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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I am not going to judge the people involved in case based upon their morals. I don't know cm. I can't blame the woman or the men for what ippened.

It's no secret that many college students drink Icohol on a regular basis. Many times, in fact, at irties where this behavior occurs, sexual activity (so happens. Both facts are disheartening.

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

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

"Eating disorders are often considered to be a secret, which only adds to the feel­ ing of loneliness that often begins the dis­ order. The increased feeling of loneliness only adds to the problem," says Glassman. She says she hopes that this week will help to get some of the issues out in the open and talked about. Glassman stresses that eating disor­ ders are only signs of much deeper emo­ tional problems. Focusing on food is of­ ten an outlet for emotional pain that vic­ tims don't know how to cope with. The awareness week will start on Monday at 12 p.m. in the New River Room with an "Uncle Sigmund" lecture entitled "How not to Crash Diet into a Bikini."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Keith Kane and Matt Scanned have a certain Hootie feel, though sickeningly lighter, which is also reminiscent of Michael W. Smith, except without the concept of divine intervention.

It's like through most of "®CD the band has decided that it is defi­ nitely country/rock. But there are mo­ ments when it can't seem to make up its mind what it is. Am I country, am I bluegrass, am I a '°lk band, am I a cover band for whatever group did the Saved by the Bell Gertie song? Overall, the band has a distinctively teuntry feel, though it never crosses over ""to the mainstream. So, if you don't mind a little country mixed in your rock, this CD is definitely '•'orth a listen to. "Jeremy Ball, assistant features editor The Spirits Drive (Island) Listening to this disc makes me won­ der if this is a debut album. It definitely sounds like these guys are still trying to get their feet grounded. Unfortunately they're stepping in some pretty unsavory stuff. Some of the songs sound like the stuff you hear those kids mimic on Saved By the Bell. They're desperately trying to define a current sound, but it's cheesy and makes you cringe after only a few seconds. The title track features some neat eighties-styled atmospherics and the up­ beat "Hope" offers some hope of deliver­ ing the album from its own boredom.. Between the bad lyrics and unoriginal music, though, this album will indeed "Drive" you crazy. -John Starling, features editor Speedball Baby Cinema! (MCA/Fort Apache) •••• Oddly enough, Speedball Baby sounds like a Tom Verlaine-fronted Georgia Sat­ ellites/Stray Cats side project. Even more peculiar, it doesn't sound that bad. The band's interesting blend of poetic musings and outright singing/blues moans makes for halfway decent listening. "Black Cat Moan" displays this style well, while "Suicide Girl" is outright poetry rapped over music. The band's light-heartedness also helps save these songs from sound­ ing trite or cliched. Vertical see page 6 "Hippolytus," an ancient play dealing with very modern emotions, will be presented at Appalachian State University Feb. 19-23. The fifth century B.C. play by Euripides, adapted into modem language by Kenneth Cavander, begins nighdy at 8 (p.m.) in Valborg Theatre. Tickets are $3 for students and $5 for nonstudents and can be purchased at the theatre box office 2-5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Call 262-3063 for more information or reservations. This classic story of forbidden love, revenge and divine intervention opens with Aphrodite, Greek goddess of love, and her desire for power. Aphrodite becomes enraged that Hippolytus, son of the King of Athens, Theseus, spends his days worshipping Artemis, goddess of the hunt. Aphrodite's jealousy reels out of control, and she devises a plan to seek revenge. Aphrodite plants a seed of illicit love for Hippolytus into the heart of Phaedra, who is married to Theseus. Phaedra's desire for Hippolytus, coupled with Hippolytus's scorn, drives her insane, and she eventually takes revenge on all of those she has loved. The play is presented by the theatre and dance department. Cast members include Kristy Anne Barstow, Douglas Coventry, Marin Conaughty, Russell Poole, Peyton King, Lauren Volkmer, Gail Gregory, Angie Light, Gina Scott, Stella Sexton, Barrett Gregory, Joshua Scott, William Stoneham, Brian Ward and C. Bradford Fairbanks. Pictured above, left to right, are Coventry, Poole, King and Volkmer. "Hippolytus" is directed by Dr. Susan Cole, theatre and dance department chairwoman. Scene and lighting design is by Joel E. Williams. Costumes are designed by Amy Leigh Harrison. The play is stage managed by Catherine A. Tate. Jewelry design and construction are provided by art department faculty and students.

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

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

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

Sorry folks, can't ilish information we don't even have. When cases are handled through the Judicial airs Office, records are sealed to protect yone's privacy.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You could almost feel the pain the family faced during their hardships and were always grateful to laugh during their times of triumph. The spotlight certainly shined on the actors and actresses who combined the­ atrical talents and soulful voices to bring their characters to life. The cooperation put into the play showed as the members, whether a main character, background singer or stage di­ rector, each added a spark to the play to make it glow. "We were very pleased with the play," said Student Director, Fernando G. Little of Charlotte. "We felt like the play gave us an opportunity to display the true meaning of Christmas, and if we were able to convey that message then we are pleased. The choir worked very hard." It shows. With their voices, the choir expressed messages of love and hope. And if just one note sung is an inspiration for a ear that hears it, they need to sing on. Don't l6t doptOSSion •jet you down in tioi eir Ok Sandra Isley Reporter Most people believe that the Great lepression occurred in the 1920s, but the Teat depression is the one that ends in aicide. As part of Women's Awareness Week, hristie Graves and Charlotte Gaines from le Wellness Peer Education program ime to Belk Hall to speak about depreson. Depression can be brought on by cogitive distortions, which is when we think egative thoughts about ourselves. An example of this is should statelents such as, 'I should study for three ours.' Gaines said, "If you don't feel like , you shouldn't because you won't be unished for it." Then she adds jokingly, Unless you haven't studied at all." Another way we abuse ourselves is tat we say things to ourselves that we rould not say to others. The key to feellg better about yourself is not to treat ourselfwith less respect and dignity than ou would others. Depression is a serious illness because may lead to suicide. The saddest death all is when a person decides to take their own life, so look for the signs and symptoms of depression. 1. Lack of interest in their favor­ ite activities 2. Disturbance of sleep 3. Disturbance of appetite 4. Feeling sad and down, crying a lot, irritable 5. Suicidal idealization There are five parts of suicide ideali­ zation. 1. Idealization - They are think­ ing about killing themselves 2. Psychosomatic retardation Their movements and speech become slow 3. Plan - They already know how it will be carried out 4. Means - They have the neces­ sary equipment needed to carry it out 5. Intent - They intend to carry it out If a person shows these symptoms and answers yes to the five parts of suicidal idealization - intervene. Talk to the per­ son and let them know that tomorrow can only get better. Depression is like any other illness. It can be cured or it can be fatal. Just re­ member two things: We all make mis­ takes. Learn from them, keep them in proper perspective and move on. Also, you deserve to be happy, so why put it off any longer? CELEBRATE YOURSELF!!!

What should I major in?" Many of us ask our­ selves these questions every day. Now is the time we all feel the pressure to know which paths we are going to take, and plan accordingly. For those of you who are stressed about these issues and more, you need not fear. Peer Career has the answer. Peer Career, a program jointly spon­ sored by the Career Development Center and Psychological Services Center, is lo­ cated on the second floor of the Student Union next to the Gold Room. The center exists to help students decide the direc­ tions they want to take in their lives. If you're a senior, it may have taken you four years to finally find that direc­ tion, or you may still be searching. Peer Career is here to help you find the answer. "Peer Career emphasizes that having direction in your life is important and we're here to help you get that direction," said Director Jennie Cassidy, Ph.D. "We have tests, software instruments, refer­ ence materials and other resources," she said. "If you just want to talk with us, that's great too. What makes our program unique compared to any other career de­ velopment program in the state is the fact that our counselors are students," said Cassidy. "We have 10 student counselors and are always recruiting new students." The North Carolina Career Develop­ ment Association (NCCDA) has designated November as Career Development Month; a special time to focus attention on career development. 'To emphasize Career Development Month, we had a 'Lucy Booth' where stu­ dents paid a nickel to get advice," said Cassidy. "Hopefully, the people who par­ ticipated will visit Peer Career and com­ plete the evaluation process." "Students don't realize the services we offer could easily cost $300 after they graduate," she said. "Now is the time to take advantage of career counseling op­ portunities." "We surveyed freshmen in 1996 and found that 82 percent were unsure about their career choices. My goal would be reached if every student who is unsure would visit the center in order to find more Manson's sophomore effort Antichrist Superstar crucifies the ER Smells Like Children, and rightfully so.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It was a symbol of our gents' generation. It was a mainstay of nerican pop culture. It was the "latch,y" kid's alternative to parental super;'ion after school. But it was, after all, just an early com about a fantasy world where grass js replaced by astro-turf, dad always l(j the answers, and life's worst crises ;re reduced to Marsha's broken nose. It should have gone the way of bell ,ttoms and affos and been little more an a quaint reminder of our culture's ^t eccentricities. Right? Apparently not. When Bary Williams .lea. Greg Brady) appeared in Legends ednesday night, the large group of stu­ nts who came to see big brother Greg oved that the show's impact on our genation has had more permenant side ef:ts. Not only has it spawned two new •vies in the recent past, but apparently, segment of our population remained •affected by the show's weaknesses hile growing up, and evolved into a range species - the Brady fans. Leslie N. Mclnturff, a senior from reenville, Tenn., was a good example of ie Brady hysteria present at the show, bout seeing Williams, she said, "This 3dy could be the single greatest moment of my life." And she was not alone. Tension was obvious in the whispering and giggling audience as the appointed time ap­ proached when everyone would see the man who played the oldest Brady son. Then he appeared and everyone stared and applauded in amazement and excitement as the definitely aged, yet still very Brady Barry Williams walked on stage. Williams' show only fed the audience's excitement. It was truly a fine perfor­ mance, combining enough confirmation of juicy gossip to satisfy the most hard­ core Brady fan, and enough humor and action to satisfy the less obsessed. The first part was basically a comedy routine filled with stories about being a Brady. Throughout the routine he inter­ spersed clips from the show and other less known Brady appearances, as well as a vocal solo from "Les Miserables" and a demonstration of the Brady dance, which about 20 members of the audience joined him in. The audience made one thing clear, Brady fans are everywhere. So, for you hard-core fans, here's a little extra infor­ mation Williams gave in a backstage in­ terview. The Interview Williams said that he has always con­ sidered himself to be primarily a singer, and that's where he sees his career focused for the future. Besides his broadway successes, he also sang the national anthem at a Yan­ kees' game and a Dodgers' game. In the future, he's already looking at a four month tour in 1998 doing a performance of 'The Goodbye Girl." Williams is no longer married, though he had a two-year relationship with "a wonderful lady." He said that the separa­ tions because of his career were just too tough. "I'm back to auditioning, you see. I hang around the med-schools." According to Williams, the original Brady cast has "evolved kind of like into a second family." They all still keep up with each other. In the show, Williams admitted that yet another Brady reunion might be a possibility in the future. And all of those surfing clips in Ha­ waii? "You can't fake that," said Williams. He said that the only thing he's been longer than a Brady has been a surfer. Williams said that he had a very small high school class. "It was just Marsha and me". He did attend college at Pepperdine University, but he never finished. This was Williams' first trip to Boone, but he said that he was very impressed with the scenery and how nice the people are. He currently resides in Los Angeles. And for those of you who did not go to see the show, yes, Barry did date and eventually kiss both Marsha and Mom. This definately shocked some of the more obsessed members of the audience. But remember, it was only a show. Or was it? Barry Williams, also known as Greg Brady, performs at Legends.

Diverse artistic mediums to >e exhibited in Smith Gallery Jennifer Sharpe Staff Writer The Catherine J. Smith Gallery in Far­ ing Auditorium is hosting the opening the exhibition "Elastic Visions." The exhibit contains works from 20 fferent artists who used computers, inters, scanners and other kinds of tech'logy as their tools of creation. Joan Truckenbrod, curator and area ad of the art and technology departsnt at the School of the Art Institute of 'icago, said "each artist is a pioneer, irking on the precarious edge of tradi'nal media/new media." Truckenbrod also pointed out that 2re are "two dimensions of artistic ex^ssion in the electronic arena." The first -ludes the interactive elements, while the other involves art forms "remaining in a suspended electronic state until the artist gives them form," she said. Gallery director Hank T. Foreman agreed, saying that computer art has been around since the 1970's, but the artists of that time were "more interested in expos­ ing people to different kinds of technol­ ogy and concentrated on interactive things." Elastic Visions is an exhibit more con­ cerned with visual product and not a great deal of hands-on elements, he said. It also includes several multi-dimen­ sional works and is expected to draw much attention from the graphic arts stu­ dents and faculty at Appalachian. The exhibit will run through Dec. 13 and admission is free. The gallery is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. A recent study found that chlamydia was the most commonly reported infec­ tion in 1995. According to the American Social Health Association (ASHA), the need for more aggressive screening and treatment for this sexually transmitted disease is necessary. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which track 52 infectious diseases, received reports of 477,638 cases of chlamydia in 1995, more than any other infection. However, chlamydia is far more common than this figure indi­ cates. "Estimates of new chlamydia infec­ tions in the U.S. each year are as high as four million, making it the fastest spread­ ing STD," said Peggy Clarke, ASHA presi­ dent. "The great irony is that, if it is de­ tected, chlamydia is easily treated and cured." Chlamydia has no long-term effects if detected and cured in its early stages. However, undetected chlamydia has se­ vere consequences, especially for women. It can lead to pelvic inflammatory dis­ ease (PID), which can cause severe chronic pain and scarring of the fallopian tubes, causing infertility. PID can also cause an ectopic pregnancy, in which the fetus de­ velops outside the uterus. This is fatal to the infant and life-threatening to the mother. "It is difficult to detect chlamydia in­ fections, especially in women," said Dr. William Derrick of ASU Infirmary. 'The bacteria is located in the cervix, and there­ fore goes unnoticed." Chlamydia ap­ pears without symptoms in 75 percent of cases among women and 25 percent among men. "For men, the symptoms are much more noticeable. There is usually a dis­ charge as well as a burn while urinating," said Derrick. He urges men who have these symptoms to get tested immediately. "Chlamydia is the most common STD we see here on campus," said Derrick. "One of the most frustrating things we are faced with is the fact that most women are totally unaware that their partners have this disease. Many men receive treatment and never tell their partners." "Doctors at ASU Infirmary screen for chlamydia when they perform Rap smears, however, it is important to ask to be tested," said Derrick. "Many women as­ sume that their annual gynecological exam includes a test for STDs, or that Pap smear screens for these infections, but this is not always the case." Chlamydia patients are cured with antibiotics. Once cured, the infection is permanendy eliminated unless there is more exposure. Derrick recommends pro­ tected intercourse and open communica­ tion as the key to eradicating the spread of this common STD.

Play festival to showcase student productions Danny Sink Staff Writer The New Play Festival, which has been around for about 20 years, has become a tradition at Appalachian. November 1416 that tradition will be revived in the I.G. Greer Arena Theatre with the introduc­ tion of three new plays from some excit­ ing campus playwrights. The New Play Festival is a forum for students to write, direct, act and become involved with the production of plays. These one act plays are chosen from a bank of entries that are put before a com­ mittee involved with the Play Crafters. This years choices represent a bit of new blood mixed in with a healthy dose of experience. The first one act of the night, They Never Are, was written by Miellyn Fitzwater, a sophomore English major and first time New Play Festival writer. This play deals with the relationships that men and women become involved with, and the roles that sex can play in these rela­ tionships. Keeley L. Parker plays Sara, a young college-aged woman attempting to find what friendship really is, while dealing with relationships that are not always quite what they seem. This intriguing drama kicks off the night. It is directed by Nicole Bubolo. The mood of the night quickly takes on a smile with The Art of Dating and Other Tall Tales by C.F. "Snapper" Mor­ gan III. Snapper is well known for his play Showbiz, which has become well re­ nowned even past the borders of Boone. The Art of Dating and Other Tall Tales is a depiction of the turmoil inside and out of two teenagers' as they go along with see Festival page 6 rrainspotting delivers the goods about drug life Jeremy Ball Staff Writer The country that inspired ^veheart" gave birth to another film 5 summer which, although not as big ^ hit in the United States, was defiJly not any less brave. 'Trainspotting" is a British made film 'ch showed this past weekend in I.G. !er. It tackles more than just Holly°d. It addresses such topics as drug 'se, the meaning of life, alcoholism, > love, friendships and stealing, just to be a few. Eva M. Carter, a sophomore from Asheville said that she thought the film was "a statement about the human condi­ tion". But the film isn't melodramatic or sappy. It is successful because, first of all, it presents interesting and believable char­ acters. The film starts off by giving each of the characters a nickname, which au­ tomatically interests viewers as to why those nicknames exist and forces them to ask whether or not the nicknames fit. And it makes them more human. "Trainspotting" is focused on heroin addicts in underground Edinburgh, Scot­ land. But the film is not just about drug addicts. It is also interspersed with such characters as an extremely violent alco­ holic, an underaged seductress and a health nut who turns to drugs and gets AIDS. And the drug addicts aren't stereo­ types either. They have their faults and their good points, as well. The main character, although one of the most likable characters, also is a junkie who lies, steals and eventually rips off his best friends. And he has an illegal rela­ tionship with a minor. Are we supposed to like this guy? We do because the characters aren't stereotypes, they're human. That's why the film is able to say so much. The movie also presents a story that actually has a good plot. It begins with an action filled chase through the streets of Edinburgh, then flips back to what led up to that chase. The rest of the film is about what happened afterwards. There is a clearly defined plot which follows the main character's life. graphic violence with a point".

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

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

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

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

The results of the election made Clinton the first Democratic president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt to be elected to consecu­ tive terms. Clinton's victory over Dole came by a large margin, with 280 electoral votes to Dole's 106. To win the office of president, only 270 electoral votes are needed. Dole took North Carolina in the popular vote. Dole had 453,627 of the popular votes whereas Clinton garnered only 400,607 votes. North Carolina voters were also careful to deny giving Clinton a Democratic Con­ gress. In voting for a Republican Congress, voters helped keep a balance between the two parties. Jesse Helms managed to defeat Harvey Gantt in the race for Tell them what you think. Tuesday, Nov. 19 at 7:30 in the New River Room of the Student Union Sponsored by the Society of Professional Journalists. 1 HI the North Carolina Senate. Helms won a rare fifth term victory and the rematch against former the former Charlotte Mayor ended much the same way as in 1990. Helms has had plenty of political experience, having served in the U.S. Senate since 1973. He is also chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, a position in which he will most likely continue during his new term. To contact Helms at his Washington office, call (202) 224-6342. North Carolina Governor Jim Hunt was re-elected to an un­ precedented fourth term. In what could be the largest landslide in two decades, Hunt defeated Re­ publican challenger Robin Hayes. Hunt's agenda includes raising the average teacher's pay, reforming welfare and expanding the Smart Start children's pro­ gram. Other election results in­ cluded the victory of 93 year-old Strom Thurmond in South Caro­ lina and the defeat of Richard Petty by Elaine Marshall for North Carolina's Secretary of State. North Carolina also voted yes in school bond and road bond referendums. Also, 75 percent of the voters said yes to adding the veto power for the Governor. "I'm moderately happy that Clinton won even though I didn't vote for him," said Sopho­ more Eva Cartei; "but I'm glad Bob Dole didn't win. I don't know what was going on in people's heads when they re-elected Helms. I think Hunt's alright though." "Regardless of the bad publicity that Clinton received, I feel that he would be a better man than Dole said Louis Solomon, a junior at Appalachian. "I also feel that Helms is a bigot and I don't like him." Junior Rhonda Pitts said "I'm glad Clinton and Hunt won, but Helms is really out of touch. Hopefully Gantt will win next time." According to an article in The Charlotte Observer, voters have more confidence in the economy than in the president. When asked whether Clinton is "honest and trustworthy," 55 per­ cent said no. 60 percent said that they don't believe that Clinton told the truth about Whitewater, the failed Arkansas real estate venture.

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

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

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

Great conspiracy theory, part2...The election conspiracy Matt Russ Features Editor Was there really any question who (vas going to win the presidential elecjon? Was there ever that much of a doubt j,at Clinton would reign for another erm? Those who were avid supporters jf Bob Dole might have said otherwise, jut the fact of the matter is that he never iad a prayer from the very beginning. The media all over the country was naking predictions concerning the out­ line days before the election. Suppos>dly they had it all figured out. With all heir statisticians and political analysts ind new methods of predicting outcomes ar in advance, they were ready to tell he public who was going to win before cine had even voted. If this all seemed a little odd to you, rou are not alone. Let's take a closer look it the election conspiracy that we all vatched right before our eyes on every najor television network in America. First of all, NBC had a continuous re­ sults update at the bottom of their screen, letting you know who was winning and/ or who had already won in various other elections. They would occasionally bring this up to cover the whole screen when they thought they had some breaking news. The first problem with this was in the way they presented the data. They would give you the percentages of the popular vote each candidate had obtained thus far, in a particular state. Then they would put a check by the candidate who was ahead (usually Clinton) as if to proclaim he had already won. The numbers would add up to 100 percent, however, in smaller print at the top of the screen, it would read how many precincts for that state were report­ ing. Clinton would be claimed the victor, yet only 38 percent of the precincts were reporting. Hmmm... Secondly, all the national networks started posting incoming results, along with their predicted winners, as early as 6:30 pm, eastern standard time. Besides the fact that the east coast had anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour left to vote, it was only 3:30 pm on the west coast. West­ erners still had approximately four hours left before the polls closed. Hmmm... Not that everyone is that easily influ­ enced, but television and media play a big role in helping people make decisions for themselves, especially during election time. How many people decided not to even bother to vote once they saw who the media said was going to win? Hmmm... One final point is this: at about 6:30 pm NBC said that Clinton had already re­ ceived 275 electoral votes, proclaiming him the victor since you only need 270 to win. However, that many votes had not even been collected yet. Hmmm. Clinton would have more than likely won anyway. But, do you not feel a little cheated that a big part of the decision may have been made for you? Do you not feel as though the Clinton administration and the media had conspired to grab your votes... Hmmm... New Coffeehouse to bring touches of creativity to old Pub Kathy Beam Staff Writer Two classes in the Family and Con­ sumer Sciences Department have been working on refurbishing the Hawksbill Pub this semester, located in the Plemmons Student Union. Residential II and Contract I, senior level interior designing classes, have tack­ led the task of turning the pub into a cof­ feehouse. According to Sydney Wriggelsworth, a student working on the conversion, the dasses were first approached about do­ ing the project by Dr. Grbgory Blimling, the vice chancellor for student develop­ ment. The classes divided into groups and created designs for the coffeehouse. Each group then presented their ideas in a meeting to Dr. Blimling, Director of Stu­ Romeo and Brooks Small Reporter Romeo and Juliet Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes A news anchor reports from a small Revision in the middle of the screen in he opening scene of "William •hakespeare's Romeo and Juliet." From his initial moment, you know you're in or a drastically different spin on the age'ld tale. The town of Verona has been hanged to Verona Beach, a fictional city "hich seems much more like Venice 'each, Calif, than anywhere in Italy. The Montagues and the Capulets are ival gangs who wield pistols in the place f swords and drive around in soupedP sports cars. If you're wondering why the title inludes Shakespeare's name, it's because re dialogue from the play is intact. And re amazing part: it works! At first, I thought the Middle English dent Programs David Robertson and Stu­ dent Government Association members, said student Dawn Lineberger, who is also working on the project. The committee picked the compo­ nents of each design they liked the best, and the whole class went to work on de­ signing a coffeehouse including each dif­ ferent element. What will students see in the new coffeehouse? It's going to be "contempo­ rary and cool," says Nightingale. Plans are to keep the stage and the dance floor. Two platforms will be put against the walls closest to the stage. One platform will have a piano on it with some couches and comfortable chairs by the instrument. The other will have some pub tables with bar stools for seats. Throughout the rest of the room, there will also be pub tables. The group decided to add win­ dows to help open up the coffeehouse a little bit. They will be getting furniture from the famous contemporary designer, Thayer Coggin. Although the project's original budget was $35,000, they have been al­ lowed a little leeway by the University, which makes them able to afford this. All of the funds are provided by stu­ dent fees, says David Robertson. No tax money is used in the project. The most notable difference will be the addition of a fireplace. The fireplace will have shelves on either side that will possibly get filled with books. There will be a couch near it, along with some com­ fortable chairs. According to interior design student Mary Lynn McCoy, it will add a "scholarly feel" to the room. The coffeehouse will still be used for entertainment, although the type of en­ tertainment will be more like poetry read­ ings and acoustic performances. Robertson also mentioned the potential for jazz and piano nights, or an open mike night. The great thing about this project, ac­ cording to all the students interviewed, was the opportunity to gain some real life experience before heading to graduation. "Most people don't have the opportu­ nity" to participate in projects like this, said McCoy. "It's really cool" to see what you design come to life, said Nightingale. The students are heavily involved in the project. Everyone is required to put in 15 hours a week. This project also counts as a major part of the students' grades. Robertson called their "energy and commitment outstanding. They get in there and work. They have already helped tear out the ceiling tiles and take out the acoustic screens. They will be doing the painting and some other construction work." Robertson and the students both expressed concern over the completion of the project by the end of the semester. There shouldn't be a problem, according to Robertson, as long as the materials ar­ rive on time. The only thing that might be delayed is the windows, which may not be made in time. Design students aren't the only ones _playing a pan in the looks of the new hangout. There will be student art dis­ played on the walls of the coffeehouse. If you're interested in getting your art on display, contact Robertson in the Student Programs Office. Appalachian State University Food Service will not be running the coffee­ house. Instead, it will be independently contracted to a company called Tradewinds, out of Raleigh. The company roasts their own coffee beans and "they are very excited to start a company here at Appalachian," says Nightingale. The opening reception will be on De­ cember 6, by invitation only. The floor plans will be displayed in the Catherine Smith Art Gallery that night. Some fac­ ulty, the contractors, the students who worked on the project and their families will be invited to attend. Designer Thayer Coggin may also be in attendance, accord: ing to Lineberger. The coffeehouse should open to students next semester. offersJuliet twist Preparing your vehicle new for the winter ahead prose would get really tiresome as I watched the opening action scenes, but as the movie progresses, and especially during the two lovers' more tender mo­ ments, I couldn't help but be drawn in by the movie. The fact that the dialogue goes un­ touched, while so many liberties have been taken with the setting and action, is what makes the movie so fun to watch. Romeo, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, is on a bad acid trip when he meets Juliet at the Capulet's costume party. Mercutio, Romeo's long-winded, flamboyant best friend, drives a red sports car with per­ sonalized license plates. He also does a drag number at the party which doesn't appear to help Romeo's bad trip. There are some double entendres used with the original lines from the play, however. For instance, in the scene in which Mercutio taunts his enemy, Tybalt, "Come give me a word and a blow," it's obvious he's not talking about a blow with a sword. Tybalt is played by John Leguizamo as a svelte, hot-headed Latino gunman. He portrays the "Prince of Cats" perfectly, oozing with guile for everyone associated with the Montagues. Pete Postlethwaite, who played Keysor Soze's lawyer in "The Usual Sus­ pects," plays Father Lawrence, who se­ cretly marries the title characters in his church while the choir sings "When Doves Cry." Through his sad-eyed, reserved per­ formance, you can see Father Lawrence really wants things to work out for the lovers. The cross tattooed on his back is pretty cool, too. DiCaprio and Claire Danes, playing the star-crossed lovers, anchor the film with gut-wrenching performances. Al­ though it's hard at first to imagine Danes as someone other than Angela from "My So Called Life," she makes you soon for­ get Angela by playing Juliet with a com­ bination of wide-eyed innocence and an emotional depth beyond Juliet's young age. DiCaprio shows Romeo's leariness at the feuding that surrounds him, as well as the consuming passion he feels for Juliet. The quiet scenes they have together are the best moments in the film. Most of the people in the theater were crying by the end of the movie, despite the fact that they (hopefully) already knew the outcome. You feel so much for these two characters that toward the end, you re­ ally want there to be a turn of events to avoid the tragic ending. I guess most of the credit should go to the director, Baz Lurhmann, for hav­ ing the vision to present the play in such a unique and enthralling way.

On August 2,1996, the game of football flashed back to the tempo­ rary glory days of iron man football. The nation's beloved Deion Sanders became the first professional player in many years to start on offense and defense. Sanders was on the field for about 100 plays as the World Cham­ pion Dallas Cowboys took on the Chi­ cago Bears. Over the entire pre-season, the press jumped on the custom­ ized by BMW bandwagon Sanders was only happy to pull along. Sanders gave up baseball. So what? He wasn't that good anyway. How many times was he traded? Something like three or four times, off the top of ray nearly bald head. Deion didn't give up baseball, teams kept giving up on Sanders when his marketability wore out. Sanders, being the all-around flamboyant, press grabbing, gold chain wearing airhead he is, decided to play football "full-time," which I am glad he did, because he is the best defensive back in the NFL. With Michael Irvin being suspended for the first five games of the season for play­ ing "Superfly" In a hotel with two "self-employed" models, a little weed, cocaine, and a few tools of self plea­ sure, the stage was set for Sanders to apture the spotlight. Of course, the light was coming from the headlights )f Sanders $30,000 customized golf art, complete with stereo and air :onditioner. (A golf cart with an air :onditioner and no doors, doesn't :xacdy make much sense does it?) People should realize just because landers played offense and defense, hat doesn't make him Superman. If veryone else played both ways, I mess Sanders would want to run the ameras so they would be in place whenever he actually made a legit ackle. Football has grown in tremenous leaps and bounds over the last 0years or so. Players, personalities, alaries, attitudes, on and off the field "oubles and responsibilities have esalated to the point that the final froner is beginning to look small. For instance, Atlanta Falcons uarterback Jeff George was susended for fighting with his coach then he was pulled him from a game, 'ello, Mr. George, you were playing 3r the Falcons. I bet my junior high Aool team, which are also called the alcons, could beat the "big boys" if ley ever played them. The coach [as doing George a favor by taking •m out.

Eddie °rge of the Houston (possibly See NFL page 12 In a sweet ending to a sometimes bit­ ter year, the Appalachian State University field hockey team won the Deep South Tournament for the first time in 10 years this past weekend. Appalachian senior and tri-captain, Megan Corradino was named most valu­ able player for the tournament. Kim Blackwell, another one of the team's tricaptains, called capturing the tournament title a "total team effort." "It ended (the season) on a good note," said Blackwell. Five players were named to the alltournament team. Miki Bingham, Jenni­ fer Broderick, Jodi Crystal, Corradino and Andrea Pelliccio all received this honor. Appalachian played two games in the tournament, and won them both. The first was against Catawba on Saturday. Broderick, Colleen Martin, Mary Zesk, and Blackwell all scored to shut out the Indians, 4-0. Corradino had eight shots on goal and Kathryn Pearson had nine saves in the goal. The second game, played on Sunday, was another shut out. Dana Fabretti and Pelliccio had goals in the 3-0 win. The other goal was scored by Rachel Bergman, who normally plays goalie. Corradino led the team in shots on goal with eight. Coach Cathy Burleson was very happy with her team's performance. Since their win in Louisville, she "knew they would be unstoppable." They ended the season with three straight wins in Kim Blackwell in action earlier this season at Kidd Brewer Stadium with Megan Corradino watching in the background. Appalachian finished their season by winning the Deep South Tournament in Salisbury, (file photo) regular season play, which brought their record to 4-12. According to Burleson, the upperclassmen worked extremely hard to put everything together. As for next year, the team will lose two key players to graduation in Corradino and Broderick, but Burleson feels that some of the core players will step up to take over leadership positions, If the Apps do a good job recruiting there should be a marked improvement next year. Men's and Women's Soccer get ready for conference tournaments this weekend It David Jackson Staff Writer The fate of Appalachian's men's and women's soccer teams ride on this weekend's Southern Conference Tourna­ ment. A win, and the season lasts at least one more day. A loss means the end of a disappointing season for both squads. Men's Coach Art Rex takes his team to Greenville, South Carolina, knowing that the path to the championship will be a difficult journey. "It will be a tough road for us," said Rex. 'This has been a tough year for us and we hope that we can go down there and put something together." The Mountaineers meet defending tournament champion Davidson in first round action Friday at noon. The Wild­ cats finished the season with a 7-13 over­ all record, 3-3 in league play. Senior for­ ward Robert Clarke leads the Davidson attack, compiling seven goals and two assists for15 points during the regular sea­ son. Appalachian downed the Wildcats earlier this season as sophomore Naoshi Yamauchi sent a shot past Wildcat goal­ keeper Matt Hill with less than two min­ utes remaining in regulation to give the Apps' a 1-0 victory. Since 1988, Appalachian holds an 8-7 record in Southern Conference tourna­ ment play. The Mountaineers claimed the league crown in1990, as the Apps' knocked off The Citadel 5-4, in an overtime shootout. Appalachian took an early exit from last season's tournament as Georgia Southern handed the Mountaineers a 6-4 overtime loss. The last time Davidson hooked up with the Apps' in a post season contest was on Nov. 5,1994, as the Moun­ taineers downed the Wildcats, 3-1 in over­ time, to advance to the tournament finals. "In order for us to be successful, our upper classmen need to play real well," remarked Rex. "We really need to have all 18 players on the same page." The winner of the AppalachianDavidson contest takes on Furman, Sat­ urday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. The tour­ nament concludes Sunday afternoon with the championship match at 3:00 p.m. Women's Head Coach Tracy Davis is relying on the play of the younger mem­ bers of her women's soccer team as they head to Davidson Friday afternoon for the women's portion of the Southern Confer­ ence tournament. Davis' troops head into tournament play with a 4-14-2 overall record, 2-5-1in league action. The Mountaineers battle Tennessee-Chattanooga in first round ac­ tion Friday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. Appa­ lachian squeaked past the Lady Mocs in two earlier meetings this season by scores of 1-0 and 3-2 in overtime. The match will feature two of the top goalkeepers in the nation. Tennessee Southern Conference to be decided without Appalachian With a week off to rest themselves, the Appalachian State University football team can sit back this weekend and take in some of the other games around the country as they prepare for in-state rival Western Carolina. This week's big game in the South­ ern Conference will be the long awaited Marshall-ETSU match-up that pits the two conference leaders against each other. Marshall, ranked number one in the country, will try to take the Southern Con­ ference crown with them before moving up to the Division I-A Trans-America Con­ ference next season. East Tennessee State, ranked seventh in the nation, is the one team in the con­ ference that still has a chance to become the new champ if they can topple the Goliath named Marshall. One thing the Buccaneers will have working for them on Saturday is the home-field advantage For ETSU and its patented aerial attack, playing in the Mini-Dome is a decided advantage. It will probably be strange for some of the Mountaineers this weekend, as the fate of the Southern Conference will be decidedwithout their involvement This time last year, ASU was 9-0 and well on Mike Daniels Staff Writer sports commentary their way to winning the conference and going undefeated in the regular season, setting a state record for wins. Now the defending champs are basi­ cally fighting for that one thing that every good team with a couple losses at this time of year plays for; respectability. There is still a faint chance that the Apps could make the post-season. At 5-4 the Apps are ranked 26th in the country. For the Mountaineers to even have a chance at the post-season they would need to win out their last two games and rely on a million other things to hap­ pen around the country. So what happened to that team that always seemed to have a way to win? Where did that feeling - that no matter what happened, you always knew the Mountaineers were going snatch victory from the jaws of defeat - go? This team was ranked fourth in the nation and a vir­ tual lock for the playoffs at one point this season. How did that slip away so quickly? A lot of people say you can predict how a team will do just by their perfor­ mance in the first game of the season. I guess in the case of Appalachian, that theory holds true. The team's season opener at Wake Forest has proved to be a microcosm for the entire '96 campaign. They have not done altogether badly, but have had just enough slip ups to knock themselves out of the conference and playoff hunt. Against Wake the Mountaineers led much of the way and played well, but a few mistakes in the form of turnovers, and wrong decsisions ended up putting the Mountaineers on the short end of the stick when the clock read zero, losing to the Demon Deacons by the score of 19-13. As for the season, it's late in the fourth quarter, with the home team down by 10. It seems unlikely that the Apps will force overtime, but you never know. Stranger things have happened than a 7-4 team making the playoffs. Chattanooga's Iva English leads NCAA Divison I goalkeepers in saves with 257. Mountaineer goalie Kelly Guinn is ranked eighth in the nation in saves with 160. 'Tennessee-Chattanooga is not going to be a pushover," said Davis. 'They have had a difficult year, like we have, and they are going to be looking to make some noise this weekend. It is tough to beat a team three times in one season, but hopefully our players can rise to the occasion and finish up on a positive note." The Lady Apps' are searching for their first victory in tournament play. Last sea­ son, Furman sent the Mountaineers home with a 4-1 loss in first round action. The winner of the Mountaineers-Mocs contest faces tournament host, Davidson, Satinday at noon. "Right now I think we are playing well despite losses," said Davis. We have some injuries that are going to limit us a bit, but I think it will be a great way for our younger players to gain some valuable experience."

