It also states that ASU has the second highest gradua­ tion rate in the system. This rate includes athletes, who graduate almost identically to the overall rate of graduation at Appa­ lachian. The average SAT score has increased over the past eight years by 90 points, to now just under 1000, according to the report. Appalachian is third in the system (af­ ter North Carolina State Universtiy and The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) in the percentage of faculty members with doctorate or professional degrees. NCSU and UNC-Ch, along with Appa­ lachian, receive the most in-state applica­ tions from North Carolina residents. The report indicates that dollars spent for education at ASU ($20,776 per stu­ dent) are used efficiently becausethe state can spend less money per student and still have a high graduation rate. This report also points out some of Appalachian's weaknesses.

Second, the foreign student enrollment is "among the lower percentages in the UNC system, but is comparable to that of other comprehensive institutions in the system," according to the report. ASU's foreign student enrollment is .6 percent. Women faculty compose just 26 per­ cent at Appalachian, 2.6 percent lower than the system average.

Gurley also helped plan the visit of Lieutenant Gov. Gardner last semester. ASU's vice president is Douglas Duncan. He is from Charlotte and is a business management major and a politi­ cal science minor. Duncan has been a senator from Coffey Hall and sat on the Student Affairs Committee. Duncan was instrumental in the instal­ lation of thespeed bumpson LocustStreet. Duncan also brought about the pizza de- Doug Duncan livery service on campus from Trivette Hall. Gurley and Duncan have said that one of their priorities is to establish a "Dead Week." This is simply to allow for one week at the end of each semester to be free from all tests, quizzes and papers, therefore allowing students time to pre­ pare for their finals. Another of their priorities will be to broaden the appeal of SGA to more areas of students. "We would perhaps want to increase appeal to off-campus students more," said Gurley. As stated in their platform, Gurley and Duncan will try to require student repre­ sentation on all faculty and administra­ tive searchcommittees,support construc­ tion of Greek-funded Greek housing, and increase minority student, faculty and ad­ ministrative recruitment. Other issues in­ clude establishing a standing university committee to address environmental is­ sues, support modernization and expan­ sion of the university recycling program, and support placement of additional bike racks around campus. Gurley and Duncan also actively hope that there will be a strong effort to get into the highly sough: positions of Hall Sena­ tors. Two senators are elected from each hall and lliey are to represent the entire hall on issues that are brought up in RSA. If anyone wishes to run for a senate seat, you can pick up nomination forms at the SGA wing of Workman Hall outside room21A. The deadline for nominations is Sept. 3. Students will vote on Sept. 8 and 9 for their representatives. "We are looking forquality people who will repre­ sent their halls well in SGA and are going to stick with it," said Duncan. Smoking now regulated in Wey Hall By DAWN MCGUIRE Appalachian Staff Writer Students who want to have a quick cigarette before class have some new rules to follow if that class is in Wey Hall. Over the summer, the Arts and Com­ munications faculty, who occupy Wey Hall, voted in favor of and implemented a no-smoking policy for the building. Although smoking is allowed in some stairwells and the entrance ways, the hall­ ways andclassrooms are smoke-free. Fac­ ulty are permitted to smoke in their own offices. So far there have been no complaints about the policy. "I feel that the faculty does have a right to pass a no-smoking rule, since they are the ones who have to teach in the building all day long. They did reach a compro­ mise as we are still allowed to smoke in the stairway and entrances," said smoker Karmen Jenkin, who has several classes in Wey Hall. Dr. Ming Land, dean of fine and ap­ plied arts said there had been complaints about the smoke last year. "The smoke from the hallways would spread into the classrooms. Both students and faculty complained about the second­ hand smoke," said Land. Land said that over the summer the faculty of Wey Hall decided that a smoking policy for the building was needed. "We voted tokeep the hallwayssmokefree, but still preserved thesmokers' rights by allowing smoking areas in the en- trance ways and the southwest stairwell," said Land. Land said that both students and fac­ ulty have been very cooperative with the new policy, some choosing to leave the building to smoke. Appalachian officials have felt some pressure to make a clear policy to protect the health of both smokers andnon-smok­ ers. In November of 1991, the Faculty Sen­ ate made a recommendation to Chancel­ lor John Thomas to adopt a smoke-free policy in all academic areas and build­ ings. Currently the university has no cam­ pus-wide policy banning smoking. In 1986 theSurgeon General report on See SMOKING page 2 The Selby Jones Student Activity Cener is going back to the drawing board iccording to Chancellor John Thomas, [he $24 million SAC which was pulled rom the UNC-system bond referendum, s a project still needed, said Thomas. Thomas will be asking for a $1 million idv ancement to consider new plans for he Student ActivityCenter when the state egislature meets in January. The $1 milion is part of a package the administraionisoffering for approval inplaceof the iriginal SAC. Included in the replacement is close to $26 million for Phase 1 of a math/science complex and $4.2 million additionto Belk Library. The request, though, has not yet gone through the process for consideration by the legislature. The chancellor has asked for a special consideration by the state for the proposal. Appalachian is eligible for 10 percent of the $300 million bond referendum, because Appalachian has approximately 10 percent of the UNC-system popula­ tion. A $8.5 million academic support build­ ing is already on the referendum, but the SAC has left a $24 million void. The proposal for the replacements is not offi­ cial yet. "I feel confident the Student Activity Center will be built," said Thomas. "It's my honest opinion that the SAC will not be built," said Dr. Harvard Ayers, an anthropology professor. Dr. Ayers has opposed the SAC since it became a proposal. "Academic priorities sunk the SAC," explained Ayers. "This [SAC] is a bad idea right now." In a time of budget cmnches, Ayers feels a math/science complex is the top priority. The administration's request for $1 million planning money will be used to take a fresh look at the Student Activity Center, according to Chancellor Thomas. Thomas did not specify any areas of con­ sideration, just to look at the needs of the students. Thomas and the administration feel the space a SAC would give is needed. "We had 2,000 freshmen this fall," said Tho­ mas. "But Farthing only holds 1800 people." Farthing Auditorium is often the site for freshmen orientation-related meetings. The plans andpreparations for the origi­ nal SAC has cost $13 million. Money collected from student fees specifically for the SAC will not be held to be used for a future SAC. Collected student fees will be transferred to the student union upon approval by the slate, said Thomas. The SAC has come down to two issues: money and priorities. The administration has given the SAC toppriority in the past, while critics such as Ayers, Coalition for Academics, and Faculty Senate want to see academic buildings as priority. The budget crunch and state economy have helped opposing groups. With a limited state budget and the possibility of a bond referendum, academics became a prior­ ity. The SAC is not sunk. The chancellor and administration are still committed to a Student Activities Center. Opposing groups are also still committed to stop­ ping the SAC or a new form of the SAC. "We plan on continuing to address the issue," said Hunter Schoffield, member of Coalition for Academics, and Students Actively Volunteering for the Environment^ AVE). ASU Crime Report By SUZI LANDIS Appalachian News Editor A change in the Buckley Amendment has made campus crime reports available to the public. The Buckley Amendment, officially titled the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, classi­ fied law enforcement records at educa­ tional agencies or institutions as educa­ tion records. As of July 23, 1992 law enforcement records are not considered education records. The Appalachian will have a weekly campus crime report highlighting inci­ dences and occurrences affecting the stu­ dent body. The Appalachian hopes to provide a safety awareness by printing campus crime information. On August 18 at 2:16pm, there was a call concerning the possible injury of a construction worker at the student union. On August 19 at9:05am, there was a complaint of a doberman tied up outside of Smith Wright. At 9:19am, Police told animal control that they would bring the dog to the office and put him in the garage. At 11:04am, R.D. called from Gardner to say a female was showering in bath when an older male came in the bathroom and pulled shower curtain open in the stall. At 10.13pm, a male was spotted on fourth floor of Coltrane fitting the description of the same male found in Gardner. At 10.50pm, the RA on duty in Lovill called to say white male has been sitting in the main lobby for a week. He makes comments to residents when they pass. On August 20 at 6:37pm, the RD in Coltrane said she saw a male fitting the description of the prowler last night by Newland and between Eggers and Bowie. He was wearing a reddish pink shirt and worn blue jeans. On August 22 at 2:48am, two men were reported swimming nude in the Duck Pond. On August 23 at 9:23pm, a student reported that their room had been broken into over the weekend in Frank Hall. On August 25 at 10:59am, a tied-up dog was reported near the College of Business. At 11:56am a bike was found chained to an outside door at the College of Business blocking the door. The bike was confiscated for being a fire hazard. At 4:02pm. a call reported a hit-andrun accident near the Dept. of Tech. At 7:15pm. the State Farm guard house lock was broken. Someone had forced then way into the Guard House. On August 26 at 3:06pm, a person was reported injured in a bike accident in front of Lovill. He had severe cuts on his face and legs. �The Appalachian. Tuesday.

Second, references are no longer al­ lowable from family members or rela­ tives.

There is no reason to ^ a^°ut During Women's Equality Week, activities such as a lecture and ballet took place "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex." On August 26, 1920, women around the country celebrated be­ cause this one sentence was added to the Constitu­ tion as the 19th Amendment. This phrase repre­ sented the equality that women had been trying to achieve in the United States for many years. Women's Equality Celebration, which was held August 24 through August 29, was inspired by this landmark event in the fight for women's rights. The celebration served as a reminder of how far women have come on their journey to equality. The celebration, organized by Melissa Barth of the Women's Studies and Concerns Office, con­ sisted of a variety of activities and programs. Women's Equality Week began on Aug. 24 with the slide-illustrated lecture"Women/Finland" in room 03 Edwin Duncan Hall. Dr. Maggie McFadden, who spent a year researching women and politics in Finland, presented the program. A creative evening full of music took place on Aug. 25 in Edwin Duncan. Female writers were honored at a read-in, which took place at Melanie's Food Fantasy on Aug. 26. Performance artists Mary Anne M aier and Chris Doerflinger conducted a workshop, "Woman's Body: Drawing Down the Moon," to close the week's events. The artists also performed a ballet the evening of Aug. 29, entitled "Moon Belly Ballet." Although the issues discussed are known as women's issues, men were by no means excluded from the programs. "They [the programs Monday and Tuesday] were both full houses...we were packed with both men and women," said Barth. Last week was the first time that ASU and the Women's Studies and Concerns Office have ever held a Women's Equality Celebration, but the office has always been a very active body on campus. They sponsor the Campus Women's Collective, a student group that meets to discuss women's issues and political issues that are impor­ tant in their lives. The office coordinates activities with Residence Life and takes their ideas to the residence halls. To further serve the community, they also offer refer­ rals to counseling services for women who have suffered date rape or other forms of abuse. Barth hopes that this celebration will make more people aware of the Office of Women's Studies and Concerns and of its goal, which she defines as "helping the general population of Appalachian Stale University and Boone to understand, leant about, and be more aware of the concerns and needs of the female population of Appalachian." ASU gets Alpine Tower Outdoor Programs obtains frightening challenge By ELIZABETH WEST Appalachian Staff Writer While being safely nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, ASU has quite an illustri­ ous outdoor organization. There is much to be said for the training of outdoor leaders at ASU, both through Outdoor Programs as well as through the Leisure Studies Department. For several years, ASU has been recognized with having an outstand­ ing record in both safety as well as fun, innovative trips through Outdoor Programs. Outdoor Programs has utilized the Ashe County ropes course facility for some time but has recently been granted the "Alpine Tower." The Alpine Tower is a modified version of a ropes course with much the same intents and goals of a ropes course experience. The tower was originally designed in 1987 by Mike Fischesser, an eighteen-year veteran of the North Carolina Outward Bound School. Fischesser's intent was that the tower, being built on poles, would have less of an environmental impact than a ropes course which is generally built using trees. The tower is a fifty-foot structure constructed with three utility poles shaped into an hourglass form. The tower uses climbing holds, ladders in a variety of sizes, beams suspended throughout the tower, cargo nets, as well as a Appalachian File Hhoto EXPERIENCE ADVENTURE: The Alpine Tower is the newest asset to Outdoor Programs. The rope variety of other tools for making an ascent. course isknown for its safe and fun structure and isuseful for group building activities. Outdoor Programs There is much to be said of the value of a ropes has been using the facility but only recently has obtained full usage. course or tower experience. A tower experience provides several distinct program opportunities. It can be used for individual as well as group experi­ ences presenting some of the similar challenges of rock climbing and ropes course activities. An Alpine Tower experience isa fantastic meta­ phor for discussing lessons learned, such as trust, communication and teamwork. While attempting to climb the tower, individuals have the chance to do their personal best. There are opportunities for group development: gaining a respect for others, encouraging people to try their best, encouraging adventure and challenging personal limits. The ASU tower is available for any campus organization or conference held on campus, the Physical Education and Leisure Studies depart­ ments, as well as any other university users who have contracted an outing with Joe Quinn, the director of Outdoor Programs. This is not a riskfree activity and unless a trip has been cleared through Quinn, university "no trespassing" rules apply to the tower. The staff who work the tower programs have been specifically trained for work­ ing this and other group interaction course activi­ ties through Outdoor Programs. As of yet the tower has been used by a numberof campus wide groups such as the Black Student Association, APPS Council Leaders and the SGA cabinet It seems to be in high demand with other organizations as the fall trip calendar continues to fill up. Anyone interested in getting a group in­ volved in a 'Tower Experience"should feel free to stop by Outdoor Programs for more specific infor­ mation and its availability. Lollapalooza '92 entertains thousands of fans Varied performers openly expressed talents and views in world-wide summer appearances By KATE HESS Appalachian Et Cetera Editor A day full of music, people, and political and craft booths appeals to a great many college stu­ dents, especially when that day is part of the wellknown tour labeled Lollapalooza '92. Lollapalooza is a name that has no real defini­ tion, yet describes so much that takes placethrough­ out the tour. It is a festival that is currently touring the U.S. with seven alternative/progressive bands, the Jim Rose Circus Sideshow, and many other exciting attractions. With recent stops in Charlotte and Raleigh, some students from ASU took advan­ tage of the close proximity and made the trip to join the fun. The tour began in California on July 18, and will travel through 27 cities before it closes in Septem­ ber. Popular bands such as Pearl Jam, Lush, Jesus and Mary Chain, Soundgarden, Ice Cube, Ministry and the Red Hot Chili Peppers are the main attrac­ tions; however, local bands will entertain as well. These seven headlining bands are all fairly wellknown. Two stages are featured at the show, one where the main acts will perform while facing ahuge lawn full of diverse people. The other stage. Stage 2000, is slightly smaller, and will feature the Jim Rose Circus Sideshow and various local bands. The Sideshow is a sort of freak/horror show, and is not recommended for people with weak stomachs. Jim Rose himself will put his face and body on broken glass, while one of his assistants steps on the back of his head. Rose also swallows razors attached to string, and then retrieves the string. Also appearing in this unique display are some odd, yet interesting people in order to entertain the audience between acts on the main stage. The Torture King is one of the most popular, for he inflicts pain on himself with various skewers, then later electrocutes himself. In an interview with Spin magazine. Rose said, "People enjoy having their ears blown out at rock concerts. It's my job to make sure we blow your eyes out." Most people at the show would agree that Rose accomplishes his goal. Lollapalooza '92 was organized by Perry Farrell, who performed in the tour last year with his former band, Jane's Addiction. Since the breakup of the band, FarTell has spent his time organizing the allday affair that involves everything from music to sword swallowers. On the way to their seats, ticket holders will be led astray by the sights, sounds and smells of Concourse Oddities and Curiosities, thename used to describe the area full of crafts, food and art that hits people immediately as they enter into the concert arena. Prices of the various items for sale at the festival are rather steep-the cheapest T-shirt is $23-but the idea of this original event is so enticing that people are all too willing to shell out the extra dollars in order to remember the day. This year's Lollapalooza is filled with booths about all issues ranging from abortion rights to Amnesty International. Interspersed throughout the area will be catering facilities with cuisines from Jamaica, Africa and Greece, and of course the ail-American favorite, hotdogs and beer. The show begins at 2 p.m. with Lush performing on the main stage. The masses of people are over­ whelming, and one could easily get lost in the excitement. After Lush, the other six headlining bands per­ form, with breaks between each in order to change the set The show comes to a close around 11p.m., after the popular Red Hot Chili Peppers perform. The two N.C. shows in Raleigh and Charlotte were both a success. The Raleigh show was rather muddy, foT it had rained the night before. Mud slides were a main attraction there. Local bands, such as Toxic Popsickle and Billyclub Fest per­ formed during intermissions, much to the delight of the audience. Overall, Lollapalooza '92 is a show full of character, people and excitement for all. It is twelve hours of music and festivities, as well as an opportunity for the young and old to express thenviews on various political issues.

Many of them show herself, her son and her daughter. Her themes range from gender identifi­ cation, separation and loss of innocence, to fear of destruction. One photograph that stands out is of a storybook open to the tale of Hansel and Gretel. In front of the book is a pile of individually wrapped peppermint candies. While in the story the old witch tempts the children with candy. Nettles also tempts the ob­ server to climb inside the picture and experience childhood once again. The theme of destruction and loss of innocence is apparent. If you go with the witch you will be destroyed, just as you will be if you try to resist growing up. Another of Nettles pieces that makes a statement is of fingerprints. Her childlike images continue with the depiction of fingerpainted pictures by children, and then the loss of innocence when she shows fingerprints of adults who have committed a crime. A photographof her son and daughter dressed up for Halloween depicts the influence television has had on our culture. Her son has chosen to be GJ. Joe and her daughter decided upon Rainbow Brite. Whatever happened to old-fashioned witches and vampires? Nettles, who has been exhibiting and publishing her works since 1970, is also featured in a continu­ ally running video on the top floor of the gallery. Not only can you view her work, but you can also hear and see the artist talk about her work and inspirations. Nettles hasreceived many awards including two National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships. In addition she chairs the University of Illinois at Champaign's photography program. She also lec­ tures across the United Slates and gives work­ shops, and still finds time to be an artist-in-residence at the Penland School of Arts and Crafts.

Sports Editor __ McCARN ppalachian Assistant Sports Editor Facts and figures to be aware of as the outliem Conferenceopens the 1992 footseason. MARSHALL UNIVERSITY lirshall Thundering Herd 0 Donnan (third year) »1: 114-0 (5-2 in SC) 991 vs. ASU: 9-3 (ASU) Ranked first in most pre season 1 -AA oils, the Thundering Herd appear to be the squad in the conference to beat. In addition to advancing to the 1 -AA cham­ pionships last season before falling 25-17 at the hands of Youngstown State, the Herd just fell short of defeating Atlantic Coast Conference powerhouse North Carolina State, 15-14. They are the pick to win everything (the Southern Conference title and the 1-AA championship). They are very tough to slow down, but hopefully we will be able todoiC'Mooresaid. The Herd will be led by 1991 Southern Conference player-ofthe-year Michael Payton. Playing at quar­ terback, Payton totaled 3,392 yards pass­ ing for 26 touchdowns and completed 222 of 346 passes for a school and SC record as he achieved a 64.2 percent accu­ racy rate. 1991 all-league wide receiver Brian Dowler will also be a strong leader for Marshall as he led the SC in receiving with 1197 yards. Furman Paladins Head Coach: Jimmy Satterfield (seventh year) 1991: 74-0 (4-3 in SC) 1991 vs. ASU: 26-23 (ASU in 3 OT) Senior co-captain Carl Tremble, an AllAm erican candidate, led the squad in rush­ ing with 927 yards fori 1 touchdowns last season. A tailback, he is the tenth best rusher in Southern Conference history and is ninth on the conference scoring charts. Senior Kola Suttle, the Paladins other co-captain, is considered their top defensive player. A linebacker, he led the Paladins in tackles with 143, making him the leading tackier in the conference. An All-Southern Conference performer, he should contend for defensive player-ofthe-year. Senior defensive back, Jason Grant, an SAU-SC selection who is per­ haps Furman's finest defensive back and junior quarterback Hugh Swilling who totaled 1422yards in passing for 14 touch­ downs last season should also be factors in the performanceof the Paladins. "They have a rich tradition and stick to the old stuff. Furman has a very fine program," Moore said. ^ The Citadel Bulldogs Head Coach: Charlie Taafee (sixth year) 1991: 74-0 (5-2 in SC) 1991 vs. ASU: 17-10 (OT) The Bulldogs were the only team in the conference to defeat the Mountaineers last season as they pulled out a 17-10 victory in Charleston. Returning will be All-American candidate Jack Douglas who led the squad in rushing with 1152 yards, in passing with 795 yards, and in scoring with 13touchdowns. Senior quar­ terback Douglas is the all-time leading rushing quarterback in 1-AA history with 2748 regular season yards and has rushed for a 1 - AA quarterback single game sea­ son record of 1152 yards. Ail-American candidate seniors Lester Smith and Carey Cash will also be dominant for The Cita­ del. Smith, a free safety, led in tackles last season with 132 while Cash, an offensive tackle, is quite a dominating offensive lineman. "Jack Douglas is one of the top players in die Southern Conference and will be strong," Moore said. Tennessee-Chattanooga Moccasins Head Coach: Buddy Nix (ninth year) 1991: 74-0 (4-3 in SC) 1991 vs. ASU: 42-7 (ASU) Considered by Moore to be one of the best in the league, 'Tennessee-Chatta­ nooga is well coached and are one of the most physical football teams in die con­ ference." The Moccasins will be led by sophomore quarterback Kenyon Earl who led them in total offense with 1938 yards and in passing with 1643 yards. Junior defensive back Monte Lovelace will also See FOOTBALLpage 8 ntramurals held in Broome Kirk Gym offers many events I yLYDIA CRAVER ippalachian Sports Editor Intramural athletics is a division of xreational sports at ASU that is de­ igned to provide an opportunity for iendly competition in individual, duals, o recreational and team sports. "We strive to help students, faculty and taff develop their physical, emotional nd social aspects by providing a variety f leisure time action. Through this we Mope they will develop patterns of well leing, such as physical fitness or just Jetting their mind offof things,"Intramu'll Coordinator Jim Eubanks said. According to Eubanks, the majority of re students who partake in intramural cl/viiy do soin order to meet friends, get w way froni their studies and to relax. In te 1991-92 academic year, 9,699 of SU s 11,500 students participated in tlramural sports. The largest fall activity intramurals is flag football which derated 110 teams and 1,390 particianlslastyear. Thelargestspring activity team basketball which totalled 86 teams with 1,489 participants last tar. * The Office of Intramural Sports de­ clares an All-University Points Cham­ pion each year in men's, women's and, beginning this year, in co-recreational sports. These winners are determined by the amount of points they earn by partici­ pating and excelling in the various ath­ letic contests intramurals offers. For the 1991-92 year, the Dicemen/Outlaws di­ vision captured the title for men's compe­ tition. The Dicemen/Outlaws captured the volleyball, team handball and 3-on-3 weekend basketball contests and finished second in team basketball, flag football, horseshoes and bowling. "We compete in intramurals to help relieve stress and to experience a competitive challenge at the non varsity level. We captured the title last year because of our consistent in­ volvement and we plan to defend our title this year," Dicemen/Outlaws team mem­ bers David Davenport and Lynn McDougald said. In addition to offering opportunities for students to compete, the intramural department also offers chances for stu­ dent employment. Intramural sports em­ ploys over 150 students as scorers, tim­ ers, sportsofficials, office assistants, pub­ licity assistants and recreational supervi­ sors. Sports officials, scorer and timer clinics arc available in addition to an officiating class (PE-1501) which is of­ fered each semester. Upcoming deadlines to register for in­ tramural sports this semester include ten­ nis: singles, doubles, mixed doubles and team competition on Sept. 2 and weekend Softball, soccer and flag football on Sept. 8. Golf, putt-putt, racquetball, team hand­ ball, volleyball, weekend 3-on-3 basket­ ball and 1-on-l basketball will also be offered later in the semester for teams. In the co-recreational division, soccer, flag football, racquetball, bowling, 2-on-2 basketball and weekend 4-on4 basket­ ball will be offered later in the semester. Individuals who are not currently en­ rolled in PE-1501 and are interested in working with intramural sports as offi­ cials for soccer or flag football can attend a clinic on Sept. 2 at 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. respectively in Broome Kirk Gym.

(! or, a Watagua High graduate, comes - ° ^ountaineers after a brief stint at lw° the University of NorthCarolina atChapel Hill while Jamieson comes to the area from Daytona Beach, FL where he was regarded as one of the top junior players in Northern Florida. "Our goals for the year are to win as many events as possible, and naturally to win the Southern Conference title. We will have as good a chance to accomplish these goals this year as any," Adams said. Adams noted that squads from East Tennessee State, Furman, and Marshall will likely field the strongest teams and provide the toughest competition for the Appalachian squad. Golf is a tough sport for the Mountain­ eers to be competitive in, according to Adams, due to the varying weather condi­ tions that prohibit maximum practice time. Other schools are not faced with the freez­ ing temperatures and snow that plague golf practice. Another obstacle for the golf program is the fact that Appalachian State does not have a university-operated golf course and many local courses are not willing to turn over their property for several days to a group of university stu­ dents to conduct a tournament. Despite these disadvantages, Adams sighted that his team will simply try harder to excel and play to their utmost potential in order to adequately prepare tliemselves for other more established programs tltroughout the conference. The men's golf squad will travel to compete in the College of Charleston Invitational on Sept. 13-15 before return­ ing to its home state to compete in the Guilford College Invitational on Oct. 4-6. The Mountaineers will round out their fall schedule travelling to Campbell Uni­ versity on Oct. 11-13. Following this, ASU travels to Carson-Newman College on Oct. 18-20 and ends the season with a meet at James Madison on Oct. 30-Nov. 1. Linville Ridge Golf Course's Bill Dicus looks to rebuild a young squad By LYDIA CRAVER Appalachian Sports Editor The Lady Mountaineer golf team, un­ der the direction of first-year head coach Bill Dicus, is gearing up for the 1992 season. Dicus, the head golf pro at Linville Ridge, has been a Class A member of the Pro Golfer's Association for six years. Prior to his current position at Linville Ridge, he was associated with Grandfa­ ther Country Club. A graduate of Campbell University with anundergradu­ ate degree in English, Dicus also played collegiate golf for the Camels. He is currently working on some graduate stud­ ies in business at Appalachian State. "I hopeto bring my experience as a golf pro and my knowledge on managing and motivating people to the squad," Dicus said. ASU will led by team captain junior Amy Mouser. In addition to Mouser, the squad will return juniors Leslee Gainey, Mary Lytton, and Kim O'Briant. Sopho­ more Ellen Stewart will also return for the Lady Apps. The only newcomer on the squad will be freshman Karen Muench. Muench, a graduate of Clear Creek High in League City, TX, was a three-time most valuable selection for her high school squad. The Lady Mountaineers' main shortterm goal for the season is to continue improving. Since they are not currently involved with the Southern Conference due to the lack of participation among other universities, the squad's long-term goal is to one day be competitive in the NCAA level. Although there are not currently enough squads to hold a confer­ ence championship, there is some discus­ sion of one in the future, according to Dicus. The team will look to replace gradu­ ated standout Pam Barringer who totaled the lowest stroke average for the Lady Apps over her four-year stint with the squad. Another key loss will be that of senior Wesley Ann Hobbs who is unable to play this year due to prior commit­ ments with the ROTC. Appalachian State will open the nontraditional season as they travel to com­ pete in the Long wood College Invita­ tional in Farmville, VA on Sept. 17-20. The Lady Apps will go on to compete in the Duke Invitational Oct 14before play­ ing in the James Madison Invitational in Harrisonburg, VA on Oct. 9-11. They will round out the fall season playing at the Furman Invitational in Greenville, SC on Oct 15-18 and the College of Charlestonlnvitational in Charleston, SCon Nov. 5-8. The squad also competes in the spring, yet does not hold any home matches due to lack of facilities. ASU Field Hockey Gearing Up senior All-Deep South selection Shannon Smith to lead the way.

Kennedy was assassinated Nov. 22,1963. c Campus crime logs are now available to student media at public colleges and Diversities thanks to a bill signed by President Bush on July 23,1992. The bill gned into law a clarification of campus crime records as not "educational cords" under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), 20 I.S.C. sec. 1232g, more commonly known as the Buckley Amendment. This cw bill was included as part of the Higher Education Reauthorization Act. Many universities believed campus crime reports could not be made acccsible to the media since the information involved student records. College and Diversity officials most commonly cited the fear of losing its federal funding nder the limitationsof the Buckley Amendment as the reason for not releasing Campus crime reports. The Buckley Amendment provided that all federal jnding would be cut from colleges and universities that have made a practice >f releasing student education records. The bill explains that the definition of educational records does not include ^records maintained by a law enforcement unit of the educational agency or Institution that were created by that law enforcement unit for the purpose of law enforcement." With the passage of this bill, schools can no longer cite the Buckley Amendment as a reason for denying access to campus law enforce­ ment records, according to Mark Goodman of the Student Press Law Center. In compliance with this new bill, the Appalachian State University police rpartmcnt has opened up its crime logs to The Appalachian. Publication of lese records is important to the safety of all ASU students, faculty and staff, ccess to this information will provide students with information that will oint out areas of campus where repeated incidents occur. If students, faculty and staff are made more awareof the potential dangers on college campus they will be more safety conscious. When people are safety onscious, they limit their chances of being the victim of crime. Opening these sords is beneficial to everyone involved. The Appalachian will publish a weekly summary of the ASU police crime >g This log is a written record of every incident the police were called about "d to which they responded. The log usually includes a brief description of the Kidentas well as the time and location where it occurred. Also included in the $ is a report citing the doors that were found unlocked by the officer when he 'she checked the security of the buildings on campus. ( ASU crime reports: our necessary right By LORRIE GANTT Appalachian Commentary Editor I 'r We all know thai cars are evil spewers of carbon monoxide, and we'd all breath a little easier if there were less of them. I'm not saying that we should all walk to North Carolina State University for Appalachian's first football game on the fifth. But I think maybe some folks could abstain from driving two blocks to get milk and bread. The problem of car pollution is obvious. Stand behind an old clunker once, while someone cranks'er up. Take a good whiff of that. But how many of us are thinking about our respiratory systems and the state of the earth's environment when we mow the grass or blow the leaves off of the driveway? You'd better get into the habit, folks! An article in the August 17,1992 edition of U.S!News and World Report titled "Cars are not the only polluters" states that "America's 80 million gas mowers spew as much air pollution as do 3 1/2 million new cars." The Environmental Protection Agency conducted'a study and found that people who run their lawn mower for one hour might as well have gotten into their car and driven fifty miles down the road. From my house in Asheboro, NC, I could drive the twenty-five mile dis­ tance to the Four Seasons Town Centre in Greensboro, NC, hang out with some friends, buy apair of Levis jeans, and drive home. I know what you're thinking. You're wondering why I just don't stay home. You're saying"Why let the yard turn into a jungle while you waste time, money, and pollute the air with your car to keep from polluting with your mower?" I'm a hypocrite? You missed the point. Citizens gave a cheer when the leaf-blower was intro­ duced. We all shouted "Lose the rake! Forget about sweeping thedriveway!"Sony, folks, I've got bad news. Vv» - • •; » Wc'Tlmao If you whistle while you work and take one hour to insure a leafless driveway and sidewalk you and your car just took a one hundred mile road trip. (For those of you who are indeed paying attention, that's two shopping sprees at the Four Seasons Town Centre and two pairs of Levis jeans.) Plant. Upkeep of the university's grounds is taken care of by their grounds department which, all together, has about forty-one gas-burning engines. This figure in­ cludes thirteen lawn mowers/tractors, five leaf-blowers, and variousother tools such as chainsaws, hedgetrimmers, and a Giant Vac leaf vacuum. Besides sharing this little inventory. Beech also ex­ plained that the grounds keeping here at ASU is, as it must be, an ongoing cycle. In order to complete just the mowing of the entire campus it takes approximately seven days, and the cycle begins again. Thus, the great wall of carbon monoxide is formed. Of course, the necessity of mowing decreases signifi­ cantly after the first killing frost. Usually, by mid-Octo­ ber the grass stays put until Spring. As the grass ceases to grow, however, the leaves begin to fall and the blowers that have been used sparingly over the summer months become frequent companions of men who work from 7am to 4pm to keep our campus well groomed. According to Beech it is customary for a four-man crew to remove the leaves from Sanford Mall. But the entire surface of the mall is not often cleared at once, because most of the time leaves collect in a few isolated areas. Still, if four men spendan hourat work, each armed with a leaf blower, that's four hundred miles of travel in an automobile. That's quite a bit of pollution. I know we need to mow the grass, and I've been here long enough to imagine how ridiculous it would be to ignore the vast amounts of leaves that fall in Autumn. But there must be somewhere the university could cut down and conserve. Perhaps ASU mightconsider purchasing a few electric powered tools. Not all at once, of course, the expense would be phenomenal, maybe just one or two, here and there. Every little bit counts. In the twenty-two and a half years that Terry Beech has been with the Physical Plant to his knowledge there has never been a discussion of electric powered tools. Two decades of traditional grounds upkeep has weathered change. Just think about a trail of carbon monoxide one hun­ dred miles long. Almost makes you want to break out the old rake agaia right? Hey, but your lawn is a manicured work of art, and best of all, your hard labor was cushioned by man's grand gassuming engine inventions. Take a look around ourown neat campus, for example. Every day students walk through a maze of concrete and grass. The landscaping and grounds upkeep at Appala­ chian State University provide a pleasant outdoor atmo­ sphere for all. Guess what, though? ASU has an entire fleet of gasoline-guzzling tools. Maybe it's time to have a chat with Black & Decker You've seen them. It's no secret that men riding about their cordless electric mowers. Wouldn't that be a tractors and some equipped with leaf-blowers work hard start? to maintain a safe, healthy, and beautiful campus. The In closing, I must comment on the leaves once again. administration certainly does not want students slipping It is nice to know that the leaves blown into piles and on leaves, overran by insects, and tortured by allergies. vacuumed up in the Giant Vac are placed in compost Yes, and beauty is a factor as well. mounds and used later for mulch and fertilizer. In light of the mower-blower discovery, however, is it So I don't want to see anybody throwing rocks at the possible to achieve the grounds keeper's goals and be grounds keepers; that wouldn't solve much of anything. kinder to the environment at the same time? Let's take a Personally, I strongly suggest an upgraded fleet of out­ look at the currentupkeep system used onour campus and door machinery. The tools we have may meet certain draw a few conclusions. health and safety standards. But we can do better than Terry Beech is the Grounds Supervisor at the Physical that. Drop/Add: An ASU tradition continues By MICHAEL GIRA Appalachian Columnist A very wise man once said, "Don't screw with tradition.'Taking these words to heart, I started the 1992-93 school year off conforming to the pattern set by all previous years. Where wasI theTuesday before classes began? Enjoying the last day of my not-soendless summer on my brand new mountain bike? No. On rollerblades? No. Picnicing with someone I love? No. I find it's logical to assume that if you're not enjoying the last day of sum­ mer you're in one of two places; the hospital or drop/add. If you're making a tradition of starting each school year in the hospital we prob­ ably need to talk. If you're starting each school year in the drop/add line we prob­ ably have talked. In fact, I probably know your name. I have not missed a drop/add in three years. To me it's like a big welcome back party. In this line, my indecisive friends and I catch up on old times and lie about how great our summers were. This year we honestly considered buying a keg, blindfolding ourselves, and then spinning each other around in circles. Once dizzy and disoriented, we would stumble around for one or two minutes and then pin the tail on the classes that would become our new schedule. My friends and I figure drop/add could be a fabulous back-to-school kick-off bash. Everyone would die just to go. We print up some T-shirts, something greek, maybe "I got laid at ASU's Hawiian Drop/ Add Luau." It's got potential. Anyway, as it turned out, I needed two of those all-too-familiar drop/add carbon copy sheets, one for everything I dropand one for everything I add. I reach the front of the line and wait for a computer opera­ tor to raise his or her hand. You know there are problems when no hand rises even after the person who was directly in front of you has left with his new schedule. I'm not afraid to admit I have almost developed into a drop/add legend. As I enter the room, silence takes con­ trol, time seems to stand still, the opera­ tors cringe, and some hide beneath their desks. The twilight zone's theme song comes to mind. "Oh no, not Mike Gira," I can hear them whisper as I decide who the unfor­ tunate person will be. Mysteriously, the operators find them­ selves subconsciously reciting my social security number. As I pass by, sighs of relief from the unchosen operators break the silence. Once I am safely out of range, hands begin to again rise and drop/add resumes. The operator I select fearfully glances at me out of the comer of her eye. My social security number is already on the screen and she begins dropping all of my classes. "Not that one," I calmly interapL "I need that one." Forty-five minutes latermy new sched­ ule has been created. I'm majoring in English, minoring in marketing, taking ROTC and learning German. Who cares if my schedule looks like the variety pack of higher education? Another wise man once said, "Variety is the spice of life." « ! �12. The Appalachian. Tuesday. Srptrmfrr I 1QQ?

THE APPALACHIAN FAIRNESS, ACCURACY AND PUBLIC SERVICE SINCE 1934 APPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY, Boone, NC 28608 Thursday, August 27,1992 Overbooked; No room for some students I . I By sUZI LANDIS | Appalachian News Editor Appalachian State University's Resi­ de Halls are now operating at a 101.4 percent occupancy rate. The policy of overbooking residence halls to allow for j^shows and withdrawals left 97 stuijaits without regular room assignments Sunday, August 16. As of last week half of those students arestill waiting for room issignntents. The overbooked students were placed in a triplett room or in a converted semiuirroom. Forty-seven women were added in Newland to make triple occupancy rooms. Ten men were added in Justice to form triples. Twenty women and twenty men were assigned to converted seminar rooms in Belk, Bowie, and Frank. The converted seminar rooms are the enclosed lounges and study rooms on eachfloor. Therooms have locking doors, bunk beds, wardrobes, and a card table and chairs to accomodate four students, I according to ResidenceLife Director Brad Reid. Forty-two women and 16 men are still waitingforpermanentroom assignments. No-shows have been declared said Reid. "We'rewaiting for withdrawals. The num­ ber situation changes daily." Reid predicts men to be placed in permanent rooms in a couple of weeks. "Itmight be the majority of the semester for women," added Reid."Hopefully, triples will be out by fall break." The overbooked students receive a $15 credit a week for up to six weeks. Fteshmen Darcy Jones feels the credit is not worth the living conditions. "Vou can't settle in,"said Jones. "You're Rhodo will be missed By AD AM HATCH Assistant News Editor The Rhododendron, Appalachian State Univerity's student yearbook, will not be published for the 1992-93 school year Bile to lack of student interest and "availability of funds. The Rhododendron has been published " Appalachian for 69 years, since the 1922-23 academic school year. Many students have expressed that this •he passing of a big part of their Emories of ASU. 8 Scott Plaster, Copy Editor for the 1991yearbook said "It's more than just a publication. It's like losing a hon, if the students want the yearhack, it's up to them to begin show- living out of a suitcase. We have no desk or desk lights, so it's hard to study." "You can't get organized or unpacked because you never know what day you might move into a room," said freshmen Vince Chung. "We can't get a refrigera­ tor or television because we don't know what our roommate might have." The process of booking residence halls begins in February and March, according to Reid. "We have to make projections based on past years' numbers," said Reid. "We have to make decisions on numbers to committ to freshmen and then upperclassmen." The assignments are then based on a lottery number given randomly to each student. After June 1 the lottery is taken out and a first-come, first-serve process goes into effect. Jones said that the university lost her application so her name was dropped from the lottery. By the time new applications were filledout, Jones was at the bottom of the room assignment list. Chung also had paperwork problems. Coming from Hong Kong, Chung did not receive the necessary applications and questionaires in time. All students who are not assigned a room but guaranteed on-campus housing are called in advance by Residence Life. According to Reid, the school tries to call three times. If the school cannot get in touch with the student after that no more calls are made. "We received no calls from ASU," said Jones. "We called the school five days before I was supposed to move in and they told us I would not have an assigned room." See OVERBOOKED page 2 MAKING THE BEST OF A SITUATION: Freshmen and upperclass students alike were placed in residence hall lobbies at the start of the semester. Normally, rooms are intentionally overbooked to allow for withdrawals and no s'tcws'.* Student Activity Center pulled from bond referendum By SUZI LANDIS Appalachian News Editor The Selby Jones Student Acitivity Center was taken off the $300 million bond referendum for the University of North Carolina system's wish list this summer. The removal of theSAC means the facility will not be considered by the state for bond funding at this time. In the June 10,1992, issue of the Char­ lotte Observer, Dr. Greg Blinding, vice chancellor of student development, said, "We still support the development of the Student Acitivities Center and believe that it will be funded when the state has money to do so. Our position has always been is that it's not a matterof if the center would be built, but when." The status of the SAC is uncertain. The SAC will not be built as planned at this time according to Blinding. How­ ever, the Student Acitivity Center might return to the drawing board for modifica­ tion and further consideration. The history of the SAC dates back about five years. The Oct. 7,1986, prior­ ity list of the university stated Appalachian's top five priorities as: l)a new facility for the College of Business , 2) a theatre/gallery/t.v. production facil­ ity, 3) a mathematics and science center/ facility, 4) an academic support facility, and 5) an addition to Belk Library. Between 1988 and 1990 Appalachian began the proces of planning for the SAC, while some students and faculty began the process of opposing the SAC. The Student Activities Center was planned as a 11,500 seat and $24 million building. The state would appropriate $9.5 million, approximately $10 million would come from students, and $4 million from dona­ tions. The SAC would provide a larger space for convocation, graduation, intra- TIMEUNE OF THE STUDENT ACTHVITY CENTER October 1986 Summer 1988 October 1988 May 1990 Spring 1991 Fall 1991 Summer 1992 University priority list does not include the SAC State appriopiates funds for three regional student activity centers University's number one priority is SAC Faculty survey opposes the SAC, Faculty Senate opposes SAC Academic Policies & Procedures Committee asks administration to withdraw support of SAC, University Environmental Assessment Finds no significant impact by SAC, State denies ASU permission to build SAC without further surveys, Student Government Association survey finds majority of students against SAC State appropriations for $300 million system wish list becomes bond referendum and postponed to spring session ASU Coalition for Academics holds a Sack the SAC bike tour, ECU and NCSU pull their student activity centers off the bond referendum. State pulls SAC from referendum Fee raise? Not for now mural sports, athletic offices and basket­ ball. Appalachian received approximately $2 million from the state to begin the planning procedures. Student fees were collected in the 1990-91school year. In May 1990, a faculty survey con­ cluded 67 percent of the faculty was against the SAC. The Faculty Senate Campus Planning Committee called for a halt to all site preparation and other construction activities. Appalachian's Environemental As­ sessment of March 1991, found the SAC would have no significant impact on the environment. After originally supporting the SAC, a month later the SGA held a student referendum. The result of the sur­ vey was 1,025 against the SAC and 389 in favor of the SAC. In May 1991, the Faculty Senate Cam­ pus Planning Committee called for the Proposed student fee increases were rejected by the Board of Governors for the second year in arow. Chancellor John Thomas and the Board of Trustees, with recommendations by the Student emment Association, approved*fifiafHT fee increase for the 1992^93sji65dem ic year. The state legislature, Mwever. had asked the Board of Governors to not ap­ prove fee increases until a policy of in­ creasing fees is researched and devel­ oped. Tuition was approved for increase, but general fees remained the same. General See STUDENT page 3 See FEE page 4 By SUZI LANOIS Appalachian News Editor Reconstruction of Plemmons Student Union to be finished in spring By SUZI LANDIS Appalachian News Editor Phase I construction and renovation of Plemmons Student Union is underway. The $9 million project started two months after schedule and has since run into some problems, said Larry Trivette, director of the student union. Fire regulations, earthquake standards, and asbestos removal have put the project completion back. Originally built in 1967, the student union had to be brought up to 1992 standards and codes. There's no official change on the October 15th dead­ line of Phase I, but Trivette believes the phase will be completed by the end of the semester. The original plans for renova­ tion and remodeling sceduled a mid-May renovation of the second floor. The first floor was to be left as is. Workmanoffices and Outdoor Programs were supposed to move to the second floor in September and October. This fall, work on the new union addition was to begin. The project, however, has been put back at least two months. Phase I construction includes the top and bottom floors of the student unions. Only the student union and A.P.P.S. of­ fices remain intact upstairs while the Sweet Shop remains downstairs. Plans for the second floor of the stu­ dent union will include the bowling alley, the Gold Room, and the skylight lounge. The game room will be Outdoor Pro­ grams. Our House and the adjoining meet­ ing rooms will house all offices now in Workman Hall. The Appalachian, SGA, and the Judicial Department will receive smaller but more efficient areas than in Workman. Offices from Workman could move by the end of the semester said Trivette.The Gold Room is tentatively going to open next spring, added Trivette. The downstairs of the student union will be open tostudents assoon as it's safe Trivette said. He estimated opening in a month. The Pub and SweetShop will still be downstairs through PhaseI. The game room will be located on the back hall behind the Pub. Student Union and A.P.P.S. offices will temporarily be in the downstairs lounge for two years, while Phase II is being completed. The offices will then be torn down to make room for a Black Student Association cultural center and an art encounter center. Phase II will include tearing down Workman Hall and building a three floor addition to the student union. The addi­ tion will have a mini-Quinn Center on the top floor, offices, a lounge and a 24-hour study room with computers on the second floor, and a larger Sweet Shop will be moved to the bottom floor of the tower. Trivette estimated completion of the entire project by Spring 1995. Phase I is scheduled to be finished by the end of the semester. The original plans projected completion by this fall semester. Delays mostly from adhering to new regulations and waiting for materials to come in have set the project back. Delays in construction of the student union have affected student employees of the university. The bowling alley was planned to open at the beginning of the fall semester, so students were given jobs. Because of the delays students originally promised jobs have been placed in other areas or have been put on a priority wail­ ing list As students quit or servicesopen, priority students will be offered jobs, ac­ cording to Trivette. Delays have also affected clubs and service organizations on campus. Meet­ ing rooms in the student union are now unavailable. To allow for the overflow. Legends has become accessible to groups Monday through Wednesday during the day. Pub shows will now be held in Legends also. Because of the closing of the Gold Room, Food Services has also extended hours in other locations. The cafeteria will be open longet to help service the overflow of students.

Save bal life G i v e o o d The Appalachian Organizational: Meeting j Overbooked Continued from page 1 Appalachian has considered using the Broyhill Inn to accomodate the overflow in residence halls. 'The Broyhill Inn is booked a year in advance and can only provide scattered days, not full weeks," explained Reid. Residence Life does not make projections far enough in advance to reserve space. Also, the length of time is always uncertain. Spaces from with­ drawals can open up at any time. Likewise, Appalachian hasconsidered using local hotels, but has faced similiar problems. August, September, and Octo­ ber are peak months usually booked in advance. Hotels would be willing to make a deal with ASU to reserve space, said Reid, but the school cannot commit m to a length of time. In the meantime, Resident Assisants are making the bestof thesituation.

Student activities, not to be confused with the student activity fee, encompasses student programs such as A.P.P.S. and student publications. All three categories receive no money from North Carolina. According to Dr. Gregory BUming, vice-chancellor for student affairs, the university pays for athletics, health ser­ vices, and student activities with the rev­ enue received by each department In addition, each department has a reserve fund for emergencies with up to six months reserve. The reserve is no where near that now, said Bliming. Because of nation­ wide and statewide economic problems, the athletic, student activities, and health services are running a deficit "We're trying hard not to limit stu­ dents, said Bliming. "In the past we've given optimum service in health care at minimum cost on a state level." In health services, the university must also meet a state employees' 1 percent raise without the state's help. The univer­ sity will be approximately $200,000 in the hole just with the health services, according to Bliming. As the cost of living increases and student feesstay the same, programssuch as A.P.P.S., SGA, and student publica­ tions will have to cut back on their bud­ gets. We can' t run a deficit forever," said Bliming. "We must balance the budget." The Rhododendron, ASU's yearbook, has already beendiscontinued becauseof lack of funds and lack of interest. The budgets for athletics, health ser­ vices, and student activities depend on the revenue intake. The revenue and ex­ penses must be equal after a specified amount of savings is taken out said Bliming. The three departments have a threemillion dollar revenueflow. Bliming estimated that half a million dollars will need to be cut out of the budget. Call Sharon at 262-3033 for more info Diane T; aylor KAPPA DELTA or go by (he Quinn for an application.

They were greeted by a dreary rain, which contributed to their feelings of nervousness and fright of living on their own. After the cars were unloaded and parents were gone, for most freshmen the next step was to meet their new roommates; however, some already knew their's from high school. With their small rooms looking like disaster areas, the freshmen ventured into their lobbies to meet their resident asistants and one another. Through the icebreakers on the hall, some of the freshmen got better acquainted, while others kept to themselves or friends from their hometown. Freshmen thought that the RAs overall were very friendly and outgoing in ways that tried to get everyone on the hall to develop a certain bonding, or a home away from home. There were many activities planned for the fresh­ men in four days, in order to keep them busy and to introduce them to ASU. Freshmen felt over­ whelmed by the activities, for they were also at­ tempting to get fully settled into their rooms before classes began. The realization that they were finally in college began to hit freshmen as they attended the different programs on the agenda. :HESS ian Et Cetera Editor Where, oh where, did the summer go? It seems like just days ago that everyone was packing up [heir suitcases and heading for home. I remember | filing like the summer would never end, and like I'dnever seeBoone again. It scares me when I look back at all that I wish I'd been able to do with my spare time. As I drove up to ASU two weeks ago, I looked around at all of the freshness and beauty that surrounded my car full of boxes, and realized why I had decided to attend school in the mountains of North Carolina. I was finally away from the city air in Greensboro, and in a location where I could think and relax. My thoughts began to wander to what this year would bring. Last year had been full of many new experiences and activities that had made me a happier person. I realized last year that college is much, much more than just a place where one goes to attend classes, declare a major, and then gradu­ ate and find a good job. Yes, that is a big factor of it, but the experience extends beyond that. The diversity of people that one sees as they walk through the campus of ASU, or of any other university, is overwhelming. There is so much variety in the clothes that are worn, the music that is played through dorm windows, and the hairJ styles that are proudly displayed. We could stereotype them all with neat little labels, such as: granola, greek, jock, deadhead, etc., but even these labels do not encompass every­ one here. People are so different from one another, that just wearing certain shoesor being in a sorority or fraternity does not automatically assign them personality traits. Sure, people who are into the same music or dress tend to hang out with one another, yet they do not necessarily adopt the same ambitions and ideas. It can be hard for everyone throughout their college lives to find their places and fit in with People. It is good to have a number of different friendships with a number of different people in order to broaden your mind. This sounds a lot easier than it is. We are all influenced by the friends that we make. In high school, I wore some of the same 'Crew shirts as my friends, just because that was die fad. You may say that it's sad that I wasn't able 10 stand on my own and be an individual. Well, you're right. The manners in which people influence our dves do not end after high school, but maybe we nature a little bit throughout college and begin to ^e life to please us, not our peers. We live away from our family members now, who were one of our biggest influences while we were growing up. As I think of this individuality that we all Possess, a quote comes to mind that I clipped last year by lames Allen. "Gierish your visions; cher®'1 your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your j^t, the beauty that forms in your mind, the ve'iness that drapes your purest thoughts, for... •f you remain true to them, your world will at last be built." That quote pretty much sums up what I was inking as I drove onto the campus of Boone two **®'u ago, with eager anticipation of the year ^ °f me and what changes it would bring. College is a time of experimentation, a time to fTOcipate and get involved in things that high ^°ol and the real world do not have to offer. Specially here, in the mountains, where opportu"llles to go hiking, camping, and visit Indian reser®*°ns are only as far away as the telephone, and '"ofessors are more than willing to help you out. Do not take advantage of our short time in ool because of what our peers will think of us is L olous. The people that look at you funny ause you went caving yesterday with Outdoor grams, or went to a mixer with your sorority/ U^mity, are people who have not yet gotten past Use °f stereotypes to judge people's actions, hile you are at ASU, do more than just attend J*fSes and go to parties. Be true to your feelings erT1°tioas, make friends that you will be able to c in twenty years, but most importantly, have a pe«time. As my mom told me this summer when I comabout working all the time, "College is P'a, Kate, enjoy it while it lasts." Well, I hate to " 'L but maybe she was right—just that once. ^ 'I s hard to say what this year will bring for ery°ne, but I'm positive that if you look at j self, and discover what you want out of your yUr >0r more) years here, you will be very happy. may even find yourself telling your grandchil^nfrtat they should attend school in Boone. Appalachian Photo by Brian McKlrmey ASU WELCOMES FRESHMEN; New students got an early start unpacking and unloading before the upperclassmen arrived. There were varied opinions in the course of the confusing first day. Michael Broome, a former SGA president, was the first speaker for freshmen. His motive was to relax the freshmen and get them to look at the humorous sideof college life, rather than the fright­ ening new experience that most believed it to be. One freshman said that the program entitled "Mapping the Environment," was very creative and interesting. It's purpose was to acquaint the freshmen with the sights and sounds of the campus and of Boone in general, because most had no idea where to go for their classes, or even to eat dinner. After the freshmen learned where their classes were located, they were no longer worried that they would feel embarrassed by asking someone on the first day. At Gub Expo, the many original opportunities that ASU has to offer were introduced to the freshmen by the upperclassmen. This gave moreof a student-to-student feeling,so that everyone could relate to one another. The freshmen felt as if the club presidents wanted their involvement in the activities. By Tuesday the eighteenth, most freshmen still felt rather unsettled in their attempts to unpack, but they were anxious to see what their classes would be like. Over the weekend they mostly had spent time with their roommates, or other students that they had already known on campus. The first few days of being a freshmen at any college are full of many surprises and new experi­ ences. Some members of the freshmen class at ASU this year said that they wished everyone was more outgoing and willing to meet each other. They hope to become better friends with the people on their halls. A few freshmen compared the unsettled feel­ ings of just moving into their rooms to living life out of a suitcase. They felt as if there were a lot of hassles associated with campus life, and because so many activities began as soon as they set foot on campus they did not feel like they could attend all that they would have liked. Overall, the new freshmen class seems to be adjusting to college life at ASU. There will be many experiences throughout this First year, and all the rest to come, that will broaden freshmen's minds, just as they did to upperclassmen. Stress is a common problem students face that is easily avoidable By LISA LATJGH1JN Appalachian Assistant Et Cetera Editor It's two o'clock in the morning. You have a major papier due for your eight o'clock class. Your computer has de­ cided it doesn't like you and keeps telling you "Invalid Request."The phone is ring­ ing, security has just towed your car, your roommate's friends have made them­ selves at home. Do you feel stressed? You bet! It's a rare occasion that all these things will happien at once, yet we have all expe­ rienced stress. What exactly is stress? Kit Olson of the Wellness Center defined it as your reaction to what is going on around you. "Stress comes from inside. It;'s the person's own inner reaction to what they're going through at the time."Stress is notsomething physical, although physi­ cal reactions such as sweating, alertness or distraction, shaking hands,drop in body temperature, or mental confusion can oc­ cur. Leftover from ancient times, stress is a response also known as the Fightor Flight Syndrome. It is the natural, human, physi­ cal respense that causes energy to accu­ mulate. This is the body's way of prepar­ ing to fight off the attacker or run away. In modem times, these reactions are not as practical. If you are stuck in a traffic jam, you can't exactly run or confront the opponent. You must instead wait patiently, which often causes stressespecially in the triangle area, the neck, head, and shoul­ ders. •>' '« Now that we know what stress is, how can we avoid it? •Manage your time: Allow yourself plenty of time to get places. We have all been stuck in traffic or been unable to get around people casually chatting in front of us as we make a mad dash for class. Leave early and allow time for such in­ conveniences. Regular study habits can prevent stress right before a test. If you study enough ahead of time, take the night before a test off and do something you enjoy. This reduces pre-test anxiety. •Proper nutrition: A variety of different types of foods is best. A reduction of caffeine and nocotine helps. Protein gives you energy while carbohydrates can in­ crease the feeling of fatigue. Avoid sub­ stance abuse. •Enough sleep: Being a college student means staying up late to write papers, or squeezing in some fun time after attend­ ing classes all day. Regular sleeping pat­ terns are recommended, but at least try to get enough sleep to feel rested. •Spend time alone:Take fifteen minutes each day and do something just for you. Turn off the phone and be by yourself. A relaxing bath, meditation, or keeping a journal are some ideas. •Do something you enjoy: Give your emotions as well as your body sometime to relax. Read or spend time with friends just talking. •Exercise: This is probably the most important thing you can do to relieve stress. Stretching and deep breathing also helps to relax you. Stress management programs will be held beginning Sept. 1 at 3 p.m. at the Wellness Center. Registration is not nec­ essary. To Assess Stress Add your scores from #1,6,7,9 and 13.

Thursday Atif^u 77 10Q% Coffee shop full of atmosphere By KATE HESS Appalachian Et Cetera Editor When people wake up in the mornings to venture to classes or the office, they usually need something toget them stimu­ lated for the long day ahead. Besides just eating a healthy breakfast, one needs to consume their daily dosage of caffeine, usually in the form of a hot cup of coffee. Because of this fact, a new coffee shop moved into Boone this summer. On King Street, among all of the original shops, is a small, quaint, while shop with green shutters. A sign labeled "beansTalk" hangs out front. Weathered posters advertising local musicians are taped to the inside of the window, yet what may first attract passersby is thequote painted inside; "Coffee is the beverage of thoughts, dialogue, and dreams." As soon as the door to beansTalk is open, one can smell a mixture of aromas. Hie air is full of the smell of coffee and freshly baked cakes and pies. Small tables. chairs, and stools fill the shop, while paintings and coffee mugs decorate the walls. BeansTalk has everything from espresso to Pepsi to drink, and fresh des­ serts, such as chocolate truffle mousse pie, Oreo pie, and of course, coffee cakes and danishes. Local musicians are wel­ come to perform, and often do, some­ times seven nights a week. This original coffee shop opened in Boone on May 18, and has been popular throughout the summer. It opens at 7 a jn. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. on Satur­ day, and 10 a_m. on Sunday, and remains open in the evenings until the customers leave. There is a Gathering Hour from 1 5pm everyday, with half-price espresso and cappuccino specials. BeansTalk is a definite welcome addi­ tion to Boone. It is a small shop tucked away in the mountains. Appalachian Photo by Sandra McKinney As the quote on the window reads, it is a place to talk, think, study, or just be. NEW COFFEE SHOP: A peaceful atmosphere and a wide variety of coffee are BeansTalk welcomes aspiring musicians, available at beansTalk, located across from the King St. and College St. intersection. artists, or just coffee drinkers to stop in for awhile.

AusuU 27. 1922 SPORTS ±A THE APPALACHIAN THURSOAY, August 27,1992 Appalachian football ranked fifth By PHIL McCARN Appalachian Assistant Sports Editor The 1992 football season promises to Be an exciting one for Appalachian State University. The Mountaineers come freshly off of a very successful year which included an 8-4 overall record, a Southem Conference Championship, and an appearance in the I-AA playoffs. This year's edition is now in the unenviable position of defending the SC champion­ ship and living up to the expectations that have been placed upon them nationally. The Mountaineers have consistently ap­ peared among the nation's top 25 teams, ranking as high as fifth in one I-AA poll. ASU Head Coach Jerry Moore, now entering his fourth year, does not feel threatened by the added pressure associ­ ated with the national exposure. "We're glad to be included in those top ten, fifteen, or twenty teams in the coun­ try," explains Moore, " but we want to ultimately end up there, it doesn't make any difference where we're picked right now." The Apps main goal this year is to repeat as Southern Conference Champi­ ons. This goal is no easy task in a league that Moore feels is one of the toughest in the nation. There are probably four or five teams that could come out and win it [the SC Championship],"Moore noted, "although Marshall seems to be everyone's favorite right now." In order to obtain success in the 1992 campaign, the Mountaineers will rely on the experience of 40 returning lettermen, 14 of whom were starters last year. The offensive backfield is an area of considerable depth and experience and will be lead by veteran signal-caller, D.J. Campbell. Campbell has started in every contest while at Appalachian and will be counted on to lead this relatively young grid-iron squad. "The leadership qualities in D.J. are really beginning to surface,"said Moore, "he (Campbell) has had a terrific fall camp and a good spring." Moore also expressed his confidence in junior backup quarterback, Andy Arnold who threw for 78yards on 6-of-10 passing in 1991. Also returning in theoffensive backfield is 1991 Southern Conference Freshman of the Year, Chip Hooks. Hooks ran for a school record 1,117 yards as a freshman and had five games with 100 yards or more, including 200-yard mark against Tennessee-Chattanooga. Along with the offensive backs, the defensive line and linebackers look to be another solid, proven area of the Appala­ chian State football team. This corps of players will be lead by Pre-Season All-American Avery Hall. Hall, a senior, has been a first-team AllSouthern Conference selection in each of his three seasons as a Mountaineer and is another of Moore's dependable players with experience in the "big games". Joining Hall on the defensive line are senior left end Sean Swoope, junior nose tackle Chris Holloway, and junior right end Kevin Sikorski. Heading up this year's group of line­ backers will be 1991 Southern Confer­ ence Defensive Player of the Year, Rico Mack. Mack enters his senior season for the Apps and could become the only Mountaineer to have received All-American honors for three consecu­ tive years. Brent David, who led the Apps with 113 stops last year, brings depth and ex­ perience to the inside linebacker position. The kicking game will, again, be a solid area with the return of I-AA leading punter, Harold Alexander. Alexander averaged 46.7 yards per kick as junior, including seven kicks of over 50 yards against Marshall. The placekicking chores will be put in the very capable hands of Jay Millson. Millson connected on all 21 of his extra point attempts in 1991 and has the expe­ rience needed in pressure situations to win football games. The only question mark for the kicking team will be in replacing long snapper Rock "Thomas. Moore felt that this is a great loss, not only for the snapping du­ ties, but for the coverage that Thomas supplied. "We've got three or four guys that are doing an adequate job," remarked Moore, "but if we would play a game today, I don't know who would start." As with all teams, no one will know how this edition of Appalachian State football will do until they actually play a football game. The seasonopens on Sept. 5 when the Apps travel to Raleigh for a non-conference clash with the Wolfpack of North Carolina State University. Moore commented, "North Carolina State will have one advantage in that they will have played one football game (vs. Iowa)." The Mountaineers travel to WinstonSalem the following week to take on nonconference rival. Wake Forest in their traditional grudge match. ASU has an open date the following week before be­ ginning defense of the SC title against East Tennessee State University on Sept. 26 in Boone.

Appalachian State cross country squads get ready for season Men aiming to challenge ETSU for Southern Conference title By LYDIA CRAVER Appalachian Sports Editor r . .A/jpaJachian State University's men's cross country squad is wrapping up pre season workouts and preparing to pursue a successful season under the di­ rection of fifth-year head coach A1 Fereshetian. The Mountaineers will look to senior captain Todd Walters and junior all-con­ ference performer Billy Pemberton to lead foe squad which hopes to contend with reigning Southern Conference champi­ ons East Tennessee State. "We will look to Todd and Billy to be our go-to guys. Others are looking really strong, but we have not really seenenough of (hem yet to make judgements about forir full potentials for the season," Fereshetian said. Other strong returning performers *>11 include senior Brian Watkins and sophomores Brian Miesch and Alan Whicker. The Apps will feature several freshflan and transfer recruits on the roster for foe upcoming season. Leading the way "uong the newcomers is Virginia nativ£ freshman Tommy Hollard.

Secondly, the squad is shooting for the Asheville, and Davidson. "Wake is traditionally strong, as is conference title. Far and ahead the team UNC-Charlotte, but they may not run to beat, according to Fereshetian, ETSU is highly favored to lead the conference. their top competitors and instead field a team they feel is competitive with us. In addition to returning a number of skilled and highly motivated runners UNC-Asheville has a young program and holding the conference title, the Bucs and a new coach and Davidson is not traditionally real deep.

Fereshetian said. Women strive to continue reign as Southern Conference champs By LYDIA CRAVER Appalachian Sports Editor The Lady Mountaineer cross country squad is preparing for what should be a very challenging season. Under the direction of ninth-year head coach John Weaver, the squad is coming off of their sixth consecutive Southern Conference title and their seventeenth consecutive combined cross country, indoor track and outdoor track title. Despite the dominating tradition the Lady Apps have developed within the conference. Weaver feels threatened this season by the Furman squad. "They are senior-loaded, tired of being defeated.highlymotiv at ed,ex­ perienced and have likely done every­ thing at all possible over the summer to make their squad emerge victorious as conference champions this season," Weaver said. Weaver feels that the Lady Paladins are definitely the favored squad this season. East Tennessee State and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga should also compete strongly according to Weaver. "Our only goal is to try to repeat as Southern Conference champions. We are not going to wony about the early season meets, yet place all of our focus on the conference title. It will be a big test to repeat against Furman. They are going to be so tough and will certainly be favored to win. If we do come out as conference champions for another season, it will be because we took the opportunity away from Furman. They are certainly capable of capturing the crown," Weaver said. Leading the way for the young team will be returning juniors Melanie Babb, Carrie Hogg and Nicole Disher who will offer a spice of experience and strong leadership qualities for the Lady Apps. Sophomore Dawn Wherenberg will also provide depth for the squad. Freshman recruits Suzanne Black of Sun Valley High in Matthews, Fran Eckels of Monroe Area High in Monroe, Geor­ gia, and Stephanie Warden of Abingdon High in Abingdon, Virginia, should also play key roles for the squad. Other factors in the success of the Lady Mountaineers will be the performances of sophomores Lone Pedersen and Leah Walker. 'These girlscould definitely put some strength into our team. They train well; we will just have to wait and see if they race as well," Weaver said, Senior Heidi Barger-Dotsoncould also be a major factor for the Lady Apps. A two-timeleltcrman, she is returning to the squad after taking a year off and according to Weaver, she could be the team's "ace in the hole." The performance of sophomore Jenni­ fer Sheets will also be a factor for Appa­ lachian State. The Lady Mountaineers will open the season at home on September 12 in a meet with the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, the University of North Caro­ lina at Asheville, and Davidson. "UNC-Charlotte is apretty strong team andtheyhavesomequalityrunners. UNCAsheville and Davidson should not be all that strong. It could go eitheT way be­ tween us and Charlotte and it will be a good time to see what we have got before the next meet, where we could possible meet Furman for the first time," Weaver said. The Lady Apps will go on to Lexing­ ton, Virginia to compete in the Virginia Military Invitational on September 26 before returning home to host a tri-meet with Wake Forest and Navy on October 3.

Returning are a num°f talented players from last year's New to the program this year will be ASU Head Coach Dave Markland. Markland will replace former head coach and Lady Mountaineer volleyball standout, Traci McGee, who left Appalachian to join her father's business. Markland, a native of Winston-Salem, received both his undergraduate and master's degrees in physical education from ASU before beginning to coach at the junior high level. After a six-year stint with this level and a two-year stint working with Junior Olympic squads, M arkl and joinedthe staff of UNC-Chapel Hill as an assistant. He remained at the university for three years before returning to ASU to serve as head coach. "I hope to keep this progTam at a very competitive level in the Southern Conference. I would alsolike to continue the tradition of making ASU one of 'the' teams to beat in the conference and also to get our program more exposure, possibly by strengthening the schedule featuring more Atlantic Coast Confer­ ence teams. Naturally, I hope to lead the team to a conference champion­ ship and post-season competition, hope­ fully eventually earning qualification for the NCAA tournament," Markland said. The Lady Mountaineers will look to senior tri-captains Joanne Myers, Rachael Wade, and Kim Nelson to lead the squad.

These students have paid the same housing payment as all other students on campus and they deserve the same housing as other students. Having a room where a student can feel safe and comfortable is not a privilege, but a necessity. Students living in triplesare being reimbursed $15 a week for up to six weeks. Fifteen dollars is small consolation for living in such cramped quarters. Betterplanning isrequired. Residence Life should notintentionally overbook students. Many students are attracted to Appalachian because of the comfort­ able "friendly" atmosphere of the campus, however, living in aconverted lobby is not part of this picture. Living in these conditions is not part of the image Appalachian tries to portray. The students living in converted seminar rooms and triples are not the only people inconvenienced by these arrangements. Residertt Directors and Resi­ dent Assistants are given additional students they did not plan for. Students hving in the residence halls no longer have a place to socialize in the dorms. Parents were forced to return with belongings that would not fit in the student's living quarters. If overbooking is to continue, Appalachian should plan accordingly. Like other North Carolina system schools, Appalachian should reserve rooms in "wtels and hotels around the area to place students in until permanent rooms become available. Although the months of August, September and October are Peak tourist months for Boone, that is not a reason why Appalachian can not book rooms early. Hanging asign reading"Penthouse Suite" on the door does not make it home. tors on Jan. 20,1964, he began by saying. "Our only client is the truth." Was the client properly served? Without the release of these files, we cannot make the judgment for ourselves. The government tells us the results of the Wwren Commission investigation, and we are then free to either believe or disbelieve. The government supplies no evidence to contradict its findings, and with no contradicting information, we surely must choose the easiest path—the one of belief. These joint Senate and House resolutions require that each executive agency of the United States submit all material concerning the assassination to a review board. That board will then decide whether or not the specific information contained in each individual document will be made public or kept secret. The resolutions provide exemptions for any materials which constitute an invasion of privacy to living persons, compromise national security or international relations, or compromise current techniques for protecting government officials, providing that disclosure is "so harmful that it outweighs any public interest in its disclosure." These files were not scheduled to be open for public inspection until the year 2029. This 65-year delay between creation and public distribution is standard procedure for all House and Senate proceedings that have not been made public officially. Given that the average life span of a human being is just over 70 years, we can figure by simple subtraction that only people who were around five years of age (or younger) when these events occurred would still be alive when the transcript of those actions finally comes into the public domain. Why must a government conduct itself in such a cloak of secrecy? If there were not a conspiracy to be hidden, why are there still secret files? It has been 28 years since the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Certainly many of the Warren Commission files w< have betrayed national security or invaded individu privacy at the time there were originally compiled, because of the rapid development and miniaturiz of electronic technology since 1965,1 suspect that five or six years many of the intelligence gathering techniques described in the Kennedy files had beco: obsolete. As the people whose private lives were y exposed in Kennedy investigation files died. Freedom of Information Act requests for their files should have been granted. What effect has popular culture had on the government's ability to keep secrets? Had it not beei:, j for the personal concern of director Oliver Stone an i. his movie, "JFK." nearly 1,000 boxes of unpublisheeTy information on the Kennedy assassination would not have found its way into the public domain until the t year 2029. You see, if there ever was any incriminate ; ing evidence in those Kennedy files indicating a conspiracy of the government, that information has ., long since vanished. Secret burglars, trained in secret programs, would have followed secret implication peoples' directions to secretly snatch the incriminating evidence and secretly replace it with evidence substantially less incriminating. Clandestine substitu­ tion of information would have avoided problems wit}, document inventory when the docu-ments would later become open for public inspection, there would simply be no cause for alarm. Soon we can expect to see relevant files on Kennedy's assassination come under public scrutiny.. Will we have to wait for more Oliver Stone to pop all over the country to call our national attention to thi« issue or that, so that we can more secret files released .!

This is an exciting and invigorat­ 8. ing time of the year when everyone is filled with anticipation for what lies ahead. So to all students, and especially our freshmen and transfers, I welcome you to our campus community. We here at Appalachian have a tre­ mendous numberof things to be proud of. We consistently rank high in the U.S. News and World Report ratings of col­ leges and universities. Our SAT scores continue to climb. We are now the third most competitive school for admission in the UNC system, and if current trends prevail, we'll soon become second. We have an excellent faculty and administra­ tion that both cares and listens. And we have themost beautiful location any cam­ pus would ever want. But above all we must remember that it is the students who comprise the single most important part of our campus com­ munity. For without the students, there would be no positions for professors, and our facilities would be nothing but shells filled with cold silence. Boone would be devoid of much of the culture, vibrancy and environmental awareness that makes this such a great place to be. As the elected leader of our student body, I cannot begin to tell you how important it is for us students to partici­ pate in shaping our future here at ASU. This is the world we will live in for the next fouror five years and it is incumbent on us to take a leading role. Student empowerment is the foundation of suc­ cess for our institution. We must take charge of our lives and be a part of the framework that shapes and affects us so directly. Those of us in student govern­ ment have risen to the challenge and we encourage every student on this campus tohaveavoiceinourfuture. Yourparticipation in the events that shape our lives is vital to the well-being of our university, our state and ultimately our nation. There are several ways that students may participate in determining their fu­ ture here at ASU. One of those is by becoming a student senator. The student senate is composed of 75 students from both on and off-campus backgrounds. These individual senators are charged with the responsibility of representing their constituents and collectively they are the voice for the-entire student body. The senate works through the SG A leadership to implement any legislation and/or ideas that they deem necessary and appropri­ ate. Our university administration recog­ nizes the SGA as being the official voice of the students on this campus. As presi­ dent, I then have the responsibility of presenting these ideas and legislation to the administration and ultimately the Board of Trustees of the University. I assure you, they do listen. I can't begin to teUyouthe undertakings. We will be taking great strides to open the lin& oLfcommunic«; tion with all concerned, be they faculty." administration, staff, or students.

TTje SGA formed a committee that exjroined student fees and created a propo»l that differed from the proposal of Appalachian State University adminatratkm. The Board of Trustees accepted Topics blaze controversy SGA's proposal rather than the administration's proposal, according to Ghent. "The Board of Trustees said our pro­ posal made some valid points, and I think this really got our foot in die door for future student fee discussions," Ghent said. Another project student government members worked on was a full-fledged constitutional review.This proposal took the judicial system out of SGA, Ghent said. Students will vote on the revised constitution next fall during senate elec­ tions. I Appalachian's Student Government Association was very active this year in the North Carolina Association of Stu­ dent Government. "We basically led that organization this year, and next year we have four officers in ASG," said Ghent. "All year we consistently had more Appalachian students attending the meetings." Ghent said that although a tremendous amount of bills were not passed by SGA this year, he feels that the SGA got a lot accomplished. "When I was vice-president, we passed something like 30 or 40bills, but this year — something we strived for was to take a very proactive view on things,"said GhenL "This year we did things with a phone call or a visit to someone instead of pass­ ing a bill. A bill is something you do when you can't do anything any other way. "If something needed to be done in the Food Services area, we would call Ron Dubberly or atop by to see him aid try to work things out that way," Ghent said. According to Ghent, this year theSGA accomplished more intricate projects than in past years. SGA developed new impeachment by­ laws this year as well as new election by­ laws. "We had a very experienced SGA this year, with several second-year members, and we figured this would be a good time to do some wholesale cleaning up for SGA," said Ghent. Ghent said he is pleased with the suc­ cess of SGA this year. "I feel we have had a very successful year, and although there are always things you wish you could have done but ran out of time, I think the year went gTeat,"said Ghent."I think you should always set your goals alittle higher Surveys show concerns Topics target Residence Life, Career Development By TRACY WILLIARD By AMANDA NELSON Appalachian News Editor Assistant News Editor A proposed increase in student fees, peek housing, and the Ku Klux Klan Mrch in Boone and Blowing Rock sparked controversy through the 19911992 academic year. These were some of the issues which divided students and caused sides to be •ken in heated debates. 'Student Fees Appalachian State University's Student Government Association sponsored ifee forum as a way to inform studentsof tie proposed fee increase. Only two ASU students attended the lee forum, which SGA Vice President Reggie Murphy attributed last semester ID ASU students' apathy or support of iheir fees. •Greek Housing Fifteen of 21 fraternities and sororities have voted on theproposal supporting the plwningofgreekhousing. Other Appala­ chian students and groups opposed greek housing. The {roposal consists of what the university commitments and greek require­ ments will be. The Board of Trustees will »ote on the proposal in May, and if it pisses, lodges for each individualchapter "ill be built behind the Broyhill Inn and Conference Center. 'Klan March Another controversial item Appala­ chian students dealt with this year was the "isrch of the Christian Knights of the Ku Hux Klan in Boone and Blowing Rock I on Easter Sunday. About 30-40 Klansmen participated in to march, while about 300 Boone citi2911 and ASU students turned out to oblerve the march. In peaceful opposition to the Ku Klux Han march, SG A sponsored a Friendship ^ that started at the Duck Pond Field, i continued through Sanford Mall. KLAN MARCHES ON BOONE: On EasteT Sunday, the streets of Boone were crowded with about35 Klansmen while 400 protesters crowded together to protest the Klu Klux Klan's beliefs. The Klan march was just one of the controversial issues students addressed this year. To combat this march, students unified for a Unity March and other activities. During the course of the semester, the ASU office of student development has conducted a series of surveys touching on such topics as student opinion, HIV, resi­ dence life and most recently, career de­ velopment •Career Development The March 23 career development sur­ vey found that students who work parttime, between 10-20 hours weekly, do better academically than students who do not work or work less than that. Graduating students surveyed in spring of 1989 said that part-time employment gave them practical career experience, taught them time management skills and flowed them to acquire new skills. The survey also foimd that during the past five years, 85 percentof ASU "s gradu­ ates were employed within nine months after graduation. An additional 11 per­ cent went on for an advanced degree, bringing the average total employment to 96 percent after nine months. •Student Opinion The student opinion survey found that 74 percent of students had never used ASU Freshman Akram Bargothi said 'ccently applied for a credit card "gh Citibank and now has his first ^ card and. $2,000 credit limit k 15 Parents did notco-sign, he said, but ,*** an unusually high credit ''story011 ^ P®®11'8 8°°d Cf^'1 J^R°lhi feels that it is too easy for H j* to obtain credit cards because bia ""c'havcjobsorsufficientmeans J** me credit card bills, cpresentatives Keith Winkler of Na1]^ ^ Aldridge of First traiv "^^^at college students are gen­ ii*'**1 credit risks, ntaliv h to AA'inkier, students nor8Ve 'ower credit limits on Visas iflhe!?lerc"rdsstarting at $300 vjn."~'c no *ith ik VC ^110 previous relationship e card company or bank.

Additionally, 17.3 percent indicated they used their representatives semesterly, 5 percent were used monthly and 4 percent weekly. Also, students surveyed werealso most pleased with the Quinn Center, the Learn­ ing Assistance Program, bookstore, li­ brary and Health Services, respectively. At Appalachian, students were moat satisfied with the professorial staff, with 20 percent indicating that as their prefer­ ence. Another 15.2 percent liked the cur­ riculum, with people, environment and class size compiling the rest of the list. Finances were also a newly found concern. Compared with fall 1990, the amount of students indicating finances as their most pressing personal problem doubled. •HIV The HTV survey pointed out that col­ lege students know how to prevent HIV transmission but often do not take those pecautions. However, there were no'avail­ able statistics for ASU because health services does not maintain health records showing students who are infected with HIV. See SURVEYS page 3 Alcohol remains the drug of choice on all college campuses BY AMANDA NELSON Appalachian News Editor Drinking and the abuse of alcohol is the number one problem targeting college campuses, said Dale Kirkley, substance abuse coordinates at the ASU Wellness Center. While ASU has not compiled statisti­ cal information about student alcohol use since a 1988 survey, Kirkleysaid national statistics reflect trends occuring on cam­ puses. Drunk driving accidents are the num­ ber one killer of Americans aged 18-24, according to BACCHUS, a national col­ lege-based alcohol abuse prevention pro­ gram. Other preventable incidents can be at­ tributed to alcohol, including dropouts, campus violence,risky sexual encounters and death, stated an announcement from the Office for Substance Abuse Preven­ tion. Also, 90 percent of all vandalism on college campuses are a result of drunken behavior, according to BACCHUS. Annually, typical college students spend more for alcohol than they do for textbooks, according to OSAP. Estimates guess that students spend $5.5 billion annually to purchase 430 gallons of alco­ hol beverages, according to OSAP. "What it comes down to is choices. Students have the ability to make choices when they are drinking," Kirkley said. "Our philosophy here at the Wellness Center is to educate students about abuses, as well as prevention informa­ tion." One workshop taught by Kirkley, Lifestyle Risk Reduction, deals with an individual analysis of the student's alco­ hol factors, such as biological factors. College students also engage in "binge drinking," which Kirkley says is five or more drinks in a row. In the ASU survey, ' the average respondent consumed about seven drinks per week. Six ty-eightpercentofrespondents drink at least monthly, and sometimes weekly and daily. Alcohol had thehighest amount of user statistics, followed by mari­ juana. Credit cards accessible to students fylAMYE ROBERTS Appalachian Staff Writer than you can attain, because if you don't you won't accomplish anything." Other events the SGA sponsored this year included a Unity Week and Friend­ ship Walk that were held before the Eas­ ter break in response to the Ku Klux Klan's march in Boone and Blowing Rock. The SGA also sponsored the largest food and clothing drive they have ever held for the Boone community. SGA also recommended the establish­ ment of a Chancellor's List for students with exceptionally high grade point aver­ ages, as well aa raising standards for the Dean's List First Union's Collegiate Banking pro­ gram requires a parent to co-sign for a student so that the parent is responsible for paying the bill if the student is in default, said Aldridge. This program offers students Visas with credit limits of S1,000 and no annual fees for the first year, said Aldridge. Also, most banks and card companies charge finance charges and late fees. For example. Nations Bank does not charge finance fees on a credit card bill if the payment is paid in full before the due date, but Nations Bank charges a finance fee of $10, and a $15 late fee ischarged on a bill 15 days after it is actually due, said Winkler. First Union does not charge interest fees if bilk are paid before the dates they are due, but a $15 fee is charged to late payments and to bills which exceed their credit limits, said Aldridge. Many banks also offer cash advances, including cash for money order and for­ eign currency at Nations Bank. Finance charges areone percent for cash advances through a bank or an automatic teller machine, but there is no grace period of 25 days, said Winkler. Interest is charged on cash advances beginning the day the cash is withdrawn, said Winkler. Banks set interest rates on credit cards according to the types of credit card pro­ grams. According to Winkler, interest rates on Visas and Mastercards through Nations Bank range from 14.9 percent to 17.9 percent. Standard interest rates of Visas and Mastercards at First Union are 18 percent, but they can be as high as 24 or 25 percent, said Aldridge. Aldridge suggests that students apply for a credit card through their bank, rather than a credit card company by mail, so that they will have someone available with whom to talk if a problem arises or if they want to raise the limit on their card. Credit history and income are two ma­ jor criteria which banks consider before issuing credit cards to applicants. Before an applicant is issued a credit card, a check of his credit record is done. A credit report lists a person's major accounts, notes the amount of credit a person has, the amount outstanding on each account, and a person's regularity in paying bills. Also, 78 percent of studentsdrank to be social, 75 percent enjoyed the taste, 59 percent drank to relieve tension while 58 percent drank to get drunk, according to the Appalachian survey. Kirkley attributed several factors to alcohol abuse, including psychological, social, stress, peer influence and develop­ mental issues. "The quantity and frequency of the alcohol consumption is really important to a person's health," Kirkley said. At ASU, 87.6 percent of the survey respondents had tried alcohol.

(CPS)—The chairmanof a 1-1 _ .1 stud ies department, a university football coach, a gay campus minister and a philosophy professor—these four have more in com­ mon than most would think. On the increasingly politically correct campuses of die 1990s, Leonard Jeffries, Bill McCartney, Rev. Peter John Gomes and professor Michael Levin have found themselves in the middle of an academic freedom fight that has more faces and sides than possibly imagined. Jeffries was die latest to feel the heatagain—when the City College Board of Trustees voted March 23 to have Edmund Gordon, a retired Yale University profes­ sor who served as the chairman of Yale's black studiesdepartment, replace Jeffries as chairman of City College's black stud­ ies program. Although Jeffries will remain at the *chool as a tenured professor, he has told The New York Times he will file a law­ suit against the school over the violation of his academic freedom.

According toLaRochelle, thereare two * major branches of thought concerning animal rights: Utilitarianism, which ad­ vocates the"greatest good for the greatest number," and the Rights Theory. The Righto Theory is based on the idea that humans are moral agents because they have free will and work hard, that animals are not moral agents, and that only moral agents should have rights. The abolition of animals in research, sports and hunting is equivalent to totally removing humans from nature, said LaRochelle. Giving rights to animals and making no choices for them does not actually benefit the aiimals, he said. Prohibitions on hunting deer in Princeton, NJ„ for ex ample, caiaedmaiy deer to become roadkill last year aid claimed several human lives, said LaRochelle. Without human intervention, deeroverextend their range, strip vegetation aid consume twigs which oontain intestinal flora that cause diseases in the deer, he noted. Students in favor of aiimal rights at­ tacked LaRochelle's stance regarding animals used for research, asking why some cosmetic products are tested on animals and other products me not. LaRochelle pointed out tha all cos­ metic products must be tested on animals in order to be approved by the Food aid Drug Administration. Any company which advertises "cru­ elty free labels on its products does not actually test the product on aiimals, but it purchases the label from a laboratory which tests the products on animals, said LaRochelle. Students also questioned LaRochelle about the number of animals which me u*ed in biomedical research every year. Twenty million dogs and cats were euthanized at animal shelters throughout the United States last year while the num­ ber of dogs and cats used in biomedical research last year was less than half that, LaRochelle pointed out Over 90 percent of those used in bio­ medical research last year were rats and mice while 1 percent were dogs and cats, said LaRochelle. Student advocatesof mimal rights also asked LaRochelle how the economic ar­ gument, such as the preserv*ion of wet­ lands, justifies the abolition of animal rights. The law of Mpply and demand applies to animals and is illustrated by an indif­ ference curve involving various animal as well as humai needs, said LaRochelle. Humans want to minimize animal suffer­ ing and maximize health, wmct, air and wetlands, he said. According toLaRochelle, a"final rough etpiilibrhim" would naturally result and lead to boom and bust cycles of both humans and aiimals. Such a result would not benefit humans or animals, he said.

Dillon Fence consists of the distinct vocals and guitarplaying ofGreg Humphreys, Kent Alphinon guitar and vocals, ChrisGoode on Bass and vocals and Scott Carle on (hums. Over the last year, Dillon Fence has played to sold out crowds all over the Southeast, including their last visit to Legends.The recent Dillon Fence shows are even more energetic than before, due to the release of "Rosemary." "Rosemary" was pro­ duced by veteran Ron St. Germain who has worked with U2, The Cure, Sonic Youth, Bad Brains and Soundgarden. The CD "Rosemary" has sold a tremendous amount of copies all over the South­ east and is getting airplay on college stations across the U.S. Joining Dillon Fence in Legends will be the Kentucky based band Big Wheel. Yes, Big Wheel, defined as being a melodic but hard driving band, not what your grandpa buys you for your third birthday. Prom a humble beginning in Kentucky, the members of Big Wheel emerged from the bandsThe Ivy Beats and Squirrel Bait. Now guitaristGlomTaylor, bassist Mike Braden, drummer Tom Tompkins and vocalist Peter Searcy deliver a unique brand of powerful rock and roll that will give you goosebumps. Big Wheel like Dillon Fence, records on Mam­ moth records which is based in Canboro, N.C. Mammoth is an independent label that specializes in young upcoming bands like Dillon Fence and Big Wheel. Mammoth has been voted by college radio sta­ tions as being one of the best independent labels in the country. The reputation and success of Mam­ moth should carry Dillon Fence and Big Wheel 10 stardom. Thursday's Dillon Fence and Big Wheel show will definitely be one of the hottest double bills to appear in Legends since Dillon Fence opened for the Connells two years ago.

Course of Empire has North Carolina Roots Special to the Appalachian Dallas-based Course of Empire isn't your ordi­ nary rock & roll band. This is a group with a philosophical and moral agenda, named after paint­ ings by 18th century environmentalist artist Tho­ mas Cole, depicting the cyclical rise and fall of industrial civilization, from ashes to ashes anddust to dust. Their's is an apocalyptic vision, using high technology guitar and primitive tribal drums to express the conflict between nature and science that is at the heart of modem society, equally influenced by Eastern philosophers and groups like U2, Killing Joke and the Clash. The roots of the band go back eight years to 1984, when co-founders Mike Graff and since- departed drummer Anthony Headley hooked up in the film department of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, where they shared an interest in ambient video soundtracks. They soon began playing music in the TV studio, and advertised jn local record stores for a vocalist "with an interest in vegetarianism and ideas concerning the mass consciousness," which caught the eye of North Carolina native Vaughn Steven­ son, recently relocated to Dallas from Cali­ fornia. "Vegetarianism is just a symptom of a thought process we all share in the band," says Vaughn. "It's all about individual action. You're never going to stop people from selling meat or killing animals, but you can control where your money goes and what you put in your mouth." The idea that the individual can make a differ­ ence, that the micro can affect the macro, is at the heart of Course of Empire's point of view and music. Live, the band believes in making its audi­ ence part of the show by handing outdrums during the tribal stomp "Thrust," gathering one and all in communal, ecstatic experience that reflects the current interest in getting back to humankind's true nature as seen in such phenomena as the "men's movement." "It's our desire to let go and not try to predict, control and analyze," says Graff. 'These ideas are all clicking in people's heads at the same time for a reason.Stuff like this just means we're all hurting in the same way. Adding bassist Paul Semrad and a second drum­ mer m Chad Lovell, Course of Empire became one Auditorium face lift of Dallas' hottest post-punk outfits, placing the track "God's Jig" on a 1990 compilation of area bands, "Dude You Rock." The track inspired a bidding war between two local labels won by current manager Allan Restrepo's Carpe Diem Records, who signed the group and put them into the studio to record their debut.

Performances during the 1992-93 season will be held in I.G. Greer Arena Theater or in Farthing Auditorium. Chapell Wilson Auditorium was originally a high school gymnasium-auditorium built as a WPA project during the Franklin D. Roosevelt adminis­ tration. The well-worn facility has provided avari­ ety of challenges for directors and actors. 'When I first came to Appalachian in 1975, it would snow inside the auditorium," said Dr. Susan Cole, chair of the theater and dance department. "They had to keep the eaves to the building open to keep air circulating, and it would snow right through the lighting positions. Students would come to class with overcoats and mittens on." Theater patrons, too, have braved cold tempera­ tures as noisy heaters are turned off before a pro­ CONSTRUCTION ON CHAPELL WILSON TO BEGIN THIS SUMMER: Chapell Wilson Hall duction begins. will see some changes this summer.

The Appalachian State University Department of Theater and Dance invites you to "An Evening of One Acts."Two one act plays will be presented April 30-May 2 in the Greer Arena Theater with performances beginning at 8 p.m. The first show oftheevening is Romulus Limey's "Sand Mountain Matchmaking," directed by jun­ ior theateT major Darrell King. The year is 1836. Rebecca Tull, played by freshman theater major Amy Lotfy, is a young widow and a newcomer to the community of Sand Mountain. Under pressure to remarry, Rebecca meets with three prospective suitors. Clink Williams played by junior theater major Stephen Corbett, Slate Foley played by sophomore theater major Derek King and Radley Nollins played by sophomore theater major Joseph Daniels. The trouble is, none of the suitors suit her. Rebecca finds help from an elderly woman by the name of Lottie Stiles, played- by junior theater major Jenny Walton. Lottie comes to visit, bring­ ing her grandson, Vester, played by freshmanCarlon Fields. After following Lottie's advice, Rebecca does indeed get rid of her current suitors. She then meets Sam Bean, played by Senior Nick Asa, a local farmer, who is everything that the other suitors are not Assistant director for the show is junior theater major Catherine Van Gorden, and Jim FusseU, a sophomore theater major, is the stage manager. 'The Tears of My Sister" is oneof two"camera" room study with real assignments and trips to plays written by Horton Foote, who later wrote the major media offices. award winning screenplay for Harper Lee's 'To For more philosophic tastes, the Institute for Kill a Mockingbird."

ONEpagi e6 Students spend some strange summers (CPS)—U.S. colleges are preparing for an on­ slaught of summer scholars who will converge on campuses to attend institutes, take seminars, or leave for unknown parts for the pleasure of learning. Whatever the passion—to track wolves in the wild, climb the ruins of ancient Greece, study computers OT debate AynRand—most likely, there is a summer class doing just that. For example, more than 300 students gather at Cornell University's Ithaca, N.Y., campus, which has one of the largest summer programs of its kind in the U.S., to soak up culture and get away from it all. Cornell invites inquiring minds to study with "Cornell's best professors" and to explore every­ thing from "'50's Culture" to "James Joyce" to the "U.S.S.R.: From Khrushchev to the Common­ wealth" and dozens of other courses. Many campuses offer "total immersion" in a field of study for several weeks at summer insti­ tutes and seminars. For example. New York University's Summer Institute in Public Relations is scheduled for June 7-20. The program for recent college graduates and college seniors is an intense, two-week study in communications. Students hear discussions by public relations professionals and professors while combining class­ �The Annalarhian ThurtHny. Anril M /(Xfl fw Auditorium Continued from page S "Our biggest problem with this facility has been the lack of heating «xi cooling," Cole said. "When I learned we were get­ ting money to renovate, the first thing I asked was "can we have heat?'" The renovation will be finded from $12.3 million appropriated in 1991 by the General Assembly for renovations 4 * and repairs at the UNC system's 16 c*n' "puses. "There have been many frustrations with the rundown facility," Cole said, -fit's not big enough to house our |growing program, for props or perforUmances." i The renovations, designed by Dr. Frank Mohler, director of theater, will greatly nprove the theater's existing space. The jimp theater's entrance will be moved to what is now the stage area, creating a lobby separate from the academic area of the building Architects for the project are Calloway, Johnson and Moore in Winston-Salem. The project will be bid in May with reno­ vation work to begin sometime this sum­ mer. The project wfll take a year to com­ plete. The plans include new restrooms, new dressing rooms and a green room. The facility's current dressing rooms, Im-ma in the building's basement, are subject to frequent flooding. Students will no longerhave to balance on ladders tohang aid focus theater lights. "One of the nicest features about the reno­ vated theater will be the installation of a catwalk system," Mohler said. "Not only One will hanging lights be much safer, it wfll be quicker loo." "Frank's plan gives us a theater like many of the newest theaters being built in •J* state," Cole said. A proscenium thrust stage will move performances closer to audiences aid will allowa variety of plays to be produced as the stage's width can be vaied from 34 to 50 feet T»r mrim.t, arraigement means the last row of seats will beno more than33 feet from the front of the stage. Seating in the new 344-sea theater will be raised, providing improved sight lines for the audience. While the renovation is in progress, faculty and students will teach, rehearse and performin a vaicty ofloc«ions across campus. The show will go on, but with great difficulty," Cole said.

Fereshetian alsosighted hissquad's overcoming of a number of injuries to key athletes throughout the season which impeded on the overall perfor­ mance of the team. "I was very pleased with the outcome looking at the injuries and physical setbacks we have dealt with. What could have once been a very easy victory turned into a race that we had to compete and fight for," Fereshetian said. The Mountaineers, according to Fereshetian, gave up anywhere from 50 to 60 points with the loss of Jon Fullen, Linell Johnson, Steve Simandle and Jamie Gnggs, who all missed portions of the season due to various injuries. Second-place finishers for the Apps included Lawrence Lloyd, Joe, Watts, Dustin Alfred and Dennis Gutknecht. LJoydclocked14.81 in the 1 IO­ meter hurdles and went on to finish third in the400meter hurdles with a time of 56.68. Joe clocked 48.43 in die 400 meters, and Watts clocked 10.7 in the 100-meter dash to also finish second. Alfred set a persona] best time of 1:54.36 in the 800-meters and Gutknecht landed 15' in the pole vault good for a second place finish. Ryan Thiel captured the only other third-place finish for ASU as he posted a 6' 4" mark in the high jump. All of the competitors finishing in the top three of their events were named all-conference. Other strong performances for the Mountaineers came from Brian Miesch in the 5,000-meter run with a personal best 14:58.83 clocking to finish fourth. Fifth-placefinishers includedTodd Walters, Alan Whicker, Frank Allen and Neil Broudtx. Walters finished at 9:28.45 in the 3,000-meters and also placed sixth in the 1,500-meters with a time of 4:02.56. Whicker finished in a personal best 3:59.89 to finish fifth in the 1500 meters while Aller clocked 10.7 in the 100-meter dash.

By WILL ROTHSCHILD Sports Editor X11 sat down to pump out the last (thank flod!) sports column of the year, I at firat flight that a sentimental journey back through to year in sports would be the most appropriate upic. But then, like the light bulb above the coyote's head, another idea came to me. (No, it toem't involve ACME.) After all, I'm not that good at all at that notional, sentimental, great job guys, hoorah, boorah crap. Not that I don't like to write ibout great sports stories, and it's not that tore wasn't some awesome athletic feats swmtplished by several Mountaineer teams to year. It's just that my mind started wandering, and I begMi to ponder some of life's greater questions it. Can anyone beat die Bulls? Will the Braves rin the World Series this year? Can anyone tell ik where this column is heading? WeD, the answers to all three questions, in older, are: heck no, probably not, and I doubt it What's my point? Well, my point is, no matter tow hard I tried, I always came back to Mountaineer athletics. No matter how hard I tried to crane up with atother topic, I was always drawn back to ASU gorts. I only wish the rest of the student body would do the same. Attendance and overall fan support of Appalachian athletic teams is pathetic. And I ta't understand why. It's not like the Mounlineers don't field competitive athletic teams. UU is one of the more consistent programs in ie Southern Conference. I mean, what else do you dorks have to do in Boone?

Follow­ ing the Thundering Herd were Western Carolina with 98, Virginia Military Institute with 86, and East Tennessee State with 77 1/2 points. Furman, ne Citadel and Davidson rounded out the meet with 28, 20 and 11 points respectively. ASU captured seven first-place finishes in the meet as they were led by freshman Jason Dalton who captured two individual wins to be named SC Freshman of the Year. Dalton clocked a personal best 21.6 second, in the 200-meter dash and a 10 6 in the 100 meter dash to finish first. He went on to anchor the winning 4-X-100 meter relay team with teammates Andy Raynor, Leander Watts and Eric Joe. Seniors Rob Grant and Kediick Ford also fin­ ished first for ASU with Ford winning the 110meter hurdles in a personal best time of 14.68 second, and Grant winning the javelin with a throw of 195'. Grant also finished fourth in the hammer with a personal record throw of 153", and Ford finished fourth in the long jump at 20' 4 1/4".

Freshman Rich Grant picked up the remaining first as he threw a personal best 168' 1" in the hammer. ASU Head Coach A1 Fereshetian was pleased with the performance of the Mountaineers.

WARD Appalachian Editor-in-Chief 1 With the last day of classes coming up this Monday (so soon!), and students beginning to feel the stress of up­ coming exams, the 1991-92 school year is drawing to a close. It's gone by too quickly, but that's not unusual during college years. We stay too busy to try to figure out where the time has gone. It's only after we graduate that we really look back and wonder how in the world our college years could have flown by before we had a chance to ask where they went. (I m graduating next year; I can start being nostalgic early.) This year has had its share of events, both usual and extraordinary. Among the usual were Homecoming and Yofest. Homecoming drew a huge crowd in spite of the 30-degree temperatures, and the ASU football team won a beautiful victory over Mississippi College, who called two timeouts within the last three minutes. Attempting to apply closure to my experience as editor-in-chief of The Yofest is another annual event at ASU; this year I ippalachian is a difficult task to accomplish. The position, the newspaper and didn't attend so I can't really comment on it. One of my tpeople have meant more to me this year than mere words can describe.The lowledge and experience gained from serving this year's staff is so vast I feel writers left me a note referring to the event as "Yofest/ Yofiop/Nofest." Evidently the attendance wasn't very y attempt to communicate its scope will fall tremendously short of accep- high. This is sad. Was it the weather? Did people assume that because it was free, it wasn't going to be any good? Perhaps the biggest event of the year was Unity Week, set up to protest the Ku Khix Klan march in Boone or Easter Sunday. ASU should be commended for the high participation in Unity Week, especially in the Unity March that Tuesday. This year also brought many controversies. On the local level, the controversy over the Student Activity Center, which was really full-blown last year, carried over into this year. Students are still protesting the center, and the administration is stiD planning to build it. W)K> knows if a solution will be reached that will be agreeable to both parties? The controversy will probably cany into next year. Another issue that carried over from last year was the issue of the senior class gift Last year, the Senior Com­ mittee chose as a gift a gazebo, to be built near the administration building in honor of the Broyhill family. This decision sparked many protests, with students de­ manding why the committee chose to build a gazebo that the school didn't need when there were so many other things the school did need. This year, the Senior Committee made a wise decision and chose as a gift a library fund.This fund is desperately needed and will benefit many students for years to oome. Another hotly-debated issue of this year was that of greek housing. Last year, another residence hall. Cone Residence Hall, was designated greek, whereas it had formerly been an all-male residence hall. However, the entire hall was not designated greek; two floors remained independent A controversy was sparked when the greeks requested the two remaining floors of Cone. The greeks want to foster community among their organizations by living together on the same floor. Those against greek housing say it is not fair to take already-scarce housing away from those who aren't members of greek organiza­ tions. Land has been allocated above Broyhill Inn for a "greek village," in which the greeks would live together in lodges. This project would be funded by the greeks. Although this seems to be an effective compromise, the controversy over greek housing will probably continue into next year. Another controversial issue of this year developed from the proposal to make fifth-year students pay out-ofstate tuition whether or not they are actually out-of-state students. This proposal was protested became of the unfairness to people who double-major or whose majors require more hours than can reasonably be completed in four years. Of course, on the state and national level, this is election year.The controversy over who should beelected will take on more importance in the fall, with the general elections coming up in November. However, with prima­ ries on May 5, people have already started voicing their opinions over who should and should not win. Sexual crimes became an issue this year with the Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill hearing in the fall and the William Kennedy Smith trial in the spring. Of course we all know that Clarence Thomas got the position of Su­ preme Court justice, and Smith was declared innocent. However, many people still believe that Anita Hill told the truth whenshe said thatThomas sexually harassed her 10 years ago when they worked together on the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission. Patricia Bowman's story has quite a few loopholes; however, several groupsstill commend her forspeaking out, whether she was telling the truth or noL The school year 1991-92 has been aneventful one both on local and national levels. For ASU students it was another year of college, either good or bad, routine or exciting. To thegraduating class of May 1992—good luck in the real world; I hope it's as exciting or more exciting than college has been. For those of us who are returning next year—let's make it another great year. ice. This marks the conclusion of a three-year stint on The Appalachian editorial ard for this aspiring journalist. I have given three years of my life to this wspaper, and can honestly say the experience is one I will never forget, nor aild ever replace.

Good luck and may God bless. he reward for work well done is the opportunity to do more. By CHRIS SEXTON Appalachian Staff Writer First, I want to distinguish between greek housing and a greek floor. A greek floor is a floor, consisting mostly of greeks, located in a current residence hall. The greek housing proposal seeks to build a greek village, entirely for greek use. The proposed site for the greek village in­ cludes at least part of the environmental studies area. (Remember the SAC?) The administration, if it accepts the proposal, will lease this land to the greeks for a mere $1.00 per year.Since when can the administration give our land to a stu­ dent organization without the permission of the student body as a whole? Also in the proposal is the declaration that "the uni­ versity will be responsible for site devel­ opment including such items as: road­ ways, surveying land, grading land, sewer lines, electric lines, water lines, phone services, parking facilities and other com­ mon services." The administration will also hire an architect to develop the site and building plans. I wonder where the money is going to come from to do all this. From whose pocket did the administration grab $1,000,000 for the SAC? Yours. The greek village isn't just a couple of greek residence halls—it consists of lodges. "A lodge is defined as a building structure of sufficient size to accommo­ date the needs of the individual organization, including such things as: a social room, chapter room, kitchen, par­ lor room,..." I don't see these things as something an organization could need; I see them as luxuries. How many people do you think one of these lodges might house? 100? 200? A single lodge houses 4 to 8 people. —Jonas Salk, M.D. —Peggy Noonan You know, I was just thinking how the administration ought to give me and seven of my friends a nice piece of land, hire some architects, build us some roads, construct electricity, water and phone lines, give us a parking lot nearby, and help us build a lodge.Then I realized thai only greeks are being considered for that luxury. I guess if I belonged to an organi­ zation with lots of money and rich alumni, the administration might be extra nice to me too. Should greeks alone—only about 10 percent of the student body—decide what happens to the environmental studies area, and where the university's money and resources go? No, the entire student body together should decide what happens to their land, their resources and their money. Call the chancellor;call the vice chancel­ lors; voice your opinion. This brings me to a separate but related issue. Are greek floors a good idea? My first impulse was to support the idea. As a resident assistant, I realize the impor­ tance of community on a floor. On most floors, students begin the year as total strangers, having no commonality beyond location. On a greek floor, stu­ dents begin the year with a common thread; a senseof community is already in place. Greek floors only encourage that sense of community identity which greeks al­ ready seem to feel, and give it a place to flourish. Indeed, if the above argument is correct, why limit ourselves to greek floors? Why not provide floors for all the clubs and organizations at the university? we could have a floor for computer sci­ ence majors,a floor for Students Actively Volunteering for the Environment (S.A.V.E.X a floor for theCollege Repub­ licans, a floor for the Black Student Asso­ ciation, a floor for the women's basket­ ball team. If the value is giving existing commu­ nities a floor to grow on, clubs and orga­ nizations should also have floors of their own. Residence life has expressed open­ ness to the idea of club housing, though they have no system as of yet for imple­ menting it I encourage you to call resi­ dence life if you are interested in forming a floor for your club or organization. My belief is that if greek floors are a good idea, then so are club floors, and that the administration should be promoting the latter as well as the former. But then again, the university sacri­ fices something for greek and club floors. When I moved to East Hall last year. I brought with me a number of stereotypes. One was a stereotype of greeks. My room­ mate last year, and one of my colleagues on R.A. staff, are greek. He helped me overcome my prejudice. Because I've lived m «residence hall I've met people in ROTC, lesbians, business majors, mem­ bers of the wrestling team, members of SGA, Republicans, Socialists, music majors, band members, etc. The Experi­ ence of diversity is one of the most impor­ tant aspects of a college education. The isolation of greeks, or any other group, by segregated floors restricts this experience of diversity. Non-greeks have less and less experience of what greeks are really like, and as such any stereo­ types they carry remain unchallenged. Greek stereotyping of non-greeks is simi­ larly perpetuated. The same dangers ap­ ply to club floors. When every organiza­ tion is isolated to its own satisfaction, what can be gained? The opportunity to experience and leant from difference will disappear. The opportunity to stereotype, to misunderstand, to objectify, to become prejudiced, will grow. In defense of East Hall; The Watauga College program, housed in East, is built around the idea of diverse, interdiscipli­ nary education. One of the central ideas is that there is no distinction between living space and learning space, hence students live in the same building where they "k* classes. Professors' offices are also lo­ cated in East. A significant percentage of East residents are non-Wataugan. East Hall is a model for diversity and integra­ tion—integration of professors into the student living space, of different disci­ plines into single classes, of freshmen rod upperclassmen, of men and women in a co-ed building. Perhaps one day the entire university will be so integrated. Greek/club floors are segregationist, even if a group chooses to isolate itself. If Christians, or blacks,or anyone wanted to segregate themselves for whatever rea­ son, would we, as a public tmiversity, condone such a privatization of suppos­ edly public space? And segregation does not have to be of the minority. Would we allow whites, or heterosexuals, or anyone to segregate themselves for whatever reason? Greek/club floors are equally unac­ ceptable. The question is not, "What are the motives for segregation?** The mo­ tives may be somewhat legitimate. (Strong communities, etc.) The question is, "Do we believe in segregation?" "Does free­ dom in a university mean freedom not to live with people different from us?" In summary, the issue of greek/club floors motivates two main responses. If we accept that greek floors are a good idea, we should also encourage and pro­ vide floors for other clubs and organiza­ tions. However, isolating communities in the university threatens the diversity of individuals which would otherwise en­ rich our college experience. Such isola­ tion alsoperpetuates stereotypes and preju­ dice, and finally, violates the basic prin­ ciples of an integrated society.

Wit is a function of verbal ntelligence; humor is imagination °perating on good nature. L Specialized housing encourages segregation First—everything seems to be back to normal. I'm attending classes, and there have been no further strikes. It's really a bad situation because the students have no choice. They must not argue any further or they will be expelled. Something like 73 students have already been expelled. They ordered all students to sign a "contract" declaring that they wanted to be university students, and would abide by certain rules; if they did not sign, they were "discontinuing" themselves form the university. The 73 who didn't sign the ones who were expelled. They are appealing to a government court, but the court won't listen! They'll do whatever the president wants. It's bad. Let me tell you how wonderful Africa is! It's gorgeous and impossible to explain. I'm so lucky. I don't know if I mentioned him before but one of my professors. Dr. Tim Reynolds, has been really helpful with classes and getting situated. Well, he's a supervisor of a dig that an archaeology student is doing near Dakawa, north of Morogoro— three hours from here. Well, I heard about it and mentioned I'd be interested in volunteering to work at the site. Well, this past weekend I went out there with two other students, Dave Guttenfilder from the University of Iowa and Mark from Oregon and Reynolds. We left Saturday morning and arrived around noon. It's a realh rich site; they've found quartz and decorate pottery from the late Stone Age to the Iron Age. I was so im­ pressed. It's hard to understand something like archaeology until you see it first hand. I was looking at their work, amazed that I truly understood what all that was said and what all those rocks meant. Well, anyway, I couldn't start working this past weekend because this site is being carefully watched and regulated by Tanzanian officials. If I want to touch anything, I must be signed in as a worker. Reynolds is arranging this, and I'm planning to head out again next weekend. Not being able to work turned out to be good because we jumped into the Samurai and went exploring! We went to Morogoro and shopped at the famous Morogoro market. I was there an hour and only visited 5 percent of the market. I found a gorgeous rust and brown tablecloth and curtain set for only S3.00. I've got it all up in my room now. I'm in my permanent room, but no roommate, so I decided to make the most of it I put one of the beds away, moved some furniture in, and now I have my apartment. One desk is my kitchen, the other is for reading and writing. I also bought some ebony carvings and will get a rug and paintings for the wall this week. I even have two chairs. Anyway, after the market we drove around and through the Uluguru mountains. They're the most unique mountains I've ever seen. Not like the See FOREIGN page 10 �The Appalachian. Thursday.

They look like bowling balls on a beach. We all got • thirsty, so we stopped at an outdoor restaurant for some Safaris—African 'beer. I think that you'd like this beer, .Dad, and the bottles are huge—over a "liter, I think. We were sitting there in lawn chairs .next to a garden, with goats and 'chickens scrambling around us and the Uluguru mountain beside us. I told •Mark that he'd better not pinch me and wake me up from this incredible dream. ! After the beers, we headed back to .the site. The student working there, [Kimate, has been given the use of a little adobe house owned by the person .who owns the land. The site actually sits on a huge cattle ranch in the middle [of the bush, and the house is there for •ranch hands. Kimate had planned to live in a tent, but rumors are that .elephants like to knock down the tents there, and he got worried. Thus, the house. It isn't much, but it was a great honor for him to be able to offer us cots, meals and an outhouse. Three guys stayed in one room, three guys in another, and me in the third—the ''living room" really. Not many women go out there to work, so I was quite the novelty. They said I was a breath of fresh, new air and would I please come back?! They were so nice. When we got ready to leave the site, I told Kimate to make out a shopping list for supplies he needed, and we'd bring them the next time we came. He Wrote one out and gave it to Reynolds. It said: 2 kilos rice 1 kilo tomatoes 1 kilo cabbage Please bring Karla! I was so embarrassed... Reynolds has been here a year already, so he knows the country very well. He said that if we got a good early start Sunday morning, that we would head south of Morogoro to Mikumi National Game Reserve. We got on the road by 8:30, so south we headed. We drove a good hour and a half and arrived at Mikumi. In Tanzania, visitors must pay to enter the parks—something like 1600 tsh, but because the Trans Africa highway runs through the park, anyone on the highway doesn't have to pay! So, we drove up and down thf road, looking at the scenery and the incredible wildlife. The animals come right up to the road and to the vehicles. No people are allowed to settle inside the park boundaries, and the animals are everywhere. We saw baboons, wildebeest, elephants (one female had a tiny baby), giraffe, wild pig, impala and tons of zebra. There were so many zebra, they actually got boring. Can you imagine? And the giraffes were so entertaining. They were just as curious about us as we were about them. One giraffe was crossing the road, and we stopped and pulled off the side. It stared at us, then came over to my side of the Samurai, about 20 feet away, and stared at me. It cocked its head one way, then the other. It stared at me, with me staring at it, for 10 minutes. I'm glad I had my camera. I have about a roll of animals staring at me. With classes beginning, I hope I can start to think seriously about my honors thesis. It's all still jumbled in my head. I don't know what I want to do. Between classes, learning Swahili, and the site at Dakawa, I don't know when I'll do it As far as books go, there are a couple that you could look for that I know Problems after an abortion? would be real useful. I don't know the publication date on this. Anything you find on the Quaternary and Tertiary also. The book written here is excellent in particular for the one archaeology class, tut the book situation isn't too bad. The archaeology department is pretty international, and I think that keeps them stocked in their librvy. They just don't have any to sell, and there's only one of each. Cultural anthropology is a different story. Here, all of cultural goes under the sociology department, which is overcrowded and underlibraried. I guess I'll just have to write my own book while I'm here. Real modest, huh? I can't believe it has been five weeks already. It's going to fly by. And so much to do. I have to see Seregeti, Ngorongoro, Kilamanjaro and Olduvai gorge! Well, it'll all fall into place.

COMMENTARY p. 9 ASU star safety NFL bound P-7 THE APPALACHIAN FAIRNESS, ACCURACY AND PUBLIC SERVICE SINCE 1934 Undergrad enrollment is at highest By TRACY WILUARD Assistant News Editor Appalachian State University underpjduate enrollment reached its highest Spring semester level at 9,925 in Spring 1992, according to a memorandum from j„bby H. Sharp, director of institutional search at Appalachian. This figure was up 0.8 percent over Spring 1991. Undergraduate full time jnrollment reached 9,491, up 1.5 percent over Spring 1991. Last fall, graduate enrollment fell by 26 students, and this spring graduate en­ rollment fell by 3.8 percent from last spring to 781. Graduate on-campus full time enrollment fell 0.6 percent to a total of 649. Although graduate enrollment figures across the nation are showing substantial increases attributed to the sluggish economy, Appalachian is not experienc­ ing such an increase. Last semester Sharp said that he is not exactly sure why Appalachian's total graduate enrollment is continuing to go down. Grads walk on May 17 According to the memorandum, enrollment targets for this spring in­ cluded 110 new freshmen, 290 new transfers, 100 new graduate students, and 125 new unclassifieds, for a total of 625 new students. Nine thousand seven hundred and ninety six continu­ ing students and 326 returning stu­ dents were expected. Returning students are students who have been readmitted to the university after at least one semes­ ter "stop out.".The total on-campus en­ rollment target for Spring 1992 was 10,747. high of 10,706 students. Total on-campus full time enrollment also reached a spring semester high of 10,140, up 1J percent over last spring. The spring headcount was 41 students less than the target enrollment of 10,747. The total number of undergraduate women enrolled at Appalachian decreas­ ed from 5,014 last spring to 4,948 this spring. The total number of undergraduate men at ASU increased from 4,760 last spring to 4,900 Spring 1992. According to the piemo, the number of in-state undergraduate students increas­ ed from 8,865 last spring to 8,925 this spring. The number of out-of-state under­ graduates increased by 14 students to 923. The totaloff-campus enrollment of 403 represented a decrease of 48, or 10.6 percent from last spring. The 1991-92 average annual full time enrollment used for budgeting in­ creased to 10,433, or 33 over the gen­ eral assembly's projection of 10,400 stu­ dents. Persistence pays off in job search ASU News Bureau ASU News Bureau Appalachian's spring commencement rill be held May 17. Some 1,069 underpiduate and 164 graduate students ap­ plied to receive degrees from the six de­ gree-granting colleges and schools.

Walker College of Business at 4 p.m. in Varsity Gym. New studenton-campus enrollment was 608, including 112 new freshmen and 307 new transfers. This figure is 39.4 percent higher than the436 new students at Appa­ lachian last spring. Continuing on-campus enrollment reached 9,765, which was 0.3 percent below projections. Returning student en­ rollment was 2.1 percent over projection, at 333 students. According to the memo, total oncampus enrollment increased by 0.5 percent over Spring 1991, reaching a Spring semester on-campus enrollment appatecMwi Rl* Photo COLD WEATHER STRIKES UNEXPECTEDLY: Below normal tern peratures in Boone over the weekend and into the first part of this week took some people by surprise. High temperatures today are expected to be in the mid 40's, and there is a 50 percent chance of snow mixed with rain. Temperatures are expected to rise a little Wednesday, with highs in the 50's. Persistence and perseveranceare words a soon-to-be college graduate should re­ member when beginning a job search. "It takes anywhere from six to nine months to secure that first career position," said Dr. David Ball, director of Appalachian State University's Career Development Center. "I encourage students to start the process as early as possible." Ball said students are apprehensive about their futures because of uncertain­ ties in the economy. "Nationwide this has been the third consecutive decline in hir­ ing," he said. "There are opportunities out there, but persistence is the key to suc­ cess." According to"Recruiting Trends 199192" by Dr. Patrick Scheetz of Michigan State University, employers responding to this year's survey expect a 10 percent decrease in hiring. Employment op­ portunities in government and the mili­ tary are expected to drop 20.7 percent. Employers expecting to increase hiring of new college graduates this year in­ clude construction and building contrac­ tors (97 percent); glass, packaging and allied products (36 percent); social ser­ vice, religious and volunteer organiza­ tions (29.5 percent); hospitals and health care services (20.6 percent); electronics. computer andelectrical equipment manu­ facturers (20 percent); engineering, re­ search, consulting and other professional services (15.6 percent); textiles, home furnishings and apparel manufacturers (12.6 percent); merchandising and retail­ ing (11 percent); diversified conglomer­ ates (5.6 percent); and accounting firms (5.4 percent). Despite a downturn in the economy, Appalachian graduates continue to be successful in entering the job market. A survey conducted by Appalachian's Of­ fice of Student Development showed an average of 96 percent of the university's graduates during the past five years were employed or in graduate school within nine months of graduation. Students should begin planning for a job search early in their academiccareers, Ball said. "The process begins when you enter college with self-assessment, apti­ tude and ability tests," he said. "Students need to know where they are in relation to what employers are looking for and ask themselves 'How do I develop and mar­ ket my skills?"' Employers are looking for students with good communication, human rel ation and interpersonal skills and good grade point averages. They also want analytical and prob­ lem-solving skills and students whodem­ onstrate leadership skills. "People who have been involved outside the classroom in cocurricular activities have had the chance todevelop leadership skills," Ball said. "Internships can also give you a leg up on the job market." Ball said many students limit their employment opportunities by limiting themselves to a particular geographic lo­ cation. 'T tell students to be flexible in their career plans," he said. Appalachian's Career Development Center offers a variety of programs to help students develop job skills and find employment after graduation. A stu­ dent employment service helpsmatch stu­ dents to part-time job opportunities in the Boone area. Workshops help students develop resumes, polish interview tech­ niques and brush up on their etiquette. Career fairs bring professionals from busi­ ness, industry, education and government to campus to discuss employment oppor­ tunities with students. Recruiters can be found on campus daily from early Sep­ tember through April. An Alumni Career Hotline operated by the center aids gradu­ ates in job searches. "Regardless of theeconomy, there will always becompetition in the job market," Ball said. "The more plentiful the supply becomes, the more selective employers can become. Students need to begin de­ veloping skills employers look for, prior to graduation." Federal Legislation opens recreation opportunities to the disabled ASU News Bureau Tie great outdoors is for everyone— tble-bodied and disabled alike. But plan­ ing must extend beyond curb cuts and tserved parking spaces to ensure that National opportunities areavailable to Pwsons with disabilities. Drs. Wayne Williamsand PaulGaskill, Ppalachian State University leisure studies professors, promote outdoor "creational opportunities for the tabled. Federal legislation requires facilities and programs receiving federal funds be accessible to those with disabilities. The Americans With Disabilities Act, passed in 1990,extends accessibility rights to the private sector as well. But a lackof training means few under­ stand the special needs or capabilities of the disabled. The Uniform Federal Ac­ cessibility Standards and state and local building codes are among the tools used by planners to help ensure accessibility. They recommend using an approach that looks beyond drinking fountain height and restroom stall width. Facilities should also allow persons with the desire for adventure to participate within the limits of their stamina and ability, they said. Persons withdisabilities should be used as consultants on facility planning teams for the unique perspective they can offer on accessibility. "A planner may think that graveled paths and walkways are appropriate, Gaskill said. "But a person in a wheel­ chair knows gravel type and depth may become an additional barrier." Planners should be specific when de­ signing paths or walkways, specifying the use of crushed limestone instead of gravel, Gaskill recommends. Door knobs can shut out those with arthritis or a motor dysfunction. Williams said levers on doors fix that problem. A U.S. Forest Service recreation area which is totally accessible to personswith disabilities is a model forrecreation facil­ ity planners. Balsam LakeRecreation Area in Jackson County features a lodge equipped with a kitchen, bathroom and shower stall, all accessible to handicapped, tr • » trails to the lake suitable for wheelchairs, and walkers and platforms and ramps making fishing areas accessible for an­ glers in wheelchairs. "Recreation areas are only serving a small portion of the potential users," Gaskill said. "All of us will be a person with a disability at some point in our lives," Williams added. "The elderly population is the most rapidly growing segment in our society. As we age, we will have reduced mobility, sight and hearing. The Bag boy king speaks at Appalachian like and hope to see most of you find the right company very close to the start of Vlachian Staff Writer your career.That gives you so many more years to work with that career.That gives ^sbig the right company to work you so many more years to build a busi­ ls one of the most important business ness with that company," Smith said.

Things that have allowed Food Lion to grow at such a rapid pace and still remain strong include training all employees and identifying those with management abili­ ties early on so these people can prepare early for management positions. According to Smith, looking at a company's stocks can show whether that company is financially solid. Food Lion's financial stability allows it to provide incentives for its employees by offering a maximum profit-sharing plan. "Incentives were designed to really make them focus on the same things the company focuses on so that we all have the same goals," said Smith. Smith suggested that prospective em­ ployees spend some time looking over the company to make sure it is financially solid and get some help in finding this information if need be. "Salary isgSrtthe only thing. Salary is important, but It's so good to find a com­ pany with a gootj benefit plan," Smith said. Simply look for a company you feel good about, he said.

Williams and Gaskill conducted a study of the state's commercial recreation fa­ cilities three years ago. They found ski slopes, trout ponds, charter fishing ser­ vices, rafting and scuba diving compa­ nies, among others, offering recreational activities to those with disabilities. A directory of vacation and travel op­ portunities for the disabled, "ACCESS, North Carolina," is available from the North Carolina Division of Travel and Tourism. Call (800) VISIT-NC.

The gallery staff was painstakingly trying to hang up the various artistries that were chosen for this year's Under­ graduate Art Expo. Hope Barwick managed to get the three sections of plexiglass up into the plaster tiles, and the vinelike rope that runs between them began to untangle itself like a sleepy snake, but still she grimaced. "It looks different every time I hang it," she said. According toTerry Suhre, the gallery'sdirector, the Art Expo is "a celebration of the work of the undergraduate art program." Exhibiting their workis an exit criteria for many art majors, so this Expo gives them an opportunity to fulfill that requirement Over 300 pieces were submitted to be consid­ ered for exhibition, but only 70 were actually chosen to be exhibited. All four classes, from freshmen to seniors, have art in the show, and class awards were given to the best work in each class. The freshman award went to Julie Ward for her work called "Crayons." The sophomore award was won by AmySeidule for one of her untitled charcoal pieces. The junior award wasearned byCandace Randall for her silver point drawing entitled "Dancers." "Dancers" manages to capture the fleeting moment flhat must I say to you to make you realize d James Dean is riding all up and down my dk in that Fiat of his?

Business honor society holds final banquet The banquet has not been held in the last few years and is a renewed awards ceremony Comparison of food prices The guest speaker at the ceremony was Wayne Duncan, a graduate of Appalachian. Duncan is the executive vice president of the First Citizens Bank and Trust Company. He is also the chairman of the College of Business advisory council. According to Mary Frances Fitzgerald, the 199192 vice president of Beta Gamma Sigma, the ban­ quet is a tradition that has begun again after having stopped for many yCafs. "This is the first time we've had a banquet since I've been at Appalachian," said Dr. Kenneth E. Peacock, Dean of College of Business. "This is kind of a 'test run' to see what kind of response we'll get. Hopefully we'll have a tremendous re­ sponse." Beta Gamma Sigma is a national society, and members havelifetime memberships.Appalachian became a member of the honor society in Decem­ ber 1977. The society continues to benefit students even after they have graduated. Being a member of Beta Gamma Sigma helps to enhance business connec­ tions. Scholarships are also available, and mem­ bers may attend national seminars. According to Fitzgerald, the seminars offer members "connec­ tions with other people who are also businessoriented." The respect that members get for being in the society may be the biggest benefit. "Beta Gamma Sigma is the equivalent of Phi Beta Kappa, which is well respected," said Fitzgerald. "It really says something about you when you say you're in the society." A business advisory council made up of 19 members was present at the induction ceremony. The council reviews Appalachian's programs and, according to Peacock, "stays on top of the business world." The council will be hosting tables and will have a chance to meet with students as well as the students' friends and families. "You never know what kinds of doors could be opened," Peacock said. To be inducted into the society, business stu­ dents must rank in the upper 5 percent in the junior class. Graduating seniors must rank in the upper 10 percent in their class, and graduate students must be in the upper 20 percent. "Beta Gamma Sigma is the highest honor that we can bestow on students," said Peacock. "A lot is expected of the students; we expect them to uphold the ideals and ethics of the society." Faculty helps environment By JOHANNA WEAVER Appalachian Staff Writer On April 30, one of six faculty nominees will receive a $1,000 award for his/her environmentrelated research. The funding for this award has been contributed by Wachovia Bank of North Carolina in WinstonSalem. Wachovia Bank contributed $2,500 to Appala­ chian State University's Program for the Study of Environmental Change (PSEC). This is the first year that a faculty member has been awarded for his/her environmental research. The PSEC hopes to continue to make this an annual event. The award luncheon will take place in the Chancellor's Dining Room, and Chancellor Tho­ mas isexpected to make a few remarks at this time. SaraM. Massey, vice president of Wachovia Bank of North Carolina will present the award to the recipient. The nominated researchers and their studies are: Gary Cooper, "A Public-Public Planning Partner­ ship: Avery County, N.C.;" William B. Glenn, "Depolymerization of Commercial Thermoplastic Polyesters"(recycling plastics); Howard S. Neufeld, "Responses ofNative Plants to Great Smoky Moun­ tains National Park to Ambient and Elevated Lev­ els of Ozone;" Arthur Rex, "Catawba River NonPoint Source Pollution Study;"Thomas C.

STAGE SHOWS Presentation �7 \ SPORTS Season full of surprises JY SHEA GRIFFIN Appalachian Sports Editor The 1992 Major League Baseball season has juen underway just a few short weeks, but ,lready there has been a barrel of surprises that Ms thrown a monkey wrench into the predic­ ts of baseball experts everywhere. Can anyone explain the startling turnaround in he performance of Atlanta's two-sport standout Deion Sanders? Sanders was handed the Braves' «nter field job due to Otis Nixon's drug wspension and has responded in grand fashion. Though he has cooled off of late, "Prime fime" still sported a .356 batting average through Saturday, good enough for fifth best in tie National League. Not too shabby for a lifetime .183 hitter. Smders also tops the senior circuit in triples (J) «nd total bases (48) and rates among the league leaders in runs scored; hits, stolen bases md slugging percentage. Now that Nixon is back as Atlanta's lead-off tun, Sanders has been shifted to the number-two spot. But when slugging rightfielder David Juatice returns from an injury, Braves skipper lobby Cox has a decision to make: sit Sanders ttNixon? With his play so far, Sanders may be inking the decision for him. The Braves themselves are off to anything but I ihot start, however. The defending NL champs (currently reside in West basement with an 8-1T record. The good news for the Braves is even with their bad start they are just two-and-a-half juries out of first. The surprising Houston Astros, who have played 15 of their first 18 games in the friendly |confmes of the Astrodome, have taken the early kid in the division race ahead of Cincinatti and San Diego. The West just might be baseball's most balanced division and should be the most exciting title chase. Two-time defending champion Pittsburgh wis discounted from the NL East race due to the defection of Bobby Bonilla and the trade of 20jime winner John Smiley. But all the Pirates kiwe done is get off their best start in over 20 years (14-4) and open up a four-and-a-half game ktd on the pack. The Bucs have got the job done with pitching, defense and solid play off the bench. It looks like die experts have written Pittsburgh off too soon. On the other hand, perhaps too much hoopla was awarded the New York Mets in the feseason. Free agent signings Bobby Bonilla id Eddie Murray have failed to produce, and "to-time AL Cy Young Winner Bret iaberhagenis off to a dreadfully slow start. ( But '""ember, this is an even year.) New York's defense has been shaky to put it kindly, atrocious "describe it truthfully. Despite all that, the Shea Stadium tainch sits " second slot in the division, and if the •W-priced acquisitions begin to live up to it billings, the Mets pose a dangerous meat. Without a doubt, the New York Yankees are ' to the most surprising start of any team in the 8s- The Bronx Bombers, picked to finish •"ywhere from fourth to seventh in the mediocre erican League East, have won 12 of their mst 18 games. The Yanks are in second place in fcediv; just two games behind the powerful 'vision, Or°nto Blue Jays.

Get ready, because happen. \ v THE APPALACHIAN TUESDAY, April 28,1992 Four cage recruits join App program By WILL ROTHSCHILD Assistant Sports Editor Appalachian State concluded its 1992 basket­ ball recruiting campaign and announced the addi­ tion of four new players to the program. The freshman class of 1992-93 will actually be five players. Geoff Richards, a 6'8" forward who joined the program last season, received a medical redshirt after sustaining a knee injury early in the year. Richards will have four years of eligibility remaining and will join the freshman class of 199293. As for the four new players to the program, three are perimeter players. Billy Shepherd, a 6'2" point guard from Bir­ mingham, Ala. signed a letter-of-intent during the fall signing period. As a junior. Shepherd directed Ramsay High School to a 27-7 record and a fourth place finish in the state of Alabama. Regarded as a pure point guard.Shepherd is a good distributor of the basketball. Brian Hege, 6'2", is oneof two in-state newcom­ ers. Hege, a star for Ledford High School in Thorn asville, averaged 22.5 points per game as a senior. The shooting guard was an all-state pick in both his junior and senior seasons and led his team to state runner-up honors this year. Hege finished his high school career as the eighth all-time scorer in North Carolina history. Rob Arnold, a 6'0" point guard from Monroe, will join the team as anon-scholarship player in the fall. Arnold was recruited but will not receive a grant. Arnold averaged 22.6 points per game as a senror for Piedmont High School and is regarded as a dangerous three-point shooter. ASU Head Coach Tom Apke likened Arnold to former Appalachian point guard Kemp Phillips. "It's a good class," Apke said."We've improved our outside firepower with the addition of Arnold, Hege and Shepherd who are all good perimeter shooters. Shepherd and Arnold both have a chance to become good point guards and with the gradua­ tion of Rodney Peel we needed to bolster that part of the team." Joe Sabato, a rising senior, is the only true point guard on the team. Jeff Williams, a rising junior, played point guard his freshman season but was moved to the wing this year. Consequently, Apke and his staff are faced with the problem of having only one point guard with collegiate experience in the past year on next year's squad. Shepherd and Arnold will likely have the opportunity to move into the regular rotation next season. The only frontline player ASU signed is 6'6" forward Tremayne Rooks. Rooks averaged 16 points and nine rebounds per game for East High School in Memphis, Tenn. this season. Rooks was named all-district for his efforts in leading his team to a 26-5 record. With the loss of starting center Tim Powers and starting power forward Steve Spurlock, Rooks will be needed right away up front for the Mountaineers. Ricky Nedd, a 6'7" rising junior, and 6'7" rising sophomore Chad McClendon are the only returning Mountaineers over 6'6". Rooks and Richards will both provide quality depthfor ASU up front next year, and both have the chance to develop into future starters. 'Tremayne Rooks is really going to be a good player," Apke commented. "Geoff Richards with the year of maturity and development has the chance to become a good player and a big contribu­ tor. Richards has become a very important part of next year's freshman class. "It's hard to say how quickly any player might step in and play. For the first time next season, practice starts on Nov. 1 instead of Oct. 15. So, we have lost two weeks of preseason practice time, and how that will impact the development of new players nobody knows yet." Apps fall in SC tourney ASU beats Marshall, loses to Bucs, Citadel Appalachian Staff Reports Appalachian State dropped two of three contests in the Southern Conference Baseball Tournament last weekend in Charleston, S.C. In first round actionon Thursday, the Mountain­ eers fell to EastTennessee State 1-0. ASU received good pitching for the contest but could muster only three hits off ETSU pitching. The Mountaineers bounced back from their open­ ing setback to outscore Marshall 8-7 on Friday. Appalachian State trailed 7-5 but scored three runs in the final two innings to take the contest. The Mountaineer bats finally got untracked against the Thundering Herd. Appalachian erupted for 11 hits off three different Marshall hurlers.

Will*l»sje4 just three-and-a-third innings and was shelled for 10 hits and six runs. Appalachian rallied to close the gap to 6-5 after the sixth inning. Dave Gonsiorowski relieved Wills and allowed just one hit and one run over the final 5 2/3 innings to post his second victory of the season. Rick Paugh gave up the game-winning run in the bottom of the ninth and was saddled with the loss for Marshall. Third baseman Jody Boyles paced the Moun­ taineer offensive attack with three basehits and three RBIs. Outfielder Joe Bernard also banged out two hits and scored a pair of runs. Will Shellman and Randy DeBruhl also delivered two hits apiece for ASU. Appalachian State was then eliminated from the tourney on Saturday, when the host Bulldogs of The Citadel scored a 12-3 rout over the Mountain­ eers. The Citadel hammered out 17 hits off five ASU pitchers on the day and also benefitted from three Appalachian errors. The Bulldogs took command of the game early by scoring two runs in the first inning. Tony Skole and Gettys Glaze belted out run-scoring hits for The Citadel. The Mountaineers scored a run in the fifth to slice The Citadel's lead in half. DeBruhl led off the inning with a single and scored on Boyles' double. The sixth inning proved to be the downfall for the Mountaineers. The Bulldogs exploded for five runs on six hits in the frame and vaulted to a 7-1 advantage. The Bulldogs punched out six straight safeties in the inning off of three ASU hurlers. ASU countered with two runs in the bottom of the sixth to pull within 7-3. Brent Card well doubled home Mike Ramsier and Bernard for the Moun­ taineer*'final two runs of the evening. The Citadel was led by the quartet of Skole, Glaze, Vic Correll and Jermaine Shuler, who recorded three hits apiece. Bernard belted out two hits for the Apps. Steve Basch scattered six hits and three runs to pick up the victory. Chris Vullo gave up four runs over five innings and accepted the loss for Appalachian. The Mountaineers conclude the season with a 17-34 record. DeBruhl capped off the season by being selected for the All-Southern Conference team, the only App player chosen. Debuhl finished the year with a .202 batting average, three homers and 10 runs batted in. Western Carolina shortstop Matt Raleigh was tabbed the SC's player-of-the-year, while The Citadel's Glaze was named the loop's top pitcher. Furman's Shane Spear was honored as the conference's top freshman, and Western Carolina's Keith LeClair was named coach-of-the-year. ASU's Dandridge picked in fifth round by Seattle By WILL ROTHSCHILD Assistant Sports Editor Appalachian State's Gary Dandridge, a threeyear football starter at free safety, was selected by the Seattle Seahawks in the fifth round of Sunday's National Football League draft. Dandridge will fly to Seattle next week for the team's minicamp. "I'm very' pleased," Dandridge said Monday morning. "I didn't have any expectations. I just wanted to hopefully go on the first day (of the draft), and I'm just glad the waiting is over. The process of getting drafted is a lot tougher than the draft itself." Dandridge was rated as the fifth best free safety in America before his senior season by NFLdraft ana­ lyst Mel Kiper. By draft time, Dandridge's stock had fallen, and Kiper rated him 15th-besL Appalachian State secondary coach Joe Johnson remarked that part of that is due to the fact that Dandridge played with nagging injuries much of the year. "I think the key thing (for Dandridge to make an NFL team) is that he's got to get back in top physical shape," Johnson said. "For two-thirds of last season he played at about 75 percent. At full speed and top form, there is no doubt that he can play at that level." Dandridge is regarded as a strong safety pros­ pect in the NFL, meaning he will have to make the move from free safety, where he was a two-time first-team All-Southern Conference selection and a third-team All-American selection in his senior year. At 6'2", 220 pounds, NFL scouts were most impressed by his size and physicaUool^^^^ "The majority of people that scouted him and evaluated him felt like he's going to be a strong safety," Johnson said. "He's physical enough to play there, but he might notbe quick enough to play free safety." "I really don't know what their (Seattle's) defen­ sive backs are looking like," Dandridge explained. "Seattle is one of the few teams that I didn't familiarize myself with. I have talked with them, and they want to look at me at strong safety first and maybe free safety later. But I am going in at strong safety." IMiWi Dandridge played in both the East-West and Blue-Gray all-star games following his senior season. The Bristol, Tenn. native wrapped up his collegiate career with six interceptions and 16 pass breakups. Dandridge is listed as the eighth alltime tackier in ASU history and averaged 6.7 tackles per game for his career. Steve Wilks, a two-year starter at comerback, may join Dandridge in the NFL ranks. Wilks was impres­ sive in several workouts for NFL teams. As of Monday, Wilks was rumored to be a potential late-round draft pick. "Steve will be a guy that will make it," Johnson said of Wilks' chances to make an NFL roster. "I would be very surprised if Stevedidn't makeit with somebody." Wilks had a great senior season, when he led the team with 17 pass breakups and caught the eye of several NFLscouts. The senior from Charlotte was most impressive in workouts for Seattle and Min­ nesota, when he ran a 4.5 in the 40. The general consensus is that should Wilks not get drafted, he will certainly be picked up as a free agent. DANDRIGE PICKED BY SEAHAWKS: Appalachian State senior Gary Dandridge was drafted in the fifth round of Sunday's NFL draft by the Seattle Seahawks. Dandridge, a three-year starter at free safety for ASU. will be in Seattle next week for the team's mini-camp. �The Appalachian TU,^AY Anrinft JOQQ Problems.., after an abortion?

Crime rates have gone up tremendously in the past 25 years. In the state of North Carolina, a murder occurs every 17 hours. In Georgia, the rate is every 12 hours; in the state of New York, every four hours. In the United States as a whole, a violent crime is committed approxi­ mately every 20 minutes. Drug use has increased. The use of drugs became more popular in the '60s; however, drug crimes were virtually unheard of until the past decade. Cocaine and crack, the form of cocaine which made its appearance in 1986 and killed basketball star Len Bias, are especially highly addictive. Trying the drug even once causes a physical and psychological addiction that cannot be shaken, and the addict will do anything—including murder—to get more money for the drug. Cocaine has been dubbed "the rich kid's drug" because of its high cost. Marijuana and cocaine are grown in Latin America; heroin and opium are grown in Asia. The extreme op­ pression in these countries causes the citizens to turn to drugs as a means of income, as a way to feed their families. The soil in South America, for example, is very poor, and the farmers that comprise most of thecontinent' s population have a hard time supporting themselves and their families by growing vegetables due to the high rate Many students enjoy the advantages of on-campus housing. Many like the mvenience of being close to academic buildings, and many enjoy the liendships and bonds established when living on a hall with approximately 30 lber students. Some even enjoy the noise. However, only freshmen are guaranteed this enjoyment. Only freshmen are paranteed on-campus housing. Freshmen are required to live on campus, iliile upperclassmen are often forced to seek housing elsewhere. Some upperclassmen desire to live on campus. Many of those who do are laced on a waiting list, dependent on other students choosing not to attend. on the waiting list are in a precarious situation. They want to live on ampus, yet they are not guaranteed housing. They must make a decision, taild they wait'on the list, or should they search for alternative housing?

However, marijuana and cocaine will grow in any type of soil, and the drug longpens will buy the plants at high prices. Farmers make much more money this way than they do struggling to grow veg­ etables in poor soil. A starving farmer needing to feed his family may turn to raising marijuana or coca plants out of desperation. However, the root of the problem does not lie in Latin America or Asia.These countries would make no money off drugs if they couldn't sell to the United States. The root of the problem lies in what makes U.S. citizens turn to drugs in the first place. The rich have the money to buy the drugs. Rich adolescents often turn to drugs out of unhappiness, boredom, or need for the attention and love they may not be receiving at home. The poor turn to drugs to escape oppression. Selling a bag of twoor three crack rocks is an easy way to get $25-50. The possibility of anest no longer deters criminals. In fact, those who are homeless and don't know where their next meals are coming from may actually see advantages in going to jail—at least they know they will be getting a hot meal. Jail cells are also air-conditioned and come complete with color television. Also, those arrested for drug crimes can feel fairly certain they won't be in jail for long. They come up for parole quickly and are back out on the streets, usual­ ly back on drugs again, fails are not places of rehabili­ tation. It is not the job of jailers to rehabilitate the prisoners. There is no simple answer to the crime problem.Some have suggested tougher laws and longer jail sentences. However, along with the high crime rate, prison over­ crowding has become a major problem in the United States. We do not have any more space in existing prisons to house more criminals, and we do not have money to build more prisons. Boot camps for youthful offenders have also been suggested. These may work for some criminals. How­ ever, many will be back on the streets as soon as they leave the boot camp. The answer to the crime problem lies in prevention. We need to concentrate on preventing crimes before they happen more so than delivering the consequences of crimes that have already occurred. All adults in this society have a responsibility to help prevent crime. Many violent crimes arecaused by drugs, and drug use often begins at an early age. Therefore, those who work with children and teenagers have more of an influence on the problem where it begins. Programs such as HeadStart, which helps underprivi­ leged preschoolers get a "head start" in school, is one such program aimed at preventing problems that arise from getting behind in school and getting discouraged. Another program allows inner-city students to go to a center after school and on Saturdays and play games such as pool. This program is designed to keep these students off the streets those afternoons. The breaking down of the American home is a major contributing factor in drug use and violent crime. Many children in poverty are neglected by the parents—they are not given any love, guidance or support. These children grow up to believe that nobody cares about them. They turn to drugs, hoping to find love there. Their drug use leads to crime. Nothing can take the place of the love of family. Thq is what makes a solution to the drug and crime problem so hard—children who are starving for love are often the ones who turn to drugs and crime. In order to completely solve the drug and crime problem, we would have to go into the home of the criminal. However, another major influence on a child's life isa the school. A good teacher can make all the difference in the world. Educators, more than any other professionals, have a special responsibility in the prevention of drug; crimes. A teacher whoencourages and respects hisor hef students plays a major role in crime prevention by helping students feel good enough about themselves not to want to turn to drugs. Yes, we need to deal with the crime problem and the criminals, as they are now by imposing tougher sen-! tences. However, we also need to get to the root of thef crime problem—the reasons people turn to drugs in the first place. If we can attack the problem at the roots through prevention, we will be much further on our way. to a drug- and crime-free society.

It has worked out really well because almost everyone speaks English, the school is in a good location in Europe and it is neat to experience the cultural differences. I am living in a student "flat" which is only about five minutes from the university by bike. There are 18 students on our floor (five girls and 13 guys), and they are all Dutch. The rooms are OK, and I'm living by myself. I feel lucky that I am living here because most of the foreigners are living together on the top floor of my building. They don't have all of the benefits that I do like the experience of living with Dutch people and having some things like our washing machine, cook groups (where one person buys and cooks dinner for the people in the group once a week), telephone system (ours is a ticker system while theirs is a pay phone), and our beverage system (where the distributor brings drinks to us—it saves us from having to go to the store so often).

Just when we thought Communism was dead we saw all of these supporters. It was so hard to believe. Some other recent trips were to Germany where we visited Cologne, and this past Monday we went to Dusseldorf. There was a big Christmas market there so we did a lot of shopping. The whole town was decorated for the occasion. I have also been to a lot of towns throughout Holland. Last week we went to Amsterdam with our Dutch culture class. We took a bike tour around the city to see the different types of architecture. It was interesting to see the different styles designed by famous architects of the Amsterdam school. I understood what you meant in your letter about the young women from Thailand that ended up as prostitutes. Dutch people have told me that a lot of Asian women who were promised a better life in Holland were forced into prostitution because they could not find any jobs here since they couldn't speak the language and had no skills. It does seem strange that the Dutch allow these things to happen despite some of their conservative and conformist attitudes. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Even though nobody celebrates it here, all of the Americans got together here and had a big feast We had too much to be thankful for to skip this tradition. Each one of us cooked a typical Thanksgiving food and brought it to an American girl's house. We even ate a turkey. It all came together like a potluck meal, and we even saw the Thanksgiving Day parade on CNN. On Dec. 5, everyone got together to celebrate Sinterklaas. We all exchanged names, bought a small gift for each person and wrapped it in a creative way and wrote a poem about the person. It is fun because you can talk about all of the bad things that person did or all of the things that annoy you in a joyous way. I think I will start this tradition in America. I am planning on staying with my brother in Bulgaria over the Christmas break from Dec. 20 to Jan. 17. It is a lot cheaper than traveling back to America, and I think I will have a great time there. We plan on doing a lot of skiing and sightseeing. George McMahon ASU Box 15083 �JUL The Appalachian Tiwtfay.

The walk, which began at the Duck fond Field, continued until the group nched Sanford Mall. There, the marchjjlinked arms and sang "We Shall Over| June" in unison with the accompaniment I of the Black Student Association Gospel Choir. "Ugly things are going to be happening about a week from now," said Willie Fleming, director of multicultural affairs. Fleming went on to suggest reaching out to another person of a different race during this time and "stepping outside of our four walls." SGA Vice President Reggie Murphy said, "Whenever a negative comes into a community, you want to combat that with anegative." He added that when the group was first deciding what to,do about the Klan march, they thought about ignoring "We needed to do something so stu­ dents can experience a positive thing," Murphy said. "But now when we look back at this event (the march), we can see we did something positive." Student Amy Lee spoke at Sanford Mall, quoting civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.'s famous "I Have A Dream" speech. "I feel the civil rights movement died with him (King). There is more prejudice and white supremacy groups growing to­ day," Lee said. "However, at ASU we just don't see it (prejudice) that much." Fleming said he felt that problems could ^ wived by love.

KKK marches in Boone on Easter brings message Chris Childs, spokesperson for envimmental action group, Greenpeace, taught hope to several hundred atten­ tats at the April 14 speech at Farthing Auditorium, telling the crowd, "You can •ike a difference." Childs told thecrowd thatchanging the mrld is possible with hope by using K*eral Greenpeace stories to illustrate liechanges that have already been made. The audience was also presented with mextensive slide presentation in thebackpound, which showed a variety of land|scapes and Greenpeace activities. Childs identified Greenpeace's two fundamental principles, non-violence and Staring witness to the truth. Both of the pnnciples came from the Quakers, ac­ ting to Childs. "We have an absolute commitment to nonviolence," Childs said. He did go on toy, however, that the group is confrontaonal but in a nonviolent way. In Greenpeace's 20 year history, one Ktivist has died as a result of his work "ih the group.

It's the only thing there's just too little of," Fleming said, leading the crowd in a chant. Other speakers included Boone mayor Velma Burnley and ASU Chancellor John Thomas. Thomas said that Appalachian stands committed to unity, thanking the march­ ers for celebrating and demonstrating that commitment to diversity. "Even in a town like this, you confront prejudice, bigotry and hatred," said Mayor Bumley. She went on to add the Boone community respects diversity, and the march symbolizes whatshe feels the com­ munity stands for. By ADAM HATCH Appalachian Staff Writer \ The Christian Knights of The Ku Klux Klan marched this past Sunday through the towns of Boone and Blowing Rock. The demonstration started in Boone at 4 p.m. and included a parade and speeches made by the leaders of the rally. The crowd became highly responsive due to the inflammatory remarks of the Klan speakers concerning abortion, gay rights and their opinion that "blacks and drugs go together." The responses varied from songs like "Jesus loves the little children," to out­ right arguing and name calling on both sides. All questions asked by the crowd were avoided by the Klansmen. Appttrchltn Photo by Tray Horacft KLANSMEN SHOUT BELIEFS THROUGH REBEL FLAGS: The Christian Knights of the Ku Klux Klan marched though Boone on Easter Sunday.The Klan was confronted by protestors, some of whom came armed with anti-klan posters during the Klan's membership drive. Approximately 30-40 Klansmen par­ ticipated in the march, including women and children, speaking to a crowd of about 300 Boone citizens and ASU stu­ dents. Because of disruptive behavior of the crowd and time restrictions placed on the demonstration by the town committee, the Klan was escorted out of Boone by state troopers by 5:30 p.m. The Klansmen went as far to refer to "the university over here" as a "bed of vipers" and "demons and devils." The crowd was also warned, "You are all going to hell if you do not turn from your godless ways, because anation with­ out God can not long prosper." The Klansmen continued on to attack "Gayism" and the need for prayer in schools. They were of the belief that "we should put prayer in school and take sex education and put it back in the home." Filling their speech with various racist remarks and referring to minorities as inferior only made the crowd angrier and spuned their responses. The Klan also attacked Black History Month, the celebration of Martin Luther King's birthday and the National Asso­ ciation for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). The NAACP had posted a sign on highway 421 welcoming the Klan to Boone. When questioned about their desire to march in Boone and Blowing Rock on Easter Sunday, the Klan replied that they had as much right and privilege to march in these two towns as anyone else, and that they had never visited the moun­ tains before and thought that it was about time. Appalachian Staff Reports "Right now our two most important goals arerecycling andeducating thecam­ pus," said Tom Eure. "Recycling is our main goal." A recycling booth will be set up outside the student union today until 3 p.m. as a part of Earth Week. Eure said SAVE works closely with EIC, an environmental issues committee composed of concerned professors and students. One main project of the ASU environ­ mental groups is the renovation of the steam plant. "The steam plant is a major polluter in this area. We need to change it fast," said Eure. "We also are still talking about the SAC (student activity center) because we don't want to see it built." SAVE, which meets once a week in East Hall, sponsors clean-ups and makes plans on how best to inform people and make things change. EIC meets every other Thursday in Rankin Science building. Anyone is invited to attend meetings for both groups. This year, the April 22 celebration is closely linked to the Earth Summit, also known as the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, a 12day conference in Brazil slated for June 1-12 that has been widely publicized on U.S. campuses. "Earth Day has become more like an 'Earth Week,'" said Denise Greene, a spokesperson at Earth Day USA head­ quarters in New Hampshire. Many activi­ ties started in March and will continue until the Summit convenes in June, she said. "Our slogan is 'Make Every Day an Earth Day,"' said Greene. "Our goals are educational. We want people to make changes in their daily lives, like recycling more, using less water, driving less, and shopping environmentally." 'ack of environmental concern or "•aion.

ASU studentsare also celebrating Earth Week with several different activities. SAVE, Students Actively Volunteering for the Environment, sponsored a march last night that went from the Duck Pond Field to Sanford Mall. When the march­ ers reached Sanford Mall, a band spoke and the crowd heard from speakers. handcuffing themselvesto harpoons "haling vessels to hanging banners to The police force during both marches was formidable. About 85 armed town police, state troopers, undercover officers and canine units were on hand to make sure no one got out of line whether they were Klansmen or crowd. There was a watchful eye over the crowd as policemen with sniper rifles watched the crowd from their stations overhead on tops of downtown Boone buildings. Due to the disruptive nature of the crowd, led by the students, the Klan was not able to continue effectively as a orga­ nized effort in their endeavor to re­ cruit. They marched to the gravel lot across from Sollecito's Restaurant and were es­ corted out of town because the parking lot was becoming flooded with the music of Public Enemy, a popular rap group, from a nearby house. Student David Nichols remarked that "It (the march) was like watching a dying species, because hate is on the way out." The two Klan marches were quite dif­ ferent from each other. The march in Blowing Rock was covered by two televi­ sion crews and 10 newspapers. By JEFFERSON STEIN Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian State University is now in the process of raising approximately $100,000 for a new voice registration system which will be first used for the registration of spring classes in 1994. This proposed voice system will allow students to register for classes from a touch-tone phone from any location. The student must type in his or herconfiden tially selected personal indentification number to enter the system. The procedure will be very similar to that of a bank teller machine. Associate Registrar Don Rankins said that it is im­ portant to note that, 'This system is not replacing the on-line withoperator, rather just making it more convenient to register during the periods of time we are not staffed." Some students still feel that $100,000 is still quite a bit of money to fix some­ thing that's not broken. "The system is working just fine and to pay that much for registration serviceis just ignorant," stated Sheny Cecil. The proposed voice response system would include more than just registration capabilities, it would also be able to ac­ cess the students to financial aid informa­ tion, student accounts, admission infor­ mation, grade updates or changes and have a calendar of general events notify­ ing students of drop dates or letting them know if representatives from corpora­ tions will be in recruiting. Satellite broadcasts promoting the Earth Summit have appeared on many U.S. campuses, and one two-hour broad- Some students say they are also wor­ ried that voice registration will end up like UNC-Chapel Hill, a location which has had some problems with the system. "What's the point? The phone lines are still going to be busy. I have friends at Chapel Hill, and they have told me that it really doesn' t speed upthe process,"stated ASU student Tom Needham. Rankins replies to this by saying that this would be a totally different situation See VOICE page 4 cast is scheduled for April 26, the last day of Earth Week. Another broadcast will cover the summit from Brazil. Student environmental groups are being lobbied by the National Wildlife Federation to write letters to encourage U.S. involvement in the Summit. On April 9, Earth Day USA president Bruce Anderson presented over 700 peti­ tions representing thousands of signa­ tures to the Council on Environmental Quality in Washington, urging President Bush to attend the conference. At the University Iowa, Victor Arango, a member of the United Nations Association-USA, a group heavily in­ volved in environmental education, says that Earth Day and the Earth Summit have sparked the imaginations of many stu­ dents. "We're putting signs on spots where people have worn a trail through a yard to cut corners that says, 'How Would You Like Someone To Walk on Your Wounds? Mother Earth,"' said Arango. "They'll be catchy, like one we are posting on bus stops that says 'Thank You for Using Mass Transportation. It's Good For Me. Mother Earth.'" Another one we are posting on trees. Touch Me. Feel Me. 1 Am Alive. Mother Earth,'" he said. Other campuses are celebrating with visits from environmentalists of world­ wide acclaim.

Students apologize (CPS)—Two Harvard Law School stu­ dents who parodied the feminist views of a slain legal scholar have apologized, saying they now realize the article was tasteless and offensive. "We realize that it was very wrong to write theparody,"co-authors Craig Coben and Ken Fenyo, members of the presti­ gious Harvard Law Review, said in a statement. The students also said they apologized to Mary Joe Frug's husband, Gerald, a professor at the Harvard Law School. They added that they did not mean to distribute the article on the anniversary of her death. Frag, a professor at New England Law School, was stabbed to death April 4, 1991, a few blocks from her home in a wealthy Cambridge neighborhood. Po­ lice do not have any suspects. In March, the Review published aposthumous article by Frug called, "A Postmodern Feminist Legal Manifesto," which explored the legal theories on vio­ lence toward women. The Associated Pressreported April14 that there was opposition to the publica­ tion of Frug's work by members of the Review, Mid that many on the Harvard Hunter Scholarship Deadline is May IS: Undergraduate students at Appala­ chian State University may apply for the Whitney Elizabeth Hunter Memorial Scholarship.

Lecture on Native Americans rescheduled for April 28: An April 13 lecture on "Native Americans as Citizens of the World" has been rescheduled for April 28 at 7:30 p.m. at Appalachian State University.

Warren is the former deputy director of the Smithsonian NationalMuseum of the American Indian and former member of the National Council on the Humanities. He has represented Native Americans in Latin America, the United States and in Europe. campus felt the spoof was done in retali­ ation. The parody, titled "He-Manifesto of Post-Mortem Legal Feminism," was in­ cluded in the Harvard Law Revue, an annual spoof of the Harvard Law Review. It was signed by "Mary Doe, Rigor-Mortis Professor of Law" and reportedly ar­ gued that Frug's theories were the con­ coction of paranoid feminists. "The piece offends all standards of decency," said Robert C. Clark, dean of the law school. "(The article) displays a gross insensitivity to the feelings of oth­ ers." The newly elected president of the Harvard Law Review has written a public apology for the article even though she said she had nothing to do with it. Emily Schulman said the parody pub­ lication was the product of third-year law students only, and that she never saw the article before it was distributed at a ban­ quet in her honor. "The responsibility for this fell on pre­ vious presidents," said Schulman, who called the issue "vicious" and suspended publication of the Revue, a long-standing Harvard tradition.

Schulman alsoadmonished theauthors and editors of the Revue, saying theparody would be used by a professor as "an example of hate speech" in his law class, that the Law Review would develop a task force toassess the treatment of women on staff and that money normally used to publish the Revue would be donated to a charity in the name of Mary Joe Frug. Professor Lawrence Tribe, a Harvard Law School scholar, blames the lack of diversity among law professors at Harvard Law School for creating fertile ground for sexist behaviors and attitudes. "We have an exclusive male faculty. It's not surprising, they just don't get it. Something needs to be done to broaden the base for the elite and powerful."

Thursday. Anril21. 799? Food Lion's Smith comes to Boone faculty and business people to meet suc­ cessful North Carolina executives. Smith joined Salisbury-based Food Lion in 1970 after working several vears for Del Monte Sales Companv. From a position as buyer, Smith worked his way up through the ranks, becom­ ing chief executive offi­ cer in 1986 and chairman of the board of directors in 1990. He graduated from China Grove High School and received a de­ gree in business adminis­ tration from Catawba Col­ lege. Smith is president of the North Carolina Food Dealers, a member of the Food Marketing Insti­ tute and a member of the N.C. Business Council of Management and Develop­ ASU News Bureau 81 I Tom E. Smith, president and chief ex­ ecutive officer of Food Lion, will deliver the Harlan E. Boyles Dis­ tinguished CEO Lecture April 23 at Appalachian State University. Smith's 2 p.m. speech in the Broyhill Music Center's Rosen Concert Hall will be followed by a 3:15 pjn. reception at the Broyhill Inn and Confer­ ence Center. The Boyles CEO Lec­ ture Series, sponsored by Appalachian's John A. Walker College of Busi­ ness, invites chief execu­ tive officers from across the state to speak and provides an opportunity for students. Voice Write a letter to The Appalachian All Domestic Pet Supplies Specializing in Tropical Fish & Birds WORLDS OF BOONE, INC. Fresh & Salt Water Fish because ASU is planning on having just as many phone lines as UNC-Chapel Hill with about 10,000 fewer students. Rank ins added, "Carolina went from arena (registering) to voice response. They missed the middle step; direct line is very important." Other students feel that there will be a lack of personal approach.With the direct line there is a live operator to assist stu­ dents. Message The voice response system has no such person, only a voice box. Rankins responded to this fear by saving that for those people who like having the per­ sonal interaction this option is still avail­ able. He explained,"Each semester wetry to improve, for the people who use the sys­ tem it will be more convenient, and this will also make it more convenient for direct line registers. Especially during drop/add time." Rankins summed up the voice re­ sponse system by saying the system had three main goals, explaining, "The first goal is to insure that it enhances registra­ tion. Secondly, the system should better serve the miscellaneous information of the campus. Thirdly, by incorporating voice re­ sponse, we will be able to handle indi­ vidual requests more conveniently. This will help both parties involved." ASU SPECIAT DISCOUNT AIRF^k STUDENTS * FACULTY »a|jt 2 EASY STEPS TO SAVING^ 1. Call your airline with your flight H times and get your best price. \ 2.

If it does rain the event will be cancelled. The show is free and starts at 1 p.m. on Duck Pond Field. Get ready for this year's Yofest be­ cause thereare a lotof changes that should make this year's Yofest show worth see­ ing. Free admission is only one of the changes at this year's Yofest that is ex­ pected to attract more students to the outdoor concert event. Yofest will begins at1 p.m.on April 25 at the Duck Pond Field. In the past, the average Yofest ticket has cost around $7. However, this year Yofest will be free to everyone.The con­ cert is open to all students this year. The A.P.P.S.committee hasdecided to tone the event down somewhat by mak­ ing it non-alcoholic and by bringing in local bands. Scaling the event down somewhat this year ^was discussed by Randy Kelly, A.P.P.S. advisor, Dave Robertson, directorof student programs and Marsha Stiles, chairperson of A.P.P.S. Concerts Coun­ cil. "Since the event has been rained out the last four out of five years, we decided it would be a lot easier to cancel a small show than a large show. It is a lot easier on everyone," said Stiles. There will be no rain date for resched­ uling purposes and no alternate sites to have the concert this year. If the weather cooperates, Yofest will take place. If the weather does not cooperate, there will be no Yofest. "We want to promote the non-alco­ holic change in a positive way. In the past, some outdoor concerts have been out of control. We want to avoid that this year," said Stiles. The concert will not be enclosed on the upper stadium field this year. Instead it will be out in the open on the field beside the Duck Pond. The bands will be set up on the pavement in the stadium parking lot di­ rectly above the field. This will give the students the entire field to move around freely. For students interested in playing vol­ leyball, there will be nets set up in the field. Students arc also encouraged to bring frisbees, footballs and soccer balls. There should not be any worries about over­ crowding problems this year. The bands featured at thisyear's Yofest include The Straight Ahead and The Woods, two local bands from the Ra­ leigh-Chapel Hill area. "Both bands are packing the clubs in Raleigh, so we feel they will be real popular here," said Stiles. Straight Ahead plays more of a high energetic beat while The Woods cany a southern pop pedigree.Their unique sound has been compared to that of the Georgia Satellites. The A.P.P.S. Council is confi­ dent that both bands are well-suited for this type of event. This year ASU Food Services will be catering Yofest. The food service will be grilling hotdogs and hamburgers. Students will be able to use cash, their mealcards or their Appalachian Express cards to purchase food. Banana Boat will also be giving away free suntan products. Although this year's Yofest festival has undergone some changes, the enter­ tainment and fun promises to be as good as ever. So bring your friends and get ready fjr a good time.

Lethal summer movies with Batman Special to the Appalachian Michael Keaton is the Dark Knight of Gotham city...Danny Devito is the vil­ lainous Penguin...Michelle Pfeiffer is the sinuous, mysterious Catwoman in "Batman Returns," once again directed by creative mastermind Tim Burton. Joining Keaton, DeVito and Pfeiffer in the cast of "Batman Returns" are Acad­ emy A ^winner Christopher W alken, Michael Murphy, VincentSchiavelli, Jan Hooks, Cristi Conaway, Andrew Bryniarski and Steve Witting. Michael Gough once again appears as Alfred the butler, and Pat Hingle returns in the role of Police Commissioner Gordon. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover return to the screen in the further adventures of police detectives Riggs and Murtaugh, as Richard Donner directs and Joe Pesci, Rene Russo and Jack Travis also star. After a long and distinguished career with the Los Angeles Police Department, Detective Roger Murtaught is just one week away from retirement For most officers, this would be a time to relax and reflect, toslowly wrap up everyday duties and prepare for civilian life. However, Detective Murtaugh will not be given that luxury. For one thing, a cache of thousands of illegal handguns has disappeared from police lockup and begun surfacing in the hands of local gang members. But the biggest obstacle to Murtaugh's retirement is the fact that his partner is still Martin Riggs. In the years that they've worked together, Riggs has grown very attached to his partner, and he thinks that, protes­ tations to the contrary, Murtaugh is defi­ nitely not too old for this stuff. Gibson and Glover continue the ad­ ventures of detectives Riggs and Murtaugh in a Silver Pictures Production of A Rich­ ard Donner Film, "Lethal Weapon 3." Donner, who directed the previous "Le­ thal Weapon" movies, which grossed $65 million and $147 million at the box of­ fice, respectively, returns to direct the third installment of the series. Glover most recently earned critical and popular plaudits for his performance as Simon in "Grand Canyon." Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Gene Hackman and Richard Harris star in a stark drama about life in the American West of the last century titled "Unforgiven."

ASU Head Coach John Weaver was pleased with the efforts of the Lady Moun­ taineers. "It was a great day. I was really pleased. We did all of the things that we are capable of, and it was a good morale booster prior to the Southern Conference meet coming up. The meet turned out to be a real success, and I was pleased with the team effort and intensity," Weaver said. Second place finishers for the Lady Apps included seniors Gardin and Monica Teeter in the 200-meters and 100-meter hurdles with times of 24.89 and 14.4. Juniors Foust, Shern Miller and Sheree Robbins also finished second in their events.

Redden placed in the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 68.81. The Lady Mountaineers will travel to Marshall this weekend to compete in the SC Championships. "As always, if we go in doing what we are capable of, weshould do fine," Weaver said. "But, we have to be careful because other conference teams are working hard to knock us off." ASU's women's program has captured 17 consecutive conference cross countryindoor track-outdoor track titles and will be going for its sixth straight outdoor championship in Huntington, West Va., this weekend.

Wallace was impressive in long-distance runs for ASU at the meet. Mountaineers conclude regular season, gear up for tourney By SCOTT M. KLEBAN Appalachian Staff Writer \ The Appalachian State baseball team I a busy final week of the season, playing eight games in seven days. The Mountaineers hosted Davidson 14 at Red Lackey Field. Senior irter Johnny McAulay picked up his irst win of theseason, striking out a team ton-high eight batters in six innings as J won 11-2. Randy DeBruhl and Scott McDaniel tchhomered for the Mountaineers. Will hellman, who leads the team with a .325 batting average, added four hits in four atbats. On April 15, UNC Asheville came to Boone for a doubleheader. In the opener, the Bulldogs rocked four Mountaineer pitchers for 14 hits as they dumped ASU 13-4. Joe Bernard homered for the Moun­ taineers. Appalachian gained a split in the night­ cap, outslugging UNCA 11-7. Brent Cardwell powered the attack with a home run and three RBIs. As Asheville's Bulldogs left town, the Bulldogs of the Citadel trekked up the mountains to Boone. The Citadel represented ASU's last Southern Conference foe of the regular sea­ son. Friday, the teams split a doubleheader. The Mountaineers won the first game 5-4. ASU outfielder John Bonner saved the game by throwing out a Bulldog runner at the plate for the game's 1 ast out, thwarting a Bulldog rally. The Citadel silenced ASU 6-0 in the second game. Shellman had the Mountaineer's lone hit in the contest. The two teams met again on Saturday to decide the series. ASU rallied from an early four-run deficit to clinch the series 9-6. Shellman continued to carry the hot bat pounding three hits and scoring three runs. Adding to the comeback was Joe Bernard who homered and tallied four RBIs. Steve Bronack pitched five innings of relief to record the win and raise his record to 2-1. Appalachian State's two victories over the Citadel raised their Southern Confer­ ence record to 6-14. The squad then headed to Clemson to finish out the regular season with apair of games. On Easter Sunday the Tigers ran out to a 4-0 lead after three innings. ASU countered with a single run in the fourth. Paul O'Neil's two-run single in the eighth inning narrowed the lead further to 4-3. However, Clemson held on for a 5-3 win. Monday, Bernard hit his third home rim of the week and team-leading sixth of the season for the Mountaineers. However, Bernard's first inning blast was not enough as Clemson overpower­ ed Appalachian 7-5. Slated next for the Mountaineers is the Southern Conference Tournament in Charleston, S.C. Play begins today with Appalachian matched in the first round against East Tennessee State. The Buccaneers won two of three games earlier this season when the teams met in Johnson City. The double-elimination tournmentcontinucs through Sunday. Georgia Southern makes its first appearance in the event, which offers an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament for the victor. Appalachian State captured three con­ secutive victories to open up the 1991 tourney and advance to the semifinals. The Mountaineer's good fprtune came to a halt there, however. Appalachian dropped back-to-back contests to Westem Carolina and Furman ans was elimi­ nated. Furman then beat WCU for the title. ASU men shine in home meet By LYDIA E.

This semester I fell in the latter category, and I was lucky enough to find a friend who was in the former category, so one sunny afternoon we walked to the I.D. Center at Trivette Hall to transfer some of her mealcard money to my mealcard. I had agreed to pay the transfer fee, which, by the way, has gone up from $5 to $6, but I'm not one to sweat one extra dollar. I wrote the $6 check to ASU, and a Food Services employee took my mealcard and my friend's and punched in something on the computer. All of three This week has been tabbed Earth Week—a week in which the environment minutes later, she handed our mealcards back to us and receives toppriority and much recognition. The environment and theprotection told us what our balances were. of the world should be a high priority item each day, each week, each year. This is what amazes me. Six dollars isn't very much Appalachian has been known as a leader in the recycling movement. The money, but it seems like a lot for a process that only takes txlum*** nmt **, AS U does its part to recycle university has received awards from the United States Environmental Protec­ tion Agency, from the National Wildlife Federation and from the North Carolina Recycling Association. Last year, ASU's second year with a campus-wide recycling program, the university diverted more than 155 tons from its 2,400-ton yearly waste stream. In February of this year, Appalachian saved 217 trees by recycling paper. The total trees saved by the university's recycling efforts now exceeds 3,000. Chancellor John Thomas initiated the project in fall of 1989. Since then, Jim Rice, director of ASU's recycling program, has carried the torch to see that recycling is conducted campus-wide. Riceorients offices as to ways to bebetter recyclers, publishes a recycling newsletterat virtually no cost and continues to make recycling on campus more convenient. The efforts of Rice, as well as the efforts of the university should be praised. ASU is a leader in the recycling field. Recycling is far from a convenient practice. It takes a commitment and an effort to recycle. Those who go the extra step deserve a pat on the back. Students should join ASU's commitment to recycling. Each student should go the extra mile to preserve the future and aid the preservation of the world in which we live. Newspapers, computer paper, notebooks, aluminum cans, plastic and glass can be separated and recycled for future use. Make the effort. Divide your recyclables from your trash; then carry the recyclables to the appropriate bins. The university is making strides to see that campus recycling improves each day. Each person should do his or her part as well. While this is Earth Week, please keep in mind that this is your planet, not just ihis week but each and every day of your life. friends come and go, but enemies accumulate. -Thomas F. Jones, Jr. No one can makp.ifou feei inferior without uour consent -Elenor Roosevelt THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON ^ 16ut J Aau? 1ogo over* 1o the cc'gbhor's yard ~k>r q Excuse >me/Zeek/ Jew nvwles... be rghlb&lc, II J=ZZ three minutes. Six dollars for three minutes of*work means $120 an hour. Where does all that money go? Yes. the Food Services employee who does the computer work for the transfer gets paid, but Food Services employees don't get paid $120 an hour. Sure, there"s upkeep on the computers. But $120 an hour means $2880 a day. Food Services could buy a new computer for that amount of money. Naturally I'm exaggerating a little—I know that there is not a line of people waiting to get money transferred from mealcards, 24 hours a day. I know Food Services makes far less than $2880 a day in transfer fees. But this still doesnot change the fact that $6 is a pretty steep price for a process that takes three minutes. College students also pay for their official transcripts. Student transcripts,however, are free. Once when I asked the people working in I.G. Greer what the difference was between a student transcript and an official transcript, I was told that the official transcript-had the ASU seal on it and was sealed in an ASU envelope. Official transcripts and student transcripts are both printed on the same type of computer, and both take approximately the same amount of time to prepare, not counting the 30 seconds to a minute extra to put the official transcript in an envelope. However, official tran­ scripts cost $2, and student transcripts are free. What does the $2 go toward? Envelopes? The ink required to affix the ASU seal onto the transcript? Two dollars per student is a pretty steep price for these items. Applications to college and graduate schools require an application fee, anywhere from $15 to $50, depending on the school. What does this fee go toward? "Process­ ing" is a pretty generic term—no one seems to know what it means except the people who are actually "processing" these applications. I can't think of any task involved in "processing" that costs $15 to $50 per student Yes, the people who are considering these applications have an important job to do and should be paid well for doing it. However, employers everywhere also have to spend time considering applications, applications that don't require a $15 to $50 fee just to have them considered. Standardized tests such as the SAT, the NTE, and the GRE also require a fee of about $50, give or take a few dollars depending on the test. The SAT is required to get into college, the GRE or the GMAT is required for admission to graduate school, and the NTE is an example of a professional exam required to enter a certain profes­ sion, in this case, teaching. Why does it cost so much to take these tests? Those who take them put th^fr answers on bubble sheets, which take less than five minutes each to run through a computer. Yes, we have to pay for the bubble sheets, test booklets, pencils, a location to lake the test, and upkeep on computers that grade the tests. But $50 per person? Those moving into apartments are faced with all kinds of hookup fees—telephone hookup, cable hookup, water hookup, sewer hookup and electricity hookup are a few examples. These are all highly overpriced and are part of the reason it can cost $500-1000 to move into an apart­ ment. Telephone hookup, for example, runs about $45, depending on where you live. Hooking up a telephone is just a matter of keying in some information onto a computer, a process that only takes five to 10 minutes. I suppose this money also goes toward upkeep on these computers as well as upkeep on the phone lines, upkeep that I suppose isn't covered by the fee apartment and house owners pay every month for local service. But does this really cost $45 per household? We pay too much to live in society today. There's definitely no such thing as a free lunch. That's a generally accepted fact. But we should at least know where our money is going. I can't help wondering how much I pay each year in "fees" that don't seem to have a reason behind them. The name "America" does not unify us By CHRIS SEXTON Appalachian Staff Writer The purpose of this article is to raise some questions about the ways we collec­ tively defineourselves, and generate some new ways of thinking about who "we" are. It seems to me that many of us, myself included, have made assumptions about the way things are, as if somehow our ideas about the world were etched in stone. Who does the etching? Where is the stone? Some anchorman says "and that's the way it is" at the end of his glossy, corporate-controlled newscast and defini­ tive truth has been magically created. All the newspapers say "Clinton is strongly favored," and future truth isprophetically urged upon us. History rings with truths: "Wecameto America for freedom." Whose freedom? Native Americans'? "The Civil War ended slavery." What about migrant workers? Segregation? Child labor? Unequal pay? "We hold these truths to be self-evi­ dent, that all men are endowed by their Creator..." Blacks? Women? Children? Many of our ideas which pose as truth (I call them myths, in an incorrect but adequate labeling) were created by small groups of people (corporations, govern­ ments, teachers, etc.) who provide (using the media, etc.) most of our "informa­ tion" about the world. These myths are so ingrained that they are a part of our language. We do not talk about them, we talk in their terms— we assume them to be true in the very language that we use. One such myth is "America," or "society" as we "know" it. America, as the (arbitrary) geographic area, obviously exists, but "America" can and often does mean more than just that. Often it is synonymous with "society," since we tend to believe that people who live in the geographic region are all some­ how tied together in a unique, unified way. This isnot true.There is no truly shared body of experiences, no shared ethic, no shared system of living, which we all participate in. You might say "but you live under the government, you spend money, you speak English—that makes you part of society." The government is a small group of people who make and enforce laws. Our economic system is essentially enforced by the government and small groups of people in corporations. But these laws cannot define our society. Laws are vari­ able, our response to laws is individual and variable, and laws do not comprise the whole of our experience. The fact is that the government does not truly govern. Does government exist when people drink underage? When I'm driving 75 mph in a 65 mph zone? Do laws exist when they are broken? Maybe the fear exists that the lawbreakers will get caught.So society is defined by (con­ fined by) fear? If America is real, it is repression, be­ cause it only exists to the extent that people are controlled by their image of it, fear of breaking its rules. These rules are not absolute—a small group of people called "the government" created them. If people believe the government and its laws define a society called America, and that they live in America, underneath its rules, they will be controlled by the myth. Sure, I'm affected by government, but I'm affected by a lot of things. I am not governed, however. If we accept the gov­ ernment as an absolute, as defining America and all of us as Americans, we are choosing to govern ourselves by a myth. Repression by this myth is a per­ sonal choice. But the myth of America is more than just laws. What about language? Voting? Television? Cars? Fast food? All these things are variable in meaning, and the ways they affect us are wildly diverse. The language of a drug dealer is drasti­ cally different from that of a politician (usually), who shares few words with Chinese-Americans, who rarely engages in suburban college football conversa­ tions. Words in a gay night club are not the same as those spoken in a video-game arcade, which mean little to the funda­ mentalist Christians. Language, like our legal/illegal behav­ ior, is personal. Voting is not the same for the heroin addict and non-voters as for the Exxon CEO or the Vietnam vet. Television is a corporate institution (a small group of people with money and power.) To me it is mostly sexist, a homophobic consumer fantasy;to another it is an afternoon sedative; to another it is information and reality. Cars are an institution. To me they are an abomination; to another a car is iden­ tity and power, to another, the instrument of her paralysis in an accident. Fast food is an institution. To me it is a fast and convenient way to destroy for­ ests, overfill landfills and kill our parents with heart disease. To another it is em­ ployment and survival; to another it is a social event; to another it is good food. Belief in the existence of an America is usually an exercise in complacency moti­ vated by fear and helplessness. Govern­ ment is frightening; television is over­ powering. Challenging them seems diffi­ cult. We are afraid to challenge thege institutions, so we pretend that no such challenges exist. We pretend there is a unified society called America. We pretend we are not ourselves; we pretend we are Americans. We imagine we are part of a national community with unified goals and a feel­ ing of comradery and friendship, but we do not have that closeness. (Do you feel close to George Bush and Jerry Brown? Jesse Helms? Fundamentalists? Social­ ists? Children? Gays? Lesbians? Floridians? New Yorkers? Environmentalists? Older people? The Army? Cocaine ad­ dicts? Millionaires in Palm Beach? AIDS victims in Boone? Farmers? Inmates? Police officers? Insane people?) A desire for community is natural. But our need for freedom and community is not satisfied by the myth called America. Indeed, our freedom and community is more often dissolved by it. We know the Cosbys and the Simpsons better than our own next-door neighbor. We want friendship, so we purchase cars and name them, or call phone-sex lines, or watch thenews. We celebrate our 21st birthday as freedom—the day the government "lets" us drink. The fact is, we are free—we do not need the government's permission, nor corporate assistance, nor television guidance, to be ourselves and to be together. America is a myth, but you and I are real. Letter on SAC contained discrepancies Assistant Vice Chancellor defends SAC To the Editor A recent letter related to the proposed Student Activity Center contains inaccuracies and significant misinfor­ mation. The author represents a number of statements as fact, when in truth, they are misleading and inaccurate. First, the letter states that the center would "require slashing hill tops and filling valleys...in the middle of the university's environmental study area...known to contain endangered plant species." Although this sounds foreboding, it is not true! The university is conscious of its responsibility to protect the environ­ ment The building will be sited so as to produce the least possible impact on the surroundings. Part of the site will encompass an already existing football field. While there is no question that the Student Activity Center will disturb a small wooded area, it by no means wipes out an entire forest much less destroy the environmental area. In fact, earth excavated from the site will be transported rather than filled in the 12acre area as critics contend. Dr. Frank Randall, a distinguished retired Appalachian biology professor and co-founder of the current biology studies area, has publicly stated that the center would produce minimal effect on the environment. Interestingly, in 1952, Newlind Hall was the only structure located across Rivers Street. Since that time, every facility constructed on that side of campus has intruded upon the environ­ ment However, there is a clear distinction between intrusion and environmental damage. Second, opponents incorrectly refer to the center as a "gym" and claim the project shows a lack of concern for academic priorities. The truth is since 1968, the year Varsity Gym was completed, along with Belk Library, Sanford Hall and the Administration Building, state-appropriated funds have been used to add 704,747 square feet, all for academic facilities. In addition. another 215,173 square feet was renovated for academic facilities. The total commitment to academics in terms of dollars spent (unadjusted for inflation) is in excess of $41 million. It is important to understand that the Student Activity Center funding comes from the state's capital budget Capital funds can only be spent on buildings. Thus, cancelling the center will not enable the university to purchase a single book or fund a single faculty position. State allocations for books or additional faculty are tied to enrollment. Third, the letter claims that UNCsystem students have never had to pay anything for other such facilities. The truth is that former Appalachian students helped finance the construction of Varsity Gymnasium through student fees. More recently, the student union, Quinn Center, Trivette Hall, the Student Support Building and many of the residence halls were constructed with student fees. Furthermore, students at UNCW, ECU and UNCG have had their student fees applied toward the construction of similar facilities. In fact, just last month the UNCC Board of Trustees with student government approval, okayed the tripling of student activity fees to construct a $26 million sports arena. Their arena would include a 9,540 seat arena for sports and graduation as well as weight rooms and game rooms. Perhaps it's ironic that UNCC student leaders noted that the center would allow graduation ceremonies to be held jointly as well as provide a place for students to gather. It is incumbent on today's leaders to see the future and plan accordingly. Each generation owes that to succeed­ ing generations. Appalachian State University and this region will continue to grow and mature. Facilities such as the Student Activity Center will function for the next 40-50 years. It will allow the university to continue to serve its students and the region far into the 21st century. Students who attended Appalachian in the '50s and '60s paid fees to construct buildings in use today. They saw the future and reacL-'' out to embrace it. This generation can do no less for those who will follow. Mark Neil Lev ine Assistant Vice Chancellor for Public Affairs �JLi. The Appalachian. Thursday Anrilll 1007 !

This petition named "A Resolution of Conscience and Concern" has aroused some controversy in that it may stand in conflict with some of the principals stated by "Unity Week" orga nizers. The stated goal of Unity Week is to provide a peaceful alterna­ tive to the hate represented by the Klan. The petition states that the Klan promotes violence and in­ timidation against innocentpersons and endeavors to promote prejudicial ideas through the school boards. Further, the petition asserts that the Klan's principles and intimidating activities are only a small minority and do not represent the positive, open ac­ cepting views of the vast majority of Watauga County residents. The petition continues on to say that the Klan exists to further rac­ ist propaganda and intimidation with the use of firearms and the use of symbols such as burning crosses. "Be it resolved that we, the undersigned, respect the value, worth, dignity and rights of all persons; that we oppose un­ Unity Walk Duck Pond Field Today 6 equivocally the dehumanizing principals and intimidating tactics of the KKK, be it resolved that we support and encourage every agency, with whom there is power, to limit legally, control lawfully and monitor openly all events of the KKK in our county in an effort to protect all citizens from intimidation and threat," the Resolution of Conscience and Concern states. "Be it further resolved that the endorsers of this resolu­ tion encourage persons, organizations, groups, or agencies in other North Carolina counties also to go on record and state publicly that the values, philosophy, and activities of the KKK are not consistent with the beliefs and values of their communities," the petition states. Recycling increases 55 percent S U participates in two programs to further recycling efforts equivalent to 159,125 cans and a 7.9 percent recycling rate. In February in 1992, 301 pounds, or 7,525 aluminum cans were recycled. According to Jim Rice, ground engi­ neer of the physical plant, one recycled can saves enough energy for a television set to run for three hours. "Some people have the impression that aluminum cans lay around in containers waiting to be recycled," Rice said. One recycled can will be back on the shelf in six to eight weeks. Glass also works well in the recycling process, but it does not appear back on theshelf as fast as the aluminum cans. Rice said. The second recycling program operat­ ing on campus is the office paper program which began in October of 1989. The physical plant is responsible for recycling containers which are located in offices around the ASU campus. Physical staff representatives have dis­ covered from the "waste" stream in the offices that paper is predominate. In the program's first month, 383 pounds of paper were recycled. Seventeen trees are saved for every ton of paper recycled. Currently, the ASU bookstore is selling "tree free" paper which is post-consumer paper. JENNY HARTWIGER pal achian Staff Writer Appalachian State University helped ycle 153.223 tons of material in 1992, 5 percent increase from 1990. ji order to meet the needs of not only faculty and staff but also the students, U has developed two different campus ycling programs. ["he First program is handled by Resiice Facilities and involves convenient ycling for on-campus students.

This weight is A single tree removes 250 pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year. At the same time, one pound of carbon dioxide is emitted from the ex­ haust of a car every mile. Last month, 217 trees were saved through recycling. ASU has recently established a new policy for tree removal. For every tree that must be cut down, three new trees will be planted, Rice said. These new trees will not necessarily be thesame type of tree or planted in the same place.Trees are taken down because they endanger people and buildings when they have the potential to fall. Rice said,"There is no recipe for recy­ cling. What works in the residence halls does not work in the offices." The physical plant staff welcomesques­ tions or concerns raised by the students. Rice has observed that the useT offers more information about recycling than the waste does. Students can leam more reading the campus recycling newsletter, Appalachian Recycling Update,or contacting thephysi­ cal plant. "What better time to begin recycling than on Earth Day, April 22. Recycling one can will make a difference," said Rice. RECYCLING OPERATIONS EXPANDED: There has been a 55 percent increase of campus recycling effort since 1990. One of the programs allows students to recycle almost everything with the exception of plastics in the residence halls. Opportunity for students to use meal card money running out over. Dubberly said 'The main reason is the cost that is involved." Some students have as few as a couple of pennies left on their accounts, but some have large dollar amounts left, according to Dubberly. Therefore, the University must set a standard that applies to all students, and that is simply not to give any students their extra money back, Dubberly said.

He said, "99.98 per5®F their money is spent." ere are a few reasons why students refunded their money that is left i If there is any money left over on the express account, the money,like themeal card, does not transfer over to the follow­ ing semester. An interesting aspectDubberly pointed out about thesetwo meal plans is students are using a great deal of their money on the cards on the vending machines. Dubberly said there has been a 500 percent increase in the use of the vending machines. He attributes the increase to the addi­ tion of a variety of products and an in­ crease in the number of machines on campus to 148. Dubberly said food services spends about $7 million per year on the services it provides. This money "stays in the Food Ser­ vices budget. It is used to offset the price increases for the next year," Dubberly said. The meal plan for first semester fresh­ men is required. They are able to choose from three different plans. They can have a plan that allows them to charge $500, $625 or $725. After their first semester, freshmen have the option of lowering their meal plan to $375. Upperclassmen are allowed to use these dollar amounts for their meal plans also. Students may also use the express ac­ count, which has a minimum amount of $20 required. This card is applicable for a variety of uses: food services, the university book store, laundry services, the Broyhill Inn, the student union and many other services that are providedon campus, according to Dubberly. In other food service news, Dubberly said there has been some concern over the fact that the cafeteria, except for the food court, has been closed for dinner since the pizza place opened on campus. However, hesaid there is no more need for concern because the cafeteria will re­ open in the fall for dinner on MondayThursday from 4 to 6:30 p.m. The hours for breakfast and lunch remain the same; Monday-Friday from 7 to 10:30 a.m. for breakfast and 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. for lunch. I Environmental attitudes surveyed ASU News Bureau AppMtchhn Photo by KoMi Jack ton 'tk ^SNT SAVES CUPS- ASU students save thousands of cups each year by using the reusable Food Service mug. The mug W^ble at Food Service'locations and can be used for discounts on campus as well as off campus. m A majorityof North Carolinians would be willing to pay more taxes to clean up the environment, according to a survey of Tar Heel attitudes conducted by political scientists Dan German and Marvin Hoffman at Appalachian State University. The survey, funded by a grant from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation and administered through Appalachian's Program for the Study of Environmental Change, also found those attitudes vary from region to region and that the environment, education, the economy and drugs are perceived as the problems facing the state today. The state-wide random telephone survey drew responses from 488 residents. Households in each of the state's 100 counties werecontacted. The survey hasa margin of errorof plus or minus 4.5 percent "We found an overwhelming concern, above what we ex­ pected, expressed about the quality of the environment," Ger­ man said. Ninety-three percent agreed or strongly agreed with the statement "the quality of the environment (air, land and water) is a concern to you." Sixty-three percent feel "the condition of the United States' environment is getting worse." "An interesting contradiction, which makes it difficult to address environmental problems, is that 50 percent feel the quality of the local environment is staying the same," German said. "People perceive the environmental problem as being somewhere else, not where they live." These attitudes create a policy-making problem for local governments seeking to imple­ ment environmental regulations. "People are less likely to work to improve the environment or work to eliminate environmental problems through government action if they perceive the prob­ lem as being elsewhere," German said. The media's portrayal of environmental problems may con­ tribute to a lack of concern with local environmental issues, German said. "People see reports on problems like Love Canal and Chernobyl on TV," he said. "Local problems aren't as dramatic and don't receive the same television coverage." According to the survey, state residents are concerned about a variety of environmental problems including garbage disposal (95.3 percent), industrial pollution (91.6 percent), agricultural herbicides, pesticide runoff (89.3 percent) and acid rain (80.7 percent). Of those surveyed 68 percent recycle paper, 67 percent recycle cans, 50 percent recycle bottles and 20 percent compost waste. While a majority of respondents expressed a distrust of government (64 percent saying government cannot be trusted to do what is right for the people), 78 percent of the respondents feel more government regulation is needed to protect the envi­ ronment. Sixty-five percent said regulation should occur at all levels of government (local, state and national). "It's very interesting that people in North Carolina have a very negative view of government," German said."Our responSee ENVIRONMENTAL page 4 �The Appalachian. Tut>xda\.

Fraternity catches grief for T-shirt logo (CPS)—The student senate at the Uni­ versity of Wisconsin-River Falls has ap­ proved a resolution suggesting that a fra­ ternity tpologize for designing and print­ ing T-shirts that students have condemned as demeaning to women. The S tudent Senate passed a resolution in late February that asked the Delta Theta Sigma fraternity chapter to be aware of the negative implications of the design and that the fraternity members recon­ sider pointing anything similar in the fu­ ture. The Interfratemity Council also ap­ proved amotion suggesting that the Delta Theta Sigma members comply with the student senate resolution. The T-shirts, which were sold for the fraternity's "Back to Jamaica" piarty, de­ picted a woman in a shark's mouth with the words"Decade of Dominance"below it. Tom Goodenough, president of the fra­ ternity, has declined to discuss the issue. Jim Chaussee, president of the Interfratemity Council, said there was concern about protecting the Greek im­ age, but henoted that the DeltaThetas had not violated any rules. I! "DTS has not broken any laws. At worst, they have used bad judgment," he said. Some students have begun collect­ ing petition signatures protesting the Tshirts. "Hopefully the petition will create a greater awareness among men and women on campus that this was sexist and de­ grading and dehumanizing," said Jeannette Barisonzi, one of the protesters and head of the Women's Student Asso­ ciation. Betty Bergland,a professor who teaches a class on Women and History, said stu­ dents discussed the T-shirt during a re­ cent meeting and suggested various courses of action. "They were justifiably outraged and have gone about this in a intelligent and thoughtful way," she said. Other students said the issue was not that important. "I think pieople are blowing this way out of proportion," said student John Kiecker. "I don't think the words are meant to go with the picture. The words relate to the fact that it was their 10th annual party."

Anril 14. 1992 NOW LEASING West End Condos The court case: What's at stake? /£pS)—While many college students oSS the country celebrate Earth Day on ,-nl 22, thousands of others will look the nation's Capitol with concern bout an entirely different matter. On Apfil 22, the U.S. Supreme Court »ill begin tohear arguments in a Pennsylvjnia abortion case that could overturn or -ore strictly limit existing abortion rights Redout in Roe v. Wade. Recent rallies for and against abortion l^ve once again brought the issue to the national spotlight. At the center of the debate this time is the case titled Planned parenthood of Southeastern PennsylvaCasey, on which theSupreme Court „31 most likely rule in July. The Pennsylvania law in question re^res women to notify their husbands of ^air decision to have an abortion. Other uirements include a 24-hour waiting • jod, detailed record-keeping by docof each abortion performed, which ».0uld be subject to publid disclosure, and ibatdoctors tell women about alternatives a, abortion and about fetal development. The appeals court upheld the constituonahty of the Pennsylvania law in all areas exceptspousal notification, which it sat placed an "undue burden" on the woman by taking away her power to de­ cide. But, on all of the other requirements, aPPeals court said that the Pennsylva­ nia law was constitutionally sound, based on the legal concept of "undue burden." Undue burden"is the phrase used most frequently in abortion cases by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. The term refers to a person's power to decide privacy issues for himself or herself. For example, the court says that spou­ sal notification violates the standard of undue burden because a woman could not obtain an abortion if her husband refused to agree to the procedure. But, parental notification in the cases of minors does not violate the undue bur­ den standard because every law dealing with parental notification upheld by the court has a clause that gives the minor a way around the notification. In nearly all cases, that loopholeis petitioning thecourt either for permission to get an abortion or for permission to not seek parental ap­ proval for an abortion. According to Ann Massie, law profes­ sor at Washington and Lee University, the undue burden standard is the one on which most of the abortion cases hinge. "What she says and what (the appeals court) means when they cite O'Connor is that if the (abortion) requirement doesn't impose an undue burden on the right of the woman, then the requirement must appear reasonable to the state," Massie says. "If it appears reasonable, then (the requirement) can be upheld. That allows the statewide latitude. But, if it does im­ pose an undue burden, then you have to go back to Roe v. Wade." That's why many fear Roe v. Wade will eventually be reversed. Most activists don't expect the Penn­ sylvania case to overturn Roe v. Wade because of the upcoming election. But, Massie and others note that the require­ ments the court is considering in the case S*tudcrrt Publications is now accepting applications for student employees. are a major departure from the abortion cases heard in the past few years, the most noted (Rust v. Sullivan) dealing with fed­ erally funded family planning centers and the type of information they can give women about abortion. The major departures in the Pennsylva­ nia case deal with the information a doc­ tor must give patients and the 24-hour waiting period. "There are two parts to the information requirement," Massie explained. "First, either adoctor or referring physician must tell the woman of the nature of the proce­ dure, the risk of having an abortion, the medical risk of canying the child to term and the gestation period of the fetus. "Also, someone must tell the woman that the Pennsylvania Department of Health has pamphlets about the unborn child and its development. They must also tell the woman her other options, including the fact that the father could be held liable for financial assistance or that the woman could be eligible for prenatal care through the state. 5-K 2 BR Furnished—$375 per month Water/Sewer Included 264-1533 TAN TAN TAN!

Students go to Washington in support of abortion rights (CPS)—Thousands of students trav­ eled to Washington, D.C., to take part in an April 5 inarch to support legislation that would set a national standard for abortion protection, a rally that drew half a million pro-choice advocates. Leslie Watson-Davis, coordinator of the Campus Organizing Project, said the demonstration sent "a clear and strong message" to politicians that college stu­ dents intend to use their votes to ensure the election of candidates who support abortion rights. "We, the students, will decide, from the statehouse to the White House," said Watson-Davis, who helped organize col­ lege students in a joint project sponsored by the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) and the United States Student Association. "They need 'to understand this is an issue of concern on college campuses and to graduating high school students." Watson-Davis said 169 students took part in a special training session and will return to their campuses to help identify and register pro-choice voters. Young people ages 18 to 25 will play a "pivotal and critical" role in the Nov. 3 election, she said. College students also spent April 6 on Capitol hill, asking legislators to support the Freedom of Choice Act—legislation that would protect abortion rights based on the principles established by Roe. v. Wade in 1973. The U.S. Supreme Court will hear ar­ guments April 22 on a Pennsylvania law that could overturn or more strictly limit existing abortion rights spelled out in Roe v.

This unity jis important for a college campus as it f for the entire world, for without it, nothing could be accomplished. Students around campus need to feel unified so that the stadium will be full at home football games, and everyone will feel as if they are a piece of the puzzle here atASU. In order topromote this feeling, SG A is sponsoring a Unity Week from April 13 through April 15. Organizations such as WASU, CRSA and various other clubs will participate in the activities planned. This week will hopefully enhance the unity felt around campus by getting many students involved. The week- officially began this past weekend, April 10 and 11. Chad Lacy, the Urban Music Director, and Lance Davis, the Metal Director, conducted a Unity Weekend for WASU. Both of these DJs' shows are stereotyped as being very dif­ ferent, and their objective was to show how they are alike. The two shows aired from 7-1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. During these programs the DJs aired artist interviews and gave away prize packagescontaining recently released tapes and CDs. In spon­ soring Unity Weekend, Lacy and Davis hoped to illustrate how two different as­ pects of ASU, such as radio shows, can also be very similar. The main activity of the week will be the 1992 Unity Day, on April 14. Today Appalachian and theCommunity of Boone will march together in response to the controversial KKK march taking place on Easter Sunday. Terie McHale, the Public AffairsChair­ person of SGA, said "We hope to promote unity through diversity coupled with un­ derstanding and knowledge." The walk will begin at the Duck Pond in front of Trivette Hall at 6 p.m. and will proceed to Sanford Mall. All clubs and organizations around campus are strongly encouraged to par­ ticipate in this "Friendship Walk" in or­ der to promote the unity between ASU and the community as well as show sup­ port for worldwide unity and friendship. The clubs that participate are encouraged to display positive messages at the walk, such as "Support Unity through Diver­ sity," or "Diverse Yet United." The walk will also feature speakers. SGA President Daryl Ghent and Chan­ cellor JohnThomas will both speak about issues concerning unity and its impor­ tance. These speakers, along with SGA, hope to create awareness about unity, and how differing groups can have a central bond­ ing without losing sight of their individu­ ality. Throughout the "Friendship Walk," various students will be distributing purple ribbons to symbolize friendship and unity among everyone. History Dept. offers Newport trip By CHRISTY LOHR Appalachian Staff Writer Ptioto CourtMy at John Corbatt SUMMER ADVENTURES AND LEARNING: A trip to Newport is offered every summer through the history department. Miny students have taken advantage of opportunities of learning and being in a beautiful environment. Imagine this: after a long day of sum­ mer school classes on Early Colonial Ar­ chitecture, 19th Century American Lit­ erature and Early American Business, you decide to take a walk around campus. You stroll across the vivid green lawns to the edge of a cliff that overlooks the beautiful, cool Narragansett Bay. As you get tired you amble back to the 19th century mansion that you call your dorm for a quick nap. If this sounds exciting, then you might want to look into the option of spending the first session of summer school in Newport, RI, at Salve Regina University. This five-week program is in its eleventh year here at Appalachian. The cost, $1275, includes the summer school fee, transportation to and from Newport, lodging, sailing, field trips, food and a lobster dinner every Sunday night! Salve Regina University is a small. Catholic school in the southern tip of the Narragansett Bay. The campus is located in the mansion district of Newport. Not only do students get to enjoy the ancient beauty of the campus, but they experience the town's wonderful heritage as well. The courses offered revolve around and are enhanced by this aspect. Students take field trips every Friday to such his­ toric sites as Boston. Plymouth Rock, Salem and New Providence. Those inter­ ested in American business may visit old textile mills and examine the origins of North Carolina's industry. A study of major New England writers acquaints students with the creative minds from the area such as Herman Melville and Nathaniel Hawthorne. For those look­ ing to work off a PErequirement, a sailing course is offered. The experience is not limited to history majors only. Courses can be chosen to fit just about any area of study. Internships can be arranged through the program. Dr. George Antone of the History De­ partment spoke ofstudentswhohave spent the summer working in yacht museums, or Newport's recreational sailing indus­ try. He has seen many students return after graduation for employment. The summer session also offers an adult learner program. This is a one-week ex­ perience for adults. For $425 they can spend a week participating in architec­ tural classes, mansion tours and other educational opportunities. Dr. J. J. Bond leads garden tours in which the ancient trees and vegetation of the area are studied. Three and one-halfmile cliff walks along the beach are of­ fered. The adults join the summer school students for meals and field trips, and both groups have a wonderful time inter­ acting. This fee includes housing, food, transportation and classes. The professors and participating stu­ dents are anxiously anticipating the trip. There are spaces for 25-30 applicants. For an application form or more informa­ tion see either An tone or Bond in the Department of History, Bond in the de­ partment of Biology, Dr. Whitener in the Department of Home Economics, or Dr. Whitener in the Department of English. This trip proves tobe a wonderfullearn­ ing experience and a memorable adven­ ture. Dr. Beuie Bond summarized it per­ fectly: "You'll only love it!"

Spring has | finally arrived, and that means it is time lot spring cleaning and Appalachian's Spring Open House. To help future undergraduates decide •liich schools will be right for them and t assist upcoming Appalachian fresh­ men, ASU offers a Spring Open House to answer questions and provide informa­ tion to try and make the transition from high school to college easier. Appalachian's Spring Open House will be held Saturday, April 25 beginning in the Varsity Gymnasium at 8:30 a.m. Events include an information fair, cam­ pus tours,departmental open houses, resi­ dence hall open houses, mini sessions and a general session. The information fair will be on the main floor of the Varsity Gym, and repre­ sentatives from academic departments will be available to provide any informa­ tion and answer any questions you may have. Campus tours will be taking place from 8:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. led by Appalachian Student Ambassadors.Departmental open houses will have faculty members present to answer any questions, provide tours of the department and provide academic in­ formation. Residence halls will have activities planned for parents and prospective stu­ dents and have rooms open to observe. The general session will take place from 11:30 a.m. until noon at Farthing Audito­ rium, with university representatives, and the mini sessions include presentations from Admission, Residence Life and Scholarship/Financial Aid. The annual open house is one of the two opportunities provided for prospec­ tive students and their parents to visit and learn about the campus. The other formal opportunity. Family Day, takes placedur­ ing fall semester in the month of Septem­ ber. Open house is planned for late spring to hopefully insure good weather. Open house is geared mainly for high school juniors who will bedeciding which schools to apply to at the beginning of their senior years. It is also a chance for upcoming freshmen and their families to visit the campus and leam what opportu­ nities are available to them. Paul Hiatt of Admissions described it as "a day to get families on campus and put our best foot forward. It's a good opportunity in particular. It's a good time to visit because everyone is easily acces­ sible. It's a time when the entire campus is geared up for visitors."

April 14 JQQ? •APPALACHIAN Teachers trade break for classroom time Appletree Ap<wtK, «H Appalachian News Bureau Ever wonder what teachers do during summer vacation? Some shoot tennis balls from a giantslingshot. Others make clouds in a half-gallon jug. More than 150 teach­ ers from across North Carolina have been hiking mountain trails, growing gardens and collecting weather data in institutes sponsored by Appalachian State University's math-science center and ge­ ography department. The science field is changing so rap­ idly," math-science directorSteve Dyche said."These workshops help teachers keep up-to-date with the changes." Teachers learn new activities, methods and re­ sources useful in teaching math and sci­ ence courses. They also share teaching methods and ways of dealing with prob­ lems in the classroom. 'Teachers are given materials to take back to the classroom and also share what they leant with their colleagues," Dyche said. "These workshops will have an im­ pact on thousands of students." Several of the institutes are co-spon­ sored by the State Department of Public Instruction and address future cur­ riculum changes. "In 1994 every high school in the state will be required to offer geology classes," Dyche said. "These classes will probably be assigned to biol­ ogy teachers who have a background in life science but may not be familiar with earth science." This year theIntegrated Life and Earth Sciences Institute has helped middle school teachers use their biology back­ grounds to teach geology concepts. In one activity, teachers hiked up Mount Mitchell to leant how the geology of a mountain affects plant life. If funded, a workshop will be offered next summer for high school teachers. PRISMS, another science institute, shows teachers how to use common ma­ terials such as tennis balls and Match Box cars to teach physics in high school. A two-weekmath institute is helping teach­ ers use computer software to teach alge­ bra and geography. Many of the institutes are funded by Eisenhower Math and Science grants. Teachers attending the math-science in­ stitutes receive a $35 daily stipend, tu­ ition and materials. Participants in an institute operated by the geography department leam how to integrate weather and climate informa­ tion into the social studies curriculum. "National Geographic sponsors these pro­ grams to enhance geography instruction in the country," Dr. Bill Imperatore, one of the programs instructors, said. Teach­ ers use information about a country's climate to teach the geography of the region. 'Teachers leam classroom activi­ ties to entice students to become aware of our meteorological environment, how we influence it and how we are influenced by it," he said. Participants make instrument shelters to install at their schools, and receive workbooks and other activity re­ lated materials. • 2 Bedrooms »2 Bathrooms .

ASU dropped two of the three games to slip to 11-26 on the season. On Saturday, April 12, ASU had their bats in gear as they cruised to a 10-1 downing of the Paladins.

Steve Bronack and Gary Davis came in for mop-up duty and allowed five runs over the final three innings. Furman, which rapped out 13 hits in the game, scored at least one run in six of the game's nine innings. Spears led the assault with a three-for-five output, including a homerun. Bohacek and Russ Roper also had two hits. Scott McDaniel had two hits for Appalachian. Appalachian returns home today to face the Davidson Wildcats.

"But I wouldn't say athletes are more prone to violence." One study on athletes and violence had a differ­ ent conclusion. The Philadelphia Daily News in 1986 surveyed 350 schools for the years 1983 through 1985 and found that athletes "had been implicated in at least 61 sexual assaults (and)... that football and basket­ ball players were 38 percent more likely to be implicated in such crimes than the average male college student." Another researcher came up with different find­ ings. Dr. Richard Lapchick, director of the Center for the Study of Sports in Society, at Boston's Northeastern University, has estimated that ath­ letes are not any more prone to breaking the law than the average citizen, when athlete-related crimes are compared with crimes committed in the general population. The National Collegiate Athletic Association said it has no national studies on athletes and violence on record, nor does it know of any that exist. ^ Ed' Lady Apps run at UT Senior Sabrina Hill posted a 39' 9" mark in the triple jump, a seasonal best performance in this event.

Fitzmorris said directing athletes' energies can be a problem sometimes. "You want them to be confident, but there's a fine line between confident and cocky," he said. He acknowledged that athletes are under firessure to be aggressive and to win games, but he said that should not be used as an excuse for wrongdo­ ing. College athletes also have to learn to ignore taunts, as hard as that may be. "If they do something stupid, they deserve to pay for it," Fitzmorris said. "I tell them, 'You live in a fishbowl, and you're going to be challenged every day of your life on the field and off. You have to walk away from that." Murray Sperber, an Indiana University English and American Studies professor, wrote a wideranging book on problems in college sports called "College Sports Inc."

Bad traffic, that is. Anyone who has lived in Boone for any length of time is familiar with it. A prosperous ski and tourism town, Boone always has more traffic than the population-of5000 traffic it was meant to accommodate. Lines of traffic several blocks long, stopped behind a single red light, or a single car waiting to turn into the New Market Center parking lot.

A violent situation is not wanted in the streets of Boone or Blowing Sock. ithas been rumored that the Klan will be carrying firearms during the march. Whether they will or not has yet to be determined; however, firearms when tarried in a march, undermine the principles of peace. Those who oppose the Klan should not stoop to that level. They should not bring any violent thoughts, yet alone violent weapons, to the march sites. The Klan displays its ignorance by the simple nature of its views. Racism is alive and rampant in such an organization as the KKK. Such organizations remind us of the hate and prejudice that needs to be eradicated. The time for peace is now. The time for open mindedness is now. And the lime to end racism is now. Let this be a weekend of peace, not one of violence. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself —from "Desiderata" waiting to smell the all-too-familiar going-do wn-themountain smell of burning brakes. I must admit that I have been one of these drivers. I'm from Eastern North Carolina, where the steepest hill is the equivalent of the slope in the stadium parking lot. But one of the first lessons 1 learned upon my arrival at ASU three years ago was, if going down a mountain too fast, don't ride the brakes—pump them gently. If the person behind you sees more than a few flashes of red at a time, you're braking too much. I also learned that if I smelled anything burning, 1 probably should lake my foot off the brake for as long as 1 could without letting the car slam into the one in front of it. The opposite problem a driver may have going down the mountain is the Speedy Gonzales who insists on riding the bumper of the car in front of him or her, even if the car is going 10 miles per hour above the speed limit. We have all seen these cars—the ones that look like they're emotionally attached to each other. You would think that, nearly a century after people started driving cars, drivers would have learned by now thai this practice is highly dangerous. I don't have the statistics on exactly how many accidents this causes, but it's only common sense that if you're riding someone's bumper and that person throws on brakes, there's no place for your front end to go except straight into that person's trunk. Also, why do some people absolutely refuse to use turn signals? Are they unaware that the lever to the left of their steering wheel that clicks up and down when touched was placed there for the purpose of signalling to other drivers that they plan to disappear around a comer at any given moment? Or are they just mysterious people who prefer that their intentions remain unknown, although not mak­ ing their intentions known in this way might cause an accident? Equally annoying are people who insist on signalling five blocks in advance. Of course, from my personal observ alions, these are the same people who drive atleas t 10 miles per hour below the speed limit. I avoid two-lane highways whenever I can specifically to avoid getting behind oneof these people without being able to pass. When I am forced to drive behind one of these people, in the midst of my annoyance and impa­ tience, I want to ask, What's the point? The interstate speed limit was changed from 55 to 65 miles per hour because most people thought 55 was too slow, and traffic lawmakers determined that 65 was perfectly safe. If going 65 is perfectly safe on the interstate, and will get you to your destination more quickly, why do people waste their own time, and the time of the people stuck driving behind them on a two-lane highway, by going 35 in a 55 miles per hour zone? For those of you who simply aren't comfortable driv­ ing the speed limit, don't have a wreck driving faster than you feel you are able to.If you are on a two-lane highway, however, and there is a line of cars behind you,please pull over and let them go by. Otherwise, some inconsiderate moron will probably decide to ride your bumper and make you have a wreck. Another question regards specifically Boone and the areas surrounding it. Why does whoever is in charge of these things insist that the best time to do construction on major highways leading out of Boone is on the first day of an ASU break? Traffic leading out of Boone on the Wednesdays before fall break and Thanksgiving, the Thursday before Easter, and the Friday before spring break is bad enough, without one blocked-off lane, or­ ange cones and barrels. It takes 30 minutes to get out of Boone before a break as it is. There is no need to add another 15 minutes to a college student's sometimes already-long trip. A major traffic law is "Watch for pedestrians." Judg­ ing from two accidents at the crosswalk at Walker Hall this year, this law is obviously being ignored by some people. Something needs to be done about the crosswalk at Walker. Hashing yellow caution lights obviously aren't efficient enough for controlling pedestrian/vehicle traf­ fic. Maybe a traffic light with "walk" and "don't walk" signs could be installed, such as at the crosswalk between the business building parking lot and Farthing Audito­ rium. But meanwhile, cars going down Rivers Street, please be careful and watch out for pedestrians. That particular section of the street is very difficult to cross. Anyone who drives through Winston-Salem or Burlington going home knows that at any time of the day, you are likely to run into a traffic jam, especially if it is raining. For some reason, rain makes people drive slower—I haven't figured that one out yet. But anyway, if you do get into a traffic jam, don't scream and honk your horn at other drivers. People who do this don't make the traffic move any faster. They just irritate the people in the car with them and the people in the cars around them, who also wish the traffic would speed up but know that mumbling choice words isn't going to make it happen. Women's group should clean up its wood By MATTHEW McNANEY Appalachian Staff Writer How much wood would a university chuck? Not very much, judging from what I have seen this week outside in Sanford Mall. You may have noticed the large pile of wood and stack of stones sitting off to the side of Sanford Mall. You may have also pondered why the heck it has been there for so long. Well, never fear, your fearless reporter went undercover to ask daring questions over the telephone. To begin my investigation, I found out who was in charge of reserving Sanford Mall. I won't repeat the department name because it really doesn't deserve any blame, especially since I bled the infor­ mation out of it I told the department that since no one wanted the wood, we could donate it to somebody who really needed iL They said I could not because it belonged to a group that was going to build a bonfire. I asked which group, and they said it was a certain women's group. This was verified by a couple of people that work in the office in which I am enslaved. According to my sources, the bonfire was cancelled due to snowfall; so the wood was left on Sanford Mall. This is where it gets confusing, so read this slowly. I asked if they allow bonfires regularly and they said, not anymore be­ cause the group did not have the proper papers. "I thought you said it was snowedout," I said. "Yes," they said,"But we did not know about the paperwork that they had failed to complete." This ruined all the plans I had for my ritual involving a golden calf. Now you know the loose facts. Two facts are concrete though: 1) a women's group was going to have a bonfire, which has never been allowed before and 2) the remains of what looks like a smaller ver­ sion of Slonehengehas been lying outside for over two weeks. I, naturally, do not like fire. It must be those Frankenstein tendencies in me. Fire has a habit of getting out of control and I don't like the idea of a 14-foot, flam­ ing pile of lumber surrounded by class­ rooms. Imagine the smoke choking the build­ ings! Imagine the wind blowing the flames helter-skelter! Every time that I have gone camping, I went to many lengths to make sure that the fire was out, such as setting up Twinkies around the sight to attract Smokey Bear. (Do you remember those annoying commercials:"IT'S SMOKEY BEAR! NOT SMOKEY THE BEAR! You wouldn't say Easter THE Bunny would you"? My question is: who cares? Both of them are nonexistent. You cannot make a grizzly bear wear a hat. Ask my one-armed Uncle Leroy; he knows.) Usually bonfires are reserved for smallminded purposes such as book-burning, sacrifices and incinerating benches at Duke after a victory. It did not happen, however, and the plastic under the lumber is prohibiting two patches of grass to flourish. I'm not sure who is to blame for the wood sitting there, but let me recommend to the group of women who wanted to demonstrate for equality; you should consider picking it up yourselves, instead of waiting two weeks for a bunch of men from the physi cal plant to take it away for you. Employees taken advantage of Store has violated wage and hour law To the Editor: "When we save, you save," Tom Smith, president of Food Lion grocery stores, tells prospective customers. But Tom Smith's workers are probably told a different slogan, more like, "When we save you slave." Food Lion stands accused of breaking federal wage and hour as well as pension laws. Some current and former employees, of the Salisburybased supermarket chain, have filed suit complaining of working as much as 30 hours a week extra, uncompensated. "Effective scheduling" is the phrase the corporation uses. "Effective scheduling" allots a certain time frame in which a task can be completed. If the task is not completed in the appropri­ ated amount of time, then the worker must clock out and complete the job. This procedure is in clear violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Wage and hour laws are not the only statutes being violated by the company. Food Lion is still in court for suppos­ edly violating federal pension laws. Pension laws were supposedly violated when employees were fired within months of being vested in the company's highly acclaimed profitsharing plan. To be eligible for the profit-sharing plan, an employee must have worked with Food Lion for five years. But many were fired within months of being vested. Many of the profit-sharing plan's beneficiaries are top-level executives. Kids who start as bag boys, (as Tom Smith did), and hope to move up in the company, find their hopes dashed approaching their fifth year with the company, when they are fired for uncertain reasons. These reasons are usually poorly founded accusations of stealing and gross misconduct. Other reasons for expulsion include working overtime without permission, a practice the company in fact seems to encourage by allotting too little time to complete a task. To make matters worse, workers complain of Gestapo-like tactics used by Food Lion's interrogation team to question supposed rule violators. One employee claims she was locked in a room and repetitively asked if she stole anything. The interrogation team would not take "no" for an answer, and after an hour of questioning, the worker finally signed a form saying she had taken some baked goods. Again, this worker was within months of being accepted into the profit-sharing program. Current and former employees of Food Lion have filed their complaints with the Department of Labor's wage and hour division in hopes of being compensated. Congress is also hearing testimony from the disgruntled employees. It's too bad that it is going to take federal action to resolve the case. North Carolina is a predominantly non-union state which has prided itself on employer-employee relations. But incidents like the Hamlet fire and Food Lion's wage and hour violations threaten our image as a successful state in which unions are not needed to see that employers don't take advantage of their employees. If indeed Food Lion wants to follow the North Carolina tradition, it will clean up its act without the help of the feds or the unions. The suit plans on being long and drawn out. Thus, it's up to the consumer, in the meanwhile, to put economic pressure on Food Lion so it will seek expedient act>°n to resolve the case. Therefore, my shopping is going to be done elsewhere.

Thursday, April 9,1992 Average ticket costs $15; but fines can go higher By ADAM HATCH Appalachian Staff Writer and By TRACY WILUARD Assistant News Editor By BECKY GRANGER Appalachian Staff Writer TICKETS PLAGUE STUDENTS: On the average, ASU traffic controllers write about 22,000 tickets per year. Above, Henry Crede issues a ticket to a student who is illegally parked. Average tickets cost $15. A problem that many students have during college is receiving fines from not utilizing their parking facilities correctly, said Roy Tugman, ASU Director of Public Safety and Security. According to Tugman, there is an "ample amount of parking for students" who register their cars. However, some students are not satisfied with their assigned parking spaces. Simply put, it is not physically possible to allow ^11 students to park where they would like to, Tugman said. The university attempts to control this problem by issuing traffic tickets to those students who illegally park their cars in reserved or other assigned parking spaces, Tugman said. Ten to 15 traffic controllers work about 20 hours a week each semester to help enforce the university's regulations. Their working hours are from 7 ajn. to 5:30 p.m. On the average, the traffic controllers write about 22,000 tickets per year. Average tickets cost $15, but they can range anywhere from $5 all the way up to $25. The cost for students to register their cars on campus is$70 per year. When students violate their parking assignments, they may receive a traffic ticket in a variety of ways and dollar amounts. See TICKETS page 2 Residence hall damages decrease by $4,000 By JENNY HARTWIGER Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian State University students who live in residence halls are no longer billed for collective dorm damages but the amount of collective damages in resi­ dence halls continues to decrease. Statistics indicate that collective dam­ ages in residence halls for the fall of 1990 amounted to $11,031.29 while$7,252.02 worth of damage was reported for the fall of 1991. Damages were distributed ratherevenly among all the halls with Doughton top­ ping the list twice, during the fall of 1990 and 1991. Doughton had $2,063.73 of damages during the fall of 1990, dropping down to $1020.31 the following fall. Some halls reported no damage for a semester including White, Coffey, Newland, Lovill and Belk. White was the only hall to report no damage for three straight semesters, from fall 1990 through the following fall of 1991. Winkler reported $902.48, the most amount of damage for the spring of 1991. Cunent spring damage is led by Justice a $967.91, the reported statistics as ofMarch 25.

Steam plant hires consultant to examine possible emissions violations By JEFF REID Appalachian Staff Writer Following its citation for emissions viola tons last summer, ASU hired a con­ sultant to help determine what course of action to take regarding the steam plant. Mechanical Engineers, Inc. has been charged with reviewing the overall ramifications of the university's steam generating plant, and making recom­ mendations to bring the plant into com­ plete compliance with regulations as well as prepare it for future growth of the campus, according to Dr. Ward Zimmerman, ASU vice chancellor for business affairs. "What we want is an effective and efficient steam generating unit to fulfill the university's heating requirements for the next 30 years, but it has to be an environmentally sound solution with enough flexibility to handle both current Air Quality Control Standards as well as any forseeable future requirements,"said Zimmerman. AppfcMn Photo by NothaSo Com STEAM PLANT TO BK KFFURBISHED: As a result of ASU's citation for emissions violations last summer, ASU has hired J^nsultam to help determine what needs to be done to improve the steam plant. For over 10 years. ASU has lobbied the North a^na legislating to receive approval to refurbish the aging facility, parts of which date back to 1929. Concern for the steam plant is not new. ASU has lobbied the North Carolina leg­ islature for over 10 years for approval to refurbish the aging facility,parts of which date back to 1929. for ASU to begin the process. "What we got is very pleasing to me," said Zimmerman, "In government work you often have to consider several different parameters, but in this case I feel that we are allowed to do it the best way pos­ sible." The state gave approval for ASU to hire a consultant and float its own bonds in order to pay for the entire process.The legislation is very flexible, allowing the university to float the bonds however it sees fit Financial firms will be on campus dur­ ing the next few weeks to determine just what bond rating ASU will recieve, based on the overall financial position of the university. "This is an extremely important time for us," said Zimmerman, adding, "I am confident that we will get a good rating." Mechanical Engineers, Inc. was- hired based on its history of work with steam plants for government municipalities, Zimmerman said. One project the firm worked with is the steam system that heats the government buildings in downtown Raliegh. The group will be responsible for reviewing the effects of the steam plant on economical and political levels, both current and future, and making recommendations that the university can then use to make the final decisions. One of the first noticable changes will be the construction of a weather station between the back fence of the baseball field and the tennis court near the ASU security office. The station will provide the university with information concerning the steam plant's emissions, but it will be used primarily as an academic tool, Zimmerman said. We hope that the more accurate data it provides will show that we are not actu­ ally in violation of the requirements, but we are still committed tosolving theprob­ lem," said Zimmerman. The station will be partially paid for by a grant, with other money coming from the Geography A Planning Depart­ ment According to Zimmerman, the refur­ bishment of the steam plant will beone of the biggest capital projects that ASU is currently undertaking, in terms of both cost and importance to the future of the school. "It is not a question of capacity," ha said. "We rarely run over 50 percent of our current capacity. The issue now is environmental impact and efficiency." �T The Appalachian. Thursday.

