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

The winter weather, coupled with (instruction of the student support center and k new science building, have left Rivers Street a mess of bumps, potholes and loose pavel. And while students and Boone resi­ sts are screaming for something to be done tot it, the unfortunate truth is not much an be done about it for now. "It's awful," said Martin Cross, a se­ tt from Lake City, Fla. "Since I live off cam­ ps, I have to commute to college every day. SS? <rn•<&;*<a* I have no choice but to drive on Rivers Street. Street, It's such a mess." According to North Carolina Depart­ ment of Transportation crew chief Jerry Combs, Rivers Street has already been tempo­ rarily patched several times with a substance known as "cold patch." Cold patch is a special kind of asphalt specially engineered for cold weather use. Regular asphalt, which must be brought up from Greensboro, needs to remain at tempera­ tures of 400-500 degrees before it can be poured onto the roads. During the winter months, most asphalt plants cease production due to the impossibility of the asphalt to re­ main hot during delivery. According to Combs, cold patch works best when it remains dry. When cold patch gets wet, it crumbles and breaks, cover­ ing the road in loose gravel and reopening old potholes. "It's a tough situation for us to handle," said Combs. We've already coldpatched Rivers Street three times this win­ ter." Adding to the damage is the con­ struction of two new buildings on the west side of campus: the student support center and the science building. "We've received more complaints about the construction than anything else," said Johnny Brown, County Maintenance En­ gineer for the North Carolina Department of Transportation. According to Brown, it is see Potholes page 2 Campaign plans to save Howard's Knob on Howard's Knob. "No single landowner has been opposed to what we want to do," said Foxx.

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

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

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

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

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

Sad, Black History Month not enougl •Race isn't a monthly concept <1 Tony Reese Guest Columnist >< XI tX 1 1/ Every year for the month of February, the "issue" of Black History Month arises. I use the term "issue" because that is how I perceive it. I must say that I honestly was reluctant to write this article, but I feel that this is a topic that needs to be addressed. I feel that we have a "Black History Month" because the race which we now refer to as African- American has had the honor of being blessed with insistent, persistent and powerful brothers such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Huey E Newton and Marcus Gravey just to name a few. Men such as these had the perseverance and determination not to accept what little they were given, but to strive for what they felt their people deserved. A product of that kind of If black history struggle is what we now view as Black History was implemented Month. into the history Beyond a doubt, I ap­ preciate the trials and curriculum of our tribulations my predeces­ sors endured for me but I school systems, am not satisfied and nei­ ther should anyone else there would be no who has an ounce of pride. need for this To this very day I hear non-blacks speaking on charity offering we how we don't need a Black call Black History History Month and I agree. My rationale for Month this is that I am not black for one month a year, but for the rest of my life. If I ever lose sight of that, I am sure I will be reminded. Blacks are as equal a part of this country as those who share this soil with them, and should therefore be treated as such. If black history was implemented into the history curriculum of our school systems, there would be no need for this charity offering we call Black History Month. How­ ever, until this is the case, I will continue to support and celebrate Black History Month. Unfortunately, it is our most powerful weapon at the present to educate non-blacks on who we are and where we come from, but I continue to be dissatisfied. It is a simple equation- Eliminating the igno­ rance equals improving our relations. Most of us have the tendency to think of blacks and whites only when the issue of race arises. We should not forget that there are other races of people who have also struggled for their achievements. These ethnic groups should be recognized as well. However, that is another issue. I have to handle my own struggle before I am able to adequately help someone else with theirs. And, that's all I have to say about that.

It's been hitting me every year strangely at this time. The local station was advertising what it had to offer for "Black History Month." They listed a couple of movies and some forum-type discussion shows. This made me realize, once again the utter stupidity of only recognizing outstanding Africans and AfricanAmericans once a year. What will kids learn about other races in one month? There have been thousands of amazing Africans and African-Americans who have contributed to the United States history and cultures within the country. One of the first periods of literature and musical and artistic explosions I first learned about was the Harlem Renaissance. This period took place early in the twentieth century. Many prominent Africans and African cans fled to this part of New York to engage an ^ pate in the learing and educating process that we the Harlem Renaissance. , js Several historical figures emerged from . such as: Maria Odette Bonner: an educator, . short story teller, Anita Scott Coleman: an e g ist, poet and short-story teller, Myrtle At ^ Livingston: an educator, dancer and playwr'g ^^ Crawford Reynolds: a journalist and poet, an < the great Langston Hughes, author of poetry a Africans and African- Americans have a • dominant in the contribution to music.

My God, where are their priorities? If violence on television makes people act more vio­ lent wouldn't sex on television also effect one's behavior? Since 150,000 people die of AIDS yearly and only 21,000 are murdered in a year, shouldn't we be more concerned when our 8:00 role models on "Friends" sleep around than when "Walker, Texas Ranger" shoots a bad guy? Since the introduction of sex education in public schools the teenage birthrate has doubled. How about that? Isn't safe sex an oxymoron? And since we're dealing with life and death, isn't handing a kid a condom that's 65 per­ cent effective kind of like handing him a revolver with only two bullets and calling it safe gunplay? After we dropped our atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 140,000 Japanese civilians died while critics of this decision often cite the lowest American casualty esti­ mates of an invasion of Japan they can get their hands on (as though it proves Harry Truman was some kind of psy­ chopath). How come they never mention how many Japa­ nese civilians might have died in an invasion? The invasion of Iwo Jima and Okinawa (two very small islands compared to Japan), cost 122,000 Japanese lives, 85 percent of whom were civilians. If the Japanese were willing to lose over 100,000 civilians over two small is­ lands, there is no doubt an invasion of Japan would've cost many more civilians than those lost in both atomic blasts, which doesn't even begin to take into account Ameri­ can deaths.

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

Let's not forget, how­ ever, some of the lesser-known winter sports we participate in every time it snows or sleets here in Boone. One of these everyday athletic achieve­ ments is the five-minute dash to class. This involves having exactly five minutes to get all the way across campus through, say, two feet of snow or an inch of ice. The kicker is you have to get to class on time so you can take the test you forgot to study for. Every day, brave athletes tear across campus when the ^ ill®! . . The other. - winter ^ qames =— .

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

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

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

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

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

(Photo by Jason Wilkinson} Men's hoops beat ETSU Mike Daniels Assistant Sports Editor It seems like some teams really need to be on their home turf to play well and the 19951996 ASU men's basketball team is a perfect example of this. With a loss to Marshall in Huntington, W.Va. last week, the Apps road record on the season fell to 0-10 with just one more away game to go. Plus, the team lost both its games in Indiana's holiday tournament to make them 0-2 at neutral sites. The Apps returned to Boone on Saturday to face the Buccaneers of East Tennesse State, who had beaten the Apps 100-68 in the first meeting of the year in Johnson City. This time, playing before their own crowd, the Mountaineers turned the table on the Bucs and handed them a crushing 95-79 defeat. This win brought the Mountaineers home record to 7-4, meaning that every win the Mountaineers have had this season has been at home. Head Coach Tom Apke has said be­ fore that "to be contender in this league you have to play well on your own floor." It seems that the Mountaineers have yet to realize that you also have to play well on your opponents' floors to have a shot at win­ ning the Southern Conference. The numbers speak for themselves. The Apps are averaging 83.2 points per game at home this year. On the road, the Mountain­ eers are managing only a dismal 61.7, almost 22 points less than they are scoring at home. The Mountaineers have also been spot­ ting the team's big early leads with consistency on the road, while at home it has only hap­ pened a couple times. At Marshall the team went from leading 5-2 to start the game, to trailing 16-5 two minutes later. Against ETSU, it was the Apps who went up early and never looked back. Maybe it's all the traveling, or the deaf­ ening noise of the Southern Conference crowds on the road that have plagued the Apps jour­ neys out of the High Country all season. It just dosen't seem like this team should be do­ ing this poorly. After all, they do have talent in players like Kareem Livingston, who co-led the team with 24 points against ETSU, Junior Braswell, Brian Hege, who also had 24 versus • . inexperience ETSU, Clint Crosston, Blair Adderly, and Tige Darner, who had 18 at Marshall to lead the team. They have height, speed, scoring ability, and a decent bench, which are the main com­ ponents of a good all around team, albeit not a great team by any stretch. So it's hard to comprehend why they are doing so poorly this year. The Apps will have one last chance to get a road victory when they travel to Western Carolina next week. Meanwhile, the Moun­ taineers will have home games against UTC and VMI this week. David Willis Sports Editor Appalachian's wrestling team stilt plagued with injuries and forced to sta > several freshmen, dropped itssecond Sou* ern Conference match of the year, this tin-'to Virginia Military, 26-17, last ThursdayhJ Boone. Sophomore Tony Hairston put the APPS up early, as he pinned Keydet foe Ray Decke at the 2:04 mark, but the Mountaineers were swept in the next five matches. Appalachian's young squad proved to be costly as the Mountaineers were forced to wrestle four freshmen in the five matches that they dropped. Keydet brothers Aaron and Adam j Mickiewicz took the following two matches as Aaron pinned Martell Armstrong and Adam won the decision over Rob Daly, 12 4. In the 150 lb. class, App's Jason Brown dropped his decision, 8-1, and in the158 lb. class, Danny Beiting lost a majority deci­ sion, 16-1. The Mountaineers were forced •, to forfeit the 142 lb. class because of inju­ ries. Down 23-8 with four matches remaimi ing, the Mountaineers fought back and took! the next three matches. Sophomore Derek Strobel, back in the lineup for the first time since November 25,, won a majority decision over Kris Meier in i the 167 lb. class, 21-5. Seniors Jason Hooker and Seth Myerson won the next two matches by de­ cision to narrow the gap heading into the heavyweight match. Hooker won a major-, ity decision 12-0 and Myerson won 7-4. Down 23-17 heading into the final match, senior Duke Howell needed a pinfaD to tie the scorefor the Mountaineers, but; came up on the short end 3-2 as he at­ tempted for the pin. Appalachian fell to 7-8 on the year and, 1-2 in the conference. ASU will next face Davidson on Monday and Virginia Tech at home on Friday in Varsity Gym. Poremba and Green break ASU indoor track records David Willis Sports Editor Appalachian's Indoor Track teams conI tinue to perform well as they prepare for this weekend's Southern Conference Meet. Jun­ iors Todd Poremba and Ayokka Green again broke school records in the pole vault and the shot put, respectively. The teams sent members to both North Carolina and Clemson. The runners headed to Chapel Hill as the throwers traveled to South Carolina. The men's squad was led by Poremba, who broke his two-week old school record in the pole vault and finished third in the meet with a height of 16' 6 3/4", just missing the NCAA qualifying height of 17 2". Sophomore Jeff Fitzgerald placed 10th in the vault, with a height of 14' 7 1/4". Junior Rich Latta earned third place in the shot put and the 35 lb. weight toss as he threw for distances of 50' 9 1/4" and 51' 5". Latta's shot put throw broke a personal best by over a foot. Senior Jason Gibson placed 14th in the 60 meter hurdles out of 39 competitors. Senior Robert "Poose" Johnson did not compete after suffering a broken arm in a car accident last Wednesday night. His sta­ tus for this weekend's conference champion­ ships is questionable. "These two meets provided a tune-up for Brian Hege hits a lay-up against Furman last week. Hege scored a game high 24 against ETSU, Saturday. ASU won 95-79.

"With injuries and illness to | our distance squad and the car accident that broke the arm of Robert Johnson, we do have some question marks giong into the meet. However, this is a very determined lot of ath­ letes and the championship is very much on their minds as something that can happen. The women's team faired well in the two meets also, led by Green who broke her own, school record in the shot put, with a toss 0 ( 46' 8 3/4", placing her third in the meet.

Junior Lisa Roberts also set a season best for herself in the triple jump with a distance of 37 2 1/2". "We are pleased with the progress of the freshmen and sophomores on the team," said coach Weaver. "The seniors and juniors are making the contribution we need and their experience will have to guide us through the meet (conference championships), but our depth is in the young underclassmen. "We will find out this weekend what kind of fighters we have on the team. Tradition can mean a lot in these circumstances, but we respect our conference opponents for having brought themselves to our level. The confer­ ence is close and will be exciting." The Lady Apps have won the conference seven of the last eight years, but lost 16 mem­ bers from last year's team to graduation. They are currently rebuilding, but are always tough. The Mountaineers will compete in the conference championships this weekend at Virginia Military.

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

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

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

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

They could be insulting us, ^ L fun of our wives or figuring out a way to rob the place. We don't know." Thanks for putting such an asinine state­ ment in the article, because it makes it so much easier to explain to you where your reasoning went wrong. Racists commonly project their faults and insecurities on other people. Wise did not attempt to ask the men what they were talking about but assumed that because they were speaking in Spanish they were attacking his personal well-being. Could this be because that is the sort of thing he does to others when given the opportunity, or is he suffering from some sort of paranoia? Either way, it is his assumption that those who speak Spanish are corrupt (or at least, rude) that highlights his racism. Any attempt to humiliate another person because he/she is part of another racial or ethnic group is rac­ ism. The attempt by yourself to rationalize the actions of Joyce Ostrander make me won­ der whether or not YOU have a different defi­ nition for racism. She openly humiliated her customers, claiming it was her Patriotic duty to show disrespect to Hispanics who choose to converse with each other in Spanish. You quoted her as saying, "We don't want Spanish gibberish here and we mean it." She might just as well have said to the Hispanics "We don't want YOU in here." Tell me, given your own statement that language is the center point to culture, how can YOU claim it is not racist to force Hispan­ ics not to speak Spanish? By doing so you are denying the importance of their culture and it is their culture (as with all of us) which gives them a sense of identity. Thus, in essence, YOU are denying the importance of the identity of each Spanish speaking Hispanic in America. How is it that you believe humiliating oth­ ers will help race relations? Charles Frieber ASU Boxll915 UK I was appalled to read the editorial writiyjohn Lane. What does he mean by , jrica has been losing its identity steadily . jonie time now?" Like it or not, this state. has strongly racist overtones. It implies [here is an "American identity" that is to 45 and defended. In this case, it is one s American who speaks English. America is a constantly evolving paradigm enriched by every new culture and lanjXethat chooses to call it home. American identity only exists in the minds of a formerly dominant culture that does not want to make room for a changing society. In his article, Lane laments the fact that we have no way to enforce communication between people because we have no official language. There are other forms of communi­ cation besides language. For example, artistic expression promotes understanding and accep­ tance between cultures in ways that could never be exchanged in dialogue. Not only are there alternatives available but the idea of enforcing communication is a reprehensible notion and a direct violation of our constitu­ tional right to freedom of speech. Furthermore, I found it lamentable that someone would actually defend the actions of Joyce Ostrander. I have traveled all over the world and never been asked to refrain from speaking English. Ostrander has the right to her opinions but she does not have the right to condemn anyone for their choice of lan­ guage.

So,how far back do we go to determine a national language? Spanish has been spoken on this continent for far longer than English, as it predates it by almost 300 years! All across this nation, you can find various areas where there first was spoken a language other than English. So why English?? I would agree that as a nation, English is unofficially our language of choice, but I don't think any one of us has the right to tell an­ other that in order to be in the United States, you MUST speak English at all times. This should then be turned around on Americans traveling and working abroad, that they must at all times speak in the native tongue. Sadly, the majority of Americans would be barred from international travel and commerce be­ cause they aren't fluent in Russian, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese or any language other than English. My final point is that in fact, the majority of immigrants to this country are already flu­ ent in English, or at least have a working knowledge of the language and should be al­ lowed to revert to their native tongue when­ ever they so choose! to speak English (an impossibility in fact, but a necessity, according to you) so that all us good ol' regular American English speakers won't be left wondering? And do you really think it's safe to assume that everyone speaking a different language is out to hurt you? You know, maybe those guys just wanted a drink. You state we should make English the of­ ficial language in the United States. What about some of the border states like Texas? In 1848 when Mexico ceded Texas to the United States, the Treaty of Guadalupe was signed stating that Spanish would remain the official language in this territory and public education would be taught in Spanish. This agreement was never carried out. So, we take a people's land and with it their language, their "most identifying feature and centerpoint of their culture," in your words. I really don't understand the problem with having different languages spoken within the same country. I enjoy visiting cities like New York where there's a different language being spoken on every block. It's kind of beau­ tiful. It's kind of like accepting other cultures and appreciating their differences. Or is that also going too far? rial" language of this country takes the cake. You think people shouldn't be able to speak other languages because they might be talk­ ing about you? A bit paranoid? And you're voting for a president just for this reason? This country scares me. one another while dining in Tokyo. In addi­ tion, Lane's satire is obvious in the fact that an extension of his logic would preclude people from traveling to countries unless they were able and willing to speak in that country's na­ tive tongue. How funny! We should require all tourists to speak only English in public or they will be denied visas. We should now require all U.S. bilinguals to speak only English to one another or deny them access to supermarkets, shopping malls, churches, coffee shops and bars. We should require all U.S. tourists going abroad to be able not to just order meals and make hotel reser­ vations in other languages, but hold full-blown conversations even among themselves in that language. Lane's reference to the situation in India is absolutely hilarious. In a near perfect ex­ ample of spurious logic and partial informa­ tion, he uses the fact that India constitution­ ally recognizes numerous official languages to support the call for making English our na­ tional language. They officially recognize scores of languages, so obviously we should recognize only one! In 1993-94,1 spent eight months living in India, and I can't imagine any Indian asking me to leave anywhere because I wasn't speaking Hindi, or Punjabi, or Bengali, or Tamil, or English. Lane's satire is effective because it caustically reveals the ignorance of those without an appreciation for bilingualism and cultural diversity. And John Nolte is another Jonathan Swift in the making! He satirizes conservatives, call­ ing for truth in history and then labels those who disagree with his obviously right-wing positions as "America bashers," "ex-hippies" and "hippie wannabees." His equating wars between Native Ameri­ can peoples with the eradication of Native Americans by industrial civilizations is an ex­ ample of satirical hyperbole. He denigrates how American history has been written and then uses American historians to defend his arguments. He criticizes "selectivism" in his­ tory and then condenses our own complicated history and foreign policy, claiming it contin­ ues to be guided by pure altruism rather than self-interest. This has to be political satire at its best! Nolte's columns are one of the best weap­ ons liberals (read: ex-and-not-so ex-hippies) have, for they reveal the absurdities of conser­ vative positions. Yes, for every person who takes Nolte seriously and becomes a conser­ vative, at least five see the humor in his writ­ ing and become liberals. ^ te Editor: iyJ Sam Duffy ASU Box 17176 Susanne Faircloth ASU Box 7837 ipp . tpbe Editor: I Spanish gibberish?

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

A play with such dramatic subject mat[ften takes its toll on those involved, but (says the strength of the script and skill actors made the play easier in many 'Actually the hardest part for me was Lg the horse heads for the costumes," says There was also the problem of nude jfs.

He is going through mt of mid-life crisis, which is obviously Killing I have never had to deal with," says hJ. Finnegan, who plays Dr. Dysart. Playing such an intense character also istssome off-stage problems. Finnegan, a whom Charlotte, says it's draining to play G a character. "It's hard to deal with. I •By have to go off by myself for a while i rehearsal." Graham, a veteran of such plays as "Arms lihe Man" and "Midsummer Night's has his own set of difficulties. "It's a more intense as far as mental preparation than some of the other plays I've done," says Graham. "It's strange, yet wonderful, to as­ sume the personality of a person who has problems dealing with reality." Graham also feels drained after rehearsal. The actors only touch on the climatic scenes in both acts one and two because as Graham says, "they take so much out of you." Kathryn C. McAuliffe, a senior from Ra­ leigh, plays Alan's mother in the play. McAuliffe, who is known by her friends for having a good sense of humor, says it's tough to have a sense of humor while doing this play. "Some of the scenes I've done 20 or 30 times and they still disturb me." One scene that especially disturbs her is when she has to slap Graham, a close friend of hers. "It's very hard to get yourself angry enough to do something like that." Beyond the acting, "Equus" presents some interesting situations for the set and costume designers. The set designer, Marc A. Hurst, a senior from Charlotte, says the turn­ table set caused a few problems. "It has to represents four different sets that, along with the lighting, must give the illusion of change." William R. Nelson, costume designer for the show, says the modern dress of the show made the job a little easier, but there were some interesting problems with costumes as well. "Some of the abstract features, like the horses, made for an interesting job." Nelson, a senior from Kernersville, says the playwright made specific instructions about the horses. "They are never to be seen as real horses." Muckina about on the Internet Colesays attempting to portray real horses would lose the mythical image that goes along with the play. "They are supposed to look like horses you might see in a dream." "Equus" also stars M. Jan Thrasher as Jill, a girl involved with Alan, and C. Bradford Fairbanks as Alan's domineering father. The play will be showfoyat Vrt^org The­ atre Feb. 21 through Feb. Z& ai'tPplm? "This play really hits on people's feeling of loneliness and their need for understand­ ing," says Graham.

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

Somethat is- If some band decided country and rap, they'd prob7-be laughed out of town. On the L hand, some bands try to blend Jnds that compliment each other L st.

They blend the "aSikely bedfellows of heavy metal Qska with touches of funk and soul. feV join meaty guitar riffs with ' oothed-out horn and bass lines on ^new album, "Receiving the Gift jof Flavor." Of the heaviest cuts, "Drunk A— hole stands out as a clear pit stirrer. It leans surprisingly into hard-core and old-school punk. "Damn That S—t Is Good pulls off an equally impressive hard-core cop. "All Washed Up" soars with lurching riffs and even has a memorable chorus that you'll be sing­ ing for days. Beware of the album's closer, "Dirty Rat" - it bites. On the lighter side of the album (though never too light) are tracks like Open All Night," which bounces be­ tween soulful verse sections and power-riffing choruses. While the music entertains on this track, the lyr­ ics fail to deliver the goods. Unfortu­ nately this is a recurring trend on Re­ ceiving the Gift. "Frying Pan" talks about hitting people with (guess what?) a frying pan. The running fugitive story in "Killing is Easy" comes off as what it is - a cliche. The pseudo-rap lyrics of "Gettin' Hectic" hardly seem sincere or satirical, just really bad. The Urge covers so much terri­ tory that it is decidedly difficult to clump them into one category. Just because they use horns doesn't mean that they are ska. Don't expect to hear pure, straight-ahead metal either. Re­ member this is a blend, and as such, defies to stand still on one style. This kind of variety is quite ef­ fective, in places. It's amazing how the horns can amplify a deranged hard-core song. It's also amazing how bad lyrics can drag down a song that otherwise has everything going for it. For the sake of hearing the mu­ sic on this album, pick it up. Better yet, see the Urge Friday in the Pub as part of the New Music Fest: you usu­ ally can't hear all the lyrics at a live show. Steve Mackay Reporter Benjamin Sanderson hates his life so much, he has decided to drink himself to death. His only chance of salvation is Sera, a Las Vegas hooker also on the path toward self-destruc­ tion. That is the premise behind "Leaving Las Vegas," a bound for Os­ car glory film that has finally made its way to Boone after playing in ma­ jor cities for the last few months. Early in the movie, we find out that Ben (Nicholas Cage) has been on a path to doom for quite some time. His wife and son have left him and his job as a Hollywood executive is gone due to his excessive drinking. We actually never learn much about Ben; we just know he's a living bottle of booze. After burning or throwing away just about everything he owns, Ben drives to Vegas where he intends to slowly kill himself. There he meets and eventually falls in love with Sera (Elizabeth Shue), a hooker who is stricken by Ben's plight and his affec­ tions for her. That's pretty much it as far as plotline goes. Instead, unlike most ultrabudget Hollywood fare, "Leaving Las Vfegas" centers on desperate, volatile human emotions and the tragedy that results from them. This is a tragic movie - Ben does not find some miracle cure or suddenly become a happy man. He completes his mission in a grueling succession of scenes where his body slowly suc­ cumbs to the untold gallons of alco­ holic poison. Only Sera finds a sliver of re­ demption. This comes only after her abusive and literally insane pimp (Julian Sands) is murdered (off screen) by vengeful gangsters and be­ ing brutally raped by a troupe of col­ lege ffat boys - an unnecessary scene. What she does with her life is left un­ answered. Not for all tastes, "Leaving Las Vegas" should be commended for hav­ ing the guts to stay on its path of hu­ man self-destruction and death. The characters are rather disdainful and not as pleasant as those in happy, proper films such as "Sense and Sen­ sibility," but they are strikingly real. Made for a measly $4 million, this film packs more of a wallop than any movie released in '95. Based on a semi-autobiographical book by John O'Brien, who committed suicide soon after the movie rights were sold, "\fegas" is brilliandy helmed by writer-di­ rector Mike Figgis. Alas, this is probably one of the many great films never to be seen by a large sector of the public (after 15 weeks in release, it has only made $12 million). The only drawback is the music score, also created by Figgis. Although it's great blues music (sung by Sting among others), it gets in the way of the story at times. The stunning wallop and heart of this film comes from Cage and Shue, in their best performances ever. This is a far cry from "Honeymoon in Ve­ gas," Cage's prior visit to sin city.

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

The result was familiar: Furman's Lady Pala­ dins were outmanned and outhustled, and Appalachian State hung a 96-64 loss on its Southern Conference rival. Getting off to quick starts is the trademark of the ASU women's basketball team, and the Mountaineers continued along that vein on Monday. The Lady Apps (17-5,10-0 Southern) made 25 of 34 first half shots to take a 53-34 lead. Hinton scored all but six of her seasonhigh 26 in the opening half. Four other Appalachian players reached double figures in scoring, led by Hinton and freshman Beth Schoolfield, who had 14 point on the evening. The trio of Melissa Davis, Maaret Artosalo and Leigh Jones poured in 22 of their combined 35 before halftime. On a night the Paladins (8-15, 4-7) were dominated in nearly every category, Furman found a bright spot in Julie Johnson. The fresh­ man guard scored 19 points for the shorthanded Paladins, who dressed nine players for the game. Shannon Spencer dished out nine assists in 22 minutes, and ASU's all-time steals leader picked the pockets of Furman's guards four times. Reserve point guard Cara Sims had five assists in relief, while first-year forward Shonta Rowe scored five points and collected eight boards. "Our freshmen have come in and gotten good minutes," said App Assistant Coach Barbie Breedlove of recent games. "That's un­ usual for freshmen here at Appalachian." The Mountaineers are four games away from becoming the first women's basketball team in the conference's 12-year history to fin­ ish undefeated in league play. Coach Linda Robinson's 1986-87 and 1988-89 squads were two of seven teams to make it through the Southern Conference schedule with only one loss. "I don't think there's any danger of us peaking too soon," said Coach Breedlove. "We gave our players a couple-of days off. We need fresh legs and fresh minds (for the remainder of the season)." Appalachian State faces East Tennessee State on Saturday at 3:30 in Varsity Gym, and Marshall at 5:15 Monday evening. The Moun­ taineers take to the road for their last two regu­ lar season games, after which will be an eightgame home stand. •• t Andreia Hinton goes up for a shot over a Davidson defender last week. Hinton finished with 26 points against Furman on Monday evening. (Photo by Jason Wilkinson) ASU Indoor Track competes at Kent Duals David Willis Sports Editor Appalachian senior John Moss qualified for the NCAA's by clearing a height of 7' 1" in the high jump, and senior Jason Gibson set a Mountaineer school record in the 200 meter hurdles with a time of 24.73 as the ASU men's indoor track placed third and the women's team finished second in the Kent Duals. Moss joined Robert "Poose" Johnson in qualifying for the NCAA's in March. Johnson sat out the triple jump due to ankle injuries, but competed in other events. Moss also fin­ ished seventh in the long jump. Johnson finished second in the 200 meter dash with a time of 22.23 and fifth in the 55 meter dash with a time of 6.52. Gibson ended with a pair of second place finishes, including his record setting 200 meter hurdles run. He also came in second in the 55 meter hurdles with a time of 7.66. In the 800 meter dash, Jon Austin finished fourth with a time of 1:54.92 and Bob Mahoney finished eighth with a time of 1:58.18. Raymond Brewer captured a third place finish in the 200 meter hurdles with a time of 25.12 and a sixth place finish in the 55 meter hurdles with a time of 7.78. In the pole vault, Todd Poremba recorded a height of 16' 2" and Jeff Fitzgerald finished at 15' 2", placing them third and fifth, respec­ tively. In the throwing events, Rich Latta finished second in the 35 lb. weight and Chris Cockerham finished fourth. Latta also finished fourth in the shot put. Finally in the mile, Judd Sarver recorded a fourth place finish. For the Lady Apps, Nikki Harris and Trice Roundtree both placed in all three of their events. Roundtree won the 55 meter hurdles with a time of 8.34, placed second in the 200 meter hurdles with a time of 28.85, and finished fifth in the triple jump at 34' 11". Harris won die triple jump at 37 8", placed third in the long jump at 18' 5", and finished third in the 55 meter dash with a time of 7.22. Also in the 55 meter dash, Taiisha Goins placed second with a time of 7.21 and Karen Houston finished fourth at 7.37. Houston also finished eigth in the 200 meter dash at 27.24. Juanita Welford grabbed a third place fin­ ish in the 400 meters at 59.58 and a sixth place finish in the 200 meters. In other events, Susan Poole and Michelle Simmons finished seventh and eighth in the 800 meters and Jenny Chase and Christina Olsen placed third and sixth in the mile. Jennifer Vest placed third in the 200 meter hurdles and sixth in the 55 meter hurdles. Faith Ninivaggi also placed eighth in the 200 meter hudles. Ayokka Green placed second in the shot put with a distance of 46' 1" and Erica Bahry finished eighth in the 20 lb. weight. Lisa Robert finished seventh in the long jump and seventh in the high jump. Gibson Roundtree Moss Harris Goins The Lady Apps also placed third in the distance medley. "We were very pleased with the progress of many of the athletes in this meet," said ASU Head Coach John Weaver, following the meet. "We have a very young team which expe­ rienced its first long trip and first scored meet. The Kent depth and experience was a good educational experience for us. They certainly are the kind of team we aspire to be in the future, again. Our team needs for some upperclassman leadership to rise up and lead these young women to the Southern Confer­ ence Championship next week." The track members will be competing again this weekend at either UNC or Clemson. Good luck Apps! �l3lachian 15 February 1996 Page 13 Itommy Morrison; the fight of his life j^e Daniels distant Sports Editor Sports Commentary y0u probably know by now, if picked up a sports page or ied ESPN in the last few days, ryweight fighter Tommy Morrison 'l*en tested positive for having the virus which causes AIDS. The 27-year-old boxer was schedi to fight journeyman Arthur ithers Saturday night when he was med just hours before the bout , he had been suspended by the da Athletic Commission. At that he did not know why he was besuspended. It was not until later he found out he had tested posi?e for the AIDS virus. M ve There are a few things different about this latest incident of a wellknown athlete contracting HIV than the last time it happened with Magic Johnson. For one thing, there can be no controversy about whether Morrison can still fight as there was when Magic retired, (then ironically made his comeback just before this incident). Clearly Morrison can not fight again, nor should he be allowed to. Boxing is just too bloody a sport to let some­ one with HIV into the ring. The chances of a fighter getting AIDS from another boxer in the ring have never been figured out, but I think it is safe to say that it is more likely to happen in the ring than on a basketball court. The second major difference about Morrison's and Johnson's con­ traction of the virus is when it hap­ pened. In 1992, when Magic shocked the basketball world with his an­ nouncement that he had Hiy AIDS awareness was just starting to pick up momentum. There were still many people at that time, including Johnson, who knew very little about the disease and its dangers. Today, no one can plead igno­ rance about AIDS. Awareness of this virus is worldwide, and even the most out of touch people now know how it is transmitted. The fact that Morrison chose to go ahead and lead the lifestyle that he did, knowing the dangers that it could bring, was just plain stupid on his part. What I'm trying to say is that Morrison should not be made a hero just because he is going to die. The fact is that he, like Johnson, made a bad choice - and now has to pay for it with his life. Hopefully, Morrison will try to make the most of his remaining time on this earth. He has the chance to educate people and prevent them from making the same mistakes that he did. If he did this, he would still be one out of millions of people who made a stupid mistake that cost them their lives, but at least he would be doing something worthwhile with it. Hinton Southern Conference Women's BasketballStandings continued from page 12 Hinton feels that this love draws the players together The team is very close on and off the court "On the floor, we know what each other's going to do. Off the floor, we can talk to each other be­ cause we know the struggles of being college athletes." When she graduates from Ap­ palachian, Hinton hopes to pursue a career in social work. "I love working with people. I'm just a people person. My friends say Tm too nice at times because I'm one of those if you need anything,come see me type of people." Her basketball career will end when she leaves Appalachian, but she feels her priorities are straight. "With education you have some­ thing to fall back on, but it shouldn't be that way, it should be number one. If you do well in school you can do whatever you want." Conference Team W L Pet.

An emergency purchase order has been asked for by the departments of residence life and housing, in order to rush the replace­ ment of the old fire panel.

