the Deacons. Wake also turned the ball over twice in the second half. Unfortu­ nately, the ever-so-kind Mountaineers gave it right back each time. The fumblitis hit the Apps right from the get-go, however. After forcing Wake to go three-and-out on the opening series, Appalachian punt returner Desmond Adams, a freshman from Salisbury, N.C., dropped Tripp Moore's punt at the Appa­ lachian 40-yard line to give the Deacons possession once again. And, just like last time, Wake went three-and-out and was forced to punt only this time Moore's punt was wisely left to roll out of bounds at the App 10-yard line. After going three-and-out on their first possession, the Mountaineers were able to block a field goal attempt by Wake's Bill Hollows and go eighty yards on the ensuing drive which ended with a 46-yard touchdown run by senior Damon Scott of Cedar Grove, N.C. to put App up 7-0, the score which stood until the end of the first quarter. It was during the second period of play that Wake came back behind Hol­ lows' foot, Quarterback Brian Kuklick's arm and the running of John Lewis. On their first drive of the quarter the Demon Deacons went 49 yards on 14 plays be­ fore putting three on the board to cut the App lead to four points. On their next possession Wake again drove into App territory deep enough for Hollows to cut the score to 7-6 Appalachian. On their final possession of the half the deadly Deacons struck gold with a five play, 60 yard drive in just over two minutes that ended up with Kuklick running the ball into the end zone to put Wake up 13-7 at see WAKE on page 10 Lady Spikers win 49ers shut out Mountaineers • women's soccer team opens third season with loss weekend series Brian Porter Staff Writer The Appalachian State Women's volball team competed in the first ever ike Forest Tournament on Saturday, ike Forest, Coastal Carolina, and mpbell also played in the inaugural irnament. The Mountaineers played Wake Forand Campbell in the opening round the tournament. In their game with ke Forest, which the first ever for the ly Deacons, the Apps won 3-1. Against Campbell the Mountaineers n edged out wins in the first and sec1 game before going on to win the third ne for the match, 15-8. The team re­ ded a total of 37 kills and 10 blocks. Mountaineers were led by sopho- more Paula Levay of Mt. Pleasant, S.C. who recorded 14 kills and two blocks. Junior Cindy Kolomechuk of Waynesville, N.C. had a game high 29 assists for the Mountaineers. In the title game, the Lady Spikers faced Coastal Carolina. The Chanticleers eliminated Appalachian in four games (15-7, 13-15, 15-12, 15-5) .This loss dropped the Lady Apps record to 3-1. The team had a total of 52 kills and 6 blocks. Kolomechuk added 33 assists for the Mountaineers. Sophomore Stephanie Young , of Advance, N.C., had 12 kills and a tean high 21 digs for the Mountaineeers. The loss put Appalachain's record at 2-1 for the weekend series and made them the tournament runner-up. Jun­ ior Jennifer Rumfeldt of Miami, Fla., and senior April Sorrells of Hendersonville, N.C. were named to the All-Tournament Team. Nick Berry Staff Writer The women's soccer team opened up their 1996-97 season with a game against UNC-Charlotte, perhaps a game they would rather forget. Being outplayed on all facets of the game, the Lady Moun­ taineers were out shot 32 to three and lost 4-0 in their first game of the season. Playing in front of a crowd of about 250, the 49ers, last year's Conference USA Tournament champion, got four goals from four different women, scor­ • Mountaineers tie game in final seconds but still lose to Flames Staff Writer Rumfeldt as expected, Coach Tracy Davis believed the game was, "A good learning experi­ ence", and thought the girls learned a lot about what it takes to win as a team and how they need to improve their lack-lus­ ter performance on defense. Coach Tracy Davis and her Lady Mountaineers will next play at home on September fourth against L£noir-Rhyne. The home field advantage, along with having their first game of the season un­ der their belt is what Coach Davis is hop­ ing will propel the Mountaineers to their first win of the season. The Lady Apps also have home matches coming up against South Carolina, Charleston South­ ern and UT-Chattanooga Flames torch Apps in OT David Jackson Sorrells ing two in each period. UNC-Charlotte was never really threatened by the Moun­ taineers as they only produced two shots on goal. Defense was the key for the 49ers who kept the ball mainly on the Moun­ taineers end of the field. Senior Kelley Guinn of Atlanta, Ga., the goalie for Appalachian, played fairly well in goal saving seven shots under con­ stant pressure from the 49ers offense. The offense, or lack thereof, for Appalachian, was led by senior Beth Erickson of Clemmons, N.C., sophomore Allison Osborne of Raleigh, N.C., and junior Becky Neal of Kernersville, N.C., who ac­ counted for all three shots. Although the game did not turn out As the dust settled on the Liberty soccer field Saturday afternoon, Appala­ chian State Head Soccer Coach Art Rex saw his men's soccer team turn in a solid performance. Unfortunately, that perfor­ mance did not equal a Mountaineer vic­ tory, as the Liberty Flames handed the Apps a 2-1 overtime loss, in the season opener for both schools. Liberty took a 1-0 lead late in the sec­ ond half. With 40 seconds remaining in regulation, sophomore forward Mark Hemphill, of Asheville, N.C., netted his first goal of the season to even the score at one apiece. Nearly nine minutes into the overtime period, Liberty freshman Jared Trumbro booted a 15-yard shot past App goalie Chad Hawley of Cary, N.C., to put the Flames ahead for good. Hawley racked up 11 saves in goal as the App offense outshot the Flames 2422. "Our guys had a chance to win it," said Rex. "We just need to become more efficient in front of the goal." On Saturday afternoon, the Apps will take part in the Verbatim Invitational, in Davidson, N.C. "Competition in Davidson will be very competitive," said Rex. "Winthrop and Radford have very success­ ful programs in the Big South Conference, as did Liberty." The Mountaineers open up their home schedule against Southern Confer- , ence foe Georgia Southern on Friday, Sep­ tember 13th, at 5:30 p.m. at Kidd Brewer Stadium. The Mountaineers also have upcoming home matches against confer­ ence rivals Davidson and East Carolina. �The Appalachian 5 September 1996 Page Tobacco ads at the game on endangered list Darryl Stevens Sports Columnist You. Yeah, you, with the cigarette. You're one of the most recent and least-protected endangered species on Earth. But you know this. The rules on where and when you can smoke have gradually grown tighter and tighter, like those funny little traps called Mexican handcuffs that bind your fingers together. The harder you try to fight, the more you realize it's useless. One of President Clinton's recent slew of bills is about to protect the nation's youth from Joe Camel and his ilk. In less than two years, a series of tobacco restric­ tions are to be slapped on the industry. These restrictions include the banning of advertisements such as the famous Marlboro Man billboards and the Camel spreads in mags like Rolling Stone. Photo identification will have to be provided by any tobacco buyer under 27. This could go too far. One Appala­ chian State professor, speaking on the American government, remarked that our country originally meant for a cen­ tral government to provide the most basic services, like national security and a uniform currency. As we approach the third millineum, it seems as if someone is there to intrude on almost every as­ pect of our lives, ranging from who we choose to have personal relations with, to when we want to die (Dr. Kevorkian=villian?). A1 Gore's Democratic convention speech a week ago shows just how far contempt for tobacco has come. Chicago's United Center got quiet when Gore laid out his family's "shame" - the raising of tobacco for decades on their Carthage, Tenn. farm. Gore acknowl­ edged a day later that he continued to get annual checks from that farm, even after his sister's smoking-related death. This last brought tears to the eyes of some delegates. There is no shortage of similar sto­ ries around the world. Choosing when we want to die? Using tobacco is a simple (expensive) way to do just that. Let's not fool ourselves: tobacco is ad­ dictive, it is a slow killer, and the indus- Mountaineers lose in opener to Radford Chris Kinner Assistant Sports Editor The Appalachian State women's field hockey team opened their season at home Saturday, dropping a tightly contested match to Radford 1-0. The lone goal was scored with 21:05 remaining in the second half, when High­ lander Mandie Moore stroked one by Mountaineer goalie Kathryn Pearson. ASU had a chance to tie the game late in the second half, but Radford goalie Lindsay Watson put away senior Jennifer Broderick's effort. The game featured a great deal of defense. The Mountaineers shot on goal 19 times, the visitors only 10 times. How­ ever, the Apps committed nine penalties, more than twice as many as Radford. ASU drops to 0-1on the season. They will seek their first victory of 1996 when they face Virginia Tech, Sept. 8 in Blacksburg. The Apps next home game of the season will take place Sept. 12 against Wake Forest at Kidd Brewer Sta­ dium. try just loves young people. After all, new recruits are ALWAYS needed. USA Today reported on Aug. 26, "Al­ though the regulations prohibit tobaccobrand sponsorship of sporting events, to­ bacco companies could continue support­ ing such events provided that there is no direct link to specific tobacco products." The sponsorship ban, which takes place in 1998, applies to billboards at sporting events, and to sponsorship of teams, cars, and paraphernalia. It's hard to imagine the phasing-out of tobacco ads in motor sports. Anybody who has gone to watch a race, or flipped past on the telly, can't help but notice the number of advertisements. It's not just the commercials and billboards, either. Spec­ tators give the viewing audience and each other impromptu sales pitches, with tshirts, caps, and jackets. Even allowing that stadium sales booths and huge signs circling the tracks will disappear, who will stop fans from granting tobacco companies free TV ex­ posure when the cameras pan over the crowds? NASCAR isn't as dependent on to­ bacco sponsorship as it once was, so any regulations won't hurt badly. But the sweet leaf is as firmly embedded in the racing world as a tick on a dog's behind, and there could be some obvious changes, not the least of which would be The Win­ ston Cup, Jimmy Spencer's Smokin' Joe Ford and Robert Pressley's Skoal Bandit Chevy. Obviously, this is the most free coun­ try in the world in the ways that count. Yet we should keep our eyes on the ef­ fects of this impending tobacco-advertise­ ment regulation—it's more than it seems. Sound far-fetched? Look no further than Prohibition. Plenty of mistakes have been made by states throughout history, in the name of that all-time pat on the head: WE KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU.

For the rest of the third quarter the two teams drove on each other but never got into scoring range so the rhird period ended with the Apps down by three. It was during the final 15 minutes that App gave die ball and game away to Wake. Hardy, the junior from Cramerton, N.C., from page 9 was picked off on the first play of the quar­ ter. That interception triggered a spree of turnovers by both teams which finally gave Wake the ball at the Appalachian17yard line where Hollows booted a 34 yard field goal to put the Deacons up 16-10. After another App fumble, Wake was able to put up three more on an 18 yard kick from Hollows that gave the Deacons nine point lead with under five minutes to go. Appalachian did put up one final drive which landed them a 29 yard field goal from Sutton but it proved to be to little to late as Wake held on for the 19-13 win. Afterward, Appalachian Head Coach Jerry Moore said that the team "hadn't fumbled the ball or turned it over at all" during fall camp. Moore went on to say that he was proud of the effort the Apps gave and that "there's a lot to those guys...theyTl bounce back." The Apps have had ten days to recover before facing Tennessee Tech, a team Moore called "one of the better I-AA schools." The two teams will meet for just the third time ever Saturday night in Boone. -=^h>SINCE X8S3E=^c==- '^1 Last year Kidd Brewer Stadium doubled as a construction site during football season (file photo).

All other students must have a inimum GPA of 2.25. Get in touch... Jason Yepko's role as Student Government Association vice president is over before it even began. On Aug. 14, Yepko resigned as SGA vice president. In his letter of resig­ nation, he stated he could not fulfill his obligation to the office. Appalachian State University's SGA Constitution states that the vice presi­ dent must be a junior. Yepko was three semester hours short of reaching that sta­ tus. Yepko said he plans to stay in­ volved with student government as much as possible and wants to help fulfill the platform goals that got him elected. Upon Yepko's resignation, SGA President Kaye Cranford appointed cabi­ net Chief of Staff Todd Poole as interim vice president. "I feel like I won the lottery, but I didn't buy a ticket," Poole said. The constitution states in the event the vice president can not fulfill his or her duties, the senate pro-tempore will take their place. Since the senate has not yet con­ vened for the fall, the president chooses a replacement, who must be approved by the senate with a two-thirds vote. Poole said he is excited about the upcoming year and plans to continue on 8-5 News and Sports: 262- 6233 Features and Editorials: 262- 3104 Business Office: 262-2157 Vanessa Urruela Editor-in-Chief 262-6149 with the platform set forth by Cranford and Yepko during the election. "When I informed Kaye of Jason's resignation, she gave serious consider­ ation to a replacement, and appointed a person with experience and the capabil­ ity to do an excellent job," said Dino DiBernardi, director of the Center for Stu­ dent Involvement and Leadership.

(Photo by Bethany Parrish) Del Holston Reporter A select group of incoming fresh­ men received a chance to help out the com­ munity and meet new people by volunteering to work in Boone on Aug. 20. Students spent three hours working at nine different volunteer stations, including the Habitat For Humanity. Head Start, Hu­ mane Society, Ram's Rack, Watauga Youth Network, Boone Library, Red Cross Blood Drive, Hospitality House and the Hunger Colaition. At the Habitat For Humanity, stu­ dents helped dig a 22-inch deep trench for electrical cables. "It feels good to be helping some­ one," said participant Jeremy Cox. Stacey Carter also helped dig the ditch. "We get to play in the mud and help people," she said. At the Humane Society, students walked and washed dogs. "They're mostly puppies, and they're so cute," said Lauren Hartog. "I want to take them all home." Students at the Watauga Youth Net­ work washed and vacuumed out the center's vans. "We're doing whatever they need us to do, basically," said Jennie Clark. The service projects were facilitated by Appalachian State University's fraterni­ ties and sororities. Cyrus Brown, senior and treasurer of the National Panhellenic Coun­ cil said he enjoyed helping out. "The service project is one of the many scopes of the organization," he said. Christin Hambacher, senior and rush counselor, said she wanted to do "something positive" and to promote fraternities and so­ rorities. She said she also enjoyed helping freshmen meet each other.

East Hall became the site of one of the worst reported cases of fleas in Appalachian State University history over the summer. Fleas were brought into the dorm by at least one cat, which some third floor residents kept in their rooms over the summer. According to Rick Geis, director of Residence Life, the identities of the stu­ dents housing the cats and the number of actual animals are still unknown. Once the students' identities are confirmed, disciplinary actions will be taken, he said. East Hall Resident Director Heather Kilmer said the Resident Assis­ tants may have inadvertently acted as hosts when they entered the rooms after the rooms had been cleared, and the eggs had hatched. The fleas spread onto other floors and into many of its public spaces. "This is just one example that shows that there are reasons for [Resi­ dence Hall] policies, and how a small pet can effect a lot of people," Kilmer said. Although students set flea bombs to kill the oests. thev were unable to kill the flea eggs. The problem was quickly realized by the residence staff and all of the RAs in East were quarantined from RA train­ ing until it was determined that they no longer carried any of the pests. An exterminator was called in on Aug. 12 to fumigate the rooms where people were known to have been after the eggs hatched. There were still fleas in the building the next morning, so Residence Life asked the exterminator to return and spray again. Kilmer said that there have only been two reported cases of fleas in the building since the semester began. Al­ though they were minor cases, the rooms were fumigated as a preventative mea­ sure. Geis said that several rooms in Cannon were sprayed to prevent further spreading of the fleas. No other dorms have been fumigated. Geis estimated the cost of the fu­ migation to be between $400 and $700.

I say sensible because I want to differenti­ ate between the Appalachian football fans and the droves of motorists who pour into the area for the changing of the leaves. If somebody could find a way to make maple leaves stay green all year round we could get rid of half the traffic in this town. For the rest of us football is the main draw, and what a spectacle it is. Every Saturday we get a chance to see drunkards in the middle of the day, a rare sight even in a college town. The stadium lights stay on nightly, confounding the efforts of astronomy students on the roof of Rankin who are trying to get a decent glimpse of the Megellanic cloud. I suppose the lights are equally annoying for the residents of the fifth floor of Gardner who have to be in bed by 9:00 p.m. Also, everything from banners on the field house balcony to the men's room stall scrawl proclaims sup­ port for the "Apps", whatever that is. Last I checked, our team's moniker was the "Mountaineers" but I never see it used anywhere. I guess that's too hard for some people to spell. Oh yeah, there's also the game itself. Not just anyone can play it either. NoSiree. This is a Division I-AA team and that means that to play you have to have all four limbs and be able to read a player's jersey number without mov­ ing your lips. You even have to take the SAT test if you want to trot out on our astro-turf. If that's not selective, I don't know what is. Of course, not everyone who tries makes it. There's always going to be those poor souls who have aspired to wear the black and gold but just couldn't cut the mustard (you can ask your granddaddy what that means). I've always been a sucker for the under dog so I decided to find out a little about those recruits that almost made the cut. Here's a few who almost had the privilege of being called Apps, er, I mean Mountaineers: Jimmy Hambiskit, tight end from Mud Dinner, Ala. Doesn't know the meaning of the word quit, not to mention many other words. Insists on playing without a helmet but can't remember why. Once tried to tackle himself and succeeded. Sam Suitenluggage, running back from Cold Cheese, Wis. Once failed a drug test from eating too much paste in art class. Has an unexplainable fear of goal posts. Current tiddly-wink champion at the state sanitarium in Kenosha where he will be staying for quite a while. Eric Cariboo, offensive tackle from Budlite, Ga. Likes to wrestle bulls in his spare time. Was respon­ sible for south Georgia's worst famine in recorded history when he refused to leave Hairy-Larry's Cat­ fish House on all-you-can-eat night. Once swallowed a whole cat. Melvin Assault, defensive guard from Chicken Scent, Ark. Only high school player known to have literally sacked a quarterback (that is, he carried him away screaming in a sack). Arrested for stealing his line coach's car to help his grandmother break out of jail. Once bit off a referee's ear. Bruce Hairmousse, loose end from Fanbelt, Mich. Often complains that his pads make his butt look big. Annoys coaching staff with ideas for using choreog­ raphy in line formations. Owns a Calvin Klein jock strap. Sally Nuisance, linebacker from Secessionville, SC. Most tackles of any female (and I use the term loosely) football player in the Palmetto state. Insisted on using the same locker room as her male team­ mates (all of whom inexplicably took vows of celi­ bacy soon after). Now being considered by the Cita­ del. There you have it. Those were some of the bet­ ter ones too. Unfortunately, some of these talented players won't be going to college at all. It's better this way though; some of these players sound a little scary. And when our offensive line starts using cho­ reography I'm leaving. Unfinished beverage. A prospective Mountaineer football player pauses for refreshment.

Students were also able to party down and dance to the music being pumped out by a DJ. " The block party was the bomb ! It was a great way for people to mingle together and get to know each other," said freshman David Jackson. Freshmen also saw some of the ne­ cessities of college life. Students learned quickly that an I.D. card is very handy on campus (especially when you're hungry). Registration for classes was also held for those late arrivals and those who needed to adjust their schedule. "Regis­ tration was hectic. It really put a lot of pressure on us. I was glad when it was over, " said freshman Katherine Bean. The final event of the evening was the big welcome back dance. The dance was held at Legends. Upon entering, stu­ dents were greeted with a nightclub at­ mosphere of lights and dance music. While some students sat back and relaxed, others went out and got down to the music on stage. The week opened up a lot of oppor­ tunities for many people. Some met new friends or were reunited with old acquain­ tances, but for all, it was a week to be remembered.

According to Chairrson Dr. Susan Cole, this season should an exciting one. The season will open with "The Shoot? of Dan McGrew," an annual one-man esentation by Wayne Clawson, director Planned Giving. "McGrew" will be perrmed Sept. 13 and 14 at 8:00 in Valborg ieater. The show, which focuses on the life d poetry of Scotsman Robert Service, is scribed by Cole as an array of both any, narrative poetry of the Klondike d more serious work about Service s /olvement in World War I.

The tables are turned in Neil Simon s nale version of "The Odd Couple, rich focuses on the comedic differences Florence Ungar and Olive Madison. Six >men and two men have been cast in is role-reversal, directed by Linda ddon. . Senior Trish Sheridan, president o national dramatic honor society Alpha Psi Omega, feels this production is a highlight of the season. "I love that we're having more [plays for] women," she said. "The Odd Couple" will be presented in the Valborg Theater at 8:00 p.m. Oct. 2-6. At least three student-written, pro­ duced and directed plays will be presented at the annual Playcrafters' New Play Fes­ tival Nov. 14-16 at 8:00 p.m. in the Greer Arena. Scripts are read and voted on by Playcrafters members, and all plays se­ lected are completely produced by club members. "It's always neat to see what students can produce on their own," Sheridan said. Auditions for the New Play Festival will be held in late September in Chapell Wil­ son, room 128. Auditions for 'J.B.," a theatrical ad­ aptation of the Biblical book of Job, will be held Sept. 3 and 4 at 7:00 p.m. in Greer Arena. "J.B.' should produce an audience that doesn't usually come to the theater, especially philosophy and religion ma­ jors," Sheridan said. 'J.B." will run Nov. 20-24 at 8:00 p.m. in the Valborg Theatre. Other projects for the fall season in­ clude a children's show by the Appala­ chian Young People's Theatre, "In the Be­ ginning," which will be performed Oct. 11 at 7:00 p.m. and Oct. 12 and 13 at 2:00 p.m. A series of six one-act, student-di­ rected plays, will run Oct. 24-26 at 8:00 p.m. Both shows will be held at Greer Arena. Anyone interested in auditioning for any production should prepare a oneminute monologue. However, Cole says that this should not stop anyone interested in trying out. Material is also provided at the audition. "We're always happy to take people," see Theatre page 6 1. Ramen noodles 2. Spaghetti 3. Soup 4. Bananas 5. Store-brand cereals 6. Tuna fish 7. Crackers 8.

They have the privilege of being some of the cool kids from Seattle, but they have really just tagged along. They have been the band that people say they have heard in order to gain ac­ ceptance into Generation X. More often they are skipped over in the S section of the record store to get to Smashing Pump­ kins. "Dust" (on Epic Records), their latest release, will not slap you in the face. You won't find yourself being forced by the power of rock to get up and dance, get up and plug in your air guitar, or even get up.

For many App players and support­ ers, last year's second round playoff loss t0 Stephen F. Austin seemed like a night­ marish end to what had been a dream season. ' Indeed, it may be hard for this year's squad to equal last year's team, which posted a record-setting 11-0 record in the regular season and remained the secondranked team in the country un­ til their playoff loss which knocked their untarnished record down to Taking a walk on the real side c0ld 12-1. Darryl Stevens Sports Columnist "Our players...have worked hard and know what they want" But this i f ' ' year's squad looks not so much to equal last year's team as they do to pick up where they left off. Just look at the team's motto "Unfinshed Business," which seems to refer to the Apps' unfinished playoff busi­ ness coming off a year when they were expected to be playing for the national championship. Head Coach Jerry Moore says, "Our ilayers here have always had a great atti­ tude, and this team is no exception." Moore said this year's team has worked lard in the pre-season and "know what they want." The 1996 edition returns 54 lettermen, 16 of whom were starters last year. The most prominent of these return­ ees is All-Conference, Ail-American I-AA defensive player of the year Dexter Toakley of Mt. Pleasant, S.C. Lining up alongside Coakley at linebacker is fellow senior and All-Conference selection Joe DiBernardo of Miami, Fla. Coakley and Coach Jerry Moore Head Coach looks on as the Apps tune up for Wake Forest in an intra-squad scrimmage. (Photo by Robert Parriott) DiBernardo lead a group of veteran line­ backers that includes six more lettermen. The same cannot be said of the line­ men and secondary for the Apps. The Mountaineers have just one returning starter on the defensive line and none in the secondary. Still, Coach Moore is opti­ mistic about these areas. Senior Marvin Hodge of Raleigh, N.C., moves from line­ backer to defensive back to give some ex­ perience to a mostly inexperienced unit. On the defensive line, junior tackle Jackie Avery of Garner, N.C., leads eight other players who lettered last season. On offense, playmakers like Scott Satterfield of Hillsborough, N.C. and Aldwin Lance of Shallotte, N.C. are out and junior Gerard Hardy of Cramerton, N.C. and senior Damon Scott of Cedar Grove, N.C., are in. At quarterback, Hardy will be backed up by junior Babe Baker of Kinston, N.C. The back-up running back spot is being contested by a number of players including freshmen Desmond Adams of Salisbury, N.C., senior Cubeya Woods of Statesville, N.C. and freshman Mike Jones of Blountville, Tenn. The rest of the offense features virtu­ ally the same cast as last year's explosive bunch. The Mountaineers have both start­ ing receivers back along with two other lettermen. At tight end senior Jeff Vollmer of Longboat Key, Fla. and sophomore Frank Leatherwood of Clyde, N.C., should again split time in the starting lineup. All five starters from last year, including AllAmerican senior Scott Kadlub of Palm Harbor, Fla. return to this year's offensive line, making it the most seasoned group on the team. On special teams, seniors Allen Guinn of Laurinburg, N.C. and Jay Sutton of Wingate, N.C. return to the punting and kicking positions, respectively. Also re­ turning is senior long snapper Lance Ware of Shelby, N.C. Coach Moore says that expectations in the Mountaineer camp "are as high or higher than a year ago." For Appalachian, the chance of realizing those expectations will begin Thursday at Wake Forest. Charlotte, N.C.), the lady spikers had an extremely strong regular season in which they won the conference title. Many people looked for ASU to sweep through the conference tournament, but the Apps were stunned by the Eagles of Georgia Southern in the first round, putting a quiet end to what had been an exciting season for the team. This year fans will see quite a few new faces on the court. With six freshmen (Ginger Douglas of Marietta, Ga., Dawn Hinchy of Raleigh, N.C., Ann Leedy of Eaton, Ohio, Lori Schott of High Point, N.C., Bo Shealton of Fairview, N.C., and Nicole Thompson of Charlotte, N.C.), two sophomores (Paula Levay of Mt. Pleasant, S.C. and Stephanie Young of Advance, N.C.), two juniors (Cindy Kolomechuk of Waynesville, N.C. and Jennifer Rumfeldt of Miami, Fla.), and two seniors (Miriam Sealey of Charlotte, N.C. and April Sorrells of Hendersonville, N.C.) ASU has a fairly young team, and more than one person has raised a cynical eye at Appalachian's chances this season. "I have been impressed widr the fresh­ men," said Coach Markland. "The key for us, as it is for any team, is to stay injuryfree." With tentative plans to start all six returnees from last year, an injury to an experienced player could really hurt this team. "Last year's team was ahead of this year's team at this point in the year," said Markland. "The key is to see where we are in November." "There is still some inconsistency, as with any young team," said Markland. "If the team focuses on improving there could be something special at the end of the year." What could that "something special" be? Perhaps a regular season or tourna­ ment title. Only time will tell with this young lady spiker team. In any case, it should be a very exciting and interesting season in volleyball. Lady Spikers ready for season Danny Sink Reporter The Appalachian Lady Spikers have been giving their fans a lot to cheer about in the last five years, winning at least the tegular season or Southern Conference tournament title in each. Last year was no exception.

(Photo by Karen Waiters) The world of sports is as much a fantasyland as Alice or Dorothy ever Ireamed of visiting. Only in sports are men and women dolized for what they can do with their jodies. You've never seen a construction worker or a grocery stock clerk or a main enance man signing autographs. Only in sports do otherwise ordinary rumans expect to be paid before they set oot in the workplace. Rookie running back Lawrence Phillips accepted a contract from the St. louis Rams which pays no signing bonus. The fact that Phillips won't receive a dime jntil the first paycheck of the regular sea ;on is a surprising exception to the rule. Highly-regarded rookies of every proessional sport have become accustom to huge contracts. Holdouts are common place. Draftees keep themselves out training camp and pre-season contests, trying to scrape a few more dollars out ol ranchises (truthfully, agents have mor to do with this than we hear). The ath etes usually get those extra bucks, mak ng themselves a little richer, and maki: the team poorer because they've misse important days and weeks with the •nates. The accomplished athlete should ex pect those bonuses and perks. It's compa table to the treatment that an experienced >usinessperson gets after years of doing le job well. But most of us don't get a $100 bill ust for showing up on the first day at the tew job. There's no bonus waiting be­ muse we have "potential," or because of what we did at the last place of employ­ ment It could be time for the unproven ath ete to click those heels together and wake up to the reality the rest of us face. Phillips has to feel lucky. He's kept quiet about his unusual contract. After all, he's had three or four strikes against tiim by now - more than some people get n life. Basketball talent Richie Parker, who admitted to forcing a girl to perform ora sex while he was a prep star, was black railed from the schools that wanted him >o badly. Alumni and women's groups applied enough heat to the rear ends of ihose universities to make them pause in heir recruitment. Now Parker is cooling >ff at a junior college out west, hoping or the winds of forgiveness to refresh his ireams. Should Parker get that second diance? The girl he and his friend viclimized won't live another day without remembering. Should Phillips continue :o brush off his past, the way he might ;hrug off tacklers? In general, people are forgiving souls. Americans in particular tend to give sec and chances to people who have "done wrong." But not always. Americans are >o fickle about just who is forgiven and sn't. Just consider what you feel when you ihink of OJ. Simpson. Or Dwight Gooden, Darryl Strawberry, and Steve Howe. Or Mike Tyson.

So what happens when a normal Joe s convicted of a crime? It would be laugh tble to suggest that society stop him from naming a living after the punishment is pven (although some employers and citi zens would like nothing more). There's no real way to know who will be reprieved by the great American pub ic, in sports or in life. Unfortunately, most }f our views of what's "right" and "wrong" ire molded by the media - yet television, tewspapers, computers and radio have become our gods of information, the ulti­ mate catch-22. �The Appalachian 27 Page 10 gusti Men's soccer kicks into action David Jackson Reporter When Head Coach Art Rex leads his men's soccer team to Liberty on Saturday afternoon, he hopes that a summer of hard work begins to translate into a winning season. The App kickers finished last year's campaign 9-10 overall, posting a 43 mark in Southern Conference play. The Mountaineers struggled away from Boone, winning only two of 11 matches on the road. However, the Apps posted a spot­ less 6-0 record on the home turf. The Mountaineers enter the1996 sea­ son with a relatively young team. Twentyone of the 25 roster players are freshmen and sophomores. Gone from last year's team is leading scorer Jay Lane of King, N.C., who recorded 10 goals on 55 shots. Also gone is netkeeper Jason Hockstra of Raleigh, N.C. who took part in four shut­ outs between the posts, notching 74 saves, and allowing 26 goals. Of the returning players, Coach Rex (in. his 16th season at Appalachian) will look for leadership from his three All-Con­ ference veterans. Those include senior defenseman Kevin TUrner, of Allison Park, Pa., and sophomore forwards Mark Hemphill of Ashville, N.C., and Naoshi Yamauchi of Chapel Hill, N.C. Turner recieved All- Conference honors the past three seasons, as well as All- Conference Tournament honors for the past two years. As for newcomers to the team, look for West Virginia University transfer Jer­ emy Marsh of Tallahassee, Fla. to make a contribution as well as freshman Wes Miller of Jamestown, N.C., Will Phipps of Greensboro, N.C., and Mark Rapp of Rich­ mond, Va. With conference strongholds Davidson, Furman, and Georgia Southern looking to field competitive teams again this season, the Apps hope that a solid team chemistry will help set them above the rest. "Chemistry is what can make a good team great," says Rex. 'The return­ ers have been accepting of the newcom­ ers, and everything seems to be going good so far. We just want to get things settled during the season, vie for the con­ ference championship, and prepare for the conference tournament." The season gets underway for the Mountaineers Saturday at Liberty. The Apps open up the home schedule on Sept. 13, at 5:30 p.m. against Georgia South­ ern. 1996 Men's Soccer Schedule Women's Soccer Schedule Three could be charm for women's soccer • Team hopeful for successful third season "Injuries really hurt us last year.

This year's team is Last year's team looked like a composed of nine sophmores, four juniors, doctor's nightmare, with injuries seriously and three seniors along with the new hurting the team. There were times when freshmen. there were only 16 players in the rotation. The team was set back slightly with the injury to sophomore Allison Wahl of Greensboro, N.C., one of the two netminders, who split goalkeeping duties last year. She will be out the whole season, and senior Kelly Guinn of Atlanta, Ga. will take over all of the goaltending duties this year. Junior Becky Neal of Kernersville, N.C. is making her comeback from the serious injury of a torn A.C.L. and is looking to be 100 percent very soon. Coach Tracy Davis and first year assistant Lendra Dodge will guide the team through a difficult 1996 schedule. The team starts off with three road matches with their first game at UNCCharlotte before they return to Boone for their first home game against South Carolina on Sept.11. "We look to be a very strong team this year. We are very focused, fit and are ready to play," said Davis. T HE STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME ALL STUDENTS BACK TO CAMPUS!

This is the situation that the 1996 Appalachian State football team finds itself in, as Don Power's Cita­ del team and other foes seek to claim the Mountaineers' "top dog" status. ASU must first tackle three out-of-conference opponents, however. The Mountaineers open the season Thursday night in WinstonSalem, facing Wake Forest's De­ mon Deacons. The Apps must avoid the second half defensive let­ down that nearly cost them the game in 1995. Wake Forest must adjust to life after Rusty LaRue, a transition that will be difficult to make. Appalachian's home opener takes place Sept. 7 against Tennes­ see Tech. The Golden Eagles are in the process of rebuilding, but their pass-happy offense should test the Mountaineers' revamped secondary. ASU next travels to Eastern Kentucky after a week of rest Sept. 21. The matchup will feature two teams ranked in the top 10 of the NCAA Div. I-AA football poll in 1996. Last season, the Colonels' offense averaged 390 yards per game, 223 of which came on the ground. The Mountaineers return to Boone Sept. 28 for Family Week­ end. They will open their South­ ern Conference schedule against The Citadel. ASU will once again have to defend a potent rushing attack. Appalachian edged the Bulldogs 28-24 in 1995's regular season finale. The Mountaineers will hit the road again for a battle with the Buccaneers of East Tennessee State Oct. 5. ETSU has an experienced squad and should prove to be a difficult opponent for the Apps. ASU defeated the Bucs 30-23 last season. Furman's Paladins charge into town Oct. 12. Furman is still a young team but always seems to play Appalachian down to the wire. ASU must negate the effec­ tiveness of Paladin quarterback Braniff Bonaventure and limit the production of a solid running game. Appalachian travels to Statesboro Oct. 19 to face Georgia Southern. The Eagles advanced to the second round of last season's I-AA playoffs behind the rushing of returning starter Charles Bostick. The Mountaineers play the game that could very well deter­ mine the Southern Conference championship Oct. 26 in Boone. ASU will renew its fierce rivalry with Marshall's Thundering Herd Quarterback quandry Nick Berry Sports Columnist Two years ago you made him your number one draft pick with hopes of rebuilding a team that was lacking a consistent quarter­ back. Now at the beginning of the 1996-97 season, you demote your star pick, Heath Shuler, to backup, along with his astronomical salary. My first question is, why? Shuler is the man you paid two million dollars for. Not even Steve Young made that much as a backup for Joe Montana. This is only his second year, and he ended the first year on a high note. When comparing starter Gus Frerotte to Shuler, there is no contest when it comes to physical ability. Shuler has the raw talents to be a super­ star and one more year under his belt, and could add much needed poise and confidence to his re­ sume. Heath Shuler has travelled a tough road since entering the NFL. During his rookie year, he learned the hard way about the difference between college and the pros. The first half of the season portrayed a quarterback who lacked confi­ dence, poise, and the ability to throw the ball down the field. In stepped Gus Frerotte, and the fifth-round selection looked like a 10-year veteran. After lead­ ing the 'Skins to victories over the Cowboys and Colts, the quarter­ back struggled and things began to go sour. Back in the lineup was Shuler, who finally showed that he might have the talent to be "the guy." Although injuries set him back, Shuler was finally starting to hit his stride. As spring training rolled around, it looked as if Shuler might get the starting nod, al­ though Frerotte was the sentimen­ tal favorite. Even though both had good training camps, head coach Norv Turner gave the starting nod to Gus Frerotte. With that decision, I could come to only one conclusion: the Redskins must either be really rich or really impatient. They pay their starter $198,000 and their backup two million.

UT-C's Moccasins will be without the services of 1995 team rushing leader Marrio Greer, who was taken in the NFL draft. The Mountaineers are gunning for their eighth consecutive victory over the Mocs. ASU and Western Carolina do battle in Cullowhee Nov. 16. Ap­ palachian sloshed past the Cata­ mounts 28-3 during heavy snow and rain in last year's contest. The Keydets of Virginia Mili­ tary march into Boone Nov. 23 led by Thomas Haskins, who rushed for 1,548 yards and scored 17 touchdowns in 1995. The Moun­ taineers look to perform well in their regular season finale as they prepare for another run at a na­ tional championship in 1996. of losing his job or having to capi­ talize on every drive, I guarantee he will show the skills that made him a star at Tennessee. Frerotte is a good quarterback and everyone knows what he can do. Shuler can be great but needs a little time. By giving Shuler a year, the front office can accurately assess Shuler, and not feel like they didn't give him a chance to pro­ duce. The Redskins want to win and want to win now, but if they do not give Shuler a chance, Wash­ ington could be throwing away a possible pro-bowl quarterback. The Redskins have had tough luck with their past draft picks, but must believe their decisions will pay off. Give Shuler a chance; you have far more to lose by relegat­ ing him to the bench. in The Appalachian classifieds for roommates, merchandise, announcements and services.

The efforts of the force found Appa­ lachian State was in direct violation of the Act due to its posting of grades by social security number. Although grades can still be posted, the Federal Department of Education said a student's social security number is not a permissable means. Instead, professors must formulate a code or random number for each individual, in order to ensure their privacy. Registrar Brooks McLeod said the pri­ vacy issue will become more of a factor in com­ ing days. He said, "With the type of technol­ ogy that is occurring and will occur, people will become more and more concerned." McLeod said the Administrative Cabinet passed the revised policy on April 24 and the changes will go into effect this semes­ ter. He also added that confirmation to print the policy and send a copy to every faculty and staff member has been approved and will in­ clude a letter urging them to contact the registrar's office if there is any question regard­ ing privacy. With the addition of-the TRS system, the same system students use to register, the opportunity to get grades is even more acces­ sible, because the system allows students to call and inquire about their final grade in their courses. McLeod said, "As long as the grade information is received by the registrar's office by three o'clock, it will be posted by the next morning." Problems may occur for those who desire to see their final exam grade, because time conflicts may prevent students from in­ quiring about their grades with their profes­ sors in person. Instead, they will have to rely on the TRS system. With numerous classes exceeding 100 students, difficulties may occur for depart­ ments such as the Biology Department. "Per­ sonally 1 think it is wonderful," said Dr. Will­ iam Dobson of the Biology Department. "I haven't been posting grades by student num­ bers for years. I generate a unique number for each student and post grades by it." Dr. Nina-Jo Moore, of the Commu­ nication Department, approved of the new changes. "It does not bother me at all," she said. • She further added that it is her be­ lief that Appalachian is one of the last univer­ sities in the North Carolina system to imple­ ment such actions. "I feel that the change is good be­ cause it complies with the law," said Junior Jeremy D. Keever. He also said he does not believe there will be any hindrance in receiv­ ing grades. Sophomore J. Ryan Marks agrees that the change is appropriate. He said, "I do not have a problem with it. I feel it is for our ben­ efit." ;GA cabinet set for SGA passes the gavel lext school year Cabinet will meet later this veek to plan for next year •te Cagle jws Editor E. Kaye Cranford and Jason C.

The win­ ner receives money the contestants have raised from companies who supported them. "The pageant is called Miss Black Cul­ ture but it is not restricted to African Ameri­ cans," said DeAnna C. Foust, 1995's Miss Black Culture. "Any girl of freshman through junior status is eligible to participate in the pageant." Alston said contestants were judged on their answers to impromptu questions, tal­ ent, interview and poise. Foust said the contestants raised enough money this year for all to share in the prize. There were seven contestants in this year's pageant. They were Shana N. DeShazo, Karen Y. Clemmons, Crystal C. Alford, Deborah D. Bivins, Felicia F. Fluid, Meyetta S. Grimes and Alston. This year's other winners were Crys­ tal C. Alford, who won second place and the titles of Miss Congeniality and Miss Entrepre­ neur. Alford is a junior from Charlotte who is Ih£ majoring in communications. Felicia F. Fluid was the first runnerup in the pageant. She is a junior from Char­ lotte majoring in English. Miss Black Culture and Miss Conge­ niality were the only recognized winners in past competitions but this year a first runnerup and second place winner were added. Miss Entrepreneur is another title added, which is given to the female who raised the most money. "The girls work really hard to get sponsors," said Foust. "In the past the person who raised the most money has not been rec­ ognized, so it is nice to see that this year she will be get the recognition she deserves." Alston's duties as Miss Black Culture include planning the next pageant, hosting Kwanzaa and representing the African-Ameri­ can woman. "It means a lot to me," said Alston. "It means 1 should always exemplify the char­ acteristics of the African-American woman of the 90s." Index Page 4...Editorials. College is Office Hours: more than just books.

College more than just books Thanks for the memories.... It seems that the older we get, the faster the years go by. We on the staff of The Appalachian must be - older than dirt, because this year has flown by faster j than we could possibly have imagined. Today is the last day of classes, and the last issue of The Appalachian for the year, as well. Next year's staff has a challenge ahead of them, but we know they will live up to that challenge...or die trying. Much of the staff for 1996-'97 will be new, as a - majority of this year's staff will graduate. Those of us who are taking our leave would like to take one • last opportunity to thank all who helped get our pa«• per to press every Hiesday and Thursday. Of course this applies to every facet of our staff, from photog­ raphers to ad salespeople to production staff to writ­ ers. But it goes beyond the obvious, as well. We would have had nothing to write about all year with­ out people calling us to tell us what was happening on campus and in the community. The input from the Letters to the Editor has been greatly appreci­ ated, too. And then there are those who have provided not only story ideas, but hours of entertainment. We give an extra special thank you to the following: The entire SGA cabinet John Nolte Jane Helm * Clyde Robbins Andrew George Both SGA tickets BEAR NOW B-GLAD The Guerilla Grrrls Without all these people, we would have had no laughs throughout the course of the year. And all work and no play makes for a very boring paper. In all seriousness, though, we do appreciate ev­ eryone who took the time to give us their input, whether we agreed with it or not. We hope the ma­ jority of the campus felt that we were an unbiased source of information regarding campus issues, be­ cause we know we cannot please all the people all the time. Again, good luck to next year's staff, good luck to all the returning students, and thank you all for a wonderful year. JoU* V L The Appalachian is published every Hiesday and Thursday of the academic year with the exception of selected holidays and breaks. The Appalachian welcomes letters to the editor.

A AH Memories i John Lane Managing Editor After five years of college at two different universi­ ties, I have finally narrowed down the meaning of college to one, all-encompassing word: T-shirts. Before all my readers (whether they think I am a real person or, as one Letter to the Editor accused, I am a cre­ ation of The Appalachian staff to humor the rest of cam­ pus) begin to think, "this is going to be a weak analogy," let me go ahead and prove it for you. The analogy is, "Tshirts are the mementos of the college experience, which is much more important than any set curricula." For example, my dresser drawers and closet are over­ running with T-shirts that, every time I wear them, make me think of a specific event that changed or enriched my life. The majority of those shirts boast two fraternity let­ ters, which alone signify the greatest factor of my life be­ sides birth. (By the way, for those of you who think that Greeks buy their friends, I will have you know I am a proud member of Sigma Nu who have the highest dues on cam­ pus so I pay damn good money to have the best friends around.) But stick with me here even if you are one of those people, because after all our growth in college, we all re­ spect everyone's opinions and ideals (right Mr. George?). Not only do I have shirts that represent beer swilling times of date functions, but I also have shirts that advertise the companies who helped us raise money for the American Cancer Society as my brothers and I ran the first football game of every season's gameball from Appalachian to Wake Forest for the past 11 years. One of those include three names to which the ninth annual run was dedicated... three of my brothers who were taken tragically in a car accident a month before their graduation two years ago. Others on campus may be really into music, so they have seen Phish nine times and The Connells a few million times over and have bought a T-shirt every time around. Those shirts don't just tell others what kind of music you are in to, but they probably also remind the bearer of the experience of each individual show... who they went with, something special that was said by the lead singer in be­ tween songs that became your philosophy on life or the John Nolte Columnist This school year has been long. And what a year it has been: saw my first streaker this year. He ran right across the street to his cheering friends. Never being an altar boy or a congressional page, it was my first glimpse of a grown man without his clothes on. Do you know the price of a parking deck? Yeah, I think it's called convenience and actually getting the space you paid a lot of money for. Naturally, opponents warn this will increase smog in the area. As though hundreds of frustrated students driving aimlessly in the futile pursuit of a space isn't doing the same thing. I see Chernobyl is making the news again. Ahh, the price of socialism. Susan Sarandon finally won a well deserved Oscar this year. Well, I'm happy for her. But, if she and Tim Robbins are so concerned with violence and women's is­ sues, why would they employ an admitted wife abuser like Sean Penn? The bumper sticker of the year is, "If I Had a Ham­ mer... I'd Kill Folk Singers." It appears as though the Unabomber may have finally been caught.

He hates the government, except the branch that delivers his packages. He despises the lum­ ber industry, except those that provided the material for his cabin. Most environmentalists aren't terrorists, but he sure has their double-standards down cold. An admitted molestor of 240 children confessed that, if released, he would kill a child and requested to remain incarcerated. Yet the ACLU, which I think stands for the American Criminal Lovers Union instead of the American Civil Liberties Union, has vowed to fight this. The fact that the ACLU will fight for anyone's right to "choose" what they want to do with their body, except an individual wish­ ing to be restrained from raping and murdering one of our nation's children, should tell you all you need to know about this organization. I will not be voting for Jesse Helms because of his veiled threat to President Clinton regarding a visit to Fort Bragg last year. Though I loathe Clinton as much as he loathes the miliary, (unless it's located on bases in the del­ egate rich California) he is still the President and that of­ fice deserves respect. However, Mr. Helms should've been allowed to speak here. But, using coercion, intimidation, and threats of upsetting a solemn hard earned graduation, the very first right guaranteed by the Constitution, was denied to an American citizen, as was the right of peaceful assembly by those who wished to hear him speak. Democratic candi­ date Harvey Gantt's 1990 commencement speech proves that Helms' visit was not a precedent, and that extremist groups lied when they said it was. But, I'm glad this hap­ pened. You may have won the battle, but by showing yo1 true face you're closer to losing the war, because there an unease on this campus today. Good people have f instinctual knowledge that certain freedoms are not to I abridged and now feel that something went amiss last wee Somehow a minority, with the non-too-surprising help some faculty members, managed to control what the re of us would be allowed to hear. Thankfully, we know who you are, and today we a wary of your causes, intentions and integrity. We wond what it is that makes you so insecure. We wonder wh kind of professors would fight to limit free speech and leaJ ing. We wonder, now that you've tasted blood, who's ne: and hope it is not us, because you protested to keep hi from speaking, not because he was speaking, and that the fine line. The saddest news this year was the recent suicide1 one of our classmates. My deepest condolences to 1 friends and family. It's been a while since I was 19, bu remember that it's a scary age full of insecurities and dou And to be honest, things don't change much at my age, I've never tried to portray myself as wiser than any you, because a 30-year-old college sophomore who's abc to drop out shouldn't be offering advice. But, would yi believe me if I told you it's true when they say, "This t shall pass," ? Life is tough.

It truly is experiences, not necessarily curricula that makes college the learning experience that it is. A teacher over the last four semesters, though he has not provided any T-shirts, has exemplified this philoso­ phy. No names need be mentioned because I am sure that if you think about it, you have a professor of the same caliber. He has taught me as much about life as he has the subject matter, opening my eyes to many options when I have gone in with preconceived notions on a topic. Fur­ ther, (as all experiences must be a two-way street) he has always been open to listen to ideas of my own on subjects which he might have been less open to, and provide me with his experiences on the matter to enhance my own iJ » Columnist The Department of English needs to seriously consider their current approach toward academic ad- ^a visement for BS English/Secondary Education majors. The present policy (if you can even call it that) is unclear, communication to the students is lacking and current advisement is impersonal and understaffed. When a student enters the BS English pro­ gram, he/she receives no welcome or notifica­ tion of advisement whatsoever from the De­ partment of English. The General Bulletin sim­ ply states, "The student is expected to work closely with the English Education advisor in fulfilling the degree requirements." Whom to _____ see of where to go for this advisement is not explained. The required checklist for BS English majors is no help either. It is outdated and refers students to Dr. Gene Miller who does not even advise students anymore. Thus, students immediately feel confused, unimportant and all alone upon entering the program. The Department of English needs to establish a way of communicating advisement information to BS students. This lack of communication between BS students and the English Department does not seem to be a problem with other English degree-seekers. The BA majors have a bul­ letin board with their advisor's name and important in­ structions posted. I went a whole semester without any advisement be­ fore I finally did something about it. After much waiting and wondering, I called the English Department. They said it was my responsibility to seek out Dr. Maharaj-Boggs or Dr. Vogel, whichever one I could find who had the time thing right. Some people did not even have a, icheckl because they didn't know how to obtain one.

However, Senator Helms has a legal right to uZ his views. Furthermore, because he holds such a powerful office, we, in our role as his constituents in a free Tracy, have a mora obligation to listen to those views, as we are ultimately responsible for placing him in office. Tike many self-proclaimed revolutionaries, Mr. George believes that individuals are not smart enough to think for lives. The suggestion that Dr. Borkowski should lose his job and be banished from the region for inviting an r j official to speak on campus is a dangerous transgression against democracy. Any attempt to silence people with rsial views goes against the very grain of higher education. T js worth noting that members of Earth First! have spoken at Appalachian. I support their right to do so, even h it is alleged that members of this organization have murdered loggers by spiking trees. Bad ideas need to be ^.cgd not suppressed.

A 31 >er of so-called "action"and "revolution" groups have 0peted this as some sort of victory for Appalachian's s of .jective voice. This stems from the fact that Helms, a °f Vrvative republican, has views that are judged by these amo '"""mips and others to be closed-minded and prejudiced. bbag How strange it is that these voices have demonstrated xpei sse same negative qualities by opposing Helm's schedtgshi ed speech. Make no mistake fellow students, this is no nthjdory. How can there be any progress or victory in showm m so blatantly the same ignorance, prejudice and closed'"So­ thinking that was supposedly being protested 3(/e lainst in the first place? If the argument is that Helms' views are flawed, then spond in a manner that shows the qualities you accuse jn of lacking. Listen to him quietly, applaud politely, then out pen and paper and respond to his misguided views lorganize a rally at an appropriate time. Later in life, ten you have attained a position as highly respected as 5 ?oufaor Helms, you too can speak at Appalachian's graduterei anyone else who saw fit to attack the Chancellor of Appa­ lachian and a member of the U.S. Senate. Instead of just promoting your beliefs, most of which I too support, you foolishly lash out at anyone who dares to have a different opinion. So, the revolution you seek is for tolerance, un­ derstanding, and equality; but only for certain people. That is not tolerance or understanding, and it is a far cry from equality. If you truly believed any of the rhetoric you so freely spewed, you would not impose this doublestandard on Senator Helms. No, you would listen, just as you are so intent on having everyone else do when you are the one speaking. We should all be ashamed and embarassed by this display. Then again, Mr. George and his supporters are right about one thing. Helms' speech that was supposed to be on international busines»(not on social issues) would have been a disaster. Their ignorance and intolerance would have made sure of that, not Senator Helms' lack of toler­ ance or Chancellor Borkowski's lack of insight. Helms is by no means perfect, but he should be speaking here on May 12, and we should be listening for a change. This includes you, Andrew George (co-president of Boone Environmental Action and Revolution), and We, here in Ecology 3302 in the Biology Department, are obligated to respond to John Nolte's profoundly igno­ rant article addressing ecological issues. We do recog­ nize that his ranting has more to do with sensationalism then science, but as educated people we can't allow utter stupidity to go unchecked. Although we want our state­ ments to be complete, due to lack of space, we won't be able to counter all of Mr. Nolte's erroneous writings. Contrary to Nolte's false information, our world popu­ lation is increasing exponentially. Approximately every 40 years the population doubles. The current world popu­ lation is 5.7 billion, in 40 years it is expected to be 11.4 billion. As population increases exponentially, so do com­ plex ecological problems. While it is true that world food supplies have increased dramatically in the past few de­ cades, recent evidence now shows that the rate of increase has fallen behind that of population growth. Our world food supplies are at an all time low. A recent Science article has shown, if no changes are made, that all avail­ able fresh water on this planet will be fully utilized by humans in 40 years. By ignoring the consequences of population growth humans doom themselves to serious water and food shortages. It is obvious to anyone with a science education that humans need to make better use of their resources. Re­ cycling and reuse are waste reduction strategies that help conserve natural resources. Making paper from recycled fibers requires 60 percent less energy than does manu­ facturing from newly cut trees. In the U.S., recycled pa­ per saves four million trees and 7.4 million dollars a year in waste disposal costs. Recycling paper also alleviates water pollution created by paper mills. Recycling metal cans and plastics is also 90 percent more energy efficient then continually extracting these products from the earth. Nolte's comments about trees as sources of air pollu­ tion is, to put it simply, dead wrong. The hydrocarbons that come out of trees are not the same as the hydrocar­ bons that come out of cars. Increased smog and ozone pollution arise from cars and powerplants - not trees.

No. I was here W90, nobody spoke a peep. Did anyone have a com'lat for Charles Sanders when it was his time to speak?

Just to refresh ^ memory, the Chancellor's office is paid by the State \W 3 BULBS O NEW BULBS Department of Treasury, a government entity. As you read this, one might think I am a radical Re­ publican, but contrarily I am a registered Democrat and will remain one at least for the near future. I am not say­ ing Mr. George and his group should not be heard, I am saying the exact opposite, they should be heard. The prob­ lem lies in the fact that 19 people do not constitute a ma­ jority in a population of more than 38. There are over 12,000 students at Appalachian and I am sure the majority of our student body does not agree with Mr. George. You, sir, have forever darkened the memory of what is supposed to be one of the highlights of one's life - graduation from college. I hope you are satisfied with what you have "ac­ complished" and hope this is something you can put on your resume: "Stopped the right of free speech at Appala­ chian State University, Spring 1996. " Again, I believe it is a sad saga in our lives when we give in to such small special interest groups, so as to dis­ rupt the lives of others and live our lives in fear that some­ one may not like what we say, think, or do. We, as a soci­ ety, as a nation, as a people, have failed when we cannot believe in the First Amendment, giving us all the right of free speech, and fight for that privilege, not to censor it. I urge each and every person who reads this to respond to Andrew George the next time he gets up in front of a crowd to speak his mind. Try stopping him and view his reaction.

So dangerous, in fact, that if you were to drive by exposed waste at 65 mph, you could receive a lethal dose. This is not most people's idea of a clean energy source. Of course you can bury the thousands of resulting radio­ active barrels, but there are very few, if any, safe long term storage sites in America. Nevada has been selected for the first site, yet the state is vigorously fighting this project. Does Nolte think the entire state of Nevada is composed of eco-freaks? The problem is those crazy eco­ freaks don't want high level waste in their backyards or water supplies. Can you blame them ? Mr. Nolte cites a Science Magazine article reporting regrowth in a deforested Puerto Rican rainforest. Sure regrowth occurs, but a regenerating forest is not the same thing as an older mature forest. A 90 year old rainforest will consist of short-lived early successional plant species and their associated fauna. In contrast, mature rainforest will consist mainly of long-lived late successional species and a completely different animal population. Much of the biodiversity contained in tropical rainforests is lost to extinction during cutting and harvesting. So, even when the forests come back they're not the same as what ex isted before destruction. The cutting of tropical rainforests, where up to half of all species on Earth exist, must be viewed with alarm for those of us who are inter ested with biodiversity. Many of our drugs still come from natural products, and future drug production could be compromised by the unrelenting attack on these delicate ecosystems. We could go on and on refuting Nolte's ridiculous article. But, instead, we'd like to conclude by stating that journalists have a responsibility to get their facts right, and it is obvious Nolte did not. Secondly, recent polls show that 70 percent of Americans want stronger environmen­ tal laws, not weaker. Does this make 70 percent of Ameri­ cans eco-freaks? We think not. Dr. Matt Rowe's Ecology 3302 class Police behavior disturbs readers good description. We believe that that had to be the most absurd statement we've ever heard, especially coming from an authoritative figure. Amanda felt like asking him how close he dared to get to someone holding an auto­ matic assault weapon. Personally, we think that the information she gave him was more than what she could have given if she was dead. It is situations like these that make people's faith in the police deminish. They are supposed to take us seriously and thank us for the information we do have to offer them. We still think we made the right decision to report what happened, even though it was handled poorly. To the Editor: On the night of April 27th, four friends and I were walking back from Cascades Cafe after finding out it was closed. At the same time, the five of us saw two males, one of which was carrying a gun, walking around a build­ ing beside Plemmons. Nobody in their right mind would have done anything else but have run, and that is exactly what we did. We realized it could have just been a couple of kids playing with water guns, but nevertheless we reported it to the University Police. If something bad would have happened to somebody, we would have felt horrible about not telling anyone. Amanda gave the officer on the phone the best description she could, with help from the rest of us. The officer acted as if she was wasting his time. He said something to the effect of next time she called something like this in, be able to give a better descrip­ tion. After a few officers checked it out, the police called back. This time, he had the nerve to tell me next time this happens, to stay at a safe distance until she got a Krystal Blaylock ASU Box 21273 Jill Powell ASU Box 07923 College continued from page 4 day a page that makes up a story, different for each one of us, that all ends the same. Of the thousand or so pages that write the story of my life, luckily few are tragic, some are interesting and most are boring. Yet, squeezed on some of those pages is that party in 1983, the day my friend woke from her coma, the birth of my grandson, the first time I saw my wife and the day she agreed to marry me. It is the promise of another of these days that gets me out of bed. If given a magic wand, everyday would be the Fourth of July. The days spent in a lawnchair on grass so green, I'm the envy of the neighborhood, and under a sky so blue, clouds are too intimidated to dare cover the warm sun. The grill is smoking and from the garage an old radio broad­ casts a double-header. Night falls and the fireworks thun­ der as local kids run up and down with their sparklers. At bedtime, the heat of the day brings a thunderstorm, allow­ ing us to fall asleep to the sound of rain on the roof. There's been maybe five days like this in my life, but I wouldn't miss them for anything and I have faith a few more will come before the last page, making the bad days worth weathering.

Instead, I have gained a true education from the shar­ ing of views between people while blowing off "class work and staying up until 3 a.m. I have seen a T-shirt, as have most college students, that depicts two cartoon characters of various strips (Calvin and Hobbes, Beavis and Butthead, etc.) either drunk or passed out and carries the caption "College: the best five years [or six, or decade] of your life." While not everyone thinks drinking should be that important or even morally correct, the sentiment is right on. No where else are you actually expected to drink the marrow of experience from your colleagues and mentors as adamantly as in the time in college. As a graduating senior, I can only hope that everyone enjoys the same edu­ cation I have had... one which emphasizes the experience over the curricula.

The first album was basicaUy a tonguelashing to all the people in this (or any) countrv XA/Vin noorlo/1 11_ J try who needed to be called out: the federal government, the FBI, white supremacists, etc. On their second release, Evil Empire (Epic), the bile still seems present, but with a hint of hope. The main change on the second album is an obvious presence of personal and social commentary, as opposed to the political Page 9 1 conquers Empire speeches that adorned RATM's debut. The change not only makes the album less boring, but more accessible to audiences alienated by the group's political stance. Don't get the impression that RATM's poli­ tics have been flushed. Their only change in stance is a decidedly milder means to achieve their ends. On songs like the album's first single, "Bulls On Parade," De La Rocha throws out lines like "They rally 'round the family/ with pockets full of shells." RATM hasn't lost their flare for bringing up history's injustice's, such as this song's treatment of the U.S. government's relationship with Native Ameri­ cans. These guys aren't above biting the hands that feed them. "Vietnow" takes a good-na­ tured jab at commercial radio with lines like "Turn on the radio/Nah, f— it/Turn it off." "Wind Below" takes another charge to T.V magnates like General Electric, NBC, Disney and ABC. RATM gives the listener socially conscious commentary worth hearing on Evil Empire. Lines like "Ain't seen a brown skin man since their grandparents bought one" from "Down Rodeo" give the perspective of minorities in a predominately white neighborhood. "Roll Right" gives away its message with a loaded title that attacks conservative America. "Here come the hands on the leashes/The cross, the capital, the pale fami­ lies/The fear and the mouthpieces/The single sister lynch," De La Rocha screams in the soi g's refrain. Evil Empire's lyrical content isn't its only saving grace. Does anyone actually realize how talented the members of RATM are simply as musicians? The rhythm section of 1 im Bob on bass and Brad Wilk on drums put down a solid foundation with a steady groove. It's hard to get away from Bob's thumping, funky bass lines and Wilk"s thunderous drum work. Morello lays down riffs that sometimes resemble those of Jimmy Page, but mot y drops monstrous guitar parts and noises that have never been heard before. He mutates his instrument to the point that it doesn't even sound like a guitar. In 20 years, this guy wi! be looked back on as an innovator in the a! tentative" genre. Even if you're not partial to the rap/rock style, you're likely to be conquered by RATM's Evil Empire. They take the signature sound that they created on their debut, perfect it and make it more accessible. Evil Empire is worth hearing: it's aggressive enough to get you moving, and intelligent enough to make you think. NEED CASH?

Probably the biggest story here at Appa­ lachian was the winning machine that was the ASU football team. The squad went 11-0 in the regular season to win the Southern Con­ ference title. The season included wins over ACC rival Wake Forest and Southern Confer­ ence rival Marshall, both on the road. The squad took their undefeated slate into the I-AA playoffs as the number two seed. In the first round, ASU took down 15th seeded James Madison University, to give the team its first playoff victory since 1987 and make them the first team in North Carolina to ever go 120. Unfortunately, the Mountaineers were not able to keep their record untarnished in the loss column. On Dec. 2, the Apps ended their season at home with second round loss to the Lumberjacks of Stephen F. Austin, the same day that the men's basketball team played host to former coach Bobby Cremmins' Georgia Tech Yellowjackets and lost. Despite the loss, the 12-1 Mountaineers took home numerous post-season awards. Head Coach Jerry Moore was named South­ ern Conference Coach of the Year. Defensive back Dexter Coakley was named I-AA National Defensive Player of the Year along with taking home the same award in the Southern Con­ ference. And just recently former All-American Matt Stevens was taken in the third round of the NFL draft. Meanwhile the issue of whether or not the team will move up to division I-A is still being debated. Another ASU team that had a very suc­ cessful season, despite ending it with a loss, was the women's basketball squad. The Lady Apps set a school record for wins with 24 and went 17-0 in the Southern Conference win­ ning both the regular season and tournament titles despite playing for minuscule crowds at Varsity Gymnasium. But, like the football team, the women's basketball squad also ended an excellent sea­ son with defeat. The Lady Mountaineers went down in the first round of the NCAA tourna­ ment to fourth seeded Alabama 95-66. At the same time the women were win­ ning their way into the NCAA tournament, the men's squad was playing their way to an 8-20 record and a coaching change. Head Coach Tome Apke was released shortly after his team's second round loss to Western Carolina in the Southern Conference tournament. About a month later he was re­ placed with former assistant Buzz Peterson who was hired with the backing of basketball giants such as Michael Jordan and Dean Smith. All in all it was a great year for Appala­ chian athletics. Congratulations to all the Mountaineer sports teams and good luck next season.

Chad Yarbrough Reporter Two Appalachian State University ath­ letes, Vontrell Roundtree and Michelle Simmons, were recognized recently for the Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholars Award. This award is presented to athletes of color who exemplify academics and athletics by maintaining a 3.0 GPA and by being in­ volved in their respective communities. The Simmons winners in all sports were recently announced in the April18 edition of Black Issues in Higher Education. Roundtree was named to the First Team for Division I, with a cumulative GPA of 3.49 while majoring in Exercise Science. Receiv­ ing honorable mention was Michelle Simmons, who had a 3.05 GPA, also majoring in Exercise Science. Both are current members of the ASU women's track and field team. Congratula­ tions to both on receiving this national award and representing ASU. Roundtree Mike Daniels Sports Editor Sports Commentary Most sports fans can agree that there are basically four "major" professional sports in America: football, baseball, basketball and hockey. While racking my brains trying to find a topic to write about this weekend, it sud­ denly hit me as 1 flipped back and forth be­ tween a hockey game and a basketball game that I could write about that. Yes, the month of May can be good for reasons other than the end of the school year. For sports fans, it is a special treat since both the NHL and NBA playoffs get underway. Since I won't be here to do stories on who wins the championships of both of these sports, I thought that maybe I would at least give read­ ers a preview of what might happen. This season was interesting because both sports had teams set all-time records for wins. In the NBA, the Chicago Bulls became the first team to reach 70 wins and in the NHL, the Detroit Red Wings became the first squad to win 60. However, that doesn't mean that both of those teams will win their respective champi­ onships. Oti the other hand, it would also be foolish to put money against both winning some hardware. So, that's why I've decided to take the Bulls to win the NBA crown and the Philadelphia Flyers to take home Lord Stanley's cup. I'll start with the NBA since there are probably more basketball fans reading this than there are hockey lovers. The Bulls are without question, the team to beat in the NBA playoffs. They have put up an incredible regu­ lar season, and look to continue that trend with Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen both healthy and Dennis Rodman off of suspension. Their biggest threat, besides injuries, is the Orlando Magic. You may remember that it was the Magic who put a stop to Jordan's Return, the U.S. tour last year in the second round. This year's Magic has been playing very strong heading into the post-season, and with Shaquille O'Neil, Penny Hardaway and the sharp-shooting Dennis Scott all peaking at the right time, the boys from the land of Disney seem like the only team capable of stopping the raging Bulls. But, alas, I think that they will fall just short due not to a lack of talent but because the Bulls team they will face-off with has just a little more post-season experience and mo­ tivation. The Western Conference is basically up for grabs. Any number of teams, including the Spurs and Sonics most notably, could win this conference. But don't look for whoever conquers the west to give the conference its third straight NBA crown. My prediction in the NBA Finals: Bulls-4, Western Conference goat-0. 1 For you few hockey fans living in this! deprivation tank known as the South, getr® to stare in disbelief.

Task Force for Child Care The Chancellor's Task Force to address campus child care needs has been charged with the responsibility of examining Child Care needs for the University Community and recommending options to meet these needs. The members of the task force recognize that Child Care facilities on campus support academic programs and provide direct services for families of faculty, staff, and students. The members of the task force are committed to examining, studying, and recommending options that will expand present services, recognizing the probability that the University will not be able to meet all the diverse needs that exist. The Alternative Transportation Committee of Appalachian State University met Monday, March 18, 1996. with the following members present: Dr. Harvard Ayers, Mr. Dino DiBernardi, Ms. Jane Helm, Dr. Nina-Jo Moore, mr. Dan Norris, Mr. David Ponder, Dr. A1 Rapp, Dr. Polly Trnavsky, Mr. Brett Walters, and Ms. Carrie Mangum. Vice Chancellor Helm responded that she was excited about the committee and felt that this was a good time for an Alternative Transportation Commit­ tee to be established. She said, "As construction projects continue to increase, more parking spaces are being lost. Although there are more parking spaces on campus than vehicles registered, they're not in locations where people want to park." She also mentioned that one of the more congested areas on campus is around Raley Hall, where it is proposed to build a parking deck. Ms. Helm reminded the committee that the Chancellor had indicated in his memo that if there are any capital improvements, fund sources should be identified in the committee's recommendation. She also suggested one area the committee might want to look at is the idea of having a campus shuttle that would supplement the AppalCart. A four-phase approach was suggested for the committee. The first phase would consist of collecting information. The committee approved a list of individuals it would like to meet with. The following are potential speakers: Dr. Clyde Robbins, Associate Vice Chanellor for Physical Operations; Dr. Harvard Ayers, chair of the Boone and Blowing Rock Transportation Committee; Mr. Jerry Haire, Boone planning officer; Mr. Chris Turner, AppalCart director; Mr. Roy Tugman, director of Public Safety/University Police; Hayes, Seay, Mattern & Mattern, parking consultants; Dr. Polly Trnavsky, chair of the Traffic Management and Safety Committee; Mr. If you wish to have input in this process and/or share ideas and suggestions Hunter Schofield, Boone Town Council; Mr. Don Holycross, Blowing Rock regarding the future direction of Campus Child Care, please do so by sending town manager; Mr. Raymond Magyar, UNCCH transportation planner; Mr. information to any member of the task force.

Club Sports Appalachian State University's Club Sports Program has grown tremen­ dously over the past few years. Interest and participation have helped boost the number of clubs to 14 for the 1995-96 school year. To keep the program growing we need continuing participation. Anyone interested is more than welcome to find out about the clubs currently established at ASU. Many new clubs have been initiated over the years by students who have an interest and willingness to compete with other athletes within their sport. If you are interested in the ASU Club Sports Program or have questions, please contact the Intramural and Club Sports Office at 262-2100. The following is a list of active clubs for the 1996-97 school year. Information about each club can be given to you by the club president.

Another idea presented was to restrict freshmen and other students who live within a two-mile perimeter from being permitted to have vehicles on campus. Dr. Rapp suggested that Mr. Roy Tugman, director of Public Safety/University Police, might be able to share past University experiences and to offer some answers to questions concerning parking. The committee discussed a proposed parking structure with Dr. Robbins saying that the structure would probably be two stories above the existing parking lot. The mid-level of the deck will be at road level so pedestrian traffic will be able to access the deck instead of having to walk around it. The Public Safety/University Police office would join the deck. The committee also discussed the congestion on College Street between the University Bookstore and Whitener Hall.

Due to the extended winter, grounds crews played catch-up last week, working over­ time to get the college back in shape for open house. "We're trying hard to make up for the really bad winter," said Clyde Robbins, associ­ ate vice chancellor of physical operations. But the cost of catching up is high, as Appalachian was forced to hire three outside landscaping companies, at a cost of $17,600, in order to complete the beautification in time for the weekend. An additional $12,400 was paid in overtime as grounds crews worked extended hours and weekends to complete the necessary chores. The most noticeable beautification task is the re-sodding of Sanford Mall. The new sod has been staked off to prevent the new grass from being trampled by students. "The sod gets torn up no matter when we put it in," said Robbins. "But if we don't get it in now, it'll be a mud hole all spring." Index ,e6... Editorials.

Off-campus senators Carter Maden, Brett Walters, Barabara Gaddy, Lauren TUttle and Externa] Affairs Chair Dan Norris intro­ duced the bill and answered questions from senators. The bill came about when the administation of the university did not re­ spond to the results of the recent parking deck referendum. In the resolution it states,"the ad­ ministration has not made an attempt to in­ form students of alternatives they will utilize instead of and or in addition to the parking deck." According to the bill, the adminis­ tration has not made several issues concern­ ing the deck clear to the students. Several issues they want addressed are the cost of a deck, the sources of the revenue and who will be allowed to park in the parking decks. "We believe since we pay tuition and it is our university that we have the right to know about construction projects," said Walters.

Grant awarded to study trout A graduate student at Ap­ palachian State University, Lonnie Shull, recently spent more than two years fishing. He was looking for ways to help the Blue Ridge Park­ way preserve its native brook trout population. Shull finished a study last fall which was part of a $2,000 grant from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Shull was trying to identify the streams in North Carolina and Virginia un­ der the parkway's jurisdiction which contain native brook trout. Shull used more than 50 pounds of equipment to check head­ water streams for the brook trout. Shockers were used to temporarily paralyze the fish. Shuii then placed a few fish in protective containers. The fish were then trans­ ported to Appalachian, where pro­ tein was extracted from their eye and liver tissue, to determine if they were pure brook trout. Shull's re­ search enabled him to produce a map showing which streams in the parkway contain pure brook trout. Dr. Gary Walker, an asso­ ciate professor in Appalachian's De­ partment of Biology, said the ben­ efits of the study are numerous. The streams which contain the pure brook trout can now be managed and protected. Alumni invited to a reunion weekend Graduates of Appalachian State University's School of Music are having a reunion April 26-27.

Last night was the last SGA meeting of 1995-'96. President Darby Weaver gave her final speech to the senate about how proud they should all be about their accomplishments. The speech sounded good, but what has SGA really done this year? Considering most of the Weaver/Martin platform centered on opening the lines of communication be­ tween students and faculty, perhaps they have done a good job of accomplishing their goals. But what about the tangible aspects of holding office? Where is all the legislation student governments typically pass to help better the school? Evidently SGA has been holding it all until the last minute, because they passed seven new bills last night. Maybe they have just been using the last two semesters for rewrites, dotting their i's and crossing their t's. The only other significant piece of legislation SGA passed this semester was their grievance policy. The grievance policy creates a means whereby students, who have a problem with a faculty member, can file a grievance against the professor. That grievance will then go to a committee, who will decide what action to take. Sounds pretty logical, right? Except that SGA never took this policy before Faculty Senate and let them know what they were working on. This is the same thing SGA was com­ plaining about when the search and seizure policy was changed. The Administration changed a policy which directly affects students, without ever consult­ ing the students. SGA sure showed them two can play at that game. SGA has also decided they want to become more than a recommending body. While some students may feel this is a good idea since it would probably mean Jesse Helms would never be invited to speak at our university during commencement or any other occasion, it is not. SGA is charged with represent­ ing the entire student body. Obviously this is not always possible. Take the parking deck referendum, for example. SGA was quick to say students were overwhelmingly against the construction of a parking deck on cam­ pus. Their reasoning was 507 students voted against it and only 206 voted for having one built. The fact remains that is still only the opinion of 713 of our 12,020 students. SGA jumped the gun by saying students were against it just as much as the administration jumped the gun by saying students and faculty were for it. The truth seems to lie somewhere in the middle of the two extremes-perhaps closer to apathy than any feeling one way or the other. The Weaver/Martin ticket had a good idea when they developed Appalachian 2000, but the implemen­ tation seemed to fizzle. The forum topics were all pertinent issues, but the attendance led us to the conclusion that something was not done right. More advanced planning could have elicited a bigger turn­ out, which would have helped their cause immensely. Overall, the Appalachian 2000 plan embodied the spirit of the Weaver/Martin tenure. There was a lot of communication among a couple of parties, but not much else. The forums did little to get a wide cross-section of the campus involved, and nothing much really came of the sessions. While all the senators are students with many things to do, their time in office could have been bet­ ter spent getting things done, instead of merely talk­ ing about them. Hopefully next year will see a group who will make an effort to get some legislation passed which will help our students. Take the good ideas from this year's student government and expand on them by using the information gathered to get something done.

Northcote Parkinson Underage drinking is disgusting Erica Everett Columnist Did you know that thousands of Appalachian students are actually above the law? They are not above all laws, of course, just the law that pertains to underage drinking. Some students seem to believe and act as if, although they are under age 21, they are allowed to drink alcohol at any time, even to excess if they so desire. The fact is that all national laws and campus policies apply to all students for good reasons. Setting an age limit of 21 to be able to drink alcohol is necessary and appropriate. Younger people in our country have proven time and time again that they are too imma­ ture and irresponsible to drink. Students kill themselves and each other by driving drunk. In fact, drunk driving is the number one cause of death in America. People who are underage just do not know when to stop. They will drink until their body rejects it by throwing up or passing out. Such gluttony and lack of self control is disgusting. If it were not so sad, it would almost be laughable to watch the irresponsible youngsters waste their nights away getting drunk. It is all they can talk about. Drinking is the topic of most of their conversations. Their reports always include the five W's: who, what, when, where and why. Don't forget the most important; how much. Do forget about talking about anything of substance and developing relationships with people. These people keep their con­ versations as shallow as possible by talking about drinking again and again. Time spent drunk could have been used getting to know someone by sharing your true personality. These young drinkers are members of "Generation X" or the "me generation." They have been said to only be interested in themselves. Drinking in excess may be evi­ dence of this. It is obvious that these members of our gen­ eration have no respect for authority or themselves. Also, it is costly to buy kegs and mixed drinks. Over time these costs add up to a significant sum of money that could be put to better use. Getting drunk is like pouring your money right back into yourself until you throw it up. There is such a thing as responsible drinking by people who are of age. For these people, drinking does not con sume their weekends and their conversations. They dis­ play self control and are mature about drinking. 1 can respect these people. They should be an example to the rest. Helms cancelling an embarrassment Steven Mackay Columnist I'd like to offer my congratulations to the liberal elite on this campus, from students to faculty, for successfully keeping Jesse Helms at bay. You have proven that through diligence and hard work, you can force your viewpoints, be they wrong or right or left, onto the whole of society. Through the propaganda tools of diversity and open-mindedness, you have squelched a people's right to hear a speaker that might not mesh with that very idealism. Talk about your sickening ironies. Congratulations indeed, the left-wing fascists of this campus have struck another blow to the First Amendment. The hell with freedom of speech and justice for all, we're celebrating diversity here. Or are we? I am not angry that Sen. Helms was forced to forego his trip to Appalachian. I'm sad. Incredibly so. Campus groups such as NOW, the College Democrats, BEAR (the Boone Environmental Action and Revolution), the infamous Guerrilla Grrls and others have forever crippled this university's chances of becoming a respectable institution. For now on, we will be known as the place where diversity, acceptance and tolerance is meant only for a select few. What's really disgusting is that professors were also protesting the choice of Helms as a speaker. Are these not the same 1960's protesters who rebelled for freedom for all? What a horrid lesson to send to students here. Also, SGA president Darby Weaver was among the protesters. So, political representatives have no right to speak at a Commencement? Cool. Then I hope I don't have to see Weaver and her ilk at my graduation. No matter how you cut it, a man, hell, a U.S. senator, was denied his right to freedom of speech. No matter how you cut it, an audience, no matter how small or large, was denied the right to hear that senator speak. Freedom of Speech is no more here. The defense that many used was a senator running for re-election shouldn't be allowed to speak at a com­ mencement. However, that extraordinarily weak argument fails under logic and history. So what if Helms is running? He's smart enough to not give a "campaign speech" at a commencement. Speaking of which, what crystal ball told you he was going to in the first place? Also, Harvey Gantt spoke here at a commencement when he was running for Helms' seat. I wonder who protested him? Nobody. No, this weak defense only pinpoints the true hatred and intolerance for those of the politically right by the fas­ cist left on this campus. The liberals just used the cam­ paign issue as a veil, what these people truly want is a one-mind, one-mission university. I find it ironic that the group leader of the protest is called BEAR. Could it be an analogy to the wonder days of Communism when millions were persecuted for their religious and political beliefs? That's what happened here to Helms and campus conser­ vatives, they were denied our basic rights of speech. We were censored! How's this for diversity, there has not been a univer­ sity sponsored conservative speaker on this campus for over eight years. Does this strike anyone else as strange? Imagine the uproar if those conservatives had pro­ tested if Gantt came here again? They'd be called racist, close-minded, ignorant and a slew of other names. Why doesn't this argument hold up when the tables are reversed? A few weeks ago my original article on this debate was met with much protest, including a stunning 12 let­ ters, six of which were from two people. Other letters, all vulgar and vicious were left unsigned. Yet, these are the people who claim to actually be fight­ ing for freedom of speech and intolerance against the al­ leged evil of Helms. I know the protesters have a right to their expressions, but creating an atmosphere so hostile and tinged with vio­ lence that a senator declines to come here is simply de­ plorable. Have we moved that much closer to a police state where thought, speech and expression must meet a left-wing, liberal agenda, or it will be squelched? This scares me, for these protesters will be running the country soon. NOW claims that Helms is more than welcome to< our campus in an "open forum." Wow! Thanks for your permission ladies! Heck, with this bile-filled campus, Helms; would never be given the chance to speak; he'd be under a; constant barrage of character assassinations and attacks. Helms says he wants to help bring a replacement: speaker to the Business Commencement. I could suggest the star of "The Killing Fields," actor Haing S. Ngor, who; survived the fascist government of Cambodia, where count less people were shot for their political and religious be­ liefs and their educational status. However, he was mur­ dered in Los Angeles recently. Maybe he would have: warned all of us, from the biggest conservative to the: founder of BEAR, about the precious gift of freedom, which: has been trampled on irt recent weeks. Some individuals are even pushing for Chancellor Borkowski to resign over his support for Helms. Just how. sick and bitter can a person be? Hell, maybe we should: toss him in jail while were at it. We could also get Castro up here to run things - manyi seem to agree with him. Since I graduate in two weeks, this is my final column for "The Appalachian," and I'm glad. For three years I have: written commentaries on the importance of freedom and the intellectual disease known as political correctness. Alas, I'm afraid all of my work was in vain. I still want to believe that most students on this campus do believe in freedom of speech for all, no matter what their beliefs, but I have no reason to. I am truly disappointed and saddened by the actions of these few fascists, and this entire campus, for not standi ing up against them. It is an odd lesson that a hard conservative, who is accused of being a hate-monger, has brought out the true viciousness that reeks on this campus - the bile that lives in the hearts and minds of the liberal left. Actually, its more of a tragic lesson. I truly hope we as a university can turn this tragedy around and we can go into the future, fighting to everyone's freedoms and basic rights to free speech. Until then, I'm gone. 1 don't want to call this place my alma mater. The Appalachian readers give us opinions A A Q. lt's a tragedy that the , people who claim that Jesse Helms is narrow-minded would show that they are the ones who are really narrowminded by not even being open to hear him speak. It's disappointing to many COB graduates. Michael Hagerty Sophomore, Jacksonville Angela Brady Editor-in-Chief John Lane Managing Editor For someone to come to to open their mind and learn about life, it would have been a real travesty for them to have to listen to a narrow-minded bigot speak at the commencement ceramony they worked so hard to achieve.

Like all Appalachian faithful, 1 wish Buzz Peterson the best of luck with the Mountaineer basketball team. 1 know several of the players personally and very much want them to be suc­ cessful. What 1found so upsetting about your commentray were the cruel and harsh things which you said about Coach Apke. Tom Apke is a fine person and although his last two seasons were losing ones, he know basketball. He is not a loser: he took Creighton University to three NCAA tourna­ ments and received one NIT bid. You criticized his record at Colorado; yet no CU coach since Tom has had a better five year record. Boulder is a tough place to coach basket­ ball! You also belittled Coach Apke for being reserved on the bench and not interjecting enthusiasm into his team. You seem to think youth is what it takes to be a good coach. To the Editor: My opinion on your opinion. I disagree. I do not know the students reasons for filing the suit against the state, but I agree with what they did. Why do scholarships have to be based on race or gender? Is that not being dis­ criminatory in itself? Discrimination is discrimination, no matter what the purpose of the program. It is the same type of thing as racial and gender based quota systems and affirmative action plans. These programs seek to end discrimination, vet they discriminate. Is it possible to do to do both at the same time? Of course not! The answer is opportunity based on merit. When the world finally opens up its eyes and sees that two wrongs do not make a right, we will see some changes in the ways people think. In the case of a scholarship, no matter the school, applicants for it should only be identified by their Social Security num­ ber or such, along with thier merits for being awarded the scholarship. Their race, religion, gender, etc., should not even be a factor. Otherwise it is dicriminatory. Allen Jenkins ASU Box 16522 Headline upsets reader Kimrey Woodward ASU Box 15453 implant brains". When a person in a journalistic capacity resorts to this kind of name-calling it is obvious that their grasp of vocabulary is incredibly low. I have some very serious objections to Sen. Helms as a represenative of North Carolina and there are many rea­ sons that I would object to him as a commencement speaker. The main point that everyone should consider is this, it was not so very long ago that President Clinton was planning a visit to Ft. Bragg. It was Sen. Helms that publicly stated that Clinton should watch his back while he was down there. Now if anyone besides Sen. Helms had said this the FBI would have taken them away the next day, but this institution instead rewards this kind of public lunacy by making him a speaker at commencement. In Mackays article, he states that the polite thing to do is not to shout or make death threats but to listen. It would seem that this point contradicts his entire article. How can credence be given to any journalist that has such a short memory and such powerful contradictions within his work?

To the Editor: Tabitha Soren's lecture was a perfect argument for the dismantling of Journalism programs and the rebuilding of tradtional History and English programs that emphasize critical thinking skills. Miss Soren's inability to communi­ cate her ideas in grammatically correct and coherent lan­ guage was simply an indictment of the Generation X's fail­ ure rather than an illustration of their accomplishments. Her arguements were as vacuous as her employer's programming, as she failed to extend her historial analysis Bob Hadley Professor of History ,, David Blyler Professor of English Pride in Appalachian thank you for two very interesting, informative, support­ ing, and often, entertaining years. When I compare the atmosphere on this campus with another in the university system, where I began my under­ graduate career many years in the past, Appalachian wins hands down. Boone and the inspiring mountainous ter­ rain of the region seem to attract the best people and then to further bring out their excellence. To the Editor: In May I will join the many other students who are graduating with four year degrees in various disciplines. Mine will be in anthropology.

Chicago native signed with his ASU student runs in Boston Marathon Reporter The mystique. The drama. The history. These are all characteristics of one of the old­ est sporting events around today, The Boston Marathon. From the start in Hopkinton, Mass. to the finish in Boston 26.2 miles later, the Boston Marathon has a unique ability to draw people in. This unique quality was what caught Cara Sidman's attention. A graduate student here at Appalachian State, 23-year-old Sidman has been inspired by this race all her life. "As a kid growing up in Massachusetts I used to watch my Dad run in the Boston Mara­ thon as a "bandit" runner," Sidman said, re­ flecting about her earliest memories of Bos­ ton. A "bandit" is a runner who hasn't offi­ cially qualified for the race, but runs the race anyway. Sidman continues," From those early days, I was always interested in running, and watching my Dad only intensified my desire to run. At that age, I didn't really have the comprehension of how far my Dad was run­ ning, but now I do!" Sidman started off her college career at UNCW majoring in physical education. After receiving her degree, Cara decided to come to ASU to further her education as a graduate student in exercise science, and plans to re­ ceive her Ph. D in exercise science from the In 1993, his first season at Appalachian, Sutton suffered a knee injury after two games and was medically red-shirted for the rest of the season, giving him an extra year. That extra year truned out to be this year. Sutton started all 13 games for the Mountain­ eers this season and recorded two intercep­ tions playing alongside defensive back Matt Stevens, Appalachian's other NFL-bound se- DCai^•0vvn Bears. \ came to Appalachian in 1992 as a ii tton student that from Triton College in Illinois. of Knoxville Sutton had played at l/nAvrrilla tin Tennessee could be there to support her as well as thou­ sands of other supporters. Sidman hadn't qualified for Boston, but like her Dad, Cara was going to run as a "bandit." Sidman re­ plied," Running as a "bandit" may seem like your not running the race for real, but your running the race just like everyone else, only you don't have a number. You may not get a medal for finishing, but you still have all the satisfaction of knowing you completed the race and you competed in one of the greatest sporting and running events of all time!" When asked about her most memorable moments of Boston and if she would do it again, Sidman's face brightened and she said, "The people. Everywhere you looked. From the 38,000 or so participants to all the spec­ tators, the people were really great. We were all like one big family." Sidman continues," Of course 1 would do it again. My next goal is to officially qualify for the race and to get better everytime I run. It's hard work but when you cross the finish line, all the thoughts of hard work and time just fade away. It was all worthwhile at that point." From her early days as a spectator, to her, participation in it today and in years to come, Boston will hold a part of Sidman's heart in its grasp, just like so many other runners. If you can't realize this, pick up a book about running or a magazine. All have great_things to say about the Boston Marathon and the effects it has on people. Just ask Cara Sidman. She will tell you. Chad Yarbrough Sutton is the first Appalachian player to be signed by an NFL team without being drafted since linebacker Rico Mack who signed with Pittsburgh in 1994. Sidman University of Connecticut in the next couple of years. On the running side of her life, Sidman always saw running as a way for her to study what she was learning about the body and this helped her understand exactly what people go through when they exert themselves. As far as the marathon was concerned, Sidman looked at it as the ultimate challenge and one day she wanted to conquer that challenge. From training up to six months to eating right, Sidman worked hard to make her dreams come true by preparing to run the 100th Anniver­ sary of the Boston Marathon. Being from Massachusetts gave this dream a special meaning. This meant her parents Men's tennis ends season with Southern Conference crown Mike Daniels S p o r t s Editor 'nee Sutton (left) talks with teammate Tony Perry on the sideline.

Wake was held to just seven hits despite scoring six runs. Centerfielder Pete Snitzer led Appalachian in runs, crossing the plate three times. Starter Will Reeves, who pitched five in­ nings and struck out five, was pulled after al­ lowing three runs to start off the sixth inning. Reliever Stephen Fisher, who pitched the tenth, got the win to improve to 3-0. The Mountaineers now stand at 26-17 heading into the Southern Conference tour­ nament in Charleston S.C. Over the weekend the men's tennis team traveled to Furman for the Southern Confer­ ence Championships. ASU, which had beaten defending champion ETSU and powerhouse Furman during the regular season, was a strong contender to win the conference. The first order of business for the Apps was a make-up match with Georgia Southern which would determine the regular season conference champion. ASU won the match 52 and won their first regular season crown in 21 years. Unfourtunately, the Apps fell just a little short of winning the conference tourney. ETSU was able to sucessfully defend their crown by winning three flights and totaling 59 points. The Buccaneers were followed by host Furman with 55 points and at third, ASU finished with 54 points. Appalachian had two players win flights. Greg May cruised to victory in the second singles bracket with a 6-0, 6-2 win over Furman's Erik deWries. At fifth singles Zach Sharpe fought off number one seeded Pablo Lage of ETSU in the championship match with a 6-4, 6-3 victory. May and Sharpe were also sucessful in their doubles matches, although neither won championships. Sharpe and Marcin Zabor fin­ ished second in the third doubles flight, losing in the championship match in three sets. Zabor Zach Sharpe was one of two ASU players to win their bracket at Furman. (File photo) also finished in third place at fourth singles. May and partner Frank Connor finshed third in the second doubles bracket winning 6-1, 6-1 over Furman's second doubles pair of deVries and Jennings Pitts.

Task Force for Child Care The Alternative Transportation Committee of Appalachian State University met Monday, March 18, 1996, with the following members present: Dr. Harvard Ayers, Mr. Dino DiBernardi, Ms. Jane Helm, Dr. Nina-Jo Moore, mr. Dan Norris, Mr. David Ponder, Dr. Al Rapp, Dr. Polly Trnavsky, Mr. Brett Walters, and Ms. Carrie Mangum. Vice Chancellor Helm responded that she was excited about the committee and felt that this was a good time for an Alternative Transportation Commit­ tee to be established. She said, "As construction projects continue to increase, more parking spaces are being lost. Although there are more parking spaces on campus than vehicles registered, they're not in locations where people want to park." She also mentioned that one of the more congested areas on campus is around Raley Hall, where it is proposed to build a parking deck. Ms. Helm reminded the committee that the Chancellor had indicated in his memo that if there are any capital improvements, fund sources should be identified in the committee's recommendation. She also suggested one area the committee might want to look at is the idea of having a campus shuttle that would supplement the AppalCart. A four-phase approach was suggested for the committee. The first phase would consist of collecting information. The committee approved a list of The Chancellor's Task Force to address campus child care needs has been individuals it would like to meet with. The following are potential speakers: charged with the responsibility of examining Child Care needs for the University Community and recommending options to meet these needs.

Another idea presented was to restrict freshmen and other students who live within a two-mile perimeter from being permitted to have vehicles on campus. Dr. Rapp suggested that Mr. Roy Tugman, director of Public Safety/University Police, might be able to share past University experiences and to offer some answers to questions concerning parking. Study on the job and help keep ASU safe. For more information, come by Residence Life (first floor Founders Hall) or call 262-2161 The committee discussed a proposed parking structure with Dr. Robbins saying that the structure would probably be two stones above the existing parking lot. The mid-level of the deck will be at road level so pedestrian traffic will be able to access the deck instead of having to walk around it. The Public Safety/University Police office would join the deck. You can register or adjust your schedule for any term of summer 1996 on Thursday, April 25 and Friday.

Borkowski takes aim at being a student til23jjz ; Volume 70, Number 45 Appalachian State University, Boone, North Carolina, 28608 Vill Appalachian build a parking deck? Three sources give Ifferent recommendations JiTPenneii dstant News Editor Eight and a half percent of Appalachian's student body voted on the deck referendum last week. Students voting against a deck totalled while 207 voted in favor of its construction. Lauren Hittle, off-campus senator and member of Students withVoices, -It (the referendum result) was good considering the advertising we did' jdwhat we could with the time restraints." Jane Helm," vice chancellor of business affairs, said many of those voted against the deck may have been misguided by the fliers. She said aits will not solely fund the deck. Helm also said the referendum was the third survey done this year to •eel for how the students feel about the issue. She said each survey has • different, though, in its wording, so comparing the three to get one clear jme is difficult. The first survey was developed by the office of business affairs. Helm roughly 6,1)00 surveys were mailed out to students and faculty. One hun;thirty-nine responses were received and 126 of those favored the deck. The second survey was formed by Polly Trnavsky, chair of traffic and :y committee and psychology professor. Trnavsky became interested in the ectwhen she sat on the panel for the transportation forum Feb. 26. Two statements from the audience about the first survey caught ivsky's attention. One was that the survey should have gone to students (do not have cars registered. Another was students found it too difficult to rathe survey. She decided to develop a survey and to distribute it to the faculty on committee and in the faculty senate. She asked those who wished to parate to pass them out to each of their classes. According to Trnavsky, 15 classes in the Colleges of Arts and Sciences Business participated in this survey and 343 students responded. This is it twice as many as the number who responded to the survey originally out by business affairs. Questions included on this survey asked if students had their car regon campus and if they were in favor of building a parking deck if parkis do not increase. tlg Appalachian students voted last week in the student union on the SGA referendum dealing with the construction of a parking deck on campus. The results were 506 against any deck while 207 favored construction. (Photo by John Lane) These results showed 86.5 percent of the students were in favor of a parking deck and 10.1 percent were against it. Fifty-two percent had a car registered on campus. Trnavsky said each class survey was representative of the final out­ come. "Every class reflected the group data," she said. The third student response came in the form of the referendum. Talk of a parking deck has been floating around for many years, but Helm said this is the furthest the process has ever gone. They have submitted a request through the state general admisistration and expect to get an ap­ proval over the summer. Approval is expected because "it's a revenue generat­ ing project," said Helm. elms not speaking at com ela Brady tor-in-Chief Students at Appalachian State Unifty proved that their voices can be heard, sSen. Jesse Helms (R-NC) announced late trday afternoon that he would not be tag at the May 12 College of Business mencement. In Helms' letter to Chancellor Francis Aowski, Helms said that "Graduation time tended to be a joyful and often sentimenme deserving better than to be marred by ierate unpleasantness...." Helms' decision came directly on the 'of Borkowski's response demanded by lent groups who delivered a letter to towki asking for him to explain the selec* process of commencement speakers, ® speaking fees and the implications of having a political candidate speak at a graduation cer­ emony. In his response, Borkowski said that he would not rescind the Senator's invitation, because "the university has an obligation, even at commencement, to provide students with an opportunity to hear diverse views on di­ verse issues." "I understand full well the concerns underlying the letter and petition which I have received," Borkowski said in his letter. "I trust, however, that the signatories to the letter and the petition understand my obligation as Chan­ cellor." Borkowski addressed all the issues the groups asked for a response on, however Andrew George, co-president of the Boone Environmental Action and Revolution, said he feels the response was unacceptable. I "Considering Helms had enough po­ litical common sense to realize how disastrous a campaign speech at commencement would have been, Chancellor Borkowski should have had as much insight," said George. "Now that Helms has reconsidered, perhaps it's time that Chancellor Borkowski should follow his lead and reconsider his ten­ ure at Appalachian," said George. "Montana is pretty nice this time of year." George added that he "commends Helms on his wisdom for choosing not to speak at our university's commencement." "But we urge Senator Helms to come to our university in an open forum much like the forum in which Harvey Gantt recently spoke," said Dawn Lasusky, president of the Boone Area NOW Campus Chapter. Borkowski's response at press time expressed "surprise and regret."

Borkwoski's response to the 19 people who ligned the letter requesting a response on Helms' speaking engagement on May 12. To those listed above: Limiting presentations of differing views on major issues is antithetical to the mission of a university and negatively reflects on a university's integrity. The university hs an obligation, even at commencement, to provide students with an opportunity to T'Oor diverse views on diverse issues. Free speech is a cornerstone of a university. It would be shaken if a policy were adopted that discouraged bringing to campus speakers "no may engage controversial issues. The questions educators frequently confront are how to provide an fvironment for free speech and how best to help develop in students tolerance for beliefs which may be fundamentally contrary to their own. Should educators advocate a genicular set of beliefs and claim that others are impermissible, or should they present ""dents with alternative views in order to enhance their critical thinking skills so that eY can discriminate among the views that are presented? : These are questions of fundamental values. They are not questions that can e cnswered easily or quickly. If all speakers only verify commonly held beliefs, then 'whet is the effect of their words? They merely contribute to intellectual complacency '"d never put certainties into doubt. A "community standard too often becomes a Method of control, silencing voices that the majority does not want to hear. It is for this 'eeson that I am a staunch advocate for diversity on campus. I find it ironic that critics " Senator Helms' appearance on campus, who make the case that he is against Wersity, are by their position acting contrary to the true principles of diversity. As you are all well aware there are six commencement ceremonies in the Wig. The selection of the commencement speakers varies among each of the c° leges and schools. Suggestions for commencement speakers can and do come from >nous members of the University community-students, faculty, parents, alumni and j/1' 'n some colleges or schools a committee recommends a speaker to the dean; in ers the selection of the commencement speaker is left to the discretion of the dean. e Chancellor is usually not consulted, nor is action by him requested or expected to a speaker. e'e&ve With regard to Senator Helms, I recommended to Dean Peacock that he be a °""nencement speaker. This was not done as an endorsement of the Senator s Os,f'ons. The University does not endorse political candidates. The University Gently invites state-wide political leaders to share their views with the University """unity, but busy schedules do not always permit the appearances at times that are .e ^ed. Senator Helms is Chairman of the critical Senate Foreign Relations ."""idee. He has been elected to Congress by the citizens of North Carolina for four ms; obviously, his views are supported by a sizable number of North Carolinians. He has never presented an address at Appalachian. The fact that this is an election year was not an issue. Parenthetically, I you m arr8^js ,00 wjll pass might add, Mr. Harvey Gantt was a commencement speaker in the spring of 1990 when he opposed Mr. Helms for the Senate seat in November of that year. He was also a speaker on campus this academic year and Dr. Charles Sanders was a speaker last year, both of whom appeared after stating their intentions to be candidates for the seat held by Senator Helms. Neither commencement speakers nor those individuals on whom the University confers honorary degrees receive an honorarium. The University does pay for travel expenses but no fees are paid for an address. Senator Helms has requested no reimbursement for his address and is receiving no payment of any kind whatsoever. I understand full well the concerns underlying the letter and petition which I have received. I trust, however, that the signatories to the letter and the petition understand my obligation as Chancellor. I will not rescind the University's invitation to Senator Helms to speak at the College of Business commencement. To do so would violate Appalachian's commitment to free speech, disappoint those who support the Senator's views, and chill the willingness to speak at Appalachian on the part of those who warrant an audience even when their opinions are unpopular among students, faculty and staff. One closing thought. President-Emeritus William Friday of The University of North Carolina, one of the most distinguished leaders in higher education who served the University as President for 30 years, was on campus a few weeks ago. I asked him, during a taping of Appalachian Perspective, what was the greatest challenge during the 30 years that he served as President of the University. He said without hesitation,, and I quote, "The ban on speakers. When two speakers, because of alleged sympathy with the Communist Party, were not permitted to appear on campus because of legislative action and my board did not support me in my effort to provide them a forum." Surely, we have progressed at Appalachian since those dark days of the 1960s and 1970s? Thank you for sharing your views with me. Sincerely, Francis T. Borkwoski Chancellor . Sursumcorda!

"What we found was that the legislature was out of session," said Weaver. "Instead of focusing our at­ tention there we had a direct contact through Association of Student Gov­ ernments (ASG)." Weaver said the president of ASG is also on the Board of Governors and Paul Burleson, chair of state af­ fairs, brought the concerns for the li­ brary to ASG. Weaver and Martin also planned to bring legislation before SGA requesting $3 million for the li­ brary from the 1999 Appalachian Cen­ tennial campaign. Legislation was presented to SGA and passed in early March, according to David Ponder, rules committee chair. Weaver and Martin also promised to create a quick referral system to assist in research and loca­ tion of materials, and to restructure the library orientation tour to increase effectiveness. Weaver said she has worked with Mary Reichel, university librar­ ian, on these issues. She said when the library was renovated this summer, a new area was created just for refer­ ence. "It made it easier for students Appalachian 2000 During the campaigns last year a lot of focus was given to the creation of Appalachian 2000.

SGA sponsored Diversity Week during the month of February. It featured several groups on campus, such as the Native American Council and the Black Student Association. Felicia Fluid, chair of student affairs, worked on the planning of this week. "It was a better outlet to find out about different organizations," said Fluid. Weaver felt diversity week broke down barriers and gave organi­ zations something to build on for the future. She said there was a lot of coalition building between different organizations during the week. Mike Harkins, chief of staff, said the week created awareness for other issues, like hiring more minor­ ity faculty and increasing admissions of minority students. "This makes everyone aware and makes people have to change," said Harkins. "We did an amazing job," said Weaver. "We accomplished every­ thing and never lost the focus of SGA." Weaver and Martin hoped to 1 Has the administration of Darby Weaver and Robyn Martin ac­ complished all they promised during their campaign? According to Weaver, Martin and the cabinet of SGA, they have been very successful this year. The campaign of Weaver and Martin focused on four areas: reno­ vating the library, the creation of Ap­ palachian 2000, transportation and parking and diversity. portation. "We're happy with the results but turnout started to be a problem," said Ponder. "Appalachian 2000 helped inform students about impor­ tant things on this campus." Weaver said the administra­ tion is now ready to listen to the stu­ dents and they realize the importance of the student voice. Weaver will be presenting a final report on Appalachian 2000 to SGA and the administration. She hopes the program will be used as a tool for guiding on issues and decisions for next year. 1 News Editor to feel like they could come in and ask a question," said Weaver. She also said Reichel is working on improving the service, as well as on making new maps of the library. Weaver said the library is looking at ways to change the orien­ tation tour for freshmen, because stu­ dents are not getting much out of it. This is still being looked at by the li­ brary. In their platform, Weaver and Martin planned to establish a stu­ dent planning committee to assist and advise on library renovations.

Accuracy and Public Service since 1936 Our opinion... - Life goes on without 'eco-freak' action A parking deck wi become a reality Students voted in the SGA Parking Referendum last week to voice their opinion on the prospects of building a parking deck at Appalachian. Five hun­ dred and six students voted "no," while 207 voted in favor of at least one parking deck on campus. The parking referendum was the last step toward the administration figuring out what to do about the atrocious parking situation on this campus. In February 8,000 surveys were sent to students and faculty concerning parking on campus. These surveys yielded a sorry student return of 126. When the administration got "excited" about the survey's return rate, we were confused as to why. Sure, they got back a total of about 800, but most of them were from faculty. What about all the students who felt the survey itself was biased and chose not to return it to Business Affairs? The wording of the survey itself shows the onetrack mentality of the administration. The survey wasn't two-sided, rather it simply asked which site (out of three listed) students would like to see a deck built upon. So, the voice of some of the students were heard in the referendum, but does it really matter in the whole scheme of things? The administration will still build a deck if they really want to. It is obvious that they do, especially with the construction of the Aca­ demic Convocation Center (ACC). Jane Helm, vice chancellor of business affairs, has said the deck would bring revenue from special events. These special events will be held at the ACC, Students will not be able to park in the deck because ticket holders will have paid big money to park there during events. The parking deck will be a money making operation and no one is going to give up the prospects of that, especially at a university. SGA called for the referendum because they felt the administration had not gotten feedback from a majority of students. But the students have yet to be heard because less than 10 percent of the population voted in the referendum. Were the students really informed about both sides of the issue when they went to vote? Shortly after the passing of the referendum, signs began ap­ pearing condemning the building of a parking deck. There were never any signs or publicity for the "yes" side of the deck issue. It was also stated in SGA that at least one debate would be held before the voting, but one was never held. The reason was there were no students who came out in full support of a deck. This is really no surprise since the administration is the one propos­ ing the building of a deck. Why couldn't a debate be held between the ad­ ministration and the students? These are the only sides in this issue. If the students want to be heard what better way than face to face. The parking deck issue has really gotten out of control. Bias abounds from both sides of the issue. The fliers from Students With Voices, which did not support the parking deck, have said the students will have to pay for the deck. Helm has said students will not solely fund the construction of a deck. The administration has said the referendum will be taken into consideration but Helm has said the project will be brought before the state general ad­ ministration and she expects approval this summer. Students should expect seeing not one but sev­ eral parking decks over the coming years because students like having their cars on campus. Students should not be ready to give up being heard but they must realize that universities and colleges are big businesses.

The final 17 percent are guys who em­ brace causes because young attractive girls do. (I'm con­ vinced tight bell-bottoms affect this country more than the Supreme Court.) The beliefs held by these groups reveal more politics than science and a pie chart of them reveals a peace sign. Look at how inconsistent they are. They want to pre­ serve natural resources, end toxic spills and slow global warming, right? Yet biodegradable products, according to chemist Martin Hockinmore, need more natural resources for production than plastic or styrofoam. Producing a pa­ per cup uses 36 times the electricity and 500 times the water of a styrofoam one. We're urged to recycle rather than throw away, yet The National Wildlife Federation says, "recycling 100 tons of papercreates 40 tons of toxic sludge," which is why, "13 of the 50 worst Superfund hazardous waste dumps were recycling facilities." They also report that, "87 percent of U.S. paper prod­ ucts come from trees grown specifically for that purpose," and they compare trying to save trees by cutting back on paper consumption to "trying to save com by cutting back on com consumption." Now get this: a byproduct of chemical biodegradation is methane gas, which, according to the ecology textbook "Geosystems," is the second leading cause of the global warming that's been occurring since about 1970. Now isn't 1970 right around the time that all these planet savers started buying these methane-creating biodegradable prod­ ucts? Thankfully there's no global warming. These groups know that many of you are too young to remember their global cooling scares of the '70s. If you can't trust me, trust science. In a 1992 Gallup Poll of meteorologists and geophysicists, only 19 percent blamed man for global temperature changes. Yet, it's al­ ways this minority of scientists who are quoted, never the minority who believe, according to "Social Problems," that, "air pollutants actually cancel out the greenhouse effect by reflecting sunlight." Which means a smog producing factory has as much science to justify their contribution to "Saving The Planet" as Greenpeace. And what about air pollution? Well, according to "50 Simple Things You Can Do To Save The Earth," automo­ biles produce 6.5 million tons of hydrocarbons yearly. Yet "Geosystems" rates plants as the top producers of hydro­ carbons. Fifty million acres of new forests have grown in the northeastern U.S. since 1920. Which finally explains all that smog in Manhattan. Do something positive to end air pollution: trade in your catalytic converter for a chainsaw. Which isn't to say that fossil fuels aren't adding to the problem. So, thank God we have a safe, clean, reusable fuel source like nuclear power. Now the waste is nasty, but at least it's not Contrib­ uting to global warming like all those "green" products the planet savers righteously buy. But in one year, according to 'Apocolypse Not," if we ran the entire nation on nuclear power it would only pro­ duce, "high-level wastes equal to about 35 feet on a side." Compare that to the millions of tons of pollution fossil fu­ els create. Storing the waste is easy. Currently we have barrels that hold it for 50 years, so let's change them every 49 just to be safe. Ecofreaks love to scare us with nuclear power. How­ ever, in the last 40 years, the alarmists predict that 50 cases of cancer may be the result of Three Mile Island, and the New Encyclopaedia Britannica says a total of 232 deaths will be the final toll at Chernobyl. Compare that to the 498 men who have died, according to the U.S. Labor Bu­ reau, in coal mining accidents in only eight years, or the three environmentally "friendly" hydroelectric dams that have collapsed since 1976, killing 37 in the U.S. alone. Dam failure casualties in Italy and China make Chernobyl look like a fender bender. If you want to keep people from being hurt, ban Demo­ cratic conventions held in Chicago and books on bomb- making from Berkeley professors, because statistics h statistic it's safer to live with nuclear power than guys named I breakfast drinks.

Wait, it gets worse. The February 1993 Atlant Monthly reports that birth rates, even in poor nations, hav° dropped 30 percent in the last 25 years. Meaning that by the year 2005, the world will reach zero population growth and contain 6.5 billion people. That's 122 people per square mile making the world as crowded as Ireland, with Hi million acres of pasture, is today. A1 Gore says the popula tion may explode to 14 billion. If so, what he doesn't tell you is that our world's population density, excluding unin­ habitable areas like the poles and the Southside of Chi-1 cago, would equal that apocalypse of overpopulation we i call Pennsylvania. All this is from a book called, "All thei Trouble In the World" by RJ. O'Rourke. By the way, most natural resources, like oil, have all I declined in price for decades, so they're not depleting. But: socialists don't understand things like that and scare them-i selves. Now don't let all this take the glow off the big Earth Day celebration yesterday.

To censor or not to censor Frank Dalrymple Guest Columnist Last week, 12 reasons were given as to why the New Play Festival was cancelled for next year. The 12 reasons were: We need work from advanced playwrights, We need plays by people who have shown their work to other people, these plays don't have charac­ ters we care about, these plays just won't work in Greer, things that are intense are just no good in there, dramas only work in the Valborg, these plays do not have a begin­ ning, middle and an end, there was no trio of plays that made "an evening," one of the plays has 15 scenes in 20 pages, one of the plays has somebody walking on stage with blood all over their hands and a strangling (and who wants to see that?), one of the plays is about nothing but sex, these plays just aren't finished, and finally, we just don't like the content of these plays, but this is not about censorship. These "reasons" are ludicrous and completely biased. Because of them, there may not be a completely student written play festival here at Appalachian next year. It sad­ dens me to see that yet another educational opportunity is being ruined by the closed-mindedness and bias of the the­ atre faculty, and lack of imagination on the part of Playcrafters. I am a 42-year-old undergraduate student. I entered Appalachian in '94 as a transfer student seeking a major in theatre. After a year of tremendous frustration with that department, I changed academic goals, and became an English major. The outrageousness of the reasons stated above is a prime example of why I left the theatre depart­ ment. The New Play Festival is a fundraiser for the Theatre & Dance department's student service organization, Playcrafters. The Festival has always been planned as an annual event. I've attended it during both of my years at Appalachian. Last Monday night, a student in our creative writing class, who also happens to be the coordinator of the New Play Festival competition, announced to us that the Festi­ val would not be produced next year due to the exceed­ ingly poor quality of the scripts submitted. There had been a total of 14 submissions, much more than in previous years. She went on to explain to us that she and the president of Playcrafters, Rendy Dinovo, had met with faculty mem­ bers Ed Pilkington, the department's playwriting profes­ sor, and Dr. Susan Cole, the Department Chair, at which point it was decided that the festival would not be pro­ duced. Apparently, Playcrafters' faculty advisor, Dr. Linda Welden, had also deemed the plays unacceptable. The day after the decision to cancel the Festival was made, letters were sent out to all of the playwrights ex­ plaining the organization's total lack of enthusiasm for the scripts. It was suggested that they continue to work on their plays, and perhaps even enroll in Mr. Pilkington's playwriting course. The letter was signed by Rendy Dinovo, as Playcrafters' president. Students shouldn't be forced to take a class if they hope to get their work produced in the New Play Festival. Suggesting they should is completely wrong. Why am I so upset over the cancellation of a few, pos­ sibly weak student plays? It's because this decision (and the reasons behind it) typifies the mentality that grips that department, including the faculty and many of the stu­ dents. In the Fall of '95, some junior and senior female The­ atre and Dance majors met in frustration over what they felt had been the lack of opportunity and support offered to them by the department during their undergraduate career. It was during that meeting that they decided to write, act and produce their own work and to offer a fo­ rum to other writers and performers on campus. This idea, like the New Play Festival, would give students the oppor­ tunity to hone their dramatic and writing skills outside the classroom, giving them the most practical experience of aU. The production, "Pieces Of She," commenced this past March. Rend> Dinovo was one the production's organiz-i ers. About half of the work performed was written by women faculty of the English Department. This brings me to the current episode of what I con­ sider to be more educational sabotage. Students learn best when they are allowed to rise and fall under their own power. Risk is essential. Those who fully invest in their work (in this case, with numerous rewrites), stand a good1 chance of achieving some level of success. Those who are too ambitious, misguided, lazy, etc., also benefit from see-: ing their mistakes on stage. The 12 reasons the New Play Festival has been can­ celled illustrate the mentality consistently used against stu­ dents when faculty wants to cancel something. What the theatre faculty has failed to recognize is their own hypoc-i risy. The New Play festival is written, acted and directed by students. It demands little or no energy from any facn ulty member. So, I take great offense when the production is halted by professors who have each gotten to mount their own productions this year without any interference, or thought about students' enthusiasm for their selection of material. I was told, unofficially, that Playcrafters will solicit another set of script submissions in the fall, so that the Festival may not have to be pulled. That's fine with me But, will the mentality toward raw, unpolished, possibly outrageous, undeveloped student plays change? I wonder And, will the scripts chosen come from faculty or students I fear that the selection committee will forget that the point' is to use the work of students. I have to laugh when I see countless articles re garding the controversy surrounding Charlotte Rep s P™ duction of "Angels in America," posted on the Chapel 1 > son bulletin board. I can well imagine the response a 1 "Angels'" author, Tony Kushner, would have receivied if It® had submitted an early draft of his ground-breaking p' > to the Department of Theatre and Dance. a Child pilot death preventable w Steven Mackay Columnist Last week, the nation stood in suspended horror when they heard that the Cessna Cardinal plane seven-year-old Jessica Dubroff was piloting went down in a fierce storm just after take off. Jessica was killed on that Thursday morning, along with her father, Lloyd Dubroff, and her flight instructor, Joe Reid. Once again, as a nation we have to let people die in order to learn a simple lesson, children shouldn't fly air­ planes. The reasoning is simple. We don't let kids drive cars, smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, see "R"-rated movies by themselves, play with matches or table saws, fire automatic weapons, say nasty four-letter words or even go to the mall unsupervised. Yet, we allow them to fly airplanes? That's the kind of reasoning which makes me shudder with the notion that we were trusted with the charge of this planet by God. The night before Jessica perished, my roommate and I had a discussion on the very topic of the dangers of let­ ting children fly planes. I reasoned that the physical and psychological responsibilties are far too great for any child, and that, if something tragic were to occur, the damage and loss of life would be much higher than the results of a child crashing an automobile or a motorcycle. Sadly, I was proven right. The details of Jessica's crash prove that it was not entirely her fault. She did have adult supervision, the weather was extraordinarily lousy and reports indicate her plane may have been overloaded. That's a dangerous com­ bination for even the most experienced pilot. HoXvever, being a seven-year-old girl who needs a booster seat to see over the controls and blocks on the pedals to reach them and has only 40 hours flying time and 50 take-offs/landings under her belt are good indica­ tions that she shouldn't be allowed to fly, and such inexpe­ rience may have led to the crash. Now, the Federal Aviation Administration is consider­ ing the thought of preventing children from flying at all. Also, Congress is stepping in to put a final stop to this prac­ tice. Her mother, although obviously distraught, sica died the way she wanted to, happily flying- s e ^ be right, judging from articles written before and a te accident, she was an amazing girl. . , ej, Although I'm not one to tell others how to ra'sewor(j kids, I think these parents apparently didn't know t e ^ ^ "no."

You sit out here on campus and think great thoughts," said Borkowski of his joyful day. "It hasn't changed much (siitce I was a college student)." Borkowski was glad to be out of the office and away from his respon­ sibilities, which include numerous meetings and conferences. He's also glad that Harkins would be left to deal with a particularly recent problem. "He can answer all of the phone calls I'm getting about Jesse Helms." At 2 p.m., Borkowski went into the ROTC building and completed an obstacle that would leave just about anyone scared stiff.

(Photos by Steven p.m., when the two of them traded back, Harkins assumed the everyday duties of the Chancellor. He had five meetings, one inter­ view, and lunch at the Broyhill with Vice Chancellor for Student Develop­ ment Greg Blimling, Barbara Daye and Bob Feid, Associate Vice Chancel­ lors for Student Development. Harkins, a political science major from Centreville, Va. said that Chan­ cellor Borkowski was lucky that they switched on a Monday. "I'm taking 21 hours this semester, but fortunately for the Chancellor I only had two classes today," says Harkins. "But I did send him rappelling and to the firing range." Harkins serves as chief of staff for Student Government and says that he was impressed by how much the ad­ ministration is involved with student fife, "Duripg my meetings, 1 discussed several student issues with the admin­ istrators," says Harkins. "We talked about Helms, parking decks, the aca­ demic support building, and small group housing." Harkins says that while he en­ joyed being Chancellor for the Day, he is ready to be a student again. "Most people don't realize how hard the Chancellor works for our University," says Harkins. "He genuinely cares for ASU and its students." President of the ASU Senior Committee Clifton Williams, arranged the Chancellor For the Day. "We just really appreciate Chancellor Borkowski being a good sport and agreeing to participate." unites the world in dance Not only are the dance routines extraordinary, but the unique cos­ tumes really add flair to the perfor­ mance.

While Chancellor Borkowski was out in the sunshine rappelling off Var­ sity Gym, senior Mike Harkins was stuck in the office meeting with im­ portant Appalachian officials, reading mail and returning phone calls. Harkins was selected as this year's Student Chancellor For the Day. Harkin's name was chosen from a drawing of Seniors who made a con­ tribution to the ASU Foundation. Harkins' entire day was mapped out for him by his secretary Carolyn.

Before rappelling, Borkowski was apprehensive from fear and the pain of a pulled hamstring. "This is not good," said Borkowski. "Yes, I'm apprehensive! This is the craziest thing I've ever agreed to do." Borkowski surpassed everyone's expectation by rappelling twice. After he was done, all apprehensions had left his mind. "(It was) kind of exhilarating,' says Borkowski. "It was a lot better than I thought. I feel a lot better." Members of the ROTC were proud of Borkowski, who said he would repel again if given the chance. Borkowski would like to not only trade places with a student for the day, but maybe try swapping jobs with a faculty member, from a cafeteria worker to a professor. "It was a clearly interesting day," says Borkowski. "I learned a lot." Many of the costumes are origi­ nals from the people whose music and dance Aman performs. Glass says, "We travel sometimes to rather remote lo­ cations to obtain them from those who make and wear that clothing." This is often difficult because in many coun­ tries the people are no longer wear­ ing their traditional garments. Some­ times museums will donate costumes so the company can recreate them and on occasion, immigrant families will also donate a costume or piece to their collection. Many students had a hard time deciding which dance was their favor­ ite. Sherrie E. Varner, a graduate stu­ dent from Lex­ ington, says, "I think the Transcaucasian Republics dance is very nice." During this per­ formance the dancers sup­ plied a rich sound, and the women used a canopy to dance under and around. The origin of this distinctive genre may be traced to the custom of con­ fining a new khan of their own. In more recent times, the silk cloth has come to rep­ resent a wedding canopy, beneath which the women glide gracefully al­ most floating. This dance represents those found in Armenia, Azerbaidjan and Georgia. After the show at Farthing Audi­ torium, some students were taken aback by the extremely touching per- Aman performs dances from around the world complete with native clothing. Two dancers perform the silent dance of Bosnia (left). Appalachian culture is another aspect of the Aman's performance (right).

But at least they were the only Mudhoney. If you miss the old Mudhoney as do I, then you might like As Good as Dead, by Local H, another (sigh) slacker/power punk pop outfit with (sigh) howling vocals and (sigh) stripped-down riffs. I wouldn't be sigh­ ing so much if these guys were a bit more innovative. Singer Scott Lucas sings and plays the guitar and bass simultaneously via a modified guitar run both through a bass and guitar amp. Other than this do-it-yourself novelty, there isn't much else very original to speak of on this record. In fact, what catches the listener's ear is the astounding simi­ larity between Lucas's voice and that of Mudhoney"s Mark Arm. There is also Lucas's eerie vocal likeness to Kurt Cobain. This is not to say that Local H lack talent. Drummer Joe Daniels is a rock solid powerhouse, and the music is always clean and tight. Plus the record has fantastically clear production. Lucas's voice is also quite versatile, sounding different from song to song. His guitar riffs are smooth and highenergy, ranging from juicy distortion to thick jangly clean tones. The songs are also well-written hook monsters, with few exceptions. This is what makes As good as Dead so frustrating for those of us who grew up on the Seattle sound; the record isn't bad, it's just been done before. These guys have the potential to go far if they could just escape the grip of their obvious influences. And then there are those excep­ tions: (From "Hi-Fivin MF") "You crass fat ass (repeat 16 times)/You hi-fivin m f (repeat 8 times)Abu (re­ peat 8 times). Profound, huh? That's half the second song. After hearing nearly five minutes of this, it takes a leap of faith to keep on listening. The wait can be worth it, how­ ever. There is "Lovey Dovey," an an­ them for the romantically uninvolved who want to puke at the sight of a couple of idiots cuddling for the world to see. There is also "No Problem," a mainly acoustic number where Lucas's voice really shines in a mellower reg­ ister. Lucas probably wanted to scream, however, when he heard the guitar riff to the Smashing Pumpkins' "1979," (same chords) but at least this similarity was coincidence. Local H is at their best on "Noth­ ing Special" with its strangely ironic yet completely honest lyrics: "I know I'm nothing special/1 know I'm noth­ ing great/I know I'm nothing differ­ ent/But I just don't feel the same/ What's wrong with me?" Well, Scott, you just answered your own question.