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

We are here to break that silence," said Holly Mullins at a National Organization of Women sponsored march against rape Campaigns target Boone Petty runs for NC Secretary of State Danny Sink Staff Writer On Saturday, The King came to Boone to campaign for Secretary. Richard Petty, the man pro­ claimed by his peers and fans as 'The King of NASCAR racing," is running for Sec­ retary of State in North Carolina. Although many people may have thought that the scene was nothing more than a celebrity autograph session, it was in fact a political rally. By the time that Bob Holton, chairman of the Watuaga County Republican Party, had a chance to announce Petty a crowd was already Darin Glass Monday-Friday 9 a.m-5 p.m. - •• ^ : • • - Vanessa Urrtiela Sditor-in-Chief: 262-6149 News and Sports 262-6233 Features and Opinion: 262-3104 Business Office: 262-2157 packed throughout the GOP headquarters. Holton painted the picture of the candidate Richard Petty and not the race car driver, citing Petty's 16 years as Randolph County Commissioner. Petty then verbally attacked his opponent, Elaine Marshall, and her claims that he was not taking this campaign or the job seriously. "I don't think that (Marshall) can match the experience I have in business, in politics, or in public relations," said Petty. "I'm not going to be sitting in an office, I'm going out and getting things done," said Petty. Petty also spoke on topics such as see Petty page 2 The march ended at Whitener Hall, where participants moved indoors to hear the community speak out against the act of rape. The room where the speak-out was held, designed to hold a maximum of 400 people, overflowed with spectators A member of the Kappa Alpha fra­ ternity said to the crowd that he was "pro­ active" against rape. A young woman claims she "...was gang raped at a KA fra­ ternity party at (the University of North) Carolina." After her statement, she hugged Do you feel like the world and gov­ ernment is getting you down? Well, get in touch with your natural side and check into the Natural Law Party. Natural Law Party candidates are on the ballot in 47 states and have other representatives in 50 countries. Thirtyfour candidates will be on the ballot in North Carolina. There are 200,000 mem­ bers which help to support getting in touch with nature. The party was formed four years ago and promotes a "problem-free" gov­ ernment. "If you want a better government, you must tap into the human potential," said Victor Pardo, candidate for U.S. Sen­ ate. Victor Pardo and Craig Berg, can­ didate for U.S. House, spoke at a rally held on Oct. 30 in Plemmons Student Union. They answered questions about their party and what they stand for. "We know that it will take some time for people to realize what we are about. If we don't make a change soon, we will run out of time," said Berg of the problems in government. Much of their focus is directed at see Natural page 2 See Stabbing on page 2 the KA fraternity representative. Another fraternity member said, "Greek men don't tolerate rape." "One in three women on college campuses are sexually assaulted. Men, con­ sider your mothers, sisters, and girlfriends," said NOW member Katie Messmer. A number of male students ex­ pressed concern for planning action until a response is given. Clancy Nolan, presi­ dent of the campus chapter of the National Organization for Women, said "to expect future action."

The march began with over 500 people gathered in front of Cascades Cafe. The crowd then marched toward King Street, shouting and stomping their feet along the way. "As a woman, 1 have a fear of the night and a fear of being alone," Mullins said. "What can we do to end this fear? I cannot give you an answer." A faculty member started the chant, "Break the silence! Stop the vio­ lence!" A 19 year-old Appalachian State University student was stabbed twice dur­ ing an attempted robbery Thursday night. Christopher Michael Charboneau was attacked in the alley between Hoey and Doughton residence halls around 11:30 pm. University Police Officer Patty Elkins said that when Charboneau was con­ fronted, a struggle ensued resulting in two stab wounds to Charboneau's leg. Elkins said that Charboneau is in good condition. Charboneau described his attacker as a white male dressed in black wearing black face paint. No arrests have been made. Thomas Stratton, a freshman and a Hoey Hall resident, said the campus at­ mosphere "...makes you think you're safe, when you're really not." "A lot of the guys still don't really woriy about things like that. It's the girls who are freaking out," said freshman Grant Dula who also lives in Hoey. Applications are now being ac­ cepted for three positions on the 1996-97 Student Government Association elections committee. According to Caroline Bumgarner, SGA rules committee chair­ person, the primary duty of the commit­ tee is to oversee the SGA presidential and vice-presidential elections which will take place next semester. Bumgarner said that in past elec­ tions, SGA has had some problems with candidates who do not comply with elec­ tion rules, and that the elections commit­ tee reviews such infractions. "The committee is also respon­ sible for planning debates between the candidates, making and counting ballots and publicizing the election," Bumgarner said. "Basically, the committee is there for the candidates," said Bumgarner. She said committee members do not have to be involved with SGA in order to work on the elections committee. While she has received applications from SGA senators, Bumgarner said that she "...would like to have applicants from outside SGA as well." "(We're looking) for someone who wants to do the work," she said. "(This com­ mittee) takes up a lot of time. We'd like (to have) someone who is unbiased and who won't have friends in the election, or who can separate his or her friends from the election." If more than three applications are received for the committee it is likely that prospective members will be interviewed as part of the selection process, she said. Bumgarner said the committee must be established before the final SGA meeting of the fall semester. Applications will be accepted through Nov. 8 in the SGA office on the second floor of the Student Union. �P. The Appalachian 5 November 1$ Page 2 Alumni leave awards Special to the Appalachian A banker, a general and a retired basketball coach received top honors from the Appalachian's Alumni Council Oct. 25. Austin Adams of Char­ lotte, Gen. William W. Hartzog of Norfolk, Va. and Sam Moir of Salisbury were recognozed for their outstanding career accom­ plishments and presented with the 1996 Distinguished Alumni Award. Adams is executive vice president of First Union Bank, the sixth largest banking company in the nation. He graduated from the university with a bachelor's degree in 1965 and a master's degree in 1966. Adams said the education he received at Appalachian, "...en­ abled me to take mediocre leader­ ship skills and develop in an environmnet I'm sure I couldn't have developed anywhere else." In May 1994, Adams led the largest systems conversion in U.S. banking history with the merger of First Union and First Fidelity Bancorporation. The con­ version involved more than five million customer accounts. Since 1985, First Union has executed an average of one acquisition every 54 days. Hartzog, who graduated in 1974 with a master's degree in psychology, is one of only 12 ac­ tive four-star generals in the U.S. Army. "I was looking for the op­ portunity to interact with students and faculty, and I found a warmth and quality here (at Appalachian) that I haven't found anywhere else," said Hartzog. Hartzog has received the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, the Army Distinguished Service Medal, a Legion of Merit award, a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. Moir won 58 percent of the games he coached at Catawba College, ranking him 14th in the nation all-time in victories among small college coaches. He led Catawba to the NAIA National Tournament in 1982 and 1983. "I owe a lot to Appala­ chian," he said. "Without this uni­ versity, I'd probably be a farmer in Stokes County," said Moir. Moir played professional baseball in the New York Yankee farm system in the early 1950s and has a winter basketball tourna­ ment named in his honor. The coach is also a member of the Catawba College Sports Hall of Fame. Stabbing from page 1 Pett/ from page 1 Dula said that the attack has been a frequent topic of con­ versation among Hoey residents. The violent nature of this robbery attempt has caused heightened concern for the safety of all Appalachian students. The Department of Housing and Resi­ dence Life issued a warning to stu­ dents Friday after the attack. Police are urging students to avoid walking alone at night and to be especially aware of sus­ picious individuals. Officials in the Depart­ ment of Housing are requesting that anyone with information about this attack contact the Uni­ versity Police at 262-2150. the student loan issue. "I come from the old school," said Petty. "I paid for my kids to go to college." Petty campaign co-chairman Bill Cobey emphasized Pettis plans to modernize the office, bringing in computers and other technologies to "speed up response to business and the people." Petty is known for a "quality job (done) quickly," said Cobey. He also said that this would be the case if Petty takes office. "He's a proven winner and a proven leader," said Mike Hagerty, president of the Appala­ chian State University chapter of the Young Republicans. "I don't think he's ever been in a race that he didn't take seriously." Natural from page 1 young people because they are the key in determining what happens in the future. Yogic Flying is a central focus in the party. Yogic Flying is the "maximum coherence of brain fuctioning," which results in "bub­ bling bliss" for the person, accord­ ing to a party pamphlet. This is achieved through structured medi­ tation tactics. They plan to have 7,000 Yogic Flyers to provide a powerful infuence of harmony throughout the country. "There is not really any other way to explain it , but you get a very light feeling and it fills you up," said Pardo of the flying.

We believe that Bill Clinton is the best candite for president as he is pro-choice, supports tax eaks for families with college students, has made :orts to improve the Federal Financial Aid Program d believes in community service programs like nericorps. Clinton is definitely the popular candidate due his skill at public speaking and down-home apal. However, we don't support him for his image, idier, we do so because of his stance on the above ;ues. Clinton realizes that pro-choice doesn't mean o-abortion. He has decidedly kept the govern»nt away from Roe-vs-Wade and has pledged to ep abortion safe and legal. We think that this is ;portant as every woman should have the right to oose what to do with her body. Clinton's tax break idea is a good one. If he is -elected, the future of financial aid will be se­ re. What this nation needs is for future genera>ns to be able to go to college without tremendous onomic hardship. Clinton's support of Pell Grants d the Direct Loan Program is outstanding. Clinton iderstands that education is the key to a free soci- V Clinton's support of Americorps (which has sufred tremendous budget cuts under the Republin Congress) is promising. The whole purpose of e program, taking the youth of the nation and lping them to improve education and the envinment in exchange for a small stipend is an excelit endeavor. Such programs boost the sense of cial responsibility among youth which promises a ighter future. Clinton is definitely in touch with today's nerica. He is an active man who has shown good idership and strong foreign policy. !ecent crimes should ispire cautious behavior Complaining about how ASU Police don't do ough has become a bad habit of many students re at Appalachian. We think it's time for students take responsibility for their own safety. What seems to have shocked many students even light of the "Peeping Tom" in residence hall showand the recent rape, is that a male has become a tim right here on-campus. The crime situation at ASU is definitely less seus than that of bigger schools in urban areas like ICC or NC State. The problem is that we take this granted and forget that it's really up to us to ;p ourselves safe. First of all, it's pretty obvious that you are more sly to be the victim of a crime when your guard is wn. When walking out to your car, don't just hop without looking in the backseat. Don't walk alone er dark, but if you must do so, at least look around x and be aware of your surroundings. Second of all, don't do anything to impair your Igement such as drink alcohol before walking oss campus during the day or at night. It's getting less and less safe here in Boone. We need to step back for a second and really think out what we should do about this. Crime prevenn is the key.

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

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

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

The question here is, who cares, baseball is about over and no one will be subjected to nine or more innings of boredom. It is time for the real sports to take over. College football, professional football, professional basketball, and as of 12:00 a.m. Tuesday Oct. 15, col­ lege basketball, are all underway. That's right, the real sports are back. I know a lot of you are saying what about hockey. What about it? It's played by grown men on skates on frozen water. Gimme a break. I will be the first to tell you, if hockey didn't have any fights, it would be baseball on ice, which it basically is. Now back to the real sports. Col­ lege sports have names such as Man­ ning, Johnson, Dunn, and a host of others, providing excitement minute by minute. These are just three names that could receive the Heisman at the end of the year. Why are thousands of fans, including myself, so excited by college football? Let me tell you why. First of all, they are not "paid". Sure they get scholarships, but they bring in a lot more money than their scholarships cost. Second, they play with more emotion than profession­ als. They are a lot more exciting to watch because of these raw emotional outbursts. Third, they actually get dirty. I mean they get chunks of dirt stuck in their face mask, dirt on their jersey's, and basically din everywhere. A lot of teams, including ASU, are playing on the worst invention of all-time, ar­ tificial turf, needless to say, a majority of teams still play on good old natural grass. Anybody who has ever played a football game on grass that is wet or damp knows what it was like to play football in the full glory of the sport. I COULDA BEEN A CONTENDER: This past Friday, the Appalachian State Women's Volleyball Team went back in action against Davidson Uni­ versity. The Lady Mountaineers were able to improve their record to a 6-3 in the conference with an impressive 3-1 over the visiting Bobcats. In the first game of the match, Ap­ palachian swamped the 'Cats with a 158 win. They then carried that momen­ tum into the second game to rack up an easy win by the score of 15-5. In the third game, the women from Davidson found some new life, taking a tight game 15-11. The party did not last long, how­ ever, as the Mountaineers destroyed the hopes of a Bobcat comeback, send­ ing them a home with a 15-5 pound­ ing in the fourth game. A huge effort was put forth by Appalachian's Cindy Kolomechuk. The junior had 51 sets on the match and a .300 hitting average. Also coming up with a big match were Paula Levay, with a team leading .370 hitting aver­ age, and Jennifer Rumfeldt with a .368 hitting average and 13 digs. The Apps put in an impressive team effort with a .276 team hitting average versus the .122 average of the Bobcats. The Mountaineers also got the job done on the defensive side of the net with 82 digs to 61 on the part of Davidson. After finishing up a quick home stop Sunday against Marshall, the Mountaineers will get ready for a three game road trip that will take them to Western Carolina, Georgia State, and UTC. Your probably thinking I sound like Al Bundy reliving his famous four touchdown game in high school. Well, I am kind of a high school college hopeful who's dreams were cut short by some injury. That's besides the point. The point is I am still a big fan of college football. I mean there is nothing like being with a lot of your drunken friends, yelling your brains out for your team. Laughing at the other team's stupid looking dog, frog, turkey, fish, or whatever their mascot is supposed to be. Plus, the fact that the other team's cheerleaders always look dumber from across the field al­ ways supplies a good chuckle or two. College football is nothing sort of a spectacle of college students, both new and old, letting out a week's worth of stress, tension, and frustra­ tion. It's almost like every time Dex­ ter Coakley levels an opposing quar­ terback, he is actually leveling that teacher who's exam you just failed. For teachers and former students, the quarterback is your boss or that pesky student who always has something to say. Yet, his answer has nothing to do with the question asked. FORMAL BUT FUN: Professional football is fun to watch. I have never been to a profes­ sional game, but it looks like a lot of fun. I can watch it on television and get into it, but sometimes it seems to formal. I mean you see every play a million times on instant replay. For goodness sakes, they have to keep their shirts tucked in during the en­ tire game. Luckily, John Madden's commentary makes it fun to watch. Especially when he draws all over the See Newtand page 8 �The Appalachian 5 November IS Women's soccer finishes on a losing no Newfand continued from page 7 screen trying to show you how a par­ ticular play was ran. The thing I like best about profes­ sional football is the personalities of the players. You have your gentlemen like Steve Young, Emmitt Smith, Dan Marino and others. Then you have my favorites, Brian Cox and Kevin Greene. Cox is not muscular, not fast, does not have a huge vertical leap nor does he have a bit of sympathy for opposing players. What he does have is a big outspoken mouth. That's why I like Mr Cox. Greene is another outspoken player that struts like Ric Flair after sacking an opposing quarterback. Maybe one day hell slap Flair's trademark figurefour leglock on an opposing quarter­ back. Hey, it could happen. RETURN OF THE CRAZIES College basketball is back minus a few superstars. That's OK, there are plenty more to take their places. Col­ lege basketball is great for several rea­ sons. Reason number ohe, the Cameroon Crazies. You have to love the fan support they give the Devils. Reason number two, my team (the Michigan Wolverines) have the next Charles Barkley in Robert Traylor. Rea­ son number three, Temple Owls coach John Chaney does not have John Calipari to go after this year. Chaney actually looks like an owl when he gets excited and his eyes start popping out of his head*' Reason number four, Tim Duncan is back to reign quiet terror on opposing teams. NOTHING BUT ACTION Finally professional basketball is back. Charles Barkley is a Rocket Allan Houston, Chris Childs, and Larry Johnson are New York Knicks. Kobe Bryant and Shaq are Lakers. Vlade Divac and Anthony Mason are Hornets. Juwan Howard and Chris Webber are back together again for the Washing­ ton Bullets or Wizards or whatever they are going to call themselves. Michael Jordan got 25 million to play one sea­ son. What does all this mean, nothing. The Bulls are going to win another championship ring. That is OK though, Shaq is going to be a poor free throw shooter again. Dennis Rodman is going to average a million rebounds per game. Patrick Ewing still won't win a championship. The Clippers will still be the Clippers. The second year expansion teams will look like, second year expansion teams. But, it will be sooo fun to watch. Dunks, three-point shots, hooks, fade­ aways and the whole nine yards. Ex­ citement is in the air. I see the real race for supreme glory happening between Sir Charles and Rodman for who will get the most ejection's over the season. With the baseball season ending, the college and professional big dogs, of football and basketball will more than make up for the long boring three plus hours grind that was pro baseball. Kathy Beam Staff Writer The Appalachian State Women's Soc­ cer Team had a bad weekend on the road, dropping two matches to Wofford and Georgia Southern to finish up their regu­ lar season. Friday, the Apps traveled to Statesboro, Ga. to take on the Eagles of Georgia Southern. Appalachian started off the game right with an early goal by freshman Ashton Robinson assisted by junior Farrell O'Quinn. But Georgia Southern responded in force with two goals in the first half and two more in the second, to win 4-1. Geor­ gia Southern had 20 shots as opposed to Appalachian's nine. Senior Kelley Guinn, the Mountaineer goalie, had eight saves. On Sunday, Appalachian State trav­ eled to Wofford College to face the Terri­ ers. Wofford also came out strong, scor­ ing four goals in the first period to take the lead. Senior Carolyn Mahony and freshman Katie Hand both scored unas­ sisted goals in the second period to brl the score to 4-2. However, it proved tc too little, too late for the Apps, as Wol scored again and went on to win byj score of 5-2. Appalachian only had nine shots goal again, compared to Wofford s Guinn had five saves in defeat. Appalachian State, now 4-14-2 en all and 2-5-1 in the conference, is se play the University of Tennessee-Cha nooga in the opening round of the So. ern Conference Tournament.

Appalachian's women's cross country team came out on top this weekend, cap­ turing the Southern Conference Champi­ onship. Appalachian State's men grabbed the runner-up spot in overall team com­ petition. Along with these honors, eight Appa­ lachian students claimed spots on the allconference team. Anthony Famiglietti, Stephen Thacker, Will Dickerson, and Jud Saver earned a position on the men's team, while Christina Olson, Mary Jane Harrelson, Jenny Chase, and Corie Fuchs reserved their spaces on the women's team. Appalachian Head Coach John Weaver, split the Coach-of-the-Year award with East Tennessee State University's Milan Donley. Rookies Anthony Famiglietti and Mary Jane Harrelson walked away with the Southern Conference Freshman-of-theYear awards. Three Appalachian State women fin­ ished in the top five of the individual com­ petition. Christina Olson, Mary Jane Harrelson, and Jenny Chase finished third, fourth and fifth respectively. The Appalachian men had four run­ ners land in the Top 10. Anthony Famiglietti finished fourth overall in indi­ vidual competition. Olson Spring Break '97. Book Now & Save!

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

The AppCard features a photo of the card holder and serves as a meal card, activities card, library card and residence hall access card for students. A joint project between Appa­ lachian and BB&T, the new identifica­ tion/debit card features a backdrop of a Watauga County mountain range and the Appalachian logo. The AppCard plus also features the BB&T logo. Magnetic strips on the back of the card contain information about the various services or accounts the cardholder is entitled to use. Students can use the AppCard to purchase meals at any of the food ser­ vices locations on campus, gain entry to sporting events, buy tickets for on-campus concerts, use the health and recre­ ation centers, ride the AppalCart and check out books from the library. Students who have the AppCard Plus will be able to access their accounts in Boone, or anywhere the HONOR sys­ tem is used in the state. The card can also be used in eight other southeastern states.

Hayes did not attack specific things that Governor Jim Hunt has done wrong, instead attacking everything he stands for. "I have sat there and watched for too long," Hayes said. "I felt like some­ times going across the state to grab him by the ears and shake him," Hayes said about how he feels Hunt has done in of­ fice.

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

"Passage of the highway bond will speed up the scheduled improvements of second­ ary roads in Watauga County which are already included on the state's transporta­ tion improvement plan, [and],..the state will actually save an estimated $93 million in inflationary costs associated with mate­ rials and labor costs.'

Approval of the School Construction Bond Referendum will make $1.8 billion available for construction and renovation projects across the state. Acceptance of a $950 million high­ way bond referendum will accelerate planned secondary road improvements, intrastate projects and urban loops. Approval of both packages will pro­ vide substantial benefits to Watauga County. The Watauga County school sys­ tem will receive a total of $3,858 million with passage ofthe school bond referen­ dum. A total of $2,615 million would speed up secondary road improvement projects in the county. Watauga County School Board Chairman James Deal is optimistic about the school bond passage. 'The board's top priority is to address the vocational edu­ cation needs at Watauga High school by constructing three new classrooms and renovating the current vocational educa­ tion classrooms. The state bond monies will allow us to complete some projects that we couldn't complete with the 1992 local bond monies," he said. Other goals, according to Deal, are Dr. Ballard �Pa; The Appalachian 31 October 1996 Hayes continued from page 1 looking for personal gain. Hayes was very critical of education and pointed out that North Carolina was 48th in the country in education. He wants to change this embarrassing statistic. "Hunt froze teacher's salaries so they could not get paid for their hard work," Hayes said. He listed performance pay as an alternative for helping teachers get more money. Hayes believes that hard work will qualify teachers for more money. He said he is willing to take away vacant positions to add more money into the economy. He also feels that this will stimulate growth by removing jobs which are not being filled. Hayes hopes that he can get into office and change government for the better. "People want honest government that works for them. Jim Hunt has no truth behind what he is saying," said Hayes. Bonds continued from page 1 sues, particularly the statewide school bond. "Anything which strength­ ens the public schools will eventually strengthen the University," he wrote in a letter to chancellors across the state. The bonds will be financed without a tax increase. Bonds will be repaid from existing state revenue sources. The monies will also be ad­ ministered by the local school districts. "Both the roads bond and school bond are very important to the I whole community as far as economic development," said John Brubaker, . Boone Area Chamber of Commerce president.

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

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

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

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

Without adequate facilities here, Weaver will be forced to take his show on the road and opponents will have to take their dollars elsewhere. "We would lose not only dual meets, but we would lose our chance to host the conference championships here as well," adds Weaver. "All of the people that would come in for such an event would be spending money in town. Without a thrower's area, we will be forced to travel to all of our meets which will end up costing us much more due to the added travel." With both the thrower's area and the baseball field being gobbled up by the construction of the Convocation Center, the university will replace what they take. That means that Weaver Weaver and the track and field teams will get their thrower's area, but not without headache. Athletic Director Roachel Laney remains hopeful for an early spring completion of the baseball field project, in time for the 1997 season. Whether or not mother nature will cooperate with the con­ struction is another story. If all goes well, the baseball team will begin the season with a new field and Weaver will still have his throw­ ing area in a convenient location. "Some teams aren't as fortunate as we are to have more than one assistant," said Weaver. 'Therefore, it would be hard to go off campus with the throwers when the runners are two miles away. With the thrower's area at Kidd Brewer, it would be easy for a coach to be able to watch both without having to worry aoout teavmg tne immediate area." Even through the track and field teams will eventually come away with a victory, their are still several other teams and groups that are trying to find a place to call home. In the coming issues, we will examine their options. *6 nights* -5 deluxe meals a day -Non-stop entertainment *$100.00 deposit due by December 2nd sm Come by or call us at: TRAVEL CONNNECTION 120 Appalachian Street 264-0802 1-800-890-0802 Always buying 35mm cameras, IBM 486 or higher computers, 10K, I4K rings, chains, bracelets, good or bro­ ken condition.

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

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

Pardo also urged the public to vote their conscience even though third ^ parties generally have little chance of win_ ning in elections for high offices.

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

Ric Beard Beth Bliss Staff Writer Students interested in learning a "different" foreign language should con­ sider adding an introductory Russian course to their spring semester schedule. According to Dr. Grigory Roytman, professor of Russian, Appala­ chian State University has a student body of approximately 12,000, but he has only 30 to 40 students in his classes each term. He said that this number is simply not enough. "The root of the Russian word for teacher is 'to give," Roytman said. "The idea is that I am giving, and I need people who will take [what I give]." According to Roytman, Russian is not an easy language for Americans to learn because it differs greatly from En­ glish. However, he feels that is a student takes one hour each day to "internalize" the language, he or she wilfbave few prob­ lems learning Russian. "There is this fear of Russia [among students] which comes from the era of the Cold War," Roytman said. "This fear is unjustifiable. Students will fall in love with Russian and with Russian cul­ ture if they try it." Roytman said that many career opportunities may stem from a knowledge of the Russian language. This includes opportunities within Russia itself. "Young people, especially Ameri­ cans, can easily make a living [in Russia," Roytman said. "There are opportunities in economics and business." Roytman also said that there is a great demand for English teachers. "Some people will pay a great deal of money to learn English," he said. "Everyone looks up to Americans and wants to speak their language. They need you." Currently there is no Russian major at Appalachian State; only a minor is available to students. But Roytman said that if more students show an interest in taking Russian courses, a major could be Fliers spa curiosity WE WILL NOT Fliers popped up all over Be ward the end of last week promptii students to wonder who was respi Two versions of the fliers were dist all over campus and along King S version, shown to the left was pc addition to another which reads CAN STOP RAPE."

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

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

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

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

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

Thirty-five were punished for their parts in the Pitts­ burgh-Houston brawl this month, with fines totaling $145,000. The Kansas City and Seattle contest Oct. 17 showed fans another exhibition of mindless fighting, and brought better than $70,000 in player penalties.

The project, designed to accom­ modate an estimated 300 students, should be completed during the 19992000 school year at an estimated cost of $10 million. Financing will come prima­ rily from room rental fees and parlor fees, which are dues residents will pay to share housing costs. Phase one of the project will in­ clude five structures to be located along the ridge above Kidd Brewer Stadium. Each structure will contain two four-story duplex style apartments to be adjoined by an elevator and living quarters for a residence assistant. Each duplex will accommodate between 26 to 36 people, with six rooms on each floor and two persons per bed­ room.

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

Volume 71, Number 14 "All the money made will go to the Watauga High Recreational Complex," said Matt Boijes of Kappa Alpha. This will be the first year for the event. The idea got started last spring when Gary Childress, Watauga High School, spoke to IFC on how to get more involved in the community. "This is really good community involvement. We would like to give just a little back," said Matt Godfrey of Sigma Phi Epsilon. Since Watauga High does not have an athletic stadium, this will help in giving them something to cheer about. They are still currently playing all out­ door athletic events at Kidd Brewer Sta­ dium. "Since they have to practice over at the Brendle's fields and other areas, it would be nice to have something to call home," said Godfrey. Dr. Alfred S. Alschuler, professor of counseling and human development, presented the problems of cheating and student dishonesty at Appalachian to mem­ bers of the Student Government Associa­ tion this Tuesday. "People [at Appalachian] don't think cheating is a problem, but it is," Alschuler said. According to Alschuler, a 1993 sur­ vey conducted by a Rutgers University re­ searcher examined the academic integrity of students at several universities, includ­ ing Appalachian State. This survey was conducted to gain data to compare to a similar study conducted in 1962, Alschuler said. As compared to the earlier study, the results of the 1993 survey were, "equal to or 100 to 200% worse than they were 30 years ago," Alschuler said. According to Alschuler, the survey said that one fifth of students questioned had received "unpermitted help" on an as­ signment. In addition, one third had helped someone cheat, plagiarized, or falsified a bibliography; half had used "unfair meth­ ods" to obtain information about test ques­ tions; two thirds had copied another student's test paper, or had worked to­ gether with another student against the wishes of a professor; and three fourths had seen a fellow student cheat on an exam. Alschuler said that he and ViceChancellor for Student Affairs Dr. Gregory S. Blimling further researched this prob­ lem in a 1995 article for College Teaching magazine. In the article, Alschuler and Blimling cited several reasons why college students may opt to cheat. Among these reasons were "supportive norms" ("Every­ one else is doing it"), "benefits" ("It helps me get better grades"), "costs" ("There is little chance of getting caught"), and "in­ dividual factors" (GPA improvement). Alschuler said that only 15 per­ cent of students at ASU consider cheating to be a serious problem. However, "It's not solely, or even primarily the students' re­ sponsibility [to stop cheating]," he said. Alschuler said that some conse­ quences do exist for faculty members who may confront cheaters. Alschuler himself was harassed, threatened, and taken to court by a former student whom he con­ fronted about plagiarizing in a Master's thesis. Alschuler told SGA members that an active participation by the student body is necessary if cheating is to subside. Better benefits?

Dr. A1 Rapp, associate vice chancellor for Adminis­ tration, said that approximately15 percent of each student's phone bill returns to the university. He said the funds are designated to support changes in Appalachian's telephone system. "The univer­ sity shares that money with the students. Funds have been used for fiber upgrades in residence hall wiring." Dr. Rapp said that recent projects included rewiring in East, Doughton and Coffey Halls. Sophomore Mandy Neal said she uses the ACUS system and does not mind giving money back to the uni­ versity. "It seems good because it helps us to get better service," she said. Dr. Rapp said that many students feel this way. "All our surveys have indicated that stu­ dents are very pleased with the service." In support of the ACUS system, he pointed out that AT&T has been chosen by the entire UNC system, and its rates are extremely competitive . During a meeting with AT&T last week, representatives told Dr. Rapp that ASU stu­ dents are paying between $.13 and $.17 per minute. He said that the ACUS system offers ad­ ditional services to students because it is the sole source for upgrades to Appalachian's telephone system. Dr. Rapp said that it takes a great deal of student telephone calls to fund a rewiring project costing around $100,000. Future plans include using this fund to give each student a personal data port and to upgrade the cable service to provide almost 78 cable channels in every residence hall.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The other side of the Florida coin for Marshall is their outstanding freshman transfer from Florida State who also played for Notre Dame, Randy Moss. Moss brings to the feild some outstanding speed and a great feel for the ball with 11 TD recep­ tions already on the year, only five away from tying the school record. Moss is gun­ ning for two Marshall records currently held by New England Patriot Troy Brown.

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

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

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

Staff Writer Visiting Writers Series Novelist Lee Smith, author of such books as "Saving Grace," "Oral His­ tory" and "The Devil's Dream" will be the featured writer at Appalachian State University's Fall 1996 Visiting Writers Series Oct. 24. Smith has received many awards and honors including the Lila Wallace reader's Digest Writer's Award and the John William Corrington Award for Literary Excellence. The program starts at 8 p.m. at •G. Greer Auditorium. Admission is free. For more information, contact Susan Weinberg at 265-0393 or Lynn Doyle at 262-2979. Hawksbill Pub, which has been used in the past as a gathering place for shows and events, will soon be converted into a coffee house. Dave Robertson, director of Stu­ dent Programs said the decision came about because the pub was not being used as much during the day as it had been before the renovations to Plemmons Stu­ dent Union. Robertson said the pub had once been used as a popular study area. But after the additions, students found the new lounges to be more comfortable and better lit, so the pub's use dropped. The idea of the coffee house was suggested by Gregory Blinding, vice chan­ cellor for Student Development. Blimling felt the coffee house would provide an­ other place for students to "gather and socialize." Robertson also said that a phone Strickland Award The William C. Strickland Award will be presented Oct. 25 at noon in Plemmons Student Union's Linville Falls Room.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Photo Bethany Parrish) Students come out to promote diversity Students and community members paint Rivers St. tunnels Sara Lewinter Staff Writer On Hiesday night, a variety of students came together to paint the Riv­ ers Street tunnels for National Coming Out Day which is Oct. 11. All colors of the rainbow were splashed throughout the tunnel walls. Both faculty and students went wild, col­ oring the tunnels with messages like "Vis­ ibility Equals Life!" and "Love happens." Children drew stick figures and smiley faces. A lesbian couple put their initials on the ground. A mother painted "Hate is not a family value" in black. "We need to help spread diver­ sity," said BGLAD Co-President Ericka Heath. "It's something that people need to be aware of." Flyers passed out at the tunnels stressed the constant need for increased awareness and the present urgency for equal rights through the words, "Ho­ mophobia is sanctioned by the Supreme Court." "It was great to see the straight and gay community coming together," said Student Government Association Senator Carrie Smith. Appalachian students painted messages of gay pride and tolerance in the tunnels. (Photo by Richard Thomas) �Page 2 Pi The Appalachian 10 Oct0 Senator Foxx to fight public record charges Beth Bliss Staff Writer North Carolina Senator and former Appalachian State University fac­ ulty member Virginia Foxx stressed that she is "an advocate for ASU students" in her address at the fourth business meet­ ing of the Student Government Associa­ tion Hiesday evening. Fox said that she felt the need to address SGA after a conflict with the Watauga County Board of Elections, who told her she would need to pay a substan­ tial fee to obtain a voter registration list from the county. When Foxx informed the county manager that, by law, she could only be charged for the cost of the paper used to make the documents, she was told that high rates were used because of student requests for such information. Foxx said that she was angered by this policy. "You're voters, you're citi­ zens, you pay your taxes," she said. "You deserve to be treated like everyone else." Foxx stressed that she wanted stu­ dents to be aware that the laws concern­ ing availability of public records had been changed. She also said that she plans to introduce a bill which would force county administrators to refund any money which may have been wrongly collected from those seeking copies of public records. "If we try to keep records from [one] citizen, we have the potential to keep records from all citizens," Foxx said. "I'm concerned about that." Foxx also said that several Appa­ lachian students had come to her with concerns about the ease of obtaining in­ ternship credit. According to Foxx, stu­ dents had noted problems with difficult faculty members. "My concern is that this univer­ sity treats [students] like customers," she said. "[Students] ought to be treated with great respect and is if [their] time is valu­ able." Foxx ended her address by ex­ plaining that she wants her role as a state senator to benefit Appalachian students. Foxx worked for Appalachian from 1972 to 1987. During her time as a faculty member, she served as an instruc­ tor in the sociology department. In addi­ tion, Foxx was the Assistant Dean in the General College and designed the current academic advising and orientation pro­ grams.

According to New River's general manager Donald Austin, the money used for the renovations comes from margins realized by New River. "However the university uses the money is ultimately up to them," Austin said. According to Vice Chancellor of Business Affairs Jane Helm, each depart­ ment had the option of submitting a list of classrooms they would like to see re­ furbished.

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

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

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

For more information call (704) 262-3020 weekdays from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. other happenings around the high coun­ try. Lynch is in charge of editing, getting footage, writing copy and many other du­ ties which keep her working 12 to15 hours per week on the show. Many of these du­ ties are the same ones that she does when she works with the national guard. She finds both of her jobs very re­ warding, but feels that her job in Boone, "unifies the area." She hopes that she helps the community get informed about what is going on. PAL seeks alternatives for dissection Beth Bliss Staff Writer Rather than spray-paint fur coats or destroy medical research labs, members of People for Animal Liberation (PAL) have chosen to fight for animal rights with a combination of student dedication and education. PAL, described by member Penny Godbold as "a small group with very ac­ tive members," has been a campus orga­ nization for six years. According to Godbold, over the course of PAEs existence, a main focus of the group has been the implementation of dissection alterna­ tives within the A.S.U. biology depart­ ment. According to sophomore Chantal tennis, PAL president, group representa­ tives have met frequently with biology acuity to discuss the feasibility of offer- ing various dissection alternatives (includ­ ing plastic models, computer simulations and films) in introductory level biology courses. "Our main issue [concerning] dissec­ tion is one of choice," Dennis said. "We feel that, as students, if we have an ethi­ cal problem with dissection, we should have an alternative. We feel an introduc­ tory level biology student should not re­ ceive a failing grade for refusing to dissect a corpse." Dennis said that PAL has offered to raise funds to pay for the dissection alter­ natives. However, Dr. Douglas Miekle, bi­ ology department chairperson, said that while PAL has "presented a good case," no alternatives currendy available will prove as effective for students as dissection. "We still feel [dissection] is a good learning experience," Miekle said. PAEs case consists of several main points, Dennis said. One key argument is that several prestigious medical schools (including Yale, Harvard, and Stanford) have laboratory courses which do not use animal dissection. Dennis also emphasized that the dis­ section alternatives could be beneficial to the biology department. PAL has experi­ mented with some of the alternatives and found them to be considerably low in cost. In addition, Dennis said that while frogs have to be purchased every year for dis­ section, plastic models and computer pro­ grams can be used again each year. Currently, PAL is circulating a petition concerning the absence of dissection al­ ternatives. Dennis said that approxi­ mately 600 signatures have already been collected, and upon receiving support from 10 percent of the student body (1200 students), PAL will present the petition to the biology department. In addition, PAL is receiving support from outside organizations. According to Dennis, the head of the Humane Society of America has offered to come to Appa­ lachian to serve as a guest speaker. "We're educating ourselves in order to better teach the student body and the biology department," Dennis said. sound is what they do best. While hard to classify, Agent Ink is best described as a rock band with all extremes of emotion represented in their songs. "I think we cover a lot of different kinds of music," says bassist Michael Allen of the band's sound. One of their distinctive characteristics is that they have three guitars going at once. In addition to Gaddy, Evan Rowe and Matt Cook play guitar, with Rowe han­ dling vocal duties as well. This trio of guitars adds new dimensions to an already difficult-to-classify sound. At times all three guitars can be chugging away on the same riff or playing distinctive parts. As mentioned, Rowe and Gaddy share vocal duties. This creates possibilities for harmonies and dual vocal lines. Each singer also writes lyrics, which presents the divergent songwriting tastes they each hold. After seeing the reaction they recieve from their audience, there is no question that Agent Ink caters to an as-yet unde­ fined style of music that people want. If you missed their last performance, you can see them with Sticky Friday night at the Pub. For all the attention they've been get­ ting as of late, there's still a couple of things that Agent Ink wants. "I want to hear my song on the radio," says hard­ hitting drummer Matt Harter. "I'd like to support myself doing this," says Rowe. Considering the rate they're going and the quality of the material they're putting out, Agent Ink should have no problem doing these and any other things they want. BLURS Agent Ink Boone's music scene is quite possi­ bly at the highest point that it's been at in a long time. With veterans like Sticky and 800 Octane rocking the mountains 35 usual, newer bands have a fertile at­ mosphere to grow in. One of the bands lhat have taken advantage of this climate is Agent Ink.

