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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A '"rain is steadily pouring on this Sep.r morning. Justin has been up about 30 minand has made it to the Ranger Chalpractice. Today is Friday, and that it's time for the ruck run. Normally, ^ears his batde dress uniform to the ce, but today, he decided to wear and a t-shirt. Justin has on his ruck "and equipment and is carrying his e is iauae cadet on his back. "Maybe nowI can run with­ out having to worry about losing my shorts," he thought. Justin and the cadets continue to run and arrive back at B.B. Dougherty. Justin reaches back to his equipment to get his shorts, and they aren't there. To his horror, Justin has lost his shorts some­ where on the streets of Boone. Justin Redfern, a sophomore from Salisbury, is an ROTC student at Appala­ chian State University with one less pair of shorts. Redfern has had several mishaps like this happen to him, but it all comes iy M-16. with the territory. Being in ROTC has Justin and the other cadets have given him opportunities to do things he ed their run around the town of only dreamed of. ffle. The rain seems to keep coming Redfern said ROTC is a program Ti harder and doesn't seem to want to designed to give students the opportunity up. Justin starts to feel his shorts slid- to become lieutenants in the Army when slowly off him. He has on spandex they graduate. ,r his shorts, and combined with the Cadets train in order to attend 'gravity doesn't seem to be onhis side. Advance Camp in Washington after their "These shorts are so wet, I've junior year of college. Advance Camp is take 'em off," Justin thought. "I'm where cadets go to be graded on their per­ no one but my teammates are up to formance. This is the only required train­ this." He manages to get the shorts ing outside of the ASU battalion. and attaches them to his equipment Redfern said the scores cadets re­ ceive at Advance Camp help determine whether cadets will become lieu­ tenants when they graduate. Most cadets do become lieutenants, whether it is being placed on active duty, national guard or re­ serve. He said that ROTC expects a lot out of a person, but it is very worthwhile. It requires a lot of obligation, dedi­ cation and responsibil­ ity. Redfern first learned of the ROTC program at Appalachian through his brother, a May graduate of the ASU ROTC program. His family has no prob­ lems with Redfern and his brother both being in the military. "My family is real supportive. They've always been supportive. They've always backed me up no matter what dflt King goes through the Jump Tower at I've done," Redfern said. 'ft Bragg. ROTC cadet T.J. Witlow goes through the Leadership Reaction Course at Fort Bragg (all photos provided by the Military Science Department). Redfern has a three-year scholar­ ship and is contracted. Being contracted basically means that a cadet wants to be a lieutenant and will put forth the effort necessary to be one. He made the committment to stay in the ROTC program after his freshman year and thus became contracted. Some cadets are not con­ tracted. Once they reach their junior year, they have to be contracted to continue in the ROTC program. Even thoughROTC demands a lot of his time, Redfern feels that being a stu­ dent comes first. 'Always, grades come first. That's drilled to you everyday. If you're not do­ ing well in school, then it's not worth your while to be a cadet, because it doesn't help you out when you become a lieutenant," Redfern said. Grades are important in ROTC, and Redfern said that cadets do feel pres­ sure to do well in school. "They minimize your participa­ tion if you fail a class, in order to keep your grades up," Redfern said. Appalachian is typically a school comprised of students that don't look fa­ vorably on the military. Redfern doesn't let that bother him or affect his decisions. "I look atit in the grander scheme of things. Someday I'll be serving in the Army, and I must take that as a profes­ sional responsibility first. What other people think just wants me to be more proud and puff out my chest a little more," Redfern said. Redfern hopes that students don't look at ROTC negatively. If so, he wants students to look at it from all sides, with an educated thought process, taking in the whole picture, to see that ROTC is a part of Appalachian's diversity. Redfern feels that the best way to show students that Army people aren't all that bad is to be a representative. "Two days a week, I get in my uniform andI am an Army cadet. That's what I am. The other five days a week, I'm a college student just like they are," Redfern said. Even though Redfern considers him­ self the typical college student, one thing is slightly different—his morning schedule. has lab from noon to 3 p.m. at State Farm to train in military tactics. Besides being a full-time student and an ROTC cadet, Redfern does find time for extracurricular activities. He is involved in a club through ROTC called Commandos and just went through train­ ing that qualified him as a commando. This club requires a year of training in see ROTC page 7 Monday, Wednesday and Friday, at 6 a.m., ROTC cadets have RT. exercise, oth­ erwise known as physi­ cal training. Redfern usually rises out of bed at the brisk hour of 5:30 a.m. to report to the Quinn at 6 a.m. Once he arrives there, he has to do sit-ups, push-ups and a typical three-mile run, until the clock strikes 7 a.m. On Thursdays, Redfern ROTC cadets in the morning physical training in the Quinn Center.

From the first day of classes to October, the ca­ dets train daily from 6-7:30 a.m. Several weeks into the training, the cadets go back to the regular physical training schedule and use Tuesdays and Thursdays for practicing events for the Ranger Challenge. The events consist of a timed weapons assembly, rope bridge, grenade assault test, physi­ cal training test, marksmanship, land navigation and a written test. The last and hardest event is a 10K road march in which the cadets has accomplished a lot of things. Most recent was the Pershing Rifle Team becoming the 1998 National Champions. The battalion as a whole has been rated one of the best in the country. Redfem feels that ROTC is an exceptional pro­ gram that makes you work for a lot. When he graduates, Redfem plans to stay in the mili­ tary but doesn't know if he will make a career out of the military. "My goal is to be in the FBI. I'd like to deal with search­ ing for lost persons," Redfem said. Redfern's attitude is that if he has to one day give his life for his country, so be it. It's his job. He makes it through all the training, all the classes and all the activities by keeping his ulti­ mate goal in mind. No regrets, no turning back. have to carry gear on their back and a dummy M-16 and run 6.2 miles. Redfern said ROTC has taught and given him a lot since being init. "I've gained a good sense of discipline and responsibility. I've got a lot of good friends I've made through the ROTC program. It's almost like a brotherhood, even though women are encouraged to be a part of ROTC," Redfem said. Women do make up a sig­ nificant percentage of the ROTC program at ASU, and Redfern thinks that is a good thing. "The military has to move on just like everyone else does and evolve. Women are playing a greater role in society as a whole, and it's just natural for them to spread their influence to the mili­ tary," Redfem said.

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

But many stupid nit-picking rules that take the For so many high-caliber players to be avoidng college, there has to be a problem with the game. The NCAA has proved for years that they cared little for the players and fans alike and are more concerned about lining their own purses.

Other com­ petition in the meet included Liberty, UNC-Asheville, Bucknell, NC State, Campbell, Livingstone, Charleston Southern and Davidson. However good the start was, Weaver is still looking for the squads to im­ prove. "We will be looking to im­ prove and hopefully get the weather to co­ operate and give us some time outside before the summer comes," Weaver said. ijorE® Sports Briefs Women's Tennis is 4-5 so far this spring. The first two wins came against Walsh Col­ lege by the score of 8-1 and over Wingate 5-4 in the first days of March. After enduring a three-match losing streak where they dropped matches against Charleston Southern, Xavier and Georgia Southern, The women snapped out of it with a 8-1 win over Detroit Mercy and a 9-0 win over Morehead State. Over the week­ end, the Apps dropped a contest to UNC- Greensboro 9-0. Three players lead the way for the tennis squads with personal records of 5-4 this spring in­ cluding Vannessa Manicom, Summer Scruggs and Jen­ nifer Webb.

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

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

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

Atkins asked Lee and Man­ ning how their platform serves to unite the entire campus. Lee-Manning replied that safety is a concern of all people, and that everyone working to im­ prove safety will unite the campus. The floor was then opened to audience members who asked questions concerning the weather policy, beautification of the cam­ pus, expansion of Mountaineer Es­ cort, Affirmative Action on campus for minorities, and Academic In­ tegrity. At the end of the debate, the candidates were given an oppor­ tunity to give closing statements. Lee said, "If I am elected, I will do what I can to make ASU a better place." Manning also said that if anyone has questions, feel free to come see him or Lee. Meister said that students should get out and vote. Partici­ pation needs to be increased here at ASU, he said.

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

Pershing Rifles have helped me to build that confi­ dence and I think it will help these in the team to build that confidence too. What the team did in competition and what we've done all year long is not easy to do," if you don't have confidence and trust in your partners and in your team," Calderon said. An example of that trust is dem­ onstrated in competition when the team has to throw the 10-pound rifles to other members in the team without looking. Calderon does want to be in the Army when he graduates. He already had been placed on active duty and has to re­ port to Oklahoma in October. "Everything that I've done, every sweat, every blood drop, every bit of pain has been to come back," he said. I've had more honors and more things that I'll never forget since being in the Pershing Rifles and this ROTC," Calderon said. Some of those honors for Calderon have been commanding the Veteran's Day Flag Raising Ceremony and the color guard at a Panthers football game this year. He said ROTC has given him opportunities he has only dreamed about. Calderon feels that Appalachian does not fully support and back the ROTC program here, but thinks things are slowly improving. "I feel the student body as a whole has a misunderstanding of ROTC, and the school is slowly working with ROTC for recognizing us," Calderon said. "We fight and defend the nation, the Army, as a whole for everybody. For the people who want to spite us, for people who want to do whatever." He said it takes a lot of dedica­ tion to wake up and run three or four miles at 6 a.m., do hundreds of push-ups, go to class, and participate in extracurricular activites such as the Pershing Rifles.

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

This Referendum is to implement an Academic Honor Pledge into ASU's system. Depending on the outcome of the vote, an Academic Honor Code will be implemented next academic year. The code defines academic dishonesty at ASU. The University's current system of dealing with academic dishonesty on campus has not been effective in the past. Consequences of breaking the code have not been determined at this time. SGA supports the Academic Honor Code, as well as the administration. There will be a copy of the Academic Honor Pledge at the voting tables on March 18 and 19. We encourage everyone to come out and vote.

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

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

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

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

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

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

If someone has a child in this country and does not send the child to school, the parent is ar­ rested and the child is taken. The government wants children. Or more accurately, the government is hell-bent on wasting children's time.Ikeep seeing these billboards that say, "NO EDUCATION = NO iJstli FUTURE." This means, "If you have no education, your life is pointless, and you are worthless. You might as well not even have a future, just kill yourself now." School is not the meaning of life. There are tons of suicides every year, most of them by educated people. Wonder what they learned in school? It's true that schools ••• •• v • •> -">• produce doctors and lawyers, but they also produce drug dealers, thieves and racists. School is not the only way to make a life for yourself. True wisdom is never taught in school. This country has become a factory which makes kids that are all alike. They all know the same stupid facts, and they all know nothing. Each year of public school is spent undoing the damage of the previ­ ous year. I was taught in kinder­ garten to spell words like they sound. They actually marked it wrong whenI spelled it right. But in first grade, it was marked wrong if I spelled it the way it sounded. We were taught Columbus discov­ ered America. Later we were taught he didn't really discover America, but some crappy little is­ land, and nobody even knows which one. In high school, you can't use profanity. In college, my professors use profanity. Sex edu­ cation—that's a hoot. If anything, the kids should teach the adults. Think about it. How about this: Don't tell the kids a damn thing.

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

It's not that easy m this southern land of buf­ falo wings and barbecue wings to find a wing with some real punch. Caribbean, in my book, does have the best and the hottest wings. They aren't all like the "re­ lease form" wings, however. The scorching and scorching squared wings get my vote for the most punch with the best taste.

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

Finally, with two minutes left and iwd on its feet, Tyson Patterson hit ;e throws and cut the Cats' lead to len Phillips had a steal and passed Idown court to Patterson, who was fouled on his layup. The sophomore out of nearby Winston-Salem hit his free throw and made it a whole new ball game with i-l/ to go and the score 61-58, Davidson. But tournament MVP Ben Ebong quickly doused the Mountaineers flame of hope on the next posession, when he hit an inside jumper with 51 ticks left, that made it a five-point game and forced Ap­ palachian into the hopeless fouling game. When it was all over, the Wildcats did what they had been picked to do by the conference media and the coaches in the preseason: go to their first big dance probably that instead of squabbling over petty issues such as basketballs or vying for seedings, these two teams had their seasons on the line. In fact, both coaches were very complimentary of each other for the first time all season after the game. "(Appalachian Coach) Buzz Peterson andI, despite what people might try to conjecture from the basketball inci­ dent with Nike and Wilson or whatever, Buzz Peterson andIare great friends and have great repsect for each other," said Wildcat Coach Bob McKillop, who has earned his first trip to the NCAA Tournament in nine years at Davidson. "I think the fact that his team and our team mirror each other in many ways and that we're as competitive as we are, I think that's indicative that this will be a terrific rivalry for many years," added McKillop. "My hat goes off to Davidson," said Peterson.'They'll do a good job of representing the Southern Conference in the NCAA Tour­ nament." Appalachian, which finished its season with a 21-8 record, their best since the 1978-79 NCAA appearance season, and an RPI ranking of 112, failed to im­ press the NIT selection committee enough to win a bid in their tournament. After the Davidson loss, Peterson said that the team would be more than happy to play in the NIT, and McKillop actually endorsed the Mountaineers. To get to the final, Davidson had to stave off upstart Georgia Southern, who Appalachian fans will recall almost beat the Mountaineers back in January, and then take care of The Citadel. The Moun- "Buzz Peterson and I are great friends and have great repsect for each other.' jj Davidson Coach Bob McKillop since 1986. Ebong, along with being honored as the tournament MVP was a first-team member of the all-conference team, along with teammates Stephen Marshall and Donelly. Phillips and Kareem Livingston of Appalachian took the other two spots on the first team. Patterson was named to the second team along with his Davidson counterpart at po'int guard, Ali Ton. Despite the fact that it was played in the cavernous Coliseum, which is hard to fill for non-ACC events, AppalachianDavidson III had a much more electric feel to it than the first two meetings between these bitter rivals. The reason for that was Marshall Phillips finished with 17 points and 12 rebounds against Davidson in the season finally (photo by Justin Griffin) taineers will now look to the future and try to figure out how to replace seniors Kareem Livingston, Tige Darner and Clint Crosston, who contributed greatly to the team in their four years. Peterson has already signed three recruits for next season and sheduled some big games with teams such as North Carolina, Georgia, Minnesota and UNCCharlotte. ady Apps end season with a loss to Davidson omasson A dismal first half of play on be- half of ASU proved to be the difference in the contest. Davidson quickly jumped out to an 11-4 advantage three minutes into the game. However, Appalachian scored five straight points in the next minute of action to close to within two. Davidson answered back with a 13-5 run over a seven-minute stretch and picked up their first double-digit lead at 24-14 with 9:12 to go in the first half. The Mountaineers were only able to cut the lead under 10 once more after a Tiffany Chappell bucket with 8:12 left in the half, to make the score 25-16. From that point on, Davidson never looked back, as they went on a 16-6 run to finish the half with a 19-point halftime advantage at 41-22. The Lady Wildcats had the hot hand from the field in the first half, con­ necting on 54 percent of their shots in­ cluding 8-for-12 from three-point land. Appalachian was only able to hit 29 per­ cent from the field and one of six from behind the arc. "We didn't execute well in the first half," said ASU Head Coach Barbie Breedlove. ASU could only get as close as 12 points, as they outscored Davidson by three in the second half, 41-38. "Our lack of execution and their excellent execution in the first half caused a deficit we couldn't overcome," Breedlove said. "We got way behind and we tried to play on emotion. When you do that, you find yourself in a hole," said Breedlove. The Mountaineers were led by sophomore Noel Dolan with 14 points, hitting five of 16 from the field. Fresh­ man Natasha Lettsome came off the bench to score 13 and snag 10 boards. Another freshman, Jamie Gagliano had 11 points and 8 rebounds. The other player in double figures was Chappell with 10. A big letdown in the offensive category for the Mountaineers was lead­ ing scorer Beth Schoolfield. The Greens­ boro native only hit three of her 15 at­ tempts and had her lowest scoring out­ put of the season at six points. However, Schoolfield was able to grab nine re­ bounds. Lone Mountaineer senior Rachel Olander finished with six points in her fi­ nal collegiate contest on three of seven shooting. One bright spot for Appalachian was their lack of turnovers. Throughout the season, Coach Breedlove has said it was the team's goal to get the turnovers under 15, and on this Friday night, they did. The Mountaineers committed a season-low 13 turnovers. Aside from O'Brien's 25 point to­ tal, Davidson had two other players to score in double figures. Jennie Vanlerberghe had12 and Jennifer Sanborn chipped in 10. "We gave a fantastic team effort tonight," said Davidson Head Coach John Filar."We came out on fire and didn't stop shooting all game," he added. Appalachian concluded their sea­ son at 9-17, with a sixth place finish in the Southern Conference. The finish was one spot better than the Mountaineers were picked by the media overall. However, the season mark was the worst for the Mountaineers since the 1991-92 campaign where they finished at 9-18. The Lady Wildcats finished their season in the semifinals of the tournament with a loss to eventual champion, UNCGreensboro. Davidson went 18-9. pants. Writer The Appalachian State Lady lineers' season came to an abrupt iion as they fell in the quarterfinal )f the Southern Conference Tourt to Davidson, 79-63.

This team lost in the play-in game of the ACC Tournament, lost seven of its last nine games and lost 10 conference games. Whatever happened to the days when the NCAA selection committee ex­ pected a team to finish with at least an made it into the tournament off of the strength of wins over Connecticut and Arizona. Unfortunately, it looks like the Seminoles have won little since. ing against Division I opponents. However, the committee did make some good decisions. Giving De­ troit the at-large bid was the right thing to do, and will only enhance the first round match-ups with an upset over St. Johns. Perhaps Utah shouldn't have dropped down to a three seed after their loss to UNLY but the drop at least makes sense. Princeton, who will be facing UNLV in the first round, picked up a number five seed for their highest tour­ nament seedings ever. Personally, I thought Princeton would pick up a four or a three, but I understand why Princeton picked up the five. Ivy League competition is not really all that impressive. IT SEEMS, going into the tour­ nament, that the strongest overall con­ ference is the Southeastern Conference. Of course, the ACC has Duke and Caro­ lina, who could have breezed through SEC competition, but after Duke and Carolina, the drop-off in talent is incredible. Florida State and Clemson, in all likelihood won't make it past the second round, while it seems that Ole Miss, Kentucky and South Carolina will most definitely make the round of 16. It also seems that the SEC has five teams that actually belong in the tourna­ ment. No one can rightfully say that any SEC team in the tournament should not be there. )enied Justin Griffin Sports Editor Never mind Penn State's inferior rating in many of the top independent RPI ratings. Penn State's highest ranking was at 120 while their lowest ranking was 124. Appalachian's lowest ranking was 112, while their highest ranking was 108.

For those of "Apparently NIT officials saw Penn State's Big Ten affilliation and col­ lectively wet their pants." does Rider have to go to Penn State for the first round game to play a team that is nearly 10 spots worse than they are? Does this mean that if Ap­ palachian State would have made the field of 32 for the NIT, the game would have been played at Varsity Gym? From the outset, it seemed clear that the NIT wasn't going to take a team with an RPI lower than 96 after last year's showing. Before the pairings were re­ leased, it also seemed that ASU's 112 rank­ ing was too low. Maybe Appalachian's ranking wasn't low enough. THINK THE PARODY stops with the NIT? Take a closer look at the even record in conference play and to fin­ ish the season winning most of its games? Wake Forest and Georgia Tech have no business in the NCAA Tourna­ ment, but if the committee lets Florida State in, the door should be open for Geor­ gia Tech and Wake. Was it the scheduling that kept these teams out? Wake played the second tough­ est conference schedule in the nation, and it looks like they shot themselves in the foot. Georgia Tech also played a formi­ dable off-season schedule. For Florida State, it looks like they you who have read this far and don't know much about Prairie View, let me inform you. Prairie View has the lowest RPI rat­ ing of any team to ever make the NCAAs, with a rating of 263. ESPN has made Prairie View the topic of many features about their losing streaks, which have reached epic propor­ tions in football and basketball.

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

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

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

'lure to consider the demands of the av- f 01 Once upon a time, there was a leader of a na­ tion that broke insignificant laws. And the world watched him in silence. This leader broke nonaggression pacts and invaded other countries. And the world watched in silence. World powers practiced appeasement in their dealings with this leader and et him take one nation after another; they thought that by allowing him to do so he would be satisfied with a few pieces of territory. He made raids on his own people and everyone was afraid of the ominous knock on the door that came in the middle of the night. It wasn't until the invasion of Poland that the world woke up and took action. Thus is the story of Adolf Hitler's litde role in World War II. I have always been taught that we learn from our mistakes. Even though the United States can be considered "the school bully waiting for challengers on the playground" (The Appalachian, Feb. 17), we must look at our past mistakes in order to deal with current situations. We closed our eyes to Hilter; we can no longer close our eyes to world dictators who threaten not only their own populations but also the world in general. Saddam Hussein has been a challenger on the world playground for too long. Why wait until he breaks even greater world laws to set him straight? We are one of the few world powers who can step in ^PPalachian is published every Tliesday and the academic year with the exception of •^holidays and breaks. .

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

Let's say I ask you to strangle yourself. How about taking some money out of the bank and setting it on fire? Sound like fun? Why don't you torture yourself? Make it as slow and pain­ ful as possible. Feel like killing yourself? No? Let's have a cigarette while we think about it. The truth is, smoking is sui­ cide. And if you just think about it, that's already illegal in this country. Ciga­ rettes, when used as directed, kill. So they, like automatic weapons, should never be used on anyone. Smoking is illegal, for some people. As­ sault is also illegal, and since secondhand smoke hurts people, anyone who smokes in public is conceivably committing assault. Thus, they are breaking the law twice. to do is not stab yourself in the groin. Why do I even have to say it? Did you take a good look inside your­ self and see something so awful, so worthless, that not only are you hell-bent on killing your body, but you're willing to pay to torture it. You know yourself better than anyone else. If you want to kill yourself, don't let me stand in your way. Hey, all you attractive, fine, smoking babes on campus? Tell 'em what they've won, Jerry. Well, you're in luck. My grand­ mother died last Monday. She was a lifelong smoker, so ladies, I know exactly where you're headed. Her body could no longer supply oxygen to her legs; they swelled up and died, but not before her feet turned black. Cancer swelled out of her neck as well as out of her stomach and from under one of her arms. There were wounds on her face from the radiation used to fight the cancer. Then one of her arms died The problem with smoking is that it is still socially acceptable. It never ceases to amaze me how simply re­ phrasing a concept completely changes the way people feel about it. Accuse a parent of caring more about a car than a child and he or she will reply that nothing could be further from the truth. Of course, the child means more than the car. If a total stranger walked up to this parent and asked to borrow the car, the parent would refuse. But let's say the child has been hanging out with Timmy for a while and asks if he or she can spend the night at Timmy's house. The parent, without ever meeting the parents of their child's friend, will allow the kid to go spend the night with total strangers. Strangers can borrow your kids, but not your car.

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

Like it or not, you're saying, "1 don't give a crap about people with lung can­ cer. Pain is a big fat joke to me." You're laughing at death and dis­ ease. Not only that, you stink. That's right.

The problem with smok­ ing is that it is still socially accept­ able. This is because of how its phrased. "Smoking." Sounds de­ ceivingly friendly. If it were called "yellowing the teeth" or "being a big idiot," it would no longer be socially acceptable. Young people donT smoke because of that stu­ pid camel.

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

The Watauga High graduate said "I don't think it's me, it's TJ Thomasson Apps to face Furman in SC Tournamen Justin Griffin Sports Editor This year's Southern Conference tourna­ ment seems to be as full of intrigue as any in years past. The North Division of the conference has had two distinct leaders (Appalachian and Davidson), while the South Division has had par­ ity to its credit. Chattanooga clinched the South Division crown and a first seed in the tournament with a 7-7 record and will play in the 7 p.m. game before ASU's showdown with Furman. Appalachian defeated Furman earlier in the season in Greenville for the first time in 11 years by a score of 63-62. "Furman gave us a great game down there," Appalachian State Coach Buzz Peterson said. 'They've got a great player in Chuck Vincent." "You could say we were lucky to come out of there with a win," Blair Adderley said of the earlier game. Adderley went on to say, "We're not really going to prepare too much for Furman, We're just going to come out and play our game." As close as the score with Furman was, the Mountaineers had their chances to put Furman away, but were unable to because of lackluster free throw shooting in the closing minutes of the game. Lady Mountaineers will square off against Davidson in tournament TJ Thomasson Staff Writer The Appalachian State Women's Basketball team is gearing up for the Southern Conference Tournament in Greensboro this weekend. The Mountaineers will play the Davidson Lady Wildcats for the second time in six days Friday night. The sixthseeded Mountaineers will be going after their sixth Southern Conference Tourna­ ment title. The Mountaineers were knocked out in the semifinal round of the tourna­ ment last year by the eventual champion, Marshall. Davidson lost in the first round to runner-up Georgia Southern last year. The big favorite heading to Greensboro is Georgia Southern, who lost in last year's final, 77-69. The Lady Eagles are the top seed and will meet either Wofford or Chattanooga. They would like to avoid history repeating itself. Last year, Furman was the top seed and got beat in the first round by East Tennessee State. The early advantage in the tour­ nament has to go to UNC-Greensboro. They have the somewhat unfair home court advantage with a quarterfinal game in their own Fleming Gym. They are seeded second and are set to host seventh seeded, Western Carolina. In the other quarterfinal match on Friday, Furman will meet East Tennessee State. The scene will then shift to the Greensboro Coliseum on Saturday and Sunday for the semifinals and champion­ ship games. Appalachian has an overall 16-9 conference tournament record, but they have only played Davidson once in the 13 years of the tournament. In 1996, the Mountaineers beat Davidson in the semi­ finals, 83-68. ASU's record in Greensboro is 21, with their lone loss coming last year from Marshall. Appalachian stands 6-3 in first round games and haven't been sent home after just one game since 1993 when they fell to Georgia Southern 66-56. If Appalachian can survive Davidson, they play the winner of UNCGreensboro and Western Carolina. This is the Lady Spartans first ever tournament appearance. ASU stands 2-1 against the Lady Catamounts in tournament play and are 1-0 in their only semifinal matchup: ASU 86 WCU 66 in 1987. Appalachian is 5-1 in Southern Conference Championship games with their only loss coming in 1986, when they fell to Chattanooga, 86-79. The Mountaineers en­ ter their matchup with Davidson on a four-game los­ ing streak. The last time ASU had a four-game losing streak, they ended it by beating the Lady Wildcats, and they will look to repeat that perfor­ mance this Friday night. Appalachian Head Coach Barbie Breedlove said, "I like our chances against Davidson on a neutral floor. We're going to go to Greens­ boro and create some havoc." Tip-off is set for 8:30 p.m. in Fleming Gym for Davidson and Appalachian. The two teams split the season series, with both teams win­ ning at home. ASU leads the overall series 8-3, but the Lady Wild­ cats have captured three of the last four meetings. Davidson has never won the Southern Conference Tournament. The Mountaineers went 8-18 from the ia against the Paladins. As of late however, ASU has man: improve free throw shooting. Against Greensboro Saturday night, the Mountain 18 of 22 from the stripe. However, despite the parity in th< ets, Appalachian could benefit from being ber two seed in the conference. The Ma eers have defeated all the teams in their I while Davidson has lost to two of the ti their bracket, VMI and The Citadel. The difference between the num and two seeds in the tournament meant nine-hour difference for the Mountaineers ing times. Davidson, who picked up the one seed, will play their first game at noot day while ASU will pick up their first game p.m. later that night. "I guess its just the luck of the dra Darner said. "There's not much you can d it." Davidson, who is arguably one deepest teams in the conference, will have , to rest, nearly a day. Appalachian will end a little over 15 hours to rest.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The position for director became available, so Burgin was encouraged to apply by peers, and she received the job.

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

Matthew Lutz ASU Box 11097 More Bela backlash To the Editor: Congratulations to ASU for acquiring the fine band Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. Anyone who did not see the sold-out show missed a fantastic musical experience.Iwas, however, irritated to find that, at one point in the performance, the front row was overcome by so-called dancers. These people thought nothing of running to the front of the auditorium and blocking the view of those who took the initiative to purchase their tickets early. This is a cheap move to obtain an up-front view of the band, not to mention flat-out selfish. Thank you, security personnel, for moving these people to the side aisles. As a performer,Ienjoy seeing people respond to my music, and dancing is a very sincere form of flattery. But where are these people's principles? They must realize they block the view of others by taking such an inconsiderate stance. I hope Far­ thing Auditorium's policy will remain as demon­ strated by that performance.

So one day, after my weekly anxiety attack abated,I decided to communicate via e-mail with my long-time friend Justin Oxman. When I checked my messages the next day, I was beset with such riotous par­ oxysms of gleeful laughter that I knew, beyond a doubt, that the people I call my friends are the epitome of boisterous mirth. Let me give the reply I received in re­ sponse to my query for counsel. It contains some useful (and not so useful) ideas that will help anyone who is strapped for cash. Justin Oxman's E-mail to Andrew Greenberg: Here are possible solutionsto all of your problems. 1. Suicide (should be used as a last option only). 2. Good job opportunities can be found through the school. Yes, I know you hate it, and you disagree entirely with the idea of supporting the aforementioned in­ stitution, but think of it like this: any job you take in Boone will be at least indirectly supporting the university, so you might as well just go ahead and get a job. Reasons for working for the school are good: employers support them­ selves and understand the whole homework/class phenomenon. Therefore, they are unbelievably flexible with your schedule. You would most likely be allowed to work as little or as much as you want. The pay will probably be bad. But getting in good with ad­ ministrators/librarians/sports teams/etc., is never a bad thing. You would also be very close to work, and usually the jobs are very easy and provide you with ample time to do homework while get­ ting paid. 3. You can save money eas­ ily by not spending it. Do not, un­ der any circumstances, go out to eat. That is the easiest way to save unreal amounts of money. Buy food at the grocery store and cook it for yourself. Make your girlfriend or roommate pay for everything. And if you really need cash, you can talk to me about possible swin­ dling opportunities**, or you can talk to Steve ahout "legitimate" business opportunities. **Note: Swindling opportu­ nities are almost always illegal, im­ moral, and incredibly successful. "Legitimate" business opportuni­ ties via Steve are questionably le­ gal (for the time being) and good plans for the future. 4. The key to making lots of money is to be efficient, so try and make money doing the things that you would normally do anyway. For example, some classes post dis­ cussion notes online or print them in the form of a course pack. See about getting a job doing those things and you'll make money without wasting valuable time. Example 2: If you go to the gym three times a week, see about a job cleaning equipment in the gym. You go to work. Work out. Clean up after yourself. Get paid. Go home. Example 3: Volunteer for psychology experiments (but un­ der no circumstances should you allow yourself to be shocked, the experimenters always get carried away). These things are extremely easy. You will usually get paid for a block of time, say one hour, and . . fnr onlv 45 being tested for only 45 end up minutes. 5 Donate blood, plasma, kidney(s), ovary(ies), sperm, etc. In most cases, you Sfcor^eftacdo^ these fluids or organs for healthy life and could generate substantial income with die extra. Plus, you're guaranteed to lose weight. 6. Get really good at some meaningless activity and gamble with people. Challenge people to see who can do more pushups in a minute. Get a good workout, take their money and laugh at their puny, weak, wretched bodies (Un­ der no circumstances should you make any bets with creatures of the nether regions.Iknow they re putting up a lot of money to your seemingly worthless soul, but they will find a way to beat you). 7.

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

The highlight here is the conveyor belt thing which can be ridden for free. Directly below the cafeteria is the sub shop, which can be quite good depend­ ing on the slimy factor of the to­ matoes and lettuce. Next door to that is the pizza place, though they don't really sell pizza, but a repugnant gruel known to the students as "gfoonk." There are also three food services located in the student union. The first is the Gold Room. No one who has ever come out of the Gold Room has come out alive, soI figure there must be a lot of unsuccessful sui­ cide counselors in there. The sec­ ond choice in the student union absolutely will not serve me al­ coholic beverages no matter how much I beg them, so I will only say that they put together a mighty mean wiener, chili op­ tional.

They got off to a rough start with a 10-2 loss three weeks ago, but have started to put things to­ gether since then. In the last two weeks, they have lost two squeakers, 5-4 and 43. Of course, the team would like to get a shot at some of the other university clubs around the state, but they are hav­ ing some trouble lining up games, because most other teams set their schedules at the beginning of the school year. Weidert says that their best hope is to play a couple of games against Wake Forest some time toward the end of March. Although the team has yet to notch its first win, Weidert is pleased with what he has seen so far. Weidert says, "We're pretty much learning each other's style. We're only going to get better. There's no question about that. It's just a matter of time be­ fore we stan gelling." as McGill provides the team with solid defense and a lot of heart. Confident that the wins will come, Weidert is also thinking about the larger issue of the future of ice hockey at ASU. He explains, "The thing that we've got to work on now is getting that solid foundation down and making sure that the team continues on after us." To that end, Weidert encourages anyone interested in playing with the team, or in coming out to support the team, to call him at 265-1117. Practice is finally over. It's past 11 p.m. The exhausted skaters sprawl out on the benches in the cold, dingy locker room. Almost nothing is said, as the 13 weary souls are numbed into an odd si­ lence by their labors, especially the last 20 minutes of full-ice three-on-threes and that final round of sprints. But even if nobody mentions it, a certain satisfaction fills the room. You can see it on the sweat-streaked faces, in the way the guys linger for a moment before changing back into their street clothes. It will be after midnight by the time they get back to Boone. And then some will have to study for tests that are only a few hours away. But they all know it. It's hockey. It's worth it. -orwards Josh Mazur (with puck) and Jay Bohac (far left) head the ice on a breakaway. �The Appalachlan Page 8 The weather outside is frightful: But the is 0 7 k i i n a < so delightful Aimee Yawn Staff Writer By now, most of you are, more than likely, getting sick of all that white stuff.

"My freshman year,I took the skiing class for RE. credit," says Rebecca G. Deming, a senior from Maitland, Fla. "It was really an experience, sometimes a blast and sometimes a pain," says Deming. If you have not tried skiing, then Appala­ chian Ski Mountain is an ideal place to learn. It caters to beginners and is home to the French-Swiss Ski College.

"I told the kids tonight that not one of them had played in ijgame this big," Appalachian Coach Buzz Peterson said, referEingto tonight's game with Davidson, after his team's 60-53 win jjver The Citadel in Charleston, S.C.

It seems to me that if people haven't recognized our team •already, now is the perfect time to start. A win over Davidson will L doubt propel Appalachian to a Southern Conference TournaIW Championship and an NCAA tournament berth. There is a changing of the guard in the Southern Confer•oce. Davidson has won the North Division (or a share of it) for likepast three years. Now Appalachian is posturing to knock them m their pedastal. In the pre-season media roundup, all the sportswriters who IE | ;r the Southern Conference, except The Appalachian's TJ j masson, voted Davidson to finish atop the Division- giving •iDavidson 31 of 32 votes. TJ knew something, and the Mountaineers ignored the . - ar writers, as they have reeled off 12 conference wins and are J ' winposition to compete for the regular season title. Jgg, The atmostphere at Davidson is described at best as hojfta. Every stereotype about rich white people that has ever been I'aomintered seems to stick at Davidson. If Davidson wins, the fans will walk out and go to a wine Vising afterward. If Davidson loses, the same will take place. | Nothing would beat having a band of raging Appalachian >take the homecourt advantage away from Davidson and their j Vne and cheese crowd." Such a game deserves an injection of excitement. This pe means so pitifully little to the students and faculty at J"on. So walk, carpool, whatever. Get to Davidson tonight.

Mountaineers downed The Citadel 60-53 Monday to bring their Southern Conference to 12-1 u ^ Meanwhile, the Wildcats improved to a 11-2 conference record by clobbering Virginia Military 90-66. Each team finishes its regular season with games on Saturday, Feb. 21. An win at Davidson would all but clinch a Southern Conference regular season title for the Mountaineers. A victory for the Wildcats would likely make the Mountaineers conference runners-up. Appalachian Senior Tige Darner netted 15 points against Davidson on January J "f " Phillips, Kareem Livingston, a n d Matt McMahon each posted double figures.