Over the years, professional sports have become a long drawn out procedure of bore­ dom. Games have become somewhat predict­ able and lost the attention of many fans. Enter the "bad" of professional sports. Guys like Rodman, Cox, Deion Sanders (yes, that is how he spells it now) and any member or former member of any Florida State or Mi­ ami football team and ail of sudden, there is some fun back into professional sports. De­ pending on your idea of fun, these guys save a lot of jobs. How do they do that you ask? Simple, they sell lots of tickets for their respec­ tive franchises. People flock to games to see if their fea­ tured "bad" guy will blow up and cause some problem for league officials. Fans may com­ plain, boo, cheer, scream and yell those nasty four-letter words and everything else at this particular athlete. The bottom line remains, they are there in the arenas emptying their wallets while they do it. The question remains, "Why do league officials put up with such immature and un­ professional behavior?" Once again, the an­ swer is simple, they have bills to pay them­ selves. Let's take a fairly simple look into how this little scheme works for league officials. If a team has an average attendance of say 20,000 fans per game without a team's "bad" guy playing, they still may win. Now, put the "bad" guy into the line-up, have him throw an elbow, head-butt, clothesline, figure-four leg lock or whatever he does best and the team may still win. This time, they do it in front of 22,000 people. The basic equation here is simple, more people equal more money. Personally, my favorite players in the NBA, NFL and baseball are the non conforming, stat second place in the shot put, with throws of 43.20m and 14.01m respectively. Also, in the javelin, Rachel Olander, Christine Ziemba, and Erica Bahry finished one, two, three to round out the Lady Mountaineers great meet. On the men's side, ASU once again had a big showing from Robert "Poose" Johnson to lead the Mountaineers to the Southern Con­ ference Trophy. Johnson had a first place fin­ ish in both the high jump and triple jump with jumps of 2.18m and 15.23m respectively. Johnson also had a second place finish in the 200m dash and a third place finish in the long jump. Other notable performances came from Chris Huffstickler in the 3000m steeplechase, Todd Poremba in the pole vault, and Rich Latta in the discus, all of which placed first in their respective events. Congratulations are in or­ der for your 1996 Southern Conference Cham­ pions, the Appalachian State University men's track team. Baseball drops weekend series Mike Daniels Sports Editor The ASU baseball team probably thought that they would have a fun weekend, being that they were finishing off their longest honestand of the season, playing UNCGreensboro and The Citadel. Unfortunately for the Apps, the week­ end did not turn out so good. The Moun­ taineers lost their game to UNC-Greensboro and then dropped both ends of their doubleheader to The Citadel. ASU lost to UNC-Greensboro on Wednes day by the score of 10-4. The Spartans were able to put together big innings in the Appalachian second, third and fourth to go up 9-4 now stands at by the fifth. From 25-17 overall there the Spartans relied on their relief heading into pitching to seal the their regular win. Appalachian's season finale only offense came in the third inning, at Wake when they scored all four runs. Of course Forest. it was the Spartans who were more responsible for the offense than the App's bats. UNCG gave up four walks, an error and a balk while only allow­ ing two ASU hits. Taking the loss for the Mountaineers was starter Scott Musgrave, who pitched two in­ nings and allowed two earned runs. Musgrave dropped to 2-4 on the year. On Sunday, Appalachian played two with The Citadel, who came out swinging. The Bulldogs scored 10 in the first game and 12 in the nightcap, to take both games of the series 10-6 and 12-0. In the first game, The Citadel put up a four run fourth to take a 7-4 lead, from which they would cruise to a 10-6 victory. The Bull­ dogs were able to rough up starter Norm Vest for five earned runs in three and a third in­ nings before he was pulled for reliever Jason Crews, who also let up three earned runs. Vest took the loss and dropped to 5-4. At the plate Appalachian was led by des­ ignated hitter Scott Musgrave and catcher/ first baseman Scott Garrett, who each had three hits and one RBI. In the second game, Appalachian's usu­ ally potent offense disappeared. The Bull­ dogs scored two in the first and tacked on the next 10 over six innings for insurance to win the game 12-0. The Bulldogs got the shutout behind the strong pitching performance of Brian Rogers, who allowed three hits and struck out five in pitching a complete game. Dan Stutzman took the loss for Appala­ chian to drop to 4-1, despite pitching two in­ nings without allowing any earned runs. Appalachian now stands at 25-17 over­ all heading into their regular season finale at Wake Forest. The Mountaineers will then travel to Charleston S.C. for the Southern Conference tournament this weekend.

As long as they are producing on the field or court, what difference does it make. If I was getting paid four or five million dollars a year, I would act like I wanted to also. Let's face it, the actions of most of the "bad" guys are things we all wanted to do to fellow students, former or present employers, family members and roommates. A well placed head-butt (Rodman), the we're number one signal with the wrong finger (Cox), tossing a Gatorade jug (Belle) are all things you have wanted to do to someone, but were afraid to do because they had some type of power over you. The league imposes fines and suspends players who violate the rules. The only prob­ lem is a $5,000 fine to most professional ath­ letes is like a student paying $2 for a pack of Newport's. Suspension of players for a game or two, may be a way to curb some of these outspoken attitudes, for all those who think that is really a way to crack down on this type of behavior, I only have one name for you, Dennis Rodman. The NBA's multiple Kool-Aid colored hair guy has been suspended probably, on the average, two to three time a season over the last three years. "Bad" guys are a valuable and needed component of professional sports. The occa­ sional episodes of mindlessness they produce are nothing compared to what most bring to their respective teams. Owners, players, coaches and even the annoying guy selling cups of warm, flat, sudless beer in the stands ben­ efit from these "attitude/behavioral impaired" players. Once again, the bottom line is these guys bring in a lot of money. Without these guys there would not be nearly as many fans attending games, less money coming in and possibly a lot of out-of-work arena beer sales­ men. EARN $3900 Plus Bonuses!

Their reasons niUuUc mu.^ive traffic >stion, an increased cost to students, eninental degradation and personal safety. The vote on the referendum tool .Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. According to Brett Walters, a memif Students with Voices, a parking deck ause massive congestion on Rivers Street, ers is also concerned that if a deck is built, ,e money that would normally go to the ilCART will go toward the deck. "If the deck is built, the AppalCART Tbe improved," said Walters. He said the will cause less need for improvements, as more frequent routes. He also said a deck will discourage of the AppalCART, when its original purwas to improve the mass transit system. However, Clyde Robbins, physical t administrator, said he does not think the ; will discourage people from using the alCART. Robbins said if the administration were to prohibit people from parking on cam­ pus and made them park elsewhere, it would cause a big inconvenience and as a result people would be forced to take the AppalCART or use another alternative. "We shouldn't force them (students) to take the AppalCART," he said. "We shouldn't take away choices," Robbins said. He does not think a deck will affect ridership either way. "1 here will still be quite a bit of incentive to ride," Robbins said. Robbins also said no money will be taken from the AppalCART. The deck will be funded with money from the steam plant project, along with cash flow from existing registration fees and fines and special event parking. He feels this will be adequate to cover the funding without greatly increasing park­ ing fees and fines. Money will be received from the steam plant project because its expansion eliminated the Stansberry Lot. Since the spaces from the lot were not replaced elsewhere, the general administration has authority to put money into the deck as compensation. Robbins said the report Hayes, Seay, Mattern and Mattern developed contained sug­ gestions for transportation improvements at Appalachian and in the surrounding commu­ nity. The firm had developed a plan for stu­ dents and teachers to pay different costs for parking on various days. "They just proposed alternatives," said Robbins. He does not think they took the other options, like money from the steam plant and special events, into consideration. Robbins said he does not think a deck will create any problems we have not already seen, and that it will give Appalachian flex­ ibility. He said when Appalachian has games and concerts, the deck will offer more oppor­ tunity for people to park closer to their venue and this may cause less congestion. "One deck won't exacerbate t'.o piubiem," he said. "The 400 cars coming in and out would be pretty minor." Robbins said cars may come in and out of the parking areas now without even parking because there may not be a space. If the deck were there, it would eliminate that problem. As for environmental degradation, Robbins said the deck will have minimal im­ pact. According to Robbins, the issue of personal safety should not be a problem be­ cause the security office will be located on the first floor of the deck. He said it will be the safest place on campus. He also pointed out that if a deck is not built, the parking spaces it would offer will have to be placed somewhere else and will still cost money. "People will find a way to drive any­ way and find a place to park legally or ille­ gally," said Robbins. Appalachian grounds crews were busy this week doing some spring cleaning around campus.

Accuracy and Public Service since 1936 Our Soren should have known better opinion... Other solutions to suicide available With Friday's tragic suicide of 19-year-old sopho­ more Bonnie Alice House, The Appalachian would like to take this opportunity to reflect on something even more important than parking decks or diver­ sity; suicide and its alternatives. While there have only been two suicides on our campus in two years, even one suicid.e ever is one too many. Everyday stresses can build up, leading to de­ pression. According to The College Women's Hand­ book, by Rachel Dobkin and Shana Sippy, one in four women will be depressed during her lifetime. And 80 percent of people who take their own life warn someone beforehand, often by using a direct threat or statement. College is undeniably a stressful time in one's life. Involvement in clubs and organizations, aca­ demic pressures and personal relationships all seem to intensify at the same time, often leading to an overwhelming sense that it's all just too much. But this does not have to be the case. Of course, only Bonnie can know why she took her own life. We are not saying that her involve­ ment in school or anything else caused this tragedy. What we are saying is that these seem to be contrib­ uting factors in many college suicides. And we urge anyone who may be considering such a drastic solu­ tion to their problems to seek other means of help. Along with the pressures of college life come so many resources for personal outlet. Friends, of course, offer an obvious source of support. While you may feel you do not want to burden a friend with your troubles, any true friend would be more than willing to lend an ear and help you work through your problems. Even if your friend cannot offer you any answers, just talking about it often lessens an emotional burden. There are also professional sources to turn to when it seems no one can help. RA's, for instance, are given training which helps them deal with resi­ dents who are having trouble. If an RA cannot help you work it out, they can at the very least, refer you to someone else who has more extensive training. Vanessa Urruela Editorials Editor Tabitha Soren showed pretty poor judgement Mon­ day night when she chose to go ahead with her speaking engagement in Farthing Auditorium. Poor woman coughed through the entire thing. I can't claim to have ever been a fan of what I like to call "empty-v," but I was hop­ ing for more from the woman the media has often called the spokesperson for the twentysomething generation. Soren is a bright woman who seems to have consistently been in the right place at the right time. Oprah Winfrey once said, "Luck is simply prepara­ tion meeting opportunity." Lucky for Soren that her scholarship to NYU helped her achieve the suc­ cess she has worked towards for the past few years. I hope all my journalistic peers someday enjoy the same success. I don't have some sick, sadistic, personal prob- —— lem with Soren. What I do have a problem with is speakers selected to come to this campus and are paid in­ sanely to do so who don't have anything pertinent or sig­ nificant to say. Does Dr. Taylor, this year's Convocation speaker come to mind? Sure he had a speech with him, but it stayed in his pocket the entire time and he rambled on forever. Soren didn't really ramble, she just didn't organize her thoughts into anything easily comprehensible. She mentioned that she was getting over the flu a few times and apologized for not having all the information she needed to answer the questions people asked. Prepara­ tion is the least we should expect from speakers who get paid some fat cash for two hours' work. The one thing she did seem to know right offhand was her address at MTV which she repeated several times, ril print it here for you in case you desperately want it: 1515 Broadway, 23rd Floor, N.Y., N.Y. 10036. Don't get too excited kids. This is just the general address for MTV If you send something, cross your fingers and your toes and hope that she actually gets it some time this century. Soren began her presentation with a few wise-cracks and a joke or two. She then launched into what became a The Appalachian is published every Hiesday and Thursday of the academic year with the exception of selected holidays and breaks.

I just wish she had been sman enough t ' know her limits and realize that as sick as sh 'rt been, she just didn't have the energy to cam 5 through with the speaking engagement. ___ The one thing that I did totally agree with was her answer to my question- "How do you feel about the fact that you have been labeled a spokesperson for the twentysomething generation?" Soren laughed and said, "Well, the people who be lieve that are older and just don't know what they're talking about. Young people don't buy into that.

She even had some MTV footage to show us and that too was a bore (not to mention the sound in Far­ thing was worse than it's ever been). Soren didn't seem to have anything fresh or interesting to say. The best part of the presentation was the question and answer session which quickly became nothing more Appalachian deserves praise e\ yy " The Counseling and Psychological Services Cen­ ter, located in the Miles Annas Student Support Build­ ing, more commonly known as the Post Office, is available to help, as well. Their office hours are daily from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. If someone needs help at other times, the Center has an emergency line set up through campus se­ curity. Students need only call security who will get in touch with the counselor on call. The Counseling Center has six full-time counselors, who offer over 70 years of combined experience. If you have a friend who has talked about com­ mitting suicide, take it seriously. "There is no such thing as overreacting to a suicide," say Dobkin and Sippy. Breaking your promise to keep silent about a friend's threats to hurt herself only shows your car­ ing. If the person is threatening to hurt themselves immediately, call 911. If you can, keep the person talking until help arrives. Finally, we would like to offer our sympathies to Bonnie's family and friends. The tragic death of a loved one is never easy, but seems especially hard when it is a suicide. The Counseling Center is also available to all who have been affected by her death. If you are having trouble coping with the suicide, please cali them. than a barage of somewhat irrelevant queries.

Many say that women in the media are portrayed mostly as thin, beautiful mod­ els. There isn't much complaining by men about male images, although these images are just as harmful as the female ones. I have several com­ plaints about negative male images in the media, specifically those that appear in men's magazines. These images reinforce some gender roles that I also disagree with. If you pick up a men's maga­ zine, such as Esquire or GQ, you will find male images inside. Most of these images may be found in ad­ vertisements, although some maybe found in the pictures that go along with the articles. Almost all the men in the magazines are models with perfect bodies and chisled faces. These images of men are what I like to call "mimbo" (male bimbo) images. Males are subliminally told that they should look like these mimbo images and develop unhealthy obsessions with their appearance. These men might exercise too much, get an eating disorder and/or take steroids to look like the men in the ads. On a side note, I don't mean to imply that all male models are stupid. I simply mean that the intellectual sides of men are not portrayed in most ads. Many people will tell you that men just don't care about their appearance. These people are lying. A study in the Oct. 1995 issue of Reader's Digest states that, "94 percent of men surveyed would like to change some as­ pect of their physical appearance." It later adds that the majority of men said they wanted to be more muscular. The University of Michigan's School of Public Health found that 40 percent of men surveyed wanted to lose weight. Forty-five percent said they wanted to gain weight. It's not just the images in these magazines that are harmful. Some of the articles are harmful as well. For example, Esquire ran an article called "How to be a Man, 1994." First of all, if any man needs an article to tell him how to be a man, then that man is a gullible, pathetic moron. Second, the context of the article is stereotypical of men and reinforces the gender expectations society has for men. The article criticizes the sensitive, liberated man and undermines his manhood. It says that the sensitive man is, "communicative and non­ competitive, secure enough to both support women as they assumed their place in the world and to hap­ pily compensate for their absence at home, basically a woman with a penis..." The previous statement im­ plies that all sensitive men are, "women with penises," and that men who stay at home are the same. This view is clearly wrong because it reinforces the stereotypical roles of a gender-dominated society. These gender roles have expectations like women should stay home and do house­ work, and men should go to work and be the breadwin­ ners of a family Some families may fit these gender ex­ pectations, but some don't. Many familes have wives that work and husbands that stay home, or have both work­ ing. Women and men are capable of doing housework and should equally distribute household chores. Although men's magazines are fine for some, they are certainly not in my eyes. These magazines encourage men to conform to society's standards of manhood instead of being individuals. I may be a little off-base with my interpretation of magazines, but I think my interpretation is as valid as anyone else's. Tim Nicholson v * Columnist I'd like to talk about what I like about Appalachian1 State, namely the students, mountains, community and mostly the professors and the administration. They are' the best. If you read the editorials, you know I have addressed many problems. Examples include parking, the administration's lack of an ear for the Student Government1 Association and Association of Student Governments, thepre-math test, the grading system and the oppression of youth in the school and governmental system. Did even1 one person try to silence me, ever? Did one person ever try to retaliate or even say an unkind word? No! It shocked1 and relieved me that those who could have felt attacked1 only treated me better if anything! They listened, showed1 understanding, even agreement and showed me respect1 and affection. These people have become heroes for me. They know who they are, but there are too many to name, They are everywhere at Appalachian. Yes, problems still bother all of us, and we have a duty1 to speak out against wrongs. I have complained louder1 and more than most, but the time has come to balance all that. If you take the whole ball of wax, Appalachian de­ serves the highest praise. I would give each person who helped me a million dollars if I could. Maybe because of all their help, someday that will be possible. I don't mean we should not try to make our Appala­ chian even better. Instead, it means trying to make it bel­ ter is important because of how valuable it is. From the moment I applied to Appalachian, the red carpet came roll­ ing out. The secretaries were the first to go out of their1 way to help me. They treated me like family, for no reasonexcept kindness and high standards of respect and carefof the students.

I offer an alternative to the parking deck. Spend the five million dollars on alternative transportation. I'm sure that AppalCART could make some improvements with some of that money. Expand State Farm [parking lot] or build other lots off-campus that could be used as "com muter" lots and provide a shuttle that ran to campus and back every 20 minutes. Build bike paths and walkways that might encourage more people to walk to class. The parking deck might relieve parking problems for a few years, but it is not the solution. As this school growthere will more cars to deal with. In ten years or so, we will be facing the same parking problems again. A park ing deck now might cost us around five million.

More reently the Husbians migrated to New York to rind exposure. Today, the Boone scene has dwindled iovvn to a handful of dedicated bands who jte not preoccupied with finding instant fame. Though the scene is not overflowing with lands as it was a couple of years ago, the ones ^at remain and have formed since are the jeam of the crop. Some of these bands in­ clude Agent Ink, 800 Octane, Ellery Jett, Hidjen Progression and Sticky. It seems like the (Boone) music scene peaked out about a year and a half ago," says Barton Carroll, guitarist and singer in Ellery Jett. At that time Carroll was in a band called Silly, assist Dan Howell was in Marblehead and Todd Reid played drums in the Husbians. All have since left these bands to form Ellery Jett. The band s influences include Jawbreaker, Fugazi, All, Shiner, Slint and the Replacements. According to Carroll, they have garnered comparisons to Husker Du with their edgy rock sound. Ellery Jett also possesses an undeniable pop feel within this sound. Although they have only been together a short period of time, they play frequendy in Boone. Their next gig is at a party on April 20. Carroll sums up Ellery Jett: "(We're) three brainless guys trying to make something good with nothing to work with." STICKY Perhaps the most prominent band in Boone is Sticky, a poppy rock band who capti­ vates the audience with their charisma and sense of humor. The members of the band are: Dave Alston, bass; John Hawkins, vocals and guitar; Jon Leeds, drums; and Chip Taylor, vocals and guitar. All members attended Appalachian. Their influences include the Beatles, the Replacements and the Velvet Underground. They take this blend of pop sensibility and cutting edge sound to form the unique Sticky sound, as evidenced on their CD, Gagwaonn "The indie-rock, punk/pop schtick just isn't paying the bills," says Taylor, "so we're cur­ rently raising funds by writing jingles for Mrs. Paul's frozen seafood products. (We're) also planning a tour of women's prisons in the fall." Before they embark on this trek, they'll be playing at the Klondike on April 26 with Bucket (of Richmond). 800 OCTANS Once upon a time, there was a punk rock band in Boone named Hoss. They rocked places like the Klondike and the Pub on a regular basis. One day, they changed their name to 800 Octane and kept rocking. 800 Octane consists of Eric Ackerson on rhythm guitar; Dave Chaney on bass and vocals; Paul Corbett on lead guitar, vocals and backing vocals; and Bryan Walls on drums and backing vocais. All m-tubers attend Appalachian or have graduated. Their influences include every one from the Ramones and the Misfits to REM and the Beatles. They have one CD, Swank, which was released earlier this year. Their next gig is on April 27 at East Hall. 800 Octane takes their music to the audience in an aggressive but light hearted way. "It's just about having fun," says Chaney, "and paying tribute to Elvis." "More people need to be in bands making a lot of noise." - Barton Carroll of Ellery Jett AGENT INN Agent Ink is a relatively new band in Boone. Their lineup has been constant for only a few months, members are: Mike Allen, bass; Matt Cook, guitar; Rob Gaddy, guitar and vocals; Matt Harter, drums; Evan Howe, vocals and guitar. Allen, Gaddy and Howe are currently students at Appalachian. Their influences include Radiohead, Posterchildren and Smashing Pumpkins. Prom these sounds, nt Ink has blended heavy guitars and powerful rhythm work with well-crafted, bluesy solos and wailvocal lines into a very accessible modern rock sound. Agent Ink doesn't play much in Boone, but does play in the area frequently. Though you may not have ance to see them in Boone, be on the lookout for any gigs in Western North Carolina, such as their vat how at the Alternative Pub in Asheville on May 23- They also have a demo available through the band tbers. •ember "We're a rock band," says Gaddy. "With a creamy nougat center," adds Howe. HIDDEN PROGRESSION Another band making waves in Boone is Hidden Progression, consisting of Joel Keller on guitar and vocals; Brad Mehder on bass; and Davidson Wicker on drums. They migrated to the area from Greensboro to attend Appalachian. Their influences include Rush, Phish, James Brown and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. They take the diverse styles of these artists and blend them into a style they describe as progressive soul. "We try to do something a little different (from other bands in the area)," says Wicker. Hidden Progression has a self-titled CD out that was released last fall. They are setting up a tour for this summer to promote the disc. They will also be playing in the Battle of the Bands at the Klondike on April 18. We turn the tables on Tabitha Grandfather offers hikers a good time • Members of the Appalachian media interview MTV anchor Steven Mackay ^porter Before Tabitha Soren spoke to and an­ gered questions from over a hundred Appaachian students on Monday night, she gave a J^ate interview to members of the Appala®ian media.

Soren says she is not the voice of "Gen­ eration X" as some have dubbed her, and does not have the pulse of America youth in her hand. However, Soren says she tries to use her status to give people who are not usually heard from a forum to speak out. She has talked to a wide range of people, from small time col­ lege rock bands to refugees in war-torn Bosnia. "That's what I get the most pleasure out of," says Soren. "People are always handing me tapes or telling me about some local con­ flict, and I listen. That's how you stay in touch." Soren calls MTV's "Rock the Vote: Choose or Lose" campaign a success both in 1992 and for the upcoming elections. Started in 1992, when Soren suggested that MTV cover the elec­ tion with a serious news approach, rather than the cynical and sarcastic form that makes up most of the popular cable channel. Her idea paid off, the series won a Peabody Award for election news coverage. "MTV contributed to getting young people excited and helping them feel like their opin­ ion mattered," says Soren. "I think in '96, the candidates are aware of MTV's power, but I don't get the feeling either one of them are courting the youth vote heavily. That's some­ thing I would like to address." Soren says accusations of MTV being po­ litically biased are false. She welcomes accus­ ers to show proof, but says they tend to fail, especially on coverage of the presidential elec­ tions. According to Soren, in 1992, she was fol­ lowed by a press corp who looked for any hint of bias in her news reports. "I don't think MTV elected a president or got someone else out of office," says Soren. "I don't think they could do it this time around. I wouldn't be comfortable if that was the case." The pressure of critics doesn't bother Soren. "I... accept the fact that people associate rock-n-roll, and therefore MTV with a liberal, wild lifestyle," says Soren. "I'm comfortable with the scrutiny, because I think what we do is fair." The 28-year-old Soren says she is lucky to be where she is. A New York University graduate, Soren worked at a local ABC news station in Vermont, CNN in Atlanta and ABC's "World News Tonight" with Peter Jennings. Currently she works at MTV NBC's "Nightly News," 'Today Show" and "Dateline," and is a contributing writer-columnist for "USA Weekly" and "The New York Times." However, Soren isn't worried about where her next job will come from. She says she is content with her present position, and that worrying about the future will only ruin the joys of her job. "The minute I stopped wor­ rying about where I was going to be in five years was when everything fell together," says Soren. When asked who she looked up to in the media industry, Soren mentioned Bill Moyer ("Politically Incorrect") and Barbara Walters, who Soren describes as a maverick in the field of journalism, paving the way for other women to follow. Soren says she can easily imagine herself doing something else other than anchoring, traveling, speaking and writing full time. "Hell yeah, I'd be a damn good house­ wife!" (NOTE: A.J. Marley, host of "Crosstalk" on The App radio station, contributed greatly to this article. The entire interview should air on 95.5 soon.) Ryan Price Reporter It's a gorgeous Boone day. Seventy de­ grees, not a cloud in the sky, and believe it or not, it's the weekend. Instead of doing the usual like Price Park or the rock colony, grab some friends and head up to Grandfather Mountain. Granted, it will take some money to get in, but a buck is definitely worth it. During April Grandfather offers "dollar days" to stu­ dents with a college ID. Normally admission is nine dollars, which is kind of steep for most non-Range Rover driving students, so it's best to take advantage of it while you can. Grandfather, which used to be called 'Tanawha" (Great Hawk) by the Cherokee, not only has the famous mile-high swinging bridge, but also a biosphere, a weather sta­ tion, and rare animal habitats. There are many things to see and do for a day, the least of which is hiking. Due to its high elevation, Grandfather experiences some extreme weather. In Feb­ ruary 1995,175 mph winds were recorded. On an average, 100 plus mph winds are re­ corded at least five times a year. This season Grandfather recorded its highest snowfall ever, with 116 inches. This broke the mark set in 1959-60. "We never see Grandfather page 8 (L - R): Dana M. McLelland, Mike E. Plansker and D. Neal Hall (Photo by Ryan Price) ] �Page 8 The Appalachian is Grandfather continued from page 7 thought that record would be broke," says Grandfather Mountain Vice-Presi­ dent Harris Prevost. Before going on a hike, you should always bring a couple quarts of water, a good pair of boots with ankle support, food, a camera, sunblock and sufficient warm clothing. Due to the wind and high elevation, it is possible to succumb to hypothermia even in warm weather. There are several different trails leading to and around Grandfather, with the best ones being the Profile trail and the Grandfather trail. The Profile runs about twelve miles round trip. Hikers start at the bottom of highway 105 and turn around at the swinging bridge. It's also possible to shuttle cars and only hike one way, for those less inclined to spend all day outdoors. This trail allows hikers to encoun­ ter the whole Grandfather experience; forest, creeks, rocks and peaks. Once you hit the ridgeline from your ascent, you come upon the highest point in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Calloway Peak at an elevation of 5964 feet. On a clear day with some binoculars, viewing the Charlotte skyline is not out of the question. The Profile will definitely provide a good workout, but to experienced hikers it is considered moderate. If "The Profile's a fun and relaxing hike," says experienced hiker Mike E. Plansker of Raleigh. "It's relaxing Watauga View, which is a small over­ look area. This trail doesn't go all the way to Calloway, but it is possible to make it there. The length to Watauga is 4.6 miles round trip. It may be rough at times, but for anyone in decent shape it.shouldn't be a problem. "The thing I liked the most was the severity of the trail," says senior accounting major D. Neal Hall. "It wasn't just flatlands and trails, you have to climb up ropes and lad­ ders." On the Grandfather trail is Macrae's Peak. Atop this perch are the best views on the Blue Ridge. You may look in every direction and your vision is not obscured in any way. In 1898, Sierra Club founder John Muir was so taken by the view that he began to jump about and sing. While you may not react as dramatically as Grandfather Mountain offers hikers some of the most spectacular Muir, it is quite spectacular. views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

The only eyesore upon the hori­ zon is the horrendous Sugartop, which stands 10 stories above the ridgeline on top of Sugar Mountain. Some people refer to it as "Sugarloaf, which if you use your imagination, you may be able to figure out what they are referring to (the key word being "loaf').

Most only have one wing, but they tire able to reproduce and have healthy hatchlings. "I thought it was nice that a habi­ tat was created for the eagles, instead of having them destroyed," says Hall.

On April 13, Melissa com­ peted in the Sea Ray Relays in Knoxville, Tenn where she tied Levonna Floreal, who won an Olympic Silver Medal in the 1988 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, in a time of 13.03. This accomplishment put her one step closer to that Olympic dream. This mark qualified her for the 1996 U. S. Track and Field Olympic Trials to be held in Atlanta on June 13-23. If she qualifies in the top three and meets the Olympic standards, her Olympic dream will become a much anticipated reality. Former coach and current supporter, ASU track coach Mike Weaver said in an interview, " Melissa is definitely committed to the dream of making it on the 1996 U.S. Olympic Team. She is not only looking forward to the 1996 team, but the 2000 team as well." He continued, " The hard part now is bringing all of her natural talent and determination together and mak­ ing that dream become a reality. Melissa will definitely give it her all." Morrison currently resides in Boone and is employed by the State Employment Credit Union. She works out daily with ASU track teams and volunteers as an assistant girls track coach. Appalachian has a few more Olympic hopefuls to cheer on. Former Appalachian stu­ dent Meg Wairen, now Meg .aster, has her sights set on qualifying for the Olympics in the javelin. At Appalachian, Foster was a four-time All- American, and continues to work out with Coach Weaver on a part-time basis. Other hopefuls are Beth Burleson in the heptathalon, and current ASU track star Robert "Poose" Johnson, who is trying to qualify for the Olym­ pics in the triple-jump. Good luck to all the Appalachian Olympic hopefuls. pjjYanbrough bporter Sports Feature is lcids, many young athletes dream . in the Olympics. For some, the be' is a little stronger than others.

Melissa also finished as • Southern Conference Outdoor ChamK in the 100m hurdles, long jump, triple 200m dash, and 100m dash. After feting for ASU in the Southern Conace Tournament, Melissa went on to ppete at the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor snals where she placed third in the or 55m hurdles and ninth in the 100m „oor hurdles.

The home team proved to be not­ orious hosts in handing ASU their first uierence loss of the season by a score of It was the Mocs talented singles players tikilled the Apps in this one. First singles an Pedro Lopes went down to UTC's Patrick tason 6-1, 6-4. ASU also lost matches at and, fourth and sixth singles. The bright spots for Appalchian were bud Zapata and Zach Sharpe. Zapata ( —• ' * •• won at second singles and first doubles with Lopes. Sharpe won his singles match at the fifth spot and his third doubles match with Martin Zabor. The loss must have lit a fire under the team because on Sunday they returned home and beat Furman for the first time in almost 20 years by the score of 4-3. Leading the way in this one for Appala­ chian was Lope?, who won his singles and doubles match, and Sharpe, who again won both matches that he played. Also coming up with big wins for Appalachian were second singles man Greg May, who won his match in three sets, and sixth singles man Frank Connor, who lost his solo performance but teamed up with Sharpe for the third doubles win which gave the Mountaineers the doubles point. Appalachian, now 14-6, will try to con­ tinue their winning ways in the Southern Con­ ference tournament in Greenville, S.C. this weekend. • Lopes Mike Daniels Sports Editor Sports Commentary Have you ever been really bored one night and decided to watch something on TV that you would normally never even pause at while channel surfing? Every so often I find that I'll get like this and end up watching professional wres­ tling. My favorite thing about these prescripted, melodramatic farces is the refer­ ees. Besides being momentarily blind every time the bad guy cheats, I like how they al­ ways end up knocked out in the middle of the ring while the two wrestlers throw tables at each other outside the ropes. In fact, it seems like wrestling referees take more of a beating than any other ref­ erees in the world of sports. At least they did up until a month ago. Since then, NBA refs have been on the receiving end of more head-butts, punches, and shoves than Hulk Hogan. What's next, Charles Barkley hitting one in the back with a folding chair? The way things are going in the Naughty Behavior Association these days, that wouldn't sur­ prise me. Last week, the Laker's Magic Johnson became the third player in the last four weeks to be ejected for intentionally mak­ ing contact with a reieree. Prior to that, teammate Nick Van Exel was thrown out for punching a ref into the scorer's table. And everybody remembers the Bulls' Dennis Rodman's infamous head-bashing with ref­ i i. i • i. . . - J AL; . J eree Ted Bernhardt which started this trend. It seems like this problem is becoming something of an epidemic in the NBA. What ever happened to the days when athletes had some respect for the men in the striped suits? I think it went out the door the day NBA players became the highest paid and most ego­ tistical of all professional athletes. The large egos occur in part because of the money, and in part because the NBA and its sponsors pro­ mote basketball players as individuals atid su­ perstars more than athletes from other "team" sports. To quell this rising problem the league is going to have to do more than hand out token wrist-slaps like they did with Rodman and Van Exel. The Worm sat out six games and took a $228,000 hit to the wallet. Van Exel will miss seven games and lose $25,000 in fines along with his paycheck for those seven games. Al­ though it sounds like a lot of money to the average Joe, the NBA's attempt to hurt Rod­ man and Van Exel in the pocket is a joke for both players. If the league was really serious about sending a message to players who go after refs they would have suspended both players for the rest of the season along with steeper fines. As it is, behavior like this will continue to go on in the NBA because no one is standing up to these self-indulgent "superstars." Coaches have had no effect on these selfcentered babies. In fact, I dare anyone read­ ing this article to try and name more than half a dozen NBA head coaches and the team they work for. Its hard because strong coaches, still the driving force of college basketball, have taken a back seat to the players in the NBA. Look at Don Nelson, one of the league's premier coaches who lost his job with the Golden State Warriors, mostly because of a whiny rookie named Chris Weber. An even __ „!/> . . a h M Kn " K i m nrt'c E better example .would be fChicago's Phil Jackson, whose stars, Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, seem to pick and choose when they feel like playing. General managers and owners have likewise not been able to put a stop to the shameless behavior of their employees. In fact, it's the players who seem to be con­ trolling the front office. Remember Alonzo Mourning, the al­ ready overpaid whiner who forced the Hor­ nets to trade him to Miami because he wanted to be paid as though he were the greatest player in the league? Even more appalling was the Milwau­ kee Bucks' Glenn Robinson's demand for $100 million when he came out of college two years ago. Robinson would have liter­ ally controlled the team, eating up the club's entire budget so that he would make enough to eventually buy the club outright. Scary thought, being that he had never played a single game in the league when he made these demands. Robinson and other players around the league would do wise to take a look at the Big Dog's alma mater, Purdue. The Boilermakers earned themselves a number one seed in the NCAA tournament and a top 10 ranking this year with some­ thing foreign to the NBA these days; teamplay. You didn't know the name of one player on their team, but you knew their strongwilled coach Gene Ready. And you can be sure that if one of Ready's players decided to rough up the ref because of call he didn't like, that uie coach would not even think twice before throwing that player off the team. And its that kind of discipline that keeps college basketball the dignified game that the NBA has not been for a long time. 1 - . AA — Sharpe Quick Cash Just Got Quicker!

Appalachian police said House, 19, ed herself in a practice room of the mujuilding, and was found by students who •nipted to revive her through CPR until ,jaga County paramedics arrived. Upon t arrival, paramedics pronounced House "House committed suicide between 7 p.m. and 7:45 p.m., when university police received the call," University Police Investiga­ tor Capt. Larry C. Foster said. Foster said that a suicide note was left, but at this point, no motive has been iden­ tified in House's suicide. The note was found outside the practice room, along with her bookbag. According to Foster, Appalachian does not have a high suicide rate, and this is the first suicide since the fall of 1994 when Joshua J. Klein committed suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning. Dr. Donald L. Sanz, director of the counseling and psychological service center, has arranged several meetings with friends and acquaintances of House throughout the week­ end, to discuss the repercussions that suicide places on others. "Our role became one of support and help to those involved or touched by the sui­ cide," said Sanz. "We are inviting students to talk with friends and people who are support­ ive to them about the incident, and want the students to know that the counseling center is an available resource to help students under­ stand why students choose suicide." A visitation was arranged by the fam­ ily last night at Rich & Thompson Funeral Home in Burlington, and the funeral services were held in Burlington today at 11 a.m. The classroom of tomorrow is here, today. Using over $112,000 in grants, do­ nations and sponsorships, the College of Busi­ ness has converted 2016 Raley into a fully computerized instruction room which has been affectionately dubbed the "classroom of the future." Designed for CIS students, this new classroom features 32 powerful laptop com­ puters, all of which are connected to the Internet. The instructor station includes a regular PC with a CD-ROM drive and a com­ puterized overhead projector allowing stu­ dents to follow along more easily with teach­ ers from their own laptop. "They can do exactly what they are instructed to do right at their laptops," said Dr. Albert Harris, associate decision sciences professor. The laptops were purchased using grant money from the National Science Foun­ dation. The $53,000 grant was divided be­ tween the College of Business and the Depart­ ment of Mathematical Sciences, who each re­ ceived $26,500. The software for the new computers was obtained by a $18,900 grant from computer giant Microsoft. In addition to grant money, funding for the classroom was donated by a group of sponsors consisting of Burlington Industries, Lowe's Hardware, Springs Industries and the Science Applications International Corpora­ tion. Each corporation invested more than $15,000 in the new computer facility. By donating the software these com­ panies use on a daily basis, these companies can hire Appalachian students already famil­ iar with the software. "These companies have a vested in­ terested in investing in this new facility," said Harris. "We get the latest technology on cam­ pus and in return, they get students who are already familiar with the software." Hornets' Shinn offers advice for success seat and he recently passed away."

In the last two weeks, 1,500 students have been turned down. "This year is the highest turn-down rate ever," said Helm. Most of the students who were de­ nied were qualified and these are the people who will be putting pressure on Appalachian to grow. The pressure may also come from the state, and Appalachian will have to sub­ mit to it. "We are at a great size now," said Helm. "But we are aware we are running out of green space." Equity funding for Appalachian was a concern for David Edmisten, a member of the board of governors. He said Appalachian is third from the bottom in the North Carolina school system in being equity funded. According to Misty Rumbley, SGA chair for public affairs, equity funding is done so that all schools are assured they get the money they need. Studies were recently completed which compared UNC schools in four differ­ ent categories. The first category was an intrastate analysis which compared North Carolina schools of the same level to each other. A regional analysis compared six types of four-year institutions among the 15 states which make up the southern regional education board. State appropriations and tuition of each school were studied. A national analysis also compared state appropriations and tuition for each UNC institution with an average rate for its previ­ ous selected peer. The last category was an assimilation analysis. The allocation formula for four other states was used to determine potential budget distribution based on enrollment and mission related factors. Edmisten said the president of the university system will not take money away from other universities to equal us out. "We would need $3.4 million to bring the five underfunded (universities) up to balance," he said. Edmisten said one reason ASU is underfunded is that Appalachian is doing such a good job raising money, the board feels we do not need more help. Helm said if Appalachian's tuition was raised, we would be overfunded, but she also said the university does not want to fol­ low that route. Helm said raising tuition would cause society to change in that only those with money would be able to receive an education. "That's not the system we'd like to go back to," said Helm. Virginia Fox, North Carolina senator, does not feel Appalachian should be involved in running a power company such as New River Light and Power. According to Don Austin of New River Light and Power, the university has owned the power company since 1915, when it was cre­ ated to provide power for what was then Ap­ palachian Training School, and tax payers do not subsidize it. "I believe it can be done much less expensively," said Fox. "We put a lot of money into higher education. I want to see it put to good use." SGA President Darby Weaver said the money gained by New River Light and Power is going to scholarships. She said $700,000 is set aside for students. "I can't see that as damaging," she said. "Selling it to the community could be detrimental to Appalachian and the students." Helm said the power com­ pany is efficient, has state of the art equipment, and the profits go back to students. She does not understand why others want Appalachian to sell it.

Dr. Robert Rood, an astrono­ mer at the University of Virginia, spoke on this subject Friday. The speech, part of the Harlow Shapley Visiting Lecture, dealt with the idea that no one can prove unicorns or extraterrestrials do not exist. Rood is a native of North Carolina and attended North Carolina State University. He furthered his edu­ cation at MIT. The concept of extraterres­ trial life is quite old, said Rood; it can be traced back to the writings of the ancient Romans and Greeks where they refer to things that capture their imagination about extraterrestrials. "I really don't think that that was the beginning of extraterrestrial life as a science," said Rood. "I believe that science of extraterrestrial life be­ gan with the dawn of science in the 1600s." He said during the1600s the realization was made that stars were suns. This realization led people to think perhaps there was something else out there. The development of the tele­ scope led people to realize just how many stars there really are.

Giving the most precious gift Tomorrow will bring students the opportunity to save a life when Alpha Delta Pi sorority sponsors their annual Bone Marrow Drive. Many students are hesitant to participate in the donation process because of horror stories that abound about it. Some people think that to see if you are able to donate bone marrow, the Red Cross has to take a sample. This isn't true. They only need to prick your finger. Other people think that the pro­ cess is incredibly painful. This is also far from the truth. Here at The Appalachian, we want to take this opportunity to explain the actual process to read­ ers and encourage all to take part in the donor drive. According to the Red Cross, each year more than 16,000 Americans are diagnosed with one of 60 blood-related diseases like leukemia and lymphoma. Nine thousand of these people die annually. Bone marrow transplants offer the disease victims a more than 65 percent chance of survival. Without a bone marrow transplant, some of these people face sur­ vival rates of only around 0-15 percent. That is why it is so important for every potential donor to be tested. Some students mistakenly think the family of the person can always provide the bone marrow. This isn't always possible. The chances of a family mem­ ber matching perfectly to donate bone marrow is only 30 percent. This leaves 70 percent of those in need relying on people outside their family for help. You could provide it, but only if you get tested. Probably the most disheartening statistic is that each person who participates in a donor drive only has as high as a one in a million chance of being a perfect match to a person on the national registry. For this reason, the more people who get tested, the better. All it takes to find out if you can help save a life is a prick of your finger. The donation process is quick and only slightly painful. Two small vials of blood are taken from the fingertip and are sent off to be matched against people on the national registry. The blood is tested for certain antigens and if it matches, the donor is called by the Red Cross and asked if they wish to participate further. If the donor does wish to continue the donation process, they will undergo a procedure in which "a needle is inserted into their back. Contrary to popu­ lar belief, this is not horrendously painful. It only results in a dull pain in the lower back which lasts for only a short time. The end result is that a life is saved. Don't believe the horror stories you hear about donating bone marrow. Imagine the possibility that you could save someone's life. You would want some­ one to do so for someone you love. Usually, the blood test needed to try to match donors costs $60. This year the Red Cross and Alpha Delta Pi have teamed up to foot the bill for all the tests needed from blood samples collected during the Bone Marrow Drive. Anyohe who has let the usual cost keep them away from getting tested should act now. The Appalachian encourages you to participate in the Bone Marrow Drive tommorrow. Go with a friend. The worst that can happen is that you don't match anyone on the registry. Unfortunately, the chances of this are extremely high but you'll never know unless you try. The best thing that can happen is that you could give the best gift of all to someone who desperately needs it - life.

Thaw-Out put on ice Charity and social event cancelled by Horn board Ryan Price Columnist The four year tradition known as "Thaw-Out" is post­ poned this year, but not because of the crazy Boone weather. Instead, it is delayed until 1997 due to Horn-In-The-West's backing out of a verbal contract with the student organiz­ ers at the last minute. "Thaw-Out" is remembered by most students as a last chance to blow off steam before finals. While Kappa Sigma and Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternities provide a chance for students to drink beer, listen to good bands and get a tan, they also serve a higher purpose. After the 1995 "Thaw-Out," the two fraternities do­ nated over $20,000 to various charities such as OASIS and the Special Olympics. Apparendy these good intentions were not enough to persuade the Board of Directors of the Southern Appalachian Historical Association (which runs Horn-In-The-West) to allow "Thaw-Out" to continue on their property for a fifth year. A few weeks ago, without inviting the two fraterni­ ties, the Board met with the innocent sounding task of lis­ tening to concerned citizens voice their opposition to "Thaw-Out." Instead, they ended up voting against it. When asked why the fraternities were not invited, HornIn-The-West representative Curtis Smalling said, "There wasn't a vote scheduled." Obviously someone had other plans. Smalling stated two main reasons for cancelling the event. In past years'there have been incidents of people urinating in yards and stealing. The other concern was that eventually some student will end up getting seriously hurt, but not from "Thaw-Out." Instead, says Smalling, students will be putting themselves in harm's way by means of an "alcohol overdose." Alright. Theft of someone's property is inexcusable and whoever commits the act should be punished. Good point. Urinating, however, is debatable. It's natural, ev­ erybody does it, and it's good for the grass. The arguable point made by Smalling is the one about "alcohol over­ dose." Overdose? The Alcohol Task Force recommenda­ tion that the consumption of alcohol on public property should be lowered from a 12 pack per person to a six pack was approved by the Boone Town Council. We're in college. A six pack is part of the pre-game. After the town lowered the amount of consumption, it would have made sense to try the idea out, but instead the Horn Board (catchy, isn't it?) figured that it was still too much alcohol on their property and that "Thaw-Out" was, as Smalling says, not "the kind of image that we're trying to project." If the Board really wanted an informative hearing, why did they not invite representatives from the fraternities? This would have allowed both sides of the issue to be heard without the appearance of the Horn Board brushing the concerns of the students aside. By not doing so, the Horn Board, in effect, railroaded the organizers out the door. Kappa Sig and Sig-Ep were both taken by surprise. Said Sig-Ep organizer Jay B. Offerdahl, a senior from Char­ lotte, "We had everything ready to go. Bands, stage, equip­ ment, sponsors. It came as a shock to us." By waiting until the last minute, the Horn Board not only restricted "Thaw-Out" from occuring on their prop­ erty, they virtually prohibited organizers from planning for an alternate site. It is extremely difficult to put together a six-band, 3000 person concert on two weeks notice. The Board was also going to charge the fraternities for the first time on an hourly basis, which according to Offerdahl would have cost around $800 to $1000. Offerdahl said his fraternity had no problem with this because they always donated the refundable $500 deposit to the Horn Board as a gesture of goodwill. "We under­ stand that they need to make money too," he said. The steps taken by the Horn Board to place restric­ tions on the organizers depict an organization that knows what it wants but is too timid to ask directly for it. This is known as waffling. I'm not arguing that the Horn Board has no right to determine what they may do with their property. Obvi­ ously, they do. I am saying however, that in the business world, professionalism is an important virtue and appar­ ently the Hom Board has none. They voted on an issue without hearing the respective sides, and did so at the last minute. If the organizers were "real" citizens of the com­ munity (i.e. full-time taxpayers, property owners, etc.) it is doubtful they would have acted the same way. "Thaw-Out" is a good thing. As a social activity, it is probably the best cf the year. It allows students a chance to relieve stress but is also a major fundraiser for chari­ table organizations. "Thaw-Out" is not only a student event, but because of its substantial donations it becomes a com­ munity one as well. "I don't think people in the community realize what Thaw-Out' does," said Offerdahl. "Organizations like OA­ SIS rely on us as part of their annual revenue." Appar­ ently Horn-In-The-West doesn't care. By not allowing the fraternities to plead their case, the Horn Board railroaded them out the door. They in effect said to Appalachian students, "You're citizens, but your opinions don't really matter to us." Students enjoy the festivities at "Thaw Out 1995." The event raised over $20,000 for charity.

Of course these crass material thinja made them the best fed, best clothed, best educated, an<} least appreciative generation in history. Of course it wouto be unfair to judge an entire generation by a herd of graa puffing mud bathers. There were some from that gen eration who put themselves on the line in the civil rightf movement. But they were a minority." The consequences surrounding our withdrawal frou Vietnam isn't mentioned very often among these now middle aged radicals. Former radical and Reagat speechwriter Peggy Noonan explains: "The characters on Thirtysomething will probablj never say, You know that war, I look at what happened after we left and we were wrong. We should've stayed,i And there probably won't be columns saying. 'What thd Communists did was terrible and we should have knowr what they were going to do.'

Crazy, huh? The angle I'm taking is that all of these groups that are out to destroy the powers-that-be actually only succeed in strengthening the government and the establishment. See, the more fanatic anti-gov­ ernment groups and/or big-business-bombing hermits that appear, the more government and the economy expand their powers. So, if you're one of those folks like me who are for more job opportunities, then you will support these fringe groups. Imagine the employment opportunities that will open up for North Carolina citizens if we had our own group of Freemen or Unabombers. There would be openings for FBI agents, SWAT team police officers, journalists, ammunition manufacturers, jailers, judges and lawyers, psychiatrists, movie-makers looking for the perfect script idea, hotel operators to house all these people and restaurant managers and chefs to serve them. It's brilliant, no? As an aspiring journalist, I would have to be nuts not to take advantage of an opportunity as large as this.

Jack Kemp put it best: "1 love the words of Thomas Jefferson, who said, 'Our nation is not a set of boundaries on a map it is a set of timeless moral ideals concerning equality, human dignity, and the God given right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." These ideals were affirmed in a great civil war, and then reaffirmed in the long struggle for civil and human rights. I believe America holds the promise that ultimately the whole world will be free and that democ­ racy will triumph over opression and poverty. Young people throughout the world no longer quote Marx or Mao, they quote Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King. This challenge has given Americans a very special role to play in defending and extending the principals that make democracy possible; the rule of law, private property, free markets, and the moral values upon which freedom de­ pends. But, we must never forget what the American dream really means, not to bring everyone down to some level of mediocrity but to allow everyone to rise as high as his or her imagination and enterprise can take them. Achiev­ ing this kind of boundless opportunity leaves us with alot of work to do. We must have the type of economic growth that reaches our inner cities and a spirit for racial recon­ ciliation that touches all hearts. We must not leave any­ one behind in our quest for freedom, prosperity, and rec­ onciliation." The Appalachian welcomes letters to the Editor.

Last but not least, any fly fisherman needs a good supply of flies. Flies only run about a $1.75 apiece, but most fishermen usually go through two or three every time out. After a while that may start pinching your wallet. Experienced fishermen usually make their own flies. Fly-fishing kits are available but it takes many years to become proficient at ty- Norman Maclean described fly-fishing as a sport of strength, skill and intelligence. Any­ one who has ever tried it loves it. Anyone who has ever watched it becomes mesmerized by it. Boone is a perfect setting for such a sport.

Remember, patience is a vir­ tue. "I'd say it takes a good two years perfecting your casting, reading the water to figure out where the fish are, and matching the fly patterns with the insects coming off the water," says Reavis. "After that, you just perfect your style." Oh yes, style. Each indi­ vidual fisherman needs to find out what is most comfortable to them. Different rods, fly lines and flies all contribute to one's style. As Kaase puts it, "We like to think that there's some skill and artistry involved, compared to just using a spinner-rod." Good locations to go in the area are the New and Watauga Rivers, and Laurel Creek. Kaase says that any offshoot stream is also a good bet to try. Both Kaase and Reavis learned to fish from their fathers. "I've been fishing since I was a little kid," says Reavis. "It's like communicating with the out­ doors. It's a break from the real world." Kaase tries to go as often as possible. "I like to go whenever I have the free time," says Kaase. "Lately I've been going four or five times a week." If you're interested in fly-fish­ ing, give it a whirl. There are lo­ cal guide agencies around Wa­ tauga County that rent equip­ ment, take you out, and teach the basics of casting. "This is a prime area to go," says Reavis. Try it, you might get hooked. Senior Brian K. Maness (above) enjoys a day of fly-fishing on the Watauga River. (Photo by Ryan Price) Matt Russ Reporter Edwin McCain plays an acoustic set in front of Doughton Residence Hall on Thursday before his show. (Photo by Jason Wilkinson) Wendy White Reporter Edwin McCain returned to Appalachian to play a near sellout show on Thursday, April 11, at Legends, through the A.EPS. concert se­ ries. Originally from Greenville, S.C., McCain was kicked out of the University of South Carolina after half a semester for streaking across campus as part of a fraternity initia­ tion. "If I hadn't got kicked out of college, I might not be playing today," says McCain. McCain's musical career began in Charleston, S.C. where he played acoustic guitar and sang solo around local bars and restaurants. Though he enjoyed playing the local scene, he wanted more and realized that he needed a band. Selling most of his per­ sonal possessions just to make payroll, the year and a half search ended with the discov­ ery of the musical talents of Scott Bannevich (bassist), Craig Shields (saxophone and key­ board) and T.J. Hall (drums and percussion), Erin L. Starnes, a sophomore art major from Charlotte, saw McCain play this semes­ ter and last semester. "When Edwin was here last semester, he was still somewhat un­ known," says Starnes. "It's good to see that even though his audience has grown and his career has taken off, his feet are still on the ground." McCain and company have built up a solid fan base during 18 months of exhaus­ tive touring throughout the Southeast (includ­ ing 327 gigs in 1994 alone) along with the release of one independent album. His debut album, "Honor Among Thieves," is centered around McCain's acous­ tic guitar and his soulful, soaring voice. Deftly mixing rock, soul, folk and jazz influences, Edwin's music at once echoes the familiar and charts an original course. He is an evocative story-teller, as exem­ plified by such songs as "Sorry To A Friend" (about growing older), "3 A.M." (about his early days as an acoustic performer), and "Alive" (about a man losing his father and wife in the same week, but who has the strength to carry on through music). 'The song, 'Sorry To A Friend,' is about seeing everybody leave for college and los­ ing their youth," says McCain. 'There's a line in it that goes, 'Like a stone in the stream/Life smoothes all your edges until you barely make a ripple any­ more,"' says McCain. "In some ways, life is the falling away of opportunities, and I just see so many people lose ... not their child­ hood, but their child-ness." Robert C. Gaddy, a sophomore sociol­ ogy major from Monroe, says he enjoys McCain's music for it's storytelling quality. "Every one of McCain's songs has a message," says Gaddy. "His live performances exem­ plify his strong, soulful stage presence." Despite the songs' uplifting melodies and generally cheerful sound, there's usu­ ally a sadness lurking beneath the surface. "How can you understand lightness if you don't look into the dark?" asks McCain. "Most of the songs are sad, but with a posi­ tive message at the end -just when you think it can't get any worse, there's a ray of sun­ shine, and that ray is so much more appreci­ ated when ifs coming through the darkness." • With the improved weather conditions, students at Appalachian take to the woods for some peace of mind. A peaceful and serene retreat from the hectic normalcy of society is often pursued by those who simply cannot take it anymore. That retreat can be found practically in your back­ yard. Campers from all over flock to this region to disappear into the woods for days, even weeks at a time, and we are only minutes away from this treasure. Those who have been camping or moun­ taineering in other areas around the country will tell you that the Blue Ridge Mountains have a uniqueness that separates them from any other mountain region in the world. Their incredibly colorful views and satisfyingly lush forests provide an escape like no other. To the west of Appalachian are the Great Smoky Mountains, to the east is the Blue Ridge Parkway, and to the south is Pisgah National Forest and the Linville Gorge. We are smack dab in the middle of one of the greatest areas for camping in the country. The most difficult decision campers have to make is which neck of the woods they feel like exploring. Stephen J. Guerreri, a senior from Cary, enjoys camping in the Wilson Creek area of Pisgah National Forest. "I enjoy escaping the hassles of everyday life for awhile," says Guerreri. The Pisgah National Forest is a wonder­ ful area to do either extensive backpacking or simple day hikes. It provides a beautiful vari­ ety of trails depending on what type of outdoorsman you are. The Appalachian Trail is also popular among campers in the area. It provides beau- Clay Barbour Features Editor Your chances of being chosen are one in a million and if chosen you'll suffer from lower back pain for about five days. That's what the April 17 Bone Marrow Drive, spear-headed by Alpha Delta Pi, offers volunteers. That, and the opportunity to save someone's life. Each year more than 16,000 Americans are diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma, or one of 60 other blood related diseases and 9,000 die annually. With better than a 65-percent survival rate, bone marrow transplantation has be­ come the therapy of choice for people suffer­ ing from one of these diseases. The April 17 drive is just the first part of the process. Melinda G. Lee, a member of Alpha Delta Pi, says anyone who volunteers will first be tested. "They take two small vials of blood and test it for a perfect match." The test consist of matching four of six antigens in the blood. If your blood matches someone on the National Registry, the Red Cross contacts you to see if you are still interested. If the volunteer is still inter­ ested, they will then meet with the Red Cross to go over the procedure.

Movie Review CD Review Bonham's 'Burdens' John Starling Reporter An overwhelming number of rock performers today seem to have a chip on their shoulders about some­ thing. Billy Corgan, Courtney Love and Alanis Morrisette come to mind as those leading the pack of whiners and complainers. Fortunately for the rock audi­ ence, not till performers take the trail of whining as the only means of get­ ting wherever they may be going with their music. A prime example of this is Tracy Bonham's new album The Burdens of Being Upright (Island). Bonham opts for mostly univer­ sal themes as opposed to highly per­ sonal and impenetrable messages of angst. By doing so, she's made a well crafted and easily enjoyable album amongst a doldrum of whiny rock al­ bums. From the outset, Bonham is out to create dynamics within her music. She starts Burdens off with "Mother Mother" a tune that is deceptively quiet at the beginning, only to work into a rollicking second half. The second number, "Navy Bean," incorporates a surf-like guitar feel over lyrics discussing perceptions of things. "A navy bean is bigger than it seems/Put it on and don't ask what it means" is one of the most poignant (if seemingly incoherent) lyrics on Bur­ dens. Bonham drops her band from the formula on "Kisses" and "Brain Crack." These two solo pieces are perhaps two of the most moving tracks on Burdens. "Kisses" jangles along with clean guitars and haunting vocal stylings, eventually joined by crunchy, overdriven guitars buried low in the mix. This helps to represent the deepseeded anger verbalized in the lyrics. Violins and vocals give the gawky lyrics of "Brain Crack" an eerie back­ drop. Bonham obviously knows how to lighten the semi-serious mood she established early on the album. Bonham slows things down dra­ matically for the last three songs on Burdens. "Every Breath," "30 Seconds" and "The Real" all linger somewhere between mid-tempo and slow. They create an uneasy tension that makes the close of the album a bit awkward. The Burdens of Being Upright is a very dynamic piece of work. As far as the individual songs go, each has its own charm and charisma. And though the album is an enjoyable anti-angst piece, it fails to break the new ground that Bonham is obviously capable of. Maybe next time she'll steer clear of the mediocre interpretations that hinder a potentially classic album. | _ J _ C A g g j A R O U N A BACkBOUNTHY I P.O. BOX 919, BREVARD, NC 28712 dP\QTOOKI3 'Peach' of a movie Steven Mackay Reporter In 1993, "Batman" director Tim Burton produced the fantastic stopmotion feature "The Nightmare Be­ fore Christmas," a bizarre and rather dark visual dreamscape for the eyes and imagination. Now, almost three years later, Burton has created yet another wild children's tale with "James and the Giant Peach" (PG), which is now showing at the Chalet. Based on a 1961 book by Roald Dahl, this eye candy is lighter in theme and tone, but still carries a dark and hallucinatory feeling. The James in the title is a young London orphan (played by newcomer Paul Terry) who escapes the clutches of his sadistic aunts by hitching a ride with a group of large, talking insects on a giant peach that's headed for New York City. The motley crew of insect friends include a spider (voiced by Susan Sarandon), an earthworm (David Thewlis), a grasshopper (Simon Cal­ low), a ladybug (Jane Leeves) and a centipede (Richard Dreyfuss). What happened to James' par­ ents? Well, they were gobbled up by a sky-bome rhinoceros. If you're thinking this can't hap­ pen, then you're out of touch with your childhood. In which case, you need to get it re-installed. As a 22year-old kid, I have to say this is great •ey You, GET A SUMMER JOBI (skiing, sailing, high ropes, athletics, much more) (co-ed, YMCA resident camp, ACA accredited) entertainment and in some way, almost believable. I could explain more of the plotline, but that would only be de­ stroying the film's magic and fun. Be­ sides, I'd probably only confuse mat­ ters. Unlike "Nightmare," "James" mixes live-action and stop-motion ani­ mation to tell its wondrous story. The beauty of the animation and puppets make up for the rather amateurish and foggy look of the live scenes. Henry Selick is a master of this particular animation genre, but he probably should have handed over the human scenes to a superior director like Burton. The human players either overact till the tilt (Joanna Lumley and Miriam Margolyes as the aunts) or hardly register (Terry is a bit dull). Astute viewers will recognize "Nightmare's" hero, Jack Skellington, in die role of an irate dead pirate in the frozen North. Also, the aunts look particularly like the Penguin and his entourage from Burton's "Batman Re­ turns." The songs, mostly penned by Randy Newman ("Toy Story"), are en­ tertaining for the most part. However, such tunes as "My Name is James" could only appeal to people named James, even then, that would be a stretch. Nit-pickings aside, this is a peach of a film that will make you think its perfectly reasonable for an orphan and his insect pals to ride a giant fruit half­ way around the world. Really.

"So you don't give some family false hope." The chance of actually matching someone on the National Registry is slim. It can be as high as one in a mil­ lion. Two years ago Alpha Delta Pi sponsored a bone marrow drive that tested around 200 people and no one matched. To test, volunteers must be be­ tween the ages of 18 and 55. The fee for testing is $60, but Alpha Delta Pi and the Red Cross have already footed the bill. So, everyone can test for free during the drive. If the weather is good the drive will be held on Sanford Mall, if not, it will be held in the Linville Falls room in the student union. Alpha Delta Pi became interested in the cause two years ago when Brian Griffin, a friend of one of their mem­ bers was diagnosed with leukemia. Lee has a personal interest in the bone marrow drive. Her sister was diagnosed with cancer in 1993. Luck­ ily, she was able to serve as her own donor. Other people are not so lucky. Very few can be their own donor and only 30 percent of people diagnosed with a blood disease have a family member who is suitable for transplan­ tation. That leaves 70 percent in need of an unrelated donor. "If you match, you are' probably the only person who ever will," says Lee. THE STUDENT MIND DURING A FINAL EXAM. eeiALj, rueeity, rulny, kwoe...

For the Appajan State men's basketball team, rock bot,has already been achieved. It came after the Mountaineers' second ^ loss to Western Carolina in the SouthConference tournament that finished off a sable 8-20, the team's worst finish in nine 3. Shortly after the loss, athletic director chel Laney announced that head coach Apke's contract would not be renewed.

Stephen Fisher came to the rescue, though, pitching four relief innings, striking out six, and giv­ ing up only one run on two hits. Fisher im­ proved his record to 2-0 with the win, and the Mountaineers improved to 23-14 on the year. ASU continued their weekend April 12 against the North Carolina A8iT Aggies. The Mountaineers swept the Aggies in the double header, and they outscored them 36-10 on the day. The first game was basically over before it even started. ASU jumped out to a 12-0 first inning lead, and never looked back. They proceeded to add 12 more runs in the second inning, then decided enough was enough and eased up on the Aggies the rest of the way. The Mountaineers eventually won 24-7 in a laugher at Lackey Field. The Mountaineers were helped out a little by Aggie pitcher Jason Moore, who walked six of the first seven batters, but the ASU of­ fense simple devastated North Carolina A&T. The offensive standouts were numerous, but among the best performances of the day were Pete Snitzer"s 4 RBIs, Shane Owenby's grandslam home run and 5 RBIs, John Anderson's 4 RBIs, and Scott Garrett's three for four per­ formance. The Mountaineers crushed 18 hits, with 11 players contributing to that total and 10 having RBIs. The winning pitcher was Garth Armstrong, who only pitched two innings, but struck out two and gave up only two hits. The second game of the day was basi cally the same pattern, only a little less dras tic. The Mountaineers rolled to a 12-3 win, having an easy time with the 5-26 Aggies. ASU smashed 14 hits and 10 RBIs in the con­ test, showing that they own Aggie pitching. Brent Payton, Danny Allard, Scott Musgrave, and Chris Rodriguez all had two hits for App State, and Tommy Skul led the way in the RBI category with three. Dan Stutzman pitched a complete game for the Mountaineers, and picked up the win to go 4-0. Stutzman allowed only three runs on six hits and he struck out eight Aggie hit­ ters. The Mountaineer baseball team took the weekend off, and they continue action this week with a contest against the Hokies of Vir­ ginia Tech. Jason Somerville Reporter The Appalachian State baseball team stayed hot in the Southern Conference this past week with a victory over Davidson and two non-conference wins over North Carolina A8tT. At the end of the week, the Mountain­ eers had boosted their record to 25-14 and are hoping to continue flying high right into the Southern Conference tournament in May. The only blemish on the Mountaineers' week came at the beginning when they faced off in a non-conference match with the Uni­ versity of North Carolina. The Mountaineers came out swinging and had a 6-2 lead after five innings. But three runs in the sixth and eighth innings by UNC propelled the Tarheels to a 8-6 win, despite committing six errors in the field. The ASU offense did pound out seven hits, led by Scott Musgrave and Scott Garrett who both went two for four. Musgrave also contributed two RBIs, and Brent Payton hit his fourth homer of the year. Musgrave struggled through 5.2 innings, giving up eight hits and five earned runs while striking out six as Appalachian's starter. The losing pitcher was reliever Jason Crews, who dropped to 5-2 on the year. The non-conference loss to UNC did not bother the Mountaineers on the following day, when they beat Davidson 14-12 in a slugfest. The offensive festival saw both teams com­ bine for 28 hits, 12 extra base hits, and 26 runs. The game was basically back and forth throughout, and Appalachian State carried a 12-9 lead into the eighth inning. But in the eighth, Davidson scored three runs to tie the game. Thanks to catcher Shane Owenby's double, which produced the go-ahead run in the bottom of the eighth, the Mountaineers hung on for the victory. Among the offensive leaders for ASU were Pete Snitzer, Brett Berrier, Kenny Osborne, and Scott Garrett who all had multihit games for the Mountaineers. Snitzer also produced two RBIs, while Garrett added three of his own. The effort was truely a team one, as nine Mountaineers contributed to the hit total, and seven contributed RBI's.

Dan Norris, Mr. David Ponder, Dr. A1 Rapp, Dr. Polly Tmavsky, Mr. Brett Walters, and Ms. Carrie Mangum. Vice Chancellor Helm responded that she was excited about the committee and felt that this was a good time for an Alternative Transportation Commit­ tee to be established. She said, "As construction projects continue to increase, more parking spaces are being lost. Although there are more parking spaces on campus than vehicles registered, they're not in locations where people want to park." She also mentioned that one of the more congested areas on campus is around Raley Hall, where it is proposed to build a parking deck. Ms. Helm reminded the committee that the Chancellor had indicated in his memo that if there are any capital improvements, fund sources should be identified in the committee's recommendation. She also suggested one area the committee might want to look at is the idea of having a campus shuttle that would supplement the AppalCart. A four-phase approach was suggested for the committee. The first phase would consist of collecting information. The committee approved a list of individuals it would like to meet with. The following are potential speakers: Dr. Clyde Robbins, Associate Vice Chanellor for Physical Operations; Dr. Harvard Ayers, chair of the Boone and Blowing Rock Transportation Committee; Mr. Jerry Haire, Boone planning officer; Mr. Chris Turner, AppalCart director; Mr. Roy Tugman, director of Public Safety/University Police; Hayes, Seay, Mattern & Mattern, parking consultants; Dr. Polly Trnavsky, chair of the Traffic Management and Safety Committee; Mr. Hunter Schofield, Boone Town Council; Mr. Don Holycross, Blowing Rock town manager; Mr. Raymond Magyar, UNCCH transportation planner; Mr. j Michael Trew, Boone Loop engineer.

Off-campus senators Brett Walters, •jfier Maden, Dan Norris and Lauren Tuttle •troduced their resolution of support for alJmative transportation. The bill calls for the diversity to support and develop this form of •jnsportation. The bill focuses on AppalCART ser^5 on campus. First, SGA would like to see jcreased frequency of the Crosstown Route, •ybill also states that no routes be lost with­ out consultation with SGA. In addition, SGA supports running the State Farm Express route during Spring and Fall semesters to accommodate Appalachian club and recreational sports and having a com­ muter route to Blowing Rock. An AppalCART route to Kellwood apartments has been requested in the bill. According to Norris, a lot of students live in these apartments and the use of cars could be decreased through the creation of this route. "This was a recommendation from Chris Turner, director of AppalCART," said Norris. "He said there is a need for a route there." SGA also passed a resolution of policy involving the implementation of a grievance policy for students. The policy would allow students to express their problems with pro­ fessors. This policy was presented by sena­ tors Todd Poole and Robert Modey. The bill came about due to dissatisfaction with teacher evaluations at the end of each semester. The bill called for the creation of a grievance committee to evaluate complaints from students. The committee would talk with the student and professor separately and make a decision about the situation. Poole said if the professor comes up for tenure, this proposed policy could be a fac­ tor in the tenure decision. "If a professorhas a grievance against him, it will be kept in his file," said Poole. Appalachian currently has no such grievance policy. Poole and Motley based this legislation on the current grade appeal policy. Edmundo Echeverria, academic af­ fairs chair, said he will be presenting this policy to Faculty Senate Aprii 15. discussed in SGA the country that offer a truly all accounting meal plan," said Dubberly.

Buzz Peterson, associate head coach at Vanderbilt for the past three sea­ sons, has been named as the Mountaineers new basketball coach. The announcement was made April 10 at a press conference at 11:30 a.m. at the Broyhill Inn. Roachel Laney , athlet­ ics director at Appalachian made the an­ nouncement. Peterson has nine years coaching experience with such teams as the \fanderbilt Commodores, NC Wolfpack and the East Tennessee State Buccaneers. Peterson, a native of Asheville, earned four letters in basketball at UNCChapel Hill, serving as team captain in his senior year. A member of the Tar Heels' NCAA Championship squad in 1982, Peterson was voted Outstanding Senior by teammates fol­ lowing the 1984-85 season. In his four sea­ sons, the Tar Heels compiled a 115-22 record Peterson was drafted by the NBA in 1986 by the Cleveland Cavaliers. He played professional basketball in Belgium and also played for a brief time in the Con­ tinental Basketball Association. "Appalachian means a great deal to me, and has provided two firsts in my career-giving me my start in coaching nine years ago, and now the opportunity to be a Division I head coach," said Peterson.

Graduation rate remains high among athletes rates include volleyball, women s bas ketball, men's tennis and men's soc- Special to The Appalachian Appalachian State University's six-year graduation rate for student athletes receiving athletic aid is 71 percent, compared to 61 per­ cent for the entire student population. Ten years ago, that rate was only 40 percent, when Appalachian's Academic Services for Student Ath­ letes program was formed in the Learning Assistance Program. Brad Bemdt, a coordinator in the student athlete program, said Appalachian's adjusted student athlete graduation rate is 87 percent when you factor in students who leave the school for reasons unrelated to aca­ demics. The adjusted five-year gradu­ ation rate for all student athletes at Appalachian is 75 percent. Including all students, Appalachian has the third highest graduation rate in North Caro­ lina, based on the standard five-year graduation. Appalachian's football pro­ gram has the highest graduation rate of any NCAA Division I team. The team's adjusted five-year graduation rate is 75 percent. Other sports which have consistently high graduation Appalachian has 400 student athletes in 19 sports out of a student population of more than 12,000. Only 17 student athletes at Appalachian have been academically suspended since 1991, which is less than one percent of all student ath­ letes. In the fall 1995 semester, 85 stu­ dent athletes qualified for honor rolls, and 1091 qualified for the Southern Conference Honor Roll for the 199495 season. "We want to see students do well in sports and academics, but our program's primary focus is to see the students reach their full academic po­ tential and graduate," Berndt said. "We work with some student athletes from the time they enter until the time they leave. That's an important part of our program." The Academic Services for Student Athletes program, which is housed under the Office of Academic Affairs, provides a variety of services for students, including academic ad­ vising, class scheduling, career coun­ seling, tutoring programs, placement in developmental and learning skills courses and NCAA eligibility informa­ tion, among others. The Learning As­ sistance Program also provides these and similar services to all ct„j Appalachian.

"The Power structure changed and this is a good example of how the history of the quartets refleeted what was happening in society, Goff said. "It's an important part of our past and I think people are beginning to see the importance of the heritage of the music." Goff said one of the most important changes in gospel music occurred in the 1960s with the civil rights movement, as gospel music slowly began to break into black gos­ pel, contemporary gospel and white and black gospel. "Some white gos­ pel quartets were integrated by the early 1970s, which is a recognition of the success of civil rights," he said. 'That's why the focus of my research is when white and black gospel began to mix. That's when the lines start to become blurred."

Soren came to MTV news in 1991 from the ABC affiliate in Vermont where she anchored the nightly news and served as the State House correspondent She not only reported the stories but also shot them herself. While still in college, she worked at ABC's World News Tonight with Peter Jennings, as well as with WNBC and CNN.

As he learned how music bridged the gap between people of different denominations, he discov­ ered the lack of gospel quartets' re­ corded history. "What really makes this re­ search great for me is going out and talking to the singers who lived through the story which I will try to tell in my writing," Goff said. "How the story of the gospel quartets has played out up until now really hasn't been documented." Goff said aside from mon­ etary support, his research will ben­ efit from the connections Maurice Templeton, owner of the Singing News, and editor Jerry Kirksey, have in the gospel music business. "It would be much more dif­ ficult to get ahold of the right people without their connections," he said. "I have a certain amount of clout with their name'recognition behind me. The Singing News has been wonder­ ful to work with and they want the true story of the quartets' history." low Appalachian Food Services' combos compare Combo Food Court McDonald's Wendy's Backyapd Burger 1/4 LB Cheeseburger $2.79 $3.39 $2.99 $2.99 Chicken Filet Sandwich $3.29 $3.59 $3.99 $3.99 Double Cheeseburger $3.99 N/A $4.29 Bacon Cheeseburger $3.49 N/A $3.89 $3.75 Two Jr. Cheeseburgers $2.79 $2.99 N/A N/A Fish Filet Sandwich $2.79 $2.99 N/A •HHHi N/A If Source: Appalachian Food Services READY FOR A CHANGE?

Francis The Fairness. Accuracy and Public Service since 1936 Our opinion... Generation '80s, not Forums open to all, attended by none Vanessa Urruela Editorials Editor A common complaint heard all over the Appala­ chian campus is that the Student Government Asso­ ciation (SGA) doesn't do enough. In reality, how­ ever, this year's SGA has made several strides to in­ volve the student body in the improvement process of the Appalachian community. Appalachian 2000, a series of student forums, is a perfect example of such efforts. If anyone should be complaining about the way things are in regards to the condition of this university, it should be the students who are involved in SGA. They have worked hard with very little in­ put from the students they try hard to serve. Appalachian 2000 is a series of forums based upon issues SGA felt were especially important to this year's student body. According to Darby Weaver, SGA President, attendance at the forums dwindled increasingly as the series has continued. "It is frus­ trating to know that we've given students a chance to have their voices heard, and they have not chosen to use it," she said. At the first two forums, "The Student Voice" held on Feb. 12, and "Campus Diversity" on Feb. 19, at­ tendance was around 40-50 students in addition to the entire SGA. Is this kind of turnout the sort of thing SGA counts on to effectively make changes and improve the university? Even students who don't have cars at Appala­ chian have noticed the extremely poor on-campus parking facilities. The debate surrounding the park­ ing deck issue has been raging all year and yet, when the "Transportation and Parking" forum was held on Feb. 26, only around 20 non-SGA students attended. Where were all the students who have problems with parking and want something done about it? The forum was held after 7 p.m. when most spots are legal, so lack of spaces couldn't have been the problem. Don't students realize that their apathy is counterproductive? On March 27, "Community Relations and Public Service" was the forum topic and an embarrassing total of around 10 students showed up. How ironic that this forum was about student involvement and only served to prove how poor it can be. The "Academic Mission" forum was held on April 3 and about 15-20 students attended. Since academ­ ics affect every single student on this campus, there is no excuse for such low numbers. This forum would have been the perfect opportunity for students to have their voice heard by SGA and members of the faculty who served as panel members. Appalachian 2000 was created so that students would have the opportunity to share their concerns, thoughts and opinions with SGA. Since SGA is the most powerful student organization that creates the most change on this campus, they are an especially good group to go to when trying to voice a student concern. Apathy is one of the most common problems faced on a college campus and only students can do something about this. If we desire to make Appala­ chian better, students need to be more assertive in sharing their ideas and making their voices heard. This year's SGA deserves to be commended for their efforts.

Computers contain a mass of valuable personal information that becomes more accessible as the com­ puters are linked. This personal information is subject to misuse at a time when laws concerning computers and privacy is unclear. I found much information about this issue in a book called Principles of Information Systems, A Managerial Approach. The author, Ralph M. Stair, writes, "In America there are four billion records on individuals collected by about 100 federal agencies." These records, along with others created by state and local governments as well as profit and nonprofit organizations of all types and sizes, contain personal information that ranges from a person's name and address to their financial records, height and weight. Usually the information is collected for legitimate reasons. For example, the Social Security department collects information on people in order to distribute benefits after retirement. What we may not think about is that the Social Security Department also issues a personalized number to each person that can be illegally used by a criminal to access information. That information could be used illegally for theft or other wrong do­ ings. The information could also be legally sold to a marketing company to create mailing lists. "Certain sets of information on people can be purchased for about $500 per 5,000 names," writes Stair. There have been laws passed for privacy in general. These laws are important, but since we have moved into an advanced era where computers store a large amount of personal information on individuals, I think it is time to pass some more specific legisla­ tion. No entity should be able to sell personal information that the public is required to give. This legislation would prohibit states from selling information gained from register­ ing vehicles. In cases when an individual is not required to give information on themselves but does so anyway, there should be an opportunity for them to prohibit the company from selling, trading or giving that information to someone else at the time that the information is given. Currently, anyone can stop information about themselves from being distributed. The problem is that it is hard to know who is distributing the information.

Flelms is an appropriate speaker Angela Brady Editor-in-Chief Renee Cagle News Editor I'm not a member of "Generation X," nor am I a "twenty-something slacker." These terms are nothing more than half-baked ideas the media have given to present day college students and other people in their 20s. Where they have gotten the notion that all of us have something pierced other than our ears and think flannel is the fabric of the century, 1 don't know. In Boone, all the flannel comes from a ne­ cessity to keep warm more than anything, and even though there are a few places to add holes to one's body, the majority of us think we already have enough. Most people I know don't fit into the stereotypes the media has created for us. Personally, I would rather be called a child of the '80s than any other terms I've heard lately. My cultural icons and the things that have shaped me most come from daily life when I was little. It's funny to think that kids my sister's age fl4) have mostly not seen "Star Wars" and were too little to remember "School House Rock." When I was little, picking out a Trapper-Keeper was the event that ended the summer and let you know a new school year was approaching. Little Debbies and Fruit Rollups were the coolest things to have in your lunch box, and if you didn't have Zips shoes, you could not be cool. After school, the best shows were "Scooby-Doo" (God, did I want to be Daphne) and "G.I. Joe." Remember, "Knowing is half the battle!" ? We played with"Star Wars" figures and even integrated my My Little Ponies into the fun with Luke Skywalker fight­ ing on top of "Glory" while battling the enemy Go-Bots. The way to beat the Rubik's Cube was to peel off the stick­ ers, and nobody would admit to doing it. Remember pencil fights and riding the school bus so many times you knew the route just as well as the driver did? Substitute teachers were doomed, but didn't have to worry that anyone was going to shoot them the way they do now. Public school wasn't a place you were afraid you'd die, except on pizza day when the hard, rectangular brick landed on your plate and the green beans got smooshed over on top of it. If you were lucky, you had the 35 cents for a Nutty Buddy. On the playground, we talked about Michael Jackson and never doubted that he was "the man." All my friends were involved in a non-academic activ- 1M The hypocrisy of the liberals on this campus is stron­ ger and more apparent then ever with the negative reac­ tion towards the choice of Senator Jesse Helms as a com­ mencement speaker for the College of Business. Apparently these diversity torch-holders think having an "open mind" means only listening to those who agree with them. Open-minded people are easily spotted by the red AIDS ribbons on their shirts and book bags, which is, of course, the ultimate sign of compassion in all the world - showing your support for people who are dying. Yes, indeed, these liberals do care...about their own cause. Anybody who dares fall outside of this clique group of compassionate liberals is unworthy of being heard from, for they have committed the great sin of acting in a "closeminded" manner. These people can easily be spotted by the lack of the God-sent red ribbon on their chest, thus proving that they don't care about a group of dying people - hiss!! The fact that campus groups, like the campus chap­ ter of The National Organization for Women, are protest­ ing Senator Helms' appearance because he's a "closeminded" conservative, proves that liberals are not support­ ers of the First Amendment that they pretend they are. It seems ironic that the stereotype of the conservative trying to keep "bad" messages and entertainment from reaching the public is falling to the wayside of the new, politically-correct, liberal guardian who has pledged to wipe clean from the earth anything deemed "hateful" or "insen­ sitive." This is most apparent in the comparisons between Anita Hill's visit in February and Helms' upcoming visit on May 12. When Hill came here, she was welcomed by all of the campus, even the conservative groups like Young Republi­ cans. They didn't protest, paint tunnels and stick up flyers damning Hill for her opinions and actions. I went, along with other conservatives, and listened to what she said, and left after she was done. The only protesting I did was to wear an "Absolute Conservative" T-shirt, which some nutzoid feminist tried to rip off me (kinky, huh?). That's the polite thing to do - no screaming, shouting, death threats, just listening. Proves that conservatives are polite. On the other hand, many liberals seem to ^ everything in their power to keep this speech fro pening.

Senator Helms has used his position to further his own out-dated preju­ dices and further the interests of a corrupt, destructive in­ dustry. These are not accomplishments which I believe deserve the respect of this university or its student body. I do agree that by disrupting the graduation ceremony itself is not an appropriate form of protest. We don't have to respect the senator, but we should respect our gradu­ ates. Graduation is ultimately about them and not about the speaker. However, as a student of the School of Busi­ ness, this is the first time I have ever been happy that I will not be graduating on time with'my classmates in May. 1 would prefer not to attend the ceremony at all than to remember it as a show of respect for bigotry and self-inter­ est. 1 know that graduation is once in a lifetime event, but so is castration, and I have no intention of participating in that either. I urge anyone who feels as strongly as I do about this not to attend the commencement ceremony. If enough of us who where we stand, it will send a message not only to the administration, but maybe even to Senator Helms him­ self.

I would like to inhim that Women's Studies is an academic major and iat all related to the study of home economics. It is terdisciplinary course of study that is based on intelal thought and development. Is a Women's Studies major, I was disturbed by his rks. Women's Studies is a discipline that should be recognized and respected for its challenging and inspiring academic curriculum. Since it is my major, I can assure John Nolte that the Women's Studies curriculum does not offer any courses related to the domestic tasks that he has described. As for his wife, I think she offered him some good advice. I invite him to take a Women's Studies course while he is in the process of exploring potential majors. I believe it would be very eye-opening for him and I'm sure his wife would appreciate the new insights a Women's Stud­ ies course could offer him. Julie Humphrey ASU Box 12924 1 find it sad that all of the money being spent by our school is being misdirected. Granted, we need some of the buildings being built, but the school is in a greater need all together. This need was suddenly slammed in my face as 1 tried, (1 use tried for lack of a better word), to do research in the Belk Library. 1 find the lack of resources scary and uncalled for. The fact that the library has been overlooked for an update is beyond me. It's maybe that those in charge of the library just have no say-so in the matter or they just don't care. I finally had to buy my information for my research at a local bookstore. This should not have had to happen. The subject was a modern one that had its start back in the late 1950's- military applications of radar evasion. They had not even a hint of a start into this subject of aircraft. Later that week, much to my sorrow, I was forced to go back into the library for more research for another class. This time it was for census information. Since the data 1 needed was not on CD-ROM, the young blond student worker (or maybe the term slacker should be used) seemed to think that his math homework was more important than doing his job, 1 was forced to find help elsewhere. After finding no help from the online catalog, I hap­ To the Editor: We regret that Erica Everett had a bad experience using Belk Library, and we regret that we are not better funded. However, nothing in Ms. Everett's article justifies your headline. Compared to libraries at other universi­ ties which are of similar size as Appalachian State Univer­ sity and offer similar educational programs, Belk Library is one of the better libraries in terms of collection size, access to materials not owned here and particularly in terms of the quality of its librarians, staff, and student assistants. This is borne out in comparative statistics and the results of user surveys conducted over the past sev­ pened to ask a young lady working at the Reserve Read­ ing Desk who found what I was looking foe She and the other worker gave me the most help I have ever gotten from any student worker at the library. Later, finding that one book that the computer showed, there were two cop­ ies which were missing and no one could say where they were or even cared that they were missing. I finally or­ dered another copy from another university's library. This is not, however, the end of my trial. Upon enter­ ing the library to pick up the book, I realized that no one knew how to check out the book because it did not have a bar code on it. Go figure. The reason for this letter is two-fold: One - to let people know that the Belk Library is in need of some serious up­ dating and, Two, to ask a serious question - Why do three quarters of the people that work at the library get hired and why do they have to be total jar-heads? Does heavy drug use and/or stupidity have to be a requirement to get a job at the library? These are things the world may never know! Please, people stop worrying about the "Save the Knob," bike lanes in Boone, or whatever it is that most of the students at Appalachian are trying to save now, and start to worry about your education.

The Appalachian n a ' -Baited 1 B— — Karamazov brothers fly into Appalachian Richard Smith Assistant Features Editor They don't fly, they aren't Russian, and they aren't even brothers (with each other, anyway). They are the Flying Karamazov Brothers, who are currently touring the coun­ try in support of their juggling/musical/theatrics comedy, "Club Sandwich," which flew through Appalachian's Farthing Auditorium last night. The Flying Karamazov Brothers, Paul Magid, Howard Patterson, Sam Williams, and Michael Preston (Dimitri, Ivan, Smerdyakov, aand Rakitin on stage) are a troupe of comedic jugglers/actors/musicians/writers who wow audiences with astounding feats of jug­ gling and rapid-fire comedy. In their 22-year career, the brothers have enjoyed three runs on Broadway, their own Showtime special, and other gigs with The Who, Frank Sniatra, and several world tours. The brothers got their start on the streets of San Francisco ("the actual streets, not the TV show," as stated in their bio). Last month, however, they were on an actual TV show doing a spot on NBC's Seinfeld as The Flying Sandos Brothers. Sandos? Wasn't Karamazov an odd enough name? Not according the show's writ­ ers, said Patterson in an interview before yesterday's performance. "They wanted us to be gypsies," says Patterson. "They had no in­ terest in anything authentic about gypsies, in­ cluding the name. It's amazing how closely they stick to the script. They let Jason Alexander improvise a little, but that's it" Improvisation for the Karamazovs, how­ ever, is a part of what makes their act so spe­ cial. lheres a lot ut room tor improvisation with (Club Sandwich)," says Patterson. The current Karamazov production is a spool ol classic Humphrey Bogart detective movies with plenty of juggling, music and wild comedy. The brothers are constantly throwing in new jokes and elements to the act every night, in addition to keeping up with what all else is going on with performing. "You have all these tracks going in your head all the time during a performance," says Patterson. "What am I supposed to say next? What are the things that we've said before here that were funny?" Juggling all of these elements while per­ forming is quite a feat, but none compare to The Flying Karamazov Brothers.

Even if you are a regular viewer, you may not know that the locally produced produc­ tion has one big connection to this campus. The five-minute segment, which airs around the bottom of the hour, is anchored by 21-year-old Appalachian State junior Lesley A. Schaaf. She may not be rubbing elbows with CNN/Headline News staples such as Larry King and Lynn Vaughn yet, but she's on her way. Schaaf, a communication-journalism ma­ jor from Greensboro, has been anchoring the Headline News Local Edition, produced by Booth Communications here in Boone, since its inception on March 13. The anchoring job is an unpaid intern­ ship formulated between Booth and the com­ munication department at Appalachian. Every weekday since then, Schaaf has taped a five-minute news segment that airs Appalachian's ultimate FrJsbee team, the Alien Mountain Nomads. (Back row left to right) Mark A.

Not all the Frisbee lovers are out there just playing around, some of them are practicing. Practicing for Ultimate Frisbee. The Appalachian ultimate Frisbee team, better known as the Alien Mountain Nomads, competed in a tournament at Guilford college the weekend of March 29-31. The Nomads came in second, losing to the defending na­ tional champions. In fact, the Nomads are ranked 24th in the nation. With such good standings it is sur­ prising more students don't know about them. The Nomads are a club team in the fall, rtieaning anyone can play, and a school team in the spring, which is only open to college students. Everyone is welcome to tryout. There is also a girls ultimate team for any in­ terested females. f t Playing Frisbee is fun, but ultimate Frisbee is also a lot of work. Ultimate Frisbee, which is best described as a cross between football and soccer requires skill, and is full of strategy and special throws. There are no referees which is one of the reasons ultimate club president Mark A. Smith, a senior from Wilson, enjoys the game so much. "Ultimate is a sport where there is an underlying value for sportsmanship and re­ spect for everyone you play for and against," says Wilson. "There are no referees so you must rely on mutual respect." Brian R Cloninger, a freshman from Henderson and a member of the ultimate team says he thinks the Nomads could win the na­ tionals. That is harder than it sounds. Three of the top five national teams are from North Carolina. The Nomads are selling Frisbee discs with their logo on them in order to raise funds for the program. These discs will be available at their next tournament for $8 the weekend after Easter break at State Farm. once an hour for the entire day. Weekend ments are taped early, giving Schaaf the w end ofif. Schaaf was working at Booth before landed the anchor job. "I was working... a part-time gopher, saysShaaf.

This genre has its own legion of fans that understand its ethics and musical intent. But, as with every good thing that creeps into the music world, someone has to come along to make it acces­ sible to the mainstream. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. Bands like God Lives Underwater have blended pop and industrial music into a perfectly list enable blend. The only problem is that they haven't broken into the mainstream. Such a travesty (that most of the good bands stay virtually unknown) leaves the door open for bands like Stabbing Westward. They step in a pseudo-industrial sound and fool the uneducated record buying public into believing that they are authentic. On their new album, Wither Blis­ ter Burn and Peel (Columbia), Stab­ bing Westward assume the facade of angst-ridden industrial godheads with trite lyrical content and borrowed musical pieces to create a thoroughly boring and unlistenable album. Of the 10 songs on Wither, 7 start with the word "I" and "I" remains the focal point of virtually every song on this album. Sure, most albums of to­ day relay some sort of self-pity mes­ sage or "listen to my problem" idea, but Stabbing Westward takes it too far.

Schaaf gets her news from The Watauga Democrat and the Associated Press wire service. Even though the news is often behind, many local resi­ dents and students may not find out what's going on in their community any other way.

Public reaction to the new seg- ment has been more positive than negative. Shaaf calls most of the criti­ cism constructive. "It was hard at first, but... everyone gets criticized." A lot of people have been calling (and) saying they want to see the en­ tertainment section." Reactions from family and friends are quite positive. "They love it," says Shaaf. "They thought it was better than it was going to be." For those who are curious to know what is written on the papers on Shaaf s desk during the broadcast, she points out that they're blank. Like all anchors, at the end of the broadcast, Shaaf either writes on the papers or shuffles them. "They just told me to do that," says Shaaf. "You just don't want to stare at the camera." Viewers should also note that the background is fake. The wall of com­ puters is actually an eight-foot card­ board picture sent from Headline News in Atlanta. Barlage says Shaaf has done well from the very beginning. "(Her suc­ cess) speaks well of Appalachian and the departments she came out of." "I enjoy it a lot," says Shaaf. "I'm really lucky."

There comes a point in the show where "the Champ" will juggle three items provided by the audience for a count of ten. If "the champ" succeeds, he gets a standing ovation. If he fails, he gets a face full of shaving cream (a pie in the face). Past audience contribu­ tions have included A dead octopus, a Cadet Chris Barr computer, and the dreaded ... Slinky. "I think the Slinky is the single most popular item," says Patterson. "Butter is always big, as are balloons filled with marbles, condoms filled with water - It's distressing to see how easily the condoms break." How does The Champ do it? "If I can hit the right mental state I can pretty much juggle anything," says Patterson. "If I editorialize it all, it uses too much brain. So I can't think, 'Hey, this is going great,' or, 'Ouch, that hurts!' Patterson says when he hits that perfect state, it feels like he is watch­ ing the objects juggle itself. "I some­ times have to work really hard for it," says Patterson. "But I have learned to aim for thirteen counts instead of ten." How does Patterson deal with the fear of humiliation should he fail to juggle for ten counts and then get pied in the face? "I close my eyes," he says humbly. Patterson and the rest of the brothers are mid-way through their current touring schedule which takes them through the summer in the United States.

Sigma Phi Epsilon and Kappa Sigma Fraternities �Page 10 Peterson named 17th basketball coach atASU • Former assistant returns as head coach Trista Talton Reporter Appalachian athletics director Roachel Laney announced Buzz Peterson as the men's basketball coach at a midday news conference yesterday. Laney introduced Peterson as a competi,tor and coach that "will get the job done." He also made the comment that Peterson is going to bring Appalachian energy, enthusiasm and the desire to be successful. Peterson, a native of Asheville, is pleased he and his family are being located in the area. "I love the community and the University." He and his wife Jan have a four-year-old daugh­ ter, Nicole, and are expecting a second girl in June. He started his coaching career at Appala­ chian nine years ago as an assistant. After two seasons Peterson left the Mountaineers with a 36-21 overall record to assist East Tennessee State's Les Robinson. Peterson's next move was to North Caro­ lina State where he remained Robinson's as­ sistant coach. He spent three years with the Wolfpack compiling a 20-11 mark in his first season and advancing to the 1991 NCAA tour­ nament. The past three seasons at Vanderbilt, where he served as associate head coach, hold evidence that Peterson will help the Mountain­ eers' potential. The Commodores saw a 51-41 record and participated in two National Invi­ tation Tournaments under Peterson's direction. Perhaps Peterson is most noted for his col­ lege basketball career with the North Caro­ lina Tar Heels. He is a member of the NCAA Championship squad of 1982. During the 1984-'85 season, Peterson was voted Outstand­ ing Senior by his teammates. He finished his career with the Tar Heels with a 115-22 record. The Cleveland Cavaliers drafted Peterson in 1986. He also played professional basket­ ball in Belgium and the Continental Basket­ ball Association (CBA). Coach Peterson is now focusing his abili­ ties on the Mountaineers. "We intend to re­ cruit the total student athlete. We will treat players as a student first, a person second and an athlete third," said Peterson. "Our win­ ning philosophy will be to achieve goals." Peterson wants his players to leave Ap­ palachian well spoken, educated and prepared players. Coach Linda Robinson appeared at the news conference and gave Peterson a warm hug, leaving many with the feeling that the gesture was a good sign of future Mountain­ eer achievement. Coach Robinson is not the only prominent figure pleased with Appalachian's choice. "We're happy for Buzz and Appalachian State's basketball program," said Carolina Tar Heel coach Dean Smith. "It should work out extremely well for both their team and Buzz's professional career. Not only does he have his background as a player here at Carolina, but he's also learned a great deal as an assistant coach since his graduation from Chapel Hill. He's an intelligent young man who will work very hard to build a winning program at Appalachian and do so within NCAA rules." "Selecting Buzz Peterson as head coach was a wise decision," said Tar Heel alumnus and cur­ rent Chicago Bulls player Michael Jordan. "In addi­ tion to a genuine love of the game, Buzz brings with him the skill and know-how to produce a championship team. As my life-long friend, he has my sincere con­ gratulations, as well as my full support. I have no doubt that he'll do an outstanding job." Peterson will start recruiting for the 199697 season Friday. He said he already has po­ tential recruits. "In addition to a genuine love of the game, Buzz brings with him the skill and know-how to produce a championship team." — Michael Jordan App baseball crushes Catamounts Mike Daniels Sports Editor Appalachian's baseball team had a very productive Easter break. The team only went 3-2 over the past week's games, but the Apps came out in force in a three game series with Western Carolina, in which the Mountaineers knocked in a total of 40 runs. Before their barage on the Catamounts, the Apps played host to Radford University. The Mountaineers were able to pull out a close one, 6-5, behind the strong pitching of freshman reliever Will Lathon, who picked up his first win of the season. At the plate, senior left fielder Brent Payton knocked in two runs on two hits and scored one himself. The win brought the Apps' win­ ning streak to nine in a row. Two days later, the Mountaineers traveled south to take on Western Carolina in Cullowhee. In their strongest offensive output of the year, the Apps were able to take both ends of a double-header by the scores of 15-12 and 20-6. Senior Brent Payton racked up a team high four hits along with four trips across the plate and three runs batted in. Senior catcher Shane Owenby also knocked in three runs on three hits and crossed the plate twice. Senior sec­ ond baseman Chris Rodriguez also knocked in three and scored two. While Western Carolina's pitching was non-existent, the Catamounts bats did make the game a challenge for the Apps. WCU roughed up Appalachian starter Scott Musgrave for six runs in four innings before he was pulled in the fifth. But Musgrave's relief didn't do much to shut down the home team's offense either. Senior Phil Falco allowed three runs in his three innings and winning pitcher Jason Crews also gave up three in less than two full innings. Unfourtunately for the Ca tamounts, their pitching only got worse in the second game, and the home team could not mount the kind of offense needed to match the Mountaineers in this nightcap slaughter. Sophomore Norm Vest pitched the entire game to pick up his fifth win of the season despite giving up six runs. With the kind of offensive support that Vest had, he could eas­ ily afford to allow a couple runs without put­ ting any pressure on himself. The Mountaineers seemed to never relent at the plate. Almost every Appalachian player got a piece of the action. Owenby led the team in runs batted in, with five behind four hits. Senior third baseman Tim Puscian led the team in runs scored, with four, while also batting in Owenby Payton three more on two hits. As a team, the Mountaineers were able to pile up 16 hits, 18 runs batted in and 10 walks before the game was called in the seventh in­ ning due to the dark and the fact that the game was pretty much decided. Finally, after 11 games, Appalachian lost one. Western Caro­ lina, probably inspired by the embarrassment of the day before, came out strong and were able to shut down the Appalachian offensive machine of the previous day. Winning pitcher Mark DiFelice held the Apps to five runs on 14 hits, not exactly a spec­ tacular performance, but enough to get the job done for the Catamounts. Appalachian actually led most of the way. In the ninth inning, Western Carolina, threat­ ened with a sweep, poured on four runs, and took the game from the Mountaineers 8-5. The next day, Appalachian traveled to Cookeville, TN to take on Tennessee Tech. Having already lost to the Mountaineers once this season, the Techies proved to be a much better pitching group than the Catamounts had been. Starter Matt Chodak pitched six strong innings for the hosts and got his first win of the season. Taking the loss for the Apps was junior Will Reeves who dropped to 2-3. Appalachian, now 22-13, will take on con­ ference foe Davidson later this week before coming home for a seven game homestand begining April 13 with North Carolina A 8t T. Track teams run wild in Baleigh Mike Daniels Sports Editor The Appalachian men's and women's out­ door track teams both competed at the Raleigh Relays held two weeks ago at NC State. Both teams turned in outstanding performances. Senior Robert "Poose" Johnson qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the triple jump with a mark of 52' 2 1/2". Junior Todd Poremba broke the school pole vault record of 16' 2" set in 1979 with a jump of 16' 4 3/4". The new mark gives Poremba the school ecord in the pole vault, both indoor and outloor. Freshman Will Dickerson qualified for the USA Track and Field Nationals in the 5000 meter with a time of 14:58.65. Junior Rich Latta threw the hammer 170' 8", third on Appalachian's all-time list. For the women, junior Ayokka Green broke her shot put record again with a throw of 47' 2". Green finished second in the meet. Junior Christina Olson ran the 3000 meter in 10:13.46 to move into the eighth spot on Appalachian's all-time list. Junior Lisa Roberts also took an eighth ranking in the ASU record books with a mark of 3T 111/2" in the triple jump. The Mountaineer track teams have since competed at the Duke Invitational in Durham.

Appalachian had to fight off a tough Charleston Southern team, 4-3, to end the month of March. The team got key wins from Zach Sharpe and Frank Connor, who won their singles matches at the fifth and sixth spots respectively and teamed up to win 8-6 at third doubles. Also participating in two Mountaineers wins was first singles/first doubles man Pedro Lopes, who won his singles match on a tiebreaker, then teamed up with Mannuel Zapata to win a doubles match 8-4. The Mountaineers were then able to cruise through two 7-0 victories over UNCAsheville and VMI before their most impor­ tant match of the seaAppalachian son against East Ten­ nessee State. ha d t o f i g h t o f f Coming into the match at ETSU, the a tough Mountaineers had not Charleston beaten the Buccaneers Southern team, in almost 20 years. 4-3, to end the East Tennessee has al­ ways been a tennis month of power in the Southern March. Conference, of which they were champions last year. Leading the Apps to victory in this one were second and sixth singles men Greg May and Frank Connor. May and Connor won both of their singles matches, then teamed up for a crucial second doubles win. _ With the match all tied up at 3-3, the whole thing came down to the fourth singles match between Appalachian's Marcin Zabor and ETSU's Sunil Muley. Zabor took the first set 6-1, then lost the second set on a tiebreaker before pulling out a gut-wrench­ ing third set 7-5.

Martin said a program at North Carolina Central University requires jB to contribute a certain amount of semester hours in public service in to graduate.

The fraternity petitioned club counmonth as a special interest group and n club status. Last semester, the fraternity was rebythe InterFraternity Council and tried M the decision. The decision of IFC Wd by Dino DiBernardi, director of the Center for Student Involvement and Leader­ ship. Due to this, Pi Lambda Phi was not able to use campus facilities or hold rush on cam­ pus. Peter A. Abernathy, next year's presi­ dent, said although Pi Lambda Phi is consid­ ered a club, it is still an all male social fraternity. Now that the fraternity is recognized by the university, they will be able to rush on cam­ pus and set up information tables about their fraternity. "To grow, we need to have support on campus," said Abernathy. He also said they receive all the privileges that IFC would grant them, except for being a part of IFC's rush. "This is the best route to go," said Abernathy. "We've gotten our charter and we're here to stay." According to Abernathy, Pi Lambda Phi has 67 founding fathers and has been a colony for seven years. Abernathy hopes with club status, the fraternity will be able to increase their num­ bers. "When you can't set up on campus, it is hard to get members," he said. Abernathy hopes to recruit about 15 to 20 men for the fall semester rush. Abernathy said there are mixed feel­ ings about the new status of the fraternity, but he believes it will be good for Pi Lambda Phi. James Connor, the vice-president of Pi Lambda Phi said, "I think club status will be great for the fraternity and for others on campus." "We've been really strong here and we hope to double our size next year," said Abernathy. iree suspects arrested in larcenies me Carter /riter Three suspects in the Joe Williams' were found by Morganton "d are currently being held by the >unty sheriff's department.

A total of 84 warrants will be given to the three suspects from university police and additional warrants will be served from Burke and Asheville counties, where the suspects have also been accused as stealing car equipment. "We are very lucky to have found these suspects so quickly," said Foster. "I didn't have any leads, witnesses, or information re­ garding the larcenies and was afraid that this situation would take more time to resolve." Foster is working with the Morganton police department to collect and identify stu­ dents' stolen property, which will be returned to the victims. Correction In the March 28 issue of The Appalachianf Delta Chi was reported to be sponsoring a food drive with Lambda Chi. In fact, it was Delta Zeta sorority. We regret the error. Former Charlotte mayor and Repub­ lican gubernatorial candidate Richard Vinroot made a brief campaign stop in Boone Drug Saturday morning to expound on the themes of his campaign, which are crime, education and economic growth. Citing his record as mayor of Char­ lotte, he said he was able to eliminate 700 unnecessary government jobs by consolidat­ ing departments and use the money saved to increase spending for Charlotte's fire and po­ lice departments from 30 percent to 50 per­ cent. Vinroot also said he cut spending in Charlotte by privatizing public services such as garbage collection. This allowed private companies to bid for government contracts, thus ensuring these governmental services were carried out in the most cost-effective manner. Vinroot said the UNC system is the third best state university system in the na­ tion, but this sadly contrasts with the North Carolina public school system's status as 48th in the United States. "We're not going to have good jobs unless we have good schools," said Vinroot. Vinroot also favors decentralizing the state's school systems and sending block grants from Raleigh to county and city school boards to be used as they see fit. "Fm going to do more for the poorer counties than for the wealthier ones," said Vinroot. "The wealthier counties can do more for themselves." Vinroot is in favor of cutting taxes and simplifying the North Carolina tax sys­ tem in order to increase the state's competi­ tiveness. He said his low-tax policy in Char­ lotte created 14,000 jobs last year, which he believes is good news to graduating seniors. Vinroot said as an inner-city Boy Scout Master in Charlotte, he saw the effects of the current welfare system personally. He believes in its current form the system en­ courages illegitimacy, irresponsibility and de­ pendence. "There are people coming to this country who can't even speak the language, but they are working hard and making it, while people borri here, who speak the lan­ guage, aren't malting it," said Vinroot. "Gov­ ernment should do those things for us that we can't do for ourselves." Vinroot outlined his plan for curb­ ing the rising crime rate. "If I have my way, we're going to have early opportunities to take criminal offenders off of the streets and put them in boot camps or work farms." Vinroot faces off with Robin Hayes in the Republican primary on May 7. The candidate who secures the nomination will go on to challenge Governor Jim Hunt in the general election in the fall. Rose teaches to a new beat Special to The Appalachian Dr. Liz Rose, a professor of music at Appalachian, has turned a background as a middle school music teacher and an interest in West African studies into a music program for students at Watauga County's Network Academy. Students at the academy, who range from sixth grade up to high school, receive more individual academic instruction and hands-on learning experiences than students in public schools. As an added bonus, they have a mu­ sic program unlike others in the county. Rose brings students from the academy to Appala­ chian one afternoon a week to play West Afri­ can drums. "The goal is not performance," Rose said. "There is no wrong way to play drums. I let the students find their own way with the instruments, and it's a great way to express themselves." Rose started the program in the fall of 1994 with a grant from the First Baptist Church on King Street in Boone. The church raised $2,200, which Rose used to buy the drums. The students showed an overwhelm­ ing interest in the drums, and Rose took them to Parkway Elementary to perform for a kin­ dergarten class. "The kindergartners' interest in the drums and the older students was uncondi­ tional," Rose said. "They were fascinated. The teachers and the principal were very impressed with the way their students interacted with the students from the academy." Elementary education and music majors at Appalachian have also volunteered to help the academy students learn how to play the drums, and Rose said it has been a valu­ able learning tool for all the students. "It gives the teaching majors an idea of what it is like to be in a classroom, and the see Rose page 3 Appalachian is published with support from Appalachian's Center for Student Involvement and Leadership.

This lawsuit is against sa lone thing: unconstitutional race-based scholarships, ie Carolina these scholarships amount to 1.6 million 'Ars and are distributed as gifts to people who meet (^•criteria: First, the person applying for the grant must ro jjancially needy. Second, to qualify for the grant, a >1 fent must be a minority at that institution. This means \ that a white student applying to a historically black insti­ tution is eligible as well as an African-American student applying to a predominantly white institution. Therefore, these race-based scholarships are discriminatory to every­ one. It was the original intent of these rase-based scholar­ ships to make up for past discriminatory practices that caused minorities to have restricted access to universities. Today, however, each North Carolina resident is eligible to attend whichever institution he or she desires. There is now longer a need to continue the practice of gifts from the state to increase opportunity. If a student of any color truly needs financial aid, it is available. However, the pres­ ence grant is different. To get this additional financial aid you must be of the race which your University is looking to increase in presence. When most of us apply to a Univer­ sity, we are not considered or even eligible for this type of race-based grant simply because our skin is the wrong color. How is America ever going to consider itself colorblind" if we do not have truly colorblind laws? To give more financial aid to someone because of the color of their skin is clearly not the actions of a colorblind nation. The state and federal government have money available for students who need financial aid, but to get any of the extra money you must have the right color skin for the university you wish to attend. Hopefully, this lawsuit in­ tended to end racial discrimination is talcing America one step closer to a truly colorblind nation. lo Michael D. Hagerty, Jr. ASU Box 15223 tit these students are out to tear down years of Civil Rights action and annihilate the chances of blacks going to uni­ versities is a load of horse hockey. The lawsuit boils down to a simple scenario. White students who are attending predominately "white" col­ leges are ineligible for the Minority Presence Grants be­ cause of their race. The other details don't really matter. What has happened in the past, the amount of white-onblack racism that still abounds today, the stereotyped eco­ nomic stance of blacks- all of that is irrelevant. These students were denied access to a government sponsored event due to their race. It's discrimination- period. If you don't believe me, just change the words in the first sentence in this paragraph around to read: "The lawsuit boils down to a simple scenario, black students who are attending predominately "white" col­ leges are ineligible for the Caucasian Presence Grants be­ cause of their race." That sentence has a whole new ring to it now, doesn't it? Not only are these scholarships and other set aside affirmative action programs tainted with reverse discrimi­ nation, they also defeat the entire purpose of the Civil Rights movement: that we would become a color blind society. The day where people could be judged on their accomplishments and qualifications, and not on their race, sex or whatever "need" they hold is still far off in the dis­ tance. If and when such programs as the one named in this heroic suit are put to rest, we will move closer to that glorious day. Until then, we will wallow in an endless cycle of name-calling, stereotyping of "need" based solely on race, false charges of bigotry, and blind compassion. The students who filed this lawsuit should be hailed as heroes who are battling for their own civil rights. Any­ body who would deny them this chance to let their voices be heard is guilty of doing something worse than "keep­ ing tensions alive," they're burying them before the fight is over.

One of Gibson's reasons for joining the fraternity is his passion for community service. He serves as a member of the Mountaineer Athletic Service Team (MAST), a tutor for Appalread, and as a track instructor for Chris­ tian Sports Camp. Gibson says Phi Beta Sigma, whose motto is "Cultural for Service and Ser­ vice for Humanity," shared his commitment to the community. One of Gibson's first community projects as a member of the fraternity was Project Headstart. Project Headstart helps children in Boone prepare for kindergarten. After observing the bond shared between Sigmas on the track team, as well as the un­ conditional support their organization gave members, Gibson decided to join. "During the intake process 1 grew a lot and learned a lot of history that I would not normally learn in high school about the heri­ tage of African-Americans," says Gibson. Gibson received the name "White Light­ ning" during the intake process because of his tremendous speed as a hurdles runner for Appalachian's track team. Gibson says his family and friends have all been proud and supportive of his accom­ plishment, and no one has voiced negative comments over his joining of a traditionally black fraternity When asked what Phi Beta Sigma means to him, Gibson says, "Phi Beta Sigma will for­ ever be in my heart with friendships that will never end."

Today a single letter will be handled by at least 11 people before it ever reaches your hands. According to David C. Hill, a mail clerk for Appalachian's Post Office, most people would be impressed by the complicated and involved process required in delivering the mail. What's really amazing is how much mail the Appalachian Post Office handles and the degree of accuracy with which they deliver it. The Appalachian Post Office is composed of 30 employees,11 of which are full-time. The rest are students and temporary employees. Last year, the Post Office handled approxi­ mately 4,883,000 pieces of incoming mail. The Post Office sent out approximately 1.5 million pieces of official Appalachian correspondence. The Appalachian Post Office operates like any other United States Post Office. They of­ fer services including express mail, cash on delivery, money orders and mail forwarding. They register and certify mail pieces and sell postage stamps. In addition, the Post Office picks up and delivers all Appalachian depart­ ment mail. By handling all inter-campus mail, the uni­ versity saves money. Last year alone, the uni­ versity saved close to $493,000 on postage. Post Office Manager Greg Y. Foster has been with Appalachian for 15 years and knows the post office business inside and out. "I think I have the best department on campus," says Foster. One of the reasons for such a smooth op­ eration is the experience and dedication of his staff. "We have low employment turnover," says Foster. "The average worker has been with us 13 years." Not to say that the Post Office doesn't make mistakes, but when they do, they deal with it. "We deal with too many people and too much mail not to make mistakes, but when we do, we try our best to fix it," says Foster. "We don't usually get very many complaints though." Maintenance mechanic Milton Foster has been working for the Post Office for 13 years. He says, "We all take pride in our job. We work hard to render good services to the university." With the increasing number of students coming to Appalachian, the Post Office is faced with finding additional space to accommodate them. The inexpensive and immediate alterna­ tive would be to add some freestanding, ffontloading mail boxes. However, this solu­ tion would only temporarily pacify the prob­ lem as Appalachian continues to grow. Another possibility is to set up an auxil- iary post office on the other side of campus. Jim S. Trivette, Post Office window clerk, is in favor of this solution. "In the long run, though it would cost more money, it would solve the problem, not delay it." The Post Office would also like to begin selling mail materials within the Post Office, rather than putting the burden on the book­ store. "It would be more convenient for the students, and we would be able to help them with their packaging problems," says Trivette. Tim Trivette helps an Appala.chian student at the ASU post office.

BILKO WANTS YOU Steven Mackay Reporter Hollywood has once again taken a chance on their most rocky of theo­ ries - that fondly remembered old tele­ vision shows make solid ideas for sure­ fire hit movies. A rather odd practice, there have been some spectacular winners ("The Fugitive") and some abysmal losers ("The Beverly Hillbillies") in this game of chance. Fortunately, their latest reincarna­ tion falls into the winners circle. Based on a running skit on the 1950's "The Phil Silvers Show," "Sgt. Bilko," now showing at the Chalet, is a trooper. Thankfully, there's not much of a plotline, which probably would have been generic and sappy anyway, to drag the film down. Master Sergeant/conmam Bilko (Steve Martin) and his platoon have fun, shirk duty, oversleep, make money illegally and literally horse around under the nose of their colonel (Dan Aykroyd). Their only real worry is Bilko's arch-enemy, the well-named Major Thorn (Phil Hartman). If you're getting the shaky feel­ ing that this is a "Saturday Night Live" alumni special, you're right. Another ex-"SNL' draftee is Chris Rock as a base inspector-zombie from the Pentagon. Off base hi-jinks center around Bilko's habit of forgetting to show up at the church on time to marry his long time fiance (Gleanne Headley of "Mr. Holland's Opus"). It's that simple. The PG-rated "Sgt. Bilko" offers nothing but good, clean laughs. Unlike such dreadful recycled fare as the aforementioned "Hillbillies," toilet humor hasn't been added to "age up" this family fare. Also surprising is how smart these characters can be at times. Whether they're hiding the motor pool's casino or visiting the real casinos in Vegas (noticing a pattern here?) while out on field exercises, these troops are al­ ways ahead of their superiors. We're never actually laughing at Bilko and his gang, we're more likely to be laughing with them. Martin returns to his "wild and crazy" Slick Willie persona after a long succession of playing the straight man in such films as "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" and "Father of the Bride." The supporting cast know he is the general jester, and they fall into formation accordingly. A "Stripes" for today's audience, "Sgt.

The proposed dates for the referendum are April 16 and 17 in the ait union. Volume 70, Number 40 said Hagerty. According to the complaint, the in­ stitutions in the University of North Carolina system practiced formal discrimination from its beginning in 1789 until the mid-1900s against African-Americans in that they were not permitted to enjoy the same access to and benefits from the university as white citizens. According to the complaint, the plain­ tiffs believe this grant program was legitimate when they were first introduced up until 1980. They now say times have changed and that racist policies against African-American stu­ dents have ended; therefore these grants are not necessary. Harry L. Williams, assistant director of admissions at Appalachian, said, "We have a responsibility to try to work together and de­ segregate higher education.

In the past, the system of higher edu­ cation was segregated and African-American and white students did not have the choice of attending just any school, said Williams. As a part of recruitment, these mi­ nority presence incentive grants were originally offered to African-American students in the North Carolina system as a federal mandate. The federal guideline for these grants stipulated that the student must qualify for fi­ nancial aid. They have to complete the fed­ eral financial aid form. Williams said if an African-American student is trying to get in at Appalachian but does not have the money, the grant will encourage him. He said a student of middle class would not be accepted for the grant because he would have to qualify through federal guidelines. "It's not a give-me-grant," said Will­ iams. "It's based on need." According to Williams, each univer­ sity receives a different allotment of the grant from the state depending on their location and population. He said the majority of students at Appalachian come from within a two-hour radius and the African-American population in this area is small, so the University receives a smaller amount of the grant than schools like the UNC-Chapel Hill. An approximate total of $1.6 mil­ lion is allotted for these grants statewide with $49,000 going toward Appalachian. The students receiving grants are awarded between $600-$l,500 based on their financial need. Williams said Appalachian tries to support 48 students with this grant. "It's about trying to make things bet­ ter in our society," said Williams. The other universities involved in the lawsuit are the University of North Carolina School of Law at Chapel Hill, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Western Carolina University and the University of North Caro­ lina at Asheville. was vacant, and the director of systems and special projects, the posi­ tion held by Rapp. "I believe it will make our operation more efficent by combining the two Rapp offices and it will provide me with a different goal," said Rapp. As the new associate vice chancel­ lor for administration, Rapp will be respon­ sible for the handling of financial aspects of the University along with the telephone op­ erations of Appalachian. Rapp will also work with purchas­ ing, the budget office, the central warehouse, the post office, and systems and special projects. Rapp came to Appalachian as a pro­ fessor in 1971 in the technology department. He received his bachelor's degree in indus­ trial arts from Kent State University in I960 and his master's degree in 1965. Rapp re­ ceived a doctor of education degree from the University of Northern Colorado in 1972. Rapp said his major goal in this new office is reviewing business systems and prac­ tices. He said he hopes to find ways to refine business affairs by eliminating unnecesary steps. Rapp said by reengineering the sys­ tem they can hopefully reduce paper work and cost, which will make the office more ef­ fective. Rapp is currently meeting with and talking to the different units on campus about their work and any ideas they have on chang­ ing operations. "Dr. Rapp's expertise in the area of systems and processes and his knowledge of the university were critical factors in his ap­ pointment," said Jane Helm, vice chancellor for business afffairs.

The experimental forest monitors the °'carbon dioxide on pine forests. This is made possible by placing PVC pipes in a circle measuring 100 feet in diameter. These pipes are connected to a 20-foot tank containing carbon dioxide. The gas, which is released continu­ ously from the pipes, is sprayed on the entire population of trees. On Saturday, the students began their day with a visit to a pocosin, a Native Ameri­ can term for wetlands, which are dominated by shrubs. These wetlands are called fire- domi­ nated systems, because fire is needed for them to grow effectively. Serotinous pine trees in the system need fire or their cones will not open. The system is burned every five to 10 years by those who manage the forest. Neufeld pointed out that since these areas are termed wetlands, most people are shocked to find that they rely on fire as a catalyst for growth.

After a brief visit to an aquarium south of Atlantic Beach, the members of the trip were able to see the productive areas of Cedar Point Recreational Area, located near Swansboro. Neufeld said within this area, cord grass domi­ nates the marsh, while fiddler crabs can be seen in abun­ dance. Loblolly pines also grow in the area. With Sunday mark­ ing the end of the three-day trek, Fort Fisher, South Port and Green Swamp remained to be visited by the students. Green Swamp, lo­ cated in Brunswick County, seemed to have the greatest effect on one student of the trip. Junior Becky L. Higgins said, "It was my fa­ vorite part of the trip because we were able to see carnivo­ rous plants such as the venus flytrap." Neufeld said venus flytraps grow only in that area. Neufeld said within this fire dominated savanna, 50 percent of the wetlands have been lost in the last 20 years. Neufeld said the trip is taken each year because it which are difficult tobewn Appalachian's in Boone due to the weather. He further added that these areas have received a great deal of attention lately because of endangerment from pollution. Junior Claire E. Bird said, "It was educational and it was interesting to see a coastal environment." As one of the many trips offered through the biology department, the trip to the coast of North Carolina allowed students to gain insight into ecosystems which exist on the eastern seaboard. Although conditions Were often rainy, students were still able to reap the benefits of a hands-on learning experience. Qr Howard Neufeld taught his students about ecosystems by taking them on a weekend trip t0 different systems all over North Carolina.

Professors and students at Appalachian will observe how human activities affect greenhouse gas emis­ sions, which in turn affect the Earth's climate. Those activities include burn­ ing fossil fuels, the release of ozonedepleting compounds, and clearing land for agriculture, neighborhoods and shopping centers. What will make the project unique will be its suggestions for how mankind will have to adapt 30 years from now to climate changes and how well prepared local governments will be to handle changes. "We're excited about this project because it could have some very practical results," said Dr. Mike Mayfield, acting chair of the depart­ ment of geography and planning. "But the biggest benefit will be to the un­ dergraduate and graduate students who work on the project. They will be exposed to an international pool of scholars." The project has already drawn the attention of at least one prominent geographer, Bob Kates, who visited Appalachian in 1994. Mayfield said Kates is perhaps the best known geographer in the field. The assistantship paved the way for a $50,000 grant from the North Carolina State Energy Office and the Environmental Protection Agency, which enabled the geography and planning department to conduct a greenhouse gas inventory for North Carolina. "We place a heavy emphasis on student involvement in research projects, and I have heard from gradu­ ates of the department that it makes a big difference in their careers," Mayfield said. Along with the mountain and piedmont areas of North Carolina, studies will also be conducted in Kan­ sas and Ohio. Mayfield said Appala­ chian is fortunate because the study area is diverse. "We have a good mix of ru­ ral and urban areas in the vicinity, and we can examine all the factors that affect climate," he said. "Even though we're looking at a relatively small area, it will be a good representation of what is occurring globally." The first phase of the project started March 1 and is scheduled to end March 1,1997. Mayfield said de­ pending on how the project proceeds, the department could receive an ad­ ditional $50,000 per year for the next two years to continue research.

Accuracy and Public Service since 1936 Our opinion... Referendum gives students chance to voice concerns This year, the Student Government Association has passed little legislation which would make ad­ ministration think about the university's course of action. Instead, our student government has concerned itself with hosting forums aimed at giving students a place to discuss issues and doing community-service type activities. Until now. In Tuesday's SGA senate meeting, leg­ islation was finally passed which will allow students to vote on a referendum focused on the proposed parking deck. Referendums like this force the university admin­ istration to recognize students as a voice on this cam­ pus. They let the administration know that students are aware of what is going on around us, and what's more, we care what happens to our campus. Students do realize that the original survey, con­ ducted by the office of Business Affairs, was lacking in scope. It was sent only to people with automo­ biles registered on campus. And out of 8,000 sent, only 800 were returned and only 126 of those were from students. Many students expressed concern about the fact that a central drop-point was not established, thereby making it more difficult for students to express their feelings on the issue. Others simply did not feel that turning in their survey really mattered. Apparently many students did not realize this survey was their opportunity, no matter how small, to let the administration know how they felt about such an important issue. This SGA referendum will give students a sec­ ond chance to let the administration know exactly how strongly we as a student body feel about having a parking deck erected in the middle of our campus. Too often, students pass by booths on campus aimed at letting them know what is happening on campus. This is one issue we simply cannot let pass us by without speaking out. SGA belongs to the students. It is run by stu­ dents for students. As such, the student body needs to take part in this upcoming referendum, tentatively scheduled for April 16 and 17. Let the administra­ tion know that we are a voice to be heard, and we know how to speak up for what we feel is important. By definition, SGA is only a recommending body, and as such has very little say in what the adminis­ tration of our university does. The president of SGA has one vote on the board of trustees. It is the duty of the president to vote on that board according to the wishes of the student body. Since Darby Weaver attended her last Board of Trustees meeting last week, the responsibility of rep­ resenting the student voice will rest with Kaye Cranford next year. Students who voted for Cranford and Yepko, as well as those who voted for Little and Hardy, must vote in the referendum and make their student government work for them. The process simply will not work without stu­ dent participation. If you support a parking deck on campus then let your voice be heard. But if you op­ pose the parking deck and are simply to apathetic to vote against it, then when they build it and your fees increase, your money is running low and you feel like whining, keep your mouth shut.

Un­ fortunately, sometimes the efforts these discoveries prompt are shallow, backward and unproductive. A few months ago, in the wake of the whole Aldwin Lance (who was later cleared of all charges) mess, the selftitled "Guerilla Grrls" put up posters all over campus and King Street. These posters, which were nothing more than a waste of paper, accused Chancellor Borkowski of giving special treatment to a student athlete. While most students wrestled with the issue of the athlete's accusal of guilt, the "Guerilla Grrls" focused on false Conspiracy theory. No matter how much power the Chancellor has, he obviously cannot sway campus police to act in an illegal manner. 1 seriously doubt Dr. Borkowski would want any student found guilty of assault to con­ tinue their education here at Appalachian. Why is it that these "grrls" chose to distribute their little posters (which most people tore down and hardly anyone took seriously), when they could have written an editorial column expressing their views? Perhaps these "activists" don't realize that The Appa­ lachian is read by the entire administration at this univer­ sity. Whatever the case, their inability to buck up and truly put their money where their mouths are proves how stu­ pid even they thought their protest was. Last semester, the sculpture outside Walker Hall, also known as "The Big Purple Butt," was covered with a tarp, and a sign was placed on the placard next to it. The sign read, "If this is great art, why not move it to a more visible place such as the new Alumni Center? We really don't care where it goes, but we are tired of looking at it." I think "The Butt," is just as hideous as the "Citizens for Campus Beautification," (who put the sign up) do. The difference between myself and these people is that I have respect for the artist. Just because I turn the other way when approaching Walker Hall to avoid looking at the sculpture, doesn't mean Cagle, who recently expressed her opinion on hazj inS>in J I have the right to cover it up.