The problem is mainly because students who live on campus like to park their cars as close as possible to their dorms. But there is not enough parking to accommodate all of these stu­ dents. A positive aspect of parking for the students is thatthe traffic controllers "don't enforce the registration endof it on week­ ends" according to Tugman. For students who receive more than four traffic tickets, theircars will be towed at theowners' expense, $50. Tugman said that last semester the university towed about 270 cars. He explained that this is done because the university does not want students run­ ning up their tickets, and he said this is the best possible way to enforce this rule. BS 130 Hwv. 105 Ext..

Bang your head and feel the steel with ASU's metal band ASC News Bureau This is no ordinary heavy metal band. The Steely Pan band is, in fact, a groupof percussionists. These drummers produce a lot of sound, and the metal they play is much heavier than any guitar. Think of steel bands and you think of warm Jamaican breezes, up-tempo calypso music, colorful shirts and drinks with little umbrellas in them. When Appalachian State University's Steely Pan Band performs,audiences hear calypso music and such unlikely selec­ tions as classical, blues, rock and folk music. The band will perform in concert April 15 at 8 p.m. in room 119 of the Broyhill Music Center. Tickets are $2. Due to limited seating, advance ticket purchases are advised. Tickets are available from the School of Music office or from any Steely Pan Band mem­ ber. All of the music performed was ar­ ranged by director Scott Meister or band members. "We'll be playing everything from au­ thentic calypso to classical and mountain music," Meister said. Selections include Paul Simon's "Late in the Evening," "Under the Sea" from the movie"The Little Mermaid,"Handel's "Bouree" and a traditional Appalachian folksong "Leatherbritches." Guest artist Joe Amaya will lead the audience in "Ja­ maican Farewell." "If you've ever been to one of our concerts, you know we like to involve the audience as much as possible," Meister said. The steel pan band plays a variety of steel drums, some homemade, others crafted by 71-year-old EllieM anette, who invented the steel drum as it's known today. Proceeds from the concert will be used to purchase new steel drums from Manette. "Manette travels all over the country making his drums," Meister said. "You have to place your order two years in advance." The drums, made from oil drums, last forever if they don't rust, he said. . Each drum is different, as are the note patterns of each drummaker. Drums come in soprano, alto, tenor and bass tunings. The lead pan, played by Meister, has 28 to 30 notes. The bass pans, played as a set of four, each have five notes. The location of each note, some in the middle of the pan, others on the outer edge, make playing the instruments an athletic endeavor. "The lead and bass pans are the hardest to play," Meister said. "The bass pans have so few notes, players have a lot of movement from drum to drum."The lead pan, with its many notes, means tight controlled movement is needed to reach the outer notes. The band seldom plays in a traditional concert setting, preferring the more inti­ mate atmosphere available in rehearsal rooms or classrooms. "We like people to be right on top of us, to see what we're doing," Meister said. 'These perfor­ mances are for the people." The Steely Pan Steel Band has toured throughout the South at public schools, universities and Charlotte's Spring Fest.

The Appalachian State University De­ partment of Theatre and Dance presents the spring performance of the Appala­ chian Dance Ensemble, April 9-12 at 8 p.m. in Chapell Wilson Auditorium. Appalachian Dance Ensemble is a per­ forming group consisting of present and former ASU dance students who were chosen through an open audition last fall. Rehearsals began before Christmas and with agreat deal of hard work anddedica­ tion culminate in this spring's highly en­ tertaining concert This year's program consists of nine selections which vary widely in style and content There is everything from ballet to mime and modern to jazz including drama, humor, fantasy and just pure move­ ment The music is as varied including selections from "Fishbone,""Bela Reck" and "Shadowfax" among others. The choreography is created by both faculty members and advanceddancestudents. Director Marianne Adams, a mem­ ber of the Theatre and Dance faculty, has choreographed a modem piece which is highly energetic and uses patterns and groupings as its theme. She has also cre­ ated a lyric ballet in which the choreogra­ phy follows the musical form of the com­ poser Phillip Glass. Dr. Frank Mohler, Director of Theatre, is the lighting designer for this piece, in addition to the dance choreographed by Susan Lutz and the mime piece con­ structed by Teresa Lee. Faculty member Susan Lutz has cho­ reographed a large group piece that con­ sists of 18 dancers and takes a light- hearted look atrelationships between men and women. Teresa Lee, also a faculty member, has constructed a mime piece that uses move­ ment and theatre to tell its story. She has chosen a collage of music to further ex­ press the story. "I feel that this concert will be excep­ tionally entertaining with something for everyone," said Susan Lutz, co-director. "The caliber of the student choreogra­ phers is of the highest quality that we have ever had for the Dance Ensemble. They are all quite gifted and have worked ex­ tremely hard." Tickets for the Appalachian Dance Ensemble are $3 for students and $5 for non-students and are available from 8 a.m.-5 p.m.Monday through Friday at the Theatre and Dance box office located in room 134 of Chapell Wilson. A new sound sprouts from the Boone band bed in the Greenhouse Jy JOSEPH RAYLE Appalachian Staff Writer _ ^Ac°ustic guitars and congas probably f*11 the first things that come to mind , % en someone starts talking about rock n Toll bands. sharp contrast to the ethic of faster, and harder that prevails today, ~^*ene s own Greenhouse stands out for *M,ty to weave a hypnotic, grooving P^sitry of sound that is easy on the ears great to dance to. Founded early last fall by ASU stu­ dents Brad Batchelor and Tom Eure, Greenhouse is a band that manages to combine a number of influences to create a unique sound. "We're a pretty diverse group of people," said singer/songwriter Eure. "We have some common threads, but everybody pretty much has their own reasons for playing the music that we play." "I actually got started playing guitar because I wanted an instrument that was more portable than a piano," reported lead guitarist Batchelor. "My influences are people like Dickey Betts and David Gilmour. Both are kind of experimental in the way that they play, and that's what I'm out to do." Both guitar players primarily useacous­ tic guitars. While most songs feature Batchelor's guitar playing, the sound is much more mellow than that of the typi­ cal rock band. This isn't to say that Greenhouse lacks the ability to get into a groove and really smoke. The two-man rhythm section is responsible for both the rhythmic interest and drive of the band. "I guess thatI got started playing drums because I find it so physically and emotionally fulfilling. You could say that it is spiritual in some ways," said trap set player Alan Howse. Percussionist Mau Dewhirst is more to the point: "I feel it in my bones. There's this sense of release. It also gives me a sense of ground­ ing." The musical interests in the band vary widely. To different extents, everyone in the band likes the various types of improvisational music. "Mickey Hart is a big influence on me," said Howse. Eure draws some of his inspiration from the likes of Bob Dylan and REM. "My songs just happen," said Eure. "I don't labor over them. A lot of the time the idea for the song comes together after I've written the tune." The band's name "means a lot of things," said Dewhirst, "but I guess you could think of how a greenhouse is a warm place for things to grow. As a band we're like that; everybody has the space to grow and experiment musically. We're klso into that idea of the importanceof the green movement." A technology major at ASU, he sees the potential of Greenhouse as a tool to teach people about energy conservation and the evils of clearcutting. He said, "It's like Thomas Berry said, we need to put the Bible on the shelf for about 100 years and. get back to taking care of the Earth so that we can sustain ourselves. The Earth isn't for us to domi­ nate." "Greenhouse also has the connotation of there being a sort of family atmosphere in the band," added Howse."We're close, and we like making music together."

C) n W VV O APPS ENTERTAINMENT CONNECTION 262-2766 �SPORTS Mets back in Series Appalachian Sports Editor By now you've had plenty of time to scoff at my prediction that the Chicago White Sox will win the American League pennant. Here's how I see things over in the National League. NL East—There are no real standout teams here, just plenty of "maybe" teams. That's miybe as in, "maybe they'll finish first, maybe they'll finish last." No team exemplifies my "maybe" theory more than the New York Mets, who despite one of the more talented lineups in baseball, could only muster 77 wins during the 1991 campaign. But the Mets have made a serious effort to improve themselves since last season and get the early nod as division favorite. In the off-season, the Mets lured mammoth slugger Bobby Bonilla from division kingpin Pittsburgh, signed Eddie Murray to plug the hole at first base, and unloaded malcontents Kevin McReynolds and Gregg Jefferies on Kansas City in exchange for two-time A1 Cy Young winner Bret Saberhagen. Two-time defending champ Pittsburgh has mortgaged its chance to win again to save some money. The Pirates not only lost Bonilla, but also had to trade potential free agent John Smiley to Minnesota and release save leader Bill Landrum and his huge contract. The Bucs do have Barry Bonds and Doug Drsbek back, at least for this season, so this team nil win some games. St. Louis surprised people by finishing second a year ago and should be tough again. Lee Smith led the majors with 47 saves, and Bryn Smith mchors a rotation that produced five 10-game winners a year ago. The Cards also have rising stir Felix Jose to build the offense around. Chicago can contend for the crown but must find replacements for departed leaders Rick Sutcliffe and George Bell. Ryne Sandberg, the game's best all-around performer, is always dangerous. If new skipper Jim Lefesvre can patch up the rag-tag pitching staff, the Cubbies may surprise. Philadelphia should be improved this year for one simple reason: Len Dykstra is healthy. Dykstrn, who missed a good portion of last Je«son after he slammed his car into a tree, is one of the grittiest players around and sparks the Phillies to another level when he's in the lineup. Montreal could finish as high as third in the division, but more than likely will grace the cellar. NL West—The question here is "Can the Braves repeat?" Atlanta certainly has the talent 10 be a serious threat for years to come, but I don't think they'll be able to sneak off with the Me like they did last season. Msny of the Braves had career years last lt4son- Terry Pendleton, left for dead by St touii before last season, had an MVP season in to first year in the city that Ted Turner built. Is capable of putting up similar numbers this *e**°n? Probably not. This season the Braves are the hunted, not the banter. Last season, even as the Braves contended in late August and early September, few •jw the squad as legitimate. This year, the NL Atlanta is for real and will come full Wei at the Braves. Atlanta will win 90 games this year, but Cincinatti will win the division. The Reds, after a world title in 1990, struggled or most of '91. Eric Davis and Randy Myers are d°ne, which will ease clubhouse tension. Cincy '0t tWo starting pitchers from Los Angeles for •vis and picked up true-leadoff man Bip °berts from the Padres for Myers.

The Lady Mountaineers totaled 75 points to Wake Forest's 61 and breezed past Davidson 126-4. ASU was led ty junior Melissa Morrison and senior Michelle Rhyne who combined to capture five of the Lady Apps' eight first-place finishes. Morrison clocked a time of 14.3 seconds in the 100-meter hurdles to win and posted a mark of 37' 1/4" in the triple jump that was also good for first place. She went on to team with Alicia Foust, Alice Vinson and Lynette Gar din to win the 4 X 100 meter relay with a showing of 46.8 seconds. Rhyne captured both the discus and shot put with respective throwsof 128' 7" and 42'4" for the Lady Mountaineers. Freshman Precious Quire and seniors JanetOsada and Susan Inge captured the remaining first-place finishes for Appalachian. Quire jumped 17'6 3/4" to win the long jump and also finished thirdin the triple jump. Osada clocked 10:41.7 in the 3,000-meters while Inge posted 133' 3" in the javelin throw. "It was yet another unpredictable day for us weatherwise. It was cold and windy, and there were even some snow flurries. This marks three weekends with unkind weather. It seems like the weather is getting belter here in Boone, so hopefully as this happens we will see nice meets with nice weather," ASU Head Coach John Weaver said. Those recording second-place finishes for the ASU squad included seniors Sabrina Hill, Monica Teeter and Dee Anna Davis, Vinson, and freshmen Tonie Lazenby and Charlotte Redden. Hill placed second in both the triple and high jump while Teeter produced a strong performance in the 100 and 400-meter hurdles. Davis finished in the3,000-meter run, and Vinson competed in the 200. Lazenby finished second in the 400 and behind Vinson at third in the 200, while Redden finished just behind the topspot in the 100-meters. Third-place finishers for ASU were seniors Tania Free and Carrie Robinson in the 800-meters and 400-meters respectively. Junior Sherri Miller fin­ ished third in both the discus and shot put, and sophomores Beth Burleson and Nicole Disher posted thirds in the 100 meter hurdles and 3,000meter respectively. Freshman javelin throwler Shairee Young and highjumper Cynthia Miner also finished in third for the Lady Apps. "The weather has really been frustrating for our athletes. It is tough to compete and not be in any warmer weather. Hopefully, coming up at Tennes­ see we will have nice weather and will be able to warm up for a good, solid performance," Weaver said. The Lady Mountaineers will travel to Knoxville to compete in the Dogwood Relays this weekend before returning home to host their only meetof the season on April 18, the Mountaineer Invitational. The Lady Apps will take part in the SC Champi­ onships on April 24-26 in Huntington, W. Va. Appalachian won last year's outdoor title and has won 16 consecutive overall SC Championships.

Appalachian men compete at Virginia meet 4 X 100-meter relay team captures only first place finish of the day for the Mountaineers By LYDIA CRAVER Appalachian Staff Writer The Appalachian State men's track squad trav­ eled to Charlottesville, Va., last weekend to com­ pete ina quad meet with the University of Virginia, the University of Maryland and Liberty. Despite the absence of over half of thesquad due to weather-impeding conditions on the Virginia highways, the Mountaineers who made it to the event produced a strong showing. The4X 100 meter relay team of Leander Watts, Frank Allen, Eric Joe and Jason Dalton captured the only first place for the Apps as they clocked a time of 41.78 seconds to win. ASU Head Coach A1 Fereshetian was particularly impressed with the efforts of the relay team. "It was so cold there and after these guys com­ peted in the relay and in the 100 meters, I pulled them from their races because I felt good about what they had done," Fereshetian said. "Despite the slower times, the sprinters all looked good, especially considering that Allen, Watts and Joe are all working off of injuries. I knew by their performances that we had gotten something out of the meet." Watts, a freshman, captured the only second place for the Mountaineers in the 100-meters with a time of 11.03. Third-place finishers included Allen, sophomore Dennis Gutknecht and freshman RyanTheil. Alien clocked 11.19inthe 100 meters, Gutknecht posted a mark of 14' 7" in the pole vault, and Theil landed 6' 4" in the high jump. Other strong performances for ASU came from junior Eric Roberts, sophomores Seane Worthy and Dalton. Roberts finished fourth in the discus with a throw of 138' 1", and Worth finished fourth in the shot put with a heave of 47' 10 3/4". Dalton recorded a time of 11.2 in the 100 meters to also finish fourth in that event. "For our team members to compete as strong as they did in these conditions is a good indication of what we can do in better weather. Out of those that competed, we did pretty well," Fereshetian said. "It is just very difficult to compete full force in this type of cold weather because the muscles cannot warm up to produce the most adequate results." ASU will travel to reigning NCAA track cham­ pion University of Tennessee to compete in the Dogwood Relays this weekend before returning home to host the Mountaineer Invitational on April 18. The Mountaineers will compete in the Southern Conference Championships on April 24-26 in Hun­ tington, W. Va. The Mountaineers are coming off an indoor SC title and finished second in the out­ door race last year. College considers guidelines for allegations Pasco-Hernando Community College under scrutiny for way rape allegations handled (CPS)—The athletic program at Pasco-Hernando ' place. A Pasco County sheriff'sdeputy looked into Community College has come under scrutiny for the allegation and decided the charge was un­ the way rape allegations were handled by the founded. The athlete reported to Bowman that he had school's athletic director. Two scholarship athletes were accused of rape, been questioned and cleared but failed to tell him but the school's athletic director, Bobby Bowman the nature of the allegation. According to school took their word that they did not force their accuser attorney Christy Hessler, Bowman never asked. All of the women involved in the cases were into having sex. Three months later, a third scholarship athlete students at the community college. was accused of sexually assaulting another woman The school's handling of the allegations caught in the same apartment where the first incident took the attention of Florida officials who are consider­ ing statewide guidelines for handling sexual as­ sault complaints on college campuses. A committee from Pasco-Hcmando Commu­ nity College is rushing to develop new guidelines that are expected to be announced soon. "At next week's meeting, the board will review suggestions for prevention and management re­ sponse programs. The prevention measures to be discussed include educating students about rape and the development of programs that encourage student discussion and awareness," said Dr.Milton O. Jones, president of the school. The community college investigation came to light following a widely reported case at the Uni­ versity of South Florida that involved a star athlete I who was allowed to continue to play basketball after rapeand battery allegations weremade against him.

According to university officials, the school has •searched such a system for five years. Despite such prior planning, such a ysvem is not needed at Appalachian. Tfie system will cost over $ 100,000 to install. To foot the bill, the university as raised the admission application fee from $15 to $25. The system can be laintained at a cost of $10,000a year according to Associate Registrar Don R. ankins. While the maintenance cost appears relatively low, and the installation cost ill come from prospective students, the system is simply not needed. Appalachian should strive to maintain the personal element in any and all xnmunication between students and administrators. One of this campus' ivantages is that it has a friendly atmosphere between students, faculty and aff. The university should be proud to continue such bonds, and not explore tea-natives which would detriment the personal touch. A telephone registration system would completely eliminate any human ntal Students now get to work one on one with a terminal operator. The udent can see immediately whether a request is confirmed or a course is mceled. Closed courses are less frustrating when a friendly terminal operator there to attempt alternate selections and work as long as it takes to get a hedule the student is satisfied with. Such one-on-one contact would dissolve a phone system is applied; students would have no guarantees that they could ay on the phone as long as it takes to arrange a schedule. A telephone registration system could also prove frustrating if students ceived busy signals when calling in. Students at other schools that use the stem frequently complainof getting busy signals and being unable to register ithout hours of hassle. While such problems may or may not occur at Appalachian, the system is still * needed. The current system works, so why change? The system is said to eliminate long lines during the registration period. Few «ients experience long delays. The system as it stands is very efficient, udents do not have to wait for extended periods of time. The terminal >erators, while providing that personal touch, get students in and out rapidly. ,e university appears to be trying to eliminate a problem that doesn't exist. The university's efforts to make things easier for students is appreciated; '^vever, telephone registration is not the answer for curing students' ills. While in the planning stages, Appalachian should reexamine its reasons for ding telephone registration. The current system adequately serves the 'dents of ASU, with few long lines and theadded pleasure of a personal touch. iTiinistrators should take a closer look at phone registration before spending ^ey for an unnecessary "convenience." Beware of credit card merchants When I was in high school, my parents always told me that no one would give me a credit card until I had graduated from college and had a full-time job with a good, steady income. Even then, I was told, I might have trouble getting a Mastercard or a Visa until I had estab­ lished some credit with a gas card. Neither my parents nor I realized how wrong they were until I got to college and, instead of denying me CTedit, people stood inside and outside the student union beg­ ging to give me some credit—up to $1,000 on one card. Now, what am I going to do with $1,000 credit when L don't even make that much in any given six-month period of time? It is ridiculous how easy it is for college students to get By TRACY TARLETON credit cards. Many organizations have used credit card Appalachian Commentary Editor applications as a type of fundraiser, as the organization represented by the man who accosted me in the student One day, upon walking through the student union, union. Every time a member of such an organization gets either on one of my regular trips to the Sweet Shopor just someone to fill out an application, the organization to escape the ridiculously cold weather we've been receives 50 cents or a dollar. having, I was approached by a man who said, "How So, naturally, the members of this organization are would you like to help us out with a fundraiser?" going to shove credit card applications at anyone capable The first thing that crossed my mind was, he wants of writing his or her name. People who have never seen me to fill out a credit card application. But I wasn't a credit card in their lives and people who are having to absolutely sure, and I try to be the type of person who is take second jobs to make the minimum payments on always willing to help people, so I asked,"What do I have cards they already have are all subjected to thesame sales to do?" pitch. There is no distinction. He led me to a huge table set up in the mini-mall area Credit cards used to be a good idea for college students and, true to my suspicions, shoved a Mastercard/Visa who havechecking accounts—we couldn't write a check application in my face, along with another application in any majordepartment store without producing a major that I didn'teven look at, along with a pen."Just fill these credit card. For this reason, credit cards became almost a out, and you'll help us and you'll also receivea prize."He necessity for students who wanted to write checks in gestured toward the boxes of M&M's sitting at the other these stores. However, it is now illegal for such stores to end of the table. ask for a creditcard as a formof identification.Therefore, I shook my head. "I can't fill out a credit card applica­ only two reasons exist for getting a credit card while in tion." college. The first, also a good reason, is in case of "There's no obligation," he insisted. emergencies, especially for students who have cars that Yeah, right, I thought. might suddenly break down. I debated between trying to explain to this persistent The other reason, however, is probably morecommon: vendor thatI already have more creditcards than any full- access to money one wouldnot normally have.This is the time college student with a part-time job should legally reason that gets people in trouble. Credit cards are dan­ be allowed to have, or just walking away.I was in ahurry, gerous to those who aren't responsible with money. The and figured I'd be wasting my breath trying to explain least that could happen is ending up with a debt that takes myself, so I chose the latter. a couple of years to pay off. At the worst, a person who abuses his or her credit could end up in court or even in jail. If a person charges a lot and then makes only the minimum payment, the credit card company is likely to extend that person's credit The reason? The more the person charges, only making the minimum paymenteach month, the mote interest the company gets. A person who isn't good with money in the first place who then receives more credit is likely to charge more, therefore getting him or herself further and further into debt. The vicious cycle continues. The vendors who aggressively parade their applica­ tions upand down the student union aren't thinking about these things—they just want their 50 cents or dollar per application. Of course, it isn't really their fault They're just doing their job, trying to make some money for their particular organizatioa The blame for these problems falls on the shoulders of those who decide that the organization will use this type of fundraiser, and on the credit card companies who hand out credit to almost anyone who applies. And of course there is the argument I received— there's no obligation. No, I guess technically there isn't. However, you fill out the application, receive the card, and have two choices: either keep it and pay yet another annual fee (yes, even on the Discover card if you live in North Carolina), or cancel it in writing and cut up the card. But the fact is, if you're going to do that, what is the point in filling out the application and letting someone else go to the trouble to set up the account in the first place? Campus organizations, if you need a fundraiser, please consider some other, less dangerous type. You'll not only save a lot of people a lot of pain that can come from having too much credit, but you also won't annoy as many people by asking them to fill out applications they neither need nor want. By the way, this column is not based on personal experience. I have managed to avoid the many credit caid vendors who have approached me in the student union after I applied for and received my quota in credit cards.

Vendors alive and well in student union Students subject to accosts at any given time while walking through the union By MATTHEW McNANEY Appalachian Staff Writer How is the Plemmons Student Union like an airport? Well, besides serving bad peanuts, both places feature people ask­ ing you to fill something out or give them money. In the last two weeks I was asked to apply for a credit card, go to a picnic, help a"charitable" organization, vote for a certain candidate, and trade my coach tickets for two first-class tickets plus... never mind, that didn't happen. I work in the student union, so I am often going in and out. As a result of this, I have been assaulted many times. Before you can even get inside, they attack you outside of the entrance.There is always a table setup for credit card applications, and I am approached by someone with a Monty Hall philosophy. "Excuse me, how would you like to sign up to get our credit card? With it, you can buy all those things which you really don't need in the first place. For example, you could buy a $40 crock pot to"crock" beans overnight. Now you can have all the money you want, and it will only cause you to be in debt for the rest of your life. DidI mention that you get a 2-liter of Coke and a frisbee?" These tables have already caused me to apply, and receive, twoother credit cards. I usually tell them that, but itdoesn't help. "But with this card, you get money back, and you can let it just sit in your pocket." Sure, I can get money back, if I can find some kind of business that will take their recently established card. I tell them this, explaining that Boone is not a thriving beehive of credit commercialism—it's more like a wasp's nest of embroidered pillow merchants who either take cash only or a member of your flock. "But I'llgive you this Garfield voodoo doll to hang on your rear window."Great. Once inside I am either 1) told what is in a hot dog, or 2) asked to come to a picnic, at which I know absolutely no one. It would be interesting to see these two tables argue what the menu of the picnic should consist of. "Hotdogs have lips, eyes, noses, throats, intestines, raindrops on roses and whis­ kers on kittens!" The ashamed meat-eater usually low­ ers his head and utters, "Yeah! So what?" because hot dogs are as American as Jim andTammy. We wereraised on them (hot dogs, not the Bakers). A few days ago, during elections, two candidates were sitting in the union. One candidate sat contently, waiting for people to ask questions.The other had a complex web of operatives stationed around the union. By the time you got to the bookstore or Walker, they would rappel, down the side of the building yelling "hut, hut, hut" and show me how their candidate had been recommended by more people that I didn't know (because I don't go to many pic­ nics). It's pretty unfair that we are preyed upon in the union. Everyone at this col­ lege is fairly polite, and certain factions know this. You are in your own little train of thought when it is derailed by solici­ tors. And you feelcompelled to smile and either walk, like a Caesar Romero film' star, to their table, be nice and turn them down, or drop the largest, fattest lie in their faces. "Excuse me, sir/ma'am/sucker, could T take a few minutes of your time?" they; plead. "I'm sorry, I would help you but I need to go to language lab this very instant They might start without me," you say before turning into the Sweet Shop. If you are like me,you are wasting your life away. (Don't try to be like me, it will just cause problems). If you can't stand the people who bother you in the union, then raise your hand and say sternly, "I'm sorry I'm not interested,"and walk away If you really want toget mean, vote for the other candidate. I did. Readers against activity center THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON © 1991 Universal Press Syndicate ASU's priorities way out of order To the Editor: A professor of mine once said that if you want to see where a school's priorities lie, don't listen to the school's talk, look at what is being built on campus. If this is true, thai plans to construct the Student Activity Center and a new administration building should cause those of us who are concerned with the future of ASU to call for a change in the administration's priorities. It is time for university officials to focus on providing an education to students which will leave them competitive in the professional and academic environment. ASU is in dire need of an expanded library, renovation of decrepit buildings such as SmithWright, and improved equipment and resources within individual depart­ ments. The scarce funding available, however, continues to go toward projects unrelated to academics. This issue has been raging for as long as I have been a student here, yet the university refuses to change its position. My guess is that the adminis­ tration feels that their "problems will graduate." Concerned students, faculty, staff and community members should commit to continuing protests against the SAC and other unnecessary building projects until the university responds to those it claims to serve. Incidentally, I find it ironic that the students, specifically the 1991-1992 senior class, have decided to show where their priorities lie by establishing a library fund as the class gift. We can only hope that the popular maxim will prove true, "If the people lead, the leaders will follow." Angie Brunson ASU Box 15986 Money should be spent on academic projects To the Editor: In a year when the fiscal climate in Raleigh is especially bleak, officials in charge of Appalachian State University's building needs continue to advocate their frivolous and heavily unpopular plan to construct the socalled Student Activity Center. The Appalachian version of the Dean Dome has never been popular among students and professors and indicates a poor choice of priorities when academic needs are going unmet The bond bill referendum which is hoped to fund the SAC and other NC system projects is going to be difficult to pass at best without such controversial projects included. At issue are two major problems with the SAC: environmental and student funding. The huge facility would require slashing hill tops and filling in valleys. This would occur in the middle of the university's environmental study area which is already known to contain endangered plant species and archaeo­ logical remains. Funding for the $25 million project calls for approximately $10 million state funds, $10 million in student support and $5 million in donations. The $10 million in student fees for a coliseum is unprecedented North Carolina system students have never had to pay anything for other such facilities. For about 10 years, every full time Appalachian student would pay about $500 in fees over the 4-5 years it takes to get a degree. Appalachian students in a recent poll (April 16 & 17,1991) voted 1025 to 389 to oppose the SAC. Daryl Ghent, SGA President, stated at the time that the turnout was impressive and that the SGA would follow the majority of students in opposing the project. Appalachian faculty voted 2-1 against the project in 1990, and in 1991 the Faculty Senate unanimously opposed fees being deducted for the SAC. Legislators in Raleigh are closely watching university priorities. Dan Blue, Speaker of the NC House, recently wrote in response to Appala­ chian student letters, "It is reassuring that so many of today's students realize the demands on our educational systems and are willing to forego a fancy new building in order to ensure quality in the classroom." How long will it take Appalachian officials to get the message? Harvard Ayers Professor, Anthropology Department �i The Appalachian Thur^av, April Q /0<fi> !

"The two tickets engaged the univer­ sity community in debate, and that's the whole idea behind the process. That is how it should be done," said Gurley. Another reason therun-off election was smoother is because there were not as many mismarked ballots as in the initial election. Mismarked ballots included bal­ lots with two tickets marked, tickets with erasures, or write-in candidates "Poll workers madesure they explained to people the way their ballots must be (in order to be counted)," said Robinson. "Instructions were also written on the ballots for the run-off election." Gurley said he feels the run-off elec­ tion really helped them. "Some of our people were more confident than they should 've been going into the first elec­ tion. The run-off election enabled us to see where we could improve our vote counts," said Gurley.

The problem Notkin sees is there is J always a system of "flowing incompe-| lence."

Adopt-A-Campus, which recently began, hopes to preserve the ^3 beauty by allowing groups and organizations to clean the various areas of campus weekly. Since the end of February, 22 areas in the Adopt-a-Campus program have been adopted by 25 ASU clubs and organiza­ tions. The program is a campus-wide clean-up program initiated by Alpha Beta Psi, the National Accounting Fraternity, in correlation with the Environmental Issues Committee as well as Jim Rice, the Campus Recycling Coordinator. The kickoff day for the Adopt-a-Campus program was the weekend of Feb. 29, 1992. Although its most recognized purpose is to keep ASU's campus as clean and presentable as possible, another inten­ tion, and perhaps a more important one, is to heighten the awareness of those clubs and organizations participating on the is­ sues of recycling. "The litter on campus is created 99 percent of the time by the students. If the students take an active role in cleaning up after themselves, maybe it will make them realize that there are environmental con­ sequences to all of their actions whether large or small," said Rice. In coordinating the project, it was de­ cided to divide the campus into 36 sec­ tions thatorganizations or clubs can adopt. The responsibilities of each organization or club will be as follows: the areamustbe cleaned once a week, the recycling mate­ rials should be separated and placed in the appropriate recycling bins on campus, and the group should try to use the plastic bags from the marketor grocery store and then recycle them. In return, the club or organization will be publicly recognized on a full-page advertisement in The Appalachian. This program sounds rather demanding in re­ gards to cleaning the campus once a week; however, each area is not limited to one group for adoption. By having more than one group adopt an area, your club or organization's re­ sponsibility will be cut 50 percent or more. The clubs and organizations participat­ ing are: SAVE, PAL, Hoey Residence Hall, White Residence Hall, Newland Residence Hall, East Residence Hall, Kappa Delta, LambdaSigma Alpha,Bap­ tist Student Union, Beta Alpha Psi, Gardner Residence Hall, ZAPEA, Bowie Residence Hall, Highland Biological Club, the Student Government Associa­ tion, The Appalachian Geological Soci­ ety, Alpha Kappa Psi, Kappa Alpha, Westminster Fellowship, Criminal Jus­ tice Club, Scabbard and Blade, WASU, ASU Student NCAE, Young Republi­ cans and Residence Life (CRSA). Rice said that many areas still need to be adopted in order to make this program a complete success. A coalitionof groups cleaning up trash on campus alleviates many hours of labor for the maintenance workers on campus as well as saves a great amount of money for the University, Rice said. This allows the workers who normally spend many hours a day picking up trash to be reallo­ cated to other projects that help enhance Appalachian even further. Rice said. If your organization has any interest or questions concerning Adopt-a-Campus please contact Dr. Rebecca Kaenzig at 262-6207, Dr. John Callahan at262-2746, or Jim Rice at 262-3109. Refund policy changes approved by trustees for Appalachian students ^VAN-DA NELSON chian News Editor ^ Stents may receive more cash back withdrawing from the university, 8 March 20 decision by the ASU °f Trustees. " board voted unanimously to ap^ ®I*oposal which allows students to 8 90 percent refund if they with^ Fjj. uring the drop/add period, which is five days of classes. Prior to this decision, students received a 60 percent refund. All refunds exclude advance tuition and housing deposits. Other changes allow students to re­ ceive a 60 percent withdrawal refund if they withdraw during the sixth to 15th day of classes, up from 40 percent. During the period from the 16th to 25th day, students will receive an additonal 10 percent, up to 30 percent from 20. After the25th day of classes, there is no available refund. This day also coincides with the last day when students may drop a class without any academic pen­ alty. No changes were made in the policy which allows students to receive a 100 percent refund if they notify the school before classes begin. Withdrawal from the university and the concept of continuing enroll­ ment while altering academic courseload can be a source of confusion to some students, said ASU Registrar Brooks McLeod. To withdraw means to leave the uni­ versity for that particular academic pe­ riod, but dropping classes simply revises the amount of hours in a student's courseload, McLeod said. Changes were also made in the refund policy for students who reduce their aca­ demic load. Students will receive 10 percent less than before, down to 90 percent from 100, if they reduce their academic loads during the drop/add period. After the five day period, students who reduce their academic load have no avail­ able refund. "We think one week is enough time to make up their minds. There is a difference between withdrawal, which usually occurs due to circumstances beyond the student's control," McLeod said. The refund is automatically credited to a student's account but a check can be issued at the student's request, according to McLeod. The UNC system, whichdoes not have a policy to govern the institutions' refund policy, leaves the decision up to the indi­ vidual schools. McLeod added that ASU's refund policy is consistent with that of other schools'. When students faceconfusion with the refund policy, McLeod suggests turning to the registration newspaper which lists the available courses. All policies are listed in the bulletin. �77K Appalachian Tuesday. April 7 IQQ?

" __ ___ Student union construction slated By ASHLEY MITCHELL Appalachian Staff Writer Construction of the new student union begin May 18 to avoid disruption of the spring semester. The plans for the student union have been finalized, approved by the state and are currently available to potential con­ tractors. Bids will open on April 30, and the contract will be awarded to a contrac­ tor. By approximately mid-September, renovation is scheduled to be complete on the second floor and parts of the first will floor of the union. All offices from Work­ man Hall will then move into the student union. After Workman Hall is razed, the new building will be built on the lot between the union and Workman Hall. Construc­ tion fences will be up this summer and fall. The parking lot behind this lot will be closed for two years because the office trailer will be located in that area. The process of delays has been benefi­ cial with plans being fine-tuned to make a better student union in the long run, said Dave Robertson, director of student pro­ grams. Some highlights of the plans are that the mini-mall will turn into an art gallery and a multi-cultural center. The game room will soon be the permanent officeof Outdoor Programs. There will be 13 conference rooms, a study room, computer room and a fit­ ness center. The snack bar will be twice as big as the Sweet Shop and have a wider variety of food. Robertson is working with a group of students from SGA to come up with new policies. They are currently working on a naming scheme for the rooms of the union. J Reunion.

House aides say. But House education leaders also dropped a controversial plan to convert the grant program to an entitlement with guaranteed funding. Some Democrats joined conservatives in questioning the cost of the plan, which was approved by tbe House education committee last year. The most recentaction effectively ends debate on the entitlement plan, at least for this year. The Senate already dropped its entitlement plan in February citing a lack of support. Many student groups and educators expressed disappointment with inaction by Congress, saying an entitlement would have provided needed guarantees to lowincome students struggling to pay for college. As an entitlement, Pell Grants would no longer be subject to the annual appropriations process that often leaves the program short of its authorized fund­ ing level. "We agree that this bill is a step for­ ward, but we're disappointed that the House could not bring forward a bill that is a giant step forward," said Selena Dong, •/ legislative director for the United States Student Association. Dong said she expected sponsorsof the entitlement to introduce a separate bill on the plan sometime in the mid-1990s. Elsewhere in its bill, the House also authorized a pilot program of direct stu­ dent loans provided through the govern­ ment to colleges and universities. More than 100 schools are expected to partici­ pate in the program, congressional aides say. Under the plan, colleges would take over the duties of banks in processing and administering student loans, with the Department of Education taking over the principal oversight role. The Bush ad­ ministration has expressed opposition to this plan. The bill also would remove equity in a home or farm as a factor in determining a family's eligibility for major student fi­ nancial aid programs.In addition, it would broaden eligibility for student loan pro­ grams to include students from families earning as much as 575,000 a year. The full House approved the bill by a vote of 365-3.

Bush does not support direct loan pro posals. He has said reauthorizing current student loan programs is better than try­ ing to revamp thesystem with direct loans and has expressed consistent support for broadening the guaranteed student loan programs. Bush told The Chronicle of Higher Education that he thinks that students with good grades should get larger grants. His proposed "Presidential Achievement Scholarship" would offer $500 to Pell Grant recipients who main­ tained good grades in high school and college. "Common sense tells us that tying per­ formance to reward is an effective way to motivate our children to strive for higher achievement," he said. President Bush has said he opposes giving federal financial aid in return for community service. He claims such a tool would "preclude" some students from receiving aid if they could not perform such service. With regard to political correctness is­ sues, Bush says he adamantly opposes the movement. "On too many campuses, an atmosphere of real intolerance for dis­ senting or unfashionable political opin­ ions has developed," he said in a White House release, citing speech codes, one­ sided curriculum requirements and limited guest lectures as part of the prob­ lem. He expanded on his concern about PC in The Chronicle: "It's ironic that at the same time the rest of the world is throw­ ing open its doors—and universities—to democratic values, some U.S. students are being prevented from sampling the wares for a free and open marketplace of ideas. "Intending to correct past injustices, political correctness all too often has the effect of replacing old prejudices with new ones." Concerning overall education issues.

In 1991, the program's second year, Appalachian diverted more than 155tons from its 2,400-ton yearly waste stream. The university is making significant progress toward meeting the 25 percent recycling mandate for all state agencies by 1993. While the program's first month saved 320 pounds from landfills, its fif­ teenth month saved 26,969 pounds. The program will grow through the addition of a cardboard baler and expansion to residence halls. "We hope recycling at Appalachian will be as much of an experience for students as homecoming and sledding down the upper stadium field," said Pro­ gram Director Jim Rice. Stan programs. By the year 2000, the president said he hopjes that every adult American will be literate and have "skills necessary to complete in a global economy and exercise the rights and responsibili­ ties of citizenship." Campaign staff for Pat Buchanan, Bush's chief Republican opposition, did not respond to repieated requests for back­ ground information on his views on higher education or to requests for an interview with the candidate. However, Buchanan released the fol­ lowing statement about his views on pub­ lic education: "American education is in a state of decline, largely the result of an ever in­ creasing education bureaucracy, and a lack of compietition within the system. From affirmative action in hiring, to bus­ ing for racial balance and assaults on uniform, standard testing, too much ideo­ logically motivated experimentation has been inflicted on public schools. fr =^\ Save the Rainforests House-Senate conference committee that will try to resolvedifferences between the completing House and Senate pirop»sals.

SMITH ^palachian Et Cetera Editor By KRISTINE FORREST Appalachian Staff Writer Just when students were beginning to give up hope of ever finding a summer internship or job, Appalachian s Hospitality Management Student Association sponsored Appalachian Springtime, a two-day program to offer career ideas. The March 25-26 program attracted industry recruiters to campus and was designed to demon­ strate Appalachian's student hospitality potential. "The program helped to show that there are summer jobs available during a time when every­ one is concerned with the recession," said Dr. Michael Evans, the faculty advisor for Hospitality Management. As a result of Appalachian Spring­ time, several job offers were extended. The first event of the program, which took place at the Broyhill Inn and Conference Center, in­ volved everyone in a casino night. Students were able to play casino games while a blues band played in the background. Participants were able to win sweatshirts and other prizes. Several different companies, some local, and others from out of state, were represented in the evening's event. "The casino night was something that no one else was doing," said Evans. "It makes us unique. It showed recruiters that ASU has a good program and is fun." The second day of Appalachian Springtime con­ sisted of a formal dinner and interviews. The din­ ner, a gourmet event attended by about 50 people, was organized and carried out by students. or §'*4 ••There were Three Estates in Parliament; but, Reporter's Gallery yonder, there sat a l oUrth Estate more important far then they all.

In the way we argue, voice our opinions, id practice our beliefs is every American's ght. However, the rights of the students of ASU rere •violated on March 24, 1992. In my interpretation of the words that present this country, people are free to voice eir opinions as long as it does not infringe on e rights of other people. AS U students did not even have the choice of hether or not they wanted to pick up The ppalachian. My friends came up to me all day and asked here the newspaper was. I felt that I had let the •tiers down even though I had no control over , e incident. No one can tell me that I don't have proof at people took armloads of The Appalachian vay from places of distribution to where easy Cess to the paper was impossible.

Hmm... you don't think so? How uld anyone read it when there was no way to 1 access to the papers? ' can suppose that it was because The *PaJachian endorsed the new SGA president ^ vice president. And I can also assume that *se people that disagreed with the paper's J*i*on took the papers. In my opinion, it made ' °d"ier candidates, even if they knew nothing it, look unprofessional. So, if the involved rsOns are reading this, I think they did more "ITl lhan good. [( L °ums me Up when I read that some senator ^IFier legislative body has banned books or sv ision shows or music. The involved people done the same thing that these legislative Jle® do, except on that day they took their jj and every other person's rights away as "It was executed as if it were a five-star hotel," said Evans. "From the beverages, to the menu, to the table settings...it gave good practical experi­ ence in event planning." A career fair was also held on the second day of Appalachian Springtime. The fair was open to everyone and was represented by several different companies. The Hospitality Management Student Associa­ tion raised the funds for Appalachian Springtime by having an auction last fall. The association auctioned off goods and services donated by local businesses. Approximately$800 was raised for the casino night, dinner and interviews that made up Appalachian Springtime. This was the fifth year that Appalachian Springtime has taken place and will hopefully continue to be an annual tradition. However, this year seemed to be much more successful than previous years. "This yearrejuvenated theprogram,"said Cheryl Martin, one of the special events coordinators of Appalachian Springtime. "It gave a whole new impression." James Lingle, president of the Hospitality Management Student Association, agreed. "It gave back dignity that was lost in the past," he said. Lingle described one of the benefits of Appala­ chian Springtime asa chance tomeet withpotential employers and talk on a less formal basis. Students should be less nervous going into an interview and will "have an opportunity to see how people will perform when, sooner or later, they have to get together for a power luncheon in a nine-to-five job."

The Recycling Bin Tropical rainforests need to be a major human concern By JOHANNA WEAVER Appalachian Staff Writer Tropical rainforests are one of the last unex­ plored areas on our Earth. So little is known about these mystical treasures, and they may all be gone before all their tales have been told. Tropical rainforests make up less than 7 percent of global land surface, but contain over half of all living species, plants and animals. Most people's image of a rainforest is from Hollywood jungle movies, likeTarzan, but rainforests are much more complex than that image in our mind. A rain forest has many layers. The toplayer is the canopy, a dense cover of vegetation formed by the treetops. It is the most fertile layer, and most life grows and dwells within tlris dense forest ceiling. Beneath this layer is the understory, which contains small tress, brushes, etc. The bottom layer is the forest floor. There is not much growth on the floor because sunlight rarely reaches below the canopy. Despite their beauty and serenity, rainforests are constantly being destroyed. Approximately 55,000 square miles are destroyed every year.That is the size of New York State. Originally, there were 8 million square miles of rainforests, but only 3.4 million exist today. Why are they being destroyed? Cattle ranching is one of the biggest reasons rainforests are disap­ pearing. Forests are clear-cut so cattle can have grazing land. Another reason is the need for trees. Trees bring us paper, lumber, plywood, food, etc. Tropical hardwood trees are excellent for furniture because they are strong and durable.

For jump balls, each team goes to its at Appalachian State University stands side of the pool, and the ball is placed at mid-court. Then each team paddles furiously to get the ball. There is a neutral zone in front of the basket. No basket can be made from the zone. "We've never had any injuries in water basket­ ball," said Blanton. "But for precaution, there is always a certified lifeguard at every game, and it is played in the shallow end of the pool. "If I had to delete every team sport in the pro­ gram except one, I'd keep water basketball, since it's the most fun," said Blanton. There are only 15 water basketball teams in the league this year compared to the most popular team sport, basket­ ball, which drew 175 teams this year. Since there are so few teams, the playing season for water basketball is only three weeks long. "For me, intramurals are a stress reliever," con­ tinued Burton. "It takes my mind off my school work. I get to meet people, too. Intramurals keep me busy and make me organize in order to get things done. And I have to stay busy to get every­ thing done." Water basketball is not the only intramural sport played in Broome-Kirk's pool. Water polo and swim meets are other water events. Water polo is not a co-rec event. It is played in the deep end of the pool. Players swim and tread water to try to throw a ball in the opposition's net. The intramural swim meet is held in the fall. Individuals and teams compete in regular swimming events. For more information on water sports call the Intramural Sports office at 2622100. Or to know more about the pool in BroomeKirk Gym, call the pool manager, Anna Faust at 262-3035.

Boyd, an independent film­ maker and assistant professor at West Virginia State College, will show two of his films, "Invasion of the Space Preach­ ers" and "Paradise Park," April 14 and 15 at Appalachian State University. Aprii 7 "Boyd's perspective is different in that that it's not an outsider's view," Dr. Jerry Williamson said. Williamson, an English professor and editor of the Appalachian Journal, arranged Boyd's visittocampus. "Boyd is a West Virginia boy and has a West Virginia sense of humor about how big city culture views mountain culture," he said. Boyd's hillbillies aren't the stereotypi­ cal lazy, uneducated and barefoot beings. "Tt'< C__ "It's nnp fKtnn UfKan HAM. one thing when someone from *-% % • Cali­ fornia depicts mountain people as subhumanoids," Williamson said. "When Daniel Boyd plays with stereotypes, he does it with a wink. And his mountain audiences get the joke." Boyd's playful portrayal of hillbillies has earned him the nickname "Mel Brooks of the Boon­ docks." Boyd's characters often turn the tables on their big city counterparts. In "Para­ «. n < • . —- — dise Park," his latest film, residents of a West Virginia trailer park realize the high cost of government handouts. "Paradise Park is the only film I know of that's the hillbilly's answer to the John­ son era's war on poverty," Williamson said. "We hear from the people who were objects of society's and government's pity." The film features appearances by Dusty Rhodes, Porter Wagoner, T. Graham n T* •• J *1 « . Brown, Razzy Bailey and silent-screen star Lina Basquette. Basquette, now a top show judge and breeder and handler of Great Danes,starred inCecil B. DeMille's "The Godless Girl" in 1928.

Many undevelopedcountries have large debts to other countries so they encourage theproductionofexports, beef, coffee and timber. Deforestation is not just a problem that occurs in far-off lands. It is happening in our own backyards. The United States has small rainforests in Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and American Samoa. The biggest threats in these areas are urbanization and recreational devel­ opment. So why should we protect these forests if they give us so much? If we lose the rainforests, we will lose more than just beauty and some trees. Many species of plants and animals call the rainforests their home. If we destroy their homelands, then they will die, too. These species cansurvive nowhere else in the world. Many native people also live within the forest. They have been living off the forest and its products for centuries. They can teach us about herbal medicines and farm­ ing and give us an insight into our past. Foods that we take for granted, like coffee, bananas and spices,come from the rainforests. Many plants are used for medi­ cines, and only 1 percent of the plants have been tested for medicinal purposes. Rubber products come from trees in the forests, but is it unnecessary to cut down trees to get the rubber. $5 Admission $1 off with ASU ID (To Comedy Only) Comedian Leroy Seabrooks 5ave the rainforests... and the palm trees!!

April 7.1992 SPORTS Sox will win AL Forget about ungodly salaries, New York Mets sex scandals, arbitration and the saga of the sale of the Seattle Mariners to Japanese investors, at least for a little while. It's time for baseball—the game, to preempt baseball—the soap opera. Yes, the 1992 major league season began yesterday, and it couldn't have come at a better time. Now the scene shifts from such burning questions as "Is Ryne Sandeberg (or anyone, for ihat matter) worth $7 million a season?" and 'Should the Seattle Mariners be owned by the le group that brought us the Super Mario •os.?" Beginning yesterday, the main topics of lertable discussion are: "Can the Braves do it again?" and "Can Toronto live up to its massive lason billing?" It seems that all the fans or two-bit sports writers think they have the answer to these pdother questions. But they're wrong. Here's how the 1992 American League season will Him out. AL East—Toronto should win this division tads down. The Blue Jays have the talent to withe division by 20 games. The trade that taght Joe Carter and Roberto Alomar north of lie border was one of the best deals in the past years. The Jays also welcome World Series IVP Jack Morris to a pitching staff that's as [deep as any in the league. Boston is the only team capable of making a tun at the Blue Jays, not that the Red Sox are Ihat good, mind you. But considering the talent in the rest of the division, the Bosox are a lock for second, and should the Blue Jays fall flat on Iheir faces, rookie skipper Butch Hobson's hunch could sneak away with the crown. Keep an eye on ex-Met Frank Viola, who will tnerapt the near-impossible and try to become a successful left-hander in Fenway Park. The Sox have not had one since Bruce Hurst and are hanking heavily on former Cy Young winner "iola. The rest of the teams in the AL East could •ind up anywhere from third to seventh. S—tm s. THE APPALACHIAN TUESDAY, April 7,1992 ASU ends slide MS m i Mountaineers sweep double header from N.C.A & T Appalachian Staff Reports Appalachian State snapped an 11-game losing streak with a doubleheader sweep of North Caro­ lina A&T State University at Red Lackey Field Friday. The Mountaineers won the first game 4-1, then won the second game 13-11. The two non-confer­ ence wins moved ASU's record to 9-23. gy SHEA GRIFFIN Appalachian Sports Editor \ Appalachian trailed the opening game 1-0, but scored three runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to take the lead for good. Scott Carter earned the w in for AS U to record his first decision of the season. Marcus Neal was saddled with the loss for the Aggies to fall to 0-2 on the year. In the second game, Sean Pepin provided the most offense in a high-powered game, going threefor-three with three runs batted in and three runs scored. The Mountaineers scored in every inning except the first in the 13-11 win and ripped three Aggie pitchers for 14 hits. The hardest hit of the A&T hurlers was Bruce Cozart, who gave up eight hits and eight earned runs in 2.2 innings of action. Gary Davis picked up the win for ASU, improv­ ing his record to 2-4. Cozart took the loss and fell to 0-5 on the season. Georgia Southern's Jim Carragher pitched a four-hit, one-run complete game to lead the Eagles to a 7-1 Southern Conference baseball win over Appalachian State at Red Lackey Field Sunday afternoon. The loss dropped the Mountaineers to 9-24, including a 3-9 mark in the Southern Conference. The Eagles are 18-18 and 9-4 in the SC. Georgia Southern took a 1-0 lead in the second inning. After John Ficklin led off with a single and moved to third with one out on Kevin Hallman's single, Craig Cassedy knocked Ficklin in with a sacrifice to right field. Appalachian managed to knot the contest with its only run of the game in the bottom of the third inning. Randy DeBruhl led off the inning with a single to center. DeBruhl advanced to third on two fielding errors by the Eagles, then scored on Chris Chilton's sacrifice fly to center. From there, Georgia Southern dominated as the Mountaineers could get only three baserunners into scoring position the rest of the game. The Eagles picked up what proved to be the game-winning run in the fourth inning. With runners on first and third and two outs, Georgia Southern got back-to-back singles from Mark Dean and Bryan Wiggins that drove in two runs. The Eagles added two more runs in the fifth and one run in thesixth and ninth innings to account for the final margin. Carragher is now 7-2 on the season for Georgia Southern. Chris Vullo, now 1-5, took the loss for ASU. Vullo gave up seven hits, two walks and five runs with six strikeouts before giving way to Steve Bronack with one out in the fifth inning. Bronack pitched the remainder of the contest, allowing three hits and two runs in over four innings of work. AL West—Without a doubt, this is the best Jhion in baseball.

He pitched strong the next five innings, yielding only four baserunners and blanking the Hokies over that stretch. After the first nine ASU batters were retired in order, the Mountaineer bats awoke in the bottom of the fourth. Will Shellman singled, and Scott McDaniel followed with a double. Brent Cardwell 's sacrifice fly scored Shellman, and Paul O'Neil grounded out scoring McDaniel. Virginia Tech broke the game open in the eighth inning chasing McAuiey from the game.The Hokies scored three runs in the irming off McAuiey and reliever Chris Vullo to extend their lead to 8-2. Junior Dave Gonsiorowski pitched the ninth for the Mountaineers, shutting down the Hokies. ASU tried to mount a last-inning comeback, scoring twice in the ninth to provide the game's final margin. The Mountaineers fell to 7-23, while Virginia Tech raised its record to 22-2-1. Appalachian got back on the winning track this weekend by sweeping a doubleheader from North Carolina A&T.

College apologizes for racial slurs at basketball game Western Montana College promises to tighten security to prevent heckling at basketball games (CPS)—Western Montana College has sent a letter of apology to Rocky Mountain College and its basketball team for racial slurs shouted at black and Native American players at two separate basketball games. "A forma] apology has been issued to the play­ ers," said Monica Hildreth, a spokesman for Westem Montana College. According to witnesses, the taunts came from a group of four or five fans who focused on two blacks and two Native Americans on Rocky Mountain's team. "The students involved will bedealt with through the student conduct policy. This is the first we've ever known this to happen on our campus," Hildreth said. Rocky Mountain College basketball coach Jeff Malby said that the disruptive fans were not ejected because Western Montana security officials said they didn't hear them. Malby noted that there were also "isolated incidents" when Westem Montana basketball play­ ers taunted the Rocky Mountain players on the floor. "I was pretty proud of the way that the guys dealt with it...not lowering themselves to the hecklers' level," he said. "I think they used their better judgment." The coach added that he has been assured that Western Montana College would tighten security at the games to prevent a repetition of the hecklin which took place at back-to-back tournament gam Jan. 31-Feb. 1. Hildreth confirmed Western Montar College's commitment to stricter security at tl games and assured that if any further inciden would take place, immediate action would I taken.

Of course we should all be used to it by now. We were brought upstanding in line. In elementary school, we got in line to go to lunch and to go on field trips. It was an easy way for our teachers to keep up with us and to make sure no one had been left behind, stranded in the toybox / looking for a lost G.I. Joedoll. But it was also preparation for adult life. In high school we didn't spend nearly as much time standing in line as we do now, but we still had to stare at the back of another person's head at lunch every day. My jsfow is the time for fall registration. Students are currently planning their average staring session lasted 15 minutes, and I always went in the a la carte line because it was shorter. Those hedules for the fall term and then registering for those prospective classes. who decided to be healthy and eat the regular school The planning stage of fall registration is the most important for any Appala- lunch had a much longer time to stand—up to 30 minutes lian student. For many of ASU's 11,367 students, this stage includes a visit sometimes. Even in the short line, I studied the backs of advising procedure to ie examined officials an academic advisor. The university is currently examining the state of academic advising in the jper-division colleges. Chancellor John E. Thomas' office sent out a survey update a General College questionnaire conducted three years ago. Those udents who participated in answering questions their freshmen year are now iked to respond to advising questions in this, their junior year. The survey can be very valuable for Appalachian and its students. The dvising procedure needs to be examined. The system apparently has few, if ly, guidelines, with each advisor applying only as much guidance ashe or she ems necessary. Each department apparently handles advising differently. The system is one that needs evaluation and reconstruction. As the system stands, each advisor and each student can follow some simple rocedures that will insure the advising process will be somewhat effective Mil major renovations occur. Professors who serve as advisors should be well-informed. They should be >e most informed with regards to the department offerings and graduation squirements. Advisors affect the lives of students. Students depend on them for advice; lerefore, they should offer informed advice and responsible suggestions. Students must alsoplay an active role in the planning process. Students, your ves arebeing affected. Plan ahead before you visit your advisor. Do not go to our advising appointment ill-prepared. Students, you should be responsible for your lives. It's time to take charge f your destiny and plan ahead. The university is taking an overdue look at the advising process. The process 1 one that needs to be examined. Once survey responses are in, the answers "•ould be tallied and appropriateaction should be taken to see that students are ^oiving the best possible advice, and thus, the best possible education. many hairdos during my high school career. I couldn't have imagined standing in line any longer, even for a healthy lunch ("healthy" meaning something other than a soybean cheeseburger and french fries.) Now that we're in college, the places that should advertise line-standing multiply. The average student stands in line several times a day and is so used to it that he or she does not even think about it. College students stand in line for nearly every meal, some lines being longer than others depending on the time of day and the location. We also stand in line at the post office topick up packages, in the bookstore to buy a pen to replace the one that decided it wasn't going to write anymore, in the library to check out books, at the bank to cash apaycheck, and once or twice a semester (sometimes more) at the registrar's office to sign up for classes. Having all these places to stand in line gives college students their one-hour-per-day quota for line-standing that most people don't have. Some places, and some times of day, are worse than others. Twelve noon seems to be the worst time on the ASU campus. Everywhere you go, there's a line. Every­ one on campus decides to eat at noon, everyone, that is, except the huge flock of people who decide noon is the best timeto check their mailboxes. It is a task for anexpert physicist to decide which would be the best way to get in and out of the post office at noon on any given weekday. Then we have lines at Food Service locations. The Gold Room seems to be theworst, mainly beeause, unlike other food locations, a line can form inonly one direction. The Food Court has its share of lines, mainly in the chicken tender and vegetable area, but then of course we have the line of people waiting on hamburgers. The cafeteria at lunch never has a problem with lines— the problem there is finding someplace to sit. Trivette's lines are also never really long. Of course compared to most restaurants, ASU Food Services does pretty well in this area. A Red Lobster in Raleigh gave me my worst experi­ ence standing in line. Red Lobster is a very popular chain of restaurants, the food is wonderful, and yet for some reason they have not recognized their own success enough to consider beginning a policy on reservations. There­ fore, at many Red Lobster locations, you can plan on waiting at least half an hour before being seated. One policy of theirs is the call-ahead policy, in which you can call the Red Lobster before you leave your house and they'll save aplacefor you in line.This is pretty lame considering they could greatly alleviate their line prob­ lem by taking reservations. Not all Red Lobsters have a big problem with making their customers assume they need to come an hour and a half earlier than they actually plan to eat. I personally have had bad experiences at one in Raleigh and one in Hickory and good experiences at two Charlotte Red Lobsters. And, of course. Red Lobster is not the only culprit. Almost any nice restaurant will require you on a weekend night to stare at the back of another person's head for a little while before you eat. The ASU Post Office also does pretty well with mov­ ing customersquickly through the line, atleast compared to some other post offices. At one post office in my hometown, some of the employees will have long con­ versations with the customers although there may be several other customers standing in line behind them. The only improvement I would advocate that would make standing in line much easier for ASU students is in the Food Court. Chicken sandwiches take several min­ utes to cook, so don't wait until they are all gone to put some more in the fryer. There have been incidences in which the Food Court has run out of chicken sandwiches and a whole line of students had to stand there and wait for five minutes while they cooked. Standing in line is much easier with a friend. Besides the fact that misery, and therefore impatience, loves company, having someone to talk to makes the time wasted just standing there go by much quicker. Also, just be glad you go to ASU. In some places, the lines are a lot longer. Editor's note: Tarleton is a junior from Wilson.She is majoring in French education. Bush has not lived up to his promises By ELIZABETH HORD Appalachian Staff Writer George Bush recently said that he will do whatever it takes to win re-election this year. This is a promise of another down-and-dirty campaign from the man who brought us the Willie Horton ads. It is also one of the few promises that Presi­ dent Bush will actually keep. The presidency of George Bush has been one of mixed messages and a lack of what he liked to call the "vision thing." From the moment he took office in Janu­ ary 1989, Bush has operated without a clear idea or plan of what he wants for America's future. His predecessor has even recently commented thatBush didn't seem tostand for anything. These mustbe harsh words for the incumbent president to hear. Although it may besurprising for some to see that our president has no plans or ideas, it is no surprise to people who have followed his political career. Bush not only doesn't have much to say about anything, when he does say something, he isn't likely to stick by it In 1980, when Bush made his first run for president he said in an interview to Rolling Stone magazine that he thought the Supreme Court's decision in the abor­ tion case Roe vs.Wade was correct. After he was defeated for the Republican nomination by Ronald Reagan and was chosen as the vice-presidential nominee, he quickly changed his position and be­ gan backing Reagan's anti-choice poli­ cies. When he got the Republican nomina­ tion in 1988 and hit the campaign trail, he was again making promises that, as we now have seen, he didn't keep. As you recall, Bush won the presi­ dency largely on his promise that he would not raise taxes, no matter what Congress tried to do. He didn't stick by this pledge very long. Bush disposed of his infamous "Read my lips, no new taxes," vow only months after he took office. In 1989, he proposed $6 billion in tax hikes to meet Gramm-Rudman deficit reduction stan­ dards. In early 1990, Bush's own budget called for $28 billion in new taxes and fees and during the budget deal with the Congress later that year. Bush publicly gave up on his "no new tax" pledge. Also on the 1988 campaign trail. Bush said that women who must leave their jobs temporarily after the birth of a child or to care for a sick relative should not have to worry about getting their jobs back. But, when the Congress passed the 1990 Family and Medical Leave Act, a bill designed to do exactly whatBush said needed to be done, he vetoed it. While the 1990 Civil Rights Bill was being debated in Congress, Bush labeled it a "quota bill" and vetoed it when it reached his desk. Unable to override the veto, Congress passed another Civil Rights Bill in1991 which included language that specifically prohibited the use of quotas in hiringpractices. Bush once again called it a "quota bill" and threatened a veto. He later signed a slightly different version of the bill that was essentially the same as the one he vetoed only a year before. Even in his perceived forte of foreign policy. Bush has again made promises that he just can't seem to keep. During the months leading up to Desert Storm, Bush went on and on comparing Saddam Hussein's actions in Kuwait to Adolf Hitler's actions in WoTldWar II. In Octo­ ber 1990, he reminded us that Hitler's actions resulted in war crime trials to his followers and implied that this is what would happen to Hussein, and in January 1991, Bush actually promised war crime trials for the Iraqi dictator. Soon after the war ended, in April 1991, George Bush returned to his promise-breaking ways by saying thatinstead of pressing charges, he would be willing just to get Hussein out of Iraq. Later that same month. Bush made it official when Assistant Secretary of State John R. Bolton said that the United States has no plans to find Hussein and bring him to justice. As the 1992 campaign season gets un­ derway and candidates from both parties take their aims at President Bush, the American people must remember this president's promise to do what it takes to win re-election. It is probably the only promise he intends to keep. Reader questions "why" column Issues should be taken more seriously To the Editor: I feel very strongly that as both a veteran and a concerned student I have a responsibility to respond to three of the points made in Wilfong M. Frazier's recent commentary entitled "Writer wants to know: Why ask why?" Operation Desert Storm was a war. Wars afe not easily explained or understood, even with intense discus­ sion. While I agree that each and every individual should have the opportunity to discuss the implications and consequences of war, it would be difficult for professors to allocate the time required to give such an inflamma­ tory and controversial topic the attention it deserves within their already rigid itineraries. War is a subject that is best pondered outside of the preset confines of the classroom with friends and loved ones, as I am most certain it was during the conflict. While the thought of the so-called "Christian" Knights of the Ku Klux Klan marching through Boone and Blowing Rock (or any American town, for that matter) is discomforting to say the least, I fear that his use of the word "ignore" will deliver the wrong idea to the public. Some 50-odd years ago, the citizens of the United States chose to ignore the hate-fueled, anti-semitic events occurring in Europe, events which led to the rise of the Nazi party, the near domination of that continent by fascist armies and six long and bloody years of war. Rather than ignore them, I would recommend that those who believe in the equality of all men and women should participate in the alternative events of Unity Week and simply not attend the march of the Klan and its misguided and intolerant following. Whatever the choice, we should all recognize that although the Klan is a nuisance, it is a nuisance much too , dangerous to ignore. In closing, I was very disturbed by Mr. Frazier's suggestion that the solutions to the anxieties created by the problems presented in his article can be found in the advertising slogan of a beer commercial. Having worked in a hospital emergency room for several months, I have witnessed first-hand the pain and suffering brought about by the abuse of alcohol, both to troubled individuals and to those who love them dearly. To advocate turning to the bottle for comfort, as Frazier suggests, is both irresponsible and lacking in journalistic ethics, and I would insist that your publication think twice before jesting with such a serious subject again. edition of The Appalachian. First of all, I agreed with a large majority of what was presented. Women are treated unfairly in the American society and until people begin speaking out against the unfairness, it is likely to continue. What I decided to address was the statement that women have undergone unnecessary persecution this past year because of a crime they did not commit. I wonder if Smith realizes that William Kennedy Smith underwent unnecessary persecution also? I am tired of hearing people badgeT William Kennedy Smith for a crime he obviously didn't commit. Any reasonable person would realize that the testimony presented at the trial pointed to the acquittal of Kennedy Smith, plain and simple. It took the jury 79 minutes to come up with a verdict, and Kennedy Smith spent over $1 million trying to prove what really happened. In my opinion, that is unnecessary persecution. I wonder if Smith ever realized that Kennedy Smith also had nothing to win and everything to lose? To the Editor: I am a strong supporter of women's rights, but I am also a supporter of human rights. William Kennedy Smith was found not guilty; it wasn't even close; why should Patricia Bowman be commended for speafctag out and Kennedy Smith be in debt with a tarnished reputation for something that never took place?

If proposal is passed by the Board of in May, lodges for each indichapter will be constructed in a .^^rTiunity atmosphere on land behind iC jjroyhill Inn and Conference Center. -jTiedefinition of a lodge as given in the rC>posal, is "a building structure of suffi­ cient size to accommodate the needs of the individual organizations, including such things as a social room, chapter room, kitchen, parlor room and limited housing space with the option to expand housing at such time as the resources of the chapter allow and the Joint University Housing approves." "The lodge will be used for chapter meetings, social functions, Rush, initia­ tion, and it will also include housing for four to eight people," said Jim Street, assistant director for student involvement. "The greeks eligible to live in the lodges will be the executive officers of each sorority and fraternity. Due to the large expense of the lodges, the two African-American fraternities and one African-American sorority will not be involved in the development of greek housing based on the small number of members in these organizations. Three organizations did not approve the pro­ posal: Alpha Phi, Kappa Delta and Tau Kappa Epsilon. (The Kappa Delta na­ tional president did not approve it and the Tau Kappa Epsilons have not responded.) The general statement of the greek housing proposal states, "The greek com­ munity is interested in an on-campus Greek Village that initially would provide programming space and limited housing with an opportunity for further expansion of the housing option as resources in the greek community allow. Any attempt of greek housing will include a cooperative effort among the university, thegreek undergraduate chap­ ters, alumni and respective national orga­ nizations." The funding of the construction will rest on the shoulders of each greek orga­ nization involved. A $50 assessment will be paid per semester to the university by every member of every chapter involved. This charge will be added to the mem­ bers' tuition fees. "The $50 assessment paid to the uni­ versity will be used to put in power, phone lines and other accommodations neces­ sary in the lodges. The funding for the construction of the lodges will come from national chapters, loans and alumni sup­ port," said Jennifer Wyatt, president of the panhellenic council. "If more greeks want to live in the lodges after a period of time, an expan­ sion of the lodges may occur," said Street. This would allow for extra space in the residence halls, which have a combined total of 10 full and two partial floors in Cone and Cannon residence halls. "The greeks will be living in residence halls for awhile, excluding the officers, and there may be expansion as time per­ mits," said Dr. Ward Zimmerman, vice chancellor of business affairs. 7&w system would allow telephone registration SLJZILANDIS jpal achian Staff Writer F r five years Appalachian State Unio rsi I> has been researching a voice remse system which could be implemt&d by fall 1993.

"Yearly maintenance is not ex^*"Ve," added Rankins. "It's less than •°O0 a year, which is reasonable." The voice response uses a touch tone and student identification access code much like a telephone calling card. The student can make inquiries about student records such as semester grades by talk­ ing to a computer on the telephone. The system, as the name implies, is voiceactivated. The main focus for the system will be to enhanceregistration. Both UNC-Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University use telephone registration. "I think it would be just as inconve­ nient as now," said ASU student John Schriner. "I've talked to people at other schools, and their biggest complaint is that the line is always busy. It's such a pain when you mess up and try to go back to correct it." Rankins stressed that the university is not taking any option away from the stu­ dents. "We will still have the registration center, just not as many days," said Rankins. He said he feels this will relieve the inconvenience of standing in line that most students experience. Though the system installation is in the planning stages, Rankins believes the designated registration time slots will still be used. "State and Chapel Hill's main problem is that they open up the lines to everyone," said Rankin. By AMANDA NELSON Appalachian News Editor Student Government Association tabled all new business, with the excep­ tion of its proposed laundry bill,and heard committee reports in its 20-minuteMarch 31 meeting. The laundry bill, which is sponsored by Gardner Senator Brad Moorefield, was sent back to the student affairs com­ mittee for additional research. The bill calls for changes in the existing on-cam­ pus laundry services, which have tradi­ tionally lost money due to machine tam­ pering.

The "other" category in­ r^*' cludes people with different ethnic back­ grounds, but does not include women. According to Zaphon Wilson, special assistant to the vice chancellor for aca­ demic affairs for minority concerns, and ASU assistant professor of political sci­ ence, thenumbers of minority faculty and staff are low due to three things. "First, I think the numbers are so low because we have failed to actively pursue minority candidates," said Wilson. "As a university we have failed to do that." The second reason Appalachian has a low nercentaee of minority faculty fmH See GREEKS page 2 SGA tables business Register by phone r The proposal was designed last year by Julie Rhodes, 1990-91 Panhellenic presi­ dent and Maury Kennedy, 1990-91 Inter fraternity Council president. Along with Rhodes and Kennedy, Jen­ nifer Wyattand John Akers, currentpresident of the Panhellenic and IFC, will present this proposal to the Board of Trust­ ees in May. According to the present proposal, the university will have certain commitments toward the development of greek hous­ ing. Some of these responsibilities are: •Working inconjunction with thechapter housing corporations, the university staff is because ASU may be one of the best kept secrets in the area, according to Wilson. "There is a general misconception about Appalachian that we are trying to clear up. When people hear Appalachian, they think of poverty, not the comprehensive university that we are," said Wilson. According to Wilson, the last reason Appalachian has so few minority faculty and staff is because the small number of black and minority professors make the competition very stiff. "This (minority recruitment) has to be one of the main priorities as we move toward the 21st century," said Wilson. "Our student body is going to change right before our eyes. It is going to be­ come more female and it is going to become blacker and browner, and as a university we need to reflect those changes." It is important for students to have minority professors because all students need to be able to point to minorities as role models, Wilson said. The bill proposed giving students the option to place a minimum of $25 on a laundry account to use in the machines, which would have card readers. Another option would give students the chance to purchase credit to be used for laundry on their Appalachian Express accounts. The cost of the wash and dry loads would decrease from $.75 to $.50. The off-campus committee reported that work is being done to consider park­ ing issues, including plans for additional 20-minute parking spaces in front of the post office. Dawn Barker, academic affairs com­ mittee chairman, said teacher apprecia­ tion awards were well received and that she had received positive feedback from teachers.

Overbooking residence hall spacesmay be Appalachian State University's solu­ tion for next fall, said Brad Reid, director of residence life. One hundred and one students guaranteed housing would be housed temporarily until spaces became available, Reid said. With 418 ASU students currently on a waiting list for residence hall spaces, overbooking could guarantee students spaces which are not now available, said Reid. Residence life would work to find tem­ porary off-campus options to house those students until spaces in the halls became available, Reid said. At this point, the housing locationhas yet to be determined, according to Reid. Spaces in the halls often come avail­ able when "no-shows" are declared. How­ ever, other housing options are needed until the no-shows can be declared and the student can be assigned a room, Reid said. "We need to guarantee housing to people now, and not keep them on the waiting listfor toolong," Reid said. "From our perspective, the longer they areon the waiting list, the most apt they are to look elsewhere." Students would not sleep in residence hall lobbies for more than two nights if there was not enough available space, Reid said. Fifty overflow spaces in Frank Residence Hall and Belk Residence Hall could be used if necessary. Reid added he would not expect stu­ dents to stay in a room which did not have the accommodations of the other rooms, such as a telephone and cable hookup. Due to a policy which requires all freshmen, with few exceptions, to liveon campus their first year, residence life must guarantee about 1,900 of its total 4,414 available spaces to freshmen. Residence Life, which has received 2,947 housing applications from current residents, combined with 130 housing requests from transfer students, has a total of 3,077 requests from on-campus and transfer students. After students with two semesters or less are guaranteed housing, there will be 2,514 spaces left. Housing priority will then be given by random selection to students with three or more semesters of coursework. �. r/ie Appalachian. Thursday.

If you enjoy a j^^sic, college-oriented guitar, bass and ^^^srcussion sound. The Outer Limits is the for you. The show starts at 9:00 p.m. but if past ^^Jter Limits concerts are any indica plan to stay dancing late into the ^^j^ht hours. This will be a homecoming of sorts for Outer Limits. The band formed in PJ.<^-one and is one of the most successful to come out of Appalachian. The Outer Limits consists of Will j^f^rley on guitar and lead vocals, Greg pofe on bass "id vocals, and Rob tj^friladensky on percussion and vocals, band formed in 1987 and since that the band has attracted a strong, loyal following that seems to grow and grow mritJi each performance. -•Our music appeals to the college ?ro -wd, and our style attracts a wide, varied following," said Schladensky. The band has not performed in Boone his year, but played throughout North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. [Tic Outer Limits has played with The antics, Melissa Ethridge, Dreams So Compact disc debut in Boone Real, Royal Crescent Mob, Hedge V and Naked Prey. The Outer Limits stands out from the typical college bands becauseof itsstrong base of original music. Pure Outer Limits is pure original music, music that is dis­ tinctive and danceable. The Outer Limits has a sound that tran­ scends the traditional classifications of today s music. The terms progressive, alternative and even pop rock describe aspects of the band's sound but do not convey the essence of the music. The Outer Limits write and play music with deep roots in college life and human nature. The band breaks the barrier of category with a personal tone that any college audience can relate to. Don t get the wrong impression. The sound is not slow, solemn or sad. On the contrary, the band's tempo and rhythm combine to create music you can dance to. The Outer Limits will play Saturday night at the Pub. The show is a Compact Disc release party. Tickets are $2 for students and $3 for guests. The show is an A.P.P.S. Club Shows presentation and co-sponsored by Appalachian's Advertising Club, ACE (Appalachian Communication Enter­ prises). The band MadcapLaughs will open for The Outer Limits. By WILLIAM PURCELL Appalachian Diversions Editor CD. The band will kick off the release of the CD in The Pub this Saturday. Schladensky said, "Our music appeals to the college crowd. We used to recog­ nize everyone in our audience, but now we are beginning to see a whole new crowd. Those new faces make it interest­ ing. "A band matures after two or three years. We have developed a variety of styles. Will and Greg write music that is very different from one another. That difference gives a crisp sound to our mu­ sic. We often borrow ideas that worked from old songs we don't play any more. When it all comes together, it will sound like The Outer Limits." The Outer Limits has its first compact disc. "The Outer Limits" is a mix of new tracks and Outer Limits standards. The band recorded a cassette during 1988 and 1989 in Chapel Hill that fea­ tured 10 tracks. The new CD features 11 songs includ­ ing seven from the cassette. The CD is on the Missing Records label in Raleigh. New tracks on the record include "I Think,""A Really Cool Sunshine,""Let's Not Talk It Over," and "A Formal Request."The new tracks still maintain The Outer Limits sound but show a more mature band. Additional cuts on the CD include Once in Your Life," "Things Never Change," "Stars (in your eyes)," "There's No One," "You Can Run," "Is The Distance Far?" and "The Young Breed." You can find the CD inBoone at Tracks and Grapevine music. The CD can also be purchased at The Record Exchange, Repo Records, New World Records, Milestone Records and CD Superstore. The band has achieved one of its most ambitious goals with the release of tins goais wiui me ot this Photo oy l-orreal MacCormack EXPERIENCE THE OUTER LIMITS: The Outer Limits will rock The Pub Saturday night starting at 9 p.m. The show will kick off the release of the band's new CD "The Outer Limits." Tickets are $2 for students and $3 for guests. "Our lyrics reflect who we are and life in general. A lot of our songs relate things we learned in college,'" Schladensky said. "The lyrics can be about anything from political ideas to relationships to ties we have with other people." Schaldensky said, "People associate us with the mountains because we formed there. Even though three members are from different cities, we will always keep our Boone ties;the mountains will always be a part of us." The format of one lead guitar, one bass and percussion gives the band a unique DacK-to-basics back-to-basics sound. Misbehavin'" recreate the style of Waller's on-stage clowning, particularly "Your Feet's Too Big." The cast of the show will dance and flirt from table to table in the "Lowdown" Harlem night­ club, and bop, jive and slither through over 25 classic songs. Waller's career was not limited to the cabaret style of performing; "Fats" ap­ peared inseveral motion pictures. "Stormy Weather" was just one of the films that featured the great jazz pianist and songwriter. He brought jazz to New York's nightclub and party scenes. He also managed to gain a little fame and fortune as a composer and performer in the pro­ cess. His success in vaudeville, radio and movies was matched only by Louis Armstrong and Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. So we have Thomas "Fats" Waller to thank for making theproduction of "Ain't Misbehavin"' possible. It is because of "Fats" that we can look back at yesterday (1930s), smile and tap our toes, and face tomorrow with a song. The joint will be jumping when you see "Ain't Misbehavin"' jazzmen, Thomas "Fats" Waller. The show will begin at 8 p.m. in Farthing Auditorium and is part of Appalachian StateUniversity'sMajor Performing Arts Series. Just imagineyourself in a dark, smoky nightclub located in the heart of Harlem. The place is throbbing with goodtimers and the pulse of jazz tunes. "Honeysuckle Rose," "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," and "T'Ain't Nobody's Biz-ness If I Do" are only a number of the songs you hear asyou 're caught upin theexcite­ 3y IDRRIEGANTT X.psp»alachian Staff Writer *"The Joint is Jumpin', theJoint is Jumpproclaim the singers in "Ain't •Aisfcehavin'," the jazz strut revue which von. the coveted Tony Award for Best ®ical of the broadway season.

The singers are wailing, the piano is working up a sweat, and the night becomes a blur of laughter and song and troubles forgotten. Does it sound enticing? "Ain't Misbehavin'" takes the audience to that Harlem nightclub and underscores the obstacles encountered by "Fats" Waller in his career as a jazz musician. The New York Times said the show is "... a funny, startling, heart-stopping hit."The pace is fast, and the entertainment is exceptional. Throughout his career, "Fats" Waller wrote500 songs. He was an accomplished pianist and organist, beginning his pro­ fessional career when he was 15 years old. His first big hit was "Squeeze Me" and he continued to create memorable jazz hits until his death in 1943. Waller isoften remembered as a clown. Although his talents and abilities as a musician were far more than adequate, he incorporated an element of comedy in his performances in order to attract more attention.

J — Z a p h o n R. Wilson, special assistant to the vice chancellor foracademic fffja-trs for minority concerns, said ASU has failed to actively pursue minority ari«lidates. The problem is ours. It is not one of society's. Appalachian should cle^*iowledge the fact that too few minorities hold positions and seek active vo*iues to see that more minorities are hired. ^®norities need to be in faculty and staff positions at Appalachian. Their res«nce in such positions could help alleviate the ever-present problem of icism. Racism exists at ASU, just as it exists worldwide; however, an mj»hasis on minority recruitment could combat some of the problems of Election years are scary. After three years of the most disastrous presidential bungling since the Reconstruc­ tion, George Bush is favoredas the Republican candidate for nomination, while Pat Buchanan. ex-Nixon stooge and celebrated con-artist, slimes his way across the U.S. leaving a trail of confused and unpaid campaign aides. Bill Clinton is the favored Democrat—blundering along like acrazed halfback blind from steroids and speed, with Jerry Brown snapping at his heels like a mad dog. The other Democratic hopefuls dropped out long ago, unable to cope with the savagery of political campaigning in the 90s, and the two left have done away with all hope of using intellect to combat the more effective tactics of the malodorous rumor. Even the bookies have panic in their eyes, preferring taking bets on this year's Oscar win­ ners over even laying odds on the outcome of the '92 election. But somehow it is not difficult to look at this year's election without breaking out in a cold sweat and gibber­ ing. Like watching DiNiro rave on the screen playing a depraved homicidal redneck, there is the sense that it's not real, that it's not a threat. We'veseen DiNiro play too many roles too well to believe that this might be what he actually is on the screen before us.

At the end I guess the penny is truly worthless now. A penny saved might be a penny earned, but who wants one? You certainly can' t spend it; you have toget five of them to trade for a nickel before they can be used to buy something. I wonder if there is a specific reason why the penny is a different color than every other coin. It is made primarily of zinc, which is the same color as our other familiar nickel coins. An outer shell of copper is later added, thereby' making it the familiar brownish color. Maybe the treasury is trying to tell us something: when other things turn brown, we throw them away. Maybe this explains why you can always find extra pennies in parking lots. People just throw them away. Now that I know I can't spend them any more, I'm not even going to bother picking them up.

Respond to issues To the Editor On campus, there is an issue that I would consider of great importance. That issue is the petition to release the files on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. It is the idea of Appalachian State University's Political Science Club, and I applaud their efforts to undertake such a task of obvious controversy. I was in the student union and in the cafeteria when the club had petition tables set up to try and get students to sign for the release of the files. What I saw was quite disturbing. More than half of the people that were asked to look at the petition said they did not have time, as they stood idly by and conversed with their friends, or did not even want to know what the petition was about. The two Political Science Club officers that were present, Richard S. Blackwelder, president and Dan Masters, vice president, said the greatest problem that they saw facing the concerns of the nation was social ' and political apathy, and it shows. If the people had just taken the time, as I did, to find out what the main premise behind this petition truly is, they would have known it was for getting the voice of the public back into our government, and if the petition happens to be effective in opening the files, then so much the better. The basis of this Republic is the active participa­ tion of its citizens, and that participa­ tion has been inactive now for too long. I have spent some time on most of the major campuses in the state, and I have concluded that ASU has one of the most outspoken student bodies anywhere, but that is all they are. Blackwelder and Masters claim that social and political apathy is a growing concern of the state, and I agree, but I will take the point one step farther and closer to home. Social and political hypocrisy is an annoyance that seems to be breeding too rapidly on this campus. It is a known fact that it is far easier to voice opinions on concerns rather than participate in doing something about them. For all the active hyp^rites on this "active" campus I ask a favor of you all: if you must stand on the sidelines, please stand quietly. Nathaniel Voyce P.O. Box 18361 �The Annalachian Thur^qy.

Off-campus students must pay for cable, if they want television, which is approxi­ mately $20 a month for basic cable ser­ vices. On-campus students receive basic cable from the university at a cost of $6.50 per semester. The cost is included in the housing fee. The average water bill for off-campus students is between $15 and $30 per month, according to Holton. She said the very basic charge is $10, whether any water is used or not. For most two-bedroom apartments, a normal electric bill is between $50 and $70. A year-round average for an apart­ ment in Boone that does not have air conditioning is $50.

Cable costs up 21 percent By SARAH YATES Appalachian Staff Writer Apptltchlmn Photo by Dobbia Mc Mutton 'OUR RATES GOING UP? Cable rates have increased steadily for both on and off-campus students. Students indirectly their cable attachment, with the current $6.50 fee being assesed to their housing fees. Off-campus students have the option However, the cost for the off-campus student is $19.25. The cost of cable television to Boone residents has increased 21 percent since 1988, according to Melissa Tatum, marketing manager of High Country Cable. Cable costs for on-campus housing at Appalachian State University have in­ creased 50 percent since 1984, according to Doug Canipe, director of residential facilities at ASU. Appalachian State University has a 10year contract with High Country Cable to provide on-campus students with cable. In 1993, the contract will be subject to a renewal. Currently, the school is paying $8.92 per residence hall room per month. How­ ever, beginning June 30,1992, there will be an increase of 5 percent to $9.37 per dorm room. Appalachian State University is one of the first universities to offer cable for on-campus housing, according to Canipe. However, on-campus students pay $6.50 per semester for cable in their hous­ ing fee. The cost will go up to $6.85 in the fall of 1992. "The increase we receive is based on programming charges. Under the present contract, programming costs isan accept­ able cost that they can pass on to us,"said Canipe. Programming costs are those costs used to carry satellite channels, such as CNN, TBS, TNT and ESPN. The cable company has to pay the pro­ grammer for the satellite channels. Cus­ tomers are charged based on the cable company's programming costs. There­ fore, if programming costs go up, cus­ tomers are charged more for the increase. "We are paying for better program­ ming with the satellite channels," said Tatum. "You couldn't have had CNN 10 years ago covering the Gulf War. They (the satellite channels) have a lot of man power." The cost of having cable isdifferent for every town. The charges made to custom­ ers depends on the cable company. High Country Cable of Boone charges $19.25 per month for each household. The basic service charge is $18.96, but a 3 percent franchise fee is paid to the town or county that the customer lives in. "The reason why it is going up is because of the basic cost of living and programming costs," said Tatum. "We are not a utility, but people think of us that way. We are not subsidized by the gov­ ernment." The basic cost of living that the cable company pays for is tools, gas for the cable trucks, office supplies and anyother charges for maintaining the cable. Also, oil is used to make cable. There­ fore, there is always going to be an in­ crease in cable costs to customers when oil prices are increasing. Most students have been very pleased with cable, according to Canipe. "Cable television as a whole is one of the most popular services that we provide," said Canipe. Some students agree that cable is a valuable service for on-campus students. "It's nice that on-campus students don't have to pay directly for cable, unlike other universities," said David Coltrane. ''acuity/staff contribute $22 million to university campaign ^ -acy williard *Ajit News Editor 1 "st $12 million has been commitUniversity since July 1,1989, as ^ of the Campaign for Appalachian, ^-raising drive, according to Tom campaign director for alumni ^ttient. forking objective of the funddrive is to have $22 million com*o the university by June 30,1995, ^j^drive will be complete. "The objectives of the drive deal spe­ cifically with areas such as faculty devel­ opment, student scholars, university en­ dowments, the arts, the music program, visual arts and annual support for col­ leges, schools, athletics and other univer­ sity programs," said Lawson. In capital campaigning, there are two phases to fund-raising, the quiet phase and the public phase. According to Lawson, the largest gifts are sought dur­ ing the quiet phase. When 50 percent of the goal is reached, then a public an­ nouncement continues the fund-raising drive with a big event on campus. The next step,following the announcement, is to have a three-year public campaign. The faculty/staff campaign is part of the Campaign for Appalachian. The fac­ ulty/staff campaign is a solicitation of all full and part-time faculty and staff at Appalachian to give money to the fundraising drive. This phase is one of the final parts of the quiet phase of the campaign and will be completed by the end of the semester. "The significant thing (about the fac­ ulty/staff campaign) is that these people work at ASU and get paid for it. There is no expectation that they need to give any money back to the university," said Lawson. "They are investing in the stu­ dents to make this a better university." The beginning of the faculty/staff cam­ paign was marked by akick-off luncheon in the east wing of the cafeteria. At the luncheon, Chancellor JohnTho­ mas spoke, along with the four co-chair­ persons of the drive: David Wood, assis­ tant professor of finance, insurance and real estate; Elizabeth Bond, assistant pro­ fessor of history; Bob ElleTbe, director of transportation motor pool; and Carolyn Heavner, administrative assistant to the chancellor. Stephanie Lineberry, presi­ dent oftheclassofl992, also spoke at the luncheon. Lawson said ASU plans to publicly announce the campaign this fall. "Even though the economy has been a little off, we feel we're ahead of schedule. Appalachian has around 56,000 alumni, and 70 percent of these alumni graduated since 1970. The average alumnus is about 40 years old, so we don't have an older, affluent alumni base," said Lawson. "Since ASU wasa teaching college, we are not quite as well positioned to raise larger corporate gifts as universities with long established business programs or law schools," Lawson said. People who make contributions have the ability to restrict where their money goes. For example, those interested in scholarship, can restrict donations to a certain department,according toLawson. "The idea is to raise money based on people's interests," said Lawson. General or unspecified contributions are also ac­ cepted. �/ Food Lion CEO speaks April 23: Tom E.

Spring Break 1992 was perhaps kinder and gentler than in years past, with some promoters asking for donations for AIDS research and almost everyone telling stu­ dents to "Party Smart." As always, not everyone heard the message, butthe number of serious Spring Break incidents was down from years past, when the month-long party conjured images of drunken students leaping off motel balconies and consuming large quantities of drugs. The most serious incidents of Spring Break 1992 included: •The shooting death of an Old Domin­ ion University sophomore in Miami. The student, 19-year-old Paul Sauder, was killed in a car when a teen-ager opened fire on Sauder and four classmates who had stopped to buy crack cocaine in one of the city's drug-infested neighborhoods. Police arrested a 19-year-old Miami man for the shooting, but said they have no idea why he started shooting at the students. •The death of a 20-year-old Ontario man who choked on his own vomit in a Daytona parking garage. Police said the death was related to alcohol consumption but did not know the man's blood alcohol level. Police said the man was not a stu­ dent, but had traveled to Florida to party with friends during the break. •In Galveston,Texas, two people were injured by gunshots fired on beaches crowded with students. One man pulled a gun on an officer and was shot todeath by police. The man killed was not a student. Police said they believed the disturbances were caused by non-students and are still investigating. •Two University of Miami students died and three others were injured when their jeep overturned in Cancun, Mexico. Sophomores Melissa Fernandez, 19, a biology student from Miami Beach, and Adam Leinfuss, 20, a communications majorffomManhassett,N.Y., werekilled March 8 when the driver lost control of the rented jeep about 100 miles west of Cancun. Despite a few incidents, police said most students were well-behaved this year. At Daytona, one beach patrol officer said the main problem "is just drunken­ ness." "They've been really good this year. They listen to us when they're told to do something. We haven't had any major problems," said the officer, who asked not to be identified. Most students agree. "It seems like it's much calmer this year," said Liz Burns, a student from Texas A&M University who, with friend Lisa Dodson, was working on a tan and also attending a Christian conference. "We're here with our Campus Crusade for Christ," she said. "We're talking to students about that, and we've had a good time so far. People have been pretty re­ ceptive." Although most did not travel to the sunny South to find God, some did report having near-religious experiences while bungee-jumping off a 200-foot platform. "I'm still shaking," said Rod Chavez after the experience. The University of Arizonastudentexplained whyhe jumped: "It just looked like fun. I got nervous once I was up there and I hesitated for a second, but then I just thought, 'Nah, I'd better go Other adventure-seeking students took advantageofaflightsimulatorlocatedoff the boardwalk,along with parasailing and orbotrons, the circular contraptions in which people stand, then twist, flip and spin in various directions. . The adventure promoters weren t alone in trying to capture the students attentionMore than 200 companies visited Daytona this year to give free samples to college students and promote their products to the younger market. "We have so much free stuff, so many cups, we won't be able to get back to Kentucky," said Jay Stilz, a University of Kentucky student Stilz didn't seem to mind, though. A booth sponsored by Geo offered free head-and-neck massages to students who test-drove Prisms. Introspect, a clothing line, constructed a mountain on the beach for students to play on. And Lagerfield, makers of men's cologne, had attractive young women tossing free cologne samples to men as they walked along the boardwalk. Dodge, although it had several cars on display along the boardwalk and in front ofhotels,gaveits"Rockin' Campus Bash" campaign a more responsible spin. Dodge gave out free squeeze bottles and hats to students who drove in its Drunk Driving Simulator. "What we're trying to show students is the danger of drunk driving," said Jerry Barhart, a program instructor for the simu­ lator. "What we do w through (a path lined once, then have our computer s with a .10 blood al "The computer de\^ ing, like your r ayS.slee eactions »j^j drunk." ^ ..

Today only 9 percent of the budget is directed to investing in our future—edu­ cation and training, child health, environ­ mental technologies, research and infra­ structure. We need to double that share and pay for it by converting resources no longer needed for defense," Clinton said m a United States Student Association survey. As governor, Clinton increased fundmg for higher education institutions in Arkansas by 77.7 percent since 1983. He established a college bond program in 1991 to help parents finance their children's higher education. Under the plan, parents and others can buy short or long-term tax-exempt "college bonds." Since Clinton took office, the percent of Arkansas' graduating high school students who attend in-state universities has risen from 38.2 percent to 513 per­ cent. The Arkansas Challenge Scholarship Program, implemented last year, allows any student who meets middle and lowermiddle income guidelines to have part of their tuition paid by the state at any col­ lege or university in the state. The student, in return, must maintain a "C" average, stay off drugs and score a 19 or above on the ACT test. Clinton said in a Chronicle of Higher Education survey that he wants to sim­ plify the student-aid program "by elimi­ nating banks from the process and mak­ ing direct loans to students through their colleges and trade schools." According to the Chronicle survey, he also said he advocated affirmative action so that "every young American will have access to a college education, no matter what their background." Clinton said he agreed with resolutions pending in both the House and Senate that would ask President Bush to rescind De­ partment of Defense policy prohibiting lesbians, gays and bisexuals from mili­ tary service. Because many college stu­ dents look to the military to help pay for college, the issue has come to the fore­ front Clinton said he supports more accurate national testing standards "that will help us measure the achievements of our stu­ dents and tell us in what areas we need to make greater efforts," according to the Chronicle's questionnaire. "However, no student in good standing , should be denied access to college, and grades should not be the basis for provid­ ing student aid. As President, I will intro­ duce legislation to provide universal ac­ cess to college for anyone who desires a college education," he said. ;TD slide show is ugly, but effective in conveying message . -grsy-As the war against ADDS and —' sexually transmitted diseases con** on college campuses, one school an unusual approach that has --.sedmale abstinenceon campus and ^^ted more women to insist that their use condoms. ** jjie fall of 1990, the University of Carolina added a special sex edulecture to its University 101 class, designed for freshman orienta­ tion, in which students learn about sexu­ ally transmitted diseases—with the aid of graphic slides of people infected with various STDs.

After the group presentation, twohealth educators from the student health center talk to small groups about sexual activity, condom use and abstinence and answer student questions. "We previously had sponsored meet­ ings and noon-time talks, but no one showed up," Turner said. "What we wanted to do was inform students specifi­ cally about sexually transmitted diseases because we've found that most are fairly ignorant about them. They know about HIV, but they don't know about STDs." He adds,"I think that's kind of aunique strategy, even though the final outcome will be the same. If you prrevent sexually transmitted diseases, you will prevent AIDS." About 55 piercent of the incoming fresh­ men take University 101, andTumersaid that a recent survey showed that the course had a positive effect on student behavior. Male students taking the class reported a 25 piercent abstinence rate at the start of the semester, but reported a 41 piercent abstinence rate after completing Univer­ sity 101. Women students abstained at the same rate before and after the class—33 per­ cent—but the piercentage who repiorted using condoms increased from 20 piercent to 30 piercent. As for male condom use, it remained at 25 piercent both before and after taking University 101. "There's a flip-flop,"Turner said of the findings. "There's something about our message that makes women feel more empx>wered...and the results with the men surprised us." r* and t h e palm trees!!

March 31.1992 Ad. Club faces challenge By TIFFANY WHITLEY Appalachian Staff Writer IV CAMPAIGN FOR CLUB: The advertising club is competing in a national advertising contesfin April. The organization t>e^n working toward this project since last August. Some believe this project to be the best ever presented by the club. The advertising club at Appalachian State University will compete in the NSAC, a national scholastic advertising competition on April 2-3. The district competition will be held in the Rocky Mountains. If ASU's advertis­ ing club wins on the district level, it will then compete in the national competition held in Portland, Ore. The club will com­ pete against other schools in the region, such as the University of South Carolina, UNC Chapel Hill and N.C. State. The NSAC competition is sponsored by VISA charge card and the AAF (American Ad­ vertising Federation). Appalachian's advertising club has been preparing for the NSAC since Au­ gust 1991. PSE (the marketing fraternity involved with the campaign) helps the advertising club with the marketing re­ search. Rick Roberts, the NSAC chairman, said, "A lot more goes on in an advertising campaign than people realize. There is market research, planning media sched­ ules, handing out surveys, and coming up with creative, innovative advertisements that meet the client's needs." The competition consists of twostages, the plansbook stage and the presentation stage. The presentation will be given by nine team members chosen from the ad­ chian advertising club, and I feel confi­ vertising club. dent that we will not only win in the The presentation team members are district competition but will achieve suc­ Terri Davis, Tracy Kindley, Tim Sheets, cess on the national level as well."

Education Career Day gives ASU students learning opportunity dARU MASSE Y alsachian Staff Writer pfxalachian State University student lers will have an opportunity to meet ssentatives from public school sysi all over North Carolina and surstates. An Education Career Fair ttident teachers will be held on FriApril 10 at the Broyhill Inn. ucieiit Teachers will be able to give to public school systems that as t them. School representatives will be present to answer questions andsupply information. ASU has always had successful fairs and expects this year's fair to be no differ­ ent. Dr. Linda Smith, associate director of the Career Development Center, said, "This is the largest Education Career Fair that we've had in terms of the education systems coming." Smith said that the fair was exclusively for Appalachian students. She said that this is a prime opportunity for student teachers to be in contact with so many school systems just by attending the fair. Student teachers see this fair as a tre­ mendous advantage for them. Beth Bezilla, a student teacher at Parkway El­ ementary, is from New Hampshire. Bezilla is looking forward to the education career fair because she needs help with becom­ ing aware of the school systems in North Carolina. Bezilla said, "The fair will give me a chance to become familiar with different North Carolina school systems." Public school systems, along with stu­ dent teachers, also see ASU's Education Career Fair as a great opportunity. The school systems largely benefit from the fairs because they find prospective teach­ ers for their schools. Margaret McLaurin, personnel super­ visor for Cumberland County Schools in North Carolina, has only positive things to say about ASU and its education de­ partment. "ASU has a reputation for having a successful education department. We're looking for the best and ASU definitely has the best. We've hired several students from ASU," said McLaurin. She looks forward to attending the education fair. McLaurin said thatshe likes theorganizational format that ASU uses, and she always enjoys working with ASU. Kristen Albrecht, a student teacher at Watauga High School, believes that ASU thoroughly preparesstudents for the teach­ ing profession. Albrecht said, "Somebody is always there for guidance through the wholeprocess."She said that ASU constantly strives to help its student teachers. The Educa­ tion Center Fair is just one example of the university's concern. • Students exhibit art ESSICA SCHRIDER ri achian Staff Writer fortunate that Appalachian State e*"sdty, considering its fairly small er of Arts degree program, can man° jaroduce not one, but two artists sv|ch noticeable talent. The two art^l^ose works are being shown at the «ric Smith Gallery through gradule&is exhibitions, Mary Jane Phifer Czamecki, are both brilliant art^vat in very different respects. #rV Jane Phifer's exhibition, entitled 11 for the Unknown," consists of °•"^binations of serigraphs, lithols> oil paintings and colored porce^•^es.

For example, she created a «zed porcelain bowl with an intri^*rn on the outside that depicts the contents of a goldfish bowl, complete with water, gravel, fish and plants. Even though this artist's mind might be flying through the clouds with her fish, her feet are clearly on the ground when it comes todemonstrating her abilities as an artist. Czarnecki's exhibition, entitled "Jour­ ney to Focus," is a compilation of 26 welded steel constructions. The artist ex­ plains the unifying link through this cre­ ative and powerful exhibit as "a personal journey of sorts, with each piece being the end of one step and the beginning of another." One of the most interesting and amaz­ ing things about Czarnecki's work is the clarity of the figure or idea that he is portraying through these quite abstract works. For example, one of his works, called "Girl Skipping Rope," strikes one as very abstract at first glance. However, as soon as the observer looks at it a second time, the figure of a girl skipping rope is apparent in its beauty and clarity. Czamecki has a wonderful talent for sculpting with steel that is obvious in his exhibit. His works all have a linear feel­ ing that gives this tough metal a delicate look. Upon looking at some of his works, one will wonder what magic he uses that allows him to simply transform a basic quality of steel. The Catherine Smith Gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every weekday. The Graduate Student Exhibi­ tion will be held from March 27 to April 10.

"We responded because we feel that we have relevant information to offer. The genera] idea is to promote under­ standing and friendship between the U.S. and foreign countries," said Williams. Zakopane is located in a scenic moun­ tain area much like that surrounding Boone. The town is in the Carpathian Mountain Range, which is similar to the Appalachian region. People from other parts of eastern Europe travel to the area for vacations. John Batchelor, representative from Alamance County Schools, believes that ASU has one of the top Education Career Fairs. Batchelor said that his school sys­ tem goes to numerous fairs but said, "If we had to pick only two or three fairs togo to, ASUwouldbeoneofthem."Batchelor said that ASU has a very good track record and that he always gets excellent results from ASU. McLaurin advises student teachers attending the fair to bring a r6sum6 and make as many contacts as possi­ ble. Zakopane offers activities such as ski­ ing, hiking and climbing. The Pracownia Regionalna (the regional studies center) of the Krakow Polytechnic Institute is located in Zakopane and will be the host of the conference. The purpose of the program is to share knowledge that would allow theZakopane community to bring in tourist dollars with­ out spoiling the environment. Because of the recent change in eastern Europe from a communist government to a democratic society, Zakopane is now apart of the free market system, and town leaders must face the task of bringing business to the town while still protecting the environ­ ment. The community leaders want to draw visitors from other places without turning the town into a over-crowded tourist trap. "Our purpose is to help the people reconcile the need foren v ironmental preservation with their new democratic soci­ ety in which everyone has a voice on how to expand," said Williams. The group that will be directing the conferences will consist of ASU faculty and Boone community members, all with their own areas of expertise. The three university faculty members who will be attending the conference are Williams, as a historian. Dr. Dennis Scanlin, from the technology department, and Dr. Larry Keeler, from the sociology department. Experts will present information based on their own experiences. The second conference will consistof demonstrations of solving a specific environmental prob­ lem facing Zakopane. "The people are tired of having the government tell them what to do," said Williams. 'They want to make their own decisions on how to balance the develop­ ment of business with preservation of the environment." Over Spring Break, 11 Appalachian students took part in the learning experi­ ence of a lifetime. Through a three hour course in the Watauga program, these lucky few ventured to Charleston, S.C. for a week-long creative writing work­ shop led by the science fiction novelist Orson Scott Card. Card is the author of the recent bookstore hit "Xenophobia." Students returned from the experience with a wonderfully positiveattitude about writing. The main objectives of the course were to condition students to find stories in everything, improveindividual writing skills, and recognize the importance of accuracy and believability. The work began a few weeks before Spring Break. Card met with the group and gave instructions for the first 10-30 page story. Much of the educational expe­ rience throughout the week came from daily critiquing of the stories. In critiquing sessions participants sat in a circle and offered constructive criti­ cism on each other's work. During this time the author was not allowed to add input Participant Harvey Robinson felt that this critiquing process was one of the most beneficial activities of the work­ shop. It taught him to offeT hiscriticism in a positive light. The group critiques also helped them learn from each other's mis­ takes. The students left Saturday, March 7. The trip to Charleston was spent reading the first stories. Once in the town, the group spent two days mulling around, learning Charleston's ins and outs and interviewing people for potential charac­ ters. Each person was required to create seven index-card-length stories from the day's experiences. Among the participants, reactions to the workshop were consistent. Every per­ son seemed to have a remarkable time that resulted in an unexplainable and wonderful experience. Robinsonreturned See AUTHOR page £ �/ The Appalachian Tuesday.

I'm going to write now!"This was a common emotion. Carl Funderburk also came away from the week with a desire to write, "It gave my life focus." Greg Beavers added,"Orson Scott Card is a wonderful human being—a few steps down from God." This affection for the author wasshared by all. The participants felt that the expe­ rience of working with a professional writer was far better than with the normal classroom professor. Beavers commented that because of Card's success the stu­ dents trusted his advice and ability more than that of a professor. He also stated that compliments and encouragement from Card held more validity because of his accomplishments. Funderburk agreed that Card's knowledge and experience made his guidance more viable. Jay Wentworth, the program's coordi­ nator and faculty advisor, spent the week as a student. He joined the, group in cri­ tiquing sessions and submitted stories of his own. He, too, said Card's experience offered the students a different angle that gasgjcif • was not obtainable from unaccomplished writers. This was Appalachian's fourth year working with Card. Charlie Finks took part in last year's event and returned from the experience with the same enthusiasm that bumsin this year's participants. Look­ ing back on the experience, he said the workshop gave him more confidence in his writing as well as his life. He states that he now realizes that the most impor­ tant concept he learned was the impor­ tance of accuracy in a story. "People think that if they write a sci­ ence Fiction story they can create a world any way they want," said Finks. "But, what you have to remember is that it all has to be believable. If a person reads it and thinks, 'That'snotpossible,' thenit's not as good." Jay Wentworth is quick to agree with this, and said that an understanding of the concept is one of the goals of the work­ shop.

TTie first test for the freshmen came in scember, when Michigan played host to the feruling national champion Blue Devils of »ke, and the Wolverines passed with flying '°ts.

ASU has now lost nine games in a row and 13 of its last 15 contests. The Catamounts improved to 21-12-1 and 10-1 in the SC with the three wins. On Saturday, Western took both games of a doubleheader by scores of 4-1 and 10-6.The Cata­ mounts then came back on Sunday to complete the three-game sweep with an 8-2 win. In the first game Saturday, Western Carolina jumpied ahead 2-0 in the topof the first inning. ASU starter Danny Wills gave up a solo homerun to Scott Lyman with one out. With two outs and runners on first and third, Dwayne Bradley stole second base and Matt Raleigh scored on the throw to second. Western picked up single runs in the fourth and fifth innings to make the score 4-0 before ASU's Randy DeBruhl homered over the centerfield wall to provide the Mountaineers with their lone run of the day. ASU stranded 10 baserunners in the game,as the Mountaineers were never able to get the timely hits. Wills pitched the complete game for Appialachian, giving up eight hits and four earned runs in seven innings. Wills walked three and struck out two. Wills is now 1-3 on the season. Western's Phillip Grundy picked up the win, going all seven innings. Grundy gave up seven hits, walked three and struck out seven in moving his record to 4-3. In the second game of Saturday's doubleheader, the Catamount batscame alive, as Western roughed up two ASU pitchers for 10 runs and 11 hits in a 106 win. Chris Vullo took the loss for Appalachian State, dropping his record to 1-4. After falling behind 4-0, the Apps managed to climb back with three runs in the bottom of the third inning and one more in the fourth to tie the score. Jody Boyles started the rally with a single in the third. DeBruhl followed with another single, mov­ ing Boyles to second. Joel Sprouse then attempted to sacrifice Boyles and DeBruhl over, but Westem's Kimel threw the ball away, allowing Boyles and DeBruhl to score. Sprouse moved to third on the error and scored on Will Shellman's grounder to shortstop. One inning later, theMountaineers tied the score on Sean Pepin's one-out solo homerun to left field. The homer was Pepiin's second of the year. Western seized control of the game for good in the sixth. The Catamounts scored four runs with two outs, two runs coming on Lyman's double to centerfield. The Mountaineers got tworuns back in their half of the sixth, as DeBruhl singled in two runs with one out to make the score 8-6 after six innings. WCU cameright back to add two insurance runs in the top of the seventh to make the final score 106. Again, stranded baserunners doomed ASU, as the Appis left seven runners on base for the game. On Sunday, Western struck for four runs in the second inning, then scored three more in the third to take a 7-0 lead en route to the 8-2 win. ASU's Wayne Carter was roughed up for seven earned runs in 2.2 innings of work to take the loss for Apptltchimn Photo by Randall Reinink Appalachian. Carter is now 2-3on the season. Russ Chapman pitched seven strong innings of four-hit CATAMOUNTS CAPTURE THREE-GAME SWEEP: Western Carolina came to Boone over the ball for Western to pick up the win. Chapman is weekend and swept a three-game baseball set from the Mountaineers. WCU swept a doubleheader, 4-1' now 5-1. and 10-6, Saturday, and scored an 8-2 victory over the Apps on Sunday. | Students participate in more adventurous sports (CPS)—Whatever happened to golf? These days, college students are taking a walk on the wild side, trading their tennis rackets for bungee cords, their golf clubs for parachutes. And a new area of research shows that these young adventurers are not your run-of-the-mill sports enthusiasts, either. "It's called sensation-seeking," said Warren Hopkins, a psychology professor at the University of Richmond. "It's the inclination of some people to seek out thrills and adventures to avoid boredom. ... It's a personality traiL Some people can sit and sit and sit. Some people can't." The most popular of the adventure sports is also the newest—bungee jumping. What began as an age-old ritual practiced by natives of Pentecost Island in the South Pacific has emerged as the ultimate thrill sport of the 1990s. "In a split second, I felt mortal terror and, I thought, "I'm going to hit the ground and die,"' Modesto Junior College reporter Sheila Hehner wrote in a first-person story about her bungee experience off a bridge. "I looked into the face of death and lived to tell about it." That seems to be a popular sentiment. The first jumpers in the South Pacific jumped to show the courage to face death. Every spring, villagers col­ lected vines, wove them together and tied them around the ankles of young men who would climb high wooden towers and leap off. In addition to showing their courage, successful jumpers were said to bring a plentiful yam harvest. The focus of the sport changed and earned its modern-day roots in 1979, when members of Ox­ ford University's Dangerous Sports Club attached bungee cords to their ankles and jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge in tuxedoes and top hats after reading about the native land jumpers. In 1987, John and Peter Kockelman of Palo Alto, Calif., helped spread the craze by jumping off bridges and river gorges in the Sierras. In 1988, they formed Bungee Adventures, one of the first legal bungee jumping locations in the country. A controversial sneaker advertisement in the 1990s that showed two men bungee jumping from a bridge—one of whom dangled safely from the cord in his Reeboks, the other who presumably tumbled to his death after slipping out of his alter­ native brand sneakers—brought the craze to na­ tional attention. "Right now, all of America is being introduced to the sport," said Jesse Webb, marketing director for Go Bungee Inc., a licensed bungee jumping site in Orlando, Fla. And although the appeal of the sport to most is the psychological thrill of facing death and surviv­ ing, those who work within the industry say that is a misconception. "If you're jumping at a licensed site, you're safe," Webb said. Go Bungee Inc. has taken pre­ cautions to make sure no accidents occur, he said, including the use of a "stunt pillow," basically a large airbag underneath the jumpier "just in case," the maintenance and replacement of bungee cords and use of multiple harnesses. "It's just as safe as walking around," said Rob Simpson, a Valencia Community College student waiting to jumpat thesite. His friend, also a student and first-time jumpier, agreed, and explained why he would soon hurl himself 150 feet off a crane. fortunately for Michigan Head Coach Fisher, there was no television nearby for t0 ''sten- Dute did not put the finishing **^s on a victory; rather, Michigan rallied to ^ e contest and send the game into overtime. & ^i'be the Wolverines didn't realize the *"4Te the hoops world had placed on their ^ *iers.

Jerry Moore's Mountaineers are coming off an 8-4 season that saw them capiture the Southern Conference Champiionship. s downright scary. "I'm just always looking for a different rush.It's that feelingof being free, like abird,"Troy Goldman said. "I'm nervous watching these guys, but the butterflies make it better." Webb and others say the only real risk in the spxirt is assumed by those who jump illegally off bridges and gorges, mostly because they tend to use a "shock cord"—nylon climbing ropies bound and covered with nylon. Shock cords stop as far as they stretch, so they have more breaking potential and more potential to cause injury because they don't rebound as smoothly as a bungee cord, described by Webb as a "high-tech rubber band." To date, only one pierson has died bungee jump­ ing in the United States—an instructor felL70 feet during a demonstration off a hot air balloon in October when his cord unhooked from his harness. Other deaths have been repiorted in Australia, New Zealand and Germany as well as France, where the spxirt has since been banned. Still, enthusiasts say increased safety precau­ tions and licensing have made the spxirt one of the safest in the adventure category. Up-t6-date com­ parison and statistics about adventure spxirts are difficult to find, but according to a 1987 Safety Council repiort, hang gliding has a death ratio of eight to7,000, whileskydivinghas a 18-to-115,000 ratio. Bungee jumping's ratio is believed to be much lower, although statistics are not readily available. "I'm more comfortable (bungee jumping) than skydiving, because I know this is safe," said 22year-old jumpmaster Scott Hargis. "With skydiv­ ing, you only get two chances." Still, skydiving remains one of the highest-rated 1 adventure spxirts aroundfor those who can afford it The trend in skydiving for those who cannot afford the expensive certification process is tan- ' dem jumping. Tandem jumping involves hooking the inexpierienced jumpier to a professional jumpier with a harness. Bill Booth came up with the idea in 1984. The Federal Aviation Association has not apipiroved the spxirt yet because it violates an impiortant, existing rule. According to FAA guidelines, every skydiver must have two parachutes—a main and a reserve. For tandem jumpiers to adhere to that rule, four parachutes are needed, but in actuality only two parachutes areused, both worn by the professional. The novice's insurance is the harness. The FAA has established an experimental test­ ing program for tandem jumping, which basically allows people to skydive with a pro if they sign a legal waiver. Other adventure spiorts pxipular with college students are outdoor wilderness adventures, such as white-water rafting and rock climbing. One of the country's best known adventurebased organizations is Outward Bound USA. "Outward Bound programs are based on the belief that overcoming difficult but surmountable challenges increases a student's self-esteem and self-confidence," according to program informa­ tion. Programs like Outward Bound feature numer­ ous activities like canoeing, caving, rock climbing, rapipieling, mountain climbing, white-water raft­ ing, kayaking and dog sledding. Apps begin spring practice By WILL ROTHSCHILD Assistant Spiorts Editor Appalachian State, coming off an8-4 and Southem Conference championship campaign, began spiring football piractice yesterdayafternoon in Kidd Brewer Stadium. One of the major pxiints of empihasis for ASU Head Coach Jerry Moore and his staff during spiring drills will be to find replacements in the defensive secondary, where Appalachian lost all three starters from last year. Gone from last year's squad are All-American free safety Gary Dandridge and comerbacks Mark Mayo and Steve Wilks. The trio started all 12 games last season and combined for nine intercep­ tions. ASU ranked first in theSouthern Conference in piass defense last season, and Dandridge, Wilks and Mayo were primary reasons why. Expiected to step into major roles in the defen­ sive backfield are Kenny Bright, Will Robinson and A1 Ellis is expiected to move from tight end to cornerback. Ellis played at tailback for parts of the last two seasons before moving to the receiving corps four games into last season. Ellis was a high school all-star selection at cornerback and was named Defensive MVP of the North Carolina High School All-Star game following his senior year. Overall, the Mountaineers have seven starters back on defense, including linebacker Rico Mack, the Southern Conference Defensive Player of the Year as a junior last season. Offensively, ASU welcomes seven starters back, including quarterback D.J. Campbell and tailback Chip Hooks, the SC Freshman of the Year last season. Also returning for his senior year is punter Harold Alexander, an ail-American selection last season. Alexander averaged 47 yards pier kick in his junior year. Basketball Recruiting ASU picked up its third basketball commitment of the year last week when Tremayne Rooks ver­ bally announced his decision to sign a grant with Appalachian State. Rooks averaged 16pxiints, nine rebounds and two blocks pier game for East High School in Memphis, Tenn., this season. Rooks, a 6'7" forward, was a two-time all-city selection in Memphis and purred his team to a 256 record this season. Rooks is expiected to sign a letter of intent on April 17. Billy Shepherd, a 6'2" pioint guard from Birmingham.AL, signed a letter of intent during the fall recruiting session. Shepherd led Ramsay High School to a third-place finish in the state as a junior. Brian Hege, a 6'2" guard from Ledford High School in Thomasville, verbally committed earlier in the spiring recruiting pieriod. Hege was an allstate selection last year as a junior and led his team to a second-place finish in the state this season. Hege scored a game-high 25 pxiints lastSaturday in the state title game in the Dean Smith Center in Chapiel Hill. Hege is expiected to ink with the Mountaineers on April15, the first day allowed for spiring signings. ASU Head Coach Tom Apike said the Appis are still looking at some players, and "we might sign one more player." �The Appalachian. Tuesday. March ?/ /9Q? UNLV bid denied (CPS)—A Nevada district judge re­ jected a motion filed by the players of the University ofNevada at Las Vegas' men's basketball team to legally gain entry into the NCAA tournament. The ruling came about after the UNLV team decided to fight NCAA sanctions against it as a result of 1977 violations at the school. UNLV was baned from post­ season play in television appearances this season. The team compiled a 26-2 record and finished its season on March 3 with a nation-leading 23-game winning streak. The players argued that they were un­ fairly being punished for violations that occurred years before. Those violations were only recently resolved because a subsequent legal battle between coach Jerry Tarkanian and the NCAA did not end until 1990. On March 11, Judge Donald Mosley said he did not think the current players were treated fairly by the NCAA, but they did not have a legal right to post-season play. Playing in the NCAA tournament is a privilege, the judge said. THE APPALACHIAN tui'xhnsandthursdavs 'DON'T MISS II 4 IVVIVIiiMMI after an abortion?

Take the opportunity to vote, instead of Plaining about thecurrent system. The only way to makea change is to cast lot. America needs to look toward change By CHRIS BRADY Appalachian Staff Writer A segment recently came on The Dis­ covery Channel that I took an interest in, and I would hope more people can do the same in thefuture.The segment had Walter Cronkite hosting a panel of four so-called experts commenting on a 20-minute ex­ temporaneous presentation from each presidential candidate highlighting what each planned to do if they were elected president. I am in no way a political junkie, but I do take an interest in what is going on around me and yes, I do vote. I didn't catch all of the presentations, but I caught enough to develop some strong opinions. Upto now I feel there has not been enough time spent with what each candidate plans to do with the presi­ dency and too much time spent talking about who looks like a better leader, who has slept with whom, and who can poke more fun at whom: American politics at work. The presentations I caught were Demo­ cratic presidential candidates Bill Clinton and Paul Tsongas. Both delivered quite effective speeches, but at the same time they were quite different in their ap­ proaches to the speech. Clinton was straight ahead and to the point, telling everyone exactly what he thought was wrong and what he planned todo tochange things. Tsongas related three experiences during his life and how these experiences affect his everyday decisions as well as how they affect what he would do with the presidency. Both candidates highlighted the most important and obvious issue in this cam­ paign: this country needs to have some changes. Both pointed out that the Repub­ licans have divided the country. Instead of uniting as one, we are divided between class, gender and race. This is something that definitely needs to change. This brought to mind something that has bothered mefor some time now. There are those who like to be on one side of an issue, those who absolutely cannot bear to see the other side of an issue or others to form their own opinion. Recently there has beena battle between the Republicans and Democrats in The Appalachian, a verbal assault if you will. All either group accomplished with their assaults was to prove that both parties have problems, and neither is 100-percent effective. Now to my second pet peeve: straight ticket voters. This country was founded on unity, the coming together of a mass to form one. Why then do we love to sepa­ rate ourselves and associateourselves with a particular party or group, be it political or social or any other type of group? In this country we fight with each other while Japan and Germany run away and laugh at us. Issues such as abortion have torn this country and pitted one against another. The issue of abortion is a private matter that we have made public and humili­ ated many along the way. Why can't we let people make their own choices and be thankful that we have choices—or do we? Race is still a problem in this country. Everyone wants to take sides. What is wrong with coming together? It seems that all we care about is now. We can't come together in hope for a better tomor­ row. Everyone has blind faith, but blind faith is no excuse for ignorance. Changes need to be made all of the time from an international or national level all the way down to a personal level. Become edu­ cated and then evaluate your options both in the upcoming elections and in every­ day personal situations. If we can take pride in ourselves and make ourselves better we can grow together, not sepa­ rately. If we are afraid of change, it only shows that we are afraid of progress. Students complain about General Motors THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON GM is the only automobile company that still uses live animals in car crash tests Readers request that GM change policy To the Editor: Andy looked up in horror. Right in front of Sally, a worm was emerging from his forehead — and he felt himself turning even redder. I am writing to tell you about General Motors: the heartbreak of America. GM is the only automobile manufacturer that still uses live animals in car crash and safety tests. There are no laws that require animals to be used for safety tests, but GM still does. GM uses pigs, ferrets, dogs, monkeys and rabbits in their cruel and unneces­ sary testing. In a typical test done by GM, pigs are restrained and hung in a cloth sling to await a crushing blow to the stomach or chest from a pneumati­ cally driven metal disk. If the animals should survive these gruesome experiments, they are killed by electrocution. The skulls and necks of ferrets are crushed in order to study brain damage. In 1988 experiments, dogs were fed ethyl alcohol, had their chests and pericardiums cut open, and their hearts directly exposed with an air-pressurized impactor. General Motors claims that in spite of all this that the animals are not in any pain. If GM really cares about the safety of its customers, it should try a proven mettiod of installing air bags, which significantly reduces brain trauma in a collision. Despite all this testing, GM still has six of the top 10 cars in the 1990 highest death rate list. Crash dummies are used by other car companies along with visiting accident sites to see the effects of collisions on humans. Mercedes-Benz, SAAB, Audi, Volkswagon, Nissan, Isuzu and Hundai have never used animals to test on. Commendably, Ford stopped the practice of using animals in the 1970s. Recently, two members of the animals rights group, PAL, on the ASU campus visited the local GM dealer in Boone, bringing him a letter to the president of General Motors, Lloyd Reuss, to sign. The letter merely said that he understood that GM tested their cars by using animals and asked that GM reconsider their policy of using animals in their tests. This letter was not rude in any way. He was asked to read over some information on the testing policy and then sign the letter. He did not. He said he did not want to get involved. Did the dealer not understand how cruel this testing was to the animals, or did he just not care? Only he knows the answer. If he does not care about the safety of GM cars, how can he possibly be concerned with the safety of his customers? Think before you purchase your next car. We urge you to buy cars that are safer for yourself and the animals. Do not buy a GM product—Chevrolet, Geo, Oldsmobile, Cadillac, Buick, Pontiac, Saturn and GMC Trucks. If safety matters to you, take your business down the road. Johanna Weaver ASU Box 12436 Sheila KaspeTek ASU Box 13819 Parking on campus needs improvement To the Editor: Many students will agree that parking on Appalachian's campus is a growing concern. The system is not meeting the demands of the individuals that it was set up to serve. In today's fast-paced world a car is not a privilege; it is a necessity. I am very distressed about the current parking regulations set up and enforced by the ASU Public Safety and Security Department. Several minor changes need to be implemented in certain areas on campus. I was informed by the ASU Security Department that emergency flashers in no way exempt students, faculty or staff from being ticketed in the no-parking zones behind the residence halls. Where are we supposed to park when loading and unloading oui cars on campus? According to ASU Security there are 20-minute timed zones set aside for that purpose. But, how do several nine-floor residence halls utilize five or six times zones? The bookstore area is another campus location that warrants attention. There are five timed zones that are supposed to service the entire ASU campus. If I leave campus on Friday I am usually loading around noon. Sometimes I stop by the post office to check my mail or grab a snack from the Sweet Shop before leaving. Of course, all of the timed zones are full. What am I supposed to do? I could wait until a parking space clears, but that defeats the purpose of leaving early. The solution to this problem is practical and simple. We need to designate loading zones and/or some method of providing students a temporary parking status. I ask students to evaluate this problem and add their ideas to form a collective solution. Security needs to take our ;deas and concerns into consideration. After all, the department exists for the purpose of serving us. Bradley Tadlock ASU Box 10543 �The Appalachian.

Seventy-one percent of those students surveyed wanted to add additional visitation hours. Of the 25 percent which were content with their hall's hours, 79 percent live in a "C" option residence hall. ASU has two visitation options, "B" and "C" options. "B" option halls have limited visitation, from noon to mid­ night Sunday through Thursday, with extended hours to 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. C" option halls allow 24 hour visita­ tion, however, ASU currently has only four of 16 halls that are"C" option. Hoey, Justice, Newland and Winkler are all "C" option. East Residence Hall is partly "C" option. Eighty-Five percent of students would appreciate a change in the policy hours, with only 15 percent seeing a change in hours as negative. Of the 15 percent, half of the students live in "C" option resi­ dence halls. The survey, which was conducted by CRSA, was a random sampling of 500 students, of which 99 percent responded. The almost perfect response rate shows the amount of student interest, said Lisa Smith, chairpersonof the visitation change committee and Doughton Hall RSA presi­ dent. :30 p,& of" fcxi -aity - 5 p.m. One possible explanation for the num­ ber of students living off campus could be the residence hall visitation policy. The survey found that the visitation option was "very important" to 47 percent of those surveyed who would request a particular room or move off campus due to dissatisfaction. Thirty-three percent said the option was "somewhat important," with 15 percent saying it was "not impor­ tant." with stress By MARY C. BRIGHAM Appalachian Staff Writer A Feb. 26 Supreme Court ruling has cleared the way for sexually harassed students to sue schools for monetary dam­ ages under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. The ruling came in the case of a former high school student from Georgia who sued over her alleged sexual encounters with a teacher. The graduation outlook often depends onstress management for seniors who are seeing a significant part of their lives come to an end, said Ellen Arnold of the ASU Counseling Center. The center is tiditionally busy this time each year with seniors about to cross over from the acaisnic to the occupational world, accordagto Arnold. Senior Kelly Thompson is in the midst of an emotional frenzy. "I cried knowing that this spring break would be my last I) wl spring break," Thompson said. "I may be I mei forced to get a job I don't particularly want to do, just so I can have money." OgiCi Thompson said leaving behind the reg­ istration lines and exams is a good feel­ •a an ing, yet she admits the obvious draw­ •atiiij backs. "I can't skip work like I can skip ^ent^r class," she said. to i i r, tech '-m. Port risk s for neet Tied "T»m At the counseling center, seniors are advised to develop a balanced outlook on graduation. "It's certainly sad to lose the friends and the fun. Seniors need to set aside as much time as they need and devote it to these relationships," Arnold said. However, seniors need to keep this in balance with academic interests. Arnold said,"The mostcommonreaction is 'Let's, get it over with now.' When you're thinkmg about how the economy is affecting your chances for getting a job, the last chapter in calculus doesn't seem impor­ tant." The Learning Assistance Program aids students that find they have to rejuvenate academic skills. Outreach Coordinator Lynne Wilson leads an "S.O.S. Workshop" every Wednesday at 2 p.m. in the seminar room of D. D. Dougherty Hall. It's an informal session, and anyone an drop by," Wilson said of the program, which offers individual attention to stu­ dents plagued by test anxiety and poor academic stress management. The workshops can also help students who appear to be in outstanding academic shape. "We give students apep talk if they feel they're not getting anything out of •heir work," she said.

Off-campus students can vote in the student union today until 4 p.m. On-campus students can vote today only in their residence hall from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. "Money talks," said Barbara Daye, associate vice chancellor of student de­ velopment. "It will get the attention of some people. To me, it's not that way. Sexual harassment never needs to be based on monetary considerations. It's a saddecision. There might besome people who think otherwise, but 1 come from a different perspective." Richard Howe, director of the equal opportunities program, said he felt that instructors may be more cautious in deal­ ing with students now that awards of monetary damages are available to sexu­ ally harassed students. Daye said sexual harassment is a power relationship. "Something can be given or taken away from the student, so they will tell a friend or a parent first," said Daye. "The person will come forward because they don't want it to happen again. They don't want to get the harasser in trouble. They just want it to stopand not have their grade effected by it." In most cases, students don't want to fight the accused, but with the new Su­ preme Court ruling, it may become an option, according to Daye. Although the full implications of the ruling remain unclear, legal experts say the worst thing a university can do is ignore complaints of sexual harassment. Charlie Shanor, a law professor at Emory University, noted that the ruling fell under Title EX, which bars sexual bias in all educational programs that receive federal funding, including grants, so pri­ vate as well as public schools would be affected. The ruling basically parallels Title VII, which is the Equal Employ­ ment Opportunity Commission regula­ tion against sexual harassment. Title VII says an employer can be held liable for damages in sexual harassment cases if supervisors request sexual favors of employees in return for something. It also says that employers may be held liable if the sexual harassment involves the creation of a "hostile environment" (sexually explicit comments, nudephoto­ graphs on a wall etc.), but in such cases the employer must have had knowledge of the incident and ignored it. A professor who pressures a student for sex in return for a higher grade might present a clear-cut case of harassment. The university's responsibility becomes unclear, however, if students harass other students. Shanor said it depends on the circum­ stances. For example, if women repeat­ edly complained about suggestive remarks made by members of an on-campus fra­ ternity and the university ignored the prob­ lem, Shanor said he believed the school could be held liable under the court's latest ruling. The Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings in which Anita Hill accused Thomas of sexual harassment has caused many colleges to take closer looks at their sexual harassment policies. See COURT page 2 Program allows high school students to take college courses By ELIZABETH BELL Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian State University's Part­ nership Program continues to aid high school students in earning their degrees early. Most people have heard of the Ad­ vanced Placement Programs in high schools that allow students to earn col­ lege credit, but many have not heard of the Admissions Partnership Program of Appalachian. The APP is provided by Appalachian State to help highly motivated students earn their baccalaureate degree one year earlier than usual. APP participants can earn up to 26 semester hours of college credit in general education while com­ pleting their final year of high school. To qualify for the program, students must meet requirements for admission to Appalachian and must have a recommen­ dation of a high school counselor. These students are officially consid­ ered an Appalachian freshman while at the same time, are seniors in high school. The student has an Appalachian tran­ script and earns credits and a college grade point average like any other oncampus freshman. Courses offered in­ clude English composition and literature, western civilization, precalculus, calcu­ lus and a science. The highschool teachers of the Admis­ sions Partnership Program have been rec­ ommended by the high school principal and are screened and approved by the appropriate department at Appalachian. Following high school graduation, APP students may continue their course work at the Appalachian campus without fur­ ther application. Students may also trans­ fer their college credits toother schools of their choice. The benefit of the Admissions Partner­ ship Program is the absence of redun­ dancy that sometimes exists when an ad­ vanced freshman enters a college. In ad­ dition, students save money and time. Currently, tuition costs are S40 per se­ mester hour for instruction and textbook rental. The six high schools that offer the Admissions Partnership Program are Hibriten High, SouthCaldwell High,West Caldwell High, Davie County High, Starmount High and Forbush High. Carolyn Kanoy, program coordinator in the Division of Continuing Education at Appalachian State, travels to these high schools to conduct parent meetings and to advise students regarding college courses and placement. Most APP students come to Appalachian with about 18 semester hours, said Kanoy. Currently there are 170 APP students. See HIGH page 2 Student Government candidates field questions from Student Senate By KELLY FARRINGTON Appalachian Staff Writer Candidates from the president/vice presidential campaign gave their lastcampaign speeches and entertained questions from senators at the SGA Senate meeting held on March 24. In opening comments, Dan Gurley and Doug Duncan pledged to listen to Appa­ lachian students and acton their opinions. They stated that Appalachian should work as a pro-active university rather than a reactive one. Duncan added, "We want to run this like a well-oiled machine." Chip Baggett and Terie McHale, in their opening comments, stated that they live by their motto, "The Student, The Government, The Same." Baggett em­ phasized that all 12,000 students at Appa­ lachian are members of SGA, not just cabinet members and senators. He said that the Baggett-McHale ticket has the experience of SGA and the experience of student leadership. McHale added that the BaggettMcHale ticket will work for the students. stand up for the students, but also be students. Cameron Roberts was the only candi­ date representing the Roberts-Bozartcampaign. Roberts stated that he is a second­ ary history major and asked for votes and supporters. After hearing the candidates' opening remarks, the senators asked each ticket specific questions from their platforms. Concerns from the Gurley-Duncan plat­ forms were the T-shirts for freshmen, bike racks, and the facility at State Farm. Gurley explained how each idea would be funded and the reasoning behind the ideas. Baggett and McHale were asked to state the most important issue on their platform. McHale answered by explain­ ing the student leader cabinet, which would provide members of each club and organization an opportunity to talk with the president and v ice president on a regu­ lar basis. The idea behind the student leader cabinet is to improve communica­ tion between each club and SGA. Roberts was asked to expand on his implementation of liquor-by-the- drink. Roberts explained that any busi­ ness that did not support liquor-bythe-drink would not receive any busi­ ness from the Appalachian students. He added that this was his most radical idea. After additional questions were an­ swered, thecandidates delivered their clos­ ing remarks and SGA Senate continued the meeting. New business, which included a child recreational facility, laundry facilities. Alpha Omega and budget council, was sent to the Rules Committee of SGA. �-1'he Appalachian Thursday 26 locn Walk-A-Tbon to be held: The first-annual Walk-A-Thon to support the Richard T.

Option one would allow the halls to vote at the beginning of the year to determine their option for that year. The democratic process garnered the second highest amount of votes at 31 percent.

Of that 12 percent, 83 percent live in "C" option halls. "I am optimistic about the proposal, because from what I have seen there is a need for a change in policy," said Smith. The survey results will be presented to residence life, which will review them and determine what changes, if any, need to be made. The survey was conducted due to the amount of student complaints, according to Smith.

"It's not ng spoon-fed to them." Vf aaiy Ellen Dlouhy, vice president of es at Quality Education Data, an edui o*tal database company that re­ searches and tracks trends in videodisc "sage, said the programs are becoming increasingly popular, especially as a way to reach younger students considered at nsk of dropping out of high school or college. The Adventuresof Jasper Woodbury" is another successful videodisc program that is showing educators the value of this cutting-edge technology. The Jasper series is a product of Vanderbilt University's Learning Tech­ nology Center. It is the successor to apilot project that featured segments of the film "Raiders of the Lost Ark." We used Raiders because it was avail­ able on videodisc, and we had people re­ think it as a problem-solving venture," Bransford said."We said, 'Gee, you have this deep pit that Indy needs to get across, and it s about two Indy's wide.' The stu­ dents just started creating." The technology was so successful with the students that the Jasper series evolved, using the same concept to help students develop problem-solving skills by fol­ lowing the adventures of the character Jasper Woodbury. Bransford said research showed that the videodiscs not only helped students having difficulty, but gifted stu­ dents as well. And, he said Jasper's ad­ ventures have been used by students from first grade to college. The documented results of Jasper were impressive. "The data show that at five different sites, located in five different states, with varying curricula and with widely varying levels of academic achievement, the children in classrooms where the Jasper program was imple­ mented performed better than children in non-Jasper classrooms on an array of at­ titude, conceptual, computational • and problem-solving measures." The videodisc program at Miami rein­ forces those findings in terms of attitude. Research conducted on the effects of the racism videodisc showed that although it didn'tchange already-held prejudices, its message also did not come across as threatening or uncomfortable. Students said they enjoyed participating in the pro­ gram. About four years ago, Miami mass communications professor Bob Vogel came up with the idea of using the tech­ nology to combat racism at the school, which is more than 90 percent white. "It started when I, as a white faculty member, realized I was pre­ judiced...because I was uncomfortable with minority students because I wasn't used to them," he said. During class discussions about racism Vogel said he found himself asking the one minority student in his class to repre­ sent the views of an entire race.. "I realized that I wascontributing to the uncomfortableness,"hesaid. At the time, he was teaching a graduate class on inter­ active video technology. So, Vogel de­ cided to merge his social and academic interest to work with his students tocreate a pilot interactive videodisc program that addressed racism. Since then, Vogel has established a three-course sequence for students inter­ ested in creating a videodisc program for use on the campus. The first class deals with sensitization to social issues, the second is an introduction to videodisc technology and the third teaches students how to create a program. Students research, act, write, produce and tape the program. The racism video­ disc uses four scenarios that allow stu­ dents to choose outcomes, such as: •A white student and a black student meet at a party and address stereotypes Save the rainforests... such as "all blacks can play basketball, and they all listen to rap music." •A professor accuses a black student of taking an extra study guide for an absent black student •A black man asks a white woman out to dinner. •Two roommates, one white and one black, meet for the first time. "This has empowered the students be­ cause it came from the students," Vogel said. The program has been so successful that schools across the country have been calling Vogel for information about start­ ing similar programs. "What we've been trying to do is en­ courage other schools to do their own (videodiscs)," Vogel said. "It gets the word out on campus, it gets students in­ volved and it's exciting when you drive it through the curriculum." and the palm trees!!

Fertility laboratories across the coun­ try are paying as much as S380 a month for students to donate their semen to help infertile couples have a child through artificial insemination. 1 In most cases, students are the vast majority of donors," said William Andrews, executive director of the Amen can Fertility Society in Birmingham, Ala. Andrews cited two reasons for this. First, he said, infertile couples are look­ ing for donors who are intelligent. Sec­ ondly, Andrews said the students simply need money. Medical students are the most common donors, Andrews said. This type of work particularly appeals to these students because they face higher education costs, have little time for work and are most likely to be located near a fertility 7 lab. average paid to donors is about S35 a sample. At least 10 major sperm banks are located at colleges and universities in the United States, including the universities of Texas, Wisconsin, Missouri and Roch­ ester. part-time job any student ever put on a resume. College newspaper advertisements are apopular way to recruit student donors. A recent Zygen lab ad in the Daily Sundial at CaliforniaState University,Nonhridge, offered "up to S380 a month for only six hours of your spare time." The short time required to earn money at a sperm bank is a major appeal to college students. "They're in school full-time, and they have no time to go out for several hours and work at ajob,"said Chris Leonard, an office manager with Zygen Laboratory, a fertility lab in Van Nuys, Calif., that re­ cruits students from local colleges and universities. Somestudentshavebeendonatingregularly to Zygen for more than a year. Leonard said. She estimates that as many as 75 students are actively donating to Zygen, earning $30 per accepted sample Andrews estimates that the nationwide Donations are accepted only after a rigorous screening process that tests samples for adequate sperm count and sexually transmitted diseases. Each do­ nor faces questions about his sexual back­ ground and must undergo a physical and a blood test for the HIV virus. Zygen lab allows students to donate up to three times per week. Other fertility labs place greater restrictions on the num­ ber of contributions per year. Zygen lab superviser Anh Le said the company prefers students as donors be­ cause they often are healthier, better edu­ cated and between the preferred ages of 18 and 35. There is also more ethnic diversity on campus, and thecouples who use the samples are of all races. Even so, there may be some restric­ tions. At Zygen, for example, students who are 5 foot 7 or under need not apply. "Most of the (couples) don't like short men," Le said. Students also may be more intrigued by the idea of helping infertile couples, said Nancy Shanfeld, health promotion coordinator at California State Univer­ sity, Northridge's student health center. "With the number of infertile couples today—and I read recently it's one out of six couples—you've got a tremendous problem. Forty percent of the time, it's the male with the problem," she said. Despite the high pay for short hours, students should not expect to work their way through college as a sperm donor. Because of the careful screening, only a limited number of students are accepted. You can say our average is about five out of50,"Lesaid. MEDICAL • LEGAL • EMOTION I -634- ' HP* ' I 2224 1108 E.

The movie depicts a doctor, •ayed by Sean Connery, who is purtg a cure for cancer in the jungles of th America. The doctor has been ig with a tribe for the past six years y ing to isolate a serum for the cure of :er. The doctor sends for one of his old colleagues to assist but instead is joined by a fresh college graduate portrayed by Maureen Bracco. The new arrival is met with disappointment and doubt from the doctor. She travels down a dangerous river to provide thedoctor with assistance and to deliver a very important package containing golf balls. The movje 'ifrnvides amazing footage of the rain forests of South America. The excellent footage displays a hard­ hitting visual example of how the rain forests are being destroyed at an alarming rate. Sean Connery's character is appointed to become the tribe's medicine man when shortly after his arrival he cures a boy's upset stomach with an alka setzer to the amazement of the tribe. His work is so impressive that the tribe's native doctor leaves to isolate himself from the rest of .the tribe. He then-Begins a process of discovering a cure for cancer. The two originally do not get along, but eventually she gains his respect and acceptance. The new assistant has a rough time adapting to living in the jungle and working with second rate materials. The two doctors begin to run into frustration and decide to go to the tribe'sold medicine man and ask for help. The tribe's former doctor con­ fronts Connery and reveals that his past attempts to find a cure have been going the wrong way. The two research together todetermine that the cure for cancer lies in a flower that is in short supply and grows 100feet from the ground on top of trees in the area. The two and the tribe begin to gather all of the flowers they can find as they battle against the arrival of the bulldozers clearing away the forest for a road. The doctors are forced to look at the alternative possibilities for locat­ ing the flower and reproducing the serum in the race against time and bull­ dozers. "Medicine Man" was produced by Donna Dubrow and Andrew Vagna. Sean Connery is the executive producer of the film. The film carries an Rrating. The best part of the film is the beautiful footage and photography of the rain for­ ests of South America. The doctors dem­ onstrate great courage in their stance against the construction and time. The movie does not top my list of favorites, but it does speak to your con­ scious. This film puts the viewer in touch with just how devastating the destruction of rain forests can be to the people that live there and to the world. A Sweet climb up the pop music charts Special to the Appalachian Photo Courtesy of Melted Lsvina ^EF.T DEAL: Pop singer Matthew Sweet is climbing the charts with his album irifriend." Sweet wrote most of the songs in response to his recent divorce. Sweet eves the emotional intensity of the album is what strikes a common chord with his —Ii Drums changed Matthew Sweet. In 1989, he came off the road after his first tour as a frontman and purchased a drum kit. It became the catalyst for his new musical direction. He played the dmm parts on his new demos—those who heard them thought he had finally found his niche. Where once his songs were regu­ lated by the rigidity of programmed rhythms, the real drums gave the new material a loose, unbridled feel Sweet had never experienced before. They got him thinking about what made his favorite records so great: spontaneous, bare-bones recording with the uncertainty of the hu­ man touch behind every note and beat. "Girlfriend," Sweet's third LP and first for Zoo Entertainment, is the climax of this new outlook. Working in a small studio in New York City, Sweet gathered together drummer/ co-producer Fred Maher, guitar munchers Robert Quine and Richard Lloyd, drum­ mer Ric Menck of Velvet Crush, Lloyd Cole on acoustic guitar, and pedal steeler Greg Leisz from k.d. lang's Reclines. Unlike his first two albums, "Girlfriend" was recorded and mixed quickly, without computers and with as few overdubs as possible. Its rock moments are blistering, as the pure melodies skid recklessly along­ side the music's serrated edge. The acous­ tic songs hit down deep with their lyrical poignancy and lush strumming. The har­ monies are no less exquisite. Sweet was bom and raised in Lincoln, Neb. During high school, he worked in a local music store and played in various new-wave cover bands. After graduating in 1983, he departed for Athens, Ga., for summer school. Before long, he joined local band Oh-Ok and formed his own group, Buzz of Delight; both released EPs on Atlanta's DB Records. It was during this period that things started happening for Sweet. The new album is much harder-edged than Sweet's first two efforts without obscuring the artist's uncanny sense of classic pop. Thematically, the new album delves far deeper into the human psyche than its two predecessors, and with good reason: Sweet wrote these songs while frantically trying to keep a firm grip as his personal life took a ride on the tilt-awhirl. While touring Europe as the guitar player in Lloyd Cole's first post-Commo­ tions road band. Sweet was smack in the middle of divorce proceedings with his wife, and money was close to nonexist­ ent. Add to the mix the fact that he was meeting his first girlfriend since the breakup, and the image of an emotional tornado comes into sharp focus. "The album reflects the actual overlap­ ping of theend of one relationship and the beginning of another," Sweet said. "The songs are semi-autobiographical in this sense only." "Girlfriend," originally titled "Noth­ ing Lasts," features a cover photo of ac­ tress Tuesday Weld taken in 1957 when she was a teenager. Of "Looking at the Sun," for example, he said: "I was say ing a couple of things— one being that people often get stuck in destructive relationships, the other that ^ee The Rolling Stones play in Charlotte : ial to the Appalachian oiling Stones AtThe Max," the first ^ ^"*Jmax feature-lengthconcert film, will «• at Discovery Place on March 27. tolling Stones AtTheMax' is strictly id-raiser for the museum's educa'n 1 programming," said Freda *3lson, executive director of Discovlace and the Nature Museum, ri critically-acclaimed film, co-proby The BCL Group and Imax Corr *~*on haS already exceeded $5,400,000 * office receipts for the 19 giant, _ Omnimax and Imax theatresofferfllm- ' as no rock band in the world can thrill of the Rolling Stones at the t^le'r ^orm' so noordinary film can ^ die impact of an Omnimax film.

The 89-minute concert film produced in DigitalSound features 15 of the songs that established the Stones widely held reputation as "the world's greatestrock and roll band." Shot over five nights in July and August 1990 during the fi­ nal European leg of the monumental Steel Wheels/Urban JungleTour, the film continues to gamer exceptional reviews and has appeared on several 1991 yearender movie summaries as one of the year's best. Using the revolutionary camera and projector that advances the film horizon­ tally as opposed to vertically (the conven­ tional method), Omnimax boasts an im­ age size 10 times as big as the standard 35 mm film and three times larger than 70 mm film. This is the larg­ est image in motion picture history. u The awardwinning Omni­ max "Rolling Loop" projector allows images of extraordi­ nary clarity to be projected with unparalleled steadi­ ness onto giant screens, almost fill­ ing the viewer's peripheral vision. Forty-four speakers and 16,000 watts of power surround the audience with incredible sound which adds to the impression of being in the action of the film. This is the largest image in motion picture history. 99 "Rolling Stones At The Max" will be shown Thursdays and Sundays at 8 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays at 8 and 10 p.m. through April. Beginning in May, the museum will offer the film Thursdays through Sundays at 8 and 10 p.m. "We will only offer the film after hours, and it willnot affect our regular Omnimax schedule," said Nicholson. The museum is now showing "The Dream Is Alive" followed by 'To The Limit"starting June 6. Tickets for the "Rolling Stones At The Max" film will cost S13 and will be available only at the box office at Discov­ ery Place or tlirough Ticketmaster ticket centers including Tracks/Record Bar locations and select Cantelot Music locations in North Carolina. Tickets will also be on sale at select Tracks/Record Bar locations and The Record Cellar in South Carolina. To Charge-By-Phone, call Ticketmaster at (704) 522-6500 or (919) 834-4000. Tickets can only be purchased with cash, Visa or Mastercard. the naked truth can sometimes be a de­ structive force." Those universal themes run throughout the record, evidenced in such titles as "Thought I Knew You" ("This one is about feeling betrayed, bit­ ter") and the self-explanatory "You Don't Love Me." Sweet's songs appeal to both the hope­ lessly romantic and hopelessly cynical sides in all of us. They reveal the torture of heartbreak, but always return to the heart for safety.They question the objec­ tives of our faith, but find hope in the human spirit. "Divine Intervention" explores the dif­ ficulty of belief in God in today's secular world. "I just wonder if there really is a God of the kind that's always been de­ scribed to us." And "Day For Night" preaches self-determination: "It's a lib­ eration song. It's about giving up one life for another." There are no clear-cut an­ swers to be found here, just difficult ques­ tions that mirror real life. Make no mistake, "Girlfriend" is a pop record. But it's also an emotional, per­ sonal album that is deeply affecting. Campus Paperback Bestsellers 1.

The Thundering Herd won both tilts, by scores of 2-0 and 2-1. i ":™i I The wins were the first Southern Conference victories of the season for the Thundering Herd, who now stands at 2-6 in the SC and 8-10 overall. The Mountaineers slipped to 7-16 overall and 3-5 in the league with the losses. The Apps and Herd were slated to play a third contest Sunday, but the game was rained out. In the opening game on Saturday, the Mountain­ eers were baffled by the pitching of Marshall's Steve Bennett. Bennett yielded just one hit in the game, a single by John Bonner, and cruised to the seven-inning shutout. Bennett improved to 2-3 on the season.

Henzler then sent a solo blast over the wall with one out in the bottom of the 11th to give Marshall a 2-1 win. ASU reliever Dave Gonsiorowski, who gave up the game-winning homer, fell to 1-2 with the loss. Marshall's Ricky Paugh, who retired just one Mountaineer batter, picked up the victory to im­ prove his record to 2-0. Matt Spadew went the first 102/3 inning for the Herd, striking out13 Apps and allowing no unearned runs. He allowed just three ASU hits. Mountaineer hurler Danny Wills tossed nine innings of one-run ball. "Our pitchers did a great job," ASU head Coach Jim Morris said. "Vullo and Danny pitched about as well as they can. "They've got two outstanding pitchers," Morris continued. "I've got to give them credit. It was just two fantastic baseball games."

Seventeen other squads participated in the quality competition in Winston-Sa lem. The Mountaineers were unable to land any firstplace finishes at Wake Forest, but they re­ ceived a number of posi­ tive season opening per­ formances. Senior Kedrick Ford was the high-placing in­ dividual performer as he finished third in the 110 meter hurdles with a time of 14.5. Boththe4X 100 and 4 X 200 meter relay teams also captured third-place finishes for ASU. Clocking 41.1 and 1:27.8 respectively, both teams consisted of Leander Watts, Eric Joe, Frank Allen and Jason Dal ton. "Overall it was a good opening meet. Our times were not the greatest, but considering the cold weather and the wind, we are satisfied with the meet," ASU Assistant Coach Paul Goewey said. finishes as Grant set a personal best mark in the hammer throw at 155' 1 1/2", Lloyd clocked 15.1 in the 110 hurdles, and Walters clocked 9:31.5 in the 3,000 meter steeplechase. Sophomore Billy Pemberton posted the only sixth place finish with a personal best time of 15:04.2 in the 5,000 meter run. Both the women's and men's squads will travel to Raleigh this weekend to compete in the Raleigh Relays. The first home meet for both squads will be on April 18 at Kidd Brewer Stadium as the Apps host the Mountaineer Invita­ tional. After the Mountain­ eer Invitational, ASU will set their sights on the Southern Conference championships. The SC Champion­ ships will be held this year on the campus of Marshall University in Huntington, W.Va. The Mountaineers finished second in last season'sSC championship and are coming off a second-place showing in the indoor track season. Following the conference championship, the Apps will compete in the Spec Townes Meet at Athens, Ga. The University of Georgia will serve as the host for the meet. If any Mountaineers qualify for nationals, the Apps will head for Austin, Tx., for the NCAA Outdoor Track Championships. The NCAA's will take place June 26 on the campus of the University ofTexas in Austin. 44 Overall it was a good opening meet. Our times were not the greatest, but considering the cold weather and the wind, we are satisfied with the meet. 5? Appalachian Photo by Larry Baugess TRACKSTERS OPEN OUTDOOR SEASON AT WAKE FOREST: The Appalachian State men's and women's track teams opened their outdoor seasons at Wake Forest last week. The ASU men recorded three third-place finishes in the meet, while the Lady Apps captured four first-place finishes. Finishing fourth for the Apps was sophomore Dennis Gutknecht in the pole vault with a mark of 14'-6" and freshman Ryan Theil in the high jump at 6' 4 . Freshman RichGrant, junior Lawrence Lloyd and senior Todd Walters posted fifth place Lady Apps turn in good performance at Wake Lady Mountaineers capture four first-place finishes in first outdoor meet of ine season By LYDIA E. CRAVER Appalachian Staff Writer The Appalachian State women's outdoor track squad opened its 1992 season at the Wake Forest Invitational on March 21 competing with squads from Wake Forest, Duke, Davidson, UNC Asheville, UNC Wilmington, North Carolina A & T, Virginia Tech, Navy, Yale, Old Dominion, Colgate, Slippery Rock, Living­ stone, Millersville, Kutztown and Bucknell. The Lady Mountaineers captured four firstplace finishes at the Wake Forest meet with sophomore Melissa Morrison and senior Monica Teeter cap­ turing individual titles. Morrison won the 100 meter hurdles with a clocking of 14.74, and Teeter captured the 400 meter hurdles at 63.54. Morrison anchored the winning 4 X 200 meter relay squad with teammates Precious Quire,Tonie Lazenby and Alice Vinson who combined to clock 1:43.2 for first place. The 4 X 800 meter relay also won with a time of 9:41.6. Carrie Hogg, Melanie Babb, Jessica Parkhan and Julie Anderson com­ posed the winning team. "It was our first meet off of the break and our first meet outdoors," ASU Head Coach John Weaver said. We haven't really gotten into thehard outdoor cycle yet but overall we competed well and did a pretty good job." Weaver sighted the weather conditions in Win­ ston-Salem as a factor in his squad's performance. "It was very cold. The temperature was about 30 degrees, and there were 10-15 mile per hour winds, so that slowed our times somewhat." Also finishing strong for the Lady Apps was junior Sherri Miller who finished third in the discus with a throw of 127'. The Lady Apps return to action this weekend. ASU will venture to Raleigh to participate in the Raleigh Relays. The Raleigh Relays is one of the largest regional collegiate track meets. The Lady Mountaineers, who have won 15 con­ secutive Southern Conference Championships in cross-country, indoor track and outdoor track are favored to win another SC title this spring. ASU must do most of its early-season work on the road, however. Appalachian will not enjoy a home meet until April 18 when it hosts the Mountaineer Invi­ tational.

Only four of 16 residence ills have 24-hour visitation, or a "C" option (East is a limited"C" option hall), u events surveyed seem to be clamoring for expanded visitation. E- • ^hty-five percent of students surveyed would see a change in hours as is i ive- which echoes a similar statistic of 71 percent of students who would ian Sc dicir hall's hours by increasing visitation time. In fact, Lisa Smith, the t»ix~pcrson of the CRSA visitation change committee, admits that the need for c survey evolved from the number of students' complaints concerning the j-ro nt hours. \V hat should this tell the office of residence life? After reviewing survey sul ts, there should be changes made to accommodate students. This survey io "v^s students' opinion,and if changes are made, the housing structure at ASU kj1d be revamped. Administrators have admitted that they want to accommoiLG more students with on-campus housing.Currently, only 38 percent of ASU jdents live on campus. Considering that all freshmen arc required to live on xrn jpus for an entire year, those numbers are even more questionable. By io-wing students to have expanded visitation hours, there should be an ~ rerased demand for residence hall spaces. The survey found dissatisfaction visitation hours could be the reason students move off campus. These nplc changes in visitation could elicit unparalleled demand for hall spaces, i r* £»ing in additional revenue for the university.

THE FAR SIDE If George Washington were running for president of the United Slates today, he wouldn't have a chance at being elected. Campaigns of all kinds have changed dramatically within the past 200 years—so dramatically that we have to wonder how previous presidents would hold up under the pressure of televised debates and mud-slinging ad­ vertisements. We would have to wonder what the Father of Our Country's opponents would subject him to if he were on a ticket for either party in 1992. The fact that the great general helped us defeat King George's men and win our freedom would not matter when the opposing party's candidates aired the dirty laundry. Washington could have been proven guilty of any number of cardinal offenses ranging from having illegiti­ mate children by his slaves to attacking a group of poor British soldiers on Christmas Day. In this information age, in which we've decided that everything about a candidate's life, public or private, becomes our business once that candidate has decided to run for office, the Father of Our Country would never survive. Even if he survived careful scrutiny of his s»x life in an age in which we've decided that it is our right to know everyone a candidate is sleeping with or has slept with, good ol' George would never survive an important scru­ tiny that developed with the age of television—looks. Come on, what 1992 voter in his or her right mind would vote for a guy who wore his hair like that? The business of campaigning today has become a competition as to whocan charm the most voters,not who will actually m ake a good p.esident. The debates between Democratic presidential candidate John Kennedy and Republican opponent Richard Nixon in 1960 were the First series of debates ever to be televised.The odds were against Kennedy. He had only been a senator from Massachusetts, whereas Nixon had been vice president under Dwight Eisenhower in the '50s. Kennedy was only 43, which would make him the youngest president ever. And, what's more, he was Catholic, which made a lot of Protestants nervous—I guess they thought he was going to make a law that everyone had to go to confession. Anyway, as we all know, Kennedy won the 1960 election and the rest is history. Kennedy's charisma and his debate style helped him against Nixon. Nixon all but made a fool out of himself trying to debate Kennedy on television. Nixon's hot-under-the-collar style was no match for Kennedy's calm, cool manner of debating. I'm not saying Kennedy wouldn't have won anyway, only that his debating skills helped him tremendously against Nixon. Ronald Reagan, a former actor, had the same advan­ tage Kennedy had, but in a different form. Reagan didn't exactly whip Mondale in debates in 1984, but his acting career had taught him a few tricks about charming the American public. Candidates are in business to win, and they'll use whatever tricks they have to defeat their opponents. Elections are no longer a matter of deciding who will be the best president. Candidates are out to feed the Ameri­ can people exactly what they want to hear. Any candidate who has any hope of winning is going to tell you that he or she is for education and against taxes. It's almost impossible to tell from the candidates' platforms exactly who will actually do something if elected. Many candidates, instead of saying they're for educa­ tion and against taxes and telling the American people all the wonderful things they'11 do if elected, decide to attack their opponents through negative political advertising. Some campaigns aredirtier thanothers. The Jesse Helms/ Harvey Gantt senatorial race in 1990 is the nastiest one I've seen yet. Helms went at Gantt's throat, and vice versa, on every issue from abortion to taxes. Then, of course, there are those incidents in which dirty laundry gets aired, and we Find out that a candidate had an extramarital affair. Yes, extramarital affairs are wrong. Everyone knows that. But what we have to remember is that a candidate's affair is the business of that candidate, his or her spouse, and the third party— that's it. It is not the business of the American public. A justifiable reason for investigating a candidate's private life in such a manner is that the American people want a president with good moral character, and sleeping around on one's spouse is an indication of the opposite. However, we can never know all the details, so we are better off keeping our noses out of it, especially with the country in the situation it is in now. My personal opinion is, Find me acandidate whocan straighten up theeconomy, and I don't care who he or she slept with. With the election dates drawing nearer and nearer, we need to start thinking about who to vote for, if we haven't already. We also need to consider how much of our opinion is based on how good an official we think the candidate will make, and how much of it is based on modern media portrayals of political figures.

Why did I not hear a single person discuss Desert Storm in the classroom while it was happening? Was I in the wrong class? the wrong place? the wrong campus? Were professors warned not to discuss it? 2. Why do ASU students wear T-shirts and sweatshirts that advertise another uni­ versity? Why didn't they attend those other schools whose shirts they wear so much? Do you think that students at UNC or Duke walk around campus wearing ASU T-shirts? BY GARY LARSON 3. Why can'teverybody, especially the media, totally ignore the Klan marches in Blowing Rock and Boone? Why can't I make myself believe that being out of sight is not being out of mind? Why can't it snow about three feet on Easter Sunday, so that all one would see of the marchers are eyeballs? 4. Why are professors allowed to pile work on students over Spring Break? What's the point of having aSpring Break if there is no break to speak of? Who is it a break for anyway? The students or the professor? Who beneFits, in the end, from Spring Break? 5. Why can I buy twice as much food at a fast food restaurant as I can at the ASU Food Court? Why has the burger smell and look remained the same for the past 15 years? Why are smokers given the largest room in the Food Court and nonsmokers allocated to the smallest, coldest room? 6. Why are students who receive veter­ ans' beneFits required to be degree-seek­ ing instead of certification-seeking stu­ dents? Why should I have to spend an unnecessary year in school when I can be teaching with a certificate just as easily as with a degree, since I already have one B.S. degree? Who do you think beneFits from this requirement? 7. Why doesn't the office in charge of issuing parking spaces on campus make it clear, by printing the fact somewhere, that parking spaces are sold on a firstcome First-serve basis? Do they think that I would pay good money to walk all the way up the hill to Broyhill parking lot, in the dead of winter, at night after my last class at 9, with a load of books, to get my car? 8. Why does the Appalachian re­ quire that all letters to the editor be typewritten and double-spaced? Are we editors and proofreaders or are they? 9. Why ask why? Why not just drink beer, get drunk and forget the whole thing? Why indeed? Organization thanks newspaper OASIS, agency of protection for abused, appreciates coverage OASIS expresses its appreciation RA comments on residence life columns To the Editor: To the Editor: OASIS, Inc. would like to thank you and Randy Reinink for the article that The Appalachian ran about our program and services in the February 25, 1992, edition. There was one item that I would like to have corrected. In talking with Randy, I was explaining the difference between a she'ter like OASIS and one such as the Sleeping Place. OASIS has guidelines that a client must fall within to be eligible to utilize the OASIS facilities. Unfortunately, OASIS cannot accommodate persons who are "homeless" due to situations other than domestic violence or sexual assault or abuse. Our clients are in danger or arc threatened with domestic violence or a sexual assault situation. Randy used a phrase to explain this difference, he stated that OASIS is not a "social referral agency." This statement is inaccurate. A main focus for OASIS is to provide referral to our clients for medical, legal and financial needs. We would like to make this point clear to your readers. We would hate for someone to go without help because they were unaware of the services that OASIS can provide. Thank you for your help with this minor correction. And once again, we are very grateful for the exposure to your readers. We appreciate your help! God makes the snake Jennifer Herman, OASIS, Inc. P.O. Box 1591 Boone, NC 28607 I must question where The Appala­ chian received the information to do the "Residence hall policies examined" article. Obviously, your source was not well-informed on residence halls and their policies. The first three sentences of the article were correct and factual. The rest was your opinion, and was based on insufficient information. Some corrections of fact I suggest for the article arc: 1. "With the exception of East Hall and Coffey Hall, every residence hall, either single sex or coed, has separate halls for each sex."—Not true—What about Winkler? 2. "What also makes perfect sense is that up until this year, one bathroom on each hall was designated for guests of the opposite sex ."—Not true—I lived in Bowie my freshman year (89-90) and we did not have a rcstroom designated for males. 3. "Unfortunately, the unnecessary rules arc enforced as well as the necessary ones."—What does this mean?— I am a Resident Assistant, and every rule enforced in my building is very necessary for the protection of my residents. If you have a problem with the rules, I encourage you to use your Resident Student Association to make a change in policy, just as we are attempting to change the visitation policy through our campus-wide organization. 4. "Why docs the Office of Resi­ dence Life (or whoever is m charge of setting up options in the different halls) seem to think that everyone who wants to live on C-option wants to live on a coed hall?" —What about Newland?— 5. "I wish more single-sex halls were available on campus. Only one, Frank, is available for guys, and after this year only Lovill, White, Belk and Eggers will be available for girls."—Not true— Justice is also available for men and Newland will be available for women. No, Newland will not be closed for construction this fall. In the future, please try to acquire some facts before you write again about housing on campus or the Office of Residence Life. As for the change in visitation hours proposal. Campus Resident Student Association is pushing for that change. We encourage you to attend one of our meetings (Mondays 7 p.m. room 119 of IG Greer) to voice your opinions, or utilize the representatives from your hall as a resource. Our organization will provide you with minutes from our meetings so you will not be misinformed again. This is the second lime this academic year our organization has been misrepre­ sented. It only makes me question the validity of the other "news" in The Appalachian. Beth Rissmiller P.S. I just read the "Greeks do not need more housing" article. I do not have the time nor do you have the space in this paper to make correction to the article. I again impress upon you the need for using reliable sources. I feel sure the staff at the Residence Life Office will be happy to help you get accurate information. �LIL The Appalachian.

The Senate tickets consist of Chip Biggett/TerieMcHale, DanGurley/Doug Duncan and Cameron Roberts/Danny Bozart. The candidates were questioned by a panel consisting of members of The Ap­ palachian, WASU, the College Demo- crats, the Young Republicans and InterFraternity Council. In their assessment of SGA, the Gurley Duncan ticket admitted that they see some inefficiency in the current senate opera­ tion and proposed reducing thenumber of Elections will be held on March 25, 26 On campus voting: 5 p.m. - 9 p.m. in residence halls Off campus voting: 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. on the 25th and 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. on the 26th. senators in a organization that Gurley said has become "bloated." Duncan agreed that there is a lack of organization this year but said, "I am the - to reon on lie m. person who can bring Senate back to the level that it was." However, McHale said she had not seen the problems Gurley described in senate this year. '1 feel senate has beer strong this year. I would say that we've been getting a kick in the pants. The senate has worked hard." McHale conceded that she felt the meet­ ings needed to be run moreefficiently, but added, "Senate has done a lot for the students even though we haven't passed bill after bill." Roberts said he did not see the need for structural changes in senate and felt the senate was doing an adequate job. "Sen­ ate is fine the way it is," Roberts said. A major topic, which was addressed several times in the panelists' questions, asked the candidates their plan to in­ crease student involvement and interest of SGA. A recent survey by student de­ velopment found that 74 percent of stu­ dents had never talked with their senators. Gurley and Duncan advocated an "open-door" policy, a forum for students to talk with the president and vice presi­ Seniors give money to This is your brain. # library fund This is your brainon drugs. a)- By SUZI LANDIS Appalachian Staff Writer Five hundred and twenty-five seniors hive pledged to give a combined total of $108,750 to Belk Library. Fifteen hundted dollars was collected last week with iijney continuing to come in daily, said Senior Committee Class Gift Chairman Kelly Keith. "Response has been good,"said Keith. "Five hundred and twenty-five students hive said yes to pledging, and many more hive said maybe." The Senior Committee held a phoneUhon to contact seniors and inform them ibout the class gift The class goal was 500 pledges of $150 each. The senior class has already passed that goal and hopes to continue to receive pledges. The Senior Class of 1992 decided to make its gift a contribution to the library fund based on a vote, which showed that amajority of seniors supported the library fund as their class gift. "We've gotten a lot of praise from students and faculty," said Keith. "We hope to present the money to the library and have some say in what is to be bought," said Keith. "It will be a combined effort between the library and the seniors." On Wednesday, April 29, a reception *ill be held in the library from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. "It's a way of saying thank you to 'bose who pledged," said Keith. The committee will present the library the money it has collected at that hme and accept new pledges. There will also be a display of what is being bought *"b die money by the library, explained with. A suggestion box will also be set "P to take ideas from the seniors. The money will be spent on a little bit J" a lot of different areas," commented w>th with. Pledges are made in five increasing yearly amounts, explained Keith. Each s®1'°r contacted is asked to give $10 now •nd increase the amount by $10 each year for five years. Therefore, the senior class °f 1992 will present its entire monetary ut its fifth year class reunion. The library, though, is able to spend the money the committee has collected from e first installment, without delay. Each pledging senior received an inj^bve gift.

Students living on-campus are more active and well-adjusted than other students, according to a recent student development survey.

Refund policy changes to help students By AM ANDA NELSON Appalachian News Editor Students will receive cash back if they drop their classes before the 25th day of classes, due to a refund policy passed by the ASU Board of Trustees in their March 20 meeting. The change was called "more lenient toward students," by Mary Kay Ollis, board member and student development committee chairman. The refund pobcy entitles a full refund to students who notify of their withdrawal before classes begin. However, students who withdraw within the first five days of classes will receive a 90 percent refund of tuition, fees and room rent payments. All refunds exclude adv ance tuition and hous­ ing deposits. Sixty percent of tuition, fees and room rent can be recovered by students within the sixth to 15 day of classes, dropping down to 30 percent from the 16th to 25th day. After the 25th day of classes, there is no refund available. Increasing costs will increase the cost of the proposed science and mathematics building by $4,900,016. The estimated cost of the building went from $32,666,773 to $37,566,789, and was approved by the board. In other business, the board approved a $23,000 office space addition to the New River Light and Power Company which is to be used for drafting and engineering. The addition will be funded by the current working funds of New River Light and Power Company. Applying to ASU became more expen­ sive with the board's approval of an appli­ cation fee increase of $10, from $15 to $25. The increase had already begun at several other UNC system schools, according to the business affairs commit­ tee. The additional revenue from the appli­ cation increase fee would go toward the two-year delayed installation of a tele­ phone registration system and to finance a recruitment video tape to all persons applying to the university. In other business affairs, a consultant was hired to bring the Steam Plant into compliance with the various regulatory agencies. The board voted by mail to hire See REFUND page 2 dent, a weekly column in The Appala­ chian and attendance at RSA meetings. Roberts and Bozart agreed that most things like "open-door" policies were common sense; hence, they said they were understood platform goals. McHale said that a reason for the lack of communication concerning the senate was inadequate coverage in The Appala­ chian. "There has been no communica­ tion. It has not been my fault. I have been in contact with them (the newspaper)," McHale said. In other questions regarding: •Greek housing All candidates agreed to support greekfunded greek housing, with Roberts ad­ vocating the building of additional resi­ dence hall for non-gTeeks. AH the candi­ dates pointed out the benefit of additional space in the residence halls which would be freed up for non-greek studentsif greeks are able to work out a housing proposal. •Environment Roberts dubbed he and his running mate "the env ironmental presidents,"and said they wanted more recycling bins in areas that are more visible and accesible to students. Gurley and McHale agreed on an expansion of the current recycling program with Gurley advocating the start of recycling plastic. McHale stressed the See SENATE page 2 Survey finds on-campus students more active By ADAM HATCH Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian students wholiveoncampus are more involved with student ac­ tivities, are happier with their social lives, and perform slightly better academically, according to a study done by the student development office. The study showed that on-campus stu­ dents have a better appreciation for uni­ versity-sponsored art, music and theater. "Students thatlive on campus are more exposed to other students and faculty, thus allowing them to grow socially," said ASU Vice Chancellor for Student Development, Dr. Greg Blinding. Blinding also said, "Students that live on campus obtain a more positive selfimage, and their new self-image is more likely to provide the student with a more positive college experience," The schools in the University of North Carolina system are required to poll their seniors every two years. The report entided "College Student Experiences of Graduating Seniors" is Appalachian's most recent poll. During the spring semester of 1991, graduating seniors were asked to com­ plete Pace's College Student Experience Questionnaire when they applied for graduation. The sample consisted of 756 students, or approximately 633 percent of the graduating senior class. However, the data presented in the report is from only seniors. Of those re­ sponding, the majority said that "Stu­ dents who have lived in a residence hall at Appalachian reported a higher gain than students whohave not lived in a residence hall at Appalachian in the area(s) of de­ veloping one's own values and ethical standards, the ability to get along with different kinds of people, and understand­ ing one's own abilities, interests and per­ sonality." Freshmen are usually required to live on campus for their first two semesters and then may seek whatever typeof hous­ ing they wish. Transfer students aid stu­ dents from the Walauga County area that live at home are the only students not required to live in a residence hall as freshmen. "We notice differences in the areas of use of thestudent union, the fitness center and the university meal plans," Blimling said. There are other effects according to the report, which stated students have fewer emotional problems and have higher edu­ cational aspirations when they live on campus for all four (or more) years, mti are more likely to graduate. The on-campus student has no work with electricity or a rent payment because that is all taken care of at the time of tuition, thus providing the student with a more free and unclouded mind for learn­ ing, Blimling said. "The laiiversity is a rather benevolent landlord," said Blimling. Due to the effect that on-campus hous­ ing hason students' satisfaction with their whole college experience, the university is trying to create more on-campus hous­ ing. There will be between 400-500 new spaces created for students that want to live on campus; however, the timing is unknown. "The problem is to decide where to put upanew building.Wedo live in the mountains, and they are not the easiest place to build,"said Associate Vice Chan­ cellor for Student Development, Robert Fide. "It is up to each individual student to decide what is best for him or her in their academic career," said Blimling. �The Appalachian. Tuesday. Mm-rh 74 foo?

"Hey! Baby! What ya doin tonight?" Or... "Gorgeous! Wanna take a ride?" yells a hairy mongrel as he pulls up beside me in a loud and longMalibu. Or... "Beautiful! Do you want me to shake or call you in the morning?!" Ugh!!! Why do some men find it necessary to yell at women? I've never witnessed a female (one that doesn't hang around street corners nightly) whistle and make cat calls at men. As one of my friends speculates, what relationship has ever developed from a man yelling the above lines? Further more, what do these men hope to accomplish by leering and jeering at passing fancies? Not that I'm so vain as to say that men fight for my attention whenever I walk by, but even one offense is too often. Well, I do have to admit that I find it very difficult not to jump into the arms of an obnoxious male pig after hearing these oh-so complimentary comments and scream, 'Take me!" Being that March is Women's History Month, I'm splurging by writing a feminist column. Oooo... I said it. Feminist. No, this political statement is not reserved for ttunch female activists holding signs that say, "Men are scum!" In my opinion, a feminist is any woman or ran who speaks out and recognizes the mistreatment of women. Three women have undergone unnecessary persecution this year because of a crime that they did not commit. No one knows what really happened to produce the trials of Clarence Thomas, William Kennedy Smith and Mike Tyson. Sexual offense trials cause turmoil because one never knows who to believe. These women had everything to lose and nothing to win by subjecting themselves to the eyes of the world. And regardless of what really happened, they should be commended for their courage to speak out. In just one year, three public figures and countless other men have been accused of some sort of sexual offense. Why are women finally speaking up? We're sick of it. We're sick of reading statistics that say: A woman is battered every 15 seconds. A rape ts committed every six minutes. Three to four million women in the United States are beaten in their homes each year by •heir husbands, ex-husbands or male lovers. Thirty-one percent of all female homicide victims in 1988 were killed by their husbands or toyfriends. Fifty-five percent of all female victims of domestic sexual abuse are children under the age of 11. Twenty-five percent of college women in one survey experienced rape or attempted rape. Of dtcse, 84 percent knew their attackers. But only 'Pwcent went to the police. One woman in four will be sexually assaulted m her lifetime. Fifty-three percent of battering husbands in ""e study also abused their children. Domestic violence is the single largest cause °f injury to women in the United States; 20 Fercent of emergency room visits by women are or injuries caused by battering.

' forsee these three famous trials as just the Sinning 0f an era of women that won't put up 1 these overzealous power trips.

They will be touring Boone, Blowing Rock and surrounding counties in search of story ideas.

Dean of Education retires By KRISTINE FORREST Appalachian Staff Writer Dr. Ben Strickland, who is currently Dean of the College of Education, will be retiring after30 years at Appalachian. Strickland first came to ASU in 1962, when Appalachian was strictly a teachers' college. He was here to witness the change in the university in 1967. After being appointed Dean of the College of Education, Strickland made several contributions to Appalachian. "I hop* that the leadership I've provided over the past nine years has benefited Appalachian," Strickland said. "With the cooperation of the fac­ ulty, we've reorganized the college and have been accredited by NCAE, which is one of the best." Strickland also traveled to Washington, D.C., to tell other colleges how to become organized and how to prepare for self-study. Appalachian's first doctoral program was insti­ tuted with the help of Strickland and other faculty "members. SCHOLARSHIP ESTABLISHED: The Benjamin Strickland Scholarship will be awarded Mutually to Strickland hop*s that Appalachian will continue an undergraduate student majoring in education, who is also an active member of the Appalachian chapter to improve its program in the future."I want to see of NCAE. Strickland (center) is pictured with Brooke Harrower and Brian Kirby. that Appalachian cares about its students," he said. " Time needs to be spjent looking at the quality of programs we offer. Sometimes we forget to look inward." Although looking forward to his retirement, Strickland will miss the people he works with as well as the time he sp*nds with Appalachian. "I usually adapt well to new situations," he said. "But I'll miss my daily routines here." After leaving his position at Appalachian, Strickland plans to spjend his time traveling. He also plans to pursue his hobby of quilting. He would like to become involved with his commu­ nity and is considering running for public office in the future. A scholarship has been set up in Strickland's name to commemorate the many years he has given to Appalachian. The scholarship was established by students from the North Carolina Association of Education unit Strickland has been a 30-year member of this organization. The scholarship will be given to students on a yearly basis. "I hop* the scholarship will help p*ople who need financial assistance," Strickland said. "Not everyone can be affluent." See DEAN page 4 Fraternity sponsors essay contest on KKK opinions Kappa Alpha Psi offers Watauga High School students a chance to express racial views By KATE HESS Appalachian Staff Writer Freedom is a word that comes to mind when one thinks of the United States. Here in this country we have freedom of spjeech, prress and various other rights. But, how far are these rights allowed to go? When p*ople are being adversely affected, should freedom of sp*ech still be allowed? This is a touchy topjic, esp*cially in instances such as sexual harassment and the ideas or actions of groups such as the Ku Klux Klan or similar hate group* There have been appearances of biblical group* around Appalachian's campus distributing small bibles and pamphlets, but what if other more notorious groups came and handed out fliers? Indi­ vidual students and professors would probably be surprised at first, but then they might wonder if this is just one of the basic rights of American citizens. These topics werebrought up recently at Watauga High School when the Brothers of the Mu Upsilon Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi at Appalachian de­ cided to spjonsor an essay contest for the freshman class. The prize will be $100 for the best essay, which will be judged by a group of brothers from the fraternity in early April. The winner will be announced one Apnl evening in the student union's "Our House." The essay is for the freshman class only, suppos­ edly to get younger students more involved in their community. The deadline is April5, and each essay must be between 500 and 1,000 words. The win­ ning student will receive a plaque along with the $100 prize when the essays have all been read and the brothers have voted on the winner. The essay's controversial topjic is the following: "Should the United States allow alleged hate group* such as the Skinheads and the Ku Klux Klan the right to march? Why or why not?What effect could die Ku Klux Klan march through Blowing Rode have on the Watauga community?"The brothers of the fraternity believe the purpose of this essay topic is to encourage young students to take an active interest in social issues within their community. The brothers thought that a media event such as the Ku Klux Klan march was a good opportunity to give high school students a chance to express their opinions about an issue that could have a great affect on their community. This essay might also help make these freshmen get interested in the events around the world and, therefore, pay more attention to the news and political affairs, such as die upjeoming election. The Ku Klux Klan march brings up various topics centering around the freedom that Ameri­ cans are granted. These topics are ones that every­ one, not just the Watauga High School freshmen, should consider.It is a touchy issue, because noone wants their rights infringed upjon, yet no one wants to be verbally abused because of their race or the ideas they express. In a country such as the United States, where freedom is of incredible importance, pjeople, both young and old, need to express their cpinions about topics such as these. By spionsoring this essay, the brothers of Kappa Alpjha Psi fraternity, along with the students and die administration at Watauga High School, are giving everyone an opportunity to ponder and discuss recent controversial issues. This is a way for the freshmen at the high school to express their opinions and feel as if pjeople are really listening. �Ih£ Appalachian Twtdgy Myth 24 7007 Cash for Coll •te majoring in education and must be an •cave member in NCAE.

By SHEA GRIFFIN Appalachian Sports Editor After his team won the Southern Conference Tournament Championship on March 8, ETSU Head Coach Alan LeForce made a prediction took seriously. "We're going to win a game or two in the f)CAA Tournament," LeForce proclaimed. Few reporters in the Asheville Civic Center press room that night, even the diehards from Johnson City, took LeForce's remarks seriously. He was just caught up in the moment of having won his second SC championship. There was no dance the Bucs, embarking on their fourth straight NCAA appearance, could come away with that elusive win. Right? Wrong. ETSU did themselves, and the Southern Conference, proud last weekend. The tiny school from the underrated conference sent ihockwaves through the college basketball world by downing powerful Arizona 87-80 last Friday in the Southeast region in Atlanta. few That's Arizona from the Pac-10, generally regarded as one of the nation's top conferences. That's Arizona, the third-seed in the region. That's Arizona, a team ranked among the nation's top 10 year-in and year-out. And East Tennessee State, the Southeast's No. Hseed, gave the Wildcats the beating of their ftand put the SC on the center stage of the JttA dance. Chances are if you had asked the Arizona players before the tournament what conference I* Bucs competed in, they would have been Humped. Hist Tennessee State made certain the Wildcats will never forget. In fact, the Buccattera let the world know—the Southern inference is for real. Prior to the Bucs victory over Arizona, the Bt Southern Conference team to score a ktory in the NCAA Tournament was TennesBe-Chattanooga back in 1982.

"Webeatalotof really good teams," ASU Head Coach Paul Mance said. "Since I've been coach­ ing, this is the highest we've finished. With a couple of breaks, we could have finished even higher. "We wanted to make the Top 20. That was our goal from the beginning of the season," Mance continued. "All of our guys wrestled well. They wrestled hard and gave a good, honest effort. Everybody did a good job. There are schools all over the country that know about Appalachian State University that didn't before." One hundred eighteen-pound grappler Donnell Rawls, who entered the tourney undefeated, won his first three matches and advanced to the semifi­ nals. Rawls opened the tourney by scoring a 13-7 victory over David Land of the Universityof Mary­ land. He followed that with a 9-2 win over Eastern Michigan's Terry Venturini. Rawls' third victory came over Eric Akins of Iowa State, who was ranked fourth in the nation in the 118-pound class. Rawls took control of the quarterfinal match and scored a 15-5 win. "That win impressed a lot of people and got Donnell some good publicity," Mance said. "Ev­ erybody was going around asking 'Who is that guy?'" In the semifinals, Rawls faced the country's toprated 118-pound matman, PennState's JeffPrescott. Prescott, the defending nationalchampion, downed Rawls 13-6 to advance to the finals. "Halfway through the match, the score was tied 4-4," Mance said. "Donnell made a couple of mistakes, and Prescott scored some good points. We were really pleased with Donnell getting that far." Rawls then downed Clarion's Eric Burnett, set­ ting up a rematch with Akins for third place. Rawls suffered a 5-1 defeat, but still finished fourth in the nation. For his performance, Rawls was named AllAmerican. "It's great having that caliber of wrestler here at ASU,"Mance said. "He'll be in the top two or three in the country right off the bat next year." Adrian Hines, ASU's 150-pound participant, opened things up by doubling up Oklahoma State's Jody Wilson 10-5. Hines lost to Nels Nelson, the No. 7 seed from Boise State, in the second round by a 7-5 count. 'That kid wasreally tough,"Mance said."Adrian wrestled really well." Hines was then eliminated from the tournament when he lost 15-2 to Cleveland State's Monty Ohi in the wrestleback. "Adrian never got mentally into the match," Mance said. "He was mentally down from losing in the round of 16. "We'rereally proudof Adrian. He's a three-time conference champion. He's done an awful lot for ASU wrestling. He's a great wrestler."

NOELLE WILCOX Ad Production Manager TUESDAY, March 24, 1992 TRACY WILLIA RD Asst. News Editor Professor's job requires time WILL ROTHSCHILD As*. Sports Editor One of the more incredibly vapid ideas to come out of our state government lately has the potential to have far reaching and possibly devastating effects on all students in the North Carolina system. Stale Auditor Ed Renfrew's £>e X office recently completed an audit requiring 900 hours and interviewing 250 faculty at four state universities. As a result of this audit, he has called for university faculty to somehow account for the number of hours they spend at their jobs. Apparently, some abuses have been made by faculty (the audit found one person who took off sick leave to work another job), but to place a requirement like this on faculty (who are already burdened with such bureaucratic Hie endless clutter of campaign posters, platforms and campaigning SGA exercises as productivity reports) is simply absurd. , [tsident/vice presidential candidates will soon disappear. The speeches and To begin with, how do you define when faculty mem­ bers are or are not doing something related to their i wsentations will culminate with the SGA elections, on March 24 and 25. The Appalachian supports Gurley i pe and Duncan for SG j Following a close evaluation of all the candidates' platforms, The AppalaJiian endorses the Dan Gurley-Doug Duncan ticket forSGA president and vice resident. Hie Gurley-Duncan platform is specific and more defined than that of revious platforms which tended to be vague, thus making it easier for the (fleers to accomplish their broadly defined objectives. The Gurley-Duncan ilatform addresses specific areas which need to be addressed on campus and S pecific ways in which they can be accomplished. Perhaps the most impressive part of the Gurley-Duncan ticket is the primary tsearch done by the candidates with respect to their quite ambitious platform. he Gurley-Duncan ticket contacted the appropriate administrators to deterthe feasibility of their platform objectives. "Acceptable" excuses in the such asimpossible objectives, have allowed candidates the leeway toduck tr platform goals. The amount of research by Gurley and Duncan should e that Appalachian students will get a team willing to work toward ic and attainable goals. A major problem faced by Senate this year is a lack of student involvement. I Astudent development survey, which found that 74 percent of students never lilted with their senator, has intensified pressure on Senate, which claims to be "mouthpiece" of the students. Gurley and Duncan propose public forums fiich would allow them to talk face-to-face with the students, as well as Bending RSA meetings. While these forums have been attempted before asuccessfully, with proper planning and leadership these forums could be a al mouthpiece for the students. Their platform also has other aimed attempts [increasing awareness, which should encourage additional student involveent. Hie Gurley-Duncan platform seems to impact every Appalachian student, rossing the boundaries of diversity. Issues such as safety, academics and the ivironment seem to receive top priority from the ticket. Again, each area has utlined specifics on the means in which to accomplish these goals. Hiere are certain areas of the platform which seem frivolous or unnecessary sch as the traffic officer at Walker Hall during class changes, "Dead Week" olicy, telephone registration system, support facility at State Farm, painting niversity buses, formation of "University Traditions Taskforce" and the istribution of a T-shirt to incoming freshmen and transfer students. In a time of economic hardship which has seen various departments expen­ ding cuts to their budgets, it is hard to justify free T-shirts on the argument f increasing university pride. The bookstore is there for that purpose, so any indent who wishes to exhibit their university pride, can buy whatever type of Appalachian memorabilia they choose. There again, the university's need for funding is so overwhelming that minor Nails such as these can be overlooked, to be reexamined when faced with a i°re promising financial situation. Students who vote in the SGA elections, which have a notoriously low •tnout, should keep in mind that they are voting for their future representation. that opportunity to vote, instead of complaining about the current system. V only way to make a change is to cast a ballot. Otherwise, you lose your '0nce to complain. j** THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON How vampires have accidents. positions as university profeasors? For most professors, being an academic is their life (or at least a big part of it). How do you break this down aid account for it how by hour? Being an academic isn't like building cars. You don't just come in and work your shift and then go home. Some things are pretty easy to keep track of, like time in the the classroom and office hours, but what about time spent guiding or otherwise counseling students?This sort of thing takes effort and skill, and it most certainly is not simply a matter of the amount of time spent. Some weeks a professor may have 20 people come by his or her office, and other weeks there won't be anybody. Thai there is the issue of the time spent in research, catching up, writing and all of the other activities that go with being an academic. Contrary to popular belief, edu­ cation is a lifelong process for everybody, especially for people in academia. At the rate that most fields are progressing today, if you do not make a fairly concerted effort to keep up, you will soon only be able to talk about the "good old days." Not only do people at universities dispense knowledge, but a large number of them add to the knowledge base of their particular discipline. This has been true since the time of the Greeks, and it is just as true today. Most breakthroughs or major shifts in perspective about some­ thing come about as the result of the efforts of many people adding their bits to the knowledge base. Without this sort of effort, our educational system and learning as we know it would be plunged into the abyss. I suppose that research and "keeping up" seem like fairly leisurely pursuitsrelative to things that other people do for a living, but most other people would come out of their trees if they were asked to do the sort of work for the pay that the typical faculty member receives. In most business offices, when 5 pjn. rolls around, you may go home and do whatever you want until time to report in the next morning. This does not require dial you extensively plan what you will do tomorrow, including finding sources, grading papers and preparing lectures. I wonder how many people who believe that teachers and professors have it so easy have ever taught classes and really under­ stand what it involves. How many of these people are willing to make the sorts of sacrifices that are necessary to become professors? Graduate school is quite unlike your first four or five or whatever years in college. Classes require an extensive amount of outside work. You have to spend a lot of time figuring out, researching and writing a thesis. Gradu­ ate assistants hips aren't the worst deal in town as far as jobs go, but they pay just enough to get by (with a little help from a student loan). There isn't much time for other activities, like relationships, let alone starting fami­ lies. I'm not out to stir up sympathy for the plight of the academic. I like being a graduatestudent, and I'm willing to live with the choices I have made. I am trying to point out that the vast majority of faculty are hardworking and dedicated individuals who love what they do and wouldn't be where they are today if they were not. They need the room in which to do what they do best, which is preserv­ ing, transmitting and creating knowledge, not shuffling papers and monitoring themselves. Note: Inpreparing this article, I am indebted tothe late Frank Terrant, Jr., who woke me up to all of these things. Rayle is a graduate student in psychology. Students should tolerate greek housing By CHRIS PARRISH Appalachian Staff Writer This is a very controversial topic as denoted in a specific letter to the editor and a column.This is the sort of response to that letter and column but is more informative. Social fraternities and sororities consist of approximately 10 percent of this campus. Whether you like it or not, that is a great deal of students, not in­ cluding other greek letter organizations, such as business fraternities or honor so­ cieties. Also, the social greek system is grow­ ing every year at this university. Those individuals who grew up in a college town or transferred here can understand that the greek system at other schools is mammoth, much larger than it ishere, and they pay for it dearly. The greeks on this campus inhabit ap­ proximately 10 floors on campus, with two people to a room and 22 rooms per floor, at $600 per student pa semester (not including a meal plan). This equates to $264,000 per semester contributed by greeks for just rooms and not including greeks who live on other parts of campus. My point is in response to allegations of greek priority—well, itmay besuitable in some circumstances. The university, whether you think so or not, is a business, manufacturing educa­ tion, and they ultimately want to see a return on their investment The university has troubleenough filling all their rooms— yes, they do—they have many no shows etery semester. I do not think that kicking greeks off campus or limiting their exist­ ing "housing" is the solution to the pos­ sible (improbable) issueof incoming fresh­ men not getting room assignments. I be­ lieve there is some higher cause. Supposedly, there is land put aside for greek housing behind Broyhill Inn. This topic, however, will not be a priority until about 1994. Say for example, there should be greek housing available to those orga­ nizations who can afford it; the cost of a house would be at least in the S300,000s. For thegreeks on this campus whose dues per semester averageabout $200, this just does not cut it.Say also, that certain greek organizations can get a loan from their nationals or on their own, I would esti­ mate that dues per semester would jump up to anywhere between $700-$1,000.1, personally, think that off-campus greek housing at this school and at this point in time, would hurt the greek system. Some of you may care, others not, but my point is this; I encourage people to be more open-minded about this issue. The greek system is here. Whether it suits you or not, it is powerful, and it is growing. I think that greeks like to live amongst themselves for the same reason that any­ one else lives with their cronies: because they like to, and that is about it. It is not because any insecure need to fit in, or because, as some people say bluntly, "to buy your friends." I would hope that no one, greek or not, would live with somej one that they do not get along with or d<5 not like. It is absurd. Greeks really do many projects for this campus, this community, other commui nities and their individual philanthropies, more so than you think. I think people orj this campus should be more tolerant of each other. ! Readers respond to greek housing issue; Greeks have right to live together To the Editor: In a recent commentary article entitled "Greeks do not need more housing," there is incorrect information and unfounded reasoning. The article states that if the request to make Cone all greek "is granted, it is possible that entering freshmen at Appalachian will no longa be guaranteed housing." This is a ridiculous suggestion. The administration is well aware of the importance of freshmen living on campus and would always make space available for them. The article makes it sound like it is either the freshmen or the greeks, and that is not the case. The article states 'T think I can assume I'm not being stereotypical when I say if anyone on campus can afford an apartment, a student in a greek organization can." The writer of the article, Tracy Tarleton used as reasoning, if the greeks had money for $200-$300 dues and fees per semester, they had money for an apartment. First, I pay less than $200 a semester in dues. Secondly, I know greeks who are putting themselves through school and are not rolling in money like the article seemed to imply. Lastly, I know plenty of non-greeks who spend at least as much as I dc on dues on entertain­ ment and leisure activities. I do not think it is anyone else's business what I choose to spend my money on or what I can or cannot afford. Greeks are fortunate on this campus to have affordable dues. If students here had to pay high dues and fees like at other schools, a lot of students would not be able to afford to be in a greek organization. Greeks want to live together in order to foster spirit of community and establish stronger bonds. I have known non-greeks to informally do this by all living on the same floor again or moving into Winkler together. Therefore, it is natural for greeks to want to live with their brothers OT sisters. It is a tradition on most campuses for greeks to have a greek community. This is a rich tradition that should not be discarded. Greeks have contributed a lot to the university while here and give more proportionally than non-greeks as alumni. Greeks make a commitmoit to the university and in return the university makes one to them. Carmen K. Cox Alpha Phi ASU Box 13824 Workshop on racism to be held Sunday To the Editor: Many of us are appalled by the thought of Klan marches anywhere, let alone in Boone and Blowing Rock. Few of us, however, have been able to grow up totally uncontaminated by the racism in American society. Early experiences with racist thinking and conscious or unconscious racist actions have often left us feeling isolated from people of color and feeling powerless to change what we know is wrong. In spite of that background, with active effort we can think clearly about all aspects of this philosophy as the greeks: drink a lot of issue, and we can make a difference beer; get rowdy, then pass out. now and in the future.

The election will decide the president md vice president for the 1992-93 aca­ demic year. Off-campus students can vote at piemmons Student Union from 9 a.m. to 4 pm. Wednesday, March 25, and 10 im. to 3 p.m. Thursday, March 26. Students living on-campus can vote in their residence hall on March 26 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Following the disqualification of the Mike Miller-Dwayne Washington and the Frank Cantrell-Christina Miller tickets on March 3, students have three tickets. According toSGA Chief of Staff Randy Yelton, the tickets were disqualified be­ cause they did not meet the election re­ quirements. However, Yelton declined to comment which requirements went unmet The remaining candidates are Chip Baggett-Terie McHale, DanGurley-Doug Duncan and Cameron Roberts-Danny Bozart. The candidate's platforms are fea­ tured on page 3. •Chip Baggett/Terie McHale Baggea is currently the student judi­ cial affairs student conduct advocate. He was previously a court justice and a mem­ ber of Delta Chi Fraternity. McHale is SGA Public Affairs Chair­ person, which coordinates Homecoming activities, among other duties. Last year, she was a senator representing Newland Residence Hall and publicity manager for the Ghent/Murphy campaign. The Baggett-McHale platform calls for the creation of a student leader cabinet to allow student involvement in faculty se­ lection and the improvement of ASU's recycling program. Their campaign slo­ gan is "The student, the government. . . the same." Baggett said he believes expansion of library resources is a major issue in the campaign. "We want to push even further to expand the resources," Baggett said. "We want to work for the students," Baggett said. "We have nothing to gain; we're art majors who love SGA. We're looking for a lot of input from students." An issue featured on last year's presi­ dent/vice presidental platform of Daryl Ghent and Reggie Murphy's was the need for student input in the university faculty search committees. "We don't want the administration choosing who is teaching us," Baggett said. McHale said she wants to see some of the work of the Ghent/Murphy cam­ paign continue, such as their idea to seat students on faculty search committees. Baggett-McHale advocate the need for more recycling on campus. Students are often discouraged from recycling, McHale said, relating an instance when a student observed an aluminum recycling barrel being emptied into the dumpster. McHale said she would work with the community to coordinate a communitywide recycling effort Baggett calls for no structural changes to SGA, but said he hopes to improve the application process for the executive and legislative branches. According to Ayers, in the spring of "0, the faculty-senate voted almost 2 to 't0 0PPose the construction of the SAC. Ayers said that in the spring of 1991, they v°ted unanimously against taking any By JOANNA EMMONS Appalachian Staff Writer money from student fees for the SAC. "Already, ASU has taken $1 million from student fees for the SAC, which may never be builO' said Ayers. "ASU needs many other things worse than it needs the SAC," said Ayers. "We could ask for the money to be applied to improve the library instead of building the proposed gymnasium." Ward Zimmerman, ASU vice chancel­ lor for business affairs, said the SAC and the administration building have already been approved by the state governing body. Zimmerman said both of these projects have been delayed along with other university projects. "These two state-funded projects (the SAC and theadministration building)were going along one step after another," said Zimmerman. "The state incurreddramatic shortfalls in revenue and delayed and then postponed all capital projects at the university level. I do not believe any politics were involved in delay ing or post­ poning the projects." The Journal reported that the universi­ ties and their alumni will lobby for the bill's revival before the General Assem­ bly meets in May. Cindy Poe, the president of the Council of University Alumni and a graduate of Appalachian, said that the council is wait­ ing to pour support behind any reasonable bond package because so many universi­ ties need major improvements, the Jour­ nal reported. Zimmerman said ASU is happy to support the bond in its entirety."I wouldn 't say that ASU has more than its fair share on the list. I wish ASU had more projects on the list," said Zimmerman. If the legislators decide to allow voters to vote on the bond, and if the bond is passed in November, the construction of the Student Activity Center and the ad­ ministration building will start immedi­ ately, according to Zimmerman. The proposed administration building will be located on Rivers Street and will consolidate several campus administra­ tive offices, including residence life, the registrar's office, and financial aid of­ fices. At least 90 percent of the buildings at ASU are named for men and women who helped in its founding and growth, ac­ cording to Dr. James Strom, vice chancel­ lor for university advancement. However, some of the remaining build­ ings, which are named after families who have donated money towards the advance­ ment of the university, include the Walker, Broyhill and Cannon families. "The naming of buildings after fami­ lies who have contributed a great deal of money to the university is to show appre­ ciation for their support," said Strom. More recently, there was controversy considering the change of the Carol G. Belk Library name to honor late Head University Librarian, Richard Barker, according to Beade Mitchell, acting codirector of the library, who helped peti­ tion for the name change. Barker died Dec. 16 from injuries he sustained in a Dec. 4 head-on three car collision on U.S. 421 East. Barker worked and helped to develop the Belk Library since 1956, becoming library director during the 1970's. Ac­ cording to Mitchell, the only problem with changing the library's name is that Carol Belk, whom the library is named after, is still living. The library staff is now looking into naming a reading room after Barker, Mitchell said. The only name of a facility that was changed to another is Kidd Brewer Sta­ dium, according to Strom.

SAC and administration building are on list A bill still on the table in the N.C. Senate calls for $18 million to be bor­ rowed for the construction of Appala­ chian State University's Student Activity Center and an administration building. The bill calls for $287 million to be tawed for 29 projects at the University ofNorth Carolina system's 16 schools. The system is signaling that it is willing lobe flexible about specific projects out­ lined in the construction-bond packagein order to attract state legislators, the Win­ ston-Salem Journal reported in a Feb. 14 article. The Journal reported that Jay M. Robinson, the system's vice president said that the main thing is to include something for each of the state's 16 cam­ puses to make the package appeal to vot­ ers in November. Robinson said that controversial projects or those that fall out of legisla­ te favor could be taken off the list, according to the Journal. ASU's proposedStudent ActivityCen­ to is an example. The cost of the SAC is estimated at $24 million. The bill calls for JR3 million to be borrowed for the SAC. Student fees and donations are planned to fake up the $14.5 million difference. Some Appalachian professors and stu­ dents have expressed opposition to the activity center. The Journal reported that •be opponents of the project contend the university has academic needs that are fore important, and the SAC would dis­ place several acres of forested hillside now used for environmental studies. HarvardG. Ayers,an Appalachian pro­ fessor and an opponent of the project, said •bai if ASU makes a big push for this, 'acuity and students will begin heavy "PPosition demonstrations because the C is so unrepresentative to university opinion. •Dan Gurley/Doug Duncan Gurley is SGA Director of State Af­ fairs, an off-campus senator, the delega­ tion leader to the UNC Association of Where does ASU seeks $18 million By TRACY WILUARD Assistant News Editor "I want to see a lot of changes in cabi­ net," McHale said."We want people who don't know each other, who will work together." Another Baggett-McHale goal is to build a clubhouse at State Farm field complete with bathroom and storage fa­ cilities. "We want to do all these things but at no additional cost to the student," McHale said. Stephanie Lineberry, whowas in charge of submitting the winning essay, added that "This just reiterates what we have believed for a long time—-that we have a top-notch program that does a lot for Appalachian." Special recognition should also go to the ASU Senior Committee, which is a sister organization to Ambassadors and was included in the judging, said Tracey Ford, assistant director of Alumni Af­ fairs, who serves as advisor to the student organization. "Even though the plaque will read 'ASU Ambassadors,' the Senior Committee is also a part of the SAA/SF, and its fundraising efforts were a key to us winning the award," said Ford. Appalachian Ambassadors are a group of 35 students who are dedicated to pro­ moting Appalachian, and do so by serv­ ing as a link between the university's alumni, friends, faculty, staff, student body and prospective students. Ambassador activities include provid­ ing daily campus tours to prospective students, hosting various alumni events, attending alumni rallies across the state, sponsoring on-campus program­ ming events such as Oozeball and Founders Day, various community ser­ vice projects, and serving as student rep­ resentatives of the university whenever called upon. The members of Ambassadors are cho­ sen based on communication skills, dedi­ cation to Appalachian and the organiza­ tion, and the ability to represent the uni­ versity and share his/her enthusiasm for Appalachian with others. Applications are currently being ac­ cepted for positions for the 1992-93 school year, and may be picked up in the Piemmons Student Union, or on the third floor of Founders Hall, during the week of March 16-20. Applications are due no later than Friday, March 20 at 5 p.m. The stadium, which was once called Conrad Stadium, was renamed because Conrad was not an athlete, Strom said. The decision was then made to transfer Conrad's name to the computer center, which is now Conrad Computer Center. Kidd Brewer's name was selected for the stadium due to his outstanding achieve­ ments as an ASU football coach, accord­ ing to Strom. The first buildings that were given names were mainly connected to the founders of the university and people who helped in the advancement of Appa­ lachian, said Robert Snead, executive as­ sistant to the chancellor. The Broyhill family has donated more than $1 million over a period of time to Appalachian. Both Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Broyhill attended Appalachian around 1915. They are the founders of Broyhill Furniture Industries. Many of the faculty have had buildings dedicated to them over the course of time, Strom said. Some of these faculty are A.R. Smith, J.T.C. Wright (Smith-Wright building), Robert Broome and John Kirk (Broome-Kirk gymnasium). State senators have also been recog­ nized for their help in the miking of Appalachian. White Hall, Justice Hall and Sanford Hall are all named after stale senators who have worked towards the betterment of Appalachian, Strom said.

Their campaign js "Leadership for the building a better Appalachian.' »->j 1 Among some of the platform goals are: cancellation of afternoon classes the day before recognized school holidays and breaks, implementation of a"Dead Week" policy, requiring student representation on faculty and administrative search com­ mittees, and the construction of a support facility at State Farm Field. Our platform has been thoroughly re­ searched," Gurley said."Doug and I have spent countless hours talking with fxulty and adminstrators to be assured that our goals are realistic and can be achieved at minimal cost. We felt we needed specific ideas forour platform. They arenot vague, ambiguous generalities like platforms of the past." Gurley said he will seek to enhance student involvement in SGA. "Seventyfour percent of studentshave never worked with their senator or don't even know who their senator is,"Gurley said. "There needs to be broader communication be­ tween the student government and the student body." Other goals, aimed at broader commu­ nication, are to hold regular public fo­ rums, open to all students, to allow them to talk with the SGA president and vice president; to publish a weekly column in The Appalachian; and to attend at least one RSA meeting per residence hall per semester. The Gurley-Duncan ticket also advo­ cates a"Dead Week"policy which would prohibit professors from administering exams the week of classes before final exams. There would also be no social activities alio wed on campus for that week. Gurley and Duncan also hope to build on the Gheni/Murphy proposal to estab­ lish student representation on faculty search committees."This isan area which is lacking. We should have a voice in who is teaching us," Gurley said. The structure of SGA could also be changed to allow a redefinition of posi­ tions and committees, said Gurley.

"SGA should not react to situations, they should create situations," he said. •Cameron Roberts/Danny Bozart Roberts, a junior, was high school stu­ dent body president. He is a secondary education history major. Bozart is a junior psychology major. The Roberts-Bozart platform seeks to acquire more residence halls, liquor-bythe-drink, to allow private restauraunts access to sell their products on campus, a parking deck and to protest the building of the Student Activities Center. Their campaign theme is "Help us put the stu­ dent back in the Student Government Association." ASU students don't need the SAC be­ cause so few students frequent current activities at Varsity Gym, such as basket­ ball, said Roberts. "We need more academic buildings, housing, more library resources and com­ puter labs. What are we here for? Aca­ demics? Or for everyone to walk in gowns down an aisle?" Roberts questioned. While Roberts wants additional park­ ing for ASU, he said he wants to protect the environment. "We don't need to go the way of L.A., building out," he said. "We need more parking spaces but we need to build up." Roberts said he hopes to encourage the building of a parking deck. Another problem caused by the park­ ing situation is unfair fines and tickets, Roberts said. "They want to rip us off on tickets. We need better parking," he said. Roberts also said there is a need to change the existing pet policy in resi­ dence halls to allow larger fish tanks and mice and hamsters. "Pets help relieve stress," he said, adding that biology stu­ dents could learn from larger aquariums. "I will do what I say and mean what I say. I believe in student's rights," Roberts said. "These rights have declined over the past 10 years. We don't have a say." The Roberts-Bozart platform alsoseeks to allow private restaurants to compete with ASU food services by making the meal card a payment option at off-cam­ pus facilities. "I have been a waiter and I know how much stuff costs," Roberts said."They're (food services) making a killing. They don't care if we go hungry, they just want to make a profit." Students complain but don't vote (CPS)—A survey shows that collegeage voters are the least likely to vote, but have the highest expectations of govern­ ment Gregory Markus. a political science professor at the University of Michigan and a research scientist at the school's Institute for Social Research, bases that finding on a 1990 study the institute con­ ducted on U.S. political attitudes. The 1990 National Election Studies, one of the most comprehensive surveys on political beliefs in the country, noted that only 44 percentof people age 18to24 were registered to vote, and fewer than one in five reported voting in the Novem­ ber 1990 elections. Only one in eight reported following news about government and public af­ fairs "very closely"and 45 percent of 18to 24-year-olds said they "never" discuss politics with friends or family. "Many of them regard themselves solely as the clientele of government, unencumbered by any 'romantic' notions such as civic duty or societal obligation," Markus concluded. "In their conception of citizen as 'customer,' citizenship com­ prises obeying laws and paying taxes, period. In return, government provides services demanded by the 'customer.' " When compared to their older counter­ parts, the study showed that one in three Americans over the age of 34 follow government and publicaffairs very closely and that 79 percent of the same age group are registered to vote. Markus concluded that, "Older citi­ zens vote, while young ones, for the most part, do not The results are predictable. Two of the largest items in the national budget—Social Security and Medicare— are programs whose primary beneficia­ ries are the elderly." He adds, 'To be sure, there is no guar­ antee that if young Americans start voting in greater numbers governmental priori­ ties would change overnight. It is a virtual certainty, however, that unless the young take a more active role in determining who gets what, they will only get what's Wt" fr Save the Rainforests . ~ •• (fraud Opening The Market at Tr/'vette Hall March 23 thru March 29 Register to win doorprizes Drawings held daily $ Cash in on onr grand opening specials $ Product Samplings SERVICES Doorprizes — Sony AM-FM Digital Clock Radio — 48 qt.

March 19. 1992 hree-ring circus comes to Farthing Auditorium lorriegantt laJachian Staff Writer Whik Farthing Auditorium may not be l„ge enough to house the Barnum and jjjley Circus, the musical production of -gjrnum" will he performed on March 1411 Appalachian State University. And jiough i[ maynot ^ the circus itself, the tftformance features acrobats, fire eat^ trapeze artisLs and everybody's fa­ vorite the clowns. The performance begins at 8 p.m. in Farthing Auditorium and is made pos­ sible by the Office of Cultural Affairs' Major Performing Arts Series. Barnum" not only portrays the fun and excitement of "TheGreatest Show on Earth, the musical also tells the story of how it came to be through P.T. Bamum himself. Those who see the show will have the opportunity to become acquainted with this extraordinary man and to under­ stand why he thought entertainment was so imnnrtant. P.T. believed that everyone, no matter how common or simple, deserved the pleasure of wholesome amusement. Al­ though many of the acts that brought htm fame beforethe circus proved to be hoaxes, it was all in fun. "This is a trading world." he once wrote, "and men. women and children, whocannotlive on gravity alone, need something to satisfy their gaver. lighter moods and hours." P.T. Barnum was not always a circus showman. As a matter of fact, he did not become one until he passed the age of 60. Before the days of the Barnum and Bailey Circus. P.T. was a man of many faces He was a grocery store clerk, a lottery office conductor, the founder of the Her­ ald of Freedom newspaper, and a bit of a politician He married twice and had four daughters to his first wife, who died after 44 years of marriage. Aside from his newspaper, however. P.T. Bamum. was not very well known until he entered show business. It. 1842. at the age of 32. he bought the American Museum in New York City. During the 26 years that he filled the museum with freak shows, dramatic theatricals and beauty contests, he cre­ ated quite a stir and made a name for himself. After he moved on to the circus. P.T. Barnum.'s career really began to shine. P.T. Bamum was a colorful man. When he became ill at the age of 81. he asked a New Yorknewspaperiopublishhisobituary early so that he too could read and enjoy it. The newspaper did as he asked and two weeks later. P.T. died. Because of P.T. Bamum. children of all ages have a memorable and whole­ some form of entertainment. The Times of London could not have known how true their final tribute to him was when they printed this of P.T. Bamum: "He created the metier of showman on a grandiose scale.... He early realized that essential feature of a modem demo­ cracy, its readiness to be led to what will amuse and instruct it.... His name is a proverb already, and a proverb it will continue " ii Chinese Emperor takes stage Bv LORRIE GANTT Appalachian Staff Writer Pec tPPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY'S YOUNG PEOPLE'S THEATER PRESENT "NIGHTINGALE:" The play, idapted from a Hans Christian Anderson story, is about a Chinese emperor who thinks happiness depends on material possessions. Cist members include (clockwise from top left) Darrell King. Snapper Morgan and Kelly Doherty. The I. G. Greer Arena Theatre will host the Appalachian State University's Young People's Theatre as they perform "Nightingale" March 19-21. The adaptation of Hans Christian Anderson's classic story is presented in conjunction with the Department of The­ atre and Dance. Performances begin at 7 p.m. Thurs­ day and Friday with a 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday. The award-winning "Nightingale" takes place in China. It's the tale of a Chinese Emperor who thinks his happi­ ness depends on all that he owns. Never satisfied, the emperor always wants more. His servant tries desperately to make him happy, even calling on the audience to help provide music for him thinking that perhaps music will soothe the soul of the master. Through the intervention of two Chi­ nese gods, the emperor loses al! of his material possessions. The gods also con­ veniently arrange for the servant to encounter a nightingale. The servant introduces the plain-look­ ing bird to his master, and through the song of the nightingale, an encounter with death, and help from the audience, the emperor learns he will never be happy until he has discovered the greatest trea­ sure in all China, the song in his own heart. This classic presentation is suitable for everyone and features authentic Chinesestyle costumes, makeup, dance and mu­ sic. There are six members of the cast in "Nightingale." Darrell King of Lincolnton is cast in the role of the emperor. Snapper Morgan of Charlotte plays the emperor's servant The nightingale and one of the Chinese gods are portrayed by Kelly Doherty of Raleigh. The other Chinese god as well as the role of death arc portrayed by Janet Trubey of Orlando. Fl. Georgia M. Sawyer of West Jefferson is the musician, and Andrew Lakin of High Point is the stage manager. The production of "Nightingale" will begin a seven-week tour of the show for the Young People's Theatre. "It's very rigorous, and it's not for everyone." said director Teresa Lee of the touring schedule for the company . The Young People's Theatre takes the theatrical performances to regional el­ ementary schools each vear. This year's production of "Nightin­ gale" marks the 20th anniversary for the program. Founded during the 1971-72 academic year, the Young People's Theatre has presented hundreds of performances to students throughout Western North Carolina. For instance, "Nightingale" will be seen by about 5,000 students in Ashe, Watauga, Catawba. Alexander, Henderson and Buncombe counties. Students in a production and perfor­ mance class are responsible for almost every aspect of the production. "They have to do everything," Lee said. "They make the sets and costumes, rehearse theplay, and takecare of makeup and props." In addition to acting, students also pack, transport and set up the play while on tour. Lee said. "When someone asks 'Why do this?" I respond 'You do it for the kids.' " Everyone is encouraged to see the pro­ duction. not only for the exceptional en­ tertainment and the inspiration of"Night­ ingale," but to support the Department of Theatre and Dance.

Vocalist John Popper said. "It got to the point where the law knew where we were going to play ir. Princeton before we plaved. They 'd hear us warming up and show up at the gig and bust all the underage kids." Renaming themselves"Blues Traveler" (after Gozer theTravelei. the most memo­ rable demon in the film "Gnostbusters";. the band relocated in New York after Popper enrolled in the New School.They jammed at the Wonderland Blues Bar and Dan Lynch's. where they immediately found themselves at odds with purist musicians and audiences."I don't think it was ever really blues, even though we tried to play blues," Popper said. The band ultimately landed a house band gig al Wetlands, and still continued to play compulsively at other Manhattan clubs, averaging 20 gigs a month. Blues Traveler's burning energy and the manic devotion of their fans ultimately captured the attention of A&M Records' A&R personnel, and the band was signed in late 1989. Although the group has recorded two albums in two years, studio work hasn't slowed down Blues Traveler's schedule: the band played 230 shows in the last year, opening for The Allman Brothers, Santana. Jerry Garcia, the Neville Brothers, Little Feat, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Youssou N'Dour and Hot Tuna. As al­ ways, the emphasis in Blues Traveler's live performances is on inspired improvi­ sation: as Popper notes, "Really good jamming is like a conversation, You're not saying words, you're saying feel­ ings." people's attraction to power and their success ir. achieving it.

'Tne plav is about here worship " The setting of the drama is a tavern ir. western Ireland Tne plo: of Synge's 1907 play is based on fact. He wrote it after hearing of a mar., wnc after kill­ ing his fatner in a fit of angen was hioder. by villagers unti. he coulc sail for America In "Playooy of the Western World." Christy Manor,. Synge's "here," garners the admiration of those around him by Poasung about killing his fatner. As his tale becomes more incredulous.

The tavern-keeper's daughter Pegeer. idolizes Christy Manor, wno has mur­ dered a man and makes him into a super­ hero. "But when sne sees theviolence and reality of the deed," Pilkington said, "she becomes indignant and upset." As Mahon is flattered by those around him he becomes wnat the woric sees and begins to act the part. Only when he stops pretending does Mahon truly become a "playboy," or a mar. with power. "I have always liked this play and what it nac tc say." Pilkington said. "When I reread it, 1 saw the tragedy of our times People nave tne ability tc believe on a subleve! that we are what we re not. Tne play feeds on uiat, but its message is to be careful about what we believe about our­ selves and about others." Ir. order tc lend authenticity to the production. Pilkington has incorporated use of an Irish dialect.'Tne language is so pretty and beautiful." he said. "We use just enougn dialect to suggest the lilt of tne insr. brogue " Costumes for the performance wilt also boast an air of authenticity.

The Buccaneers, who captured their fourthconsecutive tournament title,scored ,77-69 victory over the Mountaineers in ihe semifinals of the tourney on March 7 in Asheville. The Bucs had defeated the Apps in the championship game of the previous two tournaments. ASU wound up the season with a 15-14 record. Appalachian led 33-32 at halftime and jailed just 42-40 in the second half, when what ASU Head Coach Tom Apke called the "crucial play of the game" transpired. ETSU senior forward Greg Dennis scored on a dunk to put the Bucs up46-40. As Dennis began to run up the court, he jot tangled up with ASU's Tim Powers, who appeared to swipe at Dennis' foot. Powers was whistled for the intentional foul, and Dennis sank both foul shots to give the Bucs a six-point lead. Rodney English then buried a short jumper from the right corner on the inbounds play to push the lead to eight. The six-point play ignited the Bucs, who then reeled off eight unanswered points to grab a 56-40 advantage with 11:37 to play. The lead grew to 20,63-43, at the 9:16 mark when Trazel Silvers banked in a layup. t The Mountaineers, sparked by the threepoint shooting of junior guard Billy Ross, then attempted a furious comeback. ASU went on an 11-1 burst to slice the lead to 64-54 with 6:42 remaining. Ross, playing like aman possessed, canned threestraight three-point shots in a one-minute stint during the comeback. Appalachian whittled the lead down to fivepoints, 66-61, when senior pointguard Rodney Peel converted a layup and a free throw at the 3:50 mark. The Bucs responded to the Apps' rally by running off seven straight points to take a 73-61 lead and dim any hopes the Mountaineers had of making their third straight championship appearance. Both Apke and ETSU Head Coach Alan LeForce agreed that fatigue on ASU s part had an effect on the game. ASU had played the 9:30game on Friday, and had little more than 12 hours to recu­ perate for the semifinals. I think the fatigue factor of playing two games within 24 hours caught up with us," Apke said."It wasn't the differ­ ence in the game, however." "I give those guys credit after playing the late game Friday,"LeForce said. "Over 40 minutes we felt like we would wear them down." Ross finished with 20points to lead the Apps. Peel scored 15 points and handed out five assists. Tony Thompson added 14, and Steve Spurlock scored nine and grabbed 10 rebounds. Dennis paced the Bucs with 23 points, while Calvin Talford tallied 13. Apps whip WCU in opening round The Mountaineers broke open a tight contest in the second half and rolled to an 86-69 win over Western Carolina in the first round. "We emphasized three things coming in to the tournament," Apke said. "We wanted to work hard on transition de­ fense, getting back to eliminate the fast break. We wanted to take advantage of our rebounding superiority. We also wanted to execute on offense. "In the first half, I think we were com­ peting so hard that we weren't patient," Apke continued. "We regrouped at the half and did all threeof those things really well in the second half." "They came out in the second half and took the fight to us," Western Head Coach Greg Blatt said. "We didn't respond to their challenge." Appalachian, which led 38-36 at inter­ mission, started the second half with an 18-7 streak to break out to a 58-43 lead. Western Carolina cut the deficit to 60-53 when Robert Gaines hit a running onehander at the 8:54 mark, but could get no closer. ASU outscored the Catamounts 26-16 over the final eight minutes to run away with the contest. Ross drilled in 23 points, including four-of-seven three-pointers, to top the Mountaineers. Spurlock recorded a double-double with 16 points and 15 re­ bounds, while senior forward Tim Pow­ ers also scored 16. Peel scored ninepoints, dished out six assists and did not commit a turnover in 29 minutes of action. Terry Boyd concluded his stellar twoyear stint at WCU with a 33-point show­ ing. Gaines was the only other Catamount to reach double figures, scoring 12.

Mountaineer grapplers finish second to Mocs in SC tourney tppefo B By SHEA GRIFFIN Appalachian Sports Editor The AppalachianState wrestling squad putup a tough fight in the Southern Con­ ference Tournament in Asheville on March 8, but the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga walked away with the championship. The Moccasins, who also captured the SCregular season title, finished with91.75 points. Appalachian came in right behind the Mocs, finishing second with a team total of 87 points. Virginia Military fin ished third with 62.5 points. The Citadel placed fifth with51 points, while Davidson rounded out the pack with four points. "We're definitely not pleased with fin­ ishing second," ASU Head Coach Paul Mance said. "Chattanooga was favored to win, but we thought we could win the tournament." The Mountaineers placed six grapplers in thechampionship round, andfour Apps captured titles. Emerging victorious for the Mountaineers were Donnell Rawls (118-pound weight class), Adrian Hines (150), Corey Creech (167) and Melvin Crosby (heavyweight). "We had six wrestlers in the finals, and we knew we had to win five," Mance said. "We won four of the five but lost the other one 3-2." Rawls picked up the first title for the Mountaineers by outpointing UTC's Ja­ son Laflin 6-1 in the 118-pound finals. Rawls, who won the Division II national championship last season at Winston-Sa­ lem State, improved his record to 29-0 with the win. Rawls entered the tourna­ ment ranked sixth in the country, while Laflin came in rated 12th. "Rawls did a great job. He dominated a very, very tough kid," Mance said. Hines pinned UTC's Mike Newman in just under five minutes for the 150-pound crown. Hines raised his record to 28-2 on the season. In the 167-pound category, Creech scored a tough 7-5 decision over Chattanooga's Brian Flint, the two-time defending Southern Conference cham­ pion. Creech improved to 24-5 on the season. Heavyweight Melvin Crosby captured Appalachian's final title of the night. Crosby, a mid-seasontransfer from Wilkes Community College, avenged his only loss of the season by downing The Cita­ dels' Sean Bagley 9-5. VMI's Brian Mason captured top hon­ ors in the 126-pound class. ASU's Brian McMillan finished third in the 126 class. Charlie Branch picked up the Keydets' second straight title by winning the 134pound category. Tennessee-Chattanooga then notched back-to-back victories, as Guy Harris emerged as the 142-pound champ and Howard Langford took the title in the 158-pound class. Mountaineer grapplers Victor Balmaceda and Bill Baker finished third in the 142 and 158- pound classes, respec­ tively. UTC's Bret Gustafson, ranked fourth in the nation, pinned ASU's Shomari Rozier in the 177-pound class, while Moc WaiTen Osbourn nipped Mountaineer Chris Sanders 3-2 at 190.

East Tennessee has lost in the first round of the NCAA's in each of the last three "I think we'll win a game or two in the NCAA tournament and, who knows, maybe more," LeForce said after the championship-clinching victory. LeForce's prediction came before the NCAA seedings were announced, how­ ever. Despite their fourth straight league crown and a 23-6overall record, the Bucs could only snag a #14 seed in the South­ east region. Their first-round opponent will be Arizona, a Pac 10 power which has consistently been ranked among the Top 10 teams in the nation. •Hi LeForce said.