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

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

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

How about your gas station attendant or the sales clerk at K-Mart? No? You should. These people are the backbone of our great nation, taking on the chores and responsibilities that "proper" America would never dream of doing. Yet, these people are paid miserable wages and quite often treated with harsh malcontent and rudeness. These jobs are often called "menial." And who, prey tell, are the holders of these jobs? "Menial People." This is just another example of publicly showing disrespect for the minimum wage set. That is why it's my ultimate fantasy (besides the one with Geena Davis and Michelle Pfeiffer) to have a national requirement that every citizen work at least one year in the public service sector. The paid assignments could range from being a waitress at The Waffle House to running the popcom machine at the local multiplex, or becoming the janitor at an office building. 1 know this plan sounds rather socialistic, but 1 tend to think of it as more of a wake-up call to the snobs of American society to inject a little respect into their daily dosage of handing out quips and advice to workers. I'm sure you're familiar with such great anecdotes as "What do you mean you're out of fish. Can't you go in the back and find some for me?" or "I'd like to order a well-done New York Strip, but can you make it snappy. I have to be someplace in half-an-hour." Over a five year period in the food service industry (that's fancy code for flipping burgers and cleaning out food-encrusted trashcans), I have more than completed my share of required service to the public. 1 would regularly work six hours straight in a dishroom and/or cook for a hundred people in one hour. Now, Fm not trying to milk sympathy from readers. I've done worse and seen people do far more work than myself. I'm just pointing out situations that a customer should consider being in themselves before they complain about how somebody else is doing it. During those many years behind the register, I had my share of run-ins with inept, disgruntled and plain vi­ cious members of the public. Once, after telling a customer we were out of ribeyes, he threw his drink at me and swore as if I had personally eaten all of the steaks just to tick him off. I often wonder, if that guy had been in my shoes, would he have liked wearing iced tea? Probably not. That's the reason behind my great scheme. Mavbe once every member of society, from the dirt poor fella (who's probably already working the job) to the Beverly Hills aristocrat who shuns any and all dirt, learns what a real work day is like there would never be another case of "douse the cashier with cold tea." Maybe that guy and every other foaming at the mo tv customer in the country would understand that peopl ' I the service industry are just that- people. Like us, they'"1' I just trying toscrapeb ya n d makea brighterfuturefort h e ' selves. (I'm not suggesting every worker is a token antjel' many are just as selfish and rude as the worst custome Y Do you think the lunch lady in the Food Court dreamed as a child of one day growing up and forking over chick ' tenders to an endless line of pimple-fac^ twentysomethings? These people have dreams too, but for one reason another, they were side-tracked. No one in their right mindwould ask to flip hamburgers for a living, yet they take on' the responsibility and complete the task. I'm sure once you cook a hundred steaks in one hour or wash dishes all night, you'll never look at life or the' entities of hard work and responsibility the same way again Thinking back on those days of being literally covered in a' film of grease and food scum, I shudder with a smile that I' will never have to go back again. But, of course, if I haye to, I will. I know this fantasy will never happen. Most people of the snobby persuasion will still look upon the minimum wage worker as a lesser human being than themselves That I" me, is disgraceful. If anything, remember this at- ' tide when you go to McDonald's or K-Mart or Texaco. Remember to return the smile that the minimum wage worker gives to you. Pretend that you're smiling at yourself. Because, in a way, you are. Decency Act censors nternet Vanessa Urruela Editorials Editor Honestly, I'm almost totally in the dark when it comes to politics. I don't know the first thing about the way the government works outside of what I learned in my ninth grade civics class. What I do know when I see it, however, is an overt act by both Congress and the President. Six days ago I sent the President e-mail urging him to reassess the Telecommunications Bill before signing it. I said the Communication Deceny Act attached to the bill would take away free speech over the Internet if it passed. Apparently my message, along with the thousands of oth­ ers he received that day, went unnoticed. Thursday, President Clinton spoke about the bill he was about to sign into law. "Consumers will receive the benefits of lower prices, better quality and greater choices in their telephone and cable services, and they will con­ tinue to benefit from a diversity of voices and viewpoints in radio, television and the print media," he said. What about diversity on the Net? How can it exist within a medium once it is censored and otherwise limited in content? The Communication Deceny Act regulates what a per­ son can transmit over the Internet. It was written to pro­ tect children from "indecent" transmissions of information in text and graphic form over the Internet. It makes trans­ mission of information about abortion, sex and "indecent" topics through e-mail illegal. The government said it doesn't know exactly what will be determined to be "indecent", but that abortion and pornography are definitely two things that don't belong on the net. Attorney General Janet Reno said she doesn't know how the government will determine what is inde­ cent. How can the government create a law that doesn't even clarify what it sets out to regulate? Sanctions for violations of the Act have been set. A fine of $250,000 and jail terms of as long as five years are possible punishments for anyone who makes "indecent" material available to children in a public forum. Simply said, this means links from a homepage to sources of pornographic photography or information about abortion are illegal. It also means that e-mail messages are going to be monitored, legally, by Internet service pro­ viders to insure children don't get e-mail with explicit lan­ guage or "indecent" material. I agree that children need guidance and should be supervised when surfing the Net. What I don't think is right is the limiting of an adult's right to read and say what­ ever they wish when using their computer. I guess Con­ gress didn't care that they were voting away adults' rights when this bill passed with flying colors. If free speech is to be taken away, the government needs to do it the lawful way- through amendment to the Constitution. By tacking on this Act to the Bill, the gov­ ernment has snuck yet another ridiculous law into power. Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole addressed the bill, saying, "It will propel our country into the next century." If this kind of communist regulation is what we can expect from our government in the future, we are in big trouble. What's next? Regulation of what newspapers and maga­ zines can run? This new series of laws isn't being given the proper amount of attention. Besides computer companies and people who are really into the Net, hardly anyone has voiced their thoughts about the Decency Act. Doesn't it disturb anyone else that the government has taken it into their hands to determine what is appro­ priate for people to see? I will never understand why they can't figure out that it is when you call attention to some­ thing you wish to censor, the more attractive it becomes to those you wish to shelter from it. Flat tax boosts economy John Nolte Columnist The flat tax will simplify the tax system but more im­ portantly it will lower taxes which historically expands the economy and, believe it or not, increases tax revenues. First a warning: If you're a close minded mean-spir­ ited class warrior who uses psuedo- compassion as an ex­ cuse to tax the rich but are actually motivated by hate and jealousy, I suggest you go back to your Utne Reader. Facts are to liberalism what sunlight is to vampires, nei­ ther can stand the exposure. Years ago a very popular recently elected President stood before the Economic Club to explain why taxes should be lowered. He said, "It is a paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high and tax revenues are too low, and the soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the rates now." Then he lowered tax rates which expanded the economy, created jobs and increased trea­ sury revenues 16 percent. This allowed him to boost de­ fense spending to a percentage of GDP never seen before or since. The year was 1962 and the President was John F. Kennedy. Kennedy, like Reagan understood that tax rates have no effect on tax revenues. In the 1920's taxes were slashed, including the top rate from 73 percent to 25 percent and like the '60s, tax revenues grew, this time a staggering 61 percent. But how can you lower taxes and raise revenues? To quote someone who doesn't understand this: "It's the economy, stupid." Since the introduction of the income tax, top rates have varied from four percent to 90 per­ cent, but revenues have only grown when the economy did. If you want to expand the economy, history tells us to lower taxes. There is a point of diminished returns with tax rates whereas you can only tax so much money out of the economy before it effects economic growth to a point that people make less money and pay less taxes. The more money people have, the more they spend, and spending creates jobs (taxpayers) and profits for corpora­ tions (revenues). A flat tax properly uses the tax code to raise optimum revenues. Presently, the tax code is a po­ litical tool of the left to punish the rich and ride the trojan class warhorse into office. So now you're wondering if tax decreases aren't just a return to the 1980's. Well, I hope so. Look past the cliches the media, politicians, and the academics are try­ ing to brainwash you with and into the facts. Cliche: Tax decreases only benefit the rich. Fact: Between 1980 and 1992 the US Census Bureau reported that total tax savings were distributed as follows: The poorest 20 percent pay no taxes, the second poorest 20 percent saved 37.8 percent, the middle 20 percent saved 21.5 percent, the second richest 20 percent saved 20.9 per cent, the richest 20 percent saved 9.3 percent and the rich­ est 1% saved only 7.9%. The poorer you were, the more of your own money you kept in the '80s. Cliche: The deficit was caused by tax cuts. Fact: The US Treasury reports that between 1981and 1989 yearly tax revenues surged from $550 billion to $991 billion. An after inflation increase of 28 percent. The deficit was caused by a democratically controlled congress outspending revenue increases and a President unwilling to fight them. How in the world liberals get away with blaming Reagan for draconian budget cuts and the deficit is beyond me. Reagan did cut some programs which is the half truth liberals use, but one of Reagan's failures was allowing a $165 billion expansion of overall poverty programs while in office. Believe me conservatives would be ecstatic if this lie were true. Cliche: Tax cuts are a windfall for the rich. Fact: Each tax cut has actually increased the percent-, age of overall taxes paid by the rich. In 1921 the richest 20 percent paid 44 percent of all taxes and the tax cuts increased that to 78 percent. After Kennedy's cuts, the nc paid 18 percent of all taxes up from 15 percent, hi te '80s, the richest 10 percent picked up 48 percent of t national tab until tax cuts increased that to 57 percentThe richest 1 percent had their burden increase from percent to 28 percent. .. These tax cuts also decreased poverty, slashed in ^ tion (the cruelest tax on the poor), unemployment an interest rates by two-thirds all while expanding economy for 96 continuous months which has never . million pened Fv"vu u"""6 during peacetime ui our history. Twenty in wui J' f n<j. jobs were created, a majority of which the U.S. ^ j reau proves, were not at McDonalds but high te very well paying. ^ In 1986 the deficit was over $200 billion u* ^ economy was really chugging.

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

During the opening 20 minutes, senior Karolina Karlqvist was per­ fect on three attempts from behind the arc. The Wildcats (10-9,4-5) stayed close early, trailing 9-8 with over five minutes gone. But in the next minute, a three-pointer by Leigh Jones, followed by Melissa Davis' hook from close range, gave Appalachian State a six-point lead. The Mountaineers outscored Davidson 33-16 from that point until halftime, as Davis hit eight of her 11 points. Appalachian State held a 29-point lead midway through the second half, and Davidson scored 17 in three minutes to pull closer. Coach Linda Robinson's Lady Apps used a timeout to regroup, and the bench helped ASU climb back to a 27-point advantage. Shonta Rowe's eight points and eight boards represented the recently impn ved play of ASU's freshman class. With center Andreia Hinton resting in the midst of a 17-point, 10rebound, and 4-assist afternoon,Tamara Stewart and Beth Schoolfield combined for a dozen points. Senior Kristen Ferrucci scored 16 of her 20 points in the second half for the Lady Wild­ cats, doing so without missing a shot in the entire game. In twenty minutes on the floor, Ferrucci hit 8-of-8 from the field and made all four of her free throws. Ferrucci's teammates, however, managed to shoot just 32 percent in the first half. Fresh­ man Kerry Brown, Davidson's leading scorer, did not play, and Jennie Vanlerberghe (9.6 points per game) went zero for eight from the field to finish with one point. The Mountaineers were in a giving mood Saturday, collecting 18 assists as a team. Merideth Thompson's five dishes led ASU, while Shannon Spencer and Cara Sims had 63ch Reporter With a finishing high school record of 135 and 20, An lachian State senior Eddy Clark hopes to end his final tling season at App with similar results. Though he is out for two and a half weeks due to a sho der injury, Clark has mana2e(i a a 1A and 6 ra/<A>-/4 this season 16 anH A record ».i_ • This native of Avery County started wrestling whe he was 14 years old. He at tributes the interest to an older brother who also wrestled i high school. Clark also admit" ted that having five 0lder brothers kept him "scrappy" ^ of his life. Wrestling with older brothers wasn't Clark's only ! workout in high school. He! also played football. By his' mid-senior year, Clark was faced with college scholarship oh' fers in both wrestling and football. "I wasn't as big as I needed to be in football," said Clark. "I think I made the right choice "' His wrestling career hovered ever his football career when h{! finished high school All-American and won the state champh! onship 42-0. When asked about why he made the decision to come to Appalachian, Clark simply said, "Coach is a good recruiter. ! The only action Clark saw his freshman year was from the stands. He sustained injuries in both knees and had to have surgery. Now Clark has had his fill of college wrestling. No, ho doesn't want to quit, but he has experienced the ups and downs of being a college athlete. "College athletics is so demanding; Training is strenuous. We have practice every morning at 6:30 and again at 4:00 in the afternoon. It usually lasts for three and a half to four hours." He quickly added, "I've never regretted it. Wrestling ii what got me into school." However, Clark is no dumb jock He's maintained at least a 3.0 GPA since he was a freshman and he made the Dean's list last semester. "I've been suprised about my good grades in college. I've learned that good grades mean effort and time," he said. ; Effort and time are required in wrestling too. "Wrestling is all you've got for seven minutes," said Clark, "It's technique, intensity, and aggression." \} Appalachian junior guard Melissa Davis drives to the hoop for two against Davidson on Saturday.

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

The Mountaineer grapplers rebounded after losing their first conference match to UTChattanooga on Jan. 27. Sophomore Tony Hairston helped put ASU out in front early as he easily won a majority decision over his Bulldog foe at 118 lbs. Hairston won the match 13-3 and improved his record to 19-10 on the year. In the next bout, freshman Martell Armstrong won his second match of the year at 126 lbs., repeating Hairston's performance with a majority decision 13-4. Unfortunately in the 134 lb. class, fresh­ man Ross Hawks, seeing his first action of his Mountaineer career, dropped the match, 9-3. The Mountaineers, however, stormed back and won six of the final seven matches, includ­ ing freshman Rob Daly's third pin of the year at 142 lbs. Daly's record improved to 21-9 on the year. The 150 lb. weight class, freshman JasaB Brown won his fifth of the year on a forfeit and in the 158 lb. class, freshman Danny Beiting fell 17-4. J In the final four matches, the Mountain­ eer upperclassmen took over and breezed to the victory.

Damon Stoudamire said, before the NBA Rookie game on Saturday, that you have to take advantage of the weekend, because you might not ever get invited back. Stoudamire did just that in the Rookie All-Star game. He finished with 19 points and 11 assists, but the "point guard" put up almost twice as many shots as any of his East team­ mates. Not only did he steal the spot­ light, he also stole the MVP award. West rookie Joe Smith scored 20 points on 6-10 shooting, including 3-4 from three-point range and nailed a would have been game winning three after the buzzer sounded.

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

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

Another need being requested for endowments, other than the library, include more scholarships. Some scholarships being requested are ones partially and fully funded for graduate students and students in leader­ ship. Additional themes include an upgrad­ ing of the field at State Farm, enhancing multi­ media services for technology all over campus, and a recording studio for the School of Mu­ sic. "I'll be excited to see the final list," said Weaver. On Feb. 26, Borkowski and Siegfried Herrmann, vice chancellor of university ad­ vancement, will view a draft of the requests to be used in the campaign. According to Lawson, the Board of Trustees and the Board of Appalachian Foun­ dation will have the final approval. The Board will meet in early fall and make a decision on which requests to fund and how much money to direct toward that need. Index Page 2... News. MCI connects Appalachian to the world.

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

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

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

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

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

The only way to maintain or expand AppalCART will be to increase financial sup­ port at the state and local levels. The worst thing about these cuts is that they most likely are not the last cuts Congress will have to make in order to balance the bud­ get. It is also disturbing that the cuts to transit were made without any significant cuts to the highway side of the department. On the brighter side, Governor Hunt has appointed the Transit 2001 Commission to study the need for public transportation in North Carolina, and to recommend ways of funding services designed to meet the present and future needs for public transportation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Photo by Jason Wilkinson) Mountaineers win battle for SC cellar Mike Daniels Assistant Sports Editor In one of their most exciting performances in weeks, Appalachian State's men's basketball team lost a heart-breaker to Georgia Southern Monday in Statesboro, Ga. night 74-72 in over­ time. The entire game came down to the last few seconds of overtime when Georgia Southern's Johna Seay hit an inside jump shot and was fouled by Appalachian's Clint Crosston to give the Eagles a 73-72 lead. Seay sank his free-throw to complete the three-point play and give the Eagles the two-point win. Appalachian had a good chance to win the game in regulation. The Mountaineers led by as much as 13 points with under six minutes remaining in the second period. Unfourtunately, the Eagles decided that they weren't about to give one away in their own gym. Down 63-53 with five minutes to go, Georgia Southern went on a 10-point run to shut out Appalachian the rest of the way, ty­ ing the score at 63 all, and sending the game to overtime. In overtime the lead changed hands sev­ eral times but Sea/s nine points in the period was ultimately too much for the Mountaineers. The leading scorers for Appalachian in the loss were sophomore Clint Crosston and jun­ ior Junior Braswell who each recorded 18 points. Another big performer for Appalachian was sophomore Tige Darner who had 13 points and pulled down a game-high 10 rebounds. Also breaking in double digits in points was sophomore Kareem Livingston who had 11 on the night. This loss drops the Apps to 1-6 in the coijferpnce and 5-14 overall. The loss also keeps the Mountaineers winless on the road this year at 0-8 with just three away games left. One of those three games will be at Davidson this Saturday. Before that, however, the Mountain­ eers will face the Furman Paladins tonight at 7:00 p.m: in Varsity Gymnasium. The game is a make up for last Saturday's match-up that was postponed due to the weather. 1995-96 Southern Conference Women's Standings Conference Team Appalachian State Georgia Southern Davidson Tennessee-Chatanooga Marshall Furman Western Carolina East Tennessee State Overall W L 8 0 5 3 4 3 4 4 4 4 3 5 2 6 1 6 W 15 12 10 8 7 7 7 7 PCT. 1.000 .625 .571 .500 .500 .375 .250 .142 L 5 8 7 10 12 13 12 11 PCT .750 .600 .588 .444 .368 .350 .368 .388 Moss to 16' 1 3/4".

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

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

Lots at State Farm, Greenway, and South were ones they could not clear. He said this should not prevent mo­ torists from moving about, since the amount of snow was not significant. The snow and ice caused problems at Broyhill Inn and Conference Center. "We had a lot of cancellations," said Tonya Patterson, front desk clerk. She said a lot of ski groups had planned to come, but did not make it. ' • — According to Tim Baxter, director of the High Country Cable Morning Show, Boone received from one to two inches of ice and sleet, and four to six inches of snow this week­ end. Baxter also said the coldest day of this winter weather was Monday morning. The actual temperature was five below zero. He said the wind chill was not a big problem dur­ ing this storm because the winds never picked up. Ice and snow began falling Thursday night and continued through Saturday, blanketing everything in its path.

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

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

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

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

All they know is Jjrfiove each other and want to be to­ gether. If our country is going to be great we need to find a reasonable middle ground in cases like this one. The answer isn't always to slap the most strict penalty upon people who don't understand our laws from a cultural perspec­ tive. I have total respect for the law but think cultural implications should be examined too. I have a 14 year-old sister. Since we are Americans, it would be horrible for her to get pregnant by a man of any age. Our culture doesn't prepare young teens to handle preg­ nancy or serious relationships. We don't have high maturation expectancies for teens in this country. If we were in Mexico, however, I might be considered an old maid. It's a cul­ tural toss up. Ma>e if we were exposed to more realis­ tic ima-'s of Mexican life than "border jump­ ers" vo "steal" American jobs, we would embrte diversity. The least we could do is be morftnderstanding. It's not like almost ev­ ery ty doesn't have American teens giving birt at disturbing rates. How many Americaimales go to jail for impregnating them? Htdly any. If it were up to me to decide Pedro and aela's fate, I would send them back to Mexico nere their chances for happiness are much reater than they are here.

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

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

Templeton, a ffeshman from Newton, says she believes Valentine's Day is too commercial­ ized, but that doesn't make it any less special.

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

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

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

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

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

Volume 70, Number 27 Appalachian State University, Boone, North Carolina, 28608 hfuary h ete cleared of all charges ee Cagle ,WS Editor Appalachian State football player Lance was cleared Tuesday of all • tLat he assaulted Paula L. Crosby, a i?ean ffom Greensboro. The five-hour trial Lgid in district criminal court at the County Courthouse. juga The state opened its case with Ly»j testimony. She said that on Sept. 18, «atabout 7:30 p.m., she was walking past j[one wall surrounding Justice Hall when ck male grabbed her left arm and started t0 her. "He was telling me to sit down dialk to him," Crosby said. She also said asked why she was walking alone. Crosby said she was returning to her nee hall, White Hall, after having dinat Trivette Hall with a friend, J. Ben Emalso a freshman. Crosby said the suspect pulled her •m and made her sit with him and started rubbing the inside of her leg and back. "He told me that if I went to his room, we could have more fun," said Crosby. She said she saw a friend, Joe H. Plummer, and yelled out to him. When he stopped and looked, she ran to Plummer. Crosby and Plummer talked for about 15 minutes. She said when she felt comfort­ able she left for her residence hall, going past the spot where she said the man grabbed her. Crosby also said when she got to Sanford Mall she heard someone yelling at her. She turned and saw who she thought was the man who had assaulted her. Crosby ran to her residence hall, where her resident assistant, Becky K. Jones, called university police. Crosby said she gave her statement to a security officer and an hour later two other officers from campus security arrived to ask her questions. Crosby was then given an Appalchian football program to look through. According to Capt. Larry Foster of Appalachian security, Crosby picked more than one photo as the possible suspect. Crosby said the next day she went to Foster's office for a photo lineup. She said Foster had several photos in a folder. She said Lance's photo was there twice, and she picked those photos as the male who grabbed her. When questioned by assistant district attorney Phillip Hayes, Foster said the lineup only had four photos, and only one of those was of Lance. At the time of the incident, Crosby did not press charges. Crosby said she saw Lance at a party on Nov. 11 and was scared, but stayed at the party. She said while she was talking to her friend, .Allison R. Perry, a sophomore, Lance ran his hand down her back and grabbed her waist. Perry testified that Lance put his arms around her and Crosby as he was leaving the party. Perry also said Crosby had to be taken to a bedroom to calm down after the inci­ dent. Gordon L. Fenderson, a sophomore from Apopka, Fla., went to the party with Lance. He said they only stayed for about 30 minutes, and that he walked right behind Lance as they left. Fenderson did not recall seeing Crosby or Perry at the party. Lance • also testified that : he did not see Crosby or Perry at the party. He did say a man approached him asking why Lance was mess­ ing with his girl­ friend. Some friends of the man grabbed Lance and sug­ Lance gested he leave the party. Prompted by this incident, Crosby swore out a warrant for Lance's arrest on Nov. 15. Lance testified he was sitting on the wall near Justice Hall on Sept. 18 and was at the Nov. 11 party, but said he never saw Crosby or talked to her. He said he let Foster take a picture of him because he did not do anything wrong. Lance denied that the football team gets special allowances or are the "big men on campus." Lance said, "We (the team) earn what we get." Several Appalachian football players testified on Lance's behalf. Each player veri­ fied that during the season the team has a set schedule. After practice, they shower and eat together at the training table in Welborn Hall. Afterward, most of the players sit on the wall near Justice Hall and talk. Dexter W. Coakley, a junior from Mt. Pleasant, S.C., said no one person sits on the wall alone. "When one leaves, it's like a chain reaction." Each player testified that Lance was sitting on the wall Sept. 18, but none of them saw him talking to a female that evening. Judge Alexander Lyerly pronounced Lance not guilty because there was reasonable doubt that Lance was the assailant. niversity Advancement raises $2.1 million reporter The Office of Development and Unireported that fundraising nd donations broke records for Appalachian ute University in 1995.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We arrived shortly after the place opened and said our usual hellos to the local kids and employees. Excitement filled my body as the long awaited skate session began. The eight of us proceeded to destroy the street course doing tricks like backside ollies, 5-0 grinds, kick-flips and much more. You can always count on the micro-thin layer of masonite dust that covers the floor to cause the worst wipe-outs. On the stereo "Bags and Trane" played, which is one of the best recordings ever with John Coltrane and Milt Jackson. It also makes skating much more pleasurable. After a few hours my knees begin to hurt, as usual. This is when you know it's time to take a break. So I took a break and shot pho­ tos of my friends skating. It's so hard some­ times because you rarely get a good photo­ graph out of a whole roll of film. I think I got a couple of good ones however. As it got later and the bones hurt worse, we unanimously decided to head back to Boone. Before everyone left, we gathered around the television like kids and a Christ­ mas tree to watch the Deluxe skate video. Deluxe is a company out of San Francisco. Before we knew it, it was late so we exchanged addresses and everyone was on their way back. Everything is quiet now.

Am I I- I- ILLEGALLY PARKED?" Easy does it, there, sweaty. One way you can know absolutely is to pick up your very own copy of the rules at the campus secu­ rity office, next to the State Farm parking lot. There you can pick up a booklet that clears up any ambiguities while outlining all the rules concerning parking stickers, tickets, time zones and anything else you would want to know. For instance, did you know that parking in front of a dorm with your flashers on is tantamount to saying, "Here I am! Give me a ticket!" Some people learn this the hard way by discovering their car has been towed away, but you won't have to worry about this with a knowledge of the rules. Parking near a dorm can even double your chances of being towed if you don't have a proper sticker and are parked in a fire zone or in front of a dumpster. These violations are definite grounds for towing, according to Roy Tiigman, director of public safety and univer­ sity police. Tiigman says the normal proce­ dure leading up to a towing is when a person on foot or motor patrol will call in a violation to the office, and then a wrecker is called. Al­ though it is very tempting and very easy to park illegally on campus, it can be avoided, and this is everybody's wish, including TUgman's. "We would prefer not to have to tow any," says Tugman. If you do find your car suddenly missing, and you may have been parked illegally, then there are a few steps you should take. First, call the watchful eye that probably called you in. This could be campus security, a manage­ ment company, or a landlord. Ask if a car was towed, and give a general description of your car. If this doesn't work, go through the yel­ low pages (under "Towing" or "Automotive") and call individual wrecker companies. Start with the most-advertised ones and then go down the rest of the list. If this doesn't work, call the police because your car has either been stolen, or is driving around by itself. Once you track down your car, get a ride or walk to the garage with either a credit card or at least $50 in cash. Most garages don't accept checks, and sometimes will charge a storage fee after the first 24 hours. If you feel your car has been wrongly towed (an extreme minority of cases, but possible), the dispute can often be settled with hard evidence indi­ cating that you actually were parked legally. Although there are things that can be done to avoid a tow, none are better than preven­ tion. Knowing where and when to park along with being careful are simple steps often not considered until after the fact, which can be several dollars too late. Don't let Old Reliable become a statistic; learn the rules. Poetry in the lounge Leah Rubin Reporter Talent comes in all forms. On Thursday, Jan. 25, students got to­ gether at the Alpine lounge to share their poetry and short stories. Broadsides, a literary publication for students, sponsors these open-mike readings. Megan Crouch, editor of Broadsides, hopes more students will come. "I hope this will encourage stu­ dents to pursue their creative inter­ ests." Many of the students who attend the readings are English majors, but all students are welcome. Jenny L. Rehbeine, a sophomore from Cary says, "I come to hear my boyfriend read his poetry." The audience shows a great deal of interest for the people reading their poetry. Sophomore Scott A. Heflin says, "I like coming to the poetry read­ ings because I enjoy the relaxed atmo­ sphere." There are many interesting styles of poetry being read by students. Al­ though students offer support for one Aubrey £ Derryberry reads her poetry in the Alpine Lounge. (Photo by Leah Rubin) another, these readings are in danger of being stopped due to a lack of funding. Not only were there first-time readers at read - especially his friends.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In one place the claim is "Urban Survival Syndrome," where the stresses of living in today's inner cities has been used as justification for murder, while elsewhere a man claims "Adopted Child Syndrome," a supposed mental ill­ ness caused by being given up for adoption, as justifica­ tion for a string of brutal killings of prostitutes. This list of excuses goes on and is growing even as you read this. I'm certainly not saying that there are no abused or battered children or women. Furthermore, I'm not saying that there are not cases in which abuse is an acceptable reason for killing. What I am saying is that there is an outrageous number of bogus excuse claims in our courts, and because these false defenses are so often successful, criminals become more daring with their crimes because they know that all they have to do is claim abuse and they'll never have to serve a day in prison.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Whatever the" reason, he joins a group of men who ! left the Southern Conference and hit* j the ground running. Coach Bobby Ross of the NFEs San Diego Chargers (formerly of j 1990 co-champ Georgia Tech) headed the Citadel's team in the 1970s. William & Mary, a Southern member from 1936-77, saw both Buffalo's Marv Levy and the Univer­ sity of Notre Dame's Lou Holtz pass " through its locker room doors in suc­ ceeding terms as head coach. This is a man who's had success wherever he has gone, so keep an \ eye on Georgia football. There's no telling where Donnan could be in five or 10 years. ti ?

The best bet is the latter. How many teams, even ones with minimal pressure to perform well, keep every key player injuryfree for an entire season in any sport? The Bulls are in everyone's crosshairs. They have to expect that every team they play is going to play three times harder than usual, and over an 82-game schedule, some of those gung-ho players are going to cause damage.

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

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

Cooper is in the Hospitality Man­ agement Society of America, vice president of the Wesley Foundation, and induction chair of Gamma Beta Phi. Jeremy Brees signs in at the Infirmary after hours.

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

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

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

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

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

A- movie, from "Row in tho l4r*/-»4" L. A "Boyz in the Hood" £ad 1 * — Presidents." Most of the time the JCflU _ CC o lar e mivorl lis pays off, but a larcro mixed knn of 8 bag «C hes simply don't work. Co-writer Shawn Wayans stars as "Ash• a good kid who dreams of leaving the j that he's just moved in to. His cousin is tog (played by Marlon Wayans, who's also writer), a gun-toting goofball who wears ags and pacifiers in his hair. "Don't Be a tta ... yatta ... yatta ..." follows these two ins as they try and make it through an, week in their neighborhood. Che best running gag is The Man, the erious white guy who single-handedly causes every problem in America, from fram­ ing O. J. to killing college kids and starting riots. Unfortunately, this great spoof on para­ noia is forgotten halfway through the movie. The Wayanses also show bravery by spoof­ ing the Black Muslim movement and other empowerment groups. The pessimistic theme in most "Hood" movies also gets a good work­ ing over. If you can't catch the joke lessons by yourself, older brother and comedy mentor Keenan Ivory Wayans jumps in the picture and yells "Message!" to clear up any confusion. Be on the lookout for the actors from the movies that are being spoofed. For example, "Higher Learning" star Omar Eeps plays that college kid who gets shot by The Man. "Don't Have a Long and Confusing Title if I Have to Review You" (as I prefer to call it) putters out in the end, practically screaming to be shorter and wiser. All in all, this is far better material than anything Mel Brooks has put out in years. His movies are a real "men­ ace to society." This is a movie you could sit back and enjoy while drinking your juice in the hood...or the theater (whatever). Grade: B- \/lagnum 'Opus' ve Mackay orter lust as 1996 is starting out, Hollywood is y turning out some leftover 1995 movies ire true Oscar contenders. "Mr. Holland's " (Rated PG) is just that, an emotionally ag movie that celebrates the very best in uman spirit. lichard Dreyfuss stars as Glenn Holland, h school music teacher who can easily with his students, but can't communiIrith his deaf son. set over a 30-year period, "Opus" starts ; early '60s with Holland as a young, crass who takes on the chore of teaching high jlers as a way to earn some cash (Insert Come on!" laugh here). Overtime, Holland's attitude changes and tcomes the most admired teacher at the ol. The students love him because he inB rock 'n' roll in his teachings. His only nemesis is the school's vice prin1, a hard-nose, who thinks rock music is spawn of Satan. This guy bears a strong resemblance to the psychotic D-FENS from "Falling Down." As Holland immerses himself in school, he lets his duties as husband and parent slide to his wife (Gleanne Headly of "Dick Tracy"). His greatest challenge is trying to share his music with his son. It takes many years for him to realize that his son may not be able to hear the music, but can still feel it. Dreyfuss has played piano man before in movies like "The Competition," but his per­ formance here is still top notch. Mr. Holland is played as an actual human being with bless­ ings and blemishes. Rarely do we see a man this real in movies. This is a character that the audience can actually care about. Director Stephen Herek ("The Mighty Ducks") orchestrates "Opus" with ease, letting the story pull our heart strings. Most direc­ tors go overboard and practically play a vio­ lin, hoping that it will push the feelings of the movies. No help is needed here. There is plenty of humor to balance out the serious subject matter, making this film perfect for the entire family. Grade: A the Drag: anything but John Starling Staff Writer With Britain and America separated by an ocean, it's no surprise that these two coun­ tries have developed their own distinctive rock and roll trends over the past two years. While America has been reeling from the effect of the Nirvana-induced grunge movement, Brit­ ain has been experiencing a revival of sorts. Recent exports from the island nation, such as Blur and Oasis, have been hearken­ ing back to the pure pop sounds of the Beatles. It was inevitable that these two styles come together in some fashion. What's amazing is that a band from South Carolina are the pur­ veyors of this unlikely blend. Meet the Drag. The Drag is awaiting the release of their first LR Satellites Beaming Back At You, in April on their new label, Island Records. This Myrtle Beach-based band is cur­ rently in the middle of a break-neck club tour across the southeast. Building a fan base? Spreading the Brit-pop gospel? Perhaps yes, to both questions. Will they succeed? Most definitely. The album distinctly reeks of the afore­ mentioned blend, with vocals reminiscent of British bands and dirgey guitar parts that bring to mind Seattle. Unquestionably, the Drag leans more toward the British persua­ sion. This album is so addictive that you'll go into withdrawals if you don't get at least one spin a day out of it. The opener, "Quiet Feel," starts off with a slow, drippy guitar arpeggiation then crashes into a full throttle chord attack. Some of the tracks never go beyond the clean British sound. Witness "Our Race Cars" and "Ster­ ling." Cuts like "Eat Your Heart Out" and the epic, "Fountainbleau," keep the album inter­ esting with different tempos and sounds. There really aren't enough good things to say about this band. The songs stick in your head like a bullet. The most amazing quality of this band is their ability to Americanize a decidedly British genre. While Blur and Oasis have had only me­ diocre success as imports, the fact that the Drag are American and do Brit-pop better than their accented brethren almost assure them a mas­ sive following here and abroad. The closest the Drag will be to Boone is the Alternative Pub in Asheville on February 10. This may be one of the one of the last times you'll be able to catch them up-close and personal. Don't miss it: the/11 Drag you into their poppy world. Photo provided by Island records. The Appalachian is seeking sales reps.