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

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

With seven minutes left in the first half, Appala­ chian went up 30-20 on the strength of an Adderley free throw. Appalachian's lead grew to a 46-31 advantage at half time. Balanced scoring was a key for the Mountain­ eers, who had four players in double digits. Livingston led the pack with 15 points. Phillips recorded his fifth double double of the year with 12 points and 11 re­ bounds. Darner finished with 12 points and Adderley chipped in 10 points. Patterson added eight points and eight assists Thursday night, Ap­ palachian will travel to Davidson to make up a game that was postponed due to the blizzard in late January. Appalachian lost the last out­ ing against Davidson 77-71. Neither team has lost since the game. Tyler Terrence Tyler came off the bench to lead Appalachian in scoring Satur­ day with 21 points (photo by Richard Thomas) fall to Furman /H»masson 'liter Appalachian State lost to Furman * third time in a row and the second his season as the Lady Paladins won Mory Saturday afternoon in Var- 728, saw the Mountaineers' defense fall apart as Furman shot 55 percent from the field and scored 46 second half points af­ ter Appalachian had held a 27-21 halftime advantage. "I'm not happy, I'm very disap­ pointed. It's really ridiculous," said Appalachian's Head Coach Barbie Breedlove. Appalachian entered the game with the best scoring defense in the South­ ern Conference (62.7 points a game), and demonstrated their defensive dominance the Mountaineers early in the contest. Furman made only two field goals in the first 10:33 of the game as the Mountain­ eers grabbed a 14-5 advantage. The Mountaineersstarted the sec­ ond half with a pair of buckets from jun­ ior Beth Schoolfield as ASU jumped out to a 31-21 lead just 1:35 into the second half. Furman responded to the Appa­ lachian start with eight straight points to cut the margin to two with 16:43 remain­ ing. The Mountaineers were able to keep the advantage until the Lady Paladins' Heidi White hit a bucket to put Furman up to stay at 34-33 with 11:55 to go in the contest. The Lady Paladins displayed their killer instinct as they put Appalachian away with a devastating 21-2 run to put themselves up by 18 at 55-37 with under six minutes to play. "We weren't tough today. Furman just wanted it more. We didn't play with confidence," said Breedlove. She also said the Mountaineers weren't focused in the second half. The loss drops ASU to 9-14 on the season and 8-6 in conference play. The Mountaineers remain in fifth place with a week to go in the regular season. "We must find our toughness. We don't have enough talent or depth to be successful without toughness," said Breedlove. Schoolfield was the lone Moun­ taineer in double figures with 22 points. Sophomore guard Noel Dolan, who had scored in double digits in seven straight, struggled from behind the arc. She was only able to connect on one of six three point attempts. Freshman forward Jamie Gagliano, who is the tenth best rebounder in the league, snagged 12 boards. Appalachian shot 32 percent from the field and was three of 15 from threepoint range, but it was their defensive col­ lapse in the second that cost them the game. The Mountaineers also hurt them­ selves again by committing 14 turnovers in the second half, twice as many as they had in the first half of play. It was only the fourth time in conference play this season that ASU was out-rebounded as Furman grabbed 42 boards to the Moun­ taineers 37. The preseason media pick for first place, Furman now stands at 14-11 over­ all, 10-4 and in third place. The Lady Pala­ dins were led by three time conference player of the week, Jackie Smith. Smith registered a Lady Paladin record fifteenth double-double of the sea­ son with 15 points and 11 rebounds. Eliza­ beth Noethling scored 13 points and Tonya Bristow chipped in 12. Haley Cook and Heidi White were also in double figures with 10 points apiece. ASU will conclude the regular season this Saturday at Davidson, taking on the Lady Wildcats. Appalachian will try to sweep the season series with Davidson. ASU beat the Lady Wildcats earlier this season in Boone, 75-69. Lady Mountaineer Notes Beth Schoolfield was the only Mountaineer in double digit scoring with 22 points against Furman. It marked only the second time this season that ASU only had one player in double digits. The other time was a 41-81 toss at Tulane when Schoolfield scored 14. Appalachian's loss to Furman marks the first time since the 1994-95 season that the Lady Paladins have swept the season series with ASU. Furman's Jackie Smith leads the Southern Conference in scoring (19.9) and re­ bounding (11.2). Smith's 11.2 rebounding average ranks 20th in the nation. Tiffany Chappell had made at least one field goal in each of her last 19 game before going 0-7 from the field against Furman. ri$n s °olfield led Appalachian State with 22 points against (photo by Marvin Evans) aLrday Appalachiaii s 8-6 conference marks guarantees the Mountaineers their 13th sea­ son without a losing conference record in 15 years of play in the Southern Confer­ ence.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

W h e n Valentine's Day falls on a weeknight, business usu­ ally doubles, and sometimes even triples. Gwen Dhing, manager of Makoto Seafood and Steak House of Japan, said, "It's one of our busiest days." Dhing said ASU students account for about onefourth of Makoto's business. Valentine's Day is about more than giving gifts and going out to eat. It's about celebrating love and the Relation­ ships you have with others. Dr. Denise Glassman, a staff member of the ASU Counseling Center and co-host of WASLTs LoveTalk, has some advice to offer when it comes to all this love stuff. When it comes to why we as hu­ mans have this need to love, it boils down to love being a part of who we are. "I consider it almost like a human instinct, like an attachment, to be close to another, to have a partner, to have a companion. Love would kinda come out of that closeness and companionship," Glassman said. Most people have a need to have a partner and have someone to share their life with. "A lot of people, maybe even too much so, get their self-esteem from a lov­ ing relationship- which can be unhealthy, because if you depend too much on your A n v * fL Pat Allen partner, you are relying on them or your needs to do, even if you do have a part­ self-concept," Glassman said.

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

I guess Chad Campbell noticed I was in need of a friend, when he spied this wet, cold, wor­ ried older person sitting alone in the App Heights lobby, mumbling incoherently to himself. I was resigned to the fact that I would simply sleep in one of the lobby chairs and fill my belly with nutritious food from the vending machines.

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

Winning six out of their last s<. , games, Appalachian has learned how pick up the pieces and moved on. uigby starts the spring season with a loss at Western Carolina ...in Rurnptfp evin Burnette ci iff Writer All memories of a 35-0 blowout t semester were forgotten when the U rugby team traveled to Catamount intry to face Western Carolina Jan. 31 Cullowhee. Unfortunately, Aho came ion the short end of the stick as Westi scored two tries and an extra kick int to ASU's single try scored by back cGebicke. The common spectator on the elines could see that ASU was lagging :whole game through. The game was uphill battle as the Aho scrum uggled. "The scrum had a hard time ttingthe ball out to the backs," said back nisWaddell. The competition of ball possesmjcrucial part of^gopd rugby game. JternKad ample control;of the ball dur!those 90 minutes. The intensity of both al's was evident as each fought vehently to score or to keep from being ted upon. The "whys" of their loss seemed * more important than the few high its of the game. After the game, the ruggers had a humble and introverted teanor as they each deconstructed rteam and personal performances. One of the few ASU highlights in game came from backs Don Sloan and s Waddell as they complimented the 'y Gebicke and support from Steven "Eric read that play well," said J J ,, , , . Sloan. Waddell added, "Steve got it there and Eric made the try." Sophomore Keller said it best, "I'm not blaming it on anything. It was just a lack of practice." These sentiments were the same throughout the team. Sloan said, "The guys didn t move well. It was pretty bad actually." Sophomore Greg Cable had more uplifting words, "We've got a long way to go and I believe we've got the heart for it, we've just got to find it." Club President Matt "Hawk" Swaney thought that this loss would strengthen the team more as a lesson and reminder. H^went on to say, "It's time for the younger pepple to step up and start win­ ning for themselves." What exactly could have attributed to this formerly suc­ cessful team's struggle? The answer is simple: graduation. Aho Rugby lost five to December graduation, which was a good portion of their A-side scrum. These were the guys who re­ ally led Aho last semes­ ter, said Swaney. Now the team is breaking in new guys and giving some of the old B side guys the chance to start. Only hooker Chris Range, prop Travis Snow and Swaney on the second row have returned to the scrum. While many of the backs are new to playing with each other, it's a very fresh team. "We need to be in a lot bet­ ter shape and need to get used to The rugby squad in action at West­ ern Carolina.

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

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

For a while, I theorized that they must have been manufacturing them at the power plant, spout­ ing them out of an assembly line complete with floppy ears and hemp collars. Regardless of the source, there was a definite presence which is still making itself felt. They were running all over the mall. Students walked around cradling them like babies, and they ran across the grass after frisbees. Everywhere I looked, it seemed there was a pair of fluffy ears and teething little jaws tugging at jean cuffs. It was ador­ able, and I was quite taken with them. In the past few weeks, however,Ihave noticed a much less endearing phenomenon around Boone: full grown stray dogs. It seems the puppies have reached maturity and are finding all sorts of ways to make it onto the streets of Boone. I can't help but imagine them as the same little puppiesIwas seeing then, but now they are shivering in the snow looking mangy and gaunt, wandering out onto the streets. Almost every other day, I find myself cringing at the sight of another car screeching to a halt in front of another confused, young dog. There are strays wandering aimlessly across campus without an owner in sight. Some of them I find are friendly and eager for attention, while others are downright skittish, coming only so close to you and shying away when you reach your hand out to them. The major­ ity of them, I've noticed, will approach you but con­ tinue walking on, searching for their master. Boone is nearing critical dog mass, andI can­ not help but imagine that it is at least in part due to some of the young people who have hastily taken animals into their care. Perhaps some of them do not realize the amount of time and effort that must be devoted to properly raising and caring for a dog. In my experience, most college students do not live a lifestyle conducive to giving a dog a proper home. Many of the apartments in the area are too small to accommodate anything that gets larger than a puppy. They need space to grow into. (Have you ever seen a puppy living in a dorm room? It's a sad thing. A recent studyIconducted with my nose con­ cluded that this arrangement smells bad as well. Besides that, the general habits of many col­ lege students do not con­ form to prop­ erly raising the animals. , , They require great deal a of attention that some are just simply not able to provide. We do not live the sedentary 7' lifestyles of our parents, to the extent l S that our evenings are, many times, not spent at home. Most of us are at a time in our lives when we desire as much freedom as possible and a pet as large as a dog doesn't fit into exercising that freedom. Our lives are anything but stable; we live in a place where we are not likely to long reside. We move constantly, and our ever-changing circumstances are not healthy for a growing dog. Have you ever been to a party and it seems like everyone there brought their dogs along like mascots? Soon you find yourself sitting in the middle of a kennel with three mutts climbing all over your lap. It's an annoying thing. „ Dogs are pack animals, not party animals. They require your presence and a stable household with which to interact. Near-constant supervision is re­ quired in their early years, and not everyone can of­ fer the guidance which is necessary for them if they are to develop a stable personality. Not only does the failure to play and spend time with them impede their interactions with strang­ ers, but the failure to discipline them ruins their per­ sonalities and their ability to function within your home. Not disciplining them is worse than not pay­ ing them any attention. Popping a young dog on the nose when he chews up a shirt sleeve is not animal cruelty, especially when it is my shirt. Letting a dog run loose into traffic on King Street because you are too busy to keep an eye on it, now that's cruelty. Of course they are going to tear up the trash and crap on the floor if you always leave them at home by t h e m - selves. These are all demanding :s£ and impor­ tant needs, and it is im­ portant to realize the significance of the obliga­ vtion one enters into when one buys a dog. It is an ani­ mal en­ trusted to you, and it becomes your responsibility to care for it, not just to the best of your ability, but completely. If someone cannot fufill these obligations, I do not understand why they would take one into their care. I simply question some people's motives in buying a dog.Inotice most say, "I just got a puppy" Nobody ever says, "I just got a dog." They seem to enter into the relationship with little notion of the fleeting nature of puppyhood. For a while, it is just another cute toy with everyone oohing and aahing. Lately there is a "keeping up with the Joneses" feel to the situation. Everyone wants a little doggy of their very own. I am disgusted when I see a dog wandering around in a strange house after a party while almost everyone has gone to sleep, whining to please be fed. Ican't stand to see another person visit with a fright­ ened, malnourished dog trailing nervously behind them or another tiny, newspapered bathroom full of neglected puppies and their feces left sitting all over the floor.Inever want to see another smallPSI apart­ ment with four large animals cooped up inside, and I don't want to see another obnoxious dog running "Dogs are pack animals, not party ariirn&l resence stable household in I JI which to interact." see Canines on page 4 O beautiful, for spacious...cars Bigger is better—or so the world keeps telling us m Wmml Justin Bell Columnist If the map you get at the front of Kmart is small enough to carry, the Kmart is too damn small. Imagine that, Kmart has maps. Our whole country is obsessed with the con­ cept of more. That's the problem with a country of capitalists. You can now double the beef in your nachos, super size your combo. . . or bet­ ter yet, insurance-size it! If your heart attack occurs during your visit, your family eats for free. Or if you're really into it, you can cholesterol-size it. Yes, a meal that includes five strips of ba­ con, two-and-a-half pounds of ground beef, nine pieces of all American cheese, two season passes to Duke University's hos­ pital and a skilled Japanese heart surgeon. But if you got your food in the drive-thru, you must be in a car, and in the 1990s, two wheels just aren't enough. Four-wheel drive and a gasoline engine is a must for any real American. You can only have so much fun in a car that won't go off-road. How else are you supposed to avoid stoplights? But don't stop with your car. Your old com­ puter isn't fast enough either. Now you can get four different versions of Windows and a hard drive big enough to park a Chevy in. Maybe bigger. Girls, chest not big enough? Implants are the answer. Guys, get a weight-gaining shake-1,450 calo­ ries per serving. Chicks dig muscles. That, and big­ ger Kmarts need bigger people. More.

(If you're into that kind of thing). Try one of our 45 convenient gas pumps. God knows your four-wheel drive needs the gas. So, while eating your Monster Burger and driv­ ing your Suburban, you're going to need somewhere really big to shop. That's why Blockbuster has thou­ sands of movies, Best Buy has millions of CDs, Kmart has a map and Iraq has hundreds of bombs. But sur­ veys show most of us shop at Wal-Mart, and few of us can afford bombs. All you deer out there, thought crossing a fourlane highway was bad? Try a ten-lane, double-decker, tri-directional super freeway. It's common knowledge that the regions of North Carolina are slowly evolving into one massive city joined by pavement, so we're gonna need one Bigger and better. The same word? More is progress? Apparendy. Personally, I live in a cave and write my ar­ ticles with a piece of coal. This explains my gram­ matical errors. But who am I to talk? I am the king of big. I play guitar on a 100-watt stack with four 12inch speakers. My computer is roughly the size of EMIAC: it draws half the power the campus uses. My car has a 350 V-8, and most of the time, I drive a full-size van. I make sandwiches with five pieces of ham and four pieces of bread.Iusually have to hire a small engineer­ ing firm to help with construc­ tion. It costs a little extra, but when it comes to sand­ wiches and navel lint,Ispare no expense. So although the watt­ age of my stereo is actually higher than my I.Q., it seems a worthy endeavor to ponder the direction of things, espe­ cially in a crazy world like this one. And now I will reluctandy address a topic whichI have never been able to address reluctantly. Sorry. It is possible for two things to be occurring si­ multaneously which entirely contradict each other, be it two laws of nature, one person who constandy disagrees with him or herself, or opposing trends. It seems to me a truly enlightened soul would understand issues from different perspectives, since opinions basically are perspectives, and would there­ fore disagree with themselves on a regular basis. That in mind, I legitimately disagree with ev­ erything Ijust wrote. Computers are getting smaller. Society says thin people are more attractive. Most foods now claim to be low-fat, low-cho­ lesterol, and low-priced. Cars are way smaller than they were 40 years ago. Everything in the grocery store, from snack foods to hygeine products, are now available in an annoying size known as "mini." And my ego is shrinking at an exponential rate. In summary, I am a complete fool. "It's strange thai a [it up with' expects soi% from its Members." hell of a highway before too long. Come to think of it, even this school is too damn small—despite arguments that construction is reach­ ing an all-time, uncontrollable high. I want at least two of every building, starting with my friends in the science building.I want a new dorm. I want a convocation center and a park. Prob­ ably could use a parking deck as well. A new base­ ball field, new pavement, a water park, a swampy grassland for raising endangered grazing animals... oh, what the hell, let's build a theme park and a ca­ sino. That's what we're all thinking anyway. The stu­ dent body is high and sexed up. Why not make it official? Casino all the way, baby. It s strange that a society so caught up with more expects so little from its members.

To some students, R.A.s are seen as a threat rather than a source of protection and security. Court, a freshman from Charlotte who requested that his last name not be printed, stated, "Sometimes when [we are] thought to be out of line, we are only enjoying ourselves, and those who oppress our joy need to find something better to do." Many students believe that they are capable of taking care of themselves. Some do not feel that it is necessary for an RA to tell them to turn down their TV at 4:30 on a Friday afternoon, or to call the ASU police whenever they think they smell incense burning.

The boys marched into the audiwith the confidence of men and showed why they are dubbed the most popular choir to tour the United States. Mozart, Schubert and Bach were just some of the melodies that were recreated by the boys. The Vienna Boys Choir is no stranger to the composers of some of the boys would snicker or scratch their heads, to invoke others to do the same. It was almost refreshing to see that th(?y had not been totally brainwashed, and they could act like typical children. Through the many moving ren­ ditions of folk songs from Germany, Ja­ pan and Vienna, the larger-than-life little boys proved their worth through and through. The Vienna Boys Choir was a part of the Performing Arts Series, spon­ sored by the Office of Cultural Affairs. ASU was lucky to land such a world-renowned act. The choir boys show­ cased how real talent and musical ability is meant to sound. It is not everyday that 23 little boys can come into an auditorium and command a performance worthy of such attention.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Basic rules from kindergarten apl, be quiet during quiet time, and at least re'Oil! the rights of your buddies during the other purs of the day. Many dormitory residents lose sight of nese rules when they come to college. They taste 4e initial freedom of college life, and in some uses this freedom results in a year-long party, iorget the books; these students are ready to (iljjgally) drink beer, have late-night pot parties and unite MTV's Grind dancers to bust a move on Ae third floor. But distracting noise doesn't always have income as a sonic boom. Residence hall rooms „e not soundproof. Concrete walls welcome Jl.lfll sound to reverberate through an entire hallway. One loud conversation can be heard several doors IC & Jown, and this is certainly a distraction for those tying to study or, gasp, get to bed early for that 8 a.m. class. It all boils down to a lack of respect for students who want to focus on school and sleep. Consistent noisemakers often look down upon urn those who dare break up the party. If a student natesita regular habit to ask a neighbor to settle ( down, he or she can gain an unfavorable reputasonintht dorm community—kind of ironic, since all the student wants is a little peace and quiet. Such students often receive peace and quiet, but not without a few dirty looks. The most unfortunate part about this probta is that the situation should not be handled eitirely by students, even though this is often iecase. Residence Life staff members are availikle to discipline noise makers, but the rules are iitly ambiguous. Quiet hours are determined in «h residence hall, but what constitutes too inch noise outside of these hours? Who regutes the noise levels during the day or in the arly evening hours? Most times, no one has confol—and the noise begins its journey to outrajtous levels. The system is too vague. Students Mid not have to compensate for a lack of dis­ cipline. When residence halls consider their quiet lour policies next fall, they should take into ac­ count the needs of the quiet student.

Darin Glass Editor-in-Chief lke Daniels Leslie Hitchcock *®8ing Editor News Editor If* °'Brien 1 Slne« Manager Julia Duskins rod1Ucti °n Manager t S Evans graPhy Editor Beth Bliss Opinion Editor Jeremy Ball Campus Life Editor Justin Griffin Sports Editor His sex life is his business only—we should stay out of it Chris Kinner Columnist The evening news—our daily unbiased dose of all the important events of the day, is a tradition as old as network television itself. We can tune in every evening at 6:30, and without fail, we can indulge ourselves in stories of celebrity deaths, court proceedings and political scandals—events crucial to each and ev­ ery one of our lives. Since the dawn of the age of television media, networks have consistently included the daily affairs of the President as a part of the evening news broad­ cast, no matter how trivial the event. On any given day, we might hear Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather or Peter Jennings say, "Today President Clinton took tea with the Prime Minister of England" or "President Clinton spoke with the mayors of 125 cities today" or "The President may have had an affair with a White House intern." Whoa. Since when is it anybody's business whom the President sleeps with? Why should we care how he gratifies his sexual impulses? What impact do Clinton's sexcapades have on us as individuals? Every night I have seen Clinton and Monica Lewinsky's faces on the evening news, I have asked myself these questions. I have also answered them. It is not our business whom the President sleeps with. We shouldn't care how he satiates his instinctual desires. His sexcapades have no impact on us as individuals. So why is this story on the news every night? Obviously, there are some people who would provide different answers to the questions I ask. So what's their beef? Generally, there are two arguments as to why this issue is so important. One such argument is the moral argument. How can a country as great as America, a country founded primarily upon Christian (and thus moral) principles, have such an immoral figure as its leader? How? Because it is not the job of the President to be moral. Nowhere in his oath of office does it state that he must be moral. Immorality does not affect We deserve to know the wrongdoings of our nation's leader Darin Glass Editor-in-Chief The most powerful man in the world has been caught with his pants down again. Why again? Is it even true? Who really cares? We all do. More and more, society has become increasingly less tolerant with those who do not respect women or any member of the opposite sex. But should we care that "the man" may be guilty of an immoral act? Rumors are rumors, and hopefully the truth will come out. This is the second time the media has played a major role in an event that has gained international attention. The media knows that this story has many implications and could possibly lead to some loss of power and credibility for the United States. Clinton was elected to serve this country as a decision-maker and to up­ hold the high standards of the American people. The people deserve no less. If the president has done wrong, he should be punished in the same man­ ner as anyone else. If he is proven without fault, so be it. The people have a right to know what is going on with the President. We elected him. We elected him on his job performance and his character. Would you elect a person who has a reputation of fooling around (even if it is just a rumor)? Everyone has their faults and shortcomings. But when you are in a posi­ tion of enormous power, as Clinton is, you must realize the scrutiny you will be under. Look at the society we live in today, with tabloid journalists running around snapping photos of Brad Pitt's butt. Morals should play a role in the Clinton scandal. The story is newsworthy because it involves the man who makes decisions for all of us. He represents our country. He influences many other nations to follow our lead or to fire at us. Mr. Clinton is the man with the plan, and what he does should be our business. This is our country,too. College students have been chastized in the past for being lazy or for see Clinton on page 6 see Morals on page 6 Use common sense in the snow Kevin Burnette Columnist How about all that snow we got last week! Now I hear we're supposed to get an additional 2-4 feet. That's feet, boys and girls, not inches. The sight of the National Guard driving around in their Hummers brought about quite a few recol­ lections of my childhood days in the snow.. During several of our snowbound days back home, the Guard came through the rural areas to make sure folks had heat and enough to eat. When I first saw the cam­ ouflaged Hum-v's on the snowy streets of Boone, I thought of this. Then right on the heels of that was the idea of some desperate collegiates calling the Guard to pick up a pizza and a six pack. For some of you stranded and understocked folks who are start­ ing to feel like you're stuck in "The Shin­ ing," then this might be the best ticket. Seeing all of the winter sports car­ ried out in fine Olympic style made my heart proud to be an ASU student. The extremes that people will go to to kill boredom is extraordinary, especially among college students. I saw several guys sledding down the steps beside Newland Hall, on cafeteria trays, no less. Then I saw the experts coming off the hill in front of Eggers and Winkler Halls. Those were the few who braved death not only from running headlong into a car in the Stadium parking lot but also from sliding out in front of a snowplow, only to be scraped off of the pavement after they've thawed. The real dare­ devils were those going down the hill behind the Broyhill Music Center, people who had to stop by smashing into a tree before smacking the building. Hmmm, can we mention Sonny Bono and Michael Kennedy, or would that just make the side of the music building a more popular stopping place? Back home, just give a bunch of kids an inner tube and you could watch the whole wide world of sports, mostly with the agony of defeat. You can't forget the full contact sports of ice bowl football and rugby. You didn't used to see Snow on page 6 Letters to the Editor Adminstration blind to snow To the Editor: Sometimes I wonder if people have common sense. I've been wondering a lot ever since this snow storm hit Boone. The governor of North Carolina declared Watauga County to be in a state of emergency, which lasted through Thursday, Jan. 29. On that day, many places were closed—including Lees-McRae College, the Watauga campus of Caldwell Community Col­ lege and Watauga County public schools. However, Appalachian State University stayed open. I'd like for the administration to explain what makes us differ­ ent. Contrary to popular belief, not every student lives on campus or within walking distance. Many live outside of Boone in Watauga County, or a few more miles down the road in Lenoir. It's very dan­ gerous for these people to travel. Three National Guard vehicles got stuck in the snow, yet ASU ex­ pected students, staff and faculty to be on campus at 8 a.m. My supervisor at Belk Library lives about thirty miles from campus. It took him four hours to dig out his car and drive to ASU. I know the administration will say, "Students and staff should not travel to campus if they feel their safety is jeopardized." News flash: some of us get penalized for missing class. Say, for example, your professor only allows three absences. What happens if you can't make it to school for three days due to inclement weather, but then you get the flu? Should you go to class and infect everyone, or should you stay home and accept the consequences? I wouldn't mind going to class in the snow as long as all roads, stairs and walkways were thor­ oughly plowed and salted, but they weren't. The ac­ tions of the administration during this time of emer­ gency has made me question their sense and their authority. "Firestarter" instead. Although these are great songs, I feel they are a bit overplayed. I told the D.J. no, that I did not want to hear those songs, I wanted to hear "Climbatize." Her response was something to the effect of, "Are there cuss words in that?" The song is an instrumental! I relayed that fact to her, but evi­ dently it did not matter. Now, I am not trying to hu­ miliate this disk jockey; my concern is the station itself. I have a few acquaintances who have worked at The App before, so I understand the concept of blacklisted songs, but I do not understand why a song Amanda Best would be blacklisted without containing cursing, in­ ab27277@appstate.edu nuendo or offensive lyrics. Even if this were the case, I have heard the chorus to"Smack My Bitch Up" (an­ other Prodigy song) during commercials, which con­ 90. 5—The Crap? sists of those exact words. If some of these songs are banned because of their lyrics, why can I hear them To the Editor: during commercials? Are commercials exempt from While playing a game of pool in the Student this policy? Should I call to request an advertisement? Union yesterday, I couldn't help but notice that I com­ I realize that since The App has been "revamped" it pletely abhorred the last few songs that were played can only play MTV-approved, Top 40, rehashed ca­ on our "college" radio station. I felt the need to hear cophonies, but if I wanted to hear this crap, I would a song from a band I happen to like. "Well," I thought, grab a few of my roommate's CD's (no offense, Nate). "The App normally takes requests, so I'll just give In closing, I am extremely annoyed that I cannot hear them a call." Well when I did call, I requested a song that has yet to be popular or preapproved by "Climbatize" by Prodigy. After having repeated my­ the radio station. self several times as to what song I wanted to hear and what band performed it (which was probably Richard Gambill due to the fact that the Game Room was fairly loud ASU Box 10975 and that this person hadn't heard of the song be­ see More letters on page 6 fore), I was asked if I would like to hear "Breathe" or �Page 6 The Appalachian 5 peb Beefcaaaaake! (Or, an explanation of'South Par I Matt Bielejeski Columnist "I've never seen 'South Park.'" I've heard these words way too often. This ordinarily blasphe­ mous answer is somewhat accept­ able for those poor, unfortunate souls who, like myself, live on cam­ pus. Due to the residence hall cable-receiving facilities, those imprisoned on campus cannot get Comedy Central and, therefore, cannot see "South Park." I've already written a col­ umn to gripe about the cable is­ sue. The only gripe I have this week is the "I've never seen 'South Park'" problem. For those who have been indoctrinated into the wisdom given by that small Colo­ rado town, bravo. You have in­ sights into the world that others can only dream of. But for those who have not yet experienced the wonder that is "South Park," allow me to con­ 'South Park," conduct a brief tour, highlighting the various wonders of this blessed show. Before I get to the tour, it's time for a "South Park" history les­ son: Mr. Garrison : Mr Hat, could you tell us how "South Park" got started? Mr. Hat: "South Park" was originally a 5-minute video Christmas card made for a Fox network execu­ tive. He liked it so much, he made copies for his friends. Eventu­ ally, the video, named "The Spirit of Christmas," went all around the country. When Comedy Cen­ tral producers saw it, they offered the creators a bundle of money to make a series. Mr. Garrison: And what was the premise behind the original video, "The Spirit of Christmas?" Mr. Hat: A Mortal Clinton from page 5 his ability to conduct foreign af­ fairs. It does not cloud his deci­ sion to use military force. It does hot prevent him from upholding the Constitution. Why does morality even matter when we have had so few tnoral presidents? In fact, I would argue that we have never had a fnoral president. George Washing­ ton cheated on his wife. Abraham Lincoln had no true desire to Emancipate slaves. And we all know about the terms of Richard "Nixon, John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, terms all plagued by scandal. Did it hinder their ef­ fectiveness as leaders of America? No, it did not. Morality as an is­ sue is bunk. The other argument in­ volves the President's status as a hole model. Some people claim th'at the President is a role''model for Americans, and that he should refrain from engaging in any ac­ tivity that would diminish that po­ sition. Again, it is not the duty of the President to be a role model. Why should we look to him, of all people? Why can't we be our own fole models, as professional basketball's Charles Barkley has suggested? Since when did we Aart looking beyond our parents, teachers and ministers for role ihodels? Why should we start do­ ing so today? Finally, I would like the President's critics to consider the circumstances under which these Snow from page 5 Komhat-stvlp fiahr between t Kombat-style fight hon.mnn Jesus and Santa Claus. If that doesn't begin to give you an idea of the humor that "South Park" conveys, nothing will. The "Spirit of Christmas" video short is available for down­ load on the Internet, and has been downloaded over a million times. All right already, enough with the history. Let's get down to who makes "South Park" what it is: the characters. Stan Marsh— the leader of the gang. Generally soft-spo­ ken (except when yelling at Cartman) and well-liked. Is com­ pletely in love with Wendy Testaburger, whom he throws up i i on every time he sees her. Kyle Broslofski— the Jewish kid. Befriends a talking piece of fecal matter named Mr. Hankey in the Christmas episode. Cartman makes fun of Kyle for being Jewish, but Kyle never backs down. Kenny McCormick — if you wanted death and gore, look no further than this cartoon show. Kenny gets killed in almost every episode. The fun part is guessing how he'll die. Will he be nuked in a microwave, ripped apart playing football or eviscerated with a chainsaw? In any case, you can always depend on a pack of rats to dismember Kenny whenever he bites the dust. Sure, it's tasteless. But it's pure "South Park." cnV rartman— Eric Cartman— I had to save the best for last. Cartman (as he is called by his peers) is antip.c., sexist, and not fat, but fes­ tively plump" (or so he says). Somehow, he remains the favorite of most of the viewing audience. As an example of his boorishness, he composed a song for the Christ­ mas episode: "Kyle's Mom is a Stu­ pid b ." (Let's just say that the song notes the incredible likeness between Kyle's mother and a female canine.) Chef— Chef works in the school cafeteria and tries to give the kids advice about their problems. The only problem is, whenever he does give advice, it's in the form of a sexual song, a-la Barry White. This usually obscures its meaning. He has sexual fantasies about Kathie Lee Gilford; the voic­ ing for Chef is done by Isaac Hayes. Mr. Garrison and Mr Hat— the afore-mentioned duo is instructs the boys' school classes. Mr. Garrison uses Mr. Hat as his More letters from page 5 allegations surfaced. Linda Tripp, the woman who blew the lid off the ordeal, went to a publisher in New York with her story of Clinton's wrong­ doing, only to find that her unsub­ stantiated claims were insufficient for a book to be written on the matter. She needed proof. So what did she do to gather this proof? She secretly and ille­ gally recorded a conversation with Lewinsky. How anyone can lend credence to information obtained by such illegitimate means is be­ yond me. Tripp, in my opinion, is nothing more than an untrustwor­ thy gold-digger (a la Paula Jones). What other conclusion might one draw? While my argument surely will not stem the flood of Clinton/ Lewinsky press coverage, hope­ fully it will lead some people to question the validity and impor­ tance of the story. One more question. When will that mass of people so utterly obsessed with every sordid detail of the President's life get a life of their own to become obsessed with? Face it, people: the Presi­ dent can fulfill his duties a lot bet­ ter without all the cameras chas­ ing him around. Basically, my point is this: a private life is a private life, and a public life is a public life. But by meddling in one side of Clinton's life, we are hindering the other.

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

Thus, I feel it is my exclusive right to support whomever I choose. I've been a Wake Forest fan practically since birth and do not intend to change loyalties. Second, wake up; this is ACC country. I hear you are not from this region originally, so maybe some of your misguided opinions can be excused. Many of us have grown up in awe of the greatness associated with the ACC (i.e., Len Bias, David Thompson, Michael Jordan, etc.) and are still ACC groupies. In conclusion, I should say that I do admire this year's ASU men's basketball team. They are a very good team with a bright coach and talented players. Personally, I have even been to two of their home games. However, if you do not mind, Mr. Daniels, on Feb. 5 I'll be watching UNC versus Duke—what game will you be watching? Joe H.

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

"I guess they just got tired of ev­ erything . . . just one bad thing after an­ other happened," Latta said.

Latta said he believed there to be around $3,000 in unpaid tabs when the Klondike closed, with some individual tabs being as high as $300-400. Latta said the Klondike owners would help him out when he needed it. He wasn't paid through salary but by the door since he was the bouncer. He never worried about the pay. According to Latta, when the Klondike closed, the managers left Boone but the owners are still here. There have been other rumors that the Klondike is going to reopen. Latta said he knows of five people who have expressed interest in buying the Klondike but no brie has bought it yet. Of those people, Latta said that some of them said there have had to find a new place to play. One of the bands that frequented the Klondike was Agent Ink. One of the members, Robert Gaddy, a senior from Monroe, said Agent Ink would play at the Klondike about twice a semester. He heard from a friend that the Klondike was closed. Gaddy said he and the band were that if they were to buy the Klondike, it surprised when they heard the news but would be a restaurant only, meaning no knew the Klondike had been having some bands. Latta feels that would be a bad hard times. move to make.

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

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

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

As a result of the snowfall, Watagua County was declared in a state of emer­ gency by Governor Jim Hunt. A county-wide curfew until 8 a.m. Thursday morning was enforced, not al­ lowing anyone on the roads except emer­ gency vehicles and rescue workers. The National Weather Service blew the forecast," said Associate Professor of Geography and Planning Dr. Pete Soule. The original forecast called for ap­ proximately three to four inches of a rain and snow mixture, changing to rain Tues­ day afternoon, Soule said. Instead of drenching ASU with rain, the storm system tracked further east and Boone remained in a colder section of air inducing the unexpected snowfall, said Soule. "Temperatures were well below freezing Monday night, but the skies were clear, so the storm was not anticipated," Soule said. As a result of the snowfall, the uni­ versity cancelled classes for Wednesday. According to the ASU Adverse Weather Policy, the decision to cancel classes is made by the Chancellor in col­ laboration with the Vice Chancellor staff. The decision was made at 5 a.m. on Wednesday morning, said ASU News Bureau Director Jane Nicholson. "The University Police had been in contact with the administration about the safety of the university," said Nicholson. "The main concern for the cancel­ lation was campus safety," she said. Appalachian did not close because the University Police, health services and food services were still operating, said Nicholson. Classes were not cancelled on Thursday because the administration did not recognize the same safety risks that were apparent on Wednesday, Nicholson said. Cascades in the Plemmons Student Union and the Welborn Hall cafeteria were the only eating establishments open oncampus Wednesday to serve students, said 0n Feb. 16, poet and novelist itobert Morgan will discuss his works it 7:30 p.m. in the Linville Falls Room.

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

Providing a face lift to the Nolichucky River Room, this center will serve as a point of contact for women's questions and concerns as well as encompass numerous programs, said Senior Research Associate and member of the center's steering committee Lee Will­ iams. Hard work and a belief that many issues have left women feeling frustrated led the student-faculty planning commit­ tee to form the outreach center. Upcoming programs will tackle is­ sues ranging from balancing family and career to eating right. "Helping women help other women" is also a main initia­ tive of the program Williams said. "No administration will dictate how women should be helped," Williams said. "We have to take responsibility for one another." An advisory board comprised of fac­ ulty, staff and students will be on hand to answer questions, combat concerns and assist in program planning. Comfortable seating and a small library will also pro­ vide adequate accommodations for a study area. According to Williams, the planning committee has established attainable goals for the future of the center. Will­ iams hopes that the center will remain strongly student focused and student man­ aged while continuing to serve the needs of women and assist in their development. "We want to become a visible voice for all women," Williams said. However, the term "women's cen­ ter" should not be misleading, said Will­ iams. Williams and other members of the committee welcome men both as volun­ teers and visitors of the center. "Though it is a women's center, it is open to all students and will serve any student," Williams said. "Women's health is also a man's concern." Although support is increasing and people are neutral to the idea, at worst, Williams does expect some negative feed­ back from those that feel women's needs are indeed being met. Interested students may apply to volunteer through an applicationprocess. The center will open in March for the re­ mainder of the semester.

The third annual "Hoops for Habitat" is March 28-29 in Broome-Kirk Gym, said Sigma Nu Vice President Johnny Eller. The cost is $10 per person and registration forms are due by March 20. Participants are recom­ mended to have four players per team. The three-on-three tourna­ ment is sponsored by Sigma Nu fraternity and Hampton Inn of Boone, in cooperation with Watagua County Habitat for Hu­ manity, Eller said. "We wanted to get the word out about the tournament sooner than we did last year," said Eller. "That way, more people could participate," said Eller.