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

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

Can Appalachian repeat such a feat 1 after dropping their first SC game in over | two years Saturday at East Tennessee | State University? "I think anytime a team's got a loss, your back's to the wall. Hopefully, we can respond and bounce back from it," said Head Coach Jerry Moore. Furman University just might be the |i medicine that Appalachian needs to re| gain championship form, as the Paladins , charge into Boone this weekend for a 1:00 contest. The Mountaineers dropped to 114th in the nation, one spot behind the | Paladins, after their second loss of the year | to ETSU. This game will be critical in | determining whether ASU can remain in , the Southern Conference tide race. Moore said, 'We still have our primary 2 goal (of) a Southern Conference champi­ onship, but we realize we don't control ; ^ of the things in achieving that goal, 1 that someone will have to help us." Appalachian will first have to help themselves, although seeing the purple and white of the visiting squad should i "ting a smile to the faces of Appalachian's : defense. In the 1995 contest, they tied a ; School record with 11 total sacks, and four P'ayers each had two sacks in their con­ test with Furman. The game should not be easy for the ; Mountaineers, however.

Moore said, "We are facing a much improved, very good football team this week. We have to continue to work hard, focus, and correct the mistakes we made last week." One focus will be to get the rushing attack going once more. Against ETSU, Appalachian managed only 69 yards rush­ ing. Tailback Damon Scott, who entered the game averaging 6.4 yards per carry, averaged only 1.8 yards per carry last weekend. The same problems can be an­ ticipated with Furman. According to Scott, "I'm sure they're going to try and stop our runs." One bright spot in the loss to the Bucs was the passing game, which finally showed signs of life. Quarterback Gerard Hardy completed 17 of 28 attempts for 230 yards. Hardy had success against Furman last year, with 214 yards of total offense, rushing for 160 yards and passing for an additional 54 yards. "We've got the meat of the schedule coming up. Teams we're going to face....they're going to be as good as ETSU," said Scott. "We're going to go out and do the things we've got to do to win the rest of our games." Furman enters the contest with a 4-1 record, losing only to Atlantic Coast Con­ ference rival Clemson. The Paladins are 2-0 in conference play, having defeated Western Carolina 45-30 in their most re­ cent contest. ASU has won the last two match-ups with Furman, but the Paladins own the series with a 16-6-3 advantage over Ap­ palachian all-time. Rugby improves to 3-0 with win over Davidson Danny Sink Staff Writer The AHO Rugby team racked up anher win this past Saturday against the hitting guys from Davidson. With e 12-10 victory, the men of AHO move 0 3-0 on the year. The victory was not a dominating one 'y any means. The Apps repeatedly comKted knock-ons (a turnover resulting from the ball hitting any part of the body besides the feet and going forward). What the offense lacked, the defense more than made up for. The team did an excellent job of putting the hard hits on Davidson and coming up with some stops of their own. With about 20 minutes left in the first half, the AHO team finally broke into the try zone, taking a 5-0 lead. The extra points kick failed. The Davidson team was pressing for the remainder of the first half, lingering around the try zone. The tough AHO team was not giving anything away, however, and held on to the lead through the first half. The second half did not start out well for the AHO team. Almost 10 minutes deep in the final period, Davidson put three points on the board with a 30 meter penalty kick, cutting into the five point lead the Apps enjoyed through the first half. The Mountaineers answered quickly, when Greg Tart fell on a short kick into the try zone for a five point score. With a succesful point after try kick, the score was pushed to 12-3. With about 10 minutes left on the The Appalachian State Cross Country team has been one of the brightest spots in Mountaineer athlet­ ics so far this fall season. Through the first three meets, the Mountaineers are undefeated and have only really been challenged by Western Carolina. The six-team meet in Blowing Rock on Sept. 7 was the beginning of the winning streak for the Mountain­ eers. ASU won by an 18 point mar­ gin, 48-30, over UNC-Charlotte. The Mountaineers were led by sophomore Will Dickerson of Easely, S.C. who fin­ ished first overall with a time of 25:41. Senior Stephen Thacker of Burnsville finished third, junior Judd Sarver of Virginia Beach, Va. finished fifth, and freshman Anthony Famiglietti of Medford, N.Y. finished sixth to round out the top 10. The men's cross country team then traveled to Cullowhee to compete in the Catamount Classic. ASU once again prevailed, this time by a margin of36-33 over Western Carolina. Once again the Mountaineers were led by Dickerson who placed first overall ai d Thacker who finished fifth. Their most recent meet occurred on Oct.5 in Blowing Rock. The threeteam meet included Western Carolina and Brevard. Western Carolina made it a close meet, but ASU had just a bit to much depth and squeaked out a 5755 victory. So far this season, ASU is looking like the team to beat, as Dickerson has recorded three first place finishes in the first three meets. The Mountain­ eers will next compete in Charlotte at the North Carolina Collegiate Cham­ pionships on Oct. 19 in hopes of show­ ing why they are undefeated. clock, Davidson would put their last points on the board with a try of their own. The kick after was good and the score became 12-10. Davidson continued to threaten throughout the game, and missed a golden opportunity to take the lead off of a penalty kick. With the win, the AHO team will take their perfect record into their next con­ ference match against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons on Nov. 2. The next chance to catch the AHO team in action will be on Oct. 27 at 1 p.m. in an alumni game at State Farm Field.

Tonight, the Mountain­ eers host the Georgia State University Panthers in what will prove to be a tough non-conference battle. The Panthers dropped Appalachian 5-1 in Statesville, Ga. last year and come to Boone with 11 returning letter winners from that team. Forward Kara Fitzgerald and Angela Kelly will lead the Geor­ gia State attack for coach Jodie Smith. App Head Coach Tracy Davis sees this game as one of the most important of the '96 campaign. "We need to get back on track for the home stretch of our season," said Davis. "Georgia State has a good squad and will be a tough test for our group. Hope­ fully we can win this one and get some momentum back in our favor." Tonight's game with the Panthers will set the stage for a key conference battle coming up on Saturday, Oct. 19th. The Furman Paladins ven­ ture up to Boone for a match that has important conference tournament implications. The Paladins enter play this week with a 2-1 record in the Southern Conference and are sched­ uled to play conference foes Georgia Southern and UT-Chattanooga this week. The Mountaineers trail Furman by one vic­ tory in the win column and a win over the Pala­ dins will help determine where some teams will fall in the brackets for the upcoming Southern Con­ ference Tournament at Davidson, Nov. 8th-10th. "A win against Furman would certainly make things interesting come tournament time, but we can't get ahead of ourselves," remarked Davis. "We need to take our season one game at a time from here on out and that begins with tonight's game against Georgia State." The Mountaineers and Panthers lock heads tonight at 7:30 p.m. in the friendly confines of Kidd Brewer Stadium.

Most of the females thought t was so cool that a female was actually I,iaying football. So many females came f I m to me and said "I've always wanted to J lay football, but I could never play with I ill the guys. You are a lot more brave "JLan I am." I didn't think of myself as b jrave. I was just playing the game I love. I Then, I had the people that came up to I toe and said "Girls shouldn't play football." m just shrugged them off. I figured they B vere entitled to their opinion. W Football was a lot of pressure. I felt ike I was carrying the weight of the world ,n my shoulders. It seemed like if I had ' ailed, it would set back females. Another •male that tried to play football after me ould get twice the harassment if I hadn't >en successful. People would point to e as proof that "girls can't play football." jr a month before practice started, I was ihysically ill every time I thought about ; or went past the school. I woke up evjy game morning with butterflies in my omach, but still I persevered. I was once asked what my greatest ootball accomplishment was. I didn't iave a ready answer. I couldn't really hink of anything at the time. If that per;0n asked me again, I would tell them that ,y greatest accomplishment was the fact lat I played. I went out there as the only male and did something that no one else ad dared to do before. The season (and my football career) :nded with a knee dislocation the Moniay before our last game. We were doing pprints where we had to carry someone 50 yards. I had someone of equal weight, >ut he was shorter than I was. At the 50rard line, I squatted to let him down and my knee gave way. I had to be taken to the hospital. Five months of surgery, im­ mobility and therapy followed. My foes pointed to this and said it proved girls shouldn't play football, but a lot of people mew better. I still haven't fully recovered rom my injury, and I never will, but know­ ing everything I know now, I would do it all again in a heartbeat. RS. I creamed one of the guys from he opposite team that was really rude to ne. To this day he is still teased about >eing run over by a girl. I just think about is and smile.

Until recently, the Office of De­ sign and Construction shared an office with Maintenance as part of Physical Planning. Dr. Clyde Robbins, Associate Vice Chancellor of Design and Construc­ tion, said the office of Business Affairs decided to separate the two because of "the increased volume of construction activity." "The function has always been there, it is just being set apart. Admin­ istration has decided to give that func tion more designation," Robbins said. Robbins also said that there are about 40 construction projects on cam­ pus. He said that "In addition to con struction, the office will be responsible for re-roofing, window replacement, fire safety and ADA compliance, and pav­ ing.

At the Student Fees Workshop held Thursday in I.G. Greer, a meeting open to all students, Vice Chancellor for Student Development Gregory Blimling explained how that number came about. "This session was the first step in the process to educate the students about where their money goes," said Student Government Association Vice President Todd Poole. Although Thursday's meting was open to all students, the only student body present were members of SGA. Poole y pes to get students more involved in determining where their money is going in the future. "We're going to try to have a fo­ rum where all students can come and give their input," Poole said. The total amount students paid for tuition alone for the 1996-97 school year, $874.00 for in-state students, was an amount determined by the institutions of North Carolina. Appalachian has no control over the amount charged for tu­ ition. However, the general fees, fees and charges related to liquidation of in­ debtedness, subsistence fees, and miscel­ laneous service charges are amounts de­ termined by the budget committee com­ prised of students. Once the committee has deter­ mined these figures, they come before the SGA and present their final amounts. The state determines how much they think universities should be allotted each year. Of the money that the state gives the uni­ versity, Appalachian must reimburse two percent of it. In other words, for every dollar the state gives the university, we must give the state two cents. A recent report revealed that five state universities (Appalachian State, UNC-Chapel Hill, UNC-Wilmington, UNCGreensboro, and Eastern Carolina) are underfunded. In order to make up for this discrepancy, the state gave Appalachian See Fees page 2 Military science students finish cleanup duties Jeremy Ball Staff writer Although Hurricane Fran's path spared mountain communities, there were students on Appalachian's campus for whom the sound of howling winds down the mountain meant a call to duty. These students were members of the North Carolina National Guard. Gov­ ernor Jim Hunt called many units of the Guard into involuntary active duty to as­ sist with cleaning up, disaster relief and controlling looting in the aftermath of one of the worst storms North Carolina has seen. Master Sergeant Beasley, an in­ structor with the military science depart­ ment, said that students are not usually required to go on active duty. But with this disaster, there were seven students from the military science department alone who were called to participate with the relief efforts. Sonja Lynch, a junior from Ra­ leigh, got her call on Sept. 10. Her job as the videographer with a public affairs unit allowed her to see first-hand the effects of the storm. She said that news reports have not done justice to the amount of dam­ age that was done to the coast and to ar­ eas like Raleigh. She said that Topsail Is­ land, where the eye of the hurricane passed, was "totally demolished." Beasley said that most of the stu­ dents called to service returned within a week. Students who are called into active duty are officially excused from classes. But, one student, Sherry Boggs, missed so many classes that she decided to drop all of them except her military science classes. Despite the inconvenience that missing a week of classes caused Lynch, she said that her professors were "really supportive." And she says that being a member of the National Guard has given her experiences and benefits which she would never have gotten otherwise. She said that even her time out of school al­ lowed her to do, first hand, exactly what she is studying here. Lynch said "None of us join re­ ally thinking we'll get deployed." She said that most students join because of the benefits, like help with paying for college. But this recent crisis and deployment re­ ally "...brought some shock to a lot of people." �Page 2 The Appalachian 8 Oct Building Countinued from front page McLeod, because students will be able to take care of several things at once." The facility will be equipped with new furniture, more parking for visitors and much more operating space. According to Assistant Director of Physical Plant Operations Doug Cnipe, as soon as each office has moved into the new building, they will be fully opera­ tional. For students who need to reach these offices, Cnipe suggests that they call the office first to see which building they are located in. The phone number for each of­ fice will ring in both the old and in the new building," said Cnipe. According to Carol Wright of the financial Aid Office, the phones have been transferred to the new office, and atudents have had no difficulty getting through. Fees continued from front page $1.4 million in reversion money, which the university can only use one time. Auxiliary enterprises, which makes up 31.79 percent of tuition and fees, goes toward funding services and activi­ ties the university provides for students. Health Services, Residence Halls, Student Union operations, the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership and several other offices are absorbent, meaning that they are totally self-sufficient. According to Dr. Blimling, "AH of the money that you have in your budget, none of it comes from the state of North Carolina, all of it is through student fees. If we don't get student fees, we don't have a budget." Auxiliary enterprises also con­ tains reserves which are used in the case of accidents of students on campus.

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

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

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

For the past five years, the Super Bowl has been determined ba­ sically, by half-time. The Cowboy/49er dynasty has taken away the excitement of the playoffs and the Super bowl. Thank God for 1996. It finally looks as if there is no clear cut front runner from the NFC. Even better, it looks like the AFC could possibly stand a chance of winning it all. if you can recollect back that far, the last Super Bowl the AFC won was in 1982 when the Raiders beat the Redskins.

Strangely enough, it looks as if the Indianapolis Colts might have the stron­ gest team in the whole NFL with the im­ pressive wins over both the Cowboys and the Dolphins making them the only un­ defeated team through four games. Pitts­ burgh is lacking a quarterback, but their defense and Jerome Bettis make up for their loss. There are a handful of good teams on the brink of stardom, such as Denver, who features one of the premier quarterbacks in the NFL, John Elway, and have the top rusher, Terrell Davis.

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

Andy Jackins Dana PC Watson lights up Farthing ASU students participate in historic crusade Jeremy Ball Staff Writer Saturday night, the Doc was in the |°use. And it was a night that many lovs of acoustic music will not soon forlet. Doc Watson and Friends showed up Farthing Auditorium with guitars in and for a benefit concert to support the ost Polio Support Group of the High ountry. For those not familiar with Watson, is difficult to describe what type of lusic he plays. Does he play blues, bluerass, old-time or folk? Yes. Quite simly, if it can be played on the guitar, he lays it. And he plays it well. Although most of the audience probMy came to hear Watson, the event Urned out to be a festival of acoustic lusic with two incredible bands openig up for him. The first group was an old-time band lied Morning Dew. Old-time music is traditional music of the Appalachians, jut this band wasn't just for old-timers, he fiddler for the group, Alfred Mickels, 'owed the crowd with his expertise, and came as no surprise (except perhaps for lickels) when during the middle of one '°ng his bow broke. But the band played in and Mickels joined them to round out 1 set complete with bass, banjo, mandohi and accordion. The second band, Richochet, immehately put to rest a misconception that °nie members of the audience had by tiling the auditorium with the sounds of egrass. Apparently, a few had bought [heir tickets anticipating a country act. put what they saw instead was a group composed, mostly local boys, which is juickly becoming one of the rising stars n bluegrass music. Finally, the Doc appeared on stage. e joined up with his grandson Richard atson and friend Charles, to play a set ' mostly blues.

Ask the many students of Appalachian who traveled from far and near to hear the Rev. Billy Graham speak the weekend of Sept. 28 in Charlotte, and they will disagree. In fact, many of the students who attended the crusade held at Ericsson Stadium last Thursday through Sunday would probably say he is more ex­ citing than most people their age.

As a local superstar, it was an honor to have No apologies were needed. In preparation for the huge crowds, many large televisions were placed out­ side the stadium to allow the overflow of people to witness the performance of the musical guests and Graham's sermon. Reactions changed from cheers and sing­ ing to a standing ovation in the reverend's honor, upon his entrance. Tabin Youth intern for Mount Vernon Baptist Church, and full-time Appalachian student, Kyle W Connell, said he and other chaperones took 54 youth to be a part of the crusade which took two years to plan. Connell, who was among almost 85,000 others attending the event, said, "I don't think it would have been anything that it was, without the prayer put into it." Junior Appala­ chian student and Charlotte resident, Kerri L. Epps, had the show right in her backyard. The impression made on her was one of last­ ing nature. She said, "It was awe­ some to see that many people in one place worshipping God." Who needs popcorn and movie for entertainment, when all you have to do is go down the street? Though Dr. Graham will soon be call­ ing it quits on the touring scene, it ap­ pears his groupies will still revere his magnitude of honor and dignity. Senior Jeremy D. Keever, who attended the cru­ sade, said, "I thought the response given upon his stepping on stage was amazing. It wasn't just what he said, but who he is as well." Regardless of the beliefs of those around the world, surely all can respect the influence one man has had on the shaping of our planet. If it is difficult to see the global effects, why not take a look closer to home and the effects he has had on many students of ASU?

He invites her come up to his room. Is this a booty /,./«a j call or what? This topic and others were discussed during a program sponsored by Wellness Peer Education, in which female students gathered in Belk Hall to discuss the sub­ ject of rape. The women all agreed that victims do not ask for it, they do not enjoy it and if the victim says "no" or "stop," and the other person continues on, then it is rape. Still, there were three areas that sparked controversy. The first one was, if a woman consents to having sex while under the influence of alcohol and then sobers up later and says the alcohol made her do it, is this rape? According to law yes! The victim was mentally impaired and can press charges. The next question is, should a woman fight back her attacker? Some said no. If he sets out to rape you, nothing is going to stop him from doing just that. Others agreed that if he does not have a knife at their throat, or a gun pointed at their heart, then he is in for one hell of a fight. The final question is, if a woman ob­ jects to having sex with you, but does not stop you verbally or in a nonverbal way from doing it, is this rape? Yes it is. Ac­ cording to law, if a person does not ver­ bally say, "yes," then it is considered rape. In other words, communicate! The national statistics given out by the federal government show that most rapes occur between midnight and 2 a.m. Vic­ tims are usually college age and of the conservative nature. The attacker is known by the victim in 68.7 percent of the reported cases. At the end of the meeting, the women came up with a list of five things that could lessen the chance of a person becoming a victim of rape. They were: 5. Know your own limits and do not go beyond them. 4. Be aware of signals. 3. Use clear communication. 2. Know your environment. 1. Say no! A final piece of advice to booty call­ ers: if you don't get a verbal "yes," then please remain dressed. �Page 6 The Appalachian 8 Qct( Super Crossword ACROSS 1 Jeremy's partner 5 Word on a fuse 9 Pierce 13 Sign of age 19 Roman of "Hee Haw" 20 Roman province 21 Falafel holder 22 Like lemons 23 — Bator 24 In addition 25 Gulf state 26 Queen Anne chair? 27 Err 31 Boston brew 32 Female fowl 33 Clear (ot) 34 Banned substance: abbr 37 Derrick or crane 41 Part of TGIF 43 Eye-related 46 Caviar 47 Happen next 48 Tribe 49 Author Antonia 51 He gives a hoot 52 Oarsman •5 SofAEoig /, 1 Little sifcE.ssfJv' 1 19 23 , 2 100 Looks like 53 Seraglio Lothario? 55 CPR provider 101 — Plaines, III 56 "Morella" 102 Takes on monogram 103 Cowboy 58 Nail type name 59 Rational 104 '92 US Open 60 Kate & — champ 62 Pancho's pal 105 Actress 65 Irish poet Caldwell 67 Where the 106 Norm buoys are 68 Singer John 107 Arkansas hrs. 69 Mil. address 109 Canonized Mile. 71 Err 111 Err 76 Cable 120 Jan of opera channel 123 Pickable 77 Faux pas 124 "Once — a 79 Dostoyevmidnight sky'sfrom dreary..."

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

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

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

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

Phat slang deserves da' bomb I will admit, I am not exactly in touch with the rest of my generation. I have never been to a rave (I have heard what passes for music at these functions and it sounds like an IBM printer on the fritz) and I did not really mourn the death of Kurt Cobain (He was no Bob Segar). I have no desire to pierce any part of body (I have too many holes in my body as it is). I do not own any records by Hootie and the Blowfish or Snoopy Dog-Dog (I should not have to explain that one), and every time I see somebody walking around with their baseball cap on backwards, I have to giggle. It really makes me feel like a fish out of water sometimes. I would really like to understand all of the intricacies of my age group better, so that young people will think I am cool in 10 or 20 years when the "retro 90s" fad is in flower. Just imagine: "Hey guys, Bob's throwing a 90s party," they might say. I might even sport a vintage "mean people suck" sticker on the bumper of my 2005 Oldsmobile. But no, I will be just as alienated and misunder­ stood in the next millennium as I am now, because I just don't fit in. I suppose the one thing that really puzzles me about folks my own age is the way they talk. I can barely understand a word people say these days, and everything I do understand just makes me want to bloody people's noses. I always get funny looks when I say something is "a drag," or call someone "Daddy-o." We are just not speaking the same language. The following is a listing and commentaries on a few words and/or phrases that confuse me. If those of you who actually talk like this feel that I am mak­ ing fun of you, make no mistake. Of course I am. • "Mack Daddy" or "the Mack": This seems to mean Down Home with Bob by Bob Hutton Columnist a person or thing that is especially cool. I first heard this phrase in high school in a rap song (that phrase being a contradiction in and of itself) by those two 13-year-olds that wore their pants backwards. I imagine they might now be standing beside the interstate holding up a sign that reads, "will rap for food." That is not especially cool. • 'The Bomb": This also seems to mean a person or thing that is especially cool. Like most students here, I am a child of the Cold War, and I was brought up to fear "the bomb." But thanks to Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II, who defeated the menace of Soviet communism, we can now smile and tell our friends that the new Beastie Boys album is a nuclear warhead. Exercise your freedom America. • "Fat" (I realize that you're suppose to spell it with a super cool 'ph' but I'm not going to give you the satisfaction): Yet another one that means a person or thing that is especially cool, except that this time it's an adjective. You would think that in the slim and trim 90's, saying that something or someone is over­ weight would not be much of a compliment. Such are the intricacies of American youth culture. • "Awesome": Egad, one more that refers to a per­ son or thing that is especially cool. This one is al­ most justifiable since it is a real word. Still, I hardly ever hear it applied to anything truly deserving of awe. Maybe people are more easily awed than they used to be. Who said we were a generation of cyn­ ics? • "Jonesing": To have a great craving or inclination for or toward something. For instance, "I'm jonesing to vote for Jesse Helms in November" (the preceeding statement was made to supply The Appalachian with even more angry letters about Jesse Helms). My correspondent at Roanoke College in Salem, Va. once told me that this trendy little verbal morsel was in reference to the Grateful Dead standard, "Casey Jones." Maybe now you will think about it before you say it. • "Dude": This usually just means a guy, but it can also be a way of expressing inordinate excitement or profoundness at the beginning of a sentence (e.g., "Dude, I really like sour apple Jolly Ranchers"). • "All-Good": To say it's "all good" is another way of saying, "it's okay" or, "it's alright" (as in, "I just vom­ ited on your oriental rug dude, but it's all- good"). This phrase is misleading because it implies that, no matter what happens, we are enveloped in an aura of universal benevolence. Not to mention, it sounds like the name for a bran cereal ("try new 'All Good' and never be irregular again"). I guess now that I think about it, being alienated from my generation is not so bad after all. In fact, I like it better this way. So the next time some guy with a backwards UNC cap and a six pack of Icehouse vomits on my boots and tells me "It's all-good," I will bloody his nose. How do you like that, Daddy-o? Judicial affairs should remain closed clearly defined by anyone on either side. In the end, the university started giving the press access to crime reports. After the publication receives the report, it is mainly up to the editor to decide if the names of vic­ tims or suspects are used. In my opinion, any ethical paper will not print the names of victims. Since journalists won this little battle, some now feel they must wage another small war. This time, they want to do battle with judicial affiars at Appala­ chian because their sessions are closed to the public. The university's judicial affairs office handles cases which deal with violations of the student con- university judicial board of faculty and students will hear the case and decide if the student did or did not commit the violation. According to Lee McCaskey, director of judicial Viewpoint affairs, approximately 1,000 students come through by Renee Cagle the office, but the board only hears five or six cases Managing Editor for the entire school year.

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

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

Darin Glass Reporter The question is whether or not two best friends can live to­ gether in the same apartment? This question is answered in the "Odd Couple" by Neil Simon. Yet, this odd couple is different because instead of Felix and Os­ car, it is Florence and Olive. The "Odd Couple" can be related to by college students more so because of the tight spaces and confinements that we put ourselves through with roommates. The two, Florence and Ol­ ive, are friends who come to live together when Florence's hus­ band leaves her. The pantyhose start flying once the sloppy Ol­ ive starts to realize the insane cleaning habits of "Flo." The very colorful cast brings the individuality of each character to life. Olive, played by Angie Light, and Florence, played by Amy Harrison, go together like peas and carrots. The tough, sarcastic New Yorker atti­ tude bleeds through as Olive comes up with new names for her "Mr. Clean" room­ mate. The frail housewife Florence is paralyzed when she tries to walk up a step. Along with the roomies are "the girls" who come over to get stumped for Trivial Pursuit night, and the upstairs neighbors, Jesus and Manolo. The two brothers from Spain add a love interest and a Spanish/ English dictionary to the already colorful team. "The Odd Couple" is a nice perspec­ tive of two women who struggle to keep sanity through trying to live together. Photo courtesy of Theater and Dance Dept. The Odd Couple" The play runs through Oct. 2-6 at Valborg Theatre. Tickets are $3 for students and $5 for others. For more information or to reserve seats, call the box office at 2623063 between 2 and 5 p.m. Three-dimensional objects were actually laid on a color copy machine at Ohio Uni­ versity at Athens. Then the same picture was laid on the machine and copied over and over. The final products are eccen­ tric collages. A key to understanding what she is saying in her exhibit is to go through the exhibit with the thought that you are from another planet. She advises you to go into it thinking, "you're not an inhabitant of the 21st century Earth, but you're an in­ habitant of another planet, and walking into a natural museum of another planet." The Upstairs Gallery features an exhi­ bition of students' work from the ASU an depanment, called The Student Invita­ tional. The students' levels in this exhibit range from foundation classes to senior studio classes. It also contains a variety of all types of an, ranging from oil paintings to mixed media art; an that combines many differ­ ent techniques. The show was put together to recog­ nize some of the superb an that was pro­ duced by students, and to introduce new students to the depanment. The talent shows in each piece. "Dreamscape," by Steve Seven, expresses strong meaning, through the painting of an aerial view of nuclear missiles flying above two ritzy mansions. The houses are completely secluded in their lawns. Another work is a sculpture of a book which has open pages all around it. The book speaks about depression and sui­ cide. A viewer, Julie Humphrey, said at the opening Friday, 'The diversity is very impressive." The gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. These two exhibits will run until Oct. 25.

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

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

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

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

I I - George Bernard Shaw ^ |1|| //-\+^v \Xl 11 Our opinion Family Weekend Nightmare Ever notice about this time of each school year, things start to spruce up all over our lovely cam­ pus? Chains strung from wooden posts appear around grassy areas and suddenly there are plants where none were before. Must be Family Week­ end, huh? Mulch seems to sprout up everywhere and the occasional flowering plant gets placed in the per­ fect spot so anyone walking by can't possibly miss it. We've noticed that the Appalachian campus gets improved just in time for Family Weekend and we don't understand why these changes aren't made from the get-go. What's the deal? Are students not important enough to spiffy up the campus for? We appreciate the changes that are made, how­ ever, we resent the fact that they are not only put off until right before Family Weekend, they seem to be purposely created just to impress parents. We're the ones who trek all over campus sev­ eral times each day to get to class. Students are the people who have to eat in the cafeteria and other food services venues. We're the ones who continu­ ously have to dodge dog poop wh^h walking across Sanford Mall. We think that next year all the improvements made to our campus need to occur before we ar­ rive in August. We deserve the best, right from the start. If you tried to get anywhere off campus this weekend you probably had to sit through endless traffic. Most of us did. We didn't like it, either. Another problem with parent's weekend is the fact that students cannot park anywhere. For in­ stance, at Appalachian Heights the majority of park­ ing spaces were occupied by visitors. Basically stu­ dents are pushed off campus for parents. Perhaps the university should suggest the use of fewer cars by the families and maybe give the students some warning, like do not move your car until everyone leaves town. Family Weekend is basically a mess. Sure, there are little sessions for parents to find out more about what their kids are doing at school. Of course there's an Open House in the Varsity Gym where various clubs and organizations toil, giving out informa­ tion on colored fliers. Boooooring. The rain that fell incessandy all weekend should indicate to parents what the tour guides don't tell you- the weather in Boone isn't always pretty. When it rains.... you know the rest. We think that Appalachian is a wonderful school. Would we be here otherwise? We just don't believe that Family Weekend gives parents an ac­ curate view of what life and studies at Appalachian are like. So when the heck IS Fall Break? We'll give you three guesses. Nope, nope and nope. Seems as though anyone you ask about which days Fall Break occurs will give you a different an­ swer. Some say it's next weekend, others say it's the one after that. October 17-20 is the official Fall Break sched­ ule according to the univeristy Registrar, the Stu­ dent Handbook and most professors. So, if anyone tells you differently, don't believe the hype.

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

If I have a right to go somewhere else, I also have a right as a full-time stu­ dent to stay here and challenge these strict require­ ments.

Urruela Editor-in-Chief ^ | Bright and early on football game days, the sound of drums and other musical instruments echo across the mouni tains around the Appalachian campus. ne phis familiar sound means that North Carolina's Band of Distinction is prepar°" jng for another show. es, Boone's favorite local band is putting l0n the hits. Half-time routines are being re iperfected and music is being memorized. Welcome to the world of the Mountain­ eer football team's biggest cheering sec^ don, the ASU Marching Band. al Dr. Jay Jackson, a 1976 graduate of ^Appalachian and a former band member, jis the director of this talented group. He .'[supervises the marching band with help ls'ifrom graduate assistant Joe Akers, pernt j cussion graduate assistant Danny Lloyd and drum majors Jason Partridge, Stacey 'Bracket and James Cook. "The ASU Marching Band is the best I in the state. This has been proven to me 5t' through all the hard work I've seen," said Akers. The graduate assistant also said that he was drawn to ASU from his home state of Virginia because of the marching band. Color Guard choreographers Jen Grantham and Jen Carlson work with head majorette Leslie Macintuf to perfect the band's routines. There are also section and squad leaders for every section in the band according to instrument. The band is made up of more than 50 percent upperclassmen," said Katerie Wagner, a fourth year marcher. "I'm in the band because it's an outlet for stress release and it's exciting. Marching makes you feel like all the hard work is worth it." The band practices approximately six hours on the stadium field and in class each week. Besides Tuesday and Thurs­ day rehearsals from 12:00 to 1:45 p.m., there are weekly sectionals between one and two hours long. This is the time dur­ ing which each instrument section prac­ tices together. The members must also practice on their own time memorizing music and routines. All 230 members of the band came to school a few days early in August just for extra rehearsal time. They practiced from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. going over marching rou­ tines, training new members and learn­ ing the basics. The Marching Mountaineers' hard work paid off when they gave a high-spir­ ited, crowd-pleasing performance at the Wake Forest football game, Aug. 29. They played their "Retro" show, consisting of the popular tunes such as Saturday Night Fever, Hot Stuff and a Village People Med­ ley (Macho Man, YMCA, and In the Navy). On Sept. 28, the band performed die 'James Bond Show." Songs included the James Bond theme, Gold Finger, Live and Let Die and For Your Eyes Only. Upcoming shows include Paul Simon, Cartoon and Higher, Faster, Louder, but Not Sloppy. The students who march are as di­ verse as the music that the band plays. Music majors comprise 40 to 45 percent of the band. For them, marching extends their classroom experience. For students in other programs, marching rounds out their education and gives them an oudet to use their musical talent. Anyone who can play an instrument is encouraged to participate. The band's purpose is to support the football game, entertain the audience and provide the members an oudet for recre­ ation and relaxation.

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

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

For those of you who left before you turned into a human sponge, t, well, you missed one heck of a football Kinner's Korner Chris Kinner Assistant Sports Editor ' ,?ame' u Down 17-3 in the second quarter and Sf looking to be very much beaten by a fired up Citadel team, the Mountaineers staged jn exciting comeback that brought them ifrom a 14 point deficit to a 14 point vic^tory by the score of 34-20. 1 The game was a milestone for two prominent figures in the Mountaineer pro­ gram. Head Coach Jerry Moore became [he school's all-time winningest coach with 58 victories at Appalachian. Senior running back Damon Scott of Cedar "Grove, N.C. became the fourth Mountain­ eer ever to rush for 3,000 career yards. 1 But the thing that will make this game 'stand out in the memory of App fans at the end of the season will be the torren­ tial downpour that put a damper on the spirits of Mountaineer fans in attendance but not the Mountaineers themselves. Senior linebacker Joe DiBernardo of Mi­ ami, Fla., who had Appalachian's only in­ terception of the day, said that the team "couldn't have asked for anything better" in reference to the slip-and-slide condi­ tions that wreaked havoc on the Citadel offense. The rain came down sporadically throughout most of the first half. Mid­ way through the second quarter, the hownpour began and never let up for the jest of the contest. Coincidentally, it was it around that time that the Mountain:rs began their comeback. Down 17-3 six minutes into the secind quarter, the Mountaineers' Jeff ireene, a senior from Boone, was able to fecover Citadel running back Deon lackson's fumble at the Citadel 18-yard ine, putting App in position to score their irst touchdown less than a minute later. Dn their next possession, the Mountainters were able to drive 64 yards on six lays to tie the score at 17 all. Scott said hat "...(the team) didn't really look at it as a wake up call," referring to the team's tarly deficit. "We knew sooner or later we kere going to start getting it in the endaone." The Mountaineers continued "getting it in the end-zone" in the second half. After allowing The Citadel to go up 20-17 on a 47-yard field goal by Justin Skinner, the Apps came back to take the lead once and for all. Freshman Chuck Payne of Hampton, Va. returned Skinner's kick 42 yards to the Citadel 40-yard line. From Sports Commentary there Scott led the way, running the ball four times on the eight play drive for 16 yards and the go-ahead touchdown. From there on out, the Mountaineers were able to shut down the Bulldog of­ fense while racking up 10 more points on a Jay Sutton field goal and Spencer Reeves touchdown run. On their last chance, the Bulldogs went for it on fourth and 20 but fell three yards short due to ASU defend­ ers Dexter Coakley and Gord Fenderson. For Moore, the victory was an emo­ tional one. After the game Moore said "I'm just happy... there was a time when I didn't think I was ever going to coach again, then I got a chance to come here." Moore said that he couldn't say breaking the record "...wasn't important, because it was." In seven years with Appalachian, Moore is 58-30. The old record was held by E.C. Duggins who went 57-25-3 in eight years with the Mountaineers during the periods from 1947-1950 and 1952-1955. DiBernardo may have best summed up the feelings of the Mountaineers when he said that Moore "...deserved it, and earned it." Overshadowed by his coach's mile­ stone, Scott also had a record day. The senior ran for 216 yards and two touch­ downs on 29 carries. He fell just two yards short of breaking his own record of 218 yards which he set last season agains North Carolina A&T. Scott did manage t< break into an elite group of Mountainee rushers by becoming just the fourth per son in school history to run for over 3,00( career yards. With this win, the Mountaineers stan< at 3-1overall and 1-0 in the Southern Con ference. The Citadel, which came into th< game 2-1, having lost only to national W power Miami, now stands at 2-2 overal and 1-1 in the conference.