When I wrote about Shan­ non Faulkner last semester, I received a couple of harassing phone calls.

When I wrote about the hate messages in the tunnel and gay rights in two separate col­ umns, I got several calls from men who called me a "dyke," thinking this would really get to me. None of these homophobe bigots would give me their name. I told them if they were too ignorant to read an article in its entirety (I stated in both col­ umns that I am heterosexual but support freedom of choice), then they could take it up with me in a letter to the editor.

Fraternity bonding, not hazing To the Editor: In reply to the article "Hazing practices are shame­ ful," I have several comments to share with the Appala­ chian community. I'd like to address the issue of the fresh­ man band orientation. Freshman band members are known as "duckies." They wear duck shaped name tags with their name and section listed. They are asked, not told, to take part in the marching band "orientation." Freshman band members do not get to go to Orientation Phase II because of limited practice time before the opening football game. So, the band provides that orientation. To my knowledge, and I've been a member of the marching band for seven years here at Appalachian, no one has ever worn, or been asked, "to wear duck bills." The freshmen in the band are asked to be duckies mainly to get to know one another. We have mentors from different sections in the band who help the "duckies" move into their residence halls, show them where the dining ar­ eas are, explain the registration process to them, help them become acclimated to university life in general, show them where their classroom buildings are, etc. Never has there been any freshman forced to participate in the "ducky" program. Every year we have freshmen who decide not to participate. They choose to miss out on the bonding expe­ rience that comes from being a ducky. We have a ducky president who represents his/her ducky class and is the ducky leader for the next class. This person is picked by his/her ducky class and is respected by the band. To learn to quack together is to build a feeling of togetherness. Many of the old band members quack right along with the freshman class. If there is one thing you can be sure of when you join the band, it is that you are joining a family. Anyone who signs up for the march­ ing band, which is a class, may be in the band. We do not discriminate. We have enough pride in our organization to act like ducks and realize that it is a bonding activity, not one meant to publicly embarrass. Let me again stress that no one is ever forced to be a ducky, they choose to be one. Letter to the Editor: This letter is in response to the editorial written by Renee Cagle concerning hazing practices on campus. I am an active member of a social fraternity on campus and can relate to the occurrences that she highlights in her article. However, I am in total disagreement with the way she chooses to view them. I agree that public displays such as "quacking like ducks" sounds ridiculous, but tasks such as wearing name tags or recognition pins, or carrying pledge books or paddles is far from an act of hazing. If one took the time to inter­ view the majority of the campus, I would guess that very few students would admit that they thought wearing a name tag or recognition pin and carrying various objects was hazing. Most people find pride in organizations such as social, music, or business fraternities, and would appre­ ciate and honor the recognition given by wearing an item that affiliates themselves with the particular group. I am truly sorry that Cagle did not see the point in her pledge period, but is this not a reflection of her own lack of personal dedication and interest in her group? I believe I'd like to address the issue of the Iota Omicron Chap­ ter of Kappa Kappa Psi. We follow a strict hazing policy set up by our national office as well as the hazing policy of Appalachian. We have never been asked about our mem­ bership intake process by anyone on this campus, student or administrator. We have never been sanctioned by the university for hazing. In fact, this is the first time in our four year history on this campus that there have been any questions about our intake proccess. No prospective member is made to participate in any activities that make him/her feel uncomfortable in any way. Our prospective members know this and feel free to tell us if they do not wish to participate in an activity. As for the paddles that members carry, these are not in any way meant to degrade, mentally or physically, any member. Our paddles are objects that we are very proud of. They are a symbol of who our "animal family" is, who our big brother is, and of an organization in which we take great pride in being a member of, or wanting to be a mem­ ber of. No one has to carry a paddle if they do not want to, and we have had prospective members who have not car­ ried their paddles. We have had "signature books" in the past for one reason only - to help prospective members learn the his­ tory of the organization of which they wish to be a part. Hazing is a fast growing political issue that should not be disregarded. However, articles such as "Hazing Prac­ tices are Shameful," only hurt organizations, not help them. Find out the facts about an organization you are interested in joining. Any national office, Kappa Kappa Psi's included, will be happy to send you a copy of their National Consti­ tution and Membership Education Guide if you are inter­ ested in becoming a member. I hope that I have helped to clear up some of the mis­ conceptions brought about by the article by Ms. Cagle. Jenny Jones ASU Box 12743 Squad Leader, Marching Band President of Kappa Kappa Psi that she needs to reinvestigate her purpose in joining such an organization, and the quality of her own organizations pledge education period. As far as her ideas into better alternatives to educate new members, I believe that these alternatives are only effective if supplemented with a strong basis in the history of one's organization. Overall, I hope that the readers of the Appalachian do not feel negatively toward many of the practices listed in Cagle's article. I do not find it fair for her to speak for the whole system when it is obvious that she supports her views with a limited personal experience. I think she should do a lot more research in this topic before she writes another article that does nothing but highlight her own ignorance towards the campus wide situation. Renee, I'm sorry that you did not enjoy pledging, but there are many of us who gained a great deal of education and foremost, pride in our organization through the valuable experience of pledg­ ing. Jason A. Carter ASU Box 18140 SGA election important To the Editor: 1 was deeply impressed by columnist Tim Nicholson's insights into our SGA election, and why 100 percent of students should vote in this election. Why should admin­ istration seriously consider the desires of a student gov­ ernment that represents less than half, or less than all, of the student body? As students, we see ourselves as victims of adminis­ trative decisions and state policy far too often. We can blame no one but ourselves. Who has the right to whine and complain about school policy if they don't make use of our most formal method of input? Tim Nicholson convinced me to vote in the SGA elec­ tion.

I will start by giving a brief overview of Islam an the Nation of Islam. Islam itself means submission« God, and the Islamic God (often referred to as .Allah)! the same as the one worshipped by Christians and Jew People who accept Islam as their religion are called Ma lims. The Koran (or Quran) is the holy book for Muslim The Nation of Islam is a sect of the larger religion ofB lam, just like Roman Catholicism is a sect of Christian^ The Nation of Islam believes in the teachings of Eliji Muhammed, viewed to be a prophet only by the folio" ers of the Nation.

He married his high sc sweetheart, Khadijah. Farrakhan joined the Nation of Islam and even climbed his way up the ladder. He became the mini of Temple Seven in Harlem, after Malcolm X was as nated. Some accuse Farrakhan of having Mak0^. ^ but he only admits to "creating the atmosphere t a to the murder of Malcolm X.

It is in groups that you learn such things how to get others to do your work, how to wse the best possible procrastination stratpes, and how to give an 8 a.m. presentation caffeine hangover you got from cornring your group's project only minutes earAll these and other elements of the group namic do, in fact, prepare us for the busiss world, where group activities are the inn. Groups are extremely important for Mem-solving, the democratic process, and (eloping valuable communication skills. Hieing our group communication skills in lege aches us how to interact with all types people, even those of lower intelligence. 'It teaches you how to work with morons," s Scott H. Guyer, a senior planning major, i this can often be as educational as workwith super geniuses: "I think it's a very aable experience. If you're the best one in the group, then you learn some leadership skills fast, or the whole group suffers." For better or worse, groups are a part of our lives just as we are each a part of groups. And here in college is where we master the language of group communication, including such practical phrases as: "What do you mean 'where's the report?' I thought YOU were typ­ ing it!"; and "Report... what report?" Not that all groups are this slapdash - it's just that very, very many succumb to the four horsemen of group work: procrastination, disorder, conflict, and lack of communication. Each is an enemy of any group, however obscure the task may be. Just ask any college student. They will be happy to tell the tale of the good group gone bad, even if the group's workload was evenly split. "I've been in groups where everyone di­ vides the work," says John P Wolfe, a senior from Charleston, SC. "People say, 'you do this, you do that,' and so on, and then the group never meets again, ending up with something completely disorganized." Although this re­ sult isn't the aim of any group project, this type of situation sometimes is a necessary part of the learning experience. "Grin and bear it," says Wolfe, "In a group there is often no choice - you can't do it all yourself." But sometimes there is a choice: firing deadbeat group members. Some professors actually offer groups the option of downsizing for efficiency. This threat often perks up oth­ erwise slack group members who may not be Bands from foreign lands tend to retain some degree of separation from American music. This is not the case with Salt, a Swed­ ish band that rocks like they're from the noise rock scene in Chicago. This band sounds as American as apple pie on their latest release, Auscultate (Island Records). The album proves to be a slab of tortured vocals, scorching music and lyrics that doesn't come across as trite and incoherent. On Auscultate, Salt sounds like they were influenced heavily by the Pixies and Sebadoh. Vocalist/guitarist Nina Rambsy sounds like she blends Frank Black and Kim Deal to create her own voice. Rambsy gets a dirgey, but not crunchy guitar tone in the vein of Lou Barlow, who she also complements vocally with her nasal sound. The album starts off with a dissonant im­ provisation piece aptly tided "Impro." This song fades into the AC/DC styled guitar intro of "Honour Me," a song with obsessive but optimistic lyrics that eventually roll into a bouncy rhythm. Salt romps into other bouncy numbers on Auscultate, such as "Beauty,""Obsession" and "So I Ached," all of which power-house their way into the listener's skull. Aucultate stays with mid-tempo rockers that brood and crash with wonderful lyrics and poppy melody lines. "Bluster" is an infectious number that is worthy of some radio play. Salt's best work on Auscultate is when they slow the tempo down for a few songs. Rambsy sings over a repeating bass line in the tear-jerker, "Lids." "Lids" flows right into "So," an acoustic ditty that tugs on the heart. After letting the heavy rock run loose for a few songs, "Sense," one of the last cuts on the album, creates an eerie tension with a tension that is never re­ solved. Salt is definitely spicing things up on Auscultate. Their blend of tempos and moods create a thoroughly enjoyable album. And, with no duds to weigh it down, Auscultate should be one of the best albums you encoun­ ter this year. carrying their weight. This action is often a last resort, and can be avoided through open communication. "Sometimes students are hesitant to be hon­ est," says Professor Rosemary Horowitz, who works with student groups in such classes as business, technical and developmental writing. Horowitz prefers to have students keep indi­ vidual logs of exactly what work they are do­ ing on a group project. "This is the fairest way for students," she says. As a technical writer for several years prior coming to Appalachian, Horowitz knows first­ hand the value of group work as experience for the real world. "You learn how to negoti­ ate your way, how to divide tasks, and how to deal with people's styles." This learning comes mainly through practice, although there are classes in Appalachian's communication de­ partment focusing specifically on small group communication. Here students are versed in leadership, verbal and nonverbal communica­ tion and problem-solving strategies, along with detailed theories of group dynamics. If you don't want to take the class, or find yourself currently working with morons, there are some things you can do that will help your group. Structuring meeting times, working from an agenda, encouraging open communi­ cation, building cohesiveness, actively listen­ ing, and staying focused on a common, clearly defined goal are all things that will improve any group situation. It worked for the three musketeers; it can work for you, too. yclists prepare Women's issues take center stage lo hit the road J Leah Rubin Reporter small tastes of warm weather granted ^ over the winter have gotten everyone in ^founded ASU Cycling Club anxious riding weather.

P^way is one of the greatest places rdto ride," says Marquez. s Phtg finally decides to come to town and stay, the Cycling Club has a variety of things planned to promote riding. Among them is a plan to initiate cleaning of bike lanes in town, especially Rivers Street. Informal group rides will be organized and clinics on basic bike repairs and tune-ups will be held to educate members on simple main­ tenance of their bikes. Rides will be organized according to skill level and riders are encouraged to go at their own pace. Checkpoints are established so that everyone can meet up and no one gets left out. The main concern among club officers is to keep interest up. There are a wide range of benefits to being a club member, and a wide range of skill should give confidence to any­ one who wishes to get involved. "Learning where the good trails are and where the bad ones are is a definite advan­ tage," says Stevens. The ASU Cycling Club helps to build confidence skills, offer­ ing strategies for riding on the road and teach­ ing how to race wisely. Discounts from Boone Bike and Touring and Magic Cycles for club members should also pro­ vide incentive for those students who are prone to finding themselves on the pavement more than on their bike. The club meets every other Thursday in the Calloway Peak room in the student union at 8 p.m. The next meeting is March 28. "Anyone can get involved," says Marquez. So, if you are looking for fellow riders to join you on the trail or on the road, the Cy­ cling Club may offer you the companionship you have been looking for. Seven wild and crazy women will per­ form "Half Time at Halcyon Days" and"Well Done Pbets," a series of one-acts dealing with political correctness and feminism, Thursday, March 28. These one-acts focus on women's issues in today's world. Director Rendy J. Dinovo of Half Time at Halcyon Days" says, "Not only do the actors get a chance to learn from one another, but we focus on controversial and silly stuff." The audience gets an opportunity to feel the importance of women and their dilemas through comedy. Angie R. Light, a sophomore from Greensboro says, "I have had a lot of fun getting into character and inter­ acting with the other actors as well." Light plays Shatz, the motivating leader of four women who take a relaxing vacation at a health spa and begin to learn about one another. There is no male input in the play. 'The fact that it's a female cast is important," says Nicole E. Trish, a freshman from Walnut Cove. "All of the characters have strong female roles unlike most of the plays here, which only have strong male parts." "Well Done Poets" focuses on two women who feel rejected by a patriarchal society. While in a bar, the women discover that not all men are chauvanist pigs. Both plays have a feminist kick to them, but are not intended to shun men. The cast enjoys rehearsing. Kelly L. Miller, who plays Beth, in "Well Done Poets" says, "The play is really wild and crazy and with all of us together. It is really funny." Self-exploration is a constant theme in both plays. Director of "Well Done Poets," senior Amy M. Pearre from Winston-Salem says, "The play focuses on discrimination, and how two young women deal with their feel­ ings and their accomplishments." Pearre feels the play acknowledges two girls who are forced to challenge themselves and educate themselves.' They learn about women poets through their male waiter, who inspires them and sobers them up. (Left to right) Joseph P Lanni, Karen J.

COMING SOON �28 March 1996 Mike Daniels Assistant Sports Editor alachian State's intramural depart' ^ade news again, this time in the Atf ^ast Regional 1996 Schick Super Hoops 3 Basketball Tournament at East Caro- Sports Commentary University. The team Thug Life II represented Appan in the tournament on February 10. intramural officials also participated in Well in case you didn't know it, if you're one of the 10 people in this country who picked the entire final four correctly, you deserve a hand. In fact, to have picked this final four, you probably deserve more than that, they should give you a job at ESPN sitting between Digger Phelps and Dick Vitale. For the rest of you who had UConn, Kansas or Cincinatti to play in East Rutheford, don't worrry, you're not out of the pool just yet. Nobody would have picked Mississippi State and Syracuse to get there. Therefore, everybody has that side of the bracket crossed out. The pan that's really neat about this is that one of these teams is actually going to make it to the championship game - a fourth or fifth seed in the championship game. The last time a seed that low made it that far was 1985 when Villanova upset a powerhouse Geogretown team led by Patrick Ewing to win it ah. Two years before that amazing win, sixth seed NC State toppled the juggernaut Houston, which featured Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexlet .lournament. Thug Life II lost in the first game of the • robin play to UNC-Greensboro 39-36, "^covered to defeat Alamance Junior Col"58-28, and South Carolina State 41-26.

Marshall basketball coach Billy Donovan will be named the new head coach at the University of Florida, following the resignation of Lon Kruger. Donovan played and coached under Rick Pitino at Kentucky. East Tennessee State has named a replacement for Alan LeForce, who resigned after ETSLTs 7-20 season. Ed DeChellis, a Penn State assistant since 1986, will lead the Buccaneers, Appalachian is still hunting for a new head coach, but no names have been released and the athletic department says that they hope a replacement will be found soon. That might be a good idea since the Mountaineers have only signed one recruit for next season. He is Kent Phillips, a 6' 7" forward from North Surry High School in Mount Airy, N.C. While this year's squad performed below par, next year's squad obviously needs some added depth and new leadership, but how serious is Appalachian about finding quality leadership? It does not take a keen eye to look down the mountain at some of the young assistant coaches sitting on the sidelines of the ACC's nationally recognized programs. Look at coaches like Phil Ford, Tommy Amaker, Quinn Snyder, or a number of other young, quite talented, prospects. However, the Lady Apps, who are not hav­ ing trouble, have signed three recruits for next season. Tiffany Chappell, 5-10 from Bandys High School in Catawba, N.C., Noel Dolan 511 from Gull Lake High School in Augusta, Mich., and Deirdre Sallee, 6-0 from University School in Jackson, Tenn. The Lady Apps finished 24-6 this past season and should return to the same level of play next season. Sex offender with a jump shot Former New York prep star Richie Parker is again being recruited to play college basketball. The would-be freshman pleaded guilty to first degree sexual assault last year. Parker pleaded guilty to an incident in which he and a friend forced a 14-year-old girl to perform oral sex on them in the stairwell at school, Parker is currently attending Mesa Com­ munity College in Arizona and was uneligible to play basketball there. Oral Roberts, among a few other schools, is actively pursuing the prep star. Oral Roberts' head coach Bill Self said that he believes that everyone deserves a second chance, as long as Parker is willing to abide by the honor system. What is there to understand, but money is the bottom line, and winning is more important to some athletic programs than the integrity of the school and possible safety of its female students? Syracuse, the fourth seed in the west bracket, had to sweat out every game so far except for their first round trashing of Montana State. The team is led by senior foward John Wallace, a member of the All Big East first team. The funny thing about Syracuse is that they've been considered a second class team in a first class conference all season. The Big East, arguably the best conference in the country this season, was led by heavyweights UConn, Georgetown and Villanova. Those were the three teams expected by Big East fans to go to the final four. Teams like Syracuse and Boston Col­ lege were expected to show up and help give the conference extra representatives, but not really be a final four contender. The same thing goes for Mississippi State. All year people said that the SEC was Kentucky and a bunch of other teams. The play of the other teams in the tourna­ ment shot that theory completely. Mississippi State heads into their meeting with Syracuse having already toppled Big East giant UConn. The Bull­ dogs also took down Conference USA champion Cincinatti, and Ivy League champ Princeton. Plus, the dogs beat Ken­ tucky in the SEC final to win the confer­ ence tourney. They are a power team led by 6-11 center Erick Dampier, who is a punisher inside. The team's guards, Darryl Wilson and Marcus Bullard, average 17.8 and13.2 points per game respectively. Both of these teams have proved that they are fighters and will not accept sec­ ond class status in the two best conferences in the nation. Whoever wins this so-called "undercard" is going to be more than just a whipping boy to Kentucky or UMass. And if you don't agree, just pop in that tape of great moments in tourney history and watch those 'Nova and State wins again. let's get serious about a casual relationship every thursday &OO - 11:30pm blind Charlies w/ tony poole and zane main. $1 domestics $1.75 imports 20c wings eight flavors upstairs loft open for loungin' and darts **>0/421 Dragon's Den COMICS AND GAMES 681 West King Street Telephone (704) 265-4263 Compuserve E-Mail 100135, 42 �The Appalachian 28 March 1996 Page 8 March 28-30, 8:00 p.m. Department of Theatre and Dance An Evening of One Act Plays II Three modern one-act plays directed by students in the advanced directing class.

Conference aims to empower women Renee Cagle News Editor Seventeen cars in the Joe Williams parking lot located off Rivers Street, were broken into or vandalized Thursday between midnight and 3 a.m. According to Capt. Larry C. Foster, university police investigator, the suspect used a screw driver to pry open the locks or break the driver's side windows to obtain valuables inside the cars. Fourteen out of the 17 cars' driver's side windows were broken out. Items such as radar detectors, speakers, stereos, CD play­ ers and tools were taken from the vehicles. Foster estimates the amount of sto­ len property at $7,851 and damages at $3,755. Williams parking lot is rented from the county and does not have surveillance cameras. "If anyone was parking their car in Williams parking lot after midnight on Thurs­ day, and happened to see anything, please contact University Police," said Foster. Women and a few brave men at­ tended the Women's Leadership Conference Saturday to share and leam from each other how to "empower women and make them feel good about themselves," said Amy Badal, co­ ordinator for the center for student involve­ ment and leadership. The conference was divided into three sessions, which featured four different workshops in each session. Among the pro­ grams were: developing the creative spirit, benefits of being a woman leader, pressures to be perfect and female/male communication. The day began with opening remarks from Barbara Daye, associate vice chancellor for student development. Daye used one of her grandmother's quilts to show that what was once considered women's work was really her creative outlet. "I think of her as an artist," Daye said. Daye said she remembers quilt-mak­ ing being a neighborhood activity. She said the women pieced quilts and talked to each other. Daye compared the conference to quilt making. see | , ,, |u.,,|h tion to move the university up and out of the Southern Conference.

Beaman, who managed the pool in Broome-Kirk Gymnasium when it was in operation, said they hope to have the pool up and running again soon. She said the systems were turned on this weekend and the pool was filled with water to see if the leak was fixed. "We hope to have it back up before the end of the semester," said Beaman. The leaks in the pool were due to five large holes in pipes in the heating unit, said Clyde D. Robbins, physical plant administrator. He said when the heating unit is working properly, water comes to the unit from one pipe and is di­ rected through 15 pipes. Steam heats the water in the pipes. The water is then directed back to the pool. This process was disturbed when the holes developed in the pipes. Instead of water going back to the pool after being heated, it was mixed with the steam and returned to the steam plant in the form of condensation. Robbins said several major problems have occurred with the pool in the past few years. The heating unit has worn out and been replaced, as has the filtration system. Other problems have not been as serious, such as replacing pipes, drains and separated tiles. 1 1* According to Robbins, the problems occurring are typical of a 41-year-old pool. The chemicals which purify-the water are high in chlorine and acid content and are destructive to the pipes and other equipment. Robbins said the pool has far exceeded the time range that was originally expected of it. He said if the pool is rebuilt, it will be done in another location. The current pool will be filled-in and may be used as another gym for intramurals. "It's (building a new pool) in our long-range planning," said Robbins. "Our goal now is to hold it together." x Pam Griffin Reporter MCI representatives have been on campus since Wednesday pro­ moting Local Internet Access and The Appalachian Connection. The pack­ age, which includes software and email access, offers up to 60 hours a month of local access for $12 a month with a $10sign-up fee. Additional time is 95 cents an hour, and the program can be accessed for free from 1 a.m. through 6 a.m. According to Sherry Worthington, National Accounts Ex­ ecutive for campus MCI, MCI has had an overwhelming response. As of March 15, after one week of marketing, MCI had acquired 350 active users. "We are averaging about 100 sign-ups per week," said Worthington. "Our goal is to have as many users as possible in Boone up to date with our program, and by fall we will have enough equipment to supply an infi­ nite number of users." According to Worthington, so many people have signed up recently that MCI has had to order more equip­ ment. MCI has a contract with Appa lachian to provide a 95 percent access rate and has a 30-day window. With all the users they have acquired in such a short amount of time, MCI has fallen a little behind, but intends to be back on track by the second week in April.

After the sessions and lunch, the participants were entertained and informed about self-esteem, overeat­ ing and exercise by Rebekah Carpen­ ter. Carpenter calls herself a mo­ tivational entertainer and the next Bette Midler. She performed skits and kept the audience laughing. In the midst of all this she also talked about her own problems with overeating and low self-esteem. "I always worried about what people were saying about me or think­ ing when I walked away from a group," Carpenter said. She also said she is still work­ ing on herself. Carpenter asked the audience to do things for themselves every once in a while. She also urged the crowd to take care of their "little selves." "You have to take care of the personal and physical self but be will­ ing to take risks," Carpenter said. She said people need to move out of their comfort zone and make things happen.

Dr. Henry Schaefer 111 spoke to a full-capacity crowd Wednesday about being a scientist and a Christian. His lecture, sponsored by Campus Cru­ sade for Christ, was part of his series titled, "Stephen Hawking, The Big Bang and God." Schaefer began his lecture with an explanation of cosmology. "Cosmology is the study of the uni­ verse as a whole, it's structure, origin and development," he said. "Cos­ mology addresses questions that are profound, both scientifically and theo­ logically." C O R P S "The idea that the universe had a specific time of origin has been philosophically resisted by some dis­ tinguished scientists," said Schaefer. Using Albert Einstein as one example, Schaefer said that Einstein finally gave his reluctant acceptance to what he called the necessity of a beginning and eventually to "the presence of a supe­ rior reasoning power," but he never did accept the reality of a personal god. Schaefer cited the Big Bang theory as a major factor in the argu­ ments over the creation of the uni­ verse. The Big Bang theory states that the entire physical universe, all the matter in the four dimensions of time and space, burst forth from a state of infinite or near infinite density, tem­ perature and pressure. "Further observations in 1992 and more recently have moved the Big Bang Theory from a consen­ sus view to one that is nearly unani­ mous among cosmologists," said Schaefer. "There was an origin to the universe sometime between eightand 20 billion years ago." He also added that the idea of God creating the universe is a more respectable idea now than at any other time in history. Schaefer described Stephen Hawking as the most famous physicist in history who has not won a Nobel prize because "the Swedish Royal Academy demand that an award win­ ning discovery must be accompanied by verifiable experimental or observa­ tional evidence ... and his work re­ mains entirely unproved." Stephen Hawking is a "walk­ ing medical miracle; the fact that he is alive is astonishing," said Schaefer. "He can only move one finger, yet he leads a full life." When asked how he deals with his personal beliefs while being a prominent member of the sci­ entific community, Schaefer answered that there are a lot of Christians in the scientific community. "Some are hos­ tile, but the spread [of believers] is about the same as it is in the outside world," said Schaefer Schaefer believes that his study of cosmology has strengthened his faith as a Christian. "There's a lot of confusion out there about that. That it's possible to be a scientist and a Christian, that's number one."

Accuracy and Public Service since 1936 JL Our opinion... Lawsuit sends discriminatory message A lawsuit filed by eight college students is send­ ing the wrong message from the white community to minority students. As stated in the original press release, eight "white, heterosexual males" have filed suit against the University of North Carolina system in regard to minority scholarships. Two of the students are Michael D. Haggerty, Jr. and Robert T. Darnell, both students at Appalachian. Rethink your actions, men, as you are making a size­ able mistake. The suit is aimed at making the system revoke scholarships for minorities on the basis that the schol­ arships are discriminatory. If public funds were not available for white stu­ dents who constitute a minority at certain institu­ tions, people may be more apt to listen to this case without screaming "racism." However, this is simply not the case. For any Caucasian students interested in receiv­ ing minority scholarships, resources are available. For instance, A & T State University actively recruits white students on the basis that they are considered mi­ nority students in that school. Winston-Salem State University is another state-supported institution where state-funded scholarships are available to white students. Any group may be considered a minority in cer­ tain situations. One simply needs to expend his en­ ergy looking in the right places. One of the plaintiffs is described as a "devout Christian." We realize that in many churches, homo­ sexuality is considered a sin, but can an educational institution be expected to withhold public funds based on religious intolerance? Do the words "separation of church and state" ring any bells? There are, in fact, numerous scholarships given to women based solely on their gender. Does this lawsuit address that? Why not? Is that not consid­ ered "discrimination" when using the definition put forth by the plaintiffs? Perhaps as long as only"white, heterosexual, devout Christian" women apply for the scholarships, it is not discrimination. If the plaintiffs had taken the time to research places they could get scholarships, they would have found several given by different denominations and churches. There are scholarships given to Method­ ists, Baptists, Presbyterians and just about any other religious group one can fathom. The eight men who are expending all their time and energy are merely succeeding in making a name for themselves; albeit not a very good name. Our society has worked hard to put racial tensions be­ hind us. Of course, there are those who have worked equally hard at keeping those tensions alive. A lawsuit like this can only serve to harm any progress which has been made. There is no justifi­ able cause for discontinuing scholarships for minori­ ties of any type. The students who are working on having these funds revoked should spend more of their energy helping students find funds which are available to them, whatever their personal circumstances may be.

We have recently been judged as one of four state schools that are underfunded. These figures (from the 1993-1994 academic year) also tell us that Appalachian ranks last in funding per student overall, of all schools in the UNC sys­ tem. Recently I did my time in the Appalachian library in an attempt to do a research paper. Anyone who has used our library for the same reason will surely be able to relate to my account of sheer frustration with Belk Library. The first three hours of my search were completely futile. I spent that time attempting to utilize the tools and information that our library has to gather sources for my paper. I found that it was difficult to figure out how to use the computers in order to find sources. The only thing that I walked away with that day was a new topic to begin working on after I cooled down. It is obvious that our library seriously lacks funds. In fact, Bede Mitchell, Associate Librarian at Belk Library, told me that in order to reach the median level of funding for the library, we would need $600,000 more per year. On another day, I began with a new topic and a new attitude. I encountered four dysfunctional machines dur­ ing my search. What is even more frustrating is that the machines were not labeled as being out of order. As I continued my search for resources, I was com­ pletely frustrated in my attempt to find the articles listed for me on Info Trac. This "useful" computer program lists articles by topic. Unfortunately, I did not find out until Leave each other alone o Steven Mackay half-way through my search that only one half of the ar­ ticles listed are available at Appalachian (those marked with an asterisk.) After I fig­ ured out how to use the com­ puters, I had to leam the hard way that they are not all hooked up to printers. My search was to start over again on a different computer. After I derived a list of sources from the computer, I had an even harder time find­ ing the actual articles to copy. After finding a journal entry that had an asterisk next to it, a student staff member in­ formed me that Appalachian only carries the particular journal from 1990-1992 and current articles. I am not sure what the logic is behind that. Maybe we lacked even more funds from 1993-1995 than we do now since we were un­ able to purchase those issues. Bede Mitchell says that the biggest complaint the library receives from the students is that there are not enough books in certain subject areas. This is because there is not enough funding to purchase the books. The greatest portion of the money spent from library funds is for maintaining periodicals. Reordering periodicals is continuously cut as prices rise. If Belk li­ brary were just to keep up with the current articles it re­ ceives now, eventually that is all it would be able to pur­ chase because of low funds. For now, I have a few low cost suggestions for Belk Library. Fix the machines, train the student staff better, develop some instruction sheets for the equipment, makt "Out of Order" signs, make a quick list on how to use the materials we do have that work, put the copy machines oi the express accounts, and put out a drive-up drop box. Since our library does not receive adequate funds fa materials, our campus should consider alternate modes a fundraising. This could include selling sleigh rides on B.B Dougherty's sleigh or photos of students studying with thi giant stuffed bear that is downstairs. Certainly the pro ceeds from these fund-raisers would generate enough profi to fix one of the printers connected to Info Trac. Cheap is good * Buying American not always the answer John Nolte Columnist Columnist It happened again. Another fringe club on campus set up a political table in the Plemmons Student Union to try and get the test of the student body to quit doing something that may not be good for them. This time it was vegetarians with their heroic Na­ tional Meat Out Day campaign, which came after their even more popular Cut Out Dissection propaganda cam­ paign. Apparently, the point of the new display was to show the meat-eaters of society that if they can survive a day without munching on the late Bessy (a joke only upperclassmen will get), then by golly, they just might end up eschewing meat for the rest of their long, healthy lives. Besides, the show pointed out that meat is bad for you and eating meat promotes animal cruelty. Thanks a lot guys, but I'll continue committing sui­ cide and destroying the ever precious and fragile earth, with a happy tummy and a smile on my face. Put your pens down, this commentary is not going to be another attack on veggie-heads. Fve done it before and besides, it's just too darn easy. Instead, in this article, I'm going to produce my own "Out Day" idea. 1 call it "National Leave Me Alone Day." It is hopefully going to be a peaceful, wonderful, 24-hour period where no one can complain, yell, scream, protest, preach, lecture, proclaim, discipline, give advice, politi­ cize, and in general, tell people that they should change their beliefs, hobbies, tastes or lifestyle to suit the will of others. National Leave Me Alone Day could be the anti-the­ sis to all of those mis-guided, liberal "teach-society-a-lesson-days," which include National SmokeOut Day, World Without Art Day (a memorial day for AIDS victims), Bring Your Daughters to Work Day, and the cream of the craperr, crop, Earth Day. Hecik, even I'll shut-up on this day and not dispense any opinion of mine. I won't even review a movie. Sounds like a winner, huh? On this glorious day of freedom you could be your­ self, without any fear of intimidation from politically cor­ rect fringe groups. Imagine being able to go to a steak house restaurant with a cigarette hanging from your mouth, the fresh stench of alcohol on your breath, and a real fur coat on your back, and if you're really brave and it's after Labor Day, all white clothes on underneath. Thrilling isn't it? The theme of this holiday of freedom would be to show the do-gooders of society that just because they think of their cause as Utopian, doesn't mean everybody else sees it that way, or even wants to see it in the first place. Always a fair person, 1 am directing this holiday at both sides of the political fence, the fringe left and the fringe right. See, you soybean-worshipping cretins, I can be a nice guy when I want to. I realize Leave Me Alone Day will never actually hap­ pen. We will always have to put up with people who will be ready to "help" change our wrongful lifestyle, and won't take no for an answer. Those of us who cherish freedom and individual choice just need to hold tight and stay together. So, the next time you see a group of students in Plemmons try­ ing to get you to "out" a dearly held part of your lifestyle, throw them out of your path to personal freedom, which they are blatantly blocking. I will close with my own para­ phrasing of the famous Rodney King quote, "Can't we all just leave each other alone?" **il "Buy American" is one of the most self defeating and dishonest slogans since, "Read My Lips". With Buchanan's refusal to give up, the spectre of Perot looming in "96" and the Democrats' need of the union vote, this issue is going to be hotly debated again. If the Republicans cave to Buchanan's marxist tirades against free trade and big busi­ ness, the American people, especially the poor, are going to face many unnecessary hardships. The whipping boys in this debate are the Japanese who take the blame for our incompetent corporate man­ agers and selfish whiney unions who have negotiated by threat, among other things, health care coverage that in­ creases the price of a GM car more than any other part including the engine. Fair Trade is a nice word for tariffs which itself is a nice word for taxes and inflation. Any restriction or tariff on foreign goods may save a few select jobs, but will also increase the price on those goods which allows American competitors to do the same. This will devastate low income consumers. The Democrats, Buchanan, the United Auto Workers, and the big auto companies are notorious half-truth tellers in this debate. goods. The Auto industry and their groupies are calling fa the same trade restrictions that are enjoyed by Japanes companies, but are horrible for the average citizen of Ja pan. The Japanese have a standard of living that's 30 pa cent lower than ours because of an internal monopoly o: competition that, for example, forces the Japanese to pa 10 times what we do for rice alone! What these auto companies should be complaininj about is the advantage enjoyed by Japanese companie who don't have a capital gains tax eating away at thei bottom lines. But maybe they don't care because theyju pass it on to the rest of us disguised as increased prices stagnated wages, or lay offs.

Per capita, Japan buys more Ameri­ can goods than we buy of theirs, $395 worth compared to $358 worth. And Japan spends 1.7 percent of their GDP on our goods while we spend only 1.6 percent on theirs. They have more customers to ship to than we do, thus creating a deficit. They tell us that if Japan opened their markets the trade deficit would dissolve. Well, America is an open market and they still have trouble competing. If they can't sell enough American cars to Americans to ease the defi­ cit, what makes them think they could do it in Japan? Our trade surplus in Europe is due to tobacco, not autos. Other countries like Germany who face the same trade barriers in Japan outsell us there because they do a better job of offering the Japanese consumer what they're looking for, little things like reversing the steering wheel to accomodate Japan's left hand side driving. Would you buy a car with the steering wheel on the wrong side? Well, Lee lacocca is whining because the Japanese won't. Trade barriers don't really save jobs anyway. In 1984, to save industrial jobs, President Reagan restricted imported steel. This immediately saved 17,000 jobs, but the scarcity of steel inflated the price of steel produced goods which was passed on to the consumer who in return bought fewer of the goods.

The Women's Leadership Conference last Saturday was exactly both of those things. I'm what some people call, "low dairy." I'm not a frou­ frou fiend. I was afraid the conference would be very girly, with women hugging total strangers and sharing stories of overcoming gender bias over flavored coffee. I was pleas­ antly surprised. The sessions I attended provided me with new points of view. In "Good Stuff In, Garbage Out," Rebekah Car­ penter, a motivational speaker, shared some personal sto­ ries about struggling to achieve happiness with herself. The topic was scU-esteem and the session was pretty wild. She had us dancing around the room, meditating and sharing ideas as if we'd known each other for years. The second session I attended was called, "Being a DO YOU NEED A PLACE TO LIVE NEXT YEAR? 1 Better get an Early Start! mors* PSI |APPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY| We have 1, 2, 3, & 4 bedroom apartments, condos, houses, & duplexes available for the 1996-1997 academic year.

Each shared what they'd learned and experienced in their respective leader­ ship roles. It was especially helpful to meet some present and future woman leaders on campus who attended the session with me. The last session 1 attended was, "Male and Female Communication," led by Dr. Nina-Jo Moore of the Com­ munication Department. The information she shared taught us how to overcome the innately gender-specific habits we all have in order to communicate effectively with the opposite gender. Dt Moore shared some non-verbal tendencies of each gender and spoke about how these things affect communication. The conference was more than just educational. I felt very aware of the diverse strength that women have just by being in a room with the other conference participants. Since it was my first time at the conference, I didn't notice that this year's conference was more organized, focused and more resourceful than in years past, but some of the rep>eat attenders did. I was highly impressed with the va­ riety of sessions offered and the sincere efforts of the con­ ference committee. I encourage any student on this campus, male or fe­ male, to attend this conference next year.

Concerts Council �The Appalachian 26 March lev, I Page 6 FDR comes to Appalachian Steven Mackay Reporter Former President Franklin D. Roosevelt is coming to Appalachian for a one-night only history presentation. Well, OK. Not exactly. Roosevelt will be played by Edward H. Beardsley, a history professor/performer from the University of South Carolina. Beardsley will present his one man show, "Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal: An Experience in Historical Theater," April 1 at 7 p.m. in the Calloway/McRae room at Plemmons Student Union. The show will consist of a 45-minute monologue on the political and social climates of the 1930s from the famed president's view­ point, along with traditional period music and a slide show. Beardsley will end the program with a brief, ad-libbed "press conference." Here, au­ dience members could ask "Roosevelt" any question, from the difficulties of the1930s and '40s to how "he" would deal with the prob­ lems our leaders face today. Beardsley started performing "Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal" in 1982 to liven his history classes at the University of South Carolina. He finds it almost "maddening" that he has to go so far out of his way to spark the interest of students. But he is willing to take on the challenge. "History is a discipline that requires a little paying attention to," says Beardsley. "It's more of an interest when somebody gets to be a little older." Beardsley points out that the main road­ block in some students' interest is the glam­ our and sexiness of today's pop culture. "I have to compete with that." Over the years, Beardsley's presentation has become a major event on the USC cam­ pus. Some of his shows have attracted over 300 students. Beardsley has brought his show to other college campuses in numerous states, and has performed on television as well. He also has dramas based on Teddy Roosevelt and Ben­ jamin Franklin. Beardsley's strong admiration of Roosevelt's administration is the key to this particular show. "Roosevelt was an important figure in an important time," says Beardsley. A theme in his program is to highlight that importance, especially in today's political climate where many politicians, both Republi­ can and Democrat, agree that the federal gov­ ernment has grown too large and powerful. "I hope that students will be interested in ... (Roosevelt's) leadership (and) that era in which the federal government expanded enor­ mously and developed all sorts of programs," says Beardsley. "1 would hope that students see FDR page 7 Edward H. Beardsley plays FDR in "Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Deal." (Photo provided by ASU News Bureau) Appalachian students take a bite out of the Big Apple Heidi Dull Reporter Some Appalachian students recently took a bite out of the Big Apple when a film class from the English department took a field trip to New York. Professor Thomas McLaughlin took stu­ dents from his introduction to film class to New York to see films they would never see in Boone. "New York is a city where films are shown that are not shown anywhere else in the United States," says McLaughlin. "We would get up in the morning and look in the paper to see which films were playing and break up into groups," says McLaughlin. Some of the films they saw in New York include a Hong Kong film, "Chung King Express," "Taxi Driver," "Fargo,""Young Poisoners Handbook" and "City of Lost Chil­ dren." Cecilia J. Perkins, a senior communica­ tion major from Lincolnton, was one of the students who accompanied McLaughlin to New York. "1 went to New York because 1 tm mm mm mm had never been before," says Perkins. During the trip everyone broke up into small groups and toured the city. "We walked like crazy - one time we walked from 34th street to 57th street just to eat," says Perkins. "We never road in a taxi; I was scared of the way they drove." While in New York, Perkins and others visited the Empire State Building, Planet Hol­ lywood, The Official Ail-Star Cafe, Macy's, and Tiffany's. The Official All-Star Cafe was celebrat­ ing the 20th anniversary of "Rocky." There were quite a few celebrities at the celebration including Sugar Ray Leonard, Jim Belushi, Lauren Hutton and Sylvester Stallone Movie stars were not the only celebri ties Perkins met. Among the others were people from A Current Affair, Enter­ tainment Tonight, Inside Edition, MTV and a photographer from the New Yorker who was originally from An Appalachian film class recently went to New York to watch films and experience the city. (Photo provided by Cecilia J. Perkins) Hickory. While in New York, the group stayed at Appalachian's New York loft. Perkins says it was quite an expe­ rience. "1 was expect­ ing something a lot crummier than it was," says Perkins. "It reminds you of a big art studio divided up into rooms." Perkins liked the loft's neighborhood so much, she didn't mind the unexpected visitors (rats). "New York was a really great experience -1 would definitely go again," Says Ashley M. Brackett, a junior from "The experience of being there, of finding your way around the city gives students confidence." Appalachian professor, Thomas McLaughlin Lenior. "The loft is something that you have to experience. It was a lot of fun." Perkins describes New York as gray and noisy with taxi cabs, horns and squealing tires. "It was weird that when we got out of New York we could hear birds singing again," says Perkins. "In New York you couldn't hear any­ thing." The group also visited Chinatown and Soho. "There is no word 1 could use to de­ scribe Chinatown," says Perkins. "There is a fish market on every corner, and stores where you can buy three shirts for $10 or three hats for $10." The Big Apple is a multicultural city where new experiences and opportunities abound. "I would take another group of students to the loft," says McLaughlin. "The experience of be­ ing there, of finding your way around the city gives students confidence." Hope Jordan and Robin Roberts (above) were among the students who stayed at the loft while in New York. (Photo by Cecilia J. Perkins Comet 'once in a lifetime chance sun. dan. brightness and length.

The world of "alternative" rock has been invaded by such acts as Oasis and Blur with massive success in the past year. The bombings seem to never end. But while the most successful bands of the genre are coupling their Beatles-esque pop with glam, Pulp adds the psychedelic sounds of early Pink Floyd and a touch of disco to their pop equation on their latest al­ bum, Different Class. From the opening strains of "Mis-shapes," the Floyd factor be­ comes evident. This song about angst manages a few great one-liners: "We don't look the same as you, we don't Pulp is bloody good do the things you do, but we live round here, too." But listen closely to the backing music and the vocal melody and you may just hear Floyd's first single, "Arnold Layne." Pulp seems to have a thing for soaring organs and synth lines a la Pink Floyd. The aural feel of songs like "I Spy" and "Pencil Skirt," a clas­ sic little ditty about infidelity, owe their influence to albums like Piper at the Gates of Dawn. The band is not a rip-off by any means. They use all of their influences to create an interesting blend of styles. Pieces such as "Disco 2000" take the aural, pop and rock influences to an interesting level. This cut tells an al­ most depressing love story where the hero doesn't get the girl. Not pop material? Think again. The big number on the album is the current American and British num­ ber one single, "Common People." In the song, a male character chides a rich female for wanting to experience what normal folks go through. It's good to see some influences besides the Beatles on a British band. Pulp manages to cull inspiration from A the late-60s psychedelic-pop phenom­ enon epitomized by early Pink Floyd After listening to the latest release from this veteran of the British pop scene, Pulp has truly set itself in a Dif ferent Class. i * feo b .

Aided by the doubles play of all three seeds, Manuel Zapata and Pedro Lopes, Greg May and Frank Connor, and Zach Sharpe and Marcin Zabor, won both of their doubles matches to give ASU the early lead in both matches. May and Connor remained unde­ feated this year at the number two doubles spot, improving their record to 8-0. The other two doubles teams are also undefeated in their last three matches. On Saturday against Davidson, the Mountaineers led 1-0 after the doubles play and proceeded to take four of the six singles matches as well. First seed Lopes lost in two sets, 6-2, 6-3 to Jon Pastel and fourth seed Zabor fell to Eric Bourn 6-4, 6-3, end­ ing the Wildcat scoring. Second seed May defeated Judson Sutherland 6-3,6-2, third seed Zapata beat Ted Kaplan in three sets 4-6, 6-1, 6-4, fifth seed Sharpe de­ feated Paul Wulfsberg 6-3, 6-4, and sixth seed Connor won over Jeff Tonidandel 2-6, 6-3, 6-2. The Mountaineers remained un­ defeated in Southern Conference ac­ tion and moved on to face UNC-Charlotte on Sunday. The Mountaineers again domi­ nated this match, winning by a final score of 6-1, including a big upset by Lopes in three sets over regionally ranked Christian Limvart 6-7, 6-4, 62. "Pedro played his best tennis of the year and pulled a major upset," commented ASU Tennis Coach Mike Kernodle. May then defeated Khaled AlFoudari 6-4,6-1, Zabor won over Den­ nis Henderson 7-6, 6-2, Sharpe beat Nick Gaffos 6-0, 6-2, and Connor edged Cedric Watkins 6-3, 6-4. "I am vety pleased with the ef­ fort of all of the team members and look forward to the rest of the year, including some very tough conference •matches," added coach Kernodle. Appalachian improved its record to 9-5 on the season and this week will face Radford, Wednesday at 2:00 p.m., Charleston Southern on Friday at 2:00 p.m., and VMI, Saturday at10:00 a.m., all three contests will be in Boone. .

(File photo) Mountaineer baseball sweeps Thundering Herd Mike Daniels Assistant Sports Editor The Appalachian State men's baseball team had a pretty good weekend, despite the fact that the team had to travel to Gran­ ite Falls to play its home games, due to their snow-covered field here in Boone. The reason for the Mountaineers' happy bus trip back to ASU? A three game sweep of conference rival Marshall. Appalachian won both games of the double header on Saturday 7-4 and 4-0. The Apps finished up a fun weekend of im­ proving their conference record at the ex­ pense of the Thundering Herd with a 4-0 shutout of the Herd Sunday afternoon. Junior pitcher Stutzman improved his record to 2-0 with a three-hit shutout of the not so Thundering Herd. Stutzman struck out eight and only walked three batters. The win also lowered Stuzman's Southern Conference leading ERA to 1.11. At the plate the Mountaineers were led by senior Scott Musgrave who knocked in three of the team's four runs. Musgrave fin­ ished the game with four hits and a stolen base. Junior Pete Snitzer batted in the Apps other run with a sacrifice fly in the fourth in­ ning that allowed senior Shane Owenby to score. Other Mountaineers that crossed the plate were senior Tim Puscian and sophomore Brett Berrier. The wins put the team back to .500 in the Southern Conference at 7-7 and 11-9 over­ all. The Apps' next game will be Tuesday afternoon at Virginia Tech. ASU track begins outdoor season David Willis Sports Editor The outdoor track season is underway and Appalachian made the transition from indoor to outdoor quite easily this past week­ end at the Wake Forest Invitational, which in­ cluded 22 schools. The men's squad was led by Robert Johnson in the high jump with a height of 6' 9 3/4", which turned out to be the winning jump. Johnson also placed fifth in the 200 meter dash with a personal record of 22.05. Jason Gibson placed fourth in the 110 meter hurdles with a time of 14.60. Gibson was also a part of the 4x100 meter relay team that placed third with a time of 42.15. Other members include Mike Lapid, Raymond Brewer, and Johnson. Will Dickerson also set a personal best with a time of 8:51.62 in the 3,000 meter. "Considering the cold and windy condi­ tions, we were very pleased with our perfor­ mances," said ASU Track Coach John Weaver. "Appalachian was very visible among the top 10 performances." The women's squad performed even bet­ ter as Nikki Harris placed in all three of her events. Harris placed third in the triple jump with a distance of 37' 3", fourth in the 100 meter dash with a time of 12.68, and joined Michelle Simmons, Karen Houston, and Trice Roundtree to earn third place in the 4x100 meter relay. Houston also placed in her other three events as she earned fifth in the 100 meter dash and the 200 meter dash. Houston also placed seventh in the 4x400 meter relay with Juanita Welford, Lisa Roberts, and Trell Roundtree. Ayokka Green set a stadium record in the shot put and won the meet with a distance of 45' 71/4". Rachel Olander placed seventh in the jav­ elin throw with a distance of 122' 1". Other notable finishers for the Lady Apps were Roberts in the triple jump, finishing sixth, and Tabitha Proffit set a personal record by two feet in the shot put. "The weather held back the performances, but the competition was keen and Appalachian was in the middle of it all day," added coach Weaver. "We are very pleased." The two squads will next compete at the Raleigh Relays this coming weekend. Think about this. It's about 20 y J from now. You're sitting in front of .1 itting in front r,i television with children on New Year*' watching ASU play Nebraska in the Orange Bowl for the national championship q. maybe you were one of the lucky aWwho managed to get tickets and you're Sjt ting in the stands in Miami watching the game. Seem like a far fetched dream yaj Well it probably is, but still it could han. pen. Something has to happen first how", ever, the team has to move up to division 1-A. Right now there is a debate going oa as to whether or not the Appalachian football team should stay where it is at division 1-AA or move up to the I-A leveL Chancellor Borkowski met with a gt0U| of alumni called the Mountaineer Faithful over the weekend to discuss the issue. This group is in favor of the team moving up to the I-A level. However, the faculty senate recently voted down a resolution to increase spending on the athletic program and allow the football team to move up to I-A. There are two requirements that school needs to meet to become a 1-A pros gram. The stadium must seat at le 30,000 people and the team must have a average paid home attendance of $18,Of* for at least four years in a row. Right now ASU meets neither of thes requirements, although Kidd Brewer Sta­ dium could probably hold about 25,000 i you count the grass seating behind th< north end zone. The NCAA does not com grass seating because it is difficult to de termine how man could sit there a in bad weather it not alway useable. To make thi move up, school would hat to build perma nent seating that end zone ASU would the have to meet the second require ment of averagi $18,000 in paid tendance over Co years. So it see: unlikely that i team will reach A status while a You 're sitting in front of the television on New Year's Day watching ASU play Nebraska for the national championship. ^£"2 still be here, unit any of you freshmen out there are oh ning to stick around for the next deca to get your Ph.D. Still, that's no reason why AppJ chian students shouldn't support a mo up in the football world. Going to di sion I-A would have a lot of positive fects on the school and the community, one thing Appalachian could achieve t thing that eludes all non-ACC schools this area: recognition. Being I-A andfl ing other I-A schools besides Wake W would definitely give this school much needed national exposure. I know first-hand that this sent dosen't have any, because I live 580 fli away and hadn't heard of the place uj checked the ASU booth at the Philadel college fair. And I definitely didn tW anything about the school's footba « So those who say that having a top I-AA team brings in national exposur wron8- We are Through gained exposure: ttusj could prosper through increased More people would travel up to t t Country if somebody like Virginia North Carolina were coming to p».

At the SGA meeting, both candidates said they were confident and passionate about their goals for student government. Jason Yepko, running mate of ranford, said they plan to educate the stu­ dents about the issues, and one way is through their Operation Outreach program, which "carries out the goal of Appalachian," Yepko said. Litde said he and Nakia Hardy plan to have the administration report to SGA once a month and have surveys available to stu­ dents. The candidates were asked about reaching the students who live off-campus and how they plan to do that if they are elected. "It is important that students are not left out," said Hardy. She said they are com­ mitted to contacting students even if they have to go to the apartments. Yepko said in the past SGA has sent out postcards to off-campus students and they want senators to randomly call the off-cam­ pus students they represent.

Rowe said, "The two separate buildings have separate fire alarms and fire panels and at this time, no plans have been made to con­ nect the two fire systems." One reason the student union is con­ sidered two separate buildings is because the buildings are divided by a fire wall and fire resistant doors, which delay heat, smoke and fire from entering the other building. If a fire was to start in one of the buildings, the nearest fire strobe in the oppo­ site building would flash warning students to evacuate the building.

(Photo by Dana Gardner) Dinner raises money and awareness Brad Wilkinson Reporter The prevention of child abuse was the focus of an "All-You Can-Eat" pancake dinner sponsored by the Epsilon Epsilon chapter of Kappa Delta Sorority Ttiesday night. The event was held at McDonald's on Blowing Rock Road and was part of the 13th Annual Shamrock Project for the Prevention of Child Abuse. Kappa Delta chapters nationwide took part in the one-day fundraiser during the week of March 17. The project began in 1984 and is a non-profit movement in which the proceeds are donated to both local and na­ tional child abuse prevention organizations. McDonald's received 60 percent of the money made by ticket sales, while Kappa Delta kept the remaining 40 percent and the donations collected. Kappa Delta will donate 80 percent of the money they received to the Watauga Children's Council to be used for edu­ cation programs about child abuse. The re­ maining 20 percent will be sent to the National Committee to Prevent Child Abuse (NCPCA). Shamrock Project Chairman Deanna Y. Hall said in the four years the sorority has hosted the dinner, she believes this has been the most successful year yet. Hall said prior to the Tuesday night event, $1000 had been received and 500 tickets had been sold. Although the Appalachian chapter of the sorority has been involved in various other fundraising efforts during the course of the 13year project. Hall said the reason for choosing McDonald's again is because it has always been a success in past years. She said the conve­ nience of the location and the indoor setting is a factor in the decision as well. Each of the members of Kappa Delta were busy carrying pancakes, sausage and juice to supporters of the drive, who waited patiently and enjoyed the fellowship and conversation of others. However, the ladies of the sorority did not seem to mind the hard work and were pleased by the turnout. "It made me feel so glad to be a part of such a worthy cause," stated see Awareness page 3 for Student Involvement and Leadership.

Crime Log A student was written up on a weapons violation for having a b.b. gun. The female, a resident of Winkler Hall, was referred to student court when a residential assistant discov­ ered she had a b.b. gun on campus. The victim talked with university po­ lice about the situation and voluntar­ ily handed the weapon over to secu­ rity. On Friday, March 15, a student's car parked along Center Street and across from I.G. Greer, was damaged by Hickory Construction Co. The construction company was un­ loading pipe near the suspect's car when a pipe broke loose and hit the car. The car damage was extensive, and Hickory Construction Co. has agreed to finance any repairs. On Sunday, March 17, a stu­ dent vandalized a fire extinguisher and broke an alarm box in Justice resi­ dence hall. A suspect has been identi­ fied, was written a university citation, and referred to student court. Three suspects have been identified in the vandalism of the sani­ tary napkin machines on campus. Ac­ cording to university police, three young teenagers, ages 13-15, admit­ ted to breaking into the machines on campus to steal the money kept in­ side. University police said the case is still pending and more suspects are being investigated. Do you have a hot news tip?

Accuracy and Public Service since 1936 Our opini... Voting, not whining, the key John Lane Managing Editor "We've been working on this an awful long time," said Jason Yepko, and Fernando Little responded with, "We are passionate about our campaign." With these broad state­ ments, which allowed no insight into why either ticket should be elected over the other, the second SGA spon­ sored campaign event began. Event is the word I use because "debate" is something that was not present. Conversation is a better word than event. The two tickets built off each others ideas to come up with a wonderful collection of ideas for our campus, but once again, neither ticket distinguished themselves as superior. Neither even tried! The only semblance of true campaigning occurred late in the fourth round of the four round debate when an ob­ servant student (not the opposing ticket) attacked Yepko's dismissal from his post on the Academic Policy and Proce­ dures Committee of Student Senate for not fulfilling his duties. He apparently was not putting in enough time. "How can you handle the responsibilities of SGA VicePresident if you cannot find the time to fulfill a committee member's duties?" she asked. Now that is what campaigns are about. Due to the absence of more comments, attacks and debate such as this, I will do my best to fill in the gaps. Granted, readers of my columns will remember that I chas­ tised people for eating up mudslinging in politics last se­ mester (I said mudslinging is like car accidents. Everyone thinks it is horrible, but slows down to look). But now I feel it is my duty to provide everyone with the recom­ mended daily allowance of mud that has been missing from this campaign. Let's jump right in, and remember it's all in fun. The debate Monday night took place between the ambulance-chasing law firm of Cranford and Yepko and the comedy team of Laurel and Hardy. The first thing I noticed was that neither ticket cared for the audience mem­ bers. This was easily noticeable because obviously, none of the four involved went out to the gallery to sit in the posi­ tion of the audience to make sure it would be comfortable to them. As a result, there was not enough leg room and my feet fell asleep... which, still, is better than the debate which never woke up! The catch word of the conversation was various forms of the word "excite." Both tickets wanted "more excite­ ment among the senators" and Little and Hardy knew "our excitement is contagious" which was sure to take care of that concern. At the same time, Cranford and Yepko felt their big­ gest challenge if elected would be "to keep the senators excited... fired up." They did tread a little water, though, word no less than 30 times. That worked out to h* abnoj twice per question posed.

Doe? that me they have more to offer, or that Little and Hardy are mo efficient? The most important points we learned are thj Cranford and Yepko did not support students "with gloclq uzi's or attack dogs," which I think loses for them a grej deal of the voting population, and Little and Hardy wet the SGA "outsiders" which is a label I've heard somewhet before. It didn't work for Lamar or Forbes, Keyes or Taj lor, or Perot for that matter... is that really a band wagon jump onto? Overall, the supposed debate turned into a wonderfi conversation. With all the idea sharing and approval t one another's platforms, I think that whoever wins will d well, and the other two will be the chief advisors of the term. Today is the final day for students to vote in the Student Government Association presidential and vice presidential elections, and the staff of The Ap­ palachian would like to encourage all students to get out and cast their votes. All on-campus students will have the opportunity to vote in the lobby of their residence halls between 5 and 9 p.m. In reality, the debate was Every year when The Appalachian writes a staff editorial endorsing a ticket, we hear students com­ only made remotely exciting plaining that the student newspaper is supposed to be a "marketplace of ideas," and as such, should not by watching it upside down stand in favor of one ticket over another. While it is via the mirrors on the ceiling. true that we are a marketplace of ideas, the notion that we should be precluded from endorsing a ticket is patently absurd. From year to year, students claim that we sway by assuring the audience of at least 40 people (of 12,020 votes by endorsing a ticket. We firmly believe this students) that they would advertise for "creative, enthusi­ astic, and excited" cabinet members.

Using the death penalty shows that our justice system wants to end violent crime. There is no excuse for letting criminals slip through the cracks as the courts continue to clog up with backlogs of cases. Capital punishment is a bold method of putting our justice system's money where its mouth is. There are countries that still practice what was known as "Hammurabi's code" in Mesopotamia. Eye for an eye justice, although harsh, works. Under this legal system in Saudi Arabia, if you steal, you get your right hand severed. If you rape someone, you get castrated. Ac­ cording to Dr. David White, in these countries, criminals bring shame to themselves and their families. The way people view violence greatly affects their crime rates just much as severe punishments do. Needless to say, the murder rates in these places are almost minute. In the United States, some people think of criminals as people who deserve a second chance. Music videos glorify the lives of criminals who emerge from prison after beating murder raps only to have improved their tough image. I believe people who steal or break into homes can be rehabilitated. People who kill take lives into their own hands. Their punishment should be more severe. A few situations exist in which judging murderers can be complicated. There are people on death row for committing murder while defending themselves. If it came to a situation where I could either kill or be killed, I honestly don't know what I would do. Self defense could be an innate reaction in this type of situation. What about mentally ill inmates who face capital punishment for actions they made while mentally unstable? Murder cases should be handled on an individual basis. We could never have an automatic death sentence and still maintain a fair justice system. I advocate capital see Penalty page 5 Deterrence is another argument in favor of capital pun­ ishment.

Epsilon Tau Sigma received the award for Best New Organization at Appalachian for 1995 and continues to excel through helping the Boone community. There is a close relationship between the fraternity and VFW Post 7031 of Boone; along with a committed partnership of volun­ teering for various organizations including disabled veter­ ans' hospitals. Meetings are held twice a month on alternating days to make it convenient for everyone to attend. Member­ ship has increased from 15 members last year, to 40 this year. Remember that this is a special interest fraternity with no club council affiliation and all those interested are encouraged to come and participate. The next meeting will be March 26, at 7:30 p.m. in the Roan Mountain room. I was shocked to read a recent article in the Raleigh News and Observer reporting Appalachian's policy of searching student residence hall rooms for drugs and other paraphernalia. What ever happened to the Fourth Amend­ ment? A university of all places should be one that holds our rights, particularly those keeping us safe from intru­ sive government, most dear. The News & Observer article states that there is legal precedent for these sorts of searches and seizures. Never­ theless, these kinds of searches are wrong. They fly in the face of creating an open environment in which a learning and exploring community can develop. The only proper response to these violations of our basic rights is outrage. When 1 attended Appalachian, students were not afraid to stand up against injustice. The hard work (and pro­ tests) of Appalachian students prevented a sports arena being built in one of the last remaining natural areas in town. Dedicated students (along with other community members) are trying to prevent the defacement of Howard's Knob and the contamination of the whole community's water shed. As an Appalachian alum who cares deeply about this school and community, it is my sincere hope that students (and faculty and staff as well) will stand up against this new police state policy and work to overturn it. They will be continuing a fine tradition of student activism at Appa­ lachian as well as learning (and teaching the rest of us) about the vigilance needed to ensure the freedoms we sometimes take for granted. Joseph Rayle ASU Class of *94 Student concerns are real To the Editor: This letter is in response to the "Our opinion... and then there are real issues," article that was in the March14 Appalachian. We would like to offer "our" opinion on what we feel are the "real" issues pertaining to the 1996 SGA Elections. For approximately the last five months we have been studying many student concerns and campus issues. We feel that any student concern is a real issue. We are not limited to the ideas listed on our platform in our brochure. We are open-minded and willing to hear any suggestions that students may have. We want students to know that our job as SGA President and Vice President would be to listen and act on their concerns. The article last week questioned why neither ticket addressed the issue of parking decks. We know and have heard concerns about the parking deck. We have also ob­ tained a copy of the study done by Hayes, Seay, Mattem & Mattern from Vice Chancellor Helm about the parking decks. We have heard many comments from students that are "for" and "against" having parking decks at Appala­ chian. It would be unfair to the students of Appalachian for us to take a stand on such an important issue without knowing the student body's collective opinion. There was no way that we could get this opinion. That is why it was not included on our platform, not because we feel that this issue is unimportant. The bottom line is, yes we would be representing the students of Appalachian State University. That is why our platform is formed from students' diverse ideas and con­ cerns. Therefore, we feel that our issues are very real! Kaye Cranford Box 18538 Jason Yepko Box 08842 Legalized continued from page 5 life. In my opinion, both the state and the criminals are murderers. A question to consider is: Do two wrongs re­ ally make a right? Being against capital punishment does not necessar­ ily mean being soft on crime. Life imprisonment without parole is sufficient punishment for any criminal, and is just as effective as the death penalty. Capital punishment is just an excuse to avoid thinking of alternative and more effective ways of combating crime. Society as a whole should come up with better ways of fighting crime and not just rely on killing prisoners. Penalty continued from page 5 punishment in cases that involve repeat offenders (people who have committed several other crimes), murderers who were not mentally ill at the time of their crimes and serial killers. Murder is a horrible, tragic crime. The death penalty sends out a very strong message of zero tolerance. There is enough violence without taxpayers having to cater to murderers' needs for the rest of his or her life. I hope there comes a time when we never hear about a criminal being executed for murder. That will be the day we finally overcome the cycle of violence in this country that makes us all unsafe.

(Photo by Ryan Price) Ryan Price PriCG Reporter Ahhh, the Ides of March! Warm weather, blue skies, green trees. It's easy to tell when spring is upon us at Appalachian. The last foot of snow finally melts and every basketball fan at school is glued to their television. It is the rebirth of nature at its finest. Many students wait all season for the NCAA tournament to begin in the second week of March. Sixty-four games, 32 teams, big schools Versus little schools, David versus Goliath, all of this plays a part in the attrac­ tion of the tournament. There are teams that could probably be in the NBA (see UCLA) play- ing against teams trying their hardest to get their size 14s into that glass slipper (see Princeton). Students watch the games in various set­ tings. Some students watch the games in their apartment or dorm room, order a pizza, get some beer, and relax. "This past weekend I just sat around and watched the games with some friends and took my mind off of school," says junior R. Dale Ellis of Wilkesboro. "As soon as I come in from class, the TV comes on so I can check the scores." Ellis follows the tournament from begin­ ning to end, and woe the day when it ends. "It brings a tear to my eye," he says. Students do not let small obstacles such as a job or the lack of a television stand in their way of following the games. "I was at work and we have a television, but the cable went out," says sophomore Vaki Karampourniotis, "so I called my friends every five minutes to get the scores." Organizations such as fraternities usually get together to watch the tournament together. Pi Kappa Alpha president Rob W. Knowles from Greensboro says for the Final Four his brothers plan on getting together to watch the games on one of the three large TVs at their house. "During the tournament, if it's an ACC team, we all usually go to somebody's apart­ ment to watch," says Knowles. "But for the championship this year, we're going to have a cookout during the game." Even some of the faculty start to feel lightheaded and succumb to the "madness." Jean Dehart, a communications professor, lets her class watch part of the games to study com­ munication skills, such as non-verbal body lan­ guage by the coaches and effect displays. Karampourniotis says that he hasn't missed viewing many games because he's been fortunate to watch in class. How do students feel about having a game on in class when they could be getting lectured to? "It's mixed. Some people don't want to even hear about (basketball) and some want it on," says Dehart. With the Sweet 16 starting Monday, and the tournament lasting another week and a half, it is certain that a good number of TV's o n e a m p u sw i l l - b e t w r r e d y i curious about what all the fuss is about, watch a game or two with some friends who follow basketball. Who knows, you might even catch the fever yourself. Leases, landlords and the law vvfc should you really know before signi C lease? If you have rented an apartment 0 i you ever plan to rent an apartment, there- \ a few things that you need to learn ^t The North Carolina Bar Association d it lishes a pamphlet to help people understand what they are accountable for after S1 gning lease. The pamphlet describes in detail th rights and duties of both the tenant and th' P landlord. According to the pamphlet, land lords cannot discriminate against a tenant a perspective tenant on the basis of race col°' religion, sex, country of birth or handicap! Also, landlords cannot refuse to rent t0 people with children. Renters cannot be penalized for ordinary wear and tear on rental property. The definf tion of ordinary wear and tear is subjective fa Anthony di Santi, a lawyer with the tj ;i firm, Santi Watson law tirm, says you are onlv re' ' only sponsible for damage caused while you were ' renting the property. The landlord cannot even come into an apartment to inspect un­ less it is part of the rental agreement. It is important to know the contents ol the lease. Renters need to beware of the du­ ties they are bound to in the lease. How long is the lease? Does the landlord have the right to lease the property? What are the pay ments? Are pets allowed? Is subletting al­ lowed? Is snow removal and trash collection included in the lease? "You need to know what the terms of the lease are. Most students don't read their leases before they sign them," says di Santi. According to Paul Gates, a law and eth­ ics professor in the communication depart­ ment, it is important for students to realize that if their name is on the lease, and they decide to get a roommate and that roommate leaves, then they are responsible for the en­ tire rent. If, on the other hand both names are on the lease, then each student has some protection should one decide to leave. Another area renters should be aware of is subletting. Most apartment leases do not allow tenants to sublease their apartment ySiTafe'allowed to sublease, be carefulwtw rr> you sublease to.

Finding the appropriate thing to say can be­ come a dilemma when you first spot some­ one you are interested in. Fortunately, pick-up lines are a common bond between men and women. Some people understand them to be somewhat of a joke, but others take them seriously. Freshman Stephanie M. Godfrey from Statesville says, "Pick-up lines are reallyjust funny and interesting ways of getting the opposite sex to respond to you. If you're lucky he or she will laugh and take you up on the offer." What's lite worst that can happen? Kevin A. Freeman, a freshman from Hickory says, "an occasional smack in the face or a glass of water. Some girls reallyjust don't know how to take a compliment." Jose A. Hermida, a freshman from Ashville says, "I used to keep a little black book with the good pick-up lines in the front, and the others in the back." One par­ ticular pick-up line that has worked well for Hermida is "Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?" Hermida says, "for some reason whenever I have used that line, girls just smile, laugh, and usually go out with me." Unfortunately, the occasional pick-up line can be insulting. Beverly L. Mcbowen, a freshman from Hillsborough says, "Some guys are just total sleaze buckets. You would think they could come up with something bet­ ter than what's in their pants." Mcbowen likes for guys to be original. She feels the line, "What's your sign?" is just a little worn out. Some guys feel that pick-up lines are j just a way of letting girls know they are in­ terested in them. Freshman Michael S. Rankine from Ashville says, "The best way to ap­ proach a girl is to be sincere, it's what worked for me." When Rankine asked his girlfriend out he asked her, "What would you say if I asked you out?" Though bars seem to be the most appro­ priate places to experiment with pick-up lines, some students find the most unusual places to be worthwhile. Suzanne E. Mears, a freshman from Southern Pines says, "I really love pick-up lines. They can be really amusing some­ times." Mears says her favorite pick-up line was when she was standing in line for a movie. "This really cute guy tapped me on my shoulder and when I turned around he asked me for a quarter, because his mom told him to call her if he met the girl of his dreams." It isn't often that you find many girls us­ ing pick-up lines. Holly S. Liner, a freshman from Hillsborough says, "1 have never used a pick-up line before, but if I ever do, my fa­ vorite one is *You must have washed those pants in windex because I can see myself in them.'" Sometimes there are benfits from smok­ ing cigarettes. Godfrey and Mcbowen both agree that it's really easy to ask a guy for a lighter, and you never can tell what will hap­ pen after he gives it to you. Most guys don't purposely use offensive pick-up lines, but some guys can't help it. David Kaminsky, a freshman from Charlotte says, "Personally, my pick-up lines are either really cute or really insulting. The one girls seem to like the most is, '"Do you like the Power Rangers?' Although sometimes I can't resist asking Would you like to see something swell?'" John Starling Staff Writer It's always a plus when a movie is set in a town with a fertile music scene. Not only does it provide an interesting backdrop for the story, but an instant soundtrack. Many times this backfires and the movie is obscured by its supporting music. Remember Singles? One can only speculate if this will hap­ pen to the new independent film, Immortal, which plays at the Pub on March 28. The movie is the story of a (surprise!) vampire who happens to be a guitarist in the Chapel Hill music scene. A plethora of Chapel Hill's finest indie rockers have contributed to the soundtrack. The soundtrack starts off with a live track by Squirrel Nut Zippers, "Danny Diamond." The lounge-like feel of this tune fits well into the moody atmosphere of a vampire flick and is a standout on the album. Reverb-A-Ray has two cuts on the soundtrack in a distinct indie-pop vein. All vampire jokes aside, the first, "Don't Ask," is a bouncy, radio-friendly number that charms the listener instantly. The second, "Valentine," is a little more moody and soulful. The band's former leader, Jim Smith, will be performing following the presentation of the film at the Pub.

But ASU, which finished the season at 246 with a first round ousting at the hands of Alabama on Friday, has the tools to compete at such a high level again in 1996-'97. Shan­ non Spencer and Karolina Karlqvist will take their leadership with them this summer, along with solid contributions on the floor. Five rising seniors, Andreia Hinton, Merideth Thompson, Maaret Artosalo, Leigh Jones and Melissa Davis, will more than take up the slack. Hinton and Davis, large parts of the offense all year long, are already good enough to be early front-runners for next year"s SC first team. Jones, Thompson and Artosalo add experience to a team that may be better than this season's. Cara Sims will likely take over point guard duties, after a year of playing behind Spencer, the conference's premier floor leader. Sims joins fellow freshmen Shonta Rowe, Beth Schoolfield and Tamara Stewart next season. All four showed tremendous improvement at the college level as the year progressed. Freshman Erica Mathies's status was un­ known at press time. The quick guard, who was sidelined early in the season because of an ACL injury, may be rehabilitated in time for her to play when November rolls around. Center Tiana Tate was also injured at points of the 1995-"96 campaign, but her teamhigh 20 points against the lOth-ranked Crim­ son Tide showed her potential. An intimidat­ ing tandem of Tate and Hinton could give the opposition fits. With these pieces added to coach Linda Robinson and her assistants, next year's Lady Mountaineers could show the league a level of play that will inspire other Southern Con­ ference teams to higher standards; and that may give the NCAA tournament committee the incentive to invite more than just the league tourney champs to the Dance. ilissa Davis is just one of five seniors on next year's squad who will be looking to take the Lady Apps m further. Davis will be joining Maaret Artosalo, Andreia Hinton, Leigh Jones, and Merideth Thompson, itady Mountaineers will also have five sophomores to ensure their future. (File Photo) ivid Willis mrts Editor Karolina Karlqvist was just one of the two seniors on this year's squad. Karlqvist and Shannon Spencer will be sorely missed next year. (File photo) Mike Daniels Assistant Sports Editor Sports Commentary This year's edition of the Big Dance got under­ way last Thursday as you probably know by now, and it has definitely been a great one for college basketball fans. But then when can you remember a tourna­ ment that wasn't great in the first two rounds, or for that matter, any of the rounds. I can't. Everybody remembers last year's tournament when UCLA captured their first national champi­ onship since the days of John Wooden, and the Cinderella team of the hour was the Oklahoma State Cowboys led by Big Country Bryant Reeves. Now, try and recall last year's NBA Finals. 1 know its hard, but think, the Houston Rockets, the Orlando Magic -sweep- does any of this ring a bell? Well if it dosen't you're not alone. 1 had a hard time remembering myself. Don't even ask who played against the Rockets and Magic in the con­ ference finals. The tournament 1 remember clearly. Arkan­ sas took on North Carolina and UCLA battled OSU in the Final Four. What I'm getting at is that the NCAA tourna­ ment is far superior to the NBA playoffs. Not only �Page 10 The Appalachian 21 March The decline of the Atlantic Coast Conferenc Darryl Stevens Staff Writer Sports Commentary When Texas Tech shattered North Carolina like so much glass on Sun­ day in the East Region's second round, some semblance of reality began to set in for ACC fans. The Red Raiders had lost one game out of 30, yet were un­ derdogs to UNC. That gambling line itself should tell everyone something about the jug­ gernaut-sized lie which suggests the ACC is upholding its own standard. As this season began, it was obvi­ ous that the league wasn't ready to really step up and reclaim the unoffi­ cial "best conference in basketball" tide. Too many budding superstars had deserted camp: Rasheed Wallace, Jerry Stackhouse, Joe Smith. But the year rolled along, and no other league really took the mantle. Only the Southeastern Conference can strut as the round of 16 starts tonight, and except for Kentucky, the four un­ defeated SEC teams needed help to get that far. If the West had had a real number one seed instead of Purdue, Georgia would be at home. And Ar­ kansas is playing better than the 12seed which it is, because face it—the Razorbacks know how to win in March. ,UNC lost two close games to Villanova during the season. N. C, State played UMass tight early in the year. Wake Forest has hovered in and around the Top 10 since day one. Bobby Cremins' Georgia Tech squad took a page from Duke, inking in one of the country's toughest schedules. This hurt their record, but will land them further in the tourney than they would otherwise have gone. ACC fans saw all of this and more, figuring: Hey! We have teams that can hang with anybody. The conference didn't fall after all. Sorry. . . The league isn't terrible; true. The claim that the ACC officially bites might be a tad hasty. It's the same hur­ ried finger-pointing that rises up when Jordan has a few bad games in the same week, or the Cowboys drop a couple of contests: all of a sudden, the great ones need to just step aside for the new kids in town. But fans on Tobacco Road were still fooling themselves, just like a gam­ bler who loses a thousand dollars time after time will trick himself into be­ lieving that his luck's changed, on the day when he only loses a hundred. So the fact that linesmakers still ~Po believed that the Tarheels weren't just overachieving this year, and that Dean Smith's men were actually saving their best stuff for the final rounds like an oft-challenged heavyweight, proves they fell for the hype, too. ACC fans have had a certain selfrighteousness about them since the early '80s. They've been spoiled. They think that the league has to be good every year from top to bottom (which it has been). They think the ACC has to put at least one in the Final Four each season, and if it doesn't happen, something's wrong, terribly wrong. The planet's tilting off its axis; the stars are out of alignment. Jesus help us. It makes you wonder what Atlan­ tic Ten or Southwest or Patriot (hah) fans say each year. Can you name the last time a team from any of these con­ ferences won a title? You have 15 sec­ onds to answer ... Then there's the Big Ten, another "fallen conference." These guys should be trembling with frustration, watch­ ing the ACC dominate this decade so far. The Hoosiers' 1987 championship seems like an eon ago. Think about the Pac-10 fans of the late 1970s and early '80s. They were probably p.o.'ed for years, after UCLA quit ruling the college scene or not.

NCAA continued from page 9 they really mean as much as they do in the tourney? Did you find yourself pulling as hard for Green Bay when they beat San Francisco in the NFL playoffs as you did when you were routing for Western Carolina to beat Purdue - even though you had Purdue circled to win on your pool sheet and it might cost you money? And how about the championsh " game. UCLA's win over Arkansas last year was the first game in years to be decidied by a margin of greater than 10 points. On the other hand, this year's Super Bowl was the first in years that held viewer interest into the sec­ ond quarter. And the other three pro­ fessional sports have a seven game series to decide their winner; making it much harder for an underdog tc come away with a championship trophy. It almost seems that there's some­ thing magical about the NCAA tour­ nament. When you put together the upsets, the pressure of winnning to stay alive, the quantity of gtunes to take in, the exciting overtime thrillers, and all the other things that make this tournament so great, you realize that it is not just the end of the college bas­ ketball season, but the greatest sport­ ing event of the year.

One of the reasons outlined in the resolution is they believe Appalachian's ath­ letic program is already successful and in agreement with the goals and the mission of the university. The resolution also stated that stu­ dent fees and contributions from academic affairs make up roughly two-thirds of the ath­ letic budget, and these are significant bur­ dens on other areas of the university. The senate also felt increasing the competitive level of our athletic teams would require considerable increases in funding for athletics. Dr. Jimmy Smith, chair of math­ ematical sciences, presented the proposal to the faculty senate on March 11. The proposal will go to Provost Harvey Durham and then to Chancellor Frank T. Borkowski for ap­ proval. Smith said the resolution is telling the administration to stand firm on the cur­ rent standing of the athletic program and not to make any changes. According to Smith, the football team is 1-AA, but many alumni want to see the program grow to l-A Roachel J. I.aney, director of athlet­ ics, said all sports at Appalachian are divi- — Andrew C.

Ed Midgett, an associate professor in 'art department, took seven students and (faculty member with him to make repairs loft Feb. 20-24. "Nine people worked very hard 9 to far two days," said Midgett. "Another faculty member and myself a third day. Everything takes longer Sjgu think," said Midgett According to a report submitted by Midgett to the committee, which is looking at ways to keep the loft or to buy a space in New York to replace the loft, the group scraped and painted both bathrooms. They also laid down linoleum and fixed light fixtures. Carpet was also placed in the dining and living rooms. Although many needed repairs were made, much still needs to be done, according to Midgett. The loft needs two or more couches and assorted small tables. Midgett also said artwork can be donated from faculty, and the Theatre/Dance department has offered a washer or dryer, but the problem is getting these things to the loft. The New York Loft committee was set up by the university in order to study how it can remain open, keep it from losing revenue and to provide better service. Paul Burleson, a member of the com­ mittee and part of the Student Government cabinet, said the committee is focusing on the management of the loft. "We have been looking at the option of renting or leasing and developing a busi­ ness plan which would incorporate other uni­ versities," said Burleson. The committee has also developed a web page on the loft and the App House. Burleson said this is part of the committee's plan for more promotion to make students and faculty aware of the loft. "No one ever said we should not have the loft. People want to keep it," said Burleson. He is currently writing SGA legis­ lation concerning the loft. The committee for the loft will be giving their recommendations to Dr. Harvey Durham, provost of Appalachian past. Christy Lynn Reporter The Appalachian State University swimming pool, which is located in BroomeKirk Gymnasium, has been drained and closed for repairs since December. The closing of the pool has caused some problems for faculty and students who regularly use the pool for fun and exercise. Bud Gerber, professor of interdisciplinary studies, is a daiiy swimmer and said lap swimming is "addictive." "It is tiresome to always be on edge wondering if the pool will be functioning or not, " said Gerber. The pool was out of order for about two or three months last year. It has needed repairs recently because the pool was leaking three to five inches of water per day. Dr. Vaughn Christian, chairperson of Health, Leisure and Exercise Science, said the 41-year-old pool has needed repairs in the Christian said the old-fashioned tech­ nology used in designing the swimming pool, along with the old equipment operating the pool, makes the pool unable to withstand the demands of 18 hour days. According to Christian, as the popu­ lation of Appalachian grows, the use of the pool increases. "The pool is now burdened with a heavier demand than it was built to endure," said Vaughn. Cristian said swimming pool mainte­ nance has brought in engineers to update the pool. He also said there has been some dis­ cussion throughout the years of replacing the pool. The problem with replacing the pool according to Christian is the cost. He said it would cost approximately $4 million for the installation of a new pool at Appalachian. The pool is scheduled to reopen this Thursday. see Pool page 2 Corrections In the March 14 issue of The Appalachian a guest editorialist's name was misspelled.

The grant came from an instru­ ment and Laboratory Improvement Program and will be used to help fi­ nance a broad band Fourier Trans­ form-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer (FT-NMR) that allows students to identify chemical com­ pounds and to follow their reactions. The instrument should be ready for use this fall. Special to The Appalachian Friends and family are im­ portant factors in identifying and treat­ ing eating disorders, according to Kit Olson, program coordinator for Appalachian's Wellness and Stress Management Center. "Most people with eating dis­ orders tend to want to hide it and keep it secret because they are embar­ rassed," Olson said. "They won't seek help on their own, and it's important for friends, family or boyfriends and girlfriends to know how to identify an eating disorder so they can encourage the person to seek help." Eating disorders, which kill an estimated 1,000 women a year, are generally defined as illnesses associ­ ated with severe body image distor­ tion and an obsession with weight. People who contend with this condi­ tion are terrified of gaining weight and continue to diet or binge and purge as their mental and physical health de­ cline. A recent study by the "Ameri­ can Journal of Psychiatry" found that one in ten college women has an eat­ ing disorder. Eating disorders gener­ ally begin in adolescence and can greatly affect college age women whose bodies are still growing. They feel like they should be able to keep the body they had when they were in high school, according to Olson. "It's a fight against nature because women develop an extra layer of fat for child bearing, and bones be­ come more dense as you grow older. That's good because you want dense bones to fight osteoarthritis," Olson said. "Unfortunately, women with eat­ ing disorders aren't focusing on this. Their thought processes are very irra­ tional." One of the most important things family members can do to help women avoid eating disorders is place value on their accomplishments and abilities when they were growing up, she said. "So much of the praise that girls receive is based on their looks, as opposed to boys and their capabilities. As girls grow up if they get nothing but praise for their appearance, they will feel all their worth rests in their looks," Olson said. Eating disorders fall into three categories: anorexia nervosa, where sufferers literally starve them­ selves by restricting their caloric in­ take; bulimia nervosa, characterized by binge periods when the sufferer eats large amounts of food and then purges by vomiting, taking laxatives or exercising for hours; and binge eat­ ing disorder, which is similar to bulimia but without the purging. Friends and family who sus­ pect someone has an eating disorder can look for warning signs for these conditions, which include significant weight loss, compulsive exercising, a preoccupation with body weight, de­ pression, a preoccupation with food and calories, and attributing weight gain or loss to social and professional successes and failures, among others. Olson said it is ^ tant to remember that men c from eating disorders, althnnV' are generally not represented^ m mg disorder statistics. "It's so vital to ed friends and family members W people with eating disorders feC and it's a difficult condition , with," she said. "You have t very hard to help the person extremely sympathetic. Ifs Ve lar to our to our mental emotW cause eating disorders can com if you don't learn to deal with I Dr. Don Sanz, directr Appalachian's Counseling and logical Center, said the center* with a significant number of stu who struggle with eating disoC "We also get a lot of from friends, boyfriends and friends who need some kind of sultation on how to help pe0pie this problem,"he said. "It can bet on them, but we encourage the make contact with us. We're h help." J Pool continued from pagB The swimming pool, which is located in Broome-Kirk Gymnasium, is slated to be reopened this Thursday. The pool wa built 41 years and was leaking 3 to 5 inches a day. It was closed in December '95. The maintenance crew isi the process of fixing the leak. It would cost the university about $4 million to build a new one. Until the universit decides otherwise the Broome-Kirk pool will still operate at Appalachian. (Photo b\ Dana Gardner) Cut Fat Not Calories A 10-week weight loss study conducted in January at Appalachian State University shows that people lose more weight eating a low fat diet than by reducing only their caloric intake. Appalachian researcher Dr. Denise Martz and her colleagues ran­ domly divided 75 university faculty and staff concerned with holiday weight gain into low fat and low calo­ rie groups. Each week participants weighed in and kept a one-day food log. By the end of 10 weeks, low fat dieters had lost an average two more pounds than the low calorie dieters. The research team com­ prised Martz, assistant professor of psychology; Susan Perry, MSN, health promotion coordinator; and students Allyson Andrews, Pamela Yarrington, Jennifer Ackerman, and Patricia Croom.

The football program, how­ ever, is the only sport with sub-divi­ sions, so it would still have room to expand Laney also said the primary base for athletic funding is from stu­ dent fees, but if the program ever goes I-A, the money would not be solely from students. He said it would be from a mesh of funding like game rev­ enues and other fund raising. "At a certain time, it's some thing to look toward," said Laney. "You have to look at what direction it (I-A) would take us." Two of the requirements to be I-A are for the stadium to seat 30,000 people and to have an aver­ age paid home attendance of 518,000 a year for four consecutive years. Laney said the team does not meet either criteria at the present time. "It's our ultimate goal," said Laney, "but it has to be done at the right time." Laney said one of the advan­ tages of the expansion would be the exposure given to Appalachian from the media. He also said they would have to find a school of like size and fitting and decide where they fit in the division. Appalachian's geographical location could present a problem with that issue, though. Smith said the football pro­ gram is the most expensive athletic program at any university since it is dealt with differendy. "I really don't see any advan­ tages," said Smith. "It (expanding to I-A) seems absurd. I feel we are at the right competitive level now." He said Appalachian already plays for nationals and gets recogni­ tion. He said the faculty does not see this as something Appalachian needs to do. An open meeting is set for March 23 at the Trillium North room at Broyhill Inn with Borkowski, The Mountaineer Faithful, an Appalachian alumni group, and for All those con­ cerned with the future of Appalachian athletics.

Accuracy and Public Service since 1936 Hazing practices a r e s h a m e f u Our opinion... Cranford and Yepko, the only way to go The Student Government Presidential and Vice Presidential campaigns are well under way, and the elections are just around the corner. On campus stu­ dents will be voting Wednesday and Thursday in the lobbies of their residence halls from 5-9 p.m., while off campus students will have the opportunity to vote from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. in the Student Union. Once again, the editorial board of The Appala­ chian is endorsing a ticket in this election. After hav­ ing participated in the debates sponsored by SGA last night, we are proud to endorse the ticket of Kaye Cranford and Jason Yepko. While we thought both tickets did an admirable job at presenting their platform goals in the debates, we feel that Cranford and Yepko will focus on put­ ting through legislation which will benefit the stu­ dent body of Appalachian State University. Their commitment to serve the students of this campus and their experience with Student Government Associa­ tion will enable them to accomplish their platform goals in their year in office. While the ticket of Fernando Little and Nakia Hardy lists broad areas to support, the Cranford/ Yepko ticket gives specific goals they wish to accom­ plish. These goals are, for the most part, new ideas, rather than preexisting programs to support. When asked how they would ensure the accomplishment of their goals, Cranford and Yepko replied that they would implement a program they call Operation Outreach. This program is designed to be proactive, allowing for student input. The strongest point of their campaign was their pledge to make SGA senators accountable to their constituents. Cranford and Yepko promised to stay in contact with organizations such as Resident Stu­ dent Association to ensure the senators were attend­ ing meetings which directly affect their ability to rep­ resent the student voice. Cranford and Yepko also listed platform goals which can be accomplished in their year in office. Their platform is specific enough not to be spread too thin. Little and Hardy's campaign, however, at­ tempts to cover more ground than is possible in their tenure in office. But perhaps most importantly, we endorse Kaye Cranford and Jason Yepko because they have more experience in SGA. Cranford was a member of last year's cabinet, while Yepko is a senator this year. They are familiar with the workings of student government, and above all, seem to realize that SGA is a recom­ mending body. Cranford and Yepko will be more legislation-cen­ tered than community program-centered. We be­ lieve this to be important. While Litde and Hardy want to implement programs which may benefit Ap­ palachian and the community, these programs are best left to other organizations whose focus is on community service. When SGA is seen as a recom­ mending body which is active in passing legislation rather than doing community projects, issues like the passing of the search and seizure policy would be more likely to be brought before Senate. While both tickets have the leadership experi­ ence necessary to do adequate jobs in the positions of student body president and vice president, Kaye Cranford and Jason Yepko have the experience work­ ing with SGA which we feel will make the difference.

Angela Brady Editor-in-Chief John lane Managing Editor Deanna Hall Business Manager Renee Cagle News Editor Vanessa Urruela Editorials Editor Renee Cagle News Editor When most people hear the word hazing they will most likely only think of social fraternities and sororities. But this is not always the case, especially on the campus of Appalachian. What hazing boils down to is the humiliation of a po­ tential member of a club or organization. So, it is not about social organizations anymore. For example, Appalachian's very own marching band violates the university's policy every fall semester. When the school year begins and the band prepares for the new season, the old members require new members, usually freshmen, to wear duck bills and quack like ducks while marching in a straight line on their way to practice. This practice is directly addressed in a memo from Dino DiBernardi, director of the Center of Student Involve­ ment and Leadership. DiBernardi writes, "Activities such as, but not limited to, walking in line, quacking like ducks, wearing conspicuous apparel, etc. is in violation of the hazing policy and is not permitted." When one witnesses the "quack like a duck and you too can be in the band" fiasco, a person cannot help but feel that the members who delight in embarrassing new band members should be the ones ashamed. The new band members should refuse to obey this stupid and ridiculous practice. A school's band, especially at college, should be a little more mature.

John Nolte 'AOIac pO\rvF 7 Columnist One of my classes had a very good discussion about this generation's fear of not being as prosperous as their parents. This helped me understand the myth young people have about inheriting a burdensome "mess" made by past generations. Not only is this unfair to our parents, but it's creating a lot of unnecessary anxiety about the future and wasted activism. All this candleburning for justice, marching against the ever abstract "hate" and throwing of slumber parties in the safety of Sanford Mall with catered bagels and hot chocolate to feel the pain of the homeless is really the productive equivalent of pagan sacrifices exposing a generation in search of a cause. A search that necessitates making things sound worse than they really are, thus fueling a pessimism that just isn't war­ ranted. Today we live in a world that is more peaceful, prosperous, cleaner and safer than ever before. It is the sacrifices of our parents and past generations that made this pos­ sible and they deserve our gratitude, not sullen contempt. What a gift a victorious Cold War has given us and our future children. No longer perched on the edge of nuclear holocaust, we are the last generation to suffer the night­ mares brought on by elementary school air raid drills. This is priceless and yet so unap­ preciated. We have access to the best medical care ever and will enjoy longer and healthier lives with less infant mortality. Just remember the so-called health care crisis revolves around insurance, not access, and environmental fear mongering contradicts our steadily increasing life expectancy. Economically things have improved dramatically. According to Robert Samuelson's book The Good Life and Its Discontents, when you compare pay, benefits, and adjust for inflation, wages have increased 15 percent since 1975 and per capita income has risen 49 percent since 1970. If not for the Carter recession these numbers would be even more impressive. Contrary to the handwringers, our job security is improving. The National Bureau of Economic Research has concluded that you had a better chance of losing your job in 1970 than you do today. Karl Zinsmeister reveals in American Enter­ prise that in reaction to our governments increasingly immoral tax burden, since the 1970's, corporations have doubled nontaxable benefits like day care, IRA's, health and life insurance. Worried about buying a home? In a recent issue of Business Magazine economist W. Michael Cox reports that the number of current homeowners under the age of 35 has risen a full third in the last 20 years and the average house today is one third larger than in 1970 and much more likely to contain a dishwasher, color television, and air condi­ tioning. In her column, Mona Charen reports on consumption studies that reveal our dis­ posable income has risen a staggering 45 percent in 25 years and though we're not saving at the rate our parents did we are using that money to improve our standard of living giving us more cars than licensed drivers, VCR's in 85 percent of homes and a color television in every home. The poor are better off than they've ever been.

The reason for restating the university's hazing policy is due in part to clubs and organizations which are not social fraternities and organizations who participate in haz­ ing. These clubs say it is not hazing simply because they are not in the Greek system. Being Greek has nothing to do with it. This is just a way they can get around the hazing policy. Hopefully, this will all change now that this memo has been distributed to all student organizations. I say hopefully because some organizations refuse to give up on what they believe is tradition. In this time of political cor­ rectness, tradition is dead because most of it violates a person's self-worth. Tradition must change as the times change. Student organizations must move out of the dark ages and live in the '90s. The time for paddle carrying and recitations of organization history has longed passed. Organizations like Alpha Kappa Psi, a professional business fraternity, and Kappa Kappa Psi, a music frater­ nity, have pledge periods where the pledges must com­ plete certain activities in order to join the organization. In Alpha Kappa Psi, pledges must always carry around a busi­ ness type object, like a business card or daily planner just in case a member asks to see it. In Kappa Kappa Psi, pledges must carry around paddles, which are decorated like dif­ ferent animals. Pledges of these organizations must also wear name badges every day for a certain time period. Neither of these organizations are supposedly social fraternities, but they act like it. They believe since neither are in the InterFraternity Council or in Panhellenic they can get away with humiliating people. They do not feel they are subject to the same policies which govern social organizations. Many members of such organizations say these types of activities make a pledge appreciate being a member more than someone who can just join a club, like the finance club or the paddlers club. I have to admit I too have been a pledge and have participated in badge wearing and car­ Christy Lynn Columnist I have been a student here for three years, during which time I suspect that I have not spent a single day on campus when I was not witness to some form of construc­ tion in progress. More often than not the work seems to occur wherever I happen to be, such as outside my dorm room window while I am attempting to sleep or study. The university appears to have a fascination with walls and sidewalks. I watched a stone wall outside of Rankin Science Hall be dismantled and put together again. I have seen walls built that did not appear to surround or sepa­ » rate anything. I have walked around sidewalks that were ripp>ed up only to implant a brick pathway. I suppose this was done to enhance the appearance of the otherwise com­ mon cement sidewalk. Currently, there is construction underway between the Smith-Wright building (where I have psychology class), and the D.D. Dougherty building. A wooden rail fence has been removed and in its place a cement wall has been raised. I wonder if eventually the wall will be torn apart and a brick middle added to improve its visual quality. In addition to the construction of the wall the side­ walk is being uprooted, presumably to allow the addition of the popular brick pathway. Invariably as I sit in my psychology class the construction work begins promptly at 10 a.m. It is loud and annoying. It is also unceasing. While this is going on, my professor remains at the front of the classroom, continuing with his planned les­ son. I can read the words he writes on the chalkboard; presumably these are notes from the lesson. I am really ,rtf not sure. I see his mouth moving and his gesturing' ^ am uncertain as to whether he is talking about1 e ^ , ciples of learning in psychology or if he is singing^ ^ performance to entertain us.

Most would rather sing two lines repetitively and inces­ santly noodle on their instrument for 20 minutes at a time. This is not the case with the jammy, D.C.-based band, Everything. This six-man combo blends their jam sounds with jazz, rock and classical influences to create an original mesh that lead singer/guitarist Craig Honeycutt describes as "ecclectic with a groove under it." Like most bands of their genre, Everything has built their reputation on impressive live shows. Their in­ fectious sound has drawn a large fol­ lowing and given the band one of the top 50 grossing tours of late 1995. Honeycutt takes the recognition with a grain of salt. "We're not re­ ally making a ton of money," he says. "That's just industry stuff." Among the many interesting events that Everything has experi­ enced in their three years of touring is a free concert in Washington D.C. that drew an audience of 10,000. "If it's 10,000 people, it's great," says Honeycutt of such events. "It's just really cool when people come out to the shows." The band also participates in a growing phenomenon: playing shows on the Internet. They sold out a cyber-cafe in London during one such show. The "globe-spanning Internet concert tour" drew a total of 4000 fans and computer junkies. Everything has two albums out, the latest of which is Labrador, a de­ ceptively mellow and intelligent re­ lease. The entrancing sound of the band's tight interplay and the superb wording of the lyrics will draw the lis­ tener into their delicately constructed wall of sound. Cuts like "Smile" and "Chocolate and Vanilla Pudding" show the funky and jazzy m le -.i tliv band. Th< lirst teams a thick jazz romp with timid funk guitars, while the latter sets in with a Hendrix-styled funk groove Reporter only to cool out during the verses. Some songs, like "Rantings of a Lunatic," display the rock roots in this usually jammy band. Unlike most of the other songs on Labra­ dor, "Rantings" sticks with one steady groove and works with it. It's not as jangly as the rest of the al­ bum, but remains solid, even through its trance-inducing mid-sec­ tion. The two top tracks on the al­ bum are the jazzed up soul of "Spent" and the therapeutic "Time Will Heal Me." "Spent" has power­ fully weaved instrumentation that includes heavy rock parts, gospelesque vocals and complimentary homs in the mix. "Time Will Heal Me" has optimistic lyrics that would lift even the lowest spirits and mel­ low backing music. Everything lives up to its name, and goes a little bit further. With a hard-touring reputation and quality albums to back up the shows, they're poised to impress. Judge for your­ self at Legends on Wednesday March 20. Honeycutt says, "Come on over. It'll be fun." "Executive Decision" may be an­ other corny rip off of "Die Hard," but a critic can't help but cheer when Steven Seagal is sucked out of an air­ plane at 2,000 feet in the first halfhour. What's this? An action movie having the audacity to kill off Mr. Seagal, the master of snapping bad guys in half, before the real thrills even begin? Yep. Talk about gutsy. The star of "Decision" is one of Hollywood's most under-appreciated actors working today, Kurt Russell, no stranger to the action genre (he starred in 1991's red hot "Backdraft"). Russell stars as David Grant, an intelligence analyst for the U.S. gov­ ernment. He must unwillingly lead the late Seagal's team of American commandos against a group of Is­ lamic terrorists who have hijacked an 400 passengers. airplane with 400 nasseneers. Is it any surprise that Grant doesn't know the difference between an AK-47 and a can of WD-40? The real threat is a bomb on board the plane. It has enough nerve gas in it to wipe out the entire popu­ lation of 40 million on the eastern seaboard. The bomb's wacked-outon-Allah owner and madman (David Sachet) has his sights set on Wash­ ington, D.C. The title refers to the president's dilemma of choice. Does he destroy the bomb over the ocean by ordering the airliner shot down, thus snuffing out all on board, but saving the people on the east coast? Or does he hope that Grant and his team defuse the bomb safely and kill the terror­ ists, thus saving everybody? "Executive Decision" requires the viewer to fly at a low thought alti­ tude. Especially, when Maria Maples Trump (!) appears as a flight atten­ dant. I wonder if hubby helped out on the film's budget?

Shalonda Enis and Dominique Canty combined for 63 points to lead the Crimson Tide to a 95-66 win in the first round of the Women's NCAA Basketball Tournament. Senior Karolina Karlqvist had 18 for the Mountaineers, who finished what was one of the best seasons in Appalachian State history. Karlqvist hit three straight treys at one point during a brief ASU run in the second half, but Alabama (24-7) already had the game in hand. "It was a great team playing as well as they* ve played all year," said App coach Linda Robinson, noting that even Alabama's coach was surprised by his team's fire. "It's tourna­ ment time, and (Alabama's) kids played up to their capabilities. They were incredible (on that particular night)." Appalachian State stayed close for the opening 10 minutes of the game. During that span, junior Andreia Hinton scored eight of her 10 first-half points, as the Mountaineers trailed Alabama 21-17. But Hinton also had picked up her sec­ ond foul by the 15:00 mark, and finished the game by disqualifying late in the second half after only 20 minutes on the floor. Secondyear center Tiana Tate came off the bench to lead ASU offensively, scoring 20 on 7-of-12 shooting with an effort that came too late. Appalachian's third NCAA appearance in seven seasons was spoiled early, as Enis and Canty outscored the Mountaineers by 10 in the opening half, helping 'Bama to a 55-33 edge at intermission. Canty had 17 of her 31 points during a four-minute, 21-2 run before the half. The Lady Apps' three-point shooting, which usually hovers around 35 percent, didn't pan out on Friday night — as a team ASU missed 17 of 24 treys. Karlqvist's 5-for-9 per­ formance from behind the arc was the lone bright spot. Melissa Davis, third in the nation in three-point percentage, took just two treys and was unable to convert against 'Bama's defense. In handing the Apps some of their own medicine — ASU beat their opponents by a double-digit average all season long — Ala­ bama led by as many as 39 in the second half. Appalachian State climbed to within 26 in the final minutes behind Artosalo's seven secondhalf points as the Tide coasted into the second round. Shannon Spencer, the Southern Conference's steals leader, didn't collect a pick for only the third game of 1995-96. ASU man­ aged just one steal against Alabama. Alabama advanced to the round of 16 Sunday, besting N. C. State 88-66. Reporter The Appalachian State Mountaineer base­ ball team continued to falter this past week, dropping three of their four games. Two of the contests were conference games against Georgia Southern, in which they proceeded to go down twice in as many chances. The Mountaineers, trying to rebound from a 2-5 week last week, took on the UNCAsheville Bulldogs in a double header on March 13. In the opener, things looked all too famil­ iar to the ASU squad as they were pummeled 10-4 in a seven inning contest. As has been the case for many games past, Appalachian had the hits, but not the runs. ASU pounded out 10 hits, with Tommy Skul going 3 for 4 and Kenny Osborne going 2 for 3. But the Moun­ taineers could not hit with runners in scoring position, and it cost them dearly as they were outscored by six runs. The losing pitcher was Garth Armstrong, who went 2.2 innings, giving up four hits, four earned runs, and only striking out two. His relief Phil Falco didn't do any better, giving up Staff Writer Sports Commentary Sports Editor Sports Commentary For you basketball-aholics out there, I am sure you are already aware of Western Carolina's near history making upset of No. 1 seed Purdue and, I am sure, sometime during that game, every one of you wished that it were Appalachian playing instead. The real ques­ tion is, why was it not Appalachian? The Southern Conference has sent at least one representative to the NCAA Tournament every year since 1950. Only one time during Without a doubt, it was the most en­ tertaining fight of Saturday night's pay-per: view slugfest — like a bar brawl scripted by Charles Bukowski himself, in the sec­ ond bout on the Tyson-Bruno undercard ' women boxers Christy Martin and Deirdre Gogarty took turns battering one another1 for six two-minute rounds in Las Vegas. ' But Martin turned it out for the win, finishing the fight with a bib of Gogartyi' blood splattered on the front of her tank ' top. A good thing, too. Stepping between the ropes decked out in so much pink that she might have been naked, Martin better have been able to show skills. ; , Besides the Frank Bruno-Mike Tyson mismatch, the Martin-Gogarty fight was the battle nobody wanted to miss once they' knew of it. The other two pre-main event bouts which sandwiched the women, fea­ turing four homogeneous fighters who might have been pillow-fighting for all the' excitement they roused in viewers, were easy to ignore. Only the dedicated boxing fans watching (all eight of you) could identify any of them, other than junior flyweight'' Michael Carbajal. But is this what it will take to make women's sports popular? Most people won't even watch women's basketball, a variation of what is probably America's most popular sport today. Increased expo­ sure or not, many fans just prefer to pass on UConn versus Stanford, or Tennessee) and Louisiana Tech. Or 1996 NCAA tour­ ney participant Appalachian State. Appalachian's Lady Mountaineers have averaged better than 20 wins over the last three seasons. Despite falling to SEC power Alabama in Tuscaloosa on Friday, coach Linda Robinson's team is probably one of the most successful college programs you never heard of — and most of the High • Country hasn't heard, if the Mountaineers' consistent 400-plus home game attendance is any indication. It's strange that a team which has ven­ tured into the NCAAs three times in this decade, and to the NIT in 1987, does not attract more of a following from its class­ mates and community. The ASU men's edi­ tion regularly draw an amount of fans who were, if not packed to the rafters of Varsity Gym, at least numerous enough to really make their presence felt and heard. Former coach Tom Apke's men may not have ful­ filled expectations in recent seasons, but records aside, the spectators sure kept coming. j Can you imagine Duke's Cameron Crazies — under fire as the regular season ended for supporting their team a little TOO enthusiastically—deserting their Blue Dev­ ils? It hasn't happened lately, even as the Dookies have come off their early-199 high of Final Four after Final Four. Ho#, about a half-filled Smith Center?

In the nightcap, the Mountaineers turned around their misfortune and came out with a tight 5-3 win. Brent Payton paced the team, going 3 for 3, with an RBI. This time ASU got the hits when they counted and scored five runs on just five hits, outscoring the Bulldogs by two. The winning pitcher was Jason Crews, who did a decent job, going four innings, giv­ ing up 3 runs on 3 hits, and striking out four. ASU would go into the next series with Geor­ gia Southern with confidence, coming off of a scarce win. In the next series, a Conference 2 - game Garrett visit with Georgia Southern, confidence would not be enough as the Mountaineers dropped both games to the Eagles. On March 16, game one of the series would prove to be a well contested game, with the Ga. Southern Eagles winning 8 to 7. Appala­ chian outhit the Eagles 13-8, but Georgia South­ ern got the hits when it counted, coming back from a 5-0 third inning deficit to score eight runs. The Mountaineer hitting attack was paced by Kenny Osborne, who went 3 for 3, and Brent Payton, Shane Owenby, Chris Rodriguez, and Tim Puscian helped the cause with 2 hits each. Phil Falco was the losing pithcer, and it was his Osborne poor performance that hurt the Mountaineers. Falco came in during the sixth inning, where he failed to record an out while giving up 4 runs on 2 hits and 3 walks. The second game of the series with Geor­ gia Southern looked like the first, with the main point being a loss for ASU. The App offense was rather stagnant, recording just five hits to their usual double digit accumulation, and only 3 runs. The five hits were spread out through the team's lineup, and Chris Rodriguez probably helped the most with 2 RBI. The Eagles, on the other hand, pounded out 10 hits on two Mountaineer pitchers and chalked up six runs, scoring three in the fourth inning. The loser was standout Scott Musgrave, who pitched only 3.2 innings, giving up six hits, five runs, and only striking out two. At the end of this horrendous week, the ASU baseball team's record had dropped to 89 overall, and a dismal 4-7 in the Southern Conference. The Mountaineers hope to try and win some games in the upcoming week when they face Radford on March 21 and engage in a 2 game Southern Conference series with Marshall on March 23-24. ASU will definitely be looking for some big games to try and get themselves back on track. Why not the ASU Mountaineers? David Willis Women athletics deserve recognition Darryi Stevens Mountaineer Baseball struggling Jason Somerville The Appalachian 19 that period has Appalachian been that repre­ sentative. In 1979, Bobby Cremins led the Mountaineers to its only appearance, and even though we lost to LSU 71-57, it was an incred­ ible experience for the team and the univer­ sity. In a state where three of the last five na­ tional championships reside, why can Appa­ lachian not put together a program that can compete near that level? You might say that ASU doesn't have the facilities to attract bet­ ter athletes, Boone is too small-town for the spotlight seeking athletes of today, or that it does not have a winning tradition. Well, ex­ cept for the latter, ASU has everything it needs. Look at Western Carolina in Cullowhee for goodness sakes. What in the heck is in Cullowhee? Appalachian does not have the best facili­ ties, but except for the Lady Apps, they have not proven that they deserve it. The players have talent, but none are of Ail-American sta­ tus. Coach Apke has done a lot for the univer­ sity, but has not produced anything on the court. Maybe it's not the team's fault, maybe it's the athletic department. Maybe the team needs more money. Maybe it needs a new gym. The one thing however you cannot argue is that it needs something. At the beginning of the next basketball season, the freshman class would have been one year old the last time the Mountaineers won a conference title. Think about that. It has been 17 years since ASU won a conference title in basketball. App's women's team fin­ ished 17-0 in the conference, the men's team won just three conference games and one tour­ nament game. East Tennessee State went on a tear from 1989 to 1992, going to the Big Dance four con­ secutive years and proving to be a viable op­ ponent. In '89, the Bucs lost to Oklahoma 7271, in '90 they lost to Georgia Tech 99-83, in '91 they fell to Iowa 76-73, and in '92 they defeated Arizona 87-80, before losing a tough match to Michigan 102-90.

In those wins, they defeated Ten­ nessee, DePaul, and Duquesne. None of the other schools in the Southern Conference offer anything that ASU does not nor cannot offer as well. In the search for a new coach, hopefully the program can get back on track and get to national prominence in the not so distant fu­ ture. In regards to the coaching po­ sition, Athletic Director Roachel Laney said that a selection commit­ tee has been formed and they are currently looking at a list of about 10 candidates. The committee hopes to begin interviewing in about a week and would like to have the position filled by the first week in April, but due to the NCAA Tour­ nament, delays may incur. continued from page 8 Mike Daniels continued from page 8 Oh, women don't slam in games. So? The absence of dunks can t really be the reason that women s basketball is seen as infe­ rior. Most of the country's top tal­ ents could find a spot on men's teams. Ladies like South Carolina guard Shannon Johnson, who scored better than 20 points in a game 34 times before her senior sea­ son even began, and did it compet'n8 against the best players in the nation, is more than quick enough to embarrass doubters just like you weekend warriors at the Quinn. Women's basketball is not nec­ essarily, as one USA Today reader wrote last year, "just less exciting than men's." If you believe this, maybe you should rethink your defi­ nition of "exciting" — and consider the word "variety." Now, THAT'S exciting.

Assistant Sports Editor Sports Commentary It is said by a lot of people that athletes today only care about one thing: money. Last week, Denver Nug­ gets star Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf proved this assumption to be correct. After missing three games at the cost of $32,000 apeice, the flag-protesting Nuggets star suddenly changed his views and caved in to the league. Rauf, a Muslim, refused to stand during the national anthem at a game last week and was subsequently sus­ pended without pay by the NBA until he would comply with league rules and do so. He claimed that he wanted to be committed to his god and not nationalities, and that the American flag stood for oppression, ignorance, and other things that make rightwingers cringe to hear.

Now Accepting Applications at The Appalachian for the following positions: Well, Rauf s committment to his convictions lasted a whopping three games before his committment to his wallet got the better of him. Now, I'm not here to take sides on whether or not Rauf s views were correct. Personally, 1 beleive it is everybody's own right to choose whether or not to stand for the na­ tional anthem or not. The last time I checked, the Constitution still gauranteed people the freedom to make their own descisions on things like this. Lef s face it, there are more than enough problems in this country to give a person reason to be angry. Ev­ eryday thousands of injustices occur in this nation. Of course, that's an entirely different story which has very little to do with sports. What I'm concerned with is the example set by Rauf s return from ex­ communication. One day he was un­ happy with the government, the league, oppression and whatever else, FREE T-SHIRT + $1000 Credit Card fundraisers for fraternities, sororities, and groups.

Unless 1 missed some earth-shat­ tering event that changed the world and brought about globed peace while 1 was watching college basketball, the things that Rauf was protesting are still there. This country's political, social and economic structure are the same as they 4ere a week ago. Sq why the the sudden change of heart by Rauf? HI tell you: money. Cold hard cash. All of you out there who think Rauf came back because his team needed him are dead wrong. Haven't you heard? Teammates don't mean anything anymore. In today's world of sports, its all about the indi­ vidual and how they can acquire ad­ vertising deals and multi-year con­ tracts. They care about their team about as much as the owners care for the cities their franchises are located. While I may not have agreed with all of Rauf s views for choosing not to salute our flag, I respected him for hav• ing the courage to stand up for his beleifs, despite being persecuted for it. Now Rauf has shown me that he too is interested in the only thing any­ body in sports seems to care about anymore, money. NEED CASH?

Q. and A. with Rosellen Brown Appalachian State University, Boone, North Carolina, 28608 Volume 70, Number 36 Candidates face off in first debate ,()raiiford/Yepko and Little/Hardy state their goals for SGA Jay Konstantaras Reporter Student involvement in the Student Government Association and diver­ sity were the focal points of the first of two debates held in Hawksbill Pub Tues­ day evening between SGA Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates Kaye Cranford/Jason Yepko and Fernando Little/Nakia Hardy. Highly emphasized by both tickets was the desire to make Appalachian students more actively involved in affairs affecting the student body. Little and Hardy promoted their ideas of involving student input, which include: • Inviting students to serve on university planning committees. • Giving students greater say in the allocation of student fees. • Requesting an annual report by the administration to SGA regaining various campus issues. • Utilizing student input from teacher evaluations to determine which professors are most etfective. "We want to make sure the students are empowered through < >ur ticket, in naving an effective voice in the future of Appalachian State University," said Hardy. Cranford and Yepko also stated their desire to let student input play a large role in their administration if elected. "We have derived our platform ideas from talking to students and listen­ ing to student concerns," said Cranford. Among the ideas that shape the Cranford/Yepko ticket are: • "Operation Outreach," a program geared toward soliciting student in­ put through campus clubs and organizations. • A general grievance policy toward the book rental system, including a possible voucher system for upperclassmen. • Additional nighttime security provided by student patrols. • The possible addition of a market on the east side of campus, plus the addition of fast food vendors. Another hot topic at Hiesday's debate was diversity. Both tickets dis­ cussed their plans to foster diversity on campus. Little and Hardy reinforced the diversity portion of their platform, which consists of: The creation of a diversity task force overseen by the Office of Student Affairs. Diversity training for faculty and staff. The active recruitment of diverse students and faculty. see and Yepko. (Photo by Renee Cagle} Debate page 3 Candidates Little (right) and Hardy.

ACT is an organization that has "T worked with training individuals to 'With people such as the elderly and those AIDS. Into the Streets represents a change in direction for ACT because they now want to target groups to help out with these people in need. Setzer said it is easier for students to get involved if they can participate with their friends instead of on an individual basis. Right now ACT is in the process of recruiting clubs and other organizations to adopt about 40 group service projects. These projects include Habitat for Humanity, OASIS, Boone Town Cleanup, and Amnesty In­ ternational. Setzer has been involved in search­ ing the community for places that have a need, while Appalachian students E. Brian Johnson and Amy E. Cook are trying to recruit clubs and organizations for the program. "There has been a lot of talk about diversity on campus lately," said Cook. "There is a common ground I think we need to find, and volunteerism is a good way to find it." Setzer said during Hunger and Homelessness Awareness week we see a strong network of clubs and organizations coming together to seek the needs of the community. "We are hoping for a core group of people to maintain momentum with our Into the Streets program as well," said Setzer. "It's a great source for clubs and organizations." She also said organizations such as the Hunger Coalition need more volunteers and involvement. According to Setzer, 400 plus people in Boone needed food in January. Last spring was the most recent canned food drive the Coalition has had. They have been buy­ ing food since then because they have not re­ ceived any donations. As well as being a great help to the the community, ACT also hopes Into the Streets will bring the university and its students closer to the community. "Into the Streets will have a huge campus-wide effect that win be a good way to mend the rift between the comunity and the university," said Cook. Fire victim identified Angela Brady Editor-in-Chief Forensic pathologist Dr. Gregory J. Davis of Bowman Gray Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem, confirmed Monday afternoon that the body found in Saturday's Summit Woods apartment fire belonged to Jeremy Dale Fisher, Jr., a graduate of Appalachian State University. Fisher, 22, who graduated in Decem­ ber, died of a combination of smoke and soot inhalation. "The carbon monoxide level in his blood was so high as a result of the smoke and soot inhalation, that Jeremy would have been unconscious long before the heat and flames got to him," said Davis. "I can tell you in good faith, it's my scientific opinion that he did not suffer." Fisher was the son of M. L. "Bud" Fisher, minister of the Baptist Student Union on campus. Visitation for family and friends was held Monday night from 7 until 8 at the Aus­ tin Barns Funeral Home, and a memorial ser­ vice was conducted Tliesday at 11 a.m. at First Baptist Church in Boone. According to Boone Fire Chief Reginald Hassler, no determination has been made on the cause of the fire. "Arson and acts of nature have been ruled out," said Hassler. Hassler did say, however, that the fire began in apartment A-3. Fisher lived in apartment A-6. The Boone Fire Department, County Fire Marshall and State Bureau of Investiga­ tion are still investigating, and hope to be able to release more information soon. rganizations get a reminder on hazing ing conspicuous clothing or having them re­ cite history and address members in a certain way is considered in violation of the hazing policy.

Accuracy and Public Service since 1936 Our opinion... And then there are the real issues. Once again, campaign season is upon us. No, we are not talking about the Republican primaries. We are talking, instead, about Appalachian's own Stu­ dent Government Association campaigns for presi­ dent and vice president. Most students have probably seen the banners around campus. Huge sheets flapping in the breeze as you walk up the sidewalk to the post office or make your way to the cafeteria, however, would be the only way anyone would know there is a campaign going on. Last year, pretty much anyone who stepped on campus knew there was an election going on. Many students were talking about why they thought this ticket was best for the job; or more likely, why that ticket would be bad for the job. A lot of people are remarking that they do not want to see the kind of mud-slinging in this year's campaign that was preva­ lent in last year's. We agree. But we do not want to see a campaign period which lacks life; which is ex­ actly what we seem to have on our hands at the moment. Why is this year's campaign lacking the spirit which was present last year? Simple. Neither ticket is addressing the hard-hitting issues which are most important to this campus. Both tickets do present issues which make sense. For instance, Cranford and Yepko want to increase foot patrols for safety. They also want to install au­ dible alarms on the blue light emergency phones. These are both unarguably good ideas. Who can be against anything which will make this campus safer for its students, faculty and staff? Little and Hardy, meanwhile, want to give stu­ dents a more powerful voice on issues such as the tenure policy and the allotment of funds for the li­ brary, as well as supporting diversity. These are also good ideas. However, with the proposal of a parking deck being constructed somewhere on our campus, it seems one of the tickets could have addressed this problem. Many students have expressed their con­ cerns about such a structure being built. Are those students not who these people are going to be repreCertainly students would not argue about hav­ ing call waiting in their residence halls or cry about faculty adhering to the dead week policy, but that is the whole point.These are issues which the candi­ dates can say they support and mean it, and the stu­ dents will think the candidates have a good platform. Yet, by picking these issues to take a stand on, nei­ ther is distinguishing themselves as a ticket which can make a serious change for our campus. Take heart, though, voters. The elections are not until next week, so there is still time for you to make your voice heard. There will be another debate Mon­ day, March 18 at 7:30 in the Pub. This will be a prime opportunity for students to ask the candidates about issues which really matter to you; to hold up signs touting the issues which really matter, or even to show disapproval for the platforms these candidates have. And there is always the last ditch try of actually voting. In the great tradition of voter and voting drives sponsored by our "twentysomething" genera­ tion such ass "Motor Voter," "Rock the Vote" and "Chose or Lose," we proudly offer "It's No Hassle, So Just Do It." All full time students can vote where you eat or in the lobby of your dorm.

Student complaints unfounde A ftaft Erica Everett Columnist There are two phrases that 1 hear almost every day. They are, "I am so busy" and, "I don't have any money." These phrases are cries for attention that do not really mean what they seem to. I hate it when I hear someone complain about being busy. It seems so stupid to me because the person that com­ plains about being too busy is also the person that got them­ selves into everything that they are involved in. Everyday I hear a loud sigh followed by, "Oh, I have so much to do." Are these people looking for sympathy? Should I feel sorry for someone who has made a voluntary decision to join six campus activities, hold down a part-time job and maintain 17 hours of school on the side? It seems that if doing so much were such a tremendous burden, one would drop some activities. Dropping activities is not what this person wants. Nor does this busybody want sympathy. He wants attention. When a person complains about being too busy the mes­ sage that is really being sent is, "Oh, I have so many things that demand my time. I am indispensible." Indispensible? Give me a break! There is no one in the world that is indispensible. Everyone wants to feel needed. Somehow being in­ volved in a plethora of activities comes close to filling that basic need. Some people also have a need to tell others how much in demand they seem to be. It goes beyond need and moves to feeling important. If everyone knows that the busybody hardly has time to return his calls, they must just assume that the busy­ body has so many friends and important life events that he can hardly keep up with them. Complaining about the lack of time there is to com­ plete the things that go on in life is like an accepted form of bragging to me. It is not acceptable to say, "I am so rich I just cannot find enough places to spend my money." Which leads me to another point. People also like to complain that they do not have any Dr. Thomas Stranger Guest Columnist I attended the hypnosis show a couple of weeks ago on campus. It was entertaining for many to be sure (and 1 must confess 1 enjoyed myself). My comments are intended to clarify some of the misconceptions about hypnosis that result from these types of shows. I am a psychologist trained in the therapeutic use of hypnosis, the goal being enhancement and improvement of the individual. Hypnosis used in this way is quite dis­ tinct from stage hypnosis, which is intended to be enter­ taining and catchy. At the outset, the entertainer hypnotist clearly ex­ plained that hypnosis was not something that is done iq somebody, rather it facilitates the natural human capacity to access enhanced abilities through the power of concen­ tration. This idea of enhanced performance is something that all have witnessed. An example is watching athletes access their best performances through focused concen­ tration. The purpose of hypnosis is to maximize such in­ nate abilities. This is consistent with current scientific and clinical understanding of hypnosis. However, the disparate goals of hypnosis used for the purpose of entertainment creates confusion about the na­ ture of hypnosis. Stage hypnosis is meant to fascinate the audience, much in the way that a magician uses percep­ tual tricks to captivate onlookers. To this end, people are asked to do things that are out of the ordinary, which usu­ ally implies the humorous idea that they are being duped or are acting compulsively beyond their control. In this show volunteers did strange acts such as performing ex­ Assistant Editorials Editor Vanessa Urruela Editorials Editor ) Renee Cagle News Editor : > Allison Pennell Asst News Editor • • Clay Barbour Features Editor David Willis Sports Editor Richard Smith Mike Daniels : • Jason Wilkinson Asst Editorials Editor Asst Features Editor Asst Sports Editor David Wainer Chief Copy Editor Editorial Department 262-6233 or 262-3104 Advertising Department 262-2157 Production Department 262-6256 Edi am iishi •2 jjtf Slid. lei ian tldir iev •coi It Ed mire (ten adl lach teds fty otic dances and experiencing themselves in bizarre circum­ stances like finding themselves naked, in the freezing cold and winning a fortune in the lottery. The point is that it is the desire of people to be enter­ tained that motivates compliance with these perceptual distortions; they are not the result of a mystical power in­ herent in the hypnotic state. The implicit perception of a naive volunteer being under the control of the hypnotist, though humorous and entertaining, perpetuates common counter-therapeutic myths. Hypnosis can indeed be a powerful means to achieve desired goals; it does not involve succumbing to the power of the hypnotist or, in some semi-magical sense, being made to do something that would be personally dis­ agreeable were one not "hypnotized." Even if this were possible, and there is research that says it is not, having a person say or do things supposedly out of their control would be inconsistent with the purpose of therapy. In my opinion, asking people to perform extraordinary acts on stage represents a breach of the promise that nobody would be asked to "cluck like chickens or bark like dogs." Follow­ ing this reasoning, it follows that finding one's self doing a belly dance naked in front of others should not be poten­ tially embarrassing. First and foremost, therapy involves an agreement between client and therapist about integrity and respect for honest communication and personal feelings. As a therapist, I use hypnosis to facilitate personal empower­ ment finding internal abilities to act and feel in more satis­ fying ways, enabling personal growth. This is, of course, in line with the goals of any ethical therapist, at least those of us who work at the Counseling and Psychological Ser­ vices Center at Appalachian. My belief, based on my academic training, research, and years of therapy experience, is that almost everyone can benefit from hypnosis given that its use is respectful of a person's needs and values. Good therapy is necessarily always conducted in this context whereas stage hypnosis is not.