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

Over Christmas break, Ruth Byrd, White Hall's housekeeper, was killed in a car accident. This column serves as a memorial to "Miss Ruth," as she was called by the residents of White Hall. Ms. Ruth's death was probably the very last thing I was expecting to hear about the night I re­ turned to Boone. Amanda approached me with the words I've come to dread: "I need to tell you some­ thing." There was nothing to prepare me, no reason to think Imight never see her again whenI left. Ms. Ruth was stronger and healthier than I could ever hope to be, and although she was older and much wiser than I, she really wasn't that old. For the past three years, when I've left for the holidays, I have carelessly yelled to Ms. Ruth, "I'll see you next year!" Her response has always been, "I'll be here." Why wouldIhave thought those would be the last wordsI ever said to her? Death can often be unfair in that way—taking those we love the most without the slightest hint.Isuppose that's why we're told to live each moment as if it were our last. But how many of us really do that? Iknow that I don't. I take for granted that I'm going to be here tomorrow, next week, next month. I took for granted that Ms. Ruth would be wait­ ing when I returned, as she said she would.I al­ ways knew she would be here when I graduated and I could tell her then how much she meant to me and what an influ­ ence she had been on my life. That day will never come now. Oh, I'll still graduate. But the person who had one of the biggest impacts on my life will not be there. I'll never have the opportunity to share with her all the thingsIwishIhad said long ago. Ibelieve and know that a part of Ms. Ruth will forever be a part of White Hall and of my life. She meant differ­ ent things to different people. I want to share with you what she meant to me-what I wish I had said to her when she was still here. Ms. Ruth started out as my favorite person at Appalachian, because the first dayImet her she was cleaning our bathroom. I hated to do that at home and I told Ms. Ruth then that I would love her for­ ever simply for cleaning our bathroom. A friendship began that day. When other people were busy eating lunch with their friends my fresh­ man year, I was sitting with Ms. Ruth and Ms. Ruby. They were a lot of fun just to watch as they interacted. I have never seen two people pick at each other as much as they did, and love one an­ other more than words could ever describe. Their friendship helped me to not lose faith in friends all together as Iexperienced the pain of growing apart from one of my closest friends from high school. But even as I was losing one friend, I was gaining an­ other. "Everything she said or did was out of love and care." see Substance makes us love a shipwreck Laurie Lyda Columnist The phenomenon of 'Titanic" has been a sur­ prise to many. When my brother heard I wanted to see the film, in true brotherly fashion he said, "Let me spoil the ending for you—the ship sinks." James Cameron, the writer and director of 'Titanic," even said, "It's a chick flick...and everyone dies," in an in­ terview with Oprah Winfrey. But the success of "Titanic" obviously didn't depend on a "happily ever after" ending. The fiveyear project has substance and sincerity, and that is what makes "Titanic" a monolithic achievement. "Titanic" transcends the typical gender biases found in sentimental issues. Women are "supposed" to cry, men are "supposed" to be strong. Iheard from several people that "Titanic" was a movie to "make grown men cry." But this promise of salty excretions didn't seem to deter the attendance of men in my hometown's cinema. Ibelieve that the gender-transcending appeal of this heart-wrenching film is a testament to Cameron's movie mastery. A movie loaded with special-effects wizardry and well-developed characters can, with the slight­ est nudge, become a commercial bonanza. Occasion­ ally, that commercialization can trivialize the subject matter (think Charlie Brown's Christmas special). But, mercifully, the trivialization of "Titanic" was not to be. On Oprah's show, Cameron said his focus changed during his 12 underwater dives to the "Ti­ tanic" wreckage. No longer did he view his project as a commercial endeavor. Instead, it became a tribute to the 1500 people who died on that fateful voyage upon the ship once deemed "unsinkable." Cameron's sincere com­ mitment to his project led him to forsake his salary to fund the $200 million endeavor. This gesture alone, in an in­ dustry dominated by mega-bucks, is inspira­ tional. "Titanic" be­ came Cameron's dream. And, as an au­ dience member on Oprah said, his perse­ verance inspires others to pursue their dreams. In the words of Leonardo DiCaprio's character, Jack Dawson, you have to "make it count," with no exceptions. The brevity of life should in­ duce each of us to do more, not less. Value each moment and don't let a day pass where you feel you wasted your time. The film's storyline is a prime, example of how things don't always turn out as planned. I hope Cameron realizes what his film has accomplished. Not only were audiences held in sus­ pense over the fate of Jack and Rose, but they were forced to see a side of human nature most of us would rather not acknowledge. This forced acknowledg- see Question: How did last week's snowstorm affect you? "I was snowed in for two days.

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

Wells said that the summer study abroad trips are great preparation for a full immersion experience, like a semes­ ter or year-long study abroad. Katie Wargin, who studied in Costa Rica from February to July of 1997, said studying abroad is, "The best thing you can do." Wargin's life changed during the semester-long trip, mainly in her appre­ ciation of the convenience of American life. Wargin even learned to appreciate hot water. Wargin exemplifies the flexibility and maturity Wells discusses. She learned to look at things from a different stand­ point; tms is a crucial element in learning which many students miss by only sitting in the classroom and doing homework. Wargin's most exciting expe­ rience in Costa Rica was climbing an active volcano with two other ASU stu­ dents whom she studied abroad with. She says they are all close friends since the trip and she also made friends overseas. Appalachian offers 20 locations for summer study abroad. They range from European adventures to Central America and Israel. The International Programs office in I.G. Greer has details on these trips that are organized by professors who serve as trip leaders. Students need to talk with the professors leading the trip they wish to go on. Neuschwanstein castle in Bavaria is the castle which the Disney castle is based on. It is one of many sights study abroad partici­ pants have visited (photo provided by Bethany Parrish). Wells emphasized how the study programs cater to almost every \SU offers. "Virtually anybody can find a way :ason to study abroad," said Wells. Wells added that students may to work on their majors, minors, irriculum or fluency in a language \ summer, semester or year-long abroad trips. However, knowledge The summer programs average four weeks overseas, but some are shorter. But you had better hurry. Many deadlines for summer programs have already passed and now is the time to begin seriously thinking about fall semester trips overseas. Summer programs are filling up quickly and many meet before summer­ time to help prepare students for the ex­ perience. The four week summer programs weigh heavily into ASU requirements. Generally, students receive six credit hours for the trip. Financial aid and scholarships that students already have through ASU apply to trips as well. Costs to study abroad are often near the same price as tuition and fees here at ASU. Wells em­ phasizes that study abroad through ASU is virtually the cheapest way to travel. Wells said, "The summer trips are often good for students who want to travel.... but are not quite as experienced. ... they go with this group and it's a nice initiation into international travel because you're not on your own." Wells said that around 3.85percent of ASU students have international experience, which is above average. Many more students could take advantage of this program, however. ASU is a member of the Interna­ tional Student Exchange Program (I.S.E.P) which gives students over 100 different locations to choose from for se­ mester and year-long study abroad trips. ASU students going through sum­ mer programs would be much more pre­ pared for a long immersion into another culture in one of the 35 countries that the International Programs has to offer. Part of many programs is, of course, learning a second language. Wells said that with her experience dealing with people around the world, Americans are irresponsible for not learning a second language. But, she said that will change as the world becomes more of a world economy and as Americans travel more. Wells said," The older you get the harder it gets. . . . There is no better way to [learn] a language then to have to use it where you're being immersed in that language." Travel abroad provides many things for ASU students. Not only can we experience another culture while getting credit hours and learning another lan­ guage, but we can re-evaluate our own culture and learn a lot about ourselves. ppalachian gets a night at the opera ilvey riter Walking into Farthing Auditowatch the Italian National Opera ' this past Monday was an experiitself.

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

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

For the Mountaineers, the loss gs them back down to earthin SouthConference's NorthDivision standings.

"We can win if we just take it one game at a time," said Breedlove. The game definitely showed a tale of two halves with Schoolfield and Dolan. Western held ASU's leading scorer, Schoolfield to just two points in the open­ ing frame while Dolan connected on five of her seven shots including three from behind the arc to register in with 13 at the break. The Lady Catamounts changed their defense in the second half and were able to shut down Dolan, holding her to just one point.

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

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

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

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

Caton is not new to The Charlotte Observer; he wrote for the publication in 1996. Although he was unable to enter the 1997 columnist competition, Caton was asked by an Observer editor to write an occasional editorial. "I looked at several papers but liked the editorial mix of the Observer, so I settled on that one," Caton said. When the 1998 editorial competition rolled around, the editor offered Caton the position KqcoH on nrorn'mic columns and based nn previous rnlnmnc ot original submissions in the 1996 competition. Caton's first column ap­ peared in The Observer's Jan. 6 issue and was entitled, "How well did yesterday's futurists predict today?" His columns appear on The Observer's Viewpoint page on the first Tuesday of each month. Caton hopes to discuss issues not covered locally, but will apply a local spin to each topic. Caton serves as the director of the Dark Sky Observatory, a fa­ cility used by ASU faculty and stu­ dents as a research tool. He hopes that the observatory will be open to the public in future months. Vienna Choir Boys bring unique sound next week Since 1932, the Vienna Choir Boys have entertained American audiences.

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

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

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

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

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

The sophomore guard con­ ned on six of her 11 shots from the field, ending four of seven behind the arc.

"That's tt ° natural position (shooting guard); eT* s more confident and is making bet^ decisions, " said Mountaineer head * ch Barbie Breedlove. ^ Junior Beth Schoolfield was the - H scorer for the Mountaineers as tied a career high of her own 22 points.

Appalachian displayed why they chian overcome 12 first half turnovers and lead at the break 36-28. The Mountaineers came out in the second half and raised their intensity on both ends of the floor. Appa­ lachian held the Lady Cata­ mounts score­ less for the first 3:29 of the sec­ ond half and built their first Breedlove double digit lead of the game at 38-28. The margin re­ mained at about 10 until the last 7:50 of the game when everything just fell apart for Western Carolina. The Lady Cats' missed every shot down the stretch, and when they didn't miss a shot, they turned the ball over. "They couldn't handle our defensive pressure," said Breedlove. "It seemed as though they just gave up." Appalachian displayed their killer instinct and ended the game with a re- "They couldn't handle our de­ fensive pressure.

The Moun­ taineers' defense held Western Carolina (4-13, 2-6) to just 39 percent shooting in the first half, helping Appala­ markable 16-0 run. "I really didn't think we were going to blow any­ body out. The players proved me wrong, and I love to be proven wrong like that. We scored eas­ ily," said Breedlove. The win once again showed the Mountaineers' dominance over their arch-rivals to the South. Appalachian now leads the overall series against the Lady Catamounts 43-17. Western Carolina was led by Karen Mason with 14 points, but she connected on just three of 12 from the field. However, Ma­ son was eight of nine from the charity stripe. "I told them to stop fouling her and make her make a shot. After that, she (Mason) didn't score anymore," said Breedlove. Willow Russell came off the bench and scored 12 points while grabbing nine boards.

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

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

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

King, Jr.'s was remembered by sev­ eral guest speakers, including Dr. Vernon C. King, nephew to the late activist. When asked to describe the effect that his uncle had on him, King spoke as a family member, as a black American and as a minister. "First of all, Dr. King was a minister in the fullest sense of the word," King said. "I looked to his example of being true to the calling of serving humanity and mak­ ing life better for people," he said. King also described his uncle as a young person who spoke out against what he thought was wrong. He saw the inequities that hap­ pened in the south and felt that the treat­ ment was wrong in the eyes of God, he said. Third, in his lifestyle Martin Luther King, Jr. tried to do what was right, said King. King, Jr. was an example of being true to the word. Finally, King, Jr. taught that dreams can come true, King said. "He shared that if we believe in ourselves and in God, all things are pos­ sible," he said. King also discussed how his uncle's example applies to today's youth. "We must believe in ourselves," said King. "If we believe in ourselves there is no limit to what we can become." King said that the youth of today should speak out against wrongs in soci­ ety. In doing that, young people can make America a better place, he said. Additionally, if all young people get together and work for one common cause, they can make the civil rights movement work, King. said. King's com­ ments were followed by an address from Dr. C.T. Vivian, lead­ ing civil rights activ­ ist and former mem­ ber of King, Jr.'s per­ sonal staff. "No one has been so influential on : v: so many critical issues I IIP* few® for so many people as ,' • His-, : Is Martin King," said Vivian.

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

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

In order for the university to be held responsible for any kind of mishap, negligence by the university or its personnel must be proven. According to the policy, students unsure of whether or not it is safe to travel to class should "use their discretion."

Even more may say that he did nothanyone, even the black community he rep^<3 so well. These people would be wrong. Because of the peaceful battle that Dr. King . oSe like him fought, it is possible for chil0f our generation to have no memory of segin schools, restaurants and buses. It is tjle for black Americans to receive equal opun.i ties in jobs and schooling. It is possible for e yvmericans to see the rich heritage of people rerit from them and to appreciate it as a strong jj-e of their collective country. Sadly, though, it is also possible that we these things for granted. One way we take the legacy of peace for ite d is in the observance of Dr. King's birthday, le some understand the true intent of this day, •rs see it as a "black" holiday, or unfair to nonlc people. Some people simply see it as a day of school or work. It is for these people that holiday exists, as a reminder of what this counjsed to be like and what it stands for today: r-t»lindness, love, understanding and peace. Of course, there will always be that nar- minded, racist segment of our society who see King's birthday as inapplicable to them and, r e^ote, resent it. Again, it is worth reminding se people that Dr. King tried to change America rfiem, as well as his own people and others. Cing would also be the first to tell you not to font them violently, but to attack them with understanding you have and appeal to their e of what it right. Violence breeds violence love breeds love.

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

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

Standing in line with 1,000 other ^^cJents was not my idea of the perfect y.gt day of classes after my summer in ,ejjcwstone. Neither was the heat all the bodhad begun to generate after waiting ies ^ long my idea of fun. Two more people it would be my turn. "Next," said the young lady be­ hind the counter. I reached out my hand and gave her the slip of paper that had been my ide all day long. 5" The young lady held the slip of paper up in the air, and another person rame by and took it. I stood and waited, tvatching the people behind the counter kvalkfrantically around, trying to find their destination. Finally, what I had been wait­ ing for arrived. Then the young lady said, "Your rextbooks for 'Mass Media and Society ' are not rental. You will have to buy it downstairs." I took my rental textbooks and left the sweltering room to walk down­ stairs in search of my textbook. As I was walking, I began think­ ing to myself, "Why do I have to buy my textbook? Aren't they all supposed to be rental books?" I reached the bottom floor and looked out into the maze of students wait­ ing in lines with looks of frustration upon their faces. I went in and started the hunt for my textbook. Once I had both books, I walked over to the lines formed from the cash­ iers. I began to have that look of frustra­ tion on my face that I had seen on others earlier. After 15 long, agonizing minutes, I got to the register. "That'll be $32.60," the woman said. I reached into my pocket and pulled out the piece of square plastic I had recently begun to rely heavily upon. The cashier swiped my card. "Yet another bill to work off by serving hotdogs at Cas­ cades," I thought. My experience is not unlike many experiences Appalachian students have had the past several weeks. The Appalachian State University bookstore has been bombarded with stu­ dents, and not all of them have been happy campers. Hare the New.

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

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

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

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

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

It was by far the best game Appala­ chian had played this season. But I have a one question, was it just coincidence or did the Maniacs bring their special powers that have vaulted the ASU men into first place and a perfect conference mark? I believe there is a spe­ cial power in Varsity Gym when the Maniacs are there.

The crowd may have been in shock at the performance being put on by the Mountaineers, but it was most likely because the crowd was made up of mostly old people who are too lazy to get up and cheer for their home team like true fans do. The Mountaineers' victory came over the same Davidson team that was the pre-season pick to win the Southern Conference. Huge can't hardly describe how big this win was for Appalachian.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

As for his own personal feelings on this weekend's contest, Peterson is excited about going back to the school where he won a national championship in 1982 while playing under his mentor, Dean Smith, and rooming with his friend and teammate Michael Jordan, but is more ex­ cited for his players, who will have the chance to tell people years from now that they took on the number one team in the nation. "We've got nothing to lose in this game. Our kids are just go­ ing to play hard and give it all they've got," Peterson said. The Mountaineers will need to give it all they've got and hope for a little luck just to keep up with the 18-0 Tar Heels. Caro­ lina has had just five home games so far this season, and they will probably be anxious to put on a good show for their fans.

That's assuming the ACC is finshed by then. If not, the game would ibably be pushed back a year. Still, Mountaineer fans should think about getting in line now, because tickets for the game will definitely be scarce. As for this year's contest, Peterson f ASU Coach Buzz Peterson regime. Appalachian is currently alone atop the conference standings with a 4-0 record that includes wins over East Ten­ nessee State, UNC-Greensboro, Virginia Military Institute and Chattanooga, all of whom trail the Apps in the North Divi­ sion.

In that game, which took place during the 1939-40 season, Carolina beat Head Coach Flucie Stewarts' Mountaineers 58-49. • THE HEELS: Even without the leadership of college basketball's winningest coach, the Tar Heels have made short work of virtually all of their opponents this season. With recent victories over ACC rivals Georgia Tech and Virginia, the Heels haven't lost a game since...well, they haven't lost at all this season. At 18-0, Bill Guthridge and his squad currently hold the top spot in both of the college basketball polls. Led by Juniors Antwan Jamison (21.5 PPG., 9.3 RPG) and Vince Carter (16.1 PPG., 4.8 RPG.), Carolina boasts a particulary strong inside game. Few teams have even provided UNC with stiff competition this season, as their average victory margin stands at about 12 points per game. • US ACC: Appalachian hasn't won a game against an ACC opponent since 1981, when the Apps shcoked the Duke Blue Devils 75-71 in Durham.

Mountaineer Notes ASU defeated VMI despite the fact that they didn't hit one three-pointer. The game broke a 210-game streak. The last time the Mountaineers failed to sink a three was against Arkansas State Nov. 24, 1990. THE MOUNTAINEERS will open the new Convoca­ tion Center with a grudge match against North Caro­ lina. CAREER KEYDETS: VMI's Brent Conley, predicted the Southern Conference's pre season player of the year, will redshirt the 1997-98 season along with Andre Quarles. The two were also suspended last year for violating millitary codes. BRIGHT FUTURE: Andrew Davis, a 67" forward from West Point, Ga., who signed with ASU during the early signing period this year has scored at least 20 points in every game he has played this year. Other Signees include Jon Butler, (6'0" Winston Salem) and Shawn Alexander (6'2", Asheville). INSTANT OFFENSE: Ian Adams, a backup point guard, came off the bench agai'nst UNCG to score 8 points in roughly two minutes. Adams came in at the 12:15 mark and had his eight points by the 10:26 mark. Adams finished with 15 points against the Spartans.

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

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

Do you care? If apathy is not a regular part of your intellectual diet, pay attention: there are some things you might need to know. Are you aware that your country, supposedly the most democratic in the world, supports the na­ tion of Israel, a country based on the undemocratic herding of Palestinians out of their homeland? The majority of the news media report on Israel only when Palestinians react to some injustice perpetrated against them. The nation of Israel is guilty of innu­ merable crimes against humanity, and we stay blind to that fact. We'd rather watch the O.J. trial than hear about this. The most disturbing fact is that we do noth­ ing to dissuade the Israeli government from continu­ ing their human rights violations. While we ally our­ selves with Israel against the Islamic nations of the Middle East, it defies natural law more than any of these. A discussion on ignorance would not be com­ plete without a comment on the treatment of Native Americans. While this country has seen lit io give freedoms to those oppressed people who recognize its sovereignty, the only true Americans have been denied their homelands for the sake of European conquest. Although we give great lip service to these people, we fail to recognize their sovereignty as a people and a nation of individuals. Their population has been demolished by the advancement of the white man. They are segregated on insignificant reserva­ tions. I was certain that the Supreme Court declared segregation illegal, because it was not equal. Why kid ourselves? This land is truly the land of the Native Americans. And while it would be nice to say we can give it back and move away, we can t. I„,S why not allow Indians the opportunity to live their livM the way their ancestors intended lives the way ancestors and where they intended, without any interference from the U.S. government? It can be done. Another ridiculous part of our country is in the Constitution: the right to bear arms. There should be no guns in this country, regardless of what a 200-year-old piece of paper says. Just being in the Constitution does not make something right. This is the same Constitution that forbade alcohol for sev­ eral years. The same one that took nearly 200 years to it I extend voting rights to blacks and women. Basically, guns serve no pur­ pose in our society. Were there no guns to begin with, guns wouldn't be needed to fight guns. There should be no ex­ ception to this policy. No guns for police, no guns for hunters, no guns for the military. Better yet, no military. We should be a neutral, paci­ fist state, setting an example for the rest of the world, isolationism is the future of international conflict, I hope. Drugs should be made legal. If we allow tobacco and alcohol to be legal, why not other drugs? Besides, if they were legal, they could be regulated and less dangerous than they are now. Recreational use could be a legal possibility. There would be fewer people in prison for helping their friends get a fix. There would be fewer people in prison for getting a fix. And (this should please the politicians) the gov­ ernment would get its cut.

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

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

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

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

The Terriers had their chances to win the game in Var­ sity Gym. They took a 28-25 lead into halftime and led for much of the second half. After a jumper by Cathy Franks, Wofford led 54-50 with just 3:35 remaining in the game. After the Mountaineers' Eva Hegerova connected on a free throw, Tiffany Chappell hit a shot in the lane to cut the margin to one point with 2:49 to play. The teams then traded a couple baskets. The Terriers' Jenny Nett nailed a jumper and Beth Schoolfield answered with a lay-up to cut the lead back to one with 1:56 left. With just 1:31 left Wofford's Meredith Denton missed a pair of free throws and Chappell took advantage by sinking a shot that put Appalachian up 57-56 with 1:19 remaining.

Appalachian came back with a 17-6 run in the second half to cut the lead to as low as seven, but the Highlanders then went on a 7-0 run to increase the margin to 14 with just over six minutes to play. In the loss, Appalachian was led by Chappell and Schoolfield who both scored 15. Gagliano recorded her second straight double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds. The Mountaineers drop to 2-5 on the season and are 1-0 in conference play. December 18, Appalachian will host Campbell University at 7 p.m. in Varsity Gym.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Blimling closed by address­ ing the question of growth in stu­ dent population. Although the university at­ tempts to increase by no more than 50 students per year, this figure is not always feasible. "The top administration at this university does not want ASU to grow. However, we have an obligation to increase," Blimling said. Following Blimling's report, Student Body President Fernando Little delivered his State of the University Address to the Student Senate. Entitled "On the Road to Restoration," his address encom­ passed the successes of the SGA. "I am nothing but impressed with the dedication and commit­ ment of the senators," Little said. "If this level of dedication is main­ tained next semester, we will have had a great year." Having completed seven of eight platform goals, Little took some time to reiterate the SGA's accomplishments. He boasted on the success of several programs, including "Breakfast with Borkowski," Mountaineer Maniacs, and Home­ coming. Little also took a moment to discuss "opportunities" or areas of improvement. He hopes that the Senate can continue to represent the students, pass needed legisla­ tion, increase voter turnout and to "foster and cultivate Appalachian State spirit."

How all students love them so. It is that magical time of year when a udent's mind focuses on downloading massive nounts of information to pass exams, exams that ay determine semester grades. Yes, the age old questions arise again: •jay should we have final exams? What purpose > they serve? Supposedly, they measure a student's ©prehension and mastery of each subject. That the professor's answer to our questions that e ask at the end of each semester. Instead of issuing a complicated exam, •hy don't they just ask students what they've •anted? It sounds simple enough, but if you idn't ki.ow something in class, wouldn't you ant to learn about it? Why would you sit in class ir a whole semester and not understand what is oing on, then take an exam that you will fail? If eople don't understand something, most ask uestions concerning their problem. Exams are supposed to measure a udent's ability to comprehend and to apply the laterial learned. Professors cram it down the iroat of the student in a two hour period, execting the student to bust it out with flying coi­ rs. They may not consider the fact that the same tudent may have one or two more exams that ay. Some students have had up to five exms in three days. There should be a study done •n what that much pressure does to a person's irain. That is why some students just go out and Irink heavily after exams, because they don't want to think anymore. What, you say, is the solution to this madless? How about small tests every week to make ure that the student retains information on a veekly basis? This could ensure that students ome to class more and pay attention to what is oing on in class. But what do I know?

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

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

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

Thompson and you have among the living Americans a cri­ tique of the United States from all sides with the potential to insult everyone of us. By acknowledging the need for corporations to be watched by the Justice Department, our columnist Bothum recognizes the dangers of which these corporations are ca­ pable. He does not delve into them. They include environmen­ tal offenses (dumping, air pollu­ tion), low pay and no benefits for workers, dangerous products, a nasty tendency to pay Latin Ameri­ cans 50 cents an hour instead of paying their U.S. counterparts even minimum wage. Historically, offenses include the overthrow of Central American governments, as the United Fruit Company (every­ body say bananas) and the Cen­ tral Intelligence Agency did in Guatemala in the early 1950s. They include the use of dangerous and experimental means of birth control, often very harmful to the health of the women involved, in Latin America, Africa, and Asia just so we can get new versions of the pill and buy glow-in-the dark condoms. Again, I don't have the space to list the offenses corpora­ tions have committed throughout the world. Go read them for youself. Our columnist claims that cor­ porations give millions of people jobs, and so they do. Our colum­ nist claims that the enemy of the corporation is an enemy to human­ ity. This sounds a bit like Stalinist Russia here. He discredits anyone who disagrees with him as stupid, and therefore we should not lis­ ten to them. This belief is in op­ position to a democratic society where there should be those who support and those who oppose any one belief. It is this right to dis­ agree with or support corpora­ tions, government, and religion that is beneficial to our society. Our columnist is proposing that it is oppositions to the corporation that is dangerous to humanity. Would he like some KGB-esque teams searching out dissenters and shooting them on the streets of Boone? At the risk of public execu­ tion, I would say (since I am no longer idealistic enough to believe the corporation can be removed any time soon) that it is the un­ regulated corporate power, the laissez faire economic policy, that is the enemy to humanity. ing chased by a chain ing maniac, I Would 'Sav< J ask people what thev^ our accomplishment guys gave a thumbs room, many women feu / h v f h p bathroom. . e l t d t e . by the ^ L.

Besides the weekly fire alarm, our RSA meeting was vis­ ited by a group of NOW-Nazis. Fbr those of you who do not know or care the least bit, NOW is an organization of mili­ tant, left-wing, liberal women (mostly gay) whose mission in life is the equality of the sexes. No problem there. Their own national leader is a married woman who has had an affair with her lesbian lover in Washington while the leader's husband stays home in Florida. Now there's a model leader the everyday women can look up to. No wonder their num­ bers are dwindling and the major­ ity of the organization is made up of lesbians. Needless to say, since the early 1980s, NOW has sought to further the gay agenda and pro­ mote abortions on demand. Prob­ lem. It figures that they have been adamantly opposed to the Chris­ tian doctrine which opposes homo­ sexuality (1 Corinthians 6:9) and abortion (Exodus 21:22) Many politicians of the mid-1990s tout America's declin­ ing morality amid the sexual batdescape left by the 1960s gen­ eration despite their abuse toward Dan Quayle earlier this decade. NOW, though, has promoted the desolation of our nation's children by agreeing to infanticide leaving the good old USA an adolescent Odessa Steps. NOW's main concern at East's weekly function was to de­ nounce a particular aspect of our yearly Dorm of Doom. (Thanks for your attendance. The money you helped us raise will go to local charities, one of which is for bat­ tered women.) This aspect was the bathroom sequence of a bulimic woman becoming pregnant, chok­ ing her child to death after its birth, and then hanging herself in despair.

The weather this year was not too cold, and the fire kept everyone warm. Some came to hear the speaker, and some students came to brave the cold all night. "I heard about it last year and thought that it would be fun. I also thought that it would be a great way to bring things into perspective for Thanks­ giving," J.

Although Thanksgiving is usually a time to sit back and relax with family and friends, for some, it is spent instead thinking of where their next meal will come from or where they will be able to lie their head that night.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Juniors Jennifer Whetstone and Catherine Cope and graduate student Nestor Lapez participated in a national peaceful vigil in memory of Latin Ameri­ cans killed at the hands of graduates of the School of Americas. A military training school located within the base of Fort Benning, the School of Americas trains Latin American soldiers to return to their home countries to kill unjustly, said Whetstone. The school's initial purpose was to defend Latin American countries against communism. After the Cold War ended and the threat of communism died, the school was used to promote democracy. Lapez and Whetstone said that Latin American countries with the worst human rights violation records are the countries that have sent their soldiers to the sschool. Various Latin American dic­ tators have graduated from the school, in­ cluding former Panamanian President Manuel Noriega. Defenders of the School of Ameri­ cas say that the school is teaching Latin American soldiers to spread democracy through the Latin American countries. However, Lapez said, "If the school is try­ ing to preserve democracy, then they are failing to do so." The vigil was part of an effort from Amnesty International to close the school. Whetstone said that only 500 people were expected to attend, but that the crowd ex­ panded to over 2,000 demonstrators. The school was presented with a petition of over a million signatures from Americans requesting that the school be closed, Whetstone said. The vigil included a peaceful, silent mock funeral procession to the school. Whetstone said that almost $20 million in U.S. tax money supports the school. "Once poepie Know about it [the school] they can't believe what is happen­ ing. Once they get the facts, they are ap­ palled," Whetstone said. Whetstone also said that when the bill to close the School of Americas was presented to the U.S. House of Represen­ tatives, only half of North Carolina's sena­ tors and representatives voted to close the school. The bill was defeated by only 7 votes, but it will be presented to the House again next year. Whetstone and Cope spent time in Guatemala and the Honduras this sum­ mer, which inspired them to protest. "There were banners all over [the protest area] that said, 'The truth cannot be si­ lenced.' We were there to speak for our friends from Guate­ mala and Honduras." In response to the vigil, Lapez said, "I love (America) and what it stands for. I feel that the School of Americas is an embarrasment to this society." "We try to stop human rights viola­ tions worldwide, but there is a dark side of this that we aren't aware of," he said. Next week, Am­ nesty International be­ gins its year-long effort to close the school. Appalachian's Amnesty International chapter will sponsor a video featuring a former School of Americas professor who is now against the school. The video, entitled "An Insider Speaks Out," will be shown Monday, Nov. 24 in the student union's Watauga River Room. see whether it is cost effective to keep it open," said McDonnell. Class members are also interested in learning whether or not it would be better to close the inpatient wing during weekends. The university infirmary might consider the idea of "out-sourcing some of their more expensive services," said Brad Willis, another student involved in the survey and research processes. Students involved with the project plan to call on Watauga Medical Center to compare the price of an overnight stay in those facilities to the cost incurred by an overnight stay at the infirmary. This may determine if it would be less costly to send students to the medical center, rather than maintain the inpatient facilities. Such research might help Health Services decide whether or not to farm out such services. In another survey to be conducted as part of the research, students in cho­ sen classrooms will be asked about their knowledge of the services that the infir­ mary provides. Students may be unaware of some services, according to Willis. For example, Willis himself had never heard of a park­ ing amnesty for off-campus students who visit the infirmary. Parking amnesty allows students who need to park on campus to visit Health Services without worrying about a parking violation from University Police officials.

Appalachian senior Ryan McDonnell said he and fellow class mem­ bers seek information regarding the costeffectiveness of inpatient care and other services offered at the infirmary. Class members have distributed surveys to students who visit the infir­ mary. Surveys are used to gather various forms of information, such as how often students utilize inpatient services and "to fic department in such cases to let them know the student will be parking there. Senior Jennifer Simerson, who is also involved with the project, said the group also plans to get data from local doctors' offices. They will try to sample 10 percent of local family and general practice physicians to get their costs and compare them to the costs of Health Ser\ ices. According to Simerson, Appalachian students currently pay $74.50 in student health fees per semester. At the end of the semester, mem­ bers of the service and operations man­ agement class will give a presentation to Health Services to share their findings in the research and make recommendations for improvement. �The Appalachian 20 Page Roads from SPRING SERVICES *98 FREE PLANNING NEED CAS] WE BEY & si USED CD' Costa )Rica( TRAVEL CONNECTION 120 Appalachian Street 264-0802 1-800-890 0802 across from Boone Bagelry Take no chances ...

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

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

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

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

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

It seems as though '5., lachian ended up with one of the PioC games by accident this past Tues• flight- But, sad as it is, the team that the j fitaineers beat 110-46 in their largest ^ gin of victory ever, is actually a real iiege. The Anderson College Trojans t»£ably should have scheduled a game _y, \yHS though. That game might have at least been competitive, although the Pioneers probably would have picked up the win. The game itself served as a prac­ tice, at best, for Appalachian State, who held a 66-25 halftime lead. "That's what we wanted, to try to get two (games against lesser opponents) early." Said Ap­ palachian State Coach Buzz Peterson. The coach also said he felt that the easy games early on in the season offered his team a chance to, "Experience a game-like condition and get their feet wet." No one player seemed to lead the way for ASU, as four players; Marshal] Phillips, Kareem Livingston, Ian Adams and Matt McMahon finished with more than 10 points. Of 15 Mountaineers who played, 14 scored. Phillips, who finished with the game's only double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds in 15 minutes played, best summed up the performance: "To­ night we played two good halves instead See 49ers on page 8 ASU MOUNTAINEERS & UNC CHARLOTTE 49ERS • SETTING: Monday, November 24,7:00pm in Varsity Gymnasium • SERIES HISTORY: The Apps and 49ers face off for the 28th time, with UNCC leading the series 17-10. The 49ers have beaten Appalachian in each of the last six meetings. • UNC CHARLOTTE: The 49ers, under the command of second-year coach Mel vin Watkins, are currently ranked 17th in the USA Today/ESPN and the AP polls. Watkins' primary focus will be to provide heavy defense and to spread the court. Offensively, the 49ers have proven a menace from beyond the three point arc. They shot a combined .342 from down town last season. Demarco Johnson and Sean Colson, both seniors, have emerged as the 49ers aces. Johnson averaged nearly 19 points and 9 rebounds per game last season, while Colson dished out a conference best 6.3 assists per game. • FACTS SCHMACTS: Appalachian's average margin of victory over the 49ers is a little over six points, while UNCC's average margin of victory is about 13 points per i The Mountaineer Maniacs hooping it up Tuesday night (photo by Andrew Hershner) Patterson dished out nine assists against Anderson Tuesday night photo by Marvin Evans) yson Trading Places: lob Holliday taff Writer It's Thursday afternoon in Kidd ewer Stadium. As the sun shifts further the west, Anthony Barbour prepares for otball practice. But something is differ't this time. He isn't in the locker room essing out with his teammates; he >esn't wear a jersey, a helmet or cleats, irbour is not a football player now, he is football coach. A decade ago, in 1987, Barbour ls a senior at Garner High School in irner, N.C. After growing up playing otball in both Pop Warner leagues and school teams, Barbour had emerged as alented running back. The majority of the Trojan squad grown up playing football together, the time the kids reached high school in ^llnct'°ned like a well-oiled machine. J small towns, kids stay together °bghout...that helps," Barbour said. Aside from the talent and chemUY they possessed, this football team had a s. Before each contest, they would ln a c t l o n a 9 ainst feast at the Toot-n-Tell, a popular Garner dining spot. The same pair of socks en­ cased the feet of Head Coach Hal Stewart from game one through the season finale. This cohesive football team, along with the lucky socks of its head coach, was to rise to greatness this fall. Led by #43 Barbour, the blue and gold clad Trojans won the North Carolina 4-A state cham­ pionship over Richmond High School. Football was not the only area Barbour participated in. He was a guard on Garner's basketball team, as well as a member of the school's track team. Barbour also served as a physical education pupil instructor at Aversboro Elementary School. When he graduated in 1988, Anthony Barbour left Garner High School not only as the leader of a state champion football team, but as the North Carolina player-of-the-year. North Carolina State University was his next stop. College football had never been on the forefront for Barbour, however. "I never thought about college," Barbour admitted. game. Only seven games have been determined by fewer than five points, and the Mountaineers are 3-2 against the 49ers in close games. Appalachian hasn't topped UNCC since 1990, when the Apps finished off the 49ers in Charlotte 85-79. • WHAT THE Yosef & the 49er: same hat, same pipe, same beard, same snarl...Could these two be twins separated.at birth? Nah compiled by Justin Joplin Assistant Football Coach Anthony Barbour has come a long way from his days in Garner Though just 20 minutes away from his hometown of Garner, N.C. State was a whole new world for Barbour. The transition was tough on and off the field, he said. The Atlantic Coast Conference had bigger, faster players than he had ever competed against. He was also on his own academically for the first time. Including a redshirt season, Barbour spent five years under the tuteledge of Wolfpack Head Coach Dick Sheridan. The memories that stand out above all others, Barbour said, are those made during his senior year in 1992. The red and white team from Ra­ leigh posted a 9-2 record that season. Most of the seniors on the team played in every game and there were seven all-conference selections. What Barbour liked best about the team, he said, was the way they worked together. Like his teammates at Garner High School, Barbour's N.C. State teammates, numbering over 200 and com­ ing from vastly different backgrounds, functioned as a unit. Barbour graduated from N.C. Georgia Tech as a member of the Wolfpack. (photo provided by Anthony State in 1993 with a degree in sociology this season, had extensive interaction and criminal justice. He moved to Person with.

Although the work Hal Stewart at Garner High and Dick produced challenges every day, Barbour Sheridan at N.C. State, Jerry Moore helps found the work rewarding. He now holds his players become men of character off a master's degree from N.C. State in the the field, Barbour said. He "can't put a field of special education.

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

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

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

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

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

Eight students, in­ cluding one graduate student made the five day trip. I wish to point out that the efficiency and success in which this ex­ cursion was completed were due to the great assistance and planning that was carried out by Dr. Brenda L. Wey prior to our arrival. Within an hour of arriving in D.C. at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 29, we were all seated above the Senate watching sena­ tors Ted Kennedy and Jesse Helms and a long list of notables complete a roll call vote on the Senate floor. After a trip to the House of Rep­ resentatives, we were able to visit the Viet­ nam, Korean, Lincoln and new Roosevelt memorials. The following morning we trav­ eled to the Corcoran Museum to view the Gordon Parks exhibit. Parks is a photog- Clockwise from near right: 1. Statues at the Franklin D. Roosevelt museum. 2.

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

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

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

Vivian is the one telling each and every one of you your future— your class schedule and grade in­ formation. And Vivian tells it like it is.

The majority of the recording, how­ ever, is the same today as it was when TRS first started. Working as the Video Manager for Appalachian's Dis­ tance Learning Center, Vivian su­ pervises students and also has a chance to get to know them. Vivian's role with TRS provides many opportunities for her to have fun with the students at the center. "During Registration, students come in and say.'I couldn't get into this class or that class.' I say, 'Well, I didn't want you to take that class anyway," said Vivian, laughing. Vivian says, however, that students don't always react well when she reveals herself as the "voice." "Every one of them [the students] has said, 'Oooh, that's weird. I don't want to register to you'," said Vivian.