The first game started out fast, with the score rotating back and forth between both teams. After a 6-6 tie, ETSU broke out, scoring five unanswered points. Then it was ASU's turn, fighting back to score seven unanswered points. The game turned into a grudge match, with both teams altering points, but would end up going to the Bucs, 16-14. In the second game, the Mountaineers struggled, allowing Buccaneers to score the first 10 points in the game. Both the offense and defense played poorly in this match. The Lady Apps only offensive breakout was when they scored three straight points. Unfortunately, that was all the offense they could muster in this 15-3 loss. In the third game the Mountaineers were able to break out of their slump and dominate. After being down 2-0, the Lady Spikers scored 10 straight points on the Bucs. ASU controlled the match with good defense and with consistent scoring. The Appalachian defenders held ETSU to five points in the match to win by the score of 15-5. The Mountaineers needed a fourth game win to force a fifth and deciding match. Unfortunately for Appalachian, ETSU managed to rattle off 10 straight points after leading only 6-5 to take the game 15-5. "It was a tough loss to open the conference," said Coach Dave Markland. "We let the first game slip away, and then in the third game we gained some momentum. We hoped that the momentum would have carried through in the fourth game, but ETSU adjusted and controlled the game. We just need to regroup and continue," Markland said. The Lady Spikers were led by Stephanie Young, of Advance, N.C. and Paula Levayof Mt. PleasentS.C., who both had 10 kills in the match. Cindy Kolomechuk, of Waynesville, N.C. led the assist department, with 31. The Mountaineers next game is at home against on North Carolina A&T on Tftesday at Varsity Gymnasium. The match begins at 7:00 p.m. NEW BEGINNING: After reading Joy Stanley's criticism of my article in the Sept. 24 issue of The Appalachian, I have become a changed man. So I would like to start this article by thanking God for my writing skills and talent. I am sure that my previous 14 years of writ­ ing experience have had nothing to do with my ability, but everything to do with His divine will. BIG HEADS: Say what you will about Kerry Collins' absence for most of the game, but the Carolina Panthers' loss to Jacksonville was more a result of swol­ len egos than anything else. DOAK DOMINATION?: North Caro­ lina proved Saturday that Florida State can be tamed in Tallahassee. Virginia will prove the 'Noles can be beaten there. DUH!: The Baltimore Orioles, after fallout from the incident in which Roberto Alomar spit on American League umpire John Hirschbeck, issued an apol­ ogy Sunday. It began, "We do not con­ done spitting on umpires." FILL ME IN, COACH: It would be a good idea for ASU coaches to hold clin­ ics for the student body to explain the basic rules and procedures for their par­ ticular sport. Can you imagine an arena full of fans who actually know what they are yelling about? LET IT RAIN: Rain forced the Buick Challenge goIf tournament to be reduced to a mere 36 holes rather than the full 72, the second consecutive weekend a tour event has been shortened. One can only hope this pattern continues. GO WEST, YOUNG MAN: It seems that the balance of power in the National Football League has shifted, from the NFC East to the AFC West. After Sunday's action, four teams in the AFC West are 4-1, while only Washington is 4-1 in the NFC East. A PURIST SPEAKS: The expanded playoff format makes the professional baseball season (and postseason) more exciting, but the coming addition of interleague play will pollute the game to the point that it will become sicken­ ing to watch. TOUGH GUY: Did anyone see Trent Dilfer's feeble attempt to tackle Detroit safety Bennie Blades on an interception return? It looked more like the quarter­ back was trying to hold his hand. . BRIGHT FUTURE: Seattle Mariner shortstop Alex Rodriguez, at age 20, is the probable MVP in the American League this season. If Seattle can keep both Rodriguez and Ken Griffey, Jc un­ der contract, and pitcher Randy Johnson healthy, they can become the next base­ ball dynasty. The Atlanta whats? ESPN'S DREAM: Just as the base­ ball season is winding down, the hockey season is gearing up, and basketball be­ gins in less than two months. Since most professional seasons overlap to some ex­ tent, maybe team owners should con­ sider getting more for their money and have their teams play year-round. CHANGES: Jeff Gordon's victory in the last-ever Winston Cup race in North Wilkesboro symbolizes the new; ultracommercialized road that NASCAR is taking, following in the tracks of MLB, the NBA, and the NFL How long will it be before free agency invades the rac­ ing world as well? •: BYE-BYE BROADWAY. OK, I had the right city but the wrong coach. The New York Giants' victory over Minnesota Sun­ day saved Dan Reeves'job, but the Jets can never win enough games to save Rich Kotite's head. Wait a minute, the Jets can never win. WOMAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY Olympic heroine Keri Strugg has aban­ doned her Atlanta gymnastics team­ mates. While the other six gymnasts are touring the nation together Strugg is performing solo. The reason? More money. Is there a sport yet to be plagued by greed and money-mongers?

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

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

Another summer project included interior painting and door refinishing at Eggers Residence Hall. Future plans in­ clude the renovation of the Eggers Lobby. Roof replacements are planned for Winkler, Lovill, Cone, Hoey, Doughton, and Mountaineer Apartments. A circulat­ ing water line replacement, which in­ cludes all copper piping from the entrance of the building to the top floor, will take place in Doughton and Lovill. All plumb­ ing fixtures in these residence halls will take place at the same time. Windows will be replaced in Bowie, Hoey, and the Mountaineer Apart­ ments. Security screens for ground acces­ sible windows will be installed at Appala­ chian Heights. In addition, landscaping will be done at Appalachian Heights and Coffey Residence Hall. �Page 2 The Appalachian 26 Septembef Expansion from page Butterworth receives outstanding faculty award ASU News Bureau Dr. Diane Butterworth, a professor in Appalachian State University's Depart­ ment of Family and Consumer Science, received the 1996 Outstanding Faculty Award from the College of Fine and Ap­ plied Arts. The award was presented at the college's annual fall convocation held Sept. 5. The college gives the award to a full-time faculty member who has taught at Appalachian at least two years and who exemplifies the university's three mission points: research, teaching and service. Nominations are made primarily by stu­ dents, faculty and alumni. The award was established in 1992 and includes a bronze medallion, $1,000 cash and $500 to use for travel and/or instructional supplies. In presenting the award, Dr. Ming % The 1.

She has collaborated much of her nutrition research with faculty in Appalachian's Health, Leisure and Exer­ cise Science department. Butterworth earned her Master's Degree in public health from the Univer­ sity of California in Los Angeles and her Ph. D. in public health from Loma Londa University. She is a registered and licenced dietician. "I truly enjoy teaching here," Butterworth said about Appalachian. "I look at it as an opportunity to be excel­ lent, and I think every day how much I really enjoy the students.

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

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

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

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

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

No ^s, no helmets, just some really hard g action. Rugby has 30 guys on the jd at one time and only one referee. iat can make for some really interesting don. Scoring in Rugby takes place when player kicks the ball into the try zone [the equivalent of an end zone in foot) and is touched by a teammate, or ien a player carries the ball across the al line into the try zone and touches ie ball down. Each of these is worth five lints. Rugby also has an equivalent to (ball's extra point. The extra point may accomplished one of two ways; by kick,g the ball through the goal posts in the irmal football fashion for two points or drop kicking the ball for three addiional points. I "Rugby canbe a very fast paced, inter­ esting game. It has two halves, 40 min­ utes apiece, with only a five minute half pme. David Zelch, the vice-president of the ipalachian rugby team, loves the fast paced, action packed aspect of the game, 'ith play only stopping for an out of mnds or an injury, something is always going on. Players may not pass the ball forward (they are only allowed to lateral or back pass) and must release the ball immedi­ ately when they are tackled. With the lack of pads, and the fact that the Appalachian State Team (known as the lHO Rugby Club) is reputed as "the hardst hitting team in North Carolina," it is asy to see how injuries can occur. In this tuff man's game" each team is only aliwed two injury substitutions, and if anyne else goes down, the team has to play inan short. Danny Sink Staff Writer sports commentary The Rugby team in action in a match last fall at State Farm field (photo courtesy of Intramural Sports office) Compare that with football, where even with protective equipment someone is being carried off the field every time you turn around, and the athletic ability necessary to play Rugby becomes obvious. Rugby has been at Appalachian for quite a while now. When the team was first getting started, Appalachian would not recognize the team as being in affilia­ tion with the school. A few guys got to­ gether that lived on Aho road (hence the name) and started up their own team. When App finally recognized the team, they just added the school's name to the one they already had. Rugby is known as "the hooligans Women's soccer picks up win over conference foe UTC Eric Ehlers & Kathy Bean Staff Writers ; Coming off a disappointing loss '•against Charleston Southern last week, the Lady Mountaineers looked to re­ bound with a win over conference rival Tennessee-Chattanooga. The UTC Moccasins came to Kidd Brewer stadium posting a 1-3 record and an 0-1 conference record. The match marked the first game against a confer­ ence rival this season. The ladies came out aggressively, with the defense playing tough through­ out the first half. The ladies limited UTC to only two shots on goal in the first half, i Goalie Kelly Guinn of Adanta, Ga. helped lead the defense giving up no goals. The App defense was led by senior Carolyn Mahoney of Charlotte, N.C. and junior Becky Neal of KernersvQIe, N.C. | However the Moccasins played good defense also, allowing ten shots on goal with no score. Farell O'Quinn of Char­ lotte, N.C. led all shooters with three shots in the first half. The beginning of the second half was 3 continuance of the defensive standoff. Both teams would not let up on each other until the 61:01 mark of the game. Shelly Erickson of Charlotte, N.C., headed in a shot to put the Mountain' eers up 1-0. The shot was set up on a 11 corner kick from Katie Hand of Charlotte, kC. The Mountaineers would keep Tenn-Chattanooga out of the goal in r°ute to a shutout. Offense was a big reason for the win. The ladies outshot the Moccasins 22 - 4. The ladies also had 12 corner kicks com­ pared to no corner kicks by Tenn- Chat­ tanooga. Farell O'Quinn lead all shoot­ ers with five shots on goal. The defense only allowed four shots on goal to create the shutout. "It was a good win. Our team had been struggling but tonight they showed their potential," said coach Tracy Davis. After this big win, the Lady Moun­ taineers headed to Greenville, S.C. to face the Furman University Paladins. Al­ though the game was kept close in the first half, Furman did prevail 4-2. In the first half, Furman scored at the 6:34 making the score 1-0. Melissa Sutton of Furman University followed this up with the first of her three goals. In immediate response, Appalachian State freshman Allison Robinson from Huntersville, NC scored with an assist by sophomore Megan Kennedy out of Kemersville, NC. The Lady Apps' Allison Osborne, a sophomore out of Raleigh, NC, scored to tie it up before the half. However, Furman came out strong in the second half. Melissa Sutton scored two more goals for the Paladins, giving her a hat trick for the night. Furman had 16 shots on goal, com­ pared to Appalachian State's 10. Both teams had five saves. Osborne lead the Lady Apps with three shots on goal. According to Brian Lee, coach for the Paladins, "It was a tight game. The crowd helped tremendously in motivating our girls to pull ahead in the second half." The Lady Mountaineers are now 2-6 overall and 1-1 in the Southern Confer­ ence. Appalachian State will be on the field again on Saturday, September 28 against East Carolina in Asheville, NC. sport played by gentlemen." It seems only fitting that the team's motto would come from William Shakespeare: "He today that bleeds with me is my brother." Joe "Eli" Caldwell, President of ASU Rugby, said that the best quality that the team has is heart. "You can be fast or you can be big, but for this game you have to have heart." Treasurer Matt Swaney said, "We're almost more friends than we are team­ mates." Swaney thought that even if he was not playing Rugby, he would still hang out and party with the guys on the team. The camaraderie that this team has is amazing. The guys from the Rugby team are known as their "own kind of frater­ nity," says Zelch. The hard hitting team from ASU is well on their way to a great season, with a win over the Marines of Camp Lajune in their last game. Zelch scored the winning try of the game in the 14-12 victory. This Saturday, one of the biggest Rugby rivals with ASU is renewed against Western Carolina. Game time is 11:00 a.m. at the State Farm fields. Rugby, the hits and the blood, the friends and the camaraderie, the game and the parties. It's a game where for 80 minutes, gentlemen really do become hard hitting hooligans. Mountaineers gear up for The Citadel Chris Kinner Assistant Sports Editor wart defensive front. ASU allowed the Colonels only 17 rush yards, and oppos­ ing teams are averaging a meager 1.4 yards per rush against the Mountaineers. This does not bode well for the Bulldogs, who predominantly use the rushing at­ tack. Last season, The Citadel gained 322 yards on the ground against Appalachian. The Citadel returns 18 starters this season, and they surely remember the 2824 come-from-behind victory the Moun­ taineers snatched from them in Charles­ ton last year.

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

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

The issue regarding the dates of Easter vacation was also discussed at the Calendar Committee Meeting. In the past, students have been given Friday and Mon­ day off, splitting the vacation days with a weekend. Joel Williams, Professor of The­ atre and Dance and Chairman of the Cal­ endar Committee said, "Scientists have the biggest problem with splitting those days out." This disrupts the science department because two weeks of lab are affected in­ stead of one. According to William Dobson, the science department has lost money be­ cause they are having to throw lab mate­ rials away due to the cancelled labs dur­ ing vacation. "The fewer weeks we can frag­ ment, the better off we are," says Dobson.

It is .j,e second year Meister l)aS won recognition and cash award from the American Society of Composers, Artists and publishers. The award re­ flects the society's connnued commitment to assisting and encouragjng writers of serious jnusic. The award is granted by an indepen­ dent panel and based on the unique prestige value of each writer's catalog of original com­ positions as well as recent performances of those works in areas not surveyed by the society. Meister has more than 50 pub­ lished works, and his compositions have been performed around the world. Of his more recent works, "Higaz," was per­ formed at this year's Spoleto Festival in Charleston, S.C. His work was one of 12 selected for performance from more than 250 submissions. The work was influenced by Meister's Arabic music studies and incorpo­ rates Arabic melodies and rhythms.

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

When walking to class, one only has to look up to see the beautiful mountains that encircle Boone. It would be a shame 110 spend four years, and for some of us even longer, at ASU and not take advan­ tage of the resources that abound through­ out the surrounding area. Outdoor Programs is an organization here on campus that is designed to help people do just that. For anyone who has ever wanted to go rock climbing or white water kayaking, but has never had the opportunity, Out­ door Programs is there for you. Any stu­ dent or faculty member at ASU can take advantage of Outdoor Programs. No experience is needed. All you have to do is stop by their office, located in the plemmons Student Union, and sign up. The organization offers numerous trips including everything from caving and mountaineering, to canoeing and funyaking. And for those of you who would like to set out on your own, Out­ door Programs also offers canoes, tents, sleeping bags and much more that can be rented. Matt D. Kwartler, a sophomore from Jacksonville, Florida, says that one of the great things about Outdoor Programs is the fact that it is mainly student run. Anyone who is interested can get involved. One of the most recent things that Kwartler was involved in was an overnight white water kayaking trip that took place Sept. 21 and 22. One of the exciting things about this trip, Kwartler said, was partici­ pants that had no prior experience were going to be able to kayak class three wa­ ters, a difficult task without an experi­ enced instructor. Many more trips such as this are planned throughout the year. On Oct. 5-6, Outdoor Programs will be taking its first trip out to the Turtle Is­ land Preserve, an environmental educa­ tion center and nature preserve owned by Eustace Conway, in Watauga County. On this trip, participants will reach back to their roots and try to get back to the natural world by learning primitive outdoor living skills. After a long hard week of class, why not take a trip outside to relax, try some­ thing new or just have some fun? For those of you who came to Appalachian for more than just the academics, Outdoor Programs has something for you. For more information, just stop by the Outdoor Programs office Monday through Friday between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m., or call 262-2475. Climbing onward and upward, an Appalachian student looks for the next finger hold.

All it took was a Je (albeit remarkable, ground-breakfabulous, etc...) album; Nirvana's albums or artists aren't rel­ it or even around after five years in i business. Things change and so do ople's tastes. So, it's particularly amazto me that the album that brought Be whole "alternative revolution"still ages to sound fresh and vital today. If there was ever a hostile yet oportune time for change, 1991 was the fr for it. The political mood of America staunchly conservative, with Presint Bush in office and the country still ig from the effects of the gulf war. (music world was captive to the hair bands of the Eighties and the one hit won­ ders of the pop world. Late that summer, the radios and TVs of the world got a taste of things to come with the success of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit." They wanted more. On Sept. 24, they got it. Nirvana's second album, Nevermind, lived up to the expectations of underground and main­ stream music fans who had been excited by 'Teen Spirit" the month before. The undergroimd fans were relieved by the fulfillment of the prophesies provided by such bands as The Velvet Underground, The Replacements, Jane's Addiction and R.E.M. The mainstream fans saw their opportunity to break away from the hohum rock that the record industry had continuously pumped out to them in the Eighties. Nevermind's effects are still being felt today. Nirvana paved the way for such later success stories as Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins and Bush. Pearl Jam and Soundgarden were spotlighted in the ini- tial wave of Seattle bands that were given a chance as a result of Nirvana. Green Day took the raw poppiness of Nirvana and injected it with punk. The Smashing Pumpkins elaborated on the Nirvana sound even more and have been elevatec from cult heroes to rock stars. Bush-noth ing but a British Nirvana, folks. If we were being brutally honest, Nirvana changec things in the music world and none of the bands that we hear today would be here if it wasn't for them. The cultural repercussions o Nevermind were quite interesting, as well. The sloppy look became marketable be­ cause of Nirvana and similar bands People went out looking for old, trashy merchandise, including guitars, cars and records. It was finally cool to be thrifty. After Nevermind, our generation wasn't force-fed the same old crap being recycled on the radio and that equated to us not settling for the same old crap in any other medium: politically, socially or economically. But that's just me, isn't it. Oh, well, whatever, nevermind... Sublime's new album is subpar Jim Hazen Reporter In the world of underground ska/ Punk bands, there are a lot of angry People. These people are mainly angry at those bands who de­ rided they are not much bet­ ter off than the rest of the sellnuts, and have sold out as well. They actually had enough dis­ respect for their art to sign with a big label and make some money. With this influx of sell-out rockers, have come bands in­ cluding the annoyingly apolo­ getic No Doubt (the sellout band that has still managed to remain cooler than everyone rise), Rancid and Sublime. However, Sublime is sepa­ rated from the gang by a little something people tend to look Past. That would be talent. Sublime's eclectic mix of ska, punk, reggae and hip-hop sampling is interesting and admirable, if not enjoyable. Sublime's latest, and last, self-titled disk (MCA) was released a c°upl of months after lead singer/guie tarist, Bradley Nowell's death this sum­ mer. Yet another rock n' roll tragedy, one Would expect an album with references te struggles with drug abuse and addic­ tion. This album has references to such problems, yet the lyrics are almost a cel­ ebration of days spent under the influence of dangerous substances. It would seem well and good if it was just good fun and Rolling Stones-esque rock living, but this man is dead. Think about that the next time you hear Sub­ lime playing at a party. Not that you necessarily would want to play it at a party; the first few songs would be great. Jump up and down, dance, knock each other over, etc. Good party fun. But after about the sixth song, someone will start demanding to know who put the CD on repeat. That is exactly what the CD is about musically. It goes from catchy, to mildly amusing, to boring, to mildly annoying, to begging your roommate to shoot you. If you do not like ska, stay away from this album. If you like ska, you will not for a while afterwards. Lyrically, if you're really into drugs, drive-bys, and women's various parts all being discussed in about 37,000 (actu­ ally, just 17 very long, annoying) songs, then this is for you. As a bonus, every song makes some ref­ erence to smoking marijuana! It's good that they had something to say. It is sad, however, that three very tal­ ented individuals smoked (or in some way wasted) their tal­ ent away, leaving two without a band and the most talented member dead. When the next rock drug tragedy happens, I only hope the person can leave more of a public legacy than a celebra­ tion of what killed them packaged in dis­ gusting artwork. Two stars BlueHags shake your booty Jim Hazen Reporter For any of you out there who have no idea what ragtime is, I give you exhibit A: the Blue Rags. Look up "ragtime" in the dictionary, and you will see it is an old jazz style char­ acterized by strong syncopation in fast, even time. So, what does that mean? Well, it means that when you hear this music, you are going to get up out of your seat and shake your booty. But who are The Blue Rags? The Blue Rags hail from Asheville, and have been around in some way or another for about four years. They have mainly played in the Southeast in areas such as Atlanta, Charleston, and Raleigh, but also had some gigs in Switzerland. The Rags have always had a strong following in the Boone area, and have done extremely well whenever they have played up here. The band consists of a stand-up bass, drums, piano, two guitars, and harmonica player/singer, Abe Reid. In an Asheville newspaper article, Reid is described as sounding at times like Louis Armstrong. Describing their music is a challenge. Though ragtime is the most prevalent part of the mixture, there is a also a little bit of blues, funk, bluegrass, jam, and boogie. Jacob Holly, the Rags' piano-player, said that the Blue Rags are playing "the poor man's ragtime." This differs from the Squirrel Nut Zippers, who play the "rich man's ragtime" and swing. Holly went on to say this is the older ragtime music that was popular a little bit before the turn of the century. The Blue Rags have no albums as of yet, but are negotiating with Sub Pop Records (previous home of acts like Nir­ vana, Soundgarden, and Screaming Trees) for a record deal. Rumor has it, that if the deal goes through, Greg Dulli of the Afghan Whigs will produce the album. It is puzzling why a label such as Sub Pop, known for pioneering the grunge grunge. Actually, Sub Pop has been mining this new alternative music such as Combus­ tible Edison for the last few years now. The label is looking to branch out to these new kinds of music that are becoming in­ creasingly popular. The APPS Stage Shows council is bringing The Blue Rags to Appalachian on Sept. 26th at Legends. Tickets are $3 in advance and $5 at the door.

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

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

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

According to Dr. Siegfried Herrmann, executive director of the foundation and vice chancellor for uni­ versity advancement, the foundation received 23 percent more than last year. "As a result of this, we have achieved a new level of support for the university's academic programs and scholarships. This would not have been possible with out the generous financial support of the Appalachian Family," Herrmann said.

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

The fact that students and pro­ fessors alike may have their course loads increased sometime in the near future was discussed Monday at the faculty sen­ ate open forum at I.G. Greer. Due to post tenure review, pro­ fessors at the university level may no longer have any job security. Tenure is a contract in which professors work for ap­ proximately five years and then become permanent members of the staff. The post tenure review would eliminate that and could cause problems for many people.

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

"Instead of waiting for students to come to us, we are going to the students," said Poole. "We are reaching out to the stu­ dents." SGA will attend club and organization meetings to inform students about new information on campus and listen to sugges­ tions, ideas or complaints, accord­ ing to the letter sent to all organi­ zations on campus. Poole says SGA hopes to accomplish three things through Operation Outreach: to inform, to listen and to represent. Poole also said SGA will be using media the office has never used in the past, such as The APR comment cards and the university's vax system. "We're pulling out all the stops to represent students," said Poole. 16 hours 437 mj m1' 7 6,737 mi. 14 hours, 30 mins. 6,450 mi. 1 14 hours, 30 mins.

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

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

Not only is it a well-used area for biking and hiking, it is also an excellent educational tool for many Appalachian students. There is a growing con­ cern as to whether this area will be available to stu­ dents in the future. With the growth of the univer­ sity comes added development. However, develop­ ment does not have to occur at the price of Boone's largest contiguous forest. Many students decided to attend Appalachian for the beauty of it s natural sur­ roundings. Although many upperclassmen have the opportunity to visit areas such as the Blue Ridge Park­ way, there are numerous students who do not have access to a vehicle. The campus woods provide an excellent area for outdoor recreation. Those students who often use the campus woods as a classroom should express their opinions on the educational value of this area.

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

At Fort Union Military Academy, he was top defensive performer and team captain. Last year he was named national de­ fensive player-of-the-week twice and con­ ference defender of the week three times. He was also national I-AA defensive player of the year and the Southern Conference's athlete of the year. He was also named a first team All-American by the Associated Press, The Sports Network, Walter Camp, the American Football Coaches Associa­ tion and Don Hansen's Football Gazette. Coakley also picked up several more awards and honors in his first two sea­ sons with the Mountaineers. In short, the man can flat play some football. "Dexter is a great leader. He works extremely hard in the off season," said McNeill. "Dexter is not only the best line­ backer I've coached, he's one of the best football players I've coached in my 17year period." So the big question remains, what about all the talk about the pros? A lot has been said about Coakley as a possible first round draft pick. He certainly has the talent, as has been proven with all his awards. "I think Dexter is going to be success­ ful in whatever he chooses," said McNeill. "Whether it's football as his career or whether it's business. It doesn't matter what route he goes in. Whoever picks him is going to have a great football player or a great person and if he doesn't play for the NFL, he's going to be a successful per­ son and I'd hire him in a heartbeat."

Football's just started, base­ ball season is coming to a head, and bas­ ketball is only weeks away. As these sports begin to dominate headlines, once again we hear the mild protest over athletes' rising salaries. Shaquille O'Neal and Michael Jordan are only two of the many NBA players who have recently negotiated chin-dropping contracts. The stars of every other sport, including golf and tennis, make salaries far beyond what most people see in a life­ time. Illinois teacher Joanne Adams Niehay wrote a shrewd letter to the USA Today editorial page, musing over what our world might be like if teachers were pam­ pered like sports stars. "All I can think about is endorsement contracts," she wrote, tongue-in-cheek, "for pencils, paper, books, chalk, shoes (teachers' feet need to be comfortable), baggy jumpers with pockets, and horizon broadening travel." The clich that calls sports a business, and not really a bunch of games, is over­ used. Yet it's very true. Over and over again comes the double standard: it's un­ believable that men get so much money for running up and down a court in shorts. But ask yourself why other men and women rake in two and three times as much for starring in, producing and di­ recting cinematic experiences. Remem­ ber the musicians who earn millions for playing instruments and singing. It's not the athletes who deserve all of the blame. They aren't the ones who need to be showered with cries of "greedy." Our society should absorb that responsibility, if anyone should. Sports figures, like musicians and movie makers, only profit from the system that all of us inherited. We still buy the team jerseys, caps, endorsed shoes, posters and game tickets. With one hand, the consuming public con­ tinues to put money in the pockets of ath­ letes and owners. The other hand is used to shake our collective finger in their di­ rection. Those same people might look in the mirror, if they want to see someone familiar who is just as obsessed with grab­ bing material things. If being able to buy "stuff" wasn't important to the complain- ers, neither would be the number of dol­ lars someone else is making. Entertainment is a business. It is also largely a joke that exposes a flaw in our­ selves, and it's nothing to get huffy or hopeless over. Our values may be topsy­ turvy, but it will take more than letters to the editor to get teachers atop America's payroll. An effort by parents and com­ munities to foster respect for teachers might help children see their teachers more as role models. But until then, we may as well sit back and enjoy the game without dollar signs hanging in our heads, in the same way we would relax with a CD.

Legendary Colonels coach Roy Kidd said, "This game is important for us not just because we're 0-2... but because of what a quality team we're playing." No matter who ends up winning the game, the contest should end up shuffling the IAA polls a little bit. Appalachian and EKU feature similar style offenses with a heavy emphasis on the ground game. The Colonels return 1,004 yard rusher William Murrell, while ASU will probably rely on Damon Scott, who has already racked up 330 yards on 46 carries this season, and quarterback Gerard Hardy, who has also rushed for W be I Chris Kinner Assistant Sports Editor The Appalachian State University women's volleyball team started a new streak Sunday, and kept it alive Tuesday night with a win over the Spartans of UNCGreensboro in three games, 15-7/ 75. 10, and 15-8.

"We know from experience what kind of program we're preparing to play, and we know what kind of atmosphere we will deal with in Richmond ... we know this will be an awfully tough game for us."

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

Appalachian's retention rate for out-of-state students is 82 percent, down from 85 percent in 1993. According to Associate Vice Chancellor for Student De­ velopment Robert K. Feid, the university wants to do everything possible to help students and increase the retention rate.

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

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

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

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

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

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

It's groovy, it's funky and it's just plain cool. The whole disk gives you a general good feeling. Other than the first track, however, there really is not a song that stands out as the best, nor is there one that stands out as being the worst.

Soul­ ful voices can also be heard throughout the disk, giving it a feeling of a wellrounded, completed piece of work. The mastery of the mixing of this disk also defines its completed nature. It pro­ vides a very creative, charging aspect that gives it a distinctive diversity. All songs were not mixed by the same person and in most cases mixing was a group effort. The work of such masters of the mix as Greg Reilly, Colin Wolfe and Alvin Speights appear on the disk.

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

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

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

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

"Based on the fact we've had problems, we wanted to heighten aware­ ness," said Director of Residence Life Rick Geis. Residence halls will retain their current policy unless more than half of the residents of each individual hall vote for one specific option. For the halls which do choose to vote, three lock down op­ tions are being offered. The three options are: • No changes. Card readers are activated from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. daily. • 24 hour lock down on week­ ends. Card readers would be activated from 6 p.m. Friday to 7 a.m. Monday and from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. during the week. • 24 hour lock down. Card read­ ers would be activated seven days a week. Carmen Wiles, resident student association president for Hoey Hall, said that most students don't want the 24 hour, seven day lock down, but alot like the 24 hour lock down on weekends. Sophomore Paula Crosby scans her ID card in a residence hall card reader. (Photo by Karen Walters) Students seem to prefer the sec­ ond option, with 24 hour lock down on weekends. "I chose the weekend lock down because it seemed to be the best one to me," said Amy Campbell, a resident of White Hall. The residence halls have until Sept. 27 to vote on an option. "So far voting results are inconclusive," said Laura Rowland, a resident advisor for White Hall. Geis said this has arisen out of a need to get across [to students] the re­ sponsibility involved with being part of a community. Application overload h/Vhere the money goes •Faculty creates programs to help curb volume of admissions 'How and where parking fees go Pam Griffin Beth Bliss Staff Writer Due to an increased number of applicants for a limited number of open­ ings in the student body, many prospec­ tive students may be denied admittance to Appalachian in coming years. But while those not accepted may not be able to experience the excite­ ment of a college atmosphere, a new pro­ gram designed by the Division of Continu­ ing Education may allow students the opportunity to obtain a four-year degree. According to Joe Watts, director of admissions, Appalachian is currently seeing an increased demand for a limited number of openings. Nearly 9,000 appli­ cations were received last year for the 2,000 available positions in the current fall semester. In addition, Watts said that the percentage of students who return to Appalachian after their first year has risen to 85 percent, which adds even more stu­ dents to the ASU population. Watts said that this problem is occurring throughout the University of North Carolina system. Educators antici­ pate a higher demand for higher educa­ tion as the percentage of students who choose to attend college increases. Ac­ cording to Watts, the question facing pub­ lic universities is how to accommodate this excessive number of prospective stu­ dents. All institutions within the UNC system were asked to submit a long-term plan for handling this rapid growth. Un­ like many universities, which hope to ac­ commodate more students by expanding physically through construction, Watts said that Appalachian has a different opin­ ion. "We're not as interested [as other schools] in growing," he said. "We like [having] 12,000 students instead of 20,000 students." Rather than add on to the cam­ pus, Appalachian has chosen to handle this rapid influx by establishing "satellite pro­ grams" with local community colleges. The primary purpose of these satellite programs is to allow students to obtain a baccalau­ reate degree in one ot three areas: elemen­ tary education (K-6), business or social work. These majors were chosen for the program after a survey of potential par­ ticipants was conducted. According to Brenda Lyerly, site coordinator and academic advisor to the program, all students enrolled in the pro­ gram already have an associate's degree from a community college and have ful­ filled the basic core curriculum require­ ments, leaving them free to concentrate solely on a major. Instead of transferring to the Ap­ palachian campus, however, the students will continue their education at their local community college. This program, accord­ ing to Watts, is ideal for non-traditional students who may be tied to their commu­ nity due to family or work commitments. Currently, Appalachian professors travel to sites in Rutherford, Burke and Cleveland counties to teach classes. How­ ever, Lyerly said that eventually, some classes may be taught through "distance learning equipment" such as the informa­ tion superhighway. "We are trying to get equipment installed in the community colleges," she said. "We should have access within the next year." Students take two courses in the fall, spring and summer semesters. At this rate, a bachelor's degree will be earned in approximately three years. Watts feels that this program fo­ cuses on the "real issue" at hand: how the university can educate more people. "[Through these programs] we can accom­ modate more people and preserve what we have," Watts said. Assistant News Editor Every year, thousands of stu­ dents pay $100 in order to park in Horn in the West and South parking lots. With the cutback in Appalcart routes, many students are beginning to wonder where their money is going and how much in fact is going to fund the AppalCart. Students paid $17.50 for trans­ portation this year as part of the activ­ ity fee included in tuition. According to Bob Baker, university controller, "The transportation fee included in the activ­ ity fee is used to support AppalCART services. That money is not enough to cover the entire cost of running the news story . j If/ft- A new poll shows Americans' interest in the TWA flight 800 crash ranks with top news fif stories of the decade.

Baker said that of the total amount the university pays to AppalCART, $258,887 comes from the transportation fee and the remainder, or balance, comes from the parking regis­ tration fees and parking fines. The re­ mainder of the money students pay to park in registered parking lots go to cash in the traffic fund. Roy Higman, division director of Pubic Safety and University Police says that the money in the traffic fund pro­ vides funding for student employment, football games, sidewalks, parking lots, street repairs and snow removal. "The state statute requires that any funds generated from the traffic fund must deal with traffic control and transportation," Higman said. Corrections In our September 10 edition two mistakes were made in the article about the electrical outage in Raley Hall. The accident did not occur on September 10 as it was reported, rather it took place on September 3. Also, mechanic Dan Hahns was not electrocuted in the acci­ dent. He suffered electrical burns. In the article about the AppalCART route cuts, it was incorrectly reported that Chris Turner is University Transpor­ tation Director. He is the AppalCART Director. The Cornell West article also con­ tained an error. The following quote should have read, "The question is not that I am a white supremecist or a [homophobe]..." not, "The question is not that I am a white supremecist or a homosexual." The Appalachian regrets the above errors. �Page 2 '- ,V^-. • — ' •• • - - ,....„_ YOUNG REPUBLICAN .V - - vM^ff ... ..... < • - f Rally FREE REFRESHMENTS FREE TRANSPORTATION FREE TICKETS AT ASU P.O.

Think you have something important to say about 90.5 The APP? Tonight is your chance folks. The Society of Professional Journalists campus chapter will host a Campus Media Forum tonight at 7 p.m. in the Calloway Peak Room of Plemmons Stu­ dent Union. Members of The Appalachian and 90.5 The APP staffs will be on a panel at this Forum. This forum is the perfect oppportunity for any­ one from the university community to voice their concerns, questions and opinions about the campus media and have them heard by members of The Ap palachian and 90.5 The APP staffs. The forum was created so that students could meet members of the campus media, comment on it, and be heard in a fair, objective way. Both The Appalachian and The APP exist to serve the university community. Without student, faculty and staff support and attention, both media would fail. I Please join us tonight in an open discussion about the campus media here at Appalachian. We welcome your input. Our purpose in a nutshell The Appalachian staff wishes to clarify our pur­ pose in order to make our news reporting process more clear to everyone on campus. The major purpose of this newspaper is to serve as a student paper of public record. This means that when news happens here at Appalachian which af­ fects students, this newspaper will strive to make sure that it is covered in a timely, objective manner. This newspaper has had one motto since 1934Fairness, Accuracy and Public Service. This is indeed our mission this year as it always has been before. The news section does not call for opinionated views or any other kind of editorializing in stories. The place for this type of writing is the Opinion sec­ tion. Many students get upset about the topics we cover in this section. What they fail to remember i: that the Opinion section is the place where persona views are aired whether the majority of students agree with them or not. Editorials are supposed to be topical according to goings on at this university. They are meant to reflect the interests and concerns of Appalachian students, first and foremost. If you don't see anything you agree with on the Opinion pages that is okay. If you get mad about something or would like to see an opposing viewpoint airec write us a letter. In the Opinion section, you will see what you are row, our staff editorial. This space is used by our staff to air our collective opinion on a given topic. The staff editorial, which you are reading now, is the opinion of the editorial board. The board is made up of the principal editors and the topic is voted upon at our meetings. The Appalachian is published every Hiesday anc Thursday of the academic year with the exception of selected holidays and breaks. The Appalachian welcomes letters to the editor. These should be 150 words or less, typed, double spaced, and include the author's name, address phone number and campus affiliation, if any. The Appalachian reserves the right to decline publication of any letter or to edit letters for the purpose of space and clarity. Letters should be delivered to offices on the .second floor of Plemmons Student Union, or mailed to: Editor, The Appalachian, ASU Box 9025 Boone, NC 28608. E-mail may be sent to TheApp@conrad.appstate.edu. The opinions expressed in The Appalachian are those of individual columnists and not necessarily those of The Appalachian.

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

What's really sick is when I see women who are Sometimes it is complicated trying to find nice as small as Tyra Banks or Kate Moss walking around clothes that actually fit, because most of the great designs are in sizes 1-10. And most manufacturers think that the larger you are, the shorter you are. In my case, that isn't true. It's 10 times harder for a large, tall person to find clothes because they are never long enough. And last, but definitely not least, the "personal­ ity" theory: "People should look at the inside, not the outside." Please! If everyone believed that a person's inner character was of some value, then 1 should have guys lined up at my door from here tq China. Unfortunately, that isn't happening. The truth is that in this society, a person's outward appearance dictates their worth. Sad, isn't it? It's the girl who looks like Miss America with the attitude of m Roseanne who gets all the dates. And what about the insensitive jerk who looks like "Mr. Buff' and grabs all of the female attention? Our society has a distorted idea of what real beauty is.