Mnrrh JO joo7 Two Apps named second-team all-tourne D. tlmi nrwn.* By WILL ROTHSCHILD Assistant Sports Editor The 1992 Southern Conference men's basketball tournament opened March 6 with a familiar team and result. East Ten­ nessee State started their run toward a fourth straight SC championship with an 89-55 destruction of The Citadel. The Buccaneers controlled the game from the start, going up 8-0 in the first four minutes, extending that lead to 22-7 by the second timeout of the half, and eventually heading into halftime with a 47-26 lead. The Bulldogs made a feeble attempt at a rally in the first two minutes of the second half, cutting the lead to 17 at 4932. The Bucs responded with a 21-0 run over the next 7:40, as the Bulldogs committed seven turnovers during that time. The 21-Doint sprint Kiv> ETSU 1 the The 21-point snrint by CTCII made .. score 70-32 and rendered the last 10 min­ utes of the ballgame useless. Rodney English led the Bucs with 16 points, Calvin Talford had 13 and Greg Dennis scored 12. The Citadel was led by Andre Harris who scored 15, all in the first half. More importantly, no ETSU starter played over 23 minutes, as Buccaneer Head Coach Alan LeForce was able to rest his regulars, something which paid dividends for ETSU the restof the tourna­ ment. The 89-55 drubbing also turned out to be the last game for The Citadel Head Coach Randy Nesbit, who was fired by the. school last week after guiding the Bulldogs to a 10-19 record. The second game of the first round featured Tennessee-Chattanooga and Vir­ ginia Military Institute. The MoccasinKeydet match-up turned out to be almost a carbon copy of the tourney's first game, as VMI proved to be no match for the superior athleticism and strength of UTC. The Keydets were never able to trim the lead under 10 points in the second half, as Threats connected on four threepointers and 15 points in the final 20 minutes to lead the Moccasins to an 84-49 win. The first game of the evening session of the opening round gave the tournament its first exciting, wire-to-wire contest It was also the tournament's only upset, as the sixth-seeded Marshall Thundering Herd surprised third-seeded Furman, 8376. Marshall, which entered the contest 621 and only 3-11 in the SC regular season race, used 25 points from Tyrone Phillips and 71 percent field goal shooting in the second half to stun the 17-11 Paladins, who swept Marshall in the regular season. I David Stamey led Furman with 27 points. On Saturday after ETSU had disposed of Appalachian State (see story), M arshall looked to make it two upsets in a row as they took on Tennessee-Chattanooga. However, the Mocs were prepared as UTC never trailed and led by as many as 17 before winning 84-68. Keith Nelson scored 18 and picked up 10 rebounds to lead UTC, while Phillips scored 23 points and grabbed nine rebounds for Marshall. After ETSU defeated UTC for the championship on Sunday (see story), the All-Tournament Team was announced. The champion Buccaneers placed three players on the first team, including tour­ nament MVP Greg Dennis. Also repre­ senting ETSU on the first team were Talford and Rodney. Kelly Sutton and Nelson, both from Tennessee-Chatta­ nooga rounded out the top five. Billy Ross and Steve Spurlock from Appalachian State received second-team honors.

Does today's education come outside classroom? Where do college students of the 1990s receive thebest education? Is it in the classroom or outside through involvement in extracurricular activities? Come to think of it, does the term extracurricular exist in the vocabulary of today's college students? Perhaps the politically correct term is co-curricular, and all out-of-class activities should be viewed as equally important as those in class. Apparently, Appalachian State's focus of an education is zeroing in on the extracurricular (or co-curricular) education. At least that appears to be the case with regards to campus construction. The last three buildings constructed on campus were the Quinn Center, the College of Business building and Trivette Hall. Two of the three added no classroom space. The Quinn Center serves as a recreational and fitness facility forweight training, aerobics, racquetball, basketball andjogging. Trivette Hall isadining facility which houses the Park Place Cafe, The Pizzeria,The Market and Food Service administrative offices. The College of Business building added classrooms. What's next on the agenda for campus construction? Last week, work began on a $9 million student union expansion project. This will add conference rooms, a weight room/aerobic facility, an expanded Sweet Shop, a modified gameroom and offices for numerous clubsand organizations. Again, extracur­ ricular (co-curricular) activities receive the funding. Upcoming for Appalachian? Well, currently a bill awaiting the North Carolina General Assembly lists Appalachian as desiring to borrow $18 million for two construction projects. One is a Student Activity Center, which will cost approximately $24 million, and the other is a new administration building which will consolidate several offices such as financial aid, registra­ tion and campus information. Again, extracurricular (co-curricular) and administrative functions receive the money. ASU's priorities are apparently focused on what administrators call cocurricular activities. Should the university give more attention to the strict academic needs of Appalachian students? Is more money needed for the actual curriculum, instead of the extra- (or co-) curriculum? An education at Appalachian is a blend of classroom and out-of-class functions. However, is the classroom portion being neglected while extracur­ ricular activities receive the majority of support? Do a new administration building and another weight room reflect the academ ic needs of ASU students? Or is the education of the '90s becoming one obtained away from traditional academic buildings, such as classrooms and libraries? THE FAR SIDE Will computers eliminate privacy? By BRIAN WINKLER Appalachian Staff Writer In 1946, development and construction of the most influential modern machine was completed at the Univer­ sity of Pennsylvania. The Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer was the first electronic digital computer to come online. At the time, I am sure that none of its designers could foresee the way the world would change as this new technology was developed. The ENIAC's electronic successors got smaller and faster, and program­ mers found more and more complex ways to manipulate all kinds of information. Today's computers can become massive data crunchers by linking with bigger and better computers through satellites, radio waves and telephone lines. This capability gives even today's least complex computers massive information-gathering powers. Today's computers do something never before pos­ sible: they retrieve colossal amounts of information and they don't forget—computer memories are eternal. Com­ puters possess no morals, no ethics and no compassion. They faithfully perform whatever task a programmer assigns them until they complete that task. In concert, those two facts scare me. Every day, a computer somewhere gathers more infor­ mation on each and everyone of us. To really understand the true scope of the computer information world, you must understand what the computers know about each of us: our names, addresses and telephone numbers; our school grades and extracurricular activities; our occupa­ tions, income and work schedules; our drivingrecords and our medical records, too. Lists of the library books we have checked out in the past, what magazines we sub­ Do not satisfy Klan hunger for hate By MATTHEW MCNANEY Appalachian Staff Writer The Ku Klux Klan is trying to get a marching date on Easter in Boone. As this date draws near,I've heard many students say they would attend the parade to scream and curse. I've even heard one person say he'd throw rocks. It's amazing how much hatred an organization of malice can cre­ ate in others. The KKK has changed its image, ac­ cording to spokespersons. Gone are the days when the Klan killed four commu­ nists in Greensboro. Forgotten are the lynchings that continued into the '70s. We have a new KKK on our hands, one that has a presidential candidate whom some take seriously. It says it is not a party who hates, but rather a party that preaches white power and strength.It has even gone so far to call itself the NAAWP. This is why they now appear peaceful when they march. They don't, however, mention whether they will preach togetherness with Caucasian, Jews and homosexuals. I have seen KKK marches on televi­ sion. Marchers walk quietly down the street while hundreds of people, black and white, scream at them. The KKK is calm and the protesters' faces turn red and purple. While the police guard the block­ ades from disruptions and arrest those who are violent, the KKK march without reciprocating the behavior that they re­ ceive. Think carefully about this. The KKK is an organization of hate, yet today it acts peacefully. Meanwhile, those who support peace and oppose the Ku Klux Klan attend marches only to scream with brutality and hatred.We don't even realize that we are falling right into their hands. The KKK are hard-headed, but not stupid. They know what they are march­ ing into, but they recognize that as long as there are people who take them seriously enough to attend their march, they have a need to continue. Protestors don'tevendenttheir beliefs. Their hunger is hate, and violent protests satisfy it. They see protestors as the igno­ rance that needs to be overcome. They also hope to influence those who see the KKK as peaceful underdogs being at­ tacked by a mob. This is how they gain membership and power. Think about the reason you are going out to see them. Are you really showing your strong convictions against the KKK, or do you just want to be seen screaming with everyone else so you won't be called a bigot? Have you ever written against the KICK or joined a peaceful organization to counteract their practices, or do you feel that an appearance at a parade will ab­ solve you? Ask yourself if you are truly going to support the African-Americans, Jews, Asians, homosexuals and Native Americans on campus, or if you're going to feel good about yourself. My solution? Don't go. Hate comes in so many different forms and packages, we need to make sure we don't attend to any of them. If you know someone that is going, urge him or her not to. If you want to do more, then ask businesses on the march route to close down temporarily during the march or join the peace march. Imagine the KKK parade which no one attends. They will walk in silence know­ ing that no one in Boone takes them or their message seriously enough to watch them. Their purpose will be defeated. Isn't that what we want in the first place?

It seems there are certain people who find enjoyment at the expense of others. An example which anyone who has afternoon classes in Sanford can identify with is that of those certain "cool" people who blast music from their dorm rooms at East Residence Hall.

Tony Wyatt ASU Box 6025 Librarians express thanks to seniors To the Editor: We would like to express our thanks to the 1991-92 senior class for awarding their class gift to the library. We are pleased and impressed with the seniors' commitment to improving Appalachian's educational resources for current and future students, faculty and staff. In April, a reception for the senior class donors will be held in Belk Library; specific details will be announced later, but we look forward to displaying some of the books that will already have been added to the library collection as early fruits of the seniors' contributions. Sincerely, W. Bede Mitchell Myrna McCallister Co-Acting University Librarians But more to my point here, it simply would not occur to these same students that they should be cajoled and entertained into learning. Such an MTV concept of education is an almost exclusively American phenomenon and a fairly recent one at that, having begun with the flower children of the late '60s. Anyone who sincerely wants to improve our educational system—or the economy, for that matter—can do what the author of this half-baked diatribe did not do: stop whining and get to work. Alice's Restaurant is closed. Ron Coulthard English Department Teachers do not need to entertain students Reader questions To the Editor: I was struck by this statement in "Enthusiasm missing from education today," a Feb. 27 article in The Appalachian blaming all the ills of modem education on senile professors who don't make school fun: "Japan, Germany, England and many other countries around the world are outcompeting the United States in all types of technological trades." I'll bet that almost all Japanese and German students know that England is experiencing an even deeper recession than our current Reagan-Bush slump, and that England hasn't been a world economic power for almost a century now. ASU postal service To the Editor I am concerned that the campus post office is charging students for intracampus, student-to-student mail. Why does this occur? I know that at another UNC system school (UNC Greens­ boro), that campus' contract postal station does not charge for student-tostudent mail. Departments can send students mail at no charge. Why are A.S.U. students denied this same privilege—and we pay fees to attend school? To me this is hot right. Can something be done to look into this? M. G.

"RAPE," it's a word spoken in a soft whisper- But usually the word "rape" is „g(spoken at all. Still, it's there. • statistics show a majority of women j few men will experience rape or a (axual assault in their lifetimes. But very few people talk about rape, and less than 10 percent of the victims report the crimes. According to "A Berkley Scholar Clashes with Feminists Over Validity of Their Research on Date Rape" from the Feb. 26 issue of"The Chronicle of Higher Education," one problem with the few reports of rape is in its definition. Women who have been raped by people they know usually don't call it rape, be­ cause they think only a stranger can be a rapist, according to the article. "A rape is a rape," said Director of Women's Studies Melissa Barth. "Be­ cause 90 percent of the time no physical abuse is evident on the outside, people have ahard time accepting a violent crime has been committed," Barth added. ASU Junior Sandy Feutz believes rape is taken too lightly. "Rape is a very seri­ ous offense,"said Feutz. "People need to recognize the seriousness of rape." "Seventy-five percent of women will be assaulted in one way or another," said Barth."We lead ourselves into think­ ing that it only happens to others. There's no target group, though. You can be ugly, beautiful, black, white or green." The majority of students asked about their feelings of rape didn't see a big problem, but still used precautions. "The reports on campus say there's nothing to worry about," explained stu­ dent Shauna Roman. "But it's kind of dangerous to not becautious or prepared." "Walking from the library at night I feel safe, because1 only live five minutes away and it's well lit," added Roman. "But I still carry mace for a sense of security," she added. "I ride my bike at night, because I don't like to walk alone," said student Christy Harris."I don't feel safe walking alone on campus, so before I got my bike I carried mace." Dr. Howard Nixon, chairperson of the Sociology Department said he has found that men and women students see the issue of rape differently. From discus­ sions in class. Nixon believes the main cause of rape is a lack of communicating in relationships and failing to communi­ cate expectations. Barth argues that the emphasis on the woman being careful and taking preven­ tive measures is a very wrong distribution of responsibility. "Women should not be responsible for policing men's behav­ ior," said Barth. "Rape is a crime of anger, but it's usually the victim who is guilty until proven innocent." "I worry about it and take precautions," said Victoria Roman, "but I'm not going to be a prisoner in my room. I don't want to live in fear of doing something as simple as walking across campus." "As long as we treat rape, especially acquaintance rape, as a shameful prob­ lem," added Barth, "Ninety percent of the rapes will not be reported."

McCartney is on the board of advisers 0 Colorado for Family Values, a group that wants to stop "militant homosexual and lesbian activists from undermining Colorado's family values" by gaining protected legal status. Since the press conference, five dem­ onstrations have beat held on campus, the office of President Judith Albino has been picketed and more than 50 letters have flooded the office of the University of Colorado Daily, the school newspaper. "The campus is divided," said Clint Talbot, managing editor of the Colorado Daily. "Thereare hundreds of people who are upset about what the coach said." Others, however, support the coach's right to free speech though he is in a highly visible position at the university, Talbot said. "A lot of people don't expect intellec­ tual acumen from a football coach," he said. "But do you lose your right to free speech if you hold a public position?" Albino, who became president last May, said in a written statement that McCartney, or "Coach Mac" as he is known on cam­ pus, would not be punished because he "did not intend to imply university en­ dorsement of the Colorado for Family Values organization when he was identi­ fied in the group's advisory board listing as CU's head football coach." Albino promised in her inaugural speech to promote "greater cultural and ethnic diversity not because it is politi­ cally correct, but because it is right." The president has met with the coach twice "to clarify her expectations" of the coach's future behavior,said Pauline Hale, director of public relations. "She (Albino) is very upset over what has happened. She feels the coach has the right of free speech, but not while he is representing the university," Hale said. In his most recent statement, McCartney said, "While I personally share the values held by the Colorado for Family Values organization, I have never intended my involvement to imply any endorsement of the group or its activities by the Univer­ sity of Colorado. "I regret any misunderstanding caused by the use of my job title on the organization's materials," the coach added. McCartney has been the center of con­ troversy at Colorado for many years. • In 1984, the American Civil Liberties Union obtained acourt order that stopped the coach from forcing his players to say prayers before games.

Second, you do not have to be drunk to be an impaired driver, said a BACCHUS pamphlet distributed by the Wellness Center. One or two drinks can affect your driving. Third, people should take their turn being the designated driver to get every­ one where they want to go safely, the pamphlet added. Respectotherpeople'srightnot to drink and choose not to if you would like, the pamphlet advised, adding that plenty of fun can be had without alcohol being involved. Fourth, do not let your friends drive impaired, and remember that your best protection against an impaired driver is your seatbelt, said the pamphlet. Last, when your friends drink exces­ sively to the point of passing out, be sure to stay with them, and make sure they sleep on their sides.Check their breathing regularly, and seek medical attention if you are concerned. The Wellness and Stress Management Center is sponsoring a Safe Spring Break table outside of the student union or in The Pub, depending on the weather on Wednesday, March 4. At the table, students can sign a pledge card not to drink and drive over spring break and register for a grand prize draw'ing fpr a Chrysler car or jeep.

Aunese died of stomach cancer months before his son was born. • In 1989, McCartney said he believed that rape must include physical abuse to constitute a crime.

The Pep Band has maintained a reputa­ tion for being an excellent supporter of the basketball team. The band gets the crowd into the game with their music, cheers, jokes, signs and all of the noise that makes a good game great. Among the wide selections of music played by the Pep Band are: "Rockin' Robin," "In The Stone," "Hey Baby," "School's Out," "I Can See For Miles, 'Let's Go Blue" and music from the most popular Marching Moun­ taineer show this year, "The Blues Brothers." In addition to these pieces are the ASU Band's signature tunes "Brass Roots," "Carolina in the Morning" and 'Tennes­ see Waltz." In addition to performing at all home games, a delegation of members will be attending the Southern Conference Bas­ ketball Tournament. This select ensemble will include 11 trumpets, six trombones. five mellophones, four baritones, three tubas and four saxophones. Although the performance of any kind of music requires attention and thought, the purpose of the Pep Band is to support the team and entertain the crowd. Saxophone player Richard Sprecker said, "This was a very good year for the Pep Band. We have a strong and spirited group, wideinstrumentation, and we have a lot of fun." "In addition, we have played some good music this year. Being in the Pep Band is like being a cheerleader because we both have the same job of keeping spirits high and entertaining the crowd. All of the work pays off, though, when the basketball team slam dunks a ball or wins a game with a last-second threepointer." The director of the Pep Band is Charles Crabbe, an alumnus of Appalachian and Assistant Band Director for the Marching Mountaineers. Play is successful Dramatic Summer A modern interpretation of Shakespeare By SCOTT PLASTER Appalachian Staff Writer The Acting Company performed Wil­ liam Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in Farthing Auditorium on Tuesday. The company describes its perfor­ mances as unique. One thing is for sure; this production of the comedy was in­ jected with a fresh originality that left the audience both enthralled and amused. The play was an orgy of song, dance, laughter and seduction. Minor adaptationsby thecompany were probably blasphemy to Shakespearean purists, but made the play more acces­ sible to modern viewers. The play used modem costumes and props: an umbrella, flashlights, a duffel bag and black army boots. One character read Tuesday's is­ sue of The Appalachian. Some of the songs sang by the characters were "Blue Moon" and "Strangers in the Night." The play's plot centered around love •id lust. A mystical allure was created by tragical and playful fairies. They cast love spells on characters, weaving a com­ plex web of lust, conflict and comedy. They once even made a woman fall in love with a jackass.They shed thecharac­ ters of their clothing, leaving them to chase each other around in their under­ wear. The stage was filled with halfnaked, intertwined bodies. The majority of the play's comic relief came from an acting troupe composed of laborers and craftsmen. Twice, when they catered the stage, they wereaccompanied by an instrumental version of the whimsi­ cal Beatles song "Life Goes On." The play culminated in the last act when this acting troupe performed a play for the three royal couples of Athens. The actors played the roles of aman, a woman, a lion, a wall and the moon. The woman was played by a male actor, resulting in a Carol Bumette-like whine. The troupe's play was so horrible, with its over-acting, that it was immensely funny to the royal couples and the audi­ ence. As the troupe performs, the royal couples are heard cracking jokes about the play's antics. As the play opens the wall speaks. Later comes the time for the male and femalecharacters to kiss, through a hole in the wall. The man said, "O, kiss me through the holeof this vile wall ."The woman character, played by a man, takes a long pause and looks at the audience with a look of anxiety, dreading kissing another man. When they exchange the peck, the woman said, "I kiss the wall's hole, not your lips at all." The Acting Company's production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" ended with thunderous applause, whistles and a standing ovation. The actors were all so talented and well-prepared that it would be difficult to single anyone out as outstanding or weak; they were all good. Details of stage business, such as reac­ tions and actions of the characters not speaking, wereexecu ted though tful ly and naturally. The singing talent of most of the actors was also apparent. The productionof this enchanting com­ edy acted as areminder that Shakespeare's works are enduring and universal. Even without the modernization of some props and details, the play's theme of blind love, in the absence of reason, is a topic most audiences would find understand­ able and appealing. The Acting Company was the launch­ ing pad for many actors' careers, includ­ ing Kevin Kline,Patti LuPone, Lisa Banes and Megan Gallagher.

Symphonic Band strikes common chord with audience By MEKEL ROGERS Appalachian Staff Writer Tonight the AppalachianState UniverSymphonic Band will perform its Brat concert of the spring semester. The band, consisting of over 50 talwt<xl musicians, is considered one of the roost acclaimed ensembles in the School °f Music. Slty TWs year the Symphonic Band has revised its requirements. An audition is now used to determine membership roto the ensemble. In the past, auditions Vere used only to determine seating. As a result, the improved Symphonic Band has been able to tackle more complex and challenging musical pro­ grams. The repertoire for this performance includes "March of the Belgium Para­ troopers," "Third Suite" by Robert Jager, "A Maritime Overture" by John Ireland and "Ballet Sacra"by David R.Holsinger. "Jazz Concerto for Saxophone Quartet and Band" will feature Dr.William A. Gora, Ray Hutcherson, Shannon Stone and Jerry Cain as the members of the quartet. Trombone player Josh Sox said, "I like most of the pieces that we're doing, but 'Ballet Sacra' is my favorite because it makes good use of every instrument in the ensemble. There is even a section where the ensemble sings a chant-like passage in Latin. In addition, the rhythms in the piece are so complex that timing is much more intricate and takes a great deal of concentration in order to keep up." The director of the Symphonic Band is Dr. Joe Brashier. Brashier has been with the ASU Band program for several years and in addition to the Symphonic Band, he directs the Marching Mountaineers and handles School of Music Internships in student teaching. Brashier is very dedicated to exposing the Symphonic Band to newer and more challenging experiences. Much higher goals and expectations have been set for every member of the ensemble. Brashier expects the audience to be impressed at the Symphonic Band's rapid improve­ ment Flutist Shannon Thomas said, "This semester, because of the new audition requirements, the Symphonic Band has a higher percentage of music majors in its membership. In the past, the ensemble has had an almost equal ratio of music majors to non-music majors. The new audition policy has enabled the band to attempt moretechnically adv anced music and has improved our performance qual­ ity." The concert will be held in the Rosen Concert Hall in Broyhill Music Center at 8 p.m. Thursday night. The Symphonic Band will also be per­ forming during the Contemporary Music Festival to be held the last week of April which is sponsored by the brothers of Rti Mu Alpha.

Pantera is back on the charts with a heavy metal sound Band releases lyrically strong "Vulgar Display of Power" as a powerful follow-up to debut album CHRIS BRADY Appalachian Staff Writer Vulgar Display of Power" is the sec^ release from Pantera. This album Packs anger and aggression from beginr"J1£ 10 end. Each and every song deals some topic that is a cause of frustra«nor anger. "Vulgar Display of Power" arder and more angry than Pantera's ebut release, "Cowboys from Hell." P°n hearing its debut release, I was ^ instant Pantera fan. This is an honest ^®nd that is not afraid to deal with controrosial issues and deliver powerful, emo°nal music. Pantera's music lies between hard-core thrash and is full of energy. The honesty of this band shows through in the lyrics; they hold nothing back. Philip Anselmo's scowling lead vocals drive each song along with some excel­ lent guitar work by Diamond Darrell. Darrell is very creative with his riffs, and his solos are incredible. The foundation of Pantera's music is laid by Vinnie Paul on drums and Rex on bass. The music is relentless. Pantera contin­ ued its hard-core assault with this album and refused to change. The combi­ nation of excellent lyrics on this album as well as the relentless music is one that should not be overlooked by metal fans. The first single and video from the album is "Mouth for War." The song "He's a pretty cool person who lets the band have a lot of fun. Of course he will tell us if he thinks we're getting a little rowdy, but he keeps us focused on our job to support the team." said trumpet player Christopher Poor. The ASU Pep Band's membership is not limited to music majors. It allows anyone who can play an instrument used in the band to join. The band is present at all home games every basketball season; so come out and help them support our athletes. dares anyone to challenge the band's determination and will to succeed. The song hassome excellent changesthrough­ out. A few songs on the album are sure to arouse controversy if they are misunder­ stood. "Rise" is a song that deals with our nation's history of ignorance when deal­ ing with certain groups of people and cultures. "No Good (Attack The Radical)" con­ fronts racism from a white anti-racial point of view. This is an excellent song dealing with a sensitive topic. The song is basically asking people to stop living in the past. Both of these songs are calling for a type of revolution because of our country's past ignorances. A couple of songs on this album deal with individuality, something feared to be almost extinct throughout most of so­ ciety."Regular People(Conceit)" talksof standing in the mirror practicing to be like someone else. Regular people would find it hard to be themselves. "Walk" also lashes out at those who can't be themselves and, therefore, force themselves on others. "Be yourself/ By yourself/ Stay away from me"is a sample of the lyrics. The majority of the album has a per­ sonal side to it, showing people and their problems. The anger expressed over people's problems and ignorances is ex­ pressed in the music. Two of the songs deal with love, both dealing with a different type of love. "This Love" deals with the pains of love and the suffering it can cause. It deals with love gone bad. "Hollow" is a song about a friend who is in a coma. The song shows the pain and distress over someone who was so close but is now so far away. The lyrics show confusion while the music is peaceful and then builds ir.to anger and frustration. "Vulgar Display of Power" has no weak point. It is an excellent album for the metal fan. Pantera is also an excellent band live. They recently opened for Skid Row in Charlotte, and they gave an incredible show. They love their audience and fans, and it shows in their performances. Try to check out Pantera, one of the few remaining honest bands. Some of the nation's most exciting summer theatre employment opportuni­ ties exist far from the major population centers. They are with the country's out­ door historical dramas. From "Cry Of The Wild" on Kodiak Island, Alaska to "The Lost Colony" on Roanoke Island, these original plays, based on actual events and performed where the events took place, now number more than 70 nation­ wide. Each summer some 4,500 actors, singers, dancers and technicians, most of whom are college or university students, find jobs in outdoor drama. On Saturday, March 21, 12 outdoor historical dramas from six states will be on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill auditioning col­ lege and university student performers and technicians for summer jobs. The auditions, sponsored by the Institute of Outdoor Drama, are open to anyone 18 years of age with previous theatre train­ ing or experience. Outdoor historical drama is rich in op­ portunities, for the performer and techni­ cian alike. Stunt and combat profession­ als train and rehearse actors whose safety depends on intense concentration, me­ ticulous blocking and rigorous rehearsal. Pyrotechnicians, artificers trained to handle period weaponry and explosives, horseback riders and wranglers, fight di­ rectors, historians and speech consultants are among those contributing special ex­ pertise to productions. The design, instal­ lation and maintenance of sophisticated equipment for sound, voice reinforce­ ment, special effects and lighting all re­ quire a skilled staff and state-of-the-art technology. Outdoor theatre offers performers and technicians the opportunity to use and expand theatre skills in an unconven­ tional theatre environment. Being part of a large-cast, long-run production provides invaluable experience. The outdoor amphitheatre, with its requirements of vocal and physical projection, challenges the performer trained in traditional the­ atre to discover new limits. Competing for the attention of the au­ dience with tree frogs, heat lightning and that bane of the outdoor theatre, the sud­ den summer storm, are all part of a night's work! The outdoor setting also poses a unique set of technical problems for which imaginative, creative solutions must be found. In some outdoor dramas, the setting itself plays a major role. At the Waterside Theatre on Roanoke Island in North Caro­ lina, tlie audience at "The Lost Colony" looks over the stage and out to sea, watch­ ing with the actors for ships from En­ gland. At Ohio's "Trumpet In The Land," the church is set ablaze;and'Tecumseh!" battle scenes are staged on horseback in the surrounding forest Employment in an outdoor drama re­ quires a nine to 12 week commitment including two weeks of rehearsal and eight tolO weeks of performances. Com­ panies may offer additional productions, experimental theatre and workshops, children's theatre productions and col­ lege credit programs. Some of the major companies offer subsidized or paid hous­ ing, or will assist in locating housing for company members. The Institute of Outdoor Drama spon­ sors the only combined auditions in the country specifically designed to bring outdoor historical dramas and talented performers and technicians together. "Actors present a one-minute prepared monologue and may offer another at call­ back interviews. Singers are asked to pre­ pare one song, with a one-minute time limit.

Often, all the pre-game hype, anticipation and emotion can leave a team, its fans and its community feeling deflated after a loss to a top rival. So it is no hard task to figure out the disappointment that Mountaineer basketball players, coaches, fans and, yes, even I, felt after ASU dropped its ninth straight decision to the despised East Tennessee State Buccaneers and their gaggle of fans from the hills and factories of Johnson City, Tenn. Appalachian's leading scorer and junior swingman Billy Ross said after the game that the 70-63 loss was the most frustrating moment he had ever spent on a basketball court. It was, indeed, a sad time. It was sad not only because the Apps lost to ETSU, but because it was the Apps' 13th loss of the year, a year that was supposed to be a banner season for Appalachian but ended up being a hohum 14-13 affair. It was also the last game in Varsity Gym for seniors Rodney Peel, Tim Powers and Steve Spurlock, three of the most storied players in ASU basketball history. In the midst of all this gloom, however, I saw something that made me come back to reality. It was a scene that made me remember that basketball is, after all, just a game. Moreover, it is a fun game, a game to be excited about and happy about, not a game to fret over or cry over. I At one end of the court, fobr boys, no older than 10, were shooting baskets with a plastic cup. These youngsters, still fairly new to the game, were playing two-on-two with a cup. They dove on the floor for loose balls—uh, cups, blocked shots, and generally showed the kind of reckless enthusiasm for the game that I'm sure first attracted Peel, Powers, Spurlock, Ross and the rest of the Mountaineers to the sport when they were around the same age. I They, unlike the rest of the older and supposed-wiser fans that were still frowning, ,didn't realize, understand or probably even care about the magnitude of this latest ASU loss. One of the boys, who was taller than the other three, blocked a shot, grabbed the rebound, then whipped a behind-the-back, no-look pass to his teammate for an easy layup. He was wearing glasses, and he had a nice left hand, better than a lot of high school players as a matter of fact. a >o ASU faces tough road in tourney 15.

Lady Apps go after third straight crown By LYDIA E. CRAVER Appalachian Staff Writer The ASU Lady Mountaineer basketball squad will travel to Johnson City, Tenn., on March 12-14 to compete in the Southern Conference Tourna­ ment at Freedom Hall. Reigning tournament champions, the Lady Apps will open play on Marchl2, seeded fourth against the fifth-seeded Lady Bucs of East Tennessee State. Appalachian has defeated ETSU in its prior two meetings this season by 10 and two points respec­ tively. ASU Assistant Coach Barbie Breedlove is con­ fident about the ETSU game. "We know that it is going to be tough. We should win, but it will be a real battle because we will be playing in front of even play our best. We want to gel to Furman bad. their home crowd.

There was, and still is, fear among ASU backers that the Mountaineers will not be able to shake off the effects of the loss this weekend in Asheville at the Southern Conference Tourna"tent. It would be a shame, especially for this team, if ASU winds up playing poorly in Asheville. By SHANNON MCGINNIS Appalachian Staff Writer There is enough talent present to win the tourney.

The Apps expect to battle top-seed Tennessee-Chattanooga for the league title. The Appalachian State wrestling team will com­ plete in the Southern Conference Tournament on Sunday, March 8, in Asheville. The Mountaineers have had excellent results in the 20 years that they have competed in the Southem Conference. The Apps have taken seven con­ secutive second-place finishes, have taken the run­ ner-up trophy in 10 of the last 11 seasons, and won the 1983-84 league tide. In the past 19 Southern Conference Champion­ ships, the Mountaineers have one league title, 13 runner-up trophies, three third-place finishes, one fourth spot ranking and a sixth place ending. ASU Head Coach Paul Mance has directed the Moun­ taineer wresders to the one league championship in which the squad has not finished below second place in a dozen years. The ASU wresding team has had a successful season. They have only lost three matches this year, and only one of those losses came inside the conference. Twoof those losses have been to ACC powers North Carolina State and Clemson. The one conference loss was to University of Tennes­ see at Chattanooga. Although ASU lost to Chattanooga, the match was on UTC's home turf, and Appalachian State was lacking two of its leading wrestlers. The Southem Conference match between ASU and Chatta­ nooga will be an intense match with the odds being in favor of both of these talented teams. Appalachian has a "50/50 chance" of walking away with the tournament crown, according to Coach Mance. Mance also believes that the cham­ pionship title will depjend on "whatever team has the most luck this weekend." In the past decade, Appalachian's biggest com­ petitor has been UTC in the Southern Conference Championships. The results of each of the matches have always been "based on one or two little things," Mance said. It has often even "come down to the very last few seconds," Mance continued. "We've had many exciting tournaments." When asked about his own personal v ie ws on the match, Mance feels that the experts will probably favorTennessee-Chattanooga. But Mance believes that Appalachian is just as good as, if not better than, Chatanooga. Mance stated, "1 feel in my heart, we're the better team." The tournament will begin at 8:30 a.m. on Sun­ day in the Asheville Civic Center, which will also serve as the site for the Southern Conference Bas­ ketball Tournament. Mountaineers absent from all-conference team Appalachian Staff Reports Despite a 9-5 record and a third-place finish in the Southern Conference regular-season race, Appalachian State placed no members on the all-conference team, announced earlier this week. "I'm disappointed because I thought we had several players who merited consideration," ASU Head CoachTom Apke said. "But that's something that's outof our hands. Hopefully, we can play well at the Southern ConferenceTournament and pirove our guys deserved some recognition." Three players, each from conference co-cham­ pions East Tennessee State and Tennessee-Chatta­ nooga, were picked for the 11 -man squad. Furman, which tied the Mountaineers for third in the league standings, placed two members on the team, as did seventh-seed Virginia Military Institute. Senior guard Terry Boyd of Western Carolina was named the conference player of the year and spiear-headed the first team. The 6'2" Boyd led the conference in scoring with a 23.1 clip, despite missing several games due to an injury. Senior forward Keith Nelson and junior point guard Tim Brooks represented the co-champ UTC Moccasins on the first-team squad. Nelson averaged nearly 17 points a contest on the season and was the league's number one rebounder, averaging nearly nine boards a game. Brooks made an impact in his rookie season in the conference. The transfer from Sullivan Busi­ ness College established himself as one of the finest guards in the conference by averaging 14.4 pjoints. Brooks also led the loop in assists and swipjed a league-high 2.9 steals per contest. Rounding out the All-SC first team were for­ ward Rodney English and guard Calvin Talford of East Tennessee State. English, a 6'4" native of Denmark, S.C., aver­ ted nearly 17.8pxrintsand7.4rebounds an outing. Talford tallied 17.5 px>ints a contest and was the league's top marksman at the free throw line, drilling 88 percent of his free throws. The second team consisted of Bruce Evans and Hal Henderson of Furman, ETSU's Greg Den­ nis, Levert Threats of UTC and VMl's Jonathan Penn and Lewis Preston, who tied for the final S|X)t. UTC Head Coach Mack McCarthy was tabbed as the league's coach of the year, while Marshall freshman Malik High tower was chosen as the SC's top freshman.

Naomi Tutu, daughter of South African Archbishop Desmund Tutu, spoke Thursday, Feb. 27, in a nearly-empty Farthing Auditorium. Fewer than 100 people came and were sparsely distributed throughout the site's 1,800 seats. Less than 100 people is less than 1 percent of ASU's student body. Does this mean that less than 1 percent of the students here are here to receive an education? Tutu's visit was part of the Major Forum Series sponsored by the Office of Cultural Affairs. The office provides the campus with speakers to enhance the overall education of ASU's students. Each year, the university brings these speakers to campus to share perspec­ tives on a variety of issues affecting the lives of all Americans. Topics reflect sxial concerns, current events, trends for the future, schools of thought and other relevant attitudes and issues. Each presentation offers one person's opinion on an issue of concern. The series allowseach memberof the audience the chance toabsorb the information a/id then to form an opinion about it. Is this not what education is about—reaching informed decisions on imporlant topics? Last week's presentation was an opportunity to gain a global perspective on cultural diversity and global economics. Tutu shared her views on a problem ofintemational concern; she explained the situation in her native South Africa. Tutu's visit was financed by you, the student, as a portion of your student fees ay for these programs. Therefore, you have already paid for the educational opportunity available to you. S houldn' t you have taken advantage of the money you have already spent? This money was spent wisely, as Cultural Affairs selected important speakers for the series. By not attending, you are not wisely laking advantage of your expenditures. The Major Forum Series will bring three more speakers to campus before the end of the semester. Take advantage of these offerings and enhance your overall education at Appalachian. On April 1, Boris Natkin will present "Global Perspectives on Politics" on April 14, a Greenpeace representative will speak on "Global Perspectives on die Environment," and on April 28, Mark LaRochelle will discuss "Global Perspectives on Animal Rights." Each presentation begins at 8 p.m. at Farthing Auditorium. Mark your calendars, and plan to attend these presentations. Your education "ill be improved because of your attendance. Books suppork us in our solitude and keep us from being a burden to ourselves. —Jeremy Collier By TRACY TARLETON Appalachian Commentary Editor A request was recently introduced to provide more oncampus housing for greek organizations. The reasons used to justify the request were to fosteT brother/sister­ hood by living together in the same residence hall and lack of available off-campus facilities to house entire greek organizations. My freshman and sophomore years, only one resi­ dence hall on campus was designated greek—Cannon Residence Hall. This year, however, one additional hall. Cone Residence Hall, was made greek. Cone was for­ merly an all-male residence hall. All-male residence halls are a dying species on the ASU campus, and changing Cone to a greek hall added to this problem. Juniors and seniors, do you remember what it was like trying to get into a residence hall for this year?If you were lucky, you were one of the first 150 names on the waiting list and were guaranteed an assignment, but just weren't told immediately what the assignment would be. Aver­ age people started out in the 300's on the waiting list, then moved to the 200's as the waiting list was updated, then finally found out sometime during the summer what the assignment would be, if they had the patience to stay on the list that long. The Office of Residence Life recognized the problem and improved on it. The application process started much earlier this year. Those of us who won't be guaranteed housing for next year will know immediately after spring break exactly where we stand on the waiting list. Last year we didn't know until April. However, this doesn't eliminate the primary reason juniors and seniors had more trouble getting housing last year than ever before. Housing is in short supply on the ASU campus. When Cone Residence Hall was desig­ nated greek, it caused that much more of a shortage. Now the greeks want the remaining two non-greek floors in Cone. If this request is granted, it is possible that entering freshmen at Appalachian will no longer be ment, a student in a greek organization can.

It may be a little naive, but why is the cost of living in Boone, Banner Elk and Blowing Rock so high? I moved off campus and lived on my own for the first time in 1989 after living in a dorm &II&J WUoul? CollKsE KSTils S#CKSS IS JtiST Mow THE OofflR! «1I TUt lllfltHt Distnouted by Tnoune Media Services for a year. I swore I'd never live there again until I realized the costs. I got into a house this year and the costs have almost doubled. For a two-bedroom, two-bath house the rent is S575 a month. Granted, there are some cheaper than that, but they are few and far between so that you have to really jump in order to be one of the lucky ones. It seems like for any type of hookup, installation or service, there is a deposit or fee required. It costs quite a bit of money to move in anywhere because of all these. There is a deposit to get electricity hooked up of around $80. the fee for a new phone line is S45 (which is a matter of punching a few keys on a computer), as well as water fees and deposits. Plus if you don't have electric heat, you must pay cash or leave a deposit for oil or propane. It can cost between S500-S 1,000 just to get up here and settled in before classes even start. Seeing that we students are plowing all this money into our living arrange­ ments, why are we faced with landlords who fight for every penny of our deposit when we bust our buns to steam clean the carpet and scrub the apart­ ments from head to toe before we move out? And why are we limited to one-year leases when the management compa­ nies know most of us don't go to summer school? Most say it's simply practical business, but I don't think so. I call it taking advantage of college students who haven't yet learned the ropes. I have also lived away from home in Orlando and could sign a lease for as long or short as I wanfd. What makes Boone's rules different? I know most of these practices are simply good business practice, but it does seem like there are a few here who are making quite a bit of money in the process. Another question I have is aimed at some of the locals from Boone. In A&P the other day I overheard a couple of men talking and heard a comment to the effect of "It must be one of them college kids." They were talking about a car driving too fast. That seems to be the general attitude of the people in Boone. I could be wrong, but what would this town be without us college kids? I don't think the leaves and seasonal tourism are enough to keep this town prosperous. The economy is bad enough as it is. We plow so much money into this economy, I think we should be loved. I know the police love us! We are one of their prime sources of income. Do all police have time to arrest someone for looking at milk crates? Well, it happened to me my freshman year behind Harris Teeter. I ended up paying $200 for a lawyer and paying $100 to perform community service. Not bad for a night out on the town! Yes, I was going to take them, but I hadn't yet. And also, why are we subject to constant harassment driving tlirough town, being pulled at will? I don't want any drunks on the road either, but I do believe in a person's rights. You shouldn't get pulled simply because you are doing the speed limit and that looks suspicious. I am also of the understanding that New River Power and Light is owned by ASU. It is a little perplexing to me that they service most of the areas where college students live, while Blue Ridge Electric services some of the other areas. It is even more perplexing that the charge for power with NRP&L seems to mysteriously rise over Christmas Break then return to normal when all the students come back. I had a power bill for $90 the Christmas I went home in '89. When my roommate and 1 left, we turned off every breaker except the refrigerator. I called the power company, and all I got was an excuse that they estimated and they were sorry. Needless tosay I was livid, but I couldn't do anything about it but pay the bill or lose power! Recently I had to fill our propane tank for the third time this winter. It cost SI60 for 100 gallons. I haven't done any comparing, but do I have a choice? The only other way to heat our house-is with kerosene, and that isn't the best for the lungs and costs almost as much. Plus Suburban Propane has a monopoly in Boone. I thought that was illegal! I want things to change in this town. Why isn't there any student representa­ tion for what goes on? Votes and "public meetings" are always kept quiet, or I don't ever hear about them. This paper should become more involved with the town and help students become more aware of what is going on around here because it affects every one of us. We are adults who have the right to vote and make decisions. This paper is read by thousands ofstudents as well as faculty and residents of this town who work at the school. The 15,000 residents (or more) who are affiliated with this school need to be made aware and considered in the politics and policies being implemented. The Appalachian can be an important medium. Most of the students here are bright individuals and should be treated as such. Let's see a few more controver­ sial articles and not be afraid to print something that not everyone wants to hear. This is a free country. Let's not be told how to live. We have to be taken into consideration, and we have to be able to have an active voice in decision making. Students, be warned, this is a tough town. There are no free lunches around, and you shouldn't expect any. Be careful in the decisions you make, and don't be afraid to say no to a raw deal because they aren't always as pretty as they look! Craig Robertson ASU Box 6990 Psychology professor corrects discrepancy To the Editor: In the recent lead article entitled "Myers-Briggs Testing Sparks 'Controversy" the article states that "ASU psychology department faculty are questioning the Myers-Briggs..." The use of the word "are" implies more than one faculty and yet Dr. Tmavsky is the only faculty member quoted in the article. I would not usually bother to point out an en or of this son, but I do not believe it is any secret on this campus that the psychology faculty are a very diverse group with many diverse views. I would not wish to have readers left with the impression that Dr. Tmavsky's views are necessarily shared by all members or even a majority of members of the psychology faculty. Eric J. Hatch, D.Ed.

Tutu skimmed over her speech title, "Global Perspectives of Economics."She claimed that she was not an expert in the field of economics, a subject which she slid often forgets the people behind the numbers. "It's easy to forget that the people are flesh and blood," Tutu said. Instead, Tutu focused on racial con­ flicts in South Africa and the United States' recent promotion of isolationism. Tutu said that over time she has come appreciate the proverb's message, which she called "a basis of all ties for human beings." Oppressed because of her race in the ipartheid-ridden country of South Af­ rica, Tutu said it was not easy to under­ stand how her white oppressors werehurt­ ing themselves by controlling the blacks md maintaining their dominance. "You can not degradate others without degradating yourself," Tutu said. When a person has more power, it is easy for them to take advantage of others, but with power comes responsibility, Tutu said. "Being the oldest (most powerful), it is easy to take. But you have not simply injured your siblings(the less powerful), but you have harmed yourself also." "We are all bound to each other in many amazing ways. We can only learn to be human by our contact with other people," Tutu added. Tutu said that white South Africans have encountered many problems due to their insistence to maintain their total dominance over the country's power struc­ ture. Fear has caused white South Africans to keep guns in their houses, and that same fear is killing their children, Tutu said. She noted that the newspapers con­ stantly cover stories about white children who are killed when playing with loaded handguns at home. Tutu gave another problem created by white South African's fear: the white men's fear of being inadequate to protect their families, causing them to kill their entire families. Tutu said the fear of the Black Tide was so great, the white men found it preferable to kill their families rather than them being killed by others. "Those who may seem to have all the power may suffer from the use or misuse of that power. We are all tied up in each other's destiny," Tutu said. "Putting America First," which has been spurred by the economic recession, ap­ pears in various forms of media, encour­ aging citizens to buy American made products. However, Tutu sees this turn toward isolationism as a mistake and pointed out that World War II and Adolf Hitler caused the United States to come out of isolation before. "You can not ignore what goes on in the rest of the world.11does have an effect on the inside of this country (the U.S.). While we may definitely need you, you definitely need us," Tutu said. In a 25-minute question and answer session. Tutu addressed economic sanc­ tions, pointing out the accomplishments of the United States' past attempt to stop apartheid. Tutu said she believed that the sanc­ tions helped bring white leaders to the negotiating table with black leaders and See TUTU page 2 F OREIGN SPEAKER CITES PHILOSOPHY: Naomi Tutu, daughter of South African Archbishop Desmund Tutu, spoke at Farthing Auditorium on Feb. 27. Less than 100 people attended Tutu's speech, which is part of the Forum series, focusing on global perspectives in different areas. Tutu addressed global perspectives in economics. Five teams file to run for SGA president and vice president By RANDALL REENINK Appalachian Staff Writer Five teams have filed to run for SGA president and vice president this year. Candidates had until noon last Friday to declare their intentions. "Chip" Baggett, the chief Judicial Advocate, has filed to run for presi^t. His running mate is the current SGA Public Affairs Director, Terie McHale. Frank Cantrell, a junior business ma­ jor, also filed to run for SGA president. Cantrell was a senator from Cone Resi­ dence Hall his sophomoreyear. Sophmore Christina Miller will be his running mate. Miller is currently on the A.P.P.S. execu­ tive board. Director of State Affairs, Dan Gurley, will run for president with the Chair­ man of the Student Affairs Com­ mittee Doug Duncan running for vice president. Off-campus senators, Michael Miller and Dwayne Washington, have also filed to run. Juniors Cameron Roberts and Daniel Bozart will also share a ballot. Candidates for the office of president and vice president must meet several cri­ teria. Candidates must be full-time stu­ dents at ASU, be at least a junior when they take office and hold at least a 2.25 GPA. "Usually the candidates are senators and SGA cabinet members," said Randy Yelton, chief of staff for current SGA president, Daryl Ghent. However, being in the SGA is not a prerequsite to running for office. The possibility of someone winning a write-in campaign also exists. "The stu­ dent judicial branch would have settled something like that," said Yelton. "But the judicial branch has been dissolved. The senate would have to create a process (to resolve that situation)." By signing the candidacy declaration form, candidates agree to adhere to the rules and regulations pertaining to the election process. Those rules are found in the election by-laws of the senate. Some of the rules include no negative cam­ paigning and putting posters in certain areas. Senate law says that campaigns are not allowed to start until after Spring Break. "They can start one minute after midnight after break, if they want to," said Yelton. The SGA has planned two events for the candidates to meet the student body. First, a debate will be held in Legends on March 18. The debate is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. Secondly, on the afternoon of Wednesday, March 25, an informal meeting will be held on Sanford Mall. Students are invited to meet the candidates and to ask questions. Current SGA vice president Reggie Murphy will be the master of ceremonies for the event. The election dales this year will be March 25 and 26 in the student union for off-campus students and March 26 in the residence halls for on-campus students. Gardner against tuition increase By LISA MULUKIN Appalachian Copy Editor this NE'* STACKS TUITION INCREASE: Current Lt. Gov. Jim Gardner, who is also a N.C. gubernatorial candidate in Chi/631 S addressed a group of ASU student leaders Friday. Gardner adamantly renounced the state legislator's plan to 8e students out-of-state tuition who take more than four years to graduate. education. To do this, said Gardner, the curriculum in public schools should be changed. North Carolina Lt. Governor Jim Gardner told student leaders Friday he is against charging students who take longer than four years to graduate out-of-state tuition. "That is a bad idea, and in my opinion, will not fly in the General Assembly," Gardner said during a conference with students in the D. D. Doughtery Admin­ istration Building. "Whoever advocates that type of thing doesn't understand the make-up of the student bodies we have at our universities." Students, Gardner said, find it difficult to combine family responsibilities, jobs and different curriculums with achieving an education and graduating in four years. He believes students should be encour­ aged to stay in the university system and graduate and not be penalized after four years. Gardner said the state should encour­ age more students to go on to higher Gardner mentioned two possible changes. "First of all, enable them (students) to do better on SAT scores and, second of all, to be able to cut down remedial train­ ing that is costing a lot of money." Gardner also supports the Teaching Fellows program. These teachers are our only chance to save young students who have no parental involvement and come from a bad environment, Gardner said. "If we're going to change the problems in our society, we've got to do it through education," Gardner said. Gardner addressed another concern among students: the lack of funding for the library. According to Dawn Barker, SGA academic affairs chairperson, li­ brary resources increase between 8 to 15 percent annually, but state allocations for the library have not kept pace. In addition, the library is fourth on an administration list of important projects. Barker said. Gardner said the problem lies in an "antiquated system" used to prepare the state's $8 million budget. "Instead of basing (the budget)on solid fact, they guess at what it's going to be," Gardner said. "They guess what growth rate we're going to have next year with our economy, and they' vehad a very poor record of guessing what it's going to be." With this method, the General Assem­ bly overspends the actual tax income, which results in shortfalls, leaving little money for the library. Gardner favors a zero-based budget to cut excess spending in which each program isev aluated yearly to see if it achieved its purpose. If not, the program would be restructured. Gardner also said a priority system for education is needed. He cited an example of the lack of priorities for education: the construction of the new $35 million De­ partment of Public Instruction Office building in Raleigh when ASU does not have an adequate library. "The bottom line is that there's enough money in that S8 million budget to take See GARDNER page 2 ASG discusses proposed fifth-year tuition increase and election guidelines J^JRACY WILUARD News Editor University of North Carolina As°n of Student Governments met ^Chapel Hill to discuss the state 5fth >tUre S P'811 10 increase tuition for ^ ^eai college students, according to urley, director of state affairs for •chian s student government. jp'^SG is an association that has " .^^jives from all 16 University of North Carolina system schools. It meets monthly atits general administration head­ quarters in Chapel Hill. The state legislature's plan would charge students out-of-state tuition after their fourth year at state-supported col­ leges, if they do not graduate within four years. At the February meeting, the Board of Governors went on record as 100 per­ cent against any tuition increase, accord­ ing to Gurley. The legislature is expected to take action on this plan when it goes into short session in late May, according to Gurley. Another item discussed at the meeting was a request by the Board of Governors for S15 million in additional funds. "The reason the Board of Governors asked for this extra money is because revenue is running slightly ahead of pro­ jections," said Gurley. At the session in May, the Board of Governors will have a request ready for a S300 million bond referendum to be used for projects on all 16 campuses. "The legislature will have to go from committee to full legislature to be passed. If the legislature passes the referendum, it will be on the ballot for voters to decide in the November general election," said Gurley. Representatives at the ASG meeting also discussed the possibility of creating some type of uniformity within the UNC system for student body president and vice president elections. According to Gurley, this discussion will be continued at the next ASG meeting this month. "The reason this is being discussed is because the length of campaign time var­ ies from school to school," said Gurley. "At ASU campaigning is confined until after spring break, and it can only run for a week and a half followed by two day s of elections." The ASG is considering establish­ ing guidelines for student governments for another reason: the amount of money allotted to be spent varies. In some cases, there is no limit on spending money. Gurley said the spending cap at ASU is $500per ticket, with an additional $150 if a run-off is required. "The ASG isn't trying to meddle in campus elections. There is a sound reason behind this," said Gurley. "Each student body president of each 16 schools sits on that university's boardof trustees, and the general assembly delegates to the Board of Governors the power to regulate the indiv idual board of trustees at each school. Some uniformity within the election pro­ cess is desired for that reason." �The Appalachian Tttcsdn^ \[arrh ?

Another student concern that Gardner addressed was his plan for financial sup­ port for in-state students. Citing the lack of savings from past years and other demands for tax dollars, Gardner said, "I think it's going to be very, very hard, unlesssomething changes, to maintain our current level of support." Gardner said he hopes the business community will offer the financial sup­ port the state may not.

Across from Farmers Hardware 262-0200 �3 et cetera THE APPALACHIAN TUESDAY, March 3,1992 Outdoor Programs designs new event By CHRISTY LOHR Appalachian Staff Writer Student Programs, in affiliation with Appalachian's Outdoor Educational Council, has created an interesting new opportunity for the university's students: Appalachian Leadership School Outdoors. The main emphasis of this pro­ gram is to improve students' leadership potential and personal efficiency. ALSO, developed by Out­ door Programs, uses the wilderness as a tool in a four-day exercise to create more effective campus leaders. Based on the Outward Bound experience, the program forces participants to work together and, individually, to gain a better understanding of the need for cooperation and leadership in any organi­ zation. Dave Roberston and Joe Quinn, creators of ALSO, hope that the program will complement students' academic preparaton as well. Students should come away from the four days with more than just enhanced administrative skills. ALSO will begin with a half-day workshop in which participants will be tested using the MyersBrigg Type Indicator. Following this, in May, students will participate in a four-day camping trip involving hiking, rock climbing and a culminating solo experience. These things will allow students to surpass any limitations they have placed on themselves that would prevent them from becom­ ing effective leaders. One lactic of the program is to increase the participants' self-esteem through physical challenges. The students will carry this confidence into their leadership positions on cam­ pus. The program is scheduled for Thursday, May 14 through Sunday, May 17, and is open to Appala­ chian undergraduates with a cumulative GPA of 25 and a minimum of 15 hours. These students are expected to return to ASU full-time in the 92-93 academic year and use their newly developed lead­ ership skills in the Appalachiancommunity through recognized university organizations. Ten students will be chosen to attend and will be accompanied by two to three instructors and one faculty member. Selection will be based on appli­ cation materials and a short interview by the Appa­ lachian Outdoor Education Council. Applications can be obtained weekdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Outdoor Programs, 715 Rivers Street, or from the Office of Student Programs, room 204 of the Plemmons Student Union, and must be returned by March 27, 1992. There is no fee for the program. Participants will reassemble in the fall to evaluate the experience for future programs. Recycling Bin Boone fights for landmark ByCANDA F. SMITH Appalachian Et Cetera Editor Spring Break is close, and once we get through the millions of mid-terms, take-home exams, papers and pages of dull non-fiction, we cm relax in a week's worth of non-school relaxed nothing. Last year my fearless comrades and I visited Ihe Daytona Beach scene with the rest of the Harley Davidson convention—its big 50th umiversary. Everything that could go wrong with our cars, did. When it wasn't raining, we were afraid to step outside of our room for fear of the hairy men in black T-shirts. By ALLISON KAY BRIDEN Appalachian Staff Writer Nonetheless, we had an incredible time. It took all of our will power not to buy tacky fluorescent memoirs to store away so we would remember our adventures one day. My point is that you can have a wonderful time with friends or even by yourself on break, regardless of what you do. I've thought of some imaginative plans for nudents to embark on instead of beaching the break, getting really drunk, and picking up questionable characters of the opposite sex. Don't deny it—this pastime is a popular one unong the ages of 15-? However, at some point in our lives, we simply don't have the funds to take a hotel/pool/beach vacation. If the cash flow sends you home to Mom and Dad, there are still many options. The prerequisite to the following activity is Ihe knowledge of guitar playing. Take a hat and i guitar, wear shorts for the faux beach tan, carry i coffee cup and sit on a main street playing tunes with the hat covering your face (in case your grandmother walks by). Maybe you'll earn money instead of spending it. Or you may get lirge rotten pieces of garden debris thrown in your general direction. Open your own 1-900-976-want-to-hear-agood-time number for a week. I'm not sure how you would go about opening one for just a week, but talk to the advertising managers of Jay Leno ot Divid Letterman. Go to the mall and play in the perfume. Make your ex-boyfriend's spring break miserable. Cancel his plane ticket home and CTedit card. For other ideas refer to this month's Cosmo." This idea is a tiny bit immature and should only be used discreetly for vengeful females leaving the country shortly. If it rains, find a large puddle and name it Walden's pond. Take a seat, wear shorts(for that fen), and read Dr. Seuss books. Throw a late Mardi Gras party so everyone can dress up and then throw up. Plant a tree and watch it grow. Attempt to cycle to the beach, and see how far you get. I only advise this to masochists who like 'be smell of Bengay and who like putting their bodies through hell.

Spelunking expedition offers underground adventure By USA MULLIKIN Appalachian Copy Editor Want to become a walking mud puddle? Go spelunking. Spelunking is actually cave exploration. Out­ door Programs sponsors caving trips throughout the year with added trips in November and Febru­ ary. For S10, a student is given caving gear to wear on the trip, a picnic lunch, transportation to the cave and two certified caving instructors. Outdoor Programs sponsors caving trips to four different caves. Before each trip they get permis­ sion to beon the private property the cave is located on. Each cave is different in structure and length; however, caves keep a relatively constant tempera­ ture of 55 degrees Fahrenheit year round. Take a survey on the recession, and send the ^ t0 Bush. This is the easiest task so far: ^ 0 ^ Tmd a summer job. need for cash during break, just imagina- R ^il°r S nole: w a sophomore from majoring in English education. Caves were formed from a limestone vein mil­ lions of years ago. Caves in this area were created when the continental plates hit to form the Appala­ chian mountains. Water came through the rocks and wore out the cave. People go caving for many different reasons: the challenge, the curiosity or just to get dirty. "I thought we were going to walk around the cave, but we crawled on our hands and knees through mud," said spelunker Robert Love. "I wanted to go caving, because I want­ ed to experience all the mountain activities be­ fore I leave in May," said caver Mark Burkey. "I hope to do many more outdoor programs this year." People don't have to be in perfect physical condition to spelunk. but it makes the trip more enjoyable. While caves themselves are not very long, climbing and crawling are important aspects of caving. A total of208 people have participated in caving trips this year, making Outdoor Programs' spe­ lunking program one of the largest in the country, said Bain Gill, program coordinator for Outdoor Programs. "You're going to a protected environment that few people get to see or understand," said Gill. "There are also many beautiful mineral forma­ tions." While safety is aconcern among many first-time spelunkers, Gill said Outdoor Programs places safety first. Caving instructors participate in a staff training course in which the emphasis is on the prevention of problems. Instructors carry three sources of light into the cave, make sure partici­ pants wear sturdy boots, only go to familiar caves and keep track of how long the group is in the cave, said Gill. "We try to teach people cave safety," Gill said. "If you do something that was safe and fun, you'll want to do it again." Outdoor Programsprovides spelunkers with hard hats with lights attached. Hiking boots with good traction are recommended since the cave floor is made up of mud and rocks, and old clothes are usually wom since they will become covered in mud. The National Spelunking Society is a group that gets together to explore different caves. The group is safety and ecologically conscious. A spelunking motto Gill recommends to all cave explorers is to "take only pictures, leave only footprints, and kill only time."

Grandfather Mountain is in danger of being developed. Tracts of land now privately owned are under consideration for sale. Construction on 300 acres of land may be imminent. John Williams and Hugh Morton, owners of the Wilmor Tract, which is classified by the Nature Conservancy as having "global ecological impor­ tance," are considering developing the tract. Ad­ jacent to the Wilmor Tract is the McLean Tract, which a local group is attempting to protect from similar plans. Friends of Grandfather Mountain, originally formed in 1988 to cam­ paign against develop­ ment of 1,200 acres of land on Grandfather Mountain, is making ef­ forts to purchase the threatened areas. GrandfatherMountain is a valuable area to the community as a tourist attraction and as a unique natural area. The Stale Heritage Program and the Nature Conservancy have both collected scientific evidence in surveys on the Wilmor Tract. Included in the findings was the presence of five critically endangered species and 20 state endangered spe­ cies of flora and fauna. Friends of Grandfather Mountain states its cur­ rent goal is to protect, by any legal means, the entire threatened 1,500 acres. This area comprises a unique, fragile and essential ecosystem that would be destroyed by any development. The group hopes to be able to purchase the land and allow use of it as a wildlife sanctuary and a nature education preserve. Miles Tager, executive director of the group, believes an agreement can be reached between the conservationists and owners on a price for the land, but the aid of federal groups such as the Audobon Society or the Nature Conser­ vancy may be needed. If not, Tager said legal action would be taken and support would be called for by the community to pressure the owneis. Until a decision is reached, the group will continue its daily activities of raising awareness and funds. John Meacham, an Appalachian State stu­ dent, worked at Grand­ father Mountain this past summer as a ranger. Meacham became famil­ iar with the area through his work in trail main­ tenance, building, pa­ trolling and checking hiking and climbing permits. He agrees that the area is unique, "like an island of unique plant life," where the altitude permits growth of fauna similar to that found in a Canadian forest. Meacham's reaction to the possibility of development to the area is that it would be a shame, and he "would hate to see the Shanty Spring Trail wiped out." If the land in consideration were developed, this trail would be lost. About 15-20 miles of trails are in the Grandfather Mountain area. The development would threaten not only exist­ ing trails but also the unique and endangered spe­ cies of plants and animals living there. gional. The ski team undoubtedly deserves this recogni­ tion. The members have struggled through many practices and stressful races to achieve their goals. Coached by Juan Olivieri, the team began prac­ ticing on dry land several months before the slopes opened. Conditioning, strength and agility were emphasized to prepare members for the demand­ ing practices and races on the snow. When the actual ski team season arrived, the team began practicing at Beech Mountain twice a week for several hours. A combination of free skiing and drills made up the practices, as well as running the actual gates. To qualify for the team, members must have a 2.0 grade point average and must take 12 credit hours per semester. No racing experience is re­ quired. The ASU ski team races in the southerndivision. They compete against suchschools as Lees McRae, North Carolina State University, Duke, the Uni­ versity of Tennessee and the University of the South. Appalachian and Lees McRae have a slight advantage over the other schools because of the easier access to the local resorts. One of the main problems the team faces is the lack of school funding. Since it is considered a club sport instead of a varsity sport, members must rely on their own fundraising to pay for coaching fees and other expenses. To raise money, the team participates in "Laps for Apps," sells raffle tickets, and runs Appalachian's annual swap shop. The swap shop, which usually takes place betw een late November See SKI page 4 SKI TEAM: Pictured are the Southeastern Conference Champions of 1992.

Morrison also clocked 7.10 in the 55 meters to win and finished third in the long jump at 19-5.5. For her outstand­ ing performances in all of these events, she was declared conference athlete-ofthe-year. Senior Lynette Gardin totaled two firsts for ASU, establishing a conference record in the 400 meters with a time of 56.55, bettering the former mark of 58.28,and clocked 24.93 to win the 200 meters. Gardin was also a member of the second place mile relay team with Monica Tee­ ter, Carrie Robinson and Tonie Lazenby, who clocked 3:57.47. Gardin also took fifth in the 55 meters at 7.29. "I was very, very proudof Melissa and Lynette for their conference record per­ formances. They each performed excep­ tionally," Weaver said. Other first pi ace finishes for ASU came from seniors Leigh Wallace and Mich­ elle Rhyne and the two mile relay team. Wallace clocked 17:07.82 in the 5,000 and finished second in the 3,000 at 10:02.39. Rhyne heaved a throw of 419.25 in the shot put to post the first ever win in this event for ASU. Julie Ander­ son, Tania Free, Carrie Hogg and Jessica Par khan teamed to clock 9:34.06 in the two mile relay to place first for the Lady Apps. Anderson also finished fourth in the mile at 5:13.8, while Free and Hogg finished fourth and sixth respectively in the 800 meters with times of 2:18.19 and 2:27.01 Precious Quire, named conference freshman-of-the-year, finished in theonly other second placeposition for ASU with a jump of 39-9.75 in the triple jump and placed fifth in the high jump at 18-1.75. Other third place finishers for the Lady Apps included Teeter and Alicia Foust.

All of the competitors who placed in the top three weTe named all-conference for their performances. Weaver noted his happiness with allof the seniors on the squad whom he be­ lieved "really came through for us and did a super job in pulling things together for another championship." Lady Mountaineers fall 78-73 at Furman in season-ending tilt By SHANNON MCGINNIS Appalachian Staff Writer The ASU Lady Mountaineer basketBall team lost to Furman on Friday, Feb. 28. by a final score of 78 - 73. The Lady Mountaineers have con­ cluded the regular season and finished with a 9-17 overall record. Appalachian Slate wound up the conference slate with •5-5 league mark. Appalachian is now fourth in theSouthem Conference. The Lady Mountaineers could have clinched the third-place spot in the league with a victory over the Lady Paladins. Head Coach Linda Robinson de­ scribed the first half of the game as "nip and tuck." Forward Regina Ikard, the second leading scorer for Appalachian, and forward Jeanne Coker played only 10 minutes of the game because they each picked up three fouls early in the first half. The first half ended with the Lady Paladins owning a 40-35 lead over the Lady Mountaineers.. The Lady Apps were plagued by poor field goal shooting in the first half, as they connected on just 39 percent of their at­ tempts from the floor. Furman also struggled in the first half, as the Lady Paladinsonly sank 45 percent of their field goal attempts. In the first half, Appalachian shot fivefor-five from the free throw line, while the Lady Paladins were hindered by a sixof-11 fnrm the charity stripe.

Apfitltchitn Photo by Keith Jeckeon FRUSTRATING DAY FOR THE APPS: ASU senior point guard Rodney Peel glides to the basket during Saturday's game against East Tennessee Slate. The Buccaneers scored a 70-63 triumph over the Mountaineers. If Appalachian State's men's basket­ ball team had to use one word to describe its feelings following Saturday's 70-63 loss to arch-rival East Tennessee State, it would undoubtedly be frustration. Frustration over losing to the Bucca­ neers for the ninth straight time. Frustra­ tion over losing five games in the confer­ ence and 13 games overall this season, the same season that was billed in preseason as potentially the best ever for ASU bas­ ketball. Frustration over the fact that Calvin Talford, the athletic senior guard from East Tennessee State, was not only able to play Saturday after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery last Monday, but actually ended up being the late-game hero for the Bucs, making five-of-six free throws in the final 33 seconds to seal ASU's doom. So frustrating was Saturday's loss, that Mountaineer Head Coach Tom Apke and his players were unanimous: that one key play could have turned the tide in Appalachian's favor. With the Apps trailing 61-58, ASU's Rodney Peel and Jeff Williams trapped Talford near the midcourt line. Peel reached around and knocked the ball away from Talford then scooped it up and went in for what appeared to be an easy breakaway 1ayup. Talford, however, man­ aged to close in on Peel and bothered his shot just enough to cause the miss. Wil­ liams missed the tap follow and ETSU cleared away the rebound. When the dust settled, ETSU's Jason Niblett was shooting two free throws, Appalachian forward Ricky Nedd had picked up his fifth foul, and, after Niblett made both free throws, the Buccaneers owned a five-point lead with 1:32 to play. "I saw him (Talford) coming, so I tried to keep him from going over my back and blocking the shot," Peel said of the criti­ cal breakaway. "I felt a little nudge in my back and thought I was fouled, but it wasn'tmy call to make. The refereedidn't think it was afoul, so I don't guess it was." ETSU, thanks' in part to ASU's is turnovers and poor offensive execution, got off to an early 13-4 lead five minutes into the contest The Mountaineers an­ swered with a 10-4 run to trim the lead to 17-14 at the 9:49 mark, but that would be as close as Appalachian would get in the first half. ASU (14-13, 9-5) twice went longer than two minutes without scoring, as the Bucs went on to lead by as many as 14 before heading into the locker room with a 34-24 advantage. "For us, I thought we were so pumped and had so much emotion early in the game we just couldn't do anything offen­ sively," Apke said after the game. In the second half, the Mountaineers were able to keep the Bucs from going on one of their trademark runs, and kept the deficit between six and 11 points before finally cuttu.g the ETSU lead to single digits for good when Billy Ross scooped one in off the board to make the score 5748 with over seven minutes remaining. Ross went to the line after getting fouled by Rodney English on the play and missed the free throw, but therebound was tipped « to Tony Thompson, who drilled a 15-foot jump shot to pull the Apps within seven. From there, the Mountaineers went on an 8-4 run over the next five minutes to make the score 61-58 and set up Peel's fast break attempt. "I'm proud of the way we fought back and thought we did a lot of neat things in the second half," Apke said. "The story qf the game from our standpoint was missed opportunities. The play of the game was Rodney's breakaway where he slowed down to try and draw the foul." After the missed breakaway, the Bucs (21-6, 12-2) began their foul line odyssey, making nine-of-12 free throws in the final 1:32 to staveoff any flickering Moun­ taineer hopes. In their final appearances in Varsity Gym, the senior trio of Peel, Powers and Spur lock managed to connect on only 11 of 36 field goal attempts, including just one-for-10 from three-point range. Spur lock did finish with 16 points and 15 rebounds before fouling out with one sec­ ond left. Peel had nine points, five assists and three steals, but Powers failed to score in 22 minutes of action. Ross led ASU with 18. English led the Buccaneers with 21 points and six rebounds. Greg Dennis scored 15 points, and Talford finished with nine points and eight rebounds. "I think the big surprise for us was that Calvin was able to play," ETSU Head Coach Alan LeForce said. "I didn't have a clue that he'd be able to play. We really intended for him to come back in the tournament but he said that he felt like he could play and the doctor said his knee was fine to play. �The Appalachian. Tuesday Mnrrfr ? joa?

Tne-wwening of this frequently used blacktop is gravely needed; however, the DOT does not plan to construct the addition until 1998. Although planning for the wider 105 Connector has been completed, rightof-way acquisition will not begin until 1996. This is to long too wait. The project should be given top priority, and construction should begin immedi­ ately. The 105 Extension connects two of the major highways in Boone. Highway 421 is four lanes as it joins the 105 Connector. The extension joins Highway 321, a five-lane project. It also intersects with a five-lane highway 105. These major highways should not be connected with two lanes of congestion. The 105 Extension is a major bottleneck that must be corrected soon. The small stretch of highway handles far more than it was designed to accommodate each day. The road serves as a truck route for trucks and trailers travelling through Boone. It also serves as a bypass around the campus and away from the downtown area. According to the Final Environmental Impact Statement completed in 1990, the 105 Connector was designed to handle 12,500 vehicles per day. At that time the .9 mile stretch of road handled 18,300 to 23,800 vehicles per day, vastly more traffic than it was paved to accommodate. > The widening of421,321 and 105 havebeen welcome additions to the Boone area. The widening of 105 Extension will also be a welcome site, as it is gravely needed. Watauga County continues to grow, as does Appalachian State. This growth will not subside over the next six years. Such growth will cause the 105 Extension to continue to be a problem—a problem which should be amended as soon as possible. Neither the people of Watauga county, the students of ASU, nor the tourists visiting the High Country should be forced to endure this situation any longer. Plans have been made to correct the situation. Those plans should be enacted soon. The great citizens of this area should not suffer another six years. The lime to correct this problem is now, not more than half a decade from today. College isn't the same as it used to be. The educational plan for bachelor's degree candidates used to be nine years of elementary school, four years of high school, and four years of college. Exceptions were very few. People who went to college went for four years—that was it. There was a clearly defined freshman year, sophomore year, junior year and senior year. Terms such as third-semester junior and fifth-year senior were nearly unheard of. This situation existed when our parents were in college, in the '50s and '60s. Accounting was, for all practical purposes, the only program that lasted longer than four years. Within the past few years, however, things have changed drastically. Now, most -students take five years to receive their bachelor's de­ grees. Several reasons exist for Hateghange, one of them oeing more course requirements, both in general college and in different majors. BecawtSf suffer requirements, students may have trouble getting the courses they need to graduate in eight semesters. The state of North Carolina is considering a plan in which any student taking longer than eight semesters to graduate from a state-funded institution would be re­ quired to pay out-of-state tuition. This plan is designed to eliminate in-state students who could possibly graduate in four years from taking advantage of state funds by staying in school longer than necessary. No, people should not be lazy. No one should be able to mooch off someone else, the state or whomever, so that he or she can stay in school and vegetate rather than getting out in the real world. It makes me just as angry as the next person to see lazy people taking advantage of the government, their parents, or whom­ ever. It bothers me to see people who don't graduate on time, because they complain that they can't handle an academic load of more than, say, 14 hours: yet, when I must say 1 am one of the luci^r Ates; I am getting out in eight semesters without summer school, with a French education major and a business minor. I am able to do so because I placed into a fairly high level in French, and I have never taken less than 15 hours in any semester. However, I am working hard to get out of school in four years because of my parents, not because of the North Carolina state government. My parents pay my tuition, and I don't want them to have to pay for me to be in school any longer than four years. Using state funds to go to school would not be of any concern to me if I wanted to stay in school longer, since state funds come from my pocket and that of my parents in the first place. Another thing the state government must realize before it tries to implement such a ridiculous plan is that more and more majors are programmed for five or more years. Accounting is a prime example. The ac­ counting program was recently boosted from five to six years. Music is another example, music education par­ the military or into unemployment and the homeless? Instead of putting missiles into silos, why not just bury a few million dollars in a hole some­ where? To coin a phrase "same difference!" Congress currently has the right to question any Republican proposals in the way of economic reform due to these transgressions forced on the public in the past. As for the debate over quotas, you can argue either way. Those who support them are accused of reverse discrimination, and those who don't are called racist There is no simple answer, yet Democrats have done more to break down these racist and sexist barriers than have their counterparts. In 1984, Mondale had a female for a running mate, and at the same time a black presidential candidate gained some political ground under the Democratic banner. By GARY LARSON Democrat reader strikes back at letter To the Editor: Evidently Mr. Meyer and his fellow cosigners blindly follow their political parties in blatant disregard of their own common sense (Feb. 13/Republicans did not deserve criticism). The arguments they pose are built upon an extremely weak foundation, much like the policies of the Republican party itself. In the days before feathers The money that goes into state-supported schools belongs to the people of the slate. It doesn't come from God for the government to dictate how to spend. If you are from North Carolina, state money that sup ports ASU comes from you and me. If we want to stay in school longer than four years and pay in-state tuition, we are not mooching off the government so we won't have to get out in the real world. We are using the money we've already given to the government. We cannot be made to pay out-of-state tuition when the government is using the tax money we paid to supgsgfeour state univer­ sities. ticularly. The bachelor of music degree requires 135 hours of coursework. one hundred and thirty-five hours translates into an average of 17 hours of coursework per semester. This course load isn't impossible. However, if the student is also trying to hold down a job, as many students do because they either can't or don't want to mooch off their parents, taking 17 hours can be very difficult. If the student can afford to take 17 hours and not work, wonderful. However, the stale government must realize that for the majority of people, this isn't the case. Other majors with programs requiring more coursework than anyone could reasonably complete in four years include elementary and middle grades educa­ tion and almost any degree program in the College of Business. The state government must also consider how long it takes people to double-major. With so many majors in and of themselves taking longer than four years, adding another major to the original one means an even greater amount of additional time in school. A double major may make a person more marketable. There is no reason why in-state students who want to make themselves more marketable should have to pay out-of-state tuition in order to do so. Also, many students get behind because they change their majors, particularly if the change in major comes during the junior or senior year. Changes this late in the school career should be avoided as much as possible; however, they do happen, and students who change their majors this late in the game should not be punished by having to pay out-of-state tuition. The state wants the power to refuse 64 fund state university students after the eighth semester. If the money came from somewhere other than the pockets of the very people who are being refused funding, the story would be different. However, state university funds come from the pockets of state citizens. When the state citizens who pay the taxes that fund state universities decide to take longer than eight semesters to get their degrees, for whatever reason, the state has no right to refuse them in-state tuition. The funding that makes in­ state tuition possible comes directly from the pockets of state citizens. Some people stay in school longer than four years for reasons that could be avoided. However, some people genuinely need to be in school longer due to the field in which they are getting a degree, a double major, a need to work and go to school at the same time, or a change in the major. Whatever student reasons may be, the slate does not have the right to play God and refuse the student advantages which have already been paid for by their taxes. Democrat questions Republican contributions Editor's note: Those interested in seeing this project accelerated, can write to John Beall, member of the Transportation Board, North Carolina Departnem of Transportation, P.O. Box 2400, Lenoir N.C. 28645. The project is considered TIP Project # U-2202 (NC105 Connector) by the DOT and should be referred to as such in any correspondence.The Appalachian joins the Boone Town Council, the Watauga County Commissioners, Boone Chamber of Commerce and ASU in vying for support for this project. THE FAR SIDE springtime rolls around these same people spend about 75 percent of their waking hours sunbathing or play­ ing volleyball or throwing a ffisbee. In these particu­ lar cases, if these students would study a fraction of the time they spend goofing off, they would have no trouble handling a heavier course load and getting out sooner. However, this is a moot point. (And. by the way, I have nothing against sunbathing, playing volleyball or throwing frisbees, in and of themselves.) The fact is we can't make an in-state student pay out-of-state tui­ tion just because they refuse to apply themselves and try to get out of school within a reasonable period of time. State funding for universities comes from state taxes. People who apply themselves and people who don't, pay the same state taxes. Therefore, when students pay in-state tuition after their eighth semester, for whatever reason they are still in school, they are not receiving handouts from the govern­ ment in order to stay in school. Rather, the students are getting back the money they have already given to the government through taxes. Their first claim is that the Demo­ crats are at fault for the present condition of the economy. They go on to state that "Bush, like Reagan before him, has proposed bold new plans that would spur the economy." Was it not Reaganomics that fertilized the federal deficit to its present statute as well as aid in bringing about the recession we now face? How many of the rich got richer under Republican policies as the poor got poorer? What was more important to Reagan, investment into In the meantime the Republicans have rejected a proposed bill for four to six weeks of unpaid maternity leave for workers to ensure they had a job to return to. Heie in the Tarheel state a "respectable" GOP striving for re­ election to the senate launched a vicious mud-slinging campaign against his opponent on the fact he was black. This proves that David Duke is the perfect Republican nominee. Numerous times in the past various environmental bills have been delivered to the president for endorsement yet met a veto (Clean Air bill. Clean Water bill) due to infringement on the right of factories to pollute as they produce. Even when a bill is signed, it usually has little effect due to unrealistic time limits or unusual circumstances. Only recently due to public attention and fear of a hole in the ozone layer has the date for the extinction of ozone depleting materials been moved up. This shows how much the Republicans "care" about the environment. Finally for the most mistaken conviction of Mr. Meyer's and friends' argument. The presidency is a two-way street; both domestic and foreign policies need its attention. This the Republican party itself has proven. Was it not Reagan who coined the term "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?" Apparently the president can take the credit when the economy is seemingly prosperous, yet when the feces hits the fan, it's Congress' fault. As for the foreign policy, your list of accomplishments is absurd. What did our present holder of the executive office have to do with the collapse of the Soviet Union, Arab-Israeli peace talks, the ending(?) of apartheid, and the surge of democracy in Eastern Europe? Sure Hussein was stopped, but who gave him his weapons in the first place? May we also give the president credit for Tienimen Square, Yugoslavia's civil war and the expanse of an international drug trade? Other than Desert Shield/Storm, what else has the president really accomplished? Probably the same as Mr. Meyer's letter: nothing. Robert Robertson ASU Box 15550 Organization writes regarding article To the Editor: What follows is a copy of a letter I sent to Captain Stephen Perry, traffic supervisor of the University Police Force. Dear Capt. Perry, This is a letter concerning the tickets I have gotten in the last couple of weeks. I have a registered automobile for anywhere on the campus (other than reserved spots) and can't understand the sudden influx of tickets. I know your budget is tight, and students should not be allowed to park where they are not allowed, but I have received S45 in tickets within a month's time, and that is ridiculous. This is not New York City. I can't believe you have all these traitors working for you for $4.25 per hour. I'd like to see how many tickets they'd write if you weren't paying them. We are here to receive an education, not a parking ticket. I went to the library tonight at 7 p.m., past when all the main traffic and your ticket writers had gone home. I parked in a service space that obviously would not be used until tomorrow and was there only a couple of minutes. But sure enough when I came out there was a lovely yellow trademark of yours on my windshield. I'm sorry, but I'm fed up. I pay quite a bit of money to attend this school, as well as S70 to park here. This ticket writing is out of hand. If you need the extra money, then charge S5 more for stickers. You must realize that we are the future of this school as alumni. If we don't help promote and support ASU, there will be a serious stagnation in the growth of this institution. I've already warned my sister off because of precisely what you do. I know of many attacks and other forms of violence that have occurred on this campus and believe that some of them could have been prevented if you weren't writing a ticket somewhere! Why can't you have your force concentrate more on the well-being of the students rather than victimize them and take all their money? It might as well be robbery, because what am I going to do? You've already taken S35 out of my paychecks up here simply because I work for ASU. I may be young and lacking in the power it takes to fight you, but I assure you that 10 * years down the road it will be a different story. The police should be friends of the public, but here it seems like all you guys want to do is take away our lunch money. I assure you that I will remember, and you can mark my words that there will be a day when I will be able to return all your favors! , This may seem like a hostile letter, • * but I would like you to take this letter seriously, because that is the way it is intended. You may have your rules (and we must have them) but everything is not always as black and white as you think. Craig Robertson �a.

When you go out during the evening or after dark, do you feel it a necessity to take precautions against vio­ lent crimes such as burglary or rape? Many students would say they feel safe here, but few, most likely, would go out after dark without taking precautions. In the 1990-91 academic year one rape was reported, but according to Tugman, the incident was determined to be false. In the same year, there were 12 burglar­ ies, four aggravated assaults, one at­ tempted robbery and one motor vehicle theft. According to Tugman, so far in the 1991-92 school year there have been no reported rapes, robberies or aggra­ vated assaults. The number of burglaries, however, increased to 18. There has been one motor vehicle theft so far this school year. As for incidences of reported rapes, Tugman admits the rate herehas remained very low, and events here are not reflect­ SGA balanced ing the increases elsewhere in the nation. At University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill there was a 100 percent in­ crease in reported rapes over the past three years, said LL Marcus Perry, secu­ rity officer at UNC Chapel Hill. According to recent law, all college campuses will have to publish all records of violent crime. The first reports are to be published in August of this year and docu­ ment all reports since the beginning of 1990. It will be only then when we can truly see how we fare compared to other schools both in North Carolina and across the United States in rates of rape and violent crime as a whole. Over the past three years ASU security has been slowly upgrading, according to Director of Public Safety Roy Tugman. During this period, security has increased officers and the foot patrol at night. More officers are now present at school func­ tions and events including those on-campus events atThe Pub, Legends and at ball games. Tugman discussed the improvements that have taken place over the past three years. First, the number of blue light call systems across campus has increased from seven to 19. More lights have been placed around campus, especially in the parking areas. Horn in the West is now much more lit than it used to be, and closed circuit televisions are also being used on some lots, Tugman said. The Chapel Hill campus has many of the same devices we have at ASU; they use call boxes and cameras, also. Violent crime over the same period rose there 27 percent, but again, one should look at the individual stats. Perry said the increase is not necessarily I 21 See ASU page 4 Til tu Murphy says platform goals achieved that there are enough votes on the town By AMANDA NELSON council to pass a referendum, allowing Appalachian News Editor for a voter decision.

This year, Appalachian security took advantage of a state legislative act which allowed security officers to become ac­ tual police. At UNC-CH, theofficers have been police for several years. "We are doing the same things we've been doing for years," Tugman explained. The dif­ ference, he said, was that they have belter access to other law enforcement officers in Boone and Watauga County. speaks ASU News Bureau Appalachian Photo by HurxKll ttnnink UMBRELLAS SAVE THE DAY: Rainy weather has been abundant in Boone this week. Umbrellas could be seen all over Appalachian's campus yesterday as students walked to class over slick steps and soggy ground. More cloudy weather is expected to be abundant into the weekend. Naomi Tutu, daughter of Archbishop Desmond Tutu and an executive of the World Bank, will speak Feb. 27 at Appa­ lachian State University. The 8 p.m. forum in Farthing Audito­ rium will address aspects of "Global Per­ spectives on Economics" in underdevel­ oped nations. Admission is free. Call the office of cultural affairs at 262-2850 for more information. Tutu earned a double major in French and economics from Berea College and a master'sdegree in international economic development from the Patterson School of Diplomacy. She received an honorary doctorate from the Universal Orthodox College in Ogan State, Nigeria for her opposition to apartheid. » Tutu is pursuing a doctorate in interna­ tional development at the London School of Economics. She is also a visiting pro­ fessor at the University of Hartford in Connecticut. Throughout her career, Tutu has as­ sisted her father's efforts to oppose apart­ heid. She has also helped South African refugees through her work as chair of the Tutu Foundation, a post she held from 1985 to 1990. Tutu continues to work with the foun­ dation as a member of its advisory board. Her work with the foundation stresses aid in the form of education for those dis­ placed from their homes. Since 1979, Tutu has made many public addresses across the country concerning South Africa at high schools, churches,colleges and universi­ ties. She has received awards and honors from numerous organizations including the California State Legislature, the Ken­ tucky State Branches of the NAACP, the Boston City Council, Who's Who of Af­ ricans in America and from "Dollars and Sense Magazine."

The survey did list work, along with liking Appalachian, not wanting to leave ASU, and a desire to lessen academic pressure, as other common reasons for extended study. It was noted that students in their fifth year were likely to cite work for graduat­ ing late and third-year students were likely to list scheduling problems.

The tense standoff at the General Store resulted in a Jan. 16 restraining order against the university that will remain in effect while the two sides negotiate whether the co-op should remain affili­ ated with the school or continue to con­ duct business on campus as an outside vendor. Winifred Cox, director of university communications, said the co-op's locks were changed early Jan. 15 after adminis­ trators had asked several times for busi­ ness records that the students had refused to relinquish. According to administrators, a prelimi­ nary review several months ago revealed questionable cash register mistakes, three loans to store employees and a lack of proper documentation of vendor pay­ ments. Vice ChancellorTom Tucker said the information spurred his office to order a formal audit.

All of the parties involved in the 1981 desegregation suit, includ-ing the schools named in the order, Gov. Guy Hunt and the state university system, have 90 days to report on their plans to comply with the judge's order. Murphy s 1,000-page order is a result of a second trial over the case. After the first trial in 1985 a judge ruled that rem­ nants of segregation did exist in the Ala­ bama system, but he was removed from the case in 1987 by an appellate court because he was involved in segregation issues as a former state lawmaker. Attorney Rob Hunter, who represents the governor and stale education and fi­ K CJCr( i wi Classifieds judge orders segregation elimination cpsy-in what nance officials, says the state does not want to appeal Murphy's decision, but state officials are concerned about find­ ing the means to provide the $20 million to Alabama A&M and Alabama State in a time of budget cutbacks. "We are trying to determine if we can do this," Hunter said. "It will be difficult to come up with these funds." Alabama A&M officials were unavail­ able for comment, as was John Knight, an administrator at Alabama State, one of several whooriginally filed the suit against the state. Plaintiffs in the case argue that Ala­ bama historically has had twoeducational systems—one black, one white—and the black schools have received substantially less money than the white schools. A similar desegregation lawsuit in Mississippi is now before the Supreme Court. Louisiana also has a suit pending within the stale. From a legal standpoint, however, the Alabama decision has no impact of the Supreme Court. ' louse attacks ban on race-based scholarships noret de.kfc pS)—A new Department of Education roac4 ^ pljcy bars universities from awarding . jiolirships based solely on race. The 1 -v has been attacked as "legally in i : exportable" by a House panel, fhe administration has reversed de­ fies ofcivil rights progress by opposing attempts to correct past and present ijusiices suffered by minority students, jdRep. Ted Weiss (D-N.Y.), chairman ,| [he Human Resources and ^governmental Relations Subcommits [hat issued the report. In announcing the ban on race-specific cholarships in December, Education taetary Lamar Alexander emphasized tono student who has a scholarship will «ii because of the new policy. He also otedthat scholarships can continue to be ad by colleges to attract students if the Warships are based on a number of Ktors, such as economic background, — — ographic location and race. Hie primary result of the move will |ppredominantly white colleges from Ifering scholarships based solely on race itncourage enrollment of minorities. ffee 5~ )ff of Race can still be considered in a scholar­ ship, as long as it is "one factor among several. About 2 million students re­ ceive minority scholarships, but only 45,000 have race-specific scholarships. A review of race-specific scholarships was undertaken by the Education Depart­ ment after a department official warned Fiesta Bowl officials about offering $100,000 in minorityscholarships to Loui­ siana and Alabama universities if their football teams would play the game. The House report, "The Fiesta Bowl Fiasco: Department of Education's At­ tempt to Ban MinorityScholars hi ps,"recommends that thedepartment continue to uphold the legality of race-specific schol­ arships as an affirmative action tool. It also suggests that Alexander and other administrators develop initiatives to strengthen enforcement of civil rights laws. The report claims that race-specific scholarships are backed by the C ivil Righ ts Act of 1964, the Supreme Court and the Department of Education's own regula­ tions. r One unclear area of the new policy regards academic awards exclusively for minority students. For example, about 200 black students receive $1 million from 50 colleges under the National Achievement Scholarships for Outstand­ ing Negro Students, a program of the National Merit Scholarship Corp. of Evanston, 111. The academic merit grants, which have been awarded since 1964, are specifically for black students. The new policy appears to say that a college can't use its own funds for raceexclusive scholarships, but may accept private donations for minority-specific grants. According to the Department of Education's public relations office, if a private donation comes in for a minorityspecific scholarship, the university cannot contribute any funds to that amount. There also remains some question about whether colleges can solicit such outside, gifts for minority students. A final ver­ sion of the rules is expected to be issued after March. 1 February 27. 1992 WALK TO CLASSES. 2 BR. 2 BATH. WASH/DRY, dishwasher, disposal, furnished for 4.

Come Live Life For Today ASU Continued from page ASU students have different opinions on the safety here on campus. Paula Crowe, a transfer student and junior from Bervard Community College, compared the size of Appalachian to her former school. She said that Bervard was small with only "a couple of security guards here and there." There were no instances of reported rape during her two years at Bre­ vard Community College, Crowe said. She said she felt safe there, but she took some safety precautions. Here, however, she would never go anywhere alone. Sheryl Lynch, a transfer student from the University of Illinois at Chicago, said she never felt safe there and she remem­ bers the security not being tight. She said she feels a great deal safer here, but she still takes precautions. Lynch thinks the location of her old school was an impor­ tant factor in the crime there, but she acknowledges that crime is everywhere. SGA n T H A T IV* A Continued ffom page 1 In the past.

It's Shakespeare's closest approach to the "masque," an elaborate form of enter­ tainment in 16th and 17th century performed chiefly by The play is an enticing blend of magic, enchantment and confusion, highlighting the fairies' whimsical aspects of love and the nuisance of fairy mischief. The lighthearted and enjoyable spoof raises many serious questions about love and commit­ ment, which help explain the play's wide appeal. The play is directed by Joe Dowling, the renowned Irish director who was the youngest individual ever appointed artis­ tic director at Dublin's Abbey Theatre. He held that post from 1978 to 1986, when he became managing director of the Gaiety Theatre of Dublin. While there, he founded The Gaiety School of Acting, Ireland's only full-time independent drama conserva­ tory. Dowling's directorial approach to the production focuses on the deep levels of meaning within thecomedy, without aban­ doning its hilarious characters and count­ less jokes. The company's presentation explores the dream world, a dangerous and liberat­ ing place where the characters escape from the strict conventions endured as members of Athenia's court. Their flight into the woods enables the characters to discover hidden feelingsand buried impulses, which, once expressed in the night forest's less inhibiting atmo­ sphere, changes them forever. The set is inspired by the 15th century Flemish painter Heironymus Bosch. It features a large, multi-tiered soft sculp­ ture recreated from the painter's masterpiece "The Garden of Earthly De­ lights." The Acting Company, founded in 1971 by M argot Harley and John Houseman, has won numerous awards including the Los Angeles Drama Critics 'Circle Award and the Obie. The company is the official touring arm of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The lighting was designed by Allen Lee Hughes and thecostumesby Catherine Zuber. Music was composed by George Fulginiti-Shakar. The New York Times said the acting company was a prescription for a Na­ tional Theater. The Philadelphia Daily News described the company as a group with style, spirit, raw energy and gritty acting talent. The Acting Company is unlike any other professional theater in America; their mission is unique.They are devoted to the art of acting and to producing that art for a national audience. They develop America's most gifted young actors and, by doingso, develops coast-to-coast con­ stituency for live theater. TheAc ting Company fosters actors and an audience in the same way, by provid­ ing them both with the opportunity to discover the riches contained within the world's great dramas. Tickets, $4 for students and $8 for nonstudents, can be purchased weekdays from noon to 4 p.m. at the auditorium box office. For ticket information call (704) 2624046.

PURCELL Appalachian Diversions Editor •IV4 > l e in i estic "AN EVENING OF VOICE" Julia Pedigo will be featured in "An Evening of Voice and Friends." Many members of the ASU School of Music faculty will perform with Pedigo. Pedigo will debut compositions by ASU faculty member Bill Harbinson. The concert will take place on Tuesday, March 1, at 8 p.m. in Rosen Concert Hall. The ASU School of Music will feature some of the best student and faculty per­ formers in several concerts scheduled throughout the week. From the rich full sound of a concert band to the high ranges of a soprano, many talents will be show­ cased in these performances. The ASU Concert Band and the Uni­ versity Orchestra will perform on Sun­ day, March 1. The ASU School of Music Faculty Recital Series will be on Tuesday March 3 featuring DT. Julia Pedigo. The most enjoyable evenings are usu­ ally those spent with friends. "An Evening of Voice and Friends" will feature so­ prano Julia Pedigo and will include the premiere of "Rhymes of Childhood" by composer Bill Harbinson. Pedigo, director of voice at Appala­ chian, will be accompanied throughout the concert by music faculty members Susan Brashier, Jon Beebe, Douglas Miller, Lynn White, Nancy SchneelochSimmons, Kenneth Lurie, H. Max Smith, Joe Phelps and Rodney Reynerson. The program features compositions from the late 17th to the 20th centuries, giving the audience a chance to see many performance styles. First on the program is "All'ombra di sospetto" by Vivaldi. It will be followed by "Four Fragments from the Canterbury Tales" by Lester Trimble, "Let the bright Seraphim" by Handel, "Der Hirt auf dem Felson" by Schubert, "Pastorale" by Stravinsky and "Jazz Songs" by Betty Roe. The evening concludes with a col­ lection of songs composed especially for Pedigo by Harbinson. "I asked Julia about composing pieces for her to perform during her recital," Harbinson said. After some discussion, Harbinson set five poems by lames Whitcomb Riley to music. "I asked her what poetry she had been reading and enjoyed and she suggested Riley." Harbinson said Riley's poems were interesting from a musical standpoint. "Rhymes of Childhood" is a collection of songs about childhood and songs told from a child's point of view. "The songs range from humorous to sad," Harbinson said. One song is about a boy pretending to be a drummer in a band. Another tells of the stages of a young girl'slife, from having her toys broken by boys to having her heart broken. "A Gustatory Achievement" retells a child's wonder at all thefood atGrandma's house at Thanksgiving. Pedigo is a favorite of area concert audiences. Her sensitive interpretation and extraordinary vocal talent led to a first place award in the 1986 North Carolina Teachers of Singing Artists'Awardscom­ petition. Pedigo has delighted audiences with her chamber recitals, opera appear­ ances, and featured performances with the North Carolina Symphony.

New Christian music on review >9 »r" THURSDAY, February 27,1992 •I * p>ick 27 THE APPALACHIAN On stage with "A Midsummer Night's Dream" •vahlr (S \ By TRACY TARLETON Appalachian Commentary Editor Contemporary Christian music fans from ASU and the Boone community had fr® opportunity to see Matt Tyler in concett.The concert was sponsored by United Campus Ministries. Tyler, a native of Nashville, Tenn., is •n up-and-coming artist in the contemporary Christian music field. He has been B^tdescribed as"Steven Curtis Chapman *ith a twang." His songs, like many in country music, range from very upbeat to slow enough to Jtk tears from one's eyes. Tfre concert opened with the song "It H Took One Man," a fairly upbeat which explained how it only took °ne man, Jesus Christ, to save the world from sin. Another song, "Ghost Town," was inby an old Clint Eastwood movie. sP*reU In a particular scene in the movie, Eastwood enters a town where nothing is left but uprooted tumbleweeds and bro­ ken down buildings with no people at all. What if the town had beautiful mansions and streets paved with gold instead of uprooted tumbleweeds and broken-down buildings? This inspires the song, "GhostTown," in which Tyler sings of heaven, compar­ ing it to the ghost town in Eastwood's movie. Unlike the ghost town in the movie, which is lonely without people, when we enter heaven, God will be there to greet us. "Over the Storm" is a slow song that was inspired by Tyler's experience dur­ ing his last years of college. Tyler was experiencing the same emotions most college juniors and seniors feel, trying to decide what he wanted to do as a career and wondering how he was going to make it in the "real world." The message in the song is that God is with us always and will carry us over whatever storm we are experiencing in our own lives. Tyler also sang a song originally performed by another contem­ porary Christian artist, Steven Curtis Chapman, whom Tyler said was a great inspiration to him duringhis college years. The song was entitled "More to This Life." Its message was that there is more to this life than just moving apathetically through daily routines. Every day brings a new opportunity to praise God. We should takeadvantage ofthisopportunity and be excited about it. Tyler also performed the title track from his album, "Faithful in Believing." This upbeat song's message says we should be faithful by trusting God and believing in him. Tyler's album, "Faithful in Believing," is available on cassette and compact disc through New Avenue Ministries. Downbeat magazine's 38th annualcrit­ ics poll said Saffire isa top talent, deserv­ ing wider recognition. The group has opened for legends such as B.B.King, The Fabulous Thunderbirds and Ray Charles. After performing with such world re­ nown artists of the blues world the band has received national recognition and their popularity is always increasing. Saffire got its big break in 1989, when they signed a recording contract with Al­ ligator Records. Alligator Records is the biggest blues label in the country. The group has recorded two albums since then and accumulated a list of achievements and awards. The Uppity Blues Women won the W.C. Handy Blues Song of the Year Award for their single, "M iddle Age blues Boogie." Saffire is past the point of being up and coming; they are already sizzling hot. Saffire—The Uppity Blues Women's appearance marks an excellent opportu­ nity to see the blues experts in action. Tickets are on sale in the Plemmons Student Union.

Flutist Dave Valentin tops Jazz charts with "Musical Portraits" World music is fast becoming the new °f the future. With increasing fre­ quency, American pop and jazz artists are •toning the richness of other cultures in e'r 9uest for a fresh new sound. And * He this cultural fusion may be a rela'Ve,y ncw phenomenon, flutist Dave a'eniin has been doing precisely that V^mce "Legends," his debut album. On "Musical Portraits," his 14th al,Urr|. dentin continues his unique sty­ mie mixture of jazz and r&b with Brazil411' ^fro-Cuban, Bolivian, Peruvian. Ar^jhne and Puerto Rican influences. And Wave though this kind of globetrotting package presents quite an eclectic mix, the thread that ties it all up is the omnipresent sound of flute, an instrument that transcends all cultures. "There is a whole world of flute that has not been employed," said Valentin, who has a collection of 50 flutes from around the world. "The flute is a constant in all cultures. If you go to India you can see one kind of flute-playing. If you go to Peru you see another. Indonesia has its own kind of flute. Everywhere you travel—Romania, Egypt,South America, Australia—you will find different styles of flute-playing that are unique to a par­ ticular culture. You're talking about a whole tapestry of sound. What I want to do is portray this tapestry and bring a full interpretation of what the fluteis all about" One comer of the tapestry that is "Win­ ter Sunset," in which Valentin plays clay and porcelain flutes that are indigenous to American Indians. Elsewhere on the al­ bum he plays pan pipes, ocarinas and bamboo flutes to enhance the world mu­ sic spirit. On tour, Valentin generally takes out 15 flutes, which allows him to fully explore the subtleties and nuance of this rich tapestry. "The reason I do that is because I've always wanted to do some­ thing different. As a kid, when I saw great players of the flute like Herbie Mann, Hubert Laws and James Moody, 1 was very impressed, but at the same time I wondered, 'Is there more that you can do with it?' And by playing all these flutes from different cultures, I have been able to kind of stake out my own territory on the instrument," said Valentin. Valentin said,"This album is about the musicians as family. I've only had two groups in the past 14 years. The first was a septet, the second was a quintet. So I do believe in a family environment in music. I don't see the reasoning behind getting five different bass players or drummers to do five different tunes. If you can find musicians who can do it all, then you can really grow and develop together, like a family. With this second family of musi cians, we've been able to express our creativity and explore a kind of telepathy between all of us. So for me, this band and this album in particular is a fusion of friendship, musicality and creativity." The album closes on a poignant note with a live performance of Duke Ellington's lovely "Prelude To A Kiss" from the 1990 Montreux Jazz Festival. "I'm glad we put that on the record be­ cause it's a performance that should not be lost," Valentin said. "I think it's the best performance of that tune that we've done, as far as the interplay between pi­ ano and flute. The beauty ofitwasthaiit's purely spontaneous. What you seeis what you get."

Those attending the concert in Broyhill Music Center's Rosen Concert Hall were surprised to learn the sound of the hawk comes from 30 musicians patting their thighs with their hands. "The Soaring Hawk" by Timothy Mahr won the 1991 American Bandmasters Association Ostwald Award and was the feature piece of the concert. The piece contrasts a hawk's freedom from physical ties to the earth to the environmental destruction witnessed while in flight. The 52-member ensemble, directed by Dr. William Gora, was joined by guest soloist Dr. Douglas Miller, a member of the School of Music faculty. The program began with a march by Richard Strauss, "Feierlicher Einzug der Ritter des Johanniterordens." The en­ semble continued with British composer Eric Coates' "Knightsbridge March" and Mahr's compositions. Miller joined the ensemble in "Intro­ duction and "Theme and Variations in E flat Major" by Rossini and David Holsinger's 'ToTame the Perilous Skies." Holsinger's piece, commissioned by the 654th Tactical Air Command Band, premiered in 1990.

Smith High School in Fayetteville. ay HOLLY ROBINSON Appalachian Staff Writer Donnell Rawls, a junior transfer from -Salem State University, has not j^n defeated in a single wrestling match ,1) year. His current record in the 118pound weight class is 2-0. He has eight pins on the season, and has finished first •t all three of the tournaments that the Apps have participated in this year. Rawls started wrestling in the fourth "All the other guys took up popular sports, like football, but me and a few other guysdecided to try wrestling,"Rawls said. The first year Rawls wrestled, he lost every single match. "Everybody laughed at me and said, 'Why take all the abuse,' " Rawls remembered. Winston Rawls wrestled all three of his years at Smith, and comprised an overall record of 89-5-2. He capped off a brilliant high school career with a state championship in his senior season before accepting a grant to wrestle at Winston-Salem State University. ASU Head Coach, Paul Mance, had offered Rawls an athletic scholarship straight out of high school." "We definitely wanted him really badly out of high school," commented Mance. "Things just didn't work out right. It might be good that he didn't come then because he had a strong acquaintance in the same weight class. This way he could make a name for himself, and not be behind a name. By going to WSSU, he had a better situation to start with. " During his two years at WSSU, Rawls com­ piled a record of 56-6, won 10 tournaments, and became the school's first and only national champion. After obtaining one Division II National §§: championship, Rawls decided that he wanted to take the Division I title too;so, when WSSU dropped its wrestl­ ing program due to a lack of funds, Rawls turned his eyes towards Appalachian. Mance put the gears in motion to get Rawls up here, and as sg: soon as he heard from Mance, Rawls mind was || made up. "We were very, very fortunate to have achance || to get Donnell," com­ mented Mance. "You don't gel an opportunity' like this often. Him com­ ing into ASU a Division II national champion added lots of fire to the team. He had a great atti­ tude about being cham­ pion, and he was good for the team, he had done what everybody else wants to do.

On Saturday, ASU took its victory 10-4 in the first game but dropped the second game 8-7. The Mountaineer's offense was on target in both games, but they were not able to hold on to their lead in the second game. The doubleheader left the Mountaineers' record at l-l. In the first game, Danny Wills pitched five strong innings to lead the Mountaineers to their first win of the year. Wills was one of the top Mountaineer hurlers last season. He compiled a 6-5 record for the Apps in the 1991 season. Wills was 3-3 for ASU in his freshman season of 1990. Freshman Scott McDaniel and Jody Boyles led the attack for ASU at the plate. McDaniel, who plays catcher, registered two hits and two RBIs, while third baseman Boyles also had two hits. Joe Bernard also got into the act hy homering and notching two RBIs. Mike Ramsier also added two RBIs. App*»chi»n Pholo by Tr«y Moracfc HIGH FLYING PEEL: ASU senior point guard launches a jumper during the Mountaineers', 68-61 victory over Marshall Monday night.

The Watauga Demoto 'his article. Appalachian State has made a habit of turning what were supposed to be easy home wins into nail biters. That trend continued Monday night in Varsity Gym as the Mountaineers broke open a tight contest in the final minute to scorea 68-61 win over Marshall. The Mountaineers improved to 9-4 in the Southern Conference with the victory and raised their overall mark to 14-12. Appalachian hasnow wonl0ofitslastl2 contests, after starting the season 4-10. The Thunderiiig Herd, who lost for the 20th time this season and reside in the SC basement with a 2-10 league mark, gave the third-place Mountaineers quite ascare for more than 39 minutes of the contest. Marshall trailed by just a single point, 62-61, when junior center Luke Gross scored a layup with 1:23 remaining. But down the stretch the Apps put the ball in the hands of senior point guard Rodney Peel, their best ball-handler and free throw shooter. Peel sank six free throws in the game's final 37 seconds to push the Apps to the 68-61 victory. "A couple of times the team could have lowered my blood pressure," ASU Head Coach Tom Apke said of the close out­ come. "The key for us was when we went to a smaller, quicker defensive lineup. This was a gutsy win. I'mreally happy for our kids." "This game was really frustrating for us," Marshall Head Coach Dwight Free­ man said. "We came so close and then gave them some opportunities. Rightdown the stretch, we didn't do a very good job. "It seemed almost like 'The Twilight Zone' or something," Freeman quipped. "Nothing was going right for us." Appalachian Stale was able to pull out the victory despite shooting just 39 per­ cent from the floor. For the game, the Mountaineers connected on just 23 of 59 field goal attempts, their second worst effort of the season. Apke attributed the poor percentage to good defensive play by the Thundering Herd. "Marshall really put a lot of pressureon us, and at times we didn't react well toit," Apke said. "We shot some really impul­ sive shots." "They shot 39 percent tonight. If the other team shoots 39 percent, you're sup­ posed to win the ballgame," said a beleagured Freeman. The contest was nip and tuck through­ out the second half, with neither team able tograb a sizeableadvantage. Marshall took its final lead of the night at 46-44, when Malik Hightower jammed home a Harold Simmons miss with 9:25 to play. The game was knotted at 53, when the Mountaineers seized the lead for good on a three-point goal from Peel with 5:29 to play. The first half was a seesaw affair that saw the lead change hands four times and featured four deadlocks. Marshall used an early 13-2 spurt to grab a 15-8 lead with just under 13 min­ utes to play in the opening half.

"His death is my motivation in wres­ tling." Rawls commented. "He couldn't do the things he wanted to, because of early death. The things I want to do, I'll do. If I'm wrestling an opponent from a bigger school, it doesn't matter. When you're on the mat, it's man to man, and no matter who he is, I'm not going to let him take my goals away. '1 can't picture myself not being around wrestling. If there's one place I'd want to die, it would be on the mat. When I'm in a match, I think to myself, 'He's gonna' have to kill me to beat me.'

It's not easy for the team to get an idea of what it takes when the coaches try to describe it. It just doesn't sink in like someone who demonstrates it. "Donnell is a great kid with a good attitude. He works hard to do what he wants to do. He was elected team captain as soon as he arrived because the others could see his dedication and hard work. They hoped he would ruboff and pushed his habits towards them. He deserves great credit because he came from a small pro­ gram and made itall on his own. He knew what it took to become a winner." Rawls works hard to stay a winner and follows a strict exercise and dietary regi­ men during wrestling season. Rawls does not wrestle only for him­ self. He wrestles to fulfill the goals that he The Appalachian State wrestling squad trounced Davidson 53-0 Friday night in Varsity Gym, and gave Head Coach Paul Mance his 200th career victory in the process. The match concluded the regular sea­ son for the Mountaineers, who will now gear up for the Southern Conference tour­ nament next weekend in Asheville. The victory gave the Apps a 15-3-1 record. The Mountaineers were victorious in every weight class and scored five pinfall victories on the night. Among those scoring pins for the Apps was 126-pound grappler Donnell Rawls, who pinned Wildcat competitor Robbie Fiero in just 38 seconds. Rawls, ranked sixth in the country in the 126-pound class, wrapped up his first regular season with Appalachian with a spotless 26-0 mark. Rawls transferred to ASU from Winston-Salem State, where he won the Division II national championship last season. Appalachian took an early lead in the match when 118-pound wrestler Mike Orris picked up a forfeit victory. After Rawls' victory, 134-pound Mountaineer Scott Beauchamp scored a 1:14 pinfall victory over Davidson's Myles Louria. Victor Balmaceda then recorded the Mountaineers' third straight pinfall,down­ ing Wildcat matman Francis Mitchell in 2:10 in a 142-pound battle. 150-pounder Kyle Kuykendall made it fourpins in a row by defeating Davidson's Jared Click in 3:35. The 158-pound matchup was the clos­ est encounter of the night for Appala­ chian Slate, but the Mountaineers again came out on top. App grappler Bill Baker outpointed Sam Knowles of Davidson 6-3 as ASU remained unscathed in the match. The Mountaineers picked up another easy victory in the 167-pound category, as ASU's Corey Creech cruised to a 20-7 victory over Wildcat Scott Townsend. Shomari Rozier then recorded the Apps' fifth and final pinfall of the night in the 177-pound class. Rozier put Davidson's Brian Parrish's shoulders to the mat in 2:18 Appalachian picked up another forfeit victory in the 190-pound class, as Tory Maiden went unopposed. Heavyweight Chris Sanders put the icing on the Mountaineer victory with a 12-1 romp over Wildcat Jimmy Stewart. The Mountaineers will next compete in the Southern Conference Tournament on March 8 at the Asheville Civic Center. Appalachian will be the second seed in the tournament, behind regular season leading Tennessee-Chattanooga. Appalachian State and UTC have con­ sistently been the cream of the SC wres­ tling crop. The Mountaineers finished second to the Moccasins in last year's tournament, which was held in Boone. The Apps and Mocs met in Chatta­ nooga earlier this season in Chattanooga, Tenn., and the Moccasins emerged victo­ rious by the count of 26-16. "We're looking forward to hopefully winning the championship," Rawls said of the SC tourney. "We're really excited about it." "Everyone is hoping to do high indi­ vidually, so we have a good chance of taking the championship," Rozier said. "It's not an unrealistic goal."

Last month Rawls was ranked sixth in the country in the 118-pound weight class. • The coaches from rival schools helped to choose Donnejl from among all the other potential wrestlers. "I think his attitude rubbed off on all .•U the coaches we've wrestled against," Mance said. "We've wrestled against •-••.Carolina, State, Clemson... The fact that • v .he has been ranked high without having :> -seen a lot of higher competition is a prime -(/example of the coaches' admiration." but no both—they wanted to become con ference champions, but they couldn't do it when the time came. If there are any doubts, it won't be done. That's the difference between good kids in sports. There are other kids on the team with as much physical talent, but they haven't pushed themselves to the limit and they aren't mentally prepared to be on Donne ITs level. No one has Donnell's attitude. Rawls is anxious about nationals, but he has set his sights a little higher still.

Tomorrow is the deadline for candidate filings. These candidates should be aware of what isexpected of them. By the conclusion of March, next year's SGA presidentand vice president will be selected, and attention will turn to the fall semester. Prior to elections, students should be aware of what to expect in the ensuing month. Soon you will be bombarded with campaign slogans, pamphlets and promises. Several candidates will file for the election. These candidates and their supporters will vie for your vote. Students will be forced to choose. They will be forced to select the leaders of a valuable student organization. So, on what basis will these candidates be selected? They will be chosen on what they promise to accomplish in the following year. They will be selected on the basis of their platform. So, what should a platform contain? A platform should contain specifics. Candidates should be specific on what they plan to accomplish next year. Candidates are seldom specific. Most use vague and even ambiguous language when wording their platform ideas. Many times candidates propose an idea on their platform but fail to explain how such a plan will be implemented. The planning stage for a worthy candidate has already come and gone. Candidates should have planned a specific platform by this, the filing stage. They should know exactly what they want to perform in the upcoming year. The details should be worked out now. Next year is the time to implement plans; it is not a time to start making them. Each semester is short, and the leaders' office terms will go by very quickly. Thus, the details should be in place now. Students should ask for these specifics. Demand that candidates back up their claims with carefully orchestrated plans for implementation. Make sure they have researched what they plan to do before they are elected and then asked to doit. Candidates should provide these specifics. They should know exactly what they plan to do if elected and know exactly how they plan to do it. Candidates should prove their worthiness by planning ahead. Tomorrow, students will know who will be running for next year's SGA president and vice president Following the announcement of candidacies, a deluge of information will engulf the students as they prepare to vote. These candidates will become your leaders of tomorrow. Make sure they are worthy to lead the Student Government Association. Determine now how effectively they will conduct their jobs next year. Today is the time to plan for tomorrow. The New Hampshire primary, the first big event that signifies that once again it is time to elect a president for this great country of ours, has come and gone. Now the big campaigning is beginning as more and more states hold primaries. It should be an interesting year for elections. At least, this presidential election is going to be closer than any we've had yet. Pat Buchanan proved that by win­ ning 40 percent of the Republican vote in New Hamp­ shire. Good ol' George was rudely awakened to the fact that he's going to have to do some pretty stiff campaign­ ing if he even wants to be a candidate for the presidency again. With a close election, campaign tactics should be pretty interesting. Rumor has it that George is going to borrow some from Jesse Helms. I wonder how he's going to do this when he can't attack any candidate on basis of race. Jesse didn't have very many other tactics. I sometimes wonder how he managed to win the 1990 senatorial race against former Charlotte mayor Harvey Gantt. But then again, Jesse had good ol' Southern values to back him up. The fact that one of those values was racism was com­ pletely ignored by voters. But anyway, that election is over, so I'll try to concen­ trate on the upcoming one.In the Republican race we have our buddy George and a columnist named Pat Buchanan. Contrary to what we all believed just a few months ago, Buchanan seems to have a decent chance. Buchanan's policy could be stated nicely as"leave well enough alone." He is most famous for his isolationist stands—bring the troops home, don't give money to Israel, and strengthen anti-immigration laws. He is right on one hand. We reallyshouldn' t be fighting other people's wars. However, on the other hand, he takes his isolationist stand a little too far. His anti-immigration ideas have been viewed by some as a form of racism. The other Republican candidate is, naturally, our current beloved president, George Bush. We pretty much know where he stands. If you haven't kept up with Bush's policies lately, nothing has changed. We're still in a recession with a capital R, and Bush is trying to get us out of it, but I'm not sure exactly how. The competition is worse among the Democratic can­ didates. Paul Tsongas of Massachusetts won the New Hampshire primary, but in the Maine caucuses, he tied with Jerry Brown. Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton came in third, followed by Tom Harkin of Iowa andBob Kerrey of Nebraska. There will be some heavy campaigning on the Democratic side, too. The problem with campaigning is that all candidates seem to stand for the same thing, the "same thing" being what voters want to hear. In 1989, George Bush pro­ more money out of people's incomes will just make the economy worse. In order for the economy to get back on its feet, people are going to have to spend so that money will flow back into the system. If people are going to have to spend, drey must have jobs. This was Franklin Roose­ velt's policy during the Great Depression. Roosevelt created several jobs as part of the New Deal to at least get people employed so they would be able to feed their families. It took World War II to get us out of the Great Depres­ sion. Let's hope getting out of this recession requires something a little less drastic. Let's admit it: the country is in a mess. We all know Another important area demanding presidential how horrible the recession is—probably every one of candidates' attention is education. As we are putting the us has experienced it firsthand. Education is also a big future leaders of this country through school, the schools issue: schools are overcrowded and undersupplied should be the best they possibly can be.

Right now, the government doesn't need to students than ever are dropping out simply because spend more money on anything.

STEIN Appalachian Staff Writer <515? -W- Af Btf- rvm'.oww It's Monday morning, 10:45 a.m. The sky is a bright blue, the air is crisp and clean, birds are happily chirping away, and ASU students are slowly moving toward their 11 o'clock classes. There is a cool, gentle breeze which shocks my half-asleep body into wakening. Every­ thing seems fairly pleasant; however, ev­ eryone I see passing by appears some­ what disturbed.Some are half-awake like myself. Others are awake but seemingly angered. Some have confused or worried expressions. Occasionally, one runs across a bright and cheery smile, but that's a rarity. After all, it's still Monday morn­ ing. Like most colleges around the nation, Monday morning is not a pleasant day in the average student's life. In fact, talking with most students might have one be­ lieve that college is nothing more than a tedious and boring,yet necessary struggle. Why is this so? This is supposed to be the "greatest time of our lives." In college, we should be experiencing new ideas, new dreams and new philosophies. We should be learning a new skill and profession— a profession which will make our lives better and more worthwhile. So why do we seem disturbed? The answer to this question is a highly complicated one and mainly depends upon the individual, but no one can honestly deny the fact that a majority of students are not enjoying their schoolwork. Everywhere one turns, in all typesof classes, the complaints echo like thunder through the nooks and crannys of this campus. Most of them are valid. I have seen a lot of good friends drop out, and a lot more get so frustrated with school that they sink down into a "zom­ bie-like state," simply "living for the weekends." This is not the way learning should be. In fact, it is barely surviving. A wise man once said that a student's mind is like a seed, which if cultivated prop­ erly, and given love, attention and care, will eventually blossom into a wondrous flower. This flower will then in turn give its fruits to the world and its beauty to all. Unfortunately, most of the recent Ameri­ can-bom "seeds," have ended up weeds in a garden of neglect. The fault for this agricultural nightmarelies in many things, but this article will focus on that garden's "farmers," the teachers which we have all endured for so many long and boring years. First of all, teachers need to encourage, enlighten and excite the student into want­ ing to learn and succeed. Today's class­ rooms are filled with students who no longer care about education simply due to boredom. Give students interesting projects and reports to accomplish. Allow students to voice their opinions in class about the way things are run. Make the student the teacher. Secondly, ensure that learning is fun. If students are not enjoy­ ing their schoolwork, they will soon learn to despise it.Once that happens,no amount of learning can be done. Thirdly, teachers need to make their lectures more humor­ ous and interesting. Make jokes, laugh JjmJuh^tudents^ryt^ewm^^nend and guide to the student rather than justan emotionless figurehead. Finally, teachers need K become better acquainted with their students when possible. One of the best teachers I have ever had got to know his students so well that he could tactfully make fun of them (without being insult­ ing) both in and out of class. This actually forced the students to pay attention be­ cause we were too afraid of being the one that got picked on (actually noone minded the spotlight.) He made things fun and gained our respect by giving us respect. He encouraged us to be the best that we could be and taught that success was not out of our grasp. He taught us that no one was beyond mistakes, even the "all-pow­ erful teacher." At ASU and all around the nation, learning is often a chore rather than a delight. Older teachers with seniority give their students a case of senility, while budget crises force younger, more ca­ pable students into new professions (you know who you are, please retire). Poorly organized, unintelligible and unknowledgeable teachersforce their stu­ dents into disorganized frustration, leav­ ing other friends and teachers to bring the students back to life (get organized and speak clearly.) Boring andunenlightening teachers put other students to sleep, while more inter­ esting teachersare scoffed at for their new ideas (get interesting and encouraging.) Impatient teachers scribble their garble all over their blackboards (while standing in the way of course), leaving the tutors to pick up the pieces (slow down and ensure that e>w/-»T»e understands.) Uncaring teachers give unfair exarr leaving students to question their abilitit (If one-third of your students are failin your exams, wake up, there is problem...and it's not the students).

February, Black History Month, is a time to focus on black leaders. Murphy is a black leader on ASU's cimpus who has held leadership posi­ tions hons during all four of his years at Appa Aooalachian. He has been on the judicial per­ sonnel committee, student leadershipcabi­ ns, SGA community relations board and the university convocation committee. Murphy was also public defender of ASU s student judiciary. Due to his vicepresident office.Murphy is on the student media board. "There's a lot of pressure on you. It's more of a challenge because statistically I'm not supposed to be in this situation," said Murphy. He feels that being under this pressure jxishes him to work harder to accomplish Appltcfmn Photo by Tray 1 PROMOTING AWARENESS: The Black Student Association promotes awareness oi African-American diversity on the Appalachian campus.

Murphy admits that he puts a lot of pressure on himself to excel above the average person. Trying to disprove the stereotype of black males is one of Murphy's ambi­ tions. He said he wants people to know him for who he is and what he has done, not because of his rare. Murphy said he has experienced dis­ crimination at ASU because he is black, but this has been his motivation to hold strong leadership positions. "It has been difficult for blacks for the las1400 years to get to where we are today,"said Murphy, but he believes that blacks have come a long way. Murphy stated that being a leader has made people more accepting of him on campus. Murphy, being ASU's first black SGA vice-president, feels that his role as a black leader is making lives for other blacks easier. Murphy wants blacks to believe, "If he can do it, then I can do it." Murphy wants his role as a leader to give black students a goal to obtain. "When black students come to a predominantly white university, they are always looking for a role model," said Murphy. ASU's status as a predominantly white university only had a small effect on Murphy'sdecision to attend Appalachian. "I thought about it, but it was not a major factor," said Murphy. He said he was a little hesitant at first but knew that attending Appalachian would be a challenge for him, which motivated him. Murphy was also offered a scholarship from ASU, which was apart of his decision to attend ASU. Doug Duncan, SGA student affairs committee chaiiperson, is another black leader on ASU's campus. A sophomore, Duncan has been a senator for Coffey . _ Residence u.n on .w. student affairs Hall, „„ the ....... committee and a BSA peer mentor. Duncan does not feel that it was a big challenge for him to get involved at ASU. "I was just worried about doing it," said Duncan. He said he tries not to look at things from aracial pointof view. Duncan said he is aware of the risks he is facing as a black and is prepared to handle any situation. He said that he understands that he has to be a strong black leader in order to get more blacks involved. Duncan hopes that his role as a black leader will trigger more student minority involvement in SGA and all other organi­ zations on campus. He is concerned with continuing involvement of minorities. Duncan would like to see more minorities on the student judicial board. When deciding to attend Appalachian, Duncan based hisdecision on three things: location, social atmosphere and scholar­ ship. Appalachian being a predominantly white university had virtually no effect on Duncan's decision. He decided on ASU mainly because he received a Chancellor's Scholarship. Duncan has not experienced many bar­ riers stemming from his race. "I've been kind of fortunate. I haven't experienced any big problems," said Duncan. He said that public places around town generally have very friendly people. Duncan's view of ASU's discrimina­ tion was positive."I don't feel that it's all that bad," said Duncan. He admits that discrimination exists but is not a big prob­ lem at ASU. "Here, I feel that if I'm assigned a group project or assignment, I'm able to get it accomplished," said Duncan.

Graduate student teachers bring vitality to class By SUZI LANDIS Appalachian Staff Writer The Persian Gulf War changed many pteple s lives.ForToddBottoms.agraduM student in the Technology Departit made him want to teach. When a technology professorwas called Mo active duty, Todd Bottoms took over to classes. "I got thrown into it, but it "httRed me from an industry-care person ''teaching full-time," said Bottoms. Bottoms is one of 45 graduate students who teaches undergraduate classes on campus. As Dr. Joyce Lawrence, dean of the graduate studies, explained, 'Teach­ ing gives graduate students experience and helps free up professors 90 they can do research or prepare for another class." Although ASU uses far fewer gradu­ ate teachers than larger schools, gradu­ ate student teachers are still a concern of students and faculty. Lawrence ex­ plained that Appalachian has a philoso­ phy of having good professors to teach undergraduate courses. However, Lawrence feels graduate teaching assis­ tants "bring a vitality and excitement to their classes." Senior Jennifer Natale agreed,"Gradu­ ate students are better because they are closer to our age. They are more educated for the future because they know new techniques and are not stuck in old teach­ ing habits." According to recent surveys, the nation is not producing enough professors, ex­ plained Lawrence. "Being a teaching as­ sistant is a good chance for people to find out if they want to teach," said Lawrence. "When you teach to someone else you have to really know the material," said Bottoms. "You can learn just as much from the students and from teaching as in a regular classroom." Some students like Mary Kathryn Ewart have had bad experiences with graduate teachers. "I had her my freshman year. In conferences she told me my papers were fine. When I got them back, 1 was marked down for mistakes," said Ewart "I don't think a regular professor would do that." Graduate students must have 18 hours in their discipline to apply for teaching assistantship. They are usually required to work 20 hours a week and use materials recommended by the department. The English, history and psychology departments use graduate teachers the most because these departments deal with many freshman. Graduate teachers are usually given freshman classes. Most departments hold workshops to prepare graduate teachers. The depart ment often gives the graduate student an approved syllabus to teach from. Also, the graduate teachers we observed and evaluated by the graduate coordinator, department chair or a professor in the department. "We could easily use 15 to 20 more teaching assistants,"said Lawrence."But I think we have a very good balance at ASU." Graduate student teachers are chosen by a committee and then assigned classes by the department chair. With a few ex­ ceptions. graduate students who teach receive $5,000 for a nine month school year.

Although many thought the controver­ sial drug died with the hippie culture of the 1960s, LSD is far from gone. "How did LSD creep out of Bohemia into an upper-middle class frenzy? It was advertising," said Dr. Daniel X. Freed man, professor of psychiatry and psy­ chology at UCLA, who has researched the effects of LSD on the brain since the late 1950s. "I saw LSD discovered 17 times in the popular press between 1960 and 1965.... Part of it is the allure of this odd experience. There is definitely some renewed interest. I can tell you that from my telephone." Known as one of the nation's experts on the drug, Freedman said that although LSD never went away, it is certainly back in vogue among <kug users, scientists, the media, drug counselors and enforcement agents Studies on drug use at ASU have not been done since 1988; however, nationwide trends often reflect cam­ pus trends, according to Dale Kirldey. ASU substance abuse education coordi­ nator. The last study showed alcohol was the most commonly used drug at Appala­ chian. Kirkley said. "I would say there is a significant amount of abuse and usage of alcohol and other drugs here as well as at any other college campus," Kirkley said. One user who asked to remain anony­ mous agreed. "LSD has definitely gone more mainstream," he said. "People are seeing the light." At a recent national conference in San Francisco that addressed the renewed pojxilarity of the drug, Robert Bonner of the Drug Enforcement Agency offered his reason for the upsurge. "Kids today really have no knowledge of the adverse effects of LSD. And I'm afraid it's been said those who don'tknow history are doomed to repeat it," Bonner said. Since 1938, when Dr. Albert Hofrnann synthesized lysergic acid diethylamide in Switzerland, the drug has been called everything from "God in a pill" to the ultimate illusion of hell. Opinion toward the drug is still divided. Social psychologist Uoyd Johnston, principal investigator of a University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research annual study that documents drug use among college students, said LSD was "one of the earliest drugs to fall from popularity because of concern about ad­ verse effects such as flashbacks, bad See LSD page 4 �Bicyclist to travel across the country: Anyone interested in bicy­ cling across the country, leaving from West Coast cities June 15 and arriving in Washington, D.C., on Aug. 23 should call Jean PTobinski at 262-3670.

While the Toledo case is uncommon, it has raised a basic question of trust— how much students should have in the police officers who are hired to protect them. According to Roger§erra, president of the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators and chief of the University Washington Police Department, thecredentialsof cam­ pus police vary from state to state. Sena says most states require basic police academy training for all officers— state, city, federal and campus. But, he says many two-year colleges and private colleges are not bound to the same guide­ lines. 'There are both commissioned and non­ commissioned officers," Sena said. "A lot of schools use private security guards because they can't afford a regular police department. In most of the (private secu­ rity) cases, they have no academy train­ ing." Each state has its own processof deter­ mining the competence of potential offic­ ers accepted to the state academies, he said. Usually candidates must undergo psychological testing, a background check and a polygraph screening. There also is the question of whether campus officers should cany guns at all. "We should be less like the traditional police department and more like commu­ nity departmentsin termsof our response," said Tom Evans, public safety director at Drew University in New Jersey. "We're still serving as a police organi­ zation. but wedo it without sworn author­ ity, without weapons. I think it's very effective... we'e interacting with the stu­ dents so they see us as part of the commu­ nity, not someone who's judging them." The lack of training and loyalty, how­ ever, has no impact on whether or not security guards can carry guns, Serra says. Carl Dupree, a deaf student, refused to leave, so the officers handcuffed him. A struggle ensued during which Dupree collapsed and died of asphyxiation. The incident prompted students at Gallaudet, a university with a student population that is predominantly deaf or hearing impaired, to call for special sen­ sitivity training of officers,especially pro­ ficiency in sign language. Many claimed that Dupree's inability to communicate with the officers when he was handcuffed contributed to his death. A similar cry forsensitiv ity training for campus police was heard justa few months earlieT at the State University of New York at New Paltz. In July, 1990, police mistakenly handcuffed a man who was having a diabetic insulin reaction to a wall for more than an hour. Campus police said they thought the student, James Foster, 33, was on drugs. They also told the press that his long hair and beard influenced their judgment. ove a life.. ive blood Gfect £ Complete H^J Men and Wanda Councill hi berg It; 264-8826 Appletree Ap^rt^ Individually Fireproof^ Fully Furnished 1 1 2 Bedrooms 2 Bathrooms Up to 4 Parking Spaces per Unit Dishwasher Washing Machine & Dryer Microwave Ceiling Fan Disposal J JZ& ^ ^ 262 Corner of Water & Howard Streets behind I~i . ftrown Your & l before Spring 10 sessions/$25 20 sessions/$40 Call now for your appointment- 264-6334 S>oone Heights Shopping Center Across from Winn Pixie Classifieds Naom!

The flash flood in California was jusi one story from their 1990 summer bicycle road trip thatstarted in Atlantic City, N J, and ended in Los Angeles. Although some might say Hitman and Ruppert—neither of whom had biking experience prior to the trip—are a bit crazy for embarking on a coast-to-coast journey through Smalltown, U.S.A., they say it was the ride of their lives. The trip, in fact, was so wonderful, they're doing it again this summer. The idea came about in the spring of 1990, when the two Rutgers seniors, then sophomores in communications, were bored aid just hanging out. "Mark and I got together and thought, 'What can we do?*" Hitman said. "The answer, of course, was ride their bicycles across the country." But the selfish pleasure (and pain) was not enough. Hitman said—they wanted their trek to be worth something. So they approached the American Lung Associa­ tion and asked if the group would like to sponsor them. As a result, the two newfound cyclists aid mother friend, Scott Jensea who drove a van across the country and met the two at checkpoints for safety reasons, raised SI0,000 for the organization "Our original goal was to raise SI ,000 each," Hitman said. After car washes, candy sales and writing letters and meeting with local businesses for donations, the incoming funds far exceeded their expectations, and they were ready to go zig-zagging along the backroads of the United Stales. "We started at the Atlantic City board­ walk; we wanted to ride from ocean to ocean," Hitman said. "We dipped our tires in the Atlantic Ocean, then when we ended up in L.A., we dipped our tires in the Pacific Ocean." Hitman and Ruppert rode through 11 states during the 50-day, 3,455-mile trip. Hitman says they did not have an organized plan for stops in towns along the way, but once they explained to hotels what they were doing and show­ ed them local newspaper articles to sup port their claims, people donated rooms for the night and restaurants offered free food. "We went slowly but swely and just rode until we got tired," Hitman said. "The people we met on the road were terrific." Being veteran riders this time around, the two became more adventurous and enlisted 25 people to come along on this ride, which will start in Seattle at the start of the summer and end in Atlantic City.

Alpha Kappa Alpha President, Kelia Gray, is involved in the Ladies Elite Orjmization, Tri Beta Honor Society and Black Student Association. Gray does not find being black a hindrance at ASU. "I didn't find any kind of problem," said Gray. She believes Appa­ in lachian does not have a big problem with discrimination, but there are some prob­ lems in Boone. Places in Boone don't focus on the black population'sneeds,"said Gray. She believes there should be more entertain­ ment establishments centered around Af­ rican Americans. Being predominantly white did not in­ fluence Gray when she decided to attend ASU. "I came here because of the infor­ mation that they sent me about the school. The school seemed to meet my needs," said Gray. Murphy feels that discrimination is everywhere, and ASU is not perfect. He said that discrimination is everywhere you go, for one reason or another. He added that discrimination is usually very subtle in today's world. "ASU has made great strides for black students on campus," said Murphy. He believes the programming for blacks is continuing to get better. Murphy had several barriers he had to overcome. The first barrier he recognized was conquering the negative aspects linked to the stereotypical black male. One other barrier deals with the class­ room. Murphy said that being the only black person in a class of 50 people is sometimes uncomfortable and makes speaking out in class difficult. One last barrier that Murphy has over­ come, and believes that every student has to deal with, is a cultural barrier. "When you come onto a white campus, you have to get used to your environment," said Murphy. He believes ASU needs more black faculty and staff. well as providing van transportation ser­ vices. The changes are largely the result of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act. Under sec­ tion 504, thefederal government said that colleges and universities must ulrp mea­ sures to ensure that educational programs ire accessible to the disabled. "College and university recipients of federal money had to get their act to­ gether,"Hartman said. "Some havecome farther than others. (Now) most large state institutions serve a large number of disabled students." If surveys of students are any indica­ tion, services for the disabled are greatly needed. According to a 1987 Department of Education study, 1.3 million of the nation's 12.5 million students (in 1987)reported having at least one disabil­ ity. ranging from blindness and other physical handicaps to learning difficul­ ties. Because special services needed by the disabled students can be costly, every state has an Office of Vocational Reha­ bilitation that offers federal and state funds to help pay for educational costs. A dis­ ced student can register with the office •hile in junior high school. The office then does a case study and recommends the student for post-secondary education °f vocational training. Either way, OVR after an abortion? Murphy has solutions for these barri­ ers. "You've got to know who you are aid where you come from," said Murphy. He believes that you can not lose sight of your goals, values and dreams. MEDICAL • LEGAL • EMOTIONAL HELP 1-800-634-2224 "Know what you want and the steps that you're going to take to get there," said Murphy. He said to be assertive, aggressive, self-assured and confident. Murphy also said to project a very posi­ tive image about yourself and to not be afraid to ask questions and challenge things. Murphy's suggestion for overcoming barriers is:"Have your mind made up that your number one priority is education, and nobody will take that away from you." Murphy said to establish role mod­ els for yourself. Debbie Wilson Critcher STYLIST 1505-F Perkinsville Dr., Boone.

Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, where 320disabled students are receiving an education, is considered a pioneer in the field of integrating disabled students on college campuses. Edinboro' s program started in the early 1970s and has grown now to include a support staff of 231, most of whom are students, with seven full-time profession­ als who work within the school's Office of Disabled Services. "It started at a conferenceof managers, administrators, faculty and others to see how we could integrate," said Jim Foulk, director of disabled student services at Edinboro. "Out of that meeting came the 'wheelchair campus,'" the concept of providing physical access to campus buildings for the disabled through the use of ramps, electronic doors, elevators, etc. "At the time, we only had 15 disabled students. From here, we started our resi­ dence program, and that's what really made our system unique," Foulk said. The residence program involves the designation of two dormitories as acces­ sible to the disabled. A supervisor is on duty 24 hours, and student workers help the disabled with personal care needs, like showering, dressing, doing laundry and feeding themselves. Other Edinboro services include: •A Life Skills Center, which encour­ ages independence by teaching human sexuality, consumer affairs, time management and assertiveness train­ ing. •Academic support services, complete with tutoring, career counseling, com­ puter services, learning disability aids. Braille materials and materials for the hearing impaired. •Health services that include physical therapy and a residential hall nursing sta­ tion to monitor medical needs. •Social services—the university-spon­ sored wheelchair athletic team, called the "Rolling Scots," compete in the national wheelchair games.The school alsooffers a poolside lift, special bowling lanes in the student union and a student organiza­ tion called Organization for Disability Awareness. Hartman says other campuses have followed Edinboro's lead and are work­ ing to establish similar services. Landmark Collegein Putney, Vermont, is the nation's only accredited school that caters specifically to learning disabled students, although nearly every school with a disabled student services office provides support services, such as tutor­ ing and test-taking aids. Landmark's population numbers about 170 students, most of whom suffer from t dyslexia. Dyslexia encompasses a broad range of difficulties involving information processing. Most people think only of reading difficulties when they think of dyslexia, but it also involves difficulty in verbal expression, under­ standing the order of mathematical equa­ tions (or reversing numbers) or organiza­ tional tasks.

"You can only have a trip that's already in your head," he said. Because the drug enhances the mental state of the user, the ensuing trip is largely determined by a person's state of mind when the drug is ingested. "People ask scientists, 'Please, tell us something awful (about LSD) so we can tell our kids to stop fooling around with the drug,' but we can't," Freedman said. "There is no objective evidence that LSD causes physical damage to the brain." What is known, though, is that some people experience the effects of the drug days, even years, after use, a phenomenon called flashbacks. Although the drug is believed to be safe for well-adjusted users in comfortable settings, scientistssay they are not advocating recreational use. "There is no contribution to the greater good, and for some people, it's bad," Freedman said."It's hard to manage a trip and be certain it will be successfully en­ dured." Although some have suggested that the drug is dangerous because it is addictive psychologically, scientists havefound the opposite to be true. Continued use actu­ ally builds tolerance. "The interesting phenomenon with LSD is that if you take a dose of pure stuff every day for four days straight, you will not experience a trip," Freedman said. People seeking treatment for substance abuse can contact the Counseling Center, the Substance Abuse Education Center, Alcoholics Anonymous and the Watauga Cares program, Kirkley said.

My first living away from home would give jjc an opportunity to express my indi­ viduality. and yet I was overwhelmed »hai I first arrived on this campus. Luck­ ily, I metmy Appol Corpsleader immedinety after I met my roommate. Appol Corp is short for Appalachian Orientation Leader Corps, and its pur- pose is to help freshmen become adjusted to the social aspects of college life. Fresh­ men wrive on campus about four days before upperclassmen so they can attend Orientation Phase II and sessions led by the Appol Corps leaders. Each leader is assigned a group of 20 freshmen to answer any questions they may have about social activities or uni­ versity policies. They run through small group sessions on clubs, activities, issues around cam pais, and just general sessions to introduce freshmen to one another to help reduce their initial tensions about "JImj life. According to Ditto DiBemardi, Direc­ tor of the Center forStudem Involvement, the main goal of the Appol Corps leaders is To begin to make the students feel confident with the campus and to reduce the anxiety they may feel because they are new." The Appol Corps leaders are aophomores, juniors and seniors that act as friends, mentors and as upperclassmen contacts for the new freshmen. They are students that the freshmen can relate to because they have attended Appalachian for at least one semester. The requirements for becoming an Aoool Corps leader are not difficult. A 2.0 CPA is the only academic require­ ment, but more importantly the leaders must be enthusiastic and energetic. They should be students who are interested in making a difference on this campus and helping studentsmake the adjustment from high school to college life. The leaders will go through two train­ ing sessions, one in April and one in August right before the freshmen arrive on campus. The first training session will be one weekend afternoon and will teach the Appol Corps leaders to build a team among themselves and the process for running small group sessions.

The Summer Job Fair offers students m opportunity to talk with employers ibout local, statewide and out-of-state pb openings as well as internships. Em­ ployers represent four states: North Caro­ lina, South Carolina, Georgia and Tennasee. Employers range from temporary service agencies to camps to resorts and twist attractions. Examples of some of the employers that will be present are: Southeastern Expeditions, Carowinds, TheSun BeachService, Grandfather Golf wdCoisitry Club, Beech MountainClub, Blowing Rock Country Club, several area county parks and recreation departments and many more.

Some considered factors « having a good time, making money •nd learning new things. A senior, Disa Mast, looks for a sum­ mer job that is fun. "I look for something thst's going to make my summer as en­ joyable as possible." Another senior, Mark Soule, also com­ mented on what is important to him in a summer job. " I look for something that will benefit me in the future, allow me to fake a little money and teach me some­ thing new." Many students rank money on thenlist. "I want to get a full-time job and make a lot of money so that I can be more financially independent from my fom and dad.

"It's an opportu­ nity for students to give something back to the campus that has given them so much." It's a good volunteer experience, and I know personally that I would have been lost without my Appol Corps leader the first week of school.

The exhibition opens to the public Feb. 24 and continues through March 20 in Farthing Auditorium. Plywood and projectedimages become art in an exhibit of works by WinstonSalem artists Janet Carkeek and David Helm at Appalachian State University. The exhibit opens Feb. 24 in Farthing Auditorium's Catherine Smith Gallery and will remain on display through March 20. The public is invited to a reception for the artists on Feb. 28 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the gallery. Gallery hours are 10 am. to 5 pm. weekdays. Call (704) 262-3017 for more information. The exhibit is the most recent in a series of programs addressing contemporary currents in the visual arts. Carkeek's work seeks the "mystical in the mundane" by seeing and rendering wood grain patterns of plywood with ink and pastel. The elegant, systematic and understated works suggest natural topo­ graphical form of the land and sky. She creates her art by coating rect­ angles or squares of plywood with black ink. Carkeek then accents the found cal­ ligraphy of the wood grain with chalk pastels, recently limiting her palette to blue, brown, yellow and orange. Since 1985 Carkeek has frequented lumberyards searching for sheets of ply­ wood with just the right grain pattern. In the course of thisresearch she has become somewhat of an expert on plywood. In fact, she has recently produced a cata­ logue titled "Carkeek's Pocket Guide to Plywood Veneer Grades." Barry Blinderman, director of Illinois State University's Center for Visual Arts, writes, "Somewhat akin tocomposer John Cages's call to 'wake up to the very life we're living' by embracing chance and transcending the strictures of individual taste, Carkeek selects a commonplace material and sets up a controlled system that underplays self-expression." Carkeek has a bachelor of fine wis degree from the Art Institute of Chicago and a masterof fine arts from the Univer­ sity of Illinois in Chicago. She has been featured in numerous one-person exhibi­ tions, most recently at the SoHo gallery. Feature, in New York. She has partici­ pated in group exhibitions including Carnegie-Mellcm Art Gallery's "New Generations: Chicago." Her work is in­ cluded in many private and public collec­ tions and has been published in numerous catalogues and newspapers.She currently lives and works in Winston-Salem. Helm's new work, "Funnybone," is a multimedia installation using projected images of political cartoons, graphs and recorded jokes collected by Appalachian students. His work is concerned with the relationship between information, public perceptions and the artist In "Funnybone" Helm continues his investigation into the process of social­ ization and the adaptive strategies em­ ployed by contemporary Americans in a media-driven culture.

In large cities victims of rape and abuse may have no place to seek refuge. But Boone is fortunate to have an oasis. OASIS, (Opposing Abuse with Ser­ vice, Information and Shelter), has ex­ isted in Boone since 1978. OASIS is a non-profit organization that exists to of­ fer support, information and shelter to victims of rape and domestic violence. OASIS operates a free shelter: a safe haven for its clients. "We are not a social referral agency," said Julie Thompson, director of client services. "Our clients must meet specific guidelines." OASIS has seven criteria for admis­ sion into the shelter. The most important one requires the shelter to admit people who are victims of domestic violence, rape or sexual assault. The people must also he over 16, free from intoxication or communicable diseases and willing to cooperate in shelter programs. OASIS volunteers virtually run thepro­ gram. They operate the 24-hour crisis line, act as advocates, and serve on the board of trustees. Currently OASIS has about 45 volunteers and 12 board mem­ bers. Volunteers go through a 25-hour crisis intervention training program. They re­ ceive training from professional counsel­ ors and law enforcement personnel. Once training is complete, volunteers are asked to stick with the program for at least a year. "That doesn't mean consecutively," said Jennifer Herman, the executive di­ rector. "We have students that volunteer, then go home for the summer. They just donate their time during the school year." The crisis line is staffed by the volun­ teers. During the day, crisis calls are for­ warded to New River Mental Health. After working hours, the calls are forwarded directly to the volunteers' home phones. OASIS averages about 20calls a month and houses about seven people in the shelter at any one time. The maximum number in the shelter is twelve. After that, clients are sent to local hotels free of charge. Board members are also volunteers serving terms from one to three years. Through the years several membersof the ASU community have been on the board. Currently, Dr. Carol Gross, assis­ tant professor of social work, and Linda Smith of Career Planning are on the board. Not only does OASIS offer shelter to their clients, but they act as advocates and give referrals. Through OASIS, a client can find out how to apply for food stamps, contact the Department of Social Ser­ vices and get long term counseling and legal and medical assistance. OASIS does not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, age, residence, physical handicap, politi­ cal belief or religion. OASIS primarily serves Ashe, Alleghany, Avery and Watauga counties. However, they do regularly accept clients from Johnson County, Tenn. "We get crisis calls from males, too," said Thompson. However, men do not stay in theshelter. The shelter isfor women and their children. Males we housed in private homes or in hotels. OASIS is a non-profit organization. Funding is provided through the United Way, federal grants and the city and county governments. OASIS is also sup­ ported through charitable contributions from companies like the Z. Smith Reynolds Co. and The Bryan Family Foundation. The First Baptist Church in Boone graciously donates office space to OASIS. The OASIS crisis line can be reached 24 hours a day at 262-5035. People need­ ing more information, making donations or wanting to volunteer for OASIS can call 264-1532 Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 pjn. Faculty workshop improves writing skills By JIM WILLIAMS Appalachian Staff Writer Dr. Donald L. Clark tells an interesting anecdote about his first experience with ASU's Faculty/Staff Writing Workshop. "When I first went in," said Clark, professor of psychology, "I asked (direc­ tor) Dr. William C. Wolff how 1 could write and sound more scholarly. Dr. Wolff responded, 'Write poorly."' While it is often true that scholars will tend to "write poorly" in order to "sound scholarly," that is not at all what the Faculty/Staff Workshops are about The main objective of the workshops is to help faculty and staff members write to com­ municate rather than to impress. And any­ one who has ever read an academic jour­ nal knows that in the battle of jargon, the necessity to communicate is often sacri­ ficed to the desire to sound scholarly. One of the key elements in helping the workshop participants write to communi cate is the diversity inherent in the group. "Dr. Wolff knows technical documen­ tation," said Jane Vick Robinson, a secre­ tary in the Department of Communica­ tion. "But variety is important, too—it keeps it interesting." Robinson has been with the Depart­ ment of Communication for 14 years. She has a specialist degree in Childhood Edu­ cation. a master's degree in Elementary Education and has also worked in daycare. For the past 15 years, she has been writing short stories about her experiences as a mother. Although her writing is not directly related to her job, she has found that her writing and her participation in the work­ shops have had a definite impact on her role in the workplace. "More and moreoften people will bring memos to me for proofreading...and also more often I am asked to write memos— because people know I'm involved in the workshops and know that I can write," commented Robinson. In fact, none of the participants inter­ viewed are writing "for" their career; both faculty members are tenured and thus do not have to publish in order to receive promotion. Clark's main objective in his writing is to share information with an eye toward demystifying the relationship between psychology and theology.

February ?$ /<XK> LINKvolunteers tutor community students ASU News Bureau Students at Appalachian State Univer­ sity are helping WataugaCounty students stay in school. They are volunteers in LINK, a VISTA program that pairs vol­ unteers with students at risk of dropping out of school. Mary Sue Sposalo, a 1991 ASU gradu­ ate, coordinates the program for the Watauga County Schools, co-sponsor of the project. "The program servedsome 65 eighth-grade students last year,"she said. "We have35 volunteers whohave been working with students since November," Sposalo said. Volunteers from Appala­ chian and the Community Together tutor students, offer companionship and help students build self-esteem. "Volunteers spent at least two hours a week wcxking one-on-one with students," Sposalo said. Last semester, some volunteers spent as many as 10 hours a week working with students. This year the program expanded to serve students in kindergarten through eighth grade. Expansion means a critical need for more volunteers to help even more students. "There's a big need for male role models," Sposalo said. Asacross the country, Watauga county is experi­ encing an increasein the number ofsingle mothers. An interest in helping others is the only requirement for ACT volunteers. "We have student volunteers whoare majoring in business and marketing," Sposalo said. "Work in LINK is not limited to educa­ tion majors." Appalachian's ACT office, a division of the student development office, trains 1SO volunteerseach semester.Candidates are interviewed and given an introduction to volunteerism, which includes improv­ ing communication skills and informa­ tion about support networks and about the human service agencies involved. Peggy Setzer, director of the volunteer service, has placed students in 30 agen­ cies in Watauga County and one each m Ashe and Avery counties. "Students not only work with human service agencies," Setzer said. "A new area open to volunteers is working on environmental issues." Students have worked with the Blue Ridge Environ­ mental Defense League on sustainable development projects and recycling and clean-up projects on campus. Continued from page 5 tioit, Helm discovers a common ground of mutually shared experience between himself and the public. Helm writes, "In order to portray the substance of a media-filled society each installation (provides) a magnified view of certain elements of life. By placing the audience between exaggerated images of American idols and recontextualized sounds and objects, viewers (are) relo­ cated to an area between questioning and understanding mundane cultural sym­ bols." "Funnybone" projects images of American comedians who have signifi­ cant historic value onto enlarged paint­ ings of political cartoons from newspa­ pers. Telephones, installed on pedestals, play a continuous track of jokes. In this work Helm considers the historic role of humor rod its function in contemporary society. He writes, "Humor is really an incred­ ible thing. It is a tremendous vehicle for resolving tensions or adapting to numer­ ous stresses. It can identify political, eth­ nic or social positions. It can also be tremendously offensive. What I want to do with 'Funnybone' is to examine the various sides of humor, look at its histori­ cal impact and consider its present func­ tion." Helm graduated from Ithaca College in New York in 1981 with a bachelor's Faculty Continued from piage 5 111 Dr. Shah Mahmoud, professor of man­ agement, is the author of "Research and Writing: a Complete Guide and Hand­ book," an authoritative text on how to write in any discipline and for any career, which is due out this May. He has also written editorial letters, articles, and is on the board of several journals, including "Legal Economics Journal." According to Mahmoud, the writing of books is not strongly encouraged by the administra­ tion of the College of Business. • FT .t: V.

The campus has been divided into 20 sectors, rod student groups are responsible for keeping those areas litter-free. "Our recycling coordinator says the project could save the taiiversity up to 530,000 a year by not having to hire people to canvass the grounds for trash." Area nursing homes have requested volunteers with musical,dramatic or dance skills. "It's not just tutoring that's needed," said Setzer. "There are mroy ways our students can use their gifts and interests. Students interested in working with the LINK project may call Sposato at Mabel Elementary School at 297-2512.

He wishes, through his own writing, to "demystify" academic writing and make it accessible to the student. "So often it's simply one academician writing to other academicians, which is pointless since they already know the information they are trying to share," Mahmoud said. What the participants of the Faculty/ Staff Workshop* seem to know, and what many members of the academy seem The Appalachian tuesdays& thursdays to forget, is that the purpose of writing is to communicate. The content of the workshops has var­ ied widely over the years. "We've had children's books along with textbooks and dissertations," said Clark. The workshops have helpied partici­ pants get their work published and further their careers—notably Dr. Paul G. Kussrow of ASU's Center for Commu­ nity Education and Dr. David Phoenix, now director of the South-East Minority Rural Health Research Center in Atlanta. But the career is not what the workshops are for. The workshops are for bringing the task of writing back to its original moorings: the purpose of communicating to an audience coherently and effectively, regardless of what discipline the writer is writing from. Members of the faculty and staff are encouraged to participate in the work­ shop* and may join at any time during any semester. This semester the workshops are being held in Sanford 203-S, each Thursday from 1:15 to 2:15.

Crowe upped in to replace two-time All South- Apps grab two firsts em Conference performer Shannon Tho­ mas, who has left the squad for the re­ mainder of the season. Crowe chipped in a career and gamehigh 25 points and pulled down nine rebounds to lead the Lady Apps to a 99-97 victory over ETSU. ASU Head Coach Linda Robinson was particularly impressed with the efforts of Crowe, who played just 20 minutes due to foul trouble. "Paula played super. I looked at the stats and saw 25 points in 20 minutes. That's amazing." In addition to Crowe, the Lady Apps placed five players in double figures. Sophomore Jeanne Coker turned in a 17 point performance while junior Sheryl Lynch had 16 points and eight assists. Sophomore Penny Roberson totaled 16 points and seven assists. Junior Regina Ikard added 12 points and nine rebounds followed by senior Mitzi Story with 10 points. "Our kids needed this win," Robinson said. "They worked their tails off for 40 minutes. Our defensive intensity set the tone." The loss dropped the Lady Bucs to 1-7 in the conference and 4-17 overall. Despite a 17 point effort by Roberson, the Lady Mountaineers were simply un­ able to get things together as they dropped a 79-67 contest to Marshall's Lady Herd. "We never really could dictate tempo and do what we wanted," Robinson said. "We didn't consistently play great de­ fense. and we never got on oi offensive track. Because we played in spurts, Marshall just took us out." Crowe shot 100 percent to total 11 points and seven rebounds for the Lady with 17 md 12 points respectively. The victory improved Marshall to 5-4 in the conference and 14-11 overall. The Lady Apps will close out regular season play Friday as they travel to Furman to challenge theleague-leading Lady Paladins. "Furman is playing very consistently and features some of the top players in the Southern Conference. Anything can hap­ pen, and we are taking time to prepare and do what wecan to be ready for Furman.It usually goes down to the wire between the two of us," Robinson said. Apps, and Coker added 11, but it wasn't enough as ASU committed 23 turnovers and played inconsistently throughout the game. "I guess the big difference was that they took us out offensively. We could have played better defense, and we also did not take enough shots," Robinson said The Lady Had was led by the driving force of Tracy Krueger who totaled 16 points, 10 rebounds, eight steals and six assists.

Rob Grant took sixth place in the meet in the 35 lb. weight throw with 47' 81/2". The ASU track team finished the meet with 10 personal records and 16 seasonal improvements. Fershetian said the meet was "a real jood meet for us overall." Fereshetian was also pleased with a few team members' individual perfor­ mances as well. "The jumpers and the throwers really did a good job," he said. "Kedrick (Ford) had the fastest time in the prelims. He had a dad start in the finals but soon brought Ws performance up."

CRAVER Appalachian Staff Writer All good things must someday come to an end. Perhaps this phrase best describes the departure of two-time All-Southern Conference senior forward Shannon Thomas from the Lady Mountaineer bas­ ketball squad. ASU Head Coach Linda Robin­ son announced in the middle of last week that Thomas had left the team and will not be returning for the re­ mainder of the season. This decision is due to a mutual feeling that it is best to end her playing career j at this time. "She is a high-caliber athlete with high ex­ pectations who has been through an extremely difficult year," Robinson said. "Shannon is such an intense competitor, and this year has been very frustrating for ha because she has had so many goals. It just seem­ ed like this was the best thing to do after so much frustration. An all-around athlete from Andrews High in High Point, Thomas was an active competitor in basket­ ball, volleyball and track before being redshirted it ASU ha fresh­ man year after suffering a knee injury during summer AAU play. IP"*Vte - • Thomas tore the anterior ./•|I| cruciateligament, anight /fl| mare of an injury for basketball players. Thomas later injur­ ed her other knee as well and has been forced to undergo ^ Snead paced the UTC attack with a ^^^|8jjJ2jx>ints and eight rebounds. "I thought that Preaton't and Goodman's foul trouble was a huge fac­ tor in the ball game, particularly in the last three to four minutes of the first half," Manzer said following the game. Preston had almost single-handedly kept the Keydets in the baligame, hitting six of his seven first-half shots before picking up his third foul. After getting his fourth pasonal at the 13:19 mark of the second half, Preston was never much of a factor the remainder of the game and finished with 18 points, afta scoring 12 in the game's first 15 minutes. ASU quickly erased any Keydet hopes of a second-half rally by going on a 13-4 run to open the half. Steve Spurlock got things started by ramming home back toback alley-oops. Afta Powas made two free throws at the 13-minute mark, ASU was ahead 55-33. The decision was never in doubt from there, as the Mountaineers simply cruised home with their ninth win in their last 11 contests. "I was most pleased with the fact that we got after it defensively today," Apke said. "What wedid defensively was really the key. "I was not pleased with our halfcourt offensive execution for most of the game." Powers led Appalachian with 17 points and eight rebounds, while Spurlock fin­ ished with a double-double of 16 points and 13 rebounds. Ross contributed 14 points, while Nedd and Williams both chipped in eight. The Keydets were led by Penn, who scored a game-high 25 points, and Preston's 18. VMI fell to 9-15, including a 2-9 mark in the SC. The Paladins reeled off 10 straight points midway through the second half to take a one-point advantage, but UTC's Bart Redden drained a three-pointer to put the Moccasinsback on top for good at 59-57. Redden's basket sparked a 9-2 Chatta­ nooga run that spurred UTC to a 65-59 lead. Furman sliced the lead to 65-63 on baskets by Hal Henderson and Bruce Evans, but the Moccasins added a 7-2 run to take a seven-point lead at 72-65. Furman again rallied to cut the margin to 74-71 when Steven Hines converted a four knee surgeries, three of which occurred within the last year. In addi­ tion, Thomas has suffered a quadricep strain and other nagging injuries this season. Her laiee problems last season caused ha to sit out nine games afta being rank­ ed in the top 10 in Division I in scor­ ing and rebounding. Because of that, she lost her ranking since she was unable to fulfill the 75 pacent requirement for games played. Thomas is currently ranked third on the all-time scoring list at ASU with 1,495 points and third on the all-time rebounding list with 929. Other career best statistics include a 44-point per­ formance against New Mexico State and a 22-rebounding performance against Tennessee-Chattanooga. Coming off a season that saw her average 20.6 points per game and 12.0 rebounds per game, Thomas was the preseason pick for Southern Confer­ ence player of the year this season. Thomas was averaging 13.9 ppg and 8.5 rpg with a single game high of 29 points. "Shannon Thomas has made outstand­ ing contributions to the program and will always be a Lady Mountaineer,"Robinson said.

Leading only 27-25, the Mountaineers started their late first half run when Ricky Nedd made a layup. Thirty seconds lata, Jeff Williams ignited the crowd with a monster dunk off an alley-oop pass from Rodney Peel on a fast break. Williams then came up with a steal on the defensive end and grabbed an offen­ sive rebound and scored inside to make the score 33-25 with 2:15 remaining. Williams then teamed with Nedd to block a Keydet shot inside, and Tim Powers' transition layup pushed the lead to 10. After a VMI timeout, Jonathan Penn scored on a layup, but the Mountaineers got a three-pointer from Tony Thompson and a 10-foot jump shot from Peel to make the score 40-27 at half time. Both ASU Head Coach Tom Apke and Dave Manzerof VMI, filling in for Keydet Head Coach Joe Cantafio who was un­ able to be at the game due to the death of his mother, agreed it was the foul trouble that the Keydet post playas got in late in the first half that played a key role in the Appalachian surge. "When they lost their big guys inside defensively to go along with what we were doing offensively, it helped us tre­ mendously," Apke said. Starting center Jonathan Goodman picked up his third foul with just aider six minutes to play in the half, and power forward Lewis Preston was charged with his third personal one minute later.

By attributing this title to the month, Americans are reminded of the plight of African Americans and of the need for further education in the United States. This month reminds all of us of a problem that harms society 12 months each year. The problem is racism; and racism is a problem of ignorance. Ignorance reins in the mind of a racist. Ignorance must exist for a person to judge another simply by the color of his or her skin. These ignorant peoplecome in all nationalities, and all skin-tones, just as the others they prejudice. Members of Appalachian State's faculty, staff and student population have the privilege of living in an intelligent community. This community of intelligence should be above the level of ignorance associated withracism. This community should be one of higher education, one that abolishes ignorance of illforms. The recognition of one month each year does not constitute the end of racism; however, such recognition aids in educating each person, and thus could aid in eradicating ignorance. The Office of African American Student Development and the Black Student Association sponsored several programs this month to aid in further educating this intelligent community. Such programs remind the populace that work is underway to erase racism. However, other events remind us that racism has not been curtailed in the United States. The Ku Klux Klan plans to march in Blowing Rock on April 19, Easter Sunday. The Klan has also petitioned to march in Boone on the same day. Such marches remind us that ignorance continues, even in such an intelligent community as Boone. Racism is an evil disease with its main symptom being one of ignorance. A cure is needed to rid the world of this plague. Education can alleviate the symptom of ignorance. The cure can be found and implemented. Appalachian State is an educational community where a disease as socially degrading as racism should not exist. By TRACY TARLETON Appalachian Commentary Editor Should women be submissive to men? This question has been the primary focus of several important issues, particularly those involving rape and sexual harassment. One side says women who are raped should have known what they were getting themselves into, that they were asking for it The other side says that women do not necessarily want to have sex just because they may wear tight clothes, go walking at night or go to men's apartments after dates. Men should be able to take "no" for an answer when they pressure women to do something they don't feel comfortable doing. Other issues also focus on the question of female submissiveness. Religious denominations often have op­ posing views on what the role of women should be in the church. The gist of what St. Paul says in the epistles about women meant submissiveness. They should be seen and not heard, and they should always obey men. Some denominations take theseverses literally. In these churches, women are not allowed to teach men in Sunday school, nor are they allowed to enter the ministry. These restrictions are a little bit ridiculous.Taking Paul literally is ridiculous in the firstplace. Paul lived in Rome in the first century A.D. In his time, there was not even a question about whether women were to submit to men or not. Paul's wonderful letters to the Romans, Corinthians, Ephesians, Galatians and Philippians are still very valu­ able to Christians today. God spoke to us through Paul. But not about the roles of women. Paul's mentioning of the roles of women were reflections of his time, not of God's idea of what the roles of women should be. Jesus Christ himself was (and might I add, is) a great supporter of'women" In the first century A.D. in the Middle East, if a woman was caught committing adultery, she was stoned to death. (My question is, what did they do to the man? It takes two to commit adultery.) A woman, believed to be Mary Magdelene, was caught committing adultery and was tried by the Pharisees, who asked Jesus' opinion. Jesus said, "Let he who is without sincast the first stone." The woman went free. Once when Jesus was eating dinner with a Pharisee, a prostitute, who was crying, entered the house.She washed his feet with her tears, wiped them with her hair and then poured an expensive jar of perfume on him. Keep in mind that this woman was a prostitute, and the man at whose house Jesus was having dinner was one of the most holierthan-thou people existing on the face of the earth at the time. Jesus ignored the fact that the woman was a prostitute and, instead, praised what she was doing for him— washing his feet. The Pharisee had not done this although it was common courtesy in an area where you couldn't walk out the door without getting dust on yon feet. Then Jesus said, "Go, your sins are forgiven." Jesus also healed the demon-possessed daughter of a woman who was not a Jew but yet showed much faith in him. And let's not forget that Lazarus, whom Jesus raised from the dead, was the brother of Jesus' close friends Mary and Martha. Women were not regarded as an inferior or weaker sex by the Son of God, nor should they be by his churches. There is no reason why women shouldn't be able to teach Sunday School or become pastors if they feel God calling them. Another issue brought up both in the Bible and in other areas is the issue of gender roles in marriages. In history we had arranged marriages. The parents, or namely the father, picked a husband for die daughter, sometimes as soon as she was bom. At the appropriate age, the daughter was married off to her chosen man—chosen by someone else. The woman was then expected to always obey her husband and submit to his wishes, whatever they might be. On their wedding days, women would pledge to"love, honor and obey" their husbands until death did they part This vow is rarely used today. The version of it that commonly remains is a promise to "love, honor and keep," rather than "obey." About seven years ago, a popular TV mini-series about the Civil War, entitled "North and South,"was aired. The lead female character, Madeleine, fell in love with one of the lead male characters, Orry. How­ ever, Madeleine's father wanted her to marry an old friend of his, Justin. Therefore, he hid Orry's letters from West Point long enough for her to agree to marry Justin. Orry comes home from West Point for the wedding, figuring that Madeleine had not answered his letters becauseshe was inlove with Justin. He finds out by talking to Madeleine at the reception that he was wrong, that she thought he had fallen out of love with her. But it was too late. Justin turned out to be a domineering and very abusive husband who believed that women should be "kept in their place." This of course was a fictional program, based on anovel by John Jakes. However, the picture is not inaccurate. Women in history were also kept uneducated. Men and women had separate colleges. The belief was that women did not need formal education outside of the three R's. One acceptable job a woman could hold outside the home was that of a schoolteacher. Teaching positions were usually held by"old maids,"unlucky women who couldn' t find husbands. Southern women were educated very little outside the three R's, sewing, embroidery, dancing and etiquette. Some of the very wealthy women attended academies where they learned how to play musical instruments or dance a certain way. Mary Todd Lincoln, wife of Presi­ dent Abraham Lincoln, was raised in a wealthy Kentucky family in the early-to-mid-1800s. She attended an exclu­ sive female academy where she learned to speak French, dance, play the piano and behave a certain way in a social setting. Women have certainly come a long way since then. Today, the female gender is assuming a more liberated role. More and more women are entering the work force in professions that women previously didn't dare enter, law, medicine and science. Along with the more liberated role of women today comes a demand for more respect for the female gender. Feminists have formed groups everywhere. However, these feminists take the demand for more respect for women a little too far. The fight for gender equality is a valid one, but let's make sure we understand that gender equality does not mean that women are always right in every situaiion involving a battle of the sexes. It only means that women deserve the same chance to be right that men have. This holdstrue in job, church and marriage situations as well as situations in which there is a question of sexual harassment or rape. A woman involved in a dispute with her husband, her male boss or someone who tells her she can't teach Sunday School to men, does not have to submit to a male opinion just because it is a male opinion. But neither does she have to stubbornly cling to her opinion just because she is a woman. Both genders have a right to be heard and respected. In the past, the battle of the sexes has sometimes interfered with a fair trial for rape. Both the defendant and the accused have been victims. The defendant, even in situations in which no rape actually occurred, is subjected to prolonged harsh question­ ing as well as having to face the accused at the trial. In the past, women who have been raped and actually had the nerve to accuse their assail­ ants have been asked ques­ tions at the trial such as, "Why were you wearing that tight miniskirt if you didn't Want to have sex?" On the other hand, with the recent uproar about sexual harassment, innocent men may be unfairly accused by women whoare angry at them for some other reason. Sexual crime is an issue we certainly need to pay attention to. However, suppose, for example, a woman is taken into an office by her male boss to be reprimanded. Naturally since the boss is reprimanding her, he shuts the door. We would run into a problem if this woman only had to say, "He'put his hand up my skirt,"and the courts would automatically take her word over tier boss's just because she is a woman and the court is trying to pay more attention to sexual harassment issues. In this situation the boss is innocent. Let's not prosecute innocent people. Women have considerably more equal roles in today's society than they did in the days when they weren't expected to have views that were any different from their husbands. Women are still demanding more equal roles. With the Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill hearing, the Wil­ liam Kennedy Smith trial and the MikeTyson trial, sexual crimes have developed into an issue demanding national attention. As we examine these issues, or any issue involving gender roles, we should remember that both genders have an equal say, neither is always right, and neither should be submissive to the other gender. 44 The fight for gender equality is a valid one, but let's make sure we understand that gender equality does not mean that women are always right in every situation involving a battle of the sexes.

Let leaders fight wars By KELU MCHARGE Appalachian Staff Writer EMcouRtoES VoUDG PEOPLE TO (WE W-oN < < cctl' 5iOM 5 v%0lll&GES PtopUTo fV vy.TH MflcHJS THCOURAGES yoON<3> PE.CRIE To hwe SEX A German man once wrote a book about war. One of his ideas was that citizens should not have to fight. The leaders of the countries at war should be put into a boxing ring and allowed to slug it out.The leader to come out alive would be the leader of the victorious country. The book was "All Quiet on the Western Front." It also made one heck of a lot of sense. With the recent one-year anniversary, people have had to contribute their two cents about Desert Storm. Well, here is mine. The German man made a lot of sense. In his system, one life would be lost instead of the many that are lost in a war. Sometimes people,especially politicians, tend to forget that casualties are not just statistics. They are people. Those dead people have wives, children, parents, sib­ lings, best friends and other people who do no t wan t to see them die. Which would have been better, the German guy's way or the painful way? Something really brought this home to me. When the"where wereyou when you heard?" was going around, 1 remembered where 1 was. I was sitting in my dorm room watching the evening news. They were doing a story about the students at the University of Baghdad. The students were preparing for and taking their final exams. Like college students all over the world, they were cramming and hoping. But, most of alL like all college students, they just wanted to get home and get some of Mom's food. These people were not evil demons. They were college students like you and me who just wanted to get finals over with and go home. Anyway, they interrupted this story to inform us that the war had started. When they heard the news, those Iraqi college students were probably just as scared for their friends, family and themselves as we were for ours. For me, this really brought home how stupid war is. There is a professor on this campus who agrees about the stupidity of war. He believes in diplomacy and talking things out He says, "I may talk you to death but I won'traisemy hand to kill you.'T agree. Diplomacy should be given more of a chance. Asking brothers, fathers, hus­ bands or boyfriends to die or kill other brothers, husbands or fathers should be the very last resort The question, "just what did we get out of this war anyway" is becoming more frequent I won't get into my opinions on that issue. But, I will say that Erich Maria Remarque had a point. None of us want to die. Wedo not want to lose the people we care about either. Those Iraqi college students did not want to die. Nor did they want to lose the people they cared about Wouldn't it have saved an awful lot of grief to have put George and S addam in a ring and let them battle it out? After all it was their war. They wanted it. They should have been the people to fight iL Or, perhaps faced with Remarque's method, diplomacy would have been given a chance. I am not advocating that one should not defend one's country. I am merely advocating that the leaders should find diplomatic means of defending the coun­ try. I realize that the Gulf War is history now. But, perhaps it is a history that should not be repeated. For that matter, a large scale slaughter of other human be­ ings should never be repeated.

Rape polves many people in various walks of It, md if television is a reflection of our oddlike many scholarssay, then rape is a common occurrence and agrowing con­ cern. Forty-four percent of women have been the victim of an attempted sexual assault or rape, or have been sexually assaulted or raped some time in their lives, accord­ ing to a study by Dr. Theresa S. Foley, of the University of Michigan School of Nursing. Of these women, half have had the experience more than once. Unfortu­ nately, only two percent of the reported rapes or assaults end in conviction. The study found over half of 7,000 college women surveyed had experienced some form of sexual assault. A little less than half of the rapes were acquaintance rapes. The victims knew the rapists and let the people in their residences or cars. Alarmingly, thestudy found only about 10 percent of rapes are reported. Accord­ ing to ASU Police Captain Larry Foster no rapes or attempted rapes have been reported this year. "We don't know if it is aproblem, because acquaintance and date rapes go unreported. However, I feel ASU is relatively safe as a whole," said Foster. If a rape occurs on campus and is re­ ported, ASU police would handle the Academic :xcellence iwarded complete investigation. Captain Foster stressed some important points in report­ ing and investigating a rape. "The evidence is important.The victim should not shower or alter any physical evidence,"said Foster. ASU police would go to the victim and take her/him to the hospital to examine for more evidence. The Counseling Center would then work with the victim for emotional support, while the incident is investigated. According to the North Carolina Crime Prevention Division, the best thing to do to prevent rape or assault of any kind is to A decided to wait to make the change 3 because of the publication of the "sity catalog that year, according to ^ i*st change raising dean's list re­ gents was made in 1978, changing *cessary GPA from a 3.2 to a 3.25. ^er legislation, Barker introduced t bill to recognize students with a or above on a "Chancellor's !,° h which passed by a hand vote with five abstentions, will award , ,tu<knts by taking out an advertisetac'1 ^fester in The Appalachian, letters to the students' parents gnizing the students intheir home^ewspapeT. e some discussion was made to iaT '1°UrS 011 ^ Chancellor's List 10 Those on the Dean's List, Barker thai "I a » oon t think it matters how .. .1115 (Chancellor's List rents) »e taking."

An attitude of healthy caution should become habit." Practiced caution is important because over half of reported assaults occur in the victim's residence and involve someone the victim knows, according to Foley. Basic caution given to a stranger should also be given to a casual acquaintance. At ASU, several actions can be taken to prevent a sexual assault from happening. Research suggests a couple of simple steps to take: walk with a friend, and let U 99 Appadachun ktkmo oy Tr«y ho.m CURVES AHEAD: Six people have died on highway 421 in WataugaCounty in the past threeyears.

Community colleges offer low cost and quality, Bishop says By ADAM HATCH Appalachian Staff Writer Transfer students are becoming an in­ tegral part of four year universities all across the country. Approximately 60 percent of ASU's transfer students come from two-year schools or junior colleges, according to Joseph Watts, di­ rector of admissions and enrollment ser­ vices. ASU statistics show that transfer stu­ dents have steadily had both a higher retention rate and a higher graduation rate than incoming freshmen. Community colleges have a lot to offer students who might not want to attend a four-year college or can't afford it."There are many advantages to going to a com­ munity college because of the low cost and quality education," said Eliza Bishop, dean of humanities and social sciences at Caldwell Community College and Tech­ nical Institute, which has a Hudson and a Boone campus. Bishop says that the two-year program is beneficial because of the small classes and the day and night scheduling that seems to work around the students. ASU student Annette Winkler said, "The school was really helpful because you could even go to classes on the weekend." The cost of attending a community college like Caldwell Community Col­ lege in Hudson is S11.50 per quarter hour. Two quarters equal one semester. This cost averages out to approximately SI61 per quarter compared to S628 just for tuition at ASU. Bishop said the reason for this is that at community colleges the students do not have to pay for housing and sustenance.They only have to pay for the actual classes they take. One other reason Bishop gave for attending a two year institute is that students are offered two-year degrees. The high rate of trans­ fer is sometimes due to students that thought they wanted a two-year degree and then decided to go for a four-year degree instead, such as Winkler. The rale of transfer out of two-year schools is sometimes as high as 70 percent. Transferring to ASU is different than applying for admission as a freshman, according to Watts. The university is in­ terested in a student's background as a gauge of how well that student will per­ form as a student in a four-year academic setting. According to Watts, ASU be­ lieves the best system for evaluating stu­ dents is their performance on the colle­ giate level; therefore, a 2.0 is required over two quarters for admission to ASU as a transfer student Transferstudents are not required to submit aSATscore. Fresh­ men have only their high school back­ ground with which to be evaluated. See COMMUNITY page 2 Freshmen tend to be more liberal, survey shows Appalachian Staff Reports More students entering college today consider themselves politically liberal or far left than they have since 1977, a recent study showed. The gradual shift in the political ten­ dencies of college freshmen was attrib­ uted partly to disenchantment with the Republican administrations of President Bush and Ronald Reagan. The 26 th annual survey of college fresh­ men was conducted by the Higher Educa­ tion Research Institute at the University of California at Los Angeles along with the American Council on Education. When Reagan first took office in 1981, more incoming freshmen labeled them­ selves conservative than liberal. But in 1991, 25.7 percent of more than 210,000 freshmen described themselves as liberal or far left. The last time the liberal figure was that high was in 1977, when 26 percent of the freshmen described themselves as liberal. The highest percentage ever recorded was in 1971, with 38.1 percent. However, it remains uncertain whether those numbers will have any tangible ef­ fect on the 1992 elections. "It doesn't mean anything if we can't translate it into votes," said Jim Desler, assistant press secretary for the Democratic National Committee in Wash­ ington. He added: "It does give us more reason to target college students." Incoming freshmen also are showing more interest in different professions.Stu­ dent interest in business-related majors declined to 18.1 percent, compared with 21.1 percent in 1990, and a high of 27J percent in 1987. In addition, only 15.6 percent indi­ cated they plan to pursue a career in some field of business. Interest in law degrees decreased as well, declining for the third consecutive year, to 4.4 percent from a five percent high in 1988. The career trend among freshmen is the medical profession, where interest hit its highest point since 1976, with 6.9 percent indicating a desire to become doctors. "During the '60s, students were more altruistic than materialistic.... In the '70s and '80s that switched. Materialism h not receded, but we've seen a resurgen of altruism," Dey said. "Students wa high-paying jobs, and at the same tin they want to help people out." According to Bob Feid, associate v» chancellor for student development, A palachian State University does not pi ticipate in this survey because univen ties who participate must pay to do s Feid said ASU would have to pay S1,0 to participate.

Teacher education scholarships available at Appalachian: Teacher education scholarships are available for the 1992 fall semester at Appalachian State Univer­ sity. Scholarships ranging from $250 to$500 will beawarded to juniors and seniors pursuing bachelor's degrees in teacher education. Recipients are selected on the basis of scholastic merit, commitment to teaching, potential to be effective teachers and demonstrated leadership. Applications are available in the Dean's Office, room 221of Edwin Duncan Hall, Reich College of Education, Appalachian State University, Boone, N.C. 28608.' Applicants must submit acompleted application, an updated college transcript and three completed reference forms to the dean's office by March 15. Teacher education scholarships are provided through contributions to the ASU Foundation.

Also, blue lights installed by ASU police provide a person with instant communication to the ASU police office. An officer is sent to the location in a matter of minutes, said Captain Foster. The second most important precaution found by Foley in preventing rape and sexual assaults is to limit the use of alco­ hol. Rape and assault while under the influence of alcohol is a common sce­ nario. Seventy-six percent of college stu­ dents report using alcohol. Alcohol im­ pairs the ability to reason and make accu­ rate decisions. It is not surprising, there­ fore, that one out of five college women will beraped, and usually by someoneshe knows. If a rape does occur, the victim is left with the decision of whether to report the crime and prosecute. Even if the victim does not want to report the rape or assault, ASU police and the Counseling Center encourage the victim to talk to a friend or family member or call the local rape crisis cotter to get emotional support.

This year the festival will be a two-day featuring the following bands: Queen jtfih Saturday, Vanilla Trainwreck, py Straight Ahead and Mary On the Path. for the last two years, Queen Sarah jjturday has been working hard to make ,9ime for themselves in the Southeast, sl)ch like other North Carolina bands, jy Cornells and Dillon Fence, did in the beginning. Playing clubs and colleges is one of the best ways to garner that attenuon. But thefour member band from Durham ha found that, for them, there is somejlung almost as important as playing live. 'Part of being in a band for us is not only writing songs and playing out, but king able to handle ourselves in the indio well, too," said drummer Zeke Hutchins. "And adapt to that, because it is a totally different environment" Spending more time in the studio led to the band releasing a 7-inch on their own S leestack Records this past October. The two songs, "Nothing" and "Wasting Time, offer a sharp contrast to the Queen Sarah Saturday of two years ago. While their early material was full of jangling guitars and pop-laden hooks, their newer material presents a harder, denser sound that shows their maturity in not only songwriting, but also their musicianship. As we got better, and started playing out more, and got better instruments, we started to grow with the music and with the sound," said guitarist and vocalist Johnny Irion. The newer songs Queen Sarah Satur­ day have been writing have tended to be longer, but it's not something that they have consciously tried to do. "We usually get together with a bunch of parts of songs and try to work them together," Irion said. "But it's hard for us to throw out any of the parts and use them for other songs because we feel like they came to us with that song, and we should keep them with it," added Hutchins. "But lately we have been concentrating on stripping down some of the songs, because we feel it won't hurt it if we shorten them some­ what." While Queen Sarah Saturday were sharpening their songwriting skills, they also built quite a sizeable following in the triangle area, an area of the state that is very hard to get recognition in because there is a band on every corner. "I think that we were very fortunate to hit it right when we did, kind of on the coat-tails of bands like Dillon Fence, Johnny Quest and the Popes. We were just coming up as all of those bands were getting big. and they gave us a chance to open for them," said Hutchins. One thing Queen Sarah Saturday doesn't want to happen, is for success to come too quickly for the band. "We have always said that at times everything seems to be moving too fast for us,"Hutchins said. "Because if it moved See NEW page 5 QUEEN SARAH SATURDAY RETURNS: The New Music Festival will feature the best up and coming bands from around North Carolina.

[ Mrs. Reardon Drinks a Little" explores family relationships The department of Theatre and Dance opened up the semester with a highly occessful run of one-act plays written, directed and performed by students. Playerafters sponsored the plays, and Ihe performances gave justice to the qualityof the written works. The I.G. Greer Arena Theatre allows the audience a close connection with the performers. The small space intensifies lie drama of the plays. If you missed the one-act plays you live another chance to experience a play in the close environment of the I.G. Greer Arena Theatre. Appalachian State University Depart­ ment of Theatre and Dance will present "And Miss Reardon Drinks A Little," a play by Paul Zindel, Feb. 26-March 1. Performances will be held in the Greer Arena Theatre beginning at 8 p.m. nightly. Zindel's "AndMiss Reardon Drinks A Little" is a biting, touching and often funny play which probes deeply into the tortured relalionshipof three sisters whose lives have reached a point of crisis. The three Reardon sisters grew up dominated by their mother, after thenfather ran off with a "skinny ostrich wo­ man from Greenwich Village." Time, along with discord between sisters, has erased the closeness of their childhood. Ceil, played by Anne Marie Williams, cut herself off from her sisters by moving out and getting married. Catherine, the oldest sister played by Heather Roberts, has begun to drink more than she should. What brings the family back together is Anna, the youngest sister, played by Amy Lutfy. Anna has been involved in a terrible scandal involving a student at the school where she and Catherine work. Harass­ ment ffrom her students along with the recent death of her mother has pushed Anna to the brink of madness. When Ceil comes to dinner to press the need for committing Anna to an institu­ tion, the resentments of many years burst alive. The unexpected intrusion of Fleur and Bob Stein, a well meaning but boorish neighbor couple, intensifies the action to a shattering conclusion. The Steins are played by Amy Campbell and Jason Gibeau. Also in the play are Doris-Jean Dunn whoplays the busy body landlord and Jay Blanton who appears as the delivery boy who witnessed Anna's breakdown at school. Rachael C. Buckner, a senior theatre major, is directing "And Miss Reardon Drinks A Little" as a senior project. Buckner is the president of Alpha Psi Omega, the honorary dramatics society, and is the director of publicity for the Department of Theatre and Dance. Sophomore theatre major Tim Barker will be designing the costumes for the show. Stage manager for theproduction is senior theatre major Anna Ward. Senior Andi Eanes is the assistant director and freshman Phil Gilreath is the assistant stage manager. Tickets for "And Miss Reardon Drinks A Litxle" are $5 for adults and $3 for students. Reservations are advised due to limited seating.

Farthing Auditorium box office By LORRIE GANTT Appalachian Staff Writer Alvin Ailey once told "Ebony Maga­ zine" that "dance is a positive expression of the human spirit of people who reflect life."To him, dance was more than a form of entertainment; it was a means of influ­ encing and reaching out to people. On Monday night, Feb. 24, the Alvin Ailey Repertory Ensemble will perform in Farthing Auditorium. The Alvin Ailey Repertory Ensemble was established in 1974 as a second com­ pany. Ailey wanted dancers to work with the members of the Alvin Ailey Ameri­ can Dance Theater while on tour. The group is comprised of promis­ ing scholarship students from Ailey's of­ ficial school and functions as a training ground for the practice and hopeful per­ fection of their dance and choreography skills. Emphasis is placed on a balance between repertoire, technique and perfor­ mance. Under the artistic direction of Sylvia Waters, the company has acquired a repu­ tation of grace and excellence.They have been referred to as one of the most excit­ ing young dance companies in America. Waters was a principle dancer for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater before she began working with the reper­ tory ensemble. "I had no idea it would exist this long," she told"Dance Magazine."Her surprise, of course, was not due to the ensemble's lack of success, but the difficulty of fiJjgnces_in_the_arts. Thanks to corporate and government sponsorship, however the companyhas remained secureenough to continue its performances. The ensemble is important, not only to audiences through-out the nation, but tc the dancers themselves. The Alvin Ailey Repertory Ensemble serves as a spring­ board in helping each member begin a professional career in the dance field. Whether they go on to become dancers, teachers, choreographers or directors, the ensemble gives them the experience and exposure they need to establish them­ selves. The company performs a variety of unique and innovative ballets choreo­ graphed by such contemporary artists as Talley Beatty, Ralph Lemon, KevinWynn and Ulyssess Dove. Ailey himself also created many of the pieces performed by the ensemble. Alvin Ailey died in December of 1989 at the age of 58. His physical pres­ ence is missed by his colleagues and stu­ dents. "He was like a friend, a brother, a father," said Sylvia Waters of Ailey. "He listened to me." "New York Magazine" wrote, "a great deal of his experience as an individual and as a representative of the black race is related in the dances he choreographed and in the dances by oth­ ers that he commissioned or acquired for his company." And so Alvin Ailey lives on through his American dance theater and his repertory ensemble. His character is ap parent in the dance as well as community services, children's programs, scholar ships, auditions, workshops and outreacl activities. �The Appalachian.

"We did pretty good," commented Head Coach Paul Mance. "I feel there were a couple of weights we didn't win that we should have. It was a good tournament. There were some spots we could have improved in. We were not as strong as I thought we would *ve been, but most of the kids did a good job." The Apps won the tournament with a total team score of 101.5. The host team. The Citadel, secured second place with 83.75 total points, followed by Pembroke State with 76.5, Carson-Newman with 56.75 and Davidson College with 13.5. In the 118 lb. weight class, two Mountaineers placed in the top three. Freshman Mike Orris took * third, and junior Donne 11 Rawls took the champi­ onship. "We all wrestled extremely well," said Rawls. "We were relaxed, and we concentrated. We ex­ pected to win. They knew we'd be the top team there. We thought they'd come out a lot stronger than they did." "Donnel Rawls and Mike Orris were very im­ pressive," Mance said. "Mike beat a Division II All-American from Pembroke State, and Donnell, currently ranked sixth in the country, is now 26-0." Sophomore Bryan McMillan placed third in the 125 lb. weight class. The Apps had six secondstring extras wrestling this past weekend. Four of these six placed in the top four of their weight classes. "McMillan did a good job," Rawls said. "This was his first tournament of the year, and he took third. He wrestled really well." Ivan Neely took fourth in the 134 lb. weight class: V,i<-tr>T Balmaceda took third place at 142. 1^ 'aria and Duke's players excel on the dle c'assroom.

"I beat two pretty good guys. The champi­ onship match was a pin. It's a really big win. He (Bailey) is a really good kid. Everybody wrestled really well. I thought we could've had two more champions. We wrestled good overall, but we had a couple of bad breaks." , Corey Creech took the title in the 167 lb. weight class, and Shomari Rozier took third in the 177 lb. weight class. "I did a real good job," Creech commented. "I basically had a pretty good time. As a whole, the team did a real good job. Everybody did what was expected of them. Almost everybody wrestled up to their capabilities." "I think I wrestled better this weekend," Rozier said. "My conditioning was better, and I had a lot of confidence. I've had an up and down year. Although I think I wrestled well, 1 had no consisSee APPS page 8 UTC storms back in second half for 61-59 win By WILL ROTHSCHILD Assistant Sports Editor Appalachian State lost a 10-point halftime lead and the chance to upset first-place TennesseeChattanooga on their homecourt Monday night, as Bart Redden made two free throws with four sec­ onds left to beat the Mountaineers 61-59 in a key Southern Conference basketball game. Redden's late-game heroics were set up when Kelly Sutton missed the front end of a one-and-one with 13 seconds left to play. Sutton was able to rebound his own miss, then missed on another shot before Redden was fouled on the rebound by ASU's Billy Ross. After Redden made both free throws, Tony Thompson's long inbounds pass was stolen by the Moccasins to preserve the victory. The loss dropped the Mountaineers two games behind conference-leading UTC and East Tennes­ see State, who both stand at 9-2 in SC play. The Apps fell to 12-12 overall and 7-4 in conference frays. Appalachian had beaten the Mocs in Boone earlier in the season and was seeking its first season sweep of Tennessee-Chattanooga in two seasons. Appalachian led by as many as 14 points in the first half and took a 10-point lead into the locker room, thanks primarily to 53.8 percent field goal shooting and four three-pointers from Billy Ross. The Moccasins were held to just 32 percent shooting from the floor in the first 20 minutes of action. The Apps never trailed until the 5:27 mark of the second half when UTC's Keith Nelson made a layup to give the Mocs a 50-49 lead. Now look at these teams and their coaches. These coaches demand student athletics and win Wit them. Why can't everyone else involved with college athletics do the same? My best (ttess is that they would rather win in the short imthan develop a quality program top student ttheletes want to play for. In my opinion. Coach Bobby Knight of Indiana runs the best basketball program in to country. The program is. successful and |tlean. With all of this in mind, why do coaches insist tying anything different? Think of Duke's r, e "Ktyzewski, who was a pupil of Knight's, uuke is • shooting for it second straight national title and its Program is one of the best in the na. 10n' Wtly anyone would try anything differ™'rf°Vermyhead- The Apps monopolized the 150 lb. weight class with Adrian Hines taking the championship and Kyle Kuykendall taking second. "Adrian and Kyle had an impressive tourna­ ment," Mance said. "They didn't wrestle in the finals in that weight class. It's not a good idea to let two of your good kids fight hard against each other to get a title." Billy Baker took the title in the 158 lb. weight class by securing two pins in his three matches last weekend. His championship pin was Baker's sev­ enth of the year. "I was most surprised with Billy Baker,"Mance said. "He beat a very tough kid in the finals (Spen­ cer Bailey from Carson-Newman). Baker did a good job. He pinned Bailey in the second period of the finals. He was very impressive, and I was really pleased. Billy had to beat one good kid to get to the finals and one good kid in the finals. He (Baker) wrestled better this weekend than he has in the last few weeks." Mocs nip ASU by two Many coaches realize this and cater to these athletes. It is ridiculous to think that college athletics is not a big business. Even with NCAA investigations cracking down on cer­ tain universities, corruption is still the norm, other than the exception. There are exceptions tough. We are in the mid-season of college basketball to March madness is right around the corner, tw teams participating in the madness have hi records of schools such as Indiana, North Carolina, Duke and Arizona. These schools stand out as Division I powerhouses and are insistent contenders for the national champion­ ship. These schools are forces to be reckoned with year in and year out. When Knight recruits kids out of high *h°ol. one of the first things he tells them is £y will graduate or they will not wear the and white. Knight runs the same program that he ran when he took over at Indaina. P'ays man-to-man defense the entire game, 8 Motion offense and his kids go to class, 'makes sure of it. The distractions typical •fWUege basketball do not bother Knight tos players. He doesn't let them. If a young, •Pcoming coach would look to a program as 'model to base his program on, Indiana would 8,1 e*cellent choice. THURSDAY, February 20,1992 App grapplers take Southeastern With the ethics of big-time college sports being such a big issue, it is refreshing to think iliere are still respectable, honest programs left. Few as they may be, their success shows student jdiletes can win games for coaches as well as high-profile high school All-Americans who can dominate games but fail to meet college acadonic standards. College is a place to learn and {row, a place to prepare yourself for the next level you must face. Denny Crum, head basketball coach at Louisville, once said that the kids come to big universities to be noticed and have a better chance of being recognized for the next level. This is sad, but true. Knight once said of his players, "I want him (student-athelcte) to go away and say, w", I learned more in basketball than in any ties 1 took at Indiana. Basketball was by far the most educational experience that I had •hen I was at Indiana. And if that kid says, •ell. chemistry 401 was my best, then I want to fmd out what the guy is teaching in chemistry «1 h^ause I ought to be teaching it in basket btll." THE APPALACHIAN Chattanooga owned a 59-57 lead and the ball with 38 seconds left to play, when Rodney Peel stole Sutton's inbounds pass and dished to Jeff A(ip*act)t*n Photo by Shoo OrtNn Williams fora driving layupthat tied thescore at 59 with 34 seconds left. HANGING IN THE AIR: ASU senior forward Steve Spurlock looks for an open teammate during the The Moccasins then worked the ball around for Mountaineers' victory over UNC Asheville. ASU suffered a 61-59 loss at Tennessee-Chattanooga an open shot until Sutton was fouled by Ross with Monday, to slip to 7-4 in the Southern Conference. ASU will host Virginia Military Saturday at 2 p.m. 13 seconds left. Nelson led Chattanooga with 16 points and eight rebounds, while LeVert Threats hit four-of-eight three pointers and finished with 14 points. "A lot of people will think that because we had a 10-point lead at halftime, we played a great half,'* ASU Head Coach Tom Apke said following the game. "But I don't think we did. We played hard and we shot the ball well, but we didn't really play well." Ross, who scored just six points in the second' half, led Appalachian with 20, while Tim Powers netted 10 points. A bigger story, unfortunately for the Mountain­ eers, was the lack of scoring from point guard Rodney Peel. Peel, the all-time Southern Confer­ ence leader in three-pointers, was just one-of-nine from the field and missed on all five of his threepoint attempts. Peel finished the game with two points and five assists. "The keys in the second half were: one, we didn't score," Apke explained. "Everything on offense was like pulling teeth.Secondly, they (UTC) really went aggressively to their offensive boards. They got a lot of second-chance baskets. That shouldn't have happened, but it did. We weren't! holding our own when they went to the offensive boards." The Mocs finished the evening with 16 offen­ sive rebounds and out-rebounded ASU 37-27. In addition, the Mountaineers made just seven-of-24 second half field goals for a 29 percent. After hitting four-of-five first half three-point attempts, the Apps were able to connect on only two-of-nine in the second half. Appalachian State will now close out the season with threeconsecutive home contests against VMI, Marshall and East Tennessee State before playing in theSouthern Conference tournament in Asheville on March 6-8. The Mountaineers will play host to VMI this Saturday in Varsity Gym, with tip-off set for 2 p.m. Earlier this season, Appalachian State scored an 80-67 triumph over the Keydets in Lexington, Va.

Around the Southern Conference Bucs whip Western to stay in first Appalachian Staff Reports The Buccaneers of East Tennessee State re­ mained in a first-place tie in the Southern Confer­ ence by blasting Western Carolina,96-76, Monday in Cullowhee. The Buccaneers are now 9-2 in the league standings and share the top spot with TennesseeChattanooga. However, the Moccasins have beaten the Bucs twice this season, and would have the tie-breaker advantage heading into the SC Tournament. Senior forward Rodney English paced a balance ETSU attack with 21 points. Greg Dennis added 20 points for the Bucs, who shot 55 percent for the game. Calvin Talford poured in 17, and junior point guard Jason Niblett added 13 points for the Bucs. Western Carolina was led by point guard Terry Boyd, who scored a game-high 28 points. Boyd struggled from the field however, connecting on just seven-of-20 field goal attempts. Boyd, who scored 38 points in an 82-79 loss to Appalachian State on Saturday, canned just two-of-10 shots from three-point range. The Catamounts are now 4-7 in the conference and 9-12 overall. Sluggish Paladins down Samford The Furman Paladins took a break from Southem Conference action Monday and downed Samford 55-42, in alow-scoring affair inGreenv ille, S.C. Senior guard David Stamey was the only Pala­ din performer to reach double figures on the night. Stamey scored 15 points for Furman, drilling fourof-six field goal attempts and two-of-three from three-point land. Sam ford could not get the ball rolling on offense either. The Bulldogs hit just 38 percent of their shots on the evening. Furman is now 14-9 on the season and remains 6-4 in the conference. Bulldogs best UNCG The Citadel picked up its ninth victory of the season, three more than it had in the entire 1990-91 campaign, by downing UNC Cr-ensboro 73-60 in Greensboro. The Bulldogs are now 9-13 on the season. Robert Dalley paced the Dogs with 21 points, while Andre Harris followed with 16.

Just because the victim knows the assailant, does it make it less of a crime? No. Rape is rape. It is a crime with a victim and an assailant. History relates that few victims report rape. A report entitled "Incidence of Sexual Assault/Rape and Abuse/ Violence" prepared by Dr. Theresa S. Foley of the University of Michigan School of Nursing, states that 40 to 50 percent of forcible rapes are not reported. Perhaps the Tyson verdict will change such an estimation. Victims should be By IOSEPH RAYLE encouraged that the system can work. Victims should come forward, bringing Appalachian Staff Writer charges against their assailants.

I have nothing acrime tobe committed; and if such a crime occurs, do not let the assailant walk more against taxes than does the average person, but I do have some very serious free of punishment. qualms about how our money is being It is time the frequency of rapes decreases. A person has the right to say no to sex. This right should be granted at any point. Going to a person's apartment, house or residence hall room does not constitute consent. Even if a person chooses to go to another's home, that person retains the right to say no. The other party should be willing to accept "no" as an answer. Do not victimize others. No matter how well you know someone, if that person is not a willing participant, you are committing rape if you force sexual interaction. spent and who decides how it is being spent. The economic policies of the Reagan and Bush administrations have created this weird, unbalanced law of the jungle in which the rich have gotten richer and the poor poorer. Reagan oversaw the spending of bil­ lions of dollars on a military buildup, the likes of which haven't been seen since World War D. Social programs have been gutted with devastating effecton the work­ ing poor in the formsof increasing mental retardation in children, an increasing in­ fant mortality rate and a decrease in the numbers of thechildren of these people to benefit from public education. The list goes on; environmental disas­ ters. the general failure of the public edu­ cational system to provide us with literate workers and citizens capable of making intelligent decisions. It's easy enough to say that all of this is Reagan and Bush's fault, but they had plenty of help from the Democrat-controlled Congress whostood idly by while all of this went on. Do these people really represent us? Did you vote for the drug war?The savage reduction in citizen's rights with respect to search and seizure that has happened over the past decade? Did you know that the government can seize and sell your house or car while you await trial for certain offenses? Whatever happened to due process? Congress spends much of its time see­ ing to it that it gets re-elected. Many bureaucracies have this weird tendency to become self-perpetuating and self-serv­ ing. Take a look at the many offices asso­ ciated with local institutions. In the crush to raise money, which involves helping those who help them. Congress doesn't have much left when it comes to the needs oT the very people they are allegedly there to serve. Recently, a textile worker from North Carolina went to testify before a Congres­ sional committee about the plight of the average American worker. He spent weeks researching and preparing the sevenminute speech he was to give. One Con­ gressman showed.The rest were out, pre­ sumably attending to matters more im­ portant than the concerns of the average American. These people represent us? The rules are set up so that anyone who wants to run has to spend a great deal of time and effort just to fulfill the regula­ tions and monetary requirements so they can participate in our so-called demo­ cratic system. Time and money they could be using to get their messages across to the people, supplying the essential fuel of public debate to the issues we face today. It is truly time to run these people outof office and get people who are more in tune with theconcerns of the American people. The problem that comes up, of course, is that we seem to havefew choices in terms of alternatives. Most of the press won't tell you this, but there are alternatives to the two major parties. I do not, by any means, have a conclusive list, but two other parties that I have seen around are the New Alliance Party and the Libertarian Party. The New Alliance's presidential candidate is Leonora Fulani. I don't know a great deal about their platform, beyond the fact that they seem to be rather liberal, which is something of a break from these clowns that the Democrats have been putting up. The Libertarian Party,on theother hand, can't really be described as either left or right. Their economics tend toward fret trade, and right to work, but on the other hand, they are staunch supporters of civi liberties. Their rhetoric at least talks about taking the Bill of Rights pretty seriously. They have some unique ways of dealing with problems like pollution, such astreat­ ing it as a form of trespassing. Their presi­ dential candidate is Andre Marrou. ; So we do have some other choices this election, and some of them are worth taking a close look at. Get involved, get informed, and make this democracy of ours work for real. Editor's note: Rayle is a graduate stui dent in psychology. Opposer has right to an opinion Reader defends protestor in Union To the Editor I am writing in response to Kelli McHarge's article about John F. Kennedy. First of all the right to peaceful assembly and protest is as much the alleged obnoxious person's right as it is the petitioners. Whether you agree with either of the people's views, they are peacefully protesting what they believe is wrong. I personally believe that the government is hiding something and that action should be taken. However, in the process of finding out the truth we still can't trample on someone else's rights. Booting someone out of the country for an oj^josing view is a bit harsh; I thought things like that only went on in countries that don't tolerate the right to free speech. This is still America isn't it? Moving on to your challenge for me to find an unblemished historical figure, I believe that I have. Raise your hands if any of you have heard of a man named Mahatma Gandhi. Perhaps I should name a more recent person who is not dead, how about Mother Teresa? For you Christians out there, the name Jesus Christ enters my mind also. So I think that I met your challenge and I am now one up on you, or perhaps that should be three up. You caught me off guard with your hysterical qualifications for courage. Back pain now qualifies you for automatic hero status. My father and thousands like him became heroes today; I will be sure to call him right ' away with the news. Come on. isn't that reaching a little bit? I am sure Hitler had a backache once in a while, but I certainly wouldn't call him a hero. People with back problems are just like I others with ailments. They don't get up* and say, "Boy, am I a hero," no, they j just go to work and play the cards that j they were dealt. Kennedy did do well by committing J himself to public service, but let's not * forget where that money came from. ; Grand-dad Kennedy wasn't a great J master of finance, no. He earned his J money the old-fashioned way; he ran * liquor during prohibition and made a • bundle. JFK did something good with J his money, and that can't be ignored, J but just keep in mind how he got so ! lucky on his 21st birthday. • JFK was a great perron and perJ formed many deeds that reinforced his \ character.

Susan Stamper, the director of health promotions, chairs the recently formed committee made up of faculty, staff and jtudents (smokers and non-smokers). If a rolution is found. Stamper said it will like a long process to phase in die new policy. "The students will play the lead role in developing the policy for campus," Stamper said. "Everyone will beinvolved in the decision. There will be no fast changes. The policy will be livable and fair to everybody. "Non-smokers should not blame or have bad attitudes toward smokers. Everybody has some bad habit. People who have never smoked do not know how addictive cigarettes are," Stamper said. In our health-conscious society today, statistics often show that smokers feel guilty about smoking. Eighty-four per­ cent of smokers think about quitting, but the longer one smokes, the harder it is to quit. Stamper said. As the late Ameri­ can writer Mark Twain said, "Quitting smoking is easy; I've done it a thousand times." The newest method of reducing with­ drawal symptoms is the nicotine patch. It delivers nicotine to the body. Stamper said she has a few people trying the patch now, and they find it very effective.These patches are available in the infirmary. Many resources on campus are avail­ able to students to help them quit smok­ ing. The Wellness Center offers several stop-smoking clinics. The Fresh Start Program by the Ameri­ can Cancer Society is also offered on campus, and Stamper gives individual counseling and phone counseling. She has worked with smokers for IS years. "Non-smokers do a disservice in atti­ tude and approach to smokers," Stamper said. "Smokers do not appreciate being treated less than human. I do not want to alienate people. I want to help smokers and protect their health. Since this is such a hot issue, we need to hear people's opinions and attitudes." The FacultySenate resolution on smok­ ing, as staled in the student handbook, reads: "In the interest of good health and good manners, smokers are reminded that they should be thoughtful about not smok­ ing in enclosed and/or poorly ventilated places in which others engaged in their ordinary activitiesare likely to be affected by the smoke of tobacco products." Many students questioned think the resol ution isfair but is not followed closely enough. The Sweet Shop was one area named frequently as poorly ventilated. Tracy Kindley, ASU seniorand smoker, said the resolution was fair. She said, The Sweet Shop should not allow smok­ ing because it is not well-ventilated. Even if there are a few tables reserved for nonsmokers, the smoke gets everywhere." Jeffrey Scott, a sophomore and a nonsmoker, thinks the resolution is not struc­ tured enough. "College students usually smoke wherever they wwu. They don't think of the fact that they are slowly kill­ ing the other people in the same room."

See SGA page 3 By SARAH YATES Appalachian Staff Writer (CPS)—The glamour of smoking is in ashes in the 1990s, and college campuses are taking a hard look at policies, some with an eye toward creating an entirely smoke free environment in the future. Many schools are dumping vending machines, removing ashtrays from sight, and banishing smokers either off campus, or to small, contained areas away from nonsmokers. Tucked in the back of school newspa­ pers are advertisements claiming to help students quit the habit "You Can Do It" or "Let Us Help You Kick That Nasty Habit" spur the headlines encouragingly. "I don't think smoking among college students is considered cool," said Randy Hurlow, director of communications of the American Cancer Society in Wash­ ington state. "It's that they start before they are 18, and by the time they are in college they are addicted." Yet, many college students continue to smoke. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, a recent sur­ vey reflects that in the 20-24 year age group, 31.1 percent of males smoke, and 28.1 of females also have the habit. People start smoking early—80 per­ cent, in fact, are addicted by the time they are 18 years old. Non-smoking activists are fighting to strengthen laws against underage smoking so teen-agers do not become college students with a major nicotine addiction. In December, three studies published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that the Camel logo, "Joe Camel," captures the fancy of more children than adults and is as readily rec­ ognizable as Mickey Mouse by many 6 year-olds. According to a Dec. 23 article in Newsweek magazine. Camel's cigarette sales to young people rose sharply from $6 million a year prior to using the logo to $476 million today.

"Our entire nation suffers as a result of our ignorance of international languages and cultures," wrote Boren, in a press release. The Senator believes this legisla­ tion will provide part of the means to create the international outlook we must have. One of the most important benefits of the program will be theexpansion of study abroad opportunities for non-affluent and minority students, Boren wrote. Currently, most students who study abroad must raise private funds to pay for their trips. Dr. Gin ton Parker, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs, says the students in the International Studies program at ASU provide their own funds to study abroad. ASU provides very little funding for the students, but it is possible to receive financial aid for the International Studies program, Parker said. Private donations also help to fund studying abroad for the students at ASU. However, changes due to the National Security Education Act will, for the first time, allow college students without inde­ pendent financial means to participate in study abroad programson a massive scale. The undergraduate and graduate pro­ grams receive $12 million for the first year and at least $4 million a year thereaf­ ter. "For four decades, the world came to us and spoke our language.That era is over," Boren wrote. Boren added, 'To compete economically and to protect our diplo­ matic aid national security interests, we need to think internationally." Boren noted that while America has deemphasized education and language skills since the National Defense Education Act in 1958, other nations have beendoing the opposite. For example, graduating high school seniors in Japan are required to have at least two years of English. By the end of the decade, high school students in the European Community wil be fluent in two foreign languages in order to graduate. 150 students delinquent each year in loan payments JENNY HARTWIGER Appalachian Staff Writer *PPr°Ximately 150 ASU students are Attonley General's office each"0*110 year for delinquent loan accounts, wesa Canton, ASU student loan manager.

Statistics indicate that 34 percent of undergraduate and graduate students received some type of loan during 1990- 91. The two most frequently used loans at ASU are the Perkins Loan and the Stafford Loan. The amount of money received from both loans depends on the student's financial need. At Appalachian a combined total of $7.4 million was bon-owed by students from the Perkins Loan and Stafford Loan during 1990-91.

Save a life G * i VT v e b l — o o d Foreign students pursued to boost enroling Appalachian Staff Reports Last year more than 400,000 foreign students, many convinced by college re­ cruiters that an American education is a prized commodity, enrolled at U.S. col­ leges and universities. With a nationwide gain of 5.3 percent in foreign students, U.S. education offi­ cials predict the half-million mark for enrollment is not far away, and some say the number could double or triple in the next decade. Appalachian State University has 62 foreign students, including foreign ex­ change scholars, according to Foreign Student Advisor Tom Adams. "ASU does nothing active to recruit foreign students because we don't have the resources," said Adams. Although ASU does nothing active to recruit foreign students, the university does send copies of Appalachian's cata­ logues to American libraries in foreign countries throughout the world. "There is an alphabetical listing of American universities, and since we start with an A, I think a lot of foreign students just don't look any further down the list," Adams said. "They see we have a busi­ ness department or a good computer sci­ ence program, and they say okay, we'll go there." Some colleges aggressively recruit for­ eign students to add cultural diversity to their campuses, others are interested in boosting enrollment in a sagging economy. "I would say there has been an explo­ sive growth (in foreign students) in the past 10 years, and it hasn't leveled off,' said Paul Crippen, of J. Paul Crippen Associates of Philadelphia, a consultant to a number of colleges and universities. "I think the reason is because the Asian countries rely heavily on us for training in engineering and technology," said Crippen, who predicts that the number of foreign students on campuses will triple within a decade. Despite its intense growth, the foreign student market is still a fraction of the 14 million total U.S. college population. In 1991, 65.7 percent of foreign stu­ dents enrolled in public schools and 34.3 in private schools, according to the Insti­ tute of International Education. In the overall college student population, 80.3 percent of the students are enrolled in public schools, and 19.7 percent inprivate institutions. The reasons for the heavy recruiting, which began in the '80s and is still going strong, are varied: a declining pool of traditional 18-year-old students, the de­ sire of U.S. colleges to teach a global perspective and the fact that most foreign students pay full tuition rates. Many colleges reserve all financial aid for their American students, insisting that foreign students or their governments pay full tuition.Even Christian colleges, which traditionally waived tuition for students from other countries, are having to drop the practice because of the economy. As early as 1974. a handful of colleges participated in overseas "college fairs. Now one recruiter estimates "hundreds of U.S. colleges and universities are rep­ resented abroad. Today, professional overseastours com­ prised of recruiting officers from as many as 15-20 college and universities—usu­ ally to the Far East—are not uncommon. (Asians make up 56 percent of the foreign students in U.S. schools.) For example. Consultants for Educa­ tional Resources and Research, a Wash­ ington, D.C. firm, led admissions offi­ cials from 15 colleges and universities last fall on a swing through Japan, Korea, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong and Taipei. "Not only do we attend the large col­ lege fairs in the Orient, we are the only group that goes to the Caribbean islands also," said Pat Kelly, vice president of CERR. Kelly notes that Asian students can usually pay for their tuition, while Caribbean students cannot. If a Caribbean student desires a higher education, he or she has no choice other than to leave their island because of the lack of schools there, said Kelly. Kelly said that organized recruiting abroad has been a successful practice for "about a dozen years" and, with the ex­ ception of the Ivy League schools, indi­ vidual colleges will join a tour to save money, rather than sending one recruiter alone.

' Cation said the majority of thecases do notjo as far as judgements because, "Af^ t loan becomes delinquent the Credit Bureau is notified, and it is very difficult to buy cars, homes or obtain loans." Appalachian has another avenue for collection. The names of those who have delinquent balances are sent to the State Budget Division. When the students are state employees, ASU is entitled to a portion of their paychecks. When the employees do not begin repayments, they will be dismissed from employment. The Set Off Debt Collection Act offers an additional way to collect payment.The tume of the student is sent to the North Carolina Department of Revenue. If the student is receiving a tax refund ASU puts a claim on the refund, and the delinquent amount is collected. Appalachian also has the option of as­ signing a case to the federal government after trying to collect the repayments for 10 years. Bob Baker, ASU controller, said if the students stay in contact with the univer­ sity and let it know of any problems which may hinder the repayment schedule a for­ bearance plan can be adopted. This type of plai makes allowances for students who have extenuating circum­ stances such as periods of unemployment or medical bills. The student may be awarded a grace period and a chance to establish a new repayment schedule. Kim Slate, a loan clerk, said, "We try our best to work with the students and help them out as much as the federal law allows us." Applications for student loans for 199293 should be turned in by March 15 to the Financial Aid Office at ASU. LOST LEASE!!

At Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College in Indiana, the administration did a year­ long smoking study and developed poli­ cies that left the campus virtually smokefree, with the exception of a few con­ tained areas. Students have become increasingly vocal in their opposition to smoking. "I hate it because most college smokers don't have respect for non-smokers," said Angela Miller, 20, a sophomore at Saint Mary-of-the-Woocfc who says she is al­ lergic to cigarette smoke. hi August, aid for the first time in Kirkwood Community College's (Grand Rapids, III.) 25-year history , smoking is not allowed mywhere on campus. A stu­ dent survey showed theresponse wasover­ whelmingly in favor of a smoke-free cam­ pus. The transition to a smoke-free campus is not always so smooth. Tempers flared at Mesa Stale College in Colorado when Gov. Roy Romer offi­ cially declared "no smoking" in stateowned buildings, ending plans for a new smoking lounge in the college center. The ban has created controversy sur­ rounding the legality of the declaration, and many question whether the governor car ban smoking in a building that has been supported by student fees. Though Mesa State can apply for an exemption, it has not done so. According to the Criterion, the school's newspaper. President Ray Kieft inquired as to whether the college center was eligible for an ex­ emption and was told it probably was not. Angry students staged a "smoke-in" in the fall, converging on the student center and smoking furiously for one hour.Their statement: The governor has no right to ban smoking in a building paid for with their money. Smoke-free campuses are not for ev­ eryone. At the University of Wisconsin at Green Bay, the student senate said a loud "no" to a policy that would make that campus smoke-free. Chancellor David Outcalt devised a smoking phase-out plan last spring and asked for the student senate's input by Oct. 1. The senate sent a resolution to the chancellor requesting that alternative fil­ tration systems be researched and thai ashtrays be placed outside of buildings. The Tobacco Institute, citing an indus­ try-wide policy not to communicate with college students, declined to say what was being done by the tobacco industry to counter such anti-smoking policies.

The AIDS Task Force is trying to establish a hotline number for Avery, Ashe and Watauga counties for anyone who has questions about the AIDS virus. The hotline will provide answers to such questions as: What is AIDS? How do you get AIDS? Wherecan you go toget an AIDS test? How can you protect yourself from the AIDS virus? If anyone feels they may have the AIDS virus, the task force can provide a referral list of doctors Volunteers on the force provide support to AIDS patients by helping them handle job discrimination problems, money problems and the legal aspects of a will. One of the main activities of the AIDS Task Force is the "Buddy System" program, which pro­ My friend Aimee has been swimming competitively since she was 7 years old. When she was 12, she was driving 30 minutes a day to s»im with a better team, and then she went to a boarding school that had one of the best sworn teams in the country. She swam beside and against Olympic potentials like herself. However, she has had to sacrifice her goals to bam for a practical lifetime career. Now her Pmp school friends, some of whom she defeated uone time, will be swimming in this summer's vides moral support to people who are HTV posi­ tive. The "Buddy System" is made up of 25 volun­ teers who act as companions by providing services such as buying groceries, doing housework, going shopping or just being a friend. Any ASU student can become a volunteer by joining the Appalachian CoramiBiity Togetherness (ACT) program here on campus. The task force consists of concerned citizens from ASU.

SMITH Appalachian Et Cetera Editor These athletes are over achievers who are willing ID sacrifice everything else in their lives to know that they are the best in the world a: whatever they do. Many of these athletes have teen competitively skating, skiing, swimming dc. since they were at least 10-years-old. I admire them so much for their stamina, anbition and self-will; I just hate to see them become forgotten at the end of pages and pages ! of history. ' When Olympic gold medallists have very good agents, America sees them advertising tires, shoes, or ladies' personal necessities. Otherwise, the remnants of their successes are left for Jeopardy contestants and Trivial Pursuit fins to remember. At 101 was inundated with Barbies, my brother's big wheel and roller skates. At 13 I ilaned playing tennis at a competitive scale, md that dominated my attention span for about four years, until I found other interests.

AIDS is a disease no longer associated only with homosexuals. It can be transmitted by blood trans­ fusions, the sharing of drug needles and through unprotected sex with an infected pierson. Who you are has nothing to do with whether you are in danger of being infected with the AIDS virus. Take NBA star Magic Johnson for example. Since 1981, approximately 200,000 cases of AIDS have beer^ reported in the United States, and out of that rhe Olympics are finally here! It's also uother leap year, when we find out more than «e ever wanted to know about a few select (residential candidates, and the lucky few thai )ave birthdays on Feb. 29 finally get to telebrate. Leap years are exciting. Events are expected 10 happen; changes are awaited with apprehen­ sion. But the main subject I want to focus on is the Oympics. The Olympic game participants have been an inspiration to many generations. But w hat tuppens to them after they win?

She assures that almost everrone that applies is accepted. ACT has been to important part of campus affairs since 1987. Ova 250students volunteer for the program. Setzer is certain these people gain as much from the program as the community does. Volunteers gain a seme of accomplishment and pasonal growth by helping the community. See ACT page 6 Anthropology department visits Zuni culture By KATHERINE BELL Appalachian Staff Writer Few are fortunate enough to spend part of their Christmas vacations in the midst of a different culture; however, the people who participated in the ASU anthropology trip experienced this oppor­ tunity. Appalachian anthropology professor, Dr. Harvard Avers, led a group of nine people on a trip to the Pueblo town of Zuni in Western New Mexico to visit the Zuni Indian reservation. The Zuni Indians are a very religious people who still prac­ tice many of their old ways. While in Zuni, the group was able to observe the ancient Shaliko ceremony which is one of the biggest, most important and most popular ceremo­ nies of the Zuni people. Tour buses are now re­ stricted. There were so many people coming to watch the ceremony , it was taking away from the religious aspect. Avers' group took rental cars to the reservation to avoid problems. Four to six cinderblock homes are built on the reservation each year. During the ceremony, the Shaliko men. the chosen men of the Zuni people, bless the homes and other things, such as the fertility of the land. The Shalikos are not gods: they represent ancestral figures. They are extremely moral men, and their basic purpose is to bless the culture. In addition to the ceremony, the group also watched the races between the Shalikos and the "Mudheads," who represent the profane in the Zuni culture. They also got to attend a Shaliko dance which was from 2 aun. to 8 am. m the morning. These events lasted for 24 hours, from Saturday afternoon until Sunday afternoon. Anotha highlight of the trip was visiting the kachma murals of Alex Seowtewa. a world famous Zimi painteT who is called the Michelangelo of the Southwest Seowtewa has w orked on the paintings of Zuni gods representing ancestral figures for ova 20 years. The group had the best tourguide around— Alex Seowtewa himself Dr. Avers described the Zuni people as very friendly. "We were treated very well," he said. The Zuni women prepared a huge meal and encouraged the group to eat as much as they w toted. The meal consisted mostly of bread and boiled sheep. Jeff Shuford, an ASU junior, said it felt really good to have such a warm welcome by the Zuni people. As for the boiled sheep, Jeff said, "Actually, it wasn't as bad as1 thought it would be, but I wouldn't want to eat it every day!" Shuford, who recently became interested in the Indian culture, described the trip as one of the most interesting and fun weekends he has ever had. Over the years, Ayers has taken about 300 stu­ dents on Southwest trips. He wiE be leading an other 35 students on a trip coming up in March. These trips are open lo students of all majors, not just anthropology . The trips are open to non-stu­ dents as well. games.

That, of course, means the college basketball season is winding down and getting ready for what's biown as March Madness. (OK, so the Final four is in April, but that's not important right no*-) [bring up this point for a reason. You see most teams that win eight out of nine games Ue Appalachian State has done recently would active a tremendous amount of support from its fans. But last Wednesday night at Varsity Gymnasium was an outright pathetic display of icrowd "backing" the home team. You would hae thought the Mountaineers had lost eight of nine from the crowd turnout. A mime convention had a better chance of breaking the noise ordinance than this bunch. With the game tied at 63, and 33 seconds remaining, UNC Asheville had the ball and a chance to win the game. So how is the crowd reacting to this situation? Half acted as if they were studying. The other half were waiting for uAppalCART. Luckily, UNCA inexplicably threw up a wild shot, and ASU escaped with a 65-63 win. When (onthink about it, doesn't this sound like every kmegame? Oh well, at least that rowdy group* showed up. Heck, even ETSU Buccaneer fans spare lime torn the ball-bearing plant to pack the MiniDome. Marshall and Furman are known lot their strong folio wings. So why is it that more people set the VCR for the Jerry Lewis Telethon than attend an Appalachian State basketball game? Granted, the Mountaineers came back in mid-January from a Bataan Death March—like mid trip with a 4-10 record. But going into last eight's game in Chattanooga, their record stood U12-11 overall, 7-3 in conference play, and the Apps are only one game behind first-place IHt and ETSU—Not bad for a team that got •ntten off more times than three-martini bmches. While it is true ASU does not host Duke or UGLA, (at last report they won't next year, mdw) that's still no excuse for the poor •rnouts. Is't good that when visiting players and fans baye Varsity Gym they feel as if they've just "ttxied a funeral?