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

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

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

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

Blimling's office. The new policy, which was put into tton 12:01 a.m. Wednesday Jan. 17, states [•authorized personnel, such as University te.may conduct a search of a resident hall p when they have reasonable cause to bei occupants have illegal drugs." The university reserves the right to aand search a student's room with or witha search warrant under the policies and adures outlined in the new policy. The old policy allowed police searches only with a search warrant given through the city, which caused many near misses in the university po­ lice seizing illegal substances. Through the new policy, university police only need reasonable cause to search a resident's room. Campus police, judicial affairs, resi­ dence life and housing, University Attorney Dayton Cole, and the office of Vice Chancellor Blinding were in charge of updating the search and seizure policy. According to Capt. Larry C. Foster, university police investigator, one of the pri­ mary reasons the search and seizure policy was updated was because of the increasing drug use of students on campus. According to Blinding, the university dealt with as many drug violations last semester as they did all last year. "I think the new policy is great," said Foster. "It allows us (the university police) to enforce the policy to contain and control the drug problem on campus." According to the paperwork handed out by residence life, reasonable cause is listed, but is not limited to, smoke or odor of smoke coming from a room; other noxious odors; or the un­ accounted for, prolonged ab­ sence of the resident(s) of the living quarters pursuant to a concern lor their welfare. 'The new search and seizure policy is a step in the right direction," said Richard L. Geis, director of residence life. "It is an edu­ cational tool to make students aware of the consequences of their actions." T h e room search pro­ cess states that authorized per­ sonnel are free to seize illegal sub­ stances, contra­ band or stolen property in "plain view," per­ mitted to search rooms if there is reasonable ground for suspi­ cion, to inform residents of the search being conducted anu to offer residents the option of a voluntary search. 'The new search and seizure policy is a step in the right direction. It is an educational tool to make students aware of the consequences of their actions." —Richard L. Geis, director of residence life. "Our intent is to identify as many people as possible and do what we can to make sure they stop abusing drugs or that they are expelled from the university," said Blinding. "Since the policy has been in effect, we have been able to identify the largest number of people [abusing the policy] in any single week." According to Foster, when an illegal substances found in general areas of the room, like the refrigerator, both residents of the room will be written up, if the substance is not claimed by one roommate. However, if either student believes their rights have been violated due to false accusations, they should report the incident to the Director of Housing, Brad­ ley W. Keid. "The new search and seizure policy is taxing a more progressive campaign tuvvaiu the end of the drug problem on this campus," said Geis.

Also contributing to the record rid­ ership was the early activation of ski shuttles for Sugar Mountain Resort. Although these shuttles usually do not begin operating until after Christmas, early winter weather prompted AppalCART to begin their ski shuttles a month early, adding 2,288 passen­ ger trips. AppalCART receives nearly half of its annual revenue from the university, which con­ tributed $222,102 to the transportation system during fiscal 1993-94.

Currently, the department has 15 fulltime non-administrative faculty and 13 adjunct members, over 700 majors and from 30 to 50 declared minors, and controls 5.5 classroomstwo in Wey Hall and four in Walker Hall. One of the classrooms in Walker is shared with math. Communication courses are also taught in two non-controlled classrooms in Chapell Wilson and Raley Hall. According to Dorgan, the Communi­ cation Department is the only academic de­ partment on campus that is formally split be­ tween two buildings. Dr. Glenda J.

Through this grant, AppalCART receives operating assistance through state and fed­ eral funds. Local funds are also utilized to make up any additional differences. AppalCART was founded in 1981 as the Watauga County Transportation Author­ ity (WCTA). The following year, the WCDA absorbed AppalCART, the once exclusive transportation system of Appalachian. Adopt­ ing the AppalCART name and logo, the WCTA changed its name after it was made autono­ mous of the county government in 1986.

She said it is difficult, but especially so when classes are to be taught back-to-back in different buildings. "It cuts into class time," said Dorgan. Carolyn D. Howser, instructor for the department, said she also had similar problems with having classes back-to-back in different buildings with 10-minute breaks. She felt one problem this presented was students could come in early to see professors.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Yesterday, [Dec. 17] Haitians enjoyed their first demo­ cratic presidential election since the return of Aristide. I was leading a patrol in the capital of Port-au-Prince for 13 hours during the elections. Did we carry missiles and in­ timidate Haitian voters? NO! Let me tell you how we spent our patrol on election day. My patrol, consisting of seven Military Police, two ve­ hicles, and one interpreter was taking a rest stop at a local gas station.

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

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

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

Denzel Washington versus Gene Hackman - talk about sparks1 Reporter The year of 1995 has ended and the word is out; it wasn't a very good year for movies. Still, there was a strong enough crop to war­ rant a best-of list. Below are my picksfor those 10 outstanding films, followed by the worst. Many 1995 releases have yet to come to North Carolina, which simply put, stinks. 10. "BABE" is the splendid tale of a talk­ ing pig who longs to be a sheepdog. This laugh-a-minute miracle is for children of all ages, from 1 to 101 and beyond. 9. "A LITTLE PRINCESS" is the best liveaction children's film of the year, but it was crushed by bigger, louder commercial films. Full of magic and imagination, this is a not so little gem. 8. "THE ENGLISHMAN WHO WENT UP A HILL BUT CAME DOWN A MOUNTAIN" has the longest title of the year, but it's also one of the wittiest. A charming peak at a Welsh town that literally makes a mountain out of a hill. 7. "ROB ROY," inspired by the legendary Scottish hero, is a rousing adventure that ex­ cels even further with the best (and most vio­ lent) climax of the year. 6. "MR. HOLLAND'S OPUS," an emotional story of a musician dealing with his son's deaf­ ness, is a wonderful film that celebrates the best in the human spirit. 5. "CRIMSON TIDE" is not only the year's most suspenseful thriller, it has one of the bi 1 psih smEs insulins ccnrcn © is s l o p e s Thursday Is q susidbssbi nenims 4. Mel Gibson's "BRAVEHEART," the other great Scottish epic of the year, is a bone-crush­ ing, glorious film about the war leader who died to gain freedom. 3. "NIXON" may be all truth or just pulp fiction, but Oliver Stone has created yet an­ other cinematic wonder. An extra vote for Anthony Hopkins, who may win a second Os­ car. 2. Tom Hanks goes even higher with "APOLLO 13," an eye-popping blast about the 1970 trip to the moon that went ka-boom. Any movie that has the heroes using slide rulers is a winner in my book. 1. The funhouse event of the year is "TOY STORY," Disney's computer-animated master­ piece about a cowboy (again Hanfe5 and a space ranger(Tim Allen). This is the best look at the imagination of children ever put into a movie intended for children. The little boy inside me can't help but applaud in wonder. Other 1995 winners include "Get Shorty," "Twelve Monkeys," "Seven" and "The Usual Suspects." Now, my beloved list of 1995 movies that 1 found so appallingly bad they still keep me up at night with the shakes. 10. If King Arthur were still alive and he saw "FIRST KNIGHT," he'd die from shame. This epic dud ignores the magic, the sins and the drama. Richard Gere was there though. Ugh! 9. "THE PROPHECY-,s ror, gore and special effects x, d member to toss in a coherent , 0 7 8.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Austin, 27-17 David Willis Sports Editor Appalachian State finished its finest sea­ son of football ever on Saturday with all-out performance against Stephen F. Austin. "We knew we had a tremendous chal­ lenge," said SFA Head Coach John Pearce fol­ lowing Saturday's game. "They (Appalachian) are a class act and this is how college football should be." The Mountaineers had a great season and in many opinions this was the best ASU team ever. The Mountaineers ended with a 12-1 record, the best ever at ASU. The gridiron squad also broke several all-time Appalachian records and too many personal bests to men­ tion. The team set a new record for rushing touchdowns in a year with 35, surpassing the old mark of 34 set back in 1968. The offense also set new marks with 4,853 yards of total offense on 928 attempts, gaining 249 first downs. There were also many personal bests bro­ ken this season. Offensively, Scott Satterfield of Hillsborough, became the third all-time Mountaineer in total offense with 5,534 yards. Satterfield threw for 1,461 yards this season and rushed for another 649, making him the all-time leading rusher as a quarterback. Other bests included Damon Scott of Ce­ dar Grove, who rushed for 1,468 yards and 16 TDs, Aldwin Lance of Shallotte caught 37 passes for 366 yards and rushed for another 583. Scott Kadlub of Palm Harbor, Fla. tied a school record by not allowing a single quar­ terback pressure all year. Jay Sutton of Wingate, set a new record for points by a "They (Appalachian} are ! kicker and second alltime with 98 points in a a class act and this is season.

Tony Perry of Winston-Salem, had 87 stops on the year, Marvin Hodge of Raleigh had 91 stops on the year, Clarence Sutton of Chicago had 75 tackles, and Chip Miller of Pi­ geon Forge, Tenn. had 71 stops. Over the past few weeks, the publicity ana expectations began to mount. The faculty stu­ dent, and alumni support became more and more prevalent and widespread. All the sup­ port and backing of this football team could not have been more evident than in the final seconds of Saturday's game when the fans be­ gan to yell, "ASU, ASU."

If you were there, or happened to catch Besides Coach Tom Apke and the rest of gajpe pfttehjyision^vou know that's the team, most of the 7,831screaming Moun­ , exactly what the Yelfcwjackftjs did - put on a taineer fans in Varsity Gymnasium on Satur­ show. The number 16 team in the country dominated the undersized and overmatched Mountaineers 89-65. Things looked dim for the Mountaineers right from the start when Junior Braswell had the ball stolen by. freshman phenom Stephon Marbuiy who pushed the ball down-court, then pulled up and sank a 10-foot jumper with all the ease of Michael Jordan try­ ing to slam over Muggsy Bogues. Marbury scored four more before the Mountaineers finally got on the board on an inside shot by Clint Crosston that sent the home crowd into a frenzy. It was possibly the first time in the history of college basket­ ball that a crowd had ever been so excited about losing 18-2. The place got even more pumped when the Yellowjackets lost possesion of the ball in their end of the court and Braswell took the ball down and hit a 17-footer to bring the Mountaineers within 14. Unfourtunately, 14 was as close as the Mountaineers would get for the rest of the day. ASU went into the locker room at halftime down 44-17 and in desperate need of a center the size of Shaquille O'Neil to help stop foward Matt Harpring who grabbed 12 re­ Junior Braswell (24) drives between two defenders in the losing effort against Georgia Tech last bounds and scored 17 points in the half. Saturday. Braswell had 17 points as the leading scorer for ASU. (photo by Rhett Butler) Instead, the* Mike Daniels HPflmll \j i Mountaineers came out in the second half and continued to get beat on the boards. Harpring racked up four more in the second half, to fin­ ish the game with 16, while bringing his point total for the game to 21 by sinking threes and stuffing home slams. Meanwhile, the leading rebounder for Appalachian, Blair Adderly, pulled down a meager seven. It would be scary to think how many rebounds the Yellowjackets would have had if they had somebody playing center. Ac­ cording to ex-Appalachian head coach, and present Georgia Tech Head Coach Bobby Cremmins, who was honored with the ASU Alumni Award before the game, the Yellowjackets have no real center. Yet the Mountaineers did seem to pick up their game somewhat in second half. Cremmins said, "They got loose in the second half and played with us." The fact that the Mountaineers managed to score a respectable 48 points in the half is evidence of that. With less than she minutes left in the game the Mountaineers had pulled back within 20 of the Yellowjackets. But Appalachian could not get any closer than that, and when the fi­ nal buzzer sounded, the home team had lost 89-65. The leading scorer for the Mountaineers was Braswell who scored 11 in the second half to finish with 17. Other Mountaineers in double figures in points were Adderley and Kareem Livingston, who each scored 11 points in the game. Georgia Tech had five players in double digits. The leader of course was Harpring who was followed by Marbury and Drew Barry, who each had 15. Juan Gaston scored 12 off the bench for the jackets and 6-8 foward Michael Maddox contributed 10 points. Appalachian Head Coach Tom Apke said the Mountaineers might have been a little ner­ vous since this was the first time "...they have been in a top game on TV with a ranked team." Apke said that the team was too intense in the begining of the game and that "Once we got down, we had people trying to over compete." Which is probably to be expected. This game marked the first time an ACC team had ever played in Varsity Gymnasium, so its not often that the Mountaineers get to play a school like Georgia Tech in front of their own fans. Hopefully the team will use this as a learn­ ing experience. After all, the team's next ACC opponent,Wake Forest, may be an even tougher challenge than the Yellowjackets were. Lady Apps travel west for tourney Darryl Stevens Staff Writer As most of us were still digesting the re­ mains of our gluttony and enjoying a deserved vacation, the Appalachian State women's bas­ ketball team was out west, tipping off in the State Farm Classic. Host Montana State University, nation­ ally ranked Florida, and Wyoming joined ASU for the holiday hoops. On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, the Lady Mountaineers (1-1) bounced back from an opening-round loss to No. 24 Florida, beat­ ing Wyoming 75-60. All-Tournament selection Shannon Spen­ cer averaged 17 points and six assists for Appalachian's two games. After five turnovers Friday in ASU's 73-71 loss, Spencer played the point flawlessly against Wyoming, with three steals and no giveaways. Melissa Davis' three-pointer with 15 sec­ onds left in the Florida game raised Appala­ chian State to a 71-70 advantage. But Jackie Wright answered for the Gators with one tick remaining, banking in a trey of her own. Appalachian climbed back from an 11point deficit early in the second half. Capped by a Spencer three-point shot at the sevenminute mark, ASU engineered a 12-4 run to go ahead by two. Tournament MVP Mahogany Hudson scored nine of her 22 from that point for Florida, who went on to beat Montana State in the final. The Lady Moutaineers returned to Worthington Arena Saturday for the conso­ lation game versus Wyoming, again falling behind early in the game. Spencer's five points and five rebounds in the first half brought ASU back to claim a 31-30 lead at recess. Despite 16 second half points from Wyoming's Jesseca Cross, Appalachian stretched to a 59-42 cushion that the Lady Cowboys couldn't puncture.

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

The teams battled back and forth until Catawba finally tied the score at 87-87 with 0:28 remaining on a Keith Henning layup. The Mountaineers called timeout to regroup. The timeout worked as Hege nailed a three pointer with just 0:11 left to give ASU the final margin. Braswell, Livingston, and Damer all finished with 18 points. Braswell also finished with four rebounds, eight assists, and no turnovers. Blocker fin­ ished the game with nine boards.

Short of physical violence, which is becoming more frequent, the use of language, either oral or in writing, to threaten violence against people on the basis of their status or lifestyle, is antithetical to the basic core of each person.

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

Lance, a 21-year-old 5 foot 7 inch Lfting fullback for the ASU Mountaineers, hs arrested after turning himself in to the campus police on Nov. 16. After appearing before the magistrate, he was released on $500 unsecured bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 5, when, according to district attorney James T. Rusher, the case will go to trial if the lawyers are ready. The warrant stems from a report made to University Police by Crosby on Sept. 18. Crosby said in an interview Hiesday with The Appalachian that after having dinner in Trivette Hall with a friend, she was walking back to her residence hall alone and had got­ ten as far as the wall in front of Justice Hall when a black male wearing a football jersey grabbed her by the arm and started talking to her. "He askee me 'What's a pretty girl like you walking by yourself for?'" Crosby said. Crosby said he then pulled her down to sit next to him on the wall and began feeling her arm, leg and back, all the while trying to convince her to come up to his room to "have some fun." "That's whenI knew I had to get out Lance of there," said Crosby. "A million different things were going through my mind on what I could do to get away." When Crosby saw some­ one she knew, she called out to him and the man let her go. Crosby said she immediately went back to her residence hall where she told her RA. The RA called the campus police, who interviewed Crosby in the lobby of the hall. Crosby said she told the police what happened and gave a description of the man. She picked Lance out of a photo lineup, but decided not to pursue the warrant at the time. Crosby said she was intimidated by University Police into not filing an official re­ port. "The way the police handled it made me feel it just wasn't right," Crosby said. "What bothered me must was (Capt. Foster) asked me what I'd been wearing. I knew then they weren't taking me seriously at all." On Nov. 11, Crosby attended an off- campus party with some friends, when she saw Lance. "I just turned around," said Crosby, "and he was right there." According to the report filed with Boone police on the Nov. 11 incident, Lance was being escorted by other guests out of the party for causing a disturbance and allegedly grabbed Crosby around the waist. After talking with her father, Crosby decided to pursue the case in reference to the Sept. 18 incident. Crosby swore out a warrant on Nov. 15. Lance turned himself in to cam­ pus police the next morning at 9 a.m. Lance has declined to comment on either incident. Head coach Jerry Moore said at this point he has no reason to pursue any disci­ plinary action, ana that Lance wiii continue to play in all play-off games.

Stove causes room fire in Justice Allison Pennell Issistant News Editor A fire in Justice Residence Hall on iv. 20 left the resident of room 200 with secd degree burns. The student was taken to fatauga Medical Center to receive treatment, rcording to Capt. Larry C. Foster of Univerfty Police. The cause of the fire was accidental »nature. A small breakdown backpack stove ias in use and fuel was in the process of beng added to the supply bottle. Fuel was spilled t and ignition occurred from the open flame on the stove. The student, a freshman, involved with the fire received second degree bums and was taken to Watauga Medical Center, said Foster. Scott Ranger, assistant director of residence life, arrived on the scene about 30 minutes after the fire began and said there was smoke and dust and it looked as though a lot of personal belongings had been damaged. Carpet and clothing had been on fire and tiles were burned. Ranger said the RA of the floor used the fire extinguisher and basically took care of the fire himself before the fire department ar­ rived. During the 90-minute evacuation, he said many students took advantage of the closeness of Gardner and Coltrane Halls. Ranger said the evacuation was so lengthy because it took the firemen a while to clear out the smoke and search for the cause of the fire. He said it appearred the appliance had been hidden.

According to the survey, the second highest reason Afri­ can-American students gave for leaving Appalachian be­ fore graduation was a feel­ ing of alienation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Over 1,700 signatures of students, faculty and staff that supported the Loft were gathered in less than 48 hours. 6. At present, 32 requests to stay at the Loft have been turned down for Spring 1996 due to a lack of available space. 7. The present owners bought the en­ tire building for $30,000. It is now worth $22 million. Now is the time to buy. Ed Midgett Associate Professor Department of Art The point of all this rambling is that ASU absolutely needs this loft. There's nothing like a trip to New York City to open an undergraduate's eyes to the possibilities out there. It also gives students a chance to learn that folks in NYC are just as big a bunch of goobers as the folks back home. Do whatever it takes. Use a little imagination. Cut the chancellor's sal­ ary. Make the basketball team wash their own uniforms. Have a bake sale. Let a group of business majors make a class project out of figuring out hpw the loft can turn a profit. Let a group of volunteer students stay there free for a week in exchange for painting the place and fixing the toilets. And most importantly, promote the damn thing. People won't stay there if they don't know it exists. The NYC loft is one of the best things ASU has going for it. Let's be farsighted enough to realize that and do whatever is necessary to keep it.

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

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

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

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

(Photos by Stuart Crampton) ' 60 students that did the leg-work for contri­ butions, which ranged from $1 all the way up to $25,27 spent the entire night outside, where snow still blanketed much of Sanford Mall. When Appalachian's next Annual Cam­ paign Against Hunger and Homelessness comes around and you don't think you can really make a difference, think of sophomores Oliver E M. and Kim E. W. Fresen. A married couple from Germany, Oliver and Kim alone raised $530 (that's not a typo) by asking any­ one and everyone to either sponsor them or to donate whatever they could afford. Said Oliver, "I'm just glad to know there are people around here that really care about the hungry and the homeless." Other organizations offered their services to help make the night a success. Because the snowstorm at the beginning of the week raised concern for the welfare of the crusade's par­ ticipants, Outdoor Programs loaned tents free of charge to help students weather the ele­ ments and stay warm. While Outdoor Programs kept students warm on the outside, Food Services kept stu­ dents warm on the inside by providing bot­ tomless cups of coffee and hot chocolate. Chesapeake and Boone Bagelries donated bags and bags and bags of bagels to make sure the big-hearted campaigners weren't in condi­ tions too similar to the hungry and the home­ less. Although Domino's didn't donate money to the cause, they did throw in some "dough" of their own; it came (in 30 minutes or less) in the much appreciated form of fresh pizza. Said Charlotte junior and Habitat for Hu­ manity co-president JeanneM. Garber, "Ithink the way area businesses contributed to the event is very much in congruence with how the homeless are actually treated here in Wa­ tauga County." Thanks to SGA, ACT and Habitat for Humanity, Appalachian's Annual Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness was a huge success. The $2,500 raised will be used by the Hospitality House, the Hunger Coalition, Habi­ tat for Humanity and O.A.S.I.S. to help those in our area in need of shelter and food. "Even though we raised over $2,000,1 think it would have been just as impressive if we had only collected $200," said junior Renaldo "Robby" M. Chase from Raleigh. "It's really encouraging that we raised a lot of money, but it's even better that we drew people's attention to the problems of hunger and homelessness... I think that was really the goal," said sophomore Gregory M. Bonito from Raleigh. Many students commented on the tremen­ dous spirit of unity during the "sleep-out." "It's kind of an intoxicating feeling out here with what we're doing and with the togetherness that you can sort of sense," said freshman see Homeless page 10 Not just a cup of Joe anymore Natalie Kozin Reporter Cappuccino, cafe latte, espresso, gourmet coffee, Mexican hot chocolate, chocolate cov­ ered coffee beans...If any of these are tanta­ lizing your taste buds, then this article was written for you. Before you jump into your car and dash off to a coffee shop, there are some factors to consider. First, you have a choice between beansTalk and Espresso News. Both are lo­ cated close to Appalachian's campus (beansTalk is on King Street and Espresso News is on Howard St. next to Savannah Joe's). So what are the differences between the two coffee shops? One of the biggest differ­ ences is that Espresso News is completely non­ smoking. This may not seem like much, but many people feel coffee and cigarettes go together like peanut butter and jelly. "Beans don't like smoke," says Espresso News employee Christopher J. Almeida, a se­ nior from Davidson. "They absorb the smoke, even in the sealed jars because the smoke gets trapped when you open them. It can also penetrate through the coffee bags. You can smoke out on the deck." beansTalk, on the other hand, said that smoke rises. That's why they only allow smok­ ing on the second level, and on the upstairs deck. The prices also vary. A small cup of cof­ fee at Espresso News is $.94, and large cup is $1.27. At beansTalk, the coffee of the day is offered for $.75, but flavored coffee is $1.00. At Espresso News, they have free refills. At beansTalk, if you buy two cups of coffee, the third one is free. As hard as it is to imagine, parking is an issue. beansTalk doesn't have a designated parking lot. In fact, the employees don't even have a legal space to park. Sara G. Whitlow, an employee at beansTalk, said, "When I would work 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.,I would have to move my car every hour to a new parking spot." Espresso News does have a parking lot, not very big, but they are all legal spaces. If you are claustrophobic, then you might prefer to go to Espresso News. With its check­ ered floor and bay windows, one gets a sense of openness. beansTalk, although it doesn't have an see Coffee page 10 beansTalk (top) is located on King Street across from the Presbyterian church parking lot.

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

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

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

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

The 4-7 1993 sea­ son was tough for Lance because he had not been on a losing team. Now that he looks back and compares it to this season, Lance is especially proud to be a Mountaineer. "Experiencing that loss and knowing how it feels, being at your worst, really makes this season even better." Three games away from the end of his final season, Lance admits he doesn't realize his career is coming to an end. He said, "Coach told us that we don't know what we've done. It hasn't hit us yet." Lance is considering moving to New York to pursue a career in his major, chemistry. mates he's leaving behind. "You have to wait, be patient, and wait your turn," says Gilliam, "work hard and you will accomplish your goals." Gilliam's cousin, Gerald Dixon with the Cleveland Browns, has encouraged Gilliam to work hard at whatever he does. "He knows how hard it is to make it to the pros," said Gilliam. Gilliam does not plan on following in his cousin's footsteps. He will graduate in May with a psychology degree. Furthering his education, he plans to attend graduate school at the University of South Carolina or Clemson. As for his last season with the Mountaineers, Gilliam says, Tm tak­ ing each game one by one. It comes down to who wants to win." Gilliam also made the statement that sometimes athletes are looked down upon. "We're not getting hand­ outs, we work hard." He also com­ mends the fans and thanks them for their support. "1 was so cold playing in the Western Carolina game. Iknow the fans were freezing because they were just sitting there, not able to move around. I greatly thank them. They are the true fans."

During the 1992 season he got his first career start in the James Madison game. He picked up 145 yards rushing on 34 attempts and nine kickoff returns for 172 yards. McLain was named Southern Confer­ ence Freshman of the Week for his performance at the James Madison game. He scored his first touchdown in the Tenn-Chattanooga game on a 32 yard gain.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Remember what Mom taught yo; Vanessa Urruela Columnist I've come to realize that all those things my mother tried to ingrain in me as far as etiquette goes, were more than just reasons to get on my case. What has led me to this discovery is daily observation of behavior around campus. I could simply list the many broachings of good taste and common courtesy, but I'd much rather elaborate. These things have been let go much too long. We are all too far away from our mothers, to remember them all the time, I guess. When you walk through a door, how hard is it to reach back to hold it open a little longer so the per­ son walking behind you doesn't get smacked in the face? It's such a small motion that helps people out. Doesn't it irk you when a door starts to close right behind the lazy person in front of you? The post office is the place that I've seen the most rude behavior take place. How many times have you walked through the main door only to be halted by people standing in the way socializing? There is always a steady stream of traffic through those doors yet people seem to want to be social butterflies, while the rest of us try to get by. Does anyone really have time to spend in this part of our campus? I rarely mosey into the post office with lots of time to spend waiting behind people who don't under­ stand that they are in the way or who simply don't care. I'm always tempted to whap them over the head with the piles of bills I always seem to get. Another pet peeve of mine is the people who in­ sist on coming out of those little rows of hallways where the boxes are, hugging the wall. Isn't this world based on the "stay to your right" way of motion? I've countlessly bumped into people coming out of there as I hurry along trying to check my mail and still make it to a class. If they would be polite enough to remember to stay to their right, this wouldn't happen. What's the deal with people reading their mail as they walk toward the main doors, too? Talk about being in the way. There is a time for everything and as you walk out of the post office the next time, remember to read your mail later. Save it in your backpack as reading material to browse during your next hour of free time. The AppalCart brings on a few more examples of thoughtless behavior on campus. When on the AppalCart is impolite to put your wet umbrella on the seat beside you. Why? Because the person who comes after you will undoubtedly sit there long after you are gone and get a wet be­ hind as a result. The same goes for putting gum on chairs or benches. Along these lines, when the AppalCart is in mo­ tion, it is highly dangerous and totally rude to step in front of it. Pedestrians have the right of way except when a large bus is heading in his or her direction at over 20 mph. It is not funny when your walking across the street in front of the bus sends it to a screeching halt. Try not to do this when regular cars are heading your way too. When you walk through a door, how hard is it to reach back to hold it open a little longer? In class, I've witnessed several things fa ^ I'd never been privy to. Gum chewing has got toXrt worst thing to have to listen to when trying to i»X tion in class. Not only is it disgusting when done '• -11 is also distracting. One way to know whether or are chewing loudly is to stop and listen to it. if,a w hardly hear the professor over your jaws, you arf too loud. Similarly, why is it that there almost alwaw to be that one student who takes like 10 minutes to package of crackers all the while trying to ward ofli from the rest of the class? Just open it before eyoiid the room. Easy enough. Among many cultural faux paus I've seen one that never fails to happen. When going to a Farthing, it is impolite to enter the auditorium show has started. Wait until the intermission ti you are late. The light that comes in through*! and the commotion one causes when trying top one's seat is distracting to both performers and: ence. This isn't just a pet peeve of mine, it in etiquette. Go to Lincoln Center and you'll net, kind of thing happen. In the study rooms in the new studeiturn il k' in the study sections of the library it is way outoilineiju Mjlu and talk to people. When you do this you take aw; personal right to concentration that people go tod# eas for. Next time you have the urge to chat, _ (t where else, just not the post office or these areas. t All these things seem like petty complair: they can add up to be pretty unpleasant when you N|mr more than a few of them each day. Why can't pecj^ member just a few of the things their mothers tok e ( while they're in public? The Appalachian community ,01, be much more comfortable if people could be po j |(j remember logical things like entering and exiting rect doors. Polite is as polite does. nrkil t Beware of junk mail on nterne •me Jasi per. -t: Jason Wilkinson Assistant Editorials Editor Students, herein I will describe a tale so twisted, so frightening, that it will persuade even the hardest of hearts to shudder from the sheer wickedness of the monitor people and the diabolical mailing list. I will start at the beginning. I was dog-paddling around on the internet and decided to look up a band, Smashing Pumpkins. I don't really remember doing it, but appar­ ently I then did something no one should ever do. I sub­ scribed to a mailing list. It was put sort of indirectly, like "would you like to be informed when this page is updated?" Sounds harmless enough, eh? Sure, I want to be updated. "Updated" means "in touch", right? I'm hip, like Detail magazine. Poor unsuspecting fool was I. The next day I get about 200 letters concerning Smash­ ing Pumpkins. Mind you, this is about 200 hundred let­ ters a day about a single subject. There is nothing, not even the Highlander series, that I care enough about to want to hear about it 200 times a day. So, naturally I try to get off the mailing list. I send in a polite little letter asking to be taken off the list. I get about 197 letters back the next day, the 64th one telling me to get off the list myself. I naturally have no idea how to do this, as I just recently mastered the electric can-opener. So the trend goes on, I keep asking how to get off, they keep sending me letters telling me I'm an idiot. Some of the letters tell me how to unsubscribe from the list, only no two directions are alike, and none of them actually work. These mailing lists were proving to be like a Turkish Prison. But here's the real kicker. Each person on campus has a certain amount of memory, disk quota, file space, magic power, etc. allotted to them. Sometimes, over the week­ ends, I would get so many letters that they would go into some kind of mystical "other than mail" file. The excess of wasn't off the mailing list. The time for drastic measures letters was the essential of e-mail kryptonite, robbing me was near. I knew these people involved with the maiiing of my e-mail power so that eventually it took away my list were a different breed. They had time, and for some disk quota, and I could no longer send e-mail (which was reason the interest, to spend so many man hours reading necessary to get off the mailing list). I got one of the lab about a single subject. I shudder to think about the people assistants to help me at this point, but the only thing he who may be subscribing to more than one list. Basking in and I could figure out was to just give me more disk quota. the erie blue glow of the monitor, they hold contempt for The "other then mail" file can't be accessed or erased (or people who uphold contact to the outside world. The tribe at least we couldn't), hence the mystical qualities I earlier is not friendly to outsiders. I sent a letter telling them how described. this mailing list was the bane of my existence, and how it I had gained back my e-mailing powers, but I still caused me actual physical pain. I got a letter back. It was not friendly, it called me a moron, but it hel< getting off the list. The terror had ended. The mystical fi'e • but it can do no more damage until I fi?ure destroy it. Perhaps a warning as to the natute ^ ing list, describing the sheer quantity of what would have prevented the whole thing.

This organization dedicated to raising awareness (out domestic and other animal isK5. Recently a group of us met with t chairperson of Biology, the head [the labs, and another staff member i discuss alternatives to dissection. Ie made it clear that we are not at•mpting to wipe out dissection on unpus. Rather, we believe that those lting to take Biology should be al|wed to choose not to dissect, withut being penalized. , Many people are not aware of the ict that there are alternatives. Plast models, computer programs, and deos are just a few. These alterna­ tes serve to be educational as well i humane. They have proven to be teaper in the long run because they :usable. They do not have the envimmental impact that the removal of ogs and other animals does on the mounding ecosystem. This depleDn may have an extremely dangeris effect on human life as well. , PAL is aware of the fact that there ;e others out there who do not feel ght about dissecting. This is evident t the article, "Dissection: Not for evlybody and shouldn't have to be." In it, Vanessa Urruela stated that she is an English major and she is taking Bi­ ology simply for her required science credit and because no other science appeals to her. She does not feel dis­ section to be necessary to her own knowledge. She feels it unfair for dis­ section to be forced upon her or oth­ ers who are not Biology majors. She also addresses alternatives and how they would be cheaper for the univer­ sity. She sums up her argument by saying that she is willing to take a fail­ ing lab giade so as to not go against her own beliefs. PAL would like to educate others on the importance of alternatives and choice in the classroom. We do not recognize observing as an alternative to dissecting. It is also significant to note that the use of alternatives is not a revolutionary idea. Several promi­ nent medical schools do not have dis­ section. PAL is thankful for individu­ als like Vanessa Urruela for speaking out against dissection in accordance with her own set of beliefs. Hopefully, others will continue to be heard inside and outside the classroom until alter­ natives are offered. Sarah R.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And we get attitudes like that of or fessional football player, who, when about domestic violence, replied that; in the public spotlight couldn't argue wife; couldn't give her a smack "eve: deserved it." The list is miles long, and the pi media have caught wind of what appe be a dangerous correlation between and ill conduct.