Patterson followed the pattern of his team by starting off strong with 16 points in the first half, but fizzling in the second half with just two points. Appala­ chian outscored the Saints by only four points (34-30) in the second half. Patterson said at the start of the game the team's "intensity was way above our heads." As for his own performance, Patterson said that in the second half "I was more or less looking for my team and trying to get them involved." Also coming up big in the opener was a Mountaineer who was making his debut with the team, Marshall Phillips. The junior from Atlanta, Ga. scored Appalachian's first point of the season on a free throw forty seconds into the game, and had 16 points, five rebounds and two — " 1 .—_ TT"~! * Phillips en route to two of his 16 points (photo by Marvin Evans) blocks on the night. Following Phillip's free throw Limestone was able to extend their lead to 4-1 on a layup by John Fant. However, their lead quickly evaporated as the Moun­ taineers were able to rattle off runs of nine and eight points to build an 18-6 lead five minutes later. The Apps then began a 12-point run that extended their lead to 20 points three minutes later. Matt McMahon closed out the half with a three-pointer that sent the Saints into the locker room reeling with a 47-25 deficit. The second half proved to be suniewnai or a stalemate as the two teams exchanged buckets almost equally. ASU's Tige Darner, got hot early in the half hit­ ting two thee-pointers for six of his 15 points. About four minutes later, Phillips got the ball inside and jammed one home on a pass from Patterson that sent the crowd into an uproar and gave Appala­ chian a 60-33 lead. One of the strangest sights of the night came with about 8:40 left in the half when Appalachian big man Josh Grover got a technical foul for rim-hanging which gave Limestone two shots that they failed to take advantage of. When the Mountaineers had put the Saints out of contention late in the game, Coach Buzz Peterson brought in the bench for some mop-up duty. Walk-on Daniel Issacs finished the scoring for the Mountaineers with a layup in the last minute that made it 81-53 Appalachian. Peterson said afterwards that he was "pleased with some of the guys com­ ing off the bench." Phillips, who Peterson called "very aggressive," said that "we've got to get better at intensity," in reference to the Mountaineers lackluster second half per­ formance. "If we can keep it up, you're going to see 200-point games and blow­ outs." As for his overall thoughts on the opener Phillips said "It was a good expe­ rience for our first real game." The Mountaineers stand at 1-0 as they get set to battle Anderson College tonight at 7:00 p.m. in the gym. App 'Maniacs' have come a long way Justin Griffin Sports Editor Saturday night at the Lime­ stone game, I saw something that I had not seen in Varsity Gymnasium all of last year; fan support. It was so refreshing to see our fans jeering Limestone and giving Ap­ palachian a true home-court advan­ tage. The 3,856 fans who showed up were the most I've seen in the gym in two years of going to games there. And unlike last year, the fans were loud. The Mountaineer Maniacs were very impressive with their cheers and quick migrations to end of the court when Limestone was shooting free throws. Of course, by the end of . the game, the Maniacs had lost their edge a little bit when they repeatedly started shouting "over-rated," at Lime­ stone. Of course, the players from Limestone were confused when they heard the chant, but it was amusing. However despite what many people think, the home crowd is like a sixth man for a basketball team. When the crowd is really supportive, the play­ ers on the court play harder. "I love the Mountaineer Ma­ niacs," said point guard Tyson Patterson. "The more fans we have out, the better we play." The fans also keep the team's defensive intensity up. Marshall Phillips added, "When we're running our press and we hear the crowd going, it gives us en­ ergy from within." What's even more fun for the fans is that they are in the position to annoy the heck out of players. One incident from last season that really sticks in my mind was during the Marshall game when the Thundering Herd's Sydney Coles was really ragged hard by the App fans because of his first name. Not to offend anyone with "Sydney" for a first name, but Sydney is kind of a name often reserved for women. At any rate, the fans caught on to who Sydney was and jeered him until he was practically in tears. Coles be­ came so angry, he started screaming at the fans to "screw-off" and sticking them naughty finger gestures. The jeers caused Coles to have one of his worst games of the season, missing lay-ups, free throws, and just playing a awful game. In a roundabout way, destroy­ ing Coles destroyed Marshall. It demor­ alizes a team when they have a player who can't hit a layup or misses an in­ credible amount of free throws all be­ cause he has been pschyed out by the crowd. Fans are part of any story in basketball. Unlike football, there is a roof, and the roof doesn't let the sound escape too easily.

Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski said a cer­ emony to honor ASU vet­ erans used to be held, but it has not occurred in quite some time. The chancellor stood in the crowd, watch­ ing the ceremony, and he, too reflected on the vet­ eran who had most af­ fected his life: his uncle. On Feb. 14, 1945, the chancellor was still a child. His favorite uncle was killed while flying a plane above the Pacific in World War II. It was the chancellor's mother's Staff Writer Jeremy Ball Campus Life Editor Early Tuesday morning, with dew still on the grass, an unusual group gathers on the Appalachian State University cam­ pus. There are only a few students, most of whom are dressed in green Army ClassA uniforms or in the spotted greens, whites and blacks of camouflage BDUs. Older men wearing blue and gold American Le­ gion hats arrive and gather around the Army ROTC Cadets as 7:30 a.m. ap­ proaches. They are joined by a group of administrators, a few faculty and mem­ bers of the Boone community. Looking out at the sea of orange and yellow construction cones blanketing the ground below, people begin shivering as the cold wind brushes across their faces. Members of an ROTC honor guard begin to move in a slow step, or ceremo­ nial step, toward the lone pole of their destination. The familiar red, white, and blue bundle is unfolded, one turn after another, until it forms a perfect rectangle. "Attach the flag," sounds the honor guard commander. As the bugle call is played, the sym­ bol of freedom—which, to many gathered here, represents everything our nation's men and women have died for—is raised to half-mast. The crowd stands in reverence as taps is played. Cadets and veterans sa­ lute, and others stand erect with their hands over their hearts. Cadets and ad­ ministrators stand intensely focused on the flag, while veterans from the Ameri­ can Legion stare blankly into the distance, many misty-eyed. The flag flaps, the honor guard is dismissed and everyone goes inside to get out of the cold morning air. On Nov. 11, Appalachian State Uni­ versity held the first ever Veterans Day Flag Raising Ceremony to honor all fac­ ulty, staff, and student veterans in front of the B.B.

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

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

What if? No more running to Lowe's to • d that weekly beer special or heading down "Wade's on Thursday night. 0 phese may not be concerns to some Dle but Boone would not be the same if beer sn0t allowed in town. Not only the atmo"\ere but the mood, at least on the weekends, Lid definitely change. Students go home enough as it is on the eekends, because of the lack of clubs and asLed watering holes in Boone. Alcohol may m be the only reason students leave on the Wends, but to some it is a big reason. No more Warehouse. No more ABC store. No more Peabody's. These stores may not mean much to some, but the revenue of these stores bring big money the town. And it's interesting to think about what Boone might be like if things hadn't changed, especially considering the current re­ strictions placed on the town through a prohi­ bition on liquor by the drink. Students before 1986 used to take the winding road to Blowing Rock to have "happy hour." The town of Boone was totally dry, and no alcohol of any sort was allowed to be purcahsed in town. A Boone election was held to change the alcohol law for the town. A qoute from then SGA president, Todd Campbell, summed up the feeling on the campus of ASU, "ASU is now the finest school in North Carolina." Taking the winding pitch-dark 321 to Blowing Rock for a drink back then was even worse. People would still get into their cars in­ toxicated and drive back to campus. Many people have said that was one of the main rea­ sons for changing the law. Sound familiar to anyone driving back from Tijuana Fats' late at night after a search for booze? But, would a dry Boone be that bad? Is alcohol the root of all the evils on campus? Some professors and administrators might think so, and statistics might even back them up. Others would argue that it would provoke more drinking for students, and alcoholism would rise. There seem to be no positives accompaning alcohol except for the monetary value and jobs. The fact of the matter is that alcohol brings in money for any town. Regardless of what people think, bars at universities are big busi­ nesses and also employ many college students tying to pay for their schooling. OK, but if beer is allowed, why is liquor not? Why don't they just go all the way? These are some of the questions that have been raised since the installation of the law. Rumors have spun around saying that some res­ taurants have land set aside up here waiting for the opportunity to build when Boone allows liquor by the drink. Is that a logical thing to assume if Boone were to allow liquor? It could possibly bring more revenue to Roone and allow more jobs to surface for stu­ dents who have trouble finding jobs in town. Alcohol will not go away, and proof of that rs the recalling of the Prohibition Act. Students *111 find ways to obtain alcohol no matter what, even 'f it means driving down dark, winding roads to get it. What is the answer for Boone? Will it stay ®e same? Is it a big concern? Or is education e key? We don't know. Do you? ' The Appalachian is published every Tuesday nursday of the academic year with the exception of jfWW holidays and breaks.

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

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

This small minority complains of "vicious" dogs that threaten students and disrupt classrooms with their bark­ ing. At the end of the spring semester an edi­ torial (no byline) was printed in The Appalachian in which the author called for the banishment of dogs from the campus on grounds they are "dirty" leave mine fields of droppings, enter and disrupt classrooms and above all, present a picture of ASU that visitors find distasteful. My experience with dogs, students and visitors, in more than 3 years on campus, says the writer and other dog-phobic complainers may have personal problems cen­ tered around a strong species-centric bias against animals when they are not human. The heat of their complaints gives them away and says far more about them than it does the dogs about whose presence on campus they object. The happy reactions between dogs, their owners and other students that I have observed over the years have added immeasurably to my enjoyment of the distinct ASU atmosphere. Al­ though I have seen a few dogs in classrooms for short periods of time and heard a few of them bark while awaiting the return of their masters, I have never encountered a vicious one or felt threatened by one. Visitor reaction to campus dogs has also been positive if stopping to socialize with them, observed many times, is an indication.

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

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

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

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

On Oct. 20, they spend this last day of their trip in Boone. Having attended a seminar in the morning, they are now on their way to visit the Appalachian Cultural Museum. The Wild, Wild East According to Courbois, these people are something like frontiersmen in their own country. Courbois explains that Russians "have chosen to replace Communism with a kind of Wild West capitalism that has not existed [in the United States] for 150 years." Yet, Courbois' guests look noth­ ing like cowboys. Indeed, even for tour­ ists, they are quiet and reserved. Once at the museum, they stroll cautiously past the exhibits and display cases, talking in whispers and murmurs. He explains that with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the disintegration of governmental structures and the burgeon­ ing of organized crime has made the Rus­ sian economy one of "capitalism without rules." "It is absolutely impossible to draw parallels between Russian and American business," says Yuri Prosverine, with the aid of Courbois' interpretation.

He says of his country, "We are in the first stage of development. Within a few years, you'll see another America over there." Prosverine owns three supermarkets in Chita, a city in Siberia. Brave New World These Russians are a few of those who have made a good start in their country's scramble into the future, and they have high hopes for their country. It is now 6 p.m. The tour bus has taken the Russians for a ride along the Blue Ridge Parkway and has deposited them back at the Broyhill Inn. They have gathered in Cannon Hall for drinks before the banquet that will both welcome them to ASU and mark the end of their journey. "The younger generations smelled freedom for the first time, and they rushed into business," says Yuri Jermoshin, general director of Sosnovy Bor Trade, a joint-stock company based in St. Petersburg. He is speaking through the inter­ pretation of Dr. Anatoli Isaenko, a visit­ ing professor from North Osatian State University in Vladikavkaz. Isaenko teaches in ASU's departments of history and interdisciplinary studies.

This weekend marks the beginning of basketball for the men as they play their first regular season game aginst Limestone Saturday night. The women will play their first game of the season against South Carolina in Varsity Gymnasium. Optimistic: First-year Lady Mountaineer Coach Barbie Breedlove takes positive approach to 1997 season Justin Griffin .'Sports Editor Youth will be the key word for the Mountaineers this season as they en­ ter the first year of the "Breedlove Era." With five returners from last year's squad that finished 16-12, First-year coach Barbie Breedlove will try to blend the experience of the returnees with seven incoming freshmen. "I consider our youth to be a strength as well as a weakness," said an enthusiastic Breedlove. "Youth brings en­ thusiasm and energy." Breedlove con­ cluded, 'Youth also brings inexperience and increases the likelihood that mistakes will be made. Expected to lead the Mountain­ eers will be sophomore Noel Dolan, who leads all returnees with 5.1 points per game along with 1.8 rebounds per out­ ing. Dolan led the Mountaineers last year in three point accuracy, hitting on 30-ofj71, good for 42.3 percent. •;4 Also bringing starting experience >Jtq the table will be Tiffany Chappel and J Beth Schoolfield. Chappel averaged 3.6 (Joints and 2.2 boards per game with her pbest game coming against East Tennessee ^State, where she picked up 14 points. ;Sehoolfield averaged two points per game, kith her top game being against UM-KanKfs City, whom she scored 13 against. Undeniably though, the bigger story is who the Mountaineers lost last Vear to graduation and this year to injury. Leading the list of losses is allconference player Meredith Thompson, who averaged 16.1 points per game and 6.8 rebounds. Also departed are 1,000 lady point scorers Andreia Hinton and Melissa Davis. Hinton averaged 11.9 points per contest while grabbing 7.5 rebounds a game. Davis averaged 10.6 points per game along with 6.9 caroms in last year's campaign. Leigh Jones, a feisty point guard from last year's team also graduated but still remains as a coach. Jones, whose 25 points kept the team in the game during last year's disapointing loss to Marshall in the Southern Conference Tournament, averaged 5.3 points per game. Injuries have also devastated the Mountaineers' roster with possible starter Erica Mathies suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament, thus ending her career. Mathies averaged 6.1 points per game, while starting in 14 of 28 games. Amy Mallette, and freshman Karma Edwards also fell victim to torn ACLs prior to the 1997-98 season. However, despite the losses, the Mountaineers will benefit in the future, if not this year from one of the better re­ cruiting clases in past years. Heading up the list of recruits is 5'9" Laura Edwards. The guard from East Rowan High in Salisbury School is a slasher type. "She has good range, she can take it to the hole, she's a good athlete, and an excellent jumper," said ex-coach Linda Robinson. Forward Karma Edwards, who will sit out the season, because of an ACL injury will eventually give the team some much needed versatillity at 5'10" also play­ ing at the guard position. Her athleticism and versatility gives her the potential to play all three guard spots in the Moun­ taineers' three guard lineup. Noel Dolan directs the Mountaineer Offense (photo by Marvin Evans) 6'1" post player Jamie Gaglieta hails from Hermitage, Tenn. "She is as fundamentally sound as a young lady can be coming in as a freshman," Robinson said of the Volunteer. The fourth of the new recruits is Danielle Probst from Elkin High School. Probst was her player of the year in her conference this past year. Also joining the Mountaineers will be Carrie Brill, a 5'10" forward from Advance, Sharonda Green a 6'2" forward from Greensboro, Natasha Lettsome, who is 61", from St. Thomas, Virgin Islands and Shirazette Timmin a Mebane native will round out the list at 5'8". With an impressive new recruit­ ing class coming in and Dolan's 42 per­ cent three-point shooting coming back Breedlove expects a strong effort from this year's team, " I want our team to play an aggressive, exciting brand of basketball," said Breedlove. "We will continue to em­ phasize an up tempo pace. We will push the ball at every opportunity. Tough manto-man defense will continue to be a benchmark for our team."

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

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

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

The return of Quarles will also add needed depth and defensive quickness to the backcourt. However, one missing piece from last year's team is Maurice Spencer who graduated. Spencer was a formidable part of VMI's offense, chipping in 15 points per game. One problem­ atic area for the Keydets could be a lack of experienced post players. There will be very little help for 6'9" Eric Mann, who Bellairs speaks very highly of. "Mann is the most improved player and tough to guard," he said. With VMI's small stature, look for them to play the up-tempo game. Also returning for VMI are four starters from last year's team, including Aaron Demory, Darryl Faulkner and Mann. Demory started 24 games as a freshman last year. He is one of the best athletes on the team and has the ability to turn in big plays that can lift a team. The senior leader for the Keydets will be preseason All-Conference selection Faulkner. He averaged 14.8 points a con­ test last season, including 30 against Davidson. He should handle the point guard duties with Quarles. Faulkner is a versatile player who could see action at both point and shooting guards. Jason Bell, who chipped in 11.4 points per contest for the Keydets also re­ turns. He showed the form last season which made him a true leader and could contend for All-Conference honors this season. The new recruits for VMI are Nick Richardson, Aaron Trombley and Richard Bruce. As for how they will finish the regular season, Bellairs warns, "Don't bet against us." "My concerns about this team are our lack of size and rebounding," said Hopkins. The Catamounts are missing four of their top six scorers from a year ago, including Scott Scholtz (9.2 ppg) who was also the team's leading Western Carolina looks to get rebounder (5.7 back to their form of two years ago, which rpg). The will be a tough task for a team that lost 63 largest loss percent of its scoring from a year ago and underneath 53 percent of its rebounding. the basket is The Catamounts have three se­ center Larry niors returning, Bobby Phillips, Joel Wright (6-9).

He was third in the weakness is their lack of size. No one on conference last year with 4.7 assists a the squad is taller than 6'7". There are no game. 'Joel could be the best point guard centers on this team, forcing Hopkins to in the conference," said Hopkins. go with three forwards in the frontcourt. The senior power forward, Jarvis Graham will have to pick up his offensive performance from a year ago (6 ppg). At 6'7", he's the tallest Catamount. A top newcomer to the Cata­ mount squad is Stacy Ervin (6'2"). He scored the most points in Virginia high school history and should help out Western's perimeter game. ppg), is back. Another positive they hope to carry over from last season is the play of sophomore Ryan Wilson (6'9"). Wilson was selected to the all-freshman squad last year. The Bucs' center averaged 10.3 points a game while grabbing 5.6 boards. A surprise from last season was the play of walk-on, Gabe Lisicky (6'0"). Lisicky knocked down 36 three pointers for ETSU last season. Navy transfer Greg Stephens, should help out at the guard position. They hope to improve from their 7-20 season of a year ago. But East Ten­ nessee State Head Coach Ed DeChellis said, 'There's no guarantee we're going to win seven. Everybody starts out at zero. But you're disappointed if you don't win more (than the previous year)." "We're not dwelling on die nega­ tive. We rebounded well last year. We out rebounded our opponents on occa­ sion. We are trying to push the ball more and play better defense (this season)," said DeChellis. ETSU gets a break this season with an easier non-conference schedule than in years past. They open with their first two games on the road, against Vanderbilt and Michigan State. They also play at Virginia Tech. The Bucs campaign could be a bumpy ride, but as they showed last year anything can happen on any given night. 1997-98 will be a season of learning and gaining experience for this young Bucca­ neer squad. Virginia Millitary Institute 1996-'97 Record: 11-17 1997-'98 Predicted Finish: third N VMI should have all the pieces in line this year to compete with ASU and Davidson as junior stand out Brent Conley will return after a semester off. The Keydets will also return junior Andre Quarles who also was forced to take a semes­ ter off. Conley and Quarles were both sus­ pended last winter for violat­ ing military regulations. Without Conley, a gaping hole was left in VMI's offense and re­ bounding. "Conley was everybody's every­ thing," said VMI Coach Bart Bellairs. 'The glass was half full without him. When you put Conley in the glass, it's a big splash." Western Carolina University 1996-'97 Record: 14-13 1997~'98 Predicted Finish: fifth N East Tennessee State University 1996-'97 Record: 11-17 1997-'98 Predicted Finish: fifth N East Tennessee State should bring a few of the positives from last season over into this season. They were the only team in the conference to defeat both Chatta­ nooga and Marshall. This shows that on any given night they can play with any­ body in the conference. Four starters return for the Bucs from last year's team. However, ETSU still lacks the experience needed to win in the Southern Conference. They return eight lettermen, but only one senior, Troy Seymour (6'3"). Their leading scorer, Kyle Keeton (10.8 University of Tennessee at Chattanooga 1996-'97 Record: 24-11 1997-'98 Predicted Finish: first S Chattanooga, the defending Southern Conference Champions, will have a tough time trying to duplicate their performance of last year. This year's team is very different from the team that went 24-11 and made it to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament last year. First of all, they lost their head Coach Mack McCarthy, the winningest coach in Moc history. Taking over the reigns in Chattanooga is long-time assis­ tant, Henry Dickerson. Along with their coach, the Mocs also lost three starters, Willie Young, Chris Mims and Southern Conference Player of the Year, Johnny Taylor. Taylor was a firstround draft pick of the Orlando Magic. The three combined for 41 points and 17.5 rebounds a game last year, a big chunk of the Mocs' offense. In all, Chattanooga lost their top four scorers and top three rebounders from last year. However, the Mocs do return jun­ ior forward Isaac Conner, the team's lead­ ing returning scorer (7.5 ppg) and rebounder left from last season (3.7 rpg). The 6'6" forward is a good perimeter shooter, but will have to increase his scor­ ing output this season. Former 5'10" walk-on Wes Moore Hopkins went the junior college route and brought in guards, Paul Cuthbertson (6'2") and Derrick Drummond (6'3"). "A key will be how quickly and how much our new players contribute," said Hopkins. Catamount fans don't want to see one thing that oc^ curred last season, being beaten by the Mountaineers three times . Hopkins went on to say, "I think we can compete for the championship if we can do a solid job on the backboards." Western Carolina will need more offensive output from players that haven't produced in the past. Their production will determine whether the Catamounts have a successful season. will continue to quarterback the Mocs this The Mocs also recruited some year. The junior point guard, who started 33 games last season, will have to improve hometown talent in Idris Harper, who hails his numbers from a year ago (6.0 ppg 2.8 from Chattanooga.

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

But ask the coach yourself, and he will tell you he feels like it's a whole new ballgame. "For the first two years, we survived and advanced," ad­ mitted Polinsky. "Now, we can look to re-establish the winning tradi­ tion here at Georgia Southern." From the moment he ar­ rived in Statesboro, Polinsky had his eyes set on rebuilding. In fact, he presented a four-year plan to the search committee during his interview. Slow but steady progress was the norm throughout the first two seasons as the Eagles improved day by day. Then, near the end of last A big addition to the Pala­ din squad is the 6'9" transfer from Clemson, Patrick Garner.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In the previous 12 meetings be­ tween the two squads, the Mountaineers had claimed 11 wins, but only by an aver­ age scoring margin of 6.8 points per game. Appalachian's offense scripted a new chapter in the history books, reeling off 487 total yards, as the Mountaineers downed the Keydets 42-7, amidst the cold and rain at Alumni Memorial Field in Lex­ ington, Va., Saturday afternoon. The 42-point effort marked the most points ever tallied by an Appalachian squad since the series began in 1976. The previous high-mark of 35 points was set during the 1993 season. A squad that has outscored their opponents 83-14 over their past two out­ ings, Appalachian (6-3, 5-2) wasted little time posting numbers on the board. : On the Mountaineers' opening drive, senior tailback Gerard Hardy broke off a 71-yard touchdown run, as he streaked down the right sideline past the VMI Cadet Core and sent ASU to a 7-0 lead, with 11:28 remaining in the open­ ing quarter. "The play helped set the tone for the rest of the game for us," Hardy said. "When you get a play the way we scored on that play, it is a big emotional lift for a team." The Appalachian defense continued their solid play of late. Senior linebacker Earl Hunter set up the next Mountaineer score, as he picked off his first pass of the year, off an errant heave from Keydet quarterback A1 Lester. ASU quarterback Bake Baker marched his troops down the field from the ASU 45-yard line on a four-play drive capped off by another Hardy touchdown run. This time it was a 12 yard scamper into the end zone, giving Ap­ palachian a 14-0 lead after the first period of play. : The Mountainerers wil return to Boone Saturday to face Western Carolina at 1 p. m. (photo by Robert Parriott) f The Mountaineer offense fash­ ioned an aggressive style of play through­ out the first half, despite their early first quarter success against the Keydet de­ fense. With a 14-0 lead and 8:44 remain­ ing in the opening half, Head Coach Jerry Moore elected to go for the endzone on nooga) and we wanted to use all aspects our game, and we did that by throwing the ball some and running it as well." VMI's offense struggled to gain yards on ASU's defense, led by freshman Corey Hall, who recorded a game-high nine tackles, Reaves benefited from the increased playing time. The freshman signal-caller hit on six-of-12 passes, for 68 yards, and one touchdown on the af­ ternoon. The Co­ lumbia, S.C. native added 10 yards rush­ ing on the afternoon. "It was great to get a little playing time," Reaves said. "This is Bake's (Baker) year and it is great to get in there after a week of practice. It has been very beneficial to me. Bake has helped me so much this year. I just try to sit back and learn the little things from him." Reaves most impressive series of the contest came during the late stages of the third-quarter. Reaves took the Appalachian of­ fense down the field on a 2:37 drive, cov­ ering 55 yards on five plays, capped off by a 35-yard touchdown connection to junior tight end Frank Leatherwood that put the Mountaineers ahead 42-7. "I've been really pleased with David (Reaves)," said Moore. " We were able to do more things with him. We ran the option and he threw a touchdown pass.

Witnesses said senior Jeffrey L. Jor­ dan was riding his bike down Howard Street at around 12:20 p.m., when a car on Brown Street attempted to pull out. Shelly P. Lee was trying to see around the corner for any traffic when Jordan hit the front end of Lee's car, ac­ cording to witnesses. Jordan hit the windshield and landed on his back on the road. He was not wearing a helmet. Seniors Joel Brantham and Scott Fields were two eyewitnesses to the acci­ dent. Both were walking home from class when they saw Jordan hit the car. "I saw him slam on (his) brakes and try to avoid the car," said Brantham. Fields said, The bike looked like it stood up and he went over the handle­ bars." Fields directed traffic while Brantham made sure that Jordan was all right. The driver, Lee, immediately went to a local house to call for help. Jordan was taken to Watauga Medi­ cal Center and remains there with several injuries, including torn lung, kidney and liver tissue and internal bruises. Jordan's roommate, senior Travis Bailey said Jordan's lung collapsed in the accident but was later reinflated. Bailer also said that when Jordan gets out of the hospital he will have to stay in the ASU infirmary for at least 12 days. Jordan is supposed to graduate in December and missed an exam Thesday, according to his roommate. Sergeant Vines of the Boone Police Department said Lee was issued a citation for safe movement. Safe movement in­ volves the stopping, starting and turning of a vehicle. Vines said Jordan could also be cited and assessed a $50 fine for viola­ tion of the town's policy on wearing hel­ mets.

Beth Bliss News Editor State funds allocated for use by Ap­ palachian State University cannot be used to fund a graduate student's cemetery res­ toration project, according to Vice Chan­ cellor of Business Affairs Jane Helm. Graduate student Adam Bliss of Boone recently approached the university officials seeking financial support for his efforts to clean and restore Boone Town Cemetery, located directly behind Cone Hall, where many promi­ nent figures in Boone history are buried. But uni­ versity money cannot be of­ fered for a cleanup of pri­ vate land. Helm said, "There are a group of trust­ Bliss ees for the cemetery. A family buys a plot on the cemetery. It's privately owned." "We can't take state-appropriated funding and put it into pri­ vate property," said Helm. As far as Helm knows, Appalachian has never been involved with the cemetery despite its proximity to cam­ pus. Helm and other ASU officials have encouraged Bliss to seek academic grants to fund his project. "The school could provide some kind of grant for an aca­ demic project, but we can't take student money and put it into private property," Helm said. University Provost Harvey Durham said he of­ fered to help Bliss in his search for funding.

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

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

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

Page 3 I have read with interest the articles in The Appalachian discussing vegetarians. My in­ terest in these discussions stems from the fact that I am a nutritionist, and I have been a vegetarian for the last 15 years. I believe the students and faculty and the entire Appalachian State Univer­ sity community have been disappointed that these articles have not offered a truly meaningful and well presented discussion of the issues. Instead of increasing tolerance and understanding, they have only succeeded in supporting the already strong walls of division that exist, and in foster­ ing continued resentment. In my Nutrition and Human Health courses, we discuss why individuals choose to ad­ here to a vegetarian diet. The reasons are numer­ ous, but the most common are concerns for physi­ cal health, spiritual well-being, the treatment of animals and the environment. Unfortunately, the actions of a vocal and visible minority within the vegetarian community causes all vegetarians to be viewed negatively. However, it is important that non-vegetarians realize that many vegetarians are as fumed-off by the behavior of these individuals as meat eaters. Although I do not question their sincerity, and I am somewhat supportive of their cause, I believe that their tactics do more harm than good for the advancement of the vegetarian lifestyle and their cause. Approaches such as pro­ testing outside of establishments that serve meat convinces few people of the benefits and advan­ tages of the vegetarian lifestyle. On the contrary, this approach creates hard feelings and leaves an unfavorable impression of all vegetarians. In fact, blaming McDonald's for the consumption of meat in the United States is misplaced. McDonald's is a capitalist entity and will respond to the dietary desires of the American population. It is likely McDonald's is more pro-profits that they are antivegetarian. Also, if McDonald's went out of busi­ ness tomorrow we could be assured another es­ tablishment would step up to fill their place. Therefore, these activists should realize their beef is not with McDonald's but with the majority of the American people who choose to enjoy meat as part of their diet. Despite the "hankerin" the vast majority of Americans have for meat, the popularity of fol­ lowing a vegetarian diet is increasing. One indi­ cation is that it is getting much easier for veg­ etarians to find things to eat when dining out, due to the increased number of vegetarian op­ tions on restaurant menus. Nevertheless, it is highly unlikely all Americans will someday be­ come vegetarian, although it is estimated that currently 12 million Americans follow a vegetar­ ian diet. However, this number is suspect, since it includes individuals who refer to themselves as being vegetarian, but still eat large amounts of meat in their diet. The increased popularity of blame the stress of college academia. One student may take an 18-hour courseload and think, "I can't do it all. Professors are crazy to think that I can. I have the right to cheat." This assumption may also be used in core curriculum classes; many students declare these courses as wastes of time, and abuse them accordingly. Such is the mindset of the ignorant. I con­ tinuously meet students who have come to college not to leam, not to earn a degree symbolic of years of work, but to land the almighty "good job" after gradua­ tion. In other words, "I don't want to work fast food, so I may as well spend $5000 per year to slack off and earn something I don't deserve." This is a foolish reason to come to any institu­ tion of supposedly higher learning; this is a high school atti­ tude. Our federal government has made great ad­ vances in student loan programs; more students at­ tend college today than ever before. Social barriers have been broken; remember, there were times when women weren't encouraged to go to college, and some minorities were refused admittance. We are the lucky ones, as they say. Why would you throw that opportunity away? Isn't college supposed to be more than a piece of paper and a few drunken memories? But the blame cannot be directed at cheat­ ers alone. Students who share answers have an equally carefree and unethical oudook and take them­ selves as off-handedly as cheaters, if not more so. I don't study simply to share the wealth with the per­ son next to me, who had better things to do than prepare for an exam—not even my closest friends deserve that luxury. I know there is no clear solution to the cheat­ ing problem, but I think the greatest responsibility rests with these answer-providers. Since elementary school, we have been ordered not to tattle, but I for one am tired of keeping my mouth closed. Is anyone else angered by the fact that so many students cheat and utilize unfair advantages? This may not affect a curve on a test, so you may not care. But why should cheaters prosper when the rest of us rely on our own brain power and actually earn our academic stand­ ings? Call me a nerd if you like; I don't care. School can get to me, but I feel lucky to be here. I study; I read books; I love to write research papers, because I like learning and I know I won't be here for long. I'd also like to leave Appalachian State University with more than a degree—I'd like to leave with skills, which will truly get me a "good job." As for you—my cheating classmates—I won't turn you in, because sadly I don't know your names. But I pose this question: if you cheat in college to get ahead, in your pursuit of the "good job," will you extort money from your future employer because it's just so easy to do? Will you stab co-workers in the back, stealing their ideas to impress the boss? "No! A job is something serious—I could get fired."

If the dog had not been tied I really don't know what would have happened. I was taken to the hospital where I received eight stitches in my leg.

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

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

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

(photos by Robert Parriott) Club Soccer has fun, despite rain {Nearly every single game this year has been cancelled due to rain Mike Kline Staff Writer Charlie Brown once said that in every life a little rain must fall, and it usually happens on game days. This old adage apparently rings true for Appa­ lachian State's Club Soccer team. Perhaps it is El Nino or just bad karma, but club soccer has had several of its games cancelled due to weather. Unfortunately for them, they do not have a chance to make up those games, usually due to com­ plications in rescheduling. Club Soccer plays about six or seven games Per semester. They play teams from Wake Forest, Duke - and N.C. State, so they have to travel long distances to play. The team itself is made up of 20 or so play­ ers. They do not have a coach, so they play a freelance • ^le. Sometimes that can be more fun than running complicated systems of offense or defense. With the lack of games, it is hard to judge the ability or the success of the team. It may take a few games to find team chemistry and bring forth suc­ cess. According to Chuck Long, president of Club occer, "The talent of the team varies from year to year." "New players are always coming in and oth;ers are leaving, so it is hard to judge how good the team will be each year," he said. ! There is no postseason tournament or plays 1° Club Soccer, since there really is not a conference. Scheduling is simply based on who has a team | ®nd who does not. Despite all the cancellations, Long is optimisc that the team can be successful. :, The team currently hosts a 1-1-1 record and °Pes to improve with two games this weekend. Rain rain rain.

(photo provided by Club Soccer) Mountaineers fall to Eagles in playoffs Rob Holliday Staff Writer In the week following their big win over Davidson, the men's soccer team has managed to finish the regular season with a win against The Citadel and a loss at North Carolina. However, the postseason wasn't as kind to the Mountaineers, as they fell to Geor­ gia Southern 7-5 in Statesboro. Appalachian's conference playoff game saw Georgia Southern jump out to an early 6-1 lead in the first half. The second half though, was a different story. Appalachian came back with a vengeance, outscoring the Eagles 4-1 in the fi­ nal period. Georgia Southern began the first half onslaught with a goal by Jason Russell, 48 seconds into the match. Following the score by Russell, Chris Carlson got in on the action with a score at the seven minute mark. Pat Parris and Carlson both scored in the next nine min­ utes leaving Appalachian down 40. Mark Hemphill broke the monotony with a goal at the 24:50 mark, making the score 4-1. Scor­ ing for the first half still wasn't fin­ ished as Russell and Parris both tacked on goals for the Eagles. In the second half Appala­ chian came out fired up, scoring 4 unanswered goals. Will Phipps led the attack with his goal with 51:53 on the clock and was followed by Scott Startsman, Josh Masur and Chris Weddle. Despite losing the match, ASU outshot the Eagles 21-18. The | Mountaineers also out-fouled the J Eagles 12-8. | In Appalachian's win over I The Citadel, freshman midfielder Jacob Story netted the game-win- ; ning goal at the 97:59 mark to give j the Mountaineers a 5-4 win and an even record in the conference. ASU jumped on the Cadets early, as freshman midfielder Weddle found the back of the net at the 2:42 mark. Providing the assist for Weddle was Junior Naoshi Yamamuchi. Appalachian's second goal came from Weddle at the 11:31 mark, giving them a 2-0 lead. For­ ward Will Vick was credited with the assist. Hemphill notched his team leading sixth goal of the year, to in­ crease the ASU lead to 3-0. After defeating Davidson in a road contest, the team traveled to Chapel Hill to take on UNC, their third ACC opponent this season. Carolina, had fallen to tne same Davidson squad the Apps de­ feated. Victory, or at least a close contest, seemed very well within reach for Appalachian. When all was said and done, the Tar Heels emerged victo­ rious, but only by a 2-1 score. Carolina freshman Caleb Norkus posted the first goal of the evening. Norkus netted teammate Carey Talley"s blocked shot from point-blank range to put the Tar Heels up by a goal. As the first half was draw­ ing to a close, the Apps bounced back. Freshman Jacob Story found the back of Carolina's net at the 40:09 mark to tie the score at 1-1. Carolina continued to dominate the offensive attack in the second half, allowing only one Ap­ palachian shot. With just under 20 minutes left in the match, the Tarheels took the lead. Once again connecting off a blocked shot, Carolina took a 2-1 lead as freshman Michael Bucy drilled a shot into Appalachian's goal. Despite their offensive struggle, the Mountaineers' defense proved strong. Goalkeeper Eric Gibney recorded 10 saves on the evening. With the games, Appala­ chian finished its record at 4-11-2 with a 3-3-1 conference mark. �The Appalachian 6 IF YOU DON'T LIKE BASKETBALL OR DON'T LIKE TO THE GAMES, DON'T READ THE REST OF HAVE THIS AD NT TO MAKE NOISE, BE IRRITATING ENM AND GETEgEE MERCHANDISE FROM it UATHL V * f I ACS!

At Wofford, Jennifer Rumfelt led the way with 12 kills and no errors as ASU defeated Wofford 16-14,15-11,15-11. Paula Levay also chipped in 14 kills for the Moun­ taineers in the winning effort Against Davidson the Mountaineers jumped out to early leads in the first and sec­ ond games only to end up drop­ ping both by the score of 15-13. In the first game, ASU led Davidson 10-4 before suc­ cumbing to the Wildcats. In a repeat of the first game, Appalachian jumped out to a 13-8 lead but was outscored 7-0 as Davidson again snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. Leading the Mountain­ eers was Paula Levay with 21 kills. Stephanie Young and Devon Green also made contributions in the loss with nine kills each. Tiffany White added 31 set assists. Davidson was led by the play of Brooke Bentley who fin­ ished with 12 kills and 20 digs. Mara Mordini added ten kills and 11 digs to the effort for the Wild­ cats.