Apps score two wins Mountaineers nip Dogs, outlast Catamounts By SHEA GRIFFIN Appalachian Sports Editor The red-hot Appalachian State Mountaineers have climbed above the .500 mark for the first time since the opening game of the season. The Mountaineers have won eight of nine con­ tests, including a pair from UNC Asheville and Western Carolina last week, to raise their overall record to 12-11. ASU stood ai4-10onJan. 13. Appalachian withstood a sizzling performance from Catamount guard Terry Boyd Satirday and held on for an 82-79 win at Western Carolina. Boyd scotched the nets for a season-high 38 points, including 28 in the second half alone, and fueled a late Catamount rally. "We played pretty well defensively. I thought our defense on Boyd was pretty dam good," ASU Head CoachTom Apke said. "He was magnificent •11 day." Appalachian, now 7-3 in Southern Conference action, took the lead for good on a Jeff Williams' layup at the 5:54 mark. When junior guard Billy Ross swished a three-pointer, the Apps owned a five-point cushion with just over three minutes to play. "When Billy made that three-point basket it put a lot of pressure on them offensively, because they were down by five points," Apke said. The ASU lead was 76-71 when Boyd tried to bring the Catamounts back. He canned a threepoint basket to close the deficit to 76-74 with 1:41 remaining. After ASU forward Tim Powers scored to give the Apps a four-point lead, Boyd buried another three-point shot to close the gap to 78-77. Boyd finished the game with a career-best eight three-point baskets. Powers added mother layup to put the Moun­ taineers ahead 80-77 with 22 seconds remaining, forcing Western to call a timeout. The Mountaineers, wary of another three-point attempt from Boyd, shadowed the senior guard with 6'7" defensive specialist Ricky Nedd. As a result, Robert Gaines was forced to attempt the game-tying shot for the Cats. Gaines' shot rimmed out, and ASU's Rodney Peelcame up with the ball. "I'm sure Terry Boyd's name was mentioned more than once during that timeout. He was as hot as a pistol all night long," Western Carolina Head Coach Greg Blatl said. Peel sank two free throws to give the Apps an 82-77 advantage and lock up the victory for Appa­ lachian. Cat guard Maurice Williams added a lastsecond layup to close the final margin to 82-79. Ross paced the Mountaineers with 22 points, including 15 in the second half. Peel added 16 points for the Apps and broke the Southern Conference record for career three-point goals. Peek who hit four three-pointers in the game, now has 225 triples for his career. East Tennessee State's Keith "Mister" Jennings held the record with 223. Steve Spurlock scored 15 for the Apps, while Neddrecordedadouble-doubleof 10points and 10 rebounds. Gaines scored 17 points for the Catamounts, whose three-game winning streak came to a halt.

The Mowiaineers picked up two wins last week, over the Bulldogs and Western Carolina, to raise their record over the .500 mark for the first time since the opening game of the season. Fresh-faced Mountaineers ready for baseball By PATRICK SALEEBY Appalachian Staff Writer If you've walked down Rivers Street near the baseball diamond in the past couple of weeks, you may have heard the crack of a bat. That's because baseball season is almost upon us again, and the ASU baseball team has been practicing daily.This year the Mountaineers have many new faces, but they still think they can be a contender in the Southern Conference. After losing all of his starting outfield from last year. Head Coach Jim Morris had to bring in some new help. In fact, there are nine new faces on the team. To replenish his outfield, Morris brought in John Bonner from Rocky Mount and Mike Ramsier of Mesa, Ariz. Bonner is a freshman who attended Northern Nash High School, and Ramsier is a junior college transfer.They will join sophomores John Hodge aid Will Sheltman in the outfield. ASU added many new infielders. Two of these new players, Ryan Cox and Brent Card well, will help secure the comer bases for ASU. Both are junior college transfers. Cardwell plays first base, and Cox mans third baae. Morris also has two other new freshman infielders, Ricky Adams and Jody Boyles, plus four returning infielders. Most of the pitching staff is back, and Dave Gonsiorowski is the newest addition. Gonsiorowski is originally from Shingle Springs, Calif, and will join many upperclassmen on the pitching staff. The Mountaineers have three senior pitchers with experience. Chris Smith, Jim Epler and Johnny McAulay are all senior right-handers. ASU's lane southpaw is junior Wayne Carter. Morris feels that his team cat bea contender, but there are some areas where he thinks his team may have problems. The most obvious is inexperience. Morris, in his 19th coaching season at ASU, commented, "We're very young, so hopefully we can gain experience along the way so we can get some of the untested players in. We hope the young players can gain some confidence." Morris also worries about run production. Out of five playeTs with batting averages over .300 last year, only one is returning this year. Another factor that may be important to ASU's success is their schedule. "We have a very ambi­ tious schedule—we play many tough teams," Morris said. Some of these lough teams include CIemson, Georgia Tech and Tennessee—all three ranked in the nation's Top 25 teams. Right now, Morris thinks that conference new­ comer Georgia Southern may end up on top of the division when it's all over. "Georgia Southern has a good program, and they definitely look like the favorite on paper. In the rest of the standings, it should be a dogfight between four or five teams," Morris said. Morris believes the rest of the conference is balanced, and it should be a real battle for second or third place. The Mountaineers begin play this weekend at UNC Greensboro on Saturday at noon.

Currently, is it for for a smoker to infect the air which a nonsmoker must also breathe? 11s the current attitude of the university a fair one? The Faculty Senate resolution states in part that smokers should be "thoughtful" about smoking in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas in which the smoke would also affect nonsmokers. Is it fair to ask a group to just be thoughtful when the group's act endangers the health and well-being of mother group? The current resolution is not fair to nonsmokers. Therefore, a university policy should be enacted, and done so as soon as possible. All academic buildings at Appalachian State and all academic-support buildings should be smoke-free. A smoking ban should exist in all classroom buildings, and in all buildings housing faculty, staff and administrative offices. Smokers infect the air inhaled by all. Presently, hallways in classroom buildings are infected with this ill air, as are some office areas. All students should not be subjected to such air. Food Service establishments propose another problem for nonsmokers. Each of the ASU Food Service eateries should be designed to accommodate toth smokers and non-smokers. Such areas should be better ventilated, and 'designated smoking section should be well separated from the non-smokers, perhaps the installation of ceiling fans would aid in ventilating these areas, -ampus Food Service establishments should be closely monitored, and the diversity policy should satisfy the need of clean air, as well as the need for Jokers to smoke.

Were people not obeying the rules about escorting their guests? Did one hall resident too many walk in on a guest and get embarrassed? What was the point? Single-sex halls m general are rapidly becoming m endangered species. It has been my experience, having lived in a coed hall for two years before moving into a single-sex halt that single-aex halls are quieter and the rules are better enforced. (Unforuaiately, the unnecessary rules are enforced as well as the necessary ones.) For those of us who come to college to get an education rather than drink and be as obnoxious as passible every night of the week, singk-sex halls are a necessity. Why does the Office of Residence Life (or whoever is in charge of setting up options in the different residence halls)seem to think that everyone who wants to live on C-option wants to live on a coed hall? The escort policy is provided for the protection of residents, although sometimes it seems as though resi­ dents must keep their guests on a leash in order to follow the policy. It is hard not to fed demoted back to kindergar­ ten when you are told you can't get on the e lev war by yourself in a single-sex dorm of the opposite sex. How ever, there isn't much Residence Life could do to lighten up on the escort policies and still provide adequate protection for residents. As far as the visitation policies go, they are necessary for the residents who want privacy. If no one of the opposite sex is supposed to be on the hall before noon, you know it's safe to walk wound in your bathrobe at 10am. I would, however, advocate the extension of visitation hours which has been proposed w night and on weekends. Also, I wish more single-sex halls were available on campus. Only one, frank, is available for guys, and after this year only Lovifl, White, Belk and Eggers will be available for girls. (The proportion here also seems inad­ equate. There we not four girls to every guy on this campus. Frank is about the size of Belk Who's to say guys wouldn't like to live in a quiet residence hall as much as girls would?) Also, makesome single-sex halls C-option, at least one for each sex. Or make some ind i v idual halIs ineach single sex residence hall C-option. Editor's note: Tarteton is a junior French education major from Wilson. As the public affairs chairperson of SGA, I usually begin my letters with "on behalf of the Student Government Association..." Let it be known that this letter in no way represents the thoughts and convictions of SGA. It does, however, represent my thoughts as a very concerned student. SGA has been examined in the past few weeks by The Appalachian. Or should I use the terms "attacked" or "scrutinized over?" It seems that everything the Student Government attempts to do for the students is criticized. Can we do anything right? Yes. we can! But the things benefi­ cial to ASU students are usually never recognized. SGA did a phenomena] job "Yes. yes. Very nice." "Kick it! Real hard." "An old reliable. Continue." "Unplug it." "I'm sorry but we found that provi ineffective because people plug it back i A good first try though." "Rip the knob off." "Bum the plastic with a lighter." "Put a rock in it while it is on."

That too was implemented by SGA. • I totally believe in free press and the rights of the student to know what is going on. I also believe in the spirit of the Student Government Association. It is not the total fault of SGA that student response is so low . Every interested student is invited to the Student Government Senate every Tuesdav evening at 6:15 p.m. in 104 Whitener Hall. If a student absolutely cannot attend these meetings, a video is atred on Appalnet every Wednesday at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. and Thursday at 11 am. on channel 21. Any questions are also welcomed on the second floor of Workman Hall. Finally, a note on the SGA VJ.P. Discount Cards. After speaking with Tom O'Neil of V.I.P. Ltd.. he clarified that it was no fault of SGA that the VJ.P. cards arrived late. A representa­ tive from this company First contacted SGA in October. Merchants were then contacted, a process which took approximately six weeks. After the businesses were acquired, the cards spent several weeks at the designer and then several more at the printers. SGA had no control over their arrival. Upon their arrival, SGA was m charge of the distribution. I was put in charge of this process. V.I.P. Ltd. allocated SI00 for their distribution. When I checked with the director of the post office, the cost would be 10 cents per card to deliver to each student. The overall cost would be SI, 100. VJ.P. Ltd. had not acquired the funds for this amount, and SGA could not afford the difference. Therefore, the distribution was handled in the best way possible. Cards are still available on the second floor of Workman Hall. y V If anyone would like to be involved at ASU, please take an interest in SG/ Sun with the presidential/vice presidential elections on March 25 anc 26.

I was informed by mv Campus Resident Student Association representatives that various fraternities and sororities have requested more housing on campus, specifically, the two remaining non-greek floors of Con See LETTERS page 10 �The Appalachian. Tu*xda\. Frhrunrv jocn Letters Continued from page 9 Residence Hall. They make this request for extra housing on two grounds: the housing is necessary to increase their sibling morale and, because there is an old Boone ordinance prohibiting more than four women renting living quarters together, sororities cannot obtain it otherwise. Our CRSA representatives also made it known that, should this housing be granted to the greeks, ASU would no longer be able to guarantee housing for incoming freshmen. From what my friends tell me of the Boone housing market, this move would be grossly unfair to freshmen. The I'ted stresses of finding and leasing an paxtment and keeping up the rent would make the already difficult transition to college even worse for som^ students. Living off-campus means relying on vehicular transporta­ tion to get to classes; since freshmen currently cannot obtain an on-campus parking space, they would have to rely on die AppalCART, rent a parking space in town or make frequent trips to Stafe Farm. Since students need to maintain decent grade point averages to remain at ASU, their needs should take precedence over the requests of extracurricular organizations. If sororities really want to have their own separate housing, let them use their large membership to lobby for the overturning of the 'bordello' ordinance. If fraternities want their own separate housing but cannot afford it, let them use their ranks to raise more money. It would be a pity if their loyalty to their organizations would falter if they could not live together—if fraternal and sororal feelings are so lacking, why have they joined these organizations in the first place? In closing, guaranteed housing for freshmen is a far more important priority for CRSA than greek together­ ness. Hopefully, CRSA will, by keeping freshman housing, act for the whole student body and not pander,to the desires of the few. Females can also experience bonding To the Editor It was a normal Tuesday afternoon when I sat down to read The Appala­ chian. I was not expecting to find anything that would upset me, but I did in the article "Male bonding has no equivalent for females" that was run on Ian. 28. I was appalled by the broad and incorrect view Brian Winkler took when he wrote that article. It seems to me that Winkler did not know what he was talking about. He tells us women cannot spend a night out with just other females and have fun, and I tell you he is wrong. Women, think back on your fondest memories, and you will see that many of them have to do with a day or a night out with a great girl friend. Women make as good of friends as men. I challenge you men to tell me (or another girl) all the memorable experiences you have had with your WEDNESDAY'S 9:00 p.m. Kristina Boylan ASU Box 11886 Hems Buttons "buddies," and I bet that we can ten yon as many or more. Winkler says that women can't have fun together and cannot be honest with each other. Again he is wrong. I could never lie to a good friend (girl or guy) of mine because I have learned how valuable friends are. I want my friends to trust me as much as I trust them. Women have so much in common—like trying to understand you men and many other more important issues. It is wrong to suggest we do not bond. I would like to say more about this issue, but I want to go chill with my $5.00 Admission to Comedy Zone Nancy Beuttel^N 264-0059 104 Grove St. Boone, NC 28607 f r\J UyjftJniWvm Seams LOUNGE Zippers Featuring Headliners Feb. 19 AlKatz Eeb. 2® Ken Evans with Gallagher II at High Country Inn Hwy. 105-South, Boone 264-1000 hen at 10:30 p.m. experience i Following Comedy Zone with DJ Bridger MedHn Applefree Ap^rtnients STATE OF THE ART LIGHT AND SOUND SYSTEM NOBODY'S EVEN CLOSE Individually Fireproofed Fully Furnished Check out the • 2 Bedrooms • 2 Bathrooms hq NEED TO • Up to 4 Parking Spaces per Unit REGISTER • Dishwasher CARS ON • Washing Machine & Dryer CAMPUS • Microwave • Ceiling Fan O /T O . |T O ^ ^ • Disposal ^ ~ 21 and over only Proper attire required Wednesday Ladies Night 5 Ladies Free, Guys $1 S3.50 Pitchers Ladies Free, Guys SI 12 81.25 16 oz.

NELSON Appalachian News Editor ad By CINDY GRIMES Appalachian Staff Writer ASU psychology department faculty questioning the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test being used by residence life D determine personality types to match tnidents who do not specify a roommate preference. ye Psychology professor Dr. Polly Tmavsky said the test is not designed to match roommates and is not being admin­ istered correctly. The test is supposed to be given by a trained person, who reads the test ques­ tions to the test takers, Trnavsky said. At ASU, the test is currently given by stu­ dents picking up applications and return­ ing them, without the help of a test administer. However, Brad Reid, director of resi­ dence life, defends the MBTI as an indica- tor. Of the 714 students at ASU to which the test was first administered to last year, 43 students requested room changes, compared to 100 requested changes from 735 students who were paired ran­ domly. Tmavsky, offering another explanation for the effectiveness of the test, said there may have been a placebo effect, meaning that students who knew they were paired by the MBTI made an effort to get along with someone like themselves since they believed it was expected. Reid admits there is a better system than the MBIT. "Mutual selection of roommates is the best route to go," he said. While it has been rumored that students who request a roommate to which they are not Myers-Briggs compatible do not re­ ceive their choice, Reid said this is not the case. Often, Reid said this concern leads to collaboration on answering the MBTI. Reid believes this defeats the purpose of taking the Mvers-Briggs test, since it can SGA hears be used as a learning tool for each student to understand their personality type. While even students who request a roommate are encouraged to take die MBTI, the test is optional for all students. Reid said that ethicallystudents must con­ sent to taking the test and have the right to refuse. Reid offered several advantages of tak­ ing the MBTI. Reasons for taking the test, even if a roommate is preferred, would be in the case of unexpected circumstances where the roommate does not return to school. Another reason would be to learn more about each person's personality type, Reid said. Residence life offers interpretation meetings after the tests are read, Reid said. There students can go to find out exactly what their MBTI is by an inter­ preter. ASU began using the MBTI to match students after researching the test's effec tiveness at Davidson College, which had positive results with the test, Reid said. WASU bombarded Campus station flooded with requests By TRACY WILLIARD Assistant News Editor At the Feb. 11 student government meeting Director of State Affairs Dan Gurley reported on the state legislators' ideaof requiring in-state students who do sot graduate in four years to pay out-ofstate tuition, and a friendly amendment was made to the inclement weather policy bill. Gurley pointed out Section nine, Benefits of public institutions of higher edutation, of the Constitution of North Caro­ lina. "The General Assembly shall pro­ vide that the benefits of The University of North Carolina and other public institu­ tions of higher education, as far as pructicible, be extended to the people of the State free of expense." "I think that we all agree that it's not practicable right now for education to be itte of expense, but we can certainly en­ deavor to make it as cheap as possible," said Gurley. Gurley said he has met with ASU Chan­ cellor John Thomas to discuss the state legislators' idea of increasing tuition for in state students who do not complete tor education in four years. According to Gurley, Thomas is opposed to the idea. Director of Student Affairs Doug Duncan accepted a friendly amendment to the inclement weather policy. The desired outcome of the friendly "nendment is to have the university's iclement weather policy revised by a Suiting committee made up of the vicechancellor of business affairs, director of Went health services, director of public "fety and security, and a weather special81 to include a temperature and a wind •toll floor which the university will use as •guide in decisions on whether to cancel Masses. Tito third appointment to the elections committee was confirmed. Sam '•chtenburg, an off-campus senator, d the last vacancy on the elections board, By TRACEY COFFRON Appalachian Staff Writer With hopes of introducing the latest chart-breaking group to the public, record promoters bombard college radiostations such as ASU's station WASU with re­ quests to play a certain artist or album. Ever since R.E.M., the Athens-based alternative band, hit the big time via col­ lege radio, people with a variety of inter­ ests have been playing tug-of-war with college stations. After R.E.M. made col­ lege radio play lists nationwide in the early 1980s, bands saw the potential for success in targeting university stations. But that has meant a virtual saturation of the market "We probably get at least 40 or 50 calls from standard record representatives ev­ ery other week, and that's just from com­ panies like Columbia or Epic—the major labels," said Spencer Knight program director for WASU 91 Rock. In addition to hearing from representa­ tives from the larger companies. Knight and others at WASU also regularly re­ ceive calls from hired marketing agen­ cies, as well as from the smaller recording labels trying to get a break through col­ lege radio. In total, the WASU staff re­ ceives an average of 50 calls per week. "From a band's perspective, it's (the calling) anecessary evil. If you can get on 30 (college) stations' lists, that will help you with the bigger stations," said Troy Trinkle, lead singer of the Mere Mortals, a Bloomington, Ind., band. Initially, the representatives who call college radio stations are checking to see if a station has a particular record. If not, the station will be sent a copy. Once the album is circulated, promoters look for stations playing the album and audiences that want to hear it. According to Gary Landis, vice presi­ dent and director of programming for ROCKING THE MOUNTAINS: WASU worker Amy Campbell helps Rock 91 pump out the tunes, ranging from alternativemusic Westwood One Radio Network, college to jazz.

Conslitution sic scene is fairly easy to monitor because most college stations, including WASU, report weekly to the College Music Jour nal with a list of their top 35 albums. "They (college stations) are now viewed as a definite area for the advanced expo sure of many different bands, both new bands and those ignored by the main­ stream," said Landis. College radio stations have more flex­ ibility than commercial stations because the Federal Communications Commis­ sion prohibits them from airing advertise­ ments. The additional air time and the notion of college radio as both a musical and educational enterprise have allowed for creative programming. College music formats feature alterna­ tive music, punk/hardcore or hard rock that has not hit the popular airwaves— at least, not yet. WASU is basically used as an outlet for music overlooked by commercial stations. Knight said. Judging by the success of The Police and Elvis Costello, bands premiered on college radio about 10 years ago, campus stations can be an influential training ground. "Of all the music we get, and we get just about everything that is coming out, we probably program less than 25 percent," said Knight. Along with the normal pressures pro­ moters place on college stations, WASU is faced with an added burden due to its Boone location. Chad Lacy, who hosts the Friday night rap program on 91 Rock, said, "As far as the college rock scenegoes, I think WASU is highly regarded across the nation. Through the grapevine, everyone is talk­ ing about North Carolina becoming the new rock hot spot. Bands we're used to hearing all the time, like the Connells or Dillon Fence, are just now being heard by people in other areas. Just because we're here, people are looking to us to find out what's going on." and work on their deficiencies when they Despite the less stringent admission get here than deny them admission at all. standards for transfer students, they gradu­ Watts explained ate at a higher rate the community col­ than entering fresh­ lege system offers men, according to students a second Watts.

So once students arrive, developmental programs and learning assistance pro­ grams address their deficiencies in read­ ing, writing, math and other skills. "Appalachian has focused more time, energy and resources in the past few years on advising students," Watts said. Academic advising at ASU serves to in­ form studentsof expectations and require­ ments and to give advice on course selec­ tion and taking advantage of campus re­ sources. Junior transfer student Debbie Sluder told of her experiences when she first arrived at ASU. "I registered two days before classes began.

Freshmen seminar is a course offered to entering freshmen designed to ease their transition into college life. It teachesstudy and social skills needed for achieving a successful college career. Watts explains that in some ways trans­ fer students are similar to entering fresh­ men; for many transfer students, being at ASU is the first time they have lived away from home for an extended periodof time. Forty percent of ASU's transfer stu­ dents transferred from other four-year schools, said Watts.

(CPS)—Think twice about giving your sweetheart a box of candy for Valentine's Day. A Texas A&M psychologist says depression—not adoration—may result. Dr. Larry Christiansen, who has con­ ducted research on the link between sugar and depression, said he has found that eliminating sugar from the diets of de­ pressed peoplecan substantiallycurb their depression. In his book "The Food-Mood Connec­ tion: Eating Your Way to Happiness," Christiansen says that dietary interven­ tion can often determine what chemicals may be causing your case of blues. "In terms of mood disorders, particu­ larly depression, caffeine and sugar can have a devastating effect in terms of cre­ ating depression,"said Christiansen, who has studied the diet-mood connection for the past 10 years. He pwints out that "individuals who feel fatigued, go to bed for eight hours and are still tired,someone who is moody, and people with ongoing headaches" are among those who may be what he terms "sugar or caffeine sensitive."

FHE APPALACHIAN Many pieople attribute "feeling lousy to a stressful job or marriage, when they could be suffering an underlying depres­ sion triggered by caffeine or sugar that makes them feel worse. The author suggests that pieople elimi­ nate both sugar and caffeine from their diets, then gradually introduce one ele­ ment back into their system and watch for sympitoms. "Caffeine is not a stimulant for every­ one," said Christiansen, who also said he has found that pieople more often are sugarsensitive than caffeine-sensitive. Christiansen warns that withdrawal symptoms may be experienced when pieople drop sugar or caffeine from their diet. "They mayget shaky, and the change may be gradual," although one woman told Christiansen she could "name the hour"she started feeling better after elimi­ nating sugar from her diet. The author is writing a book on pre­ menstrual syndome, which he says is di­ rectly related to a woman's diet choices during certain phases of the monthly cycle. • lucvJatN and thuinlaxs * DON T MISS A Day of Beauty Only $299 INCLUDES: MANICURE/PEDICURF TANNING SESSIONS/EUROPEAN BODY Wo* WR Al P FREE MAKE-OVER SWEETHEART BRING YOUR HUBBY OR MALI FRIEND IN FOR $1.50 MANLCURI MANICURES PEDICURES LUME NAILTIPS EUROPEAN BODY WRAP.

The 8 pjn. performance in Broyhill Music Center s Rosen Concert Hall is part of the office of cultural affairs' special performing arts series. By WILLIAM PURCELL Appalachian Diversions Editor Valentine's Day is here. Bah Humbug! This is the one day of the year you either have io love or hate. There is no middle ground in the world of love. You either have that special someone you can do all the mushy stuff with, or you are alone. If you ire alone it is the perfect opportunity to bash the opposite sex for all the stupid things they do. If you are not alone, then you are trapped in the commercial holiday that can hurt your pocket as much as it can heal your heart. There are tons of symbols of the love this holiday is all about. You have the fat little baby in the saggy pants who always seems to miss the target you were hoping for. You have candy of all shapes, sizes and fla­ vors. Remember those little candy hearts that have little phrases like"Be Mine" and "Love you" on them? They have anew version this year with the phrase "NOT." Before the last item is off the Christmas clear­ ance shelf, you begin to see the stock turning colors from Christmas green to Valentine's red. Hearts are everywhere, on cards andballoons,and ifit'snot printed on the item, then the item is in the shape of a heart. Valentine's Day is all about love. Out of all the ways to show your Valentine's spirit, flowers, candy, cards, etc., etc., etc., there is one symbol that sums up the entire Valentine's Day ritual in one word. Kiss. Whether it's that first innocent kiss on the monkeybars in third grade or the one night stand you barely remember last Saturday, the ultimate symbol for love is a kiss. What is a kiss? Hopefully we all know by now, but how do you describe it? You can't merely say well, it's wet, how rude! Many writers have tried to describe what exactly a kiss is in words. It is harder to describe than to perform. Try it for yourself. A kiss. A kiss is the anatomical juxtaposition of two orbicularis muscles in a state of contrac­ tion. A course of procedure, cunningly devised for the mutual stoppage of speech at a moment when words are superfluous. A kiss is a comma, a question mark and an exclamation point. A contraction of the mouth due to an enlarge­ ment of the heart. Something you cannot give without taking ®d cannot take without giving. A pleasant reminder that two heads are better than one. A word invented by poets as a rhyme for bliss. A secret told to the mouth. A sure sweet Cement, even glue. A vigorous exchange or simple osculation. Prelude to a grand symphony or prologue to verse. A rare medium well done. A gracious and beautiful erotic art. Like war, easy to begin but very hard to stop. A ghastly wine freshening and fortifying the ™"x's of its chosen and raising them beyond ught or care of worldly allurement A little haven of refuge from the world. ' w'Pes °ut all sense of time, destroying all °ry of beginning and all fear of an end. oth the pick up note and the coda, past and future taking place in the present. Intoxication. The art of beauty and the passion of nature. e ends that justifies all means. The inspiration for verse with time to rehears, Montgomery is accompanied in many vocal styles from classic opera to jazz. She has per­ formed in "Madame Butterfly," "The Bartered Bride, TheMcuy Widow" and'TheMarriageof Figaro. Montgomery has also been a featured soloist with many orchestras. Accompanied by pianist Carolyn Richie, Montgomery's performance incorporates a variety of costumes, dramatic and comic dialogue and music. The show includes a medley of wellknown Broadway showtunes from the past three decades. Since 1980, Montgomery has programmed, ad­ ministered and produced her own scries of variety programs including "Martha and Friends," "The Joy of Voice and Song" and "An Evening of the Classics in Song and Costume." In a telephone conversation with Montgomery, she enthusiastically explained the nature of her show and expressed her delight in the opportunity to sing at ASU. From classic opera to jazz, Montgomery is ac­ complished in several vocal styles. Her shows are characterized with variety, class, a bit of comedy and a closeness with the audience. "Broadway and All That Jazz" is a new show featuring Montgomery, pianist Richie and narrator Les Wallace as they take the audience back in time, through the history of Broadway. The show will begin with the opening number and a comfortable chat with the audience. Mont­ Students write, perform and direct in Festival By JASON GILBERT Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian State University's Playcrafters is sponsoring the eighth annual New Playwrights' Festival Feb. 13-15. Performances of three one-act plays begin each night at 8 in Greer Arena Theatre. Playcrafters, the student theatre organization, showcases plays written, directed, performed and produced by Appalachian students. The plays are winning entries in a playwriting contest held by the student organization each semester. The "New Playwrights' Festival" is produced by Playcrafters, and they are an exhibition of new student talent. The plays and director; were se­ lected by a committee comprised of members of Playcrafters.

The first of the evening is "Showbiz" written by C.F. Morgan HI, a junior theatre educa­ tion major, and directed by Andrew Lakin, a senior theatre education major. "Showbiz" is the story of five fantasy novel heroes, fresh from the fire pits of Gunnerron, on their way to rescue the Princess Julia, as seen through the eyes of a young boy. The cast includes Jimmy Jackson, a finance major, Nick Asa, a computer science/math educa­ tion major, Tony Mancuso, a marketing major, Jesse Padgett, a speech/history education major and Ranee Greene and Jason Gilbert, both theatre majors. Jenny Walton is the assistant director. The second show of the night is "Of Broken Glass" written by Heather M. Roberts, a junior, and directed by Jason Stewart, a senior, both theatre education majors. "Of Broken Glass" takes place during wartime. It is centered around relationships in a once happy family. Clara and Joe are now having marital problems, but that is not Clara's mainconcern. She is obsessed with her son Tyler, who is fighting in a war. The cast includes All ison Kay Briden, asopho­ more biology major, Kevin Thomasson, a junior hospitality managementmajor and M arc Mckirmey, a senior pre-medicine major. Emily Adams is the stage manager. The final show for the evening is "Spoons" written by Andrew Lakin and directed by Anna Ward, a senior theatre major. "Spoons" is a quickpaced comedy of errors. Three quirky characters interrupt the life of a young ambitious reporter, who is working on the interview that will be his big break. Through a private incognito meeting with a computer technology genius, he hopes to win the Pulitzer. But the paranoid genius won't go out in public undisguised. Needless to say, the reporter runs into problems trying to find the real man. The cast includes senior Paul Sean McCain, senior Lorena Lawrence, senior DarTell King and junior Snapper Morgan. The cast members are all theatre majors. Rebecca Havu is stage manager. Production stage manager for the event it Catherine Van Garden, a junior theatre education major. She is assisted by Tracy G.

Will the sudden success of Nirvana prove fatal to their true fans? I believe it already has. As of late, many different factors have caused bands to stray from the reality of what got them where they are today: their true fans. Guns N' Roses and Metallica are fine examples of bands that have changed immensely after com­ mercial success was achieved. Why is it hard for these bands, who come onto the scene preaching about the honesty of their music, to continue writing good, solid music? The almighty dollar plays a large role. No matter how serious a band is about their music, the dollar always lights up their greedy little eyes. It seems today that a few groups would rather sell out and forget their real fans by going where the money Ls. Guns N' Roses, for instance, sold millions of copies of"Appetite for Destruction."Look at when they sold the most copies though. After the release of "Sweet Child O' Mine," sales skyrocketed. People began piling on the Guns N' Roses band­ wagon. Compare "Appetite for Destruction" and the two new releases. The band took over four years to record these two albums, and it is nothing like "Appetite for Destruction." They added every­ thing from choirs to a clavinet on the new albums, none of which were on Appetite. Guns N' Roses made music to make money; in other words, they sold out. Look at the band now. There are only three original members left. Doesn't that say some­ thing? The band that broke all the rules and couldn't even get radio airplay in the early years is now on MTV and the radio every 30 minutes.

Montgomery will leave the stage after each segment tochange her costume giving narrator Les Wallace the opportunity to introduce the tunes that will follow. "Broadway and All That Jazz" features an array of familiar songs from a variety of famous shows. For example, Montgomery will don her Swiss Alps costume and perform songs from "The Sound of Music." The audience will even be given a singing lesson as she leads everyone in "Do-reme." The show will also feature "There's No Business Like Show Business," "I'll Play For You" and a surprise performance from pianist Richie, "The Maple Leaf Rag." You'll also recognize songs from "Show Boat," "The Merry Widow" and Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Cats." Montgomery is looking forward to re-visiting the mountains, as well as performing on Thursday night. She currently resides in Florida, where she busies herself with planning new shows and per­ forming with the Florida Orchestra. The restof her time, of course, is occupied with traveling and performing. She's been to our area before, and Blowing Rock and Beech Mountain are familiar to Mont­ gomery. Although Montgomery has not performed out­ side of the country, she has studied abroad. She acquired a particular fondness for Gratz, Austria, and would like to return someday. The cost is $3 for students and $5fornonstudents. What you get in return is an evening of song and singing lessons.

Special to The Appalachian Dudley Moore makes his label debut with "Songs Without Words." Musically inclined since the age of five, Moore is an internationally respected and admired composer and performer. As one of the music world's most accomplished artists, Moore's work has been celebrated and appreciated from his many classical and jazz al­ bums to his concert performances and film scores. On "Songs Without Words," Moore has com­ piled a collection of instrumental ballads. By col­ laborating with saxophonist Kenny G. on two of the pieces and by re-introducing music from his film "Six Weeks," as well as adding several origi­ nal compositions, Moore has produced a unique album. to be in such inspirational surroundings, attending Magdalen." Moore received both a B.A. Degree in Music and a B. Mus. (Music Composition) from Oxford, and upon his graduation in 1958 joined the Vic Lewis Orchestra, a jazz band in London, for which he played the pi ano. The band loured England, then went to the United States to perform. When the band completed its New York dates, Moore remained behind to play at The Duplex, a small, intimate jazz club in Greenwich Village. Moore spent the next few years just trying to survive. "I did most anything," he said. "I wrote commercial jingles for Pepsi and Pepsodent tooth­ paste that played in the West Indies. I wrote an original ballet for the Western Theatre BalletCom­ pany and worked as the resident composer at the "Current songs are so specific," said Moore. "These "Songs Without Words' allow the listener to use his own imagination and decide for himself what the music means and what moods are pro­ voked by the sounds." In arriving at thislastest point of releasing "Songs Without Words," Moore has drawn extensively on his impressive musical background. Born in Dagenham, Essex, near London, Moore was a choirboy at the age of five. As soon as he could clamber up onto the bench, he was playing the piano, and by 10 he was studying the violin with a local music teacher. At 18 Moore's considerable musical abilities won him an organ scholarship to the prestigious Magdalen College, Oxford University. "It was a dream come true," said Moore. "Oxford was a beautiful place, and I realized how fortunate I was Royal Court Theatre in London. I was busy creat­ ing work for myself." In 1969 Moore was invited to become a part of an innovative revue, "Beyond the Fringe." Origi­ nally staged at Scotland's Edinburgh Festival, the satirical collection of skits and music brought together the talents of Peter Cook (Moore's subse­ quent long-standingcollaborator). Jonathan Miller, Alan Bennett and Moore. "Beyond the Fringe" played in London for two years before it became a huge hit on Broadway at the Golden Theatre, ultimately winning special Tony Awards. "Although we were a smash hit in New York, I was surprised and a bit disappointed that I wasn't flooded with film and television offers," Moore said. "1 remained in New York to play the RainSee ACTOR page 4 �-1'he Appalachian Thurviax. F,hriiary j ? jnrn Continued from page 3 The true fans see what's going on and won't succumb to blind faith. Now let's look at Metallica. As of now they have released two ballads off their latest album. How many ballads have they released before this album? None. How many albums have they released? This is their sixth release. This is the band that was glad to not get any radio air-play so as to not conform. What happened? Metallica would have been my last guess as a band to sell out. It seems like no one is willing to take a stand in the hard rock scene anymore. When the record companies start flash­ ing green, the bands conform to their re­ quests. Nirvana is quite a strange situation. They have a great album, but I don't think the majority of "Nirvana fans" are true fans. It seems everyone talks about Nir­ vana and their sudden success, not the band, not the music. I think that the majority of people like "Smells Like Teen Spirit," not Nirvana. MTV and radio stations have proceeded to nm the song into the ground beyond be­ lief. Nirvana's mentality is quite strange also. An interview in "Rolling Stone"said their bass player called the largest part of Nirvana fans "dumb kids." If he feels this way about his fans maybe he should give up playing live, because that is who comes to see the shows. The big question is, will Nirvana suc­ cumb to the spell of commercial success? It is hard to tell, but I'm willing to lay money down that they will not be the same band when their next album is released, if their next album is released. Actor Continued from page 3 bow Room and a few other clubs, but returned to London to appear in the TV version of "Beyond the Fringe" and to perform in numerous television programs for both the BBCand IndependentTelevision." Moore began recording and releasing jazz albums and found an appreciative audience with records such as "Genuine Dud," "Dudley Moore at the Wavendon Festival," "Dudley Down Under," "The Music of Dudley Moore," and the very popular "The Other Side of Dudley Moore," which became the biggest sell­ ing jazz album of 1965 in England.

Spurlock led all rebounders with 15 boards. Appalachian inks 23 gridiron recruits By SHEA GRIFFIN Appalachian Sports Editor Appalachian took its first lead of the contest assophomore forward Ricky Nedd laid it in at the 19:14 mark of the second half. The Mountaineer lead crept to six and settled at four midway through the second half when the officials charged Apke with a technical foul. Bulldog senior guard Todd Holstein missed both free tosses at the 10:16 mark, and then The Citadel turned the ball over on the ensuing possession. "I felt there were a couple of key times in the second half that we failed to regain control of the game," The Citadel Head Coach Randy Nesbit said. "We failed to get any points on the technical foul shots, and then we didn't score on the ensuing possession. That was a real disappoint­ ment." With the free throws and the posses­ sion, the Dogs could have tied the contest or taken the lead; however, ASU scored on twoconsecutive possessions and pulled ahead by 11 at the 8:17 mark. The 11-point advantage came as Spurlock spun along the left baseline, working down low for the basket and a foul. His three-point play gave the Moun­ taineers a 59-48 cushion. The Bulldogs cut the App lead to six twice in the closing eight minutes, but they failed to come any closer as free See APPS page 6 Appat»ch*n Photo by Troy Horock APPSIMPROVET06-3INSC: Appalachian State forwardTim Powers goes for two against Furman. The Mountaineers upended The Citadel 78-65 Monday to improve to 6-3 in the Southern Conference. Southern Conference champion Appa­ lachian State replenished its gridiron squad last week with the addition of 23 recruits. ASU Recruiting Coordinator Gary Grif­ fin said the Mountaineer coaching staff was pleased with the outcome of the sign­ ing period. "It was a success," Griffin said. "It was right on target with what our needs were." The Mountaineers, who finished 8-4 overall and earned a trip to the Division IAA playoffs in HeadCoach JerryMoore's third season, had several key areas to fill, including theoffensive line and defensive secondary. Griffin said the Apps were able to patch up those areas in the signing period. "We signed eight offensive linemen and four defensive linemen. Some of the offensive linemen can play both ways," Griffin said. Griffin said that unlike in 1990, when Appalachian Sate signed a lot of junior college linemen, all eight newcomers to the Mountaineer line are freshmen. "This year is a lotdifferent than 1990," Griffin explained. "We feel like we've got adequate depth to fill those spots right now. We feel like we can maintain the level of consistency we've had with high school kids. We'll have these guys for four years. "The offensive linemen we signed are very capable," Griffin continued. "Sev­ eral will play for us next year. Some of the guys have good size and some have good speed." The Apps also searched for replace­ ments for three starting defensive backs as All-Southern Conference picks Gary Dandridge and Mark Mayo as well as Steve Wilks have completed their eligi­ bility. "We were maybe a defensive back short," Griffin said. "We wanted to sign three defensive backs and we signed two. But, we signed a linebacker who may be able to play in the secondary." Griffin said that, like in 1991, the Moun­ taineers also wanted to add more speed to their roster and were able to do just that. "We think every one of these guys can run, even the linemen," Griffin said."The linebackers and defensive linemen we signed are really fast for their position. You have got to have speed on the line." ASU also concentrated more on in­ state recruiting this year, landing ^play­ ers from North Carolina. In 1991, the Mountaineers signed only five North Caro­ lina natives and inked 1Oout-of-state players. Griffin said there were more in-state players available this year. "The NCAA cut three scholarships fr&m I-A football programs this year,"Griffin said. "There are five I-A schools in the state, which meant there were 15 addi• See RELOAD page 6 Lady Mountaineers drop overtime decision to UNC-Greensboro ByLYDIA E.

"He had a very impressive win over a top opponent from the conference." Orris was leading The Citadel'sTony McKay (standing 132 in the conference), 7-0, when he was able to secure a pin. "This season has been a learning expe­ rience," Orris said."It's a whole different ballgame in college. Hopefully this expe­ rience will pay off next year and in the years to come."

The music continues droughout the station's 24-hour, seven-day-a-week format, and the music outweighs the talk, as paid advertising is not permitted. Visiting musical guests are also spotlighted on the air. As for sports, student sportscasters cover live action and feature Appala­ chian athletes and coaches as guests on call-in shows. The latest national sports topics are also handled by the department. Whether it's play-by-play or commentary, the WASU sports department has a student covering the action for you. The station offers an excellent source of student information. Public service announcements are aired sharing the latest campus events with the listening public. Students write, edit and produce the spots which inform of meetings, plays, concerts and other campus and local events. The station opens its doors to all students, and that open door serves as a great opportunity to gain experience in the radio broadcast field. Disk jockeys leam from the ground up, as do sports analysts, newscasters and promotional employees. WASU is an excellent place for ASU's communication-broad­ cast majors to begin to build experience (experience that will last a lifetime). The station is located on the third floor of Wey Hall and can be reached by calling 262-3170. If you are a member of a campus organization and want to inform students of an upcoming event, give the station a call, or drop them a typed public service announcement. Or if you have a request, call in. Or just call or stop by and see the station, or ask to get involved. WASU will celebrate lls 20th anniversary only once, and your only chance to catch the variety offered by the station is during your time at Appalachian. Once you leave Appalachian, you may realize just what an opportunity WASU can be. Happy Anniversary WASU! February 13, 1992 Valentine's Day, the holiday everyone either loves or hates, is tomorrow. Valentine's Day is a holiday of love. It has become associated more with romantic love than with love in general and whether you love or hale Valentine's Day probably depends on whether you have a significant other person to share it with. Every Feb. 14 it seems that those who are involved in the dating scene crowd the candy and card stores and the florists. Meanwhile, those whodon'thave someone to buy cards and flowers and candy for sit in front of the TV watching soaps, eating Cheetos and making cynical com­ ments about the goo-goo eyed lovebirds who are crowd­ ing the stores. Valentine's Day didn't start out being a romantic holi­ day. It is named after St. Valentine, who lived in the third century A.D. in Rome. Valentine was a Christian during a time when Romans were expected to worship the em­ peror, and Christians were persecuted. St. Valentine was one of those who refused to worship the emperor, saying "Jesus Christ is my Lord," and was thrown to the lions. According to legend, St. Valentine was friends with a little boy who was blind. Before he died, he gave the little boy a piece of paper cut into the shape of a heart to remember him by. Thus came the use of hearts on Valentine's Day and the expression "Be my Valentine." I personally happen to like Valentine's Day. Of course there was a time when I, too, would have been cynical. But now I enjoy picking out presents, not just for my boy­ friend, but for family and friends too. Valentine's Day isn't just for romantic love, but for all kinds of love. Of course we shouldn't need a holiday to love our family, boyfriends or girlfriends and friends. Love is for every day of the year. Valentine's Day just gives us an opportunity in our otherwise busy schedules to take time out and tell those significant in our lives how much we appreciate them. When we were kids it was easier tocelebrate Valen tine's Day. For one thing, it didn't cost as much. Also, we weren't so stressed out. But most importantly, it wasn't as important to be in love romantically with someone to have a good Valentine's Day. In elementary school we had something to keep Valen­ tines in, aid we bought a box of Valentines for the whole class. The boxes usually came with about 30 Valentines and onefor the teacher. We sent V alen tines to classmates, and we got Valentines from most everyone in the class. Only the Charlie Browns of the world had reason to be cynical about Valentine's Day as a kid. Then in high school we had the groups that sold carna­ tions—while meaning "Friendship," pink meaning "I like you" and red meaning "I love you." This was probably about the time people started getting cynical. Junior high and high school are the ages when people start dating, or at least, start hoping to date. Those who manage to get dates are lucky; those who don't are left saying, "Love stinks anyway." But at least we have white carnations to remind us of the importance of our friendships as well as our dating relationships. Once we get to college, we are still being sold carna­ tions and roses. But the emphasis on romance on Valentine's Day seems to increase. Cards meant for friends and family are sold, but not in nearly as great a quantity as sweetheart cards. More Valentine's Day cynics appear than ever, with good reason. The aspects of Valentine's Day other than romance seem to disap­ pear. Boyfriends and girlfriends, moms and dads, brothers and sisters, grandparents, roommates, friends, coworkers and the person you passed on the way to math class this morning are all important on Feb. 14, as well as any other day of the year. Everyone needs to give and receive love. Valentine's Day is the perfect reminder of this fact. In the midst of first tests, papers, projects and just stress in general, sometimes it's hard to take time to show how much we love and appreciate each other.But Feb.14 gives us this opportunity, if nothing else to just take five minutes and send a card or give a hug to someone we appreciate. Mom and Dad—thanks far always being there. And thanks for paying the bill when I call hone three times a week. I love you. Emi, my look-alike little sister—you're always fun to share a room with on the rare instances that I get lo go home. Good luck on the School of Science and Math application. Adam—don't turn 13 too soon; it'll be hard to have a teenager far a little brother. I miss you. Art—the past year and a half has been the best of my life. I love you very much, and I'll never need a holiday to remind me of that. Michele—thanks for being a wonderful roomie. And thanks for not threatening to throw my Tom Petty tapes out the window. Keep spreading the good news about Jesus. Donna, Jennifer, Kelli, Dane11, Jonathan, Ellen, Erik— thanks for being such great friends. Kim—you've been great to work for. Thanks for being so patient when I lake 20 minutes lo tell you what's going lo be on my page. The Appalachian staff—you guys are awesome. Writers—good job; keep it up. David—you've also been great to work for. Thanks for all the advice. Lutheran Students of Appalachian and Pastor Bob—all of you have been wonderful friends to me. Keep praising the Lord. Professors, past and present—because of you I can speak French and know a few things about running a classroom. I never thought I'd leam so much. You've worked miracles. Anybody I've left out—I hope you know how much I appreciate you. Valentine's Day is a time to show love. Of course it's a time to show romantic love. But it's also time for other types of love—love of family and love of friends. Take time out on Feb. 14 to express your love to your boyfriend or girlfriend. But also take time out for your mom, dad, brother, sister, roommate, friends, coworkers and the passerby who has his head hung down and looks like he could really use a hug. St. Valentine probably never dreamed he'd have his own holiday. But if he had, he'd want it to be a day in which we all show how much we love each other. Editor's note: Tarlet on is a junior from Wilson. She is majoring in French education. America should live up to its promises By CHRIS PARRISH Appalachian Staff Writer This is achallenge to you. Before I state this challenge, however, I would like to give some background to why this affects every person. I really gel aggravated by some of the people in this country who do not have any common sense, or very little. This may seem harsh, but, if you look at the situation in the United States, you might ask, "What is wrong?" I have an answer. Unfortunately, people will not or cannot heed it. My answer is do what you say you are going to do. Is this too simple? Ironically, it is. Am I off on a tangent by thinking this, or have I lost it all together? Nope, I do not think so. I have just come to the point where I say enough is enough, and I will not let people who cannot live up to their own promises con­ trol my way of life. It really amazes me that a bank on campus with only two tellers, who work for a huge banking institution devoted to helping individuals with their banking needs and act as financial intermediaries, need a two-hour lunch break from 1 to 3 p.m. These are the hours of the day when most students are on campus. It also amazes me that when I go to see the head of Student Programs, not Univer­ sity Programsor Alumni Programs (should they exist), but Student Programs, he has left for the day at 2:30 pjn. on a Tuesday afternoon. Why? Is this really necessary on a day early in the week and during normal business hours? I am not writing this to slam anyone or anything in particu­ lar, twt I just do not approve of this atti­ tude. Should anyone be content withO.K.? I do not think so, and I hope Americans feel the same way. All this heavy competition with Japan really bothers me. They have trumped us at our own game, and now the younger, brighter generation has to deal with it. The United States is still, by far, the number one power in the world, but quite possibly, not for long. What frustrates me is when the Japa­ nese Prime M inister comes to our country and c a]Is the American people lazy.1 think to myself, "Who is this guy, and where does he get off with this attitude?" Then I think, "Is he that far off?" I don't think so. Do not get me wrong,I love this country and to be an American is spectacular. I just, for the life of me, cannot understand why companies, schools and ultimately the government, do not follow through with what they say they are going to do. If they say they are going to make quality cars, make them. If they say they are going to help you with all your financial transac­ tions, do it. If they say they will not raise taxes, then don't Is this crazy? Well of course not This is, however, the core of the problems in America. Call me a heathen, but is it too much to ask for to expect results from those who tell us they will give us results? I feel there is a time for change. There­ fore, it is really up to us, the newer genera­ tions to mm the attitude in this country around. This is my challenge to you. . I challenge you to beat the depression; I challenge you to gel a job; I challenge you lo be happy and have your 2.4 chil­ dren; but ultimately, I challenge you to'do what you say you are going to do, because if you don't, someone across the Pacific will. Work does not stop for low temperatures The men on the road crews I saw were bundled up in layers of sweats and would be out there working for hours. The students I saw on their 10 to 15 minute walks between warm buildings were wearing down and Polarguard, heavy overcoats and bulky gloves or mittens—basically high-tech winter clothing. Is Mr. Duncan suggesting that we legislate procedures for the most effete members of our society? By GARY LARSON the far side David Huntley Orientation/Core Studies Program Republicans did not deserve criticism Class should still be held when cold To the Editor: Fleaboys While Doug Duncan w as contemplat­ ing skipping classes on Thursday, Jan. 16, road crews were outside working all over Watauga County, skiers were sliding on the slopes and little children and old men in Minnesota stepped out into air that registered below zero on the thermometer, with the wind chill far below that. To the Editor: P.W. Glidewell (Jan. 30/David Duke: the Honest Republican) has a few things to learn about the Republican party. Glidewell needs to help reform the backwards Democratic Party rather than criticize a party he does not know the first thing about. So, let's examine Glidewell's letter, step by step: 1. The government is stifling our economy. The Democrats claim that Bush will not help the economy. Bush, like Reagan before him, has proposed bold plans that would spur the economy. The Democrats; however, complain that these plans will not work, even though they have never tried them. Let's remember that Congress appropri­ ates the money. Congress raises the money and Congress is controlled by the Democrats. 2. Reverse discrimination does exist. We'll admit that it is not near as prevalent as regular discrimination, but it still exists. Though the Democrats' civil rights bill does not prescribe quotas, it does, for the first time in history, put the burden of proof on the defendant instead of the prosecutor. 3. We, as Republicans, care very much about the environment We know the Democrats care about the environ­ ment and want to help, but they do not offer any practical solutions for improving it Solar power is not yet efficient enough, battery power does not provide enough energy and. like it or not, oil makes the world go around. Oil is not only used for gasoline but also is used in the production of other products. 4. The Democrats control Congress, and Congress controls domestic policy. Look at the sorry shape the home front is in. The Republicans control the presidency, and the president controls foreign policy. Foreign policy has been America's only recent huge success. Communism is basically dead; the Soviet Union is gone; the Arabs and Israelis are talking about peace; the Medillin drug cartel has been brought down; apartheid is ending; Cuba is isolated; democracy and capitalism are in Eastern Europe; the hostages have been freed and Saddam Hussein, while still in power, has been defanged and can no longer threaten his neighbors. Gee, it seems to us that the Republi­ cans have done quite well. What have the Democrats done? We have been tolc that if you cannot say something nice, do not say anything at all. Well, we guess we will not say anything. Mr. Glidewell.

U's four year graduation rate ranks in the University of North Carolina nil32.6 percent for freshmen who entered ASU in thefall of 1987 and should have graduated in the spring of 1991, according to Gurley. ASU's four year graduation rate is above the 27.8 percent average of the 16 schools in the UNC-system. North Carolina State University has thehighest fouryear gradu­ ation rate at 61.3 percent, and Fayetteville State has the lowest, at 8.3 percent. Appalachian's tuition and fees for this semester are $623.75 for in-state stu­ dents, and $3,150.75 for out-of-state stu­ dents. From these figures, $285.75 of each amount is for fees; the remainder is for tuition. The NC General Assembly sets tuition rates, and the university sets the fees. Using these figures, students who do not graduate in four years from ASU would have to pay more than $2,500 more if the idea for the tuition increase becomes con­ crete. The idea is directly targeted at in-state students because they are the students receiving state funds for their education, according to Gurley. The state appropri­ ated $5,914 per in-state ASU student, according to Bob Baker, controller for Appalachian. On Feb. 6 the Charlotte Observer reported that Zane Eargle, the president of Pfeiffer College, said the average state appropriation for in-state students was $7,000. 15,000 lost yearly uversity explores laundry options ANDA NELSON thian News Editor HATCH chian Staff Writer dry vandalism costs ASU $15,000 11 year.

Junior Jeannie English said, "Laundry is a neces­ sity, and it should be provided for us like food is, by a charge on housing." The vandalism that students cause has been a concern to the administration be­ cause of the high cost of repairing the machines, Canipe said. The usual cost of repairing a broken coin operating mecha­ nism of a washer or dryer is from $14 to $40 including parts and labor. East Residence Hall led residence halls in vandalism incidences with 55 for the year. Other coed halls followed with Hoey at 48, Doughton at 43 and Justice at 40. All female dorm averages were signifi­ cantly lower than coed and Frank, the only all male residence hall which had 33 reported incidents. The lowest all-female average was three in Newland, which has no reported inci­ dents this semester.The highest all female average was in Eggers at 19. See graphic on page two for additional figures. The law of North Carolina states clearly in General Statute 14-56.2, "Any person who shall willfully and maliciously dam­ age or destroy a coin operated machine shall be guilty of a misdemeanor punish­ able by fine or imprisonment or both in the discretion of the court." Canipe said, "The university will seek to prosecute any and all violators of this law to the fullest punishment." Vandalism is currently handled on the student judiciary level, but Canipe has said the university may seek to bring up civil charges against violators. The machines cost $.75 per wash and $.75 to dry. Sophomore Tracy Quinones said, "I believe the price is too high.

As director of state affairs, Gurley rep­ resents ASU at monthly meetings of the NC Association of Student Government. The association meets once a month, with representatives from all 16 of the UNCsystem schools. According to Gurley, the association had a lengthy discussion in January about the tuition increase that North Carolina state legislators are talk­ ing about. The idea is not a proposal yet, it is only being discussed, according to Gurley. "The reason we need to look at this now is because it is best to stop it before it really even gets started," said Gurley. Ward Zimmerman, vice chancellor for business affairs,said he had heard nothing of the state legislators' plan. For this plan to be put into effect, it would have to be drawn up in bill form by a committee in the general assembly. The committee sponsoring the bill wouldhave to pass it, and then it would come to the floor for a vote. According to Gurley, the general assembly will not meet in full session to vote until May. "Another reason we need to become aware of this issue now is because the general assembly meets in May, while students are all out of school for the sum­ mer, and students could come back in the fall and learn about this too late, after it has already been passed," said Gurley. The position of the NC Association of Student Government is against any in­ crease in tuition, according to Gurley. He also said that ASU's student government is opposed to the idea. "I think it's a serious flaw on the part of the state legislators," said Gurley. "I agree that graduation rates are of concern, but I don't think this is the way to deal with it." Gurley said he feels that one reason four year graduation rates are as low as they are is because of the number of nontraditional students who now attend col­ lege. See TUITION page 4 Dropout rate falls By JENNY HARTW1GER Appalachian Staff Writer The dropout rate for high school stu­ dents in North Carolina has declined sig­ nificantly in the last three years, improv­ ing Appalachian State University's aver­ age incoming freshman's qualifications, said Joseph Watts, director of admissions and enrollment services. Because more students are finishing high school, colleges are receiving more applications. In 1991-92, ASU received 7,700 applications but will enroll 1,885 students, according to Watts. "The more students who graduate from high school the better off we will be," Watts said. ASU admissions has almost finished accepting applications for the 1992-93 school year.The freshmen classshould be filled by March 15."Appalachian is com­ mitted to quality, rather than quantity" Watts said. The average SAT score for the fresh­ men class of 1987 was 934, in 1988 it was 954, in 1989 it was 967, in 1990 the average fell to 956, in 1991 the score rose to 971 and Watts predicts that the average for 1992 will be even higher. Admission representatives from ASU visit students from every public high school in North Carolina. The representa­ tives may visit one high school in a county but make sure all of the students from the other high schools in that county are transported in for the occasion. Appalachian prefers to visit high schools during the school day rather than at a college night. Because not all students have transporta­ tion or available time in the evenings. Watts said.

(CPS)—These days, movies arenotjust made in Hollywood. As production companies scout differ­ ent locations and different looks, college campuses nationwide have caught their attention.

'They want to know, 'Do we have the right look, the right light, the space that they need?' " How the scouts find the campuses var­ ies.

The Indiana Film Commission does not solicit films at its schools, but, "We do get requests, usually for Notre Dame, In­ diana University and Ball State," said Lisa Duda, a member of the IFC. 'We then usually talk to the president of the school or an administrator and tell them the storyline because most don't want to be associated with something negative. "Then, we let them handle it," Duda said. One of the most well-known movies filmed at a college in Indiana is "Breaking Away," shot almost entirely on the Indi­ ana University campus in the 1970s. Miami University, in Oxford, Ohio, about 30 miles northwest of Cincinnati, got involved as a possible film site for "Little Man Tate" through the Cincinnati Film Commission, which persuaded di­ rector Jodie Foster to film the movie pri­ marily in Cincinnati and surrounding ar­ eas.

Hall Time to apply for campus housing: All students anticipating a need for oncampus housing for the 1992-93 academic year should be prepared to pick up a housing license contract/application from the RA on duty each night in the residence hall (if the student currently lives on-campus) or from the Office of Residence Life (if the student currently lives off-campus) from Monday, Feb. 10 through Friday, Feb. 14. Current on-campus residents can turn in the housing license contract/application at the offices located in each residence hall. Offcampus students can submit license contract/applications at the Residence Life Office. Any current Appalachian student submitting a housing license contract/ application after 5 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 14 will be placed on the waiting list. No deposit is required by a student to apply for housing. At the time an assignment is made, however, the student presented with the assignment is required to make a confirmation pre-payment.

Today's new breed of activist is in­ formed, educated and not fueled by emo­ tion, say student leaders. And there is a distinction between ser­ vice volunteerism, also a trend on campuses today, and hard-core activism, where students are prepared to make a greater personal sacrifice, if necessary, for thenbeliefs. South African divestment stirred the it of student activists of the '80s, and iheit outcry was heard throughout the country. Since the release of Nelson Mandela, the African National Congress leader and die lifting of apartheid laws in South Af­ rica, much of the uproar over universities investing in companies doing business in South Africa has fizzled. The shanty towns constructed by student activists are gone, and in some cases, universities are quietly re-examining di­ vestment policies. Students also cite the recession for declining interest in South Africa. Most activists say they prefer to work within the system, such as the USSA. Others state, that if necessary, they will use non-violent sit-ins, demonstrations ana other acts of civil disobedience to make their point. "Students are not apathetic. They are mobilizing on more and more issues," said Shah, whose organization lobbies Congress on student related issues from tuition to curriculum reform. "We work within the system." Shah, on leave from Rutgers Univer­ sity, says she will always be a political activist and admits having a talent for organizing for social change. "Education is a right for making a better society,"she said. Some activist groups report asharp rise in student interest since the Persian Gulf War, publicized incidents of racial and ethnic v iolence and theongoing economic ills suffered by their colleges and univer­ sities. "Students are experiencing having classes cut and (they are) increasingly making the connection to military spend­ ing, which will be $291 billion in 1992, and they are saying 'let's take the money out of there,' " said Bruce Gagnon, who organizes students for the Florida Coali­ tion for Peace and Justice. "1 predict peace­ ful demonstrations over military spend­ ing on campuses." "Activism tends to be a way of life, a willingness to do things, to sacrifice your­ self. Many people are willing to gel ar­ rested to do what they believe in," said Blair Palese, a Greenpeace spokesperson, who says that students comprise a large number in the international environmen­ tal group. Greenpeace, whose policy is non-vio­ lence and"direct action"such as blocking shipments of nuclear waste or hanging protest banners on bridges, has attracted thousands of students since the environ­ ment has become the most popular issue on campuses. U.S. membership is 1.8 million. Palese said that students have an "un­ derstanding of protecting the environment and atmosphere" from nuclear hazards and toxic waste because they are"without a lot of economic ties." "They get involved at an age where they believe they can make a difference," she said. One student group, the Progressive Stu­ dent Network, says there is a link between social ills found on college campuses. "We are fighting racism, sexism, heterosexism. militarism. There is a root cause that needs to change before these can change," said Kim Feicke, national office coordinator of PSN, a 25-campus organization that organizes demonstra­ tions and sit-ins to make a public state­ ment. Feicke says there are six new campuses with PSN offices since the Persian Gulf War. "We bring in speakers, show films and sponsor discussions about these is­ sues. We give out literature, too," said Feicke, who added that there currently is a concern about the activities of white supremacy groups since former kl ansman David Duke's recent bid Tor Louisiana governor. "I think volunteerism can be a way to get rid of the guilt. Activism is something you commit your life to. It is much more of a commitment," said Brooke Webster, a former Eastern Illinois University stu­ dent. Webster is a student organizer for CISPES (Citizens in Solidarity for the People of El Salvador). The Washington-based organization, which started in 1980, now claims 73 Appletree Apartments Individually Fireproofed Fully Furnished • 2 Bedrooms • 2 Bathrooms NO NEED TO • Up to 4 Parking Spaces per Unit REGISTER CARS ON • Dishwasher CAMPUS • Washing Machine & Dryer • Microwave ft/; ftp 5 o o • Ceiling Fan ^ ^ ^^ • Disposal 6 %L ' 5 %L 1 O Corner of Water & Howard Streets behind Heilig Meyers chapters and said their goal is to "stop U.S. intervention and st^rport democracy in El Salvador." CISPES, according to Webster, is a loose organization of reli­ gious groups and human rights activists. "Students are pushing older activists to stay involved, the ones that are burned out," said Webster, who is taking 25 stu­ dents to El Salvador next year to observe conditions there. Webster became interested in Central America in high school when she read a traveler's journal that described "lortue and desperation" of the people. She said she began gathering research and eventu­ ally joined CISPES. Many activist groups such as CISPES claim they have endured FBI probes and harassment from right-wing groups. Some groups say surveillance and de­ structive tactics by government agencies continue to hamstring activities. Other student social causes are not as heated. Homelessness,forexample, while not as headline-grabbing as the environ­ ment and not as controversial as issues espoused by CISPES and PSN, is gather­ ing support as an activist cause as the recession continues to rob citizens of a place to live.

SMITH Appalachian Et Cetera Editor Since elementary school, teachers have had us writing our first reportson black leaders during the month of February. The following people that have given so much to history are not known by many Americans. I feel ashamed to admit I had not heard of many of these people beforeI read"Do You Know These Famous Americans" by Wallace Terry from Parade Maga­ zine. Phillis Wheatley, a slave, studied Milton and copied his intricate andclassic style of writing. She visited England and was given a copy of Milton's "Paradise Lost" in the court of George HI by London's Lord Mayor. j, TERESA L. SMITH yitori«l Production Coordinator In my opinion, one of the greatest things tout college is the freedom students have to do yhat they want. True, college students must [vote i certain amount of time to studying and (flting, but in general, college leisure time is he most fun many of us will ever have. When else in your life will you be able to pok and act any way you want? When else can oustay up all night and play cards, with eople you just met, and not have to be "perky" weight hours of work the next day? When else aiyou hang out with and even date people ,lio are totally unlike you, just for the chance jleam ways of thinking other than your own? Though summer jobs may require us to look unewhat "normal" in those three months of icaiion, during the school year we have the jk and right to look any way we choose. I've decided to take full advantage of this ime. Perhaps if I dress as strangely as possible nd dye my hair every color I can think of, I (ill never have a mid-life crisis because I will ive worked through all of my weirder asyncrasies. I may appear "normal" again once I have iduated and am in the "real world," (where ti(ty tells us how we will look and act or else atfind a job) but at least I will know that 1 had much fun as I wanted to and did everything I wld to spice up my life. In fact, perhaps when limold and gray (and, hopefully, retired), I'll lick up where I left off and dye my hair chsia. It could be that the crises some older icans seem to go through is a result of ision in earlier life. These people try ibly hard to be static Americans and, fore, never get to do what others would stupid or strange. When these people finally get in their 40s and 50s, they realize that ley haven't had the life they wanted and regret ktdoing the things that they wanted to. [ People are so worried about what others will link, they never let their hair down. I have had ®wy people tell me that they wish they had the nerve to do something weird or different to their H*arance. It amazes me how conservative some college ""dents are, especially at ASU. In fact, "nservatism seems to flow freely within some kpattments. So far, the most conservative "Pattmcnt I have had a place in is the "mmunicalions department. I had expected the communications departto be predominately liberal and the "glish department to be conservative, but I ,|s wtainly mistaken. Not that I think '®servatism is a bad thing for some people, ause people are entitled to their own Ihnions, but these opinions are personal and l°uld not be forced on others. ' helieve that college is the time for exploring e*perimenting. This is many people's first •nee to be away from their parents and try Ht their own personalities. It is undisputed fact that parents shape the ^tonalities of children, so when students allege, they may find that the attitudes "jJitave always had, simply because their J*'rits ^toouraged such thought, are not what •J Ituly believe anymore. In this case, they change their beliefs to fit what they feel is nally right for themselves. ^ls Important for people to develop their Personalities, and to do so, many people ^ 'explore different types of behavior.

Bungee captures ASU By WILLIAM PURCELL Appalachian Diversions Editor Appfchiin Photo by trey nortc* WHAT A BUZZ! Appalachian Diversions Editor William Purcell, takes a brave bungee jump to experience the subject of his article first-hand. This month Bungee Unlimited, Inc. opened on highway 421. Bungee jumping is a new thrill seeking craze that has captured America's attention through the media. You have seen the clips of the couple taking their marriage vows seconds before they plunge off a bridge. You have seen people jumping off towers, out of balloons and from cages suspended from towering cranes. Experience this thrill of a lifetime in Boone. Bungee jumping is here, and it is here to stay. Owners of Bungee Unlimited Inc., Judy Davis and Mike Owen, first jumped in New Zealand three years ago. Now they are giving the High Country a chance to experience the post bungee buzz. Three weeksago it was just another cow pasture. No w a small lot just outside of Boone on Highway 421 boasts a crane, a small trailer and a ton of people who all come out to jump or just to watch. You go through several safety checks before jumping. "You are checked three times by three different people," said owner Judy Davis."Every­ thing has a back-up feature." Bungee Unlimited Inc. is a member of the North American Bungee Association. The NABA has specific suppliers of bungee jumping equipment, and only licensed members may purchase theequip­ ment. All of the equipment used by the jumpers has been tested and certified. The two-piece harness was designed specifically for bungee jumping. The bungee cords have been tested for up to 4,500 lbs. to ensure the user's safety. The cords are rubber with a nylon casing. The cords will only be used for 1,500 jumps, then they will be sent back to the manufacturer to be destroyed. You may jump using anywhere from four to seven cords according to your weight. If you do not use the proper number of cords for your weight you will not experience a full rebound which is part of the thrill of bungee jumping. The rebound is 80 to 90 percent of your fall. The cage is specifically designed for bungee jumping. The jumper, the jumpmaster and one guest can ride up. Bungee Unlimited will have ankle jumps and night jumping in the coming months. This spring and summer they hope to be open five to seven days a week. Currently, you are hoisted to 150 feet, and the bungee cord strectches for 100 feet. Bungee Un; limited hopes to soon have jumps at 240 feet. " There is only one other place to tangee jump in North Carolina, Balloons Over Charlotte. Balloons Over Charlotte takes the participant up in a hot air balloon to jump."The problem with balloon jumping is you are very dependent on the wind. With the crane you don't have to shut down," said Davis. "Why Boone? Well, there are enough crazy people in Boone to do it," said owner Judy Davisr. "There are enough outdoor enthusiasts, mountain climbers and kayakers to support the business." Bungee Unlimited has invested a large amount of money into setting up the bungee jump opera­ tion. They have had to purchase die crane and a one million dollar liability policy. Davis said that all jumpers have to sign a liability waiver, and no one is allowed to jump if they are under the influence of alcohol. There has been one death in die United States from bungee jumping. "The death resulted from using an inferior harness. He didn't hook himself in correcdy, he was alone and no one double checked him. That is why we have three people check," said Davis. The cost is $75 for the first jump or $99 for two back to back jumps. Each jump after the firstis $50.. No time limits exist for the second jump.There are discounts for groups of 10 or 20 or more. Bungee Unlimited hopes to offer special rates in the future and sponsor days for certain groups. They will begin taking reservations in anticipation of large, crowds with the coming of spring and warm, weather. Bungee Unlimited iscurrendy open every week­ end from noon until dark. Bungee Unlimited is one of almost 100 official bungee jumping locations in the United States.; They hope to expand to Raleigh and to beach' locations. Bungee Unlimited invites anyone just to come out and watch. Camp Fair held in Plemmons Student Union By KATE ROBINSON Appalachian Staff Writer Five southeast states will represent a total of 44 camps in the Camp Fair today in the Pub and Mini Mall in the Plemmons Student Union from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Camp Fair is sponsored by the Office of Conferences and Institutes. Summer camp is a tradition for children and an asset for employment for college students. Coun­ selors have theopportunity to helpchildren unlock their potential and develop trust and self-reliance while having fun. "Parents will be able to shop for a camp on site," said Fay Binning, director of youth programs for the university's Office of Conferences and Insti­ tutes. "Any kind of camp you can imagine will be here." Today's summer camps offer a variety of inter­ ests. One can choose from camps offering pro­ grams in horseback riding, aquatics, technology, mountain climbing, sports, robotics, music and academics. This is the third year of the Camp Fair but the first to offer a catering to parents. Not only can students find applications for employment, but parents can enroll their children in a camo today. "It's important to consider a child's personality, interests and needs whenchoosing asummer camp," Binding said. It is also important to know something about the camp's operations. "Many camps are accredited by the American Camping Association (which will be based here for the next two years)," Binning said. To be accredited, camps must meet standards dealing with health and safety, nutrition, program­ ming and personnel. "The Camp Fair also helps students find sum­ mer jobs," Binning said. "Appalachian is known for its camp people. Camps love to come here and recroit, not just students majoring in recreation and outdoor programs but those majoring in business and biology." Each year 600-1,000 students come through the Camp Fair. The camps recruit the majority of their staff from these fairs. A wide variety of camps will be represented. Resident camp has children stay­ ing for extended periods, sleeping overnight and participating in a variety of supervised activities. Day camp is for children ages 5 to 15 and is usually coed. Children are transported to and from camp daily.

Now there is a way for clubs and organizations to help clean up the cam­ pus. Clubs and organizations on campus will receive information diis week on the new program called Adopt-A-Campus. Adopt-A-Campus is similar to Adopt-A-Highway, however; Adopt-A-Campus is where we, the students of Appalachian State University, will be responsible for a part of our campus. Adopl-A-Campus is sponsored by Beta Alpha Psi, ASU's National Accounting Fraternity chap­ ter, the Environmental Issues Committee and Jim Rice, director of civil and landscaping engineering at ASU and founder of the university's recycling program. The campus has been separated into 36 sections for organizations and clubs to adopt. Groups may adopt the area of their choice, and it is possible for more than one club to adopt the same area. Each club is asked to clean their area once a week and recycle as much trash as possible. They hope that organizations will choose to adopt a section of campus for the spring semester and the following academic year of 1992-93. They also hope that all the clubs will continue this program in the future. If the program is successful, it is estimated that the university could save as much as $30,000 per year in clean-up costs. Dr. Greg Blimling, vice chancellor of Student Development, agreed to pay for a permanent map to be placed in the Plemmons Student Union marking off the designated areas to be cleaned. Blimling also agreed to honor those clubs participating in the program in the university See ADOPT-A-CAMPUS page 6 �The Appalachian. Tus*Hm, February 11 700?

Some camps are exclusively for children with physical and mental disabili­ ties and other special needs. Six to seven million children attend the more than8,500camps in the United States. Binning noted the many potential, upcom­ ing careers in this huge industry. Summer camp experiences benefit both the camper and the counselor. Binning said. "Campers get an opportunity to build self-confidence and self-esteem, discover themselves and make new friends," Bin­ ning said. The counselors develop leader­ ship and management skills.

The following groups have already agreed to participate in the program (the numbers indicate the areas that have al­ ready been adopted): Hoey Residence Hall (1), White Residence Hall (2X East Resi­ dence Hall (3), SAVE and PAL (5), Kappa Delta (9), LambdaSigma Alpha(13), Bap­ tist Student Union (16), Beta Alpha Psi (19), Newland Residence Hall (23), Gardner ResidenceHall (25), ZAPEA (26), Bowie Residence Hall (29), Highland Bio­ logical Club (34), and the Appalachian Geological Society (36). Additional clubs are still needed to participate. Beta Alpha Psi receives points for com­ munity and service projects from their National Office. Chapters receive ratings according to the number of points they accumulate over the year. The highest rating is superior, and when a chapter receives a superior rating, they in return receive $2,000 in scholarships for account­ ing majors. Beta Alpha Psi asks that clubs respond as soon as possible, so additional informa­ tion can be sent. Beta Alpha Psi also hopes to get all clubs out cleaning their areas on the weekend of Feb. 29, the tentative kickoff clean-up day. Please support this program by doing your best to keep the Appalachian campus clean. ASU is the first university in the public system to begin such a program.

After all the Mountaineers shot 29 c011 from the Field in the second half Jho trailing Furman 44-32 at halftimepd still won. Senior forward Steve Spurlock, the team's second-leading storer, suffered through a miserable of­ fensive game, making only two of 14 ihots while committing four turnovers. And the Mountaineer bench, a strong point jd,Apke in recent weeks, scored a total of five points and shot a combined two-of|3 from the floor. Somehow, the Mountaineers were able R) overcome all this to pick up their fifth vin in the last six games to improve to 911 overall and 5-3 in theSouthern Conferaice The win was also Apke's First against the Paladins in 12 regular season games md moved the Apps into a third place tie with Furman in the SC. "I thought given the jinx or the whimrny that we've had against Furman jut fortunately our kids aren't very good students of history, because that didn't seem to bother them," Apke said after the game. "I thought they fought through a lot of frustration and tough times in the game to be able to come back and win it, and so I'm real proud of our team." Appalachian was on the verge of death in the second half before Rodney Peel scored 11 points in a key one minute spurt. After Furman scored four straight points to open up a 52-40 lead. Peel hit a threepointer and was fouled by Eric Fuller. After Peel made the free throw to trim the lead to 52-44, Spurlock claimed a missed Paladin shot and was fouled by Derek Waugh. Furman HeadCoach Butch Estes disputed the call claiming Spurlock had hit Waugh with an elbow after the rebound. Estes was whistled for a techni­ cal foul, S pairlock and Peel made three of the ensuing four free throws, and Peel followed with another three-pointer to bring ASU within two at 52-50. Steven Hines fouled Peel 20 seconds later in transition, and Peel made both free throws to tie the game for the First time since the 19-minute mark of the first half. "My technical foul didn't help, and there's a lot of disappointment with this game," adisgruntied Estes remarked after the game. "If we could have just one play back, then my technical is one of those plays, and it might be a different story. "There was some very physical contact after die whistle, and I got upset about it. The official tried to justify it by saying the contact was after the foul. Well, what went on after foul was not justified based on what has happened in the past." The Paladins were still in control of the game with a 63-57 lead with 3:49 to play before Billy Ross and Rodney Peel hit back-to-back three-pointers to get ASU within two points at 65-63. From there, the story of thegame was the Mountaineer defense, as Furman failed to score over the last three minutes of the game. In the process, Appalachian made four of six free throws, while the Paladins missed their last three. After Ross made two foul shots to tie die game at 65, the Paladins missed two straight three-point shots and then fouled Peel on a drive with 57 seconds left in die game. Peel miss­ ed the first free throw but made die second to give the Apps their first lead of the game. Furman's Brian Edwards missed a shot in the lane, and ASU controlled the re­ bound and got the ball ahead to Tony Thompson, who was fouled with 12 sec­ onds left Thompson madeone free throw, and Hal Henderson's off-balance, turn­ around 14-foot jumper missed at the buzzer. "I thought the key for us was the de­ fense we played in the second half, be­ cause they had 44 points at halftime and only scored 21 in the second half," Apke said. The defense started to pay dividends for the Mountaineers midway through the second half when Apke inserted Jeff Wil- , liamsandTony Thompson into the lineup 1 and switched to a 3-2 zone defense. With Williams sagging to help on Furman's talented low post players, the Paladins had to resort to three-point shooting during thelast lOminutesofthegame.

The Mountaineers rolled to a 34-3 victory over Heydets Friday in Varsity Gym. The Appalachian State Wrestling team defeated Southern Conference rival VMI Friday, by the count 34-3. Many of the team members won their individual matches, but Head Coach Paul Mance was mostly pleased with the per­ formance of the team as a whole. Junior Victor Balmeceda won his 142 lb. match bringing his individual record to 9-2. "That' s one of the better matches we've had,"Balmeceda said of the VMI encoun­ ter. "Even the people that lost, lost re­ spectfully." Balmeceda used an example, referring to Kyle Kuykendall who wrestled the re­ turning Southern Conference champion. Kuykendall usually wrestles at the 150 lb. weight class but, against VMI, wrestled at 158. Although Kuykendall lost his indi­ vidual match, Balmeceda believes that if Kuykendall wrestles as well as he did against VMI in the Southern Conference Tournanient, he may even Finish in the top three in the nation. ^SU drops two in SC *PW*hian Staff Writer past week, the ASU women's "•ketball itesin las ' dropped two in a row. d°*nh y Mountaineers were First gunned Of Ch* , urmar>. then lost a closegame to kn a,lanooga last Saturday.

Despite Lynch's effort, UTChattanooga downed the Lady Mountaineers 76-70 MpKrVV^* *" V The National Collegiate Athletic Asso­ ciation currently has no guidelines for dispensing medications to athletes, and "packaging and labeling do not meet ap­ propriate standards," the principal inves­ tigator of the First NCAA-funded study of drug distribution in university athletics programs told a conference of the Ameri­ can Society of Hospital Pharmacists. As a result, ill or injured athletes who have received more than one medication sometimes inadvertently use a drug in­ tended to treat a different condition, said the investigator, Michelle Laster-Bradley, a pharmacist who is a research asso­ ciate at Auburn University School of Phar­ macy. Laster-Bradley has also uncovered problems in the environmental conditions in which medications are stored. Many athletes receive medications in envelopes that then get dropped in sweaty gym bags; when taken, the drugs may no longer have their intended effect. Further, she found, athletes in Division I schools are receiv­ ing their medications 35 percent of the time from trainers, who are not licensed to dispense drugs, and athletes nationwide rarely receive proper counseling on how to use their medications. The NCAA has requested Laster-Brad­ ley to recommend guidelines for drug distribution in athletics programs. The investigator will submit her Findings and recommendations to the NCAA in a final report in February 1992. Not all college athletics programs lack good drug distribution and storage sys terns, conferenceattendees learned. Phar­ macists at the U.S. Air Force Academy Hospital have established pharmacy ser­ vices for the 22 intercollegiate teams at the academy. Capt. Peter MacArthur, who was associate chief of pharmacy at the hospital until recently, reported what his program standardized physician and trainer drug treatment protocols, estab­ lished a focal point for the distribution of drugs and decreased the number of nonprescription drugs stored outside the pharmacy. Meanwhile, athletes continue to abuse performance-enhancing drugs—chiefly, anabolic steroids, but also eTythropoetin and human growth hormone—and phar­ macists increasingly are becoming a re­ source in drug testing and educational programs, said JonW agner, assistant dean at the University of Nebraska College of Pharmacy and a consultant for college and high school athletics programs.

The first was the Clarence Thomas/ tote should support ts resident citizens north Carolina's lawmakers are once again considering a plan that would borate the educational level of the state's citizens, rhe plan would limit in-state students to four years at a state-supported iversity. Of course students could opt to stay more than four years; but if ydid, this plan would charge them with a hefty penalty. You see, under this iposal, the state would require students to pay out-of-state tuition rates for [ attendance beyond the fourth year. Hie plan, if implemented, would affect approximately 70 percent of palachian State's students; and would affect greater percentages at the t's IS other institutions. [his plan should not be implemented. «iorth Carolina residents should pay in-state rates no matter how long they lain at a state-supported institution. Citizens of North Carolina should t the right to learn throughout their lives. By setting a time-limit on port by the state, the state would Jjjnjl flip number of those who would be t to receive a higher education. Out-of-state rates are considerably higher i in-state marks (a difference of approximately $2,500 at ASU). Thus, |e students, because they must stay a fifth year, would find it difficult to d their education. . iome students are forced to stay an extra year (or semester) by the simple ureof their major selection. Not a'l programs are geared toward a four-year »; and a portion of those programs structured around four years are nearly possible to complete in that time because courses and classsize are limited, tse students should not be penalized for remaining another year, talents also change majors during the course of their collegiate careers, is has become an acceptable practice as students are encouraged to select ujor in which they will be happy. If a student is unhappy in a given area or she should move to another area of study. By limiting the number of ^supported years ata university, many students might be forced to decide smajor earlier and find themselves caught in a discipline they are unhappy h. This could harm more than their collegiate careers; it could harm the taider of their lives, as job selection is obviously influenced by major Ktion. tare students also opt to double major or select a minor of study. These isions may require a student to remain in school longer than four years. A 11 to raise the tuition after four years could limit such decisions. By lamenting this plan, the state would be limiting the amount of knowledge ' student might attain. The state should be willing to aid its citizens in taing knowledge, not placing restrictions on the amount of knowledge I1 could receive. ^traditional students may also be adversely affected if such a plan is fled.

According to Hill, Thomas sexually harassed her several times 10 years ago when they were working together at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. His story isdifferent He wanted to be a Supreme Court Justice. He said he is qualified, his record is clean and women like her are out to ruin his life for no good reason. She said a pervert like him shouldn't be on the Supreme Court The second premiere soap of the year was the William Kennedy Smith/Patrici a Bo wman drama.This could have been appropriately titled "Filthy Rich Sex on the Beach." She said he raped her on a beach in Florida. He said the country is using his family, the famous Kennedys, against him. So what's the verdict? Did Thomas really go over to Hill's apartment for a beer several times after work? Did she really keep calling him afterward? Is Smith going to have the same record as his UncleTed? Or is Bowman just trying to get some fame and maybe a little Kennedy money? America will never really find out. Like other soap6, these will keep avid watchers guessing. Of course these aren't your ordinary "Guiding Light"or "General Hospital"-type soaps. These are real. The people are real and so are the events. These soaps are television trials. Televising nationally-known trials has become very popular recently. A new cable channel, called Court TV, hfls even fcoftie into being. Everyone wants to watch famous people be brought to the bench. Everyone tries to figure out who is guilty. And everyone has a different opinion. Next week another new real-life soap opera will appear on television. This one even has an element of horror to it that could especially appeal to fans of the movie "Silence of the Lambs." It seems that mass murder Hannibal "the Cannibal" Lecter is alive and well in a neighborhood in Milwaukee. Last summer, Milwaukee police received calls from two anonymous bisexual black men who claimed that a six-foot tall, blond, gay white man picked them up at a gay bar, took them back to his apartment and tried to kill them. The police investigated Oxford Apartment number 213 and found a human head in the refrigerator, a heart in the freezer and a days-old bloodstain on the bed. exactly was on Patricia Bowman's pantyhose? Let's hope we weren't eating lunch in front of the TV when we found out. But these details will pale in comparison to the evi­ dence that is bound to be presented in Dahmer's trial. I personally don't plan to watch it. I'm not a horror movie fan. Real life is scary enough for me. All we have to do is turn on the news, and we get horror that rivals the worst Stephen King flick. But my presence in front of a TV set will not be missed this week because I'm sure millions of other Americans will be glued to theirs. After all, we have to know. Was Dahmer crazy or not? Why did he especially pick nonwhite gay men? Did he have any inkling of what he was doing? The purpose of televised trials is to inform. I would never advocate not putting trials on television, especially those of national importance. When we are informed, we cat better form intelligent opinions. And what better way to be informed about a case than to watch the whole trial? I have already formed my opinion, but I hope people who have not already formed theirs will watch the trial.

The police investigated this claim and found the boy drunk and bleeding from a cut on his leg. Upon questioning, the resident of the apartment from where the boy had been running said it was a homosexual argument, and the police did not need to interfere. The police returned the boy to the apartment without further ques­ tions. After the complaints from the two men, however, police finally arrested the resident of the apartment, a 31year-old gay chocolate factory worker named Jeffrey Dahmer. Dahmer confessed to the murders of 17 people. Like Hannibal the Cannibal, he also had an appetite far human flesh. He said he was saving one victim's heart"to eat later." He peeled the skin off one victim's head and painted the skull. Dahmer dismembered most of his vic­ tims' bodies and crushed their bones.

Root of education problem lies in society Answer lies in not giving more homework but in working on poverty problem By KELLI MCHARGE Appalachian Staff Writer Let's talk abouteducation. George Bush is the "education President." (Excuse me while I pause to go laugh awhile.) Actu­ ally, I will acknowledge that he has done something for the schools. As a matter of fact, under the Bush administration the school lunch program got combat rations from Desert Storm. Other than giving some of the school children food intended for the battlefield, I'm notsure what else the savior of educa­ r tion has done. He did saysomething about wanting to institute nationwide achieve­ ment tests. Well, heck. If he had done much more, we'd have togive him a statue next to John Dewey. I heard recently that the talk of the education town is on tougher reforms. One idea is let's get tough on those teach­ ers. One real big focus is that we've got to make theseteachers give more homework, and it's got to be difficult To me, harder homework isnot the answer. They're miss­ ing the key point OK, we give little Johnny harder home­ work and moreof it Let's analyze this. It's George's "kinder, gentler America," i.e., Johnny's parents can't give him the help he needs. All of the homework does the kid no good if no one can help him. But families can't make it on one salary. So, Mom and Dad don't get in until 6 or 7 pjn. everyday. Then, there is dinner to cook, laundry to do, house to clean. By Johnny's bedtime. Mom and Dad haven't had time to give him the help he needs on the loads of tough homework he has been given. So Johnny heads off to school. Due to budget cutbacks, he is in a room with 39 or so other kids. Well, the teacher does not have time to answer all their homework rnment commission had worked on the h would have had the first horse that rate its knee Joint in both directions, trouble is it couldn't have stood up. —Peter Drucker The only real vouage of discovery consists *>t in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. —Marcel Proust of a TV Ax O, MjrtKf TU. A, & /W OiV / M'-C/s- questions and keep up with the new, more demanding curriculum, another element in the salvation of American education. So, with all this, Johnny never gets the help he needs. Now, I ask you, did the tougher homework make the kid more educated? Now, don't get me wrong; just because George came from a family who not only paid his way through Yale but also paid his dues in one of the more exclusive fraterni­ ties does not mean that George does not understand about poor people and educa­ tion. (Pardon me, I'm laughing again.) Studies have proven that children from poor families have a lesser chance of suc­ cess. Schools in poor communities are separate but not equal. Perhaps, instead of tougher homework, class sizes should be reduced so teachers could give more help to students. Or, maybe, more after-school programs should be set up for the children whose parents cannot help them with homework. Perhaps, something ought to be done about the drug pushers Johnny will be confronted by.(Pardon, I'm laughing again about the success of George's "War on Drugs." Gee, George got rid of drugs and Saddam all in one administration.) Or, something could be done about the crime rate in Johnny's neighborhood. We might even want to do something about the fact that Johnny's Mom and Dad can't afford health insurance or health care. Of course, he comes to school sick. Doctors are an expense to working-class families. For an educated man, George is pretty stupid. In order to fix up education, you have to fix up some of the other problems in society. The problems with education might not be so bad then. If society gives Johnny a chance, he might have a chance of being successful with that homework.

A recent ASU student life opinion sur­ vey found that 74 percent of the student body has never used its'Student Govern­ ment Representatives to convey ideas and suggestions to the University administra­ tion. The University recognizes SGA as the voice of the students. How can the Stu­ dent Government speak for the entire stu­ dent body when less than 20 percent of the students surveyed use the representation on a regular basis? This question is a growing concern for the Student Government Association and for the active students, said SGA Vice President Reggie Murphy."We're (SGA) trying to go to students and push harder for student involvement this year," said Murphy. Murphy stressed the advantage and power of SGA for the students in influ­ encing the administration. For example, the student life survey also found that twice as many students than last year consider finances and money as their most pressing personalproblem. These students can use SGA to help with their financial difficulties, Murphy said. For example, when the University pro­ posed fee increases, Murphy said, the SGA researched the proposal and pre­ sented a revised proposal to the Adminis­ tration and Board of Trustees. For the first time in ASU history, the Board of Trust­ ees accepted the student proposal which included fewer increases. The SGA has also pushed for student involvement, according to Murphy. "We are not discouraged. We will continue to do our best," stressed Murphy. "SGA has ASU offers free pizza delivery a lot of power, but we must unify. We need students to give us ideas." The biggest complaint about SGA from students is that they do not know what is going on. Murphy defended this com­ plaint, pointing out that senators repre­ senting on-campus students are required to attend RSA meetings, post copies of Student Senate meetings each week and post his/her name, phone number and room number in the areas they repre­ sent. Tasha Roberts, an RA in Gardner, be­ lieves Senators should make a greater effort. "I sec small signs occasionally, but I have neveronce been asked by a Senator to come to a floor meeting. In order to be effective, it has to be a two-way street, but they (Senators) are the ones that need to contact people first," said Roberts. Off-campus Senators have to be more creative when informing their constitu­ ents, Murphy said. The majority of stu­ dents live off-campus and are juniors and seniors. They are harder to reach and less interested in SGA, Murphy said. Murphy believes one major problem is that students think SGA is too political. "We arenotpolitical,"Murphy said. "SGA is based on obtaining student ideas and building on those ideas." SGA also provides a good education, Murphy said. Students trying to make an idea form into a project and become real­ ity can leam how to research, write legis­ lature and deal with the administration. The survey indicated that a little over one-thirdof the students feltpositiveabout their ability to give input to the adminis­ tration. About 35 percent felt negative about their ability to give input, while a little under 30 percent were neutral. Ultimately it is the students' choice to use SGA Representatives to their advan­ tage. Students are the source of ideas. SGA provides the network and connec­ tions for students to make those ideas become action. Murphy concluded. Students use of SGA representatives to convey their input to the University Administration 74% never used a se 5% once a month 3.7% once a week Source: Student Life, Vol. I No. 5, Student Development, Appalachian State University SAT scores improve NC SAT scores increase by eight points By TRACY WILLIARD tosistant News Editor By TRACY WILLIARD Assistant News Editor and CHRISTY LOHR Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian State University students no longer have to rely on off-campus testaurants to get pizza delivered to them on-campus. The Pizzeria in Trivette Hall now offers free pizza delivery to on-cam­ pus students, including students who live in Mountaineer Apartments. Student Government passed the bill lhatestablished pizza delivery inOctober, md the bill was implemented in Novem­ ber. The way the delivery system works is tot students call the Pizzeria and place toir order. Students then give their name «d socialsecurity number, and the amount of their pizza is deducted from their meal Kcount or Appalachian express account. When the Pizzeria employee delivers the pitta to the student, the student must show their identification card and sign a receipt. Tipping is not allowed. The desired outcome of the bill was to provide students with pizza delivery from to Pizzeria at no additional cost to them. The inspiration for the bill came since *chad an on-campus pizzeria,"said Doug Duncan, student affairs chairperson for "A.

The average Scholastic Aptitude Test score for Appalachian State's 1991 freshmen was 971,20 points higher than the average for the University of North Carolina system schools, according to a report released in November by the North Carolina Board of Governors. Joe Watts, Appalachian's admissions direc­ tor, said this average was 15 points higher than ASU's average freshman SAT score in 1990. Watts did not know how the school ranked among the other 15 system schools. Freshmen at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill had an average score of 1120, the highest in the system. The North Carolina School of the Arts was second among system schools with an average score of 1054. North Carolina State University, with an average of 1050, was the third andonly other system school to pass the 1,000 point mark. WinstonSalem State University had the lowest average, with a score of 730. The freshman SATscore average of the North Carolina system as a whole is on the rise. Since 1981, the system average has increased 65 points, from 886 to 951. Average scores for all North Carolina high school seniors taking the test have increased 26 points, up to 844. The na­ tional average has only increased six points since 1981. C. D. Spangler Jr., University of North Carolina system president, commends the increase in SAT averages. Spangler re­ cently announced that the average com­ bined SAT score of freshmen was the highest recorded since the system was formed. "Last year, the UNC-system wasabove the United States' average by 55 points," Spangler said. "This indicates that public schools are preparing our students better than they were before." State Superintendent Bob Etheridge said that North Carolina has gained eight points on the SAT while the nation has declined by seven points over the last three years. In the same period, Florida has lost five points, Maryland has lost 10 points and Virginia has lost 12 points. These states all have about the same num­ ber of students taking the SAT. North Carolina's average SAT score of 844 in 1991 is still behind the nation average of 896; however, the national SAT report and the UNC report show that the state is moving in the right direction. While Spangler voiced concern that the number of minority students enrolled in some system schools had dropped, Watts said, this is not the case at Appalachian. Watts said that thisyear five percent of the freshman class was minority, and this figure has remained rather stable through out the years. SAT scores for black students in North Carolina are also increasing. In 1991, the scores for black students in North Caro­ lina increased by a total of eight points, even while the number of black students taking the test increased by around 500. Average scores at the traditionally black North Carolina colleges show the state's improvement. From 1981 to 1991, scores at Fayetteville State University improved from 592 to 800, a 35.1 percent increase. Elizabeth City State University, NC A & T State University and NC Central Uni­ versity all had percentage improvements of over 20 percent. According to Etheridge, North Caro­ lina needs to continue improving. "We are not anywhere near where we should be in the national standings. Noth­ ing short of the national average is accept­ able, and even then, we must continue to emphasize student achievement," said Etheridge. "The progress North Carolina has made on the SAT can be attributed to the fact that we accepted the last place rank in 1989, said we would change it and then proceeded to do so."

Researchers at the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduc­ tion at Indiana University recently con­ cluded a 1989 study of students' sexual behavior that they are preparing for pub­ lication. Preliminary findings show that of the 651 undergraduate students surveyed at Indiana University, 81 percent of the men and 75 percent of the women were not virgins and that students spend an average of two nights a week with their sexual partners. It also found that 50 percent of the men and 36 percent of the women had sex with someone they just met and, on average, students had two one-night stands in 1990. In March 1990, the Kinsey Institute published the results of a 1988 survey of 809'college students. "The most important findings from this survey reveal that students engage in sig­ nificant levels of unprotected sex, includ­ ing anal intercourse; have multiple sexual ported having anal intercourse with other partners; and have sex with partners about men. whose sexual history they may know • On average, sexually active college little," reads the article, written by the women reported having about six part­ Kinsey researchers in "Focus: A Guide to ners, including three one-night stands; AIDS Research and Counseling." men reported an averageof about 11 sexual The study also found that; partners, including five one-night stands. • More than 90 percent of the students • The type of relationship in which a were heterosexual.

About 30 percent of those said they did so with a new partner. "Given what is known about the condi­ tions under which HIV may be most eas­ ily spread, there is cause to be concerned about heterosexual college students who engage in high-risk sexual activities," the researchers concluded. �>• The Annalarhun.

By CANDA F. SMITH Appalachian Et Cetera Editor I believe I will attend "rock" concerts until I mi unable to stand and wave my arms up in the ,ir while releasing a wild hoop and holler! Many of my revelations and meaningful experiences are a result of being at these spontaneous happenings. I'm not referring to the theological debate I had last summer with that cute guy with the purple and green mohawk during the last half of the Jimmy Buffet concert, hut a woman that I conversed with before I met the mohawk dude. I need to back up and tell the entire story. I worked (and played) as a camp counselor last summer for children ages 5 to 17. We gave exciting weeks to young, old, black and white children. At that young age, most, if not all, of the children were unaware there was any social class difference between the rich presbyterian children and the social service children. The only difference between them was who played fair, who was nice, who was loud or who snored and woke them up in the middle of the night. If only they could remain unpreju­ diced. There was one child named Mark who I pampered that week. A tanned plump child that went to my former church, and I knew his ily to be considerably wealthy and gous. ,When he would climb on my lap iford Bedtime, he would tell me about his cabin. Jerome talks really loud in his sleep, and I j can't get to sleep at night." "Did you tell your counselor?" "Yeah, but when he tells him to stop, he just starts getting upset in his sleep again later. Why i does he get so upset?" "1 don't know. Do you like Jerome in the (daytime?" "Yeah, but sometimes he can be bossy and shove me around some. He's not too bad." Mark's opinions of his cabinmates were soley based on their actions and the way they | acted towards him. His opinions were very different from his mother that talked to me at fa end of the three day camp. "Canda not that it matters or anything, but do you always have this many (whispered) Dr. Paul Lin, a lecturer in the department of foreign languages and literature, was recently ap­ pointed secretary to the president of the Republic of China (Taiwan). His new job began this month. Lee Teng-hui, the current president of Taiwan, became friends with Lin when the two attended college together. They shared a common concern for Taiwan and its people. However, they went their separate ways when Lin earned his doctorate degree from the University of Texas-Austin, and Teng-hui earned his doctorate from Cornell Uni­ versity. Despite the fact that the two men were separated during their graduate studies, it is common in Chinese society for college friends to remain life­ time friends. Classmates in Chinese and Japanese society are always considered a class and continue to be close throughout their lives. "These ideas that we have shared since our college days now can become a reality, rather than the empty slogans we had in our young days," Lin said. He considers this new job to be an adventure. Lin, who retired with faculty emeritus status from Oklahoma State University before coming to ASU, had planned to work here until he retired a second time. "My wish was to stay in Boone and retire for a second time," said Lin. "This is not a simple job offer, but a call from my president I have no other choice but to answer the call." Appalachian has not heard from Lin since he left the United States after Christmas. Since he has faced such a dramatic change, the faculty here is allowing him to get settled into his new home before corresponding with him. Lin hopes to help bring advancement to his country by serving as secretary. "I will help my president accelerate the democratization of the country and its governmental system," he said. "We will work to obtain the optimal economic system and bring about maximum welfare for the people." One of Lin's major duties in Taiwan will be to translate the speeches given by the president into English. He was also hired to help promote Tai­ wan. Taiwan is governed by the Nationalist party.

Professor present during JFK murder trial ASU News Bureau Richard Stahl was in a New Orleans courtroom the day the Zapruder film was shown for the first time in public. He was also present the day a key witness recanted testimony that mighthave changed the outcome of the Clay Shaw trial. Stahl, an Appalachian State University professor, was work­ ing for a petroleum company in New Orleans in 1969 when District Attorney Jim Garrison tried Shaw for conspiring toassassinate John F.Kennedy. "At first I didn't realize the significance of the trial," Stahl said."We were fingerprinted and pho­ tographed," Stahl said of the limited number of spectators allowed to see the trial. "I would be at the courthouse by 5 a.m. to stand in line to get in," he said. Only 100 to 150 spectators were admitted each day. Abraham Zapruder's home movie captured the assassination as Kennedy rode in a motorcade through Dealy Plaza in Dallas. Garrison subpoe­ naed the film, which until 1969 had been withheld from the public, in an attempt to prove more than one person was responsible for Kennedy's death. "They set up a screen and projector at the front of the courtroom," Stahl said. Stahl and others watched the film in silence. "Everyone, every spectator, was almost physically ill after seeing the film. There's no way Kennedy could have survived." But perhaps more memorable than the film was an incident involving a "key witness," Stahl said. "Garrison had been trying to prove that Shaw, Lee Harvey Oswald and David Ferrie had conspired to assassinate the president while Oswald was living in New Orleans." Witnesses who could testify to the men's rela­ tionship, however, began to die mysteriously or refused to testify. Those that did make it to the witness stand were discredited by defense lawyers because of past criminal activities or lifestyles. Early in the trial an encyclopedia salesman, whose name Stahl no longer remembers, said he had seen Shaw, Oswald and Ferrie together in New Orleans in 1962 and had heard them conspiring to kill Kennedy. The day before the trial ended the man demanded to be returned to the witness stand. "We had heard testimony from ballistics experts and other witnesses and I thought 'Well, this will pretty well wrap up the trial,"' Stahl said. "Then this witness demands to be put back on the witness stand." Since neither the prosecution nor the defense had recalled the man, Stahl remembers a lot of discussion between the judge and the law­ yers. "He (the witness) was scared," Stahl said. "He had written his statement on a piece of paper."Stahl recalled the man's words. "I'm going to read care­ fully and if anyone can't hear or understand, raise your hand, and I will repeat it," the man said. "He read 12 different items contradicting every­ thing he had testified to earlier," Stahl said. The man said he had never seenClay Shaw, Lee Harvey Oswald or David Ferrie and had never seen either of them together. "I turned to the woman sitting next to me and said 'This guy just committed perjury,"' Stahl said. The woman was the salesman's secretary. "The person I work for would never say what he's saying," the woman told Stahl. "They've got­ ten to him somehow." The woman went on to tell Stahl that her employer had been in hiding, calling her 22 times over 14 days from different locations. He was hiding, she said, because he was afraid someone was after him. " Court was adjourned and the next day the jury began its deliberations, Stahl said. In less than an hour Shaw was acquitted. Stahl said he felt the outcome would have been different if the salesman had not changed his testi­ mony. "I felt they would have convicted Shaw if the salesman had not recanted his testimony."

She continued to quiz me about the black (Mds, but then would make up a phony excuse of *hy she was curious. She certainly couldn't "lake the social faux pas of admitting her IMatant prejudice. I waved goodbye to Mark. After hearing his "other's testimony, I wasn't sure whether or lot he would be back next year or if he would 'fend a summer at the country club. About a month later I was enjoying a mellow 'urany Buffet song in the sun at the concert *hen Mark's mother stumbled over to talk to "e I didn't recognize her at first because I dly would expect to see a camper's mother J^ing to talk to me at a Buffet concert with a ^Wid stench of tequila on her breath.

Johnson art exhibit featured in the Catherine Smith Gallery in Farthing Auditorium. The formal name for the internationally famous exhibit is "Fred G. Johnson: Sideshow Banners." The last day of the show is Feb. 14. Perhaps you have seen them at the State Fair, or maybe at a carnival passing through your home­ town. Perchance when you were a small child you cried into your mother's shoulder at the picture of the bearded lady or gasped in awe and begged to see the actual real live unicorn instead of simply the artist's rendition. We have all seen them some­ where, the bizarre images created in bright, almost garish colors, inviting us to come in, come in and see the LIVE freaks of nature for only pennies. Chances are, however, that the pictures you have gazed at in a strange blend of wonder, repul­ sion and attraction were airbrushed on metal or wood and are not the same as old fashioned, oil-on canvas sideshow banners. It is this dying art form that is being saluted at theCatherine SmithGallery through a wonderful exhibit of original sideshowbanners. The exhibit, which opened Dec. 2, is called "Fred G. Johnson: Sideshow Banners." It was organized originally by Debra Donate of the Illi­ nois Art Gallery and is now supported by the Illinois Art Council. It has been exhibited at many galleries and museums abroad since its conception in September of 1988. Fred Johnson was bom in Chicago in 1892, and went on to become the world's most famous side­ show banner painter, a post he kept for 65 years. His work attracted people to events such as the 1933 World's Fair and various Chicago amuse­ ment parks. The exhibit was made possible when the John­ son family allowed pieces from their private col­ lection to be shown. Other pieces were obtained from the Circus World Museum in Baraboo, Wis. There are 18 banners in the exhibit. When asked about public response to the ex­ hibit, Terry Suhre, the Art Gallery Director at die Catherine Smith gallery, said he was pleased."Ev­ erybody really enjoys (the banners), and I think it's because many of us have memories attached to them. It's simple, easy to understand, accessible art." Another interesting fact about the banners is that, although they were painted over a span of more than 30 years (from the 1930s to the 1960S), there is no noticeable change in the style of the artist. For example, the "Laugh With Dolly" ban­ ner, painted in 1962, does not have the psychedelic colors associated with this time period, and is indistinguishable instyle from the "5-Legged Cow" banner, painted in the late '30s. Suhre attributes this continuity to the timelessness of the circus and carnival. "The circus exists outside of time. When you enter a big top. All beliefs of the modem world are suspended. All modem currents, including those in art, are irrel­ evant," he said. •• "There seems to be a sincere interest in native and folk art in this area, and that is definitely what this is. Plus, it's funny! There is an unintentional misspelling on one of the banners, but it just adds to its charm and realism," Suhre said. The last day to observe this exhibit is Feb. 14. The Catherine Smith Gallery is open from 10 a.fh. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Career choices available for ambitious graduates By KELLY KEITH Appalachian Staff WriteT According to an ASU alumnus, who presently works with the United States Senate, determ inanon is the key to landing a good job. Spencer Denton, a 1988 graduate, is an office systems analyst in Washington, D.C. This job requires Denton to provide Senate offices with various automation options and assist senators in requesting new equipment and services. His job involves everyday contact with "the big people on Capitol Hill" and, as a result, he has many exciting stories. "One of my favorite memories is a yachting trip I went on,"said Denton."The senator from Nevada invited me to cruise the Chesapeake Bay on his 80 ft. yacht. Many other senators were there, and it was interesting to interact with them personally after working with them professionally. My job allows me to meet many well-known people. Just a few months ago, I shook Vice President Dan Quayle's hand." Before working at the Senate, Denton w orked foT a company that installed scanners in the Senate offices. Denton was in and out of the Senate fre­ quently and met many of the United States Senators through this job. "I recognized that there was opportunity in the Senate, and I applied foT a position," Denton said. "When you're applying for a job, I think it's impor­ tant to look at whai kind of overall experience you're going to get from that paiticular work expe­ rience. Too many recent graduates simply look at the salary rather than the overall picture of what the job has to offer. "I'm happy that working in the Senate is giving me great advancement opportunities for my fu­ ture." Denton, 26, majored in Industrial Psychology at Appalachian. He is now pursuing amaster's degree in information systems at the University of Mary­ land night school. "Although I am not directly working in my field of undergraduate study, I learned many valuable skills at ASU," Denton said. "I think good commu­ nication. both oral and written, is essential in any area you decide to work m. Along with communi­ cation skills is the ability to be an effective listenfcr. Both of these qualities are extremely important, because you will use them in any profession you decide to pursue." "When I first visited ASU, I fell in love with the campus." said Denton. "I knew I wanted lo goto college in Boone. I still remember the good ole days skiing the slopes.

The Bucs led by 10, 67-57, at the 6:48 mark, before the Mountaineers staged a furious command of comeback. Appalachian Head Coach Tom Apke made the decision to go with a smaller, quicker line-up, which resulted in starters Sieve Spurlock, Tim Powers and Billy Ross sitting on the bench for most of the foal 10 minutes. The threesome of Jeff Williams, Tony Thompson and Chad McClendon gave ihe Mountaineers a much-needed spark oft the bench, combining for seven points during a 9-1 Mountaineer spurt that cut die gap to 68-66 with 2:40 to go in the contest.

Participating in the meet were squads from Marshall, East Tennessee State, Duke, Davidson, James Madison, WilliamandMary, VirginiaCommonwealth, Liberty, Christopher Newport, Hampton Institute, Norfolk State and Virginia Tech. The Lady Apjpjs captured five of 13 iirst-place finishes in the meet, which pleased ASU Head Coach John Weaver. "1 am very hapjpy with the results we got this weekend," said Weaver. "We are "loving along nicely and heading in the tight direction as we pjrepare for the in­ door championships and the outdoor sea­ son." Andre Harris scored a team-high 18 pjoints to lead The Citadel over Virginia Military Institute 66-60 Saturday in Charleston, S.C. With the win, the Bull­ dogs moved into a tie for fifth place in the conference with VMI. Both teams are now 7-10 overall and 24 in the league.

The Keydets came roaring back and capjpjed a 23-5 run whenJonathan Penn made a layup to give VMI a 58-56 lead with three minutes left to play.

Marshall (CPS)—Academic eligibility standards for freshman athletes will be even tougher beginning in 1995. The change is one of many aprprroved by the National Colle­ giate Athletic Association at its 1992 an­ nual convention. The new academic requirement in­ volves increasing an incoming student athlete's minimum grade promt average to 2/5 in 13 core curriculum courses and establishing a sliding scale that balances a student's standardized test scores with his or her grade average. For example, the scale would allow an athlete with a 2.0 to comprete if he or she scored a minimum of 900 on the SAT or 21 on the ACT. If the student has less than a 2.0 grade promt or scores less than 700 on the SAT or 17 on the ACT, he or she would not be eligible to play sprorts. Previously, Propxrsition 48 slated that athletes must have a minimum 700 on the SAT or 18 on the ACT with a minimum 2.0 grade promt in 11 core curriculum courses. No sliding scale existed. Coaches of the Big East Conference had the most vocal oprprosition to the new rule, prrimarily because of a continued complaint against using standardized lest scores as an eligibility cut-off device. The NCAA President's Commission drafted the newly aprprroved academic package. ,>[Tie Stance medley squad of Carrie cbtnson, Jessica Parkhan, Julie Ander0y *"dDee Anna Davis broke a 10-year fir v ^recwd85Dtcyclocked 12:50.3to sixth overall in the race. lather strong finishers for the Lady ^"nuuneers included the 4x200 meter I GJ te*m of Alicia Foust- Mce Vinson' *ith •.L-azenby which finished first • 'time of 1:47.5. . l-H/.J.

The Buccaneers also built a doublefigure lead in the first half, thanks to the shooting of a red-hot Talford. Talford scored four three-point baskets in tie first six minutes of the game, as East Tennes­ see raced to an early 21-11 lead. The Bucs held a 34-25 advantage with 4:31 to go in the half, before the Moun­ taineers rallied. Ross scored on a threepoint play and then nailed a three-point shot to bring the Apjpjs to within 34-31. Point guard Rodney Peel then launched a three-pointer of his own to knot the con­ test at 34-34 with 2:22 left before halftime. ETSU then regained the lead and an alley-oop jam from Dennis at the 1:03 mark gave the Bucs a 38-35 lead at inter­ mission. The Apps had a chance to take the lead into the dressing room but were plagued by 45 pjercent free throw shooting and eight turnovers in the first half. "When we settled down, we started playing pjretty good," Apke said. "Some missed free throws and layupjs kept us from being in the lead at halftime."

"About six years ago when prroprositions 48 and 42 were aprprroved, it was the beginning of academic reform (in the NCAA)," said Rick Evrard, director of legislative services at the NCAA. "This is just a continuation." Other proprositions aprprroved at the NCAA convention include: •Allowing student athletes to request information about their protential in the prrofessional sprorts market without losing eligibility—as long as the student does not retain an agent ing them to seek "job advice" like other students. Student athletes,however, cannot enter the NBA or NFL draft and retain eligibil­ ity. The Pacific-10 Conference oprprosed the prroprosition, fearing that institutions might be held liable if an athlete says he or she received bad advice from his or her university. •Allowing coaches of major sprorts prowerhouses tocontinue collecting money for prroduct endorsements and television apprearances, but first requiring prermission from the schools' presidents to do so.

And, the full NCAA membership agreed to officially oprprose a federal mandate writ­ ten into the prending Higher Education Reauthorization Act that requires the pub­ lic disclosure of athletics-related revenue and exprenditures at schools. At the close of the convention, most said they were satisfied with the outcome. "The 1992 NCAA convention has proved to be one of the most significant in recent memory," Creed Black, of the Knight Foundation Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics, said. Lady Mountaineers roll to win Appalachian State scores 89-55 triumph over Lady Bucs Apjpalachian Staff Repxrts The Lady Mountaineers of Appalachian Slate rebounded from a loss to College of Charleston and whipjped Charleston Southem 89-55 last Wednesday. The Lady Mountaineers raised their record to 7-11 on the season, while the Lady Buccaneers droppjed to a measly 1 15 on the year. "Charleston Southern is the weakest team we've played this year," ASU Head Coach Linda Robinson said after the contest "Everybody we have w as involved during times when we were doing things very well. "Some might wonder what we get out of playing a weaker opponent" Robinson continued. "This was a team win. I think we gained a lot from it" Apjpalachian State led throughout the contest as they outclassed the Lady Bucs from the opjening tip>-off. The Mountain­ eers doubled the point total of Charleston Southern in the opjening half, racing to a 35-17 lead at intermission. ASU continued to pjour it on in the second half, opjening the half with a 134 binge.

WOA muLLlNUN ^ " discount cards should have arrived earlier It's finally here. The long-awaited, highly-anticipated, student discount card is here. Of course, it's six months into the academic year, which means the year is three-fifths over, and a portion of students have already departed, exiling after first semester. So, is the card as valuable as it should be? No. The discount card is a good idea. This year's card is deemed the Appala­ chian State University, Greater Boone Area V.I.P. Continuous Savings Card. Its production was handled by V.I.P. Limited, a Cary based company. According to Reggie Murphy, studentgovernment association vice president, V.I.P. approached SGA with the idea of issuing the discount card. V.I.P. then sold the advertising and printed the cards. SGA's role was merely distribu­ tion, Murphy said. So why was that distribution so late? Murphy blames V.I.P. Limited. "We couldn't distribute the cards until we had them," he said. "They (V.I.P. representatives) told us the cards would be ready by the end of October, and it was January before we received them." Production ran three months behind schedule. That'sa tremendous amount of time, when the academic year lastsonly 10 months. The delay deletes some of the card's usability. A number of students graduated in December, others left the university at the end of the fall semestgr. Thoge Stydenis are HWP use the cards. If the discount cards had arrived tn the fall, those students could have benefited from their use as well. However, in January, they cannot. Students spent the entire fall semester without a discount card. The USA Discount Card, which served Appalachian students last year, expired in August, 1991. So, even though SGA promised a card was on its way, arrival time was behind schedule. Murphy said SGA was charged with distributing the cards; however, that too has been less than praiseworthy this year. Distribution has appeared random, with some students receiving the cards and others not knowing they exist. Murphy said on-campus senators were responsible for distribution in the residence halls, and SGA set up tables in the student union and cafeteria to distribute to off-campus students. In the past, the discount cards were delivered to each student in his or her post office boxes. Not this year. Murphy said V.I.P. was unwilling to pay postal fees to have the cards placed in post office boxes; SGA did not have the funding necessary to mail the cards. So inadequate distribution took place, wth some students missing out on the opportunity to receive a card. The savings card is an excellent idea. The card helps unite students with ^businesses. By advertising through the card, these businesses show they are devoted to helping students, who live on very limited incomes. In turn, students should be willing to frequent the businesses who advertise through TJP. Students should use the card. Students carry the card with you, and display it when purchasing goods or services from the advertising businesses. If you have yet to receive acard, stop by the second floor of Workman Hall pick one up. Cards are available from the SGA bulletin board, located on d* SGa hall in Workman. As a student service, the discount card is advantageous. However, the card ^ould be distributed earlier in the year. This year's card doesn't expire until November, but that doesn' t aid students who leave in May. Many graduate in thousands of others leave the campus during the summer months. So, is die card as beneficial as it should be? No. The card should serve the most students for the greatest length of time, jwefore, the card should be in students' hands during the academic year. tudents should be given the cards in August and should be able to use them until May. By TRACY TARLETON Appalachian Commentary Editor I am a regular customer in the Sweet Shop, mainly because I get an uncontrollable craving for chocolate ice cream about 3 p.m. everyday, but I also go there for other food items such as bagel chips. On one of my daily trips. I noticed the yellow slips of paper posted to a bulletin board. The sample slip said, "Write your comments here, pin it to the board and we'll get back to you the next day.— The Sweet Shop."The bulletin boards and yellow slips of paper have become a regular feature in Food Service locations throughout campus—good job. Food Services, thank you very much, we needed someplace to voice our opinions. One day last week I was picking up a drink lid and a straw for my lemonade and some napkins, I read through the yellow slips of paper in the Sweet Shop, just to see what other people had to say about the place that gets most of my mealcard money. One particular comment on the board caught my attention.The card read something along the lines of, "Please enforce the no-smoking area! If the Sweet Shop has a no-smoking area, why are there ashtrays on every table?" The Sweet Shop staff responded saying they would try harder to enforce non-smoking in the nosmoking areas. When I went back the next time, ashtrays had been removed from some tables. Various proposals have been raised in the past concern­ ing eliminating smoking in public places, period. When these proposals went public, many people raised steam about smoker's rights and the proposals were never made law. I don't think anyone could argue that smokers do not have rights. The First Amendment guarantees all Ameri­ cans the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and if that pursuit of happiness entails the pursuit of destruction of our bodies, well—so be it. Smokers have the right to smoke if it so pleases them. But why do the rights of a small minority of people take precedence over the rights of the rest of us to breathe clean air, smell like something besides smoke, and eat food that doesn't taste like burnt tobacco without choking after In fact, breathing in second-hand smoke for any period of every bite? time may make an illness worse.

Kennedy file petition table. I would like to boot the harasser straight to Iraq for his lack of respect for the right to peaceful assembly and petition. Since I can't do that, I am going to try and explain why I think the files should be opened. Personally, I be­ lieve the 1963 assassination involved a conspiracy. But what is most important to me is that John Fitzgerald Kennedy is my hero. I want to know who is responsible for killing one of the greatest figures in our history. First of all, I want to acknowledge that he was not perfect. Yes, he did havefaults, including havingcommitted adultery. Nev­ ertheless, who he slept with does not change his courage or impact on us. Fur­ thermore, I challenge anyone to find me a historical hero who does not have one or two blemishes on his/her sainthood appli­ cation. Kennedy was a man of ultimate cour­ age. Due to a back ailment, he suffered constant agony. However, the archives (which is unfortunately all my generation has of the man) show a handsome, smiling face. It took a very large amount of cour­ age to put on that charming smile to hide the suffering. Anyone who thinks that Kennedy did not have courage does not understand the excruciating agony of con­ stant back pain. There areother examples of Kennedy's courage. PT-109, volunteering for the ser­ vice against doctors' advice and the many persona] losses he experienced were all examples. Anotherexample exists.It is an example of the courage that cost Kennedy his life. On his 21st birthday, Kennedy inher­ ited from his father a SI million trust fund. (Keep in mind that SI million was worth much more than itis now.) With his money, he could have been content living the life of a rich playboy. Instead, Kennedy chose to serve his fellow Americans. It was his courageous desire to serve others that ended up costing him his life at the young age of 46. Kennedy inspired a generation of Americans. During his presidency, a re­ newed interest in and efforts toward egalitarianism and humanism developed. He inspired many college students to post­ pone getting rich for a couple of years by serving the less fortunate. Kennedy did this by establishing the Peace Corps. Per­ haps if our generation had a leader with such charm, charisma and example, we could stop being known as the "me gen­ eration." Kennedy was certainly a better president than the overrated actor whose only presidential activities were sleeping.

There are many reasons why the Kennedy files should be made public.One of the reasons is, of course, that as citizens we should know if our government was involved. But, for me, there is another important reason. Kennedy was a coura; geous man. He provided an example of dedication, service and true concern for others. I greatly admire this man. I want to know who is responsible for robbing Ithe world of Kennedy. I want the persons responsible to go down in history. I want all of posterity to know of their unspeak­ able crimes. It is probably too latei to punish them. But, I want history to neyec forget. Likewise, I want history to always honor the memory of the man known commonly as JFK. » Alumni can't visit Quinn regularly To the Editor I am a console worker at the Quinn Center. I decided to write after reading the letter you printed from Ruth Green. I do not understand why people cannot abide by the rules set up by the Office of Recreational Sports. There is a purpose for not allowing residents of Boone entrance into the Quinn Center. It is true we are not allowed to compete with local businesses, but I think there is more to this rule than that one reason. The Quinn Center is to be used by students who are currently paying student fees. If every alumnus in Watauga County was allowed to enter the Quinn. the facility would be so congested that no one would be comfortable. Just because an alumnus lives in Boone is not really a disadvan­ tage as opposed to an alumnus who lives out of town. Both are allowed to enter the Quinn on weekends (as a guest) which is the time most out-oftown alumni would visit. As for the subject of student fees previously paid by alumni. I am sure that the percentage taken from each student does not even compare to the cost of joining a local health club. The Quinn Center is one of the many fine programs offered to students and supported by students. However, students do not contribute enough independently to become lifelong members of the facility. The program is kept up by current student fees. Melissa Howard Quinn Center employee 411 Green St. Apt 4 Boone, N.C. 28607 �The Appalachian. Tuesday.

Appalachian State University has listed ^novation as its top building project, nquesting funding torenovate since 1986, (cording to Bill Winkler, associate vice -sincellor for physical affairs. However, judo the state'scontinuing budgetshort­ ly [herequest had been overlooked until l»l. Pie last funding ASU received was ]9J7-88 when the legislature funded the talker College of Business, providing lalfof the funding each year. Other UNC ijsiem schools suffered similar monetary rejection, when no money was allocated for building projects in 1989 or 1990. However, the financial debacle did not prevent the theater department from con­ tinuing their performances, despite the asbestos in the ceiling and thedifficulty in hanging lights in a structure that was built in 1937 to serve as an auditorium for Appalachian High School, said Dr. Susan Cole, chairperson of the theater and dance department. Part of the renovation includes major changes in the existing structure of the theater suggested by Dr. Frank Mohler, director of ASU theater and scenic and lighting design. The new design will flipflop the audience and the backstage area, allowing more room for an orchestra pit, dressing rooms and construction of a lobby on the outside of the building facing the Walker College of Business. Problems with the Chapell Wilsonstruc­ ture have often led to extended perfor­ mances. During a production of the 17th century comedy Tartuffe, an actress came on the stage each night to recant experi­ ences with the dressing rooms. The audience was amused by stories of flooded dressing rooms, waterbugs swim­ ming by and mice sharing the quarters. However, Colesaid these stories were not fictional. During a dress rehearsal, a mouse fell through the ceiling into the aisle but was able to recover and then scamper across the light board. Cole said. The difficulty in containing the rodent and bird population is due to the building structure, which was built with openeaves to allow the circulation of air, Cole said. However, despite Cole's decision to have the eaves closed several years ago, the cold air and the creatures persist, find­ ing their way into the auditorium. Despite the theater's problems, Winkler and Cole agree the university has made a conscious effort to strengthen the cultural atmosphere of ASU by investing money into projects like An Applachian Sum­ mer, increased programming at Farthing Auditorium and a museum in the expanded Plemmons Student Union.

Both markets carry from basic grocery items, snack foods and bev­ erages. The Trivette market is larger than the Welbom Hall market and offers students a wider variety of food items, as well as many non-food items. "The Trivette market offers an amaz­ ing amount of food and has a larger vari­ ety than the East market. We have a bigger selection of canned foods and a much wider range of snack and dessert type foods. We also carry fresh fruit and more in prepared dinners," said Pat Weaver, assistant director of Food Services. The West market also offers students non-food items that the East market does not carry. These items range from pantyhose to motor oil. There is a section of magazines as well as a section that carries Appalachian sportswear. Students can purchase aspirin and other medicine. Although the food items can be paid for with an Appalachian meal card, the non­ food items can only be paid for by cash, check or Appalachian Express. "I like the new market because they have a greater selection, but I don't like that you canonly buy stuff like aspirin and IjCANDA F.

Weaver said the new market has been "absolutely inundated with business" and that larger orders are being placed. According to Weaver, the West market does about $4,500 worthof business a day and that the East market's business has picked up since the new market opened. It does about $1,400 a day. Weaver said she has heard students say that they want both markets open, one for each side of campus. Also, she is respond ing to student demands for a larger variety of health foods. The Trivette market is open Monday through Friday,11 a.m. -12 p.m. and Sat­ urday and Sunday, 5 p.m.-12 p.m. The Welbom market is open Monday through Friday, 10:30 a.m.-6:30 p.m. Administrators defend decision while Senators prepare bill By TRACY WILLIARD Assistant News Editor also opposition to some of ^°fding of the new election bylaws. ^:;ere reviewed by individual para' as well, to change any question"* words.

" I try not to shop there too much though, because the stuff is more expensive than in a grocery store, and I feel like I'm getting ripped off." Despite students' complaints of high prices. Weaver said that the prices in both markets have dropped since the Trivette market opened. "Because of the new market, we have been able to buy from a new distributor.

On Thursday, Jan. 16 the wind chill factor fell to minus 55, but ASU students were still expected to trudge to the class­ rooms. This one thing brought about the idea for the legislation, according to Duncan. "I contemplated not going to class that day. This is the first time it has been that cold sinceI've been up here," said Duncan. "I did decide to go to class, but I'd rather opt to not go to class than to try to go to class and not make it" One reason Duncan is writing this leg­ islation is because he said he heard several students complaining about the cold weather. Another reason is because Duncan said there is a chance temperatures and wind chill factors could be as cold as or colder than they were Jan. 16 before this winter is over. "It's not a limited possibility that this will happen again considering how weird the weather is here," said Duncan. "If by chance we do have another extremely frigid day, I hope the administrators will take this into account and heed the advice of the students." AS U's inclement weather policy states that the vice chancellor for business af­ fairs, the associate vice chancellor for physical operations and the director of public safety and security work together to consider temperature, wind chill factor and road, parking lot and walkway condi­ tions in deciding whether tocancel classes. These people confer with the other vice chancellors, who make the decision. The vice chancellor for academic affairs de­ cides if classes are cancelled for a half or full day. Ward Zimmerman, vice chancellor for business affairs, said he believes the in­ clement weather policy was enacted cor­ rectly on Jan. 16. "At 6:45 I went by security, although they would have already gotten in touch with me if they thought the situation was life-threatening," Zimmerman said. At 7 a.m. Zimmerman met with the other vice chancellors, and they came to the conclusion that they would continue to monitor the situation. According to Zimmerman, by 7 a.m. quite a few of ASU's campus staff were already on the job. Zimmerman said that he feels that hu­ man judgement is probably the best way to make decisions in this situation while considering location. "Weather like Boone had on Jan. 16 would have shut down Miami, Fla., but Boone has had this kind of weather be­ fore," said Zimmerman. ASU is a multi-million dollar institu­ tion that is charged to provide a learning experience, according to Zimmerman. "If we were to shut down, we would deprive peopleof that educational experi­ ence they came here for," said Zimmerman. Duncan is in the process of writing the legislation now and said he hopes that the legislation will go before the senate to be voted on in two weeks.

According to the office of Student De­ velopment, all the schools in the UNC system prorate student fees. Currently, ASU students taking less than seven hours do not have to pay student fees.These fees include the student activity, athletic, book rental, health service and the bonded and indebtedness fee. Part-time students have the option to only pay for the programs they wish to use, with theexception of the health service fee. Currently part-time students have to purchase their books, but under the new system they can opt to use the book rental system by paying the entire book rental fee. However, even though part-time stu­ dents use University buildings, they are not obligated now to pay the Building and Indebtedness fees. Changes made by the prorating system will allow part-time students to pay a portion of all the required fees. "We think this is a fair and equitable way to apportion fees," said Vice Chan­ cellor of Student Development Greg Blimling. All part-time students will now have the same access to on campus facilities and benefitsas full-time students, Blimling said. Hopefully, this will encourage parttime students to become more involved with on-campus activities. "Education is more than going to school," Blimling pointed out. The new fee structure will look like this: students taking up to five hours will be accessed one third of the normal fees; students taking up to eight hours will pay two thirds of the fees, and students taking over nine hours will pay the entire amount. This added collection of fees, which will take in an additional $200,000 per semester, will go into the individual ac­ counts. For example: book rentals stand to gain $26,000 per semester. Blimling said this amount is not a lot, considering 600 more students will now be getting their books from the system. The increased amount collected for Buildings and Indebtedness will be used to pay off buildings, do increased mainte­ nance and build further additions,Blimling said. �.The Appalachian. Thursday.

She attended Appalachian as an undergraduate, also in voice perfor­ mance. Club Candlelight will start the semeswith a performance by Appalachian's f Ensemble I. The Jazz Ensemble will uy big band jazz tunes by Gershwin, nj-ngton, Goodman and many others all „ jth a contemporary twist. •The music will be traditional in the e 0f the tunes we're playing. We are laying them in a more contemporary nature as far as performance and arrange­ ment," said director Todd Wright. Singer Roberta Fergueson will perform poday with theJazz Ensemble. Fergueson will perform three pieces with the band."I I just Found Out About Love," a Count Basie nine, "Everyday I Sing the Blues," another Basie tune and "Skylark," by Hoagy Carmichael. ••A lot of talented musicians make up the Jazz Ensemble; I'm glad they allowed me to sing with them," said Fergueson. "I started singing, like most people, in church. I have enjoyed performing with the en­ semble last year during two concerts." Several members of the Jazz Ensemble will break into smaller quintets and sex­ tets to perform other jazz works. Some of the music the band will play includes "All of Me" by Thad Jones, "Our Love is Here to Stay" by GeorgeGershwin, arranged by Ted Nash and "Don't be That Way" by Benny Goodman. "This is a new arrangement associated with Goodman," said Wright. Other jazz artisits to perform include Thelonius Monk, Bob Mintzer, Charles Mingus, John Coltrane and Duke Ellington. "The arrangements you will hear are more typical of something you would hear on The Tonight Show,"said Wright. "This is big band contemporary jazz." "We are not going to be playing in the style of Glen Miller which everyone asso­ ciated with big band," said Wright. "This won't be a society band." The Jazz Band is made up of five saxo­ phones, five trumpets, five trombones and B WILLIAM PURCELL a rhythm section consisting of piano, gui­ tar, bass and drums. The music the ensemble will play will be combined tunes that members have been working on for this performance. A later concert in Farthing by the Jazz Ensemble will consist of entirely new pieces. Come out to Club Candlelight expect­ ing a good time with some hard hitting original jazz performances. As always, the Jazz Band features outstanding solo­ ists. The Jazz Ensemble will perform in Farthing Auditorium on Feb. 22 with re­ nown percussionist Peter Erskine. "He is aheavy-weight drummer. This cat is bad," said Wright. Erskine will be the guest soloist at the North West All-State Band Clinic which is sponsored by the ASU School of Music.

The Second Step will step back in on Boone once more during the band's Southern tour. If you missed The Second Step the last time they rolled into Boone, don't miss it again. The Second Step lights up the stage with an on-stage energy that is equally matched by the intense energy of their music. The band really knows how to connect with the audience and how to hive a good time on stage. The Second Step always gets thecrowd into the show. Often lead singer Miriam Phifer will leap into the audience to dance and sing. During the performance last semester. Second Step T-shirts appeared in the au­ dience, and the audience started singing along with the band. You know a band is good when people know the lyrics and are singing along with the band so soon. The band'ssouthern tour features seven cities in North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. "We are hitting the road to push our new tape. We are basically going to hit the hot spots, and that includes Boone," said Tim Champeaux. The Second Step is, in a word, diverse. The members are diverse in their talents and backgrounds, and the band's music covers several styles and genres. The rock-side of the music features Stan Pillis on guitar, Etienne Lytle on keyboard, percussionist Ivan Katz and Wayne Hammond on bass. This solid rhythm section provides the underlying driving pulse that is accented by the horn section and pulled together by lead vocal­ ist Phifer. Mark Henry, Champeaux and Josh Rabinowitz make up the screaming horn section which is featured more in the ethno-funk side of the band's sound. The band'sethno-funk, reggae sound is definitely in step with the college crowd. The band demands unprecedented stamina from both musicians and listeners. The band creates a sea of motion on the dance floor equally matched by the vis­ ible enthusiasrrf the band puts into the show. The band has a tape out with nine cuts. New on the tape are the songs "Wack," "Do You know This Man," "Weed" and "Cage of Fear." "I Want You Back" is a Jackson Five song not on the tape but is one of the band's most requested songs. The song incorporates screaming jazz licks from The Jetsons. New albums reviewed »\ The comedian with the Wright Stuff Generation X releases greatest hits Generation X, known to many as Billy Hoi's band has compiled 15 songs into fie "Perfect Hits" album. Generation X wived on the London punk rock scene in j Novemberof 1976,yettheydidn'tplayby pwk rock rules.

These contrasting styles make on interesting and entertaining album. The songs deal with everything from joolol issues to dancing. Topics range u °tn teen sex and drugs to shunning your a eldeis\ begins with "Dancing With i RnSC^ W^'c^ many will recognize as J V Idol s song.The song was originally recorded by Generation X. The song is still a great dance/rock song today. It is interesting to note that the song was in­ spired by a visit to a Tokyo disco with mirrored walls. Songs like"Your Genera­ tion," "Wild Youth," "Day to Day" and "Youth, Youth, Youth" all deal with re­ bellion, typical of punk music. There are also fun songs like "Ready, Steady, Go" that focuses on the love of '60s rock 'n' roll and a cute line about Cathy McGowen. "One Hundred Punks" pokes fun at the typical punk rock crowd decked out in leather and chains. It gener­ ally makes a statement about conformity and everyone tending to want to be like someone else. The one weak link in this album is the bands attempt at studio remixing, "Wild Dub." I don't know if the band made this song as a joke or not, but the song really is awful and should not have been put on the album. On a more serious note, "Kiss Me Deadly" shows the downside of Youth Culture in talking about sex, drugs and violence. "Perfect Hits" also previews a previ­ ously unreleased song, "New Order." "Gimme Some Truth" is a John Lennon cover tune. Also on the album is the band's biggest UK hit, "King Rocker." This album is a must for any punk fans as well as those who like to explore musi­ cal boundaries. THE WARPIPES "HOLES IN THE HEAVENS" The Warpipes may not be a household name, but those they have worked with See NEW page 6 "Colours" is a cut about racial unity which is a strong issue with the band. "We don't want to preach, but this is an issue too important to ignore," said Champeaux. The band has shot a video which has been aired on MTV for the song "Colours." The band has worked with several top artists and bands including: Chaka Khan, Keith Richards, Carlos Santana, I Tal, Otis Day and the Knights, Lionel Hamp­ ton, DizzyGellespie, Tracy Chapman and the New York Philharmonic. The Second Step will bring their high energy rock and funk show to Sollecito's tonight guaranteeing the hottest night of hard hitting music and body sweating dance you can experience in one night. Steven Wright returns i aAq By CHRIS BRADY Appalachian Staff Writer "Jazz is the Teacher" is on the tape, and it is a jazz-funk song that waxes philo­ sophical on the theological role AfricanAmerican music has taken in society. "Wild Kingdom" is a song heavy with guitar and a driving bass that gives off a metal tint. "Culturally Dead" has a hard hitting melodic line with all instruments at forte while most of the lyrics are backed up by a breakdown of guitar, bass and drum. '"Culturally Dead' is a fierce, hip and happening groove on how the social psyche of the '90s is itself basically un-hip and not really happening," said trombonist Rabino­ witz. By SCOTT PLASTER Appalachian Staff Writer Appfcttiv, Photo by Denn O'Htgoi BLUE TRAIN ON THE RAILS OF THE AMERICAN POP CHARTS: This band from Britain consists of (from left to right) drummer Paul Belts, lead singer Tony Osborne, guitarist Alan Feam and keyboardist Simon Husbands. Call him the guy who got arrested for walking in somebody else's sleep. Call him Steven Wright. Steven Wright, hailed as the funniest man in America, will appear in Farthing Auditorium tonight. The last time Wright came to Boone, in theFallof 1988,astaggering 1,200 people came out to witness his deadpan antics. Wright's deceiving monotone delivery and sparkling wit have entertained millions of people since his f rst appear­ ance on the Johnny Carson show in 1982. Since the night of his big break in 1982, he's been on HBO's "On Location:" and the "Young Come­ dians' Special," "Saturday Night Live" and "Late Night with David Letterman." He's toured the college and night club circuit, performing as many as 90 one-nighters in a row. He's acted in three movies. He earned a Grammy nomination with his album, "I Have a Pony." Wright's one-liners always bring the house down: "I bought some powdered water butdidn' t know what to add," and "I bought batteries, but they weren't in­ cluded." Wright said "the wholeact is just a funny pack of lies." Perhaps Wright'sgreatest achievement is his ability to defy the laws of comic gravity. His words seem to fall like lead weights. Yet, audience laughter flies every time he opens his mouth. It's also very interesting to note what Steven Wrightdoesn't use to get his laughs. He never uses profanity. Wright realizes that at times the audience would laugh twice as hard if he used profanity, but he would rather have his comedy standon its own. Why doesn't he use profanity? He doesn't need to. Likewise, he con­ siders some topics, like sex and drugs, too easy. Clean comedy is a rare thing these days. Wright has proven that a comedian can notonly survive, but flourish, and rely on nothing elsebut wit. "I went toa place to eat. It said Breakfast Anytime, so I ordered French toast during the Renais­ sance. When I first moved into my house there was a switch on the wall that didn't control any lights or anything. I'd just flick it up and down everyonce in a while. And about a month later I got a letter from a woman in German saying, " 'Cut it out!'

The concert will be held in Broyhill Music Center's Rosen Concert Hall with the performance starting at 8 p.m. The National Orchestra of Ireland, the Ulster Orchestra, will bring their distin­ guished international tour to Farthing Auditorium on Wednesday, Feb. 5. Formed in 1966, the Ulster Orchestra has toured successfully throughout Great Britain and Europe. The Orchestra has numerous highly acclaimed recordings available worldwide. In addition to its regular concert perfor­ mances throughout Northern Ireland, where it plays a leading role in the per­ forming arts, the orchestra broadcasts ex­ tensively for the BBC, both on radio and television. The Orchestra accompanies Opera Northern Ireland, performs in the Belfast Festival at Queen's and the Belfast Promenade Concerts and provides a se­ ries of educational concerts for schools. Nearly 30 recordings have been pro­ duced, encompassing a broad repertoire that includes music by British composers Bax, Elgar. Stanford, Britten, Moeran, Delius, Bridge and Bliss as well as the Ulster-bom Hamilton Harty. With Yan Pascal Tortelier, principal conductor and artistic director, the Ulster Orchestra has moved into a new era, con­ centrating on the French repertoire re­ cently in both the recording studio and on the concert stage to great critical acclaim. ChristopherO'Riley,piano soloist with the Orchestra, has been a top prizewinner in several of the world's most prestigious competitions.

Three of the members of Warpipes have played with Elton John in the studio and on the road. Renowned guitarist Davey Johnstone is the founding member of Warpipes. The band's debut album,"Holes InThe Heavens," delivers a mix of blues-based classic rock. Johnstone put Warpipes together after the 198^-1990 world tour with EltonJohn. Along with Johnstone, drummer Nigel OJsson and keyboardist Guy Babylon also -.orked with Elton John. Johnstone and Babylon wrote all of the music for "Holes In The Heavens." track, "Holes In The Heavens," which deals with man's mischief and life and death. This album lacks many things to be considered a good classic rock album.The music is very poppy sounding. So, if you are a fan of classic rock, your dollars will be better spent somewhere else. The al­ bum features some great musicians which makes it quite a disappointing effort. ANTENNA "SWAY" "Sway" is the debut release from An­ tenna. Antenna is from Bloomington, Ind., and consists of guitarists John Strohm and Vess Ruhtenberg, drummer Freda Love and bassist Jacob Smith. Strohm and Love played together in Blake Babies, which has not broken up and will work in the future. Ruhtenberg once played in Datura Seeds. All are dedi­ cating their total efforts to Antenna pres­ ently, and a tour is in the works. "Sway" features a pop, college type sound. The 13 tracks all are quite catchy tunes. The music is simple and to the point. There are times when this form can grow a bit monotonous. With 13 tracks on an album, simplicity can get old. If you are in to conventional pop with a college music texture to it, this album is for you. The album doeshave good lyrical content throughout. The lyrics are sincere which mixes well with the simplicity of the music. Session musician Bob Birch plays bass as well as saxophone on the album. Lead vocalist Billy Trudel was picked up by Johnstone for the album. Trudel has laid vocals down for such artists as Jude Cole, Kenny Loggins and Trixter. "Holes In The Heavens" features 10 tracks of classic rock. The album as a whole has the classic rock feel to it, yet there are hints of pop rock and folk tunes also. The two songs that rely on the elec­ tric guitar, "Rock 'n' Roll Condition" and "Satellite City,"have very pop rock sounds to them. "Son of A Loaded Gun" and 'Tear Jerker" are acoustic tunes with a definite folk feel to them. "Back A' MaBuick" deals with exactly what it sounds like.

Members of the band cite influences from Jeff Beck, Eddie Van Halen, Stewart Copeland and Squeeze. With influences that span such a broad arena of music, the outcome of the album could be quite interesting. Blue Train's music revolves aroundsynthesized drums and a variety of keyboard effects. "The Business of Dreams"features nine tracks, two of which are ballads. The first single off the album is "All I Need Is You." The song entered the charts at one time but never made a name for itself. If you are a fan of groups like New Order or Squeeze, you may want to check this album out.

Despite not starting the season as dominating as most preseason observers thought the two loams would, there has been a striking similarity between the two teams' fortunes ihis year. First of all both squads began the season losing 10 of their first 14 games. This early season skid was as disappointing as it was unexpected for both the men and women. The men's team took its early season losses especially hard. Picked to finish anywhere from number one to number three indifferent preseason polls, the Mountaineers entered the season with a realistic hope of having the best season ever for an ASU learn. Such hopes are often hard to live up to. As for the Lady Apps, a third straight trip to iheNCAA tournament and another Southern Conference championship seemed not only realistic but almost easily attainable before the season started. One of the reasons for the sluggish start for the two teams was also similar. A series of Hugh, nonconference road games filled each squad's schedule. The women played 10 of Iheir first 14 games on the road, while the men played nine of their first 14 contests away from Varsity Gym. At one point, the men went 41 days between home games. Winning on the road is the most difficult task in sports, and winning a series of consecutive road games, with no chance to go home and regroup is almost impossible. Both squads also share a likeness in that the return of a talented player from knee injury is vital to their success. For the women this player is Shannon Thomas, a splendid forward who missed much of last season after undergoing •rthroscopic surgery. For the men, Rodney Peel was expected to tome back after missing all but one minute of last season after being forced to undergo reconstructive knee surgery. Both Thomas and Peel were expected to be able to come back from serious injuries and be in game condition from day one. For both Thomas and Peel, it has Proven to be a much longer process. Finally, and most importantly, both teams kavc started to come together and peak in the last two weeks. Both teams seem to have shaken off the effects of a difficult start. The women are currently in second place in ^conference, while the men are in third after Picking up consecutive road wins at Marshall The Appalachian State Mountaineers picked up their fourth consecutive Southern Conference vic­ tory Monday with a come-from-behind 80-67 vic­ tory at Virginia Military. The Mountaineers, who dropped their first two league tilts, improved to 4-2 in the conference and 8-10 overall with the victory. "It was a great win for us," ASU assistant coach Ralph Patterson said. "It gave us our second consecutive road win, and it makes the East Ten­ nessee State game Saturday have even more mean­ ing." Trailing 46-37 with justover a minute gone by in the second half, Appalachian grabbed control of the game with a furious 18-5 spurt. When sopho­ more guard Tony Thompson drilled a three-pointer at the 11:53 mark, ASU led 55-51. After a Jonathan Goodman layup brought VMI back to within two points, the Apps reeled off seven unanswered points to vault to a 62-53 lead with nine minuies to play. The Keydets, who shot only 29 percent from the floor in the second half, could get no closer than eight points after that. The Mountaineers' lead ballooned to as many as 17 points late in the game before VMI was able to cut it down to the final 80-67 margin. Thompson paced five Mountaineer double-fig­ ure scorers with 18 points, including a dozen in the second half. In addition, Thompson canned four of five three-point attempts on the night. As a team, the Mountaineers drained nine out of 17 threepoint tries. 'Tony Thompson played like we knew he was capable of playing all along," Patterson said. "We thought he could be an impact player, and now he is. He's playing as well as any perimeter player in the league." By SHANNON MCGINNIS Appalachian Staff Writer Tim Powers and Billy Ross also reached the double-figure plateau for the Mountaineers, with 12 points apiece. Rodney Peel tallied 11 points, all in the first half, and senior forward Steve Spurlock chipped in 10 points for the Apps. Sophomore forward Ricky Nedd hauled down . 12 rebounds for Appalachian, which claimed a decisive 41-28 rebounding edge. Keydet forward Jonathan Penn topped all scor­ ers with 29 points on the evening. Charlie Petzold was the only other double-digit scorer for VMI. Petzold scored 10 points and snagged a game-high 13 boards for the Keydets, who fell to 6-9 overall and 2-3 in the SC. Virginia Military got out of the gates quickly in the contest. After a jumper by Peel gave the Apps a quick 2-0 lead, the Keydets ran off 10 straight points. Penn scored seven points during the stretch. The Mountaineers went on an 8-0 run of their own to cut the deficit to 12-10 at the 14:15 mark. The Keydets, who shot 53 percent in the first half, then exploded on a 13-2 binge over the next three minutes. When Penn sank his second threepointer of the half, VMI led 25-12. The Virginia Military lead grew to 14points,3218, with 8:24 to play, and the Keydets still held an 11-point adavntage at the 3:36 mark, before the Mountaineers clawed back into the contest. Appalachian was able to slice the lead in half before halftime. A layup by Spurlock and Peel's third three-point shot of the half cut the deficit to 38-33. The teams then exchanged baskets, and VMI went into the locker room with a 40-35 advantage. "It wasn't exactly the way we had hoped to start out," Patterson proclaimed. "But we thought when we started to play hard the game was ours." Appalachian has another stiff road test litis Sat­ urday at EastTennessee State, before playing six of their last eight games at home. The Appalachian State wrestling team defeated Gardner-Webb on Tuesday, Jan.28 by a final score of 35-7. ASU Head Coach Paul Mance was pleased with the team's victory but believes the team could have had an even greater victory. "We certainly could have done a better job than we did," commented Mance. "There were too many close matches." "I just don't think the kids were as intense as in the past because they were not in jeopardy,"Mance continued. "They wrestled to win instead of wres­ tling to win big." Appalachian won all matches with the excep­ tion of two. Five key wrestlers sat out during the match because Mance believed that Appalachian would still have a good chance of winning. "There are times when you have to reward the kids who are working hard in practice," Mance said. 'This happened to be an opportunity to allow these kids to wrestle." Appalachian is having a very successful season. The team is 12-2 but could have possibly been 14- 0, according to Mance.Their only two losses were to Clemson and N. C. State who are ranked in the top 25 in the nation. "We've had some problems with some serious injuries that could have really hurt us, but the team as a whole has done a good job," commented Mance. Sophomore Kyle Kuykendall agreed. "We've had a pretty good year this year, and we have a lot of good talent on the team," Kuykendall said, "We should be in a pretty good running this year for the conference." The conference tournament will be held March 8. Mance believes that how well the team performs atTennessee-Chatanoogaon Feb. 2 will determine their performance in the conference. According to Mance, Appalachian vs. UTC will be the "toughest dual meet in the conference." Appalachian has been either first or second in the conference meet for much of the last decade. UTC is Appalachian's biggest competition. Senior Bill Baker commented, "This weekend is going to be a nasty match. The fans get really involved into the match and you (the team) really have to concentrate on what you're doing on the mat."

The second game was a romp. Southern Mis­ sissippi number 2 was crushed by ASU 38-0. In the third game, ASU suffered its first loss at the hands of Southern Louisiana. The score was 19-7. Southem Louisiana eventually went on to win the num­ ber four slot. Advancing to the quarterfinals, Bad Company ripped into Southern Mississippi number 1, 20-7. ASU's fifth and final game was against the second place Gainsville College. Both of ASU's losses came from teams that made it to the top four. N.C. State was the tournament champion. "When we got there everyone was asking where ASU was,"said player Scott Kleban."After we left everyone knew." ASU OFFICIALS HEAD TO NEW ORLEANS ASU sent four intramural officials to theUSF&G National Flag Football Championship Tournament. Mike Blanton, Alan Crumley, Joe Sturgis and Sam Bennett weTe all selected to officiate the event. They each officiated 22 games, Bennett and Sturgis were selected to officiate a quarterfinal game, and Blanton officiated the championship game. "It was a learning experience," Blanton said.

The Lady Mountaineers dropped an 83-71 decision to College of Charleston Monday in Varsity Gym. Appalachian State is now 6-11 heading into the season's final stages. The Appalachian State women's basketball team suffered a rare non-conference home-loss Mon­ day, 83-71, to College of Charleston. The loss dropped the Lady Mountaineers to 6-11 on the season and snapped a two-game ASU win­ ning streak. The Lady Mountaineers shot only 42 percent from the field in the contest. Appalachian con­ nected on only 29 of 69 shots in the game. College of Charleston was led by Natalie Seel, who scored a game-high 24 points. Seel hit eight of her 15 field goal attempts, including four of seven from three-point range. Seel also grabbed a teamhigh 10 rebounds. Allene Fleming and Maria Williams also had strong scoring performancesfor College of Charles­ ton. Fleming poured in 19 points and grabbed nine boards, while Williams had 18 points. Tara Currin scored 11 points. But perhaps the biggest force in the game for College of Charleston was center Denise Hogue. Hogue scored just two points and grabbed only three rebounds, but blockeda career-high 11 Appa­ lachian shots before fouling out of the contest. Sophomore Penny Roberson led the Appala­ chian State charge with a team-high 23 points. Roberson canned eightof her 15 field goal attempts on the evening, including the Lady Mountaineers' only three-point goal of the night. Senior forward Shannon Thomas was the only other Lady App performer to score in double fig­ ures. Thomas drilled home 17 points, but hit just seven of 20 shots from the floor. Thomas also led the Lady Mountaineers with 11 rebounds. Regina Ikard scored six points and hauled down nine rebounds for Appalachian, while Shery1 Lynch had six points, eight rebounds and five assists. Lynch also committed six of the team's 18 turn­ overs. The Lady Mountaineers led for much of the early part of the second half and held a 47-44 lead with just under 15 minutes to go in the game. College of Charleston then took the lead for good with a 13-4 spurt. When Seel drained a threepointer at the 11:05 mark. College of Charleston took a 57-51 advantage. Appalachian battled back to within two points, 61-59, with just under eight minutes to play, but a quick five-point spurt extended the lead to seven, 66-59, at the six minute mark. The lead hovered between seven and 11 points for much of the remainder of the game,but College of Charleston took an 83-69 lead with 21 seconds remaining. Mitzi Story's basket with seven sec­ onds left cut the final margin to 83-71. College of Charleston led for most of the first half, building up a seven-point cushion at one point. The Mountaineers were able to come back, how­ ever, and took a 29-28 lead on a Jeanne CokeT 19foot jumper. The lead switched hands several times before the end of the first half, but the Lady Mountaineers grabbed a 35-33 lead at the break on a chip-shot basket by Lynch.

I have learned more in the past two and a half years than in any of the other 17 and a half years of my life. I chose ASU because I heard it had the best teacher education program in the Southeast, and that has been proven to me since I've been here. I have never had a bad professor; I have learned something from every class I have taken here and in many classes I have learned a lot I have no criticisms at all for ASU or any particular program, but I do have some questions about college educational programs in general. The first is about read­ ing. Remember in highschool, when we used to complain about having to read 20 pages per night for one or two classes? Could we have even fathomed reading all that we read now? Would we have questioned the need for all that reading? College courses only span three and a half months. During that three and a half months, at least a year's worth of material has to be covered. In some departments, for example, the history department, the amount of material gets larger every year. The reason it gets larger in the history department is because every year, another year is added onto history. Literature courses are another ex­ ample of a lot of material having to be covered in a period of time in which it is impossible to do justice to what is being taught. The logical response seems to be to assign as much outside reading as is needed to even come close to covering all the material. The question, however, does arise as to how much reading a person's short-term memory can handle at once. A typical short-term memory only has seven or eight "slots." Each individual"slot" only holds a certainamount of information. During the learning process, a person takes information into his or her short-term memory, then later on, the information isstored in the long-term memory, basically forever or at least as long as it needs to be stored. Material stored in the long-term memory is material actually learned. Material taken into the short-term memory which isn't stored in the long-term memory is retained for a period of time, then forgotten. The question raised here is, even if a person is doing all 100 pages of reading that he or she is expected to do a night, how much is he or she actually retaining? Certainly not all 100 pages. Of course the purpose of reading is not to memorize everything on every page, but to get a sort of overall picture of what the professor is trying to teach in a particular lesson. But is it necessary to read 100 pages in one sitting in order to get an overall picture? Also, why does it seem that the most boring classes require the most reading? Depending on your major, you probably do more reading your freshman year than any year afterwards, because general college courses require more reading than many of the higher-level courses in most departments (emphasis on most). Not saying that all general college classes are boring, but they are the ones that everyone has to take whether they want to or not. Some classmates and I were told my freshman year that if we could not read at least 50 pages an hour, we should immediately leant to read more quickly if we wanted to survive college. I admit that I still don't read 50 pages an hour. I lose a lot of sleep that I wouldn't need to lose if I were a faster reader. But I'm lucky because most of the reading I do is interesting. Another questionable factor in educational policies is the purpose of final exams, particularly comprehensive ones. The purpose of final exams is supposedly to make sure that students have learned all the material they were supposed to learn over the semester. Of course, some type of evaluation is needed for this purpose. However, since the purpose is to make sure that students have learned all the material they are supposed to learn, it makes sense not to make a student who has an A in the course take the final. Many professors at ASU make thisconcession for their Astudents. Also, if we are going to have finals, they should not contain picky, detailed, What-did-George-Washingtoneat-for-breakfast-on-May 10, 1776-type questions. This type of exam does not test whether or not students have learned the material for the course, but rather, it tests how well they can cram the night before the test. The purpose of going to college should be to learn. If reading 100 pages a night is the way to learn as much as we can, then by all means we should be reading 100 pages a night. But if the material we read is going through one slot in the short-term memory and out another, then it's time to re-examine the purpose of reading so much. Same with exams—exams should test the material that should have been learned within a certain period of time, not how well a student can study, memorize, regurgitate material on a test and then forget about it the next day. Forgetting the next day is not learning, and if we aren't learning, our efforts to get an education are all but wasted. Editor's note: Tarleton is a junior from Wilson.

In order to solve this very real danger. 44 99 my proposal also will make it mandatory for all children to consume alcohol on a regular basis. Between the ages of 12 and 13, a child must consume alcohol at least four times a week. After that, as long as consumption is at least once a month it will suffice. Parents should make their kids get extremely intoxicated (with vom­ iting) at least once every six weeks, so they will leam early the painful effects of irresponsible drinking. It may alsobe considered later, although it is not included in this proposal, for parents to get their children intoxicated, then persuade them to give away all of the money they have in their wallets or purses. This will teach children theextent to which alcohol impairs keen judgment and sane reasoning. Once these proposals have been put into action, it will not take more than a few short years for the epidemic of alcoholics and drunkendrivers tosubsist The quicker we get this plan into action, the better. Please, join in the fight to bring this com­ mon sense forward into law. We have no time to lose. Family appreciates ASU's show of love THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON Family thanks ASU for its kindness To the Editor: "I'm starting to feel dependent. We want the student body, faculty, and staff at ASU to know how very much your expressions of love and friendship have meant not just to us but to all our families and friends during this very sad time. We have read every name in the Memorial Book, every card and note written and all the flowers are receiving loving care. I wish we could reach out to each of you individually and tell you what a warm feeling you have given us. I wish I could have visited with each of you that were here and let you know how deeply touched we were that so many of Greg's friends came to share our grief. Your love liter­ ally carried us through. We have suffered the greatest loss a family can endure and the pain has been tremendous. Greg was a very warm and caring individual and he knew how much he was loved by his friends and family. He loved ASU, he loved Boone and he loved all of you. He mentioned several times beginning with his freshman year that he would like to live and work in Watauga County. He led us to believe he was work­ ing toward these goals and getting on with his life. The last five years Greg had trouble dealing with the sudden death of a very close friend. We do not have any answers as to why this happened. We can only trust that God's will has been done, and Greg's grief and pain have been put to rest, and he is at peace. I have found comfort in this scripture from the Book of Matthew— "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field."—Matthew 13:44 Your friendship is one of the treasures the Lord has given us. A phone call, a note or a visit from any of you in the years to come would be like a hug from Greg. You all are wonderful people, and we are so proud that you were Greg's friends. May God bless and guide each of you through your life. true nature. David Duke, the unashamed Republican, does not dance around the issues like George Bush, the closet Republican. Zeke, Sue and Karen Carter 1041 Timberwood Ct. Matthews, N.C. 28105 When confronted with environmental problems, David Duke will not force a concerned look and exclaim, "We need! further study on this issue." No, David ' Duke is an honest man; he will tell you straight out that he could not possibly care less about the environment. When confronted with civil rights legislation, David Duke would not offer some meek and vague rhetoric about "quotas." No, David Duke is an honest man; he would tell everyone how America cares for Kuwaitis about as much as it cares for the students in China, or the people of Yugoslavia; Because of David Duke's newfound Christianity, he would be implored to tell the truth. He would tell American- that they were killing and ' being killed for oil. And so my question is this: if Republicans are so confident that a Democrat cannot win the White House in 1992, then for heaven's sake why don't they run a real Republican like David Duke, instead of a closet Republican like George Bush? i David Duke: the honest Republican To the Editor. I fail to see what all the fuss about David Duke is about. He is only a Republican, spouting the same rhetoric Republicans have been espousing for the past 20 years. The passionate speeches about how government is stifling our economy, the strange concept of reverse discrimination, exploiting race to get votes, appealing to the fears of the electorate, condemn­ ing the liberals, all of this is business as usual for the Grand Old Party. Why then do they have such a problem with the man? He should be applauded; for he is something rare in modern politics, an honest Republican.

Seniors should begin looking for jobs and interviewing for jobs in the fallof their senior years. Ball said. "Those people who are persistent in their job searches will be successful," Ball said. "I'm not sure I'd recommend someone going to graduate school just to avoid a weak economy. I think the reason to go to graduate school is to further develop inter­ ests or skills," Ball said. j*hian Staff Writer According to Ball, employers are look­ ing for certain characteristics and skills, such as leadership, communication and interpersonal skills and grades. Such at­ tributes aredeveloped through co-cutricu­ lar activities. Ball said. "Experience is one of the single most important criterion employers look for, and it'sgained through internships or other learning experiences," Ball said. The best way which students can pre­ pare themselves for the job market and for their future careers is through participa­ tion in internships, Ball said. "Those students who have had intern­ ships will have a leg up on thejobmarket," Ball said. ASU offers help in various ways to seniors who wish to begin looking forjobs and preparing for interviews. ASU's Ca­ reer Development Center offers career counseling, student employment for parttime and summer work, graduate school information, career fairs and job search skills seminars and workshops. The Career Development Center also offers placement services, which provide students with on-campus interviews with prospective employersand listingsof avail­ able jobs, and a career library, that has job market upxlates and information on vari­ ous careers. The Alumni Career Hotline is another service provided by the Career Developrment Center. The hotline, which operates 24 hours a day and is updated weekly, gives job listings in North and SouthCarolina for many types of work. Orientation, r6sum6 and interviewing workshops are also services of the Career Development Center and are of­ fered to students through the end of April.

Vending machines sales have gone up 500 percent since food services began allowing the use of the meal card on vending machines this year, said Ron Dubberly, director of food services. Due to the success of the expansion of the uses for identification card, a new laundry service is being tested in Winkler Residence Hall using Appalachian ex­ piress accounts. The money that is being made from the vending machine sales will allow food services to cut pirices in other areas, Dubberly said. "Drastic changes in serving hours and positions held in food services have oc­ curred due to the increase in use of the vending machines," Dubberly said. These changes have had to offset the huge increase of the popularity of the vending machines. One problem that has occurred in the use of the vending machines has been their abuse by students, who use lighters across thepjart that takes the card, Dubberly said. The heat from the lighter causes the machine to react, and allows violators to steal concessions, Dubberly said. Some offenders have been caught and they will be tried by the student judiciary.

ASU seniors decide on library fund for class gift By KENNY KIDD Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian State University's senior committee has decided that the class of 1992's gift to the university will be a library fund, after allowing the seniors to vote on their choice of the gift Students seem to be happy with this year's decision of the library fund, said ^din S ^>er'0<Lca's' Tracy Ford, the seniorcommittee advisor. Last year's gazebo and garden area gift, which has not been built yet, faced some controversy, according to Ford. "It was the voted choice of the class, so that was the gift given," said Ford. "Many students felt the gift should have been given to the library last year, and were disappointed by the gazebo." The money for this year's fund will go toward purchasing books, periodicals and other reading and electronic supplies Belk Library needs. The specific materials will be ordered according to need by Belk Library, where no one was available for comment. The senior committee was formed in 1990 when many administrators began to see the need for a bonding force within the senior class as the number of students at Appalachian grew. Ford said.

These computers have to process infor­ mation from the ID at Trivette and then the information comes back to the snack machine allowing the user to make a se­ lection. There are 94 machines that can be tam­ pered with. Of that, 60 machines have been fixed to ensure this does not reoccur and the other 34 machines will accepX cash only until they are fixed. Vending machines that contain snack food, juice, cold food and coffee ma­ chines are owned by Appalachian State University. However,soft drink machines are either owned by Pepsi or Coca Cola.' All together there are 146 vending ma­ chines on campus that accept the meal card. Of this number, there are 41 snack machines, 76 Coke and Pepsi machines, 16 juice machines and one coffee ma­ chine. More juice machines andcold food machines will probably be available on campus next semester, according to Dubberly. Another use for the ID is laundry ser­ vices. If the trial pieriod goes well, then more laundry machines will accept the ID card in the future. The only way for stu­ dents to use this service is by having an expjress account along with their meal plan. Dubberly said this may prevent the current abuse of washing machines and dryers. If successful, these machines will be a new addition to all the residence halls on campus. • Rap promoter Sean Combs, known as Puff Daddy, advertised the event as a fund-raiser for AIDS without actually lin­ ing up a charity beforehand and left the task of promotion to two pieople with no experience. • The Evening Student Government refused to cooperate withcollege officials in planning the celebrity basketball game. • Emergency Medical Service workers and piolice dispatchers need to communi­ cate more effectively.

Graduation Continued from page 1 courses and take them in sequence," McLeod said. Although students at ASU have always graduated in December, the commence­ ment ceremony in December 1991 was only the second year aceremony was held for December graduates. According to McLeod, a demand from seniors and from the Student Gov­ ernment Association prompted a gradua­ tion ceremony for December graduates. 'There are enough people graduating at that time to justify a commencement ceremony," McLeod said. December graduatesused to be invited to thegraduation ceremonies held inM ay, but that was ineffective because it was inconvenient for the graduates to return, McLeod said. *259 FN,0' Alton S.

One of the advantages of being a student at Appalachian State University is the opportunity to ski at any one of the nearby resorts. Most of these resorts opened their slopes around Thanksgiving. Some offer group rates, student rates and package deals. There is even a skiing class available through the university. One of the three closest resorts to the campus is Ski Beech Mountain. This resort has 13 slopes, eight lifts and one quad lift. Their rates differ from weekday to weekend, and also on holidays. A regular lift ticket for a day of skiing during the week at Ski Beech Mountain is $25. On the week­ end, the price changes to $33. Rentals range from $12 during the week, to $15 on the weekend. Lessons are available here at arate of $13 for a group and $30 for a private lesson. Ski Beech Mountain offers a great package deal that includes a lift ticket, rentals and a lesson for $30 during the week, $40 on Sunday and $45 on Satur­ day for a group of 15 or more people. A special student's rate of $10 is offered every Sunday and Monday night. Another nearby ski resort is the Sugar Mountain Resort. There are 18 slopes and eight lift*. There are weekday and weekend rates, and even half day rates. A full-weekday, lift ticket is $25, and a halfweekday is $18. There are also lessons available at Sugar Moun­ tain forbeginners that spend more time falling than skiing. A group lesson is $11, and a private lesson is $25. Saturday and holiday prices will vary. Steve Atherton, anemployee atSugar Mountain Resort and a former ASU student, pointed out that Sugar Mountain has "the longest run in North Carolina or Virginia, and that's a mile and a half. It also has the longest vertical drop." Atherton claims that Sugar Mountain Resort has a lot to offer. Appalachian Ski Mountain offers skiing not far from ASU. This resort has eight slopes and several special student rates. A deal called the "Student Season Membership," enables students to ski any­ time during the season for only $225. This mem­ bership also includes a parking pass. Appalachian Ski Mountain also offers group lessons for $11 with the French Swiss Ski College. The availability of local ski slopes also allows ASU to offer a one hour P.E. credit to students through a skiing class. The class, offered spring semester, is open to all students. SKI WHILE THE SNOW IS HERE: Ski resorts may have been disappointed with theunusually warm weather before Christmas, but the recent snow has brought business from all over the United States. Boone hotline tutors local elementary school students By PAUL D.STOKES Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian State University now helps stu­ dents in Watauga's elementary school system through the installation of a homework hotline. The hotline is designed to help elementary stu­ dents, grades three through eight, with their home­ work. It is operated by volunteers that are a part of the Appalachian State University chapter of the North Carolina Association of Educators. The hotline is able to assist the students in any subject taught in those grades. The donation of text books by the Watauga County school system made this possible. "Having the textright there is a tremendous help for the volunteers. Without it the hotline would be almost impossible to pull off," said Brian Kirby, a senior at Appalachian. Kirby, founder and president of the hotline, is a North Carolina Teaching Fellow recipient. This is a reason for his dedication to the success of this project. With an average of about 12 calls a night, four nightsa week, he and the rest of the volunteers believe the hotline is going well. The project began in March 1991. "Dr. Strickland (dean of the College of Educa­ tion) has been real supportive of our project," said Kirby. "He found a vacant office for us to use and the student (NCAE) chapter pays the phone bill." "The hotline was first attempted in about six or seven elementary schools," said Dr. Marjorie Farris, the advisor to the NCAE chapter of ASU. The students worked hours from 7 to 9 pjn. Monday through Friday and kept records of everything that was done. The testing of the program lasted until the ending of the 1991 spring semester. At the beginning of the 1991-92 school year, the Watauga elementary system decided to keep the program. One of the reasons for the success of the program is that the hotline is not a way to get quick answers for homework. "We don't want to be known as an answer bank," said Kirby. "Volunteers are discouraged from giving out answers. This is supposed to be a tutoring process to help students discover the an­ swers themselves." So far the project has been implemented well, and the Watauga County teachers have had no complaints. The members of the NCAE are also reaping the rewards. "It gives the education majors who are in NCAE a chance to work with students one on one and gives them a feel for what it will be like to be involved in tutoring," said Kirby. "It's a great education for the people here." This program also works to benefit the relations held between the community and ASU by allowing ASU to.give to the community. Many people have high hopes for this program and think the hotline will be around for many years to come. GIC offers group resource Outdoor Programs opens high ropes course in March By CANDA F. SMITH Appalachian Et Cetera Editor ONE OF THE CHALLENGES OF THE GIC: Student Rhonda McLamb of Gastonia is one of the hundreds of ASU students and faculty that have taken advantage of the Group Interaction course, an Outdoor Programs resource. This course has been successful in its effort to help unify groupson campus. The Group Interaction Course is an activity that allows the participants to rely solely on communi­ cation, faith and trust within the group. Outdoor Programs sponsors the GIC that takes place behind Broyhill Inn and Conference Center. Over 600 Freshmen Seminar students have uti­ lized the GIC facilities this semester. Faculty groups, ACT and some Greek organizations, for example, have experienced the group building exercise. Lisa Murry, the Coordinatorof the GIC, encour­ ages groups to take advantage of the excellent opportunity to improve or establish communica­ tion and to practice teamwork. "We are fortunate to have the facility available on campus. But the surroundings are removed from campus so there are no distractions," said Murry. Murry also commented that the challenge of the course may depend on the relationship of the group. Parts of the course may not be suited for a newly acquainted group, however, other obstacles may not be challenging enough for a group of people that knows each other well. Some of the obstacles require a loss of sight, therefore, forcing the participants to depend on the nearest person. Other obstacles may require com­ plete silence or having to use one leg or one arm. The ideas for the different challenges come from resource books and Outward Bound courses, said Joe Quinn, the director of Outdoor Programs, who worked with Outward Bound for 12 years. Quinn added that they are trying to expand on the GIC and wanting to try new events. A high ropes course is the next endeavor for Outdoor Programs. Other activities offered atOutdoor programsare rafting, mountain biking, funyaking (inflatable Kayak-type boats), caving, kayaking, canoeing, rock climbing, cross-country skiing, horseback riding and hiking. Each of these trips includes a certain fee. Slots fill up quickly so it is best to gain and sign up as early as possible. There is a rental program for canoes, mountain bikes, tents, backpacks and sleeping bags. These are available torent Monday through Friday 9 ajn. to 5 p.m. Students will be charged if theequipment is damaged. Outdoor Programs is concerned with helping students learn and take advantage of the surround­ ings, while protecting the environment. The activi­ ties offer recreation, leadership opportunities and challenging outdoor situations. They also can plan an outing for any on-campus group. These trips can be used to achieve the same goals of team-building as for GIC. All the GIC instructors are students trained at Outdoor Programs. If interested in getting a group to tackle the GIC, call Outdoor Programs at 2622475. "The GIC presents challenges in communica­ tion and teamwork," Murry said. "It builds trust, community and risk taking. Every obstacle is pre­ sented as a group challenge." Appalread helps ASU employees to further education ji Staff members can attend classes which allow them to set their own goals and use acquired skills By SHERRY LEW ALLEN Appalachian Staff Writer Today, all across the United States, literacy programs are offered for adults who need enrich­ ment in reading and writing skills. Appalachian State University responded by introducing an Appalread program to staff members. A recent survey showed that 100 out of Appalachian's 900 staff members did not have high school educations. Currently, 45 employees are enrolled in basic skills and GED courses of­ fered at four campus locations. "With an emphasis on literacy programs nationwide, we felt this was a perfect opportunity to emphasize this type of program for our employ­ ees," said Susie Beasley of Appalachian's person­ nel office. "Wherever you are in your education, you can come into Appalread mid further your education." In the past, Appalachian has offered similar employee education programs withCaldwell Com­ munity College and through tuition-free college classes, the classes are conveniently on campus. Employees are given release time to attend classes, which meet two hours a day twice a week. Classes are flexible to focus on the needs of the staff. Supervisors are encouraged to support the employees who wish to take advantage of Appalread. Instructors axe Dr. Cheryl Knight and Carolyn Smith from Appalachian, and Ann Kecter from Caldwell Community College. Students and employees serve as volunteer tutors for the pro­ gram. The Appalread program began this fall and already shows favorable results. "The employees feel good about themselves and are happy about what they are doing," Beasley said. The program allows staff members to set their own goals and use their acquired skills in whatever way they choose. Someemployees take advantage of Appalread for the sole purpose of learning how to read. Others may want to learn to balance their own checkbook, or just feel better about them­ selves by knowing they have received their GED. Improved skills also increase chances of promotions for ASU employees. At the end of December, Caldwell Communil College will evaluate the progress of the studerr in this program. The results from this evaluatio will reveal how many students will be receiviri their GEDs and how effective these classes ha\ been in advancing reading and mathematical ^)cill "It has already made a difference," Beasley sail Refined education opens many doors for tho> who have low paying jobs, so they may have t opportunity to earn more money in higher payir jobs. This increase in income would better the wt of living for many employees. Through the university's tuition-free prograr some 70 to 100 employees, including faculty, sta and public school personnel, take job-relat< courses each semester, many earning bachelor �The Appalachian.

"We're igBSiitvive this stretch and then get B second half where we can build yponientum at home heading into jddference) tournament Tonight we mi" [hMountaineer survival is even more pgjve considering the combined three-of-16 shooting performance and 15 total points from Billy Ross and Steve Spurlock, the top twoscorers on theteam. Ross made just two of 11 shots from the floor while Spurlock, suffering from the flu, was just one-of-flve, but made nine free throws to finish with 11 points. The biggest key to ASU's survival was free throw shooting. Entering the game, the Mountaineers were shooting 67 per­ cent fromthe line. Saturdaynight Appala chian made 17 of 19 free throw attempts, including two by Tony Thompson with one second left that sealed the victory. With 12 seconds to play, ASU led by five points at 73-68. Marshall's Shawn Brailsford scored and was fouled to cut die lead to 73-70. Brailsford missed die free throw but Luke Gross tipped it in for die Herd to trim the lead to 73-72 with 11 seconds to play. After Appalachian got the ball inbounds to Thompson, Marshall was unable to foul until one second re­ mained. The Apps led 35-29 at halftime and eventually extended theirlead to 10 points at62-52 when Tim Powersscored a three point play with 8:11 left in the contest. Appalachian took the lead for good with 3:26 left in the first half when Rodney Peel hit a three-pointer to make the score 29-27. Peel made six three-pointers on the night, tying a school record, en route to scoring 20 points. ASU takes two of three Powers also scored 20 points and grabbed six rebounds, while Thompson scored 11 and Jeff Williams pitched in eight, six of which came in an 11-2 ASU run that erased an early 13-7 Marshall lead. Ricky Nedd, who entered the game averaging nine points per game scored just one point but grabbed a team-high eight rebounds. Marshall, forced to play without the services ofTony Phillips, the team's lead­ ing-scorer and -rebounder, was led by Gross, whoscored a career-high 18 points. "We had a chance to win a game at the end,"a disappointed Dwight Freeman said. "We're getting better, and these guys «e real competitors. Idon't think they'll ever accept losing." "It feels a lot better after winning three in a row than it did a couple of times this season when we lost three in a row," Apke said. "But what that means as far as mo­ mentum and those things go, 1 don't know." ASU has now won three games ina row for the first time all season aid was set to play at Virginia M ilitary Institutelast night to attempt to extend the streak.

Morrison nearly elqualifying for the six person final, bag seventh in the semi-final race. This mark bests her record breaking per­ formance set last week of 8.07. Although none of the Lady Mountain­ eers were able to qualify far the finals, several recorded season's best marks and Southern Conference leading marks. Senior Lynette Gardin ran 58.76 in the 400m for a personal indoor best and set a conference leading mark. The mile relay team (Monica Teeter, Tonie Lazenby, Sabrina Hill and Gardin) clocked 4:06.1 to set a conference leading mark. The two mile relay squad set a conference mark of 9:50.4 with Julie Anderson, Jessica Parkhan, Lone Pedersen and Dee Anna Davis. ASU Head Coach John Weaver was pleased with the overall performance of the Lady Mountaineers. "This is a very high quality meet," Weaver said. "We had a couple of our ladies come close to qualifying for the finals. At this stage of the season, we feel good about the development of the indi­ vidual athletes and the direction the team is taking in becoming stronger for the Southern Conference Championship." The Lady Mountaineers also received good results from Donna Propst who clocked 7.67 in the 55m and 2838 in die 200m, Teeter and Beth Burleson in the 55m hurdles turning in respective times of 8.56 and 8.93 and Lazenby in the 400m with a time of 61.29.

Lawrence Lloyd clocked 7.83 in the 55m hurdles, Eric Joe ran 5035 in the 400m run, and the mile relay team of Lloyd, Joe, Kedrick Ford and Jason Dalton clocked 3:21.77. Dalton also recorded the fourth fastest all-time performance in the 200m with a time of 2233 as well as leading ASU in the 55m at 6.59. "Overall, we improved from last week and in many areas we improved our posi­ tion within the conference," ASU Head Coach A1 Fereshetian said. Other strong performances forthe Apps came from Jamie Griggs, Dust in Alfred, Alan Whicker, Billy Pemberton. Steve Simandle, Eric Roberts and Rob Grant. "Weprobabfy wrestledour worstmalch of theyear," ASU HeadCoach Paul Mance said."It was a bad day all the way around." Mance said injuries to several key Mountaineer grapplers hindered the squad's perfomunce against Clemson, forcing several wrestlers to step up in weight class. "You had betterbe at full strength when you wrestle a Top 25 club like Clemson." Mance explained. "We already had three or four people out going into the match. We didn't wrestle well, and we didn't wrestle with a good altitude because we knew some of our kids were not at full strength. The players or thecoaches didn't have a good attitude going intothe match." After ASU freshman Mike Orris lost a tough decision in the 118-pound class, undefeated Donne11 Rawls picked up a convincing 18-0, technical fall victory in the 126-poundclass. Rawls normally com­ petes in the 118-pound category. Clemson then captured victories in the 134 and 142-poundclasses, before ASU's Adrian Hinesshut out his opponent, 6-0 in the 150-pound division. Heavyweight Melvin Crosby, making his Mountaineer debut, scared a pin in 6:56 against Tiger Robbie Derrick for ASU's final victory of the day. Crosby transferred to ASU from Wilkes Commu­ nity College. "That was the bright spot of the day far us," Mance said of Crosby's performance. "We are definitely stronger in the heavy­ weight division now." Appalachian bouncedback Saturday to defeat William and Mary, 30-10, and Campbell, 31-10. "Our kids did a good job Saturday," Mance commented.

The win moved ASU's overall record o 6-10, and, more importantly, kept the -ady Apps in second place in the league with a 3-1 mark. The 14-point win also rontinued thehealing process for Robinson md her squad, which started the season410 and looking nowhere near the team that preseason observers picked to win the conference title. "We have played a terrifically hard schedule, and we have played it predomi­ nantly on the road," Robinson said of her team's early season troubles. "We are ecstatic to be back playing at home, and it is nice to have this eight-game home stand." Against the Lady Herd, Shannon Tho­ try f«T»' tfirtTTT- mas and Regma Ik aid did much of the LADY MOUNTAINEERS ON A ROLL: ASU senior forward Shannon Thomas hit . damage that ensured the Lady Appswould eight of nine field goal tries en route to a 20-point performance against Marshall start the home stand off on a good note. The duo combined for 16-of-19 shooting from die floor, 38 points, 13 rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks. "We have two of the best post players in die conference in Regma Ikard and Shannon Thomas," Robinson said."That might be the best combination of post players in the conference, and that gives us a big edge." As impressive as Thomas and Ikard were, they were only part of what Robinson called a "complete game" for ASU. The Lady Mountaineers shot 53.6 percent from the floor for the ballgame, including a 19for-29 second half performance, and outrebounded Marshall 38-26. "I was really proud of our team be­ cause I thought we could have pulled away from them early in the game, but we couldn't gel the easy shots to fall," Robinson said. "After what we've been through this season, some teams might have quit, but we didn't. We kept playing hard defense, and our shots started to fall in the second half. Our goal was to play a complete game, and I think we did that." The win keeps Appalachian just half a gone behind conference leader Tennes­ see-Chattanooga. The Lady Apps dropped a contest in Chattanooga last week, but the Lady Apps will make a return visit to Boone on Feb. 8 in what is quickly shap­ ing up to be a game that will go far in deciding the regular season champion­ ship. The win also continues ASU's resurgance from a struggling, 4-10 team, into a contender for the league title and a third straight appearance in the NCAA tournament. "We just really get together at the end of the yearand seem to really jell asa team late in the season," Robinson said. "We like to begame-ready in February, whereas other teams might like to be game-ready die first game of theseason. Our kidshave a lot of confidence that they can put this thing together." Thomas' reappearance as one of the dominant forces in the conference has correlated with ASU's turnaround as a team. Thomas was forced to miss much of last season with a knee injury and spent the off-season in rehabilitation. In all, Thomas has suffered through three knee surgeries in the last year. "We're just pleased that Shannon has been able to come and play, and play as well as she is right now," Robinson said. "She is just now starting to come back around and gain confidence, and she is also learning to play with the pain."

TUESDAY, January 28, 1992 NOELLE WILCOX Ad Production Manager Legal drinking age of 21 necessary Cancel classes when temperatures threaten student, faculty safety On Thursday, Jan. 16, administrators at Appalachian State endangered the health of each student attending class that day when they chose to hold classes despitea wind chill factor that plunged temperatures to life-threatening digits, Classes should not have been held that day. The lives of students, faculty and staff were endangered. The wind chill caused conditions to be too cold for those asked to attend class or work. No one should have been forced to walk in such conditions. Getting drunk. Supposedly a typical college-student activity. Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't. In the '70s, before the drinking age was raised to 21 and every college student with a few exceptions wasold enough to drink, there were beer parties on the lawn. We can't do that anymore, at least not without fear of massive arrest. But there are still parties, just not out in the open. People still drink under­ age, and everyone knows about it. Of course some arrests for underage possession of alcohol do occur, but the majority of people who drink underage do not get arrested. Some people say the drinking age should be lowered to 18. It was raised to 21 in 1986 in an effort to decrease the number of alcohol-related traffic fatalities among 18-21 year olds. This decrease has been accomplished. How­ ever, there is still some debate about whether the drinking age should have been raised. Plenty of 18.19 and 20-year° 0,ds are matureenough tohandle alcohol responsibly. The drinking age has been raised to keep those who aren't matore from endangering themselves and everyone else, It s 100 bad the drinking age can't be lowered to 12 for Television and radio weather forecasters had warned mountaineers days in ^se advance of the dangerous temperatures expected that morning. The frigid ,, e wh? ^ mature enough a"d raised 10 60 for 1,10X6 " a™ emouonalmatunty test should be givenforanyonewhowantstobeabletodrinklegally.lt group that made the test, and the person would have to score a certain percentage of emotional maturity, to be a certain"emotional age,"to be able to drink. If theperson's "emotional age" is either 18 or 21, no matter what his or her chronological age is, he or she would be able to legally purchase and consume alcoholic beverages. In several European countries, there is no drinking age. The lack of drinking age has had no adverse effects on the population of these countries. The reason is that people don't drink to get drunk there. They come home from school and have a beer, one beer, just as an American student might come home from school and have a Coke. Europeans might have a glass of wine at dinner, one glass of wine, just as an American might drink iced tea. There is no problem with drinking and driving in Europe, the reason being that there are no warnings for drunk drivers like there are in the United States—none of this having your license takenaway for 30 days forthe first offense. People who get caught driving drunk in Europe never drive again. Some have suggested that if America dropped the drinking age and tightened the drunk driving laws, then maybe we would have as few problems as Europe has. Maybe we would. Part of the thrill of teenage drinking is the idea of doing something illegal and getting away with it. Many people find that their drinking activities decrease after they actually turn 21. The alcohol is available for theii use anytime they can afford to purchase it, and there is no thrill of doing something illegal without getting caught. Drinking isn't any big deal anymore. But even with this in mind, America could probably never eliminate its drinking age, the reason being the way Americans view alcohol. Here, unlike in Europe, alcohol is seen not as a beverage to drink socially but a beverage to make us feel good. Americans—and, not to be stereo­ typical, but especially young Americans—rarely have a drink, one drink, just for the sheer enjoyment of having a drink. When many Americans drink, they drink several beers, glasses of wine or shots of liquor—enough to make them feel at least a little woozy and disoriented. Being woozy and disoriented from drinking is what causes problems, not drinking itself. People rarely get in trouble due to alcohol after only having one or two drinks. People usually don't get sick from drinking after only a couple of drinks, either. I am very much of the opinion that what people do is their own business as long as it doesn't hurt anybody else, but I fail to see the poinrof getting intoxicated every Friday and Saturday night (and sometimes Thursday nights, too) to such a point that die victim of intoxication spends all day S aturday and Sunday down on his or her hands and knees worshipping the great porcelain god. Is whatever enjoyment that getting drunk brings worth the suffering afterwards? Of course there is another side to this which says that drinking, even one drop, is evil. This is the side that brought usprohibition in the '20s, which if anyoneremem­ bers from history books was such a failure that it was almost a joke. The part that wasn't funny was that people died from drinking homemade moonshine. Prohibition was brought to us by wives like Carrie Nation who were tired of their husbands coming home drunk and being* violent. It lasted about 10 years, then drinking was made 3 legal again due to the fact that it was always there anyway, just illegally and very dangerously. Drinking, in and of itself, has no evil connotations. Yes, j there is a Bible verse that says something about notj partaking of intoxicating substances. However, if drink- > ing were a sin, would Jesus have changed the water to ( wine at the wedding in Cana? Ideally, the drinking age should be lowered or even ( eliminated. Ideally, everyone should have the right to ;• enjoy his or her favorite alcoholic beverage without hav- > ing to worry about sending someone else to the store to -J buy it. However, the country felt it was necessary to raise 3 the drinking age in order to eliminate the tragic effects of 3 a few people's irresponsible drinking activities.

Anyway, we both go to the bar and have a couple of drinks, sometimes paid for by people like you (of the male gender). Then we experience our female bonding.

It seemsyou can always find a group of men drinking and playing cards or watching TV and having a great time together, but there is a dearth of comparable gatherings of women. workable, theory: Women simply won't female bond with each other because they can't Male bonding works because men speak honestly to each other no matter who they offend or make fun of. They have inflated egos which are hard to crumble with insults, and they have a tolerance for people who don't dress or groom exactly like they do. Society teaches women to be catty from the time they are bom. Now, I won't say that all women or e f all men act the same way, but I still draw from my own experience. I attend social functions regularly, and I usually travel in a group of mixed gender. Throughout the engagement, someone is constantly whis: pering in my ear: "her dress is too short," or, "Those are atrocious earrings," or "If I could fix her hair, it would look a lot better," etc. The person doing the whis­ pering has never been a male, and the derogatory comments are always about other females. * I understand that all of us live in a society which currently teaches from our very inception that men should be bold and daring while women should be timid and secretive. Men are taught to become ' hearty and knowledgeable, while women: are taught to become secluded and depen­ dent. Women, if you are truly mature, it ii' time to put this kind of teaching behind you. Open your souls to the myriad of possible friends around you. Thanks to male bonding, I have a lot of friends I carv truly refer to as "buddies." Women seeni to have no equivalent in their friendship scheme. The time has come for this to; change. Women, you are missing out on a lot of fun with your own "buddies." Go meet them, go have a good time with therrv and enjoy yourself thoroughly. Most im­ portantly, when you bring up your daugh-; ters, remember to teach them to be as open-minded and tolerant of others ideas and attitudes as you teach her brothers.! You have been missing out, and it's time you found out what all of the fuss was' about. You don't have to be male to enjoy "friendship bonding."

Legends aids student efforts to recycle Manager explains recycling policies To the Editor Luckily, Eddie had stumbled upon a rare variety of deadly nightshade, the amicable Atropa belladonna congenialocus. (Later that same day, however, he blundered into some poison oak — a flat-out intolerant species.) I am writing in response to the article on the recycling efforts at Legends. We are appreciative of all efforts to educate the campus community on the need to be good stewards of our earth's precious limited resources.To that end, we wish to make the following points: l.The Department of Student Programs was the first agency on campus to begin recycling (in Legends and the Union). We began more than a year prior tothe univer­ sity-wide efforts without fanfare or publicity. We did it because it was right In those days students bagged therecyclables and periodically hauled them to the county recycling center. 2. Broken glass and trash continue to present an unmanageable obstacle to our total recycling efforts. This may now be­ gin to change with increased awareness and sensitivity on the part of the Appala­ chian student body. 3. If it has appeared that we have been remiss in our duties on occasions, this was due to the cans or bottles on the tables not being empty. These we must dispose of, as the recycling center will only accept empty containers. A renewed effort will be encouraged the achieve a total recy­ cling effort including the separation of clear and colored glass but it will only succeed if the students attending assist us by emptying their containers before disposing. A container with the added weight •Hi \ HI i of"half-full" containers of liquid will not ' be accepted by the recycling plant. 4.

This increased capacity is necessary to meet the variousconference andprogramming needs for the University, said Dave Robertson, director of student programs. With some exceptions, the entire sec­ ond floor of the student union will be closed: the Game Room, the Sign Shop, 0fthe the Forum Room, the Skylight Lounge, Peer Career,room 211 and the Meditation Room. The Gold Room will be open fulltime and the bowling alley w ill open occa­ sionally. A. P. P.S. offices andS tudent Pro­ grams will be moved to the Mini-Mall of the first floor. The tentative schedule allows Work­ man Hall Offices and Outdoor Programs to move into the renovated second floor from May through June. In the summer and fall of 1992, work will begin on the new union addition. The first floor of the original student union will be renovated after the addition is completed and occu­ pied. Organizations and clubs will be mostly affected by the renovations, since several meeting rooms will be closed, said Robertson. After the project is completed, he said, there will be plenty of room for group meetings, but during the transition, groups will have to cooperate and share the available space."Consequently, this will leave the campus with only two small conference rooms (rooms 110 and 112) and the Plemmons Student Union Pub as multi-purpose meeting and pro­ gramming spaces until after the comple­ tion of the new addition,"said Robertson. The office of student programs is trying to compensate for the loss of space by open­ ing Legends to groups on campus, said Robertson. Legends will beopened evenings Mon­ day through Wednesday to accommodate programs, meetings and special events. Many guidelines for the use of Legends exist. Large space is available for groups of 75 or more with a two-hour lime limit. Two small meeting rooms are available for up to 18 people with an hour and onehalf time limit. An organization may schedule three functions a year on Thurs­ day or Friday evening. Plemmons Student Union Pub will also provide meeting space if certain guide­ lines are followed. Eachorganization may occupy The Pub three times a semester on Sunday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Regular meetings can be scheduled Monday through Wednesday from 5 to 10 p.m. Each organization may reserve The Pub one time on Friday or Saturday evening subject to availability. Club and organization leaders and ad­ visors must reserve Legends and The Pub for their Spring semester meetings. Res­ ervations can be made in room 101 of the student union. The renovations and closings may seem unfair to many students.Students are won­ dering why now? Robertson said, "We regret the pending inconvenience, but we are excited about the overall enhance­ ment to this most valuable University resource." Even though construction is supposed to begin in January 1992, students must remember that this date is tentative. Progress has been slowed.Associate Vice Chancellor of Student Development Bob Fide said, "I don't know exactly when they're going to pull the plug and begin actual construction." Appalachian Stale University and the architects are still plan­ ning the construction, and papers are still unsigned. Until the paperwork is com­ pleted, the construction crew cannot be­ gin to swing the wrecking ball, said Fide. Book rentals help some students By TRACY WILLI ARD Assistant News Editor One thing students can count on at the beginning of a semester at Appalachian Slate is lines. Lines in the drop/add pro­ cess at I.G. Greer, lines in the paperback section of the bookstore and definitely lines in the rental department of the book­ store. Lines in the bookstore were particu­ larly bad this year, according to John George, the University Bookstore's text­ book manager. This year the lines were bad because ollhe scheduling of the spring semester," Mid George. "Classes started on Monday, and no one came back the week before, which meant that large numbers of stu­ dents came to the bookstore on Monday." George hires groups of students to work in the bookstore to help with the rush of Undents, but that doesn't solve everyling. "You just cannot serve 11,000 students inoneday,"said George. "The bookstore was so crowded that two women fainted. Ithink the reason they fainted is that they were probably overheated." ASU has been using a book rental sysitm for almost 50 years, according to George. "The rental system started here in the 40s, and it has just stayed this way," said George. "If faculty members choose to use the books that are in the bookstore, it is really a good system for the students." ASU charges students a fee of $48 per semester to rent books. According to George, students benefit from the rental system because some of the books are so expensive. "For example, one Calculus book we have would cost students around $70 in­ cluding tax if they had to buy it," said George. Jeni Powers, an ASU senior, said she feels that the book rental system does benefit students. "Compared to the university I trans­ ferred from, the book rental system at ASU is better," said Powers."I spent a lot more money at the other university on buying all my books than I do by paying the book rental fee here." Powers said that she may rent fewer books from the bookstore now than she did when she was still taking general college courses, but she said she still feels like she benefits from the rental system. Shannon McGinnis, an ASU junior, said she feels that the ASU rental system hurts some students more than it helps them, including her. "I'm an English major and at the most, I rent one book per semester, yet I still have to pay the full rental price in addition to the $200 worth of paperbacks that have to be bought," said McGinnis. George said the bookstore carries a comparable amount of books for 3000 and 4000 level classes as it does for gen­ eral college classes. "The only difference is that we carry larger amounts of books for general col­ lege classes, like history, than we do for 3000 and 4000 level classes," said George. George said that he is getting many calls from other schools who want infor­ mation on the book rental system. Appa­ lachian is one of four schools in the state that has a rental system, said George. One reason large universities don't have book rental systems is because they are too big, according to George. "A book rental system won't work at universities like Carolina because they are too big," said George. "There is no way to get all the faculty to agree on which books to order." George said that one problem with the book rental system is that sometimes they run out of books, and students have to wait until more books arrive. According to George, this happens when additional sections of courses are added and more students end up taking a course than was anticipated. Another way a shortage of books occurs is when stu­ dents who rented books the previous se­ mester don't return them on time so they can be reissued.

Several contributing factors caused longer lines and extra wailing times for students, according to John George, textbook manager at the University Bookstore. ASU has the right to subtract fees from students' paychecks % DAWN MCGUIRE Appalachian Staff Writer Some Appalachian student employees have been surprised when they re­ ceived their final paycheck for the semesmy ler' Some students got less than they ex­ pected. Through a state policy, the university csn deduct any unpaid fees from any emPoyee that works for the state. This in­ cludes students who hold on-campus jobs. Any fees that a student owes the school 0,11 he subtracted from their check. This includes lab fees, library fees and parking tickets. A student can also be charged for P.E. equipment not returned, any unpaid tuition or fees. ASU routinely gives students amonth's warning before any fees are subtracted from their checks. But when the end of a semester approaches, a warning may not come. "The warning is a courtesy. There are times, however, when a warning is not possible, especially at the end of a semes­ ter. We want to make sure that any stu­ dents who may not be returning next se­ mester pay all their fees," said Thomas Wright, who works in theASU controller's office. A student also might not receive warn­ ing if the fees are acquired close to theend of a semester simply because there is not enough time, added Wright. Some students question the charges because they feel that many of the fees are normally paid for by their parents. "My parents pay for most of my fees, such as lab fees. The money I make from my campus job is supp»sed to be used for my personal spending money,"said ASU junior Kerry Rutherford. "It's kind of Special children enjoy skiing upsetting when I don't get as much as I had expected." Wright answers these complaints by pointing to the Buckley Amendment. Also known as the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, the Buckley Amendment requires universities to work directly with the students. "Although we may mail materia] to the home address, it is always addressed to the student. The fees are taken out of student checks because we arerequired to deal with the students," said Wright. Some students may request that certain fees be taken out of their checks on a L OLYMPICS HELD AT APPALACHIAN SKI MOUNTAIN: The Southeast Regional Special Winter racing event was recently held at Appalachian Ski Mountain.

In order to receive a deferment stu­ dents must present proof to financial aid that they hold an on-campus job. This requires written documentation. Although most students defer fees on the basis of need, this is not always the case. "Most times when fees are deferred, it is to someone who is receiving needbased aid, but there are exceptions. It is possible for someone who is not receiving aid to work out x deferment," said Weaver. Head librarian killed in accident Library workers plan memorial service for Richard Barker Belk Library employees like Darlene Scott have remained in shock since the death of University head librarian Rich­ ard Barker Dec. 16, which followed a Dec. 4 head-on three car collision on U.S. 421 East, three miles east of Wilkesboro. "It's been a terrible loss to me, the biggest personal loss I've ever suffered in my life," said teary eyed Darlene Scott, Barker's secretary of 20 years. "We've had people come in from all over campus, from the people who change the light bulbs to the people at the top to express their loss. His door was always open," Scott said. Appalachian State University students, however, may have suffered the greatest loss, Scott said. shifting the responsibility to other librar­ ians," Scott said.

If granted, this enables a student to have a set amount of money deducted from their paycheck in order to pay for fees. Usually students will ask for a defer­ ment if they are unable to pay for all of their tuition and fees by the registration date. "It is essentially a chance to pay part of one's tuition and fees after the registration date. I must stress that the whole process is a matter of working with a financial aid counselor," said Wes Weaver, assistant Boone when, according to the N.C.

Kennedy on K°y. 22,1963, in Dallas. Whether you believe there was a con­ vey behind the Kennedy assassination Jnot, the film makes you think. Even if do believe there was a conspiracy. you vou mayi not believe it was as involved jk) widespread as "JFK" indicates. I Costner's character, New Orleans dis­ pel attorney Jim Garrison, reveals a large poup of people and agencies supposedly jjjociated with the assassination plot, in­ cluding Fidel Castro, the FBI and the Dallas police department. The evidence Garrison gives on his side makes his alle­ gations hard todispute. The WarrenCom­ mission, the government agency investi­ gating the Kennedy assassination, stated that Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, fired three shots with a semi-automatic weapon in less than six seconds from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository building.The film depicts three investigators for G arrison prov ing notonly that it was impossible for Oswald to fire three shots in less than six seconds with that particular weapon, but also that even with a telescopeon therifle, Oswald could not have seen well enough from the sixth floor of the book depository to hit Kennedy twice. The Warren Commission also presents a photograph of Oswald holding the gun used to kill Kennedy as evidence that he was the assassin. However, Garrison also refutes this evidence by pointing out that the angle of the sun on the ground in the picture indicates thatit was3 p.m., whereas the angle of the sun on Oswald's face indicates that it was noon. Therefore, someone must have put Oswald's face onto someone else's picture. It is difficult, especially for the average person, to refute these arguments in favor of a conspiracy. However, after awhile. Garrison's "evidence" starts to look ques­ tionable and even a little ridiculous. For example, he brings the Dallas police de­ partment into the conspiracy by saying that it turned around the testimonies of two witnesses. The film depicts one woman saying that she was stopped at a stoplight on Elm Street in Dallas, where Hot bands converge on Boone only heard three shots, because only three were fired," and recorded her testimony accordingly. This was to alleviate any suspicion that shots were fired from the grassy knoll, ahead of Kennedy's motor­ cade, as well as from the depository, be­ hind it. Perhaps the most interesting and defi­ nitely the most questionable part of the film is the scene in which Costner stands on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and is approached by a man played by Donald Sutherland who introduces himself as a former FBI employee. The man stales that he doesn't want his identity revealed—he will give information but only under the name "Mr. X.""Mr. X" says that he held a somewhat superior position in the FBI during the time of Kennedy's assassina­ tion. He was supposed to make prepara­ tions for the president's safety in Dallas, and knowing that Kennedy was entering hostile territory, "Mr. X" was prepared to be extra cautious. However, a week be­ fore the president was scheduled to leave, "Mr. X" is sent on some unimportant mission a long way from either Washing­ ton or Dallas, and someone else would be in charge of the president's safety on his trip. "I didn't understand," was "Mr. X"*s comment. Someone in a lower position in the FBI could have, and would have, been sent on that trip. According to "Mr. X," adequate pro­ tection for the president was not provided in Dallas. Had the FBI done its job, no window in any building along the motor­ cade route would have been allowed to be See "JFK" page 6 Harlem Boys Choir visits ASU By LORRIE GANTT Appalachian Staff Writer By WILLIAM PURCELL Appalachian Diversions Editor This weekend features two of Boone's most popular bands performing for the Bond time this academic year.

She identified the man as Jack Ruby, who shot Oswald two days after the Kennedy assassination. Accord­ ing to those who believe in the conspiracy theory. Ruby, a nightclub owner in Dal­ las, was part of the conspiracy and shot Oswald to keep him from talking. Ac­ cording to the film, the Dallas police de­ partment told the woman, "No, that is not the man you saw," and recorded her testi­ mony as such, although she had clearly stated that Jack Ruby was the man in the truck.

One fearless boy, Billy (Loren Dean) from Bathgate Avenue, has the thousand-toone shot to make something of himself. Street-wise, and armed with sharp,cun­ ning instincts,B illy isconvinced that join­ ing mobster Dutch Schultz's (Dustin Hoffman) gang is his passport to the good life. Resolved to be recognized and ac­ cepted by the racketeer, he starts out as a flunky for the crime ring and finds himself surrounded by ruthless mobsters, includ­ ing the glamorous Bo Weinberg (Bruce Willis) and numbers wizard Otto Bcrman (Steven Hill). A quick study, the lad catches on to what it takes to succeed, and soon, under the watchful eye of Schultz, Billy gradu­ ates from lackey to trusted confidant. But life in the underworld is filled with mistrust and suspicion, and as Dutch's power and control wane, Billy must rely on everything he's learned from his men­ tor to save his own skin and carve a personal niche in the rackets, in Touch­ stone Pictures' new drama, "Billy Bathgate." Nicole Kidman also stars. "Billy Bathgate" is directed by Acad­ emy Award-winner Robert Benton ("Kramer vs. Kramer") from a screenplay by Pulitzer Prize-winner Tom Stoppard, based upon the book by E.L. Doctorow. Two-time Academy Award-winner Dustin Hoffman was born in Los Angeles and attended Santa Monica City College. He studied acting at the Pasadena Play­ house before moving to New York where he trained with Lee Strasberg. Director Mike Nichols cast Hoffman in the title role in "The Graduate." His portrayal of young Benjamin Braddock, the symbol of a generation, earned an Oscar for Nichols and brought Hoffman his first Academy Award nomination as best actor. He re­ turned to Broadway to star in "Jimmie Shine," by Murray Schisgal, and then costarred with Jon Voight in John Schlesinger's Academy Award-winning "Midnight Cowboy." Hoffman received his second Oscar nomination for his per­ formance in that film. He won his first Oscar as best actor for director Robert Benton's "Kramer vs. Kramer" (1979) and received his fifth nomination for Sydney Pollack's "Tootsie." Hoffman received his second Oscar portraying an autisticsavant in Barry Levinson's "Rain Man." In 1989 Hoffman started with Sean Connery and Matthew Broderick in TriStar's "Family Business" and in 1990 he portrayed mobster Mumbles in Touch­ stone Pictures' "Dick Tracy." He also stars in Steven Spielberg's "Hook." Australian actress Nicole Kidman (Drew Preston) was born in Hawaii and began when she was 10. A student at St. Martin's Youth Theater in Melbourne, she studied voice and theater history. Best known to American audiences for her starring role in "Dead Calm," Kidman appeared last year in "Days of Thunder" and has been seen in the Disney Channel mini-series "Five Mile Creek." Kidman is married to Tom Cruise, her "Days of Thunder" co-star. Despite its flashy elegance, this gang­ ster saga about the decline of notorious Depression-era thug Dutch Schultz comes off as hollow and unmoving. Faithfully adapted from E.L. Doctorow's popular novel, the events are told through the experiences of the teen-age title charac­ ter, an eager mob gofer played with some strain by Loren Dean. Dustin Hoffman gives a sturdy portrayal as the vicious Schultz and Steven Hill stands out as the resolute bookkeeper. Courtly el Myteo Aronewltz BILLY BATHGATE: Dustin Hoffman stars as mobster Dutch Schultz in "Billy Bathgate." Loren Dean plays leading lady Nicole Kidman as she manipulates the men in her life, Schultz and Billy. �a JFK Appalachian State University" Students, Faculty & Staff 55 tiecoureelinQ cenfercanhelD' K jntinued from page 5 raised, and the first time a window was • raised, secret servicemen wouldhave fired •' •.Shots at the window. The president would •not have been allowed to ride in the car I wj^hout the bulletproof bubble on top. More secret servicemen would have been • itit to Dallas with the president. Accord­ ing to "Mr. X,"this lack of consideration Jfer the president's safety was the FBI's , pyt in the conspiracy. •> *Jim Garrison was, in reality, a district attorney in New Orleans and the only jjJrson to prosecute anyone for Kennedy's , assassination. The person he prosecuted w£s Clay Shaw, a New Orleans citizen w{io allegedly operated in the conspiracy ynder the name of Clay Bertrand. One of if* final scenes of the movie shows Shaw's trial, in which Garrison refutes the theory » e( the "magic bullet," the bullet that went tJ/augh Kennedy's neck then turned a Jew somersaults in order to go through T*xas Governor John Connally's wrist arid leg. This "magic bullet" theory, ac­ cording to Garrison, is the basis of the Warren Commission's testimony. Also included in "JFK" is footage of Abraham Zapruder's home movie of Kennedy's assassination as well as gro­ tesque footage of the autopsy. It was hard to tell if this particular footage was real or fake. Small details of Oswald's life, his short record as a Marine, his stay in Russia and his lack of difficulty in re-entering the United States with his Russian wife were included as evidence of his part in the conspiracy. However, the film has us be­ lieve that Oswald was framed by other conspirators and in reality fired no shotsat anyone. (When he was arrested within a couple of hours of the assassination at a Dallas movie theater,he said intoreporter's microphones, "I didn't kill nobody.") Garrison's home life is detailed in sev­ eral scenes in the film. His wife, played by Sissy Spacek, demands that he spend more time with her and the five children and less time working on the Kennedy assas­ sination. She first gets irritated with him after he chooses Easter Sunday to inter­ view Clay Shaw, then finally threatens to leave him. She supports Garrison in the end, appearing with their oldest son to watch Garrison prosecute Clay Shaw. Whether or not you believe there was a conspiracy behind the Kennedy assassi­ nation or not, the three-and-a-half hour long film "JFK" with Costner's astound­ ing performance in the leading role gives you plenty of details to consider and either believe or try to refute. "JFK" is a film well worth seeing. Give A Hoot! Pon't Pollute!

The men traveled to the Marriott Invitational held on the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg, Va., while the Lady Mountaineers competed in the Naval Academy Invitational in Annapo­ lis, Md. Women ASU took second place, finishing be­ hind George Mason University, in the nine-team meet at the Naval Academy. Junior Melissa Morrison turned in the best of several impressive individual per­ formances by the Lady Apps. With a time of 8.07 in the 55-meter hurdles, Morrison took first place in the event and broke her own school record in the process.Morrison also took third place in the long jump with a jump of 18 '7.5", the fifth-best jump in Appalachian history. Lynette Gardin and Leigh Wallace were the other first-place finishers for ASU. Gardin took top honors in the 400-meter with a time of 59.49, while Wallace won the 5,000-meter run with a timeof 17:38.6. "I t was exciting tosee Melissa Morrison start out so strong in the hurdles and Leigh Wallace in the 5000-meter," Appalachian Head Coach John Weaver said. "Both these ladies are setting themselves up for possible NCAA qualifying marks later on in the season." Sabrina Hill and Alicia Foust, along with Morrison, were the only Lady Moun­ taineers to place in the top three of two different events. Hill took second in the high jump and third place in the triple jump, while Foust finished third in both the 55-meter dash end the 200-meter dash. "We feel this meet was a good start to, hopefully, another outstanding season," Weaver commented. "There are many areas in which we need improvement, but the effort and enthusiasm is there." The Lady Mountaineers will be back in action tomorrow in Johnson City, Term, in the USAir Invitational, hosted by East Tennessee State University. Men The men's squad competed against more than 30 teams in the Marriott Invita­ tional on January 17. Head Coach A1 Fereshetian enjoyed strong individual performances from several athletes, in­ cluding one first place finish. Eric Roberts took first in the 35-pound weight throw with a toss of 52'4.75". Jon Fullen finished second in the high jump at 6*10.75", and Lenell took fifth place in the triple jump with a leap of 46'4". "I thought it was a good opening meet for us," Fereshetian said. "I thought we had a good all-around showing." Freshman Jason Dal ton, in his first ever competition, advanced to the semifinals of the 55-meter dash with a time of 6.47. Fellow freshman Lee Watts also turned in a good showing in the 55-meter dash with a time of 6.59. Dustin Alfred turned in a personal-best time in the one-mile run at 4.26, and Kedrick Ford ran a 7.83 in the 55-meter hurdles, the best time in the Southern Conference this season. Appalachian State is the frontrunner for the Southern Conference champion­ ship this season, and Fereshetian feels the performance last weekend was a sign of things to come. "We're certainly in a position that I feel we can control what happens to us," Fereshetian said. "We have to guard against complacency and keep ourselves together mentally. "I feel we probably have the deepest team (in the Southern Conference) this year, and we feel we might be able to score in every event at the conference meet. That is one of our goals—to score in every event at the conference meet."

ASU led 38-36 at the half and played well for most of the game, before a late rush by the Paladins sparked them to the victory. Ross paced five App double-figure scor­ ers with 18 points.

The Apps con­ By SHANNON MCGINN1S Appalachian Staff Writer The ASU Lady Mountaineer volley­ ball team received a bid to the National Invitational Volleyball Champion­ ship where they competed on Dec. 5-7. The Mountaineers were the first South­ ern Conference team to ever receive a bid for the tournament. ASU played William and Mary, Northern Illinois, Villanova and Santa Clara in a round robin pool, but were defeated in all four matches. Santa Clara won the pool and advanced to the semifinals. The Kentucky Wildcats won the entire tournament. ASU Head Coach Traci McGee be­ lieved that the year was a success despite the losses at the NIVC. She said that she was very pleased they could go to the tournament and represent the Southern Conference. She also believed that a lot of their losses at the tournament were due to lack of experience. "In two of the matches I felt like we had the ability to win," McGee commented, "but with this being the first time (the team has ever been to the NIVC), they had more to work through." McGee, who served as the chairperson of the Southern Conference Volleyball Committee, is credited for the opportu­ nity that the Mountaineers received to attend the NIVC. "I did a lot of lobbying to get to the NIVC," McGee said. The board of direc­ tors and the selection committee of the NIVC decide who receives a bid. The bid for the conference is decided at the con­ vention each year. After two and a half years of working to get a bid, Appalachian received an automatic bid for winning the tournament. McGee summed up the season's progress with one word, "challenging." The team had a very competitive sched­ ule, but they went into it with an "aggres­ sive attitude," according to McGee. Ap­ palachian was seeded second in the con­ ference butclaimed the tournamentcham­ pionship. "They had bad times and good times," McGee commented, "After a season like we had. it (the bid to the NIVC) was the one last thing to inspire the team. "It's rewarding to look back on the season," she added. McGee continued to comment that with the talent on the upcoming 1992 team, the team will be even better than this year's. She also believed that if the ASU team ever is presented with the opportunity tc attend the NIVC again, they will do much better because they will be a more experienced team. McGee has already begun to prepai for the upcoming. That team will have si returning seniors: Holley Shamburge Rachael Wade, Kim Nelson, Joann Myers, Carla Andrews and Sandra Lovi "These particular players will have lot to prove," McGee said. McGee also commented on the talet of the lowerclassmen, including the uj coming freshman recruits. "The underclassmen and the freshms recruits are highly skilled and very mot vated, and looking forward to the 19S season," commented McGee. I think the program is going to grow McGee continued, "The volleyball tea is something to keep your eve on." �1IL The Appalachian. Thursday.

The reason for this is that too many other issues are tied to the abortion issue, none of which have easy answers. The pro-life group believes life begins at conception, questions the moral issue of an unwanted or inconvenient pregnancy and believes abortion produces negative psychological effects on a woman. The prochoice groupaddresses theissues of children being brought up by mothers who didn't want them or can't take care of them, the dangers of a teenager having a baby, and the woman's right to decide whether or not she can or should have a child at any given time.

You pass the pens, the pencils, the notebooks and the Band-Aids. You turn and climb higher, reaching the sweatshirts, T-shirts and gym shorts. You climb even higher, finally reaching your destination: the top floorof the ASU bookstore, which houses the rental textbooks. However, you [ail to see any textbooks as you enter. All you see are students, clustered together in massive clumps called lines. It seems that all 11,367 students have come to pick up their books at once. And it seems 11,000 of those students have last names that begin with the same letters as yours. So you wait in line, wondering if you are going to get your books before your next class, which begins in less than an hour. You know you won't make it but you wait, with hope, or with disgust. Nearly every Appalachian student has encountered such a day at the bookstore recently; and some have encountered such an occurance more than once, being forced to return after attending class. So, can any of the hassle associated with picking up rental texts be deviated? Can the stressfulnessof the situation be eliminated? Can anything be done to reduce the lines and lessen the tdhfilsidri difd'tdifgeistibn? The Appalachian feels simple steps can be taken by both bookstore personnel and students to decrease the number of problems. One step should require students to attend all classes before going to the bookstore for rental texts. Thus, professors can tell students exactly which books they will need for a particular class. This will eliminate those retumtrips to the rental section. Often, when a student reaches the front of the line, heor she will hear, "Have you attended class yet?" If the answer is"no" then Ik student will be forced to do so to find out which books he or she needs. If ikstudent went to class first, then this problem could be eliminated. Students would only make one trip to the bookstore, and would only join (and aid in causing) the confusion once. Returning textbooks and picking upnew ones should be a two-part process, lithe spring, this process is jammed into one. This year students were given mil Jan. 17 to return their fall rental textbooks. Many students opted to return fall books while picking up spring texts. This causes more confusion and a longer wait for those in line. If the fall books had been returned in the fall, then time would be saved by all in the spring. As the system stands, a great deal of patience is required by all. The top floor is hot and crowded at the start of each semester. The two simple such as "When someone tells you abortion is just a matter between a woman and her doctor, they're forgetting somebody ;"or "If he is not alive, then why is he growing? If he is not a child, then why is he sucking his thumb? If he is human, then why is it legal to kill him?" Pro-choice propaganda also uses the method of trying to get us very emotional. This time our emotions "are directed toward the pregnant woman (or, oftentimes, the pregnant girl) who cannot or should not have a baby. One advertisement shows a girl, maybe 12 or 13 years old, sitting in a desk in a classroom. The picture is taken from overhead and the girl is looking up at the camera. 7Ite caption reads, "Do I look like a mother to you?" „- , Another advertisementrelales to parental-consent laws. The Planned Parenthood advertisement tries to convince the reader that minors should not have to have tlieir parents' consent before having an abortion. A woman is holding a picture of her teenaged daughter. The caption' reads, "Now, our daughter will never be able to talk to us about anything that's bothering her. Never." The stojy behind this was that a 17-year-old girl got pregnant in a state that has parental-consent laws and was afraid to'tell her parents. She had an illegal abortion and died. No easy answers are available to any of these questions. And so the war continues and continues brutally. Both factions have a nasty habit of using very interesting propaganda to win over us moderates who prefer not to take a radical, close-minded, unyielding stand on any­ thing. One type of pro-life propaganda has been wellpublicized over the years—picketing abortion clinics. Pro-lifers have been arrested for doing this. That's what the news tells us. What it doesn't tell us is the emotional impacts that picketers who scream "Baby killer!" and other such things have on women who are trying to get Abortion is a very complicated and certainly vtiry around the picketers and enter the clinic, not even neces­ sarily to have an abortion, but maybe just to get informa­ emotional issue.

I doubt this type of propaganda ever won anybody have taken their stands and are warring against each other; wholeheartedly, using propaganda that emphasizes how' over to the pro-life side. The brochures and advertisements of both factions emotional the issue is. Whether or not to support abortion intend to play on our emotions. In all reality this is is a decision the individual must make for him or hersejf. probably a very effective type of propaganda for either Contrary to what both sides seem to think, the abortior| side. But the extremes to which the brochures and ads go issue has no simple answers. Everyone who forms art to get us emotional are ridiculous. One pro-life brochure opinion on it should understand how complicated it is and not be swayed by card-stacking propaganda that gives an showed an enlarged picture of an aborted five-month-old fetus.

By TRACY TARLETON Appalachian Commentary Editor This past Sunday, Jan. 19, was observed in some churches as Sanctity of Life Sunday. On this day, which is observed once a year beginning just a couple of years ago, pro-lifeorganizations rally together to preach against abortion. Some pro-life groups take the opportunity on Sanctity of Life Sunday to go around to various churches, give talks (often as part of or replacing the sermon) and pass out brochures encouraging people not to support abortion. Pro-life and pro-choice factions have been at each other's throats since before Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court case which legalized abortion, was passed in 1973. Membership in organizations such as the Christian Action Council on the pro-life side and the National Abortion Rights Action League on the pro-choice side has grown in numbers. Both factions have marched on Washington a number of limes. And it seems that every year, the fight gets uglier. The different factions even have different names for themselves and their enemies in the abortion war. The pro-life faction calls itself "pro-life" and its opponents "anti-life." The pro-choice faction uses the names "pro-choice" and "anti-choice." Traditional students left without hope Children ofy80s reach adulthood with a disappointed view of the world t By KELLI MCHARGE Appalachian Staff Writer Most traditional students at ASU are the '80s generation. Elementary, junior high and high school occurred for those of us traditional students under the presi­ dency of the "Great Communicator." But truthfully, fellow members of that era, I think we got cheated. We got cheated out of hope. From the time I was nine until I was 17, Ronald Reagan was president. I listened to a kindly grandfather figure tell how the "evil empire" was coming to get us. But, we could trust Grandpa Ronnie. He would protect us. Well, guess what? Grandpa lied. We have found that Ronnie lied to us. We had trusted and believed in him. The disillusionment has affected us. We have • . . rifvtW-L.v • tShfSPKW r* Igia II" I f been cheated out of the hope that our Soviets were not as bad as the dangers of having sex. Now, what is supposed to be government would not lie to us. Grandpa Ronnie had to save us from the greatest act humans know, can kill Qaddafi. George protected us from you. And it will be a slow, agonizing Saddam. But, the United States is respon­ death. Have we not lost hope when sex sible for putting both Qaddafi and Saddam becomes an act of suicide instead of an act in power. Same goes for Noriega. We of love? Most of us realize that when we leave have been cheated out of the hope that our government is not creating our future en­ here, finding a job is not going to be easy. We can no longer hope for the dream of emies. I remember the '80s well. I remember four years of college then a good job. Now when the only illegal drugs I saw were on we have to accept the fact that those years Miami Vice. Now, I don't just see it in of college are not very likely to put us on high school and in college. I hear that you the career ladder. I remember when you can get the stuff in elementary and junior went to college so you could get a good high school. Can we no longer hope that job. Sorry, that hope is gone, too. Bush's recent trip to Japan has made our fifth graders aren't getting high on the clear the perils of the economy. This is playground? You know what's really sad?

Procedures mentioned above will not completely eliminate the lines or alleviate all the headaches; however, they are simple steps that everyone tan take. These suggestions do not solve the major problem, but they may tdoce some stress and strain. Student complains of violence at concert^ Occasionally, The Connells would travel to the town of Boone. Many, many people would come to see them. They were all very happy to do so. They would scream and dance and crowd as close to the stage as they could. Sometimes, the people would become so excited, that they would get out of control and smash into each other. Some people, especially the smaller ones, would get knocked around and stepped cn. Fortunately though, ev­ eryone there was so friendly and in such a happy mood that they helped each other. They would pick each other up if they fell and protect the smaller people if they were in danger. In the end, almost everyone at Connells' concerts had a good time. Hitting, shoving frequent at Legends To the Editor: op-ih ^ »»*. * IT* 1 ^ Once upon a time, there was a group of minstrels known as The Connells. They were very good minstrels and traveled all over the world playing their music. Many people loved them. They were very mys­ tical, and nobody was quite sure what the messages of their songs were, but their music was so happy and energetic that people loved them anyway. At about this same time, there was another group of minstrels. They were known as Drivin' n' Cry in'. They were also very good minstrels, and many people loved them, too. In fact, a great many of the peple who loved The Connells also loved Drivin' n' Cryin'. This was interest­ ing, because the two bands were rather different. Drivin' n' Cryin' played music that was much louder and harsher and, believe it or not, even more energetic than The Connells' music. However, one of the reasons that fans of The Connells also liked Drivin' n' Cryin' was because of the words. Unlike The Connells, you could understand what Drivin' n' Cryin' was talking about. The band members were talking about peace and brotherhood, honor and justice. They wTOte serious songs about serious issues, and people loved them. Occasionally, Drivin' n' Cryin' would also come to the town of Boone, And, once again, many, many people would come to see them. Strangely, though, it was a very different atmosphere. The at­ mosphere at Drivin' n' Cryin' shows was angry and violent. People would try and get as close to the stage as they could, just like at Connells' shows, but now they would curse and shove people. They would knock down the smaller people and hit and kick anybody who got in their way. Not everybody at the Drivin' n' Cryin' concerts was like this. The people who also loved The Connells weren't. The people who loved Drivin' n' Cryin' for their messages of peace and brotherhood weren't. These people were very con­ fused and upset about the whole thing. They had wanted to come to the show and scream and dance and crowd as close to the stage as they could, but instead they were beaten up and abused by violent, unintelligent people. It seems a strange thing to them that, on the stage, the min­ strels were singing about peace and broth­ erhood, honor and justice, and yet, in the crowd, people were beating each other up. A strange thing, indeed. There were other people besides the fans at these minstrel shows. There were also the people who organized the shows. They were always easy to recognize be­ cause they would wear shirts with "A.P.P.S. CONCERT STAFF' written on them. Not only did they organize these shows, but it was also their job to keep the violent, unintelligent people from beating up and abusing the people who came }£ hear the minstrels. Unfortunately, they were very bad<cg this. In fact, they often just sat on the stage watching the show while the people in tfie audience were beaten up. They talked very loudly about how they wouldn't to£ erate violence at their shows, but, in thg end, the violent, unintelligent people c£d whatever they pleased. So, what is the moral of thislittle story? There are two morals, I guess. The firsrig that, despite the fact that this is a univ«£ sity and westudents aresupposed to be tfte elite of our society, there are still an am^r> ing number of unsophisticated unintelligent Neanderthals among Neanderthals who haven't the first cl«g what Kevin Kenner is singing about an "Look What You've Done To Yojw Brother Lately."

When confronted with stress and de­ pression during the holidays, most stu­ dents are able to relieve their problems by talking to a friendor counselor. However, if the student becomes unable to handle the stress, they can become a suicide risk. If students are hopeless, helpless and hapless for a long period of time, suicide or an attempt is a possibility, according to Sanz.

Where now many of these facilities are located in buildings scattered across cam­ pus, the new building would contain all of the enrollment management facilities, cashiers operations, information center, alumni offices and residence life and residence facilities, according to Zimmerman. At the moment, plans do not include placing the chancellor, vice chancellor and any of their offices in the new build­ ing. These offices would remain in the current administration building, accord­ ing to Zimmerman. "It's thetype of place where if a student and parents had never been to Boone, and they were interested in the university, that would be the place they would go that would most likely have the information they would want to know about the cam­ pus," Zimmerman said. "I think it's about time they got every­ thing organized under one building be­ cause it makes itmore convenient and less time consuming for all those involved," said Kelli Getchell, an ASU sophomore. "This will make it more efficient because everything is right there." The advantage to the faculty and the whole university is a more efficient run­ ning university, Zimmerman said. When the Academic Support Building is submitted for approval, it will be com­ bined with two other proposed projects in the same category of the capital improve­ ments list of the university facilities plan, Zimmerman said.