Gotta love that gridlock: driving usBoone j"rafficin crazy I spent the summer far away from Boone and could not wait for my return to the beautiful moun­ tains, swimming holes, friendly people and...gridlock? My first attempt to drive across town sent my aggravation level soaring. I have seen traffic like this before...in Los Angeles, Charlotte and Washing­ ton D.C. So why is a little town in the mountains like Boone facing a catastrophic car overpopulation? Boone seems to be made of cars. Sixty percent of the town must consist of roads and parking lots. Nobody can seem to find a space, so they drive around like bees flying from the flower to the hive, over and over again. A closer look will reveal that most of the cars contain only one person, and the majority of them sport the Appalachian State badge. A partial conclu­ sion could be that the traffic problem is being inten­ sified by the students on four wheels. The university administration feels that a park­ ing deck would alleviate our congestion problems. This may create a few more places to park, but at a cost of more than $10,000 a space, I hardly see this as economical. The parkees of the almighty deck will still have to drive through town to get to it. They will still be riding one person to a car. This is not a Matt Williford Columnist solution. How about riding a bicycle? This seems to be very popular on the many trails in the mountains. For some reason, most of the mountain bikers do not choose this as their way to school. I am sure that many of them live too far (like myself), and do not have the time or patience for an hour ride to school. From my own in-town riding experience, and from a friend who just recently had a metal pin in­ serted in his wrist, I think I can conclude that most bicycle owners do not pedal to school because of the imminent danger it involves. Anyone that has ridden their bike through town can tell you of a close encounter with death. There are no bike lanes (save the supposed lanes on Rivers Street) and riding the sidewalk will get you a ticket. What has happened to the Alternative Transporta-tion Plan? This plan has been in the works for many years now. It has been pushed along by the bicycle riding fanatic/professor, Harvard Ayers, and student turned town councilperson, Hunter Schofield. The idea is a safe bicycle/pedestrian loop around town with ac­ cess to the town and university. So far the plan has been endorsed by the state and Boone with big bucks. The university administration is holding back. Do they not think it is worthy? It seems to me that the majority of its use would be by students, and I have already concluded that they are a major part of the gridloclf. So, where's the money? Oh, I forgot. They want to build a $30 million basketball dome and adjoin­ ing parking deck. So, until the loop is built, or Iraq runs out of oil, I will continue driving to New Market to either catch the bus or finish my will and pedal to class. Happy gridlock, and watch out for my friend with the metal pin in his wrist. �Page 4 The Appalachian 12 September ^ : Tfie API Opinion c^Letters m,am!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Appalachian fairness, Accuracy and Public Service since 1934 y i r Opinion.. Safety is no joke Here at The Appalachian, we've noticed a dis­ cing trend in students' attitude toward safety. It seems as though security is only an issue „ of the academic year when the Walk r Awareness occurs. This event offers students a jm reminder of the possibility that they could be|ine the victim of a crime. (beginning Students need to take a serious look at their own ,fety levels especially in light of the "Peeping Tom" icidents which occured recently in White and Lovill ills. The Town of Boone is small. We acknowledge iat. The thing students must realize is that the size [atown doesn't dictate the behavior of its residents, ist because a person lives in a small town doesn ,ean that they are less likely to commit a crime. In (t) we agree that the college environment can falitate and encourage crime. It is easy to hear that crime on-campus is down id think that you are safe. The fact that any crime ccurs at Appalachian should make students more ireful. Whether one incident occurs or 10 do, crime iould be taken seriously by everyone. Think about all the times someone you know has .ft their car or dorm room unlocked. Does the fact bat they're in Boone mean they are less likely to ecome a victim? We think not. Time and time again, we've seen women walkig or jogging alone at night. This is not a safe way i travel after dark. "I will always encourage people, ale or female, to walk in at least pairs at night," id Captain Larry Foster of the ASU Police Departent. Students seem to have a naive view of campus fe. We don't mean to say that this campus is com Etely unsafe, rather that students need to take acm to make sure that they don't become an easy rget. We encourage you to take advantage of the blue hts all over campus. These have phones attached them which directly connect to ASU Police. If you er see suspicious activity, report it. If you feel reatened or unsafe, report that too. If you lose your ID card, report it to the ID Cen i or ASU Police immediately. If you live on-cam lis anyone who finds your card can gain access to 3i residence hall. Along the same lines, if you seyour room key, report it to ASU Police and Resi tnce Life. The last thing anyone needs is for a ranger to gain access to their room. Safety is no joke. It shouldn't be an inconveence to you to do whatever it takes to keep yourilf safe. Peace of mind is one thing and apathy is lother. Opinion War cannot for a single minute be separated from politics." - Mao Tse-tung Helms is the right choice On Sunday, August 25, North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms visited the High Country to speak to area Republicans about his campaign to defeat Harvey Gantt for the second time in two elections. After enjoying a delicious barbeque meal, Sena­ tor Helms took the podium to make his address. Helms, his voice soft and invigorating, spoke about the necessity of ridding this nation of liberals in Con­ gress whose habits of massive spending has plagued America with a miserable state of debt. Helms is exactly correct. For some strange rea­ son, the minds of liberals contain the warped ideol­ ogy that Americans should not be entitled to keep their own money. Jesse Helms is running against a man ___ who believes that raising taxes was fun in Charlotte, so heck, why not do it to the en­ tire nation? According to the Washington based Tax Foundation, the average taxpayer in 1995 worked from January 1 until May 6 to satisfy the revenue demands of federal, state, and local governments. That means for the average American family, money made on the job between Janu­ ary 1 and May 6 of any year must be paid in taxes. They let you keep what you earn from May 7 until December 31. Obviously, this is simply too much. Senator Jesse Helms has been fighting for lower taxes and the passage of a Balanced Budget Amend­ ment since the mid-seventies, and if there were fewer liberals in Congress who have lied to their constitu­ ents about cutting excessive debt, America would be much better off today. By reelecting Jesse Helms, we will send a clear and unequivocal message to the disciples of Harvey Gantt and other liberals that North Carolina will not elect a man or woman who can smile, raise our taxes, spend our money, and then repeat the entire cycle all over again. Helms also spoke about another fallacy with the federal government: excessive overregulation. Ex­ cessive government regulation today is vast in scope and staggering in its impact, both on individuals and on the US economy According to a report from Viewpoint by Aaron McKethan Columnist the Heritage Foundation, Americans spend between $600 and $700 billion a year just complying with rules and regulations written by the federal govern­ ment. If you don't think the size of the government is too big, consider this: subside to the new value system of militant femi­ nism and radical homosexual groups. He represents hope to those of us who are ada­ mant about balancing the budget to ensure a posi­ tive future for our children and grandchildren. Harvey Gantt and his ideas of higher taxes, an elevated role of government in the lives of Ameri­ cans, and more and more unnecessary spending are proven failures. If Harvey Gantt wins this fall, we will have elected a proponent of the radical liberal methodologies of Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton, whose views de­ rive from the most recent poll on the evening news. If you are new at Appalachian, or have other­ wise been asleep, Jesse Helms was invited to speak at commencement ceremonies last semester. Although Harvey Gantt was invited and spoke as a candidate running against Sena­ tor Helms in 1990 here at ASU, a few un­ fortunate liberals decided that free speech, outlined in the First Amendment, was in­ tended to be enjoyed exclusively by liber­ als. It was my wish that a few of those open-minded liberals would have come to the barbeque dinner to hear about Sena­ tor Helms's agenda. Perhaps they could have even had their picture made with him. A Jesse Helms victory in 1996 will signify a dagger in the already bleeding heart of social and fiscal liberalism. There are 66 words in the Lord's Prayer. There are 286 words in the Gettysburg Address. There are 1,322 words in the Declaration of Inde­ pendence. There are 26,911 words in the federal government regulations regarding the sale of cabbage. Clearly, overregulation burdens America by un­ necessarily and enormously increasing the cost of doing business and hiring workers, which results in fewer jobs and lower salaries while making U.S. com­ panies less competitive in world markets. If elected, will Harvey Gantt take drastic mea­ sures to curb the growing adverse effects that overregulation makes on Americans? According to Jesse Helms and to Harvey Gantt's political past, the an­ swer is no. I was proud to attend the speech made by Sena­ tor Helms last week. He is a blessed assurance that our sacred reliance on conservative values will not After all, Senator Helms is very knowlegeable of the Constitution. So with his generous spirit, maybe Senator Helms would have shared the importance of the element of free speech for the certain liberals that did not understand last semester. Unfortu­ nately however, no liberals showed up. Or maybe liberals were present and the eloquent words of Jesse Helms quickly transformed them to repent their pre­ vious ways. This fall, don't vote for Harvey Gantt because your best friend's mother-in-law said she once met him and she liked his hair. Do your homework and you'll realize that al­ though Jesse is old and he doesn't play the saxophone, he is usually right. Jesse Helms victory in 1996 will signify a dagger in the already bleeding heart of social and fiscal lib­ eralism. I don't know about you, but that would cer­ tainly make me smile.

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

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

Alice In Chains have done just this on Unplugged (Columbia). They have been perhaps the most ardent purveyors of all things acoustic since they released Sap, their first acoustic EP which is, in this writer's opinion, their finest mo­ ment on record. But, from what I under­ stand, they have been approached by MTV to do an Unplugged since the Dirt days and have turned them consis­ down tently. Why now, after compiling a formidable acous­ tic repertoire, would these Se­ attle rockers decide to abandon the com­ fortable confines of a studio to put on a frankly lackluster show featuring a brief view of their acoustic work and a few out of place bone-crushers? It's sad to say, but it seems as though AIC is losing something in their music. There used to be a potency to every song on every album they've done. This show fails to capture them at their peak. The performances of some of their best acous­ tic material comes of as shallow and inef­ fective, particularly on "No Excuses." Some of the best moments from the past are overlooked, as well. Where is "Am I Inside" or "Rotten Apple"? Why not any­ thing from Facelift? I'm sure "Bleed the Freak" would've worked in this scenario. "Rain When I Die" could've worked with a slight rearrangement. "Shame In You" would have added a nice touch. Not "Sludge Factory." Not "Angry Chair." Defi­ nitely not "Would?". Unlike the last great Unplugged, from Nirvana, Alice In Chains chose their songs poorly. When they get the steam going in the right places, though, AIC does give the scariest reminder of that performance from Nirvana. The passion is there and they play their heart out on (al­ most) all of the songs. "Nutshell", "Down in a Hole" and "Over Now" are done defini­ tively here. AIC are the kings of dark and somber. Another, not so pleasant, similarity to Nirvana's Un­ plugged is the eerie finality of the al­ bum. I've got the oddest feeling about Lane Staley. He looks like he's on the road to being rock's next casualty The signs are there, folks, figure 'em cut on your own. No tours. Break up rumors. Widely publicized drug habits. Is he mim­ icking Kurt Cobain's tragic end or is it just coincidence? I hope we never have to answer that question. 1 think my biggest gripe is as an AIC fan. Ever since Sap, I've anticipated those post-album, acoustic EP's chock full of wonderful new material. This time I got stuck with twelve left-overs and only one new song, "Killer is Me." There better be another album or EP soon. This isn't enough to last for two more years. I give this CD 1/2. �Page 8 y King Crossword ACROSS 1 Brewery product 4 Crony 7 Farr of • I 1 12 15 14 Lengthwise 15 Don't just sit there ists' task 18 Round Table address 19 Furtive sort 20 Attempt 22 Iniquity locale 23 Crack from the cold 27 Stomach muscles, for short 29 Chopping spree? 31 Humiliate 34 Cringe 35 Ichabod Crane's creator 37 Morning moisture 38 Serves the purpose 39 What tholepins hold 41 Noah's envoy 45 Pacific Island group 47 Greek con­ sonants 48 Tour de France skill '6 13 16 21 27 31 '8 '9 P c O A P M E 14 22 23 29 I C E R A L O L L N 24 25 26 42 43 44 30 34 36 39 37 40 45 50 s Tio~~" 11 Th ~i 33 _ 49 Answers to Super Crossword 17 28 38 48 • 1 7 19 2U 3b '5 B • 18 shortcut 13 One of 4 The Appalachian 5 September • 41 46 1 1 51 52 1 I 53 54 56 DOWN 1 Get together 2 Within the law 3 Additional 4 Links statis­ tics 5 Restitution 6 French school 7 Teagarden or • 55 57 revenue source 53 Bewildered 54 Bom 55 To Kill a Mockingbird" author 56 Reached 57 Eccentric 58 Boston or Chicago squad 47 58 Oakie 8 Every last iota 9 "Ostentatious? ?" 10 Hostel 11 Charge of Dr. Seuss' Horton 17 American 21 Foundation 23 Assembled multitude 24 Gee counterpart 25 Packed away 26 By means of 28 Ponderosa patriarch 30 Top-notch 31 Succor 32 Kinsman, for short 33 Forum greeting 36 Aim 37 Spoke monotonously 40 Acid type 42 Iridescent gems 43 MTV offering 44 Courtier of Elizabeth I 45 "Begone!" 46 On in years 48 Gladstone, e.g. 49 Trial-of-thecentury judge 50 Chicago hrs. 51 Verify evei start Fore mos! past load almc were IF YOU THINK CARRYING A BRIEFCASE is WHAT IT S ALL ABOUT, ingl mon the c the g SEE IF YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO CARRY THIS. \ I %* It's tough work to become a leader in the corporate world.

Then the bi8ger question came. Why? There were several factors added in. There was the turnover problem that was talked about a lot, but it played sec­ ond fiddle to the predominant answer, the calls or lack thereof them. Now it s like one of my professors says, You can't have meaningful conver­ sation without first identifying your bi­ ases. Makes, sense. So why don't we get that out of the way? I admit, I'm a big ASU fan (like I'm going to pay a chunk of change this big to go to a college I don't even like). It s not like I'm alone, there's ,oh, a few thousand other screaming App fans around this place. I think by halftime everyone on the visitors side of Groves Stadium was ready to mob the boys in the black and white stripes.

Maybe part of it is because I wanted to see App win the game, but even if that does play a part in it you can't deny it was very poorly called. Now I can hear some of you now, "If was really that poorly officiated then why haven't the players or the coaches said something?" Well, they can't. That's right, they can't say this call stunk or that the officials did a poor job. Why not? Well catch the next issue of 'The Appalachian" when we address why the NCAA puts the gag rule on coaches and players. After Thursday night's game at Wake Forest the Appalachian State Mountain­ eers must know all too weir what it feels like to have victory slip through their fin­ ger tips. After all, it happened to the Moun­ taineers not once, not twice, but five times during the 19-13 loss to the Demon Dea­ cons. Appalachian turned the ball over a total of four times. Three of their drops were recovered by Wake, one on an er­ rant Gerard Hardy pass that looked like it hit wide open cornerback Reggie Austin right between the numbers. Yet it was not as though Appalachian didn't receive its fair share of gifts from the Deacons. Wake also turned the ball over twice in the second half. Unfortu­ nately, the ever-so-kind Mountaineers gave it right back each time. The fumblitis hit the Apps right from the get-go, however. After forcing Wake to go three-and-out on the opening series, Appalachian punt returner Desmond Adams, a freshman from Salisbury, N.C., dropped Tripp Moore's punt at the Appa­ lachian 40-yard line to give the Deacons possession once again. And, just like last time, Wake went three-and-out and was forced to punt only this time Moore's punt was wisely left to roll out of bounds at the App 10-yard line. After going three-and-out on their first possession, the Mountaineers were able to block a field goal attempt by Wake's Bill Hollows and go eighty yards on the ensuing drive which ended with a 46-yard touchdown run by senior Damon Scott of Cedar Grove, N.C. to put App up 7-0, the score which stood until the end of the first quarter. It was during the second period of play that Wake came back behind Hol­ lows' foot, Quarterback Brian Kuklick's arm and the running of John Lewis. On their first drive of the quarter the Demon Deacons went 49 yards on 14 plays be­ fore putting three on the board to cut the App lead to four points. On their next possession Wake again drove into App territory deep enough for Hollows to cut the score to 7-6 Appalachian. On their final possession of the half the deadly Deacons struck gold with a five play, 60 yard drive in just over two minutes that ended up with Kuklick running the ball into the end zone to put Wake up 13-7 at see WAKE on page 10 Lady Spikers win 49ers shut out Mountaineers • women's soccer team opens third season with loss weekend series Brian Porter Staff Writer The Appalachian State Women's volball team competed in the first ever ike Forest Tournament on Saturday, ike Forest, Coastal Carolina, and mpbell also played in the inaugural irnament.

Mountaineers were led by sopho- more Paula Levay of Mt. Pleasant, S.C. who recorded 14 kills and two blocks. Junior Cindy Kolomechuk of Waynesville, N.C. had a game high 29 assists for the Mountaineers. In the title game, the Lady Spikers faced Coastal Carolina. The Chanticleers eliminated Appalachian in four games (15-7, 13-15, 15-12, 15-5) .This loss dropped the Lady Apps record to 3-1. The team had a total of 52 kills and 6 blocks. Kolomechuk added 33 assists for the Mountaineers. Sophomore Stephanie Young , of Advance, N.C., had 12 kills and a tean high 21 digs for the Mountaineeers. The loss put Appalachain's record at 2-1 for the weekend series and made them the tournament runner-up. Jun­ ior Jennifer Rumfeldt of Miami, Fla., and senior April Sorrells of Hendersonville, N.C. were named to the All-Tournament Team. Nick Berry Staff Writer The women's soccer team opened up their 1996-97 season with a game against UNC-Charlotte, perhaps a game they would rather forget. Being outplayed on all facets of the game, the Lady Moun­ taineers were out shot 32 to three and lost 4-0 in their first game of the season.

Coach Tracy Davis and her Lady Mountaineers will next play at home on September fourth against L£noir-Rhyne. The home field advantage, along with having their first game of the season un­ der their belt is what Coach Davis is hop­ ing will propel the Mountaineers to their first win of the season.

UNC-Charlotte was never really threatened by the Moun­ taineers as they only produced two shots on goal. Defense was the key for the 49ers who kept the ball mainly on the Moun­ taineers end of the field. Senior Kelley Guinn of Atlanta, Ga., the goalie for Appalachian, played fairly well in goal saving seven shots under con­ stant pressure from the 49ers offense. The offense, or lack thereof, for Appalachian, was led by senior Beth Erickson of Clemmons, N.C., sophomore Allison Osborne of Raleigh, N.C., and junior Becky Neal of Kernersville, N.C., who ac­ counted for all three shots. Although the game did not turn out As the dust settled on the Liberty soccer field Saturday afternoon, Appala­ chian State Head Soccer Coach Art Rex saw his men's soccer team turn in a solid performance. Unfortunately, that perfor­ mance did not equal a Mountaineer vic­ tory, as the Liberty Flames handed the Apps a 2-1 overtime loss, in the season opener for both schools. Liberty took a 1-0 lead late in the sec­ ond half. With 40 seconds remaining in regulation, sophomore forward Mark Hemphill, of Asheville, N.C., netted his first goal of the season to even the score at one apiece. Nearly nine minutes into the overtime period, Liberty freshman Jared Trumbro booted a 15-yard shot past App goalie Chad Hawley of Cary, N.C., to put the Flames ahead for good. Hawley racked up 11 saves in goal as the App offense outshot the Flames 2422. "Our guys had a chance to win it," said Rex. "We just need to become more efficient in front of the goal." On Saturday afternoon, the Apps will take part in the Verbatim Invitational, in Davidson, N.C. "Competition in Davidson will be very competitive," said Rex. "Winthrop and Radford have very success­ ful programs in the Big South Conference, as did Liberty." The Mountaineers open up their home schedule against Southern Confer- , ence foe Georgia Southern on Friday, Sep­ tember 13th, at 5:30 p.m. at Kidd Brewer Stadium. The Mountaineers also have upcoming home matches against confer­ ence rivals Davidson and East Carolina. �The Appalachian 5 September 1996 Page Tobacco ads at the game on endangered list Darryl Stevens Sports Columnist You. Yeah, you, with the cigarette. You're one of the most recent and least-protected endangered species on Earth. But you know this. The rules on where and when you can smoke have gradually grown tighter and tighter, like those funny little traps called Mexican handcuffs that bind your fingers together. The harder you try to fight, the more you realize it's useless. One of President Clinton's recent slew of bills is about to protect the nation's youth from Joe Camel and his ilk. In less than two years, a series of tobacco restric­ tions are to be slapped on the industry. These restrictions include the banning of advertisements such as the famous Marlboro Man billboards and the Camel spreads in mags like Rolling Stone. Photo identification will have to be provided by any tobacco buyer under 27. This could go too far. One Appala­ chian State professor, speaking on the American government, remarked that our country originally meant for a cen­ tral government to provide the most basic services, like national security and a uniform currency. As we approach the third millineum, it seems as if someone is there to intrude on almost every as­ pect of our lives, ranging from who we choose to have personal relations with, to when we want to die (Dr. Kevorkian=villian?). A1 Gore's Democratic convention speech a week ago shows just how far contempt for tobacco has come. Chicago's United Center got quiet when Gore laid out his family's "shame" - the raising of tobacco for decades on their Carthage, Tenn. farm. Gore acknowl­ edged a day later that he continued to get annual checks from that farm, even after his sister's smoking-related death. This last brought tears to the eyes of some delegates. There is no shortage of similar sto­ ries around the world. Choosing when we want to die? Using tobacco is a simple (expensive) way to do just that. Let's not fool ourselves: tobacco is ad­ dictive, it is a slow killer, and the indus- Mountaineers lose in opener to Radford Chris Kinner Assistant Sports Editor The Appalachian State women's field hockey team opened their season at home Saturday, dropping a tightly contested match to Radford 1-0. The lone goal was scored with 21:05 remaining in the second half, when High­ lander Mandie Moore stroked one by Mountaineer goalie Kathryn Pearson. ASU had a chance to tie the game late in the second half, but Radford goalie Lindsay Watson put away senior Jennifer Broderick's effort. The game featured a great deal of defense. The Mountaineers shot on goal 19 times, the visitors only 10 times. How­ ever, the Apps committed nine penalties, more than twice as many as Radford. ASU drops to 0-1on the season. They will seek their first victory of 1996 when they face Virginia Tech, Sept. 8 in Blacksburg. The Apps next home game of the season will take place Sept. 12 against Wake Forest at Kidd Brewer Sta­ dium. try just loves young people. After all, new recruits are ALWAYS needed. USA Today reported on Aug. 26, "Al­ though the regulations prohibit tobaccobrand sponsorship of sporting events, to­ bacco companies could continue support­ ing such events provided that there is no direct link to specific tobacco products." The sponsorship ban, which takes place in 1998, applies to billboards at sporting events, and to sponsorship of teams, cars, and paraphernalia. It's hard to imagine the phasing-out of tobacco ads in motor sports. Anybody who has gone to watch a race, or flipped past on the telly, can't help but notice the number of advertisements. It's not just the commercials and billboards, either. Spec­ tators give the viewing audience and each other impromptu sales pitches, with tshirts, caps, and jackets. Even allowing that stadium sales booths and huge signs circling the tracks will disappear, who will stop fans from granting tobacco companies free TV ex­ posure when the cameras pan over the crowds? NASCAR isn't as dependent on to­ bacco sponsorship as it once was, so any regulations won't hurt badly. But the sweet leaf is as firmly embedded in the racing world as a tick on a dog's behind, and there could be some obvious changes, not the least of which would be The Win­ ston Cup, Jimmy Spencer's Smokin' Joe Ford and Robert Pressley's Skoal Bandit Chevy. Obviously, this is the most free coun­ try in the world in the ways that count. Yet we should keep our eyes on the ef­ fects of this impending tobacco-advertise­ ment regulation—it's more than it seems. Sound far-fetched? Look no further than Prohibition.

For the rest of the third quarter the two teams drove on each other but never got into scoring range so the rhird period ended with the Apps down by three. It was during the final 15 minutes that App gave die ball and game away to Wake. Hardy, the junior from Cramerton, N.C., from page 9 was picked off on the first play of the quar­ ter. That interception triggered a spree of turnovers by both teams which finally gave Wake the ball at the Appalachian17yard line where Hollows booted a 34 yard field goal to put the Deacons up 16-10. After another App fumble, Wake was able to put up three more on an 18 yard kick from Hollows that gave the Deacons nine point lead with under five minutes to go. Appalachian did put up one final drive which landed them a 29 yard field goal from Sutton but it proved to be to little to late as Wake held on for the 19-13 win. Afterward, Appalachian Head Coach Jerry Moore said that the team "hadn't fumbled the ball or turned it over at all" during fall camp.

On Aug. 14, Yepko resigned as SGA vice president. In his letter of resig­ nation, he stated he could not fulfill his obligation to the office. Appalachian State University's SGA Constitution states that the vice presi­ dent must be a junior. Yepko was three semester hours short of reaching that sta­ tus. Yepko said he plans to stay in­ volved with student government as much as possible and wants to help fulfill the platform goals that got him elected. Upon Yepko's resignation, SGA President Kaye Cranford appointed cabi­ net Chief of Staff Todd Poole as interim vice president. "I feel like I won the lottery, but I didn't buy a ticket," Poole said. The constitution states in the event the vice president can not fulfill his or her duties, the senate pro-tempore will take their place. Since the senate has not yet con­ vened for the fall, the president chooses a replacement, who must be approved by the senate with a two-thirds vote. Poole said he is excited about the upcoming year and plans to continue on 8-5 News and Sports: 262- 6233 Features and Editorials: 262- 3104 Business Office: 262-2157 Vanessa Urruela Editor-in-Chief 262-6149 with the platform set forth by Cranford and Yepko during the election.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

J ally j high) 1 With losse �Appalachian 27 August 1996 Page 9 Sports Taking care of business Mountaineers get ready to battle Wake Mike Daniels Sports Editor Its been almost nine months since that December day at Kidd Brewer sta­ dium when the second-seeded Mountain­ eers saw their hopes for a national title dashed before 9,000 disappointed ASU fans. For many App players and support­ ers, last year's second round playoff loss t0 Stephen F. Austin seemed like a night­ marish end to what had been a dream season. ' Indeed, it may be hard for this year's squad to equal last year's team, which posted a record-setting 11-0 record in the regular season and remained the secondranked team in the country un­ til their playoff loss which knocked their untarnished record down to Taking a walk on the real side c0ld 12-1. Darryl Stevens Sports Columnist "Our players...have worked hard and know what they want" But this i f ' ' year's squad looks not so much to equal last year's team as they do to pick up where they left off. Just look at the team's motto "Unfinshed Business," which seems to refer to the Apps' unfinished playoff busi­ ness coming off a year when they were expected to be playing for the national championship. Head Coach Jerry Moore says, "Our ilayers here have always had a great atti­ tude, and this team is no exception." Moore said this year's team has worked lard in the pre-season and "know what they want." The 1996 edition returns 54 lettermen, 16 of whom were starters last year. The most prominent of these return­ ees is All-Conference, Ail-American I-AA defensive player of the year Dexter Toakley of Mt. Pleasant, S.C. Lining up alongside Coakley at linebacker is fellow senior and All-Conference selection Joe DiBernardo of Miami, Fla. Coakley and Coach Jerry Moore Head Coach looks on as the Apps tune up for Wake Forest in an intra-squad scrimmage. (Photo by Robert Parriott) DiBernardo lead a group of veteran line­ backers that includes six more lettermen. The same cannot be said of the line­ men and secondary for the Apps. The Mountaineers have just one returning starter on the defensive line and none in the secondary. Still, Coach Moore is opti­ mistic about these areas. Senior Marvin Hodge of Raleigh, N.C., moves from line­ backer to defensive back to give some ex­ perience to a mostly inexperienced unit. On the defensive line, junior tackle Jackie Avery of Garner, N.C., leads eight other players who lettered last season. On offense, playmakers like Scott Satterfield of Hillsborough, N.C. and Aldwin Lance of Shallotte, N.C. are out and junior Gerard Hardy of Cramerton, N.C. and senior Damon Scott of Cedar Grove, N.C., are in. At quarterback, Hardy will be backed up by junior Babe Baker of Kinston, N.C. The back-up running back spot is being contested by a number of players including freshmen Desmond Adams of Salisbury, N.C., senior Cubeya Woods of Statesville, N.C. and freshman Mike Jones of Blountville, Tenn. The rest of the offense features virtu­ ally the same cast as last year's explosive bunch. The Mountaineers have both start­ ing receivers back along with two other lettermen. At tight end senior Jeff Vollmer of Longboat Key, Fla. and sophomore Frank Leatherwood of Clyde, N.C., should again split time in the starting lineup. All five starters from last year, including AllAmerican senior Scott Kadlub of Palm Harbor, Fla. return to this year's offensive line, making it the most seasoned group on the team. On special teams, seniors Allen Guinn of Laurinburg, N.C. and Jay Sutton of Wingate, N.C. return to the punting and kicking positions, respectively. Also re­ turning is senior long snapper Lance Ware of Shelby, N.C. Coach Moore says that expectations in the Mountaineer camp "are as high or higher than a year ago." For Appalachian, the chance of realizing those expectations will begin Thursday at Wake Forest. Charlotte, N.C.), the lady spikers had an extremely strong regular season in which they won the conference title. Many people looked for ASU to sweep through the conference tournament, but the Apps were stunned by the Eagles of Georgia Southern in the first round, putting a quiet end to what had been an exciting season for the team. This year fans will see quite a few new faces on the court. With six freshmen (Ginger Douglas of Marietta, Ga., Dawn Hinchy of Raleigh, N.C., Ann Leedy of Eaton, Ohio, Lori Schott of High Point, N.C., Bo Shealton of Fairview, N.C., and Nicole Thompson of Charlotte, N.C.), two sophomores (Paula Levay of Mt. Pleasant, S.C. and Stephanie Young of Advance, N.C.), two juniors (Cindy Kolomechuk of Waynesville, N.C. and Jennifer Rumfeldt of Miami, Fla.), and two seniors (Miriam Sealey of Charlotte, N.C. and April Sorrells of Hendersonville, N.C.) ASU has a fairly young team, and more than one person has raised a cynical eye at Appalachian's chances this season. "I have been impressed widr the fresh­ men," said Coach Markland. "The key for us, as it is for any team, is to stay injuryfree." With tentative plans to start all six returnees from last year, an injury to an experienced player could really hurt this team. "Last year's team was ahead of this year's team at this point in the year," said Markland. "The key is to see where we are in November." "There is still some inconsistency, as with any young team," said Markland. "If the team focuses on improving there could be something special at the end of the year." What could that "something special" be? Perhaps a regular season or tourna­ ment title. Only time will tell with this young lady spiker team. In any case, it should be a very exciting and interesting season in volleyball. Lady Spikers ready for season Danny Sink Reporter The Appalachian Lady Spikers have been giving their fans a lot to cheer about in the last five years, winning at least the tegular season or Southern Conference tournament title in each. Last year was no exception. Under the guidance of Coach Dave Markland and the leadership of three de­ parted seniors (Sherri Leverette of Lake­ land, Fla., Amy Kolomechuk of Waynesville, N.C., and Kathy Granack of App Field Hockey prepares for tough schedule Kathy Beam Reporter The Appalachian State Field Hockey starts their regular season Saturday, 31 with a 1:00 p.m. home game ist Radford.

Senior Jennifer Broderick of Waldorf Md., last year's top scorer, returns for her senior year. Broderick recorded three goals and three assists last season. Also returning is Corradino, who had three goals and one assist last year.

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

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

There were times when freshmen. there were only 16 players in the rotation. The team was set back slightly with the injury to sophomore Allison Wahl of Greensboro, N.C., one of the two netminders, who split goalkeeping duties last year. She will be out the whole season, and senior Kelly Guinn of Atlanta, Ga. will take over all of the goaltending duties this year. Junior Becky Neal of Kernersville, N.C. is making her comeback from the serious injury of a torn A.C.L. and is looking to be 100 percent very soon. Coach Tracy Davis and first year assistant Lendra Dodge will guide the team through a difficult 1996 schedule. The team starts off with three road matches with their first game at UNCCharlotte before they return to Boone for their first home game against South Carolina on Sept.11. "We look to be a very strong team this year. We are very focused, fit and are ready to play," said Davis. T HE STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME ALL STUDENTS BACK TO CAMPUS!

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

Frerotte is a good quarterback and everyone knows what he can do. Shuler can be great but needs a little time. By giving Shuler a year, the front office can accurately assess Shuler, and not feel like they didn't give him a chance to pro­ duce. The Redskins want to win and want to win now, but if they do not give Shuler a chance, Wash­ ington could be throwing away a possible pro-bowl quarterback. The Redskins have had tough luck with their past draft picks, but must believe their decisions will pay off. Give Shuler a chance; you have far more to lose by relegat­ ing him to the bench. in The Appalachian classifieds for roommates, merchandise, announcements and services.

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

The event was part of Black Awareness Weekend. Alston is an English/Education ma­ jor and plans to minor in vocal performance. When asked how she felt when she won, Alston said she was in shock. "It didn't hit me until yesterday that I was Miss Black Culture," she said. Alston is president and student direc­ tor of Black Student Association Gospel Choir, president of ASU Trebel Choir, chair of the Music Department, and an ASU Ambassador.

(Photo by Dana Gardner) ian is published with support from Appalachian s Center for been a running program for 21 years. The pageant is a scholarship program. The win­ ner receives money the contestants have raised from companies who supported them. "The pageant is called Miss Black Cul­ ture but it is not restricted to African Ameri­ cans," said DeAnna C. Foust, 1995's Miss Black Culture. "Any girl of freshman through junior status is eligible to participate in the pageant." Alston said contestants were judged on their answers to impromptu questions, tal­ ent, interview and poise. Foust said the contestants raised enough money this year for all to share in the prize. There were seven contestants in this year's pageant. They were Shana N. DeShazo, Karen Y. Clemmons, Crystal C. Alford, Deborah D. Bivins, Felicia F. Fluid, Meyetta S. Grimes and Alston. This year's other winners were Crys­ tal C. Alford, who won second place and the titles of Miss Congeniality and Miss Entrepre­ neur. Alford is a junior from Charlotte who is Ih£ majoring in communications. Felicia F. Fluid was the first runnerup in the pageant. She is a junior from Char­ lotte majoring in English. Miss Black Culture and Miss Conge­ niality were the only recognized winners in past competitions but this year a first runnerup and second place winner were added. Miss Entrepreneur is another title added, which is given to the female who raised the most money. "The girls work really hard to get sponsors," said Foust. "In the past the person who raised the most money has not been rec­ ognized, so it is nice to see that this year she will be get the recognition she deserves." Alston's duties as Miss Black Culture include planning the next pageant, hosting Kwanzaa and representing the African-Ameri­ can woman. "It means a lot to me," said Alston. "It means 1 should always exemplify the char­ acteristics of the African-American woman of the 90s." Index Page 4...Editorials. College is Office Hours: more than just books.

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

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

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

And for this I am eternal grateful.

What a long, strange trip it's been Angela Brady Editor-in-Chief John Lane Managing Editor great stage dive your best friend pulled off. It truly is experiences, not necessarily curricula that makes college the learning experience that it is. A teacher over the last four semesters, though he has not provided any T-shirts, has exemplified this philoso­ phy. No names need be mentioned because I am sure that if you think about it, you have a professor of the same caliber. He has taught me as much about life as he has the subject matter, opening my eyes to many options when I have gone in with preconceived notions on a topic. Fur­ ther, (as all experiences must be a two-way street) he has always been open to listen to ideas of my own on subjects which he might have been less open to, and provide me with his experiences on the matter to enhance my own iJ » Columnist The Department of English needs to seriously consider their current approach toward academic ad- ^a visement for BS English/Secondary Education majors. The present policy (if you can even call it that) is unclear, communication to the students is lacking and current advisement is impersonal and understaffed. When a student enters the BS English pro­ gram, he/she receives no welcome or notifica­ tion of advisement whatsoever from the De­ partment of English. The General Bulletin sim­ ply states, "The student is expected to work closely with the English Education advisor in fulfilling the degree requirements." Whom to _____ see of where to go for this advisement is not explained. The required checklist for BS English majors is no help either. It is outdated and refers students to Dr. Gene Miller who does not even advise students anymore. Thus, students immediately feel confused, unimportant and all alone upon entering the program. The Department of English needs to establish a way of communicating advisement information to BS students. This lack of communication between BS students and the English Department does not seem to be a problem with other English degree-seekers. The BA majors have a bul­ letin board with their advisor's name and important in­ structions posted. I went a whole semester without any advisement be­ fore I finally did something about it. After much waiting and wondering, I called the English Department. They said it was my responsibility to seek out Dr. Maharaj-Boggs or Dr. Vogel, whichever one I could find who had the time thing right. Some people did not even have a, icheckl because they didn't know how to obtain one. Cora®® cation is essential to any kind of relationship, but n? now the information and help BS students need are J' not getting to them. I expected to be treated like a number when I wa General College, but not when I declared my major. ^ seen Dr. Maharaj-Boggs once and Dr. Vogel twice. ^ time I go I feel awkward because they never know ^ am and they always seem to be busy. You cannot blame them, though; they are doing the best they __ Between the two of them they advise aroun ^ students and teach classes and work with stu teachers at various sites.

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

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

It seems it is only applife to their wants and desires. Did these same 19 don­ ate in the past, when Harvey Gantt was a commence't speaker during the spring of 1990? No. I was here W90, nobody spoke a peep. Did anyone have a com'lat for Charles Sanders when it was his time to speak?

Mr. George, » 4• "you implying that Mr. Borkowski is another Unabomber I L 'tadical anti-government person? I believe you are. This ® shows your ignorance of the situation. Just to refresh ^ memory, the Chancellor's office is paid by the State \W 3 BULBS O NEW BULBS Department of Treasury, a government entity. As you read this, one might think I am a radical Re­ publican, but contrarily I am a registered Democrat and will remain one at least for the near future. I am not say­ ing Mr. George and his group should not be heard, I am saying the exact opposite, they should be heard. The prob­ lem lies in the fact that 19 people do not constitute a ma­ jority in a population of more than 38. There are over 12,000 students at Appalachian and I am sure the majority of our student body does not agree with Mr. George. You, sir, have forever darkened the memory of what is supposed to be one of the highlights of one's life - graduation from college. I hope you are satisfied with what you have "ac­ complished" and hope this is something you can put on your resume: "Stopped the right of free speech at Appala­ chian State University, Spring 1996. " Again, I believe it is a sad saga in our lives when we give in to such small special interest groups, so as to dis­ rupt the lives of others and live our lives in fear that some­ one may not like what we say, think, or do. We, as a soci­ ety, as a nation, as a people, have failed when we cannot believe in the First Amendment, giving us all the right of free speech, and fight for that privilege, not to censor it. I urge each and every person who reads this to respond to Andrew George the next time he gets up in front of a crowd to speak his mind. Try stopping him and view his reaction. I will assure you, he won't like it. I agree with you Chan­ cellor Borkowski, I hope we haven't gone back to those dark days of the 1960s and 1970s. Stephen L.

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

While not everyone thinks drinking should be that important or even morally correct, the sentiment is right on.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Miss Soren's inability to communi­ cate her ideas in grammatically correct and coherent lan­ guage was simply an indictment of the Generation X's fail­ ure rather than an illustration of their accomplishments.

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

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

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

Club Sports Appalachian State University's Club Sports Program has grown tremen­ dously over the past few years. Interest and participation have helped boost the number of clubs to 14 for the 1995-96 school year. To keep the program growing we need continuing participation. Anyone interested is more than welcome to find out about the clubs currently established at ASU. Many new clubs have been initiated over the years bv students who have an interest and willingness to compete with other athletes within their sport.

RHS Security Assistants earn $4.60 per hours (midnight - 5:00 a.m.) A suggestion was made to look into building in existing parking areas and to move on-campus parking to perimeter areas. Another idea presented was to restrict freshmen and other students who live within a two-mile perimeter from being permitted to have vehicles on campus. Dr. Rapp suggested that Mr. Roy Tugman, director of Public Safety/University Police, might be able to share past University experiences and to offer some answers to questions concerning parking. Study on the job and help keep ASU safe.