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

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

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

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

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

Wrong. policy warrants that you l0t leave the stadium and back in because your card iinj to will be denied on the second try. The policy was established to curb the entry of those non-students who had recieved cards from stu­ dents who were already inside. I was unaware of this little rule when my situation arose. I came to the game with my father and grandfather. That was a questionable move as it was, but anyway I led them to the line to them their tickets. I told them I would wait for them inside the gate. Those were my exact words, but nonetheless, 15 minutes went by and no old men. They must have disap­ peared into the father-grandfather black void where they teleported outside the gate to their seats. I was fed up with the wait­ ing, so I went outside of the gate to look for them. My search was in vain, and I tried to go back in­ side. I was met with a smile and a denied card. My card was denied because I tried to renter the game. I tried to explain to the woman that 1 had just stepped outside to look for my wandering mentors. Denied on that line as well. As the frustration set in, I looked around and saw a woman purchasing a ticket who looked like a student. When her ticket was ripped by one of the volunteers, she said aloud that she was a stu­ dent and was having to buy a ticket. I then saw another student being denied by a volunteer be­ cause his card was ripped. Several other students seemed to be wait­ ing outside, as well, because of various reasons why their cards were denied. Was this just a coin­ cidence or had these problems happened before? I did not just stop at the lady who I was denied by, I went to the head person in charge and was denied there as well. In the meantime, my father and grand­ father were happily watching the game wondering what hole there little boy had fallen into. What was I to do? Should I pay? I did. I cursed and moaned and wondered why I was not al­ lowed to get back in and why I paid $11 to get into a "free" game. It ruined the rest of the game for me. Why did 1 have to pay for just looking for someone for two sec­ onds? I even asked the lady who scanned me in, but all I got was a cold shoulder. Thanks. It seems ridiculous that I had my wallet shagged in order to see a football game. Students aren't supposed to be charged to see these games, even if they do step out of the gate for a minute.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Walking groups will be eligible to receive one of three $100 prizes. See Homecoming on page 3 Leash your dog, ASU police warn News Editor An Appalachian State University student will switch places with Chancel­ lor Francis T. Borkowski for one day, in a contest sponsored by the Appalachian Student Ambassadors. To enter the contest, students this week have brought canned goods to the Ambassadors' information booth in the student union, said Student Ambassadors President, Brad Sparks. The canned goods donations con­ stitute entry into the contest; the winner will be announced at Saturday's football game. Students may still enter the con­ test through 2 p.m. today in the student union. The idea was proposed to the group by Borkowski, who wanted to revive the tradition begun by senior classes through­ out the years, said Sparks. Seniors typically used the contest as a way to raise funds for the senior class, said Sparks. The contest was not held last year, and Borkowski asked the Ambassa­ dors to pick up the contest, due in part to his own interest in trading places with a student for a day to experience student life. The Ambassadors wanted to com­ bine the contest with some aspect of com- Jonathan Beck Staff Writer canned goods to be donated to the Watauga County Hunger Coalition. Despite appearances to the con­ trary, Appalachian State University has specific rules about dogs on campus, according to a University Police spokesman. University Police Director Roy Tugman said that, under the rules, dogs are permitted on campus only when they are on a leash and when the leash is in the dog owner's hand. No dogs are to enter University buildings or be tied to railings, light posts, or trees and left unattended. The only exception to the above listed conditions applies to aid dogs, said Tugman. University Police officials receive a minimum of 2 to 3 calls a week con­ cerning complaints about dogs, said Higman. Major concerns include that some dogs can be vicious, and that they bark and disturb classes, Tbgman said. "In general, unattended dogs are creating a nuisance on campus," he said. see Ambassadors on page 3 see Leash on page 3 Ambassadors William Yeager and Jeff Strowe accept a donation to enter Daniel Cassidy in the "Chancellor for a Day" contest (photo by Bethany Parrish) munity service, Sparks said.

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

One of Justin Bell's supporting details in his recent article on TV is that commercials are significandy lacking in entertainment value and horribly tarnished by censorship. He is correct. But it's no secret that commercials are not only deficient on an entertainment level, but are also pretty damned an­ noying. With technology being able to clone sheep and create a world wide web, it seems like a small feat to create a device which eliminates commercials. However, it s not a case of not being able to create and market such a practical invention, but rather a case of not having the legal right to do so. Unbeknownst to most, such an invention is far from unfathomable. The technology for the Com­ mercial Brake—a device released in 1994, which fades out and fast-forwards through commercials as view­ ers watch VHS tapes—is easily adaptable for broad­ cast television. Using a record/delay function that records and reads algorithmic signals on a tape, live television could be viewed without the annoyance of commercials. The question of why someone has taken time to develop and market this wonder is perplexing. Oddly enough, though, someone has, but there was one minor problem: it didn't work. After going bankrupt from this failed device, its supposed inventor was forced to sell the patent. Its buyer is one of the largest conglomerates in the world and, by mere circumstance, happens to be one of the most competitive in the advertising arena as well. In the last 15 years or so, General Electric, which will represent the patent's buyer for the purpose of this ar­ ticle, has consoli­ dated such commu­ nications giants as Americom, RCA, and NBC as well as for­ mulating advertising campaigns with CNN and Coca-Cola. By doing this GE is cor­ nering the market on every facet of communication. The people of the United States are hearing only what the CEOs of large corporations, like General Electric, want us to hear. A longitudinal study of advertising links the growing materialism in America with increased vigor in product advertising. Television commercials, al­ though most people will overtly deny it, make people want to go out and purchase the advertised products to fulfill their growing materialism. Does anyone wonder who stands to gain from this and who ben­ efits financially from this rampant materialism? If you guessed corporations like GE, you are correct. The patent pending for this anti-advertise­ ment box prevents its further marketing. Conse­ quently, it also prevents any possibility of diminish­ ing the influence that commercial advertising has on our lives. The denial of the freedom not to watch these shameless self-promotions is, to say the least, unfair and unjust. Unfortunately, the capitalistic society of the United States has pro­ duced monster corpo­ rations that constantly endeavor to expand their influence over the lives of the our so­ ciety in order to make a buck. Not only are viewers exposed to whatever products the conservative business leaders deem suitable, but, in addition, the censorship of thesecommercials forces their ideals and ethics onto the average television viewer. The morals and ethics of the people should not be affected by the unremitting exposure to the advertisements of the materialistic upper tiers of our society. Rather; they should be a result of individual­ ity and self-introspection. Although law prevents us from owning this handy device that cuts out all of those irritating com­ mercials, mute buttons are still legal. The personal implementation of a commercial-muting plan could mean the difference between living in a society of true individuals and living in that of materialistic clones of the financial elite. With technology being able to clone sheep and create a world wide web, it seems like a small feat to create a device which eliminates commercials." Equity Office is here to help students, not just faculty [ Special to The Appalachian j (Note: by Joanna Yount, a graduate student in the His­ tory Department and a graduate assistant in the Equity Office.) Over 3,000 students received a student needs assessment survey from the Equity Office about three weeks ago. Only 136 students returned their surveys. These surveys were designed to help the Equity Office assess programming and educational needs by asking a random sampling of students to identify equity related problems and issues on cam­ pus.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Riding a two-game winning streak into the Southern Conference Tournament, the Mountaineers fell to Georgia Southern, 4-1, in the open­ ing round of the clash in Statesboro, Ga., Tuesday night. The loss knocks the Apps out of title contention, after compiling a 3-3-1 league mark under first year head coach, Ben Popoola. Appalachian saw a different Georgia Southern squad than the one the Mountaineers turned back, 2-1 in Boone, earlier in the season. Eagle forward, Tara Chaisson missed the earlier meeting between the two squads, but made her pres­ ence known in the quarterfinal match. The Marietta, Ga., native as­ sisted Georgia Southern's first goal of the afternoon, at the 11:54 mark, as Chaisson's pass found freshman Robin Thirsk, who edged a shot past Moun­ taineer goalkeeper Allison Wahl, giv­ ing the Eagles an early 1-0 edge. GSU would extend their lead to 2-0 just before halftime, as junior Shannon Todd found the back of the net at the 43:44 mark, sneaking a ball past a diving Leslie Beckman. After the break, Appalachian was able to set the initial tone of the half. Freshman Christine Monica put the Mountaineers on the board as she fired a shot into an open goal, cut­ ting the score to 2-1. The score was 1 the second on the year for the Altamonte Springs, Fla.native. The Apps' momentum would soon dwindle as the Chassion show began. The sophomore forward net­ ted her first goal of the final period at the 62:02 mark, giving the Eagles a 3-1 lead. Chassion put the game away at the 76:02 mark, as she found a pass from Thirsk, then chipped it over the head of Beckman for the score. The goal capped a five-point performance for Chaisson and sealed the victory for Georgia Southern. Appalachian entered their fifth ever tournament match without the services of their leading scorer and top defender. Junior forward, Allison Osborne broke her left ankle while scoring the game-tying goal against Charleston Southern last weekend. The Raleigh native paced the Moun­ taineer offense with five goals and two assists, good for 12 points on the season. She had netted goals in the two previous matches heading into the team's tournament fray. Sophomore defender, Katie Hand was unavailable for play, in both the Charleston Southern and Georgia Southern matches, after injuring her left knee in practice last week. With the loss, the Mountain­ eers fall to 1-4 in league tournament play since the 1994 clash. The meet­ ing with the Eagles marked the first time Appalachian and Georgia South­ ern, who improved their tournament record to 3-3, had ever met in post season-play. GSU advanced to the fi­ nals of last year's clash before falling to Davidson, 1-0 in the championship game. The Eagles meet the winner of the Chattanooga-Wofford contest, Saturday afternoon at Davidson in the SoCon Tournament semifinals. The other match will see UNC-Greesnboro take on the winner of the FurmanDavidson match. Appalachian closes out the 1997 campaign this afternoon at 2 p.m., as they host Liberty. The game serves as a make-up contest, since the Mountaineers had to reschedule the game, originally scheduled for Mon­ day night, due to their travel require­ ments to Georgia Southern.

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

Hirchin, who divides his residency between Boone and Miami Beach, Fla., was recognized for his tremendous sup­ port of Appalachian State athletics, pro­ grams and scholarships at the annual meeting of the Appalachian State Univer­ sity Foundation, held at the Broyhill Inn and Conference Center.

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

The University of Mississippi has taken 3t seem to be rather pidly measures to get rid he old Confederate battle flag that continues >e flown at its football games.

The chancellor ned sticks in the stadium for "safety" reasons, latently someone in the upper echelons of the aol seem to think that there's no way to disf a flag other than on a stick. Ole Miss fans carry the flag to games as ie sort of unofficial show of school spirit, at a aol that, conveniendy, is predominandy white. Ole Miss football coach Tommy erville has extended pleas to the fans to stop iging the flag because it hurts his recruiting, -efore, hurting the success of the team that fans are suppossedly trying to support. What he didn't bother to mention is that nany people, black and white, the flag is a i of hate, bigotry, oppression and a reminder a part of American history that is rather jarassing for the South. As always, you can where priorities on American campuses are: gridiron and the basketball court. The student senate of Ole Miss voted to :ourage students from waving Confederate s during games. Most of the students on the jte said the flag is "perceived as hateful" by ;t Americans and, as a result is causing the /ersity to lose prospective students, faculty resources.

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

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

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

It really felt like the writer was try­ ing to push his ideas too hard. Most of the play was a monologue by Stu, the half-naked main char­ acter who spends the entire play in a bath tub. He spouted off his rambling analogies about life. For a play that was so thick and unintelligible, Justin Rowland, as Stu, did a phenom­ enal job.

As team the Mountaineers netted 204 yards on the ground, also a season high, and in the process wore down the Terrier defense to the point that the Mountaineers did not even need to throw the ball even though it was clear they could have. "Our running game definitely took its toll on them today," said Hardy. And while the Appalachian of- Managing Editor Saturday in Spartanburg, S.C., Appalachian State turned back the clock to a time when football was simpler. When "new-fangled" innovations like the forward pass were still unheard of. Although the Mountaineers did throw the ball in their 26-21 win over Wofford that kept them alive in the play­ off race, both teams kept their attack so ground ori­ ented that it was hard not to think that these two u, teams were reenacting some classic gridiron battle between Ivy League schools from 1910.

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

Freshman for­ :ord ward Gabe Story, set up by fellow forward Naoshi Yamauchi, con­ nected to even the score at 1-1. The next goal for the Apps was scored by Davidson. When Mountaineer sophomore Will Phipps' shot ricocheted off the goal onto the ground, a Davidson de­ fender knocked one into his own net to score the goal. Down 2-1 at halftime, the Wildcats scored early to start the second half in the same fashion they started the first one. With just under six min­ utes into the second frame, Davidson freshman David Buehler netted a penalty kick to tie the count at two. After a 20-minute scoring drought, the Mountaineers capital­ ized once again. Midfielder Chris Weddle passed the ball to Mark Hemphill, who rifled a shot past goalie Brad Stoble to put the Apps up by a goal. Story converted off a steal in the final minutes of the contest to seal the 4-2 victory for Appala­ chian. With three matches re­ maining in the regular season the Apps' conference record is in good standing.

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

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

Apparently, this whole meat-eating issue has taken the opinion section by storm here at The Appalachian. First, there's a staff editorial de­ fending the dwindling number of carnivores on cam­ pus. Then there's an article that systematically pecks apart each section of the staff editorial like so much chicken feed. Wow! Now you're asking yourself why I decided to throw in my two cents worth. Well, the answer is not as simple as I'd like it to be. I have seen both sides of the meat-eating controversy. Personally, I am quite the omnivore, with many carnivoric ten­ dencies (vegetables aren't exacdy a high priority in my diet). However, my best friend is vegan and has been for three years now. My ex-girlfriend is a macrobiotic vegan. In light of this, I have seen many anti-meat, animal rights-type propaganda and tend to know more than the average bear on the subject. This whole debate seems to boil down to one simple truth: do what you want to do. Don't do some­ thing for anyone other than yourself. If you believe eating meat is wrong, that's fine; it's your personal decision to make. Conversely, if you believe eating meat is just fine, feel free to patronize the eating establishment of your choice. I understand that vegetarians and vegans want to make others aware of the abuse that animals raised for the food industry are forced to endure. Under the Constitution, that's their right. The thing is, you're not going to convert anybody by shoving your ideas down their gullet. Present your personal beliefs and ideals in a calm, rational manner and if someone wants to know more, fine. They can ask you. Don't accuse anybody of being a murderer. It's not like when we meat-eaters feel the need for a steak, we step outside with a chainsaw and go saw off some cow's rear. Okay, now for the real reason I wrote this article. Upon reading Andrew Greenberg's re­ buttal to the staff edito­ rial on meat-eating, I just had to say some­ thing. The first thing that strikes me as rather odd is the headline. Titled, 'There is no good reason to eat meat," the article systematically "rebukes" any and all "points" made in the staff editorial. The thing is, the staff editorial wasn't trying to make any points other than the one I just talked about: don't disre­ gard someone else's opinion just because it's not your own. Mr. Greenberg states that observations made by the writer of the staff editorial are, "nothing more than direct character attacks on vegetarians." Char­ acter attacks? Where? Never was it said that veg­ etarians are evil and should be exterminated. Never was it said that they are bad people. Simple obser- vations were made about shirts, noticing anti-meat eating propaganda, and that some vegetarians and/ or vegans become "aggressive or even hostile." What these observations boil down to are just that; obser­ vations. It is very hard to miss some amount of antimeat activity on campus. There are plenty of antimeat eating t-shirts around. And yes, in fact, there are some vegetarians or vegans who are "aggressive or even hostile" towards carnivores. However, I do agree with Mr. Greenberg in his assessment of the statement, "They would like you to believe that they are simply out to lib­ erate animals (like ani­ mals know the difference anyway)." This state­ ment was absentminded and didn't make any sense. But, Mr. Greenberg is not off the hook just yet. His article does make some valid points. However, much of what he is try­ ing to say gets muddied up in defining words and specifically carving up the staff editorial word by word. Because of this, I didn't get much of the point that the headline led me to believe was in there. It may very well be in there, but I couldn't find much of it. To bring this to a close (hopefully), everyone needs to brush up a little on their "respect others" skills. Do what you want to do, and don't bring down others for doing what they want to do. Can't we all just get along? "Don't disregard someone else's opinion just because it's not your own." Rock and Roll is dead and I feel fine better than most others. But, hey, they were the Beades. And with the Rolling Stones chugging away John Starling their blues driven rock beside them, rock would never be the same. It would die. Opinion Editor Some of the best instances of this can be found in 1970s pop music. Disco, for example.

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

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

And he thrives on those Actions as an engine feeds on gaso­ Those convictions have made him stand out from other Appalachian State University students, and also from other international students. "A lot of international students maybe forget where they come from," Javier said. 'They (Americans) expect in­ ternational students to say everything is nice, everything is wonderful in America. I don't have to be this way." He hasn't said everything is won­ derful. In fact, Javier has quite a bit to say about Americans. Javier first let ASU students know how he felt in a letter to the editor ap­ pearing in the Sept. 16 issue of The Appa­ lachian. In it he said, "I want to go back to my country to tell about a wonderful place I know, but I can't...." Javier said that he feels this way because of what he has seen here: people killing themselves with drugs, and a soci­ ety based on materialism. Javier did not get any response to his letter. "You continue to use mushrooms. You continue to use pills. You continue to use LSD, acid, hashish. Why do people say 'Oh, good article' if they don't think about it. It's this kind of superficiality that I hate." Nor did he get any response when he tried to question University policies. He wanted to know why the door at the end of his hall on the International Hall in East could not be open during the day since there are classes and professor's of­ fices on his hall. When he asked, university offi­ cials told him just to accept it. He said that people were amazed when he questioned the university's deci­ sion and wanted to do something about it. He has concluded that people just don't care-or don't think. "People here are like machines. They just do, and don't question," Javier said. 'They are afraid to question the sys­ tem and or do anything about it." He said that things are different at his university. "Students take responsibility for themselves. There are student organiza­ tions to fight drugs. We don't have RA's to watch over us because people take respon­ sibility for themselves." He said that he feels American students are different because they have it easier. "Here you can say, 'Oh, I'm young. I'll be serious when I leave the university'." But he said that in Costa Rica it is very expensive to go to college, and even more difficult to stay in because most students have to help provide for younger brothers and sisters. The economy is suffering in Javier's homeland. His older brother had to move to Canada to find economic op­ portunity. Many of his country's problems, as far as he can see, come from the United States government. So, why did Javier come to the United States if he has so many prob­ lems with it? Javier, now 25, graduated from the university in San Jos6 and is a history teacher for students between junior high and high school ages. He came to the United States so that when he teaches North American his­ tory he will know what he is talking about. "I wanted to see your real culture not just imagine by t.v. I wanted to see if I could change my idea about the United States, why not? The best way to learn is to go." But, Javier couldn't set aside his political and moral convic­ tions. "I came to the United States to learn about my enemy" Havier said while laughing. 'The best way to learn about my enemy is to open the door of my en­ emy and to sit and eat at the same table." But learning about his enemy has not been easy When he came here in August he had never taken an (photo byJeremy B a l l ) English class. "I came here and said, 'Uh-oh.'" Sometimes he has trouble saying what he wants to and he often asks for words or sentences to be repeated slowly. But for only a couple months of living in a see Javier page 6 Steely Pan Band is solid gold Theatre and Dance modernize N.C. dance festival _, eked crowd, BThe Steel" n*- t»> so vr- that - - hot ——- f Blow across your \torem*rnM Steel Band per­ formed a wide| is includig such familiar tunes Hot, *iot, and "La Baanba."

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

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

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

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

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

Allen conceived the idea for a national contest. Originally, he wanted to open the contest only to students, but was advised by an attorney to make the opportunity available to all interested. However, he has incorpo­ rated a special stipulation for col­ lege students, he said. All who enter the contest must pay an entry fee.

The essay itself must be 500 words or less and must describe why the writer most deserves ownership of the restau­ rant. Allen stressed that grammar and other mechanics will not be judged.

Although this may seem like a scam too good to be true, Allen assures all pos­ sible entrants that this is no joke. His busi­ ness is registered with both the Better Business Bureau and the Chamber of Commerce, he said. In addition, Allen wants prospective contestants to know they aren't getting a lemon. 'The restaurant is very successful with locals," he said. "It's a very easy res­ taurant to run, and there's a great trained crew there already." The restaurant opened in 1994 and has had a considerable gross of $300,00 to $400,000 per year, he said.

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

There is no good reason to eat meat Andrew Greenberg Guest Columnist (This article was written in response to an article written in the October 2 edition about vegetarians.) Once again it seems that The Appalachian's read­ ers are subjected to another poorly defended point of view, this time on the subject of meat-eaters' rights. In the interest of fairness, it becomes necessary for someone to step in and present the facts instead of a random collection of haphazardly assembled com­ plaints. Lest the students of Appalachian State Univer­ sity think that the opinions in the article "Meat-eaters should not be tenderized" are based on sound argu­ ments, the writers' major points will be rebuked in an effort to defend the lifestyles of vegetarians and vegans. The first way that the writers try to discredit a vegetarian lifestyle is by stereotyping all vegetarians as ruthless, annoying people whose only concern in life is to pester meat-eaters. Phrases such as "It's hard to be a student...without hearing about it," and see­ ing "shirt[s] depicting people who eat it as bad," and "vegetarians become aggressive and even hostiie" are nothing more than direct character attacks on veg­ etarians. These inaccurate phrases provide clues to the writers' obvious bias and should be regarded as only petty complaints, and not bona fide evidence to sup­ port their thesis. In the next paragraph, the writers cite examples that presume "all" people can relate to the experi­ ence. They condescendingly mention a "cute little comment" made by "new age herbivores." Not only are the writers subtly insulting vegetarians by call­ ing their views "cute," but in the process they affirm a stereotype that all vegetarians are "new age." Why would the writers stereotype people with whose views they disagree? The answer is that the writers have no valid argument to make regarding 'meat-eaters' rights' and so must resort to infantile character attacks. This fact leads to exposure of the first fallacy in the article, ad hominem, a fallacious attack in which the thrust is directed, not at a conaccident, or applying a principle that is true of a particular case to the great run of cases. In the phrase, "Cruel to animals. What about cruel to humans?" the writers commit their third fal­ lacy, the fallacy of equivocation. Equivocation is con­ fusing the meaning of a word or phrase-accidentally or deliberately-in the formulation of an argument. The fallacy occurs when the writers fail to make the distinction between these two very different meanings of the word cruelty. The writers' definition of cruelty to humans is "hav[ing] other people tell them what is in their Big Mac." The meaning of the word cruel in this context is inconvenient or annoy­ ing. Cruelty to ani­ mals can be defined by it's constituent el­ ements: the death of 120 million animals each week for food in the United States, the misery of the 85 mil­ lion pigs who live in stacked crates on barren cement walls, and the trauma felt by a young veal calf after being separated from its mother. Cruelty in this context means the infliction of unnecessary, barbaric mental or physical torture that causes suffering. This is the word's definition in the truest sense of the word. It is not the ridiculous protest that the writers would have the reader believe. By not differentiating between the two senses of the word cruel and by intention­ ally manipulating their meanings, the writers have effectively nullified any validity that this argument might have had. In that very same paragraph the writers make the remark: 'They would like you to believe that they are simply out to liberate animals (like animals know the difference anyway)." There are three problems with this argument." The first is the assumption that all vegetarians are animals rights activists, which is not true. Another is that the writers imply by saying, "would like you to believe" that animal rights activ­ ists are somehow trying to dupe the public into be­ lieving something untrue or that they have some sort of hidden agenda. That assertion is incorrect. Ani-. mal rights activists want only one thing—animal rights. What other goal could they possibly have? Do the writers believe they are actually little green men from Mars who want to take over the world, but they are only dressed like animal rights activists? Even if they were human, does the role as activist strike the writers as especially inconspicuous? I think not. "Like animals know the difference anyway." This is a very interesting statement. What the writers are trying to tell us is that animals do not know the dif­ ference between captivity and freedom. One can only assume that the writers' line of reasoning goes some­ thing like this: "If an animal is brought up its whole life in captivity, never knowing or even conceiving of freedom, then it would never want to be free; because it can't want something that it has never known or conceived." Any behavioral sci­ entist would deny the truth of that statement. Any animal knows freedom. They are not genetically programmed to exist in tiny metal cages or cramped stalls. Since animals are built to perform specific locomotive functions like walk­ ing, running, and swimming, (instead of being born in the shape of a square with no limbs or tails) obvi­ ously animals were intended to do these things. Therefore, animals naturally know and want to be physically free. In conclusion, I have shown why the writers are wrong in every major point that they have tried to make. In the unedited version of this column, I re­ spond to each individual sentence of the article. Hope­ fully, this response will, at the very least, cause some readers to realize that many beliefs concerning ani­ mals are based on nothing more than false claims, ignorance, and close-mindedness.

There had always been something weird about those photos. Some say that they lean toward each other, neither spirit ever able to part paths, even in eternity. One evening, though, the deci­ sion was made to separate the couple. Moses Cone's picture was moved to an­ other part of the house. The park ranger took the old black and white photograph off the wall and walked into the next room, where he had already driven the nails to hang the picture. After hanging the picture, he tested it to make sure it was secure, bal­ ancing and re-balancing it until he was satisfied.

He ran back to see the old picture of Cone covered in broken fragments of glass in the smashed antique frame. Cone's picture was promptly re­ turned to its place beside his wife. This is the type of story you'll hear if you take one of the graveyard tours at the Cone Manor. Each year many Appa­ lachian State University students visit the Cone Estate and take a tour or just take in the view or gift shop. The estate is lo­ cated just off the Blue Ridge Parkway near Blowing Rock. Most students, however, are not familiar with its rich and interest­ ing history, and the mystery that is asso­ ciated with it. A beautiful place with a view of the Blue Ridge.vast lands, the manor at­ tracts thousands of visitors each year. But many strange and eerie sto­ ries have surrounded it for years. Guests at the Cone Manor often report seeing mysterious images of Mrs. Cone (Bertha) in her black funeral dress or hearing un­ explained noises at night. Moses and Bertha Cone were very close, according to the current park ranger, Roger Rick. After Moses Cone's untimely death in 1908, Bertha was left in control of the entire estate. This included upkeep of the apple orchards, lakes, livestock and carriage trails that her husband had so dearly loved. Mrs. Cone did an excellent job of maintaining Cone Manor, and re­ mained in control until her death. In her will she donated the estate to the State of North Carolina. But she also had a very strange stipulation. She insisted that no one should ever be al­ lowed inside the house, and she even de­ manded that it be boarded up and sealed off forever. However, the state could not af­ ford to upkeep the grounds without any revenue coming from them. So, not only are people allowed inside the house, but a crafts store was built into the ground floor. Also, many of the original build­ ings were torn down, and for some time much of the grounds were left to ruin. Although Ranger Rick said he has never experienced "anything un­ usual" in the time that he has lived on the estate, he explained that many people, even in recent years have seen and heard things that they cannot ex­ plain. One such person is Meredith A. McCarroll, a senior from Waynesville. McCarroll worked in the gift shop at the Cone Manor this summer. She said that she is not a superstitious person, but she always hated to go on the second and third floors. They are off limits to guests and are mainly used for storage. One day this summer, though, McCarroll had to go upstairs to get some­ thing for the craft shop. She started walk­ ing up the long ornate staircase. Quilts made by local artists hung on the railing. Suddenly, she got a really creepy feeling, but she kept walking. Then she saw it: reaching over one of the quilts was a dark hand. It happened quickly, but there was no mistaking that it ^ "No, it's only a shadow, to herself.

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

Oct. 23rd 9 pm SHOWS was j @ LEGENDS T A AT THEATRES OCTOBER 24 �The Appalachian^. Sports Mountaineers deep-fry Eagles 24-12 Baker passes for 296 yards as Appalachian keeps playoff hopes alive Justin Griffin Sports Editor 'They lined it up and they beat our butts," said Georgia Southern Coach Paul Johnson after Appalachian's 24-12 victory over the Eagles Saturday. With the win, the Mountaineers kept hope alive for an NCAA playoff berth and perhaps an upper echelon finish in the Southern Conference final standings. The momentous part of the game for the Mountaineers was the third quarter, when they outscored Georgia Southern 21-0, holding the Eagles to 93 yards total offense. "I don't think it would have mattered who we were playing today," said ASU quarterback Bake Baker. "We were just determined to do whatever we had to do to win today." a Mountaineer defensive lineman Jackie Avery said that a big difference between the two games prior to the Georgia Southern contest was that the Mountaineers weren't enjoying themselves. 'The main thing for us this week was to just have fun," said Avery. For Baker, the game against Georgia Southern marked an aniversary of sorts. A year ago at Georgia Southern, Baker took the reigns of an offensively impotent team and hasn't looked back since. Baker said after the game that he was in the right situation at the right time last year, and that "things had just worked out." For senior tailback Gerard Hardy, who ran for 108 yards, the contest against Georgia Southern was a return appearance. The game marked the first time that Hardy ran for 100+ yards since the Eastern Kentucky contest, when he ran for 116 yards. "It's a lot of fun for me when we use our running game to our advantage, sai Hardy. "The past two ball games, we haven't really had a chance to run the ball as much as I'd like to." The first half was a stalemate despite Appalachian's 202 yards of total offense. Finally, after a first half of mistakes, the Mountaineers were able to get on the board with a 36-yard Chris Barden field goal with :03 remaining in the first half. "We had good drives in the first half, but we just couldn't finish them, Eleven plays and 44 v. tne aerense stopped Georgia once again.

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

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

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

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

Meister can both tune and build the instruments (photo by Casey Gabriel) Although 1997 marks the third year for Appalachian State University's Into the Streets program, several modifications make volunteering in the Boone commu­ nity easier and more important that ever. While Into the Streets has tradition­ ally been spearheaded by members of Appalachian and the Community Together (ACT) and the Student Government As­ sociation (SGA), this year's week was co­ ordinated by a broader coalition of vari­ ous campus personalities, said SGA Ex­ ternal Affairs Chairperson Ehren Meister. Meister, whose SGA position in­ volves him with all community concerns, said SGA has never taken a huge role in Into the Streets. However, this year SGA and other groups joined forces with ACT to provide varying viewpoints to Into the Streets. "We offered both financial and or­ ganizational support," Meister said. "It was a group collaboration." Representatives from 14 campus or­ ganizations and departments collaborated on Into the Streets, said program coordi­ nator and ACT staff member Emily Danahey. "We're hoping the word will get out through this strong coalition," said Danahey. Danahey said the annual week of service will not only provide students with potential volunteer experiences, but will also serve as an opportunity to earn points toward the annual Homecoming point competition. "This year, the university thought volunteering was so important that it made it a part of Homecoming activities," said Danahey. Organizations volunteering with Into the Streets will earn 40 Homecom­ ing points, the most point§ offered for an event in the competition, she said. see Streets on page 3 Student named Watauga County Humane Society's top volunteer Leslie Hitchcock shelters and kennels, and pro­ ceeds from the non-profit con­ cert directly assist the cause, he After proving it is possible to juggle said. school and volunteer work, Appalachian Alston said he foresees State University student Gideon Alston other benefit concerts and plans will be named Watagua County Humane to produce a non-profit concert Society's Volunteer of the Year. every semester.

Other issues covered by the student group were ways to curb binge drinking and promote alco­ hol awareness, pros and cons of 24-hour open visitation, and other university and college-related is­ sues. "The idea of this conference is relatively simple, but the poten­ tial to exchange ideas is good," Little said. With feedback as a main ob­ jective, several schools took ideas and suggestions from Appalachian's book rental policy, in hopes of revamping their own bookstores, said Little. Little was pleased with the conference. "Everyone left with at least one idea to take back with them, and that is what it is all about," he said.

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

The best piece of advice for ASU students or anyone else, said Al­ ley, is to "respect the animals you come in contact with."

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

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

Through Into the Streets, inividuals and organizations may ledge to improve the university ampus and Boone community trough various service projects nd activities, said Danahey.

The construction work bejg done on the roofs of Doughton, Lovill, Winkler, lone and Hoey are under way to renovate the Bttered tops. Now is a perfect time to be doing the con­ traction, when students are in full swing with lasses and studying. Students are trying to conentrate on their important studies that will proel them to heights that can only be reached with i college education. Or a huge crane. That might be a little far fetched, but why ias the construction just begun in the middle of be semester? It is like one of those term papers issignea at tne beginning ot the semester, but is lot worked on until the night before. Appalachian State contracted someone to vork on the roofs in June. The earliest the conractor could have started work was in July. The ontractor gave eight different schedules to the iniversity to when they would start. They could lot figure out a time to do it, and ASU was at the nercy of the contractor. The summertime seemed to have been the inly solution, right? Well yes, but there are still tudents in the halls with summer school, camps ind other conferences. ASU knew that anytime vould cause students discomfort, but it had to be lone sometime. V\fell, the only schedule that seemed to work vas the middle of the Fall semester. The work is ilmost complete on Winkler, and the construction ias only lasted about two weeks. Is that a small price to pay for a new roof vhich will protect students from the rain and the now? Yes, but why don't we go to the workers' tomes and take a hammer and beat on their bed rame to wake them up in the morning? That vould feel good. This problem and the other construction probems like the connecting road beside the steam ilant being totally cut off for eight weeks are be;inning to seem absurd. There is even an officer ear the blockade to make sure that students do ot jump the plastic obstacle. Are they going to rrest students if they do jump? What would they e charged with? Failure to stop while trying to et to class? . There is no way to get to Kerr Scott Hall or le John Thomas Building without going through ie gym or walking through the construction site f the convocation center. The university did not Ian for all the traffic problems, but a temporary alution would be nice, like an alternate way trough the construction.

Appalachian's campus is in disarray, with andy corn dotting almost every corner. Students lust cross Rivers Street with cars imitating the tori video game "Frogger." Does student safety come into play when SU is thinking of doing construction? Yes, but here must be other ways of making the construcion painless.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thomas delivered a speech desig­ nated as the Joan Askew Vhil Memorial Lecture last Thursday night in Farthing Auditorium, addressing a crowd eager to learn the dirt on past and present lords of the White House. Thomas discussed her experiences as a White House reporter, including her current position as White House Bureau Chief for United Press International (UPI). She also spoke of the futures of journal­ ism and the American political system. A graduate of Michigan's Wayne State Uni­ versity, Thomas in 1943 joined UPI and the Washing­ ton Press Corps. She wrote radio news for 12 years for UPI and eventually cov­ ered news on the government, FBI and Capitol Hill. During her first White House assignment in 1960, covering president-elect John F. Kennedy, Thomas started a considerate tradi­ tion of closing presidential press conferences with the now-famous comment, "Thank you, Mr. Presi­ dent." This has en­ dured to this day in conferences with President Bill Clinton. Thomas is a seasoned veteran of journalism but has maintained the drive for truth and excellence that began when she saw her first byline in her high school newspaper. "I saw my byline in the high school paper when I was a sopho­ more, and my ego swelled," she said. "I said, This is great.'" Over the years, Thomas said she has never lost interest in her profession. Having ac­ cess to a plethora of in­ formation and being nosey are just two rea­ sons Thomas is still working in the journal- Above: Helen Thomas discusses 54 years of journalism experi­ ence at a pre-lecture press conference. Below: Thomas delivers her speech to a curious Farthing Auditorium crowd (photos by Marvin Evans) ism field, she said. "I think that there is something so rewarding about our profession, that so much rides on (journalists)," she said. A shift into the technological era has led many to believe that newspa­ pers will be obsolete and that has wor­ ried Thomas. 'To me it is a tragedy that we have become a country of one-news­ paper towns and that young people are said not to be reading newspapers," she said. "Radio has come really into its own again and it has kind of done the full circle. I think that we all should be tuned in, car radio or whatever, to know when there is a disaster or castastrophe," she said. An advocate of accountability, Thomas has seen journalists take a beating in light of the controversy sur­ rounding the recent death of Princess Diana. Thomas described the media as a "neccessary evil," claiming it has been a major influence on the nation, and poli­ tics, from Watergate to Whitewater. By covering the Watergate scandal and revealing the story to the world, the media in essence "saved the country," in the words of an unidentified man who spoke with Thomas during a presidential conference of former President Gerald Ford. "I think that people do not really un­ derstand what the role of the press is," Thomas said. "There would be no democracy without the media or an informed soci­ ety. We have to be fair. We have to be ac­ curate. We have to be accountable. We have to be all those things." She added, "We would be ignorant without them." see Thomas on page 2 Grad student, alumnus campaign for Town Council spots Editor's note: The Appalachian is not affiliated with the political views of either candidate; rather, their cam­ paigns are featured in this issue due to proximity to the student body. Pamela Formyduval Staff Writer Leslie Hitchcock Staff Writer Students at Appalachian State Uni­ versity have the opportunity to elect one of their own in today's Boone Town Council election. Running under the campaign "You're invited to vote on Oct. 7," gradu­ ate student Stephen Gore anticipates serving Boone as a fair and consistent voice for students. "It is important for students to have a voice in town matters," said Gore. "Everything that happens in this town revolves around students." Gore's goals, if elected to the coun­ cil, include a synchronization of Boone stoplights; the creation of a student resi­ dential zone; a decrease in commercial rates for water and sewage; an expan­ sion of the university's Alternative Trans­ portation Plan; and the creation of more student jobs. Gore made several comments about his platform goals. A synchronized stoplight pattern could alleviate most Boone traffic prob- Stephen Gore lems, he said. Gore said traffic is the first problem he will look at if elected, de­ scribing the problem as one that can be fixed by the town council. In addition, Gore said commercial rates are the reason students pay high rents off-campus. "[City] rates are $20 to $25 while commercial rates are $40 to $60," said Gore. In an attempt to keep students out of residential neighborhoods, Gore pro­ poses a student residential zone approxi- see Gore on page 2 modes of transportation. He chose that area to enhance his own personal interests rather than to fit a particular career. Norris is presently working at Doe Ridge Pottery, located on King Street, where he has worked since 1991. He also teaches a class there. Something that correlates more with his degree is an internship he is do­ ing for the Sierra Club that is targeted at working on air pollution. Norris was involved in various en­ vironmental and political issues while at Dan Norris will not kiss your baby. He has not pandered to any big businesses and he doesn't campaign in a business suit. Norris, a 1996 Appalachian State University graduate, is not your typical politician. Norris, along with four other can­ didates, seeks your vote today to fill three seats on the Boone Town Council. Originally from Alabama, Norris came to Appalachian in 1991 and now see Norris on page 6 calls Boone his home. A strong advocate for the environment, Norris received a Bachelor of Science degree in industrial technology, concen­ trating in alternative energy with a minor in sustainable de­ velopment. In other words, he stud­ ied alternatives to modern so­ ciety. He studied ways to get away from traditional forms of energy—oil and coal—and looked at solar energy and windmill power instead.