One in every 500 students is infected with HIV virus, according to a study by One Appalachian student. Matt Smith, said he understands why people may get depressed during the holiday season. "In one sense, by being a release from anxiety, stress and pressure, the holidays can be a very vivid reminder of that desparity in the rest of the year. Holidays are times when we can evaluate the ex­ tremities and irrationality of life in a placid, rational setting, and depression is not an uncommon or unreasonable effect," said Smith. He continues,"But, holiday depression can be a summons for the increased per­ ception and understanding that most people simply recognize as holiday spirit." the Centers for Disease Control and the who admitted to a deep concern for the American College Health Association,and college-age population. there is worry among AIDS officials that 'Twenty percentof200,000 AIDScases risky sexual behavior will soon drive that are between ages 13 to 29, and we know figure upward. that for half, it takes 10 years for symp­ An estimated 1 million to 1.5 million toms to show up, so a number of them Americans are HIV positive.

The state evaluates the school's needs, receives political input and input from the university and then determines the priority of the buildings. "The project will go in at $9.5 million and is being requested for 100 percent state funding," Zimmerman said. Thebuilding willcover76,808 to 79,586 square feet. It will be located on Rivers Street approximately where Outdoor Programs is now. Outdoor Programs and the surrounding facilities will be relocated before the Academic Support Building is constructed, Zimmerman said. The university attempted to sell the university buildings along Rivers Street; however, they found the raw materials were worth more if they could be used for repairs on campus and sold separately. Zimmerman said he feels the state will accept the proposal in the next legislative session. "Most of the university's most severe space problems are in the operations that would ultimately be moved," Zimmerman said. "The university has not been given permission to request a new math and science building, however the administration is working on it internally," Zimmerman said. (CPS)—A federal judge has cleared the way for student journalists to report about crime on campuses nationwide, a ruling described as a major legal victory for college newspapers. U.S. District Judge Stanley Harris is­ sued a preliminary injunction Nov. 21 against the Department of Education, saying its interpretation of the Buckley Amendment violates the First Amend­ ment rights of student journalists. The federal judge barred the Depart­ ment of Education from withholding fed­ eral funds to schools that release campus crime reports. The injunction means that university officials can no longer rely on the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, commonly called the Buckley Amendment, to deny any student access to campus crime reports. The Buckley Amendment prohibits the release of any student educational records without prior consent of the student It was enacted in 1974. But the Department of Education later expanded its interpretation of that law to include the release of campus crime records, a decision that the federal judge said is wrong. "The right to receive information and ideas is an inherent corollary of the rights of free speech and press that are explicitly guaranteed by the Constitution," Harris wrote in his opinion. "I think this is a great victory for uni­ versity communities as well as the student press,"said Sam Cristy,editor of the Daily Beacon at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, oneof the students who joined the Student Press Law Center in the com­ plaint By granting the injunction, "Judge Har­ ris ruled that this case—making campus crime reports available to the public— was an emergency.... That sends a very strong message across the country that there is no uncertainty that campus crime records are not private records," Cristy said. Cristy said his main goal in joining the lawsuit was to obtain better access to information that should be public record. "We want to have good relations (with campus police), but they've really impeded us in doing our jobs effectively," he said, Mark Goodman, executive director of the SPLC, said the injunction against the Department of Education was temporary, depending on what action the department decides to take. Most likely, he said, the department will allow the injunction to continue until legislation pending in Congress is passed. "Hopefully, it will apply until Congress makes this unnecessary," Goodman said. Two versions of bills that would change the Buckley Amendment so that campus crime records can be released are scheduled to be considered by a House-Senate conference committee, The legislation is expected to pass soon, making the injunction moot and ending any discrepancy in interpretation of the Buckley Amendment, See COLLEGE page 2 �.The Appalachian.

App receives largest state allocatio11 ASU News Bureau Appalachian State University will re­ ceive $1,330,000 from the UNC system to renovate its theatre performance facility in Chapell Wilson Hall. The money, the largest single allocation from $12.3 million distributed to system camp­ uses for renovations and repairs, was ap­ proved by the General Assembly during its last legislative session and will be generated through a state bond sale. The renovation project was approved by the Board of Governors Nov. 8. Appalachian willuse themoney toreno­ vate a portion of Chapell Wilson Hall for theatre and dance departmentuse and will repair and renovate the auditorium to ac­ commodate dramatic and musical pro­ ductions. Appalachian first requested funding for the project in 1985. The facility was originally ahigh school gymnasium-auditorium built as a WPA project during the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration. College Continued from page 1 Until then, Goodman reminds student journalists that they should have no prob­ lems obtaining campus crime records as a result of the injunction. "We're telling student journalists to visit their campus police tomorrow and ask for the reports they're entitled to," Goodman said. "And if schools continue to deny those reports, we will help the student press take those schools to court." A spokesman for the Department of Education said the department's lawyers and the Justice Department were study­ ing the ruling to decide what action to take. Speaking on a condition of anonymity, the spokesman said the department would continue to work with Congress to get the legislation passed. "We've really worked hard over the years for funding this project," said Chan­ cellor John Thomas. "The drama depart­ ment has really developed over the last few years and has earned prime space on our campus. This renovation will permit our students to showcase their talents in an appropriate way," said Thomas. "We took several legislators through the facility and the condition of the building spoke for itself,"said ViceChan­ cellor for Business Affairs Dr. Ward Zimmerman.

"It's important to remember that the department and the students have the same goals," the spokesman said. Student journalists disagree with that as­ sessment in light of the department's ac­ tions this past year. "Before this (lawsuit) happened, we had a great relationship with the campus police and legal counsel, we had access to records," said Lyn Schrotberger, editorof the Rocky Mountain Collegian at Colo­ rado State University who filed withCristy and the SPLC. "Then the school got a letter from the Departmentof Education," saying the agency would withhold fund­ ing if the school continued torelease crime records. "Everything was OK until the federal government stepped in and messed every­ thing up," Schrotberger said. MEDICAL * LEGAL • EMOTIONAL HELP 1-800-634-2224 happy holidays from Give A Hoot!

On a scale of laziness, I would rate myself at about an eight. I would be a nine, but I don't wear a wits and work /' THE APPALACHIAN THURSDAY, Decembers, 1991 Guatemalan aggressions revealed By USA LAUGHLIN Appalachian Staff Writer How would it feel if you worked 16 hours a day, only to make $100 a month? For some women living in Guatemala, this is simply a way of life. On Nov. 25, Rodloph Robles of Guatemala City visited the Catholic Campus Ministry and spoke about the poor conditions of life in Guatemala. Robles has been a peace activist for the past 15 years. Hehas traveledextensively through Europe, Mexico and now the United States carrying his message of peace and the truth about life in Guate­ mala. Robles told his audience that tourism blinds visitors to the peasant lifestyle. Once you "get beyond the Hilton," you learn that out of nine million people living in Guatemala, 70 percent of who are indigenous, most also do not have the luxuries of electricity andrunning water. Most earn a living byfarming. Even with these dreadful living conditions, "the people are humble and good-willed. The government has taken this passivity as a tar­ get," commented Robles. For the past 500 years, Guatemalans have suf­ fered cultural and economic repression. The coun­ try has been under military rule since the late 1800s. This includes government sponsored vio­ lence. Robles said that Guatemalans want peace, but at present this is not possible due to social injustice, much needed land reform and inequities between theextremely rich and the extremely poor. Many governments have held control of Guate­ mala including the most recent government taking power in January of 1991. This domination gives little hope of a resolution. Even more disturbing is the fact that in the first six months of 1991,587 people were killed and 118 disappeared, Robles claimed. It is estimated that in just a little over a decade, more than 150,000 people have either disappeared or been murdered. More than one million have been displaced or exiled due to military supported violence, said Robles. Public massacres have been common since 1930, Robles said. The elite have been exploiting resources, espe­ cially land. The people of Guatemala want peace. Even if there is presently no fighting, it does not mean that Guatemalans are at peace. known. Luckily, this is no longer necessary. Yet even though Coca-Cola employees are better off, others are not as fortunate. The fight for peace continues. The movement for peace is expanding its pro­ gram this month. They are calling for a "revival of all native customs and habits to educate people and teach how to overcome fear and tenor." Hopefully this will put anend to the government propaganda that rages over Guatemalan television, newspapers and media. "If there is peace, and people still live in miser­ able conditions, what kindof peace would that be?" said Robles. The people want action. They are tired of prom­ ises from their government that are never carried out It is not uncommon for the government toorder executions, especially on the heads of unions and peace organizations, said Robles. Robles told of a personal experience he had with the government control. Employed by the CocaCola Bottling Company in Guatemala City, the company had declared bankruptcy with no expla­ nation. He and his co-workers protested by living inside the factory with their families for 13 months. He described working in the plant as being at a military base rather than a place of employment They were protesting against the corrupt heads of the company. Even outsiders got involved in their cause. By joining together, the Coca-Cola workers triumphed. Medical funds and funeral services have since been implemented. Atone time, stickers stating "Don'tdrink CokeIt's Guatemalan blood" were being put on Coke machines (mostly in Europe) to make their cause The Guatemalan government is trying to mask the truth about their people. They are known to murder, kidnap or exile anyone who tries to speak out for the betterment of their living conditions. During this holiday season, we Americans must realize how lucky we are not to live in a country where suchinjustices cannot be controlled. Eightyfive percent of Guatemalan land is controlled by American Companies. "Peace on Earth"will never be a reality as long as the American government continues to support the Guatemalan government asithas since 1954. The United States must discon­ tinue feeding this militaristic rule. Christmas sparks events bathrobe. I'm not talking about the bathrobes that high school students are wearing to school these days.

Silly me. Those of you who own bathrobes (we're assuming that people don't actually wear these things more than 50 ft outside of the house) should be ashamed of yourselves. Not the sexy bathrobes, if you can put those to use, then I congratulate you. I'm referring to the warm, snuggly terry cloth bathrobes. These pieces of undeniably comfortable fabrics invite one to lounge all day (preferably a dismal day) in front of a TV with a pack of Marlboro Lights, lighter, TV control, pot of :, pillow, telephone, a piece of paper andapen all within arm's reach. Not disobey­ ing one of the understood rules I abide by, "never remove yourself from a highly comfort­ able position if the object is within arm's reach or there is another heartbeat in the area that can fetch it for you if you ask really sweetly." "Come and watch this with me. Oh, and can you bring the TV control, please?" Why do I sound like I know what I'm talking about? Because I can just envision a fluid of those "nine" Americans not including myself, of course, owning a bathrobe and misusing it. I certainly couldn't be a "10" because I'm not Elvis and hiding out (and only making runs to pocery stores). If Elvis is in hiding, I'm sure he needs to be on the Oprah Winfrey diet plan.

Christopher Columbus retraced in new course By KATE HESS Appalachian Staff Writer Students registering for classes may have felt like the class selection looked rather dull and monotonous for spring semester. The English courses all looked familiar, as well as some of the history courses. Beginning in January, a new course will be offered that may alter students' and teachers' views of history. The course is about one of the most well-known explorers, Christopher Columbus, who is credited with discovering the North American continent in 1492. The course is 16 weeks long and is spon­ sored by Appalachian's history department. It will trace the history of Columbus, his voyages and the great impact of European contact with American Indians. "The Voyage of Columbus," will begin Jan. 14, 1992, and will meetTuesday nights from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. in room 223 of Whitener Hall. It is a three hour social science credit for students and a 4.5 hour renewal credit for teachers. The course is offered to students, teachers and members of Appalachian's Institute for Senior Scholars. Only one section is offered, so space is limited. Other people that show an interest in the course may attend lectures on a space-available basis. Lectures about Columbus's search of a new route to the Orient and his arrival in the Bahamas will follow the viewing of the PBS series, "Colum­ bus and the Age of Discovery" in the first half of the semester. This series is part of an international commemoration and consists of seven parts; each one is 55 minutes long. This class will have no specific teacher, but rather a director who organizes the guest speakers that will appear. In the spring the director will be John Williams, while next fall it will be Bettie Bond. The guest speakers will give lectures on Columbus's voyages and the controversies that surround him. If you like to travel, this course may be for you. Two trips are planned during M arch for New York and Washington D.C. Students will visit various museums and exhibits to further their knowledge . of Columbus. One of these exhibits is located in the National Gallery in Washington. The speakers in each class are specialized in various fields. For example, John Bond will dis­ cuss the planting and harvesting of seeds, while DaveWarren will discuss Native Americans. John Williams, the director, will wrap up the course on April 28. This course is $8 for teachers in Region II and $15 for members of the Institute of Senior Schol­ ars.

Visitors from Moscow plan uniting program for campus By JENNIFER FORNARO Appalachian Staff Writer Several Soviet visitors from Moscow spent time at Appalachian State University during the month of November. The visitors are from an organiza­ tion in Moscow called the Movement for Under­ standing and are discussing plans for programs between Appalachian State University and this Soviet group. One of the reasons for the trip to ASU was to discuss the details of bringing Yuli Gusman, the president of the National Center of Filmmakers of Russia, to Appalachian State University as a Scholar-in-Residence for the Department of Fine and Applied Arts. The University has submitted a written scholarship proposal, and should hear the results in the spring. Another major reason behind the visit was to continue negotiations with the Movement for Un­ derstanding for a SovietTraining Programthrough the university. The College of Business, through a joint proposal with the Broyhill Institute of Busi­ ness Development, plans to bring 25 Soviet busi­ ness people to our campus for a month long entre­ preneurial and managerial training program. Dr. Joyce Lawrence, the dean of the graduate school, with the help of Dr. Rick Kirkpatrick, an associate professor of Economics, initiated and coordinated the visits. "Everyone is excited about the plans we are discussing. We are looking forward to making the Soviet Training Program a reality," said Kirkpatrick "These business people have no concept of a free-market economy," said Kirkpatrick. "We would have to start at the very beginning because they have not been exposed to it throughout their lives like Americans have."

The second CD from the ensemble is in the production phase of recording now. The Appalachian Acoustic Ensemble is made up of artists from different musical backgrounds.Some are classically trained, and some can not read a note of music. "There are classically trained people together with people who play by ear. There is a deep respect for both styles," said Shannon. The idea for the ensemble came from the variety of musicians avail­ able in this area. "Most of us had played together but not as a whole unit," said Shannon. Joe Shannon plays by ear but is learning to read music. Shannon is one of the finest musicians in the area. His technical skill on the dulcimer is only matched by the creative energy he puts into his music. Each song Shannon writes or performs has a story to go with it. "I always have a vision of something," said Shannon. Shannon is always striv­ ing to convey his vision of the music to the audi­ ence through these stories. Shannon plays both types of dulcimers, the Appalachian and the hammer dulcimer. "The Appalachian dulcimer sits on your lap; it has three strings. It has a light sweet sound and has a German origin," said Shannon. "The hammered dulcimer is well known around the world and less known in the United States. It goes back to the days of the Old Testa­ ment. It was a forerunner to the piano." "There has been a big revival in the past 15 years of dulcimerplay­ ing," said Shannon. "Warmlight" features various instruments including the Appalachian dulcimer, hammer­ ed dulcimer, oboe, flute, guitar, fiddle, viola, bass, cello, harmonica, classical guitar and hand bells. J The musicians on the CD are all local artists including ASU faculty. The members of the en­ semble playing Friday will include Joe Shannon, Dave Gaston, Susan Brashier, Witold Kosmali Rachel Nelson, Cecil Gurganus and Tom Pace. J » The group will be playing many selections from "Warmlight" as well as many seasonal tunes. . Shannon is also a writer of plays and poetry. Hw play "Eagle Feather" was produced at Horn in the West. * Joe Shannon and the Appalachian Acoustit Ensemble will be performing traditional Appal* chian music in The Pub on Friday.

Comic Strip features Gallagher's funny brother J By WILLIAM PURCELL Appalachian Diversions Editor • 4 ' COMIC STRIP BRINGS GALLAGHER H TO LEGENDS: No, it's not Gallagher but Gallagher II. Ron Gallagher looks a lot like his famous brother and does some of his routines, but he's a comedian in his own right. The Comic Strip features Gallagher II tonight along with Brad Carver. Tickets are $3. There will be many entertainment choices this weekend in Boone. If you're looking for good bands or quality comedy, Boone is the place to be. The Comic Strip returns again this month for one more night filled with laughs and entertain­ ment This month features Gallagher II. Tonight you can catch the hilarious routines of this comic as well as comedian Brad Carver. Tickets are $3 and the show will be in Legends. When you hear the name Gallagher images of pQjije to mind. Y ou picture that fame with the moustache. Gallagher II looks just like Gallagher. Gallagher II is in fact Ron Gallagher, the not so famous younger brother of the Prince of Props himself. Ron had opened a number of Gallagher Shows by walking out on stage to the applause of a cheering audiece only to have his brother enter the stage from another area. From that point on the crowd never really knows what to expect. "Gallagher is one of the most creative comics around today," said student Colin Gooder. "He is really in touch with the college crowd." Looks alone are not the only thing this wacky sibling has in common with his brother. He has often fooled large crowds with his stag^ impersonation by using someof his brothers mate-^ rial mixed in his own act. From a battered foot locker on stage, he is likely to pull out any number of stage props and horned made contraptions including the Gallagher trade-" mark Sledge-O-Matic. With the Sledge-O-Matic he pulverizes every­ thing in sight from apples to watermelons. Comedian Brad Carver will open the show.

A Madrigal Feast with wenches and jesters By WILLIAM PURCELL Appalachian Diversions Editor The ASU School of Music will present Ye Olde Madrigal Christmas Feaste in the Broyhill Inn and Conference Center from Dec. 5-8. The evening will feature dance, song, drama and fine food. Ye Olde Madrigal Feaste, a highlight of the Christmas season in Boone, will be presented for the 13th consecutive yearby the Appalachian State University Chamber Singers during Appalachian Christmas. Madrigal dinners are fixtures in many religious, educational and civic institutions as a means of combining dance,music, drama and entertainment with a meal in a setting reminiscent of another time. The time is frequently Elizabethan England, but it could be Renaissance Italy or Colonial America. In Elizabethan England, gentlemen learned proper manners from reading courtesy books. An­ other essential part of their social education was understanding music and poetry. Musically, the young men were expected to be proficient in sing­ ing and playing an instrument. Henry VD3 even refined his singing and musical skills. Partsongs of the day, known as madrigals, were often sung ina casual, relaxed atmosphere at home, around the meal table or as evening entertainment. Musical evenings, known as revels, featured courtly entertainment that included masques. dances, music and plays. These revels frequently occurred at Inns of Court, which were law schools where men also learned the gentlemanly art. In essence, these events offered students at the inn opportunities to practice social behaviors ex­ pected of gentlemen. All the diverse ingredients of the masque: drama, poetry, music and dance con­ tributed to the education of students aspiring to be courtiers. The revels were the early harbingers of today's madrigal feaste. This year, the Madrigal Feaste will be set in Elizabethan England with Ye Hoste and Hostess, Lord Robert Dudley and Lady Elizabeth Dudley. There will also be wenches, pages and acourt jester for added entertainment. Distinguished brass and recorder consorts will render performances and accompany the Chamber singers with ensemble and solo selections com­ posed by English Masters. The feast is catered by the Broyhill Inn. The menu has traditionally included such items as wassial bolle, barleye soup, salade verte tudor, roast beefe with Yorkshyre puddyng, candeyed sweete yams, greene benes almonde, rounde of rye, hot scones, prune cayke with rum sause and a boar's head. The Feaste will be held nightly Dec. 5-8 in the Commons of the Broyhill Inn and Conference Center. The cost is $25 for adults and $12 for children. For more information call 262-2204. "Beauty and the Beast," told with a Disney twist By JIM FANNING Special to the Appalachian "Beauty and the Beast," Walt Disney Pictures' 30th full-length animated feature, brings to life the age-old fairy tale of the hideous Beast who must win the love of the fair Beauty. "It's perhaps one of the last of the red-hot fairy tales," said Producer Don Hahn. "It existed in the verbal culture of storytelling long before it was ever written down." The "Beauty and the Beast" story was first written down in 1550 by Giovan Straparalo; later versions, including two by Madam Le Prince De Beaumont and Madame Gabriele de Villenuve, come to us from tales of the French courts of the 1700s. "Part of the fun," he said, "is that each genera­ tion and culture adapts this powerful story to be its m." As with every animated feature, the Disney team has conjured up a large cast of unforgettable characters. Top billed is Beauty herself. Belle, the latest in a long line of Disney heroines. "It was achallenge tomake her differentfrom all the others," said Gary Trousdale who, along with Kirk Wise, directed Beauty and the Beast. "We especially wanted her to be different visually, not just the same character with different hair." "We wanted Belle to be much more than a damsel-in-distress," said Trousdale. "She's a go-getter," adds Baxter. "She's an instigator of the action...She doesn't just sit back and let things happen to her." Broadway actress Paige O'Hara gives Belle her lilting voice. Sherri Stoner, the actress who posed in live-action reference film for Ariel in "The Little Mermaid" acted out the role of Belle in reference footage for the Beauty animators. "We told Sherri we didn't want the same kind of mannerisms that Ariel had, so she gave us a differ­ ent characterization," said Baxter. Belle's co-star, the Beast, isa completely unique Disney character. "The Beast is the strongest, most complex male character we've had in a Disney movie in a long time," said Wise. "Emotionally, the character has to go through a great deal of change. He goes from being a selfish, beastly character to being someone who even underneath all that fur is very loving and generous. That's a long journey for him." Through the centuries, the Beast has been por­ trayed in many ways by many artists.

Decembers. 1991 coupon • coupon • coupon • coupon . C O U p o c o a Beauty 3 O Campus Paperback Bestsellers Continued from page 7 element of the tale's mystic power was left to Supervising Animator Glen Keane. Keane said, "With the Beast you have this enormous sense of animal power and size. At the same time he develops gentle, tender emotions, and you're taking a lot of emotions that we did with Ariel and put­ ting them into this beast-like body." " Movie actor Robby Benson gives gruff but expressive voice to the Beast's full range of emotions. "Beauty and the Beast" boasts a unique villain—an entertainingly unlikable cad whose selfish outlook ultimately goes over the top. "Gaston is the only male chauvinist character ever in Disney animation," said Supervising Animator Andrea Deja. "We're trying to break new ground, mak­ ing him a male character who is realistic and handsome and also a good character actor. At first you wouldn't think he's a villain, but as the plot develops and Belle rejects him, he gets so outraged he be­ comes capable of killing." In a twist unique to Disney features, "Beauty and the Beast's" supporting cast is made up of some very animate objects. When the selfish prince is put under the spell that changes him into the Beast, his servants are transformed at the same time into household objects. The candelabra is the head butler, the clock is the majordomo, and the teapot is the cook. As with every Disney fairy tale ffom "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1937) to "The Little Mermaid" (1989), songs are a vital ingredient in casting the magic spell of storytelling. Although not originally intended as a musical, Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, the Academy Award-winning songwriting team from "The Little Mermaid" were eventually brought on to develop a new approach to the story. Ashman and Menken have also con­ tributed their magical brush to thenow-inproduction Disney feature "Aladdin," slated for release at Christmas 1992. It will mark Howard Ashman's last contri­ bution to Disney animation, for he died earlier this year. with this coupon c o 2 You Just Don't Understand, by Deborah Tamer.

Trailing 7-3 at the start of the fourth quarter, the Mountaineers had a chance to take the lead by driving down to the Colo­ nel 1-yard line. On fourth-and-1 junior fullback J.K. Reaves tried to dive over the top of the Eastern Kentucky defensive line, but was pinned back by the Colonels, who then took over on downs. "We had agolden opportunity to score," ASU Head Coach Jerry Moore said. "I'm hot going to sit here and second-guess our play calls. I'd go out there now and do it over. You can second-guess yourself to death." Appalachian Photo by Keith JacKson "We have been real successful all year Rl qloNELS STOHfS IN FIRST ROUND: Chip Hooks rushed for only55yards with J.K. going over the top," Mountain­ • alikeMountainef were able to score only three points against Eastern Kentucky in eer quarterback DJ. Campbell said. "They *IjB first round pf°ff loss. just did an excellent job of getting the linebackers over the top to stop him. It's pretty disappointing because in the end it really hurt us." "When we had them on third-and-goal from the 2, we were in our 'heads' de­ fense. We thought they would spread it out," Eastern Kentucky Head Coach Roy Kidd explained. "Then we stopped them on fourthdown. That was one of the plays that turned the momentum." Appalachian came away empty on the drive despite grinding out 79 yards on 20 plays. The drive chewed up nearly eight minutes of clock. The Mountaineers had another chance to go ahead later in the quarter, after a poor punt by EKU's Bryan Barrett gave the Apps the ball on their own 45-yard line. On the second play of the drive, quarter­ back D.J. Campbell pitched the ball to freshman tailback Chip Hooks. But the wet pigskin squirted out of the ffosh's hands, and Colonel nose guard Ernest Thompson made therecovery on the Eastem 48. "The big play in the game was the fumble on the option and their ability to take it down and score," Moore com­ mented. "Any time you make a great play on defense, it helps the offense, and it also gives the defense momentum for the next time we come out," Thompson said. Eastern Kentucky then took the air out of the ASU sails with a seven-play, 52yard scoring drive. Senior fullback Tim Lester carried the final four plays of the drive, including a 3-yard TD run around the left side that gave the Colonels a 14-3 cushion with just under eight minutes to play. ASU never seriously threatened the rest of the game, and the Colonels held on for the 14-3 triumph. "Obviously, it was a terrific college football game," Moore said. 'Two good teams played under tough conditions. There weren't very many mistakes. It was just a hard-fought, tough football game. "Both teams had opportunities in the game," Moore continued. "We're disap­ pointed to lose. We gave ourselves a chance to win, but we just couldn't take advan­ tage of it." "I tell you, we beat a good football team today," said Kidd, the second wiimingest active coach in college football. "It was a great team win." The Mountaineers, making their third playoff appearance in the past five sea­ sons, got off to a fast start in the contest. Appalachian took the opening kickoff and marched 75 yards to the Colonel 5-yard line, where the drive stalled. Junior kicker Jay Millson then came on and booted a 22yard field goal, which gave the Apps a 30 lead. The Mountaineer defense stifled Eastem Kentuckythroughout the opening quar­ ter, but the Colonels capitalized on an ASU breakdown to take a 7-3 lead in the second quarter. On the Colonels' third play of the quar­ ter, junior tailback Mark us Thomas ex­ ploded around the right side of the Moun­ taineer defense for a 72-yard touchdown gallop. "I just swung to the right as soon as I got the ball," Thomas said.

ASU managed to trim the lead down to nine with 16:41 left to play when Billy Ross worked his way free for a 10-foot jumper. Ross was fouled on the shot and converted the three-point play to cut the lead to 42-33. That would be as close as Appalachian would get to UNCC the remainder of the game, however, as the 49'ers repeatedly burned the inside defense of ASU for easy baskets. All 16 of Charlotte's second-half field goals were scored in the paint, as guards Henry Williams and James Terrell were able to penetrate and set the UNCC post players up with easy scoring opportu­ nities. The biggest frustration for Apke came at the offensive end of the floor, however. The Apps shot just 40 percent from the floor for the game, and forward Steve Spurlock netted just five points. Spurlock entered the game averaging 23 points per game. ASU managed just 11 points in the first 10 minutes of the second half, and was held scoreless over a two-minute stretch thatsaw UNCC score sevenstraight points and balloon a 10-point lead into a 54-37 margin that effectively put the game away with 12:01 remaining. "Our inability to run our offense at the beginning of the second half was the dif­ ference in the game, and that frustrates me a great deal," Apke said."I thought we did OK defensively for a while, but our offen­ sive frustration eventually got us frus­ trated at the defensive end too. "We had a number of unforced errors that really hurt us. That's an area where we can improve and hopefully will." ASU finished with 19 turnovers on the evening. The 49'ers were able to get top-notch performances from junior forward Malru Dottin and sophomore center Rodney Odom, both of whom were counted on to provide more than their usual share due to the absence of Jarvis Lang, UNCC's tal­ ented sophomore forward and last year's national freshman-of-the-year. Lang suf­ fered a broken wrist against Long Beach State last week and did not even make the trip to Boone Monday night. In his absence, Dottin scored 10 points and pulled down five rebounds while Odom scored 12 points and claimed seven rebounds. Dottin entered the game aver­ aging just two points per contest. "I'm pleased with the way our kids responded to the loss of Jarvis," UNCC Head Coach Jeff Mullins said. "We have a lot of respect for ASU. They've been tough forus in the past.They do a good job against us, and it is always a big game for them. They work hard to play well against us." The win was just the second in seven tries for Mullins against the Mountain­ eers. Tim Powers led ASU with 19 points and 16 rebounds, but committed a gamehigh five turnovers. Billy Ross scored 12 on 5-of-15 shooting, while Rodney Peel chipped in 11 points, two assists and two steals. Williams and Terrell scored 16 points apiece to lead the 49'ers, now 2-1.

His team had a 27- 7 record and ended up third in the state. Head CoachTom Apke feels that the 6'2" point guard is an excellent player and student and that he will be a good addition to the 1992-93 Mountaineer squad. "With Rodney Peel being a senior this year, we felt it was a top priority to sign a point guard early," Apke said. The ASU women's team landed four highly touted players. In fact, Head Coach Linda Robinson labels them "four of the finest recruits anyone had." Angie Crosby, a 6'1" forward out of Anderson, S.C. is expected to make a serious impact on ASU's frontcourt. Crosby attended high school at T. L. Hannan in Anderson, having a spectacu­ lar three years. The power forward aver­ aged 22 points and 12.7 rebounds per game in her senior season. As a freshman at Anderson Junior Col­ lege, Crosby was an All-Region 10 selec­ tion, averaging 18.0 points and 12.3 re­ bounds per game. "Along with being a fantastic young person with tremendous maturity, Angie possesses all the tools to walk in here and help take the Lady Mountaineers to the next level of play we are pushing for (NCAA)," Robinson said. One of the early signees for the Lady Mountaineers wasShannon Spencer from Newton-Conover HighSchool. Spencer's basketball honors included conference player of the year, Piedmont Basketball player of the year and also being a mem­ ber of an AAU National Championship team in 1988 and 1990. The 5'5" point guard had a stellar junior year in high school, averaging 19.0 points, 6.1 re­ bounds, five assists and five steals per game. Robinson commented, "Shannon pos­ sesses the ingredients we need to run the point at Appalachian. She plays the game with tremendous intensity and takes pride in leading the team by doing whatever it takes to get the job done." Another new guard for Appalachian next year will be Leigh Jones of West Wilkes in Millers Creek. This 5'6"guard was all-conference in basketball, volley­ ball and track at West Wilkes. Jones averaged 20.0 points and six assists per game during her junior season. Jones was also a player of the year selection and a member of the Winston-Salem Journal's All-Northwest team. Coming out of Erwin High School in Asheville is 6'2" center Amber Burgess. As a junior, she blocked 97 shots, a school record. Burgess was a basketball allconference player, and Robinson believes that Burgess was a player that many schools overlooked. "Amber may be a sleeper - she did notplay much her sopho­ more year or early in her junior year, but she really began to blossom last Febru­ ary," Robinson said.

The Appalachian State women's bas­ ketball squad improved itsrecord to2-2 as it defeated Radford at home on Nov. 26 before traveling to Harrisonburg, Va. and competing in the James Madison Nielson Tournament, rolling past the College of Charleston and falling to James Madison last weekend. The Lady Mountaineers, led by Shan­ non Thomas, Penny Robersonand Regina Ikard, defeated the Lady Highlanders of Radford 88-74 in a Varsity Gym contest. "This was an excellent win for us going into the James Madison tournament. We played a sharp and intense game that en­ abled us to beat a very good ball club," ASU Head Coach Linda Robinson said. The first half wasa "nip and tuck"game according to Robinson as the Lady Apps found themselves tied with Radford at the half 42-42 before Thomas and Roberson took charge in the second half. Thomas and Roberson led the Lady Apps in scoring with 22 points apiece. Thomas also led the team with 13 re­ bounds. Ikard, who set a school record with a 10-for-10 shooting performance, chalked up 21 points for ASU. The Lady Apps went on to compete in the JMU-Nielson Tournament opening with a victory over theCollege of Charles­ ton, 82-54, on Nov. 29. "We put forth a tremendous team ef­ fort, and our focus was great. I was very proud of the way our girls played," Robinson said. The Lady Apps exploded into the game and took a big lead at the half over the Lady Cougars, 44-23, despite an injury to Thomas near the end of the half. Thomas wentdown with an ankle sprain and a quad strain in her knee. Currently undergoing treatment, Thomas is recov­ ering positively, and Robinson hopes to have her back in practice around the end of this week. "It was a veTy emotional experience for the entire team when Shannon went down. For the senior leader to fall in such a hard fashion...it is just terrible,"Robinson said. "I have never seen a student-athlete come back as successfully after going down as she has, and when it happened we were all in a momentary shock. When we went back out onto the floor, we were vulner­ able for a couple of minutes because we were so stunned, but I could not be more pleased at how the girls fought back to win the game," Robinson said. Roberson dominated for the Lady Mountaineers scoring a JMU tournament record 33 points, 23 in the first half. "She (Roberson) played possessed. She took charge for us at the scoring angle andreallycamethrough,"Robinson said. "I was really impressed with the effort of all of the players in this game. Every­ one did something to contribute to the win," Robinson said. The Lady Apps went on to fall in the finals of the tournament to James Madi­ son, 84-58. "They beat us rather handily. At first, it was a nip and tuck game, and then thendepth took charge. It was our first game playing without Shannon, and that played somewhat toour disadvantage, and James Madison played the game of their life," Robinson said. Robinson pointed to several key fac­ tors in the outcome of the game. "We had a record high31 turnovers; we played very shaky and threw the ball away too many times. We let them score too many pointsoff rebounds;we simply could not contain them. They were so explosive and feature such tremendous talent," Robinson said. Lynch led the Lady Mountaineers with 18 points but was guilty of six turnovers while Ikard added 12 points for the ASU effort. The Lady Mountaineers will travel to ACC powerhouse Clemson on Dec. 7 before competing inthe Golden Bear Clas­ sic at the California State-Berkeley Dec 20-21. �UL The Appalachian. Thursday.

Thomas was die offensive standout of the day, rushing for 185 yards on the muddy turf, before leaving the game with a bruised shoulder in the fourth quarter. Lester added 90 yards on 18 carries for Eastern Kentucky, which as a team rushed for 280 yards on the day. Appalachian could average only 2.5 yards a crack on the ground against the stingy Colonel defense, gaining just 110 yards on 44 carries. Hooks was the high ground-gainer for the Mountaineers, with ASU Continued from page 9 The Lady Mountaineers' first match will be against William and Mary College at9 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 5. Other teams in ASU's pool include Northern Illinois, Villanova and Santa Clara. Head Coach Traci McGee described the tournament schedule as"mentally and physically challenging," saying her ath­ letes could be on the court four to five hours each of the first two days of the toumey. "Since the Southern Conference Tour­ nament, we've doubled our conditioning in preparation for the NIVC," McGee revealed. "Our players have responded very well to the challenge. I think that much of their enthusiasm comes from the realization that they are one of 52 volley­ ball teams in the country that are still alive." McGee sighted three keys to Moun­ taineer success in the NIVC. "We're try­ ing toadvanceouroffenseby usingquicker plays to outside hitters," McGee said. "That all revolves around our new setter, 55 yards on21 carries.Campbell followed with 39 yards on 14attempts, while Reaves rushed seven times for 19 yards. Neither team could establish an effec­ tive passing attack on the afternoon. Campbell completed 10of24 attempts for 88 yards on the day and was sacked twice. EKU quarterback Joey Crenshaw con­ nected on six of 11 offerings for only 40 yards. He was also picked off once by Mountaineer senior cornerback Mark Mayo. The interception was Mayo's sixth of the year, tops on the squad. The Mountaineers finish the season with an 8-4 record and a Southern Conference championship, their first league title since 1987. Rachel Wade, and she's really coming into her own." Another key for Appalachian will be the leadership of senior Sabrina Hill. "Sabrina has been to regional and na­ tional competition in track, and that expe­ rience is a definite advantage for her," McGee explained. "I think the team will be looking to Sabrina for leadership, and I believe she'll provide it I haven't seen Sabrina try this hard to make a difference in practice since she's been at ASU, and it's really good to see her lead by ex­ ample." McGee thinks her team will be very focused on improvement and fundamen­ tals. "My main goal is for the team to play better than they have the entire season," McGee commented. "The girls are going to see another realm of the sport, and I think that will enlighten and motivate theircapabilities. They really wantto make a good impression about the SC. We're going to do everything we can to win games, hopefully matches and maybe the tournament." J L.

Now,the problem may be taking iP for the better. Afederal judge issued an injunction on Nov. 21 that prohibits the DepartBnt of Education from withholding federal funds to schools that release •pus crime reports. Before the decision, the Department of Education cut offfunding to schools who released such reports, stating that disclosure of the .lime information violated the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, letter known as the Buckley Amendment. The 1974 Amendment prohibits dools from releasing any student educational records without the consent if the student. Hie Department of Education said campus crime reports fell under the (lifelines of the Buckley Amendment. U.S. District Judge Stanley Harris sail this is incorrect The decision is a major victory for student newspapers, such as The fplachian, whose staff members fdef the studentijri&Jfhasti right to know feoutcririiinal acts occurring on the campus. Withholdingsuch crime records fates the First Amendment rights of student journalists. The ruling came after the Student Press Law Center, working with such lege newspapers as the Daily Beacon at the University of Tennessee at looxville, filed suit. College newspapers, like The Appalachian, just want to do their jobs as fotively as possible. Part of that job is to report the happenings on campus, wen if those happenings shed negative light on the university community, •dents have the right to know what is occurring on their campus. They Buld know of criminal acts in order to take precautions to see that such acts minimal in the future. TheNov. 21 decision was a major step, but other steps must follow, as the junction was just a temporary measure against the Department of Educa­ te Currently, two bills that would change the Buckley Amendment are to considered by a House-Senate conference comm ittee. Both versions of the ® would allow campus crime records to be released, fte bills deserve attention and should be passed to allow crime reports to •released. By TRACY TARLETON Appalachian Commentary Editor Twenty shopping days until Christmas. Lights and decorations are up everywhere—on campus in residence halls, the student union, food service facilities, and off campus in churches, shops and restaurants. Christmas specials are on television, and Christmas tapes are selling quickly in the stores and through mail-order catalogues. The Christmas spirit is definitely in the air. But during the next week, a small interruption may throw a little cold water on students' holiday excite­ ment—for both students and faculty, the beginning of the Christmas season also means the beginning of exam season. And the beginning of exam season often means stress. Stress can easily put a damper on a person's holiday spirit. But it doesn't have to. Unfortunately at this time in the semester it's very difficult to avoid stress completely, but there are ways to deal with exam stress and, therefore, make this next week a little more exciting. One way to eliminate some stress is to try to get enough sleep. It isn't an easy thing to do with studying for exam after exam. But if you can manage to get at least eight hours a night (some people need alittle more, somecan get by with less), you will not only feel better and be easier to get along with, but you will also have an easier time studying for those three exams you have tomorrow. After getting enough sleep, you will have an easier time taking the exams, too, and will probably make better grades. You may actually profit more grade wise from sacrificing an hour of studying and going to bed an hour earlier. Another way to survive exam seasonis to try to eat well. This also may be difficult at the end of the semester when on-campus students are out of money on their mealcards, and off-campus students have low bank balances due to expenses from Christmas shopping. Also, it ismuch easier to grab a bag of potato chips and a giant glass of Pepsi and sit down with the books than it is to have to cook a whole meal. However, a well-nourished body can produce more energy—which means you will probably feel better, be able toget by onless sleep and thenbe able to study longer. It will also take you less time to absorb what you are studying. When it is cold and rainy outside, putting on a warm bathrobe and fuzzy slippers and curling up under ablanket with the books and a big cup of hot chocolate is very appealing. Doing this is probably the best thing about exam season. But one word of caution: if you study this way, make sure you have at least a smidgeon of interest in what you're studying and make sure you have had more than five hours of sleep the night before. Curling up under a blanket with a textbook more boring than the instruction manual for a computerized washing machine is perfect medicine for insomniacs, but can be harmful to someone who needs to learn material for an exam. Studying in a dorm room or apartment presents prob­ lems to people who are easily distracted by television, radio or telephone. However, everyone should study in the place wherehe/she learns best, be it in the library in a study carrel, in the Skylight Lounge on a couch, in the Food Court at a table with twenty zillion people around, or in a dorm room or apartment curled up in bed. The library has an excellent atmosphere for studying, but it may present the opposite problem that studying in a dorm room or apartment does—too little distraction. If quiet makes you go to sleep, don't study in the library. If you study best to music, study to music. But you may want to consider using headphones if you like it loud, especially if you live in a residence hall, in which 23-hour quiet hours start Saturday. Wherever you study, don't study when you're hungry. That's a distraction you don't need. Go ahead and eat as much as you want before you start a cram session, and eat while you're studying if that helps you think. However, you might want to avoid eating things like potato chips and cookies—extra poundage is hard enough to avoid during the holidays as it is. Another way to alleviate stress is to avoid cramming if you possibly can. You learn more if you try to study and absorb material in small portions instead of in one big chunk. Starting studying a few days in advance and then mostly reviewing the night before the exam may makfc learning the material a little easier (and you'll also avoid making yourself crazy from looking at the same thing for eight straight hours). Of course we all know it's some-; times absolutely impossible to avoid a last-minute cram' session. But managing time so that last-minute crammingis avoided as much as possible is helpful in reducing the! stress thatcomes from hav ing anincomprehensible amount; of material to learn in one night. Also, no matter how much you have to do, allow! yourself a few breaks, even if it's just long enough to go! to the vending machine and get a drink. This gives you a J chance to breathe and, for five minutes, think about' • something besides what you have to know for the exam. • In addition to these short breaks from study time, allow at! least one hour a day for yourself in which you don't study \ and you do something you like to do; exercise, watch' television, listen to music, take a nap or whatever, but» you'll have a chance to rest and clear your head. Even if> you lost this hour of study time, the time you do spend! studying will be more productive. Exam stress is hitting hard, cutting into students' holi-; day seasons. However, during these next two weeks we can keep our stress levels relatively low by eating well,! getting enough sleep, studying where, when and how we! study best, and remembering to take breaks and time for; ourselves. Even with exam on top of exam we can still keep the Christmas spirit. After all, in less than two weeks • it will all be over, are the most stimulating mental activity ! we'll have to engage ourselves in will be deciding which ! present we want to open first or which color of lights look ; best on a Christmas tree. Editor's note: Tarleton is a junior French education • major from Wilson. Definition of love should be examined By KRISTA PIALET Appalachian Staff Writer It's in songs, movies. Paintings, books. A day without its presence is rare, A lifetime without is unthinkable, Unbearable. It's all around us In different forms And it always holds unique meaning. Always indefinite. We take it for granted And rely on its strength. We weep at its absence And forgive its mistakes. We let it surround us Students have the right to timely, accurate information about campus And envelop our soulstoe. Such information should not be in sealed files but should be available All the while ignorant to its meaning. "lie college as well as professional press.

F December 5, 1991 terpreted. It enters our lives And fills us with joy. Then exits dramatically Leaving Time to be its maid. Is it really so thoughtless? Or merely uncontrolled? — What's the difference? It takes hold of the heart And leaves the brain defenselessOften to the point of bliss. We dream about it, we pray for itWhen we find it, we curse it. But what happens when the dreamer awakes too soon? The prayer remains unanswered? Or the seeked evades the seeker? Do the curses stop or smother? Do we push forth and ignore it Or does love really make the world go 'round? It's not a new topic or a current event; it's been around since the beginning of time, and it will always be here. Love. We hear the word a thousand times a day, we use it to refer to a thousand different things, but what does it mean? Poets try to express it with elaborate language, painters try to show it with colors and authors try to explain it through a story. Have any of them really figured it out? Do we think that we have figured it out whenever we read their poems or ad­ mire their paintings or interpret their sto­ ries? Do we really need to figure it out? We love our dog, we love a sweater, we love the weather, our parents, our friends and our boyfriends or girlfriends. The list is endless. We consider them all different loves but are they really? Of course you don't love your parents the same way you love your boyfriendor girlfriend, but does that mean you love either of them any less? And does it seem logical to use the same word to explain your feelings about your boyfriend or girlfriend to also ex­ press how you feel about a movie you just saw? Is anything about love logical? In my opinion, no one will ever find the true meaning of love. Love is a feeling, an indescribable emotion. We all feel it on different levels for different things. Some people think they will never find it, not knowing it's staring them in the face. Others think they found it and place their whole lives in its hands only to find that it was a facade. I guess what I'm really trying to say is that we tend to abuse the word love. Not only do we use it far too often, using it to refer to things we know we don't truly love, but we also put too much emphasis on it. We go through life thinking that we have to fall in love, that if we don't feel love there is something wrong with us. Wei spend so much time worrying about the absence or intensity of love that we can't enjoy it when we have it. Go through life following your dreams! achieve your goals, live for yourself. If • along the line you discover what love-. means to you and you find the person who ; embodies that meaning, then hold on to ; him or her but don't be blinded. Don't let! love take away your own identity and become your only focus. Love is a won-; derful emotion, but when you let it dictate your life it can be your tragic flaw. •• • Love is supposed to be romantic; no one; wants to have to analyze it, but since it is; open to so many interpretations and has the capability to cause so much chaos, it. should be looked at carefully. No matter! how strongly you feel or how sure you;. think you are about something, never ac-; cept things at face value. Questions and | doubts are what help us separate the truth!; from what we only thought was true. Ex-!1 amining love does not make it any less; • romantic, it merely gives us a chance to;! stay away if it's not real or to savor it when-; it is real. •' Rules made for safety, not to ruin fun Employees defend Legends rules To the Editor: This letter concerns Lisa Gallulo's letter in the Nov. 5 edition of The Appalachian. We work at Legends and we found her letter to be misleading and uninformed as to the events at Legends • during the Johnny Quest show. Her letter confused many different issues and used our manager as a target for her displeasure — which we found uncalled for. The first mistake in her letter was the barrier. It was not flimsily constructed nor was it an attempt to control slam dancing. It was there to inhibit people from stage diving. The second problem with her letter was that she said Randy (Kelly) had an "absurd scheme to control a crowd that was not even out of control...." This statement seemed to us to be ridiculous because in her second paragraph, she says that the barrier broke, and she was almost crushed between the boards by the crowd! If the crowd was able to break the barrier, to us that seems as though it was out of control. Another problem in her letter was that she tried to portray Randy Kelly as incompetent. He is not, and he knew better than anyone how to conduct a Johnny Quest show because he's booked the band before at Legends, and he's dealt with the crowd. The entire staff knew that at this show there was going to be a lot of energy. No one on the staff wanted to ruin anyone's good time. But sometimes energy has to be contained in order to keep everyone safe. That is the first priority. Lisa's letter was essentially arguing for certain audience members to behave however they wished. She says that people who come to a Johnny Quest show know what to expect and if people don't like the atmosphere then they should stay home. What she fails to recognize is that there are audience members who don't want to be slammed into or dived on, and they also, should be able to enjoy the band's music live. Finally, Lisa is the one who should "get with the times." If ASU wasn't, the bands like Johnny Quest wouldn't play here. The first time an audience at any show decides to get out of control and someone is hurt, then it costs everyone the right to see them in the future. Lisa should appreciate her ability to see shows like Johnny Quest on campus instead of complaining about it. Amanda R. Wilson ASU Box 15840 Carla Guffey ASU Box 14863 Security provides helpful services To the Editor: Contrary to popular belief, safety, not the ticketing of student's cars, is the primary goal of the ASU Police Department. In fact, the police depart­ ment hires students to write tickets while the ASU police force performs police duties. Before judging the ASU police, everyone should know about the many services that they provide. Since last year, the number of blue light telephones on campus has been upgraded from nine to 19. Closed circuit televisions have already been installed in three parking areas, with plans to extend this program to all parking areas. This program frees up •! officers from the duty of parking lot -; patrol and allows them to patrol the !' campus each night. ASU police also perform services ;! above and beyond those of security. ••! They provide indispensable services of convenience free of charge to ASU students. These services include everything from unlocking car doors •* and emergency rides for the handi« capped, to loaning jumper cables to stranded motorists. Aside from their duties of security \ and services of conveniences, the mere ' presence of the ASU police is their mostvaluable contribution to security, although this is most often taken for ', granted. The next time you see an officer "not doing anything," be thankful that ASU is a safe campus. An • officer with nothing to do is not lazy, ! but rather successful. ASU police is not only staff and personnel; it is jvery light, every monitor, every call box and every lock that makes ASU a safe campus. Lori Barnes Chris Brady Steve Hudson Krista Pialet �!

Due to the severity of the conditions, it may be necessary for some staff employees to miss work completely Staff employees may use vacation leave, compensatory leave or leave-without-pay (after vacation leave has be exhausted) for time missed due to adverse weather conditions. There may also be an opportunity for this time to be made up. Any made-up time which results in an overtime situation (more than 40 hours a week) is subject to overtime compensation in the form of payment of time off. It is necessary that make-up time be limited to the work-week in which the time is lost or in a week when the staff employee has not worked a full work schedule due to such absences as vacation leave, sick leave, etc. Make-up time which results in an overtime situation is discouraged. If it is necessary for the University to be closed due to weather conditions, any time missed by employees should be treated as outlined above.

Under the current policy, students who jieless than eight hours do not pay any rfjon of student fees, but they do have pes to ASU services that operate enply or partially on student fees. This proposal is part of the student fee package that will beconsidered at the next Board of Trustees meeting in December. If the new policy is approved, student fees will beprorated intothirds, according to Bob Feid, assistant vice chancellor for student development. Students takingzero to five hours will pay one third of the student fees, students taking six to eight hours will pay two thirds of the students fees and students taking nine hours or more will pay full student fees. "Some students will be paying less under the new system and some students will be paying more," said Feid. "For example, students who are now taking eight hours pay full student fees, but if the proposal is approved, they will pay less, only two thirds of the fees." The only service that will not be pro­ rated is ASU Health Services. Part-time students whowish to use the student health service will be required to pay the entire health service fee. If the proposed student fee increases are approved, the health service fee will be $51.50 for full-time and part-time students per semester. According to Feid, ASU is the only school in the University of North C arolina system that does not prorate their fees. "The system ASU has proposed is very similar to the system at North Carolina State University," said Feid. "Other schools go up in increments. For example, at Western Carolina University, if you take one hour you pay eight percent of student fees, if you take two hours you pay 16 percent, and so on." According to Feid, students attending the UNC at Chapel Hill are required to pay full fees by taking only one hour. Because many students will be paying more money in fees, prorating student fees will cause an increase in revenue for the school, according to Feid. "We don't know how much revenue this will produce yet, so the fee increases will not be factored in for the 1992-1993 school year," said Feid. "Any increase in revenue generated by this process will then be factored into any future increases. If we bring in additional revenue, maybe we won't have to increase fees as much in future years."

"It's (bulimia) a control issue. Food is another area to have control over. You can't bear to see yourself as a failure and since people accept you on the basis of a physical image, you want to please them," Angie said. Long-term anorexia, bulimia or other eating disorders can cause death or per­ manent damage, Jones said. Angie said that she lost her menstrual cycle for an entire year. Angie's bulimia got to the point that she no longer had to regurgitate. As soon as she ate, the food would automatically come back up. She said that doctors told her that 87 percent of people with her advanced state of bulimia die. Trish Peters, resident director of White Residence Hall, said eating disorders are the most recurrent problem she has heard about through the resident assis­ tants. Due to the number of students with eating disorders, all resident assistants in White, Howie, Doughton and Cannon Residence Halls attended a workshop this semester to educate them about eating disorders. "I think it (an eating disorder) is really big. I don't know if calling it an epidemic is stretching it, but I know of a least a couple dozen in White this year," Peters said. See EATING page 2 Appalread helps literacy By TRACEY COFFRON Appalachian Staff Writer With the addition of Appalread to the curriculum, Appalachian State Univer­ sity can now offer more than just college diplomas. Appalread was created by the univer­ sity to offer a number of educational op­ portunities for permanent, full-time Ap­ palachian employees. The new system will give employees the chance to brush up on their basic reading or math skills, work toward their high school or equiva­ lency diplomas or take one tuition-free college course per semester. "The Appalread program was designed to combine all the educational oppor­ tunities for employees into one program. Wherever the employees are aca­ demically, we want to help them meet their needs," said Susie Beasley of Appalachian's personnel office.

He has heard the reasons that the manage­ ment has expressed forsome of their recy­ cling problems, but he does not believe that they are good ones. "They aren't recycling anything," he said, "everything is thrown right into the dumpster." Kelly said he is very upset that such allegations would be brought ag ains t Legends. "All cans are always recycled," he stated. "The problem," he continued, "is with the bottles." Kelly said he understands where a mis­ conception of their recycling practices might take place. He explained that in order for a glass recycling program to be successful in Legends, three glass bins, one for each color of glass, would have to be placed in many areas of the building, because that plant does not have the capa­ bility of doing so either. and the space is just not available.

He feels that it is only a matter of time before all things can be recycled. Presently, glass recycling isin the hands of thestudents, Kelly said. There are many locations across campus where all types of glass bins are available, so for glass to be recycled, it should be taken to these bins. Both Kelly and Rice asked that when glass is placed in the bin, that it be placed carefully, or the broken glass will not be recycled. At Legends, in order for a successful glass program in the future, Kelly ex­ pressed the need for more space, bigger sinks and a good drainage system for the cleaning of glass. Until then, throwing it out is the only thing to do, Kelly said. reek hall targeted by vandalism incidents £Ieparham Staff Writer hlan 'n Cone Residence Hall °f repeated vandalScm Eublic J""' acc°rding to Director ft have P°y Tu^m' who said seven reported cases of in r-" V dan, °ne 'E1'5 semester. 1 "lis e Vlctuns ^iden,a8eVange from 550 to $120 to all of the reports the ^meS,°UtqUiCklyWhile Chi Omega sorority hr been vandal­ ized twice, said Janet Trubey, sorority member.

"With an emphasis on literacy pro­ grams nationwide, we felt this was a per­ fect opportunity to emphasize this type of program for our employees," Beasley added. While Appalachian has offered similar employee education programs in the past with Caldwell Community College and through tuition-free college classes, the consolidation of benefits into one pro­ gram has many advantages. For one thing, the Appalread basic edu­ cation courses are smaller, with a teacher to student ratio of 1 to 10, allowing for more personalized instruction. For those students requiring more individualized learning in certain subjects, there are seven Appalachian faculty memhers who are currently enrolled in the tutor training program. Another plus to the Appalread program is the convenient location of classes. In the past, students were forced to drive to and from classes and, according to Beasley, the drive was a big factor in the high drop­ out rate. Now instead of the employees going off-campus for classes, the classes have come to the employee at four loca­ tions all located within walking distance of employee work sites. Although the Appalread system is only three months old, it is off to an impressive start. Over 45 employees are currently enrolled in the basic skills and GED courses. Employees must obtain release time from their supervisors to attend classes, which meet for two hours twice a week. Not only is Appalread gaining increased popularity, but the program has already produced significant results. "It has already made a difference," Beasley said. "The employees feel good about themselves and are happy about what they are doing."

Attention clubs and organizations desiring student union space during spring '92:The student union is slated to undergo extensive renovations and an addition to double its size and greatly enhance its capacity to meet the various conference and programming needs beginning in January or February, 1992. The initial construction will affect the Mini-mall area and virtually all of the second floor of the existing building. Confer­ ence Room 211, the Forum Room and Our House space will all be closed. Consequently, this will leave the campus with only two small conference rooms (rooms 110 and 112) and the Student Union Pub as multi-purpose meeting and programming spaces until after the completion of the new addition. To compensate for this loss of space, the Department of Student Programs has implemented the following strategy: Legends will bestaffed and opened Monday through Wednesday during day and evening hours to accommodate certain programs, meetings and special events. Beginning Wednesday, Dec. 4, the scheduling process will be open to all student organizations to reserve space for spring semester meetings and events; Schedule Legends and union spaces in room 101 of the student union starting 6 Dec. 4. 217 West King Street (704) 264-3307 CAKE DECORATING & CANDY MAKING SUPPLIES, BALLOON DELIVERIES SINGING TELEGRAMS GAG GIFTS & SANTA STRIPPERS Greek Eating Continued from page 1 Angie agrees that controlling food is a widespread problem that most people don' t recognize. She said that after she began treating her bulimia, she found that the people who she admired were often anorexics or bulimics also. Jones said anorexics and bulimics have a distorted self-image and an intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat. "I feel amazingly huge and obese, and I compare myself to other people," Angie said. While Jones said the majority of people with eating disorders are women, he said five percent of anorexics are men. Dysfunctional families are often the cause of eating disorders, as well as a sexist society which perpetrates the no­ tion that thin is attractive, according to Jones. Angie said that when she began her recovery, she found her mother's alcohol­ ism had had a lot to do with her eating disorder. She said there are three types of families whose children often have prob­ lems: the overprotective family, the per­ fect family and the chaotic family. Recovery from an eating disorder often takes counseling and a different bodyimage perception, Jones said. "I would look into the mirror and just see fat, nothing but failure," Angie said. She said that becoming a Christian is helping her to recover. "It's okay if I lose some battles, but if I lose some battles and stay down, I'm not going to get back up," Angie said.

By USA LAUGHLIN Appalachian Staff Writer L SCOTT PLASTER THE APPALACHIAN Practically everyone is aware of the huge impact drugs have made on society. Yet while the war on drugs rages, one must decide what the actual truth is. The Cannabis Action Network visited our cam­ pus earlier this semester and revealed some star­ tling facts. Many have heard of the drug marijuana. Al­ though presently illegal, Kevin Aplin informed students that marijuana has positive medical uses. Spokesperson for CAN, Aplin said that presently 37 people across the nation hold prescriptions for this drug. This is an extremely small number con­ sidering its many uses. Marijuana reduces the nausea caused by chemo­ therapy and also reduces loss of muscle control caused by muscle spasms in paraplegic and quad­ riplegic patients. It also has positive effects on anxiety, depression, pain, asthma and glaucoma patients. Marijuana is non-toxic. It is safer than alcohol, tobacco, aspirin, other synthetic drugs and many foods. It is estimated that if marijuana was legal, it could replace 30-40 percent of more harm­ ful pharmaceuticals, such as valium, presently on the market. So why is marijuana illegal? According to Dale Kirkley, representative of the Substance Abuse Education Program, marijuana is illegal because it is dangerous. The information supplied by the Wellness Cen­ ter includes that marijuana can causechromosomal breakdown, birth defects, breakdown of immune systems, reduction of sex hormones (which can lead to impotence in males) and lung cancer. Smok­ ing one joint is equal to smoking a pack of ciga­ rettes. Besides being used for medical reasons and fabric, the hemp plant can also be used for oils, twine and paper. Hemp paper would cut down on the depletion of our forests. Seventy to 80 percent of trees have been cut down to make paper, and they take years to grow back. Hemp grows back annually and is 100 percent biodegrad­ able. If hemp was used as fuel rather than stripmining for fossil fuels such as coal, not only would it be cheaper, but it would also decrease the greenhouse effect. By growing the plants and then burning them, it balances the oxygen-C02 cycle. Also by burning hemp for fuel, the sulfur that causes acid rain is not emitted.

Dr. Linda Weiner, coauthor of "The Lecherous Professor: Sexual Harassment on Campus," came to Appalachian last week to speak to students and faculty. Weiner defined sexual harassment as"any form of sexual discrimination." Regardless of whether a man makes an inappropriate remark to a woman or makes a sexual pass, he is harassing her. By spreading awareness, Weiner hopes that most people will speak out about sexual harass­ ment. She believes that it is part of our culture and is prevalent in the workplace and on campus. In fact, as many as one-third of the women enrolled in school will experience sexual harassment. SEXUAL HARASSMENT-AMERICA'S NEW HOT TOPIC; Dr. Linda Weinerdiscussed her book, "The Lecherous Professor: Sexual Harassment on Campus," last week on campus. After the speech, Weiner met with students to give them the opportunity to share harassment experiences. The number of incidents of harassment are even higher in the office. As many as 50-60 percent of women havereported being annoyed bydistasteful jokes, pin-ups, or any type of touching or language that has made them uncomfortable. Not only is sexual harassment unethical, it is also illegal. Appalachian, along with other cam­ puses, has a policy clearly stating what harassment is. The policy says that if a faculty member prom­ ises a reward or threatens a punishment through sexual favors, that person is sexually harassing another. Every student has aright to be on acampus free of hostility. Weiner stated that there are no common charac­ teristics for asexual harasser, although many people expect them to look dangerous or have a "hijacker profile." Likewise, there are no typical victims. Harassers may target a victim whether he/she is young or old, pretty or plain. However, Weiner has noticed several cases where the victims had been abused as children. This could be because of the low selfesteem these victims may have. Since they have already been mistreated, the victims think they do not deserve better treatment and do not report their harassers. One major problem that the student may en­ counter is being terrified of entering a classroom again. They may feel uncomfortable about offend­ ing their professor and consider the incident their own fault. Also, other students may turn against the victim because of all the attention he/she is getting from the professor. Victims who are sexually harassed suffer more than simple annoyance. Many become angry, up­ set and have a hard time understanding the situa­ tion. Others may become physically ill with stom­ ach achesor headaches.Isolation is also acommon symptom. Weiner is angered by the way men react to the problem ofsexual harassment.M any situations are not taken seriously by men, or they do not handle the cases appropriately. She is often asked the question "Don't women sexually harass men, too?" Although it is logically possible, Weiner said, the occurrences are rare when compared to how often men harass women. Those who have been sexually harassed need to share their experiences with people who would like to know and help. Through this type of open communication and education, perhaps the rise of sexual harassment will stop. Summer venture follows King Arthur legend By AMY C. CAMPBELL Appalachian Staff Writer "Chasing a myth." These are the words Dr. Robert Lysiak uses to describe his Summer Study Abroad trip entitled Arthurian Britain: Legend, Landscape and Litera­ ture. The four week trip begins June 1 in London. The group will have four days to "get their feet on the ground," get over jet lag and enjoy the sites as well as the different culture. The trip will enable students to receivesix hours credit through two courses: ENG 3531 "Arthurian Britain" and ENG 3532 "Arthur in Legend and Literature." The group will travel the same paths as the Arthur characters as they study these courses. Sights along the way include Glastonbury, Ply­ mouth, Newcastle, York and Stratford where they will visit the Globe Theatre and Shakespeare's birthplace. Along the way, the group will also note literary legends who travelled the same path, such as Robin Hood, Dracula and the House of Baskervilles. Lysiak stresses that students will have most nights and weekends free to do what they wish. He wants each student to have the experience they have always dreamed of in Europe., Once the group returns to London, they will take day trips to Oxford, Canterbury and the South. There will be free time during this final week in London for students to plan their own excursions. Accommodations in London will be a budget hotel which is geared for student use. Outside of London, bed and breakfast houses will be used. These accommodations are included in the esti­ mated S2,900. This approximate cost includes full tuition, roundtrip air fare from Charlotte-LondonCharlotte, transportation in England, international student ID card, insurance, ASU administrative fee, most trip program funds (museum fees, the- aters) and trip contingency funds. Dr. Bruce Dick, who took a similar trip this past summer, said,"It's worth going into debtover...I'm ready to go again!" Lysiak conducted a meeting about the trip last Tuesday night where he discussed the trip with interested students and presented a slide show of the places they would be visiting. Every student was ready to board the airplane and go! Another meeting will be held in January where Lysiak will ask for commitments to the trip. Lysiak welcomes questions and may be con­ tacted in office 133 Sanford Hall or at 262-2312. Angel Tree helps needy ASU books go to Poland By HEATHER TRUDGEON Appalachian Staff Writer By SPENCER KNIGHT Appalachian Staff Writer All Appalachian students are aware of the fre­ quent "Dead Book" sales held by the University Bookstore. These are often titled "All you can carry" sales. When these sales arc over, however, these books have no placeto go except the dumpster. This is a tremendous waste of resources. Even though the books are worn, they are certainly usable, and most are under three years old. The opportunity presented itself when Andrzej Kosmala, president of a business university in Poland, came to visit his brother, Dr. Wiltol Kosmala, a math professor at ASU. Andrzej Kosmala came to pursue the possibility of Appala­ chian professors teaching in Poland. He learned about the marketing, finance and economics texts through campus bookstore manager Roby Triplett. These books are out of date in the United States, but they will be a welcome asset to the Bielska Akademia Business 'U in Bielkso-Biala, Poland. "Polish students cannot afford to buy these books, and they are essential to us right now," Andrzej Kosmala stated. The A.P.P.S. Angel Tree allows student groups and organizations a chance to show their Christ­ mas spirit by giving to the community of Boone. The Appalachian Popular Programming Soci­ ety Executive Cabinet sponsors the Angel Tree each year in order to benefit needy families in the Boone community. The project was started five years ago by Lane Newsome, then A.P.P.S. president. The original idea behind the project was A.P.P.S.' wanting to give something to the community of Boone in addition to the services they provided to the stu­ dents. Buying gifts for the less fortunate was the per­ fect project. Without the help of A.P.P.S. and the students on campus, many of these families would not be able to afford gifts for Christmas. Since the Angel Tree project was started five years ago, the response has grown tremendouslv each year. Last year over 300 students, faculty and staff members participated in the AngelTree project by buying gifts for needy families in Boone. See BOOKS page7 ANGEL TREE IN STUDENT UNION: A.P.P.S. is sponsoring the angel tree for the fifth year at ASU. Individuals and organizations are encouraged to pick an angel off of the tree to support a needy Boone family during Christmas. The deadline for getting the gifts is Monday Dec. 2, See ANGEL page 8 �L The Appalachian. Tuesday. November 76 1QQ1 Need Extra Cash After The Holidays? Hemp Continued from page 5 A An Check with Student Publications if you are interested in selling 7 992 yearbooks! Todd Lewis, a sophomore, described his views as indifferent. "I'm sympa­ thetic, but I don't think there is a possibil­ ity of it becoming legal. It would cut down on deforestation, butitdoesn'thave a chance." Presently marijuana is listed by the government as a Schedule 1 drug, which means it is dangerous and has no known medical use. Petitions will be sent to try to change marijuana's classification to a Schedule 2 drug which would make it legal for medical use, since it has been proven by Francis L. Young, an adminis­ trative law judge, that it is not addictive, has no lethal effects and is probably the safest therapeutic drug for man. _ Kirkley, of the Substance Abuse Edu­ cation Program, "encourage(s) students to really know what they're dealing with." He explained that marijuana is "not with­ out the potential to be addicting." He described the addiction to marijuana as more subtle than most drugs, and that it is more psychological than physical, yet physical dependence can develop with high doses daily. The withdrawal symp­ toms include agitation and stomach pain. Even more disturbing is the amotivational syndrome.

Inc j �-Ihe Appalachian. Tuesday November 26. 1991 Angel Continued from page 5 The A.P.P.S. members are in charge of delivering the gifts to the families each year. Members who participate say that delivering the gifts to the families is a heart-touching experience. To see the re­ daction of the families is gratifying because without the Angel Tree the families would have nothing. This year, rather than delivering the gifts, A.P.P.S. will have the parents pick up the gifts at the Broyhill Inn and Confer­ ence Center. This will prevent the chil­ dren from seeing their Christmas gifts delivered by college students, whichcould be confusing to the children. A.P.P.S. president Matt McNaney said, "Hopefully this year, parent self-esteem will benefit from our program as well as the happiness of children." The Angel Tree is a wonderful oppor­ tunity for students to join together in a service project. Many people often don't realize how many less fortunate people there are in the Boone community. A.P.P.S. urges student organizations,resi­ dence halls, classes and other groups to join together and make this "a Christmas of giving." The Angel Tree is currently on display outside of the Sweet Shop in the student union.Students are asked to pick an angel from the tree then and take it to room 204 of student programs. After taking the an­ gel to room 204, you will be provided with the person's name and a list of his or her needs. Many students and faculty across cam­ pus have already expressed a tremendous amount of interest in this year's Angel Tree. Students are urged to pick their angel and get the gifts assoon as possible. Gifts are currently being accepted in Student Programs, room 204 of the Plemmons Student Union. A.P.P.S. asks that all gifts be turned in by Monday, Dec. 2. A.P.P.S. would also appreciate any effort you could make to have the gifts wrapped before you bring them to the Student Programs office.

I-AA Playoff Pairings The Appalachian Photo oy trey norick APPS SHINE IN OPENER: ASU junior forward Steve Spurlock glides in for two of his 19 points during Appalachian State's 87-64 triumph over the Lions of Mars Hill. Junior guard Billy Ross paced the Mountaineers with 23 points, nailing 10 of 14 shots from the field. The Appalachian State Mountaineers tipped off their 1991-92 basketball season Saturday by manhandling Mars Hill, 8764, in Varsity Gym. Junior guard Billy Ross led the way for the Mountaineers, pouring in 23 points on 10 for 14 field goal shooting. Ross also connected on all three of his three-point attempts. Senior forward Steve Spurlock also slammed home19 points for the Apps. ASU, which ranked eighth in the nation a year ago in field goal percentage, shot57 percent as a team for the game. "I don't think we shot the ball great," ASU Head Coach Tom Apke said. "We just got great shots." The Mountaineers, bolstered by the re­ turn of fifth-year seniorpointguardRodney Peel, also played aggressive defense throughout the contest. Appalachian lim­ ited the Lions to just 42 percent shooting for the game and forced 23 Mars Hill turnovers. "Our defense played extremely well. I don't think we ever lost our defensive intensity the whole game," Apke ex­ plained. "For us to be a better team than last year, we're going to have to keep that up. What we did defensively throughout the game was important in this game and for the season." "They really picked up the defensive pace," Mars Hill Head Coach David Riggins said. "I know they are awfully athletic and very well coached." "The good news about them is that we don't have to see them again this year," Riggins quipped. The Apps took firm control of the game in the first half, canning 60 percent of thenfield goal tries to vault to a 43-21 intermis­ sion lead. Mars Hill, meanwhile, shot a paltry 27 percent in the opening half, hit­ ting just 10 of 37 attempts. "We got some great shots early on, but we couldn't get one to go in the bucket," Riggins said. "We really missed some easy baskets early that might have shed a different light on this ballgame. "We knew what to expect from these guys. We made some key mistakes early on and just couldn't recover," Riggins said. "You can't afford to make that many mistakes against a team like Appalachian." The physically dominantMountaineers also used their muscle to pound the ball inside, and as a result, went to the foul line 17 times in the first half. The Lions did not go to the charity stripe in the opening half. The Moutaineers raced out to an early 6-0 lead, before the Lions cut the gap to 86. Ross then set the tone for the game by drilling three straight three-point shots, pushing the Apps to a 17-6 cushion. "Billy Ross is an explosive scorer," Apke said. He's a tough matchupfor Mars Hill and a tough matchup for anybody because he can shoot the outside shot and also get the ball inside." Leading 31-17, the Mountaineers held the Lions without a point for over fiveand-a-half minutes late in the first half. ASU went on a 10-0 run to take their biggest lead of the half at 41-17, with just over a minute to go. The Mountaineers again opened strong in the second half, and a 12-4 spurt gave the Apps a 62-34 cushion. Spurlock tooR charge during the burst with three dunks, putting Appalachian comfortably ahead midway through the second half. Senior forwardTim Powers, who played in the contest despite suffering from the flu, sank two free throws togive theMoun­ taineers their widest margin of the after­ noon, 75-43, with just over seven minutes to play. Mars Hill responded with an 18-6 spree that closed the gap to 20 points, 81-61, with over a minute remaining, but the Lions could get no closer. Freshman for­ ward Chad McClendon's dunk at the buzzer gave the Apps the 87-64 triumph.

Quarterback Michael Payton led the Thundering Herd, completing 13 of 19 passes for 210 yards and two touchdowns. In the process, Payton completed a recordsetting year, setting a new Division I-AA season mark for passingeffiency at182.85. Marshall kicker Dewey Klein joined in the record-setting fun, booting ninePAT's to push him into first-place on the SC alltime scoring list with 304 points. Kirk Roach of Western Carolina held the pre­ vious mark with 302 points. Marshall ends the regular season 8-3 overall and 5-2 in the Southern Confer­ ence, good for a second-place finish. The Thundering Herd will now advance to the firstround of theplayoffs, where they will host Western Illinois. Marshall was the only Southern Conference school to re­ ceive an at-large bid. The game Saturday was the last for ETSU Head Coach Don Riley, who re­ signed earlier in the month. The Bucca­ neers finish the season 1-10 and 0-7 in league play.

The Lady Apps were tied with MSU, 60-60, before Morehead State guard Shannon Litton nailed a back-toback three pointer to spark the squad's rout of the Lady Apps. Lady Eagle Beverly Smith followed Litton by scoring two baskets and forcing App State to call a timeout. The Lady Mountaineers never came within seven points ior the remain­ der of the game. Leading the way for Morehead State was Beth Ousley and Litton, who finished with a game high19 points apiece and five and three rebounds respectively. Other players scoring in double figures for the Lady Eagles included Beverly Smith with 14 points and a game high 14 rebounds, Julie Magrane with 17 points and nine rebounds and Stacey Spake with 11 points, eight rebounds and a game high six assists and four steals. "She (Litton) was not anticipated. She lit up whenever and wherever. We ex­ pected 33 (Ousley) tobe a dominant force," Robinson said. Robinson pointed to a couple of keys as the difference in the game. "We were getting boards, but we couldn't put the chipper in. We struggled to score," she said. "We never had five focused people on the floor. We let them push us around and we had no composure on defense and tried to rush too early offensively. We have to do something different." ASU's Lynch was the high scorer for the Lady Mountaineers with 18 points. She also dishqd out three assists in her first appearance with the App State squad. Robinson was impressed with the per­ formance of Lynch, a transfer from the University of Illinois-Chicago. "Sheryl had an excellent first night out. She did some really good things. She scored and pushed the ball well. I am well pleased," Robinson said. Senior center Shannon Thomas, work­ ing off a knee injury from last season that kept her out of nine games, scored 16 points and grabbed a team-high 13 re­ bounds. Other key players for the Lady Moun­ taineers included junior foward Regina Ikard who totaled 10 points and eight rebounds and senior guard Mitzi Story with 11 points, three assists and three steals. Roberson led the game in assists with six for the Lady Apps. Despi te theloss, Robinson remains con­ fident of the ability of her squad, "We are working out the kinks; we are a better ball club than this. Morehead State is pre­ season fourth in their conferencee and they generally start out strong and then struggle at the end. We do the reverse; at least, I'm hoping that is the case," Robinson explained. The Lady Mountaineers will host Radford tonight beginning at 7 p.m. in Varsity Gym before travelling to Harrisonburg, Va. to compete in the James Madison NielsonToumament with squads from James Madison, Robert Morris and Charleston. ill Debbie Mc Mullen MOREHEAD STATE TOO MUCH FOR LADY APPS: ASU senior forward Shannon Thomas fires a shot against Morehead State Saturday in Varsity Gym. Appalachian Htwto by �Save the rainforests... a n d 111 arguably its stiffest test of the season when it faces Appalachian, the top-ranked defensive team in the Southern Confer­ ence. The Mountaineers have surrendered only 17 points per game this season. Junior linebacker Rico Mack anchors ASU's defensive unit, posting nine tack­ les per contest. Senior free safety Gary Dandridge leads a stingy ASU pass de­ fense that has intercepted 16 passes through 11 games this season. Meanwhile, the Colonels appear just as strong defensively. Eastern allowed just 17 points over the last three games of the regular season and held teams to under 10 points six different times this year. Appalachian will try to attack the Colo­ nels with the running of freshman tailback Chip Hooks, theSouthern Conference allpurpose yardage leader. Hooks rushed for 1,062 yards this season and was Appalachian's second-leading receiver. Quarterback D.J. Campbell directs an effective passing game for Appalachian and has been intercepted only four times this season while tossing seven touch­ downs. Anthony Smith, Kemal Atkins, Ray Gama and A1 Ellis give Campbell a wide array of receiving weapons. While the Mountaineers were assured of getting a bid to the playoffs, as many as three other Southern Conference teams entered the final week of the regular sea­ son with hopes of getting an at-large bid. Marshall, however, was theonly otherSC squad to get a bid and will host Western Illinois Saturday. The Thundering Herd finished theregular season 8-3 and ranked eighth in the country, whileWestern is 7-3-1 and ranked 14th. Other first round playoff games have top-ranked Nevada hosting McNeese State, Villanova traveling to face Youngstown State, James Madison at Delaware, Samford at New Hampshire, Sam Hous­ ton State at Middle Tennessee State and Weber State at Northern Iowa. "I didn't exactly like the thought of playoffs when I came to Appalachian three years ago, but with this being our second trip in three seasons, I don't see why the IA schools don't go for the idea," Moore commented. "I think the playoffs are great, and our people are really excited about them." Should the Mountaineers win Satur­ day, they would face the winner of the Sam Houston State-Middle Tennessee State contest on Dec. 7. The site for that game, which would be a national quarterfinal contest, is yet to be deter­ mined, but it is possible ASU would be the host team. t h e p a Intramural Winners Commentary writers needed immediately Tennis Singles — Kerri Morgan Doubles — Kathy Collins & Connie Raynor Mixed Doubles — James Glover & Joelly White Please call Tracy Tarleton at 262-3104 or stop by room 31 Workman Hall Horseshoes Singles — David Hamrick & Mary luPr?

We probably all know the earliest celebration of Thanksgiving occurred when the pilgrims had a feast with the Indians to give thanks for arriving safely in the New World after a long difficult voyage on the Mayflower. A less widely-known fact is that President Abraham Lincoln was the one who estab­ lished Thanksgiv ing as a national holiday to be celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. It has been a pessimistic year—a war, recession, rising tuition costs, increase in crime—the list could probably continue. Those who are real glass-is-half-empty types probably think there really isn't much to be thankful for this year. Yes, the country, the university and maybe you personally are going through some troubled times right now. People may not be able to forget that there are problems. But let's use Thanksgiving Day as the one day out of the year when we can take time out and forget about what's wrong with the world and focus on what we have to be thankful for. Yes, we went to war this year. There has been much debate over whether or not we should have gone. War is never good. Many lives were lost in the Gulf War that should not have been lost. The main thing we can be grateful for about the Gulf War was that it was over quickly, and we won. We can be grateful that it did not last as long as Vietnam, and that although one life lost is one too many, we can be thankful that no more lives were lost than were. Also, democracy is spreading through Eastern Europe and even into the Soviet Union. Now, citizens of other countries can enjoy the economic and personal freedoms that Americans have almost taken for granted. . We are in a recession, but it could be worse. During the Great Depression, the unemployment rate was almost 25 percent, and the average family had to struggle just to put food on the table. ASU just recognized Hunger and Homeless Week. This was a time for the community to think about how much we take for granted the fact that we do have enough to eat Having enough to eat, especially in a time of economic downturn, is certainly something to be thankful for. On the local scale, we attend school in one of the most beautiful states in the UnitedStates. Not many other states can boast of having both mountains and beaches within a few hundred miles of each other. North Carolina does have hot summers, but the winters are mild—within a year we can see both hot sunshine and a few inches of snow. Also, we attend one of the most prestigious universities in the Southeast. Appalachian ranks third in the state in SAT scores of entering freshmen, ranking only behind Carolina and N.C. State, respectively. ASU is reputed to have the best education program in North Carolina and one of the top business schools in the country. Many corporations will not do their hiring in the spring until the middle of May when the ASU College of Business has its graduation. In spite of its popularity, ASU has managed to remain small. ASU puts emphasis on a low faculty-student ratio. Budget cuts have made this difficult, but ASU's facultystudent ratio is still much lower than larger universities. In what class at ASU would you have 500 students, as you quite possibly would at Carolina or State? Tuition costs have risen, so if you were able to come back to school this year, it is something to be thankful for—many students were unable to. And if you are on a scholarship or were able to get financial aid, this is also something tobe thankful for, as aid forstudents is decreas­ ing due to budget cuts. Having the intelligence and diligence to get into ASU is also something to be thankful for. ASU is becoming more and more difficult to get into as the administration is trying to keep its small size while more and more people are applying. Then there are small things to be thankful for, things we usually don't think about but we always appreciate. Ex­ ams end earlier this year. Those of you upperclassmen probably remember a time or two when you had an exam on the lastday and weren't able to go homeuntil five days before Christmas. This year, even if you can't go home until the last day, you still have nine days between exams and Christmas. Those of you who stay in Boone and work through Christmas may still be finished studying for exams earlier than you would have in the past Also, due to the fact that Thanksgiving comes as late as it possibly can this year, Christmas is almost here. The malls and shopping centers are decorated, the angel tree has been in place in the student union, and last night I noticed a Christmas tree in the Pub. I got my inspiration for this column a few days ago when I made my personal listof things I could be thankful for—terrific parents who have taughtme right from wrong and still love me when I mess up; a younger sister and brother who have made being a big sister an enjoyable experience; other relatives who are always there when I need them; a handsome, intelligent, mature, loving, won­ derful boyfriend; a best friend who is also my roommate (who never complains when I turn on Tom Petty while she's trying to translate Spanish); great friends; a job at which I can be creative and enjoy myself; awesome co­ workers (who easily fit into the "great friends"category); church groups here and at home and great pastors in both places; good professors who have taught me a lot here at ASU; and then there are small things like Mexican food and chocolate...the list goes on. That's my personal list. Everyone's will be different, but if we think hard enough we can all find a few things to be thankful for. Thursday is Thanksgiving Day. If we are pessimistic enough in the way we view the world, we can always ask ourselves, "What is there to be thankful for?"But Thanks­ giving Day is the one day out of the year when we can do as the pilgrims did in the 17th century—take time out to look at the good things about who we are, where we've come and what we have going for us, and give thanks. Duke will not be giving in to failure ' By JIM WILLIAMS Appalachian Staff Writer "This is not what I meant at all; That is not it at all." —T.S. Eliot This morning I was up early thinking about failure. Not that failure is something that usu­ ally demands much of my attention. That is not to say that I don't fail, just that when I do fail I don't agonize much over it.I just get back up on it and try to make the next jump. Unfortunately, I am not the only human being on the face of this earth that has this approach do wn. It lookslike David Duke, the Klan-Man from Bama, is about ready to re-mount and look on down the road to that next wall. Duke, having recently lost his bid for the gubernatorial post in Louisiana, has recently announced that he will seek the Republican nomination for thepresidency of the United States in 1992. Of course, most commentators on the subject so far have stuck to the word "might" and avoided the word "will." This is not cowardice; this is common sense. Just like you don't bury a body that's still warm, you don'tembrace chaos until there is no alternative. Duke himself seems more than confident that he can arrange his peculi ar rhetoric in such a way as to sway a majority of Americans in his direction, and it is more than obvious that he intends to use an odd twist on the public perception of his Klansman's attitudes to seem even more hands-off than the Liber­ tarians as far as government control goes. In an interview on the nightofNov. 18, Duke used this unique twist to suggest that the U.S.'s affirmative action regula­ tions are "the closest thing to Nazi Germany's Nuremberg Rules"we've seen since the fall of the Third Reich. The reader will please postpone his or her attempt to see through the semantic opti­ cal illusion here in order to consider the basis of Duke's statement: affirmative action regulations are, by nature and defi­ nition, racially based rules for the overt governing of racial balance; thus, like the regulations of Nazi Germany, they seek to create a social change by political rear­ rangement of class hierarchies. As far as it goes, he's right. The point of affirmative action is and always has been that the restructuring of the society along racial lines will eventually lead to a re­ structuring of American opinions in re­ gards to racial issues. Of course, the fun­ damental difference between affirmative action and the Nazi purgation of the Jews is one of proximity. Affirmative action assumes that proximity encourages un­ derstanding; the Nazis were going on the assumption that distance is necessary for hatred to take root. And here again, it might be that Duke has a point. Suggest that laws which in­ volve racial privilege will tend to bring about racial jealousy, and thus provoke racial separatism. This is one of your basic intention-and-effect-type things: even if the laws were intended to bring about racial parity, their effect will be to encourage racial separation. VH J hi JO«V Hririw ,ai' .3:* biaow rfotriw Unfortunately, Duke has not yet made to come out and clear his name of all the this leap. He made it clear that his major media-mudslung accusations, safe in the concern is not with racial separation, but knowledge that most Americans were too with racial privilege in itself—his con­ far away to know anything of what ex­ cern is not that affirmative action increases actly was going on, what was said and racial tensions, but that it gives privilege what of what was said was true or remains to non-whites and thus disadvantages true. Once he learns not to lean on the whites. This is essentially, the reader will Christian line or the white line, once he remember, the same logic the Nazis used resolves to make it clear that he is not an to argue for a solution to the "Jewish ideologue but a problem-solver, once he problem," and that the Zionist Jews used gets the American public to buy the idea to argue for the establishment of the State that his main concern is not with what's of Israel less than a decade later. right but rather with what's wrong...

Chinese toys were made by child labor Beware when buying childrenys gifts To the Editor: This past week I noticed that the annual Christmas tree was put up in the student union. I certainly do support the idea of helping the less fortunate during the holiday season and throughout the year. But, I also caution anyone planning to participate in this program by buying toys for the children whose names are on the tree. Many of the toys purchased in this country are made in China, a country known for their suppression of dissenting views and their exploitation of children and others. According to Frontlash, the youth group of the AFTCIO, China made $1.6 billion off toy exports in the first six months of 1990. The United States is the single largest importer of Chinese toys. We buy 55 percent of our dolls from China and 40 percent of all our other toys from the People's Republic of China. Sadly, many of the toys are made by child labor. The Oct. 31, 1988, issue of "Business Week" reported on the long hours many children face in Chinese factories. According to this article, the typical workday is 14 hours long for the children. But for the Christmas rush, girls were ordered to perform two 24hour shifts each month, in order to make Mickey Mouse dolls for the United States. When the toys are not being made by children, prison labor is often substi­ tuted, an illegal practice in international markets, but still one in China with the help of American companies more interested in the bottom line than any sort of basic human rights. It is not only children who must suffer under these conditions. Many Christian religious leaders have been imprisoned. Amnesty International reported in December 1990 that 2,000 police and 270 military vehicles were used to destroy Father Pei's church. At the time, over 300 people were injured, 32 were arrested and two were killed. And the list could go on. It is ironic indeed, that many citizens of this country celebrate Christmas by buying toys made in a country that imprisons leaders of their own faith. I ask that anyone interested in human rights therefore boycott toys made in the People's Republic of China. And I am not the only one endorsing this "toycott." Dr. Fang Lizhi, a Chinese dissident, wrote in a letter to the AFL^ CIO that this "toycott is an excellent means for individual citizens to support democracy and human rights in China and Tibet." Other organizations also support the "toycott" including Humanitas International Human Rights Committee. When you do your holiday shopping this year, check the label and make sure you do not buy toys made in China. Support the Christmas tree program in the student union but also support human rights in China.

According to Feid, tuition at state-sup^ universities is set by the North plina state legislature each year while dot fees are determined by the indi­ um! institution. He North Carolina State constitution that, "The General Assembly shall levide that the benefits of The UniverI of North Carolina and other public (imtions of higher education, as far as rotable, be extended to the people of Slate See of expense." This year, the General Assembly de­ cided to allot an average of $5,900.14 for every full-time student in the university system, said Lynn Holaday, associate vice chancellor for business affairs. The North Carolina state legislature has determined that this year's tuition for an in-state student at a state university with a master's degree program is $676 per year, Feid said. Universities which have doctoral programs, such as the Uni­ versity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, are required by the state legislature to charge more for tuition, Feid said. Tuition increases or decreases must be approved first by the North Carolina Board of Trustees and then by the Board of Governors, according to Feid. Tuition at ASU increased 20.4 percent this year, from $561.50 in 1990-1991 to $676 in 1991-1992, Feid stated.

The College Board reported Oct. 16 that an in-state student at a four-year, public institution paid an average of 12 percent more in academic year1990-91— to a total of $2,137 in tuition fees. Those figures do not include room and board. The cost of education at a public twoyear school rose by 13 percent, or $1,022, and a student at a four-year private school paid seven percent more, or $10,017. College Board officials blamed the in­ crease, the highest since 1983, on tough economic times. "The current recession has had an im­ pact on all sectors of education, public and private," said Donald Steward, presi­ dent of the College Board. "Although we haven't seen double-digit increases for public institutions since 1983, many people expected them this year because of the widely publicized cuts in state bud­ gets. "Ironically, the nation is cutting funds for higher education at a time when its need for a well-educated workforce is growing. At some point, we must realize that such cuts are short-sighted and coun­ terproductive." One of the biggest increases took place in the University of California system, where tuition rose by 40 percent. The University of Oregon raised tuition by nearly one-third. Richard Rosser, president of the Na­ tional Association of Independent Col­ leges and Universities, noted that money problems are nothing new to private schools, which do not have the taxpayer subsidy that public institutions have. "The financial problems now being faced by state institutions are ones that private colleges and universities havebeen trying to deal with for years," Rosser said. Impeachment of SGA officers only rumors, Murphy said |l WANDA NELSON iian News Editor IHUNTER tdachian Staff Writer liors of impeaching the SGA PresiDaryl Ghent and SGA Vice PresiReggie Murphy "have been nipped fcbud," Murphy said Wednesday. "We basically solved the problem last Mil the weekly Senate meeting). The rumors were tearing down our organiza­ tion," Murphy said. Murphy added that he felt the group who was rumored to be attempting the impeachment was not part of SGA. Murphy began Tuesday night's Senate meeting saying that he had heard several senators had made allegations that the SGA Senate was not doing anything be­ cause no bills were being passed. "I'm worried more about the quality of the bills than the quantity," Murphy said. Three bills have been passed this se­ mester, according to Murphy. Proposed impeachment bylaws were passed out at the meeting by the constitu­ tional committee. However, Murphy said that changes in the judicial system have prompted SGA to begin compensating for those changes with new election and im­ peachment bylaws. "Anybody would be a fool now to try something," Murphy said, explaining that there is no procedure for impeaching the officers due to a change in the judicial process.

This would be the only reason a band would not be considered for playing on campus. Ghent presented a report on the progress of a pizza delivery bill.

The com­ mittee said sign-up sheets for a food drive are still available in thestudent union.The drive will last until Christmas break. Some new proposed legislation was presented by the committee on student affairs. They are looking at possible bi­ cycle guidelines, a standard laundry fee and beginning the sale of cigarettes back into the campus market. The SGA will be voting on the student fees next week. Some of the proposed increases include athletic fees, and an increase in the health services fee, inorder to improve services at the infirmary. The proposed increaseincludes an augment in the student activity and book rental fees. The next SGA meeting will include a voting on student fees and will be held on Tuesday in room 103 of Whitener Hall.

He did say they have encountered trouble with bands adhering Appalachian Photo by Jennifer Morris STUDENTS USE ONE OF SEVEN ON-CAMPUS LABS: ASU students Hal Greene and Brack Morton take advantage of the computer lab, which is available to all students for a $15 per semester fee. The ASU Academic Computing Ser­ vice realizes the importance of computers and is attempting to do its part to prepare students for the future by offering com­ puter labs all overcampus, said ACS staff member Joyce Roy. ASU has seven computer labs on cam­ pus containing computers and printers. There is a $15 fee per semester for students to use the labs. Over 4,000 stu­ dents are registered to use the labs. However, anyone who is not registered to use the computers and attempts to ille­ gally use them will be asked to leave the lab, said Roy. The reason for the $15 fee is that gen­ eral administration does not want that fee put on the student body's tuition, said Roy. The computer policy began several years ago whensome students approached the chancellor and asked for better com­ puter facilities. The administration seemed to think that a fee would be the most efficient way to improve the labs, said Director of ACS, Dr. Deanna Bowman. ASU was one of the first North Caro­ lina schools to ask for supplemental fund­ ing in this area to cover the cost of paper, ribbon and the salaries of those who work in the labs, said Bowman. Some other University of North Caro­ lina schools, such as UNC-Chapel Hill and NC State University, charge their students up to $50 for computer lab fees, said Bowman. They also do not have the support that ASU does, said Bowman. In some of the bigger schools the stu­ dents are just thrown into the computer labs to "sink or swim," Bowman said. However, she pointed out that at ASU trained workers are in the labs to help the students with all of the equipment. Each fall and spring semester the ACS holds classes to train people to help stu­ dents in the labs. In addition to these employees, there are also two managersin charge of overseeing the labs. How does the number of computers at ASU compare with others schools? "The numbers arenotwhatcount,"said Bowman. "It's how they are supported that counts." In addition to the people in the labs helping the students, there is also a com­ puter user guide in the ASU bookstore for $2.95. Bowman said the ACS wants ASU students to have every opportunity to use computers effectively in order to compete in the job market later on. The main complaint students seem to have about the labs is there aren't enough printers, and the printers are out of order too often, said Kristen May, ASU junior. Most students register to use the labs as a requirement for a class so it becomes a little inconvenient when the printers are not working, said several students. However, ACS employees, Roy and Bowman contend that every effort is made to keep the equipment in working order or to fix the equipment when it breaks. The computers and printers supplied in the labs are AT&T, IBM and Macintosh and software such as Wordperfect, Lotus, PC-File and Telnet is available. Appalachian's direction merits two thumbs up Consultants approve of Appalachian State Universityfs future direction after evaluating school By TRACY WILLIARD Assistant News Editor Appalachian State University recently received a "vote of confidence from four consultants hired by the Board of Gover­ nors of the University of North Carolina system. The Board of Governors asked all 16 schools in the North Carolina system to submit a proposal covering their univer­ sity hopes and plans for the next 10 years, according to Dr. Bill Ward, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs. The four consultants, who are all past or present university presidents from across the United States, were hired to review each university's proposal and make recommendations to the university. The consultants visited Appalachian's campus several months ago. "We feel largely vindicated by what they (theconsultants) said about ASU and the other North Carolina systems," said Ward. "We proposed in our statement to keep on doing the kind of thing that makes ASU strong in the North Carolina system, and they encouraged us to keep on going in the direction we've been going." According to Ward, the consultants did not approve of several institutions' desire to offer doctoral programs because they feel North Carolina is in need of strong undergraduateeducation right now. "One thing ASU proposed in our mis­ sion review that the consultants did not support was a doctoral program in reha­ bilitation and clinical psychology," said Ward. "One doctorate program that is already planned and will begin as soon as the money comes available is a doctorate in education leadership." According to Ward, this program should begin next fall. ASU's mission within the UNC sys­ tem will not undergo a substantial change right now, according to Ward. According to Ward, the consultants encouraged ASU to continue to pursue planning for a masters degree in com­ puter science, communication mediaman­ agement and liberal studies and a bachelor's level degree in athletic train­ ing. "We are planning these programs, but none of these programs will constitute a major redirection of the university," said Ward. Ward said that if ASU discovers the need for a degree program that they did not propose in the mission review, ASU will consider offering it "Anytime ASU discovers an area of need in the country that a degree program could help, we will look into it," said Ward. "For example, right now there is a need in the United States for more physi­ cal therapists than are being produced from our colleges, so we are currently looking into a degree program in this area." �Resident Assistant Selection Tor 1992-1993 to begin: Applica­ tions are available for resident assistant positions in the Residence Life Office in Hagaman Hall between 8 am. and 5 p.m. Applica­ tions are due by January 17, 1992, at 5 p.m. Orientation sessions will be held from 9:30 to 11 on Dec. 2 and 3 in The Pub, and Dec. 4 in the Forum room.

(CPS)—What do Tylenol, McDonald's, government, foundations. TV talk show host Montel Williams and universities all have in common? They all give money to students for college—some in the form of scholar­ ships, some in grants and some in loans. As the saying goes, "Seek and ye shall find." Just ask John Bear, author of "Finding Money for College." His 157-page guide to scholarships, grants and loans docu­ ments more sources of financial aid for students than just about any other book on the market (cost $6.95 in popular book­ stores everywhere). According to Bear, more than $65 bil­ lion in financial assistance for students goes unclaimed every year. Part of the reason is that some special­ ized scholarships can't find people to meet their criterion. Some examples of the more difficult and unusual: • Scholarships for convicted prostitutes in Seattle. Seriously. The fund was estab­ lished by a judge in the city. • Scholarships for people named Baxendale, Borden, Pennoyer or Murphy. The money is waiting at Harvard. • Sports scholarships in frisbee (at the State University of New York at Pur­ chase) and racquetball (at Memphis State University). • The Charles and Anna Elenberg Foun­ dation grants—awarded to needy Jewish orphans. Of course, most scholarships and grants aren't quite so odd and specific. Usually, the awards specify a geographic area of the country, a field of study or a level in school (graduate, undergraduate, doctoral, etc.) to narrow the field of qualified appli­ cants. Oftentimes, financial need isnot a quali­ fying factor. Experts agree that much of the reason money goes unclaimed is because people aren't aware that it exists. Another reason—"Generally, people don't apply for aid because they feel that they're not eligible," says Joyce Smith, associate executive director of the Na­ tional Association of College Admission Counselors. She and others suggest that anyone in­ terested in applying for aid should follow some basic procedures. First, students should find out what scholarships, grants and loans are avail— able from their schools and their states. This information is available at university financial aid offices. Second, students can research national scholarships and grants through books like Bear's or through some inexpensive pub­ lications like the American Legion's an­ nual "Need A Lift?" which costs $1 and can be obtained by writing to the Ameri­ can Legion at P.O. Box 1050, Indianapo­ lis, Ind. 46206. Other sources of money are corpora­ tions and non-profit organizations that are worthy of investigation. Some examples: • McNeil Consumer Products Co. of­ fers the Tylenol Scholarship Program,giv­ ing a total of $600,000 to students in dl 50 states and the District of Columbia. 'The Tylenol Scholarship Program represents our ongoing, long-term commitment to providing educational opportunities and financial assistance to those students who demonstrate outstanding leadershipskills," McNeil President James T. Lenehan says. • TV talk show host Montel Williams has formed his own non-profit organiza­ tion in Denver called REACH for the American Dream.

Tuition exG r o s e 18 percent in the fall of dentin the fall of 1987 and jntinthefaH of 1983, according to al (k parable ,f tuition and fees at ASU is to tuition and fees at other state universities in North Carolina and in the nation, Feid said. The average cost of tuition and fees at four-year state-funded universities across the country is $2,137, and tuition and fees at ASU this year amount to $1,231, Feid said. North Carolina subsidizes public in­ stitutions at a higher rate than many other states do. And therefore, it [tuition at universities in the North Carolina system] becomes a bargain," Feid said. According toPatsy Braxton,director of financial aid at ASU, the amount of finan­ cial aid money allotted to ASU increased this year over last year despite state bud­ get constraints. The increase in financial aid funds is due to a new grant program affected by the state and by an increase in student loan applications, Braxton said. In order to obtain financial aid fundsfor state universities, the NorthCarolina Gen­ eral Assembly applies directly to the fed­ eral government, and when funds are allo­ cated, the university system decides how much money, based on student enroll­ ment, to allot to ASU, Braxton said.

Richard Wilbur's 'Tartuffe" is a new version of one of the greatcomedies of the French theater. The story is a farce of morals. The title character is a hypocrite who, under the guise of a man of religion, entrenches himself in the good graces of Orgon (Bob Haas), head of an upper middle-class household.

Ac e porting actress Oscar in "Cactus Flower," portrays the deceived wife of Jack Saunders. Hawn acts out her dramatic role somewhat casually throughout the movie. Events which call for expressions of an­ ger, surprise, fear or sadness all seem to mesh into one constant look. Hawn seems to be another dumb character while the mystery unfolds. First impressions are proved wrong by her critical display of intelligence at the end. Ashley Peldon, famous for her role as Marah Lewis on "The Guiding Light," played the little girl, Mary. She gave an excellent performance. Her warm smile and dancing eyeslit up the screen in her portrayal of a happy, carefree and innocent child. The pieces of the mystery are hard to put together, because the movie moves so slowly. The first25 to 30 minutes contain absolutely no clues. The audience is left wondering when something meaningful is going to happen. Action eventually begins when Adrienne suspects her hus­ band of lying.

"It's really shown through in the amount of people who now listen to the band." "They are very energetic on stage," said WASU Music Director Craig Glasheen. "The second they hit stage it is a non-stop rock 'n' roll show." "Fly Me Courageous" is the band's fourth release. Previous albums include "Scarred but Smarter," "Whisper Tames the Lion" and "Mystery Road." "Their performance last year really es­ tablished them as a rock band," said Maupin.

Adrienne suspects her husband of noth­ ing. Perhaps flashbacks couldhave served to clarify any confusions. "Deceived" causes people to ask them­ selves important questions about life and love. After watching this movie, it is easy to understand how easily blind trust is given to those we love. In this movie, Adrienne is living in a world which does not exist. She is forced into a struggle for her life against a man she thought loved her. The themes within "Deceived" revolve around identity and relationships. Hawn said, "The question in this movie is, 'If he isn't who I think he is, then who am I?' Many of us have a tendency to identify ourselves by those we love, and our image is reflected by them. Director of photography Jack Green said, "In the beginning, the picture is a love story and is bright, warm and lush. Then a tragedy occurs, and the lushness disappears. There are still wonderful tex­ tures, but they're very black and white.

The 1991-92 starters are: Donnell Rawls at 118, Todd Miller at 126, Ivan Neely at 134, Victor Balmeceda at 142, Kyle Kuykendall at 150, Adrian Hines at 158, Corey Creech at 167, Bill Baker at 177 and Tory Maiden, Heavyweight. "We're set for the first match. We have our starters until someone challenges and knocks them out," Head Coach Paul Mance said. "I expect a pretty good season. Our team is good, young and talented. We're strong in the lights and middleweights. We may have a real good team. An unexpected upset for Coach Mance came in the 126 weightclass with freshman Todd Miller defeating junior Jeff Wheeler in his first college match ever. Out of a total of 18 starters, there are actually 7 freshmen. "There are quite a few freshmen in the lineup. Some real good recruits came in. I think they're going to do a real good job for us," Assistant Coach Joe Boitnotte said. The freshman starters have made agood impres­ sion on the ASU wrestlers. Sophomore Kyle Kuykendall commented, "We have a lot of good freshmen this year that really want to wrestle and work hard.This will help out the team a lot." Junior Bill Baker also commented, "There are lots of good attitudes on the team. The new guys brought in good attitudes." A close battle in the match came in the 150 weightclass between Chad Collins and Kyle Kuykendall, in what Mance called a "down to the wire" match. "I knew it would be a lough match," said Kuykendall. "We've always battled well in the room. Chad had a lot of mat time last year as a starting freshman. We'll both get good mat time this year." Kyle Kuykendall won the match at 5-2. Both wrestlers are sophomores. The team is highly optimistic about the upcom­ ing season, but their biggest worry is in the upperweights. "Our main concern is in the upperweights," Mance commented. "We have two upperweights out for injuries. John Reynolds (190) is out for the season due to a shoulder injury. That situation will be missed." Mance is hoping to gain a transfer heavyweight in the spring semester, or to possibly recruit a football player when football season is finished. Some wrestlers, however, refuse to be discour­ aged by the lack of strength in the upperweights. "We shouldn't lose more than three (matches) at the most. That's the worst scenario," commented Collins. "This is the most exceptional team in ASU's history, but it'll take a lot of hard work from everybody on the team." "With lots of hard work and exceptional wrestlers, we should win the Southern Conference and possibly go undefeated in the season," said junior All-Ameiican Victor Balmeceda. "We'll accomplish that by 'no mistake' wrestling. In col­ lege wrestling, if you make a mistake, you lose. It's not a matter of points, but rather the least mistakes made. I think we could have three or four AU-Americans in the nation this year." The ASU Wrestling Team travels to Chapel Hill this Saturday for the Carolina Open. Men's Action The Apps compiled 466 points in the district meet to finish 18th overall in a race with competi­ tors from 50 squads throughout the South. "I was pleased with our overall performance. It was a good meet and will give us something to build on," ASU Head Coach A1 Fereshetian said. Sophomore Billy Pemberton led the Mountain­ eers clocking 32:38 on the 10-kilometer course to finish 61st overall in a field of 272 runners. Freshman Brian Miesch followed Pemberton and finished with a time of 32:58, while senior Steve Simandle clocked 33:21. The ASU top five were rounded out by senior Mike Bowers with a time of 33:45 and freshman Mark Noble turning in a 34:05 performance. Western Kentucky runner Sean Do11man cap­ tured the race with a time of 30:27, while SC champions ETSU took the meet honors totaling 101 points. North CarolinaState and UNC-Chapel Hill followed ETSU. MOUNTAINEERS DETERMINE STARTERS: Appalachian State's wrestling team determined starters for its first match Tuesday night at the Black and Gold intrasquad match in Varsity Gymnasium. Chad Collins, in black, and Kyle Kuykendall, in gold, battle for a starting position. From the Bleachers Contests designed to boost basketball spirit Two contests have been announced to encour­ age student spirit and involvement at ASU home basketball games, accTding to ASU Assistant Ath­ letic Director Mark Dreibelbis. The Nov. 25 home game againstGeorgia Southem will be Greek Spirit Night, sponsored by Domino's Pizza. "Georgia Southern is a new entry to the Southem Conference, and we [want to] show them what it's like to play on another team's home court in the conference," Dreibelbis explained. "We want to create a festive home atmosphere." The contest is open to all groups on campus. The group that displays the most creativity and shows the most spirit will win 20 large pizzas from Domino's Pizza in Boone. Another contest is slated for the ASU-UNC Charlotte contest on Dec. 2. At halftime of the game. Domino's will sponsor a pizza eating con­ test. The contest will be open to 25 student organiza­ tions on campus. Dreibelbis said the organizations must register for the contest at the Sports Information Office, and entries will be awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis. The organizations should provide a name of a student represen­ tative. The object of the contest is to see who can eat one-half of a medium Domino's pizza the fastest. The winner will receive 20 large pizzas as a prize. "We want to say thanks to our students and create a fun environment at the games," Dreibelbis said. Three on three results The intramural three on three basketball tourna­ ment was held last weekend. Out of the 20 teams that entered, the Dicemen walked away with the championship. Only two women's teams en­ tered the contest, and the Boozettes won that game. Volleyball tourney set The four on four volleyball tournament will be held in the Quinn Center this weekend.

Brenda Dennehey was the individual winner from Western Kentucky finishing at 16:53. North Carolina State captured the team title, totaling 61 points followed by the University of Georgia with 115 and the University of Virginia scoring 130. Weaver was pleased with the performance of the Lady Apps for the season, "We moved up in the districts from 23rd last year, finished second in the NCCC (NorthCarolinaCollegiate Championships) and won the conference. We had a very successful season. The seniors (Wallace, Anderson, Davis, Osada and Free) are to be commended. They cre­ ated a great team feeling and were the backbone of the squad. These girls will graduate undefeated in the conference. Next year will be a crucial one for us; our young leaders (Babb and Disher) will have to provide inspiration for the others.

"Apply today and get up to Contribute to others this holiday season The season of giving is approaching. Within a month, two of each year's most giving holidays will come and go. Although fortunate students, faculty and staff members should think of those less fortunate throughout each day of the year, the upcoming holiday season provides the greatest number of opportunities to get involved. Share your wealth; give to those in need. Several Appalachian clubs and organizations are providing ways for everyone to help. This week marked the national recognition of the hungry and homeless. Active Students for the Community sponsored a fast and a fcpout on Sanford Mall to raise awareness and money for those in need in thearea. WASU, the campus radio station, also contributed to the awareness if the hunger/homeless plight, as the station held its third annual music marathon to raise money for the Watauga County Hunger Coalition this week. Money raised from the fast went to the Hunger Coalition as well as the Hospitality House and the Habitat for Humanity. These local organizations welcome all volunteers and donations. Students, My and staff can give of their time as well as their money. Campus organizations are doing their part to raise awareness and funding, but everyone can do more. Do what you can. While the homeless need your help, others, with homes, are barely able to survive each day. Many children are forced to live in cold, cramped condi­ tions,with little food orclothing. Appalachian Popular Programming Society ^providing the names of needy children and adults to those who wish to give fcChristmas. The names are located on the Angel Tree in the Plemmons Student Union, and can be picked up by anyoneinterested in helping someone Save a happy Christmas. Clothing, in addition to toys, can obviously mean ®re to someone that doesn't have, than to someone who does. Give generously. Take a child's name from the Angel Tree and give the gifts that fad to happiness. More information on the Angel Tree can be obtained by ®lling Student Programs at 262-3032. Student Government Association is also providing an opportunity to help •lose less fortunate, as SGA is sponsoring a canned food and clothing drive 6" the area's needy. Donations of clothes go to area shelters for distribution, "Wecanned goods are sent to theHunger Coalition. A number of students, Mty and staff members have closets full of unused clothes. Fortunate ones ^several itemsof outgrown or unwanted clothing. Help others bycleaning Myourclosets, or by providing the hungry with canned food items.

The special events in the upcoming month remind ®ofhow special our lives are and make us aware of numerous things to be *ful for. While giving thanks this holiday season, give generously of yourself so others will have happy holidays as well. Give of your time and *resources to help those that don't have to give. $1,000 credit!" ads scream. Or, "Become a Student Card member today and get three round trips on Continen­ tal Airlines for only $129 or $189 each," (American Express) or "No annual fee the first year!" Several times each semester, booths are set upin thestudent union to talk students into applying for all kinds of credit cards— Mastercard, Visa, Discover and gas cards. Some compa­ nies will even offer incentives, such as giving away a box of M&M's or a Dr. Pepper to the student who fills out at least two applications. Yes, it is easier and more convenient than ever for a college student to get a credit card. All one has to do is either go by the student union when booths containing applications are setup, fill out an application and get a free box of M&M's, or go by any bulletin board in almost any building on campus and take an application from the pocketfuls that are thumbtacked to the board. A college student who goes filling-out-application-crazy could eas­ ily have five different Visas from five different compa­ nies, at least as many Mastercards, a Discover card and several different types of gas cards—a wallet full of plastic! It is certainly convenient and almost necessary for anyone who is even partially financially independent to own a credit card. Many stores, major department store chains such as Belk's and Penney's in particular, will not Everyone should be warned of the dangers of giving away credit card numbers over the phone, unless the card owner is the person who made the call. An advantage of having a credit card is mail-ordering. Many companies such as Land's End have a 24-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week toll-free number in which the buyer can call and charge his or her purchases.This method of ordering is much simpler and quicker than filling out the order form in the catalogue and sending it in with a check. Mail-ordering by credit card is an excellent idea, but the person who is doing the ordering, and therefore giving away acredit card number, should always be theone to make the call. Giving out your credit card number to someone who calls you subjects you to fraud. "Selling" credit card applications and offering prizes for filling them out, gives students the opportunity to sign up for credit cards, but otherwise may not be such a good idea. It almost makes it too easy for students to get credit cards. A student may, for example, as I did once, fill out a credit card application just to get a box of M&M's and then decidelater heor she does not really need acredit card (or in my case, another credit card). The student must then cancel the account, which sometimes is a very difficult and tedious procedure, and cut up the card. Of course, filling out a credit card application just to get a box ofM&M'swasanactof stupidity on my part, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who has done this or something similar to it. I am not advocating that students should not have access to credit cards, only that access should not be so easy. Another situation that students, particularly seniors, may run into, is charging one or more cards to the limit while thinking, "I'll have a better job pretty soon and will be able to pay for this."This student is up the creek if he or she finds him or herself jobless after graduation. Credit cards are certainly both convenient and neces­ sary today. College students, who are old enough to have developed some money-management skills, should cer­ tainly have access to them as a form of identification and for purchases. However, anyone who owns a credit card should be made aware of the dangers of charging cards to the limit and being subjected to scams. Easy access to credit cards can pose problems, how­ ever, for those students who are not warned of the dangers of having too much credit,charging their cards to the limit or becoming victims of scams. Companies put limits on the amount of credit students can get—usually $500 or $600 for a credit card with no co-signer. Some people still run into problems when they charge their card up to its limit then can't make the minimum payment. Anyone with more than one card runs into a bigger problem— three small minimum payments a month, for example, can amount to $60. Charging a card to its limit and then only being able to make the minimum payment may mean that it will take years to pay off the card, or, due to interest rates, the card will never be paid off and the card owner is only paying the interest. College students should also be warned about scams. One example occurred recently when five women were selling perfumes in the residence halls, perfumes they claimed were designer fragrances, for $25 a bottle. The perfumes were actually from Scentura Creations, which sells the perfumes as designer renditions that have no relation to the name brands. One warning that ASU Sergeant of Public Safety Harvey Webber gave in relation to the incident was, "Don't give out your credit card number." Other incidents have occurred in which a person would sign up to win a dream vacation, and then get a phone call say ing heor shehad won the vacation at a very discounted price and has a year to take the vacation. The caller would then ask for a "deposit" and tell the"winner" that heor she could put this "deposit" on his or her credit card. The person would then give a credit card number to the caller and hang up, thinking a dream vacation package is on the way. The "winner" finds out later that he or she actually never won anything, except a credit card bill containing Editor's note: Tarleton is a junior French education purchases that he or she never made. major from Wilson. Question "the way it is" philosophy By SCOTT PLASTER Appalachian Staff Writer "That's just the way itis. Some things '11 never change." "That's just how you're supposed to do it," they say. "Sorry, that's the way we do it around here. That's the rule." Do any of those words ever burn you up? Take a few words of advice from Bruce Homsby."Don'tyou believe them." A man once asked his wife why she cut off the ends of a ham before she put it in the oven. She said,"I don'tknow why. That's just the way my mother did it." So the man went and talked to his wife's mother. He asked her the same question. She also said, "I don't know why. That's the way my mother did it."So the man went to ask his wife's grandmother. She said, "I cut off the ends of my hams because if I don't they won't fit in my pan. It's too little." That's just the way you cook a ham, right? You walk into the Gold Room. The special is country style steak with one vegetable and a roll—$4.25. But say you really like country style steak, you're re­ ally hungry and you want a double help­ ing. But to your dismay, you find out that to get two orders of the steak you also have to get two vegetables and two rolls, for a bill of 58.50. You can get just the steak, but you would have to pay for the whole special anyway. Nice rule, huh? O.K. You're driving along and some­ body rams you in the rear. You take your car to the shop—and they have to replace the bumper. Then, you're parked safely back on campus, and just when you thought your luck was at its lowest, you get a parking ticket A parking ticket? Yeah, then you remember—your parkingsticker was on the old bumper. Now you have a new bumper and a parking ticket. You go to security and try to explain. Nouse. Even though it's the same car—You get a ticket anyway. No sticker. That's the rule. Thai's just the way it is, right? Why? Rules are made so people won't have to think. Heaven forbid that anyone in our society should ever have to use his or her own judgment. Don't rules make everybody's jobs easier, though? They make everything oh-so-fair, too, don't they? Rules take the human element out of our daily transactions. Because of rules we are not treated as individuals with individual needs andcircumstances. Rules are inhuman, static and stagnant; but what would wedo without them? Without rules, people would have to be treated like dis­ tinct human beings. The people who now enforce the rules would then have to use their judgment and make decisions; they would have to think! Imagine that—a so­ ciety in which people are respected as individuals. Rules are not always written out and enforced by an external authority. Some­ times we pick them up and enforce them upon ourselves. When that process is com­ plete, we enforce them upon others—all with a few simple words—"supposed to..." or "that's the way..." This is the way you capitalize a sentence. Why? Of course, there are consequences of breaking rules: Failed courses, jail, end­ less tickets, any punishment that authority can subject us to. (You're not supposed to end a sentence with a preposition. Doesn't "punishment to which authority can sub­ ject us" sound so much better?) Also, some rules are necessary. Imagine people driving the wrong way down one-way streets. I am not advocating chaos. The key here is that some rules are agreed upon; they are standards necessary for safety and convenience. Some rules aren't agreed upon. They are made solely for the rule-maker. Some rules aren't necessary for safety or convenience either. Try sit­ ting in your car facing the security office at that stoplight all night waiting for it to change, even though no cars pass for 45 minutes. How convenient would that be? I am not advocating breaking rules. I am advocating questioning them. And not just rules—but "supposed to be's," tradi­ tions, beliefs and the way things are done, as well (oops! A sentence fragment! Call me illiterate and throw me in jail!) It is high time that people start asking them­ selves, "Why is that done that way? Why do I cut the ends off my hams? Why can't I get a double order of just that? Why do I believe in God? Why do I wear my watch on my left arm?" Chances are that a good deal of life's "supposed to be's'and"that's the way's" are purely arbitrary. Chances are that at least part of your beliefs are, too. Chances are that at least part of the rules that we are forced to live by are arbitrary and purpose­ less also. Why fight for causes long ago forgotten? Someone famous once said, "What is your way? This is my way. There is no 'the' way." Even further, ask yourself, "This is my way, but why is it my way?" So if people tell you "That's just the way it is. Some things'll never change," don't you believe them. Ad offends writer Readers angered by ad's sexual innuendo To the Editor; This letter is in regard to an insert in the Nov. 12, 1991 issue of The Appalachian. We not only find this insert disgusting and insulting but also totally out of place in a university newspaper. Two articles from the same paper also deal with sexual subjects. We think it is time to look at the larger issue of sexual harassment, rape, abuse and related subjects which we believe are directly related to the sexual freedom so rampant in today's society. One only needs to look at newspa­ pers, magazines, billboards or TV commercials to be bombarded with suggestive ads that are aimed directly at stimulating the sexual drives. If we continue to portray sex as a desirable activity to be entered into at will, without any thought of the repercus­ sions or the effect it may have on irresponsible individuals, we cannot complain when these natural, if undesirable, responses occur. If we are going to offer workshops on sexual harassment and try to educate our students and staff, elimination of one of the primary causes of this problem, in our opinion, is also necessary. We can shut off our TVs and' not purchase printed materials that we are offended by, but the availability of these materials to children is something that no one can control until we insist that the advertising world quit using sex as their main selling point. We certainly hope that the editors of The Appala­ chian will use better taste and discretion in the future in the ads which they include in the paper and any inserts which are included.

However, despite an increased aware­ ness of the existence of sexual harass­ ment, the definition of the harassment is still unclear, Howe said. Barbara Daye, associate vice chancel­ lor for student development defined sexual harassment as "unwelcome sexual ad­ vances which are very physical in nature involving a person in a position of power who subjects that power over someone whom that person could have influence as to theiremployment or academic advance­ ment." In a study done by Dr. Faye Sawyer, assistant dean of the college of arts and sciences, on perceived sexual harassment of students, faculty and staff at ASU, Sawyer classified harassing behavior as: sexist comments, undue attention, sexual advances, body language, invitations. physical advances, sexual propositions and sexual bribery. However, while Sawyer's study showed about three fourths of the cases dealing with sexual harassment were committed by males, about a fourth of the cases were committed by females. Despite the sex of the offender, males and females reacted differently to the per­ ceived harassment, according to the sur­ vey.

She said she feels that by participating in the fast and the sleepout she will be able to communicate belter with others.

The sellers were not ASU students. Campus security responded to calls from Bowie and Coltiane Residence Halls complaining that the women were soliciting without proper permission from the university, said university po­ lice. The women were selling what they claimed to be name brand perfumes, such as Eternity, Liz Claiborne, Poison and Obsession, for $25 a bottle, said univer­ sity police. They also claimed that their product was three times stronger than any department store perfumes, according to security. According to a Belk employee, the women were sellingeau deparfum, which is not the strongest type of perfume avail­ able due to its higher alcohol content According to buyers, the women also told them the perfumes were samples from the designer companies, explaining the lower price. Even though the name brands of the perfumes come from different designers, the bottles the women were selling were all manufactured by Scentura Cre­ ations, security said. Scentura lists the scents as designer renditions and has no direct ties to the name brands. According to university police, anyone who bought the perfume can put a stop payment on the check if they feel that the product was of inferior quality. Students should be cautious when purchasing these types of products, said ASU Sergeant of Public Safety Harvey Webber. "Don't give out your credit card number and make sure you are buy­ ing from a reputable dealer," said Webber. ASU Police said they apprehended three of the five women and warned them not to return to campus. The other two sellers were also believed to have left campus, according to security. �The Appalachian. Tuesday.

Homeless shelter welcomes volunteers BySUZI LANDIS Appalachian Staff Writer In a time when the national budget crunch is hitting everyone in the United States and the recession is bringing hard times on the middle-class, the town of Boone houses the only homeless shelter and soup kitchen in Watauga County. The Hospitality House, located on King Street, is a temporary home for families and individuals to get back on their feet. The house acts as a 30-day intervention crisis center. According to Appalachian State University graduate and staff mem­ ber Gloria Fulp-Parker, the Hospitality House is a home base for people who are homeless but are looking for a job and a way out. Ninety-eightpercent of the people want to work, Fulp-Parker said. The center provides meals, linens and sometimes clothes to those who need it. Bus tokens for the AppalCart are also provided so the individuals can go to seek jobs during the day. "If someone is staying here, they must be out looking for ajob during the day. We don't allow people to sit around the house all day watching television," said FulpParker. The house allows a maximum of 15 people on a first come, first serve basis. Fulp-Parker said that throughout August, September and October the house was so full that people had to be turned away. The Hospitality House operates with funds from the Town of Boone, Watauga County, United Way, local churches and other various donations. The center was started, however, from a donation of a single Boone citizen. In 1985, Connie Humphrey donated her house to the homeless and began Connie's Hospitality House. The house now belongs to the organization. In the winter a second house is opened to accommodate the overflow of people who cannot find rooms in the Hospitality House. The past three years the First Bap­ tist Churchof Boone has had the shelter in their basement. This year, the shelter will be by Pizza Hut Delivery. Fulp-Parker stressed the family atmo­ sphere of the houses. "We don't allow anyone who is intoxicated. We have to provide a safe environment because we do havemany families and children living in the house," she explained. The house is run by three paid staff members and numerous volunteers. ASU students volunteer through clubs such as ACT, SASWP and greek organizations. Problems.,. after an abortion? MEDICAL • LEGAL • EMOTIONAL HELP -634-2224 Right Macintosh.

Reaction to the perceived harassment also varies, depending on the the student's age, the study found. Freshmen and sopho­ mores were more likely to contact their parents than older students. Some students would avoid the profes­ sor, let the professor know that they were not interested, or tell friends about the behavior, according to the survey. Howe suggested that students who be­ lieve they are being harassed should re­ port it to the equal opportunity office or to the dean of the department if they feel uncomfortable confronting the offender. However, Daye, Sawyer and Howe all agree that the harassment should be dis­ cussed with someone because it is often a continuing cycle that can be stopped only when it is confronted. "The harasser does not want his or her behavior to be made known," Howe said. Daye said if a student confronts the harasser or reports the incident, the ha­ rassment of that student will cease. Sawyer said, "So often they think they are the only one, that they are singled out. What they don't often realize is that the harasser has put others in that same postition."

It academic circles around the world, .effects of the Hill-Thomas hearings jjefelt. In the past few weeks, Oxford tversity, one of Britain's most prestijiinstitutions, has toughened itssexual tisment policy to include expulsion Hie harasser. Cambridge University is also discussii code of conduct to cover harassjii two years after a survey by students dosed that one in 10 female under­ tones suffered unwanted sexual atIM from their faculty tutors. Oi American campuses, however, liege officials say that approximatemeinfour female students are victims lirnal harassment, and while it may B in the student/professor context. more often, they are harassed by other students. A brochure published by the Univer­ sity ofMinnesota-St. LouisOffice of Equal Opportunity said both men and women can be sexually harassed; however, stud­ ies indicate than more than 95 percent of the victims in college are female. "I think it is terribly important that we take advantage of thepublic awakening of this serious issue," said Anne L. Bryant, executive director of the American Asso­ ciation of University Women. "I feel on every campus, every presi­ dent can make a statement and take action right now to make sure the climate on his campus isa feeling of poweras opposedto powerlessness among women and minori­ ties. The leadership has got to come from the top," she said. "When wego though aperiodof change, the nation is about torn apart," said Geor­ gia Swanson, a professor of speech com­ munication at Baldwin-Wallace College in Cleveland, Ohio. She said there is a basic misunderstanding between the sexes that will take an educational process to correct. Swanson, who teaches a course titled "Communication Between Men and Women," cites studies that show that both sexes, while watching an identical film strip depicting female behavior, will have different interpretations. Men will inter­ pret a smile as "coming on," while fe­ males will interpret it as "friendly."

"I think some men have no idea (that they are participating in sexual harassment)," said Swanson. Mark Freeman, a counselor at Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla., which has a strongly-worded sexual harass­ ment policy, said he hopes the recent hearings will encourage honest discus­ sion of the problem. "If disgruntled feel­ ings arenot expressed, it may drive people into polarized positions that are never expressed." Throughout the country, from affirma­ tive action directors to student leaders, the question is posed: What are campuses doing to promote open discussion of the issue of sexual harassment—and is it enough? Most schools surveyed have adopted policies that includea definition similar to the EEOC's and include stern warnings to harassers. In most policies, harassment includes "unwanted andunsolicited sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other deliberate or repeated communica­ tion of a sexual nature, whether spoken, written, physical or pictorial." Stanford University, which developed a sexual harassment policy as early as 1981, claims it was one of the pioneers in the education field to develop a protective policy for staff and students.

Connolly, an Appala­ chian State Physics professor. Connolly is known to many ASU students as the "Hohkaay" man because of the charming way he says "OK." Dur­ ing his career, he has made physics more interest­ ing, enjoyable and challenging for hundreds of students. By STEPHANIE D'ALESSANDRO Appalachian Staff Writer Being the station manager of WASU gives me a unique opportunity not many student ijjders on campus get. Part of my job is to teach a disc jockey training class. The course is offered each semester to anyone interested in HSU, and all participants receive a one-hour otdit. Although the class has been taught for many «rs, this year I have had the largest number of rodents ever. Because of the 88 people (trolled, I have divided the students up into two different class times. I have gained a tremendous amount of tespect for all teachers. Being the instructor for -iscourse, I set up certain topics to explain and discuss each week. I make my notes and head in i) face my two classes. I teach, and then I recap lisimportant points of the lecture. It is very imstrating to know you have covered someJiag and then have students miss, on a quiz, till I consider the easiest thing. For the first quiz I gave the class 16 people's rues and their titles. I told the class the quiz iphave names listed on one side and the won the other. All they had to do was match wap. Easy "A" right? Not quite, 20 percent ( Mass made below an 80. I even gave tai two points extra credit for giving me their (pinion of WASU. Hie real pain came when one student missed •eon the quiz. To make matters worse, the ffldent matched the station manager to a male TO, 1 sure hope people can see that I am a •Oman, and I don't even have a run-of-the-mill TO that is easily confused. Didn't 1 tell them what to study? Didn't I Ntclearly? Don't they care? These and my other questions passed through my mind, WI took the classes' poor grades to heart. I fed everyone who did poorly to take the Sit over again. people did not make the effort to come !>ind those who did didn't even make 100 fronton the quiz. Now for the sad news: Connolly is retiring after the spring 1992 semester. When he retires, ASU will not just lose a professor, ASU will lose one of the school's pioneers. Connolly founded the phys­ ics department in 1963. He was ASU's first phys­ ics professor and department chairman. Imagine it: there was no physics department before Connolly came here. When he founded the department, he not only acted as the chairman but also worked as the secretary and the janitor at the same time. "It was a real pain in the butt in those days," he commented. He reigned as chairman for 11 years and built a solid department by hiring its first professors: Dr. Nicklin, Dr. Lindsay and Dr. Rokoske. Connolly stepped down from administration in 1974 to devote all of his time to teaching, some­ thing that he has excelled at. Most of his students would agree that Connolly takes the "pain" out of physics; he exposes the fun behind all the numbers, diagrams and concepts. Connolly shared some of his philosophy on physics: "I think physics is exciting. We live with it; it's around us all the time." The mere names of his "tricks" spark interest and curiosity:"Shoot the Monkey,""Burning Pea­ nuts," "Imploding Can," "The Cheshire Cat" and "Fiberoptic LaserTree."In the late 1960s and '70s, Connolly travelled throughout westernNorth Caro­ lina doing physics demonstrations at high schools. In one of his demonstrations, he fried a hotdog weenie with 120 volts of electricity. One time during this demonstration, aman in the back of the audience stood up and said, "But sir, that's danger­ ous!" Connolly replied, "Sure it is, but so is cross­ ing the street." While teaching during the day, he went to night school to get his Ph.D. After he earned his doctor­ ate degree in 1954, he was employed as research scientist and developer. In 1955, he worked on the prototype foran atomicreactor foraircraft carriers. He also taught at Auburn University for two years. Fortunately for his students and ASU, Connolly found that his true heart lay in teaching. His stu­ dents will remember his "tricks," but most of all, they will remember his warm and generous nature. Connolly will turn 70 in May of 1992, reaching mandatory retirement age. When asked whether he would have continued to teach if he would have had the choice, he said, "I don't know. I can't say. Ilike to teach. I may miss it a tremendous amount." It is certain that many students will miss him. Photo Courtesy of ASU News Bureau PHYSICS FOUNDER RETIRING: Dr. Walter C. Connolly founded ASU's Physics Department in 1963. In determination to start the department, he actedsas chairman, secretary, and janitor. Connolly taught physics through performances in the classroom that related actual objects to physics' concepts. Recycling Bin Campus clubs present hunger awareness events By JOHANNA WEAVER Appalachian Staff Writer It's a frigid night, and snow has slowly started falling. To most children, this could be a wonderful scenario. However, to the small boy huddled in the corner, it is terrifying. Even though he has several layers of clothes on, he still trembles from the cold. He tries to sleep, but hungerpains keep waking him up, and he cries. Now that snow has come, it will be harder to find food scraps. This is a common scene in cities and towns across the nation, even in Boone. This week is National Hunger and Homeless Week, Nov. 18-22. Several organizations have made plans to raise awareness. Active Students for the Community and its par­ ent organization, Appalachian and the Community Together are holding a fast and a sleepout. The fast starts today at 3 p.m. and will end Thursday, Nov. 21 at 5 p.m. The sleep out is Wed., Nov. 20. This is the third year for the fast and sleepout. "It has previously been a 50 hour fast just for ASC," said Debbie Gass, co-president of ASC. This is the first year that ASChas askedother clubs to join the fast. The fast is "not a mandatory thing, it's just totally voluntary...we don't recommend that any­ body fast over 50 hours," said Eric Tucker, copresident of ASC. He added that people "can fast for as long as you want to between 24-50 hours... (and) can quit at any time." Gass said the main purpose of the fast is to "raise awareness on the campus and also in the commu­ nity." Tucker said that in addition to raising aware­ ness, it is also "to raise money for area agencies; (people fasting) willget sponsors forevery hour we fast." All the donations will be divided between the Hospitality House, the Hunger Coalition and the Blue Ridge Habitat for Humanity. ASC spoke to Dr. William Derrick about the fast. On the back of the sponsor sheet are detailed guidelines that Derrick gave them. People fasting are asked to eat well-balanced meals before the fast and avoid junk food, alcohol and caffeine. After the fast, do not eat spicy foods or protein filled foods. Derrick alsosuggested the fasters drink plentyof fluids, especially orange juice. Water and broth are also acceptable. Fasters are also urged to weigh themselves before the fast, and those individuals 100 lbs or under should not fast. If they lose more than five percent of their body weight, they should go by Health Services. On Wednesday, Nov. 20, ASC is planning a sleep out on the mall beginning at dusk. Anyone may stopby for an hour or however long they want. "People don't have to stay the whole night," said Gass. Tucker added that"just the awareness raised from a group of people sitting out on the mall" is enough. C*rawtOfFK "minded the class and discussed what they observed while watching the DJs.

Other associations that have plans for Hunger and Homeless Week include WASU and SGA. WASU is having the third annual music mara­ thon on Nov. 20 from 8 a.m. to midnight. Listeners may request a song and donate money or cans of food for that song to be played. A WASU represen­ tative will be in the student union from noon until 4 p.m. taking requests and donations. All the pro­ ceeds will go to the Hunger Coalition. The Student Government Association is recruit­ ing members to fast and sleep out with ASC. They are also having a clothing and food drive for the Hunger Coalition. Collection sites for the drive are located in all residence halls, or items can be taken to room 20 of Workman Hall. The program began a few weeks ago and will end before Christmas break. Council aids new clubs Hue long term objective outlined in the class "it requirement and importance of Nation hours.

November 19,1991 Appalachian Photo by tray Horocit CLUB COUNCIL GIVES BREAKFAST: Tom Apke spoke last Tuesday, Nov. 12 at the breakfast given by the Coordinating Council of Clubs. He spoke about leadership to club officials and members. The Club Council helps to originate new clubs and aid present clubs. The Coordinating Councilof Clubs held abreakfast Tuesday, Nov. 12 with guest speaker Tom Apke, men's varsity basketball coach. Apke spoke at the breakfast about intercollegiate athletics and leadership. Climbing the ladder in the business world can only be achieved if one is involved, said Apke. Attending business seminars is "how you meet people who will influence your future."Apke feels this works the same way in college. He believes that students who get involved enjoy the college experience much more. Getting involved in extra­ curricular activities now makes students more apt to participate in extrabusiness affairsonce they are in their professions, according to Apke. "I believe that future generations need more than books and classroom experiences when they go to college," he said. Apke stressed the importance of college athlet­ ics. As coach of the basketball team, Apke hopes that more students will attend basketball games this year. He feels that attending these games will be a "tremendous experience" for those who want to go. The Coordinating Council of Clubs helps to organize a club. If a club needs help getting started, it goes to the council. The council then assigns the club a club advocate who helps the club write a constitution. The council will hold leadership workshops for organizations interested in attend­ ing. Another function of the council is allocating money to clubs. According to John Buff, president of the council, $2,000 is currently in the Club Allocations Fund. Any club is eligible for up to $100 which the council gives to help reimburse or assist the club in participating in educational activities pertaining to its organiza­ tion. Chancellor Thomas will speak at the next Club Council breakfast in February. The council has also designated one week during the spring semes­ ter as Club Week . The function of Club Week is "to promote interaction between clubs," said Buff. Club awards will also be included in Club Week. Buff encourages those interested in starting a club to seek help from the council or to contact Jim Street, director of the Center for Student Involve­ ment Assistance and Leadership. If he sees that the club needs help, he sends it to the council. Those See COUNCIL page 6 ASU student leads child through difficult times By GINGER WOOD Appalachian Staff Writer Last year while most students continued with their regular activities, Peggy Shaughnessy, an ASU senior from Coral Springs, Fla., devoted her time to helping an eighth grade boy at Valle Crusis elementary school after the death of his younger brother. Peggy learned of the tragedy and the volunteer position available to help the boy through her Internship Prep Course for Leisure Studies. Hav­ ing lost her own younger brother to a tragic acci­ dent in July of 1989, Peggy knew she could empa­ thize. Her thoughts at the time were, "I know what this kid is going through, and I'll do whatever I can." Peggy met with the boy one day a week. They would joke around, shoot basketball, do home­ work together or just talk. In all these things the most important thing to her wasmaking him happy. "I just liked to put a smile on his face every time I showed up," she said. Helping the boy brought back memories of her own brother's death. The death occurred directly before she transferred to ASU; Peggy remembers that her first semester here was a hard one. "It was a terrible six months away from my family," she said, Peggy received help from psy­ chological serv ices and felt that the boy alsoneeded some type of emotional support. "I think he needed the attention. When he knew I was coming out there, he would look forward to our visit," Shaughnessy said."He knew 1 was there when he wanted to talk about it." Other sources could tell that Peggy's attention helped the boy through a very difficult time. Beth Dean, a counselor at the Valle Crusis elementary school, feels that similar circumstances Shaughnessy and the boy shared were obviously helpful. "The emotional support was really goot for him. It was good for him to be able to talk u someone with similar circumstances," Dean said The experience was also a part of the healini process for Peggy. Helpingsomeone else go througl the same experience helped Peggy deal with he own loss. Peggy was always there for the boy and mad her number available to him to call her and tal anytime. "He never called me, but he knew he ha that choice." If dealing with the loss of a sibling, famil member or friend, you can contact the Counselin Center at 262-3180. �The Appalachian. Tuesday. Nmember 19 799/ I Upward Bound offers excellence By KATE HESS Appalachian Staff Writer Attend classes during the summer in high school? For most high school stu­ dents this would be a nightmare. They would only go to school during the sum­ mer if it was unavoidable. Susan Tincher and Elizabeth England disagree. They are two high school jun­ iors in Appalachian State University's Upward Bound Program that spent their summers scanning electron microscopes and helping sick animals at a veterinary school. Tincher and England were part of a group of 44 high school students from seven states that attended a math and science camp at the Upward Bound Math/ Science Regional Center at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. Upward Bound, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Education, has helped many students become the first in their families to attend college. Students from Ashe, Avery, Watauga and Western Wilkes counties are all served by Appalachian's own Upward Bound of­ fice. Not only do students attend tutoring sessions during the six weeks of Upward Bound, but they are also admitted into cultural events on Tennessee's campus. This helps to give high school students an indepth look at a college campus. England loves animals and volunteers at the Grandfather Mountain Animal Habi­ tat. She said that she felt it would be a good experience for her to gel some work in i veterinary school. During the summer, she notonly watched minor surgeries, but received hands-on experience when she assisted with lab tests and gave shots. When asked what she learned from Up­ ward Bound, England replied, "I realize that I have even more choices to consider within the realm of veterinary science." $2 OFF HAIRCUT OR $5 OFF Mm aiif She could name noregrets about spend­ ing six weeks of her summer in the class­ room. Instead she said, "It was a very worthwhile experience. It took a lot of time and effort, but it pays off with the experience you get and the friends you make." "Upward Bound is a good program," Tincher said. "I feel it will help me get good scholarships and because of the pro­ gram, I may have a jump on some schol­ arship opportunities."This is evident be­ cause of the variety of mail she's receiv­ ing from different colleges. The students in Upward Bound attend classes to help prepare them for the PSAT and the SAT and receive weekly tutoring. Appalachian's Upward Bound Program was designed for 65 students last year, but somehow 91 students were served. This program not only makes the students feel their summers are worthwhile, but it also gives them a chance to play the role of a college student on a university campus.

Now, it is one of the fastest growing clubs on campus," said Buff. The Waterski Club, which won Best New Club in 1989, travels to various lakes in North Carolina where students can waterski.

Appalachian snapped a tie late in the third quarter.when junior placekicker J ay Millson booted a 31-yard field goal to put the Mountaineers on top by a 17-14 count The field goal capped off a 12-play, 65 yard drive that chewed up over six min­ utes of the clock. The Mountaineers put the contest out of reach in the fourth quarter, when fresh­ man tailback Chip Hooks ran in from three yards out to give the Apps a 24-14 cushion. Hooks rushed for 158 yards on the afternoon, giving him a season total of 1,062. Hooks is the first ASU freshman to break the 1,000 yard rushing barrier. Appalachian junior punter Harold Alexander put the Apps in position for their final score with a 42-yard punt that was downed on the Catamount 1-yard line. The ASU defense forced the Cata­ mounts to punt after three plays and took over on the WCU 45, setting up Hooks' final score. Alexander, who punted four times for a 40.8 average on the day, established a IAA season record with a 47.02 punting average. The old record was 45.9, estab­ lished by Idaho State's Case de Bruijn in 1981. The Mountaineers trailed 14-7 in the second quarter but were able to score late to knot the score at 14-14 at the half. ASU started their late scoring drive on the WCU 29, thanks to an 11 -yard punt by Kenny Pauley. Junior fullback J.K. Reaves picked up 23 yards to the WCU 6 on the next two plays. Hooks then gained five yards to the 1, where he scored on thenext play. Millson's PAT evened the contest. The Apps had a last-gasp chance to put more pointson theboard before the break, after senior comerback Steve Wilks inter­ cepted a Derrick Harris pass and returned it to the Western 39 with nine seconds to play. Campbell threw a Hail Mary offering into the end zone, which was deflected by several players before falling just out of the reach of div ing receiver Kemal Atkins. Western Carolina exploded out of the gates to take an early 7-0 lead in the first quarter. The Catamounts drove 80 yards in 13 plays, resulting in a Kevin Thigpen 1-yard touchdown burst. Thigpen gained 102 of his team-high 123 yards in the opening half, when the Cats seemed to run at will on the ASU defense. "I was a little apprehensive about the way we might start," Moore said. "I thought we were a little tight. We hadn't been in this type of ballgame before. It was a different kind of pressure." "We felt like we could rush the ball on them, and we did," Western Carolina Head Coach Steve Hodgin explained. "They adjusted in the second half, and we had to throw the ball more. It was disappointing not to be able to move the ball in the second half." The Mountaineers squared up the con­ test on their second possession of the game. Junior quarterback D.J. Campbell, who had his second straight strong rush­ ing game, faked a pitchout and dashed 34 yards for a touchdown. It appeared as if the drive was going to stall on the ASU 18, but on third-and-12 Campbell con­ nected with widereceiver Anthony Smith for a41 -yard completion to keep thedrive alive.

Wade play ed most of the season at outside hitter and was only re­ cently moved to setter. When asked about how the team felt going into the title match against ETSU, a team that had cleanly swept ASU twice in the regular season, Wade responded, "We were pretty nervous. Last time we didn't play our best and we knew we had to change some things, but we were confi­ dent we could do it." That confidence paid big dividends for coach Traci McGee's squad as they jumped out to a two game to none lead behind the ferocious play of senior Sabrina Hill and junior Kim Nelson, both of whom joined Wade on the All-Toumament team. m, ian State gave fans their first basketball this season wnesday in Varsity Gym in an men's pi'°n C0IUest against the Stockholm S'a Professional team from SweI Mountaineers erased some earlyJMers and a 10-0 deficit to win | *aybefore a crowdof 3,000 Appalachian placed all Is. rs m double figures in scoring 11561'351^6081'^15' ^alw'av'r if ')ercenl from the field in the iti),.. y Worry about playing a •®PDn 1S ^°Ur Plrst year wl,en II R, ?™l'las Played several games," Ws h omApkesaid of the l J 1V/UI games VZ11 ^ played ^our g(UII&9 on •national tour prior to Wednes- t light With lhC AppS' l " iconic hp u ^ *^-0 and realized Ueni 1 e ^lrsl'ever shutout in hisUnwell." * vKoss tk* k rlrst, ^-Pointer with 7:30 left i first le* 8avc the Mountaineers N a pi ,0fthe game at 21-19 and *1 ablc t, nin by ASU' The APPS »er, Un... ®et ^ breathing room, ^Doim' lbcy ^oted eight unani over the last 106 of the k' ^tbe ij?'y .^5-33, Appalachian 'gtiardR ' m'nule run when senior *®nce ^ n6y Pee'' making his first 'l*st Nov ^ Appalachian uniform L? °n a f„er", r' °jast break. a pull-up three- Twenty seconds later.

Thompson, who sat out last season un­ der Proposition 48 guidelines, played well in his first action as a Mountaineer against outside opposition, scoring five points, blocking one shot and picking up one steal in 18 minutes of action. Six Canadian players reached double figures in scoring, with every member on the roster scoring at least six points. Jackie Moore paced the balanced Ca­ nadian attack with 17 points, while Anna Stammberger added 15. Andrea Black well chipped in 13 points for the Canadians, while Karla Karch and Shawna Molcak scored a dozen. Jodi Evans also contrib­ uted 10 points. "It's alotmore fun to haveTony Thomp­ son in uniform than in civilian clothes, Apke said. "All the freshman did some nice things, and we will have to depend on some younger players this season to play well and contribute to acheive what we need to." Sophomore forward Ricky Neddstarted the ASU run that put the game away with 9:34 left in the game when Thompson fired an over-the-head, no-look pass from halfcourt that Nedd took in for a fastbreak layup. i QBVO&VtV• .(UWU Lady Mountaineers captured the fifth and deciding game. McGee was obviously happy that the final game did not last longer than it did, saying, "Ijust thank the Lord that it didn't go five games." Wade added, "After we lost the third game, coach McGee told us we could win it in four. We tried our best and came through." McGee was one of the key people in persuading the NIVC to extend an auto­ matic bid to the winner of the SC Tourna­ ment, and she said it makes the victory all the more sweeter. "It feels great to be going to the NIVC. I spent a lot of hours working on the bid, and I remember thinking tomyself 'I would really like to be the first coach to go.' This is the proudest moment of my life," ex­ claimed McGee. The NIVCwill beheld inDayton, Ohio, on thecampus of Wright State University.

Sophomore forward Jeanne Coker paced the Lady Apps with 11 points. Se­ nior forward Shannon Thomas, the pre­ season Southern Conference Player of the Year, scored 10 on three for 10 shooting. Appalachian struggled offensively throughout the contest, shooting just 34 percent for the game and committing 24 turnovers against a pressure-oriented Canada defense. In addition to their shooting prowess, the Canadians also dominated Appala­ chian on the boards, out-rebounding the Lady Mountaineers by a 43-19 clip. Molcak, Evansand Blackwell ripped down eight rebounds apiece for Canada, while Moore pulled down seven. Regina Ikard hauled in five of Appalachian State's 19 team rebounds. After Thomas scored to give the Lady Apps a 2-0 lead, Canada seized command of the game by reeling off 16 unanswered points over a six-minute stretch. "We were shellshocked," Robinson said. "They knocked the lights out of it. We were down 15 points before we even knew what hit us." ASU never recovered, and Canada cruised to a 56-23 halftime cushion. The Lady Apps played the Canadians tough in the second half, but a 15-0 run by the Canadians near the end of the game gave Canada the 101-60 triumph. "We dida tremendous jobof contesting every shot in the second half," Robinson said. "I told the team to play all the shots and make them put the ball on the floor. But we allowed too many second shots." Robinson believes the lopsided out­ come will not have any negative effect on her squad, which is the defending SC Tournament champion. "Our team went in thinking we were a good team, and we still think that," Robinson said."I believe this game can be handled in a positive way." �The Appalachian. Tuesda\.

In fact, from what I have observed and experienced, food services has changed phenom­ enally this semester. The operating hours of different facilities have changed due to the addition of the new facility and recession. The purpose of the addition of Trivette Hall was, one, to addmore v ariety to what food services offered students, and, two, to give students living on the west side of campus a close dining facility. The purposes were worth­ while. However, due to a certain amount of disorganiza­ tion, which food services could help, and lack of money, which it couldn't, the purpose of building the facility has to a certain extent been defeated. The biggest disadvantage that the opening of the new facility has brought upon students is a lack of variety. Any attempts to add more variety to campus food have been totally defeated by changes made in food services after Trivette Hall's opening. On weekends, on-campus students have four choices: one is to eat at the Food Court, which, by the way, is the only food service facility which has not dramatically changed its hours; however,if you get up at any decent hour on Saturday or Sunday morning, you might starve to death before the place opens at 2 p.m. Another is to eat in Trivette. Several complaints were made at the beginning of the year when Trivette was only offering Italian food and waffles. Now, a cafeteria-style option has been added in Trivette Hall and in the Food Court. Food services deserves to be praised for this addition. However students who don't happen to like what is being served cafeteria style and are tired of eating Italian food are forced to wait until 2 p.m. for the Food Court to open. They could also choose options three or four—eating off-campus, which not everyone can afford to do very often. Students could Another loss students suffer from only having Trivette also eat in their dorm room. However, if you're going to and the Food Court open on weekends is loss of money. do that very often, what's the point of having a mealcard? During the past several semesters, with the standard meal option, I have tried to conserve money, and therefore Last year, for Saturday or Sunday lunch, on-campus make my mealcard last the entire semester, by making students had a choice of the cafeteria or Gold Room, sure my meals never ran over $3 each. This strategy has which served anall-you-can-eat buffet on Saturdays, until always worked. However, this year I found this strategy 2 p.m. and then the Food Court after 2 p.m. It was almost impossible to implement while eating at Trivette. There a tradition for my friends and me to go to the Gold Room are only two meals I have found there that cost under $3. after church on Sundays. The Gold Room provided an One is meatless spaghetti and water, and another is a slice atmosphere for Sunday lunch that was as good or better of pizza and a drink. Eating one of these two options for than that of any steakhouse. It was the type of place that every meal the entire weekend gets pretty boring. one would go in Sunday clothes. Not only did many students go there after church, but many people in the One of the reasons Trivette Hall was built was so that community and many parents also would go. The Gold students living on the west side of campus would have a Room served freshly carved roast beef with mashed facility nearby. Now this is the only facility open before 2 potatoes and thick gravy. I have yet to go to the Gold p.m. on weekends.

Heterosexual awareness of AIDS rises By CHRIS BRADY Appalachian Staff Writer Ervin "Magic" Johnson shocked the world when he announced that he would immediately retire after testing positive for the HTV virus. Johnson's announce­ ment has brought unbelievable attention to AIDS. Johnson is more than a professional basketball player. He is a great man. He led Michigan State University to a na­ tional championship in 1979 at 19 years of age. A year later, at age 20, he led the Los Angeles Lakers to an NBA championship in which he scored 42 points, grabbed 15 rebounds and handed out seven assists. He was an NBA Ail-Star in 11 of his 12 years as a pro. He played in nine NBA finals. He was a three-time Most Valuable Player in the finals. He contributed to the United Negro College Fund as well as other charities. Now Johnson is in his biggest game, the game of life. Johnson can make a difference, as he has already done. Johnson's announcement that he is HIV positive could be the wake-up call this society needed. Our society is extremely hypocritical when it comes to AIDS. Ev­ eryone feels that he or she is safe from this disease. Magic Johnson proved everyone wrong. All of a sudden, everyone has questions about AIDS. All of a sudden, people are realizing AIDS is a serious problem. The impact this announcement has had is unreal. Calls to a toll-free AIDS hotline have tripled. The fact that Johnson got the virus through heterosexual activity has caused the biggest concern and brought considerable attention to het­ erosexuals. AIDS activists are supporting Johnson for his courage in making his announce­ ment. Fred Allemann, an HIV outreach specialist with the Cascade AIDS Project said, "He probably saved thousands of lives just in that one act." It is sad that it took someone of Magic Johnson's pres­ tige to wake upour society to the reality of AIDS. Sooner or later this type of incident was bound tooccur, yetmost people would least expect it to happen to Magic John­ son. Young people are also getting the mes­ sage and could be taking it harder than anyone. The man many children see as a role model or a hero is HIV positive with an uncertain future. The children see a man who is in top physical shape all of a sudden having no control of the future. Rex Chapman, guard for the Charlotte Hornets, along with his wife Bridgette, pledged $50,000 to help Magic in his educating of people of the dangers of AIDS. A disease that has been killing people for a decade now seems to be causing people to stop and think, "Am I safe?" Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls vowed to join Johnson in being a spokes­ man for the HIV virus. Jordan said, "As a friend of his and a player in the NBA, I think I'm obligated as much as he is to do the same." Jordan's impact on society, especially youth, is potentially great. A commitment to the education of people is needed by such"heroes" of our society. It seems that our society has seen enough death caused by this disease to not rely on a person such as Johnson to scare us. Until now, everyone has had a certain fear of people with AIDS, yet with a man such as Johnson being HTV positive, it sheds a different light on the subject. Het­ erosexuals arenaive about the disease that is typically thought to be a gay disease. Johnson proves this wrong. He admitted to being naive about the disease. Now he has a chance to educate people on the subject of AIDS as well as the dangers of heterosexual intercourse. A friend of mine said that what happened with Johnson could be a blessing in dis­ guise. I can't help but agree with him. Our society needed this type of scare, this type of man to instill a fear in us. Our society needs people like Magic John son to stand up and fight this disease. More than any­ thing our kids need to see a man of Johnson's stature fighting this killer. On Thursday, Nov. 7, Magic Johnson made one of the best moves in his career. Let's hope he can win the game. Do not exclude Boone Resident angered by Quinn regulation (vfcr faipfefoexjto To the Editor: I graduated from Appalachian State University in December 1990.1 have been a resident of Boone since 1975 and continue to reside here. Since it has been less than a year since I have graduated, I have several friends still in school at ASU. It disturbs me that I am barTed from visiting the Quinn Center as a guest of any of my friends. I find it even more disturbing that this facility is supported by student fees which I have contributed, in part, through my five years in school at ASU. I fully understand that as a stateowned facility, the Quinn is not allowed to compete with local businesses. I also understand that due to abuse from my fellow residents of Boone, that more stringent regulations are in order. But is it not ridiculous to exclude alumni based merely upon residency? As a graduate from Watauga High, one of the factors contributing to my decision to attend ASU was being able to visit the facilities with friends already enrolled. Are you now trying to discourage residents of Boone from attending Appalachian? As a local resident, I know how much the community gives to Appalachian. But as an alumnus, I also know how much ASU has contributed to Boone. Boone and Appalachian have a mutualistic association. The two "communities" have, in the past at least, been working on bettering their relationship. Are you now trying to dissolve this? On a more personal side, I am very angered by my alma mater's requests that I continue giving money for the betterment of a place I am not allowed to visit.

POLICY PROHIBITING SEXUAL HARASSMENT Sexual harassment is considered to be a form of discrimination based on sex and falls within the scope of institutional policies and procedures regarding discrimination. As with other forms of dis­ crimination, the University is committed to maintaining a work and a study environment free of sexual harassment. Accordingly, in compliance with Section 703 of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972, the University will not tolerate any verbal, nonverbal, or physical behavior which constitutes sexual harassment. Personnel with supervisory responsibilities are required to take immediate and appropriate corrective action when incidents of alleged sexual ha­ rassment are brought to their attention by students, faculty and staff, and applicants for student admission or applicants for employ­ ment.

IV study was conducted partly be0t of a reported rise in racial incidents (college campuses. Data was obtained Run 20 historically black and 20 (ijominantly white institutions. Survey (slionnaires were mailed to 15,000 dents, and almost 5,000 students re- According to the SREB study, only 28 percent of the students who responded thought that admissions counselors had described accurately the types of ex­ periences they have encountered at col­ lege. Harry Williams, assistant director of admissions at Appalachian, said that mi­ nority students know what to expect when they come to ASU. "When you apply to ASU, you know it is a predominantly white school," said Williams. "Although some students do react in a sense of disbelief when they arrive, they shouldn'tbe shocked because I tell them exactly what to expect." Some students are shocked that they are sometimes the only black student in a classroom, but when the percentage of black students at ASU is taken into ac­ count, it should not be surprising, accord­ ing to Williams. African Americans comprise 4.5 per­ cent of all Appalachian students. Trans­ lated into actual numbers, close to 600 black graduate and undergraduate stu­ dents attend ASU. Thirty-two percent of black students on predominantly white campuses who re­ sponded agree that the administration has made a special effort to help black students along. According to Williams, ASU is a college that is conscious of minorities. "ASU is very unique because there is a level of concern for minority groups on campus,"said Williams."If there was not, there wouldn't be organizations such as the Black Gospel Choir or the Black Stu­ dent Association." Eighty-five percent of the black stu­ dents on predominantly white campuses said that more consideration should be given to black student interests. ASU is ahead of many other schools in the North Carolina system as far as efforts that have been made to consider minori­ ties, according to Williams. According to the SREB study, blacks are still experiencing verbal attacks and other acts that discourage their participa­ tion in and graduation from college. Williams, who has been at Appala­ chian for eight years, first as a student, and now as the assistant director of admis­ sions, said that in the entire time he has been here, he has only experienced one case where someone referred to him in a derogatory manner. Williams said he Students thinks that one reason ASU does not have many blatant racial issuesis because there is a small number of black students on the ASU campus. "There's no dominant threat for mi­ norities to really come in and take over at ASU," said Williams. "I think that the climate at ASU is warm and receptive. There may be one or two students at Appalachian that resent blacks, but the majority of the students are friendly." According to the SREB study, students seem to be open-minded toward relations between the races. The majority of the students that responded to the survey however, do not think that interracial dat­ ing is generally accepted on their cam­ puses. Williams said he thinks that the major­ ity of ASU students are open-minded and Older students return surveyed By GRETCHEN WEBER Appalachian Staff Writer L_ While Appalachian State University's enrollmentof non-traditionalstudents may be small, these students earn higher grade point averages than the typical student, said JoeWatts, director of admissions and enrollment services. A non-traditional student can be de­ fined as someone who has not had any formal education for at least four years. "Universities that typically attract large numbers of non-traditional students are often located in big cities," Watts said, adding that this is becausethey are located in population centers. lylOANNA EMMONS Appalachian Staff Writer Atat four weeks ago questionnaires '•m flic town of Boone were sen t to all tataofBoone including Appalachian pit students.

"Even though peoplesay they are openminded, you'll always get that second look from people if you are in an interra­ cial dating relationship," said Williams. According toWilliams, the key to over­ coming prejudice is to be open-minded and not to think of everything as a racial issue. "We are all human beings, and we all have thesame needs and the same wants," said Williams. "I think that race is really not a big issue with people who are com­ fortable with themselves."

Appalachian Photo by Troy Horacfc NON-TRADITIONAL STUDENTS PROVIDE DIFFERENT OUTLOOK TO UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY: ASU nontraditional student Brian Billow prepares for one of his classes. Billow recently returned to school after retiring from his job with IBM to major in business management. Non-traditional students usually try to get their education in the towns they live in, said Watts. This is more convenient to the student who may have children, a job or a spouse. Although ASU's enrollment depends on students between the agesof 18 and 22, the non-traditional student is an integral part of the student body, Watts said. Appalachian has an admissions policy that isgeared towards the older students in which the normal admission standards are waived, Watts said. S.A.T. scores and grades are not as important when select­ ing non-traditional students. Watts said this policy allows access to students that are a little older than average and usually more mature. Two non-traditional students, Brian Billow, a 53-year-old ASU student and Cindee Pratt, a 34-year-old Appalachian student, talked about the advantages of being older students as well as the pres­ sures to play dual roles. Billow recently retired from I.B.M., where he worked for 28 years. Although he could not afford college when he was younger, he said it has always been his dream. Billow is majoring in business man­ agement and would like to own his own business. "Whether I open a business or not, I think I'll be a better person for it (for attending college) and will understand the world a little better," said Billow. Pratt transferred to Appalachian from the College of Charleston.She left college when she was younger to raise her chil­ dren but has since returned to college because she wants to teach on a junior college level. Appalachian is making efforts to sup­ port non-traditional students, said Watts. Day-care services are offered by the Uni­ versity, course offerings are fairly flex­ ible and older students are given the op­ portunity to interact with each other. "Sometimes there'sa tendencyif you 're in a minority, like they are, to feel on the outside, and we want to make them feel as much at home here as we can,"said Watts. There are psychological difficulties that a non-traditional student must face. They often face loneliness because of the age gap, according to Billow. However, he said students at Appalachian have been nice and accepting, which makes iteasier. Pratt agrees. "I think the kids were more welcoming here than they were at the college of Charleston. I never feel like an outsider." Pratt said there is more pressure on her, being an older student, because she has dual roles. "I have to be Mom, wife, and student too, and sometimes it's hard to balance it all." She also feels she is more serious about her education than many other students because she knows from experience how valuable it is. Another difficulty thatanon-traditional student must face is that while traditional students right out of high school still have the things they learned fresh in their minds, a non-traditional student has more diffi­ culty recalling those tilings. In addition, certain subjects, such as math, are always changing. Non-tradi­ tional students may not have the advan­ tage of learning the most recent develop­ ments in these subjects. Recently, a program was started to help non-traditional students financially. The Second Start program offers scholarships to students 30 years of age or older who are enrolled in a degree program at a credited university. The scholarships, which are available to full time or part time students, awards 10 $1,000 scholar­ ships.

The housing increases will help pro­ vide for new construction which will in­ clude building an enclosure between Gardner and Coltrane Residence Halls. This will provide a larger lobby for these two halls. Other improvements will include re­ pairs on Justice Residence Halland eleva­ tor work. To accomplish this, housing costs will be raised 18 percent. Students who are interested in voic­ ing their opinion on these increases may talk to their senate representative or come by the offices in Workman Hall.The final vote will be in the senate meeting on Nov. 26. Dr. James Strom, vice chancellor for university advancement, also spoke about the ASU Foundation. The foundation, which has 16.5 million dollars in total assets, also controls the endowments foT scholarships. Theseendowments total 12.6 million dollars. If a student has a problem or an idea about the use of these funds, they should speak with the foundation. Lastly, Homecoming T-shirts are still on sale at a reduced price, and the food drive will continue to take place until Christmas break.

University housing By RANDALL REININK Appalachian Staff Writer includes residence halls and the Moun­ taineer apartments. The senate then had a heated debate over changes of office hours. The pro­ posed changes had no set numberof hours the faculty member would be required to hold. Some faculty reasoned that a set number of hours would be unfair and unprofessional. Others debated that some system of accountability was needed. After over half an hour's debate, a compromise was made. The current change reads: "Each faculty member is required to schedule regular and suffi­ cient office hours at time convenient to students and to determine these hours with his/her department chairperson." Finally, the Welfare and Morale com­ mittee put a policy recommendation up for voteconcerning smoking in university academic buildings.On behalf of the Fac­ ulty Senate, the policy urges the Chancel­ lor to institute smoke free environments in all academic and administrative build­ ings.

Currently, minori­ ties make up 10 percent of the campus. Yet prejudice remains a problem on college campuses. In any given academic year, one in four minority (students)indicate they have been victimized in some way. That is 800,000 to a million students—blacks, Jews, Asians, Hispanics. If you asked gays the same question, it would be higher, said Adele Terrell, program di­ rector for the National Institute Against Prejudice and Violence. Many Americanstudents confront their own attitudes about race issues for the first time when they arrive on campus. "For the first time in our history,"says Raymond Mac, professor of sociology at Northwestern University, "We've been putting black and white young people in open competition (for) dates, mates, pub­ lic office, schooling and jobs. Race serves the same function as different uni­ forms." While incidents of prejudice and big­ otry, increasingly referred to as "ethnoviolence," continue to occur on America'scollege campuses, officials say there is a corresponding outcry against them. In the past several years, administrators have tackled the problem of freshmen retention by adding race-awareness films, workshops and seminars to orientation programs. Some schools bring in outside teams designed specifically to train stu­ dent leaders to deflect ethnic jokes, inci­ dents and behavior. "While there does seem to be an in­ crease in the reporting of (racial) inci­ dents, there has been a massive increase of commitment to do something about it," says Cherie Brown, director of the Na­ tional CoalitionBuilding Institute, aWashington, D.C., organization that teaches prejudice reduction training. The coalition, whichoriginally focused on black/Jewish relations on campus, now sponsors "welcoming diversity" programs at 120 campuses throughout the country. "We have been on campuses since 1980," says Brown. "Back then, maybe a chap­ lain would call us if we were lucky. Now the chancellor or president calls." In the past, when minority students were the targets of prejudice, whether physical, or in more subtle forms, there was scant support available. Now, many "We will not condone forms of harrassment," she says. Austin points out that some students, because of limited exposure to other cultures, are unaware that they are making offensive remarks. "I've heard them say, 'Why are they get­ ting upset over this word?' Sometimes they are surprised and horrified. We can­ not assume there is an intention to hurt." A recent storm of controversy at the University of Kansas at Lawrence, swirled around student senate president Danen Fulcher, who is black, and reports that he assaulted a white woman in February. The Fulcher incident has caused stu­ dents and faculty to reflect on political correctness and freedom of the press. According to a Knight-Ridder newspaper story, manyon the campus acknowledged underlying racial tension. University officials, however, say they have made strides in recent years to bring a greater awareness of cultural differ­ ences and don't see the incident as having racial overtones. "The university has a very active program to encourage broader cultural diversity," says Robin Eversole, director of university relations.

In 1989, 47 percent offered such programs. Incoming students at Bentley watch a film entitled "Ethnoviolence," which was produced by the University of Maryland and features re-enactments of actual cam­ pus incidents.

The band opened for the Rockafellas (now the Jupiter Coyote Band) last year and performed on theirown the next night. Anyone who witnessed the throwdown that took place will definitely agree that this is the best band to hit Boone in a long time. The rock-funk side of the music fea­ tures Stan Pillis on guitar, Etienne Lytle on Keyboard, percussionist Ivan Katz and Wayne Hammond on bass. This solid rythm section provides the underlying driving pulse that is accented by the horn section and pulled together by lead vocal­ ist Miriam Phifer. ght. f New York City's leading uninds, The Second Step, will play nd Friday at Sollecito's. Boone gmmed full of bands this week­ By the end of the night the waitpersons, bouncers and even Mr. Sollecito had moved onto the floor to dance. The music can be divided into two genres: Rock-Funk and Ethno-Funk. Mark Henry. Tim Champeaux and Josh Rabinowitz make up the scream­ ing horn section which is featured more in the ethno-funk side of the band's sound. LWIAM PURCELL iLachian Diversions Editor The band creates energy on the stage. Lead singer, Miriam Phifer often comes down into the audience, getting everyone into the show. The band has gone through several changes since their last performance in Boone. New managementand anew drum­ mer are the biggest changes, but the band has finished recording a new tape and have been aired on MTV. The band is kicking off a Southern tour in Boone. From Boone the band will travel to Georgia and make its way to Florida. "We are hitting the road to push our new tape. We are basically going to hit seven cities including Boone. We really liked Boone when we played there last year and really liked playing in Sollecito's. That's why we decided to stan things off here," said trumpeter Tim Champeaux. The Second Step contains a talented well-experienced core of musicians. Mem­ bers of the band have worked with and played with a long list of musicians in­ cluding the folio wing: Chaka Khan.

The final selection is the Glee Club's signature tune "Brothers, Sing On!" Dur­ ing this song all former Glee Club mem­ bers are invited to sing along on stage. The ASU Glee Club is one of the most popular organizations in the music de­ partment. Its popularity is perhaps attrib­ uted to the group's ability to create a stage presence and entertain audiences. Baritone Jared Metzger said, "Many students are attracted to the Glee Club because it is a vocal ensemble that does not require its members to have a major in voice. People also enjoy singing pieces in several very different and contrasting styles." The Glee Club is more than just a vocal ensemble. There is a certain bond be­ tween its members that can be easily felt and shared. Sophomore RobbCarrington said "There is a brotherhood between the members of thegroup that many ensembles do not get the opportunity to develop." Director Philip Paul holds a Doctor of Education degree from the University of Georgia and is a professor of MusicTheory and Applied Hom. Tne Men's Glee Club is accompanied by Robert Shane Jenkins and is assisted by Dr. H. Max Smith on the organ.

THURSDAY, November 14.1991 Apps can clinch Assistant Sports There are some things in life that really, truly ocite me. Most of those things are mere figments of my imagination, occurrences I wish would happen but probably won't. For instance, a reunion Led Zeppelin tour or ,date with a bikini-clad Kathy Ireland. There is one thing, however, that excites me just as much as those two dreams that I can unfailingly count on every year. When the weather turns cold and the ground becomes frozen, I invariably look forward to ihistruly special, once-a-vear happening. No, I in not talking about Christmas. am talking about the start of a sports season inown coast to coast and locker room to locker mom simply as college hoops. Yes, college basketball is back, and I (along with CBS, ESPN, every true American and every recession-plagued sports bar in the land) unready. What is it about this sport that has so captivated sports fans across the nation? What is it that has made tickets to the crowning event otthis sport, the Final Four, the most sought aitet sports tickets in the nation? Maybe it's the fact that in the often-gloomy "orltiofwars, homelessness and unemploy­ ment we live in, it's wonderful to be able to watch 18-21-year-old kids hustle and scrap and, more importantly, have fun.

Mountaineer grapplers primed for season By BRIAN LAYH Appalachian Staff Writer The 1991-92 Appalachian State wrestling sea­ son will begin on Nov. 19 when the squad holds its annual Black and Gold Match at 7 p.m. in Varsity Gymnasium. ASU Head Coach Paul Mance, entering his 16th season at the Mountaineer helm, has 10 reluming lettermen from last season's team that compiled an 11-6 overall record and finished second in the Southern Conference Tournament. "We've got a lot of good kids coming back and have some really competitive freshmen and trans­ fers as well." Mance said. "We feel like we're going to have a very good team." Perhaps the most exciting returning wrestler is senior Adrian Hines who won 28 of 34 matches for an 82.4 winning percentage last sea­ son. "Adrian is probably our strongest returning starter. He is a two time national qualifier and was ranked in the top 15 in the country at the150 pound weight class last season." Mance said. Another senior who is coming off an outstand­ ing year is Bill Baker. Baker, who wrestled at both the 158 and 167 pound classes, went 20-11-1 overall and finished second in the Southern Con­ ference Toumev. "Billy Baker did a good job for us last year, and we expect a lot out of him this year. He is an excellent wrestler," said coach Mance. As a freshman, Chad Collins earned a 16-8 overall mark and is expected to be a force for the Mountaineers on the mat this season. "Chad won quite a few matches with big moves last year, so he may have a tougher season. Buthe's a really aggressive wrestler, and he's a very lough kid," Mance said. Another importantcontributor to coach Mance's squad in the 91-92 campaign will be junior transfer Donnel Rawls. Rawls won the Division II national championship while wrestling for Winston-Salem State University last year. The 126-pounder from Spring Lake will try to fill the void created by the absence of graduated national qualifier Jevon Morris. "Donnell has an incredible work ethic.I think he could have an outstanding year, and I'm really looking forward to seeing him perform," Mance said. The University ofTennessee-Chattanooga domi­ nated the Southern Conference Tournament last year and is favored by many to repeat this season. "UTC has eight or nine returning starters com­ ing back, and they are going to be tough, but we'll see what happens when we go to Tennessee in February," Mance stated. After the Black and Gold Match next Tuesday, ASU travels to Chapel Hill for the Carolina Open on Nov. 23 and then hosts Carson-Newman on Dec. 4 at 2 p.m. followed by a home match against Liberty University at 7 p.m. on Dec. 6.

November 14 JQQJ From the Bleachers Lady Mountaineers win SWSA Tournament Appalachian Staff Reports The ASU Lady Mountaineer club soc­ cer team proved to be poor hosts this past weekend in Boone, as they walked away with the Southern Women's Soccer Asso­ ciation OpenToumament Championship. Appalachian competed against GeorgiaTech, EastTennessee State and Wake Forest in the tournament, which featured a round-robin format. Point totals were kept to determine placings, with six points awarded for a win, three points for a tie, one point for a shutout and one point for each goal scored, up to three total. ASU blanked ETSU, 3-0, in the first game of the tournament. After a scoreless first half, the Lady Apps came out strong in the second half. Goals were scored by Colleen Aldridge, Amy Hart and Erica Freas. Game two of the tournament matched the Lady Yellow Jackets of Georgia Tech against Wake Forest, with the Lady Dea­ cons coming out on top by a 3-0 margin. The Lady Mountaineers then took on Georgia Tech and scored a solid, 5-0 vic­ tory over the Lady Jackets. Hart, Shelley Oberle and Laura Dean Goodwin each tallied a goal for the Lady Apps, while Melissa Gibson notched two scores. OnSunday, Wake Forest pulled out a 10 win over ETSU in the most closely contested match of the tourney. Georgia Tech then wrapped up third in the tourna­ ment with a 2-0 defeat of the Lady Bucca­ neers. The final match of the tournament pit­ ted Wake Forest against ASU. The Lady Apps, with Freas and Hart scoring goals, took home the championship trophy with a 2-0 win. This was the second consecu­ tive year the Lady Apps have won the tournament. All-toumament designations went to Gibson, Oberle and Freas. Wake's Jen­ nifer Olson was named Most Valuable Player. "All of our players could have been named to the All-Toumament team," ASU Head Coach Bob Goddard said. "Every­ one contributed to our success. This was the best sustained effort put forth this year, and I was very excited and proud about our team's accomplishments."

Remem­ ber when it was not so difficult to believe in things we couldn't see or control and not be frightened? They were good times, weren't they? And then we learned to live in the world with open eyes, and we saw there were too many things that we couldn't see and couldn't control that could hurt or kill us. Suddenly it became imperative to be able to control and regulate. It was necessary for us to stop believing in magic and begin believing in fear of those things we thought could control and regulate our lives. Why does this come to mind? I'm not entirely sure.

The appropriate nickname suddenly be­ came a tragic correlation: even Magic is not immune to disaster. Even heroes die. Of course, I am probably being more morbid than I ought; of course I must ask myself as I write this if I am really willing to make as much of this as my evil muse seems to think I can. And, of course, the temptation is simply too strong for me to resist. The temptation is strong because I can remember the name echoing down the hallways of my youth resound­ ingly: Magic. The man? Never knew anything about the man. He was a monolith, a great gothic icon of what was possible, a symbol of excellence and triumph. Not being a sports fan, never having been a sports fan, I took it for granted: a god walked the earth under the guise of a lanky man who could make magic. Thus the name: Magic. On the few occasions when I saw him play, half­ heartedly glancing up at the television over my desk or from the back of some small bar, usually I saw nothing special about him—just alanky man chasing a ball up and down the court. Every once in a while, though, there would be that moment when I would hear the crowd surge, and I would look up to see the lightning flash and the flesh pumping and the stem, august, pained look of concentra­ tion, and then I could see it, the magic, and, at least for a moment, it was real. Real enough to believe in. Of course, it wasn't anything I relied on. Unlike my friends —who have almost always been uniformly sports fans —I didn't hang graven images of the icon onmy walls and didn't plan my days around televised games or cham­ pionship playoffs. I didn't have what they had for Magic Johnson: the madness of the monks. My world was one of words, and I was destined to be cut off from the full force of the magic. Those around me who lived and breathed the sport could now tell me that I was wrong about their fervor: Johnson wasn't a god to them. Just a saint. Sometimes it amounts to the same thing. For when a saint violates the faith, when a saint fails, what then do we say to God? Last night when I heard the news the first words out of my mouth were the only ones I could imagine myself saying: "Jesus Christ." That's right. That's the way to do it. When one deity falls, call on another. I spent a lot of time thinking about it. I didn't care so much for the man— as I said, I never knew the man— or even for the sport, as I did for my own sense of grief over the fall of the symbol. I wanted someone to tell me that it was all right, that since I didn't believe in this magic I wasn't accountable for its failure. I wantedsomeone to tell me that it was just a game and a trick of semantics that was making me feel like something very wrong had happened and would bring doom just as sure as the fall of any other god would. I wanted someone to tell me that I could get out of it if I tried. I tried, and I cannot.That flash of recognition burned a spot on my cornea, and even when I close my eyes I know it's there. The connection is too strong: magic and fear. The icon Johnson and the newest and deadliest and most shameful unseen destroyer known to man. The ultimate controller, and the ultimately uncontrollable doom. Is this society thai sick? Would the gods really send doom on us in this form? I do not know. It wouldn't be the first time, however, that our semantic system turned on us and tore a hunk of flesh out of us simply as a warning of the doom to come. Then again, as I said, I am making more out of this than I ought to. Doom-saying isn't really my style. It's not often that I see a place where I can say "Look out! The beast approaches!" Not with a straight face, anyway. And now it's about time to stop listening to my evil muse and let the good muse come in to tell you that the proceeding was simply an effort to conjure some dark humor and perhaps stir up a little fear. Don't get me wrong: not all of what I said was in jest. I don't believe in prophesy or doom or even in gods of any kind. But I do believe that we should watch out for little semantic tricks, the ironies of life that ought to make us sit up and take stock of ourselves and our world and the way we have constructed both by a combination of belief and control. I can tell you one thing positively though: it had better be a long time before we nickname anyone something as close to disaster as "Magic." We had better remember that symbols are dangerous and that semantics can sometimes be as mean as a razor fight and twice as uncontrollable.

Football fan conduct at games questioned Crowds should be enthusiastic and avoid being critical whenever it is possible By TRACY TARLETON Appalachian Commentary Editor The AppalachianState University foot­ ball team should be congratulated for a well-played season,ending the home por­ tion on an excellent note with the defeat over MississippiCollege at Homecoming last Saturday. In spite of weather so cold that it was necessary to wear one's thickest winter coat and then wrap up in a blanket, mak­ ing it very difficult to stand up and cheer ASU to its victory, Saturday's game drew a huge crowd of alumni, students and ASU supporters from the community. Sports fans and non-sports fans alikecame to show support for the university at its homecoming game and final game of the season. Later in the weekend, some friends and I sat in the Food Court discussing the game, both the outcome and the atmo­ sphere of it. None of us claim to be avid sports fans—each of us had been to at least one other home game but none of us had been to all of them, andnone of us had been to an away game. However, in spite of not being sports fans, we are ASU fans, and each of us did make the homecoming game. When I say we were discussing the atmosphere of the game, I mean there is more to a college football game than just the game.The weather plays an important factor, and as anyone who attended Satur­ day's game knows, the weather can be described in one word—"freezing." Also part of the atmosphere is the people, and one of the aspects of the game that my friends and Isat in the Food Court discuss­ ing was the conduct of some of the people at the game. Some people at the game were yelling a whole lot. That's fine—in fact, you're supposed to yell at football games. Yell­ ing "Go Mountaineers!" loud enough so the football players on the field can hear you is one of the best ways to show sup­ port for the team. The yelling I would complain about, however, is yelling at inappropriate times—for example, dur­ ing the national anthem, the alma mater, or the band performance. Maybe I'm being pessimistic, but it seems that people don't have much re­ spect for the National Anthem anymore. I would like to praise the people who did remain quiet and put their right hands on their hearts while the band played "The Star-Spangled Banner." However, some people did not even stand up during the anthem; some people carried on aconver­ sation while it was being played; and some people even had the nerve to have a shouting match. What happened to patrio­ tism? Yes, there are a lot of things wrong in America, and maybe you don't like the people in the government or how the gov­ ernment operates. But the United States still holds more opportunity than many other countries in the world, and it is still the country where citizens have the most freedom to follow their dreams,and that is something to be proud of. Making loud comments during the National Anthem shows disrespect for a country that de­ serves more praise than criticism. I will confess that I didn't hear anyone criticizing the band—my boyfriend and I were sitting directly behind the band dur­ ing Saturday's game, and those around us were avid band fans as we are. My friends informed me about people sitting around them on the other side of the stadium who were talking and shouting during the halftime show. For those people—the band has worked very hard this year, and if you can't find anything nice to say, please keep your comments to yourself so other people can enjoy the show. The same goes for those who criticize the football team. The ASU team is our team, and we should show our school spirit by finding something to praise about its performance even if the players are having a bad day,and cheering the team to the end even during a losing game. I During one complaint-session I held about the lude-comments people at foot­ ball games, one friend reminded me that it was cold on Saturday and, therefore, bloodalcohol content was high for many people. (This happens on warm Black Saturdays, too.) I am of the opinion that how much people drink is their business, and I won't judge or be critical. However, for those of For those of you who don't agree with you who do come to football games hav­ me that the United States is the best ing had a little too much, remember two country in the world—you have a right to things: one, many people around you are your opinion, but please don't make a sober and don't think that drinking gives loud public display of youi dislike for you an excuse to be crude or loud during America during the playing of the na­ the national anthem or halftime show; and tional anthem at a football game.Those of two, please don't leave yourliquor bottles us who do have respect for America want lying all over the place. to be able to show that respect without For those groups who reserve seats in being interrupted by loud uncalled-for the stadium—it is fine that groups want to comments. sit together and therefore make sure they The ASU Marching Band deserves can sit together even though they arrive at much praise for its excellent performance different times.

The dance contest, game when three paratroopers with the United States Special Operations Com­ won by Coffey Hall, was based on which u 99 mand Parachute Team in Fort Bragg para­ chuted onto the football field. "SGA sponsored this event for the first time because we wanted to do something special and different at homecoming this year," said McHale. "SGA organized the event, and the Black Student Association, the ASU Gospel Choir, CRS A and ROTA gave us money to pay the paratroopers."

I iff] ISU on-campus fax service is permanently closed J iy AMANDA NELSON juptlichimNews Editor I ikAppalachian State University post pt permanently closed its fax window pv. 5, eliminating all on-campus fax nice for public use. Ikmachine was not self-supporting, Ilk manpower required to operate equipment was detracting from employee's other job duties, said q Foster, assistant mail center man- "We have to keep up with our mail delivery. It had become more of a burden than an advantage to us," Foster said. Use of the fax machine varied from day to day, but in the two years the post office offered fax service, $3,700 was made, Foster said. Charge for the fax service was $3 per page, which Foster said was a price com­ parable to most businesses. If the service had been continued, Foster said the post office would have had to charge $7 or $8 per fax to make the service self-support­ ing. "We hated to take out the fax machine. We've had several calls expressing dis­ satisfaction, but we can't do anything. Somebody's got to pay for it (fax)," Fos­ ter said. The fax was used primarily by depart­ ments, but students used it as well, Foster said. He said that several departments used the machine regularly. Due to continuing budget constraints and last year's deployment of troops to Saudia Arabiafor Operation Desert Storm, the post office lost several positions and cut their window hours by two hours daily. While the soldiers are back to work at the post office, which Foster said employs 21 ASU students, the budget crunch is continuing, and the work load has in­ creased for post office employees. Foster attributes this increase to the publication of student postoffice box num­ bers along with phone numbers in the Appalachian directory. He said this in­ creases the amount of people on mailing lists, thus increasing circulation. The budget also may have adversely affected the fax, since people are becom­ ing more thrifty, Foster said. "A lot of things around campus are not what they used to be. Things are more user-oriented now. With the budget the way it is, people aren't going to do things they did. They are turning their resources in other areas," Foster said. Several departments on campus own their own fax machines, but they are not open to the public. Foster said since the post office discontinued its service, it has received several calls from the depart­ ments with fax machines, requesting the department names not be released. Before the post office began offering fax service, Belk Library had provided fax service to the public, but after the post office fax opened, the library discontin­ ued its service, said University Librarian Richard T. Barker. The library has no plans to reinstate its service, according to Barker. As for an alternative to match the post office's convenient fax service, Foster said that it seems unlikely. "I don't know of any place that's going to be as convenient as we were," he said. 3id oncerns expressed Quinn changes rules Merit messages convey attitudes New guideline for guests established world peace?" and "What I want is only to be me!" were also among the group's concerns.

Due to state legislation, the Umstead Act, state facilities cannot compete with local businesses. Because of this, the Quinn Center has adopted more stringent guide­ lines about out-of-town guests. Sherry Crane, Fitness and Facilities Coordinator, stated,"At one time, we had a problem with Boone residents asking students to sign them in as guests so that these non-students can use the facility. This caused a large problem with over­ Kppmmcnmn HTtoto By Hantaan HMranK crowding, and it was unfair to the stu­ QUINN CENTER IMPOSES GUEST RESTRICTIONS: ASU students may still dents.

Other restrictions limit the number of guests a student can host. To be admitted, guests must provide proof that they are from out-of-town, and students are allowed three guests per se­ mester. When the guidelines were first imple­ mented, Vice Chancellor for Student De­ velopment David Mclntire stated: "We felt that this policy will enable all students to use the Quinn Center without fear of being turned away because of overcro wdedness. We were concerned that the facility was not available to students as often as it needs to be." Currently, the Quinn Center, which employs 110 students, serves 1400-1500 people daily, Monday through Thursday. Average weekend use is lower at about 700 people per day. Before these restric­ tions were implemented, about100 guests used the facility daily. The Quinn Center also provides many programs for its visitors. The facility ofSee QUINN page 4 Center dedication fulfills man's life focus Sustainable Development Program dedicated in honor of late Father Thomas Cowley By TRACY TARLETON Appalachian Commentary Editor The Sustainable Development program dedicated its resource center in honor of the late Father Thomas Cowley on Nov. 4 in room 426 Sanford Hall. Cowley was a former associate dean and professor at Appalachian Stale Uni­ versity. In 1977 he founded the Ecumeni­ cal Project for International Cooperation, which promotes peace, disarmament, jus­ tice, human rights and the environment. Upon his death in 1988, Cowley left his personal library, containing hundreds of books and journals, to EPIC, who in turn donated the collection to the Sustainable Development program at ASU. According to Dr. Jeff Boyer of the anthropology department, theSustainable Development program began because the world is in the midst of an environmental and economic crisis, and the university should beconcerned with and reflect what is going on in the world. The program is concerned not only with the economic, environmental and political situations overseas but also on the home front. According to Boyer, the United States' own economy generates economic crisis. Undergraduates can obtain an interdis­ ciplinary studies minor in sustainable de­ velopment, and graduate students can obtain a concentration in the program. Available within the program is not only study but projects. For example, there are programs available in Honduras. Sustainable Development pro­ motes economic growth both overseas and in the United States while also promoting environmental and cultural protection. Programs help economi­ cally disadvantaged countries to grow financially while at the same time try­ ing not to undermine the culture of the people. Cowley wrote, "If ever there is to be an approach to a solution (of the world's problems), one must begin enlightening the public, more particularly the United States itself, about the myths and truths of the international community as it relates to the problems of war and inter­ national conflict, of human rights and of the development scene across the world." This is what the Sustainable Develop­ ment program tries to promote. Editor's note: For a more in-depth look at Father Thomas Cowley and the Nov. 4 dedication, see article on page 5. i �2.

Professor keeps job despite racial comments (CPS)—The trustees of the City Uni­ versity of New York have decided to allow the head of the Black Studies De­ partment at City College to remain in his position for one year despite racially in­ flammatory remarks he made last sum­ mer. The trustees said professor Leonard Jeffries will stay as head of the depart­ ment until June 1992. Usually, the chair­ manship lasts for a three-year term. City College did not issue a statement on the situation and would not comment. Neither Jeffriesnor his attorney, C. Vernon Mason, would return phone calls. Prior to the trustees' vote. Mason said he would challenge any limit on Jeffries' term as chairman. Jeffries outraged some city and state politicians in July when he told an audi­ ence at a black arts festival that Jews and the Italian Mafia worked together to con­ trol Hollywood and plotted to destroy black Americans. He also told the crowd, "the white boy can't be trusted." Students from several New York City schools rallied in supportof Jeffries while the trustees decided his fate Oct 28. A little more than a week before that d*t* the professor reportedly made more offensive comments to an editor at the Harvard Crimson. Eliot Morgan, the editor who has been bombarded with phone calls about the incident has not been available for com­ ment since an interview with New York Newsday, a student reporter at the Crim­ son said. According to thatNewsday story, Mor­ gan said Jeffriestold him that Henry Lewis Gates, Jr., chairman of Harvard's Afri­ can-American Studies Department was "a faggot and a punk," and accused a black professor at San Jose State Univer­ sity of having his opinions affected be­ cause his wife and mother are both white. Morgan added that Jeffries stopped the interview whenhe found out that the Crim­ son staff was predominantly Jewish. Newsday reported that a bodyguard took Morgan's tape of the interview, and Jeffries warned the student, "If I hear this again, I'll kill you." In a similar incident involving racial comments and a student newspaper, the University of Kansas on Oct.28 placed its affirmative action director on indefinite administrative leave after the Daily Kansan reported that Jim Turner, during an interview, referred to a woman as a fat Indian chick" and called a male law pro­ fessor "just a faggot anyway." The editor of the paper did not immedi­ ately return phone calls, nor did Turner, but according to an article in the local newspaper, the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld, Turner said the "a complete fabrication, andl'm ^ ing to reporters until I get t0 thefo ^ The Daily Kansan story ^ interview with Turner about his • involvement with a man arrested f* dering a40-year-old Lawrence, K ^ by beating him with a golf club TV*' accusedof the crime told police thatT crvlH Kim cocaine in i 'II sold him onoainn 1 a house whe^ beating later took place.

What if the woman has a class with the man who assaulted her? In some states, the law doesn't even include date rape as a criminal offense," Bracewell said. "Will the institution defer to the state if the state isn't going to re­ spond at all?" Bracewell said schools need to address criminal complaints because they affect the university communityin termsof cam­ pus safety and victims' rights to get an education without interference from the people who have committed criminal acts against them. Others disagree with the campus system's ability to handle criminal cases. "The goal of the campus judicial sys­ tem is...primarily to protect the interest of students. The criminal justice system fo­ cuses on punishing offenders," said Carol Bohmer, a sociology professor at Cornell University and a former attorney who is a national expert on date rape. She said that because schools try to afford equal protec­ tion to both the victim and the offender, punishments often do not fit the crimes. One problem in apy discussion of how campus judicial systems should operate is the fact that virtually no two systems are the same. "You'll find that they are anything but uniform," said Randy Bezanson, dean of the Washington and Lee School of Law and a national expert on constitu­ tional law. "The larger universities have more elaborate processes.The smaller lib­ eral arts schools are less elaborate, and their systems are more widely varying because the whole process reflects tradi­ tions." The systems that contrast most harshly are public and private, because public institutions must adhere to state and fed­ eral laws. In September, Liberty University ex­ pelled three seniors for worshiping at the United Pentecostal Church, a violation of a school policy. Although the school held a hearing on the matter and granted the students' appeals based on the school's rules, the students' First Amendment free­ dom of religion rights were ignored. Because Liberty is aprivate school, it is not bound by theConstitution, so the free dom of religion element of the case was not relevant But in Minnesota's case, the allega­ tions against the system, including a lack of a student's Fifth and 14th Amendment rights to due process—the right to trial by an impartial judge and jury,for example— are worthy of investigation because the school is bound by the Constitution. "The Constitution has a special bearing because we are a public university," Stecher said. The Minnesota students say that the school's director of the Office of Judicial Affairs, Betty Hackett, has unilateral power over a student's fate. "Say you get a letter accusing you of a crime," Stecher said. "You go see a coun­ selor, who is Betty Hackett. You talk to her and she makes a recommendation. She then becomes the prosecutor of your case, which goes into aclosed door hearing. She is not obligated to tell you during counsel­ ing that she will be prosecuting you." Hackett, who did not return telephone calls to her office, did tell the Minnesota Daily that, "I wouldn't be here if 1 didn't think this was a fair system."

November 12. 1991 Nicknames opposed (CPS)—To most sports fans it may seem like a simple, if at times irritating, way to deride opposing teams, but to some Native Americans, the tomahawk cheer is more like a personal foul. The cheer—which consists of arepeated karate chop motion and a war cry that could be straight from a Hollywood westem—was invented by Florida State Uni­ versity fans more than a decade ago, but reached its peak of popularity this year among followers of the pennant-winning Atlanta Braves. Native Americanactivists protested the Braves fad, labeling the cheer an offen­ sive stereotype thatpromotes the image of American Indians being savage. Because they were in the World Series, the Braves controversy earned widespread media coverage, but American Indian Movement member Jan Elliott said in­ sulting Indians is nothing new to college or professional sports. "It's just ridiculous," said Elliott, edi­ tor of Indigenous Thoughts, a national Native American newspaper. "Suppose people dressed uptheir mascots as Jewsor blacks or whatever. There would be a national outcry." Nicknames such as the"Braves" evoke inaccurate visions of warlike cultures, while "Redskins" is obviously a racial pejorative, Elliott argues. Of the 469 schools listed in the Ameri­ can College Regalia Handbook, more than two dozen have team names derived from Native American cultures, the most com­ mon moniker being simply the "Indians." One of those schools is Florida State, nicknamed the Seminoles, where games feature a mascot named after the tribe's 19th century leader. Chief Osceola. The mascot Osceola wears fearsome-looking warpaint and prowls thesideline on horse­ back, often with a burning spear. And, of course, his performance is ac­ companied by the crowd's enthusiastic tomahawk cheers. "Everyone does it now, but we did it first—there'sno doubt aboutit,"said Gerry Gilmer, an FSU spokesman. Gilmer said campus officials were aware of the recent complaints from American Indian fac­ tions, but he said his school has no plans to discourage the cheer. "We keep in veTy close touch with the Seminole tribe, and they haven'texpressed any problem with the cheer,"Gilmer said. "We aren't real interested in what the American Indian Movement says.

Little said Miami University hassigned three treaties with its namesake tribe since 1972. each an agreement that he said ensures the 1,300 tribe members that their heritage will not be treated capri­ ciously.

By JESSICA SCHRIDER Appalachian Staff Writer What kind of class has a bank account and a chance to makea profit? How about a class offered by the College of Business known as MGT 4070? It is called Entrepreneurship, and this semester they are try ing tomake money by selling doormats. The class, offered every fall and spring semes­ ter, is set up like a small business. The 29 students are divided into several groups that deal with individual facets and problems of running a small business, including finance, marketing and pro­ duction. U1 mostly shirtless men. I'm The course is not just graded on attendance and participation, but also on how many doormats are sold. Because of this grading technique, the class members feel a strong need to at least break even. If, however, they do make a profit, the money will most likely go toward something that benefits the students. The class decided on doormats through a preliminary market survey. 'The product is widely accepted in the community; there is a big market (for doormats)," said Chip Cooper, the vice president of the marketing group in the club. This semester, Entrepreneurshiphas altered their selling procedures. Instead of pre-ordering their FreeHand Workshop product, they are taking orders and ordering the exact amount. "This way, we can offer more variety for the consumer and less overhead cost for us," said Cooper. Originally, the class had set up a table in the student union, but student response was not large enough to merit the space. They have now turned to door to door selling, which seems to be success­ ful. They have also posted flyers around campus and taken out an advertisement in The Appala­ chian newspaper. Bobby Elmore, the vice president of the produc­ tion group said sales are "promising.""Most of the sales are coming from family and friends, but '1 ' W "?!§ By KRISTINE FORREST Appalachian Staff Writer K I\ iiL^mPlaining.

"Tips" gives the servers helpful ways to politely deal with customers who have had too much to drink or who are attempting to illegally obtain alcohol in Legend's. One helpful hint suggested is to offer the person an O'Doul's drink. O'Doul's has been on the market since Decem­ ber ofl989. The promotion of the product is based on knowing when to say when. The drink gives an alternative to beer drinking. This social drink looks and tastes like beer, but if the participant is a drinker, the beverage gives a non-alcoholic option. Forester Beverages had three goals when pro­ moting "Let's Party": making students aware of how alcohol awareness products &n blend^with a drinking environment, offering O'Doul's as an­ other drink for those over 21 who choose not to drink and attempting to curb all drinking and driving incidents. The Surry County School Systems are trying to set up their own program to help with the problem of underagedrinking, explained Schubert. Anheuser Busch Inc. also started a spring break program that served coffee and doughnuts on highways leading to Florida. Schubert said that these programs are hoping to get students to "accept it ( responsible drinking) and then expand it to other students."The drinks at Legend's are free so students can taste for them­ selves whether the drink is similar to alcoholic beer. See FREEHAND page 6 selling door to door is working really well, too,"he added. The class meets two days a week, but it also requires much work outside of class. "We meet for about two and a half hours a week outside of class. We're basically on our own, so it requires a lot of planning," said Elmore. Is the class worth theextra time and effort? "It's a great experience. You really leam a lot," Elmore said.

The Anthropology Department and the Sustainable Development Program dedicated the Thomas Cowley Resource Center. The Anthropology Department and the Sustain­ able Development Program formally dedicated the Thomas Cowley Resource Center on Monday, Nov. 4. Many faculty members and Chancellor John Thomas were present for the ceremonies. The Resource Center was originally the idea of Father Thomas Cowley, a former ASU faculty member from 1975 to 1980 and a worldwide scholar and traveller. Most of the books in the new resource center are from his private collection. Cowley died in the fall of 1988. He worked at East Tennessee University in his later years. He founded the Ecumenical Project for International Cooperation, or EPIC, in 1978 with the help of the Dominican order of monks in France. Cowley even traveled to the Vatican, Washington D.C., Canada and the United Nations for EPIC. The organization, of which he was president from 1978 until his death, is now headquartered in North Newton, Kan. Current president Loren Raymond spoke of EPIC and of Father Cowley at the ReSee CENTER page 6 Recycling Bin Amnesty Club continuing world hope By KATE ROBINSON. Appalachian Staff Writer Amnesty International is an organization formed out of international concern for human rights that has been on our campus since 1989. The organization was founded in England in 1961 by lawyer Peter Beneson. His newspaper appeal "The Forgotten Prisoners" was internation­ ally published on May 28, 1961 and received 1,000 inquiries in support for an international campaign to protect human rights. In Amnesty International's first year it sent delegations to four countries and became involved in 210 cases. The principles of strict impartiality and independence were then established. Amnesty International members were to act on cases worldwide and not become involved in cases in their own countries. Amnesty International's activities focus on the release of prisoners of conr 1 '• - ' • M' M-«<aarw> science (peopledetained anywhere solely for their beliefs and origins who have not used or advocated violence), fair and prompt trials for all political prisoners and an end to torture andexecutions in all cases. Today, there are more than one million members, subscribers and regular donors in over 150 countries. Since its beginning in 1961, Amnesty Interna­ tional has adopted or investigated over 42,000 cases involving individuals or groups. Of these, more than 38,000 cases have been closed. This year Amnesty is celebrating its 30th Anni­ versary Campaign. As part of this campaign, the first major report has been issued on human rights violations against women: Women in the Front Line. The campus chapter's prisoner of the month is Fatima Abbas from Syria She was among 180 persons arrested by Syrian security forces between February and June 1986. Over 100 have been released, including 16 women said to have been arrested originally as hostages in lieu of male family members being sought by authorities. Some of the women released reported abuse in detention. Fatima issingle, worked as a laborer and is now 34 years old. She was arrested on April 27 1986. Since March of 1972, when President Hafez alAssad set up a coalition of political parties called the National Progressive Front, all parties which have not joined this Front have been prohibited, among them the Party for Communist Action. Fatima Abbas' brother was wanted by authorities for being a member of the PCA. She appears to be detained as aresult of her brother's political views. Amnesty has called for her immediate release unless she is promptly charged with an internation­ ally recognized offense. Amnesty International meets each Monday night at 7 p.m. in room 210 of Chapell Wilson to write letters to selected heads of states expressing con­ cern for these prisoners. �If what happened on your inside happened on your outside, would you still smoke?

MEDICAL • LEGAL • EMOTIONAL HELP The 10-year project begins this year in three Watauga County schools and will expand into the six counties belonging to Appalachian's Public School Partnership. The project's goals include theimprove­ ment of teaching and learning in the pub­ lic schools and marshalling private re­ sources to improve public education. Ap­ palachian, Southern Bell and AT&T are partners in "Impact North Carolina." The project is one of the first in the nation, and the first in the nine BellSouth states, to deliver interactive video, voice and data to schools through copper tele­ phone lines. "We arereaching rural schools through a technology that is in place," said Dr. James L. Strom, vice chancellor for uni­ versity advancement at Appalachian. "They need not wait for fiber optic, mi­ crowave or satellite technology to come to them." "Impact North Carolina is important to AT&T not only because of its unique appl ication of information technology, but because the use of this technology pro­ vides the means to improve the quality of education for our nation's children," said Cynl Matthews of AT&T. "This project was chosen for AT&T's support because improving the education of our teachers and children is strategic to our company's and country's global competitiveness." In its first phase the project will allow students and teachers at ParkwayElemen­ tary, Blowing Rock Elementary and Watauga High schools to interact with eachother and withstudents and faculty at Appalachian. Classes will also be able to tap into global computer communications networks. The project also provides public school teachers with continuing education, stu­ dent teachers with immediate feedback from their supervisors on the Appala­ chian campus and education majors with experience with the latest distance learn­ ing techniques.

EPIC's present major project concerns child refugees, but, in general, the organization strives to increase international peace, respect for human rights and compassion for the less fortunate. Kenneth Webb, a colleague and close friend of Cowley's, remembered him as a "genuine intellectual in the European tra­ dition" who knew a lot about a wide vari­ ety of things. Webb went on to say that Father Cowley was very good with words and excelled at games like Scrabble. He spoke of Cowley as a very enjoyable per­ son to be around. He always had proper tea and cookies and was able to captivate children with his stories of animals. He had a world view of important matters and sincerely strove to promote human rights across the globe. Chancellor Thomas spoke of the im­ portance of the Cowley Resource Center as an attraction for ASU's international programs. It is certain that foreign profes­ sors and students will consider the Re­ source Center, which is a feature unique to this university, as yet another reason to come to Boone. The Resource Center is well-stocked with Father Cowley's personal books, which he donated for this purpose. The center also contains some volumes do­ nated by other benefactors. The subject matter of these books ranges from the anthropological to the political to the env ironmental.

The Juggler Your Mother Warned You About" Mark Nizer �\ SPORTS Magic in tough fight By SHEA GRIFFIN Appalachian Sports Editor It has been nearly a week, and the shock has yd to wear off. Birvin Johnson, known simply as "Magic" to jullions of fans worldwide, announced last Thursday that he was retiring from the NBA Because he has contracted the HIV virus, which leads to AIDS. The sports world has lost one of its biggest jhowmen and classiest performers to a disease mainly associated with homosexuals and intravenous drug users. Johnson is easily the most recognizable face to contract the disease since movie star Rock Hudson died of the virus in 1985. However, it appears as if Johnson has contacted the HTV virus through heterosexual activity, while Hudson was infected through homosexual relations. "This is one of those things you think can't happen to you, but it can," Johnson said during his press conference. "Sometimes you're a little naive about it, and you think it can only happen to other people. But it has happened, and my life will go on." The thing that struck me the most during his press conference was that the trademark smile, I rhkhMigic is famous the world over for, was till present on his face. Here was a man whose attire livelihood had just been taken away from him, yet he still found reason to smile. Just a day after his press conference, Johnson "tide a special appearance on the "Arsenio Hall Show" and again displayed the courage and so few men in his situation could have displayed. Idon't want anybody to feel sorry for me," 'ttason told a nationwide audience. "If I die hmorrow, I've lived the greatest life that anyone could ever hope to live." Johnson had been suffering from flu-like tynptoms for several weeks and failed to see *y action during the Lakers opening games of JcNBA campaign. He was diagnosed as tng the HIV virus after taking a routine physical examination for a life insurance policy. Jhe 32-year-old Johnson entered the NBA k in 1979 after having led the Michigan % Sparfans to their first ever NCAA jropionship. His accomplishments in the pro speak for themselves.

Appalachian Staff Reports Marshall quarterback Michael Payton returned to action Saturday against The Citadel after miss­ ing two straight games due to illness and passed for 331 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Thun­ dering Herd to a 37-31 comeback victory. The win upped Marshall's record to 6-3 overall and 3-2 in the Southern Conference while the Bulldogs fell to 5-4 and 3-2. The Citadel, which entered the contest tied for first in the conference with Appalachian State, led 24-16 at half time and 31-22 in the fourth quarter before Payton directed the Thundering Herd on two long touchdown drives to pull out the victory and keep the Herd's playoff hopes alive while dimming those of the Bulldogs.

On Western's firstplay from scrimmage after the kickoff, Derrick Harris hit Kerry Hayes on a 46-yard pass to move the ball down to the Keydet 30.

Marshall, which lost to ASU 2-1 earlier in the season, downed the Apps 3-1 to end Appalachian's season at 7-10-1. Appalachian State wrapped up its 1991 soccer season with a loss to Marshall in the semifinals of the Southern Conference tournament Saturday in Greensboro. The loss ended the Mountaineers' season at 7-10-1. The 3-1 Thundering Herd win, in cold, rainy weather conditions, avenged an earlier 2-1 loss to the Apps in Kidd Brewer Stadium and moved Marshall into the championship game against Furman. "We beat them 2-1 in Kidd BrewerStadium, and we played very well in that game," ASU Head Coach Art Rex said."In the tournament, the weather conditions were less than optimal. It was cold and rainy, and I think the conditions helped Marshall. They were very opportunistic and took advantage of their scoring chances, and we did not." Junior striker David Terry got Appalachian off to a quick start, scoring on a set play off an indirect free kick less than six minutes into the contest. Bobby Martin was credited with the assist. The free kick came in the Marshall penalty box after goalkeeper Ryan Payne was called for double possession in the box. Twelve minutes later, Marshall had tied the score when Mike Yeats scored off a set play from 12 yards out, punching the ball over the head of ASU keeper Earl Morgan. The Herd was able to put the game away from there, scoring goals at the 26-minute mark and the 65-minute mark. Kurt MuelleT provided the gamewinner on a 30-yard blast past Morgan, and Vinny Anello produced the final margin when he knocked in a five-footer off a scramble in the Appalachian*;. box. * * •.

"John Cox having to sit out hurt us," Rex said. "We didn't change the lineup around and tried to ' play just a different player at John's postition. Paul Schmallschidt was forced to play there, and he was having to play an unfamiliar position." The Mountaineers entered the tournament on a late season roll, having gone 6-2-1 in their last nine games, including a 3-1 league slate, after starting the season 1-7. "It was just their day," Rex commented. "They took advantage of some opportunities, and we did not. We reverted back to some early-season play and made some inexperienced mistakes." Terry anddefender Joel Nesbit were both named to the all-tournament team for Appalachian State. In the championship match on Sunday, Furman used late scoring to beat Marshall 3-0 and claim the tournament title. The Paladins' Andrew Zorov ich was named tournament Most Valuable Player. Furman, ranked 14th in the latest Soccer America Top 20 poll, won the Southern Conference regular season championship as well. ml i • �JJL the Appalachian. Tuesday.

Explore options to revive it and provide By TRACY TARLETON Appalachian Commentary Editor Eighteen years ago, the Supreme Court ruling on the Roe vs. Wade case legalized abortion nationwide.Today, the country is still debating this case. Tied in with the abortion controversy is the controversy over sex education in schools. How much should schools teach about sex, and how much should be left up to the parents? Many people, often the same ones who oppose abor­ tion, are opposed to teaching sex education in the schools or making birth control available for junior high and high school students. One argument is that teaching children about sex should be the job of the parents in the home, not teachers in the school. Yes, parents should take responsi­ bility for teaching their children about sex. Different people have different beliefs concerning the way they want their children to be taught about such a subject— some parents may want to teach about sex from a religious standpoint, for instance. This is their right, and they should have the primary responsibility for teaching their children. However, this does not mean that parents should have the sole responsibility for educating their children about sex. The role of the school in sex education should be to reinforce what parents are teaching or have already taught, or to teach students about issues that parents may not have time to go over. With the rise in single-parent families or families in which both parents work, parents are often too busy to spend a great deal of time teaching their children about sex. Therefore, schools should bear some of the responsibility. Students should not only be taught about birth control and sexually transmitted diseases but also about the emotional impacts of having sex too early or having sex with a partner with whom there is no commit­ ment or emotional involvement. Another common argument against teaching sex in the school and making birth control available for students is that the school may be putting ideas into students' heads or may somehow be condoning sex among teenagers. Now, let's be realistic. Is there any high school student in the universe who does not have ideas about sex in some form or another? And with the high percentage of teenage pregnancies, it is obvious that many teenagers act on those ideas without taking precautions. Not having sex educa­ tion in the schools would only mean that students whose parents are not available to teach them about sex would be forced to pickup any information ftom their peers or from television. Often students pick up faulty information, and this faulty information can be the cause of a sexually transmitted disease or an accidental pregnancy. Some common misconceptions that students may pick up in­ clude using Saran Wrap in place of condoms or douching after sex as a means of birth control. Making birth control available in schools is not giving students ideas—none they don't already have anyway. And yes, schools should promote abstaining from sex until marriage or at least until one is old enough to make this type of decision for him or herself. However, no matter how much a school promotes acceptable sexual behaviors, some students are not going to listen. Just because a student chooses not to listen to warnings does not mean he or she should become another teenage parent or sexually-transmitted-disease statistic. Making birth control available to students, along with instruction on how to use it, does not promote sexual activity among ' students. The message given here is not,"It's okay to have sex," but rather, 'If you are going to have sex, take precautions." Those who oppose abortions many times also oppose sex education in schools. I fail to see the logic here. If you are going to oppose abortion, why not promote educating teenagers about birth control so that unwanted pregnan­ cies, and therefore abortions, can be prevented? The opposers of both abortion and sex education say they are opposed to junior high and high school students having sex at all. That's fine—in fact, I also am of the opinion that junior high and highschool students shouldn't be having sex. However, what opposers of abortion and sex education need to remember is that it is unrealistic to * expect every single high school student in the nation to abstain from sex. That never has been the case and probably never will be. Therefore, for the sake of preven­ tion of disease and unwanted pregnancies, we should make birth control available in junior high and high schools, and we should teach sex education in theschools.

Experience the dynamic ebb and flow of the music. Hear music as it was meant to be heard. While some of you are getting excited, I know that some of you don't understand, alienated from understanding the life of true music. Most people probably enjoy live music of some kind and would admit that there is something about it that is ethereal yet palpable, abstract and unexplainable. Spontaneous. It's almost as if you hear a chorus of souls straining their words on the wind. The audience is being touched by the hearts of the musicians. Is it not understandable, then, that some of us would like to try to recreate that beautiful higher volume. Much is lost. It isn't the experience? A CD is just a small, silver frisbee, an amplifier just a hunk of same music.

Not all of us wake up at 8:15 in the morning. Some of us wait until a more appropriate time to enjoy our hobby. But please remember that there are only cer­ tain times we are allowed, without break­ ing rules, to fill our fancy. It seems that quiet hours were designated with certain factors inmind. Most people sleep at night­ time. But most people don't go to bed at 8 p.m. either. It seems that other activities that require quiet, such as studying, should logically be done when residents are re­ quired to be quiet. It should be guaranteed silence. For people who prefer to study in the afternoons, there is a library and other quiet places to study. Viewing music lov­ ers who take advantage of their rights during quiethours as inconsiderate would be a little hypocritical. I would view people as inconsiderate who expect, and ask, ev­ eryone around them to bend to their personal wish of silence. This egocentric wish is just as encroaching as any "noise" I've ever heard. You may think some­ times that our relatively few minutes of loudness come at inappropriate times. Consider also that maybe your silence does as well. So before judging lovers of real music as inconsiderate, and talking about us be­ hind our backs, please consider us. Listen­ ing to realistic music is a love and thirst that must be quenched.

Clearcutting is the first stage in plantation farming practiced by some timber interests and the U.S. Forest Service Leadership. Let's assume that the hair on your body is a forest. This canopy of hair is made up of newlyemerging and in sequence, young, mature, old and dead hair just like a forest. A clearcut is a large or small area of shaved hair. Mature hair is collected and removed for processing. The rest is i stage is a "prescribed bum." To suppress new hair growth, combustible material like napalm is used, creating first, second and third-degree bums. A new variety of hair is then inserted by hand into the charred areas. Often repeated plantings are necessary. A third stage is "release." Deadly herbicides are used to kill emerging competitive hair. Is such treatment good for your body? The U.S.F.S. Leadership thinks it's good for our forests. Now let's look at selective harvesting, practiced by most private growers. No shaving and waste of young and old growth. Selected mature trees are cut or plucked for processing. Trees reseed themselves. No destructive burning or poisoning. Which method is least costly and best for our forests? It's obvious, but not to the U.S.F.S. Leadership afflicted with "clearcut-itis." Three (pills) bills to help kill the infection are H.R. 2501, H.R. 1969 and H.R. 842. Three committee chairs are Congressmen Harold Volkmer, Ede la Garza and George Miller, House of Representatives, Washington, D.C. 20515, and three Senator Committee Chairs are Dale Bumpers, Patrick Leahy and Wyche Fowler, Senate Office Building, Washington, D.C. 20510. Grandfather, grandmother and friends! The U.S.F.S. Leadership needs our attention if it's to recover from its illness. Your letter supporting three (pills) bills will be good medicine.

But atnight adifferent woman snergesShe huddles in her coat, looking anxinusly around to reassure herself that no jk is following her as she quickly walks poss campus. The student makes it to her destination, safely—or at least for this night. Do most Appalachian State University female students walk alone, like the woman above? Results of a student poll overwhelmingly showedthat mostfemales walk alone at night and rarely call Moun­ taineer Escort, if ever. Respondents were asked five questions concerning the degree of safety they feel at ASU and their opinion of the University police. Most students said they felt safe, but voiced concerns about ad­ ditional precautions that could be taken. "I feel pretty safe except later at night. Recently, I've heard things about several rapes and a guy who tried to assault a girl with a gun," said Melanie Babb, White Residence Hall RS A president. Even students who said they felt safe on campus could recall incidents when they felt unsafe or fearful, although each re­ spondent said they felt safe in their resi­ dence hall or apartment. Female students also voiced their con­ cerns and praises of the University police. Senior Sharon Breenan said, "I feel the security here is inadequate. It seems like they are more concerned with giving tick­ ets than assuring my safety." Others, however, said that they feel ASU officials are genuinely concerned about their safety and well-being. "I feel like they're concerned. They installed the blue light phones," said Jun­ ior Cindy Grimes. A few respondents felt differently. "I think they're concerned, yes, but I don't think that they act upon it," said Gale Haney, a junior. Director of Public Safety Roy Tugman said additional safety measures have been . taken following the 1989 abduction and murder of Jeni Gray, a university news bureau staff writer. Those measures, which include install­ ing blue light telephones and closed cir­ cuit television cameras in distant parking lots, are helpring to insurestudents' safety, Tugman said. The blue light telephone service was expanded this year to almost double of last year. The telephones are scattered Safer sex practiced Yosef parades around town Condom sales in residence halls increase By DAWN MCGUIRE Appalachian Staff Writer At only 50 cents a piece, on what did ASU students spend close to $2,000 purusing from vending machines? ,ms. Last year, over 3,800 condoms raesoldfrom the lobby bathrooms of the campus's 18 residence halls. Appalachian receives 30 percent of to­ tal sales, and earned $530.75 from the 1 15BM1 school year. Ik ill-male residence hall Cone conlihtedthemost to the total, buying $170 sotth of condoms (340 condoms). Doughton followed closely, spending $168(336 condoms) in their lobby's unisex testroom. lovill, Frank, Belk and Winkler also ed over 300 condoms, and 10 of residence halls sold over 200. Of the kails, only Coffey, Eggers, Hoey, JusandNewland sold under lOOcondoms. In halls where there are both male and bale lobby restrooms, females spent l«than half the amount males spent. In '"'fry, for example, males bought 73 tms while females bought only six. In Winkler, females purchased just 43 of "327 condoms sold. The condommachines enable students, •hi normally would not use protection kausethey are embarrassed or because •Inconvenience, to practice safer sex. In k«d, this helps prevent student preg"lc'es and the spread of sexually trans•i"ed diseases," .said freshman Kym Anhur.

Coltrane, Eggers and • had dramatic increases in the spring semester. In all, sales for the spring semester totaled $1,013. The condom machines were installed in 1989 amid much controversy, said Rick Geis, associate director of residence life. Appalachian was the first university in the southeast to install the machines, earning the name "Condom U" from late night talk show host David Letterman. "It's a social responsibility and, as an institution, Appalachian acted very prop­ erly. Putting the machines in residence halls where people live is not a courtesy. It's a right for those people to have access to those (the condoms). To say that there is nothing going on in the residence halls is naive. There are a lot of people who think that is the case or that's the way it should be, but that's not the way it is," said Geis. The money the university receives from the condom sales goes to Health Services and is used specifically for AIDS educa­ tion. Garland Lancaster, who recently spoke at Appalachian on the AIDS crisis, was paid from those funds. The funds will also pay for the AIDS quilt, which travels around the country in support of those who have died from AIDS, to come to Appalachian's campus in mid-Novem­ ber. The condom vending machines are not the only birth control availableencampus. Student Health Services provide condoms, a large variety of birth control pills and will fit students for diaphragms. The condoms are free and birth control pills are soldat a reduced price of $2 to $4. The birth control pill is the method used most widely, according to Health Services Di­ rector William Derrick.

Levine stated, "ASU's licensing pro­ gram has three purposes, which we call the three P's: protection, promotion and profit" The licensing program protects ASU's name and reputation, controlling what products are identified with Appala­ chian. The licensing program also promotes ASU's image by only allowing positive and admirable ASU products to be manu­ factured. A profit can be made through the licensing program due to the fact that ASU collects royalty payments. The uni­ versity administration hopes to use the money generated from royalty payments for general university academic scholar­ ships. Levine currently makes all of ASU's licensing decisionsconcerning what prod­ ucts are approved or rejected.

Further, 45 percent of those surveyed reported losing a family member in the previous 24 months.

The professor believes the unspxrken reality of grief is a hidden problem on most U.S. campuses. Dr. Dan Jones, psychologist at the ASU Counseling and Psychological Services, said, "The best thing for a student who experiences a grief or loss is to talk to or be with family, friends or loved ones." However, since most ASU students are away from home and do not have access to See MANY page 2 that is not offensive and properly uses ASU's logo will pass," stated Levine. Levine said he wants to get students involved in these decisions. He hopes to start a student committee that will evalu­ ate student generated designs for ASU products. ASU will also be participating in Hunger/Homelessness Week, Nov. 18-24. Money will be raised and evenly distrib­ uted between the Hospitality House, Hun­ ger Coalition and Habitat for Humanity. Co-presidents of Active Students for the Community, Debbie Gass and Eric Tucker, announced upcoming events. Active Students for the Community is sponsoring a fast starting Nov. 19. Paritcipants are asked to fast for a mini­ mum of 24 hours and no longer than 50 hours. Each participant will get spxmsors to pledge money for each hour they fast. Nov. 20 is a "sleep-out" This event is to raise awareness in the community and on ASU's campus. Participants are asked to sleep outside in sleeping bags for the night. SGA also heard a presentation by Brady Gas ter, chairman of East Residence Hall's "Dorm of Doom" committer Gaster's committee raised $344 for the United Way. SGA did not discuss any old or new business. The senate did not have any old business, and a motion was passed to send all new business to the rules committee for screening. Committee repxrrts were given, an­ nouncing sprecial projects and events. Matt WiUiford, community affairs chairman, announced that ASU Senators will be standing outside of three local grocery stores Nov. 16-23 collecting food for Hunger/Homelessness Week. Terie McHale reported on homecom­ ing events. Along with selling T-shirts, having a tailgate party and participating in the homecoming parade, SGA is involved in a spjecial event that will take place Saturday at the stadium at 1:12 p. m. All senators were asked to remind their constituents about The Student Fee Fo­ rum video currently being shown on Appalnet. SGA will vote on the Student Fee Proposal on Nov. 19. In closing, Senator Mike Miller made a motion to form a committee to investi­ gate the rumor that certain musical bands are being banned from ASU's campus. The motion was passed and the meeting adiourned. Kraut Creek or Boone's Creek, which runs through campus, is in very px>or con­ dition, according to ASU biology profes­ sor Gary Walker. Parking lots drainage, small amounts of chemicals from the p>ool in BroomeKirk Gym and the recent dry weather contribute to the creek's degradation. Joe Napoleon, site development coor­ dinator for the planning and inspections department for the town of Boone, said the creek was put in colvert "to accommo­ date development." "They wouldn't have been able to do half the things they did with that creek because today the ordinance would pro­ hibit it," Napoleon said. The creek runs from behind BroomeKirk Gym, goes under the RankinScience and Driving Range parking lots andreappjears on thefar side of the Walker College of Business building, Walker said. Drainage from the parking lots feeds into the creek, Walker said. Storm drain­ age run-off goes into the creek, carrying with it hydrocarbons and oils from the parking lots, Walker said. Walker said that hydrocarbons and oils are the number one source of freshwater pollution. Many states have laws requir­ ing that storm drainage first be fed into holding pxmds where the water is evapxjrated and any chemicals are absorbed into the earth, but ASU does not have such a pjond, Walker said. "It (the creek) has always had a long history of disturbance and the University could only contribute to that by further using it for run-off and dumping," said Walker. Chemicals from the university's px>ol are filtered into the creek. Chlorine, phos­ phoric acid and other cleaning agents en­ ter the creek through the prod's filter sys­ tem, said William Winkler, assistant vice chancellor for physical plant operations. "Any chemicals that do end up in the creek do so through the filter system and are so diluted that if there is any effect at aU, it is minimal," said Winkler. Winkler also said that there is a way to prevent the chance of any chemicals, no matter how diluted, from entering the creek. Pipres could be installed that would direct the flow from the filter into the sewer system, where the water would be treated, he said. Winkler estimates that this would cost several thousand dollars. The recent dry weather intensifies the effect of the pxxtl chemicals and the hy­ drocarbons and oil entering the creek, Walker said. The dry weather has lowered the water level and any chemicals that go into the CTeek will have a stronger effect, Winkler said. Kraut Creek had similrf disturbances before Appalachian was built, according to Walker.In fact, the CTeek is named after several sausage and sauerkraut plants that dumpted chemicals and waste into the creek. "The environment that has been cre­ ated in the creek is not suitable to higheT life forms," Walker said. The main inhab­ itants of the creek are bacteria, algae and fungi, he said. Walker also said that the only way to reverse the condition of the creek would be to rip out the parking lot and expose the creek. �The Annalaehian. Homecoming Edition. Thursday.