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

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

Accuracy and Public Service since 1936 Alonzo and modern sport's problem Our opinion... I 'rocesses explained After coming under fire on numerous occasions this semester for different aspects of the newspaper's operation, the staff of The Appalachian would like to take this opportunity to explain how some impor­ tant decisions are made on two issues. First, many question the judgement of our staff to run a staff editorial and the decision-making pro­ cess used in writing that column. To address the former, most well-respected, professional newspa­ pers run staff editorials. Look at The Christian Sci­ ence Monitor, for example. As for the latter, the de­ cision on a topic is made at Editorial Board meet­ ings, held twice weekly. The board members' names are listed beneath the "Our Opinion" column in ev­ ery issue. Voting members of the Board include prin­ cipal editors of each section (photography, news, fea­ tures, sports and editorials), the Chief Copy Editor, Managing Editor and the Editor in Chief. Issues for the editorial are discussed and voted on, and then each voting member works on the research and writ­ ing of the column. This is Our Opinion," and we do not claim it is anything more. The purpose of the student newspa­ per is, like any other, to provide readers with infor­ mation, whether strictly news facts or editorial com­ ment, with which the intelligent reader may make their own choice or opinion concerning an issue. Therefore, our opinion on an issue cannot be argued to sway a reader. Secondly, and most recendy, students have ques­ tioned the process by which we accept advertising. The insert for the pro-life movement drew quite a bit of response from our readers; and some response from those who don't read The Appalachian but do notice the trash left around the bins by those who do pick it up. The same process that is used to discuss and decide upon editorial content is used with ads that may be of a sensitive nature. This particular insert was sent to us and voted upon - again by the voting members of the editorial board - as to whether we would allow it to run in our paper. Some of the considerations discussed before de­ ciding to include the ad were whether it was clearly marked as an ad, which it was. Another was whether the ad assumed an informative or accusative stance, and since it was viewed as the former, we voted and decided to run the ad. Quite frankly, a response was expected and welcomed if it was in the form of an intelligent debate, however, the actual response was quite different. Most readers who chose to comment on the ad accused us of being biased in favor of the pro-life option and argued we should have solicited a prochoice advocacy to run an ad at the same time or try to balance the ad's view through editorial comment. Since the information was in a clearly-marked paid advertisement, the views of those who paid are not necessarily the views of the Editorial Board mem­ bers. And, since it was a paid ad which a group brought to us, as any group can, it is not the respon­ sibility of The Appalachian to actively seek out an opposing group to purchase an ad. The "equal time" rule, which many students seemed to be invoking, applies to political candidates, and even then, those candidates must request such time. The Appalachian is a student-run newspaper which strives to operate on a professional level. We are not funded through student fees, but rather are self-supported through ad sales. As such, we hope students will look at us in a professional light and think about professional decision making processes. The Appalachian is published every Tuesday and Thursday of the academic year with the exception of selected holidays and breaks. The Appalachian welcomes letters to the editor. These should be typed, double spaced, and include the author's name, address, phone number and campus affiliation, if any. The Appalachian reserves the right to decline publication of any letter or to edit letters for the purpose of space and clarity. Letters should be de­ livered to the second floor of Plemmons Student Union, or mailed to: Editor, The Appalachian, ASU Box 9025, Boone, NC 28608. E-mail may be sent to TheApp@conrad.appstate.edu. The opinions expressed in The Appalachian are those of in­ dividual columnists and not necessarily those of The Appalachian.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Be aware of concealed weapons laws I ! •'ifi As of Dec. 1,1995, any citizen in the state of North Carolina can apply for a permit to carry a concealed weapon. Though not all of these will be granted due to a background check of all applicants as stated in the ordinance, approximately 650,000 applications are expected within the first year of availability. The editorial board of The Appalachian believes this is bad legislation, however, only limited action can be taken to curb the power it now provides. The ordinance states that concealed weapons, even with a permit, cannot be carried on to state or federal prop­ erty such as courthouses or college campuses. Fur­ ther, it states that concealed weapons cannot be taken into places of business which serve alcohol, whether that be a bar or a grocery store. The ordinance does not, however, prohibit car­ rying concealed weapons into county buildings or private, non-alcoholic places of business. Private businesses can simply put up a sign stating "no con­ cealed weapons allowed" to lawfully deter those with weapons from entering, but individual counties must pass their own ordinance to prohibit concealed weap­ ons in county buildings. The Watauga County Commissioner's Office is planning to have an open meeting pertaining to a county ordinance, but has not announced a date. We would like to encourage everyone in the community of Boone, including students, to attend and demand such an ordinance when the meeting is held. Violence and the threat thereof begets itself. Al­ lowing for concealed weapons is simply perpetuat­ ing this idea, and prohibiting concealed weapons in as many places as possible is the best way left to keep the number of concealed weapons carried to a mini­ mum. If people can not carry weapons with them wherever they go, maybe they will simply leave them at home... or better still, never apply to obtain a per­ mit. One main argument people give for wanting to carry a weapon, whether concealed or not, is for per­ sonal protection. This can be seen as a threat to vio­ lence as well, and as your mom always said, two wrongs don't make a right. Possibly, if no one car­ ried a concealed weapon for self-protection, no one would need or want to carry one at all. Secondly, we do not take this stand in opposi­ tion to the Second Amendment which guaranteed the right to bear arms to our frontier predecessors, but a concealed handgun is not what our founders had in mind. The Second Amendment was to en­ sure the right of the citizens of America to defend their homes in times of war. Our streets, especially in Boone, have not yet even remotely been threat­ ened by this state. We sincerely hope that the passing of this ordi­ nance will not affect the relative safety Boone seems to enjoy, but the possibility for violence is now greatly more apparent. And even though Appalachian State University has a policy to expel students carrying weapons on campus, and by state and federal law those students can be prosecuted, more students will be carrying guns. How will it reflect on Appalachian after the first student dies? As students in Boone, we have the right to try all lawful means to stop the proliferation of concealed weapons in Watauga county. We urge you to speak out in favor of an ordinance banning concealed weap­ ons in county buildings. You can't regulate hate Li o 1f a Steven Mackay Columnist The tunnel graffiti incidents - two in one week - have sparked a huge amount of controversy on campus. The majority of students are rightfully angry that the anti-gay messages ("God hates fags" and "B-Dead" are two ex­ amples) are absolutely wrong. Indeed, the people who painted the tunnels are mis­ guided (I refuse to use the term "close-minded," because anyone who claims to be "open-minded" and calls others "close-minded" is close-minded himself) to say the least. However, the bulk of people on this campus who are damning the tunnel painters are also misguided. The mes­ sages written in the tunnel are being touted as "hate crimes" that ought to be vanquished and dealt with to the fullest extent of the law. According to The Student Handbook, a hate crime is any offense "which shows evidence of preju­ dice based on race, religion, sexual orientation, or ethnicity." This law is wrong. To hate is not a crime. You can't legislate feelings or emotions, even if they are deemed wrong by the majority of society. What a person holds inside their heart and mm^ <"« "f their choice, and therefore it should be private and treated with respect. You simply can not regulate hate, just as one can not regulate love or pity. Hate has been around as long as love has and will probably be with us until the end of the world. It's sad and sometimes unfair, but hey - isn't life? Personally, I see no difference in who the victim of a death threat is. Sending a letter or painting a wall that calls for someone or a group of people to be killed is wrong. No doubt about it, such malarkey falls out of the First Amendment's protective shadow. It doesn't matter who the target is, whether it be a group of people - gays, whites, blacks, Ross Perot supporters, albinos or Michael Bolton fans - or an individual - the professor who hates you, the guy who stole your CD player - they're all wrong and ille­ gal. We can't classify and delegate similar crimes into cer­ tain categories of importance or prominence. If somebody kills another person it should be called murder, not "hate murder" or whatever the politically correct term is - the act is wrong. The other day, I saw a bumper sticker that read "HEART ATTACKS: God's way of getting revenge against people who eat His animal friends." Now, isn't that hid­ eously warped viewpoint a hate crime? It's targeting poor, innocent meat eaters, like myself. When are the cops go­ ing to hunt down the dork who had this sticker on her car bumper? If that isn't a crime, then having a T-shirt or bumper sticker reading "AIDS: God's punishment for Editorial Department 262-6233 or 262-3104 If we are to be a truly tolerable society th tolerate the intolerable, even though it ma wN Calling the tunnel painters names like "bigm" a( psychopaths" only reinforces their self proci ^ Who can blame them for being against the the world is against them?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Unfortunately for my parents and myself, the game was ruined by a certain group of people. When we arrived 50 minutes be­ fore game time, I immediately noticed several people perched in spots around the general admission section. As usual. During the first part of the game a trend began where everybody in front of our row was standing on the metal seats. I personally don't mind standing during a football game, but there are others who are unable to stand for long periods of time. I felt that the students and organizations in front of us were quite rude and incon­ siderate of the people behind them. Eventually, during the third quarter enough people had left that the rest began to sit down. Please, I implore people and or­ ganizations that sit in the front rows to stop standing on the bleachers. These wonderful metal rows are made for sitting not standing!! I wish the university would patrol the stands and make people sit down. All of these actions ruin the game for a large percentage of the fans. Please be considerate and cheer on the Moun­ taineers as they work toward winning a national championship, but keep in mind the feelings of other fans. Max D. Scroggs Jr. ASU Box 5866 It CJi ncly! To the Editor: Let's face it, college is not the real world. I got a quick slap in the face with this reality a couple of days ago. We, as college students living in Boone, North Carolina, are living a sheltered life. So 1 guess its now time that I tell you why I am saying all of this. The other night I was waiting for my boyfriend to pick me up after class around 8 o'clock. As I was wait­ ing, I heard some rustling noises and didn't think anything about it. There were some other people standing nearby so I felt pretty safe. After an­ other few minutes 1 noticed the rus­ tling noises again. I looked around and I was standing near a trash dumpster, but still it didn't really hit me. Again, 1 stood waiting for my ride and again I noticed the noises. Well, my curiosity was now getting the bet­ ter of me and so I walked closer to the dumpster. When I looked inside 1 saw a light moving around. As you may have al­ ready guessed there was a man in there, with his flashlight, searching participate. Better yet, grab a pledge sheet and join us out on the mall for the sleep out! If each student were to pledge only $2, ASU could donate over $24,000 to the local agencies that serve the homeless. (The Hunger Coa­ lition, OASIS, Hospitality House, and Habitat for Humanity) If we are able to get our friends and families to par­ ticipate $24,000 could easily become $48,000, or even more. The end re­ sult would be phenomenal. Remember, if you have $10 in your pocket, you have 10 times more wealth than the majority of homeless people in America. Susan E.

Here 1 am, a junior at ASU, brighteyed and expectant of a prosperous future and there 1 stood next to a man knee-deep in trash; a man who was probably homeless. It really made me stop and think how blinded we can become. We look around Boone and see the familiar, almost famous, faces of the one or two homeless on King Street. Yet, we never stop to think that there is a real problem that lies beyond the man selling stories. I guess it just re­ ally shocked me when I realized a man was in the trash dumpster and I got to thinking how little we see sometimes as we are busy walking to and from classes. I don't know what the answer is or what we should be doing, but I do know that we should start paying at­ tention to what is out there in the "real" world. Because, when we are out there, those problems will be ours. Alison E. Foster ASU Box 15422 Parking problems i .. Tb the Editor: As if $100 wasn't enough to pay to park in a gravel lot. Apparently ASU police do not have enough cars, but at the rate the parking rates and traffic fines are going, they will have an en­ tire fleet before long. I considered my­ self one of the lucky ones. I graduate in December, so for my parking sticker in Stadium I only had to pay $65. I'm not sure how $65 is one half of $100, but that is another issue. On several occasions, there are simply no parking spaces left in sta­ dium - or any of its surrounding "sublots" - which we aren't allowed to park in anyway. Upon calling the traffic of­ fice, I was informed that the overflow area was half a mile back down the road at the non-existent Stansberry lot. As if any of us has the time to drive to school only to find we have to walk almost a mile to class. Thus we are forced to find a place to put our cars. I have parked on nu­ merous occasions on River St., Driv­ ing Range, and various 20 minute parking spaces, always to discover that I am penalized for the overbooking of Stadium Lot. I am, of course, talking about the much dreaded parking ticket. The parking ticket is just another example of the money making schemes of ASU police. Prices were nearly doubled from last year, further proving that safety is no longer the pri­ mary concern of ASU police. Until they can provide sensible parking, and dis­ continue this ludicrous overbooking of the parking lots, they have NO right to give us tickets for trying to get to class on time. Let's start catching attackers of women, and those who vandalize our campus, and quit worrying about a student who simply parks where they can, in order to attend class. Heath L.

People just seem to enjoy get­ people and relax." ting out and playing sports. "We play all the intramural sports," says Hayley A. Cornelius, a senior from East Bend. "They are a good way to get together as friends and have fun." Intramural sports do more than let you exercise and compete. "Playing intramural vol­ leyball gives me a chance to meet people and relax," says freshman Charlotte native Heather R. Quinn. Even students who are not athletically in­ clined enjoy participating in intramurals. Sophomore Robert T. Busch, from Pontevedra Beach, says "Intramural soccer gives me a chance to play a sport I'm not very good at." The intramural department has a budget of $270,000, which is provided by the student activity fee. This budget pays the in­ tramural employees, who for the most part are students. The department hires officials, scor­ ers/timekeepers, office assistants and super­ visors, all of which are open to students. "I officiate to earn money and learn about sports, plus it's an on-campus job so it is easy to get to," says sophomore Jason R Rector from Knoxville, Tenn. If you are interested in participating in an intramural sport, check the bulletin boards in your dorm or around Broomkirk gym. Movie Review A killer business Steven Mackay Reporter thee to a Beanery Jh Rubin io rter A hot cup of coffee, a smoky room, and 'pen mind. That's all you need for an »ng of poetry at beansTalk Cafe. esday nights are open-mike night at 0 ee S'10P for anyone willing to share their ghts with others. kansTalk is one of the few places where snts feel free to let loose and speak their ohn Tillman, a resident of Boone, says, "It's a chance to make everyone else deal with what's inside my head." Carolyn M. Mercurio of Boone says, "I feel it is important to get together and share openly, because you gain inspiration from other writers." New students, older students, and even residents of Boone participate in the readings. Mercurio, who has been reading for the past three years, says, "I read because this is what I want to do with my life. I think poetry serves personal purposes for a lot of people. For me, because I spend a lot of time doing it, it's nice to share." Rafael Keren agrees with Mercurio. "People read because they want other people to listen to their stuff," says Keren. Tillman thinks it's nice to have people in the audience who will not be reading their own poetry. "They are listening for your poetry rather than being here to read their own,"says Tillman. The audience provides the readers with a sense of self-fulfillment. A new reader, Eugene L. Thompson, says, "It is really nice when the audience claps for you. It is an adrenaline rush." Mercurio says a responsive and honest audience is always best. "If I read something bad, then I want to know if it is bad." Different personalities come together and share different views. Keren says, "When I read my poetry, it unites people because I am reading true statements that others can find symbolism in." Freshman Dave Kaminsky considers reading his poetry a form of performance art. "I don't like to keep my poetry to myself," says Kaminski. It takes a great deal of strength to get up in front of a group of familiar faces and wait for a reaction. Hester says, "I really like it when people tell me they like what I have read, but as long as they are able to react to it, I think it is good." Jason E. Levi says, "I read to give our generation a voice. By putting all of my emotions into what I read, at times, I feel shaky. I like to think I can give will-power for those lis­ tening." The atmosphere at beansTalk is very accepting and the people are non-judg­ mental, so it is a great place for "in the closet" poets to share their ideas. • In "Get Shorty" (Rated R), gangsters go head to head with some really nasty folks Hollywood moguls. When the two worlds of crime and movies collide, they start a rash of shootings, bone snappings, money swaps, ego wars, blackmailings, script stealing, doublecrossing, and so much more. "Shorty" follows a mob-employed loan shark named Chili Palmer (John Travolta), as he makes his way from Miami to Las Vegas to the land of make believe. He starts out look­ ing for a weasel who faked his own death, but owes the mob money and is hiding out in Ve­ gas. Once Chili takes care of the faker, as a favor to a casino buddy, he sets his sights on a trash-movie maker named Harry Zimm (Gene Hackman). Zimm is behind on his gambling debts and shows no sign of wanting to catch up. Once he arrives in L. A., Chili sees how the Hollywood game is played and decides he wants in. So, he pitches a movie script idea to his new buddy, Zimm, and starts out on his dream job - movie producer. The great movie idea is none other than Chili's bizarre life and job. The dream job quickly goes sour. Chili finds himself dealing with his vengeful and hilariously disfigured mob boss (Dennis Fa­ rina), a local drug kingpin (Delroy Lindo) who also has movies on his mind, a big time movie star named Martin Weir (Danny DeVito) with an out of control God complex, plus a duffel bag full of drug money in an airport locker. Then there's the girl, a no talent actress (Rene Russo) who was married to Weir, is now doing the horizontal hokey-pokey with Zimm, but also likes Chili. Got that? The results are a the perfect idea for a movie, which this is. The actual full-fledged story, adopted from a novel by Elmore Leonard, is too complicated and full of surprises to explain totally here. Which is a treat. "Shorty" is the best burst of fresh air to flow out of Hollywood since "Pulp Fiction." Better yet, there's a ton of delicious black humor and enough skewering of Holly- See Business page 8 CD Review Amy's not Phair Sara LeWinter Reporter If you're in the mood for some raw and powerful Liz Phair, don't settle for Amy Arena. She attempts to mimic Liz Phair's style of bru­ tal honesty, but produces only an immature image of a blunt and offensive young woman. Each song on her self-titled debut album de­ stroys a human being's dignity through a com­ bination of belittling lyrics and disconnected digital mixes. Her songs are not personal cre­ ative expressions. They are worthless imita­ tions that seem to be primarily produced to bring attention to this con artist. The music itself does exemplify a unique blend of melodies. A strange pop sound can be heard in particular parts of each song, but Amy Arena continues to thrive to please the See Phair page 8 �The Appalachian oKl — Business continued from page 7 wood politics to put a smile on any­ body, even a crass movie critic like myself. Under the direction of Barry Sonnenfeld ("The Addams Family"), the wackiness and nutty fun of the script is easy to take. Travolta is smoo-ooth as Chili Palmer. His slick enforcer rarely re­ sorts to violence, instead using his penetrating eyes and the phrase, "LOOK at me," to scare his prey into submission. After "Pulp," there can be no doubt that the former disco god is back on top and here to stay. The only gripe is the mis-casting of DeVito, the "Shorty" in the title. He's a great actor and does a wonder­ ful job, but let's face it: he just doesn't have the knack to even pretend to be Hollywood's greatest asset. In L. A., beauty rules, hence the reason why dips like Keanu Reeves aren't working the late shift at Denny's ... yet. Other than that, "Get Shorty" stands tall. Grade: A- continued from page 7 post-modern audience with a rough, feminine tone. She conveys to her lis­ teners that "sometimes the question is worth more than the answer," in her song entitled "Perverts." The remain­ ing lyrics of this song are intangible though, because Amy Arena is scream­ ing her words in a disorganized man­ ner. A piano melody is mixed with an unusual rap beat to produce the song "Addicted To Dirt." In order to be successful, this art­ ist feels as though she must rely on profundity and profanity to gain popu­ larity. One example of this can be found in a song describing human ex­ crement. By crossing this distasteful and non-effective boundary of oppo­ sition, Amy Arena eliminates her chances of becoming a dance diva. The cover of her album is a nude shot of herself, posing glamorously in Combine your foreign language skills with a graduate business degree for exciting career opportunities! between the stripes of the American flag. Some of the songs are titled, "Ex­ cuse Me," "Make Love To Myself," "Get To Know Me," and "Proud To Be A Woman.". Surprisingly, the song "Excuse Me," is excellent. In this song, the art­ ist says that she is "a product of the '90s, a woman of the '90s, and not a victim." She has "risen above the gar­ bage heap she grew up in." She says, "Excuse me if I am an unwed mother, stink of Chanel #5, and loathe caviar." Unfortunately, most of her other songs are only shocking and rude assump­ tions about trivial aspects of life. Her themes are also redundant. A listener can only presume one thing about Amy Arena. She is "not an ordinary girl or an average girl," and definitely "not like the girl next door."

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

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

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

(Photos by Jeremy Kamiya) Board of Governors to review drafts for relationship policy Allison Penned Assistant News Editor The Faculty Assembly, who consists of representatives from each of the 16 N.C. institutions, drafted its considerations for a policy for amorous relationships and submit­ ted it to the Board of Governors last week, said Peter Petschauer, head of Faculty Assembly and Appalachian history professor. One of the considerations for the policy recommended by the Faculty Assembly was to develop a broad understanding of the conduct of faculty, administrators, students and staff toward each other. Members of the Fac­ ulty Assembly suggested that the policy should look at all categories of individuals as adults or professionals who maintain a high standard of conduct toward each other and toward stu­ dents. The Faculty Assembly also recom­ mended that the Board of Governors remem­ ber that faculty members, like staff members and students, are not born married and must find partners in the communities and work settings in which they live, work and study. That is one of the few places where individu­ he Appalachian wins national award Qela Brady t°r In Chief The Appalachian received a national ^is weekend's National College Meonvention hosted by the Associated ColPress and the College Media Advisers ashington, D.C. The National Newspaper -maker Award, judged by The Washington > was awarded to 10 schools in the four non-daily category.

Accepting The Appalachian's award was John Lane, managing editor of this year's staff. "The award is a great honor for all those who were on staff last year," said Lane, "and gives all those on this year's staff some­ thing to work toward." The convention was the site of nu­ merous workshops on the latest trends, skills and issues related to student media, and was considered a great success by the ACR CMA and all the students and advisers from all over the United States who attended.

In addition, they wanted the Board of Governors to consider the fact that several of our universities are in small towns and the choices for partners and friends are limited. The Faculty Assembly saw amorous relationships as consisting of two categories: consensual relationships and harassment. The assembly encouraged the Board of Governors to first establish guides for model behavior and then to offer examples of inappropriate con­ duct. They felt model behavior would be that which would not harm an office environ­ ment as a whole or pressure faculty, staff, or students, to submit to an unwanted relation­ ship. Model behavior for faculty members is to create a learning environment inside and outside the classroom which would allow in­ dividuals to thrive intellectually. They discour­ age any relationship, even if it is between graduate students and students, if one of the students is in a position of authority. They also suggested a broader elabo­ ration of the modified sexual harassment state­ ments that are presently in the faculty hand­ books at many universities. For example, the supervisor who en­ ters an amorous relationship with an employee may tend to favor that person to the disadvan­ tage of other persons in the office. While the two individuals bound in this way may think of themselves as innocent and supportive of other persons in the office, these in turn may look negatively upon the situation and gain an increasingly hostile attitude toward their work place. They felt the policy should spell out that such a relationship could seriously under­ mine the educational environment. The Faculty Assembly also gave rec­ ommendations for enforcement of such a policy. For one thing, they felt any policy should clarify that all administrators are re­ sponsible for enforcing the policy and they are in turn accountable to the institution. They suggested that any other elabo­ ration to the policy might add that a harassed person mav turn to administrators, including departmen chairs, deans, provosts and oth­ ers, for guidance. The Board of Governors will meet Nov. 9 and 10 for their monthly meeting. News Briefs Kirkley gives talk on drug use Marijuana is one of the most abused drugs on college campuses, but regular mari­ juana users are in the minority, according to Dale Kirkley, an alcohol and drug counselor in Appalachian State University's Wellness Center during a new program called "Lunch with Uncle Sigmund." Recent studies indicate that mari­ juana use, after a decade of slow decline in the United States, has significantly increased in recent years. This has been noted at the high school and college level. College students who are chronic users of marijuana usually have a circle of drug using friends, and when they stick to­ gether they do not see the larger reality around them, Kirkley said. "Their perception is that everyone uses pot and their lifestlye revolves around it," he said. "Chronic users often develop a strong psychological attachment to pot, such that feeling high often becomes the preferred state of being. These chronic users also may develop a strong lack of motivation, feeling lethargic and undirected." "Most students who use marijuana may not develop a dependence on it but will likely experience negative effects, such as short-term memory, dulled thinking and rea­ soning skills, poor concentration, and a weak­ ened immune system," Kirkley said. "Pot smoking greatly increses one's risk of devel­ oping lung cancer." Instead of seeking these effects, Kirkley said there are ways to learn how to live in the "here and now" and to learn to en­ joy the moment without drug use and the risks and problems it brings.

Accuracy and Public Service since 1936 ithe 1995-'96 Appalachian State University Stu Handbook of Rights and Responsibilities, the )W infamous Inclement Weather Policy states most students already know by heart. Come sleet, snow or nose-numbing temperatures >s will proceed. Of course, the policy is not »d in those terms, but the intent is still the same [he Handbook actually says the university "re s the right to cancel classes during inclement ler." However, students know this right remains erve much more often than it is put into effect, i cases where a decision is to be made about s, the Chancellor consults with the Provost, the [hancellor for Business Affairs, the Vice Chan for Student Development and other university anel. These decision makers, all of whom are d in one safe, warm building on campus de Students should be forced to traipse from buildbuilding in subzero temperatures with frozen nd hands. It seems that the status and wel of students is not considered as much as the rsity"s desire to keep its "school no matter what' is also stated in the Student Handbook that y members who cannot make it to class because avoidable causes" must notify their departchair and the chair will make arrangements :ir classes to be taught anyway. If faculty memire unable to travel to school because of "unible" snow, why should students who are un0 get to campus be punished? ne of the administration's objections to letting s out is that most students live within 2 miles lpus. When it only takes a few steps on an icy alk to cause a bad fall, why should anyone be 1 to be out in the weather? aother popular argument that the administraas against letting classes out is that they think tudents will just go out and get hurt skiing or ing.

As a matter of fact, I've written four or five of them, dictating to myself through clenched teeth as I searched for a parking spot that would not ultimately re­ quire a ty^lk to Hampton's Auto Body to pay a $50 towing charge...again. Yes, I looked forward to exposing a plot using exorbi­ tant parking fines to finance some swanky loft for profes­ sors in New York. Maybe write another diatribe about a government institution too incompetent or unwilling to meet the needs of its customers. Or better yet, smoking out a pinko environmental conspiracy to discourage the God-given right to drive an automobile because of some caribou and Gwich'in Indians 5,000 miles away...oh well, it sounded good in the car. Regular readers know I'm not shy about criticizing our school, but after looking into the parking problem let me report student frustrations have been heard and are being addressed competently and aggressively. Recently a math class polled that frustration, using 455 randomly selected students. The findings are not sur­ prising. According to Kierstin Mullins, who compiled the numbers for her class report, 74 percent of seniors have experienced, and 83 percent of freshmen expect to experi­ ence, parking inconveniences. Of those polled 65.7 per­ cent have a car on campus and 49 percent of them are unhappy with the current parking situation. (The remain­ ing 51 percent must either be early risers or handicapped.) Of those who do bring a car on campus 22 percent of them cited limited parking as the reason for their frustration. So what's being done? According to Jane Helm, Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs, an outside architectural firm has been hired to look at the school's layout and mab recommendations within the month. "At this point," she says, "we're strongly considering a parking deck because we need to get maximum parking out of our limited space." She wouldn't commit to a deck saying only, "We're waiting to hear from the architects before any final decisions are made, but parking is certainly a top priority right now." She also added, "We doubled parking fines to discourage unauthorized parking this year." "Unauthorized parking," she says, "Creates more prob­ lems than one may realize, especially when they take up space reserved for authorized students." Unless the architects come up with some unfore­ seen suggestions we should go for the deck. Opponents fear a deck will block the mountain view, but let me suggest that if they back away from it far enough that shouldn't be a problem. A deck is the only practical solution, and according to the poll, 76 percent of students say we need one and 35 percent of those are will­ ing to pay as much as $200 a year to use such a facility. I asked Roy Thgman, Division Director of Public Safety and University Police, why we rlon't eliminate River Street's bike paths in favor of parking. "That's not our decision," he said. "River Street is a state highway and we would need permission from the Department of Transportation." He added, "We do have authorization for major events but have decided the road is too narrow and therefore too dan­ gerous for full-time parking." After taking another look, one has to conclude he's probably right. As far as students who have stickers, live out of town, but can't find a spot and end up getting ticketed, he as­ sured me that it was not due to overbooking. "We do not oversell our parking spaces. A spot is always available, it just may not be a convenient one." Of the 5488 spaces available, there have been 5800 stickers sold. Obviously not every car is here all the time, so any suspicions about the $330,000 in fines paid by students last year being a result of overselling is unfounded. As much as I hoped the parking fines funded a swanky loft, Helm assured me, "Fines pay to maintain and staff the lots. The state doesn't subsidize parking so we have to do it ourselves." One has to conclude that between the outside ar­ chitectural firm, the dou­ bling of fines, the options already considered, and a willingness to invest in a parking deck, we seem to be in good hands. We'll know if the fines worked next year, but it makes sense to raise the price if you want to dis­ courage something. Mullins suggests a portion of the deck be reserved for hourly parking so students who spend less time on campus aren't charged disproportionately. This suggestion sounds like it could be profitable for the school and offer students a low cost alternative. A lot of students are complainine about our crhool's growth. Yes, parking is frustrating, but the university is seeing to our needs and treating us like the valued cus­ tomers we are. Why be snobs? This administration should be applauded for allowing more people to benefit from an expansion that hasn't affected the quality of education. So what if we have to walk a little further to get it? ...Student frustrations have been heard and are being addressed competently and aggressively. Keep oil drilling out of Alaska Barbara Gaddy Guest Columnist The state Alaska brings to mind frozen tundra, lots of snow, and wide open plains teeming with caribou, wolves, grizzlies, polar bears, and birds of all shapes and sizes. It is also the home of 7,000 native Gwich'in people. The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), nestled in the northeastern corner of Alaska, is a complete pristine ecosystem that currently provides safe habitat for thou­ sands of animals and a means of subsistence for the Gwich'in people. Their livelihood and culture depend on the herd of 160,000 porcupine caribou that utilize the ref­ uge and the coastal plain it encompasses. While the majority of the refuge is fully protected, the 1.5 million acre coastal plain remains open to the threats of oil companies eager to expand and develop this un­ touched area. It is estimated that there could possibly be enough oil underneath the plain to supply us with enough fuel for only 200 days. Who among us can justify the outright de­ struction of such a vital ecosystem and ancient way of life for a possible 200 days of oil? The recent move in Congress is to do just that. The Republican budget bill which is being pushed through Con­ gress allows for the opening up of the ANWR to oil compa­ nies and the industrialization that they inevitably bring. Exploration of the coastal plain would entail the construc­ tion of several airfields, ports, desalination plants, large production facilities, many large drill pads and about 300 miles of roads. Should this happen, the majority of wild­ life,' the ranks of the porcupine caribou herd, and the Gwich'in culture would be virtually destroyed. The ANWR belongs to all Americans - we each own a to keep my 16 foot area pris­ tine - oil spills and heavy machinery do not mix well with untamed natural wildlife, wildlife that belongs on this "last great wilderness." As of yet, our congressman, Richard Burr, has not yet declared a position on this issue. He has not yet been forced to make the pro-oil or pro-wilderness choice. Now is the time; it is critical that we let him know how we, the con­ stituents, feel about this issue. Lenny Kohm, a native of the Todd area, has been work­ ing for the protection and preservation of the ANWR for years. He is a talented photojournalist who has lived among the Gwich'in people. Kohm spends his time traveling the country, showing off a spectacular slide show and educat­ ing the public on this extremely crucial issue. Lenny Kohm will make his presentation in Farthing Auditorium at 3 p.m. TUesday, Nov. 7. The public is en­ couraged to attend and learn more about what's going on. According to the United States Fish and Wildlife Ser­ vice the coastal plain is the "center of wildlife activity" on the and is the only area in North America that "...protects, in an undisturbed condition, the complete spectrum of Arctic and sub-Arctic ecosystems." Is the destruction of such an invaluable resource really worth 200 days of oil? The future of the ANWR, the porcupine caribou herd, and the Gwich'in people is in jeopardy, and it is imperative that each American does what is necessary to insure that it is projected for each of us. The best Way Wdd ttfR-Wto personally get fn touch with Richard Burr's office and encourage him to support the Arctic wilderness. In addition, a large turnout forLenny Kohm's speech on November 7 is an extremely valuable way to send a strong message to Burr - support the ANWR and save the "last great wilderness."

Food Services is bringing in a food consultant to see how feasible fast food facilities on cam­ pus would be. What has taken them so long? I'm sure that students have been dissatisfied with the food on cam­ pus for years. It's about time that the university realized students don't like paying big bucks for meal plans only to find out that the food is bad and costs much more than that found off campus. I'm sure that this situation isn't new. The main problem with the food on campus is that it costs way too much. The food isn't disgusting, it can be fairly tasty on occasion, but what it costs doesn't corre­ spond with the pretty low quality standard. No student would argue that stuff in the cafeteria tastdS like it does at home. I can't recall one time my mother forgot to actually dry the lettuce before she made a salad with it. We never had to eat grilled cheese sandwiches that were made with anything except real dairy products in my house. Why should students have to pay high prices to get low quality food? For exactly $3.38 you can get a quarter pound, all beef burger with lots of stuff on it, large fries and a me­ dium Coke at Wendy's. At the food court it would cost you $3.10 but you would get about 18 limp fries and your coke would be flat, not to mention that the burger may or may not be mostly beef. 1 shiver at the thought. Wouldn't you rather pay the extra 28 cents and get food you can trust to be good? I called the Market to get some prices for staple items and was appalled at what I was told. A can of spaghettios is 96 cents at the Market and about 60 cents at the Harris Teeter on Shadowline Drive. Six-packs of Coke in cans are a whopping $3.60 on campus and $2.19 at Harris Teeter. A 20 ounce bag of Lay's plain potato chips is $2.99 on campus and $2.19 at the grocery store. Notice a hefty mark­ up? I was told that the Market has to raise prices because they pay more for items because they can't buy in bulk. I say close down the small store in Trivette and open a new one in the old Harris Teeter building on King Street. Stu­ dents could work at the store and the university could buy items in bulk and charge us what regular stores do. As long as we could use our meal cards, students would surely patronize the store. The location is perfect and the Appalcart already runs past there. The best thing would be that students would be able to eat food that they like and would probably eat better nutritionally. I have been told that fast food will probably come to the Appalachian campus, but I'm not holding my breath. When the day comes that students can choose between Taco Bell, McDonalds, and Arby*s we will probably all be alumni. At least our kids will be able to eat chicken nug­ gets while we drag them up here to see football games.