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

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

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

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

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

The second factor is how much "The anthocyanins are produced sugar gets trapped in the leaves when from a colorless precursor," said Walker. they begin to die. This depends entirely "Binding sugars onto this precursor turn on the weather during the first few weeks it red or purple," he said. of autumn.

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

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

"You've got to keep trying to score and hope you have enough when the game ends." For the Buccaneers, scoring wasn't a problem Saturday, as they mauled Appalachian State 51-28 at Kidd Brewer Stadium. The Mountaineers kept the game close until the 7:46 mark of the fourth quarter when they saw their chances of victory slip away as freshman Buccaneer quarterback Todd Wells connected with Antonio Stringfield for an 86-yard touchdown pass, "That was the edge of the game," said Appalachian Coach Jerry Moore. Led by a flawless offensive attack, East Tennessee State never had to punt the ball. As a result, the Buccaneers racked up 707 yards of total offense against the Mountaineer defense. "If you can't force a football team to punt the ball, you have very little chance to win the ballgame," said Moore. ETSU controlled the ball for 35:28, wearing down Appalachian in the long run. With a tired Mountaineer defense on the field, East Tennessee State outrushed the Mountaineers by nearly 300 yards, 330-41. "We put a lot of pressure on the defense," said wide receiver Joey Gibson. "They were on the field a long time and that's our fault." However, the Buccaneers didn't really start to dominate in the rushing game until the second half, when they outrushed the Mountaineers 221 yards to -26 yards. In combatting the offensive effort of the Bucs, Appalachian had an offensive game that would have brought them a win against almost anyone else. Mountaineer See Apps on page 9 For more coverage of ASU football, see page 9 Mountaineer volleyball picks up two victories Men's soccer drops match at Georgia Southern Spikers top Furman and Wofford in conference homestand i •Justin Griffin ;Sports Editor Rob Holliday Staff Writer In the past week, the Mountaineer volleyball team has been on a roll, defeating Furman and Wofford in Varsity Gym. Sunday, against new confernce rival Wofford, Appalachian State cruised to a 3-0 victory, led by junior Paula Levay with her 14 kills and seven digs. Also pacing the Mountaineers was Lorri Schott, who had seven kills and eight blocks. Christine Wendell contributed 39 assists and five service aces to the winning cause. For the most part, the match was j blowout for the Mountaineers, who shut >ut the Lady Terriers 15-0 in the second natch. Wofford made an attempt at a comeback in the last match, forcing \ppalachian to score four extra points, before falling to the home teaqi 19-17. Wofford was led by Katie Adams vith nine kills, while Meredith Koslick idded eight for the Lady Terriers. Meredith Knox had 27 assists in the losing ause. Last Friday, the Mountaineers lefeated visiting Furman 3-1. Led by the lay of Paula Levay who had 19 kills, •ppalachian beat the lady Purple Paladins 5-11,16-14, 9-15,15-7. The 9-15 loss was te only game the Mountaineers have lost i the homestand. Appalachian State received aluable contributions from Lori Schott, cnnifer Rumfeldt and Stephanie Young, ho each made it into the double digit alumn with 10 kills each. Christine fendell also added 48 assists. Furman gave the Mountaineers a ither hard time with the 9-15 loss and im victories of 15-11, 16-14. However, f the time the fourth had rolled around, Purple Paladins spirit was broken. As result they dropped the game 15-7. With the two victories in hand, he volleyball squad has evened out their ecord at 9-9. Up next for the Mountaineers will be non-conference foe Vinthrop Tuesday night, who will make he trip up the mountain from Rock Hill, .C. The Appalachian State men's soccer team was dealt another blow Saturday in Statesboro, Ga, as Georgia Southern, 9-1-1 on the season, defeated the Mountaineers 2-0, marking the Eagles' second consecutive shutout. The win was the seventh consecutive for the Eagles, who hold a 6-3 lead in their series with Appalachian. The teams remained tied at zero for most of the first period. Georgia Southern's Jeremy McClure broke the stalemate at the 29-minute mark, scoring off a Tim Blom assist to put the Eagles up 1-0. ,,, Following the trend set in the first period, scoring was non-existent for most of the second half as well. Until the Georgia Southern scoring tandem of Tim Blom and Jeremy McClure proved effective again. Assisted by Blom, the sophomore McClure found the back of the net in the final six minutes of the contest, constructing a 2-0 victory for the Eagles. The Mountaineers shot the ball 11 times Saturday, twice more than in their past two contests combined. Appalachian's three week road trip is now more than halfway over. The Mountaineers will travel south Thursday to take on UNCAsheville. An Oct. 14 visit to the Keydets of VMI will cap off their fivegame road stint. The Mountaineers will return to Kidd Brewer Stadium to host firstyear Southern Conference member UNC-Greensboro on Wednesday, Oct. 17. Following that, the Mountaineers will have just five matches left before the Southern Conference Tournament, which gets underway Nov. 4.

Lady Mountaineeer soccer ends scoring drought ^avid Jackson >taff Writer The Appalachian State women's team saw two streaks come to an 'd in Friday night's match against UNC iheville.

Unfortunately, the goal would not to be enough, as UNC Asheville U'or Kara Strehle netted two goals in the ntest, lifting the Bulldogs to a 2-1victory. le loss marked the first time this season at ^ Mountaineers (3-5-2,1-1-1) tallied ?°al, but did not record the win. "We played real hard for the first | tninutes, got the goal, and then relaxed et them (UNC Asheville) get back into game," Appalachian head coach Ben 0ve Popoola said following the contest. Brooks' goal put the Mountaineers in the lead early in the contest. Junior Allison Osborne lofted a corner kick at the 16:23 mark that caromed off the leg of freshman Sara Daliey, falling in front of Brooks, who then snuck the ball past Bulldog goalie Christine Geske. "I was just in the right place at the right time," Brooks said. "Allison's (Osborne) kick was in a great spot and I managed to get an open shot in front of the net." The Bulldogs knotted the score at 1-1 shortly before halftime. Strehle connected on her first goal of the evening, off a pass from forward Mackenzie Miller, at the 42:53, pushing the ball past outstretched Mountaineer goalie Leslie Beckman. Beckman, who did not start the contest, subbed in for junior Allison Wahl after she went down with a leg injury at the 42:00 mark. The second half saw both teams' defenses hold each other in check. The Appalachian backfield of Katie Hand, Christine Monica, and Becky Neal kept the Bulldog forwards from getting into a favorable scoring position. With time running down in regulation, the Bulldog connection of Strehle and Miller would strike again, netting the game winner at the 83:25 mark, sealing the UNC Asheville victory. Despite the loss, the Mountaineer offense showed signs of being back in sync after the four game scoring lapse. Along with the goal from Brooks, Appalachian see Soccer on page 8 Ashton Robinson closes in for the kill, (photo by Melissa Henao-Robledo) �The Appalachian • Page 8 The Appalachian see Soccer on page 8 moved the ball on offense well, returning to their slick passing style that proved successful at the beginning of the season. "After we let them get back in the game like that, I think we just lost our composure, and that led to us losing the game," Popoola said. On netting her first career goal in the contest, Brooks added: "It was a great feeling when 1 saw that ball hit the back of the net. I just wish that, as a team, we could have won tonight. It was a tough game to lose." Appalachian battles Southern Conference opponents in four of their final six contests, beginning with East Tennessee State tomorrow night. The Bucs, in their first year as a Division I soccer program, have defined the term "struggling on offense", netting only five goals in their first eleven matches. Three of their five scores came in a 3-1 victory over Belmont, which lifted their overall record to 1-10 on the season. Appalachian's remaining conference matches will take place away from Boone, as the team travels to Wofford, Furman, and Chattanooga. The Mountaineers have split two previous matches with Wofford and took three contests from Chattanooga last season. Appalachian has only downed Furman one time in seven previous encounters.

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

Two minutes and 49 Appalachian started out the second half with the ball.

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

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

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

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

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

The first class, notably the old folks, on the whole are alright. Sometimes you'll run across the hostile breed of old farts who think that the world owes them something just because they can remember the neolithic age and have a senior citizen's discount. Avoid this small sect of class one. The only real problem I could see with old folks is that they might make it to the speed limit in their yacht-sized Cadillacs if a bolt of lightning shot up their tail-pipe. But hey, they don't care, they're retired. They can take life as slow as they want to, it's all down hill for them anyway. These are usually the people who still thought Indians lived in teepees and said, "How, white-eye." When I worked on the Cherokee Reservation, I was questioned several times if I was Indian (Native American) and if it was legal for me to work there.

McAlisteris comments are in regular type while Padgett's are in italics. Welcome to the inaugural run of the "Everybody's a Critic" movie reviews. My name is Chad McAlister and this is Brandon Padgett. Hello. The first movie to go un­ der our tandem microscope is the 20th Century Fox Movie Network production The Edge." Chuck's Miserable Rotten Life by Chuck Cundiff The film stars Anthony Hopkins, Alec Baldwin, and film veteran Bart the Bear. The movie begins with the billionaire mogul Charles Morse (Anthony Hopkins) accom­ panying his loving super model wife Mickey (Elle Macpherson) on a photo shoot in rustic Alaska. I ' m sure she married him for love. Well maybe just his intel­ lect or wonderful personality. Anyway, the shoot is led by eager fashion photographer Robert Green (Alec Baldwin). A photo opt excursion leads to the inevitable stranding in the wilder­ ness of Charles, Robert, and Robert's flunky assistant (Harold Perenean). The three men are left with only Charles' theoretical knowledge of wilderness survival. While in the woods, the central plots, both psychological and dra­ matic, begin to evolve. First, Charles discovers that Robert has become a little too friendly with his wife (Maybe she didn't marry him for love). More!

Here lies the perfect con­ flict: will Charles, a regular Martha Stewart in the outdoors, help Robert, who is trying to steal his wife, survive in the forest, or will he simply allow him to erode in the wilderness? Second, sim­ ply for drama, the survivors are stalked during their brief layover by a 2,500- pound, blood-thirsty kodiak bear (Bart the Bear). Needless to say, their struggle for survival takes hold of every clich6 that has ever existed in a "lost in the wilderness" story. The men have to fight the ele­ ments and animals that nature sends them and deal with the de­ ception of camaraderie between them. Baldwin and Hopkins turn in average performances that leave no great impression on the viewer. There is, however, one performance that comes across as Oscar worthy. Bart the Bear eas­ ily becomes the star of the movie. Not since Chewbacca the Wookie has an oversized, furry creature commanded the screen and stole the spotlight from the highly-paid, prevalent actors. Extra loose. Extra comfortable. Men's Loose Fit Jeans What about Silent Bob? Duly noted. The anger that he shows during his chase scenes actually had me believing that he is in fact a bear.

On our scale of 1-5 (see sidebar) I give it a 3.5. Au contraire mon frere I give it a 2..5. It's hard for me to be­ lieve that two green socialites can be thrust into the wilderness and sud­ denly become a couple of modern day Grizzly Adams.

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

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

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

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

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

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

However, I think a lot more students would go to see these movies if they were being shown in a better venue.

And even when that does open, could a bagelry possibly fill up two movie the­ atres? What I propose is that APPS and the owner of Durango Bagel get together and figure out a way that APPS could show their movies there and in exchange, the owner of the ba­ gel shop could make part of the profit from the tick­ ets and get the business of having students eating his bagels and whatever other food he plans to serve for about two hours. I don't even eat bagels but I would go there and try some if a good movie like Chasing Amy were showing there. As long as the projector doesn't break.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

But Grigoriev and Tysinger did. Tysinger is rated as an ex­ pert by the United States Chess Federa­ tion (USCF). He said his love for the game "must be genetic" be­ cause his father and grandfather played. Tysinger began learning the game at the age of six.

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

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

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

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

Jerry Moore is 4-4 against the Bulldogs in his career; but only one win at The Citadel. The Bulldogs are coached by Don Powers, a former Catamount player. Powers is in his second season at The Citadel and lost his only game against Appalachian last year. Keys to the game will be the play of seniors Bake Baker and Gerard Hardy. Last week, Hardy rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown while Baker was 12 of 22 passing for 154 yards and a touchdown. Wide receiver Joey Gibson caught five passes for 70 yards against Eastern Kentucky and has 16 catches for 184 yards on the year. Last year against the Bulldogs, Appalachian only had 50 yards passing. Baker is averaging nearly 200 yards passing per game this season. Another key to the game will be the play of freshman wide receiver Daryl Skinner. Last week's efforts earned Skinner Southern Conference Freshman of the Week Honors. Skinner touched the ball twice last week and scored two touchdowns.

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

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

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

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

"We hope students are not just tolerating problems without reporting them," Reid said. This is the first time a prob­ lem of this sort has been experi­ enced, but there were similar system difficulties last year, Reid said. Parents could not get through to campus during cer­ tain times of the day, and some students had difficulty making local calls. Bell South installed NAR lines to eliminate this problem, said Reid. A number of states also changed their area codes with­ out reporting the change. As a result, some students may have trouble calling out of state, especially if they are un­ aware of the change. "Unless someone reports the change in area codes, the AT&T system will not recognize the problem," Reid said. Suzonna Schlenk, a fresh­ man from Asheville, said she has been affected by problems within the ACUS system and, as a fresh­ man, was unsure of how to handle problems she encoun­ tered. "I did not know what to do or even how to call long distance (when I first got here)," Schlenk said. "After I got the busy signal, I called the ACUS 800 number and they said it would take seven to eight minutes before someone could help me," she said. To avoid problems, some students* like freshman Jason Kovalcin of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., resort to other long-distance call­ ing means, "I did not want to deal with the code and trying to get through, so I use my own calling card," said Kovalcin. Upgrade from page 1 until after the transfer is complete, she said. Those limited Oct. 7-15will include offices of the registrar, cashier, and financial aid, Beach said. All changes to records will be noted by operators. However, changes will not be implemented and computerized until after SIS Plus is installed, she said. For example, students who call the phone registration system to drop a class during the Oct. 715 time frame will have their calls rereouted to the registrar's office, Beach said. Students will speak to an op­ erator, who will document the in­ formation as record until it can be updated within the new computer system, said Beach.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Mascots from around the country make Appalachian*s mascot look tame • Matt Bielejeski Columnist ~ Occasionally, I hear people on campus cracking on our mascot. Usually something like, "How in the hell did we get some bearded hillbilly to represent Appalachian State?" Well, I'm no rocket scientist, but considering he's a mountaineer and we live in the mountains, I think there's some sort of connec­ tion. Apparently, his name is Yosef. Where that name came from is anybody's guess. I would have chosen a classic mountain-type person name like Billy, Jim Bob, Bo or Cletus. Then again, that's probably why the administration didn't ask my opinion on the sub­ ject. To prove a point to the naysayers of our fair bearded hillbilly, there are institutions of higher learning that do have us beat as far as names go. Trust me. •The Battling Bishops- Ohio Wesleyan University •The Fighting Missionaries- Whitman College How in hell (or heaven in this case) did mem­ bers of the clergy get picked for school mascots?

Apparently every student thinks they're roy­ alty—at least until they figure out that just because you're noble doesn't mean you can grease the professor's palm. •The Running Rifles- University of South CarolinaSpartanburg Wow, the NRA really gave a lot of money to this school. But what does a rifle have to run from? •The Banana Slugs- University of California-Santa Cruz Of course. The rifles can run from the killer ba­ nana slugs on a rampage across the city. Kinda sounds like something Godzilla had to fight in a bad Japa­ nese B-movie. •The Blue Hens- University of Delaware •The Geoducks-Evergreen State While we're talking about mutant animals, how about some poultry?

I think I missed the correlation here. Turtles? Insurance? Anyone? Bueller? •The Moundbuilders- Southwestern College What? They're building mounds? Are these burial mounds of their vanquished enemies? Maybe I should be scared of these guys. •The Claim Jumpers- Columbia College Now wait a minute.

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

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

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

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

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

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

A loss against Eastern Kentucky versity Saturday afternoon would in an 0-2 start for the Mountaineers, r first since 1993. Head Coach Jerry Moore ihasized the importance ris week's matchup with 0-2 Colonels. "This is a game for us, a very big le for us," he said, latever kind of team we to become may very well ;e on our performance nst Eastern Kentucky." History is very much ASU's favor. The intaineers have compiled 5-10 record in home ners at Kidd Brewer ium, including 12 out of the last 14. y have also won 11 of their last 13 les played the Saturday following an date in the schedule. "I don't know what the open date ans until after the game," Moore said, 11 know that you can use all the time can get to prepare for Eastern itucky." It's possible that the open date provided Appalachian with a chance to revive a running game that totalled only 28 yards against Clemson two weeks ago. Kareem Young led the Mountaineer rushing attack with three carries for just 14 yards, while tailback Gerard Hardy was held to just10 yards on nine carries. The Apps need a big game from Hardy, who rushed for 121 yards and two touchdowns in ASU's 21-14 victory over EKU last season. look for sophomore wideout Joey Gibson to be a prime target. In his first career start, Gibson caught 11 passes for 114 yards against a stingy Clemson defense and became just the fifth Mountaineer to catch more than 10 passes in a game. This doesn't bode well for Eastern Kentucky, a team that has given up 58 points in its two losses. The Colonels will likely attempt to air it out against ASU. They are featuring a new quarterback in Simon Fuentes, and Rondel wideout Menendez shredded the Mountaineer defense last year for 97 yards and two touchdowns. Eastern Kentucky's two losses have come against in-state rival Western Kentucky and -Mountaineer Coach Jerry Moore Both Troy State. programs are ranked in the top 20 in most Appalachian would also like to Division I-AA division polls, with Troy see another big game from quarterback State being ranked number three in Bake Baker, who hit on 29 of 50 passes the nation for now the third straight Gerard Hardy catching a pass during ASU's 23-12 loss at for 292 yards and a touchdown against week.

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

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

The survey, commissioned by the University of North Carolina system's gen­ eral assembly, asked select sophomores to rate the university's performance in vari­ ous areas, including faculty performance, supplemental classroom assistance, cam­ pus safety and offices that exist to serve the student body. Survey results said the university had the system's highest ratings in the following categories: faculty dedication to student academic success; evaluation of instructors; overall education offered to students; registration services; financial aid services and staff effectiveness; cam­ pus food services; services for commut­ ing students; and university opportunities for development of leadership skills. Certain aspects of Appalachian faired poorly with students surveyed. Survey results said Appalachian State re­ ceived low ratings on its library services and on the effectiveness of graduate as­ sistants in the classroom. Director of Institutional Research and Planning Bobby Sharp said survey results are indicative of both positive and negative aspects of the university. "Clearly, we're doing some things right, some things students perceive as high quality," said Sharp. "But students also pointed out some places (needing) attention." Survey results will also be used to determine university funding. Sharp said the general administration will use the results as part of an incentive funding pro­ gram, through which schools will be finan­ cially rewarded to keep student ratings high. "Program improvement is a main focus," Sharp said. "(The survey) is not just a matter of making (the university) feel good; there are funds attached." All schools within the UNC system were asked to poll sophomores with 44 to 59 credit hours, 30 of which had been completed at the institution, said Sharp. This excluded transfer students as eligible sources, but Sharp said this was necessary for the survey. "We didn't want to (survey) transfers who hadn't had enough experience (at Appalachian) to be measured," he said. The survey was initiated by the general administration as a system-wide assessment tool, and Sharp said it is one of three surveys used to grade the university's performance in several catego­ ries. "(The survey) is part of the informa­ tion-gathering process at the administra­ tive level," Sharp said. Last spring marked the pilot year for the sophomore survey, but it joins surveys for incoming freshmen and outgoing se­ niors, both of which are conducted annu­ ally. Sophomores were added to the sur­ vey list because the general administra­ tion wanted another perspective, Sharp said. The survey focuses on a student's first two years at Appalachian and features questions associated with the general edu­ cation program. "We catch students coming out of their lower-level experience at (Appala­ chian). The senior (exit) survey focuses on the upper-level experience in their major area," Sharp said. Eligible sophomores were contacted through their academic adviser or through the mail. Junior Summer S. Wright of Greensboro demonstrates why ASU Food Services received high marks from sophomores, (photo by Melissa Henao-Robledo) Of approximately 1,100 distributed surveys, around 600 students returned us­ able information. Sharp said this was ap­ proximately a 55 percent return rate. • Next spring, the survey will con­ tinue, but Sharp said Appalachian may use SGA wants student body's input, support Weekly meetings can inform students, provide feedback for senate and cabinet Leslie Hitchcock Staff Writer Appalachian State Uni­ versity students may not have access to top secret White House information, but they can stay abreast of university issues by attending weekly Student Government Associa­ tion business meetings.

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

Obviously, the sorority claim is that sisters are, hould be, well-rounded individuals with mo­ tions reaching beyond parties and semiMis. Why isn't this aspect a greater part of the ,rity rush process? Why are prospective sisasked to wear pretty clothes and come to lern versions of the 1952 debutante Sunday al? Why do "old" sisters tempt rushers with »sy songs and cheers, practiced months in adce? This isn't Sesame Street—this is college, we would hope college women wouldn't want jin an organization with a teddy bear as its icot and a basketball cheer as its credo. Sororities were established over a century ago, perhaps the rush process follows extinct sograces. A modernized rush process should be gned for the modern woman, who, according nany, does not want to be judged simply on way she looks or on her perfect manners— nen today want equal treatment. If community service, campus involvement leadership skills are so high on the sorority irity list, why aren't applicants asked to write essay as part of the rush process? Applicants Id be judged not only on their appearance and lal skills, but also on their written communi­ on skills, leadership ideas and suggestions for ancement of the sorority. Sure, someone may dike they'd make a really sweet sister, but how ly "uncool" people are turned away from Greek each year—despite great philanthropic ideas? It is unrealistic to say sororities shouldn't ;e appearance and personality—those play a ' in any organization. But many rushers put i show worthy of an Academy Award. Do soties want the real deal or superficial women rested only in how to get frat guys? Greek organizations will always be scrutiid—outsiders will say Greeks convene only to e a good time. Meanwhile, insiders will de1 their position by saying, "Sure, we like to y, but we also had a blood drive last week was so gosh-darn successful. Can't you over' the bad stuff?" If sororities want to break the stereotypes that ound their organizations—that all sorority tare preoccupied with appearance and drinkf°r example—perhaps they should revise their fitment procedure. Until that day, surely they I be viewed negatively by the rest of us, espely the people who don't get a bid because of way they look.

I propose to install one of these messsage boards in the front and rear of the car to be used for communicating messages to other drivers. This is the 90's, folks. We don't need to rely on crude hand gestures and grunting like silverback gorillas to let someone know we're pissed! Use the new, electronic FoulFowl! Use technology to your advantage.

Use the keyboard to key in your favorite phrases (preferably while not driving) and access them with the touch of a button when needed! Before I get 30 letters from Peaceaholics Anony­ mous saying that I shouldn't encourage aggression on our nation's roads, let me address that statement now. The FoulFowl can also be used by caravaning tourist groups or families in a helpful manner, with such phrases as, "Do we take a left here?", "Mexican for dinner?", and "I hate Taco Bell." So the next time you're on the receiving end of someone's automobile aggression, make a mental note to get a FoulFowl installed soon. This wonder­ ful product will hit the stores just in time for Christ­ mas, the peak aggressive driving season. Nationalist propaganda is the root of war Emily Miller Columnist The ideology of the governing peoples of the United States of America does not allow the possi­ bility of peace. The system we have created and allowed to fester has only room for ideas like patrio­ tism and militarism. Each of these ideologies main­ tained by our government not only eliminates the possibility of peace but also creates a necessity for war and war-like themes throughout society. Patriotism, or loyalty to one's nation-state, teaches people to love one's country and to hate and demonize the most immediate enemy. In World War II we were taught to hate the Germans and the Japa­ nese. Yet, directly afterwards, Russia and China, who were our allies, became our enemies? Patriotism focuses on the good deeds done by one's nation and the bad deeds done by the enemy nation. This pro­ cess distorts the view of the enemy and thereby pro­ motes war. Similarly, militarism functions to promote war. A militarized society is based on the concept of fear. The people are in constant fear of the enemy to whom all of these missiles and nuclear warheads will be delivered. Since we are in such "constant danger", it is necessary for our war department to withhold in­ formation from the public out of fear that this mys­ terious enemy will discover our strategies and de­ feat us. The government does this under the blanket of "National Security". The Military Industrial Complex is systemati­ cally manipulating and propagandizing the Ameri­ can public by seeking out targets to pose as potential enemies in order to gain public approval, as well as admiration as they take more money, kill more people, and allow, even encourage the wars to con­ tinue. In a society where we are in constant danger of these imaginary enemies, the military takes pre­ cedence over all other organizations of people occu­ pying a vast amount of natural resources as well as most of the research talent. At the peak of the Cold War in 1988, the world­ wide military expenditure was $923 billion per year (World Military and Social Expenditures, R.L. Silvard, 50). The War Resistor's League published a flier with projections of the 1997 fiscal year budget based on the Budget of the United Sates Government, Fiscal Year 1996 in which 22% of income tax money is di­ rected to the current military expenditures and 30% of the income tax money is directed to past military expenditures. I find it very disturbing that over 50% of our income tax money is dedicated to protecting us from an enemy that we do not have. With these ideologies indoctrinating our people, how could we hope to be free of war? It is time that we decide to stop the fighting. This premise calls for a major overhaul not only in our policies but also, in our minds. I believe in peace through international­ ism, the unity of all men and active peace-making. The 1986 Seville Statement on the biological neces­ sity of war conducted by an international team of biologists, psychologists, ethnologists, and geneticists adopted the statement that follows. It is scientifically incorrect to say: we have in­ herited a tendency to make war from our animal ancestors, that war or any other violent behavior is genetically programmed into our human nature, vio­ lence is neither in our evolutionary ancestry, nor in our genes, that humans have a Violent brain', or that war is caused by instinct or any single motivation. "Internationalism does not mean the end of in­ dividual nations. Orchestras don't mean the end of violins." —Golda Meir 7" Letters to the Editor Drugs are ignored as problem To the Editor: I could say many positive things about my ex­ perience here in the United States, for example, the unique opportunity to meet people from all around the world, seeing new places and getting to know wonderful people but lately, I have no­ ticed a problem which I believe requires more at­ tention. How do I see this University? What is the per­ ception I have about the people? These are im­ portant questions because, like me, other exchange students return to their native countries and tell their families and friends what life is like in America. I wanted to get to know the soul of American culture but much more the intellect, because I be­ lieve this is the only way for me to grow person­ ally; to be able to touch the fiber of human nature in this country. That is why this problem strikes me so deeply. I am talking about the use and abuse of drugs. I had the good fortune to make many friends in the short time I've been here. However, I have pro­ found feelings because I observed talents in these friends which have gone to waste due to the use of drugs. They have potential in every aspect: intelligence, warmth and promising futures but they insist relentlessly on a virtual suicide, "con­ sciously" and systematically. The contact with the problem again reminds me of the questions I stated earlier as well as the one question I faced when I lost a friend to drugs. Why? But even worse, why does no one talk about it? Is it possible that you live it as a personal op­ tion? If this is so, I think it is a mistake because in the world of drugs, not everyone survives. If a person does survive, he or she may never be to­ tally complete again, emotionally, physically or in­ tellectually. If you don't care what's happening now, equally important to the ones who have strived maybe tomorrow you will have to say "my son is a for accomplishment. We live in a patriarchal so­ vegetable because he wanted to be" or "my girlfriend ciety that all too often undervalues the multitudes is dead because it was her personal decision" or "my of people who are less driven to be leaders or ath­ brother never finished school and is in jail because letes or dominat in some way over others. These that was his decision." I'm sure nobody wants this to people help to make up the colorful and diverse fabric of our communities and though their ac­ happen in his or her life.

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

Call for details To the editor: I thought that a convocation speech geared towards the fresh­ man class was a great idea. They represent over one-fourth of the undergraduate student body. The numbers alone make them signifi­ cant. At the same time, I didn't feel that Julia Alvarez left anyone out in her speech. I was very im­ pressed with the wide range of people she quoted thus enabling listeners, familiar and unfamiliar with her work, to relate to her talk. If, as you say, Appalachian's message to the freshman class was, "Excuse us, let us tell you how to think," by having them read (Alvarez's novel), they certainly picked the wrong novel. This novel allows readers to expand their small-town USA ideas and think about things that most of us have never encountered.

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

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

He told his band members, £ts be on David Letterman." Evan is unsure of when Jump Little lildren will return to Boone or nearby 1 funding cities. His advice to his fans Js to look out for their web page that °uld be coming out soon or go to aipLC@aol.com to find a list of conn dates. J Page 5 The band and the crowd weren't the only ones jumping Thursday night. A group of local guys called Weekend Ex­ cursion jumped at the opportunity to open theshowthat theyalmost stole. E v e n without a sound check, Weekend Excur­ sion rocked Legends as the opening band for Jump Little Children, prompting a crowd of about 100 to dance in front of the stage and compelling a few of the wilder, braver fans to try stage diving (with little success.) Weekend Excursion consists of six, easy to talk to, laid-back, yet dedicated, guys. The band has four members that attend Appalachian, Chris Groch on lead guitar, Jeff Foxworth on rhythm guitar, Cas Edmens on drums, and Danny Donavan on bass guitar. Aaron Shephard, the band's lead singer, goes to UNC-Greensboro and the violinist, Mike Ferry, goes to UNC-Chapel Hill. In between being full time college stu­ dents and having two members a good driving distance apart, when do they have time to practice? Well, they don't. They get together once a month and work on writing new songs and on practicing some of the old ones. Their other time to practice is during the gigs they have lined up almost every weekend. They basically have one show. But they get away with it since they play at a variety of places for different crowds. You could never tell from hearing them play last Thursday that they're pressed for prac­ tice time. The band has played together for about two and a half years. All except for Mike, went to the same high school. Mike met Chris at their church youth group and joined the band in 1995. The band does not write down any of their music and usually improvises a lot of it on stage. They sometimes do cov­ ers of other bands such as Dave Matthews Band, Bare naked Ladies, Jimmy Hendrix, and Notorious B.I.G. At Thursday night's concert, the band played 11 original songs. People in the audience compared Weekend Excursion to Hootie and the Blowfish or to the Dave Matthews band. Whomever they resemble, Weekend Excursion is on the road to making a name for themselves. The band recorded a CD this past sum­ mer in Durham. When asked about their future plans, Aaron, the lead singer, said, "[We're] tryin' to move on up, get as far as possible and take it as far as it goes." Weekend Excursion will be playing in Winston Salem at Ziggys with Life in Gen­ eral, Oct. 7. They will hit Boone again Oct. 18 at Klondike and Nov. 8 at Rafters.

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

Two of these organizations which serve the local community and offer internships are the Hun­ ger Coalition and the Hospitality House. The Hunger Coalition says that its mission is to relieve fami­ lies and individuals who are pov­ erty stricken and hungry in a com­ passionate manner. The program offers help to those with immedi­ ate, but temporary, needs. Funding comes from founda­ tions and grants both within and outside North Carolina. Watauga County, the Town of Boone, United Way, and the faith Communities are represented in the Watauga County chapter There are three staff members that run this non-profit organiza­ tion. Many professionals, includ­ ments. At the Hospitality House, staff and volun­ teers "help folks get back on their feet!" The direc­ tor of the organization, Jim Thompson, said that he is devoted to that cause. With three meals served a day, an estab­ lished curfew for residents, a signed contract required for residency, resident evaluation periods, chore responsibilities, laundry services, and religious ser­ vice options, the Hospital­ ity House educates the homeless on how to be­ come productive citizens again. Both the Univer­ sity and Boone support the Hospitality House. Food Services on campus donate leftovers at the end of the day to the Hospitality House. Fast food chains and restaurants in the area do the same. In the past, they have joined efforts with fraternities and so­ rorities to organize benefit events. Four radio sta­ tions and three newspa­ pers in the Boone area do promotional work for the Hospitality House. Companies interview students for internships early though.

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

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

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

All concentrations consist of an intensive eight-month curriculum including classroom and on-the-job training with an emphasis in providing excellent service to our clients. High-performance banking underscored by integrity and service excellence— it's the foundation for success at BB&T. !fyou are a highly . motivated professional who would thrive in an environment where initiative is recognized and achievement is • The Commercial Concentration prepares individuals for commercial lending, financial services and business development responsibilities as well as financial analyst roles. • The Retail Concentration prepares individuals in retail lending and financial services, operations, small business banking, and branch management. • The Trust Concentration prepares individuals in trust product knowledge and investments, portfolio management ana estate and financial planning. • The Insurance Concentration prepares individuals in insurance product knowledge, management, sales and supDort functions while honing skills and knowledge through technical and analytical projects. To qualify for the MDP, potential candidates must have a Bachelor's degree in a business-related major, six to nine hours of accounting with a strong academic record and the ability to relocate to bank locations within NC, SC, and VA. To apply, please contact your career services office to register for: To my relief, though, Mangold's work is high quaility, and Stallone's performance almost entirely redeems him for years of cheesy action movies. The film takes place in Garri­ son, New Jersey, a town just across the Hudson River from New York City. The town is populated almost entirely by New York City police officers who have come there to escape the everyday madness and violence of the city. But instead of protecting the public, they turn to lawlessness. Stallone plays the sheriff of the town who faces a moral dilemma. He must choose between the loy­ alty he feels toward his friends in the town, and his civic duty to curb their illegal activities. Harvey Keitel plays a corrupt cop intent on preserving the lifestyle he has created in Garrison, and Ray Liotta plays a cocaine addict. Both give excellent performances. Robert de Niro's part is small, but crucial to the plot, and his acting is as flaw­ less as usual. Method Man, a.k.a Johnny Blaze from the Wu-Tang Clan also makes a cameo. He plays a crazed crackhead who wounds one police officer and kills another by throw­ ing him off a building quite con­ vincingly. I thoroughly enjoyed "Copland." It is well written, intelligent, and entertaining, and is edited and filmed extremely well. It is scary to see a group of actors who have played the role of ruthless gang­ sters so well in the past turn around and play the part of police officers so perfectly. It makes me wonder if the line between cop and criminal is really as thin as it seems in the movies. Go and see this movie while it is still playing in theaters. You will not be disappointeed. I give "Copland" four stars. INFORMATION SESSIONS Alonzo Drake, killed 3/17/91 at 10:53pm on Robbins Rd., Harvest, AL.

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

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

"I think it adds secu rity to the buildings in the morning," h said. "Without this program, resident (could) have a long period of time wher there was no one monitoring the build ing. I think it enhances the safety of th building for the residents," he said. �The Appalachian li s6pt( Page 2 Task force from page 1 Harris Teeter BE22S tmiUMfMCAW Your Neighborhood Food Market VISA Honey Nut Cheenos. >>'• v/cb •• . •• iff Total Moz.

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

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

How many times have you wit­ nessed a bar brawl or an act of physical violence with­ out first witnessing some form of verbal violence? People seem to pawn off verbal violence as "just words". Arguments have winners and losers because we see arguments as war. It would certainly be more peaceful and productive if we could develop an association between argument and compromise. Maybe, someday, even war could mean compromise. Peace is very much concerned with how we see the world. One way we view the world is through our language. We must determine if our language is war-promoting. To examine this, I looked up the words black and white in a thesaurus. The word black is synony- I, you, she, and he are often perceived as accusatoi synony­ c mous with words like darkness, evil, smudge, smut and isolating.