I also hear people saying, "Oh I can't get a burger from McDonalds; I don't have any money." People say this when in fact they do have money. This may seem confus­ ing but I think I have the answer. The American dream is to start poor, work hard and end up at the top. It is acceptable to say, "I don't have any money" because it is the opposite of bragging about all of the money you do have. And it is common knowledge that you cannot work your way up to the top if you are already there. It is acceptable though to have costly possessions. Anyone can say, "I can't go out because I have no money," 0 Sometimes I wonder how much students who do not participate in the world of collegiate athletics understand what it means to be a student athlete. More often then not I think we don't. I am not involved in any varsity sports, so I count myself with the ignorant. I have, however, had the plea­ sure of being friends with some collegiate atheletes. I know that those of us not involved tend to have a few precon­ ceived ideas about student athletes which are a little ri­ diculous. It seems that student athletes are becoming more and more associated with sexual crimes. Unfortunately, this is not completely unfounded. Perhaps more are involved than used to be, but I am certain that student athletes are not solely responsible for college crimes. Many people be­ lieve that student athletes are pushed so hard to be ag­ gressive that they become similar to the mythical Vikings: raping, pillaging and fighting whenever possible. This is a harsh representation but not too harsh for some folks to believe. I wonder if Aldwin Lance would have received so much attention had he not been a football player, regardless of whether he was guilty or not. Students have been found guilty of assault and have been given less attention then Aldwin. Even if he had played tennis or some other less violent sport, I feel his story may have been handled dif­ ferently than a non-athelete's. When we think about football players we often think mostly of barbarians or large, thick-necked ogres. I am sure one could find a few football players that fit this de­ scription and a few tennis players, flute players, etc. I'm not quite ready to assume this about all athletes, however. From what I have seen and know of student athletes, it is often a very different experience. Some stay so busy with their particular sport that many of their friends are also athletes from the same sport. Perhaps this lends itself to some of our more ridiculous stereotypes. People are more likely to think bad things about people they are not familiar with. The pressure on student athletes can be significant, especially with the sports that get more attention. The collective desire of the student body for the football team not to lose can be fairly immense. The college experience for a student athlete, while not exactly another world, is certainly a different experi­ ence. There is a level of commitment, a drive and a re­ sponsibility that is at least somewhat unique to being a student athlete. This is not to say that all student athletes work harder, but I understand that it is a lot of work. Student athletes also have the burden of being judged as a group, with both positive and negative stereotypes. While they may be focused on in a grossly unappropriate fashion, we must remember that student athletes are stu­ dents like ourselves. Some may be violent ogres, but most of the varsity competitors I have met are friendly and hard­ working, and have at no point tried to burn my village and steal my goods. run by money itS late Hill Tim Nicholson Columnist I have discovered that the election gangs (lobbyist! the states, the electoral college, the political parties, di media experts, etc.) control the information we get aboi Presidential candidates. Did you watch the Republican debates? Every didate danced the "flip-flop" to the tune of the media sultants and the pollsters. Whatever the polls focused (flat tax, free trade, abortion, the budget, religion, dowi to even negative ads) the candidates embraced. Thei views were not concrete. Only a certain type of person with a certain back ground can even think about running for President. Glar ing problems, which naturally accompany the selectid of powerful rulers, tend to eliminate the possibilityof Hon est, honorable, incorruptible candidates for major office Money, power and media don't mix with valuing equalii [ and rights. Money alone can get you into an election, as Forbe and Perot have proven. That can't be good seeing as hoi we began the voting process as a way to wrestle powt out of the abusive grip of the rich and powerful. Thes days a candidate needs huge bucks to win, period. A counter argument might be that only rich peopt have the skills to run a country well. Okay, so let tb president hire a financial expert.

This posture, which claims that only gay men and i.v. drug users get AIDS, shows a startling igno­ rance about the HIV epidemic. The fastest growing popu­ lation of HIV-infected individuals is now heterosexual women in monogamous relationships at the time they con­ tracted the virus. That means they weren't "screwing around" or "sticking dirty needles in their arms." Mr. Mackay"s ignorance about the facts is highlighted in his own article because he repeatedly states, "...people infected with HIV or the AIDS virus..." HIV is the AIDS virus! Take Ms. Urruela's advice and educate yourself about HIV and AIDS. Ignorance like Mr. Mackay's only perpetu­ ates the spread of this disease because it makes us believe we are immune. Just remember that HIV doesn't discrimi­ nate, so neither should you. jji responding to John Nolte's very confused set of 2she put them forth in "Stop Celebrating Differences" 127. The article has a long list of distortions and jormation, but two examples stick out especially in ^first is the entire premise of Nolte's article. He am advocating that we end the reasons black :CfflS find this separate identity necessary. We have j [o immerse dozens of cultures in our melting pot dding together and creating an identity all are comjlewith." Nolte overlooks the fact that if everyone -comfortable" with American culture, there would •obe little evidence of any oihct culture, not just American. The very fact that African Americans have developed such a diverse culture is a testament to how much people are not comfortable with "American so­ ciety." I would argue that John Nolte, by advocating the "end of a separate black identity," is discouraging and ren­ dering useless any liberatory or democratizing activism. The second problem I have with the article is due to his total lack of historical understanding. Nolte suggests that African-Americans were finally allowed to sit anywhere on the bus because, "they (the people of the South) recog­ nized the injustice." He goes on to suggest that other re­ form came about because Northerners "recognized the ef­ fects of their apathy." The very notion that there was a mass, nationwide epiphany that made the injustices of the past intolerable is ludicrous. The examples Nolte attempts to illustrate only came about because laws were passed and people chose to fight for equality. Why do you think million. If even the money for one deck were spent for better mass transit and bike and pedestrian systems, we would have adequate transportation for everyone, exercise would make folks healthier, we would have less traffic conges­ tion and air pollution, and more students would want to come here because of the calmer atmosphere. The com­ munity, including students, has already expressed strong support for alternative modes of transportation. And, just as we are poised to receive approval of the first bike-pe­ destrian ways that will connect campus to apartment com­ plexes, why would we want to lock into the expensive park­ ing deck soution and encourage the opposite trends? Harvard Ayers Professor, Anthropology Russell D. Yelton ASU Box 6633 Liz Boyer Piatt Academic Advisor North Carolina took over 10 years to integrate its public schools after the 1954 Brown v, Board of Education deci­ sion? The courts demanded it. Why did it take 40 years for Asian-Americans who were imprisoned during World War II to receive an apology? People never stopped fight­ ing for it. Change occurs because people refuse to sit around and, as Nolte puts it, "revel in their similarities." John Nolte tells us to "not celebrate our differences," but I think most readers can see what he really wants. By advo­ cating inaction and complacency he is fighting tooth and nail to maintain a status quo that is, after all, rooted in his white culture and domination. Nolte's melting pot is sim­ ply a can of white paint.

Priorities id 3 are each parking decks in three different locaon and near campus. I would like to suggest that uchian consider other alternatives to meet the parkMis of the university for the future. Vhv not stop giving parking permits to freshmen sturhich would free up a thousand or more spaces at 7 Upper classmen now parking on campus could State Farm and take AppalCART in. This would ite the need for any more spots on campus. UNC-Chapel Hill, freshmen do not get parking perfact, no student within two miles of campus gets a It talks. permit. People still go to school there. What's wrong with the parking deck idea is that they are expensive and encourage traffic jams and pollution. Chapel Hill has a series of outlying parking lots about two miles from campus and excellent mass transit, bike lanes and walking paths for movement from these lots and within the two-mile radius of the university. As for the expense, each parking spot in a parking deck will cost $8,000 to $9,000. The lower figure is with­ out security cameras that prevent rapes, assaults, robber­ ies and other typical parking deck crimes, the higher fig­ ure includes the security systems. Appalachian is talking about 500 spaces in the first of the three decks. That's $4 million without security systems and $4.5 million with them. If all three are built the cost will be at least $12 To the Editor: This letter is in response to the column by Kent Wag­ oner on treatment received by the infirmary. It appears that some Appalachian writers are inserious need of writ­ ing materials or least a better focus on the issues they present Mr. Wagoner's column on the "Slack Infirmary Sick­ ness" is just that, sick. How does he or anyone else ex­ pect to receive any better care from a department so un­ der-funded? The infirmary makes exceptional use of the facilities and resources they have. Mr.Wagoner is correct in pointing out that the infir­ mary is almost always overcrowded. One can expect to wait for an hour or more sometimes before seeing a doc­ tor or nurse. That is not the fault of the staff, but of the university in not providing adequate facilities to cover these needs. There are also procedures that must be followed by the infirmary. Scheduled appointments are taken but the majority of people arrive on a walk-in basis. This can cause a massive increase in the amount of waiting time. The nurses cannot put you anywhere because there is nowhere else to wait. I have had to sit on the floor in the hall before waiting to be seen. The most ignorant statement Mr.Wagoner makes is that of a "..flippant attitude and method of dealing with the students in an almost assembly line manner." When first arriving you will see a nurse Mr. Wagoner, not a doc­ tor! It is not the nurse's responsibility to give you a diag­ nosis on the spot. As to what the doctors do in their offices that take up so much time, how about the multi­ tude of students they see a day? Mr. Wagoner finally states that the accuracy of the infirmary's diagnoses have been for the most part cor­ rect. Is that not what matters? Who has ever been to any doctor's office and been seen on time anyway? We should not attempt to blame a dedicated staff for not having adequate resources to deal with the overwhelm­ ing job they have. I have no affiliation with the infirmary other than being treated there myself. Maybe one day people will realize that you only get what you pay for and we cer­ tainly are not footing an adequate bill. I also hope Mr. Wagoner never attempts to become a doctor as he obvi­ ously cannot diagnose a symptom from the true prob­ lem. not a workable solution Editor: Infirmary is the best it can be It talks to your Mom.

Steven Mackay (Mia mam Reporter To many people art exhibitions seem like garbage. But a new art show at Farthing Au­ ditorium really is garbage. Actual garbage and landfill materials are used in a new exhibition to teach viewers about rising environmental problems. The exhibition, titled "Views from Ground Level: Art and Ecology in the Late Nineties," is set up to raise awareness about the environment and the vast amounts of waste that humans put into it. In addition to the artworks on display in Farthing, the exhibition will also include guest speakers, ranging from the artists themselves to prominent art critics. The show opened Feb. 26 and will run until March 22. Included in the show are walls of paper waste, heart-shaped rocks found in rivers, muddy handprints of North Carolina environ­ mentalists, landfill materials, and a giant tongue sculpture that filters water via algae. All of these works point to the straining bal­ ance between the desire to have a clean envi­ ronment and the trash that we put into it. Hank Foreman, the "Ground Level" cu­ rator and assistant director of the Catherine J. Smith Gallery, based the exhibition on his master's thesis in art education at Appala­ chian. His thesis centered on art criticism components for the classroom and the use of the Earth as a medium. Foreman hopes that students and com­ munity members who see the show will pon­ der what they put into landfills. He also wants to raise awareness about the important so­ cial roles that artists and art criticism can play in today's environmentally conscious world. Foreman says there is a strong connection between art criticism and how we think about ourselves, our communities, and the Earth as a whole. "The environment is going to be one of the big issues in the next century. So, I com­ bined art criticism and the environment, and (I) moved into environmental art," says ForeThe artists whose works are on display include Mierle Laderman Ukeles, Jackie Brookner, dominique mazeaud and Bryant Holsenbeck. Their works center on various aspacts of the environment, from the impor­ tance oFrecycli'ng paper to the possible dan­ gers of landfills. All of the artists on display are women, because in the field of environmental art, the theme of feminism runs strong. Some of these artists are dubbed "Eco-feminists," but they tend to ignore such labeling. "They deal with the environment and feminism and the rela­ tionship between the domination of women and the domination of the Earth," says Fore­ man. Holsenbeck, a North Carolina artist who spoke at the Broyhill Music Center Feb. 26, created "Trees and Stuff: Palm Tress in the Snow." This mural uses chunks of old Christ- t , "3m, b 1 M Mlf jjgHh V ; I W. yf #4% pr­ W4 .i ill n w m •%*» r. -Si Iw lift T> UfM #; m A 11 * mas trees, 250 pounds of junk mail and dis­ carded phone messages from the art depart­ ment to overwhelm the viewer. She wants to create concern about the vast amounts of paper that we use and discard without so much as a thought. However, Holsenbeck doesn't want the viewer to feel guilty for their indulgences of the beloved flat-wood fibers. "I do not want to point the finger, (and say) that you are bad. I don't think that is going to help," says Holsenbeck. The centerpiece of "Views From Ground Level" is "Prima Lingua (First Tongue)" by Jackie Brookner, an artist from New York. "Prima Lingua" is a "water purification sculp­ ture" of a large tongue covered in volcanic rock and moss, standing in a small pool of water. Through a filtering system, water is run over the sculpture and the dirt is filtered out by the moss. As the water gets cleaner, Foreman and students from the biology de­ partment will add natural grass, snails and fish to the pool. Forman points out that one day every­ one could have their own "Prima Lingua" sculpture to purify their water. Still, it is not recommended to drink the water. "It's a really beautiful image and it's ac­ tually a functional sculpture. It's a real blend of science and art," says Foreman. Terry Suhre, director of Catherine J. Smith Gallery, calls "Views From Ground Level" the most ambitious project ever cre­ ated at Appalachian. "This exhibition pro­ gram, with its lectures and symposiums, stands up to anything anywhere in the country." v * w A "Trees and Stuff" is the title of Bryant Holsenback's art display (Top left and above) showing at the Catherine J. Smith Gallery. "Methangenesis" is the title of Mierle Ukeles art on display at the gallery (left). Holsenbeck stands in front of "Trees and Stuff" (below). (All photos by Bethany Parrish except below which was provided by the Appalachian News Bureau) Suhre agrees with Foreman's pushing of artists in today's social debates. "Art.as.aa ex­ pression, as an intellectual and emotiqnaj_expression, is a part of our everyday lives. Art­ ists can use their skills to ... bring us, perhaps, a new perspective or point of view on an im­ portant topic," says Suhre. The main thrust of "Views From Ground Level" is to raise awareness about the level of importance that art can hold in dealing with environmental and social problems. After see­ ing this show, the viewer cannot help think­ ing about how much information these artists have put forth with their works. "Most of these artists have a social agenda - (art) is not just for looking at," says Fore- BSA choir fills void An interview with Hosellen Brown Richard Smith Assistant Features Editor The Appalachian Black Student Association Gospel Choir of 1994 -95. (Photo provided by the BSA Gospel Choir) Kim Thomas Reporter Beautiful, spiritual, uplifting and aweome are just a few praises that the Black Stulent Association (BSA) Gospel Choir receives rom their listeners. Under the direction of the Rev. Cornelius 'oung of Shelby, their mission is to fill a spiriual void in their lives as well as others with be use of contemporary gospel, anthem and raditional spiritual music. The choir's president, Tiffany L. Alston, sophomore from Mebane majoring in secmdary education, says the choir fills a spiriual void in her life by, "... helping me spread he word of the gospel of Jesus Christ through Alston also feels the choir gives students chance to show their talents, either through song, playing instruments or directing. "The love I have for gospel music and singing pro­ vides me, as well as other members, the op­ portunity of a peaceful atmosphere and a time to serve God." Another member who shares Alston's view is Antwaun Clemmons. Clemmons, a freshman from Winston-Salem majoring in construction technology, says, "The choir ful­ fills spiritually what I miss at home. It's some­ thing I look forward to. It's the light of my day." Most members feel the strength of the choir builds a good spiritual foundation. Rhonda J. Pitts, a sophomore from Greens­ boro majoring in criminal justice, says, "The choir is a spiritual foundation that helps you feel like part of the group and the commu­ nity." Pitts feels this experience is not lim­ ited to African-American students but to all who want to rejoice in Christ through song. Student Director of the BSA Choir Fernando G. Little, a sophomore from Char­ lotte, agrees with Pitts about the choir filling a spiritual void. "We, the gospel choir, want to spread the gospel through song to a more diverse audience, not just African-Americans," says Little. Little's hopes are becoming a reality. More and more students outside of the Afri­ can-American race are attending their con­ certs. Elisabeth A. Black from Morgan ton, a junior psychology major, and her roommate Jennifer K. Davis, a sophomore from Morganton, attend the choir's concerts. "I enjoyed it very much - it was very uplifting," said Davis. Black said, "It was different from what I am used to - it was more free and spiri­ tual." Clemmons says, "The choir brings unity and with unity there is strength." An interview with Rosellen Brown, au­ thor of "Before and After," a novel about how a teenage son's committing a murder in a small town affects his family. The novel was recently a movie starring Meryl Streep, Liam Neeson, and Edward Furlong. Brown has earned many fellows and awards (a Guggenheim fellow, Ms. Magazine's "Woman of the Year" 1984, and the Janet Kafka Award for the best novel by an American Woman, "Civil Wars"). Brown addressed a class of stu­ dents Wednesday in Sanford hall Wednesday afternoon, and gave a reading at'Linville Falls Room of Plemmons' Student Union last night. A writer for over 40 years, Brown is energetic in her speech and very passionate about her work. .-Xt '• I What is your take on the whole book tour/ reading process? With a reading, you're trying to bring the work to an audience in person and feel their re­ sponse to it. What happened today (a class­ room question and answer session in Sanford Hall with students who have read the book) was a wonderful kind of situation where people have actually read the book and talked about it. But at a bookstore, it's kind of an odd thing. You go there and do a reading with the idea of selling books. But this (the classroom) is the best part of it - talking to an audience that has thought about the work and cares about it.

LECTURE IS FREE AND OPEN TO ALL STUDENTS, FACULTY AND STAFF. 8 pm, Wednesday, March 20, 1996 Plemmons Student Union Ballroom Sponsored by C a m p u s Crusade f o r Christ �Page 8 14 UliSIS I S« March ^ Sports Shannon Spencer, App s court general Mascot murdered Darryl Stevens Staff Writer Sports Feature To paraphrase the feelings of many stu­ dents of basketball, the most important posi­ tion on the court is point guard. More than any other player, the floor leader makes eveiyone else on the team a better player, and if that's truly the description of a great point guard, Appalachian State's Shannon Spencer fits the mold. Shannon Spencer's collegiate basketball career has been as successful as she might have ever dreamed. In four years at Appalachian she has set the school record for steals, will finish second in all-time assists, and is among the top five in career three-pointers. She earned the1993 Southern Conference Freshman-of-the-Year award. She's helped lead the Lady Mountaineers to a 73-39 record over those four years and has achieved one of her long-standing goals, as ASU played their way into an automatic berth in the NCAAs last week. But the soft-spoken senior is not one to overemphasize the importance of basketball in her life. Her major in special education has fostered a concern for young people. "I love kids," Spencer explains, "and 1 want to do whatever I can to be involved in their lives. I feel like I can have an impact." Spencer says that life at college would mean an adjustment for anyone, especially when athletics are part of the mix. "It was a shock to me. College athletics take up a tre­ mendous amount of time." Juggling both aca­ demics and sports is demanding, says Spen­ cer, but she believes she made the right deci­ sion in attending ASU. "(Coach Linda Robinson) was very hon­ est," says Spencer, describing App's recruitment of her as she finished her high school career in Newton, N.C. "You could tell she cared about her players as people, and not just as athletes." Robinson's emphasis on the books has paid off—Spencer is one of five 1994-95 Mountain­ eers who made the Southern Conference Aca­ demic Honor Roll. "Shannon has the point guard mentality," says coach Robinson. "She does a tremendous job of distributing the ball. However, she has recognized that we are better at times when she shoots. "During her freshman and sophomore years, a few teams decided not to guard her. But now she will get herself open in a very subtle way and be ready to take the shot." This willingness to shoulder the load in pressure situations has rewarded Spencer and the Mountaineers. Her maturity on the court mani­ fested itself late in the season, as she drained clutch free throws in home wins against Marshall and East Tennessee State. With the leadership responsibilities have come an increased role in ASLTs offense. Spen­ cer, already among the conference leaders in minutes per game the past two seasons, is av­ eraging almost 10 points this year, up from her career 6.3 average. Her 341 steals are just 14 behind all-time conference leader Nancy Smith of Tennessee-Chattanooga, a testament to the player after opposing player who Spencer has victimized with her quick hands. Spencer cherishes the friendships she has formed at Appalachian as much as the times she has experienced on the court. The team's only other senior, Finland native Karolina Karlqvist, has become a special part of Spencer's life. "She's wonderful," says Spen­ cer, adding that Karlqvist's candidness and genuinely nice personality are rare qualities. "(Our friendship) means the world to me." Although sports may not be the most im­ portant part of her life, the Lady Mountain­ eers' smallest player knows how to play big. After a freshman season during which the team finished 10-17, and fell to Furman in the league tournament the following year, ASU endured its second straight semifinal loss last March. "We were kind of disappointed coming off the regular season," remembers Spencer. As the 1994-95 season came to a close, Appala­ chian was striding through the conference's competition and had built a15-3 overall record (7-1 Southern), but won just four of its remain­ ing 10 games going into the tournament. "I David Willis Sports Editor Sports Commentary Shannon Spencer breaks away from the pack and goes in for an uncontested layup in the first round of the Southern Conference Tournament. She is second in the conference in career steals. (Photo by Jason Wilkinson) think (last year) is something we've used this year to keep pushing us. "Our focus this year has been to take it one game at a time," says Spencer, echoing her coach's philosophy. "The last two years we've had chances to win (the conference tour­ ney). Some tough losses at the beginning of the season gave us confidence. We knew we could compete." The Lady Apps dropped close games to Florida and Iowa, both Top 25 teams, early in the season. "In most of our losses, one play could have given us the win." Spencer points to her parents. Jovce and Jimmy, as the biggest source of motivation for her. One of the major factors in her decision to come to Boone was that her parents could continue to watch her play. "I can't remember a game that either of my parents missed," she says, recalling that her dad came out into the yard to play ball with her as a child. "(My parents) have sup­ ported me in everything, not just athletics." This season is still unfinished for the Lady Mountaineers, and Spencer believes in the strong friendships which connect the team. "Everybody has been really coming together, trying to do their part to help us win." The best thought for Appalachian to keep in mind as they travel to Alabama for the NCAA's first round, says Spencer: "Each game, every play counts." Johnson named All-American David Willis Sports Editor Senior Robert "Poose" Johnson received All-American honors at the NCAA Indoor Track Championships this past weekend in Indianapolis. Johnson improved on his triple jump performance from last year by jumping 51' 8", three feet further than last season. Over­ all, Johnson finished 10th after being ranked 14th heading into the championships. Johnson qualified for the meet with a jump of 52' 8", but had not competed, nor been able to practice for almost five weeks due to a broken wrist. To recieve All-American status, one must Johnson finish among the top eight American com­ petitors. Johnson was the seventh highest American after the triple jump was over. He and the rest of the track team will now be focused on the outdoor season which has already begun. In a world where sports have beco more of a business and less of a game so^ fans, coaches, and even athletes are talon* things a little too seriously, and the re missions have inevitably left a dark clo- d over the world of sports. I am not sure how many of you are aware of the recent slaying of the Univei* sity of North Carolina's mascot, but Rameses' death was not only brutal, but should cause concern to anyone associated with athletic around the world. Rameses is the nickname of the Cam. lina Blue horned white ram that has been a symbol for Tar Heel fans since 1924. Roughly two weeks ago, the latest Rameses was found dead on its caretaker's farm. The ram had been brutally stabbed 10 times in the neck and chest and had been literally eut. o ted. The autopsy report showed that Rameses died due to a severed artery in his neck. If that were not bad enough, the cul­ prits also chopped off one of the ram's front legs. It is inconceivable that anyone couk possibly inflict that kind of a senseless at­ tack on an animal just because of its association with a ball team. The mascot had been the victim of many pranks in the past, such as being kidnapped before a big game,1 but had always been returned unharmed, j In a society where children recognizesports figures more often than historical fig. ures, imagine parents having to explain to their children how this could have happened I wish someone would explain it to me. If sports have become such a big time industry, and people are actually willing to resort to violence because they just do not like a team or school, then maybe college and pro sports should be done away with h altogether. People need to realize and remember V that while athletics may pay their bills and put food on the table, a game is a game am should not result in producing the kind <fl hatred that would invoke an act such as this.! Whatever happened to the saying, 'It's not whether you win or lose, but how youj play the game." It turned into "Win at any cost." A practical joke is a practical joke, but' murdering a defenseless animal due to in, athletic association is absurd, and anyone caught performing such acts should be pros-; ecuted on charges of murder, not just anij mal cruelty. ASU men's tennis 3-1 over Mike Daniels Assistant Sports Editor While the rest of ASU was in Florida, the Carribean or wherever else, the ASU men's ten­ nis team was going to exotic places like Rock Hill and Charleston, South Carolina. However, the Mountaineers did have fun on their vacation. Besides getting out of Boone, the team went 3-1 on their road swing. The first match for the Apps was against Winthrop in Rock Hill. The team won that match by the score of 6-1. All three doubles teams won and the only singles player to go down was number one Pedro Lopes. Cruising to victory was ASU's sixth singles player Frank Connor, who won his match 6-1, 6-0 and won a match at number f uuuDles wuh partner Greg May 8-3. ASLTs next challenge came against Coastal Carolina in Myrtle Beach.. This match proved to be a greater stuggle than the Winthrop match had been but the Apps still won 5-2. Most of these matches required some extra effort by the Apps. The only easy winners were Connor and May at third singles who won 8-1. ASU's competion got even stiffer when they traveled to Charleston to take on The Cit» del and College of Charleston. The Apps wot I their conference match against The Citadel % 0 despite some very tough play by the Buljj dogs. The Mountaineers finally dropped one next day in their contest with College oi Charleston. ASU lost 4-2 despite the contin­ ued strong play of Connor, May, and fi singles, second doubles man Zach Sharpe. i three went undefeated through the foif matches. ASU's record now stands at 7-3 as thej prepare for matches this week against NC St^ and UNC-Greensboro March Madness strikes again Mike Daniels Assistant Sports Editor Sports Commentary Here it is March already, and wouldn't you know its time for a little madness. Yes, the NCAA Tournament is upon us once again and as always every office, high school, fraternity house, and police station in America will be having their yearly pool. Now I know many of you are confused about who to pick. You pay your money, take your pool sheet, sit down with a pencil and the sports page, and get up 10 minutes later for a break with only the number one seeds circled in the first round. Lets face it, filling out one of these things can be hard. There's so many factors and things to consider. There's enough information out there to overwhelm the CIA, let alone the av­ erage Joe trying to make his picks. So what I'm going to do is just go over the very basics that you need to know when playing the pool for those of you who have yet to turn your sheet in. UPSETS: There are ALWAYS going to be up­ sets in the early rounds. You cannot just go down the sheet and pick the higher seeds. Did you know that nine seeds have a winning record against eight seeds? Did you know that twice a number 15 seed has beaten a number two seed in the first round? My advice to you is to put in some upsets even though it goes against your strongest in­ stincts. You should always pick at least one 13 or 14 seed to win a first round game. In this year's pool I'm taking 13th seeded Princeton over fourth seeded defending champ UCLA. I'm not just taking Princeton because they're one of my favorite teams, but because they have the strongest defense in the country allowing only 51.5 points per game and an of­ fense which always frustrates even the best teams. You may remember back in 1989 when as a 16th seed they lost to number one seed Georgetown by only one point. Another thing I'd advise against is putting all four one seeds in the final four. That al­ most never happens. At least one, two or three seed should make it to East Rutherford. Look at last year when fourth seeded Oklahoma State made it to the final four. CONFERENCES: When in doubt, go with teams from strong conferences. Teams from the Big East, ACC, SEC, etc. play strong teams during the season all the time. Teams from conferences like the Metro-Atlantic and Ohio Valley play teams that are, well...from those conferences. Good ones to go with include Virginia Tech over Wisconsin Green-Bay and Boston College over Indiana. In fact,' '°T for all the Big Ten teams except Purduet0 wj out very early. The Big Ten was jus^ noBi| VC1Z caiijf. Hie L"6 . the strong conference this year whereas . East was. Also look for teams that p J strong out of conference schedules like e ^ and Duke to do better than expected. END OF SEASON: How a team finlS^ J the regular season can also be a very g i the bw dicator of how long they will last in 1 dance. If a team comes in having j strong by winning their conference tour "j nuttinv together a strine of wins <a?a"|^ putting string teams, look for them to advance in 1 nament. A good example of this is Ji Tech, which was 6-7 at one point t is but came on strong in the last two ^J, and was the regular >cowi. - — fl-aH'- | i season ACC c'iaa is the type of team that could Pos^ teaIllSa the final four. Another one of these Geogretown. innzl'Hl Teams that were good all season ^ UMass, Kentucky and UConn are t ie o ^ J should be considered for that nationa box in the middle of your pool s'icet. Other than that, there's not muc J can say. Have fun, and don't svveat 0 ^ st thing, because the winners of the.SeihasH usually not ESPN analysts or colleg^h a littW ball junkies, but just common folks wi bit of luck. �114 March 1996 Page 9 Mountain biking season begins This winter has not been inviting to go out and ride your bike in. The temperature has rarely been over freezing, and when it was, the trail was all mud. Spring is soon to be here though, and the time has come to get into shape. The best way to get into shape would be just getting out and riding. You will be sore, but it is only bad the day after your first ride. If you ride the next day, it will help your soreness Robert Anthony Reporter The North Carolina Mountain bike Championship is about to "crank up," so it's time to dust off your bike.

AppalCART: Who drives the bus. ch n, 1996 Appalachian State University, Boone, North Carolina, 2S608 Volume 70, Number 35 Ipartment fire kills one, displaces 16 'Entity of victim and cause of fire still unknown Angela Brady Editor-in-Chief ImjypBi % '% • V \tr* * J* ii An early morning fire Saturday left one person dead and 16 people homeless when a Blowing Rock apartment building burned. Chief Reginald Hassler of the Boone Fire De­ partment, said today the autopsy revealed that the person died of smoke inhalation. The apartments, Summit Woods Phase II, located on Niley Cook Road in Blow­ ing Rock, are managed by Appalachian Man­ agement Service of Boone. The apartment complex consisted of three buildings, one building was destroyed, while the others suf­ fered only minor smoke and water damage. While there were12 units in the building, only nine were rented. Boone Fire Department was the first to receive the call, at 4:49 a.m. Saturday. Hassler said that Blowing Rock Fire Depart­ ment and the Sheriffs office were the next to respond. By the time firefighters reached the scene, the building was consumed in flames, fed by the high winter winds. Officials have not yet released the name of the victim. According to the Sheriff's office, County Fire Marshall Tom Collins is working with the state medical examiner to determine the identity of the body. Patholo­ gists at Winston-Salem's Baptist Hospital will be responsible for releasing the name. According to Sunday's Winston-Sa­ lem Journal, however, the owners of the build­ ing believe the victim was Jeremy C. Fisher Jr. The cause of the fire is still undeter­ mined, as well. The Boone Fire Department is working with Collins and the State Bureau of Investigation to determine the cause. But according to Assistant Fire Marshall Mike Teague, the blaze is believed to have started on the second floor. Maggie Tilley, wife of Appalachian Management System's owner Harold Tilley, said all the apartments were equipped with smoke detectors, in accordance with a new state build­ ing code which went into effect Jan. 1. "Most of the detectors were only about four and a half months old. But all the smoke detectors had b«m checked recently," said Tilley, "and were found to be in good working order." Hassler said it has not been determined whether the detector in the victim's apartment was wc/iiv.ng at the time of the hre. •Ve've certainly been thanking every­ one involved," said Tilley of those helping with the aftermath. "The Boone community really pulled together. Road crews were out very early to salt the roads making sure emergency ve­ hicles could get through." And according to Hassler, seven volunteer fire departments came to aid in the fight. The Boone chapter of the American Red Cross set up a center at the Holiday Inn of Boone to accommodate people who had lost theiF apartments. Tilley said arrangements have been made to get everyone in new apartments. "The tenants are looking at the new apartments now to make sure they can live there comfortably." "Only a couple of the tenants were students," said Tilley. "The rest were families, one with children." The Boone chapter of the American RrH Cross is soliciting for donations. Every­ thing short of furniture for the apartments is needed. You may contact the chapter at 2648226.

Also discussed was the d10 make alternative transportation more II incentive to students and people in the (taiity. The forum panel included Dr. A1 V ! 1 program director of systems and speprojects at Appalachian; Dr. Clyde D. 'ins, physical plant administrator; Dr. M G. Ayers, professor of anthropology; J Nly Trnavsky ; Megan E. McCaskill, SGA ' ,or and Brett W. Walters, SGA senator. "1 vv, ildn't attempt to tell you park^t a problem," said Rapp. He feels two need to be incorporated at Appalachian: availability of spaces and reeducate Pwple who are parking. Convenience was another issue men^ Rapp said students have to accept the J**can walk five to 10 minutes just as 1 2 a s walking 30 seconds to get to a desig® point. ^ According to Robbins, campus ktiiis one reason parking is such a probjJn(' decks are being considered. He said R'aces have been lost to construction in ^ 1 four years and 150 to 200 are expected ost in the future due to more construeD academic buildings. Rapp said Appalachian has used up all it's peripheal space for parking like at South lot, the old Winn-Dixie, and State Farm. "There aren't a lot of parking opportunities in Boone," he said. Students and panel members gave reasons why they thought a deck should not be built. "With enrollment increasing, cars are going to increase," said Walters. But he said congestion is the real problem in Boone and traffic will only increase with a deck. Another issue Walters brought up in­ volving the deck is the cost it would require students and faculty to pay for parking. Fac­ ulty could be paying up to $175 a year and students could be paying up to $225. In their transportation report, Hayes, Seay, Mattern & Mattern, Inc., recommended parking areas on campus be divided into high demand and low demand areas. These high demand areas would be divided into three packages: one for Monday, Wednesday, Friday one for Tues­ day, Thursday, and one for Monday through Friday. "It's not a viable option," said Walters. "It's too much to ask." Ayers said students need to have more incentive to use other forms of transpor­ tation. Boone has no transit system to places like Winston-Salem, Asheville, and Charlotte. "There is no demand for it," Ayers said. He said so many students have cars in Boone any­ way, they should not have to ask for anything more. Rapp said transportation is a very complex issue. "We ( the county and ASU) have to work together," he said. He said rea­ sonable alternatives need to be provided. "There is no perfect solution." Robbins said Americans have a love affair with their automobiles. He said he is not a strong advocate for decks, but feels they would be a service. One way suggested to add incentive to students to use alternative modes include improving the AppalCART. Many students felt the routes should run every 30 minutes and have more direct routes. One student who lives at App Heights said she uses the AppalCART during the day, but as soon as she can drive her car on cam­ pus, she does. She said it is more convenient and much safer than waiting in the shelters hoping the AppalCART is on time. The alternative of riding bikes was also discussed and how this alternative could be utilized more. Many of the students were concerned about the safety of riding bikes in Boone Decause several of them have been hit. Bike riders have also had problems on Rivers Street with the bike lane being full of garbage and gravel, or cars being parked in that area. "It's going to take a lot of time and effort to find a balance that works," said Rapp. Robbins said we need to preserve our options with parking whether they be peripheal or central to campus. "Automobiles are the forseeable way of the future," he said. "The automobile is one of the alternatives and you have to look at the total population." Ayers said Appalachian has an idea to be supply and demand oriented instead of conservation oriented. He said there will not be a demand for conservation as long as Ap­ palachian continues to operate in its present mode. Hcohol related events allowed at The Horn •. Horn in the West will be able to host "ol related events, such as Thaw Out, dur1( one-' M /6ar tr'3' Per'°H- The Boone Town Sai (a °Pted the recommendations of the as force set up by the council at the meeting. nance concerning Horn in the West. The task force recommended that no alcohol sales be allowed on sight and there be a six-pack limit at all events. The committee also suggested concerts not begin before noon and end at 6:30 p.m. Another suggestion made by the task force was that there be no reentry at con­ cert events at the Horn. The fourth recommendation cen­ tered on event management at the Horn. First the organization planning the event must sub­ mit an event management plan to the Boone Alcohol Law Enforcement (ALE) officer. The fifth recommendation from the task force was to draft the above amendments into the rental agreement with Horn in the West. The last suggestion presented to the Town Council was that the recommendations be accepted as Boone's alcohol policy at the Horn in the West for a one year period The Town Council adopted the rec­ ommendations of the task force and the coun­ cil will vote to an exception concerning Horn in the West to the standing alcohol ordinance. "The dabate was close, emotional and split pretty even," said Councilman Hunter Schofield. The recommendations were ac­ cepted three to two. "It was definitely chal­ lenging," he said. After the one year trial period ends the Town Council will reexamine the policy and establish a new policy if necessary. At the meeting, Schofield said,"All students need to stand up and take responsibilty for the world around them, and we did, and it is positive." Councilman Jimmy Smith voted for the adoption of the recommendations. "It looked like a reasonalble compromise," he said. "It will make it a more wholesome setting." ASU director of athletics announced last week that the contract of men s basketball coach Tom Apke will not be renewed. Apke has been with the team for ten years and compiled a 139-147 record at Appalachian. Apke's dismissal comes after ASU s 8-20 record this season.

It does little to tell the human side, however, mentioning only that one person was killed and 16 people were without homes. Needless to say, however, the 16 should be counted among the lucky ones. Sure, they lost their homes, and if they did not have renter's insurance, they lost all of their possessions, as well. But they still have each other, and thanks to help from many in the community, they have help in rebuilding their lives. As tenants rushed out of their homes in the early ; morning hours, in most cases clothed only in their pajamas, neighbors topk them into their homes, giv­ ing them blankets off their beds to keep them warm and gave them coffee. Local fast food restaurants ' brought food to calm the rumbling stomachs. With the blaze growing ever larger thanks to Old Man Winter's heavy breath, 35 firefighters from seven fire departments helped to contain the flames and put them out. Most of the firefighters were from volunteer departments. They left their families to battle the weather and the fire, and to try to help out other families. Road crews came out to salt the steep road, mak­ ing it easier for rescue vehicles to make it to the top of Niley Cook Road where the apartment building sat. All of this in the cold, dark wee hours of Satur­ day morning. Organizations also lent helping hands. The Boone chapter of the American Red Cross set up a comfort center in the Holiday Inn, to shelter those who were displaced. The Red Cross is also accepting donations of everything from bed sheets to clothes and everything in between to help these folks begin to rebuild their lives. Individuals and campus orga­ nizations are encouraged to give the Red Cross a call at 264-8226. In Boone, where most apartment rental organi­ zations have reputations as being less than caring and helpful in most situations, Appalachian Manage­ ment has put a dent in that reputation. All of the tenants of those apartments have been relocated to furnished apartments elsewhere. And in the midst of all the loss and tragedy, there was one amazing story to be told. One family, who had just cashed their paychecks and had the money sitting in a little bundle in their apartment, thought they were going to be penniless as well as homeless. However, when firefighters went in after putting out the fire, they found the bundle of money. It had been protected from the inferno by the weather. When firefighters hosed-down the building, the water froze on the money, keeping it from burning. It seems that even in the darkest instances, some­ thing always emerges that we should be thankful for. It sometimes seems difficult to find those things, but if we look hard enough, we will see that they are there. As all the families affected by this tragedy con­ tinue to work through their loss, our thoughts and prayers go out to them. Especially to the family who lost a loved one.

It is not in the bathroom mirror or on this campus. We live in an imperfect world that advertises perfec­ tion for everyone, especially when it comes to appearances. For example super models sell potato chips with an overt promise that you can eat like one of the guys and still look like one of the girls. Messages like these saturate our minds daily. It almost takes a conscious effort to realize that eat­ ing potato chips will in no way help us become as beauti­ ful as the girl on the advertisement because she is not "one of the girls". She is a super model who works hard at keeping up her body and uses surgery and camera tricks to take care of the rest. The stars on television are successful, happy and most importantly, drop-dead gorgeous. Everyone wants to lead the exciting lives that superstars seem to have. The dan­ gerous message that television sends is that looks are the key to happiness. Take the television show Melrose Place for example. The characters on this television program always look great and always have a steamy romance to keep up with. On Baywatch, the characters bask in their beauty day by day as they run across the beaches saving lives. What we may not realize is that lifeguards don't make much more than minimum wage, they don't save lives daily, it gets cold and rainy on the beaches and they do not all look perfect in a swimsuit. The message that people should look perfect can turn into a way of life for some people. Television pushes us too hard to stay trim and look good. Each year women die because they starve themselves to death. In fact five per­ cent of teenage females are anorexic. This does not mean that they will die, although the disease sometimes kills. It does mean their dieting is out of control. If you know a friend is dieting in a way that is unsafe, encourage that person to seek free help from Appalachian's Counseling Center. For most people, comparing appearances to the su­ perstars on television comes on a smaller scale. They may not starve themselves into sickness, but the results can be almost as harmful. A poor self-image haunts these people for years. Expecting a perfect appearance from others is a daj gerous thing to do as well. Looking around Appalachiai campus, anyone can find nature lovers with dreadlod book worms with wire-rimmed glasses, the girl next do or the average Joe. Appreciate these people for who th< are, not how close they come to looking as good as a s perstar. In the end, everyone will fall short of a fantasy, i that is all that television is anyway. Native American images in sports Daniel Bothun Columnist Nothing could be more American than a father sitting with his son, watching the Atlanta Braves play the Cleve­ land Indians. The father and son could do the Tomahawk Chop together, while eating hot dogs and drinking sodas. These two are would enjoy a baseball game, ignoring the blatant stereotypical images used by both clubs. The use of Native Americans as mascots should not be tolerated by any American, because these images portray them in a negative light. What if there were teams such as the Washington Rednecks or the Kansas City Honkeys? Would white America tolerate the use of these team names? I don't think so. Michael Green wrote a great article in the April 1993 edition of the Journal of Business Ethics about the use of Native American images not only in sports, but in adver­ tising as well. The sports part of his article is very interest­ ing. Michael Green makes two good points about the use of these images in sports. First, these images imply that Native Americans are bloodthirsty savages. Green writes, "If the conception of the Bloodthirsty Savage depends on the view that indig­ enous people are no better than carnivorous animals that wantonly kill and destroy." Second, the use of this type of imagery implies that the bloodthirsty savage needs "to be civilized by a supposedly superior culture." Both concepts or implications deny Native Americans their humanity. The use of this type of imagery should not be tolerated, because it reinforces the "savage" image. What has been done about this stereotyping? Well, Native Americans have protested at games that include such teams. In the Jan. 271992 edition of the New York Times, there was an article about a specific protest. Two thou­ sand Native Americans protested the Redskins-Bills Super Bowl in 1992, but were not taken seriously by fans, nor NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue. He believes that the, "American Indians are a relatively weak group politically." These teams (Redskins, Braves, etc.) should change their mascots to something different. I will not offer any mascot names, because I know that they might never be used. Some people may have objections to my argument, so let me address some possible objections. Objection one: Baseball and Football are only sports and/or games. I guess that games are more important than the ij fair treatment of an entire race of people. Besides, the games are attended by many fans. These fans have t warrior image of Native Americans ingrained in their heat How can race relations improve in America with discrii nation in its sports games? Objection two: It will cost a lot of money to chan the logos on all merchandise, uniforms, etc. The owi* would be forced to raise ticket prices. Not necessarily. Fundraisers could be held to finairaji the logo change. Another possibility is that some player| salaries could be cut. The players that make over 2 millioi) j a year could have a $200,000 pay cut. Don't you think j that some baseball players make enough money already1 A more probable solution to the monetary problem could be dealt with through merchandising. A lot of money is made through selling baseball merchandise, so why can't some of the profit go to finance a new logo? The old stuff could be sold at a large discount, because it all must bf liquidated anyway. Finally, the owner could finance this expense out of his/her own pocket. I think Ted Rimer can afford it. I am not saying that baseball and football are bad sports, but I am advocating that we need to stand up for human rights. Take a moment to at least ponder what it might be like to be on the receiving end of this negative j| imagery. violence should Breaking laws does not be accepted not warrant abuse Tim Nicholson Columnist A bomber kills children in Oklahoma and we all think it was stupid, sick and horrible. A bomber kills children in Hiroshima and people think that's different somehow. Yes, it is in some ways, but does that make it acceptable? What if they were my children? Can children be considered to be enemies even if they are not old enough to have a say? "frying to make sense of violence and murder is difficult If violence makes sense in some situations, then we shouldn't be shocked or vengeful about it in others. If it's not okay, we should not advocate it at all, whether as a last resort or not. The death penalty advocates violence. Mario Cuomo said, "We are using brutality, not stop­ ping brutality. The death penalty shows no signs of stop­ ping or even slowing down violence." He's right. We are teaching our children that violence is the ultimate an­ swer. The problem is common sense versus hypocrisy, rather than an issue of morality. Let's get straight on what our attitude toward vio­ lence really is. I ask people (including Christians like me who say war and the death penalty are moral), what did Jesus say about enemies and violence overall? Did he use violence or stop it? 1 know he told his disciples that things were getting so bad that they should pick up swords, but then immediatelystopped them when they did and healed the ones they had injured. I challenge anyone to draw a situational ethical dilemma from the quotes, "Love your enemies" and, "If someone strikes you...tum the other cheek." Logically, what is good or bad about violence? "Vio­ lence" means coercive force and doesn't necessarily mean it has to be physical. Do we approve of it when it hap­ pens to ourselves and loved ones? Do we like it better see Violence page 5 Vanessa Urruela Editorials Editor she deserved to be handled roughly by a police officer f screaming threats of macing her while sitting on top of as cars whizzed by.

Violence opposes freedom and choice. Coercion or lack of freedom must accompany power to qualify as violence. Then, if soldiers want to agree to kill each other, fine, but not children. From my point of view, we would do well to avoid all violence, even self-defense. Some people actually seem to enjoy hurting others or watching others get hurt, but 1see that as the a natural mistake. That perspective that vio­ lence is necessary and useful comes from weakness and fear. Naturally we are fascinated by the fact that something can hurt and kill us. It's interesting. We should want to know about it, and it makes sense that it's easier to ob­ serve it happening to others than to us. That's okay, as long as we don't get carried away in our zeal of fascination and hurt someone just to see. We can certainly afford to try an anti-violent approach. What if we make a mistake?

This training is paying off for one Appalachian stu­ dent. Senior Jennifer D. Samson, a studio art major from Florida, is discovering that it pays to have the broad knowledge an art degree from Appalachian can give you. Florida is where Samson's thirst and ap­ preciation for art first began. "My middle school art teacher focused in on me and chal­ lenged me. She showed me her life as an art­ ist," says Samson. Art students at Appalachian usually go into one of two major areas; studio art or graphic design. From there, different concentrations separate the sculptor from the painter. Samson's areas of concentration include painting, drawing, and alloys. Alloys involve jewelry making, for which Samson has won awards. When she graduates, Samson will be completely trained repair jewelry repair, should she finds herself truly becoming a starving artist. Another field in which Samson can put her degree to work is illustrating children's books. In fact, she has already started doing this. Samson has taken courses ranging from photography and print making to sculpting and welding. She has used everything from acid to power tools. "I'm always messy," she says. Encouraging teachers and special recogni­ tion of her talents helped her to decide early on that art was what she wanted to do with her life. "Everyone always encouraged me, and the word that scared me the most was 'potential.' It's something I try to live up to every day," says Samson. As modest and humble as she is, Samson is living up to her potential. Her work has received a variety of awards. She has had paintings displayed in the Bean Stalk and has Jennifer D. Samson has won a number of awards for her art (ahove and at right.. (Photos provided by Samson) had a painting and a piece of jewelry exhib­ ited in the Art Expo the past two years. She even won a logo contest for a mu­ seum in Florida and designed the uniform for a racing circuit pit crew in Florida. "Winning contests is a form of public ac­ ceptance of your work that gives you a con­ fidence boost," says Samson. Samson is a member of the Student Art League and is on the board of the Looking Glass Gallery. When asked about her goals as an artist, she smiles and speaks modestly about her future. "As a person, I just want to be able to do my art. Experience is the prime factor to be­ ing a good artist," she says. She wants to event'iallv go to graduate school after a few years in a different atmo­ sphere. The big city seems to be her calling and, as most artists, she holds the dream of making it in that environment. Her one humble request is that people take a little more time to recognize the arts and experience that part of our culture. "I would like to see more awareness of local artists. Too many Americans are missing the art that sur­ rounds them on their way to reaching their goals," says Samson. In a culturally conscious, roundabout way, she is reaching hers. Appalachian student es 9RMauryPovich \A/hn Lt II C/ O thp LJ LJ?9° rlrlupQ LI I O hiiq I I CJ V w w a RichardSmith Richard Smith Assistant Features Editor Wendy White Reporter Don't you hate it when you're in a hurty to get somewhere and you get stuck behind the AppalCART with no hopes of passing and must slow down to an ungodly 35 mph or even less? Or, have you ever been tardy for class or an appointment through no fault of your own because the AppalCART is running late? If you're understandably frustrated with the seemingly eternally slow and late AppalCART, then just try to imagine life without it. One of the most disregarded but most important ser­ vices offered by Appalachian is the AppalCART bus system. Almost every student will use the AppalCART at least once while they're here, often, even more than that. Whether it's the freshman who catches a ride back to campus from State Farm, or Appalachian Heights/ Mountaineer Apartment residents who ride down the mountain to class, the AppalCART renders an invaluable, though often unappre­ ciated, service to Appalachian and the sur­ rounding community. Frank C. Cascio has been an AppalCART driver for four years and is also a student at Appalachian. He says that driving a bus is harder than you think and that as a bus driver he often receives unfair criticism for problems like traffic or weather. "It's more than riding around in circles all day. We are constantly working against the clock to arrive at our des­ tinations on time to get people where they need to go. We drive through all kinds of weather including rain, snow, and ice. We're out in it when most people stay inside. Not to men­ tion Boone traffic, which varies about as much as the weather. " According to Cascio, the majority of AppalCART riders are kind and un­ derstanding, but occasionally you have people who think the world is centered around them. "Especially during exam time, students get stressed and take their anxiety out on the in­ nocent bus driver. I've been cursed at and even threatened. In fact, once I had to call the po­ lice on some guys." Cascio said some students talk down to him like he's dumb or incompetent, because of the stereotypical beliefs about bus drivers. But this computer science major is no yo-yo and wants to break down that stereotype. Says Cascio, "Just because I drive a bus forty hours a week doesn't make me dumb. I get rude people on this bus sometimes and I want to stand up and say, "Hey, I'm a student just like you!" It's a job that pays money, like any other; it's not a flaw in my character." According to Appalcart Transportation Di­ rector Chris "Rimer, the rules and requirements for Appalcart drivers are tough. "We have strict standards for our drivers. Before we hire any­ one, they are tested for drug and alcohol use and are subject to random tests throughout their employment. In order to drive Appalcart buses, you must also get your $65 commercial driver's license. During their first year of em­ ployment, AppalCART drivers receive several types of training. "We have Safe Driving AppalCART offers convenient service for students (Photos Bethany Parrish) courses, First Aid and CPR courses, and a Dealing with Difficult People course. (Yes, it's really a course)," says "Rimer. Edward S. Sieber, a junior economics major from Miami, rides the AppalCART ev­ eryday. "Most of my classes are in Raley Hall, and when I get done, I wait at the steps in front of Raley for the Appalcart. It's very convenient and saves me walking time. " Jim Harrison drives the AppalCART as a second job. During the summer, he works at Hidden Val­ ley Motel in Foscoe, which he and his wife own. Ac­ cording to Harrison, not only do driv­ ers have to deal with traffic and weather, but at the end of their shifts, drivers are responsible for filling the bus up with gas and night drivers have to wash their bus in the washbay located at the AppalCART center. While trying to keep on route, drivers are also responsible for count­ ing and recording how many people ride, and whether these people pay the $.50 fee or use their Appalachian ID. "I enjoy driving for Appalcart because I'm a people person. You get to know people, maybe not their names, but you get to know their faces and routines. This young man rides with me everyday and he will get off at the Winn Dixie stop," says Harrison pointing to a man at the bus stop coming up. The man boarded the bus with a polite greeting of rec­ ognition and sat down quietly in his seat. Sure enough, he got off at Winn Dixie. Harrison just smiled and said, "have a nice day." Ken M. Chauvin, a graduate student, rides Harrison's Pop 105 route every Tuesday and Thursday. "Compared to paying a $100.00 fee for a parking sticker, I save gas money and automobile ex­ penses by riding the AppalCART. • It's cheaper, if not more convenient and helps to relieve traffic con­ gestion problems," says Chauvin. Being an Appalcart driver often involves more than just driving. "A good part of my job is that I get to help people. For example, some­ times late at night, girls ask me to watch them walk to their cars and make sure they get in all right before leaving. It's good that they feel they can depend on me," says Cascio. People get so used to see­ ing the white buses totter­ ing around Boone that they forget how im­ portant the busses really are to many people. AppalCARTs are as much a part of Appala­ chian as the mountains themselves. So the next time the AppalCART is late getting to your stop or you find yourself riding behind a cloud of carbon monoxide, refrain from curs­ ing and just try to grin and bear it. Makeovers, fights, reunions, marriage proposals - anything goes on talk shows, the sensationalized windows into the lives of av­ erage people. These folks tell millions of view­ ers each day tales of love, scandal, and any­ thing else entertaining. But for Valerie S. Lindemann, an Appalachian senior from Hickory, the talk show phenomenon is more than just entertainment; it was a day she'll never forget. "Your ex-boyfriend left after he found out you were pregnant ... would you ever con­ sider taking him back?" asked Maury Povich to a panel of single mothers. Lindemann was on this panel of guests this past summer, one month after giving birth to her son, Thomas. Lindemann and her boyfriend of three years had recently ended their relationship, and their situation perfectly matched the idea dis­ played at the end of a Povich show a few weeks earlier, prompting her to call the stu­ dio. Nothing happened for several weeks, but one day (when the couple was arguing at her place) the phone rang; "This is Preston from The Maury Povich Show. We'd like to find out more about your story." What followed was a week of phone calls from the studio to her and her ex-boyfriend. "They called back and forth, getting our stories and saying for us not to speak to each other," says Lindemann, who had no apprehension about going on television. Her boyfriend wasn't as easily convinced, and needed some coaxing (i.e. a fancy hotel room and a buddy to come along with him). Not only did he need coaxing to come to the show, but also coaching on what to do once there. The show believed more could be done with this story than what had happened so far. One week after interrupting their argu­ ment, the producers flew the couple to New York. Although Lindemann had often watched the show, little did she dream she would one day become a guest. A psychology major con­ centrating in human resources, Lindemann had transferred to Appalachian a year earlier and was working over the summer back home as a demonstrator for a Sam's Club Ware­ house. Jetting up to New York City for a couple of days to appear on television wasn't exac nnrr of her usual murine "I waskinrl nf wanJ part of her usual routine. "1 was kind of scare she says. "It was my first time on a plane, p 1 was also bringing a new baby." She and the young Thomas.left fro Hickory at 9 a.m. and were in their own vate limo in New York by 5 p.m. Going fro NC to NYC wasa considerable change of vein "(The city) was huge," says Lindemann, 11 drivers are so aggressive, plus you have to for your life to cross the street." She and T mas made it to their hotel room intact i rested up for the show. The next day, Lindemann picked out limo from a line of other talk show lin stretching from one end of the block to other, each with its own driver holding uptl name of a host. They then drove to the Chels Center, where a morning pilgrimage of pot tial audience members was lined up outsit Lindemann and her baby passed through curity, and then through the corridors to studio green room with all the other guest Lindemann was then briefed on her story by production assistant while another looked ter Thomas. "There was one woman go around to all the guests with their scripts,"® Lindemann. The show wanted to make si each guest knew the right things to say ffl would get the best reactions and draw in most viewers - especially Lindemann's ex-tx friend, as she would later find out. Then it was show time. Lindemann i her ex-boyfriend were the third couple on show. There was one final briefing from a pt duction assistant and then she went onsti where her ex-boyfriend was already waitu She was surprised at how small the audieo area was. "It was about like an auditoriu classroom in Raley hall," she says. After hearing the tribulations of tbe F vious two couples, including one poor exfriend who didn't even know the speW his own son's name, Lindemann was a i'! easy telling her story afterwards. I w ^ embarrassed," she says, but everything went as planned. Maury Povich asked her for the story, Lindemann said that because of relation of pressures such as the distance fact°r lege, the ordeal of pregnancy, and « boyfriend's recent side romances, t"at had not exactly been a tunnel of love- • see Povich pa9s Lindemann, Povich, her ex-boyfriend, and Lindemann's son after the s �Vppalachian 12 March 1996 vic . nd then gave his own less-incriminating version of the situation, apolo'ief r all that had happened, and expressing what appeared to be a sincere *,0 patch things up. fj% «w this as the perfect opportunity to ask him, "Isn't there some: V would like to say to (Lindemann) today?"

It turned out that the | <aS fake, had been provided by the show (along with the flowers), and continued from page 6 that the entire proposal was the show's idea. Much of the show's phone calls that week to the ex-boyfriend had involved coaxing him into proposing, as a way not only to help his image, but also to help the show. The producers ex­ plained that this sort of thing doesn't happen very often and is usually a sure­ fire ratings magnet. Needless to say, Lindemann was disappointed, but not altogether surprised. He was, after all, an gjj-boyfriend for a number of reasons. The couple were still close, however, and had fun at The Hard Rock Cafe and Planet Hollywood before returning to Hickory. The show aired several weeks later, much to the excitement of all their friends and family. Today things have settled down considerably, and Lindemann is a :gular student making rounds to daycare for Thomas and to class for herself.; te and her ex-boyfriend are trying to work together, although marriage isn' -n the plan right now (sorry, Maury). She still demonstrates at Sam's and s< . that every now and then someone will say to her, "you look so familiartt ing to remember where they saw her before.

Over spring break at the Greensboro Coliseum, the Lady Mountaineers spun a happier ending to their season, besting Marshall 77-75 to win their first league tournament in five years, Melissa Davis deflected a last second heave by Marshall's Stephanie Wine to pre­ serve the victory, just after junior Andreia Hinton made a layup for Appalachian to give her team a two-point advantage. "We wanted to run a penetration play for Stephanie," said Herd coach Sarah Evans-Moore, "but we had a breakdown on the screen and she took the only shot she could." "(This team) has done sometl .g this year," said coach Linda Robinson after guiding the Apps to her fifth tournament title in 12 years. "These last three wee<u> nave re­ ally been pressurized, and they ha '"v41" ' it beautifully." The Mountaineers' win earned them the no. 13 seed in the NCAA tournament's West Region, where they are slated to play 22-7 Ala­ bama Friday night. In a season that isn't quite finished yet, Appalachian has tied the school record for wins, stepping onto the Crimson Tide's home floor with a 24-5 mark. The Apps' 17-0 conference record (14-0 regular season, three tourney wins) sets a new standard for Southern Conference women's basketball. Andreia Hinton goes up for a shot over a Moccasin defender. Hinton scored 26 points and grabbed 13 boards, including the game winner in the two point victory over Marshall in the SC Championship game. (File photo) ASU Men's hoops end woes Mike Daniels Assistant Sports Editor In case you were looking down the NCAA tournament bracket expecting to see an Appa­ lachian State vs. Kentucky matchup, I'm sorry to say that the Apps didn't make the tourna­ ment. The Apps finished their season last Fri­ day with a loss to Western Carolina in the Southern Conference Tournament at Greens­ boro Coliseum, probably while you were in your car heading home ,or somewhere else, to begin your spring break. Before their second-round exit in the sea­ son finale, the Mountaineers did manage to accomplish something incredible; they won a David Willis Sports tditui Appalachian State's Wrestling squad gained some revenge on a disappointing 2-2 conference record and won the Southern Con­ ference Tournament on March 2 in Greensboro.

The Apps took on the Citadel in their first round game and pulled out a down-to-the wire 75-73 victory over the Bulldogs. The key to this game was the play of junior Junior Braswell. The Mountaineer point guard scored 36 points in the game to lead all scorers and almost single-handedly carried the Apps to vic­ tory. In fact, only five other Mountaineers scored in the game. Leading the way for the rest of the team was junior Jeremy Blocker with 16 points and sophomore Tige Darner with 10 points. Although technically a neutral site game, not a road game, the win was still the first vic­ tory for the Mountaineers outside of Boone this season. In the next round the Mountaineers met up with the eventual winners of the tourna­ ment, Western Carolina. The Mountaineers managed to stay somewhat close to the Cata­ mounts, but in the end, they found themselves down 74-66 with zero seconds on the clock. In this game the Apps managed to spread the scoring around. Sophomore Clint Crosston and Braswell tied for the team lead with 17 points and sophomore Kareem Livingston fin­ ished a close second with 15 points. The Mountaineers finished their season 820 overall and 3-11 in the conference. Also ending with this season is the coaching career of Tom Apke who has been with the team for ten years. Apke was fired after leading the team to its worst finish since the 1986-87 sea­ son. Disappointingly, seniors Jason Hooker and Duke Howell were not able to defend their titles from last season, both finsihing second in the tournament. Also senior Vinny Zullo finished third. Howell and Zullo sat out most of the regular season due to injuries and were not 100 percent in the tournament. Filling the final three spots for the Moun­ taineers were freshmen Martell Armstrong in the 126 lb. class finished third, Rob Daly in the 134 lb. class finished second, and Jason Brown in the 142 lb. class finished third. Appalachian's four conference champions qualified to compete in the NCAA Champion- ships on March 21-23. Jason Hooker also was invited to compete in the NCAAc, which will place five Mountaineers in wrestling's Big Dance. Hairston finished 23-11, Strobel finished 13-2, Clark finished 16-7, and Meyerson fin­ ished 27-6 on the year, however, Hooker led the team with a 30-5 record. The Mountaineers finished a disappoint­ ing 10-8 on the season, but were plagued with injuries all year. Appalachian will look to de­ fend its Southern Conference Title next year as it returns six of its ten starters and two other grapplers with a good bit of experience. Last week, Appalachian State University Athletic Director Roachel Laney announced that head men's bas­ ketball coach Tom Apke's contract which expires on June 30, will not be renewed. This announce­ ment was long over­ due. Apke, who com­ piled a 139-147 record in 10 seasons at Appa­ lachian, never led a team to a regular sea­ son championship nor to a tournament cham­ pionship. The highest the squad ever finished under Apke's tutelage was third. The fact that Apke was the second coach with the most wins in Mountaineer basketball history, stands as a testament to the kind of program Appalachian has and has had in the past. The Mountaineers have won just 17 games in the past two years and while the team is not lacking good athletes, they are lacking the leadership and determination to play to the best of their abilities night in and night out. Appalachian has shown ability to play well on occasion, such as its games this season against Marshall, St. Bonaventure and UNC-Charlotte. game with East Tennessee State. The Moun­ taineer hitting attack was in full force for this game, pounding out ten hits, but the hits did not come with runners in scoring position. ASU only chalked up one run to East Tennessee State's five, but only one of ETSU's runs was earned. Once again mistakes hurt the Moun­ taineers, who outperformed ETSU on the field, but not on the scoreboard. Scott Musgrave was the losing pitcher, dropping to 2-1 on the year. Notable hitting performances came from Brent Payton, Scott Garrett, Tommy Skul, and Chris Rodriguez, each smashing two hits apiece. The Mountaineers' woes continued on to the next contest, in which they dropped an­ other conference game to ETSU 5-4. ASU once again outhit the Buccaneers, but did not outscore them. The Mountaineers had nine hits to ETSU's six, with the main contributors being Scott Musgrave and Chris Rodriguez, who both added two each. The losing pitcher was Norman Vest, who drops to 1-1 on the year, and the loss lowered ASU's record to 5-3 over­ all and 3-2 in the Southern Conference. ASU finally ended its 3 game losing streak on March 3 by crushing ETSU 18-8 for a much needed conference win. The Mountaineers' extremely potent offense blasted out 22 hits in 48 at bats, and ASU showed ability to hit with runners in scoring position by posting 17 RBIs. The hitting attack was a fairly balanced one, with 13 different Mountaineers helping out. But Scott Garrett and Shane Owenby led the way with four hits apiece, and Scott Musgrave, Tim Puscian, and Pete Snitzer each had two hits. The winning pitcher was Jason Crews who only pitched 2.2 innings to get the win, upping his record to 1-0. Phil Falco picked up the save, striking out six out of seven to end the game. The win upped ASU's record to 4-2 in the Southern Conference. The App baseball team continued its win­ ning streak on March 5 against Wake Forest in non-conference play. The Mountaineers scored 13 runs on 12 hits, while holding the Demon Deacons to 6 runs. Jason Stuzman got the win, bettering his record to 1-0. Because Wake Forest is usually a force in the ACC, the win was important for ASU baseball in that it showed that they could play with the big boys. The Mountaineers were then 7-3 overall and still 4-2 in the conference. The Southern Conference troubles contin­ ued for the Mountaineers as they traveled to Furman and lost two straight contests to the Paladins. The double-header on March 9 saw ASU lose 6-5 in the opener and 4-1 in the night­ cap. The Mountaineers continued to hit the ball well in the opener, led by Tim Puscian and Danny Allard's two hits each, but they just couldn't pull out the win. The ASU pitching staff allowed Furman six runs on nine hits, a Grapplers win Conference ] J First team All-Tournament Se A n d Ireia • I — B 20 of her 26 p , • r e i a Hinton had m nci zo ing the second half of the conference "h ^ onship, returning from the dislocated rj she suffered early in the game.

In seven games, five of which were con­ ference contests, the Mountaineers won only two, while dropping five. ASU's first loss came on February 27th against UNC-Asheville, where the Mountain­ eers were outscored six to three. ASU actu­ ally outhit UNC-Asheville in this game, 9-6, but costly walks by the pitching staff allowed UNCA to score more times on fewer hits. The Mountaineer pitching staff gave up 10 walks, winie uiuy sii king out five, a ratio that proved to be their downfall.

NAC member and performer for the )tf jason Walls, said a powwow can be j as a "time for fellowship." Throughout the celebration, numer:s were set up in order to display Na^erican crafts and to distribute litera.ibout struggling tribes nationwide. One yljibe is the Oglala Lokota, one of the poores in the United States, which just rea funding cut of one-third. Along with craft displays, a demon;on of the Native American art of mapping was conducted by Dr. Thomas [jjyte of the Anthropology Department, capping involves the cutting of stone for , cpose of making arrowheads. Thiscus1 iras once a necessity to Native Americans, ardio set it is not widely practiced today, y Students watched as dancers from liAC enacted various dances from tribes i the United States, as drummers kept i aid chanted. The dance exhibition beliththe Grand Entrance; a procession of displaying tribal honor. The movement "chian's 0f was led by the Headman Dancer who holds a position of status within the tribe. He is also responsible for leading all other dances. Dressed in the historical clothing of differing tribes, the members performed dances such as the "Crow Hop", a northern traditional dance that imitates a bird hopping through snow. This dance is much like others in the fact that it copies the actions of animals. As another form of entertainment, a flutist demonstrated playing styles of multiple tribes. Using handmade flutes, he played four tunes, one of which was "Amazing Grace". Along with the musician, a storyteller gave a rendition of an old fable of how the flying squir­ rel and bat were created. In addition to the entertainment, a sample of Native American food, frybread, which is fried batter, was offered to visitors. Throughout the course of the evening, various Native American craft items were raffled off. One such item was a dream catcher which is believed to catch bad dreams when hung over an individual's head at night, allow­ ing them to have only pleasant sleep. Several students gave positive re­ sponses about the evening. "It took me back to a time in history that I really haven't learned much about," said senior Deana M. Sain. "It gave me a new perception of the Native Ameri­ can culture." Senior Stephanie N. Powell, a former member of the NAC, said, "I am glad to see that the Native American Council had the chance to host a powwow. I think it was well put together and was a good learning experi­ ence for people who have never experienced such an event." Brian A. Dubberly, an NAC member, said the main objective of the powwow was "to heighten the aware­ ness of Native Americans on campus." The NAC is a cam­ pus wide organization which has been in and out of ser­ vice since 1984. The main goal of the council is the pro­ motion and education of stu­ dents about Native Ameri­ cans, as well as overall multicultural relations. Currently the NAC has 25 active members and approximately 200 inactive supporters. The meetings are open to anyone inter­ ested, regardless of race or culture. The council does not have set officers, but they do have elders who are highly regarded. "Everyone has equal say," said Walls. Dancers from the Native American Council demonstrated traditional dances at a powwow hosted by the council during Diversity Week. Members of the audience were also invited to dance. {Photos by Aaron Fein) ASU professor examines pornography on the Internet Special to The Appalachian £Appalachian Office Hours: Monday- Friday SGA campaigns ready to go after Spring Break 8-5 ; Sports & Editorials 262-6233 262-3104 Renee Cagle News Editor ed»£ Brady 262-6149 In Chief Index ck* „tk w(1 Editorials.

The election will be supervised by a committee of three students with the rules committee chair, David W. Ponder, and the as­ sistant rules committee chair, M. Peyton King, serving as the election committee's chair and assistant elections chair. According to Ponder, the members of the committee are Kristy L. Hurst, who will serve as the committee's publicity coordina­ tor. Mike K. Shanus will serve as the campaign coordinator, and Ann Marvin Wright will be in charge of polling. Candidates and their campaign staff must follow certian rules during the campaign. Candidates and their staffs must use only posi­ tive campaigning methods, according to SGA's general election rules. The candidates are also not allowed within 50 feet of any polls which are open. Door to door campaigning will not be allowed in residence halls, but campaigning off-cam­ pus will be allowed if it complies with apart­ ment rules. There is no limit on the number of posters on campus, except in the student union. Candidates are only allowed to have five post­ ers in the student union, which cannot be larger than three feet by five feet. Displays are to follow the same rule. A campaign may have only one permanent display and one in­ formation table in the student union. No restrictions exist on the painting of the Rivers Street tunnels for the upcoming campaign. Each campaign is allowed to spend a certain amount of money for their campaign. According to Dino J. Dibernardi, advisor to SGA and director of the center for student in- see SGA page 2 An Appalachian State University pro­ fessor has finished two studies of pornogra­ phy on the Internet, and he found more depic­ tions of violence and rape in written than in pictorial pornography. Dr. Scot Boeringer, an assistant pro­ fessor in the Department of Sociology and So­ cial Work who specializes in criminology, said he was shocked at the unbelievable amount of violence, sex, torture, rape and murders in the stories. "We didn't expect these findings at all," he said. "We were not prepared for the level of violence and criminal behavior in the stories." Boeringer estimates that of the 200 stories, four in 10 dealt with rape and about 19 percent involved adults having sex with children. Boeringer worked on a paper on writ­ ten pornography on the Internet last year with Denna Harmon, who was a psychology stu­ dent. Harmon analyzed 200 pornographic sto­ ries which were posted on the Internet. These findings led Boeringer to study the amount of pornographic photos which can be accessed on the Internet, and in three weeks he analyzed 1,880 pictures which he said give a good overview of what kinds of pornographic pictures are available. "I focused on material aimed at a general audience, and what I found was that the material was significantly less harsh than the pornography stories," he said. "Very few of the pictures portrayed non-consensual sex, probably because rape is harder to illustrate pictorially than with words. The pictures were quite tame in comparison to the stories, and very few of them shocked me." Boeringer is still sorting through the data he compiled and will soon begin work on a second paper detailing his findings. He esti­ mates that one of every 25 pictures he ana­ lyzed involved child pornography, which is il­ legal under state and federal laws. Boeringer also found that 12 percent of the pictures depicted group sex, and most of the people in the pictures were Caucasian. A large number of the pictures came from Northern Europe, but he said the low number of ethnic images could be an indication of the large number of Caucasians who use the Internet. Research on the pictures was con­ ducted on Boeringer's home computer, and he said pulling up the pictures is effortless to people who have the right equipment and knowledge of the Internet. "Once you are logged on, it's about as easy as three clicks of a mouse," he said. "Access has been relatively unregulated until recently, but that's starting to change." Boeringer said the programs like "Surf Watch" can be installed on computers which filter databases and block access to por­ nographic pictures and stories. Otherwise, he said, minors can get access to pornographic materials on computers easily.

In it, we quoted Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs Jane Helm as saying that according to a survey done '- by business affairs, the parking deck proposed for the driving range received "overwhelming support. We should have asked the office of business affairs what they consider to be overwhelming about the numbers generated by the survey. We now have. According to the business affairs office, 8,000 surveys were sent to all students, faculty and staff who have a registered vehicle on campus. Of those 8,000,1,600 were sent to faculty and staff while 6,400 were sent to students. As of today, 843 of the 8,000 had been returned. That is a 10.5 percent return. While this return is not dismal by national standards, on a close-knit campus such as Appalachian, it cer­ tainly is not spectacular. To break it down further, 154 of the 843 surveys '< received were from students, while 689 were from *' faculty and staff. This increased return rate for fac­ ulty and staff may very well K<=> oMributed to the fact that they have access to free mail service via campus mail, while students have to pay postage to mail the survey in. if business arrairs was concerned about getting a higher return rate from students, drop boxes should have been placed in the post office. Of the 843 surveys turned in, 741 expressed sup­ port for the parking deck at the driving range. That's an 87.9 percent approval rating. Sounds good, right? Maybe if you're living in a black- and gold-tinted universe. To say that the parking deck has received over­ whelming support based on this 87.9 percent ap­ proval rating, which in essence is non-existent based on the numbers, is merely an attempt by the office of business affairs to mislead readers. One hundred fifty-four students returned their surveys. Of tfiose, 135 said they approved the park­ ing deck at the driving range. When looking at the entire student body, this 135 represents only about 1 percent. Numbers like that have no place in a statis­ tical study. In a recent letter to the editor in The Mountain Times, Appalachian anthropology professor Harvard Ayers made numerous valid points as to why a park­ ing dftck is answer.Jor Appalachian. Ayers says that "each parking spot in a deck will cost $8000 to $9000. The lower figure is without security cam­ eras that prevent rapes, assaults, robberies and typi­ cal parking deck crimes, the higher figure includes the security systems." Ayers goes on to say that with the proposed 500-space deck, that would be an ex­ pense of $4 million without the security systems, and $4.5 million with them. The survey also made mention of two other pos­ sible locations for a deck. One location mentioned was near the convocation center. If anyone expects students, faculty or staff to think this is going to help the parking problem, they should think again. Any­ one who has given this option even a cursory thought realizes that these parking spaces would be off-lim­ its to us whenever a convention, concert or sporting event were being held in the center. Those spaces would suddenly be reserved for those using the con­ vocation center at the moment. The idea of a parking deck to solve the parking problems of this campus is lacking in logic. Business affairs needs to stop trying to "get one over" on the students and faculty and start looking for more logi­ cal and cost-effective solutions. a separate American culture and then condescendingly America becomes the motherland.

The most notable casualty is Texas Senator Phil Gramm, a nice guy who tried hard. Unfortunately, he seemed to forget that voters don't want presidents who look like Kermit the Frog but aren't as interesting as the famous amphibian. Other candidates, who are inevitably headed toward certain doom, include Alan Keyes (nobody knows who he is), Bob Doman (the guy is so nuts, he could scare Joe Pesci) and Dick Lugar (do we really want a president named Dick? The jokes would just be too easy). Some candidates are even relegated to a column grouping of "Others" in the polls. So, the only men left standing include former Tennes­ see governor Lamar Alexander, billionaire Steve Forbes, political commentator Pat Buchanan, and Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole. Even as a die hard conservative Republican, I have trouble trying to get excited about this lot. Forbes, the pampered son of billionaire Malcolm Forbes, is a geek. The guy is so desperate for a cool image, he dropped the "n" from his name "Steven" in hopes of sounding hip. This trick usually fails, though there is noth­ ing wrong with the name itself. 1 think it's a great name. Still, name-twisting aside, Forbes has nothing else to offer the American public. His flat-tax plan, a brilliant and long overdue idea, is not a fresh one (Jerry Brown, among oth­ ers, brought it up a few years ago). There's also the consti­ tutional problem. The president has no control over taxes, only the House can change tax policies. In other words, Richie Rich has nothing to offer. Lamar Alexander does have a bit of hope with his grassroots idealism and those dandy flannel shirts of his. He's got the lumberjack voters in the bag. However, his Tennessee origins could prove to be a problem. With Bill 'Arkansas" Clinton, A1 "Tennessee" Gore, Newt "Georgia" Gingrich and Jesse "North Carolina" Helms, Washington may soon become the hot spot for the annual Dukes of Hazzard fan convention. We need to get some high-pow­ ered guys in Washington who live above the Mason-Dixie line, know what real Italian bread tastes like, and don't refer to their fathers as "Daddy." The surprising winner of the New Hampshire primary, Pat Buchanan, is the controversial political commentator who makes my hero, Rush Limbaugh look like the captain of the ACLU's super-liberal politically correct debate team. Buchanan, although not the demon some make him out to be, is too much of a right-winger for most Republicans. His trade and immigration plans are extreme, to say the least. I could go on about reasons why Pat shouldn't be elected, but I only have so much space. What's really scary is his combination of not knowing the lyrics to "God Bless America" and still having the nerve to sing it off-key on television. That's more than enough to can Buchanan. That leaves Dole, still considered the front-runner, J the last man standing. Many critics say he's too old J crabby to sit in the Oval Office chair, but that's malarW Age has no bearing in these matters. One might considj it a form of discrimination when people slam him fotW ing a senior citizen. Yes, he can be rather stern, but J do we want our president to be? Tom Hanks? Thni nothing wrong with having a president who might be a| of a grouch, as long as he's effective and gets the jobdoa Dole has been a senator for many years, is a warn eran and has more political experience then most caoi dates could dream of. I'm not suggesting he's our national savior, but hi the best pick right now. Pick up a copy of any newspaj and decide for yourself. Sadly, this race within the Republican party for a pra dential candidate may turn out to be a tragic bust. Insta of teaming up and bringing down Clinton together, ti candidates are only destroying themselves. By the tin this pre-race simmers down, nobody is going to car; In. any of the above candidates. Months ago, nearly everyone, including Democrat! thought that Clinton's days were numbered. However * pendulum may be swinging. As the Republicans kill eadj other with mud bombs and character assassinati Clinton remains quiet and unscathed. He is waiting tiently to destroy the sole survivor who crawls out of political war arena. If the current Republican war ues, he will do exactly that come November. As a conservative, I find this situation appalling!)" When Clinton is reelected in November, there will bt one to blame but the Republican presidential candi who put him there.

It is an enemy that attacks when you are least able to defend against it. Indeed, its breeding ground is the one place on campus you'd think of as a haven against siege. There is no protection against this insipid invader, and it's overpowering the campus at an epidemic pace. This enemy is called "Slack Infirmary Sickness." I count myself among the many I know who have grown sick of the campus infirmary's slow service, flippant attitude and method of dealing with the students in an almost assembly line manner. The first symptom of this illness comes when you step through the door to the infirmary. If you're lucky to get through the haphazard check-in process, you're then asked to wait. Well, a short wait isn't expected when the waiting room is full, but there has been more than one occasion when 1 have had to wait 15 to 20 minutes for service when the waiting room was completely empty. Indeed, there have been times when a couple of nurses have stood talk­ ing to one another instead of pulling my chart out of the little basket and getting me started. After you are recognized as being there, and the nurse asks you what's wrong, you're then told to wait some more. Nurse: "So, what seems to be the problem?" Joe Cholera: "I severed an artery." (Blood spurts out and paints an Escher design on the ceiling.) Nurse: "Really?" Joe: "Yes." Nurse: "Well, please wait here. And don't bleed on the seats." Joe: "Grk!" Ahh, poor Joe. By the time one of the doctors be­ comes available, (what exactly do they do in their offices that takes up so much time?), Joe will probably have been drained completely of blood and will resemble an empty and discarded Capri-Sun, without the pseudo-metallic sheen. Once you do get to see a doctor, the speed of service improves. In fact, it improves too much. The last time I had to see a doctor, he sped in and out so fast I couldn't ed»* tell what he said, what he did, or if he M The guy could have been a Carnivorous Ri?e Newt, but he moved so fast I couldn't tell. True, this doctor was a polite Carnivorous p Wart-Newt, and I do appreciate that, but - wou n* I ould ferred thoroughness, too. And, I would like t0 see Infirma �k? Appalachian27Tebruajy 1996 Pago 5 nrirmary continued from page 4 diagnosis explained to me and the method of treatment, too. I want to get the feeling that I was a little more than just a widget on a superefficient widget assembly line. Finally, what is it with the 600 mg. of Ibuprofen ev­ eryone keeps getting? Every time I've been to the infir­ mary I've been prescribed 600 mg. of Ibuprofen, no matter if I was sick, injured or getting an update to my shot record! They give Ibuprofen for everything! "You're sick? Here's 600 mg. of Ibuprofen. That'll take care of it." "You're pregnant? Here's 600 mg. of Ibuprofen. That'll take care of it." "You're leg's been horribly mauled in a thresher ma­ chine accident in Dead Rock Canyon? Here's 600 mg. of Ibuprofen. That'll take care of it." I've been given so much Ibuprofen I think I'm devel­ oping a tolerance for it, and I don't think you're supposed to build a tolerance for it! The accuracy of the infirmary's diagnoses have, so far, been accurate and I don't have any complaints about that. I would, however, like to see an improvement on the atti­ tudes and speed of the service I have encountered. Unity continued from page 4 • the marketing of fratracide in much of the rap and movie industry. These sterotypes have only been made possible because of greedy, conscious decisions made by a fraction of blacks themselves. Americans of all races must shame this stereotypical garbage out of mainstream acceptance. I share the faith Martin Luther King had in the Ameri­ can people seeing these barriers to racial harmony and in their infinite wisdom to compassionately and quiedy call for change. When the people of the South saw for them­ selves that their elected officials would prefer to beat and jail peaceful protesters whose only desire was the sym­ bolic dignity found in the front of a bus, they recognized the injustice. When the North watched how their apathy gave hateful white bigots the moral authority to surround and spit on a little black girl in a bleached, white dress trying to get into school, they recognized the injustice. The Civil Rights Act was merely a symptom of a nation changed forever and our nation will someday see the injustice and stupidity of celebrating our diversity rather than our simi­ larities. sarah jessica parker eric schaeffer INTERNET elle macpherson s IF LUCY FILL 19 Local provider doing market research wishes to speak to interested users in the Boone local calling areas.

A sophomore international student at Appalachian, de Cerqueira says she really likes it here. "The people are really friendly, and I like the snow. It doesn't snow in Brazil." She is originally from Fortaleza in North­ eastern Brazil, and says Brazilians are quite different from the people in the United States. "It's so diverse (in Brazil); the northeastern part is really different from the south." She also says Brazilians are easy going and free spirited. "Americans are punctual, tend to have narrow circles of friends, and are con- cerned about being politically correct." Fluent in Portugese and English, de Cerqueira also speaks Spanish, which she learned while living in Mexico for more than a year before moving to North Carolina. "I took English in school in Brazil, but I did not learn anything; I really learned English here. It's like when (Americans) take Spanish in school, (in school) you never really learn any­ thing." The language barrier was the biggest dif­ ficulty that de Cerqueira had to overcome. While working at a movie theater, she would ask people if they wanted butter on their pop­ corn and they would say, "no, I don't want any water." Also, a friend of de Cerqueira's got a beagle puppy and she said, "Oh, you got a new bagel." Professors have a hard time pronounc­ ing her last name. "When they get to me they always say, 'Patricia ... I'm not even going to try. First impressions generally color our per­ ceptions of a place., and de Cerqueira's first impressions dealt with the cities. "The cities are clean and organized and the poverty is not as obvious." A business major and a member of Alpha Kappa Psi, de Cerqueria chose Appalachian because her mother is nearby in Charlotte, and Appalachian is a good business school. Also, she likes the mountains and the snow. Her fa­ ther still lives in Brazil and can not speak En­ glish, so when she talks to her father she gets to speak in Portuguese. Her last trip to Brazil was in December 1994. "When I tell students I am from Brazil they react by saying, 'oh, really neat! How do you like it here? Did you learn to speak English here?" says de Cerqueira. Her future plans are to work in a company that deals with exporting and importing with South America. This way, she can utilize her Portuguese and Spanish. "I will leave that up to God. He will lead me wherever He wishes me to go," says de Cerqueira about the future. Patricia V. de Cerqueira (right) with her mother.(Photo provided byde ri dr~ Cerqueira) crte Steve Mackay Reporter Professors can make students write 15page papers at the snap of a finger, but can they make them sing "West Side Story"show tunes in Japanese or dance like male strip­ pers? Probably not. Depending on what a student will do for extra credit. Entertainer-hypnotist Dr. Dan Holiday can make anybody, who is hip to hypnotism, do all of the above and so much more on stage in front of family, friends, co-workers and best of all, complete strangers. Practicing for about 30 years, Holiday is a registered hypnotist with the California Professional Hypnotists Association. He has served as an instructor at hypnosis seminars and lectured in university psychology classes. He has also worked as a motiva­ tional speaker and an instructor at personal development programs. About 150 Appalachian students came to see the Doc Holiday hypnotism show at Legends on Friday night. Seventeen brave volunteers from the audience allowed them­ selves to be put under Holiday's hypnotic spell for the 90-minute show. After Holiday was through hypnotizing those on stage, a handful of people from the audience were also under his spell. One hypnotized audi­ ence member denied falling under Holiday's spell, but we have the pictures to prove it. Do you think that college students are too smart and sophisticated to be hypno­ tized? Think again. According to Holiday, young adults are the easiest to hypnotize. "(They're) more opened-minded to learning and using (the) mind in creative ways. They're not as guarded and they're more readily taught how to engage in the tech­ niques of hypnosis," says Holiday. So, what exactly is hypnotism? Holi­ day explains it as an entering into the twi­ light state of consciousness, the same state of mind some one goes through while asleep. While sleeping or being hypnotized, a person enters the Alpha state, or the dream state. The volunteers act out Holiday's com­ mands as if they were asleep and dream­ ing. Holiday says no one can be hypnotized without wanting to first. "It requires a posi­ tive commitment to participate." Some people, who have not been taught the truth A hypnotized senior, Jeff D. Madar, thinks he is naked. Dr. Holiday hypnotizes volunteers from the audience. (Photos by Heidi Dull) about hypnotism, tend to call it a falsehood. However, Holiday doesn't blame naysayers, "Hypnosis is not a topic you want to teach in the educational system." Holiday says he doesn't actually hypno­ tize people, rather, they hypnotize themselves. Holiday shows the volunteers how to enter into their creative state of mind, where they act out the situations given to them. "For all sakes and purposes, tney bent. i that they're in the environment which I describe. For them, the dream is becoming real or the fantasy is becoming a fact." During the show, students on stage sung, danced like Chippendale's strippers (men only), laughed uncontrollably, rode imaginary horses, fed imaginary birds, thought they were naked and then freezing cold, and pretended they were rock stars, among other acts. Despite any apparent embarrassment, the students who were on stage enjoyed them­ selves immensely. The show-stopper of the night happened when Holiday put sophomore April B. Helton crossways on two stools, made her stiffen her Talent show 'Appalachian students show their talent at East Residence Hall's open mic night Rebecca Goodhart Reporter Appalachian students show their talents as a part of East Residence Hall's open mic night. (Photo by Rebecca Goodhart) You're walking down the stairs to rescue a candy bar from the vending machine in the lobby when you hear incredibly loud music. What is it? Has someone's stereo gone beserk and taken the television lounge hostage? No, it's nothing that drastic; it's just open mic night in East Residence Hall. Open mic night is something of a tradi­ tion in East. East Resident Assistant W Bran­ don Padgett, a senior from Gastonia in charge of the event says, "It has been going on for seven years. The responsibility is passed down from R. A. to R. A." This kind of event gives students, alumni and local talent a place to express themselves. Padgett also says "This provides an opportunity to help stop some of the stereotypes about East and show that it is one of the most talented dorms." Roughly once a month, East presents an open mic night that allows students to show­ case their talents. The open mic night isn't just for East residents, although they have priority. The opportunity is open to all stu­ dent and even local bands, but that's not all. Quite often there are poetry readings and other spoken word talents shown. At the last open mic night on Thursday body and then stood on her. When told abou her participation in the jaw-dropping act, Helton could only reply, "Are you serious? Senior Jeff D. Madar, another volunteer, sap "It was an incredible and refreshing experi­ ence. It was awesome. I feel very relaxed. Madar says he was concentrating on every­ thing Holiday said and visualized all of the images described in his mind with 100 percent i-iarity. , Junior Hannah F. Freed, who was ma to act like a famous movie star anytime heard applause, says, "You didn't really know that you were doing it. 1 mean you hjj* that you were doing it, but you really cou " control it.

(Photo by Jason Wilkinson) \AppsbomB Davidson David Willis Sports Editor The Appalachian State women's basketball team closed out its regular season riding a seven-game winning streak, beating Georgia Southern 102-94 and Tennessee-Chatta­ nooga 68-64 on the road. Appalachian State's Lady Mountaineers (14-0, 21-5 overall) finishes the season as the only women's basketball team in Southern Conference history to go undefeated in league games. The regular season crown is coach Linda Robinson's third at ASU. Andreia Hinton scored 41 points and grabbed 21 boards in Appalachian's victories last week. The junior hit 10-of22 from the field on Feb. 22 as ASU bested Georgia Southem in Statesboro. During the same game, Melissa Davis and Merideth Thompson also recorded double-doubles—Davis had 22 points and 15 rebounds, while Thompson had 14 and 10. The Apps showed their knack for starting quickly in Thursday's GSU game, shooting 56% in the first half to build a nine-point halftime advantage. Georgia Southern missed 14 of 21 three-point attempts for the game, and the Lady Eagles (7-6,14-11) fell behind early. Shannon Spencer picked the Eagles' pockets for nine steals, and collected six assists. GSU guard Rosie Arnold had eight of her team's 24 turnovers under Appalachian's defense. Despite Marysue James' 14 points and 12 rebounds in 21 minutes, GSU could only make up one point in the sec­ ond half. Junior Maaret Artosalo was the game's leading scorer two nights later, at UTC. Her 20 points, with Davis' 16 points and eight boards, helped lead ASU to a close win. The Mountaineers were outscored 34-26 in the open­ ing half. ASU hit nine of 32 shots in this span, but rebounded to shoot 50% in the second half. Artosalo and Davis com­ bined for 15-of-27 accuracy, and Appalachian pulled away late in the game for its 21st win. Appalachian State will face eighth-seed East Tennes­ see State on Wednesday, for the first round of the Southern Conference tournament. The Mountaineers beat ETSU in two close contests during the regular season: 101-92 at East Tennessee, and 83-73 in Boone on Feb. 17. ASU grapplers whip Hokies David Willis Sports Editor Jason Somerville Reporter The Appalachian State Mountaineer baseball team played a three game series at Davidson this weekend and came out com­ pletely unscathed, winning all three contests. On Saturday, the Mountaineers and Wildcats engaged in a double-header, begin­ ning at high noon. In the opener, the Moun­ taineers struck first, opening up a 3-0 lead after one inning. That lead would be one that they would never relinquish, going on to slaughter the Wildcats 16-7. In this game, Chris Rodriguez led the of­ fensive attack, going 5 for 6 with three RBI. Scott Garrett and Brian Davidson contributed with three hits, and three RBIs also. The winning pitcher was Norman Vest, who held the Wildcats to three earned runs, while striking out five to go 2-0 on the year. In the nightcap, which lasted only seven innings, the Wildcats opened up an early 2-0 lead. But ASU would come back, scoring two runs in both the fourth and fifth innings, and capping off the 9-3 win with a four run sev­ enth. The Mountaineers, as a team, had 14 hits and only two errors. The offense was fairly balanced out, but once again, Rodriguez led the effort with three hits, including a home run. Brent Payton and Shane Owenby also helped out with two hits apiece, and Garrett added four RBI. Reeves was the winning pitcher, allow­ ing three runs on three hits in 5 2/3 innings pitched. His record now goes to 2-0 also, and Appalachian State advanced to 4-0 over­ all and 2-0 in the conference. On Sunday, the third game of the series looked much like the other two. Once again the Mountaineer offense performed well, but the best performance came from pitcher Scott Musgrave. Musgrave pitched a complete game 2hitter, allowing no runs, only one walk, and struck out six. With Musgrave cruising, any amount of runs could have won the game, so the Mountaineers decided six was a good number. The hitting attack was once again fairly balanced, with eight hits coming from seven different players. Pete Snitzer had the only multi-hit game for ASU, going 2 for 5, and Garrett contributed greatly with four RBI. The final score was 6-0, and the victory put ASU at 5-0 overall and 3-0 in the conference. The Mountaineers travel to UNC Asheville this Tuesday, Feb. 27, and then con­ tinue conference play on March 2 at East Ten­ nessee State. Appalachian State's wrestling team went out of the conference for Friday night's 26-12 victory over the Hokies of Virginia Tech in Var­ sity Gym. The Mountaineers got off to a good start as sophomore Tony Hairston won the 118 lb. class 18-3 over Scott Judy. ASU led 4-0. The Hokies came back and won the next match at 126 lbs. as Donald Booth defeated freshman Martell Armstrong 12-5, but Virginia Tech would get no closer than the 4-3 score. Appalachian won the next five matches and put the meet away. Freshman standout Rob Daly won a majority decision over Jeff Montague 13-4 in the 134 lb. class. Daly im­ proved his season record to 22-10. Freshman Jason Brown also got in on the action as he defeated J eft Tatum 10-4 in the 142 lb. class. ASU now led 11-3 and they weren't done. Fresh off the injured list, senior Vinny Zullo returned to action for the first time since December 9. Zullo shook off the cobwebs to win a 5-3 decision over Dan Austin. In the 158 lb. class, sophomore Derek Strobel continues to wrestle well as he defeated Keegan Yager 10-3. Strobel's season record is now 11-2. Finishing the onslaught was senior Jason Hooker who won a very close match, 7-6, over Ryan Baker. Hooker improved to 29-4 on the year and increased ASU's lead to 20-3. The Hokies did not quit however, and won the next match at 177 lbs. as John Dattalo beat Derek Strobel presses his VMI opponent to the mat. Strobel won his match 11-2 against Virginia Tech on Friday. (Photo by Jason Wilkinson) senior Eddy Clark 11-4. Virginia Tech just did not have what it took and senior Seth Myerson nailed the coffin shut as he got his third pin of the year. Myerson pinned Luke Sylvain at the 5:51 mark and im­ proved his record to 25-6 on the year. Appalachian led 26-6. With the contest already in the bag, ASU would forfeit the heavyweight class as senior Duke Howell was fighting injuries. The Mountaineers, still plagued with in­ juries, moved their record to 10-8 and are fo­ cused on next week's Southern Conference Tournament. By winning their respective weight classes in the tournament, the wres­ tlers will advance to the NCAA Championships on March 21-23. Appalachian could send as many as six wrestlers to the Big Dance. Mountaineers continue skid Mike Daniels Assistant Sports Editor On Saturday the Appalachian State men's basketball team finished their home season in a disappointing 85-75 loss to VMI. The loss was disappointing not only be­ cause the Mountaineers blew so many opportunites to win this game, but also because it was the final home game for seniors Rob Arnold and Brian Hege. With just 28 seconds left in the game, the Apps were only down by four points with possesion of the ball. What sealed it for the Keydets was sophomore Tige Darner's three point attempt, which clanked around the rim and looked like it was going to go in but never did. VMI was able to get the rebound, take the ball downcourt for a layup, and draw an intentional foul worth two free throws. Although they never led at any point, the Apps still had plenty of chances to take con­ trol of the game. As head coach Tom Apke said after the game, "When we made runs they were able to come back with a big basket." Appalachian forced VMI into turning the ball over 22 times, while only giving the ball up 13 times themselves. Still, it seemed that every one of the Mountaineer turnovers came right when the team most needed a basket. The VMI defense also proved to be one of the strongest the Apps have seen all year. Coach Apke described how "every offensive possesion was a battle." VMI coach Bart Bellairs said in his postgame press conference that "Tom did a good job of bringing (Appalachian) back." Bellairs, known for his wild sideline antics, made his presence known throughout the contest. Af­ ter it was over he made his way into the ASU band section, which had beentaunting him all day, to shake hands with some of his fans. Appalachian was led as always by sopho­ more stand-out Kareem Livingston, who had a tough first half, but finished the game with 21 points. Other players reaching double fig­ ures in points for the Mountaineers were se­ nior Brian Hege with 13, sophomore Tige Darner with 12, junior Junior Braswell with 15, and sophomore Clint Crosston had 10. The loss drops the Mountaineers to 3-10 in the conference and 7-18 overall with one regular season game left to go at Western Caro­ lina Monday. The Apps will then prepare for the Southern Conference tournament which begins Thursday in Greensboro.

Most young would be honored to start out this way. I ivincc^„ 1 ' ' Livingston loves to play as much as he does, but he seems to be fighting an uphill battleloosing. Yes, the loosing streak the men have suf­ fered these past two years have been, for ivingston, a horror. Transferring has even crossed his mind. "This team has lost all year. People look at us as a joke. We have so much talent that it wouldn't surprise me if we won the tourna­ ment," he said. With so much talent what seems to be the problem? Livingston said he can't quite put his finger on the problem. He feels that there are many things contributing to the team's loosing streak. "We haven't been able to pull it together." Livingston feels that there are problems off the team as well as on the team. "Atten­ dance has been bad since I've been here. It's not like we're some powerhouse like Duke, but when they were in a down year their atten­ dance was still sold out." Okay, so Appalachian does not have the notoriety that Duke has, but Livingston makes the important point, "It's about people taking pride not only in their basketball team, but in their school." Though high attendance would not guar­ antee better performance, Livingston said it would certainly help. "We have a bunch of fair-weather fans." He may not have the support of the ma­ jority of the student population, but Livingston does have some fans. "My dad's prob­ ably my biggest fan. We're a lot alike in ways. One is that we hate loosing." Livingston doesn't blame all of his frus­ trations on his team. He puts blame upon him­ self. "I'm no where close to being as good as I can be. I blame that on me because I know I can do much better. I'm the most competitive person I know," he said. He also expressed his frustrations on the stigma many college athletes suffer. "For all those people that think we have it so easy be­ cause we're athletes, I have something to say. Every athlete on campus works harder in one day than a regular student. We get up at seven everyday to go to class, then spend our after­ noons at practice. It's nice that we're on schol­ arship, but it is by no means easy." Livingston has known the duties of being a student athlete for quite some time. He started playing basketball in the fourth grade at his local YMCA in Marietta, Georgia. "I didn't get serious until seventh grade. I knew I had a lot of athletic ability," said Livingston. He doubted making varsity in high school, but ended up starting his freshman year. By his senior year, Livingston was offered basket­ ball and football scholarships. "I chose bas­ ketball because my family has always been a football family so I got sick of it." The transition from high school to college basketball was no treat for him. "It's the hard­ est thing I've done. There's a higher level of intensity. The athletes are bigger, stronger; and faster." When Livingston isn't on the court or in class, he spends his time playing video games and doing his hobby, partying. The long term goals in his life incluue a degree in physical education and possibly moving back to Georgia to coach high school or college sports. "I know 111 miss playing, but I will never be far from the game." CLASSIFIEDS eajo eao hdi A* 16'] Isoi Hillside Grocery A Neighborhood Grocery] 454 B.W.

He is chairperson of the APPS Council for Cultural Awareness and student director of the Black Student As­ sociation gospel choir. Little is also a member of the Black Student Association (BSA) advisory board and is chairperson of the scholarship/education committee on the advisory board. He is a peer mentor for the office of African-American stu­ dent development and a fellow in the W. H. Plemmons leadership program. Little said he wants to continue the trend that has beeen established by the cur­ rent SGA in regards to the student's voice. "I want to ensure the student body will have a voice in campus issues," said Little. Nakia Hardy, the vice-presidential candidate, is a junior from Burlington. She is a secondary education chemistry major with a concentration in physics. Hardy is co-chair of the BSA advisory board. She is also the secretary of the APPS Council for Cultural Awareness and is chair of the programming committee for the council. Hardy is the historian of the national panhellenic council and an Appalachian am­ bassador. She is a peer mentor in the African-American student development program and is in the W.H. Plemmons leadership program. She is also a member of the BSA choir and ot Delta Sigma Theta sorority. Hardy said she feels she has the ex­ perience and leadership abilities to be vicepresident of SGA. "I know I have the ability to make a difference," said Hardy Campaigns for SGA president and vice-president officially begin March 11. Fernando Little and Nakia Hardy announced Tuesday they will be running for SGA President and Vice-President.

(Photo provided by Kaye Cranford) Vandalism reports remain same Brad Wilkinson reporter Even though vandals have left their mark on several campus locations lately, di­ rector of campus safety and security Roy Tugman says this does not indicate a rise in vandalism incidents for the campus. Several locations have been hit, one l of which is Thelma C. Raley Hall. A spraypainted peace symbol adorns the brick facade facing Chapell Wilson. Such painting episodes nave also occurred on the walls of Belk Library, as well as many sidewalks. The painting of school property is not tlte only display of vandalism. Physical dam­ age to signs and other campus property is an­ other form of vandalism on campus. "There has been no proliferation of vandalism this year," said Tugman. Police re: ports for January show that property damage numbers have neither increased nor decreased from those of December. There were 10 cases :n each month. For the entire year of 1995, •he number of cases totaled 196. Tugman said penalties for offenders vary for each situation. Most of the cases are taken to student court, however if the act is found to inflict malicious damage it can be taken to the state court system. Tugman cites residence hall pro­ grams as being the main factor in keeping the growth of vandalism to a minimum across cam­ pus. He believes the programs offered by the halls, as well as the emphasis on each student playing an active role in the care of campus property, has been proven to be a positive ac­ tion. With evidence of defaced property still remaining on buildings and sidewalks, clean-up efforts will soon be underway. "We do have a work order to sandblast, but we are waiting for a dry-out," said Dr. Clyde D. Robbins, director of the physical plant. "Sand­ blasting can damage the mortar of buildings with wet surfaces." While the crews of the physical plant wait for the weather to clear, they are focus­ ing on other tasks which are in need of atten­ tion. However, Robbins said clean-up wiil be taken care of as soon as possible. News Editor In Tuesday's Student Government Association (SGA) meeting, President Darby E. Weaver said SGA is not reaching out to in­ form students and hear their concerns. "We heard time and time again in discussions that SGA was just not reaching out to the student population." said Weaver. Forty people showed up at the "Student Voice" forum and most came because of word of mouth, she said. 'They were there because they were fortunate to have a friend that knew about it (the forum)," said Weaver. Weaver suggested SGA use different mediums, such as a home page on the Internet and using different locations, to reach the gen­ eral student population. "These things are all possible, but it will take more time," she said. Weaver also said senators were not communicating with the students they repre­ sent and it was reflected in the surveys passed out at the "Student Voice" forum. One question from the survey was: Have you ever been contacted by a senator about your opinion? Weaver said 15 answered no, while only five said yes. 'That gives us the hard brass fact of what we are doing and how much more we need to do," she said. Another issue which has come up from the forums is the need for administra­ tion to involve students earlier in discussions. "I had to make a decision about stu­ dent fees in a matter of two days," Weaver said. She also said SGA is not involved in the making of policies and are only asked to make decisions. Weaver said this makes SGA more of a council than a body of government. Students have expressed the need for more referendums. The new search and seizure policy should come to a referendum. "It only takes 10 percent of the student popu­ lation to call a referendum," said Weaver. Weaver ended by saying a good cross-section of students attended the forum. "We are making an impact," she said. Students approve parking deck hi Holston Reporter The office of business affairs reported 'hut out of 8,000 surveys sent out to students "id faculty last month concerning a new park"8 deck, less than 800 were returned. The survey was sent out to everyone 0 a registered vehicle on campus. The *Jrvey concerned the proposal of a parking ^ at the driving range outside of Thelma C. Hall. Students and faculty were asked ether or not they supported the idea of a Parking deck. . Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs 3ne Helm said the idea of a parking deck reJ overwhelming support."

TVvo other on-campus sites were con­ sidered as possibilities for the location of the parking deck. One was the site of the future Academic Convocation Center, which will be built on Rivers Street across from the steam plant. According to Helm, the only problem with this proposed location for the parking deck would be that it would be used as park­ ing for special conventions and not primarily for students and faculty. The other location is the current site of the tennis courts on Rivers Street, but flood­ ing could pose a problem for that location. Despite the lack of response to the survey, the majority of the surveys supported the idea of the parking deck outside of Raley Hall. Helm felt there will be a deck built, and that the deck will greatly improve the parking situation on campus. Index Page 4... Editorials. Free to kick the bucket. Page 5... Letters to the Editor.

(Photo by Renee Cagle) Gantt speaks to students about platform Del Holston Reporter Balancing the federal budget, main­ taining a clean environment, and dealing with "kitchen table issues" were among the issues Harvey Gantt stressed for his upcoming sen­ ate campaign during his speech Feb. 20 at Rosen Concert Hall. Gantt, who is an architect as well as the former mayor of Charlotte, has traveled across North Carolina talking to different com­ munities and organizations about his views for the future. "The people in this state deserve bet­ ter," said Gantt. Balancing the budget is a big issue for Gantt. He said to balance the budget you should not have to raise taxes, but reduce spending. Gantt also supports a smaller, more efficient government. Gantt said the environment was an issue of major importance as well. He said industrial development should not interfere with air and water. "There should be a balance between economic progression and the environment," Gantt said. He said the problems facing the na­ tion are important, but he feels "kitchen table issues" are the most important. Kitchen table issues, in Gantt's opin­ ion, are what the family talks about at dinner. These include issues such as employment, edu­ cation, and the environment. Ending the rise of the interest rates on college tuition and making health care tax deductible are other views Gantt holds. He also believes the welfare system should be used as a system of reform and not a way of life. He said he would give 200 percent this year if the people of North Carolina would give him 150 percent. Thomas Flippin, a junior at Appala­ chian and president of the College Democrats, was impressed by Gantt and feels he will do well in the upcoming primary election. "We need to educate the voters," said Flippin. "We need to get the campus more in­ volved." Appalachian is published with support from Appalachian's Center for Student Involvement and Leadership.

Other panelists were Dr. Clinton Parker, Dr. Jim Smith, Dr. Billy Taylor and students Katie Godfrey, Michael Hagerty and Ron Gilliam. Among the issues discussed at the forum were the handling of the hate speech in the Rivers Street tunnels, integrating clubs and organizations, the Chancellor's Diversity Report and racial harmony at Appalachian. Students and some of the panelists felt the university moved slowly in trying to find the suspects in the tunnel case. Many students also felt diversity could not be accomplished with so many clubs, such as B-Glad, BSA and the Native American council. Students expressed a need to bring these groups together. Dr. Taylor said it should be about' getting to know all types of people. Hagerty said he did not support the way the Diversity Report was accepted. He felt the students were not informed about the Diversity Report. The. next forum of Appalachian 2000 will be Feb. 26 in the Pub. The subject will be transportation and parking.

Blimling will be given the award on March 8, at the annual meeting of the American College Per­ sonnel Association in Baltimore, Md. Greenleaf chaired the graduate program in college student affairs administration at Indiana Uni­ versity and was nationally known in the field of higher education. Greenleaf passed away in 1980, and Indiana University created an award in her name to honor alumni of the graduate program in student affairs administration who exhibit "sincere commitment, profes­ sional leadership, and personal warmth characteristic of the distin­ guished mentor for whom the award is named." f f 9 » f 9 » < • * » f » » f f • • 9 » * Watauga County wants more AIDS education 9 9 9 9 9 u _• , • TT35 Feb 23 & 24 at 700 & 900 Feb 25 at 500 A survey conducted by Ap­ palachian State University students shows that Watauga County residents feel they are fairly well educated about AIDS but still want more AIDS education. A public opinion class con­ ducted the random telephone survey late last year in conjunction with the Mountain AIDS Support Council (MASC). The students asked 206 Wa­ tauga County residents 27 questions about AIDS. Thirty-seven percent said they knew a lot about AIDS and 41 percent said they knew some about AIDS. Forty-four percent said there is not enough AIDS coverage on tele­ vision, radio and newspapers. Most of the local residents polled do not consider AIDS a prob­ lem in Boone. There are 61,000 re­ ported AIDS cases statewide. There are seven AIDS cases in Watauga County, but the Appalachian District Health Department cautions that there could be many more cases that have not been reported. The seven Paperless tax returns reported cases are permanent resi­ dents of Watauga County. MASC is forming The MASC Troupe, a new volunteer group, to visit local schools and civic organizations. MASC holds a volunteer workshop at First Baptist Church ev­ ery Thursday for students wanting to talk about AIDS or help MASC with its fund raising and clerical work. The students also plan for the annual World AIDS Day commemoration and other events. For more information about MASC and its services, call 265-4494.

HllPllll A N T C if •• �Page 4 ials The ian Fairness. Accuracy and Public Service since 1936 Our opinion... | The fight to save The Knob is still here Well folks, it's back. What, you might ask. Why the tight to save the local landmark known as Howard's Knob. And while some of you may be groaning and some may be cheering, let's take a closer look at this campaign before comparisons are drawn. The last attempt to save the Knob included a student referendum to pay for the property by increasing student fees by $20 per year. This controversial issue kept our campus buzzing an entire semester with pro and con sides using sidewalks and hallways as battle grounds and stu­ dents as soldiers in the fight. While this referendum was lauded by many, booed.by others, it was ultimately unsuc­ cessful. And though many thought the fight to save the Knob ended when the referendum died, that has proven not the be the case. On Feb. 15, the Howard's Knob Community Board announced its campaign to buy more than 300 acres of land on the mountain known as Howard's Knob (Howard Knob, to the geographically correct) on which to build a park, thereby preserving the landmark. But, while the goal is the same, the only thing this campaign has in common with the last is some of the people involved. Hunter Schofield, ASU alumni and Boone Town Coun­ cil member, was the most prominent figure in last year's campaign, and is once again a key figure in this most re­ cent bid to save the land. But Schofield himself called this campaign a much more "conservative" effort. Indeed, if one looks at the other members of the board, you will see a group including some of the townis most respected citi­ zens. Bankers, lawyers, doctors, accountants, architects, our own Student Body president and many business-own­ ers comprise this Community Board. Other returning players are Joey Henson, co-founder of the Watauga High Country Land Trust, now know sim­ ply as the Watauga Land Trust, and Darby Weaver, Stu­ dent Body president, who was a supporter of the ACES proposal. Students are also involved. The Watauga Land Trust Census Board is comprised completely of students, with the exception of Joey Henson and Hunter Schofield. The Census Board is planning the benefit dinner March 16, which will be the kickoff of the campaign. The Community Board's plan is so simple, it's beauti­ ful: raise money from donations from the community and use pledges and grants. Once money has been raised, work with the people who currently own the land tracts to pur­ chase that land. The land is divided into tiers one, two and three, with the first tier being the most valuable to the group, as well as most likely being the most expensive. According to Community Board Chairperson Tom Foxx, all the major landowners have been contacted about the proposal and none are opposed to the goal of the board. However, if all the tracts cannot be purchased, the park is still feasible. The Community Board realizes the plan will take several years, but hopes to have all the land purchased within two years. After that, it is simply a matter of time before the park is planned and constructed. While many saw last year's campaign as an all-ornothing proposition, the Community Board has shown themselves to be more flexible without compromising on their goals. Whether the board has all the land or not, the park will still be created. Last year's proposal seemed also to be marked with a "we want it our way and we want it now" attitude. However, this board has shown they can accomplish the same goal using many different options. The determination of the Board is admirable. Couple that determination with a willingness to be flexible in their plans, and the Board is sure to accomplish their goal. While the park may be several years in the future, it will surely be there, thanks to hard work and perseverance. The staff of The Appalachian wishes the best of luck to the Community Board in their fight to save the local landmark. Future students of Appalachian will have the peak to visit year-round where they can hike, climb and study nature in its purest form.

Sev­ enty percent were never asked their preference. Some quick math shows that of the 9,000 patients in the study, only 1,323 were allowed control over their own life or death. Doctors have lost touch with their true duties of "care." As Dr. Sherwin Nuland said reflecting on a patient who wished to go ahead and die, but he talked into trying one more surgery, "1 had won out over [the ulcer] but lost the greater battle of humane care." The patient he felt so obligated to save was 92 years old and had asked to not have the surgery because she had outlived her friends and relatives, and she felt she had sim­ ply lived long enough. The surgery was for an exploded digestive tract which put her odds of surviving at one in three. She died 10 days after the surgery. But not only the old are being kept from their wishes of taking all parts of life, including dying, with grace and dignity. Right now, due to state and federal court rulings, people do not have the right to die. The most victimless crime, suicide, has been made illegal even in cases when life should truly be over. Obviously, we are incapable of realizing our own life's limitations at the ultimate level. There are, of course, living wills, power of attorney, hospice care and other routes which are already supposed to allow a patient the right to die, but that does not always end up being the case. In fact, a large majority of the Americans with living wills ended up dying alone, in in­ Asst Sports Editor David Wainer Chief Copy Editor Editorial Department 262-6233 or 262-3104 Advertising Department 262-2157 Production Department 262-6256 tensive care and in pain, denied their wishes. today, after all, people live with M.S., and milli0ns u The Jack Kevorkian (Dr. Death) trial is beginning this arthritis.

Risk should not negate compassion Vanessa Urruela Editorials Editor First there was hoopla about basketball great Magic Johnson, then Olympic diver Greg Louganis, and now the controversy is centered around boxer Tommy Morrison and the estimated 1,049 military personnel known to have HIV or AIDS. Recently, there has been much discussion about whether or not people with HIV or AIDS should be allowed to work in fields like professional sports and the military. People need to realize that the way a person contracts this disease should not determine how they are judged or what they are allowed to do. Does it really make Johnson a better person than Louganis because he got the virus through unprotected, heterosexual promiscuity instead of the same risky behavior through homosexual intercourse? No. The point is that both have a disease and pose ex­ tremely little risk to their teammates. We should be com­ passionate enough to leave moral judgments to whatever higher power one believes in and let these athletes do what they do best in the sports arena. According to a recent National Public Radio(NPR) re­ port, a football player has about a one in 85 million chance of contracting HIV from an HIV- positive teammate or op­ ponent during a normal football game. In boxing, the sport Tommy Morrison has now been banned from, the risk is slightly higher because the athletes aren't as covered up as football players and the direct skin-to-skin contact is greater. The estimated risk of contraction is slightly lower than one in 80 million during an average boxing match. Is it really worth this infinitesimal risk to ban some­ one who loves their work but has a disease from boxing, swimming, or playing basketball? Doing so means we are giving in to unnecessary fear. It is perfecdy natural for any animal to care more about their own individual survival than that of another. How­ ever, humans have evolved to have a highly developed sense of conscience, and I cannot understand how some of us still let fear and ignorance rule this part of our psyche. What people can't see is that contracting HIV from an infected person through casual contact almost never hap­ pens. As of about a week ago, military personnel with AIDS cannot be denied employment due to Clinton's veto of Sena­ tor Dornan's bill. I can't understand why Dornan would truly believe that HIV-positive soldiers should be dis­ charged without the same benefits received by those who have illnesses like cancer. Just like cancer, people with AIDS don't ask to have a fatal disease. In times of combat, couldn't all those HIV-positive sol­ diers work in areas of the military which don't involve them actually fighting? What about intelligence or some kind of communications job? The risk of spreading the disease through this kind of work wouldn't be high enough to worry about. In the NPR report I listened to, a leading AIDS re­ searcher quoted several studies saying the risk of a see Risk page 5 College is more than just academic Erica Everett Columnist I have been struck recently with a feeling of over­ whelming thankfulness for the friends that I have in my life. During some special moments when an inside joke is shared or a new memory is made I am able to realize how important some people in my life are. There is nothing like a long-time friend that knows your past and laughs with you. You remember the good 'ole days when The Dukes of Hazzard came on everyday, when multi-colored plastic bangle bracelets were all the rage, and when members of the opposite sex were just some odd mutation of a human to be avoided at all costs. Those times were easy and fun. They are not to be for gotten. The days that followed may have been the time when lasting friendships formed. It was an awkward stage when guys and girls stood on opposite sides of the gym for school dances, when everyone had braces, girls wore itty-bitty bras and guys had hands and feet that were way too big for their bodies. At a time when pimples replaced pig tails, only true friends would stick by you. True friends stayed up all night playing truth or dare at slumber par­ ties. Those times were for change and growth. During this time, our bodies, our minds and our lives were shaped For most, the days that followed were times for first dates and first kisses.

Satisfaction is death.' —George Bernard Shaw The other day I was driving around on Rivers Street looking for a parking space, occasionally pretending I was Speed Racer and avoiding the larger potholes. There are certainly a ton of issues at this school. The new Search and Seizure Policy, though amazingly effec­ tive in action, still bothers me concerning privacy and the speed at which it was set up. Perhaps a few brave soldiers are trying to protest Wal-Mart, though I suspect it is a lost cause. Construction continues, and traffic is always an issue. Though I believe the best place for a parking deck is another school, there is still the issue of exactly what part of campus we wish to burden with this colossus. I decided I would take it up with one of my underpaid professors, and we had an interesting discussion on the manner. He told me that I need not worry about these things so much, as he was sure Dr. Blimling would handle them. But what about Chancellor Borkowski I ask? The profes­ sor informed me that Dr. Borkowski isn't actually away; just merely pushing for a bigger cause - diversity. I can see how this would be an insanely enormous task. First, we have to decide exactly what diversity means. I suspect it means incorporating a larger group of minority students and ensuring that they are made to feel welcome (which I can hope every university is trying to do). Diversity is a broad enough term to cover almost any difference in people. I suppose I take the strive for diver­ sity somewhat for granted. I assume every university strives for this, and that it is almost universally looked upon as a good thing for a university to be. How long has it been since a state-funded university tried to decrease diversity? The subject is important, but when pushed so far to the forefront, it looks distorted for some reason. Residence life has always been militantly in facor < diversity, which I can understand as important to the stal I have heard Borkowski speak several times, and to m professor's credit, diversity has always been the big top'1 I said diversity looked odd when pushed so close to th see Diversity page �.i-rhi,n 22 February 1996 Page 5 otters to the Editor College j^tax^not the answer L£dit°r: r reading John Nolte's column on the flat tax " Che Ffeb. 13 Appalachian, I almost rolled out of Z ncrhing at the blatant hypocrisy demonstrated jj;laugn s . non informative slam-fest upon liberals.

An increase in the budget deficit is no more than an inability of the government to do what we do everyday- spend only the money that we have. That blame cannot only he put on the Democratic congress of the time, but must also be placed upon the president who signed and thereby agreed to the budget. Any trade deficit problems are less the fault of government and more the fault of businesses who are really only sending their products to where they can be sold at a better profit. So Nolte can go right ahead to say that the flat tax will stimulate the economy, while none of the proposed flat taxes will actually do so. He can go on and say that Reagan managed a lower deficit than Clinton, while he fails to mention the general failure of Reaganomics which affects us even today. He may even go so far, as he has in the past, to blame liberals for America's woes, but turn a shy eye to the blunders of his own political alignment. Nolte can accuse liberals, like myself, of being the tellers of half-truths, while synthesizing his own while I just sit, read the newspapers, remain informed on the whole truth and laugh at his hypocrisy. then we get to another interesting half-truth. It -seem that Mr. Nolte tried to link the Democrat's -case in 1990 to the deficit's increase. By the way, Eugene L.

So few people in this world live up to their true po­ tential that I can't see why we'd limit more of them just because infinitesimal risks scare the hell out of us. Get over it. Educate yourself. If you want to let fear rule vour life, then limit it to that. We shouldn't dictate what others do, especially when the risk of their behavior affecting you is so low it's nearly impossible. I suggest the people who are blinded by their igno­ rance and fear help themselves out and reduce the spread of HIV through safer sex and not participating in risky be­ haviors. No matter how irresponsible a person is, nobody asks to contract a fatal illness. When someone does, hu­ man compassion should rule out fear. messy room. Those were the days when we became indi­ viduals. There are people who have come and gone in my life. Even as I spent time with them, I knew our relationship would not last. A few months apart and I would forget their name and maybe even the little bit of time we did spend together. But I am convinced that everyone I meet leaves their footprint on my heart. At this precious time when my mind is being shaped into what will lead me down the rest of life's path, I know people and events im­ pact me. That is exactly how I want it. I want to be vul­ nerable enough to open myself up to others ideas and ex­ periences. I want to know people and I want them to know me.

I never talked to a student or staff member against it, so people don't need to be convinced of its im­ portance. Residence life pushes for acceptance in the resi­ dence halls, which is important if diversity is somehow going to be increased. But how diverse is Boone? And what can Borkowski change about that? How does one up the diversity? I can understand diversity as important, but the term is some­ thing of an abstract. I have always recognized the inher­ ent safety of the topic, because almost no one is against it, yet if the effort fails then no one gets blamed, because how does one go about doing it, anyway? Perhaps a draft forcing students who are different to attend a university, thereby balancing out the normal ho­ mogenous kids who ruin education, could be enacted.