John Starling Reporter Where can you see rice, toast and water flying through the air? An underwater wed­ ding with a complimentary continental break­ fast? Try the traditional atmosphere of a show­ ing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, the cult classic film about an alien scientist who cre­ ates the perfect man to satisfy his deviant sexual needs. A.RES. sponsored a Halloween night showing of Rocky Horror at Legends. The evening began with a D.J.'d dance, featuring dance music of the '80s, as well as modern club sounds such as Nine Inch Nails and the Beastie Boys. After about an hour and a half of danc­ ing, the audience was settled down to begin a costume contest. Of all the outlandish outfits in Legends, the winners ended up being "Uncle Fester" and a guy dressed as a sperm cell. Then the movie began. As the intro to the film began to roll, the eccentricities of the audience began to show. Cheers and jeers came rolling from the lips of otherwise normal college students. When the character name 'Janet" was said, the audience replied, "B !" The character Brad received the same kind of treatment with the scream of "A !" Dr. Frank N. Furter was greeted with warm applause from the viewers. The comments that echoed throughout Legends were a part of the well known "audi­ ence script" circulating among the die-hard fans of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. The script tells audience members when to throw various objects and actively participate with the film. During the wedding sequence at the be­ ginning of the movie, people responded with flying rice. When Brad and Janet are caught in a rain storm, the audience broke out water guns and squirted each other with them. At some point in the movie a cast mem­ ber calls for a toast, and you guessed it, toast was launched all over Legends. At another moment in the film, the audi­ ence leapt from their seats to participate in the "Time Warp," a dance from the film. Those in attendance had different re­ sponses to the peculiar events of the evening. Brandon S. Powers, a freshman from Fayetteville, took the sights he saw in stride. "It was pretty cool, 1 guess," he said, "even though I'm not a transvestite." Some folks had other attachments to the film and the surroundings that go with it. "It brought back a lot of good memories from home," says Erin E. Poage of the event. Poage, Students dress the part as they participate in the festivities of the R Horror Picture Show held on Halloween night. This was the 20th anniversary of the cult classic which bombines cinema and the wet improv theater. (Photos by Aaron Fein) a freshman from Texas, is used to the odd prac­ tices of the film's fans. She and her friends used to watch the movie regularly. To the uninvolved viewer, the cross-dress­ ing and absurd costuming of Rocky Horror took on a truly bizarre nature. To some, though, like freshman Mark T Dolister of Hope Mills, it was difficult to make much out of the sights. "I thought people were really getting into the spirit of Rocky Horror," he said. Halloween was made into a truly memo­ rable evening to those who attended the Rocky Horror Picture Show. For first time Rocky view­ ers, the sights they saw will stay with them forever. For veteran "Time Warpers," it was an evening to kick back with an old favorite. Regardless of their experience with Rocky Horror, everyone left with an energy to live. As Dr. Frank N. Furter sang in one of the final musical pieces of film, "Don't dream it. Be it!" Tired of watching T. V.1 Ryan Price Reporter It is the weekend and you are bored. You haven't heard of any parties and you don't feel like watching a movie, so what do you do? Instead of being bored for the umpteenth night in a row, you may want to check out a few of the bars here in Boone. There is every­ thing from pay-per-view boxing to good live music, and food from cheeseburgers to wings. Bars are a great place to unwind after a tough exam or just spend time with your friends. There are sports bars, pool bars, dance clubs, pool bars masquerading as dance clubs (would that be a "club-vestite?"), band bars, bars with decks, and just plain old-fashioned manly-man/stale pretzels/dart-throwin'/large screen T. V/thick as molasses German lagertype bars. In the 1970s the trend was singles' bars, complete with polyester bell-bottoms and the Bee Gees. The '80s gave us ferns, Izods and the Jackson family. Now in the '90s, bars have evolved into the family of sports and live bands. You can go listen to an assortment of lo­ cal acts and hoist a brew with your buds, or you can go watch Tyson beat up on some poor invalid. It's up to you, and Boone has a wide variety to choose from. The serious sports bar in Boone is Geno's. Geno's is so serious that the armchair quarterbacks can compete against one another to see who is the best couch potato by playing QB-1. QB-1 is an interactive football play-call­ ing game that the viewer uses while watching the real thing on one of Geno's nine televiGeno's is big for box­ ing events and Monday night football. On Monday's they offer drink specials and serve wings. Junior Jason T. James of Greensboro says he likes going to Geno's because "They show all the NFL games on Sunday, and it's a good place to go grab a beer and have a good time." For those students who enjoy live music and good food, try Blue's Barbecue or The Klondike Cafe. Tuesday is openmike jam night at Blue's. It is popular because you can hear some good new mu­ sic. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights there are a variety of bands rang­ ing from Janie Grey to the Self-Rising Biscuit Brothers Band. The Klondike is popu­ lar during the day and at night. In the afternoons it is a popular hangout be­ cause it has an outdoor bar where students may sit and watch everyone in Boone walk, jog, bike, or drive by. Senior R. Dale Ellis of North Wilkesboro says he enjoys The Klondike be­ cause it is "a wonderful place to sit in the sun and partake of the spirits." The Klondike also has live music and books acts like Purple Schoolbus and 100th Monkey. On Sunday night they also have open- Try some of the local spots Appalachian paddling club lives for the tk —I- Matthew Russ Reporter mike night. The Caribbean Cafe is a little trendier and has good one man shows or small bands. They Blues Barbecue (top) and Klondike Cafe (above) are just two of the local spots students frequent in Boone. (Photos by Ryan Price) offer wing specials on Mondays, open-mike on Wednesdays, and live music on Tuesday, Thurs­ day, Friday, and Saturday nights. "I like going to the Caribbean because it makes me feel in­ tellectual. I can order a good beer and listen to some music," says senior Christian Carkow of Boone. The Mellow Mushroom is a new bar in Boone. It is located where Sollecito's used to be and has a large outdoor deck. They have an occasional musical act and offer beer spe­ cials nightly. It is spacious and there is plenty of room to hang out if you have a large party. If you like to dance and play pool, Savan­ nah Joe's is the place to go. Often referred to as the "meat market," its biggest night is Thurs­ day, when they have a DJ. On Fridays and Saturdays Savannah's has live music that cov­ ers the entire spectrum, ranging from country to alternative. You can play pool for around $3 an hour per person. Senior Stephanie S. Schuster of Charlotte says she enjoys going to Savannah's because "It's a lot of fun and it's close. You don't have to drive to Charlotte to go to a good club on Thursdays." So there you have it. The secret is out, or as many Appalachian students already know, there is no secret. There is plenty to do in Boone on the weekends and even during the week. You just have to get out and look. \ If you have ever ridden a roarin; in a canoe or kayak, then you may* stand the rush felt by the members Appalachian Paddling Club.

Mountaineers hold off Keydet comeback Hornets: blunder nr h / j .s David Willis Darryl Stevens Sports Editor Staff Writer Sports Commentary The Mountaineers dodged a bullet Satur­ day and remained undefeated on the year with a 26-24 win at VMI. With a little over a minute to play, Keydet quarterback A1Lester was stopped short of the goal line on a two-point conversion attempt and the ensuing onside kick was recovered by the Mountaineers as they barely squeaked out the win. "It was a terrific football game," said ASU Head Coach Jerry Moore. And on the twopoint conversion, he said, "It was a have to deal. The defense made the big play when they had to." VMI jumped out to an early 7-0 lead on the opening possession as tailback Thomas Haskins ran 19 yards for the score. The Keydets did not waste any time as they took the ball 76 yards in five plays. However, the Mountaineers came right back as a failed VMI fake punt ended with an incomplete pass and Appalachian took over at the Keydet 20. Unable to move the ball inside the 10, the Mountaineers scored on a 32-yard field goal by Jay S. Sutton, of Wingate, N.C., to decrease the lead to 7-3. Following a three and out bv the Keydets, Appalachian took over at the VMI 45. This time, ASU moved the ball well, and on fourth down and one at the seven yard line, fullback Aldwin Lance of Shallotte, N.C. busted up the middle for a gain of six. On the next play, Lance went in from a yard, out for the score. Appala­ chian took the lead 10-7. The next VMI possession ended on an­ other incomplete pass from a fake punt and the Mountaineers took over at the Keydet 38. Six plays later, tailback Damon L. Scott, of Cedar Grove, N.C., ran the ball in from seven yards out and put ASU up 17-7. The Keydets came back and on their next possession moved the ball well in part to a couple of 15-yard penalties against the Moun­ taineers. On third and seven at the ASU 38, Haskins fumbled and Appalachian defensive back Jamie M. Coleman of Laurinburg, N.C. recovered at the ASU 44. The Mountaineer offense again moved the ball well. This time the trio of runners for the Apps, Lance, Scott, and Scott F. Satterfield of Hillsborough, N.C. combined to lead the Moun­ taineers. Eleven plays and 56 yards later, Lance scored his second TD of the game to put the Apps ahead 23-0. Sutton missed the extra point attempt after successfully completing his last 58. The Mountaineers appeared to have com­ plete control, but on its next possession, VMI led by the running of Haskins and a 39-yard touchdown grab by receiver Marlon Anderson, the Keydets pulled to within eight as Lester ran in the two-point conversion and put VMI back in the game. Appalachian had the lead 23-15 going into the intermission and its defense had held Haskins to just 77 yards rushing, but VMI made the necessary adjustments and came out look­ ing for its second consecutive win over the Mountaineers. Neither team could put any points on the board in the third quarter, but on the first play of the fourth, App's Sutton connected on a 25yard field goal and the Mountaineers then led 26-15. Needing two scores to win, the Keydet defense would shut out the Mountaineers for the remainder of the contest and on its next possession, VMI went 44 yards on 12 plays and came away with the 32-yard Mike Harris field goal and the Keydets were back to within eight. The Mountaineers were looking for a little insurance on their next possession, but after driving down to the VMI 16, Sutton missed a 33-yard field goal wide left, and with 6:15 re- The San Francisco 49'ers 0ft(V Be a warning to the NBA's Charil The Panthers' big Sunday sum ' the NFL champs into chumps E that the 'Niners were relying ^' last-resort quarterback, and that - " San Fran's starting 22 was riddled^' jury, can't take the win away.

(File Photo) maining in the game, the Keydets regained possession. The Keydets moved the ball to the ASU 47, led by Haskins and the passing of Lester. Following a timeout with 1:46 remaining, Haskins went around the left end for 47 yards and the score to put VMI within two, but the Mountaineer defense stopped the two-point conversion and ended the Keydets comeback hopes. Haskins had another great game against the Mountaineers, rushing for 200 yards on 32 carries and three TD's. Offensively for Appalachian, Scott rushed for 122 yards on 33 carries and Satterfield rushed for 79 yards on 13 carries. Satterfield was also 8-13 passing for 77 yards. Defensively for the Mountaineers, Joe M. DiBernardo of Miami, Fla. led the Apps with 12 stops, Dexter W Coakley of Mt. Pleasant, S.C. had 10 stops, and Elando M. Johnson of Chapel Hill, N.C. had eight tackles in his first game starting. Appalachian improved its record to 9-0 on the season and VMI fell to 3-6.

Game time is set for 1:00 p.m. at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Field hockey takes second in conference tourney Lady Hyun Kwon Reporter The field hockey team beat Catawba Nov. 1, by the score of 3-1, showing Catawba what they're made of. "Since we scrimmaged Catawba earlier in the season and had won the scrimmage, we went into the game on a positive note," stated Head Assistant Coach Karen Poole. With the added win to their record, the Mountaineers not only brought up their record, but also went into the Deep South Tournament with a 3-12 record. "The ladies had a very consistent game and played very well," explained Head Coach Cathy Burleson. "Everyone got to play and it was one of our better games and it gave us a positive feeling." Forward Barry Elizabeth Clyatt, a senior from Greeneville, Delaware, scored an inside circle shot with an assist from midfielder Megan Lee Corradino, a junior from Norfolk, Virigina, in the first half. At halftime the Moun­ taineers were tied with Catawba 1-1. In the second half, forward Jennifer Lynn Brodrick, a junior from Waldorf, Maryland, scored the second goal for ASU. With 4:14 left in the second half, Brodrick made an assist to forward and captain Elena Diane Moore, a senior from Huntingtown, Maryland, who put in another goal for the team bringing the score The squad had 21 inside circle shots and nine outside circle shots. Goalkeeper captain Ingrid Ola Stamberg, a senior from Barnesville, Maryland, had 11 saves, and goalkeeper Kathryn Perry Pearson, a freshman from Win: ston-Salem, North Carolina, had one save. "We played a short passing game and played well," commented Blackwell, a sophomore from Wilmington, Delaware. "We wanted to have a good game before the tournament," explained Coach Poole. "The girls had real team sripit and a positive atti­ tude. Winning put us in a good frame of mind for the tournament." The Deep South Tournament started on Nov. 3 and at Davidson. Davis and Elkins lost to St. Louis, which matched ASU against St. Louis in the first round of the tournament. "We had a very good practice the day be­ fore and it put us at a positive attitude to play against St. Louis," exclaimed Coach Poole. The Mountaineers scored two goals in the first half. The first goal was made by Corradino and the second one by Clyatt who had an as­ sist by Joyce Marie Hill, a senior from Poolesville, Maryland. With the score tied at 2-2, the teams went into overtime. Blackwell scored the winning goal in overtime, giving ASU the win with the score of 3-2. "This was the most exciting game I have coached in four years," exclaimed Coach Burleson. "It was a total team effert and the whole team played well." Winning the first round brought the Mountaineers to the finals of the Deep South Tournament which was held the next day. The finals consisted of Davidson and ASU. "We didn't play as well as the St. Louis game, but did a good job," stated Coach Burleson. The team held the game scoreless in the half until Davidson scored with 7:26 left. Then with only 2:50 left in the game, Davidson scored one more goal ending the game with a 0-2 win and winning the tournament. "The team brought everything together and played really well," commented Stamberg. With Davidson in first place, the Mountaineers placed second. "I was very pleased with the way the team played, and the team was very consistent," explained Coach Burleson. Coach Poole added, "The team ended on a good note. The whole progress of the team is important going into next year, and we will just work on the basics." Three of the Mountaineers made the Deep South Tournament Team. The three were Clyatt, Jodi Elizabeth, a sophomore from Canton, Connenticut, and Tara Jeanne, a jun­ ior from Fall Rivers, MA. Blackwell commented, " We gave 100 percent throughout the tournament and played our hardest." The team's hard work paid off.

Appalachian made quick work of Davidson on Friday night even though they did drop a game to the Wildcats. Appalachian took the first two 15-4 and 15-1 before drop­ ping the third game 16-18. However, the Mountaineers were determined not to lose a match that was their's so they took it in the fourth game by the score of 15-2. The season's final home game on Sunday also proved to be the team's most important to date as they faced the first place team in the conference, Marshall. Coming into the match each team had one loss in the confer­ ence, Appalachian's coming to Furman two weeks ago and Marshall's coming to Appala­ chian almost a month ago. Whoever won this match would walk out of Broome-Kirk with first place in the Southern Conference. Coach Dave Markland described the win as "big for several reasons". For one thing the win puts the Mountaineers in excellent posi­ tion to win the regular season crown in the conference. It also just about gaurantees the Mountaineers the number one seed in the con­ ference tournament, barring an unexpected loss to Western Carolina or UT-Chattanooga next week.

Tip off is slated for 1 p.m. and a sellout is expected. A plan has been developed to distribute the allotted student tickets. The ASU men's basketball exhi­ bition against The Charlotte Royals on Wednesday, Nov. 15, will be the distri­ bution site for Georgia Tech tickets. On a first-come, first-serve basis, the allotment of student tickets will be given to students in attendance at the game. Date tickets will also be avail­ able (one per valid ID) will also be available for $7. Tip-off for the exhibition game is 7 p.m., so make plans to assemble early in "Apkeville" (in front of Varsity Gym) for the distribution of student Georgia Tech tickets. Distribution will begin at 6 p.m. and ASU Athletics has made plans to have food and drinks available. Be sure to bring your ID. Reserved tickets are now on sale in the ticket office for $12. Appalachian State Basketball kicks off its upcoming season by giv­ ing you the chance to have the "Best seat in DA House." By signing up in advance, three students will be se­ lected at every home game to enjoy the action, sitting on a couch in the middle of the student section. The lucky winners will enjoy free pizza, Coke, and a free t-shirt. Also, the win­ ners will lead the Mountaineers out onto the court. Be a part of the action and enjoy this basketball season with the "Best seat in DA House." To sign up or if you have any questions, call the ticket office at 262-2079. Hornets continued from page 6 The departure of Rasheed Wallace, Jerry Stackhouse and Joe Smith are the biggest reasons for the ACC's "fall from grace" - not that other conferences haven't improved. But players escaping to the NBA early is a problem for coaches trying to keep some sort of continuity within programs. It's a grim price athletic departments pay, for daring to recruit the best players.

The equipit was ruined when someone poured sand m the gas tank and engine of two bulldozand a front loader during the night. Fortunately, an operator working on the construction site found the sand on the engine during a daily check of his machinery before the machines were used. "We're lucky that the operator found the sand before we started working, because those engines can cost up to $30,000 a piece," said Bill Reece, area supervisor of the construc­ tion area. "We're trying to do a job here," said Paul Brown, one of the partners of the Brown Brothers' Construction Company. "We're not bothering any one, we are just doing our job and if anyone has a problem with me or my company, I would rather have them come speak to me than have someone sabotage our equipment." Two days following this first incident, a second act of vandalism occurred on the con­ struction site. On the morning of Oct. 20, con­ struction workers arrived on the site to find that wires and hoses had been cut on a back hoe. The workers also found the area's tree markers stuffed into the back hoe's radiator. Results of the damage include losses in the down time of a day and a half of both machinery and man power. They also resulted in the cost of four mechanics to drain the ma­ chinery of the sand and the cost of replacing hoses and wires on the back hoe. "I can't see why any one would want to sabotage us." said Brown. "We've always felt happy to be a part of the university commu­ nity, this has never happened to us before." see Vandalism Page 2 lalloween hits Appalachian SGA looks at program cuts instructor position had to be removed.

Accuracy and Public Service since 1936 Ouropinion... ACC location not a 'done deal 1 The building plans for the Appalachian Convo­ cation Center have been drawn-up, showing a 200,000 square-foot behemoth (that's over four football fields large) in the middle of what is currently Rivers Street. However, with so many problems and ' objections raised in connection with the site, perhaps it is not the most appropriate place for the Center. In an open forum held Monday night, Jane E v Helm, vice chancellor of business affairs, said the university is still open to suggestions as to where the , ACC will be located. Townspeople expressed their concerns about the location, because of possible flooding which could be exacerbated by the build­ ing, traffic problems during events (which will be v affected that much more since Rivers Street is being rerouted), and high decibel levels affecting the apart­ ments adjacent to the property, all of which could be _ created if the ACC were built in the currently planned - location of Rivers Street near the baseball field. We have all seen the problems the Boone Mall faces when it rains, and it is also built on a flood plane. The baseball field is already plagued with < problems of flooding in heavy rains, so is it really reasonable to think of putting a multimillion dollar r facility on the same flood plane? What visitors - or i students, for that matter - are going to want to drive their cars through water and mud two feet deep? •' Perhaps looking at other options would be wise. Helm said she thought the Rivers Street location ' was the best possible option, considering the fact that classrooms will be included in the building. Some have suggested building the facility in the State Farm area. However, we agree that a location so far away from campus would make it very difficult for students to get to class on time. Getting from State Farm to Walker Hall, for instance, would be next to impossible, even with expanded AppalCart service. The original site planned was the Stadium lot. Unfortunately, that would have eliminated approxi­ mately 500 parking spaces - which. Appalachian definitely can not stand to lose. It would also be situ­ ated in extremely close proximity to several dormi,, tories, creating horrendous confusion during the time it would take to build the Center, and a "concrete campus" in that area upon its completion. With such a small campus, it is going to be very difficult to find a location which is amenable to ev­ eryone involved - students, faculty, staff and towns­ people who will also be affected by the presence of such a facility. However, the effort to do just that should be undertaken seriously, as this building has been approved for construction and will remain with us forever. The editorial board of The Appalachian believes everyone who has a suggestion about why they be­ lieve the ACC should not be located near the base­ ball field or - perhaps more importantly - where they think a better location is, should express it to Appa­ lachian administrators. Finding another location would be better for everyone involved in the long run, and could possibly save the university a lot of money and trouble.

Editorials Editor Clay Barbour Features Editor David Willis Sports Editor Richard Smith Asst. Features Editor Vanessa Urruela Columnist What everyone seems to agree about concerning the anti-gay messages in the tunnel is that they were unneces­ sarily hateful. What nobody seems to want to talk about is the motivation behind such action. It is time for us to wake up and look past the obvious feelings of sympathy most of us had and examine why there are people who agreed with the messages and threats. Gays are the last minority group it is considered "okay" to hate. While there are many reasons for this, the fact is most of them revolve around ignorance and fear. It is al­ ways the unknown that scares people the most. It is estimated that one in 10 people is homosexual. Some people say this figure is probably really much higher. I think it is. The first element I wish to address is the sexual ele­ ment of gay life. Just like straight people, gays should not be defined by what they do in bed. If all the straight people were chastized for sexual activities like oral sex or ldssing in public, there would be a lot less people interested in criticizing sexual behavior at all. What differs between gays and straights is obvious - it's not what you do in bed, but who you do it with.

Just because a man prefers to love and make love with men, does not mean that he desires all men, no more than straight men desire all women. One misconception is that gay people are very pro­ miscuous. Most of the gay people I know are more con­ cerned with finding love than a sexual partner for a fling. I know that this is not true of all gays, but it is also not always true of heterosexuals. Gays are not all slaves to their sexual desires. They are no more likely to hit on a straight person than the straight person is to hit on them. Gays are not more likely to molest children or rape either. Most child molestors are heterosexual males. Gays aren't inherently more violent or perverse than any other group. It is individuals that choose to be deviant, not whole catagories of people. The next element that is often overlooked is the ste­ reotypes that people tend to define gays by. Not all gays are like the ones you see on television or in movies. Why is it so easy for people to realize this about different races, but not about gays? The answer is that it is still "okay" to degrade gays because they are considered to be deviant and weak. The predominant stereotype of a gay male is a man who is effeminate, pays close attention to his appearance, and is perverse. The stereotypical lesbian is a man-hating butch who is a femi-nazi and manly. These characteristics are merely labels. They provoke our society to allow gays to be discriminated against even though they are largely inaccurate. Stereotypes are the way children learn about people and how to treat them. It is sad that people can't grow up long enough to get to know a gay person before they judge them all Judging a homosexual because of what th your peers feed you is like judging all womety T those found on pin-ups found in dorm rooms all pus.

Does anyone remember who they are? Quick...it's been two days since they were published on the front page of The Appalachian. When only eight percent of the student body votes for these figure-heads, one begins to question how important they really are to the students. The only purpose these people have, as I see it, is to give us a little variety in half-time shows. But then again, isn't half-time when everyone stocks up on junk-food and goes to the bathroom? This old and boring tradition forces the Chancellor to take time from his Saturday afternoon nap, and the band has to cut shori their wonderful half-time show, just so the Homecoming Court can be paraded down the field and cash in on 30 seconds of their 15 minutes of fame. According to the Director of the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership Dino Dibernardi, all the rec­ ognized clubs and organizations on campus have the abil­ ity to nominate somebody from their organization. The nominees are then voted on by the all the students. The Homecoming Court is determined by who gets the most votes, and the king and queen are the court mem­ bers who get the most over-all. Basically, what we are looking at is a popularity con­ test. Everytime I think of the expression on Homecoming Queen April D. Worley's face, I'm reminded of Sally Field's second Oscar acceptance speech, when she exclaimed, "You love me. You really love me!" Student Govement Association Director of Public Af­ fairs Misty Rumbley said SGA is trying to give the king and queen more responsibilitites. They will eventually become some sort of representative of our campus. Do we really need another representative of our cam­ pus though? And should it be the Homecoming king and queen? No offense to our majesties, but what sort of re­ quirements did these nominees have to fill before being voted in by popularity? Did the general student body know they were voting for people that would represent us all? Before they go out and become our representatives I want to know if they can speak in public. I don't remember any debates. I don't remember hearing all the nominees talk about what they believe in. What if the students unkowingly vote in a mass-mur­ derer as king, or a pedophile as queen? Are these the kind of people we want to be our representatives? This year is the first year there has been a king. Let it be the last. The Homecoming king and queen should be eliminated before their duties are expanded any more. Save us from any possible embarrasment by them in the future. I don't think anybody will really miss them. Sure, there will be people who write in and complain that I ig­ nored my responsibility as a journalist, that I didn't check the facts. Well, I did check my facts and I came to the conclusion that the king and queen have about as much purpose on campus as the unnamed art in front of Walker Hall. When this sees print, our little bizarre celer of old pagan superstitions and the embracmem, darker sides of our psyche will have come to gat loween, what an unusual holiday.

Disgusted by opinion RAs misrepresented To the Editor: An unsigned editorial berating leaders of a group that has received death threats?! The Appalachian's editorial board really missed the target on this one. What is needed is not blam­ ing the victims — who are not in the least re­ sponsible for what is done to them. Nor is it useful to tell the oppressed what they should do to stop the oppression. We — I assume that at least 90% of us are heterosexuals, and therefore in the oppressor group — need to work on ourselves. We need to give up the oppressor role, and work to help others do the same. To do that, we must first examine the roots of oppression in ourselves and our socialization, and give up the inhuTo the Editor: I would like to express my utter disgust regarding the "Our Opinion" article printed in the last issue. To begin with, B-GLAD is an organiza­ tion devoted to diversity, not to promote a ho­ mosexual lifestyle. Unfortunately, I strongly feel that the article printed conveyed that to the student body. Secondly, I would ask the editorial staff this question: would you have all homosexu­ als and bisexuals draw a target on their fore­ heads? This is not a game anymore. There were death threats on those tunnels walls. DEATH THREATS! It is a known fact that hate crimes begin with threats and then lead to vio­ lence. The President of B-GLAD has every right to be hesitant to print his/her name in your paper. I use the term "your paper" simply be­ cause it seems as if an article such as this ex­ presses only your opinion and not the opinion of the student body as a whole. I do realize that this section is dedicated to your opinion, but I feel the Appalachian staff has a responsi­ mane behaviors that result. These behaviors range from violence, to remaining silent in the face of oppression, to denying our connection to every other human on earth. We must also reach out and be allies to those who are op­ pressed, by acknowledging that they were hurt, by listening without judging to their feelings of fear and anger, and by affirming their right to exist and to be themselves. Let us all use this incident not to continue such behaviors as exhibited in the editorial, which do not work, but as an opportunity to practice new ones. Karl Van Ausdal Music Library bility to the student body to reflect a more di­ verse opinion. You are journalists, not people employed to challenge others to put themselves in a life threatening position. Your reference to Martin Luther King Jr., 1 felt, was completely uncalled for. Although he faced a similar struggle for equal rights for a minority group, the issue of homosexual rights is completely different. We are talking about a different time and a different group of people. People discriminate against homosexu­ als and bisexuals because of their lifestyle, not for their skin color. 1 also do not recall ever hearing of Martin Luther King Jr., with all due respect, ever defending homosexuals during the Civil Rights Movement. In conclusion, I would ask the board of The Appalachian one more question: If you were a homosexual and you saw 50 death threats painted on the tunnel walls, what would you do? Homosexuals and bisexuals may have more "to fear than fear itself." Erin B. Smith ASU Box 11315 Football follie To the Editor: I have never been so embarrassed as I was this past Saturday at Homecoming. This year 1 decided to go with a group of people including my fiance and daughter and several other adult students. We arrived at noon to get a seat in the student section only to find that the entire area had been stakedout by the fraternities. In case you are unfamiliar with this prac­ tice, it means a brother is posted at the end of every third or fourth aisle to protect the area. We picked an unprotected row and sat down. Almost immediately we were ap­ proached by a brother who said, "1 have no authority to ask you to move, but this area is reserved for KA students and alumni." I then asked him where I could find any rule saying that they had the right to bar any student from sitting in this area. He slunk back to his broth­ ers who huddled together to discuss the prob­ lem, close enough and loud enough to be clearly understood. The basic conversation was that they would get us to move. Over the next half-hour we watched them run-off other students and were approached repeatedly to be warned that the brothers and the alumni would be rowdy, drunk and cursing. When the game started the intimidation stopped, but the area was slow to fill, until almost the end of the first quarter. Then I was disappointed to discover that not only were they not rovydy or cursing, they didn't come {o see the game. They sat and socialized and drank, openly mixing drinks and passing vari­ ous bottles around. They stayed through the halftime festivities then thinned out. I was expecting to at least be verbally bashed for daring to sit in a fraternity row. So, what did I find so embarrassing? I was appalled that ASU students would treat anyone so rudely, especially at Homecoming. My fiance was an invited quest and an Alpha Tau Omega alumni brother who was insulted enough to want to leave. It is my understand­ ing that as a full-time student I have the privi­ lege of sitting in the student section if seats are available. These seats were available so we sat. I would suggest that if the brothers all want to sit together in the future that they ei­ ther all arrive early enough to get a seat or pre-purchase a block of seats elsewhere in the stadium! To the Editor: Of all the inaccuracies, misspellings, grammar "don'ts", biases, slanted stories, and other "un-news" that I have seen in the Appa­ lachian, the article below the misspelled word "Appalachian's", concerning "Resident Par­ ents," was the last straw for me. Have you guys ever heard of a thing called perspective? It's a really nifty thing that let's you see all, if not more, sides of a story. This editorial specifically is concerning Resident As­ sistants. I found your article about RA's, at best, completely off-base with what a good RA is and is not. An RA's job is not concerned with just discipline. Your article failed to mention how RA's are trained as para-professional counse­ lors and can deal, and have dealt with, many crisis situations. Your article failed to men­ tion the many skills RAs leam in the three hour class they are required to take to have the job. Your article failed not only to mention how ASU has one of the best Student Development Departments in the nation, but how RA's on this campus alone did over 2,000 educational and social programs last year. Your newspa­ per can feel free to call the Office of Residence Life at 262-2160 to get the exact numbers. It's called getting sources; look into it. Your article also failed to mention other things RA's do on this campus, like attend Staff Developments, weekly reports (which rarely include things about discipline), one-on-one's with their Resident Directors, weekly staff meetings, many RA's attend RSA to show their support for their building, many are involved in committee activities like Homecoming, ser­ vice projects, or any number of other activi­ ties in the hall. They are required to do 11 programs per semester that deal primarily with needs assessment and working together as a staff. On top of all of this, they have to report back, both in writing and verbally, to their Resident Director who is ultimately responsible for what goes on in their hall. RA's aren't parents, policemen, detectives, snoops, baby-sitters, or whatever else your paper or any person on this campus wants to call them; they are there as a mentor, a friend, a role-model for the hall, and if they are doing their job correctly, they are there to remind people that there are consequences for their actions. They are there to establish commu­ nity, build trust among the residents, and to intervene in crisis and other counseling situa­ tions. They are there to provide a safe and nurturing environment so that we can all grow and leam from our residence hall experiences. They are there to key you into your room and, in some halls, spend in the upwards of 30minutes at a time doing so. The bottom line is this: RA's serve in many capacities on this and other campuses around the nation. The next time your paper or any other entity on this campus decides to look at an RA as a "par­ ent," I challenge you to look deeper and real­ ize what RAs really do. I'd bet that if one were to ask their RA what they spend their time doing with this job, they'd be surprised. It's the most difficult, frustrating, rewarding, chal­ lenging job anyone could have. If you think about it, every RA on this campus is under a microscope and being evaluated by everyone they encounter. That's not easy. RA's do this job because they love the interaction with resi­ dents, not for the money or because they are looking to be a parent. morals and values. As far as I know, morals and values are rights and wrongs. But how can you stand for something you just said you do not know? In my opinion, it is this belief that is causing so much havoc in our society. When there is no established right and wrong, there is not a standard to live by. When there is no standard to live by, individual freedom and rights are violated. We must remember that with freedom comes responsibility. Our country today is constantly debating what is "moral." Abortion, welfare, television violence, sex education, etc. All these contro­ versies are contributing to the moral deficit we are facing. And just like the monetary deficit, this one is also growing. I like to use this analogy: Football is a game that has rules. There are penalties, re­ wards, violations, stoppages of play, and con­ sequences. The game simply cannot be played if these rules are not enforced. Our society, in its inability to define a clear right and wrong, is attempting to play a game of football with out any rules. Now, we know this cannot be done. In fact, the result looks nothing like the game intended. I think you see my point. In any game, or society, there has to be estab­ lished rights and wrongs - rules to play by otherwise, there is no game. Secondly, you commented on a certain Christian group's "bribery" to supposedly "per­ petuate their faith." Well, what I saw on cam­ pus that day, Ms. Galgoci, was what many bumper stickers call a random act of kindness. There was no threat, no pressure, no obliga­ tion. You've taken generosity and made it into a monster. I think it just goes to show where we are as a society when an obvious act of love and friendship not only goes unnoticed, but is also regarded as wrong. Finally, you closed your writing by com­ menting on the social deviance act that also took place on campus. You wrote, "the project was carried out as an academic project and neither fits in with this discussion, nor does it stand as someone trying to insult another's religion." Well, I must disagree on all three accounts. You see, what made it a "social de­ viance" act was that it did insult another's re­ ligion; academics had nothing to do with what happened; and it has everything to do with what your discussion was about - it was a right vs. wrong controversy. Again, I must reiterate that a society with­ out rules cannot exist. Our courtrooms every­ day are destroying the standards by which we have lived for the past 200 years. Study his­ tory. You will see that all prosperous empires have been destroyed. Why is that? They lost sight of what kept them strong - they turned away from the order that got them where they were. I, too, welcome any response. A discus­ sion of this in further detail is in proper order. I don't claim to know everything, but I do know what history has taught me. It seems that if we had a little more knowledge of the past, we might not have these problems in the fu­ ture. Jason Holt Baldwin ASU Box 17389 e-mail: JB4314 Judgement needs debate To the Editor: I would like to remark on Theresa Galgoci's letter to the editor which was in the October 26 edition of the Appalachian. Ms. Galgoci concluded her writing by welcoming any response, so here is mine. I totally agree, Ms. Galgoci, with your opposition to the man and woman who car­ ried the aggressive and condemning sign around campus the other week. In fact, I took the opportunity to confront the couple and ask them about their faith, question their motives, and inquire as to what results they were seek­ ing. Just to satisfy any curiosity, he claimed no denominational affiliation, nor recognized himself with any church body. He simply claimed one thing, that of having a desire to help others gain a right relationship with God. Of course his method -of "helping" js in quesUgryjJnd this T&where we agfde. Nit tdo many religions can deny the need to be a stepping stone for others to know God. This man, in my opinion, was more of a stumbling block. Let us remember how Jesus handled the ston­ ing of a woman caught in adultery. He said, "He who is without sin cast the first stone." No one threw anything. We are not justified to pass judgement. Sharing your faith is one thing, condemnation is another. However, though I agree with you so far, I have a few concerns regarding the rest of your letter. You wrote, "I don't claim to know what is right and wrong, however, I do have values and morals I do stand up for." Maybe it is just me, but I don't see how a lack of knowledge of right and wrong can lead to a knowledge of Suzanne D. Faircloth ASU Box 7837 II Scott A.