The American Cancer Society (ACS) such symptoms as breast changes, ln8 "a lump, thickening, swelling, . ln8. skin irritations, distortion, ren> scaliness, pain, tenderness of the nipple, or nipple discharge." If you feel you have any of these symptoms, see a doctor immediately. The ACS also recom­ mends that women have their first mam­ mogram by the age of 40. There's a variety of treatments. One option is having just the tumor removed, but sometimes a woman has to have the entire breast removed. This is called a mastectomy. New developments are be­ ing made every day in cosmetic surgery and prostheses, so women don't have to fear looking abnormal. But that's a heck of a price to pay when it could possibly be avoided. Susan said, "If I had checked myself every month, I would have found it sooner." Susan's advice to young people is "Get to know your body. Don't be embarrassed to check your breasts every month." Susan discovered her lump by pure accident. The type of cancer she had was considered to be an aggressive type. "There is no telling how long I had had the lump, and it had spread to my lymph nodes." "I was 39 years old at the time. There are women in their early 20's who have gotten breast cancer." Other treatments include chemo­ therapy, radiation therapy, and hormone manipulation therapy. Matt, a freshman at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro who also declined who have his entire name printed, is a cancer survi­ vor who was treated through chemo­ therapy. Matt said, "I thought it was funny because' chemotherapy was supposed to make me feel better, but it made me feel awful. I felt completely dead after a treat­ ment. I lost all the hair on my body." It changed his appetite a lot. He can't eat sweet stuff anymore. "It makes your sense of smell so keen. I could smell perfume all the way down the hospital hall and it would make me sick." If you detect breast cancer early, chances are very good that you'll survive and lead a normal life. The American Cancer Society reports that the five-year survival rate for localized breast cancer has risen from 78 percent in the 1940s to 94 percent today. It is extremely important to do selfexaminations on a regular basis, because if the cancer has metastasized at the time of diagnosis, you only have an 18 percent chance of survival. Breast cancer and its detection are serious matters. Please check out your family's medical history and remember to do a self-examination at least once a month. Over 46,000 women died of breast cancer in 1995. Don't become a statistic, and don't forget that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Wear a pink ribbon to show your support! Breast self-examination guide Womenwho regularly examine their breasts are likely to discover a lump by the time that it reaches a diameter of 1/2 inch, whereas women who do not wil most likely not find a lump until it reaches a diameter of 11/2 inches. Follow these simple steps to help detect a lump quickly. 1. Get to know yourself The better you know your breasts, the more likely you are to notice any irregularities. Take note of their shape and size and the color and texture of your skin. Remember, it is normal for one breast to be larger. Your breasts will also naturally change in shape and size with age. Repeat the process with your arms above your head, hands on your hips and while bendingforward. 2. Lie down to examine your right breast Lay with a pillow under your right shoulder. Bend your arm back at a 90 degree angle. The area within the dotted line is where you need to concentrate. Pay extra attention to the shaded area. 3. Use the padded area of your fingers to examine your breast Use your middle three fingers on your left hand to make small, circular motions on your right breast. Concentrate on the area outlined with the dotted lines. 4. Do the same with vertical strips Make vertical motions with the same three fingers, feeling for any lumps or irreularities. Start at the armpit and move just below the breast. You should cover the entire exam area with up and down motions, from your collar bone to just below the breast. 5. Relax your arm and examine your armpit Your breasts extend into your armpit s as well. Relax your left arm at your side and examine your armpit for any irregularities. 6. Check for fluids coming from your nipple Squeeze your nipple gently. Any fluid coming from your nipple should be reported to your doctor immediately. 7. Repeat steps 2-6 with your left breast Many women repeat the examination while in the shower or bath. Also, if you do discover a lump don't panic. 80 percent of lumps are not cancerous.

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

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

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

The newest proposal by baseball owners, to re-align the leagues by region so that teams which lie close to each other geographically will not only be in the same division but the same league, is far-fetched. This plan, if put into effect, would destroy many of the traditions and rivalries baseball is famous for.

Topics and dates for September are: I sat down yesterday to gather my thoughts and to prepare what I would say tonight. But it soon became apparent to me that I had very few thoughts to gather, or at least I was having difficulty coming up with the right thoughts. This disturbed me. Sept. 15 Sept. 22 Sept. 29 I felt that surely there wassome powerful and meaningful message thatI could share with you. After all, this is the seventh or eighth time I have spoken at the walk for awareness, and I've always felt good about my message each year. But still, I came up with nothing. So I did what I always do when I'm having trouble thinking and need to clear my head-I went running.

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

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

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

Dougherty Admin­ istration Building, a burning question ran through my head: What inspired these people to give up an evening and participate in a silent walk across campus? When I asked some students for a reason, I received some pre­ dictable answers: nearly every female I spoke with came to the Walk as advo­ cates of women's safety. Most of them had heard the stories of Jeni Gray and Leigh Cooper Wallace, and perhaps this made them view the Walk as an oppor­ tunity to raise awareness of violence against women. However, the sampling of males I talked to had a different view of the Walk for Awareness. While some were required to be there for a Freshmen Seminar class and others were there simply to see what the fuss was about, a majority of men I spoke to were there "because my girlfriend made me (come)." Two men I interviewed don't even attend classes here; they came to Boone to see their girlfriends for the evening and were told they couldn't have private time with their ladies if they didn't walk. Of the men I spoke with, no one said they were walking to support the rights of men or to advocate men's safety. Now, perhaps it's silly to think anyone would walk for such a thing; after all, men can take care of themselves, right? No, I don't think so. Vice Chancellor for Student Development Barbara Daye, who coordinates the event each year, told me the focus of the Walk changes annually. Daye said the focus shifted somewhat this year because the man who killed Jeni Gray and abducted Leigh Cooper Wallace recently died in prison. Daye and other Walk organizers felt this closed the door on one aspect of the Walk—the part that focused on the victimization of Gray and Wallace. As a result, this year's Walk was centered around moving ahead, a theme evident in Wallace's remarks on considering herself a survivor rather than a victim and in a song performed by the BSA Gospel Choir entitled "Never Turning Back." When I asked Daye if she thought students would have a particular reason to walk, she described the decision to walk as a personal one. In essence, each person who walks should have a personal reason for participating. Now, perhaps the men I spoke with wanted to be at the Walk for Awareness for different reasons, but hid behind the girlfriend excuse simply to protect a macho image. That's certainly legitimate. But I encourage those who attended Last week I participated in the eighth annual Walk for Aware­ ness, a walk that shows that ASU students and faculty won't tolerate sexual violence. I attended last year's walk as a freshman and was deeply moved by the strong show of support from the crowd and from the faculty. It's one thing to say that ASU students should feel safe walking across campus at night. It's something else when people ac­ tually get off their can and do something about it. Critics may say that the Walk is just that; a walk, just people parading around and not saying anything. It's so much more though; every year thousands of ASU students gather together to increase awareness of sexual assault. As the Walk convened at the Administration building, various speeches were given and then it began. As I turned around to watch the Chancellor lead the way, I almost fell over. Hundreds of people were behind me, extending from the Administration building past the statue of D.D. Dougherty that looks like Gandhi. When the crowd moved up past the post office and onto King Street, the blue lights from police cruisers reflected off the faces of the people who cared enough to walk. Once we arrived at the Jones house, more speeches were given, most nota­ bly by Leigh Cooper Wallace, the survivor of a sexual assault by Jeni Gray's killer. This year's speech wasn't contrived and wasn't a rehash of last year's speech. It was an honest portrayal of what she felt; that she wasn't a victim anymore, but a survivor. As the speeches were being given, pamphlets were distributed that had some statistics on sexual assault as well as the words to "Never Hirning Back", a song performed by the Gospel Choir. The most important part of the pamphlet was a list of New Year's Resolutions. These resolutions are what the Walk for Aware­ ness is all about. Many of the speakers advocated resolutions like not standing by when a sexually degrading joke is told, or getting involved in a situation where someone could be in danger. Participants were urged if they see someone walking alone at night, to ask them to join your group for safety. A resolution board was posted outside of the Student Union for public display. All this talk of resolutions got me thinking about what I could do to help. After much thought, I finally concluded that I could make myself more accessible to my female friends who need to cross campus at night. When I'm walking alone at night across campus and I see a group of females, I make a conscious effort not to follow too closely. If I can take an alternate tunnel under Rivers Street, I do. It's a small thing, but whatever I can do to make anyone feel a little less stressful about walking on campus at night, I'll gladly do. How about you?

For those who failed to pay attention to this landmark juncture in the everlasting labor/employer dispute, here is a very brief synopsis: UPS workers, being more than satisfied with their hourly wages, were instead upset about their lack of full-time employment and hence their lack of fringe benefits (i.e. medical/dental insurance). Their con­ sequent strike was a direct result this dissatisfaction. Their 15 day strike resulted in the eventual collapse of UPS into submission and consequently threatened the economy of innumerable businesses and organizations across the United States. Had it persisted, it would have certainly resulted in wide­ spread inflation among certain industries. If the economic aspects of this strike seem very pompous and egocentrical, perhaps a psychological analysis of worker mentality will put things into per­ spective. 1 "f A psychological theory referred to as relative served rights for workers, unions have become noth­ disparity is decidedly appropriate for this situation. ing more than a vehicle for satisfying a group's rela­ This theory dictates that human beings, no matter tive disparity collectively.

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

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

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

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

Both Baker, who was only sacked once, and Moore were more than impressed with the play of the inexperienced group led by senior Shawn Clark. Another bright spot for the Mountaineers in the loss was the play of special teams, a question mark com­ ing into the season. Placekicker Chris Barden was twofor-two on field goal attempts despite having one partially blocked. Punter Jeff Marr av­ eraged 39 yards per punt on seven tries, including one that went 56 yards and was fumbled by Tony Home for a 19-yard loss.

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

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

Getting into the swing of things The Mountaineers gear up for the 1997 campaign Brook Clark Staff Writer With eight starters returning from last year's conference championship winning squad, things are looking up for Appalachian State field hockey this year. Throughout the 1997 season, coach Cathy Burleson will rely on the leadership and play of stand out seniors Katie Shulzitski, Jodie Crystal, Miki Bingham, Kim Rohors, Kathryn Pearson and Anne-Mieke Menkveld. With two starting seniors out due to injuries, the freshmen on this team won't be able to sit back and let the upperclassmen do all the work. Burleson is counting on great play from them as well, namely goalie Chelsea Dailey. After last year's strong finish, this year's team aims to continue the winning streak. The schedule is tough with at least three of their opponents ranking in the top 20 including Duke, Wake Forest and Virginia. Also on the schedule is rival Davidson, whom the Apps beat twice last year, once during the season and once during the conference tournament.

Ashley Wooten Staff Writer The great and mighty ball owners think they need a tic plan to save baseball. The uus owners have discussed lS that would change the ;nt game to a spiffy, new and oved game. Does baseball really need vior? Acting Commissioner Selig and other owners :ve something drastic needs to 3ne to combat low attendance •es. While they say they are trying to save the game, they probably just trying to pad wallets. Any math major will you that lower attendance als fewer dollars for the ers. Owners have been ling various ideas that will, in • opinion, improve the game, changes include the wildcard offs, three-division leagues interleague play. One of those changes is rleague play that began this r. Tor the most part, rleague play has been a ess. Games between the New ; Yankees and the New York s and the Chicago White Sox Chicago Cubs were sold out were praised by almost everyone as great for the game. Apparently though, interleague play is not enough to energize the sport. Owners have other ideas that could change Major League Baseball forever. The most controversial plan is a major realignment of both leagues. This plan calls for up to 14 teams to switch leagues, creating geographic leagues. The National League would be comprised of all the teams west of St. Louis. Every team east, including the Braves, would be in the American League. Under the radical plan, the National League West would consist of Anaheim, Los Angeles, Oakland, San Francisco, Colorado, Seattle and San Diego. The Central Division would include Texas, Houston, the Chicago Cubs and White Sox, Kansas City, St. Louis, Milwaukee and Minnesota. The American League would have an Eastern Division with Baltimore, Boston, Montreal, the Mets and Yankees, Phillies and Toronto. Atlanta, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit Florida, Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay would make up the other division. Major League officials pitched the plan to citizens in different polls. Pollsters asked people if they like the radical plan. Over half the people polled favored the plan. However, most of the people polled had never heard of the Florida Marlins or Colorado Rockies, teams that entered the NL in 1993. Even more did not realize the Arizona Diamondbacks and Tampa Bay Devil Rays, two expansion teams, are to enter the major leagues next year. Since the poll results were released, support for the plan has dwindled. Many baseball experts such as Chris Berman of ESPN and Dave Costas of NBC have not favored the plan. I do not favor the plan. I prefer the tradition of teams like the Braves and Yankees in the World Series. Moving teams from their leagues only lessens the tradition of the great game. Many people would argue that the wild card teams, threedivision leagues and interleague play ruined tradition. I can see their point, but those plans are not as radical as this major realignment. . I can see positives with the radical realignment. Less travel for the players and more geographically oriented rivalries come to mind. These advantages may seem great, but fan interest will eventually wane with the new plan. I admit attendance to games this year is low. But I do not believe there is any problem with the game. Many fans avoid the ballpark because they still resent the baseball strike of 199495. I wish there could be a quick fix to make baseball America's favorite sport again. I do not believe this radical realignment is the best thing for baseball. I just hope the owners make a decision that is best for the fans, and not their wallets.

However, Kelly said the club will undergo an outside transformation and will soon be equipped with a new bar and cooler systems to provide faster, more efficient service. Inside the club, Kelly said the ca­ pacities of the bar and of cooler sys­ tems are being increased, meaning more room for alcohol storage and see Legends on page 2 Construction progress slow but constant, Helm says Health Service Hours The Counseling and Psycho­ logical Services Center will conduct sessions of "Lunch with Uncle Sigmund" beginning Sept. 8 at 12 p.m. in the New River Room of the student union.

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

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

Outer renovation of Legends has not yet begun, but Kelly said plans for an overhaul are in the works. The building is in need of a face-lift because the current blue wood exterior is decomposing, ac­ cording to Kelly. "It's deteriorating, and it looks bad for the university," he said. "It looks shabby." The club has had the same look since it was remodeled from a grocery store in the 1960s, and Kelly hopes a new brick exterior will blend with the more modern style of the newer buildings on ASU's campus.

Your freshman year is the time you need to ^ ay at school the most anyway. You're not going to eet new people if you keep running home. It :u*|ould do the kids good. No freshman cars. Another option is to lease a plot of land that is eady equipped with some kind of parking facili:s. From what we've heard through the grape* tie, there's such a spot at the old Brendle's. That's 1 s > further away than State Farm and the AppalCart tes by it already. But there's probably things that ® ; don't know about that would prevent this choice • ^ ict of land from become a state of the art parking % for ASU. How much is carpooling encouraged to faculty id staff, anyway? That's a very underestimated eans of reducing congestion. Students wouldn't :ec; hurt to do the same. Less gas, less everything. ® iu just can't lose. fe Hey, build a train station, or a bus station. Lis>>Ii n up Gus and don't miss the bus. Greyhound is >8 or less, yeah. Dish out the bucks to encourage lussing company to move up to the Boone-docks lere we really need their capacity. There's lots of who would just as soon not drive home. Some us like the idea of being cramped into a smelly, haust ridden cabin for hours. And let's not forget e bathrooms. Phew! How about the university sponsoring some sort weekly shuttle to a regional airport or bus sta­ in, heck even a train station? There's bound to one (or all of the above) in some central locam in the Triad. The university has the AppalCart. >w about the AppalShuttle? Aim high, guys. Right now the university has parking spaces nited at the Holiday Inn to accommodate the lack space on campus. The parking deck will start conuction after spring semester and even more parkl will be taken away. There is no easy solution to the parking probn and it will get worse in the coming year. The 3id growth to ASU is inevitable and Boone will ve to be on the lookout for new ideas to cope th the expansion. Parking will have to be dealt >ng with increasing enrollment, lack of space, viormental concerns and the size of Boone. Was Boone meant to handle over 30,000 ople? That may be a little high but some officials ink that ASU will be as big UNCChapel Hill.

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

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

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

Thomasson | Staff Writer It's love, Breedlove that is. Barbie jreedlove received a promotion, becomng the head coach of women's basketball it Appalachian State. Breedlove has been an assistant jj vith the Mountaineers for the past 11 seajns under former head coach Linda obinson, who resigned on July 11 to take • position in the Equity Office at Appala­ chian State. She must now fill the shoes 311 j jf Robinson, the winningest women's bas­ ketball coach in Mountaineer history. trai Jreedlove said, "We are best friends and 10 one respects Linda more than I do." Upon hearing of the hiring of her lose friend and former assistant, tobinson said, "I am so proud for her and II j( the 11 hour interview session, the commit­ tee "really got to know me and how much I cared for the university and the commu­ nity." In a year in which many expect this season to be a rebuilding one, Breedlove said, "Yes, technically it is, but it's still important to have high expecta­ tions." But how far can a team with no seniors and only three juniors go? Breedlove said, 'The goals for this year are to be competitive for the regular sea­ son championship and the tournament championship." Breedlove's coaching style will be very much like Robinson's, but she plans on running a few more offensive set plays. The Mountaineers will continue to be ag­ gressive with their man-to-man defense. They plan to continue to run their up­ tempo motion offense. "I expect the jun­ iors (Erica Mathies, Beth Schoolfield and ' Tamara Stewart) to step up this season and be leaders on and off the court," said Breedlove. " The sophomores will also have to step it up an extra level also." The recruit­ ing class is one of the best that Breedlove has ever seen at Appalachian. There will be five freshmen joining the Mountaineers this season, three of which played in the North Carolina EastWest All Star game. 'The freshmen will get a lot more playing time than freshmen normally do, especially since they make up half of the team," Breedlove said. Barbie Breedlove is from Asheville and is a graduate of Brevard College. She also attended Springfield College before getting her master's at Appalachian. She was an assistant at UNC-Asheville. Prior to that she was an assistant coach for five years at A.C. Reynolds High School in Asheville. She is expected to 11U111V, U third VRTJ/V-V-LVU IV/ name a assistant head coach next week.

Clemson records and rushed for 1,345 Clemson should have a strong yards last season to become the school's lefense against the run considering five all-time rushing leader. One problem Clemson has had in the past is not being able to complete vital passes. For example, in 1996 the Tigers couldn't beat Louisiana State University in the Peach Bowl because of the passing problem. The most troublesome area for the Tigers is their secondary. Due to the youth present in the secondary, Clemson will be susceptible to big plays. However there is experience in Clemson's defensive backfield. Leading a foursome of experienced players is strong safety Antwan Edwards. In order for the Mountaineers to have a chance of sneaking out of Death Valley with a victory, they will have to capitalize on Clemson's mistakes. However, this series has had little to do with Clemson's mistakes. ~ftrO r*» i ! •* 96' VJ - SH A ~ rS 4 )l r * !U • - •' ; * Jr-j**. • < 2 Appalachian defensive stand out Jackie Avery prepares for Clemson (Photo by omen s Soccer: Not the same game in '97 • )avid Jackson Staff Writer The Appalachian State University 'omen's soccer team ended the1996 seaon a bit of a sour note.

The Mountaineers lost two players from last year's squad, and with six newcomers to add to the mix, ASU should have excellent depth this year.

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

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

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

According to the ASU ath­ letic department, Byrd is practic­ ing with the football team.

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

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

Appalachian State University will never be a truly However, for a university which boasts the third respected institution until it places scholarly issues highest ranking in academic prowess among North in the forefront and business issues on the back Carolina universities, there is no reasonable excuse burner. What could they be doing in there? Everything you wanted to know (and didn ft) about women's bathrooms Matt Bielejeski Columnist My article this week is focused on the perspec­ tive of the male reader. Females may be slightly of­ fended by this piece. If so, you can't take a joke and need months of therapy. Chuck and his best friend Ron are having dinner with their respective others, Cordelia and Lulabelle. Dinner is a special occasion, as today marks each couple's five month anniversary. Appetizers have already been devoured and the prime ribs are on their way. Suddenly, Lulabelle excuses herself to the ladies' room, and Cordelia immediately follows. Ron and Chuck are left to discuss football, pork rinds and microbrewing until the females return to elevate the level of conversation. Has this ever happened to you? A pleasant din­ ner is occurring, then the migration begins. What most people don't know is this: the communication between females at a dinner table is very similar to CIA operatives. The first female who feels to urge to go to the "powder room" employs a number of techniques to alert her female companions to the impending exo­ dus. The first step is eye contact. The initiating fe­ male, hereafter referred to as the "culprit", scans the eyes of all available females at the table, hoping to catch their attention. After their attention has been captured, the culprit uses a series of winks, glances toward the restroom area, and various facial contor­ tions to signal her intent. If the eye contact is not working well, the culprit moves on to step two: footsie. It is at this stage that men developed the idea that footsie is some sort of sexual game. However, this misconception was due to incorrect footsie applications by the culprit. Footsie used for its true purpose is a very difficult signaling technique to master. This is why it can be used in­ correctly so easily. Proper footsie use involves tap­ ping the other female's shins in the Morse Code sig­ nal for S.O.S. A signal this complex can easily be misapplied, resulting in the rubbing of male legs in the attempt to communicate the message. Step three is the least used and most dangerous step, nicknamed "the Clumsy One." Usage of this step almost always includes the culprit having to foot the dry cleaning bill of some sort. To effectively use the Clumsy One, the culprit must have unsuccessfully attempted the first two steps twice each, both to no avail. At this point, she selects a male victim. Once the victim is selected, the culprit must ex­ amine the dinner table and choose a food or condi­ ment that can easily be knocked onto the unsuspect­ ing victim. Items such as ketchup, mashed potatoes or mixed drinks work well here. Using her arm, hand or any other needed appendage, the culprit "acciden­ tally" douses the selected victim with the chosen food or food condiment. As the male rises to go to the men's room to try and eliminate the stain, the fe­ males bolt for the ladies' room, using the chaos cre­ ated by the "accident" as a backdrop for their true purpose. Once the herd of females have entered into the bathroom en masse, the ritual application begins. Right next to the soap dispenser at the sink is a simi­ lar dispenser which has a blue-looking liquid con­ tained within. This dispenser is the reason that women go to the bathroom in groups: easy applica­ tion of the Cure for Baldness. The Cure for Baldness, developed in 1900 by a woman scientist named Dr. Susan Powters, gives the user's hair follicles a jump-start for hair production. In short, a hair-growing steroid. Think about the number of bald men in the world compared to the number of bald women. This ratio is staggeringly lopsided. The reason? The Cure for Baldness, of course. Now that the women have arrived at the hair sanctuary that is the ladies room, the application process begins. In order for the Cure to be applied evenly and without blotchiness, someone must help the applicant get the spots on the back of their head that they cannot see, hence the need for women go­ ing to the bathroom in groups. Without others to help the applicant, the applicant's head could re­ semble Papa Smurfs own blue chrome-dome, result­ ing in male comments about the blue substance that would lead to discovery and eventually mass-mar­ keting of the product for male use. So now, when you're at dinner and the females start getting jumpy, you can smile to yourself and be self-assured that you actually know what's going on in there. Of course, now that this article is published, the Hair Club for Men will start secret operations involving cross-dressing undercover agents to obtain a sample of the Cure.

I am hearing nasty rumors that the As the article implies, there are 82 students, the majority if not all of which are freshmen, living in temporary or crowded living con­ ditions. I would imagine this would make for a bad college ex­ perience, which would thus lead to a higher number of transfers or dropouts and would require in the next year to import more freshmen to keep up quota. Since returning students get priority, the housing committee which won 'Best Lawn' three years in a row would be forced to house the horde of in­ coming freshmen in the pool's locker room and somehow cause the world to convert to cannibalism. It seems that those innocent envelopes were the folly of this school. Instead of seeing freshmen comfortably and sanitarily moved in, and actually providing a place for them to stay, this institution is focusing on merely getting fresh­ men enrolled. "We'll just admit thousands to get up to par now and figure out where they will be staying for the next year later." "You know, Jenkins, freshmen are known for their resiliency; studies show they can fit into shoe boxes...It's all so convenient really, since we don't have enough space for them in the first place."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Student parking assign­ ments have been reassigned to accommodate the large number of incoming freshmen and re­ turning students who wish to bring cars to Appalachian, Tugman said. According to Tugman, previous policies allowed fresh­ men to park at State Farm and Horn in the West parking lots.

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

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

Never eat right before a class or you'll go right to sleep. Get your books early to avoid long lines. Simi­ larly, never go to eat at the prime dining hours of 121 p.m. or 5-7 p.m. That is, unless you like long lines or are starving. Avoid burning food if you must eat late at night. You run the risk of being ravaged by the other resi­ dents of your dorm for the friendly fire alarm. If you must drink, do it in moderation. Excess in any­ thing is stupid. Besides, no one likes a drunken ass. If your friends get plas­ tered and you're not, take care of them. Believe me, they will re­ turn the favor. Take time to talk to mom and dad. They appreciate it. Never, never, never do anything you don't want to do. Don't be pressured into something you're suspicious about. Your gut instinct will probably be right.

Two big plusses already. Also, it can get really boring sit­ ting around the dorm all day twiddling your thumbs. Always remember though, take it easy. Don't burn yourself out.

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

Many other trips, from nature hikes to caving are still available, however. 5 . The Appalachian Cultural Museum. No, this is not a moonshine exhibit. The Appalachian Mountains are a region rich in a heritage studied by scholars the world over. So, why does a University-run mu­ seum committed to that heritage go so neglected by students? See the article below for more information on why you should visit this year. 6 . Art on Campus. Metropolitan we ain't, but Appalachian does have a fantastic art program. This year there are 11 new sculp­ tures on campus, ten of which will be gone at year's end. There are also two art gal­ leries on campus, the Looking Glass gal­ in the 1960's and 70's, will be displayed lery in the student union and the during the first week of September. Catherine J.

Freshten students have been taken from their omes, bombarded with information and erded like cattle through a week long iries of lectures and meetings. And last Tuesday afternoon, about 20 fere loaded on vans to the outskirts of fatauga County to work in the hot sun lanting trees and tilling ground for lulch all day. Freshmen Orientation is tough, but nee when did Freshmen Orientation inude slave labor? For those 20 freshmen, back breaklg work was a part of their first week at ppalachian as they dug in and volunered to help out the community at Cove reek Elementary School. Stan Steury, a volunteer with the Parit Teacher Student Organization (PTSO) Cove Creek said, "Usually we have ree or four volunteers show up, but toay we've got 20 . . . It's great to have -ople come help us out." Cove Creek was one of many sights here about 80 freshmen volunteered to ork. The event was co-sponsored by the terfraternity Council and the anhellenic Council. Students also volunteered at other haritable organizations like the Humane ociety, Habitat for Humanity and the merican Red Cross. Stteve Sack, a senior from Boone, 'ho helped to head up the activity foor ie Interfraternity Council said that he 'as very pleased with the tournout on students what a real newspaper is all about. We've got a new design, new writ­ ers and editors and a new attitude. Look for interesting features, timely news, thor­ oughly thought-out opinions and, well, sports. 9. APPS, the Appalachian Popular Pro­ gramming Society. What are you going to do Friday and Saturday nights this year? Wonder what everyone else is doing? Wfell, if you want to see movies, hear per­ formers and be mesmerized by hypnotists, you're lucky ASU has APPS. If you want to have a say in what comes to campus, get involved. For more information call 262 - 2855. 10. "Strange Brew." Well, maybe not just "Strange Brew," but the movies on cam­ pus in general. However, as we all know, the aforementioned film is a brilliant cin­ ematic masterpiece. (And if you disagree, you can take off, you hoser). Phil Arnold, APPS Films advisoi; said the focus of this year's council is indepen­ dent films that have not come to the Boone area. "We've got some really awesome films that you'd have to go to a big city to see," he said. Included in the line-up for this semester are "Breaking the Waves" and "Secrets and Lies," both of which were nominated for Oscars. All shows are only $1, the cheapest deal in town. For more information, stop by the APPS offices in the student union. Weekend Activities Tuesday. Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski was also on hand to throw some dirt around as the volunteers planted trees and imim­ proved the landscape around Cove Creek. "I came to help because the students came," Borkowski said. "It seemed like a good project to be a part of." All of the land­ scaping work done at the school are performed by vol­ unteers.

For the 80 freshmen who vol­ unteered their free Star-; * time on the first week of school, the volunteer service project set a prece­ dent for their aca­ demic career at Ap­ palachian. It will go Eric Krone, Sally Reed and Jimmy Prichard, all further than just to freshmen at ASU, plant a seed for the future, establish their fu­ (photo by Amelia Mann) tures as it will to invest in it. So, you're not going to start on that term paper this weekend? Well then, here are some events that may make the first weekend back in Boone a little more intersting than the television.

He has ever owned a television and, until reU :ntly, not even a car. Born and raised on W eech Mountain, Hicks is the youngest of r1 children and, according to him, is also ,| le best looking.

The ^ ent, held on Sunday afternoon, was free n the public and donations were collected « r the Kimberly Hampton Steward Me' rial Wildflower Garden. Steward, a rmer Appalachian State University aduate student and volunteer at the fjseum, was killed in a car accident in * flyl996. TV»/-» rvnrht UrtrfnJ Ku P T,. The party, hosted by Museum Educa­ tion Director John Peterson, opened with Orville Hicks telling his Master Jack tales. "Daddy didn't care much for stories so mamma would have to wait until he was out of the house. Then she would gather us around the table and round off her Jack tales," says Hicks. A Jack tale, explains Hicks, is a story about a clever boy named Jack, (does 'Jack and the Beanstalk" sound familiar?) who does not use his strength or size to outwit his enemies but uses cleverness and hu­ mor instead. Hicks' mother learned most of the sto­ nes from her mother and her grandmother and so forth down the line. The children would gather around the table and shell beans or shuck corn while listening to the stories. "I'm sure that some of the stories be­ came stretched in order to keep us work­ ing as long as possible," Hicks chuckles. Frank Proffitt, Jr. was the second per­ former of the day and a master on the Orville Hicks recites a "Jack tale" banjo and dulcimer. Proffitt belted out his to listeners Sunday.

A third cousin of Orville Hicks, Proffitt also had a few great tales to share with the audience. Other musical performers included Mary Greene and Rachel Nelson, both well-known performers and teachers in the area. These two talented ladies played almost every instrument that you could think of including the guitar, dulci­ mer, fiddle and hammer dulcimer. They had the audience singing and tapping their feet to their renditions of traditional bluegrass songs of the area. The final performer for the day was Appalachian's own Charlotte Ross, a na­ tive of Georgia and ninth-generation sto­ ryteller. A communication professor at Appalachian, Ross tells mostly stories about mountain women. As a young girl Ross says that her fam­ ily did not have a television until 1956. "All we did was sit around and watch each other and laugh until we cried," says Ross. This is how Ross collected most of her stories. Recording to Ross, the best place to collect stories about people, however, is to go the funeral parlor because whei everyone gathers to commemorate one' death, they tell the most marvelous sto ries about the individual. In a perfect Delta Burke southern ac cent, Ross gave her accounts of the moun tain women in her life when she was grow ing up. Ross believes that mountaii people offer the most unique stories. "Mountain people have an edge to us We are not saccharin sweet," says Ross. All of those who attended the celebra tion were excited about its success an< look for the same kind of participation it all of its programs. The museum, which opened in Au gustl989, is open year round and offer over 20 exhibits giving an overview of th< Blue Ridge region. Some of the exhibit include the Land of Oz Resort, Ghosts am Legends of the Appalachians and a full stocked general store that closed in 1917 The museum's purpose is to preserve mountain culture, but as a plaque on th wall reads, "Mountain culture is not some see Culture on page 9 �Page 8 The APPalachi an • Warning: the humor you are about to see will be runningin every edition of The Appalachian this semester.

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

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

Borkowski for approval. Brad Reid, director for housing operations and chair of the task force, said the actual recommendations are still in the process of being edited and polished. There were over 40 recommendations discussed and voted on at the Friday meet­ ing. According to Reid, one recom­ mendation will make coaches accountable for the behavior of their players. Steve MacDow, task force member, said if there is a repeated pattern of misconduct of players, the coaches will be held respon­ sible. "I can attest that [Coach Jerry Moore is] a good coach," said Bake Baker, ASU's quarterback for next year's football season. "He's handled things extremely well. Through it all he's always preached to us good morals. It seems like they're putting things on him and he's a great man." While The Watauga Democrat focused on this recommendation in an article in its Monday edition, MacDow said in the task force spent about ten min­ utes looking at it. Visitation will remain the same as it has in the last few years. "Dorms will that no one be allowed to enter the block still be allowed to vote (on visitation)," party after midnight. They also recom­ said Reid. He also said the 24 hour visita­ mended that there be three locations fea­ tion policy will still remain an option. The turing different forms of entertainment. residence hall will keep the visitation policy it had the prior year on the opening day of the school year. Reid also stressed that residents will be required to at­ tend an educational program about their rights and responsi­ bilities as it pertains to visitation in the resi­ dence halls. Students will be taught about Steve McDow the policies they have Bake Baker to choose from as well as the regulations of each policy. Reid also stated that the task force recommended This is to ensure that all students have a that a certain percentage of residents vote chance to have fun. "This will help stu­ dents remember the message of the block before visitation can be change. Reid said that even though the party," said Reid. Outside law enforcement would task force makes these recommendations the ultimate power lies with Borkowski. be notified about the block party. Reid "He may still change visitation," said Reid. also said the task force is also looking at The chancellor can approve the recom­ changing the name of the block party. Another recommendation is pub­ mendations or ask for changes in policies licizing the guidelines of the party to all if he chooses. Another issue the task force dis­ people who will be attending. The task cussed was Appalachian's annual block force would also like there to be strict party. Reid said the task force recommends guideline enforcement at the party. Cs Reid also said anyone who leaves the party cannot get back in with more alcohol. Another recommendation is to provide close monitoring for underage drinking during the party. Another recommenda­ tion is scheduling more morning classes and classes on Fridays'. The task force wishes to reinstate the public damage policy, which would bill the residents of a floor for any damages incurred for the year. An­ other recommendation is the devel­ opment of a Phase Three during ori­ entation during a freshman's first year and a more extensive orienta­ tion process. In the residence halls, the task force calls for full-time patrol of the dorms. Reid stressed that these officers will have no power to enforce law and will not replace the security assistants in the residence halls. "They will compliment those (SAs)," said Reid. Reid also said that freshmen semi­ nar will be required for freshmen but not for another four years because it is still in the works. Reid said the task force does not want to change any rules or policies al­ ready on the book, but they do want bet­ ter enforcement at the university. According to Reid, the Chancel­ lor should have a complete copy of the recommendations for review by Thursday SGA cabinet set for '97-98 year Glass to Renee Cagle Managing Editor Fernando Little and Jake Parker, the new student government president and vice-president, are getting a head start for the 1997-98. Little and Parker have already named their SGA cabinet for the upcoming year. The cabinet is made up of 11 stu­ dents who are in charge of specific com­ mittees. The cabinet members are not allowed to vote on legislation, but they are expected to help the president and vice president carryout their goals for Ap­ palachian State. Dwayne Elliot will serve as chief of staff. He will assist the president and vice president and will also coordinate administrative responsibilities. Lindsay Phipps will be next yearis secretary and the assistant secretary is Stephani Lilly. Phipps and Lilly will be responsible for all written correspondence and the minutes of all minutes. David Bowling is SGA's new trea­ surer . He will be in charge of the finan­ cial records and will serve as co-chair of the student development budget council. The director of state affairs is Nick Shuster; he is responsible for current is­ sues at the state and local level and repre­ sents the students on these levels. Jamie Wicker will head up public affairs for SGA. Wicker will be respon­ sible for public relations. The rules committee will be chaired by Krista Whitt. She will be as­ sisted by Dan Edison. The rules commit­ tee reviews all legislation brought before the senate. Stacey Bern will be in charge of the academic affairs committee, which addresses issues related to the quality of student life. The academic affairs committee will be chaired by Antonio Roberts. He will be responsible for all issues affect­ ing students. Rounding out the cabinet will be Erhen Meister, who will serve as exter­ nal affairs chair. This committee will con­ centrate on issues affecting the off-cam­ pus student population of Appalachian. Little said he was "tremendously pleased" about his and Parker's selec­ tions. "The applicant pool was of a very high caliber," Little said. "Jake and I did our best to put together the best possible team." The '97-'98 cabinet has met twice this year and will meet again Wednesday before assuming their re­ sponsibilities at 5 p.m. April 30. SAVE cleans up to create awareness Darin Glass Staff Writer Members of SAVE tried to make a point to ASU students about recycling last Thursday on Sanford Mall. Brian Revell, John Ward and Donna Risteen of SAVE helped to further the education of students about their trash as they took 15 trash cans around the Mall and dumped the trash on a tarp to sort out the mess. The trash was sorted into piles tor cans, bottles, styrofoam and just plain trash. . . . , "We are trying to show what is be­ ing wasted," said Revell about what he hoped the students would get from the The exercise was just two days af­ ter Earth Day, April 22.

Dark colors give more protection. • Wear a 4-inch-wide broad-brim­ med hat and sunglasses with UV protective lenses even when walking short distances. • Stay in the shade whenever possible. • Avoid reflective surfaces, which can reflect up to 85 percent of the sun's damaging rays. • Protect children by keeping them out of the sun, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Apply sunscreens, beginning at six months of age. Avoid sunlamps, tanning beds and tanning parlors. • Listen to the UV Index reports. Take special care when exposure levels are 5 - 10 + . COUNTRY RETREAT H UFA1&.

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

Guerilla Grrls protest next year they can Example: "I went down yonder hill 'cuz I gots ta Startle. He'd be a cool punk rocker." chant '-uck Puck, -uck Puck!" gits me a grit." Another difference is waving at people while you're driving. If you go through virtually any small town in NC, you need to have one hand free at all times to wave. It doesn't have to be a full-fledged wave, with wrist action and all, but can be a little more subtle than that. The raising of two fingers from the steering wheel is the easiest, and usually the most appropriate. This also keeps your wrist from getting strained, I because if it's a busy traffic day and you do the "fullfledged wave" too much, your wrist will feel like you're Lil' Miss Tobacco in the Winston-Salem Smoker's Appreciation Day parade: tired, ragged, | and fussy. Greeters beware though; never raise just one | finger in salute to your fellow motorists.

You: "Uhh, it was an involuntary reflex that hap| pens'cause I hit my elbow on the dashboard. (Wave) See, it just did it again!"