Working with friends automati­ tre 'ooking Remember all the buzz around the opening of Appalachian's computer store? Remem­ ber all the talk of incredible discounts on hardware, software, and package deals? Well, it is happening. "Response has been positive from the word 'go'," says Rick Nicholson, general manager of the university bookstore. Located on the second floor, the computer store has been doing an ever-increasing business since opening in October. "It wasn't this busy at first," says store clerk Sandy M. Miller. Business has grown so much that the Bookstore has more than doubled the computer store staff to meet the demand. The biggest reason for such interest has been the sizable discounts on all software and Apple computers. When a student buys a certain package (printer, monitor and keyboard the basics), Apple offers rebates on already discounted merchandise. Because of an arrange­ ment with the administration and the Apple corporation, there is practically no mark-up in the process. And this was the goal from the beginning, according to Nicholson. "This makes (the store) almost like a service. Every dollar goes back into support ser­ vices and inventory," says Nicholson. These support services, such as technical support ("How do I tum this thing on?") and product information ("Computers? You have computers here?") are another reason for the store's success. "The technical support that comes with the store is amazing," says Lee A. Williamson, a senior from Raleigh who works at the store. Willamson says that students come into the store already versed in computers, while some are still learning as they areshopping around. "Some people are more familiar with the software, and for those that aren't, they can see a demo of the differences between what is available." These differences include specifications of memory, printer quality, software compatibility, and more. Although Apple is the main software at the store because of the discounts, the future inventory will hold still more, including more DOS-oriented systems. There is already some file-exchange software available noVv (that can read both IBM and Macintosh material), and according to Nicholson, an arrangement with IBM is in the works. "But what does all this mean?" you may ask. "What is a DOS? Do I need to talk to Meg Ram so she can tell me about her memory?" Well, not exactly, although a bit of pre-planning and research is helpful, according to Williamson. 'Talk to users of what you're interested in. See if they would have gotten anything different and why." Williamson also recommends checking out computer magazines, but says to be sure to separate the propaganda from the information. "Or you could come in and talk to us," he says. To qualify for the discounts of the store, customers must be students, faculty, or staff. A cosigner with a minimum yearly salary of $15,000 is also required for payment plans. Appalachian's computer store was designed to be user-friendly, and still more is being done, including a cover letter to faculty which is being sent out this week to hear sugges­ tions. "We want to hear from students, faculty and staff to find out what they want," says Nicholson. Appalachian students Stuart Powers, Joey Whiteside and Mark Dolister enjoy playing guitar together. (Photo Bethany Parrish) cally eliminates the comparability factor. You must have something in common to be friends in the first place, so build on that common interest as an aspect of the music. The use of friendship as a basis for a band is common among musicians. Fresh­ man Asa A. Gregory from Wilson, who is in the process of forming a band, knows this first-hand. All of the bands he has been a part of formed out of existing friendships. In fact, the only band he played in that wasn't amongst his friends ended with his leaving shortly after joining. Gregory suggests getting to know each other before you ever play together, if you don't already know the people prior to get­ ting a band going. He also says that it's best just to let things happen naturally. "It's kind of like love: you don't go looking for it," says Gregory. "It just sort of falls on you." Chip Taylor, of the local band Sticky, has been through the forming, writing and performing aspects of being in a band. He recommends the same method as Gregory: going with friends. Taylor also condemns the belief that diverse musical tastes among sepa­ rate members of a band create a unique, qual­ ity sound. He says it only complicates things. "If you're writing pop songs, you need guys who like pop music." The one drawback to being in a band with friends, according to Taylor, is that the tension that naturally exists among bandmates can push the limits of buddydom. "It'll test a friendship," he says. He also says that the excessive amount of time a band must spend together practicing, writing, travelling and performing can be detrimental to both the quality of the band and the friendships. The one pain of looking for a band is the time it takes to get things going. If you're still looking, it seems like it'll be forever until you find people to play with. If you're al­ ready in a band, it sometimes looks like the world will end before you get a gig. Keep in mind that it's a slow process: you won't be­ come the Beatles overnight. Even they couldn't do that. t REGISTER HERE TO mam 3 *1 ym Icszxs to foi ma 1 Performs (File photo) �Page 8 The Appalachian 22 RoKni CD Review ^yi9r; ANTiSEEN, mmrnmMMe "Equus • stirs emotions Matt Russ Reporter representative of their punk roots and hard-core leanings, showing their ten­ dency to have short flurries of energy Staff Writer for songs rather than extended, bor­ ing arrangements.

The fire from a lighter and the smooth tone of Peter Finnegan broke in, setting the mood for an emotionally mysterious performance. "Equus," a play by Peter Shaffer, is being put on by the Department of Theatre and Dance in Valborg The­ ater. Directed by Susan S. Cole and per­ formed by a cast loaded with mem­ bers of the National Dramatics Honor Society, "Equus" leaves you with a new perspective on human emotions. The tale of a disturbed boy and a psychiatrist (played by Finnegan) who is troubled in his own right, is unraveled through wonderfully pas­ sionate performances by Finnegan and Christopher Graham. Graham plays the part of Alan Strang, who struggles with a religion which has overcome him; a religion strikingly similar to Christianity, which he has created. The audience learns in the begin­ ning that Alan has blinded six horses and is subsequendy sent to Martin Dysart, the psychiatrist played by Finnegan, for psychiatric evaluation. It is here that the story unfolds. Dysart struggles with discovering the reasoning behind Alan's actions. As Alan slowly reveals more and more of his thoughts and feelings to his new doctor, Dysart begins to real­ ize that Alan may not be as irrational as everyone thinks he is. As Dysart delves deeper into the emotional struggles binding Alan, he begins to discover prevalent emo­ tional struggles of his own. Beautiful supporting roles pro­ vided by Kathryn McAuliffe, who plays Alan's mother, and Jan Thrasher, an acquaintance and at­ tempted lover of Alan, add to the emotional passion and intensity that were revealed. ence to be taken back in Ume The setting remains constant and appropriate musical accomnan ,1 characters not in the current scene are gets your heart racing, ^*1 present in the shadows, providing an you feel the passion and pain ominous elecharart»~ v ment to the at­ ,.

The Lady Apps' fifth straight win, also their seventh victory of an eight-game home stretch, keeps ASU's Southern Conference record un­ blemished at 12-0. Hinton had six of Appalachian's 15 points in the extra period. As Marshall led 78-76 with two minutes remaining in overtime, she scored from close range, setting up a three-pointer from Shannon Spencer at the :56 mark, which gave Appalachian an 81-80 advantage. Merideth Thompson, who scored four points in overtime, put ASU (19-5) ahead for the last time with 30 seconds left. Marshall's Cindy McCauley kept her team close late in the second half, and gave the Herd a 68-65 lead. Seven of McCauley's 14 secondhalf points came during a three-minute period of the second. Hinton, playing in foul trouble, tied the game from the free throw line at 68 with one minute left in regulation. She gave the Mountaineers a 70-68 advantage that was erased when, with two seconds on the clock, Lisa Mason knotted the contest for the seventh time. Davis led all scorers with 18 first-half points, on her way to 24, and grabbed a season-high 14 boards. Her effort in the early minutes helped Appalachian extend to an 18-5 lead before Marshall came alive. The Herd outscored Appalachian 10-1 to close the first half, taking a slim four-point lead into the dressing room. Marshall missed 17 of 21 three-point attempts on Monday, shooting 39 percent for the game. Despite her game-high 25 points, McCauley didn't hit a trey in five tries. Krishna Behnfield had 22 points and 10 rebounds for Marshall, which is battling for second place in the conference. Behnfield hit five of six from the line, where the Thundering Herd shot 71 percent. Appalachian pays a visit to Statesboro, Georgia, to play Georgia Southern Thursday night, and closes out the regular season Saturday at Tennessee-Chattanooga.

Unfourtunately, the Apps were beaten badly in the first half and consequently lost the game 80-66 Monday night. Playing in usual form, the Mountaineers came out playing sloppy early on. The team allowed the Mocs a quick nine-point run while their own offense got warmed up. The Apps found themselves again trying to play catch­ up in the first half, but to no avail. In the second half the Apps started to put the pressure on the visitors. The team had some success in forcing UTC to turn the ball over, which allowed the Mountaineer offense to string together some points. However, the thing that killed almost ev­ ery ASU run was their poor free-throw shoot­ ing. Coach Tom Apke said after the game that this "was probably the deciding factor in the game." The Mountaineers were 10 of 18 (55 percent), from behind the charity stripe in the Kareem Livingston takes the ball to the hoop over a Moccasin defender Monday evening. Livingston finished with 14 in the loss. (Photo by Dana Gardner) Mountaineer second half. The closest the Mountaineers got to the Mocs was nine points down with seven minutes to go. But less than three minutes later, ASU found itself down by 18, a little to far out of reach for the Moun­ taineers offense to overcome so late in the game. Appalachian did do a good job of spreading the offense around. Five Ap­ palachian players scored 10 or more points. Leading the way was sophomore Kareem Livingston who had 14 points along with seven rebounds. The other players to reach double figures in points were senior Brian Hege, junior Junior Braswell, sophomore Tige Darner, and freshman Blair Adderly.

Southern I Conference \ j Championships| �^ruary 1996 Sll Baseball team Appalachian signs 13 football recruits — *—. .A • ' Appalachian State University head foot­ ball coach Jerry Moore has announced the sign­ ing of 13 players to national letters-of-intent. Moore said this year's recruiting class was another of very high quality in terms of cali­ ber of both athlete and student. "We have been so very selective the last two years in particular, due to the fact we have not had very many grants available," said Moore, in his eighth season as head coach. "We are so pleased to welcome these young men into our program, and we know they are go­ ing to have a tremendous impact over the next few seasons." Moore said these incoming players filled immediate needs and most would be ready to step into positions next season. In addition, Moore said he was pleased to have brought in Signee Desmond Adams Matt Alspaugh L.J.

Two batters later, Garrett singled in two more runs, followed by Kenny Osborne's three run shot to right to end the onslaught. The Spartans retaliated with two runs in the bottom of the ninth, but it was too little too late as ASU won 13-3. On the mound for the Apps were starter Scott Musigrave who went five innings, giving up one run on four hits, but walked five. In relief of Musgrave was Norman Vest who fin­ ished the game, allowing two runs on five hits. Offensively for Appalachian, Puscian led the way, hitting 4-5 and Payton and Garrett each went 3-5.

"The challenge of the university is to actively interest the students," said Dibernardi. E. Clifton Williams, off-campus SGA senator, said, "There is a big difference between interest and involvement." Dr. Gregory S. Blinding, vice chancel­ lor for student development, said when the food consultants were on campus, forums were held and the participation was so low they had to go directly to food services to get ideas and comments from students. According to Edmundo A. Echeverria, academic affairs chairperson for SGA, the is­ sue is apathy. "It is not a natural state of be­ ing," he said. However, Blimling said, "I would not describe the overall student at Appalachian as apathetic. We (the office of student develop­ ment) have tried to solicit more student in­ put." Blimling said Appalachian tries to encourage student development through sur­ veys. Steele said it's very important to gather this input. "We have to be thinking of how to encourage people to participate." One decision students do not feel they were a pan of was the search and seizure policy.

"It's awful," said Martin Cross, a se­ tt from Lake City, Fla. "Since I live off cam­ ps, I have to commute to college every day. SS? <rn•<&;*<a* I have no choice but to drive on Rivers Street. Street, It's such a mess." According to North Carolina Depart­ ment of Transportation crew chief Jerry Combs, Rivers Street has already been tempo­ rarily patched several times with a substance known as "cold patch." Cold patch is a special kind of asphalt specially engineered for cold weather use. Regular asphalt, which must be brought up from Greensboro, needs to remain at tempera­ tures of 400-500 degrees before it can be poured onto the roads. During the winter months, most asphalt plants cease production due to the impossibility of the asphalt to re­ main hot during delivery. According to Combs, cold patch works best when it remains dry. When cold patch gets wet, it crumbles and breaks, cover­ ing the road in loose gravel and reopening old potholes. "It's a tough situation for us to handle," said Combs. We've already coldpatched Rivers Street three times this win­ ter." Adding to the damage is the con­ struction of two new buildings on the west side of campus: the student support center and the science building. "We've received more complaints about the construction than anything else," said Johnny Brown, County Maintenance En­ gineer for the North Carolina Department of Transportation. According to Brown, it is see Potholes page 2 Campaign plans to save Howard's Knob on Howard's Knob. "No single landowner has been opposed to what we want to do," said Foxx.

According to Foxx, the board has raised $15,000 from the Access fund, $40,000 in pledges and $100,000 in grants. The board is not able to determine the cost of the park campaign because price negotations have not begun on the land. Foxx said the campaign will take several years but hopes all the land can be purchased in two years. Hunter Schofield, a mem­ ber of the board and Boone Town Council said, "Today begins the final chapter of saving Howard's Knob." Darby Weaver, a member of the board and Student Govern­ ment Association president, said the campaign is a positive project that will "bring the community and university together." The community board is working with the Friend's of Howard's Knob and the Watuaga Land TVust. Heather N.

The board plans to use the land for a low-impact park featuring hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, cross-country skiing and nature studies. In 1995 Appalchian State University students were given the chance to add $20 a year to their tuition to buy tracts of Howard's Knob in the Appalachian Community Environ­ mental Stewardship (ACES) referendum. Stu­ dents voted against the proposal. According to Tom Foxx, chair of the community board, all of the major land own­ ers have been contacted about buying tracts Chanaes ill test causes problems • National Teaching Exam's raised cut­ off score causes higher failure rate Angela Brady Editor-in-Chief Pam Griffin Reporter Praxis, the company that administers the National Teaching Exam (NTE), which all teaching majors must pass in order to receive their licensure, has raised the tests' cut-off scores, causing a higher failure rate for stu­ dents than in the past. Praxis has assured all universities the test is appropriate. There are three tests students must take in the Praxis system, one for each aca­ demic area. Each student must have a mini­ mum score on each test, and also have a mini­ mum score for all three tests combined. How­ ever, the combined score for the entire test is higher than the total minimum for all three tests combined. Patrick Saleeby, who graduated from Appalachian in May, is now working at Inde­ pendence High School in Charlotte. He says the scoring was very confusing. "I think it's strange that the numbers don't add up," said Saleeby. "It's such a large disparity." For those taking the English exam, the minimum scores must total 434 points, however, the combined score must be 485. Dr. Pat Knight, acting assistant dean of the college of education, is not sure the cut­ offs are rational. "We feel that the test scores are in­ appropriate because we were not aware that the cut-off scores were raised," said Knight. "Although we have experienced problems at Appalachian, we have had nowhere near the problems other major teaching schools such as Wilmington, Greensboro, Western Carolina and Eastern Carolina have had. Appalachian is at the top as far as the number of students passing the exam." The problems are adding up for stu­ dents like Saleeby, though. He is working in a full-time permanent position, but only getting substitute teacher pay. "I'm teaching sue English classes; two sophomore and two senior level classes," said Saleeby. "But I'm only getting paid $40 a day, because I'm not licensed. If I weren't living at home, I'd be sleeping in a cardboard box in the school parking lot." Another May graduate of Appala­ chian has also been affected by the problems, even though she passed the NTE. Joanna Medlin Poole, who received her degree in teaching special education, feels the problems may have caused her licensure to be held up. "I went in for an interview with Johnson county schools," said Poole, "and they called me back to make sure I was actually licensed somewhere." Poole said she just found out last week that Raleigh had notified Appa­ lachian they had received the applications for licensure. Those students scheduled to take the NTE through March will have to take the new form of the Praxis exam. Students who fail this form will be given the chance to take the old form of the NTE. The state board department is work­ ing with Praxis on modifying the test. Saleeby said Appalachian has been very helpful in dealing with the problem. "They (ASU) mailed me a letter with a hand­ written note telling me to call before I took the test again to see if anything had changed," said Saleeby. "They advised me of my options and are mailing me some information to help me do better the next time I take the exam."

CRSA was informed of the policy being formed, along with some fac­ ulty members. "CRSA is the group we turn to when we deal with groups in residence halls," he said. Blimling used the new visitation rules as an example of when they would go to CRSA instead of SGA, because it and the new policy are restricted to residence halls. "We go to those who will be most af­ fected," said Blimling. He said policies such as those have historically been handled that way. Lauren Tuttle, off-campus SGA sena­ tor, said, "This is about privacy, not residence halls." She felt legal and social interaction was more appropriate for SGA to handle "We are doing what is in the best in­ terest of everybody," said Blimling.

'Guerrila Grrrls monkeying around with the facts On Thursday, Feb. 15, the staff of The Appala­ chian was made aware of some flyers posted around campus which were aimed at Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski. These flyers were posted in the tunnels, on trash cans and in Raley Hall, just to name a few places. They had the headline from a story which ran on the front page of the Feb. 1 issue of The Appala­ chian which read, "Athlete cleared of all charges" along with two paragraphs from the story. It also had a picture of Borkowski, an excerpt from the Oct./ Nov. 1995 Link Magazine article on violence and ath­ letes and a handwritten message running across the bottom of the page reading, "COINCIDENCE, frank? Love, The Guerilla Grrrls." The only coincidence apparent to us is that Dr. Borkowski is once again being attacked for doing his job as the leader of a public institution. And once again, all the facts are not being brought to light be­ fore the attack is launched. Cases of rape and assault can be found at any university in the nation. Has Dr. Borkowski been the head of all of them? No. This is not to say that cases such as these, because they are so abundant, should be taken any less seriously. They are all serious. It's simply to say that just because Borkowski has been the head of two universities where such cases have made the press does not mean there is some type of big conspiracy or cover up in the works. The only way Dr. Borkowski can be linked to the clearing of charges in the Aldwin Lance case is if he played a part in the judicial process. Another place in which no comparisons can be drawn. Didn't Lance go to court? If anything, the Lance trial should prove that Borkowski is innocent of a cover up since Lance was found innocent of the charges against him. For Borkowski to have had an effect on the outcome of the case, he would have to have had the judge "in his pocket." That kind of drama is hardly warranted in this case. And for those who think Borkowski should have pushed for some kind of punishment for Lance, such as suspension from the team, we have four words for you: innocent until proven guilty. Remember that concept? That is a right guaranteed to ALL Americans by the Constitution, athletes and chan­ cellors included. Look it up. Many readers will probably think we are trying to say the girls in these cases were lying or that we are trying to make light of their situations. With a staff that is almost 50 percent female, think again. We simply find it odd that on a campus where the printed word is usually looked at with a more cautious eye, if not disregarded and not believed al­ together, a group of people would try to dream up some sort of conspiracy based on a magazine article. From the research we did, looking up as much information from the incident as we could find, it did look as though the situation at USF was handled poorly. The vice president and head of student af­ fairs, Dan Walbolt, tried to handle the case of the basketball player himself, rather than letting it go through the proper and more thorough channels. The only reason Dr. Borkowski caught flack for this was because as president of the university, he is techni­ cally responsible for everything that goes on. Wake up, "Grrrls." And perhaps do a bit of re­ search before launching a full Oliver Stone opera­ tion.

The first grenade tossed into the ring came from Bob Doman, a Republican Senator from California. In the re­ cent Defense Department Budget, signed into law by Presi­ dent Clinton last week, Doman stuck in a proposal to dis­ charge all 1,049 military personnel who are HIV positive. Now, grenade number two, Clinton is trying to reverse this policy, calling it "clearly discriminatory and wholly unwar­ ranted." I agree with the normally flaked-out Doman, who for once seems to have drummed up a good idea. I am at a loss as to why this debate is raging on. The military, an occupation filled with numerous hazards, is no place for people infected with HIV or the AIDS virus. Not only is it a danger to themselves, but it is also an ex­ treme hazard to their fellow troops. Some say that it doesn't matter because "the risk is extremely low." Sorry, that's still too high of a risk factor for me. Coincidendy, the same debate is appearing in the sports world with Magic Johnson's return to the court and the annoucment that boxer Tommy Morrison also has HIV I have no problem with Magic playing basketball, it's not a bloody sport. On the the other hand, boxing is a bloody sport and no one with HIV or AIDS should be allowed near the ring. I know this viewpoint might be deemed "uncompassionate," "politically-incorrect" and "unfair" by some. However, when it comes to the military, normal ' • — but true.

Sad, Black History Month not enougl •Race isn't a monthly concept <1 Tony Reese Guest Columnist >< XI tX 1 1/ Every year for the month of February, the "issue" of Black History Month arises. I use the term "issue" because that is how I perceive it. I must say that I honestly was reluctant to write this article, but I feel that this is a topic that needs to be addressed. I feel that we have a "Black History Month" because the race which we now refer to as African- American has had the honor of being blessed with insistent, persistent and powerful brothers such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Huey E Newton and Marcus Gravey just to name a few. Men such as these had the perseverance and determination not to accept what little they were given, but to strive for what they felt their people deserved. A product of that kind of If black history struggle is what we now view as Black History was implemented Month. into the history Beyond a doubt, I ap­ preciate the trials and curriculum of our tribulations my predeces­ sors endured for me but I school systems, am not satisfied and nei­ ther should anyone else there would be no who has an ounce of pride. need for this To this very day I hear non-blacks speaking on charity offering we how we don't need a Black call Black History History Month and I agree. My rationale for Month this is that I am not black for one month a year, but for the rest of my life. If I ever lose sight of that, I am sure I will be reminded. Blacks are as equal a part of this country as those who share this soil with them, and should therefore be treated as such. If black history was implemented into the history curriculum of our school systems, there would be no need for this charity offering we call Black History Month. How­ ever, until this is the case, I will continue to support and celebrate Black History Month. Unfortunately, it is our most powerful weapon at the present to educate non-blacks on who we are and where we come from, but I continue to be dissatisfied. It is a simple equation- Eliminating the igno­ rance equals improving our relations. Most of us have the tendency to think of blacks and whites only when the issue of race arises. We should not forget that there are other races of people who have also struggled for their achievements. These ethnic groups should be recognized as well. However, that is another issue. I have to handle my own struggle before I am able to adequately help someone else with theirs. And, that's all I have to say about that. K b z' 21 ' E k £ A ~ Recognition once a year a travest Andrew Paynter Columnist The other day I was sitting in my apartment watching television when something hit me. It's been hitting me every year strangely at this time. The local station was advertising what it had to offer for "Black History Month." They listed a couple of movies and some forum-type discussion shows. This made me realize, once again the utter stupidity of only recognizing outstanding Africans and AfricanAmericans once a year. What will kids learn about other races in one month? There have been thousands of amazing Africans and African-Americans who have contributed to the United States history and cultures within the country. One of the first periods of literature and musical and artistic explosions I first learned about was the Harlem Renaissance. This period took place early in the twentieth century. Many prominent Africans and African cans fled to this part of New York to engage an ^ pate in the learing and educating process that we the Harlem Renaissance. , js Several historical figures emerged from . such as: Maria Odette Bonner: an educator, . short story teller, Anita Scott Coleman: an e g ist, poet and short-story teller, Myrtle At ^ Livingston: an educator, dancer and playwr'g ^^ Crawford Reynolds: a journalist and poet, an < the great Langston Hughes, author of poetry a Africans and African- Americans have a • dominant in the contribution to music.

Since the introduction of sex education in public schools the teenage birthrate has doubled. How about that? Isn't safe sex an oxymoron? And since we're dealing with life and death, isn't handing a kid a condom that's 65 per­ cent effective kind of like handing him a revolver with only two bullets and calling it safe gunplay? After we dropped our atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 140,000 Japanese civilians died while critics of this decision often cite the lowest American casualty esti­ mates of an invasion of Japan they can get their hands on (as though it proves Harry Truman was some kind of psy­ chopath). How come they never mention how many Japa­ nese civilians might have died in an invasion? The invasion of Iwo Jima and Okinawa (two very small islands compared to Japan), cost 122,000 Japanese lives, 85 percent of whom were civilians. If the Japanese were willing to lose over 100,000 civilians over two small is­ lands, there is no doubt an invasion of Japan would've cost many more civilians than those lost in both atomic blasts, which doesn't even begin to take into account Ameri­ can deaths.

For some people however, the preferred pets are not as cuddly. Andy S. Baldwin is the type of person who prefers less traditional pets. "I am happy just appreciating the animals, looking at them through a pane of glass." Baldwin, 22, is a graduate student in the biology department where he works with scor­ pions. He received his undergraduate degree in biology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. The pets Baldwin has are not the cuddly kjnds of pets that most people would like. "People find it strange that I have such exotic pets, and that I am not interested in dogs that have to be walked." Baldwin currently owns a baby snapping turtle, salamanders, rats, mice, three tarantu­ las (two of which are on the endangered spe­ cies list) and 20 snakes. "Many of the snakes that I have are hi­ bernating, so they are at home in Charlotte," says Baldwin. Younger and smaller snakes don't have enough body fat to hibernate so they must be taken care of through the winter. Two of the tarantulas he owns have been put on the endangered species list. They are 8 and 11-year-old Mexican Red Legs that can possibly live 20 to 25 years. Baldwin also has a more common woolly tarantula that can be purchased in any pet store for around $15. Owning tarantulas is what got Baldwin into working with scorpions. "Scorpions and tarantulas go hand in hand," says Baldwin. Not all of Baldwin's pets are hand-sized. His baby snapping turtle will grow to be 25 pounds. In North Carolina it's legal to own turtles, but illegal to sell them in pet stores. Turtles and other reptiles have been known to carry salmonella, and children have contracted salmonella poisoning after playing with turtles. "Turtles can still be bought in pet stores in Georgia and in Florida, so you just drive a little bit and buy your turtle." Baldwin owns about 20 snakes total. Here in Boone he has a Blood Python, a Boa Con­ strictor and a Scarlet King Snake. Baldwin never had a desire to own a Boa Constrictor because they get too big, but while he was working in a pet store in Charlotte, a little boy brought in a Boa to sell. The snake was almost "dried up," says Baldwin. The snake was so thin its ribs could be seen and it was so weak it could barely open its mouth. Baldwin bought the snake from the little boy for $5, and nursed it back to health. Baldwin has had everything from poison­ ous snakes to a prairie dog, a crow and a opos­ sum. "We got a shipment of prairie dogs in and one of them had a broken leg, so I took it to the vet and the leg had to be amputated. So I had a three-legged prairie dog." The prai­ rie dog was so mean that Baldwin still has chunks of skin out of his hand where it bit him. The crow that Baldwin had could talk. Baldwin taught it to say "hello" and "never more." Baldwin had the opossum for a while, but he felt sorry about playing with it during the day when it is a nocturnal animal, so he let it go. When people find out that Baldwin has snakes and rats and such as pets, they want to look at them. "Most people don't want to hold them, which I can understand." According to Baldwin, snakes make won­ derful pets; you just keep them warm and feed them once a week. They are quiet and they don't smell. If they do smell it is their cage and that can be taken care of easily. The only problem with owning snakes in Boone is the humidity. It is so low here that the snakes have to be misted, even the snakes that like a dry climate. Baldwin says rats make good pets as well. They don't make a lot noise or smell. Also, rats and mice are social animals so they like to be near you and crawl into your pockets. If someone is think­ ing about purchasing a snake, they need to con­ sider the amount of space they have and what they want to do with the snake. People need to realize that some species of snakes can grow as long as 14 feet. Also, cuddliness is a consideration: "Snakes do not like to be held. You see people holding snakes and carrying them out­ side, I don't have patience for that." With pets comes food. Baldwin spends very little on food for his pets. "If you have snakes, raise your own mice. Pet stores get mice for 50 cents and then sell them to you for $3," says Baldwin. The baby snapping turtle eats trout chow, which is basically a fish food. The rats and mice eat rat chow, which can be found in hard­ ware stores. The snakes are fed mice and rats, except for the Scarlet King Snake which is so small that it carit even eat a baby mouse. It is fed frozen lizards. The tarantulas eat baby mice and crick­ ets. He raises rats and mice along with crick­ ets and meal worms. Baldwin purchases his animals through breeders that he got to know while he was working at the pet store. "I trade or sell with the breeders to get animals." Baldwin is always looking at and for ani­ mals. Everywhere he goes he carries with him a snake hook and bags. During spring break he is going to the Everglades to see what he can find down there. This summer, he plans to spend a month in Big Bend National Park in Texas looking for scorpions. Baldwin hopes to some day have a house of his own where he can have a room espe­ cially for his pets. liMttUiflllffti • Among his many pets are a Blood Python (above), a Mexican Red Leg Tarantula (left), a rat (right) and salamanders (bottom). Baldwin prefers these unusual pets to the more commonplace cat or dog.

Let's not forget, how­ ever, some of the lesser-known winter sports we participate in every time it snows or sleets here in Boone. One of these everyday athletic achieve­ ments is the five-minute dash to class. This involves having exactly five minutes to get all the way across campus through, say, two feet of snow or an inch of ice.

Some other fun, yet lesser known winter sports are the one-legged slide downhill and the ice shuffle. These are the familiar ice sports of everyday campus life. The onelegged slide occurs when you are walking downhill, trying to avoid the worst icy spots. Then, suddenly, you put your foot down on what appears to be safe territory and realize you just stepped on a slick spot. All your weight shifts to your back foot, your arms and the other leg flail into the air and you slide down the remainder of the hill. The ice shuffle is a little like ice skating in boots. This sport most frequently takes place when, without realizing it, someone steps out onto - you guessed it - a sheet of ice. In order to retain balance the athlete must turn his gait into a sort of marching shuffle, lifting all of one foot and putting it down in front, while sort of dragging the other foot along the ice. Of course, let's not forget the peripheral vision challenge. This occurs once you have all of your winter gear in place - including your hood - when you realize you can't see to your left or your right. Good luck avoid­ ing people who fall while attempting the fiveminute dash to class! Another fun game is avoiding the salt man. This involves getting out of the path of a man viciously salting the sidewalks with­ out falling flat on your face. Clearing a path is the game that involves being the first one to walk through three feet of snow to your morning class. Follow the leader is played by everyone else who steps in your footprints to avoid getting snow in their boots. If you want to make it more fun, make sure you take really big steps while you're clearing a path - then you can watch see Winter page 7 Black . History Mont • Focusing on achievement of African-America Matt Russ Reporter February is the month in which Americans honor the achievements of African-Americans. Whether or not we need such a commemora­ tion is the subject of debate among many Americans. Carter G. Woodson, the man who started Black History Month, once made the claim that we should focus on positive rather than nega­ tive. This seems to be a very logical claim, yet it had great significance in the context in which he made it. He was speaking about the ethnic group of which he was a member; the African-Ameri­ can. Woodson said society should focus on the achievements of the African-American people. Education was the only way to do this, and it was this element on which he focused. Hence, the establishment of Negro History Week was started to educate the African-Ameri­ cans about their culture and its past. The first Negro History Week took place in February 1926. Over time, this evolved into what we now know as Black History Month. Woodson, a pioneer in the field of AfricanAmerican history and research, was the son of slave parents and was well aware of the role education had played in changing his social and economic status. It was this strong belief in the power of the education process that led Woodson to edu­ cate the young brothers and sisters of his cul­ ture about the significant achievements of the African-American. "To educate the Negro we must find out exactly what his background is, what he is to­ day, what his possibilities are, and how to be­ gin with him as he is and make him a better individual of the kind he is," sums up the phi­ losophy of Woodson. Today we dedicate a month to enridf the lives of Americans with knowledge of gfl accomplishments made in our country5 tory by African-Americans. This month, often misunderstood by Americans, both black and white, is a recognize those significant African-Ame historical figures. "It is a time to recognize the . of Black Americans and acknowledge normally recognized," says James E- 0 a senior from Roanoke, Va. j "It lets people know that blacks do po things in this country, regardless of the s says Tolliver. . j The history of the African-Amenc rich and full that attempting to com ^ much history in so little time seems futile.

For a little more than , pnee of an average visit to the ror Appalachian students get evi^g from aspirin to X-rays. ' According to Dr. William A. DerHealth Director of Appalachian " university's Health Services, the _ary is basically fee-supported, u means all full time students pay Epeeach semester to use the Health Vices, and this fee covers almost jofa student's needs. Appalachian's tmiaiy does not receive any fundfrom the state of North Carolina the University. "Often students have the misunderstanding that part of their tuition goes to Health Services. However, the only money we receive comes from the Health Services fee which is a part of the student fee," says Derrick. This fee covers about 95 percent of the Infirmary's budget. The other five percent comes from services for which the Infirmary makes a charge. This charge is incurred, for the most pan ,on preventive services and cer­ tain medicines. For example, the In­ firmary charges an additional fee for Pap tests, birth control pills, certain antibiotics, and other expensive medi­ cines. According to Derrick, the total annual budget is approximately $1.4 million. More than one million dol­ lars goes to pay for the salaries and benefits of Appalachian's Health Ser­ vices employees. Appalachian's Stu­ dent Health Services consists of 27 fulltime employees including three phy­ sicians, ten nurses, and one pharma­ cist. The remainder of the budget goes to pay for everything else from medi­ cine to light bulbs. The Infirmary is responsible for its own maintenance and upkeep including water and sewer, electricity, telephone, and even laundry. "The University is like a small town and we (the Infirmary) are just one of many areas in the town," says Derrick. Even though Appalachian's Infir­ mary receives no financial support from the state or the university, by operating on a tight budget, Health Services makes the most of every student's dollar. 'To be able to provide as many prepaid services at the costs we do is something to be proud of. We offer laboratory testing, x-ray testing, our own pharmacy with prepaid medica­ tion, an athletic trainer to help with physical therapy, efficient out-patient service as well as 24 hour in-patient service, and a top notch staff that is very student oriented," says Derrick. Your $70.50 helps pay for all these medical services and much more. The Infirmary's hours are 8 a.m. to 11:30, and 1 to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Right next door, Health Services are also open 24 hours every day.

One such sport is Weather Movie Reviews 'Sensibility' makes sense Steven Mackay Reporter Who's the most powerful author in Hollywood today? It's Jane Austen, a British dame who has been dead for well over a hundred years. Her latest literary classic to hit the silver screen is the rapturous "Sense and Sensibil­ ity" Already in release since Christ­ mas, "Sense" has been overflowing with Oscar buzz, especially after win­ ning a Golden Globe for best picture. It has finally made its way to Boone, thus bringing a fresh aura of culture... which we need after slogging through "Black Sheep." "Sense" centers around two sis­ ters, Elinor (Emma Thompson) and Marianne (Kate Winslet) Dashwood, who suffer through a series of bouts with squashed love but still have to choose husbands. This PG-rated En­ glish import has a 19th-century setting, so there's no hot and heavy hankypanky to be found here. Elinor is the sense of the title, the almost stereotypical Brit who never lets emotion get in the way of logic, even if the latter is wrong. Marianne is the free-spirited sym­ bol of sensibility. She believes mar­ riage should be based on love alone and not convenience or economical viability - as her peers think it should be. During the course of a few months, the two sisters meet three eli­ gible and very different bachelors. Bachelor number one is Edward Ferrars (Hugh Grant), the ultra-polite brother-in-law of their step-brother. Bachelor number two is John Willoughby (Greg Wise), a Shakespeare buff who lives nearby. Bachelor number three is Colonel Brandon (Alan Rickman), an older gendeman who has never had much luck with romance. The screenplay adaptation writ­ ten by Thompson proves her writing is as brilliant as her acting. I've never read an Austen book, but there is an awesome air of satire and beauty in the movie. Many scenes are laugh-outloud funny, but not in the slapstick "Home Alone" fashion. This is a com­ edy of the human spirit, where the laughs come from watching Grant sweat and flutter as he sees his fian­ cee and the woman he loves in the same room. Not all of the movie is funny; many scenes are upper lip En­ glish drama. Ang Lee ("Eat Drink Man Woman") directs with great ease, let­ ting his camera watch characters in­ teract from a distance. The normal scenes of in-your-face camera work are sparse here, thus making this film a pleasure to watch. The cinematogra­ phy itself is unbelievably rich; the col­ ors jump off the screen. Every character is brought to life by the stellar cast. The standout, of course, is the always excellent Thomp­ son. Also noteworthy is Alan Rickman's touching performance. This should shatter his American image as the guy who plays the nastiest of vil­ lains in such films as "Die Hard." By far, "Sense and Sensibility" is one of the best pictures from 1995. Sweet, romantic, witty and most of all, smart, this should not be missed. It is now showing at the Chalet. Grade: A Cartoons Games people play... I"?

While people are always going to have different opinions on varied top­ ics, especially when dealing with sen­ sitive issues such as race, everyone tends to come back to the same be­ ginning. That beginning is education. With­ out it there is no progression, and without progression we find ourselves living in a stagnant society. As Woodson told those who were willing to listen, an education equals freedom. And only through education can it be possible to ensure "that the present can only be understood in terms of the past, and the past offers the only sure foundation upon which to build the future."

Senior point guard Shannon Spencer scored six of Appalachian State's last 10. Me­ lissa Davis added two of her 23 points with just over a half minute to play, while collect­ ing seven boards, two blocks and two steals. Andreia Hinton, averaging better than 18 points in Southern Conference play, finished with 14 points and 11 rebounds. Hinton shot four of 14 from the field, but made two of those 10 late-game free throws to help seal the vic­ tory. Appalachian State (11-0 conference), which clinched the conference regular season championship with the team's 18th win of the year, survived its first true test since an over­ time loss to South Carolina Jan. 31. "ETSU is always going to play hard," said Spencer. "We were up by 20, and with only a few minutes left, they had brought it down to six." The I adv Buccaneers' 4my Engle leads the Southern in five categories, including scoring (19.5 points/game). Engle had 20 against Appalachian and drained two straight threepointers with under four minutes remaining in the game to bring ETSU (8-14 overall, 2-9) within four. Davis answered with a turnaround jumper on Appalachian State's next possession, and Maaret Artosalo's offensive rebound and layup after a missed ASU free throw put the Bucs at a 73-65 disadvantage. After winning the league tourney a year ago, ETSU's season has been a roller coaster: 1994-95 conference Coach-of-the-Year Karen Kemp has watched her team drop six straight and then win three in a row, before bringing a two-game losing streak into Varsity Gym. Saturday's game meant another up-and-down ride, as ETSU committed 18 first half turnovers before outscoring 46-40 in the second. As Southern Conference seedings stood on Monday, App and East Tennessee will be matched for the third time this season in the league tournament's first round, on Feb. 28 in Boone. "We've beaten them twice," Spencer said, "and we're capable of beating them again. But we know we can't relax." The Mountaineers outlasted ETSU 101-92 in Jan. at Johnson City.

(Photo by Jason Wilkinson} Men's hoops beat ETSU Mike Daniels Assistant Sports Editor It seems like some teams really need to be on their home turf to play well and the 19951996 ASU men's basketball team is a perfect example of this. With a loss to Marshall in Huntington, W.Va. last week, the Apps road record on the season fell to 0-10 with just one more away game to go. Plus, the team lost both its games in Indiana's holiday tournament to make them 0-2 at neutral sites. The Apps returned to Boone on Saturday to face the Buccaneers of East Tennesse State, who had beaten the Apps 100-68 in the first meeting of the year in Johnson City. This time, playing before their own crowd, the Mountaineers turned the table on the Bucs and handed them a crushing 95-79 defeat. This win brought the Mountaineers home record to 7-4, meaning that every win the Mountaineers have had this season has been at home. Head Coach Tom Apke has said be­ fore that "to be contender in this league you have to play well on your own floor." It seems that the Mountaineers have yet to realize that you also have to play well on your opponents' floors to have a shot at win­ ning the Southern Conference. The numbers speak for themselves. The Apps are averaging 83.2 points per game at home this year. On the road, the Mountain­ eers are managing only a dismal 61.7, almost 22 points less than they are scoring at home. The Mountaineers have also been spot­ ting the team's big early leads with consistency on the road, while at home it has only hap­ pened a couple times. At Marshall the team went from leading 5-2 to start the game, to trailing 16-5 two minutes later. Against ETSU, it was the Apps who went up early and never looked back. Maybe it's all the traveling, or the deaf­ ening noise of the Southern Conference crowds on the road that have plagued the Apps jour­ neys out of the High Country all season. It just dosen't seem like this team should be do­ ing this poorly. After all, they do have talent in players like Kareem Livingston, who co-led the team with 24 points against ETSU, Junior Braswell, Brian Hege, who also had 24 versus • . inexperience ETSU, Clint Crosston, Blair Adderly, and Tige Darner, who had 18 at Marshall to lead the team. They have height, speed, scoring ability, and a decent bench, which are the main com­ ponents of a good all around team, albeit not a great team by any stretch. So it's hard to comprehend why they are doing so poorly this year. The Apps will have one last chance to get a road victory when they travel to Western Carolina next week. Meanwhile, the Moun­ taineers will have home games against UTC and VMI this week.

Junior Rich Latta earned third place in the shot put and the 35 lb. weight toss as he threw for distances of 50' 9 1/4" and 51' 5". Latta's shot put throw broke a personal best by over a foot. Senior Jason Gibson placed 14th in the 60 meter hurdles out of 39 competitors. Senior Robert "Poose" Johnson did not compete after suffering a broken arm in a car accident last Wednesday night. His sta­ tus for this weekend's conference champion­ ships is questionable. "These two meets provided a tune-up for Brian Hege hits a lay-up against Furman last week. Hege scored a game high 24 against ETSU, Saturday. ASU won 95-79. (Photo by Dana Gardner) grapplers Poremba some of our athletes for the conference meet next weekend," commented ASU Hack Coach , John Weaver. "With injuries and illness to | our distance squad and the car accident that broke the arm of Robert Johnson, we do have some question marks giong into the meet. However, this is a very determined lot of ath­ letes and the championship is very much on their minds as something that can happen. The women's team faired well in the two meets also, led by Green who broke her own, school record in the shot put, with a toss 0 ( 46' 8 3/4", placing her third in the meet.

"We are pleased with the progress of the freshmen and sophomores on the team," said coach Weaver. "The seniors and juniors are making the contribution we need and their experience will have to guide us through the meet (conference championships), but our depth is in the young underclassmen. "We will find out this weekend what kind of fighters we have on the team. Tradition can mean a lot in these circumstances, but we respect our conference opponents for having brought themselves to our level. The confer­ ence is close and will be exciting." The Lady Apps have won the conference seven of the last eight years, but lost 16 mem­ bers from last year's team to graduation. They are currently rebuilding, but are always tough. The Mountaineers will compete in the conference championships this weekend at Virginia Military.

'Equus' rides into Appalachian 1996 Volume 70, Number 31 Appalachian State University, Boone, North Carolina, 28608 (ranford and Yepko announce candidacy jJCagie"" L Editor E Kaye Cranford and Jason C. Yepko announced at Tuesday's Student Government j_n fSGA) meeting that they will be running for president and vice president of SGA for Anting school year "During the past three years I ve seen this organization accomplish many things," said jtial candidate Cranford. "Our goal is to ensure continued success of building on an iy strong foundation. ' yepko said, "Our goal is to do our best to be a voice for students." Yepko also said their to keep students informed of "big topics like search and seizure." The overall goals of the Cranford and Yepko campaign are safety, a variety of aca!ssues, residence halls and food services. «We have our platform goals. We are finalizing them this week," said Cranford. Cranford is a junior from Concord, N.C. She is majoring in child development with a in psychology. Cranford served on last year's SGA cabinet as assistant secretary. She has ujn a delegate for the Association of Student Governments. Cranford has served on the Student Union Advisory Board and has been an AppolCorps uanford is aiso the vice-president of Alpha Phi social sorority.

(File photo) iversity Week begins Feb. 19 Special interest offices reorganized • i Griffin iter I Appalachian 2000, Council for CulAwareness, and the Native American nil are among a few of the campus orgaions that will be spotlighted Feb. 19-22 it of Diversity Week. The week ends with bit show on Feb. 22 in the Grand Balln of the Plemmons Student Union from p.m. Diversity Week was a part of Student tmment Association (SGA) President iyE. Weaver and Vice President Robyn S. pi's campaign platform. "We thought of Diversity Week as a of promoting the diverse groups we have ampus and showing what each of them to offer," said Felicia F. Fluid, student afthairperson. Diversity Week targets the various minority groups on campus in an effort to in­ volve students and faculty in becoming more culturally aware. SGA hopes that throughout the week students will become more interested in participating with these groups, and that student and faculty involvement will increase. "We are attempting to reach lots of different kinds of people through different types of programs ranging from forums to pow­ wows to the talent show," said Rochelle M. Myers, a member of the student affairs com­ mittee. "We are the first generation to be cul­ turally aware, and in our society today, diver­ sity is a big buzzword. Diversity has come to be something to be valued instead of having a negative connotation to it." J. Dan Norris, external affairs chair, agrees diversity is becoming an ever-growing topic on Appalachian's campus. "The issue of diversity is important on campus because it adds flavor to the university environment," he said. "It is important to be culturally aware these days." Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski is pleased with the upcoming week's work. "I feel that the initiation by SGA is very com­ mendable and I fully support it. I think it is a good project." The involvement of faculty as well as students has been important throughout the planning and production of the programs involved in Diversity Week. The faculty is in­ cluded in all the events and comprise a large number of the panelists in the Appalachian 2000 forum on campus diversity. Barbara E. Stewart of African-Ameri­ can Student Development said she really ap­ preciates SGA's efforts in putting Diversity Week together. "It's going to be an outstand­ ing week," said Stewart. "This is something we should see more often from different kinds and levels of organizations. I am very encour­ aged by the week ahead of us." llass policies change for fall '96 'on Pennell Son Ppnnpll sistant News Editor Changing a credit to an audit will ® k done during the present drop/add °f five days beginning the fall of 1996. I Edmundo A. Echeverria, academic affairs chair chair announced this new change in policy at the Feb. 13 SGA meeting. "We felt a substantial number of people were using the audit option to drop a class," said Registrar A. Brooks McLeod. "It (auditing) should have been done when drop/add was changed," said McLeod. Echeverria, chair of academic affairs, explains the new class s^oSGA (Photo Aaron Fein) Last year when the Academic Polio Policy and Procedure committee met, a motion was proposed to change the time period allowed to audit classes, said McLeod. At that time it was decided not to accept it and to wait until the fall of 1995. The reason for the wait was to test the number of students who would choose to audit a class rather than drop it. According to McLeod, the number of people who audited classes doubled. The decision to change the policy on auditing came from the registrar's office. "This is one of the examples of policies that has been made without any consideration of the stu­ dents," said Echeverria. "Most people can find out something about a class in the first five days," said McLeod. "It's adequate time." "This policy undermines students who want to enhance their learning without being penalized with a grade," said Echeverria In addition to this new auditing policy, students will have to get permission from their instructors to audit any course. McLeod said the primary reason to have professors sign the audits was some classes are so heavily in demand, people au­ diting classes could prevent "degree seekers" from taking their required classes. Also, there have been cases where the number of people auditing a class was so large, that their lack of participation brought down the morale of the class. To audit a class, one will have to pick up an audit form from the registrar's office, have the faculty member sign it and then re­ turn it to the registrar. According to Clinton R. Parker, chair of the academic policy and procedure commit­ tee, these decisions were acted on promptly at the meeting Feb. 7 because the class sched­ ules for fall of 1996 had to printed on Feb. 13. For the vote, the twelve faculty on the com­ mittee and two of the four students were in attendance. Renee Cagle News Editor The offices of Women's Concerns and Equal Opportunity will be reorganized into one office, tentatively called the Office of Affirma­ tive Action, Equal Opportunity and Diversity. The move is based on recommenda­ tions made by the Chancellor's commmitte on Diversity. Dr. Harvey R. Durham, provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs, is in charge of appointing the committee to over­ see reorganizing the offices. Edelma D. Huntley, associate dean of graduate studies, and Melissa E. Barth, director of women's con­ cerns, are chairing the committee, which will look at the functions and responsibilities of the new office, Durham said. According to Durham, the reorgani­ zation is still in the planning stages. He said he has sent out letters asking different people to serve on the committee. Durham said the committee should be set in a week to 10 days. He said the com­ mittee will also advise him on what to name the office. Barth said the most important job of the committee is to address the concerns on the Appalachian campus and in the commu­ nity. The committee will try to develop a struc­ ture that will best handle the people and the issues. The plans for combining special in­ terest offices should be ready for action in six to eight weeks. A survey conducted by the Equal Opportunity Office, which will be housed in the new office, found student's satisfaction with issues on campus in fall '95.

Accuracy and Public Service since 1936 Our opinion... Equal pay for equal work During a recent speech in Iowa, President Clinton addressed work-study programs at public universi­ ties. He compared work-study pay to the national minimum wage, urging students to strive for more economic stability Clinton focused on the idea that students go to college to eventually make more money upon gradu­ ation. He commended students for working hard to support themselves during their college years. One of his main points was that living on work-study pay teaches college students to be frugal and makes them appreciate money like nothing else. We believe this is true. Student workers usually earn very little money, often less than the minimum wage, and have to put in long hours to support themselves. Many students with stipended positions such as Resident Assistants, find they are paid less per hour when they average out the actual time they work with their salary. The highest starting wage of any campus job is $4.60. Most student workers earn $4.25. This is ridicu­ lous. It isn't fair that students who work in food ser­ vices earn much less than those who work at McDonald's. Equal work deserves equal pay. Another facet to this issue is the disappointing realization that students are in "dead-end" jobs. The most a student working in Food Services can hope to advance is from working in the kitchen to behind the cash register. At least at McDonald's the status of . shift supervisor or possibly even manager can be at­ tained for hard work and time on the job. The only gain to be expected upon leaving a campus job, how­ ever, is a (hopefully) favorable reference. This job ladder is more like a step-stool. Some students have graduate assistantships or research assistantships which pay a great deal more. Resident Directors and other graduate assistants working for Residence Life get the added bonus of free housing and out-of-state tuition waivers that reduce their out-of-state cost to in-state rates. There are other student jobs with perks like parking per­ mits that allow them to park on-campus. The least that students deserve is competitive wages and pay for the actual time they work. Pay scales should be based on level of responsibility and duties. For example, Resident Assistants spend much more than the 15 hours a week they are paid for working with residents while on duty, during pro­ grams, and when approached with additional needs of their floor. In addition to their regular duties, R.A.'s are on-call 24 hours a day. Perhaps these are examples of reasons the number of applications for next year's positions are so low. Students desire good pay for good work. Something needs to be done to help students who actually work while also going to school. If a stu­ dent is going to put in the time and effort it takes to do a job, and does it well, that student should be rewarded as any employee in the so-called "real world" would be. At the beginning of the year, ad­ ministration was trying to figure out why on-campus jobs were so hard to fill. Perhaps when some measures are taken to see students are compensated for their work, on-campus jobs will not be so hard to fill.

Angela Brady Editor-in-Chief The Internet, now the commercial equivalent of an electronic Christmas, is being mined for new ways to make money. So much is going on in this medium, it makes one wonder what will come of all this fuss. Many folks are in an uproar about the new Decency Act, but I think it will have less of an effect than currently imagined. Of all the people on the Internet, the govern­ ment probably ranks next to me and Andy Griffith in knowl­ edge of how to get things done. It's a new medium, and people will fuss about restricting it, but you can't put na­ ked pictures of people in the newspaper or on prime-time, either. Look for the sex-related Internet stuff to go the way of sex on cable: restricted to those who are old enough and have to pay to see it. That's right. Less and less on the Internet is going to be public service while more and more of it becomes paid services. I guess this is good because it creates new sources of income, though I personally find it hard to argue against free stuff. Look for software coming out that will turn the Internet Humans are social animals Kent Wagoner Columnist A couple of months ago I did something I had not done before in my college career: I went to a party. "But Kent," you say, "I've always thought of you as a major party beast!" Well, sorry to disappoint all of my loyal followers (all two and a half of you!) but I am not a crazed social creature. Indeed, I am the type who is perfectly satisfied to read a good book while listening to Bach or Beethoven or Anthrax. I'll let you do the partying for me, usually. This time, things were different During the latter part of last semester I was involved with the New Play Festival. For those of you not involved in theater, after the end of the last run of a show, the cast and crew usually get together and throw a party. Hence the term "Cast Party." The past cast parties I had attended were rather quiet affairs, with wine and hors'dovours and "Oh you were sssoooOOOOooooo artistic" and things like that. Yep, that's right: boring and pre­ tentious. This party was slightly different. In­ deed, this was more like what I've heard about regular college parties- loud mu­ sic, lots of people and too much beer. It was interesting, to say the least. Being that I am not accustomed to college parties, I felt extremely out of place at this social function. The beer didn't interest me as I don't drink. I had no aspirations to find a female compan­ ion for the night as I have a long-term girlfriend whom I love very much. I knew very few people there and those I did know I know only on a passing basis. Since my conversation skills are on par with Koko the Gorilla's, I really didn't have much luck meeting anyone else, or deepening my relationships with the few people that I recognized. The blaring dance music only vaguely amused me -1 can't dance, and I don't particularly care for rap, hip-hop, nor whatever else was being played on the massive stereo system. As you can imagine, I didn't do much while there beyond holding up one of the walls (I Jason Wilkinson Asst Editorials Editor Clay Barbour Features Editor David Willis Sports Editor Richard Smith Mike Daniels Asst Sports Editor David Wainer Chief Copy Editor Editorial Department 262-6233 or 262-3104 Advertising Department 262-2157 Production Department 262-6256 did, however, do a mighty fine job of that, thank you very much!) I ended up leaving this party early, as it was be­ coming more and more crowded, and I was extremely hun­ gryAs I searched for a place still open, I thought about the party I had just left. I felt strange about all that I had seen and was also amazed by it. It struck me, briefly, as being almost tribal; a primitive gathering where social bonds were strengthened or formed, and all over a keg of Budweiser or something like that. It was (if you'll please excuse the armchair sociologist in me) a perfect example of the interaction of social animals, on a slightly more com­ plicated level. I don't suspect that lions or bees or hermit crabs or other social creatures care much for lukewarm beer in plastic cups, but hey, we're humans, and we've al­ ways done things a little differently than the rest of the animal kingdom. I felt strange because I am a very private person, and a keg of Budweiser really does little to impress me. While others bonded, mingled, danced and drank, I stood virtu­ ally alone in a room full of people. Occasionally someone would say a few words to me, or wave from across the room, but for the most part I was pretty much unnoticed, and I kind of liked it that way. 1 wondered what my posi­ tion was in the social spectrum. I still haven't quite fig­ ured it out, and I don't suspect that I ever will. The strangest thing is the fact that, though I was coi pletely out of my normal surrounding and exposedtoJ event that I had only heard stories about, I actually raft! enjoyed myself. On an intellectual level I found the cos plicated interactions, the give and take going on arouJ me, to be extremely fascinating (uh oh! Kent's stuck! "Spock" mode), and on a social level, I felt... well, maytk not accepted, but at least tolerated, and maybe even slight! respected, the way a large dog is respected: he loot friendly enough, but you don't quite know whether or nd he'll rip your arm off and beat you to death with it. r,' certainly not saying that I'm going to change my enii! way of life because of this party; I'd rather stay the privW person that I am. And I don't believe that I will seek* parties to go to, but I certainly won't avoid them life1 once did. MayDe tne cynic in me was wrong alter all. Ma* society isn't as mindbogglingly screwed up as I first bj lieved. Perhaps what we all need is just one giant pan] with obnoxious music and flashing lights and no copsg bust it up. Just one big worldwide shin-dig, where evet) one is welcome (the cops have to bring the doughnut though) and no one cares about anything but a good tin Heck, I might even try to dance to MC Roofing Nail, | whatever he's called now.

The Internet's innocence was lost, ironicallv° yennigL come the motive, as opposed to the individual home-pages when it became regulated. Have you ever seen an ad in a magazine with nothing but some lanky model staring back at you with a designer's name over the photo? Do you ever wonder what the hell is being sold in these ads: perfume, jeans, toothpaste? If so, then good for you, because you probably didn't buy whatever product was being hawked. These are ex­ amples of what I call bad psychology in advertising. These are the ads that take up space in our brains and leave us thinking about nothing. Unfortunately for the advertisers, this is certainly not the goal of all their hard work and contemplation. There is also the flip side. Have you ever been inclined to buy a product because the ad made you laugh? Has there ever been a product that you knew you wanted, and then bought simply because of the ad's subliminal charm? Have you ever gone to Wal-Mart for grocery store items because Wal-Mart has generally lower prices? Even if you haven't, millions of other unsuspecting consumers have become testaments to the power of good psychology in advertising. When I speak of the psychology of ads, I am talking about the thought process utilized by the designers of these images that are supposed to incline us to give money in return for a perfect body, hip attitude, fantastic bargain or anything else that can only be attained through time and effort. To have a body, you must exercise. To be hip, you must develop confidence. To find a bargain, you must go to the grocery store as well as Wal-Mart and calculate the cost-per-square inch of toilet paper to determine which is actually 20 cents cheaper. All that trouble for less than a quarter? In the long run, it is actually worth the effort. Saving 20 cents on a half dozen products twice a week for a year equals $124.80. And that's just at the grocery store. Only in America could a store such as the Gap actu­ ally sell a plain t-shirt for $20, with nothing more to dis­ tinguish it from its 3-for-$7 K-Mart counterparts than a tag in the back of the neck saying, "GAR" This seems down­ right immoral, but the Gap wouldn't even have t-shirts at that price if there weren't people that buy them. Most rea­ sonable folks would see the flaw in this logic, but it is, in fact, worth $20 to many misguided youths to think about the Gap when they look at their shirt rather than to think of K-Mart. God bless America! This is a case in point of the potential in treating environment as a commodity. Why else would people be suckered into getting gro­ ceries at Wal-Mart? This is the power of environmental association. Granted, Wal-Mart does have many discounts, but that doesn't always hold true. Just because some things are cheaper there, people will assume all goods are cheaper. Part of Wal-Mart's appeal is created by the environment of various low prices. "Watch out for falling prices!" Yeah, but watch out for lower ones at other stores, too. Even the look of a store will mislead one into believ­ ing prices are better. If a grocery store has a looks like a warehouse with items stocked to the ceiling, you naturally assume that the prices will be better than a store with less storage-facility-ambiance.

You . thjs in your own article when you jXjj Wes Wise saying, "They start speaking own language and we don't know what saying. They could be insulting us, ^ L fun of our wives or figuring out a way to rob the place. We don't know." Thanks for putting such an asinine state­ ment in the article, because it makes it so much easier to explain to you where your reasoning went wrong. Racists commonly project their faults and insecurities on other people. Wise did not attempt to ask the men what they were talking about but assumed that because they were speaking in Spanish they were attacking his personal well-being. Could this be because that is the sort of thing he does to others when given the opportunity, or is he suffering from some sort of paranoia? Either way, it is his assumption that those who speak Spanish are corrupt (or at least, rude) that highlights his racism. Any attempt to humiliate another person because he/she is part of another racial or ethnic group is rac­ ism. The attempt by yourself to rationalize the actions of Joyce Ostrander make me won­ der whether or not YOU have a different defi­ nition for racism. She openly humiliated her customers, claiming it was her Patriotic duty to show disrespect to Hispanics who choose to converse with each other in Spanish. You quoted her as saying, "We don't want Spanish gibberish here and we mean it." She might just as well have said to the Hispanics "We don't want YOU in here." Tell me, given your own statement that language is the center point to culture, how can YOU claim it is not racist to force Hispan­ ics not to speak Spanish? By doing so you are denying the importance of their culture and it is their culture (as with all of us) which gives them a sense of identity. Thus, in essence, YOU are denying the importance of the identity of each Spanish speaking Hispanic in America. How is it that you believe humiliating oth­ ers will help race relations? Charles Frieber ASU Boxll915 UK I was appalled to read the editorial writiyjohn Lane. What does he mean by , jrica has been losing its identity steadily . jonie time now?" Like it or not, this state. has strongly racist overtones. It implies [here is an "American identity" that is to 45 and defended. In this case, it is one s American who speaks English. America is a constantly evolving paradigm enriched by every new culture and lanjXethat chooses to call it home. American identity only exists in the minds of a formerly dominant culture that does not want to make room for a changing society. In his article, Lane laments the fact that we have no way to enforce communication between people because we have no official language. There are other forms of communi­ cation besides language. For example, artistic expression promotes understanding and accep­ tance between cultures in ways that could never be exchanged in dialogue. Not only are there alternatives available but the idea of enforcing communication is a reprehensible notion and a direct violation of our constitu­ tional right to freedom of speech. Furthermore, I found it lamentable that someone would actually defend the actions of Joyce Ostrander. I have traveled all over the world and never been asked to refrain from speaking English. Ostrander has the right to her opinions but she does not have the right to condemn anyone for their choice of lan­ guage. SuK" )0^ It Editor: 'not h |j regards to the editorial by John Lane ^ fcbruary 1,1 wonder how proficient he is va! cy of the Native American dialects that ^ it originally spoken in this country? If we ^ his reasoning, then quite logically we • dd be speaking one of the indigenous lanBut no, the groups that came to 1 kfcra seemingly never once considered they al)#toffending their native hosts by not learn)SI [their languages eventually, instead forcing sjto adopt a foreign language to subsist in Wthat was once theirs alone. So,how far back do we go to determine a national language? Spanish has been spoken on this continent for far longer than English, as it predates it by almost 300 years! All across this nation, you can find various areas where there first was spoken a language other than English. So why English?? I would agree that as a nation, English is unofficially our language of choice, but I don't think any one of us has the right to tell an­ other that in order to be in the United States, you MUST speak English at all times. This should then be turned around on Americans traveling and working abroad, that they must at all times speak in the native tongue. Sadly, the majority of Americans would be barred from international travel and commerce be­ cause they aren't fluent in Russian, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese or any language other than English. My final point is that in fact, the majority of immigrants to this country are already flu­ ent in English, or at least have a working knowledge of the language and should be al­ lowed to revert to their native tongue when­ ever they so choose! to speak English (an impossibility in fact, but a necessity, according to you) so that all us good ol' regular American English speakers won't be left wondering? And do you really think it's safe to assume that everyone speaking a different language is out to hurt you? You know, maybe those guys just wanted a drink. You state we should make English the of­ ficial language in the United States. What about some of the border states like Texas? In 1848 when Mexico ceded Texas to the United States, the Treaty of Guadalupe was signed stating that Spanish would remain the official language in this territory and public education would be taught in Spanish. This agreement was never carried out. So, we take a people's land and with it their language, their "most identifying feature and centerpoint of their culture," in your words. I really don't understand the problem with having different languages spoken within the same country. I enjoy visiting cities like New York where there's a different language being spoken on every block. It's kind of beau­ tiful. It's kind of like accepting other cultures and appreciating their differences. Or is that also going too far? rial" language of this country takes the cake. You think people shouldn't be able to speak other languages because they might be talk­ ing about you? A bit paranoid? And you're voting for a president just for this reason? This country scares me. one another while dining in Tokyo. In addi­ tion, Lane's satire is obvious in the fact that an extension of his logic would preclude people from traveling to countries unless they were able and willing to speak in that country's na­ tive tongue. How funny! We should require all tourists to speak only English in public or they will be denied visas. We should now require all U.S. bilinguals to speak only English to one another or deny them access to supermarkets, shopping malls, churches, coffee shops and bars. We should require all U.S. tourists going abroad to be able not to just order meals and make hotel reser­ vations in other languages, but hold full-blown conversations even among themselves in that language. Lane's reference to the situation in India is absolutely hilarious. In a near perfect ex­ ample of spurious logic and partial informa­ tion, he uses the fact that India constitution­ ally recognizes numerous official languages to support the call for making English our na­ tional language. They officially recognize scores of languages, so obviously we should recognize only one! In 1993-94,1 spent eight months living in India, and I can't imagine any Indian asking me to leave anywhere because I wasn't speaking Hindi, or Punjabi, or Bengali, or Tamil, or English. Lane's satire is effective because it caustically reveals the ignorance of those without an appreciation for bilingualism and cultural diversity. And John Nolte is another Jonathan Swift in the making! He satirizes conservatives, call­ ing for truth in history and then labels those who disagree with his obviously right-wing positions as "America bashers," "ex-hippies" and "hippie wannabees." His equating wars between Native Ameri­ can peoples with the eradication of Native Americans by industrial civilizations is an ex­ ample of satirical hyperbole. He denigrates how American history has been written and then uses American historians to defend his arguments. He criticizes "selectivism" in his­ tory and then condenses our own complicated history and foreign policy, claiming it contin­ ues to be guided by pure altruism rather than self-interest. This has to be political satire at its best! Nolte's columns are one of the best weap­ ons liberals (read: ex-and-not-so ex-hippies) have, for they reveal the absurdities of conser­ vative positions. Yes, for every person who takes Nolte seriously and becomes a conser­ vative, at least five see the humor in his writ­ ing and become liberals. ^ te Editor: iyJ Sam Duffy ASU Box 17176 Susanne Faircloth ASU Box 7837 ipp . tpbe Editor: I Spanish gibberish?

Letters should be typed, double-spaced and of 150 words or less Headline offends reader To the Editor: I am currently a graduate student at Ap­ palachian and was both saddened and troubled by the front page of the January 25th edition of The Appalachian. Under the tide, the newspaper claims to be Fair, Accurate, and offer Public Service. I feel as though the pa­ per went against these three offerings when it printed the headline, "Student Allegedly Assaulted." The title suggests that the student "could" have been assaulted, but read as if there was no evidence to support this fact. However, the first sentence of the article states that a female was physically assaulted. How is it fair or accurate to say that this female was allegedly assaulted in the headline, when the article read as though she was assaulted? Not only is this unfair and inaccurate but it offers public service that is not clear nor pre­ cise. Can the newpaper really back its article's facts when it prints headlines that are so con­ troversial. Not only does it seem unfair, I also feel as though by printing the headline, the pa­ per suggested that maybe this female was not really assaulted or maybe that she was mak­ ing this whole event up. Speaking from ex­ perience, when an assault occurs (any kind of assault, whether it be verbal or physical) you will remember it, and it will be very true to you. To have someone say that it "alleg­ edly" happened not only puts doubt on those involved, it is demeaning to the woman to whom this happened. I cannot look at this headline and article together and say that it offers fairness, accu­ racy, nor any kind of public service. To me, it has only established doubt in the minds of many Appalachian students as to the truth­ fulness of the paper. It has demeaned a fe­ male assault victim who is also a student at this university who should be treated with fairness and accuracy. Shouldn't the print­ ing of the article have been a true public ser­ vice? Gray Sappenfield ASU Box 18266 Policy process faulty To the Editor: To present day, students' active partici­ pation in policy and other decision making is not actively encouraged. An active participa­ tion for students would include two para­ mount conditions not found today. First, when questioning policy, students should not be considered aggressive. The students' hesi­ tation concerning the details of a policy should not be interpreted as a challenge to that policy, instead their comments should be valued as a contribution previously ignored. Students should be confident that their voice counts. This confidence should be communicated from the administration, faculty, staff and their representative Student Government. When presenting policy which excludes students' contribution, administrators should not interpret the students' voice as regressive in their talk, for this implies that the policy is set and that students must accept its reality. The role of the presenter then becomes that of an agent for complacency and not an insti­ gator of dialogue. Second, students must have an equal and fair representation on all university commit­ tees and/or decision making bodies which en­ act policies directly affecting students. By fair, we mean that students must be kept informed and are afforded the time to commit to their representation. Equality should also be sought. The com­ mittee administrator-faculty- student ratio must stand as even to one as possible. The goal of this letter is a reform which guarantees that students have a voice which is weighed as an essential contribution to policy, without which it is incomplete. Stu­ dents must be reassured that to question policy is not to question authority, for this makes the students reactionary and not im­ portant members of a community. Edmundo Echeverria ASU Box 16133 Dan Norris ASU Box 16908 Safety versus attendance To the Editor: After the fiasco of 1996 Orientation and because of the lack of the university to estab­ lish a weather policy, it is clear that some sug­ gestions are in order. Therefore, as commuter students who are concerned about being pe­ nalized for weather- related absences, we have developed a tentative weather policy: close the university only when the AppalCART is not in operation, and/or the sidewalks on campus are not clear and safe for foot and wheelchair traffic. Further, commuter students (defined as students who do not live on an AppalCART route) and students with children should be able to apply to the Registrar to obtain spe­ cial status for weather-related absences. These pre-approved students should be al­ lowed up to three weather-related absences in addition to the existing attendance poli­ cies, which shouldn't count against them for grading purposes. Students who qualify for this special status would still be responsible for all missed class work. Appalachian may choose to designate specific days or periods of time that apply to this special absence policy, as they occur. It is imperative that Appalachian recog­ nize the situations commuter students face when the weather presents unsafe driving conditions. We are forced to choose between our grades and our lives, or our children's lives. We understand that Appalachian de­ sires to be a community-friendly organization, and feel very strongly that the lack of a weather policy increases friction between the university and the community. We know that Appalachian's policies and procedures strive not to discriminate against non-traditional students, yet we are also aware that the cur­ rent lack of a weather policy that is flexible yet structured, does cause our non-traditional students undue stress and puts our entire community at risk. I urge the administration to consider adopting the above policy, or at least address these important student and community con­ cerns. Appalachian State University cannot afford to continue the current trend of bury­ ing its head in the proverbial snow. Thank you for your immediate attention to these crucial issues.

Cole, chairof the Department of Theatre and , says the play is like a mystery. "We P>what Alan did, but we spend our time P Ajg out why he did it." A play with such dramatic subject mat[ften takes its toll on those involved, but (says the strength of the script and skill actors made the play easier in many 'Actually the hardest part for me was Lg the horse heads for the costumes," says There was also the problem of nude jfs. The play in its original form has nude jes, but Cole has decided against doing This decision was not based on a fear upsetting people. "In part, the nude scenes dd break the climax of the play," says Cole, te were in New York, I might have done lie scenes), but since we're here, I feel the tience may be so shocked by the nudity that most important aspect of the scene would .overlooked." The actors, however, had their own probjs dealing with the subject matter of the ve to struggle with pulling off the ityof this character. He is going through mt of mid-life crisis, which is obviously Killing I have never had to deal with," says hJ. Finnegan, who plays Dr. Dysart. Playing such an intense character also istssome off-stage problems. Finnegan, a whom Charlotte, says it's draining to play G a character. "It's hard to deal with. I •By have to go off by myself for a while i rehearsal." Graham, a veteran of such plays as "Arms lihe Man" and "Midsummer Night's has his own set of difficulties. "It's a more intense as far as mental preparation than some of the other plays I've done," says Graham. "It's strange, yet wonderful, to as­ sume the personality of a person who has problems dealing with reality." Graham also feels drained after rehearsal. The actors only touch on the climatic scenes in both acts one and two because as Graham says, "they take so much out of you." Kathryn C. McAuliffe, a senior from Ra­ leigh, plays Alan's mother in the play. McAuliffe, who is known by her friends for having a good sense of humor, says it's tough to have a sense of humor while doing this play. "Some of the scenes I've done 20 or 30 times and they still disturb me." One scene that especially disturbs her is when she has to slap Graham, a close friend of hers. "It's very hard to get yourself angry enough to do something like that." Beyond the acting, "Equus" presents some interesting situations for the set and costume designers. The set designer, Marc A. Hurst, a senior from Charlotte, says the turn­ table set caused a few problems. "It has to represents four different sets that, along with the lighting, must give the illusion of change." William R. Nelson, costume designer for the show, says the modern dress of the show made the job a little easier, but there were some interesting problems with costumes as well. "Some of the abstract features, like the horses, made for an interesting job." Nelson, a senior from Kernersville, says the playwright made specific instructions about the horses. "They are never to be seen as real horses." Muckina about on the Internet Colesays attempting to portray real horses would lose the mythical image that goes along with the play. "They are supposed to look like horses you might see in a dream." "Equus" also stars M. Jan Thrasher as Jill, a girl involved with Alan, and C. Bradford Fairbanks as Alan's domineering father. The play will be showfoyat Vrt^org The­ atre Feb. 21 through Feb. Z& ai'tPplm? "This play really hits on people's feeling of loneliness and their need for understand­ ing," says Graham. "A lot of the problems dealt with in this play are the result of not being Reporter understood."

The bug gets into the "ems of dorm-bound students this time of 5r and the only known cure involves goIt0 a house of remedies, where a variety Garments can be procured. Commonly as management companies, these lces °ffer relief in the form of apartments, jj* symbols of independence, freedom and stereos. Every year, there is a gradual exodus of " 8e students out of the dorms and into ®tments. This vast migration that begins uary and ends in August is for many st big step out of the womb of college into the real world. Getting an apart1 ls as close to "having your own place" ^ °st college students will get for.a while, l.ces are in ever-increasing demand. 1 e dorms, apartments are a norm in ^rdized housing for college students. If (i, 3n aPartment around here, there is ite) Vac0lle2e student (or two, or three, ^__Jiring inside. Unlike dorms, apart­ ! °f ments offer more freedom of choice in loca­ tion, roommates, price and level of stereo vol­ ume. But these choices don't last forever. Now is the time when the demand for apartments starts picking up, as any landlord will tell you. "We're getting busier earlier this year," says Teresa Osborne, a leasing agent at Holton Management, one of the three larger manage­ ment companies in Boone. Appalachian Man­ agement and PSI are the others, renting the majority of Boone apartments, although some area apartments are individually owned (con­ sult the yellow pages). Management compa­ nies cater to college students, and are like apartment shopping malls; they see over sev­ eral complexes each, do all the booking for these units, and make browsing easy for the apartment-seeker. The process goes like this, illustrated here in terms of a stereo: A potential tenant will call a company and find out what is available according to the caller's needs, for instance, strong walls that can withstand the low thun­ der of turbo sound equipment. The caller then will go to the office for more specific informa­ tion, such as a tour of the apartment to deter­ mine the best place for speakers — so that as many neighbors as possible can share the in the music. A lease is then signed, legally bind­ ing the signer to play only bass-heavy music only while neighbors are in, and voila! A ten­ year students often find themselves in need of off campus (Photos by Nathaniel Mountjoy) ant is born. But there is actually a bit more to the pro­ cess than stereo considerations (no, really). According to Harold Tilley, owner of Appala­ chian Management, there are plenty of things to know ahead of time. "Get your (roommates) together, know how many cars you have, know your budget, and know if you will bring furni­ ture," says Tilley. Having all these details worked out beforehand makes the entire pro­ cess run smoother and faster. Having all your roommates visit the company together and getting parental consent are other important steps Tilley encourages prospective tenants to take. "If you follow all these steps," says Tilley, "The company will be able to eliminate runaround." In the case of PSI, run-around has become a thing of the past with a touch-screen, com­ puterized apartment search. Here, if you can touch your television screen, then you can find an apartment. To prepare for this, you can prac­ tice on your own television, although know­ ing what you want in an apartment (size, lo­ cation, price range) would be a better use of time. One criteria all students universally have in mind is freedom. "It is a lifestyle where you can do whatever you want without the restric­ tions," says Justin W. Karkow, a sophomore from Raleigh. Karkow says the best thing about apartment life compared to the dorms is that "you can have the place to yourself rather than sharing with hundreds of roommates." Karkow found his current dwelling with the help of friends, a popular technique. Enlisting other sets of eyes and ears can aid the search for the perfect setup. Maria G. Castorio, a senior from Morganton says, "My roommates looked around for the information, and then it took us a couple of weeks before we agreed on it." But this luxury of taking time in making a decision grows more scarce with the passing weeks, as this is the beginning of open season on apartments. "Right after Christmas break there is an influx of students," says Renae Ward, president of PSI. Ward estimates their clientele to be about 98% college students, and says that although the demand is high, there should be enough to go around. "Last year there was not a deficiency," says Ward. Although companies and other landlords operate year-round, starting early is the uni­ versal piece of advice for anyone with apart­ ment fever. Determining affordability, conve­ nience in traveling to campus and lease re­ quirements (pets, parking, penalties) are other factors that should influence any search, be­ cause they will definitely influence apartment life. In the meantime, getting your goals in order and doing the research can lead you to the apartment of your dreams, or at least one with sturdy walls. What do people from Mexico, South America, Sweden and the University of Spartanburg have in common with Appala­ chian students? Mucking. Mucking is basically a chit chat line on the internet. There are many forms of mucking. One form used by Appalachian stu­ dents is Delusion, an Internet chat room. Delusion is an Internet hotline. The pro­ cess of getting on Delusion is coming on as a guest first. To become a guest, someone must introduce you. Then if you like being a guest you can get a character. A character is the name you choose for yourself on the net. After you have been introduced and you decide you want a character you must e-mail the network. The e-mail address is found at the beginning of the program. First you type in yqur real name, then your e-mail address. After that you type in your chosen character's name and your password. To process all of this information takes about 24 hours, and then you're in. One of the things a character can do in Delusion is page other characters and have private conversations on the net. Chelsea J. Rosell of Fayetteville is known as "Serriena" on Delusion. She is a fresh­ man education major who was introduced to Delusion by a friend. She said, "It's very interesting. You can get a lot of feedback." Rosell says, for example, "Serriena may say *hi,' and she may get a response from Raven,who may say 'how are you?"* One character on the net Rosell gets feedback from is "Bushidio," better known as Hartley R. Davis. Davis is also a freshman who is from Jacksonville, a computer science major who says, "It is easier for introverts to fall in love while mucking because it is not biased. You're free to say what you feel or like." The time spent mucking on the net var­ ies. Rosell and Davis spend about 20 hours a week, but Haven K. Bass, a freshman from Mocksville, spends only five hours a week on the Net. When asked if mucking is addictive, Davis said, "The people are addictive; it's the people that make mucking addictive." According to Bass, the advantages of mucking are, "Talking to people on the phone but you don't get a phone bill, there is no eye contact, and there is always complete honesty." Fbr Appalachian students who have not tried mucking, Rosell recommends "that ev eryone try it." �The Appalachian 15 peb Page 8 irUarHfc The Student Media Board Of Appalachian State University Seeks Qualified Applicants for the Positions of: f9V' Editor- in- Chief The Appalachian • .JUMP Station Manager, WASU FM for the 1996-1997 Academ Year.

They blend the "aSikely bedfellows of heavy metal Qska with touches of funk and soul. feV join meaty guitar riffs with ' oothed-out horn and bass lines on ^new album, "Receiving the Gift jof Flavor." Of the heaviest cuts, "Drunk A— hole stands out as a clear pit stirrer. It leans surprisingly into hard-core and old-school punk. "Damn That S—t Is Good pulls off an equally impressive hard-core cop. "All Washed Up" soars with lurching riffs and even has a memorable chorus that you'll be sing­ ing for days. Beware of the album's closer, "Dirty Rat" - it bites. On the lighter side of the album (though never too light) are tracks like Open All Night," which bounces be­ tween soulful verse sections and power-riffing choruses. While the music entertains on this track, the lyr­ ics fail to deliver the goods. Unfortu­ nately this is a recurring trend on Re­ ceiving the Gift. "Frying Pan" talks about hitting people with (guess what?) a frying pan. The running fugitive story in "Killing is Easy" comes off as what it is - a cliche. The pseudo-rap lyrics of "Gettin' Hectic" hardly seem sincere or satirical, just really bad. The Urge covers so much terri­ tory that it is decidedly difficult to clump them into one category. Just because they use horns doesn't mean that they are ska. Don't expect to hear pure, straight-ahead metal either. Re­ member this is a blend, and as such, defies to stand still on one style. This kind of variety is quite ef­ fective, in places. It's amazing how the horns can amplify a deranged hard-core song. It's also amazing how bad lyrics can drag down a song that otherwise has everything going for it. For the sake of hearing the mu­ sic on this album, pick it up. Better yet, see the Urge Friday in the Pub as part of the New Music Fest: you usu­ ally can't hear all the lyrics at a live show. Steve Mackay Reporter Benjamin Sanderson hates his life so much, he has decided to drink himself to death. His only chance of salvation is Sera, a Las Vegas hooker also on the path toward self-destruc­ tion. That is the premise behind "Leaving Las Vegas," a bound for Os­ car glory film that has finally made its way to Boone after playing in ma­ jor cities for the last few months. Early in the movie, we find out that Ben (Nicholas Cage) has been on a path to doom for quite some time. His wife and son have left him and his job as a Hollywood executive is gone due to his excessive drinking. We actually never learn much about Ben; we just know he's a living bottle of booze. After burning or throwing away just about everything he owns, Ben drives to Vegas where he intends to slowly kill himself. There he meets and eventually falls in love with Sera (Elizabeth Shue), a hooker who is stricken by Ben's plight and his affec­ tions for her. That's pretty much it as far as plotline goes. Instead, unlike most ultrabudget Hollywood fare, "Leaving Las Vfegas" centers on desperate, volatile human emotions and the tragedy that results from them. This is a tragic movie - Ben does not find some miracle cure or suddenly become a happy man. He completes his mission in a grueling succession of scenes where his body slowly suc­ cumbs to the untold gallons of alco­ holic poison. Only Sera finds a sliver of re­ demption. This comes only after her abusive and literally insane pimp (Julian Sands) is murdered (off screen) by vengeful gangsters and be­ ing brutally raped by a troupe of col­ lege ffat boys - an unnecessary scene. What she does with her life is left un­ answered. Not for all tastes, "Leaving Las Vegas" should be commended for hav­ ing the guts to stay on its path of hu­ man self-destruction and death. The characters are rather disdainful and not as pleasant as those in happy, proper films such as "Sense and Sen­ sibility," but they are strikingly real. Made for a measly $4 million, this film packs more of a wallop than any movie released in '95. Based on a semi-autobiographical book by John O'Brien, who committed suicide soon after the movie rights were sold, "\fegas" is brilliandy helmed by writer-di­ rector Mike Figgis. Alas, this is probably one of the many great films never to be seen by a large sector of the public (after 15 weeks in release, it has only made $12 million). The only drawback is the music score, also created by Figgis. Although it's great blues music (sung by Sting among others), it gets in the way of the story at times. The stunning wallop and heart of this film comes from Cage and Shue, in their best performances ever. This is a far cry from "Honeymoon in Ve­ gas," Cage's prior visit to sin city. This is his movie and after the great "Kiss of Death," there is no doubt he's greatly under appreciated. "Leaving Las Vegas" deserves to be cheered and toasted.

Well, not any more. Because on March 1, Valujet will begin flying four daily nonstops to Atlanta. And every seat on every flight is just $39 for travel through March 31,1996. After that date, fares as low as $39 will still be available with a 21-day advance purchase. Seats are available now. From Atlanta you'll be able to make convenient, low-fare connections to any of the 24 other U.S. cities to which Valujet flies. And you may find that the great, big airlines will lower some of their fares to those destinations now that Valujet's come to town. Which is why we say, "The fare's not fair, unless Valujet flies there." What's A Valujet, Anyway? Valujet is an Atlanta-based airline founded on the principle of offering low airfares and friendly, enthusiastic service. We don't have a First Class section, we won't serve airline food, and we can't fly you to Europe. But our low fares, positive attitude, hassle-free "ticketless" reservations system, and lack of restrictions (Valujet never requires a roundtrip purchase or a Saturday night stay) have resulted in such a high degree of customer loyalty that Valujet has been described as, "the most successful start-up in airline history." We invite you to find out why for yourself. 1-800-VALUJET Valujef Visit us on the Internet at http:/Avww.valujet.com Fare to Atlanta is good for every seat on every flight for travel through March 31,1996.

The result was familiar: Furman's Lady Pala­ dins were outmanned and outhustled, and Appalachian State hung a 96-64 loss on its Southern Conference rival. Getting off to quick starts is the trademark of the ASU women's basketball team, and the Mountaineers continued along that vein on Monday. The Lady Apps (17-5,10-0 Southern) made 25 of 34 first half shots to take a 53-34 lead. Hinton scored all but six of her seasonhigh 26 in the opening half. Four other Appalachian players reached double figures in scoring, led by Hinton and freshman Beth Schoolfield, who had 14 point on the evening. The trio of Melissa Davis, Maaret Artosalo and Leigh Jones poured in 22 of their combined 35 before halftime. On a night the Paladins (8-15, 4-7) were dominated in nearly every category, Furman found a bright spot in Julie Johnson. The fresh­ man guard scored 19 points for the shorthanded Paladins, who dressed nine players for the game. Shannon Spencer dished out nine assists in 22 minutes, and ASU's all-time steals leader picked the pockets of Furman's guards four times. Reserve point guard Cara Sims had five assists in relief, while first-year forward Shonta Rowe scored five points and collected eight boards. "Our freshmen have come in and gotten good minutes," said App Assistant Coach Barbie Breedlove of recent games. "That's un­ usual for freshmen here at Appalachian." The Mountaineers are four games away from becoming the first women's basketball team in the conference's 12-year history to fin­ ish undefeated in league play. Coach Linda Robinson's 1986-87 and 1988-89 squads were two of seven teams to make it through the Southern Conference schedule with only one loss. "I don't think there's any danger of us peaking too soon," said Coach Breedlove. "We gave our players a couple-of days off. We need fresh legs and fresh minds (for the remainder of the season)." Appalachian State faces East Tennessee State on Saturday at 3:30 in Varsity Gym, and Marshall at 5:15 Monday evening. The Moun­ taineers take to the road for their last two regu­ lar season games, after which will be an eightgame home stand. •• t Andreia Hinton goes up for a shot over a Davidson defender last week. Hinton finished with 26 points against Furman on Monday evening. (Photo by Jason Wilkinson) ASU Indoor Track competes at Kent Duals David Willis Sports Editor Appalachian senior John Moss qualified for the NCAA's by clearing a height of 7' 1" in the high jump, and senior Jason Gibson set a Mountaineer school record in the 200 meter hurdles with a time of 24.73 as the ASU men's indoor track placed third and the women's team finished second in the Kent Duals. Moss joined Robert "Poose" Johnson in qualifying for the NCAA's in March. Johnson sat out the triple jump due to ankle injuries, but competed in other events. Moss also fin­ ished seventh in the long jump. Johnson finished second in the 200 meter dash with a time of 22.23 and fifth in the 55 meter dash with a time of 6.52. Gibson ended with a pair of second place finishes, including his record setting 200 meter hurdles run. He also came in second in the 55 meter hurdles with a time of 7.66. In the 800 meter dash, Jon Austin finished fourth with a time of 1:54.92 and Bob Mahoney finished eighth with a time of 1:58.18. Raymond Brewer captured a third place finish in the 200 meter hurdles with a time of 25.12 and a sixth place finish in the 55 meter hurdles with a time of 7.78. In the pole vault, Todd Poremba recorded a height of 16' 2" and Jeff Fitzgerald finished at 15' 2", placing them third and fifth, respec­ tively. In the throwing events, Rich Latta finished second in the 35 lb. weight and Chris Cockerham finished fourth. Latta also finished fourth in the shot put. Finally in the mile, Judd Sarver recorded a fourth place finish. For the Lady Apps, Nikki Harris and Trice Roundtree both placed in all three of their events. Roundtree won the 55 meter hurdles with a time of 8.34, placed second in the 200 meter hurdles with a time of 28.85, and finished fifth in the triple jump at 34' 11".

Also in the 55 meter dash, Taiisha Goins placed second with a time of 7.21 and Karen Houston finished fourth at 7.37. Houston also finished eigth in the 200 meter dash at 27.24. Juanita Welford grabbed a third place fin­ ish in the 400 meters at 59.58 and a sixth place finish in the 200 meters. In other events, Susan Poole and Michelle Simmons finished seventh and eighth in the 800 meters and Jenny Chase and Christina Olsen placed third and sixth in the mile. Jennifer Vest placed third in the 200 meter hurdles and sixth in the 55 meter hurdles. Faith Ninivaggi also placed eighth in the 200 meter hudles. Ayokka Green placed second in the shot put with a distance of 46' 1" and Erica Bahry finished eighth in the 20 lb. weight. Lisa Robert finished seventh in the long jump and seventh in the high jump. Gibson Roundtree Moss Harris Goins The Lady Apps also placed third in the distance medley. "We were very pleased with the progress of many of the athletes in this meet," said ASU Head Coach John Weaver, following the meet. "We have a very young team which expe­ rienced its first long trip and first scored meet. The Kent depth and experience was a good educational experience for us. They certainly are the kind of team we aspire to be in the future, again. Our team needs for some upperclassman leadership to rise up and lead these young women to the Southern Confer­ ence Championship next week." The track members will be competing again this weekend at either UNC or Clemson. Good luck Apps! �l3lachian 15 February 1996 Page 13 Itommy Morrison; the fight of his life j^e Daniels distant Sports Editor Sports Commentary y0u probably know by now, if picked up a sports page or ied ESPN in the last few days, ryweight fighter Tommy Morrison 'l*en tested positive for having the virus which causes AIDS. The 27-year-old boxer was schedi to fight journeyman Arthur ithers Saturday night when he was med just hours before the bout , he had been suspended by the da Athletic Commission. At that he did not know why he was besuspended. It was not until later he found out he had tested posi?e for the AIDS virus. M ve There are a few things different about this latest incident of a wellknown athlete contracting HIV than the last time it happened with Magic Johnson. For one thing, there can be no controversy about whether Morrison can still fight as there was when Magic retired, (then ironically made his comeback just before this incident). Clearly Morrison can not fight again, nor should he be allowed to. Boxing is just too bloody a sport to let some­ one with HIV into the ring. The chances of a fighter getting AIDS from another boxer in the ring have never been figured out, but I think it is safe to say that it is more likely to happen in the ring than on a basketball court. The second major difference about Morrison's and Johnson's con­ traction of the virus is when it hap­ pened. In 1992, when Magic shocked the basketball world with his an­ nouncement that he had Hiy AIDS awareness was just starting to pick up momentum. There were still many people at that time, including Johnson, who knew very little about the disease and its dangers. Today, no one can plead igno­ rance about AIDS. Awareness of this virus is worldwide, and even the most out of touch people now know how it is transmitted. The fact that Morrison chose to go ahead and lead the lifestyle that he did, knowing the dangers that it could bring, was just plain stupid on his part. What I'm trying to say is that Morrison should not be made a hero just because he is going to die. The fact is that he, like Johnson, made a bad choice - and now has to pay for it with his life. Hopefully, Morrison will try to make the most of his remaining time on this earth. He has the chance to educate people and prevent them from making the same mistakes that he did. If he did this, he would still be one out of millions of people who made a stupid mistake that cost them their lives, but at least he would be doing something worthwhile with it. Hinton Southern Conference Women's BasketballStandings continued from page 12 Hinton feels that this love draws the players together The team is very close on and off the court "On the floor, we know what each other's going to do. Off the floor, we can talk to each other be­ cause we know the struggles of being college athletes." When she graduates from Ap­ palachian, Hinton hopes to pursue a career in social work. "I love working with people. I'm just a people person. My friends say Tm too nice at times because I'm one of those if you need anything,come see me type of people." Her basketball career will end when she leaves Appalachian, but she feels her priorities are straight. "With education you have some­ thing to fall back on, but it shouldn't be that way, it should be number one. If you do well in school you can do whatever you want." Conference Team W L Pet.

"It really isn't anyone's fault and everyone is working their hardest to deal with the inconvenience."

An emergency purchase order has been asked for by the departments of residence life and housing, in order to rush the replace­ ment of the old fire panel. Reid hopes Sim­ plex will be able to replace the old system within the next two weeks. • White Hall fire alarm panels were heavily damaged by water Monday, February 8. The panel is still not in working order, and is not expected to be for two weeks.

According to Burleson, ASG decides on which topics to move forward on as a state issue among all the universities. He said the president of ASG is also a member of the Board of Governors. This gives the organization a say in state legislature. Appalachian's SGA sent three del­ egates along with Burleson: Jimmy Swanson, a freshman, off-campus senator; Jewel Irish, a freshman Belk senator; and Heather Mitten, a junior Eggers senator. One issue ASG looked at was increas­ ing voter turnout on college campuses. Burleson said the state-wide voter registration drive will take place on Appalachian's campus March 11-18.

Appalachian's rep­ resentatives will be conducting resear ch to take back to ASG in February on how to increase retention of Arican-American students. The issue of state appropriations deals with the fairness of distrubition among the universities. "A lot of schools believe they don't receive equal equity because they are historically black," said Swanson. Research is currently being done to either prove or dis­ prove this claim, and it will also be presented at the next ASG meeting. The last issue discussed was the com­ parison of the cost of food service programs at the 16 universities. Each SGA will research the issues at their individual universities and bring their findings to the Feb. 23 meeting of ASG. Alumni gives 238-acre tract to Appalachian Special to the Appalachian A Charlotte businessman who spent years buying back his grandparents' long-ago sold property has donated the 238-acre tract to Appalachian State University Bob Gilley, owner of Gilley Financial Associates Ltd., and an Appalachian graduate, has given the land, valued at $326,000, to the university so it can be maintained as a natural setting. The land runs a mile along the New River in Todd, located about 20 minutes from campus. It will be used by the biology and anthropology departments. The university's early plans call for establishing an outdoor interpretive museum on human prehistory and conducting other scientific study and research. A desire to protect the land from de­ velopment and preserve family history led Gilley to purchase the area where he spent many childhood summers. After the death of her second husband, Gilley's grandmother, Chesea Miller, who used to deliver Todd's mail on horseback in the 1930s, sold most of the land to three other families. In 1969, Gilley began buying back the parcels. It was not easy since each parcel had multiple owners, and Gilley had to persuade each person to sell. "It was no small job. It took determination, but I decided to do it," Gilley said. He had repurchased all the land by 1972. The decision to donate the land to Appalachian followed years of developers' at­ tempts to have Gilley build houses, a golf course, and even a hunting preserve there. None of those ideas appealed to him. "I didn't want to sell it, but I couldn't take care of it... (and) I knew the biology de­ partment was looking for land," Gilley said. "I'm happy it won't be developed and that wild animals will have a safe haven." He knows his late grandmother would approve of his donation. "She was a nurturer of wildlife, and I know hunting was disturbing to her," he said. The university will post the land as a natural preserve with no hunting allowed. Biology and anthropology faculty will assess the land this spring to determine exactly how it can be used in laboratory and field study next fall. Dr. Donald Sink, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, said the land offers many characteristics that the university has wanted for expanding its outdoor teaching. "It's within reachable distance from campus, to run classes on a daily basis, and it is a wonderful slope from stream level to the top of hills," Sink said. University-owned land benefits stu­ dents' education, Sink said. "You talk about things in the classroom, but in the field you can touch them. This leads to research you can't duplicate in a laboratory." Dr. Tom Whyte, anthropology profes­ sor, said he has found evidence that early hu­ mans lived on the property, and he plans to conduct more research and build structures resembling the homes ot the area's earliest settlers. He hopes to take public groups to the site for day or weekend visits. Dr. Doug Meikle, biology department chairman, called Gilley's gift "extremely gen­ erous." "I was pleased he (donated the prop­ erty) because he could have just developed it," he said. Gilley has made financial contribu­ tions to Appalachian in the past, including gifts to the School of Music Endowment. He estab­ lished the Graydon and Daisy Eggers English Scholarship, the W. Hoyt Safrit Endowed Mu­ sic Scholarship and the Nicholas and Elsie Erneston Endowed Music Scholarships. Gilley earned both a bachelor's and a master's degree from Appalachian. Seventeen seats open in SGA Brad Wilkinson Reporter With another semester well under way, the Student Government Association (SGA) has 17 senate seats open. Ten seats are available for students on-campus and seven seats for students living off-campus. The resident halls that need rep­ resentatives are Appalachian Heights, Bowie, Coltrane, East, Eggers, Frank, Hoey, Justice, Winkler and Mountaineer Apartments. Although these seats remain open, SGA Vice President Robyn Martin is confident they will be filled promptly. According to Mar­ tin, numerous petitions to gain induction have been requested by students and she continues to urge others to do so. Though these seats remain open, Martin cites no one cause for their vacancy. She believes the cause to be conflict with stu­ dent schedules. However, Martin said "until we turn over our gavel next semester, this or­ ganization will be moving forward." In order to become a member of the senate, the individual must be a current stu­ dent of Appalachian. Students must also gain 100 signatures from students in the residence hall where they live and wish to represent. Students residing off-campus must collect 100 signatures as well, but may do so from any person enrolled at the university. In order to ensure prospective delegates are stu­ dents of Appalachian, student identification cards are being checked. If elected, senate delegates are obli­ gated to perform specific duties and responsi­ bilities. Each member must attend all meet­ ings of both the student senate and his com­ mittee. Senators must attend all meetings of their residence hall's student association to inform constituents of senate business. One hour in the SGA office must be served per week and interaction with constituents must be made on a regular basis. All representatives must also maintain a grade point average of 2.2 and can acquire no more than three ab­ sences per semester from SGA meetings. is published with support from Appalachian's Center for Student Involvement and Leadership.

The Lady Apps basketball program is well on its way to another 20-win season, something the men's program has not done since the 1988-89 season. The Lady Apps are also undefeated in the conference and well on their way to their fifth Southern Conference Title in nine years. The men's team has not won a Southern Confer­ ence Title since 1979 and has not been to the NCAA Tournament since that same year. The women's team on the other hand won conference titles in 1987,1988, 1990 and 1991. They also advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 1990 and 1991. The Lady Apps fin­ ished 19-9 last season and are currently 16-5 overall and 9-0 in the conference. Linda Robinson has her .quad playing well and receiving national recognition due to their success, not because of who they are losing to this week. The Lady Apps have received votes for the Top 25 polls this season and are currently one of the top 35 teams in the country, yet only average about 200 people for home games. The men's squad currently at 6-15 over­ all and 2-7 in the conference is drawing about 2,100 a night. It is a real travesty to see such injustice. Many people complain that women's sports are not as ex­ citing as men's, but when was the last time you actu­ ally watched a women's game? The only real differ­ ence is that women do not dunk, but if you have been watching, the men's team is not exactly a high wire act either. The women's athletic programs on this campus include: soccer, golf, tennis, basketball, field hockey, indoor track, outdoor track, cross country and vol­ leyball. While a few of these are fledgling teams, their success is growing with their experience, but unfortunately, their support has not grown at the same rate. The men's programs do not spend any more time or effort in their respective sports and do not prac­ tice or play any harder than the women, yet all the attention and focus of the university goes to the men. It has not been until recently that any women's teams have received any campus promotion and would still not be receiving any if they were not doing it them­ selves. You may have noticed the flyers around campus promoting the women's basketball team's current home stand, but probably did not pay too much at­ tention to them. It seems that with every group and organization on this campus protesting something or supporting some cause, that they would start a little closer to home and raise some support for our women's teams. At a time when this campus is tout­ ing diversity, you would think the university would do more to show support for women's sports. It is a real shame that the only two teams that you hear about are the football team and the men's basketball team. The campus got behind and sup­ ported the football program when it was performing well, why does it not support the women while they are experiencing the same success.

How about your gas station attendant or the sales clerk at K-Mart? No? You should. These people are the backbone of our great nation, taking on the chores and responsibilities that "proper" America would never dream of doing. Yet, these people are paid miserable wages and quite often treated with harsh malcontent and rudeness. These jobs are often called "menial." And who, prey tell, are the holders of these jobs? "Menial People." This is just another example of publicly showing disrespect for the minimum wage set. That is why it's my ultimate fantasy (besides the one with Geena Davis and Michelle Pfeiffer) to have a national requirement that every citizen work at least one year in the public service sector. The paid assignments could range from being a waitress at The Waffle House to running the popcom machine at the local multiplex, or becoming the janitor at an office building. 1 know this plan sounds rather socialistic, but 1 tend to think of it as more of a wake-up call to the snobs of American society to inject a little respect into their daily dosage of handing out quips and advice to workers. I'm sure you're familiar with such great anecdotes as "What do you mean you're out of fish. Can't you go in the back and find some for me?" or "I'd like to order a well-done New York Strip, but can you make it snappy. I have to be someplace in half-an-hour." Over a five year period in the food service industry (that's fancy code for flipping burgers and cleaning out food-encrusted trashcans), I have more than completed my share of required service to the public. 1 would regularly work six hours straight in a dishroom and/or cook for a hundred people in one hour. Now, Fm not trying to milk sympathy from readers. I've done worse and seen people do far more work than myself. I'm just pointing out situations that a customer should consider being in themselves before they complain about how somebody else is doing it. During those many years behind the register, I had my share of run-ins with inept, disgruntled and plain vi­ cious members of the public. Once, after telling a customer we were out of ribeyes, he threw his drink at me and swore as if I had personally eaten all of the steaks just to tick him off. I often wonder, if that guy had been in my shoes, would he have liked wearing iced tea? Probably not. That's the reason behind my great scheme. Mavbe once every member of society, from the dirt poor fella (who's probably already working the job) to the Beverly Hills aristocrat who shuns any and all dirt, learns what a real work day is like there would never be another case of "douse the cashier with cold tea."

I don't know the first thing about the way the government works outside of what I learned in my ninth grade civics class. What I do know when I see it, however, is an overt act by both Congress and the President. Six days ago I sent the President e-mail urging him to reassess the Telecommunications Bill before signing it. I said the Communication Deceny Act attached to the bill would take away free speech over the Internet if it passed. Apparently my message, along with the thousands of oth­ ers he received that day, went unnoticed. Thursday, President Clinton spoke about the bill he was about to sign into law. "Consumers will receive the benefits of lower prices, better quality and greater choices in their telephone and cable services, and they will con­ tinue to benefit from a diversity of voices and viewpoints in radio, television and the print media," he said. What about diversity on the Net? How can it exist within a medium once it is censored and otherwise limited in content? The Communication Deceny Act regulates what a per­ son can transmit over the Internet. It was written to pro­ tect children from "indecent" transmissions of information in text and graphic form over the Internet. It makes trans­ mission of information about abortion, sex and "indecent" topics through e-mail illegal. The government said it doesn't know exactly what will be determined to be "indecent", but that abortion and pornography are definitely two things that don't belong on the net. Attorney General Janet Reno said she doesn't know how the government will determine what is inde­ cent. How can the government create a law that doesn't even clarify what it sets out to regulate? Sanctions for violations of the Act have been set. A fine of $250,000 and jail terms of as long as five years are possible punishments for anyone who makes "indecent" material available to children in a public forum. Simply said, this means links from a homepage to sources of pornographic photography or information about abortion are illegal. It also means that e-mail messages are going to be monitored, legally, by Internet service pro­ viders to insure children don't get e-mail with explicit lan­ guage or "indecent" material. I agree that children need guidance and should be supervised when surfing the Net. What I don't think is right is the limiting of an adult's right to read and say what­ ever they wish when using their computer. I guess Con­ gress didn't care that they were voting away adults' rights when this bill passed with flying colors. If free speech is to be taken away, the government needs to do it the lawful way- through amendment to the Constitution. By tacking on this Act to the Bill, the gov­ ernment has snuck yet another ridiculous law into power. Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole addressed the bill, saying, "It will propel our country into the next century." If this kind of communist regulation is what we can expect from our government in the future, we are in big trouble. What's next? Regulation of what newspapers and maga­ zines can run? This new series of laws isn't being given the proper amount of attention. Besides computer companies and people who are really into the Net, hardly anyone has voiced their thoughts about the Decency Act. Doesn't it disturb anyone else that the government has taken it into their hands to determine what is appro­ priate for people to see? I will never understand why they can't figure out that it is when you call attention to some­ thing you wish to censor, the more attractive it becomes to those you wish to shelter from it. Flat tax boosts economy John Nolte Columnist The flat tax will simplify the tax system but more im­ portantly it will lower taxes which historically expands the economy and, believe it or not, increases tax revenues. First a warning: If you're a close minded mean-spir­ ited class warrior who uses psuedo- compassion as an ex­ cuse to tax the rich but are actually motivated by hate and jealousy, I suggest you go back to your Utne Reader. Facts are to liberalism what sunlight is to vampires, nei­ ther can stand the exposure. Years ago a very popular recently elected President stood before the Economic Club to explain why taxes should be lowered. He said, "It is a paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high and tax revenues are too low, and the soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the rates now." Then he lowered tax rates which expanded the economy, created jobs and increased trea­ sury revenues 16 percent. This allowed him to boost de­ fense spending to a percentage of GDP never seen before or since. The year was 1962 and the President was John F. Kennedy. Kennedy, like Reagan understood that tax rates have no effect on tax revenues. In the 1920's taxes were slashed, including the top rate from 73 percent to 25 percent and like the '60s, tax revenues grew, this time a staggering 61 percent. But how can you lower taxes and raise revenues? To quote someone who doesn't understand this: "It's the economy, stupid." Since the introduction of the income tax, top rates have varied from four percent to 90 per­ cent, but revenues have only grown when the economy did. If you want to expand the economy, history tells us to lower taxes. There is a point of diminished returns with tax rates whereas you can only tax so much money out of the economy before it effects economic growth to a point that people make less money and pay less taxes. The more money people have, the more they spend, and spending creates jobs (taxpayers) and profits for corpora­ tions (revenues). A flat tax properly uses the tax code to raise optimum revenues. Presently, the tax code is a po­ litical tool of the left to punish the rich and ride the trojan class warhorse into office. So now you're wondering if tax decreases aren't just a return to the 1980's. Well, I hope so. Look past the cliches the media, politicians, and the academics are try­ ing to brainwash you with and into the facts. Cliche: Tax decreases only benefit the rich. Fact: Between 1980 and 1992 the US Census Bureau reported that total tax savings were distributed as follows: The poorest 20 percent pay no taxes, the second poorest 20 percent saved 37.8 percent, the middle 20 percent saved 21.5 percent, the second richest 20 percent saved 20.9 per cent, the richest 20 percent saved 9.3 percent and the rich­ est 1% saved only 7.9%. The poorer you were, the more of your own money you kept in the '80s. Cliche: The deficit was caused by tax cuts. Fact: The US Treasury reports that between 1981and 1989 yearly tax revenues surged from $550 billion to $991 billion. An after inflation increase of 28 percent. The deficit was caused by a democratically controlled congress outspending revenue increases and a President unwilling to fight them. How in the world liberals get away with blaming Reagan for draconian budget cuts and the deficit is beyond me. Reagan did cut some programs which is the half truth liberals use, but one of Reagan's failures was allowing a $165 billion expansion of overall poverty programs while in office. Believe me conservatives would be ecstatic if this lie were true. Cliche: Tax cuts are a windfall for the rich. Fact: Each tax cut has actually increased the percent-, age of overall taxes paid by the rich. In 1921 the richest 20 percent paid 44 percent of all taxes and the tax cuts increased that to 78 percent. After Kennedy's cuts, the nc paid 18 percent of all taxes up from 15 percent, hi te '80s, the richest 10 percent picked up 48 percent of t national tab until tax cuts increased that to 57 percentThe richest 1 percent had their burden increase from percent to 28 percent. .. These tax cuts also decreased poverty, slashed in ^ tion (the cruelest tax on the poor), unemployment an interest rates by two-thirds all while expanding economy for 96 continuous months which has never . million pened Fv"vu u"""6 during peacetime ui our history.

Stop by fa* ffOUA UttUUf... �The Appalachi Living alongside nature Leah Rubin Reporter The average Appalachian student lives in an apartment, dorm or house, but Scott G. Temple and Diyakaya Diana are not your av­ erage students. That's because they live in a teepee. Temple and Diana are both juniors from Florida. They built a teepee with the help of a friend. The couple started living in the tee­ pee as an experiment. Temple and Diana both feel they learned how to survive by following the example of Native Americans. "Living in a teepee is liv­ ing alongside with nature," says Temple. The couple lives with very few frustra­ tions. However, as college students, they of­ ten feel the pinch when trying to maintain their studies. "No matter how hard it seems though, it's worth it," says Diana. They use candles for light and a wood stove for heat. They share their teepee with two kittens, so the atmosphere is very homey. Both agree that the hardest part of living in a teepee is the remoteness of it. Every time they leave, they realize it will take a while to get back. Although their style of life would seem inconvenient to some, there are many posi­ tive aspects to living with nature. "The gap between the union of nature and people is so wide that people can't even fathom the idea of living without electricity," says Temple. He feels that people demand too much out of technology. "I don't want to sound biocentric about it, but nature is meant for our use." By living outdoors, Temple and Diana prove it is still possible to live a "normal" life and be happy. Their kittens help keep rodents away. Their neighbors provide them with water when they run out and the forest pro­ vides wood for heat and cooking. During the tough winter season they manage to survive without too much hassle. Scott G. Temple and DiyakayToj J (left) live in a teepee (below) and pattern much of their life on early Native Americans. The teepee is heated by a woodstove (above). (Photos by Leah Rubin). If the wood stove isn't warm enough, they have plenty of blankets to bundle up with. And when they have trouble with leaks, they use tarps to cover their beds and books. Another aspect of living outdoors is being aware of animals in their surroundings. "Ev­ erything that surrounds us is home," says Temple. "Our idea of wild is no more than a giant garden we created." "When it rains or snows, we are always aware," says Diana. "Most people who live indoors don't realize the weather conditions until they get up in the morning." Although they don't have all of the socalled luxuries that those of us who live in­ doors have, Temple says, "Luxury won't stop you from having a positive or negative emo­ tion." Diana says, "We really don't have any hassles. We have no mirrors to see how we look. We just get up and drive to school." Both say, "We make luxury out of nature." • Although it is often Appalachian is rich in myth. Rebecca Goodhart Reporter When most people think about legends they think of something like "The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow." However, most Appalachian students don't realize that Appalachian itself is rich in legend and folklore. "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is a story that has been passed down from generation to generation - even Walt Disney has capital­ ized on it. But the legends at Appalachian aren't quite as famous. Stories told by peers don't always seem to have the same impor­ tance connected to a legend. Stories are a part of the life here at Appa­ lachian, but since they aren't read in a book and don't come from far away places, they aren't always seen as legends. People don't realize that these stories have been passed down from generation to generation for years. However, legends usually spring from some distorted kernel of truth. So, who knows, maybe the legend that East hall is haunted isn't too far off base. Campus legends fall roughly into two categories: those that are academic and those that are a part of student life. Some of the academic legends commonly heard but rarely recognized are the 4.0-deadroommate rule and the 10 and 15- minute rule. The 4.0-dead-roommate rule is one that gets passed down to each freshman class. The story goes, if your roommate dies during the school year you auto­ matically get a 4.0 aver• age for the remainder of I the school year. * The 10 to 15- minute rule goes like this: if your professor is 10 minutes late, you can leave without suffering any repercussions, but if your professor is a doctor you're supposed to wait 15 minutes. Don't kill your roommate just yet; Bob Sneed, the executive assistant to the chancel­ lor, says neither of these stories are school policy. History professor Timothy Silver says an­ other legend often heard is "professors can be put on probation for flunking too many stu- *" ft dents." However, Silver says the story is to­ tally unfounded. Sliver also related a legend that started in the '60s. Apparently, some students felt Var­ sity gym was a missile site and if the Russians ever attacked the United States, the top of the gym would roll back and missiles would lift out of the top of the gym. Once again, this isn't true, but it has been passed down from class to class. While the origin of this legend is unsure, it is possible that it started because the gym once housed military supplies tor ROTC. The second type of legend involves sto­ ries that deal with everyday life. Most of these stories have to do with the supernatural. One such story concerns a ghost in Coffey Residence Hall. The ghost lives in room 304 and does fun things like turn the sink ona off and plays with the burners on the sic Coffey used to be professers' apartments' fore it was a dorm. One version of the sic has Max pegged as the ghost of a proffe who died in his room. There is also a good story related toll Greer. A couple of music majors were abo to graduate. One boy's music profesfl flunked him as a personal vendetta. The i> decided to go home to Wilmington. Ho ever, his girlfriend was going to give a pn recital in I.G Greer the next night, so he pro ised to come see her play.

During the opening 20 minutes, senior Karolina Karlqvist was per­ fect on three attempts from behind the arc. The Wildcats (10-9,4-5) stayed close early, trailing 9-8 with over five minutes gone. But in the next minute, a three-pointer by Leigh Jones, followed by Melissa Davis' hook from close range, gave Appalachian State a six-point lead. The Mountaineers outscored Davidson 33-16 from that point until halftime, as Davis hit eight of her 11 points. Appalachian State held a 29-point lead midway through the second half, and Davidson scored 17 in three minutes to pull closer. Coach Linda Robinson's Lady Apps used a timeout to regroup, and the bench helped ASU climb back to a 27-point advantage. Shonta Rowe's eight points and eight boards represented the recently impn ved play of ASU's freshman class. With center Andreia Hinton resting in the midst of a 17-point, 10rebound, and 4-assist afternoon,Tamara Stewart and Beth Schoolfield combined for a dozen points. Senior Kristen Ferrucci scored 16 of her 20 points in the second half for the Lady Wild­ cats, doing so without missing a shot in the entire game. In twenty minutes on the floor, Ferrucci hit 8-of-8 from the field and made all four of her free throws. Ferrucci's teammates, however, managed to shoot just 32 percent in the first half. Fresh­ man Kerry Brown, Davidson's leading scorer, did not play, and Jennie Vanlerberghe (9.6 points per game) went zero for eight from the field to finish with one point. The Mountaineers were in a giving mood Saturday, collecting 18 assists as a team.

He at tributes the interest to an older brother who also wrestled i high school. Clark also admit" ted that having five 0lder brothers kept him "scrappy" ^ of his life. Wrestling with older brothers wasn't Clark's only ! workout in high school. He! also played football. By his' mid-senior year, Clark was faced with college scholarship oh' fers in both wrestling and football. "I wasn't as big as I needed to be in football," said Clark. "I think I made the right choice "' His wrestling career hovered ever his football career when h{! finished high school All-American and won the state champh! onship 42-0. When asked about why he made the decision to come to Appalachian, Clark simply said, "Coach is a good recruiter. ! The only action Clark saw his freshman year was from the stands. He sustained injuries in both knees and had to have surgery. Now Clark has had his fill of college wrestling. No, ho doesn't want to quit, but he has experienced the ups and downs of being a college athlete. "College athletics is so demanding; Training is strenuous. We have practice every morning at 6:30 and again at 4:00 in the afternoon. It usually lasts for three and a half to four hours." He quickly added, "I've never regretted it.

"I've been suprised about my good grades in college. I've learned that good grades mean effort and time," he said. ; Effort and time are required in wrestling too. "Wrestling is all you've got for seven minutes," said Clark, "It's technique, intensity, and aggression." \} Appalachian junior guard Melissa Davis drives to the hoop for two against Davidson on Saturday.

Davidson had three players score over 20 points, while Appalachian was again led by Livingston with 22. The loss drops the Mountaineers to 2-7 in the Southern Conference and 6-15 overall. ASU will continue their road swing with a game at Marshall, then return home to face East Tennessee State on Saturday in Varsity Gym at 1:00 p.m. Last Thursday night against Furman, the Appalachian State men's basketball team did some­ thing they hadn't done in the last six outings, they won a game. The team then went on to extend their road losing streak with a loss Saturday at Davidson. Appalachian was hosting Furman in a game that was originally scheduled for the previous weekend but had postponed due to snow until last Thursday. The Mountain­ eers certainly made the most out of the extra practice time. || ASU kept the Paladins at bay in the first half by not let­ ting them put together a big run early like the Mountain­ eers have done for many teams. The Apps were able to rake a six point lead into the locker room at half time, due to good defense and sophomre Kareem Livingston who had 13 points and five boards in the half. In the second half, Furman came out strong and quickly knotted the score at 43-43. It wasn't until Appala­ chian broke a 48 all tie that they were able to pull ahead of the Paladins for good. The team led by anywhere from six to 13 points the rest of the way, to Finish up with a 93-78 win. The strongest perfor­ mance of any Mountaineer by far was that of Livingston, who finished with 31 points, eight rebounds and three blocks. The rest of the bur­ den was spread pretty evenly between the rest of the team with five other Mountaineers scoring in double figures. On Saturday the Apps traveled to Davidson to take on the first place Wildcats. As was the case earlier this sea­ Mountaineer Kareem Livingston throws one down against Furman on Thursday son, Davidson came away evening.

The Mountaineer grapplers rebounded after losing their first conference match to UTChattanooga on Jan. 27. Sophomore Tony Hairston helped put ASU out in front early as he easily won a majority decision over his Bulldog foe at 118 lbs. Hairston won the match 13-3 and improved his record to 19-10 on the year. In the next bout, freshman Martell Armstrong won his second match of the year at 126 lbs., repeating Hairston's performance with a majority decision 13-4. Unfortunately in the 134 lb. class, fresh­ man Ross Hawks, seeing his first action of his Mountaineer career, dropped the match, 9-3.

Damon Stoudamire said, before the NBA Rookie game on Saturday, that you have to take advantage of the weekend, because you might not ever get invited back. Stoudamire did just that in the Rookie All-Star game. He finished with 19 points and 11 assists, but the "point guard" put up almost twice as many shots as any of his East team­ mates.

The 31-year-old rookie was limited due to a back in­ jury. minute and a half. The past few contests just have not brought the excitement of the former Jordan and Dominique years. Needless to say, if I was disappointed at home, imagine how the fans in at­ tendance felt. White Men Can Jump! What's in a name? Brent Barry sent shock waves around the nation with his electrify­ ing free throw line dunks and walked away with the NBA Slam Dunk Con­ test. Detroit's Grant Hill and Utah's Jamie Watson sat out of the contest with injuries and Philadelphia's Jerry Stackhouse was afraid to take his skirt off, leaving the contest wide open; and Barry took advantage. The contest is in serious need of returning to the old showdown format instead of the current style, where you get as many attempts as you want in a Apparently a lot. Following the NBA All-Star game on Sunday, Michael Jordan, in his first sill-star game since his baseball furlough, was named game MVP Jordan, the best basketball player in the world, forgot what the whole weekend was about. The fans. Jor­ dan was brilliant when he chose to play, but elected to sit out the entire fourth quarter. Coach Phil Jackson turned to Jor­ dan and Pippen in the fourth quarter and told them one of them had to go back in the game. Jordan told Pippen that since he was a couple of years older than Pippen, Pippen should go back in. Just like the Rookie game, the MVP Award was stolen. Shaquille O'Neal finished with 25 points and 10 rebounds, and more importantly, fin­ ished the game. Jordan told reporters after the game that he did not want to over­ shadow anyone and that he was sur­ prised that he won it. Jordan should have been apologizing to the fans, not Shaq. Appropriately, the Texas fans booed Jordan from the court and hopefully made him realize that even he can be humbled. The All-Star weekend is supposed to be a collection of the best players in the world. TWo nights of non-stop, high flying action, but has turned into two nights of conflicting egos and pouting millioiiaiies.

(Photo by Aaron Fein) Dr. Gregory S. Blimling, vice chan­ cellor for student development, addressed the issue of search and seizure at the Student Gov­ ernment Association (SGA) meeting on Feb. 6. Blimling said Appalachian has had a drug policy for a long time, but the university felt a need for change in the policy due to in­ creased drug use in the residence halls . Un­ der the old policy, the university could seek a warrant for contraband and the arrest of a stu­ dent. Blimling also said he could be called to issue a warrant. Blimling said the university has ex­ perienced an increasing problem with drugs over the last two years. He explained the data came from random drug testing of athletes and surveys done on high school students, and was told Appalachian would only see an increase in drug use in the coming years. Blimling said the results of a recent student body survey shows "a significant in­ crease in the number of students using con­ trolled substances." The survey also showed more freshmen and sophomores are using drugs than juniors and seniors. He said there were 44 cases of drug use in the first semester of this school year. "The drug policy is very clear. If you want to use drugs at Appalachian, you better have your bags packed because you won't be staying," said Blimling. Blimling said the idea for the policy change came about sometime in November, but by the time a draft of the policy was written it was exam week. He said it was decided not to interrupt exam period with the issue. Blimling said the passing of the policy was brought before Campus Resident Student Association (CRSA) because the policy only applies to residence halls. "This is usually how a policy is passed," said Blimling. "If, for ex­ ample, a policy concerns Greek organizations, it is brought before IFC." SGA senators felt they were over­ looked by the university and were taken by surprise by the new search and seizure policy. Forty of the senator seats are filled by repre­ sentatives of each residence hall. According to Blimling, reaction to the change in policy has been mixed, but most is very positive. Blimling added that in the first two weeks of the policy there were 14 referrals to Judicial Affairs. He also said there were three searches. In two of those searches the student's consent was given to search the room, while one did not consent and drugs were found in each of the cases. If drugs are found in a resident's room the case is referred to Appalachian's office of judicial affairs. Blimling said criminal charges are not as effective as handling the cases through the university. "This (the policy) is not to give them a criminal record," said Blimling. "The university's job is to change behavior, not punish the students." "The policy is flexible. If we can clarify the policy, we are open to (doing) that," said Blimling. He also said there will prob­ ably be a number of revisions. An open forum dealing with students' involvement in university decision making, sponsored by SGA, is scheduled for Monday, Feb. 12 at 7 p.m. in the Pub. campaign plans for Mission of Appalachian 2000 unveiled wary endowments Renee Cagle News Editor son Pennell )licv istant News Editor Appalachian's centennial campaign J 996-2001 may include an endowment to,jg I $2,560,000 for improvements to the lijj $ Si)id Student Government Association . ; N President Darby Weaver.

These areas in­ clude Appalachian environmental history, poli­ cies, tourism and recreation, film, and ethnic minorities. Appalachian Studies Fellowship Endowment - Financial support would provide for periods of up to six months for researchers wishing to use the resources of the Appalachian Collec­ tion. Appalachian Music Fund - The Appalachian Collection would be able to purchase notewor­ thy private collections of Appalachian music as they become available. •Music Library Collection Endowment - The Music Library would be able to keep up to date on offerings to music students and faculty, and purchase materials which cannnot be obtained because of budget constraints and price increases. Another need being requested for endowments, other than the library, include more scholarships. Some scholarships being requested are ones partially and fully funded for graduate students and students in leader­ ship. Additional themes include an upgrad­ ing of the field at State Farm, enhancing multi­ media services for technology all over campus, and a recording studio for the School of Mu­ sic. "I'll be excited to see the final list," said Weaver. On Feb. 26, Borkowski and Siegfried Herrmann, vice chancellor of university ad­ vancement, will view a draft of the requests to be used in the campaign. According to Lawson, the Board of Trustees and the Board of Appalachian Foun­ dation will have the final approval. The Board will meet in early fall and make a decision on which requests to fund and how much money to direct toward that need. Index Page 2... News. MCI connects Appalachian to the world.

Other suggestions that were brought Appalachian State has received the results of the Appalachian food services study conducted by Cini-Little International, Inc., a food consulting firm. The consultants provided the university with the informa­ tion needed to start improving the dining system. According to the Assis­ tant Vice Chancellor for Auxiliary Operations Lynda Stanbery, the food consultants provided "an objective impartial view of the food service department on cam­ pus." In November of 1995, students were asked to partici­ pate in focus group sessions that would help evaluate the food ser­ vice program here at Appala­ chian. The groups reviewed many aspects of the campus din­ ing program and helped the food consultants determine what im­ provements would appeal to both the students and the faculty. The consultants ate and inspected the quality of the food and checked the conditions of the dining facilities. They also re­ viewed the pricing, staffing, and serving hours. The overall assessment of the study showed Appalachian food services to be "generally, an exemplary program." The report stated that students "consistently praised the quality of food of­ fered," and that for a campus of this physical size and population, the diversity of food service es­ tablishments is more than satis­ A student fixes a factory.