More than 10 fraternity brothers gangrape a virgin at San Diego State Univer­ sity. One year after the incident, the frater­ nity holds a party in honor of the event No one is prosecuted. A fraternity chapter at Ohio State Uni­ versity and another at Blooms burg Uni­ versity in Pennsylvania require pledges to commit a gang rape or beat up a woman for induction. Countless women report date and ac­ quaintance rapes only to be told by police and campus administrators that they are to blame. "Why were you drinking? Why were you alone in the man's apartment?" Their forceful voices sent vibrations of anger, frustration and utter confusion bouncing off the walls as they recounted story after story of sexual assault on col­ lege campuses, large and small, public and private—nationwide. Why is this happening? At the first Conference on Sexual Assault on Campus, experts on rape, students and those working at colleges and universities in counseling, law enforcement and ad­ ministration promoted a national campaign against campus rape. The recent conference in Orlando, Fla., was sponsored by the Safe Schools Coali­ tion Inc., a non-profit organization dedi­ cated to making colleges and schools a safer place to live and work. One in four college women today will be the victim of rape or attempted rape. Rape, especially date and acquaintance rape, is the most underreported of any crime. About 75 percent of campus rapes in­ volve alcohol. Those figures come from Andrea Par­ rot of Cornell University's Department of Human Service Studies. Parrot is one of the nation's leading researchers of date and acquaintance rape on college cam­ puses. Parrot is not the only expert armed with sobering statistics. Bemice Sandler, ex­ ecutive director of the Association of American College's Status and Education of Women project, said 100 gang rapes have been reported at colleges and univer­ sities since 1985. Both agree that attitudes are much of the problem. "There are people out there who think date rape is an oxymoron," Parrot said. "We have to think about the types of students on our campuses that we need to reach...and realize that we can't change opinions with one (educational) program. We need to take baby steps to change their attitudes." The attitude problems are coming from many directions. "A lot of these men have perceptions " diametrically opposed to the women. They don't really know they committed a rape," she said. "There are also a number of women whosay they only go out with nice men, so they're not at risk. They say, 'This won't happen to me.'" Parrot adds that administrators' re­ sponses are crucial as well. She divides them into three groups: those who won't deal with campus rape until it happens on their campus, those who bury their heads in the sand and come up with creative ways to prevent victims from reporting rapes and those who see that date rape is real and take steps to prevent it from happening. "We need to tell administrators to re­ vise their policies., .that if we don't handle this problem it could cost them a lot of money (from lawsuits)," she said. Many Police now promote sensitivity and training. "If your people in your department at your university don't care, nothing you do will come across right," said Richard Turkiewicz, police chief at the University of Central Florida. "Don't look for rea­ sons why not to help, don't say. You violated this safety principle, you did this and that wrong.'" Leslie Scoville of the Rutgers Univer­ sity police department agrees and adds that in addition to taking added security measures on campus to prevent rape such as additional lighting, keepingshrubs trimmed, evaluating building plans, the scheduling of night classes and establish­ ing campusemergency communication— individual officer training is crucial. "One session a year is not enough,"she said. "We have to work with prosecutors, rape crisis counseling services and victim assistance programs." People alsoneed to encourage prosecu­ tion, they say. Carol Bohmer, a former attorney and now a professor in Cornell's sociology department, said taking rape charges through the criminal justice system may prove more beneficial to a victim than a university's judicial system. "The goal of the campus judicial sys­ tem is different. Its primary interest is in protecting students, its reputation, its fi­ nances," she said. "The criminal justice system focuses on punishing offenders." Many victims are shying away from crimi­ nal prosecution these days and turning to civil action against the alleged rapist and against the schools for improperly han­ dling the victim's report of the rape, Bohmer said. "This is an increasing area in rape...these are situations in which uni­ versities can be liable,"Boh with the increase in civil • percentage of victims action for fear of blame, enibll!'11 fear of retaliation from'tw^* fear that no one will believe h ^ Jennifer Rabold, a sen»ral!\ sity of Richmond, is students who bonded JUtl ""•fi conference to form the Xj*1 ti°n of Stents Ag^S 5< Assault.

The students agree with the expensj, E: education is the key to prevention. ^ ipe See PROBLEMS n Female Continued from page 1 their families,Jones suggests students who are dealing with grief consult the counsel­ ing center. Many students don't believe they have an outlet to sort through their feelings, he said. In the past, if several students are com­ ing to terms with death at the same time, the counseling centerhas started grief and mourning support groups, which range from four to six people. "This way, they have the shared expe­ rience of suffering the same type of loss. Talking about it helps people to heal," Jones said. Other students who have not experi­ enced loss and are separate from the bereavement study also are being studied. The control group has been evaluated on stress, and the results are com­ pared with those in the bereavement group. Balk said he thinks students who have suffered a loss develop more resources than those who have not. "I suspect there are changes in people, and (the death) becomes a major reference point, and they return to it again and again." Although people sympathize with a bereaved student, Balk said outsiders of­ ten underestimate the intensity or dura­ tion of grief. "Theideaof beingover it completely in a year is just not true," said the professor, who also said that some students found the study too painful to participate. Balk, often referred to teasingly as "Dr. Death," said he would like to pursue a study on how thegrieving process changes people. The professor said people in this soci­ ety are often impatient with the grieving process. "We expect to get things resolved in minutes," he said. "We are unwilling to spend time on things." Continued from page 1 Although this program is in its third year, some female students surveyed de­ nied ever coming in contact with the foot patrol officer. "They say they've got walkers out ev­ ery night, but I never saw them out walk­ ing. If I have ever seen one, they are always writing tickets," said Freshman Kim Whisnant.

The equipment will be used in the "Impact North Carolina; 21st Century Education" distance learning project. The 10-year project begins this year in three Watauga County schools and will expand into the six counties belong­ ing to Appalachian's Public School Part­ nership. The project's goals include the improve­ ment of teaching and learning in the public schools and marshalling private resources to improve public education. Appalachian, Southern Bell and AT&T are partners in "Impact North Carolina." The project is one of the first in the nation, and the first in the nine BellSouth states, to deliver interactive video, voice and data to schools through copper tele­ phone lines. "We are reaching rural schools through a technology that is in place," said Dr. James L. Strom, vice chancellor for uni­ versity advancement at Appalachian. "They need not wait for fiberoptic, micro­ wave or satellite technology to come to them." Impact North Carolina is important to AT&T not only because of its unique application of information technology, but because the use of this technology provides the means to improve the quality of education for our nation's children," said Cyril Matthews of AT&T. "This project was chosen for AT&T's support because improving the education of our teachers and children is strategic to our company's and country's global competi­ tiveness." In its first phase the project will allow students and teachers at Parkway Elemen­ tary, Blowing Rock Elementary and Watauga High schools to interact with each other and with students and faculty at Appalachian. Classes will also be able to tap into global computer communications networks. The project also provides public school teachers with continuing education, stu­ dent teachers with immediate feedback from their supervisorson the Appalachian campus, and education majors with expe­ rience with the latest distance learning techniques. Appalachian contributes to "Impact North Carolinal' its nationally recognized Reich College of Education, its awardwinning Public School Partnership and faculty expertise. AT&T contributes design and engineer­ ing services, equipment andhardware and software. Southern Bell contributes tele­ phone networking and services, and the latest in voice, video and networking tech­ nology. The AT&T grant provides 95 AT&T workstations, three file servers, three server workstations, network hardwareand software and other software. Carpool...

That's what one of Geoff Walsh's mar­ keting campaigns for his VP ArtWatches reads above a black-and-white picture of the artist wearing—what else?—one of Walsh's creative timepieces. "These strikingly beautiful wristwatches have highly distinctive faces— four-color reproductions of the world's most admired paintings—from the great­ est impressionists to the most fabulous moderns, from Monet and Van Gogh to Picasso and Dali." So reads the slick ArtWatch ad. Not bad for a guy who started his busi­ ness on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania selling watches with faces that donned DanQuay le in Mickey Mouse ears. "It started when my roommate said, 'What did Mickey Mouse get for his 60th birthday?,"' Walsh says. The answer, of course—a Dan Quayle watch. Walsh and his roommate sold between 600 and 700 of the watches and his career as an entrepreneur was well on its way. Now, at the age of 24, the 1989 Wharton School graduate is the chairman, presi­ dent and chief executive officer of Walsh Enterprises, a $4 million-a-year business in Larchmont, N.Y. And it all started in college. The success of the Quayle watches showed Walsh that the watch market was open for business. After noticing repro­ ductions of Claude Moiiet and other art­ ists on students' walls, Walsh came up with the idea for ArtWatches. That idea turned into a business plan for ArtWatches that served as Walsh's un- dergraduate thesis and blossomed into his catalogs like Spiegel, the QVC Home curTent international venture. Shopping Network,department stores like Connections with a Philadelphia com­ Macy's and J.C. Penney's sell the pany resulted in connections with a large ArtWatches, which cost between $40 and Hong Kong company that Walsh says $75.

Walsh started with eight art works— Now, Walsh is working on developing now ArtWatches offers more than 50 dif­ other watch lines and is starting to dabble ferent faces, withabout 30 different watchband styles. Walsh has sold more than 100,000 of the watches in the United States, Germany, France and Japan. Although Walsh admits thatearly in his college career, "I did suffer from the en­ trepreneurial dream a bit," he says some of the difficulties he encountered early in his watch-making career showed him that success takes "constant push and perse­ verance." Walsh started selling his watches in 1989 with the help of college students on campuses and says he worried a bit when Bulova Corp. began selling its Classic Moments watches that also reproduced famous paintings on watch faces. Walsh won the battle in the market­ place since ArtWatches sold for a signifi­ cantly lower price—$75 compared with COME $300. Since the early struggles, the HOIX/1E T O ArtWatches have come a long way—now.

I realize this sounds slightly ""fed. but let's not put it out of the picture By AMY CAMPBELL Appalachian Staff Writer The Career Development Center, located in I.G. Greer, helps students with any need they have for their job search. The Center provides a very thor­ ough career planning program and library of infor­ mation. Signs are frequently posted announcing the workshops and career fairs for various depart­ ments or summer jobs and internships. The Center offers resume workshops several times a month. Graduate assistant Doug Dewar conducted last week's workshop. Dewar advised students not to be afraid to boast and to put down everything they have done in college. "You are selling yourself; the resume is your advertise­ ment," Dewar explained. Dewar went through step by step tips on com­ pleting the resume. He reminded the group that the Career Development Center offers a "career li­ brary" which has sample r6sum6s.To savemoney, he suggested students utilizeMedia Services when it comes time to print the resumes. They will produce laser printed copies for as little as 3 cents per copy. The center considers theinterviewing process as marketing a product Weekly interviewing work­ shops are also available through the center. The workshop breaks the process down to a pre-interview, interview and post-interview. They discuss preparations like a practice interview with a room­ mate and "dressing the part" before the day of the interview. Follow-up and thank-you letters are also covered. Dr. David Ball, director of the Career Develop­ ment Center, discussed his views on the reces­ sions' impact on graduates. He breaks the reces­ sion into four parts:economy, demographics, tech­ nology and downsizing of corporations. To com­ bat these problems, he first suggests students be more flexible by not limiting themselves geo­ graphically. They may also consider the smaller corporations who are not as impacted by the reces­ sion. Ball said students can prepare for the job market even before their senior year by getting involved in co-curricular activities that provide computer lit­ eracy, leadership, communications and technical skills. Internships are another good preparation because they provide these skills and important business contacts. The center helps students seek­ ing internships as well. 'The best qualified doesn't always get the job," Ball said. "It's the one who plays the game the best" Many students think of ASU's Career Develop­ ment Center as that place where jobs are posted on the bulletin board. On the contrary, the center has much more to offer. With graduation approaching, planning career includes writing r6sum6s, prepar­ ing for interviews and combating the recession. By LAURA HOWARD Appalachian Staff Writer Student writers seeking a way to publish their work should consider "Appalachian Broadsides." "Broadsides," a student publication offered by the English department, encourages writers to sub­ mit their best piece of work. "Anyone who writes is welcome to submit, particularly those who write well," said Laura Swenson, editor-in-chief. Although "Broadsides'" publications usually consist of poetry, its staff encourages writers to submit other types of work as well. "Poetry is good, but we don't want just poetry. We welcome short stories. Around 2,000 words is good. Creative essays are also welcome," said Swenson. "Broadsides" gives the writer a chance to be in the spotlight. Only one author appears in each issue, which can consist of one piece of work or several works by the author. It also allows students to improve their writing and gives writers a broader sense of fiction. Coordinator of "Broadsides" Pete Turchi en­ courages students who are interested in editing to join the staff. "We also wouldn't mind having people who need more editing experience to see Laura Swenson or myself," said Turchi. According to Turchi, "our goal is to come out bi­ weekly, which is about 14 to 16 times a year. Last year 'Broadsides' put out 10 publications." Turchi, a creative writing instructor at Appala­ chian, brought the "Broadsides" tradition with him from Washington College. During his under­ graduate days in college, Turchi lived in a writer's dorm and worked on a university publication called "The Washington College Review and Broadsides." S(j J°U ^ding me?

The "broadside," a 17th and 18th century tradi­ tion in England, was a single sheet of paper the writer would hand out to passersby on the street This tradition, which is being practiced at Appala­ chian, is an "easy way to make work accessible to a lot of people. It also gives a lot of attention to a single piece," said Turchi. "The other nice thing about it is each 'Broadsides' is designed for every piece published." attractive way for students to get their work pub­ lished. "It is also a constant reminder of what students are doing," Turchi said. "This is a way for them to have a larger audience." "Broadsides," unlike "The Cold Mountain Re­ view," is limited strictly to student work. "The ColdMountainReview," also coordinated byTurchi through the English department, still solicits stu­ dent poetry and books from or about the Southeast Open to writers and writings of all kinds, "The Cold Mountain Review" also welcomes submissions from writers who do not attend the University. Those who wish tosubmit work to "Broadsides" should include their name, address and phone num­ ber. Students should also make sure they are not submitting an original because work will not be returned. Writers interested in"Broadsides" should submit their work to the English department while those interested in editing should contact Swenson at 265-3523.

For the Workshop aids job hunt ARMSTRONG palachian Staff Writer "drunk f 'fe'^rs THE APPALACHIAN THURSOAY, November 7,1991 SCHOLARSHIP WINNER:Tori Thompson, winnerof the Resort Recreation and Tennis Management Scholarship, prepares to board the Vagabond boat at Hilton Head Island. Thompson just witnessed a fisherman's catch of the day-a shark. Imagine spending an entire summer at the beach, leading resort guests in such activities as canoeing, aerobics, fishing, walks on the beach, arts and crafts, biking, bingo...the list goes on. When it is time to return to college you learn that not only have you won a scholarship, but you have also earned a management position if you wish to return. Does it sound too good to be true? ForTori Thompson, it is reality. Thompson is a senior majoring in recreation management and concentrating in commercial rec­ reation management.She fulfilled her internship at Hilton Head Island this past summer. She was one of the 44 people chosen from hundreds of other applicants to help conduct activities for resort guests. Her main goal was to help people relax and enjoy their vacation. When not leading groups in different activities, Thompson took part in "guesttime." Many visitors would not be aware of the events that were being offered to them, so she would eagerly recruit participants with her outgoing per­ sonality. When sponsoring akids' day on the beach or taking a group of young people to a water park, Thompson would talk with the parents individu­ ally. By taking the time to make the parents feel at ease, they would feel secure allowing their chil­ dren into Thompson's care. Thompson's outstanding performance won her the Resort Recreation and Tennis Management Scholarship. She believes she won because of all the hard work she put forth to get people involved. Her enthusiasm led her to have large numbers of participants at her activities. When asked how she felt about winning the scholarship, she replied, "It's not so much the money. It's the recognition." Although she enjoyed doing the work, Thomp­ son worked hard and held a great deal of responsi­ bility. She tried to get to know the guests by talking to them, learning where they were from and mak­ ing them laugh. Because of her enthusiastic efforts, Thompson has been offered to return to Hilton Head as an activities coordinator. She was the only one out of all 44 interns asked to return. This management position overseesother interns, and she hopes to be able to help them overcome obstacles she had to conquer. A native of Toms Creek, N.J., Thompson is outgoing and loves to try new things. She worked at a water park for several years and is presently employed by a ski shop which allows her access to one of her favorite pastimes: skiing. She hopes to return to Hilton Head and continue with the typeof job she held this summer. When reflecting on her experience, Thompson does not mention the scholarship or the job offershe speaks of the friends she made. "People respect you and appreciate what you do for them," Thompson said. For her, this is the greatest reward of all. She is proud to have helped others enjoy an active vaca­ tion. �The Appalachian. Homecoming Edition Thursday November 7. 1991 Fraternity activates members By LA TONYA IVEY Appalachian Staff Writer Pi Sigma Epsilon introduced itself at ASU as a co-ed business fraternity a little over a decade ago. The fraternity is a national chapter of Gamma Xi and is sponsored by Charlotte Sales and Market%tg Executives. PSE is open to not only •business majors, but to all majors. There are over 1OOchapters of Pi Sigma »Epsilon. There are specifically 67 active Chapters throughout the United States. There are two field representatives that visit each chapter annually. The field rep­ resentatives help make sure that each chap­ ter improves every year. They provide new ideas for marketing and service projects. Pi Sigma Epsilon completed numerous marketing and service projects. Some of these include the designing and selling of Yosef dolls, Adopt-a-Street and a J telemarketing survey about the quality of ASU by students. PSE also designed and sold Monopoly board T-shirts that adver­ tised businesses. Future projects include Laps for A.P.P.S., a member auction with other participating business fraternities and a project for ACE, the advertising club. These projects are presented at national conventions that are usually held in April in different cities each year. Next year, the Convention will be in Chicago. Over 700 delegates will be present. Here the mem­ bers of Pi Sigma Epsilon will be inter­ viewed and honored for their hard work and success. Pi Sigma Epsilon is the only profes­ sional national co-ed business fraternity in marketing, sales and sales manage­ ment. It has an added benefit that other business fraiemities do not have. PSE has business contacts.They go to Charlotte to have business dinners with CSME while their resume books are examined for (See Our Coupon In The Coupon Section Of The Student Directory) Large Selection of Alternative Super Selection And Low Prices On: VIDEO RENTALS VIDEO FREE MEMBERSHIP FREE ME New Releases - $2" New Relr All Other Movies - $1vcr a vihp ' VCR & Video Camera Rentals R & Vldeo L - c r- "'/ Ui /?

Wagon wheels, hubcaps and children's bicycles make up the fence.This is the site which gave one of North Carolina's leading bands their name: Dillon Fence. "Dillon Fence has hit the jackpot in the same fashion the Popes did. Hitting home with rich, soulful pop and sugar-sweetened funk and dance rhythms, they emerged as the most musically fash­ ionable band on campus. Their music is distinctfully tasteful, unmissable and the debut EP, 'Dillon Fence,' sold like wildfire around town,"said Charles Marshall, assistant editor for the Omnibus. The band has been together since 1987. The band's roots go back to Winston-Salem, but Dillon Fence rose to fame in the Chapel Hill band scene. Greg Humphrey, guitarist, and bassist Chris Goode attended high school together where they played in the same band. Rhythm guitarist and vocalist Kent Alphin, who grew up in Charlotte, was added to the band when he moved to WinstonSalem. The present drummer is Scott Carle, a former member of a Durham based band, Bad Checks. "Dillon Fence is a band which has achieved popular accessability while retaining musical in­ tegrity," said student Greg Baver. The band has played throughout the Southeast and has played in New York and the CMJ Music Marathon.

Dillon Fence is the headline, but another great band will be opening the show, Eskimo Sunburn. Will Eskimo Sunburn follow in the footsteps of Dillon Fence? Eskimo Sunburn burst onto the ASU band scene just a year ago. Since that time, they have steadily improved as a band, and a loyal following has grown up around the band. They played in The Pub at the beginning of the semester in a show with The Pygmies. The Pub was packed. Eskimo Sunburn consists of Ben Wakeman on guitar and vocals, Evans Nicholson on drums, Dan Hurley on guitar and Jim Stephens on bass. "We've been waiting to open for Dillon Fence < for a long while, now the opportunity just came , up," said Wakeman. "You meet a'lot of bands. J Dillon Fence was really personable when I met J them.

"Paradise" is directed by Mary Agnes Donoghue from her screenplay adapted from the French film "Le Grand Chemin." After spending a number of years in Hollywood as one of motion picture industry's most successful writers, Mary Agnes Donoghue is now cast in an equally challenging and creative role, that of fea­ ture film director. Casting the roles of Ben and Lily Reed, the filmmakers were determined to find actors who could convincingly portray a young husband and wife burdened with trauma so deep that it' has physically and emotionally separated them from each other. Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith proved to be the ideal choices for these roles because of an innate quality of spirit they bring to the characters. "These aren 't the typesof roles either has played before," said Donoghue. "However, there's a sub­ stance in Don and Melanie that's very warm and See STARS page 9 Nirvana's "Nevermind" tops college charts By CHRIS BRADY Appalachian Staff Writer Nirvana is yet another hot band to spawn out of the ever-growing Seattle music scene. With a mix of punk, metal and alternative, Nirvana is follow­ ing bands from Seattle such as Alice in Chains, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam. "Nevermind" is the major label debut from Nirvana and is currently number one on thecollege music charts. The album has been out a little over a month and people are having a hard time classi­ fying this three-piece fusion sound. Nirvana has been classified as metal, punk and a grunge band. Bassist Chris Novoselic said, "We were always into punk rock and we just kind of fell into this Seattle thing. I'm just starting to under­ stand the grunge sound. It has amore organic guitar sound." "Nevermind" is causing quite a stir beyond the college music scene. "We are kind of spread­ ing out and getting more mainstream people. In doing that, we hope that we can turn them on to different types of music, like the under­ ground scene. There are more bands out there than the mainstream giant rock bands," said Novoselic. Kurt Cobain, guitarist and lead vocalist, and David Grohl, the current drummer, have only been with the band for a little over a year now. The first single and video off of "Nevermind" is "Smells LikeTeen Spirit."The song takes alook at life as a teen, especially high school. The video was filmed in a gym with some of the Nirvana fans on hand to witness. The one word that would describe "Nevermind" is energy. The album is so full of raw energy. "In Bloom" and "Lithium" are songs that have a driv­ ing guitar and an early Black Sabbath tone to them. "Come As You Are" pleads for individuality with some excellent lyrics. "Polly" is an all acoustic guitar song that is a mellow break from the loud tone set by the rest of the album. The one thing that struck me upon listening to the album is the simplicity of it all.It is reminiscent of punk rock. The music, for the most part, is simple and the lyrics are straight and to the point. The feel of the album comes through with the energy with which the songs are presented. The album has an almost live feel to it. Side two continues the flow with 'Territorial Pissings and Stay Away. Both songscontain the See NIRVANA'S page 8 1 J �The Appalachian. Horrvromino Edition Thursday Nn^mher 7 1901 Climbing the charts again Special to the Appalachian No instrumental group has benefitted more from the New Adult Contemporary radio format these last few years than Acoustic Alchemy. Featuring English guitarists Nick Webb (steel string) and Greg Carmichael (nylon string), backed by Terry Disley, keyboards; Patrick BetUson, bass;and DanTomlinson,drums, the band has scored four smash albums on both airplay and sales charts since 1987 with a lilting,easygoing string chemistry. Acoustic Alchemy's latest, "Back on the Case," textures Webb and Carmichael's chemistry with stirring grooves ranging from reggae and blues to flamenco, rock and improvisational jazz. "Our real challenge each time out is to maintain a balance between approaching different, uncharted styles and making them work to form the musical whole which is Acoustic Alchemy,"said Webb. "Back on theCase"certainly does make a case for Webb and Carmichael's enor­ mously diverse musical capabilities and desire to keep pushing themselves into previously untested areas. Webb and Carmichael also offer their boldest forays into pure jazz traditions with both "Playing For Time" and "Clear Air For Miles," which expound even fur­ ther upon the be-bop rhythms of "Refer­ ence Point's"Brubeck cover,'Take Five." "Clear Air For Miles" is part Miles Davis tribute evolving into an offbeat jazz guitar groove before astratospheric acous­ tic piano run by Disley. "Georgia Peach" is an orchestrallytinged piece whose melody grew out of its underlying rhythms, while "On the Case" is perhaps Acoustic Alchemy's most unique track to date with its sense of down home fun and blues/rock harmonica break by Terry Dee. "When the Lights Go Out" is unusual in that it's one of the rare Acoustic Alchemy songs played by only one of the guitarists, Nick Webb. "The groove is suited to the way I play, bluesy in both rhythm and melody," said Webb. The opening track, "The Alchemist," is the most identifiably Acoustic Alchemy piece in this collec­ tion, very punchy and straightforward. What makes Acoustic Alchemy's al­ bums work from a continuity standpoint is the inclusion of other players and in­ struments which perfectly complement the deep and insightful string conversa­ tions of Webb and Carmichael. Webb said, "our whole band concept is not to appeal only to guitar buffs. Part of that is that I never much liked pure guitar al­ bums. We felt if we were going to make a lot of albums with the nylon and acoustic strings, we better break it up once in a while with other instruments. We like sharing with other musicians." As children of the '60s growing up in England, Webb and Carmichael were heavily influenced by the Beatles and were only slightly interested injazz.Webb learned about jazz guitar and harmony at Leeds College of Music. Webb founded the first version of Acoustic Alchemy with classical guitarist Simon James in the early '80s. Most of their work was as a duo, though they sometimes performed with a string quar­ tet and rhythm section. Webb and James made one album, "Acoustic Alchemy," but the group failed to get anywhere. "It was long before the term New Ageeven existed, but I had laid down the groundwork," said Webb. Carmichael, who had won the Islington Songwriters Competition at age 11, stud­ ied classical guitar withCarlos Bonell and attended the London College of Music before hooking up with several different English jazz groups. He then joined Webb as James' replacement Realizing that their laid-back music was more apt to find a following in the United States than in conservative Great Britain, they took a gig as the in-flight entertainment on Virgin Airlines and lit­ erally played their way to America. Carmichael had a bassist friend in Nash­ ville who put them in contact with Tony Brown. Brown signed them before NAC radio had really caught steam, and, of course. Acoustic Alchemy's combination of acoustic/classical guitars with producer Parsons' modem, high-tech backgrounds caught on statewide in 1987. Their three subsequent albums have put them on the contemporary instrumental map to stay. "Back on The Case" literally brings a world of influences to a pure and simple musical mixture based on the reference point of the steel and nylon string guitars. The Oxford Dictionarydefines alchemy as "a medieval form of chemistry, the chief aim of which was to discover how to turn ordinary metals into gold." Acoustic Alchemy has achieved this same end be­ fore, and the unveiling of accessible yet artistic musical treasures continues now that Webb and Carmichael are "Back on The Case."

Bom in New York City, Melanie Griffith's film acting career began at the age of 17 in "Night Moves" (1975). Her next major acting role was opposite Paul Newman in "The Drowning Pool"(1975). Early 1988 saw the release of two mo­ tion pictures with Griffith: the British thriller "Stormy Monday," and Robert Redford's "The Milagro Beanfield War," in which she portrayed Flossie, the wife of a powerful landlord. Winning thecoveted role ofTess McGill in "Working Girl"(1988), her performance was honored with an Academy Award nomination for best actress, as well as a Golden Globe Award for best actress in a motion picture (comedy or musical) from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. She then starred in "Pacific Heights" and "Bonfire of the Vanities."' Born in Galena, Mo., Don Johnson at­ tended the University of Kansas. His role as tough undercover cop Sonny Crockett, on NBC-TV's crime drama "M iami Vice," catapulted Johnson to stardom. The series, which premiered in September, 1984 and ran for five seasons, introduced a new look and sound to American TV audi­ ences. The show went on to garner 15 Emmy Award nominations, including one for Don Johnson as best actor in a dramatic series.

CRAVER Appalachian Staff Writer The Appalachian State field hockey squad rounded out regular season play this past weekend competing in the Deep South Tournament at Catawba College against teams from Davidson, Wake Forest, Pfeiffer, High Point, Catawba and a *V • number of area club teams. The Lady Mountaineers opened the tournament defeating Pfeiffer in double overtime 2-1 on Fri­ day. Junior co-captain Shannon Smith scored the only ASU goal with an assist from sophomore Leigh Taylor in the regulation period to tie the game 1-1. In overtime, the Lady Apps outstroked Pfeiffer, securing three goals behind the efforts of junior co-captain Melissa Puckett, Elise Steuer and Lisa Fro mm. Despite a bad break during the game injuring strong link Christy Funai, ASU Head Coach Cathy Burleson still felt her squad put forth a strong perforinance, "Wereceivedniceplay from Puckett, Steuer, Fromm, Taylor and Smith," Burleson said. "Our goalie (Mattie Jean Hunt) peaked nicely in this game and really played well throughout the majority of the tournament" tough 1-0 decision to the Lady Indians. Catawba's only goal came midway through the first half, but ASU simply couldn't capitalize on any shot oppor­ tunities during the remainder of the match. "We could not generate much attack.

Indeed, it does appear once again that the Buc­ caneers of East Tennessee State are poised to make another run at the conference title. Despite losing Ail-American and do-everything point guard Keith "Mister" Jennings, the Bucs return three starters off of last year's 28-5 squad that made its third straight appearance in the NCAA tourna­ ment. Forwards Calvin Talford, Rodney English and Marty Story all return to starting roles this season. Talford, who averaged 14.6 points per game last season, will move to the off-gaurd position this season for ETSU Head Coach Alan LeForce. The Buccaneers will also be bolstered by the return of 6' 11" senior center Greg Dennis. A legiti­ mate AU-American candidate, Dennis sat out last season after suffering a broken foot early in the year. Dennis averaged 19.7 points and 6.5 re­ bounds per game his junior year and was named to the all-conference team in each of his first three seasons. "Obviously, replacing Jennings will be a major challenge," LeForce stated. "We should be pretty good, because we do have some outstanding play­ ers returning such as Dennis, Talford, Story and English." While the Buccaneers are gearing up for a fourth straight run at the conference championship, the Paladins of Furman are looking to build on last season's success that took them to the NTT after going 20-9 and finishing in a three-way tie for first place in the regular season conference standings. Paladin Head Coach Butch Estes will be count­ ing on the performance of returning starters Bruce Evans, Hal Henderson and Derek Waugh to lead his team. Evans, a 6'7" forward, was All-Southern Conference last season after leading Furman in scoring at 16.2 points per game. Evans also aver­ aged 6.8 rebounds an outing and led his team with a 58.4 field goal percentage. Waugh returns at center after averaging 11.8 points and 7.6 rebounds per contest in his sopho­ more campaign. The 6'0" Henderson returns at gaurd and will be counted on to provide the same type of long-range shooting that saw him connect on 41 percent of his three-point field goal attempts last season. Senior David Stamey should start at the offgaurd position for Furman while 6'10" sophomore Brian Edwards and 6'5" junior Steven Hines will both challenge for starting roles up front. UTC Head Coach Mack McCarthy, after losing three starters off of last year's 19-10 squad that tied ETSU and Furman for the conference crown, went out and landed five junior college transfers and eight newcomers in all during the off-season.

Thursday November 7 1991 jApps close regular season with 5-0 win By PATRICK SALEEBY Appalachian Staff Writer ' The Appalachian State soccer team con­ tinued its strong play in two games last week. The Mountaineers battled to a 0-0 tie with Virginia Tech, then unleashed a icoring barrage on Greensboro College, Winning 5-0. • The Appalachian booters' record im­ proved to 7-9-1. . Last Wednesday, Appalachian met Vir­ ginia Tech in Kidd Brewer Stadium. * The match was a defensive struggle from the beginning of the game until the final whistle. Both teams had numerous attacks, but neither one could put the ball in the goal. ASU goalkeeper Earl Morgan had a stellar performance, making save after save. The Mountaineer offense threatened several times to score but was also denied. The game remained even at 0-0 at the end of regulation. Once again both teams had ample scor­ ing opportunities in overtime. Still, nei­ ther team could put a point on the board. The Mountaineers' defense continued to ward off Virginia Tech attacks.

Va. • Marshall, which entered the contest Ranked 19th in the country, snapped a (wo-game losing skid with the victory, ^nproving to 5-3 overall and 2-2 in the conference. « The Catamounts were eliminated from $C titlecontention with the loss, falling to ?-3 in the league and 2-7 overall. • Western forced the game into overtime when Phil Shirley nailed a 21-yard field joal with just over six minutes to play in the fourth quarter. ; The game was the second SC contest to go intoovertime thisseason. Appalachian State defeated Furman, 26-23, in three overtimes on Oct 19. Paladins wallop Buccaneers The Furman Paladins roared back from a 14-0 deficit and slaughtered East Ten­ nessee State, 52-23, Saturday in Greenville, S.C. Junior running back Carl Tremble re­ turned after a three-week absence and rushed for 144 yards on 19 carries on the day. Paladin quarterback Hugh Swilling passed for 223 yards in the victory, which raised the Paladins' record to 6-2 overall and 3-2 in the Southern Conference. East Tennessee State fell to 1-7 overall and remained winless in the league with an 0-4 mark. The Buccaneers jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the opening quarter. The Bucs scored on their opening possession when quarterback Mark Williams hit Alphonso talented returnees along with some out­ standing newcomers. I think all four teams will be candidates to win the title. "There is not as clear a favorite going frto this season as East Tennessee State has been the past few years." • Two Appalachian State players were also chosen for the coaches' preseason allconference squad. * Senior forward Steve Spurlock and se­ nior point guard Rodney Peel were both selected for the 10-man squad. ! Spurlock averaged 18.6 points a game 4nd 7.7 rebounds a contest last season and was a unanimous selection for the squad. Peel saw just one minute of action last season due to a knee injury, but he had a fine 1989-90campaign. Peel averaged 11.5 points a game and 3.3 assists two seasons ago. Peel was also tabbed as the league's best defensive player, for the second time in his career. ETSU's Greg Dennis, who sat out all but two games last season, was chosen the conference's preseason Most Valuable Player, and WestemCarolina'sTerry Boyd was chosen the league's best all-around performer.

Alumni, this is your chance toreturn. This is the time that memoriessurface, and you visit the campus which consumed a great deal of your time and your life. This weekend, your college days will be remembered. However, Homecoming should not be the only time you remember your alma mater. Keep Appalachian State on your minds at all times. You devoted your life to the institution when you first stepped into Boone as a freshman. Remain devoted. Today's Appalachian students are faced with many of the same problems that you, as a student, were faced with. Today's students have other concerns as well. The state of North Carolina has a number of financial hardships to overcome in the ensuing years. Today, as in years past, state legislators, as well as campus administrators, are forced to make tough decisions regarding the use of funds. Outside input is needed to see that these decisions are made wisely. Alumni, you can aid your alma mater and today's students by providing input. Your group as an influential power is often neglected. Do not allow yourselves to be neglected. You have a voice. Use it. Often, your voice is more powerful than that of students. Both students and administrators recognize that fact. You have graduated. You have moved into the professional world, establishing yourselves in prominent positions through­ out the state and nation. In many cases, graduates are more financially stable than undergraduates. Almuni, apply your influence. Keep in touch with the happenings of your alma mater. Be aware of the problems that students are facing. Realize that these are financially tough times and every dollar should be utilized. Be aware that decisions are made every day as to the future of your alma mater. Those decisions affect today's students, future students, yourselves and future alumni. Whether it's a decision regarding a student fee increase or the building of a new campus facility, you should make yourselves knowledgeable about such decisions. Once you attain the knowledge of today's happenings, you can affect the future. Keep in touch with legislators and administrators. Allow your voice to be heard. Let those whoaffect today's students know that youcare. Keep in mind that you were students once, and feel obligated to help those that are here today. Alumni, your support of today's students is appreciated. Enjoy this Home­ coming, but most importantly, remember this is your home. Aid your family members by applying your influence to today's decisions at Appalachian State University. "Baseball is a number-crunching game." —Marcus McCachren The fervor and fanaticism so loudly expressed over the Atlanta Braves' rise to World Series fame has all but ended; say the word "Braves" these days, and you are more likely to get a sour look than a sweet one. There is even talk in some Southern cities of deleting a certain line from the National Anthem so that we will not have to continually wallow in our shame while waiting for the first ball to be thrown out. It all goes to show us something we should have known by this point; if hope springs eternal, disappointment stings profoundly. I can't immediately recall anyone I know or have met who wouldn't have given an unsolicited testimonial on the excellence of the Braves and the great game with no more provocation than the nod of a head or the wave of a hand. "My wife even watched part of the game," remarked one newfound enthusiast. Post-game parties thundered into the early hours of morning, sometimes until daylight, as students heralded new and much-needed heroes; even on nights when At­ lanta didn't win, services were held long into the night. mourning the loss of stardom and vowing revenge against the heretical Twins. Betting pools ran amok, even as far along as the bottom of the ninth inning. Sometimes even into extra innings, odds were layed on sliders versus change-ups and steals versus throw-outs. The bookies were all betting Twins; as it turns out, this was the smart money, but the bookies weren't betting smart, they were betting out of fear and necessity. Nobody was betting on the Twins; to do so would be heresy or worse. Now the nights are quieter, the lapses between words longer, the faces more dour and less expectant. What was it that made us so hopeful, and now makes us so despon­ dent? • The answer is encapsulated in the comment that began this essay: baseball is a game of numbers. And this is true; the real baseball nuts can tell you who batted what during which season with which team against which team and why. The outcome of the season, or so it appears, is provable by the manipulation and application of the statistics leading up to it. The stats said Atlanta should be where it was, said they should have been able to win the games hands down and said finally that it was at least Dossible. if no t Drobable. that Atlanta could have won possible, not probable, that the final game of the World Series. This one group of statistics laden with momentum should have been able to win game seven of the World Series. But they didn't. And the way the game was played we don' t even have the opportunity to gripe about the umpires and line judges. And we certainly can't complain about the stats. The stats, after all, are real. We can' t depend on stats anywhereelse in life.The stats say that drinking and driving is a leading causeof highway death. Still, folks drink and drive. The stats from the Persian Gulf war say that we killed more of our own people than they did; everybody knows that a stat like that can'tbetrue, and even if it is, we shouldn't have won the war with it. Everybody believes that smoking causes cancer and cholesterol causes hean believe the stats that say so. ^ The bookies knew better. They weren't!* this time.They were betting on hearts and They were betting on dreams, and every| ^ dreams always get the bad odds.

Editor's note:Williams is a graduate studert inb VneiM 0fT No yearbook means memories are los By BRIAN WINKLER Appalachian Staff Writer Whoa, where did I go? I was here a minute ago, but now I can't be found. Well, I've got to be in here, so let me just check the yearbook index for what page I'm on. Well, maybe I'm wrong—the in­ dex says I'm not in here after all. I can still remember the very first day I ever went to school. My mom asked me if I would be okay as she parked the car and w alked withme up to theelementary school building. We stood out in front of the building for a minute or two while she assured me that everything would be fun, and the people would be nice. I leaned up against a wooden fence near the lunch­ room, and she took my picture. Unbe­ knownst to me at the time, this "first day at school" picture would become one of my favorites in the family photo album. Part of what I remember about that first day at school I could never forget no matter how hard I might try, while other parts (such as the clothes I was wearing) I needed a picture to help jog my memory. That's really what pictures are all about anyway: preserving moments in an eternal memory bank so that they are never forgotten. I wish my memory was as good as a picture. There are so many things I've done since I was little that I can remember. Yet every day these moments are slowly disappearing from my recollection. Since I have no written notes or photographs, once these memories aregone, theseevents are also effectively gone. Many people wonder about a lone tree falling in the woods.

A sleepy college student rolls over in her bed and hits her alarm clock, knocks it to the floor and mumbles a few choice words. She rolls back over, stares at the ceiling and real­ izes first that the noise has not stopped, and then that it is not her alarm clock that is making the noise in the fust place. Our college student comes to her con­ clusion using two pieces of evidenceone, her alarm clock has never been that loud, and two, her alarm clock does not make a noise so closely resembling an electric guitar and drums. So, our college student once again rolls over, retrieves her battered alarm clock from the floor, and glances at it through one half-opened eye. It is 8:15 a.m. The college student puUs her comforter over her head, shuts her eyes and draws a final conclusion: the Anthrax fans living upstairs must have a nine o'clock class. Quiet-hour rules in residence halls state that no resident can play loud music be­ tween the hours of 8 p.m. and 8 a m on weekdays and 12 a.m. to 10 a.m.on week­ ends. Usually this helps eliminate some incidents like the one described above. The only change in quiet-hour rules that I would advocate is the extension of week day quiet hours to 10 a.m. for us late sleepiers.

ABOUT THIS PAGE Appalachian News, official University News and announce­ ments, appears in each issue of the paper. This special edition on "Alcohol And You" is presented as an educa­ tional, informative public service. Decisions regarding alcohol consumption are a matter of individual belief and practice. The information contained within has been de­ signed to offer information in your decision-making pro­ cess. Information for this report comes from "Alcohol Practices, Policies, and Potentials of American Colleges and Univer­ sities." It was published by the U.S. Department of Health And Human Services.

QUESTION : There seems to be a perception among some students • Since most males are con siderably heavier, and because of that regardless of where a party might be going on, town or county, this difference in body fat, a young woman who tries to "keep police officials are "out to break them up." up" with male drinking partners will almost always lose. She will become more impaired even when drinking the same amount of alcohol. LT. EDMISTEN ; if students feel that way then it's an incorrect perception. As I said, we are not out there actively looking for these • Drinking is frequently a problemeven in^absence of parties. Believe me, if we're at a party it's because we received a call alcoholism to it. We have too much to do to just be out there riding around looking for parties. • Alcoholism is a disease. Drinkingisabehavior. Onecannot contract alcoholism without drinking. Most drinkers do not contract alcoholism. QUESTION ; What is the typical procedure when the Sheriffs department responds to a call? • Last year, alcohol lifted the spirits of 100,000 Americans (the number of Americans who died in alcohol- related accidents.) LT. EDMISTEN ; It would depend on the individual circumstances at the time. Our.normal department procedure is to issue a warning the first time. If we receive a second complaint from the same party we issue citations to the person in charge of that party since they are responsible for anything that occurs there.

A mixed drink made with one shot 1 1/2 ounces of hard liquor has more alcohol in it as a 12-ounce can of beer or a 5 ounce glass of wine. I can personally relate to this as I had a drunk driver hit me head on six years ago, knocking me out of work for three months. Drunk driving is not only costly to the driver, but also to the victim whether it may be loss of property, time off from work, or loss of life. -Suiuosiod ioqoo[B pagBO si siqj, •qjB9p asnBO UB3 ( 0J9 'S9UIB3/SJS9JU03 3ui -sjuup) jsbj 001 'loqoajB ipnui ooj SupiuuQ •qjBaaq aqj jo 'auun 'jb9ms bia paSuBqsun paiBUiuiqa si pauinsuoo ioqoo[B jo %g jnoqs A[uq "U9aii aqi Aq 03H P118 300 °JU1 pazqoqBiaui si loqoDjB jo %g6 * -asj •saiiaoj aaqSiq ui saiBui 3uouib si 3JBJ jsaqSiq puooas aqj, •anax 21 '9TUX'I1 9jiqA\ •J09XJ9 [BUIIUIU1 A[9AIJBJBdU103 B 9ABL[ '010 'SJJULip UI UOlJBUOqiBO 'i93{uup JO pOOUIl 'qoBuiojs ui pooj sb qons sjojobj aaqiQ * •9TUX " •jnoq J9d (loqoojB aand) jouBqja jo saouno Z/T °7 £/l jnoqe azqoqBiaui ubd j9aij aqj, %0I' si Jiuiq aqj, 'jpis •9TUJ •9S[Bj noA 9j(bui Abui ;i jng •9S[Bj 'JJB39J ou SBq jnq 'Suiuoipunj st uosjad y BIS9UUIBJ0 adA; BsijnojpBig •asiej P9SB9J3UI SI 9JBI 4. A person's mood can influence the way alcohol affects them. Q S ION . There are other aspects to drinking besides actual consumption. Domestic violence, date rape, traffic accidents and fatalities are just some of the things that come to mind. LT. EDMISTEN ; Nationwide studies have repeatedly shown that approximately 50 percent of all fatalities are alcohol related. If you check the statistics for Watauga County I believe youll find that at least 50 percent if not more of the county's fatalities involve a drinking driver in one way or another.

"Beirole model and a friend to youth is ({ratifying for our volunteers." lis year ACT, Appalachian and the •unity Together, has trained more tlOOnew volunteers. ACT now has approximately 300 active volunteers, a number that has steadily increased since ACT was formed four years ago, accord­ ing to Kerry Claus, an ACT volunteer. "ACT is an organization that is de­ signed to bridge the gap between students and residents of the local community," Claus said. Claus said she thinks one reason ACT has more volunteers than before is be­ cause of the publicity ACT has received and because of ACT's relocation to the Plemmons Student Union, which has cre­ ated more visibility for the organization. "I think another reason more students are volunteering now than before is be­ cause a lot of students have extra time, and they want to give their time to others," said Claus. "Another reason students volunteer is because it provides them with good expe­ rience in their fields, and it helps prepare them for their careers once they gradu­ ate," she added. Claus said she feels another reason for the increase in volunteerism is because of the changing attitude of college students. "Our generation has become aware that money isn't the most important thing," said Claus. "People are realizing that giving of yourself in other ways and not getting monetary return is important also." According toClaus, volunteering makes students feel good about themselves. "A lot of times volunteers feel bad saying that volunteering helped them be­ cause they feel like they are supposed to be helping others," Claus said. According to Rhea Hebert, the literacy program librarian with the Watauga County Literacy Association, it is very hard to help someone and not get some­ thing back from it. The literacy associa­ tion helps Watauga County residents who are 16 and older leant to read. "Many people who enjoy reading vol­ unteer with us because it upsets them that some people are missing out on the enjoy­ ment of reading because they can'tread," said Hebert. Hebert said the organization consists of 38 volunteers, and that several of the volunteers are college students. "The volunteers I have talked to volun­ teer because they get something out of it. It makes them feel good about them­ selves," said Hebert.

Off-trail wanderings are causing wildlife destruction SUZILANDIS ipalachian Staff Writer litis who wander off trails at GrandittMountain and the Blue Ridge Parkiy are causing problems in a delicate tkjical system, said Brian Repass, ndfaiher Mountain park ranger and 1student. Manawha Trail on the Blue Ridge Is»y and the trails of Grandfather •tain are losing unique plants due to fewho venture off the trails. oan reforms uggested Off-trail exploring has increased with the presence of the Via-duct, according to Repass. The Via-duct was built to keep the natural environment intact. Instead, the Via-duct is tempting people to park their cars and venture up the mountain, making their own trails. Repass said. These bushwack or unauthorized trails are not only destroying the plants, but are also speeding up the process of erosion. The exposed soilon self-made trails com­ plicates the damages to the area and spe­ cies, thus, adding a new dimension to the problem. "The basis of our job is informing the people. They don't realize they're trampling on endangered species," said Repass.

(CPS)—Too bad money does not grow on trees. If it did, colleges and universities would not be so worried—or so frustrated.They would not be chop-chop-chopping away at their budgets, either. Financial problems resulting from state and federal cuts are hurling schools from east to west, big to small. Administrators across the board are trimming expenses wherever they can with only one general rule of thumb—under no circumstances eliminate anything that will compromise the quality of education. Unfortunately, everything else is fair game. Travel expenses, marching bands, stu­ dent government associations, faculty pay, custodial and construction jobs, college radio and new computers—hardly any­ thing is exempt these days as administra­ tors try to plan for the 1992-93 academic year while still recovering—or falling further into debt—from 1991-92. "We've just about reached the limit," said one frustrated academic. Others agree and are trying hard to justify cuts and tuition increases to a student population growing more hostile. In the past six weeks, students in both Florida and Iowa held statewide protests against massive cuts and tuition increases in the two states. Iowa students dec ided to boycott classes for a day, while the Florida students marched on the Capitol and subsequently started a shouting match with Gov. Lawton Chiles. In other states, protests have gained less attention. Administrators say that for each angry student there is an empalhetic one. They add that as long as the cuts do not affect academic programming di­ rectly, students will not notice much dif­ ference. The budget cuts "will affect us as a community—we've had to cutpositions," Chris Cihlar, director of public informa­ tion at St. Mary's College in Maryland, told the student newspaper, when a $1.5 million cut was announced. "But from the student's point of view, the cuts will prob­ ably not be noticed. You can't sacrifice your main purpose, which is your aca­ demic program and your future." Some of the non-academic cuts across the country include: • The elimination of nearly one-third of the custodial staff at Iowa State, where offices and research laboratories are no longer part of a daily maintenance clean­ ing program. John Sluis, assistant director of facili­ ties management,said the 158-person staff lost 48 people. "Everyone at the university is aware that the budget is tight," he said. "The service side is doing its part to maintain the academic side....While no one enjoys it, they've been accepting it." Iowa State has also trimmed student hours at its campus radio station, WOIAM and FM, among other cuts. • The University of Nebraska at Lin­ coln is considering the elimination of its construction division that works much like an independent contractor for the university. • Middle Tennessee Stale University, under orders from the Tennessee Board of Regents chancellor, has frozen out-ofstate and out-of-country travel that is not considered essential. Essential travel includes trips to pro­ fessional workshops or trips to confer­ ences at which a professional paper is presented. That freeze, coupled w ith a freeze on equipment purchasing for such items as computers, has"enabled us to saveenough money to keep everything the same" in 1992-93, said Ramona Rice, Middle Tennessee's budget and systems planning director. The more than SI.5 million in savings from the freezes will prevent cuts. Rice says. She adds that about 70 percent of the savings will be reallocated to educational programs. "We are maybe different because we don't have much fat in our administrative services to cut," Rice said. "So, we don't have as much flexibility" in what the school can eliminate. • At the University of Arizona, admin­ istrators eliminated the marching band last year—a $102,000 cut that was re­ versed after an outcry. Still, the band only recovered S82.000 in funding from the school and was forced to raise the rest. Among other things, the band sold Tshirts. • At St. Bonaventure University in New York, the student government has had money temporarily taken from its budget until the administration re-evaluates sec­ ond semester enrollment to determine how much it will return. Student Government President Ed Garry said all the school's departments are handing over money from accounts and are not spending more than half of their allocated funds before Nov. 30, when the school re-examines its situation. 'To my knowledge, most of the money will be replenished," Garry said. But he adds that drops in enrollment will hurt student organizations because they are funded almost solely by a student activity fee. "We aren't really facing cuts," he said. "There's just not enough money for us to be as extravagant as we used to be. We're trying to maintain quality without spend­ ing as much money." • Allegheny College in Pennsylvania echoes Garry's sentiments. The school is See BUDGET page 2 �The Appalachian. Tuesday.

"It's kind of like the bumper stickers that say 'Think Globally, Act Locally,' in that what little you do here, for your community will make a difference in the world," Claus added. Claus said she feels that there will al­ ways be a need for volunteerism even though she would like to say that all the world's problems will soon be solved Claus said that she doesn't feel volunteerism is a trend. "I think that most of our volunteers are very sincere," said Claus. "If they were only volunteering because it was the trendy thing to do, then I don't think they would last long because volunteering is a lot of hard work."

This natural phenomenon, the Brown Mountain Lights,offers an eveningof cheap,readily available and exciting entertainment. These lights occur on and about Brown Moun­ tain, along, low, even-crested ridge in the foothills of the North Carolina mountains. When they first appear, they are about twice the size of a star or larger. Sometimes they flare up with a silent explo­ sion. Other times they rise up and away, floating like a glowing bubble, and finally "pop" and disap­ pear. Some stories depict the lights "dancing" across the mountain and accomplishing Herculean feats, while others offer "scientific" explanations. Much of the lights' mystique lies in their under­ stated brilliance and their unexplainable origin. The Brown Mountain Lights were first seen around the year 1200. According to Cherokee legend, the lights started appearing after a battle was fought between the Catawba and Cherokee Indians near Brown Mountain. The legend said that the lights were the spirits of the Indian maidens searching for their loved ones who had died in the battle. Even today, they are still searching. Since 1771, when aGerman engineer first docu­ mented them, the lights have puzzled scientists. Gerard William de Brahm said, "the mountains emit nitrous v apors which are borne by the wind, and when laden winds meet each other the niter inflames, sulphurates and deteriorates." At least this scientific explanation is both an accurate de­ scription and a plausible explanation. Later explanations are less accurate and believ­ able. In the early 1900s the lights were supposedly "discovered." So many people flocked to see the ' new" attraction that the U.S. Geological Survey sent an investigator in 1913 todismiss the phenom­ enon. After only two nights of observation, the investigator concluded that most of the lights were the locomotive headlights, automobile headlights and stationary lights from the Catawba River Val­ ley beyond Brown Mountain. It did not take long to pjrove the survey's specu­ lation wrong. In 1916, a flood devastated the Catawba Valley, washing away the roads and knocking out the railroads.The lights kept appear­ ing with unceasing regularity. In fact, right after the flood they were even more frequent. Since then, some people have advanced the theory that the lights are a mirage, the refractions and reflections from the nearby cities of Lenoir, Hickory, Morganton and Blowing Rock. They say the viewer is unaware of the fact that he is at a higher elevation than Brown Mountain. The lights merely appear to be on the crest of or floating above the mountain but are really the lights from the cities beyond the mountain. To test the merit of this theory, this writer observed the mountain from about a mile away and at a definitely lower eleva­ tion. From there I saw one of the most brilliant displays of the Brown Mountain lights I've ever seen. From what those particular theorists and the Geological Survey saw, the above theory may be 100 piercent true. Frommostviewpioints, atahigher elevation than Brown Mountain, city lights from Colletsville, Lenoir and Hudson are seen above the crest of Brown Mountain. Even in 1913, the gas street lamps and headlights could have deceived many viewers. Now, on an unclear night a person can easily look above Brown Mountain and see strange lights appear, shimmer, disappear, then suddenly flare up. On a crystal-clear night, the city lights seem to dance, waver and shimmer. A star will move if you look at it long and hard enough. And now the golden age of airplanes has supplied hundreds of new "Brown Mountain Lights." But anyone who has ever seen the real Brown Mountain Lights knows that they are not city lights, not anything manmade and not something to be dismissed by a simple explanation. Where were the city lights or locomotive headlights in 1200? after the flood in 1916? Does a city light float two or three miles through the air? I have viewed Brown Mountain nearly 30 times and from six different locations and seen the lights on a dozen trips and from four of those locations. The last light was no more explainable than the first. It was no less exciting. In fact, for me, the last light is always the most exciting. It is what keeps me coming back. Most people that have seen the real Brown Mountain lights would agree that it is not a case of "See one, you seen 'em all," or "Once ya seen 'em, ya seen 'em. No need to go back." It's just the opposite—they have a mystical allure that en­ chants people and draws them back continuously. People that have seen false "Brown Mountain lights" might very well go away indifferent, say­ ing, "So what?" But seeing the real lights makes an unmistakable impression. So, are you ready to join the pursuit? Here's how. Grab a girl or guy, bring a blanket, and plan for aromantic evening. Or gather a group of friends and bring the munchies. Or go alone and enjoy the peaceful solitude and magnitude of nature at night. Here are the details needed to plan a night at Wiseman's View, the best place to see the lights. •When to go—A rainy night is not good for the lights or comfort. Dark nights are best—the closer to a new moon the better (or when there is a high, dense cloud over). Avoid foggynights—the clearer the better. (Remember that weather conditions some 30 miles away and at higher altitudesmay be different than in Boone.) •What to bring—Most importantly, you will need a flashlight (the walk from the parking lot to the lookout is about a hundred yards on a wooded trail) and warm clothing (it's usually windier and colder there). A blanket helps if you're going to stay awhile (and maybe a little midnight snack). There are also camping sites within a few miles of the lookout (no permits required between Nov. 1 and April 30). Also bring your patience. •When to leave Boone—Try to leave about an hour before dark. The trip takes about 45 minutes. If you get there before dark you can better orient yourself (so you'll know where to look). Plus, some pieople say the lights are more frequent just after dark. (Make sure you have plenty of gas before you leave. There are not many gas stations on the way.) •How to get there—Go down South 105 for about 18 miles until you get to Linville. You'll see a single stop light—go straight. In about three and a half miles you will reach a T-intersection. Turn left and you will beon South 221. (Remember this intersection so you won't miss it on the way back.) In about one and a half miles the road will fork. Stay on 221 by turning right. Be careful—there are some tricky curves on this road.

Sandy Feutz, a junior majoring in social work, had an idea. Feutz knew she could do something to help solve the problem of the large amount of waste piroduced on campus. She had heard from a friend about a school that required its students to use reusuable cups. She then went to see Ron Dubberly, food services director, with this idea in mind. Dubberly was eager to help cut down on waste and thought the idea of using reusuable cups on campus was fea­ sible. Feutz applied for a Think Globally, Act Locally award. The University Environmental Issues Com­ mittee distributes $2,000 annually in Think Glo­ bally, Act Locally awards. The awards Are given (usually in sums of no greater than $1,000) to pieople who propiose a piroject attempting to solve, concerning or studying alocal env ironmental prob­ lem. Feutz received the award and started the project. Food Services ordered 1,600 small and 1,600 large insulated cups to sell for $1.99 and $2.29 respectively. Feutz was amazed at how quickly the cups sold out. More cups were ordered and now 7,000of these cups have been sold, which Dubberly THE CUP LADY: Sandy Feutz, eating with friend Jenny Mason, has been featured in the November estimates to have saved a million disposable issue of Glamour magazine for her efforts in promoting reusable cups not only on campus but in the cups."Sandy was instrumental in getting the project community as well. off the ground," Dubberly said. "Without her help we might still be only thinking about offering cups." The cupis are insulated, so they are useful for either hot or cold drinks. Students receive a dis­ count on drink purchases for using the cupis at any food service location on campus. Feutz did not stop at this point, though. She apiplied for another Think Globally, Act Locally award to continue the project. Feutz went on to local restaurants to interest them in accepting the cups. First she sent out form letters, followed up with phone calls to see who was interested. She then returned to talk with interested restaurant managers. Fortunately, many restaurants gave a positiveresponse. Bob Mowery of OurDaily Bread said of Feutz's piroject, "When she prresented the idea to me I knew it was a good idea because it helps the environment and the students at the same time." Part of the money from the award will go toward advertising. Ads shall be placed in The Appalachian newspapier, announcing restaurants accept­ ing food services cups. Flyers will also be printed in a campaign to remind pieople to consistently use their cupis. The rest of the award money will go to the printing of decals. Restaurant owners can place these in their windows or doors indicating the establishment's acceptance of the cupis. Some of the restaurants honoring the cups will offer dis­ counts for bringing in and using the food services cups. Some will charge only the price of a refill, See STUDENT page 6 Homecoming events designed to entertain all By JENNIFER FORNARO Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian State University's 1991 Home­ coming celebration on Nov. 8 and 9 offers many exciting events designed to entertain all types of crowds. The festivitiesinclude amixture of old and new events. Homecoming kicks of f this year on Friday, No v. 8 at 4 p.m. with the annual Homecoming Parade. The parade will travel through downtown Boone, making a circle around the campus. Sebey Jones has been invited as Grand Marshall this year. Homecoming is also a time of alumni, and there are many activities planned for the returning Alumni. A Distinguished Alumni Award Social and Dinner will be held at the Broyhill Inn Friday night at 6 p.m. Following the dinner, there will be an Alumni Kickoff Party and Dance, also at the Broyhill Inn. "Alumni are an impiortant part of Appalachian. They are the loyal fans, and they show so much support," said William Birch, a graduate student. "When the alumni come back, you get to see familiar faces and reunite with old friends." Homecoming Day, Saturday, Nov. 9, will begin with the Alumni Council Breakfast at Broyhill Inn at 9 a.m. Throughout the morning, there will be a Depiartmental Opien House on campus. The Tailgate Party begins at 10:30 a.m. at Duck Pond Field. There will be music and food provided by a host of vendors. The Student Government Association has planned a Surprise Pre-Game Show at 1 p.m. in Kidd Brewer Stadium. "We are excited about the show. It is definitely worth everyone coming out," said Terie McHale. Appalachian State plays Mississippi College at 1:30 p.m. in Kidd Brewer Stadium. "The Homecoming football game is the biggest game of the year. The stadium is full of people," said Wyndy Hill, a senior of ASU. "Everyone is celebrating Appalachian." The fun doesn't end there! Class Reunion So­ cials and a General Alumni Reception will follow the game at 4:30 p.m. at the Broyhill Inn. Another Alumni Dance will be at 9 p.m. Saturday night There will be a live DJ Party at Legends beginning at 9:30 p.m. "Homecoming bringsout the spirit of the school. As a player, I feel like it makes the emotions flow to have the stadium full and the crowds into the game," said Will Barber of the football team. "The team doesn't get to enjoy all of the festivities going on, so the game is really our Homecoming." Internship Fair offers potential opportunities By KELLY KEITH Appalachian Staff Writer The Career Development Center will sponsor an Internship Fair Wednesday, Nov. 6. The event will be held in the mini mall of the student union from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thirty businesses will be available to present information to students on internship experiences. Companies from North Carolina, Tennessee and New Hampshire will.be represented at the fair. Students will have the opportunity to talk with many different companies at the fair. They can choose which internship/work experience best re­ lates to their academic training. Many of the com^^ • panies specify which major their internship would be most beneficial to; however, several are openended, and any major is acceptable. The purpose of an internship is to serve as a bridge between the classroom and the working world. Internships offer practical experience, so the students have a chance tosee if this type of work is what they want to do after graduation. Students can also gain job hunting experience and establish contacts. "The purpose of the Internship Fair is to provide students with the opportunity for future careers," said Debbie Thomas. Many ASU departments will be participating in the fair including communications, English and history. They will be available to answer any queswi-iiu iUM •• • w .»w. »..•» tions on the various careers in their particular major. An ASU graduate student Doug Dewar experi­ enced the benefits of working as an intern this past summer. He worked with the North Carolina State Government Internship Program in Raleigh. "Through this internship, I really got to see what the government and the people who work in gov­ ernment really do. It was a very rewarding experi­ ence," said Dewar. Dewar encourages students to try and get an internship in their field."It will give you a grasp on what you want to do in your career and give you the opportunity to learn more skills that will help you later in your career." Some of the companies attending the Internship Fair are from different areas in government includ- ing: Institute of Government, Legal Services of the Blue Ridge, N.C. Department of Corrections, Watauga Correctional Center and the N.C. State Government Internship Program. Other organizations that will be represented are: Franklin Life, Hickory Museum of Art, IDS Finan­ cial Services, N.C. Amateur Sports, Student Con­ servation Association, Watauga County Parks and Recreation, Communi-Care/Pro-Rehab, Hospital­ ity House, Watauga Youth Network and Camp Cheerio. The Internship Fair is an excellent time to learn about careers and open internship positions.

Just after the parkway, there will be a small motel on the left. Then about amile later, around a downhill curve -to the right, you will see the bright lights of the Linville Falls Motel and Restaurant. Turn left here onto highway 183. After about one mile on 183, you will be going downhill, and ahead you will see a big curve to the left. You will see a large brown sign saying, "Linville Gorge Wil­ derness Area," and a gravel road. Go onto jhis gravel road. (A couple of miles ahead, small section of the road will be paved— tay left and the road will turn to gravel figain.) After about three and a half miles, the gravel road will fork—you will see a Sign saying "Wiseman's View"—go left. A few hundred yards will bring you to a large parking lot. The overlook is down the trail. At the end of the trail is aclearing. Go down the steps. •What you will see—Looking straight ahead you will see two high mountain peaks. The one to the right with a flat top is Table Rock Mountain. The one to the left is Hawksbill Mountain. (If you look Closely it looks like a hawk's bill.) These ( two peaks areconnected by a ridge. Brown Mountain is the long, flat ridge that spans nearly the entire gap between Table Rock and Hawksbill. Look at the crest of Brown Mountain to the left, the side away from the city. But also look at the top of Table Rock. Many of the lights have been seen here. Some­ times there will be a bright explosion. Sometimes they will look like a star that has just risen over Table Rock—until they float away. They will look like glowing spheres—they usually rise and float to­ ward the left, sometimes completely past the city, then go out. Look for the same things over Brown Mountain. •What to expect—Expect a lot of fun. The lights are finicky, though. They don't appear everynight. Sometimes they won't appear for hours and then will start appear­ ing all of a sudden. An average interval between lights when they do appear is five or ten minutes. I've never stayed for more than a couple of hours without at least one. Join the Brown Mountain Light pur­ suit! Good Luck. Have hope and have fun. If you'd like to participate in a research study, send detailed accounts of sightings, along with a telephone number, to ASU Box 16112.

The local restaurants that have so far agreed to honor the cups are Rax, Our Daily Bread, Boone Drug, Burger King, Hardee's, Cruiser's, TCBY and 1 Can't Believe It's Yogurt! Boone Mall eateries that accept the cups include The Lettuce Leaf, The Pit Stop and Cookies and Cones. Only four out of 22 local restaurants have given Feutz a defmite answerofno: McDonald's, Wendy's, Sub­ way and King Street Pharmacy. For her efforts Feutz was chosen as student environmentalist of the year by the University Environmental Issues Com­ mittee. She also has been featured in The Watauga Democrat and the Mountain Times newspapers and is featured in this November's issue of Glamour magazine. Glamour now includes a section called "Save the Planet." Feutz's friend Kim Stephens wrote in about the cup project. Glamour called Feutz and interviewed her. Feutz is glad that her efforts turned out to be so beneficial. "I was really surprised because it is pretty weird that I (just said) 'Let's get these cups; I mean, this would be a good idea,' and it's really working," Feutz said. "I'm very happy it's working."

Onthirddown from the13, quarterback I.Campbell had his pass tipped by senior linebacker Bill Melby, and senior linebacker David Brodsky stepped up and made the interception to thwart the Appa­ lachian scoring opportunity. The Mountaineer defense came upwith a turnover on the ensuing Bulldog posses­ sion to keep ASU's hopes alive. On sec­ ond down from the Mountaineer 33-yard line, quarterback Jack Douglas faked a reverse and threw the ball deep to wide receiver Cornell Caldwell, but ASU cornerback Mark Mayo was in great posi­ tion and made the interception in the end zone. The interception was Mayo's fourth of the year and gave the ball back to the Apps with over nine minutes remaining in the game. After moving the ball down to The Citadel 35-yard line, the Mountaineers faced a fourth and nine situation with five minutes left to play.Campbell found tight end Jon Marx open on the right sideline for 13 yards to keep the drive alive. Three plays later, after an illegal proce­ dure penalty pushed ASU back five yards, Applachian faced a fourth-and-ten at the 22-yard line. This time, Campbell forced a pass into double coverage at the fiveyard line. Marx was again the intended receiver but was unable to come up with the leaping grab. The Bulldogs were then able to run out the remaining 3:36 and hand the Moun­ taineers their first conference defeat of the season. ASU is now 6-3 overall and 5 -1 in league play. Despite scoring only 10 points, Appa­ lachian was able to move the ball effec­ tively against The Citadel defense. The Mountaineers racked up 358 total yards compared to the Bulldogs 339. Campbell completed 22 of 32 passes for 205 yards, and freshman tailback Chip Hooks car­ ried the ball 20 times for 93 yards. Douglas was the star for the Bulldogs, rushing for 115 yards and throwing for 90 more, including a52-yard touchdown pass with one minute remaining in the first half. After ASU had marched 75 yards in 11 plays, capped by fullback J.K. Reaves' one yard touchdown dive, The Citadel took over at their own 20 with 2:48 to play in the second quarter. Four straight running plays moved the ball to the 48-yard line where Douglas faked an option and then found Caldwell open behind Appalachian free safety Gary Dandridge. The pass hitCaldwell instride at the 15-yard line, and Caldwell streaked into the end zone to push the Bulldog lead back to 10 points. "I think it's obvious how important that play was," Moore said. "It's a play that takes a lot out of you. I thought we over­ came that play, and we had every oppor­ tunity to win that ballgame, and we didn't take advantage." "We knew the free safety was flying through the gaps," Douglas explained of the game-winning play. "They were read­ ing the crack block as options, so the receiver faked the crack block and then ran down the field. We thought we might be able to beat them deep, but they have such a good secondary we weren't sure."

"We think that with four ills and (point guard Rodney) Peel 1we're serious contenders to win the pin son and tournament champikip," The Mountaineers return a frontcourt that is perhaps the most talented and in­ timidating front line in the conference. The trio of 6'8" forward Steve Spurlock, 6'7" forward Ricky Nedd and 6'9"center Tim Powers helped the Mountaineers set a conference record with 155 blocked shots last season. Spurlock is the Apps' biggest offensive weapon and shot blocker.The senior from Omaha, Ne., drilled home 18.6 points a contest and rejected 56 shots en route to an all-conference selection. Powers, also a native of Omaha, is a solid offensive player and a banger on the boards. He was the third-leading scorer for the Mountaineers last season and paced the squad with 8.1 rebounds a contest. Nedd, a sophomore out of New York City, was a pleasant surprise in his rookie season for Appalachian. He started in 20 games as a frosh and finished the year with an 11.6 scoring clip. Nedd topped the squad in field goal percentage, hitting an astounding 69.9 percent of his shots. He finished the year just eight field goals shy of qualifying for the conference and NCAA field goal percentage ranking. The Mountaineers' depth in the frontcourt was hindered thissummer when Broderick Parker, who contributed 13.4 points and 5.7 rebounds a game, was de­ clared academically ineligible. By LYDIA E.

Leigh Wallace, seen on the left, and Nicole Disher, on the right, both placed in the top 10 for ASU. Appalachian State totaled two all-con­ ference performances and 41 points to finish second in the SC Cross Country Championships behind powerhouse East Tennessee State who finished one-twothree to total 17 points in the meet. Marshall finished third with 80, fol­ lowed by Furman with 106 points. Ten­ nessee-Chattanooga, Western Carolina, Virginia Military and TheCitadel rounded out the meet with 124, 135, 140 and 204 points respectively. "It wasn't as close as we had hoped, but I am pleased with the team. ETSU is a very strong team and we knew that they only had five decent runners and if they had any problems, we could make it an interesting race, but their guys held to­ gether to capture five of the top six places and win the meet," ASU Head Coach Al Fereshetian said. The M ountaineers werepaced bysopho­ more Billy Pcmberton who clocked 25:25 on the 8-kilometer course to finish fourth overall, and senior Steve Simandle fin­ ished 10th with a personal best time of 26:10. Both competitors were named allconference. Freshman Brian Miesch finished 14th at 26:26 followed by senior Mike Bowers at 18th with a personal best time of 26:39. Junior Brian Watkins rounded out the ASU top five with a 25th place finish and a time of 26:59. "You have to look at the times, not the places. The conditions on the day of the race were relatively bad, and the weather affected everyone to a certain extent. It was 35 degrees and there were 25 mile per hour winds blowing that day off of the lake, and itwas extremely brisk andslowed everyone's performance. We ran the way we wanted to, and I am very pleased with us. I felt comfortable with our perfor­ mance despite the gap in the score be­ cause our guys tried to find a way to win, and we put ourselves in good position. ETSU is just the favorite now. It is an honor to have such a strong squad in our conference to compete with," Fereshetian said. Freshmen M ark Noble, Robert Kirkland and Brad Price also turned in good perfor­ mances for the Apps. Noble finished 30th i with a27:14 clocking, while Kirkland and ' Price finished 37th and 39th with respec-j live times of 27:33 and 27:42. In addition to the weather conditions * that may have inhibited performance, the, Mountaineers had a bad break as senior David Ess fell at the beginning of the race, never to fully recover, finishing at thei bottom of the pack.

The Mountaineers' next meet will be the NCAA District III meet in two weeks. "We will be contending for the top 15. The best programs in the nation will be represented here, and we should be able to pull together and present a good team," Fereshetian said. tady Mountaineers drop four consecutive volleyball matches tyulachian falls to Southern Conference Champion East Tennessee State, loses three in Navy Forrestal Tournament K—- Y^bian Staff Reports Iters had^3^'411 ^tate Mount»ee|( j 3 ^u8h four-match stretch ''Cham roPPing to Southern Confer^sdav"0'1 ^aSt "Yennessee State on k\avv T* l^en losing three matches He„,„ orrestal Volleyball Classic \ LaJekend- edasT ^0Untaineers, who have 0nfer °n(1 '''ace finish in the Southc ce regular season race, t " 1 ^ague champ EastTennes- see Slate in three straight games on Oct. 30.

"I thought we would struggle today offensively because ASU as the best defensive team we've faced all .year, and in the second half they showed what a good defensive team they are. We were just fortunate to have come up with some big plays on offense in the first half rthd then make some big plays on defense ji the second half." The Bulldogs scored on their first two possessions to take a 10-0 lead with 11:48 left in the second quarter. After a rough­ ing the kicker penalty kept The Citadel's opening possession alive, Robert Avriett nailed a 46-yard field goal to give the Bulldogs a 3-0 lead. After ASU failed on a fourth down try from The Citadel 32-yard line, the Bull­ dogs marched 67 yards in13 plays capped by Erick Little's 7-yard run to go up 10-0. $2.00 off with this ad Stylist - Jim Bynum • _> » • >:-r ' * . these three teams would give us a hard time in repeating as SC champs, and we just weren't sure if we could do it. Howe/er, our ladies proved that we had what it takes by preparing all summer long and Keeping healthy and putting themselves in a higher level of competition readiness dqring the season." Appalachian State was led by senior Leigh Wallace finishing third with an Overall clocking of 18:53 on the 5-kilometer course. Seniors Dee Anna Davis a id Julie Anderson finished fifth and sixth with respective times of 19:01 and 19:04. The ASU top five was rounded out by s enior Janet Osada and sophomore Nicole Djsher placing ninth and tenth at 19:09 and 19:12, respectively. All were named aill-conference. Weaver wasparticul arly impressed with the efforts of the top five competitors. " Leigh passed people who had defeated Her earlier in the season," Weaver said. "Dee Anna had fallen back earlier in the season and did an outstanding job in the ttipet coming on very strong. Julie and Janet had not even been in the top five for their last two years on the team and fin­ ished out their seasons to be named allconference. All of these seniors will gradu­ ate and have been members for four years - max of a squad that was undefeated in confer­ ence action. Nicole has shown improve­ ment throughout the season, greatly im­ proving her time and ranking. I'm proud of everyone, in some way all of our run­ ners did very well in this race." Other top finishers for the Lady Apps included sophomore Melanie Babb fin­ ishing 13th at 19:33 and senior Tania Free who clocked19:46, good enough for 15 th place. Freshmen Dawn Wehrenberg and Leah Walker placed 17th and 27th for ASU with respective clockings of 19:55 and 20:59. Junior Cate Pichon of Furman captured the individual title for the second straight year clocking 17:54 while ASU's John Weaver was named women's coach-ofthe-year. The Lady Mountaineers will travel to Greenville, SC, on Nov. 16 to compete in the NCAA District HI Regionals. "The competition there is so tough be­ cause all of the major universities from Maryland to Florida to Louisiana to Ken­ tucky will be competing," Weaver ex­ plained. "Five of the top twenty teams in the nation are represented in this region, so there is basically no way for us to win this meet. We hope to be in the top 15. Our previous best was 11th and that was back in 1983 when there were only 17 schools represented," Weaver said. v.- 7-v"- '"L - L tM - • IrnmzmK -h .'-TT mMm ; V'-V 7. i - 'i \ (704) 264-0862 a itH • FULL COLOR COPYING 264-7200 uu;- • ••••: •• v-; M m1 mm j« i V > • / ' ' * •.a.F'.

For years foreign language has been part of the high school curriculum, with most college preparatory programs requiring at least two years of a second language. Most high schools offer between two and four years of French and Spanish, with many also offering Latin and German. Some larger schools offer Japanese or Russian. With the BEP, children in the younger grades would also have the chance to learn another language, usually French or Spanish. The certifi­ cation for foreign language teachers was changed from a secondary certification, allowing them to teach grades nine through 12, to a special subjects certification, allowing them to teach kindergarten through 12th grade. Elementary and middle grades education majors, who are required to have a concentration, or second major, are given the option of concentrating in a foreign language. The number of teachers qualified to teach foreign language in the elementary grades is thus in­ creased. lanThe increase in opportunities to leant a second lan guage has many advantages for students. Those opposing Yes, there are some areas in the education system that could stand improvement North Carolina ranks 50th in the nation in SAT scores. Schools are overcrowded, teachers are overworked and underpaid and there have been instances across the nation in which students graduated from high school either not knowing how to read or barely knowing how. These instances are not necessarily the fault of individual teachers but of the system itself. The teaching of basic skills needs to be improved. Opposers of the BEP argue that we should not try to teach another language to students who can barely read English. Learning a second language does require a firm grip on, not necessarily English skills, but language skills in gen­ eral, and students who have trouble with English will probably have trouble with a foreign language. However, studying a foreign language may actually help students in their skills in English. Latin, for example, is the basis for all Romance lan­ guages—French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, etc. En­ glish, which has both Romance and Germanic roots, has many origins in Latin. Students who take Latin may show improvement in their English skills as well as having an easier time learning another language such as French or Spanish. Although Latin is considered a"dead language," knowledge of it is a very good skill to have as a basis for learning other languages. Spanish is on its way to becoming the second official language of the United States. Just south of the United States are Mexico, Central America and South America, all of which are dominantly Spanish-speaking areas. Im­ migration from these countries into the United States is ecosteady as Hispanics move to escape the worsened eco­ Hispanics nomic conditions of their native lands. Therefore, learn­ ing Spanish can not only help a student find a job but may also help him or her in everyday interactions with people. French has had a great influence on the English lan­ guage due to history. In 1066, William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy (a section of northern France) inv aded England, defeated Anglo-Saxon King Harold II at the Battle of Hastings and became King WilliamI of England, beginning a new dynasty in English royalty which contin­ ues to this day. When William became king and set up his court, the French language began its influence over the original Anglo-Saxon version of the English language. All high court officials under William were required to speak French, as was basically anyone who wanted to be anybody in England during the days of the Norman kings. Today, about 60 percent of English words have some French origins. Many of them, such as "restaurant," "hors-d'oeuvres" and "rendez-vous" are taken directly from French. Knowledge of French can help a student pick up English skills more quickly. A large percentage of foreign companies and corpora­ tions in the United States are Japanese- or German-based. Knowledge of either of these languages is helpful if one wants to get a position in these companies. German and Japanese are a little harder to learn than French or Spanish. However, English, one of the hardest languages of all to learn, is quickly becoming a worldwide language. A large number of Europeans speak fluent English and started learning it very early in their schooling. The advantage to beginning foreign language educa­ tion in the early grades is that students can begin early mastering the skills necessary for learning a language. Therefore, when they reach high school, they have the background necessary to succeed in any required foreign language courses and will probably make better grades in English classes, too.

We should try to preserve Loft, App House Loss of house, loft would be tragic To the Editor: I would like to share some thoughts regarding your recent article on the state of the New York Loft and Washington App House. I feel strongly that their loss would be tragic for the university. As a former director of the loft, I believe the New York experience enriches a person in many ways. In addition to the obvious educational opportunities found in the arts, there are the sights, sounds and smells of foreign culture. With Chinatown, Little Italy and Soho all within easy walking distance of the loft, a trip to New York is not unlike a trip to Europe. The experience broadens a person's knowledge of and appreciation for divergent lifestyles, changing their perspective and outlook on life. Ask anyone who has been there. Because Appalachian is situated in a rural setting, the NY Loft and App House are our gateways to contempo­ rary culture, and, as such, are fantastic recruitment tools for faculty and students alike. Few schools can boast of facilities for such minimal costs. The loft is located in Tribeca, which has recently been developed by up-scale resident neighbors such as ShearsonLehman and Robert DeNiro, and it is easily accessible by car, taxi or subway. You can safely park your car across the street. New York is approximately 11 hours by car. Most field trips drive up on Wednesday and drive back on Sunday, giving you three days and four nights to explore the city. The camara­ derie shared by students with similar interests always makes these trips a pleasant experience, and no matter what your interests, New York has much to offer. On a single trip last fall, we got in to watch David Letterman and Saturday Night Live (using standby tickets we obtained at NBC), saw the traditional sights, galleries, museums, a Broadway play, and we still had plenty of time for personal interests, such as shopping or seeing a Mets game. I encourage all students and faculty to please take advantage of a valuable resource by visiting the NY Loft or Washington App House, either by yourself, with some friends or by scheduling a field trip. We may be forced to use it or lose it. Ed Midgett Assistant Professor Department of Art Distributed by Tribune Media Services 5. Ajw\ USA- Qturlont fesplv thnt Student feels that slamming is needed To the Editor: This letter concerns the A.P.P.S. Stage Show Johnny Quest on Thursday evening, Oct. 31. It is necessary to point out that part of this band's success is strongly due to the level of energy and entertaining obnoxious attitude of the band's members. That is what students pay for and expect to see at a concert such as this one. However, ASU feels it is necessary to ban slam-dancing at A.P.P.S-sponsored stage shows. This ban only creates frustration for those students who attend shows like Johnny Quest and represses the energy that bands like Johnny Quest generate. For the performance on Halloween, Legends constructed barriers in front of the stage to keep slam-dancing under control. Unfortunately, these barriers were constructed with a couple of boards and a couple of nails. It may have been just as effective if the barriers were constructed with cardboard and a couple of bobby pins. The barrier broke within the first thirty seconds of the first song, at which time the advisor to the Concert Council and the manager of Legends, Randall Kelly, proceeded to nail it back together with two nails the size of thumb tacks! I happened to be standing right in front of the broken portion when this happened and almost got crushed between the two boards. I would like to know how this guy got his job because this was ridiculous! The concert staff, of about four people, tried to hold the crowd, of about 500 people, back and the barrier broke again. At this point I noticed nails sticking out in several places and boards falling. I told Randall Kelly that the barrier was dangerous in its condition and would cause more injuries than allowing the crowd to approach the stage. In response, he told me to get out if I couldn't handle it. What he did not realize was that I paid for my ticket and knew what to expect from the concert. It was his absurd scheme to control a crowd that was not even out of control that caused more problems. Whose idea was it to ban slam-dancing anyway? I've never heard of a lawsuit against the university for a slam-dancing accident. What did ASU do during the punk movement, ban black leather? Get with the times, ASU; students who pay to attend a show like Johnny Quest know what to expect. If someone is that concerned about getting hurt then they need to stay at home and play records. ASU needs to get a clue and stop interfering. (Especially considering that students pretty much pay to exist while they're in college.) The students here are far from destructive and if the university is concerned about potential destructiveness, cross that bridge when you get to it, but give us a chance! If ASU, or Randall Kelly, continues to repress energy in entertainment, what ASU will have on its hands can only be termed, a youth revolution! Lisa Galulio ASU Box 21389 Bills attempt to protect our forests To the Editor: Recently I likened U.S. Forest Service Leadership's obsession with clearcutting to an infection or disease called "clearcutitis" and how the country israllying to halt its spread. Congress, too, is searching for medications strong enough to cure the U.S.F.S. Leadership. Here's an explana­ tion of remedies that "Congressional Doc­ tors" are debating in committees; H.R. 2501—sponsor, Rep. Jim Jontz—prohib­ its below-cost sales; H.R. 842—same sponsor—would designate a National Ancient Forest Reserve System to protect significant ancient stands in Washington, Oregon and California and prohibit log­ ging or road-buiiding in these areas and create a network of associated forests to help wildlife-dependent on old growth to survive; H.R. 1969—sponsor, Rep. Jim Bryant—would ban clearcutting on all federal lands and require maintenance of native biodiversity. More information may be obtained by writing to sponsors. Co-sponsors are needed. If you know a representative or senator, please ask him or her to co-sponsor. Committee chairs— Congressmen Harold Volkman, Ede la Garza and George Miller, House of Rep­ resentatives, Washington, D.C., 20515 need your input.The Senate needs similar bills and committee chairs, Senators Dole Bumpers, Patrick Leahy and Wyche Fowler, Senate Office Building, Wash­ ington, D.C., 20510 are waiting to hear from you. Must certain "timber locusts"consume the last grand trees standing? They mis­ manage their holdings and scream that there's a timber shortage. This and other misinformation helps them buy our for­ ests at below-cost with the cooperation of the U.S.F.S. leadership. They sel1 our raw timber to our competitors, the Japanese, Germans and others at the expense of our own workers. Must mismanagement, liq­ uidation and short-term profiteering con­ tinue? Grandfather, grandmother and friends! The U.S.F.S. Leadership deserves our at­ tention if it's to recover from "clearcutitis" and complications.

Autumn seems to be on the way out, and with it are most of the sightseers who have been crowding Boone's streets. The last of the leaves are now being taken away, leaving many ASU students to wait restlessly for snow. lachian State students can be attributed to their apathy or their support of the fees. "If students agree with the fees, maybe that's why they didn't show up," Murphy said. Murphy suggested that students who want to learn more about fees can read The Appalachian, attend RSA meetings, talk with senators, go to the senate offices on the second floor of Workman Hall or call student government. "It really hurts when you want to do what you are supposed to do as an organi­ zation to get information to the students, and then they don't respond," Murphy said. Grad school rates up While the road to graduationmay seem never-ending to many undergraduates, the decision to continue formal education is gaining popularity, according to Dr. Joyce Lawrence, Dean of the Appalachian State University's Cratis D. Williams Graduate School. "Our numbers are up slightly," said Lawrence. Although the enrollment increase can­ not be attributed to one particular event, the current economic crunch is definitely a key factor, according to Lawrence. With the job market as dismal and competitive as it is now, more students are inclined to remain in school to pursue a masters de­ gree, Lawrence said. The dean provided another possibility for the larger applicant pool, "I think we're becoming better known as a gradu­ ate school. We're doing a better job of recruiting." Cratis D. Williams was a graduate dean throughout much of the 1960s and 1970s. Shortly before his death several years ago, the university decided to honor the first graduate dean by naming the school after him. Thus, the Cratis D. Williams Gradu­ ate School became official. The program has grown every year since, and now educates approximately 1,000 students. While these men and women come from diverse backgrounds, according to Lawrence, they are fairly typical of gradu­ ate students everywhere. Students range in age from those in their mid-20s to those in their mid-60s and come from all over to attend Appalachian's graduate program. Many students, however, do not have to travel far. According to a study con­ ducted eight years ago, 60 percent of Appalachian's graduate students received their bachelors degree here. While thisnumber hasdropped slightly since the study, it is impressive, espe­ cially in comparison to other University of North Carolina schools. For example, this year the University of North Carolina at Wilmington accepted a record-break­ ing 384 graduate students. According to Eric Bolan, Dean of UNCW Graduate School, 119 of these 384, or roughly 31 percent, got their undergraduate degree in Wilmington. One reason why Appalachian may be so attractive to students is the wide array of available concentrations, Lawrence said. "We have about 70 programs in about 26 departments," said Lawrence. Among the largest departments include Human Development and Psychological Counseling, Business Administration, Leadership and Higher Education, Psy­ chology and Curriculum and Instruction. Recently, several programs have been added to the school. Students can now work toward a master's degree in Geriantology, Applied Physics and Home Economics. While many students consider gradu­ ate school, some choose to wait until they have worked in their chosen field first. It is true that real-life experience can be advantageous, although there are draw­ backs in putting one's advanced studies on hold. Some men and women, for ex­ ample, begin climbing the corporate lad­ der and lack the time. Others may become nervous about returning to the classroom, according to Lawrence. "People become very fearful in their abilities—in their ability to take standard­ ized tests or in their ability to finance their studies," said Lawrence. "An advantage to waiting and working, though, is that you can learn more skills in the areas you're most interested in," she added. Once a student decides graduate school is the best post-undergraduate route for him, there are several steps which can aid in the selection of the school. First, it is important that the college is accredited. Reviewing faculty members credentials is also helpful. According to Lawrence, professors with doctorates from different universities can be beneficial. Another important factor to consider is the school's available financial aid. Ap­ palachian, for example, spends well over one million dollars for graduate assistantships, which is pretty good for a school its size, Lawrence said. mai°rityof riders f i C i s n e r o sspeechfocuseso nchangesinfutureforUnitedStates rValtWe" 85 k^ty and staff allowed to ride the io nae me .11 <L.

"I don't feel that a student can say that they didn't know about it (the fee forum). We started publicizing student fees after Sept. 24 when I first gave the senators the information," Murphy said. ASU increased as a reversing its policy on de- economic growth and the other which is filled with diverse people. The first America would be based upon service, technology and a strong work force. As aresultoftheadvances,Cisneros contends society will become more com­ plex. The second America focuses on the diversity of the United States' population, which has become and will continue to progress toward an increasingly older and more culturally mixed society. Due to medical advances, the United States' population is aging. Cisneros said the fastest growing age group is those 65 and over. Moreover, in the next century, 30 percent of the population will be re­ tired. Also, in the past 10 years, the Asian communitv has erown bv 108 percent and the Hispanic population has increased by 52 percent, creating a more diverse cul­ ture. Cisneros predicts immigration will continue to increase. Students should be encouraged to learn other languages and study other cultures due to changes in population and econom­ ics, Cisneros said. "Language is more than just a neutral instrument; language is full of value," said Cisneros. "It is like a window into another culture." A growing concern in the changing demographics of the United Stales popu­ lation is that in the future only 30 percent of the population will be white males. The remaining 70 percent will be women and minorities, Cisneros said. Since most experts in technological fiplHc u/Viifp molpp »V**c problems in America's future growth, Cisneros said. The U.S.needs more scien­ tists and Ph.D.s, which are fields tradi­ tionally dominated by white males, Cisneros said. However, since the white male popula­ tion is declining, it will be necessary to look into training other non-traditional workers for the fields, such as women and minorities. Making the two worlds work together will require investing in anew popul ation, Cisneros said. He noted that one of five children, one of three Latin American children and one in two black children live in poverty. "As I get around the country and I see places, what worries me is that I see al­ most two different Americas.I see a series nations. The biggest challenge is how to make these two worlds work together," Cisneros said. While the United States faces these problems, other nations such as Japan, Germany and united Asian nations may be able to becomethe leading world power by 2050, Cisneros speculated. However, if U.S. trends such as milita­ rism, not reinvesting into the country, no concern for children, debt, apathy and illiteracy continue, they will allcontribute to the decline of the United States to the extent that it will no longer be a world power by 2050, Cisneros said. "The greatest powers on earth have always fallen," Cisneros said, citing ex­ amples of the British empire, the Spanish empire, the Austrian/Hungary empireand m �v> § Dinner benefits WAMY and student group: Appalachian State University's Hospitality Management Student Association will host the High Country Holiday dinner Friday, Nov. 22 at 6 pm.

SGA bill allows increased campus acce$« By KENNY KIDD Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian State University students who are now travelling one to five miles out of their way to get to campus will have more convenient access following SGA's passage on Tuesday of Howell's bill. The bill, which was proposed by Offcampus Affairs Chairman, Kevin Howell involves the opening of the road between BodenJiiemer Drive and Poplar Grove Road near Mountaineer Apartments. Besides adding convenience, the new road will make it safer to drive during the winter, becauseBodenhiemer is less curvy than Poplar Grove, Howell said. The proposed 250 yard stretch of road to be opened was originally closed due to traffic congestion. Many senators now believe this will no longer be a problem. Possible traffic or pedestrian problems will be studied in the first few months after the opening of the road. If a problem arises, the road will be closed again. Howell said the opening will effect ap­ proximately 100 of the 420 residents of the Mountaineer Apartments and would be provided at no cost to residents. Jim Rice, director of civil/landscape engineering from the Physical Plant, dis­ cussed recycling and its advances on the campus during die meeting. Rice described the recycling program as being in the discovery stage. The first Watauga County recycling program be­ gan in 1984, and die first recycling task force developed in 1989. Rice said he was pleased that the Pepsi and Coca-Cola Companies gave recy­ cling bins to the campus this year. ASU now has a 9.4 percent recycling rate. The state of North Carolina recendy passed a law which asks that all communiues have at least a 25 percent recycling rate by the year 1993. Rice believes that at the rate the uni­ versity is moving, the school should be at a rate of 35 or 40 percent by that dead­ line. Rice said everything is now in place for improvements in recycling. The 1990s look much better than the 70s and the 80s did, for our recycling program is continu­ ally growing and improving. In three to five years, the technology will exist to allow recycling ofplastics and styrofoam. Presendy, styrofoam counts as one percent of theschool's recycling prob­ lem, with 9,400 pounds of it used per year. Vending machinesexpel approximately 500,000 aluminum canson campus, while another million cans come from other sources. Onecan, when recycled, can pro­ duce enough power to run a television for three and one-half hours, Rice said. The problem with aluminum cans is the cans have to be placed into the recycling bins before they can produce this power. Rice said. Thecans, he said, should come right from the bin, and not have to be dug out from a trash can. Bins are not located inside the resi­ dence halls since many people do not "This is a bad reflection of dents," said Doug Duncan, Stud! fairs Chair.

By WILLIAM PURCELL Appalachian Diversions Editor Percussion ensemble's haunted house concert Cloud of mystery surrounds School of Music as drummers secretly prepare to scare By WILLIAM PURCELL Appalachian Diversions Editor Looking for something different on Halloween? Look into the ASU Percussion Ensemble's Hal­ loween concert. It promises to be anight of strange musical happenings in the setting of a haunted house. There will be much more than just things that go bump in the night. The whole evening promises to be an intriguing mystery. The membersof the percussion ensemble and their professor Dr. Scott Meister are reluctant to talk about what will happen. They want he audience to experience it all on the concert night. Concertgoers will meet in the Broyhill Music Center lobby. They will be taken to the concert location somewhere in the music building. Mys­ tery is the annual event's trademark. "No one attending knows where theconcert will be given," said Meister. "And we don't advertise the program in advance. The concert begins the minute the audience walks in." The audience should expect the unexpected, Meister said. Past performances have incorporated trees and leaves to recreate an outdoor experience, smoke machines, electronic equipment thatchanges a room's acoustics and visuals such as slides and film. "It's strange, is all I can say," said Meister. Ensemble members dressed in Halloween cos­ tumes will play compositions written especially for the concert. Many of the compositions were written by Meister. "The music is very 20th century. We will By WILLIAM PURCELL Appalachian Diversions Editor ^days are gone.

ANYTHING GOES WHEN YOU'RE ON THE TOP: William Gora, Erick Unsworth, Arthur Unsworth (seated) and Priscilla Peebles will perform "An Evening of Cole Porter" Nov. 5. The 8 p.m. concert in Broyhill Music Center's Rosen Concert Hall is part of the School of Music's Faculty Recital Series. The concert will feature vocal and instrumental compositions from 17 of Porter's musicals. The music of one of America's favorite compos­ ers will be performed Nov.5 when theASU School of Music presents "An Evening of Cole Porter." The concert will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of the famous Broadway composer. The concert is part of the Music Faculty Recital Series. The series is a once-a-month concert which features the best music faculty at ASU. Known for his musical "Kiss Me Kate," Porter was a prolific composer. This 1946 musical fea­ tured such numbers as "I Hate Men," 'Tom, Dick or Harry" and 'Too Darn Hot." A movie based on the musical was released by MGM in 1953. Porter studied law and music at Yaleand Harvard following the failure of his first Broadway show "See America FirsL" In 1917 he moved to Paris and joined the French Foreign Legion. Following his discharge. Porter studied music with French composer d'lndy and began writing songs to entertain his social circle. Porter has created some of the most theatrically elegant, sophisticated and musically complex songs of American 20th century popular music. The concert is a departure from earlier chamber and classical music presentations."We will be in a concert setting, with tuxedos and evening gowns," said Dr. Arthur Unsworth, dean of the school of music. "We decided to do this concert because Porter wrote such fine music. It's well constructed, and the poetry is great," said Unsworth. The concert will show a different side of the performing faculty. "Our faculty will be perform­ ing in a more relaxed style that most people don't get a chance to see," said Unsworth. Selections from 19 of Porter's musicals will be performed including"It's De-lovely,""InThe Still of the Night," "I Get A Kick Out Of You," "What Is This Thing Called Love," "Night and Day" and "Begin the Beguine." Soloists are Joseph Amaya, Julia Pedigo and Priscilla Peebles. They will be joined by graduate students Wendy Jones and Roberta Ferguson. The singers will be accompanied by William Gora, saxophone; Elmer White, trumpet; Todd Wright, saxophone; Scott Meister, vibraphones; William Wilson, viola; Richard Dilling, percusSee CELEBRATE page 6 Famous People Players perform in Farthing Touring company features life-size puppetry in the unique form of black light theater By LORRIE G ANTT Appalachian Staff Writer The Famous People Players from the Black Light Theater Company have dazzled audiences from North America to the Far East with their unique synthesis of black light theater, life-size puppet artistry and unbounded skill. From Broad­ way to China's Great Wall, they've woven an enchanting tapestry of brilliant theater and sunlit imagination. The Performing Arts Major Series brings the Famous People Players to campus on Monday, Nov. 4. Founded in 1974 by artistic director Diane Lynn Dupuy, this group of talented artists has inspired audiences throughout Canada, the United States, Bermuda and The People's Republic of China. They performed a seven month engagement at Sea World in Orlando, Fla., where thousands of people viewed the wonders and magic of black light theater. The Famous People Players have been acclaimed internationally for their contribution to theater and the entertainment industry. The art of the Famous People Players incorpo­ rates the use of life-size puppets and fluorescent props manipulated under the illumination of ultra­ violet light. "Iridescent spectacle," said a writer for the New York Times, "the magic of the theatre, the magic of diversion, the magic that impels one to say 'that's entertainment.'" One of the most noteworthy aspects of the Fa­ mous People Players is their dedication to the integration of the developmentally handicapped. All but three of the performers in the company are handicapped. From the beginning, their intention has been to develop the capabilities of handicapped citizens. They also strive to prove that handicapped persons can lead satisfactory and productive lives given the right challenge and opportunity. Determination to overcome obstacles pushes one tosucceed.The company of the Famous People Players knows this concept very well. Their abil­ ity, creativity and powerful motivationhaveopened many doors for them. Highlights of the company's history include the airing of the TV movie "Special People" in 1984, which was based on the founding years of the Famous People Players, six weeks at the Lyceum Theatre on Broadway in New York City, three return engagements in Las Vegas with Liberace, a five-week engagement at Radio City Music Hall, representing Canada at the Bermuda Festival and a special invitation to tour The People's Republic of China. They have been the topic of several television documentaries and specials including their Emmywinning documentary, "A Little Like Magic" nar­ rated by Ann-Margaret. The company made ap­ pearances on "Donahue," "Good Morning, America" and "West 57th Street." Bring your imagination and the anticipation that something wonderful will happen. You may be right. The performance begins at 8 p.m. in Farthing Auditorium. You won't want to miss this one. �The Appalachian. Thursday.

Modest Terry leads Appalachian hooters with 13 goals I, WILL ROTHSCHILD distant Sports Editor When junior striker David Terry came j Appalachian State to play soccer for Vi Rex in 1989, expectations were high. After all, when Terry completed his pitying days at sports-rich Apollo High School in Owensboro, Ky, he owned ev­ er toccer scoring record. His 60 career rt;and 45 career assists in just three yorsofvarsity action led to first team allate recognition in his junior and senior Bons. In addition, Terry was selected to Mi-Midwest Region national team as 'senior and was nominated for the Parade Ill-American team. Such prep accolades are often hard to he up to, especially in the competitive world of Division I soccer. Terry, how­ ever, has not disappointed. Last year, in just his sophomore season and his first year as a MMi full-time starter, Terry led the Moun­ taineers in scoring with 15 goals. He was an AllSouthern Confer­ ence pick and was Most Valuable Player of the conference tournament. Already this season, Terry has rack­ ed up 13 scores for ASU and is well on his way to another all-star year. In five of ASU's six victo­ ries, Terry has ac­ counted for what turned out to be the game winning goal. Ho w ever, if you ask Terry % I I about his " remarkable success, he gives a somewhat unexpected response.

"I felt extra pressure then because I knew that was my job, and we weren't getting it done. When I moved from midfield to striker is when we started turning things around offensively. Plus, we just now started playing a regular line-up, and everbody knows they have a part, and they know they have a job to do. The defense now has faith in the offense that we'll gel them a couple of goals and take some of the pressure off of them." As a result, theTerry-led Mountaineers have jelled as a team as of late, winning four in a row and five of their last seven. Last Sunday in Kidd Brewer Stadium, Terry scored both goals as Appalachian See TERRY page 8 second place in league play Wachian Staff Writer nCe' explained. "He was our top player, and everyone knew about him. Teams would put their best marksmen on him, and I was able to surprise some people. "This year, I'm getting the toughest guy.

After Terry's 13 goals, the next high­ est individual total on the team is three. That lack of scoring balance is just one of the reasons that the Mountaineers struggled early in the season.

"We were sluggish early in the match, hesitated on defense and our setting was off in the fifth game. We finally started playing good, solid volleyball-reacting and responding to the offense and de­ fense, and that got us the victory," ASU Head Coach Traci McGee said. Junior Kim Nelson led the Lady Apps with 17 kills and a .238 hitting percentage to be named Player of the Game. Nelson was aided by junior Sandra Love who tallied nine kills, three service aces and a .238 hitting percentage. Sophomore Michelle Wright added 16 kills while se­ nior Sabrina Hill chipped in with 13. The Appalachian squad totaled 90digs throughout the match, an unusually high amount. UT-Chattanooga currently leads the conference with a 23 dig per game average. Junior Joanne Myers contrib­ uted 23 digs for the Lady Mountaineers and had five blocks. Sophomore Deanna Keen also had five blocks. v McGee was particularly impressed with the efforts of Nelson and Myers. "We moved Kim to the middle because we were having some problems, and she is not as physically qualified to play that position. But when Deanna Keen came back in during the fifth set we moved Kim back outside, and she ran a very quick attack and played exceptionally to build us back up to win the final set," McGee said. "Joanne put forth very consistent play in the end. She had seven perfect sets and got seven kills off of them, and it really made a difference for us," McGee added. After shifting victories over the first four sets, the Lady Apps fell behind UTC in the fifth set, 8-1, before an ASU timeout rearranged the strategies of the App State squad. "I tried to re-route their minds. We were hesitating too much and just not really trying," McGee said. The Lady Apps came back out on the floor to eventually tie up the set 10-10 behind dynamic plays by Nelson, Myers, Wright and Keen. ASU went on to win the game and the match, improving theirrecordto 15-12 and 7-2 in theconfer j ence. ASU traveled to Johnson City, Tenn.j Wed. night to face the first place Lady B uccaneers of EastTennessee State. (Lool^ for details in Tuesday's edition of Tht{ Appalachian.)

Quarterback John McKee led the way for ASU, throwing a 60-yard touchdown pass to Quinten Watkins.Linebacker Trey McBride and cornerback Ray Tedder, who returned an interception 30 yards for a touchdown, led the defense in the win over the Seahawks. The club football team will be back in action this Saturday night in Kidd Brewer Stadium. ASU will take on North Caro­ lina State at 7 pm. Appalachian will be looking to avenge an early-season loss to N.C. State. That setback was ASU's first club defeat in four years.

The n feels that numerous students are opposed to the fee hike, however, those students now have no room to comment. They were given jieirchance on Monday to address two ASU administrators and three SUA ipresentatives about the proposal. They failed to do so. Appalachian students apparently do not care about their future finances, as just two students attended Monday's forum—just TWO students. Appalachian's current enrollment resides at 11,367. Of those students, 7,439 Btilher freshmen, sophomores or juniors. A majority of these students will Bam to Appalachian next year and could be affected by a fee increase. However, of 7,439 students who should be concerned with future student fees,only two attended Monday's question-and-answer session. Appalachian students, you lost your right to complain. You told Appala:h,administration that you are apathetic when it comes to your financial fa. You told administration: "Bill students what you will; charge as much isyou would like next year; we do not care how much we will be asked to py." By not attending Monday's forum, you signed a blank check and placed it Jilhe hands of Appalachian administration.

When I was 15, my parents could make me do anything or keep me from doing anything by merely threatening to keep me from getting my license. I inherited my love of driving from my dad, who taught me how. Dad managed to get through the year I had my learner's permit without developing a heart condition. Now he is going through another year of "Okay, turn sharp...now cut back...cut BACK,""Put your signal on— you're going to turn here," and "If you want to stop you have to HIT THE BRAKE!!!!" with my younger sister, who also shares my love of driving. Dad's nerves should make it through this year, too, and my sister will have her day of glory just as I had mine in December 1987, three days after my 16th birthday, when I finally received that precious piece of plastic saying I could have complete control of the wheel of a car. My love of driving has not worn off even after having had the precious license for four years, probably because I don't have a car and never get a chance to drive except when I'm home, which considering that home is 250 miles away, isn't very often. When I need to go somewhere I either take the AppalCart or bum a ride. Bumming rides is something I've gotten very good at, especially with my boyfriend being in Charlotte and my family being in Wilson. If ASU offered a degree in mooching transporta­ tion off people, I would have graduated a long time ago. My credentials as a passenger far exceed any I have as a driver. But certain things about the whole automotive transportation process still have me asking questions. Interstates are a wonderful invention. I hope the genius who invented them receivedsome high honor. Because of interstates, onecan drive to and from cities hours apart and not have to worry about being slowed down by stoplights. Also, interstates have limited access—exits and entries are clearly marked, so one usually does not have to worry about being slammed by some poor unfortunate soul who is forced to enter the highway immediately after ascend­ ing a tiny out-of-the-way ramp. Of course there are still those people in cars with eight-cylinder engines who manage to fly down the entrance ramp going at least 65 miles per hour, who have no need for the acceleration lane and who manage to scare the living daylights out of the poor person whose path they cut in front of. However, at least the acceleration lane is there, both to let drivers already on the interstate know that someone is trying to get on it and to let the entering driver (assuming he or shedoes not have a V-8 engine)have time to pick up enough speed to enter the interstate safely. The 65-mile-per-hour speed limit, increased from 55 in 1987, was one of the better traffic laws that has been passed. Now those who previously went 65 are going 75. It is easier to calculate how soon you are going to reach your destination.Sixty miles per hour equals one mile per minute, so if your destination is 100 miles away, you can plan to get there within 100 minutes and not have to worry about getting a speeding ticket. I am most familiar with three interstates—1-40 and I85, which I take going home, and 1-77, which I take going to Charlotte. 1-77 has the prettiest view, especially the rolling hills in Iredell County. I can't decide between1-77 and 1-40 as to which is the cleanest. 1-85 on the stretch on which it merges with 1-40 never ceases to amaze me. It hasn't caught up with therest of the world in increasing the speed limit to 65 miles per hour, and the traffic, no matter what the time of day, always manages to be terrible. Speaking of traffic, I am in the process of conducting a highly informal, unscientific, personal study to determine which city has the worst traffic—Charlotte or Boone. Even with a population difference of 390,000 people (360,000 during university/leaf season), the rush hours of the two cities present a very similar picture. When leaving Boone for fall break at 3:30 on a Wednesday afternoon, my roommate,another friend and I found ourselves stopped at a green light on King Street. Why were we stopped at a green light? Because several blocks ahead of us, the light was red, and the line of traffic was backed up past the green light in from of us. It took us 30 minutes to go two miles and get out of Boone. Unfortunately there isn't much anyone can do about Boone traffic—mountains prohibit widening roads or building new ones, and it would be far more terrible to destroy a beauty of nature for an asphalt creation of man, than it is to put up with traffic backed up so far that stoplights are useless. There are a couple of things I do suggest. One is a protected turn signal on the stoplight at the intersection of King Street and Hardin Street. Another is installing a "rush-hour mode" into the Boone stoplights, such as in the stoplights of bigger cities such as Charlotte or Raleigh. Sometimes we run into a problem, not with the traffic in general, but with individuals causing traffic. We all have prototypes in our headsof the other-driver types who make our driving experience less pleasant. The irritating prototypes are probably different for each of us. A few driver-types who get on my nerves: one is the driver who insists on going 15 miles per hour below the speed limit, especially when thespeed limit is 35 and the road is a twolane road divided by double yellow lines. Another is the driver who does not use turn signals. Not only is this illegal, but it makes people wonder why you are putting on your brakes—of course, they find out after you disappear around a corner, if they don'trear-end you first. Of course people who turn their signals on at least five blocks in advance are also irritating.The driver behind one of these people wonders, when is he/she going to turn? Did the person put his/her turn signal on by mistake? Of course I don't claim to be the perfect driver. I don't stop behind the white lines at intersections; I still haven't figured out who has the right-of-way at a four-way stop: and the first time my boyfriend rode in a car with me driving (in Wilson, where all necessary intersections have protected turns and traffic rarely backs up), he said, "Tracy, if you're ever going to drive in Charlotte, you: reflexes are going to have to speed up and you're going to have to drive at least 10 miles pier hour faster." Actually, I am probably one of those drivers I get so irritated with. But I will probably never stop loving to drive. Editor's note: Tarleton is a junior from Wilson. She is majoring in French education. We must educate ourselves about alcohol By Dr. EDWARD H. HAMMOND Special to the Appalachian Alcohol abuse on college campuses has been discussed a great deal recently. Television networks, newspapers, magazines, social researchers, college ad­ ministrators, alumni associations—they have all engaged the issue. But until these various parties involve students in the discussion, until they in­ clude students in the solution process to the problem—they are doing little more than exchanging hot air. In my 25 years as an educator, I have found no lesson more basic than this one: Students mustultimately teachthemselves. We can give them the tools of learning, but they must teach and learn. During National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week, an annual event held on more than 3,000 campuses nationwide, we challenge students and faculty to ap­ ply the foundation of all education (that is, self-education) to the subject of drink­ ing—moving beyond rhetoric to action. During this year's NCAAW, Oct. 1319, students acted on the subject of drink­ ing—teaching themselves that underage drinking is never acceptable, and for half of the post-secondary students over 21, teaching themselves the difference be­ tween alcohol abuseand responsibledrink­ ing. This goal will be pursued through a number of educational activities, patterned after the events and themes conducted by their peerssince theinception of NCAAW in 1984. Last year, for instance, students at the University of Richmond in Virginia learned how to P.A.R.T.Y. (Promote Al­ cohol Responsibility Through You)—at­ tending seminars, watching movies and participating in activities that demon­ strated the effects of alcohol abuse, in­ cluding drunk driving. bricks on which the different partic­ ipants inscribed their experiences with abuse. At Illinois State University in Bloomington, 111., students learned how to "Let the Good Times Roll Without Abuse," promoting this contemporary theme through campus newspapers, but­ tons, flyers, the ISU stadium message board and the marquees of local busi­ nesses. And at the University of Fairbanks in Alaska, students participated in 40 differ­ ent programs, including a "Family Feud" competition with questions on alcohol and drinking. These efforts were successful because innovative, creative strategies were coupled with the vigor and persistence of students helping students. And despite the diversity of both the events and the stu­ dents—three important messages were common to all of these efforts. At Texas Christian University in Fort First, these students taught themselves Worth, Texas, students, faculty and staff about respectfor the law—aboutnotdrink­ built "The Wall"—comprised of single ing before they are 21, and about never driving drunk, or riding with a drunk driver. Second was the message of personal responsibility. Students taught themselves that ultimately, only they are responsible for their decisions, good or bad—and that their successin school and life dependson the right decisions. Finally, students who participated in NCAAW taught themselves to respect their peers—to celebrate true friendship. They learned that friends promote responsible behavior: that friends do not let friends drink if they are underage, and that friends do not let friends drive drunk. As an educator, I am proud tosee today's college students take an active role in their education—particularly their education about alcohol. During this year's NCAAW, we expect to hear more success stories—stories that may Finally force those who endlessly debate the issue, to cease their conversa­ tion and join students in real actions to address a real problem. Health costs could increase I'M AH EMMWMEKTAUST, Excess costs would not benefit students To the Editor: % X. ///,. \\ x bV Tribui ln« Media Services Ten dollars for a bottle of aspirin, $150 for an X ray, don't these prices seem exorbitant? Appalachian students could begin paying these prices if the health center begins charging for medicine and lab services instead of raising the health fee. Charging for services will leave the Health Center embroiled in administration problems and the students penniless. Paperwork, employment of non­ medical workers and the intervening of health insurance companies are problems associated with charging for medical services. Health Services must keep a record of every medicine and lab service it sells. Health insurance companies require a myriad of authori­ zations, receipts and utilization reviews before claims can be paid. The loads of paperwork required to run the Health Center once it begins charging for services will lead to high administration costs. A bulk of the administration costs will be attributed to the employment of non-medical workers who will handle the mountains of paperwork. Appala­ chian students will have to pay for these non-medical employees. Thus, we will be paying for people who serve no direct medical purpose. But most of the money will not go to the non-medical workers but to the profit oriented health insurance companies. Some companies charge as much as 34 percent more in premiums than they pay in benefits. Higher costs for services will have to be charged in order to provide the health companies with the money they require for coverage. Why should students have to pay for the profiteering of the health companies? Like health insurance companies who raise premium prices to increase profits, our health service center will raise the price of medicine and lab services to expand its protit. The additional money won't have to be used for medical purposes but for any program the administration wants to fund. The Student Activity Center looks a lot more fundable when health service begins raking in the money. Currently, health services makes only enough money to coveT the cost of running the center. There is no reason to begin charging for medicine and services other than to make money for the school. Health Services and the student's pocketbooks should not be used to raise money for the university. Understandably, North Carolina's budget shortfall has the administration looking for ways to raise money. But the problems caused and the harm done to the students are far greater than the benefits associated with charging for medicine and lab services. The health fee increase is a much more sensible option. Of course the fee increase will not allow the university to make money. But is it ethically right to take advantage of a student's misfortune in order to improve the university's bottom line?

According to Lineback, the basics of geography should be taught in the early grades, so when students reach high school, they will have a geographic background they can associ­ ate with history. Lineback stated many students gradu­ ate from college without ever taking a course in geography."We are never going to see students in this country become internationally aware without some cur­ riculum that includes basic geography." Attempts are being made to improve the current situation. In 1987, North Caro­ lina joined the National Geographic Alli­ ance Program, constructed to enhance geography instruction in the United States. The Alliance is made up of school teach­ ers, curriculum coordinators, State De­ partment of Education employees and anyone who is interested in improving geography instruction.

Students going on the trip will establish residence on the campus of Franklin College, a fully accredited Ameri­ can college in Lugano, in the Italian sec­ tion of Switzerland. According to Long, the program is an interdisciplinary approach to art: why we make art, and how we live with it. It incorporates the study of art with the individual's response to it. On the trip three courses will be of­ fered: Michelangelo—an in-depth study of the Florentine master with emphasis on choose either Michelangelo taught by works in Florence and Rome; personal Long or personal and cultural transforma­ and cultural transformation—an interdis­ tion taught by Atkins, plus the psychology ciplinary social science course which in­ of art class taught jointly by Long and corporates information from several dis­ Atkins. ciplines related to cultural awareness, By taking these classes, students will human community and impersonal receive six hours of credit or credit on an relations; and the psychology of art— audit basis.

Trends indicate fewer smokers By KENNY KIDD Appalachian Staff Writer A few decades ago, if one compared the number of smokers to the number of nonsmokers in any given area of the United States, he would find the two figures rather close together. Today, however, trends indicate that more people are quitting smoking, while an even greater number of people are not even beginning the habit. Noticing the trends, many private com­ panies and states have introduced restric­ tions on smoking in such areas as public schools and on airplanes. Here at Appalachian State, conversely, no restrictions have as yet been made. The Faculty Senate resolution on smoking as stated in the student handbook says "In the interest of good health and good man­ ners, smokers are reminded that they should be thoughtful about not smoking in enclosed and/or poorly ventilated places in which others engaged in their ordinary activities are likely to be affected by the smoke of tobacco products." Appalachian Photo by CiMy Kran Students here on campus are split as to ! BECOMING EXTINCT? Due to recent trends in advertising and public opinion, more people are quilting smoking whether this resolution is really fair. Dan ewMpeople axe starting. At ASU, there is not a policy on smoking. i °rum speaker 0rmer Kblic. pV5 a and open to Cultural Affairs free lhe Ron Dubberly, director of food ser­ vices, said that all on-campus dining fa­ cilities have both smoking and nonsmok­ ing sections. Dubberly acknowledged it is difficult to keep smoke from floating over into nonsmoking sections. Food Services could not enforce a smok­ ing ban in any food facility as long as one had not been instituted by the Faculty Senate for the entire campus, Dubberly noted. On the national level, interest in smok­ ing has risen over the last few decades. As more information became avail­ able on the health hazards of smoking and dangers of second-hand smoke, the non­ smoking population began to push local and national legislators to pass restric­ tions on smoking in public places. States such as Florida and New Jersey have passed laws prohibiting smoking in all public areas including elevators, wait­ ing rooms, retail stores and on any form of public transportation, according to the 1989 Executive Summary Report from the Surgeon General.

"If they were to pass and enforce a strong policy against smoking,!' Dan stated, "smokers would be upset and would show a lot less respect to nonsmokers." He said he respects others' rights as long as they are not radical. However, many nonsmokers thought dial smoking restrictions should be imple­ mented in those places where a haze of smoke is almost always present. "The most smoke-filled places," said Shaun Slattery, ASU sophomore, "are the Sweet Shop, Legends and any hallway between classes." He continued by saying that in a facility like Legends, however, "one just had to expect it." Most nonsmokers believe places like these weren't ventilated enough, and at times some were discouraged from going to them. Ellen Davis, also a sophomore, said, "I'm going to die if I do smoke, and because of second hand smoke, I'm going to die if I don't." She said she thought that no matter what the policy said, the smoke would always be somewhere. office at (704) 262-2850 for more infor­ mation.

You can leam while getting your hands dirty and your adrenal in rushing by volun­ teering for expeditions that combine ad­ venture and research. Ahandful of organi­ zations offer such travel opportunities. One of them is Earthwatch, a non-profit organization that makes it easy for every­ body—not just scientists—to understand the environment better through scientific field research. Founded in 1971, Earthwatch brings together scientists and paying volunteers. "With funding drying up from the gov­ ernment, scientists were looking for alter­ native means. It was thought we could get scientists' funding through volunteers who could not only donate money, but also work," said Kara Bettigole, Earthwatch publicist. Earthwatch's affiliate, The Center For Field Research, receives more than 400 proposals each year from scholars. The center, with its academic advisory board, is responsible for review and selection of projects. Once a proposal is accepted, it is presented in Earthwatch's bimonthly magazine distributed to more than 73,000 members worldwide.

Cisncros believes the future of America will be determined by the diversity of its culture, stemming from new immigration which will re-energize and reshape the American dream. Currently chairman of his own com­ pany, Cisneros Asset Management Com­ pany, Cisncros remains active in civic activities. Expedition costs range anywhere from S800 to more than S2.000. Many students arrange for credit by fulfilling a require­ ment, such as writing a research paper. Dan Truesdale, an Emerson College graduate student who also works at Earthwatch'sMassachusetts headquarters, worked out a unique arrangement. "I got to thinking: Wouldn't it be great if I could combine Earthwatch with my master's degree...go toWyoming andshoot this expedition for my master's video project?" said Truesdale, who decided on an expedition called "Yellowstone Coy­ otes." Because expeditions are relatively ex­ pensive, scholarships and discounts are available through an application proce­ dure. "Earthwatch can offer college students up to 30 percent off the price of an expedition...which still has openings. Stu­ dents who are going into teaching are encouraged as well to go through this process where they are eligible to receive grants, scholarships and fellowships. We had over 500 applications from professors and high school students for scholarships last year, and we placed over half of them," Truesdale said. In 1991 Earthwatch will sponsor 135 projects in disciplines ranging from rain forest conservation, art, archaeology and the sciences.

Cooper-Driver suspected thatfems flourishinghighonMountWash­ ington expend greater energy than valley ferns in producing chemicals to ward off insects. Her findings may help farmers induce better natural defenses in crops, hence reducing pesticide use. "It's a good organization for the right kind of people. It's no good if you just bury yourself in your research. It does require a certain degree of sociability...like sitting around the campfire and talking about the day's discoveries," CooperDriver said. Lisa Van Atta, a University of Califor­ nia at Los Angeles graduate, studied dolphin's use of language during the sum­ mer. While learning about the creatures, she also established friendships that focus on a mutual concern for this intelligent mammal's survival. "It was a graduation present from my father. I went on my own and met a lot of great people," Van Atta said. "We were trying to find out if dolphins have a struc­ tural language to communicate...and fol­ low commands."

She was afraid r integrity and possibly even her life, me was one of the two first black to be admitted to the Women's >e, which is now the University of Carolina at Greensboro. [956 the year Drane enrolled in the •n'sCollege, racism was very strong "erica. Although two years earlier preme Court had outlawed segregablacks were being shunned in the school systems. Only six months before Drane was to start college, she heard of the serious prob­ lems a black graduate student encoun­ tered while attending school in Alabama. Thestudent could not stay more than a few weeks becauseshe was threatened byother students andeventually expelled.Theonly reason given for the student's dismissal was that it was "in her best interest." Sadly, this was neither the first nor the last incident in which a black student had been prevented from attending college. There was also segregation in transporta­ tion, restaurants, theaters and other public accommodations. Drane described that era as a "volatile, hostile period in history for black people." The serious incidentsof racism worried Drane, leaving her to wonder if her own life would be endangered. However, she refused to be intimidated and soon found herself packing her bags and heading to Greensboro. She was determined to make a difference. "It was an exciting, dynamic and ener­ gizing period for young people," Drane said thinking back to her college years. "People learned that they could make a difference." Fortunately, no direct threats were made to Drane or the other black woman attend­ ing the Women's College. There were, however, more subtle incidences that re­ minded her of the racism occurring in the world. One particular incident occurred when Drane left the campus to have lunch and go shopping with two of her white friends. The girls entered a delicatessen, where they tried to ignore theclamoring going on behind the counter. Finally, the proprietor of the deli approached Drane and told her he could not serve her. Drane soon discovered that as long as she was on campus, the rules of segrega­ tion were not in effect. Yet once she she went out in society, she encountered prob­ lems of racism. Drane spent four years of her life hoping that she might help change that problem. When Drane goes back to visit UNCG now, much of what she sees makes her proud. However, she is also saddened be­ cause she believes that some black stu­ dents remain "isolated, ignored, unappreciated and uninvolved" in today's college environment. She commented that racism is not as blatant as it was many years ago but still exists in society. She hopes people will learn more cultural values by being in­ volved with different cultures and races. By sharing her own experiences, perhaps Drane will encourage more people to take risks that might help change attitudes. "Sometimes we think that there's noth­ ing we can do,"Drane said."But no matter how small, there is a role to be played and a difference to be made by each indi­ vidual."

The Recycling Bin Composting of autumn leaves helps to enrich environment By BETSY SPRINGER Appalachian Staff Writer At this time of year, bright leaves are falling rapidly to the ground, and the trees are becoming increasingly bare. If the leaves are left on the campus ground, they will hurt the underlying grass. What can be done with the leaves so they will help rather than harm the envi­ ronment? Jim Rice, head of the Physical Plant, is responsible for making sure the leaves are cleared away. He hires the employees to remove the leaves from the campus. Everyone has heard the loud leaf ma­ chines around campus. They are actually giant vacuum cleaners that suck up the leaves after Physical Plant workers have used leaf blowers to blow them into piles. Leaf collection is easiest. Rice said, on sunny days when the leaves are dry. After it rains, though, the wet leaves get matted together, and they are impossible to blow. This creates more work for the vacuum than is healthy for the machine. The leaves are then deposited into some unused property of the Physical Plant to become soil. Rice said another solution would have to be found within the next few autumn seasons. "We're looking at nHrfflBWnHrBTTTBETrijrtMMiiaMidB mi to,'rim itiaaJt tSXBffifflBli' W some composting options, but the nearest location is a 20 mile drive from here," he said. Occasionally, some of the leaves are used for filler soil in the Physical Plant's landscaping projects. The Physical Plant is responsible for the mown lawns and the flowers planted everywhere on campus. Physical Plant employees also maintain the clocks, roads, garbage and recycling collection and plumbing of ASU. The plant itself is located near the Slate Farm parking lot. It is helpful to the environment that the leaves arc becoming soil, rather than be­ ing bagged and thrown away. If the leaves arc sealed in a landfill, they are not given a chance to decompose—they become immortalized in paper and plastic. The way they are handled now. and the future plan for composting allow $ leav es to serve their natural end. �The Appalachian. Tuesday. October 29. 1990 Professor honored ASU News Bureau Appalachian State University's Sus­ tainable Development Program will dedi­ cate its resource center in honor of the late Father Thomas Cowley on Nov. 4. The dedication begins at 4:30 p.m. in room 426 Sanford Hall. The public is invited. For more information call 262-2295. Cowley, a former associate dean and professor at Appalachian, believed world peace could be achieved through crosscultural understanding and international cooperation. In 1977 he founded the Ecumenical Project for International Cooperation, EPIC, a group interested in peace and disarmament, justice, human rights, de­ velopment and the environment. Cowley died in 1988 and left his personal library of hundreds of books and journals to EPIC. In 1990, EPIC do­ nated the collection to Appalachian's sustainable development program. Shortly before his death Cowley wrote, "If ever there is to be an approach to a solution (of the world's problems), one must begin enlightening the public, more particularly in the U.S. itself, about the myths and truths of the international con­ flict, of human rights and of the develop­ ment scene across the world." Sustainable development combines economic growth with environmental and cultural protection. Undergraduates can minor in sustainable development at Ap­ palachian. Graduate students can earn certificates in the program.

Heading the list of returnees is senior center Shannon Thomas, who led the squad with 20.6 points per game and 12 re­ bounds a contest a year ago. Thomas missed nine games in the middle of last season due to a knee injury but came on strong at the end of the year. Thomas has been chosen the preseason SC player of the year by the league's head coaches. "We expect Shannon to finish her ca­ reer at Appalachian in grand style," ASU Head Coach Linda Robinson said. "She has come back from knee problems to establish a force on our team that is inspi­ rational and dependable in terms of her play and leadership." Also back for the Lady Apps are Penny Roberson, Regina Ikard and Mitzi Yount, who were second-team all-league picks in the preseason. Roberson, a 5*7" sophomore, was the conference's Freshman of the Year last season. She averaged 11 points a contest for the Lady Mountaineers and started in 29 of 33 games as a frosh. "We are counting on Penny to pick up right where she left off last March, taking the shots we need and handling our fast break to make the big play," Robinson said, "She is stronger and has improved her shooting range." Ikard averaged 9.5 points and 6.3 re­ bounds a year ago, while Yount contrib­ uted 9.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists. Jeanne Coker, who saw action in all 33 games as a freshman last season, also returns for the Lady Mountaineers.

The Lady Apps played host to UTC last night. (Look for details in Thursday's edition of The Appalachian.) McGee com­ mented that the team is very motivated to come away with a victory. "There is a silent rivalry against us and UTC," said McGee. 'They run a very scrappy offense and defense which seems to always give them the upper hand. I feel like it moti­ vates the hitter because everyone is trying to get whatno one can touch."

Gym. By WILL ROTHSCHILD Assistant Sports Editor When Appalachian State looks back on this football season, arguably no single play will stand out as much as Steve Wilks' block of Andrew Burr's 33-yard field goal attempt in triple overtime. The block set the stage for Jay Millson's 33yard game winner that gave the Moun­ taineers a 26-23 victory over conference nemesis Furman. It also gave ASU and Wilks some long-overdue respect. Until that game, Appalachian had been often overlooked by South emConfere.-'-e and national observers. V>. ile the Apps were chalking up victory after victory within the league, the P al adins and Marshall received most of the atten­ tion. One player from Furman was even quoted as saying that the only team in the Southern Conference that worried him was Marshall, a team ASU defeated in its season opener. Likewise, Wilks had been sometimes overshadowed by his defensive mates, despite stellar play throughout the season. While Rico Mack, Gary Dandridge and Avery Hall grabbed mostof theheadlines, Wilks has provided consistency and sta­ bility from his comerback position. How­ ever, it took the block at Furman to get most people to take notice. There is a lot to take notice of. Besides starting for the number one pass defense in the Southern Conference, Wilks leads the team with 10 pass breakups and three blocked kicks. Wilks, a senior from Char­ lotte, is fifth on the team in tackles, aver­ aging 6.6 per game and has intercepted one pass on the season. "The defensive line deserves a lot of credit for the pass defense," Wilks said recently. 'The defen­ sive line gets a lot of pres­ sure on the quarterback and forces a lot of mis­ takes. We work together real well. Gary's (Dan­ dridge) presence over the middle forces a lot of teams to be careful down the field. We just work together great." Consequently, the Mountaineers have forced seven inter­ ceptions in their last four games and have held the opposition to a meager 135 yards passing per contest. Never was the pass defense more im­ portant than in the Furman win.

"In my opinion, she's the best player in our conference. She's such a complete player. That's what sets her apart from the rest."

Roberson was the conference freshman of the year last season, and made first-team all-toumament. * * * In a football note, despite the fact that ASU did not play a game Saturday, the Mountaineers managed to move one step closer to their first conference champion­ ship since 1987. The Thundering Herd of Marshall lost its second conference game of the season, 38-31 to UTC Saturday night. The loss means that ASU would have to lose its remaining two conference games, and The Citadel would have to win its last four to keep the Apps from claiming the conference crown. A win this Saturday at The Citadel would give Appalachian the championship outright. In addition, Appalachian State moved up to a tie for 10th in the Top 20 poll. Marshall fell to 19th on the loss. The Citadel is 2-1 in the SC and is the only team besides Appalachian with less than two losses within the league. The Bulldogs beat VMI 17-14 Saturday to keep their playoff and SC title hopes alive.

Smokers should be aware of this fact and be courteous to those that choose rttosmoke. If you smoke, be awareof thedangers you are posing to yourself, and also be aware of the dangers you are imposing on others. Do not impose ion habit on those that choose not to smoke. If you smoke, do so only in well-ventilated areas. In restaurants and onanpus dining facilities, avoid smoking if possible, or smoke only in the smoking sections. Walls do not separate smoking from nonsmoking sections, soifsmoking can be prevented in thosedining-facilities, refrain from lighting up. Hie Appalachian Faculty Senate passed a resolution concerning smoking on campus. It states, "In the interest of good health and good manners, smokers are reminded that they should be thoughtful about not smoking in enclosed and/or poorly ventilated places (all classrooms and meeting rooms, aiecorridors and lounges, etc.) in which others engaged in their ordinary sctivities are likely to be affected by the smoke of tobacco products." This resolution should be followed by all Appalachian students, faculty and iiaff. Do not smoke in classrooms and meeting rooms. Avoid smoking in tee areas that are not well-ventilated. Keep the health of others in mind when you smoke. Realize that your smoke does affect others besides yourself. If you must light a cigarette or other smokable tobacco product, try to find alocation where you will affect the leastnumberof people. If weatherpermits, lake the time to step outside of buildings. Take the extra step to be courteous loyour fellow students and faculty members.

Keyes, Jr., Handbook to Higher Consciousness (Living Love) / By TRACY TARLETON Appalachian Commentary Editor After two grueling 12-hour-long days of listening to the conflicting testimonies of Judge Clarence Thomas, Pro­ fessor Anita Hill and their witnesses, the Senate voted to confirm President George Bush's nomination of Thomas to the Supreme Court. It was by far one of the hardest decisions the Senate has had to make—hard on everyone involved, and "hard" is a gross understatement. The Senate Judiciary Committee sat for 12 hours, two days in a row, and listened to two highly respectable people give testimonies that totally contradicted each other. Neither the committee nor the rest of the country will ever know which one of them told the truth, but Thomas's nomination has been confirmed, and America will never be able to forget the struggle he went through to get that confirmation. Assuming for a minute that Hill told the truth, we must remember she was forced to tell an entirely male audience in graphic detail the sexual insults she had received from her former boss 10 years ago. She was not only forced to give her testimony to the Judiciary Committee, but also to whoever-knows how many people were watching on national television. The hearings probably could set a new record for X-rated programming on network television. Hill was subject to so many obscene phone calls at home that she telephoned the police. Now let's assume Thomas told the truth. He nearly broke into tears several times at the prospect of losing his career over a congressional horseshow. He called the whole process a circus and a new way to lynch blacks. When asked if he'd like to withdraw his nomination, he responded, "I'd rather die." But then he said if his nomi­ nation was confirmed, it was not worth what he was having to go through to get the confirmation. He said he could not understand why the Judiciary Committee and his former employee were working so hard to destroy what had taken him 40 years to build. After Thomas's nominationin July, Democratic groups who opposed him began searching for evidence, any evidence, to use against Thomas and stop his confirma­ tion. The Democrats had a tough fight in front of them— Bush had nominated a conservative black who had risen from the depths of poverty to become a lawyer and then an Appeals Court judge. The Democrats could not find anything in his past to use against him—until August, when Nan Aron, head of the Alliance for Justice, a group opposing Thomas, received a phone call from a Yale law school classmate of Anita Hill's. The caller, whom Aron said she knew, suggested Thomas had sexually harassed Hill in the early '80s when they worked together in the Department of Education and the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission. Hill was questioned, but it was not until after several questionings that she even mentioned harassment, then at first she said she "needed to think about" how to respond. Several days later she outlined her charges to an aide, at first demanding confidentiality and refusing to have an FBI investigation done. However, she soon asked that her allegations be presented to the Judiciary Committee. The Senate, at first split 7-7 on Thomas's confirmation, decided to hold hearings and listen to both Hill's and Thomas's testimonies. Both Thomas and Hill swore to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, but then told conflicting stories about what happened in the Education Department and the EEOC in theearly '80s. Someone lied, and we will never know who. However, I found several flaws in Hill's testimony. For one, if she was telling the truth, why then did she follow him from the Department of Education to the EEOC ? She said the harassment had stopped for a period of time, then started again after beginning work at the EEOC. Maybe so, but it still seems unlikely that a woman would follow an abusive boss from one job to the next. Also, Hill continued her relationship with Thomas long after they had both quit the EEOC. Thomas said Hill called him several times during the'80s, and Thomas's secretary presented phone logs of these messages, 11 of them over a period of six years. Why would a victim of sexual harassment call her abuser, unless she didn't take his harassing very seriously? Then there were problems with small parts of her testimony. Hill said that one day when Thomas was drinking a Coke in his office, he made a comment along the lines of,"Who put a pubic hair in my Coke?" Accord­ ing to research done by Sen. Orrin Hatch, this story came straight out of the novel "The Exorcist." Another story Hill told about Thomas's discussions about a porn star named Long Dong Silver came from an EEOC court case from Kansas. Hill's accusations opened new questions on the subject of sexual harassment. Some things that were not previ­ ously considered sexual harassment are now being looked upon as such. This expansion of definition has been developing over the past several years.This can be good because women have been afraid to speak out about their experiences with harassment for fear of losing their jobs or their dignity. However, the new attitudes about what is and what isn't harassment can cause problems if carried too far. On one radio show, for example, the announcer asked a female caller what is considered sexual harass­ ment. The woman fumbled for a minute before she said, Well... um... asking for dates." "Does this mean that a man cannot ask a woman for a date?" the announcer asked. "Well, if he asks correctly," the woman said. Statements or gestures that can be considered harass­ ment should be loosely defined enough that all legitimate cases can be heard and accounted for. However, they should not be so loosely defined that every innocent man who has made a woman angry in some way could be subject to a faulty lawsuit. The ideaof expansion of sexual harassment laws across the nation was presented a few years ago—by Judge Clarence Thomas. The nation will never know who told the truth in the Oct. 11-12 hearings. We can only analyze the evidence and decide for ourselves. Editor's note: "Newsweek" contributed tothis article. Tarleton is a junior from Wilson. She is majoring in French education. America should give its people the truth By CSABA BARAD Appalachian Staff Writer Let us suppose an ideal that people will not tell lies in their everyday conversa­ tions. In other words, they giveeach other pure truth. What else could and should we expect a public speaker—who claims he acts in our interest—to give us, if not truth? Is leading people astray not the very root of their indifference toward political life?Towardpublic election?To ward some issues concerning, at times, their own in­ terest? The widely-experienced disinter­ est of the most critical vaults—the stu­ dents? Toward work, and ultimately, to­ ward each other? Just think it over, "How are you doing?, What's up?," etc., are a few innumerable ways to greet somebody! But these utter­ ances do not always mean what they liter­ ally used to. The application of stock and well-used forms of speech makes our un­ derstanding easier. But understanding should not be reduced to frequently used phrases, for they have already been shaded or, like coins, are losing their edges. Fur­ thermore, oversimplified structures, such as those of Gen. Thomas Kelly, should not have been embroidered with such a funny word, "palpable." In short, if you mean something, say it. Then your statement may get bad reception, roughly depending on the circumstances. Already the ancient Greek philosophers discovered the art of making proper con­ clusions. As long as you have a true state­ ment, you can come to a good conclusion. Consequently, if you happen to have wrong premises, you cannot come to a right con­ clusion. Or the other way round; out of good premises, it is impossible to draw a bad conclusion. So, a public speaker must make his or her points clear. In order to convince the audience one is supposed to make distinct differences between foul and fair. I am personally not totally ignorant about American-history, and whenever I expected my American classmates to mur­ mur, sigh, or give any other sign of their disagreement with Kelly's speech, they did! Only in this century the Americans sur­ vived several turning points of their his­ tory, which came to be turning points in history of the world as well: the two World Wars, the wars against Vietnam, Korea and Grenada. Nevertheless, we know that 40 AVlW! I DON'T WW to m a & se&u W& TO MOMAliJ Americans saved hundreds of thousands of people from Saddam Hussein's death squads and further thousands from injury; we are aware of that as well, that it was a fight between unequal powers and it could have had a much more bitter end. Fortu­ nately, the alleged losses were insignifi­ cant, in fact, they were losses—losses in life. A colonel, on the one side, counts with squads, artillery, missiles and tanks against life. On theother side, wives, mothers and children count in the loss of husbands, sons and fathers. A colonel may disregard the dark side of a war, but those at home have weak hearts, which are simply un­ able to bear the missing one who will never come back. A convocation hand-out, distributed at the entrance, gave Kelly's military career. This begs the question whether a prelimi­ nary activity of a lifetime of work can justify an action of a series of actions. A private issupposed to simply execute what he is told. But the boss has the opportunity to make choices on his own. The ways and means, as well as the aims, must be care­ fully chosen. We have only to take care of one life. No need to emphasize what it means to pursue dishonest goals. But it Student protests fees ASU unfairly takes money for SAC To the Editor: Ois:r'Outeo cy T'Oure Meaa Services must be obvious, that setting forth honor­ able goals, and approaching them in ille­ gal or dishonest ways is but Machiavellianism. And now even Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev has declared that he is totally fed up with "isms." America is standing in the center of historical crossroads. In 1956 people in Hungary cried for foreign help, but super­ powers were deeply absorbed in the Suez debate. In 1968 in Czechoslovakia no one endeavored, to my present knowledge, to further help behind theIron Curtain. Those who had some property to support democ­ racies were afraid to, and remained silent. Then America felt a significant need and chose to put an end to Hussein's empire. But, on the other sideof the coin, America let people get killed in the used-to-be Baltic states of Russia. Intervention to stop bloodshed and see­ ing people get massacred occurred within the last decade—a time-span which is too close to put beyond attention; yet, both events received different evaluation. Therefore, I maintain the idea that the contemporary history of East European countries will bear a word of explanation in forthcoming years, but America has something in store to rethink. Over two years ago, plans to build ASU's newest monument to brick (the Student Activity Center) began. Since that time students (and faculty) have protested, written letters and voted overwhelmingly against the SAC. However, students have been charged nearly $1 million in increased student fees. I do not understand how someone can force a consumer to buy something she/he does not want. Does this not sound illegal? If you are the ASU administration, it isn't. All they have to do to take money from students to fund an unnecessary and unwanted project is call it student fees (sounds better than stealing or extortion, huh?). This summer, the General Assembly decided to not fund the SAC this year (that's one wise decision from Raleigh). Therefore, Chancellor Thomas and his band of henchmen were forced to stop taking money from students to pay for their new toy. ASU cannot collect more from students than the state supplies. In other words, ASU and the General Assembly match funds, and one does not exceed the other. If state funding is ever restored, Appalachian State still must pass an environmental assessment for the project (which it has not in the past two attempts) and have a biological and archaeological inspection of the site completed. Both of these requirements may be years in completion. Mean­ while, money for this project, taken from trusting and unsuspecting students, sits, unusable for anything else. Over S100 of each student's money in the past two years is frozen! See LETT ERS page 8 H II �The Appalachian. Tuesday. October 29. 1990 Letters Continued from page 7 I suggest that the administration of Appalachian State finally end this exploitation of the students and return our money. When other agencies and businesses overcharge clients for services, the courts and the state force them to return the difference. In the past, this has happened to power companies, cable television companies and others. Why does our administra­ tion think it is above these businesses and even the law? Students are buying a service from the university, and it is time the administration treats us as paying customers. Derek L. Harwell ASU Box 06774 Performers banned from playing in Boone To the Editor: The recent and controversial issue of slam dancing at ASU-sponsored events has been interesting to follow. Damien (Keyes) (and many other fans) feel they should be allowed to slam. I do not take issue with that. Matthew (McNaney) (and others, including administration representatives and probably some fans) strongly disagree. I don't take issue with those people either. However, since this controversy began (in fact, ever since the Psycho-Acoustics R&D show that kicked it off) we (P.A.R.D.) have been effectively banned from playing at all. I understand why Phil (Arnold) won't play us in the pub; namely that we draw too large a crowd: the last show broke all-time Pub sales records. He then suggested we play Legends. Sounds great to me, but that does not appear to be a possibility because the aforementioned controversy. This is purely unfair to us as a band.

The new schedule consists of seven days of exams which will W01 experience [egin on Monday, Dec. 9 and end on Monday, Dec. 16. Three, three-hour exam periods will be held each day of that week except Sunday, 0) exams begin at 9 a.m. and last until 9 pjn. with one and one-half hour breaks between exams. According to Brooks McLeod, ASU registrar, the final exam format of previ­ ous years was five days of two-hour exam periods, but ASU's Registration and Cal­ endar Committeerequested that thesched­ ule bechanged. The committee saidseven days of exams will offer less chance that students will have three exams in one day, will give students who work slower an additional hour and will give professors more time to grade exams, McLeod said. The Registration and Calendar Com­ mittee is composed of five faculty mem­ bers, one undergraduate student, one graduate student and two staff members with non-teaching positions, Brooks said. Members are chosen for three-year terms. McLeod, an ex officio on the commit­ tee, said that seven ex officio members. such as the registrar, the athletic director and the director of admissions, also par­ ticipate in committee discussions but can­ not vote. The exam schedule changes are partly due to complaints from some students that it is very difficult to take three exams in one day, McLeod said. "We were trying to maintain the same amount of contact time, and exam time is just as much contact time as sitting in lecture class," McLeod said. Although the exam period is three hours long, the length of an exam is left to each professor's discretion, McLeod said. Final exams have been scheduled through the summer of 1993, but the. new exam schedulecan easily bechanged there­ after if it needs to be, McLeod said. According to Residence Life policies, a student who has a 6 to 9 p.m. exam on December 16 can remain in the residence halls free of charge until 8 a.m. the next morning if they make prior arrangements with the office of residence life. The resi­ dence halls close for other students at 6 p.m. on December 16. Dr. Donna Houck, a professor of En­ glish, said, "I'm pleased to see the threehour exam period being implemented at Appalachian, and I'm also grateful that the administration has left it to the indi­ vidual instructor to determine how much of that three-hour tteriod he will use." Dr. Bill Barber, a statistics professor, added, 'T like the idea of having fewer exams on the same day and having them spread out. I don't expect students toneed the entire time, but it's there if they need it." However, Dr. Walter Connolly, a pro­ fessor of physics, contends, "They never said a word to us about it. I don't under­ stand why we have three-hour exam peri­ ods. It seems to me like the faculty should have been made aware that the change was coming and should have been asked for their input." Junior Sheila Kostrewa said, "I don't like the three-hour exam schedule be­ cause I feel you can get done in two hours. declining sales cause yearbook changes By TRACY WILLIARD Assistant News Editor By KENNY KIDD Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian Photo by Keith Jeckeon YEARBOOK STAFF PLANS TO PRODUCE MAGAZINE: Due to decreasing sales of the Appalachian State University yearbook, "The Rhododendron," the staff will now produce a senior book and a magazine.

Because students are paying more for permits, more for parking violations and are finding fewer spaces. Administrators are looking for creative ways to curb the hue and cry and punish violators. "We're all facing the same problems," said Sue Justen, parkingdivision manager at the University of Washington in Se­ attle. "As campuses enlarge and put up additional labs, buildings, etc., they are building on their lots. "That takes away close-up parking," she said.

On the other hand, freshman Becky Lowe said,"I think that it's [exam sched­ ule] good because you have more time to study. You're less likely to have more than one exam in one day." expensive so people are paying more." How much more? That depends on the school. Here are some yearly permit prices at colleges around the country: • University of Arizona—$20 for sur­ face lots farthest from campus; $1,325 for a "premium" reserved 24-hour spot. • University of New Mexico—general studentpermits are$45;$325 for reserved spots complete with your own "Reserved for (your name here)" sign. • Southeastern Louisiana University— last year's $10 permit now costs $15. • University of Nebraska at Lincoln— faculty reserved spaces (including a spot for the chancellor) are $265. Student re­ served spots are $150. Remote lot permits are $10. • University of Southern Maine—most permits cost $20 for students and faculty. Meanwhile, a large number of schools are establishing or increasing shuttle ser­ vices that make for a college version of park and ride. "A lot of our parking spaces are located on the perimeter so we found that a lot of students park there and take the shuttle onto campus," said John Henderson, ad­ ministrative assistant in the Arizona park­ ing and transportation office. "We're pres­ ently transporting over 5,000 students a week." Arizona's shuttle service is free, as it is at Nebraska. Nebraska recently put more emphasis on utilizing shuttle service after the uni­ versity hiredconsultants to conduct a study of its parking situation. Student Senate met Oct 22 with the main order of business being the discus­ sion of student fee increases for the 199293 academic year. Dr. Greg Blimling, vice chancellor of student development, and Dr. Ward Zimmerman, vice chancel­ lor of business affairs, came to the SGA to explain and to take questions concerning these fees. Blimling opened the meeting by ex­ plaining that since the school faced sig­ nificant budget cuts prior to this year, and the fact was obvious that tuition would increase, regular fee increases wereplaced on the backburner for consideration for next year. He continued, explaining that Appala­ chian has four main avenues for raising operation funds. The first is through state funds, approximately $6,000 to $7,000 per student. The second is money paid by students, which is the money proposed to be raised. Third, there are subsistence fees which come through food service and housing payments. The last avenue is through various gifts and grants to the university from outside sources. Zimmerman took over the discussion and covered the past history of Appalachian's debts and expenses, and how they were proportional to those of today. He showed that the school's net worth is drastically rising. Usually, with rising worth, comes rising debt, but Zimmerman said our debt has surpris­ ingly been on an overall downward trend. The discussion then turned to the spe­ cific proposed increases in the areas of athletics, health services, student activi­ ties and the areas of debt. The past in­ crease in these areas were four to six years ago. In the athletic area, a S9 increase would take place to cover band uniforms and the rising cost of equipment and travel. Health service fees would go up S7.50, and stu­ dent activities would rise 517.

Appalachian Photo by R«nd«ll Reinink Jljj. ni'° ROLLS IN: ASU physics club members recently experimented with week'y meeting. The club used the nitrogen, which is -320 Far^^u 3t enheit, to freeze materials such as balloons, roses and racquetballs. KE Their work is not easy, in fact, it takes an entire year of effort to accomplish their many tasks. But the ASU Physics Club feels their efforts are worth it. For the second con­ secutive year, they have been named an outstanding chapter by the National Soci­ ety of Physics Students. Only 25 of the 575 nationwide chapters receive this award. They were cited for their activities, which range from orga­ nizing various speakers to hosting an an­ nual physics Olympics competition for area high schools. "Physics is the science of everything. Every other science has physics in it be­ cause it consists of the very smallest, most fundamental particles to galaxies," said Thomas Hefner, who was physics club president 1990-91 when they received their outstanding designation. The members travel across the United States, to places like Atlanta and Wash­ ington, D.C. This year, the club is plan­ ning a trip to space camp at Huntsville, Ala., where former president and ASU graduate Jimmy Zimmer works. The physics Olympics consists of five to six events, challenging high school students to use their creativity to solve physics problems.Oneoflastyear's events was to build a machine that would catch an egg and not allow it to break after it was dropped from the observatory deck. "The students love the competition and come as far away as Alleghaney High School," said Brad Shue, who organized the Olympics. The club is going to try tc make the physics Olympics a yearly tradi­ tion, said Hefner. "It's a good way to get students ex­ posed to physics and the department at Appalachian. They leam that physics isn't just numbers and calculations," Hefner said. This year, the club plans to continue their activities from last year, including a canned food drive for the Hunger Coali­ tion while resuming the public observa­ tory opening at the top of Rankin. The public observatory session, which was last done in 1988, allowed various groups and students to gaze at the stars and was very popular, said Wanda Burns, physics club secretary for the past two years.

Stanford included those expenses in what is called overhead costs associated with research. When a university receives grant money, it can charge the govern­ ment for the indirect costs—overhead costs—of research such as a share of sala­ ries or general university expenses like library services. "It took us for quite a loop," said John Louie, one of four student body presidents in the Council of Presidents. Kennedy became the centerpiece of the Stanford controversy after thegovernment blamed him for the inappropriate grant use. Faculty complained that his highover­ head cost rate hurt their chance of getting grants, and students feared program bud­ get cuts as a result of the whole mess. "It is very difficult, I have concluded, for a person identified with a problem to be the spokesman for its solution," he wrote in his resignation letter. Still, Kennedy will not leave until August 1992. "This has marred Stanford badly," said Dr. William Spicer, professor of electrical engineering. "How deep and long the hurt is depends on how Stanford handles it the nextyear. That'smy concern with Kennedy staying on this next year. He said it him­ self.

We situated between Union Bay and Lake Washington. We're basically on a natural glass, and there are lots of bridges," ASU Justen said. "When schoolstarts there is a tremendous impact on the city." As aresult, the city passed an ordinance barring the university from adding any more parking spaces. The U-Pass is par­ tially a result of that and partially the result of successful programs elsewhere. Another university with a problem be­ cause of its city's unique natural design is the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Madison is an isthmus—a narrow stretch of land connecting two larger pieces of land. That has caused diminished parking space and increased headaches for everyone, both students and residents. To park in Madison for a prolonged period of time, people purchase permits for off-street parking and for 48-hour per­ mits in special areas. Police are serious about enforcement. In 1988 they issued 175,000 tickets; in 1990, 183,000 tickets. Through August 1991, the parking division alone has is­ sued about 100,000 tickets. Sgt. Victor Lambert, who heads park­ ing enforcement in the traffic bureau, said his unit justdeals with on-street violators. "We're very strict. We have 18 people who just give tickets," he said. In addi­ tion, another city traffic division stations officers at the city's parking garages to write tickets. New police bicycle patrol unitson some campuses are issuing more tickets,adding to the challenge students face on a daily basis. The new obstacles aren't making stu­ dents happy campers. "All dressed up and nowhere to park," began an editorial in the Michigan State News. "'No Parking' signs have become old hat and free parking spaces are re­ vered..." Just before the University of New Mexico announced its plans to build an­ other parking facility, an editorial in the Daily Lobo suggested eliminating reserved parking spaces for the university big shots when the state Board of Regents meets at the school. "That would force the problem out into the open. It would be the 'mother of all parking headaches.'" "If that were to happen, how long do you think it would take before parking structures began sprouting up on campus?" Continued from page 1 The yearbook will have shots of clubs, and all students will be allowed to be in the shots whether they are seniors or not. "We have reserved pages in the year­ book for coverage of campus clubs and organizations, but there will more than likely be more clubs sharing pages this year than last year, and the pictures are also likely to be smaller,"said Murray. Murray said there is a type of silent support among students for the year­ Murray said that seniors seem to like the idea of the yearbook and the maga­ zine. book. "The majority of Appalachian students don't buy the yearbook and don't get involved in it, but I think that when stu­ dents realize what kind of changes are being made, they will be more likely to voice their opinion." Murray said she is excited about the changes and is optimistic about the way the magazine and the yearbook will turn "The only real complaints I'vereceived were from parents who called and wanted to know why their children's pictures wouldn' t be in theyearbook," said Murray. "Photographers will still be here to take everyone's pictures, and everyone can still buy their pictures, but we will only be able to put the seniors' pictures in the yearbook." out.

The school will also raise fees in order to pay debts the school presently has. These include moneys going to the build­ ing of Trivett^ Hall, Quinn Center, Field House Addition, Physical Education Building and the student union expansion project. Because of rising textbook industry costs, rental costs are also proposed to rise. These fees, when added, will total approximately a S70 rise each semester. These fee increases do not include the specialized increases within the room and board area and for part-time students. Because of the proposed increase, Blimling and Zimmerman assured that financial aid will proportionally increase also.

Things have gotten pretty wild in the petfew years, but things are going to be a bit jjtrent this year. First, let's initiate anyone who is not familiar tilt this classic cult film. "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" was inttenby Richard O'Brien and started as a pliyin London. Success soon moved the play y. It was only time before it hit the Beethoven once said, after hearing guitarist Mauro Giuliani play, that this stringed instrument was a "miniature orchestra in itself." Tonight, classical guitarist David Richter will perform at 8 p.m. in the Broyhill MusicCenter's Rosen Concert Hall. Richter will please and entertain the audience with his talent, proving the importance of the guitar as an instrument alone or with an accompaniment. Before the 19th century, the guitar was not often featured in concert music. It was during the late 1800s that Francisco Tarrega took pieces by such composers as Bach and Mozart and made them suitable for the guitar. Tarrega's transcriptions laid the foundation for other concert guitarists. Andres Segovia, in the 20th century, furthered the acceptanceof the guitar as a concert instrument. Today we are fortunate to have musicians such as David Richter who will continue to show the world the beauty and emotion of this instrument. Richter has traveled throughout the United States and has performed in cities around the world in­ cluding London, Milan, Valencia and Florence. His live solo performances have been aired on television and radio. National Public Radio's"Per­ formance Today" featured Richter's music re­ cently. Richter has also experienced the honor of play­ ing with groups of high distinction. He was chosen to perform at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City as a part of the Master Class of Maestro Andres Segovia. This event was televised nationally by National Public Television. In Washington, D.C., Richter was alsoinvited to play at the Second Annual Andres Segovia Memo­ rial Concert. For his excellence as a classical guitarist, David Richter has received several awards. He was the First PrizeGold-Medal winner of the 20th Concorso Intemazionale of Milan, Italy, in 1985. In 1983, at the National Wurlitzer Collegiate Artist Competi­ tion in the United States, he won first prize. Richter was a California State Touring Artist in 1987 and received a Solo Recitalist Grant by the National Endowment for the Arts in 1989. The Solo Grant is the most prestigious recognition of artistic achievement in North America. Richter's performance at Appalachian State University will be made possible in part by a Solo Artistic Grant from Washington, D.C.'s National Endowment for the Arts. In his performance at theBroyhill MusicCenter, Richter will be featuring pieces such as "Introduc­ tion and Variations on a French Folk Song," writ­ ten by European guitarist Fernando Sor. Francisco Tarrega will also be included in the program as Richter performs "Capricho Arabe." Richter's performance will be in Broyhill Music Center's Rosen Concert Hall.

This show features music from the movie, includ­ ing "Shake Your Tailfeather," "Shotgun Blues," "Soul Man" and "Can't Turn You Loose."

This attraction has been described as incredible, breathtaking, stunning and quite unbelievable. The Chinese Magic Revue is rapidly taking the world by storm and continues to do so on their present 16th national tour of the United States. The revue offers more than a glimpse of the Orient. It offers a look at the sensa­ tional Chineseacrobatics, balancing feats, comedy, Kung-Fu, Chi-Kung, Chinese traditional dances, magic and much more. The precision and grace these acrobats present are aresult of years of training and discipline. Their art was formed by centu­ ries of great tradition. These acrobatics are more than perfection through har­ mony between mind and body, an ancient concept in the Orient. The show also features Kung-Fu and Chi-Fu demonstrations, both of which seem to defy physical laws. The past 11 years has taken theChinese Magic Revue throughout South America, Central America, South Africa, South­ east Asia, Zimbabwe, Monte Carlo, Canada, Israel and the United States.

CRAVER Appalachian Staff Writer The Appalachian State men's and women's cross-country squads traveled to Davidson Col­ lege Sat., Oct. 19 to compete in the North Carolina Collegiate Championships. The women ran to a second-place finish, while the men placed third in the meet. Men's Action Sophomore Billy Pemberton led the Mountain­ eers, finishing fifth overall at 26:03on Davidson's eight kilometer course, as ASU placed third in the meet with 74 points. Brevard College, reigning Junior College National Champions, won the meet with 40 points, followed by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with 50. Duke and Wake Forest followed ASU with 125 and 139 points respectively rounding out the top five squads of the 18-team field competing in the NCCC. "I was very pleased with our performance at Davidson, the terrain and condi tions of their course are tough, and I feel we have improved tremen­ dously over the season. Although some of the times may not appear to be exceptional, everyone did well considering the difficulty of the course," ASU Head Coach A1 Fereshetian said. Pemberton was folio wed by juniorBrian W atkins who finished 12th overall at 26:32. Senior Steve Simandle finished third for the Apps and 17th overall clocking 26:43. Freshman Brian Miesch turned in a 26:49clock­ ing to finish 19th overall and fourth for ASU, while senior Mike Bowers rounded out the top five, finishing 21st overall with an even time of 27 minutes. The Mountaineers will host the Southern Con­ ference Championships on Nov. 2 at Moses Cone Park. "ETSU is definitely the team to beat. They are one of the top five teams in the District HI region (the largest in the United States) and have only lost to powerful squads like North Carolina State and Tennessee. Marshall should be close to us for second, but I think we have the edge," Fereshetian said. Women's Action Senior Leigh Wallace and sophomore Nicole Disher turned in strong performances for the Lady Mountaineers,' Finishing seventh and ninth overall with respective times of 19:14 and 19:27 on the 5,000meter Davidson course as Appalachian State finished second in the NCCC with 65 points behind UNC's 43. Duke finished third with 91, followed by Wake Forest at 115, and the University of North Carolina at Wilmington totaled 138 to complete the top five teams of the 14 squad field. "This was a great finish to our regular season schedule. We are happy to earn a spot among the top three collegiate teams in the state," ASU Head Coach John Weaver said. Wallace and Disher were followed by senior Julie Anderson who clocked 19:35 to finish 14th overall and third for the Lady Apps. Seniors Dee Anna Davis and Janet Osada rounded out the top five, finishing 15th and 20th overall with respec­ tive times of 19:37 and 19:47. "N icole and Leigh both looked good in this race. Nicole has really come around this season and turned in some outstanding performances, and Leigh had a bad start as she got trapped in a pack in the first mile and was unable to get out due to the narrow trails, but she came back strong in the end," ASU Assistant Coach Todd Goewey said. The Lady Apps will look for their sixth consecu­ tive SC Championship Nov.2asASU hosts theSC meet. "We are preparing for the conference race and setting goals to win it, but it is not an easy thing to do. We are favored in the race, but on a given day, another team can creep in and defeat us," Goewey said. Apps blank Crusaders By WILL ROTHSCHILD Assistant Sports Editor Appalachian State won its second straight soc­ cer contest with a 2-0 decision over Belmont Ab­ bey Tuesday night in Kidd Brewer Stadium. The victory was ASU's third in its last five games and upped the Mountaineers' overall record to 4-9 on the season. Junior forward David Terry continued his ster­ ling season for Appalachian, scoring both goals for the Apps in the first half. Terry now has a teamhigh eight goals on the season and has scored the game winning goal in the last three Mountaineer victories. Last season, Terry was an All-Southem Conference pick and MVP of the SC Tourna­ ment. ASU Head Coach An Rex was pleased with Appalachian's performance against Belmont Ab­ bey, an NAIA powerhouse. "We played well early in the game," Rex said. "In the second half we sat on the lead, but that is characteristic of a young team." The Mountaineers were able to get into scoring position early and often Tuesday night, and re­ corded 10 shots on goal compared to orilyihree for Belmont Abbey. Freshman Jyri Lindeberg recorded an assist on Terry's second goal, giving him four on the season. Goalie Earl Morgan recorded four saves on the evening, helping to preserve Appalachian's recent string of good defensive play. In ASU's last five games, the opposition has been shut out twice while netting just five total goals. "The defense is tightening up a little more, even though we still have work to do," Rex explained. "We are playing a lot better defensively than we did early in the season, and we are not giving up the number of goals that we were early on." After starting 2-7 while playing all but two of their first nine contests on the road, Appalachian has appeared to gel as a team as of late. The Mountaineers stand at 2-1 in the Southern Confer­ ence with one league game still remaining on the schedule against Marshall at home this Sunday. "The advantage is playing at home," Rex said of the Apps' recent success. "Having so many games on the road against good teams hurt us as a young team early. We are a lot more confident at home and have a greater comfortness playing at home." The Mountaineers faced national powers Wake Forest, South Carolina, North Carolina and Davidson all on the road this season. Belmont Abbey, who entered Tuesday night's game with a 10-4-1 record, and High Point College, ASU's next opponent, are both top-notch squads in NAIA according to Rex. See APPS page 8 AppaJsc/iian Photo by Ciooy Pratt MOUNTAINEERS GET SECOND STRAIGHT HOME WIN: The Appalachian State soccer squad picked up its second home win of the week Tuesday by downing Belmont Abbey 2-0 in Kidd Brewer Stadium. David Terry notched both goals for the Mountaineers, who improved to 4-9 on the season. ASU's lady golfers continue improvement Appalachian Staff Reports The Lady Mountaineer golf team continued improvement on individual and overall team scores last weekend at the Furman University Invitational in Greenville, S.C. Wesley Hobbs led Appalachian State, firing a team-best 83 on Sunday's final round. Hobbs finished with a three-round total of 258, the top score for ASU. Pam Barringer fired rounds of 87. 93 and 85 for a total of 265, and Leslee Gainey had rounds of 90,98 and 91 to finish with a 279. Despite the improvement in scores, the Lady Apps finished 15thoutof 15 teams. However, the Furman Invitational featured the "majority of the top team teams in the nation," according to Appa­ lachian Head Coach David Osmer. Duke, Florida, Florida Slate, Ohio State, Texas and Wake Forest were among the perennial national powers in­ cluded in the field. "It is really good to be able to have a chance to play with really good players," Osmer commented. 'Team-wise all of our players have improved. Overall our team needs to be more consistent. I noticed several moments and spells of great recov­ ery and good golf, but not enough consistency. Everyone's short game has improved, but some lack consistency controlling their ability." Kim O'Brient and Mary Lytton also improved their individual scores at the toumey where the course plays to a 74-rating over 18 holes. "I felt everyone played to the best of their ability against some really good players," Osmer said. "Wesley played well in spite of some big number holes and recovered very well. Pam had one tough round on Saturday and had to rely on her short game to keep her scores down. All of our players know what areas they need to work on, now it is just a matter of doing it." The Furman Invitational was the fourth tourna­ ment of the fall season for Appalachian State. The Lady Mountaineers will wrap up their season in two weeks in Edisto, SC in the College of Charles­ ton Invitational. According to Osmer, the College of Charleston is a team that Appalachian State can "challenge" and fare quite well against. In an unrelated Appalachian State women's golf story over the weekend, former ASU golfer Angie Ridgeway qualified for the LPGA tour over the weekend. Meanwhile, former Lady Mountaineer Nina Foust is currently number 58 on the money list on the LPGA tour. lit �-The Appalachian. Thursday/.

"We look at everything as a whole. When our offense is down, our defense cheers them on and vice-versa." "I think we have an excellent shot to win the conference title," Alexander contin­ ued.

"They are both very good NAIA squads. We were fortunate to get up on Belmont Abbey early. I don't think we played any diffeijently than we have been, we were just able to finish some scoring chances early in the game better than we have done." With a 2-1 record and second-place, standing in the Southern Conference, ASU stands a good chance of faring well in the post-season tournament. Last season, the Mountaineers finished fourth in the regu­ lar season before winning the toumey in Greensboro. "I just hope we can get down there and play well," Rex said. "Furman is playing well right now, and they are ranked sixth in thenation. In termsof our overall record, last year's season was more disappointing because of all the seniors we had. You expect to struggle with a young team, and its been a good year in terms of getting people to come out every day and work hard. I tell the guys not to even look at the record because no matter how the season goes, you get another chance to do some­ thing in the conference tournament."

Manager mag be reached at 262-2157; the editorial staff may be reached# Create two-hour exams Hie conclusion of this semester will mark a change in tradition for Appalachian State University. This semester—fall 1991—will end with a seven-day exam period opposed to the five-day period customarily imposed by Appalachian. The new exam schedule calls for three-hour exam periods. In previous years, Appalachian exams have been scheduled for two hours. Anytime a policy deviates from the accepted norm, the positives and the negatives of the new policy must be weighed. Brooks McLeod, registrar at ASU, said the new schedule will offer less chance for students to have three exams on one day; give students who work slower an additional hour; and give professors more time to grade finals. According to McLeod, students have complained of having too many turns on one day. This year's schedule only decreases the number of exams given each day by two. Last year, five exams were held each day; this year, te will be three. Students may still have more than one final exam scheduled fdr the same day. This year's exam periods will last three hours. McLeod said this would provide students with an extra hour to work; however, he also said it was up such professor as to how long to structure his or her exam. Professors can now give three hours worth of material to work on during exam time as ed to two. Those students who work slower may still have problems finishing in the allotted period of time. For the new exam schedule to be beneficial, professors should plan on suing exams of two hours in length. If professors schedule extended Rams—those that take up the full three hours—the new schedule will not be beneficial to anyone. Students will have to study longer and harder and will berequired to spend an extra hour in the stressful situation of taking an exam. Those that work slow will still not finish. As for professors having more time to grade exams, the policy has not anged. Professors must submit each student's grade within 48 hours after eclosing time of the final exam. This is the same as years past. The only way tofessors can have more grading time, is to schedule an exam of two hours #less in length, thus giving them an extra hour to grade. The new exam policy could be a good one; however, too much control is pen to the individual professors. If professors create tests of two hours or I®, than the change will be beneficial to all involved. If professors choose •create an exam that requires each student to work for the alloted three-hour lehod, then the new policy will hinder, not help. Professors, the future of this policy is in your hands. Make this an amicable %. Create exams that will require two hours or less for each student. PNDutecl hv Trihiinp Mp Hi s ww - m mm By JOSEPH RAYLE Appalachian Staff Writer Ken was standing outside of his little shop when the helicopters flew by. A former buff of military history, he went outside to look at the choppers and smoke a cigarette. "Hueys or Apache attack helicopters," he thought to himself. "But what are they doing here?" Later that evening, as he went past the local airfield on his way home, he noticed several military helicopters were on the ground, and soldiers were making themselves busy with large baskets of plants they had torn out of the ground. He didn't get close enough to really check out what was going on, since he remembered that the soldiers weren't too friendly toward people who asked them why they were tearing up the plants. Ken had heard that this plant could be used for making cheap paper, fuel, clothes and lubricants, and almost all of these things were being made 50 years ago, before some greedy industrialists convinced the government to outlaw the plant so that they could control the patents and make a lot of money. Now anybody who tried to do something with these plants was arrested, and often their personal possessions were seized and sold at government auction even before they went to trial. Sometimes people dried out the leaves of this plant and smoked them, which caused them to laugh and laugh, but the soldiers and the police said this kind of thing was what caused people to start sticking themselves with syringes loaded with opium derivatives. When the greedy industri­ alists wanted to outlaw the plants, they were big sneaks and made up all sorts of stories to frighten people. They said things like smoking these leaves caused white people to fall under the influence of listening to jazz, and that it made the slaves get out of line. Actually, nobody respect­ able held slaves anymore, but that was still the original justification for making the plant illegal. Sometimes Ken would get some of these dry leaves and smoke them with his friends, and they would all laugh and laugh, and then he would get up in the morning and run his shop so that he could feed and house his family. He didn't feel bad the next morning, and he didn't smoke those leaves all of the time. Even if he did, he wouldn't be like other people who drank solvents and made their livers disappear and wrecked their cars. So why were all of these soldiers running through the woods where they weren't invited, ripping plants out of the ground and flying-around in helicopters? Didn't the soldiers have something better to do like protecting the country from people who wanted to take away the laws of Ken's country which were written by people who said they believed in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? A long time ago, some of those people fought off a greedy tyrant who was trying to get them to pay more money so that he could have more wars and get even richer. What a country Ken lived in! The laws actually said people who lived in the country could say whatever they wanted to say, carry guns around, and go to church wherever they wanted to (or not go to church at all). The people of this country would not have to tolerate soldiers or police running around where they weren't invited without permission, and almost everybody here could vote. But lately Ken noticed that someof his friends andother people had their cars and houses taken away because they had other things that made them laugh and laugh and sometimes say, "cosmic!" These people weren't bother­ ing anyone, they just went to work or school or whatever, and when they came home, they didn't necessarily watch television or go out and buy new things they didn't really need. And yet the police thought they were dangerous and sent the army after them while kids were shooting at each other over cocaine in a nearby town. By now, I guess you know that Ken lives in the United States. Ken (not his real name) happens to live in Boone. You may not know that over fall break, the military, under the guise of the "National Guard"was in Watauga County raiding hemp plots. A number of people have reported being annoyed by military helicopters flying around overhead while they are out trying to enjoy the outdoors and get away from all of the noise and hassle of life in town. Elsewhere in the country there have been reports of even more brutal things involving the army going down. How can it happen in our own country that we are being policed by the very military that supposedly exists to protect us from attack from without, not to interfere with our free­ dom of choice? We do not live in some Third World banana republic, yet we are faced with increasing violations of our personal freedoms by the very people who are allegedly here to protect us from such infringements. Why is our own government using our army against us? Did you vote for a drug war? Not only are people being denied their rights, but we are wasting huge amounts of time and resources pursuing convictions that have little more meaning than the Inquisition. Is it possible that law enforcement officials are wired into asort of survival trip, in which it is far safer to bust pot smokers thandeal withcrackheads? Think about it: Would you be more likely to go after somebody who is staring off into space, listening to Pink Floyd and probably unarmed, or would you rather take on somebody with over-amped reflexes, paranoia and an Uzi? Ultimate1), it should be up to individuals what sub­ stances they put into their bodies, and more importantly, we should have all resources, including hemp, available to us if we are going to effectively explore alternatives to our environmentally destructive methods of production. If we are to survive as a free nation, we must return the power to decide to the people.

Community should try to keep campus clean By XIAOLIN ZHONG Appalachian Staff Writer It might sound strange that a Chinese person is talking about cleaning, for as Bai Yang, a Tai writer, said, "We Chinese are dirty, in a mess and poor." Yang was right. If you had gone to China a few years ago, you would have found nowhere clean. You would have seen phlegm, cigarette butts, dust and trash everywhere. You would have avoided going into any public toilet be­ cause of the trash spread on the floor and the strong stench. During recent years, however, many Chinese people have changed. They (in­ cluding I) asked themselves, "Are we Chinese, who used to be the most civi­ lized in the world, really that bad?" The answer is "no." What foreigners can do, Chinese can do. Indeed, some foreigners have set very good examples for Chinese. Some of my friends and I were deeply impressed by what an American friend of ours did when we traveled together in a van: while we Chinese threw the cans out of the windows after drinking Coke, he held his can in his hands until we got to the destination of our 11-hour drive. We felt ashamed. If a foreigner respects China's land so much, why not we ourselves? Since then, we have never thrown any­ thing outside of a trash can. More and more Chinese people are behaving the same way. If you go to China now, you will find some places very clean. Nobody there spits or throws trash anywhere ex­ cept into trash carts. I was looking forward to seeing a coun­ try with no dust when I left China to come to ASU. Upon arrival in Boone, I saw a beautiful, peaceful town surrounded by spectacular mountains and colorful trees. I liked it at once. When I walked around ASU, I was impressed by the great build­ ings and large lawns. Ididn't see anything dirty. I was excited. I thought I was right about the United States. However, I was wrong. Upon entering some buildings, I was shocked by what I saw. I saw a lot of cigarette butts, tissues, papers, and sometimes cans in lobbies, corridors and dining rooms. In the lobbies of some residence halls, furniture was misarranged. Inrestrooms, I have to smell the same strong stench as that in public toilets in China. I am currently employed with Food Services. By working there I have learned that dirty things don't disappear by them­ selves. They are not moved by machines either. The hard work of cleaning people gets rid of dirty things. Don't you think it is necessary to pay respect to them by not destroying the results of their efforts? You might ask, "Hey, man! How can you complain? You get paid for doing this -XU.C ' fljf • /fyiyiH'* job!" Yes, I am paid for doing this job. I can't, however, do it all the time. For example, I clean restrooms twice a day. If no one else does anything to keep them clean, they will be clean only twice a day, a few minutes at a time. Unless you don't like a clean environment at all, whatgood does itdo to purposely dirty therestrooms? Suppose you are a cleaning worker. How would you feel if someone makes a place dirty just a few minutes after you work hard for a couple of hours to clean it up? Even if you are not personally con­ cerned with having a clean environment or with the feelings of cleaning personnel, you still have an obligation as a member of the ASU community to keep public areas clean. After all, it is not difficult to keep ASU clean. All that is necessary is to go a little further to throw cigarette butts and trash into trash cans and flush the toilet after using a public restroom. Guns are a problem Firearms should be better controlled To the Editor We, ASU's chapter of Amnesty International, are writing in response to the editorial, "Morality of death penalty questioned," which appeared in the Oct. 3 issue of "The Appalachian." Tracy Tarleton made several valid points against the death penalty. We would like to add several more points opposing the death penalty. We are especially concerned about the proposed law that would make any murder in the United States committed by a firearm punish­ able by death. Death by firearm is a huge problem in our country; this point cannot be disputed. But what we need is not a law calling for the death of another human being. We need to get to the source of the problem—firearms themselves. Firearms are easily attained in most states. There is a flaw in this easy accessibility, and that can be seen just by the fact that our politicians are aroused enough to propose a law that is concerned solely with murder by firearm. We need stricter gun control laws. This seems a simple enough solution, and yet it is not being applied. WTiy? Because the silent majority is allowing a minority (the NRA) to push the politicians around. It is time for some positive action—not laws calling for death. There is no proof that the death penalty deters violence. There are so many issues surrounding the application of the death penalty that it simply isn't just. It is applied in an arbitrary and often racially discriminatory manner. The death penalty is often inflicted on the weakest sector of society; the poor, the mentally retarded, the uneducated. Also, it is determined by countless random factors such as: the attitudes of police and prosecutors, skill of the court-appointed defense counsel and prejudices of judges and juries. Our justice system simply has too many pitfalls and loopholes for the death penalty to work. Article 3 of the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights states: "Everyone has the right to life...." Who are we to take away that right? God, Wyrd, Buddha, etc.? No. We have no right. The death penalty may be legal, but it isn't moral. Amnesty International's intention is not to condone the violent crimes of which persons may be suspected or convicted. In fact. Amnesty Interna­ tional is a movement rooted in concern for the victim. We must insist however, that no government has the right to take the life of another human being. Carolyn M.

X-rays and C| physical therapy, pays the salary of the 21 staff members, and finances the Wellness Center and the Alcohol and Drug Aware­ ness programs. Derrick said. A proposed increase in student fees which will be formally presented to SGA at its meeting tonight would increase the health care fees to $51.50 per semester. The staff includes three doctors, nine nurses, three nursing assistants, two re­ ceptionists, one lab technologist, one phar­ macist, one X-ray technician and one housekeeper. However, changes could be on the ho­ rizon for students. Derrick said. He said it is possible that the infirmary could begin charging for medicines that are now free and decide to discontinue providing stu­ dents with on-campus health services. "1 can see advantages as well as disad­ vantages forthe pharmacy to become selfsupporting," Derrick said. He said medicine wouldnot be misused or wasted if students had to pay for the medicine and more money would be gen­ erated for health services. "However, there will be some students who will not be able to pay for the medi­ cation, and if we begin charging for medi­ cation, it will open the door to charging for other things. At other universities, when they began charging, they did not stop with medicines," Derrick said. Fans No w theinfirmary charges for the drugs Sipro, Zovirax, Tegamet and Proventil, which are some of the more expensive medicines. Derrick said the medicines are sold at cost. Students are also charged for birthcontrol pills and pap smears. If the infirmary began charging for medicine, Derrick said more nonhealth care workers would have to be hired to manage the business end of the services. "If we began hiring people to do non­ medical things, student fees would go up, and we would become less efficient," Derrick said. inarch Forty percent of 18 to 24-year-olds have automated teller cards i, AMANDA NELSON By SUZI LANDIS Appalachian Staff Writer A^wlachian News Editor See FANS page 2 The eases in private contributions to 1 the,i^ Nschian State University, especially " from alumni, coincide with a na- itiot ^trciK'asun'versiries across thecoun3 record breaking dona6 * !L at'0na")'' universities received an of $9.8 billion, with an esti5 billion coming from alumni. — •,ate contributions to the Appal asage, "foundation reached $3 million, the ount lever. during 1990-91.

Der­ rick said he thinks it will be the students who make the final decision. "Ultimately the students will make the decision for thepharmacy to become selfsupporting," Derrick said. "Student Goverment Association would bethe body which would make the decision, and in the past SGA has been sensitive to the opinions of students." "The student government can make al­ ternative suggestions or recommendations to the fee proposal. We have thatright and will exercise that right with any of the fee proposals," said Reggie Murphy, SGA vice president. ATMs used mostly by students tki!

Derrick said the University of North Carolina at Wilmington contracts their health services out to a private doctor's office each year. "The university receives less services because it (the doctor's office) is a profit corporation," Derrick said. He added that other schools that have experi­ mented with this in the past, such as Auburn University, have not suc­ ceeded. Students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill pay $110 per semester for health services. This fee covers the cost of a physician consulta­ tion. UNC-CH charges for its other services. jt. There are signs that this year's dona­ tions will be even higher. As of Sept. 30, contributions are already 8 percent ahead of last September's total. Many believe the increase in outside support is partially due to the recent eco­ nomic recession. Last year's state budget cuts have also had some effect on private donations to Appalachian. "One definite up-side to the recession is that there has never been a better time to make a case for private support. There is also the fact that philanthrophy in general has not had a down year in the last 25 years. People continue to be charitable, and each year at a higher rate," said Tom Lawson, campaign director of Alumni Development. Another reason Lawson mentioned for the increase in the outside support is the positive national press Appalachian has received in recent years. "The University now is more visible than it ever has been. That brings pride, a good feeling about your diploma and that the college investment was a good one. People (alumni) are moregenerous in that situation." The Appalachian Foundation, which consists of alumni, businesses and friends, received more than $3 million in private contributions. Another $1.9 million was earned from investment income. The net gain for the 1990-91 fiscal year exceeded the year before by over $1 million. Alumni contributed the most (27 per­ cent), followed by corporations (24 per­ cent) and friends of the University (20 percent). Foundations contributed ^per­ cent and parents, faculty, staff and others make up the remaining 10 percent. Of the $3 million in contributions, close to $1 million was in the form of real/ personal property and gifts in kind. This includes donations such as land, build­ ings, materials and machinery. These types of contributions grew from $45,311 in 1989-90 to $818,595 in 199091, and accounts for the majority of the total fund increase. Most of the real/per­ sonal property and gifts in kind donations come from corporations.Three major con­ tributors of equipment and services are Sun Microsystems, Henredon Furniture Co. and AT&T, Bell South and Southern Bell. Cash gifts received go toward scholar­ ships, faculty development and other pro­ grams. The ASU Foundation supports programs such as the Appalachian Sum­ mer Festival, the Dark Sky Observatory, and the ASU loft in New York and App house in Washington, D.C., as well as faculty projects, scholarshipprograms and library benefits. Also increasing dramatically were con­ tributions received during class reunions.

"It just doesn't make sense that in a prison systemof20,000 inmates, theTe are fewer than 250 beds for the treatment of alcohol and drug abuse. This is an urgent need," Ginn said. Another problem Ginn addressed is the influence of political action committees on legislators. He said that limiting contri­ butions from PACs and lobbyists and by prohibiting govemmentofficials from lob­ by ing decision-makers for two years after they leave office would help the legisla­ tive process.

He wanted others to understand the humiliation, the hope­ lessness and the loss of self-esteem. So he began teaching a class about his situation. "I want to get my students as angry as I am about die conditions—angry enough to do something about it," Doucette said. "The problem starts with misconceptions about the homeless." When he first offered the course "Homelessness and PublicPolicy" through California State Universityat Bakersfield, only a dozen students showed up. That has changed. His lectures—peppered with anecdotes of welfare agencies, unemployment lines, street life and experiences in overnight shelters—are not easy to listen to.

Approximately 300 athletes from seven states, including North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee, will compete in the competition. from the college of business decided to survey faculty and staff to find out if they knew what benefits the university offered them. According to Larry Nance, the director of personnel services, survey results indi­ cated that a large percentage of ASU em­ ployees did not fully understand what is contained in their benefit package. "The bottom line we got from the sur­ vey is thd^people didn't know their ben­ efits, or even if they were aware of them, they didn' t reallyunderstand them,"Nance said. ' After the survey, each employee who is entitled to benefits from the university received a detailed statement to explain the benefits that are offered, according to Nance. "Another thing we did to help faculty and staff understand and get information on their benefits was to hold the Fringe Benefits fair," said Nance. "At the fair representatives from those companies that offer benefit plans were on hand to enroll people or to let them find out exactly what is offered." Nance said the major benefits offered by ASU are offered by all other universi­ ties in the state of North Carolina system because they are state employment ben­ efits. Retirement plans, medical or health insurance plans and disability plans are identical at all of the universities in the system. "If you work at Carolina, Appalachian or UNC-Wilmington, you are entitled to the same retirement plan," said Nance. "Once you get past those three plans, you get into optional type plans, and each •""titution is different." t h e p a l m The ATM machine on-campus has fea­ tures for non-First Union customers.

They are the product that these contributors are investing in. They believe in our students and faculty," Lawson said. For the last two years, the senior class has given a gift to Appalachian as they leave. Those gifts count in that total amount of contributions as alumni gifts. The ASU Foundation was able to cre­ ate 51 new endowments in 1990-91 and hopes to average 50 new endowments a year for the next five years. The founda­ tion is also looking to increase its total assets in the next five years from acurrent $15 million to $25 million. Currently, the foundation is in the planning phase for a major capital campaign. Fans Continued from page 1 The students, who congregated at the front of Winkler Residence Hall, began their march through campus following the game at approximately 11:45 p.m. They marched through the streets of Boone and returned to the stadium. Uni­ versity police notified the Boone police department so they were able to observe the students. "I'm glad our people were excited, but it seems their energy was channeled in a negative aspect. I wish they had been that excited over ASU's 26-23 win over Furman on Saturday," Laney said. All of the optional type plans offered by ASU, such as dental insurance and acci­ dental death insurance, are paid for en tirely by the employee, while the state shares some of the cost of retirement, medical or health insurance, and the dis­ ability plan with the employee. "Four or five years ago we compared ASU with other universities in the North Carolina system, and ASU offers asmany or more benefits than the other universi­ ties," said Nance. Nance said he was pleased with the turnout of the fair although only approxi­ mately 200 of the 1700 Appalachian fac ulty and staff were present at the fair. "I talked with vendors from companies who had attended fringe benefits fairs at other places, and they said the fair at ASU was more successful than others they had seen." t r e e s ! ! •1 A Public Service of the USDA Forest Service Bel and your State Forester.

This designated week of festivities is better known as Senior Week. This week will include various functions and discounts avail­ able on and off campus for Seniors to take advan­ tage of. Senior Week is organized by the activity com­ mittee which is a division of the senior committee. For the past three years, the activity committee has been in charge of making Senior Week and many other senior activities possible. Senior Week is a over four months. Many discountshave been made possible through cooperating businesses throughout Boone, which include Haircut 101, Boone Bagelry, AD-LIB, Word Works, Lily Of The Valley, Our Daily Bread, Varsity Men's Wear, The Sub Shoppe, Pizza Hut, Northwest Opticians, Mountaineer Mania, Pepper's, Did Someone Say Party?, Lon­ don Calling, Macadoo's, Makoto's, KlondikeCafe, Savannah Joe's and Rax. Seniors only have to present their senior gold card at the designated locations to receive these benefits. Throughout Senior Week there will be various events held for seniors. There will be Billiards i LCANDA . night at the student union on Sunday, Oct. 20 and the presentation of "Liquid Pleasure"atSollecito's by Kappa Alpha on Thursday Oct. 24. This week is intended to cater to all interests of the senior class. The most important gathering will take place on Tuesday at Sanford Mall. There will be a cook-out from 4 to 7 p.m. to bring all the seniors together at one time and also to vote on a senior class gift. Students will be able to enjoy the music of the Jazz Ensemble while munching on hot dogs and hamburgers that will be provided by the Appalachian Food Services. Throughout the week, seniors will be able to buy senior T-shirts, cups and buttons on campus. From Monday tlirough Friday, T-shirts will be sold from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the cafeteria. On Tuesday evening at the Sanford Mall cookout, T-shirts, buttons and cups will be sold from 4 to 7 p.m. Senior Week was first organized when the Se­ nior Committee was founded three years ago. Stephanie LineberTy, president of the Senior Com­ mittee, added that the committee works hard the entire year to help ensure "the seniors leave with a good feeling about Appalachian." Senior Week is just one project of many which is dedicated to achieving that goal.

Ferguson is one of the four artists chosen to participate in the "Rendering Visible" exhibition. The exhibit is presented through this Fri., Oct. 25 at the Catherine J. Smith Gallery in Farthing Auditorium. Walking into the Catherine J. Smith Gallery at Farthing Auditorium, one would see abstract paint­ ings and photographs hanging onboth levels. These are part of the "Rendering Visible" experience that has been exhibited since Sept. 25. The exliibition will be available only until Oct. 25. There will be a reception on Oct. 23 from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. The artists will be present at the reception to answer any questions concerning the art. Paul Klee, Swiss Artist, inspired the curator of the event, Willard Pilchard, to name the exhibit "Rendering Visible." Klee said, "the contempo­ rary artist renders visible, not renders the visible." In simpler terms this means that all artists want to capture a moment in time, but then they also wish the meaning of their art to be timeless. Pilchard was the last intern Director of the Catherine J.Smith Gallery before Terry Suhre, the present director. After Pilchard discovered the theme, he then asked the artists that had complimenting works to participate. "In earlier art, there were Christian symbols such as the cross. We are now in a multi-cultural society, and artists have different symbols,"Suhre said. He also suggests not to "think too deeply" about the paintings. "If it is a real work of art, it will force itself on you. It will reveal aspects of itself. You must ask yourself, 'What effect did it have on me?' or 'Did I like it or not?"' Art exhibits such as these establish our cultural stance among other universities. In the cultural world, ASU may not be considered a highly cul-< tural spot. However, those that live here know how much Boone has to offer not only in art exhibitsbu( in other visual performances. There are four artists participating in the exhibit. Marjorie Hirando is from Silver Springs, Md. She has been a graphic designer, teacher, freelance artist and a printmaker in her art experience.

The consistent effort to­ ward international interestson campus has resulted in the third annual International Week at Appala­ chian State University. Each year International Week, in association with Geography Week or United Nations Week, is held to encourage each area of studies to arrange more presentations and speakers on a variety of subjects. This week is a catalyst, or a motivator in increasing students' interest in foreign lang­ uage studies, studying abroad and interdisciplinary studies. One areaof International Week that Larry Horine, a director of the event, has highlighted is the International Career Fair. Horine stated this is the "first effort for the promotion of international careers in the history of Appalachian State University." The presentation is held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 22 and will include a lunch. The career fair will contain helpful information for anyone who is interested in an international career. There will be speakers from as far as California and Washington D.C. talking about both profit and non-profit sectors/There will be several programs available simultaneously, offering studentsachoice. The choices will range from the business areas to the non-profit area such as the Peace Corps. Other activitiesoffered during International week include speakers touching on subjects such as AfSee INTERNATIONAL page 4 Recycling Bin Recycling participation expands across nation By JOHANNA WEAVER Appalachian Staff Writer Everywhere you turn thesedays, you see bumper stickers, buttons orT-shirts with messages that say "Think Globally - Act Locally,""Recycle or Die," "Love Your Mother," etc. More and more people seem to be concerned about the environment and the future of our Earth. You may ask, "What can I do?" One of the simplest things everybody can do is recycle. The United States is running out of room for our trash. When a landfill canhold no more, people say build anew one. Where do the landfills go? People don't want it near their home, work or school. If we keep building new ones to solve the problem, one day the Earth will be a mass of trash. By recycling, the amount of trash that goes to the landfills will be reduced; therefore the current landfills will last longer. This way, new ones may not be needed as soon. Recycling also saves energy. It takes less energy to recycle than to produce an item from raw mate­ rials. Many of our sources for these raw materials are being depleted. Recycling an aluminum can saves about 90-95 percent of the energy used to produce a new aluminum can from ore. Depending on the quality of the paper, recycling paper saves 25-70 percent. A few years ago, only cans, newspapers and glass could be recycled. Today we can recycle just about everything. The majority of the things we use every day can be recycled. Recycling is included in the "3 Rs," which environmentalists refer to as reducing, re-using and recycling. Reduce the amount of trash that you throw away. Do not throw away unnecessary items. Re-use items as many times as possible, and if the container can not be recycled, use it to hold odds and ends. As students of ASU, we should be proud of our successful recycling program. It is so easy, espe­ cially if you live in a residence hall, because most halls have recycling facilities. There are recycling bins located in some academic buildings, also. However, there are problems with organizing recycling withineach residence hall. Leav ing boxes or cans or newspaper in the hallway is considered a fire hazard by the university. There are even students who go to each door collecting recyclable items, or those who donate tlieir rooms as 'recy­ cling sites.'

This is the first year students are being offered the BB&T credit card. BB&T offers ASU students a 16.9 percent inter­ est rate and a $500 credit line. There is no annual fee charged on the first year of use, but each year thereafter, students will be charged. The Student Ambassadors at ASU are conduct­ ing a campaign lasting from Oct. 2 through Nov. 27. They will host tables set up in the bookstore where students may apply for the credit card. Incentives will be offered for those students who apply through this campaign. The first 350 appli­ cants will receive a free ASU bottle opener. All applications received through the campaign will also be entered in a drawing for a free mountain bike to be given away at a men's home basketball game in November. If students happen to miss that chance to apply for a card, there are brochures set out at most buildings on campus. Students may send the appli­ cation directly to BB&T, but are encouraged to take it to Alumni Affairs, which is on the third floor in Founders Hall. It should take about two to three weeks for the credit card to come in the mail. Appalachian receives a small percentage of money brought in by the use of this credit card. Every time a student uses the card, the school gets a certain percentage of money from the purchase. After the first year of usage, the University re­ ceives an allotted amount of money from the an­ nual service fee charged. A co-signer is required only for freshmen stu­ dents and those who wish to have a $500 or more credit limit. All other students are required to have a good record, and it is recommended to have a past work history (a summer job). As an added bonus for students, one can also have their club, organization or class status em­ bossed on the front of the card. Since the BB&T credit card is a subsidiary of MasterCard, students will find the card conve­ nient What people often overlook are the consequences of being able to say, "Charge it." When college students spend money, they may get carried away and charge what they do not have. So, students, if you do get an ASU/BB&T or any other kind of credit card, be careful. Christmas is just around the comer.

Deceiving food labels confuse concerned users Born ASU News Bureau Read any good food labels lately? If you've tried, chances are the print's too small or too confusing to decipher. Cathy Nieman, a registered dietitian in Appala­ chian State University's office of health promotion, says it's important to take the extra time to find out what's in a can beside green beans or soup. New dietary guidelines for Americans recommend we try to get less fat in our diet," Nieman said. "Ideally, less than 30 percent of our total calories should come from fat." Because of the relationship to disease, Americans are also encouraged to get more fiber and reduce sodium in their diets.

"I start with photographic forms of nature from seed catalogues, books and magazines." Pilchard and Steve Ferguson are both Boone artists. Pilchard takes wood and personifies it into landscape forms, ob­ jects in the sky, etc... "I create images by collaborating with the natural power found in relief printed wood. I ink and print a block of wood to make visible the grain or marks left by saws, nails, drills, accidents, whatever, which I call traces," Pilchard said. Suhre explained that Ferguson "works toward a total effect by several parts." "Through the use of color and form I want to move and excite our minds to a point of specific clarity," the artist stated. Vandom Hinnant is a nationally known artist from Greensboro. His art focuses on geometric figures. "We are made with knowable geomet­ ric proportions which run parallel to pro­ portions within the total spectrum of life here on earth. I sometimes add words and ideas which come from my diary. These are used to heighten one's sense of mean­ ing and purpose behind the images. These written thoughts are used in a non-intru­ sive way, yet they register at some level within the viewer's awareness," Hinnant explained.

"Most Americans only get lOgrams of fiber," Nieman said. One servingshould provide a minimum of one gram of fiber, she said. "Not all labels give this informa­ tion, but it's worthwhile to look for it." Americans still tend to be heavy handed with the salt shaker. Products with more than 300milligrams of sodium areconsid­ ered to be high in sodium. A person's daily sodium consumption should be no more than three grams according to the Ameri­ can Heart Association. Also be aware that companies may dis­ guise a product's contents by using differ­ ent names for an ingredient. Nieman says sugar can be called sugar, dextrose, su­ crose or fructose. Salt can appear as so­ dium or sodium chloride. • INCLUDING HALLOWEEN * Located on Blowing Rock Rd. between Tweetsie R.R. & Boone 262-3910 inqcentercanheto! John A.

Appalachian Photo by Keith Jackson STYRON SCORES: ASU sophomore wide receiver Craig Styron nabs a touchdown recepuon during the Mountaineers 26-23 triple overtime victory over Furman on Saturday. Appalachian improved to 50 in the Southern Conference with the victory. The loss all but eliminated defending champ Furman from this year's race. ASU imroved to 5-0 in the SC and 6-2 overall with the win. The loss knocked Furman to 5-2 overall and 2-2 in the league. The squads battled to a 17-17 tie at the end of regulation forcing the first overtime in Southern Conference history. Under conference rules, the teams then alternated possessions from their oppo­ nents' 25-yard line. The squads exchanged field goals on their first two overtime possessions to move the score to 2323, but on Furman's third overtime effort ASU cornerback Steve Wilks blocked an Andrew Burr 33-yard field goal attempt, setting the stage for the Mountaineers' victory. "I just got a good jump off the ball and laid out for it," Wilks said of the block. "Steve Wilks is one of the most improved play­ ers on our team," Moore said. "He's made play after play for us." The Apps then moved the ball from the Paladin 25 to the 13-yard line, where Jay Millson booted a game-winning 30-yard field goal. "I'm always hopeful they'll give me achance to win the game," said Millson, who earlier had missed two Field goal attempts. "The fact that I missed two earlier and had to come back gave me more incentive. "If I had missed it (the final kick) I probably would have had to walk home," Millson joked. "We had been working on this (overtime) scene since the middle of August," Moore said. "We run this exact type of situation. Our players are men­ tally prepared for this situation. "We hung in there and had a terrific will to win," Moore added. The Mountaineers got another big game out of punter Harold Alexander. Alexander, the top-rated punter in Division I-AA, had nine punts for a 50.3 yard average. He also got off a 68-yard effort that pinned Furman at their own 2-yard line early in the"* fourth quarter. Freshman tailback Nate Abraham provided the bulk of the Appalachian running attack. Abraham gained 69 yards on 23 carries and scored the first rushing touchdown of his collegiate career. Wilks, in addition to his blocked punt, broke up two passes for the Mountaineers. Tackle Avery Hall and Gary Dandridge paced the squad with 14 tackles apiece, while Pat Moore tallied 11.

CRAVER Appalachian Staff Writer played with everything they had, but we held on for fivematches, and came out on top," ASU Assistant Coach Ron Twomey said. The Appalachian State volleyball squad trav­ eled to Greenville, S.C., last Friday, capturing a key Southern Conference match against Furman 15-8,6-15,15-13,14-16 andl5-9. The win brings the Lady Mountaineers to a second place 5-2 mark in the SC and 13-12 overall for the season. "We started out very sharp in the first set and dealt with Furman easily. They are a good team in the conference, and there is somewhat of a rivalry between ASU and Furman because Furman de­ feated us last year in the SC Tourney. The gym there was definitely a wild scene and Furman The Lady Apps were led by sophomore DeAnna Keen who provided the squad with 15 kills and a .324 hitting percentage, along with one solo block. Junior Holley-Shamburger lifted the ASU squad, knocking three aces and 10 kills for a 316 hitting percentage. Sophomore Michell Wright also had 13 kills. Twomey was pleased with the efforts of sopho­ more co-captain Joanne Myers. "Joanne had one of her best games of the season. She has really devel­ oped fundamentally and showed leadership, which is essential to our squad's success throughout the season," Twomey said. ASU and Furman were tied two games apiece going into the final match of the game. The Lady Paladins opened strong in the fifth game to take a 6-1 lead over the Lady Mountaineers before ASU bounced back to win strong 15-9 and wrap up the victory. "This was a great win for Appalachian. Furman is in the middle of the rankings for the SC at this time and they really needed this win to stay alive in the conference. If we are able to hold on and play well in our final three conference matches (Westem Carolina, UT-Chattanooga and ETSU, respec­ tively), then we still have a chance to catch ETSU even though they are currently two games ahead of us," Twomey said. The Lady Mountaineers dropped a 15-4, 15-7, 15-5 contest last Tuesday night in Blacksburg, Va. at the hands of Virginia Tech. "This is one of the worst beatings for Appala­ chian all year. Virginia Tech jumped out to a big lead in the first match, and from then on it was never really close. They were simply doing everything right, serving, receiving, defensively and offensively, they just dominated the floor," Twomey said. rnv T .riaso' sgmsrfoxa jo "'»»• a?d»' Despite the defeat, the Lady Apps put forth tremendous effort "We played hard, we didn'tjust roll over. VirginiaTech was just working right that evening, and their coaches said that it was the best game of the season," Twomey said. See LADY SPIKERS page 6 Apps best Liberty in OT Appalachian Staff Reports The Appalachian State Mountaineers scored an impressive non-conference soccer victory Satur­ day by defeating Liberty 2-1 in overtime in Kidd Brewer Stadium. Appalachian raised its overall record to 3-9 on the season, while the Mountaineers Southern Con­ ference mark remained at 2-1 for tne year. Appalachian Head Coach Art Rex said it was very important for the Mountaineers to come away with a win at home. "It's always important to get a home win," Rex explained. "It's hard to win games away from home. If we expect to have a decent record, we've got to get wins at home." Junior forward David Terry notched the gamewinning goal for the Mountaineers approximately halfway through the overtime session. Junior for­ ward Bobby Martin was credited with the assist on Terry's game winner. The goal was Terry's sixth of the season, which leads all Mountaineers. He also leads the Moun­ taineers with 12 points on the year. The assist was Martin's second of the season, which places him second on the squad. Rex said the Mountaineers were able to get into position to score the game-winning goal because of pressure they applied defensively. "Good things always happen when you play pressure defense," Rex said. The Mountaineers got off 10 shots against Lib­ erty, while Liberty was only able to manage five shot opportunities. Appalachian goalie Earl Mor­ gan recorded four saves on the afternoon, while the Liberty goalie turned back seven ASU scoring chances. Jason Levergood knocked home the other goal for the Mountaineers, who were shut out in their previous encounter with Alabama A&M. "It was a great game to win," Levergood ex­ plained. "But as a young team, I feel we are growing with every game." The Mountaineers are gearing up for the regular season stretchrun and Rex feels the young squad is improving. "The kids are playing better," Rex commented. "If we're getting beat, it's in the last 10 or 15 minutes. That's due to inexperience. The only way to get experience is to play." The Mountaineers figure to finish second or third in the Southern Conference, according to Rex. ASU suffered a critical 3-2 overtime home loss to Furman on Sept. 29. Rex expects the Pala­ dins to capture the league title. "I think Furman will win the conference," Rex said. "We're looking at second or third in the conference. That will be decided against Marshall." Appalachian State will entertain the Thundering Herd of Marshall on Oct. 27 in the final regular season conference clash. The Mountaineers return to action this after­ noon when they play host to non-conference rival Belmont Abbey in Kidd Brewer Stadium. The Apps will then welcome the Panthers of High Point College to Boone on Oct. 25. Following a home match with Virginia Tech on Oct. 30.

The team was not disappointed with their game against Duke, despite coming upon the short end of a 2-0 score. Appalachian played on their home turf and had a pretty good turnout. The score remained 0-0 throughout the entire first half. Duke finally scored their two goals in the second half. The Lady Mountaineers were very happy with their score since they lost to Duke University last year with a score of 7-0. W — | | I I .I Link Elise Steuer commented about the game, "That was the best game we've played as a team all year. I think even Duke was really surprised." She also commented, "I thought that Duke was going to be a lot tougher than they were. Appalachian had the first pass-back and got the ball down the field quickly. AfteT that, the team had a confident atti­ tude and held Duke through therest of the first half. Steuer and Link Melissa Puckett were the key players in the game against Duke. Left-irmer Sara Hopkinson commented that both girls "played an outstanding game against Duke." Melissa Puckett summed up the entire team's attitude and performance when she said, "Going into the game I was afraid that we were going to lose like we did last year. After I saw that we could attack and our offense was going against their defense, the whole team gained confidence and we played extremely well." The game against Catawba was somewhat of a disappointment for Appalachian. At the very be­ ginning of the game, Appalachian had the ball in offense, but Catawba soon claimed the ball and scored a goal in the first 10 minutes of the game. Puckett commented after they scored, we just didn't play very well. The score remained 1-0 throughout the rest of the game. Hopkinson was more positive about the game than most of her teammates. She said about the game, "We played apretty good game. We had lots of shotson the goal, but we just couldn't get it in the cage." The next game is a rescheduled game against Wake Forest The last game is against High Point College. These games are the last twogames before the Deep SouthTournament, which will be held at Catawba College November 1 -3. Coach Cathy Burleson said about the Tourna­ ment, "If we're mentally prepared going into the tournament, then we could do well as a team." Coach Burleson is also anticipating a good per­ formance with the individual players as there will be a selection process at the tournament to deter­ mine who will go to play for the All-Star team, which includes the top players from Maryland to Georgia. The game against Wake Forest is rescheduled for Thursday, Oct. 24, at 4:30 pm. The game against High Point will be held Sunday, Oct. 27, at 1:00 pm. Both games will be played at home on the ASU baseball field. �The Appalachian. Tuesday. October 27 1091 Continued from page 5 Furman's 230 yards of total offense was its lowest output since 1983, when they managed just208 yardsagainst Westem Carolina in the I-AA semifinals. With about nine minutes to go in the fourth quarter and the score knotted at 17-17, the Paladins appeared poised to take the lead. On a second-and-five form the Paladin 30, quarterback Hugh Swill­ ing hit tailback Billy Whitley for a 54yard gain down to the Appalachian 16. But the Paladins were penalized for hold­ ing, nullifying the big gain. Furman could not recover and was forced to punt two plays later. Appalachian, which trailed 17-9 at halftime, clawed back into the game mid­ way through the third quarter, thanks to sophomore inside linebacker Brent David. Swilling completed a pass to Whitley at the Paladin 18-yard line. David defended the play perfectly, jarring the ball loose from Whitley and then recovering on the Furman 17. Abraham then scampered 12 yards to the Paladin 5 and two plays later scored on a 2-yard run. The Mountaineers decided to go for the two-point conversion, which they con­ verted when DJ. Campbell hit A1 Ellis in the right corner of the end zone, tying the game at 17 apiece. Furman burned the Mountaineer de­ fense just before halftime to grab a 17-9 intermission lead. Swilling, who completed just two of nine passes in the opening half, hooked up with split end Damon Bradley on a 57-yard pass play to the ASU 16. Five plays later, fullback Heath Brownstead plowed in from a yard out with only 31 seconds remaining in the first half. The Paladins cashed in one of three first half turnovers by the Mountaineers in the first half to grab a 10-9 lead just three minutes earlier. Campbell attempted to run the ball up the middle on a third down from the Ap­ palachian 31. Campbell was stripped of the pigskin, however, and Paladin comerback Andre Worrell recovered on the ASU 37. Whiltey picked up 30 yards rushing on the drive and Brownstead eventually punched the ball in from the 1-yard line. The Mountaineers had captured a 9-3 lead by driving 56 yards in seven plays early in the second quarter. Campbell capped off the drive by firing a 14-yard scoring strike to wide receiver Craig Styron. The Apps botched the extra point at­ tempt, however. Alexander mishandled the snap and threw a desperation heave which fell incomplete in the end zone. Both teams kicked field goals to even the score at 3-3 at the end of the first quarter.

On Thursday, Oct. 17 the Atlanta Braves defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates lobecome the National League Champs and enter World Series play for the first lime in club history. Following the victory, a large group of students paraded through campus, yelling, chanting and sounding trumpets. The Braves' war cry rang out from Kidd Brewer Stadium to the Legends parking lot. The students displayed spirit for a major league team housed over ;ve hours away, in Atlanta. Meanwhile, students ignore the athletic teams housed on campus. Students fail to display school spirit by supporting these teams. Saturday, the Appalachian football squad defeated the Furman Paladins, S-23, in triple overtime. The win leaves the Mountaineers as the only undefeated team in the Southern Conference, at 5-0 in league play. The Apps arenowin the league driver's seat, controlling their own destiny with only two ence games remaining. Students should be more spirited about the accomplishments of Appala­ chian squads, than about the accomplishments of major league teams. Thursday's incident provided evidence that Appalachian students do have irit. Now, they need to project that spirit toward Mountaineer squads. Saturday's win over Furman was the first time the ASU football team has beatenthePaladins since 1987. That year, the Mountaineersbecame Southern Conference Champions. The same should occur this season with a win over The Citadel or Western Carolina. The Mountaineers defeated the Paladins in Greenville, S.C., less than tee hours away. The Braves won in Pittsburgh, over nine hours away. Most ASU fans attending the Furman game were family or direct friends of Mountaineer players. Few student fans attended. Students stormed the campus, chanting and screaming after the Braves »n. No such act of spirit occurred after the Mountaineers' victory. Appalachian students appear to put more pride and spirit in a major league flub that plays no less than five hours away, than in their own teams. If Appalachian students supported their teams as they should, Kidd fewer Stadium would be filled beyond capacity for football games, soccer Hatches and track events. Varsity Gym would be full when the Mountaineer Bketball squads take the court, or when the volleyball and wrestling squads feoff with opponents. Rivers Street should be lined with fans for baseball ^ fe'd hockey contests at Red Lackey Field. Cross country, tennis and golf tetld also receive your support. Direct your spirit to the right teams, Appalachian students. Support ountaineer athletics. Show pride in your school and in theaccomplishments "your fellow students. By JOSEPH RAYLE Appalachian Staff Writer I had a few reservations about Clarence Thomas before all of this savagery about his alleged sexual harassment of his secretary Anita Hill broke loose. I guess that anybody George Bush would appoint to a position that will have such impact on our lives for the next half-century should be treated with great suspicion, and a look at some of the things he apparently stands formakes me think that we are dealing with another heavy-handed Reaganite rightwinger. He and Oliver North go a-churching at the same evan­ gelical Episcopalian (no joke—there really is such a thing) church, which comes complete with a bookstore that carries anti-choice literature. I'm all for freedom of religion, but it is pretty weird that anybody can take him seriously when he says he has no opinion on the topic. It is pretty frightening to think that we're getting somebody who sounds more like David Souter than Thurgood Marshall on the Supreme Court. But back to the sexual harassment allegations. Senators on the Judiciary Committee, all of whom have probably led pretty comfortable lives and never suffered from such abuse without having prompt and effective recourse, are asking Hill why she didn't do anything about these things 10 years ago. It does seem terribly strange that she has been silent for this length of time, only to come forth to create problems for her former boss and George Bush 10 years later, but put yourself in her place. Particularly you men: You're a25-year-old Yale law graduatealready with your foot in the door to some high-powered positions and making the right connections. Think about the amountof time, effort and sacrifice you have made to get to where you are. Maybe there was some harassment back at Yale you had to come through already (law schools and lawyers don't really strike me as being the most enlightened institutions and individuals on the planet). Now you are starting out in a pretty competitive and prestigiousposition, where"rocking the boat"doesn't get you very far. Your boss, a presidential appointee, says some embarrassing and humiliating things to you. Maybe they aren't physically harmful, but the right word used at the right time can hurt just as much as a fist. You are left with a pretty grim cost/benefit problem: Blow the whistle on this pig, put yourself through all sorts of grief while a group of men decide whether or not what you say is true (all the while thinking that you provoked this trouble), createeven more hassle for yourself and risk the very high possibility of being blackballed, or you can swallow your pride, say nothing and try to get along. Choose your battles, as it were. It is really hard to say what the right move would be. Sure, she supposedly had legal recourse, but winning this fight only to lose your career isn't much of a victory. Never mind that you'd have a pretty tough uphill battle in a male-dominated establishment. She chose to lay low, strengthen her position, get past these incidents and on with her life. Initially, investigators didn't seem to be terribly inter­ ested in any allegations about sexual harassment. Only when Hill decided to go public did people get particularly worked up about it. Many people have suggested that these attacks may be politically motivated, and they may be, but consider all of the trouble Hill would have faced had she called Thomas on these transgressions 10 years ago. Now multiply that trouble by a factor of 10. Not only do you have to face off with a body of people largely only slightly more liberal than those who brought you the Salem witch trials, but now everybody in the country gets in on the act. You have to relate this degrading experience on national television; every journalist who can hold a pencil, camera or microphone editorializes about your plight; and you have to drag your personal life into the public forum. So, is she telling the truth? Why else would she put herself though all of this if she were not? She is exposing a very real evil that permeates our society on every level. We aren't talking about some bumpkin who joined the Jim Bakker Circus and later went on to fame and fortune squirming around on the floor like some deranged sex kitten in a Sam Kinison video. Here is an intelligent and respectable woman taking on established subtle and not-so-subtle violence and degra­ dation of women. I hope this signals a change in how women and men deal with each other. This looks like the start of a revolution, with everybody who is oppressed standing up for him or herself, his or her beliefs andrights. Anita Hill is dealing with these swine on their own terms, and she has a tough fight in front of her. Editor's note: Information from "The Nation" was used in preparing this article. Rayle is a graduate student in psychology. Why do we have to use so many containers? We should implement more effective recycling mcthodsy especially in bulk housing By BRIAN WINKLER Appalachian Staff Writer I hopped in the car this afternoon to go shopping for some things to help me re­ cycle my trashand save the Earth.I shopped and shopped, and finally my shopping is done. Boy I am glad, too, because the car was filled just about as full as it wouldgo. I think I am going to need some help unloading the car too, or else I might be unloading for a while. There has got to be a better way. I've got one box for aluminum cans, one box for each color of glass made and one box fornewspapers. All of these boxes can be easily carried to the bottom of my residence hall andemptied into their proper receptacles. I have a box for white paper, a box for colored paper and still another box for computer printouts. These have to go to the ASU Post Office to be emptied. Then there's the container for brown pa­ per bags; it gets emptied at the grocery store. Of course I also have a box for plastic, and I just take it home with me when I go. Well, I have to have a box for paperboard to recycle the empty 12-packs of beer, and a box for cardboard to recycle the empty cases of beer. Finally, I have one container just in case I come up with anything else that can be recycled that I don't have a container for already. Not as bad as I thought, really—just 13 containers. Add to these a trash container on either side of the room for a total of 15 containers. This makes me really glad that I don't have a room­ mate now, because with all thisrecycling, I just wouldn't have any room to put him. Actually, I suppose 15 containers is a wee bit much, even if it is in the best interest of dear Mother Earth. Itseems to me that I have a problem which can't readily be addressed. For example: when­ ever someone has a problem building a bridge, he or she calls a civil engineer. Whenever someone has a problem with a high-definition TV, he or she calls on the electrical engineer. When­ ever I have 15 boxes full of discarded materials in my room, where can I find the number of the nearest recycling engineer? Distributed by Tribune Media Services \W1 COULP W^TIHK That's what we need—a recycling engineer. Someone who will sit down and use calculus and analytical geometry to figure out how I can recycle EVERY­ THING, while still only using one or two containers. Ihave an idea, although Idon't think it is very new. My idea would apply to anyone living in bulk housing, i.e. apartments, resi­ dence halls.condominiums jetc. Every person should be is­ sued a trash can and a recycling con­ tainer. On the.recy­ cling container, post a list of exactly what things can and can't be re­ cycled. After this is done, a person should be hired as a recycling sorter. Since this wouldn't exactly be a glamor­ ous job, pay him or her a reasonably high rate to attract some loyal workers (use the profits from the recycling for the payroll fund). Here's how the plan works: throw your recyclable material in the bin, and your trash in the trashcan. That part I could u I suppose 15 containers is a wee bit much, even if it is in the best interest of dear Mother Earth. 99 hafdly call original, but the next part al­ most, has ingenuity showing .through. Anytime you want, put the recycling bin just outside your door in the hall (for resident halls), or on the common walk­ way (for apartments). Twice daily, the iqcycling sorter will come by and empty everyone's recycling bin into a cart which has—you guessed it—15 different con­ tainers. Sono w yourrecycling binis clean, the sorter's bins are full of sorted stuff to be recycled and your trash can hardly ever fills up. As soon as you see the recycling bin is empty, bring if back into your room. Stick it next to the trash can, because that is always the best place for it. That way, when people get ready to throw something, in the trash, they see the recycling bin and throw it there instead. That's really the key: for recycling to really work, it has to be easier than throwing something away. If we can get someone higher up to imple­ ment this plan, it looks to me like every­ one—the recyclers, the sorters and the people who don't now recycle—can be happy. And I didn't even have to use calculus or analytical geometry. Editor's note; Winkler is a sophomore broadcasting major from Granite Falls. Slam dancing criticized "W \ VJoitP NPM'HKTE AN UHquaL'FIEP R*TUP5& 'WDKi^T RTS'TONS Z. A.P.P.S. defends slam dancing rule To the Editor: I wish to respond to the letter that was in the Sept. 17 edition of the paper. This letter contained many falsities that I believe need to be addressed. The policy of not allowing slam dancing has caused some unnecessary controversy. It seems that some people think the administrators on campus do their best to inhibit freedom and fun. However, we must keep in mind the old cliche about running into a crowded theater yelling "fire." You have the freedom to do what you want when it does not infringe on the rights of others. Slam dancing can cause injuries. Some people argue that at other clubs they are allowed to slam dance. Let me point out that at one club in Wilmington, a band called Fishbone, which is well known to have slam dancing, caused 13 admissions to the hospital; the largest single cause in quite a while. These are facts, not rumors. When you attend a university sponsored event, the university is responsible for you. If you were to get injured, the university would be liable. Should someone jump off the stage to express his or her freedom and release pent up frustration and happen to crack his or her skull on the floor, a lawsuit might be filed against the university for negligence. And guess how that suit would be paid for? That's right, YOU would through your tuition. Clubs that used to have signs that said "slam dance at your own risk" now say "slam dancing prohibited." In this legalist society which causes the facility to take full responsibility, we have no other choice than to ask, in the interest of the school and those in the audience who do not wish to be injured either, that you not slam dance while at our events. We try to program for everyone. Believe or not, other people who attended that show were bothered by the �The Appalachian. Tuesday. October 22. 799/ Got an opinion? Letters slam dancing. They were getting run into and hit in the ribs by flying elbows. Obviously, these students are as important as the people who want to dance. To claim that they should not be there if they can't stand the dancing, would be prohibiting the rights of a group of people that wanted to enjoy the vibrant energy of a band close to the stage. To allow slam dancing would eventually lead to someone getting hurt. If someone did get hurt, then public and parents would wonder why we programmed an event that was known to cause slam dancing. Our only course of action, should this happen, would be to not allow that band to return. Some people chose to ignore the slam dancing rule when Johnny Quest came last year, and one staff member was injured by a student and had to be taken to the hospital. Had that student pressed charges, Johnny Quest would not have been asked back for Halloween. ZOO u. As for the letter itself, the logic and report is faulty. I am bothered that someone would slander us by saying that we created this rule because "certain cultural groups could not successfully intermingle without friction." Let me point out that the band Dillon Fence, which was here last year, is a good example of a crossover band which had many "cultural groups" that "intermingled." There was not one incident of slam dancing. As for Phil "something or another," his name is Phil Arnold and he is night manager of the Student Union. Phil told me that he did not say what was printed in the paper. Phil is a friend of mine, and I doubt he would either. Unfortu­ nately, the writer claimed in the end that the entire riot was made up, but he did not clear Phil of what he had said and the actions he supposedly took. I'm interested to know why this author included the riot scene in the letter. Is this an editorial section or a forum for fiction? I'd also like to ask where this person received such "anger and hate" that needed to be released in slam dancing. And what was the by Mark Weitzman parallel to his first release of "guilty consciences, hatred and fear'? The author said he wanted to find "a dog to kick." This is a sound decision made by the administration. I suggest to people who want to vent their frustrations, to do as the Club Show chairperson recom­ mended; get a radio, go out in field, and run into each other until exhausted. And leave your pets at home. Matthew McNaney A.P.P.S. President ASU Box 17849 Thomas administration? In the years I have been in Boone I have been amazed with what ASU gets away with. There was the land scandal where land was donated to ASU but then sold for much less than it was worth to friends of the administration. Also the community protest over removal of the Daugherty house had no effect on the administration's decision to remove this historic building and replace it with a parking lot. To the Editor: Now there is the Student Activity Center which has drawn unheard of protest among students, faculty and community. Once again ASU did not pass its environmental assessment needed to go ahead with this project, and once again ASU worked outside the law by disturbing an archaeological site and, therefore, destroyed a legitimate survey. All they received was a symbolic slap on the hand for destroy­ ing an archaeological site. What makes ASU above the Law?

Barker stated that this year Belk Li­ brary had to eliminate $100,000 worth of titles due to lack of funds. Inflation is also a factor when addi­ tional materials need to be purchased or a subscription needs renewal. To buy the same number of titles as four years ago, it will cost us $200,000 more, Barker said. "We have to cut titles before we can add titles." Barker added that providing the 4,000 periodicals for students costs the library over $700,000 This revolves around the fact that books and periodicals are more expensive. Barker said there has been an eight to 10 percent inflation increase over the past couple of years. "We are trying to take into consideration the feelings and needs See BUDGET page 4 Nationwide, libraries make sacrifices (CPS)—College and university librar­ ies are the latest victims of the budgetcutting guillotine, and administrators are frantically looking for ways to trim ex­ penses without losing their heads.

"It's a big problem," said Sarah Pritchard, associate executive director of the Association of Research Libraries. "It's a grave concern for the future of education and for the building up of schol­ arly research."

Unlike other student services, however, most administrators firmly reject the idea of initiating a fee-for-service method of generating more revenue. "Fees are very controversial because libraries are based on the philosophy of providing unlimited access to informa­ tion," Pritchard said. "User fees for basic services and for primary users is so funda­ mentally against the concept we are based on." Still, somehavecontemplated and acted on fee proposals. At the University of Texas at Dallas, the student newspaper. The Mercury, reported that the Student Service Fee Committee made an unprec­ edented decision to use fee money to keep the library open longer than the hours funded by the state.

See SLAM DANCING page 4 ASU Professor examines political action committee contributions Pen"er than the national dropout ^ has „ By BETSY BELL Appalachian Staff Writer To some, slam dancing may be a trivial issue, but at Appalachian it has become a concern. Slam dancing, which is dancing by striking one another with the body, at campus events violates the Student Code of Conduct causing Appalachian State functions to be regulated. Recently at Appalachian, students have been complaining about the slam dancing policy. Most slam dancing occurs during A.P.P.S. sponsored concerts atThe Pub or Legends, said Billy Maupin, A.P.P.S. club shows chairperson. The Appalachian State University slam dancing policy falls under Section 502D of the Code of the Board of Governors of the University of North Carolina system.