The crowning moment of the evening was at the very end of the show. I heard rumors from someone that they had been playing the occasional Camper Van song at recent gigs. When they did play one (a favorite of mine, "Come On, Darkness"), I felt like I was in heaven. I'd also like to say that my other fa­ vorite moments were watching all the lo­ cal bands I had the chance to see. Liter­ ally every one was outstanding.

Songs like "Makes Me Wanna Die" make me want to... Thanks to Geffen for exploiting Kurt Cobain's memory by releasing From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah. I bought it, it was decent but aren't there some b-sides, demos or outtakes worth putting out? We'll have to go back to the boots to hear those.

Bush: where's the herbicide when I need it. Marilyn Manson: I wish their image was growing up as much as their lyrics. Antichrist Superstar was the surprise of the year. I never thought I'd say that about a band with such a cliched, cheesy image, but damn, it was an impressive album. One more note to top this off. I'll be stepping next door to editorials next year. I'm looking forward to hearing from everyone's opinions, even those contrary to me. And like it's always been, if you don't like it, either learn to love it or do something about it. I hope you prefer the latter. Year end staff picks Since it's the end of the year, it's only fair that we indulge ourselves a bit.

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

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

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

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

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

Cranford credits the accomplish­ ments of this year's SGA to the hard work of the Cabinet and student senators, de­ scribed by Cranford as a vital part of the organization. After the resignation of Jason Yepko in the fall and the appointment of Poole as his successor, both Poole and Cranford began the task of accomplish­ ing the goals that formed the CranfordYepko election platform. "I took over Kaye and Jason's platform and made it my own," Poole said. "I worked diligently with Kaye to accomplish as many platform goals as possible." Several of those goals were ac­ complished before the conclusion of the fall semester, Poole said. Goals fulfilled included installment of call waiting in campus residence halls, audible alarms for campus blue lights, e-mail and com­ puter instruc­ tion for fresh­ men during Phase II Orienta­ tion, Operation Outreach and support for volunteerism for Hunger & Homelessness Week. Other goals reached by SGA members included senate elections and training, Home­ coming activi­ ties, formation of a student dis­ count card, transfer of the Mountaineer Escort service to the uni­ versity and two forums addressing safety issues, Poole said. In addition to these goals, Poole said the SGA Cabinet also set personal goals to be accomplished on a monthly Passing the gavel "I'm happy to say that during the first semester, we accomplished every goal we set for ourselves, not just platform goals," he said. Student government representa­ tives continued their work in the spring semester, Poole said. Two pieces of legislation passed by the senate concerning a course exclu­ will be no one to teach the sections. He is also unsure of why the positions are be­ ing let go. Burwell is positive that the needs of the students will be met. "Some courses are filled up now (for students), but we will meet the demands of the students." Burwell did not comment further on any of the specific positions that will be cut or what areas they will be in. Many students are wondering about the availability of their classes for next year and will have to wait to see what happens in the fall. Avett said how well-liked both Shelley and Milam are and he would hate to see any of the professors lost.

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

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

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

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

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

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

A subsequent column offered a conciliatory list of nice things about Appalachian and the High Country, few of which had anything to do with why you or anyone else should bother to go to college. My particular concern is with the complaint in the first editorial Traffic police considerate To the Editor, I know that a lot of students seem to have various complaints with the University's Traffic Department and some of them are more valid than others. What concerns me is when the staff makes no attempt to be somewhat accommodating towards those students who are physically disabled. I was diagnosed with cancer two years ago and underwent extensive chemotherapy and various • surgeries to remove tumors. The doctors had to remove over one-third of my lung tissue due to the way in which the cancer had spread. The operation has left me with limited breathing capacity and as a result it is at times very difficult to make it around Boone, The State of North Carolina has issued me a handicap parking permit which I use to try and park as close to class as possible. However, I left class on Wednesday of this week to find one of those glorious yellow parking tickets on my car. My car was parked in one of the very few spots designated for handicapped students but never- that Appalachian requires a Core Curriculum having nothing to do with a student's future. I know a good deal; but, even at 53,1 still don't know what does and what doesn't have to do with my future. And I don't know anything, how­ ever painful, that I wish I didn't. W. H.

I don't think I need to tell anyone of the students at Appalachian how far forty dollars can be stretched on a college budget. I gave the officer the benefit of the doubt, maybe he/she had not seen my pass hanging in the window. I made my way to the Traffc Department and waited to speak with one of the officers. The lady at the desk directed me to Cpt. Loretta R. Harmon, who I am certain is one of the most inconsiderate people on the face of the earth, Cpt. Harmon was not interested in seeing my pass, the only thing she could say is: "You can appeal it if you want." Sure Captain, I'm going to try and appeal this ticket so I can be denied and charged more money for reviewing my appeal, It certainly is nice to know that Captain Harmon is working for our beloved Appalachian, I hope that no one ever decides to follow in her footsteps and charge her if she ever becomes disabled, To the Editor, I recently had a major- 35% of my total grade- paper due in a re­ quired major course and thought it might be helpful to have some­ one proofread the draft. I took my paper to the ASU Writing Lab, where a female En­ glish professor read my paper for grammatical and transitional er­ rors. The proofreader found sev­ eral mistakes, which is not uncom­ mon for my papers. When I turned in my final copy of my paper, my professor handed it back with many marks. I had made a C (74) on the paper and could not believe my eyes. Not to be conceded, but I usually make B's or better on writing assign­ ments. My professor cited my paper was confusing, lacking structure and transitional flow. My professor's confusion was because of the changes the writing center had made. Not to say I had no part in the confusion, but the writing center was little if no help at all. This was my first nightmare experience with the writing lab and it will be my last. I wild also go so far as to say I will never recommend the ASU Writing Center to anyone and will always tell this story of woe any­ time the subject arises.

The * .. ary staff introduced its new selfSut system for students last week. «syStem" is actually a small ma­ ilt inside the library lobby. After st j j— j a a student ID card, the machine x o bout" Iks out" books placed under its scan& leaves the student with a receipt for the book's due date. Ideally, this all happens at the student's convenience, and doesn't ever have to involve the help of any library staff. Currently, ASU boasts the lowest li­ brary staff to students ratio in the North Carolina University system. This advance­ ment is an attempt at alternatives to ex­ tra staff, since the ASU staff budget has not increased this year. The new system is the result of a one­ time allocation made to ASU from the University system budget to be used for technological advances. It makes Appalachian one of only three schools in the state system with such a checkout system. According to Catherine Wilkinson, Coordinator of Access and Information Organization in Belk Library, the selfcheckout system will not be introduced at the expense of student employees. She says that, "Though our budget for student employment has not gone up,' the checkout machine was purchased with other funds and will not draw from the money available for student help. Some students currendy working at the main circulation desk will be shifted from that area to stacks maintenance. "We will reallocate our (student) re­ sources more to areas of need," Wilkinson said of the rearrangement of student employees. Wilkinson also does not expect the self-checkout system to ever completely replace the main circulation desk. Videos and audio tapes, as well as computer disks, must all still be checked out at the main desk. Any problems with checkouts will be dealt with at the main desk, while all quick checkouts can utilize the new ma­ chine. Belk Library has also instituted a selfrenewal system for students convenience. As of this week, library materials can be renewed either by telephone or on-line on the ASU Internet web page. The self-checkout machine, which is equipped with easy directions for hesitant first-timers, is on from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for now, and should be available later into the night shortly.

A senaval facility underneath one of the it used spaces on campus? Well up 1982, the Navy paid rent on the The facility, which operated for 20 years, was an emergency command post. In the event of a domestic war, military personnel would have been operating from the facility. It was stocked with a large supply of emergency food and wa­ ter. The post was manned by a full-time "Civilian" employee of the Navy who was the only local resident with access to the facility. The Navy originally contacted then president, Dr. Plemmons about utilizing some campus space in 1962. Arrange­ ments were made for the Navy to utilize space in Broom-Kirk Gym until better fa­ cilities became available. This occurred in 1968 with the con­ struction of the Varsity Gym. The Navy worked with the gym's architect on how their facility would be constructed. They had special needs, such as a ventilation system that could filter radioactive par­ ticles as well as special lighting and wir­ ing. One wonders if Naval involvement greased the wheels of government in or­ der to obtain the over two million dollars needed for construction. When the gym slfcfife. « 4 F-\ A M F V] l V. was completed, it was hailed as a state of the art sports facility, including a never before seen roof system. The facility's existence was hidden from the general public. In an interview with the Appalachian conducted in 1988, then Vice Chancellor of Business Affairs, Ned Trivette stated, 'Those of us who worked with it had a security clearance, and we could not talk about it then." Details of the daily goings on are sketchy. In the attic of the gym was a vast array of antenna. The Navy held yearly drills. Curious faculty and students were turned away from its doors. At press time of the 1988 Appalachian, the Navy had not commented on the fa­ cility. In the same interview, Ned Trivette said, "It was a communications facility with radio equipment, lots of files and that was basically it. There's no secret under­ world down there." Whatever its purpose, it was once a closely guarded mystery on campus. Ru­ mors of its existence sparked fear that ASU was a designated target for a Soviet mis­ sile strike or a manufacturer of nuclear bombs. If it was just a communications facil­ ity, why was its existence such a closely guarded secret? We may never know. Most participants have moved on. There is no reference to it in the University ar­ chives. The Navy has no comment and the files are classified. Blurb Students will get a treat tonight when local favorites Sticky perform with Charlotte based A&M artists Lustre at the Klondike. Sticky is awaiting the release of their Double Super Buzz EP on a Virgin subsidiary, Pitch A Tent With their characteristic enthusiam,the EP rocks out on such tracks as "The Big Ones" and "Get Around . According to singer/guitarist ChipTaylor, in addition to these tracks and other new cuts, there may be a few golden oldies in store. Lustre's self-titled debut is typical of their dirgey power pop sound, great hooks and all. They were also featured on the soundtrack for the Liv Tyler movie, Empire Records. Also up this weekend are Garden of Sirens with Laburnum at the Klondike. Their brand of Goth flavored rock is sure to please.

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

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

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

Possible visitation changes Coakley NFL Bound: spark student reaction Drafted in third round by Cowboys Laurie Lyda Staff Writer The visitation policies of Appalachian's residence halls are a very important issue to on-campus students.

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

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

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

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

Jeremy Ball Assistant Features Editor It's two a.m. You awake to the sound its beating on a door across the hall Jan officer yelling, "Police, open up!" rlier that evening you had to open your mdows because the smell of pot from ross the hall was so overpowering. It is the fourth bust that week. Your next door neighbors are hippies d play the Dead at three in the morn- You've seen men wearing dresses to 1 iss in your dorm. The people you live with are freaks, wis and pot heads. What dorm do you live in? Chances are, you just answered East hall to that last question. OK, we've all heard these dorm stereotypes: the jocks (and parolees) live in Justice, Lovill and Eggers are the Virgin Vaults and East is just really scary. Only hard core feminists and people who wear either beads or black live there, right? Katherine A. Buchholz, a sophomore from Washington, doesn't think so. She says that the common stereotype given to people in East is that "we're all a bunch of druggies and freaks." "Anybody who hasn't been here thinks that we're freaky. But, once they get here they seem to stay." Buchholz says that she feels that the reputation East has for being a drug in­ fested, freaky dorm is undeserved. Buchholz says that the stereotype stems from an article in "High Times" a couple of years ago which ranked East as the number one party dorm in the country. But, she says "most of the rules are more strictly enforced" in East and that the drug problem isn't any worse than any other dorm. What about all of the freaks? Buchholz says "We've got metal heads, punks, hippies, holy rollers and even a few sorority girls. We've got scholarship win­ ners and obvious losers." Buchholz has lived in East for two years and she says that she has "loved it more than anywhere else." "It's one of the safest dorms on cam­ pus. It's small enough so that you know everybody by the end of the year; if not by name, then by sight." East hall is also the home of Watauga College. It is a college within a university which allows incoming freshmen the op­ portunity to complete many of their En­ glish, History and Humanities require­ ments by the time they are sophomores. Classes are small and focused on indi­ vidual contact with professors. Most pro­ fessors have their offices and many of their classes in East. Watauga College gradu­ ates graduate with honors from the uni­ versity. East is also the home of an interna­ tional hall which pairs up international students with regular college students and allows them to live with each other for a year. There is also a sub-floor which houses mostly sophomores and upper classmen. It is co-ed. So, yes, East hall is unique. But, with Watauga College students forming the backbone of the dorm, international stu­ dents having a strong presence and the small size of the dorm helping to form a community where everyone knows every­ one else, East hall hardly sounds like a place to be scared of. It sounds like exactly what Appala­ chian has been trying to form campus wide; academics as the center of student life, diversity and community. Oh, and no one should forget that East, has some of the biggest rooms on cam-' pus. Not bad. Six Degrees too hot Chasing Amy Controversial play put on by Theatre and Dance John Starling Features Editor America is at the tail end of what will obably be labeled in the future as the ftically Correct period. American lib^ in particular go out of their way to *asPC. as possible. Very few things have come along to ^enge that "correct" way of acting and ^king. One of those things is John "Jare's Six Degrees of Separation. This critically acclaimed play will be Rented by the Theatre and Dance De­ cent and the Charlotte Repertory leatre from April 23-27. in Manhattan, the play details the Jty of a gay black man, who claims to me son of Sidney Poitier. Flaunting such credentials and knowledge of the family, he works his way into the lives of a wealthy white family. He eventually cons them, as he has several of their friends. The fact that the leading male is gay recently stirred up controversy in Char­ lotte, where the play was last presented. Mecklenburg County Commissioners cut off funding for any art that wasn't in sup­ port of so-called "family values." "I consider it a non-issue in Boone," says Dr. Susan Cole, of Theatre and Dance, of the controversy surrounding the play. "(Six Degrees is) a play that we wouldn't normally be able to do at Appa­ lachian," says Cole. She says that it deals with current issues like dysfunctional fami­ lies, communication problems between college students and their parents and the guilt of white liberals. Though the play mixes humor with its politically and socially challenging drama, Cole warns that this is a perfor­ mance for mature audiences only. Performers include Kevin Free, Rebecca Koon and Graham Smith of the Charlotte Repertory. Theatre and Dance performers include Paul Davis Early III, C. Bradford Fairbanks, Jennifer Hilton, Matt Lewis, Jeff Madar, David Rikard, Sarah E. Ross and Ed Pilkington.

Renee Cagle �Page 8 ™acnian22 R.F.D. by MIKE MARLAIUD Picks from p. 7 -i>\\\N\WVx\ I'm a late-comer to all things cool. I can't help it. I was raised in an area where no "cool/alter­ native/college" rock was available. The hip things were Motley Crue, Poison, Def Leppard and other spandex-clad, misogynist, teasedhair rockers. The first things even remotely cool (which I still think are very cool) that crept into my musical life were the Beastie Boys, Inxs's Kick and the Sex Pistols. Through I friends, I was able to pull myself, . quite willingly, from the throes of ' schlock-rock boredom by high . school. I was like everyone else for a while. Digging by teeth into grunge was a pleasant experience. Alice in Chains was my first en­ counter, but of course, what are they but a really interesting metal band? Nirvana became an inter­ est pretty late. I played in a band with a very cool fellow who lived in Australia for a while. He turned me on to Kurt, along with the oc­ casional Ween and Primus. By the end of school, I had a bit of a clue. The point of this history, which probably means little to you, is to say that it's never too late to get into better music. And, yes, this is a blatant insult to several shallow genres of music that offer no sub­ stance. I can't apologize for listening to crap for most of my life. Crap happens. There are a few albums out there that may help you out if you want something old, but still very fresh. Pick these up: Sonic YouthDaydream Nation; The DamnedDamned Damned Damned; Camper Van Beethoven-Key Lime Pie; The Replacements-Let It Be; Guided By Voices-Alien Lanes; and Sebadoh-Bubble and Scrape. To those who know these al­ ready, yes, they are a cursory view and not the most representative of what's out there, but hey, everyone's got to start somewhere. If you are just about to dig these up, I hope you love 'em. " <l l ~i\\\W\ N''ll jlmwljl -i I waw^IU i. n<1-\cv.\\\\>11 .. |l vWWSV II — 'II v. . V •k.,. .w\..v.,vA\VW 1 :\w..

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

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

How coul d we possibly be in the about what happens in the places we live? ,se of us who have been RAs could certainly horror stories about some things that have gone and comment on the sense of community that sexist in most halls, e story at's this Leadership Cabinet? Vice Chancellor Gregory Blimling invites stuits who have been given leadership positions join his Vice Chancellor's Leadership Cabinet, iis body of students meets with him regularly to jjcuss current events that affect the lives of stu­ nts at Appalachian. I have been proud to be a t of the Cabinet and feel that student leaders exactly the type of students the administra|on should go to first for hlep, advice and input. In the past, Leadership Cabinet members have I to discuss extremely important issues such as :ty, the sense of community among students business issues such as student fees. This year, Blimling called an emergency meetof the Cabinet along with Dr. Barbara Daye Chancellor Francis Borkowski, to discuss lal assault and safety on-campus. The prodfeof this meeting (during which the administra­ te listened attentively to our input) was An Apfiachian Community Meeting. This meeting fought out at least a few hundred people and is even covered by various television stations in state. During the meeting, the audience wrote (own questions which were collected by Cabinet smbers who were not on the panel of speakers, le questions that were not answered during the eeting were forwarded to the university adminration. The Appalachian's "Ask the Chancellor" lumn was begun as a way of garnering answers the extra questions. I don't know how the administration could go out choosing a better group of students to repsent their peers. Student leaders are regular stu­ nts like everyone else.

Eventually I came up with three speakers that I thought would be perfect. Bear in mind that we have more than one commencement so we could use all three of these guys if we wanted to Here goes: (Hunter S. Thompson (journalist)- Here's a guy that knows about being controversial. Thompson , would be ideal since he's engaged in just about ev­ ery variety of misbehavior known to our society (at least the more fun varieties anyway) and he'd prob­ ably show up at the commencement drunk as a skunk. Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind anybody as a speaker if they were drunk as a skunk. The best part about Hunter S. Thompson is, he's totally insane. G. Gordon Liddy (former Nixon era FBI man and current talk-radio personality) - This is a guy that knows how to make people mad. If protestors got too close to him, he'd lay 'em out with a 10mm. This is a man who's been in prison and likes to burn his arm with a lighter to show his endurance of pain. In his speech Liddy could make mention his advice on shooting at ATF agents (aim for the head not for the chest) or he could talk about his role in the Watergate scandal. What's Watergate you ask? Read a book. Again, the best part about Mr. Liddy is, he's to­ tally insane. "Macho Man" Randy Savage (professional wres­ tler) - If you want to see a speaker who wouldn't be averse to attacking the chancellor with a steel chair, then here's your man. While everyone else would be wearing somber black caps and gowns he'd be decked out in a bright yellow cape and a pair of sunglasses. I'd get Randy just so I could here him say, 'The graduates of today are our future, oh yeah." Do not tell me you would not want to see that. And need I mention, the Macho Man is totally insane. There you go. Let me just finish by making a personal appeal to Grand Moff Borkowski and Darth Blimling to try there best to get at least one viva­ cious and interesting speaker for this year's gradua­ tion. I don't mean an inspiring speaker, I mean an absolute nut. It won't be pretty but it will be memo­ rable. And you know that's what matters. Like Lou Reed says, gentlemen, "Take a walk on the Wild Side." Letters to the Editor'^p I bathe, don't Our name drink and smoke speaks for itself To the Editor, I am biting my tongue and writing in response to Daniel Bothun's "Auto Racing is a Waste of Oil." This opinion column was one of the most unfounded that I have ever read for two reasons: 1 )The infor­ mation was inaccurate, and 2) It was very stereo­ typical. First, NASCAR is used for apurpose by American auto manufacturers. It aids the design engineers in the development of more aerodynamic designs which will, in turn, lead to more fuel efficient cars. That is fact! Next, is the stereotype that you so cleverly, in your own mind, describe. How many greasy haired losers do you know that can fork out $70-$100+ for a single ticket to a NASCAR event. There are a class of people that somewhat fit your warped description who attend the races but they make up only a small part. Personally, I bathe, don't drink, and don't smoke. Wow! How can I be a NASCAR fan and be like that. The truth is, auto racing has become so corporate that it is hard for a lower class person to go to an event. That is why you see rows of $250,000 mobile homes there. A final note to add to your world of thinking. Since NASCAR is America's #1 spectator sport, does that mean that the majority of sports fans are greasy haired, drunken, chain smoking losers? Jason Sutherland ASU Box 07383 To the Editor, I am writing concerning little Daniel Bothun's April 10th column on NASCAR racing. I have never in my short life read such a great article. I love the way that lil' Dan shamelessly attacks NASCAR be­ cause the cars use gas, oil, and other forms of petro­ leum. He suggests that all forms of auto racing be stopped because it uses oil, instead of suggesting that maybe NASCAR would take a realistic, more mod­ ern step towards helping the environment by actu­ ally making race teams recycle motor oil. Lil' Dan (God) Bothun also notes that NASCAR generates no useful products in society, as opposed to other sports like NBA basketball, in which players like Dennis Rodman serve as great role models to today's kids. Lil' Dan also noted that all NASCAR fans are beneath him, since they're all nasty, greasy guys who do nothing but sit around and drink, and abso­ lutely none of them are nice, middle class people who live in nice suburbs and are the only ones who can afford $75 tickets to races in Charlotte. I just wanted to say thanks, Lil' Dan, for using your highly informed, highly justified opinions about NASCAR and NASCAR fans to write yet another great article, in The Appalachian, a newspaper who's name speaks for itself when it lets really cool people like you write for it. Dave Piatt ASU Box 13877 Bothun smokes crack | want to serve you Vanessa Urruela Editor-in-Chief , . ata}y> I've been reminiscing about the u aballoo we had here last year concerning Down Home commencent speakers. I'm sure those of you who with Bob Hutton ow what I'm talking about are now releasing a colective groan. For those of you who are new to ASU Columnist this year, let me fill you in. Last spring, the administration scheduled Sena­ tor Jesse Helms as the commencement speaker for the business college. That announcement initiated a cacaphony of complaints the likes of which has never been seen at ASU. Oh friends, it was awful. Angry letters were writ­ ten. Nasty signs were posted. Boycotts were threat­ to go see whoever-it-was speak. They opted to get a ened. There was talk of a human chain being formed couple of milquetoast speakers who couldn't incite a at graduation to prevent Senator Helms' entrance. riot if they tried.

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

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

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

The station that got its start as a IOHO FM station in a small room in _ lapel Wilson Hall has now grown to put heights and is celebrating 25 years broadcasting. The APP went through several names eluding "Boone's Rock 'n Roll Animal," IRock," and "WASU" before adopting 0.5 The APP" in the fall of 1995. The station, now located on the third »r of Wey Hall, broadcasts in stereo aery kind of program that one can think Wright, the first student on the air back in April of 1972. Wright, who now works in sales for an AM station in Greensboro, will re-en­ act the first morning on the air with his show, "Great Awakening." The show will be in correlation with "Tim and Sherry in Climbers present slide-show of Venezuelan trip up waterfall wall the Morning." The "Great Awakening meets Tim and Sherry in the Morning" show will start off at 6 a.m. Throughout the day The APP will mix music from 1972 into their regular rota­ tion.

The APP is always looking for volunteer? to help out with their various programs, and if you're interested in being a DJ, there is a DJ class that you can take. In order to get on the air, you have to make a certain grade in the class. According to Music Director Scotty D. Immel, a senior from Long Island, New York, the station is a great music market. "It gives you high quality music with a personal touch." Congratulations to The APP for all of its hard work! They have come a long way!

There will also be a Kiddie Village set up for the little ones. Carpooling is encouraged, so load up the van or bus or whatever mode of trans­ portation you happen to use and come out and celebrate the day dedicated to Mother Earth. How to get there; take 421S 9.9 miles past the Parkway bridge, just beyond the end of the four lane; turn right onto Lewis Fork Church Road and ride it out to the dead end, then turn right; go 8/10 of a mile and turn right on Mt.

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

In a sport dominated by America, Robinson slipped through ! door, changing not only baseball for *%> but sports in general. Robinson's first break came in Jd when the Brooklyn Dodgers named '•nson to their scout team, the Montreal ^ who were part of the International Not only was it hard for Robinson lain acceptance from baseball players Managers in general but the fans were "e t0° complimentary. It was proven in that season fans pay to come to a game and boo. 'd attendance for the Royal games 'ed In spring training, Robinson was "0ved during the middle of a game due °tder by a local police chief. In one year, Robinson had deseg®ted many aspects of baseball. April 15, nson went 0-for-3 but scored the win8 run in Brooklyn's 5-3 victory over the »• »<• !°n Braves. Later in the season, •in °n also desegregated the World ns es. Robinson led the National League , bases and captured the Rookie 'e Year award. The next five out of °°kie of the Year awards went to Afen " Americans. In 1956, the hall of famer retired 'n he was faced with the possibility of 8 traded to the Dodger's arch rivals, New York Giants. 1962 was the year . °t>inson finished the job of integrat­ or League Baseball when he was elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame with only four votes to spare. April 15, 1997, Major League Baseball retired Robinson's number per­ manently. After all the players who have the number 42 retire, no one will ever wear Robinson's number again. "Somehow in someway, it should be kept alive," said Boston's Mo Vaughn, who currently wears the number 42. "Keep the legacy alive as long as you play and after we retire then they can re­ tire it." The last player to be issued the number 42 was Texas rookie outfielder Marc Sagmoen, who made his debut against the Chi­ cago White Sox. Seattle's Ken Griffey Jr. re­ placed his number 24 for 42 for one game on April 15 honor to Robinson. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for said him," Joe Toronto's Carter, who wore knee-high socks, h o n o r i n g Robinson by emu­ lation. WCW: the new NFL? H a s WCW wrestling become a haven for washed up athletes? The question is one that pops up early and often nowa­ days. There is a remarkable number of defections from real sports to wrestling. When it seems like a player is on the verge of washing out he makes a bee-line for wrestling. It really wasn't that surprising when Dennis Rodman came forward with the news that he was going to be a "wrassler." If there was ever a character in the NBA that belongs in the ring, it's Rodman. The man cross-dresses, freaks people out, and most importantly, he is frequently seen in his underwear. What else do you need to be a wrestler? Steve McMichael, a former Chi­ cago Bears defensive stand-out, has been in the WCW for awhile racking up retire­ ment dollars. Now the former All-Pro is going to fight another All-Pro, Reggie White, in the ring. Yes, Reggie White. The match will take place on May 18 at the WCW's Slamboree pay-per-view show in Charlotte. WCW officials refuse to comment on how much White will make for the appearance. In the same arena, on the same ticket., Kevin Greene is going to wrestle. It was ironic listening to the an­ nouncers call White a wimp and calling football a "fake sport" on Monday Night Nitro, the WCW's answer to Monday Night Football. Wrestling, despite the athleticism of the performers, is not a real sport. It is as, features editor John Starling put it, a soap opera geared toward men. Amusingly enough, the WinstonSalem Journal covers WCW wrestling, not in the Sports section, but in the Enter­ tainment section along with the television listings. No self-respecting Sports Editor would consider giving "wrasslin'" the space. In Trouble again Trouble is in the making for Jerry "the Shark" Tarkanian yet again. Attor­ neys for Fresno State point guard Derrick Young have filed suit against 'The Fresno Bee" concerning reports that Young is the focus of a point shaving investigation. The report said Young has con­ sorted with illegal bookies, gamblers, Robinson see page 11 Get off the couch and play Danny Sink Staff Writer sports commentary I can still remember the day when I finally realized that I was never going to be an NFL quarterback. You enow, back when we were little we all tad those pictures of what we were go­ ing to be when we grew up. Those were the days. No thoughts of responsibilities beyond mak­ ing it home before dinner and washing behind your ears. Back then I was just sure that I was going to be a big-time quarterback. Never mind that I could not get the ball two feet in front of me. I was, after all, just a kid. As I grew the real­ ization that my arms were like jelly com­ pared to the John Elways of the NFL brought the realization that I was not exactly pro material. Sometimes at night I still have those childhood dreams. I am the back­ up QB in the big game, the starter gets knocked out, I hear the coach call "SINK, get over here!" It's fourth down, 20 seconds left in the game and 80 yards to go. Well, you know I air the ball out for a touch­ down. But enough with my own dreams. I do not want all you people in psychology to start analyzing me. There is no telling what kind of weird things might be hidden in my psyche. The point is that deep down in all of us there is this person that longs to make the big play. All of us want to feel that spotlight shining down on us and hear the praise and envy of every­ one. This is where the backyard as­ pect comes in. Here at ASU we have something that is sometimes hard to find: a good community. Any night of the week I can go up to the Quinn with friends or by myself and find a basket­ ball game. And I stink at basketball. (Hey what do you expect out of short fat guy?) In the winter after a snow all you have to do is go to Duck Pond field and there is a game of football, in the spring ultimate Frisbee. In these "back­ yard" games I am able to live out those dreams of my youth. Okay, ask any of the guys that I have played against and they will tell you I still cannot throw the ball, but I can get out there and play. On those rare occasions that I catch a pass or bust through the line on a hand-off I am in that spotlight that haunts my dreams. This is what loving a sport is all about. There is always a big fuss over how the pro players are overpaid and have lost the love you must have to play the game. In this same way I look at a lot of sports fans and wonder where the ove is. Is there love in sitting on the couch all the time and watching the games? No. To truly have the love for a game means that you not only enjoy watching a sport, but you love playing it. The challenge of competition brings out the true fanatic in all of us and re­ minds us why we loved the sport in the first place. The only way to truly enjoy watching another perform in a sport is understanding that sport in a way that only a participant can. Watching a Michael Jordan soar through the air or a Kevin Greene bust through an offen­ sive line is so much better when you realize how difficult it is to do what they succeed at. 1 do not mean to attack those people who simply watch sports and do not participate. 1 only want them to re­ alize that there are ways out there for every student on this campus to partici­ pate. Backyard sports have been a way of life for me. Sure I have played on organized teams from T-ball in el­ ementary school up to track my senior year in high school. But nothing beats those backyard games. Chances are there are not go ing to be any strange voices beckoning you to "build it and they will come However, by just grabbing a ball and some friends you can turn just about any field in the Boone area into your very own field of dreams. Play, and you'" see where I am coming from. �The Appalachian 17 ^ Page 10 Mi997 ARE YOU INTERESTED IN SPORTS? lalai ifApP' you might want to consider a part-time Job in the exciting field of sports journalism writing for The Appalachian.

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

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

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

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

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

A young tart is taking not just the golfing, but entire sporting world by storm not just ause of his incredible golfing skills, but ause of his breaking of one of the last barriers in the sports world. That man is Tiger Woods of ise. And almost 50 years to the day Jackie Robinson became the first ikman to play Major League baseball, ads became the first black man to win ibe-all and end-all of golf tournaments, Masters. Woods' victory at Augusta only Is to the lore that has been building it this man-child ever since he won record-setting third U.S. Amateur title than a year ago. His Masters record 12-stroke victory over second place finisher Tom Kite marks the beginning of not only what should be one of the most impressive careers of any athlete since Hank Aaron, but a new era in professional golf. The game of golf went through its first breakthrough from a sport strictly followed by the elite country club types to something for that could entertain the masses over 30 years ago when a young charismatic star named Arnold Palmer put professional golf on the map in 1960's. Now, golf is going through a second period of change in which the clubhouse door will open for even more Americans. And it is a change that professional golf has needed for quite some time. For years golf has been the game of the upper class in this country and throughout the world. Although some minority players have cracked into the golfing world, most notably Lee Elder, Charlie Sifford and Ted Rhoades, none has been as good or as promising as Woods. Mike Daniels Sports Editor sports commentary Just look at what the Woods story did for the television ratings. The young star helped CBS to take in a record 8.3 million viewers on their Saturday coverage of the tournament.

McFadden played basketball his atyear in Connecticut and moved back taville to play his senior year. Along his familiarity with different styles 'lay along the east coast, McFadden, * pressing 315 lbs., brings impressive "?th to the program. "He's (McFadden) a kid that can & the ball and post up at 6-5," said "1 Coach Buzz Peterson. "We're really excited about what he can do on the floor. He's just a big-sized kid." Coffey, from Avery County High School, runs the court well and supplies the Mountaineers with much-needed size and athleticism. "His (Coffey's) uprise will be in the future. He'll really be a valuable player for us," Peterson remarked. "There is so much potential there. Coffey's arrival will hopefully bring more fan support from the community. "When I went to watch Mike play at the sectionals, (of the state playoffs) Avery County had their section filled up to the baseline," Peterson commented. "Hopefully those people will come over and Mike will do well." As for which of the recruits will end up contributing more next year, Peterson takes a wait and see attitude. "It may be easier for Coffey to make the adjustment than McFadden," said Peterson. "You never know how young men mature and what there reaction will be when they get on campus. Despite the two signings, the Mountaineers still have one scholarship available. Peterson may or may not fill it in the coming week. "We want somebody with some post skills, (who can) take people off the drive, somebody with leadership skills," remarked Peterson. "We want the best mix of the three." Other than recruiting, Appalachian will also be working in the weight room and in the gym in the off­ season. Each player has a weight plan and takes a thousand shots a week. "I've instructed them that this is the most important part of the season for us, " Peterson said. "This is where we have got to get stronger and get better."

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

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

One copy free Volume 71, Number 42 Appalachian State University Boone, North Carolina 28608 Countersuit filed in defamation case ASU football Woman who accused football players of rape denies libel player found Darin Glass Staff Writer guilty of assault According to Watagua County Superior Court records, Appalachian freshmen Sabrina Coone filed a countersuit Monday in reaction to the defamation suit against her. The countersuit was filed in re­ sponse to a defamation of character suit issued against Coone in February by Kendrick Byrd, Fredrick Sellers, Kevin McLain, Gordon Fenderson, Rodney Tho­ mas and Desmond Adams. The defama­ tion suit came after Coone accused the six men of raping her. Court documents state four de­ fense claims against the plaintiffs in the countersuit. The first defense states that any statement from Coone was truthful and cannot constitute slander or libel. The second part is that any state­ ment allegedly made by Coone was in ac­ cordance with an absolute privilege and cannot be libel or slander. Another claim was that any al­ leged statement about the lawsuit was made in accordance to a qualified privi­ lege. The last claim states that the plaintiffs had already consented to the statements that Coone had already made. Those statements are the basis of the law- Jay Konstantaras Assistant News Editor Coone requests that she should see Countersuit p. 2 Senior Jason Hatcher, former defensive lineman for the Mountain­ eers and a basketball cheerleader, was found guilty of assault on a female and sentenced to 24 months probation on March 25. b site workshop An HTML Web Site Workshop be held today at 6 p.m. in Kerr Scott auditorium.

The Band's performance was part of the International Week Festival. The Steely Pan Band played popular favorites like Paul Simon's "You Can Call Me All," The Village People's "YMCA," and "Ole, Ole, Feelin' Hot Hot Hot!."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ben D. Quinn of Atlantic Beach and Glenn W. Wilcox Sr. of Asheville are new members, and John A. Alison IV and former U.S. Sen. James T. Broyhill, both of Winston-Salem, were reappointed. All will serve four-year terms, beginning with the trustees' September meeting. Quinn and Wilcox replace Rich­ ard T. Howerton III of Charlotte and C. Kenneth Wilcox of Boone who both served two terms, the maximum number al­ lowed. Quinn, who earned a bachelor's degree at Appalachian in 1955, retired as superintendent of the New Bern/Craven County Schools in 1989 after a career in 'education. He is a former professor of education at East Carolina University and educational consultant with the N.C. De­ partment of Public Instruction. He also worked with school systems in Onslow and Hyde counties. He is currently a partner in Carolina School Planning and Research in Raleigh. A native of Cherryville, Quinn earned a master's degree at East Carolina and an Ed.D. at Duke University. He is a member of the Yosef Club, Chancellor's Society and the Former Athletes Associa­ tion board at Appalachian. Wilcox, a prominent Asheville businessman, founded Wilcox Travel Agency in 1951 and Blue Ridge Printing Company in 1974. He is also chairman of the board of United Broadcasting Enter­ prises Inc. and Tower Associates Inc.

Winning 12 of the 19 resi­ dence halls and the off-campus vote, Little and Parker pulled ahead of Mike Hagerty and Jewel Irish by receiving 1094 of the 2040 votes cast. Hagerty and Irish won seven resi­ dence halls including Gardner Hall where they received 116 votes to 30 for Little and Parker. Vice-president elect Parker said that he and Little plan to sit down and talk with the current administration a number of times to ensure a smooth tran­ sition. "Fernando and I plan to work with them extensively," Parker said. "We hope to get an idea of where they were at this point last year and where they are now and be able to pick up where they leave off." Little and Parker will officially take office May 1 when they are sworn in by the Chancellor at a transition banquet. "It's kind of hard to believe right now, we worked so hard at it and cam­ paigning was so intense it's hard to get my bearings," said Parker. Parker said he and Little are cur­ rently working on assembling their cabi­ net. "We are taking nominations and will make final decisions by May 1," he said. The election drew only 31 fewer voters than the run-off elections held March 19 and 20, with a total of 1811 oncampus and 229 off-campus votes cast. see Election page 2 Construction at ASU progressing entrance street, the redevelopment of the baseball field as a park, a major steam line extension under Rivers Street, the The sounds of steel crashing and ce­ reconstruction of Center Street, the clo­ ment pouring will be with us for a little sure of University Drive entrance from while longer as ASU plans for growth in Blowing Rock Road and the extensive installation of new walls and lighting the high country.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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