Sometime between mid-February and mid-March, MCI representatives will set up booths around campus promoting a tele­ communications package giving on and offcampus students full graphical access to both the Internet and the World Wide Web. According to Dr. Wilber Ward, asso­ ciate vice chancellor for academic affairs, the new service will not only provide users with Internet access, but also make it easier for offcampus students to connect to the frequently busy university computer system. "We just don't have the resources or the technology to keep up with a rapidly grow­ ing demand," said Ward. According to Dr. Douglas May, asso­ ciate director of information technology ser­ vices for academic computing services, the new MCI package will establish a local phone num­ ber students can use to access the Internet. Stu­ dents signing up for the package will receive 60 hours of monthly Internet access time at a cost of $12 per month. Through this service, users are con­ nected directly to the Internet. Although the service does not tie in directly to the univer­ sity computer system, users can access the sys­ tem through ASU's Internet web site. Other benefits of the new package include a 24-hour technical support hot line, a 95 percent success rate in connecting on the first call and unlimited Internet access between midnight and 5 a.m. "Time used between midnight and 5 a.m. will not count against the original 60," said Ward. Another benefit of the new package is the possibility of accessing the service from anywhere else MCI has established Internet access numbers. According to Ward, students could access their accounts from anywhere MCI pro­ vides local Internet access. Students living in areas not served by MCI could call an 800 num­ ber to access their accounts, but would pay a cost of 10 cents a minute to do so. Ward also stressed that students us­ ing the new service would not have to switch long distance companies to use the new ser­ vice. "Switching to or from MCI is not nec­ essary," said Ward. Most students agree this new offer will make life a lot easier for everyone in­ volved. "I think it's the best thing this cam­ pus can offer because of the old and out of date VAX,"said Scott Roland, a freshman from Charlotte. "It will make life easier for those trying to access the internet from a dorm room." "It is great that MCI is stepping in to provide a much needed service for the stu­ dents of ASU at an affordable price," said Chuck Edge, senior from Gastonia. "Students who want the service get a great deal, and those who are not interested do not have to pay extra fees for something they are not go­ ing to use. It will also relieve some of the con­ gestion that keeps many of us from dialing into the VAX." Attention Seniors Ben Emery Reporter Affordablity is the main issue facing the small group housing committee, accord­ ing to a feasibility study presented last Hiesday, Jan. 30. The architecture firm Lee, Nichols, Heoper in association with Hanbury, Evans, Newill, Vlattas and Co., of Virginia, returned their estimates of the first 10 housing com­ plexes, known as Phase I. The cost for Phase I is $8,349,939. The cost for the last eight com­ plexes to be built, known as Phase II, will cost $8,153,044. The feasible budget is divided into four parts. The site-work budget, which is the actual preparing of the site (paving, running electrical lines, sewer), will cost $1, 517, 923. "Seventy-five percent of the site will be fixed in Phase I," said Dino Dibernardi, advisor to the Student Government Association. The building budget is set for $691, 906 for 8,028 square feet.

Like it or not, appearances do matter The new search and seizure policy has gener­ ated quite a bit of debate on this campus. Not only has the issue of privacy been raised, but the issue of how the policy was passed has also been raised. However, none of these issues are going to carry any weight with the administration if the people trying to convey a message will not conduct themselves in a manner in which they will be taken seriously. At last night's SGA meeting, several people were in attendance to ask Dr. Gregory S. Blimling, vice chancellor for student development, questions about the policy and to voice their disapproval of it. Logic implies that these people would want to be taken seriously, and therefore, would make an attempt to "look the part." After all, everyone knows people are judged on their appearance. Whether judging or being judged on appearance is right or wrong is not even an issue. It is a fact. First impressions are based on appearance. This is not simply a shortcoming of people in the adminis­ tration, it is a human characteristic. As such, it would seem obvious that if one wants to be taken seriously by people in administration, they would want to look more like those people. As much as the young people today like to think it is important to be individualistic, and not respect what many see as "the establishment," you are not in your own world, and people will not be willing to bend to accept your appearance over their own, which is accepted as the norm. Even if you are not prepared to cut your hair or buy a $200 suit, an attempt should be made to ap­ pear as though you spent some time on your appear­ ance. Instead, last night, people came to a business meeting wearing torn jeans and having un-brushed hair. Concessions to the "real world," which we are all supposed to be preparing, for, must be made. For example, alumni Hunter Schofield may have changed his appearance, but has certainly not changed his political ideology. The ponytail may have disap­ peared, but the views remain. One's appearance is certainly their own choice, and while no one has the right to make you change how you look, you should be prepared to face the fact that everyone judges on the basis of appearance. Of course, there are those who are enlightened enough to go beyond the first impression and actu­ ally listen to what one has to say. Everyone hates stereotypes, but when you support the stereotype by your own actions, why should people take you seri­ ously? For instance, a clear, concise question was no­ where to be found from the non-senate attendees. C Instead, novellas peppered with "urn," "you know," "like," and "uh" were the norm. It is difficult to filter * out the meaning of a question or statement when one has to dig through all the superfluous slang bet ing used. I In conclusion, if students want administrators to ; listen to them, and perhaps even ask their opinions . on future issues, an effort should be made to look , the part. ; The Appalachian is published every Tuesday and Thursday * of the academic year with the exception of selected holidays and * breaks.

That is a pretty big claim to make, but it's not all untrue. Appalachian may have a mediocre reputation as far as universities go, but there is no good reason for that. Our school maintains some pretty impressive statistics that other schools cannot compare with. This year, US News and World report ranked Appala­ chian as the third best school in the southeast. Exactly 150 colleges and universities were taken into consideration for this poll in the "Best Colleges" issue. In 1994 Appalachian ranked ninth among the regional universities, second for best value and third for efficiency. Our school is commit­ ted to improvement, and it is paying off. Appalachian is also committed to providing personal­ ized quality instruction. They meet this goal, as 89 per­ cent of the faculty hold their doctorate or first professional degree. As a result, our university has one of the highest five-year retention rates in the UNC system. the highest level of undergraduate curriculum qu r Upon acceptance of your invitation to attend Appala­ National Association of Music has called the Br ^ farilirv wmilH be coveted i chian, you may have received a shrug of the shoulders from Sjc fonrpr "a facility that would hp rmui.j by m I- V, sic Center your high school classmates.

The day of "love" is fast approaching and as you can tell, I'm holding my breath in anticipation. What is it about this holiday that bothers me so much? Is it that only two groups of people stand to gain anything substantial from it? The first: restaurateurs who make a killing off of young lovers enjoying a "romantic" dinner out. The dinner is usually a farce since restaurants are packed elbow to el­ bow with other "lovestruck couples." Let's face it, it's hard to be romantic with someone quoting Browning on one side of you and another enjoying a romantic dinner with his mother. That's another editorial all together. The second: greeting card magnates who get rich off people with no imagination who buy cards that are as ro­ mantic as syphilis. Meanwhile, J.R Hallmark sits atop the Rocky Mountains in Colorado playing in a hot tub with his fourth wife, who just happens to be 35 years younger than him, smoking a cigar and laughing all the way to the bank. What does this man know about romance? He knows that it pays. Well it's true, those two facets of Valentine's day bother me, but they don't bother me the most. Could it be the stupid gifts we give one another? First you have candy, which makes absolutely no sense to me. "Happy Valentine's Day. Here, eat this and get fat so I can dump you." Then there are the gifts we give to our loved ones that are actually for us. For example, last year I gave my fiancee a subscription to Sports Illustrated and she gave me a teddy. What's that all about? What about flowers? Ahh yes, nature's gift to the world. "Here honey, I picked these for you myself... at Winn Dixie." Lastly, there is the absolutely absurd idea of giving love coupons. For example, one free backrub, a kiss, or a hot bubblebath poured by the one you love. Yeah, just try redeeming one of those bad boys at three in the morning and see how much love there is in the room. Believe me... bad idea. I'd like to say the insincerity of Valentine's bothers me, and it do^s. But, what bpthers me more is that so many people realize the insincerity and simply do not care. It's like saying, "Hey Clay, thanks for the candy, flowers and love coupons. I know the only reason you bothered was because it's Valentine's Day - but who cares?" Honestly, most guys wouldn't even realize that it was Valentine's Day if it wasn't for the fact that they forgot it. Now, I'm not one of those people who thinks Valentine's has changed in recent years to mean less than it once did. It was always a Hallmark holiday and it will always be one. Maybe that's what bothers me so much about Valentine's. I remember when I was in fifth grade and I received a Valentine's card from the prettiest girl in the class. It was special. It read, "Would you be my Valentine? Love Wendy." 1 was on top of the world until I noticed the guy next to me got the very same card from Wendy. I started looking around the class and low and behold, ev­ eryone in class received the very same card from Wendy, even the girls. I was shattered. How could she flagrantly throw her affections all over the place? So that explains it. Ever since that day I have had a deep-seated hatred for this holiday, and girls named Wendy. But that's also an­ other editorial. Economic know-how makes sense w Richard Smith Assistant Features Editor Gross Domestic Product, FICA; most people donlt know the significance of these words, even though they appear on our televisions, in our newspapers, and on o® paychecks. In fact, Sports Illustrated reported that Ne*, York Ranger Nick Kypreos recently said that while his teat) was visiting Washington, p. C., he wanted "to findm who this FICA guy is and how come he's taking soli^i of my money." This quote is hysterical until you coi all the people who read it saying, "Good Idea!" Ignorance may be bliss, but in discussing econonfl ignorance is the enemy. When you mention the moneyil J people's pockets that economic terms are related to, SUM as higher or lower interest rates, recession, or cash paychecks, then economics takes on a serious, persoi meaning for the average person. So why aren't we mi aware? Through inadequate media coverage and mis­ guided education, people aren't understanding as mudi about economics as they should. What follows is a lew at some problems of media coverage and education (tM sources for economic information) and some possible so­ lutions. People get most of their information about the world from television. It would seem that with all the inforffl tion on television, there would at least be a few b» explanation of terms such as GDP or how it affects work­ ers. This is all too often not the case. The news mf may mention' Greenspan, but only in relating into tion about what he did today, not in terms of the amount of power that this unelected official has over expensive one's loan payment is. The stock market have hit another record high today, but what does mean? Should we care? What if we do care - how we interpret it? It isn't that hard to find out, but mass media di make it easy. If people knew more about the Fedeirai serve, pending legislation, or how to interpret ecor news, they would know where to focus their atter and action in the hopes of a better future, rather getting angry at the wrong entity.

I perform various laboratory techniques with my principal investigator, I analyze data which has exposed me to various computer programs that I have always shied away from, and I am responsible for procurement and labo­ ratory maintenance. In addition to my job, I often attend journal club meetings which en­ hance my background of the subject matter as well as to help me identify the good and bad points of a study. I have also begun taking classes in the School of Public Health at Uni­ versity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in hopes of completing a Masters in the next couple of years. I truly believe that I would not be in this position without my great instructors at Ap­ palachian and my CO-OP at Burroughs Wellcome. I invite any student who is inter­ ested in a CO-OP to call me with any ques­ tions (H: 919-552-7823 W: 919-541-2400). I was a little disappointed, but not sur­ prised by the response to the editorial "Search and Seizure Policy Necessary" (1/25/96). If a student lives in a dorm, that student is part of a community which has certain laws and re­ strictions in place for the protection of ALL the members. A dorm room is not your house. It is not your casde. You are granted the privilege of renting that room by the university. In return, you are expected to follow certain rules and accept certain restrictions on your behavior and rights. In your home you have the right to keep a gun. In your dorm room you do not. In your home, an officer can't enter without a search warrant. In the dorm, an officer can enter your room without a search warrant. Different places - different rules. If you don't like the rules... leave! People confuse rights with privileges. They also confuse oppression with authority figures who are trying to enforce the rules. I'm lucky enough not to have to live on cam­ pus. I don't have to put up with that small pro­ portion of residents who are inconsiderate of others who think they have the right to do Vanessa Urruela's article on the new search and seizure policy concerns me. The judgmental wording depicting drug users as evil peers is unnecessary and amazingly "Helm­ like." I do not deny that drug-related activi­ ties can be dangerous. The danger, however, is for the drug user. Urruela's association of drugs and poten­ tial danger to her well being is demonstrative of media stereotypes and constructions. If Urruela is truly concerned, she should have written an article supporting the Wellness Cen­ ter. The ridiculous notion that up-grading the authoritative liberties of police will deter drug use is a farce. By analyzing the federal government's attempts and failures on drug control, one is able to recognize the banality of the efforts. The only thing accomplished with such regressive measures is the loss of individual privacy. I do understand the long term implications of policy making and the repercussions which can result when people are quick to denounce their freedom to tem­ porarily soothe a paranoiac concern.

So even though an effort is made, the point is unfor­ tunately missed or forgotten in the classroom. What, then can be done? The most obvious suggestion would be for a more basic relation of information. Paul Solman, who covers finance for The MacNeil/ Lehrer News Hour, also believes this is para­ mount, saying, "In economics, what's not un­ derstood above all are the fundamentals." This is like hearing Martian but not having a decoder ring. If people were more than just aware of economic items, and instead were actually understanding these items, then their peace of mind and situations would likely im­ prove. Those well-intentioned educators know this, but simply making a course re­ quired won't do the trick. It is how the infor­ mation is presented that makes the difference between comprehension and apathy. A way to have more students in compre­ hension would be having educators place themselves in the positions of their students and then asking, "What's in it for me? Can you tell me in five sentences or less how know­ ing (insert economic item of your choice here) will improve my life?" If a professor can answer these questions right away in a discussion, then a student will sjgy interested in the analysis that follows, rather than just eyeing that cutie in the front row. Relating the information to a personal level all the way through a lecture would also ensure retention. This sounds so simple, but it isn't always easy Educators, reporters, and economic ex­ perts all run the risk of getting sucked in by theory, jargon, and technicalities. It is when this happens that the audience needs to be remembered. I'm not saying that Business Week needs to use less jargon; they have a specific audience that lives for the stuff. The problem to avoid with economics is assuming I EXPIRES 2/20/96 I ^ 4 4 A "ROSES'* Luncheon Buffet ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT $4.95 Monday through Saturday J, Certificates Available $19.95 A DOZEN CASH & CARRY WRAPPED I^Abtl LsAKKl /WKArrr.U >*fl CHINESE CUISINE Chinese Restaurant ^^ ^ ^ ASU VALENTINE SPECIAL H that the audience (whether a classroom or viewership) has full comprehension all of the time. Keeping all this and more in mind when trying to make sense of economics for any­ one can seem daunting. As Thomas Winship, editor of The Boston Globe for 20 years, says: "Think of the talent needed to translate into English our monetary policy." This translation does require talent, but if people have studied the subject long enough to become authorities in teaching positions, then surely the intelligence that got them there would also be capable of finding ways to make that translation happen. Even some­ thing as simple as a periodic review of the basics would help. Just hearing a definition or explanation once at the very beginning of a technical dis­ cussion (or newscast) often is not enough. A certain amount of repetition is necessary to have everyone with you instead of nodding like cattle. Telling people the same thing in different ways (such as how economics relates to them, their paychecks, etc.) will eventu­ ally bang it into their heads rather than over their heads. If the most important economic issues were given enough attention, with the proper perspective, both in the classroom and in the media, then more people would realize that what is happening with economics is worth understanding. And this understanding (despite what politicians and corporations may think) would actually be good for the economy; people would be making informed purchases, keep­ ing a firm eye on government spending, sav­ ing for the future, making more and better investments, and feeling better about the economy by feeling like a part of it. Though everyone is a part of the economy, not every­ body perceives that they are or understands their relationship with it. The media and edu­ cators have the power to create this under­ standing; it should be created.

What we need to do is make the punishment hit the criminal right where it hurts the most. If prison doesn't work, how about prison with HARD labor; tak­ ing ALL possessions of drug dealers and mak­ ing them work for the state to get re-estab­ lished and get back on their feet; taking the US citizenship away from second offense drug dealers; shooting them? Pretty strong deter­ rents - Huh?!? You guys are lucky. There are places in the world where similar things hap­ pen to criminals. Want to go live there?

Economics Students' rights infringed upon Boole's florist 52! Hwy. 105 ext. whatever they like. I think of dorm rooms as the property of Appalachian State University in much the same way as your locker was the property of your high school. Why can't Ap­ palachian inspect its property any time it wants? Drugs have no place on this campus. I applaud any effort the university takes to get rid of the drugs. The student who wants to live in a drug-free dorm should have his or her rights protected. If you want to break the law and keep or smoke dope in your room - Screw your rights! You threw them away when you broke the law! I don't know what university policy is on illegal drug use or possession. I think that a first offense should result in an immediate and permanent expulsion from the North Carolina University System. Talk about a deterrent!

Naturally, consignment stores are going have newer clothes and higher prices. So if Lpness and eccentricity is what you are , for, then you need to check out thrift "A stores. There are two local thrift stores where you can find anything from well-worn jeans and old corduroy to faded flannel shirts. RAM's Rack on King Street is sponsored by Resort Area Ministries and all proceeds go toward their winter and summer programs. The Thrifty Unique Boutique, located off Highway 105 in Foscoe, is operated by Wamy Community Action and all proceeds go toward service projects to assist low income families in the area. You can get a shirt for $1, a pair of pants for $2 and even a suit for $8. So, not only are you getting a bargain, but your money is be­ ing donated to a worthy cause. CeCe McComb, Coordinator of RAM's Rack, claims that many of their clientele are Appalachian students. What feeds this urge to actually purchase second-hand clothes? The answers vary from student to student, but the overall consensus is the same. The fact that you can get com­ fortable clothing with a look of use and rarity is appealing. Rebecca Luttrell of Thrifty Unique Bou­ tique says it is the older style clothes that the students buy. "I try to keep the '60s and '70s style clothes for the students," says Luttrell.

Linnane Boone had other ideas for traveling though, and not all of them were expected. "I've been skiing twice since I've been here," Linnane said. During the first ski trip, Linnane realized that traveling down a snow-covered mountain isn't as easy as some make it look. "I took out a wooden rail and snapped it in half," Linnane said with a smile. "My knee still hurts." Fortunately, the second attempt at his life was easier. Yet, despite his recent in­ jury, Linnane has managed to find safer snow activities, such as sledding courtesy of one of the cafeteria's trays (of course). It's true, Linnane's friends may be sippirig Pina Coladas by the water's edge in Florida, while he is defrosting his toes by his room's heater. But if that fazes Linnane, he's really good at hiding it. As a matter of fact, the very thought of Florida's weather makes Linnane look forward to many more winters. "I enjoy being able to look outside and see snow rather than seeing rain or dead grass," Linnane says. "Or looking at the pool or the beach and know­ ing the water's too cold." Don't get him wrong, though, sure he gets homesick. That's only to be expected, but can you imagine Floridians being jealous of Boonians (or whatever you call them)? "When I talk to people at home they're kind of jealous I'm skiing," Linnane said. "Two of my friends even want to leave Florida." Hmmm, it looks as if the need to experience seasons is conta­ gious. out of helping them put to­ gether outfits." However, it is not al­ ways the mere cheapness of the items that draws stu­ dents as much as it is the odd and unconventional attire that one can find. Most students enjoy finding clothes that either no one else could find, or that no one else would wear. Nick S. Rudisill, a junior from Irmo, SC, claims that it is this aspect of thrift stores that is ap­ pealing. "They have the stuff you can't get any­ where else," says Rudisill. "You'll never see the same thing twice." There is also a lot of older style clothing that is once again fashionable. Thrift stores allow you to keep up with the trends without paying the trendy prices. Both RAM's Rack and Thrifty Unique Boutique only take clean, usable items. And it is not limited to just clothing. 'They are great places to find eccentric items for the college pad," says Clinton K. Bowman, a junior from Hickory. "You can get anything from furniture to de­ cor." Both stores say they get new things in ev­ ery day. "We move things in and out pretty quickly," says Luttrell. RAM's Rack keeps no clothing longer than six weeks. Anything left over is given to needy families. You can always expect something new to turn up. "They usually have a unique variety of clothes to choose from," says Pam B. Griffin, a sophomore from Cary. Whether it is a funky polyester shirt, an old chair for your bedroom or just a pair of jeans, thrift stores can accommodate you with one-of-a kind apparel for the bargain price. Don't let J. Crew and Sears get you down. Check out RAM's Rack and Thrifty Unique Bou­ tique and get that $2 flannel you have been wanting. And just think, it's already been bro­ ken in for you! Camp Fair comes to ASU Ryan price Reporter Summer will be here before you know it, and the only job you have lined up is at the local Piggly-Wiggly as a "bagging techni­ cian." If this doesn't sound like a fun way to. spend your three-month vacation, then come check out the Appalachian Camp Fair on Feb. 13. Over 90 camps, resorts, community rec­ reation departments and outfitters will be try­ ing to recruit staff in the Plemmons Student Union from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in what is the largest Camp Fair in Appalachian's history. The fair is not only a chance for students to solicit camps from North Carolina, but throughout the entire east coast. Participants from 10 states will be represented, from Maine to Florida. "This is an excellent event for students interested in working with an outdoor recre­ ation program. There are great contacts and it's an excellent networking situation," says stu­ dent organizer James D. Holder, a senior rec­ reation management major. This year's Fair is more than double the size of last year's, in part because of the new student union. The added room allows any­ one who wants to participate to do so. "Everybody's coming here to us this year. It makes it easy for the students," says Director of Youth Programs Fay Binning. Holder and his organization, the Leisure Studies Association (LSA), have been work­ ing on the Fair since school began in August. Binning does most of the coordinating with the camps, but LSA members devote time by promoting the fair through word of mouth, hanging up posters and flyers and contacting any organization they know who would like to be involved. LSA also helps the organizations set up and take down their booths in the student union. By helping to organize the Fair, LSA receives a fee from each camp, which will go Good Friday'. John Starling Staff Writer The shame in being a modern musician from Britain is that you will prob­ ably never attain commercial success in America. The appeal that these artists had in the 1960s has diminished dramatically. The fact is, there are no more Beatles or Rolling Stones to bombard America (Oasis would probably argue this point). America is a fickle market, and it has no patience for the British wunderkinds that seek to dominate the charts. We simply want a flavor of the month. If America was like Britain, we would have never been plagued by the cheese-pop of Hootie. We would have delicious pop stars that know how to write a song. Or we would have megalomaniacs like Gavin Friday who can really write songs and almost deliver them well. Friday is a veteran of the British elec­ tronic school of music. His album, "Shag Tobacco," is a blatant display of his history and his influences. Friday harkens back to glam rock, one of the most important periods of British music, on "Shag Tobacco." No, he's not clad in women's clothes and makeup. His vocalizations and complex lyrical content rely heavily on the style of David Bowie and Marc Bolan of T-Rex (whose song, "The Slider," he covers on the album). Friday's album reeks of sexuality (songs like "Little Red Dress" and "Dolls") and confidence ("There's not enough of me!" he cries on the track, "Caruso"). On tracks like "You, Me and World War Three," you'll swear you're listening to Depeche Mode dueting with David Bowie, a sort of synth-pop blended with sophisticated vocal line. The album's top cuts include the very Leonard Cohen-esque "Kitchen Sink see Friday page 8 toward their program's national accreditation. "Without LSA, this wouldn't happen. They put in a lot of time, heart and soul," says Bin­ ning. The variety of camps participating range from the traditional, such as mountaineering and sailing, to the YMCA to religious and spe­ cial population organizations. "Camps love to recruit Appalachian stu­ dents," says Binning. "I've been in the camp­ ing industry for over 20 years and I've never seen anything like it. Almost every camp di­ rector has to have at least one Appalachian student on staff. It must be something about the nature of the people up here, the atmo­ sphere. That's what directors are looking for." Over 1000 students participated in last year's Camp Fair, with only 42 camps present. LSA and Binning are hoping that more stu­ dents turn out this year to take advantage of the resources available. "Anyone interested in summer or even year-round employment should attend," says Binning. �n Page 8 The Appalachian 8 Feb, Friday 'S 1+4 £o.*l«A o." Skee*'"- IV& +Ue. 1+4 Ok 5«ktA- s«v««.

Appalachian (15-5, 8-0 Southern Confer­ ence) roared out to a 13-4 lead and didn't let the Lady Catamounts get close for the length of the game. For the sixth time in ASU's last eight games, center Andreia Hinton led her team in scoring, with 17 points. Western Carolina (7-12, 2-6) had lost to ASU by 25 on Dec. 6, and couldn't avenge the earlier game. Third year Head Coach Gary Pe­ ters watched his team fall behind by as much as 15 in the first half, as WCU shot 32 percent for the opening 20 minutes. Playing in relief, Beth Schoolfield had 10 points and three assists for the Mountaineers. Merideth Thompson collected nine points and a game-high eight boards, while point guard Shannon Spencer recorded a seven-point, sixrebound, five-assist effort. Tiana Tate took the floor for Appalachian late in the first, scoring twice before intermis­ sion. The appearance was the sophomore's first in five games. The win was Appalachian State's 26th straight against WCU, the Catamounts' long­ est streak of futility versus any one team.

(Photo by Jason Wilkinson) Mountaineers win battle for SC cellar Mike Daniels Assistant Sports Editor In one of their most exciting performances in weeks, Appalachian State's men's basketball team lost a heart-breaker to Georgia Southern Monday in Statesboro, Ga. night 74-72 in over­ time. The entire game came down to the last few seconds of overtime when Georgia Southern's Johna Seay hit an inside jump shot and was fouled by Appalachian's Clint Crosston to give the Eagles a 73-72 lead. Seay sank his free-throw to complete the three-point play and give the Eagles the two-point win. Appalachian had a good chance to win the game in regulation. The Mountaineers led by as much as 13 points with under six minutes remaining in the second period. Unfourtunately, the Eagles decided that they weren't about to give one away in their own gym. Down 63-53 with five minutes to go, Georgia Southern went on a 10-point run to shut out Appalachian the rest of the way, ty­ ing the score at 63 all, and sending the game to overtime. In overtime the lead changed hands sev­ eral times but Sea/s nine points in the period was ultimately too much for the Mountaineers. The leading scorers for Appalachian in the loss were sophomore Clint Crosston and jun­ ior Junior Braswell who each recorded 18 points. Another big performer for Appalachian was sophomore Tige Darner who had 13 points and pulled down a game-high 10 rebounds. Also breaking in double digits in points was sophomore Kareem Livingston who had 11 on the night. This loss drops the Apps to 1-6 in the coijferpnce and 5-14 overall. The loss also keeps the Mountaineers winless on the road this year at 0-8 with just three away games left. One of those three games will be at Davidson this Saturday. Before that, however, the Mountain­ eers will face the Furman Paladins tonight at 7:00 p.m: in Varsity Gymnasium.

Kidd Brewer Stadium's renovation was supposed to have been completed sometime around the middle of last se­ mester, but if you have driven past the stadium lately, the bull­ dozers are still around. The visitor's stands were hoped to have been finished by homecoming and if not by then, then definitely by the playoffs. Neither happened. The track surrounding the field was also scheduled to be resurfaced in time for this spring's track schedule, but that's also not going to happen. Delays first began in the Kidd Brewer Stadium has made some progress since the above picture, but the going has been slow.

Now, delays are being caused by the snow and ice. Completion of the opponent's stands are nearing and work has started on the home side, but the track will in all likelihood have to wait until late spring or early sum­ mer. Hopefully, if all goes well, the staduim will be finished by the start of next football sea­ son.

"Somebody was on the walks essenJy 24 hours both days," said Dr. Clyde D. TinSi associate vice chancellor for physical (rations. Robbins said the physical plant pri„ily focused on ice removal. He said the | „est problem was a matter of getting salt the road in order to break down the ice dy Friday. "The principal streets we worked on toeBodenheimer, Stadium, and Rivers," said ibbins. Hand work was used on the steps tjmnd campus and on entrances to buildings, k plant also kept the fire lanes clear in case tmergencies. D Ahninn J «1. 11 Robbins said they_ were not able to scrape much snow out of parking lots this weekend, though, because most of the cars were not moved. Lots at State Farm, Greenway, and South were ones they could not clear. He said this should not prevent mo­ torists from moving about, since the amount of snow was not significant. The snow and ice caused problems at Broyhill Inn and Conference Center. "We had a lot of cancellations," said Tonya Patterson, front desk clerk. She said a lot of ski groups had planned to come, but did not make it. ' • — According to Tim Baxter, director of the High Country Cable Morning Show, Boone received from one to two inches of ice and sleet, and four to six inches of snow this week­ end. Baxter also said the coldest day of this winter weather was Monday morning. The actual temperature was five below zero. He said the wind chill was not a big problem dur­ ing this storm because the winds never picked up. Ice and snow began falling Thursday night and continued through Saturday, blanketing everything in its path.

The want ofmonevlley So as truly: — Samuel Butler Editorials The Mexican couple judged unfairly Our opinion... Classic Fisher Price In the agenda of the Jan. 30 SGA meeting, there was included a list of repairs and renovations to be made to several residence halls. This list came from Dr. Gregory S. Blimling, vice chancellor for student development. Listed among these renovations were five residence halls slated to have roof replacements. The residence halls were Lovill, Cone, Hoey, Winkler and Mountaineer Apartments. Certainly this comes as good news to residents of those halls, as they will no longer have to worry about their be­ longings floating away in the next big rain. Dr. Clyde Robbins of physical plant operations, assured The Appalachian that the over $400,000 being spent on these roof replacements is necessary, and that the work is actually a year past due. Al­ though none of the roofs are leaking as of yet, they obviously do not want to wait until students are hav­ ing to open their umbrellas in their rooms to get the job done. While the roof replacements are necessary, our question is in the type of roof which may be chosen. Any student who has seen the drawings of the new campus buildings, or who has taken the time to look at Trivette Hall or Newland residence hall, will recognize we are talking about the green roofs on those buildings. These roofs, which may be consistent with other roofs on campus, may not be consistent with the building it is being placed on. When it is time for the stone walls of Chapel Wilson to be re-roofed, will it, too, get a Fisher Price cover? After speaking with Jane R Helm, vice chancel­ lor for business affairs, we learned that these green roofs are being put on all the new buildings in order to create some sort of "classic style" on our campus. It is the "unofficial" roof of Appalachian State Uni­ versity. There is actually no one committee whose sole purpose is to agree on a certain architectural style for new buildings on our campus, but for each build­ ing erected, there is a committee which decides on how that particular building will be styled. The com­ mittee is made up of faculty, staff and students who will be using that particular building. So, for the new student support building, for instance, the com­ mittee will be made up of students, faculty and staff who work in financial aid, the cashier's office, the registrar's office and so on. The only thing these committees seem to have in common are that Helm and Robbins sit on all of them. While this does, perhaps, lend the only bit of consistency these committees seem to possess, it is not enough. Instead of having a different committee for each building being erected, there should be one commit­ tee, made of faculty, staff and students, which votes on all new buildings. While there may be a different architectural firm working on each new building due to the bidding process, having one committee to look over the decision of style would greatly improve the appearance of this campus. Appalachian State University is a "small" school, and that is why most students will tell you they came here. Part of this small school atmosphere is the build­ ings comprising this campus. Buildings such as Chapel Wilson, D. D. Dougherty and Smith-Wright, lend to that charming, collegiate atmosphere. The newly-constructed buildings which stick out like a sore thumb amidst all the character, however, detract and succeed in making our school look more like a prefabricated, modular home model site.

Because of this, the father of her child, 22-year-old Pedro Sotelo, is in jail. These two Mexicans face a very uncertain future now that Houston police have stepped in and ap­ plied American laws to the couple's Mexican way of life. Like her mother before her, Adela got pregnant at 13 and planned to marry her baby's father. In the mother's case, all the plans were carried out while still living in Mexico. Adela's future doesn't look as bright. Being preg­ nant at 14 with a 22 year-old's baby in the States isn't ac­ ceptable in the eyes of the law. It all started when Pedro met young Adela. She was going to school with the help of a fake birth certificate her mother bought. The forged certificate said Adela was 10. She quickly quit school when she couldn't keep up because of the limits of language. The two began dating and within a month she was pregnant. They planned to marry after the baby was born and they could move back to Mexico. The pair lived off of Pedro's $75 a week pay for about 6 months when Child Protective Services was notified of their relationship. They ran away and instantly, the media was quick to jump on them. Reporters stood on the porch of the couple's Hous­ ton home and told the "sad" tale of two young people in love. The events were all over the national news. Police asked for people to turn the pair in as they thought Adela was 10 and couldn't give birth easily alone. When it was discovered that she was really 14, her mother was charged with perjury and falsifying documents. The pair was caught by a woman who saw them begging on the street. She fed them and called the police. Adela and Pedro are illegal immigrants. Neither have ever tried to gain legal citizenship. Now, the best that could happen to the pair is deportation. In Adela's case, this seems likely. If she doesn't get deported her baby will almost certainly be taken away from her. Pedro, however, faces child molestation, statuatory rape and kidnapping charges and is in a Houston jail. It is interesting to look at the case from an American point of view. What kind of mother would allow a young teenager to date a 22-year-old man? Here in the States we look at this as repulsive. Being 14 here means that you are still a child. In Mexico, however, it is commonplace for a couple to marry when the female is younger than 16. It is not un­ likely for females to give birth before age 18. In this coun­ try, love isn't policed in terms of age the way that it is in the States. As they have said time and time again to the media, if Pedro and Adela were in Mexico, they would still be to­ gether and their families would be preparing for the joy­ ous birth of a baby and an impending marriage. The couple cannot understand why their love is a crime in the country that they wanted so badly to live in. Judging these people based upon American standards and ideals is wrong. The pair lived together, loved each other and planned for a happy fu­ ture. According to USA Today, Pedro often asks himself, "How is it pos­ sible that I am here in jail? All there is to it are two people in love." A few months ago all he was concerned about was putting together a crib and buying baby clothes. Most people that have seen this story on tv and in the papers think our government is right to impose Ameri­ can laws on a couple that doesn't know any other way to live. I have a problem with people who dismiss the couple's plight because they can't see past American blinders. It is easy to say, "Here in America we don't do that," and shut foreign ideas out. What ever happened to the whole melting pot idea? People are forgetting that in our own coun­ try, every single day, teenagers Adela's age and younger get pregnant. What is different about Adela and p h lifestyle. They lived together in an abandon'7 renovated and took care of each other. Most n 1N aren't so lucky to live in a house and functicm*^ level in a loving relationship. Adela could hav worse off. Only when CPS stepped in did the ^ c°uPle^ having serious problems. I'm not suggesting that immigrants and oth ers be immune from the law by any means, if to live in a country they should be expected laws.

Q Tim Nicholson Columnist ,^pL John Nolte Columnist Choosing to make the world a little bit better gives life meaning, and it pays. Better means better for us, and volunteering means our choice. When we take time out to help others, by our own whim (not only when per­ sonal tragedy compels us), we can have fun. At the same time, volunteering can really help a ca­ reer. I hate to be so mercenary, but a few volunteer jobs look good on a resume. If you can manage to play at it, making a difference in the real world can really spice up that pointless feeling of the "student syndrome." Through volunteering with a view toward your career, you can certainly gain valuable experience and skills to use later. All in all, volunteering will make life more meaningful and fun. It doesn't seem like seeing people in need would make anyone happy. Fact: we don't like to see people in need. Fact: we like to see people's needs satisfied. It reminds us of ourselves. When it's our choice to do what we think is good, we call it we call it voluntary. It means we have a say, so we are not victims. As far as making a difference, college performs im portant roles for a community. We dream of the way things should be and study how to get there. We do more than just absorb knowledge and skills for our own fu­ ture. We try new things and seek for better answers to our own and society's problems. Fun as it is, volunteering also helps a career. Impor­ tant jobs require skills and experiences like solving prob lems, crisis management, decision making and commu­ nication. Service can teach anyone these things. Hiring consultants also want to know how a prospect spends free time. These days, big companies spend billions to cultivate an image of community service because it's smart. The point is this. Whatever we do, any time, counts, period. Choice counts. Doing something that immediately affects the community reconnects us to reality. People call this feeling "satisfying." If you add enthusiasm, you get joy. That is cool! That is the payoff. The people at ACT, Appalachian and the Commu­ nity Together, forsee a better world. This office connects most of the community service organizations with the university and its students. Peggy Setzer and a small stu dent staff coordinate community needs with student vol­ unteers. The office is located in the Student Union, within the Student Programs Office. The ACT office provides students with a way to vol­ unteer in the Boone community. You can learn and make contacts with people who make a difference and use the experience to observe and model these people at work.

After nearly 15 years of working full time mak­ ing good and not so good money I had to become a college student working part time to get noticed by American Ex­ press. Is this a great country or what? Many of you are getting the same offers so if experi­ ence means anything let me try to help guide you through the credit web you're already stuck in or are thinking of entering. I'll start by saying that you should try to get a credit card. It's great piece of mind in an emergency and you'll need to build up good credit for your future. With that said, here's a few tips on what to look for, how to stay out of trouble and what to do if you get into it. Look for a card with the lowest interest rate. The dif­ ference between 12% and 18% may not seem like much but with a $1000 balance you're saving $6 a month. Why give that up when you could use it to buy a loaf of bread at the campus grocery store? Do not pay a yearly user fee that can range from $15 15 -S "f u d €. AF I) ds job. J "F 3\ IiVwj pafeivE kicked ki»v\ ovt qT +ke to $100. In this competitive market you should bea find a card without one. Most important, find a card that offers a 30 dill period before accruing interest. A $500 purchased could immediately cost you $7.50, but if you pay If 30 days like you should it won't cost you anything Finally, cash back, gifts, and other gimmicks at but don't base your choice on them. You're all grown-ups and it's up to you how 4 your credit. Be aware of the following: First, yow signing a request for a card. It's a contract and youj ture is your word which should mean something #! Secondly, your agreeing that if you default, W ment arrangement is cancelled and the balance is , mediately. Finally, bad credit can haunt you for up years.

All they know is Jjrfiove each other and want to be to­ gether. If our country is going to be great we need to find a reasonable middle ground in cases like this one. The answer isn't always to slap the most strict penalty upon people who don't understand our laws from a cultural perspec­ tive. I have total respect for the law but think cultural implications should be examined too. I have a 14 year-old sister. Since we are Americans, it would be horrible for her to get pregnant by a man of any age. Our culture doesn't prepare young teens to handle preg­ nancy or serious relationships. We don't have high maturation expectancies for teens in this country. If we were in Mexico, however, I might be considered an old maid. It's a cul­ tural toss up. Ma>e if we were exposed to more realis­ tic ima-'s of Mexican life than "border jump­ ers" vo "steal" American jobs, we would embrte diversity. The least we could do is be morftnderstanding. It's not like almost ev­ ery ty doesn't have American teens giving birt at disturbing rates. How many Americaimales go to jail for impregnating them? Htdly any. If it were up to me to decide Pedro and aela's fate, I would send them back to Mexico nere their chances for happiness are much reater than they are here. It's too bad that a .ouple that seems to have a positive relation­ ship is rejected by Americans who would rather remain comfortable in complacency than reach out with understanding, supportive arms. 3oaKE weaker-Ready +o 9 0? continued from page 4 suggest sending post dated but don't send them if you can't cover This is legal in most states but I'm not "tout N.C. so look into it first).

Valentine's Day (or St. Valentine's I is fast approaching and along with it comes the natural anxiety of everyone involved. Men scurry along trying to find gift while women pretend to like what they get. But where did this all begin? Named for two martyred saints, Valentine's Day is believed to have started around the 14th century. It was consid­ ered a day set aside for a lovers' festival. The modern tradition of giving pa­ per valentines started around the 16th century, and now everything from candy 'o jewelry is given on this "day of lov­ ers." That's the history, but not the whole The truth of Valentine's Day is a &le of two genders. story- Jo Jfflen; Most men don't so much hate Valentine's Day as they are indifferent to jj- I think it's another day our society s '"vented to make a profit," says John By the beginning of May, most students are ready for summer, the extended break we get from learning each year. Why would any­ one think of doing anything outside of loung­ ing, going to the beach or partying, much less going to school? Let's just say, for the sake of argument, that you did decide to go to summer school. What classes would you take? Maybe religion, math or science? Try sailing. Sailing - in Boone? This must be a mis­ print. Could he possibly have the geography of Boone confused with Wilmington? How about Newport, RI? For the last 15 summers, the history de­ partment has sponsored the Newport Summer Program at Salve Regina University. This pro­ gram is divided into two parts: one for un­ dergraduate students and one for adults con­ tinuing their education.

Neathery, a graduate student in sociology, says we as a culture just go through the mo­ tions of Valentine's Day, and it really doesn't mean anything. "Girls have been socialized to expect gifts and guys have been socialized to give them." This Insincerity is what bothers Neathery the most. "I don't think we should have one day set aside to tell some one you love them." Brian M. Jones, a junior from Charlotte, echoes Neathery's complaint. "For me, it's just like any other day. It's not that I hate (Valentine's) - there just shouldn't be a day set aside to be romantic." cal education, among others. It also offers in­ ternships at such places as tourist sites, art gal­ leries and museums. Students take weekly field trips to historical sites in New England during their stay at Salve Regina. Students who have participated in the Newport Program have only good things to say about it. Melinda G. Lee, a junior from Marietta, GA., took classes in architecture and sailing. "That was the best way I could spend my summer" Lee particularly liked taking some of the classes that were offered at Appalachian's summer school, but in an environment that complemented the courses. "It was a good experience. ..to see parts of New England,"says Lee. Senior M. Chris MacDonald of Fayetteville also saw the Newport Program as an opportu­ nity to get to know a new area. In his history and folklore classes, MacDonald participated in small, seminar-type discussions and was of­ ten out in the environments that were the set­ ting for or inspired the works he studied. MacDonald was also impressed with the instructors and their willingness to coexist with the students. "(Those were) some of the best weeks I've spent (as a student) at Appala­ chian." "1 would recomend the program in a heartbeat, definitely," says Robin Ann Aylor, a sophomore from Boone. Aylor enjoyed get­ ting to know people better and liked the field trips to Boston and historic buildings in Rhode Island. "I had the best time of my life. I miss Rhode Island everyday," says Aylor. Elizabeth "Bettie" Bond, a professor in the history department and long-time participant in the Newport Program, describes the classes offered at Salve Regina. "Our courses are geared to the area," says Bond. "We're not teaching southern history," says Bond. "We're teaching American colonial his­ tory." Being in the area where these events actually occurred helps students place this his­ tory, thereby amplifying the learning experi­ ence. While the undergraduates chug through their five weeks of summer school, five differ­ ent groups of adults will have come and gone from Salve Regina as part of the adult portion see Island page 8 attributes this to men's being less sentimental never change, but both sides seem to I than women. agree on what to give.

"Guys probably like it a little less, but I think it's a good day." Templeton, a ffeshman from Newton, says she believes Valentine's Day is too commercial­ ized, but that doesn't make it any less special. "Christmas has gotten too commercialized, but it is still an important day." Emily K. Brown agrees with Templeton. "It's a day just like your birthday, set aside to be a special occasion."

It's about paying homage to the roots of blues while redefining it at the same time. The Virginia-based band's new album is soaked with obvious influences. The combi­ nation of the blues-tinged, anything goes gui­ tar style of Droll and the jazzy ensemble of pianist Pete Mathis, bassist Gary Look, and drummer Mike Williams garners "Narrow Mouth Jar" a fresh, raw and funked-up sound that makes for a well-rounded album. Imag­ ine Steely Dan jamming with B.B. King and Stevie Ray Vaughan. On numbers such as "Changes," the Gibb Droll Band treats the listener to a kind of "Heavy Cloud, No Rain"(Sting) jazz combined with Robert Cray blues grooves. The feel of "Blue Love Shawl" makes the listener wonder if Blues Traveler is guesting on the track. On the up-tempoed "Drop Dee," Droll's Stratocaster dances around the notes to "Even Flow" (Pearl Jam) to give the song an intense (and strange) "Stevie Ray Vaughan meets Pearl Jam" quality (and there's no Eddie Vedder to make the lyrics a mystery). The ten songs on "Narrow Mouth Jar" do not limit themselves to simply echoing the art­ ists who have inspired the Gibb Droll Band; they take blues to another level of fierce cre­ ativity. Williams' no-holds-barred style of drumming along with Look's funky and thun­ derous bass on tracks like "Time" and "Car­ rie," one of the album's two instrumentals, give unusually strong backbones to the Gibb Droll Band sound and prove beyond a shadow of a doubt they are not a one-man band. Pianist extraordinaire Pete Mathis doesn't tickle the ivories during any part of the album - he bangs the hell out of them to give jams like blues legend Albert King's "You're Gonna see Gibb page 8 �The Appalachian 6 Feb, Page 8 Island irUaiV%; of the Newport Program.

George Antone, the director of the Newport Program, says there are more things to do in Newport than just classes. The town hosts several music festivals during the summer and is an excellent place for physical activities such as jogging and swimming. Antone says the night-life in New­ port is also enjoyable.

After watching the newly released comedy from director Penelope Spheeris ("The Little Rascals"), I was left wondering the same thing. Like Chris, I couldn't come up with a logi­ cal answer. Farley stars as Mike Donnelley, the lamebrain brother and stinging embar­ rassment to a candidate for governor (Tim Matheson) of Washington state. Mike's cut from the same cloth that made Roger Clinton, Billy Carter, Reagan's kids and just about every member of the Kennedy clan. In steps Steven Dodds (David Spade), one of the public relations folks at the brother campaign team. Dodds decides to brown nose the boss by becoming a professional baby-sit­ ter for Mike. Easier said than done. No matter how much Dodds tries, he can't keep Mike from getting dragged by airplanes and cars, destroying prop­ erty and yelling "Kill Whitey" while stoned at a "MTV Rock the Vote" con­ cert. "Black Sheep" is sheep dip, a thrown together skit that might have escaped from a bad episode of "Satur­ day Night Live." It doesn't help that Farley is more obnoxious than funny. The gist of his silver screen comedy routine is to throw himself down on the ground and wiggle, slobber and yell like the whale from "Free Willy." Farley was funnier on "SNC when he did the same shriek for five min­ utes at a rime. One of his better char­ acters was an insane motivational speaker who yells to his audience, "You'll be living in a van down by the river." It was stupid for sure, but worth a chuckle or two. Spheeris isn't of much help either, her idea of funny is to have the boys from "Rascals" play nutty country bumpkins who give Dodds an enema with a fire extinguisher. "Black Sheep" is a 90 minute baad enema for the brain. Anymore mov­ ies like this and Chris will end up liv­ ing in a van down by the river. Grade: D- Sales Reps are still needed.

Wednesday night saw the South Carolina Lady Gamecocks climb atop Shannon Johnson's shoulders, as the senior guard tattered the nets for 50 points en route to a 78-77 overtime win in Varsity Gym. The Lady Mountaineers' first loss in eight games leaves their season record at 14-5. Johnson drained the deciding trey for her 48th, 49th, and 50th points with 1:40 remaining in overtime, lifting USC to a 78-75 advantage. The Gamecocks might have put the game out of reach with one minute to go, but ASU's defense forced a shot clock violation. Maaret Artosalo's free throws 30 seconds later brought Appalachian within one point. Moments later, Johnson missed the front end of her own one-and-one oppor­ tunity. But Shannon Spencer's shot from the corner, following an ASU timeout, fell off the mark with two seconds left. "She took an excellent shot and it didn't fall," said Coach Linda Robinson. "But we needed somebody to take that shot." Appalachian center Andreia Hinton recorded a 21-point, 10-rebound effort in defeat. Spencer also recorded a double-double, with 14 points and 11 boards, and Melissa Davis scored 18. None of it was enough to stop Johnson, who twisted and juked her way to 40 points after halftime. Playing for all but five of the game's 45 minutes, she shot 6-of11 from behind the three-point arc, and took 37 of South Carolina's 70 field goal attempts. After climbing to a 27-16 lead in the first half, Appalachian suffered a USC run early in the second. The Mountaineers found themselves down seven with five min­ utes left in regulation. With the score seesawing in the final minutes, ASU managed a 71-69 advan­ tage. South Carolina put the ball where it had been most of the second half: in Johnson's hands. Hinton blocked Johnson's attempt from 20 feet, but USC's leading scorer slapped the ball off of Hinton's leg in transition. On the last possession of regulation, Johnson drove and gave the ball up off the double team to Nikki Miars, who missed from the corner. Johnson snatched the rebound, and from a nearly horizontal position in the air, put it back in the hoop to tie the game.

(Photo by Jason Wilkinson) Linda Robinson; the tradition continues Darryl Stevens Staff Writer Sports Feature Anyone who enters Varsity Gym for a Lady Mountaineer basketball game can pick up a GameDay packet for casual reading about the team and its coach. To faithful fans, Linda Robinson's coaching accomplishments are as familiar as her controlled fury on the sideline. "I've tried to calm down and be a little more under control," said Coach Robinson. "But you've just got to be true to your person­ ality (as a coach)." Maybe she doesn't need to cool off. Over 12 seasons as the Appalachian State women's basketball head coach, Robinson has led four teams to Southern Conference tournament championships, and has won a pair of regular season crowns. In 1990 and again in '91, ASU received the conference's automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament. Robinson has earned conference Coach of the Year honors three times, in 1985,1989 and 1993. Just two months ago, Coach Robinson reached her 300th career win, and one game later won her 200th as Appalachian's coach. Can she imagine herself coaching lifetime vic- Robinson tory 400, or even 500? "I don't know that I have that type of lon­ gevity," said Coach Robinson. "I'm just trying to do what I tell our kids: let's look at this thing one game at a time." Robinson came to ASU in 1984, after five seasons as head coach at Pembroke State (N.C.). Her impact on the Mountaineers was immediate. Appalachian won nine of its first 11 during her first season, on the way to a 1612 record, after winning 14 games over the previous three years. Despite the Lady Mountaineers' success over Robinson's tenure, much of the commu­ nity and ASU student body seem unaware of the team's talent. Appalachian State took a 70 conference record into Monday's game against Western Carolina, and has gone 5322 since the start of the 1993-94 season. "I think a lot of people are missing a great opportunity to watch quality basketball," said Robinson. "We've got students that would en­ joy coming out to watch this team." One part of the team, freshman Erica Mathies, won't return until next season. Mathies, representing basketball power Morganton (N.C.) High, tore her anterior cru­ ciate ligament during an early season game against South Alabama. "Erica was getting more playing time than any of our other fresh­ men early on," Robinson said, mentioning that Mathies had suffered a similar injury as a high school sophomore. "It's killing her not to play." As conference and post-season tourna­ ments approach, Robinson is confident that ASU is developing a personality with which everyone is comfortable. Three of App's five losses this year have come at the hands of Top 25 teams Florida, Clemson and Iowa. Coach Robinson marked a 95-68 loss at Georgia Tech as an important point in the season. The Mountaineers went on to win seven straight before falling to South Carolina in overtime. "We got through (the Tech loss)," Robinson said, "and you could tell things weren't clicking ... but we were winning. So that's a good sign, if you can be playing poorly and still win convincingly." That will to win came at least partly from University of Tennessee coach Pat Summitt, a counselor at one of the very few basketball camps for women in the early 1970s. Robinson also feels that her passion for good, fundamen­ tal defense stems from this early contact with Summitt and other women at Brevard Junior College's camp. Many of those women have, like Linda Robinson, taken the reins of basket­ ball programs around the country. "If you were at Brevard's camp," said Robinson, who went for several years as a teen­ ager, "you had a love for basketball like no other girl you knew." One difference between some women ath­ letes and their male counterparts is that some men lose sight of reality in the face of possible pro sports contracts and other big dreams, says Robinson. "Women do have a tendency to keep see Robinson page 11 Men 'sbasketball continues to struggle Mike Daniels Assistant Sports Editor The Appalachian State men's basketball team continued their road losing streak last week with a 100-68 defeat in Johnson City at the hands of East Tennessee State. One problem that has been troubling the Mountaineers for some time is their inability to put together more than two or three points in a row with consistency. In the first half against ETSU the Apps largest scoring streak was five points while the Buccaneers contin­ ued to put together strings of six and eight points at a time. The second half was even worse for Ap­ palachian. At one point early in the period the Mountaineers allowed ETSU to score 11 in a row due mostly to turnovers and poor re­ bounding. Which brings up another problem that the Mountaineers have had all season long; a fre­ quent height disadvantage to most opponents. This game was no exception for the Apps, who ASU Tracks\ Leaping Ahes were outrebounded 30-24 and had five shots blocked. The Mountaineers leading rebounder so far this year has been 6-5 foward Tige Darner who averages under 5.5 per game. When you add that to the fact that the team also committed 22 turnovers and allowed the Buccanneers to shoot over 65% from the field, you can see why the Mountaineers lost by 32 points. Sophomore Kareem Livingston turned in one of his biggest games as a Mountaineer with 20 points and seven rebounds. Freshman Blair Adderly and junior Junior Braswell also turned in over 10 points, with 17 and 13 respectively. The loss drops the Mountaineers farther back in the Southern Conference standings. The Apps are 1-5 and in last place in the conference's North Division. The Mountain­ eers are also 0-7 on the road this year and 513 overall. ASU was also due to play Furman at home this past Saturday, but the game was postponed due to the snowstorm. The game will be made up this Thursday at Varsity Gymnasium at 7:00 p.m. Brian Hege shoots a three against Western Carolina. Against ETSU last Thursday, Hege was held to just 2 points.

Papoose Johnson will help the Appalachian State Men's Track and Field team tremendously this season. They are going through a transitional period after the loss of one head coach and the taking over of John Weaver. The Mountaineers should also be helped by John Moss, a conference title contender in the high jump, who is doing well and has a second place finish in the conference under his belt. In addition, Raymond Bewer, a hur­ dler for App State, has decreased his times dramatically, and hopes to live up to his conference title contention status. These athletes should help lead Appalachian State to a strong finish in the Southern Conference, and give John Weaver a good foundation to work with. Best of luck to Papoose and the rest of the Mountaineer team as they strive for the conference title and more. WHEN DRINKING, CALL A FRIEND. OR GET A RIDE WITH A STRANGER. 15' 7" and Moss 6' 8 1/4".

Volume 70, Number 27 Appalachian State University, Boone, North Carolina, 28608 hfuary h ete cleared of all charges ee Cagle ,WS Editor Appalachian State football player Lance was cleared Tuesday of all • tLat he assaulted Paula L. Crosby, a i?ean ffom Greensboro. The five-hour trial Lgid in district criminal court at the County Courthouse. juga The state opened its case with Ly»j testimony. She said that on Sept. 18, «atabout 7:30 p.m., she was walking past j[one wall surrounding Justice Hall when ck male grabbed her left arm and started t0 her. "He was telling me to sit down dialk to him," Crosby said. She also said asked why she was walking alone. Crosby said she was returning to her nee hall, White Hall, after having dinat Trivette Hall with a friend, J. Ben Emalso a freshman. Crosby said the suspect pulled her •m and made her sit with him and started rubbing the inside of her leg and back. "He told me that if I went to his room, we could have more fun," said Crosby. She said she saw a friend, Joe H. Plummer, and yelled out to him. When he stopped and looked, she ran to Plummer. Crosby and Plummer talked for about 15 minutes. She said when she felt comfort­ able she left for her residence hall, going past the spot where she said the man grabbed her. Crosby also said when she got to Sanford Mall she heard someone yelling at her. She turned and saw who she thought was the man who had assaulted her. Crosby ran to her residence hall, where her resident assistant, Becky K. Jones, called university police. Crosby said she gave her statement to a security officer and an hour later two other officers from campus security arrived to ask her questions. Crosby was then given an Appalchian football program to look through. According to Capt. Larry Foster of Appalachian security, Crosby picked more than one photo as the possible suspect. Crosby said the next day she went to Foster's office for a photo lineup. She said Foster had several photos in a folder. She said Lance's photo was there twice, and she picked those photos as the male who grabbed her. When questioned by assistant district attorney Phillip Hayes, Foster said the lineup only had four photos, and only one of those was of Lance. At the time of the incident, Crosby did not press charges. Crosby said she saw Lance at a party on Nov. 11 and was scared, but stayed at the party. She said while she was talking to her friend, .Allison R. Perry, a sophomore, Lance ran his hand down her back and grabbed her waist. Perry testified that Lance put his arms around her and Crosby as he was leaving the party. Perry also said Crosby had to be taken to a bedroom to calm down after the inci­ dent. Gordon L. Fenderson, a sophomore from Apopka, Fla., went to the party with Lance. He said they only stayed for about 30 minutes, and that he walked right behind Lance as they left. Fenderson did not recall seeing Crosby or Perry at the party. Lance • also testified that : he did not see Crosby or Perry at the party. He did say a man approached him asking why Lance was mess­ ing with his girl­ friend. Some friends of the man grabbed Lance and sug­ Lance gested he leave the party. Prompted by this incident, Crosby swore out a warrant for Lance's arrest on Nov. 15. Lance testified he was sitting on the wall near Justice Hall on Sept. 18 and was at the Nov. 11 party, but said he never saw Crosby or talked to her. He said he let Foster take a picture of him because he did not do anything wrong. Lance denied that the football team gets special allowances or are the "big men on campus." Lance said, "We (the team) earn what we get." Several Appalachian football players testified on Lance's behalf. Each player veri­ fied that during the season the team has a set schedule. After practice, they shower and eat together at the training table in Welborn Hall. Afterward, most of the players sit on the wall near Justice Hall and talk. Dexter W. Coakley, a junior from Mt.

Each player testified that Lance was sitting on the wall Sept. 18, but none of them saw him talking to a female that evening. Judge Alexander Lyerly pronounced Lance not guilty because there was reasonable doubt that Lance was the assailant. niversity Advancement raises $2.1 million reporter The Office of Development and Unireported that fundraising nd donations broke records for Appalachian ute University in 1995.

Dr. Siegfried Herrmann, vice chancellor of univer­ sity advancement, said the donations raised in 1995 are placed into endowments and go toward scholarships, summer programs for professors, departmental resources and special program support. Tom Lawson, associate vice chancel­ lor of university advancement, explained not all of the funds donated to the university are for the university to spend. About 92 percent of all the donations are restricted to a certain scholarship or project by the donor.

He said he wants to use his columns to make connections between everyday life and technology. "I've invented what I call science opinion," he said. Caton's columns will run the first Thursday of each month. He said his first column was printed Jan. 4 and centered on light pollution. His second column will ap­ pear in today's Observer and will discuss how computers are too user friendly. One story he may write in the future deals with the funding for science and why its important not to slash that part of the federal budget. Some of the other topics he may ad­ dress will be timed correlating to events that occur during the year. Caton said he would only write about topical subjects if he felt he could suggest a different viewpoint. Caton has received several positive letters in response to his Jan. 4 column and one was printed. "It's always enjoyable and interesting ... to get response," Caton said. The columns printed in the Observer will be put on Knight-Ridder's wire, so they may be used by other papers within their as­ sociation. "I'd like to see it (the column) get comments away from the Carolinas," said Caton. Caton, who has a doctorate in as­ tronomy, said any good scientist can write about any issue. "You just have to be a little smarter than the audience," he said.

Board of Governors will meet Wednesday Feb.7 in Chapel Hill to dis­ cuss the Comprehensive Articultion Agree­ ment. The agreement, which deals with trans­ ferring credits from community colleges to universities in North Carolina, is made up of two main components. Those components are that all com­ munity colleges will work on a semester sys­ tem, and a standard number of courses will be decided upon in all community college and university systems. These standard courses will allow credits to transfer faster from one sys­ tem to another. If community colleges move to a se­ mester system, degrees such as the associate in Arts, Science and Fine Arts will require stu­ dents to obtain 64 to 65 semester credit hours to graduate. The community college system and the university system will develop general edu­ cation transfer core courses which will be of­ fered as lower institution requirements. These courses, taken at community colleges in gen- Increases in undergraduate transfers from NC community colleges Number of Transfers Year 1990 369 1991 406 1992 416 1993 403 1994 426 Source: Office of Institutional Research and Planning eral education, will transfer without the stu­ dent having to repeat the course from the former institution. According to Dr. Peter Petschauer, professor of history and chair of Faculty As­ sembly for the North Carolina University sys­ tem, the plan will most likely begin in the 9697 school year.

Accuracy and Public Service since 1936 Our opinion... New search & seizure policy causes uproar i I The passing of the new search and seizure policy, which went into effect on Wednesday, Jan. 17 at 12:01 a.m., in every residence hall on campus has caused much debate over whether the policy is good or bad. However, the argument over whether the policy violates students' rights is no more alarming than how the policy was passed. In Tuesday's SGA meeting, Matt Williford, an offcampus student, expressed concern over the fact that most students were unaware of the policy until it had been imposed on them. He emphasized the fact that the policy was not brought before SGA, and that the senators for campus residence halls knew noth­ ing about it. This concerned senators since part of their job is to act as intermediaries between admin­ istration and students. SGA president Darby Weaver, said although she had spoken with Gregory S. Blimling, vice chancel­ lor for student development about the policy, she was not aware it was going to be passed as quickly as it was. Williford also said that the policy was passed without going through Campus Resident Student Association. However, Blimling countered by saying that CRSA was, in fact involved. Rick Geiss, director of residence life, met with CRSA's executive cabinet in the fall to get their input but not their approval. Blimling himself met with the Vice Chancellor's Lead­ ership Cabinet last semester to discuss what options were available to the university. Many Appalachian students are angered over the way the policy circumvented the system inasmuch as it bypassed SGA, a conduit to the student body. Insufficient time was allowed for discussion of the new policy, which effects all campus residents. Many people want to know what can be done about the situation at this stage. Williford has said he will be distributing petitions to students who live on- and off-campus protesting the clandestine fash­ ion by which the policy was passed. According to Blimling, the change is not as much in policy as in procedure. University Police have al­ ways had the right to enter students' rooms to look for evidence of illegal activities, but also had the op­ tion to obtain a search warrant from the magistrate's office, in which case any evidence found could be used in a criminal case. With the change in "proce­ dure," however, criminal court action is not an op­ tion. Whatever the reasoning behind the university's change in policy, it would have been better handled had there been more student input. SGA is supposed to represent the student body. By taking SGA out of the loop, so to speak, the uni­ versity is showing its disrespect for the organization, and therefore, the student body as a whole. For students who are interested in voicing their opinions on the issue, as well as finding out more facts on both sides of the issue, there will be a forum sponsored by SGA on Monday, Feb. 5 at 7 p.m. in the Pub. We urge students to take part, and show the university that we will not stand for the university's blatant disrespect.

We don't want Spanish gibberish here and we mean it." These words were spoken by Joyce Ostrander, owner of the Old Town Pump, a bar in Union Gap, Wash­ ington. Before the law suit began, a sign over her bar read a similar sentiment: "In the U.S.A. it's English or adios amigo." She is currently being sued for discrimination. The suit came about when Ostrander asked three His­ panic men speaking Spanish in her bar to start speaking English. The three men also allege that Ostrander made the ultimatum, "speak English or leave," but she denies this claim. All three men work in Union Gap, but only two speak English. What was the reasoning behind the sign? Wes Wise, another customer of the Old Town Pump who seconds Ostrander's sentiment, said, "They start speaking their own language and we don't know what they're saying. They could be insulting us, making fun of our wives or figuring out a way to rob the place. We don't know." He added, "It's not polite to speak so others can't un­ derstand you." Go Joyce! Her method may be crude, but her senti­ ment is right on target. David Putney, attorney for the three men, said, "I have never seen anything this blatant. It's absolutely Neander­ thal in it's approach to dealing with the races." This is where my point takes shape. This may seem like a race issue, but is less so than one may think. Race relations, though still a long way from perfect, are getting better. Racial tension can be overcome. The color of a person's skin, or their ethnic upbringing, will (hopefully) not be a problem area between people in the future. I Take religious tolerance for example. At one time, end of 1995.

Well, after a year here, it's obvious he was absolutely correct. Limbaugh called it "revisionism,"which implies people are making things up, but that's a little harsh. A better word is "selectivism," where only the worst parts of our history are displayed, thus ignoring both our nation's vir­ tues and other civilizations' similar sins. Exploitation and imperialism are not unique traits held by white guys. Space limits my ability to list all the other cultures who should be equally ashamed of themselves, so if my point, that people are people, has to be made using a single example, let's use the most sacred of sacred cows, the American Indian. There will be no defense of Euro­ pean behavior in this column nor will the Indian be deni­ grated. But when held to the same standard as the Euro­ pean, any claim of moral superiority by the Indians or their prejudiced defenders doesn't hold water. The historian Charles Hudson writes of tribes regu­ larly burning entire forests to create grazing lands (hmmm...I hear that practive in Brazil is killing the planet.) They would also burn miles of forest to trap wildlife into an area that allowed the easy kill of hundreds of animals, and what couldn't be carried was left to rot. Historian Ri­ chard White has written of the near extinction of the whitetailed deer due to overhunting by greedy Indians. William Cronon details how the same behavior almost allowed Alas­ kan Indians to exterminate both the seal and the otter. The next time some nitwit starts whining about the buffalo, remind hint of the deer and otter we almost lost at the hands of those "who are one with the environment." Now some will try to blame this, like they do Indian alchoholism, on the white man's introduction of capitalism. They must obviously think Indians are like animals and unable to dif­ ferentiate right from wrong. Talk about racist. When it came to stealing land you'd be amazed at the brutailty the "peaceful and noble" displayed. When the Pawnee forced the Osage out of Kansas and stole their land, or when the Catawba slaughtered the Shawnee from South Carolina to Pennsylvania for their lands, wasn't that wrong? One tribe attacking another was no different than a Euro­ pean attack, because each tribe was as diverse from each other as they were from Europeans. They had different ways of life, languages and religions. But some must be­ lieve that the distance one travels to wipe out a culture is in direct relation to the size of the sin. Why else would Europeans be singled out for committing the exact same atrocities as the natives? Historian Bernard Sheehan tells an interesting story of how the Osage Indians had their lands invaded, but decided to sign a treaty to share the land rather than go to war. The next day the Osage men were slaughtered by their guests and the women and children taken as slaves. These treaty-breakers were Cherokee, and this is just one example of Indians using false treaties to dupe future victims. Cortez slaughtered the Aztecs to steal their gold and is villified today, yet we're never told that the Aztecs got that gold by regularly wiping out other civilizations. \ always hear about groups of traders selling diseased bin kets to the Indians, but never about the merciless Si« ft destroying Pawnee crops to starve them to death. Are wfc guys the only ones capable of becoming homicidal mar, acs? There was never a national policy to wipe out the!: the dian. If there had been, it wouldn't have taken 400 Oyer to eliminate their way of life. Though our treatments^ Indian was as indefensible as their treatment of eachit I it really wasn't genocide, but more like a sad kind o( sage.

Abraham Lincoln, who incidentally is one of the b? gest victims of "selectivism" today, called America "thebs best hope of the world," and for 50 years the good pe^ of this nation have more than proven him right.

Jackson Brown suggests that everone should be patient in "Life's Little Instruction Book." Patience is what all students may need when it comes to dealing with the avail­ ability of computers on campus. There are several questions that many students who have an interest in the on cam­ pus computing system have on availability. Every student pays fees that, in part, fund the efforts of the Academic Computing Services and as a result, every student deserves con­ venient use of an up-to-date system. After talking with Doug May, the director of the Academic Computing Services, I am convinced that ASU maintains an efficient computing system that meets the needs of the students. One of the most prevalent questions students have is, "Why is it that when they need to use the computer there is not one available?" There is nothing like a waiting list for a computer to make your patience escape you and your blood pressure rise when there is an assignment due in a couple of hours and no hope in sight of getting on a computer. Joyce Roy, of the Academic Computing Services, says that during peak times the computers are "constantly busy." These peak times usually come around mid-terms, finals and from about 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every day (every time you wanted to be on the computer). Doug May's opinion is that there probably is a computer available on campus, you just have to look for it. Every computer lab has information on all of the other campus labs, including their hours of operation, hardware and software available and their phone numbers. The solution is to walk to another lab (it is the beginning of the new year and we're all trying to lose weight anyway right?). The reason there are not more computers avail­ able during these times is that they would not be used during other times. There just is not the money to have so many computers available for such a small amount of time. 1 k The one negative aspect that is clear about Academic Computing SerV' there are not enough labs that are open at the beginning of the semester. ^ students who need to use computers for academic work are hard pressed un lab operators can secure their class schedules and thus, their work schedules. ^ My suggestion is to open labs that are not staffed or to open staffed la when there is not a class that meets then.

Walters ASU Box 14886 I was disgusted that valuable advertising space had been wasted on the issue of ban­ ning gangster rap. Daniel Bothun pushed on the entertainment value of gangster rap and the ineffectiveness of its play on children and their behavior. As we have seen, vulgar songwriting has never been banned. It has been restricted to certain extents (bleeps, censored versions, etc.) from the airwaves and MTy but it has always been sold in stores to buyers of all ages. Parental Advisories line the covers of these albums, but I am one of many Americans whose CD collections as a teenager were filled with these CD's. Many homes and neighbor­ hoods are filled with latch-key kids who don't have a parent worried about what music their kids listen to. They are worried about getting the bills paid. If a kid grows up in a neighborhood where everyone listens to Snoop Doggy Dogg or WuTang Clan, it is this which begins to play the part of the parent. Do people honestly think that a large percentage of today's youth spend their time watching ABC after-school specials when Mom's not around? Of course not, they're out with friends doing what their parents don't Kids are not gullible, but they are prone to jumping on the bandwagon. If drinking 40's, carrying a gat, or smoking pot (like Warren G. proclaims to do everyday), is the message that sells, it is the message that the kids are buy­ ing. Banning rap music is not the issue, though. As I and the author have stated, it should not continue to be battled. On the other hand, Bothun's solution to this problem is also one which could contribute to the problem. A restriction on the sales of these records to any­ one over 18 would only boost sales and in­ crease popularity of their content to those UNDER 18. As far as I know, kids under 18 still smoke cigarettes, drink beer, and read dirty maga­ zines. When we sit back and look at gangster rap from a white, middle-class view, it is seen as trash produced from a dirty culture with "potty-mouths." But white kids love the stuff! Maybe they feel as if it's a peek into the un­ derstanding of an urban culture, or maybe they enjoy the tough attitude of its approach, but I think many simply think it sounds good at a party while they're drinking beer and dancing with the "ho" in front of them. I see it more as a display of a culture on the verge of eruption, and a cry for change. We cannot continue as a society to let the popularity of this music grow if we expect changes in the attitudes of its listeners. The changes must be made at the core of the mu­ sic industry. But overcoming the problem will most definitely take as much, if not more, time than it took to arise. I would like to one day look back at gangster rap as a thing of the past which served its purpose; to educate America about what was really going on in urban soci­ eties. Bothun also stated, "If a kid listens to some gangster rap and is gullible enough to believe that killing people is a cool thing to do, then I hope that kid gets busted for murder and gets thrown in jail." This is the attitude of many Americans, displaying complete ignorance to the facts that people are being murdered daily due to gang-related violence, and our prisons are extremely overpopulated. Try taking a stand against what is wrong instead of hoping someone will do it for you. It is always pos­ sible that you might be the one getting "taken out" by that kid's "glock." Brad Boughton ASU Box 14473 Policy denies students' rights and some students need to use e-mail ac­ counts. ASU offers staffed computer labs until 5:00 a.m. in White, Belk and East residence halls. Students who live in Appalachian Heights, Newland, East, and Doughton can get access to the VAX (e-mail) and in all other residence halls students can access the VAX with a modem. This is a free service for us to take advantage of. There is a method to the madness of con­ figuring availability. The Academic Comput­ ing Faculty Advisory Committee, which does include a graduate student and two under­ graduate students as well as facultyfrom ev­ ery college, makes decisions including where money should be spent, what software should be installed and when labs should be open according to usage patterns studies. They are open to student's suggestions and opinions. The Student Government Associa­ tion also plays an important role in making suggestions on how the computing system should be run.They have recently requested a report on how our fees are spent for the computing system. Doug May says that, "We are the ser­ vants of our customers, the academic users, to a reasonable extent." This attitude is the reason why there is a good computing sys­ tem at ASU.

To the Editor: In your editorial, "Search and seizure policy necessary," (1/25/96) you stated that college campuses should not be refugees from the real world. As a person who lives in the "real world" I regret to inform you that drugs are a reality. In every community (including dorms) I have lived in, drug use, abuse and sales have been present. Your dream of a drug - free dorm is just that - a dream. Giving away your right to due process will not change that. To the Editor: In response to Vanessa Urruela's article about the new search and seizure policy on campus: It seems to me that Ms. Urruela has bought into America's misguided belief that increas­ ing punishment and taking stricter measures against drug users will eliminate our drug Drugs, like sex, will not disappear any time soon. You write that campus police will not be allowed to search a student's room or apart­ ment without probable cause. Probable cause has nothing to do with proof, it is just another way of saying how big is a given officer's imagi­ nation. If you have ever sat in on a trial you might know that. In your support of the rescinding of your fellow student's right to due process, I wonder which of their rights you will support giving up tomorrow. For now we know that your comfort is more important than your neighbor's rights. In conclusion, I would like to say that any­ one stupid enough to give up their rights to the powers that be and wonder what is hap­ pening when those same powers begin to abuse their new-found freedom, you are just getting exactly what you deserve. problem. Anyone who researches the failing "War on Drugs" will see the adverse effect it has had on our nation. Stricter policies only cause drug users to be more cunning and careful about hiding their activities. On a larger scale, this has led to the development of a black market, which has led to an increase in crime. One would think that the U.S. government would catch on to this, and rely more on education and rehabilitation to prevent and deal with drug abuse. Appala­ chian State University would be wise to recon­ sider this before their new policy fails as well.

Personally, I've never voted Republican, but I'm going to this time around for the one point Fve been writing about. That's right. It is important enough to be taken in higher consideration than the flat-tax plans or cuts in defense spending. America has been losing its identity steadily for some time now, and as I have pointed out, language can make problems drastic enough to break up a nation. Even the one in which you live.

Although these ambers show that the garage is much more ,ijjn just a towing business, illegally parked ^ are the majority of road calls. Noblett is interned about all this leaving a negative cage on his business. "People think they jould be able to park in any spot, but they jon't realize that most lots are already full and itat these spaces are paid for." Illegal parking in this case often makes lor some irate tenants who are more than iappy to call for a wrecker - and don't think it tan't happen to you. Not only do tenants call, jut security personnel and wrecker companies tike outine rounds checking for current parking stickers. When students' cars are towed however, Noblett points out that "the majority of students are very nice," realizing that they were tempting fate in the first place, C.

We arrived shortly after the place opened and said our usual hellos to the local kids and employees. Excitement filled my body as the long awaited skate session began. The eight of us proceeded to destroy the street course doing tricks like backside ollies, 5-0 grinds, kick-flips and much more. You can always count on the micro-thin layer of masonite dust that covers the floor to cause the worst wipe-outs. On the stereo "Bags and Trane" played, which is one of the best recordings ever with John Coltrane and Milt Jackson. It also makes skating much more pleasurable. After a few hours my knees begin to hurt, as usual. This is when you know it's time to take a break. So I took a break and shot pho­ tos of my friends skating. It's so hard some­ times because you rarely get a good photo­ graph out of a whole roll of film. I think I got a couple of good ones however. As it got later and the bones hurt worse, we unanimously decided to head back to Boone. Before everyone left, we gathered around the television like kids and a Christ­ mas tree to watch the Deluxe skate video. Deluxe is a company out of San Francisco. Before we knew it, it was late so we exchanged addresses and everyone was on their way back. Everything is quiet now. I just sit thinking to myself when will the next wave of energy roll though this town again. Whether it be a group of friends, a good music group or the warm sun, I just wish it would come soon and more often. , r.n. % . . . are only two PSI-owned complexes with space only for tenants, but arrangements can still be made with your friends (It's called "carpooling" - it saves parking spaces and gasoline). "Okay, great. So now I know," you might say. "I'll get a pass and not take my chances. But what about on campus? Isn't it wrong to park in certain - wait a minute ... I drove to campus today .... Am I I- I- ILLEGALLY PARKED?" Easy does it, there, sweaty. One way you can know absolutely is to pick up your very own copy of the rules at the campus secu­ rity office, next to the State Farm parking lot. There you can pick up a booklet that clears up any ambiguities while outlining all the rules concerning parking stickers, tickets, time zones and anything else you would want to know. For instance, did you know that parking in front of a dorm with your flashers on is tantamount to saying, "Here I am! Give me a ticket!" Some people learn this the hard way by discovering their car has been towed away, but you won't have to worry about this with a knowledge of the rules. Parking near a dorm can even double your chances of being towed if you don't have a proper sticker and are parked in a fire zone or in front of a dumpster. These violations are definite grounds for towing, according to Roy Tiigman, director of public safety and univer­ sity police. Tiigman says the normal proce­ dure leading up to a towing is when a person on foot or motor patrol will call in a violation to the office, and then a wrecker is called. Al­ though it is very tempting and very easy to park illegally on campus, it can be avoided, and this is everybody's wish, including TUgman's. "We would prefer not to have to tow any," says Tugman. If you do find your car suddenly missing, and you may have been parked illegally, then there are a few steps you should take. First, call the watchful eye that probably called you in. This could be campus security, a manage­ ment company, or a landlord. Ask if a car was towed, and give a general description of your car. If this doesn't work, go through the yel­ low pages (under "Towing" or "Automotive") and call individual wrecker companies. Start with the most-advertised ones and then go down the rest of the list. If this doesn't work, call the police because your car has either been stolen, or is driving around by itself. Once you track down your car, get a ride or walk to the garage with either a credit card or at least $50 in cash. Most garages don't accept checks, and sometimes will charge a storage fee after the first 24 hours. If you feel your car has been wrongly towed (an extreme minority of cases, but possible), the dispute can often be settled with hard evidence indi­ cating that you actually were parked legally. Although there are things that can be done to avoid a tow, none are better than preven­ tion. Knowing where and when to park along with being careful are simple steps often not considered until after the fact, which can be several dollars too late. Don't let Old Reliable become a statistic; learn the rules. Poetry in the lounge Leah Rubin Reporter Talent comes in all forms. On Thursday, Jan. 25, students got to­ gether at the Alpine lounge to share their poetry and short stories. Broadsides, a literary publication for students, sponsors these open-mike readings. Megan Crouch, editor of Broadsides, hopes more students will come. "I hope this will encourage stu­ dents to pursue their creative inter­ ests." Many of the students who attend the readings are English majors, but all students are welcome. Jenny L. Rehbeine, a sophomore from Cary says, "I come to hear my boyfriend read his poetry." The audience shows a great deal of interest for the people reading their poetry. Sophomore Scott A. Heflin says, "I like coming to the poetry read­ ings because I enjoy the relaxed atmo­ sphere." There are many interesting styles of poetry being read by students. Al­ though students offer support for one Aubrey £ Derryberry reads her poetry in the Alpine Lounge.

Her dynamic stage presence sends a pow­ erful force of enthusiasm running wild throughout the crowd. The intense energy generated by this performer sends a strong message to her fans that there is truth and meaning to her words. Reeves delivers an incredible performance that guarantees the audience a good time. This local musician captures her unique style in the studio, and creates a beautiful album of musical expression. The album, Falling From Grace, combines a funky groove similar to the style of Janis Joplin with Reeves's own personal style. In the song, "Together," Reeves "became willing to take a chance and fall" by letting her versatile voice explode into poetic song. The song describes how love can conquer all life's daily struggles. The lyrics of the song proclaim that "believing that you'd catch me when I gave my all/you can help me if I try/And they don't care if we rise and fall." The message is that "there will be no stoppin' you if you'll just take that first step." The artist also speaks of losing yourself when falling into love's grasp in the song "Stop the Madness." Her album enables the listener to experience thoughts about life while sur­ rounding the listener with a bluesy essence. Her soft ballads soothe a troubled mind and her rhythmic guitar keeps the rebellious aspect of rock 'n roll alive. Reeves reinforces her message of optimis­ tic persistance in the song, "Cast Iron," which says "life keeps on/moves at will." The album seems to combine the traditional elements of folk music with progressive rock. Reeves has been delighting audiences throughout the southeast for more than a de­ cade. She will exert a raw and powerful sound to her audience once again at the Mellow Mushroom on Thursday, Feb. 1. The spiritual beat heard on her album can also entertain the student eating at Cascades Cafe on Feb. 7 from 11:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. �Page 8 The Appalachian 1 Febr 4 8& HALF PRICE! HALF PRICE!

Next time, bring the varsity!" The Appalachian State Pep Band's lastminute chant wasn't funny to the visiting Lady Mocs, who suffered their worst loss of the sea­ son, 88-49. But the ASU women's basketball team was focused on something other than Ten­ nessee-Chattanooga's feelings, and the Moun­ taineers (14-4) rolled to their seventh straight win on Monday. The Lady Moccasins (7-10 overall, 3-4 Southern Conference) found themselves climb­ ing uphill early, as ASU pounded out 16 straight points to begin the evening. UTC's Kristee Dabovich finally slowed the bleeding by con­ verting a layup with six minutes gone, but Ap­ palachian State freshman Beth Schoolfield scored the Mountaineers' next four to spark a 22-4 run. Throughout her career, Appalachian head coach Linda Robinson's teams have been strong defensively. ASU's last two games, against UTC anH c;eorgia Southern (Jan. 27), showed the potential of her philosophy when everyone is on the same page. The Lady Mountaineers held the Mocs and the GSU Eagles to 34 and 27 per­ cent shooting respectively, winning the pair of games by an average of nearly 40 points. On Monday, Appalachian's defense earned a 49-11 lead at halftime, and ASU coasted dur­ ing the final 20 minutes. The Mocs never got closer than the 38-point halftime margin. Tennessee-Chattanooga's leading scorer Stacey Brown had 16, with all but two coming in the last half, but the effort was too little, too late. Coach Craig Parrott's team only managed to hold steady after the break, scoring 38 to App's 39 as the Mountaineer bench kept UTC at more than arm's length. Schoolfield finished with a dozen points for the second consecutive game, shooting 10for-14 in that span. She also had seven re­ bounds, tying teammates Karolina Karlqvist and Shonta Rowe for game-high honors.

They protect their 7-0 league record on Monday, Feb. 5, when Western Carolina (2-4 conference) visits Varsity Gym. ASU won 83-58 in December at WCU. Following the game, junior center Andreia Hinton was named Southern Confer­ ence Player-of-the-Week for her performances against ETSU, Georgia Southern, and UTChattanoga. Hinton compiled 54 points, grabbed 15 boards, and had four blocked shots, while shooting 59.4 percent (19-32) from the floor and 80 percent (16-20) from the free throw line. "Andreia is doing everything we ask of her and doing it well," commented Robinson. "Her consistent play in the past has served as a central force for our consistent team play in these past few weeks." Andreia joins App junior forward Meredith Thompson in winning the award this season. Thompson received the award dur­ ing week four of the season. Meredith Thompson gets ready to make a pass against the Mocs. Thompson had 11 points and six rebounds in the win over UTC on Mond evening. (File photo) Mountaineers continue to struggle • Freshman Blair Adderly led the team with 17 points in loss Mike Daniels Assistant Sports Editor After losing their fourth conference game in a row to Western Carolina, ASU Head Coach Tom Apke said, "Lack of offense early has been this team's undoing." Apke was not kidding with this statement. Had the Mountaineers not spotted the Cata­ mounts the first 10 points of the game, they would have taken the game to overtime with a chance to win, instead of losing 93-83. How­ ever, Appalachian did not score during the first three minutes of the ball game and while the team did shoot over 50 percent for the game, they experienced several disappearing acts on offense. It wasn't just the 10-point opening run by WCU that killed the Apps however. The home tefim looked bad throughout the first eight or nine minutes of the first half. At one point, the Catamounts led by 19 points at 28-9, even though they went into the half with a shaky 50-40 lead. As usual though, the Apps helped secure their opposition's lead by coming out of the locker room slow. WCU scored eight out of the first ten points of the second half, and led by up to 19 several times throughout the pe­ riod to hold on for the victory. ASU did make runs at the Catamounts several times during the half, but each time they were able to counter the Mountaineers with a run of their own. Leading the way for Appalachian was freshman Blair Adderly who scored a teamhigh 17 points. Also turning in big perfor­ mances for the Mountaineers were sopho­ more Tige Darner, who scored 16 points and grabbed six rebounds, and sophomre Kareem Livingston who had 14 points, five rebounds and five blocks. This loss drops the Mountaineers to 5-12 overall and 1-4 in the Southern Conference's North Division, where they are in last place. The Mountaineers will now try to break into the win column on the road this year when they travel to East Tennessee State and Georgia Southern later in the week. 1995-96 Men's Basketball Statistics No. Name FG-FGA PCT AS TO Reb.

Personally, I'd rather let ev­ eryone on the staff of The Appalachian take a shot at me than let Tyson wind up and have one. Now, how many professors would like to have this same question asked of them. I'm sure if they were, most of them would decline, even if offered substantial money. Let's face it - the older you get, the more damaging get­ ting slammed in the head by a human anvil would be. Recently, a fighter who is probably older than a good number of the ASU faculty has decided that he wants to be the next trailer park in Iron Mike's whirlwind path of destruction. I'm talk­ ing of course about the 47-year-old George Foreman. The ancient fighter has recently made it known that he wants to finish his career in a bout with Mike Tyson. Well, I hope he knows that there's a good chance that he could finish more than just his career if he does meet up with the Iron One. The risk to Foreman would be great if this fight ever happens. After a long and illustrious boxing career in which Foreman has taken thou­ sands of blows, ending it by getting his head bashed in like a pinata and risking serious brain damage would not be wise. Besides his own personal health and safety, Foreman has his family to worry about. It would be a shame for big Geogre's children if their fa­ ther were unable to remember their names 10 years down the road. Many of you are probably think­ ing that there is a good reason for Foreman to put his body on the line, and that of course is money. Fore­ man would make millions upon mil­ lions of dollars were he to enter the ring with Tyson. But come on. Does he really need the cash? Foreman already has millions in the bank and can make plenty more through commercials and other ventures. He is one of boxing's most charismatic and recog­ nizable figures. Does he really need to take the risk that every fighter faces when they step into the ring with Tyson, just for a few million more? My point is this; a Foreman ver­ sus Tyson fight, although very appeal­ ing to fans, media and the all impor­ tant pay-per-view television industry, would be bad for boxing. It would seriously risk the future of one of its few charitable and commercialy mar­ ketable figures in a sport filled with corruption and sleazy promoters. Now a Tyson versus Bowe fight...

(Photo by Aaron Fein) fat With an expected completion date of August 14, Appalachian's new Student Support building is not only on schedule, but actually ahead of schedule. Currently under construction on Riv­ ers Street, south of Kerr Scott Hall, the Stu­ dent Support Center may actually be com­ pleted by July, according to Dr. Clyde Robbins, associate vice chancellor of physical opera­ tions. When complete, the $8.8 million fa­ cility will become home to many of Appalachian's activity and support organiza­ tions. The first floor will house the office of admissions and the registrar's office. The sec­ ond floor will handle financial aid, student accounts, student programs, and the office of cultural affairs. The third floor will be occu­ pied by the offices of residence life, career de­ velopment, and institutional research and plan­ ning. "The whole concept of the Student Support Center is to consolidate the university's activities and support facilities into one spot," said Robbins. "It will be more con­ venient for students, especially those receiv­ ing an introduction to the university." For now, what to do with the space left behind by the organizations moving into the new facility remains largely undecided. According to Robbins, their only definite deci­ sion made so far is the demolition of Hagaman Hall, presently home to the financial aid of­ fice. The remainder of the vacancies will be decided by a space committee. Robbins said the destruction of Hagaman Hall is necessary to comply with flood plain and asbestos abatement provisions. •Outdoor Programs rental system uzanne Carter taff Writer olicy At the beginning of this semester, dall and rovide oor Programs decided not to continue records student equipment rental system, in oriblic "osave their resources for future outings.

The recommendation was discussed •rectors of Outdoor Programs and sent a recommendation -ii t | to the Office for Student Development, where the recommendation was agreed upon. "It is better to fix the things you can, and accept the things you can't (fix)," said se­ nior Jack Wade, student employee of Outdoor Programs. Outdoor Programs is now trying to repair and refurbish previously rented gear, so Outdoor Programs leaders will be able to use it in upcoming trips, such as an overnight back­ packing trip planned for spring break and an overnight climbing trip planned for later this semester. "We are hoping to tum the loss of our rental system into a more educational experi­ ence for students through outings and trips, rather than just a recreational experience,"said Quinn. "It is better to try and replenish gear to help benefit student trips and outings, than try to continue a rental program." According to Quinn, student feedback from the loss of the rental system has not been positive. "I thought the rental system was a great opportunity for students to use Appalachian's facilities to get back to nature," said senior John E. Cockman from Sherrills Ford. "I think it is a shame they no longer have it available." However, with the updating of old equipment, more programs and outings are currently being planned, which will benefit the student body in the long run. The outdoor rental shop has closed its doors.

Contamination in Watauga landfill normal Renee Cagle News Editor Dr. Gregory N. Richardson, president of G.N. Richardson and Associates, said the landfill in Boone is not threatening the New River during the Boone Town Council meet­ ing on Jan. 25. Richardson presented the findings of a feasibility study of the closed Watauga County solid waste landfill on Highway 421 during the meeting. The study was performed by G.N. Richardson and Associates, an engi­ neering and geological service hired by the town council to look into possible ground and surface water contamination. According to Richardson, the find­ ings of the study prove the contamination from the landfill is typical of most landfills and is not dangerous. Nature will do the work on its own, he said. "You don't have a smoking gun," "There are no hot spots," Richardson said. Richardson said repeatedly to the council.

Textbook rental system needs revision r, • Every year, students stand in long lines to pick up their rental text books from the university. Many complain about the long lines and the waiting, but hardly anything is said about the expense. Within our student fees is a $75 charge which covers rental texts. Most students consider this a bargain, and rightly so. Consider that each textbook has a list price of anywhere from $30 to $60. With a 15-hour class load, the average student takes home an armload of books worth between $150 and $300. However, de­ pending on your major, this may not apply to you. English majors, for example, often lose out in this system. More often than not, English majors find themselves burdened with the task of buying more books than they rent. Take for example one senior who spent over $174 last semester on supplemental books for his 15 hours of class. .History majors often find themselves in the same predicament. One history major took her class sched­ ule to the textbook rental area only to be told she had NO rental texts. Had she gone through the uni­ versity, she would have ended up spending $214 on books for one semester. Luckily, there is a new offcampus book service, so she only had to pay about $190. (Lucky girl!) Add this to the $75 she already spent for books unnecessarily and you can see where the problem begins. How does the rental process benefit these students? Obviously some curricula require more supple­ mental books than others. So, the $75 many stu­ dents spend never helps them at all. Perhaps the administration felt this policy was the lesser of two evils, and that it would benefit more people than not, but it seems to be working contrary to its design. Students pay the fee regardless of whether they need rental books or not. How does this policy ben­ efit students who don't have rental texts in a given semester? Wouldn't that $75 be better spent on books they are required to buy? Add this to the fact that students give back their rental books. Students need to assess the policy and make their opinion known. Whether you usu­ ally benefit from the rental text process or not, it exists to serve you. Possible solutions include evaluation of the policy on a major by major basis. For example, English majors should be allowed to forgo the flat charge of $75 in favor of buying their own books. This way, students decide whether the fee is better spent on supplemental or rental books. Another possible solution is through individual assessment. If a student will have no rental books for a semester, $75 should be deducted from that individual's tuition. The administration should not take advantage of students simply because they have taken what they see as best for the whole rather than the individual into account. We urge students to look at how their money is being spent in the rental text book system, and ask the administration to do the same. The system does not work the same for everyone, so everyone should not have to put in the same amount.

Charles Peguy i|fi War and Peace" Blowing things out of proportion • Media's priorities of news coverage often misguide misguided Steven Mackay Columnist On January 18, my 22nd birthday, my world came to a crashing halt. I just couldn't believe the news when a professor came into my five o'clock class and announced that Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley were getting a divorce. Sob!! How am I going to go on? O.K., I admit it, I'm kidding just a tad. I couldn't care less what happens to those Hollywood dodo birds (although I did hear the marriage crumbled after a huge fight; Michael wanted kids, but Lisa told him he shouldn't be trespassing on elementary school grounds). What really shocked me about this so-called ordeal was the amount of attention the media gave it. The front headline of The Charlotte Observer rang out the news, so did USA Today and every television news station in the universe started their broadcast with phrases similar to "Tragedy in Never Neverland!" Jay Leno based his entire monologue on the break-up, and I still don't know if Rush Limbaugh put his two cents in or not. As a communication- journalism major who will gradu­ ate soon and join "the real world" (whatever the heck that means), I am appalled by what I call "The Media Scope." That's the symbolic super-eye microscope the media casts down upon the world, closing in on whatever it deems important and/or relevant. Alas, this great, all-knowing eye is poking in the wrong area, instead of studying or revealing society's mind, it's giving the world one big enema. Did you know that the Space Shuttle landed at night last week? No? That story was buried under such heartthumping topics as O.J. Simpson having the nerve to stand on his front patio and act like a free man who was acquit­ ted by a jury many months ago. Shocking, isn't it? We also have to put up with stories about Di and Charles, Alec Baldwin popping a paparazzi photographer in the nose, every action Michael Jackson does, and the list goes on. Let's not forget about the bald lesbian Nazi who is leaving her serial-killing lawyer husband for a trans- sexual biker from Louisville. More and more, the media wallows in the muck of the world, drowning out the normal, common man. I'm not suggesting that the news ignore or censor the Holly­ wood lifestyle and other bizarre, goofy stories. I'm merely suggesting that we form a common respect for each other, no matter who a person is. We're stuck on this rock to­ gether, so we really need to start getting along. Hopefully, my generation of up and coming journal­ ists will be able to get through a broadcast or a paper run without mentioning The Juice or digging up other irrel­ evant gossip about what actor is leaving what actress for what other actress. Maybe we could center our media scope on everyday human struggles - stories we can related We should center the media scope on Washington j find out what's really going on with Congress and CM Usually, the media is biased toward the former and fo13 ing of the latter. Nonetheless, what Bill, Newt and Bob are doing affect us for the rest of our lives and we need to M more. I could go on with my suggestions, but I caniU see the future. Whatever it is, I hope the "Media Scopfj pointed up and outward toward our future, and notsked toward the ground, waiting for a shot of our feet poss# faltering on the ground. J Search and seizure policy useless Stuart B.M. Crampton Columnist Editor's note: This is the second article of a twopart series. The first article ran in the January 25 edition of The Appalachian. There are many questions life never intends for us to answer. Why is he called the "Lone Ranger" if Tonto is always with him? What's the deal with Grapenuts cereal? No grapes, no nuts - what gives? How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pop? What's a "Freudian" slip? Is that when you say one thing when you really mean a mother? Can vegetarians eat ani­ mal crackers? Why is "abbreviation" such a long word? Why was Appalachian's new search and seizure policy writ­ ten with little or no consultation with those it affects most? Why does the new poiicy severely compromise students' privacy? How can a substance abuse prevention policy with softer penalties be more effective? Of all the enig­ matic questions I've faced in life, the last three mentioned above rank among the most baffling. Scott Ranger, Appalachian's Assistant Director of Resi­ dent Life, says that what really sparked the drive for a new search and seizure policy was a meeting Dr. Gregory S. Blimling, Vice Chancellor of Student Development, held with resident assistants not too long ago. Dealing with increasing drug abuse in the residence halls topped many of the resident assistants' lists of the most difficult parts of their jobs. If the university was so concerned with what they heard from the resident assistants, why weren't the resi­ dent assistants asked to contribute to the potential solu­ tion? And why wasn't S.G.A. or R.S.A. invited to help drawup this new policy? Had more student input been solicited by the writers of the new search and seizure policy (campus police, judi­ cial affairs, residence life and housing, university attorney Dayton Cole, and the office of Vice Chancellor Blimling), the new policy could have been more fair and effective in its attempts to curve rising substance abuse on campus. Do you know how many people have a key to your room and can enter even when you're in the shower, in a deep slumber or not home? Let's just say that Otto the janitor (custodial personnel), Fire Marshall Bill (health, fire and safety regulators), Tim Taylor (repairman), resi­ dent assistants, and resident directors can, for the most part, come in any time they like. Sure these "authorized university personnel" are supposed to knock and identify themselves before letting themselves into your room, but this is still a definite stomp on the toes of students' privacy. Regardless of the fact that the aforementioned university personnel still cannot search your room under the new search and seizure policy, it's nonetheless disturbing to know that someone can let themselves in your room even when you're not home. This aspect of the new search and seizure policy is a senseless violation of a student's rip privacy and should be seriously reevaluated. Another serious flaw in Appalachian's new search seizure policy is the lack of clarity behind the singles important word in the policy - "cause." The policy sta that campus police can conduct a search if it believes vs.: violating university regulations or the law. The policy;) on to define "cause" as "a reasonable ground of suspics to lead a reasonable person to believe that a party is a mitting or has committed an act in violation of unit® regulations or state or federal law." Reasonable groue suspicion? Reasonable person? Moms think they are reasonable people, and theytr suspicious when you blow your nose. Does this meanti campus police can find "cause" when they walk bya and hear "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" blaring fa the radio? Does this mean that a false police tip faperson who sees you dressed in "Deadhead" attire eve day could result in your room being turned upside do»' Granted, these examples might be a little far-fetched ' the point is clear. "Cause" might not be the easiest word define, but this vagueness in the university's definf leaves the door wide open for unnecessary harassing Everyone knows that the old search and seizure p®1 required police to obtain a search warrant (in mostct* to conduct a search for illegal substances. When a warrant was used by campus police under the old po campus police had the option of turning over the evid it might find to law enforcement for the purposes of nal prosecution.

Looking at today's criminal defense system, and the tactic employed by some, I'm beginning to believe that no one is capable of saying, "I'm sorry, it's my fault." Nowadays responsibility is shrugged off by claims of "I was abused" or "I was sexually harassed" or "I ate too many Twinkees and couldn't control myself." Defendants suffer from "Urban Survival Syndrome" or " Adopted Child Syndrome" or even, in one case, PMS. These are only a few of the tactics employed by defense lawyers to get their obviously guilty clients acquitted, and the juries in these trials are buying these lies as truth. How many criminals have been freed because some­ where along the line we became incapable of seeing through this bovine scatology? Lie after lie after lie has been told in the nation's courts, and the liars walk out prac­ tically exonerated of their crime because of the sudden lack of common sense in America.

This list of excuses goes on and is growing even as you read this. I'm certainly not saying that there are no abused or battered children or women. Furthermore, I'm not saying that there are not cases in which abuse is an acceptable reason for killing. What I am saying is that there is an outrageous number of bogus excuse claims in our courts, and because these false defenses are so often successful, criminals become more daring with their crimes because they know that all they have to do is claim abuse and they'll never have to serve a day in prison.

Just don't comb your hair, and presto - dreadlocks! Yes, everyone you see sporting those locks did just that to get them. You can do the same, although people might question why ex­ actly you have dreadlocks. What dreadlocks are exactly is matted hair. These mats form naturally when your hair forms into clumps and tangles. This weav­ ing action occurs as the individual hairs rub together, and bunches of these hairs form the individual locks. Having Dreadlocks is often misunderstood by anyone not wear­ ing them. Some people wear locks for spiritual and personal reasons. Some also wear these locks to be cool, because of the reactions people give. The hairstyle dates back almost 200 years to Africa. Today in Africa, young boys of the Masai tribe still wear the locks to show their passage into manhood. The style migrated to the Caribbean, where the Rastafari move­ ment started in Jamaica, and the term "dreadlocks" was born. As the Rastafari culture migrated to the United States, dreadlocks followed suit. It was often seen as a way for African Americans to get back to their roots. The process of dreading your hair is a simple one, because all you do is not comb your hair. Some people choose not to wash their dreadlocks, but that isn't always the case. According to Bert Wray, a graduate student, washing your hair can actually help the process. This is the most common misconception about dreadlocks. Many people think that clean hair isn't a part of the pro­ cess. Actually, the wash­ ing helps the weaving because dry hair is more coarse, and friction aids the forming of dreadlocks. see Dread page 9 UN Conference influences ASU biology professor the enthusiasm of the women was not damp­ ened.

Run for your lives!! Another lost in space flick, "Screamers" is a howlingly bad rip off of "Alien" and "Blade Runner" Oddly enough, the screenplay, based on a book by "Blade Runner" author Philip K. Dick, was partially written by Dan O'Bannon, the brain behind "Alien." I hate coincidences. Set on a war-torn mining planet, Peter Weller ("RoboCop") stars as a fed-up army post commander. His bosses at the Alliance, a galactic mining corporation, have written off the entire planet and its inhabitants as a fi­ nancial loss. On the other side of this deso­ late rock lies the New Economic Bloc, the com­ petitor and enemy of the Alliance. Realizing that fighting is useless, Weller decides to go to the NEB and start a truce. The title refers to killer robotic gophers with circular saws for heads. They were de­ signed by the Alliance to wipe out the NEB, but due to artificial evolution, they now kill anybody they want. Why? Well, nobody knows. Here's another zinger: the screamers can also take human form. Dumb scenes are abundant. When Weller comes across an adorable, teddy bear-clench­ ing, ten-year-old boy in the middle of a nukedout city, he decides to adopt the kid. Duh! Junior's a screamer. The suspense is in trying to figure out who else is a cyborg. Yet, the answers are obvious. The climax has a main character turning out to be ONE OF THEM, but any­ body with the brain of plowed dirt already figured it out an hour before. So, to put it mildly, "Screamers" is a sus­ pense thriller without the suspense or the thrills. An inventory of uninteresting char­ acters, sci-fi cliches, zero humor and a goesnowhere story leave you with nothing to scream about, except for; "I want my money back!" The final scene leaves room for a sequel, which should be called "Screamers 2: Killer Teddy Bears From Beyond." I must put a note on my calendar to miss it.

Most of these soundtracks, , as Natural Born Killers and Pulp Fiction, e a surreal soundscape that provides an ht, albeit a confusing one, into the .tor's true intent for the film. Actor/director Tim Robbins surpasses the jt garde feel of these albums in his involveitwith the soundtrack for Dead Man Walk, a film telling the true story of a nun helpa death-row inmate through his last days. Robbins had the foresight (and common C sense) to send early copies of the film to art­ ists he respects and have them write songs in­ spired by what they saw. The results are aweinspiring. The singer/songwriter takes the predomi­ nant role on the soundtrack. Bruce Springsteen paints a somber picture on the track "Dead Man Walkin'." When the Boss sings "I'll rise in the morning/My fate decided/ I'm a dead man walkin'," you can feel the fi­ nality of the character's situation. This is un­ questionably the best song on the soundtrack. As Robbins says in the liner notes to the soundtrack, Johnny Cash has been there. He knows the feeling of isolation in prison. Cash's inclusion on this album is not only poignant, but well-delivered on "In Your Mind." With the presence of a powerful woman in the movie, Robbins saw fit to call on four of the best female singer/songwriters in music to present the nun's perspective. Suzanne \fega and Michelle Shocked offer up mediocre cuts, "Woman on the Tier (I'll See You Through)," and "Quality of Mercy," respectively. Patti Smith's "Walkin Blind" haunts the listener with strong vocals and ethereal back­ ing music.

T,,, K T 0 0 R is Mary Chapin Carpenter's "Dead Man Walk­ ing (A Dream Like This)." Next to Springsteen's song of a similar name, Carpenter's is the best song on the album. Other than Springsteen and Carpenter, admirable numbers were turned in by other artists on the soundtrack. Lyle Lovett's piece, "Promises," pierces the heart with his silky smooth writing and voice. Steve Earle's "Ellis Unit One" presents the inmate's perspective as well as Springsteen's. Eddie Vedder teams up with Pakistani star Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan for two tracks, "The Face of Love" and " The Long Road," with each sing­ ing lead on one. Robbins took some chances with this soundtrack. Not only did he have the guts to anticipate other people's interpretation of his work, he went to a variety of sources. Several genres of music are represented here: rock, country, alternative and world music. This kind of eclecticism rarely pays off, but, since all the artists took a toned down acoustic approach and sound like they're in the same vein, this soundtrack wins big. If the movie is as good as the soundtrack, Dead Man Walking is sure to be a blockbuster. 'WHAr?! <^\\ a ) oo-V ! X you peo^e Howe ajvino. me l. looKs oil .

The games were hosted December 26-30 in New Or­ leans, La. Bad Company placed second out of 18 Co-Rec teams from all over the nation. Five members were named to the All-American First Team: April Caldwell, Tim Clark, Amy Hale, Kristy-Ann Hamilton, and Lynn McDougald. For placing so well in the nationals, the team was invited to play an exhibition game on the field before the Sugar Bowl. To achieve their position in the playoff game Bad Com­ pany had to beat many worthy opponents. The champion­ ship game was a face off between Bad Company and North­ eastern Louisiana. Louisiana edged out Bad Company with a touchdown with only 26 seconds left on the clock. Hard work and dedication goes into creating a cham­ pionship team and ASU's Co-Rec champions possess these qualities. The team's persistence, positive attitude, and out­ standing physical ability carried them to national recogni­ tion. Also, congratulations to Dennis Andress, Jason James, and Jimmy McGaha, student officials, who represented Ap­ palachian State University at the National Flag Football Championship Games in New Orleans. Their hard work and dedication at regional flag football competitions earned them the honor of officiating at the national champion­ ships. Jimmy McGaha was one of twenty to receive the honor of being named an All-American Official, out of the one hundred officials from the United States and Mexico. Thirty-three turnovers by Georgia South­ ern, coupled with 23 points from Appalachian State's Andreia Hinton, meant a 97-60 win for the Lady Mountaineers on Saturday. Georgia Southern came to Boone this weekend at 4-1 in Southern Conference play, injsecond place behind undefeated ASU.

"On paper, this was (to be) a good game," said ASU assistant coach Barbie Breedlove. "But our kids were very determined. They just came out and jumped on Georgia Southern." Appalachian State (13-4, 6-0 Southern) gained a 28-9 lead in the first half and kept stretching its advantage. The Lady Apps sent GSU to the dressing room at intermission with a 32-point deficit, and during the second half Appalachian State led by as many as 44. Hinton's 23 points in16 minutes held true to her recent scoring pace. She has averaged 18.6 points in Appalachian's six Southern Con­ ference wins, up from just under 13 per game overall. Appalachian's newest Mountaineers got plenty of chances to participate in the carnage. Freshmen Shonta Rowe, with 15 points and seven boards, and Beth Schoolfield, who scored 12 on 5-of-8 shooting, played like upperclassmen. "They both came in and worked hard and gave us a good effort," said Coach Breedlove, "and this is the right time to be doing that." Georgia Southern sophomore Telly Hall, shooting 58 percent from the field until Satur­ day, was frustrated into a 3-for-9 performance. The forward was held nearly 10 points below her team-leading average, finishing with eight points and four turnovers. Merideth Thompson had 16 points and a game-high 10 rebounds, including eight on the offensive end. The Georgia Southern game marks the third time this season that Thomp­ son has reached double digits in rebounding. The only Appalachian frustration on the afternoon was the 100-point mark, which eluded the Mountaineers although Karolina Karlqvist made a free throw for ASU's 95th point with over five minutes remaining. Var­ sity Gym's home fans gfew more and more restless as Appalachian State stayed at 97 points for the game's last 3:40. The crowd of about 400 groaned as Karlqvist's three-pointer missed with less than 10 seconds to go. Appalachian State, in the midst of an eight-game home stand, faces the third of those opponents on Wednesday. South Carolina split with the Mountaineers last season, losing to ASU 70-64 during a December invitational tournament in 1994 and taking revenge two months later at USC, 98-79.

Unfortunately for the Apps, the Keydets showed that they've been practicing in between marching drills and basic train­ ing, as they handed the Mountaineers an 8464 loss. The Apps faced an uphill battle right from the begining, by allowing the Keydets to start the game with a nine point run and go up 9-2. Later in the first half, VMI put together an 8-0 run to help them go into the locker room with a 20 point lead. Things didn't get any easier on the Moun­ taineers in the second half either. VMI allowed Appalachian just two points to start the half before putting together a 10-0 spurt, giving the Keydets their largest lead of the afternoon at 58-28. From there on in, VMI was able to sit back on defense and make the Mountaineers play comeback. However, the deficit proved to be too much to overcome for Coach Apke's boys, and VMI came away with their eighth victory of the season. Leading the way as usual for the Moun­ taineers was junior Junior Braswell, who scored 17 points and pulled down six re­ bounds in the losing effort. Also turning in a big game for Appalachian was sophomore Kareem Livingston, who also had six boards along with 13 points. The loss dropped the Mountaineers to 5-11 overall, and 1-3 in the Southern Conference's North Division. Appalachian's schedule in the next week includes confer­ ence foes Western Carolina, ETSU, and Furman. • Change coi be on the i/i/afl for ball team David Willis Sports Editor Appalachian State's Junior Braswell drives to the basket against Furman and head coach Tom Apke instructs his players in last year's Southern Conference Tournament.

Deion looked more like the KoOO man. PrimeTime did not one stop in the entire game and ^ burned on Pittsburgh's second uchdown. What the Steelers did do wrong, ^ever, was forget what they had Pay It done all season. They waited until the uarter spread the on/1 fourth quarter to snrpflH rhp field and go with their five wideout set, and only God knows what happened to Kordell Stewart, the Steelers do-everythingman only touched the ball four times. The Pittsburgh offense ran 84 plays and their biggest offensive threat only got four touches. Are you serious? By now, all you Dallas fans are saying, But Dallas won." You're right, they did and Larry Brown, the least well known of the Cowboys' second­ ary, deserves all the credit in the world. And for those of you who will still say that Dallas whipped Pittsburgh's butt, think back to when the score was 20-17 and the Steelers had the ball with 4:15 left in the game. You wiped the sweat from your brow and prayed for a miracle. Be grateful that you got it and be happy with a very narrow win. Brown got beat by the intended receiver on both interceptions, but somehow the ball was thrown right to him. I think the MVP should have gone to O'Donnell, he was Dallas' best player on the night. Well, at least now everyone will quit blaming Barry Switzer for Dallas' losses. After all, he is not the one on the field in uniform making the mis­ takes. Switzer is a good coach and deserves credit for his team's success. Even if you are not a Dallas fan, you do have to give them credit for winning their third Superbowl in four years, and unlike Pittsburgh, they could return next year. The Cowboys and Jerry Jones don't have to worry _i _ about money ihungry L-ii _i ball players who are more loyal to the all mighty dol­ lar than they are to the team that made them who they are, because Jones can afford their loyalty. Pittsburgh has several guys open to free agency this year and could lose them all, including O'Donnell and Kevin Greene. O'Donnell is being courted by the New York Jets and ru­ mor has it that Greene could be in Charlotte next season. Jets fans be­ ware, you could be getting the most overrated quarterback in the league. He is scared to leave the pocket and has a tendency to throw to no one on occasion. Getting back to the point, the most important stat of all is that the game actually went down to the final minutes and was not the lackluster Superbowl of recent history. I think the best matchup in the game was the Dallas offensive line, unquestionably the best in football, against the Steeler defensive line. The Earth Movers did a good job of keep­ ing Greg Lloyd and Greene from get­ ting to Aikman. Although in the fourth quarter, the enormous Cowboy line seemed to tire when they are usu­ ally at their best. All in all, the AFC has finally gained the respect that they have been lacking for the past few years. Hopefully this will set a trend of ex­ citing Superbowls for the years to fol­ low.

Appalachian can have a winning program and it would be a great shame to see that new gym with 10,000 seats, only holding about about 2,000 people per game. That was the average attendance last season, and this season is not exactly filling the gym either. At the beginning of the season, the athletic department introduced "Hoops in Da House," a scheme to at­ tract students and supporters back into Varsity Gym. If you really want to bring back the fans, start winning. No one wants to come out and watch a team that loses on a regular basis. COMIC STRIP Chicago; Unstoppa-Bulls Darryl Stevens Staff Writer Sports Commentary By now alot of the skeptics who doubted that the Chicago Bulls' flam­ ing start was for real are believers. The NBA regular season has reached its halfway point, so there's nodoubt that Chicago's on the way to setting a stan­ dard that won't be within sniffing dis­ tance for a long time. During a normal year (which, be­ cause of Chicago, this is not) Orlando, San Antonio, and Seattle would also all be covered in praises for their mid­ year records. It's a testament to the Unstoppa-Bulls, in that they have smothered talk of other good teams among many fans and sportscasters. The Bulls could go 79-3, though, and it still won't mean they can't be beaten in a series. There's hope for the league'sother 28 teams, even in a series that gives Chicago the homecourt advantage. A team with the potential to whip the Bulls only needs to consider a few options. Option A: Hire the Hornets' Matt Geiger for a few weeks at playoff time.

The NBA would love the extra revenue, and who else besides Gei­ ger can say they mastered Shaq-Fu at his own game? A student bested the teacher. Very excellent, Grasshoppah. Option B(to be used if Option A is impossible, in the unlikely event that Charlotte is still around in the month of June): Bring back Bill Laimbeer. Enough said. Option C: Make sure Spike Lee has tickets to the Bulls' playoff series in question. At this point it will help if Indiana is the team facing Chicago, since Reggie Miller and Lee are al­ ready on friendly terms. Lee's pres­ ence at courtside will guarantee 30 or 35 points a game from Miller against the Bulls.

The suspect grabbed her wrist and the front of her t-shirt. The female escaped and ran to the nearest residence hall where she contacted uni­ versity police. According to Nicholson, university police are calling this an isolated incident. In order to avoid other alleged as­ saults, Capt. Larry C. Foster, university police investigator, urges female students to be aware of their surroundings, to walk in groups and to use Mountaineer Escort. "Reporting suspicious persons on campus and using the emergency blue light phones will also help provide safety for stu­ dents on campus," said Foster. Blue emergency light phones are found at 37 locations throughout the campus; most of them are in residence hall lobbies. graduate student dies Heidi Dull Reporter Appalachian State University ge­ ography graduate student, Wayne E. Horton, 29, of Greensboro, died on Jan. 17. The cause of his death remains unknown. Horton traveled to Costa Rica with his girlfriend, Diana Castano, on Dec. 15. While in Costa Rica Horton and Castano went into a cave inhabited by bats. On Dec. 24 Horton developed a high fever and was flown to Miami, and then home to Greensboro. According to Horton's brother, Jonathan Horton, a graduate student in the biology department here at Appalachian, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are performing tests to determine the cause of death, and the results should be known in a month. Horton said the family has held one memorial service in Virginia and will hold another in Boone in the next couple of weeks. A signature book is set up at the entrance to the Student Union for friends and family to sign in remembrance of Horton. 11 Infirmary cuts hours ask force set by Town Council >nee Cagle ws Editor A special task force has been put toier the Boone Town Council to examine issue of consumption and possession of liolic beverages at Horn in the West. The town council adopted an ordi« on Dec. 14 which regulates malt bevers and unfortified wines. Councilman lter Schofield moved to set up the task force Ms meeting. The task force is made up of volun5 fr°m the community and Appalachian * University. The goal of the task force is the concerns and issues involving alrelated events at Horn in the West. According to Schofield, the ordinance was adopted because no events were sched­ uled at Horn during the winter. He said with the passing of the ordinance "...exceptions or amendments can be added when the time is right." The task force is focusing on six pri­ mary areas of concerns. The first area is how alcohol will be handled before and after related events. Sec­ ondly, the task force will look into alcohol lim­ its at these events. The third area concerns when con­ cert events will begin and end. The current ending time is10 p.m. Security inside the event is another issue for the task force to consider. The task force is also dealing with the concerns of the surrounding neighborhood around Horn in the West. The last area of concern is insuring that any policy adopted about alcohol at the Horn stays in place. Justin A. Starnes, a senior from Char­ lotte, is the president of Sigma Phi Epsilon and is on the special task force. Starnes represents his fraternity as well as Kappa Sigma. "It's a positive thing," he said. "It's only going to make events better if we are al­ lowed to have events because we'll have the support of the community and town." Starnes said "Thaw Out" is very im­ portant because it allows them to raise money for charities such as OASIS. The findings of the task force will be presented to the Boone Town Council in Feb­ ruary. As of this semester, the Infirmary will begin closing at noon on Saturdays and not opening until 4 p.m. on Sundays. However, it will continue to be open 24 hours throughout the week. According to Dr. William A. Der­ rick, director of student health services, these changes have been made in order to accom­ modate decreasing revenues and to provide service in other areas where it is needed more. The University of North Carolina Sys­ tem of General Administration has allowed universities to increase student fees by five percent. The health fee is expected to increase by three percent and the salary increase is ex­ pected to be four percent. Ninety-five to 96 percent of the universities' revenue comes from the student health fee. "Because of this cap on fees, the In­ firmary is having to compete with the athletic department, the Student Union, and other stu­ dent services, and we have to look at where services are being utilized and see where we can cut back," said Derrick. Before the new hours went into ef­ fect, the Infirmary staffed two nurses for each of the six shifts on the weekends, but only 2030 students were utilizing its services. see infirmary page 2 14 ASU students honored Who 's Who of American Universities and Colleges releases '96 list ing to Daye, of the 150 to 160 students who were nominated, 60 students did not follow through with the nomination process.

The electoral board is made up of one-third students, one-third academics faculty and onethird student affairs and business affairs fac­ ulty. Daye said the wide range of electors gives students a better chance of being elected. The nomination process is done only in the fall, said Daye, when the Center for Stu­ dent Involvement and Leadership advertises around campus. "We think it is important to recognize the students and their accomplishments," said Daye. A program to honor the students will be held on April 19 in the Grandfather Moun­ tain Ballroorrf in Plemmons Student Union. D.

The town council two-step On th'e front page, there is a continuation of a story which actually developed in the fall semester. The Boone Town Council has adopted an ordinance banning alcohol from all town property, which in­ cludes the Horn in the West property. As every stu­ dent is surely aware, Horn in the West is the tradi­ tional site of the spring Thaw Out, hosted by Sigma Phi Epsilon and Kappa Sigma fraternities. In writing the original article about the thenproposed ordinance, The Appalachian learned that the fraternities involved knew nothing about the problems surrounding Thaw Out. The ordinance put in place by the council would make the 12-pack limit on beer a moot point for the party-goers, as they would have a "no-pack" limit enforced. It seems odd to us that the council would, in the same meeting, adopt an ordinance banning alcohol from the property and organize a task force to inves­ tigate options. Task forces, by our understanding, are usually set up prior to making decisions on a matter. The task force could result in several different consequences. First, the ban could be enforced to its limits, making Thaw Out an alcohol-free party. This poses the question of attendance to the fraternities hosting the party. Would people avoid the event if there were bands but no alcohol? Since the event is a philanthropy for the fraternities and most of the money is donated to area charities, do the fraterni­ ties want to take that chance? The task force could also decide to allow for some type of special permit. The permit would allow for alcoholic beverages, providing there was adequate patrolling for abuse of the law, such as underage drinking or the limit being disregarded. This option still leaves several problems for neighbors of Horn, though, because the noise level is not taken into ac­ count, nor are the trespassing and littering problems addressed. The fraternities could decide to move the loca­ tion of Thaw Out to someplace on campus (like the Block Party) or find another location off-campus. This poses a problem, however, for the fraternities, in that any place off-campus would need to be within walking distance, or there would have to be special considerations taken into account to avoid drunkdriving. The fraternities, for instance, could set-up a special shuttle service, so party-goers would not have to worry about driving home after a full day of beer-drinking in the sun. It seems as if the logical thing to do would have been to devise a task force before adopting an ordi­ nance. If Town Council would have simply opened the lines of communication with all the parties in­ volved, and come to a compromise or some sort of concrete solution befoffe putting the ordinance in place, there would not have to be all this dancing around to amend the ordinance or insert exceptions.

There's far less •Dwight Morrow Search and seizure policy necessar Vanessa Urruela Editorials Editor Simply said, I'm not comfortable with the idea that drug abusers and dealers have been more secure engaging in drug-related activities on campus than off-campus. Unfortunately, for many years here in Appalachian's resi­ dence halls, this has been the case. Countless times while living in East Hall I heard things like, "Getting caught is no big deal. What can the on-campus police do? They can't even search your room without a warrant!" It frustrated me to think campus police could only ask to search a room when they believed something illegal was going on in it. Students did drugs in residence halls be­ cause they knew a slap'on the wrist and a few measly hours of community service was all they would face if caught. Students scoffed when RAs called security to process drug violations. Drug use on campus was literally a laughing matter. Welcome to the real world people. As of 12:01 a.m. Tuesday of last week, Appalachian has finally taken a ma­ jor stand against drug use in residence halls. At that time, revisions to the existing Search and Seizure Policy went into effect. Major changes made to the existing policy concern when campus police are allowed to enter a student's room or apartment without their permission, and some of the penalties they can apply when illegal drugs are found. Some students feel the changes are unfair and only serve to punish people unnecessarily. This is not so. The revisions only better the chances that one day our resi­ dence halls will be rid of drugs and other illegal substances. The sanctions make consequences for violating the drug policies tougher and more in tune with state and federal laws. These things are necessary and long overdue. Col­ lege campuses should never be refuges from the rest of the world, nor should they be drug havens. Many students who complain about the policy must not truly understand it. I suspect the people I've heard the most complaints from didn't really read their copies of the policy closely. I would like to help clear up misunderstand­ ings about the policy. First and foremost, campus police are not able to en­ ter any student's space without probable cause. What this means is police must believe there is an illegal substance (i.e. drugs), stolen property, contraband, or other items property forbidden by the university in the room. Many people think probable cause allows police to act on a whim. Reasonable cause doesn't mean someone has a "feeling" the law is being broken. It means they have proof. If you are stupid enough to use drugs and give police evidence to believe so (like letting marijuana smoke waft out your door and into the hallway), you deserve to be caught. Under the old policy, students could refuse to let their rooms be searched and police had to obtain a warrant to pursue the matter further. Under the new policy, police are still required to ask residents to let them in. Now, even when a resident re­ fuses, police can enter accompanied by another university employee (like an RA or RD) using a pass-key. Upon entering the residence hall room or apartment, the police then do a "plain-view" search. This means they look for drug paraphernalia or other illegal possessions out in the open in the 100m. if they find something illegal, they have the right to search the rest of a student's belong­ ings even if the student refuses them permission to do so. This is a very effective way to eliminate drug posses­ sion. Before the new policy went into effect, police had their hands tied when students refused to cooperate. The evidence police find will be used in university dis­ ciplinary hearings or the Residence Life Intervention Sys­ tem process. The new policy will bring mo disciplinary hearings, allowing for more d^^'J ing in prosecution.

Label changes a double-edged swon • Popularity is inversely related to qualit Andrew Paynter Columnist It's really bizarre how people respond to the way bands write, sing, play and even perform. The one thing that may puzzle people is the way in which fans, especially die-hard ones, respond to label changes in their favorite music groups. For example, a band such as Nirvana, who once put out records on the independent Seattle label Sup Pop, gets an offer from the DGC label, and accepts. What element or elements of the group could possibly change the lis­ tener interest to nothing? I mean, what makes a band so different when they all they do is change from minor to major labels, like Nirvana or Buffalo Tom did? For many fans, there is a big difference, not necessar­ ily in the actual music but in the accessibility of the band and their music. For years, music lovers have driven miles, spent tons of money, read magazine upon magazine and created web pages on the internet just to learn about great bands that aren't dependent on horrible mass media outlets such as MT\( Rolling Stone Magazine, top-40 radio and even "al­ they listen to? ternative" radio (I really hate that annoying cliche!)