In these meetings, more details will be given as to the money needed for next year. The average cost of winning a seat in the North Carolina General Assemblyrose from $3,500 in 1978 to $15,500 in 1988. Why spend so much for a job that pays $12,504 a year plus expenses? Thompson's answer is that few spend their own money. And just as the cost of running for state office his increased, so has the number of PACs registered in North Carolina—from 29 in 1974 to 454 in 1988—and their contributions to political campaigns. Thompson's research shows that in­ cumbents received a disproportionate amount of funding from PACs. Demo­ cratic incumbents received twice as much as Democratic challengers, and incumbent Republicans received eight times as much PAC funding as Re­ publican challengers in North Carolina in 1988. "PACs seek access into the political system by betting on those candidates most likely to win and incumbents who run are safe bets to win,"Thompson said. Incumbents won 88 percent of available seats in North Carolina in 1988 and 98 percent of the races in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. In some cases, the timing of a PAC contribution can be a factor in an election. "A large PAC contribution early on in a race might scare off the challenger who can't compete with a large war chest," Thompson said. "Some will make large contributions after the race and help retire a large cam­ paign debt," Thompson said. "It's a safer bet to contribute after a candidate is elected." PACs contribute more money to in­ cumbents in leadership positions than to rank-and-file members. State political parties have different funding prioritiesfor incumbents and chal­ lengers. "If you're the minority party, your strategy is probably to try to control the legislative chamber,"Thompson said. "A party does that by knocking off vulner­ able incumbents from the other party and supporting quality challengers within their own party." A party in the majority is more concerned with protecting its in­ cumbents. Slate political parties are also more likely to fund candidates in close races, he said. The rising costs of campaigning mad fundraising a year-round process Thompson said, especially for seats tha are up for election every two years. Do PAC contributions influence th votesof legislators?Thompson said there' no way to determine if PACs contribute t politicians who vote their way, or if cor tributions are made to influence politi cians. "Legislators are going to serv multiple constituents based on the regio they serve, its industry and their ow interests," Thompson said. "We can't say for certain, but there i supporting e v idence that money matters, Thompjson said. For incumbents, nam recognition and position in the party at more important than money, while cha lengers need contributions to offset th value of an incumbancy. �* 2_ The Appalachian. Thurcda-v.

"We do get a lot of donations of books, but unfortunately they're not always the books that we need," said John Flemming, interim co-director of library services at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. As other alternatives, many schools are looking toshare sources throughprograms like inter-library loan; they are cutting back on investments in rare book collec­ tions; they are charging minimal fees for specialized services, and they are focus­ ing on continued technological advance­ ments like computer databases that will save them money in the long run. On the down side, however, many schools are also reducing staff hours and cancelling subscriptions to some schol­ arly journals. "We've been circulating lists of jour­ nals to departments asking them which to get rid of," said P.Grady Morein, director of library services at the University of West Florida.

West Florida is also cutting its hours— the library is currently closed on Satur­ days and has shaved a half-hour from its daily hours of operation. Students, upset with the reduction of hours, are petitioning the university's ad­ ministration. At the University of Arizona, where daily closing hours were shifted from 2 a.m. to midnight because of cuts, student government officials objected so strongly that the university reallocated $24,000 to the library to reinstate the lost hours. "There are still real cuts in other areas that at the moment aren't apparent," said Carla Stoffle, Arizona's head librarian. "There will be less access to materials and less bibliographical access, among other things." Arizona's library had its budget cut $240,000 this year, but the administration had promised Stoffle $1 million for tech­ nical automation of the library. "We are aggressively moving ahead with the automation, and that will ulti­ mately enhance our services," she said. At the University of Illinois in Urbana, a $233,000 cut to the library's service budget also forced hour reductions. "We didn't receive cuts to our materi­ als budget, but we had to cancel 1,060 journals just to hold the line," said Dale Montanelli, director of administrative ser­ vices for the library. Pritchard said it's important to con­ tinue journal subscriptions because itcosts more to reorder missing back issues when subscriptions are renewed after a period of cancellation. Montanelli said students at Illinois haven't protested too loudly yet, but "by the beginning of next month I'm sure we'll notice a hue and cry."

October 17 1991 Professor studies laughter Budget (CPS)—"A fellow comes up to me at a party, and he says, 'I understand you're a doctor—do something medical."' Pause. "So I made him wait," Laughter. "And then I billed him forit." More laugh­ ter. When it's a good night on the comedy club circuit, America's Laugh Doctor knocks them dead. Cliff Kuhn gives the audience a cure for their blues. It's magic, almost chemical. They love his jokes! They love him! And then there are bad nights when the audience is unresponsive, too embarrassed for him even to titter. He's stumbling in blind panic, trying to come up with a feeble joke, anything that will make the act okay again. Flopsweat, it's called. A standup comic's worst nightmare. But the bright nights in comedy clubs are more than just gigs to Kuhn, who went on the standup circuit this year to do indepth research on laughter and its role in healing. His specialty as a professor of commu­ nity psychiatry at the University of Louis­ ville School of Medicine is finding out why mind-body interaction is so impwrtant to people with chronic ailments, such as rheumatoid arthritis and life-threaten­ ing illnesses like cancer. So, with the blessing of the school, he went on sabbatical tostudy laughter, which has been proven to be good medicine. "I was always a frustrated comic in one way or another," he said. Kuhn said he actually started working with standupcomedians to learn the tricks to the trade when he began holding laugh­ ter workshops for patients with chronic conditions that defied the treatments of modem medicine. In recent years, researchers have found that laughter actually helps relieve some sympXoms. "Laughter raises the tolerance for pain. It also stimulates the immune system," said Kuhn. Laughter boosts T-cells, natu­ ral killer cells. "They're in more abun­ dance in those who laugh more. It's been well-documented that laughter is a valu­ able tool for eliminating stress and ten­ sion." In order to jrosent live comedy mate­ rial at the workshops, Kuhn started hang­ ing around comedy clubs. "I asked so many questions about the techniques of comedy that the comics threw thegauntlet down andsaid, 'You've got to get up there.'" Gulp. So he did. "It was a kick. I thought I was the best comic since Bob Hop>e. It was the second time that was bad," Kuhn said. "It's a terrible feeling to stand up there and hit them with a joke...and you get silence," he said. "It's totally embarrass­ ing. You panic and feel silly and stupid. It takes a long time to get rid of the feeling to just run off stage." Kuhn said he has a new-found respject for the business. "The people whoare good make it look easy. It takes an awful lot of energy," he said. The secret, he said, is letting the audi­ ence know in the first 10 to 15 seconds that it's okay to laugh with you— or at you. "There's a certain inhibition to laugh­ ing in public," said Kuhn, who noted that it was not acceptable in Western culture to laugh out loud in public until the pnst 200 years or so. Even now, there is a certain uneasiness and suspicion about pieople who smile a lot or laugh easily. They tend to be viewed as goof-offs or frivolous, he said. "We somehow feel we're being more responsible if we look at the dark side," he said. "We have a tendency in our society to take ourselves too seriously." Kuhn said he plans to keep a diary while on his 18-city tour, take notes and interview fellow comics. Once he fin­ ishes, he plans to report the findings in a book. The lure of the road is strong, but Kuhn plans to hand up the microphone. "I do love it, but I really love my work in psychiatry too. I have a serious com­ mitment to bring this back into the medi­ cal community." Write a ie|ie. The f l o n a f J g l a Continued from page 1 of the students, but in this instance, our hands are tied," he added. Barker stressed the library is trying to help assist students, stating: "As of Nov. 3, 1991, the library will be reinstating the 11 p.m. to midnight hours from Sunday until Thursday. Those are the hours in which we feel that students will use the most. We are here to help the students as much as possible. We also want to encourage the students to be aware of the new hours and plan around them." He suggested students should try to encourage the school and administration to have 24-hour study rooms in other buildings around campus. "It's not safe for students to walk across campus at 3 am. Most residence halls do not provide adequate study rooms. This should be changed to ensure the safety of the students," Barker said. Students are also adjusting to the change of hours, which most agreed is the cut­ back that is affecting them most. "The library should be opien so that we can have a place tostudy on the spur of the moment. Most students do not plan their studies around the library. It is a conve­ nience that should always be available to us," said ASU student Michael Miller. Some students are upset about the library's inability to let them know the new hours. -— ASU senior Todd Danner stated: The problem would have not been quite so bad if the library or university had told the students about the changes. It is very frustrating to walk to the library and find it closed." Student employees of the library said they also experience some frustration. While some enjoy getting off an hour early, many feel the pinch in their purses. "It is unfair to students in general and those who work here.If a student plans on working a certain number of hours to cover bills and expenses, then those hours are cut short, it hurts,"says Carol Lee, an ASU senior and library worker.

The use of fans causes the smoke to travel faster, Hathaway said. The smoking issue will be discussed in further detail at a later date, for a better resolution. Turner asked the senate to look into dif­ ferent ways to relieve these differences. Dr. Milton Hathaway, a lecturer in Li­ brary Science, brought forth his proposal concerning smoking on campus.

One solution suggested by slam dancer Brian Walls, who is an ASU fresh­ man, is to designate part of the dance floor and allow pieople to slam dance there. However, Maupin had a different sug­ gestion. "If you really want to do it (slam dance), then go out into a field and set up music," Maupin said. To inform students of the Code, signs are posted at concerts prohibiting slam dancing or stage diving. Stage diving is diving off the stage, during a concert, into the audience. When aperson ignores thepwsted signs, he or she is asked to leave the concert, and may be banned from attending future func­ tions, said Maupin. To minimize any questions students have about the policy, Maupin said that A.P.P.S. publicized it to inform groups.

Beausoleil has been fea­ tured onThe Today Show, West 57th, and Austin City Limits. One of their perfor­ mance videos has even been aired by the Showtime cable network. Beausoleil has also played with such well-known artists as Keith Richards and the Grateful Dead. They have been nomi­ nated three times to receive a Grammy Award, and have been called "the best Cajun band in the world" by "A Prairie Home Companion's" Garrison Keillor. Aside from all that, Beausoleil tours around the country performing in dance and con­ cert halls. Cajun culture was born in Louisiana in themid 1700s. French settlers from Acadia were forced to leave their homes. Finally, their search for a new land ended in the southwestern partofLouisiana.The Cajun people were farmers and trappers, and kept their culture a secret for many years. The pride, the courage and the struggle those people demonstrated became em­ bodied in a single word—Beausoleil. Today, the Cajun band Beausoleil blends the traditional sounds of their ori­ gin with a fresh new style they'vecreated. _ ..... Of their 11 albums, Beausoleil's latest release is believed to be the best, accord­ ing to Michael Doucet.The album iscalled "Cajun Conja," and consists of twelve original songs threaded with jazz, blues, and island rhythms. The band's long-time friend and collaborator, Richard Thomp­ son, also makes a guest appearance. The band iscurrently on tour to promote "Cajun Conja." Beausoleil is performing at Appala­ chian State University as a part of the Performing Arts Series of the Office of Cultural Affairs. For those who are interested in learn­ ing more about the music and musicians of Louisiana, there will be a film entitled "J'Ai Ete Au Bal" shown at 4 p.m. on Oct. 17. The film features live perfor­ mances, personal interviews and histori­ cal footage to help the audience under­ stand Cajun style music. "J'Ai Ete Au Bal" will be shown in Farthing Audito­ rium and is open to everyone with no admission charge. Between the film and Beausoleil, we should all come away knowing that there is more to the concept of "cajun" than chicken wings and shrimp. SPICE UP YOUR NIGHT WITH CAJUN MUSIC AND FUN: Beausoleil will perform tonight in Farthing Auditorium. This Cajun band is known throughout the country for their rousing live performances. Tickets are $4 for students and $8 for nonstudents. There will also be a free film at 4 p.m. on Louisiana's music and musicians in Farthing. International Week celebrates Asian and African music fcLORRIEGANTT ipinlachian Staff Writer Oct 20-26 will be International Week Appalachian State University. As a pilot the week-long celebration the ipecial Performing Arts Series welmes Robert Washburn on Oct. 21 as he pisenls "A Demonstration of African ®d Asian Music." The performance till begin at 8 p.m. in Rosen Concert As a dean and professor emeritus at the Crane School of Music at Potsdam Col­ lege of the State University of New York, Washburn teaches courses in world music. Not only is he an instructor, but Washburn is a student of music himself— he is an ethnomusicologist. The New Encyclopedia Brittanica de­ fines ethnomusicology as the following: the scientific study of music in any world culture or subculture in terms of its actual sounds and performance practices, in its relation to the specific culture, and in comparison with other cultures. Basically, Washburn does extensive studies on certain types of music native only to a specific area. Aside from his demonstrations, Washburn writes about his discoveries in many music ar­ ticles. The demonstration that W ashbum will present at ASU will consistof African and Asian music. His presentation is rich with authenticity due to his travels, which have allowed him to witness the culture and music of Africa and Asia in person. In July and August of 1978 Washburn joined a Comparative Cross-African Societies program with the American Forum for African Studies. Washburn has had the opportunity to visit and to study in many countries. In 1974-75 he took a sabbatical leave and journeyed from Morocco toIndia. In 1986 he received a Fullbright Senior Fellow­ ship to Egypt. For a short time in 1988, Washburn was in Jordan. He was commissioned to compose the "Queen Noor Suite," which he performed for the opening of the conservatory of the Royal Cultural Center, located in the city of Amman, Jordan's capitol. Some of Washburn's other composi­ tions include "Impressions of Cairo" and "Kilimanjaro." Both pieces were written for a symphonic band. "Saraswati Suite" is another piece, written for strings and tabla. Although the knowledge and inspira­ tion Washburn receives from his work is reward enough, he has also managed to gather a number of tangible items. Hehas assembled a collection of over one hun­ dred musical instruments from all over the world.Several of his instruments have been displayed in presentations and in gallery showings. ASU is proud to welcome Robert Washburn as he presents "A Demonstra­ tion of African and Asian Music." So come and celebrate International Week; come and experience a taste of another culture through music. -Freddy is The Connells return lead again to Legends' stage k ROMAN M.

However, don't always believe what you hear, because The Connells are back at ASU playing Satur­ day night, Oct. 19 at Legends. Doors open at 8:30 for the opening band Mary on the Dash from Chapel Hill, and The Connells will start around 10:30. The tickets are $8.00 in ad v ance and $10.00 at the door. The band has been on tour since Sept. 19 traveling up and down the East Coast and will makeits final stop at ASU.Cheetie Kumar from Black Park said, "the last night of the tours are usually the best." The band has gained popularity through what they call their "New Stream" music. The music is great to dance to, but at the same time the group is known for the harmonious sound that is not always found in college music. Hard rock or rap fans may not enjoy this sound but, then again, The Connells always play powerful concerts. They usually reappear for at least two encores. The trumpet used in songs such as"Over There" off of the "Boylan Heights" LP will not be used at this concert as it was in this summer's concert at the Raleigh Photo Courtesy of Jeffrey S.

The band con­ sists of guitarist MikeConnell, bass player p.m. David Connell, lead vocalist Doug MacMillan, guitarist, vocalist and keyboardist George Huntley, and drum­ mer Peele Wimberly, formerly of Johnny Quest. The band originated in 1984 while brothers Mike and David Connell were attending University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After Mike finished law school and took the bar exam, the band began touring all over the country. In 1986 "Darker Days"was released,and the next year "Boylan Heights" was re­ corded. In 1989 "Fun and Games" began The Connells' popularity rise. The first single, "Something to Say," received some radio air play but not as much as the single "S tone Cold Yesterday"from "One S imple Word." In 1990 the most recent release "One Simple Word" was recorded with a different mixture of sounds that was not heard in the previous three releases. Other members participated in differ­ ent parts of the making of the "One Simple Word" LP. Lead vocalist Doug MacMillan wrote "Another Souvenir", and Mike Connell sings "Waiting My Turn." In the past, George and Mike have been the main composers of the group, but as their experience increases, so does the talent. Saturday night. The Connells will play from all of their releases opposed to last year's "One S imple Word"concert which focused mainly on the new LP. Their next album will be out in mid-1992. Those attending the concert on the 19th may even hear new releases. "Tending to Virginia" plot is set in North Carolina By LISA LAUGHLIN Appalachian Staff Writer 'Tending to Virginia"by Jill McCorkle has all the ingredients necessary to cap­ ture theessenceofasmall town home. As each character is introduced, the feeling of being at a family reunion pervades. The story is set in Saxapaw and opens with Virginia, pregnant and dissatisfied with her marriage. She recalls her former freedom-filled life at college. Burdened and depressed, she leaves her husband and tries to return home to her grand­ mother. She finds that home now exists within herself, and the new life she and Mark helped create. Cindy is like a sister to Virginia. She was daddy's girl to her mentally unstable father. Her frank and direct way of ad­ dressing her relatives and her self-seeking attitude toward life reminds everyone of someone they know. Eventually we ap­ plaud Cindy for coming to terms with past grievances and apparently making amends. Hannah, Virginia's mother, and her cousin Madge also held tight bonds with one another. Everything changes when Madge confesses to her aid in her husband's suicide. Hannah and Madge's aunt Lena is pres­ ently in a rest home. Lena refers to it as a type of school which makes sense only in her cluttered mind. She longs for her de­ ceased husband Roy, who left her alone in the world. Unable to have children, Lena thrives on the memory that she was on Broadway once. Although her dreams of being an actress never fade, she gave up her budding career to become Roy's wife. She lovedhim deeply and doesnot ever let anyone forget it. Lena's sister Emily is just as mixed up as she is. Emily lives in a duplex and boycotts the Piggly-Wiggly which now stands where her farmhouse once stood. In addition to hearing imaginary banjos on her porch, Emily also missses her husband James. She wishes for the past when she remembers James reading Brer Rabbit stories to her granddaughter Vir­ ginia, making it up as he went along. begging her to never tell his secret that he could not read. Throughout the book, Emily and Lena recall their sister-in-law Tessy and the hard life she endured. They explain to Tessy's daughter Madge that Tessy sim­ ply married too early, had too many chil­ dren and lived too long with a man she did not truly love. Madge regrets having been too distant from this woman she never knew and tries to leant all she can from her aunts. See TENDING page 6 �The Appalachian. Thursday. October 17.1991 Continued from page 5 in that area.The cotton swab death seems awkward and isn't really filmed well, while another guy is wasted by a video game. Let the good times roll. Also, don't be fooled by the television ads that say this is in 3-D. Only the last part of the film is in 3-D and all it does is give you a big headache that you'll have to try and shake on the way home. Stop for some aspirin before the movie. The previous five movies had noted special effects man Wes Craven and di­ rector Renny Harlin doing some camera work. This was not the case in this film, and that may haveaccounted for the rather lame effects. Some new teen actors in the picture include Lisa Zane who plays Maggie, and Lezl ie Deaneportraying Tracy. These kids are predictably killed and I wouldn't look for them in too many other projects in the near future. The plot is sloppy, the acting is really bad and through most of the picture I just "as even made. had to ask myself • Then again, this is a college town and I suppose most kids in college get into death and destruction by a monster with razor blades for fingers. The picture will no doubt do well at the box office because of dumb people like me who will want to go see it.

How does it feel to be illiterate? PLUS Project Literacy U.S. Continued from page 5 These three generations of women are riot represented without men. Males do not play huge roles in "Tending to Vir­ ginia," yet they are strong characters who are the backbone of the women's lives. Because this book is mainly about women does not mean men cannot enjoy and leam from it also. For centuries books have been written by men, for men, and about men. McCorkle's book is a delight­ ful exception. The only disadvantage to this book is that it skips from past to present quite often. It gives the sense that you are in the mind of seven different people at once, who all take turns observing the present and remembering earlier days.

Campbell added. "We knew coming in they were a good team. They 're just a team looking for a break." ETSU Head Coach Don Riley was pleased with the Bucs' effort but was still disappointed with the outcome of the game. "You can never say a loss is positive," Riley explained. "The effort and amount of adversity that they (the Bucs) over­ came are the positives. I thought we had a valiant, magnificent effort." ASU was paced by a dominant rushing attack that outgained the Buccaneers 28341. Freshman tailback Chip Hooks chalked up 193 of those yards on 25 carries, while junior fullback J.K Reaves picked up a bruising 71 yards on 11 attempts. Reaves piled up 40 yards on the Moun­ taineers go-ahead drive in the fourth quar­ ter. Whereas Hooks had gained his yard­ age by dashing outside the ETSU defense, Reaves bullied his way up the middle for the bulk of his output. "We knew we could move the ball," Reaves explained. "When they stopped us, it was because one or two of our guys didn't execute. We just had to come through and execute the plays." After Reaves, Hooks and NateAbraham had driven ASU to the Buccaneer 7-yard line, Campbell rolled right and found wide receiver Anthony Smith in the end zone to put the Apps on top, 19-14. Moore gambled and went for the twopoint conversion, which the Mountain­ eers converted. A heavily pressured Campbell lofted up a desperation heave that somehow landed in the hands of A1 Ellis, giving ASU a21-14 advantage with six minutes to play. The Mountaineers had a chance to ice the game with a minute-and-a-half re­ maining but Jay Millson's 28-yard field goal attempt sailed wide to the left, giving the Bucs a glimmer of hope. ETSU quarterback Mark Williams, who threw for 288 yards on the day, looked downfield for Robert Robinson, but App cornerback Steve Wilks stepped in and picked off the toss at the ASU 43, sealing the victory for the Mountaineers.

It was an even match at halftime with the score knotted at 0-0. In the sec­ ond half, the Mountaineers struck first with a goal from win Scott Griffith. But ASU could not sustain it s 1-0 lead for long. With 20 minutes left in the game, Davidson tied it up, and then five minutes later scored and took the lead. Appalachian was denied for the rest of the game and lost 2-1. After ASU's goal, the Wildcats put a lot of pressure on the ball. "Davidson was a real fiesty team; they 'Davidson fiesty put a lot of pressure on us. We played hard, but not hard enough," said Moun­ taineer defender Keith Ellis. In the second game of the toumey, against Alabama A&M, the Mountain­ eers looked better, but still could not put the ball in the goal. Alabama A&M led10 at the half and went on to win the contest 2-0. Once again, it was a case of missed opportunities for the Mountaineers, as ASU still had plenty of chances to score. Alabama A&M showed great ball con­ trol, but did not apply near as much prespres­ sure as the Wildcats did. Appalachian Head Coach Art Rex still blames ASU's continual scoring problems on inexperi­ ence. "We're getting better results, but this is still a young inexperienced team. We just need to start capitalizing," Rex ex­ plained. One problem over the weekend for the Mountaineers was injuries. Appalachian was only able to suit up 18 players for the tournament. "We just have a lot of nagging injuries right now," Ellis remarked. A couple of the players that were active on Saturday were not on Sunday. This definitely held back the Mountain­ eers. Rex feels his team may be "getting over the hump." the Mountaineers' past five games have been very close, including three overtime matches. Rex is looking forward to a five game homestand that begins this Saturday. ASU's overall record now stands at 29, but the Mountaineers are 2-1 in the Southern Conference. "We've really won the games we've needed to win, so we're still on solid ground in the conference," Rex said. The Mountaineers return to action this Saturday, when they play host to nonleague for Liberty in Kidd Brewer Sta­ dium. Match time is set for 2 p.m. The Apps will then entertain Belmont Abbey on Oct. 22. ASU collides with Paladins Mountaineers look to defend top spot in league at Furman By WILL ROTHSCHILD Assistant Sports Editor In agame that w ill go far in determining who wins the Southern Conference cham­ pionship, the5-2 Appalachian State Moun­ taineers, winners of three straight, and the 5-1 Furman Paladins, ranked ninth in the nation, square off this Saturday in Greenville, SC. ASU enters the contest with an unblemished 4-0 mark in league play and all alone atop the South­ ern Conference stand­ ings. The Mountaineers, ranked number 16 in the latest Divisionl-AApoll, can partly thank Marshall for their sole grip on first place in the SC. The Thundering Herd, who dropped a 9-3 decision to the Apps in the season-opener for both teams, beat Furman 38-35 last Saturday in Greenville. The loss dropped the Paladins into a tie for second place in the conference with a 2-1 league slate.

October 17.1991 S i: Ladies drop two Around the Southern Conference Marshall edges second-ranked Paladi^ From Staff Reports Furman dropped its first home confer­ ence game since 1987 and fell into second place in the Southern Conference with a 38-35 loss to the Marshall Thundering Herd last Saturday in Greenville, S.C. Dewey Klein nailed a 39-yard field goal with under a minute left in the game to spoil a splendid Paladin comeback and give Marshallits first victory at Furman in 13 tries. The loss also dropped Furman from the number-two ranking in Division I-AA to number nine, while vaulting the Herd to eighth in the nation.Marshall improved to 1-1 in Southern Conference play and 4-1 overall, while dropping the Paladins to 21 in the conference and 5-1 overall. Appitcnmn Knoto by Debbw Mc Mullen SETTING THE STAGE: ASU's Joanne Myers sets up a shot for teammate Deanna Keen (15) during the Mountaineers match with UNC Greensboro last Tuesday in Varsity Gym. The Lady Mountaineers dropped a tough four-game match to the Lady Spartans 15-12,17-16,11-15 and 15-11. Keen paced the Lady Apps with 18 kills, while Myers led the squad with 62 setting assists. Appala­ chian got back on the winning track last Thursday by defeating Winthrop College for the third time this season. The Lady Apps routed Winthrop in three games 15-11,15-8 and 15-4. Keen and Kim Nelson slammed 12 kills apiecefor the Lady Apps, while Myers registered 40 of the team's 41 setting assists. Last Saturday, the Lady Mountaineers played host to Southern Conference rival Marshall, falling in four games, 12-15, 15-5, 15-13 and 15-10. Keen smashed 23 kills in the Marshall contest, while Myers contributed 48 setting assists and nine digs. The Lady Apps return to action tomorrow when they travel to face conference foe Furman. The Thundering Herd was led by Michael Payton's four touchdown passes, the first two of which staked Marshall to a 14-0 lead four minutes into the game. The second score was set up by a Furman fumble at its own 7 yard line on the first Paladin possession of the game. After Marshall took a 21-7 lead, Furman quarterback Hugh Swilling started the comeback by leading his team down the field and tossing a 12-yard touchdown pass to Paul Siffri. Swilling, who was 14 of 23 passing for 192 yards andone interception on the day, ran four yards for a score and threw a 13yard pass for another touchdown to tie the score at 28-28 with over 12minutes left in the third quarter. After Payton threw his fourth touch­ down of the day and junior tailback OJ. Davis ran 26 yards for the Paladins fifth score, Payton drove the Herd 43 yards to put Klein in position for his game-wmning kick. . . , „ . Davis filled in for an injured Carl Tremble for Furman. Tremble was the third-leading rusher in the Southern Con­ ference prior to the Marshall game and was picked as the preseason Offen­ sive Player of the Year by the league's head coaches. Tremble is expected to play this Satucrday against Appalachian State. Kickoff coverage burned Furman all day. Marshall's Troy Brown returned a second-quarter kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown to put the Herd up 28-14 at halftime.

AW, Boone, N.C.,28608 ap.v.U in "The Appalachian- are those of individual columnists and not Lately I've fallen prey to those two great occupational hazards: pondering and musing. 1 : \m ' * " ' What I have been pondering this time, though, is a bit scary: Is America playing God? It started with a cartoon one of my students has hung on her door. The cartoon portrays America as Santa Claus, with various children representing various Eastern Euro­ pean nations, sitting on Santa's lap and asking, "Democ­ racy?" Santa says yes to several of them, but when it comes around to the Soviet Union's turn, Santa must say no—he's all out of democracy. It is a fairly accurate assessment of what has been going on, or at least it seems to be. Here in America we tend to think of democracy as if we invented it. Of course, we didn't. The Greeks invented the word, meaning "rule of the people," but when the Greeks were around, "people" In the month of September, three assaults and one possible assault were meant land-owning men, and did not include women or juried to Appalachian State University Police. Appalachian is not the safe servants. In America we are somewhat more liberal. We J-JJUS everyone would love for it to be; however, steps can be taken to deter consider women and slaves to be equal. Of course, someone else probably had the idea before (hactsof violence in the coming months. the Greeks did, even if they didn't call it the same thing.

You must take ®tions. You must be aware that incidents have occurred in the past and tocur again at any time. These days, we Americans own the word. We also own (or think we do) the responsibility for distribution and maintenance of democracy worldwide. Now, this is the part that bothers me. If it were simply a case of thinking we owned an idea, that would not be too bad. There is not much you can do with just an idea; the worst we could do would be to sue, say, France for thinking they ought to have democracy. That, of course, is not viable—notice how little we have to do with the French these days. But thinking we own the responsibility for the idea has lead to some fairly amazing things. Wars come to mind. So do embargoes. Military aid and weapons sales are not completely out of mind. There are also some good things that have come out of this notion of responsibility—mainly things such as food and medical aid—but these are more humanitarian, and thus given out with far less discrimination than the mili­ tary stuff. In fact, none of this has been really bad, although it can be argued that the war stuff is a bit more harmful. It must be admitted, nonetheless, that America'has, for all its strengths, done far less damage worldwide than any other nation approaching its size and power. Then we come to the question of the Gulf War. Again, considering what atrocities have been commit­ ted by various nations in world history—Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia, for example, and we cannot forget Imperial England and Rome at the turn of the millen­ nium—the Gulf War was, admittedly,pretty clean as wars go. What bothers me are the terms in which we—our leaders as well as our people—talk about the incident. Saddam Hussein was the Anti-Christ. It was a morally right thing to do. We were committed to action by the responsibility we owe to the democratic nations of the world. Then think back to the invasion of Panama. Manuel Noriega was an "evil" man, therefore it was morally right to go in and take him. Then think of all the turmoil in Eastern Europe. They all wanted autonomy, they all wanted capitalist (or in some cases socialist) democracy, and it was to the "Great Father," the United States, that they looked for guidance and encouragement. I use the phrase "Great Father" here in a qualified sense. The nations of Eastern Europe looked to us (if at all) only because we seem to be the only folks in recent history to have gotten this democracy thing to semi-work (the Canadians notwithstanding). The phrase is more accu­ rately applicable to the way we (Americans) have tended to think of ourselves. We all rejoiced the end of the Cold War as we would the baptism of sinners, the great coming to light of the pagan hordes. America: the Pride is Back. Indeed. Pride in that the Great American Way is now coming into its own, to be recognized and practiced and enforced worldwide. The possible arguments here are too many to go into fully: that we are being authoritarian, patriarchal, ideo­ logically overbearing...what have you. I am not necessar­ ily interested in these arguments at the moment. What interests me is this: if we are playing God, are we any good at it? With Noriega gone, the war on drugs continues to escalate, and the estimated importation of illegal drugs in our country has skyrocketed. Saddam Hussein is still in* power, and we just may have to spend the next decade delivering threats on a monthly basis just to keep him in line. Eastern Europe has seen more bloodshed in the last couple of years than it has seen in the last four decades. Certainly we've done better than we did with Vietnam, or Korea for that matter, but have we really been successful at playing God? We play a good game, America, but we finally must ask ourselves whether or not we really be­ lieve that we hold the Trump Card. And'Christ said, "Blessed are the Meek, for they shall inherit the Earth." Indeed. Speedy cyclers cause pedestrian problems Concerned student asks that overzealous bicyclists watch where they are going lex ir Tft By SHANNON HICKERSON Appalachian Staff Writer There are three things that can shock you in your lifetime: the first time you have sex, theloss of a close friend, and the recklessness of bicycle riders. It wasn't, of course, until I came to Appalachian that I became aware of the third shock.It happened when I wasgoing to math class one bright, sunny day. As I recollect, I was crossing that big parking lot next to the College of Business build­ ing, minding my own business, when all of a sudden this gush of wind practically knocked me down. I had no idea what was going on. I mean, I've heard of horren- , , - Mf » r u \ N - A-* P T L dous snow storms, and I even heard that the place between Dougherty Library and the brick wall should be avoided during harsh wind, but I was in neither of these situations so I couldn't understand what was going on. Well, after catching my breath, I looked back and all I saw was someone on a tenspeed bicycle pedalling up a dirt hill. I couldn't believe what had happened, and I didn't know that it was going to become an everyday occurrence. This was some­ thing that everyone left out when they told me about the good and bad things to expect from Appalachian State Univer­ sity. I don't think the riders know how rude it is for them to act as inconsiderate of others as they do. There is enough for a student to worry about when going to class without having to worry about whether or not he or she will be hit by a bike rider. The bicyclists should consider this. How hard is it to ride a bike at a slower speed, stay on the flat surfaces instead of going down the steps, or even somehow makepeople aware you're com­ ing behind them and are about to run them over? There is definitely a difference between common courtesy and the trained minds of bicycle riders. If you don't know the difference, common courtesy is saying "excuse me"and looking out for the wellbeing of other people. The minds of bike riders are vicious and hardened. I believe that somewhere between the time the rid­ ers purchase the bike and the time they get the bikeon campus, an unconscious change begins. The cyclists decide to run students over instead of carefully passing by.They sneak up from the back and glide by, allowing the victim to feel a nice cool gush of wind, when the riders once might have tried to make their presence known so the p>edestrian could have a chance to move out of the way. Some bike riders have even been known to ride in between two people instead of sensibly going around. Bicycle riders have their rights to be on campus just as walkers do, and therefore should follow common courtesy guide­ lines to avoid confrontations. Students act hostile Club antagonized To the Editor: 60 bY Tr bune Media Services World Vegetarian Day, Oct 1, has come and gone. People for Animal Liberation, the animal rights group on campus, placed flyers around campus and a banner outside the Student Union. We also manned an information booth in/outside the Student Union during the day in an attempt to reach other students with vegetarian alternatives and issues. In our attempt to do so someone(s) added to our banner a few unintelligent comments. Our banner said "friends don't let friends eat animals." They added papers saying things like "let all the cows go," "let the deer run loose in our cities," and to "smoke dope, drop acid, stop bathing, and eat fruits and vegetables and become skinny, stinky, malnourished granolas." These, along with other signs showed not only their ignorance but it also stereotyped all vegetarians. The reason for the signs and booth was to educate the students. This is one of the main functions of our group. We are not attempting to convert anyone, rather we want people to make choices and be assessable without ridicule or obstacle. I would never tell someone it is wrong to eat meat. I would tell them it is wrong for me to eat meat. And I expect and demand the same courtesy from others. As for the person(s) who left anonymous messages at the student union, why didn't you voice your opinion to us in person? We can accept different opinions. But be warned, many of us have done more than just skim the issues. We know our positions on vegetarianism (they are all different), and we know the facts. Some of what you wrote is blatantly uninformed. None of God's rules include eating meat. If you would like to know more about what you are condemning or would like to confront me openly, please feel free to do so. I am not in the least bit timid. If you feel strongly about meat eating, I encourage you to form your own group and spread the word about your own position. Neither PAL nor I would feel any threat from you, as we feel none now. Our concerns are not confronta­ tional, as yours seem to be. Rather, we would like to turn our efforts toward progressive goals of knowledge and assessability. Our sign(s) may nave offended you, but that was part of the point. In a college environment we should all think about what offends us and more importantly, why. If you never confront ideas that are not your own, you will never grow, and that is what life is all about. We did not want to stir up anger. Hate is too easy to come by and too hard to surpass for us to make it one of our goals. We only want people to become more informed, and if you still hate us, then so be it. We do not search for your acceptance, only that we can coexist and try to open our collective minds to other ways of thought. Anonymous confrontation and hate are not ways to achieve this. Don't hate us because we are not meat and potatoes men and women. Don't stereotype us, or anyone else. Most of all, don't make uninformed decisions on anything. It only shows your ignorance, that you are too cowardly to stand up for anything you believe in, and are too milk-minded to consider anything valid that deviates the norm.

The facilities offer an $18 per night fee, a $5 linen fee and prime locations in both cities, Parker said. Rates for guests of Appalachian students, staff and faculty are $25 per night. The Washington townhouse is located behind the Library of Congress Apex and is a few minutes from Capitol Hill. The Loft in New York is located in So ho and overlooks the Hudson River and the loft can house a maximum of 12 people. The townhouse can hold up to 18.

The Appalachian house is a four story townhouse, typical of many in D.C.Again, visits do not have to be class related. Each'facility is managed by a different resident director each semester. In the past the resident directors have been members of Appalachian's faculty. Due to budget cuts, this year the directors will be retired faculty and alumni. Parker expressed hopes that next year there will be money to allow faculty to return. Parker saidone of the strongest usersof both the loft and the townhouse is sociol­ ogy professor, Dr. Larry Keeter.

By TRACY WILLIARD Assistant News Editor Appalachian Photo by Nicole Ouinn MINORITY RECRUITMENT EFFORTS INCREASED: ASU student Robert Crawfod is one of the 4.5 percent minority students who attends Appalachian. Since 1982, efforts have been made to increase the amount of African-American students on campus. Appalachian offers many scholarships geared toward African-American students in an effort to increase black enrollment. Many of these scholarships are based on merit and academics. According to Wil­ liams, ASU also offers some scholar­ ships for black students that are based on need. "ASU does receive a certain amount of money from the North Carolina General Assembly for the minority scholarship program. This money is used to recruit gifted and talented minorities," Williams said. "When the state uses the term minor­ ity, theyspecifically meanAfrican-Ameri­ cans. The reason for this is because Afri­ can-Americans make up the biggest ma­ jority of minorities in the state." Another thing Appalachian does to re­ cruit black students is to try to get them to visit the campus. "We feel that if the students will come to visit ASU, then Appalachian will sell itself," Williams said.

On the math section, males scored an average of 530 compared with 498 for females. Watts said that these scores do not nec­ essarily reflect a bias against women. ASU's freshman class has more females than males by a margin of 123. Watts also explained that more females are admitted to 1991 verbal scores for U.S. college-bound seniors ASU because their high school dropped two points from last year. Math scores dropped as well.

New Minority Continued from page 1 gram which in turn has resulted in 85 ASU graduates working as city or county man­ agers. The MPA program was based on the Political Science Department's Town Administrator, City/County Manager pro- gram.This program was started because of the growing expectation that town and county managers hold graduate degrees. Many town managers in the High Coun­ try area were trained in the TACCM pro­ gram, and many of the finalists in the choosing of a new Boone manager were graduates of ASU.

Cameron said theCollege Board is con­ cerned about an apparent paradox—"We are seeing more years of study in academ­ ics and in collegeprep courses and still the average scores are going down." Much of thedrop comes from the higher percentage of minorities taking the test— this year 28 percent of test-takers were minorities. Of that 28 percent, eight per­ cent reported that English was their sec­ ond language and another eight percent reported they were bilingual. "As more of our society is being in­ cluded in the test, the more likely you are to see scores decline," Cameron said. That greater inclusion and the SAT's inability to reflect different cultures in its test question content has helped spark the exam's rewrite. "There's always been some suspicion about the way the test questions are writ­ ten," Smith said. "The College Board now has established a review board for minor­ ity education that looks at items for bias against women and ethnic groups." That board has existed for many years and the content of questions has slowly Continued from page According to Willie FlemiT rector of African-American stfjA chian.

Problems changed to reflect morecultural diversity, Cameron said. The new test will not only show more changes in content, but also changes in form. In its first format change since 1975, the test will abandon its antonym, or op­ posite word, questions for beefed-upreading sections that will put more emphasis on higher-order reading skills, Cameron said. He calls it critical reading. In the math section, the primary change will involve the addition of asection where students generate their own answers to problems rather than picking an answer from the traditional multiple choice for­ mat. While College Board officials are working on the changes, they stand by their claim that the SAT, the primary test used in 22 East and West Coast states for college entrance, is an ac­ curate re flection of a student's academic ability. "The bottom line is that the College Board has always said their test scores are extremely accurate, but what we find is that admissions offices look at academic records first," Smith said.

Those in favor of irradiation say the small amounts are completely safe. Another important thing for consumers to know is thatnone of the foods treated by irradiation become radioactive. If having foodexposed to 10,000or more x-rays concerns you, then thefollowing information about the process of food irradiation is important. Jy BEN ARMSTRONG Appalachian Staff Writer When starting college, one is faced with two jptions The first and easiest option, not to nentionthe biggest copout, is to go home every end and let Mommy wash your clothes, save Daddy spoil you and luv on your high school sweetheart. The second and more swarding option is to stay in Boone on the weekends and make new friends. These friendships are cultivated throughout one's asdergrad years and usually become life-long idarioiiships. First, I will start with the issue of going nome every confounded weekend. Why? Why jo students go home every weekend? I just don't understand it. My freshman year I came jp herefrom Mandeville, La., so it was rather difficult to travel the 1500 mile round trip •very weekend. I, personally, had no desire to go hone. I was ready, or so I thought, to play the role of an "independent college kid." THE APPALACHIAN TUESDAY, October 8,1991 Food irradiation is a process approved by the Food and Drug Administration in which food is exposed to radiation in order to destroy harmful organisms and extend shelf life. The amountof radiation approved for use in this process varies and is measured by radiated ab­ sorbed dose units or "rad" for short. An x-ray exposes you to one rad. It takes 10,000 to 50,000 rads to kill insects, 100,000 to control trichinae in pork and 1 million to kill bacteria and molds. One concern of the process is the loss of nutri­ ents. At lowest levels of irradiation, tests do not show any damages to nutrients. According to the FDA, nutritional losses do occur at higher doses. However, these losses are not greater than the nutrients lost during canning or freezing of food. One risk in using irradiation is the creation of free radicals in the food which can trigger cancer. If* Vg/ RADURA waxed produce and rarely comply with those or­ ders. Although the FDA requires directly irradiated foods to be labeled by supermarkets, there have been no laws passed concerning restaurant or pack­ aged foods. Consumers will not know if the pre- Labelling Requirements In April of 1990, the FDA indefinitely extended the requirement that radiation-exposed food be labelled with both a "radura" and a written warning that the food has been treated with radiation. No label of any Kind is required for prepared or packaged foods, or for foods prepared in restaurants, schools or institutions which contain irradiated ingredients. In April of 1990, the FDA extended require­ ments that radiation exposed foods must be labeled with a warning and have a "radura" symbol. Re­ sponsibility for labeling has been given to super­ markets. Many feel this is a waste of time because supermarkets are also supposed to label pared foods they eat at restaurants or the packaged food they buy contain ingredients, like spices, that have been irradiated. Many say food irradiation is better for use be­ cause herbicides and pesticides can leave harmful residues in food. Most likely you have not eaten Alcohol Awareness Week promotes sobriety By HEATHER TRUDGEON Appalachian Staff Writer The week of Oct. 13 through the 19th is National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week. This week is designed to benefit college students who may be dealing with pressures to abuse drugs or alcohol. The Substance Abuse Education Center is a re­ source which is always available to students. A number of classes, groups and seminars are held throughout the academic term. Outreach Services, such as Appalachian Drug Abuse Prevention Team peer education, are di­ rected in a personable manner through programs presented to residence halls, classes, clubs and other organizations. The Greeks Advocating Ma­ ture Management of Alcohol club is another peer education support program. Both of these organi­ zations will play an active part in the week's activities. The Abuse Education Center also offers person to personconsultation. This is especially important in answering students' questions or concerns about themselves or loved ones. I cannot lie about the fact that I was home­ sick. After the first week of my freshman year, I was ready and more than willing to pack my bags and transfer to Auburn. The majority of my friends from home attend school there, and I associated it with a continuance of high school. I was wrong. All of my friends roomed together and eventually became so sick of each other that here wis a public lynching. Their hallmates were tired of hearing their bickering so they adnapped all of the Mandeville boys and took rtem to the gallows. ( 1 do realize home has many benefits to offer.

Although the process is approved, there are cheaper ways to control insects and bacteria. Environmental and occupational risks are prob­ ably more important aspects than the health issues. According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, "Irradiation requires more transport of radioactive materials on busy roadways, puts more workers at risk of exposure to low-level radiation and adds to the hazardous waste disposal prob­ lem." Audrey Austin is just one of many people con­ cerned about the long-term effects of irradiation on our health. She has written congressmen with her concerns and urges others to do the same. "The only way the need will be addressed would be if there is a public outcry," Austin said. The issue of the safety of food irradiation still lies in the laboratories. Research is very expensive and manyclaim that is why the FDA does notknow of the long term health hazards. Meanwhile the FDA has approved the use of this process.

Alco­ hol Awareness Week is an important part of this process. The week will begin with a poster cam­ paign in all residence halls.

STOKES Appalachian Staff Writer The 11th annual North Carolina Honors Asso­ ciation was held Friday, Sept. 27 at Appalachian State University in the Broyhill Inn and Confer­ ence Center. The theme of the conference was called: "Mak­ ing the Transition: From High School to College Honors." However, the program was broken into six different seminars: 1) "Instruction for Excel­ lence in the NorthCarolina PublicSchool System," 2) "Making Freshmen Special: Helping New Hon­ ors S tudents Adjust to Campus," 3)"Special courses and Programs for Freshmen Honors Students at Two North Carolina Universities," 4) "Using the Myer-Briggs Type Indicators," 5) 'Tracking AP Students in Freshmen Honors English at East Caro­ lina University," 6) "A Model Honors Student Council at Western Carolina University." ASU's honors program is coordinatec by. Dr. Donald Saunders, a professor in the history depart­ ment. The program, started on our campus in 1980, is one of the first of its kind in the state. It is also considered to be one of the best, if not the best, by professors from other schools that attended the conference. The honors program gives qualified students certain privileges. Living arrangements are one of the privileges offered at ASU. Coffee Hall was remodeled in 1980 for ASU's honors students. It is a level above other residence halls in terms of scholarly atmosphere and space. Coffee also in­ cludes a computer lab and a unique basement lobby where classes are sometimes held to insure a more relaxed feeling for the students. "This program will help elevate ASU's reputation by attracting the 'cream of the crop,' " said Saunders. Carmen Scoggins, a sophomore majoring in Spanish education, is one out of nearly 350 people in the program. 'To be considered for the honors program at ASU, one must be in the top 10 percent of the incoming freshmen class and score a mini­ mum of 1100 on the SAT," Scoggins said. Each year ASU offers the privilege of being part of the honors program to about 200 incoming freshmen.

The Paladins improved to 5-0 overall and 2-0 in the Southern Conference with the victory. The loss dropped VMI to 3-2 overall and 1-2 in the league. The Keydets held a 14-3 advantage in the first quarter, but Head Coach Jim Shuck gambled on a fourth and 1 from the VMI 27. The Keydets misfired on the play, and the momentum of the game shifted. Furman scored on six straight posses­ sions after the VMI miscue. Swilling con­ nected on TD tosses with Paul Siffri, Freddie Bums, Donald Lipscomband two to David Bradley. The Keydets pulled to within 36-22 at the end of the third quarter when Chris Meacham scored on a 1 -yard touchdown run.

The Appalachian State women's cross country squad captured first place last Saturday in a tri-meet with Wake Forest and Navy, while the men's squad fell short against Wake in a head-to-head race on the Deacon's home course. Women's Action Senior Leigh Wallace paced the Lady Mountaineers, finishing second overall, with a time of 17:58.54 on the5,000 meter course as the Lady Apps totaled 39 points to win the meet, followed by Wake (41) and Navy (46). "This was a big win for Appalachian. Both Navy and Wake are pretty reputable teams, although neither of them are cur­ rently ranked, Navy was fourth in the nation in the Division II bracket and Wake has had many top finishers in na­ tional meets in the past. We ran very well and I am pleased with our perfor­ mance," ASU Head Coach John Weaver said. Senior Dee Anna Davis finished sec­ ond for the Lady Apps and seventh overall followed by sophomore Nicole Disher placing eighth overall with times of 18:33.55 and 18:35.45 respectively.

ETSU is !-4 overall and enters this Saturday's contest winless in conference play at 0-2. The Mountaineers are led by a pass defense that ranks first in the Southern Conference and has held its last two oppo­ nents to 15 completions in 43 attempts for ascant 147 yards, no touchdowns and four interceptions. Senior free safety Gary Dandridge leads the Mountaineer second­ ary, averaging 7.6 tackles a game. Dandridge has intercepted one pass this season and broken up another. Comerback Mark Mayo and lineback­ ers Rico Mack and Brent David have ac­ counted for the other three Mountaineer interceptions this season, and comerback Steve Wilks knocked away three Wake Forest passes last week. All of that should make life tough for the Buccaneers this Saturday, whose lead­ ing rusher Derrick Hollins has gained a mere 289 yards in five games. The passhappy Bucs have attempted 165 passes this season, completing 77 while throwing 10 interceptions and six touchdowns. Seniors Mark Williams and Randy Meredith have platooned this season at quarterback for Buccaneer Head Coach Don Riley, who is 0-3 lifetime against Appalachian State. Sophomore Scott Dykes is ETSU's leading receiver, with 18 completions for 395 yards and two touchdowns on the year. Defensively, the Buccaneers are led by sophomore free safety Maurice Kelly. Kelly leads the Southern Conference in tackles with 71 and recorded 20 tackles against the Gamecocks.

"Be­ fore that, we just weren" t mov ing the ball consistently. Then our offensive line got into it, and that drive gave us confidence for the rest of the game."

Wake Forest Head Coach Bill Dooley optedto go for the first down rather than kick the field goal, and West again mis- fired, overthrowing tight end John Henry Mills in the end zone. "Going for it was Coach Dooley'sdeci­ sion, but obviously it was a huge play for us," Moore stated. The Deacons got the ball back three more times but could muster only 16 total yards while being forced to pass against the stingy ASU secondary, before Mack's heroics sealed the game. "Appalachian definitely came out fired up tonight and they did an outstanding job tonight," a dissapointed Dooley declared. "Their punter, (Harold) Alexander, kicked very well, their quarterback, (D.J.) Campbell, executed well enough to get the job done, and they really hung in there on defense. Before we knew it, we were put in the position of catching up, which is a hard game for us to play." In a game that strongly resembled his freshman performance against the Dea­ cons, Alexander pinned Wake Forest deep in their own territory,consistently allnight. The demon Deacons were forced to start possessions at their own 14, 11 and four yard lines after Alexander punts and never began a possession beyond their own 40 after an ASU kick. "We are just not executing like we should on offense," Dooley remarked. "Defensively, if we let a kicker like Alexander move the ball out on us like that, then you come up looking at a lot of grass."

High-risk use of alcohol and other substances is also a factor in injuries and deaths related to accidents, fires, and crimes."

Jack, possibly inspired by Janet, wants to get married, but Vicky said a firm "no." She is too scared, she says. Finally, shesaid, "Why don't we just live together?" Jack's response was, "But we can't just LIVE together." "Why not?" was the next question. Finally, someone— I don' t remember who—told Jack,"I f you love each o ther, what difference does it make as long as you're together?" This attitude has gotten to be pretty common the past several years. Statistics are showing more and more Today is election day in the Town of Boone.

And if fn treat them like sons, they'll turn out to he even if if s just in your own eyes. —Walter Schirra, Sr. Anyone you live with is going to get on your nerves sometimes—let's face it. And it's hard to live with some­ one you're very close to. Marriage, however,gives couples a reason to stick together through hardships and to try to work out any problems they have. When you've pledged yourself to another person, for better or for worse, and that person does something to make you mad, you have more reason to go to him or her and say, "I love you—let's try and work this out." When you're mad at someone who is not your spouse, you're more likely—not always, but more likely—to spend time thinking about how mad the person made you. This is not to say that unmarried couples can't work out their problems, or that married couples always can. Get­ ting married and then not being able to work out problems is a fear that many people have, and a major reason that couples give for living together instead of getting married. However, the point is that in a live-in arrange­ ment, the incentive to work through problems is not as high. Some people may say, "I want to make sure I can live with so-and-so before I marry him or her." I find this very hard to argue with because it has so many valid points in its favor. Yes, there are bad habits a person may have that his or her partner won't find out about before actually living with him or her. Not living together before marriage does mean the couple won't learn these things about each other before going to the altar. However, living together and discovering little things about each other's lifestyles before signing any papers, does not necessarily make a difference on whether or not a marriage will last. Knowing about each other's quirks before going to thealtar does not necessarily mean you are less likely to get on each other's nerves. And waiting until after you are married to find out that your spouse say, forgets to turn off the coffee pot before leaving in the mornings, does not mean you will no longer want to be married. Living together outside marriage also may pose certain legal problems. For example, a woman named "Mary" lived with her boyfriend "John" for 13 years before John was injured in a car accident. Mary went to see John in intensive care only to find she was not allowed in his room. "Family members only," were the hospital's strict orders. John died and didn't leave a will. Because they were not married, Mary was completely eliminated from his estate, although she was closer to him than anyone. Had they been married, she would have been left every­ thing of his. Statistics show that married arrangements are more likely to last. The average live-in situation lasts less than five years. Even among marriages that eventually end in divorce, the average lasts at least five years. The reason is that marriage involves a total commitment, not just a sharing of expenses. Not to say that live-in couples are not committed. Of course they are; otherwise they wouldn't live together. But married couples are committed in writing under the law. There's a difference. Another common argument in favor of living together is, "Love doesn't need a piece of paper." No, love doesn' t. But sharing your life and yourself with another person does. And living together, sharing household expenses and everyday problems while trying to support each other and hold a relationship together at the same time, involves a commitment that goes beyond love. It involves the kind of commitment a couple makes at the altar—to love and to cherish, for better or for worse. Living together with­ out this kind of total commitment means something is missing. Tests before break cause great annoyances Student must rival marathon speeds in order to leave hall before closing time By BRIAN WINKLER Appalachian Staff Writer One hour. When fall break rolls around, that is all the time I have to retrieve my car from off-campus, pack it full of goodies and leave campus for home. Fall break officially starts on Oct. 9, at 6 p.m. At 6 p.m., all classes will be over, all offices and help centers will be closed and all residence halls will shut their doors. Most students, of course, will leave after their last class, with not a care in the world. On the other hand, when 6 p.m. rolls around, I'm going to be too jumpy to even drive down the mountain. Why? Because I live on campus and I have an exam scheduled from 4 to 5 p.m. that day. Add to that the fact I can't park my car on campus until after that class, which in turn means I can'fpSck any of my difPy dlbthes up until after'that class. Altogether, it's going to make for one hecticday. Why is it that my vacations always cause meso much grief? What sort of university permits exams just one hour prior to the time when they boot the students out? I have to attend my last class at 4 p.m. to take my test until 5 p.m. (assuming it doesn't take more than the allotted time). Then I have to retrieve my car from off-campus. The bus doesn't go out to my car except at 38 minutes after the hour. After the 15-minute drive back, that already leaves me with only seven minutes to pack up and go home. But of course I will have to take some time to verify everything I want to take is in the car and everything I don't want to take isn't in my car. And let's not forget that I have to call home to Mom and Dad before I leave to tell them I am on my way. Then they can set the little alarm that goes off if I am too late coming home. (When it goes off, they know to start calling up all the hospitals to find out if I was killed or maimed in a horrendous accident.) Altogether, that is a terrible amount of stuff to do in one hour. Somewhere, some­ one is probably in a worse situation than me—with an exam from 5 to 6 p.m. When this person finishes with that exam, he or she already won't have a place to stay. I can't really understand why the univer­ sity even holds classes so near to the time the residence halls close. A much more viable solution would be to cancel all classes at noon and keep the residence halls open until 5 p.m. That way, all stu­ dents would be assured thatthey had ample time to go to all of their classes, fetch and pack their respective vehicles and of course, finish all of their exams without having to worry about what to do when it is over. At the very least, the university could cancel classes three hours before the residence halls close to give a person ample time to get packed and go. Until this happens, however, I must be content to run up and down the stairs for speed practice. I figure all I really have to do is make seven trips up and down the stairs, lock and unlock theroom door only once (sacrificing safety for speed), call home for two minutes to tell them I'm on my way and pack the car for another three minutes. Let's see, that means I only have to run up and down those three flights of stairs in an average of 4.2 seconds each way. Right now I time myself at 17.8 seconds per trip, but I think with a week's more practice, I'll be able to make it just fine. Professors advised ASU student gives lessons on relating To the Editor; Recently I heard a radio report on WUNC-FM (Chapel Hill) that the state auditor's office is investigating whether professors throughout North Carolina's public university system are doing enough work. I am concerned because there is already a hiring freeze on instructors, making it even tougher on those already employed to teach. There are some things that teachers can do to make their relationship better with students, however. Sometimes, just sometimes, I think they forget these important things. First, education should be the main goal of teaching or researching. Encourage the students to think, to go further, to create something with their talents and with the information obtained in class. Secondly, no student should ever be demeaned, put down, or have his or her integrity challenged when called upon in class. I have seen this happen and it distresses me to no end. Whatever the student knows should be applauded by the instructor. If the student does not understand what is being asked, prompt the student to express what she/he does understand, thank the person for sharing his or her ideas with the class, and then help and assist the student use what is known to what is not yet understood. Thirdly, show neither favoritism nor hostility to any student or students in class. Be helpful to all students. Treat all of us equally. Fourthly, please keep your office hours. And finally, be a model student and teacher yourself. Tell us what you have recently learned about the topic you are teaching. Admit what you do not know. Apologize in class when you make a mistake. One person at the University of North Carolina that was interviewed in the radio story said that it is not uncommon during financially hard times for those engaged in intellectual work at public expense to be questioned as to whether their work really serves the public. We at the university know that the answer is yes. I feel that incorporating my suggestions into the teaching methodol­ ogy of campus instructors will make learning fun, exciting and rewarding for both teacher and student—as well as help the campus instructional staff earn greater support and respect.

' ?.,on of alcohol on public property, 111 jjth includes some of the parking lots spectators have tailgated before trite Forest games in the past. Violators of the new law will be arsied and subject to a fine, said Wake «st Associate Athletic Director of fa­ lls and operations Larry Gallo. According to a press release from the (ike Forest University Athletic DepartoH"there has been a growing concern - enter, [he welfare of all our football patrons. o prior ^forma- Lit incidents both inside and outside HGroves Stadium have caused us to be prohibited on public property concerned about serious injuries occur­ ring." The policy lists some of the school's fans' conduct that occurs during the home games that have caused a need for the policy. Before and during games, the report states that students dive headfirst from one row to another in the stands, tiny liquor bottles are thrown between student sections and people jump from trailer to trailer (area in which 3 trailers are perma­ nently parked) in the public parking area. The report continues, "students tailgating and consuming an excessive amount of alcohol in the parking lot area have led to abusive language being used by Wake Forest students toward the public, Winston-Salem Police and Wake Forest Ath­ letic Department Staff." However, tailgating will be allowed in certain private parking areas, including the Groves stadium lot and Ernie Shore field, said Gallo. "We don't want to discourage tailgat­ ing, we want to encourage it and the responsible use of alcohol," Gallo said. WFU has issued a policy of appropriate conduct during the football game and be­ fore which is: •Tailgating is permissible prior to and for a very brief period after football games. •No one will be allowed to remain in the parking lot areas and tailgate after the game has started. (Tailgaters will be asked to leave 10 minutes before kickoff). •The parking lot area will be patrolled by police and security personnel for the convenience and safety of all our fans. •No alcohol, food or drinks will be alllowed to be brought into Groves Sta­ dium. •Legal and responsible use of alcohol is expected from all our football patrons while tailgating. See TAILGATERS page 2 Appalachian Photo by Debbie McMullen TAILGATERS BEWARE: At a recent ballgame, Yosef Club members and students were allowed to consume alcohol at their tailgate before the ASU vs. University of Tennessee at Chattanooga home football game. However, in public lots in Winston Salem, the same actions could send students and fans to jail due to an ordinance passed by Winston Salem.

On Tuesday, Oct. 8, Boone will hold its Town Council Election. There are six candidates seeking three vacancies. Those running are Saul Chase, Louise Miller, Diana Perry, Jimmy Smith, Bob Snead and Tim Wilson. The candidates were given the opportunity to entertain ques­ tions and share their views at Appalachian State's Student Senate meeting and the Watauga County League of Women Vot­ ers' "Meet the Candidates Forum" held on Tuesday night. Saul Chase served on the Boone Town Council from 1985 to 1989. During his terms, he said his main concentrations lay in the environment. At the SGA meeting.Chase stressed his contributions to Boone'srecycling efforts including the curbside recycling program. One thing he said he hopes to accomplish in the future is expanding the curbside recycling program to more apartment com­ plexes. He added that he would like to see students directly involved with the CableTV, and Minimal Housing commit­ tees and also the Thoroughfare Task force. Chase said he opposes expanding Hardin Street to five lanes because he feels it is unnecessary and is not in the best interest of Boone. Chase said he is an avid supporter of liquor by the drink, reasoning that it would generate revenue that could be effectively used in Boone. When asked how relations between Boone and ASU could be improved, he suggested that more communication and coordination between the organizations would improve matters. His campaign motto is "We Can Do It Together"—which not only applies to Boone and its residents, but also Boone and ASU. Louise Miller said she has had a great deal of experience Working with the To wn Council in years past, serving with the Planning Commission, Recycling Task Force (which helped implement curbside recycling), Zoning Board of Adjustments and Minimum Housing Appeals Board. She has been a teacher in WataugaCounty for 10 years. Miller said her interests lie in the plan­ ning and growth of Boone. She said she would like to revise the Comprehensive Plan and include students as representa­ tives. She said she believes that efficient planning for the future is imperative. If elected, she said she hopes to concen­ trate on transportation problems within Boone, such as congestion. Miller said she would like to see a bypass further to the south that would divert traffic rather than make it worse. She said liquor by the drink should be put to a referendum so the town itself can make the decision. Diana Perry, ASU graduate and a 17yearbusinessowner, isrunning for acouncil seal but was not present at SGA or the League of Women Voters meeting. Perry is a member of the board of ad­ justments, Boone Chamber of Tourism and Development Committee, the Execu­ tive Club, Boone Professional Women's Club, and the Boone and Blowing Rock Hotel/Motel Association. She is also the owner of Highland Hills Motel and Fun 'N' Wheels go carts. Perry does not see any issues in the election, saying that "I feel like the town is financially sound." As far as a liquor by the drink referen­ dum, Perry said she would vote against a referendum. "I think relations with ASU and the Boone community are on the upswing," Perry said. Jimmy Smith is an incumbent seeking re-election. He is a 23-year ASU faculty member and iscurrently a professor in the mathematics department. During his term, he said the crime rate decreased, fire safety improved, lecreSee CANDIDATES page 2 ^ents organization objects to controversial university videotapes ) T' & I*> J^nts opposed to the propaganda in schools claim tapes promote homosexuality, abortion and drug use L!»ouhlTreSp°nsiblefor2Live H cm i as started another antitiity 0fS WC ^ I- r9 .Aline time a8ainst t^le lsconsin kf)a°mpS°n' head and a Miami of the Coral ^dTmSchT °PP°Sed l° bch°ols, claims that ? «iforma, Nty r-. 0" '"Pe* distributed by the kw°teh0m0se^a^'.drug ferida l ""d do not comply Nfc^cenity statute. "We've had our own opinions rendered by a legal staff and they tell us we are not out of compliance with the law, said George McKinney, associate executive director of The Switchboard of Miami, the non-profit crisis prevention service that uses the tapes for its teen hotline. "This man is after one tape—the re­ cording on homosexuality—because he s highly homophobic," McKinney said. "What can you do about that? It s a matter of personal opinion." The tapes,distributed by the University of Wisconsin at Madison, are part of a service the school's University Outreach program offers. The 875 tapes provide information about topics that range from health care and diagnosis to social issues such as homosexuality, abortion, drug abuse and masturbation. Each tape plays for three to five minutes, and the subjects are determined by the people who request them. The tapes are distributed national­ ly under the name Health-Line in more than 25 states to about 70 health and social service organizations, secondary school systems and colleges and uni­ versities. "The tapes are developed and written by our faculty and staff and are periodi­ cally reviewed by faculty and staff for revisions," said program director Ann Whi taker. Thompson, unavailable for comment, earlier told the Associated Press that the tapes "mentally molest minors...behind parents' backs." The University of VV isconsin's response to Thompson's threat of a suit was short: "We are cooperating with the Florida Bar (Association's) investigation and are not commenting any further onit," said Chuck Stathas, general counsel for the Univer­ sity of Wisconsin System. McKinney said over 600,000 teenage: have used the tapes via the hotline sine the hotline emerged in January 1990. "(Thompson) is distorting this i make it sound like we are promoting smi on the telephone,"McKinney said. "Wh we are promoting is responsible beha ior."

He also voted in favor of the thoroughfare. Smith stated he has in the past and will continue to evaluate decisions by asking himself "Will this make Boone a better place to live?" He had no view to express on the liquor by the drink issue, but did express opposi­ tion to rezoning residential neighborhoods. He said such actions would increase traf­ fic and would not benefit the Boone area. Although he cited university/city con­ flict on issues such as congestion on Riv­ ers Street, Smith believes the relationship between ASU and Boone is a very good one and communication is the key. Bob Snead has been a member of the ASU faculty since 1966 and holds the positions of Associate Professor of Cur­ riculum and Executive Assistant to the Chancellor. He said he is an active mem­ ber in both the university and civic com­ munities. Snead has previously served on the Chamber of Commerce Transportation Committee and favors the widening of Hardin Street.Traffic/transportation con­ cerns and preserving the integrity of the community are some of his focuses. If elected, Snead said he would listen, seek solutions, make informed decisions and serve the best interests of Boone to the best of his ability. He aims to "preserve that which we have already created and look to the future." He feels ASU has a very good relation­ ship with Boone, which is based on coop­ eration and dialogue.In the future, he said he would sustain and work to strengthen that relationship. When asked about the liquor issue, Snead said he favored the referendum. From a personal standpoint, Snead sup­ ports the legalization reasoning that more people become intoxicated from a gallon of hard liquor than would from a mixed drink.

The experience is t„ the interpretation of poetry, exhat you are able to see, hear and feel thing firsthand. Watching the move- ments and expressions of the dancers and listening to the mood of the music, one tries to piece together the exact theme or meaning. Of course, dance can always be appreciated simply for itsgrace and beauty of rhythmic motion. The Wall St. Dance Works ensemble presented seven modem dance pieces. On the surface the performance was excep­ tional. J. Moore Bannister, Julie Becton, Jan Dever, Melinda Halford, Constance Humphries and Connie Schrader are the six women who make up the company. Each of them exhibited his ability to cap­ tivate an audience with soothing grace, then to stir excitement throughout the auditorium in just a matter of seconds. With colorful costumes and music rang­ ing from J.S. Bach to Sly and the Family Stone, the evening proved to be a success. Looking deeper into each performance was as rewarding as watching from the surface. Every piece was an enactment of emotion and an outlet of expression.

Dead Again" gives more life to movie scene in Boone [KOMAN KIRKMAN ' pfehian Staff Writer [Alfred Hitchcock were alive today, mild frantically applaud the latest rtofactor/director Kenneth Branaugh. i, of course, is quite high praise, tockmay be the best ever at making pie jump, until now. le film Hitchcock would be so giddy lis "Dead Again," a romantic thriller rhich Branaugh plays two characters, his teal life wife, Emma Thompson, s another two. The movie sets you up in the beginning, then throws a winning punch-line in the final 30 minutes. It goes from black and whiteto color, quick paced to furious and great to spectacular. Branaugh portrays private detective M ike Church, a swinging single whomeets up with a disturbed young woman, Thomp­ son. At the request of a priest Church is indebted to, he takes the mystery girl in and befriends her. He gets much more than he bargained for from the moment she walks through his apartment door. It seems this woman can't speak a word and doesn't remember a thing about her­ self. All she does know is that she has repeating nightmares. Church comes to Margaret Strauss and Church was, you the rescue. He places an ad in the paper to guessed it, Roman! Now the question is, find her relatives. What he finds instead is will history repeat itself? Will Mike kill the mystery girl? Only time and a ticket to a salesman who dabbles in hypnosis. The hypnotist convinces Church he can the movie will tell. This ticket is well worth its price. While get to the bottom of the story and puts the young girl in a trance. Here's where it each character goes through twists and really gets good. The girl is dreaming turns, the entire audience rides a roller about two people who died over 40 years coaster along with them. The scenes in­ ago, Roman and Margaret Strauss. The volving Roman and Margaret are shown way they died is also a zinger. Roman in black and white, while present day killed Margaret and then was sent to the shots tum to color. This creates a great effect and really gets you into the picture. electric chair. Confused? It gets better. A stunning musical score also adds to The hypnotist convinces the young woman that in a previous life she was the excitement and flair of the film. Ev­ eryone in the theater jumps at the same time as a result of great music and of course, terrific acting and directing. The last 30 minutes of "Dead Again" are icing on thecake. This half-hour stands alone as some of the best film-making in quite some time. A riveting climax leaves the audience stunned and sitting through the credits in aneffort tocatch their breath. Kenneth Branaughalso directed"Henry the Fifth" and did a very good job with it. However, "Dead Again" has got to be considered a masterpiece. Some films live on and survive the test of time. These are few and far between. It takes a special picture to be consid­ ered trulygreat andI believe"Dead Again" deserves thisstatus. Its original and unique­ ness alonescores it an "A." In a time when the movie industry is seeing many sequels and big bucks-type films, it is great to see a picture with real substance that is also extremely entertaining. With Andy Garcia and Robin Williams playing strong supporting roles, this mov ie is a must see. It's exciting and mysterious. Alfred Hitchcock would certainly be proud to see it if he were still around. Then again, he might be a little jealous. "Crack of Dawn" celebrates southern Appalachian life RRACHAEL BUCKNER mlachian Staff Writer _ Tke Department of Theatre and Dance \«ntinues its season with "Listening for nlCtackof Dawn," tonight through Sat- m 01 listening for theCrack of Da wn" is an Mpl stage adaptation of tales about [jpittg up in Appalachia. file Department of Theatre and Dance "From My Grandmother's Grand­ ma ier, Unto Me"earlier in theyear.This ^ ®'so concentrated on the Appala­ chian Mountains and the people who live here. The performances will be held in the I.G. Greer Arena Theatre. "My personal plan was to leam to read first thing the first day (of school). After that, they could teach me anything they wanted to..." wrote Donald Davis, a pro­ fessional storyteller in his book "Listen­ ing for the Crack of Dawn." Department of Theatre and Dance fac­ ulty member Dr. Linda Welden has taken Davis' collection of stories and created a performance of literature piece under the same name, "Listening for the Crack of Dawn." Davis, a native of North Carolina, tells and writes first person stories about grow­ ing up in thesouthern Appalachian Moun­ tains during the 1950s and 1960s. The stories are about everyday life: family, relationships, going to school, dances and crazy neighbors. "My hope is that these stories are about events so ordinary that each reader has, even if living in a totally different world, 'been there'," Davis said. The stories Welden selected to include in the performance piece, five in all, cen­ ter on the narrator's relationship with a neighborhood girl, who appears through­ out the book. We see both characters, along with many others, at differentstages in their lives. Welden stated she would have liked to adapt them all. "The play would have lasted five weeks," Welden said. Deciding on these five stories was difficult, but Welden said, "The stories just sort of told me what to do." The cast is an ensemble, and each actor gets to take on a number of different characters. In each story, the narrator is played by two different actors, who repre­ sent the storyteller and his young self. The cast includes: Christina Anderson, Tim Barker, Jim Fussell, Jason Gilbert, Bill Griffin, Chet Longley, Marc McKinney, Matt McNaney, Craig Payst, Maria Smith, Sarah Thomas and Lisa Weber. Dr. Frank Mohler is the lighting and scenic designer for the show and Martha A. Marking is the costume designer. Carol Barlow is the stage manager. Tickets for the show are on sale now at the Theatre and Dance box office located in room 131 Chapell Wilson Hall. Reser­ vations are recommended due to limited seating. For reservations or more infor­ mation, call the box office at 262-3028. Other performances by the Department of Theatre and Dance this year include "Tartuffe" and "Playboy of the Western World." "Tartuffe" by Moliere, a 17ih century French comedy satirizing man's hypoc­ risy, exposes the antics of a con-man who cleverly poses as a holy man in order to swindle his benefactor out of his entire j estate. "Tartuffe" will come to campus in November. "Playboy of the Western World" was written by J.M. Synge. Synge's comic masterpiece satirizes hero worship, its effects and its fickleness. The poetic Irish language also contains the earthiness of the Irish peasants who act out the story. "Playboy of the Western World" will be presented in March. When music really mattered A.P.P.S. sponsors weekend festival dedicated to the sixties By WILLIAM PURCELL Appalachian Diversions Editor The decade of the '60s was one of the most interesting periods in American his­ tory. Through all of the good and bad times, it was the music that brought people together and sometimes tore people apart. The '60s were a period when the music really mattered. A.P.P.S. celebrates the sixties this week­ end with a '60s rock festival. All divisions of A.P.P.S., Stage Shows, Films, Special Events ana Club Shows will contribute to the festival.

Special Events council will bring Barry Drake to campus with his Mulii-Mediapresentalionof"'60s Rock— When the Music Mattered." The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, The Supremes, The Beach Boys, Simon and Garfunkel, The Rolling Stones, Otis Redding and the Monkees were the sounds filling the airwaves throughout those tur­ bulent years of the '60s. "'60s Rock—When the Music Mat­ tered" will celebrate, examine, clarify and put into perspective one of the most excit­ ing 10 years of our music history. Barry Drake has often been called a walking encyclopedia of music. A gradu­ ate of Manhattan College, he has been involved in the world of music since buy­ ing his first Rock 'n' Roll record in 1954. Growing upin the New York City area, Drake went everywhere there was music to be heard. He saw everyone from Buddy Holly and Chuck at The Brooklyn Para­ mount in 1957, to Jimi Hendrix and Janis JoplinatThe Fillmore in 1967. When San Francisco exploded with the "Summer of Love" in 1967, Drake was there hanging out on the streets with The Grateful Dead and The Jefferson Airplane.

In addition to the keyboards on Lhe new tracks, horns, drum machines and vocal effects are also added, all of which were not on "Appetite for Destruction." If you were expecting to hear the raw, in-your-face music Guns N Roses fans expect, you are sure to be disappointed with these two albums. "Use Your Illusion 1," features 16 tracks. "Right Next Door to Hell was written about Axl Rose s next door neigh­ bor who caused him quite a bit of trouble, including some time in jail. Dust N Bones" features rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin on vocals and has a Rolling Stones feel to it. "Live and Let Die is a cover of a song by Paul McCartney s old band, Wings. "Bad Obsession" is a song that sounds great live but is a little overpro­ duced on the album. "DoubleTalkin' Jive" is a tune characterized by a groove created by the rhythm section and some great vocal tracks. "November Rain" is a song I have been waiting four years to hear on an album, and it turned out beautifully. The song is just under nine minutes long, and while listening to the introduction.you won't believe it is Guns N' Roses. The song featuresbass guitar, electric guitar, drums, piano, a keyboard orchestra, a synthesizer program and a cast of eight background vocalists. One would not expect all of this from this band, but the song is a highlight of the album. "The Garden" features Alice Cooper and Rose on vocals. The part Cooper sings is definitely fit for his voice. The lyrics describe a fantasy land of sin, and the music fits with an eerie lone on gui­ tars. "Garden of Eden" has some sound effects atypical of Guns N' Roses . Sound effects are something I never expected to hear on their album along with the synthe­ sized sound effects. Another song advocates free speech. This is an effort more along the lines of Guns N' Roses musically and lyrically. "Bad Apples"is a high strung, jumpy tune followed by a song that is depressing. HPilB—MBCTIIIUMI ..UU -)> ,tk.olAI "Dead Horse" is a pitiful effort lyrically. The song is negative, and just appears to be a moaning cry on life when you don't get your way. One of the best efforts on the album is a 10-minute masterpiece by Slash on lead guitar . The song has no chorus, yet you are still into the whole song from beginning to end . It's loo bad the band couldn't produce more works like "Coma." "U se Your Illusion 2"conlains 12 tracks minus the two previously released songs. Some of the few highlights of the second album arc "Yesterdays," "Locomotive," "So Fine" and "Estranged." "Yester­ days" is a good rock'n'roll effort that features some acoustic and electric guiwm juMMMBjgwf —mm— tars wi thgreat lyrics." Locomoiiv e" would be a great song if there weren't so many vocal over-dubs. There are parts of the song in which Rose's voice is in three different tones singing simulta­ neously. "So Fine" was written by Duff McKagan, the group's bassist, and is dedi­ cated to the late Johnny Thunders. The lengthy ballad is something these two albums definitely do not lack. "Estranged" is just under 10 minutes. S lash andStradlin combine for some beau­ tiful guitar work on this track. This is another effort that lacks a true chorus. See GUNS page 4 �i The Appalachian. Thursday. Ortnher3. 1991 Continued from page 3 fairly familiar with the story of Daisy Werthan and her chauffeur, Hoke Colebum. Barbara Humphrey Barker played a convincing Miss Daisy, an elderly Jewish woman with a strong will and a mind of her own. Barker's experience in the the­ ater was evident throughout her perfor­ mance. Her speech, expression and physical motions were clear, natural and simply fun to watch. Daisy Werthan cap­ tured the audience with her occasional sarcasm and her frequent bluntness of character. Michael Oberfield played Boolie Werthan, Daisy's son. Caught between wanting to care for his mother and her will to survive on her own, Boolie was in quite a predicament. Just like Daisy, he pos­ sessed a strong will and took care of things his way: he hired a chauffeur. His por­ trayal of Boolie was a balanced display of impatience, affection, exasperation and a business-like nature all in one. Curtis C. won the approval of the audi­ ence as Hoke Colebum, the chauffeur. Despite Daisy's initial contempt for his position, Hoke was as quick to smile as he was to tell a friendly story. Curtis C. gave an exceptional performance. His accent and stage presence were simply delight­ ful. All in all, the production was a great success. From the cozy sitting room of the Werthan House, to Boolie's office and the car that started it all, the story unfolded at a comfortable pace. In the end, the cast received a standing ovation, which each of them deserved. The Performing Arts Series will offer many more opportunities to experience quality entertainment. For instance, Oct. 8, the Triad Piano Trio will be giving a concert in Rosen Concert Hall, located in the Broyhill Music Center. The group features pianist Rebecca O'Conner who received her doctoral de­ gree in piano at Indiana University. She has been given various honors for her talent and was one of the founding members of theCanterbury Chamber Play­ ers, allowing O'Conner to perform throughout England as well as the United States. Judith Cox is featured on violin. She received her music degree from Indiana University as well and has participated in several music festivals. At the age of 15 she joined the Dayton Philharmonic Or­ chestra and has since played for groups such as the Cleveland Ballet and Opera Orchestra. The trio is completed by Majorie Hanna on cello. With a masters degree in music from Indiana University and exceptional ability, she was principle cellist in the St. LouisSymphony Youth Orchestra. Hanna has also played in groups such as the Lockerbie String Quartet. All three musicians have had plenty of experience in performing but have just recently come together to form the Triad Piano Trio. The concert promises to be a pleasant one, so take advantage of what is so easily available and enjoy an evening of Have a newsworthy idea? Call 262-3104 and be a news source for Music Continued from page 3 In the mid-'60s Drake became a per­ former and songwriter and in 1970 was signed to Capitol Records. Since then, Drake has recorded three albums and has toured the United States and Europe. Not content to be just a performer, Drake has successfully started his own record company, booking agency and management Firm. He is also a respected collector and dealer of rare records. Most recently, Drake has been nomi­ nated for The National Association of Campus Activities Lecturer of the Year. Combining his extensive knowledge of music and his abilities as a dynamic stage performer, Drake has succeeded in mak­ ing his Rock Lectures among the best and most inspiring in the business. After the presentation on Friday, there will be a band sponsored by A.P.P.S. Club shows. The band Animal Crackers will play classic rock. Both events will take place in The Pub. Both theMulti-Mediapresentation and Animal Crackers will be free. The political turmoil, the social up­ heaval, the Hippie Movement, the Viet­ nam War and the Generation Gap were all reflected in the popular music of the day.

TIRED OF THE WALK? WE HAVE THE ANSWER... Candidate Boone Town S Council Guns As for the rest of the second album, well, it is nothing special. "Pretty Tied Up" sounds like it should have been writ­ ten by Poison with a catchy chorus with obvious sexual content. MTV and any radio station that plays any kind of rock has played "You Could Be Mine" more than any other song Guns N' Roses has had, with the exception of "Sweet Child O' Mine." "My World" is a Tap song, yes a rap song, all done by Rose and Johann Langlie, who does all of the special effects on the albums. The rest of the band does not appear on this track. It is a very poor effort at being a rap star by Rose. "Get In the Ring," lashes out on the media who is accused of spreading lies about the band. It challenges three writers to a Fight and calls each of them every name imaginable. One of the victims of this lashing out has agreed to confront Rose but has received no reply from the instigator. Incidently, Vince Neil has also replied to a formal fist-fight challenge from Rose, and again the instigator has made no reply. It's time to shut up or put up. Another recent issue in the camp deals with Stradlin: he is threatening to quit the band while the band has already specu­ lated picking up the guitarist from Jane's Addiction.

CRAVER jpalachiaii Staff Writer For tie seventh consecutive year, the iiotheis of tie Sigma Nu. fraternity H//run the ASU vs. Wake-Fbrest game from Boone to Winston-Salem to se money for the American Cancer ciety. SigmaNumembers will begin their 96 trek down U.S. 421 towards Wake rest tomorrow morning at 7 a.m. Each the 65 brothers and 17 pledges, in dition to several alumni members, will a turn running the ball for nearly two s each. On game day, several mem­ bers of Sigma Nu will run the ball into Groves Stadium and present it to the game officials prior to kickoff at 6 p.m. "All of the brothers really come to­ gether whenever we run the ball to Wake . Fo/e^t. Whenever I talked to the people, from the American Cancer Society and' learned about all of the types of cancer and the research being done daily to find treat­ ments, I really got going. It is amazing what they are doing for the fight against cancer and we hope to help them with the money we raise in any way possible," project chairman Sam Greene said. For the third consecutive year, Gover­ nor James Martin has proclaimed the day of the run as "Sigma Nu Game Ball Day" in North Carolina. Governor Martin has commended the brothers of Sigma Nu for their fight against cancer. This year's goal is to raise S7000 for the American Cancer Society, a goal that Greene believes is within the fraternity's Ircach. "We have already collected S4000 and that puts us only S1000 from raising more than last year's run (which raised S5000). We have contributions in from 30 percent of the brothers, and we still have several of our corporate sponsorships to collect. I am very confident that we will meet our goal," Greene said. Every year around February, Sigma Nu begins planning the Game Ball Run. After determining a goal for the year, the project chairman figures out the amount of money each brother must raise to meet the goal. Through corporate sponsorships and other miscellaneous donations, Sigma Nu is able to raise adesignated amountof money for the Cancer Society, who in turrr pro­ vides t-shirts for all competitors. The tradition was established in 1985 when the Sigma Nu National Headquar­ ters was looking for a local service project for the Kappa Epsilon chapter at AS U. All of the other chapters in the area already had their philanthropies, except for the Kappa Epsilon chapter, and the fraternity just sort of "stumbled into it," according Club sports in midst of season jjontinue play Appalachian Staff Reports The intramural flag football regular season comes to an end this week, as only co-rec teams will be in action next week.

Ifattending game, plan for congestion If people ever needed to plan ahead, those attending Saturday's Appala­ chian vs. Wake Forest football game have plenty of reasons to do so. Winston-Salem, the game's site, will be a flux of activity this weekend. In addition tothe football contest, which historically draws over25,000 fans, the Dixie Classic Fair isscheduled forthis weekend and the Professional Golfers' Association Senior Tour is in Winston for the Vantage Championship. | The three major events will hinder traffic to and from the game. Another .major event could impede those going to the game. North Wilkesboro is 'hosting the Apple Festival this Saturday, with an estimated 150,000 people lexpected. Most enter North Wilkesboro via U.S. 421, so traffic along the highway will be slowed. Those going to Winston from Boone must travel on t21 and will pass directly through Wilkes County. The Vantage could also hinder traffic along U.S. 421 and Interstate 40 'entering Winston, as the championship is held at Tanglewood Park. The -airgTOundsare adjacent to Groves Stadium, the gamesite, so traffic around j stadium area will be heavily congested also. Parking presents a problem, as fans must share the normally empty public Vats viih the fairgoers. The Wake Forest Athletic Office plans to close the tfUrtntsSMk Lot until 3:30 p.m. on Saturday. Thus, those attending the eandplanning to tailgate should arrive as close to 3:30 as possible for a parkingspot. Fans are charged $3 to park in the public lots, which include Ernie Shore Field Lot and the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Colium Lot. In addition to the parking problems presented by the numerous activities, new town ordinance could present other problems. The ordinance prohibits Icohcl consumption on public property, thus eliminating alcohol intake while tailgating at the public parking lots. According to athletic officials at Wake Forest, the Winston-Salem Police Department will patrol the public kxs. Citations could be issued to anyone in violation of the ordinance. The responsible use of alcohol is permitted at the Groves lot, said Larry illo,ihe associate athletic director in charge of facilities and operations at ake. Students, alumni and other fans planning to tailgate and consume id should be aware of the new ordinance and should only consume idic beverages in the Groves lot. Gallo said patrolmen will also monitor Groves lot and maintain order. Therefore, if you are underage, do not ik. Citations will be issued to underage drinkers. Last year's attendance at the Wake-Appalachian game totaled 28,732. ith that many people converging in one stadium along with thousands of hers converging on the city for other events, much planning is needed. Plan to arrive early. If you plan to attend, carpool with a group of friends, e fewer cars the better. Wake Forest students have been encouraged to do I®1 by walking to the game from campus or carpooling from offnPus- Appalachian students should also do what they can. Plan ahead. Keep the new alcohol ordinance in mind if you plan to drink. Drinking will be allowed in the public lots, so don't plan to tailgate in the Emie Shore ;ld lot or the coliseum lot. r Residence hall has advantages TREYHORACK Photography Editor TRACY TARLETON CANDAE SMITH THURSDAY, October 3, 1991 NOELLE WILCOX Ad Production Manager AMANDA NELSON SHEAGiiIFFIN Sports Editor COMMENTARY By TRACY TARLETON Appalachian Commentary Editor The first year of college is always a shock, especially for those who enter right after graduating from high school, coming straight from the comforts of home. Suddenly Mom doesn't come in to get you up for class after you turn off your alarm in your sleep;in fact, nobody really cares if you go to class at all. Nobody does your laundry foryou anymore. Nobody's around to watch how you eat. You can eat your three square meals a day including all the correct portions of the four basic food groups, or you can live off Dorito's, Little Debbie cakes and Dr. Pepper—the only one you'll have to answer to is yourself. Many entering freshmen have to adjust to the fact that the rest of the year they're going to be living in a shoebox of a room with someone they've never seen before in their lives. Someone who, they may soon find out, talks in his or her sleep, uses the strongest-smelling nail polish remover or cologne that exists or likes to talk on the phone while standing on his or her head in the comer of a closet. Yes, the adjustment from home life to dorm life often comes as a major shock to new college students. New freshmen arc required to stay in a residence hall unless they are married or living with their parents. The purpose of this requirement is to ease the transition from home life to college life. The residence hall provides an environ­ ment in which thestudent has some of the responsibilities of being on one'sown but is not overburdened with these responsibilities immediately. Being in my third year at ASU, most of the initial shocks of college life are now rout te. I still live in a residence hall. I've been asked by a few other juniors why I chose dorm life again when so many others have given it up and gotten apartments, either by choice or by virtue of the fact that their names were on the bottom of the residence life waiting list. Apartments definitely have their advantages. However, residence halls have some advantages that can't be outdone by off-campus life. A residence hall room at ASU costsS60C per semester. For this you get a furnished room, which includes two beds, two desks, two dressers, at least one mirror, at least one closet and sometimes a sink. You also get heat, electricity, water, cable and phone service. The average apartment in Boone costs about $400 a month and most often does not include utilities and almost never includes cable or telephone. Repairs are made in residence hall rooms at no charge and with little or no hassle. An aspect of the residence hall which can be consid­ ered an advantage or a disadvantage is the rules. Rules bring protection to residents. A posted rule in every residence hall on campus states, "Please be prepared to show your student I.D. after midnight." The purpose of this rule is to keepunauthorized people (meaning anyone other than residents, their guests, university personnel, police or medical personnel) from entering the halls and possibly causing trouble for students living there. A resident assistant or in-hall security is on duty at night to check on these things. Apartments usually do not provide this kind of protection. Rules also attempt to produce an atmosphere condu­ cive to studying. The residence halls have quiet-hour rules stating residents must not make any noise disturb­ ing to other residents, particularly playing loud music, during certain hours of the evening and night. Courtesy hour rules slate that although quiet hours are not always in effect, residents should be courteous of each other 24 hours a day. Penalties for breaking the rules include appearance in student court after the fourth offense. After first, second and third offenses, the penalty is to be "written up," or logged in a book located in each residence hall office and intervention by the resident assistant, resident director and/or the area coordinator. Courtesy and quiet hour violations are minor viola­ tions. Major violations, such as keg parties, theft or repetitions of any minor violations, are automatically referred to student court. How many protections like this exist in apartments? One friend of mine told me that in the apartment above hers at 1 a.m. one Saturday, someone was playing music so loud that she could not hear her T.V. Had this hap­ pened in a residence hall with any kind of decent staff, the problem would have been solved immediately. However, my friend was forced to call the police. In an apartment, unless the landlord is strict, the police are the only ones who can eliminate disturbance problems, and often they cannot get to the problem immediately. I'm not saying residence halls are quiet. In fact, resi­ dence halls, some in particular, are generally not good atmospheres for studying—the library is much better. However, in most cases, nuisances are more likely to be eliminated in residence halls than in apartments. Another aspect of residence life is visitation policies. Residence life offers two lifestyle options—B and C. Boption limits room visitation hours for guests of the opposite sex. Those living on C-option halls may have guests of the opposite sex in their rooms 24 hours a day. However, no cohabitation is allowed in any residence hall. This I found a little confusing as far as the C-option rule goes—members of the opposite sex may be in the room 24 hours a day, but they can't spend the night. I lived on a C-option hall last year, and I felt silly the first time I explained to my boyfriend, "You can stay in here all night if you want to, but you can't fall asleep." See RESIDENCE page 8 Morality of death penalty questioned Congressional proposal calls for another look into reasoning behind punishment \ ny TRACY TARLETON Appalachian Commentary Editor Last June, Sen. Alfonse D'Amato, RN.Y., proposed legislation to Congress that would make any murder in the United States committed by a firearm punishable by death. This law would overturn any gubernatorial veto on the death penalty in any state and would mean about 10,000 executions per year in the United States. The Senate approved this legislation with a vote of 65-35. However, Chief Justice William Rehnquistof the Supreme Court is urging Congress to not make this proposal national law. He said the bill would "provide federal jurisdiction over offenses traditionally reserved for state prosecution." Rehnquist is afraid federal courts would be swamped with cases generally handled in state courts. Nearly 12,000 murders by guns occur in the United States every year. D' Amato's proposal would, in all likelihood, reduce this number by mandating that anyone who kills with a gun will die. The reduc­ tion in murder statistics would be an ad­ vantage. However, the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages. The question in Rehnquist's mind is, " criminal in jail for life, and we certainly don't want a murderer out on the streets who should handle murder cases, federal again. Citizens do pay millions of tax courts or statecourts? However, the ques­ tion in my mind goes a little further—do dollars each year toward the upkeep of we have a right to enact the death penalty prisons and prisoners. However, the ap­ at all? peals process the government must go through in order to enact the death penalty Certainly legislation for something like the death penalty, since we have a death for a criminal is also costly. penalty and if we are going to continue to The appeals process also takes too have one, should be in the hands of the long.

God gave MEET. life and he is the only one who has the right to take it away. As far as doing justice, that is also his job, not ours. Any­ time we kill—by suicide, murder and the death penalty—we are interfering with the plans of God. There areno easy answers to the crime problem, particularly murder and other crimes bad enough to be considered pun­ ishable by death. Life sentences in jail are costly, and sometimescriminals will com­ mit crimes to get off the street and get into jail where they will be taken care of better than they are able to take care of them­ selves . Perhapssome other typeof tougher punishment and isolation from the com­ munity is the answer. But the death pen­ alty is not. Not only is it too costly and, judging by the high murder statistics, in­ effective, it is also morally wrong. By giving murderers "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth," we are not only com­ mitting the exact samecrime that got them on death row in the first place, but we are tampering with power that is not ours to touch. Rehnquist is trying to get Congress to defeat D'Amalo's proposal. Let'shopehe succeeds. Editor's note .TheCharlotte Observer contributed to this article. Course offerings low Stranger Than Truth by Dov Sherman Hospitality majors need more choices To the Editor: I noted in a recent Appalachian newspaper that recruiting is once again taking place on campus for ASU graduates. Particularly note worthy was that out of 44 recruiters there are no hospitality representatives. Once again the students in the hospitality program; if you call it that, are not being treated fairly reference their education. Typically a college offering a fouryear degree in the field of hospitality have not only numerous recruiters from the industry but the students generally have a choice from a number of job offers—not so at ASU. I have been saying for five-plus years that the program at ASU is not in anyway reflective of the industry needs, but unfortunately my feelings have not resulted in any changes. It appears that some administrators know the indus­ tries' needs, better than people in the business. As a comparison, I offer the follow­ ing hospitality degree requirements for other universities. These courses deal directly with hospitality i.e. hotel accounting, hotel purchasing, food and beverage management, etc. • Penn State: fourteen courses in hospitality • Auburn University: seventeen courses in hospitality • Florida State: thirteen cours-s in hospitality • Appalachian Stale: four courses in hospitality The other universities also have numerous elective courses in the field whereas ASU does not. ETT E R S page 8 �The Appalachian Thursday. Printer ? 700/ &lt Residence Continued from page 7 the visitation policies are not usually as strict. Also, when a guest of the opposite sex is visiting and needs to use the bath­ room, the resident does not have to worry about escorting the guest to the one opposite-sex-designated bathroom in the whole building. Coed halls offer more opportu­ nities for unattached people to meet mem­ bers of the opposite sex. Of course, this is accomplished on single-sex halls through mixers with single-sex halls of the oppo­ site sex. Another aspect of residence life is meal plans. Everyone who lives in a residence hallatASU is required to have a meal plan. This can be good or bad. The advantages of the meal plan are, one, you don't have to cook, unless you want to, in which case there are kitchen facilities located on ev­ ery floor of every residence hall. After a long day of classes, many people are too tired to cook, and it's easier just to go to one of the food service facilities and get a In any residence hall no matter what option, guests must be escorted to the resident's room, particularly guests of 4»e opposite sex. The purpose of this rule also gives hall residents an advantage over apartment residents. The escort policy provides protection from any un­ authorized visitors who may be enter:V^4i9g the hall to cause trouble. Apartments usually don't have this kind of protec­ tion. Residence halls may be either singlesex or coed. I have lived in both types and both have advantages. In single-sex halls, you don't have to worry as much about bumping into a member of the opposite sex, say, when you're coming out of the shower wearing nothing but a bathrobe or a towel. Also, if you like quiet, in my experience I've found single-sex halls to be quieter. Advantages of coed halls are hot meal. Also, people are more likely to eat a square meal if it is there already prepared for them. Compared to other colleges, ASU food is pretty good. The disadvantages of meal plans are that food can get very expensive, espe­ cially if you eat three meals a day. Meal plans are not intended to cover every single meal, and those with big appetites or even medium-sized appetitesoften find themselves low on money toward the end of the semester. Also, cafeteria food in general isoften fattening.It is hard to cook large batches of food and watch how many fattening elements go in at the same time. Also, french fries, hamburgers,pizza, fried chicken and desserts are always on dis­ play to tempt anyone with weaknesses for Letters To the Editor: I was glad to see The Appalachian call on students to support university athletics (Commentary, Sept. 19).

Intramural and club sports depend on student involvement. Club sports play other universities in popular sports like football, soccer, volleyball and rugby. Club sports also include both snow and water-skiing. Intramural sports play students against students. Not only is intramurals a great way to meet people, but you can also work off stress and get exercise. Intramurals play popular team sports such as flag football, soccer (indoor and outdoor), basketball, Softball and volleyball. Intramurals also play individual type sports like bowling, putt-putt, golf, pocket billiards, tennis and racquetball. And the list doesn't stop here. Students owe it to themselves to support the varsity and to get involved in intramurals. '•* j" Dr. Harvey Durham is well aware of these disparities but has chosen to do npthing in five plus years to provide ASU hospitality students with the knowledge necessary to compete in the field. No wonder there are no recruiters. As I have stated on numerous occasions, "If you can't provide a decent program—don't provide it at aH." The Faculty Senate might look at this program during its considerations. As to effective courses. 11 Apartments have their advantages— more space, fewer rules on how many appliances you can bring and no worries about closing during breaks—any apart­ ment resident could probably name a few more. But residence halls haveadvantages that equal or outnumber those of apart­ ments. Maybe someday I'll get an apart­ ment—when I'm richer, more tolerant of noise, have a car or get put at the bottom of the residence life waiting list, whichever comes first. But right now I prefer to live in the residence hall. Residence life means fewer bills, protection and promotion of an atmosphere conducive to studying.

Wake Forest University topped the list ,ihe Southern region for the fifth year, •ftir making this list of the best 15 (jug Southern regional institutions) is josiiive sign for Appalachian," Dr. Bill U associate vice chancellor for acabic affairs, said on Friday after receiv,in advance copy of the listing. However, he added that "rankings of this sort are not rock solid and not brain surgery. At best, they are vague approxi­ mations of quality." The magazine considers academic repu­ tation, student selectivity, faculty re­ sources, financial resources, student sat­ isfaction and student SAT/ACT scores to determine the rankings. "These rankings are important and are worth paying attention to because they are based on things we ought to be wanting to do anyway even if the "U.S. News" sur­ vey didn't exist," Ward said. Chancellor JohnThomas cited continu­ ing state's budget crisis as areason for the decline in the survey. Appalachian's fi­ nancial resources dropped from 61st when it was ranked 10th, to 81st. Ward said "this is one area that we just don't have any control over. I don't think that they ("U.S. News and World Re­ port") backed off in their formulas to allow for a recession." Ward said that the majority of the schools ranked in the same category as Appalachian are private schools, which would not be affected by the North Caro­ lina budget shortfall or similar budget problems which are affecting two-thirds of the states across the United States. "It's clear that the financial crisis will have a far more immediate impact on schools that rely on the state for at least half of their funding, but private institu­ tions will be hurt the most in the long run because of the effects on contributions," Ward said. In the category of financial resources per faculty, which is affected by state contributions. Ward said a substantial amount of money has been lost, affecting the amount of money spent per student by the university. A higher student acceptance rate, which Ward attributed to a lower number of unqualified students applying to Appala­ chian, had an effect on the ranking. "I guess that the word is getting out about ASU practicing selectivity among its acceptances," Ward said. "As a result, it looks as if we're easy to get into but in fact that's not the case." At the time of the survey, the average ASU student's SAT score was 955. That score has since increased to 971. "I suspect that the SATscores pulled us down," Ward said. "But next year, I look for the number of acceptances to go down and the average number of SAT scores to go up." ASU increased from 25th to 18th in the area of faculty resources. "We have dazzling numbers with the percentage of faculty with their doctorate degrees. This campus is full of PhDs," Ward said. ASU also relies more on full time pro­ fessorial staff than part time faculty to teach their students, Ward stated. "One way to establish ourselves as a highly professional institution is by the quality of our faculty. This, more than anything else, is the reason for Appalachian's rise to prominence," he said. A jump from 43rd to 36th occurred in the ranking of student satisfaction, meaSee ASU page 3 ";%v.

U.S.News * World Fsport. September 30. 1991 University has ample parking By TRACY WILLI ARD Assistant News Editor AppeJachisn Photo by Trey Horeck ttSIGNS DON'T LIE: While signs saying "no parking any time" are spread throughout campus, students don't always read sprint. However, oftentimes tickets are forthcoming for the parking violators from the University police and the Boone police. The Appalachian State University cam­ pus parking lots are holding more cars this semester than last semester according to the university traffic supervisor. Although the university does have ample room to accommodate each student's car at a university parking lot, all of this parking is not considered conve­ nient parking, according to Capt. Steve Perry, ASU traffic supervisor. Convenient parking lots are those close to classroom buildings. Lots located in outlying areas, such as South lot, behind the Broyhill Inn and Conference Center, and J lot, on Bodenheimer Drive, are not considered convenient by most students, explained Perry. "All the university's convenient park­ ing was full at thebeginning of the semes­ ter because the majority of students preregistered their cars for the fall term in April," said Perry. "Students who came to register their cars at the beginning of the semester were assigned to outlying lots, such as South lot." "We have tried to make the outlying lots asconvenient for students as possible. A shuttle bus runs from the Broyhill Inn to the driving range, at the College of Busi­ ness, every 15 minutes," said Perry. Perry has talked to numerous individu­ als, most of which have been commuters, who are concerned about parking such a longdistance fromclass. Peny saidhehas tried to help everyone he could. Perry said he wrote down students names who had a problem with their park­ ing locations and then contacted those students later after determining the num­ ber of spaces not being used. Students were reassigned to these two parking lots until they were full, at which time Perry repeated the entire process again. According to Perry, after he told stu­ dents about the shuttle bus, some have opted to stay in South lot because by riding the shuttle, they have a shorter distance to walk to class than they would if they parked at Stadium or Stansberry. "Right now I do have a few available spots, but I do expect to fill them up with commuters and students who have jobs and need to have access to their cars," Perry noted. Perry feels that one reason university parking lots are seeing so many student vehicles this semester is because the town of Boone has placed restrictions on park­ ing which took effect in the latter part of August. "I just don't think studentscould afford to pay the tickets they were getting when they parked downtown," said Perry. ^-Curricular Transcript offered Hunt speaks at ASU ](M > transcript will provide list of students' involvement jjWNMcGUIRE Staff Write, Cities !^ript 'kting co-curricular ava''able to students in Vi tn' ib tk- 611 acabem'c transcript, be^"lis semester. enable students to Walemp,0yer a verified list of V m 6fnent' addition, it will be 1 Rud r0no'°8'cal order, demonmovmg up through an Wlng that they arc agoalVine, ° N J!?

At the end of each semester, the leader of each organization will give a scantron sheet to all members. Codes will be used to list the organization and positions held. After the sheet is completed, students will return the sheet to the president for his/her signature in order for verification. A sepa­ rate sheet will have to be filled out for each organization. Dibernardi stated thathe is not awareof other campuses, if any, in North Carolina that have the transcript, so there will be a benefit of added credibility compared to a student from another campus. "The transcript will only open the door; when a student is in an interview they will have to articulate how these activities make them the best qualified candidate," Dibernardi said. However, one drawback that Dibernardi noted with the transcript is that only the activities participated in from this semester on can be included. The transcript is based on credibility and including activities from past years would notbe possible because there would be no way to verify all the activities. The transcript will indicate the year it was started, or fall 1991. "I agree with having the transcript be­ cause even though the other years are not listed, the senior year is the most impor­ tant and your involvement is usually the highest of all years," said ASU senior Caroline Garmon. The concept for the co-curricular tran­ script was developed by a joint effort between Director of Student Develop­ ment, Dr. Greg Blinding, student pro­ grams, the center for student development and leadership, and the career develop­ ment center where it was developed into reality. Much of the base cost of the transcript has been incurred by computer services, Dibernardi said. The only other cost asso­ ciated with this project are the costs of the scantron sheets, which run about $1,000 per 20,000 sheets.The cost of printing the transcripts will come out of Sie student development budget. "I think it is beneficial because it is more accurate and will save time. Using this method, people will not be able to exaggerate about their accomplishments and involvement. When I am applying for a job, it will be helpful to have the University's verification on my activi­ ties," said freshman Rebecca Pike. One major changeby the townof Boone in an effort to help downtown parking be less congested and to makeparking down­ town more accessible to customers was the hiring of a parking company to work for the town. McLaurin Parking Company, based in Raleigh, began the job in the last part of August. Since the company began, it is­ sues an average of 50 to 70 tickets each day. All the money the company receives from tickets goes directly to the town of Boone. "We have been working here for less than two months, but so far we are pleased with the way things are turning out,"said Donna Huff, manager of McLaurin Park­ ing. The change which has had the biggest effect on students is the two-hour parking places downtown have changed to onehour spaces to allow for a bigger turnover on the streets, according to Huff. "Lots of downtown merchants have noticed that there is a big turnover of cars on the streets now and they are pleased," said Huff. Two parking booths that charge by the hour to park opened downtown also. One of these lots is located on Queen Street, and the other lot is beside First Union downtown. According to Huff, these lots are mainly filled by students. Rapper hits concertgoer By AMANDA NELSON Appalachian News Editor Appstschian Photo by Dobbio Mc Mullen FORMER GOVERNOR SPEAKS TO PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS: Former N.C. Governor Jim Hunt spoke to ASU Teaching Fellows on Thursday, Sept. 26 at Edwin Duncan Hall. There was an altercation between a member of the rap group 3rd Bass and an intoxicated Appalachian studentat 11 p.m. during the group's performance at Legend's on Sept. 25, said Roy Tugman, director of university police. The student made advances to the musician's female companion and gotonto the stage to do so, Tugman said. Then, police reports indicate the musi­ cian punched the student. Subsequently, the student attempted to have a warrant issued for the rapper's arrest, but the mag­ istrate said he felt the singer was pro­ voked. The show was unaffected by the inci­ dent, and the student was refunded his admission price, Tugman said. Dave Robertson, director of student programs, said the student had harassed the group for a couple days leading up to the concert, which was sponsored by Ap­ palachian Popular Programming Society. University police officers were at the concert because of the large number of concertgoers and because legal consump­ tion of alcohol was permitted, Robertson said. �The Appalachian. Tuesday.

Students expelled because of belie 1 (CPS)—Three students who were kicked out of a Baptist-affiliated univer­ sity because of their religious beliefs may seek legal action against the school for its actions, which have kindled a theological dispute between the Rev. JerTy Falwell and the United Pentecostal Church. Seniors Chuck Groom, 32, of New York, Guy Redmer, 21, of New Jersey, and Mohammed Yacobi of Morocco, were expelled Sept. 20 from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va., after an appeals re­ view board upheld the recommendations of the school's deans and Falwell, who serves as college chancellor. The students, their attorney and a pas­ tor say they were kicked out for worship­ ing at the off-campus United Pentecostal Church. School officials say the students' refusal to obey the rules was the real reason why they were asked to leave, although they admit the students were asked to sign a form stating that they would not attend United Pentecostal church services. "They were not dismissed because of their beliefs but rather their refusal to stop proselytizing other students,"said Vemon Brewer, vice president for student devel­ opment. t Alexander Technique offered Oct. 8-Nov. 26: Workshops on the Alexander Technique will begin Oct. 8 and Nov. 5 at Appalachian State University. The 10week sessions, held on Tuesdays from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in room 213 of Broyhill Music Center, are sponsored by the Appalachian School of Music and the office of Conferences and Institutions. Jane Comfort Brown, a registered move­ ment therapist, will conduct the sessions. The Alexander Technique allows students to grow in awareness of mind, body and spirit, and makes them more aware of habitual behaviors that cause physical and emotional distress. The technique has been used by performing arts students to release muscular tension and heighten awareness of the body. It can be applied to walking, dancing, acting, singing, exercising and running. Costs are $ 100 per person for each session. For more information or registration call the Office of Conferences and Institutions at 262-3045. Meet The Candidates forum to be held Oct. 1: The Watauga County League of Women Voters will sponsor a Meet The Candidates forum on Tuesday, Oct. 1. This forum will allow voters an opportunity to hear the town council candidates and question them on their visions for Boone in the 1990s. The session will feature candidates for town council: Saul Chase, Louise Miller, Diana Perry, Jimmy Smith, Bob Sneed and Tim Wilson. The format will open with remarks by the candidates, followed by questions from the local media: Jerry Richardson of The Mountain Times, Sandy Wall of The Watauga Democrat and April Marshall of WATA. This will be followed by questions from the audience and then an informal coffee hour. The moderator for the evening will be Ron Hester. Audience members are encouraged to bring questions to the meeting. The informal time following the meeting will allow for viewpoints on specific issues of interest. The meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the Boone Town Council Chambers at 635 Blowing Rock Rd. in Boone. The meeting will be covered live by 1450 WATA and High Countfy Cablevision(chatinel 6). Brewer said the students were "pretty brazen in their approach" to other stu­ dents and that in their first hearing, one of the men told Brewer he would go to hell for his actions against the students. The students, however, say they were simply adhering to their religious beliefs. "They make it sound like we were stand­ ing upon tables in the cafeteria and preach­ ing," said Groom, a biblical counseling studenL "That's not the case at all. If someone asks me my religious beliefs, I think I have the right to share them." Two of the students—Groom and Yacobi—attended Liberty on full schol­ arships. Yacobi, who was unavailable for comment, is an international student who came to the United States to study at Liberty, his friends said. They are unsure if he plans to return home. Groom said much of his alleged pros­ elytizing came about because he is a reli­ gious counselor. Douglas Klinedinst, pastor of the United Pentecostal Church where the three wor­ ship, said the students were really dismissed because of the incompati­ bility of the United Pentecostal Church's doctrine to Liberty's. Liberty was founded as a Baptist col­ lege but has since touted itself as a private liberal arts school that adheres to a B aptist doctrinal position. The proselytizing accusations "that are coming out now are just to justify (Liberty's) religious differences, Klinedinst said. "Dr. Falwell has publicly denounced the United PentecostalChurch for being cultish and heretical. Klinedinst said the United Pentecostal Church is different from other Pentecos­ tal churches. United Pentecostal worship­ ers do not believe in the Trinity but rather believe that there is one God who has manifested himself in three roles. The church also baptizes people only in the name of Jesus, not in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, and worshipers believe that speaking in tongues is essential to the salvation of the soul. Falwell told students and faculty about two weeks ago that the United Pentecostal doctrine was not compatible with Liberty's, and they were not permitted to attend services at the United Pentecostal church. In a prepared statement about the stu­ dents' dismissal, Falwell reiterated his earlier stance: "We have a solt tion to parents and pastors to their sons and daughters are mainline, evangelical instruct! they do not become victims heretical influence," he wrote X f Falwell also stated that m« dismissal hinged on the stud compliance with a university*^* :— -<—i—* requires students who want nently worshipoutside of Libe sity churches to have written w? from the school. ^ At the hearings.

Appalachian. Tuesday. October 1. 1991 freshman orientation becomes challenging At Sterling College in Craftsbury Com­ mon, VL, officials believe that challeng­ ing outdoor activities help academic study. First-year students, known as "grassrooters," get acquainted through morning orientation activities during the first week of classes. They arise each day after dawn and break into groups for out­ door tasks. Challenges include morning farm chores such as milking cows, woodlot jobs, roping and hauling logsand building cross country ski bridges. The week is closed with a night hike over the nearby Lowell Mountains. "Seeing the dawn is a new experience for mostof them,"said Sarabelle Hitchner, director of admissions. Another school, Kalamazoo College in Kalamazoo, Mich., boasts an orientation program called Land/Sea that is modeled after Outward Bound. Students experi­ ence the joys and frustrations of three weeks of groupliving in the wilderness as they engage in a vigorous round of hiking, canoeing, climbing and rappeling. One week is spent learning how to sail a 60-foot brigantine around the Great Lakes, while the other two are spent in the woods and bluffs of a nearby Canadian park. Officials said a bond is formed that lasts long after students return to campus for classes. For the 14th straight year, the Outing Club of Whitman College in W alia Walla, Wash., will offer "Whitman Scrambles" which consist of nine one-week trips scheduled for the last week of August and led by teams of upperclassmen. Only six to 10 freshman go on each trip that may include Whitewater rafting, backpacking, camping or biking. The trips are spon­ sored by the Outing Club and run about $150 per trip. At St. Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y., orientation is preceded by optional "pre-trips" which consist of three-day. limited enrollment outdoor adventures in August that may include short hikes for beginners, a challenging trek across Mount Marshall for skilled outdoorsmen and a hiking and camping trip to Armstrong Mountain.

This lecture was presented as part of this semester's Special Forum Series. The discussion included the psychological and sociological fac­ tors related to HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. Keeling also touched base on drug abuse, unplanned pregnancy, sexual aggression and sui­ cide. •CANDA F. SMITH ^achian EtCetera Editor (yjy a decade ago, there seemed to be a obsession with becoming beautiful, surgery began to recreate new noses, ks and any other part of the men's and s anatomies that were unsatisfactory, revet, it is commonly the women who have problems with the excess fat around their body parts and change their natural aurcs (excluding scars), lean safely say that there will always be a desire to be beautiful. The need for foods and more vigorous exercise is j initely a huge plus in the effort to look and al better. All people are given the talents and uies that they have and need to accept xmselves. It is difficult to do this with the nplusis on gorgeous men and women in •igazines and on television. How can we learn i love ourselves when all of the surrounding pis dig into our insecurities telling us that we R not good enough? Whenlopen the pages of "Cosmo," beautiful :»i free women cover the pages. Sometimes I live no hope for a realistic outlook on women, but lately I have seen examples that ipalthil industries are not fabricating a tasy world. 1 have a friend that refuses to allow his lighters to possess a "Barbie doll." He feels in the dolls are too "mature." In his opinion, k girls could be influenced to also have an 18 wwaist, which is what Barbie would u»e if she were an actual person. Now they >ti new doll called "Happy to be Me" krbie. 1 This doll is a fair representation of the actual Fale figure. Her hips are wider, chest smaller, ttbrown, but she is still a pretty doll. She ay not be as glamorous as an 'I am ready to 1 Barbie, and her sales may not be as high, t l applaud society for portraying women aistically rather than showing them as Miss ririca clones. The co-sponsors of this program included Appalachian's AIDS Task Force, Sexual Aware­ ness Group of Appalachian, Counseling and Psy­ chological Services Center at ASU, Watauga County Medical Society and Auxiliary, Boone HIV Support Group and the Watauga Coalition for Prevention of Adolescent Pregnancy. Keeling is the director of the University of Virginia's Department of Student Health and an associate professor in the school of medicine. He has written several works on this subject, including "AIDS on the College Campus" and "The AIDS Dilemma." Keeling received a medical degree from Tufts University School of Medicine. He is Chairman of the American College Health Association's Task Force on HIV infection and AIDS. Keeling is currently a member of the National AIDS Net­ work, and he is also on the board of directors for the Human Health Organization. The discussion emphasized the risk factors on the decisions people make about sex. HIV, or Human Immunodeficiency Virus, is always a pos­ sibility when a person does not have safe sex. Even if people do know about this disease, they some­ times ignore the risks involved. Keeling stated that two to three out of every 1,000 college students have the HIV virus. This virus can be transmitted through sexual contact, exposure to infected blood (such as sharing needles) and perinatally, or being bom with the disease. One of the reasons that Keeling mentioned that people were not having safe sex is insecurity. A person may dosomething they know is wrong to be accepted, in the majority, or to fit in. Another reason is that people sometimes take spontaneous actions without thinking about the possible conse­ quences. A third reason given by Keeling for this unsafe behavior is that people do what they see. Keeling expanded on this prominent reason in his lecture. The two key words in the argument that deals with the effects of television are "Advertise­ ments" and "Alcohol." Keeling said that advertise­ ments have a great influence on the way people receive information today. A child in the 90's is more likely to turn on the television than to read a book. Television has a great impact because it is supposedly the accepted way to act, and people can visually receive signals that unsafe sex is "OK." Keeling showed numerous advertisements in which, to a close observer, a sexual message could be found. Keeling explained that people with a higher self-esteem are more likely to make better choices about sex. However, those with low selfesteem may want to have the right things and look See CONCERNS page 6 Environmental groups volunteer services By ALLISON KAY BRIDEN Appalachian Staff Writer We need the world; the world needs us. In order to survive, we need to keep the world a healthy place to live. The world needs our care in return for all that it gives us. Each person needs to do his or her part to help out. Realize yourrole today and take interest in local environmental groups. On campus, there are the University Environmental Issues Committee and Students Actively Volunteering for the Environ­ ment. Both groups are young, but have started to act out their endeavor to protect the environment. The UEIC was originally formed to plan activi­ ties for the 20th Anniversary of Earth Day. The UEIC currently has more on its agenda than just plans for Earth Day. Under the leadership of cochairmen Richard Gray and Wayne Williams, the committee is focusing on energy conservation, recycling on campus and a new program in the works called "Adopt A Campus." The Adopt A Campus program, if implemented, will be very similar to the already popular "Adopt A Highway" program. Groups, clubs and resi­ dence halls may sign up to adopt a section of campus. The group will then have the responsibil­ ity of periodically cleaning up the area, and recy­ cling cans, bottles and other recyclables. The program's main goal shall be the beautification of the campus.

The self defense classes are being taught weekly at the Quinn Center. Four students are taking time out of their schedule to teach free lessons to help insure safety on campus. Getting older and real izing the surrounding dan­ gers make it necessary for one to learn the art of self defense. Two students are helping to promote safety at Appalachian State University. Neil Brittain and Alen GarTett both have black belts and are willing to train fellow students to protect themselves. Brittain, a black belt in the arts of Kumo-GakUre-Ryu-Nimpo, and Garrett, a black belt in the arts of Tang-Soo-Do and Kei-Shin-Kau, started teaching a self defense/sexual assault class in the Quinn Center Sept. 30. "I want to share my knowledge,"Brittain said."I feel security on this campus is not adequate for women to feel safe. There are a lot of scared women on this campus, and no one is doing any­ thing about it." "I want to teach this self defense/sexual assault learn." GarTett and Brittain will be teaching the classes with their girl friends as demonstrators. Sabrena Lynn and Tersa Byrd are both sophomores at ASU. Byrd has some prior self defense train­ ing. Lynn has been taught several techniques by Garrett. Lynn demonstrated a few of the throws she learned from Garrett, by tossing Brittain over her shoulder. Lynn is 5'1" and Brittain is a lanky six footer. "Anything a guy can do, a women can do just as well," is Byrd' s motto. "Why should she depend on someone else to defend her?" Byrd feels at night it is not safe anywhere on campus. "I never go out after dark," Lynn stated flatly. "I live in a co-ed dorm, and I even feel threatened in an elevator alone with a guy I don't know. I'll get out on a floor other than my own, just so someone won't be able to follow me to my room. Lynn feels the areas behind Belk Library and behind all the dorms are especially unsafe. because...I want everyone, especially women, to know how to protect themselves," GarTett said. "I See SELF page 6 Women's Studies increase in popularity By KRISTINE FORREST Appalachian Staff Writer Are we really living in a man's world? Appalachian's Women'sStudies Program shows this is everyone's world. By focusing on exactly where women are, have beenand will be in society, the program hopes to shed light on how relevant the female gender is. Women's Studies is conducted by Dr. Melissa Barth, who is enthusiastic about its growth. The program, which has been a part of Appalachian since 1976, is within the Department of Interdisci­ plinary Studies in the College of Arts and Sciences, it had been a minor until it became a major last year, and is expanding as more people discover it. "People think it (Women's Studies) is only for women, but we do have men taking the classes," Barth said. Although many of the classes have a higher percentage of female students in them, others are more evenly divided between the sexes. "Sex and Gender Roles" is a particularly popular class and attracts both men and women. Regardless of gender, a major or minor in Women's Studies can be beneficial to almost any type of occupation. The program gives its students a strong basis for anything "people related" as well as offers a new approach to issues. This could be helpful to a future counselor, journalist, teacher or any other type of job that involves an understand­ ing of women. Women's Studies offers a resource center to anyone interested in information written by and about women. The collection includes books, films, audio tapes and other types of media that might help with a research paper or for just general knowledge. The resource center can be found on the ground floor of East Residence Hall. Special activities are sponsored by Women's Studies throughout the year. They are designed to inform and involve students and faculty members about the various aspects of women. "Sandwich Seminars," which are held monthly, are a major part of the activities program. The seminars are held in I.G. Greer and congregate students and faculty for speci al presentations. Some of the past meetings have included dramatic read­ ings, presentations of class work and lectures dealing with how women are presented in litera­ ture. Another activity that Women's Studies spon­ sors is the annual essay contest. Three cash prizes are awarded, and all students may enter essays dealing with women. March is Women's History Month and a busy time for the Women's Studies program. During this month, musicians, speakers and films will be used to celebrate the history of women. The main goal of the Women's Studies program is to direct attention toward the female perspective, instead of focusing exclusively on men. It is for people who want a more diverse understanding of society and are looking for a new approach to women's experiences.

October 1.1991 Maltese student experiences ASU By LAURA HOWARD Appalachian Staff Writer Coming to America can be a journey of curiosity and adventure for a visitor from another country. Jeanette Ancilleri, a for­ eign exchange student from the Univer­ sity of Malta, has discovered American culture to be quite different from that of Malta, an island located below Sicily in the Mediterranean Sea Unlike Americans, the Maltese thrive on food low in fat and calories. Dishes of eafood covered in thick sauces make up : Maltese diet. Mediterranean dishes ^iovide them with nourishing food. Ancilleri noticed that American eating habits are different than those to which she is accustomed. "People eat more here," Ancilleri said. The Maltese eat smaller ] ortions than Americans. Family life in Malta differs from the American lifestyle. Families in Malta are more unified and the relationship between family members "is usually good." Ac­ cording to Ancilleri, Maltese parents are generally not as reprimanding. "The parents inmost cases don't repre­ sent authority," Ancilleri said. Rarely do the children and their parents have disagreements. Children in Malta continuetolive withtheirparents through­ out their college years. Because the Uni­ versity of Malta does not have dorms, the majority of students live at home and commute to campus. Those who do not live at home are the ones "who have trouble with theirparents," Ancilleri said. Although the cultures of the two coun­ tries are strikingly different, Ancilleri has found some aspects of American life ap­ pealing. Ancilleri feels welcome in Boone because of the friendliness of the ASU professors. "You feel at ease, as if they are one of you," she said. "In Malta, you could really feel their authority." According to Ancilleri, ASU profes­ sors have helped her gel the classes she urgently needed before she could return to the University of Malta. "Even classes are different," Ancilleri said. The atmosphere of the classroom is much more relaxed and informal in America. All professors do not come to class wearing a suit and tie. Ancilleri feels more at ease seeing a professor wearing jeans and boots. Ancilleri is startled by the friendliness of the students. "I think the people here are really nice.Everybody here says 'Good morning,' or 'Hi'." She felt shocked to discover the stu­ dents' lack of knowledge about "house music." Most of the Maltese youth listen to "house music" and go to discotheques for enjoyment. This being Ancilleri's first trip to America, she is eager to travel to a city such as Washington, D.C. where the "House Craze" is now thriving. Ancilleri also misses her leisurely lifestyle in Malta. Given a choice of what she would ad­ vise Americans to do, she said, "I think Americans should take life more easy." Confused by the high-paced American lifestyle, she feels Americans should re­ lax more often. Jeanette Ancilleri lives on the International Hall in East Residence Hall with other foreign exchange stu­ dents.

Lynn and Byrd both have low opinions of co-ed dorms. Lynn said, "Last year we both lived in Eggers. The security was much better there. A guy has to be escorted around. The men stick out in a situation like that. In a co-ed dorm, who knows who belongs and who doesn't." "Keep your head up," is one simple technique Garrett advises. "An attacker is looking for an easy victim. Be aware of your surroundings. If you hear someone walking behind you, turn your head, and look them in the eye. Don't give someone a chance to sneak up on you." "We started planning this in August," Brittain said."So we don't want anyone to think this is a spur of the moment thing." The recent events on campus and height­ ened concern for personal safety haveonly proved to them these classes are needed. "We plan to teach simple control moves and knee attacks," Brittain said. "We'll teach girls to render an attacker helpless so they can escape." Classes will be in the Quinn on Wednes­ day, Oct. 2 at 7:30 p.m. and also on Oct. 7 at 7:30 p.m. "We'll do this every week until May if there is enough interest," con­ firmed both Garrett and Brittain. They will have Dr. Don Sanz from the counseling center as a guest speaker on Oct. 2. Garrett and Brittain are also taking their show on the road. They will be holding class for both Belk and Newland residence halls on Oct. 3 at 7 p.m. Classes in the Quinn are free. No prior self defense training is necessary.

Keeling stated that, "The power and control of our choices come from the outside world," and then when these mes­ sages are negative, so are the choices. Keeling used a phrase to describe this inner conflict: "Fear of Rejection vs Fear of Infection." Although many people do weigh these fears, more times than not. fear of rejection wins out. He said that many people think that they cannot catch the disease. Overall, the presentation was effective and provided acloser look into why AIDS is becoming an epidemic.

Campbell unloads a pass just before getting hit by blitzing UTC defenders. Campbell completed nine of 16 passes for 167 yards and one touchdown on the day against a gambling Moccasin defense. The ASU Mountaineers got back on the winning track Saturday by cruising past 10th ranked Ten­ nessee-Chattanooga 42-7 in a key Southern Con­ ference battle. The win improved the Mountaineers to 3-2 overall and 3-0 in the conference, enabling them to hold on to a first place ranking in the SC. The loss dropped UTC to 3-1 overall and 1-1 in the SC and snapped the Moccasins' hope of winning its first four games in a season since 1979. ASU Head Coach Jerry Moore w as pleased with the performance of the Mountaineers in bouncing back from the tough James Madison loss. "We executed so well offensively and defen­ sively, we had prepared to face a terrific team in UTC, and things really happened for us," Moore said. The Mountaineers, who gave up 1,003 yards in total offense in their last two games, kept the ball in their possession for 39:40 of the game and outgained the Moccasins 554-124. "Appalachian State just wanted it more than we did. that's how it looked to me," UTC Head Coach Buddy Nix said. "They did a good job of bouncing back from a bad whipping last week. We looked this week like they looked last week. I don't know w hat happened, this may be the biggest whipping we have been given." The Mountaineers, led by freshman tailback Chip Hooks and nearly perfect offensive execu­ tion. simply dominated from the beginning, rush­ ing for 357 yards on 68 attempts to the Moccasins' 63 yards on 30 attempts. Although neither squad scored in the first quar­ ter. the Mountaineers gained possession of the ball for all but 2:41 of the opening stanza. On the Mountaineers second possession of the game, quarterback D.J. Campbell dropped back to pass on a third and five from the ASU 33 and found running back A1 Ellis good for twelve yards and a first dow n. Campbell and Hocks moved the ball on the ground for a combined 50 yards to set up fullback J.K. Reaves' one-yard touchdow n run 49 seconds into the second quarter. Jay M illson kicked the extra point, giving App State a 7-0 advantage. Millson missed hisnext field-goal attempt of the day on ASU's next possession. This time Millson misfired from 35 yards and the Moccasins re­ mained within one touchdown with 4:38 left in the second quarter. After the Mountaineer defense forced another Moccasin punt, Appalachian took over at their own 25. On a third down from the ASU 38, Campbell spotted Hooks open down the middle behind the UTC secondary. The pass play was good for 61 yards as Hooks fumbled at the UTC 5, was tackled by UTC free safety Jackie Washington but rolled torecover the ball at the UTC 1. Campbell scored on the following play w ith 1:04 remaining, in the first half. Millson's extra point increased the ASU lead to 14-0. "The big play with Hooks and Campbell at the end of the first half really hurt us. The second half just got worse," Nix said of the Mocs. The Mountaineers thrashed UTC in the first half, totaling 14 first downs to UTC's one, gaining 281 yards to UTC's 32, and holding possession for 23:14 to UTC's 6:46. Appalachian State's first possession of the sec­ ond half had Hooks rushing for 42 yards On the drive setting up Reaves' second touchdown of the day on a two-yard touchdown run with 8:37 re­ maining in the third quarter.

Lady Spikers drop three of five matches By KELLY ROPER Appalachian Staff Writer The Appalachian volleyball squad dropped out of a first place tie in the Southern Conference as they fell to East Tennessee State on Sept. 25 by a score of 16-14, 15-13, and 15-3. The Lady Apps also split four matches in the Winthrop Invitational last weekend. ASU HeadCoachTraciMcGee felt the loss was due to a communication and passing breakdown, which in turn sparked a domino effect on the rest of the team's strategy. . "Strategically we knew the team's strengths and weaknesses, but acting on them offensively posed a problem," McGee said. McGee also felt that w hen ASU's passing and offense broke down so did the team's whole struc­ ture. "Offense is our moral booster, and without blocks and kills followed by poor serving our team can not get motivated," McGee commented. "But 1 still feel like we have a good chance to get our title back." Sophomore Michelle Wright led the squad with a .625 hitting percentage, six digs and two blocks while the team averaged a poor hitting percentage w hich peaked at .114 percent in the first game. Last Friday the team traveled to Winthrop Col­ lege for the Winthrop Invitational where the ladies split four matches. Opening the invitational against South Caro­ lina, ASU gave the Gamecocks a good match according to Coach McGee. USC won the match 15-12. 15-6, 11-15 and 15-7. "Our downfall was letting our tempo be deter­ mined by the first match," McGee said. "We were lied at 12-12 then we let them pull away which was a big let down for the team." DeArtna Keen led the team with 11 kills and teammate Holly Shamburger had seven blocks. Kim Nelson led with 11 digs and finished second in hitting percentage. Even though the team suffered a loss. McGee saw more of a team effort in this game w hich she also hopes to see in the future. Next up in the tourney w as host Winthrop who fell to the Lady Apps in three games, 15-8, 15-6, and 15-11.

Defeating Charleston in three games 15-13,15-10and 15-9 wasno problem for the ASU squad, according to McGee, who saw many positive things going on in the match. "We ran a really good offense and a lot of our plays were well executed, but our serving was definitely what stuck out," McGee explained.

Tie co-curricular transcript is part of the Student Development Record, By TRACY TARLETON Appalachian Commentary Editor Cherry Boone O'Neill, daughter of '50s popular singer Pat Boone, wrote a book called "Starving For Attention" in which she described her personal battle with one of the most prevalent diseases among high school and college students this century. O'Neill, who stands 5'7", weighed 88 pounds when she began therapy. Her obsession with food became so great that she resorted atone point to eating leftover pork chops from a dog's dish. Her battle with anorexia nervosa began at age 17 and lasted 10 years. She is grateful to have survived her ordeal and been able to write two books on it. Karen Carpenter, of the famous '70s singing duo The Carpenters, was not so lucky. In 1983 she died in her parents' home of heart failure due to an electrolyte imbal­ ance—a complication of anorexia nervosa. Statistic^ show that one out of every 20 college-aged women suffer from some type of eating disorder. Anorexia nervosa, a common type, is characterized by a loss of over 20 percent of one's body weight, a refusal to eat much, if any and overstrenuous exercise. Cherry Boone O'Neill, for example, was doing four hours of calisthenics a day at one point. Anorexics often love to prepare food and will make elaborate meals for their families and friends but jch is in its first year of existence. The record serves as official university pgnition for any student development activity. Hiis record providesa unique opportunity to Appalachian students. Thanks record, ASU students will have documented proof of their co-curricular olvement.

Bulimia, on the other hand, is also known as the "binge-purge" syndrome. The sufferer consumes huge quantities of food, sugary and starchy foods in particular. During a single binge, a bulimic can consume upto 20,000 calories—that's 10 large pizzas. "Purging" is often ac­ complished by throwing up or overdosing on laxatives but is also done by fasting. This disorder is also character­ ized by compulsive exercising. Bulimics, unlike anorexics, are usually within 10 to 15 pounds of their normal weight. Some of the psychological causes of eating disorders include a poor self-image and fear of failure. Although most of the sufferers of eating disorders are women, men can also be affected. Is it any wonder that some people are determined to lose weight to the point of starv ing to death when society today seems to dictate that being even a quarter of a pound overweight is horrible? Lately the trend seems to be reversing a little. A thicker figure is becoming more acceptable and an extremely thin one is outdated. One New York modeling agency wrote a book discussing diet for models. The agency stated that sometimes the models it hires are too thin to photograph well and must gain some weight before appearing on camera. However, the agency said, most of its models start out too heavy—the camera adds 10 pounds—and therefore the agency insists that they diet before they can begin work. Mass media in general does a good job of promoting the image that thin is in. Magazines boast articles with head­ lines such as "Drop a fast 10 pounds," 'Teen's summer shape-up guide" and "Jane Fonda's lean routine." Con­ sumers spend billions of dollars a year on weight-loss programs and fad diets. Most of these people do not need to lose a great deal of weight, if any. Fad diets, in particular, are dangerous.They oftenover­ emphasize one particular food and eliminate anything else. There seems to be a diet for everyone out there who has one favorite food and doesn't care about eating any­ thing else. "Lose 20 pounds a week on our hot fudge sundae diet," headlines scream. The next week another diet appears claiming that if you live off bananas for three days you'll lose 10 pounds. Probably—but what happens three days later when, if for nothing elseother than the fact that you'll be sick of bananas and never want to see one again, you have to eat something else? Diet products which are on the market and generate high revenues every year—LeanCuisine, Weight Watchers and SlimFast, for example—are not in and of them­ selves dangerous. SlimFast, an example of an over-thecounter liquid diet plan, is thought by some experts to be fairly safe if it issupplemented by one daily meal and isnot used as the sole source of calories ornutrition. However, the catch is that once adiet is over and the dieter goes back to regular eating, weight is likely to return. Some liquid diets cause the consumer to lose too much weight too fast, resulting in such health dangers as dehy­ dration and catalytic imbalance. Also, liquid diets are generally intended for the obese but are most popular among the moderately overweight, who often lose muscle tissue as well as fat, causing heart and organ damage. Pills such as amphetamines and diuretics are also espe­ cially dangerous. Amphetamines are addictive and can lead to addiction to depressants taken to counteract their effects. Diuretics, by unnaturally forcing water to be expelled from the system, can cause kidney damage if abused. Other fad diets, emphasizing one particular food or one particular menu, are dangerous because they throw off the body's delicate nutritional balance. Insufficient carbohy­ drates, for example, cause a condition known as ketosis,> in which the mineral electrolytes needed to maintain the. fluid balance of the body and regulate the heart are thrown See PURSUIT page 10 Proposition 48 decreases opportunities Athletic proposal is discriminatory To the Editor: I applaud Tarleton's commentary concerning affirmative action (Sept. 17, 1991) and the role it should play in college admission policies and the workplace. Affirmative action has been interpreted by so many as being a "quota" law and unfortunately has been implemented in that respect. I must comment on one area of Tarleton's article that is upsetting. Proposition 48 is a legislative action by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) passed in the early 1980s and first enforced in 1985. It states that freshman athletes who wish to play intercollegiate athletics their freshman year must have a 700 score on the SAT and a 2.0 CPA in a core of academic courses. Tarleton commented that the correct definition of affirmative action should exclude "blacks" from opposing Prop. 48. Not only is Prop. 48 biased against blacks, but it is also biased against all student-athletes who don't have the academic privileges that most of our high school students 4eem to have. The College Board, which administers the SAT, has admitted that the SAT is "culturally" biased. Opponents to Prop. 48, John Chaney (Temple University) and John Thompson (Georgetown University), have made tremendous cases that the NCAA regulation is not only a bias against blacks but also a form of racism. I am uncertain of the exact statistics, but I'm assuming that approximately 75 percent of the Prop. 48 athletes in the brief history of the rule have been black. Student-athletes from inner city school systems, such as Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia, have to meet Prop. 48 requirements with approxi­ mately one-third the funds per student that their suburban neighbors have in their school system budgets. Prop. 48 deprives a student-athlete even further when the student arrives on campus. Not only do these athletes suffer from substandard academic preparation, but now they must give up the one thing that got them to school: athletics. Let's give these students a chance and not label or penalize them for circumstances beyond their control. The NCAA continues to look for ways to hinder post-secondary chances for these student-athletes. Recently, Prop. 26 (formerly Prop. 42) was introduced to supplement Prop. 48 and take away all scholarship money for freshman student-athletes who didn't meet Prop. 48 standards. So now we have a situation where underprivileged students can't receive the financial support to even go to college. Most inner city families can't afford to send their kids to college, and athletics is the only way out. So, Tarleton, 700 on the SAT is a reason to shout. It furthers your point. "Affirmative action is 'action taken to provide equal opportunity for minority groups.'" I wonder if the NCAA can hear us shout. Television exists to exploit viewers To the Editor: As students we have a voice in what our money does and goes for. Please exercise that voice throughout your academic career. Regarding the column by Tracy Tarleton of Sept. 19, being a person who drives around town with a prominent "Kill your Television" bumper sticker, I felt it duly necessary to respond. I salute Tarleton's effort to enlighten the masses about the deleteri­ ous effects television may have on them, but I feel the need to express some reservations. Where Tarleton will not disagree with everything that is on television, I will! Although there may be "fine programming" that does exist on television, she seems impervious to the fact that it is all a facade, promoting the capitalistic desires of the few at the top of the fascist infrastructure we call America. And for those of you still caught up in the American dream, please don't tell me to "leave the country if I don't like it" You either miss the point or are my point. Assuming Tarleton has read Postman, (she quoted him) the main thrust of his Forward is that we, as a society, are slipping into the realms of passivity. All of our information is being lost in, "...a sea of irrelevance" (Postman). Her article mentions the fact that we are "turning into robots controlled by a television god," but are you aware who controls the god? Pepsi, Tampax and Toyota!!! You see we are being turned into automatons, and what we are being programmed to do is consume as we passively sit by and are entertained by all this "fine programming." Have you ever noticed who the sponsors are of the weather channel? Do you think there is a coincidence that the Tylenol cold flu formula commercial immediately follows the flu report? Have you ever noticed that Exxon, need I mention the Valdez, are the proud sponsors of Masterpiece Theatre on our most environmentally aware station, PBS? I thought cable was supposed to be commercial-free. People still pay to get it don't they? Anyway. You see I believe that a few enlight­ ening shows may exist on television, but until the day comes when I am no« longer subjected to commercials which consumer research has statistically shown will make me want things I do not need, purchase them at a price I cannot afford and attempt to convince me that I need more of them, I will continue to tout my banner, "Kill your Television." Jeanne Appelget ASU Box 08797 Steven D. Lefebvre ASU Box 12966 David W. Ozmore ASU Box 8735 Bond indebtedness appears in fees To the Editor: The issue of the Student Activity Center raised many eyebrows and votes last year but seems to have fallen by the wayside this year. Even if fees are not being collected this year for the building, through not out of kindness of the university, but under penalty of the law, the issue is still alive. SGA voted to "cap" our fee increases at S9.75 million (matching funds), they did not however vote to "cap" our fees for bond indebtedness. The administra­ tion sells bonds to finance buildings that are not funded entirely by the state, such as the steam plant, addition to the Student Union and, the administration hopes, the SAC. Students pay off the principle and the interest on these bonds. If ASU sells bonds for the portion that the state was to fund us, S9.75 million, students will be stuck with the whole fee. Fees are expected to increase in 1992 over S250. We should be informed on how much of these new fees are bond indebtedness, as well as, how much will go towards new programs, etc. To stop such increases students should press SGA to "cap" bond indebtedness fees, pressure the Board of Governors of the UNC system to not allow bonds to be issued and pressure the N.C. Congress by writing letters and calling officials. All this will cause the administration to sell fewer bonds for unnecessary projects. �Ill The Appalachian. Tuesday.

You've been drinking less APPALACHIAN FAIRNESS, ACCURACY AND PUBLIC SERVICE SINCE 1934 APPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY, Boone, NC 28608 Thursday, September 26,1991 [jniversity gains police 'srmer Appalachian security department is renamed campuses," Tugman said. "This change also brings about many legal things we didn't know if we wanted to get involved The added responsibility on university police officers makes the university more liable for the officers, according to Tugman. The change from campus security to campus or university police does place a much higher burden on the university itself, Tugman explained. "The officers won't be required to have any higher training than what they are required togo through now,"saidTugman. "For a number of years our officers have been required to meet training standards that are very similar to the training a Boone policeman goes through." Tugman added that another reason the university made the change is because security now needs more control in areas on campus such as Rivers Street than when the legislation was passed in 1987. Tugman said that one tiling university police will begin doing is ticketing speed­ ers on Rivers Street. The averagespeed on Rivers Street is 44 miles per hour accord­ ing to Tugman. The speed limitis 25miles per hour. "We want better enforcement on Riv­ uoiding to Tugman, in the past sev,1ms most universities have dcvel£ineed for more police authority in iimercspect as cities because, univeri tenuity officers often deal with as ,)people as town police officers.

Hopefully it will be soon be a safer street," Tugman said. A speeding ticket from university po­ lice on a public road or highway passing through campus will be treated the same as if a Boone policeman had given the ticket. It will be a state ticket and the process will be handled through state court. Tugman said university police do not have all the equipment they need yet to give speeding tickets and when the equip­ ment does arrive the officers will have to be trained to use it properly. "We feel this change is a positive step for this department and for this univer­ sity," Tugman said. "In the long nrn, we will be able to provide a more profes­ sional police department as well as better service to the university." Tugman said the university has had the power to make this change for several years. In 1987 the General Assembly of North Carolina amended a general statute that allows the Board of Trustees of any institution of the University of North Caro­ lina to form a campus law enforcement agency with campus police officers. According to Tugman, the change is state funded. He added the officers won't see asalary increase because of this change. appmmcntfi hooio oy Jennifer Morris SPEEDERS BEWARE: Former ASU security has been renamed and now has powers like that of the Boone Police Department, including the right to ticket speeders.

According to Patsy Braxton, director of financial aid at Appalachian, the changes will be signifi­ cant. "We anticipate that there will be major changes in both the delivery system and in the funds available. However, right now we are no t in a position to sayex actly what the changes are,"said Braxton, who is one of six members of the National Commit­ tee of Financial Aid Programs Response Network. One area of concern surrounding the amendment focuses on the equity of loans and grants.Currently, there ismore money available for student loans than is avail­ able for grants, causing what Braxton said is an on-going battle between the two programs. "We will soon see a difference in who can become eligible for loan programs. There is a surge to provide more fund­ ing for middle-income families,"Braxton said. Assisting middle-class students is a necessary change because quite often it is these students who are neglected by the system, Braxton said. Right now there are some financial aid programs available for average income families, butif the system continues in the same way it is currently going, Braxton said a system could be created where only the very richest and the very poorest students can afford to attend college. While all of these proposed amend­ ments seem favorable, Braxton stressed that it is important to remember that they are only proposals. To provide more edu­ cational funding, the government will have to be convinced more money is needed. "It is going to be an incredibly tough battle, and you need to call your congress­ men," said Selena Dong, legislative di­ rector of the United States Student Asso ciation. The House Postsecondary Education subcommittee, which led the reauthor­ ization effort, has held more than 45 hearings during the past two years. The subcommittee has finished its hearings and is expected to begin marking up the bill early this fall. Mark-up is the crucial phase for all bills. The congressional representatives re­ view the bill section by section, propos­ ing new rules to replace ones they do not agree with. Dong said this mark-up process gives students a chance to fight for proposals they favor, such as switching financial aid emphasis from loans to grants. "A lot of people say, 'What difference does it make to call your congressman?' But a lot of changes have to be made and congressmen do read their mail," Dong said. The bottom line, according to Braxton, is how to get the most money to the most students. Considering that 68 percent of all Appalachian students receive some form of financial assistance, these amend­ ments should hit pretty close to home, she said. ASU plans exchange with Soviets Iron curtain falls; cultural exchange between two nations begins ASU News Bureau With the exchange of signatures and gifts, Appalachian State University en­ tered a faculty-student exchange Sept. 17 with North Ossetian State University in the Soviet Union. Rector Akhourbek Magometov made his.first trip to the United States to sign the documents establishing the exchange, the first between his university and a univer­ sity in the United States. NOSU is a four-year comprehensive university with an enrollment of approxi­ mately 8,000 students. The university has 24 departments and a medical school. It's located in Vladikavkadz, North Ossctia, a mountainous town similar to Boone. Speaking through an interpreter. Rec­ tor Magometov said he had been impressed with the kindness and openness shown to him during his visit to the area. "I am glad the times are gone and we no longer think of each other as the enemy," Magometov said. He jokingly recalled the day s when Soviet citizens weretold Ameri­ cans had their own personal nuclear bombs. "When I was visiting Chancellor (John) Thomas, I was eager to find out what a personal nuclear bomb was. In­ stead I found the kind heartsof the people." "The firm foundation on which the ex­ change rests is mutual trust and respect," Thomas said. "It's timely to enter this agreement. Faculty and students will have the opportunity to live through and wit­ ness historic and positive changes in (the Soviet Union)." NOSU is interested in exchanges with Appalachian's business faculty and with faculty who will teach English as asecond language. But, according to Magometov, the exchange is important not only for academic purposes. 'The most important thing involved in this exchange is not academics or culture, but the human ex­ change," Magometov said. The exchange will send faculty to each institution to teach, conduct research and offer consultation services. Students will be able to take courses in non-degree programs. The connection between NOSU and Appalachian was made in 1989 when a professor from Appalachian visited the lators discuss food services and appoint a new judiciary board hiRrv„r^a^P0'nte<'to Hxe Judicial 4, gJVe bberly, director of food HiG0 9 P^Hktion at the Sept. ernment Associationmeet- Triplet and Whitney Hunter, two SGA members who were killed in a car acci­ dent this past summer. Triplet was to be treasurer of SGA and Hunter was to be off-campus affairs chairman. Following these presentations, Dubberly made a p<eser.tation in which he explained the present situation of food services and the reasoning behind the varied hours at different food facili­ ties. Speaking first about the newly opened Trivette Hall, he said the idea for an eating facility in the Stadium Heights area of campus was introduced about 15 years ago, but it was not taken seriously until 1985. It was then when university adminis­ trators predicted there would be a rise in student enrollment over the next decade, and a food facility in that area would be needed. The plans were made and the Park Place Cafe and Pizzeria opened this year. Since a year and a half ago, when stu­ dents could only use their meal cards at four locations around campus, four new card usage facilities have opened, allowing students eight choices for on-campus dining. Dubberly continued, stating, that since there is now more of a variety, some facilities have had to close during certain meal hours. One reason behind these closings is that the cafeteria is feed­ ing 20 percent less students for breakfast than it did a few years ago. This same trend also is true in the cafeteria's lunch and dinner hours. The food court, con­ versely, is going up in numbers of stu­ dents served. One reason for the drop in service is believed to have come from the fact stu­ dents are spread over a greater area now with the four new card usage facilities opening. Each facility was judged during its meal hours and slow hours were deter­ mined at each. Dubberly said when hour cutbacks came, they closed facilities at those hours first. Consequently, the caf­ eteria being closed at dinner is an example of this. Plans have been made, however, to begin serving cafeteria-type dinners at comparable prices at the Food Court and at Park Place Cafe to give students a greater choice. Dubberly concluded his presentation with the statement that the university is "providing choices, but not all choices during their slow periods of time." The final order of business at the meeting was the appointment of students to the Judicial Board. A senior appoint­ ment went to Jenni Parker, the junior appointments went to Jason Bonar and Susan Lee, the sophomore appointments to Galen Brinn and Christopher Dodd and the freshman positions to Samantha Hackett, Mark Love and William Robinson.

As as result, student health clinics are trying to find alternative sources of fund­ ing. Many counseling services could be ended as a result of budget cuts, adminis­ trators warn. "There is a change in mood on univer­ sity campuses across the country," said Dr. Donald Peters, director of the Univer­ sity of Minnesota's Health Services. That mood is not a health-conscious one. As state and federal funding decreases, tuitions increase. Because schools are try­ ing to keep their total costs as low as possible, some fees, like health fees, are not escalated to maintain service," said Dr. Vema Armstrong, senior educational resources consultant with the American Association of State Colleges and Uni­ versities. Most student health centers across the country are supported primarily by student fees. The remainder of the money comes from university funding and third party insurance. Insurance money is collected from non-student patients using the student health centers for medi­ cal care. Most university counseling services, such as rape crisis centers, drug and alco­ hol treatment programs and educational programs for AIDS, eating disorders and stress, do not fall under the health services umbrella. Instead, they are funded primarily by each university with minimal money com­ ing from fees. In times of financial strain. counseling programs are usually the first to get cut. "This is the 1990s," Peters said. "We are not just Band-aid centers. There are an incredible number of services students need. Unfortunately those programs, the ones peripheral to health care, are always the first to go." Already this year budget problems at Stanford University have resulted in the school ignoring a task force recommen­ dation to hire someone to run its sexual assault services. The University of Florida has suffered cuts in its rape counseling and victim advocate services as well. "People really need to have these pro­ grams to deal with what's going on,"said Ll Sadie Dranell, spokeswoman for the Gainesville Police department. At Rutgers University a recommenda­ tion by a task force resulted in the hiring of a person to run the school's sexual assault services. But, theschool has reduced funds for its alcohol treatment program. "I think there's a general feeling of considerable vulnerability because class­ room activities won't be cut," said Dr. DavidBums, Rutgers' assistantvicepresident for student life. "Many people feel these services are essential. We see them as linked to education but many institu­ tions just hold instruction at the top." In Washington, the government is get­ ting involved in the issue as well. Selena Dong, legislative consultant for the United States Student Association, a lobbying group for student concerns, said USSA is working on trying to get federal money earmarked for rape counseling services. Sen. Joseph Biden, D-N.J., recently worked with the Senate Judiciary Com mittee to get a bill passed that provides some federal money SUIIlClCUtlOJIIIVI.v; to colleges that agree o w to make sexual assault statistics public Ironically, about two yeai.

While many are contemplating the fate of counseling services, health administra­ tors are scrambling to come up with their own methods of earning money. Dr. William Broyles, administrator of the Student Health Center at Mississippi State University, recently shared his school's success at the American College Health Association's annual meeting. Broyles said Mississippi State is allow­ ing private doctors to practice at the student health center. The center then charges the physician an overhead cost for using the facilities. Also, the student health center is providing low-cost health care, such as physicals for non-students, and is reduc­ ing the cost of X-rays and other tests by having them performed at outside labora­ tories. Peters adds, "What major institutions have to do is use the inner structure (of health care centers) to include health care for employees, faculty, staff and others to gain revenue." By adding these non-stu­ dent patients to the list, university health centers can receive increased insurance money for payment of services. "Because we are self-supported, we have had to generate our own revenue," Broyles said. "It's strictly market-driven. The more patients, the more money." Another option for some schools is "trying to help by offering group insur­ ance plans to students," Armstrong said. - their dormitory "juuis or ap^w. —z rooms or ap; Tte Cllar have i_* I . this* y ^ Its sales tripled fe underscoring the concern par dents have about their health *** The kit, designed by S.D s> about because "I went to scK^ ** was older and I saw students a ^ kinds of health questions.

It's all because of a U.S. District court's ruling against Kinko's Graphics Corp., which owns about 300copy shops nation­ wide, most of them near campuses. Judge Constance Baker-Motley ruled that the chain's popular "professor publishing" program broke copyright laws.

Kinko's had argued that its photocopy­ ing constituted "fair use" under federal copyright laws because it was educational in nature, but the judge rejected that claim. The ruling applies not just to Kinko's but to any other copy shop that produces course packets. It means they all must get publishers' permissionfor everything they photocopy, adding "time and cost to the educational process," said Adriana Foss, of College Stores (NACS).

After earning his masters in performance from the University of Miami as well as his masters in composi­ tion, Meister moved to Appalachian to begin teaching. Meister also holds his doctorate in music composition. Meister likes to have a festive environ­ ment for the concerts, where the audience can be close to the band rather than seated at a distance. This setting is also helpful when Meister speaks briefly to the crowd to inform them of the music that will be played. The steel band often plays for public schools. The band sends music to public schools before they play so the children can sing along during the concerts. "When we play for 2,000 people, and they all start shouting it gets to where we can't hear ourselves playing anymore," said Meister. The band played for 100,000 people at the Springfest in Charlotte.This year they are planning to give various artist lectures along with their yearly service project, the Boone Christmas Parade. Steely Pan performs Friday, Sept. 27 at 6:30 p.m. to kick off family weekend. The performance will be held in the grassy area between Broyhill Music Center and Walker Hall. The band will also perform on Sunday, Sept. 29, at Bio wing Rock Memorial Park.

Take a long look and laugh at tonight's Comic Strip Live! IttOAM PURCELL .(jpiichian Diversions Editor The Comic Strip starts its season this jtt with comedians Carl Strong and Gigante coming to the stage in Legnis. Tin Comic Strip has been one of the welcomed additions to campus nwtiinment sponsored by the Appalachian Popular Programming The series has grown and grown in both quality of the performers and num­ ber of students attending. As a once a month series, the Comic Strip hopes to bring nationally known comedians to campus each semester. Past artists have included Emo Phillips, Todd Yohn, Lance Montalto and Jeff Dunham. The series will usually run on the last Thursday night of every month and will feature two comedians. Each come­ dian will perform for 45 minutes to one hour. The comedians featured tonight should be a great kick-off to another successful season for the Comic Strip. Mike Gigante returns to Boone and the Comic Strip with his intriguing comedy routines. "If George Carlin and Jay Leno had a child together it would be Mike Gigante," said Randy Kelly. Carl Strong is another entertaining co­ median who recently received two stand­ ing ovations at the Apollo. The most successful night of the Comic Strip occured last year when Jeff Dunham and his pal Peanut brought the roof down at Legends. Both in the number of people attending and in the positive response the night was truly a success. Most of the comedians that come to the Comic Strip also appear on the Comedy Zone circuit. Many have appeared on"The Tonight Show," "Late Night with David Letterman," "Evening at the Improv" and other comedy shows on HBO, VH-1 and MTV. Another favorite performer who keeps returning to the ComicStrip is Todd Yohn who always gives a great show with most of his comedy centering around college life. A fun part of the Comic Strip is the student competition in which members of the audience tell the best jokes they know in order to win prizes. The winner is determined by audience response. The student jokes are often some of the most risque routines of the night.

Tickets are S4 for since the movie, based on the play, ap­ peared in theaters last year. students and S8 for non-students. The play was written by Alfred Uhry and based on things he remembered from his childhood and family. Uhry began writing in high school where he wrote the book, lyrics, music and produced and di­ rected his first musical. After graduating from Brown University in 1958, Uhry met Robert Waldman, his collaborator for the next 25 years. His first Broadway show was "Here's Where I Belong," based on John Steinbeck's "East of Eden." Uhry wrote the lyrics, Waldman wrote the mu­ sic and Terrence McNally authored the book. The show opened and closed the same evening in 1968. Uhry began his teaching career at the high school level after his Broadway fail­ ure and learned about English, Shakespeare and playwriting along witlj his students. He made a return to Broad-' way in 1975 with a musical adaptation of Eudora Welty's "The Robber Bride-i See BROADWAY page 6 ' Van Halen strives for a new sound with ninth album cenlury'11 is Vd lnc •i8'h g° g celebration of Ted Templeman and Andy Johns combine with band in producing "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" :200th * m 'V""--0f "Mozart's life..

The mid-'80s saw the departure of hard-rocking David Lee Roth and the introduction of the new, commercial Van Halen with Sammy Hagar as the front man. Now the band is going through a similar change. Eddie Van Halen hasonce again proven himself to his own band. In the early days he played hard driving and burning solos; now he has taken a back seat, letting the other members step into^the^limelight^ Eddie Van Halen has some terrific solos on this album. His rhythm guitar may be as good as he has ever played. This album showcases the talents of Alex Van Halen and Mike Anthony. Anthony is finally recognized as more than a stage presence. You can actually hear him on the album. On "Judgement Day" and "Poundcake," his baselines sound as if he is playing live. Alex Van Halen finally found a satisfy­ ing drum sound on this album. Van Halen worked with producer Andy Johns to cre­ ate a sound in the studio that Alex Van Halen could finally be happy with. This album is acombination of new and old sounds for Van Halen. The band has one back to some harder tunes. Eddie £ Van Halen's magic fingers aren'tthemain a sound that closely resembled their live focus anymore. He can still be heard shows. They also reconciled with Ted playing riffs underneath Hagar's vocals Templeman, who produced all of their and during hot solos, but this album show­ albums through the 1984 album.

Eddie Van Halen said,"If you left tunes such as"Runaround,""Poundcake" Andy and us alone, I would write and and "Judgement Day." Eddie Van Halen write and we would never be done. Ted pulls some vintage Van Halen out of his brought discipline. He's a schedule ori­ hat with "Little Guitars" and "316." ented guy."

It combines some vintage Van Halen with commercial Van Halen. Van Halen fans of both the Roth and Hagar eras would enjoy this album.

"It sure has been a long time since we have won in Boone and the reason for that is that Appalachian State always has a well prepared, talented and physical foot­ ball team," Nix said.

But Sunday, ASU was left looking for »trs. The Mountaineers have struggled de­ fensively early in the season, and this was evident again Sunday night. ASU was unable to push the ball up the field forcefully, and in effect, scored only one goal. On the other hand, the Gamecocks had a scoring field day on the Mountain­ eers. The lone goal for Appalachian was registered by David Teny, who com­ mented, "South Carolina is just a better team than we are. Their players are older and just have a much higher maturity level than we do." Experience was definitely a factor in favor of the Gamecocks, especially since ASU did not have one senior in the start­ ing lineup. According to Head Coach Art Rex, lack of intensity was also a problem for the Mountaineers on Sunday. Rex said it has been a serious drawback for the first part of the season. Rex felt the Mountain­ eers were not aggressive when tackling and challenging for the ball. "That's just too many goals to be given up in one day, and even though this is a Carolina 10-1 young team, there is still no excuse,''Rex stated. Rex wishes for his team to find a posi­ tive mind-set and not have as many defen­ sive mental lapses. "If we could just do the simple things, we'd be alright," Rex said. Rex said opponents have been scoring goals early and quite easily against the Mountaineers. Rex added that he is still searching for combinations that work well together out on the field. Rex also feels that the NCAA pushing back the starting date for games hurt the cross country team "stplace while the men's squad wirth at last Saturday's meet at ^Parkin Blowing Rock.

"We have a lot of work to do, but I felt like Saturday's meet was a success," Fereshetian said. Eleven of his runners improved their all-time record Saturday, which Fereshetian sees as a good basis for im­ provement. Breakinganew sophomoreclassrecord and establishing himself as the number two all-time ASU runner, Billy Pemberton finished second in the meet with a time of 25:01, just five seconds away from the school record. "I think he will break it(the school record) this year,"Fereshetian said. Senior Steve Simandle placed 19th in the meet, followed by senior David Ess who finished 23rd, while Brian Watkins placed 28th out of the 83 qualifying run­ ners. Fereshetian got a pleasant surprise out of freshman Mark Noble who im­ proved his time by 32 seconds to place 29th in the meet. Fereshetian still feels the seniors are canying the team, but the underclassmen will improve as the season progresses. The men's team is also traveling to Wake Forest for the meet on Oct.5. Fereshetian sayshis team knows thecourse well and hopes for a Mountaineer victory Although ASU has struggled, Terry has been a definite bright spot. South Carolina Head Coach Mark Berson com­ mented, "David Terry is an excellent player and could play anywhere in the country." The Mountaineers who stand at 1 -0 in the conference have their second league game Sunday against Furman in Kidd Brewer Stadium. But if the Mountaineers are to win, according to Rex, they must raise their intensity level up another notch. Ladies drop three ady runners win; ien finish fourth ®-LY ROPER Mountaineers. ASU's four losses have all been on the road and against nationally ranked teams. They have dropped deci­ sion to Wake Forest and South Carolina and went head-to-head with North Caro­ lina last night. Rex hopes thesegames will help the Mountaineers when Southern Conference play kicks off. ASU's weaknesses have been exproscd, but Rex feels this may be a blessing in disguise. "We are learning from these games, and hopefully we can work on our weak­ nesses," Rex said. Appaltchwn Photo by Jennifer Morrie RUNNING TO VICTORY: ASU runners Leigh Wallace (left) and Nicole Disher (right) run during the Lady Mountaineers' home meet last Saturday. The Lady Mountaineer field hockey squad picked up their first goals of the season but fell short in three matches this past weekend at the Lynchburg Tourna­ ment. Appalachian State opened the tourna­ ment at the mercy of Hartwick (N.Y.) dropping the match by a 5-0 score. "We kind of started out asleep and didn't click well as a team," ASU Head Coach Cathy Burlesonsaid after the match. Traditionally strong Hartwick featured quickness and a large, strong squad which the Lady Apps were simply unable to handle. ASU found themselves exhausted, as they were without halfback/sweeper Melinda Neagle due to illness, and there­ fore, were left with only one sub to use when starting players became fatigued. Despite the loss, Burleson felt that the Lady Apps concentrated on developing their passing game in this particular match. "We have a tendency to play a 'bang game' where we just hit and run, but in this match we tried to stay short passing and develop a new style of hockey," Burleson said. Soprhomore sweeper Tammy Everhart led the Appalachian defense with three saves which impressed Burleson."Tammy played really well; she is developing her skills well as a sweep»er," Burleson said. The Lady Mountaineers went on to challenge Lynchburg later in the day but were once again unsuccessful in capital­ izing on any shot oprprortunities and dropped 5-0. "We still didn't mold as a team. We just didn't look like a normal field hockey team. Everyone put forth 100%, but w» just didn't click," Burleson said. Junior forward Elise Steuer had two defensive saves for the Lady Apps, and Everhart also offered depth for the Appa­ lachian defense. Sunday, the Lady Apps met Wooster (Ohio) and captured their first goals of the season, but fell short 3-2. "We started playing as a team," Burleson said. ASU held Wooster 16 minutes without any score, which impressed Burl -son. "We raised up to their (Wooster's) level and it was good to maintain a solid competi­ tion," she said. Wooster led the Lady Aprps 2-0 at the half before the Appalachian offense got fired up and capitalized on their first goal of the season. Junior forward Shannon Smith carried the ball and lifted it to score for ASU. Minutes later. Smith as­ sisted sophomore forward Lisa Fromm for a second Lady Mountaineer goal. The ASU squad was unable to hold off Wooster, however, who scored in the fi­ nal minutes to bring the match to a 3-2 final. Despite the loss, Burleson felt that the Lady Mountaineers prut forth their great­ est effort thus far into the season. "Every­ one played exceptionally and with five more minhtes we probably could have scored again," Burleson said. The effort was particularly impressive due to the fact that the ASU squad was withoutNeagle and defensive powerhouse Melissa Puckett, who was injured in Saturday's Lynchburg match. Other strong performances for the LadyMountaineers came from Sara Hopkinson who moved around to link and played exceptionally and goalkeeper Mattie Jean Hunt who is developing as a goalie and "bounced back strong after two losses," Burleson said. The Lady Aprps will travel to High Point on Saturday to challenge the Lady Panthers and V irginiaTech as they will be looking to pick up two wins, a "very realistic goal," according to Burleson. �( ^ The Appalachian Thursday Spptemher ~>(i JOOJ Big Apple Road Race is a huge success Appalachian Staff Reports _ ~ ~ The nmth annual Big Apple Road Race was held last Saturday, with more than * 450 runners talung pan m the event.

This prevents Appalachian as and faculty from immediately taking advantage of the worthwhile aw. By TRACY TARLETON Appalachian Commentary Editor Last year, in an effort to raise more revenue for the declining stale budget, legislation was introduced (but not passed) to raise the tax on alcoholic beverages. In a smaller middle-class town, two professionals were discussing the proposal. One said, "I think the alcohol tax should be raised 40 percent." Why? the other asked. "North Carolina already has one of the highest alcohol taxes in the country. Besides, a higher alcohol tax won't bring in much more revenue for the state." "I don't care about bringing in revenue for the state," the first man said. "I want people to quit drinking!" He was being facetious of course, but this is an example of the new attitude America is taking toward drinking. A new temperance movement is making its way across the United States. Out of 20.7 million students surveyed in grades 7-12, 10.6 million have taken a drink in the past year. Eight million drink weekly. Half a million guzzle five or more drinks in a row at least once a week, and 5.4 million participate in binge drinking. Even with these statistics, surveys show that fewer teenagers are drinking now than were a decade ago. With the raising of the legal drinking age from 19 to 21 in 1986 as well as the rise of popular anti-drunk driving cam­ paigns, a new movement against alcohol, particularly teenage drinking, is in full swing. The reason behind the raising of the drinking age, the B21 law, was to reduce alcohol-related deaths, particularly traffic accidents, among teenagers. Statistics were show­ IV exchange agreement is a good one that shows Appalachian's expanding cultural diversity.

ASU commended for choice of speakers To the Editor: Frvt IS dO' hissed is the person who is hstf to worry in the daytime and too sleepy to worry at night. —Leo Aikman Distributed by Tribune Media Services ing that the highest rate of alcohol-related traffic fatalities were for those between ages 16 and 24. Fifty percent of all traffic deaths are alcohol-related. The formation of SADD, Students Against Driving Drunk, and MADD, Mothers Against Driving Drunk, in the early 1980s further stiffened the campaign against the dangers of alcohol. Even the companies that manufacture alcoholic bever­ ages are getting involved in the campaign to keep alcohol out of the hands of underage drinkers and to encourage those who are legal to drink responsibly. Anheuser-Busch, the nation's largest producer of beer, spent $20 million on its "know when to say when" campaign. Miller Brewing Co. has tripled its responsible drinking campaign. It produces the television commercials which say, "Think when you drink." Last spring break, beer companies gave up their former methods of advertising—two-story inflat­ able beer cans and giving away free samples. Instead, the roads to Daytona Beach, Fla„ a popular spring break hotspot for high school and college students, were dotted with billboards reading, "Good beer is properly aged. You should be, too." John Shafer, manager of alcohol and consumer issues for Miller Brewing Co., explains why beer companies are doing such advertising. "It's just good business sense to make sure we're on the right side of these issues," says Shafer. ("Business Week," June 24, 1991.) However, marketing done by alcoholic beverage com­ panies has been partially to blame for underage drinking. In fact, the Surgeon General is requesting new studies on the link between alcohol marketing and underage drink­ ing. Underage drinkers, according to recent studies, con­ sume 1.1 billion cans of beer and 35 percent of all wine coolers sold. Beer companies use upbeat advertising to sell their product, and wine cooler makers bottle their product in flashy bottles. These marketing techniques could have enough effect to counteract any efforts bever­ age businesses make to discourage teenage drinking. However, the industries defend themselves saying that parents should take responsibility for educating their children on the proper and improper usage of alcohol. Industries also say they have been made scapegoats for alcohol-related tragedies such as fetal alcohol syndrome and traffic accidents. With statistics dropping, maybe underage drinkers are hearing the message that the beverage companies, as well as the rest of the community, are trying to send. Another means of discouraging irresponsible drinking is being aimed at those who are old enough to drink. At various locations throughout the state, including Sollecito's Restaurant in Boone, breathalyzer machines have been installed. All you have to do is pop in a couple of quarters, and you can find out if you're too drunk to drive before getting out on the road to find out. However, the machine has its possible misuses. One would be using it to set drinking records. Another potential misuse would be blowing a .10 or above in the machine, then driving home any way, just to prove it could be done. Another much less serious possibility would be not using the machine at alL except to play with it. Attitudes toward drinking in America arechanging, but have always been different in other countries. For ex­ ample, inTrinidad andTobago, high school students often come home from school and have a beer—one beer—in the same way that American students might come home and have a Coke. In Europe, it is common to have a glass of an alcoholic beverage, either beer or wine, about once a day. This practice is considered very healthy. In fact, studies show that those who drink one glass of an alco­ holic beverage a day have fewer health problems than those who do not drink at all. However, many people unfortunately have come to view alcohol, not as a food product that can be used healthily, but as a drug whose purpose is to transform the user's state of mind for aperiod of time. Foreign exchange students will often comment on how the American attitude toward alcohol seems to be much more geared toward getting drunk than the attitudes in other countries. In European countries there is no drinking age, and there are fewer alcohol-related health problems than in the United States. Their attitude toward drinking is much more what Americans consider "social drinking"—Europeans are less likely to drink for the purpose of getting drunk. Parents are campaigning against irresponsible drink­ ing. So are students, churches and even alcoholic bever­ age producers. Some are calling this attitude a new move­ ment toward temperance. Whatever it may be called, America deserves to be praised for its call for more responsibility with alcohol. Statistics on underage drink­ ing and alcohol-related traffic deaths have gone down. Let's hope that with so many people taking action against using alcohol irresponsibly, the statistics will continue to fall. Office of Cultural Affairs praised rmttment to D T COMMENTARY KURT C. WARD Editor-in-Chief The one recipient of my student fees that I have never had reason to complain about is the Arts and Forum Series, put together each year by the Office of Cultural Affairs, which brings nationally known speakers to campus. There has been much debate over the last-minute choice of Gen. Thomas Kelly as our convocation speaker. Let me say that I attended the convocation out of my respect for Gen. Kelly and the men and women formerly under his command, men and women who frequently do for us civilians the things we want done but are afraid to do for ourselves. The words of another speaker, however, make me even prouder of the United States Armed Forces and I think demonstrate justification for where they spent their spring break. CBS News Medical Correspondent Dr. Bob Amot was on campus Tuesday night to speak about "Global Perspectives on Health Issues," and part of the globe that he talked about was the Persian Gulf. He spoke of American medical troops who risked their lives in a storm to save wounded Iraqi soldiers — that's right, Iraqi soldiers. He spoke of American servicemen holding small Kurdistan babies in their arms while they administered life-saving formula. This is the America I am proud of, the America that realizes its great strength to do good and employs that strength. It is important to point out that I am just as proud of our troops for fighting to stop the brutality of Saddam Hussein, brutality that I am sure Dr. Amot was also witness to in the hospitals of Kuwait. This war was about much more than oil, but what is most admirable is that we were there to care for the wounds after the br'tle was won. We were there to care for our fellow human beings, and that can be the only just cause for any war. I thank the Office of Cultural Affairs for using my money so well, and once again I thank the United States Armed Force for, perhaps, representing us better than we deserve. Jenny Walton ASU Box 16706 Student deaths should be recognized To the Editor: In my years at Appalachian State, I have always enjoyed 'The Appala­ chian." Regardless of occasional attacks on the paper, I have always felt that the staff has done an outstanding job. Until now, I could never find fault with "The Appalachian." On July 28, 1991, two Appalachian students—Misti Triplet! and Whitney Hunter—were tragically killed in an auto accident. Upon publication of the first "Appala­ chian," I was appalled to find that not one article in the paper made mention of the deaths. These two women were not only members of the Appalachian State community, they were leaders of that community. I have only one question— Why were their deaths ignored? I realize that this letter will likely not get published, but that is not my intention. I wish only to prompt someone to give the women the recognition they deserve from us. James Lingle ASU Box 13794 Equality should be available for all To the Editor: Thank you, Tracy Tarlelon. Thank you for saying what so few are willing to say. Affirmative action has turned into reverse discrimination. I believe in total equality for all people; let's establish that before I leap into this any further. But it's true; people of less skill or knowledge who are a minority can expect to be hired over a non-minority if a quota system must be fulfilled. Exclusion from a certain opportunity due to race, color, or whatever, is called racial discrimination. So to exclude a white male from a job when he is more qualified due to a quota is called discrimination. Affirmative action in its truest form is a must—the prevention of discrimination. America is in for a rocky time with this topic. I think if we stop calling ourselves black, white, etc., and start calling ourselves Americans, then we are on the way to recovery. In response to MotTis While's article, I feel for you, no one should abuse another person for any reason. How­ ever, as you now know, I disagree with your stance on affirmative action. I am not hostile toward you as you stated in your article, "... creating a climate of hostility through opposition to affirma­ tive action..." I am not sure of your exact stance on this topic, so please respond in a future article whether you agree or disagree with me. In closing, please understand that I am not a racist. I simply believe in equality across the board. I also welcome any challenge or backing on this matter. After all, everyone deserves to be heard and should be encouraged to do so. Gregory Roush ASU Box 16329 Forest Service leadership faulty To the Editor: Something is wrong with the U.S. Forest Service leadership. They can't manage our forests properly due to a misleading plan they adopted 25 years ago. It can be likened to a disease in its effect. Call it "clearcut-itis." Ever since, they've been obsessed with stripping our forests. They promoted the spread of this infection to colleges and universities that prepare future foresters. Certain timber interests, long afflicted with this disease, have aided and supported the Forest Service leadership in its addiction and are confusing us with a $50,000,000 misinformation campaign. Their purpose: to cut the 5 percent left of our ancient forests at huge profits to themselves within the next 5 to 10 years using the befuddled Forest Service leadership to gain their end. Once it was the people and the Forest Service versus timberers. Now it is See LETTERS page K) �1SL The Appalachian Thurtfqv. Spprp^ff. if. / n n . Letters medication sojhat the Forest Service can survive. Continued from page 9 timberers and Forest Service versus the people. A tide of public concern is rising to stem this disease in its devastation with powerful medication to be prescribed by Congress. Previous prescriptions have failed because the Forest Service leadership refused to swallow the medicine that would return it to its former state of health. The Santa Claus syndrome, of practically giving away our trees, harvested at our expense, is also of great concern to people. In Indiana 120,000 people signed petitions and wrote thousands of letters, including congressmen and governors, calling for protection of biological diversity and regeneration of old growth. A poll of voters around the Hoosier National Forest showed 69 percent are so upset they want to ban all logging. The entire congressional delegation of Illinois is demanding the Forest Service stop being Santa Claus with below cost sales. Arkansas and Texas have asked a halt to clearcutting. South Carolina people are asking for a change in management. In North Carolina over 16,000 people and over a thousand businesses signed petitions in a short period of time to halt clearcutting. A number of Forest Service employees and supervisors, not willing to allow this disease to reach epidemic proportions, are organizing and asking the infected leadership to accept prescribed congressional I must add that a number of private forest growers with large and small forests are not infected with "clearcutitis." They are surviving low prices caused by Forest Service leadership direction. These forests are a joy to visit compared with the shambles present in our national forests. These many growers are not liquidators. They believe in a tomorrow for themselves and their children. Why can't this be true for our national forests? Grandfather and grandmother, we have the time. We love this land and want to leave it better for our children and grandchildren. We've seen the "timber locusts" consume our forest before. It doesn't have to happen to the last grand trees standing. Three bills in committee need support: HR 2501, HR 1969 and HR 842 to help kill the infection. Three congressmen to reach are Harold Volkmer, Ede la Garza, George Miller—House of Representa­ tives, Washington. D.C. 20015; and 3 senators: Dale Bumpers, Patrick Leahy and Wyche Fowler—Senate Office Building, Washington, D.C. 20010. Although our hands are tired and weary, won't you pick up a pen and write? Let's inspire them in Washington to a better vision so that remnants of our ancient forests do not become just a dream that our grandchildren and their children will not see. Your inspiration is needed to cure the USFS Leadership.

The infiri administers simple physical The budget for health services is af­ fected by the administration, which de­ cides how to allocate the fee money. Two years ago, the budget for the wellness program was taken from student health fees and the budget for the substance abuse program was deducted from stu­ dent health fees last year and this year. "About every two years there's an in­ crease in student health fees," Derrick said. But this year, fee increases, which many state-supported universities were counting on to offset inflation and the rising cost of health care were frozen. AS U independently decided not to raise student fees, including those which went toward health care due to the rising cost of tuition, Derrick said. However, he added that health services will probably ask for an increase in student health fees next year. Although some universities generate money by serving faculty and dependents as well as students, the ASU infirmary is availableonly to students. "Our main goal is to keep students in classes," said Der­ rick. The infirmary does not have time to see persons other than students. "We're seeing more students than we can easily see now," he said. Derrick acknowledges that some changes need to be made in order for the infirmary to run more smoothly. "We know that with three physicians we can see 30 students in an hour." According to Derrick, a minimum of 5,000 students can monetarily support one physician. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill employs 21 doc­ tors, and students pay a $110 health fee every semester. Among its 21 employees, the ASU in­ firmary employs three full-time physi­ cians and nine nurses. A pharmacist was also hired in recent yearsdue to changesin pharmacy laws. Derrick hopes that a parttime physician's assistant can be hired this winter and that the infirmary will employ two more care persons within the next two years. Mondays and Tuesdays are the infirmary's busiest days and 10 a.m. is one of the most popular times for students to use the facility. Sprained ankles seem to be the most common injury this fall, said Derrick. The ASU infirmary offers a wide vari­ ety of services to students including in­ patient and out-patient care. A 16 bed in­ patient facility is available and is most often used by mononucleosis, nausea and vomiting patients. Two advantages of in-patient care, Derrick explained, are that ill studentscan go to class and return to the infirmary. Students can stay in the infirmary over­ night and see a physician in the morning. Appatmcnian khoto by Keitfi Jackson ASU STUDENTS WAIT FOR MEDICINE: Students who receive the most expensive medicines, such as penicillin, from health services will have to pay for it this year. Students will be charged the amount that health services pays for the medicine. This charge is brought about in part because there has been an increase in the need for services offered by ASU health services.

For example, due to a de­ cline in the number of N.C. high school graduates, enrollment has been forced to increase its recruitment and create a new office of enrollment services. However, while several on-campus departments are currently researching the trends for the low enrollment figures, there is speculation about the causes. Across the nation, graduate enrollment figures are showing substantia] increases that have been attributed to the sluggish economy. More students are electing to attend graduate school due to a decline in the number of available job opportunities, Sharp said. However, ASU did not experience such "Typically, graduate students don't go an increase. Enrollment in the graduate straight through.

I ^^eam P'ant to begin renovations following emissions violations By JEFF REID Appalachian Staff Writer The Appalachian State University steam plant, parts of which date back to 1929, was cited this summer by the state of North Carolina for violation of Air Qual­ ity Control Standards, according to Dr. Ward Zimmerman, vice chancellor for business affairs. A study is underway to determine what effect the plant has on the surrounding area. "We really don't have any idea of just what the scope of the problem is, and therefore we can not yet define the scope of the solution," said Zimmerman. When the first results of the ongoing study come in, the university will hire a consultant to help determine the best course of action. Preliminary indications show the solu­ tion may include revamping the entire steam plant, including the underground steam tunnels, and may cost $25-30 mil­ lion, taking 10 years to complete. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill faced a similar situation two years ago with its steam plant, and was enabled by the state legislature to issue bonds to pay for fixing the problem. In a similar move this summer, the North Carolina General Assembly autho­ rized ASU to issue its own bonds to cover the costs of studying and fixing its own steam plant. Environmental concern over the steam plant is not new and did not come about just because the citation was issued. In fact, ASU lobbied for more than 10 years to get help from the state to refurbish the steam plant. Legislation was finally passed this summer and actually came before the air quality citation was issued. "This is the air we breath," said Zimmerman, "and if there is a problem with it, then we are interested in finding a solution, and finding one that will last for a long time." Although, Zimmerman said, it is gen­ erally agreed upon that the steam plant is in dire need of improvement, there is some question as to whether or not it is actually in violation of the air quality standards for which it was cited. The first phase of the university's study includes the purchaseof a weather station to determine how the weather in Boone disperses the emissions from the plant's smokestack. According to Zimmerman, the citation was supposed to take into account the weather conditions specific to Boone, but instead used a triangulation of surround­ ing cities' weather patterns to represent Boone's. Zimmerman noted there is a possibility that results of the new study in Boone will render the citation incorrect, but, regard­ less of the outcome, Zimmerman said the administration will remain committed to solving the problem that will remain. It is designed to convert water to steam using the heat from burning fossil fuels. The steam is then transported through underground steam tunnels to all of the buildings on campus where it is the pri­ mary source of heat. Most universities in cold climates and all of the members of the UNC system use steam to heat their campuses. It remains the most cost-efficient method when it is done properly. Due to the age of ASU's pipes, many do not have the proper insulation to retain heat and therefore create theneed for burning more fuel. The burning of more fuel, in turn,causes more emissions. Replacing the under­ ground pipes may be the most costly as­ pect of the refurbishment, but it will lead to a more efficient system in the long run, Zimmerman said. The bonds will be paid off in turn by three possible sources. The state will sup­ ply some money to pay off the bonds, but the rest of it will come from the sale of steam to two different groups. The first group is made up of the selfsupporting services on campus, such as food services, health services, and resi­ dence life. All of these programs already pay for the steam they use, but in the future the prices will probably increase. The other source of money may be proceeds from the sale of steam to private interests in the area surrounding campus. This would be a new concept for ASU's steam plant, but is currently working suc­ cessfully for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, according to Zimmerman. �The Appalachian. Tuesday.

"These are terrifying situations," she said. "People see their survival at stake. Dwelling on the bad gets in the way of what you need to survive." After finding a connection between The Stockholm Syndrome and battered women, Graham says Cincinnati researchers de­ cided to see how syndrome behav ior might relate to dating in general. "What's significant is that... we picked people off the street and what we found suggests that the dynamics of this are evasive and that every relationshipis more or less abusive," Graham said. Date rape is an example of the extreme result of that abuse, Graham said. On one hand, a woman might be pressured to have sej^but nothing happens. But in the most extreme case, a date rape could occur. "Pressure to have sex is normal," Gra­ ham said. But if the situation does result in a rape, "People usually deny the abuse just to cope with it." In a look at other research, Graham found one study that reported 25 to 35 percent of young women perceived vio­ lence toward them as a sign c. love.

The American Heart Association has sugges­ tions on how to make the most of the student's grocery dollar and cash in on good health at the same time. During Food Festival Week Sept. 2228, the ASU Wellness and Stress Management Center and the Office of Health Promotion will offer suggestions on how you can 'Trim the Fat, Cut Cholesterol for Life," while saving the food dollars. It's a week-long celebration of good nutri­ tion. "The fact is that foods which most often claim the biggest chunk of our grocery dollar are those which are highest in cholesterol and fat," said the Watauga County Affiliate of the American Heart Association. Most scientists agree that a high blood choles­ terol level furthers the development of heart and bloodvessel diseases. Saturated fat and cholesterol are found in all meat, fish, poultry, whole milk, cheese, butter and egg products. While moderate amounts of these foods are acceptable, if the quan­ tity is cut, both the pocketbook and the waistline will be better off for it. "Persons on a limited income—especially stu­ dents—should pay particular attention to how, where and when they shop," according to ASU's Wellness and Stress Management Center Coordi­ nator, KitOlson. "And, while there may be economy in numbers, these days there is also economy in shopping for one." The AHA suggests that persons shopping on a limited income, or for one, should pay particular attention to planning be fore they shop. Make a list. And, remember that buying portions greater than what you eat in a single meal may be a mistake, if you cannot properly store or freeze the leftovers. The AH A has these recommendations for stretch­ ing and saving food dollars: •Make a shopping list, and cross off these highcalorie, high-saturated fat foods which are low in nutrition. •Use foods c«r hand first. •Use discount coupons only if they are for things you need. •Shop at stores where they use unit pricing to help you choose from various brands and sizes. Where unit pricing is not available, calculate the price per ounce, or serving, by dividing the priceby the number of ounces/servings in the container. •Read the labels for ingredient and nutrition information. •Avoid impulse buying. Stick to your list. •Use moderate portions of low-fat meat and poultry and fish items and combine with dried beans, peas and lentils, which are also a good source of protein. •Buy fruit juices instead of fruit drinks, soft drinks or alcoholic beverages. •Peel vegetables carefully. Some thin-skinned varieties need only thorough washing. •Leftover seeded green pepper and onions may be wrapped and frozen for later use. •If lettuce is sold by the head, bu'^ the heaviest. •Buy skim or 1 percent low-fat milk rather than whole milk and cream. Use evaporated skim milk instead of cream. •Add your own fruit to plain low-fat yogurt for a variety of flavors. See SECURE page 6 By BETSY SPRINGER Appalachian Staff Writer Everyone has problems now and then, and it is good to know that there is always a computer one can talk to. Wait a minute! A computer? Yes, at Appalachian last spring anew serviceofthe Coun­ seling and Psychological Services Center was put into use.Its name is Uncle Sigmund, and in the two months of operation last year was used by over 7,000 students. Dr. Donald L. Sanz, who adopted the program from Cornell University, is pleased with the progress it has made. Uncle Sigmund, the first program of its kind in North Carolina, is a com­ puter counseling and information service available to students on any public computer on campus. Every counselor contributes to responses, result­ ing in each student getting an individual response to their query. When more serious problems arise, or whenever a student would rather talk to another human, the Counseling and Psychological Services Center is available. There are caring, friendly people who have devoted their lives to making sure students are as happy as possible. Itdoesn't mean a person has to be crazy or neurotic to visit the Counseling Center. Face it, living away from home for the first time in a completely new environment and having to develop new friend­ ships isn't an easy and stress-free transition.

In addition to these other programs, the Counsel­ ing Center operates abiofeedbacklaboratory, which is able to scientifically detect the effects of stress on the body. Everyone knows stress causes severe psychological and emotional problems, but it also has physiological repercussions. High blood pres­ sure and gastric disorders are two of the stressrelated illnesses that can be diagnosed at the Coun­ seling Center. For more information on the Counseling Center, support groups, or any ofthe programs offered, call 262-3180. There is also a 24-hour, seven-day-aweek emergency hotline, reachable at 264-2347. Opening this academic year again on campus are the Early Learning and Lucy Brockchild devel­ opment centers. Since the Lucy Brock Center opened about 40 years ago, and the Early Learning Center opened in 1968, these centers have served child development, home economics, psychology, elementary education and social work majors here on campus. The centers each enroll approximately 20 chil­ dren between the ages of three and five and serve university students by being academic laborato­ ries. The Lucy Brock Nursery works with three to four year olds and the Early Learning Center with four to five year olds. Both work to prepare a child for future school work and experiences through extensive preschool programs. The children come from all around the Boone community, with many coming from the families of students and univer­ sity faculty members. Besides being accredited by the National Asso­ ciation on Education of Young Children and hav­ ing an AA license from the state of North Carolina, the instructors have masters degrees in areas of early childhood development, speech therapy and special education. "But most important," said Joyce Stines, center director, "our instructors have experience, lots of experience." These directors lead their studentsdaily through numerous enrichment activities. These activities include: creative art, science and math (on a ] school level), music movement, language arts (c< puters), field trips, blocks, carpentry : manipulatives. What do parents think about the centers? T are ecstatic over them! "I loved it. It is the finest I've ever seen," < Sarah Carter, a mother of a Lucy Brock gradu "I cried on graduation day." Dr. Maksoud Feghali, from the university's 1 eign language department, likes "the close att tion to each individual. Also, with my office be in Sanford Hall, it is convenient. " Before entering the center, Feghali's Mario "couldn't even say computer, but now i an impossibility to keep him away from one." Feghali also noted that since the centers are v popular and spaces for enrollment can often hard to find, a parent considering thecenters sho "almost consider applying their child for thecer before they are even bom." The NAEYC said that in accredited early-chi hood programs one may see regular co munication with parents, enough adults to respc to individual children and a healthy and safe en ronment for children. These exemplary qualii can be found within the centers.Stine believes t "parents today are becoming more concerned ab quality child care programs," and she invites a one interested to stop by the centers and obse their activities from an unique observation roc For more information on the centers, Stine may reached in her office at 262-3006.

Maybe someone does have a problem that is pretty serious—substance abuse, an eating disor­ der, or an abusive family. The counselors are trained to handle these problems, too.

And they wonder where these greatly needed treasured green slips of paper can be found. Those who do not know should try student temporary work. Student temporary work is a non-need based work program on campus funded by state funds. Some of these funds are allocated while some are receipt supported. A portion of the allocated funds comes from Raleigh to the university. Appalachian then dis­ tributes the money to various departments on cam­ pus. Through ASU there is the work study program where the student earns minimum wage or better and uses the money to help pay for their education. Funds are also provided by different areas on campus. For example, Food Services uses a good portion of the money it generates for student em­ ployees. The bookstore also uses part of its profits for student wages. Many students may have already heard about student temporary work, yet they do not know where to go or how to choose a job on campus. Assistant Director of Career Development Center for On-Campus Employment, Wes Weaver, has established an on-campus employment center lo­ cated in I.G. Greer. Weaver recently transferred from the Financial Aid Office which enabled students to have a place to discuss job opportunities. Students who seek on-campus employment should contact Weaver, who then checks to see if any jobs are available. Weaver directs the student to the area or department on campus in need of a student worker. If no . os are available. Weaver places the student on a waiting list until a job opening emerges. "Each employee is a very important part of a team that works in the library, food services, or wherever," Weaver said. "Most departments on campus would not be able to operate without those student employees." Belk Library employs a large variety of students while the Student Union is staffed almost entirely by students. Food Services, the largest employer on campus "probably employs around 400 stu­ dents," commented Weaver. Students that are interested in student temporary work may be frightened of maintaining a good CPA while working. Weaver says working on campus can be an advantage. "Employees work with our students around aca­ demic situations," he said. To leam more about student temporary work, call 262-2879. �The Appalachian. Tuesday. Sentemhpr 24 1QQ1 Baseball cards refine with By SCOTT NICHOLSON Appalachian Staff Writer Fifteen years ago, you could see a few drink bottles and buy a pack of sports cards at the comer drug store. You bought 15 cards and a brick of gum for less than . a penny each. They were fun to look at, trade, and stick in your bicycle spokes. Today, thosesame cards in mint condition could be worth hundreds of dollars. The hobby of sports card collecting has grown into a $500 million annual indus­ try. Mirroring the rise in athlete's salaries ; and television exposure, the popularity of sports stars has skyrocketed the value of their cardboard depictions. Once, kids were the main buyers of these smallerthan-life reproductions of their favorite heroes. Now people from all age groups and all walks of life collect and invest in sports cards. The first cards were printed in the late 1800s and packaged with tobacco prod­ ucts. At the turn of the century, candy and gum manufacturers began including cards in their products. These cards of the "Golden Age" were often still photos or crude color drawings. The post-World War II period ushered in the modemeraof card collecting. Basketball and hockey cards made their appearance alongside their baseball and football counterparts. The Topps Company emerged in the 1950s as the major manufacturer of sports cards and held near-exclusive reign until 1980, when Fleer and Donruss entered the field. Upper Deck made a splash in 1989 with a colorful baseball card set that changed the pace of the industry. Collec­ tors were willing to pay a higher price for better-quality cards. Today, there are a dozen major producers of sports cards, as well as a wide variety of price guides and magazines devoted to the hobby. The current rage is collecting the rookie, or first issued, card of specific players. A Mickey Mantle rookie card will cost you nearly $20,000 while the first Michael Jordan card books at $800. Many collec­ tors speculate by purchasing a large num­ ber of cards for each new player, hoping their values will rise. This is a hit-or-miss strategy; as any general manager can tell you, few of these highly-touted players live up to expectations. The value of a specific card is based on the player shown on the card, the card's age and scarcity, and most importantly, its condition. A 1910 Honus Wagner card recently sold for a record $451,000. Pur­ chased by hockey superstar Wayne Gretzky, this version is the finest of only 40 known to exist The card was origi­ nally released with cigarette advertising on the back, and Wagner, a non-smoker, halted production early in the printing. Another interesting factor that affects card values is a player's off-the-field per­ formance. Bob Uecker's rookie card sells for over $100 not for his below-average major league career but for his visibility as a television pitchman. Bill Bradley and Jack Kemp, members of Congress and exprofessional athletes, have high values on their cards. Pete Rose, baseball's all-time hits leader, is now considered a risky card investment due to his gambling charges and prison sentence for tax evasion. The wave of the future appears to be "premium" glossy cards with superb ac­ tion photography printed on high-quality paper. Most major companies have re­ leased more expensive brands to augment their regular issues. Another recent fea­ ture is randomly-inserted cards that are valuable due to their scarcity. Two ex­ amples are "art" cards, full-color draw­ ings by professional painters, and cards personally signed by a star player. One sign of the hobby's grow ing popu­ larity is the proliferation of card shops. Boone now has five shops that deal in sports cards and collectibles. The Card Comer in Boone Mall, Bats and Balls in New Market Center, Twentieth Century Sports Cards in the Boone Antique Mall, Sports Cards Unlimited on Poplar Grove Road and the Stadium on Pine Run Road. Like all hobbies, sports card collecting should be enjoyable. Though cards have no intrinsic value and there's no guaran­ tee on any card's market performance, all signs indicate favorable long-termgrowth in both card values and the number of I collectors. With a little research and luck, I this hobby can be quite profitable.Today's I cardboard heroes may be tomorrow's tu- I ition payment.

ASU fell to 2-2 with the loss, while the Dukes upped their record to 2-1. "I can't say enough about James Madison," ASU Head Coach Jerry Moore said after the con­ test. "They've done a terrific job all year. Rip (Scherer; JMU head coach) has given them conti­ nuity and stability." The Dukes were dominant on offense, grinding out 351 yards on the ground and 519 yards of total offense. James Madison averaged seven yards a play in the contest, compared to just over four for the Mountaineers. Despite the numbers, Scherer felt Saturday was not his team's best offensive effort. "We played ugly on offense," Scherer said. "Our offense wasn't what we needed it to be. But, it's nice to be able to put 31 points on the board and win when you play ugly." Junior tailback Kenny Sims rushed 15 times for a career-high 187 yards and a touchdown for James Madison, while fullback Elvin Brown added 56 yards and another score. Quarterback Eriq Wil­ liams completed 10 of 20 passes for 159 yards and two touchdowns and ran for an extra 42 yards. "I was fearful of their backs all week," Moore said. "I told our squad we wouldn't face as good of backs as these all year. I was very impressed." The Mountaineers were paced by junior quarter­ back D.J. Campbell, who completed 25 of 47 attempts for 223 yards . Sophomore wide receiver Ray Gama snagged a career-best 11 receptions for 100 yards. James Madison limited Appalachian to just 84 yards on the ground on 27 carries. Freshman tailback Chip Hooks garnered 84 of those yards on his 17 carries and scored the Mountaineers only touch­ down of the afternoon in the fourth quarter. James Madison raced to a 7-0 lead before the crowd of 13,467 got settled in their seats. On the fifth play from scrimmage, Sims took a pitch out from Williams and dashed 61 yards down the right sideline for a touchdown. A critical juncture for the Mountaineers came in the second quarter, with the Dukes holding a 10-0 lead with less than two minutes to go in the half. ASU linebacker John Fuller sacked Williams for a 13-yard loss, bringing up a tliird-and-28 situation. The App defense was expecting a Williams' pass, but instead, Sims burst 26 yards on a draw to keep the drive alive. Two plays later, Williams connected with David McLeod on a 41-yard scor­ ing strike, giving James Madison a 17-0 lead at intermission. "That was just a good tlirow and a good catch," Moore explained. "I thought we were in good shape defensively." "We're fortunate we have some weapons to spread the ball around," Scherer commented."We didn't throw the ball particularly well, but we have receivers who can make the big plays." The Dukes stockpiled 333 total yards in the first half alone. Sims gained 157 of JMU's 211 yards on the ground in the opening frame.

CRAVER Appalachian Staff Writer In years past, the ASU Lady Mountaineer volleybaTOam . alobg with the remainder oTtheSbuthem Conference, has ended the season with the SC Tournament. With the help of ASU Head Coach TraciMcGee, things will end somewhat differently this season. For the first time in the history of the conference, the tournament champions will experience postseason play at the National Invitational Vol­ leyball Championships to be held in Dayton, Ohio at Wright State University. Comparable to the National Invitational Tournament in basketball, the SC was able to obtain an automatic bid to the NIVC by strengthen­ ing their regular season schedules featuring more matches against NCAA Division I teams, increas­ ing their overall win-loss percentages, andexpress­ ing the desire and will to become a stronger confer- McGee played a vital role in the obtaining of the NIVC bid as she made the selection com­ mittee aware of the strength and dedication tliroughout the SC. "I made them aware of the fact tKafthe SC officials, coaches and players are going to do whatever it takes to make volleyball strongenough in the conference to get a bid. We wanted to get in and we were willing to make the com­ mitment, but we were unsure what it was. Now, we have proved our commitment and obtained the bid," McGee said. According to McGee, the entire bid revolves around strengthening of regular sea­ son schedules."In the past, we have played NAIA schools like Lenoir-Rhyne, but now we are focusing on NCAA Division I oppo- nents like Duke, Clemson and the University of South Carolina," McGee said. If the SC representative to the NTVC is able to perform well thereby securing the bid for sev ei al conseculiv e years, it would be tlie first step to obtaining an automatic bid to the NCAA Championship. "We have been talking for years about how to get an NCAA bid and competing in the NTVC will improve our chances. The year the SC rep­ resentative goes to the NIVC and does well will be the point we'll have a shot at an NCAA bid," McGee said. SC members do not expect NIVC competition to be easy, but everyone is willing to work hard and continue scheduling tougher teams to increase the quality of the pro­ gram, McGee commented. Traci McGee "It may take several years for us to reach our big goal (an automatic NCAA bid), and we don't expect an easy road, but if it wasn't a fight, it wouldn't be athletics," McGee said. T wenty schools will beiepresehted in the NIVC, which is in its third year of competition. McGee feels the Lady Apps have "as good of a chance as anyone else this year" in win­ ning the conference tournament and capturing the NIVC spot for the SC. Regular season champions last year, the Lady Apps fell to eventual champ Furman, in the finals of the SC Tourna­ ment. "The team who gets the NIVC bid will be the one with the toughest mental stability. The talent across the SC is closer than ever this year and it will all come down to the squad with the most momen­ tum," McGee said. Another factor playing in the favor of App State will be the tournament location, as the Lady Moun­ taineers will host the SCToumey on Nov. 15-17 in Varsity Gym. pact. part of that is understandable, o team that ranked third in the nation 'defense last season, held the MountainOense to a lone touchdown in ASU's 9-3 ( Clemson, a team that ranked first in the Lady Mountaineers take three of four ®in total defense last season, held ASU Ss in Death Valley, a place where some "lion's best teams find scoring virtually ^sible.

Basically, if it has a palpable rhythm, then I like it. That's not the point of anything I plan on saying in the near future. But before I even begin to search for a focus (or lack thereof),I would like to share a quote from my girlfriend. We were walking back from class, and she told me what music is. "Joel, music is anything that feeds a person's soul or spirit." I know that you don't want to listen to transcripts of our conversa­ tions, so I will get around to getting to a point as soon as possible. It all started on Tuesday. Well, it actually started way earlier, but in order to tell the story, 1 will use Tuesday as a reference point. I had borrowed some music from one of the guys on my hall, class was over, and I decided to give it a spin. 1 put the disc on, and started getting into the By BRIAN WINKLER Appalachian Staff Writer I think we should do away with eleva­ tors unless everyone can learn how to use them correctly. It seems likeno one knows how, and if they do, they always forget in the heat of the moment. Part of the prob­ lem, I think, is in the faculty design of the elevators themselves. How many times does this happen a day: someone presses the call button to tell the elevator he or she wants to ride. The person waits, but the elevator never appears. Finally, he or she can't wait any longer. The person frantically mashes the button again, to tell the elevator that it better hurry up, or he or she is going to be mad. Does this second press have any significance? Actually, no. This is a nice safety feature. What if the elevator did actually speed up when you pressed the call button a second time? What would your reaction be if you were riding the elevator from the seventh floor down to To the Editor: Ve .a Sf. ,.s £1991 Mark Weitzman I the first floor, and someone on the first floor decided he or she had waited long enough for the elevator? The person mashes the call button again, and the harmless elevator that you were riding at a nice, steady pace, suddenly triples its speed in a mad dash to the bottom? Not a pretty picture, is it? I think to avoid this confusion, elevator designersshould have made the button disappear after it has been pressed. This would do away with that "I have to press it again" feeling. Here's something else to think about. When someone wants to go up from the third floor, why does he or she mash both the up and the down buttons? True, there is a 50 percent chance that the person can board the elevator sooner, but it may be going down. That journey to these extra floors won't save the person a bit of time. And isn't that what the thing is for? Sav­ ing you time and energy so you can carry on with life? Elevator designers didn't do too hot a job when they designed the outside of the elevator, but they really screwed up when they put buttons on the inside. They are the most confusing of all. They have offi­ cial labels, but wouldn't it be great if they were more appropriately labeled for ev­ eryday use? Who in the wodd has ever needed to "Emergency Stop?" Wouldn't it be better if we could just "Wait for A Friend?" Okay then, let's change the la­ bel. Does the door always open when you press the "Door Open" button? Instead, it should be the "Door Stay Open" or the "Let Me Finish Talking" button. That is all people use it for anyway. No w the most abused button of all: "Alarm." I guess you would be able to use it during an emer­ gency stop, but the emergency stop button automatically sounds the alarm. Good thing too, because in the middle of an emergency it wouldn't be convenient to press two buttons at the same time. In all honesty, I think this button should be labeled "Be Really Cool," because when­ ever someone presses it, thisliuge burden is lifted from his or her shoulders and immediately the person feels soooooo cool. Too bad the person can't hear what everyone else thinks about him or her.' I've also noticed that this "Be Really! Cool" tendency is most prevalent on Fri-', day and Saturday nights, after afew beers." 1 don't know, maybe people think that' with alcohol and the elevator bell, they.' will be irresistible. To cure this feeling, we should make baseball hats with eleva- J tors bells mounted right on them. Just to j let everyone know how cool the wearer is, they could go off every time the wearer took a drink. Back to the elevator's design, and now , I'm down to the last button:"DoorClose." r Sometimes, after climbing into the eleva­ tor, you turn around and see the person you have been trying to avoid heading straight for you. No sweat, you say, as you tap the "Door Close." But sometimes the door doesn't close immediately. Looks • likef ou've got another passenger for this trip. Oh well, maybe they '11 be really cool and press the bell. r Editor's note: Winkler is a sophomore •' majoring in broadcasting.

But, yet again 1 was wrong. People are people, and it was silly for me to try to force my opinions upon them before we were able to get acquainted. My roommate had his tastes in music, and I had mine. Unfortunately, they were not the same. A few minor skirmishes arose from that fact, but that is not the point that I am aiming for. What I want to say is that in college, everyone has his or her own choices about what is and is not groovy, and somewhere there is a guy holding a big fat check he got from coming up with the idea of labelling the music I like as "college music." Labels. That's another topic in and of itself. When somebody asks what type of music you like, what do you say? Some people give a category like rap, country, indi»trial, or pop. But I think those categories serve a$ limitations in more ways than one. They set up bounds aries that constrict one to that style, and that one exclu­ sively, without allowing for any sort of diversity or variety. Such titles draw lines which say, "I like the music m ade by thepeople in this sphere and any other kind is no) as good as the music I enjoy." I know when people are discussing musical tastes, all of this covert meaning is not intended, but at the same time, they are implied nonethe, less. I guess most people out there like abit of everything! I knew I was not alone when I said I like anything that has a palpable rhythm. So I guess we all like a bit of every^ thing. When somebody asks you what type of music you like, be aware of the implications that are going on around you. I personally feel that all types of sound created have the potential to be considered communication. And i guess that what I am trying to say, yet again is: Think fo* #rurself. '• only way into Boone is by car; and the roads are a far cry from major -ghfares.

I turned it down and eventually off, but the seeds of random thought had been planted. When I was a freshjnan in high school, my two favorite groups were Metallica and The Cure. Whatever that means, 1 don't know, but during that year of my life, I discovered a revolutionarysound which has opened bot'i my eyes and ears: college radio. When I was 15, that term really meant something. It meant this was the kind of music the older kids were into. It meant bands like The Dead Milkmen, Sonic Youth and Black Flag would stand up for what rock and roll repre­ sented and never sell out. But like I said before, when I was 15, the mystic phrase "college radio" actually had a meaning. The closer I got to graduation, the clearer the facts about college radio became. While still in high school, I spent some time on the campuses of UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke University.Those experiences showed me that the popular types of music still existed and were in reasonably good health, but at the same time, I learned that college radio may actually be the musical godsend I had hoped for. I guess if I had looked around me, the facts would have been apparent. The people to whom I had looked up weren't listening to the iSex Pistols, The Doors, Pink Floyd or even The Grateful Dead. I was a bit dismayed, but not much because I had amassed a decent sized tape collection which a sampling of most music categories. I know I can be idealistic at times, and my first semester was probably the highest point of idealism in my life. I was sure that when I came to college, most I am a second-year senior biology major. Presently I'm doing an indepen­ dent study that requires a great deal of field work and about three times as much lab work. A couple of weeks ago I was in Rankin Science Building doing some lab work which had to be done that night because the water samples I was testing would not give accurate measurements if stored overnight. By the time I finished doing the tests it was 4:30 a.m. Then it was time to walk back to East (Residence Hall). I had a can of mace, but still did not feel comfortable walking back to the dorm. I used a courtesy phone in Rankin to call security to get the number for Appala­ chian Escort Service. Much to my dismay, no one answered the phone after several rings and more than one try. I called security again and had a nice, long talk with the woman at security. She explained how foot patrol went off duty at 1 a.m., and her supervisor would not allow "security" officers to escort anyone unless it was a medical emergency. Then she told me that all the officers on duty were trafficking the campus — or something to that effect. She apologized for not being able to help me even though she would have liked to. We hung up and I called my boyfriend to come get me, but he did not hear the phone ring. Since no one could help me, I went back to lab, put some chairs together, and went to sleep — as well as you can sleep on wooden chairs with a .luorescent light in your face. 1 twisted and turned until 6:30 a.m. when I woke up freezing. I couldn't go back to "sleep," and every joint in my body was stiff. I figured at that time of day, i.e. close to daybreak, I'd have a better chance of getting back to my room safely. So 1 put on my bookbag, grabbed my can of mace and started walking back to the dorm so 1 could take a shbwer before my eight o'clock class — which consequently. 1 missed. I hope you can understand my point — I was in a bad situation, tried to get out of it, couldn't, and therefore, suffered the conse­ quences. In the Sept. 12 issues of "The Appalachian," Roy Tugman, director of public safety and security, made a comment about a girl that had had an assault attempted against her the previous Santrday at 3 a.m. He said, "I'm not saying it's all the girl's fault, but maybe the incident could have been avoided if she had been walking with a friend." As a result, Tugman said security would be beefed up in all areas on campus. Mr. Tugman, maybe she did not have a choice, as I did not, therefore, making none of the situation her fault. I also wonder why something like this has to happen before security will be "beefed up." The reason I stayed in lab that night was because of Mr. Tugman's lack of direction in making the campus safe enough for me to feel secure, even with a can of mace, to walk from Rankin to East. How busy were all the officers at 4:30 a.m. that not one of them could take five minutes to escort me home? And, why was campus escort service not in service? I've spent enough time at this school that by now I should feel comfortable, but I don't. If someone could tell me why this is so, I'd appreciate it. Joanne Konstantopoulos ASU Box 11790 Band clarifies past discrepancies To the Editor: When our band's (The Scene) gig that was scheduled for Aug. 22 at the Klondike Cafe was cancelled, 1 decided to remain silent concerning this issue and just let things die down. But after reading thei: (The Klondike Cafe) letter in the Sept. 10 issue of "The Appala­ chian," my mind has been changed. Certain problems raised in this letter are a little one-sided and need further clarification. The author states that for the last six months the Klondike has received numerous letters explaining the illegality of, and the safety hazards posed by, placing flyers on utility poles. They claim that their "plea" for other bands to stop this have been ignored. Our band has been playing in the town of Boone for over two years now, and we have never been informed of this problem by the Klondike or any other club. This also holds true for our socalled "X-rated" flyers as well. The Klondike said they asked us not to put these flyers up, but the fact of the matter is, we were never told such a thing. It was only after the Klondike received letters from the university, New River Light & Power and numerous phone calls from offended citizens, that our band is accused of ignoring their pleas not to put up these flyers. It has never been our intention to cause problems for the Klondike, although Iheir letter would seem to suggest otherwise. To me it appears that the Klondike is trying to present itself as an establishment that doesn't support this kind of advertisement, and therefore justify its good standing within the town of Boone. I have no complaint about this. What bothers me is that in the process of redeeming themselves to the community they shine a very disagree­ able light upon our Band. The explanation you give for the cancellation of our gig, that our flyers represented a "safety hazard" and needed to be removed from the utility poles, I find totally absurd. The real reason is that the picture on the flyers offended quite a few people. Many other bands that have played this club have put flyers on utility poles that violated New River Light & Power's "standard" for safety, but their shows were not cancelled. Try as they might to avoid it, the conclusion drawn from all See LETTERS page 10 �1IL The Appalachian. Tuesday. Sentemhrr 24 1QQ1 V Letters Continued from page 9 tof this is apparent: Our music and our band have become a victim to censor­ ship. I'm not accusfrig the Klondike of Censorship for it is obvious where the tensorship is coming from, those that jvield financial power in the town of Boone. The Klondike just happened to f>e caught in the middle of these £nhappy events and so acted in the best interest of their business. We respect that decision and desire no ill feeling between our band and the Klondike, (.ike I stated above, my only complaint is the negative way in which their letter presented our band. This was both unnecessary and unfair. , The problem the Klondike seems to ljave with the "hearsay" that Mr. Williams relied on for his articles in the Aug. 29 issue of "The Appalachian" is partly their own fault. I personally told the owner of the Klondike that a story about this situation would be written in The Appalachian. He expressed concern that this might make his business look bad, so I suggested he give the paper a call to tell his side of the story and set the record straight. It would seem that the call was never made. As for New River Light & Power's claim that these flyers represent a safety hazard, I would be interested to see a list of all the workers that have been injured on the job due to these flyers. Also included should be the nature and extent of the injuries and the medical attention that was received. This would alleviate some of my (and other's) skepticism regarding your claim. Since we live "in a town where not many people have the same tastes as you do," and Our posters were viewed as "obscene" and "tasteless," I'd like to leave the thoughts of someone who seems to possess a little more insight and intelligence regarding the nature of these moral judgments: "What a time experiences as evil is usually an untimely echo of what was formally experienced as good—The atavism of a more ancient ideal." — F. Nietzsche, "Beyond Good and Evil." See you at the next gig. Chip Cooper (The Scene) SE "TIPSY TAXI" SERVICE. [DON'T DRIVE DRUNK. owwwwi CONGRATULATIONS! fflfflODiO1?

ASU wasn't the only school whoexpe­ rienced drops in their occupancy percent­ ages, however. Of the 14 University of North Carolina system schools surveyed, 11 of which had figures available, six experienced losses in the amount of students living in oncampus housing after no shows were de­ clared. Four universities maintained the same percentage, and Appalachian was the only school to increase its occupancy, from 98 percent to 98.4 percent. However, unlike other universities, ASU resident assistants have roommates. If occupancy was computed like the other schools thatconsider RA rooms as singles. the designed occupancy would be 100.6 percent. Increases in occupancy usually result after no shows are declared because schools guarantee more students housing than available space, Reid said. To determine the amount of students to overbook, Reid looks at figures from years past to determine the number of students who will withdraw from the university. Except for this year, those figures have been rather accurate. For the 1990-91 school year, 44 stu­ dents were declared no shows. This year, that number more than doubled, jumping to 95. Reid said that if residence life had been able to more accurately predict the actual trend in the housing situation this year, "we would have gone deeper into the waiting list and not discouraged as many people as we did." "My only regret is that we didn't com­ mit rooms to more p>eople," he added. However, the alternative to slightly overbooking accomodations sometimes results in students having to sleep in makeshift circumstances, which occurred at ASU in the fall of 1989. That year 71 students slept on cots in residence hall lobbies until housing became avail­ able. To prevent students from having to sleep in makeshift conditions while also containing the number of vacancies, Reid hopes to implement a system similiar to the one North Carolina State University uses. According to Reid, NCSU overbooks rooms for the number of students and arranges for them to be accomodated in local hotels until no shows can be de­ clared and rooms can be reassigned. "We'd be doing students a disservice if we overbooked and the students had to live in the overflow accomodations for more than a few nights," Reid said. Besides financial constraints, other rea­ sons that students reserved residence hall spiace and failed to cancel in writing var­ ied. Some students transferred to other schools while others had special circum­ stances in their family, such as unex­ pected illnesses. The survey also gave residence life a chance to compare on-campus housing rates with the other UNC institutions. ASU was the third least expensive, charg­ ing $650 pier semester. Pembroke State University was the cheapiest at $555 per semester with Winston Salem State Uni­ versity following at $575. Fayetteville State University charged $879.50, the most for a double room in the state.

The office of enrollhas been created for recruit""Ptovement on retention and 'ates. Lp" °^lce will bring a greater ^ c°ordination among units on "fat involved with enrollment and retention," said Dr. Bill Ward, assis­ tant vice chancellor of academic affairs. "Creation of this office is in response to a need perceived by Appalachian to recruit good students and retain and graduate them as expeditiously as pessible." The office of enrollment services is a combination of different offices that will work together in order to improve faculty communication. These offices include Appalachian's admissions office, the registrar's office, the office of orientation, the learning assistance pirogram and the core studies pirogram, once known as the advisement branch of the General Col­ lege. The financial aid office will also work closely with the office of enroll­ ment. Office of enrollment services have been used by other universities, that have suf­ fered from decreasing numbers in high school graduates, to keep enrollment and retention rates up and graduation rates high. Ward said. Appalachian's persistence rate, or the percentage of students that have gradu­ ated from ASU or are still enrolled at ASU after six years, is third in the University of North Carolina system with a 64.6percent rate to North Carolina State University with a 71.6 percent persistence rate and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's 83.6 percent rate. There is atransferrateof approximately 10.3 percent at Appalachian and Ward said the new enrollment office services will work vigorously to keep theserates to a minimum.

Chancellor John Thomas welcomed the senators and spoke briefly on the topic of student in­ volvement. Thomas told of the University of North Carolina System's Student President, Daryl Ghent, appointment to the Board of Governors. He spoke of the historic sig­ nificance of the appointment, pointing out that the Board of Governors' decisions affect all students in the 16 state-sup­ ported schools, and that now students have a voice in those decisions. Dr. Greg Blinding, vice chancellor of student affairs, discussed several topics, including the budget. "We will be proposing a $140 increase in student fees for the 1992-93 school year," Blinding said. The $140 increase does not include possible increases in the cost of room and board, but reflects the administration's decision to delay a $170 increase in fees proposed for the 1991-92 year. pool of potential high school graduates. Appalachian continues to do well in get­ ting its share of qualified students. "We feel we can do even better," Ward said. "A third of the students who take the SAT in North Carolina have their test scores sent to Appalachian." Another factor the office of enrollment services will deal with is theeffects of the state legislature and UNC General Ad­ ministration on their goal to decrease high transfer rates and increase gradua­ tion rates.

Appalachian will square off against non-conference opponent James Madison Saturday at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1:30 p.m. * Apptfchltn Photo by Mcolo Outnn APPS OPEN SC SLATE: Appalachian State's soccer team dropped their first two non-conference games of the season before opening their Southern Conference slate with a 4-1 victory over VMI last Friday at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Appalachian State's soccer team opened their conference schedule last Friday against VMI in Kidd Brewer Stadium and rolled to a 4-1 victory. The win moved ASU's overall record to 1-2 on the young season and 1-0 in the Southern Confer­ ence. The team had a positive attitude going into the game. Rudi Schmoll, Appalachian forward, re­ marked, "Expectations were high because it was the home opener and our first conference game." In addition to the excitement of it being their fust Conference game, the Mountaineers also had the memory of their skillful playing against Wake Forest last week. Appalachian started the game with a slight de­ fensive lapse in the first five minutes of the game which led to VMI's only goal.Team captain David Terry scored the first goal for Appalachian, draw­ ing the team even at 1-1. Alex Herring and Brian Cone also scored for the Mountaineers in the first half to give ASU a 3-1 lead at intermission. Schmoll scored in the last 10 minutes of the game to ice the contest for Appala­ chian. "We took our time and were patient with the ball and with our attack," Schmoll said. Terry also commented that "They (VMI) domi­ nated the game for 15 to 20 minutes. Then we started playing like we knew we could." In spite of the score, ASU had a hard time against VMI. "That game was rough!" commented team member Bobby Martin."They tried to take us out of the game by playing rough." One Keydet starter was slapped with a red card for his overly rough plays. The game against Vanderbilt last Sunday was not as successful for the Mountaineers, however. "We looked disappointing," commented Schmoll. Vanderbilt scored within the first five minutes of the game to take a 1-0 lead.Terry scored to knot the game at 1-1. The Mountaineers remained even with Vanderbilt until the last half when Vanderbilt scored again, leaving the score 2-1. Appalachian fell to 1-3 with the loss. Schmoll feels confident about the upcoming conference game against Furman. "Our chances (of winning) are good. Furman hasn't played any strong teams yet like we have," he com­ mented. With a one-week lapse between the Vanderbilt game and the upcoming game against the Univer­ sity of South Carolina, Schmoll also believes that the team will be "looking to train really hard" this week to prepare for the nationally ranked Game­ cocks. With upcoming games against two teams ranked in the top 20 nationally, Martin comments, "We have a better chance of winning a lot more games in the month of October."The next game will be at South Carolina on Sunday, Sept. 22 at 2 p.m. The Apps will then travel to the University of North Carolina on Sept. 25. Schmoll sums up the team's overall progress up to the game against Vanderbilt by commenting, "We're better than our record shows. We're a young team and we're working things out" �3- The Appalachian.

Srntrmh*r 19 1091 Lady Apps begin golf season By WILL ROTHSCHILD Assistant Sports Editor Appalachian State opened its 1991 fall women'sgolfcampaign Sept. 14-15 at the -^ongwood Invitational in Faimville, Va. ASU placed fifth out of five teams over the two day weekend tournament. Appalachian HeadCoach David Osmer, despite the disappointing season-opening showing, remains optimistic concerning a number of things about his team. First on the list is the presence of lone senior Pam Barringer. Barringer finished • with the top ASU score last weekend and * will be counted on to shoulder the leaderShip burden this season. f' "Pam is my only senior and I'm count' ing on her for a lot of the leadership," Osmer said. "She is important to the team because she is is expected to be the leader this year." • Osmer also pointed to the return of number-three seed Amy Mauser as a plus. - Mauser was forced to miss the Long wood Invitational due to a strained tendon in her left arm, a serious injury foraright-handed golfer. Mauser, one of three sophomores on the team expected to play crucial roles this season, is expected to be ready for the James Madison Invitational Sept. 28-29. - Barringer shot 81 and 90 to finish with 171 for the tournament. Wesley Anne Hobbs was next for ASU, shooting 88 and 92 for a 180 total. LesleeGainey fired a 97 and 96 for a 193, and Mary Lytton shot 98 and 99 for a 197. "Pam played well the first day, but had a poor round the second day. The players know they have to practice and they know (hey have to improve,"Osmer said. "But, they can play better than they did last weekend and they will play better than that. I think things will fall into place, and they will have a good year." That good year could start at the James Madison Invitational. According to Osmer, "That golf course is fairly wide open and it is hard to get in trouble." The tournament will be held in Staunton, Va. While there is no conference tourna­ ment for ASU to look ahead to this year, Osmer explained that by as early as next season that could all change. "Hopefully s 5ave the rainforests... a n d h e t next year we should have a conference tournament," Osmer said."At the present time, Furman and our program are the only two who have Southern Conference teams. Some other schools are adding teams and so next year there could be a tournament for the players to shoot for. Right now their major target is the goals they have for themselves. Individually, they are forced to measure themselves against the goals they have set" p a l m t r e e s ! ! EE A LIFEGUARD WITNESS WEAR 101.

Has anyone else ever noticed how each network news program has its own musical theme? The purpose of the music is for entertain­ ment. Do we watch the news to be entertained or in­ formed?

Of course, that measure was more than a the programs—oh, well). Public television also provides little drastic; but now, the pendulum has swung too far in the best news programs on TV, for example, the "MacNeil- the opposiS; direction. I won't mention whatcan now been Lehrer News Hour," on which the reporters discuss each shown on television regarding sex—we've all seen it. But I will mention how much profanity manages to slip into prime time these days. Characters on shows such as "Murphy Brown" and "Cheers" manage to slip in a few four-letter words without being caught. Prime time shows are shows that some children as young as six sit down and watch with their parents or alone. Should they be exposed to profanity, violence, and sex? Most everyone has seen MTV and knows what's on it—beyond a shadow of a doubt PG-13 and R-rated material. But that's OK as long as you know what you're watching. I'll just add that television has taken over America such that now we aren't even satisfied listening to music—we have to watch it. Tele vision has also managed to greatly influence, if not take over, education. Children today, television children, are used to being entertained by constantly moving, col­ orful images and music. They are used to switching their focus quickly from one colorful musical scene to another. As a result, their attention spans are drastically shorter than those of children of pre-television days. They expect to be constantly entertained, and teachers find it more difficult to get them to sit still and pay attention to a lesson. As a result, elementary school children's educations de­ pend more and more on television. Programs such as "Sesame Street" and "321 Contact" are being imple­ mented into some classrooms. These are excellent pro­ grams, but should be reserved for after school hours. PBS has taken to showing them during school hours, and some teachers will turn them on because the programs are educational and the children will sit still for an hour and watch. Even Little Golden Books, popular among preschool children, are now on videotape. What happened to the intrinsic value of parents reading aloud to their children? It takes very little lime and the worth is so great. Nothing can substitute for the bond that forms when a parent takes a child onto his or her lap and reads aloud from a favorite book, especially not plopping the child in front of the videotape and leaving the room. We have become a nation of robots controlled by a television god. Everything from our sensitivity to world issues to our daily habits has become centered around and controlled byTV. Certainly, television has some excellent programs, and, for those screen buffs, television shows are a great way to escape reality once in a while. But with the average American escaping into a screen world (with little or no contact with the real world) four hours a day, "once in a while" has clearly become too often. When we spend one-fourth of our waking hours staring at a box with a screen and antenna on it, we are no longer just taking advantage of a very entertaining and informative me­ dium—we are letting it control us.