Michael Kendziora each donated a blan­ ket and some canned food before Saturday's Homecoming game because they realized what a hard time winter must be for people who can't afford heat and groceries. "We especially wanted to help with the drives after we heard that the Hunger Coalition is low on canned food, and we figured that a couple of blankets could do a lot of good for someone who needs them," said Lewis. Although the organizers of the drive con­ sider it a success, they are already planning ways to improve upon the campaign. Getting alumni involved, having off-campus SGA sena­ tors travel around their apartment complexes collecting food, and setting up can collection points right in the residence halls are likely additions to the "Make a Difference Day" project next year. You saw the banners hanging in Sanford ill last week. You saw students waiting pantjy for donations behind a booth in the stu­ nt union. Did you just walk on by, or did u take time out of your day to help the cause? rtunately, there were a large number of juntaineers who didn't just walk on by. By jday afternoon, SGA and Appalachian and »Community Together (ACT) were on their iy to reaching their goal of collecting 200 tnkets and 700 cans of food for the Watauga ,unty Hunger Coalition. Last week's food and blanket drives were rt of the Hunger Coalition's "Make a Differce Day," an annual event designed to give >d and warmth to those in need. Though ipalachian has participated in this relief ef1 many times before, there seemed to be a >sh sense of excitement that inspired a later amount of participation. "The fact that this year's 'Make a Differce Da/ fell on our homecoming was a real ssing for the food drive. I think the homeming spirit helped the campus to really get pched about giving back to the community," id senior Yi-Chun Lai. Senior E. Brian hnson, a member of both the SGA and ACT lped coordinate the two drives. "At the ACT ice and at SGA, we thought this was a great :a to get students motivated and mobilized do something really practical and easy, but nothing that would really make a difference the community," said Johnson. The acil day on which the Hunger Coalition hoped make a difference was Saturday, but SGA d ACT decided that Appalachian could lend ire of a helping hand if the project was made last throughout the week of homecoming. Members of SGA and ACT spent much of t week calling other student organizations solicit their help with the week-long drive, hough many campus organizations plan to Id their own food drives later in the year, a xl number of them were more than happy pledge their support and bring in cans and nkets. Many fraternities and sororities brought tations to the booth that was set up in front ;he stadium before the homecoming game. ;shmen Sigma Nu pledges Robert E. Lewis If you were living under a rock last week and missed the chance to show your humanitarianism, there will be an even bigger hunger crusade in November. From Monday Nov. 13 until Friday Nov. 17, SGA and ACT will team up once again (this time with other organiza­ tions helping out from the start) to put on Appalachian's annual Hunger and Homelessness Campaign. The week before Thanksgiving will have events and activities to raise Appalachian students' consciousness of the poverty around the world, as well as in Watauga County. Senior Lauren S.

Steven Mackay Reporter Director Gus Van Sant's satirical drama "To Die For" (Rated "R") is just that: a wild peek at murder, ambition and television celebrity. Hats off to its drop dead (literally) star, Nicole Kidman, who is destined for absolute stardom. Told in a series of mock interviews and flashbacks, "To Die For" tells the story of Suzanne Stone (Kidman), a lass who will do anything to become a superstar TV news re­ porter. Suzanne's dream to become the new Bar­ bara Walters is an uphill battle. She's working at a rinky-dink local cable station that prides itself on its weather forecasts and not much else. She's married to a well-meaning lughead and family restautant operator (Matt Dillon) who wants her to succeed, but feels like a third wheel on that motorcycle called marriage. This makes her feel guilty, so what's a girl to do? Well, kill hubby and wait for the fame and pity to pour in. Suzanne has been working on a documen­ tary about teen-agers at the local town high school. Her three subjects are natural born losers who turn into natural born killers, thanks to hefty dishings of seduction, lies, wild sex and psychological games.

Af­ ter he blows hubby's brains out, Suzanne drops Jimmy and his pals like an empty toilet paper roll. The results are a bit of a surprise, thanks to screenwriter Buck Henry, who also plays a rolled-up magazine wielding principal. After languishing in do-nothing roles in "Batman Forever" and "Far and Away," Kidman has finally found her milestone film. From now on, people will refer to Tom What's-His-Name as Mr. Kidman. When it comes to satire, some actors either play too silly or too stiffly. Kidman, on the other hand, hits the mark just right - she mixes sexiness, danger, loving warmth and aloof coldness into one heck of a shake. If she told me to kill somebody, my immediate response would be to wipe the drool off my chin and say, "Sure!". The big surprise that Henry throws in at the end is enjoyable and funny, but it's also off base for this type of film. I don't want to give anything away, but Van Sant and Henry should have taken a "Natural Born Killers" approach to the climax, instead they throw in a dose of poetic justice, or maybe it's tragic irony. Still, in today's media culture where crime does pay, it's not that much of a hindrance to see some­ thing done right. Even if it is in the movie world.

Mike Daniels David Willis Sports Editor Virginia Military's Geoff Goff booted a 44yard field goal and Appalachian's Scott F. Satterfield, of Hillsborough, N.C., was picked off on the1-yard line as VMI stunned the Moun­ taineers 26-23 in overtime and robbed ASU of its first Southern Confemce Title since 1991. . That was last year, do not think that it will happen again. "Revenge is not going to be a factor," said ASU linebacker Dexter Coakley. "It will be in our minds, but we'll prepare for them the way we prepare for everyone and we are going to go out and play ASU football." If you think revenge will not be a factor, you are fooling yourself. Last year VMI was 0- 10 and Appalachian was poised for its first home playoff game since 1987. VMI tailback Thomas Haskins rushed for 225 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carrries. Appalachian as a team only had 181. The Mountaineers had four turnovers in the game, including three Satterfield interceptions, while coming up with only one turnover of their own. This year, the Mountaineers are only al­ lowing 100.9 rushing yards per game and have only given up100 yards to an individual rusher twice, NC A&Ts Milton Shaw and to Marshall's Chris Parker. Do not expect another incred­ ible performance from Haskins. Last week, Appalachian defeated UT-Chattanooga 31-18 and the Mountaineer defense only gave up 83 yards rushing, to a backfield that boasted the Southern Conference's Offen­ sive and Freshman Players-of-the-Week com­ ing into the game. The App offense rushed for 225 yards, led by tailback n of Cedar Grove, N.C. Satterfield game throwing the ball, goin , 1 yards and one TD.

Spartans continue dominance over Lady Spikers Mike Daniels Reporter Appalachian's Lady Spikers dropped an out of conference match for the first time since September with a 3-1 loss at UNC-Greensboro on Monday. The last time the Appalachian State women's volleyball team lost an out of confer­ ence match was September 30th against UNCGreensboro in the championship match of College of Charleston tournament in Charles­ ton, South Carolina. Greensboro had also beaten Appalachian back on September13 here in Boone. Things were bad for Appalachian right away, as UNC-Greensboro came out on the attack and took both of the first two games by the score of 15-10. In the third game, with the match on the line, the Mountaineers managed to pull together and fight out a16-14 win over the home team. Unfourtunately for the Lady Apps, the Spartans proved that they could play above their normal level too. The home team came out in the fourth game and killed Appalachian's comeback hopes by the score of 15-3. Some of the stars for Appalachian in this match were Sheri L. Leverette of Lakeland, FL, who led the team in kills with 15 and digs with 24. Erica J. Bahry of Etobicoke, Ontario also turned in a fine performance, tying Leverette for the lead in kills and registering 12 digs. Appalachian's record now falls to 19-9 Damon Scott (43) puts the ball over the line for a touchdown in a fight for the endzone againsll ] Saturday. Scott ran for 111 yards last year in the loss against VMI. (Photo by Nate Mountjoil with one third of those losses coming to UNCGreensboro.

Field hockey woes continue Hyun Kwon Reporter ASU field hockey's defense surrounds an opponent. (File photo) With a lot of ups and downs, the field hockey team lost to Georgetown on Sunday, 4-1. "It was disappointing that we lost," commented captain Ingrid Ola Stamberg, a senior from Barnesville, Maryland. "We just couldn't pull it to­ gether." Megan Lee Corradino, a junior from Norfolk, Virginia, took a shot from the inside circle making a goal in the first half for the Mountaineers with an assist from Heather Marie Gleason, a freshman from St. Louis, Missori. "We started off very strong," ex­ plained captain Elena Diane Moore, a senior from Huntingtown, Maryland, "but Georgetown came back hard and scored within the next ten seconds. We fell apart both defensivly and offensivly." Head Coach Cathy Burleson stated, "We had a good start, but it hits hard psychologically when the other team scores so fast. It sucks the wind out of you." The team had seven inside circle shots, one which gave the squard a goal, and twelve outside shots. Stamberg had 25 saves and Forward Barry Elizabeth Clyatt, a senior from Greeneville, Dela­ ware, showed great preformance with her nice shots and consistant game. The second half gave the ladies a hard time. "We never regrouped to­ gether as a team and just went down hill," exclaimed Coach Burleson. " Our strength is to play as a team because as individuals we can't win. Also, the girls get frustrated because we can't win making it hard to play." The Lady Mountaineers will be playing against Catawba Wenesday, Nov 1. They had a scrimmage against Catawba where they got a win. Hope­ fully they can capture another win be­ fore going into the Deep South Tourna­ ment. * Men's soccer struggles on the ra David Willis Sports Editor Appalachian's men's soccer team suffered a couple of losses over the past week to a couple of nationally ranked teams, losing to North Carolina 2-1 and UNC-Greensboro 6-2. Last Wednesday, the Apps traveled to Chapel Hill and played a very close match with the Tar Heels. The Heels jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first half. UNC's Kerry Zavagnin put the Heels on the board with 21:18 gone in the game. Appalachian's defense stepped up and held North Carolina to just four shots on goal in the first half. Following the intermission, the Heels came out on the offensive and added another goal at the 56:31 mark in the half, to take the 2-0 lead. Appalachian fought back and got on the board with a goal of its own at the 68:43 mark. Naoshi Yamauchi scored his second goal of the season by drilling a shot past UNC goalie Dimity Drouin.

That is when they became aware of the ACC plans. "In the study we see a minimal rise in level and flow, but three to five inches really affects us (the mall), " said Bamett. As of April 1993, FEMA regulations stood at 31.26. What used to be the 100-year flood, now comes about once a year and the 50-year flood comes twice a year. Any increase in velocity or total water coming through is a problem, said Bamett. "Our plea is that you look very carefully at what it (the ACC) will do. We hope you find additional fund­ ing to study the water impact." Rob Holton, owner of Holton Management, said he thought the con­ vocation center would be a super as­ set to Appalachian and the community. He agreed that the present location was the only reasonable site which met the criteria needed. He was concerned, though, about two issues. One concern was the deci­ bel level that would be created from the cooling tower for the ACC build­ ing. He said 400 students live in that immediate area. Holton was also wor­ ried about where the extra water from roof drains and paved areas would be disposed. Gail Knox, a town member, said Appalachian should address the prob­ lems now because 25-50 years down the road would be too late to start worrying about anything'. Knox was uncertain as to how traffic would be controlled, especially event days.

She said 18,000 attended the game; whereas, the ACC would only hold 10,000. She empha­ sized that most people attending the special events would be parked away from campus and shuttled in. The special events at the ACC also would not be as frequent as the football games, said Helm. Helm also said a 500-car parking deck would be built behind the Aca­ demic Support building to accommo­ date the people attending the ACC. Remote parking and shuttles will be used at the times when the 10,000 seats would be filled. Knox also brought up the ques­ tion of the energy efficiency of the fu­ ture building. Mark Zack, vice presi­ dent of Hakan, Corley, Redfoot, Zack, Inc.architectual firm, said one example of what they will construct is the use energy efficient lighting. Three-tube figures will allow only one of the three to be turned on in each classroom, if so desired. "The cooling tower is de­ signed into several segments," said Zack. He said it does not all have to be used at the same time. John Council, a town member who was concerned about the flood problem, said he distinctly remem­ bered the flood of 1940. "It's amazing how much water can come off that mountain," he said. Helm said this is a $30 million project and it would not even be con­ sidered as a site if they thought it would be flooded. "We feel in many ways this location will better serve the community," said Helm. Helm said ASU is not closing its eyes and ears to new suggestions from the town. "It's not a done deal." Stadium lot was the first serious location studied for the ACC. The two main problems with that site were (1) it was not large enough and (2) it would have eliminated 500 parking spots. After she and the ACC commit­ tee saw how the building would look visually, the new location was pro­ posed in May. They are currently look­ ing at bridging Rivers Street; a tunnel had been planned. "We are looking for a state of the art facility." " TOLL FREE 1-800-467-4581 IDON SMITH HONDA • DON SMITH HONDA * DON SMITH HONDA • DON SMITH HONDA • DON SMITH HOND o NEED A PLACE TO LIVE?

(Photos by Robert Parriott) Speak out1 against hate 'Students, community eact to messages if violence in tunnels mee Cagle laff Writer Concerned faculty and community mbers put together a "speak out" against te crimes and intolerance on Oct. 25, eight after the Rivers Street tunnels were van­ ned. The speak out was an open forum that owed students and community members to :et and talk about the messages of hate ainst homosexuals that were spray painted the tunnels. One faculty member said there Te over 50 actual death threats in the tunIs. "The more we voice our outrage, the we empower irselves," said Dr. dissa E. Barth , dictor of women's ncerns. She also id that by doing this ey would take back e Power from the ople who hate. Mary L. •ichel, university liatian, was the oderator of the forum and read a letter from 'ancellor Francis T. Borkowski. Borkowski this act of hate "denigrates the human spirit reflects the intent of the perpetrators to anize and isolate people of difference." He o said this issue must be addressed and can•* tolerated, j Many students were shocked that this L° tbing could happen in Boone, where so pfy different people live together and go to . same classes. Several people had questions )re OASIS is granted money for improvements about the messages being criminal acts. One student asked if the acts are prosecutable and if hate groups could be kicked out of school. Although 17 states in the United States currently have laws against hate crimes, North Carolina is not one of them. Appala­ chian State does have a policy prohibiting these types of crimes, however. One student said that many people did not think what happened in the tunnels was very important, but that this attitude is wrong and death threats are not protected by the First Amendment. Many of the people agreed that this issue of hate and intolerance needs to be talked about and that the forum helped to bring about the healing of those hurt and an­ gered by the messages in the tunnels. A few of the mes­ sages in the tunnels were from the Bible. One such message was from Leviticus, which stated that homosexuals would be killed. Christians on campus were ap­ palled by the mes­ sages and supported the efforts to repaint the tunnels, stating that, "My God does not condemn like this." "The messages painted on the tun­ nels force the issue," said one person. "It's a chance for people not gay and lesbian to talk about hate crimes." Another said the mes­ sages gave people an opportunity to reach out and have a dialogue with people they normally "The more we voice our outrage, the more we empower ourselves. see Speak Out page 2 Index Fairness Accuracy ano PubFe Service sire® 193S Office Hours: Monday- Friday 8-5 ,CWs & sP°"s 262-3104 Hela Brady , Editor In Chief 262-6149 n is Page 4...

Laurie Lyda Reporter The Opposing Abuse with Service, Information and Shelter (OASIS) Organization was recently granted $37,000 for improve­ ments through a Community Development Block Grant Local Option project. The project was included in $635,000 in grants through a new municipal program that uses local resources to obtain state and federal funds to sustain community develop­ ment projects. The grant comes almost in conjunc­ tion with DomesticViolence Awareness month, which is October. "The OASIS shelter is in dire need of repairs," said Jennifer Herman, the shelter's director. As many major renovations and up­ grades will be made as the money allows. They are still trying to determine what needs to be done, though Herman did say the instal­ lation of handicapped ramps is being planned. Victims' emotional responses to hate violence Response* Percent Anger at perpetrator 67.8 Fear that family or self would be injured 50.8 Sadness about the incident 35.6 Feeling of powerlessness to do anything about the incident 20.3 Suspicion of other people 20.3 Fear that family or self would be killed 18.6 Feeling bad about self as a person 5.1 *59 people surveyed Source: Social Work, May 1994 A committee will meet with the town this week to get their approval for the money allocations. The money must then go through a bidding process. OASIS hopes to begin reno­ vations in the next couple of months. OASIS is the only organization that deals with domestic violence and sexual abuse victims in this area. It serves Alleghany, Ashe, Avery and Watauga counties, which have an estimated total population of 83,000. Herman said she has seen an increase in the past couple of years, which could be at­ tributed to increasing population and society's heightened awareness through available edu­ cational programs. "I feel that society is be­ ginning to utilize its services," she said. Herman said the use of the shelter fluctuates. Last year OASIS served 121 clients, housed 60 clients and 47 children, and an­ swered 350 crisis calls. New York loft losing money Heidi Dull Reporter Faculty and students voiced their opinions at a special forum held Oct. 26 in I.G. Greer Auditorium about Appalachian State giving up the New York loft. Appalachian has rented the loft at 67 Bestry St. since 1973. The idea behind rent­ ing the loft was proposed by William Dunlap, a former art professor at Appalachian. The forum was moderated by Dr. Clinton R. Parker, senior associate vice chan­ cellor of academic affairs. Parker said the loft is losing as much as $4,000 a month. For the 1994-1995 school year the loft lost $22,000. The operating cost for the 1994-1995 school year is just over $100,000.

When the Gaelic people arrived in the United States, the Catholic observance of All Hallows Eve and All Saints Day began. The colonists began the cus­ tom of holding gatherings at the farm­ houses on the night of Oct. 31 and served apples and nuts. These fruits were served because this was the time for them to be ripe. Halloween was often called "Snap Apple Night" or "Nutcrack Night" in pioneer days. They also discovered that American pumpkins were excellent for making jack-o'-lanterns. These carved faces have become traditional for Hal­ loween. It was not until after the great Irish immmigration in the 1840s that Halloween became a nationally observed holiday in the United States. The background for vandalism on the holiday is a result of the belief of the Irish that the "little people" constantly hovered about the homes of the mor­ tals and that they were especially ac­ tive on Halloween. Several reasons exist for Hal­ loween masquerading. One sugges­ tion for this practice came from a me­ dieval custom of celebrating Allhallows. Allhallows Day is on Nov. 1 and is a day dedicated to the memory of the saints. On Allhallow's eve, each church displayed the saint that was its patron in a solemn procession. As churches became more numerous, less saints were available to use as sym­ bols. Because of this, the people mas­ queraded to represent their own pa­ tron saints. Those who chose not to dress as a holy person still wanted to participate, so they dressed up as an­ gels or devils.

Louise Barth to perform at Appalachian Nov. 15 Dance artist Louise Barth will present "Crones, Dolls and Rag­ ing Beauties" Nov. 15 at 8 p.m. in Ap­ palachian State University's Valborg Theatre. The performance is free and open to the public. Rarth's performance consists of five senti autobiographical dance pieces which explore the experiences of women from childhood to old age. The first piece, "Hearts and Water," uses talking, singing and movement to paint a pictui e of Barth s mother, a dynamic and independent woman. "A Raging Beauty Made Your Bed" presents a day in the life of an artist, mother and wife. "My Only Living Memory" combines words and movement to describe Barth's father, who refuses to recognize his young daughter's exist­ ence in child support court. "Doll Pieces," a dance and puppetry piece, uses two rag doll pup­ pets to explore the role of dolls in a child's life. The last piece, "Crone," ex­ amines the life, fire and energy hid­ den beneath the physical appearance of an old woman. The Atlanta Constitution says Barth has been choreograph­ ing and performing her work since 1980, and has won awards from the Georgia Council for the Arts and Atlanta's Bureau of Cultural Affairs.

Appalachian must give six to nine months notice if they intend to get out of the lease. For this reason, the loft could not be given up until December of 1996. A board member, Dr. Melissa E.

For $18 a night these people have had a place to stay while they learn about the culture and craft only New York City can provide. Last Thursday an open forum was held to discuss whether or not Appalachian should continue to keep the loft. Members of the administration feel that the loft is not being used enough and they are losing too much money, therefore it should be closed and other options should be explored. Some passionate students and fac­ ulty members feel that the loft is too much of an asset to the university to lose. The fact of the matter is that they are both right. The university lost $22,000 supporting the loft last year, and it only drew about 300 people. Knowing that the loft is costing the university alot of money, and considering the fact that it is not used very do tend to be children's books. Ingrid Newkirk, National Director of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, has penned a tome entitled "Kids Can Save the Animals! 101 Easy things to Do." On page 41, in a passage urging kids to eschew poultry, the book gives kids the following instructions: "Learn to appreciate chickens and other do­ mestic birds for the wonderful individuals they are.

Send letters to the editor to ASU Box 9025, or via e-mail: HEAPP@conrad. appstate.edu John Lane Managing Editor Surely everyone has heard the phrase, "get a room," and understands its meaning. If not, then you are probably someone, or part of a couple, who is usually the target of the state­ ment. When walking across this campus, it seems that more and more people consider the most populated place, such as Sanford Mall, to be their living room. Public displays of af­ fection (or down right sexual aggression) are on the rise. PDA used to be taboo. A goodnight kiss at your date's door after a night of holding hands was the extent of showing affection for your romantic interest of the time. However, with the coming of the '60s, people began to open up a little, mostly due to the changing moral climate in all things around the world and the free love spirit: "Make love, not war!" Of course, no one except the Beatles said, "Why Don't We Do It In the Road?" yet along with the '70s and the controversial heighten­ ing of casual sex, people began thinking, "If everyone is doing it, why be so guarded?" From the early '80s and into the '90s, using the divorce rate as an indicator, true intimacy and love declined, but the public acceptance of PDAs rose. PDA simply wasn't considered taboo anymore. Why? Not only are PDAs an unsightly addition to the views of passersby, it should also be an embarrassment to the parties involved. Is there a definitive need to invite everyone around to see your most intimate moments? Personally, I'd rather not. Especially in a scenario such as the one I see every day in Sanford Hall. When walking to my class, there is always a couple, arms wrapped around each other tightly enough to impede breathing and faces so close that it is most likely impossible to see each other in fo­ cus. They are giving each other rather explicit kisses in between heavily intimate conversa­ tion such as, "Did you get your homework done last night?" or "Why, yes, I did have a clove of garlic with my lunch." What makes this even worse is that the "conversation" usually ends with, "Be careful... I'll miss you." And, at the end of that exorbitandy long, 50-minute class, they meet again, right outside the class, to do it all again - they must miss each other terribly. When I posed the question to one of my friends who engages regularly in public dis­ plays of aggression, she told me that she had to let her boyfriend know how much she cared for him (emotionally and physically) before they left each other's presence because you never know what will happen to the other when you are apart. I can understand this rea­ soning if your love is getting on a plane to Iraq, but I am fairly certain nothing detrimental will happen to them during the hour (or less) that they sit in a classroom in Sanford Hall, regard­ less of how harsh the teacher may be. Please don't misunderstand me, I think it is wonderful when two people are in love and want to be with each other all the time. It is even easy for me to see that you want to let the world know (if anyone really cares) that you are in love, but your mouth and toungue can work together in a different way than locked to someone else's to let that fact be known. Anymore, kissing is only the most com­ mon form of PDA. Heavy petting is also be­ coming more mainstream. For example, un­ der one of the shade trees by the duck pond is not the place to lay down a blanket and plop down upon one another. Maybe it started out as a nice afternoon nap, but if one thing leads to another, that is the time to hike back to the dorms. Now, I do realize that part of the joy of sex is supposed to be in its spontaneity, but this goes a little too far. I'm sure you can hold off for a few minutes while getting back to your own abode. The main point I want to make here is \L V" that the term once used for a person's love in­ terest was their "private affairs," and they should remain so. Things such as sex (and kissing is a part of it) are more special when shared solely between two people. This is whether you are inviting everyone to watch through a public display or discussing it after j• the fact with your friends - either way it be­ comes public knowledge. Public displays of aggression are not nec­ essary to prove your love, and I venture no one else cares to see how you would do so. A kiss is an intimate thing; share it exclusively with your special someone. The Appalachian is now accepting applications for the positions of news and editorials editors.

Many of these appendages are lomed with a form of artistic expression that U received a revival of late: tattoos. Tattooing has been going on as long as jn has had art to commit to skin. There's en a law in the Bible forbidding the Hebrews )m adorning their flesh with tattoos. Apirently, tattoos have been taboo since their ception. Maybe their permanence turns opie off, maybe it's the pain involved or jybe it's just the cost. Despite the stigma still attached to tattooj, it remains appealing to people of all ages. ie resurgence is high among the young genation. Look around at the exposed parts of e people around you. Tattoos are on the dies of your fellow Mountaineers, kind ader, and some of them are shedding their jthes to show you. Freshman Christine A. Klinker of Hickory is decorated herself with three tattoos, two which she got in Costa Rica. She attributes •tting them to "a rebellious thing. I just ought they were neat," says Klinker. The ices of her tattoos ranged from a $3 do-it- 1 you Students show support for march yourself job to a $50 professional piece of work. Klinker is quite fond of her flesh art. "1 like them and 1 think everybody should have one," says Klinker. "It shows character." Joel R. Parrish, a sophomore from Raleigh, has his arm adorned with a self-inflicted tat­ too. Why get a tattoo, much less do it your­ self? "I just wanted to do it," says Parrish. Apparendy, controlling the needle yourself al­ leviates some of the pain involved. "(The pain) wasn't that bad," says Parrish. "It's kind of like scratching yourself when you have sunburn." Spontaneity seems to be the main moti­ vation people have for getting tattoos. Rich­ ard L. Burleson echoes this sentiment, saying he got his tattoos to seize the moment. Burleson's tattoos, two of which are dragons, reflect his interests. The third, a tribal design, was received on a trip to the southwest United States. "I was 18, in the Navy and stupid. I thought it would be cool," says senior J. Clay Barbour of Raleigh. "It's not as neat as I thought it was when I was 18." However, Barbour says he does not regret getting the tattoo. "I had the foresight to at least get a tattoo where it wouldn't show." Some people avoid spontaneity when de­ ciding on something as permanent as a tat­ too. Senior Richard J. Smith of Pilot Moun­ tain says, "I thought for a long time about the artwork that I was getting on (my arm) and decided that I could live with it there for the rest of my life." Smith's tattooing experience was by no means off the cuff. "I was always into art, ever since I was little. The idea of having art on me and making myself unique has Perrin Avent Reporter always been appealing," says Smith. The thought of having artwork perma­ nently placed on their body scares some people. Freshman James L. Campbell of New Jersey was about to get a tattoo when a thought oc­ curred to him that he didn't like. "It sticks with you forever, and if you get it in more than the three colors that are removable, then you're never getting rid of it," says Campbell. There are plenty of things to think about when getting a tattoo. Keep in mind that it will be with you forever. Not just college, not just the time you spend in a band, not how long you date that guy/girl you're with - it's forever. If you can't take pain, think twice about getting a tattoo. There is a degree of pain involved, but don't trust someone else's estimation, since everyone reacts differently. Make sure there are no serious hazards to your personal health when getting a tattoo. If you choose to get a tattoo, be sure to check the safety and sterility of the artist performing the work. And save your lunch money; some of these beauties cost a pretty penny. ••• ••• • v • . r- I Li. • IM!,1 s 1 • r*!. v i - ' ' - iL Appalachian students bare their body to display their passion for skin art.

(Photos by Ken Larking) Appalachian student focuses in on future ay Barbour atures Editor While most students spend their days fan­ ning about life after college, one Appalaan senior is aggressively pursuing his goal. Jonny D. "Wishbone" Beall, a native of Richmond Va., is slowly chipping away at the wall between him and his dream of being an outdoor pho­ tographer. Beall, who spe­ cializes in what he calls "extreme sports" photo­ graphs, was bitten by the photo bug in high school. Beall "People were telling me I should go h P otography in college, but a lot of people g e t^lere was no money in it," says Beall. eall started out at Lees MacRae with a g scholarship, a sport that still monopoP his photos. "When I came back, some professors and friends urged me to try to sell my photo­ graphs," says Beall. "Alpine Ski Center called me about their 'Ski Season' catalog and that got the ball rolling." Beall says most of his work has come from positive word of mouth. "I haven't really sent many portfolios out. People have heard about my work and contacted me." Making a living selling your photographs Monday, Oct. 16 was a time of medita­ tion and reflection for the almost 50 Afri­ can-American students who attended the candlelight vigil giving tribute to those at the Million Man March in Washington D. C. The March, headed by Nation of Islam leader, Minister Louis Farrakhan, and veteran Civil Rights leader Rev. Benjamin Chavis Jr., received headline attention as black men from the U. S. as well as the world gathered at the nation's capital to take back responsi­ bilities for their lives and their actions in a peaceful assembly of prayer, song and atone­ ment. On Appalachian's campus AfricanAmerican students did the same, as the Black Student Association (BSA) held their own "march" for those students who wanted to recognize it and for those who couldn't at­ tend the march in Washington. BSA President, senior Michelle D. Simmons, said the association did it "for the males who couldn't go and thought there should be something and believed many should show interest." At 6:30 p.m., students congregated at the fountain area on Sanford Mall where BSA chairpersons handed out candles and purple and black ribbons. The black was a sign for the black males and the purple stood for strength. African-American males, amid the glow of candlelight, led the way as the group marched from the fountain area to the Stu­ dent Union where students gathered around tables and expressed their feelings on the march in Washington. Feelings of pride and unity entered the discussions as students expressed how re­ lieved and pleased they were that AfricanAmerican males decided to take a stand for themselves. Many believed the success was attributed to the spirituality they said was possessed by the over 1.5 million marchers that organizers said showed up. "The power of God was just so good," expressed Winston-Salem resident, senior Darrick A. Claiborne, one of the males in at­ tendance for the vigil. Some of the students believed tRe pressure African-Amencan males are under is because of the loss of their spirituality over time. Sophomore Nakia Hardy, of Burlington, expressed her concern in saying, "We need to start praying. It's going to make a difference in your life and the life of those around you." Problems believed to be the focus for the Million Man March weren't all the prob­ lems associated with it. Accusations of sex­ ism were not uncommon to the "March." Since the "March" was aimed primarily at the involvement of black men, some women felt neglected in their role of support. However, that was not the case for some of the African-American women on campus. We've lifted the men up in so many ways. It's not us who need the strength right now," said Junior Kim D. Jones, a Winston-Salem native. see Support page 9 is not easy. "You have to pay your dues," says Beall. This includes working for a number of small pub­ lications. "Stick with it. You may have to start small, but that's what it takes," says Beall.

(Photo by Clay Barbour) Movie Review Steven Mackay Reporter Now and whenevt Demi Moore is a popular lady. How else can you explain two of her movies opening one week after another? Alas, this otherwise wonderful actress is in an unfortunate rut. Her un-novel drama, "The Scarlet Letter" is an ab­ solute fumble, and the just released comedydrama "Now and Then" (PG-13] is a story about growing up that never quite grows up. "Now and Then" is the story of four life­ long friends who reunite in the present day and take a stroll down memory lane to their budding teen-age years in 1970. It's another one of those hanky movies; women cry into them and men try and hide under them. To be honest, Moore appears on screen for about 10 minutes of the "Now" part, but she does narrate the entire "Then" section. During this flashback, Gaby Hoffman ("Sleep­ less in Seattle") plays the younger Moore. The rest of the cast consists of Christina Ricci ("Casper") as a young Rosie O'Donnell, Thora Birch ("Patriot Games") as a young Melanie Griffith and Asleigh Aston Moore (I don't know her, but she isn't related to Demi) as a young Rita Wilson. Again, the older ac­ tresses appear on screen for only a brief time. The story of the girls' coming of age is horribly cliched.

From there, their strengths could be shared with each other. "Take it back to the communities, but first educate yourself," was very much agreed upon by the group.

The Mountaineers managed to outshoot Georgia Southern in both halves but couldn't seem to get one to cross the goal line. Meanwhile, Geor­ gia Southern found themselves with breakaways where they outmanned Appalachian and consequently were able to score two goals. Appalachian could not seem to get these opportu­ nities as Head Coach Tracy Davis ex­ plained, "Georgia Southern had people packed in and really clogging the middle of the field when we had shots on goal, and it just proved too diffi­ cult to score in traffic like that." The Mountaineers were led in shots by Brooke Satterfieldwith seven. Satterfield finished the regular season with a total of 54 shots and seven goals to lead the team in both categories. The time in goal for Appalachian was split between Kelly Guinn and Allison Wahl. The pair combined for three saves bringing their season total to 165. The loss ended the team's regu­ lar season with a 3-15-1 overall mark with an 0-6 record in the conference. The Mountaineers will play next in the Southern Conference Tournament which begins Nov. 3.