The mid-level of the deck will be at road level so pedestrian traffic will be able to access the deck instead of having to walk around it.

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

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

"What we found was that the legislature was out of session," said Weaver. "Instead of focusing our at­ tention there we had a direct contact through Association of Student Gov­ ernments (ASG)." Weaver said the president of ASG is also on the Board of Governors and Paul Burleson, chair of state af­ fairs, brought the concerns for the li­ brary to ASG. Weaver and Martin also planned to bring legislation before SGA requesting $3 million for the li­ brary from the 1999 Appalachian Cen­ tennial campaign. Legislation was presented to SGA and passed in early March, according to David Ponder, rules committee chair. Weaver and Martin also promised to create a quick referral system to assist in research and loca­ tion of materials, and to restructure the library orientation tour to increase effectiveness. Weaver said she has worked with Mary Reichel, university librar­ ian, on these issues. She said when the library was renovated this summer, a new area was created just for refer­ ence. "It made it easier for students Appalachian 2000 During the campaigns last year a lot of focus was given to the creation of Appalachian 2000. The program was implemented by the Weaver and Martin administration. Appalachian 2000 was a series of open forums between students, faculty and the administration of Appalachian State. Each forum focused on spe­ cific issues such as diversity and trans­ Transportation and Parking SGA has promoted alterna­ tive transportation throughout the year with legislation and through Ap­ palachian 2000. An alternative trans­ portation committee was established and has been meeting regularly. SGA has also sponsored a parking deck referendum. The stu­ dents were not in favor of the construc­ tion of a deck and Weaver will be tak­ ing this to the Board of Trustees. Diversity Thaw Out cancelled, Horn votes no to hosting event — create a climate of diversity through multicultural curriculum, events and activities in their campaign. SGA sponsored Diversity Week during the month of February. It featured several groups on campus, such as the Native American Council and the Black Student Association. Felicia Fluid, chair of student affairs, worked on the planning of this week. "It was a better outlet to find out about different organizations," said Fluid. Weaver felt diversity week broke down barriers and gave organi­ zations something to build on for the future. She said there was a lot of coalition building between different organizations during the week. Mike Harkins, chief of staff, said the week created awareness for other issues, like hiring more minor­ ity faculty and increasing admissions of minority students. "This makes everyone aware and makes people have to change," said Harkins. "We did an amazing job," said Weaver. "We accomplished every­ thing and never lost the focus of SGA." Weaver and Martin hoped to 1 Has the administration of Darby Weaver and Robyn Martin ac­ complished all they promised during their campaign? According to Weaver, Martin and the cabinet of SGA, they have been very successful this year. The campaign of Weaver and Martin focused on four areas: reno­ vating the library, the creation of Ap­ palachian 2000, transportation and parking and diversity. portation. "We're happy with the results but turnout started to be a problem," said Ponder. "Appalachian 2000 helped inform students about impor­ tant things on this campus." Weaver said the administra­ tion is now ready to listen to the stu­ dents and they realize the importance of the student voice. Weaver will be presenting a final report on Appalachian 2000 to SGA and the administration. She hopes the program will be used as a tool for guiding on issues and decisions for next year. 1 News Editor to feel like they could come in and ask a question," said Weaver. She also said Reichel is working on improving the service, as well as on making new maps of the library. Weaver said the library is looking at ways to change the orien­ tation tour for freshmen, because stu­ dents are not getting much out of it. This is still being looked at by the li­ brary. In their platform, Weaver and Martin planned to establish a stu­ dent planning committee to assist and advise on library renovations. Weaver said she has been a part of two library committees, which have setting plans all year for the new wing to be com­ pleted in 2002. i Renee Cagle Appalachian 23 April l % 9 — «T t , "I believe that memtv, of the Board of Directors were formed of the donations that^ event produces," said s Stahlschmidt, Thaw Out chairtfiVen 1)615011 for Sigma Phi Epsilon.

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

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

Meaning that by the year 2005, the world will reach zero population growth and contain 6.5 billion people. That's 122 people per square mile making the world as crowded as Ireland, with Hi million acres of pasture, is today. A1 Gore says the popula tion may explode to 14 billion. If so, what he doesn't tell you is that our world's population density, excluding unin­ habitable areas like the poles and the Southside of Chi-1 cago, would equal that apocalypse of overpopulation we i call Pennsylvania.

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

Borkowski took notes, listened to lectures and ate lunch just like every student on this campus does day in, day out. However, unlike most of us' he loved this schedule. You sit out here on campus and think great thoughts," said Borkowski of his joyful day. "It hasn't changed much (siitce I was a college student)." Borkowski was glad to be out of the office and away from his respon­ sibilities, which include numerous meetings and conferences. He's also glad that Harkins would be left to deal with a particularly recent problem. "He can answer all of the phone calls I'm getting about Jesse Helms." At 2 p.m., Borkowski went into the ROTC building and completed an obstacle that would leave just about anyone scared stiff. Rappelling off the back of Varsity Gym is no small feat, ... someone else's shoes Mike Harkins spent his day in meetings and working in the office. (Photos by Bethany Parrish) Wendy White Reporter Chancellor Borkowski spent his day going to class, rappelling, and target shooting. (Photos by Steven p.m., when the two of them traded back, Harkins assumed the everyday duties of the Chancellor. He had five meetings, one inter­ view, and lunch at the Broyhill with Vice Chancellor for Student Develop­ ment Greg Blimling, Barbara Daye and Bob Feid, Associate Vice Chancel­ lors for Student Development. Harkins, a political science major from Centreville, Va. said that Chan­ cellor Borkowski was lucky that they switched on a Monday. "I'm taking 21 hours this semester, but fortunately for the Chancellor I only had two classes today," says Harkins. "But I did send him rappelling and to the firing range." Harkins serves as chief of staff for Student Government and says that he was impressed by how much the ad­ ministration is involved with student fife, "Duripg my meetings, 1 discussed several student issues with the admin­ istrators," says Harkins. "We talked about Helms, parking decks, the aca­ demic support building, and small group housing." Harkins says that while he en­ joyed being Chancellor for the Day, he is ready to be a student again. "Most people don't realize how hard the Chancellor works for our University," says Harkins. "He genuinely cares for ASU and its students." President of the ASU Senior Committee Clifton Williams, arranged the Chancellor For the Day. "We just really appreciate Chancellor Borkowski being a good sport and agreeing to participate." unites the world in dance Not only are the dance routines extraordinary, but the unique cos­ tumes really add flair to the perfor­ mance. Aubrey E. Derryberry, a jun­ ior from Chattanooga, Tenn. says, "I really loved the belly dancers because the costumes were so rich and shiny." Derryberry also liked the belly dance because the music was dreamlike. >y Cr''yenjoyedtheEgyp" ie > says graduate stu^0nuE Roghella from it ' II is interesting to d ve t0 see the >y «!r>eness between all of a jjent types of music from j. rent cultures through in ^ nstruments." ^mpany's focus is t0 :t feaSed awareness of ie ^ 0 traditions and cul- 1 '• Hhfj? in our homogl! ,gh'y technological so- la 4n haS performed for * Vq8 Cerem°nies of the 1984 1 ^ on3"168' on tours around the k nati°nal television and ,e ;.| ted-States, Ways an honor to be a part il- ^ ^' tDiJi>erSon's culture," says the H,..Ctor' harry Glass, "whether USIC or dance." While Chancellor Borkowski was out in the sunshine rappelling off Var­ sity Gym, senior Mike Harkins was stuck in the office meeting with im­ portant Appalachian officials, reading mail and returning phone calls. Harkins was selected as this year's Student Chancellor For the Day. Harkin's name was chosen from a drawing of Seniors who made a con­ tribution to the ASU Foundation. Harkins' entire day was mapped out for him by his secretary Carolyn. From 8:30 a.m. when Borkowski and Harkins exchanged schedules to 3:30 Mackay) f'an brings to life a fasci:• "ariety of dance and , orn around the world. pPany presents colorful Wing choreographies. ^ °nnance features au. aditional costumes and 'nts from the company's s- ^ ens'Ve collection. 3 and firing pistols in person is much harder than watching a movie hero do it. Before rappelling, Borkowski was apprehensive from fear and the pain of a pulled hamstring. "This is not good," said Borkowski. "Yes, I'm apprehensive! This is the craziest thing I've ever agreed to do." Borkowski surpassed everyone's expectation by rappelling twice. After he was done, all apprehensions had left his mind. "(It was) kind of exhilarating,' says Borkowski. "It was a lot better than I thought. I feel a lot better." Members of the ROTC were proud of Borkowski, who said he would repel again if given the chance. Borkowski would like to not only trade places with a student for the day, but maybe try swapping jobs with a faculty member, from a cafeteria worker to a professor. "It was a clearly interesting day," says Borkowski. "I learned a lot." Many of the costumes are origi­ nals from the people whose music and dance Aman performs. Glass says, "We travel sometimes to rather remote lo­ cations to obtain them from those who make and wear that clothing." This is often difficult because in many coun­ tries the people are no longer wear­ ing their traditional garments. Some­ times museums will donate costumes so the company can recreate them and on occasion, immigrant families will also donate a costume or piece to their collection. Many students had a hard time deciding which dance was their favor­ ite. Sherrie E. Varner, a graduate stu­ dent from Lex­ ington, says, "I think the Transcaucasian Republics dance is very nice." During this per­ formance the dancers sup­ plied a rich sound, and the women used a canopy to dance under and around. The origin of this distinctive genre may be traced to the custom of con­ fining a new khan of their own. In more recent times, the silk cloth has come to rep­ resent a wedding canopy, beneath which the women glide gracefully al­ most floating. This dance represents those found in Armenia, Azerbaidjan and Georgia. After the show at Farthing Audi­ torium, some students were taken aback by the extremely touching per- Aman performs dances from around the world complete with native clothing. Two dancers perform the silent dance of Bosnia (left). Appalachian culture is another aspect of the Aman's performance (right).

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

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

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

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

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

She even had some MTV footage to show us and that too was a bore (not to mention the sound in Far­ thing was worse than it's ever been). Soren didn't seem to have anything fresh or interesting to say. The best part of the presentation was the question and answer session which quickly became nothing more Appalachian deserves praise e\ yy " The Counseling and Psychological Services Cen­ ter, located in the Miles Annas Student Support Build­ ing, more commonly known as the Post Office, is available to help, as well. Their office hours are daily from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. If someone needs help at other times, the Center has an emergency line set up through campus se­ curity. Students need only call security who will get in touch with the counselor on call. The Counseling Center has six full-time counselors, who offer over 70 years of combined experience. If you have a friend who has talked about com­ mitting suicide, take it seriously. "There is no such thing as overreacting to a suicide," say Dobkin and Sippy. Breaking your promise to keep silent about a friend's threats to hurt herself only shows your car­ ing. If the person is threatening to hurt themselves immediately, call 911. If you can, keep the person talking until help arrives. Finally, we would like to offer our sympathies to Bonnie's family and friends. The tragic death of a loved one is never easy, but seems especially hard when it is a suicide. The Counseling Center is also available to all who have been affected by her death. If you are having trouble coping with the suicide, please cali them. than a barage of somewhat irrelevant queries. The first question was, "Have you ever met R .17 arpnt thing to ask a woman who hoc ono'* Okay, great fhinp to ask a woman who has interview^ Men s magazines promote harmful images Daniel Bothun Columnist There are many complaints by women about stereo­ typical female images in the media. Many say that women in the media are portrayed mostly as thin, beautiful mod­ els. There isn't much complaining by men about male images, although these images are just as harmful as the female ones. I have several com­ plaints about negative male images in the media, specifically those that appear in men's magazines. These images reinforce some gender roles that I also disagree with. If you pick up a men's maga­ zine, such as Esquire or GQ, you will find male images inside. Most of these images may be found in ad­ vertisements, although some maybe found in the pictures that go along with the articles. Almost all the men in the magazines are models with perfect bodies and chisled faces. These images of men are what I like to call "mimbo" (male bimbo) images. Males are subliminally told that they should look like these mimbo images and develop unhealthy obsessions with their appearance. These men might exercise too much, get an eating disorder and/or take steroids to look like the men in the ads. On a side note, I don't mean to imply that all male models are stupid. I simply mean that the intellectual sides of men are not portrayed in most ads. Many people will tell you that men just don't care about their appearance. These people are lying. A study in the Oct. 1995 issue of Reader's Digest states that, "94 percent of men surveyed would like to change some as­ pect of their physical appearance." It later adds that the majority of men said they wanted to be more muscular. The University of Michigan's School of Public Health found that 40 percent of men surveyed wanted to lose weight. Forty-five percent said they wanted to gain weight. It's not just the images in these magazines that are harmful. Some of the articles are harmful as well. For example, Esquire ran an article called "How to be a Man, 1994." First of all, if any man needs an article to tell him how to be a man, then that man is a gullible, pathetic moron. Second, the context of the article is stereotypical of men and reinforces the gender expectations society has for men. The article criticizes the sensitive, liberated man and undermines his manhood. It says that the sensitive man is, "communicative and non­ competitive, secure enough to both support women as they assumed their place in the world and to hap­ pily compensate for their absence at home, basically a woman with a penis..." The previous statement im­ plies that all sensitive men are, "women with penises," and that men who stay at home are the same. This view is clearly wrong because it reinforces the stereotypical roles of a gender-dominated society. These gender roles have expectations like women should stay home and do house­ work, and men should go to work and be the breadwin­ ners of a family Some families may fit these gender ex­ pectations, but some don't. Many familes have wives that work and husbands that stay home, or have both work­ ing. Women and men are capable of doing housework and should equally distribute household chores. Although men's magazines are fine for some, they are certainly not in my eyes. These magazines encourage men to conform to society's standards of manhood instead of being individuals. I may be a little off-base with my interpretation of magazines, but I think my interpretation is as valid as anyone else's. Tim Nicholson v * Columnist I'd like to talk about what I like about Appalachian1 State, namely the students, mountains, community and mostly the professors and the administration. They are' the best. If you read the editorials, you know I have addressed many problems. Examples include parking, the administration's lack of an ear for the Student Government1 Association and Association of Student Governments, thepre-math test, the grading system and the oppression of youth in the school and governmental system. Did even1 one person try to silence me, ever? Did one person ever try to retaliate or even say an unkind word? No! It shocked1 and relieved me that those who could have felt attacked1 only treated me better if anything! They listened, showed1 understanding, even agreement and showed me respect1 and affection. These people have become heroes for me. They know who they are, but there are too many to name, They are everywhere at Appalachian. Yes, problems still bother all of us, and we have a duty1 to speak out against wrongs. I have complained louder1 and more than most, but the time has come to balance all that. If you take the whole ball of wax, Appalachian de­ serves the highest praise. I would give each person who helped me a million dollars if I could. Maybe because of all their help, someday that will be possible. I don't mean we should not try to make our Appala­ chian even better. Instead, it means trying to make it bel­ ter is important because of how valuable it is. From the moment I applied to Appalachian, the red carpet came roll­ ing out. The secretaries were the first to go out of their1 way to help me. They treated me like family, for no reasonexcept kindness and high standards of respect and carefof the students. I was nobody special, just an older student who I intimidated by the thought of asking for help and accep­ tance. After talking to admissions, I felt special. Th^ deserve medals for their help.

I offer an alternative to the parking deck. Spend the five million dollars on alternative transportation. I'm sure that AppalCART could make some improvements with some of that money. Expand State Farm [parking lot] or build other lots off-campus that could be used as "com muter" lots and provide a shuttle that ran to campus and back every 20 minutes. Build bike paths and walkways that might encourage more people to walk to class. The parking deck might relieve parking problems for a few years, but it is not the solution.

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

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

's species of birds that you might see are wild turkeys, peregrine falcons, and different types of owls. There are also over 190 plant species, with 10 classi­ fied as "globally imperiled." The only eyesore upon the hori­ zon is the horrendous Sugartop, which stands 10 stories above the ridgeline on top of Sugar Mountain. Some people refer to it as "Sugarloaf, which if you use your imagination, you may be able to figure out what they are referring to (the key word being "loaf'). "I liked the view," says sopho­ more Dana M. McLelland of Statesville. "It was neat being up that high and seeing mountains like Tablerock." The animal habitats are also worth checking out.. Cougars, bald and golden eagles, deer and black bears are all represented. The eagles are gunshot survivors of dim-witted hunters from the west coast. Most only have one wing, but they tire able to reproduce and have healthy hatchlings. "I thought it was nice that a habi­ tat was created for the eagles, instead of having them destroyed," says Hall. "They were beautiful." .. Rt 2 Box 389, Brevard NC 28712 % 262-6438 'Rock Climbing. Riding. Mountain Diking. Swimminq. White Water "3Canoeing. Field Sports.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Of course it wouto be unfair to judge an entire generation by a herd of graa puffing mud bathers. There were some from that gen eration who put themselves on the line in the civil rightf movement. But they were a minority." The consequences surrounding our withdrawal frou Vietnam isn't mentioned very often among these now middle aged radicals. Former radical and Reagat speechwriter Peggy Noonan explains: "The characters on Thirtysomething will probablj never say, You know that war, I look at what happened after we left and we were wrong.

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

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

Last but not least, any fly fisherman needs a good supply of flies. Flies only run about a $1.75 apiece, but most fishermen usually go through two or three every time out. After a while that may start pinching your wallet. Experienced fishermen usually make their own flies.

Any­ one who has ever tried it loves it. Anyone who has ever watched it becomes mesmerized by it. Boone is a perfect setting for such a sport.

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Higher education has a quality that secondary schools do not, and that is creativ­ ity," said Biddle, speaking about college aca­ demics. Another issue concerning higher learning was the technology available today, such as Internet services. "The world is chang­ ing very rapidly," said Toub. He claimed higher education needs to respond to the rapidly changing world and students need to be pa­ tient and flexible until all of the services are available.

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

"Some white gos­ pel quartets were integrated by the early 1970s, which is a recognition of the success of civil rights," he said. 'That's why the focus of my research is when white and black gospel began to mix. That's when the lines start to become blurred." Goff first became interested in the history of white quartet gospel Tabitha Soren will present a lecture on Monday, April 15 at 8 p.m. at Farthing Auditorium at Appalachian. Soren came to MTV news in 1991 from the ABC affiliate in Vermont where she anchored the nightly news and served as the State House correspondent She not only reported the stories but also shot them herself. While still in college, she worked at ABC's World News Tonight with Peter Jennings, as well as with WNBC and CNN. In Addition to her MTV responsibilities, Soren is a contributing writer for Elle Magazine, writes a bi­ monthly column for The New York Times syndicate and is a columnist for USA Weekly. (Photo provided by Cultural Affairs) music in 1992, when he began to real­ ize a lot of singers in the quartets, like himself, have backgrounds in Pentecostalism. As he learned how music bridged the gap between people of different denominations, he discov­ ered the lack of gospel quartets' re­ corded history. "What really makes this re­ search great for me is going out and talking to the singers who lived through the story which I will try to tell in my writing," Goff said. "How the story of the gospel quartets has played out up until now really hasn't been documented." Goff said aside from mon­ etary support, his research will ben­ efit from the connections Maurice Templeton, owner of the Singing News, and editor Jerry Kirksey, have in the gospel music business. "It would be much more dif­ ficult to get ahold of the right people without their connections," he said. "I have a certain amount of clout with their name'recognition behind me. The Singing News has been wonder­ ful to work with and they want the true story of the quartets' history." low Appalachian Food Services' combos compare Combo Food Court McDonald's Wendy's Backyapd Burger 1/4 LB Cheeseburger $2.79 $3.39 $2.99 $2.99 Chicken Filet Sandwich $3.29 $3.59 $3.99 $3.99 Double Cheeseburger $3.99 N/A $4.29 Bacon Cheeseburger $3.49 N/A $3.89 $3.75 Two Jr. Cheeseburgers $2.79 $2.99 N/A N/A Fish Filet Sandwich $2.79 $2.99 N/A •HHHi N/A If Source: Appalachian Food Services READY FOR A CHANGE?

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

Everyone gave up on these activities after quitting at least one and pick­ ing up another. Later I got into archery. Watching "The Cosby Show" was my Thursday night tradition and 1 truly believed that there were families who lived like that. The Brady Bunch was an "old" show, but cool, and we all wished to know a boy as cute as Greg. Ronald Reagan was a jellybean-eating president who almost got killed by a crazy man on television. When the Challenger exploded, the world stood still. My teacher, a big science buff, stood in front of the TV he'd brought into Erica Everett Columnist In the new information age our society is faced with a growing problem. Computers contain a mass of valuable personal information that becomes more accessible as the com­ puters are linked. This personal information is subject to misuse at a time when laws concerning computers and privacy is unclear. I found much information about this issue in a book called Principles of Information Systems, A Managerial Approach. The author, Ralph M. Stair, writes, "In America there are four billion records on individuals collected by about 100 federal agencies." These records, along with others created by state and local governments as well as profit and nonprofit organizations of all types and sizes, contain personal information that ranges from a person's name and address to their financial records, height and weight. Usually the information is collected for legitimate reasons. For example, the Social Security department collects information on people in order to distribute benefits after retirement. What we may not think about is that the Social Security Department also issues a personalized number to each person that can be illegally used by a criminal to access information. That information could be used illegally for theft or other wrong do­ ings. The information could also be legally sold to a marketing company to create mailing lists. "Certain sets of information on people can be purchased for about $500 per 5,000 names," writes Stair. There have been laws passed for privacy in general. These laws are important, but since we have moved into an advanced era where computers store a large amount of personal information on individuals, I think it is time to pass some more specific legisla­ tion. No entity should be able to sell personal information that the public is required to give. This legislation would prohibit states from selling information gained from register­ ing vehicles. In cases when an individual is not required to give information on themselves but does so anyway, there should be an opportunity for them to prohibit the company from selling, trading or giving that information to someone else at the time that the information is given. Currently, anyone can stop information about themselves from being distributed. The problem is that it is hard to know who is distributing the information. If a company has the intention of later distributing the information, it should be clear to the customer. It is exciting for businesses to have the ability to maintain personal information on consumers. This ability should not be taken advantage of. Computers will become in­ creasingly powerful, and as a result consumers will become increasingly taken advantage of. Now is the time to pass legislation on computers and privacy.

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

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

Women's Studies is a discipline that should be recognized and respected for its challenging and inspiring academic curriculum. Since it is my major, I can assure John Nolte that the Women's Studies curriculum does not offer any courses related to the domestic tasks that he has described. As for his wife, I think she offered him some good advice. I invite him to take a Women's Studies course while he is in the process of exploring potential majors.

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

The Appalachian n a ' -Baited 1 B— — Karamazov brothers fly into Appalachian Richard Smith Assistant Features Editor They don't fly, they aren't Russian, and they aren't even brothers (with each other, anyway). They are the Flying Karamazov Brothers, who are currently touring the coun­ try in support of their juggling/musical/theatrics comedy, "Club Sandwich," which flew through Appalachian's Farthing Auditorium last night. The Flying Karamazov Brothers, Paul Magid, Howard Patterson, Sam Williams, and Michael Preston (Dimitri, Ivan, Smerdyakov, aand Rakitin on stage) are a troupe of comedic jugglers/actors/musicians/writers who wow audiences with astounding feats of jug­ gling and rapid-fire comedy. In their 22-year career, the brothers have enjoyed three runs on Broadway, their own Showtime special, and other gigs with The Who, Frank Sniatra, and several world tours. The brothers got their start on the streets of San Francisco ("the actual streets, not the TV show," as stated in their bio). Last month, however, they were on an actual TV show doing a spot on NBC's Seinfeld as The Flying Sandos Brothers. Sandos? Wasn't Karamazov an odd enough name? Not according the show's writ­ ers, said Patterson in an interview before yesterday's performance. "They wanted us to be gypsies," says Patterson. "They had no in­ terest in anything authentic about gypsies, in­ cluding the name. It's amazing how closely they stick to the script. They let Jason Alexander improvise a little, but that's it" Improvisation for the Karamazovs, how­ ever, is a part of what makes their act so spe­ cial. lheres a lot ut room tor improvisation with (Club Sandwich)," says Patterson. The current Karamazov production is a spool ol classic Humphrey Bogart detective movies with plenty of juggling, music and wild comedy. The brothers are constantly throwing in new jokes and elements to the act every night, in addition to keeping up with what all else is going on with performing. "You have all these tracks going in your head all the time during a performance," says Patterson. "What am I supposed to say next? What are the things that we've said before here that were funny?"

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

(Photos provided by Mark Smith) Ultimate fun Rebecca Goodhart Reporter When the weather is warm and the sun is shining there are students playing Frisbee on the mall. Not all the Frisbee lovers are out there just playing around, some of them are practicing. Practicing for Ultimate Frisbee. The Appalachian ultimate Frisbee team, better known as the Alien Mountain Nomads, competed in a tournament at Guilford college the weekend of March 29-31. The Nomads came in second, losing to the defending na­ tional champions. In fact, the Nomads are ranked 24th in the nation. With such good standings it is sur­ prising more students don't know about them. The Nomads are a club team in the fall, rtieaning anyone can play, and a school team in the spring, which is only open to college students. Everyone is welcome to tryout. There is also a girls ultimate team for any in­ terested females. f t Playing Frisbee is fun, but ultimate Frisbee is also a lot of work. Ultimate Frisbee, which is best described as a cross between football and soccer requires skill, and is full of strategy and special throws. There are no referees which is one of the reasons ultimate club president Mark A. Smith, a senior from Wilson, enjoys the game so much. "Ultimate is a sport where there is an underlying value for sportsmanship and re­ spect for everyone you play for and against," says Wilson. "There are no referees so you must rely on mutual respect." Brian R Cloninger, a freshman from Henderson and a member of the ultimate team says he thinks the Nomads could win the na­ tionals. That is harder than it sounds. Three of the top five national teams are from North Carolina. The Nomads are selling Frisbee discs with their logo on them in order to raise funds for the program. These discs will be available at their next tournament for $8 the weekend after Easter break at State Farm. once an hour for the entire day. Weekend ments are taped early, giving Schaaf the w end ofif. Schaaf was working at Booth before landed the anchor job. "I was working... a part-time gopher, saysShaaf. "They heard I was a journa major and they asked me if I wanted to i for the camera." Juggling her studies, her regular t time job as a "gopher" at Booth Commut tions and the morning anchoring job is at lenge for Schaaf. But, as the month move ,she is getting used to her hectic schedul "I was very nervous at first," says SI "I had never been on camera before or thing," But Shaaf says the process has gotten ter. "I'm totally comfortable now - realh laxed." Preparing for the segment takes a! two hours. Schaaf arrives at the small sti around 8 a.m., selects and writes most of news stories and does a practice run thro most of the segment. The actual taping takes about 10 mini five ofwhich will actually air.

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

This one's out See Wither page 9 Anchor their career? One option is a pan-time business, and for students it is becoming the career - building strategy of choice. Many administrative professionals have seenan increase over the past few years in students looking for more serious work experience. The more perceptive college students are realizing they can use the real world of business experience gained through this kind of opportunity to distinguish themselves from their peers after graduation. It provides a solution to the problem so many face- where the student cannot find a position without experience, but cannot get experience without a position. Business Services of Boone is sponsoring a special presentation that will give students an opportunity to join a leading national corporation, be trained and ready to "take a part-time business home for the summer." Students taking advantage of this opportunity will enter the business world and explorecareer possibilitiesat thesame time. The opportunity enables students to gain the career experience, while making money which will continue after graduation.

Schaaf gets her news from The Watauga Democrat and the Associated Press wire service. Even though the news is often behind, many local resi­ dents and students may not find out what's going on in their community any other way. "Obviously, there's (an) interest in local news stories," says Schaaf. The Local Edition, although new to the Boone area, is not an original idea. Many small cities across the country have this type of news seg­ ment. Permission is needed by Headline News Headquarters in Atlanta before a local company can start their own news segment to air in place of the entertainment-lifestyle section that Usual ends the half-hour broadcasts. Tony Barlage, general manager of Booth Communications in Boone, is proud of the new segment and feels it will help the Boone area. "This is a service from (Ted) Himer (owner of CNN and Headline News) to the com­ munity to keep them informed of lo­ cal news." Public reaction to the new seg- ment has been more positive than negative. Shaaf calls most of the criti­ cism constructive. "It was hard at first, but... everyone gets criticized." A lot of people have been calling (and) saying they want to see the en­ tertainment section." Reactions from family and friends are quite positive. "They love it," says Shaaf. "They thought it was better than it was going to be." For those who are curious to know what is written on the papers on Shaaf s desk during the broadcast, she points out that they're blank. Like all anchors, at the end of the broadcast, Shaaf either writes on the papers or shuffles them. "They just told me to do that," says Shaaf. "You just don't want to stare at the camera." Viewers should also note that the background is fake. The wall of com­ puters is actually an eight-foot card­ board picture sent from Headline News in Atlanta. Barlage says Shaaf has done well from the very beginning. "(Her suc­ cess) speaks well of Appalachian and the departments she came out of." "I enjoy it a lot," says Shaaf. "I'm really lucky."

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

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

Appalachian had to fight off a tough Charleston Southern team, 4-3, to end the month of March. The team got key wins from Zach Sharpe and Frank Connor, who won their singles matches at the fifth and sixth spots respectively and teamed up to win 8-6 at third doubles. Also participating in two Mountaineers wins was first singles/first doubles man Pedro Lopes, who won his singles match on a tiebreaker, then teamed up with Mannuel Zapata to win a doubles match 8-4. The Mountaineers were then able to cruise through two 7-0 victories over UNCAsheville and VMI before their most impor­ tant match of the seaAppalachian son against East Ten­ nessee State. ha d t o f i g h t o f f Coming into the match at ETSU, the a tough Mountaineers had not Charleston beaten the Buccaneers Southern team, in almost 20 years. 4-3, to end the East Tennessee has al­ ways been a tennis month of power in the Southern March.

Zabor took the first set 6-1, then lost the second set on a tiebreaker before pulling out a gut-wrench­ ing third set 7-5.

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

"We are very lucky to have found these suspects so quickly," said Foster.

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

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

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

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

BILKO WANTS YOU Steven Mackay Reporter Hollywood has once again taken a chance on their most rocky of theo­ ries - that fondly remembered old tele­ vision shows make solid ideas for sure­ fire hit movies. A rather odd practice, there have been some spectacular winners ("The Fugitive") and some abysmal losers ("The Beverly Hillbillies") in this game of chance. Fortunately, their latest reincarna­ tion falls into the winners circle. Based on a running skit on the 1950's "The Phil Silvers Show," "Sgt. Bilko," now showing at the Chalet, is a trooper. Thankfully, there's not much of a plotline, which probably would have been generic and sappy anyway, to drag the film down. Master Sergeant/conmam Bilko (Steve Martin) and his platoon have fun, shirk duty, oversleep, make money illegally and literally horse around under the nose of their colonel (Dan Aykroyd). Their only real worry is Bilko's arch-enemy, the well-named Major Thorn (Phil Hartman). If you're getting the shaky feel­ ing that this is a "Saturday Night Live" alumni special, you're right. Another ex-"SNL' draftee is Chris Rock as a base inspector-zombie from the Pentagon. Off base hi-jinks center around Bilko's habit of forgetting to show up at the church on time to marry his long time fiance (Gleanne Headley of "Mr. Holland's Opus"). It's that simple. The PG-rated "Sgt. Bilko" offers nothing but good, clean laughs. Unlike such dreadful recycled fare as the aforementioned "Hillbillies," toilet humor hasn't been added to "age up" this family fare. Also surprising is how smart these characters can be at times. Whether they're hiding the motor pool's casino or visiting the real casinos in Vegas (noticing a pattern here?) while out on field exercises, these troops are al­ ways ahead of their superiors. We're never actually laughing at Bilko and his gang, we're more likely to be laughing with them. Martin returns to his "wild and crazy" Slick Willie persona after a long succession of playing the straight man in such films as "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" and "Father of the Bride." The supporting cast know he is the general jester, and they fall into formation accordingly. A "Stripes" for today's audience, "Sgt. Bilko" is no Desert Storm in the line of absolute genius, but it is a stand up and salute film for grunts of all ages. Grade: B+ Everything you need to start your own business.

(Photo by Renee Cagle) .awsuit targets minority grants son Pennell News Editor Appalachian alumnus and current l-Greensboro graduate student, Jack W. has filed a lawsuit against the Univertf North Carolina system to stop racial disination in the awarding of minority pres­ ents. Appalachian is one of the institutions leUNC system which awards minority 'arships and is therefore one of the defens in this lawsuit. Two of the eight plaintiffs in this case Appalachian students Michael D. Hagerty, '!Robert T'. Darnell. Hagerty actively opposed the affirmaiction issues last year and sees this issue sally important. "I don't believe the way 'diversity is to give special treatment," Rapp takes over new office Students of Appalachian will be able to vote on the future of a parkduring the month of April. The Student Government Association passed legislation to hold a referendum at Tuesday's meeting. The SGA bill was passed unaniby the senators, and will be brought to Darby Weaver, SGA president, would be funded through fines affairs. According to the only 126 students re­ and registration of vehicles." ed surveys while the rest — J. Dan Norris, ,ftom faculty and staff. External Affairs Chair The future of the —— jng deck was also disedinan Appalachian 2000 forum about transportation and parking. While dang deck was discussed, there were no solutions agreed upon by the ei and students. The SGA bill was introduced by off-campus senators Brett W. as,Carter L. Maden and Lauren S. 'Little and cabinet member Dan Norris. Walters said the students have not been a part of the decision to i a parking deck, which is the reason for the referendum. "This issue concerns primarily students as the parking deck would aided through fines and registration of vehicles," said Norris. He also waged senators to research the parking deck and get involved in the tndum. "There will be at least one debate about the referendum,"said David ier, rules chair. The proposed dates for the referendum are April 16 and 17 in the ait union. Volume 70, Number 40 said Hagerty. According to the complaint, the in­ stitutions in the University of North Carolina system practiced formal discrimination from its beginning in 1789 until the mid-1900s against African-Americans in that they were not permitted to enjoy the same access to and benefits from the university as white citizens. According to the complaint, the plain­ tiffs believe this grant program was legitimate when they were first introduced up until 1980. They now say times have changed and that racist policies against African-American stu­ dents have ended; therefore these grants are not necessary. Harry L. Williams, assistant director of admissions at Appalachian, said, "We have a responsibility to try to work together and de­ segregate higher education. We are a society where we don't want to be separated any­ more. In the past, the system of higher edu­ cation was segregated and African-American and white students did not have the choice of attending just any school, said Williams. As a part of recruitment, these mi­ nority presence incentive grants were originally offered to African-American students in the North Carolina system as a federal mandate. The federal guideline for these grants stipulated that the student must qualify for fi­ nancial aid. They have to complete the fed­ eral financial aid form. Williams said if an African-American student is trying to get in at Appalachian but does not have the money, the grant will encourage him. He said a student of middle class would not be accepted for the grant because he would have to qualify through federal guidelines. "It's not a give-me-grant," said Will­ iams. "It's based on need." According to Williams, each univer­ sity receives a different allotment of the grant from the state depending on their location and population. He said the majority of students at Appalachian come from within a two-hour radius and the African-American population in this area is small, so the University receives a smaller amount of the grant than schools like the UNC-Chapel Hill. An approximate total of $1.6 mil­ lion is allotted for these grants statewide with $49,000 going toward Appalachian. The students receiving grants are awarded between $600-$l,500 based on their financial need. Williams said Appalachian tries to support 48 students with this grant. "It's about trying to make things bet­ ter in our society," said Williams. The other universities involved in the lawsuit are the University of North Carolina School of Law at Chapel Hill, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Western Carolina University and the University of North Caro­ lina at Asheville. was vacant, and the director of systems and special projects, the posi­ tion held by Rapp. "I believe it will make our operation more efficent by combining the two Rapp offices and it will provide me with a different goal," said Rapp. As the new associate vice chancel­ lor for administration, Rapp will be respon­ sible for the handling of financial aspects of the University along with the telephone op­ erations of Appalachian. Rapp will also work with purchas­ ing, the budget office, the central warehouse, the post office, and systems and special projects. Rapp came to Appalachian as a pro­ fessor in 1971 in the technology department. He received his bachelor's degree in indus­ trial arts from Kent State University in I960 and his master's degree in 1965. Rapp re­ ceived a doctor of education degree from the University of Northern Colorado in 1972. Rapp said his major goal in this new office is reviewing business systems and prac­ tices. He said he hopes to find ways to refine business affairs by eliminating unnecesary steps. Rapp said by reengineering the sys­ tem they can hopefully reduce paper work and cost, which will make the office more ef­ fective. Rapp is currently meeting with and talking to the different units on campus about their work and any ideas they have on chang­ ing operations. "Dr. Rapp's expertise in the area of systems and processes and his knowledge of the university were critical factors in his ap­ pointment," said Jane Helm, vice chancellor for business afffairs.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

COMING SOON �28 March 1996 Mike Daniels Assistant Sports Editor alachian State's intramural depart' ^ade news again, this time in the Atf ^ast Regional 1996 Schick Super Hoops 3 Basketball Tournament at East Caro- Sports Commentary University. The team Thug Life II represented Appan in the tournament on February 10. intramural officials also participated in Well in case you didn't know it, if you're one of the 10 people in this country who picked the entire final four correctly, you deserve a hand. In fact, to have picked this final four, you probably deserve more than that, they should give you a job at ESPN sitting between Digger Phelps and Dick Vitale. For the rest of you who had UConn, Kansas or Cincinatti to play in East Rutheford, don't worrry, you're not out of the pool just yet. Nobody would have picked Mississippi State and Syracuse to get there. Therefore, everybody has that side of the bracket crossed out. The pan that's really neat about this is that one of these teams is actually going to make it to the championship game - a fourth or fifth seed in the championship game. The last time a seed that low made it that far was 1985 when Villanova upset a powerhouse Geogretown team led by Patrick Ewing to win it ah. Two years before that amazing win, sixth seed NC State toppled the juggernaut Houston, which featured Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexlet .lournament. Thug Life II lost in the first game of the • robin play to UNC-Greensboro 39-36, "^covered to defeat Alamance Junior Col"58-28, and South Carolina State 41-26. ' advancing to the playoff rounds, the defeated Fayetteville State 51-42, and -una Commonwealth 59-47, and in the jnpionship game, the team defeated VirjaTech 47-32. Thug Life II is comprised of James Apple, 5 Brown, Bryan Stonebreaker, and Nathan [merman. This was the second time this year that intramural team from Appalachian has ^pated in a national tournament. Over [Stmas break, the co-rec flag football team ;Company played for the national Hag foot1 championship in New Orleans. Also earning recognition were intramulofficials Vaki Karampourniotis and Jimmy Caha.