I Students tied up in red tape Jason Wilkinson Assistant Editorials Editor Sure, they tell you when you come here you will learn the slide rule and stuff about DNA. And true, I am sure some of us do learn this kind of stuff, though I have no proof that anyone ever really has. Nope, a good deal of what we learn here at the uni­ versity deals with pleasing people, playing politics, and dealing with the occassional spineless professor who must live in a bubble and somehow got a degree through corre­ spondence course. There is a game, an art, and a luck that comes with trying to get something done through a heirarchy of people. The fun starts when people are too timid to do something someone else hasn't done, and in the travel one experi­ ences as each person sends you to someone else. I am sure this does not stop in college. Why, even the more direct relationship between professor and student is filled with nonsense about selling yourself, keeping the professor happy, and convincing the professor that your uncle actually died. Also, there exists an art to who will actually do some­ thing or get something done (about four to eight members of most departments). And who can blame them? Stu­ dents will lie, cheat, and steal for their own benefit a good deal of the time. What makes faculty any different? Holding the higher offices is insanely political, and more often it seems the goal is not to please students (im­ possible) but more about keeping them at a reasonable level of anger. Students fuss and whine about everything, no matter how miniscule. My favorite thing to whine about is the insane reasoning in having two television stations in foreign languages on-campus. I remember things I thought were a travesty my fresh­ man year, that I now realize are handled reasonably and effectively. This doesn't mean that faculty should stop lis­ tening to student complaints, only that students should perhaps give thought to them. And in turn, perhaps the university could do less deferring. It's I realize, but I have seen and experienced stU turned away for less noble reasons. thair It's a tough lesson for students to leanV,jreSj fessor," unlike the doctors on "ER," has no Get to know the people in your department treat them with respect. * �-larhian 25 January 1996 — Page 5 ou can become a part of The Appalachian, a national award winning college paper.

Richard Smith Assistant Features Editor It's the middle of the afternoon, the sun is shining, people are working, and the world is zooming along ... it's the perfect time for a nap. Just ask Thomas Edison, Presi­ dents Kennedy, Reagan and Clinton, or most of southern Europe. Contrary to what we've been raised to believe, naps aren't a sign of laziness; they're the cure. With the in-your-face pace of today's world, naps are becoming the remedy of choice for many a mid-day slump. Many college students will routinely stay up cramming or partying until 3 a. m., get to class at 9, have a quick siesta, and then take on the evening feeling refreshed to do it all again. But does this college ritual sound like reverting back to kindergarten "naptime?" Maybe so, but don't knock it 'til you've slept through it - your kindergarten class was on to something. Whether it be the deep-but-short sleep of the siesta (one to three hours), or the brief Edison catnap (15-30 min­ utes), naps are scientifically proven to be good for you. Ac­ cording to Dr. Claudio Stampi, a sleeping disorders expert in Cambridge, Mass., people feel better, accomplish more, and are less drowsy after a nap. A short snooze in the middle of the day can work wonders for the fatigued, and can actually prevent sleepiness later on, making for more productive study ing (or partying). "I nap almost every day," says Tim C. Davies, a junior from Charlotte. "I always felt sleepy in high school toward the end of the day, but here in college, I can usually squeeze in a quick nap after class." Davies says also that living in an apartment rat^r tk. campus makes this easier. But what if dorm life prevents napping, snoozing in class (counter-productive napD ^*' ' bound can try working out time arrangement' ^S' T mates.

His only nemesis is the school's vice prin1, a hard-nose, who thinks rock music is spawn of Satan. This guy bears a strong resemblance to the psychotic D-FENS from "Falling Down." As Holland immerses himself in school, he lets his duties as husband and parent slide to his wife (Gleanne Headly of "Dick Tracy"). His greatest challenge is trying to share his music with his son. It takes many years for him to realize that his son may not be able to hear the music, but can still feel it. Dreyfuss has played piano man before in movies like "The Competition," but his per­ formance here is still top notch. Mr. Holland is played as an actual human being with bless­ ings and blemishes. Rarely do we see a man this real in movies. This is a character that the audience can actually care about. Director Stephen Herek ("The Mighty Ducks") orchestrates "Opus" with ease, letting the story pull our heart strings. Most direc­ tors go overboard and practically play a vio­ lin, hoping that it will push the feelings of the movies. No help is needed here. There is plenty of humor to balance out the serious subject matter, making this film perfect for the entire family. Grade: A the Drag: anything but John Starling Staff Writer With Britain and America separated by an ocean, it's no surprise that these two coun­ tries have developed their own distinctive rock and roll trends over the past two years. While America has been reeling from the effect of the Nirvana-induced grunge movement, Brit­ ain has been experiencing a revival of sorts. Recent exports from the island nation, such as Blur and Oasis, have been hearken­ ing back to the pure pop sounds of the Beatles. It was inevitable that these two styles come together in some fashion. What's amazing is that a band from South Carolina are the pur­ veyors of this unlikely blend. Meet the Drag. The Drag is awaiting the release of their first LR Satellites Beaming Back At You, in April on their new label, Island Records. This Myrtle Beach-based band is cur­ rently in the middle of a break-neck club tour across the southeast. Building a fan base? Spreading the Brit-pop gospel? Perhaps yes, to both questions. Will they succeed? Most definitely. The album distinctly reeks of the afore­ mentioned blend, with vocals reminiscent of British bands and dirgey guitar parts that bring to mind Seattle. Unquestionably, the Drag leans more toward the British persua­ sion. This album is so addictive that you'll go into withdrawals if you don't get at least one spin a day out of it. The opener, "Quiet Feel," starts off with a slow, drippy guitar arpeggiation then crashes into a full throttle chord attack. Some of the tracks never go beyond the clean British sound. Witness "Our Race Cars" and "Ster­ ling." Cuts like "Eat Your Heart Out" and the epic, "Fountainbleau," keep the album inter­ esting with different tempos and sounds. There really aren't enough good things to say about this band. The songs stick in your head like a bullet. The most amazing quality of this band is their ability to Americanize a decidedly British genre. While Blur and Oasis have had only me­ diocre success as imports, the fact that the Drag are American and do Brit-pop better than their accented brethren almost assure them a mas­ sive following here and abroad. The closest the Drag will be to Boone is the Alternative Pub in Asheville on February 10. This may be one of the one of the last times you'll be able to catch them up-close and personal. Don't miss it: the/11 Drag you into their poppy world. Photo provided by Island records. The Appalachian is seeking sales reps.

Coming into the. game against Davidson Tltesday night, the Apps were 5-2 at home, having only lost to out of conference foes Geor­ gia Tech and UNC-Charlotte. When the Mountaineers took on the Wild­ cats of Davidson in Varsity Gymnasium, they looked like anything but a contender. After collapsing early in the second half, the Moun­ taineers dropped their second conference game of the season by the score of 90-68. Appalachian was able to overcome a slow start in which they did not manage to record a field goal until five minutes into the game, to bring the game back within reach at halftime. It wa's in the second half that the Moun­ taineers handed the game over to the Wild­ cats. Down 40-33 to start the half, ASU turned the ball over their first two possesions of the half and allowed Davidson to go on an 11-0 run which gave the 'Cats a commanding 51-33 lead. From this point on, Appalachian had to try and play comeback, but just couldn't seem to put together the run needed to do so. The closest the Apps were able to get to Davidson was within nine points after senior Brian Hege hit three of four foul shots with about 11:30 left to put the team down 61-52. When it was over ,the Mountaineers had lost by 22 and looked thoroughly beaten. Davidson had out-rebounded them 39-24 and forced the Mountaineers to turn the ball over 25 times. Leading the way for the Mountaineers in scoring was sophomore Tige Darner, who shot 100 percent from the field and scored 18 alto­ gether. Also scoring in double figures for ASU were junior Junior Braswell, with 15 points, and sophomore Kareem Livingston, with 12 points. Sophomore Clint Crosston, who usually turns up in the leading scorers column for the Darryl Stevens Staff Writer Sports Commentary Have you noticed yet that no one is say­ ing that Pittsburgh will win on Sunday? Al­ most nobody wants to stick their neck out on a prediction like that. Instead, from those Steelers faithful, you hear : "Pittsburgh has a chance. Well, the best chance of any other team from the AFC, any­ way." "I hate Dallas, Jerry Jones, Deion Sand­ ers, and, basically, the way the state of Texas is shaped. I hope the Steelers kill 'em." Let's have some confidence, Pittsburgh fans. Be convinced. It doesn't matter that, bar­ ring a Tonya Harding - Nancy Kerrigan-type scandal, Dallas most likely will bend Bill Cowher's men over its knee for a spanking. It doesn't even matter that half the viewers watching the Super Bowl are tuning in for the brand-new commercials. Just believe in your team. What makes it hard to keep such a rahrah attitude in the face of history are the facts. Early in the season, Pittsburgh lost to Jack­ sonville. And Dallas has so much confidence, you'd think the team needed help stuffing those big heads in the helmets. Pittsburgh needed alot - ALOT - of help to get this far. Even with Greg Lloyd, the man bad enough to fight an entire stadium full of people, and who could chop off Troy Aikman's head with the flat of his hand if he got a run­ ning start, the Steelers are walking uphill. Dallas knows how to win at this level, a factor that shouldn't be underestimated. As Apps, did not play and was replaced in the starting lineup by freshman Blair Adderly who managed to score only four points. Crosston was suspended for the game by Apke, for an incident that occurred in practice earlier this week. Appalachian will hit the road Saturday when they face VMI in Lexington, VA. The team will then return home for next Monday's contest with Western Carolina at Varsity Gym. Tipoff for those games are 2:00 p.m. and 7.30 p.m., respectively.

(File photo) Michael Irvin screamed during his NFC Cham­ pionship postgame tirade, the mid-season doubters are quiet. Lloyd and Irvin have been scolded for us­ ing profanities during the playoffs, on live tele­ vision. But why the uproar over their cursing when everyday television can't keep away from "bad" words? Yeah, these two men and others in the league (like Miami's Bryan Cox) know better. You know the routine: the children look up to them,they're role models, they shouldn't let their emotions rule their mouths, yaddayadda-yadda. But networks have a responsibility, too. The executives and producers at these com­ panies are professionals in the television biz, and a professional of any kind knows to an­ ticipate the unexpected. Ten-second delays are just one easy way to avoid these problems. So all of a sudden, Lloyd and Irvin (and by association, football players and pro ath­ letes in general) are spoiled, garbage-mouthed individuals once again. People who can't stand the concept of pro sports can use this episode as just one more example of overgrown ba­ bies playing stupid games. Newspapers and magazines all over are running thesame response from readers: "See, told ya, told ya. They get all that money for playing and now they ruin my kids' ears with this crap." But here's a piece of bad news your kids heard it on the telly or at school already. But even Irvin retracted a cuss word dur­ ing an interview on Tuesday, just after it came out of his mouth. Apparently his mother gave him a talking-to, and most Mamas get the last word. So whatever the final count comes to, maybe it's time to let those f-words fade into memory and enjoy the new Pepsi commer­ cials. Ice Bowl '95: A close up look Mike Daniels The loss drops the Mountaineers to 1-2 in the Southern Conference, tied for fifth place in the North Division, and 5-10 overall. Davidson, meanwhile, will hold onto first place in the North Division with a 3-0 conference record. games before, and of all the games I have been to over the years, these two that I saw in the Assistant Sports Editor span of one week were without a doubt the two most memorable that I have ever wit­ nessed.

Sophomore Tony Hairston won the first match at 118 lbs. 4-3 to give the Mountaineers the early lead. However, Carson-Newman came back to take four of the next five matches to bewilder the App grapplers. During that stretch, fresh­ man Rob Daly got his second pin of the year, early in the match (1:24). Daly improved his record to 20-9 on the season, the third highest total on the team. The final four matches, however, were a completely different story. The Mountaineers regrouped and dominated the final outings. Matthew Bentley, Jason Hooker, Seth Myerson, and Duke Howell all won not so close matches. Bentley won a 10-1 decision, Hooker took a major decision14-2, Meyerson won11-6, and Howell won by pinning his opponent 1:14 into the final match to secure the win. It was the first match back for Howell after being out since January 3 due to injury. Hooker and Meyerson gained their 24 and 21 wins respectively to lead the Mountaineers, now headed into the heart of the Southern Conference schedule. Appalachian will com­ pete again on Saturday as it travels to UT-Chattanooga. ?i • Lady Apps, a winning David Willis Sports Editor Appalachian State's women's basketball team is on its way again to having another out­ standing season with a current record of 11-4 overall and 4-0 in the conference. Coach Linda Robinson has her Lady Apps playing well and should reach her eighth 19win-season in her 12 years at Appalachian. Robinson is 207-123 during those seasons, and led ASU to its best record ever at 24-4 in 198788. The Mountaineers went 19-9 last season and only lost one starter. This year's squad is led by junior Andreia Hinton, senior Shannon Spencer, senior Karolina Karlqvist, and junior Meredith Th­ ompson. All four are averaging over 10 points per game. Spencer leads the team in shooting 47 percent from beyond the arc, has 79 assists and 54 steals on the year. Also contributing to this year's team are juniors Maaret Artosalo, Melissa Davis, Leigh Jones, and sophomore Tiana Tate. The Lady Apps are looking to return to their conference dominance of the late 1980s and early 1990s as they won Southern Conference Titles in 1987,1988,1990, and 1991. In 1990 and 1991 the Mountaineers advanced to the NCAA Tour­ nament and would like to be playing in March again this season.

From there on, a regular day at the game became some­ thing far more ugly and embarassing. It became a day where teachers and lawyers and all other so-called adults turned into Neanderthals and children. It became a day where people found courage in numbers and anonymity much like members of the KKK or Nazi party. And it became a day where the darkest side of human nature reared its head over some 50,000 people. By the time the game was offi­ cially over and the Chargers had won 27-17,115 "fans" had been ejected, 45 taken into police custody (among them a police chief from upstate New York), and 15 seriously injured. Also seriously injured was Charg­ ers 60-year-old equipment manager Sid Brooks. Brooks, who was deco­ rated for his service in Vietnam and has been with the Chargers for 23 years, was hit in the face with a large chunk of ice in the fourth quarter and fell to the astroturf unconscious. As if it were not digusting enough that someone had actually done this purposely, it was even sadder to have to watch the snowballs come down around him like a meteor shower, after tie went down. While trying desper­ ately to revive the fallen war hero, Chargers' players had to stand around Brooks to protect him from the barrage coming down from the stands to try and finish him off, as though he were a wounded animal being attacked by vultures. By the time it was all over, the NFL had on its hands one of its most embarassing situations in years. Dif­ ferent parties began blaming each other for why the snow wasn't cleared out prior to the game, why there had not been enough security to handle the problem, and why the referees hadn't taken greater steps to stop what was happening. Excuses were made that these weren't the usual Giants fans, who are apparently very classy, but replace­ ment fans who had gotten their seats from season-ticket holders who didn't feel like going to a meaningless game two days before Christmas. It was also said that Giants fans were sim­ ply frustrated by the team's worst fin­ ish in over a decade. On the other hand, the fans that attended the NFC wildcard playoff game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Detroit Lions at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia one week later, were anything but frustrated. It was at this game that I witnessed what makes NFL football games the best in all of pro sports. The fans that came to this game did not come to throw things at each other and act like animals. These were fans that came to a game to unite in cheering their hearts out in support of the team they loved. It seemed like almost a foregone con­ clusion that the Eagles were going to win, because every single one of them could feel the energy of over 60,000 screaming fans giving them that extra motivation to go out there and give everything they had. When it was ovet; the Eagles had come away with a phenomenal 58-37 victory that was not even that close, and every single person in the Vet felt as though they were part of one of the proudest days in the history of Phila­ delphia sports. The Eagles fans had shown that despite their bad reputa­ tion, they could be an excellent ex­ ample of how a good NFL crowd be­ haves by helping its team with sup­ port, not snow. So when you head on down to Charlotte next year to take in your first NFL game at Carolina Stadium, be pre­ pared for the different aspects of hu­ man nature. NFL fans can be an un­ usual bunch. They can be the best fans in the world or a crowd that makes the British soccer thugs look like boy scouts. t'lVS OFFERING THE BEST IN CHINESE CUISINE SINCE 1982 MLUNCH & DINNER BUFFETS "M:\VITFMS " General's C.hiihcn Reef and Rronoli Sweet Simr C.hiihcn n Sjiivy Chiehen • Tufu • Chinese Hire iXomlles • Sesame Ralls • Fresh Fruit • SeafmnI Delight • Cri\ft\ Shrimft shrimfj. nothing hut shrimfi) now featuring light eaters fare Come Enjoy A Candlelight Dinner *n 0ur NewIV Remodeled Dining Room i* I L U N C H MENU $4.75 BEERS WINE AVAILABLE w f • Tvriyalsi (hn kin MARKET CENTRE - 764-6299 OPEN 7 DAYS 11:30AM-9:30PM LUNCH BUFFET: 11 3DAM UNTIL 2:30PM f/ISu QINNER BUFFET: 5:30PM UNTIL 8:30PM NO IVISU We Are The Wonderful Chinese Restaurant In Boone Giants fans pelted the field with snow and ice (see man in circle) following a 99-yard interception return by Charger Shaun Gayle.

Campus police, judicial affairs, resi­ dence life and housing, University Attorney Dayton Cole, and the office of Vice Chancellor Blinding were in charge of updating the search and seizure policy. According to Capt. Larry C. Foster, university police investigator, one of the pri­ mary reasons the search and seizure policy was updated was because of the increasing drug use of students on campus. According to Blinding, the university dealt with as many drug violations last semester as they did all last year. "I think the new policy is great," said Foster. "It allows us (the university police) to enforce the policy to contain and control the drug problem on campus." According to the paperwork handed out by residence life, reasonable cause is listed, but is not limited to, smoke or odor of smoke coming from a room; other noxious odors; or the un­ accounted for, prolonged ab­ sence of the resident(s) of the living quarters pursuant to a concern lor their welfare. 'The new search and seizure policy is a step in the right direction," said Richard L. Geis, director of residence life. "It is an edu­ cational tool to make students aware of the consequences of their actions." T h e room search pro­ cess states that authorized per­ sonnel are free to seize illegal sub­ stances, contra­ band or stolen property in "plain view," per­ mitted to search rooms if there is reasonable ground for suspi­ cion, to inform residents of the search being conducted anu to offer residents the option of a voluntary search. 'The new search and seizure policy is a step in the right direction. It is an educational tool to make students aware of the consequences of their actions." —Richard L. Geis, director of residence life. "Our intent is to identify as many people as possible and do what we can to make sure they stop abusing drugs or that they are expelled from the university," said Blinding. "Since the policy has been in effect, we have been able to identify the largest number of people [abusing the policy] in any single week." According to Foster, when an illegal substances found in general areas of the room, like the refrigerator, both residents of the room will be written up, if the substance is not claimed by one roommate. However, if either student believes their rights have been violated due to false accusations, they should report the incident to the Director of Housing, Brad­ ley W. Keid. "The new search and seizure policy is taxing a more progressive campaign tuvvaiu the end of the drug problem on this campus," said Geis.

Also contributing to the record rid­ ership was the early activation of ski shuttles for Sugar Mountain Resort. Although these shuttles usually do not begin operating until after Christmas, early winter weather prompted AppalCART to begin their ski shuttles a month early, adding 2,288 passen­ ger trips.

One of the classrooms in Walker is shared with math. Communication courses are also taught in two non-controlled classrooms in Chapell Wilson and Raley Hall. According to Dorgan, the Communi­ cation Department is the only academic de­ partment on campus that is formally split be­ tween two buildings. Dr. Glenda J.

AppalCART was founded in 1981 as the Watauga County Transportation Author­ ity (WCTA). The following year, the WCDA absorbed AppalCART, the once exclusive transportation system of Appalachian.

Accuracy and Public Service since 1936 Our opinion... An act of congress While covering a story on the banning of rollerblades on campus, The Appalachian came across a very curious thing. Our news staff called several key faculty members trying to find who put up the signs so we could inquire what spurred the action and what it meant for students. Simple, right? How­ ever, we soon found out the information we wanted was evidently involved in a top-secret case. That was the only explanation we could come up with, anyhow, as to why this simple question could not be answered. First our news staff writer called Dr. Clyde Robbins, associate vice chancellor for physical op­ erations. The placement of signs are supposed to be his business, but he said the signs did not come out of his office. Robbins did suggest calling Roy Tugman, direc­ tor of public safety. It seemed like the next obvious step, but again The Appalachian was stonewalled. I Tugman said he could not make a statement until he spoke to Jane Helm, vice chancellor of business af­ fairs. We were unable to get in touch with Helm in time for our press deadline. The next day, we called Tugman back, but he still refused to make a comment until he talked to Helm. Due to lack of information, the only thing run about the prohibition of rollerblades were photos of bladers and the actual sign. The signs read, "Notice Rollerblades & Skateboards Prohibited," This, of course, sounds like a notice meaning all skateboards and all rollerblades are prohibited. There are no qualifiers used in the sign, right? However, the sign is misleading. After this issue went to press, Robbins called our office in response to the message left for Helm. The staff writer had left a message with Helm for her to call back either the staff writer or the new news edi­ tor. When Robbins called back, he asked for the new news editor, explaining that Helm had given him the me^hlgi*V6viMr"iK*,l!'

For those of you who blame homelessness on "the '80s": did you know that in 1982 the ACLU won a suit in the Supreme Court forcing drug, alcohol and mental health facilities to release anyone not posing a threat to them­ selves or anyone else? Now those suffering from easily treat­ able chemical imbalances and dependencies are enjoying the constitutional right to live in cardboard boxes after a hard day of screaming at cars instead of at a facility. For those of you whose knees jerk regarding that "rac­ ist" Strom Thurmond and for those of you who don't be­ lieve people can change: did you know that he was the first Southern senator, republican or democrat, to hire blacks on his staff, and that he voted to make Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday a national holiday? For those of you who promote, embrace or feel nos­ talgic about the idea of "Make Love Not War": did you know that in the U.S. AIDS has killed almost five times those in Vietnam?

To sum this up; in the "greedy" got richer, but under Clinton there are not o iS SI but they're getting poorer. For those of you still angry about the Am trade: did you know that Africa was practicin itable and widespread slave trade long befSa 4 the U.S. In fact, some "noble and peaceful llty 4 cans," especially the Cherokee, were just as^ 1 and treated their African slaves just as poorlv 1 the South.

It turns out, the signs were gener­ ated from his department. Funny how little things like that can slip your mind. The signs, by the way, were directed at children and high school kids who come onto campus to rollerblade. It has nothing to do with Appalachian students. After such a simple explanation, the question seems to be, why all the trouble? We certainly do not see what intrinsic value this information could possibly hold. If we were asking why biology stu­ dents were suddenly cropping up with genetic mu­ tations after working in a newly-erected campus building, we might expect a little more secretiveness. However, this was not a big story involving genocide or the maiming of little children. It was a simple question with a seemingly simple answer. Perhaps Tugman and Robbins should be moved into offices in closer proximity to Helm, where they would be able to find out in a more timely manner what infor­ mation they are and are not allowed to pass on. Renee Cagle News Editor cs so sensitive Vice President A1 Gore? For those of you who want the government to cure the ills of the poor: did you know that in 1965, prior to spending $5.2 trillion on the War on Poverty, the poverty rate was 15 percent, and after plundering the middle class and redistributing their hard earned money for 30 years it's still 14.5 percent? Well at ieast we can point to embar­ rassing public schools, a doubled teenage birthrate, and an increase in violent crime to prove government largesse hasn't been totally ineffective. » For those of you who say you care about Indians: did you know that according to the November 2, 1995 Wall Street Journal, the Inupiats, who are classified as Indians by the U.S. government, will have their standard of living cut in half if not allowed to claim their mineral rights on the Alaskan Refuge by drilling for oil? And that, while en­ vironmentalists call them "rich," they're just now building sewer and school systems while living in prefabricated homes? I want my 16 square feet of this public land used for oil drilling to save the Indians who own those mineral rights and were there first. The caribou survived the pipe­ line 20 years ago, it's the Inupiats survival that's at ques­ tion here. For those of you who believe legal discrimination in America has been eliminated: did you know that currently in 42 states both housing and employment can be denied to homosexuals? For those of you who criticize or even hate the Ameri­ can way of life while wringing your hands about overpopu­ lation, starvation, and the environment: did you know that America not only has one of the highest standards of living in the world (even some of the homeless are fat), but with the exception of our generous immigration policy, we have achieved zero population growth, have more square miles of forest and cleaner water than a hundred years ago and yc Gangsta rap is harmless If a rapper grew up in a violent neighborhood, then he/she would most likely rap about violence.

Paul C. Birge, a senior from Greensboro, presented a collection of his art work, titled "Pearl," at the Looking Glass Art Gallery Tuesday night. Birge gained the courage to show his work after spending the summer in Europe. Birge, a devout Catholic, was inspired by the way art is treated in Europe. "Over there they treat art as something sacred," Birge said. That reverence for art encouraged Birge to show the public a selection of his own work. Birge's work was selected by committee after he submitted an application to hold a show in the Looking Glass Art Gallery. The committee, according to gallery curator Stacy S. Spatz, a senior from Charlotte, chooses applicants based on the amount of work and whether or not the body of work has a cohesive theme. Birge's work is connected by a theme of Icons. In a short statement presented with the collection, Birge defines what the term "icon" means to him. "The definition I give to the word 'icon' is, 'an image in reverence to, in honor of, in memory of and in hope of....' " Birge goes on to say that these icons were created because they were needed and prayed about. Birge likened his paintings to completed prayers, suggesting that each physical layer of base and paint is a different stage of his prayer. When the painting is finished, he has capiured his prayer as a piece of art. The 90 minute show attracted over 30 people. At the show James D. Brooks, a senior from Shelby, said "It's beautiful, seeing the (progression) of his career. He has earned the title of 'artist.'" Spatz said "Many of the works have a story to tell and that story enriches the full impact of the work." Birge was happy that his friends were able to see his show because as he said "Many of the pieces were for my friends and their being here brought the art to a different level." Most observers were impressed with Birge's work. Leslie D. Snipes, a senior from Lancaster, said, "I enjoyed the show because I saw many of the works being created." Christine A. Hollis, a senior from Monroe, enjoyed the colors Birge used. "They were vibrant and powerful." Examples of Birge's artwork (above). Birge sees his artwork as an expression of prayer. Around thirty people in all turned out for Birge's I night of open display (bottom left). (Photos by Rebecca Goodheart) Celebrating a dreai Perrin Avent Reporter tional holiday of remembrance.

This nation was considered superior among others in the world in many ways, yet it chose to master the art of inferiority upon f its own black people. The same people who helped contribute to the greatness of the Ameri­ can dream were also refused it through segre­ gation. The birth of Rev.

One C 'In memory of Jenny' Stuart Crampton Reporter Tragedy has always played a big part in the theatre. However, when alumni and cur­ rent members of the Appalachian Department of Theatre and Dance hosted a series of one acts Saturday night in honor of an Appalachian graduate who recently passed away, there was not a soul in the Valborg Theatre who wouldn't have wanted to give this tragedy a happy end­ ing. The production, appropriately titled "In Memory of Jenny," was a collection of one act plays put on to raise funds for the Jenny E. Walton Memorial Award for Outstanding Scholarship in Theatre, a scholarship that's being established by the Department of The­ atre and Dance for rising seniors with the high­ est overall grade-point average. Dr. Susan Cole, Chairperson of the Depart­ ment of Theatre and Dance, whose idea it was to start the theatre scholarship, said she felt the Jenny E. Walton Award would be a great way to help theatre majors who have a tre­ mendous amount of influence on the theatre while excelling academically at the same time. "Jenny was an outstanding student who had a great impact on her peers as well as the the­ atre," said Cole. Walton graduated summa cum laude from Appalachian in 1993. Not only did she acquire a degree in theatre, but an obvious love for stage-managing and acting as well. After attending Yale for a short time, Walton returned to Boone to start the Real Theatre Company, a Christian theatre group that combined two of the most important forces in her life: God and the theatre. f who still struggled men are created equal." to reach the the concert hall.

It was around the time of the memorial service that Wally G. White, a 1991 Appalachian graduate, came up with the idea of putting on a show to both honor Walton and to help raise the $5,000 needed to set up the scholarship fund. "This production was a way for (her friends) to get back together and give back our talents to celebrate the life of a friend and to raise money to put a scholarship together," said White. In talking to the alumni who came from all across the country to pay tribute to their friend with one last show, one can only feel deprived for not having known Walton.

There are many different things that at­ tract students to the resorts.

After skiing for Ifrst time, freshman Margaret R Estridge \ Greenville, SC plans to keep going. She po problems with renting skis because of Another popular ski resort is Beech Moun­ tain. Freshman Ryan L. Hudgins and Rick D. Paden from Cary are two highly experienced skiers who try to go skiing every day. Paden said, "My favorite slope is the White Lightning because it is the hardest slope there." Hudgins prefers the Oz, and weather conditions that do not include ice. Although the weather isn't too dangerous if you bundle up, without proper skiing attire you could end up with some awk- ward bruises. The entire skiing apparel is necessary for protection. Toboggans, boots, pants, jackets and gloves are all necessities (in addition to skis). Freshman Kevin A. Freeman form Hickory said, "I enjoy the ski pants because they keep me from freezing my butt off when I fall." Mandy L. Safrit from China Grove said, "1 like my gloves - without them 1 would be miser­ able." Everybody seems to like something differ­ ent about skiing attire. Foggiamo and Jefferson both like wearing hats. Foggiamo said, "You can wear all sorts of crazy-looking hats." Jefferson also said, "Not only does the hat keep your hair out of your face, but it also keeps your whole body warm." There are many things that allow for ev­ ery skier to feel comfortable on the mountain. Kemp M. Houck, a sophomore from Lynchburg, VA. doesn't even know the name of his favor­ ite slope at Hawksnest. Houck says, "My fa­ vorite part about going skiing is when 1 take a nice break in the bar." So whether keeping warm means bundling up like an Eskimo or taking a few shots to heat up your insides, stay­ ing warm and having fun is what skiing is all about. ontinued from page 6 who knew her and those who worked with her through the theatre and the church re­ ally felt her influence and give her a lot of credit for things they've gone on to do," said Cole. "Jenny's love for Christ, for people and for the theatre was a very inspiring thing. A lot of good has come out of her life, and ever, maybe her death if you think about what this production is all about," said Heather M. Tomberline. a 1993 Appalachian graduate. Although the production itself was sec­ ondary to the reason for being there, it was a fitting tribute. Among the many well-per­ formed one act plays were two written by Walton. And like Walton, the plays were rich with spirituality and humor. The highlight of the show however, came with the finale. In a fifteen-minute monologue written and performed by C F. Morgan III, a close friend of Walton, the idea of Walton's stagemanaging the second com ing of Christ was humorously proposed. "It would be a show the world would never for get," said Morgan. Donations for the Jenny E. Walton Me­ morial Award are still being accepted by the Department of Theatre and Dance. I I KifVJlcd qnsmk-s «»l v mmmiiij; i km fc kiiij; Itcjri. C Hvn*lK-hiiii»£ Icar.

Anyone who's heard Nirvana's first album and com­ pared it to their over-produced and radio-friendly release, Nevermind, knows this first-hand. The hair bands of the 80's epito­ mized this. Everyone knew that these spandex-clad dorks didn't represent the heavy metal community accu­ rately. Gangsta rap has been made more pop-accessible by the record industry execs who are ready to duplicate their corporate creations of the 80's. All this is being done to a genre of music that would seemingly decry interference from the "Man" and being homog­ enized for public consumption. The moguls that have made gangsta rap the flavor of the month have also offered us substitutes - art­ ists who would not otherwise be clumped into this movement. Coolio is one of these substitutes. It's a shame that an artist with his talent would allow himself to be packaged as merely a "feel-good" version of gangsta rap. His music could undeniably.stand on its own. Coolio's new album, Gangsta's Paradise, sticks to the socially con­ scious vein of rap that he does best. Sometimes the songs are effective, other times they don't quite click. It would seem that all we're going to get from Coolio is the preachy sound of his first two singles from the album, the title track and "Too Hot." The man with the horn-like hair­ cut is on top of his game when he slams out the good-time raps that launched his career two years ago. The tracks that echo his "Fantastic Voyage" days are the ones that will keep him a fixture in popular music for years to come. Unfortunately, the album is weighed down with the predictable motifs of gangsta rap - the squealing backup singers, high-pitched synth drones, bottom-heavy booms and skits depicting life "in da hood." These things only clutter Coolio's style and keep him classified as just another "G." The highlights of the album are when it's just Coolio, his microphone and a danceable backbeat. He doesn't need the superfluous elements to make his music sell. He's just that good. Maybe next time around he'll strip it down and give rap the breath it needs right now - fun. BYOB 6 PAK LIMIT COLLEGE OF BUSINESS SPRING OPEN HOUSE WED., JANUARY 24, 1996 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. GRANDFATHER MOUNTAIN BALLROOM PLEMMONS STUDENT UNION Don't 'Monkey' with the future Steve Mackay Reporter Even though this is the season for cheerful, happy movies, the just re­ leased apocalyptic thriller, "Twelve Monkeys," is swinging into theaters. This is by far the most down beat film of all time (five billion people die!!!), but it's also slam-bang enter­ tainment that will have you scratch­ ing your head and hollering like a monkey. Directed by Terry Gilliam ("The Fisher King") and co-written by David Peoples ("Blade Runner"), "Twelve Monkeys" is a dark and disturbing tale about the end of humanity. The story is complicated and full of surprises, so I won't give too much away. In the year 2035, there are a handful of humans who live under­ ground. Every one else has been wiped out by a virus, purposely set off in Philadelphia in 1996 by a mysteri­ ous left-wing group that calls itself "The Army of the Twelve Monkeys." James Cole (Bruce Willis) is an inmate in an underground prison-lab, where scientist "volunteer" prisoners to go to the earth's surface and collect specimens of animals and plants. Other volunteering jobs include trav­ eling back in time to find a cure for the virus and put humans back on top of the food chain. Cole is assigned both jobs. Cole travels back to 1990 and 1996, traipsing around Philly and Bal­ timore. He meets a psychiatrist (Madeleine Stowe) and an insane ani­ mal-rights activist (Brad Pitt) at a loony bin. This nutcase's father is a famous scientist who studies viruses. "Twelve Monkeys" goes in 24 di­ rections and keeps the surprises com­ ing in waves. Just when you think you've caught on to the story, Gilliam throws in another banana for you to slip on. The setting of the story is its heart. Philadelphia (my home town) is the birthplace or our nation. There, our forefathers decided the fate of our country in its infancy. Now, it has fallen into decay and its present inhab­ itants will destroy the world. (Not for real, I'm still talking about the movie!!) This is a brilliant stroke of casting yes, Philly is a character here. The human cast, including Chris­ topher Plummer and Frank Gorshin (the original Riddler) are all superb. It's Pitt, though, who steals the show. His character is a crock pot, full of twitches, uncontrollable gestures and wild eyes. As he did in the spectacu­ lar "Seven," Pitt tackles a role that proves he's much more than a sex sym­ bol. 'Twelve Monkeys" should also be commended for having the guts to make left-wing animal rights groups the villains in this movie. Most of Hollywood (a Mecca for leftists) makes right-wing people out to be the scourge of the earth; here there is a true dosage of equal treatment. Grade: A- The Appalachian is seeking sales reps.

Junior forward Melissa Davis added 17 points, which included a trio of field goals from beyond the three-point arc. Appalachian State made eight treys in 20 attempts on the night. Marshall's Stephanie Wine poured in 20 points, as the Thundering Herd (4-11, 1-3 in Southern Conference play) battled ASU to a standstill in the first half. Starting guard Natalie Rosko did not take the floor for Marshall, and freshman Michelle Lenhart managed just three points and four turnovers in Rosko's place. Although both Davis and Hinton fouled out in the game's closing minutes, their team­ mates held off the Thundering Herd after trail­ ing by two at the half. Karolina Karlqvist, collecting 30 minutes off the bench, had nine points and a team-high seven rebounds. Shannon Spencer stayed on the court for all but two minutes, scoring 14 in ASlTs third road game in a row. The senior is known for her ability to get her teammates the basket­ ball where they can score more easily. But this season Spencer is averaging 10.4 points, sec­ ond on the team to Hinton's 12.0, while still dropping five assists per game. Appalachian's fourth straight win im­ proves its record to 11-4 overall, and 4-0 in the Southern Conference. The Mountaineers face East Tennessee in Johnson City tommorrow, before returning to play Georgia Southern on January 27 for the start of an eight-game home stand. Andreia Hinton drives to the hoop in a game against ETSU last season. She led Appalachian with 21 points against Marshall Saturday. (File photo) I Mike Daniels Assistant Sports Editor After leading the match with just two bouts to go, the ASU wrestling team lost to UNC-Greensboro last Friday in Greensboro. The Mountaineers held a 17-14 lead af­ ter wins by Matthew Bentley and Jason Hooker at 167 and 177 pounds. Hooker's major decision over Mike Gialanella gave Appalachian its first lead since being up 3-0 after the opening match. Unfourtunately, the Apps could not hold this lead. First, Eddy Clark lost a tough overtime decision to Eric Sanders in the 190 pound match to tie the score 17 all. 17 all Then in the rubber match, heavyweight Seth Meyerson lost a 12-8 decision to Ben Stark to give UNC-Greens­ boro the victory.

In the extra period, the Mountaineers could only add five points while sending the Bulldogs to the line six times in which they shot 8-12. Appalachian, which had shot 43 percent during regulation, hit only 2-9 from the floor in OT. The Mountaineers got off to a good start as they built up a 10-point lead midway through the first half 16-6. The Bulldogs could not get closer than six and Appalachian's lead grew to as many as 13 on a Braswell layup with 3:27 to go. ASU took an eight-point lead into the in­ termission and looked to have things under control. The Mountaineers were three of four from beyond the arc in the first half and shot 46.7 percent from the field. Coming out of the break, the Mountain­ eers continued their first half success led by Braswell who accounted for eight of ASlPs first 14 points, including two from beyond the arc. Appalachian led the Bulldogs 52-46 mid­ way through the half and again built a doubledigit lead at 64-54 on a three by Braswell with 5:42 to play. The scrappy Bulldogs, however, would not five up and continued to remain close. The Citadel had narrowed the lead down with un­ der a minute to play when Castillo hit the three to tie it up at 70-70. Appalachian was led by Braswell with 25 points in 41 minutes. Tige Darner added 14 and Clint Crosston and Brian Hege both added 11 for the Mountaineers. The Bulldogs were led by Castillo with 25 points and Matt Newman with 21 points. Both had seven rebounds. Appalachian fell to 5-9 overall and 1-1 in the Southern Conference, while the Bulldogs are now atop the conference at 3-0 and 8-5 overall. The Mountaineers will next face Davidson, tonight at 7:00 p.m. in Varsity Gym. Junior Braswell brings the ball up against Georgia Tech earlier this sen He scored 25 against The Citadel Saturday. ASU lost 84-75. (File phot ACC hoops still tough Sports in David Willis Sports Editor Sports Commentary After having three sophomores taken as lottery picks in the National Basketball Asso­ ciation draft last year, the Atlantic Coast Con­ ference was supposed to have an off year, but with some unlikely heroes and great coach­ ing, the ACC is as competitive as ever. There is no question that if Jerry Stackhouse, Rasheed Wallace, and Joe Smith had stayed at their respective schools, that North Carolina and Maryland would be ranked No. 1 and 2 in the country, but since that did not happen, they have been forced to find other ways to win. In a supposed down year, the ACC has had eight of its nine teams ranked in the top 25 at one point or another this season; not too shabby. No team in the conference has a los­ ing record, Virginia being the closest at .500. Clemson and North Carolina State are having their best seasons in years and are once again gaining national recognition. Duke looked to be on top again with the return of Coach K, but even his brilliance can­ not make up for the fact that they just do not have the talent of recent years, but have made huge strides since last year. They just recently put together two consecutive ACC wins, a feat they have not accomplished in two years. The Devils would be in real trouble this season if it were not for the surprise player of the year Greg Newton. Newton is leading the league in field goal percentage and is playing quite well. Wake Forest, a mainstay in the top 10 this year, continues to do well despite the loss of Randolph Childress, also to the NBA. Tony Rutland and Rusty LaRue are having great sea­ sons for the Demon Deacons, and as I said last year, Tim Duncan is not only the best center in the ACC, but the entire country. Georgia Tech has been its usual up and down self, but recently pulled out three big wins, including a blowout of Carolina. Fresh­ man sensation Stephon Marbury, along with the two most underrated players in the ACC in Drew Barry and Matt Harpring, have helped native Atlantans forget about Best and Forrest. Virginia has had to depend on their backcourt as well, and the duo of Harold Deane and Curtis Staples have responded. The lack of a dominant presence inside has really hurt the Cava­ liers, but a Jeff Jones team always plays good defense. North Carolina has risen from the depths of the pre-season unranked to a top 10 ranking, thanks in great part to freshman wonder Antawn Jamison. Jamison has set freshman records for UNC with a 20-board game against UVA and a 31-point outing against the Terrapins. Also, point guard Jeff Mclnnis is finally com­ ing into his own now that he is out of the shad­ ows of Stackhouse and Wallace. Carolina, while only about seven players deep, is hav­ ing a great year recruiting and should be back to its old self next year. Rick Barnes has his Tigers playing well and in the top 25 for the first time in a few years. Clemson looked to be a fluke when trounced by Carolina and a second loss to Florida State, but regained its composure this past weekend to stifle the Wake Forest offense and pound the number six Deacs, a game in which Clemson went without two starters. N.C. State is also trying to get back into the spotlight with some quality wins and a couple of thrillers against UMass and Duke. Todd Fuller has the Wolfpack playing well again and is probably the best senior center in the country and depending on which under­ classmen come out in this year's draft, he could be a lottery pick. Maryland, desperately missing Joe Smith, has had to rely on its backcourt combination of Johnny Rhodes and Duane Simpkins, but may go from the top of the conference to the cellar. Also, the Terps will lose a couple of starters to graduation for the first time in a couple years and if Gary Wil­ liams cannot come up with a stellar recruit­ ing class, could re­ main there next sea­ son as well. Finally, Florida State is playing well again for the first time since it lost its Heisman win­ ner and James Collins is a big part of that. The Seminoles will hang around the lower middle of the pack, but could be a threat next season with a good year recruiting. As for an early conference prediction, Wake Forest has the edge, but if Tech can find some consistency, they could be on top. And don't forget, just like the sign in the Tarheel locker room states, "This is still Carolina." Dean may be doing his best coaching job in years. Jamison has set freshman records for UNC with a 20board game against UVA and a 31-point outing against the Terrapins.

Surfing takes to the snow and air. Appalachian State University, Boone, North Carolina, 28608 ^ Volume 70, Number 23 i Blizzard of '96 delays classes jlison Pennell ssistant News Editor Appalachian State University and Uny businesses delayed or canceled their ser­ ies for at least one day when 27 inches of ,w fell in Watauga County Jan. 5-7. Three factors were involved in delayclasses Wednesday Jan. 10. Dr. Gregory S. fenling, vice chancellor for student developicnt, said the roads were hazardous and stu­ nts would have a much safer chance of ar­ ming at a later time, and campus parking lots ud to be prepared. Another issue they had to gok at was the number of faculty and stall ,ho were still snowed it. Blimling said he did not know if ^es would have been delayed if students ud been in Boone. "Decisions are made diftrently then," he said. For one thing, they do lot have to take into consideration that stulents may be traveling long distances. He said le: thinks they still would have had to delay at "It's the cast one day, though. Chancellor's call," said Blimling. Normally the provost, vice chancel­ lor for business affairs, and vice chancellor for student development talk about the situation and recommend their decision to the chancel­ lor. But Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski was out of town this time. Blimling said the last time Appalachian was delayed was in 1993 after spring break. He said occasions have also occurred where classes have been delayed while students were still on campus. "It's a judgemei.t call," said Blimling. "One factor we take into consideration is how many students live on campus.' He said 8500 full-time un­ dergraduates live around campus. Five thousand of those students live in dorms and most who live in apart­ ments are still immediately adjacent to the university. Blimling said the primary concern is getting faculty and staff to school. He said this is usually not a serious problem. Clearing the sidewalks, parking lots, and the roads connecting the buildings around campus is part of the job of the physical plant, said Blimling. "The physical plant did an excellent job," Blimling said. They worked continuously beginning at 3 a.m. on Sunday Jan. 7. Around town, numerous businesses were delayed or canceled because of the bliz­ zard. According to Tim Baxter, host of the High Country Cable Morning Show, more busi­ nesses were closed last Monday than were open. "Most opened for a limited time Tues­ day, but Monday was the roughest." 262-SNOW up and running Laurie Lyda Reporter The storm of '96 brought uncertainty about classes along with "mountains" of snow, but with the installation of 262-SNOW (2627669), students, staff and faculty were able [to acquire much-needed information about class cancellations. / The experimental phone line was set lip in December, and was actually a tempo- Sly measure to judge response, said Patricia f Taylor of Staff, Systems & Special Projects. And the response was overwhelming. Thylor said the lines were so over­ loaded with traffic during the blizzard the machines could not handle it. It was basi­ cally due to "equipment problems." "A new announcer was installed at first but it didn't work properly, so another machine was substituted," said Taylor. A for­ warding line was also installed, so in effect there were two lines, she said. A meeting is being scheduled to dis­ cuss what can be done in the future to avoid such problems;. Currently, 262-SNOW is in use. Only a few were brave enough to drive King Street in 27 inches of snow. (Photo byJ.D.

The town of Boone currently has an ordinance against rollerblading and skating on sidewalks, according to Sgt. T.M. Norris of the Boone Police. "Private businesses have banned them from their parking lots because they in­ terfere with their business traffic," he said. Some students felt the signs were a little extreme. "I don't think they should be prohibited completely, just during certain hours," said Jeanne M. Garber, a junior from Charlotte. Mason L. Reuter, a junior from Char­ lotte, said, "Rollerblades aren't that bad. It's inconvenient, though, when you see someone on a skateboard and they can't turn fast enough."

The most important product of his eff0"n personslity: The Fairness, Accuracy and Public Service since 1936 Our opinion... Neither rain nor sleet nor g l o o m o f n i g h t will s t o p . . the AppalCart?! ; Neither rain nor sleet nor gloom of night will keep AppalCart from delivering top-notch service to Students of Appalachian and the townspeople of Boone - nor did the Blizzard of 1996. The trusty postal system even had to shut down for a day. Per­ haps they should have hired AppalCart drivers and jauses to help them out. While most students were unable to get back up the mountain the weekend of the big storm, those hlready here were not nearly as inconvenienced by the approximately two feet of snow. Why? Because the AppalCart ran all in-town routes. The only routes not run were those which took the buses out into the county, where back roads were simply too hazard­ ous to navigate. According to Stan, a spokesperson from AppalCart, the longest delay experienced by any rid­ ers was about 30 minutes. The delays were due mostly to having to dodge cars stuck in the white stuff. And the route which had the most problems was the Green Route. This, of course, is due to the fact that this route takes the buses the furthest out of the downtown-Blowing Rock Road area; it goes all around the town via Highway 421. The AppalCart buses, however, had no problems making it through. The buses are not equipped with four-wheel drive, only chains and the determination of the drivers. Stan said the only problems any of the drivers had came while they were trying to get to the station to pick up their buses. After that, it was semi-smooth sailing; there were no accidents. One driver even told one of our writers that AppalCart is responsible for contracting to have Bodenheimer Road leading up to Appalachian Heights scraped. Although our man Stan did not know anything about this, it seems to fit with the general attitude of the outfit; showing initiative and being helpful. (Although it does seem rather odd that our university would not see to it themselves that the road was safe for students who were already back and living in Appalachian Heights, such as RAs.) Stan also reported to us that there were quite a few townsfolk to be found riding the AppalCart dur­ ing the storm. Evidently, it was a lot safer and more reliable than trying to steer the family Buick through all that mess. For the few businesses who still re­ quired their employees to brave the elements and come to work, the AppalCart was a perfect mode of transportation. If they lived inside the town limits and were close enough to an AppalCart stop to walk, townsfolk simply could not pass up the opportunity to utilize a service which most usually take for granted. So here is a heartfelt thanks to all the employees who made it to work so the rest of us would not have to be snowed-in. We admit, we usually take you guys for granted, and even occasionally knock your driving. Of course, when you have to dive to the curb to miss a three-ton bus hurtling down River Street to get to its next stop on time, it's sometimes hard to bite your tongue and recognize the service being done for us. But this is one time we simply have to give credit where credit is due. AppalCart employees, we thank you for braving the elements on our behalf.

The 700 Club is a Christian organization with com­ mon place goals like ensuring family values, keeping America moral, and converting the continent of Asia to Christianity. This, in of itself, is nothing new or particu­ larly exciting. I watched right much of the program any­ way, mainly because I enjoy the charisma of the speakers, and to see what the rascals are currently up to. I was prepared for there to be a big push on money, after all, it was the reason for the program. They had clev­ erly divided the sponsors into different categories: The 700 Club, 1000 club, etc. until the highest group (both in di­ vinity and money...coincidence?) was the Founders Club. Anyone who gave enough money for this club was giddily announced over the air by Pat himself. The push for money was intense, even for a marathon. There was a set goal, and they divided the goal into how many thousands of dollars were needed a minute to meet the "challenge," which came in just under a million dollars the nights I watched. Where does the money go? China was focused on immensely during the program, as there seems to be a big growth in Christianity there now. Great concern was placed on getting more missions to go into China and convert some more. You can never really have enough Christians, and there are a lot of people in China. Perhaps as the last powerful communist country, China is seen as less Christian then other countries in the David Willis Sports Editor Richard Smith Mike Daniels Asst Features Editor Asst Sports Editor David Wainer Chief Copy Editor Editorial Department 2B2-6233 or 262-3104 Advertising Department 262-2157 Production Department 262-6256 J think so.

Films were shown of Chinese people convert­ ing, so the viewers could see ex­ actly what Asian conversion looks like. There was also an attack on "trashy situation comedies" that are proponents of unmarried people living together and occa­ sionally having unconsummated sex. While I am not sure I would target "Friends" as a mainline spreader of darkness and sin, these situation comedies were harshly attacked. The 700 Club even put forward the notion that anyone who knew God would not let this kind of garbage come into the house. Apparently this is a bigger problem then I had previ­ ously imagined. And, the importance of American Morality, and the current decline of it, were driven home with skits about the possible future if more people do not find God the 700 Club way. Morality, though amaz­ ingly abstract and thought to be on the decline in most every culture since the beginning of time, is important and maybe even on the decline. Sponsors from $20 a month to $200 a month are obviously concerned with this pro­ jected decline in morality. And what better way could there be to stop this decline than giving money to the 700 Club? But these aren't the only benefits. Though brief, at one point the connection between giving money and know- J ing God were directly compared by the telecast. i»t unsure how much more the sponsors know God fajj who are just big fans of the show, or even those wj • go to church, but I would guess those who sponsorJ Club probably know God about 36 percent better V ing on exactly how much money is given.

Folks, here's a message, you're at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina, set high atop a mountain. Cold weather and snow are a natu­ ral part of this wonderful little world. So deal with it. If you don't like the climate, then leave for the beach. I hear UNC Wilmington is a great place to pump-up those brain muscles. In the past week, I've heard dozens of people wish that the snow "would just go away" and hope that spring comes soon. I ask these lifetime whiners, "Why are you even here?" Did you think the ASU campus would be warmer than Chapel Hill because we're a thousand feet closer to the sun? Or did the hot air rises theory throw you for a loop? Either way, it's high time you people mosev on down to the National Guard building and ask for some government handout clues. Also, you might want to trans­ fer. Another popular legion of complainers are the stu­ dents who cry when they have to go to class when there's the slightest trace of snow or ice on the ground. Growing up in Philadelphia, we might get a day off if the snow were above a foot. Anything less and it would be another day of math and school cafeteria french fries.

S. By the way, you would have gone to jail if you had jmmitted character assassination in Germany. Rememtrthat the person has not even been found guilty to this oint of time. I'm writing in response to an article written in the edi­ torial section by Daniel Bothun (It's the 90's: Flyers will fly no more, Dec.5,1995). To begin with, 1 don't understand why Mr. Bothun has decided that the use of paper flyers as a means of public communication is an assult on him personally, which is the immediate impression 1 received when I first read the article. Mr. Bothun has managed to present his case in a very narrow minded and unintelligable manner that lacks any objective point of view. All the student body and the general public needs to hear is another whining college student pushing their cause against "causes" and doing so by using extreme examples that have nothing in common with the point. What does the price of a ream of computer paper have to do with the presence of flyers on campus that most likely were not even produced from an ASU computer lab? I am one of those individuals that puts a number of those flyers in Mr. Bothun's "face," and before he starts preaching "save the trees" he should first think about what his article is printed on and second, the costs of alternative mediums such as "e-mail," not to mention the trade-offs to not using paper such as the pollution from the electric plants that produce power for our computers and kill the trees, streams, etc. This isn't an essay, so if you need more argument, write me. (e-mail or paper). I believe what I'm trying to say is that The Appalachian runs a pretty good newspaper; don't ruin it by allowing a columnist who can't make (or choose) an intelligent point offend everyone in the book just to speak his mind.

At the same time I am a commis­ sioned officer in the United States Army Military Police Corps serving as part of fhetlnited Nations'"Peacekeeping force in the Republic of Haiti. Yesterday, [Dec. 17] Haitians enjoyed their first demo­ cratic presidential election since the return of Aristide. I was leading a patrol in the capital of Port-au-Prince for 13 hours during the elections. Did we carry missiles and in­ timidate Haitian voters? NO! Let me tell you how we spent our patrol on election day. My patrol, consisting of seven Military Police, two ve­ hicles, and one interpreter was taking a rest stop at a local gas station. We were just about to "move out" when we heard a loud crash and screams coming from up the street.

Grading system deserves an 'F Tim Nicholson Columnist The grade "A-", what does it even mean? Bad good­ ness? Mediocre excellence? Some schools don't use plus or minus; some give "A+'s to logically balance the "A-'s. Appalachian and a few other schools choose to taint the best grade with a minus and refuse to balance it with a plus. Why? Take elation and make it just another dull, negative part of school. We wouldn't want school to be too good. Excellent should mean excellent. Such a picky and negative distinction matters in a very stria competi­ tion, which defeats the very students school seeks to lift up, the main purpose of education. Drop the A-, or at least add and "A+"! It doesn't make sense and only hurts good students. Why? Minus means negative. "A" (which means excellence and signifies the most positive performance) owns the distinction of being the only grade without a plus, but with a minus. Why have an "A-" but no "A+"? If an "A" signifies the most positive, then what sense does it make to attach a negative sign to it. In mathmatical terms, multiplying a positive number by a negative number pro­ duces a negative, so adding a minus to the "A" (the ulti­ mate plus) makes plus - minus! Does that make any sense at all? Why have no "A+"? Making the most positive grade even more positive may not seem to make sense, however I could see giving Mozart or Einstein an "A+" in their We spun our vehicles around and headed toward the sounds. What we saw could send shock waves through even the toughest person. A Haitian Tap-Tap, a small pick-up converted into a taxi by adding benches and a cover to the back, had flipped over and crashed into a local market area. There were people everywhere. We called for back-up and soon another one of my platoons' patrols arrived at the scene. My soldiers went right back to work trying to save lives. It wasn't long be­ fore we ran out of rubber gloves and bandages. Even though Haiti has the highest AIDS and disease rate in our hemisphere that didn't stop our soldiers from continuing to work on the wounded. When we ran out of bandages we cut t-shirts and when the Haitian ambulance didn't ar­ rive after one hour we flagged down two more Tap-Taps and used them as ambulances. Overall we provided first-aid for 13 Haitians. Though five had moderate to critical wounds, no one died in the hour and a half we worked on them. My soldiers went fields because they are above grading. Why doesn't Appalachian have an "A+"? Why allow a minus when you don't allow a plus? No one has satisfaaorily explained the apparent inconsistency. I under­ stand why we don't use "F-" or "F+rf; failure is failure rather than a degree of achievement. "F" is not a grade at all. This makes sense, but not the "A" thing. So we have two inconsistencies to deal with: first, the "negative excellence" of "A-" (a paradox at best); and second, a negatively unbalanced grade scale (in a system dedicated to positive improvement of our lives). The most positive grade is the only grade without a positive at­ tachment. Someone please write in and make sense of these two specific problems. The + and - attachments make some sense, making the scale more precise, although why not just make it "A" through "K", three times as many letter grades, rather than confusing things. I believe most teachers would much rather give an "A" than an "A" because it is safe. It takes guts to give "A's. In any judging people tend to shy away from extremes but feel more secure being negative because as a professor said, just today, being too positive looks dumb. Admit­ ting that we consider something or someone really good without a comfortable consensus makes us feel vulner­ able. Rumor also has it that within the departments pres­ sure exists to give "A's very rarely (the Bell Curve medioc­ rity syndrome) Why? Instead of an indication of the effi­ cacy of the course and teaching methods, some profes­ sors seek to match a predetermined curve. The trouble arises in that matching the Bell Curve obscures whether the class is learning what is taught and makes all classes and teachers seem exactly the same. How do you tell if the teaching method works or if the class is all geniuses or all have learning disabilities? above and beyond their duty as American service men and women. They are the real image of American Peacekeep­ ers that America should see.

Clark Cross, former Appalachian student ;iay Barbour eatures Editor No poles, one ski, total freedom. Ask any iwboarder and they will tell you this is why :y chose snowboarding over skiing. To the casual observer snowboarding isn't seem much different from skiing. A irson slides down a snowy mountain on a lat, thin board. The only obvious difference is that snowboarders use no poles and only one board. Not so, says W. Clark Cross, a former Apilachian student from Asheville. "The two * as different as apples and oranges," says ross. "Skiers are usually concerned with goig downhill fast, snowboarders perform icks, catch air and carve their way downhill." In fact, many snowboarders feel their lort has more in common with skate boardg or surfing than with skiing. "The freestyle icksmowboarders do, like 360's, grabs, nose belies and rail slides, are all derived from ateboarding," says Cross. Hawksnest's Assistant Ski Director and falachian senior, Gordon "Chip" Coxe, says >w boarding is a lot like surfing. "I agree many of the tricks are derived from skatearding, but the overall feel reminds me more turfing." For whatever reason people are attracted to snowboarding; more and more are trying it every year. According to Jonathan "Wishbone" Beall, an employee of Edge of the World Snowboard Shop in Banner Elk, snowboard sales have doubled every year for the last few years. "The sport is definitely taking off. At first only certain people wanted to try it, but now a wider range of people are getting in to it," says Beall. What is it about snowboarding that is at­ tracting so many people? Beall, an Appala­ chian senior, says it is the freedom snowboarding gives you. "There is a whole lot more you can do as far as tricks with snowboarding. Skiing is much more limited, especially in the east where the mountains are smaller and there's less room to maneuver." Cross agrees with Beall. "With skiing you have two poles and two skis to worry about. On a snowboard you don't have to worry about any of that." Aside from the freedom snowboarding allows you, many people feel that it is easier on the body than skiing. Skiers often hurt their legs, knees and ankles. Snowboarders don't seem to have this problem. "You are in a natu­ ral standing position, so you don't get hurt as much," says Beall. Most injuries snowboarders receive deal with the upper body. "Let me put it this way, snowboarders never have to worry about strad­ dling a tree," says Cross. For years the difference between skiing and snowboarding went beyond the physical aspects of the sport. In fact, until recently there was a mutual animosity between skiers and snowboarders. "Originally there was a strong tension between skiers and snowboarders, but that is changing with snowboarding's adoption into the mainstream," says Coxe. Most skiers resented snowboarders. Much of this was due to the types of people who prac­ ticed snowboarding. Breaking the mold of the somewhat conservative element who skied, snowboarders were often wilder, more daring and definitely younger. Their boards were usu­ ally covered with wild graphics and sometimes their hair and dress followed suit. "Early on snowboarders were usually the same people who liked to skateboard," says J. Spencer Cooke, a native of Boone who has been snowboarding for almost three years. Cooke says the earlysnowboarders tended to have their own niche and did not care for skiers. He says the relationship is getting bet­ ter, but adds, "There are tons of snowboarders who still have attitudes." Part of the reason the relationship is get­ ting better between the two is the acceptance of the sport by the established resort areas. One of Hawksnest's ski patrollers uses a snowboard and Coxe believes this helps get rid of the stereotypical reaction to snowboarders. Also, the fact that snowboarding is going to be a spectator sport in this year's winter Oympics and a medal sport in the next Olym­ pics supports Cooke's feeling that, Junior David G Collier (top photo) and senior Joel A. Handschin (above) "Snowboarding is not a passing fad, it's here to stay." catch air on their snowboards.

But with all the winweather encasing us, plans for the sum• are far from the minds of most college ndT ^owever> T°r the savvy and careere . summer plans are becoming top priln the form of internships. l ovv is the time for those interested in F®er mternships to polish resumes, sweetjonnections, and ship out applications, to th ^ many companies have deadlines far many others are deciding right M» jC students score the internships that "ead to great careers. This increased chance of employment is just one part of what internships are all about. Through learning on the job and attaining real world experience, students enter the workplace with more than just classes under their belts. Employers tend to like this "experience" thing, and are able to offer internships because they get low-cost labor in addition to a college-edu­ cated employee. This is a win-win situation for everyone involved, but especially for stu­ dents. "An internship is the single most impor­ tant thing on a resume," says Bob Webber, in­ ternship coordinator at the Career Develop­ ment Center. Webber works one-on-one with students and employers at every level of the internship process. He says that while being Internship^^^^ to jobs 1991 -921 74.1% of 337 employers report that their organizations select cooperative education students and interns with the idea of hiring them for permanent employment upon graduation Source Recruiting Trends The Collegiate Employment Research Institute. 1991-92. employed at a restaurant or department store "shows that you're employable, these jobs just don't speak to the settings like the internship experience." But internships aren't just resume-build­ ers, they also force the student to prepare men­ tally for the real world. "It comes down to being exactly like a job search," says Webber. And getting there is only half the fun/re­ ward that an internship can bring. As interns, students do the tasks that one day will be done as part of their careers, such as rubbing elbows with the higher-ups that could one day become colleagues. But can an internship really mean having it all? Well... yes, actually. "I had all the benefits an intern could ask for," says Laura E. Looney, a senior from Win­ ston-Salem, who did a 10-week internship with Royal Insurance in Charlotte. As an intern, she was given her own projects, including help­ ing to determine an increase or decrease in auto insurance rates for New York state. This paid internship led to experience, new friends, and even an invitation to return over Christ­ mas break. Best of all, says Looney, "They called last week with a job offer." Dozens of other stories like this from Ap­ palachian Alumni are yours for the taking in the offices of departmental internship coordi­ nators. These people have binders with names and addresses of former students who have climbed to the top of the internship ladder all the way to their cushy positions at the top. While not every department has an internship coordinator, there are still plenty of other re­ sources available. Over a dozen of the biggest ones are listed in "Landing a Power Internship," the workshop presented at the Career Development Center several times each semester. These major re­ sources give students access to literally hun­ dreds of possibilities - and these are just the published ones. Webber tells the story of one former Ap­ palachian Student Ambassador who was giv­ ing what seemed like just another campus tour. By the tour's end, one parent was so impressed with the ambassador's presentation skills that he gave the student a business card which led to an internship. The internship then led to a full-time position with the parent's company. But why go to all the trouble of becoming an ambassador hoping for that magic business card when there is an entire center on campus devoted to developing your career? Located on the second floor in I. G. Greet, the Career Development Center is the ultimate resource for anyone even thinking of an internship, job, networking, or -well, you get the picture. Several times each semester the center offers workshops on interviewing, resumes, internet job searching and more. Students should come in with some ideas in mind of what they want from an internship as well as what they want after graduation. "Make us a part of your project as early as possible," says Webber, and with good rea­ son. Deadlines for internship applications are fast approaching, and a few have already passed. But not to worry- there is still time to get in gear. The center is open 7:30 - 5:30 Monday through Friday, and until 7:00 p.m. on Wednesdays. "You wouldn't buy a car without sitting in it," says Webber, "and an internship gives a company. 400 hours to test drive a person." So stop by the Career Development Center or see your department's coordinator to find out how to get taken for a ride. The road may lead to a very bright future.

"A LITTLE PRINCESS" is the best liveaction children's film of the year, but it was crushed by bigger, louder commercial films. Full of magic and imagination, this is a not so little gem. 8. "THE ENGLISHMAN WHO WENT UP A HILL BUT CAME DOWN A MOUNTAIN" has the longest title of the year, but it's also one of the wittiest. A charming peak at a Welsh town that literally makes a mountain out of a hill. 7. "ROB ROY," inspired by the legendary Scottish hero, is a rousing adventure that ex­ cels even further with the best (and most vio­ lent) climax of the year. 6. "MR. HOLLAND'S OPUS," an emotional story of a musician dealing with his son's deaf­ ness, is a wonderful film that celebrates the best in the human spirit. 5. "CRIMSON TIDE" is not only the year's most suspenseful thriller, it has one of the bi 1 psih smEs insulins ccnrcn © is s l o p e s Thursday Is q susidbssbi nenims 4. Mel Gibson's "BRAVEHEART," the other great Scottish epic of the year, is a bone-crush­ ing, glorious film about the war leader who died to gain freedom. 3. "NIXON" may be all truth or just pulp fiction, but Oliver Stone has created yet an­ other cinematic wonder. An extra vote for Anthony Hopkins, who may win a second Os­ car. 2. Tom Hanks goes even higher with "APOLLO 13," an eye-popping blast about the 1970 trip to the moon that went ka-boom. Any movie that has the heroes using slide rulers is a winner in my book. 1. The funhouse event of the year is "TOY STORY," Disney's computer-animated master­ piece about a cowboy (again Hanfe5 and a space ranger(Tim Allen). This is the best look at the imagination of children ever put into a movie intended for children. The little boy inside me can't help but applaud in wonder. Other 1995 winners include "Get Shorty," "Twelve Monkeys," "Seven" and "The Usual Suspects." Now, my beloved list of 1995 movies that 1 found so appallingly bad they still keep me up at night with the shakes. 10. If King Arthur were still alive and he saw "FIRST KNIGHT," he'd die from shame.

The Mountaineers jumped out to a 2-0 lead on a basket by senior Brian Hege. The two teams then traded leads for the first seven minutes until junior Junior Braswell knocked down a 17-footer to give ASU a 16-14 lead with 12:23 remaining in the first half. Appalachian built up a 10-point lead 3626 on a layup by Livingston with 5:04 left in the half and built its biggest lead of the game two possessions later on freshman Blair Adderl/s three pointer to put the Apps up 4632. The Thundering Herd did not quit how­ ever and closed the gap to 47-38 on a last sec­ ond tip by Frank Lee. Livingston led the Mountaineers at the break, scoring 16 as sophomore Tige Darner added 11 in the half. Appalachian shot 56 percent from the floor and held Marshall to just 38 percent. The Mountaineers also outrebounded the Herd 23- double with 8 points,12 boards, and 11 assists. Darner also added 16 points. The Mountaineers played by far their best game of the year, shooting 54 percent from the floor and 18-22 from the line. Appalachian's defense also did a great job, holding Veney to just 5-17 shooting. "Our goal was to improve during our nonconference schedule and to play better ball during the conference schedule," commented ASU Head Coach Tom Apke. "It was time to put up or shut up. Today, we had to play. "We had them down last year, but they came back. We are really pleased with the win. It proves that we can compete and for us to be a contender, we have to keep playing well." The Mountaineers improve to 5-8 on the year and will compete again on Saturday when the team will travel to The Citadel for a 7:00 p.m. tipoff. 16. Coming out of the intermission, Marshall Coach Billy Donovan (one of Rick Pitino's un­ derstudies) had his team pumped up and the Herd closed the score to 51-50 on an inside shot by John Brannen. However, free throws by Darner and Adderly pushed the lead back to four and the Mountaineers weathered the storm. Appalachian was again able to build a 10point lead on a three by senior Rob Arnold to give ASU a 75-65 lead with 9:15 remaining in the game. The Herd however, would make another run as the game began to wind down. The Mountaineers would only score four points in the final five minutes. A dunk by Livingston put ASU in front 87-82. Two free throws by Hege after getting pushed into and over the SportSouth table with 2:26 remaining gave ASU the 89-84 lead. A three by Marshall's Sidney Coles brought the Herd to 89-87. Following a missed shot and a timeout by both teams, Marshall's Keith Veney was fouled by sophomore Clint Crosston with 1.7 seconds remaining. Veney, the Southern Conference's leading three point shooter and an 80 percent free throw shooter, missed the front end and the Mountaineer held on for the huge win. Livingston finished with 33 points and 8 boards. Braswell finished just shy of a triple Sports Editor Appalachian State's women's basketball team continued its winning ways Hiesday night with a 76-57 whipping of Davidson on the road. The Lady Apps jumped out to a 31-23 halftime lead and never relenquished that lead as they went on for the Southern Conference vic­ tory. The Mountaineers were led by Andreia David Willis ™ Sports Editor Appalachian State Men's Basketball team endured a rough Christmas Break going 3-6 against some of the best competition in the country. December 4, the Mountaineers hosted the 49ers of UNCC, but fell 85-81 in a very tough game. Tige Damer led Appalachian with 23 points and 4 boards and Kareem Livingston had 20 and 7 respectively. Two days later, the Mountaineers trav­ eled to Greensboro to face the UNCG Spar­ tans, but again came up short 80-64. Leading the way for Appalachian was Livingston with 22 points and 4 rebounds. Jeremy Blocker and Darner both pulled down a game high six boards. Returning home on December 9. the Mountaineers got into the win column, crush­ ing Mars Hill 112-77. Junior Braswell had a season high 20 points on 8-10 shooting and 6-6 from the line. Five other Mountaineers scored in double digits, including Livingston and Darner with 19 apiece and Blocker with 18. Josh Grover finished with eight boards, leading ASU. The Mountaineers could not continue however, as they traveled to Winston-Salem on December 18 to face Wake Forest. Ranked in the top 10, the Deacons pounded Appala­ chian 91-50. Clint Crosston led the Moun­ taineers with 13 points and 3 rebounds. AllAmerican Tim Duncan recorded 15 points, 8 boards, and 6 blocks to lead Wake.

Coakley named National Defensive Player of the Ye Special to the Appalachian Sports Information BOONE, N.C. — Appalachian State University junior linebacker Dexter Coakley has been se­ lected as the inaugural recipient of the Buck Buchanan Award, given by The Sports Net­ work, as the "Outstanding Defensive Player in Division 1-AA." The award, named for Junious "Buck" Buchanan, Grambling All-America and Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive lineman, joins the Walter Payton (offensive player) and Eddie Robinson (coach) awards as the preeminent citations for excellence in NCAA 1-AA football. Coakley, a consensus All-America in both his sophomore and junior seasons for the Mountaineers, was named by The Sports Net­ work in a ceremony Jan. 13 at Appalachian State University. On hand to present the Buchanan Award to Coakley were Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski, Director of Athletics Roachel Laney, and Head Football Coach Jerry Moore. Coakley was joined by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Coakley, high school coach Di?fey Dingle and prep school coach John Schuman. A native of Mt. Pleasant, S.C., Coakley has earned Southern Conference Defensive Playerof-the-Year honors in both his sophomore and junior years. He ranks second all-time at the school in career tackles with 479 in his 37 col­ lege appearances (13.0 per game average). He reached both 300 and 400 career tackles faster than any Mountaineer defender. He owns 28 double-figure tackles performances, a school mark, and stands just 26 tackles shy of eclips­ ing the Appalachian career record of 504 held by Cedric Felton. The 1993 Southern Confer­ ence Freshman-of-the-Year, Coakley has started in all 37 games of his career, and has posted seven or more stops in 34 of those 37 con­ tests. He also owns 15 games with nine or more tackles in his three campaigns. In addition, Coakley has compiled at least one double-digit tackle performance against every Southern Conference opponent, and has recorded 10 or more stops in 20 of his 24 outings versus league foes. For his career, Coakley has compiled 274 solo tackles, 205 assists, 39 tackles for loss, nine sacks, 28 quarterback pressures, 15 caused fumbles, four fumble recoveries, three inter­ ceptions, and 16 pass deflections in his 37 games. His 15 career caused fumbles represent the alltime school mark, and his 39 tackles for loss rank him 6th on the all-time list. He stands 16 solo tackles shy of setting a new career record, and is 11 assists away from breaking the career standard. He is second all-time at Appalachian in 20-tackle games with four, trail­ ing Dino Hackettls school-record six. The Buchanan Award, created by nation­ ally-recognized artist Don Dyen of Bucks County, Pa., is an original watercolor montage portrait of Coakley, with an inset of the mon­ tage portrait of Buck Buchanan painted in December by Dyen. Coakley (above left) accepts his award, accompanied by ASU Head Coach Jerry Moore, ASU Athlew Roachel Laney, and Coakley's high school coach Dickey Dingle.

Borkowski and , Board of Trustees approved a recommenjjon written by the Student Government odation concerning 1996-'97 student fee teases for Appalachian State University. SGA supported the proposed $4 in- crease for the Health services fee, the $9 in­ crease for the book rental fee and a $50 in­ crease for the housing fee without question. As part of the recommendation, the $7 increase for the educational and technol­ ogy fee would be accepted if the 1994-'95 and 1995-'96 expenditure reports were made avail­ able and a long-term plan of future increases was developed. The $40 increase of the food services fee would receive approval from SGA if the increase was used for regular operating costs, as well as improvements and a food service consultant. SGA also requires the university to form a transportation task force to develop a transportation plan in exchange for accepting the $5 increase in the transportation fee. Also as part of the recommendation, the university will incorporate the transportation plan into the university's master plan. Another aspect of the recommendation is that the university will support "the Town of Boone's efforts with the North Carolina legislature for the funding of the Boone Alternative Transportation Plan." SGA did not support the $12 increase in the athletic fund and suggested it be reduced to a $9 increase. SGA also specified the money from the increase be used to cover normal operating costs and a long-term plan for fund­ ing be developed. The recommendations were drafted by Darby Weaver, SGA president, who heard student concerns in last Tuesday's SGA meet­ ing. "I was really pleased with what came out of the discussions," said Weaver. "The stu­ dents' opinions were reflected in the recom­ mendation." "I fall on the side of keeping the fees as low as possible," said Borkowski. "I think its (the recommendation) a reasonable request by student government and we will provide the information requested."

The discussion of the ordinance origi­ nated in the council's Nov. 20 meeting, when council member Greg Young asked members if there were any questions concerning the proposed ordinance prohibiting "possession of malt beverages and wine on or during special events held within the town."

Mayor Velma Bumley said there are a number of problems which need to be looked at and called it a "neighborhood protection is­ sue." Burnley cited complaints from area businesses who were unhappy with the noise level during events. According to Burnley, there were over 200 citations issued for underage drinking at the last event held at the Horn in the West. "This reflects poorly on the university and on the community," said Burnley. Rob Callahan, outgoing president of Sigma Phi Epsilon, said no one in either fra­ ternity had been notified of this proposed or­ dinance, and there have never been any prob­ lems with underage drinking or misconduct at Thaw-Out. "We obtain two permits for ThawOut," said Callahan, "one from the ALE (Alco­ hol Law Enforcement agency) and one from Boone police. The head guy from the ALE comes up from Raleigh and has been very im­ pressed every year." Callahan said the fraternities have strict rules about the 12-pack limit on cans of beer, and checking ID's to ensure no underage drinking occurs. Jay Offerdahl, an organizer from Sigma Phi Epsilon, said he did not think ThawOut was responsible for the problems, because Sigma Phi Epsilon and Kappa Sigma had al­ ways handled the event very responsibly. "I think we would have the support of the ALE and Boone Police on the matter," said Offerdahl, "because they've always said we've handled Thaw-Out very well. We've not had the problems some other functions have had." Offerdahl said much of the money raised from Thaw-Out is donated to OASIS (Opposing Abuse with Service, Information and Shelter) and the Boone Police Department. Mayor Velma Bumley voiced concern over the town's liability in the event of a "mis­ hap that occurs...during a fall out." Council member and attorney David Paletta said although the town is responsible to some degree, they are not liable for all inju­ ries which may occur on their property. The main concern is "to maintain the public prop­ erty and avoid sort of hidden dangers where people could get hurt." Town Council member Hunter Schofield was concerned that taking action without giving the community time to hear of the proposed ordinance would "cause a gr rift between the Council and students v might feel a little bit blind-sided by this lej lation." "I'm trying to find a middle groun said Schofield, "because I don't want a wh new set of problems to arise from this one Schofield suggested the council eiti table the motion until the Dec. 14 meeting provide the community more time to hi about the proposed ordinance, or provide exemption and permitting process, such as i one in effect for the Jones House Commur Center.

Staff Writer The Interfraternity Cq^ndl's recommendation on acceptance of Theta Chi and rejection of Pi Lambda Phi has been accepted by Dino J. DiBernardi, director of the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership. IFC voted on Nov. 8 to accept Theta Chi for recognition as a univer­ sity fraternity, while rejecting Pi Lambda Phi for membership in the While the constitution gives IFC the right to choose fraternities for expansion, DiBernardi has the final decision in the process of Greek ex­ pansion. "I saw nothing that would cause me to take away that right," said DiBernardi. In his decision, Dibernardi said he looked to see that IFC followed the correct processes and that no one fraternity was given special treatment by the council. He also made sure that the university could handle another fraternity. "We are going to do our own thing," he said. Heaslet congratulates Theta Chi but said the decision not to accept Pi Lambda Phi was biased and not fairly grounded. "IFC is just a forfnality," said Heaslet. "We are going to do the same things we always have." He said not being recognized will make recruiting harder and longer. The next step for Pi Lambda Phi is to try to find some recognition on cam­ pus. "We do exist," Heaslet said.

Dibernardi said Pi Lambda Phi can re-petition the IFC at any time or ask the IFC to reconsider their de­ cision. Sean-Peter H.

Accuracy and Public Service since 1936 Our opinion... •Safety wasn't an issue when it was created and still j s I SGA senators need to work for constituents One of the pieces of legislation coming out of the Student Government Association this semester states the concern of the student body for the can­ cellation of the Sustainable Development program. Greg McClure, an off-campus senator, wrote the leg­ islation which stated support for the program and SGA voted to pass the legislation. While we at The Appalachian do not question the need to keep that particular program we do ques­ tion why it was the only one singled out for the leg­ islative process. This is the process of voicing student concerns in the purest form. The students go to their senators and voice their concerns. The senator writes a piece of legislation addressing the concern and student government votes to pass or deny support for that piece of legislation. Did students actually voice their concerns for this program, or is this a case of Student Government trying to work on their own personal agenda, regard­ less of whether the majority of students wish to make it a cause? According to the Office for Academic Affairs, nine masters programs, three intermediate programs and one bachelor program have been recommended by the North Carolina Legislature for termination. Where are our senators when all of this is going on? Darby Weaver, president of SGA, said "nobody has taken an initiative in supporting the other fields." Although Weaver said that she and the vice presi­ dent, Robyn Martin, have encouraged the senators to write more legislation, there just hasn't been much coming from our senators in the way of concrete leg­ islation. Weaver also said that there were three senators who are on the academic policies and procedures committee, a university committee that is looking into the cutting of the recommended programs. None of those senators have written any legislation support­ ing or opposing the tut o|^y praams.,, What'is.the point of bdirig elected tfe a,senatorial position if you are not going to work for your con­ stituents? Perhaps the senators should concentrate on being a bit more in tune with the students of this university rather than what they personally feel is the most pressing issue. This does not, however, remove students who are not in the senate from their responsibility. Each student had the chance to take an active role in elect­ ing their dorms senator or off-campus representa­ tive, therefore, they should make their voices heard to their senator. If a program you are in is being considered for cuts, your senator is the route through which you can make your approval or disapproval of those cuts apparent to the administration. We urge the Student Government Association to speak to students about the recommended program cuts, and perhaps hold a special informational meet­ ing to let students know or their options and what is going on around them. It is time to require senators to become more involved in their own recommend­ ing body, that being the Student Government Asso­ ciation.

I Jay Marlowe Columnist Last Tuesday, President Clinton signed legislation that gives the states $6.5 billion for highway improvements while ending the national speed limit and dropping re­ quirements for motorcycle helmet laws. He had no choice. Both houses of Congress had approved the bill by wide margins, and could have easily overriden a veto. Even most big-government supporters now agree that this country's system of radar-gun-toting highway patrol­ men is less like a safety campaign and more like highway robbery; an obese government continually in search of more revenue. "It's about time (the national speed limit was dropped)," said Jim Baxter, president of the National Mo­ torists Association. "Several million people a year have been receiving speeding tickets for traveling what were indeed safe speeds." Until Congress set a federal speed limit of 55 mph in 1974, states set their own limits. Montana and Nevada had no speed limits, 10 states had 75 mph speed limits, and most other states had 70 mph limits. The national speed limit was established in order to conserve energy during the Mideast oil embargo, but its purpose became distorted as federal officials and consumer activists began telling us to unve 55 in the name of safety, once the old fuel mileage argument was rendered obsolete. In fact, Ralph Nader, self-proclaimed president of the safety geeks, now predicts that "thousands of people... will soon lose their lives or be permanently disabled" due to the raising of speed limits. So, according to Nader, we will soon become a nation of reckless speed freaks, simply because states will be al­ lowed to once again set their own limits. The evidence, however, seems to suggest otherwise. Numerous studies by states that went from 55 to 65 mph on rural interstates, John Lane Managing Editor Allison Pennell Asst News Editor Clay Barbour Features Editor Richard Smith Asst Features Editor Rhett Butler Photography Editor would help most in reducing accidents Speeding is only a factor in two to six accidents that occur yearly, but somehow th \7f»rv different, and thprp arp many reasons ^ PdfiJvery Hiffprpnt anH there are Obviously, government would hate to ii " t merce to flow unimpeded by its presence ^ And the media further promotes the nation it "4* tendencies that people already have by s* M and distorting information.

How ridiculous does this sound to you? Most people are intelligent enough to know that in the time it takes to read a few lines of print, a driver's eyes have been off the road long enough for them to cross head-on into incoming traffic. However, there are still those who continue to do stupid things like that. Well, I just want to be the first person to say: Go right ahead. You can't be that productive to society if you're dumb enough to do something like that. I believe that all those government warnings that end up on electrical de­ vices, chemicals, and the outside of wild animal cages should be eliminated. Are you dumb enough to blow dry your hair while taking a bath? Great! Does concentrating and inhaling the fumes of spray-paint give you the kicks? Enjoy! Do you want to feed the bears so bad you can't stand it? Go for it! When you end up electrocuted, brain dead, or mamed and bleeding to death, the smart people of the world will be better off. It's called natural selection. These warnings are just another one of the government's attempts at slowing the natural processes of nature. Let's face it, there are a lot of really dumb people out there. Does anyone think these people are productive? Is the human race evolving because of them? No. Let them die - it's their own fault. I've been told of instances of people doing some pretty stupid things. Here are just a few: In one case a family was spending their vacation at Yosemite National Park. The husband decided it would be cute to get a picture of a bear with his family. He shoved the bear in his car and closed the door. Before he could take the memorable family photo, the bear mauled his family. Don't feel bad though, the family couldn't have been much smarter than the husband. And the children probably would have grown up and possibly hurt someone else with their stupidity. I'm sure many of you read about the man who had so much trouble controlling his sexual urges while swimming that he decided to have sex with the pool. He managed to get his penis stuck in the intake valve. This man survived, but hopefully he can't have children. The progression of stupidity only gets worse with every generation. In another situation, a man decided he wanted to push start a car with another carALONE. When he got the car in front of him going fast enough, he jumped out of his car ran up to the other and began to drive off. It was not until the car he was originally in drove past him (driverless) that he realized he forgot to stop it. So what I'm saying is if you want to throw water on an electric heiter in a* attempt (I'm guessing) to increase the steam, or if you want to pull tie toast o toaster with a knife while it's plugged in, good riddance. The collectiveintelli? world will have just increased. No, I am not advocating the killing of people who have demonstrate!thei'l I just want it to be easier for them to get rid of themselves. So get rid if thos£| labels, it will save the intelligent people time and effort. slot.

I swear this campus has saying that we sj J Deanna Hall Business Manager Tiffany Lohman News Editor once allowed to do so, show that the average speeds of vehicles on these roads did not increase. Rather, it was mostly a symbolic gesture, legalizing speeds motorists were already traveling. About 70 percent of people who were previously out of compliance with the law were brought back into compliance, without clanging their driving hab­ its at all. The 55 mph speed linit has often been called the most widely broken national lav since Prohibition, and with good reason. Even cops hate driving the spted limit, and usually don't, whether they are on duty or net. A recent survey by the Institute of Police Technology andManagement found that over half of the highway patrd officers surveyed thought fines for speeding were geneially too high, and two-thirds said even the highest fines were not really a deterrent to speeding. Many officers said they felt more like a tax collector than a highway safet; person. When cops are not on duty, they depend on "professional cour­ tesy" to sidestep the law, and this, in and cf itself, says as much about our system of speed limits as anything. Since 1974, fuel prices have fallen, while the fuel effi­ ciency of new autos and trucks has increased greatly. To­ day, automobiles are structurally safer, highways are bet­ ter engineered, tires are less prone to blowouts, and ve­ hicle restraint systems are much improved. We can safely travel even faster than the 75 mph limits that used to exist in the 1950s and 60s, but we don't. Why is thi^? "Where are the benefits of progress?," asks Peter Egan/jn a Road and Track magazine column. "How did we allow otf thickest-witted and most timid citizens to make all oar speed laws for us? Why are Americans, of all people in the world, s?< the most childish in their approach to speed laws?' Does speeding need a deterrent? No. The "speed kills" propaganda we keep hearing from the insurance industry is just that - propaganda. Truth is, speeding is usually about fifth or sixth down on the lists of accident causes. Over 50 percent of all accidents occur while the drivers invoWed are commiting no infractions whatsoever, and another 40 percent of accidents are attributable to "careless driving," i.e. not paying attention, failure to yield, etc. Seems that better driver education and training, not lower speeds, It's the '90s: Flyers will fly no mofl Angela Brady Editor-in-Chief ;1 ; No national speed limit. . .Finalf Ken Larking Editorials Editor Jason Wilkinson Asst Editorials Editor David Willis Sports Editor Mike Daniels Asst Sports Editor David Wainer Chief Copy Editor Editorial Department 262-6233 or 262-3104 Advertising Department 262-2157 Production Department 262-6256 Daniel Bothun Columnist It seems to me that I can't walk through campus with­ out getting flyers shoved in my face.

Having been jtudent representative to the Traffic Management and ^ty Committee, ,„;iy Committee I feel that I may have some insight that _ column be of some help to you I feel that I must let you know that the appeals com- jitee does NOT control the appeals process. The appeals 0BS are brought to the meetings by the University Police < , then they are worked on at the end of the meetings, a decision to be made, it requires two separate groups ugree on the decision. For instance, if a faculty member aes to deny an appeal and a staff member votes to apwe an appeal, a student must break the deadlock. I personally didn't see any cases where there seemed be any "class" discrimination i.e. faculty denying stuKit appeals, etc. I would add that the majority of the jpeals forms show up with no evidence to back up their jitns. Simply stating that there wasn't a sign stating "no irking" doesn't help the committee members in trying to rcide the case. Take a picture. Draw a diagram. Believe or not, we don't know where every single "no parking" jn on campus is posted. . Dr. Strickland of the political ience/criminal justice department took several pictures when she got what she thought was an unfair ticket and her appeal was approved because she provided documen­ tation that supported her appeal. As far as oral appeals are concerned, the entire pro­ cess except for the appearance before a "sub-committee" is handled by the University Police. The committee is in­ formed when the next oral appeals will take place and volunteers are asked for. The oral appeals sub-committee has to be made up of one student, one faculty member, and one staff member. Oral appeals are usually heard (at least they used to be) at the University Police Office. They usually involve a statement by the appellant with a ques­ tion and answer session if needed. The decision to deny or approve is the same as the written appeals. Showing up at the oral appeal session with some form of documenta­ tion supporting your appeal is very helpful. In my opinion, the appeals process does work, how­ ever, one can't just sit back and complain that they never got called about an oral appeal. Make inquines, ask ques­ tions, demand an opportunity to be given your oral ap­ peal. And most of all, if you do get an opportunity to make an oral appeal, show up!

Because every student is a member of SGA upon enrollment, we feel that it is our job to reflect the opinions, concerns and voice of the entire student body. We have continued to strive for this equal representation throughout the past semester. With the hard work of the Executive and Legislative cabinet, as well as the dedication of the 79 Senators, which represent on and off-campus students, we have had a very productive semester. SGA would like to congratulate the following for being selected: "Senator of the Week" Brian Holbrook, Clifton Williams, Jewel Irish, Ehren Meister, Brian Johnson, Brett Walters, Greg McClure, Matt Borjes, Margaret Olejarska. "Senator of the Month" October - Jewel Irish November - Mike Shanus "Senator of the Semester" Brett Walters Senate seats are available for next semester. Contact the SGA office at 262-2245. A Note From the President.... As we are closing in on the end of the Fall Semester, I wanted to inform you of the progress and accomplishments that Student Government Association has made so far. I hope this newsletter gives you an idea of what we have been working on. I could not be more pleased with the group's accomplishments over the past months. These achievements can be attributed to two group's efforts: The Executive and Legislative Cabinet and the Student Senate. Since this summer, the Cabinet has worked tremendously hard in running committees, advising Senators on legislation, attending state-wide meetings, and keeping the SGA office running day to day. I owe this group my gratitude for their dedication to the organization and their strong leadership for the students. The other vital part of our success is the Student Senate, who has worked diligently throughout the semester in voicing their constituents' concerns, writing legislation, and at­ tending committee meetings. Their leadership has been excep­ tional and I cannot thank them enough for devoting their time and energy into SGA's many projects and issues this semester. One of the most encouraging things that I have seen as Student Body President this year has been the effort of student leaders and organizations to work together. There could not have been a betterexample of this coalition building than the ACT/SGA Hunger and Homelessness Week, which also brought together four community agencies. Traditionally, service projects have not been a part of SGA, yet I believe the entire Student Government Association has benefitted from these projects, as well as the entire campus and community. One of the other key issues that SGA worked on this semester was student fee increases. I could not have been more impressed with the level of discussion that was brought to the Senate Floor both in questions to the University Administration and in voicing their constituents' concerns to me at the following meeting. I am pleased with the outcome of the discussion with our University Administration and feel confident that the outcome was in the Students' best interest. During this discussion, it became apparent to the Administration and myself that students weren't given enough time to grasp all the issues involved in student fee increases. Therefore, we have decided that next year we will pull a group of students together with administratorsearly in September. This will allow students to be involved in the discussion of student fees and not only in the Final decision making. Overall, I am most proud of the proactive role that Student Government has taken this year. I believe we have proven that a diverse group of dedicated leaders can accomplish any goal. Vice-President Robyn Martin and I have seen progress in each of the areas that we set out in our platform: the library, transportation/ parking, diversity, recycling, and our student planning conference, Appalachian 2000. Next semester we will be continuing our work on the platform goals, as well as the many goals of our Senators which were suggested by you, the student body. I feel confident that the organization will continue working in your best interest. If you have any concerns or comments that you would like to voice, please contact me at 2626254. I cannot stress to you enough how important it is that you make us aware of your concerns. I have enjoyed my work as your Student Body President this semester. I thank you for this oppor­ tunity to serve you and please let me know if I can be of assistance. Sincerely. Darby E. Weaver Student Body President Student Government Association Accomplishments During the 1995 campaign for Student Body President and Vice President, the Weaver/Martin ticket outlined a comprehensive list of goals. Many will take months to accomplish, while others have already been completed. In addition, the Student Senate has also compiled a list of personal goals. Here are some ideas and goals of theStudent Government Association which have already been acomplished: * A more diverse variety of food within Food Services This is one of the many projects of Felicia Fluid, Director of Student Affairs. Felicia has been successful in seeing that Garden Burgers are served in the Food Court daily as well as additional breakfast items are available in Cascades Cafe. She has been the driving force to bringing food service consultants to Senate. These consultants have been to campus gathering ideas f rom students to make food services a more enjoyable, affordable way for students to eat concientiously. * A safer environment for Appalachian State University. SGA sponsored Safety Awarness Week was held the first week in September. The week included information booths on Sanford Mall, The Clothesline Project, self-defense workshops, a bicycle helmet raffle, a safety forum, a safety walk, and the annual Jenny Gray Walk for Awareness. This year's Walk for Awareness was especially impressive. Over 400 supporters came out to walk in remembcrance of Jenny Gray as well as to raise awareness of safety. Legislation was passed to encourage ASU Security to post the locations of the emergency blue lights on campus. Each blue light location has a phone which directly connects the user with ASU Security. A map of campus blue light locations has already been sent to each student post office box. We encourage students to become familiar with the locations. * Greek Housing An important issue for the Weaver/Martin administration is to support Greek funded, Greek housing. This idea has been embraced by the university and recently, architects from Lee Nichols Hepler Architectural Firm have come to campus seeking suggestions from students as part of a feasibility study. The architects will return to Senate next semester to report on their findings. If you have any suggestions, concerns or questions please contact Felicia Fluid in the SGA office (262-6253). * Notebook Recycling •> This year we are sponsoring a notebook recycling drive which involves students recycling their used binders and spiral notebooks that are still in fairly good condition. Collection boxes will be placed in the student union, the bookstore, and in each residence hall lobby. The boxes will be placed out on Wednesday, December 6 and will be out until January 10. Weencourage all students to recycle their notebooks this year instead of throwing them away! * Mountaineer Escort extended hours Mountaineer Escort is an evening escort service for on- and off-campus students offered Sunday through Thursday. The director of Mountaineer Escort, Jason Basinger, has successfully extended the hours of operation from 6 pm to 12:30 am. This program is run by SGA in conjunction with the University Police dispatcher. It is staffed entirely by student volunteers. The number is 262-6438. * Homecoming This year. Homecoming at Appalachian was unique as well as historical. For the first time, both male and female students had the opportunity to participate as part of the Homecoming Court. Thanks to Misty Rumbley, Director of Public Affairs. for doing such a great job organizing Homecoming 1995. * Make a Difference Day SGA and Appalachian and the Community Together (ACT) joined together in alliance with Make a Difference Day. a nationally observed, collective effort to serve our communities. Appalachian's involvement with Make a Difference Day invloved the first annual blanket and canned food drive supporting the Watauga County HungerCoalition. Almost 100 blankets and several canned goods were collected. * Hunger and Homelessness Week Student Government and ACT worked in conjunction to make this week an outstanding success. The week focused on offering activities that would provide education, service project opportunties, fundraising, reflection, and celebration. Students and faculty participated in an open mic reading, the Hunger Banquet and a pot luck dinner/benefit concert. They also collected pledge money to fast and sleep out on Sanford Mall. The sleep out was especially successful. Over 40 students slept out under the stars and in the snow to raise money for the homeless and hungry. In all, the campaign raised more than 2000 dollars and 510 canned goods to be distributed equally between the Watauga County Hunger Coalition, Oasis, the Hospitality House, and Habitat for Humanity. * Alternative Transportation On Monday, November 20th, Dan Norris, External Affairs Chair, led cyclists on a Critical Mass Bike Rally to the Boone Town Council me. (inr """be dedication of the cyclists encouraged the Town Council to pass legislation on a new Alternative Transportation project. Cyclists also hiked in the Homecoming Parade to show their support of ATP. In addition, in response to the involvement of SGA Senati s. i e Appaicart will be expanding its routes to reach additional areas. * Elections By-Law review A committee has been formed to examine the existing election by-laws'and recommend changes il deemed necessary. * Transportation Task Force This task force has been introduced with the mission of researching and developing a comprehensive transportation plan for the university and making recommendations to the university on the implementation of this plan. Although this list of accomplishments is far from being completed, it gives you an idea of what a small group of committed individuals can do to make a difference. �Appalachian 5 December 1995 Featu Page 7 What's black and gold, has 460 feet, ,eSn't like hot dogs, and can play "Carmina Jurana" better than the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra? | No, it is not a new species of vegetarian Lsical arthropods discovered in Boone; it is JJe Mountaineer Marching Band. If you have attended an Appalachian foot­ ball game, there is a good chance that you have aard and seen a halftime performance given ~ (as Joliet Jake Blues called it) "The Band." ' The band has approximately 230 memars and is led by fourth year director, Jay C. lackson, an Appalachian graduate. Practice is the key for musicians. Band aembers prove that by arriving a week early before classes start in August and putting in jve days of grueling 14-hour practice sessions. Once classes start, the pace slows. Memars practice twice a week for two hours at a joe, plus an hour with their respective secjon, and then an additional two hours before ach home game. The color guard practices 5ve nights a week. "Our practice time is less than average for [he normal mid-size collegiate band," says lackson. Meeting during the week is not a prob­ lem for most students. "It takes up less time than a three-hour academic class," says senior drum major Lydia A. Kiefer from Hendersonville. Junior piccolo player Becky D. Park, of Mooresville, says despite the intensity of prac­ tice and the concentration involved, everything pays off. "Practicing does take time, but when Saturday rolls around it's worth it. It's awe­ some." Members receive satisfaction from crowd response. Freshman William E. Light of Burlington says, "It's one of the best feelings. It's a definite adrenaline rush." While Kiefer says, "Sometimes silence is better. You know the crowd is paying attention to you." Besides the satisfaction musicians receive from performing, there are other benefits to I be gained from being members of such a large, [close-knit group. "Being in the band is a learning experi­ ence forme, "says Kiefer. "I want to be a b^nd lirector in the future and being On the stulent staff you learn the nitty-gritty of te'achng a band program and how to put up with certain situations." All music education majors must spend two years in the band, but it's not necessary to * a music major to participate. "It's about a 50/50 split between music and non-music majors," says Kiefer. The Appalachian Mountaineer Marching Band prepares for a big playoff performance (left and above), and delivers (below) during halftime in the game last Saturday against Stephen F. Austin, (left and top photo by Ryan Price, bottom photo by Robert Parriott) Light, a music education major, says one if the reasons he came to Appalachian was wause of the marching band. Being a freshman, participating in the and also made the transition to college life tasier for him. "It's a really great experience, fte days we meet are some of the most fun ve had since I've been up here. Camaraderie s a big part of why our band is so successful." "By being in the band we always tell freshDen coming in that there are 200 faces that °u can say 'hi' to your first year when you're earning your way around," says Kiefer. "It's he biggest orientation you'll ever get at this mfversity." The band plays a wide variety of music anging from Western to Broadway.

Most of the album reeks of the Rush-esque sound they do best, with the influence sounding fresh, but never stolen. Hidden Progres­ sion tends to be more hard-edged and less into lush grandeur. Witness "Blame the Foolish Mentality," "Bring it Down" and "32nd Parallel." These songs attest to the heavy side of Hid­ den Progression. You can almost picture Alex Lifeson jamming along. This is a valiant and successful effort for a debut album, but there are some rough edges in need of smoothing. Some of the lyrics leave little to be desired. There are places where Wicker's drumming is over­ played and different for the sake of being different. The studio failed to completely capture Hidden Progression's true sound, particularly Keller's soulful voice. On the whole, the album does only a moderate de­ gree of justice to a truly talented band. To judge for yourself, the album is avail­ able at Fat Cat's Music, Grapevine Music and Hully Gully Music. Hidden Progression will be performing at Heart's Rock Cafe on Friday Dec. 8. If you're looking for a break from the humdrum, power chord obsessed alterna-rock sound, check out Hidden Progression.

Have you ever been curious about how to play the stock market, yet weren't sure how to go about it? You can learn all this and more right here on campus in the Mountaineer Investment Club. Meeting every Tbesday at 6 p. m. in 3018 Raley, the club studies, dis­ cusses, buys and sells actual stocks with actual money. The club is stu­ dent-run with an advisor, Dr. Delbert C. Goff, an assistant professor of Fi­ nance. "This is a great opportunity for students to become a part of the market," says Goff, who started work on the club in the fall of 1994. What makes the club so unique is the way it creates an opportunity for students, who typically don't have lots of extra cash to invest, to learn about the stock market and see real profit without having to gather up thousands of dollars. Because each member of the club contributes to the overall fund, the club has more buy­ ing power than any individual mem­ ber could afford. This communal sys­ tem is like a mutual fund, except that everyone involved gets a vote. Se­ nior D. Brian laylur, club president, .ays this is great because, "Whereas in class you just see a number on the board, here it actually means some­ thing." This is especially meaningful for non-business majors who are mem­ bers of the club, such as vice presi­ dent, Jennifer L. Adles, who is study­ ing home economics. This also means that you dofl't have to speak broker-ese to get involved; it just takes a little effort. The members of the club will independently research attractive stocks through sources such as the library, the Wall Street Journal, Valueline or the Internet and then present their findings to the rest of the group. The group then stud­ ies the information and considers the stock for purchase. A purchase was recently made of Oxford Industries, a major clothing manufacturer (Tommy Hilfiger, JCPenney and WalMart apparel). Oxford was one of several stocks presented over the se­ mester, and was chosen from others such as PepsiCo, Motorola, and Ladd Furniture. Members can contribute as little as $50 or as much as $500 to the overall fund. Those contributing more money have more voting power - one vote for each $50. The money is sent to a local broker, who buys or sells based on the orders of the group. The broker's commission on the fund's profits is lower than what it would be for other investors, since this is a campus organization. "We're able (in this way) to take advantage of our status as students," says Goff. So far this system has worked well, bringing the club a compound annu­ alized return of 23.8 percent. Your savings account at the bank has a re­ turn of only around 2 percent. The club is open to anyone at Appalachian, including all students, faculty, staff and alumni. Members of lite club who have graduated are still involved with the decision-mak­ ing process, and the club is looking for more new, younger members to continue on in the future. "That's what is going to help perpetuate this club," says Goff. Anyone interested is encouraged to come by a meeting, and club announcements are also posted on the Mountaineer Invest­ ment Club bulletin board in the stair­ well of Raley hall. Sara LeWinter Reporter If you pick up a Rugburns album, don't mistake these guys for a bunch of ridiculous fools. The band's crazy and humorous wordplay is just one of the many distinguishing characteris­ tics that enables listeners to allow this raw sound to burn inside their ears. The songs of The Rugburns consist of detailed scenarios created by melodic acoustic guitars and pounding drums. Although the band started their musi­ cal career as an acoustic duo playing coffee houses, lead singer Steve Poltz now describes the band's music as "really slow speed metal." By word of mouth, the band gained popular­ ity on the college campuses. The album 'Taking The World By Donkey" is clearly a mixture of blended sounds connected by solid and rough lyrics. For example, the song, "Now's Not The Right Time For Love," creates a mental image of a guy talking about trying to change the world, but having no time to look for love. The band's sarcastic outlook on life can be expressed through one particular lyric that states "I was go­ ing to join an ad hoc committee, but SALOAl£}/y^ ow muck COMPLETE PACKAGES FOR ONLY continued from page 7 Park, an elementary education major, sums it up best: "I like the friend­ ship, the support, and being able to get together with a group of people and play excellent music." sure "we have the right people in the right positions," says Jackson. Auditions for drum major are more competitive. Usually 15 to 20 students vie for the honor in what Jackson calls "a healthy competition."

Austin, 27-17 David Willis Sports Editor Appalachian State finished its finest sea­ son of football ever on Saturday with all-out performance against Stephen F. Austin. "We knew we had a tremendous chal­ lenge," said SFA Head Coach John Pearce fol­ lowing Saturday's game. "They (Appalachian) are a class act and this is how college football should be." The Mountaineers had a great season and in many opinions this was the best ASU team ever. The Mountaineers ended with a 12-1 record, the best ever at ASU. The gridiron squad also broke several all-time Appalachian records and too many personal bests to men­ tion. The team set a new record for rushing touchdowns in a year with 35, surpassing the old mark of 34 set back in 1968. The offense also set new marks with 4,853 yards of total offense on 928 attempts, gaining 249 first downs. There were also many personal bests bro­ ken this season. Offensively, Scott Satterfield of Hillsborough, became the third all-time Mountaineer in total offense with 5,534 yards. Satterfield threw for 1,461 yards this season and rushed for another 649, making him the all-time leading rusher as a quarterback. Other bests included Damon Scott of Ce­ dar Grove, who rushed for 1,468 yards and 16 TDs, Aldwin Lance of Shallotte caught 37 passes for 366 yards and rushed for another 583. Scott Kadlub of Palm Harbor, Fla. tied a school record by not allowing a single quar­ terback pressure all year. Jay Sutton of Wingate, set a new record for points by a "They (Appalachian} are ! kicker and second alltime with 98 points in a a class act and this is season. Defensively for the how college football Mountaineers, Dexter Coakley of Mt. Pleasant, should be." S.C. became the first — John Pearce, ASU player to ever be named Southern Con­ Stephen F. Austin ference Player-of-theYear twice. Coakley head coach also topped his personal best with 162 stops in a season, placing him second on the all-time list for career tackles with 476. Tony Perry of Winston-Salem, had 87 stops on the year, Marvin Hodge of Raleigh had 91 stops on the year, Clarence Sutton of Chicago had 75 tackles, and Chip Miller of Pi­ geon Forge, Tenn. had 71 stops. Over the past few weeks, the publicity ana expectations began to mount. The faculty stu­ dent, and alumni support became more and more prevalent and widespread. All the sup­ port and backing of this football team could not have been more evident than in the final seconds of Saturday's game when the fans be­ gan to yell, "ASU, ASU." The football team, its coaches, players, and staff should feel no remorse over this sea­ Frank Leatherwood (39) leaves an Austin defender down on his touchdown reception which gave the Mountain son and should be very proud of their accom­ an early lead. Austin would come back to win the game 27-17. The loss ended the 12 game win streak of the plishments. After all, they did have the best Mountaineers and took them out of contention for a National Championship, (photo by Robert Parriott) season ever at Appalachian. Yellow Jackets invade Varsity Gym day were not there expecting an Appalachian victory, but a big time college basketball show put on right here in Boone courtesy of nation­ Assistant Sports Editor ally ranked Georgia Tech. If you were there, or happened to catch Besides Coach Tom Apke and the rest of gajpe pfttehjyision^vou know that's the team, most of the 7,831screaming Moun­ , exactly what the Yelfcwjackftjs did - put on a taineer fans in Varsity Gymnasium on Satur­ show. The number 16 team in the country dominated the undersized and overmatched Mountaineers 89-65. Things looked dim for the Mountaineers right from the start when Junior Braswell had the ball stolen by. freshman phenom Stephon Marbuiy who pushed the ball down-court, then pulled up and sank a 10-foot jumper with all the ease of Michael Jordan try­ ing to slam over Muggsy Bogues. Marbury scored four more before the Mountaineers finally got on the board on an inside shot by Clint Crosston that sent the home crowd into a frenzy. It was possibly the first time in the history of college basket­ ball that a crowd had ever been so excited about losing 18-2. The place got even more pumped when the Yellowjackets lost possesion of the ball in their end of the court and Braswell took the ball down and hit a 17-footer to bring the Mountaineers within 14. Unfourtunately, 14 was as close as the Mountaineers would get for the rest of the day. ASU went into the locker room at halftime down 44-17 and in desperate need of a center the size of Shaquille O'Neil to help stop foward Matt Harpring who grabbed 12 re­ Junior Braswell (24) drives between two defenders in the losing effort against Georgia Tech last bounds and scored 17 points in the half. Saturday. Braswell had 17 points as the leading scorer for ASU. (photo by Rhett Butler) Instead, the* Mike Daniels HPflmll \j i Mountaineers came out in the second half and continued to get beat on the boards. Harpring racked up four more in the second half, to fin­ ish the game with 16, while bringing his point total for the game to 21 by sinking threes and stuffing home slams. Meanwhile, the leading rebounder for Appalachian, Blair Adderly, pulled down a meager seven. It would be scary to think how many rebounds the Yellowjackets would have had if they had somebody playing center. Ac­ cording to ex-Appalachian head coach, and present Georgia Tech Head Coach Bobby Cremmins, who was honored with the ASU Alumni Award before the game, the Yellowjackets have no real center. Yet the Mountaineers did seem to pick up their game somewhat in second half. Cremmins said, "They got loose in the second half and played with us." The fact that the Mountaineers managed to score a respectable 48 points in the half is evidence of that. With less than she minutes left in the game the Mountaineers had pulled back within 20 of the Yellowjackets. But Appalachian could not get any closer than that, and when the fi­ nal buzzer sounded, the home team had lost 89-65. The leading scorer for the Mountaineers was Braswell who scored 11 in the second half to finish with 17. Other Mountaineers in double figures in points were Adderley and Kareem Livingston, who each scored 11 points in the game. Georgia Tech had five players in double digits. The leader of course was Harpring who was followed by Marbury and Drew Barry, who each had 15. Juan Gaston scored 12 off the bench for the jackets and 6-8 foward Michael Maddox contributed 10 points. Appalachian Head Coach Tom Apke said the Mountaineers might have been a little ner­ vous since this was the first time "...they have been in a top game on TV with a ranked team." Apke said that the team was too intense in the begining of the game and that "Once we got down, we had people trying to over compete." Which is probably to be expected. This game marked the first time an ACC team had ever played in Varsity Gymnasium, so its not often that the Mountaineers get to play a school like Georgia Tech in front of their own fans. Hopefully the team will use this as a learn­ ing experience. After all, the team's next ACC opponent,Wake Forest, may be an even tougher challenge than the Yellowjackets were. Lady Apps travel west for tourney Darryl Stevens Staff Writer As most of us were still digesting the re­ mains of our gluttony and enjoying a deserved vacation, the Appalachian State women's bas­ ketball team was out west, tipping off in the State Farm Classic. Host Montana State University, nation­ ally ranked Florida, and Wyoming joined ASU for the holiday hoops. On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, the Lady Mountaineers (1-1) bounced back from an opening-round loss to No. 24 Florida, beat­ ing Wyoming 75-60. All-Tournament selection Shannon Spen­ cer averaged 17 points and six assists for Appalachian's two games. After five turnovers Friday in ASU's 73-71 loss, Spencer played the point flawlessly against Wyoming, with three steals and no giveaways. Melissa Davis' three-pointer with 15 sec­ onds left in the Florida game raised Appala­ chian State to a 71-70 advantage. But Jackie Wright answered for the Gators with one tick remaining, banking in a trey of her own. Appalachian climbed back from an 11point deficit early in the second half. Capped by a Spencer three-point shot at the sevenminute mark, ASU engineered a 12-4 run to go ahead by two. Tournament MVP Mahogany Hudson scored nine of her 22 from that point for Florida, who went on to beat Montana State in the final. The Lady Moutaineers returned to Worthington Arena Saturday for the conso­ lation game versus Wyoming, again falling behind early in the game. Spencer's five points and five rebounds in the first half brought ASU back to claim a 31-30 lead at recess. Despite 16 second half points from Wyoming's Jesseca Cross, Appalachian stretched to a 59-42 cushion that the Lady Cowboys couldn't puncture.

The Mountaineers shot well in the first half, hitting 18-36 from the floor and 5-9 from the charity stripe. Darner and Livingston led the way for ASU with 11 and 9 points, respectively. Jer­ emy Blocker, of West Memphis, Ark., grabbed eight boards in the half.

The timeout worked as Hege nailed a three pointer with just 0:11 left to give ASU the final margin. Braswell, Livingston, and Damer all finished with 18 points. Braswell also finished with four rebounds, eight assists, and no turnovers. Blocker fin­ ished the game with nine boards.

Short of physical violence, which is becoming more frequent, the use of language, either oral or in writing, to threaten violence against people on the basis of their status or lifestyle, is antithetical to the basic core of each person. Antithetical to their humanness. It denigrates the human spirit and reflects the intent of the perpetrators to balkanize and isolate people of difference.

Pope John Paul stated at the United Nations this fall, "Freedom is not simply the absence of oppression. Nor is freedom a license to do whatever we like. Freedom has an inner "logic" which distinguishes it and ennobles it. Freedom provides the opportunities to respect the culture of others and is therefore rooted in our respect for each community's attempt to answer the question of human life. Detached from an understanding, appreciation, and reverence for each human person, freedom deteriorates into license in the lives of individuals; it becomes the caprice of those wishing to exercise power and demonstrate the arrogance of that power," that the deadline for payment of tuition a n d p Spring Semester, 1996, is December 13.

Helm, ASU's chief financial officer, H Capt. Larry C. Foster of University Police •ategorically denies" all allegations that he inmidated freshman Paula L. Crosby, 18, of [eensboro, into keeping silent about the in­ dent- Crosby, a resident of White Residence had an arrest warrant issued Nov. 15 !St senior Aldwin Lance, 21, of Shallotte, ing a misdemeanor assault. Lance, a 21-year-old 5 foot 7 inch Lfting fullback for the ASU Mountaineers, hs arrested after turning himself in to the campus police on Nov. 16. After appearing before the magistrate, he was released on $500 unsecured bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 5, when, according to district attorney James T. Rusher, the case will go to trial if the lawyers are ready. The warrant stems from a report made to University Police by Crosby on Sept. 18. Crosby said in an interview Hiesday with The Appalachian that after having dinner in Trivette Hall with a friend, she was walking back to her residence hall alone and had got­ ten as far as the wall in front of Justice Hall when a black male wearing a football jersey grabbed her by the arm and started talking to her. "He askee me 'What's a pretty girl like you walking by yourself for?'" Crosby said. Crosby said he then pulled her down to sit next to him on the wall and began feeling her arm, leg and back, all the while trying to convince her to come up to his room to "have some fun." "That's whenI knew I had to get out Lance of there," said Crosby. "A million different things were going through my mind on what I could do to get away." When Crosby saw some­ one she knew, she called out to him and the man let her go. Crosby said she immediately went back to her residence hall where she told her RA. The RA called the campus police, who interviewed Crosby in the lobby of the hall. Crosby said she told the police what happened and gave a description of the man. She picked Lance out of a photo lineup, but decided not to pursue the warrant at the time. Crosby said she was intimidated by University Police into not filing an official re­ port. "The way the police handled it made me feel it just wasn't right," Crosby said. "What bothered me must was (Capt. Foster) asked me what I'd been wearing. I knew then they weren't taking me seriously at all." On Nov. 11, Crosby attended an off- campus party with some friends, when she saw Lance. "I just turned around," said Crosby, "and he was right there." According to the report filed with Boone police on the Nov. 11 incident, Lance was being escorted by other guests out of the party for causing a disturbance and allegedly grabbed Crosby around the waist. After talking with her father, Crosby decided to pursue the case in reference to the Sept. 18 incident. Crosby swore out a warrant on Nov. 15. Lance turned himself in to cam­ pus police the next morning at 9 a.m. Lance has declined to comment on either incident. Head coach Jerry Moore said at this point he has no reason to pursue any disci­ plinary action, ana that Lance wiii continue to play in all play-off games. The national cham­ pionship will be held in at Marshall in Hun­ tington, WV on Dec. 16. Stove causes room fire in Justice Allison Pennell Issistant News Editor A fire in Justice Residence Hall on iv. 20 left the resident of room 200 with secd degree burns. The student was taken to fatauga Medical Center to receive treatment, rcording to Capt. Larry C. Foster of Univerfty Police. The cause of the fire was accidental »nature. A small breakdown backpack stove ias in use and fuel was in the process of beng added to the supply bottle. Fuel was spilled t and ignition occurred from the open flame on the stove. The student, a freshman, involved with the fire received second degree bums and was taken to Watauga Medical Center, said Foster. Scott Ranger, assistant director of residence life, arrived on the scene about 30 minutes after the fire began and said there was smoke and dust and it looked as though a lot of personal belongings had been damaged. Carpet and clothing had been on fire and tiles were burned. Ranger said the RA of the floor used the fire extinguisher and basically took care of the fire himself before the fire department ar­ rived.

She said Appalachian loses African-American students to the more urban areas which have more diverse communities. According to the survey, the second highest reason Afri­ can-American students gave for leaving Appalachian be­ fore graduation was a feel­ ing of alienation.

The rough draft of the article was sent to press instead of the final draft. Some of the minor corrections made to the final draft were that Suzanne Carter was not able to contact Joseph Safrit to confirm rough draft facts and that Safrit was not wearing a helmet during the accident.

Harry L. Williams, assistant director of admissions and alumni of Appalachian, said a more diverse faculty would help draw and retain minority students. He also said the re­ cruitment of minority faculty members is nec­ essary to the development of all students. Williams said the key to hiring a more diverse faculty is within the individual depart­ ments. He said the selection committees that interview to fill positions should be responsible in who they recommend to the vice chancellor of academic affairs for hire. Departments are being more open to means of finding more minorities," said Tay­ lor. According to Taylor, departments interviewed more minority candidates for hire last year than any year he can remember. He also said two African-American faculty mem­ bers were hired last year. "There has been a major effort made over the last few years to bring minority can­ didates into the pool of candidates," said Chan­ cellor Frances T. Borkowski. "It's (diversity) important to our uni­ versity with the increase of emphasis on affir­ mative action," said Williams. "This is a timely issue."

James E. Coble, 20, v/as charged with simple assault and Matthew R Cotton, 20, with communicating a threat in connection with an argument the two reportedly had with Daniel E. Wilson, 20, of Boone. Appalachian's Public Safety and Po­ lice Department said its officers responded to a disturbance at 315 Gardner Hall at 2:20 a.m. where the three men were arguing. Wilson told police Coble had hit him in the head with his fist and that Cotton had verbally threat­ ened him. Wilson signed a warrant for assault and communicating a threat. Sgt. R Minton arrested the students and took them to the magistrate's office. They were released and scheduled to appear in county court Dec. 19. The men were fighting over a prank Wilson allegedly played on them, a public safety report said. The report said Wilson told his friends someone they knew had ahand cut off, and when the group drove to the hospital, the driver was stopped for speeding. Once at Watauga Medical Center, they learned Wilson's story was a hoax, according to the report. Appalachian's Center for Student Involvement and Leadership.

Accuracy and Public Service since 1936 Our opinion... ished No. 2 in the final rankings, but did not have i what it takes to go all the way. This year's team is I different. "This team has a lot of heart," said ASU Head Coach Jerry Moore. "They are a special bunch of men. Early on we started calling them a bunch of misfits. But we work our kids hard and they don't mind hard work." One thing this team definitely has is chemistry. There is a good blend of upperclassmen and under­ classmen. Seniors like Shawn Elliott, Mark Ivey, Chip Miller, Clarence Sutton, Tony Perry, Scott Satterfield and Aldwin Lance offer great leadership to a team that plays a good number of underclassmen. Those underclassmen include guys like Damon Scott, Jackie Avery, Adam Neiheisel, Frank Leatherwood and the entire offensive line, Scott Kadlub, Chad Groover, Shawn Clark, Kenny Barbee and Dave Pastusic among others. Another thing the Mountaineers have is experi­ ence. All but five starters from last year's team who reached the quarterfinals are back. And this year, the team does not have to board a plane and play 3,000 miles away from home. Having been in the same position a year ago, the Mountaineers know what it takes to move on. "It is definitely a plus for us," said ASU linebacker Dexter Coakley. "Being able to play in our back yard in front of our fans." The team may have only won one game this year in a rout, the others have been hard fought wars. But time and time again, they have found a way to win and regardless of whether you win by one or 40, it is still a win. That is the sign of a true champion. Every game from here on out willbe a very tough one and it will take an all-out effort by the Moun­ taineers to continue on. Fortunately, Appalachian's best performances this year have come against its toughest opponents like Wake Forest and Marshall. Support on and around campus is ever increas­ ing and it is nice to finally see fans adorning Appala­ chian apparel not only at games, but also during the week. No matter what the result of this weekend's game or the rest of the playoffs, the staff of The Ap­ palachian would like to congratulate the Mountain­ eers on a history-making season and for being the best team in the country.

It is hard to believe that even in an ACC-dominated state, Appalachian has received so little recog­ nition from off the mountain. With Duke, NC State and Wake Forest all experiencing losing seasons, and North Carolina at a disappointing 6-5, one would think sports casters across the state would be jump­ ing on the bandwagon of an undefeated team. It is also worthy of mentioning that if ASU wins one more game, it will have won the same number of games as all four ACC teams in North Carolina combined. A win this Saturday would tie another record for Appalachian, as the Mountaineers have only reached the NCAA I-AA Playoff Semifinals once before. In 1987, ASU (11—3) had home field advantage in the playoffs, but lost to Marshall 24—10. The other two losses that season came at the hands of South Caro­ lina, 24-3 and Wake Forest, 16-12.

They take our exposure to fine work for granted everyday, as they overlook this paper and don't bother to go to any literary events. It saddens me to think that most students would rather attend yet another dollar flick, full of mindless ste­ reotypical characters, than go to see a poet in a coffee shop or listen to a novelist read from her work. Literature is an art. When most people think of "the arts" they think dance, painting, or drama. What has hap­ pened to the idea that the written word is valuable and precious? Someone please make me believe that a major­ ity of Appalachian students even have a favorite writer.

All of which may be true, but this would still be an extraordinarily bad decision. In the 10 years sinceI graduated, I have never met anyone whose alma mater has an arrangement like ASU does with the NYC loft and the Wash­ ington, D.C., townhouse. Suffice it to say that everyone in my office was suitably impressed. It's nice to be able to brag about your school to a bunch of over-dressed snobs who have never heard of it. And as it turned out, staying at the loft was a heck of a lot of fun, even if I did have to make my own bed. A group of business students came in Thursday night, and I got a chance to catch up on the happenings in Boone.

At present, 32 requests to stay at the Loft have been turned down for Spring 1996 due to a lack of available space. 7. The present owners bought the en­ tire building for $30,000. It is now worth $22 million. Now is the time to buy. Ed Midgett Associate Professor Department of Art The point of all this rambling is that ASU absolutely needs this loft. There's nothing like a trip to New York City to open an undergraduate's eyes to the possibilities out there. It also gives students a chance to learn that folks in NYC are just as big a bunch of goobers as the folks back home. Do whatever it takes. Use a little imagination. Cut the chancellor's sal­ ary. Make the basketball team wash their own uniforms. Have a bake sale. Let a group of business majors make a class project out of figuring out hpw the loft can turn a profit. Let a group of volunteer students stay there free for a week in exchange for painting the place and fixing the toilets. And most importantly, promote the damn thing. People won't stay there if they don't know it exists. The NYC loft is one of the best things ASU has going for it. Let's be farsighted enough to realize that and do whatever is necessary to keep it.

It cleared up some of my questions. I have a question about the pro-life insert which you said drew quite a bit ofresponse from readers. Were these written re­ sponses? If they were,Ihope you will publish theletters in the next edition. The readers deserve to know how otheis felt. Iwas also wonderingif your staff would have allowed a comparable pro-choice insert to be in the paper? I am not sure that you would have and that is what disturbs me. I have to say that I talked to To the Editor: Iam writingto comment on your disgusting insert that was included in Tuesday's issue of The Appalachian. Your insert was inappropriate and wrong. A large assortment of stu­ dents, including me, read your news­ paper every Thesday and Thursday. many people who were very disturbed and offended that the pro-life adver­ tisement was placed in the paper. I, however, did not feel that way. Iam a very strong believer in the freedom of speech. I do believe that you have every right to publish this advertise­ ment. However, why in fact was it included in every paper? Couldn't it have been put with the bulk mail in the post office? That way anyone who wanted to pick it up could have. But those who did not want to see or read it would not have had it thrown in their face. But, then for me, this was a learning experience. I am pro-choice in my per­ sonal views, but to be open-mindedI read the entire insert. I want to pro­ tect the freedom of speech — but to what extent does this freedom go? A lot of the information included in the pro-life "propaganda" was not just embellishment on truths —it was al­ most blatant lies. Do Americans have the right to freedom of speech when they are lying? I also would like to make a suggestion. When in college, many students sometimes get iso­ lated from the "real world events." Other college newspapers include an update of national and especially in­ ternational news. Couldn't The Ap­ palachian do this? And I believe in a woman's right to have an abortion. It is no one's business but a woman's if she wants to have an abor­ tion. Idon't know what you were try­ ing to prove by including photographs in your article but they were totally out of place. I have known someone who had an abortion and the proce­ dure is not carried out at all like your female "expert" described. Instead of including an insert that distorts the truth, why not include something that all college students have incommon: STRESS! IFC's, it was low enough to place them among the bottom third of all frater­ nities. This is not a good sign for a fraternity that is supposedly trying to impress IFC. I don't want to continue simply because I don't feel I have to. These men were not deserving of a place in ASIPs fraternity system. Not because we don't like them, not because they are a historically Jewish fraternity, but because they were not the organiza­ tion that is going to help lead our Greek system into the next century. Maybe they should go talk to Theta Chi, because these were men who proved they can make a difference here at ASU, and we congratulate them on their new colony.