After dropping the first game, the Appalachian State Women's volleyball team came back to win three in-a-row to defeat East Tennessee State in Johnson City last Thursday. The Lady Spikers had to stuggle in the first two games dropping the opener 11-15 and then fighting out a 15-11 win in the second one.

Satterfield from Hillsborough, N.C. found a wide open Otis Smith from Imnam, S.C., for a 58-yard touch­ down in the first quarter Saturday and Appalachian never looked back as they defeated UT-Chattanooga 31-18. The 1995-96 Mountaineer football team has rewritten the record books as it now owns a perfect 8-0 record. No other ASU football squad has ever accomplished that feat. "It is a good win over a good football team," said ASU head coach Jerry Moore. "They are the most improved team in the league. I was pleased with the way we our defense played, especially in the second half." Appalachian jumped out to an early 3-0 lead as it took its open­ ing possession and drove 63 yards on 13 plays for the 22-yard field goal by Jay S. Sutton, from Wingate, N.C. The Mountaineer offense spread the ball around well on the drive as six players got their hands on the ball. Following the Smith touchdown catch, Appalachian's defense shined again as Shawn H. Elliot from Camden, S.C., nailed UTC quar­ terback Brian Hampton and knocked the ball away and Jackie L. Avery from Garner, N.C. came up with the recovery for the Apps. Six plays later, Damon L. Scott took it in from the six yard line and put the Mountaineers ahead 17-0. "I think we saw today why they (Appalachian State) are the num­ ber two ranked team in the country," said UTC head coach Buddy Green. "Our players learned a great lesson today of what it takes to be one of the top teams in the country. They do a great job of mixing up their offense and on defense, they just line up and come all out." The Mocs however, did not quit. On ASU's next possession, the UTC defense came up with a turnover of its own. The Mocs took over at midfield and and seven plays later, came up with a nine yard touch­ down grab by Derek Hall. The PAT failed and ASU's lead was cut to 17-6. The Mocs drove again on their next possession, but Marvin Hodge, from Raleigh,came up with an interception for the Mountaineers near midfield. But as time ran out in the quarter, Sutton just missed a 37yard field goal. After the intermission, the Mocs defense came up with another turnover on ASU's first possession, but could not convert. The Mountaineers then drove 92 yards in 11 plays as Scott and Aldwin Lance, from Shallotte, N.C., shared the running duties and combined for 63 of the yards, including the five yard Scott run for the score. Appalachian padded its lead to 24-6. However, UTC was not ready to give up and on its next posses­ sion, it drove 64 yards in just six plays as Moc tailback Tyrone Coleman scored from 13 yards out. The two-point conversion failed and the Apps led 24-12. But on Homecoming Saturday the Mountaineers put an end to any come­ back hopes the Mocs had as on their next possession, ASU drove 49 yards on seven plays. Led by Satterfield, the Apps moved the ball quickly and increased their lead once again, this time on a one yard Satterfield run. ASU then led 31- Scott Saterfield (7) shakes off a defender on the way to his one rustj touchdown in the 31-18 win over UT Chattanooga Saturday (above/,w Defensive Coordinator Ruff in McNeill (front) and linebacker coach I Edwards shout instructions to the Black Saturday defense. The Mountaineers have now won three consecutive Homecoming gam.;" 12 of their last 14. (Photos by Robert Parriott) 12. With the outcome inevitable, the Moc defense recovered another fumble and scored its final points as time ran out. Terrell Owens caught a 30-yard touchdown pass with three seconds re­ maining, but the conversion was no good and ASU held on for the 31-18 victory. Offensively for the Mountaineers, Satterfield had a good passing day with 16-22 for 239 yards and one TD. Scott led the rushing attack with 59 yards on 14 carries and two TD's. Lance also had an outstanding day with 117 yards of total offense, 79 coming from receptions. Smith also had 98 yards on just four grabs. Defensively, the Mountaineers were led again by Dexter W Coakley from Mt. Pleasant, S.C. with 11 stops. Elliot also had a good game with one sack and a forced fumble. On a bad note, senior defensive back Matt B. Stevens from Chapel Hill, N.C., is out for the year af­ ter sustaining a knee injury. The AllAmerican's absence could prove to be damaging for the Mountaineers. "Our defensive linemen are occupy­ ing the offensive lineman and the de­ fensive backs are giving great coverage and it allows the linebackers to go to the ball," added App linebacker Dexter Coakley. Appalachian will look to keep its record perfect as it travels to VMI next Saturday. Game time is set for 1:30. Time to move Trista Talton Reporter Sports Editor Appalachian's gridiron squad suffered a major loss Saturday when senior defensive back Matt B. Stevens suffered a severe knee injury in the third quarter. The Ail-American from Chapel Hill, N.C. is out for the year. Stevens tore both his ante­ rior cruciate ligament and his medial cruciate ligament. "Matt is a locker room guy, he is popular among the players," said ASU Head Coach Jerry Moore. "He is a great leader and he helps out the younger players a lot." Stevens ranks second on ASU's all-time leading interceptions list with 21. Last season he led the Southern Conference and set a new school record with 10. Stevens has been a mainstay in the Appa­ lachian secondary since his freshman year in which he started 10 of12 games. His low tackle numbers this year are a testament to how of­ fenses stay away from his side of the field. He There are two games remaining in soc­ cer season for Appalachian.

Student Government Association met Tuesday night to discuss two issues that affect Appalachian students and the commu­ nity. Sonny Sweet of the Boone Red Cross discussed the important role that volunteers play in the organization. Sweet said during the flooding caused by Hurricane Opal, 68 individuals in Watauga and the surrounding counties, including Appalachian students vol­ unteered to help with disaster relief. Sweet stressed the importance of community support. "Every penny we spend comes from donations from Watauga County residents." He also stressed the point that volunteers are always needed. Sweet said in order to volunteer at the American Red Cross one must complete a disaster training course. The next course will be offered on Nov. 18 and no fee will be charged. Sweet said for more information on the course students can call 264-8226 or 262-0072.

(Photo byAngie Brady) Game room proves successful Gia Seagle Reporter W.H. Plemmons Student Union has a new game room on the first floor, behind the Hawksbill Pub, that will soon provide Appala­ chian students with a variety of entertainment. Presently, the game room is more of a pool hall, with nine brand new pool tables and two sitting tables, benches, a bar with chairs, and pool stands, said senior Doris J. Dunn, a supervisor in the new Student Union. She says that the new game room will soon provide arcade and video games, along with a new pool stick rack. "It stays pretty crowded, though," said Dunn. Mark T. Muckler, sophomore and one of the workers at the game room, said that the students like to come in at lunch hours and play. "There is more business at nights and weekends," said Muckler. But more business will be expected after the other games come in. The cost of playing pool for a student and/ or group is $3 an hour, or $1.50 a half hour. "You can have as many people as you want, and it's cheaper than Savannah Joe's," said Muckler. Alcohol and tobacco products are not allowed in the new game room, said Muckler. That is what is different about this game/pool room, compared to the other popular pool bars in Boone, like Savannah Joe's and Murphy's. Trey Hughes, a student, has been to the new game room five or six times since it has opened. "I wish they would bring in a jukebox and chalk for my hands," said Hughes. Dunn said that a sound system and chalk dispenser are also coming soon. The Student Union game room is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., Saturday through Sunday 1 p.m. to 11 p.m. A student can use his/her student iden­ tification or driver's license to use the pool tables.

The special use permit was granted after final decisions were made regarding the sidewalks, park­ ing spaces, rain water run-off, and noise from trash compactors. The special use permit will allow up to four buildings and a maxi­ mum of approximately 230,000 square feet of building area within the development, said Wayne Herron, planning staff member. The sidewalks and green areas will consist of 195,541 square feet. Tricor has agreed to 4.5 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet, meeting all parldng requirements. Herron also reported that Tricor has agreed to the addition of a crosswalk and sidewalks adjacent to the stores and along the roads. "Our main concern is that the shopping center blend, not dominate the environment," said Herron. Herron also discussed the change in traffic patterns that will re­ sult from the placement of the new shopping center. Cut-through traffic will be discouraged due to a reduction in size of the access next to the Fairvalue store. Sixty percent of that traffic will have to go elsewhere. There will still be three access points Interested in writing news for The Appalachian?

Tricor is willing to leave the op­ tion for the Town of Boone to take the right-of-way from Leola to Highway 321, but the Town is not interested right now. Ranny Phillips, property owner of Greenway Village mobile homes, showed his concern about how the water in the area would be controlled. He is concerned about the flooding and the negative effect the shopping center may have on his prop­ erty. He had a 1955 aerial map with him which he distributed to the board members. He said that in 1955 his property was in the area of highest elevation, but that three of the sides have now increased elevation, putting him in the flood plane area. Herron said that part of the ordinance requirements for the new developments mandated that the wa­ ter distribution be improved. Pipe in­ stallation will channel the water in the stream direction. Joe Looney, the Tricor devel­ oper, addressed the drainage problem by saying that additional lines would be installed, taking the water off to inlets. He said that no underground inlets exist now, but the addition of three to five inlets will allow the wa­ ter to be distributed evenly, which will enhance and control the area with no ponding. "Construction of the shop­ ping center will help the situation of storm water run-off rather than hurt it," said Looney. Herron said that plans re- garding storm water improvements to the existing conditions in and around the shopping center would be submit­ ted at a later date. Phillips said he is also con­ cerned about the dumpsters and the noise and smell they may create. Looney addressed the waste compactor and the appearance of the rear of the store. He explained that there would be a fence that would screen the rear of the store. Waste would be disposed of in a totally con­ tained waste compactor, not an open dumpster. Looney explained that insur­ ance regulations would not allow for the shopping center to have an open incenerator, therefore there should not be any odor or noise problems. Board member Steve Ferguson said that he had been a vic­ tim of a similar occurance with regards to Phillip's situation and asked that Tricor take into consideration the feel­ ings of the residents of the trailor park regarding noise and disturbance. "I'm not exactly sure we should wait until we have a problem to address a problem," Ferguson said. David Paletta, attorney for Boone, agreed with Ferguson, saying that the town noise ordinance is not effective for controlling noise from the compactors and that a better tool could be to use time of operations con­ ditions or requirements. The special use permit was granted under the condition that the trash compactor not be operated be­ tween the hours of 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. Send Letters to the Editor to ASU Box 9025 Boone, NC 28608 Sa e i g t n hn s •Jewelry • Candles • Incense • Officially JjcensedjdSU Glassware • Greek Merchandise • Cards • T-Shirts • Fosters • £ar 'Piercing • 10% Student discount with I.P).

It was founded by brothers, Dauphin Disco and ,ford Barnard Dougherty. The 01 opened its doors Tuesday, Sept. gq to 53students. The school was orarily being housed on the secfloor of an abandoned two-room ture that had been the Boone School. In January 1990, the school noved into two rooms of a buildn a one and a half-acre tract given i B. Dougherty, father of the ,herty brothers. The new Wa[ Academy building was a twostructure with five classrooms, a ry an auditorium, a printing ofand a small room for apparatus. Appalachian State Normal School The training school began as a result of the perseverance of B.B. Doughety. A need was recognized for well-trained teachers in Watauga County and surrounding counties, but the issue of money was there. Dough­ erty, Captain Edward E Lovill and his son William Lovill drafted a bill to es­ tablish a state-supported school in northwestern North Carolina. They succeeded in winning enough support in the Senate for the bill to pass by a majority of one on the last day of the meeting of the General Assembly . The first session of Appala­ chian Training School began Oct. 5, 1903 with a total of 325 students and six teachers: Blanford B. Dougherty, Superintendent, Latin and Pedagogics; Dauphin D. Dougherty, Principal, Mathematics and Science; Maude Har­ ris, English and French; W.M. Francum, History and Geography; Julia Hardin, Primary Department; and Margaret B. Rhea, Music and Art. The General Assembly made the training school into a normal school in 1921 and placed it under the supervision of the State Board of Edu­ cation. The new organization of the school provided for a four-year high school based on graduation from the seventh grade, and a two-year normal school based on graduation from a standard high school. The institution became Ap­ palachian State Normal School by an act of the legislature in 1925. Its cen­ tral purpose was to prepare teachers for the public schools of North Caro­ lina. Appalachian State Teachers College In 1929, the legislature changed the name of the school to Appalachian State Teachers' College. It then became a four-year college.

As enrollment increased other majors were approved: english and history in 1933, French in 1934, home ecomics in 1936, library science in 1940, and public school music busi­ ness education in 1946. By 1948, Ap­ palachian offered its own master's de­ gree that prepared graduates for posi­ tions as city and county superinten­ dents of instruction, elementary and high school principals, and county su­ pervisors, high school and elementary teachers, and school librarians.

Jason White ird. Well not this time. I'm not ASU Box 14103 ;ing that you have to believe in phe Editor: To the Editor: In reading your article on prochoice in the recent edition of The Appalachian, I feel I must make my opinion known. Abortion, for the most part, is just an easy way out for people who are unwilling to face up to the responsibility of their sexual activity. When two people engage in sex, they are saying "I know what this could pro­ duce, and I accept full responsibility for it." Abortion provides a way for them to enjoy the pleasures of mar­ ried life without the responsibility. When you talk about "a woman's free­ dom of control over her body," God has already given her that, and she ex­ ercised it in having sex. Now that she is pregnant, she wants to escape the consequences. It's just like someone being proven guilty of murder and being set free without a sentence. Also, how can you compare abor­ tion to the capital punishment or us­ ing a flea collar on a dog? For one thing, the felon who is convicted of a capital offense and receives the death penalty deserves it. Also, you are ques­ tioning the sanctity of human life and degrading it by comparing us humans (yourself included) to an insect. Hu­ mans were put on this earth with to­ tal dominion over the rest of the ani­ mals. Whether you like it or not, we have the God-given right to extermi­ nate the lives of beasts of the field. But, as for human life, we have no right to say: "I don't want to bring this child into the world because it isn't Mixed feelings on Nolte convenient for me." When the laws governing our land talk about free­ dom, they are not talking about the freedom of a would-be mother to ter­ minate her pregnancy because she doesn't want it. That freedom refers to the right of every human being to have the same opportunities to make a success out of themselves. The aborted child is robbed of this right. As for the mother whose pregnancy might ruin her career etc., such is the consequence of her action. There is always adoption. But, please let's not deprive an unborn child the chance to live simply because the mother is irre­ sponsible. How can you consider abortion a safe procedure? Safe for who? The unborn baby is killed, the mother has to live with the fact that she is a "Mommy" but will never celebrate that child's birthday or hold him/her when they cry, and the doctot also has to live with the fact that he killed a perfecdy innocent human being. In closing, I would like to chal­ lenge your ideas about freedom. Does freedom really mean the right to be able to terminate a human life, a life that God himself formed in the mother's womb? Freedom is the abil­ ity to live, and to live abundantly. Abortion snuffs out this freedom. Also, let's start taking some responsibility for our actions. Aren't you glad your mother wasn't pro-choice? Kevin B. Hicks ASU Box 13960 To the Editor: I would like to respond to colum­ nist John Nolte. Your last two columns (anti-choice and anti-Pell Grant) call for a definite rebuttal. Your anti-choice rhetoric is ridicu­ lous. You say, "No one is asking women to do anything more than give birth." Listen to yourself. If birth is such a trivial thing to you, then what is wrong with abortion? And what does the father do? Have more un­ protected sex? It's the ultimate twoway street. Abortion is a gray area. Sex is real. It permeates almost every facet of our lives. Just ask your grandchil­ dren whom you felt so eager to distin­ guish as being the "color" of black. If you had to raise them you say you would be "proud." Why be anything but a grandfather? Abortion is not solely a black problem. Most abortions are performed on white women. When all of the anti-choicers agree to adopt eight children each, nurture, support and love them regardless of age, race, color, circumstance - you might then have a case. Perhaps we could make that a condition of any anti-choice legislation. We'll see who's against choice then. Your assessment of the Chinese system is unfair. They were damned To the Editor: Thank You!

Abortion has been accepted by many civilizations for thousands of years as means of population policy and choice. It was fully legal in this country until the mid1800s until we saw the need for la­ borers in our new factories and West­ ern fields. The Catholic Pope Pious DC miraculously declared that the fetus had a soul and that sex was bad. And what of these unwanted chil­ dren (white, black, Asian,. . AMERI­ CAN) when they grow up? You are against the Pell Grant and want it eliminated though education is our key to progress. Without education the poverty base will only increase and our tax dollars will only need to support it further. There is a now a legislative war on BORN children, the sick, and the old in this country. The American tax system can easily support the Pell Grant, Medicaid, school lunches, etc.. If you want to fix wrongful and exu­ berant spending, why don't you look at the misappropriation of our tax dol­ lars? Look at your school, your county, and your state for starters. There's a bunch of misappropriation out there. ..-"1.? (File photo) Acts of faith? To the Editor: It is time for me to write to you. The last straw has been drawn, and I see a pig flying high above me in the cloudless sky. What has caused this let­ ter to be written? Just let me fill you in on it. Today, I have finally realized that if I don't speak now, I had better plan on never unleashing my opinion. Re­ ligion. Faith. These are both things that I firmly believe all people need to survive the long and winding road of life. These are also both subjective ide­ als, and perhaps don't belong on Sanford Mall. My education at Appa­ lachian State University is in its third year, and it has taken me this long to take a stand and voice my opinion. In this wide, wonderful world of ours there exist a vast number of religions stretching from Atheism (indeed it is a religion) to Taoism. Somewhere in between there lies a monotheistic re­ ligion called "Christianity." Although most people are able to accept that there are a variety of religions, some find it more vital to portray their reli­ gion in a way that seems to shove it down the throats of non-believers. Today, on Sanford Mall, I witnessed an appalling scene: a certain member of a certain denomination of a Protes­ tant sect of Christianity carried a large sign quoting biblical passages to passersby. As one of those passersby, I felt that it was unnecessary to throw these passages in my face in an attempt to tell me that unless I was of the same faith as this person, I would not be "saved." Even as a Roman Catholic I am able to discern that what is most important in this life on Earth (as com­ pared to whatever one believes hap­ pens after physical death) is that one needs to be a "good" person in the ide­ als of what they believe. This is some­ what primitive in thought, but I only know what I believe. I don't claim to know what is right and wrong, how­ ever I do have values and morals that I stand up for. I don't want someone else telling me what I should and should not believe in. This university is not only nondenominational, but also publicly funded, and I believe it is not a place for any religious group to try to brain­ wash the scholars of Academia. Be­ sides, bribing others to worship by of­ fering free food is a sad, sad way of perpetuating one's faith. Although I feel very strongly about the public dis­ play of religion, or rather denounce­ ment of other religions, I hold these fanatics in high regard for the strength of their convictions, just as I support their First Amendment rights. If they would like me to support their rights, I would appreciate their acknowledg­ ment of my rights—to my own reli­ gious beliefs. If anyone tries to discount my let­ ter by rehashing the social deviance project conducted recently on the mall—save it. That project was car­ ried out as an academic project and neither fits in with this discussion, nor does it stand as someone trying to in­ sult another's religion. As government has become an institution separated by church and state, so should public institutions, such as Appalachian State University. Although 1 am sure that this letter will not be printed because of its content and length, I know that someone at the Appalachian has wit­ nessed its existence. I welcome any back responses because religious dis­ cussion—if academic—is fascinating. Theresa A. Galgoci Box 8367 A few weeks ago a few members of my organization, Sigma Nu Frater­ nity, painted the tunnel that runs be­ neath Rivers Street. Unfortunately, the card scanner for the faculty parking lot got painted along with the tunnel. The next morning a professor got paint on his card while entering the park­ ing lot. The paint then transferred from the card onto his pants. Need­ less to say he wasn't pleased. The students responsible, as well as most people, now view it as an ig­ norant mistake or a not-so-funny prank. However, at the time they didn't grasp the severity of their ac­ tions. Most importantly, it was an act of vandalism that defaced school prop­ erty. It showed very little respect for the school and school property. It was a deliberate violation of state laws and the people could be prosecuted for the act. Further, the actions of a few made our entire organization look bad. No one outside of our organization knows who painted the scanner. As far as everyone outside the organization is concerned, it was all of Sigma Nu's brothers who did it. To many, how­ ever, it goes beyond Sigma Nu. On account of our act, all fraternities and sororities look bad to the faculty, ad­ ministration, and all those outside of the Greek system. It isn't bad enough that we broke the law and made ourselves, as well as all Greeks, look bad, but we also interrupted the day of an innocent professor. We caused damage to his clothing and delayed him in getting to work. What began as a simple prank has become an incident that has caused a lot of damage, to both property and reputations. I apologize on behalf of our organization to both the school and the professor. I hope other orga­ nizations take heed, and individuals realize that they represent far more than themselves. D.J. Wanchick President Sigma Nu Fraternity ASU Box 11696 see Letters page 8 lit; �The Appalachian of Letters • •—• " Greeks discriminated against To the Editor: How can The Appalachian call it­ self the student newspaper when Greek news is not considered news? Are Greeks not a portion of the Appa­ lachian student body? Does Appala­ chian not receive notoriety if one of the campus chapters receives national honors? With the Greeks making up only about 14% of the student body, The Appalachian can afford its bias report­ ing. This portion of the student body does offer alternatives to life at Appa­ lachian, contributes to community re­ lations, and is considered in student recruitment, therefore, must be con­ continued from page 7 sidered as newsworthy. As far as no­ toriety, you better believe that Appa­ lachian is noticed when one of its Greek organizations receives national honors. Greeks are just "Self-Promoters." "If you have any hot news tips, please contact Tiffany," the "News Briefs" section of The Appalachian reads each Tuesday and Thursday. "We'd love to hear your ideas," the column subtitle exclaims. Believe me when I tell you that Tiffany means to say, "any non-Greek news!" My fraternity recently received national honors and I thought that Appalachian would like to know. So I typed up an article and sent it to Tif­ fany. After two papers had been pub­ lished and my article had not been published, I sought answers. I called Tiffany and she quickly told me that the Appalachian does not publish "Greek self-promotion." She contin­ ued to tell me that i£l wanted to get my NEWS story published that 1 would have to buy an ad. An ad? Tiffany, news is news, even if you don't support the subject. The Appa­ lachian will publish a local group of activists that held a rally and dumped out jugs of milk. The paper will pub­ lish stories about service organizations that did something great. As an even bigger insult, The Appalachian will support certain political parties and back certain SGA bills, but news about the Greeks, NO Way! I am willing to bet that in every dorm, apartment, and fraternity house, someone would have enjoyed the news about a local organization Save the New York loft To the Editor: I am writing in regards to the planned Open Forum for the univer­ sity community concerning the status of the Appalachian New York City Loft. This will be held Oct. 26 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. in I.G. Greer Auditorium and is open to all Appalachian students, faculty, alumni and staff. Because of recent budgetary and strategic planning considerations, it is feared this meeting may be viewed by some as a referendum on whether the university should maintain a presence in New York. I believe the New York presence is critical to the university mission of providing the best in a liberal arts edu­ cation. Because Appalachian is situ­ receiving a national award. Yes, even non-Greeks would take pride in the fact that Appalachian State has again received national honors. I am proud of Appalachian, and when I wrote my short article about the honor bestowed upon my frater­ nity, I thought The Appalachian would rush to spread the news. I will even admit that I enjoy The Appalachian. The sports section is well done, some of the comics are funny, and local news and events about my school are im­ portant to me. This letter to the editor is an ur­ gent request. Please, please, do away with the biased attitudes of your staff. Print news that the students might be interested in. Your audience is the fac­ ulty and students of this campus. We, as a student body, want to know the goings on at this school. In my opinion, students want to know when a faculty member messes up.

Ritch Workman ASU Box 18712 Check the facts ated in a rural setting, the New York Loft and Washington D.C. App House are our gateways to contemporary culture and, as such, are excellent re­ cruitment tools for students and fac­ ulty alike. I have seen students on field trips who have never been more than two states from home whose lives were literally changed by the experience. After witnessing the best in their field, average students become much more motivated and mature in the class­ room and above average students soon excel at their craft. With this presence, Appalachian provides the high culture of New York City as a virtual sister campus. The existence ot the Loft repre­ sents a true vision for the university community. When you talk to parents and prospective students (or faculty candidates) about the pros and cons of coming to Appalachian vs. other schools, the Loft and App House are major selling points. These facilities are the only true things that separate us from everyone else and embody opportunities that have defined us as an educational institution for 20 years. Please do everything in your power to prioritize this meeting in your department and assure a good turnout by your colleagues and stu­ dents.

Do bad grades in a class mean a student is without ent? Certainly not, for we all know the legend of istein's poor academic record. Is the distinction made between people who try hard and people who are unusu­ ally insightful? What role does a student's talent play at a university? Is it possible to graduate with an English degree and be not so good a writer? How much of our time here at the university is spent trying to develop a talent, and how much is spent learning to follow rules, regurgitating lectures, and meeting deadlines? It's not that 1 think the discipline side of Academia is of less importance; I am only trying to show that the complete omission of talent from the grading sys­ tem could prove to make higher education obscure. All things considered, the grading system is fairly lim­ ited. Like I said earlier, it is one of the more abstract sys­ tems of judging quality. Think of a sprinter, who can fairly accurately judge with a time whether he/she is actually doing well, as opposed to tryIBmiUBi inghard? Departments like En­ glish, History, and Philosophy where the answer may not de­ pend solely on empirical infor­ mation make the grading sys­ tem even more abstruse. I would be curious to witness academia before the use of the letter grading system. How to solve this? I'm not sure, given the numerous dif­ ferent factors that enter into the university system. A student who got a "D" because the professor thought he lacked any lyric ability is not any better then the current system, for another professor may think his work genius. Perhaps professor's could write something next to the letter grade: "A-, but mostly boring dribble" or "B+, yet poetic genius." Or maybe not. I will part on a question that I have often wondered about: Does a good grade on a paper make one a good writer, or just a good student? Sure, receiving good marks means a student is good at something, but does it necessarily mean that student has talent in that particular field?

No rules, total free­ dom and lots of parties - maybe not. Breaking the rules is not always easy when you have a Resident Assistant (RA) looking over your shoulder. For many students, "out-of-sight, outof mind" is the key to getting around the rules, but RAs have the unenviable job of maintain­ ing order and making sure students are never far from their sight. For many RAs, enforcing the school's poli­ cies is the main aspect of their job. Steven L. Braun, a first year RA says, "I regulate occur­ rence and I have some sort of influence over what the students choose to do or don't do." Although Braun sees himself as a positive influence, some students feel that RAs are worse than their parents. Freshman Patrick L. Raynor, of Kinston, says, "I would like for them to realize that we are in college and not living under mom and dad anymore." Brian J. Hendrix says, "They need to mind their own business." Yet, many students tend to overlook the fact that an RA's job is more than keeping stu­ dents in line. Sophomore A. R. Wilsher feels strongly about his role as an RA. " I like mak­ habitation, hanging of posters on specific ar­ ing my floor a nice place to live by not being eas of the room, and even roommate disagree­ too strict or too lenient," says Wilsher.

Hendrix says, "the level of annoyance of an RA really changes my opinion of them. They can only go so far to get in the way of what is going on the other side of the door." Freshman Dave Kaminsky of Charlotte says, "A bad RA is one who is always snooping around. A good RA is one who does not care what you do as long as you don't get too loud, yet when you have a problem they can be there for you as a guide." �Page 12 The Appalachian 26 ( HELPing get relief to Bosnia's childrei CD Review Richard Smith ately needed services for refugees.

We get to see how Hester Prynne (an overly beautiful and not much else Demi Moore) falls in love and has the bastard child of Rev­ erend Arthur Dimmesdale (a brilliant Gary Oldman). The final wretched hour also has nothing to do with the book, except for Arthur and Hester falling back in love. Mr. Prynne (a bored Robert Duvall) does return as Dr. Roger Chillingsworth, to wreak havoc on Dimmesdale's life. In the book, he played a brilliant game of psychologi­ cal torture. Here, he's a rambling lu­ natic who runs around in Indian garb and scalps people. The controversial sin and mortal­ ity factor in the book is not here. Hester and Arthur are under the im­ pression that Mr. Prynne was killed by wild Indians when they commit the socalled adultery. Hester's personal an­ guish is out, but she does get to start a feminist war on the evil religious el­ ders (all men) in her community. Once again, political correctness is the main character in a movie. ' If that's not enough, the follow­ ing things are thrown in to the mix: a witch trial, a mute slave girl, an In­ dian war, rape, murder, explosions, explicit sex, nudity, idiotic narration by Hester's grown daughter Pearl, Sa­ tan, suicide, real life Indian captive and author Mary Rowlandson, plus a happy ending. Hollywood is still under the im­ pression that if it isn't loud and dirty, it isn't good. Hollywood also assumes it can "modernize" classic literature for today's hip audience - a sad miscon­ ception. "The Scarlet Letter" has been philosophized for over a century; now it's nothing but the latest mindless popcorn entertainment to stumble into a movie theater. Today's audience packs as much brain power as folks did 100 years ago. We deserve to be treated so. G^ade: D- [he Appalachian wants to hear from you. Send letters to the editor to ASU box 9025.

The field included no other Southern Conference participants, and displayed an impressive field com­ posed of some big name universities. The Mountaineers three round total was 1035, just 135 strokes away from first place Furman University. Al­ though this may sound rather dismal, the field of 23 proposed some stiff competition. Schools like the Univer­ sity of North Carolina, Wake Forest U., Auburn U., U.of Florida, U. of Miami, Oklahoma U., Florida State U., and Texas A&M U. were just a few of the big names in the tournament. With very large schools such as these, and outstanding golf programs built up at most of them, the Mountaineers may have been overmatched from the be­ ginning. But this did not cause any despair for our Lady Mountianeer golf team. As far as individual performances go, the best one round total by any of the Lady Apps was a rather solid score of 79, shot by Merryll D. McElwain (Kernersville) in the second round and by Erin B. McArthur (UGA) in the first round of play. Merryll D. McElwain . was also the top finisher for the Moun­ taineers, finishing 101st out of 118 spots, and shooting a three round to­ tal of 248. Other individual finishes were as follows: Shannon M. McCart finished 108th with a three round to­ tal of 259, Erin B. McArthur 109th with 260, Meridyth A. Stanley (Ormond Beach) 116th with 271, and finally Karen Meunch 118th with 280. One surprising thing to note is that the Mountaineers best player, Meridyth A. Stanley, finished a dismal 116th. Her support is greatly needed on this Mountaineer golf team, and they need her to score well, especially in the spring, when the tournaments count for the Southern Conference Title. The Lady Mountaineer golf team gets back in action October 28-29 at the College of Charleston Invitational, where they hope to improve their stroke average and their finishing po­ sition. Mens soccer gets conference win David Willis Sports Editor Appalachian State's men's soc­ cer team traveled to Lexington, Va., last Friday to take on VMI and came away with the hard fought 1-0 vic­ tory. Mountaineer Brett C. Harrell took a pass from Sean C. Garnett and beat Keydet goalie John Weeks for the go ahead and eventual win­ ning score. The goal, with 77:12 re­ maining, gave the Mountaineers their ninth win of the year and their fourth in the Southern Conference. The team's record is now 9-7 over­ all and 4-2 in the Southern Confer­ ence. The Apps have their final two regular season games this week, as they travel to Chapel Hill on Wednesday to take on the nation­ ally ranked Tarheels and on Sunday to Greensboro to take on UNCGreensboro.

They would take great joy in knocking off the undefeated No. 2 in the country, giving a boost to their so far disappointing season. "I am very impressed with their personnel, how they look, how they run, and how they handle themselves," added Moore. "We don't expect any­ thing less than a hard-fought, physi­ cal game this week."