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

Fourteen out of the 17 cars' driver's side windows were broken out. Items such as radar detectors, speakers, stereos, CD play­ ers and tools were taken from the vehicles.

The conference was divided into three sessions, which featured four different workshops in each session. Among the pro­ grams were: developing the creative spirit, benefits of being a woman leader, pressures to be perfect and female/male communication. The day began with opening remarks from Barbara Daye, associate vice chancellor for student development. Daye used one of her grandmother's quilts to show that what was once considered women's work was really her creative outlet. "I think of her as an artist," Daye said. Daye said she remembers quilt-mak­ ing being a neighborhood activity. She said the women pieced quilts and talked to each other.

Beaman, who managed the pool in Broome-Kirk Gymnasium when it was in operation, said they hope to have the pool up and running again soon. She said the systems were turned on this weekend and the pool was filled with water to see if the leak was fixed. "We hope to have it back up before the end of the semester," said Beaman. The leaks in the pool were due to five large holes in pipes in the heating unit, said Clyde D. Robbins, physical plant administrator. He said when the heating unit is working properly, water comes to the unit from one pipe and is di­ rected through 15 pipes. Steam heats the water in the pipes. The water is then directed back to the pool. This process was disturbed when the holes developed in the pipes. Instead of water going back to the pool after being heated, it was mixed with the steam and returned to the steam plant in the form of condensation. Robbins said several major problems have occurred with the pool in the past few years. The heating unit has worn out and been replaced, as has the filtration system. Other problems have not been as serious, such as replacing pipes, drains and separated tiles. 1 1* According to Robbins, the problems occurring are typical of a 41-year-old pool. The chemicals which purify-the water are high in chlorine and acid content and are destructive to the pipes and other equipment. Robbins said the pool has far exceeded the time range that was originally expected of it. He said if the pool is rebuilt, it will be done in another location. The current pool will be filled-in and may be used as another gym for intramurals. "It's (building a new pool) in our long-range planning," said Robbins. "Our goal now is to hold it together." x Pam Griffin Reporter MCI representatives have been on campus since Wednesday pro­ moting Local Internet Access and The Appalachian Connection.

As of March 15, after one week of marketing, MCI had acquired 350 active users. "We are averaging about 100 sign-ups per week," said Worthington. "Our goal is to have as many users as possible in Boone up to date with our program, and by fall we will have enough equipment to supply an infi­ nite number of users." According to Worthington, so many people have signed up recently that MCI has had to order more equip­ ment. MCI has a contract with Appa lachian to provide a 95 percent access rate and has a 30-day window. With all the users they have acquired in such a short amount of time, MCI has fallen a little behind, but intends to be back on track by the second week in April.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Concerts Council �The Appalachian 26 March lev, I Page 6 FDR comes to Appalachian Steven Mackay Reporter Former President Franklin D. Roosevelt is coming to Appalachian for a one-night only history presentation. Well, OK. Not exactly. Roosevelt will be played by Edward H. Beardsley, a history professor/performer from the University of South Carolina. Beardsley will present his one man show, "Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal: An Experience in Historical Theater," April 1 at 7 p.m. in the Calloway/McRae room at Plemmons Student Union. The show will consist of a 45-minute monologue on the political and social climates of the 1930s from the famed president's view­ point, along with traditional period music and a slide show. Beardsley will end the program with a brief, ad-libbed "press conference." Here, au­ dience members could ask "Roosevelt" any question, from the difficulties of the1930s and '40s to how "he" would deal with the prob­ lems our leaders face today. Beardsley started performing "Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal" in 1982 to liven his history classes at the University of South Carolina. He finds it almost "maddening" that he has to go so far out of his way to spark the interest of students. But he is willing to take on the challenge. "History is a discipline that requires a little paying attention to," says Beardsley. "It's more of an interest when somebody gets to be a little older." Beardsley points out that the main road­ block in some students' interest is the glam­ our and sexiness of today's pop culture. "I have to compete with that." Over the years, Beardsley's presentation has become a major event on the USC cam­ pus. Some of his shows have attracted over 300 students. Beardsley has brought his show to other college campuses in numerous states, and has performed on television as well. He also has dramas based on Teddy Roosevelt and Ben­ jamin Franklin. Beardsley's strong admiration of Roosevelt's administration is the key to this particular show. "Roosevelt was an important figure in an important time," says Beardsley. A theme in his program is to highlight that importance, especially in today's political climate where many politicians, both Republi­ can and Democrat, agree that the federal gov­ ernment has grown too large and powerful. "I hope that students will be interested in ... (Roosevelt's) leadership (and) that era in which the federal government expanded enor­ mously and developed all sorts of programs," says Beardsley. "1 would hope that students see FDR page 7 Edward H. Beardsley plays FDR in "Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Deal."

Professor Thomas McLaughlin took stu­ dents from his introduction to film class to New York to see films they would never see in Boone. "New York is a city where films are shown that are not shown anywhere else in the United States," says McLaughlin. "We would get up in the morning and look in the paper to see which films were playing and break up into groups," says McLaughlin. Some of the films they saw in New York include a Hong Kong film, "Chung King Express," "Taxi Driver," "Fargo,""Young Poisoners Handbook" and "City of Lost Chil­ dren." Cecilia J. Perkins, a senior communica­ tion major from Lincolnton, was one of the students who accompanied McLaughlin to New York. "1 went to New York because 1 tm mm mm mm had never been before," says Perkins. During the trip everyone broke up into small groups and toured the city. "We walked like crazy - one time we walked from 34th street to 57th street just to eat," says Perkins. "We never road in a taxi; I was scared of the way they drove." While in New York, Perkins and others visited the Empire State Building, Planet Hol­ lywood, The Official Ail-Star Cafe, Macy's, and Tiffany's. The Official All-Star Cafe was celebrat­ ing the 20th anniversary of "Rocky." There were quite a few celebrities at the celebration including Sugar Ray Leonard, Jim Belushi, Lauren Hutton and Sylvester Stallone Movie stars were not the only celebri ties Perkins met. Among the others were people from A Current Affair, Enter­ tainment Tonight, Inside Edition, MTV and a photographer from the New Yorker who was originally from An Appalachian film class recently went to New York to watch films and experience the city. (Photo provided by Cecilia J. Perkins) Hickory. While in New York, the group stayed at Appalachian's New York loft. Perkins says it was quite an expe­ rience. "1 was expect­ ing something a lot crummier than it was," says Perkins. "It reminds you of a big art studio divided up into rooms." Perkins liked the loft's neighborhood so much, she didn't mind the unexpected visitors (rats). "New York was a really great experience -1 would definitely go again," Says Ashley M. Brackett, a junior from "The experience of being there, of finding your way around the city gives students confidence." Appalachian professor, Thomas McLaughlin Lenior. "The loft is something that you have to experience. It was a lot of fun." Perkins describes New York as gray and noisy with taxi cabs, horns and squealing tires. "It was weird that when we got out of New York we could hear birds singing again," says Perkins. "In New York you couldn't hear any­ thing." The group also visited Chinatown and Soho. "There is no word 1 could use to de­ scribe Chinatown," says Perkins. "There is a fish market on every corner, and stores where you can buy three shirts for $10 or three hats for $10." The Big Apple is a multicultural city where new experiences and opportunities abound. "I would take another group of students to the loft," says McLaughlin. "The experience of be­ ing there, of finding your way around the city gives students confidence." Hope Jordan and Robin Roberts (above) were among the students who stayed at the loft while in New York. (Photo by Cecilia J. Perkins Comet 'once in a lifetime chance sun. dan. brightness and length.

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

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

(File photo) Mountaineer baseball sweeps Thundering Herd Mike Daniels Assistant Sports Editor The Appalachian State men's baseball team had a pretty good weekend, despite the fact that the team had to travel to Gran­ ite Falls to play its home games, due to their snow-covered field here in Boone. The reason for the Mountaineers' happy bus trip back to ASU? A three game sweep of conference rival Marshall. Appalachian won both games of the double header on Saturday 7-4 and 4-0. The Apps finished up a fun weekend of im­ proving their conference record at the ex­ pense of the Thundering Herd with a 4-0 shutout of the Herd Sunday afternoon. Junior pitcher Stutzman improved his record to 2-0 with a three-hit shutout of the not so Thundering Herd. Stutzman struck out eight and only walked three batters. The win also lowered Stuzman's Southern Conference leading ERA to 1.11. At the plate the Mountaineers were led by senior Scott Musgrave who knocked in three of the team's four runs. Musgrave fin­ ished the game with four hits and a stolen base. Junior Pete Snitzer batted in the Apps other run with a sacrifice fly in the fourth in­ ning that allowed senior Shane Owenby to score. Other Mountaineers that crossed the plate were senior Tim Puscian and sophomore Brett Berrier. The wins put the team back to .500 in the Southern Conference at 7-7 and 11-9 over­ all. The Apps' next game will be Tuesday afternoon at Virginia Tech. ASU track begins outdoor season David Willis Sports Editor The outdoor track season is underway and Appalachian made the transition from indoor to outdoor quite easily this past week­ end at the Wake Forest Invitational, which in­ cluded 22 schools. The men's squad was led by Robert Johnson in the high jump with a height of 6' 9 3/4", which turned out to be the winning jump. Johnson also placed fifth in the 200 meter dash with a personal record of 22.05. Jason Gibson placed fourth in the 110 meter hurdles with a time of 14.60. Gibson was also a part of the 4x100 meter relay team that placed third with a time of 42.15. Other members include Mike Lapid, Raymond Brewer, and Johnson. Will Dickerson also set a personal best with a time of 8:51.62 in the 3,000 meter. "Considering the cold and windy condi­ tions, we were very pleased with our perfor­ mances," said ASU Track Coach John Weaver. "Appalachian was very visible among the top 10 performances." The women's squad performed even bet­ ter as Nikki Harris placed in all three of her events. Harris placed third in the triple jump with a distance of 37' 3", fourth in the 100 meter dash with a time of 12.68, and joined Michelle Simmons, Karen Houston, and Trice Roundtree to earn third place in the 4x100 meter relay. Houston also placed in her other three events as she earned fifth in the 100 meter dash and the 200 meter dash. Houston also placed seventh in the 4x400 meter relay with Juanita Welford, Lisa Roberts, and Trell Roundtree. Ayokka Green set a stadium record in the shot put and won the meet with a distance of 45' 71/4". Rachel Olander placed seventh in the jav­ elin throw with a distance of 122' 1". Other notable finishers for the Lady Apps were Roberts in the triple jump, finishing sixth, and Tabitha Proffit set a personal record by two feet in the shot put. "The weather held back the performances, but the competition was keen and Appalachian was in the middle of it all day," added coach Weaver. "We are very pleased." The two squads will next compete at the Raleigh Relays this coming weekend. Think about this. It's about 20 y J from now.

Seem like a far fetched dream yaj Well it probably is, but still it could han. pen. Something has to happen first how", ever, the team has to move up to division 1-A. Right now there is a debate going oa as to whether or not the Appalachian football team should stay where it is at division 1-AA or move up to the I-A leveL Chancellor Borkowski met with a gt0U| of alumni called the Mountaineer Faithful over the weekend to discuss the issue. This group is in favor of the team moving up to the I-A level. However, the faculty senate recently voted down a resolution to increase spending on the athletic program and allow the football team to move up to I-A. There are two requirements that school needs to meet to become a 1-A pros gram. The stadium must seat at le 30,000 people and the team must have a average paid home attendance of $18,Of* for at least four years in a row. Right now ASU meets neither of thes requirements, although Kidd Brewer Sta­ dium could probably hold about 25,000 i you count the grass seating behind th< north end zone. The NCAA does not com grass seating because it is difficult to de termine how man could sit there a in bad weather it not alway useable. To make thi move up, school would hat to build perma nent seating that end zone ASU would the have to meet the second require ment of averagi $18,000 in paid tendance over Co years.

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

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

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

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

Voting, not whining, the key John Lane Managing Editor "We've been working on this an awful long time," said Jason Yepko, and Fernando Little responded with, "We are passionate about our campaign." With these broad state­ ments, which allowed no insight into why either ticket should be elected over the other, the second SGA spon­ sored campaign event began. Event is the word I use because "debate" is something that was not present. Conversation is a better word than event. The two tickets built off each others ideas to come up with a wonderful collection of ideas for our campus, but once again, neither ticket distinguished themselves as superior. Neither even tried! The only semblance of true campaigning occurred late in the fourth round of the four round debate when an ob­ servant student (not the opposing ticket) attacked Yepko's dismissal from his post on the Academic Policy and Proce­ dures Committee of Student Senate for not fulfilling his duties. He apparently was not putting in enough time. "How can you handle the responsibilities of SGA VicePresident if you cannot find the time to fulfill a committee member's duties?" she asked. Now that is what campaigns are about. Due to the absence of more comments, attacks and debate such as this, I will do my best to fill in the gaps. Granted, readers of my columns will remember that I chas­ tised people for eating up mudslinging in politics last se­ mester (I said mudslinging is like car accidents. Everyone thinks it is horrible, but slows down to look). But now I feel it is my duty to provide everyone with the recom­ mended daily allowance of mud that has been missing from this campaign. Let's jump right in, and remember it's all in fun. The debate Monday night took place between the ambulance-chasing law firm of Cranford and Yepko and the comedy team of Laurel and Hardy. The first thing I noticed was that neither ticket cared for the audience mem­ bers. This was easily noticeable because obviously, none of the four involved went out to the gallery to sit in the posi­ tion of the audience to make sure it would be comfortable to them. As a result, there was not enough leg room and my feet fell asleep... which, still, is better than the debate which never woke up! The catch word of the conversation was various forms of the word "excite." Both tickets wanted "more excite­ ment among the senators" and Little and Hardy knew "our excitement is contagious" which was sure to take care of that concern. At the same time, Cranford and Yepko felt their big­ gest challenge if elected would be "to keep the senators excited... fired up." They did tread a little water, though, word no less than 30 times. That worked out to h* abnoj twice per question posed. Cranford and Yepko, not wanting to be left k lthe committed index, kind of like the exciteme • 01 quickly picked up on this word when they stated th ^ platform was different because they were com ^ action.

Doe? that me they have more to offer, or that Little and Hardy are mo efficient? The most important points we learned are thj Cranford and Yepko did not support students "with gloclq uzi's or attack dogs," which I think loses for them a grej deal of the voting population, and Little and Hardy wet the SGA "outsiders" which is a label I've heard somewhet before. It didn't work for Lamar or Forbes, Keyes or Taj lor, or Perot for that matter... is that really a band wagon jump onto? Overall, the supposed debate turned into a wonderfi conversation. With all the idea sharing and approval t one another's platforms, I think that whoever wins will d well, and the other two will be the chief advisors of the term.

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

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

(Photo by Ryan Price) Ryan Price PriCG Reporter Ahhh, the Ides of March! Warm weather, blue skies, green trees. It's easy to tell when spring is upon us at Appalachian. The last foot of snow finally melts and every basketball fan at school is glued to their television. It is the rebirth of nature at its finest. Many students wait all season for the NCAA tournament to begin in the second week of March. Sixty-four games, 32 teams, big schools Versus little schools, David versus Goliath, all of this plays a part in the attrac­ tion of the tournament. There are teams that could probably be in the NBA (see UCLA) play- ing against teams trying their hardest to get their size 14s into that glass slipper (see Princeton). Students watch the games in various set­ tings. Some students watch the games in their apartment or dorm room, order a pizza, get some beer, and relax. "This past weekend I just sat around and watched the games with some friends and took my mind off of school," says junior R. Dale Ellis of Wilkesboro. "As soon as I come in from class, the TV comes on so I can check the scores." Ellis follows the tournament from begin­ ning to end, and woe the day when it ends. "It brings a tear to my eye," he says. Students do not let small obstacles such as a job or the lack of a television stand in their way of following the games. "I was at work and we have a television, but the cable went out," says sophomore Vaki Karampourniotis, "so I called my friends every five minutes to get the scores." Organizations such as fraternities usually get together to watch the tournament together. Pi Kappa Alpha president Rob W. Knowles from Greensboro says for the Final Four his brothers plan on getting together to watch the games on one of the three large TVs at their house. "During the tournament, if it's an ACC team, we all usually go to somebody's apart­ ment to watch," says Knowles. "But for the championship this year, we're going to have a cookout during the game." Even some of the faculty start to feel lightheaded and succumb to the "madness." Jean Dehart, a communications professor, lets her class watch part of the games to study com­ munication skills, such as non-verbal body lan­ guage by the coaches and effect displays. Karampourniotis says that he hasn't missed viewing many games because he's been fortunate to watch in class. How do students feel about having a game on in class when they could be getting lectured to? "It's mixed. Some people don't want to even hear about (basketball) and some want it on," says Dehart. With the Sweet 16 starting Monday, and the tournament lasting another week and a half, it is certain that a good number of TV's o n e a m p u sw i l l - b e t w r r e d y i curious about what all the fuss is about, watch a game or two with some friends who follow basketball.

The pamphlet describes in detail th rights and duties of both the tenant and th' P landlord. According to the pamphlet, land lords cannot discriminate against a tenant a perspective tenant on the basis of race col°' religion, sex, country of birth or handicap! Also, landlords cannot refuse to rent t0 people with children. Renters cannot be penalized for ordinary wear and tear on rental property.

The landlord cannot even come into an apartment to inspect un­ less it is part of the rental agreement. It is important to know the contents ol the lease. Renters need to beware of the du­ ties they are bound to in the lease. How long is the lease? Does the landlord have the right to lease the property? What are the pay ments? Are pets allowed? Is subletting al­ lowed? Is snow removal and trash collection included in the lease? "You need to know what the terms of the lease are. Most students don't read their leases before they sign them," says di Santi. According to Paul Gates, a law and eth­ ics professor in the communication depart­ ment, it is important for students to realize that if their name is on the lease, and they decide to get a roommate and that roommate leaves, then they are responsible for the en­ tire rent. If, on the other hand both names are on the lease, then each student has some protection should one decide to leave. Another area renters should be aware of is subletting.

If you're lucky he or she will laugh and take you up on the offer." What's lite worst that can happen? Kevin A. Freeman, a freshman from Hickory says, "an occasional smack in the face or a glass of water. Some girls reallyjust don't know how to take a compliment." Jose A. Hermida, a freshman from Ashville says, "I used to keep a little black book with the good pick-up lines in the front, and the others in the back." One par­ ticular pick-up line that has worked well for Hermida is "Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?" Hermida says, "for some reason whenever I have used that line, girls just smile, laugh, and usually go out with me." Unfortunately, the occasional pick-up line can be insulting. Beverly L. Mcbowen, a freshman from Hillsborough says, "Some guys are just total sleaze buckets. You would think they could come up with something bet­ ter than what's in their pants." Mcbowen likes for guys to be original. She feels the line, "What's your sign?" is just a little worn out. Some guys feel that pick-up lines are j just a way of letting girls know they are in­ terested in them. Freshman Michael S. Rankine from Ashville says, "The best way to ap­ proach a girl is to be sincere, it's what worked for me." When Rankine asked his girlfriend out he asked her, "What would you say if I asked you out?" Though bars seem to be the most appro­ priate places to experiment with pick-up lines, some students find the most unusual places to be worthwhile. Suzanne E. Mears, a freshman from Southern Pines says, "I really love pick-up lines. They can be really amusing some­ times." Mears says her favorite pick-up line was when she was standing in line for a movie. "This really cute guy tapped me on my shoulder and when I turned around he asked me for a quarter, because his mom told him to call her if he met the girl of his dreams." It isn't often that you find many girls us­ ing pick-up lines. Holly S. Liner, a freshman from Hillsborough says, "1 have never used a pick-up line before, but if I ever do, my fa­ vorite one is *You must have washed those pants in windex because I can see myself in them.'" Sometimes there are benfits from smok­ ing cigarettes. Godfrey and Mcbowen both agree that it's really easy to ask a guy for a lighter, and you never can tell what will hap­ pen after he gives it to you. Most guys don't purposely use offensive pick-up lines, but some guys can't help it. David Kaminsky, a freshman from Charlotte says, "Personally, my pick-up lines are either really cute or really insulting. The one girls seem to like the most is, '"Do you like the Power Rangers?' Although sometimes I can't resist asking Would you like to see something swell?'" John Starling Staff Writer It's always a plus when a movie is set in a town with a fertile music scene. Not only does it provide an interesting backdrop for the story, but an instant soundtrack. Many times this backfires and the movie is obscured by its supporting music. Remember Singles? One can only speculate if this will hap­ pen to the new independent film, Immortal, which plays at the Pub on March 28. The movie is the story of a (surprise!) vampire who happens to be a guitarist in the Chapel Hill music scene. A plethora of Chapel Hill's finest indie rockers have contributed to the soundtrack. The soundtrack starts off with a live track by Squirrel Nut Zippers, "Danny Diamond." The lounge-like feel of this tune fits well into the moody atmosphere of a vampire flick and is a standout on the album. Reverb-A-Ray has two cuts on the soundtrack in a distinct indie-pop vein. All vampire jokes aside, the first, "Don't Ask," is a bouncy, radio-friendly number that charms the listener instantly. The second, "Valentine," is a little more moody and soulful. The band's former leader, Jim Smith, will be performing following the presentation of the film at the Pub. If his own material is as poppy as these numbers, he'll be worth catching page I Hill One of the wonderful things about '5 | soundtrack is the fact that it doesn't stay st | on win, oij it. wi inujiv..

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

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

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

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

The grant came from an instru­ ment and Laboratory Improvement Program and will be used to help fi­ nance a broad band Fourier Trans­ form-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer (FT-NMR) that allows students to identify chemical com­ pounds and to follow their reactions. The instrument should be ready for use this fall. Special to The Appalachian Friends and family are im­ portant factors in identifying and treat­ ing eating disorders, according to Kit Olson, program coordinator for Appalachian's Wellness and Stress Management Center. "Most people with eating dis­ orders tend to want to hide it and keep it secret because they are embar­ rassed," Olson said. "They won't seek help on their own, and it's important for friends, family or boyfriends and girlfriends to know how to identify an eating disorder so they can encourage the person to seek help." Eating disorders, which kill an estimated 1,000 women a year, are generally defined as illnesses associ­ ated with severe body image distor­ tion and an obsession with weight. People who contend with this condi­ tion are terrified of gaining weight and continue to diet or binge and purge as their mental and physical health de­ cline. A recent study by the "Ameri­ can Journal of Psychiatry" found that one in ten college women has an eat­ ing disorder. Eating disorders gener­ ally begin in adolescence and can greatly affect college age women whose bodies are still growing. They feel like they should be able to keep the body they had when they were in high school, according to Olson. "It's a fight against nature because women develop an extra layer of fat for child bearing, and bones be­ come more dense as you grow older. That's good because you want dense bones to fight osteoarthritis," Olson said. "Unfortunately, women with eat­ ing disorders aren't focusing on this. Their thought processes are very irra­ tional." One of the most important things family members can do to help women avoid eating disorders is place value on their accomplishments and abilities when they were growing up, she said. "So much of the praise that girls receive is based on their looks, as opposed to boys and their capabilities. As girls grow up if they get nothing but praise for their appearance, they will feel all their worth rests in their looks," Olson said. Eating disorders fall into three categories: anorexia nervosa, where sufferers literally starve them­ selves by restricting their caloric in­ take; bulimia nervosa, characterized by binge periods when the sufferer eats large amounts of food and then purges by vomiting, taking laxatives or exercising for hours; and binge eat­ ing disorder, which is similar to bulimia but without the purging. Friends and family who sus­ pect someone has an eating disorder can look for warning signs for these conditions, which include significant weight loss, compulsive exercising, a preoccupation with body weight, de­ pression, a preoccupation with food and calories, and attributing weight gain or loss to social and professional successes and failures, among others. Olson said it is ^ tant to remember that men c from eating disorders, althnnV' are generally not represented^ m mg disorder statistics. "It's so vital to ed friends and family members W people with eating disorders feC and it's a difficult condition , with," she said. "You have t very hard to help the person extremely sympathetic. Ifs Ve lar to our to our mental emotW cause eating disorders can com if you don't learn to deal with I Dr. Don Sanz, directr Appalachian's Counseling and logical Center, said the center* with a significant number of stu who struggle with eating disoC "We also get a lot of from friends, boyfriends and friends who need some kind of sultation on how to help pe0pie this problem,"he said. "It can bet on them, but we encourage the make contact with us. We're h help." J Pool continued from pagB The swimming pool, which is located in Broome-Kirk Gymnasium, is slated to be reopened this Thursday. The pool wa built 41 years and was leaking 3 to 5 inches a day. It was closed in December '95. The maintenance crew isi the process of fixing the leak. It would cost the university about $4 million to build a new one. Until the universit decides otherwise the Broome-Kirk pool will still operate at Appalachian. (Photo b\ Dana Gardner) Cut Fat Not Calories A 10-week weight loss study conducted in January at Appalachian State University shows that people lose more weight eating a low fat diet than by reducing only their caloric intake. Appalachian researcher Dr. Denise Martz and her colleagues ran­ domly divided 75 university faculty and staff concerned with holiday weight gain into low fat and low calo­ rie groups. Each week participants weighed in and kept a one-day food log. By the end of 10 weeks, low fat dieters had lost an average two more pounds than the low calorie dieters. The research team com­ prised Martz, assistant professor of psychology; Susan Perry, MSN, health promotion coordinator; and students Allyson Andrews, Pamela Yarrington, Jennifer Ackerman, and Patricia Croom. For more information on the study, call Dr. Martz at (704) 2622272 or the health promotion office at (704) 262-6314. What? liavn'L found a place to live next year? Need a way to save $50?

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

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

Angela Brady Editor-in-Chief John lane Managing Editor Deanna Hall Business Manager Renee Cagle News Editor Vanessa Urruela Editorials Editor Renee Cagle News Editor When most people hear the word hazing they will most likely only think of social fraternities and sororities. But this is not always the case, especially on the campus of Appalachian. What hazing boils down to is the humiliation of a po­ tential member of a club or organization. So, it is not about social organizations anymore. For example, Appalachian's very own marching band violates the university's policy every fall semester. When the school year begins and the band prepares for the new season, the old members require new members, usually freshmen, to wear duck bills and quack like ducks while marching in a straight line on their way to practice. This practice is directly addressed in a memo from Dino DiBernardi, director of the Center of Student Involve­ ment and Leadership. DiBernardi writes, "Activities such as, but not limited to, walking in line, quacking like ducks, wearing conspicuous apparel, etc. is in violation of the hazing policy and is not permitted." When one witnesses the "quack like a duck and you too can be in the band" fiasco, a person cannot help but feel that the members who delight in embarrassing new band members should be the ones ashamed. The new band members should refuse to obey this stupid and ridiculous practice. A school's band, especially at college, should be a little more mature. When I see the new members quack­ ing like ducks I lose all respect for Appalachian's marching Generation g a p only in t h e mind Clay Barbour Features Editor Oavid Willis Sports Editor Richard Smith Mike Daniels Asst Features Editor Asst Sports Editor David Wainer Chief Copy Editor Editorial Department 262-6233 or 262-3104 Advertising Department 262-2157 Production Department 262-6256 rying signature books.

John Nolte 'AOIac pO\rvF 7 Columnist One of my classes had a very good discussion about this generation's fear of not being as prosperous as their parents. This helped me understand the myth young people have about inheriting a burdensome "mess" made by past generations. Not only is this unfair to our parents, but it's creating a lot of unnecessary anxiety about the future and wasted activism. All this candleburning for justice, marching against the ever abstract "hate" and throwing of slumber parties in the safety of Sanford Mall with catered bagels and hot chocolate to feel the pain of the homeless is really the productive equivalent of pagan sacrifices exposing a generation in search of a cause. A search that necessitates making things sound worse than they really are, thus fueling a pessimism that just isn't war­ ranted. Today we live in a world that is more peaceful, prosperous, cleaner and safer than ever before. It is the sacrifices of our parents and past generations that made this pos­ sible and they deserve our gratitude, not sullen contempt. What a gift a victorious Cold War has given us and our future children. No longer perched on the edge of nuclear holocaust, we are the last generation to suffer the night­ mares brought on by elementary school air raid drills. This is priceless and yet so unap­ preciated. We have access to the best medical care ever and will enjoy longer and healthier lives with less infant mortality. Just remember the so-called health care crisis revolves around insurance, not access, and environmental fear mongering contradicts our steadily increasing life expectancy. Economically things have improved dramatically. According to Robert Samuelson's book The Good Life and Its Discontents, when you compare pay, benefits, and adjust for inflation, wages have increased 15 percent since 1975 and per capita income has risen 49 percent since 1970. If not for the Carter recession these numbers would be even more impressive. Contrary to the handwringers, our job security is improving. The National Bureau of Economic Research has concluded that you had a better chance of losing your job in 1970 than you do today. Karl Zinsmeister reveals in American Enter­ prise that in reaction to our governments increasingly immoral tax burden, since the 1970's, corporations have doubled nontaxable benefits like day care, IRA's, health and life insurance. Worried about buying a home? In a recent issue of Business Magazine economist W. Michael Cox reports that the number of current homeowners under the age of 35 has risen a full third in the last 20 years and the average house today is one third larger than in 1970 and much more likely to contain a dishwasher, color television, and air condi­ tioning. In her column, Mona Charen reports on consumption studies that reveal our dis­ posable income has risen a staggering 45 percent in 25 years and though we're not saving at the rate our parents did we are using that money to improve our standard of living giving us more cars than licensed drivers, VCR's in 85 percent of homes and a color television in every home. The poor are better off than they've ever been. They consume more goods today than the average family did 40 years ago and enjoy en masse: safer homes, better health care, televisions, VCR's, washers, dryers, telephones, and an economy that has kept inflation, interest rates, and unemployment under control for 15 years. We've decreased our smoking and drunk driving. Gas is cheaper today than it» Se when I started driving in 1981. We've had one brief recession since 1982 and while o fPwelfare state and Cold War have created a deficit, as a percentage of GDI? it's still not Oil. high as the deficit created by World War II and the New Deal. ,11SI Now, all this good news is not an excuse to stop making the world a better place. Sot811 things haven't gotten better and though most of the activism I see is productive, let t suggest a focus on areas that will touch each one of us in the future. If you want justice fight to end the economic apartheid that has become urban pub * education, fight to place in the hands of poor parents a voucher that represents the Cons / tutional right to equal opportunity. The measurement of a nation rests in its treatment the less fortunate. Yet, we continue to poison the poor with public education out of feat an abhorrent teachers' union. H Today's violent crime rates insure you or a loved one will be a victim. The trumpet of the recent decrease in crime is just a smoke screen to help us forget how little crime th< Irj was pre-1965.

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

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

Shalonda Enis and Dominique Canty combined for 63 points to lead the Crimson Tide to a 95-66 win in the first round of the Women's NCAA Basketball Tournament. Senior Karolina Karlqvist had 18 for the Mountaineers, who finished what was one of the best seasons in Appalachian State history. Karlqvist hit three straight treys at one point during a brief ASU run in the second half, but Alabama (24-7) already had the game in hand. "It was a great team playing as well as they* ve played all year," said App coach Linda Robinson, noting that even Alabama's coach was surprised by his team's fire. "It's tourna­ ment time, and (Alabama's) kids played up to their capabilities. They were incredible (on that particular night)." Appalachian State stayed close for the opening 10 minutes of the game. During that span, junior Andreia Hinton scored eight of her 10 first-half points, as the Mountaineers trailed Alabama 21-17. But Hinton also had picked up her sec­ ond foul by the 15:00 mark, and finished the game by disqualifying late in the second half after only 20 minutes on the floor. Secondyear center Tiana Tate came off the bench to lead ASU offensively, scoring 20 on 7-of-12 shooting with an effort that came too late. Appalachian's third NCAA appearance in seven seasons was spoiled early, as Enis and Canty outscored the Mountaineers by 10 in the opening half, helping 'Bama to a 55-33 edge at intermission. Canty had 17 of her 31 points during a four-minute, 21-2 run before the half. The Lady Apps' three-point shooting, which usually hovers around 35 percent, didn't pan out on Friday night — as a team ASU missed 17 of 24 treys. Karlqvist's 5-for-9 per­ formance from behind the arc was the lone bright spot. Melissa Davis, third in the nation in three-point percentage, took just two treys and was unable to convert against 'Bama's defense. In handing the Apps some of their own medicine — ASU beat their opponents by a double-digit average all season long — Ala­ bama led by as many as 39 in the second half. Appalachian State climbed to within 26 in the final minutes behind Artosalo's seven secondhalf points as the Tide coasted into the second round. Shannon Spencer, the Southern Conference's steals leader, didn't collect a pick for only the third game of 1995-96. ASU man­ aged just one steal against Alabama. Alabama advanced to the round of 16 Sunday, besting N. C. State 88-66. Reporter The Appalachian State Mountaineer base­ ball team continued to falter this past week, dropping three of their four games. Two of the contests were conference games against Georgia Southern, in which they proceeded to go down twice in as many chances. The Mountaineers, trying to rebound from a 2-5 week last week, took on the UNCAsheville Bulldogs in a double header on March 13. In the opener, things looked all too famil­ iar to the ASU squad as they were pummeled 10-4 in a seven inning contest. As has been the case for many games past, Appalachian had the hits, but not the runs. ASU pounded out 10 hits, with Tommy Skul going 3 for 4 and Kenny Osborne going 2 for 3. But the Moun­ taineers could not hit with runners in scoring position, and it cost them dearly as they were outscored by six runs. The losing pitcher was Garth Armstrong, who went 2.2 innings, giving up four hits, four earned runs, and only striking out two. His relief Phil Falco didn't do any better, giving up Staff Writer Sports Commentary Sports Editor Sports Commentary For you basketball-aholics out there, I am sure you are already aware of Western Carolina's near history making upset of No. 1 seed Purdue and, I am sure, sometime during that game, every one of you wished that it were Appalachian playing instead. The real ques­ tion is, why was it not Appalachian? The Southern Conference has sent at least one representative to the NCAA Tournament every year since 1950. Only one time during Without a doubt, it was the most en­ tertaining fight of Saturday night's pay-per: view slugfest — like a bar brawl scripted by Charles Bukowski himself, in the sec­ ond bout on the Tyson-Bruno undercard ' women boxers Christy Martin and Deirdre Gogarty took turns battering one another1 for six two-minute rounds in Las Vegas. ' But Martin turned it out for the win, finishing the fight with a bib of Gogartyi' blood splattered on the front of her tank ' top. A good thing, too. Stepping between the ropes decked out in so much pink that she might have been naked, Martin better have been able to show skills. ; , Besides the Frank Bruno-Mike Tyson mismatch, the Martin-Gogarty fight was the battle nobody wanted to miss once they' knew of it. The other two pre-main event bouts which sandwiched the women, fea­ turing four homogeneous fighters who might have been pillow-fighting for all the' excitement they roused in viewers, were easy to ignore. Only the dedicated boxing fans watching (all eight of you) could identify any of them, other than junior flyweight'' Michael Carbajal. But is this what it will take to make women's sports popular? Most people won't even watch women's basketball, a variation of what is probably America's most popular sport today. Increased expo­ sure or not, many fans just prefer to pass on UConn versus Stanford, or Tennessee) and Louisiana Tech. Or 1996 NCAA tour­ ney participant Appalachian State. Appalachian's Lady Mountaineers have averaged better than 20 wins over the last three seasons. Despite falling to SEC power Alabama in Tuscaloosa on Friday, coach Linda Robinson's team is probably one of the most successful college programs you never heard of — and most of the High • Country hasn't heard, if the Mountaineers' consistent 400-plus home game attendance is any indication. It's strange that a team which has ven­ tured into the NCAAs three times in this decade, and to the NIT in 1987, does not attract more of a following from its class­ mates and community. The ASU men's edi­ tion regularly draw an amount of fans who were, if not packed to the rafters of Varsity Gym, at least numerous enough to really make their presence felt and heard. Former coach Tom Apke's men may not have ful­ filled expectations in recent seasons, but records aside, the spectators sure kept coming. j Can you imagine Duke's Cameron Crazies — under fire as the regular season ended for supporting their team a little TOO enthusiastically—deserting their Blue Dev­ ils? It hasn't happened lately, even as the Dookies have come off their early-199 high of Final Four after Final Four. Ho#, about a half-filled Smith Center? Boboy Knight coaching his Hoosiers before a crowd of one thousand? ' ,J The spotlight on women's ball has de nitely brightened over the last year or twoThe changes have been subtle, yet Sreat' NCAA women's tourney selection show ESPN was introduced to follow Dick an Digger's blather (ever notice how Dig? I Phelps looks as if he wants to pi® . Vitale?). There were, and will be, mo* games on television. This is also the U year that the women haven't been for to play their Final Four games and ^ tional championship on consecutive ay So far, it's too hard to tell ifthe e ^ attention is the result of better play-°r other way around. What can't be qa» deset«tioned is that these talented women more of an audience, or at least the opP°l j Andreia Hinton takes a shot over an ETSU defender. Hinton, the Lady App's leader was held in check by Alabama Friday night in Tuscaloosa. The Mountaineers lost the first round NCAA game 95-66. fFile photo) six runs on six hits. In the nightcap, the Mountaineers turned around their misfortune and came out with a tight 5-3 win. Brent Payton paced the team, going 3 for 3, with an RBI. This time ASU got the hits when they counted and scored five runs on just five hits, outscoring the Bulldogs by two. The winning pitcher was Jason Crews, who did a decent job, going four innings, giv­ ing up 3 runs on 3 hits, and striking out four. ASU would go into the next series with Geor­ gia Southern with confidence, coming off of a scarce win. In the next series, a Conference 2 - game Garrett visit with Georgia Southern, confidence would not be enough as the Mountaineers dropped both games to the Eagles. On March 16, game one of the series would prove to be a well contested game, with the Ga. Southern Eagles winning 8 to 7. Appala­ chian outhit the Eagles 13-8, but Georgia South­ ern got the hits when it counted, coming back from a 5-0 third inning deficit to score eight runs. The Mountaineer hitting attack was paced by Kenny Osborne, who went 3 for 3, and Brent Payton, Shane Owenby, Chris Rodriguez, and Tim Puscian helped the cause with 2 hits each. Phil Falco was the losing pithcer, and it was his Osborne poor performance that hurt the Mountaineers. Falco came in during the sixth inning, where he failed to record an out while giving up 4 runs on 2 hits and 3 walks. The second game of the series with Geor­ gia Southern looked like the first, with the main point being a loss for ASU. The App offense was rather stagnant, recording just five hits to their usual double digit accumulation, and only 3 runs. The five hits were spread out through the team's lineup, and Chris Rodriguez probably helped the most with 2 RBI. The Eagles, on the other hand, pounded out 10 hits on two Mountaineer pitchers and chalked up six runs, scoring three in the fourth inning. The loser was standout Scott Musgrave, who pitched only 3.2 innings, giving up six hits, five runs, and only striking out two. At the end of this horrendous week, the ASU baseball team's record had dropped to 89 overall, and a dismal 4-7 in the Southern Conference. The Mountaineers hope to try and win some games in the upcoming week when they face Radford on March 21 and engage in a 2 game Southern Conference series with Marshall on March 23-24. ASU will definitely be looking for some big games to try and get themselves back on track. Why not the ASU Mountaineers? David Willis Women athletics deserve recognition Darryi Stevens Mountaineer Baseball struggling Jason Somerville The Appalachian 19 that period has Appalachian been that repre­ sentative. In 1979, Bobby Cremins led the Mountaineers to its only appearance, and even though we lost to LSU 71-57, it was an incred­ ible experience for the team and the univer­ sity. In a state where three of the last five na­ tional championships reside, why can Appa­ lachian not put together a program that can compete near that level? You might say that ASU doesn't have the facilities to attract bet­ ter athletes, Boone is too small-town for the spotlight seeking athletes of today, or that it does not have a winning tradition. Well, ex­ cept for the latter, ASU has everything it needs. Look at Western Carolina in Cullowhee for goodness sakes. What in the heck is in Cullowhee? Appalachian does not have the best facili­ ties, but except for the Lady Apps, they have not proven that they deserve it. The players have talent, but none are of Ail-American sta­ tus. Coach Apke has done a lot for the univer­ sity, but has not produced anything on the court. Maybe it's not the team's fault, maybe it's the athletic department. Maybe the team needs more money. Maybe it needs a new gym. The one thing however you cannot argue is that it needs something. At the beginning of the next basketball season, the freshman class would have been one year old the last time the Mountaineers won a conference title. Think about that. It has been 17 years since ASU won a conference title in basketball. App's women's team fin­ ished 17-0 in the conference, the men's team won just three conference games and one tour­ nament game. East Tennessee State went on a tear from 1989 to 1992, going to the Big Dance four con­ secutive years and proving to be a viable op­ ponent. In '89, the Bucs lost to Oklahoma 7271, in '90 they lost to Georgia Tech 99-83, in '91 they fell to Iowa 76-73, and in '92 they defeated Arizona 87-80, before losing a tough match to Michigan 102-90.