Weatherless ASU Box 5845 Speakers ignored To the Editor: On November 9, in I.G. Greer au­ ditorium more than 30 students and faculty came together to hear Mayor Richard Vinroot, who is also a candi­ date for governor, NC Senator Virginia Foxx, and NC Representative Gene Wilson. They each gave brief speeches and answered questions from con­ cerned students and faculty. The event was advertised widely across campus and throughout the community. Press releases were given out to The Appa­ lachian and other media sources sev­ eral days before the event. Iwas extremely disappointed that the only news people who decided to show up at the event were not from our campus. A Watagua Democrat reporter thought that the event was important enough to shoot a roll of film and ask questions to the guest speakers. I can not imagine why an event such as this was not considered newsworthy for The Appalachian. It appears to me that the only rea­ son this event was not covered was the lack of space The Appalachian has to offer.

Hagerty ASU Box 15223 the Alaskan Federation of Natives in Fairbanks who represent a majority of Native Alaskans who favor oil explo­ ration in the Arctic Refuge. He failed to mention the real reason these Na­ tives voted "yes" for the exploration. Threatened with school closures, the AFN were forced to vote in support of the drilling. The majority of First Na­ tion communities support the Gwich'in position of protecting the coastalplain. Mr. Nolte then attempts to dis­ count the decline in the health of the Central Arctic herd of caribou due to the effects of exploration and devel­ opment by the petroleum industry. The Central Arctic herd is in trouble. An example of this is found in the de­ clining calving rate, increased rate in mortality of calves and deterioration in the general health of the herd. The Gwich'in depend upon the Porcupine Caribou herd whose calving and postcalving habits continue to prosper. The 250 Inupiat living on Barter Island rarely harvest caribou from the por­ cupine herd. They are sea mammal hunters and are adamantly opposed to any off shore oil exploration or de­ velopment activities. Mr. Nolte boldly states that the Inupiat are certain to face hardship without exploration and later states that there is "no chance the Inupiat can survive without it." The Inupiat village of Kaktovik is one of the rich­ est communities in the United States. The Inupiat traditionally lived in sod houses. And what if they did return to living in sod houses? Is Mr. Nolte saying that sod houses aren't good enough for them or are they just not good enough for him? In his second to last paragraph, Mr. Nolte clearly infers that the Inupiat own the sub­ surface mineral rights to the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. This is blatantly deceitful. They do not own the mineral rights or any other right to the Arctic Refuge. In his final paragraph Mr. Nolte defines the environmental movement as liberal imperialism. What exactly is liberal imperialism and where does the term originate? Is the time for environmentalism really paised? Lauren S.

Organized by SGA, ACT and Habitat for Humanity, the sleep-out was designed to alert people to the problems of hunger and homelessness in our country, and in our com­ munity. "We called it Appalachian's Annual Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness to give it the ring that it's already happening and will continue to happen so students will become more conscious of hunger and homelessness," said senior and co-coordinator of the sleep-out, O. Brian Johnson, a Morrissville native. Before they braved the cold for an entire night, students who hoped to raise both aware­ ness and funds went around campus asking for donations and soliciting pledges for every hour they spent out on Sanford Mall.

When Appalachian's next Annual Cam­ paign Against Hunger and Homelessness comes around and you don't think you can really make a difference, think of sophomores Oliver E M. and Kim E. W. Fresen. A married couple from Germany, Oliver and Kim alone raised $530 (that's not a typo) by asking any­ one and everyone to either sponsor them or to donate whatever they could afford. Said Oliver, "I'm just glad to know there are people around here that really care about the hungry and the homeless." Other organizations offered their services to help make the night a success. Because the snowstorm at the beginning of the week raised concern for the welfare of the crusade's par­ ticipants, Outdoor Programs loaned tents free of charge to help students weather the ele­ ments and stay warm. While Outdoor Programs kept students warm on the outside, Food Services kept stu­ dents warm on the inside by providing bot­ tomless cups of coffee and hot chocolate. Chesapeake and Boone Bagelries donated bags and bags and bags of bagels to make sure the big-hearted campaigners weren't in condi­ tions too similar to the hungry and the home­ less. Although Domino's didn't donate money to the cause, they did throw in some "dough" of their own; it came (in 30 minutes or less) in the much appreciated form of fresh pizza. Said Charlotte junior and Habitat for Hu­ manity co-president JeanneM. Garber, "Ithink the way area businesses contributed to the event is very much in congruence with how the homeless are actually treated here in Wa­ tauga County." Thanks to SGA, ACT and Habitat for Humanity, Appalachian's Annual Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness was a huge success. The $2,500 raised will be used by the Hospitality House, the Hunger Coalition, Habi­ tat for Humanity and O.A.S.I.S. to help those in our area in need of shelter and food. "Even though we raised over $2,000,1 think it would have been just as impressive if we had only collected $200," said junior Renaldo "Robby" M. Chase from Raleigh. "It's really encouraging that we raised a lot of money, but it's even better that we drew people's attention to the problems of hunger and homelessness... I think that was really the goal," said sophomore Gregory M. Bonito from Raleigh. Many students commented on the tremen­ dous spirit of unity during the "sleep-out." "It's kind of an intoxicating feeling out here with what we're doing and with the togetherness that you can sort of sense," said freshman see Homeless page 10 Not just a cup of Joe anymore Natalie Kozin Reporter Cappuccino, cafe latte, espresso, gourmet coffee, Mexican hot chocolate, chocolate cov­ ered coffee beans...If any of these are tanta­ lizing your taste buds, then this article was written for you. Before you jump into your car and dash off to a coffee shop, there are some factors to consider. First, you have a choice between beansTalk and Espresso News. Both are lo­ cated close to Appalachian's campus (beansTalk is on King Street and Espresso News is on Howard St. next to Savannah Joe's). So what are the differences between the two coffee shops? One of the biggest differ­ ences is that Espresso News is completely non­ smoking. This may not seem like much, but many people feel coffee and cigarettes go together like peanut butter and jelly. "Beans don't like smoke," says Espresso News employee Christopher J. Almeida, a se­ nior from Davidson. "They absorb the smoke, even in the sealed jars because the smoke gets trapped when you open them. It can also penetrate through the coffee bags. You can smoke out on the deck." beansTalk, on the other hand, said that smoke rises. That's why they only allow smok­ ing on the second level, and on the upstairs deck. The prices also vary. A small cup of cof­ fee at Espresso News is $.94, and large cup is $1.27. At beansTalk, the coffee of the day is offered for $.75, but flavored coffee is $1.00. At Espresso News, they have free refills. At beansTalk, if you buy two cups of coffee, the third one is free. As hard as it is to imagine, parking is an issue. beansTalk doesn't have a designated parking lot. In fact, the employees don't even have a legal space to park. Sara G. Whitlow, an employee at beansTalk, said, "When I would work 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.,I would have to move my car every hour to a new parking spot." Espresso News does have a parking lot, not very big, but they are all legal spaces. If you are claustrophobic, then you might prefer to go to Espresso News. With its check­ ered floor and bay windows, one gets a sense of openness. beansTalk, although it doesn't have an see Coffee page 10 beansTalk (top) is located on King Street across from the Presbyterian church parking lot.

Don't bet on it Movie Review Steven Mackay Reporter "Casino" (Rated "R"), the most critically anticipated movie of the year has arrived in time for Oscar consid­ eration. Its director, Martin Scorsese, is hailed by every movie critic as the greatest man ever to stand behind a camera. Now,Ilove the guy too, but in my humble opinion, "Casino" is a good looking, been-there, done-that movie that is way over long. Idon't care who directed it; these are not good statures in my book. This tale of gambling, power, money, politics, mobsters, drugs, bashed-in heads and the men who love it all clocks in at three hours and 20 minutes. Heck, you could build a ca­ sino in that time. "Casino" is a dark, disturbing and violent film that more than shadows Scorsese's excellent 1990 mob film "Goodfellas." It's a clone. Robert DeNiro once again plays the moral center of the movie, a gangster with a big, juicy heart. Joe Pesci is back to his specialty, playing a disgustingly vicious and foul-mouthed psycho en­ forcer who destroys everything he touches. In place of Ray Liotta's wanna-be gangster, Sharon Stone takes the trouble-prone role of the wedge that splits the long-lasting friendship between DeNiro and Pesci. The only changes are a warped love triangle and the Vegas setting. Here's the gist of the story: DeNiro plays Sam Rothstein, a gam­ bler extraordinaire who runs a Mafiabacked casino in 1970s Vegas. Over a few years, he amounts a vast sum of money and rises in the ranks of ritzy Vegas inner-circles. Everything is fine and dandy, un­ til Sam's ex-hustler wife Grace (Stone) and best buddy Nicky (Pesci) fall into the clutches of alcohol, drugs, sex and greed. Their actions eventually bring Sam's colossal empire crashing to the ground. By the time the end credits roll, bodies are stacked higher than a Texas billionaire's betting chips. Grudges aside, "Casino" is a mas­ terfully filmed movie with great cam­ era work, atmosphere and gritty dia­ logue (courtesy of screenwriters Scorsese and Nicholas Pileggi). The best scenes of the movie are the behind-the-lines look at how a casino is run, for instance how the owners catch and discipline cheaters. Cartoons The acting ensemble is also bril­ liant. The stand-out is Stone, who fi­ nally shows the acting range that has eluded her since "Basic Instinct." Also worthy of note is comedian Don Rickles' serious role as a tough casino manager. When it comes to showing the underbelly of society and crime, Scorsese is the best there is. However, he should have known when to cash in his chips. This too long gamble just manages to break even. Come Oscar time,Iwouldn't bet on "Casino" coming up aces. "Casino" is rated "R" for its con­ stant profanity, extreme graphic vio­ lence, drug use and a sex scene be­ tween Pesci and Stone (Ibet somebody was a happy camper on that day of filming). So, if you're the sensitive type, take your chances. Grade: B- life Wfc Sun is not rising on P.M. 's Dawn CD Review Sara LeWinter Reporter If you're wanting to be swept up and taken on a spiritual journey through a blend of sounds which seem to surpass the limits of reality, you should no longer turn to R M. Dawn. Their new album entitled, "Jesus Wept," is a mockery of religious sym­ bolism. The album might appear to be a combination of the earlier albums to dedicated fans, but the elements of consciousness can no longer be found in P M. Dawn's bohemian rap. The music will not soothe a troubled mind anymore because it has manifested it­ self into a commercialized, common R&B sound. It is ironic that a deeper meaning to life can only be found in a few of the titles of the tracks on this album, not the lyrics of the songs themselves. The song "Sometimes IMiss You So Much-Dedicated To The Christ Consciousness," is a prime example. x«< x«c"x«c<>5e< The distinguishing characteristic of R M. Dawn is the transcendental essence the musicians create for the or­ dinary individual. Hopefully, this essence has just been lost under the ideas of a demand­ ing record company. Those beautiful illusions that RM. Dawn once expressed from the mind are replaced with insig­ nificant words ot dejection on this album. The artists speak tn many of the songs about in­ timidation that is felt because of women who are not inter­ ested in having a romantic re­ lationship with them. The art­ ists express their own feelings of loss by saying that the women do not find themselves "divine" enough to be involved with the musicians. Although the familiar and vibrant spiritual energy of R M. Dawn is hard to find on this al­ bum, it does still produce a nice harmonizing effect that can be relaxing. R M. Dawn blew the minds of listeners away with their first two albums. This third album does not satisfy an audience with a new progressive sound. Dedicated fans should still x«<>ac< >»:< >as< >»>r check it out, because it still possesses a somewhat sensual beat to it. vmmsxvmt x«< >a Congratulations to the new members of SUpIja (Clji inducted on November 15, 1995 the student union collection box Age and Sex of Kids Needim Gifts are Availafie -- No Limits tn Somdini Linda K.

Head Coach Jerry Moore won the Wallace Wade Trophy as the Southern Conference Coach of the Year after bringing Appalachian its first ever 11-0 season. This is the recordtying third time that Moore has received this honor. Junior linebacker Dexter Coakley was se­ lected as the conference's Defensive Player of the Year for the second year in a row.

Reporter There is only one sport that requires tack­ ling, kicking, and running without pads, hel­ mets, or time outs. This sport is rugby, the game of organized confusion. Rugby was invented in 1823. An English soccer player mistakenly picked up the ball and carried it forward, and the rest is history. It is now played in 160 countries around the world. Appalachian's club rugby team is in its 27th year. The team plays in the fall and spring. The team is now 4-2 this season. They defeated the Johnson City Union 27-24 on Nov. 18. Appalachian scored five tries, two by first-time scorers "C" Edwards and Kevin Lawson. Matt Walsh, Greg Cable, and Bob Gonzalez scored the other tries. The twopoint goal was completed by David Hitch.

Twelve-and-oh, three to go. On Saturday, December 2, a day which is without a doubt the single most sensational sports day in Appalachian history (oh, Geor­ gia Tech is coming to Varsity Gym for roundball, too?), we get a match made in heaven. The Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks versus the Appalachian State Mountaineers. Roll up the sleeves of those flannels and stuff a plug under your lip, because this is where the big 'uns stomp. Appalachian State's football team finally started getting press in early November, as the Mountaineers wrapped up an 11-0 season. Venues other than the Democrat and this fine establishment which you're reading took no­ tice, actually finding the time to patch together a few blurbs. "... on tonight's sports, we'll tell you about 5-5 Carolina and the struggling Wolfpack, meeting Saturday for their finales. The Hor­ nets ponder a 4-8 record, Andre Agassi pulled a muscle, the Pop Warner championships get under way, and we have footage of that amaz­ ing dog that can shoot three-pointers off its snout. "And the ASU Mountaineers take on James Madison in the first round of the Division 1AA playoffs. Good night, everyone." You have to ask yourself: what the honk took these television stations and papers so long? And has McNeese State, Troy State and Murray State, all 11-0 during their seasons as well, suffered the same indifference from re­ gional media? Yet the closer ASU comes to fulfilling a dream (which likely began after last season's 17-14 loss to Boise State in the tour­ nament quarterfinals), the more we can ex­ pect major press to ride inside the Mountain­ eers' collective jock. Eleven-and-oh for the regular season. You want some synonyms for unaware family and friends off the mountain, we got 'em. Perfect. Flawless. Unbeaten, unconquered, undefeated. Yeah, there were a few close calls, so throw "lucky" at the bottom of that list. Truth­ fully, almost every other week was a breastgrabber, and probably none was more thrill­ ing than the last scheduled game at the Cita­ del. Quarterback Scott Satterfield's lastgasp toss to Ron Gilliam for the 28-24 win seemed destined. Even listening over a clock radio, as the play-calling was interupted by burps of static, you had to believe. There was no doubt during those final five minutes that App would pull the bunny from Yosef's hat. Now, Stephen F. Austin comes visiting, straight from the heart of Texas. For SFA, Saturday's game is like a homecoming, of sorts? the 19th century colonizer from whom the school gets its name was born in Austinville, VA. Stephen F. Austin can't be too used to the type of weather that Boone usually pours on us in December. But, the High Country might not cooperate this time. The infallable Weather Channel calls for fair skies and mild conditions, so any hopes of sleet storms playing a part in the pass-happy Lumberjacks' demise are like wood chips in the breeze. Then again, this is Boone. We can still pray for an early visit from 01' Man Winter. As the major media has found concerning the Mountaineers, it's just when you ignore him that you get a big surprise. l Despite the lack of recognition off the mountain, ASU fans supPort team.

Ivey has enjoyed his last season with the Mountaineers. He started in 1991 as a walk-on. In 1992 he played in 10 games. He started in all 11 games in 1993 on the defen­ sive line. He made two tackles for loss, a sack, four pressures and two broken passes. He also posted seven tackles in three outings at the Citadel, Furman, and Georgia South­ ern. Ivey started in all 13 games last season. He had a record of 52 stops with 17 solos and 35 assists. Fourteen quarterback pressures and two pass deflections also contribute to his record. He made at least two tackles evety game. By the end of last season he had compiled 100 tackles, with 44 solos and 56 assists. Eleven quarterback pressures can be added to the list from this sea­ son. He has started in all 13 games. Ivey recalls the 4-7 season in 1993. "We played some good type games. We were just real young." Now that the Mountaineers have ad­ vanced tol2-0 Ivey states, "Instead of finding a way to lose, we found a way to win." Ivey is an industrial tech major.

The 4-7 1993 sea­ son was tough for Lance because he had not been on a losing team. Now that he looks back and compares it to this season, Lance is especially proud to be a Mountaineer. "Experiencing that loss and knowing how it feels, being at your worst, really makes this season even better." Three games away from the end of his final season, Lance admits he doesn't realize his career is coming to an end. He said, "Coach told us that we don't know what we've done. It hasn't hit us yet." Lance is considering moving to New York to pursue a career in his major, chemistry. mates he's leaving behind. "You have to wait, be patient, and wait your turn," says Gilliam, "work hard and you will accomplish your goals." Gilliam's cousin, Gerald Dixon with the Cleveland Browns, has encouraged Gilliam to work hard at whatever he does. "He knows how hard it is to make it to the pros," said Gilliam. Gilliam does not plan on following in his cousin's footsteps. He will graduate in May with a psychology degree. Furthering his education, he plans to attend graduate school at the University of South Carolina or Clemson. As for his last season with the Mountaineers, Gilliam says, Tm tak­ ing each game one by one. It comes down to who wants to win." Gilliam also made the statement that sometimes athletes are looked down upon. "We're not getting hand­ outs, we work hard." He also com­ mends the fans and thanks them for their support. "1 was so cold playing in the Western Carolina game. Iknow the fans were freezing because they were just sitting there, not able to move around. I greatly thank them. They are the true fans." Willie McLain One of13 players to score for the Mountaineers this sea­ son, senior Willie McLain says the touch­ down against Edinboro marked his best game of the sea­ son. McLain's football career with the Moun­ taineers started in 1991, but after playing in two games he was injured and he re­ ceived a medicalredshirt. McLain re­ turned in 1992 to play in all 12 games. During the 1992 season he got his first career start in the James Madison game. He picked up 145 yards rushing on 34 attempts and nine kickoff returns for 172 yards. McLain was named Southern Confer­ ence Freshman of the Week for his performance at the James Madison game. He scored his first touchdown in the Tenn-Chattanooga game on a 32 yard gain.

David Willis Sports Editor Appalachian advanced to the NCAA I-AA Playoff Quarterfinals last Saturday with a 31-24 win over the Dukes of JMU. The Mountaineers are coming off one of their best offensive perfor­ mances of the year, despite missing two field goals. They are going to need their offense this week against the high powered Lumbeijacks of Stephen F. Austin. The Lumbeijacks racked up close to 500 yards of total offense last week­ end against EasternIllinois. QB James Ritchey threw for a career-high 390 yards, completing 16-25 passes and two TDs. yards and an eight-yard touchdown in the 1993 match with TennChatanooga. In 1994, he played in 11 contests with a longrun of 16 yards against North Caro­ lina A&T. The 12-0 season the Mountaineers have captured truely makes McLain proud. "When I was getting recruited they said there was a chance we'd win the North Carolina Champion­ ship," recalls McLain. | Now that the champi­ onship is so close, he's glad he came back for his last season. McLain took accelerated classes last spring in order to graduate, but he decided to stay one more season. "I stayed allsummer and worked out. Fve never quit anything." Quitting is obviously something McLain is not going to do. An ac­ counting major, McLain graduates in December and will remain with the CPA firm he is working for in Johnson City, Tennesse. Though he knows his career with the Mountaineers is coming to an end, he hasn't taken the fact too hard.

Borkowski, Chancellor It is with great regret thatI am unable to join you for this evening's rally.Ihave had a long-standing obligation that I simply could not change at the time this event was scheduled.Iapplaud the organizers of this rally for addressing a growing and , in many parts of the country, critical issue: hat and intolerance. Short of physical violence, which is becoming more frequent, the use of language, either oral or in writing, to threaten violence against people on the basis of their status or lifestyle, is antithetical to the basic core of each person. Antithetical to their humanness. It denigrates the human spirit andreflects the intent of the perpetrators to balkanize and isolate people of difference. Those who communicate messages of hate frequently believe that they have license to do so in the name of freedom. Pope John Paul stated at the United Nations this fall, "Freedom is not simply the absence of oppression. Nor is freedom a license to do whatever we like. Freedom has an inner "logic" which distinguishes it and ennobles it. Freedom provides the opportunities to respect the culture of others and is therefore rooted in our respect for each community's attempt to answer the question of human life. Detached from an understanding, appreciation, and reverence for each human person, freedom deteriorates into license in the lives of individuals; it becomes the caprice of those wishing to exercise power and demonstrate the arrogance of that power," 5:30 pm Francis BI Saturday, December 2: Quinn Center: Close at 3 pm: Aerobics: Regular Schedok^' Life Fitness Centre: Regular Schedule Closed The National Security Education Program (NSEP) fellowships are artstudy of languages, cultures and world regions not commonly repress ^ U.S. International Education, specifically, those areas outside Westemh E, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Blimling, vice chancelstudent development, presented the 0Sed student fee increases for Fall 1996 e Student Government Association Tuesor ^ Blimling came with associates Jane jJIli vice chancellor for business affairs; Dr. Harvey R. Durham, provost and vice chan­ cellor for academic affairs; Dr. Judy A. Clark, assistant director of athletics; and Bob K. Feid, associate vice chancellor for student develop­ ment, to discuss raising student fees in such areas as education and technology, athletics, health services, food services, housing and transportation. According to the1993-1994 Financial Report, 14.38 percent of the university's money comes from tuition and student fees. Blimling said the proposal increases the education and technology fee by $7 per student for the upkeep of computers. Also, the athletics fee would be raised by $12 dollars to add new faculty teaching positions. The health services fee would be raised by $4 and must be paid or overnight medical service will be stopped or pharmaceu­ ticals will not be given out freely. The housing fee would increse by $50 for proper maintenance of the residence halls. The transportation fee would be in­ creased by $5 for the AppalCart System. The food services fee would be raised by $40. Helm said that consultants will be on campus the week after Thanksgiving to look at the food services. The consultants will be taking student ideas and will be considering letting franchises such as McDonald's come on campus. "Why keep it if the students don't like it?" Helm asked regarding the current food ser­ vice. "I am pleased to see that the admin­ istration seeks the input from the Student Gov­ ernment and I hope that our proposed sugges­ tions concerning the increases would be of help," said Paul Burleson, state affairs chair­ person of SGA. Blimling said that SGA will discuss the fees after Thanksgiving and then give their feedback to the administration. Acuity Senate looks it Greek lousing iffany Lohman ews Editor Dr. Gregory S.

Blimling said the classes are paid for, so they should be provided to the students at all times. Blimling said Appalachian State University has only been closed on rare oc­ casions. "1 don't anticipate any changes," he said. According to Blimling, he met with Chancellor Frank T. Borkowski and other vice chancellors Wednesday at 5:30 a.m. to dis­ cuss the possibility of cancelling classes. Blimling also said many students have misconceptions about the chancellor's authority. "The chancellor doesn't have the authority to close the university, but he can close classes." Blimling said faculty and staff would still be required to report to work even if classes were closed.

SYNOPSIS Powerful and passionate, colorful and compelling, Larry Clark's KIDS is3 cautionary tale that is both exhilarating and devastating for one simple reason: it offers an uncompromising vision. As a fictional drama, it is 24 frenetic hours in the lives of a group of contemporary teenagers who, liM teenagers, believe they are invincible. As an.artistic endeavor, it's the breathtaking images of one of the world's, most renowned photographer5" in motion to capture the beauty and tragedy of youth.. Director Larry Cl^ : confronts the reality of adolescent sexuality in American society (where 4; of teenagers have had sexual intercourse by the tenth grade, and roughly have had unprotected sex by the age of nineteen)* and forces us to acknowledge it, even if it disturbs us. A mirror of our times, KIDS is a affecting, no-holds-barred landscape of words and images, depicting v/ith r5 honesty the experiences, attitudes and uncertainties of innocence lost. ^' gets under the skin and lingers, long after it is viewed. The kids at the core of the story are just that: teenagers living in the urt>ar' melee of modem-day America. But while these kids dwell in the big their story could, quite possibly, happen anywhere. KIDS gives us one the lives of these teenagers, the hottest day of the year... a sing'e day & V# everything and nothing will change.

Does the appeals process work? We've all gone through it, cruising campus for a parking space for hours on end, finally find one that looks legal, and you come back, in plenty of time to avoid parking too long, and there is still a ticket un­ der your windshield wiper. There is an appeals pro­ cess available. If, within seven days, you go to the university police office and pick up a form which asks you to explain the reasons you feel the ticket was given in error, your ticket will go through the mo­ tions. , We say "go though the motions" because it is hard to say more exactly what happens next. The appeal eventually ends up at an appeals court which is pre­ sided over by a panel of students, faculty and staff (though not specifically named) and the appellant's reason that the ticket should be dropped is judged by this panels expertise. The amount of tickets the panel looks at each month is uncertain. When a reporter asked for this information, Mr. Tugman's secretary responded by saying, "about this many," holding her fingers a couple of inches apart to estimate the size of the stack. If that stack is assumed to be around 50 (based on the report that there are approximately 200-250 appeals per semester), a flaw in the system has been ex­ plained. That flaw is the neglect of the ability of the ap­ peals court to allow students a chance to speak on their own behalf, which is a right the students have if they check a certain box on the appeal form. Many students we talked to had checked that box, hoping for a chance to further plead their case (more in depth than the seven lines on the form allow for), but none had been called and informed of the date and time they would be able to appear before the panel. The students we talked to got a notice of approval of the appeal, or a denial and bill for the ticket and process all the while thinking they would have a time to speak. If the panel must go through 50 appeals in a day at the end of each month, they may not have the time to hear eveiyone who wants to speak. This does not mean the appellant should not get their chance. The court should be held more often or for a longer session at the end of each month to hear each appel­ lants verbal plea. Since there are usually between 200-250 appeals per semester, that is a large amount of appellants who have been denied the right to speak. Though we tried, we could also find no better definition of what appeals are approved and which are not than "if they are reasonable." Every single appeal that is filed is reasonable to someone, other­ wise it would not be filed in the first place. Even so, the number of denied appeals far outweigh the ap­ proved. We are sure that the panel does the best they can within the bounds they work. However, it may be time for a more comprehensive and user friendly process. We urge the university to examine the cur­ rent process by gathering some concrete data and make it more efficient and responsible. After all, parking fees and tickets may fund many things at Appalachian, but is the money fairly acquired.

Most of them will go on to be teachers in elementary, middle, or high schools. All of these will need to be prepared for the inevitable censorship of books. According to the American Library Association's Of­ fice for Intellectual Freedom, there were 760 reported challanges to public and school library materials. This is a 50 percent increase since 1991. Among the top 10 books banned were Forever by Judy Blume, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, and J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rve. Forever was banned mostly because of what some saw as graphic descriptions of sex. According to David Mielke, a professor in the education department, Judy Blume is problematic because some groups feel she presents "alter­ natives to young girls outside Christian ethics." Also, he said, "Her books talk frankly about girls' private lives, and makes references to sexual strual cycles, and sex drives." It is true that these are present throughout her books, but isn't it also true that young girls will all have to deal with these things very soon in their lives? Isn't it better to educate them instead of sheltering them from the world? Huckleberry Finn was banned because some thought Twain's portrayal of African-Americans was de­ meaning. Also, some feel the book is racist, because the word the word "nigger" is prevelant throughout. How­ ever, intelligent and open-minded people can see that the book was written during a different time period. Mark Twain was progressive for his time, and actually advocated more rights for African-Americans. The book most connected with censorship is The Catcher in the Rve. This book has drawn fire because it describes the main characters' sexual fantasies, has a masturbation scene, and does what most book-burners can't stand: it challenges authority. What the censors fail to see is that these things are all facts of life. What ties these books together, other than often being censored, is they are all very good books, and are considered classics by many. It seems the book-burners are afraid to give children a fair and accurate descrip­ tion of what the world is like. This will only create for a child in his/her future. How can argue that being prepared for something ^ ably better than being unprepared? Not m 'Sn°:x many,ii,Ad or, should I say, I hope.

Remember what Mom taught yo; Vanessa Urruela Columnist I've come to realize that all those things my mother tried to ingrain in me as far as etiquette goes, were more than just reasons to get on my case. What has led me to this discovery is daily observation of behavior around campus. I could simply list the many broachings of good taste and common courtesy, but I'd much rather elaborate. These things have been let go much too long. We are all too far away from our mothers, to remember them all the time, I guess. When you walk through a door, how hard is it to reach back to hold it open a little longer so the per­ son walking behind you doesn't get smacked in the face? It's such a small motion that helps people out. Doesn't it irk you when a door starts to close right behind the lazy person in front of you? The post office is the place that I've seen the most rude behavior take place. How many times have you walked through the main door only to be halted by people standing in the way socializing? There is always a steady stream of traffic through those doors yet people seem to want to be social butterflies, while the rest of us try to get by. Does anyone really have time to spend in this part of our campus? I rarely mosey into the post office with lots of time to spend waiting behind people who don't under­ stand that they are in the way or who simply don't care. I'm always tempted to whap them over the head with the piles of bills I always seem to get. Another pet peeve of mine is the people who in­ sist on coming out of those little rows of hallways where the boxes are, hugging the wall. Isn't this world based on the "stay to your right" way of motion? I've countlessly bumped into people coming out of there as I hurry along trying to check my mail and still make it to a class. If they would be polite enough to remember to stay to their right, this wouldn't happen. What's the deal with people reading their mail as they walk toward the main doors, too? Talk about being in the way. There is a time for everything and as you walk out of the post office the next time, remember to read your mail later. Save it in your backpack as reading material to browse during your next hour of free time. The AppalCart brings on a few more examples of thoughtless behavior on campus. When on the AppalCart is impolite to put your wet umbrella on the seat beside you. Why? Because the person who comes after you will undoubtedly sit there long after you are gone and get a wet be­ hind as a result. The same goes for putting gum on chairs or benches. Along these lines, when the AppalCart is in mo­ tion, it is highly dangerous and totally rude to step in front of it. Pedestrians have the right of way except when a large bus is heading in his or her direction at over 20 mph. It is not funny when your walking across the street in front of the bus sends it to a screeching halt. Try not to do this when regular cars are heading your way too. When you walk through a door, how hard is it to reach back to hold it open a little longer? In class, I've witnessed several things fa ^ I'd never been privy to. Gum chewing has got toXrt worst thing to have to listen to when trying to i»X tion in class. Not only is it disgusting when done '• -11 is also distracting. One way to know whether or are chewing loudly is to stop and listen to it. if,a w hardly hear the professor over your jaws, you arf too loud. Similarly, why is it that there almost alwaw to be that one student who takes like 10 minutes to package of crackers all the while trying to ward ofli from the rest of the class? Just open it before eyoiid the room. Easy enough. Among many cultural faux paus I've seen one that never fails to happen. When going to a Farthing, it is impolite to enter the auditorium show has started. Wait until the intermission ti you are late. The light that comes in through*! and the commotion one causes when trying top one's seat is distracting to both performers and: ence. This isn't just a pet peeve of mine, it in etiquette. Go to Lincoln Center and you'll net, kind of thing happen. In the study rooms in the new studeiturn il k' in the study sections of the library it is way outoilineiju Mjlu and talk to people. When you do this you take aw; personal right to concentration that people go tod# eas for. Next time you have the urge to chat, _ (t where else, just not the post office or these areas. t All these things seem like petty complair: they can add up to be pretty unpleasant when you N|mr more than a few of them each day.

Polite is as polite does. nrkil t Beware of junk mail on nterne •me Jasi per. -t: Jason Wilkinson Assistant Editorials Editor Students, herein I will describe a tale so twisted, so frightening, that it will persuade even the hardest of hearts to shudder from the sheer wickedness of the monitor people and the diabolical mailing list. I will start at the beginning. I was dog-paddling around on the internet and decided to look up a band, Smashing Pumpkins. I don't really remember doing it, but appar­ ently I then did something no one should ever do. I sub­ scribed to a mailing list. It was put sort of indirectly, like "would you like to be informed when this page is updated?" Sounds harmless enough, eh? Sure, I want to be updated. "Updated" means "in touch", right? I'm hip, like Detail magazine. Poor unsuspecting fool was I. The next day I get about 200 letters concerning Smash­ ing Pumpkins. Mind you, this is about 200 hundred let­ ters a day about a single subject. There is nothing, not even the Highlander series, that I care enough about to want to hear about it 200 times a day. So, naturally I try to get off the mailing list. I send in a polite little letter asking to be taken off the list. I get about 197 letters back the next day, the 64th one telling me to get off the list myself. I naturally have no idea how to do this, as I just recently mastered the electric can-opener. So the trend goes on, I keep asking how to get off, they keep sending me letters telling me I'm an idiot. Some of the letters tell me how to unsubscribe from the list, only no two directions are alike, and none of them actually work. These mailing lists were proving to be like a Turkish Prison. But here's the real kicker. Each person on campus has a certain amount of memory, disk quota, file space, magic power, etc. allotted to them. Sometimes, over the week­ ends, I would get so many letters that they would go into some kind of mystical "other than mail" file. The excess of wasn't off the mailing list. The time for drastic measures letters was the essential of e-mail kryptonite, robbing me was near. I knew these people involved with the maiiing of my e-mail power so that eventually it took away my list were a different breed. They had time, and for some disk quota, and I could no longer send e-mail (which was reason the interest, to spend so many man hours reading necessary to get off the mailing list). I got one of the lab about a single subject. I shudder to think about the people assistants to help me at this point, but the only thing he who may be subscribing to more than one list. Basking in and I could figure out was to just give me more disk quota. the erie blue glow of the monitor, they hold contempt for The "other then mail" file can't be accessed or erased (or people who uphold contact to the outside world. The tribe at least we couldn't), hence the mystical qualities I earlier is not friendly to outsiders. I sent a letter telling them how described. this mailing list was the bane of my existence, and how it I had gained back my e-mailing powers, but I still caused me actual physical pain. I got a letter back. It was not friendly, it called me a moron, but it hel< getting off the list. The terror had ended. The mystical fi'e • but it can do no more damage until I fi?ure destroy it.

Ie made it clear that we are not at•mpting to wipe out dissection on unpus. Rather, we believe that those lting to take Biology should be al|wed to choose not to dissect, withut being penalized. , Many people are not aware of the ict that there are alternatives. Plast models, computer programs, and deos are just a few. These alterna­ tes serve to be educational as well i humane. They have proven to be teaper in the long run because they :usable. They do not have the envimmental impact that the removal of ogs and other animals does on the mounding ecosystem. This depleDn may have an extremely dangeris effect on human life as well. , PAL is aware of the fact that there ;e others out there who do not feel ght about dissecting. This is evident t the article, "Dissection: Not for evlybody and shouldn't have to be." In it, Vanessa Urruela stated that she is an English major and she is taking Bi­ ology simply for her required science credit and because no other science appeals to her. She does not feel dis­ section to be necessary to her own knowledge. She feels it unfair for dis­ section to be forced upon her or oth­ ers who are not Biology majors. She also addresses alternatives and how they would be cheaper for the univer­ sity. She sums up her argument by saying that she is willing to take a fail­ ing lab giade so as to not go against her own beliefs. PAL would like to educate others on the importance of alternatives and choice in the classroom. We do not recognize observing as an alternative to dissecting. It is also significant to note that the use of alternatives is not a revolutionary idea. Several promi­ nent medical schools do not have dis­ section. PAL is thankful for individu­ als like Vanessa Urruela for speaking out against dissection in accordance with her own set of beliefs. Hopefully, others will continue to be heard inside and outside the classroom until alter­ natives are offered. Sarah R.

The problem we have in Boone is not the amount of parking, but the amount of cars. People are too depen­ dent on vehicles.

Norris SGA Chairman of External Affairs ASU Box 16908 Borjes defends his crown To the Editor: This is a response to Ken Larking's "Abdicate the throne"article which ap­ peared in the Nov. 2 edition of The Appalachain. "Does anyone remem­ ber who they are?" Yes, I am sure that many do remember who they, the Homecoming King and Queen, are. Mr. Larking, you are right about the King and Queen being "figureheads." But, what is wrong with a figurehead? Whether we like it or not, the King and Queen will represent the university. History cannot be changed. Speaking of history, doesn't ASU have a long history of Homecoming majes­ ties? From the beginning, when we had Mister and Miss Appalachian, to this year's addition of the Homecom­ ing King, Appalachian has continually supported the existence of a represen­ tative chosen by the students. Ken, you mentioned the Chancel­ lor taking time from his afternoon nap "just so the Homecoming Court can be paraded down the field" as an effort, I assume, to show what a waste of time the ceremonies are. If the actions of the Chancellor are analyzed, it reflects the fact that he feels the ceremonies are important enough to get out of bed. On that note, did you "check your facts" to see if the Chancellor takes an afternoon nap? You also reported that "only eight percent of the student body votes for these figureheads." Instead of using this as a reflection on the positions of Homecoming King and Queen, maybe you should write an editorial on the apathy present within the student body. You say there should have been debates and speeches from the court. That is an innovative idea, but, if we turn the tables, I do not remember seeing you presenting yourself to show how you were the best qualified for the position of Edi­ torials Editor. I did not see any writ­ ing samples or other information about Ken Larking. At least I had a list of involvement under my picture when students had a chance to vote on my position. Do we really need another repre­ sentative of our campus? I see every student as a representative of Appala­ chian State University. Some happen to have titles, just as you do. No mat­ ter what a student here at ASU does, or is involved with, he or she is repre­ senting our campus. So, the ones that do stand out obviously did not get all their votes by being known as a "massmurderer" or "pedophile." Ken, in the last paragraph of your editorial you said that you "chedced your facts and came to the conclusion that the King and Queen have about as much purpose on this campus as the unnamed art in front of Walker." The unnamed art has a purpose on this campus just as you and I. We all have different purposes and our purposes improve ASU in our own unique ways. It was a great honor for me to be elected as Homecoming King. I feel it is my duty to defend the title, the pur­ pose of the majesties, and myself when I am criticized. I am writing to reas­ sure everyone that April D. Worley and Matthew E. Borjes are more than qualified to represent the University. I hope that when I pass my crown down next year to the next qualified King, that he will feel honored to have the opportunity to represent ASU. I also hope he enjoys the purpose he is given on campus and maintains the high standards I hope to set. Matthew E. Boijes 1995 Homecoming King ASU Box 10196 Christians don't advocate hate Prejudice condemned To the Editor: To the Editor: There are a lot of frightening things in the world today. They be­ come even more scary when they strike close to home. The thing is, though, these scary things were al­ ways here. ASU didn't import them and they shouldn't surprise us too much, because they've been around since mankind decided to go off on his own, apart from God. One of the ramifications of that rebellion against God was seen recently in the tunnels under Rivers Street and there were a lot of reactions to the messages there. We're referring to the messages by the homosexual community and the re­ sponse by those who disagree with that lifestyle. Whether you're gay or not, it's kind of alarming to see the hatred that was displayed on the tun­ nel walls. For Christians, it was even more apalling to see that whoever wrote over the gay messages also wrote "God hates gays." We beg to differ with that and can easily point you to the standard to prove it. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever be­ lieves in him shall not perish but have eternal life"(emphasis ours). We don't believe that God sees homosexuals any different than heterosexual. Don't get us wrong. We believe that the homosexual lifestyle is biblically and morally wrong (no big surprise there; see Romans 1:26,27), but not anymore wrong than anything that we do that displeases God and cer­ tainly no more wrong than the vile language of hatred painted later. In addition, we realize that the gay com­ munity would take offense at that, but we can't avoid that (Ephesians 4:14,15). Those are our convictions. But an equally vital issue is the hatred spewed all over the tunnel against homosexuals. Homosexuals are people no less worthy of our re­ spect than anyone else. You won't con­ vince anyone of your opinion by the axe of your argument in their skull. Hatred toward people is wrong and entirely outside of God's character. We're disappointed that the messages of hate were painted in the tunnel, and we're disappointed no matter who the target was. The Bible is all about God reach­ ing out to rebellious mankind, to rec­ oncile the relationship with Him, not just the "righteous." Unfortunately, it's a part of our nature to hate and resist God but gratefully, in His mercy, He sent Christ to die on the cross for our waywardness. He hates our sin, but loves us. Reread John 3:16 for yourself. The great mathematician and philosopher, Paschal, said that in ev­ ery man is a God shaped vacuum which can only be filled by Jesus. Regardless of your persuasion, God desires to embrace you, not hate you. As sinful and rebellious people, all of us, we need to allow Him to trans­ form us so that we can experience His best. Love, joy, peace, patience, kind­ ness, goodness, gentleness, and selfcontrol. But that requires our will­ ingness to trust Him and not our own "wisdom" or "goodness." As Christians we don't have to condone a lifestyle, but we're com­ manded to love one another. Whether it's those who were the victims of the hatred or the perpetrators of that ha­ tred. There are a lot of frightening things in the world today. The ha­ tred displayed in the tunnels, falsely "in the name of God," is one such thing which we believe as wrong (I John 2:9). However, missing the message of why Jesus came is much more frightening. That mistake can last an eternity. Neale Davis -Campus Crusade for Christ John Hanna -Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship Greg Millsaps, Reed Thomas -New Life Ministries Jeff Ballard -Campus Christian Fellowship Religious speculation To the editor: I know that many have re­ sponded about the hate paintings that occurred in the tunnels recently, and they have been well thought out and rational in their appeal. People on both sides of the issue have quoted the Bible as one source of their argu­ ments, most likely because the Bible was used in the tunnel graffiti. This I would like to address, for I am not sure how many of those who actually wrote the editor know God. It is easy to pull out certain verses to back up your viewpoint, but that is wrong. The Bible must be looked at as a whole. I feel the issue has be­ come clouded and sidetracked. If God were to respond specifically to this incident, then I believe that He would say something like this: The writers of the tunnels were correct in saying that God does not let homosexuals into heaven, but they forgot to mention everyone else He refuses to let in. God does not allow anyone into His kingdom on their own merit. God's standard is perfec­ tion, and we have all missed that. It is not what we do that keeps us from Him, it is who we are. In God's eyes we have all fallen short of His glory (and He is right). We are all worthy of hell, and it does not matter whether we are homosexual or have stolen a piece of gum from a store or become psychopathic killers. However, God did not choose to leave it like that. He, in His infinite love, made a way to enter His king­ dom even though we don't deserve it. And that is the issue at stake, not who spray-painted what on which wall. The issue that really matters is, "What have you done with His son, Jesus Christ?" And that is the ques­ tion that God will ask each one of us. Because of Jesus, anybody (regardless of their past) may come to God's king­ dom. He accepts people of every walk of life. Don't be fooled, though. God does not let anybody into His king­ dom unless they have repented and turned to Jesus Christ. That is God's view about this issue, and every other one. God is not on anybody's side. In His love for the whole world He gave us the chance to escape the pun­ ishment that is rightfully ours by tak­ ing it on Himself. What is your re­ sponse to Jesus Christ? That is what God would say about this situation. E. Burwell Stark ASU Box 17277 ATTENTION STUDENTS! Find your local IFC member and shake his hand. Why, you ask ? Well on Nov. 8 IFC killed everything that the student body wanted to accomplish and man­ aged to destroy the concept of broth­ erhood and the US Constitution. I am a member of Pi Lambda Phi Fraternity. The Pilam's have been here since 1989 and since 1989 we have done what we had to do to survive. When we went up in front of IFC to see if we could get on campus last week, we encountered something very disturbing. No one wanted to listen. We found out later that they had no intentions of listening. THAT IS PREJUDICE. Why we have been discriminated against is beyond me. Could it be be­ cause we are a historically Jewish Fra­ ternity? Could it be they feel threat­ ened because we believe in quality not quantity (unlike a lot the them)? Or maybe it is because of the things we have done in the past? Well, I have news for the other fraternities. We did what we had to do to ensure the exist­ ence of Pilam for years to come. As far as IFC goes I CONDEMN you for your lack of brotherhood, your underhanded trickery and your obvi­ ous prejudice. The slave traders could not, Hitler could not and you will not make clones of yourself and eliminate differences on this campus. In the Creed of Pi Lambda Phi the first line says "That all men are created free and equal," and the fourth stanza says, "That it is incumbent ppon me to fight for such freedom even with my life." We have found prejudice here and we will fight for our rights and the rights of others like us. IFC watch out, we are not going to take crap from you anymore. Josh A. Sanderson ASU Box 17127 Apples and oranges To the Editor: This is a response to Vanessa Urruela's article "Food Services needs serious changes." I would just like to clear up the misinformation that the article contained. As a senator on the Student Affairs Committee, I had the opportunity to meet with Ron Dubberly, the director of Food Ser­ vices. We discussed many of the is­ sues of Miss Urruela's article, so be­ fore you jump on the bandwagon to condemn Food Services you should know what its all about. The food served in the locations on campus is not of the low quality that the article would lead you to believe. All of the deli meats are top-grade and all the Italian products consist of the "real things": cheese, sauce, and toppings. Food Services does have a quality stan­ dard that it is required to maintain. As for cost, you get what you pay for. Most items on campus are reasonably priced. It is also not fair to compare cam­ pus food to all off campus food in price; you might as well compare apples and oranges. There are many restaurants that do not offer value menus that are much more expensive than campus locations. As for comparing The Market to Harris Teeter, do you compare the price of milk or bread in a convenience store? No, because you are paying extra for convenience, as you are in The Market. It is not feasible for Food Services to buy in bulk. Have you ever seen the market run out of anything other than certain drinks? The Mar­ ket is not meant to be a supermarket and should not be construed as that. No, you will not see a Taco Bell or a McDonald's in our cafeteria. It is not because Food Services does not want one. It is franchise contracts that prevent the same franchise to be within a one to two mile radius to each other. If it is feasible to bring fran­ chises into Appalachian, then the di­ rector wants to bring them in within the next two years. Food Services is not the money guzzling monster that it has been made out to be. You should compare our meal plans to other in­ state universities. Appalachian gives more freedom to its students with a debit plan rather than meals per day/ week. Our most expensive meal plan is still less expensive than the lowest meal plan at NC State. Remember this at your next trip to the vending ma­ chines. These snacks would not be included in many other university plans. Mike K. Shanus Doughton Senator ASU Box 08105 Dangerous lack of respect To the Editor: I found the article "Vandals strike construction site" (Nov. 2) a real shock. I cannot believe people can be so im­ mature. The article cited that some equipment had sand thrown into the gas tanks and engine. This is not just stupid, it is also very dangerous for the workers. And no wonder everything takes so long to get finished around here. I've heard so many people whine and complain about the lethargic way architecture projects are completed here at ASU and I have to admit I have been one of those people also. How­ ever, after reading the article, I am far more inclined to blame my peers and less likely to blame the construction companies. Also, besides the fact that these acts of vandalism make projects late, which means more money, which in turn also means possible reasons to raise our tuition, it also shows a total lack of respect. These crimes, because that is what they really are, show the side of people that is truly not some­ thing to be proud about. These are not acts to laugh over, they are some­ thing to be ashamed of, and I would like to personally give my apologies in lieu of one from the more childish side of our community. I am sorry I have been quick to put the blame where it most likely does not belong. Alison E.

College life changes all of that. for students living on campus, who have Lai plan the money dilemma is not so big. t However, the food available on campus is not exactly mouth watering. This is where money, real cash, becomes a problem. You have a plethora of restaurants that offer delivery to campus. If this is not enough to put a dent in your meager cash flow, there is always the Boone mall or those charming little shops on King St. that seem to call your name. Brandi J. Adams, a freshman from Con­ cord, says, "Freshmen should not have to buy the standard meal plan from the university, because you spend more money on take-out y o yUol and groceries. By the end of the semester; your checking account is depleted and you have so much money left on your meal card." Students living off-campus are faced with other; more immediate, obstacles. Most offcampus students do not have a meal plan with the university. They are responsible for keep­ ing close tabs on their money. These students need money for rent, utilities, and food. Also, most off-campus students have cars and need money for gas. If they are not careful with their cash, these students may find themselves eating bo­ logna sandwiches and drinking tap water for a few months. Another obstacle for the college student is the credit card. Once you hit 18, you too can have your own bad-credit trap of choice. From American Express to Visa, a new door to funds, and possible financial ruin, are opened. The only catch is that you usually have to pay a minimum fee of $20 a month toward your balance. What is that you say? $20 is noth­ ing? Well, it's not, if that's the only card you have. These $20 minimums can add up fast, and so can the amount you owe to the credit card companies. Before you know it, you have three cards, each with $500 limits, that are completely charged up. The good intentions of establish­ ing credit have now gone out of the window. Basically, you are $1,500 in debt and you can­ not remember where you spent it all. Sophomore Amy L. Campbell, from Mars Hill, says, "I started out just wanting to estab­ lish a good credit record, but I now have two credit cards and I owe more money than I can pay back right away. I wish I had never gotten a credit card." Dr. Terril R. Keasler, an associate profes­ sor of the finance, insurance, and real estate department at Appalachian, says students should consider saving their money instead of spending it all. He says students should try to hold down their expenses and recommends that they buy cars that do not put an enor­ mous strain on their budgets. Keasler also says that students shouldn't run up credit card bills and should pay them off every month. The message here is to be smart; budget your cash. If you live on campus, set aside one night a week for take out. Ordering out all of the time adds up. Your parents will thank you later. If you live off campus, allow enough in­ come for different expenses - rent, food, etc. Then spend what is left over wisely. It is al­ ways better to underspend than overspend. Don't get caught in the credit card trap. If you do obtain one, do not charge more than you know you can pay back in the next month. Don't count on that summer job to pull you out of this hole. You know what they say about the best laid plans.

Edwards, vice president said they had trouble finding the : es of the children last year, which led :10 try Santa's Toy Box. "It's basically the as Angel Tree. We just aren't responsible for locating the families," says Edwards. Last year with Angel Tree, A.PRS. reached over 200 children. This year Edwards feels they will reach even more. This is because Santa's Toy Box does not require the nomina­ tion of a particular child by someone in order to get a gift for them. A.RRS. will collect the toys in a toy box in Plemmons Student Union and take them to the old Winn Dixie, located off of King Street. Here a variety of churches, who are also participating in the community service, will arrange all gifts in order. Parents will then be allowed to come in and pick a gift for their child. All students have to do is pick a card off the tree next to Santa's Toy Box with a child's age and buy whatever gift they feel is appro­ priate. Then simply return the gift to the box. "We get lots of questions about what to give to a teenager. We always say board games, footballs, baseball bats and things of that nature. But really anything is fine," says Edwards. Chairperson of Special Events Holly R. Williams, a sophomore, says it's a great way for R.A.'s to get together with their floor and buy a gift for some child. "They can buy gifts all together or individually, either way is great," says Williams. Edwards says that if you want to buy a gift, then don't worry too much about what to give. "Whatever you give, it will make someone somewhere very happy." Brad S.

I i F H <1 fc Reporter Israeli Prime Minister Yitzak Rabin paid the ultimate price for peace. After speaking at a peace rally, he was assassinated by a rightwing Israeli Jew. Students and professors at Appalachian were shocked by the assassin's desire to end peace with violence. This incident devastated the citizens of Israel, but it left its mark on Americans as well. James A. Owen, of Asheville, says, "I think this is bad for the future of Israel, not only because it demonstrates the problems among Jews themselves killing each other, but essen­ tially (it shows) the strong preference of land over peace." Rabin lead Israel through four major wars. Before his death, the peace process had en­ countered many tjprhnicalities. Many students felt the Middle Edst was on its way to becom­ ing a unified nation. Frqjfhman Jennifer C. Bell, from New Haven, Conrr., says, "I thought this violence was going to end. The world we live in is still extremely uncivilized." ^ II I I » - si - • -• h RTJ? >. i I iJrs .*•> -.La-. '* L „r - Wx .

(Photo by Ken Larking) ItlZllTyT two-lane Richard Smith What Rabin and many other leaders wanted was to provide peace for the future generations of their countries. They wanted to end the fighting so their children could live peacefully in a land they could always call their own. Senior Josh A. Sanderson, of Asheville, says, "Traditionally we (the Jews) are not a violent people. This is the first assassination in the 47 years Israel has been a state." Students and professors on campus tend to believe the peace process will not move for­ ward. history professor Sheldon Hanft says, "They have become the victims of their own rationale for defending the land they acquired at a high price." The division between the modern Jews and the extremists lies in their (the extrem­ ists) strong beliefs in Judaism. Hanft also says after 3000 years of fighting for a homeland, Rabin's efforts to give up land for peace be­ came a reversal of Jewish tradition. Amy R. Goldman , a sophomore from Plantation, Fla., says, "I think that for now there will be a great deal of chaos, not only between the Israelis, but within the neighbor­ ing countries, too." Until the citizens of Israel are able to come to a common agreement, the future of the country's politics will become rash. Hanft says, "I think the Israeli citizens will see the assassi­ nation as a challenge to proceed and move forward. They will seek to condemn those who use the rhetoric of violence to condemn peace." Sophomore Danielle Bauman from Hickory agrees with Hanft, and feels greater efforts will be made now in order to attain peace and the more liberal Israelis will want to seek peace amongst themselves. Doug A. Rifkin, from Miami, Fla., says, "There will never be peace because the Israelis are too proud. The nation of Israel has a unified spirit that some people are unable to withstand, there will always be conflict." Some think it takes a violent act to make people recognize the sanctity of life over pos­ sessions. Freshman Rafeal Keren, a native of Israel, hopes they will condemn those who use violence against peace. Yet, peace will be a product of the nego­ tiations with the enemy. Owen says, "Shimon Peres has the supporters of Rabin, but he does not have the experiences that allowed for Rabin to propose riskier schemes in the hope for peace." His opponents will find his efforts to create peace as the beginning of tb" _.,u of a nation. • 1 I • I �The Appalachian 16 Nq Page 8 CD Review Sara LeWinter Reporter With a name like Self, you would expect to hear repetitive lyrics from another crazed alternative rocker. Self happens to be a 22-year-old singer/ songwriter who rises above that cli­ che. He replaces the common medio­ cre style of most indie labelers with an extraordinary musical form of ex­ pression. The artist fills the listener's mind with images of daily college life. The stress and anxiety every student feels before an exam is eased through lis­ tening to the song, "Lost My Senses." The song explains how your senses "go out to play" when you try to concen­ trate on cramming that last calculus theorem or biology term into your brain. Self, known as Matt Mahaffey to his friends, brings the vibrancy of the people who influence him into his music. Two of his main influences are Kiss and Prince. The sound of Self is produced through a combination of electric, bass, and acoustic guitars, but the sound of a trumpet intertwined with a steel drum and an alto sax add a dis­ 'Self expression tinctive flavor to his music. The songs of Self are "subliminal plastic motives" to express the true essence of life, the wonderment and constant confusion that makes us think. Self speaks of the "prolific wis­ dom English poets often write," and says to "believe the sound you breed" in "Sophomore Jinx." In the song, "Missed the Fric­ tion," the lyrics say to "inspire a na­ tion." Self brings a non-fan of alter­ native music into his musically chal­ lenging world of sounds and phrases. Self welcomes us all into his world which remains on the cutting edge. Ace not ace Movie Review Steven Mackay Reporter Animal lovers and movie buffs, get ready to cheer; the famous pet detec­ tive, played by mega-star Jim Carrey, is back in "Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls" (PG-13). The slight hissing sound you hear is the collective ego of every movie critic in the nation deflating. Last year, nasty guys like myself slammed "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" as trash, only to watch it gross a zillion dollars. Since then, both "Ace 1" and Carrey have grown on me. I actually like them now. The verdict on the just-released sequel is a different animal on to itself. Neither good nor terribly bad, "Ace 2" just manages to deliver an entertain­ ing and gross 90 minutes of yuk-yuks. The best scene is the first, a deadon spoof of Sylvester Stallone's spec­ tacular "Cliffhanger" opening, where the hero watches a loved one plum­ met to their death, high above moun­ tainous terrain. In Ace's case, it's a raccoon. Hiding out in a Tibetan monas­ tery for solace, Ace is called back into duty. His new mission: find a kid­ napped, sacred white bat, or watch in terror as the African Wachiti tribe goes to war with a neighboring village. Also, without the rare bat, the beauti­ ful Wachiti princess won't be able to marry the tribe's number one warrior Wachootoos. This movie is not geared toward the thinkers of society. The best scenes have already been played to death in the previews, most notably the off-the-wall "Scarface" spoof where Carrey yells in an A1 Pacino tone and mows d, bad guys with a ££\ The rest of thej0k« that I'm not allowed J ..

The Mountaineers (10-0, 7-0) will travel to Charleston, S.C. to take on the Citadel (2-8, 0-7) at 2 p.m., but before anyone gets too car­ ried away, remember that last year at home, winless VMI came into Boone and knocked off Appalachian in overtime. That loss denied the Mountaineers the Southern Conference Title and a home game in the first round of the NCAA I-AA playoffs. This year however, Appalachian has al­ ready won at least a share of the Southern Conference Title, which should take some of the pressure off, but if they lose Saturday, the Mountaineers will share the tide with Marshall, a team ASU has already beaten. "We suffered a loss to a VMI team that was 0-10, so we know that we will have to be prepared for each and every opponent," said ASU Head Coach Jerry Moore. "We haven't won down in Charleston since I've been here, so we know how difficult Johnson Hagood Stadium can be for a visiting team." The Mountaineers however, are coming off one of their best performances of the year, in a game with the worst possible weather con­ ditions. Appalachian racked up 303 yards rush­ ing, including Damon Scott's 205, in a 28-3 win over WCU. This is the junior from Cedar Grove's second 200-yard game of the year. The Mountaineer defense held the Catamounts to just 96 yards on the ground and only three points. Appalachian swept the Southern Conference's Players-of-the-Week honors as Scott, Dexter Coakley, and Joey Hall won of­ fensive, defensive and freshman, respectively. The Bulldogs did not fare as well this past weekend as they dropped a conference game to VMI 34-7. The Citadel defense is giving up 209 rush­ ing yards a game and 140 yards in the air. Thenwishbone offense is led by QB Stanley Myers who has rushed for 71.4 yards per game and throws for another 53. The Bulldogs who only throw about 10 times a game, will earn a hard living running against the Mountaineer defense, which only gives up 109.9 yards per game. In last year's match-up here in Boone, Appalachian whipped The Citadel 56-14. Scott 'Black David Willis Sports Editor Imagine a sports world where atheletes still played for the love of the game, where money was not the key motivator and the play­ ers did not take a week off for a stubbed toe; while hard to find, one exists here at Appala­ chian, the Mountaineer Club Football Team.

The Mountaineer defense, however did give up 293 yards rushing, but forced eight fumbles and recovered four of them. A win for the Mountaineers Saturday would mean a home field playoff advantage until the National Championship and an out­ right Southern Conference Title. Appalachian has not won the Southern Conference Cham­ pionship since 1991. "We want to be 11-0, because it has never been done," said ASU defensive lineman Mark Ivey. "We approach every game the same way, and it is just the next step." Death,' ASU'sother football team The Club team has been around since 1976, which is amazing, considering the uni­ versity only gives enough money to pay for the officials and the EMT's at the games. The play­ ers pay $75 a year in dues and sponsor several fund raisers during the year, in order to keep the team going. The Mountaineers play in the North Caro­ lina Club Association, which includes North Carolina, NC State, Duke, and Western Caro­ lina. This is the only club football league still in existence in the country. The 41-member team usually plays an eight game schedule and then a two game play­ off system. This year's schedule also consisted of Gallaudet, a division III team from Wash­ ington, D.C. and ECU, who unfortunately folded during the season. The team's five wins came over Duke 3314, State 24-6 and 27-0, WCU 13-7, and a for­ feit from ECU. The three losses came at the hands of Carolina, Gallaudet, and WCU. The Club team, nicknamed "Black Death," won their last game of the season on Nov. 5 against Western Carolina 27-0. The game was played here at Kidd Brewer Stadium and, un­ fortunately for these players, there were only about 100 people in attendance. "To me this is the purest form of the sport," said ASU coach Tudd Dean. "They (the play­ ers) are not out there for scholarships or pres­ tige, they are out there because they want to be." Coach Dean first came to ASU in 1979 and with the exception of a few seasons, has been the Black Death coach ever since. In those few seasons.off, Dean coached pro football in Italy, was a linebacker coach at Lees McRae, and also coached some high school players.

Families and communities need to take responsibility for how these im­ pressionable children react to super­ stars. It's an overused cliche', and it's also an ignored truth. Setting our own examples will do a lot more for kids than discarding Dennis Rodman be­ cause of his tatoos and smelly socks. leath' continued from page 10 6 to 8 p.m., and right now they preparing for the first round of the which are this Saturday |nst WCU.

Kohm, an activist who has taken on the personal challenge of protecting the Alas­ kan Coastal Plain from petroleum expansion, is a native of Todd, N.C. O'l-rentlv a hill has been proposed that would allow the development of the Alas­ kan Coastal Plain. The bill, formally called the Budget Reconciliation Bill, provides for the installation of 100 drill plants, 100 miles of oil pipelines and the hiring of 5,000 workers. Kohm said the development of the Alaskan Coastal Plain would yield about 3.2 billion gallons of oil that would last the United States only six months. According to Kohm, the ecosystem of the coastal plain would be disrupted by the oil development. He said 160,000 caribou would be affected by the development. Also, the cari• bou make up 85 percent of the food supply of the Gwich'in people, a group of Alaskan na­ tives. ny Kohm spoke about Alaskan development.

University Police have no suspects or leads at this time. A report of car vandalism occurred following the football game on Nov. 11 to a parked car on Rivers Street. The car's passen­ ger-side window was broken in, but nothing was stolen from the vehicle. Three counts of larceny and vandal­ ism were reported to University Police during the weekend. The three counts occurred on the first floor ladies' restrooms of Raley Hall. The sanitary napkin machines in the restrooms were broken and approximately $21 in quar­ ters were stolen from the machines. Univer­ sity Police have no leads or suspects at this time. Students are asked to notify either Capt. Larry C. Foster, at the University Police or Watauga Crimestoppers, at 265-4500 re­ garding any information on the car larcenies happening on campus. Kohm said the bill should reach Presi­ dent Bill Clinton by next week. He also said the president was expected to veto the bill and • rescend it back to Congress. Kohm ended his speech by urging people to write their congressmen about the proposed bill. Renee Cagle Staff Writer The Interfratemity Council, the gov­ erning body of Greek government, voted on Nov. 8 to recommend accepting Theta Chi and reject Pi Lambda Phi. Pi Lambda Phi, a historically Jew­ ish fraternity, has been on the Appalachian campus since 1989 and has been trying to become recognized by the IFC since that time. Theta Chi has been at Appalachian for a year and a half and was recognized last week. Pi Lambda Phi, who did not get any votes from IFC, is questioning their decision. Ir>"sh A Sanderson, director of ad­ vertising for Pi Lambda Phi, said IFC ex­ plained they were not accepted because their fraternity's national executives did not come down for the presentation and because the fraternity was going to get chartered anyway. Sanderson said Pi Lambda Phi has 100 percent backing from their nationals, and will get chartered despite not being recog­ nized by IFC, but these are not reasons for the fraternity to be rejected by IFC. "I feel discriminated and persecuted against," said Sanderson. "The decision was neither fair nor called for." He said certain groups on campus have told him that he should not feel honor from wearing his let­ ters. According to Sanderson, Pi Lambda Phi currently has 17 brothers and 10 pledges. He said the fraternity does not believe in numbers. W. Chris Northcutt (senior, Raleigh), president of IFC, said the Council decided to look into expanding with Theta Chi and Pi Lambda Phi because they were both on cam­ pus. Each fraternity was allowed to give a presentation to the Council. "We were going to take one, both or neither," said Northcutt. Northcutt said that both organiza­ tions came in and gave their presentations. The Council discussed all the good and bad points of each presentation. "Theta Chi was really strong on cam­ pus, while the Council didn't feel that Pi Lambda Phi's nationals were strong," he said. Northcutt also said Pi Lambda Phi told IFC they were going to get their charter regardless of their acceptance by IFC. Northcutt said the next step in the process is for him to submit a letter to Dino J. DiBernardi, director of the Center for Stu­ dent Involvment and Leadership, which will explain the Council's decision. DiBernardi has the final say in what fraternity becomes rec­ ognized by IFC. Northcutt said Pi Lambda Phi did not mention their Jewish background during their presentation and therefore, that fact did not affect IFC's decision. "That's totally ridiculous," said Northcutt. "I had no idea their founders were of a religious aspect. It was not mentioned in their presentation or a part of the Council discussion." ' By not being recognized by the IFC, Pi Lambda Phi cannot use school property, such as meeting rooms. They are also not able to hold their Rush on campus. Pi Lambda Phi is planning to appeal the decision of the IFC. Academic policy changes affect students Jay Konstantaras Reporter With the end of the semester less than a month away and spring registration just be­ ginning, students should be made aware of recent changes to the university's academic policy. Five new policies went into effect this semester, each intended to increase the four year graduation rate here at Appalachian. The first of these new policies in­ volves the drop/add policy. Prior to this semes­ ter, students were allowed an infinite number of course drops, even after the five-day drop/ add period at the beginning of each semester. Starting this semester, students are limited to a maximum of four drops during their entire academic careers at Appalachian, i his new policy only applies to courses dropped after the five day drop/add period at the beginning of each semester. In addition, the official drop period during each semester has been extended from five weeks, to nine weeks. Another new change is the minimum GPA required to remain in "good academic standing." Students are now required to have a GPA of 1.5 at the end of the first semester, 1.75 at the end of second, 1.9 after the third, and a 2.0 for each subsequent semester. The fourth change raises the mini­ mum number of hours required for freshmen to achieve sophomore status. Freshmen are now required to attain a total of 30 hours be­ fore they may be classified as sophomores.This is up from a minimum of 28 hours from previ­ ous years. The final addition to the academic policy is a tuition surcharge for any students who attempt more than 140 hours of course work. Students who exceed 140 hours of coursework during their first baccalaureate program become subject to as 25 percent tu­ ition surcharge. This new surcharge applies to all at­ tempted coursework, as well as all credits transferred from other colleges and universi­ ties. Excluded from this new rule are any cred its attained by examination, advanced place ment credits, extension program credits, or an) credits attained during summer semesters ai any University of North Carolina institution. According to Registrar A.B. McLeod, the changes to these policies were made for a number of reasons. "These changes are to encourage stu­ dents to drop a class early, so that students needing those classes can attain them," said McLeod. McLeod also stresses that any classes either retaken to earn a better grade, or courses dropped after the five day drop/add period also count toward the 140 hour course limit. Although the exact figures have yet to be calculated, McLeod does believe that the new policies have made a significant change in the number of drops since last year. "There was a substantial amount of dropping before these policies took effect," said McLeod. "Though we don't have an exact num­ ber as of yet, we expect that there has defi­ nitely been some sort of impact." Book rental offers an economic alternative Amanda Parsons Reporter Appalachian State University is one of only three institutions in the North Caro­ lina system that continues to use textbook rent­ als instead of requiring student purchases. Only 20 colleges in the United States are still using the book rental system. Barbara Montaldi, staff member of the university bookstore, said textbook pur­ chases can cost the individual student between $200-400 per year. Appalachian saves students from making these purchases by taking out only a rental fee from tuition costs. Montaldi said the fee for rentals is currently $49 and only suffered a $1 increase from last year. She said these rentals usually get circulated for about three years, so not only are they saving us money but they are also saving a few trees. "I think itfthe book rental system) is great!" said Tara C. Holt, a sophomore from Burlington. She is a transfer student from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and said she has had to pay as much as $300 a semester for books. Katie A. Gaul from Tipton, Iowa, also said she thinks the system is great. "It saves money in most cases," she said. The rental book system began in the very early days of Appalachian, long before it was even considered a university. After World War II, servicemen returned to the Boone area with very little money but the desire to attend Appalachian's Teachers College. ,an 18 PUbliShed With SUpp0rt fr0m Appalachu,n's Center for Student lnvolvemcnt Freshman Michael J.

Accuracy and Public Service since 1936 Alonzo and modern sport's problem Our opinion... I 'rocesses explained After coming under fire on numerous occasions this semester for different aspects of the newspaper's operation, the staff of The Appalachian would like to take this opportunity to explain how some impor­ tant decisions are made on two issues. First, many question the judgement of our staff to run a staff editorial and the decision-making pro­ cess used in writing that column. To address the former, most well-respected, professional newspa­ pers run staff editorials. Look at The Christian Sci­ ence Monitor, for example. As for the latter, the de­ cision on a topic is made at Editorial Board meet­ ings, held twice weekly. The board members' names are listed beneath the "Our Opinion" column in ev­ ery issue. Voting members of the Board include prin­ cipal editors of each section (photography, news, fea­ tures, sports and editorials), the Chief Copy Editor, Managing Editor and the Editor in Chief. Issues for the editorial are discussed and voted on, and then each voting member works on the research and writ­ ing of the column. This is Our Opinion," and we do not claim it is anything more. The purpose of the student newspa­ per is, like any other, to provide readers with infor­ mation, whether strictly news facts or editorial com­ ment, with which the intelligent reader may make their own choice or opinion concerning an issue. Therefore, our opinion on an issue cannot be argued to sway a reader. Secondly, and most recendy, students have ques­ tioned the process by which we accept advertising. The insert for the pro-life movement drew quite a bit of response from our readers; and some response from those who don't read The Appalachian but do notice the trash left around the bins by those who do pick it up. The same process that is used to discuss and decide upon editorial content is used with ads that may be of a sensitive nature. This particular insert was sent to us and voted upon - again by the voting members of the editorial board - as to whether we would allow it to run in our paper. Some of the considerations discussed before de­ ciding to include the ad were whether it was clearly marked as an ad, which it was. Another was whether the ad assumed an informative or accusative stance, and since it was viewed as the former, we voted and decided to run the ad. Quite frankly, a response was expected and welcomed if it was in the form of an intelligent debate, however, the actual response was quite different. Most readers who chose to comment on the ad accused us of being biased in favor of the pro-life option and argued we should have solicited a prochoice advocacy to run an ad at the same time or try to balance the ad's view through editorial comment. Since the information was in a clearly-marked paid advertisement, the views of those who paid are not necessarily the views of the Editorial Board mem­ bers. And, since it was a paid ad which a group brought to us, as any group can, it is not the respon­ sibility of The Appalachian to actively seek out an opposing group to purchase an ad. The "equal time" rule, which many students seemed to be invoking, applies to political candidates, and even then, those candidates must request such time. The Appalachian is a student-run newspaper which strives to operate on a professional level. We are not funded through student fees, but rather are self-supported through ad sales. As such, we hope students will look at us in a professional light and think about professional decision making processes. The Appalachian is published every Tuesday and Thursday of the academic year with the exception of selected holidays and breaks. The Appalachian welcomes letters to the editor. These should be 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 the second floor of Plemmons Student 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 expressed in The Appalachian are those of in­ dividual columnists and not necessarily those of The Appalachian.

But should they blame Mourning directly, or the system that promotes the greed and self­ ishness so prevalent in today's professional sports? Because rabid fans will buy season tickets, NBA merchandise and whatever consumer products their heroes are endors­ ing, pro sports are now full of young play­ ers whose egos are out of control. Rookies now enter the leagues feeling that they deserve more than veterans who have already proven their ability to win, and they assume no responsibility for be­ ing positive role models. Although he plays a team sport, Alonzo Mourning is simply today's quintessential me-first athlete. In his own words, "It's a business and a cold business, too." Although the Hornets' final offer to Mourning would have paid him an aver­ age of $11.2 million a year for seven years, plus incentives, making him the highest-paid player in the NBA, Mourn­ ing held out for $13 million a year. He even threatened George Shinn, owner of the Hor­ nets, by saying that he would tell every team in the league that he wouldn't play for them if he were traded to them. Mourning eventu­ ally agreed to a trade, but then limited the Hornets' options to either New York or Mi­ ami. When the deal was initially struck with This foolish and lazy tendency to overestimate the importance of entertainers is the root of the problem; it's the fuel that feeds their fire. Talk shows need intelligent topics Daniel Bothun Columnist I used to like talk shows, but now I am sick of them. There are too many new, stupid talk shows on the air. Gabrielle from 90210, Tempest Bledsoe (Vanessa from the Cosby Show), Danny Bonaduce of Partridge Family fame, and the fat woman from Wil­ son Phillips all have their own talk shows. Who's next? Todd Bridges? Bette Midler? We could have a parade of fallen stars of the '70s and '80s all doing their own talk shows. Basically, all of these talk shows are very similar. Most of these shows get a guest who has some outrageous story to tell, like some guy who makes his wife wipe his butt for him. Frankly, I don't want to see a helpless moron on TV who can't even wipe his own butt after taking a dump. These are the kinds of people we need to keep away from the TV Then, the audi­ ence members proceed to yell at this guy and tell his wife to leave him. The guest yells back at the audience some more. Af­ ter a while, the host brings on a person who disapproves of the non-butt wiping guest. These two guests yell at each other a while, and occasionally get into fights. All of a sudden, the host brings out some pop psy­ chologist like Dr. Judy or some other phony who tries to solve all of the guests' deep psychological problems in a matter of 10 or 15 minutes. Also, there are 'the sexy hunk shows, the makeover shows and the celeb­ rity interview shows. These all are stupid, too. Wow! That ugly 600-pound woman who came on the show wearing leopard Miami, Mourning balked, and attempted to renegotiate the players involved. When four of the Hornets' players tried, in a closed meeting, to talk Mourning into staying, he refused vehemently. The trade finally went through, but Miami must now be wonder­ ing whether Mourning's selfish attitude can ever be put aside in the pursuit of a championship title. Mourning seemed to be happy in Char­ lotte, and seemed to have fun playing the game, but he fooled us. This was all about money from the start. Larry Johnson taught Alonzo how to smile and how to control his fiery temper, but he couldn't teach him how to quietly sign an already exorbitant contract offer and play on, instead of stomping his feet skin spandex pants, a Leather bra, a butt ugly '70s blazer, and a wig has suddenly transformed into a beautiful sex goddess. Like I really care about this woman and her pathetic little life. This is the typical talk show lineup for one morning: •Montell Williams will have a show on "Teens and Sex" • Ricki Lake "Lesbian teens and sex" •Sally Jesse "Lesbian teens and their dis­ approving parents" •Carnie "Promiscuous lesbian teens and their disapproving parents" •Danny Bonaduce "Promiscuous lesbian teen hookers and their disapproving par­ ents" •Geraldo "Promiscuous lesbian teen Nazi hookers and their disapproving parents" •Jerry Springer will top them all with "Pro­ miscuous lesbian teen Nazi hookers, their transvestite lovers, and their disapproving parents" In short, I would like to see a return to intelligent talk shows. Shows which are informative discussions, not shouting matches or freak shows. Intelligent talk shows could never get on the air, because they don't produce good ratings. People would rather watch "Promiscuous lesbian teen Nazi hookers, their transvestite lov­ ers, and their disapproving parents," and yell at the screen in disgust than talk about politics or the situation in Bosnia. Even the few intelligent talk shows on the air today discuss the remnants of the OJ Simpson trial, which ended a VERY long time ago. I wish we could forget about this stupid trial and get on with our lives like normal human beings. Yet, some people can't seem to get over the fact that the trial is finished and they continue to watch even more discussions on an already finished trial. In general, talk shows should be so­ phisticated shows that deal with issues in a sensitive, grown-up manner. and whining for more. Sure La is overpaid, too. They all are b Joih never asked for the huge contragiven, he simply impressed Shin work ethic and leadership abiijj*'ing, however, seems to be driven »l ^ by his desire to be the NBA's hi h player, never m i n d that h e is„ 1 player, and certainly not itsmcK.°'"-The saddest part of it all if* that far too many people seem to about the ramifications of the trade than they do about anythjn ^ own lives. This foolish and lazy ?185 to overestimate the importance of ^ ers is the root of the problem; it'6"?* that feeds their fire. And until w tively say "enough is enough" by5 f to pay attention to them, those who tageously cater to our insatiable nJ" heroes and villains will continue toT ish our own sense of self worth, why estimating theirs.

He intently reads aloud, his voice showing a grow­ ing interest in the story which is unraveling before him. If he can just get through 40 pages, his work will be done for the day. Julie sits beside him, listening to every sen­ tence, helping him overcome difficult words as they arise. Her training has begun. To Sam the table is not all that small and 40 pages is indeed an immense reading assign­ ment, because Sam is a first grader, and play time is more fun than homework. This is the atmosphere in the cafeteria of Hardin Park elementary school at 3:30 in the afternoon, and sophomore Julie D. Alexander, an elementary education major from Canton, Ohio, is on her way to becoming a teacher. Young students are scattered about the room fulfilling homework assignments on the tables which they previously ate their lunch. Appalachian students are also there with them, assisting with their work. The Appalachian students are future teach­ ers and the Hardin Park students are a part of "5th Dimension," an after-school tutoring pro­ gram. Dr. Melanie Greene, professor of education at Appalachian, teaches one of the introduc­ tion to teaching courses, which uses "5th Di­ mension" as its option for hands-on experience. "They begin to understand the climate of a school from a new perspective," says Greene. Greene says that this gives students the opportunity to look at school from the other side of the desk. "They use a new lens to focus on the role of a teacher," she says. Discipline is also a major factor in educa- "It is a good trial and error way to learn how to instruct. Discipline is a big part of that.' The elementary students get the opportu­ nity to complete homework assignments with the help of college students. This has received positive responses from parents and afterschool coordinators, says Greene. The objective is to provide real hands-on experiences for those planning to become teachers. It combines theory and practice, link­ ing class instruction with the real world. It helps to clarify career goals. The response from many students is that they are able to think of themselves as teach- stances.

Maybe even peanut butter. Whatever image is conjured at the sound of their name, one thing is for sure; Sticky will stick to you. Sticky has been together for just over two years. Guitarist and singer Chip Taylor jokes that the band formed when he, bassist Dave Alston and drummer Jon Leeds were a tour­ ing Christian rock outfit. The trio played nurs­ ing homes, high school gyms and fish camps, being paid in hush puppies. Sticky became the complete four-piece band it is today when the trio played a drug rehabilitation center and met guitarist/singer John Hawkins. "We turned him on to Jesus and he turned us on to drugs," says Taylor. All joking aside, the four members of Sticky were students at Appalachian and mem­ bers of now-dissolved bands in the Boone pop/ punk scene. Leeds offers the best explanation of the formation of the band. They started jamming and were eventually joined by Hawkins. It's as simple as that. The Sticky sound is characterized by its charismatic rock/punk qualities and a very accessible pop basis. Among their influences are the Beatles, the Replacements and the Vel­ vet Underground, but the sound of these bands is not pervasive in the overall feel of Sticky. "We refuse to (define our style)," said Taylor, leaving the band's audience to make their own determination on how to categorize the band's I JsaJU- wsfci SW • sound. Sticky's style began to take form in mid1994 when they recorded their only album to date, Gagwagon. The album is laden with the up-tempo punk gusto that defined their early songs. Tracks like "Francisco Cabrerra," "Vertigo," "Camera 321" and "Binocular" stand as the top cuts from the album. Of the songs from Gagwagon, only the magnificent "This Discourse" remains a staple of their live shows. This anthemic number whips the audience into a frenzy with its fullthrottle punk dirge and the addictive chorus, "What about/What about/What about, what about me?" More recently, Sticky has been drifting away from the punk trap of full speed ahead rock. Apoppier garage sound permeates their newest songs, all of which greatly overshadow the work on Gagwagon. Most of this new material has been docu­ mented on tape at the Sound of Music studio in Richmond, VA. These songs were produced by David Lowery of the alternative rock band Cracker, who owns and operates the studio. Of this new material, the songs "I'd Id,""You've Got a Weird Way," "Touch Me Not" and "Tighten Up" stand out as sure-fire hits. Sticky has its own take on being a rock band. "This is a whole lot more fun than try­ ing to make money doing something else,"says Hawkins. This band has a strong future ahead of them, and, for their sake, let's hope it comes about. "None of us have any kind of contin­ gency plan," says Taylor. "So, it's kind of like 'Well, s—, we're either gonna be a rock band or be in big trouble.'" Sticky, a top band of the Boone scene, clown around following a show. Their raw blend of rock, punk and pop makes its way to Klondike Cafe Thursday night. (Publicity photo) Eh'zabeth L.

(Photos by Ken Larking) tl Movie Review Steven Mackay Reporter Judging from the ads for "Fair Game" (Rated R), one would assume that the heroes are up-and-coming superstar William Baldwin and supermodel/ official babe Cindy Crawford. Well, not quite. The real heroes are Ms. Crawford's hair and make-up team. All five of them. In the movie, Crawford's character is shot, blown-up twice, nearly drowned 60 times, beaten, smashed in a dozen car wrecks and God knows what else Throughout it all, her hair remains perfect, her face never gets dirty and those nails - not a one of them are chipped. This would all be great except for Qg/gg ' 'fgjf that nagging little thing called realism. I could describe the plot line, but you wouldn't believe me. Thinking back on it, I don't even believe me. The whole enchilada boils down to one long chase involving a bunch of high-tech, ex-KGB goons after a civil case lawyer named Kate McQueen (Cindy Crawford). Protecting her is superslick ho­ micide detective Max Kirkpatrick (William Baldwin). Those are the only details worth getting into. Oh, they're both Irish, just in case you were wondering. This was originally supposed to star Cap­ tain Flabby Lips himself, Sylvester Stallone, but he changed his mind and dropped out. That's right, this movie is so bad even Stallone knew to keep away from it. How's that for a quality test? "Game" is from action master and pro­ ducer Joel Silver, the man who gave usthe'iHard" and "Lethal Weapon" series. Believe; this movie has zero chance of spawning quel. Originally set to open in August, "Crf went through reshoots and more editing bp up the story and characters.

'"tit, Darryl Stave ns Staff Writer Sports Commentary Despite the pouring rain and snow, a few loyal fans remained to see the entire game on Saturday. Appalachian retained the Old Mountain Jug for the 11th consecutive year. (Photo by Robert Parriott) Gridiron Squad 10-0, one to go David Willis Sports Editor Scott Satterfield of Hillsborough con­ nected with Otis Smith of Inman, S.C. for a 49-yard touchdown on the Mountaineers first play from scrimmage Saturday, and Appala­ chian never looked back as it won its 10th straight game, 28-3. Ahead 7-0 with 5:46 left in the first half, Dexter Coakley intercepted Western Carolina's Chad Greene and took the ball 27 yards to set up the Mountaineers' second score of the day. Seven plays later, Damon Scott of Cedar Grove, scored his first touchdown of the game and the Apps went up 14-0. They held that score going into halftime, keeping the Catamounts scoreless. The Mountaineer defense held WCU to just 126 total yards in the half, 71 rushing and 55 passing. Appalachian's offense only gained 175 yards, despite its 14 point lead. Scott needed just 57 yards to break the 1,000 yard mark. Despite only gaining 48 yards in the first half, he would own the second half. Western Carolina came out after the in­ termission and got on the board first, with a 32-yard Ken Hinsley field goal. The score pulled the Catamounts to 14-3, but that would be it for WCU on the day. On Appalachian's next possession, Jamie' Coleman of Laurinburg, S.C. gave the Mountaineer's great field position with a 48yard kickoff return. Four plays later, Scott would go 30 yards around the left side for his second TD of the game and put ASU ahead 213 with 2:36 remaining in the third quarter. After trading possessions, ASU got the ball back at their own 5-yard line with 9:45 remain­ ing in the game. Scott then took over. With only one third down on a 14 play drive, Scott accounted for 84 yards rushing on the drive, including a 3-yard run for his third TD of the day. The drive put the final nail in Western's proverbial coffin. The Mountaineers led 28-3 and left only 1:34 on the game clock. Damon Scott finished with 205 yards on 35 carries and became only the 8th Mountain­ eer ever to rush for more than 1,000 yards in a season. The 200-yard performance also made Scott only the third person to ever have two 200-yard games in their career at ASU. The outstanding performance earned him South­ ern Conference Offensive Player-of-the-Week accolades. "I was very impressed with how hard Damon ran the ball," said ASU Head Coach Jerry Moore. "His second effort on every run typified the kind of running back he is." After the game, Scott gave all the credit to his offensive line and stated, "For me per­ sonally, I have not done it since high school (1,000 yards) and it is a big accomplishment." Defensively for the Mountaineers it was Lady Coakley, Mark Ivey of Collinsville, Va., and Joey Freshman Player-of-the-Week honors. Hall of Athens, Ga. Coakley registered 14 stops 'Joey Hall stepped in for Marvin Hodge on the day, forced two fumbles, and had one (out with injured ribs) and knew he was a interception, giving him the Southern Confer­ key for us versus Western Carolina,"said Coach ence Defensive Player-of-the-Week honors for Moore.

Assistant Sports Editor Women's volleyball finished up their regu­ lar season on the road over the weekend with conference wins over Western Carolina and the University of Tennesse at Chattanooga. The two wins finished the Apps' conference record at 13-1 and gave them the regular season crown. On Saturday, the Mountaineers traveled to Cullowhee to face the Catamounts of WCU. The Lady Apps didn't take long in scoring a 30 victory 15-9, 15-11 and 15-10. Sheri L.

This is the hesitant, almost whispered judgement a man spoke last week after a scor­ ing outburst by the rookie against Charlotte. Stack better than Jordan. After four pro­ fessional games. After games against the Bul­ lets, Kings and Hornets. No. NO. We hear this every year when the new kids come into the league. Ain't it scary how we are now old enough to call first-year players "kids"? Life's passed us by. When you can start watching men and women younger than you excelling in professional sports, you know it's time to finally give up on that major league daydream. Grant Hill is the next Michael. Oh, oh, uh, wait; Jerry Stackhouse is the next Michael. Well, they say this UNC freshman named Vince Carter is farther along in his game than all of them at this point in his life .... Stackhouse might very well be the one to challenge Jordan's athleticism and leadership. It's going to take more than a week to watch this tree bear fruit, though. Truthfully, Stack is no closer to being the Air Apparent's heir ap­ parent than anyone in the league. If Stackhouse is that good, what do we say about Penny? Or Pippen? Guess they've reached their full potential already. Potential itself is a funny thing. No one can really ever tell who will take his talent to the greatest heights. Everyone knows Jordan wasn't even the first pick out of college. Then there's Nick Van Exel, Latrell Sprewell, Cliff Robinson and Toni Kukoc, all of whom were not exactly raw meat for those drooling scouts at draft time. On the other side, top-10 picks Mark Ma­ con, Pervis Ellison, Stacey King and Bo Kimble never got dry behind the ears before the league saw the truth. The Sixers and Bulls have four dates this year, the first two on Jan. 13 and 16. By the time these aerial dogfights roll around, it'll probably be obvious that Stackhouse does have the potential to take basketball to another level (that's Jordan's level). But it's time that will show all, not a week or a month or even an Here we go again.

Sorrells of Hendersonville led in digs with 12, and Erica J. Bahry of Etobicoke, Ontario recorded four aces. On Sunday the team journeyed to Chat­ tanooga to take on UT-C. This time the Moun­ taineers also won 3-0, this time by scores of 15-7,15-8 and 15-8. The team was again led in kills by Leverette with 10. Kathy E.

The tournament will be hosted by Davidson this weekend. The Lady Spikers are now 23-10 on the year. Grapplers' season begins with Black and Gold Special to The Appalachian Sports Information Department Junior heavyweight Eddy Clark scored a 15-0 major decision over freshman Steve Swanton Thursday night, and the black team used a one-point riding time advantage to de­ feat the gold team, 22-21, in Appalachian's annual Black and Gold match in Varsity Gym. "Ithought it was a pretty good match," said Mountaineer Head Coach Paul Mance. "There was a little bit of hesitation. This was the first college match for some of these kids. They were a little nervous." The black team was led by senior Jason Hooker and freshman Matthew Bentley, both of whom scored second-period pins. Sophomore Tony Hairston and freshman Jason Brown won by decision for the black team. Not to be out-done, senior Seth Myerson and sophomore Derek Strobel recorded pins for the gold team. "I was a little surprised to see so many pins in the higher weights," said Mance. "I expected to see a couple, but there were four in a row at the end." Appalachian got a look at the future as freshmen Martell Armstrong, John Mance, and • rW Danny Dalton scored decisions 'n matches for the gold team. Although happy with the way tNjJ; went, Mance noted how tired the vf seemed to be.

Women's basketball coming soon November 9, 1995 HJ, ——————— Appalachian State University, Boone, North Carolina, 28608 I ' — Students found spray painting hate messages - 7 ~ j~~ tends Cagle jtaff Writer Four individuals were observed paintlg derogatory statements about homosexujs in the Rivers Street tunnels Halloween light. Security officers took their names and umed them over to the office of student deelopment. The tunnels were first painted with ate messages and death threats Oct. 17, which allowed National Coming Out Day. There nere no suspects or arrests made for the first ncident. The tunnels were painted a second ime with religious scripture against homoexuality on Halloween night. According to Dr. Gregory S. Blimling, ice chancellor of student development, Aplalachian does have two policies that deal with ate crimes. Both policies can be found in the code of student conduct, wffl^tudents receive in the mail. One policy addresses the issue of racial harassment. The second policy deals with peer harassment. Peer harassment is unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or physi­ cal conduct of a sexual nature when such con­ duct has the effect of unreasonably interfer­ ing with a student's academic performance or full enjoyment of university programs or ser­ vices, has the effect of emphasizing sexuality, sexual identity, or sexual orientation in a man­ ner offensive to a reasonable person, or that has the effect of creating an intimidating, hos­ tile, or offensive environment inside or out­ side the classroom. According to Blimling, the individu­ als can not be charged with a crime because it is their right to object to certain life-styles and are protected under free speech, but verbal threats go past this rule. "They do have the right of free ex­ pression, but so does the university," said Blimling. He said that he will be talking to the four individuals before the end of the week.

Smith, council chair, said the resolution came as the result of an infor­ mational presentation given by Dr. Melissa Barth at the Oct. 31 meeting of the Arts and Sciences Council. Barth, director of Women's Concerns, presented pictures and information on the anti-gay and -lesbian graffiti painted on the walls of the Rivers Street tunnels on Oct. 17 and on hate speech on campus in general. Barth said her presentation dealt with the "tun­ nel painting and homophobia and what that kind of language implies to gays and lesbians." "The presentation talked about accep­ tance, as opposed to tolerance," said Barth. Barth said the idea of acceptance is preferred to tolerance because it means that people ac­ knowledge others as worthwhile human be­ ings rather than simply tolerating their exist­ ence. Smith said the resolution was never actually passed at the Arts and Sciences coun­ cil meeting, since it was introduced and dis­ cussed after the end of the meeting. Dr. Karl C. Mamola, chairperson of the physics and astronomy department, and Dr. Eugene L. Miller, Jr., acting assistant dean of the college of arts and sciences, worked on see Chairs Page 3 Greeks, architects discuss housing feasibility Tiffany Lohman News Editor Approximately 100 Greek students voiced their concerns about sm^ll-group hous­ ing Tuesday night to representatives from the architectural firms doing the feasibility study about the facility. In September, the Board of Trustees approved the hire of the firms to look into the construction of a housing facility exclusively for Greek organizations and other organiza­ tions which would be interested. The prospective site is in the Green­ wood parking lot across from Appalachian Heights Apartments, and the construction would be funded through a bond. The bond would be repaid by student housing fees and individual group funding. Jane C. Wright, architect and princi­ pal with Hanbury, Evans, Newill, Vlattas of Norfolk, Va., said they have done focus groups, a survey, discussion groups and met with stu­ dent organizations for the purpose of gather­ ing information to be considered in the feasi­ bility study. "Two of the biggest concerns that we have heard is the need for a room for large functions and the need to include as many Greek organizations as possible," said Wright. She said they have met with many other groups as well as small groups and minority organi­ zations. Wright also said they met with the Student Government Association to discuss non-Greek concerns about the small group housing. She said the issues of diversity and integration of non-Greek students were dis­ cussed. Wright said the facility would include group space that would be accessible to ev­ eryone. She also said the architects are look­ ing in to including a green space that would also provide accessible community space. i H Alumna to participate in Centennial Celebration Heidi Dull Reporter Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski says he would like 96-year-old Satie Hunt Broyhill to be the honorary chairperson of Appalachian's Centennial Celebration in 1999. Broyhill was born July 13, 1899 in Pennsylvania to Hartley and Nellie Hunt, just six months after the univer­ sity officially opened its doors. Broyhill moved with her family to Lenoir when she was 13 years old. At the age of 15, she entered Appalachian Training School. Broyhill in 1988 When Broyhill arrived in Boone there were no paved roads, and it took her and her father two days to cross the mountains from Lenoir to Boone. Broyhill said Appalachian is very dif- ferent today from the way it used to be. She said males and females attended classes to­ gether, but had to sit on opposite sides of the classroom. Men and women were separated outside of class as well, with a male dorm and a female dorm. Broyhill said that one day a year a field day was held where men and women were allowed to mingle. On field day they were given a rake and had to rake leaves. When she first arrived at Appalachian there was no electricity. She said they used oil lamps and coal heat. Broyhill remembers when White Hall was constructed and how excited everyone was about the new modern conve­ nience, electric lights and steam heat. It was at Appalachian where Broyhill met her husband, James Edgar Broyhill, founder of Broyhill Furniture Industries. The Broyhills were active supporters of Appalachian, and in 1983 the Broyhill Mu­ sic Center was dedicated in Satie's honor. Also, when Appalachian celebrated its 90th anniver­ sary, Broyhill celebrated her 90th birthday by attending a concert as part of the festivities. see Broyhill Page 3 Concealed weapons will soon be a reality in Boone John Lane Managing Editor 8-5 :ws The Rivers Street tunnels were first vandalized on Oct. 17. (file photo) Volume 70, Number 18 North Carolina will be adopting an ordinance on Dec. 1,1995 which will allow citi­ zens to carry concealed weapons. The legis­ lation outlines an application process and a certified course, after the completion of which individuals may obtain a license to carry a con­ cealed weapon. Watauga County Sheriff Red Lyons said at a press conference on Monday that the concealed weapons permits as outlined bystate law did not allow anyone to carry a weapon on campus or any other educational property. The ordinance also prohibits the carrying of a concealed weapon on any federal or state prop­ erty. "I don't think the legislation was well thought out," said Dr. Gregory S. Blimling, vice chancellor of student development. He did not feel the new ordinance would cause an in­ crease in campus crime due to state law and campus rules which deal with weapons. At Appalachian State University, the Code of Student Conduct says that "possession on educational property of a gun, rifle, pistol, or other firearm" could result in suspension or expulsion. Under the regulations of the ordi­ nance, specific counties can prohibit concealed weapons from county owned buildings, but an ordinance doing so must be passed in that county. A discussion of the concealed weap­ ons permits is on the agenda of the county commissioners for the purpose of discussing Watauga County's own ordinance, but a date for the meeting has not been set. According to the Watauga County Sheriffs Office, applicants must have com­ pleted a certified course on gun safety, pay a $90 nonrefundable application fee and fill out an application which includes a fingerprint check to be considered for a license. The fin­ gerprint check will be done during a minimum 90 day background check waiting period. The State Bureau of Investigation estimated that 700,000 fingerprint cards, re­ quired for applicants, would be submitted over the next year. Last year, only 22,000 finger­ print cards were processed for all noncriminal acts. Even with a permit you may not carry a concealed weapon in the following areas: 1. Any law enforcement or correctional facility 2. Any space occupied by state or federal employees 3. A financial institution 4. Any premises where the carrying of a concealed handgun is prohibited by the posting of a statement by the controller of the premises 5. Educational property 6. Areas of assemblies, parades, funerals, or demonstrations 7. Places where alcoholic beverages are sold and consumed 8. State occupied property 9. Any state or federal courthouse 10. In any area prohibited by federal law 11. Any local government building if local government has adopted an ordinance and posted signs prohibiting the carrying of concealed weapons.

Be aware of concealed weapons laws I ! •'ifi As of Dec. 1,1995, any citizen in the state of North Carolina can apply for a permit to carry a concealed weapon. Though not all of these will be granted due to a background check of all applicants as stated in the ordinance, approximately 650,000 applications are expected within the first year of availability. The editorial board of The Appalachian believes this is bad legislation, however, only limited action can be taken to curb the power it now provides. The ordinance states that concealed weapons, even with a permit, cannot be carried on to state or federal prop­ erty such as courthouses or college campuses. Fur­ ther, it states that concealed weapons cannot be taken into places of business which serve alcohol, whether that be a bar or a grocery store. The ordinance does not, however, prohibit car­ rying concealed weapons into county buildings or private, non-alcoholic places of business. Private businesses can simply put up a sign stating "no con­ cealed weapons allowed" to lawfully deter those with weapons from entering, but individual counties must pass their own ordinance to prohibit concealed weap­ ons in county buildings. The Watauga County Commissioner's Office is planning to have an open meeting pertaining to a county ordinance, but has not announced a date. We would like to encourage everyone in the community of Boone, including students, to attend and demand such an ordinance when the meeting is held. Violence and the threat thereof begets itself. Al­ lowing for concealed weapons is simply perpetuat­ ing this idea, and prohibiting concealed weapons in as many places as possible is the best way left to keep the number of concealed weapons carried to a mini­ mum. If people can not carry weapons with them wherever they go, maybe they will simply leave them at home... or better still, never apply to obtain a per­ mit. One main argument people give for wanting to carry a weapon, whether concealed or not, is for per­ sonal protection. This can be seen as a threat to vio­ lence as well, and as your mom always said, two wrongs don't make a right. Possibly, if no one car­ ried a concealed weapon for self-protection, no one would need or want to carry one at all. Secondly, we do not take this stand in opposi­ tion to the Second Amendment which guaranteed the right to bear arms to our frontier predecessors, but a concealed handgun is not what our founders had in mind. The Second Amendment was to en­ sure the right of the citizens of America to defend their homes in times of war. Our streets, especially in Boone, have not yet even remotely been threat­ ened by this state. We sincerely hope that the passing of this ordi­ nance will not affect the relative safety Boone seems to enjoy, but the possibility for violence is now greatly more apparent. And even though Appalachian State University has a policy to expel students carrying weapons on campus, and by state and federal law those students can be prosecuted, more students will be carrying guns. How will it reflect on Appalachian after the first student dies? As students in Boone, we have the right to try all lawful means to stop the proliferation of concealed weapons in Watauga county. We urge you to speak out in favor of an ordinance banning concealed weap­ ons in county buildings. You can't regulate hate Li o 1f a Steven Mackay Columnist The tunnel graffiti incidents - two in one week - have sparked a huge amount of controversy on campus. The majority of students are rightfully angry that the anti-gay messages ("God hates fags" and "B-Dead" are two ex­ amples) are absolutely wrong. Indeed, the people who painted the tunnels are mis­ guided (I refuse to use the term "close-minded," because anyone who claims to be "open-minded" and calls others "close-minded" is close-minded himself) to say the least. However, the bulk of people on this campus who are damning the tunnel painters are also misguided. The mes­ sages written in the tunnel are being touted as "hate crimes" that ought to be vanquished and dealt with to the fullest extent of the law. According to The Student Handbook, a hate crime is any offense "which shows evidence of preju­ dice based on race, religion, sexual orientation, or ethnicity." This law is wrong. To hate is not a crime. You can't legislate feelings or emotions, even if they are deemed wrong by the majority of society. What a person holds inside their heart and mm^ <"« "f their choice, and therefore it should be private and treated with respect. You simply can not regulate hate, just as one can not regulate love or pity. Hate has been around as long as love has and will probably be with us until the end of the world. It's sad and sometimes unfair, but hey - isn't life? Personally, I see no difference in who the victim of a death threat is. Sending a letter or painting a wall that calls for someone or a group of people to be killed is wrong. No doubt about it, such malarkey falls out of the First Amendment's protective shadow. It doesn't matter who the target is, whether it be a group of people - gays, whites, blacks, Ross Perot supporters, albinos or Michael Bolton fans - or an individual - the professor who hates you, the guy who stole your CD player - they're all wrong and ille­ gal. We can't classify and delegate similar crimes into cer­ tain categories of importance or prominence. If somebody kills another person it should be called murder, not "hate murder" or whatever the politically correct term is - the act is wrong. The other day, I saw a bumper sticker that read "HEART ATTACKS: God's way of getting revenge against people who eat His animal friends." Now, isn't that hid­ eously warped viewpoint a hate crime? It's targeting poor, innocent meat eaters, like myself. When are the cops go­ ing to hunt down the dork who had this sticker on her car bumper?

God judges, not people Terri Butter Columnist Recently, an anti-homosexual group painted the Riv­ ers Street tunnel for the second time in three weeks with Bible verses and promises that homosexuals will not be accepted by God and sent to hell because of their chosen lifestyle. But who's right is it to say what lifestyle is correct and acceptable, especially when speaking for the Lord? If there is a God who will hold us in judgement when our life on earth is completed, would He not concentrate on the good done during our lifetime instead of whether a male or female was our chosen companion? Technically according to the Bible, those who deco­ rated the tunnel with the messages condemning homo­ sexuality are sinners just as easily. Leviticus 19:16-18 clearly states, "You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself ... ." and that "You shall pallet ppi ftec die at not go up and down as a slanderer among youi™ lis) e and you shall not stand forth against the life ofvoiir»2 da> bor...." *1!

They may, in fact, take points off the final grade of a student every time a student misses a class without an excuse deemed good enough by that instructor. This policy fails to recognize a student's need to learn to be responsible on their own. Also, it allows instructors to teach a boring class and not have to worryabout whether they will have an audience. University students should be mature enough to know that they will learn more, and as a result get a better grade, The Appalachian is published every Tuesday and Thursday if they attend class meetings.

Maybe requiring attendance is just a way for faculty Angela Brady to ensure students will show up to listen to their often boring lectures. An attendance policy like Appalachian's Editor-in-Chief basically gives instructors a license to be boring. If stu­ dents were interested in the class, or lectures, they would John lane most likely attend.

Most of what was written in the runnel may consti­ tute a crime, for instance the statements that literally said to "kill fags." On the other hand, the rest of the graffiti is just opinion, undoubtedly warped, but opinion nonethe­ less. A few weeks go the tunnels read "Gay is good" and "Come out." I don't agree with such stuff, but the problem is mine and not theirs. So, I kept my wee mind shut. The anti-gay graffiti also irritated me, more than the pro-gay graffiti, but most of it is irrelevant. If anything, the people who did this are just looking for attention - articles writ­ ten about them just like this one - and nothing more. Another off-base idea is the "speak out" campaign. On flyers and ads plastered all over campus and in "The Appalachian," many people are advocating others to "speak out against hate crimes" and "speak out against intoler­ ance." Nice thought, but these people are bordering on becoming the people they are damning. There is nothing wrong with talking to people or try­ ing to "educate" them, but this campaign is like beating the "perpetrators" with rolled-up magazines and kicking them off campus. Such acts only fuel the fire of hate and mistrust. were lifted. Let's put it into purely economic terms. If everyone was required, by law, to buy a Sony tape-recorder, what motivation would Sony have to make their tape recorders better? Wouldn't they just use the same old tape-recorder year after year?

Is this act of hate becomming a regular event on this campus? They are calling themselves "SAFE" (Stu­ dents Against Fags Existence). Amongst the several biblical refer­ ences and death threats, I found a rather interesting question spraypainted on the wall - "Homos, what would your mama say?" Well, I'll tell you.

On Nov. 16, participants will sleep out on the mall, regardless of the weather, in an effort to raise money for the homeless. This touches a special place in my heart because I am currently working my way out of a homeless situation. To look at me one would never think that I hoard food because 1 fear being voraciously hungry again. Al­ most everyday, in some form, I assess what my condition was in 1992, where I am today, and how much further it appears I have to go until I can support myself comfortably. I have mixed Animals do have rights To the Editor: This is a response to Mike Cleaves "Animals don't have rights" article which appeared in the Oct. 31st edi­ tion of The Appalachian. It became clear to me that you saw the World Farm Animal Day booth and mistak­ enly took us for radical, idealistic, cowkissing hippies. However, in your quest to negatively stereotype a cause, it is evident that your opinions were formed without even stopping by our booth. Consequently, you missed our point entirely. I was sorry to hear about your mother* s traumatic experience of hav­ ing to eat her pet chicken, but 1 do not agree with your point that experiences such as these are the basis for the ani­ mal rights movement. We are not preaching that you shouldn't eat ani­ mals because they are cute, what we are actually saying is that factory farm­ ing is big business and as consumers of agri-products there are certain is­ sues you ought to be aware of. Be­ cause they house such large quantities of livestock in such small quarters, many of which are sickly, the animals are injected with high concentrations of antibiotics and hormones. When these animals are milked or slaugh­ emotions about the arrival of the cold weather. Although fall and winter have always been my two favorite sea­ sons, after experiencing a couple of years of cold weather without heat, I have grown to fear the arrival of cold weather almost more than I welcome it. Homelessness is a circumstance that can strike anyone regardless of gender, race, age, or level of educa­ tion. At the time of my homelessness, I was educated, with 10 years job ex­ perience, ambitious, and a hard worker. Some of the stereotypes that homeiessness carries with it are that the people direcdy affected by the con­ dition are: lazy, crazy, and/or hopeless. None of which are true for a majority of the individuals and families that are living out on the streets, housed in shelters, or crammed in a tiny room in a boarding house. There are people in Watauga County tonight who, when the tem­ peratures are forecasted to drop into the teens, are crying out loud from the pain of their reality, in an attempt to remain sane. I know, I have been there. During the winter, on many afternoons when I had nowhere to go, 1 would stand on the south side of buildings to get warm. At night, I would go to sleep fully clothed, with boots, a hat, and gloves. By reading this article, students who are interested in participating will know what is going on and will know what to do if a student approaches them and asks for a sponsor. Please tered for meat, those hormones, anti­ biotics, and other drugs are passed on to you. As you build a tolerance to such drugs your chances of recover­ ing from illness decreases. Basically, better health and conditions for these animals means better health for those that consume them. Our aim, through our informa­ tional booth, was not only to inform people about the fact that these ani­ mals are mistreated and slaughtered inhumanely but also to provide infor­ mation to avid meat eaters, some of whom chose to inquire about where they can purchase free-range organic beef. You contend that "the basic prob­ lem with the animal rights movement is that it. wants animals to have rights without having any responsibilities." Infants and small children have no responsibilities but there is no doubt that they posses rights in this world. I am truly concerned about one whose value system does not even rec­ ognize the rights of other living beings.

Unfortunately for my parents and myself, the game was ruined by a certain group of people. When we arrived 50 minutes be­ fore game time, I immediately noticed several people perched in spots around the general admission section. As usual. During the first part of the game a trend began where everybody in front of our row was standing on the metal seats. I personally don't mind standing during a football game, but there are others who are unable to stand for long periods of time. I felt that the students and organizations in front of us were quite rude and incon­ siderate of the people behind them. Eventually, during the third quarter enough people had left that the rest began to sit down. Please, I implore people and or­ ganizations that sit in the front rows to stop standing on the bleachers. These wonderful metal rows are made for sitting not standing!! I wish the university would patrol the stands and make people sit down. All of these actions ruin the game for a large percentage of the fans. Please be considerate and cheer on the Moun­ taineers as they work toward winning a national championship, but keep in mind the feelings of other fans. Max D. Scroggs Jr. ASU Box 5866 It CJi ncly!

We, as college students living in Boone, North Carolina, are living a sheltered life. So 1 guess its now time that I tell you why I am saying all of this. The other night I was waiting for my boyfriend to pick me up after class around 8 o'clock. As I was wait­ ing, I heard some rustling noises and didn't think anything about it. There were some other people standing nearby so I felt pretty safe. After an­ other few minutes 1 noticed the rus­ tling noises again. I looked around and I was standing near a trash dumpster, but still it didn't really hit me. Again, 1 stood waiting for my ride and again I noticed the noises. Well, my curiosity was now getting the bet­ ter of me and so I walked closer to the dumpster. When I looked inside 1 saw a light moving around. As you may have al­ ready guessed there was a man in there, with his flashlight, searching participate. Better yet, grab a pledge sheet and join us out on the mall for the sleep out! If each student were to pledge only $2, ASU could donate over $24,000 to the local agencies that serve the homeless. (The Hunger Coa­ lition, OASIS, Hospitality House, and Habitat for Humanity) If we are able to get our friends and families to par­ ticipate $24,000 could easily become $48,000, or even more. The end re­ sult would be phenomenal. Remember, if you have $10 in your pocket, you have 10 times more wealth than the majority of homeless people in America. Susan E.

It really made me stop and think how blinded we can become. We look around Boone and see the familiar, almost famous, faces of the one or two homeless on King Street. Yet, we never stop to think that there is a real problem that lies beyond the man selling stories. I guess it just re­ ally shocked me when I realized a man was in the trash dumpster and I got to thinking how little we see sometimes as we are busy walking to and from classes. I don't know what the answer is or what we should be doing, but I do know that we should start paying at­ tention to what is out there in the "real" world. Because, when we are out there, those problems will be ours. Alison E. Foster ASU Box 15422 Parking problems i .. Tb the Editor: As if $100 wasn't enough to pay to park in a gravel lot. Apparently ASU police do not have enough cars, but at the rate the parking rates and traffic fines are going, they will have an en­ tire fleet before long. I considered my­ self one of the lucky ones. I graduate in December, so for my parking sticker in Stadium I only had to pay $65. I'm not sure how $65 is one half of $100, but that is another issue. On several occasions, there are simply no parking spaces left in sta­ dium - or any of its surrounding "sublots" - which we aren't allowed to park in anyway. Upon calling the traffic of­ fice, I was informed that the overflow area was half a mile back down the road at the non-existent Stansberry lot. As if any of us has the time to drive to school only to find we have to walk almost a mile to class. Thus we are forced to find a place to put our cars. I have parked on nu­ merous occasions on River St., Driv­ ing Range, and various 20 minute parking spaces, always to discover that I am penalized for the overbooking of Stadium Lot. I am, of course, talking about the much dreaded parking ticket. The parking ticket is just another example of the money making schemes of ASU police. Prices were nearly doubled from last year, further proving that safety is no longer the pri­ mary concern of ASU police. Until they can provide sensible parking, and dis­ continue this ludicrous overbooking of the parking lots, they have NO right to give us tickets for trying to get to class on time. Let's start catching attackers of women, and those who vandalize our campus, and quit worrying about a student who simply parks where they can, in order to attend class. Heath L.

"They are a good way to get together as friends and have fun." Intramural sports do more than let you exercise and compete. "Playing intramural vol­ leyball gives me a chance to meet people and relax," says freshman Charlotte native Heather R. Quinn. Even students who are not athletically in­ clined enjoy participating in intramurals. Sophomore Robert T. Busch, from Pontevedra Beach, says "Intramural soccer gives me a chance to play a sport I'm not very good at." The intramural department has a budget of $270,000, which is provided by the student activity fee. This budget pays the in­ tramural employees, who for the most part are students. The department hires officials, scor­ ers/timekeepers, office assistants and super­ visors, all of which are open to students. "I officiate to earn money and learn about sports, plus it's an on-campus job so it is easy to get to," says sophomore Jason R Rector from Knoxville, Tenn.

Carolyn M. Mercurio of Boone says, "I feel it is important to get together and share openly, because you gain inspiration from other writers." New students, older students, and even residents of Boone participate in the readings. Mercurio, who has been reading for the past three years, says, "I read because this is what I want to do with my life. I think poetry serves personal purposes for a lot of people. For me, because I spend a lot of time doing it, it's nice to share." Rafael Keren agrees with Mercurio. "People read because they want other people to listen to their stuff," says Keren. Tillman thinks it's nice to have people in the audience who will not be reading their own poetry. "They are listening for your poetry rather than being here to read their own,"says Tillman. The audience provides the readers with a sense of self-fulfillment. A new reader, Eugene L. Thompson, says, "It is really nice when the audience claps for you. It is an adrenaline rush." Mercurio says a responsive and honest audience is always best. "If I read something bad, then I want to know if it is bad." Different personalities come together and share different views. Keren says, "When I read my poetry, it unites people because I am reading true statements that others can find symbolism in." Freshman Dave Kaminsky considers reading his poetry a form of performance art. "I don't like to keep my poetry to myself," says Kaminski. It takes a great deal of strength to get up in front of a group of familiar faces and wait for a reaction. Hester says, "I really like it when people tell me they like what I have read, but as long as they are able to react to it, I think it is good." Jason E. Levi says, "I read to give our generation a voice. By putting all of my emotions into what I read, at times, I feel shaky. I like to think I can give will-power for those lis­ tening." The atmosphere at beansTalk is very accepting and the people are non-judg­ mental, so it is a great place for "in the closet" poets to share their ideas. • In "Get Shorty" (Rated R), gangsters go head to head with some really nasty folks Hollywood moguls. When the two worlds of crime and movies collide, they start a rash of shootings, bone snappings, money swaps, ego wars, blackmailings, script stealing, doublecrossing, and so much more. "Shorty" follows a mob-employed loan shark named Chili Palmer (John Travolta), as he makes his way from Miami to Las Vegas to the land of make believe. He starts out look­ ing for a weasel who faked his own death, but owes the mob money and is hiding out in Ve­ gas. Once Chili takes care of the faker, as a favor to a casino buddy, he sets his sights on a trash-movie maker named Harry Zimm (Gene Hackman). Zimm is behind on his gambling debts and shows no sign of wanting to catch up. Once he arrives in L. A., Chili sees how the Hollywood game is played and decides he wants in. So, he pitches a movie script idea to his new buddy, Zimm, and starts out on his dream job - movie producer. The great movie idea is none other than Chili's bizarre life and job. The dream job quickly goes sour. Chili finds himself dealing with his vengeful and hilariously disfigured mob boss (Dennis Fa­ rina), a local drug kingpin (Delroy Lindo) who also has movies on his mind, a big time movie star named Martin Weir (Danny DeVito) with an out of control God complex, plus a duffel bag full of drug money in an airport locker. Then there's the girl, a no talent actress (Rene Russo) who was married to Weir, is now doing the horizontal hokey-pokey with Zimm, but also likes Chili. Got that? The results are a the perfect idea for a movie, which this is. The actual full-fledged story, adopted from a novel by Elmore Leonard, is too complicated and full of surprises to explain totally here. Which is a treat. "Shorty" is the best burst of fresh air to flow out of Hollywood since "Pulp Fiction." Better yet, there's a ton of delicious black humor and enough skewering of Holly- See Business page 8 CD Review Amy's not Phair Sara LeWinter Reporter If you're in the mood for some raw and powerful Liz Phair, don't settle for Amy Arena. She attempts to mimic Liz Phair's style of bru­ tal honesty, but produces only an immature image of a blunt and offensive young woman. Each song on her self-titled debut album de­ stroys a human being's dignity through a com­ bination of belittling lyrics and disconnected digital mixes. Her songs are not personal cre­ ative expressions. They are worthless imita­ tions that seem to be primarily produced to bring attention to this con artist. The music itself does exemplify a unique blend of melodies. A strange pop sound can be heard in particular parts of each song, but Amy Arena continues to thrive to please the See Phair page 8 �The Appalachian oKl — Business continued from page 7 wood politics to put a smile on any­ body, even a crass movie critic like myself. Under the direction of Barry Sonnenfeld ("The Addams Family"), the wackiness and nutty fun of the script is easy to take. Travolta is smoo-ooth as Chili Palmer. His slick enforcer rarely re­ sorts to violence, instead using his penetrating eyes and the phrase, "LOOK at me," to scare his prey into submission. After "Pulp," there can be no doubt that the former disco god is back on top and here to stay. The only gripe is the mis-casting of DeVito, the "Shorty" in the title. He's a great actor and does a wonder­ ful job, but let's face it: he just doesn't have the knack to even pretend to be Hollywood's greatest asset. In L. A., beauty rules, hence the reason why dips like Keanu Reeves aren't working the late shift at Denny's ... yet. Other than that, "Get Shorty" stands tall. Grade: A- continued from page 7 post-modern audience with a rough, feminine tone. She conveys to her lis­ teners that "sometimes the question is worth more than the answer," in her song entitled "Perverts." The remain­ ing lyrics of this song are intangible though, because Amy Arena is scream­ ing her words in a disorganized man­ ner. A piano melody is mixed with an unusual rap beat to produce the song "Addicted To Dirt." In order to be successful, this art­ ist feels as though she must rely on profundity and profanity to gain popu­ larity. One example of this can be found in a song describing human ex­ crement. By crossing this distasteful and non-effective boundary of oppo­ sition, Amy Arena eliminates her chances of becoming a dance diva. The cover of her album is a nude shot of herself, posing glamorously in Combine your foreign language skills with a graduate business degree for exciting career opportunities! between the stripes of the American flag. Some of the songs are titled, "Ex­ cuse Me," "Make Love To Myself," "Get To Know Me," and "Proud To Be A Woman.". Surprisingly, the song "Excuse Me," is excellent. In this song, the art­ ist says that she is "a product of the '90s, a woman of the '90s, and not a victim." She has "risen above the gar­ bage heap she grew up in." She says, "Excuse me if I am an unwed mother, stink of Chanel #5, and loathe caviar." Unfortunately, most of her other songs are only shocking and rude assump­ tions about trivial aspects of life. Her themes are also redundant. A listener can only presume one thing about Amy Arena. She is "not an ordinary girl or an average girl," and definitely "not like the girl next door."

I have come to the top spot. The Mountaineers are looking realize that stats and records don't have much for their first conference title since 1991 and a bearing on Appalachian/Western Carolina win on Saturday would do just that. games." "I expect this game to be a tough, hardfought, all-out game, just like the last six that I have been a part of prior to this one," said ASU Head Coach Jerry Moore. "Western did have the week off last Saturday to get some players healthy and prepare, and we are com­ ing off a road game that was decided in the last minute and a half." This season, Appalachian is off to its best start ever at 9-0. Offensively for the Moun­ taineers, Damon Scott, of Cedar Grove, has 943 yards on the ground, 57 shy of becoming ASU's ' 10th player to ever rush for 1,000 yards in a season. Defensively, Dexter Coakley, of Mt. Pleasant, S.C., has already tallied 121 tackles on the year, which puts him at the top of the Southern Conference. m Mountaineers making histor ) David Willis Sports Editor Sports Commentary Appalachian football is off to its best start in its 67-year history, and although it may still be a little premature, you can feel the excitement growing and speculation starting to mount. With a win this Saturday against West­ ern Carolina, the Mountaineers would all but be handed the Southern Conference trophy and assured of a home game in the first round of the NCAA I-AA playoffs. The first round games will be held on Saturday, Nov. 25 and would mark the first time a playoff game has been played in Boone since 1987. With Appalachian's current number two national ranldng, we would host playoff games until the National Championship in Hunting­ ton, W.Va. on Dec. 16. If this happens, every person who is associated with this university should be beating down the door of the ticket office to make sure they can be there. With that thought comes a few more ideas. The lack of actual fan support on this cam­ pus is somewhat appalling. I have never been to another stadium where the home team's fans were wearing apparel of other teams. You do not see fans at North Carolina or Duke with Appalachian apparel on, so why on earth do Appalachian fans adorn other universities' clothing? I would be willing to bet that every student on this campus owns at least one piece of Appalachian clothing. Try wearing it. Second, out of those fans who actually do attend the games, about half 0fv even know what's going on. Up°U,di: the stadium after our last home S ally heard a student comment win?"

Appalachian's men, ranked third in the conference entering the tournament, fell 6-4 in overtime to sixth ranked Georgia Southern. The team finished the season 9-10 overall and 4-2 in the Southern Conference. Two Moun­ taineers, Kevin Turner and Mark Hemphill, made the 1995 All-Conference Team. The Lady Apps, ranked fourth, fell to first ranked Furman 4-1 in the opening round. The team finished its second season with a 3-16-1 overall record and winless in the Southern Conference. Despite their record, the Moun­ taineers made huge strides from last season, led by leading scorer Brooke Satterfield, AllConference Team member Beth Erickson, and goalie Kelly Guinn, who tallied 129 saves on the year. Davidson took both titles, as the Lady Wildcats and the men's team won the South­ ern Conference Titles on their home field. Appalachian looks to utilize the off-season to continue to improve and become more competitve next year. ViM Shawn Elliot (91) and the Mountaineer defense, shown here against Georgia Southern, will pressure the Catamount quarterback Chad Greene on Saturday. Appalachian came from behind in the fourth quarter to beat Western 12-7 last year.

(File photo) Talented newcomers; eight returning players, including seniors Sh­ annon Spencer and Karolina Karlqvist; a preseason number-one ranking. It adds up to a renewed hunger for the Appalachian State women's basketball team as the 1995-'96 campaign begins. Coming off a 19-9 season in which they suffered a late slide and a quick exit from the conference tournament, the Lady Mountaineers find themselves, at least temporarily, on top looking down. The Charlotte Ob­ server picks ASU to win the Southern Conference. "This is the most depth we've ever had, (and) the most experience we've had returning," said Appalachian head coach Linda Robinson. That experience comes from players like Spencer, considered by teammates and opposing coaches alike to be the Southern's premier point guard. The 5-5 Spencer is among ASU's all-time leaders in both steals and assists. Other veterans for Appalachian State, like center Andreia Hinton and forward Merideth Thompson, look to greater heights after a 1994-'95 sea­ son which ended too soon for a team with the league's most balanced roster. Also back are juniors Maaret Artosalo (8.6 ppg) and Melissa Davis (9.3 ppg, 5 rebounds), along with guard Leigh Jones. It may be Appalachian's newest recruits who have Coach Robinson most excited. "We've got a lot of returning players, but any time you add five newcomers, it changes the team makeup," she said, adding that the team didn't take long to find some sort of team rhythm in practice. The newest Lady Mountaineers join a program which has had envi­ able success in the last 10 years. Appalachian State and Coach Robinson reached the NCAA tournament during the 1990 and 1991 seasons, and earned a National Invitational Tournament bid in 1987. In the same span, ASU has enjoyed four seasons in which the team won at least 20 games. But these freshmen are no strangers to winning themselves. Florala, Ala. import Shonta Rowe was part of a 1-A high school team that won the state title. Erica Mathies comes to the team from a strong program in Morganton, joining center Tiana Tate as the second Freedom product in as many years to choose Appalachian. Rounding out the Class of 1999 are forwards Jamie Layell from State Road and Tamara Stewart from Fletcher, the 5 feet 11 inches Beth Schoolfield of Western Guilford High in Greensboro, and Cara Sims of Sparta, Tenn.