Westmoreland's presentation. On Sept. 5 Lt. Gen. Thomas Kelly presented a lecture which in many re­ spects was rather similar to that of Westmoreland's. The reason is very simple: both lectures pursued much the same goals. Kelly's lecture heralded the pride of America that has just been re­ gained. Our speaker based the American success on three points: theexcellent lead­ ership that elaborated feasible plans, the soldiers who carried out what they had been told, and finally, the diplomacy that operated before and after the war. Perhaps, the last one out of the three "legs" bore the brunt: members of diplo­ macy paved the way lor tanks with the bricks of law and justice. When there seemed no other solutions were left. Presi­ dent George Bush ordered warfare started against Iraq. Before, during and since theend of war, many political scientists have questioned whether the American government had done everything to avoid this war. In the afternoon panel program, Jesse Taylor pointed out tc the significance of the first move—"If the United States had not moved first, Saddam Hussein might have moved first. Could he not become a threat to the entire world? Can a country with one-twentieth the population of the United States be a serious threat to the world? Maybe not, but I do not know." So, once America was forced into the war, it was to fight like a lion, as it did. Kelly was speaking about justified war. Although Saddam Hussein killed many Kuwaiti citizens, and sent further thou­ sands of his own people into death, does not the whole war look like a quarrel between an elephant and a mouse? Plus the United States enjoyed the support of a bunch of further states! What is more, people have never seen war televised so accurately and up-to-date. People, at least the men that are interested in politics, were looking forward to finishing their daily work, running home and getting the "hot news." People were excited and anxious about the war. Their way of life was up-ended for a while. I think every­ body who knew something about the con­ fronting forces expected American victory. So far two superpowers have led the world. Now, as the Soviet Union is gradually falling apart, America remains alone. Hence, "America is No. 1!" But this is too trivial a truism to keep saying so harshly, so loudly, and especially so often. Isn't it? The socialist countries gave "excellent" examples to the ques­ tion, "What does it look like to have an authoritative leadership?" that can only use its peremptory voice and knows only few friendly terms. But even these friendly terms are usually and regularly misused. Concerning what I have mentioned above, can we call these events "pride"? I do not mean that they should have been concealed. Just on the contrary, every­ thing should be unearthed and made pub­ lic. But what I mean is the correct mea­ sure: let everybody know everything, but do not give too much publicity to shock­ ing events. To make it precise: on one hand, too little publicity makes you ap­ pear as though you want to hide some­ thing from the public. Too much public­ ity, on the other hand, gets people fed up with any kind of news, and after a while, leads to total apathy. If there is one thing that should be avoided, this is it. "Pride and prejudice" belong to the same hemisphere of the brain. It is high time to use the other one as well. But do not forget to keep your feelings alive. Be sure you live on the earth but keep in mind, others do too. Licensed items reflect university image Your editorial, "More Input Needed to Determine Taste," contained some interesting points. The editorial stated that "the administrator must make judgment calls as to the tastefulness of products. This is an arbitrary decision and should be in the hands of more than one person." —Bob Hope Product decisions protect ASU name To the Editor: Thank you for the comprehensive article regarding the Collegiate Licensing program. Jamye Roberts did an excellent job in presenting some complicated material. As I pointed out, the program provides us with the opportunity to protect the integrity and reputation of the university and promote and advance a positive image. First, as licensing administrator I am responsible for making decisions, although these decisions aren't arbitrary, nor are they based upon my own personal taste. Since the licensing program is built upon reasonable guidelines (there are specific registered logos that can only be used within certain applications) it's a fairly easy process to approve or reject an item. As the story pointed out, I rejected a shirt design depicting Yosef urinating on the Demon Deacon. Certainly anyone with a modicum of good taste would have reached the same decision. In the relative short time I've been here I have been impressed with the maturity and commitment of Appalachian's student body. Thus, if there is interest among students I will be more than happy to set up a student advisory committee for the purpose of determining the appropriateness of student generated designs. Anyone interested in serving can call me at 2622346. Again, I thank "The Appalachian" for its coverage and interest. Mark N. Lev ine Assistant Vice Chancellor for Public Affairs Actions in Gulf not cause for pride To the Editor While I agree with the position taken by faculty members in their letter to the editor last week, explaining their position on the choice of General Kelly as convocation speaker and his choice of topics, I feel there is another fundamental problem with "America: The Pride is Back." Any pride that I may feel in the efficacy of American fighting men and weapons of war is certainly minute in comparison to the anguish, remorse and anger that I feel over the fact that, as a result of our extremely shortsighted energy policy (and thus foreign policy). we have just killed around a quarter of a million human beings whose only crime was to be the subjects of a ruthless dictator whom the United States has supported in the past with arms, aid and petrodollars. Several of the soldiers of whom I am personally aware are not proud of what they have helped to accomplish—for instance, soldiers who witnessed "Death Valley," where thousands of Iraqis were killed while in retreat. Statistics show that if the average American light vehicle were to get 12 miles per gallon more than it does today, we would not need to import any oil from the Middle East. We were well on our way toward this goal until the administration relaxed fuel economy standards several years ago. Such a goal is easily within our technological capabilities, at no decrease in comfort, and would certainly be cheaper, much more environmentally sound and more moral and worthy of pride than our recent actions. America has many things to be proud of, and to be thankful for, but the Gulf War certainly is not one of them. John Boll ASU Box 13942 III il �liL The Appalachian. Thursday.

The Plemmons Student Union project is continuing despite the Chancellor's decision not to charge students an in­ crease in fees which was to be instated for the 1991-92 year. Included in those fees was a $70 increase which was to go to­ ward the student union expansion. The Visual Arts Center and the SAC will be funded by the state, student fees and private contributions. However, those projects which were to be solely supported by state monies, have been affected the most by the budgetary concerns, though Zimmerman said it is possible for the university to receive money from the state within the next two years. The $8 million, state supported Aca­ demic Support building would house the career development center, the financial aid offices, residence life, admissions, information center, cashier's office, and the registrar's office. "In my opinion this is one of the most needed buildings on campus.It will allow students, parents, and alumni to come to one building instead of having to walk all over campus," Zimmerman said. About $500,000 in state funds have been collected for the building and are being used to continue the project, which is in the site preparation process and will be located on Rivers Street. "Some departments are working in one-third the space they need," said Vice Chancellor for Student Development Dr. Greg Blimling, adding, "Some are so cramped for space now that it interferes with their ability to adequately serve stu­ dents." Another project, which Zimmerman said tops the renovation list, is the re­ pairs to Chapell Wilson Hall, which have been approved but delayed due to the budget. The building, which was built dur­ ing the Depression by the Public Works Department, has a pretty solid struc­ ture and is worth renovating, Zimmerman said. The renovation would be done to the auditorium and the dressing rooms while minor modifications would be made to the classrooms. "This is a project that needs to be done and has been a major renovation project for about five years. It seems like it's always coming up second," Zimmerman said. A student fee project, costing about $9 million, will enlarge the size of the Plemmons Student Union and add exer­ cise facilities, an outdoor sundeck, and include offices for SGA, Outdoor Pro­ grams, Center for Student Involvement and Leadership, and other facilities which currently are housed there. Workman Hall, which currently houses the Center for Student Involve­ ment and Leadership and other offices, will be razed. Zimmerman said The Sweet Shop would be changed somewhat and would be renamed, however; the same types of food will be offered there. Besides some renovations in the facility, the Gold Room's menu will remain the same. The student union project is continu­ ing, despite the moratorium on student fees which were to be used to fund the project. "We're not going to delay the project. We have the authority to build the build­ ing. Ultimately, the students will have to carry that debt that was not collected for this year," Zimmerman said. "This building and the SAC are oppor­ tunities for students to be involved in various out of class experiences which will enrich their life by providing space for cultural, artistic, educational and so­ cial programs through which they can leam about themselves, master informa­ tion and develop interpersonal skills," Blimling said. Another student fee supported project, the building of additional residence halls, is in the planning process. Currently, about 38 percent of ASU students live in on-campus facilities. A goal of the university, decided by the ASU Board of Trustees, is to increase that number to 50 percent. One likely location of a new residence hall would be on the Chancellor's tennis courts on Bodenhimer Drive, according to Zimmerman. Projects fundedby all available sources, including student, state, and private con­ tributions include the SAC and a visual arts center. "The reason the SAC was proposed was that there is not one facility on-cam­ pus that is large enough to accommodate all of the university," Blimling said.

Off-campus students voted in the student union last Wednesday and Thursday, and on-campus students voted in their residence halls on Thursday.

' ^ited Sfc wS.?ea^er's knowledgeble in speak about, and they all Approximately $800,000 has been col­ lected in student fees and $500,000 in state money to fund the SAC. Originally, the state was to match the students' contributions but since the short­ fall, that money was not available. The decision was made to stop collecting money until the state could match the contributions made by the students, Blimling said. A visual arts center, which would house various artwork done by students as well as others, will cost about $3.4 million and would be located west of Rivers Street andconnect Farthing Auditorium and Wey Hall. "It would give students the opportunity to spend an afternoon in a quality art museum and they may take something inspirational from the exhibit away from the campus," Zimmerman said. Currently, no fundshave been collected for the building and if independent funds are not raised, the building will not be built, Zimmerman added. "Most universities, the size and stature that Appalachian is becoming, has afacil­ ity like this. For a comprehensive univer­ sity, this center makes solid sense," Zimmerman said.

Last year when students faced the job market, the picture was bleak; however, David Ball, the director of the Career Development Center, is optimistic about the job market in 1992. Students looking for jobs have been feeling the effects of the recession since last summer, and students will continue to face a competitive job market. Ball said. After a recession there are usually a few months when there is a big jump in the economy as well as the job market, but that isn't happening with this recession, according to Ball. "We usually roar out of recessions, but we are limping out of this one," Ball said. "A year ago last July 1 had a feeling we were already in a recession because the recruiting activity was beginning to weaken at campuses all over the nation as well as here at Appalachian," said Ball. "This trend has continued .which will con­ tinue to make the job market competi­ tive." College students throughout the nation have been affected by the recession. Stu­ dents everywhere are having a hard time finding jobs. "1990-91 was the worst student job market in 30 years,"said Victor Linquist, director of placement services at North­ western University. According to Ball, students need to be aware of things that affect hiring other than the recession. Ball said that the big­ gest limitation students can placeon them­ selves when they are job searching is limiting themselves to a certain geographic region. "I encourage students to be open to possible job opportunities in different geographic locations," Ball said. "The more open a student is to where they will work, the better chance they have of find­ ing a job." Another thing students can do to im­ prove their chance of getting a job, re­ gardless of economic times, is to realize that people hire people, they don't hire diplomas. Ball added. "Employers want to hire multi-dimen­ sional individuals.They want people who can function in many different environ­ ments," said Ball. "Every student at Ap­ palachian, not just seniors, needs to pos­ sess certain skills. Interpersonal skills, communication skills, technical skillsand leadership skills are very important to prospective employers." Ball noted that students need to begin their job searches early enough so they don't feel pushed for time. This means that freshmen, sophomores, and juniors See JOB page 2 �The Appalachian. Tuesday.

The student suffered minor injuries and was treated and released from Watauga County Hospital, according to a hospital spokesperson. The truck was driven by Glenn Cornett of Sugar Grove and was traveling at ap­ proximately 5-8 mph when the accident occured, Boone police officer Jim Wilson said. Comett was cited with failure to yield to a pedestrian. The police report stated visibility in the area was low when the accident occured and that it was raining hard at that time. Problems "> after an abortion ASU Director of Security and Public Safety, Roy Tugman, said he knew of no other incidents occuring at campus cross­ walks. However, the university is in the process of adding two additional cross­ walks to those currently on campus. The new walks will be located at Lo­ cust Street in front of Chapell Wilson and on Stadium Drive in between Trivette Hall andJustice Residence Hall. The cross­ walks should be completed within the next two weeks or by the end of the fall semester, Tugman said. The crosswalk that Fleisher was hit at is one of several located on Rivers Street. Tugman said that "there is an additional safety concern there becauseof the heavier traffic volume." Crosswalks located on Rivers Street are the only ones on campus that have the flashing yellow lights that say "yield to pedestrians." in MEDICAL • LEGAL • EMOTIONAL HELt> -634-2224 BTirr highland audio CD Spectacular! % ». 13 Years Serving the High Country Job Buy 1 CD; Get 1 for 1/2 Price Continued from page 1 need to be concerned with finding a job before they become seniors.

Chancellor John Thomas was sitting in class at the "Conversa" in the mountains of central Costa Rica. Between July 20 and Aug. 17 of this year, Thomas stayed in Costa Rica to work on his Spanish. Thomas lived among the natives in the town of Santa Ana. Thomas and the other students spent five and a half hours daily in class, which was taught entirely in Spanish. Although he had some difficulty, Thomas felt that being "immersed" in the culture gave him confidence in his ability to speak the language. It also gave him an appreciation for what interna­ tional students go through at ASU. WTien asked todescribe the geography, Thomas replied, "Santa Ana is a mountain village and the weather there is not unlike Boone in the summer­ time." According to Thomas, the Costa Ricans are a Afipmlmchimn FMo by CIsay Pratt proud, but friendly people, eager to help foreigners CHANCELLOR TRAVELS TO CENTRAL AMERICA: Chancellor Thomas visited Costa Rica for learn theirlanguage.The food, which included lots cultural and educational experiences this summer. His present knowledge of Spanish grew with help from of rice, beans, coffee, chicken, fresh fruits, and the natives speaking the language and the classroom teachings. baked bread, was much to his liking. Although native products were cheap, import­ ed products were often more expensive in Costa Rica than they would have been in America. Thomas also made note of the country s political stability in an area of the world kn own for violent revolution (the Costa Rica army was abolished in 1948). Recent political events of global significance have made it increasingly important to understand and be able tocommunicate with members of other cultures. Thomas comments, "an understanding of the Hispanic culture in particular would be helpful to anyone involved incommercial endeavors within the United States." Thomas chose to studyinCosta Rica, as opposed to here in North Carolina, because of Iris interest in other cultures. "I am proud of what the dean's department heads and faculty have done about internationalizing the curriculum," said Thomas about efforts within the past two years to increase ASU students' exposui e to other cultures. Thomas' specific interest lies in Mexico,Central America, and the Hispanic culture because of the university's connections with colleges in Mexico City and San Jose. Thomas said, "I intend to nbw keep up my Spanish studies." Students work toward environmental perception By LISA LAUGHLIN Appalachian Staff Writer In today's society, the environment is a fragile treasure that few people actually get to experience fully. Some go camping to enjoy the pleasure of nature's beauty or participate in a clean-up cam­ paign. However, not many are aware that opportunities exist foT one to perform an even greater role in the life of the planet. "For the Life of the Planet...And the Experience of a Lifetime...SCA" is the slogan for the Student Conservation Association. In addition to publish­ ing a monthly magazine called "Earthwork," they help place students in national parks and forests all across the country where they are most needed. Two summers ago,"Jungle" George Kittrell had the opportunity to live and work at Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. A recreation and park management major, Kittrell's duties included issu­ ing back country permits, registering visitors in the campgrounds, issuing boat permits, and teaching boat safety. When not busy performing these tasks, Kittrell would step over to the visitor's center. "Many people would have beendriving for days," said Kittrell. "I tried to help them relax. I found that getting involved in trail maintenance was the most enjoyable." Kittrell described getting to walk around Yellowstone at leisure, jotting down things he observed such as animal tracks, trail condi­ tions, and what activities the visitors were enjoying. Another student who participated was Shannon Ballard. This past summer, Ballard worked at NorthCascades National Park Service Complex in Washington. She was stationed in Stehekin which is a small area of wilderness that can only be reached by plane, hiking, or by boat crossing a 55 mile long lake. Ballard's job was interpretation. This included answering questions in the visitor's center, giv­ ing "hands-on" programs to younger visitors, and giving guided walks through a historic apple orchard. She is especially proud of the special project of illustrating the Imus Creek Trail Guide. Ballard also spoke of how she passed a waterfall to work each day that reached a height of over 300 feet. "I am pleased that I got the chance to help others enjoy the outdoors without destroying it," Ballard said. See STUDENTS page 4 Russian student experiences U.S. culture at ASU While in the United States Martynova resides with Hughes and his family. "I like his whole family very much. They try to make me be at home," Martynova said. By GINGER WOOD Appalachian Staff Writer At first glance Anna Martynova appears to be a typical Appalachian State University student, but after breaking the surface there is much more. Martynova, an exchange student from the Soviet Union, will be attending the university for the 1991-1992 year. Anna,19, is part of an exchange program with ASU and Kharkob State University. She attends Kharkob University as a senior. Anna was chosen by Dr. Albert Hughes, a professor of Sociology at ASU. She met Dr. Hughes in 1989 during one of his visits to the Soviet Union. Martynova's major is psychology, and she is currently enrolled in business writing, psychol­ ogy, sociology, French, and modem dance. She enjoys her classes and her flexible schedule. At home in Kharkob she spends an average of six to eight hours a day in class compared to three to four hours here. Martynova plans to get involved in some type of club or organization here on campus. When I first asked her what she was interested in doing, she enthusiastically stated,"I want to be a cheerleader, because I love to dance." Anna has a zest for learning and studies hard to increase her knowledge."Hike my subjects. If I tell my sisters I enjoy learning, they will think I'm crazy," Martynova said. Family is an important part of Anna's life. "I am crazy about my family. It is perhaps the most important thing in my life," said Martynova. Martynova is fond of Boone and its people. "I admire it. Your people are so kind. It's a warm atmosphere in town and of people," Martynova said. Anna has a taste for American food and televi­ sion. Her favorite show is "Bewitched." She likes pizza and the Food Court's coleslaw, which she calls "cabbage." On the subject of the Soviet Union's dismissal of communism, she feels it will take time to change the system. "You can not destroy everything in one week. You can not change the thinking of tjie people,"Martynova said. She feels the thinking of the Soviet Union is gradually changing. Martynova believes people must first make a change within themselves before changes in a society can be made. "I begin to understand Peristroika within my­ self," Martynova said. Peristroika is the term for the new openness in the Soviet Union. On the future of her country Martynova ex­ presses many feelings. She fears for the future of her family, especially her younger sister. She de sires her sister to excel in her studies and have the same opportunities she has had. "In my soul I pray for a good future for my country," Martynova said. ROTC presented award for excellent leadership By CANDA F. SMITH Appalachian Et Cetera Editor To honor Military Appreciation Day, a cer­ emony was given last Saturday to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Reserve Officers Training Corps. In 1916 President Wilson signed the Na­ tional Defense Act creating the U.S. ROTC. On behalf of the anniversary. Chancellor Tho­ mas presented a plaque to Maj. Gen. Wallace C. Arnold, thecommanding General of Cadette Com­ mand in the United States, during halftime at the ASU-VMI football game. Eugenia W.Collins also contributed to the recognition by establishing a scholarship in honor of her late husband.Col. John G. Collins. Collins was the first professor of mili­ tary science at the university. For their leadership excellence, an award was presented to Appalachian State University ROTC by Brig. Gen. Julius Johnson, the commanding general of the 1st ROTC region. They placed 1st in 34 universities for leadership proficiency. Thomas also awarded a plaque to Cadette Travis Morris, a veteran of Operation Desert Storm who served with the 101st Airborne Division. The program was established to train soldiers on anational level. With the ROTC program, there are trained reserve officers to pull in case of a national emergency. Major William Duffy of the ASU ROTC said, "The main reason to become involved (in ROTC) is how well it prepares you for the outside world. It develops leadership, management, skill and confi­ dence, and these traits are markable no matter where you go." This is the 23rd year in the Appalachian pro­ gram.

Campus silently celebrates one moment of peace By LISA MULLIKIN Appalachian Copy Editor Peace is silence, peace is joy - a motto people all over the world will consider today as they celebrate the 10th anniversary of the United Nations Interna­ tional Day of Peace. The United Nations asks individuals everywhere tostop what they are doing and take a minute of silence at noon to think about peace and then shout, sing, dance or just celebrate the growing awareness of the importance of peace. TTie idea is thateveryone—people from all parts of the world with different religions and beliefs— AAJ ".* '.' can all join together and forget their differences for one moment to concentrate on world peace. The bells of Trivette Hall, in conjunction with the Peace Bell of the United Nations, plan to ring out in honor of Peace Day at 12:01 p.m. Boone Mayor Velma Burnley plans to establish the United Nations International Day of Peace as an annual celebration today. Many Watauga County schools are celebrating Peace Day by asking students to do artwork in the theme of peace. A Peace Art Show display of this artwork is planned for the county public library and the Boone Mall. Peace Day is sponsored by the Boone chapterof the International Friendship Link. itfiM li iUfHIiitf inamil "The International Friendship Link is an or­ ganization that promotes international under­ standing and links of friendship with other coun­ tries," said Jane Robinson, president of Interna­ tional Friendship Link. "We see one of our pur­ poses is to promote international projects so there's public awareness of people and ideas in the com­ munity." Sponsoring Peace Day is just one of the many projects the organization has done. "We had a real successful year last year," Robinson said. "The most rewarding project last year was hosting a pot luck dinner for the nine visiting Russian women.' — **«*• Projects this year include sponsoring several ASU international students with the cooperation of the ASU international studies office, and the intro duction of Peace Day to the Boone community. "We feel that individuals, acting in concert, do make a difference," Robinson said. International Peace Day was bom in November 1981 when the United Nations General Assembly declared the opening day of the regular session on the third Tuesday of September, "shall be offi­ cially dedicated and observed as the International Day of Peace and shall bedevoled tocommemorat ing and strengthening the ideals of peace both within and amon? a" iwtVmx twrrilpc " �1 The Appalachian.

Although arecreation management major here at ASU, Kelton's job consisted of a more biologi­ cal aspect. Besides giving nature walks to groups of about 15 people four or five times daily, his duties also included iden­ tifying wild flowers, trees and other things he saw. To Kelton, the best rewards came from meeting new people and dealing with the public. I fulfilled my goal of becoming more extroverted, I looked forward to my job because each day 1 saw and learned some­ thing new," Kelton said. Doug Cana chose to volunteer with the SCA because it fulfilled his internship as a recreation major. 'I have always wanted to travel,"Gantt said. "I would look through thecatalogues of all the areas SCA places volunteers like flipping through a wishbook." He chose to work at Klamath Nation­ al Forest in Northern California. He was an assistant recreation technician which involved maintenance and visitor con­ tacts. In addition he took a class on fire fighting and was able to assist with the fires. Jobs provided by the Student Conser­ vation Association are open to anyone. ROTC Continued from page 3 more than 400 universities from the time it was initially introduced to colleges. Women are an important part of the system. In the1972-73 school year, women began to get progressively interested in joining. In 1976 the first group of women was commissioned. Forty percent of the participants have scholarships even though for the first two years in the program, there is not a longterm obligation. Freshmen and sopho­ mores have the opportunity to apply for scholarships, but in the junior year of the program, an obligation must be made. Upon graduation, one is commissioned and must serve a total of eight years in the army. The obligation is fulfilled by serv­ ing two to four years of active duty followed by service in the reserves. Duffy feels confident about the pro­ gram at ASU. "I can't say enough good things about the university and their sup­ port. I want to give a special thanks to the Athletic Department because they have done everything they could to help out. We are fortunate to be where we are. I'm not sure that I could feel more at home with being in the military than here." Volunteers are treated like regular paid employees and are kept busy. Shelter, food and transportation are provided. Even I though volunteering for an entire summer is a huge sacrifice for anyone, in John Kelton's words, "The rewards come | later." Information and internships are avail­ able through the Leisure Studies | Department whose office is located in the basement of Varsi ty Gym.

"J,i Manager may be reached at 162-21$7; the editorial staff may be reached at i prepare for bleak national job scene By TRACY TARLETON Appalachian Commentary Editor Frederick R. Lynch, a Ph.D. and a white male, applied for a job at Sweet Briar College and was told he had not gotten the position because he was male. After applying at Pomona College, the sociology department chairper­ son told him the only sociologist he would be able to hire would be a black. ("Current," Aug. 1990) Affirmative action carried a little too far? Or just outin-out favoritism? Actually, this is an example of racism. Up until the 60's, when much-needed civil rights measures were finally taken, blacks were discriminated against. "Discriminated against," as everyone knows, is an understatement. Ostracized, harassed, and beaten are more accurate terms. Racism against blacks, not to mention Orientals, Jews, Italians, Mexicans, Indians, Arabs—you name it—not to mention sexism—still exists; unfortunately, in some parts of the country, it exists to great degrees. There always have been and, unfortunately, probably always will beignorant people whocan't seem to realize thatskin color, sex, or ethnic origin is not a determining factor of a person's character, worth, or abilities. Affirmative action is a good idea if used as it was intended to be used and not abused For centuries minorities and women have not had the advantages white males have had. They most certainly should be given equal opportunities in jobs and college admissions. However, we should not make exceptions on univer­ sity entrance requirements for minorities and women. Proposition 48, which was proposed two years ago and required that college athletes make at least a 700 on their Scholastic Aptitude Tests before being allowed to par­ ticipate in college sports, was considered by some to be a slap against blacks. This opposition is an example of those who want to carry affirmative action policies too far. Why should athletes not berequired to make anSAT score of700 when other applicants (black, whiteor other) who apply to almost any university will not beconsidered for admission without an SAT score of above 700? Employers also should not feel they have to make exceptions on job qualifications for female or minority applicants. The examples at the beginning of this article show how affirmative action is being carried too far in some areas of the workplace. Employers should not hire, nor should they feel pressured to hire, based on sex orrace rather than qualifications. The definition of affirmative action is "Action taken to provide equal opportunity, such as in admissions or employment, for minority groups and women." ("Ran­ dom House Dictionary") The purpose of affirmative action is to make sure no one is discriminated against due to race or sex and to make sure everyone gets a fair chance. Those who turn discrimination around and use it against those who were favored before are not practic­ ing affirmative action as it was intended to be practiced. Blacks should not be discriminated against. Women should not be discriminated against. No one should be discriminated against. The purpose of affirmative action is to eliminate, as much as possible, discrimination on the job or in school. Those who in the name of "affirmative action" show favoritism toward minorities and women are ultimately defeating the purpose for which affirma­ tive action was created—equality.

They demand"diversity" of almost every kind—race, gender, sexual orientation, even physical ability. What these folks won't countenance, however, is diverse opinions. As a black college student at the Uni­ versity of Maryland, I learned this truth the hard way. As a black conservative, I was ostracized by the very people who claimed tovalue difference because Iwas, well, different They didn't mind that I was black, of course, but College Park's politically correct student leadership seemed to prefer ideological lockstep within their "diverse" student body. Fortunately, I was never subjected to the kind of overt intolerance that many black conservatives endure, but there was always a palpable disdain for me and my views among other minoritystudents. One black sophomore, for example, explained to me that "white people are puttin' those ideas in your head."

Do you want to cut off the chances of the boys and girls of tomorrow?" The campus diversity mongers should ponder Du Bois' words. Each time we refuse to consider diverse opinions, we are "neglecting an opportunity" to learn. Each time a minority student leader de­ mands "solidarity" from his peers, he makes it more difficult for others of the race to get such an opportunity. And ig­ noring or extinguishing "western culture" in the curriculum is truly a cure for noth­ ing. Perhaps more important, this desire for intellectual unanimity and separation threatens toundermine more than 25 years of civil rights gains. Black Americans are closer than ever to being treated by white society simply as individuals, but now many minorities themselves assert that race is thedefining characteristic of every person. How quickly we forget that this was the very attitude that made slavery possible, that has kept apartheid alive in South Africa, and that delivered Jews into the Holocaust. I, for one, would rather the average American did not believe that all blacks act a particular way because they are black! Similarly, I would rather not toss aside many of the great works of science, phi­ losophy, and literature just because their authors were white. Black collegians can understand and appreciate James Madi­ son, John Milton and Charles Darwin— just to mention a few examples—as well as any white studeqt. To suggest other­ wise is t acisrrt- in-its pristirio f drm. My college experience has not left me as discouraged as it might have because I believe therehas been a quiet reawakening of independence among most young mi­ norities. During the past year, I have met several other young college graduates who agree that we need more genuine diver­ sity—diversity of thought. Together we have begun a magazine, appropriately entitled "Diversity," which will explore issues of race and culture free from pres­ sures to conform to the new, self-imposed stereotype. I hope this modest effort will spark other young minorities to break free from the orthodoxy as well. Editor's note: David Bernstein is the editor of "Diversity" magazine.

Still another per­ son once complained, "you just don't un­ derstand." Like many black college students, I found thestudent leadership's attempts to insulate me from diverse opinions conde­ scending and antithetical to the idea of a university education. Black collegians should learn to appreciate the rich heri­ tage of intellectual debate and dissent that has defined the black American experi­ ence. Men like W.E.B. Du Bois, Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. did not share a single set of ideas. Each came to his own conclusions through study and honest reflection. If any of us hope to understand the "black thing" referred to by those popular T-shirts, we must try a little study and reflection of our own. In 1905, W.E. B. Du Bois scolded a young black girl when he explained that, "There are, in the U.S. today, tens of thousands of colored girls who would be happy beyond measure to have the chance of educating themselves that you are ne­ glecting." He further warned her that,"Ignorance is a cure for nothing...every time acolored "Nigger!" This vile word of hatred, ignorance and white supremacy. I heard it yelled directly at me.

I was too busy driving, possibly expect­ ing a bullet, a rock, something to be thrown, to even try to look to catch the eye of the shouter of this word of hate. Wherever he was, wherever he lives, wherever he attends school, it is of no matter right now. I must respond to the incident to be at peace with myself. A friend once told me that "nigger" is the vilest word in the human vocabu­ lary. (To that list of vile words, however, I would have to add the word "bitch.") I've been called "nigger" in California, Florida and North Carolina. I agree with my friend; "Nigger" is one of America's most vile words—one that, unfortunately, comes out of the mouths of those who fear me, hate me, detest my existence. In other words, one who shouts "Nigger!" definitely is up to no good. The society that created the term, the United States society, unfortunately has passed on to more respectable words of verbal harassment and racism— "opposition to racial quotas," for example. The effect is the same; Keep the blacks in their place. At least that is how I see it This time, though, I decided to write about it in the community where the action occurred and by doing it, make a statement of sorts. I wonder how often this type of racial harassment occurs in this community without being reported or chronicled for statistical or historical purposes. Are hate crimes acknowledged to exist or occur in the High Country? Are those who are victims too intimidated to write or speak publicly (or privately) about it? Have they been discouraged from speaking out? Thank goodness I'm not in that category. Boone/ASU someday must address the issue of racism in this community, as a way of taking concrete efforts to show that racism will not be tolerated. (But it's so ingrained in our society, my friends.) To the man who felt so incensed by my presence that he had to shout "nigger!" at me, let me just say that you have nothing to fear from me. On the contrary, your ignorance, hatred and fear only expose you for what you are— a fool—a dangerous fool, though—one who must be taken seriously until there is a viable movement of white Ameri­ cans who will unite with America's minorities to continue to oppose racism in all of its manifestations. Can this happen in Boone? Can this happen at ASU? To those who want to deny me and others, be we black. Latino, Asian, Eskimo, Native American or working women, our day under the sun by rape, "nigger" calling, cross burning, or creating a climate of hostility through opposition to affirmative action/equality measures in the workplace and educational institutions, to you I say that you may have won the war so far, but you will lose many battles—and eventually lose the war—in the future. You were not successful into cowering me into a position of fear or submission. I represent many—many who are perhaps to busy, too scared, too silent, too intimidated to speak. I am part of Appalachia. Yes, I am part of North Carolina. I am part of the United States and part of this world. I am not going anywhere. So save your breath, stop your verbal racial harassment nowl and maybe, just maybe, join the forward side of history—if you can. Morris G. White See LETTERS page 8 �The Appalachian. Tuesday.

Tension was especially high when it appeared that the band was having technical difficul­ ties. Finally the band began to play. There is no feeling in the world like the feeling of a crowd of people releasing energy simultaneously. The crowd moved in waves, dancing, jumping, screaming, cheering and smiling. At the moment I thought to myself that "trouble" must have been written in neon for him to have picked me out of a crowd of other dancers. I told him I wasn't leaving. He grabbed me by both shoulders as if to throw me out but I refused to conform with his orders and pushed him away. Immediately, two security guards rushed to restrain me. Not to be undone, I resisted the guards as well, flailing and kicking about knocking several people down in the process. The guards, who had been looking for reasons all night to use their billysticks, preceded to beat me and a few by-standers. Then the riot began... Of course there was no riot the band was not Belly Flop, the guards did not have sticks (they had guns), I did not As the band finished the first song, resist when asked to leave, and I was they faded into one of their more not the only person asked to leave popular tunes, and the crowd became Psycho-Acoustics' show that night.

Get out!!!" Slam-dancing rule causes controversy To the Editor: I went to see my favorite band on campus the other evening. The band was Belly-Flop-Hip-Hop and the Student Union s night manager was prepared for the hoard of "freaks" which would inevitably arrive. Awaiting at the door were several thoroughly briefed security guards, as well as posted signs stating "No Slam Dancing." My relevance to this story begins a year ago when it was first announced that no slam-dancing was allowed at ASU. This rule came about after it was determined that certain cultural groups could not successfully intermingle without friction. When I learned about the "protecting us from ourselves" law, I was foolhardy enough to question the decision of Student Union upper-level management. This was obviously a mistake, for I have been permanendy marked as a troublemaker most likely to incite rebellions or riots. One year later, I arrived at the Student Union's Pub in a very cheerful mood, excited about seeing Belly-Flop for the first time in several months. Obviously, I wasn't the only person excited, because the Pub was sold out, with a line of hopefuls outside, looking in. I don't think I would have been so optimistic of the show if I had known that I had "trouble" tattooed on my P y e s e n I s Save a life 1 Give blood Classifieds RESEARCH of Information in U.S. nFORMAHON Largest Library EXPERIENCED STUDENT PHOTOGRAPHERS needed.

One major change in the code is that students who are accused of being in vio­ lation of the student code will have the opportunity of an administrative decision instead of a hearing before a Student or University Judicial Board. Students who choose to go before an administrator will have an interview with Lee McCaskey, the judicial hearing officer. The student is required to plead "in violation" to the charge and agree to accept the sanction McCaskey decides upon. "I want to be fair and reasonable when dealing with an individual," McCaskey said. "The student will get exactly the same sanction he would have gotten if he went through the board." If the student wishes to contest the charges, or he does not agree to accept whatever sanction the judicial hearing officer decides upon, the student will then be referred to one of the judicial boards. The Student Judicial Board, similar to last year's student court, is composed of a chairperson, a student judicial counselor, a student conduct advocate and a panel composed of twelve students, three from each class. After the board reviews the charges, they will recommend a finding of "in violation", or "not in violation", and a sanction, if needed, to the director of Stu­ dent Judicial Affairs. The University Judicial Board is made up of three faculty members, three stu­ dents, an academic dean, and two mem­ bers of the student development staff. This board replaces last year's Adminis­ trative Board, which did not have any student representation. The University Judicial Board will be used for more sensitive or severe cases, or for a student who has appeared before the Student Judicial Board previously. McCaskey explained the purpose of the new code is to try to make the sys­ tem more educational for students and to make the system less formal than a court­ room. "In the system we had before, two in­ dividuals would basically battle each Licensing begins ^Bhian'sparticipationinalicensaj program with Collegiate Licensing pmy protects the reputation of the inity as well as the interests of confim, said Mark Levine, assistant vice :bncellor for public affairs at ASU. |Levine inherited the program from inutility Attorney Dayton Cole, who hqin woriting on it June 1,1990. lilt we can basically describe the npn't benefits with the three P's: loection, promotion and profit,"Levine 1 £ I Ik program allows us to protect the apiiy and reputation of the university •d to manage the potential risk of legal tin/ by assuring Appalachian's marks flw appropriate and on quality mer•sandise; to promote and advance a pxasi«image; to help generate revenue for Kaliancement of the academic expjerist," he said.

L Jmostrecent rejection of a proposed f that was submitted showed a "toieer urinating on the Wake Foru^ersity Demon Deacon, j "chian has already received its oyalty check, and the Chancellor's Cabinet is in the process of deciding how to bestuse the profits. According to Levine, the money will most likely be allocated to general scholarships. Michigan State and Georgetown re­ ceived the largest amount of money in royalties in 1990, each receiving over $1 million. Although ASU's annual revenue from royalties can only be estimated, Levine hopjes that ASU will make $40,000 over the next four years. The revenue from royalties deprends on the success of ASU's football and basketball teams and on the number of businesses which join the li­ censing program in the future, Levine said. As an incentive to retailers who market ASU merchandise, ASU offers them mem­ bership in the Appalachian Mountaineer "Family." The organization recognizes businesses who purchase only licensed ASU merchandise and rewards those busi­ nesses for their cooperation. Benefits to retailers include recogni­ tion during all home football and basket­ ball games and radio broadcasts of those games, and advertisements in "The Watauga Democrat." The only groups on campus which are exempt from licensing are those that elect to give their merchandise away rather than sell it do not have to seek approval of the products. Bill Corriher, owner of Mountaineer Mania on King Street, said the manufac­ turers who produce ASU merchandise and pay royalties increase the price of goods they sell to Mountaineer Mania. In turn. Mountaineer Mania increases the pjrice of goods in the store. For example, an ASU shirt which would have cost $10 before the licensing procedures took ef­ fect now costs the consumer $10.65, ex­ cluding tax. Corriher said the licensing pro­ gram benefits his business because it pre­ vents vendors from selling ASU mer­ chandise on street comers or throughout residence halls."If everybody is licensed, it can't hurt. If somebody is selling ille­ gally, it can hurt (my business),"Corriher said. By TRACY WILLIARD Assistant News Editor An attempted assault was reported for the first time this year last weekend in the stadium heights area of campus, accord­ ing to Roy Tugman, thedirector of public safety and security. The incident occurred at 3 a.m. Satur­ day morning in the Trivette Hall area. According to Tugman, a female was walk­ ing from residence hall to residence hall when she was approached by what she described as a five-foot-nine-inch white male with curly blonde hair who was carrying what she described as an auto­ matic handgun. A car drove by and she was able to escapie by running to a residence hall, Tugman said. When the incident occurred, the female was close enough to use a blue light secu­ rity pthone. Blue lights, which are tele­ phones manned by an opierator, are lo­ cated throughout campus. Blue lights have a button that notifies security when activated. If the pjerson does not respond verbally to the opierator who answers an officer is sent to the location. "The young lady was close to one blue light, but it was easier for her to get to a residence hall than to the blue light," noted Tugman. Tugman said he wants to encourage all students to walk with friends at night to avoid further incidents occuring such as this one.

It is intended to make the stu­ dent more aware of the kind of behavior that is wrong and more aware of how to modify it so they will fit in the commu­ nity." ASU's new judicial system is similar to what many schools throughout the nation have adopted to provide students with a more educational legal system. McCaskey pay off building mortgages. Miscellaneous fees pay for student book rentals. The last payment, which was$160,000, was made on the debt for the Student Support Building on June 30. Students are currently p»ying on seven different notes which include the physical education building and Kidd Brewer Sta­ dium expansion. The stadium expansion note adds $15 to the students' annual fees and the note adds $22.50. At the end of this semester, the stadium expansion note will also be paid off. Not only are students paying for build­ ings already in existence, fees are being charged for buildings that are planned. A $30 annual fee is currently being paid for the future expansion of the Student Union. This fee has been in place since the 199091 school year. The student union fee will help fund the approximate$8 million that will beneeded to construct the building. Students were going to be billed an additional $70 pier year for the building but that was dropped for this year. Along with the student union fee that was not instated was the fee for the SAC. "We didn' t think it was fair to assess the students for a building that wasn't being built in the immediate future," said Blimling. Once the General Assembly starts funding the SAC again, students will start paying the fee. However, monies already collected are being in­ vested. Blimling described the long process of raising fees, stating "(First) the adminis­ tration cabinet meets to discuss needed fees and recommends fees to the Board of Trustees." The cabinet also solicits input from the Faculty Senate, SGA and the Graduate Senate. Blimling said plansfor nextyears' fees are already in the making."We try to give students long term input," he said. According to Blimling, most universi­ ties adopt new fees late in the spring or during the summer. After the fees are settled at the university level the proposal goes off to the Board of Governors in Chapiel Hill. Since there was a large increase in tuition this year, the Board of Governors told universities in the UNC system not to raise their fees. "We had already decided to do it before the Board's decision," said Blimling. "This will only delay a raise in fees for a year." "I'm not saying it was all the girl's fault, but maybe the incident could have been avoided if she had been walking with a friend," said Tugman. As a result of this incident, Tugman said security will be beefed up in all areas on campus. According to Rick Geis, associate di­ rector of residence life, women need to be informed of the incident so they will be more careful. "Some residence assistance's are hav­ ing hall meetings to get the word out to women to be more aware of safety on campus," said Geis. According to Don Sanz, director of the counseling center, safety mustcontinue to be stressed both from aman's and woman's point of view. "We must continue to tell women not to put themselves in a vulnerable situation," said Sanz. "This includes being alone at night in dark or unsafe areas, as well as being alone with someone you don't know." Sanz said it is unfair to ask women to make a special effort, but the sad Teality is that we have to ask. "We must also look at safety from a man's pointof view as well as a woman's. Men need to go out of their way to ensure safety," Sanz said. It is important to make pieople more aware of potentially dangerous situations so that both men and women can try to avoid them, Sanz said. "Don'tlet friendsor loved ones wander off alone," Sanz said."Encourage them to walk with friends at night" �Jhe Appalachian. Thursday.

Possible course guidelines heard By USA HINKLE Appalachian Staff Writer At this time next year, many classes may be cancelled, majors may be cut, and departments reduced due to thousands of dollars the university lost last year as a result of state cutbacks. Deciding upon what deletions should be made in majors being offered was the topic of discussion at the meeting to the Faculty Senate Mon­ day, Sept. 9. The decision about what courses will remain and which ones will be deleted will be based on several criteria. The number of students and graduates within and from the program will be a determing factor as well as whether uni­ versity money is being spent wisely. Currently, there are several programs at Appalachian that have zero to few gradu­ ates. Dr. Ron Ensey, a member of the Fac­ ulty Senate and a math professor, said the cutbacks would be in the best interest of the school. "The administration, faculty and students cannot continue to act as if the money is there to use," Ensey said. If certain programs need to be cut back on, then the university has no choice but to follow through, Ensey added. He also said he realizes everyone feels the cuts are a good idea, but there may not be the time to solve this financial crunch fast enough. One reason for the difficulty with cutbacks can be traced to the 1980s when the state and school's financial situation was considerably better, according to Ensey. However, now "we are in a recession and our belts must be tightened. There are many programs at Appalachian that have no students graduating from them. It is very unwise to keep those programs and continue to pay for them," Ensey said. If this plan is put into effect, then many classes may be offered only during one semester or the class may be cancelled altogether. The faculty senate assured stu­ dents that the university would not decide to cut majors before they graduate. Kristen Hunicke, an ASU sophomore from Charlotte said 'It would be a wise decision of the university because of the budget, but it would also be extremely unfair for those being cut." Since these cuts may not be imple­ mented until at least next year, students who are already in the program will be allowed to finish their studies and gradu­ ate. Another option would be to lower the number of hours needed to obtain a de­ gree. It all comes to a question that the university must ask itself. As one profes­ sor stated, "The university must decide 'Can we afford to keep this program or not?'" •Me«a 'etleC, T h e f ) Q o ^ ij,^i inalfabei How does itfeeltobeiiij PLUS your sncAh^E FlEC/CLFj Jovs Project Literacy Ll a Sign up for club sports now: Club sports are teams that play other universities on a competitive basis.

"All Lfluld lead to tragic, unpredictable Ltfmaa. I'm trying, however, not imjjerate things." tlihilova, who originallycame to the N.Y., university last year on an exchange program, convinced Colgate administrators that she needed to stay a second year to improve her English. When reports of the coup began to surface, she and school officials at Colgate expressed concern over whether two So­ viet exchange students expected at the university this fall would be able to travel to the U.S. as planned. At Hope College, Tom Reimer, the public relations director, complained that he has acquired a "cauliflower ear" hav­ ing to respond to telephone inquiries about die 19 Soviet students who recently ar­ rived there for their first year in the United States. Located in Holland, Mich., the tiny liberal artscollege (enrollment 2,800) has one of the most unusual Soviet exchange programs in the country. As many as 200 Russian students apply for 20 corporate scholarships each year. The students, who must be proficient in English, did not know one another before boarding apian for the United States. The Russian newcomers spent the first week with American families in a "Homestay" off-campus program. "There is much anxiety here," Renner said. "The students are viewing this situ­ ation with a lot of uncertainty. Of course there is concern for their families, and their future—now and in the distant fu­ ture." A feeling of guarded relief mixed with appreciation for the outpouring of sympa­ thy and support from Americans spread over the campus at news that the couphad failed. "I cannot believe how supportive Americans have been this week," says Rukavishnikov, who was with his adopted family during the tense hours of the coup. "I was hoping they would (be). People have met me warmly and shared with me." "I am scared," admitted Katya Pokrovskya, a 19-year-old Hope College student from Moscow, on hearing that the coup was crumbling. "I suspect that (the coup) doesn't involve really serious con­ sequences now—but I thinka lot of people will still suffer. "Coup leaders will try to make people quaiTel among each other. The KGB, in spite of this collapse, still possess a lot of power," she said."It could be very fright­ ful." Pokrovskya says she was watching tele­ vision when a bulletin flashed on the screen. She has since contacted her par­ ents, who attempted to assuage her fears. "They say everyone is calm,"she contin­ ued, "and that many ordinary people are not involved. They just walk by the barri­ cades." The young Russian, who wants to study British and American history while at Hope College, says that while Americans should not interfere in the Soviet Union's domestic problems, they should "throw political and financial support behind the democratic movement." It was a time of high anxiety for Oleg Polakov, another Soviet student at Hope College. Polakov, an articulate computer student from Leningrad, also learned of the troublesin hishomeland by television. "You can imagine my feelings when I heard Gorbachev was overthrown," said Polakov, who had difficulty reaching his parents by telephone. "I really thought there would be more violence, but today...there is no need to feel the same way. I am much much cheered up." Polakov said he admired the way Boris Yelton conducted himself during the coup. "He will be even more popular (now). He was the only leader who was persistent in his desire to continue opposing the coup. He made a lot of efforts to fight it." "This (the coup) is different than Rus­ sian history," Polakov continued. Usu­ ally, violence is used against violence." Anton Malygin, a 21-year-old Macalester College (St. Paul, Minn.) jun­ ior is from Leningrad, where he studied ' for two years at Leningrad University before deciding to pursue a degree in economics in the United States. He was eating breakfast when his wife alerted him of the news bulletin. Malygin says he had ambivalent feelings: shock mixed with "I knew it." "I was not really surprised," says Malygin. "I knew the situation was very student response to the •<i faofStudent Conduct to be favortit wester there have been 37 accu- im of students being in violation of ^tode, and around 40 cases pending w list spring semester, McCaskey net! %iof these cases have been heard uady, and quite a few of these students taapressed extreme satisfaction with 'i t*system," he said. . gifts m (art McCaskey added there is already evi­ dence this will be a much better system than the old one.

"At the present time, it takes less than seven days to handle a violation." McCaskey said it is important to give students aspeedy trial because thequicker students realize they must change their behavior if they want to stay in the community, the better.

September 11. 1W1 Students lose guaranteed loans WASHINGTON (CPS)—Thousands of students who planned to attend classes this fall discovered they are ineligible for federally guaranteed loans becauseof their schools' high default rates. The students are the unintended vic­ tims of a new Department of Education policy aimed at reducing loan defaults that will cost taxpayers $3 billion this year. The rule bars schools with high loan default rates from the Stafford, Supple­ mental Loans for Students and PLUS loan programs. "These actions are another step in the department's on-going plan to restore in­ tegrity and public confidence in the stu­ dent financial aid programs," said Michael I. FarreU, acting assistant secretary for postsecondary education. The policy—which becomes law as part of the 1990 budget deficit reduction agreement—affects students at 225 insti­ tutions, most of which are for-profit trade schools. Some of these for-profit schools have been accused of bilking the government out of millions of dollars by arranging student loans for low-income students at­ tending their institutions. According to federal officials, these students leave the schools without a usable education. Then they default on the payments because they can't earn enough to repay the loans. The Department of Education began proceedings July 17 to bar the 225schools from the loan programs. More than 542 thousand students failed to make pay­ ments on their loans in fiscal 1989. Institutions with default rates above 35 percent in 1987,1988 and 1989 and those with 1989 default rates above 60 percent will be expelled from the Guaranteed Stu­ dent Loan program, the biggest financer of higher education in the nation, unless they can show the calculated default rate is inaccurate, the school successfully serves disadvantaged students, or the de­ fault rate had dropped substantially with 1988 and 1989. Schools with rates above 60 percent in 1989 also may be excluded from other financial aid programs, including Pell grants. The expulsions will occur within the next several months. Most non-profit colleges have default rates below 5 percent. A national student lobbying group says it fears President Bush will try to expand the total expulsion from federal aid pro­ grams to students at all high default schools. Selena Dong, legislative director of the United States Student Association, said USSA opposes the current policy and plans to fight any Bush administration plan to expand it to other aid programs. "We agree that something has to be done about schools that are fraudulent But it doesn't make any sense to punish current students for the default rates of past students," said Selda Dong, legisla­ tive director of the United States Student Association. Dong said the Bush administration has forgotten the 90 percent of students who repay their loans. "It is true that students are being un­ fairly punished for something they have no control over," said Charles B. Saunders, senior vice president for governmental affairs at the AmericanCouncil on Educa­ tion. Saunders said the council has always argued for a more flexible expulsion sys­ tem rates," he said. Farrell has said that expulsions, com­ bined with great monitoring and over­ sight activities, are the best way to reign in the default problem. But Dong says the default problem wouldn 't exist if the department gave more grants to low-income students instead of requiring them to borrow money. "The federal government should just accept that they have a certain level of default when they take a risk, but it's worth the risk to put a low-income student through school," Dong said. Stressed students seek counseling (CPS)—Significantly larger numbers of college students are seeking counsel­ ing for depression, stress, eating disorders and substance abuse ata time when schools are cutting back mental health services, says a University of Florida psychologist. Eighty-five percent of directors of col­ lege counseling centers throughout the nation reported an increase in serious psy­ chological problems among college stu­ dents in the past 10 years, said James Archer, who has written a new book cal led "Counseling College Students." "I'd say it's a significant increase, and it's been steady," said Archer, director of the counseling center at the University of Florida. The type of disorders treated at the centers ranged from counseling for de­ pression, stress, alcohol and drug addic­ tion to problems stemming from physical, mental and sexual abuse. College stu­ dents also are susceptible to loneliness, feelings of alienation and pressures to get good grades and jobs. "It'snot as easy as lOto 15yearsagoto get a job with a college degree," he said. Being away from home, students also may discover for the first time that they have difficulties relating to their peers or professors because they come from abu­ sive families. Archer said it was difficult to tell whether the disorders are actually in­ creasing or whether students are more willing to seek counseling because such problems are more openly discussed. The result is the same: More students are turning to counseling centers for help. Unfortunately, most colleges are cut­ ting health services, including counsel­ ing, for lack of funding. In tight budget years, "services to students are cut at a greater rate than academic programs. Counseling and mental treatment centers get cut to a greater degree," Archer said. That was why Archersaid he decided to write the couseling book, which focuses on ways that college faculty and staff can help pinpoint troubled students and talk with them or refer the ones with serious problems to professional counselors. The idea is early detection to prevent despondent students from turning to sui­ cide, alcoholism or drug addiction, Ar­ cher said.

Keep THE APPALACHIAN THURSDAY, September 12,1991 Toxic spill tonight By JASON GIBEAU Appalachian Staff Writer A toxic spill, terrorist group, safe sex tango. Statue of Liberty, strip tease and even a little love combine to form one program. No, it's not another bizarre afternoon soapopera, these are scenes from the wildly original show, "Just One of Those Days," which will be presented by Touch Mime tonight in Farthing Auditorium. Touch Mime, based in Carrboro, has earned a reputation as one of the most outstanding Mime troops in the southeastern United States. In this show the group is confronting a variety of global issues with the use of comedy and powerful imagery. "Just One of Those Days" is a story of a woman who goes to work and is drowned in a sea of computer paper. She is then washed onto the shore of a global village created by today's media. Here she experiences a toxic spill, a terrorist group, overpopulation and love in the age of AIDS. Laurie Wolf, of Touch Mime said, "With this piece we're trying to give a sense of hope. It's hard to face issues that are bigger than you are, but as a community you can see ways of tackling problems that seem impossible." The company consists of three mimes, a musi­ cian and a lighting director. They use props that Applichhn Htmo Of ARE YOU HAVING "JUST ONE OF THOSE DAYS?"

By LORRIE GANTT Appalachian Staff Writer Imagine not having to fly to New York in order to see the stars shine on Broadway. Think of how convenient it would be if exceptional jazz could be heard in Boone, as well as in New Orleans. Wouldn't it be grand to sit before internationally renowned performers without paying an arm and a leg? Students, faculty and members of our com­ munity have the opportunity to experience fine music, dance and drama through The Perform­ ing Arts Series and the Office of Cultural Affairs. Lastyear the Major Series presented us withThe St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Broadway musi­ cal "Into The Woods" and many other spectacular performances. This year, the Major Series prom­ ises yet another collection of colorful acts and concerts. "Driving Miss Daisy" will be the first produc­ tion of the season. The play, written by Alfred Uhry, will be performed in Farthing Auditorium Sept. 30. Today, most of us are familiar with the obstinate Jewish woman and her patient black chauffeur from the motion picture,"Driving Miss Daisy." Mainstage Management will present Broadway's version of this story about two differ­ ent people who become friends during the civil rights era. The second performance in the Major Series comes all the way from Louisiana. Beausoleil, a Cajun band led by Michael Doucet, has had two Grammy nominations for their unique style of music. On Oct. 17, they will present a blend Of Cajun, Creole and French medieval sounds with jazz, island rhythms and southern boogie. "J'ai Ete Au Bal," a film on Louisiana's music and musician will also be shown. An inspiring group of performers, the Famous People Players, brings us Black Light Theater on Nov. 4.

Straight Ahead with Nothing But Sky By CHARLES STOKES Appalachian Staff Writer Straight ahead rock 'n' roll can be hard to find in the current bombardment of new bands that cling to the long hair and tattoo image. A band transcending the typical rock stereotype will make its way up the mountain Friday to play in The Pub: The Straight Ahead. "It's very danceable rock. It's hard to go to a show andnothavea good time,"said Billy Maupin, chairperson of A.P.P.S Club Shows. "Beyond the performance aspect, the band's song writing is very good." Led by fiery frontman Evan Olson,The Straight Ahead delivers a fast-paced performance of highenergy pop. Olsen frequently trades off vocal and guitar leads with guitarist Snuzz. The kinetic rhyth­ mic drive is directed by bassist Chuck Folds and drummer Eddie Walker. The Straight Ahead's pop-rock is polished, catchy and danceable. The songwriting of Olson and Snuzz gives credit to the school of Elvis Costello, Phil Collins, Van Morrison and Dave Edmunds. The radio-readiness of The Straight Ahead's music was evidently noticed at the New South Music Showcase in Atlanta. The band secured a publishing deal with Wamer/Chappell Inc. The Straight Ahead plays mostly original music with an occasional cover.The music thrives on the intense rhythm of the percussion and bass. Olsen, a strong lead vocalist, provides the core while the other band members prove their musical talent through complex solos. The band's forte is definitely the total combined sound of the individual members. Many bands have talented players but fail to produce a cohesive sound. The Straight Ahead goes beyond cohesive sound to a level of music that is truly eclectic. "They're energetic, talented, original and defi­ nitely my favorite North Carolina band," said Hannah Deaton. The Straight Ahead consists of Evan Olson on lead guitar and Eddie Walker on drums; both used to play with Majosha. Snuzz on guitar and Chuck Folds on bass complete the band. A new band to Boone, Nothing But Sky, will open for The Straight Ahead. Nothing But Sky has opened several times for The Straight Ahead in­ cluding performances at the Mad Monk in Wilmington and the Blind Tiger in Greensboro. The members of the band are Craig Glasheen on guitar and vocals, Michael Scotto on bass, Branon Edwards on guitar and Scott Peters on drums. The band formed a year ago inGreensboro.They play all original music with a few covers. "Weplay standard rock 'n' roll that's very acces­ sible," said Glasheen. "You can enjoy it without having to disect it." Influences for the band include the Beatles and Jethro Tull. "Our music is about urban alienation, appar­ ently," said Glasheen. "No, seriously, we are light. We don't talk about the world coming to an end, you don't have to sit and concentrate on the mean­ ing of the lyrics, it's just standard rock 'n' roll." % THE BOONE BAND SCENE IS JUMPING! The Straight Ahead from Greensboro will bring a great rock 'n' roll show to The Pub tomorrow. Opening for theStraight Ahead is a new band to Boone, Nothing But Sky. Expect danceable music and a good time. Also check out Impulse Ride who will play tonight at Legend's. Producer rocks Metallica's sixth album By CHRIS BRADY Appalachian Staff Writer Metallica, the self-titled sixth release shows Metallica's true musicianship. With a new pro­ ducer, Bob Rock, Metallica could have quite pos­ sibly its best album thus far. Metallica adopted a "back to basics" musical approach for this album. Excellent solos from Metallica's lead guitarist.Kirk Hammett, enhances the album with bassist, Jason Newsted, delivering some of his best work. Metallica has always been classified as a "speed metal" band and now it is expanding its musician­ ship and breaking away from those stereotypes. Metallica even showcases a ballad of sorts in "Nothing Else Matters." This song has a very personal touch to it,something Metallica has never dealt with in its other albums. This album focuses on emotional expression more than the social is­ sues Metallica fans are used to seeing. The songs"Through the Never," "The Struggle Within," and "Of Wolf and Man" are hard-driving metal songs typical of the Metallica sound. "Wher­ ever I May Roam," "Enter Sandman," and "Sad But True" are songs that present a forward ap­ proach lyrically. Metallica was produced by Rock with rhythm guitarist/lead vocalist James Hetfield and drum­ mer Lars Ulrich.Hetfield and Ulrich do the major­ ity of songwriting as on previous albums. The lyrics are serious in nature and promote thought unlike most works in today's commercial­ ized music industry. Metallica has always been a band that called its own shots and I was surprised when it announced Rock would produce the al­ bum. Rock's influence is apparent on the album but Metallica is still far from selling out. Rock has worked with bands in the past who were commercializedbutMetallicafans need not worry. Metallica is better than eveT. "The Unforgiven" is a song that starts with an acoustic guitar and builds into a hard-hitting intro­ duction with the electric guitars. The lyrics in this particular song are sad but inspiring. "My Friend of Misery" is another song with superb lyrics backed with music that enhances the point of the song. Metallica always seems to make powerful music that enhances the lyrical contentof its songs. "Enter Sandman" is the first single and video from the album. It airs on MTV every hour and radio stations have jumped on the overplay band­ wagon. Metallica has never been a "radio-ready" band. In a recent "Entertainment Weekly" interview, Hetfield said, "Nowadays it's really strange—all these giant acts selling millions of records and no one comes to see them (live) because they can watch them on MTV. And they can get a better look at them." Metallica is scheduled to begin its American tour in October with Skid Row in the opening slot. This will definitely be an incredible show. I would recommend the new release from Metallica to any true fan of music for music's sake. There are not many great bands with positive messages left in the industry who stand by what they believe. �The Appalachian. Thursday.

Weaver feels this meet will be an excit­ ing one for the Lady Mountaineers, par­ ticularly with the competition from the conference opponents. LADY APPS READY: The ASU Lady Mountaineer field hockey squad has con­ cluded preseason practice and is set for the regular season to begin. Head Coach Cathy Burleson is back at the helm for the Lady Apps. A lot of times when a football player enjoys staggering success in his first two years of college football, he tends to sit back, look at his record and rest on his laurels. However, that is definitely not the case with RicoMack, Appalachian State's splendid junior linebacker. It would be easy for Mack to fall into the trap that befalls many young football stars. His resumd includes being selected as a first team All-Southern Conference and Associated Press third-team AilAmerican in 1990. Mack was twice named conference player-of-the-week last sea­ son and tied a school record with a 100yard interception return against James Madison in last year's season finale. Through his first two seasons as a Moun­ taineer, Mack racked up148 tackles. That statistic was impressive enough to earn Mack 1991 pre season Southern Confer­ ence Defensive Player-of-the-Year hon­ ors. Two games into the 1991 season. Mack, who has already tallied 23 stops, appears headed toward fulfilling that pre­ diction. However, neither Mack nor Ruffin McNeill, ASU'soutsidelinebacker coach, are thatconcerned about the awards Mack has garnered in his still young career. "I try not to focus on just getting recog­ nized," Mack said. "I try to focus on playing and helping the team. It's not an 'I thing.' If there weren't 11 guys out there, I wouldn't make any tackles." McNeill also stressed the team aspect of Mack's play, saying, "One thing that Coach (David) Knaus (ASU's defensive coordinator) really preaches to the de­ fense is team unity and 'team first.' The awards Rico has gotten can be attributed to the team and the success the team has had. It does mean a lot to us as a team to see that one of us has gotten some recog­ nition from the conference and the nation as well." Still, it would be impossible to deny how much Mack means to Appalachian's football hopes this year. Thestrides Mack made between his freshman and sopho­ more seasons were extraordinary. Mack went from a reserve linebacker that posted only 54 tackles in 1989, to last season's 94-tackle, all-conference performance. Mack's continued improvement can in part be attributed to hard off-season work in the weight room. Coming into this RICO MACK § Outside Linebacker 6'4" 219 lbs Junior- Special Education Statham, GA •1991 SC preseason player of the year •1990 AP third team AilAmerican •Had a 100-yard interception return for a touchdown last year vs. James Madison season. Mack explained a new dedication to fundamentals is his primary goal. "I'm trying to become more techniqueoriented," Mack explained. "Last year I think it was just the big plays that made my season. Imadesomebigplaysandhad a lot of tackles last year. This year I'm trying to focus on getting my technique down, rather than being worried about making big plays." Indeed, Mack arguably earned his repu­ tation around the SC on the basis of those "big plays." Besides the 100-yard inter­ ception romp against the Dukes, Mack picked off three other passes last season, including one against The Citadel that he returned for another touchdown. He led ASU in caused fumbles with three, tack­ les and tackles for loss and was second on the team in sacks. All of this has led many observers to begin speculating about the ASU junior's possible future in the National Football League. "He's already got the mental toughness (to play pro football) right now and that will keep continuing," McNeill said. "He's also very conscientious about working in practice and I think the secret to Rico is he works very hard in practice and that carries over into games. Games become easy because practice is so hard. His strength will improve and his size will come, and besides that I think the NFL will come if he takescare of his business." Last Saturday, Mack was able to show his wares against one of the top teams in the country in the Clemson Tigers. It was also an opportunity for Mack to play op­ posite Clemson's pair of All-American linebackers Levon Kirkland and Ed McDaniel. Mack's performance was one of the Mountaineer bright spots as he and the rest of his defensive mates held the eighth-ranked Tigers to a mere 10 points in thesecond half and totally kept Clemson off the scoreboard in the fourth quarter. Mack had 11 tackles on the day, his sec­ ond-straight double digit tackle perfor­ mance of the season. "I wouldn't want to go anywhere else in the country, Clemson, UCLA or any other place like that without Rico," McNeill said. I mean that because I trust him for one, and also talent-wise there'sno differ­ ence. The biggest thing is I know he will give it his all for 60 minutes for the team. He could play about anywhere he wanted to and we are just very fortunate to have him here at Appalachian State."

VMI placed last with 102 points. The meet was the first of two straight home meets for the Mountaineers, who will also play host to theSouthern Confer­ ence Championships at the end of the regular season. "It was a real solid team effort, ASU Head Coach A1 Fereshetian said. "We closed out our scoring before the other teams and when that happens you know you are in good shape." The solid effort was lead by num­ ber one runner and returnee Billy Pemberton, who finished with an im­ pressive time of 26:18. Steve Simadle followed with a time of 26:40, while Brian Miesch and Mike Bowers came in at 26:44 and 26*50, respectively. Brian Watkins was close behind as he finished at 26:58. Fereshetian was impressed with the performances of the two freshmen, Miesch and Marc Noble. Noble finished the race at 27:09. One goal of the Mountaineers is to lower the times when conference meets begin and put themselves in a position to win the conference, a feat they have done two of the last four years. "This year, wehave areal mature group of athletes that have a great deal of expe­ rience," Fereshetian said. The Mountaineers toughest competi­ tion will come from EastTennessee State University, the defending conference champions. Coach Fereshetian feels ETSU has the best talent, but thinks its depth is suspect "We're looking for good solid consis­ tent races and we hope to keep our group close together in the races," Fereshetian said. The Mountaineers will need to do just that all season to set themselves up for a shot at the Southern Conference cham­ pionship. ASU hosts the conference meet November 2. The Mountaineers are expected to pose a serious challenge for the SC title. The Mountaineers are shooting for their third conference crown in five years. The Mountaineers return to action on Saturday, Sept. 22, when they play host to another home meet. This will be the Mountaineer's last home meet before the SC Championships. �The Annalarhinn Thursday.

University restricts beer sale (CPS)—A debate has been brewing over the sale of suds at Colorado State University games.The final decision: beer will continue to flow in Hughes Stadium— just a little less than before. The question of whether to discontinue sales in the stadium emerged after the school experienced problems with fans drinking at football games. "I think, in perspective, the problems have been large in number but small in magnitude," said Keith Miger, vice presi­ dent for student affairs. Still, in its decision to continue selling beer, the university placed some restric­ tions on sales. The policy states that no alcohol can be brought into the stadium, vendors cannot sell beer in the stands, a person may only buy one beer each time he or she is at the concession stand and sales will stop at halftime. "We're really trying to use this as an all-out campaign for behavior," Miger said. "We are trying to work with our student government to launch an educa­ tional campaign about drinking." In past years, consessionaires could sell two beers to an individual who visited their stands, they sold beer throughout the entire game and people were allowed to bring their own alcohol into the sta­ dium. "We'll have a review committee at the end of the year. We're moving one step at a time," Miger said. "If there is any escalation of our alcohol problems of the past, we will halt the sales immedi­ ately." Colorado State is one of only a handful of universities that allow beer sales in stadiums. Some others include the Uni­ versity of Colorado, University of Ha­ waii, San Diego State University and the University of Califomia-Fullerton.

The source of this controversy is easy to spot: should we celebrate the American victory in the Persian Gulf War? Harder to pinpoint is this: should the rhetoric of the new American pride be singled out as the source of all evil? Before we discuss this point, we should first discuss what really is the nature of that rhetoric. Moreover, rather than discussing it in abstract, symbolic or theoretical quasi-Aristotelian terms, we should discuss it in real life terms. That is, we should talk about the rhetoric as it was at last Thursday's ceremony. The rhetoric used by Gen. Kelly—I assume that most of you know that it was Gen. Thomas Kelly (U.S. Army, retired) who delivered the principal address at the convo­ cation—was brilliant. Military and political rhetoric isso often far enough removed from the language and thoughts of everyday life that much is lost in the translation. Not so in this case. Kelly's discourse was well suited to his arena. Given that his audience was composed mostly of college freshmen and sophomores, with a respectable contingent of military personnel and ROTC cadets as well as members of the academy, Kelly had to apply his speech in such a way that all sensibilities would be spared. Thus, Kelly had to walk a fine line between emotion and logic while maintaining his tone of author­ ity. Kelly began his speech by reminding us that "War is evil. Going out and killing people is evil." This statement accomplishes two things: first, it raises feelings of justice and anger in us that appeal to the emotional and the logical planes; and, second, it opens a gap in his claim to authority by inviting a charge of hypocrisy. Assuming, of course, that his audience is human, Kelly knows that his appeals to logic and emotion can be realized at the same point that the charge of hypocrisy arises. Therefore, before the audience could become set, he amplifies the logical and emotional responses by pointing out that if America had been militarily and ideologically strong in 1937, the Holocaust might have been prevented. His logic is nearly irrefutable, and the emotional thought that millions of deaths might have been prevented is irresistible. He then invoked the rheto­ ric of "clear and present danger," guaranteeing that his audience could see the logic of his position. It is here that the crucial connection is made: by raising, at this point, the question of pride in terms of the American experience in Vietnam, and pointing out that the only valuable things about a mistake is learning from it, Kelly nearly set up what would be his major theme— American military excellence. He then put this theme in perspective in the most subtle way possible by invoking the spirit of youth. "The mostdefamed group in America," says Kelly,"is the youth." At this point the audience gave an almost notable nod. Kelly was on his way. Of course, a little creative humor doesn't hurt: "The media defames itself...Politicians do it intentionally." This subtle and brilliant tactic gave the audience an opportunity to laugh, and at the same time provided the general with a bit of damage control: whoever might say he was wrong, they would be wrong to say so. (This is how the media and the politicians defame themselves.) As Kelly launched into his general discussion, he reminded us: "And by the way, once again, war is evil." His emotional appeal had become strong enough for him to begin, and the general seemed to sense this. He laid on one final brick just to be sure. Re-invoking the Holocaust theme, he gave the audience a wonderful Knute Rockney: "If you are going to do it, do it quick—go on in and get it." Cue applause. The rest of the speech was not quite as remarkable; but then again it didn't have to be.The general had begun by bullet-proofing his rhetoric, and had done it so well that everything he said was bound to sell. By gently poking fun at the other nations in the Mid-East coalition, Kelly . brought gales of laughter from the audience. His com- * parison of the clean-fun sorties of the Persian Gulf and the,* fiascoes of Vietnam brought immediate understanding J His emotional appeals were swallowed whole, sans bev-'m » erage ("I thank God George Bush is President right now," Cue applause.) •J By continually invoking the destructive potential of Saddam Hussein—not Iraq, as Dr. Alan J. Hauser of the philosophy department later noted, but its leader—Kelly prevented any possible doubt as to the veracity of his claim. r' 0 "There are opportunities to commit military force every day,"said Kelly. "The case of Saddam Hussein was exceptional." Kelly quelled any possible objections to the necessity of war in this case, but did not sacrifice the emotional for the logical. ' "There are those out there whosay we traded blood for oil. Well, we did trade blood for oil..Rut this is not what that was about." Of the rest of the speechlittle need besaid. Somemight claim that Kelly's three separate detailed descriptions of the strategy behind the decisive military campaign, and his two further descriptions of Hussein's destructive potential, were a little much. But from a rhetorical stand­ point, they were just about right. It seems an odd twist that the rhetoric of the sports world would have gone so much to ground in the military world—after all, the rhetoric of the sports world origi­ nated in the military—but itseems to be working.In what other way would it be possible for America to create the excitingly gross physical and economical—not to men­ tion ecological—damage resultant from the Persian Gulf war with little more than a whisper of dissent from her people? And why else would it be that a member of the establishment that caused this wonderful damage re­ ceived an excellent audience and received a standing ovation for lauding this extensive damage while a mere double-handful gathered outside to protest? This is why there were so few gathered at the "Counter-convocation" on Sanford Mall: The really good rhetoric was inside. So this is the New Military Rhetoric. It seems to be working. I hope you're happy with it. Editor's note: Williams is a graduate student in En­ glish. Let's examine some alternatives By JOSEPH RAYLE Appalachian Commentary Editor Our latest militaristic adventureabroad was brought to us by a mostly corporate controlled media, and now we get the history of the thing taught to us by the generals. Questioning a topic is a far cry from censorship, and yet there was quite a bit of squawking when some of us pro­ tested anevent that celebrated our"come­ back" because of our efficiency at gun­ ning down our fellow human beings. I'm tired of qualifying everything that I say about this terrible business by saying that I support the troops. I dosupport these human beings who were caught up in a senseless conflict engineered by the cheap and greedy fascists masquerading as our government. Our Realpolitick solution of bombing adeveloping country back to the stone age is abhorrent, misguided and it is a situation that we cannot win. This war was about greed. It is an example of lengths to which we shall go to control other people in order to feed our addiction to fossil fuels. Addiction is the only way to describe our dependence on fossil fuel. Addiction isn'tnecessarily a physiologi­ cal thing. An addiction is an unhealthy relationship with a substance, process or another human being. All addictions are self-destructive. Addicts are capable of denying almost anything, even when reality occasionally smacks them in the face. We are a nation of fossil fuel addicts. As addicts, we think only in absolutes. One is either for or against the war. One iseither a dreamer or a realist. Morality exists in terms of right and wrong. This kind of reasoning, along with ev­ ery addict's need to have control (or an illusion of control) is going to perpetuate the cycle of all of the forms of violence that we are so desperately trying to come to terms with today. This need for control probably stands in the way of our ability to explore and find solutions to our problems. Particu­ larly the violence of our environmental destruction. We are poisoning our water, suffocat­ ing ourselves with auto emissions and ©1991, Tribune Media Services RU&EN BOLUNQ- trashing our natural forests for paper at a rate too terrible to think about "We are literally wiping our...with our future," as performer/activist Jello Biafra once put it. We aregoing to have tochange the way we think about some of the resources available to us on our planet In doing so, it probably means that we will do some weird things to a few giant corporations who already have more money than they know what to do with. One such resource is the hemp plant (Cannabis sativa). Many people have been taught that its only use is for alteringone's consciousness. There are many moreprac­ tical uses for the plant as well. To start with, you can make methanol, which bums much more cleanly than pe­ troleum, out of hemp more efficiently than you can with com or sugar cane. In some parts of the world, it has become economically viable to do this. The same would probably be true here if hemp pro­ duction were legal. Another big pollution-producing pro­ cess that could be cut down on with hemp is paper. It is possible to make paper from hemp with a fraction of the chemicals mwmrnm ^MEMBER: NEVER use THE* A"-WORD.'

Paper has been made from hemp for thousands of years. Bibles were printed on hemp paper. So was the first draft of the Decla­ ration of Independence. By law, the fed­ eral government only used hemp paper until the 1920s. Hemp has been with us a long time. Even after it was outlawed, the depart-'' ment of defense had farmers producing it for a number of uses, documented in the United States Department of Agriculture film, "Hemp for Victory." Hemp even saved the life of George Bush when he bailed out of his plane during World War II—his parachute webbing, the lubricants in his plane motor, the firehoses and ropes on the ship that pulled him from the sea were all made of hemp. I wonder if he knows....? To the Editor I am writing to express my dissatis­ faction with the on-campus cable television system and to make a suggestion to "The Appalachian." First, let's address the cable system: Last year, students were given a form that asked them to check which stations they wished to remain on on-campus television. Last year, C-SPAN was broadcast to ASU. This year, it is not I think that the fact that C-SPAN is no longer offered at ASU is deplorable. Even if the majority of the students who respond to the survey were against having C-SPAN, it still should be offered since the media, both written and broadcast, have a responsibility to make information concerning the government available to the public. For this reason, the cable company should start sending C-SPAN to ASU even if the majority of the students do not care about it. While on the subject of the media's relationship to government, I think that it's time that someone made a sugges­ tion to the Appalachian: You guys need to do some objective reporting about the corruption that is present in our Student Government Association. After having served in student government last year and after having made knowledge concerning some unethical activities that were going on available to 'The Appalachian," I can only conclude that you guys were either 1) biased toward last year's SGA administration or 2) apathetic. If you weren't biased or apathetic, then you would have done a story concerning my resignation-inprotest from the Scales/"Ghent adminis­ tration. I hope that you guys decide to change by doing some objective reporting this year. Sincerely, Randy Hill ASU Box 15737 �12 The Appalachian Thurttitiy.

The black male nmde rate is 73.4 per 100,000 Park By SUZI LANDIS Appalachian Staff Writer "Think Globally, Act Locally" means more than concern for environmental is­ sues. OnTuesday, Sept. 3, the slogan was given as a possible solution to violent acts. Over 800 ASU students, faculty, and community members gathered on thecampus of ASU for the second annual Aware­ ness Walk. Beginning at the B.B. Dougherty Administration Building, the mass of people came together as a com­ munity to heighten awareness of violent acts of all kinds. The walk is in remembrance of Jeni Gray, a staff writer for theuniversity news bureau, who was abducted and murdered while walking on the ASU campus and surrounding community in 1989. "In 1989 our bubble was burst," said Chancellor John Thomas. "This (walk) is a statement against all acts of violence." In a recent proclamation, U.S. Presi­ dent George Bush said, "Campus crime disrupts the vital functionsof colleges and universities, thereby depriving students of an optimal educational experience." Barbara Daye, associate vice chancel­ lor for student development, spoke at the walk, urgingeach person to "examine our own acts and life." She then asked the participants to walk in silence to remem­ ber the violent acts committed on Jeni Gray and other victims. Boone Mayor Velma Burly, Chancel­ lor John Thomas and his wife Jane and SGA President Daryl Ghent led the group through campus and up King Street to the Lois Harrill Senior Center. During the walk, a bell tolled every six minutes to remind participants that every six minutes an act of violence is committed on a woman. As the crowd progressed, on­ lookers stopped to watch from their apart­ ment windows or opened doors. The crowd gathered together again at the Lois Harrill Senior Center for words and song. Volunteers handed out white candles and information on violence and resource centers. "This is a great idea,"said ASU student Jessica Williams. "I didn't know Jeni, but if this will help in any way then it's well worth it." Dr. Donald Sanz, director of the ASU counseling center, then spoke tothe crowd about scars and violence. "We are creating a generation of vic­ tims,"said Dr. Sanz. "Jeni stoodfor some­ thing. She died in the process of commu­ nicating to our world." "Stopping theft, vandalism, sexual as­ sault and other crimes on campus will require the sustained cooperation of stu­ dents, administrators and staff, as well as campus security personnel and law en­ forcement officials," President Bush said. Before closing the walk, ASU students Stacy Danner, Marsha Danner, andFelicia Waugh lead the crowd in an acappella song"NeverTuming Back." Voices loudly proclaimed "We're gonnakeep on walk­ ing forward...Never turning back...Never turning back." As students walked back to campus, Barbara Daye stressed that the success of the Awareness Walk cannot be mea­ sured in numbers. "We will know its suc­ cess if it has an impact on the people," she said. The Awareness Walk will be an annual event held the Tuesday after Labor Day. "It's important to sensitize new students and reinforce safety in old students," ex­ plained Daye.

"I firmly believe that we're going to come out of this stronger than we went into it," said Harvey Durham,provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs, of the cuts that have been made to faculty, staff, and administrative positions. "It's difficult to take cuts of $5.5 mil­ lion and continue on with business as usual but I don't think that the cuts will affect students that much.I think they will affect faculty," Durham said.

"It is the faculty's right and responsi­ bility to suggest guidelines for the curtail­ ment It is not the administration's pre­ rogative to do this. The faculty mustcome up with those," Durham said. While some programs or majors which graduate few students could be deleted »av»»i» the curriculum entirely. wvivivu from , other programs will probably lose some of their elective choices, Durham specu­ lated. Another option that was suggested but will not occur involved increasing class sizes from 35-40 to 300-400, like some universities across the state. "Appalachian has built a reputation on having relatively small classes and if we went that route (larger class sizes)it would be difficult to back off. That's where the students would be done a disservice," Durham said. lyuiiioiti jatu. Despite the expected deletion or re­ structuring of several programs, Durham said that theuniversity would make every attempt to retain jobs for the faculty and staff that occupied those positions by re­ training them. "We always need advisers or freshman seminar professors. Some faculty might be able to teach other courses, others may even be able tocross departmental lines," Durham said. However, he added that the quality of education a student receives at Appala­ chian will not be affected by the deletion of some courses. "Most people change careers five or six times in their life. It is their under­ graduate training or their general educa­ tion courses which sustain them through­ out their career, not necessarily the train­ ing they receive withtheirmajor," Durham said.

Some students and faculty chose to disagree with the university's choice of Kelly as the speaker for the convocation. An "alternative" or "counter" convoca­ tion was held on Sanford Mall for those who said they did not want to celebrate war and militarism, while other faculty members wore white arm bands, symbol­ izing peace, to the ceremony.

However, Dr. Ward Zimmerman, vice chancellor for business affairs, said the university willnot take theproposal to the Board of Governors. 'The intent of the moratorium was not to increase fees for the entire year. But not having the fees is causing financial hard­ ship in certain areas, but having the fees could cause hardship too," Zimmerman said. While he said he could only speculate as to what happens with next year's fees. An open reception will be held Sept. 13 from 6:30 to 8:30 prn. at the gallery and Jones House. The reception will include a tour of the Rosen Outdoor Sculpture Competition which is comprised of works by Tri-State Sculptors Guild members. Fees and charges related to liquidation of indebtedness include a proposed $70 for the student union expansion and $3 for student facility. Other proposed service charge increases are for textbook rental, which would be $15 more. If approved, students living on-campus would be expected to pay an additional $100 for room and $50 for board. The student development committee reviewed their accomplishments, ranging from the new child care center which can accomodate 55 children to the new pro­ grams they are currently developing. In other business, the university ad­ vancement committee gave its report, which stated that the ASU Foundation had a good year.

More and more PhDs across the coun­ try are recommending Hewlett-Packard financial and scientific calculators to their students. And for some very strong reasons. "The HP 48SX Scientific Expandable has powerful graphics tools that are remarkably helpful to students learn­ ing mathematical concepts. And with the equation solver feature, it's excel­ lent for applying mathematics to engineering," according to Dr. William Rahmeyer, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Utah State University. "The HP Business Consultant II has an equation solver and extensive math functions. These free the students from computational tedium so they can think and interact on a higher level!' says Dr. Lee V. Stiff, a professor of math education at North Carolina State University. So go check out the HP calculator line at your college bookstore or HP retailer. You'll agree, there's no faster relief from the pain of tough problems.

Zimmerman said, "It is in our best politi­ cal interest not to appeal any fees for the spring semester." In other business affairs, thecommittee presented the board with the proposed fee increases for 1992-93. In the board s next meeting, which will be Dec. 5 & 6, they will discuss the proposed fees for the upcoming school year. "Our concerns are going into next year (fees)," said Thomas E. Chandler, busi­ ness affairs committee chairman. The proposed fee increases would add $140 to each student's fees, which is $30 less than the proposed increase of $170 that was approved but not instated for the 1991-92 year. General proposed fee increases include $18 for athletics, $15 for health services, and $34 for student activities. �V V The Appalachian. Tuesday.

ASU celebrated with the annual convocation assembly. The speaker, retired Lt. Gen. Thomas Kelly, served as director of operations for the Joint Staff, as well as many other duties. General Kelly was one of the many leaders who contributed to our victory in the Persian Gulf. Many of Appalachian's students agreed with General Kelly and his spieech titled"Pride: America is Back. Kelly spoke of the war and its impact on America and our history.It gave students prride to know they were part of the battle at home to keep the spirit alive and to welcome our men and women home. Even those who did not sup­ port the war were praying for the safety of our soldiers. Applause echoed through the gym at the men­ tion of President George Bush and other leaders. Student Kim James stated that she felt "every­ one could listen to him." Others felt he shed a new light on the subject of Desert Storm. Kelly admitted that war was bad in itself, but sometimes it must beused to stop other, more evil forces. Kelly said, "War is evil... and inorder to be justified, it must be the lesser of the two evils." ROTC student David Schwier said, "General Kelly was an excellent spreaker. He showed us a side of the war that we couldn't see from the campius." Supporters of General Kelly's spieech attended, but protesters did also. Many students and some faculty members boycotted the convocation cer­ emony because they felt he may have represented one opinion on campus but not both sides. In the wordsof Dr. Gregory Reck,"Convocation is a time of celebration and unity, and this program didn't seem to have those values." Rather than not go at all, several of these nonsupporters congregated in Sanford Mall for what was called "An Alternative Celebration." Music was played and friends gathered for fellowship. Fliers werepassed out at the door to the gymnasium making statments such as: "Is military conquest ever valid basis for pride?" "In today's world, can a war really be won?" and "Does our newly-found pride encourage us to ignore asprecis of America of which we should not be proud (pxrverty, infant mortality, homelessness, unemployment, inad­ equate education and health care, etc.)?" These students and faculty members wore white arm bands "as a symbol of preace." These suprproit­ ers felt General Kelly did not represent the unity that was needed for this presentation. "People at ASU knew that the war was contro­ versial, but they still divided theschool by choosing him as a spreaker," stated Sandy Feutz. Chris Sexton said he "didn't want (Kelly) to be the way we celebrateour birthday. Our celebration should be about life, not death." Still another group of students and faculty at­ tending the ceremony felt General Kelly's spieech was very upliftingbut not appropriate for the occa­ sion. For instance, Appalachian State was hardly mentioned in the spieech, even though that was the reason we were gathered together. These pieople felt it could have been more effective if Kelly had not sprent so much time on the technical terms and procedures that meant nothing to the average stu­ dent. One professor was overheard saying, "He was definitely a man who enjoys his job. If he could have communicated that better to the students, it would have been much more effective." AppMtchltn Photo by Jonnittf Mom* 1st AMENDMENT EXERCISED: A faction of students and faculty gathered at Sanford Mall protesting the spreaker for Convocation on Thursday of last week. Songs were sung, literature was distributed and voices were expressed during the rally on Sept. 5. ASU security strives for campus safety By MELISSA DAMERON Appalachian Staff Writer Because societal safety is a great concern, ASU has been making a huge effort to maintain the security of the campus. One example of the con­ cern on campus is the Mountaineer Escort Service. Brought about by the Student Government Asso­ ciation andnow inits sixth year, the escort service was formed to eliminate students' need to walk on campus alone at night. Director of Mountaineer Escort Jim Norket said, "The service receives about 25 callspier night. The escorts were originally accustomed to walking but now have the convenience of a van which extends their route outside of campus." The ser­ vice provides help to King Street, Kingswood Apartments, Apipletree Apiartments over to KelPat, Mountaineer Apartments and piarking lots at Horn in the West, Broyhill Conference Center and State Farm. However, some students have had complaints about their safety. Heather Freeman said, 'Too many rumors are floating around and scaring pieople so no one feels safe." Students like Heather who work at night cannot take advantage of the AppalCart and need a safe way home. The service does not opierate during the summer semester or on weekends.Twice Mountaineer Es­ cort attempted to opierate on weekends but very few calls were made. The service runs Sunday through Thursday from dark until 12:15 a.m. The Student Affairs Committee helps with stu­ dent safety by walking around campus and check­ ing for overgrown bushes and broken lights and repxirting these to security. Along with the escort service, the campus also helps with student safety by promoting Safety Awareness Week. In 1989 a march with roughly one hundred participants walked against violence for the first time after the murder of Jeni Gray, an ASUnews bureau employ ee .The march was started in hopies of promoting safety awareness on lite ASU campus. This year's walk, held on Sep*. 3, included Barbara Daye, vice-chancellor of student development, the student affairs commitee, cam­ pus security and up to 1,000 students. Daye helpied with the planning of the 1991 Awareness Walk. "I was pleased with the number of pieople that attended and the suppxirt that was given," she said. "Success will be really measured by the changes in attitudes and the respiect for others on campus." The number for Mountaineer Escort, which is located in the security building, is 262-6438. Senate promotes student involvement By KATE HESS Appalachian Staff Writer During the first weeks of school, one phrase oftenheard around campus is "get involved."There are a variety of clubs, spxirts and activities to take part in, but some students don't know where to begin. The student Senate is a large organization on campus that affects the lives of many of the stu­ dents and faculty. There are 39 off-campius seats, and two on-campus seats from each dorm avail­ able. Being a member of the Senate allows you to have a voice in university piolicies, as well as developing communication skills. For example, on Locust Street during the sum­ mer, spicedbumpis werebuilt because Doug Duncan, a member of the Senate, propiosed the idea at a meeting, and it was voted on. Last year a big complaint among the student body was they weren't informed about bills being passed. For example, student fees were increased, and no one really understood why or how it was voted on. According to SGA Vice President Reggie Murphy, students willbe better informed this year. The office of student development purchased a full-page advertisement in "The Appalachian," with a section for information about the student government. Also, when senators attend the RSA meetings, they will give information about bills the Senate is working on at the time. That way students can express opinions and concerns about the bills and other issues. On Wed., Sep*. 11, at 5 p.m. on Sanford Mall, SGA will host aparty to getpieople involved. Most of the candidates will be pjresent so you can meet the pieople you will be voting for. All senators are required to go to RSAmeetings, where students can expiress their problems or con­ cerns abouthappenings around campus. The sena­ tors thenrepxirt this information back to the student government and certain issues are voted on. Every­ one is welcome to come to the meetings of the Senate every Tuesday at 6:15p.m. inroom 1020of the College ofBusiness. There will be information about the Senate on the Appalnet if you can't attend a meeting. The voting for student Senate will take place on Sept. 11 and 12. On-campus voting will be in the residence halls on Sept. 12 from 5-9 pm, and offcampus will be on Sept. 11 and 12 from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. in the student union. Dino DiBemardi, direc­ tor of the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership, said, "This is an oppiortunity to select the best piossible pieople for our student govern­ ment." SGA President Daryl Ghent said, "Being active in the student senate can make you a more well-rounded student with a sense of leader­ ship." Voting is a way to be involved with piolicies around campus,even if the student is not amember of the Senate. According to Ghent, "by students' voting, it shows the administration that the student body is supporting the Senate." The nominations for this year's senate have been closed, but if seats are available after the elections, youcan pietition to get aplace as aSenate member. Razzle Dazzle begins intramural year By RANDALL REININK Appalachian Staff Writer Xflpjtac/uwl Photo by Randall Reinink BLINDFOLDED ANONYMITY: Above is an example of an activity at last year's Razzle Dazzle. In its 3rd consecutive year, theprogram continues to gainparticipants. The intramural spiort's intentions are to promote new friendships by offering bizarre interaction games. It shakes, it shimmies, it rolls: it's the third annual Razzle Dazzle on Sanford Mall. Razzle Dazzle is a fun, goofy spiecial event piut on by intramural spxirts. "Razzle Dazzle is a kick-off event for intra­ mural spxirts," said Jim Eubanks, coordinator for intramural sports. "Wehave iton Sanford Mall so it will have the maximum amount of expxisure." Razzle Dazzle has six fun events: Chinny chin chin, Put-it-on-take-it-off, wild thing (an obstacle course), blind barrel roll, centipede shuffle, and a seven legged race. "These events are scientifically designed so no one with athletic ability has an advantage," said Eubanks. "Everyone who enters will receive a Budweiser T-shirt,"saidMikeBlanton, intramural teamspiorts programmer. "The winning team will recieve some really nice Budweiser ski jackets. The second place team will get a Budweiser duffle bag, and everyone will have fun." This year's compietition is limited to 30 teams. "The first year we had this, only six teams com­ pleted. Last year, we had thirty, and five teams on standby," Eubanks commented. All teams are co-recreational. Teams have a minimum of six members. Three aremen, threeare women. "Each team can have eight max. Two are for alternates," said Blanton. "We have the teams co-rec so pieople can meet other pieople and have fun. This event isn't just for freshmen; it is for everyone. We'realso trying to tie in May Day in the spiring. It's a similar event we hold in the spiring, and it caps off the year," said Eubanks. T-shirts and pirizes are given by Forester Bever­ age. "Without their help, we wouldn't be able to have Razzle Dazzle in this form." said Eubanks. "As we get larger, who knows what will happien? We've about reached the limit on Sanford Mall, but if it goes off the Mall we'll lose the visibility." "We did it for the fun...and the t-shirts," said Keith Jackson, one of last year'swinners. Jackson's team, "Bad News" came in first, out of all thirty teams. "When we won we were shocked...we put the team together two days before the event. Our team consisted of myself, two of my friends, my girl­ friend and two of her friends. "Our best event was Put-it-on-take-it-off. We watched what everyone else was doing wrong so we could do it better," said Jackson. Razzle Dazzle is designed to introduce students to the world of intramural spiors.

The Ahps could muster only 18 yards of offense in the first half and didn't record their first first down until 13:50 mark of the third quarter. We thought we had developed a good scheme to punch the ball at them," Moore said. "We wanted to stay out of long yardage situations. We had plays where we thought we would make four or five yards, then they would just shut it down." ASU quarterback D.J. Campbell was overmatched against the Tiger defense. Campbell completed 5 of 10 passes for 33 yards and no interceptions before leaving the game in the third quarter. Sophomore quarterback Andy Arnold saw action in the second half and connected on five of eight passes for 49 yards. "We decided early in the week that we were going to play Andy Arnold and the three freshmen backs (Nate Abraham, Chip Hooks and Willie Mclain), Moore said. "That was no reflection on D.J." The Tigers scored on four straight pos­ sessions to seize command of the game in the first half. Williams capped off a six-play, 41yarddriveby scampering 14yards around the right end for Clemson's first score of the afternoon, less than four minutes into the contest. After a Harold Alexander punt, the Tigers embarked on their most time con­ suming drive of the afternoon, a 16 play. seven minute drive that endedin a Caputo two-yard touchdown burst. Witherspoon chalked up 36 yardsrush­ ing on the Tigers 10-play, 67-yard drive, including a one-yard touchdown effort Nathan Welch's extra point gave the Ti­ gers a 24-0 lead at intermission. ASU fullback J.K. Reaves' fumble set up a 31-yard field goal from Welch that extended Clemson's lead to 27-0 early in the third quarter. The Tigers' final score of the contest came with 1:43 to go in the third quarter, when backup quarterback Richard Moncrief connected with wide receiver Terry Smithon anine-yard scoring strike. Welch's extra point gave the Tigers a 340 cushion. "I thought our defense did a good job and never gave up today,"Moore said."A lesser defense might have given up 18 to 20 more points this afternoon. And our defense was on the field for a long time today." "This is a much improved team over last year and will be a contender in its conference," Hatfield said. Moore said that despite the outcome of the game, the Mountaineers werestill able to establish some positive things. "We saw some good things this after­ noon," Moore said."We got some younger players in the game and got a good look at them. We showed we are an improved football team." "Our players have a lot of pride and Appalachian has been a team to contend for the Southern Conference and the NCAA playoffs and we feel we are that typeof team againthis year,"Moore added.

Appalachian midfielder Keith Ellis stated, "We surprised Wake.I thought we played really well. We worked hard as a team andlooked experienced.Ithink we're going to surprise a lot of teams this year." Appalachian, with 11 new team mem­ bers, started three freshmenand one trans­ fer in the game.Goals were scored against Appalachian at the 35-minute mark and again in the last few minutes of the game. Appalachian goalie Earl Morganhad eight saves. Overall, Appalachian had 14 at­ tempts at the goal. Appalachian had several good oppor­ tunities to score in the game but was unable to capitalize. Forward Bobby Mar­ tin had three shots on goal from inside twenty yards, including a five-yard chip shot late in the second half; however, the Wake goalie managed to get a hand on the ball and tip it over the net, preserving the shutout. The loss to Wake marked the first time in two seasons theMountaineers had failed to score in a game.

Nelson was named most valuable player of the Piccadeli Invitational volleyball tournament, which theLady Mountaineers wonby defeating JamesMadison University Saturday night in Varsity Gym. Appalachian State earned its first vol­ leyball championship of the year last week­ end by winning the Piccadeli Invitational tournament in Varsity Gymnasium. ASU, the host team, defeated James Madison University in the championship game Saturday night to win the tourney for the second year in a row. The Lady Apps got started Friday night with a romp past Winthrop College. ASU whipped the Lady Eagles 15-6,150, and 15-2 in a match that was every bit the mismatch the final score indicates. At one point, the Lady Mountaineers scored 24 straight points off a hapless Winthrop team that was often caught out ofposition by aquick-hitting, roving ASU offense. Sandra Love and KimNelson were the big stars for ASU Head Coach Traci McGee. Love had serving streaks in all three games that opened the scoring for the Lady Apps. In the second game, ASU scored ten straight points off Love's serve at the outset before Winthrop even won a sideout. "We're using anew focus onour serves and we already see a big result in our serving percentages," McGee said fol­ lowing the Winthrop thrashing. Meanwhile, Nelson kept up a torrid offensive pace which saw her smash 19 kills in the season-opener against Univer­ sity of North Carolina at Asheville.Nelson went on to earn Most Valuable Player honors for the two-day tournament and both she and McGee attribute atlease part of her early-season success to a new arm swing "We've gone over anew arm swing this year and Kim has caught on a lot quicker than anybody else on the teamand you can see the power of her hits and her hitting percentage is much higher than the major­ ity of everyone else so far," McGee ex­ plained. "I've picked up a new arm swing and it's given me a lot more power and a lot more force," Nelson said. "It's (the new arm swing) helped my percentage out a lot." ASU's sterling Friday night play did not carry over to Saturday, however. The Lady Apps struggled through a two-hour, five-game marathon in the morning with DavidsonCollege before finally winning, and then dropped another five-game match to East Carolina University in the after­ noon session. "I don't think weplayed anywherenear our potential,"McGee said about the two sub-par performances. "We weren'tplay­ ing as a unit. Defensively, we weren't playing as a unit. Defensively, we weren't in good position. The transition from de­ fense to offense also suffered as a result." Holley Shamburger, Rachael Wade,and Love all ended the Davidson match with negative hitting percentages. Nelson fin­ ished witha team-high .239, a far cry from her average of .350. "We still weren't mentally prepared enough to win,"McGee commented. "Half of our team was playing with desire and enthusiasm and the other half was sort of hesitating and watching. That causes people not to communicate properly, and as a result we hadpeople looking at balls drop in for points." ASU did manage to finish with the best record in its pool, however, and advanced to the championship game where it dis­ patched of James Madison 15-7,4-15,159, 14-16, and 15-12. "The group we had out there worked hard on transition," McGee explained. "That had been our biggest weakness all day and we did some work in between matches so that by the time we played James Madison, the weaknesses they had seen all day were no longer weaknesses and I think that was the big difference in the match." Sophomore Deanna Keen led ASU with a .372 hitting percentage in the final, fol­ lowed by Nelson with a .357. The Lady Mountaineers had 14 blocks against the Lady Dukes. Lady runners expect to challenge for SC crown By KELLY ROPER Appalachian Staff Writer The ASU women's cross country team has begun its season in hopes of capturing another Southern Conference champion­ ship. The Lady Apps captured the SC title last year by placing six runners in the top 10 at the conference meet. The Lady Mountaineers hosted a meet against Carson-Newman and UNC-Charlotte at Moses Cone Park last Saturday. (Look for details in Thursday's editionof "The Appalachian.") According to ASU Head Coach John Weaver, seven Lady App runners fin­ ished two-mile time trials in under 12 minutes this year,compared to no one last year. The time trials are the first indicator of the team's success and, so far, Weaver is pleased with the squad. "According to the time trials, we're starting very well," Weaver said. "Using the time trials as a basis, this squad looks to be one of our better set of runners. We look like we'll be good again." The Lady Mountaineershave a balance of youth and experience on the squad this year, with eight returningperformers and eight newcomers on the team. Weaver feels he can build the team with his eight new runners, six of whom are freshmen, while the experienced runners carry the team. Weaver said the top runners on the team are running close together this year, which shouldprove beneficial to the squad. "The closer you get the kids together at the top, the more likely you are to win," Weaver said. weaver expects a tough challenge from the Lady Apps' Southern Conference ri­ vals, particularly from a Furman squad that finished second in the SC Champion­ ships a year ago. "I'm expecting a lot from Furman," Weaver said. "They've got two goodrun­ ners back. They're going to be the team to beat. Marshall will also be strong this year." One factor that should help the Lady Mountaineers this year is a schedule which sees them host two regular season meets plus the SC Championships. ASU trav- eled to every meet last year and Weaver feels the new schedule will benefit the Lady Mountaineers. "There won't be as much traveling, so we won't be as fatigued," Weaver said. "Our runners will be able to sleep in their own beds. That's a little more conducive to running." Senior runner Deanna Davis said the Lady Apps are ready for the season. "A lotof people counted us out last year for this season," Davis said. "But, we're going to prove them wrong." �The Appalachian. Tuesday.

At least five runners on the ASU squad arecapable of finishing in the league's top ten. That, potentially, gives Appalachian by far the strongest team in the SC. The Mountaineers' stiffest competition is expected to come from East Tennessee State. Two other teams that could pose a challenge are Marshall and VMI. One of the reasons for the optimism in the ASU camp is the return of Billy .Pemberton. Pemberton was Appalachian's top runner last season and should hold down the number one seedfor Fereshetian again this year. "We all expect to have a great season this year," Pemberton said. "As a whole, this team has more depth and there seems to be a bigger team effort. The team ex­ pects a good performance from every .member. I really am looking forward to having the team win the (Southern Con­ ference) championship." . Steve Simandle, another returningrun­ ner, noted onebig difference in this year's team. "We don't have as many front run­ ners as we have had before. Being able to close the gap will be a pretty tough chal­ lenge.

Well, it's abit early to tell just yet, but I'dcertainly venture that things aren't far from getting wild. Or at least interesting. I'm not out to romanticize that period of history, but there was one very powerful lesson to be learned: You can fight City Hall/The Pentagon/The Administration and win.

Ever write a representative on any level of government? Most of these people read their mail, or at least hear about it from their staff.It is always interesting to read whatever they send back.

There are plenty of other opportunities to get involved beyond writingletters and signing petitions right here on campus and in the Boonecommunity. Most big changes start on the individual level, and I think that I've gotten at least as much out of helping other people help them­ selves as those I was working with. Sometimes the biggest changes aren't necessarily the ones you read about The really amazing thing that happened here recently was the alternative convocation, largely held in protestof the topic of the regular one. There wasn't a huge number of people there, but it was definitely enough to attract some attention and make people think about what was going onin Broome-Kirk Gym. Somekind of nationalist rally, put on as having something to do with education? Enlightenment and genocide...? The interesting thing about the alternative convocation to me was the number of people there, and that many of them were faculty willing to stand up and make a state­ ment about the emphasis we place on militarism as the only way to be proud of one's country. When I was an undergraduate at UNCC, our peace group could barely get together enough people to have an official university organization.

It was a pretty powerful affair, with people chanting and singing and out in force to take a little more control over their own lives.

That is what involvement is all about We make decisions in our daily lives about what to do and not do in a day's time, but we seem to be less able or willing to confront bigger issues that may or may not come up on a daily basis. Too big, maybe, or we just don't have time. With the way things are starting to go now, we're not going tohave thatluxury much longer. Violence,poverty and illiteracy are on therise, and most of the solutions we are being offered involve large caliber weapons and incarceration. So it shall go until we stop leaving it up to our government to solve problems instead of becoming active ourselves. Klondike manager responds to Williams article To the Editor: I am writing in response to Jim Williams' commentary in the Aug. 29 issue of "The Appalachian." In this issue, an "unnamed" restaurant has been accused of censorship and an "un­ named" power company has been portrayed as tyrannical and unjust. The owner and staff of Klondike Cafe would like to express the reasons for cancel­ ling The Scene and reasons leading up to it. For the last six months we have received phone calls and letters regarding fliers posted in public places such as utility poles and buildings. We were informed that this action is both dangerous and unlawful and we would be fined by the Town of Boone should we continue. The restaurant itself has stopped, but many bands ignore our plea and continue to do this. We've already paid a $50 fine; the next one is $500. No, Mr. Williams, no one has threatened to "cut our juice off' and "leave us in the dark." Enter The Scene. After we asked them not to, they put up dozens of fliers depicting a man and a woman engaging in sexual intercourse. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's X-rated, but it is close, and I wouldn't want my children (if I had them) to see this all over town. The point is, these fliers, X-rated or not, were put up by the band and Klondike Cafe has had to deal with the many upset citizens and the director of New River Light and Power who called me the day of the show. He told me that the fliers should be removed for safety reasons. Igot in touch with Chip (from The Scene) who said they'd pull down the fliers, if they had time. They didn't, and we cancelled them. Sorry guys (The Scene), but there is a difference between being a coward, which you've accused us of being, and being stupid. We've chosen to be neither and attempt to stay in business in a town where not many people have the same tastes you do. As for Mr. Williams and "The Appalachian." I'm surprised you would admittedly print second-hand gossip in your paper and can't give much respect to a columnist who won't even check his sources. Go ahead and call us censors if you want, but I'm sure there's some fancy and degrading name for publishing heresay. Whatever that is, that's what you are. We'd like to thank the many partrons who've stood by us in this matter.

"Chancellor John Thomas made the decision not to increase ASU student fees and subsequently the board of governors then made the decision not to increase student fees," said Dr. Greg Blimling, vice chancellor of student development. While students aren't paying the in­ crease in student activity fees, there was a $114 tuition increase, which was set by the state legislature. However, Blimling said the increase in tuition could have been much worse. "The legislature spoke of raising tu­ ition as much as 40 percent. We became concerned that the rising cost of tuition plus the $170 increase in student fees would result in some students being un­ able to return," Blimling said. Therefore, students attending the uni­ versity this year are paying $6.50 more in tuition and fees than last year. "It's a bargain to come to school here this year. However, it (the $6.50) doesn't cover our increase in costs," Zimmerman said. In the general fee category, university athletics were given a$13 increase, health services a $12 increase and student activi­ ties an additional $23. The other fees that were to be charged would have been used to pay the remain­ ing deficit for bonds or mortgages on campus buildings. However, Zimmerman noted that it is possible that the fees could be reinstated for the 1992 spring semester if the chan­ cellor takes a proposal to the board of governors in December. The student fee increase that was ap­ proved, but which will not be instated, consisted of increases in general fees and fees and charges related to liquidation of indebtedness. The largest increase in this category was $70 to go toward the Plemmons Stu­ dent Union expansion. A $34 increase was for athletic facilities and a $3 increase for a student facility. But despite the system's willingness to keep increases down to a minimum this year, Blimling and Zimmerman agree that next year the proposed increases will have to be approved. Bus service extended "We are taking in less money than we are spending. We've had to take money out of our reserve funds so that we don't decrease student services or student pro­ grams," Blimling said. While Zimmerman said there is speculation about the increases for next year's fees, the administration is already meeting to discuss those proposed in­ creases. A preliminary draft for discussion has proposed an increase of $140, down $30 from the increase approved for 199192. Funding for several of the university's building projects,such as the studentunion expansion, the Student Activities Center and other renovations projects are no longer being collected. fV* ~ ~ ' • % {jijjalCart adds new route and more stops ASU students can use the AppalCart free of charge upon presenting the bus driver with their student identification cards.

The people here were frightened and were afraid to go out," said Barbara Daye, asso­ ciate vice chancellor for student develop­ ment. Daye said the walk will continue each year because of the constant flow of new students coming to the university. "We want to sensitize people to issues like campus safety," Daye said. Last year. Grey's father and another student spoke to the estimated 700 walkers. The marchers also sang a song, "Never Turning Back," which "had a way of bringing the people together," Daye said. This year, no speaker is planned for the walk but marchers will have a chance to sing the lyrics "We're going to keep on walking forward, and we're never turning back." Daye noted that every six minutes a woman is a victim of violence. During last year's walk, a bell tolled every six min­ utes to remind the participants of the con­ tinuing violence. Residence hall space available However, this is not the case for this year. At one point, there were approximately 95 vacancies in on-campus housing, ac­ cording to Residence Life Director Brad Reid. Reid is currently checking into the situ­ ation by calling the students who were originally booked to live in those spaces to determine why those students did not claim their room. "The only thing that I can put my hands on that is different from last year is the economy," Reid said. However, for whatever reason, 65 of those students had paid a deposit of $100 for freshmen and $325 for upperclassmen to reserve a room. Those students failed to notify the of­ fice of residence life and have now lost their deposit, according to Reid. "I don' t know if it was just ignorance of procedure and they didn't know to cancel their room in writing," Reid said. The additional 30 students who va­ cated rooms to bring the total number of vacancies to 95, withdrew from the uni­ versity.

The AppalCart has extended its service and added more stops. ^alk for Awareness planned to aid student education ^ANDA NELSON Editor's note: The following is the first article in a series dealing with the state budget shortfall and its effects on Appala­ chian State University. There was a time when housing in cam­ pus residence halls was hard to find. In fact, in August 1989, 71 students were forced to sleep in residence hall lobbies on cots until housing became available. faer said he We're pleased to see what looks like a record ridership and we will expand our services to meet the demands in the future. students, was the most popular route. The route, which only runsnine months out of the year, had more passengers than any of the other twelve-month routes. The AppalCart has provided public transportation in Boone since 1981. The cost for any of the routes withouta student Blimling said. "We have to negotiate with the legisla­ tors along with all of the other institu­ tions," Blimling said. By AMANDA NELSON Appalachian News Editor t ""unity to use the bus instead of park'"ound town," Turner said. According to Blimling, thestate has not begun any building projects in the last three years. In addition to that, the state has sus­ pended funding promised to the universi­ ties, such as the funding for the Student Activity Center. "We are no longer collecting money for the SAC. We do not want to collect any additional money until the state is willing to match the students' contributions," "This year we want to look beyond personal safety and make people think about the other safety issues such as child abuse," Daye said. Since Grey's murder, the issue of cam­ pus safety became even more of a concern at ASU, Daye said. However, Daye thinks that the campus is safe compared to other schools, point­ ing out the various things that the univer­ sity does to ensure student's safety, from the blue lights located on campus to the Campus Safety Walk. The Campus Safety Walk, sponsored by Student Government Association, consists of various students, SGA mem­ bers, and administrators walking around the campus looking for dark or unsafe areas. Following the Awareness Walk last year, Daye said she saw a young lady jogging alone in downtown Boone at 10 p.m. "I believe that we have a safe campus but there is always a chance that some­ thing can happen. We need to look at the things that we're doing and wonder if we're really reaching the young people who need to be convinced that they are not invincible," Daye said. ASU Director of Security Roy Tugman, also said he has seen a trend toward more students walking alone at night this year as compared to years past. "Ensuring physical security is a mutual effort between the security department and students. Everyone has to take some responsibility for his or her own safety," Tugman said. The security department has been ex­ panding its current services to help pre­ vent situations that threaten student's safely. Blue lights, which are telephones manned by an operator, are located throughout campus at Rankin Science Building, near Wey Hall and the Sta­ dium Parking Lot, Greenwood, Edgewood, South parking lots, Belk/ Smith Wright Hall, Whitener Hall, Sanford Mall, Hoey Hall and State Farm Parking Lot. The system is in the process of being expanded to an additional seven lights located at East Hall, Stansbury Parking Lot, the ASU Field House, the parking area near the Broyhill Inn, Wey parking lot and in the Rivers' street tun­ nels. "The purpose of the blue light system is to give pedestrians a means of instant communication with the security depart­ ment," Tugman said. The lights are equipped with a button which notifies security when activated. The person then has a chance to speak with the operator but if they do not ver­ bally respond, an officer is sent to the location to assist if needed. The expansion of the blue light system occurred due to positive response from students, Tugman said. He added, "If we Sec AWARENESS page 2 To determine the number of students who are given residence hall space, the office of residence life uses figures from previous years to slightly overbook the housing to reflect the number of students who will withdraw from the university. But for some unforeseen reason, those figures did not work in predicting the number of vacanices this year. "Using the last two years as indicators did not work this year.There is something different this year," Reid said. Last year on the first day of class, 99.5 percent of the available dorm space was filled. This year on the first day of class it was down to 98.2 percent. Reid said that if residence life had been able to more accurately predict the actual housing situation this year, "we would have gone deeper into the waiting list and not discouraged as many people as we did." Another difference this year in the num­ ber of vacancies is that there are a greater number of female vacancies than male ones. Last year, there were 22 female and 22 male vacancies. However, this year there are 58 female compared with 20 male. The office of residence life is currently contacting those students to determine the reason for thedisproportionate number of available spaces. �The Appalachian. Thursday.

However, some students and staff at ASU were swept up by the Storm and deposited in different places around the world.

"Mostly sand, more sand and sand." Hendrix is a criminal justice major and a mem­ ber of the 1450th Transportation Company, a Na­ tional Guard unit normally stationed in Ashe County. Hendrix was activated and sent to Saudi Arabia for seven months. The primary mission of the 1450th is to haul fuel for infantry vehicles. "Before the (ground) war, we were attached to the 18th Airborne corps. AfteT the war started, we were supporting the 24th InfantryDivision," said Hendrix. During the war the 1450th kept about five miles behind the advancing 24th Infantry Division. "We were outside the town of Basra, in Iraq, and we saw the bombs and stuff falling on the town. But we didn't receive any direct fire. "It was great serving thecountry. I loved it," said Hendrix. "Our training was excellent, and we were well equipped. We had one of the highest mainte­ nance sections in the country. The morale of the unit was high. The support from the school and letters from friends again." were tremendous. I'd do it When Jeff Brinker was activated he did not go to Saudi Arabia. Brinker is a member of the 1451st Transportation Company. This is the National Guard unit stationed in Boone. The 1451st was activated and spent the war at Ft. Bragg. "We hauled equipment and troops," is how Brinker explained his mission. "I drive a 5-ton cargo truck." Brinker is a senior and was supposed to have graduated last year. "But I don't regret (being called up) one bit," said Brinker. "Everyone in the unit seemed to handle it pretty well. I missed home quite a bit. We had our share of problems, as you can expect; but we pulled together and got the mission done. The support from the school was incredible. I never felt that they had forgotten us, and it was easy to register this fall because Barbara Daye squared us away," said Brinker. Brinker plans to stay in ROTC until the end of school and join the Army as a Second Lieutenant. He is a senior majoring in manufacturing. Ali Davis was activated with the 846th Trans­ portation Company last November. The 846th is an Army reserve unit in Salisbury. Davis is an electronics major. "I should be a sophomore now," said Davis. "The war kept me a few credits short." Before the ground war, Davis was just four miles from the border of Iraq. "We drove big 40-wheeled trucks, called 915's, for the 24th Infantry Division," Davis explained. "We carried food, ammo, fuel, everything. During See SOLDIERS page 6 Outdoor sculpture contest chooses winner By CANDA F. SMITH Appalachian Et Cetera Editor Ten major sculptures were installed on the Ap­ palachian State University campus for the annual Outdoor Sculpture Competition and Exhibition this summer. From Walker Hall to Newland Resi­ dence Hall, various works by 10 selected artists are exhibited. There are maps giving the locations, the artists and the titles of the works available at Catherine J. Smith Gallery in Farthing Auditorium from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. This event has been in progess for five years, gaining more applicants each year. This particular year there were roughly one hundred applicants but only 10 artists were selected. This competition is made possible by an endowment from Mr. and Mrs. Martin Rosen. The Rosens contribute to An Appalachian Summer and other cultural events on campus. The Rosens provide each of the 10 se­ lected sculptors with a $500 honorarium to accom­ pany their works. From the 10 participants, one artist's work receives the Rosen Prize, a cash award of S5,000. This year's winner is Charlie Brouwer from Radford, Va., with the sculpture named "Picnic." His work is located in front of Wey Hall and can be seen clearly from Rivers Street. Brouwer re­ ceived a bachelor of arts degree in English in 1969 from Grand Valley State University. He later re­ ceived his master of arts degree and his master of fine arts degree in sculpture from Western Michi­ gan University in Kalamazoo, Mich. He is pres­ ently an assistant professor of art at Radford Uni­ versity.

She is an award-winning artist and a fresh­ man at ASU. A graduate of Providence Senior High School in Charlotte, Elliott claims to have been interested in art since she can remember. With support from her parents, Elliott participated in high school art classes and has won many independent contests. Elliott comments, "The most influential person in my years of art was my high school art teacher." In high school she won the Congressional Art Competition for a watercolor she produced called "A Woman in a Yellow Dress."She was extremely surprised at winning this prestigious award which entitled her to an expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C. She was congratulated by family, friends and a Charlotte sponsor of the contest, representative Alex McMillan. Her family was very proud and turned the trip into a vacation, visiting the Capitol and other sights in the area. Elliott said, "The National Gallery of Art was most impressive!" ur'n® a financial crisis.

Elliott's work is mostly realistic, so her ideas come mainly from everyday life. She spends about 15 to 20 hours a week working on an. She finds people the most interesting to paint.

"I would also like to visit the Louvre Museum in Paris and the Museum of Modem Art in New York."

This sculpture consists of bumper stickers on old car bumpers (not placed on there for the sculpture). Suhre comments, "The stickers all have very lib­ eral themes, but voice the various concerns of the American people. It also symbolizes her narrative theme that America is the automobile."

From a distance Brouwer's work looks like a peculiar shaped picnic table. Terry Suhre, direc­ tor of the Catherine Smith Gallery in Far­ thing, says, "Brouwer is playing with the literal translation of the perspective of a picnic table. He is taking the obvious and presenting it in a different way." Brouwer does much of his work with wood or piecing objects together."He does quite a bit of his work with ladders explaining in a narrative way about climbing to one's aspirations," explains Suhre.

AppM+chmr, PtxMo by Nkote Quirw For one week in the middle of May, Hughes lectured English language students in Kharkob, a city located in the Ukranian Soviet Socialist Re­ public . While in Kharkob, Dr. Hughes met with the rector (chancellor) of the State University in Kharkob and discussed ideas for a student/facultv exchange program with Appalachian. Hughes took his second trip to the Soviet Union June 27-July 20. He toured with 25 high school students as a part of the People to People Student Exchange Program to the cities of Leningrad. Moscow. Kiev, Poltava, Ivanovo and Kharkob. JGHES EXPERIENCES NEW CULTURE:This summer Dr. Albert Hughes caught a final glimpse While on his second trip, Hughes and his stu­ HI « : nnti • -v C of the previous communist government of » t. . Soviet Union. He experienced Trio social1 and cultural1 the C n.. 1 1 I In i run t-I a A V f\AT i Aticori the Crt/M 1 inrl 1 1 Tl ir1 dents enjoyed Soviet opera and ballet as well as a aspects of the Soviet Union through his personal interactions with universities and families visit to the Young Communist Party. The group hIMHK rrin • iiihitii «~r «in—uniw iiai i also had an opportunity to visit a home to view the typical Soviet lifestyle. The students saw a tworoom apartment and found that many families must share kitchens.When asked how theSoviet lifestyle matched up to that of the United States, Catherine WTieeler, a freshman at ASU who accompanied Dr. Hughes, replied, "The lifestyle was nowhere near what we have in the U.S." During his crips Dr. Hughes discovered simi­ larities and differences among American and Soviet youth. One difference was the Soviet "reluctance to initiate conversation," says Hughes. Although differences exist, "The students dress much like we do. They watch MTV," staled Hughes. While in Kharkob, Wheeler had a chance to learn about the university's curriculum and make some Soviet friends. Wheeler compared the activi­ ties students engage in at ASU with those at the University in Kharkob and concluded, "There isno student life there." "Sometimes the students will go to class six hours at a time. The students study hard." said Wheeler. See PROFESSOR page 6 �The Appalachian. Thurtdax Aupuu IQQI Soldiers Continued from page 5 the ground war we split up. Three other drivers and myself were taking fuel and filters for tanks and stuff. It was so dark we couldn't even see the tanks. It (the war) was going so fast." The war did slow down for Davis one night. "We were on the Euphrates River, less than 200 miles from Baghdad. The 24th Infantry Division was outside the town of Basra. We were driving along when two trucks blew some tires. At first we thought we were being shot at. But when we got out of the vehicles we found Iraqi mines all over the place. Weclimbed back into the trucks and waited until the next morning for the M.P.'s to get us out of there." Davis did not come under direct en­ emy fire. "But when they were blowing up some of the Iraqi bunkers, some of the stuff started falling down all around us," said Davis. "I missed school," said Davis, "but the support we received made me feel like they were right beside me." Mike Wood is another student mem­ ber of the 1451st. He also went to Bragg when activated last November. His mis­ sion, like the rest of the 1451st, was to support the outgoing troops. He was the assistant Non-Commissioned Officer in charge of loading military aircraft bound for the desert. Wood is a special education major at ASU. The deployment has set back his school plans for a year. "I don't know w hat this will do to my student teaching," he said. Wood was enthusiastic about the sup­ port he received from ASU."It was great. Barbara Dave and Teresa Johnson (from financial aid) gave 500 percent! We got T-shirts and newsletters. I don't think you'd get that kind of support from any other school." Travis Morris is currently a criminal justice major at ASU, but last year he was an intelligence analyst with the 2/17th Cavalry, 101st Airborne Division. He was with one of the first units on the ground in Saudi Arabia."At first we were pretty scared; we didn't have a whole lot of equipment with us. And Hussein had a lot of tanks and stuff. But later it was like, let's get this over with. At first we lived in a parking garage, near King Fahd Air­ port. During the day it got over 130 de­ grees inside. There were only two toilets for the entire battalion." Later he moved to within artillery range of Iraq. 'The hardest part was just being there, putting up with the desert.

Morris described an event that hap­ pened to him before the ground war. "We were coming back from a reconnaissance mission in Iraq. The Chinook (helicop­ ter) we were in started banking all over the place. We didn't think anything about it then. Later when we were landing, the crew chief told us to assume crash posi­ tions. When we asked him why,he told us our rear tire had been shot off coming back over the Saudi border." Morris iscurrently an ROTC cadet and will rejoin the Army after finishing his degree at ASU. Morris is a native of Lincoln ton. Saturday, Sept. 14 is Military Appre­ ciation Day. Events during the halftime of the ASU-VM1 football game will be sponsored by the ASU ROTC.

Everyone in the Big City is working hard to make piles of money so they can buy a place in the mountains and get back where we came from. Don't ever let the truth get in the way of a good story." MLLIAM PURCELL ^hian Diversions Editor THE APPALACHIAN The play, based on the mountain tradition of storytelling, traces the lives of five women in Ross' family. "The average life of these mountain stories is five generations, a little more than 100 years," Ross said. "Or as we say in the mountains, from my grandmother's grandmother unto me." "These are the kind of stories that cast their spells upon us, get into our blood and perhaps make us who we are," Ross said. "They mark our minds and spirits for all enduring time." The women portrayed in the show range from Ross' great-great-grandmother bom in 1870 to Clarinda Ross who was bom in 1961. The show is a celebration of Southern heritage and on a more personal level, Ross' expression of appreciation for a close-knit family life. Ross doesn't attempt to turn her ancestors into caricatures of Southern mountain women. Ross doesn't strip them of their faults or whitewash their troubles, either. Ross tells of Fanny Tyler's "culturizing" her ornery, uneducated husband, Hyden Tyler, and of his unwillingness to loan money to a man named Asa Candler for work on a "patent medicine" known today as Coca-Cola. Performing a play about one's family can be a big risk. Ross said, "It isn't easy baring your family history to a crowd of strangers; when you're an actress, you can take a bad review. But when you 're also the playwright and the play is about your family, it's tough." Ross co-authored the play with her mother, Charlotte Ross. Both are familiar with Southern mountain lifestyles and lore. Ross' family contributed to her interest in acting and storytelling. "My parents were always telling stories about their parents and grandparents, about their world, or politics, or the neighbors, or just most anything that happened. I watched them and listened to them. Not only was their material inter­ esting, but their delivery was fascinating, their language colorful, and the truth never seemed to be a determining factor to their tales. Charlotte Ross is a renowned storyteller and professor of history at Appalachian. She has re­ searched folklore in more than 200 counties in the Appalachian Region and has traveled to Ireland, Scotland and Wales to collect stories about her heritage. Clarinda Ross received a bachelor's degree in theatre from Appalachian. She is now a profes­ sional actress, living and working in the Atlanta area. "My parents thought my decision to be an actress was just fine. The only time they ever became upset was when Mother found out I was taking speech lessons to lose my Southern accent," Ross said. Ross has performed with numerous theaters in the Southeast including the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, Houston's Alley Theatre and the Alliance Theatre Company, Ross' film credits include "Blue Sky" starring Jessica Lange and "Made in Heaven" with Kelly McGillis and Timothy Hutton.

Faculty recital honors Mozart's life By WILLIAM PURCELL Appalachian Diversions Editor The ASU School of Music will mark the 200th anniversary of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's death with "An Evening of Mozart,"Tuesday, Sept. 3, in Rosen Concert Hall. "This will be a rousing introduction to the year featuring several show-stopper pieces," said Dr. Arthur Unsworth, dean of the School of Music. "The pieces selected for performance are of a very light and entertaining variety. This will be a gala to celebrate the opening of this year's series." The performance will be the first in this season's Faculty Recital Series. The music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) will be featured through several recitals involving voice, violin, harpsichord and ensemble work. Those performing are Dr. Julia Pedigo, so­ prano; Priscilla Peebles, mezzo-sorprano; Dr. Joseph Amaya, baritone; Nancy SchneelochSimmons, flute; Dr. Douglas Miller, clarinet; Dr. Glenn Muegel, violin; Kenneth Lurie, violon­ cello; Linda Jackson, piano; and Dr. William Gora conducting a faculty wind group in a Mozart ser­ enade. Otherrecitals in the series include "An Evening of Chamber Music," Oct. 1; "An Evening of Cole Porter," Nov. 5; "An Evening with the Electric Trio," Feb. 4; "An Evening of Voice with Friends," Mar. 3; and "An Evening with the Piano Duo," April 7. "This series tends to highlight our very best performers," said Unsworth. "There will be 18 faculty involved." The Faculty Recital Series was established dur­ ing the 1990-1991 academic year to enhance music education and in service to the arts community. "The series has been very successful. That is why we 're continuing it," said faculty member Dr. Jon Beebe."The series grew this year and it should continue to grow in the future." Trios, duets and soloists will present a fastpaced evening of the best known Mozart works. Whether your taste is for winds, strings or vocal­ ists, this performance offers an opportunity to enjoy some of the best faculty performing the best of Mozart. "We hold a combined recital featuring many faculty members each year," said Dr. William Harbinson, music faculty member. "The faculty series is selected by a committee who looks at the number of faculty involved, entertainment quality, the appeal to the general public and length of the performance." There will be six recitals in the series this year. Each recital lasts about 75 minutes, which, accord­ ing to Harbinson, "makes a very enjoyable concert for the public." The performance starts at 8 p.m. in Rosen Con­ cert Hall. Hot bands bring steamy shows to Boone By WILLIAM PURCELL Appalachian Diversions Editor Do you think Eskimo Sunburn is something you get from skiing? Have you looked for the Psycho Acoustics Research and Development class some­ where in Rankin Science Building? Did you hear that the Sex Police is just another name for Resi­ dent Assistants? If you answered yes to any of the above ques­ tions, you definitely need a quick orientation to the Boone band scene. This semester, students will witness an outrageous number of bands playing in the High Country. Sollecito's and Klondike Cafe will be the hot spots for bands off-campus. The Appalachian Popular Programming Society will bring quality bands to the Pub and Legends. Tonight, you can experience funk-punk-psychedelic-disco-death metal, more or less, with Psycho Acoustics Research and Development. The Pub will open its doors at 8:30 p.m. for a sound percus­ sionist Steven Carter describes as, "Black Sabbath running over Janet Jackson in a Custom Van." The band plays all originals with an occasional well received and unique cover of "Whole Lotta Love" or "Fly Like An Eagle."

The Pygmies and Eskimo Sunburn combine for a double shot in the Pub on Sept. 6. The two bands toured this summer for four weeks in Saudi Arabia. Playing six gigs a week, the bands toured various bases including two nights in Kuwait. Drummer for The Pygmies, Jon Leeds, said. "The music went over well. We were impressed with the people who liked our originals." The Pygmies have gone through a few changes over the years but continue to play Boone regu­ larly. Expect a show with a good mix of original and coversof Stevie Ray Vaughn, Rush and Cream. "We've stopped adding covers so we can con­ centrate on original stuff," said Leeds. Eskimo Sunburn promises to be to a welcome addition to the band scene after their formation last semester. The show featuring both bands offers a rare opportunity to see two good bands for one price.

The music of Mozart, Britten and Poulenc will be played on bassoon, oboe and piano. "This is a good concert for those not sure they'll like clas­ sical concerts; the music is easy to listen to," said Beebe. "The oboe and bassoon are rare concert instru­ ments," said Harbinson.The combination promises to be a unique concert. Beebe has been known to be very creative with his performances. "Everyone thinks of a bassoon as a boring instru­ ment; Beebe proves otherwise," said Unsworth. "Susan Brashier is among the finest oboeists I've worked with; she produces beautiful melodies and haunting themes." This recital will also be held in Rosen Concert Hall at 8 p.m. Both recitals are free and open to the public.

The Apps will again face a difficult schedule, with away games at Clemson and Wake Forest, plus the grueling league slate. "We enjoy playing good schools," Moore said. "I don't like the so-called mismatches, where you take a I-AA school up against two or three Divi­ sion I schools that have 95 scholarships and you have 70.1 don't mind playing one or two—I think we can play just about anybody." Moore said that aside from senior leadership, the strength of the team appears to lie on defense, which ranked second in the league a year ago. "Our defense is proven and I think we've got better speed than we had on our entire defense last year." The Mountaineers return five defensive starters from last season, including outside linebacker Rico Mack, a third-team Associated Press AllAmerican selection. Mack,who led the Apps with 94 tackles a year ago, was chosen preseason SC defensiveplayerofthe year by the league's coaches. ASU will have an inexperienced corps of line­ backers, as starters Dwayne Pelham, Johnny Jennings and Donnie Durham have all graduated. "We lost those three linebackers, but I tell you, we've got some good young linebackers," Moore said. "Chris Holloway, Ben Pardue, Brent David and Tony Davis are doing a good job for us." Junior tackle Avery Hall anchors the defensive line for the Mountaineers. Hall has received allconference honors in his first two seasons at Appalachian. Also returning to the front line are ends W.C. Murphy and Sean Swoope and tackle Pat Moore. Senior free safety Gary Dandridge returns to a Mountaineer secondary that ranked second in the SC and 11th in the nation in pass defense last year. "We want to win the Southern Conference and be in the (I-AA) playoffs. I think we have the capabilities to do that." Dandndge, a preseason All- American pick in 1990, sat out last season under team suspension. Steve Wilks and Mark Mayo return at left and right cornerback. Also back are Kenny Bright, Will Robinson and Walter Goodwyn. Junior quarterback D.J. Campbell, who has started all 23 games of his collegiate career, returns to guide a Mountaineer offense that ranked last in the league last season. Campbell threw for 1,145 yards, two touchdowns and tossed 12 interceptions a year ago. N "I think he had a fine fall camp," Moore said. "I'm not trying to make excuses for D. J., but as a freshman he was surrounded by a bunch of good players and had a good running back in Ritchie Melchor. Last year, he had an inexperi­ enced offensive line and two running backs (J.K. Reaves and A1 Ellis1 who played only sparingly as freshmen. "This year, he's got a line that's a little more seasoned and J.K. and A1 have played a year now. I think those things are going to take pressure off D.J." John Colbert and Kitt Hill will again start at guard for the Apps, with Wesley Charles and Eric Roberts manning the tackle slots. Wayne Brown, Derek Fewell and Dustin Reeves shift from the defensive line to the offensive line . The Mountaineers return eight letterman in the receiving corps, including Kemal Atkins, who un­ derwent knee surgery in the off-season. Anthony Smith and Craig Styron, who shared time at flanker last year, both return.Three lettermen, Will Barber, Loren Price and Kevin Morris are back at tight end. The ASU kicking game returns intact, with Jay Millson doing the placekicking and Harold Alexander handling the punting chores. this year. If my goals went down but my assists went up, I would be happy. "But the main thing I want to do this year is win. We've got a smaller roster this year and everyone here will get a chance to play. Everyoneon the team wants to play and wants to be as good a team as possible." Also back is junior Scott Griffith, who was allconference as a freshman and started 10 games while seeing action in all but one game last season. "In the past we relied heavily on Andy and Carlos," Rex said. "This season we will have a lot of new players, but we've also got some quality returners. We will be a different team this year; we'll have to play more of a team game and play as a unit." Also back and expected to make big contribu­ tions are goalies Ashley Good and Earl Morgan, an all-conference selection in 1989. Three newcom­ i .1 ... ... ers and three veterans are expected to be the other mainstays on defense this year. Alex Herring, Keith Ellis and Mall Ruble are the top defensive returners. They combined to start 26 games last year and give Rex proven performers in the backfield. Almost as encouraging as those three are newcomers Joel Nesbit, Paul Stahlschmidt and John Cox who have all played well during pre­ season drills. Rex pointed to the play of freshman Jyri Lindberg as especially impressive. Lindberg, a 20-year-old from Finland, will give immediate help in the midfield. "The hardest thing is going to be the schedule and replacing the experience," Rex explained. "You can replace the talent and the heart, but the only thing you can't replace is the experience." Because of that lack of experience, it may take a while for ASU to jell and put everything together, especially with a murderous early season schedule J .... that has nine of Appalachian's first 11 games on the road. ASU will face Wake Forest, South Carolina and North Carolina during the first three weeks of the season. Despite struggling through most of last season, the Mountaineers were able to win the conference tournament at the end of the year, and that has given them impetus to enter this season looking to repeat. "Winning the conference is our main goal," Rex said. "Last year the guys knew they would get another chance in the tournament and they played great there and won it. The year before, we won the regular season, so this year we want to win both." "I think ending on a good note last year will really help us," Terry said. "The players who are back from last year are still fired up over winning the tournament.

August 29. 1991 LfiUDCRDfiLE ftiD Emm vonofl CRUST Furman, Marshall picked to win league By SHEA GRIFFIN Appalachian Sports Editor Defending Southern Conference cham­ pion Furman and Marshall appear to be the teams to beat in the conference this year, according to preseason polls. Furman was selected as the early favor­ ite to win the league in balloting by the conference media, followed by the Thun­ dering Herd and the University of Ten­ nessee at Chattanooga. ASU tied for fourth with The Citadel, while Western Caro­ lina, VMI and East Tennessee State rounded out the pack. Marshall got a slight nod over Furman ip the SC coaches poll. The league's head men picked ASU to finish third, followed by UTC,The Citadel, VMI, Western Caro­ lina and ETSU. ASU Head Coach Jerry Moore and Furman*s Jimmy Satterfield agree that the league is balanced from top to bottom. "I think everybody predicts five teams that could win it,"Moore said."I think all the schools are good." "There is more stability in the confer­ ence this year than any year I've been here," Satterfield said. Furman (9-4 overall, 6-2 in the SC) figures to be a solid choice to win its fourth consecutive league title. The Pala­ dins return 14 starters from last year's squad, including Carl Tremble, whom the league coaches pegged as preseason of­ fensive player of the year. Tremble rushed for 1,277 yards and scored 17 touchdowns last season. The Paladins are without graduated quarterback Frankie Debusk, last year's Southern Conference offensive player of the year. Hugh Swilling will replace Debusk at the Paladin helm. Marshall (6-5, 4-3) returns 10 starters from a defensive unit that led the confer­ ence in total defense (260 yards per game) and scoring defense (14.7 points a con­ test). Thundering Herd Head Coach Jim Donnan said his team's defense is even better this year. "We're a lotstronger this year," Donnan said. "Our secondary is better because we Carpool have some speed. Hopefully, we can put some pressure on other teams." Tennessee-Chattanooga will have to count on some new faces in order to be successful this season. The Moccasins (65, 4-2) lost 13 starters, including eight defensive first-teamers. Heading up the list of returnees for the Mocs is senior punter Pumpy Tudors. Tudors, a two-time Ail-American selec­ tion. has a career average of 44 yards pier punt, on line to break the conference record. Experience has Head Coach Charlie Taaffe of The Citadel (7-5, 4-3) excited about his team's season. 17 starters are back for the Bulldogs, who advanced to the I-AA playoffs a year ago. "This is the most experienced team I've had at The Citadel," Taaffe said. "Overall, we've got most of our players back. There's pretty good balance on our team." Second year Head Coach Steve Hodgin of Western Carolina (3-8,2-5) appears to have the Catamounts headed in the right direction. The Catamounts are a young team and will start only five seniors, in­ cluding just one on defense. Virginia Military and ETSU figure to fight to stay out of the league s basement.

It is most often the band that cancels, for various reasons ranging from transportation problems and faulty equip­ ment to injured/ill/crazy band members and conflicting karmas. If the management cancels, it is almost univer­ sally a question of greed and/or cash flow. Recently I heard about a very different cancellation. It forced me to admit that alarming events do happen. A certain band booked at a certain club for a certain night began circulating publicity flyers and gig announce­ ments a little more than a week ago. The gig was to have been this past Thursday. The flyers the band produced were, admittedly, a bit...strong. Some heads were turned. On the night of the gig it was discovered just what heads had been turned, and how many. The club which had booked the band received dozens of phone calls from irate citizens whose more tender sensibilities had been bruised by the nature of the band's publicity. The man­ agement began to think they might have to cancel. A little later the management called the band back with more definite news: thegig had been cancelled for good and all. The power company had called the club threatening to turn off the juice if the band played. Now, I could be wrong, but I don't think you need to be a member of the ACLU to think something is very wrong with this picture. The production and distribution of the band's publicity was a very much grass-roots kind of operation. Band members and friends were responsible for distributing the flyers. Although the club's management was not responsible for the publicity, they were certainly awareof it—and if they weren't, well, that's just plain short­ sighted dumbness on their part. The question of whether or not the band ought to be penalized for the nature of the publicity they put out is a difficult one toevaluate; many will say yes, as many will say no. The question of whether the club ought to be penalized for the publicity is equally difficult, though I feel it would lean a bit more toward the no-side. As to the method of punishment, it seems pretty clear to me this action was unfair, prejudicial, and downright, mad-dog, two-faced mean. This, of course, is a rather blatant assessment. More puzzling complexities should be con­ sidered. For instance: how many of the people who called the club to protest would have actually gone to the club, let alone gone to see this particular band at this particular club? The conventional wisdom suggests this protest represents a kind of active community interest, an asset to be prized in a democratic society. It also represents a profound lack of communication between the college community and the citizenry of Boone. What do we do when our utilities turn again us? Will we be forced to sit in the darkness or light candles if we wish to curse? Most of us take the electricity we consume for granted until the bill comes. Can you imagine living without electricity? Worse yet, can you imagine a world where your access to energy could be eliminated on the basis of morality? I probably sound like I'm ranting, and I probably am. The exaggeration is both intentional and purposeful. Power companies and phone companies hold an incred­ ible dominion over our lives. In the society welive in, we cannot live without electricity; a power company could literally bring the society to a screeching halt by flipping a few switches and just saying no to service. No police force of any size, kind or description could render so complete a disruption so immediately. I do not know any of the band members. I got this story second hand by a friend of the band just six hours ago at the time of this writing. I carmot say for sure whether the story is true, and I have purposely avoided naming the club, the band and the power company because of this. But even the possibility of the event described actually occurring merits consideration. The possibility of this kind of petty-bourgeoise vigilantism occurring on this kind of level should scare us. More than that, if this is an indication of direction, we must ask ourselves what will come next. The discussion of censorship for the last 200 years has centered around the question of governmental control; the citizenry has been discussed most often in terms of activism and protest. Actions such as book-burning or outright violent silencings are rare and thus rarely discussed. If the time has come to discuss the possibility of widespread, large-scale corporate silencings, I have a feeling we'd better talk fast. A few thoughts given to freshmen By JOEL REID Appalachian Staff Writer "Nothing happened that night; we all went to sleep. Everything happened the next day (Kerouac, Jack. "On the Road")." Aug. 17, 1991.1 had been waiting all summer for that day to arrive; but when it finally did. I felt both naked and afraid. My name is Joel, and I am a residence assistant in East Hall. As an RA, I had to come into Boone early in order to attend the week of staff training. When I first drove into town on Satur­ day, something inside of me felt like I belonged. I knew this was the place for me. But, at the same time, I was sure I was in for a whole new ball of wax. First, I wanted to know what everyone else had been doing over the summer. Second, I had to move all of my stuff into a new room and try to make it feel like home, whatever that is. Next, in a few days I would be the direct supervisor of a group of first-year students. Although I had just spent the summer as a camp counselor, I would definitely be spending a majority of my time winging it. I guess the first thing I would like to say is that as areturning student, it is definitely a good thing to know a lot of people. I mean as I have been watching the students on my hall try to break into the college scene as best they can,1know1hav e a base of personal acquaintances I can fall back on and hang out with. I know everyone has to go through the same freshman ori­ entation, but college is certainly about more than joining that club or being in this class on time. I don't intend to rattle on about higher education; all I'd like to say isthatitmakesme feel more com­ fortable when I see a familiar face in my sociology class atnine in the morning. Another thing that has puzzled me about the in­ coming first-year students may seem to be trivial or silly. But I feel that I cannot avoid it. Why is it that the people with the biggest speakers play the worst music? That' s not the only thing; they insist on playing their music at the most ungodly of hours. Just this morning at 8:30, sombody decided to serendade me with the melodic chords of Motley Crue. It's not thatI don't like their music;it's the fact that I could not hear my own stereo over theirs. I know, as an RA, I have the authority to have them turn it down, but I felt they had the right to their freedom of expression. That right, in my eyes, is far more important than flexing my authoritative muscles. I guess as long as I am talking about freedom of expression, I would like to bring up a topic that very few people on campus know of; open mike night. As I statedbefore.Iam a resident of East Hall, and as such am aware of the reputation that is attached. How­ ever, just a few weeks before summer started, the powers that be tried to squelch this channel of free expression here on campus. I won't go into any of the gruesome details so that those who deserve anonym­ 44 It is like most of the firstyear students are trying to break away from the whole Mommy I Daddy scene. ity will receive it. However, 1 am aware that there are those who fee\ that since they have the power invested in them they also have the ability to enforce the rules to suit their own personal tastes. I think we all have run across a few people like this. I guess that best example of this is Eddie Haskell on the television show "Leave It To Beaver." He is the brown-nose type, teachers' pet, the know-it-all.They all rub me the wrong way. If you can't be who you are all of the time, then what's the point of ever attempting to pull off the stunt in the first place? I cannot help but laugh when I walk across campus on the way to wherever it is that I am trying to go. It is like most of the first-year students are trying to break away from the whole Mommy/ Daddy scene. I know everyone has to go through it, but I sure hope that I did not look that awkward when my turn came around. In retrospect, I guess what I was trying to say is something I heard from a very wise man by the name of Dr. Timothy Leary. If you don't know who he is, then I seriously recommend that you go to the library and expand your brain as soon as possible. Anyway,I feel these three words have the power to change people, policy, or anything else that needs changing. "Think for yourself." Support appreciated ASU students mourned Dear ASU students, faculty and staff: During one's days on this earth, the loss of someone special is likely to occur. Although no one is ever fully prepared for death, one does expect his parents and grandparents to precede him. And while those losses are great, the loss of a child leaves a void that words can't describe. On July 28, 1991, that void entered our lives, when our daughter, Misti Dawn Triplet, was killed in an automobile accident. Since her passing we have received an outpouring of love and support from family, friends and the Appalachian State University community. We would like to thank you all so much for the many things you have done to help us during this time. The flowers, cards, phone calls and prayers were all greatly appreciated. We would especially like to thank Phi Beta Lambda, Student Government Associa­ tion, Barbara Daye in student affairs. Cheryl Chestnut and the many of you who came down for the funeral. You were all very special to Misti and you have reached out to us and let us know that she was special to you too. Please keep us in your prayers as we continue to deal with this loss. Sincerely, Arnold and Wilma Triplet Is topic appropriate? To the Editor: This letter is in regard to the convocation to be held on Sept. 5. I was appalled when I learned of the announced topic. I cannot think of a subject which would be less appropriate for an academic gathering. The celebration of militarism and the deaths of thousands of people has no place on our, nor any other, campus. I shall not attend and I shall urge my students not to attend. Polly Tmavsky Associate Professor, Psychology �The Appalachian. Thursday.

Davis was a distinguished professor of business administration and holder of the Oren Harris chair of trans­ portation at the University of Arkansas, where he was also director of the university's Center of Transportation Re­ search.

"Accredited colleges of business are an exception, not the norm," Davis said. Upton becoming dean, Davis had a cer­ tain number of goals he wished to accom­ plish.

Beach said this will let the person at the compwter know to inform the student that there is already a waiting list for thatclass. However, the waiting list for the spring semester is purged before schedule ad­ justment. This means thecomputer would not show any message on the screen. Since there is no waiting list, then a fresh­ man who is changing his or her schedule at the right time, would be able to be enrolled into a class before a senior who was on the waiting list. The waiting lists are sent to the chair­ person in each department. This gives professors the opportunity to add seats to their classes. Also, professors occasion­ ally give students permission slips to add the class, if necessary. Beach said,"We send them (the chairs) a list and a specified time to add students, and after that time, the waiting list is done away with." Even though the waiting list is purged on the computer, the chairs still have a copy in case of further adjustment, ac­ cording to Beach. Dr. Charles E. Porterfield, professor of communication arts, said, "The depart­ ments and all faculty are extremely concerned about getting students a sched­ ule." The professors are willing to give, but the students have to give, too. Accord­ ing to Porterfield, students must realize that getting every class they want, when they want it, is just not always paossible. Huntley said, "Students ought to be encouraged not to be on the waiting list if they are under several people." Students need toreceive a full schedule because the possibility for them not to receive the class is too great, according to Huntley. David Lanier, university registrar at UNC-Chap>el Hill, said UNC's students register by telephone. He said the wailing list is automatically rolled by the computer, and it is a first come, first serve basis. Professors can go to the secretary of each department and see the waiting list on the computer screen if they wished. Lanier said, "Professors do have the ability to bypass the waiting list, but rarely do." The waiting list is purged just before Christmas for the spring semester, and is purged in mid-July for fall, according to Lanier. Kathi Baucom, interim university registrar at UNC-Charlotte, said the university is bidding for telephone registration at the current time. UNCC holds registration similar to that of ASU. Baucom said very few depart­ ments use a waiting list at this point. The chemistry department is one of the few departments that have a waiting list. Baucom said, "The departments con­ tact the students according to their list, and absolve it their own way." ASU STUDENTS LINEUP FOR REGISTRATION: Ben Clifton, Jarrett Franklinand Scott Seymour haven't quite gotten their schedules ready for next year. They lined up in I.G. Greer trying to get into classes. While some students did receive their first choices, others remain on the wait lists. According to David Huntley, (general college academic advisor, students have a better "hance of getting into closed sections by spreaking with the professor instead of relying on wait lists. dents and faculty predict the university's future for 1991-92 can also see the men's varsity basketball team winning the Southern Conference Championship. "I've got a feeling thatnextyear's win­ ter will be a lot worse than the last couple of years," Thompson also predicted. Dr. Terry Cole, chai person of the com­ munications departnpent, forsees a finan­ cial situation that we will all have to deal with together. The university may need to tighten its belt, which will require a lot of Locklear commented. John Thompson, Jr., a junior, predicts patience form the st.idents and faculty, the new food facility will be finished. He Cole said. Heptointed out that quality will not give up as fare as the institution is concerned. He said ASU will remain a highly demanded school. Dr. Bonnie Gordon, professor of biol­ ogy, is looking forward to an economic improvement. She believes there will be a decrease in materialism because it is less socially rewarding. Gordon also sees an increase in student activism which she feels is good. "I hop>e to see more student involve­ ment in the community and a greater in­ terest in cultural diversity," Gordon said. duation activities planned for '91 grads According to Chancellor John Thomas, next year's financial situation will depjend on the availability of funds from the state legislature. Unfortunately there is no crys­ tal ball to for tell the future. However, Thomas said history has a way of going through cycles.

She also plans to be more involved in on-campus activities as well as enjoying the outdoors. "I see it as being a really fun year," Under Christensen, PBS established a national board ofeducators who help prublic television shap>e its services to schools. More than 29 million students have ac­ cess to those services. He also changed the way pwblic television programs are selected and funded.

"I can predict that much of my time and energy next year will be sp>cnt seeking adequate funding from public as well as private sectors," Thomas said. Dr. Ward Zimmerman, vice-chancel­ lor for business affairs, is also very aware of the financial problems in store for staterun universities. He feels North Carolina gets the best returns on its investments, epecially ASU. "Wecancome through these hard times better and stronger," said Zimmerman. Ron Dubberly, director of food ser­ vices, foresees massive changes next year. The new food facility, located in the stadium heights area, will be opren in the fall. The facility, named Trivettc Hall, will house three new operations: Park Place Cafe, The Pizzaria and The Market. Dubberly said that mainly Italian food, ranging from spaghetti to manicotti, will be served at the Park Place Cafe. Due to this new facility, the scheduling of employees and the hours the other food facilities are open will have to be altered. On the athletic side, Jerry Moore, head football coach, predicts a better football team for next year. As Appala­ chian improves, he also expxxts other collegiate teams to improve. Two ACC games are planned for next year. Moore exprects Clemson to be a competitive team as usual but he is hopeful for ASU due to an exceptional spring practice by the team. Art Rex, soccer coach, sees a very young teamnextyear as aresultof the graduation of 11 seniors on this year's team. A main goal of the team is to be a contender for the Southern Conference. As the saying goes, "The show must go on," and according to Jean Roberts, assistant director of student programs, a lot will be going on. One event that will begin next fall is the ALL A.P.P.S.

Peer career announcesopenings for Peer Counselors for fall semester: The Peer Career Center is currently accepting applications for peer counselors for fall semester 1991. Peer Career is a free drop in service to the ASU community which offers career counseling and information. The Center's paraprofessional staff receives intensive training and experience in counseling fellow students with career concerns. Applications are available at the Peer Career Center located on the second floor ot Plemmons Student Union and at the counseling & Psychological Services Center For further SGA and WASU sponsored a candle­ light vigil on Jan. 24 with several speakers calling forcontinued support of the troops. "The troops are united and strong for us, we need to be united and strong for them," said ASU junior Scott Buettner, whose father was stationed in Saudi Arabia. The Allied invasionof Kuwaitoccurred in February with some military personnel predicting that the war would be over in two weeks. These predictions proved to be accurate and a decisive victory soon followed with service men and women arriving home to a flurry of support. In the course of the 1990-91 school year articles concerning the construction of the Student Activities Center, the ef­ fects of the economic recession, the Sen­ ate election between Jesse Helms and Harvey Gantt, as well as many other is­ sues headlined at ASU. Many of these events and decisions shaped the course of our year and will continue to guide the university throughout the coming years while other actions had more indirect ef­ fects. While issues such as increased stu­ dent fees and the construction of the SAC stirred controversy, other actions such as the troop support rallies and ASU's na­ tional ranking as a top tenregional univer­ sity caused us to stop and realize what a special placeeach ASU student is a part of and the progress that can be made through each individual's contributions.

"We are here to support the men and women in the armed services," Shelton said. "I don't see money going into the bud­ get for this facility or any other facility in the state university system," said Rep. Dave Diamont, D-Surty. However, ASU vice chancellor of business affairs, Dr. Ward Zimmerman, remained optimistic stating, "They (the legislature) didn't use the word cut, they used the word 'delay.'" Appalachtaii hosting Mayfest craft and art Festival May 4-5: Persian Gulf War Concerns over Iraq's invasion of Ku­ wait in August had several people worried about increased fuel costs and U.S. troops being stationed in Saudi Arabia. Several hundred hostages, including Americans, were taken by Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. ASUprofessors Dr. David White and Dr. Jawad Bargothi made predictions before the U.S. invasion that military ac­ tion would be taken against Iraq. "I think we will attack Iraq and take (Hussein's) military industrial complex, the chemical weapons, everything," Bargothi stated. U.S. bombers began their air raid on Jan. 16, and the American public contin­ ued their support of the troops. A "News­ week" magazine poll taken after the first wave of attacks showed a nearly 5-to-l margin of support for the military action. When 32 ASU students were called to serve in the Persian Gulf, the campus responded with troop support marches and candlelight vigils. Also, the United States was dotted with yellow ribbons appearing on everything from cars to trees. In Boone an estimated 600 people at­ tended a march orgazined by Melanie ever, ASU was not the only school af­ fected by the budget problems.

Students volunteer for garden work: ASU students are volunteering to help lowincome families plant gardens this spring. The university-sponsored Appalachian and the Community Together (ACT) group began the garden co-op when it wanted to start a low-cost project. The budget situation continued to worsen and continuing controversy of the $24 million dollar facility left some stu­ dents and faculty protesting. On Oct. 28, an estimated 200 people gathered at Duck Pond Field to protest the construction of the SAC. The financing of this overpriced white elephant is going to be borne by two main sources who can least afford to pay our bankrupt state budget and our students and theirparents who already have a heavy burden with the existing costs of college," said Dr. Harvard Ayers, ASU professorof anthropology and chairperson of the ASU Environmental Committee who attended the rally. Others contended that building the fa­ cility in light of the present economic situation was impractical and the money should be used to furthereducationalprograms at ASU. "We (the university) are willing to buy a basketball arena, but we may have to wait forever for someone to give us the resources we need to teach our students," said Dr. Matthew P. Rowe, ASU associate professor of biology. Students were given a chance in April to vote if they supported building the SAC; a majority voted against the con­ struction. According to Dary1 Ghent, SGA president-elect, the vote forced SGA to change its position on the SAC. "Our position has to be against the SAC because of the clear majority of the stu­ dents who are against the center," Ghent said. However, before the vote, administra­ tors made it clear that the building would be constructed. "The institution is very interested in what students have to say," said Dr. Greg Blimling, ASU vice chan­ cellor of student development. However, Student fees increased SGA voted 36 to 24 on Dec. 4 in favor of raising student fees $170 for off-cam­ pus full-time students and $270 for stu­ dents living on campus, effective fall of 1991 on Dec. 4. i 1 .

The race, which was hotly contested and called too close tocall by both parties, had Helms receiving approximately 54 percent of the vote. According to unofficial voter returns, Gantt won in Watauga County by a mar­ gin of 792-votes. Randy Hill, then SGA state affairs chairperson, said, "I think ASU students were a definite factor in Gantt carrying this county." Both candidates made visits to Boone while campaigning with Gantt speaking at Hardin Park Elementary School and Helms organizing a rally at Shadrack's. Students arrested for bomb threats In Wey Hall ASU campus security arrested two ASU students on Nov. 11 for making a bomb threattoWeyHall.Thetwostudents were charged with making a false report of a destructive device under N.C. general statutes and were released on $500 bond. "We consider this a very serious of­ fense. University policy states that any­ one charged with making threatening calls may besuspended immediately,"said Roy Tugman, ASU director of public safety and security. Leash law amended On Jan. 29, SGA passed, arguably, its most controversial piece of legislation: Senate bill 024-003. The amendment states: "No animals are permitted on the ASU campus without being on a leash in which the owner has physical control of the leash. No animals shall be tied and abandoned on the ASU campus." Student outcry followed the bill's pas­ sage with many dog owners protesting the Senate's decision. However, SGA coun­ tered stating that they were only trying to enforce a university law that was not be­ ing enforced. Zimmerman, vice chancellor of business affairs, said ASU has not felt the same "This (the leash law) is not being en­ forced, Senator Shelby Johnson said, The increase would support the cost of the SAC, rising health care costs, text­ book rental fees, and athletic fees, as well as other things, Zimmerman said. ASU recognized as a nationally ranked university "U.S. News and World Report" re­ leased its list of "America's Best Col­ leges. ASU was ranked 10th for regional colleges and universities in the South. This ranking is a credit to our out­ standing faculty, students, and staff. We have known for some time that we have an outstanding university, but it is especially gratifying to have that confirmed by a national publication," said Dr. Clinton Parker, associate vice chancellor for aca­ demic affairs. The ranking in the top 10 has occurred four times since 1985, according to News Bureau Director Speed Hallman. The rankings are based upon the selectivity of explaining SGA's decision to pass the bill. Randy Yelton, head of student affairs, said, 'This is basically trying to get dog owners to take responsibility for their animals. It is also to prevent people from being attacked by dogs." Frank Hall Representative Matt Wilfiford argued that the presence of dogs on campus adds to the atmosphere. "We need to get rid of the problems with at­ tacks, but keep the atmosphere that the dogs add," Williford said. The dog control policy will cause unat­ tended dogs being taken to the animal shelter, Yelton said.

However, this figure is predicted to nse, according to assistant directorofsummer school Gail Hauser. With schedule adjustments beginning May 1-3, Hauser said that she expects the number to in­ crease. Not all students who will attend sum­ mer school here are ASU students Fig­ ures show that 92-94 percent are continu­ ing ASU students but there is a very small percentage of students from other institu­ tions. Juniors lead the enrollment count for summer school, followed by seniors, ac­ cording to Hauser. She said that almost half of the academic student body attend summer school. Summer school was established soon after Appalachian was founded. Since then Hauser said the popularity has increased. Hauser said there seems to be a trend toward summer school. Based on feedback from surveys com­ pleted by students who have attended summer school, it is a good experience. Hauser said this positive response is based on the relaxed atmosphere students find in the classes, and the smaller number of students per class. Although you're meeting every day, the material stays fresh in your mind," Hauser said. "Summer school is an excel­ lent way to get ahead or catch up on degree requirements at a reasonable tu­ ition rate." > Students are able to complete six se­ mester hours in a five-week session. Hauser noted another advantage of at­ tending summer sessions is that students are able to avoid a heavy course workload in the fall. Most of the classes offered during summer school are standard. However, Hauser said there are some variations. Chairpersons and deans of the various colleges decide upon which classes from their department will be offered. These choices are based on student needs. The Registrar's Office oversees the transferring of credits from other colleges. If you are planning to transfer credits, Hauser advises that you contact the Registrar's Office ahead of time. "There are advantages to attending summer school at your own university," Hauser said. She noted students are al­ ready familiar with the type of professors and the way the classes are taught, as compared to an unfamiliar environment and faculty. "Professors enjoy teaching during the summer," Hauser added. The fact that classes are guaranteed means that em­ ployment for professors will also beguar­ anteed. However, like some students, there are professors whochoose not to teach during the summer.They involve themselves with research or other activities.

Elvey was bom on October 22, 1914. She attended college at Florida State Uni­ versity and participated in the Phi Mu chapter there. Elvey has been a part of the organization for 57 years. Beginning in 1983 when the sorority came onto campus, Elvey became the advisor. Since then she has been named outstanding sorority advisor every year at ASU as well as at the Phi Mu National Convention. She was also the 1986 recepient of the Outstanding Alumna award at the Phi Mu national convention. Services for Elvey which were con­ ducted by Rev.

When funding for the festival dried up in 1990, Walker College of Business stepped in and di­ rected over 600 student hours of research into the festival industry, identifying and defining suc­ cessful festivals and how they were organized. Research showed that for a festival to be a success, many things need to occur within the town at the same time.

Eskimo heats R.B.'s Evans comes from a family of musicians, and it was just accepted that he would play an instrument. He took up the drums and developed a love for them. Eskimo Sunburn played last Friday at R.B.'s Sports Grill. What can I say? Those of you who did not go see this event are unfortunate because you missed an awesome concert. I have nothing but praise for the band. As far as I am concerned, they are one of the best bands I have seen in Boone. How does one describe a band like Eskimo Sunburn? The way I pictured them was as the Harlem Globetrotters of rock 'n' roll. The band consists of Ben Wakeman on rhythm and lead guitar and lead vocals, Dan Hurley on rhythm and lead guitar, Jim Stephens on bass and back-up vocals and Evans Nicholson on drums and back­ up vocals. r *rfc» sl history of how he went from £*. s- mall Southern town to writing :fo» "The Washington Post." — *he opportunity to have even though I really did not ter with him.

THURSDAY. May 2,1991 Music, crafts and food found at Mayfest Special to the Appalachian -versions Editor THE APPALACHIAN According to Ben, who came up with the name, they wanted to be a band different from others. They tried to find a name using completely oppo­ site concepts. Although not liked at first, the band eventually kept the name. To me, it fits. I under­ stood this after seeing them play.Theirperformance was hot with high energy while their actions were cool under pressure, laid-back and high-spirited. The band began with Dan and Ben playing together in high school. Then Evans, who had been playing with Jim, came along. The love of music took over from there. With influences like Living Color, The Police, The Extreme and Parliament, they developed their musical sound. Jim liked heavy metal and wanted to be a part of it. He said his coordination was lousy on thedrums, and he could never get his fingers to move properly on a guitar, so bass seemed a better choice. He now wants to play professionally. Dan said he just likes music. He feels it is a great form of expression. Bensaid he mainly began play ing for the ego. He had been playing the violin, and the guitar seemed cool. After playing for awhile, though, he said he realized he actually loved it. Bennow plays mostly for himself, and said he would not care if he ever played another solo again. With all this in mind, I figured there had to be something behind the band that gives them that extra special touch. I discovered it is that they try to combine two very difficult concepts: lyrics integ­ rity and not preaching issues. Both Dan s and Ben's solos were smooth and soulful, especially apparent in the songs "Dark­ ness and October Sky." Evan's off-time drums added a different touch, still following the tempo and never missing a beat. His playing matches the style of the drummer for Living Color. Jim's bass riffs were funky and jazzy. His solos were inven­ tive, utilizing a variety of techniques. One did not need to be a major in music to see that this band knew what they were doing. A senior reminisces about life at Appalachian By TONY PETERS Appalachian Staff Writer For those of you seniors lucky enough to gradu­ ate in a few weeks, including myself, it has been a fun four years full of changes. Remember four years ago when we paid $25 for parking, and as freshmen we could park in JJ Lot, within walking distance. Concerts that year included Jimmy Buffett, Ja­ son and the Scorchers, Fetchin' Bones and the Smithereens, along with comedian Rich Hall. The Outer Limits was the hottest local band in Boone, and Yofest, which included MarshallTucker Band. Sidewinder and the Elements, was partially rained out. Does anybody remember the Outfield, who were supposed to play at Homecoming but can­ celled at the last minute due to a supposed injury to the guitarist? Back then, when we still had all of Duck Pond Field, Newland Residence Hall put on "Spring Fling," an all-day concert which featured the Alli­ gators, Fear and Loathing and Ranger Rick and the Lost Guides. Whether you admi t it or not, back then the piace to eat on campus was the Bavarian Inn or B.I., which also stood for Bad Idea and Bloated Intes­ tine. This was a place where you could get a quick (yes, quick) sandwich between classes, or go hide from the world in the dimly lit dining area. You could choose from the infamous"Wheel of Death." Many sandwiches never resurfaced with the Food Court, like meatball subs, grilled cheese and fish sandwiches. The controversy oncampus then was the moving of the Dougherty House, where the founder of this university used to live. The house used to be located between Justice Hall and the parking lot to Kerr Scott Hall. Despite some student and commu­ nity efforts the house was moved, and a small parking lot put in its place. That year, we actually had SNOW. Two heavy ones stick out in my mind, one on Valentine's Day and one, yes, in May, when everyone was moving out of the dorms. Then things began to move much faster. Our sophomore year saw the closing of the B.1. and the opening of the slick Food Court in its place. The quality of the food was better, but the limited selection and long wait for food had some of us wishing for the old B.I. Another building on campus that got a face-lift was H'Appy's. Many of us remember the place as a converted grocery store that looked like a con­ verted grocery store. Under the assistance of Randy Kelly, the manager of the student social center, H' Appy's became the much-improved Leg­ ends. Parking problems increased that year. If you were like me, you got moved to "Y"lot (Broyhill), which had me asking "Why?" No longer could I walk to my car. In turn, the freshmen could no longer park on campus. Instead, they parked at the newly-created State Farm Lot, making own­ ing a car and being a freshman venient. quite incon­ In concert that year were Chicago and Edie Brickell. A.P.P.S. put on a Lively Arts Festival which included flutist Herbie Mann and Jack Wilkins; and for Yofest that year it was SUNNY! The bands were Henry Lee Summer, the Connells and Awareness Art Ensemble. Comedi­ ans Steven Wright and Bob Goldthwait performed at Farthing. Fence and the Connells returned to Legends. The 1990-91 entertainment season also marked the first appearance of a rap artist, Rob Base, and a heavy metal band. Lynch Mob, both playing at Legends. Other acts that came to campus included the Feelies, Sex Police, Johnny Quest and legendary musician Bob Dylan. Yofest was in­ doors again this year, with the Romantics and Captain Cook and the Coconuts playing a great show. During our junior year, construction began on the Ned Trivette food court, thus taking a large chunk outof the surrounding field. This hal 1 has yet to be completed. The construction people prom­ ised to replace the land taken up by the food facility with more land, even if they had to cut into the parking spaces. This remains to be seen. A.P.P.S. had a banner year with the Smithereens and Connells returning to Legends. George Thorogood and .38 Special played in VarsityGym­ nasium and the "LastTemptationof Chris t,"making its only local appearance, was shown in I.G. Greer. Chick Corea and his Akoustic Band also played Farthing. Emo Phillips and the Indigo Girls played Legends as well. These four years have gone by very quickly, yet these years were memorable ones, indeed. As much as this campus is growing, who knows if any of us who are graduating this year will recognize anything in ten or even five years. The 1990-91 school year began in controversy with the proposed construction of Student Activi­ ties Center near Upper Stadium Field. Much of the student concern about the building of the arena centered around the actual need for such a center, when Belk Library was in dire need of expansion. A.P.P.S. did a fantastic job providing a wide variety of entertainment for the school year. Dillon The campus has grown, but the students have grown with it. We are now ready to stop goofing off and get into the real world. I have only one concern: 1 want "real" life to be as fun and exciting as college life has been. I've heard conflicting reports on how the "real world" is. I guess we'll all have to find out ourselves. Good luck to the class of 1991!!! A.P.P.S. Films Council spotlighted actor Jack Nicholson the entire year and will end the year with showing all three movies in the "Star Wars" saga back to back this weekend. Also this past year, SGA and WASU put together a Candlelight Vigil in support of the troops in the Middle East. Despite the cold tem­ perature (10 degrees) about 500 people still turned out that night. ^L X- j ^ a core of loyal writers who g too many of these weeks.

Bowers was also a memberof the winning mile relay team. "The individual performances of Mel­ issa Morrison, Sabrina Hill and Jennifer Bowers stood out in overall accomplish­ ments," said Weaver, who was selected SC Coach of the Year. "I 'm really proud of all of our girls because this is the first year that all of the people we took to the meet made it through preliminaries and competed in the finals." Gardin was another Appalachian indi­ vidual winner as she finished the 200- meter dash in 24.72. A junior, Gardin ran the 4x100 and 4x400 championship re­ lays, making her a three-time all-confer­ ence selection. Susan Inge, a junior, captured the re­ maining individual title for the Lady Apps with her all-conference throw of 127' 2" in the javelin. Inge also finished fourth in the shot-put at 36' 7.50". Weaver recognized the contribution of the seniors at the SC meet "Jennifer Bow­ ers, Traci Mclntyre, Laura Girouard and Tammy Pearsall were all selections for all-conference. They really made their final championship a big one," Weaver said. Mclntyre finished second in the 5.000 meters at 18:26.62 and fourth in the 3,000 meters in 10:34.93. Girouard finished third in both the 1,500 and 3,000-meter run clocking 4:39.70 and 10:21.37 respec­ tively.

According to ASU Head Coach Sam Adams, Jamieson was the "best performer throughout the year." Adams said, "Jay had a chance to win, but he made a few too many mis­ takes. Jamieson is a very powerful player, and there are very few courses that he can't play successfully. He had a very good fall season, but in the spring season he didn't play as well as he could have." The spring season, Adams explained, was a disappointment. The Mountaineers were expected to finish higher than the seventh place they stumbled to this spring. "The season as a whole was disappoint­ ing," Adams said. "We didn't play any­ where near our potential all season long. We would begin to play bad and lose our confidence." Adams said once the team lost their confidence, they were unable to regain it, and thus they failed to play their best golf. Despite the disappointing season, Adams has reason to look forward to next year. Several Mountaineers showed im­ provement during the season, and Adams will have some new talent to work with next year.

The Mountaineers finished sixth in the team standings in the end-of-the-year tourney. The ASU Lady Mountaineer golf team wrapped up their spring season, April 1820 at the William and Mary Tournament in Williamsburg, Va. ASU placed eighth out of 10 teams in the tournament, thus concluding an inconsistent seasonfor Head Coach David Osmer's squad. Appalachian State was able to get their highest finish in Charleston, S.C. at the College of Charleston Invitational. The Lady Apps placed third out of seven teams there and played perhaps their best golf of the season. However, Osmer used two other tour­ naments this year to gauge how well his team played. According to Osmer, ASU schedules two tough tournaments every season and then points to those tourneys as the most important of the year. "I schedule two fairly tough tourneys every year," Osmer said. "This year we went to Furman in the spring and Duke last fall. Those are against some of the lop teams in the nation. If we play well at those two tournaments, then we think we have been fairly successful. The (other tournaments) don't have the caliber of players that are present for (those) two tourneys." ASU freshman Amy Mouser was the most solid player for Osmer this season. According toOsmer, Mouser"played well at the Furman tournament and was a med­ alist forus." Mouser also turned in ASU's low score at the James Madison Invita­ tional in Harrisonburg, Va. Osmer said, "The upperclassmen have played well for us. Amy Mouser played very well at both the JMU Invitational and at Furman. She was my low player for the team. As a whole, though, we didn't play very well." "They haven't really reached their po­ tential yet," Osmer said of the team mem­ bers. "We have only one junior, one sophomore and the rest are freshmen. They lack experience and that hurts them. Their abilities haven't been developed to their fullest yet." Osmer expects that with more experi­ ence, ASU could become a topnotch, con­ sistent team. One thing that hurts Appala­ chian is the lack of a conference tourna­ ment. Furman is the only other Southern Conference school that fields a women's golf team, so the Lady Mountaineers are unable to challenge for league titles like their counterparts on the men's team.

ASU Head Coach Al Fereshetian was pleased with the performances of his ath­ letes. "In general, we performed very well, and a lot of breakthroughs were made," Fereshetian said. "Jon Fullen was great and Linell Johnson has always come so close to winning a conference title but ended up short. We couldn't have done much to change the score, but we com­ peted well and set the tone for the future. VMI has a lot of seniors, and next year will be ASU's opportunity to get back to the top." Joe, David Ess, Steve Simandle, Mar­ tin and Lem Anderson provided depth for the Apps. Joe turned out an all-confer­ ence performance in the 400-meter race with a third place time of 48.13. Joe also finished fourth in the 200-meter competi­ tion with 21.88 and was a member of the 4x100 relay. Ess outdistanced East Tennessee State powerhouse runners to finish second in the 1,500-meter at 3:54.66 and third in the 800-meter at 1:54.23. Simandle took second in the 3,000meter steeplechase with a time of 9:16.81, a personal record by 28 seconds. He went on to finish sixth in the 5,000-meters with a time of 15:17.07. Martin ran with the 4x 100-meter relay team and took third in the 100-meters at 10.85. Anderson set the fastest ever Mountaineer freshman clock­ ing in the 1,500-meters with a time of 3:56.29. good for fourth place.

Meanwhile, Plautzand Moeller teamed in the number-one doubles bracket to fin­ ish seven tli, and Marston and Dulin teamed in the number-two doubles bracket to take sixth place. "It (the injuries)didn't help our results, but I think it will help us in the long run," Moeller, who was forced to play at number two midway through the season after ASU lost its top two players, epito­ mized Appalachian's season with his per­ formance last weekend. Moeller played well, but was forced to play the number two seed, ETSU's Luis Gonzalez, in the first round. Gonzalez eventually finished second in the tourney. "I played well, but not well enough to beat him (Gonzalez). I got a tough draw and had to play the number-two seed and we had a real close match," Moeller said. Moeller and Bell both agreed that this year's experience, despite the disappoint­ ing results, will help the team next year. "We'll have a lot more experience, and my mental game will be tougher now that Bell said. "It will really help the individu­ als who got to play and it will definitely make us a much tougher team next year." Furman, after scoring individual cham­ pionships in six different flights, nipped East Tennessee State to win the tourna­ ment. The Paladins finished with 67points, barely enough to defeat ETSU's 66. UT was third with 48 points, followed by Western Carolina (43), The Citadel (38) ASU and VMI. Furman trailed ETSU 63-61 after Saturday's second-round but won six of eight matches against the Buccaneers on Sunday to claim the title. It was the second consecutive conference champi­ onship for the Paladins.

Here s my attempt: As I sit and think about all the activity that has mounded this year, it amazes me the year has come and gone so quickly. I ave so many people to thank.... Teresa, Sally—You both have provided so much fun and laughter to the taff. Teresa, your hard work in production and on the staff is proof of your edication to "The Appalachian." I wish you the best in working with the staff extyeareven if I can't spell your name right. Sally, from discussing dresses nhe latest movies we'd seen, I really enjoyed working with you, but most nportantly I enjoyed our friendship. Michelle, Tracy—Your contributions to the newspaper were significant, relied heavily on both of you to use sound judgment—and you never let me own. I wish you both the best. Michelle, best wishes on your upcoming larriage. Why are we in college? Most likely, we are here to receive an education which will eventually help us get a job. Our generation is on the fast track toward prosperity. College is a neccesary stop along the way to the big salaries. But college used to be more than a fueling station for career-bound graduates. Why do most students come to college? "A survey of entering freshmen, conducted by the Higher Education Research Institute, has shown a steady climb in the pro­ portion of students whose main reason for attending college is to make money— from 40.5 percent in 1970 to 76 percent in 1987," reported a "Phi Beta Kappa" article. The number of students who see college as an opportunity to develop a meaningful philosophy on life has plumetted in the last 20 years— from 83 percent to 39 percent. A career is very important and a necessity as the 21st century approaches. A philosophy on life and an under­ standing of what being human entails, however, is even more important. Many universities today are educating the intellect, but neglecting the human attributes found in the mind. Stu­ dents become computers. Each class consists of putting more information into the memory circuits. But the "computer-student" isn't ready for the outside world. is not the possession of information that matters most, but Shea (Muffin)—I mentioned before that Denise was one of the best staff Kisions 1 made—you were one of the others. You'll never know how long days would have been if you had not shown me your art projects which 'adc me laugh even though they were chaotic. I hope that we work together Sam. Kurt—i came to rely on your editorial advice heavily this past year. Without your help I would not have been sitting here writing this, ulcer free. osay Thank you" just doesn't just quite cover it. Good luck as Editor next ^ You earned that title, and I hope your year is as wonderful as mine has ten. And last but certainly not least, Mary Ann. You've been there so many I lost count in August. You've helped me achieve all the goals for myself and then some. You forced me to look at the big picture when 'dn t want to, and reeled me in when I needed to be set straight. You' ve been '®re than my advisor, you have become one of my best friends. ank you for helping me with the paper, but thank you more for making to take an honest look at myself, picking me up and brushing me off when c' flat on my face, and for being my foundation. There were times when tendered if I had what it took—you never let me down. Of all the people ^member at ASU, I will look back atour friendshipas one of my fondest emories. If you ever wondered whether or not you made a difference in me°ne s life-—don't give it a second thought—I'm living proof. mes f°r mc tion. In spite of all of these problems, I am optimistic about the future of our institu­ tion. This optimism is based in part, of course, on the expectation that the current economic problems are temporary and will give way to a more prosperous state economy. But as I have said on numerous public occasions, my optimism is an­ chored in my confidence that Appalachian's faculty and staff are the sort of dedicated anddetermined teachers, scholars and academic professionals who will simply not permit temporary adver­ sity to undo the work of decades. If Appalachian is to continue to fulfill its mission of providing excellence in its educational programs, while continuing to serve as a center of cultural and profes­ sional activity within the state and this region, we will require adequate funding by the legislature. Since our founding in 1899, Appala­ chian has been sensitive to the needs of society and has developed appropriate programs to meet those needs. In the pro­ cess, we have built a national reputation for academic quality. As I look to the future, we are clearly moving proactively to meet thechallenges of this decade. Although the Ed.D. in ^Cver use two words when one will do. i dreams and in life, nothing is impossible, rv ^ k°"s d°wn to one syllable words: Love, God, Give, Share, Talk, augh, Feel, Live, Hope, Dream. Thanks for the surprise party. I bought the farm. Probability can't disprove evolution —James Hilton A broad-based education will fill the hollow graduates. An awakening of what it means to question and know "why" is needed. As Chancellor John Thomas said in his Editor's note: "US News and World Report" and "Phi Beta Kappa" contributed to this article. Bauman will be pursuing his masters degree in SouthCarolina next year. Educational Leadership is temporarily on hold because of the budget situation, this program will prepare senior-level school administrators for the world of practice. This program addresses the needs of the schools providing leaders who will be able to meet the multiplicity of challenges facing education in the 90's. As a result of our recent reexamination of our educational mission carried out at the behest of UNC President Spangler, we have already reported to the General Ad­ ministration that during the coming de­ cade we intend to explore the initiation of degree programs as diverse and exciting as a B.F.A. in Creative Writing and an M.S. in Computer Science. In response to North Carolina's growing need for pro­ fessionals in the allied health fields, we are in the process of considering what contributions Appalachian might be able to make toward a solution to that human and economic problem in the years to come. In short, the future I foresee for our university is decidedly a vibrant and dy­ namic one. It is easy to be optimistic about tomor­ row when you look at Appalachian today. Looking at what happens to our graduates once they leave here, we see a wonderful story unfolding. Each year the number of Appalachian graduates accepted into pres­ tigious programs at medical, law, engi­ neering and other graduate schools in­ creases. Another specific measurable ex­ ample is the accounting program in the College of Business. The number of Ap­ palachian graduates who pass the CPA exam on their first attempt far exceeds the state and national averages. The most recent figures supplied by the State Department of Education shows that more than 25 percent of North Carolina's administrators and 13 percent of the teach­ ers received at least one degree from Ap­ palachian. Of course the key to the quality of an Appalachian education is the caliber and dedication of our faculty. That is why it is imperative that the state provide us with the resources to remain competitive. Lack of state funding, while a major problem, causes us to seek other sources for support. Partnerships and alliances with the corporate sector have provided new opportunities. Recently the university an­ nounced an innovative, unique partner­ ship with Southern Bell and AT&T Net­ work systems. "Impact North Carolina: 21st Century Education" is a ten-year, distance-leam ing project that will beimple­ mented in public schools in a six-county area. The distance-learning system will be one of the first in the nation to deliver interactive-video, voice and data instruc­ tion through existing copper telephone lines, which are universally available. The service will allow schools access to the university resources and enable them to share resources among themselves. As I look toward the future I am mindful that part of our responsibility is to ensure a level of support services consistent with our quality academic program. Services and programs such as our psychological counseling services, health services, in­ tramural recreational opportunities and the Quinn Center provide much needed sup­ port for our students. Yet, it is important to remember that theseservices did not spring up overnight. We must be creative and visionary as we look to the future and assess the needs of future students and faculty. The people who live in and visit our beautiful mountain area are continually impressed by its natural beauty and our quality of life. Appalachian, through its aggressive and innovative recycling pro­ gram, has taken a leading role in ensuring that the next generation will be able to continue to enjoy the beauty and splendor. This past March the North Carolina Recycling Association presented its Re­ cycling Merit Award to Appalachian. In making the award, the university was cited for the large volume of material recycled during the past year, as well as its creative approach and educational activities to en­ courage recycling effortson campus. This past February, the "Recycling Update," the university's newsletter, received the Conservation Communications Award from the State and Federal Wildlife Fed­ eration. M any of us spend aconsiderable amount of time dreaming about the future, never stopping to realize that a little of it arrives every day. That is why I am optimistic when looking at Appalachian's future. We are prepared to meet the needs and face the challenges which lie ahead. This is our destiny today, just as it was 92 years ago. With the dedication, talent and enthusiasm of our students , faculty, staff and friends, Appalachian stands poised to continue to carry out its mission of academic excellence to all who seek it. Evolution articles generate heated attack Aid I couldn't let the year go by without thanking Peggy who helped me Mary Ann straight—you are a gem! i closing, I leave you with many, many thanks for making my senior year ^Pecial and these words: -ers rights of the heart. induction speech in 1979, "A quality, broad-based education gives the student an opportunity to appreciate the arts, music, literature, philosophy and history." Money may come as a result of these awakenings, and it may not. The purpose of these disciplines is not to make a business executive, a biochemist, a school teacher or an athlete. They are ingredients for making a well-rounded human. Business leaders today are looking for the graduates who can communicate comfortably with anyone. They want men and women of character. They want respon­ sible employees who value human relations more than the bottom line. CEOs from some of the largest companies in America want the most skilled workers, but also workers who are friendly, creative and warm. They want human beings, not shy, introverted robots. The liberal arts classes required before graduation should not be blown off as "stupid requirements." Phi­ losophy and religion, music, art, English and foreign languages all make the vital human connection needed to free us from narrow-minded ways of thinking. Don't think every new idea is right. The passing of time does not make today's knowledge better than yesterday's knowl­ edge. A liberated person has the ability to look at all ideas without a liberal or conservative bias and then choose those which are true; those which will lead to society's greatest welfare. If more students take advantage of these opportunities, graduates will no longer only be information carriers but will be responsible, mature men and women capable of handling the challenges ahead. Of course, don't forget to acquire the information needed to succeed in your career, but remember what is really important. Our education will not end when a diploma is hung on the wall.

Hollow men and women parade across the stage at graduation each year. The shell has been perfectly chis­ eled by assignments and grievous tests. The diploma boasts of accomplishments, and yet for many, the spirit is still that of a freshman. As Steven Muller, President of John Hopkins University put it, "Universities are turning out skilled barbarians." We must realize liberal arts and humanities courses are important tools for developing the whole person. The word "liberal"comes from the Latin "liberalis"—the free person as distinguished from the slave. The liberal arts classes should free students from false truths, prejudices, fears and doubts. They should teach about humanity and how we relate to each other. We learn how to use the key of liberal education to unshackle us from our false ideas and methodologies. No student should ever graduate as a slave to ignorance. One of the greatest enslaving forces inherent in each of us is"method." We have learned method and not content. Method is the way we do the things we do. Content is knowing why we do those things. Maybe method doesn't sound important, but let's look at an example. It has been documented that abusedchildren often grow up to be abusers of their own children. One "Los Angeles Times" article told of such a story. The mother, who had been abused throughout her life, would beat her son, even though she didn't want too. She would lock him in his room until she cooled off for fear she would hurt him. She was shackled by method. . Prejudice, fear, doubt and commonly accepted dogmas must be examined. We need to know why we do what we do, and not just throw upour hands and say, "that's just the way I am." Some have the method of accepting all authority without question. Others question all authority, no matter what. These are two more methods commonly held with no knowledge of why they are held. Both enslave us. To the Editor: I recently attended the Association of Southeastern Biologists conference held at ASU. On April 11, there were two articles in "The Appalachian" on creationism and evolution. The first article by Christopher L. Oates was an attempt to integrate creationist ideas and evolutionary theories. The ideas were interesting, and it is commendable that some accommodation of ideas be attempted, but some arguments Oates uses are fallacious. Oates uses, without naming it, the "Omphalos" argument— that God created the Universe (and Earth, as well as Adam and Eve) with the appearance of age. This argument was refuted many years ago, but continues to appear in one form or another today. What one has to accept with the Omphalos argument is that the "apparent" age is much greater than needed to make a functioning earth. As an example, there is no reason igneous rocks should be dated to various ages in the millions to billions of years—they would logically need be no older than the creation. To accept the Omphalos argument requires the acceptance of the idea that God deliberately created a world that has false appearance of great age—that God has tricked us. Few Christians would accept this position. Oates states that the greatest conflict is over the origin of humans. One evolutionary concept that has received some support is that clay crystals may have been a primary organizing nucleus for early chemical reactions leading to the origin of life and ultimately to us. Life from the "dust of the earth?" Yes, possibly. Perhaps there is not as much conflict between the Bible and evolu­ tionary theory as Oates or fundamental­ ist creationists would have us believe. The second article on the "myths and bias of evolution" by David Bauman contains several errors, but 1 will focus on the most egregious of them: false propositions that probably precludes the formation of proteins and that interme­ diates in the fossil record do not exist. The argument that probability precludes protein formation as used in the article is correct only if one is referring to a chance formation of a specific sequence of amino acids. However, the argument loses all force if one is referring to any sequence that has a function. Bauman states that only one combination is the right one for a protein. This is mislead­ ing to the argument. A specific function of a protein can be accomplished with several different amino acid sequences. This vastly improves the odds of a functional protein forming by chance (which may not have been the case entirely by some naturalistic scenarios). In addition, the early enzymes did not have to function with the efficiency seen in similar enzymes today, but only had to be slightly functional to "work" in a prebiotic world. This means precise amino acid sequence is unnecessary as a condition of formation and function for scientific studies of the origin of life. Bauman also states that in the fossil record, intermediary forms do not exist. This is incorrect.

Dr. Gr ing- vice chancellor for student development, congratulated the award winners, who are students involved in service ai ship Students have many opportunities to excel while at school. Some success can be measured by grade point averages or by involvement and leadership. The uni­ versity has rewarded this kind achieve­ ment with special recognition. On Friday, April 26, the office of stu­ dent development hosted a luncheon for the top ten students of the sophomore, junior and senior classes. According to Dr. Harvey Durham, provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs, the crite­ ria for induction to this group were very strict. Students had to have maintained at least a 3.85 grade point average and have attended the university full-time for at least three semesters. Dr. Braxton Harris, professor emeritus in the departmentofleadershipand higher education, gave a speech that challenged students to tackle the impossible. Later that afternoon, the student leader­ ship awards were presented in the Pub. These awards included the Who's Who Among American Colleges and Universi­ ties Awards for 1990-1991. According to Bob Feid, assistant vice chancellor for student development, these were bestowed upon students who have made "significant personal contributions to ASU." Awards for student service and student leadership were also presented. AmyBarr, Jodi Roberto, Trey Setzer and Tammie Tolbert all received special recognition with the Ronny L. Brooks Award for Outstanding Leadership. Barr, A.P.P.S. president, said that re­ ceiving the Ronny L. Brooks award "was really a great honor" and that she saw it "as a thank you from the university." "A student leader must be an outgoing person and must be willing to lead, not to dictate. He or she should be willing to roll up his or hersleeves and do any job thathe or she would assign to anyone else," Barr said. Roberts, who has worked with Resi­ dence Life in numerous positions in the past four years, sees the award as a sign of the things she has accomplished while being a student at ASU. Roberts agrees with Barr's opinion of the qualities that a leader needs topossess. "A leader needs to be not only the leader of the group, but also a member. You need to use what you've learned to help the members of your group to learn,"Roberts said. Criteria for the Robert L. Brooks Award are as follows: The students should make exceptional leadership contributions to an organiza­ tion and are nominated by the director of the organization. ancer society uses shock advertising campaign LI STI JONES rA-nian Staff Writer :s show the rate of smoking is while lung cancer rates are on helppeople visualize theprobLhe American Cancer Society reI an ad that has received many com- tist i that was run in "The AppalaaJled "Sophisticated Lady" has as "gross" by many students. "It's sick. It's very effective. You can't help but notice it because it's so gross," said ASU junior Meredith Eckert, who is a smoker. A student at Davidson College also said the ad was "gross," according to the College Press Service. The young woman in the ad is hold­ ing a cigarette and is covered in tar and nicotine. Underneath her the copy reads, "If what happened on your inside hap­ pened on your outside, would you still smoke?" "Unless you do something out of the ordinary it doesn't get noticed," ACS spokesperson Sue Kirkland told the Col­ lege Press Service. Kirkland also said the ad does not make people feel good, but it does get the message across. However, not all people feel this ad is effective. "Things like this aren't really going to make smokers stop," said ASU junior Lisa Narducci, who is a smoker. "It's just one more scare tactic that won't work," said Mary Strickland, who is in charge of the Fresh Start quit-smok­ ing program at the Wellness Center. Kit Olsen, director of the AS U Wellness Strickland also said the ACS has put Center, says that one ad is not going to out other ads that are more effective. mrke a person quit smoking and that it is Another anti-smoking ad used by the a day-by-day process that involves a lot of ACS is called "Draggin' Lady."

Above her the copy reads, "Draggin' Lady (drag'en la'dejn. an otherwise at­ tractive girl who exhibits the dreadful signs of smoking shown below. Are you a draggin' lady?" Statistics show lungcancer spreads very quickly. It has been estimated that by the year 2000, lung cancer deaths may in­ crease to 2 million. During 1990 in North Carolina there were 4200 new cases of lung cancer re­ ported. According to the ACS, 36percent of these cases were localized survival rates. Many people are still getting lung cancer even though statistics show the number of people smoking is declin­ ing, said ACS. Smoking rates have been shown to first decline in men, then in women.

Mario to raise tuition by $500 per - lay off faculty and staff mems lash state aid by $400 million, S students at one (CUNY) campus—City College— took over five buildings. At the same time, students at Borough of Manhattan Community College, Lehman College, Hunter College, Bronx Community College, Hostos Community College, New York City Technical Col­ lege and Brooklyn College chained and barricaded themselves inside administra­ tion and academic buildings. "They can't ignore this," said Rafael Alvarez, president of City College's Day Student Government. Like those at CUNY, students in at least a dozen states may be facing tuition hikes of more than 10 percent next fall. In early April, for example, Virginia community college students, who already have faced two tuition hikes this term, learned they will have to endure a 17.5 percent jump. The nine-campus Univer­ sity of California system will increase its fees by 40 percent. In mid-March, trustees of one of the largest college systems in the United States—the 19-campus California State University system—announced they were raising fees by 20 percent for next fall. The State University of New York, which is the biggest system in the land, will cost students 60 percent more next year, while Massachusetts Gov. William Weld in February imposed yet another tuition hike—the fifth in two years—on public campus students in his state. All of hikes, of course, were prompted by the budget emergencies in at least 20 states, where the recession has dramati­ cally decreased the amount of tax money local governments have collected. As a result, the state governments have less money to spend on everything from roads to schools. Left with less money from their states, public colleges must then slash their own spending and raise money from other sources such as students. Students, on the other hand, pro­ test they can ill afford to pay more for college. Cal State'sfee hike may keep 10,000 to 43,000 students from enrolling next fall, the California Postsecondary Education Commission and state Assembly Com­ mittee on Higher Education estimated April 8. "What (Cuomo) is doing is closing the doors to access for thousands of students in the CUNY system," City College's Alvarez maintained. "If students can't make it at CUNY, where else can they go?"CUNYChancellor W. Ann Reynolds agreed. ^ ow Row Your Car Recession causes problems for grads Lingering economic hardships continue to affect nationwide job market Appalachian Pholo by R»i*WI (UUUnk LIFE OFFICE AND PARKING LOT FLOODED: Sunday >onc Was hit with almost an inch of rain in one hour.

(CPS)—Witha3.3 grade point average and many activities and part-time jobs to her credit,Sharon Seaman would seem to be an ideal recruit for one of the hundreds of companies that hire college seniors each year. But after interviews with 12 compa­ nies, Seaman, a senior marketing major at the University of Colorado (CU), still hasn't found a job. "It's a very stressful situation," Sea­ man said of her search, which started last semester. Seaman is not alone. Graduating seniors around the country report having an unusually hard time lin­ ing up their first post-graduate job this term. Various campuses report students be­ ginning to send out resumes scattershot to companies. Some students reportedly have simply stopped looking for work until economic conditions improve. The student job outlook "took a turn for the worse last winter," says Dawn Oberman, a statistical services specialist with the College Placement Council (CPC), a Pennsylvania-based group that tracks recruiting and hiring of college graduates nationwide. Corporate recruiters haveeither sharply curtailed the numbers of campuses they visited thissemester or stopped interview­ ing seniors altogether. "Winter quarter we started seeing a large number of cancellations"by compa­ nies scheduled to interview on campus, recalled Carolyn Henning, director of ca­ reer services at Santa Clara University in California. Henning did not know the exact num­ ber of corporations that had canceled, but said the companies that did come to re­ cruit seemed to have fewer openings to fill. The East Coast had similar problems. "A large number of firms ended up not coming" for interviews they had sched­ uled at American University in Washing­ ton, D.C., said Jon Markus, a human re­ source management and sociology major who has been interviewing since last se­ mester. "My impression overall is that themar­ ket, especially around here, isn't very good," he added. A national survey backs him up. Michigan State University's annual survey of 549 employers released last December found that company hiring quotas for the class of 1991 had dropped 9.8 percent since the year before. Moreover, class of 1990 quotas had dropped 13.3 percent from 1989. Cornell and Yale universities, the universities of Cincinnati, Southern California, Massachusetts at Amherst, Illinois at Champaign and California at Los Angeles and Boston College, among many others, also have re­ ported recruiting slumps this school year. "I know fewer companies came on cam­ pus" this winter than during fall term. Seaman notes of her search. The recession "has companies re­ evaluating their needs," explained Oberman. So college placement counselors are encouraging students to do everything possible to make themselves more mar­ ketable to the decreasing number of re­ cruiters coming to campus. "We're spending a lot more individual time with students," reported Marilyn Mackes, director of career services at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania. "We're really trying to be aggressive during a time when things are kind of tight," she added. Seaman has been making contacts through the school's College of Business and Administration. "The promising interviews"have come through the business school, she said. Markus has been sending resumes to companies that haven't come to campus. Career counselors also say some stu­ dents, discouraged by reports of a shrink­ ing job market, are waiting to start their job searches until the situation improves. "A large fraction of people are trying to avoid the issue," admitted Mackes. Some students "may not be as worried about (the job picture) as they should be," agreed Henning. Students are also looking into other options including graduate school and the Peace Corps' Teach for America, a pro­ gram that encourages recent graduates to go into teaching. In fact, dozens of graduate schools re­ ported in early M arch that they are wading through an unusually high number of ap­ plications for next fall. But for the students who are pinning their hopes on a career with a company, time is starting to run out "I've been told if I haven't found a job by summer, don't even bother to look until after summer," said Markus, who would like to stay in Washington. "I'm not looking forward to the pros­ pect of going home (to Cleveland), but I will if I have to," he added. �-The Appalachian Tuesday Arrg jnnj Annua1 celebration to be held: Mayfest, which will have profes- ] °P TtfZTn 10 wiU erate from 10 AdmiSSi°n Wil1*$200- *•">• to 7 p.m. on Satunlay, w Form more information contact Patrick Saxon at 262-2095. ror U* Items to library can be picked up: Belk library has numerous items in its lost and found department.

"I wanted give students a chance to think in a deeper way about this issue," she ex­ plained. While there was some protest over Marvin's actions, there were no dem­ onstration like the one at Wisconsin, which may have been a result of Gerson's timing with respect to the war, Marvin said. She doesn't regret burning the flag, but Marvin said she wouldn't do it again be­ cause "it isn't an issue right now." Flags, however, are an issue. Both the University of Maryland at College Park and Cornell University had to modify rules in recent months to allow patriotic stu­ dents to display American flags from their dorm windows. In March, Harvard Uni­ versity students wrote letters and held eat-ins ' to protest a dorm resident's pro­ vocative display of a Confederate flag, which university President Derek Bok officially "deplored" but said was "con­ sistent with established First Amendment standards." ^ncer :d from page 1 X ^86 Surgeon's General Report —involuntary smoking is a cause of including lung cancer in healthy •Iters." :s estimate that 19 percent of lung non-smokers comes from expo­ Weekly Special—9 oz.

Similarly, Wisconsin officials conceded that Gerson "had every right" to bum the flag, said Mark Kinders, director of the system's news bureau. "Gerson has absolute academic free­ dom on this," Kinders continued. But in a "personal statement," Wiscon­ sin Chancellor Gary Thibodeau chastised Gerson, calling his methods "offensive and insensitive." "In my opinion. Professor Gerson's action was that of a faculty member with little teaching experience who did not, unfortunately, discuss his methodology with his more experienced faculty peers and colleagues," Thibodeau said. Political science department chairman Richard Brynildsen concurred that, had Gerson discussed burning a flag before class, Brynildsen would have told him they were in "a part of the world where it would generate a lot of heat." On theother hand, he added, "there's no way in the world I would have told him not to do it."

Where are most Appalachian students headed after exams? Everywhere and anywhere is the answer. The choices students make for summer are as diverse as the students themselves.

What better way is there to visit Europe? We get credit for the work we do, as well as the opportunity to study writers in the countries in which they lived." A summer program through the history department will allow 30 ASU students to live and study in historic Newport, Rhode Island. Classes are enhanced by weekend trips into New England to the particular site studied. English and history courses are offered. Many students also work as interns in preservation and historic societies. Some upperclassmen meet graduation require­ ments by completing an internship over the sum­ mer. Junior Rick Roberts is working with a New York ad agency.

It is a half-hour of fun could teach an advantage over other students when you enter the work force." There are over 150camps in North Carolina, and many depend on college students for staff. Stu­ dents can work at camps geared toward certain ages, religions or activities. There are many day camps and traditional camps scattered throughout North Carolina. Students generally have a wide choice in camp location, size, affiliation, length and purpose. Money lures many students back home for the summer. Many students work the entire vacation. Junior Mike Golden expressed a view held by many other ASU students: "I can't afford not to work. I would much rather have the free time, but I have to pay for school next fall." There is always Boone. It isn't as bad as it sounds. Summer school is an option many students Appsitchian Photo by Ksttn Jackson THE THINKER: Students in various organizations strived to stress environmental concerns and alert others about the importance of these issues last week in observance of Earth Week. The Environmental Art Expo was organized by Kristina Harter. Students and organizations showed their enthu­ siasm for Earth Week last week with an environ­ mental expo featuring displays and information tables set up in the student union. Among these were tables sponsored by People for Animal Lib­ eration, Students Actively Volunteering for the Environment, the Appalachian River Alliance and an Environmental Art Expo featuring art work by students and organizations. The expo was sponsored by the Environmental Issues Committee of Appalachian, which is com­ posed of faculty. PAL had an information table set up with litera­ ture concerning such issues as animal breeding, vegetarianism and proper treatment of animals. PAL President Sandy Feutz said, "Animal rights go hand-in-hand with the environment. People don't realize how beneficial a vegetarian lifestyle is." According to their constitution, "the purpose of PAL is to promote harmonious living between all animals, human and non-human." The table sponsored by SAVE had information about such pressing issues as rain forest destruc­ tion, endangered species and recycling. Sopho­ more Shauna Roman said, "We hope to promote awareness and educate the campus about current environmental issues." The Appalachian River Alliance was on hand selling Watauga River Cleanup T-shirts. The Environmental Art Expo was organized by sophomore Kristina Harter. The project stemmed from an interest she developed in an environmental studies class called World Game. The class en­ courages people to pick a problem and solve it. "You deal with larger environmental problems and attempt to solve them on a local level," Harter said. "I decided that environmental art would be a good way to catch people's attention," Harter said. Harter asked organizations and individuals to par­ ticipate. "I was glad that a variety of groups partici­ pated, because the environmental crisis is everyone's problem.Often, environment concerns are associated with one group, and that can be isolating for the rest of the community," said Harter. Among the other participants were Active Stu­ dents for the Community, Appalachian Commu­ nity Together, the Blast-off Program, the Canter­ bury College Fellowship, Westminster) Fellow­ ship, Kenny Belk, Scott Foxx and Ashley Hutchinson. The groups spent a lot of time working on the projects. ASC sponsored a mural of a tree. Senior Jacque Trow said, "We cjq a.Iot of specific things for the community, sc?elch branth may represent an organization that the club would volunteer for. ASC is a community-based organization where students can come together as volunteers." The Canterbury College Fellowship displayed a large papier-mache tree.The idea came from Shel Silverstein's book, "The Giving Tree," which was placed on the display with an invitation to be read. "We just thought it really expressed the environ­ ment and Christianity as a whole. People need to see the earth as a gift which will give, but we can't always take," said senior Laura Clement. The WAMY Community Action program in­ cludes Watauga, Avery, M itchell and Yancey coun­ ties. The Blast-off program is an after-school en­ richment program for grades one through five. It includes CoveCreek and Green Valley elementary schools. The schools participated by submitting pictures concerning the earth and a beautification design and plan for their school, respectively. Green Valleystudents toured the school to see their artwork. ASU partnership helps small businesses adjust ASU News Bureau Barbara Lawrence is a matchmaker. As direc­ tor of the Northwest Small Business and Tech­ nology Development Center (SBTDC), she works with business owners and would-be entrepre­ neurs, matching their needs with faculty or student interns who can offer solutions to their business problems. The SBTDC, housed inWalker College of Busi­ ness, provides support and advice to fledgling businesses and established businessmen in a sixcounty area. In operation since 1988, thecenter has given one-on-one confidential counseling to 300 clients. The SBTDC's support of economic develop­ ment in the state combines academic resources availableat Appalachian with resources from across the state, fostering economic development in Watauga, Ashe, Avery, Wilkes, Alexander and Caldwell counties. Counseling is provided for those starting abusiness operation, expanding small busi­ nesses and developing new markets for products produced locally. "It's a great opportunity for businesses and stu­ dents too," Lawrence said. "The businessman gets advice he or she might not be able to otherwise afford, and the student gets hands-on experience and a chance to see ideas and business theories at work." Students in the College of Business's Small Business Institute take classes in business policy, small business management and entrepreneurship. Students then help prepare feasibility studies and marketing plans and analyze finances, production and accounting systems for clients. "Students get a special education out of the experience," Lawrence said, "they learn you have to deal with the human factor—that an owner's dreams and ideas might not always fit a textbook scenario. Most of those seeking advice from the SBTDC are from the manufacturing and service sector. Volunteers havecounseled 156menand97 women. The center has worked with a diverse ethnic popu­ lation including blacks, American Indians and Hispanics.

Horoscopes for April 30-May 15 General Tendencies—The intellectual drive starts up in full force just in time for final papers and exams. Energy levels will be high during the next two weeks, and will aid in beginning new projects, regenerating oneself and making the end of the semester fairly active and exciting. Travel, romance and developing one's spirituality will highlight this period and carry over into summer. Aries (March 21-April 20)—As you go charg­ ing through this period you will leave people and situations around you in disarray. Relationships will become strained because of your need to run, breathe and think, away from others. Be careful, though, not to push them away too hard or you might lose them. With Mercury in your sign in the 9th house, finals should be a breeze, ifyoucanstay still long enough to study!! T*\irus(April21-May20)—Financial andspiri­ tual affairs come into the spotlight during this period. As an earth sign you need to stabilize your ;nT.r spirit so that your powars of concentration and expression can be fully utilized. It is a good time to put summer finances and travel plans into perspective. Be careful of overactivity and becom­ ing a spendthrift because you will burn yourself out before you reach the peak of the new cycle of experiences that is in store for you in the future. Gemini (May 21-June 20) —Spending your time wisely is going to be a difficult task during this period. It is best to keep time aside to spend with close friends and family, while completing what needs to be done. Try not to spread yourself too thin. It is also a good time to work with the integration of your conscious and unconscious mind. Guard against being too bold in speech and acting like a know-it-all, as well as misrepresent­ ing your ideas. Cancer (June 21-July 21)—Emotional frustra­ tions and lack of inner focus make you feel out of tune with your environment.

The All-league team named Former ASU linebacker flew to Miami last week to pen deal )ME KURT C.WARD Appalachian Sports Editor By 7 Former ASU linebacker Dwayne Pelham, who completed his collegiate career in November, signed a oneyear deal with theMiami Dolphins Thurs­ day. "I feel great about it," Pelham said of die signing. The 6'2", 225-pound Pelham and his discussed free agent contracts with Philadelphia, Dallas and Miami. Pelham said the criteria in selecting a team included the interest shown by a team, the team's need for a linebacker and his chances at making the squad. 105 Ei "After all the math, Miami was the lesldtt choice," Pelham said. "Miami has older Sheratc linebackers and they are looking for youth and speed. I think that's what I offer." —_ , After a four-day mini-camp that begins Thursday, Pelham will join the train­ ing camp on May 31. He feels confident he will make the team. "If I get on somebody's football field, you can pretty much put me on the team," Pelham said. This week's mini-camp is for all free agents and rookies. It will be a chance for Pelham to meet the coaches and start thowing his talents, he said. The camp III 15 will include some clocked runs of the 40meter dash, some shuttle runs and a physi­ cal. Pelham's main concern about Miami is the heat. "With the humidity, it felt like it was 120 degrees," Pelham said. "I've been in some hot places, but I'm telling you this place was hot. "I m looking forward to seeing how my body is going to react to the heat. When I left Boone (Thursday morning), it was near freezing, and when I stepped off the plane, I almost fainted." Pelham said he briefly met Dolphin Head Coach Don Shula, but Shula's son, Mike, handled his contract signing. Pelham said he was not at all disap­ pointed that he was not selected in the NFL's draft last week. "I figured I would be a free agent," Pelham said. "Dallas was the only team I thought would draft me." However, Dallas selected two other linebackers with comparable speed and size, Pelham said. Pelham, a criminal justice major who will graduate May 19, said that he will always remember ASU. "My talent has never been appreciated like the students here at ASU and the Boone community appreciate it," Pelham said. "If I reach the point I hope to reach, I will always remember Appala­ chian and put theschool in the forefront at all times." During his three-year stint as linebacker for ASU, Pelham recorded 291 tackles. He was selected for the all-conference team twice and was chosen as a pre­ season I-AA All American by"The Sport­ ing News" prior to the start of the 1990 schedule. In his junior season, Pelham topped the team in total tackles with 128 and in solo stops with 96. Also in that year, he had 10 tackles for loss, four sacks, three interceptions and eight caused fumbles. Pelham was recruited from SeventyFirst High School in Fayetteville, where he topped the conference in rushing his senior season with 1,555 yards and 13 touchdowns. He rushed in two contests his fresh­ man season at ASU, before being sjdelined due to ankle injuries. He was then moved to linebacker for his sophomore year. In his senior season with the Mountain­ eers, Pelham started all 11 games and finished second on the team in tackles with 89. He recorded three tackles for lors, three quarterback pressures, two caused fumbles, two interceptions and four passes broken up. game was the final of the year for the Mountaineers.

Appalachian Staff Reports AflpIschitn Photo by Trey Horeck NFL-BOUND: ASU linebacker Dwayne Pelham returns an interception against Western Carolina. Pelham, a two-time All-Southem Conference selection, signed a free agent contract with the Miami Dolphins last Thursday. Two ASU baseball players were named All-Southem Conference last Thursday as play began in the league's end-of-theyear tournament. ASU senior centerfielder Scott Waugh was named to the first team at his position, while junior outfielder Johnny McCraw made the league's second team at two positions, in the outfield and as the desig-. nated hitter. The pair finished the season as the Mountaineer's first and second leading hitters, with McCraw leading the way with a team-high .381 average. McCraw also led the the team in home runs (10), runs batted in (41), runs scored (40), hits (61) and total bases (105). He tied for the team lead in doubles with 12, equaling teammate Joe Bernard's mark. McCraw's slugging percentage of .656 was 164 percentage points higher than the team's second leading slugger, Tony' McCabe. Waugh was the second-leading hitter on the squad, batting .329 on the year. He led the team in plate appearances (161) despite the fact he was hamperedfor much of the season with a pulled hamstring See ALL-LEAGUE page 8 Former member Davidson could rejoin Southern Conference Appalachian Staff Reports According to areport published in"The Charlotte Observer," Davidson College Athletic Director Terry Holland wants his lcho°l10 return to the Southern Confertnce. Holland is expected to make therecom""fhtion at Davidson's spring trustees jetting. Holland said that the school's his­ torical ties to the conference make it an ideal candidate for the expanding league. "There have been such long-term ties there, between our school and the league, it's hard to see us not doing that," Holland told "Observer" reporter Stan Olson. Davidson was a member of the Southem Conference from 1936 to 1987. Holland said Davidson President John Kuykendall also favors the move to the Southern from the Big South, Davidson's current conference. "I'd have to say he does," Holland said of Kuykendall. "We've been cautious, but you can't ignore those long-term ties; it's hard to say no to that." Two weeks ago, a SC expansion committee that included Commissioner Dave Hart and Commissioner-elect Wright Waters visited the Davidson cam­ pus. "I don't see any new information coming in," Holland said. "I think we need to go ahead and do what we need to do." Holland, who is in his first year as the Davidson athletic director position, said he hopes school officials can make a final decision on the expansion matter by midMay. According to the "Winston-Salem Journal," SC officials are not rushing into a commitment with the Wildcats. The Southern Conference expanded to nine schools earlier this academic year when they added football powerhouse Georgia Southern. Hart said the league's long-term plans call for the addition of three more schools, bumping the membership number to 12. Hart said once 12 schools are in place, the league will split into two divisions. ASU Athletic Director Roachel Laney echoed the statements of Hart, but said the league is not in a hurry to complete expansion plans. "It's not something we have to do; it is not an emergency situa­ tion," Laney said. "The Southern Con­ ference is very strong, so we don't have to all of a sudden go out arid find some­ one."

Bowers, a senior, came to Appalachian in 1987 from Pembroke Pines, Fla. where she attended Cooper City High School. Bowers' high school did not offer cross country or track for females and when she was recruited by ASU, the large squad and well-developed program appealed to her because it was something that she had always wanted to be involved with throughout high school. A health education major. Bowers is a four-time track letterman and has lettered twice in cross country while being se­ lected as a 10-time All-Southern Confer­ ence performer. Currently ranked first on ASU records in the 800 meters at 2:11, Bowers captured the 800 at the indoor championships with a 2:14.02 clocking, and she finished second in the 1,600 with a time of 5:07.91. Described by Weaver as "a team leader and the core of the distance program from cross country to indoor track to outdoor track," Bowers captured first in the 800 and 1,500 meter runs this past weekend at the outdoor conference meet with respec five clockings of 2:14.55 and 4:35.59. Bowers was also a member of the cham­ pionship 4x400-meter relay team with teammates Hill, Nicole Welford and Lynette Gardin who teamed to clock 3:53.31. Bowers' top times include 2:11 in the 800 meters, 4:35.59 in the 1,500 meters, and 18:59 in the five-kilometer (3.1 mile) cross country course. Hill came to ASU in 1988 from Millbrook High School in Raleigh. A foods and nutrition major, she is the only Lady Mountaineer to have provisionally quali­ fied for the NCAA Nationals, posting 40' 11 1/2" in the triple-jump earlier this sea­ son. Currently ranked number one in all three contested jumps at ASU, Hill's best marks include 40' 11 1/2", 18' 4", and 5' 10" in the triple, long, and high jumps respectively. A 17-time All-Southern Conference athlete. Hill sights her most memorable experience with the Lady Apps track program as being voted Most Valu­ able Player of the field events last season. A junior, "Sabrina is the backbone of our jumpers and has really come out and performed well this season," Weaver said. Indoor conference champion in all three contested jumps. Hill captured the triplejump, setting a new Southern Conference outdoor record, this past weekend at the outdoor championships with a mark of 39' 1/2". Hill also participated on the 4x400meter winning relay team, finished sec­ ond in the high-jump at 5' 6" and third in the long jump (18' 4") and 400-meter dash (58.54). Morrison, a sophomore, came to App Stale in 1989 from A.L. Brown High in Kannapolis whereshe was a four fime allconference selection, a three-time 100meter hurdlesstate champ, and a two-time team MVP. In her first year with the Lady Moun­ taineers, Morrison captured the 55-meter hurdles during this past indoor season and was an All-Southem Conference per­ former. This past weekend at the outdoor con­ ference meet, Morrison was an All-South­ em Conference performer in five of the six events she competed in. Morrison set a new conference record in the 100-meter hurdles at 13.96, good enough to capture first. She ran a leg of the winning 4x100- * meter relay with Alicia Foust, Welford' and Gardin who clocked 46.50. Morrison also finished second in the triple-jump See RUNNERS page 8 �y The.

FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON In recent months the debate over abortion rights has taken on a new and rather disturbing trend. As if the issue were not already divisive enough for the American people, it has now spread, and the wounds may be cutting deeper. Certain tactics being used by the pro-choice side have been extreme and irresponsible. When the state assembly of Utah recently passed a measure aimed at restricting a woman's right to an abortion, feminist groups from around the country began talking about boycotting Utah's tourist industry. The idea is to devastate the state's economy and force the legislators to repeal the law. Certainly the statute in question isone that all but the most ardentpro-lifer would doubt the wisdom of. One provision of the law makes it possible for a doctor to face the death penalty if he or she performs an abortion on a patient. Moderate judgement was not to be found in the Utah assembly the day this statute passed. However, in spite of the dubiousness of this law, the methods employed by pro-choice forces to counter it were not called for. To begin with, the purpose of a boycott would be to destroy the economic fabric of Utah. In the process, many innocent people would also be hurt. The members of the tourist industry could lose everything they have. Many of these people may even be pro-choice. Their livelihoods could be vicious­ ly snatched away from them. Even small children of the state could be hurt This would not be an effective way for the pro-choice movement to win friends in Utah. A better way to accomplish their goals would be to lobby legislators or Utah's governor. They could chal­ lenge the issue in court or find some other ways to convince Utah to re-think its position. But the economic boycott sets a dangerous precedent. This could become a trend on many issues and could be used against all states. Outsiders who decide that a particular law in North Carolina is not what they approve of could take steps to hurt our already ailing economy. The pro-choice move­ ment has already threatened to use similar tactics in Louisiana and Idaho. In the long run, this will probably only cause resentment of the pro-choice movement in these states and the resentment may spread. This would be particularly disturbing because evidence shows that nationwide the pro-choice movement is constantly gain­ ing momentum.It would be ironic if they shot themselves in the foot with these radical tactics. It would also be unfortunate that the greatest damage would be that a fundamental right women now enjoy could be a casualty of their efforts. The movement has also taken an irresponsible posi­ tion toward illegitimateabortion clinics. In 39 states there are no laws that regulate abortion clinics, such as validat­ ing a doctor's credentials or insuring they have proper medical supplies or follow proper medical procedures. As a result, many women have been hurt or killed due to incompetence of people performing abortions on them. Nevertheless, abortion rights groups are reluctant to expose them to women and they vehemently oppose any consideration of regulating them. The argument they use is that regulations of any kind would be used by the pro-life movement to eventually take away a woman's right to an abortion. This rhetoric is remarkably similar to what the National Rifle Associa­ tion has used to justify its opposition to any reasonable gun regulation for so many years. Just as the NRA is losing credibility with Americans, Planned Parenthood runs the same risk if they continue to let dangerous abortion clinics be protected by opposing sensible stan­ dards for them. Furthermore,many women could be their future vic­ tims if these groups refuse to make information on these clinics public. One of the most popular pro-choice slo­ gans is "Keep abortion safe and legal." As long as clinics like these are unregulated, abortion will be anything but safe. The biggest shame of all this is the pro-choice move­ ment could slowly begin to lose itscredibility at a crucial juncture in thedebate. A more responsible effort by these groups would do much more to safeguard the rights they are fighting for. Zen and the low art of garbage collection Stereotypes come crashing down when analyzing what "happiness" is and who has it By CHRISTOPHER OATES Appalachian Staff Writer I had the pleasure recently to ride along with a gentleman who has one of the least glamorous jobs imaginable:road side trash collector. As I am about to graduate with my BSBA degree and ready to embark upon a life of starched white collars and silk ties,I felt I would be far removed from the typeof life this man lives. However, 45 trash cans and 195 miles later, I found out our lives, though obviously different, were performing relatively the same functions for us both. Since his job duties consist of little more than driving a designated route and emptying the roadside garbage cans, what exactly he did in the course of the day carries little interest. His attitudes toward his job and his life, however, were enough to keepmy interest for theentire 8 hours of his working day. For reasons of his own, the DOT worker wished to remain name­ less and is thus referred to in this article as Treavor. I asked Treavor a list of completely unoriginal questions expecting to get completely unoriginal answers. I was surprised. Treavor chose to work for the DOT so he could work outside. He took a tremendous cut in pay by leaving his job working in a textile mill in a neighbor­ ing town. He found his job there both frustrating and unrewarding. "I had to spend 8 hours a day working somewhere, I thought that I ought to be doing some­ thing I like," said Treavor of his decision. Having grown up in a white collar family, my ideas of the blue collar sector was that work was only a means to an end and not the end itself. Reality againslapped the labeT'Naive" on my forehead when I probed the ques­ tion of ambition. It seems that Treavor has spent the last ten years saving for the construction of a house, of his design and chosen location, that is to be built by July of this year. This came through care­ ful planning, considering interest rates and the investment in credit union CDs and money market accounts. This, in itself, blew me away. The only money I have saved in the past five years is the five-dollar bill that got washed in a pair of pants that I have not worn since last spring. I kept reminding myself, I will make so much more money in a shorter period of time. Wrong again. I cannot say exactly how much Treavor makes per year, but with his DOT salary (which includes four full weeks of paid vacation, excellent re­ tirement, health and life insurance, and benefits like timeoff whenever he wants it with little or no notice), and the income from his taxidermy business on the side, he makes a lot more than the average college student will for several years. This, of course, does not include the $25,000 he did not have to spend on five years of college that I did, nor does it include the $75,000+ that I lost in opportunity cost by not having worked a full-time job those five years (5 x $15,000). Having had my fill of the discussion of ambition, I found myself looking at the job itself. Obviously there are advantages of being a pharmaceutical sales represen­ tative over collecting trash, but were they that significant? Treavor burst my bubble again. Number one, heconsiders his job to be of much lower stress level than that of being a college student (he briefly at­ tended Western Carolina University). I have been assured by recruiters that the stress in college is nothing compared to being a sales representative. He can also leave his job in the truck at the end of the day. I wonder exactly how many stock­ brokers can say that of their jobs? At lunch, which was the best meal I have eaten inmonths, Idecided to take out all the stops. I asked about Treavor's per­ sonal goals and if the job helped fulfill any of these. I was informed that Treavor is a hunter anda fisherman, a real outdoorsman, who finds it rewarding to help keep the environment clean in his work. It is dis­ couraging for him to find household gar­ bage in the cans that are designated for traveler's use only, but he is still satisfied in the thought that he contributes to a healthier roadside environment. Strike three, I'm out I spent a great deal of the rest of that afternoon quietly contemplating the uni­ versal implicationsof a man satisfied with his life. This man goes home in the after­ noon in his Japanese sports car to a house of his own design where he has his boat and taxidermy workshop (a perfect retire­ ment plan) to keep him occupied until he wants to go to sleep, and does so, without the pressures of the job keeping him up all night. Poor guy, huh? Even with a tall, cool Beck's, my arro­ gance was hard to swallow. I do not even care to think about what business politics I will face or what a good recession could do to my job security. I have enough to worry about with the thoughts of sleepless nights and the bootlicking duties I am sure to face in my job that Treavor does not even consider in his. I finally learned what my grandfather. Pappy Lee, always tried to teach me through example: It does not matter what you do, justbe happy doing it. Just the same, I do not plan to collect trash all my life, because a salesman I must be, but I will remember the man with the lowliest of jobs, and what he has taught me.

Masher films FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON Dying of thirst in sea of opportunity To the Editor: lllut U III ft H — f you about the time I tosf this! In reference to the article on the hospitality internship at ASU, the following is submitted: 1. The internship in Hawaii last year, as stated, was pretty much a fiasco set up by a hospitality program professor in the college of business and pretty much reflected the current status of the program. No direction and floating on a sea of disarray with no captain. 2. As to Dr. Goddard's comment regarding the busing of tables. He is absolutely right in that they should not hns tables for the entjrejntemship/nie should, however, be required to do so at some time as part of a comprehensive program covering all aspects of the business to include waiting on tables, food prep, dish Washing, etc. In the hospitality program there are no specific requirements set down for a hospitality internship, nor has an attempt been made to design one over the past six years. 3. Broyhill Inn, a physical part of ASU, has had a comprehensive internship set up covering all aspects of operating a full service hotel for five years. The college of business has chosen not to utilize this in-house program, but rather has sent interns everywhere but Broyhill Inn. In the past five years we have had approximately 16 interns, 10 of whom participated the year of its inception. I just happened to be teaching hotel operations during that time. 4. The hospitality program at ASU, if it is retained, needs a total revamping to accommodate the needs of the industry and the future requirements of the students—not the faculty and adminis­ tration who apparently are not too well versed on the hospitality industry nor desirous of learning its desires. 5. As a reflection on the industry's opinion of the program, a dinner was recently held at the Broyhill Inn for the industry representatives and conducted by the hospitality students with no faculty advisor. This dinner is a yearly event and was originally intended to impress the industry with the efficiency of our program. This year, of the approximate 60 attendees, there were a maximum of four industry representa­ tives present, and one of these was a parent of one of the students. Most of the attendees were ASU personnel. This indicates the respect held for the program by the industry in our own state. In closing , if the Ka'anapali Hotel is desirous of providing an internship beneficial to the students, then the students should be given credit for same and not denied it based on the whim of the administration who have chosen not to set up any guidelines for the students to refer to. John Kettenhofen,CHA Broyhill Inn SAC funding and your future bills To the Editor: The more I find out about the fundings of the proposed ASU Student Activity Center, the more it becomes obvious the Appalachian students are being forced quite unfairly to bear the burden for construction of the athletic coliseum. Last week I discovered that charging students for a basketball arena is unprecedented for the North Carolina university system. Western Carolina built the Ramsey Center completely from state funds. Carolina built the Dean Dome exclusively from donations. East Carolina plans to build their arena also from donations. N.C. State will build the Centennial Sports Complex from state and donated funds. Not one dime of the student funds will go to any of these facilities. To get up close and personal with what you as a student will pay for the questionable privilege of looking at an average of 7,000 empty seats at basketball games and spending twice as long at combined graduations, between $10 and $20 million of the cost will be yours. Admittedly, the $20 million may not materialize, but according to Provost Harvey Durham, that is an option being considered in case the legislature doesn't have the money for its share. The plan is to charge each full-time student $110 per year until the facility is paid for. If you are an entering freshman and you take an average length of time to graduate, you will pay $550. This week I discovered another disturbing aspect of the SAC funding. While the university plans to charge each student $55 in fees this fall for the SAC, it presently has no authority to do so. According to sources in the UNC General Administration, unless the state �y V The Appalachian THe^ Aprif ?f1 ^ Letters But have you been told you might nol have to pay? No! Combinethis with recent statements by our legislators that it is unlikely that we will get state funds for the SAC this year and you begin to wonder what's going on.