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

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

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

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

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

The program is an attempt to make a from participation by the individual toi group involvement such as clubs, resi1 khalls, and other groups of people. ACT this will add strength to the program and ;e more participation., said Peggy ".ACT project director. ACT is an organization that has "T worked with training individuals to 'With people such as the elderly and those AIDS. Into the Streets represents a change in direction for ACT because they now want to target groups to help out with these people in need. Setzer said it is easier for students to get involved if they can participate with their friends instead of on an individual basis. Right now ACT is in the process of recruiting clubs and other organizations to adopt about 40 group service projects. These projects include Habitat for Humanity, OASIS, Boone Town Cleanup, and Amnesty In­ ternational. Setzer has been involved in search­ ing the community for places that have a need, while Appalachian students E. Brian Johnson and Amy E. Cook are trying to recruit clubs and organizations for the program. "There has been a lot of talk about diversity on campus lately," said Cook. "There is a common ground I think we need to find, and volunteerism is a good way to find it." Setzer said during Hunger and Homelessness Awareness week we see a strong network of clubs and organizations coming together to seek the needs of the community. "We are hoping for a core group of people to maintain momentum with our Into the Streets program as well," said Setzer. "It's a great source for clubs and organizations." She also said organizations such as the Hunger Coalition need more volunteers and involvement. According to Setzer, 400 plus people in Boone needed food in January. Last spring was the most recent canned food drive the Coalition has had. They have been buy­ ing food since then because they have not re­ ceived any donations. As well as being a great help to the the community, ACT also hopes Into the Streets will bring the university and its students closer to the community. "Into the Streets will have a huge campus-wide effect that win be a good way to mend the rift between the comunity and the university," said Cook. Fire victim identified Angela Brady Editor-in-Chief Forensic pathologist Dr. Gregory J. Davis of Bowman Gray Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem, confirmed Monday afternoon that the body found in Saturday's Summit Woods apartment fire belonged to Jeremy Dale Fisher, Jr., a graduate of Appalachian State University. Fisher, 22, who graduated in Decem­ ber, died of a combination of smoke and soot inhalation. "The carbon monoxide level in his blood was so high as a result of the smoke and soot inhalation, that Jeremy would have been unconscious long before the heat and flames got to him," said Davis. "I can tell you in good faith, it's my scientific opinion that he did not suffer." Fisher was the son of M. L. "Bud" Fisher, minister of the Baptist Student Union on campus. Visitation for family and friends was held Monday night from 7 until 8 at the Aus­ tin Barns Funeral Home, and a memorial ser­ vice was conducted Tliesday at 11 a.m. at First Baptist Church in Boone. According to Boone Fire Chief Reginald Hassler, no determination has been made on the cause of the fire. "Arson and acts of nature have been ruled out," said Hassler. Hassler did say, however, that the fire began in apartment A-3. Fisher lived in apartment A-6. The Boone Fire Department, County Fire Marshall and State Bureau of Investiga­ tion are still investigating, and hope to be able to release more information soon. rganizations get a reminder on hazing ing conspicuous clothing or having them re­ cite history and address members in a certain way is considered in violation of the hazing policy.

At one time forcing aspiring members of an organi­ zation to do such things as wear beanies and "Such activities may include, but are carry paddles was acceptable, whereas now it not limited to the following: use of alcohol; is not," said DiBernardi.

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

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

I also hear people saying, "Oh I can't get a burger from McDonalds; I don't have any money." People say this when in fact they do have money. This may seem confus­ ing but I think I have the answer. The American dream is to start poor, work hard and end up at the top. It is acceptable to say, "I don't have any money" because it is the opposite of bragging about all of the money you do have. And it is common knowledge that you cannot work your way up to the top if you are already there. It is acceptable though to have costly possessions. Anyone can say, "I can't go out because I have no money," 0 Sometimes I wonder how much students who do not participate in the world of collegiate athletics understand what it means to be a student athlete. More often then not I think we don't. I am not involved in any varsity sports, so I count myself with the ignorant. I have, however, had the plea­ sure of being friends with some collegiate atheletes. I know that those of us not involved tend to have a few precon­ ceived ideas about student athletes which are a little ri­ diculous. It seems that student athletes are becoming more and more associated with sexual crimes. Unfortunately, this is not completely unfounded. Perhaps more are involved than used to be, but I am certain that student athletes are not solely responsible for college crimes. Many people be­ lieve that student athletes are pushed so hard to be ag­ gressive that they become similar to the mythical Vikings: raping, pillaging and fighting whenever possible. This is a harsh representation but not too harsh for some folks to believe. I wonder if Aldwin Lance would have received so much attention had he not been a football player, regardless of whether he was guilty or not. Students have been found guilty of assault and have been given less attention then Aldwin. Even if he had played tennis or some other less violent sport, I feel his story may have been handled dif­ ferently than a non-athelete's. When we think about football players we often think mostly of barbarians or large, thick-necked ogres. I am sure one could find a few football players that fit this de­ scription and a few tennis players, flute players, etc. I'm not quite ready to assume this about all athletes, however. From what I have seen and know of student athletes, it is often a very different experience. Some stay so busy with their particular sport that many of their friends are also athletes from the same sport. Perhaps this lends itself to some of our more ridiculous stereotypes. People are more likely to think bad things about people they are not familiar with. The pressure on student athletes can be significant, especially with the sports that get more attention. The collective desire of the student body for the football team not to lose can be fairly immense. The college experience for a student athlete, while not exactly another world, is certainly a different experi­ ence. There is a level of commitment, a drive and a re­ sponsibility that is at least somewhat unique to being a student athlete. This is not to say that all student athletes work harder, but I understand that it is a lot of work. Student athletes also have the burden of being judged as a group, with both positive and negative stereotypes. While they may be focused on in a grossly unappropriate fashion, we must remember that student athletes are stu­ dents like ourselves. Some may be violent ogres, but most of the varsity competitors I have met are friendly and hard­ working, and have at no point tried to burn my village and steal my goods. run by money itS late Hill Tim Nicholson Columnist I have discovered that the election gangs (lobbyist! the states, the electoral college, the political parties, di media experts, etc.) control the information we get aboi Presidential candidates.

If that weren't the case, then women wouldn't be allowed in the military at all. I disagree with Mr. Mackay and a number of the con­ servatives in Congress because they seem to take a very narrow view of who is infected with HIV and how they were infected. This posture, which claims that only gay men and i.v. drug users get AIDS, shows a startling igno­ rance about the HIV epidemic. The fastest growing popu­ lation of HIV-infected individuals is now heterosexual women in monogamous relationships at the time they con­ tracted the virus. That means they weren't "screwing around" or "sticking dirty needles in their arms." Mr. Mackay"s ignorance about the facts is highlighted in his own article because he repeatedly states, "...people infected with HIV or the AIDS virus..." HIV is the AIDS virus! Take Ms. Urruela's advice and educate yourself about HIV and AIDS. Ignorance like Mr. Mackay's only perpetu­ ates the spread of this disease because it makes us believe we are immune.

The article has a long list of distortions and jormation, but two examples stick out especially in ^first is the entire premise of Nolte's article. He am advocating that we end the reasons black :CfflS find this separate identity necessary. We have j [o immerse dozens of cultures in our melting pot dding together and creating an identity all are comjlewith." Nolte overlooks the fact that if everyone -comfortable" with American culture, there would •obe little evidence of any oihct culture, not just American. The very fact that African Americans have developed such a diverse culture is a testament to how much people are not comfortable with "American so­ ciety." I would argue that John Nolte, by advocating the "end of a separate black identity," is discouraging and ren­ dering useless any liberatory or democratizing activism. The second problem I have with the article is due to his total lack of historical understanding. Nolte suggests that African-Americans were finally allowed to sit anywhere on the bus because, "they (the people of the South) recog­ nized the injustice." He goes on to suggest that other re­ form came about because Northerners "recognized the ef­ fects of their apathy." The very notion that there was a mass, nationwide epiphany that made the injustices of the past intolerable is ludicrous. The examples Nolte attempts to illustrate only came about because laws were passed and people chose to fight for equality. Why do you think million. If even the money for one deck were spent for better mass transit and bike and pedestrian systems, we would have adequate transportation for everyone, exercise would make folks healthier, we would have less traffic conges­ tion and air pollution, and more students would want to come here because of the calmer atmosphere. The com­ munity, including students, has already expressed strong support for alternative modes of transportation. And, just as we are poised to receive approval of the first bike-pe­ destrian ways that will connect campus to apartment com­ plexes, why would we want to lock into the expensive park­ ing deck soution and encourage the opposite trends?

Why did it take 40 years for Asian-Americans who were imprisoned during World War II to receive an apology? People never stopped fight­ ing for it. Change occurs because people refuse to sit around and, as Nolte puts it, "revel in their similarities." John Nolte tells us to "not celebrate our differences," but I think most readers can see what he really wants. By advo­ cating inaction and complacency he is fighting tooth and nail to maintain a status quo that is, after all, rooted in his white culture and domination. Nolte's melting pot is sim­ ply a can of white paint.

People still go to school there. What's wrong with the parking deck idea is that they are expensive and encourage traffic jams and pollution. Chapel Hill has a series of outlying parking lots about two miles from campus and excellent mass transit, bike lanes and walking paths for movement from these lots and within the two-mile radius of the university. As for the expense, each parking spot in a parking deck will cost $8,000 to $9,000. The lower figure is with­ out security cameras that prevent rapes, assaults, robber­ ies and other typical parking deck crimes, the higher fig­ ure includes the security systems. Appalachian is talking about 500 spaces in the first of the three decks. That's $4 million without security systems and $4.5 million with them. If all three are built the cost will be at least $12 To the Editor: This letter is in response to the column by Kent Wag­ oner on treatment received by the infirmary. It appears that some Appalachian writers are inserious need of writ­ ing materials or least a better focus on the issues they present Mr. Wagoner's column on the "Slack Infirmary Sick­ ness" is just that, sick. How does he or anyone else ex­ pect to receive any better care from a department so un­ der-funded? The infirmary makes exceptional use of the facilities and resources they have. Mr.Wagoner is correct in pointing out that the infir­ mary is almost always overcrowded. One can expect to wait for an hour or more sometimes before seeing a doc­ tor or nurse. That is not the fault of the staff, but of the university in not providing adequate facilities to cover these needs. There are also procedures that must be followed by the infirmary. Scheduled appointments are taken but the majority of people arrive on a walk-in basis. This can cause a massive increase in the amount of waiting time. The nurses cannot put you anywhere because there is nowhere else to wait. I have had to sit on the floor in the hall before waiting to be seen. The most ignorant statement Mr.Wagoner makes is that of a "..flippant attitude and method of dealing with the students in an almost assembly line manner." When first arriving you will see a nurse Mr. Wagoner, not a doc­ tor! It is not the nurse's responsibility to give you a diag­ nosis on the spot. As to what the doctors do in their offices that take up so much time, how about the multi­ tude of students they see a day? Mr. Wagoner finally states that the accuracy of the infirmary's diagnoses have been for the most part cor­ rect. Is that not what matters? Who has ever been to any doctor's office and been seen on time anyway? We should not attempt to blame a dedicated staff for not having adequate resources to deal with the overwhelm­ ing job they have. I have no affiliation with the infirmary other than being treated there myself. Maybe one day people will realize that you only get what you pay for and we cer­ tainly are not footing an adequate bill.

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

With a reading, you're trying to bring the work to an audience in person and feel their re­ sponse to it. What happened today (a class­ room question and answer session in Sanford Hall with students who have read the book) was a wonderful kind of situation where people have actually read the book and talked about it. But at a bookstore, it's kind of an odd thing. You go there and do a reading with the idea of selling books. But this (the classroom) is the best part of it - talking to an audience that has thought about the work and cares about it.

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

This group will provide the opportunity for self-explora­ tion and experimentation with new ways of being. Direct, honest communi­ cation and feedback will be encouraged to promote self awareness and choicefulness in member's interpersonal styles. An interview with the group leader is essential; the group will be limited to 12 people.

Those struggling with personal issues such as depression, anxiety, personal alienation, etc., as well as those committed to personal growth are appropri­ ate for the group. A willingness and motivation to explore themselves and their styles of interacting with others is the primary prerequisite for a rewarding experience for group participants. Anyone interested, please feel free to call Tom at the Counseling and Psychological Services Center, 262-3180, for more information. Tom will meet with all potential members for an individual interview to ensure an understanding of the nature of the group and a good fit with participants' expectations prior to a final decision about joining the group.

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

(Photo by Angela Brady) brum discusses transportation issues m fc on Pennell sistant News Editor I The issues at the parking and trans­ ition forum Feb. 26 centered on reasons Sliding a deck and the advantages and Vantages of it. Also discussed was the d10 make alternative transportation more II incentive to students and people in the (taiity. The forum panel included Dr. A1 V ! 1 program director of systems and speprojects at Appalachian; Dr. Clyde D. 'ins, physical plant administrator; Dr. M G. Ayers, professor of anthropology; J Nly Trnavsky ; Megan E. McCaskill, SGA ' ,or and Brett W. Walters, SGA senator. "1 vv, ildn't attempt to tell you park^t a problem," said Rapp. He feels two need to be incorporated at Appalachian: availability of spaces and reeducate Pwple who are parking. Convenience was another issue men^ Rapp said students have to accept the J**can walk five to 10 minutes just as 1 2 a s walking 30 seconds to get to a desig® point. ^ According to Robbins, campus ktiiis one reason parking is such a probjJn(' decks are being considered. He said R'aces have been lost to construction in ^ 1 four years and 150 to 200 are expected ost in the future due to more construeD academic buildings. Rapp said Appalachian has used up all it's peripheal space for parking like at South lot, the old Winn-Dixie, and State Farm. "There aren't a lot of parking opportunities in Boone," he said. Students and panel members gave reasons why they thought a deck should not be built. "With enrollment increasing, cars are going to increase," said Walters. But he said congestion is the real problem in Boone and traffic will only increase with a deck. Another issue Walters brought up in­ volving the deck is the cost it would require students and faculty to pay for parking. Fac­ ulty could be paying up to $175 a year and students could be paying up to $225. In their transportation report, Hayes, Seay, Mattern & Mattern, Inc., recommended parking areas on campus be divided into high demand and low demand areas. These high demand areas would be divided into three packages: one for Monday, Wednesday, Friday one for Tues­ day, Thursday, and one for Monday through Friday. "It's not a viable option," said Walters. "It's too much to ask." Ayers said students need to have more incentive to use other forms of transpor­ tation. Boone has no transit system to places like Winston-Salem, Asheville, and Charlotte. "There is no demand for it," Ayers said. He said so many students have cars in Boone any­ way, they should not have to ask for anything more. Rapp said transportation is a very complex issue. "We ( the county and ASU) have to work together," he said. He said rea­ sonable alternatives need to be provided. "There is no perfect solution." Robbins said Americans have a love affair with their automobiles. He said he is not a strong advocate for decks, but feels they would be a service. One way suggested to add incentive to students to use alternative modes include improving the AppalCART. Many students felt the routes should run every 30 minutes and have more direct routes. One student who lives at App Heights said she uses the AppalCART during the day, but as soon as she can drive her car on cam­ pus, she does. She said it is more convenient and much safer than waiting in the shelters hoping the AppalCART is on time. The alternative of riding bikes was also discussed and how this alternative could be utilized more. Many of the students were concerned about the safety of riding bikes in Boone Decause several of them have been hit. Bike riders have also had problems on Rivers Street with the bike lane being full of garbage and gravel, or cars being parked in that area. "It's going to take a lot of time and effort to find a balance that works," said Rapp. Robbins said we need to preserve our options with parking whether they be peripheal or central to campus. "Automobiles are the forseeable way of the future," he said. "The automobile is one of the alternatives and you have to look at the total population." Ayers said Appalachian has an idea to be supply and demand oriented instead of conservation oriented. He said there will not be a demand for conservation as long as Ap­ palachian continues to operate in its present mode. Hcohol related events allowed at The Horn •. Horn in the West will be able to host "ol related events, such as Thaw Out, dur1( one-' M /6ar tr'3' Per'°H- The Boone Town Sai (a °Pted the recommendations of the as force set up by the council at the meeting. nance concerning Horn in the West. The task force recommended that no alcohol sales be allowed on sight and there be a six-pack limit at all events. The committee also suggested concerts not begin before noon and end at 6:30 p.m. Another suggestion made by the task force was that there be no reentry at con­ cert events at the Horn. The fourth recommendation cen­ tered on event management at the Horn. First the organization planning the event must sub­ mit an event management plan to the Boone Alcohol Law Enforcement (ALE) officer. The fifth recommendation from the task force was to draft the above amendments into the rental agreement with Horn in the West. The last suggestion presented to the Town Council was that the recommendations be accepted as Boone's alcohol policy at the Horn in the West for a one year period The Town Council adopted the rec­ ommendations of the task force and the coun­ cil will vote to an exception concerning Horn in the West to the standing alcohol ordinance. "The dabate was close, emotional and split pretty even," said Councilman Hunter Schofield. The recommendations were ac­ cepted three to two. "It was definitely chal­ lenging," he said. After the one year trial period ends the Town Council will reexamine the policy and establish a new policy if necessary. At the meeting, Schofield said,"All students need to stand up and take responsibilty for the world around them, and we did, and it is positive." Councilman Jimmy Smith voted for the adoption of the recommendations. "It looked like a reasonalble compromise," he said. "It will make it a more wholesome setting." ASU director of athletics announced last week that the contract of men s basketball coach Tom Apke will not be renewed. Apke has been with the team for ten years and compiled a 139-147 record at Appalachian. Apke's dismissal comes after ASU s 8-20 record this season.

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

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

First we have m ize harm before we can notice who commits it. Who? gemote question deals with voluntary mutual choice of a game type violence, for fun, like boxing or karate, where free choice and lack of argument leave out the need to pass judgment. Violence opposes freedom and choice. Coercion or lack of freedom must accompany power to qualify as violence. Then, if soldiers want to agree to kill each other, fine, but not children. From my point of view, we would do well to avoid all violence, even self-defense. Some people actually seem to enjoy hurting others or watching others get hurt, but 1see that as the a natural mistake. That perspective that vio­ lence is necessary and useful comes from weakness and fear. Naturally we are fascinated by the fact that something can hurt and kill us. It's interesting. We should want to know about it, and it makes sense that it's easier to ob­ serve it happening to others than to us. That's okay, as long as we don't get carried away in our zeal of fascination and hurt someone just to see. We can certainly afford to try an anti-violent approach. What if we make a mistake? Looking at our present vio­ lent society, we have quite a margin of error to play with, so we might as well try. far rant continued from page 4 did he pull over, shove to the ground and at?

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

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

Over spring break at the Greensboro Coliseum, the Lady Mountaineers spun a happier ending to their season, besting Marshall 77-75 to win their first league tournament in five years, Melissa Davis deflected a last second heave by Marshall's Stephanie Wine to pre­ serve the victory, just after junior Andreia Hinton made a layup for Appalachian to give her team a two-point advantage. "We wanted to run a penetration play for Stephanie," said Herd coach Sarah Evans-Moore, "but we had a breakdown on the screen and she took the only shot she could." "(This team) has done sometl .g this year," said coach Linda Robinson after guiding the Apps to her fifth tournament title in 12 years. "These last three wee<u> nave re­ ally been pressurized, and they ha '"v41" ' it beautifully." The Mountaineers' win earned them the no. 13 seed in the NCAA tournament's West Region, where they are slated to play 22-7 Ala­ bama Friday night. In a season that isn't quite finished yet, Appalachian has tied the school record for wins, stepping onto the Crimson Tide's home floor with a 24-5 mark. The Apps' 17-0 conference record (14-0 regular season, three tourney wins) sets a new standard for Southern Conference women's basketball. Andreia Hinton goes up for a shot over a Moccasin defender. Hinton scored 26 points and grabbed 13 boards, including the game winner in the two point victory over Marshall in the SC Championship game. (File photo) ASU Men's hoops end woes Mike Daniels Assistant Sports Editor In case you were looking down the NCAA tournament bracket expecting to see an Appa­ lachian State vs. Kentucky matchup, I'm sorry to say that the Apps didn't make the tourna­ ment. The Apps finished their season last Fri­ day with a loss to Western Carolina in the Southern Conference Tournament at Greens­ boro Coliseum, probably while you were in your car heading home ,or somewhere else, to begin your spring break. Before their second-round exit in the sea­ son finale, the Mountaineers did manage to accomplish something incredible; they won a David Willis Sports tditui Appalachian State's Wrestling squad gained some revenge on a disappointing 2-2 conference record and won the Southern Con­ ference Tournament on March 2 in Greensboro. The Mountaineers were led by conference champions sophomores Tony Hairsfon in the 118 lb. class and Derek Strobel in the 158 lb. class, junior Eddy Clark in the 177 lb. class, and senior Seth Myerson who won the 190 lb. weight class.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

These are exceptions, however, not the rule. We must see through the lazy profiteers who exacerbate and exaggerate our differences and not dwell on some­ thing as insignifigant as the OJ. verdict when we are united in our delight over the demise of Jim Crow. We must build on the fact that regardless of our insig­ nificant cultural and physical differences, we all want the same things: peace, prosperity and to leave behind a bet­ ter place for our children. We must work to stop being hyphenated Americans and revel in our similarities. We must not celebrate our differences, but work to overcome them. And, be assured this day will come, but will be the result of hard work, compassion, and patience, and not because we disguised our surrender in the battle for unity as tolerance.

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

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

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

He is chairperson of the APPS Council for Cultural Awareness and student director of the Black Student As­ sociation gospel choir. Little is also a member of the Black Student Association (BSA) advisory board and is chairperson of the scholarship/education committee on the advisory board. He is a peer mentor for the office of African-American stu­ dent development and a fellow in the W. H. Plemmons leadership program. Little said he wants to continue the trend that has beeen established by the cur­ rent SGA in regards to the student's voice. "I want to ensure the student body will have a voice in campus issues," said Little. Nakia Hardy, the vice-presidential candidate, is a junior from Burlington. She is a secondary education chemistry major with a concentration in physics. Hardy is co-chair of the BSA advisory board. She is also the secretary of the APPS Council for Cultural Awareness and is chair of the programming committee for the council.

Plemmons leadership program. She is also a member of the BSA choir and ot Delta Sigma Theta sorority. Hardy said she feels she has the ex­ perience and leadership abilities to be vicepresident of SGA.

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

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

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

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

A public opinion class con­ ducted the random telephone survey late last year in conjunction with the Mountain AIDS Support Council (MASC). The students asked 206 Wa­ tauga County residents 27 questions about AIDS. Thirty-seven percent said they knew a lot about AIDS and 41 percent said they knew some about AIDS. Forty-four percent said there is not enough AIDS coverage on tele­ vision, radio and newspapers. Most of the local residents polled do not consider AIDS a prob­ lem in Boone. There are 61,000 re­ ported AIDS cases statewide. There are seven AIDS cases in Watauga County, but the Appalachian District Health Department cautions that there could be many more cases that have not been reported. The seven Paperless tax returns reported cases are permanent resi­ dents of Watauga County. MASC is forming The MASC Troupe, a new volunteer group, to visit local schools and civic organizations. MASC holds a volunteer workshop at First Baptist Church ev­ ery Thursday for students wanting to talk about AIDS or help MASC with its fund raising and clerical work. The students also plan for the annual World AIDS Day commemoration and other events. For more information about MASC and its services, call 265-4494.

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

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

Risk should not negate compassion Vanessa Urruela Editorials Editor First there was hoopla about basketball great Magic Johnson, then Olympic diver Greg Louganis, and now the controversy is centered around boxer Tommy Morrison and the estimated 1,049 military personnel known to have HIV or AIDS. Recently, there has been much discussion about whether or not people with HIV or AIDS should be allowed to work in fields like professional sports and the military. People need to realize that the way a person contracts this disease should not determine how they are judged or what they are allowed to do. Does it really make Johnson a better person than Louganis because he got the virus through unprotected, heterosexual promiscuity instead of the same risky behavior through homosexual intercourse? No. The point is that both have a disease and pose ex­ tremely little risk to their teammates. We should be com­ passionate enough to leave moral judgments to whatever higher power one believes in and let these athletes do what they do best in the sports arena. According to a recent National Public Radio(NPR) re­ port, a football player has about a one in 85 million chance of contracting HIV from an HIV- positive teammate or op­ ponent during a normal football game. In boxing, the sport Tommy Morrison has now been banned from, the risk is slightly higher because the athletes aren't as covered up as football players and the direct skin-to-skin contact is greater. The estimated risk of contraction is slightly lower than one in 80 million during an average boxing match. Is it really worth this infinitesimal risk to ban some­ one who loves their work but has a disease from boxing, swimming, or playing basketball? Doing so means we are giving in to unnecessary fear. It is perfecdy natural for any animal to care more about their own individual survival than that of another. How­ ever, humans have evolved to have a highly developed sense of conscience, and I cannot understand how some of us still let fear and ignorance rule this part of our psyche. What people can't see is that contracting HIV from an infected person through casual contact almost never hap­ pens. As of about a week ago, military personnel with AIDS cannot be denied employment due to Clinton's veto of Sena­ tor Dornan's bill. I can't understand why Dornan would truly believe that HIV-positive soldiers should be dis­ charged without the same benefits received by those who have illnesses like cancer. Just like cancer, people with AIDS don't ask to have a fatal disease. In times of combat, couldn't all those HIV-positive sol­ diers work in areas of the military which don't involve them actually fighting? What about intelligence or some kind of communications job? The risk of spreading the disease through this kind of work wouldn't be high enough to worry about. In the NPR report I listened to, a leading AIDS re­ searcher quoted several studies saying the risk of a see Risk page 5 College is more than just academic Erica Everett Columnist I have been struck recently with a feeling of over­ whelming thankfulness for the friends that I have in my life. During some special moments when an inside joke is shared or a new memory is made I am able to realize how important some people in my life are. There is nothing like a long-time friend that knows your past and laughs with you. You remember the good 'ole days when The Dukes of Hazzard came on everyday, when multi-colored plastic bangle bracelets were all the rage, and when members of the opposite sex were just some odd mutation of a human to be avoided at all costs. Those times were easy and fun. They are not to be for gotten. The days that followed may have been the time when lasting friendships formed. It was an awkward stage when guys and girls stood on opposite sides of the gym for school dances, when everyone had braces, girls wore itty-bitty bras and guys had hands and feet that were way too big for their bodies. At a time when pimples replaced pig tails, only true friends would stick by you. True friends stayed up all night playing truth or dare at slumber par­ ties. Those times were for change and growth. During this time, our bodies, our minds and our lives were shaped For most, the days that followed were times for first dates and first kisses. It was a time for teens to join to­ gether in the power struggle against adults. Friends fought together for freedom, later curfews and the right to a see College page 5 Diversity: an insurmountable task Jason Wilkinson Assistant Editorials Editor John Lane Managing Editor "As long as I have a want, I have a reason k 0r living. Satisfaction is death.' —George Bernard Shaw The other day I was driving around on Rivers Street looking for a parking space, occasionally pretending I was Speed Racer and avoiding the larger potholes. There are certainly a ton of issues at this school. The new Search and Seizure Policy, though amazingly effec­ tive in action, still bothers me concerning privacy and the speed at which it was set up. Perhaps a few brave soldiers are trying to protest Wal-Mart, though I suspect it is a lost cause. Construction continues, and traffic is always an issue. Though I believe the best place for a parking deck is another school, there is still the issue of exactly what part of campus we wish to burden with this colossus. I decided I would take it up with one of my underpaid professors, and we had an interesting discussion on the manner. He told me that I need not worry about these things so much, as he was sure Dr. Blimling would handle them. But what about Chancellor Borkowski I ask? The profes­ sor informed me that Dr. Borkowski isn't actually away; just merely pushing for a bigger cause - diversity. I can see how this would be an insanely enormous task. First, we have to decide exactly what diversity means. I suspect it means incorporating a larger group of minority students and ensuring that they are made to feel welcome (which I can hope every university is trying to do). Diversity is a broad enough term to cover almost any difference in people. I suppose I take the strive for diver­ sity somewhat for granted. I assume every university strives for this, and that it is almost universally looked upon as a good thing for a university to be. How long has it been since a state-funded university tried to decrease diversity? The subject is important, but when pushed so far to the forefront, it looks distorted for some reason. Residence life has always been militantly in facor < diversity, which I can understand as important to the stal I have heard Borkowski speak several times, and to m professor's credit, diversity has always been the big top'1 I said diversity looked odd when pushed so close to th see Diversity page �.i-rhi,n 22 February 1996 Page 5 otters to the Editor College j^tax^not the answer L£dit°r: r reading John Nolte's column on the flat tax " Che Ffeb. 13 Appalachian, I almost rolled out of Z ncrhing at the blatant hypocrisy demonstrated jj;laugn s . non informative slam-fest upon liberals.

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

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

I never talked to a student or staff member against it, so people don't need to be convinced of its im­ portance. Residence life pushes for acceptance in the resi­ dence halls, which is important if diversity is somehow going to be increased. But how diverse is Boone? And what can Borkowski change about that? How does one up the diversity? I can understand diversity as important, but the term is some­ thing of an abstract. I have always recognized the inher­ ent safety of the topic, because almost no one is against it, yet if the effort fails then no one gets blamed, because how does one go about doing it, anyway? Perhaps a draft forcing students who are different to attend a university, thereby balancing out the normal ho­ mogenous kids who ruin education, could be enacted. Or, we could start sending flyers out, stating how much we love diverse people. If all else fails, we can do the art institute thing: send out a little pamphlet with a test. People call for a pamphlet, try and draw the little cartoon, and if they turn out to have diverse potential, we would reduce tuition for them or offer free doughnuts or something. Of course, this would mean we couldn't pay for the parking deck. Letters to the Editor run every Thursday, and are received through ASU Box 9025 or via e-mail: WEAPP@conrad.appstate.edu.

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

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

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

Unfourtunately, the Apps were beaten badly in the first half and consequently lost the game 80-66 Monday night. Playing in usual form, the Mountaineers came out playing sloppy early on. The team allowed the Mocs a quick nine-point run while their own offense got warmed up. The Apps found themselves again trying to play catch­ up in the first half, but to no avail. In the second half the Apps started to put the pressure on the visitors. The team had some success in forcing UTC to turn the ball over, which allowed the Mountaineer offense to string together some points. However, the thing that killed almost ev­ ery ASU run was their poor free-throw shoot­ ing. Coach Tom Apke said after the game that this "was probably the deciding factor in the game." The Mountaineers were 10 of 18 (55 percent), from behind the charity stripe in the Kareem Livingston takes the ball to the hoop over a Moccasin defender Monday evening. Livingston finished with 14 in the loss. (Photo by Dana Gardner) Mountaineer second half. The closest the Mountaineers got to the Mocs was nine points down with seven minutes to go. But less than three minutes later, ASU found itself down by 18, a little to far out of reach for the Moun­ taineers offense to overcome so late in the game. Appalachian did do a good job of spreading the offense around. Five Ap­ palachian players scored 10 or more points. Leading the way was sophomore Kareem Livingston who had 14 points along with seven rebounds. The other players to reach double figures in points were senior Brian Hege, junior Junior Braswell, sophomore Tige Darner, and freshman Blair Adderly. The loss drops Appalchian's record to 7-17 overall and 3-9 in the Southern Conference. The 3-9 conference record puts the Apps just one game ahead of 210 Georgia Southern for last place in the conference. Appalachian will play its final home game of the season this Saturday at 1:00 p.m. The Mountaineers last game of the regular season will take place next Mon­ day at Western Carolina. winGrapplers at Davidson David Willis Sports Editor Junior Pedro Lopes, playing the num­ ber one seed, split his first two matches are fell in his only match on Saturday.

The Mountaineers are still working their doubles combinations, trying to the teams with the best chemistry and a for the singles' seeds, everyone is battlii it out for playing time. Commenting on the freshmen on squad, Kemodle said, "The freshmen very strong. Frank Connor is a strong, athletic player, who was ranked as high number eight in Florida. He is a g< player now, but his potential is unta and should be a substantially better by his junior year." "Marcin Zabor is real tough men! He is a fighter and never gives up.

Moore said this year's recruiting class was another of very high quality in terms of cali­ ber of both athlete and student. "We have been so very selective the last two years in particular, due to the fact we have not had very many grants available," said Moore, in his eighth season as head coach. "We are so pleased to welcome these young men into our program, and we know they are go­ ing to have a tremendous impact over the next few seasons." Moore said these incoming players filled immediate needs and most would be ready to step into positions next season. In addition, Moore said he was pleased to have brought in Signee Desmond Adams Matt Alspaugh L.J.

Two batters later, Garrett singled in two more runs, followed by Kenny Osborne's three run shot to right to end the onslaught. The Spartans retaliated with two runs in the bottom of the ninth, but it was too little too late as ASU won 13-3. On the mound for the Apps were starter Scott Musigrave who went five innings, giving up one run on four hits, but walked five. In relief of Musgrave was Norman Vest who fin­ ished the game, allowing two runs on five hits. Offensively for Appalachian, Puscian led the way, hitting 4-5 and Payton and Garrett each went 3-5. ASU ended with 14 hits in the contest, allowing just nine. The Mountaineers start the season off 20 and will next face Davidson in a doubleheader on the road this weekend. Sports Information Pos.