The Furman Paladins were lble to beat the Lady Apps last Friday lt Furman by the score of 3-1. Appalachian, which had beaten :urman earlier in the season, came Into the match at Furman, undefeated I uid in first place in the Southern ConI erence. The Lady Apps lost the First game I [5-6, but then bounced back to take I he next one 15-9. After that the Pala1 Jjns proved a little too strong for the Mountaineers, taking the next two d ;ames 15-8 and 15-11. [ate The team was led by Sheri L. Leverette of Lakeland, Fla., in kills with 16, and Hendersonville, N.C., native April L. Sorrells in digs with 10. As a whole, the team registered 58 kills, 42 digs, and three blocks. On Sunday, the team traveled to Georgia Southern to face another Southern Conference foe. This time the Lady Apps made a statement about their resiliency, winning in straight games 15-1,15-1 and 15-2. The team was again led by Leverette in kills, with 14, and Sorrells and Amy V. Kolomechuk from Waynesville, N.C., in digs with seven each. The team will continue their roadswing this week as they travel to East Tennessee on Thursday. The Lady Apps will then have the weekend off before playing at UNC-Greensboro next Monday. App field hockey has bad break yun Kwon eporter Over the fall break, while many \SU students were relaxing, the ASU Field Hockey team played Davis and Elkins on Saturday, Oct 21, however, the Mountaineers lost by the score of D-2, to bring them to a 2-11 record. "Even though we had a great warm-up, we couldn't get things mov­ ing on the field," explained ASU head oach Cathy Burleson. "Davis and llkins has tall players and the ladies layed like they were afraid of them." Davis and Elkins scored both of heir goals in the first half against Apalachian, and although the squad itarted off slow, they tried to adjust in he second half. "We played a better eond half and got the best perforlance by freshman Chanty Layton," mmented Coach Burleson. Chanty ilizabeth Layton, from Yardley, Penn-ylvania, played right wing for the Jason Somerville Reporter The Appalachian State Men's golf team bounced back from their rough start a couple of weeks ago at the Campbell Invitational, to make a strong showing in this past weekend's Radford Invitational. The Mountaineers finished fourth out of the 13 team field, and were the top Southern Conference finishers. The Mountaineer's two round total of 606 was very impres­ sive, and even more impressive was their very strong second round total of 297. ASU finished just 12 strokes away from second place VirginiaBlue U., and only 32 strokes off of tournament winner USC-Aiken. The Mountaineers had three of their members finish in the top 20 in the individual standings, and the en­ tire team finished in the top 38. The most outstanding individual perfor­ mance for ASU came from Drew B. Taylor (Boone), who finished tied for sixth, and was only eight strokes off the lead. Taylor burnt Draper Valley Golf Club for a second round 69, beaten only by Brooks Blackburn's (USC-Aiken) 67, also shot in the sec­ ond round. Taylor's great performance was backed by strong finishes from two other key members of the men's golf team, David H. Goodman (Salisbury) and Jason Smith. Goodman, last spring's stroke average leader fin­ ished 16th, shooting a 75 and a 76 respectively for a two round total of 151. Smith's performance was a mir­ ror of Goodman's in that he also fin­ ished tied for 16th, shooting a 75 and a 76 respectively for a two round to­ tal of 151, as well. The other indi­ vidual finishes for the Mountaineers were Drew DeBrito, who finished 31st by shooting a two round 156, and Brooks R. Turner who finished 38th with a two round total of 157. This performance by the Moun­ taineers, not only showed character by them picking themselves up by the bootstraps because of their last finish, but it also gives them some­ thing to build on. More will be ex­ pected from this team from now on, and whether or not they are up to the challenge is yet to be seen. The ASU Men's golf team swings back into action on November 5 at the Davidson Invitational. The long break should provide valuable prac­ tice time, and the Mountaineers will definitely come out swinging. pasttime loses glimmer Mike Daniels Reporter Sports Commentary So it seems that there is a cham­ pionship going on in one of our major sports. That's right. In case you didn't know, the World Series, America's most time honored championship, is going on right now. Yes, right now. It's funny that you need to inform people of this. There was a time when America really cared about the World Series, the same way it does about the Super Bowl and the NBA Finals. Back then people across the country sat down and watched these baseball games regardless of whether it was their team or not. Kids watched them and dreamed of playing there one day, while fathers and grandfathers re­ membered back when their team won it all. But oh how things have changed. The great baseball strike of 1994 has truly left its ugly mark on this sport. By stealing last year's World Series Mountaineers. Not only did Layton have some good moves, goalkeeper Ingrid Ola Stamberg, a senior from Barnesville, Maryland, played an agressive game with 10 saves total. "1 feel I had an agressive game because I had a lot of one-on-ones," stated Stamberg. During the second "Even though we had half, senior forward Barry a great warm-up, we Elizabeth Clyatt, from Greeneville, Delaware, got couldn't get things injured by a wildly driven moving on the field." ball. -ASU head coach The team will be pre­ paring themselves for their Cathy Burleson. upcoming game against Georgetown this Sunday, Oct 29. "We have the ability to win this Sunday. We just have to make sure that our basics don't let us down," commented Coach Burleson. "Also there will be a lot of parents that will be there to support the team, since a lot of our girls are from Maryland."

And it is a shame because this year's World Series is really a great one. Every game so far has been a one-run game, laced with dramatic home runs and spectacular pitching performances. If you watched Tues­ day night's eleven-inning classic you already know what I'm talking about. It's just that it dosen't matter how good the team's play or how close the series is, people will still refuse to care. Which is not to say that Braves and Indians fans don't care, because they are very much into this series, espe­ cially in Cleveland, where fans have been starving for a winner for decades. But the average baseball fan from say Los Angeles or Philadelphia just dosen't seem to care about this series. The most telling evidence of this was the emptystadium that the Braves and Reds played before in Cincinatti in the National League Championship. Not too long ago these League Champion­ ship Series' were sold out, with scalp­ ers outside the gate charging ridicu­ lous prices. Now the teams themselves can't get rid of these tickets. It's a shame to see this. It troubles the few people still dedicated to base­ ball, mostly those who run the busi­ ness and the game, to look out over empty stadiums and apathetic fans and see just how much damage has been done to this sport. Because the truth is that baseball has stepped down as America's Pastime and its great Fall Classic barely even interests this coun­ try, let alone the entire world.

Mountaineer Ail-American linebacker Dexter W. Coakley (Mt. Pleasant, S.C.) knocked the ball away from Herd tailback Chris Parker, with 6:33 left in the game. App lineman Ja­ son A. Hatcher (Clearwater, Fla.) recovered the fumble. Quarterback Scott F. Satterfield (Hillsborough, N.C.) scored the only touch­ down of the game six plays later to give the Apps a 10-3 win. "Scott Satterfield is one of the gutsiest players I have ever been associated with and our defense played superb," commented ASU head football coach Jerry Moore. "We really were in a classic football game with two aw­ fully fine football teams out there tonight." The first half was a batde of great defenses and missed opportunities, as the two teams battled to a scoreless tie at the intermission. On Marshall's third possession of the game, they drove into Mountaineer territory and into field goal range, but the 45-yard Tim Openlander attempt was blocked by App de­ fensive back Jamie M. Coleman. The junior from Laurinburg, N.C., also recovered the ball and returned it to the Marshall 42, giving ASU its best field position of the game. The Mountaineers, led by Satterfield, moved the ball to the 26-yard line, but the Jay S. Sutton (Wingate, N.C.) 41-yard field goal barely missed wide right. On the next play, Marshall's Chris Parker busted up the middle for 34 yards and into Appalachian territory. Three plays later, Openlander's 48-yard field goal attempt came up quite short and the game remained score­ less. However, Marshall would get the ball back three plays later, as Satterfield was picked off by Herd defender Melvin Cunningham at the Mountaineer 45. On third and 11, freshman QB Chad Pennington completed a 36-yard pass to Tim Martin at the ASU 10, but Appalachian's defense stepped up and held on third and goal. Openlander came on for his third attempt of the night, but missed a short 25-yard chip shot. Both teams had control of the ball two more times before the end of the half, but neither team could mount a drive. This was the first time this season that the Mountaineers have not scored in the first half and the first time since the playoff game against New Hampshire last season. Appalachian was only able to compile 79 yards of total offense in the half, 46 on the ground and 33 in the air. Satterfield led the Mountaineers with 25 yards rushing and was 4-5 with one interception in the half. ASU lead­ ing rusher Damon L. Scott (Cedar Grove, N.C.) was held to 20 yards on 9 rushes. Positively for the Mountaineers, Marshall had not scored, even though posting183 yards of total offense. Southern Conference all-time leading rusher Chris Parker had gained 75 yards on just 10 carries, but the second half would be different. Appalachian opened the second half with posession at their own 20. Satterfield led the Mountaineers down the field with his passing, completing five of six throws for 75 yards and setting up a 22-yard Sutton field goal to break the tie and put App on the board with a 3-0 lead. The Mountaineers held on to that lead through the third quarter as their defense held Marshall to just one first down and only 33 yards in the quarter. The tide would change again, however, and Marshall would tie the game on their first possession of the fourth quarter. The Herd would drive to the Mountaineer 23-yard line and Openlander made sure he did not miss again as he nailed the 41-yard field goal. With 9:34 remaining in the game, the Herd defense held ASU to three and out and looked poised to score again when Coakley collided with Parker and gave Appalachian its final scoring opportunity. Leading 10-3 with just 4:10 remaining, App defensive end Steve J. Carson (Durham, N.C.) sacked Pennington on third and 8 and Pennigton's fourth down prayer fell short. Appalachian took over on downs and would not again relinquish possession as they held on for their second victory at Marhall's new stadium. Appalachian remains the only team to beat Marshall in that stadium in the regular season. "What a great college football game...I can't say enough about how special these (ASU) players are, how they play so hard and battle and accomplish things," added coach Moore. "We did not move the ball well, and we were still able to take advantage of an op­ portunity here and there." The Mountaineers finished the game with 239 yards of total offense, 133 on the ground. Satterfield led the rushing attack with 57 yards on 21 carries and one touchdown and passing W % Mountaineers attempt to change history David Willis Sports Editor Homecoming weekend should be big for the Mountaineers, as they prepare to take on UT-Chattanooga Saturday at Kidd Brewer Sta­ dium. "We know how tough this game will be, because last year UTC was leading at the half and we really had to make some major adjust­ ments and big plays to come back and win at their place," commented ASU head football coach Jerrry Moore. The Mountaineers who have not lost to the Mocs with head coach Jerry Moore at the helm, could be chartering new territory with a win. Appalachian, currently 7-0 and off to its best start since 1954, has never won its first eight in a row. Appalachian heads into the game with a full head of steam, coming off of its tremen­ dous win at Marshall. The offense did not play extremely well, but as always, they played well enough to win. The defensive unit played su­ perbly and had its best team outing of the year. They held the No. 3 team in the country to just three points, on the road. A remarkable feat in itself. Dexter Coakley was named South­ ern Conference Defensive Player-of-the-Week for the second straight week, recording 21stops and one huge forced fumble. "Not only does he have great athletic abil­ ity, but he also enables others on our defense to make great plays," commented Moore. Chattanooga comes into the match-up 34 on the season and fresh off of 35-14 win over Western Carolina. The Mocs ran for 196 yards on 44 carries, led by senior fullback Marrio Grier who rushed for 104 yards on 18 carries and freshman tailback Tyrone Coleman who gained 79 yards on 15 carries. Grier was named Southern Conference Offensive Player-of-the-Week and Coleman received Southern Conference Freshman-of-the-Week honors. "Marrio is one of the best all-around backs in the Southern Conference. Not only is he a tough runner, but he also is a great blocker," commented UTC head coach Buddy Green. "Tyronne has fought off some nagging inju­ ries to become a very solid tailback. He has shown signs the last two weeks of becomming the runner we all thought that he could be." The Mocs should put up a good fight for the Mountaineers, they almost beat Marshall at home this year, barely losing 38-35. Also, they held Western to just 68 yards rushing last see History page 18 with 106 yards on 11-16 completions and just one interception. Aldwin Lance (Shallotte, N.C.) led the App receivers with 63 yards on 5 grabs. Defensively for the Mountaineers it was Coakley once again leading the way with 21 stops, his fourth 20 plus game. "Dexter made big plays time and time again against Marshall. He was all over the field," added Moore. The whole defensive unit had a superb game. They really put forth a team effort and should be commended on their performance. The Apps will host the Moccassins of UTChattanooga this Saturday at 1:00 EM. The Mountaineers will attempt to remain unbeaten on the season during the Homecoming week­ end.

The program is the second oldest in the North Carolina State system, with Bennett College being the oldest. Professor of Interdiscipli­ nary Studies Dr. Margaret H. McFadden said the Women's Studies Program began in the 1975-76 aca­ demic year, when a group of women faculty formed an ad hoc committee. This group of women joined together to persuade people to form the pro­ gram. Interdisplinary studies implemented a minor degree in women's studies in 1979. The pro­ gram did not receive a major until 1991. According to Dr. Melissa E. Barth, director of women's concerns, support for the program has grown a lot in 20 years. Each semester 10 to 12 courses dealing with women's studies are taught around campus, which means 200 to 300 students take a course in women's studies. The program has helped to provide resourses about women for indivduals conducting research projects, said Barth. The Women's Resource Center is a 20-year archive, developed by McFadden. The Cen­ ter contains hard-to-find material pertaining to the interests of women. The Center provides materials that the library can not afford. A graduate student, Cindy see Concerns Page 2 Library prepares for later hours Renee Cagle Staff Writer ion Pennell stant News Editor The way in which mass me­ dia treats women and race issues was the focus of a lecture given by bell hooks on Tuesday night in Farthing Auditorium. hooks (Gloria Watkins) is an associate professor at Yale University and is the author of several highly re­ garded books, such as "Ain't I a Woman: Black Women and Feminism" and "Sisters of the Yam: Black Women and Feminism." hooks said that mass media informs, teaches and molds the ideas of people and they are changed by the images they see in the media. "Mass media maintains the politics of this society," hooks said. She also said image makers in mass media carefully construct images of race and sex. hooks used contemporary movies to show how blacks and women are stereotyped. "" Disclosure' made a mockery of sexual harass­ ment," she said. In her opinion, mov­ ies take important issues which deal with race and women and make them laughable. She also said that mass me­ dia think in terms of white supremacy, and in movies blacks are servants or have insubordinate roles. This prac­ tice reinforces the idea that blacks ex­ ist to take care of white people, she said. The examples she gave were "Lethal Weapon", "The Pelican Brief' and "Passion Fish." hooks also addressed televi­ sion shows that take racism out of real from Radford, Va., entitled "Frame­ work", between Farthing Auditorium and Wey Hall. Suhre said that the sign will be replaced by the gallery. Suhre said he is unsure of the reason for the increase in vandalism incidents. He also said that the instal­ lation of better lighting surrounding the pieces had been discussed, but due to cost, was not pursued. The sculptures are exhibited for one year and are patrolled by the University Police. Each piece is also insured by the university. Other incidents this year in­ clude the theft of a bronzed, human form in late August. Replacement of the bronze figure will cost approxi­ mately $1,000 and will come out of the gallery's budget. The Gallery is offering a $100 award for information about the theft. Another incident earlier this semester resulted in a piece having to be taken off exhibit. According to Suhre, "Seeds of Memory," a piece by Ava Blitz from Bryi: Mawer, Pa., suf­ fered "extensive damage" and is cur­ rently being repaired. "It (vandalism) reflects poorly on us as a university," said Perry Belk Library is working on increasing its operating hours from midnight to 1 a.m. In the spring of 1995, the li­ brary stayed opened late in order to gather data on the number of students who would use the library during that time. According to R. Todd Finch, Student Governemnt Association sena­ tor, he brought the idea for later library hours to SGA. The academic affairs committee sponsored the project and began researching other university li­ braries. SGA presented the idea to library administration, who decided to conduct a one semester experiment last spring to find if there was a defi­ nite need to stay open later. The results showed that a similar amount of students who used the library during 11 p.m. to 12 a.m. also used it from 12 a.m. to 1 a.m., said Mary L. Reichel, university librarian. Reichel said that the next step is to staff the library so it can stay open longer. "We are trying to balance those needs with other needs as far as staff," she said. She said that a high level of staff members must be in the building in case of an emergency because the student staff cannot run the library PPalailiian is published with support from Appalachian's Center for Student I alone. "It involves too much respon­ sibility," Reichel said. Of the 16 state universities in the North Carolina System, Appala­ chian ranks third in having the long­ est library hours. Reichel said she is proud of how long the library is open, considering their number of staff com­ pared to other universities. "I think we should be a leader in the field, instead of trying to fit in the middle," said Finch. Open library hours per week in the UNC System University 1. N.C. State University 2.

If the customer wishes to choose more than one res­ taurant to get food from, $1.50 is added on for each additional restau­ rant. Anderson said the fee is rea­ sonable, especially if a group of friends were ordering. "The biggest crunch is when only one person orders, said Anderson. The person only ordering $3 worth of food may end up paying more than he would prefer, he said. Boone Take-Out Express in­ cludes a broad delivery range. "I go out farther than others," he said. " I don't want to keep them starving!" The service stays busy throughout the week and he says they get a good luncheon crowd from the professionals in town. Anderson said they are busi­ est in bad weather, during big football games on television and during times like when the O.J. Simpson verdict was announced, when nobody wanted to leave their television screen. Anderson said he thinks they will get even more business when it gets colder and nobody wants to go outside or trudge across campus to get a meal. Boone Take-Out Express gives them more of a variety to choose from other than pizza. "It's something dif­ ferent when campus food gets old," he said. Anderson has 10 drivers and three office helpers. "We're all Appa­ lachian people," he said. Anderson lived in Athens, Ga. after graduation and owned a res­ taurant there. He knew several people in Athens with a delivery service. He thought of Boone since he went to school here and knew of all the popu­ lar restaurants and knew Boone did Students from Barbara L.

"I felt a need to go back to Boone." Anderson got a Boone phone book and wrote down all the restau­ rants. He tried to choose restaurants of each ethnicity that he knew were favorites. He just called most of them to offer his delivery service. He expects to gradually gain more restaurants throughout the year and he will update the menu book as that happens. He said other places, like the Red Onion, have not chosen to use the service yet because they were waiting to see how well the ser­ vice did. "It allows an increase in their sales," said Anderson. "I'm doing a lot of advertising for them and they don't lose any money." In reference to delivering, he said many small businesses cannot af­ ford to pay the insurance of their driv­ ers. He said places like Klondike Cafe already had delivery, but still chose the service. One main reason Klondike liked the service was they did not have to deal with customers on the phone who did not know what they wanted to eat. With this service, his service deals with the customer and then calls or faxes the order to the restaurant. "It makes life easier," said Anderson. Customers can call 265-1611 or fax 265-1196 and pay by cash, check, Visa or Mastercard. Boone Take-Out Express is open MondaySunday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Participating restaurants are: Klondike Cafe, China Chefs, Murphy's, Cottonwood, Tucker's Cafe, Pizza Ranch, Pepperoni's, Charlie Horse, Our Daily Bread, Blues Barbeque, and the Caribbean Cafe. continued from Page 1 life. "TV teaches white audiences that racism and sexism doesn't exist," hooks said. She said that on televi­ sion, whites and blacks live in har­ mony and racism is not a barrier. hooks said that there have been a few movies that show blacks and women to be equal and intelligent, but they don't do well at the box of­ fice. She said the reason for this is that audiences believe the stereotypes of blacks and women, and this is what it is to them. hooks also dealt with the sys­ tem of patriarchy and mass media. This system allows mass media to nor­ malize violence against women. "Patriarchy is fUp the planet," she said. Women are killed and butchered everyday in mass media and it is considered normal, she said. hooks said that these images of woman and blacks have not been challenged and until they are mass media will not change.

Accuracy and Public Service since 1936 .1 =>i Our oginiorL, No policy is the best policy A recent discussion on a policy which would limit faculty-student amorous relationships has sparked a controversy among students, faculty and staff on the Appalachian campus. Due to scandals at the North Carolina School of the Arts and at UNC-Chapel Hill, the chancellors of the 16 schools in the North Carolina system must re search their policies regarding the issue and report back to the Board of Governors. The recommending bodies from Appalachian who will be giving their input to Chancellor Frances T. Borkowski are SGA, faculty senate and staff council. The Appalachian feels the students of this cam­ pus need to be aware of this issue and express their concerns to SGA, who will be representing them in the decision-making process. So far, Darby Weaver, SGA president, said the group feels that the policy now on the books is sufficient. This policy simply states that faculty "are expected to avoid scrupulously any exploitation of students for their personal ad­ vantage and should apprise themselves of state and federal regulations governing such matters as sexual harassment...." However, SGA does feel the same policy needs to be extended to include staff. Catherine L. Wilkinson of the faculty senate, how­ ever, feels the policy is inadequate. Wilkinson says that faculty senate agrees any relationship between a faculty member and a student in his class or an assistant should be banned, but is unsure of what to do when the case involves a faculty member and any student on campus. The obvious policy is one of non-involvement. The university should not dictate relationships which have nothing to do with the classroom. As long as the relationship is a consensual one, the university should not interfere. We are all adults, here- ex­ cept, of course, in the rare instance of a minor at­ tending college, which is a whole legal matter in it­ self. Obviously, the professors students would be most interested in dating would be those in (their academic field since those would be the people theywould have the most in common with. Therefore, it is natural to assume there would be some times when a student would need to take a class with a professor he or she is dating. The only time a relationship with a professor could ever become a problem is if a student needed to take a class with a professor he or she was already involved with. In this instance, we may see a funda­ mental flaw with our university. If there is only one professor teaching a class and the student has to have that class to finish his major, a problem occurs. Per­ haps it is wrong to have only one professor available to teach a certain class, though. The chancellor must make his recommendation to the Board of Governors on Oct. 31. The Appala­ chian urges students to let the SGA know that poli­ cies regarding our relationships are unnecessary. Stu­ dents involved with faculty or staff members who do not wield any classroom power over them should be left to their own choices. And by this time in their lives, if a student cannot see when someone is using their power over them and get out of the relation ship, perhaps they deserve what they get.

Angela Brady Editor-in-Chief John Lane Managing Editor Ken Larking Editorials Editor Warning: The following column will ig­ nore everything I have ever learned about po­ litical correctness. This article will be replete with sweeping generalizations. Have you noticed, as I have, that today's typical non-conformists have created their own kind of conformity? They strive valiantly to be so different that they all end up looking the same, acting the same, and believing in the same causes. Ironically, in their quest for individuality, they have become what they loathe. Let me paint a picture of the typical '90s hippie. The male hippie often has long hair (on his face or the top of his head), is wearing Birkenstock's or goes bare-foot. He is usually found wearing a tie-dye t-shirt and extremely dirty jeans. A "mean people suck" button is often attached to his expensive hip-pack. He reeks of patchouli. And he gets around in a Volkswagen Bus. 1 he female version also has long hair (on her legs, under-arms and top of her head). She wears combat boots, corduroy pants under­ neath a skirt, a shirt resembling a short apron and no bra. She uses an expensive hip-pack with a "make love, not war" button attached to it. She reeks of patchouli. And she drives a late model Honda Accord. The typical '90s hippie can often be found in Sanford Mall kicking a hacky-sack, tossing a Frisbee, toting a dog, giving another hippie a hair wrap, or hanging around some longbearded fellow who is strumming a guitar. They believe in free-mind, free-love, and free-weed. They also believe in sharing their Dull teachers, dull class 'Stagnant instructors keep learning to a minimum Jason Wilkinson Assistant Editorials Editor Since coming here in the fall of '92, I have had two distinct experiences. Professors I love, and professors that I don't. Sure, this is not an exclusive experience, most everyone has had professors from both the good and dark side of academia. But the fact that everyone has experi­ enced it just makes it that much more of a pertinent issue. Perhaps I should draw some easily identifiable lines, given the fact that the terms "good" and "bad" are subjective. I'll start with "bad". By "bad", I don't mean evil (though I am not ruling this out) but a professor whose class would fall just under a nature special on snail slime on my list of fun stuff. A professor caught in a rut of never-ending lecture. School work is like comedy. Just as it takes new things to make us laugh, so must professors occasionally try differ­ ent things to help us learn. And most do. I imagine even the dullest of pro­ fessors started out with good inten­ tions. I also imagine it is easy to get caught in a rut, and professors who teach the same course year after year are more likely to get pulled in some kind of black hole of teaching, where nothing interesting can ever escape again. I urge professors who are forced to teach the same classes to at least break it up with a new class from time to time. As for departments that won't do this, I say "feh" to you, for it is this rut of same classes that gives a professor so much information on a particular subject that he doesn't need any help taking up class time, the need for student chatter is eliminated. (When I use "he" it means he/she, but he/she sounds like a sneeze and I won't use it.) Sure, even the dull professor probably intends to let the class talk, but then realizes there is just far too little time to get across all the information he had on the subject, and how lucky the students are that he knows so much. Little scientific fact here for you folks, if students don't get to talk, you can divide what they will learn by some­ thing like 64. It was once said that the only reason anyone listens to someone talk is because they know it is their turn next. Alas, the good professor. Just to kill any idea about grades being directly related to "good", let it be shown that I have gotten poor grades from great professors (wacky freshman year). Professors who trust students enough to let them get involved, these are the ones I recommend to my friends. The ones where you actually feel guilty when you miss class. Professors who will say "hello" in the halls are the folks you don't think twice about asking a ques­ tion. So how do we prevent this situation of hapless stu­ dents who get caught in dull classes, either because they have to take the class, or weren't able to realize their folly in time. I've thought about some kind of marking, like in ninja movies. The dull professors would be in some kind of clan, and would have perma­ nent red marks on their forearms. The only problem is they would probably wear long sleeve shirts until after the drop/add period. 1 nave aiso no.iced hr ,v some departments come up with classes I have never seen before and do so most every semester. I don't know how this works, but it seems like they let the professors teach what interests them, taking an angle on a body of work that relates to the de­ partment. When I have taken classes like this the profes­ sor seems to have a personal stake in the class, perhaps because it may have been his idea. Over all, I have been very impressed with the univer­ sity. I realize it is a wonderful institution, but for profes­ sors, an institution none the less. And institutions can in­ stitutionalize, and institutionalization is dull. Professors could easily get frustrated with the university, and frustra­ tion can often lead to situations where professors turn dullish. The fault may only barely be their own. So, I challenge professors to trust students and try new things. And if not this, then tattoo their forearms red. Sure, even the dull professor probably intends to let the class talk, but then realizes there is just far too little time to get across all the information he had on the subject, and how lucky the students are that he knows so much.

The "90s hippies, in their attempt to be like their '60s predecessor, often fail to see what separates them from their prototypes. In the '60s, hippies banded together to fight for a cause. They created their own sub-culture. The '90s hippies, however, are often found banding together in search of a cause. They did not create their own sub­ culture, they merely replicated the '60s sub­ culture. Maybe they did not realize that the '60s sub-culture died when Diana Ross be came famous. When the modern day hippie latches onto a cause they become extremely radical about it. They often do irrational things in the name of whatever cause they are fight­ ing for at the time. It is true that their radical behavior is sometimes beneficial. Everyone knows, or should know, that recycling is good, that peace is better than war, and that houses with septic tanks shouldn't be built into the side of a mountain, where a community's water­ shed lies. If it weren't for these radical hip­ pies constantly bombarding the public with their views, one could easily assume that re­ cycling wouldn't be so prevalent today. Also, if it weren't for the hippies who chained them­ selves to the trees on Howard's Knob, Knob developer, Monty Green, might be surveying more than his own driveway right now. The fact of the mater is that today's hip­ pie is no better at being an individual than the fraternity/sorority members, or the ath­ letes. All of these groups are cliques. They hang out together, dress the same, act the same, and believe in the same things. Everyone has the right to associate with whomever they choose, be it the hippies, the frat-boys, or the jocks. Maybe the hippies of today will realize this instead of condemn­ ing other cliques for their so-called lack of individuality. In the '90s, hippie is just short for hypocrite. <*11 S4e<xtA ervyAei",'/ ~|uc; he iver Righteous doeso; always equal rig! epr 'Tot tuft an ow aniii Clay Barbour Features Editor Every year students pile into the ivory hai academia in search of the answers to the mystr the universe - or do they?

I also feel that if you have ithtng better to write about in your iwspaper, then, perhaps you are no are sympathetic than the residents Bowie Hall, whom you so hastily mean. Before you so boldly make the asmption that Bowie Hall is the "Pil• of Apathy," perhaps you should take e time to talk to some of the resints of Bowie Hall and ask them why ey do not have a representative. If u had taken the time to ask this estion, you may have come across »fact that most residents did not En know that they did not have a jresentative. We are students, first election, because I did not support any of the candidates. Instead of choos­ ing the lesser of three evils, I chose not to vote. How do you know that wasn't why everyone else didn't vote? Maybe you just have apathetic friends and you think they are somehow in­ dicative of all Appalachian students. Thankfully, they are not. Regardless of what you based your assumptions on, 1 know students who are very involved and 1 also know students who may as well be "in a coma." While I don't know their per­ sonal reasons for acting like they do, I do know that they do what they do because they want to. How can you, as "Editorials Editor," not recognize how self-serving it sounds to everyone else when you rail against people get­ ting "involved?" Furthermore, you may think that someone is involved only if they vote, but I think your defi­ nition is incredibly narrow. Take a look at the front page of the same edition your column appeared in: "Student Attendance Up at Cultural Affairs Events." I use this example only to show that involvement is in the eye of the beholder. Ken, I know that your intentions are good and you only want more people to become "involved" in the ways you write about. I also know, however, that many students work, study, play, and do many, many other things that are more important to them than the things you espouse in your column. Who are you, who is anybody, to say we are wrong? and foremost. We pay good money to take classes at this institution. I real­ ize that we must also be citizens of this college community, but we must make sure we are academically stable before engaging in such extracurricular activi­ ties as student government. You must also realize that most of the residents of Bowie Hall are freshmen and trans­ fers and we are not particularly allknowing when it comes to what is go­ ing on around campus. I do not place the blame for our lack of information on the administra­ tion of the building, because many of our RA's were not even informed of the elections. I do however hold the media responsible for encouraging and promoting such activities as voting for student government. If we, the resi­ dents of Bowie Hall had been informed by the media, be it posters, signs, etc. then believe me that we would most definitely have spared a few moments of our time. I would also like to inform you that while you were busy focusing on Bowie Hall's apathy in SGA, you failed to see that the sixth floor of Bowie is already planning an escort service for females who need to walk back to their dorms at night, and we plan to have a trick or treat event for elementary stu­ dents on Halloween. So, next time, before you decide to write an editorial in which you call anyone apathetic, please find out all of the facts. I have responded to your challenge and would like to thank you for informing us of the fact that we did not have a representative in SGA, and I assure you that we will take the time to elect an official now that we have been informed by the media. To The Editor: Doug R. Strahler ASU Box 11929 To the Editor: I am responding to John Nolte's article in the Oct.3 edition entitled, "Eliminate the Pell Grant." When I was reading the paper, this headline cried out at me, so I began to read, and was offended at what it said. I am one of the "immortal tax burdens," the "wel­ fare handouts." But I am here, and I plan to stay. I came to Appalachian State Uni­ versity to get an education. 1 always dreamed of being the first in my fam­ ily to graduate from college.

The reason I ae back to Bowie was because of i atmosphere and how the students l unite for a cause. You, sir, have ibably never come to Bowie to see v the students can unite, so I will e you just a few examples. First off, last year, the students of vie united to build one of the most jressive floats of the Homecoming ade. I certainly don't recall any er dorm having a 12-foot papierche' Statue of Liberty or an 8-foot ning Tower of Pisa. Also, during Homecoming dorm cheer contest ipper Stadium, Bowie Hall had one he largest (if not the largest) group ers of anybody. Also, Bowie fielded ny intramural sports teams.

Also, Mr. Larking, how can a dorm be expected to vote on elections when we are never even notified that elections are taking place? Last year signs and fliers were up all over cam­ pus. This year, nothing. Well sir, Bowie Dorm is my home, and I'll be happy to represent it in SGA. Come by the SGA office Friday (Oct. 6) morning. Hopefully you'll see me. When the office opens, I'll be there ready to get my application and my 100 signatures. Hope to see you at an SGA meeting. Vincent A. Esposito ASU Box 15135 Student Senate. The same senate that both internally and externally empow­ ers students with direction in which to make waves. The same senate rep­ resenting apathetic students who strive to make a difference for those and are rewarded by satisfaction...yet criticized by the few who fail to rec­ ognize their numerous achievements. Perhaps, in the future, a less apathetic approach to the Student Senate by The Appalachian may just display to the students that there is a positive way to become involved. After all, an in­ formed student is a happy student. Mike F.

SGA must receive parking spaces on campus, because I assume that parking isn't an SGA problem. Ken Larking, your article made about as much sense as a solar-pow­ ered flashlight! SGA is a pillar in the community of ASU. I would like to be able to say the same about the school's newspaper. I feel that an apology is in order to the residents of Bowie. If anything, the plaque outside Bowie should read " Ken Larking, Enter At Your Own Risk." I don't think you have a Pulitzer prize coming your way any­ time soon. Next time, come tell the residents of Bowie how you feel to­ ward them instead of hiding behind your precious editorial! James A. Hall III ASU Box 16254 Down for the count To the Editor: 1 would like to address Mr. Wilkinson's article in the Sept. 28 edi­ tion of the Appalachian entitled, "Why preachers resemble pro wres­ tlers." I must admit it was quite an interesting piece of work, however, I cannot totally agree. First of all, your title addresses "preachers" while your opening sen­ tence refers to "televangelism." Those two are not one and the same, so from the very beginning it is incor­ rect. You refer to Satan as the "bad guy" who is "most often depicted as really aggressive." I would argue against that point Mr. Wilkinson. Sa­ tan is the most subtle and peaceful "bad guy" we could ever imagine. How else would evil slowly creep into society without any opposition? Sa­ tan is a deceiver and succeeds not with the mass murderers and rapists only - he is most effective with socalled "good guys" - the ones who compromise what is right and still see themselves as moral. Wilkinson said, "Pro-wrestling, like religion and evangelism, has dif­ ferent sects." Mr. Wilkinson, religion and evangelism are not the same. Evangelism has no sect. Evan­ gelism is reaching out and sharing what you believe. And while I am on the subject, I am a Christian, not because of what church I go to or what sect I belong to, but because I have a relationship with God. Though it pains me and frus­ trates me, I must agree with you on one point. Too many "religious" people feel when they are "out of the ring" that the rules no longer apply. That is the absolute truth. So many "Christians" believe that attending church appeases God and that the rest of the week is there for them­ selves. It's a shame that those people are the examples used for your ar­ ticle, and not the true Christians that act upon what they believe. You see, I believe in the word of God. The difference be­ tween most people and me is this: I have taken the time to look in God's word. I challenge you to do the same. Scott A. Morrison ASU Box 13903 Are comedians holding hostages? To the Editor: It must have been horrible for Mr. Bunting! (Letter to the editor, Oct. 5) When he went to the Comic Strip Live performance, he appar­ ently was incredibly offended and angered by the headliners' act, and my heart goes out to him. However, I do have one ques­ tion: What type of gun was Bill Graber holding to Mr. Bunting's head, forcing him to stay and listen? (Since I was not in attendance, this is the only conclusion I could come to. Personally, I have never been in a situation where if I was for any rea­ son offended or angered by another person's behavior, I could not simply choose to leave.) For if Mr. Graber didn't have a gun, surely Mr. Bunting would have left. I'm certain he would have spared himself such a horren­ dous experience, given the option. So Bill Graber, wherever you are: STOP THE VIOLENCE!! Let those who do not care for your act leave whenever they choose! Please quit holding unsuspecting college students hostage! And a word of advice to Mr. Bunting: next time you go out, make sure you find a seat very close to the doors, so that you can make a clean escape at the first sign of offensive behavior. Don't let yourself be vic­ timized again. Dana E. Lang ASU Box 7779 that one day, I will be paying it back in taxes. I know that I am using these funds for the purpose of bettering myself. I understand your opinion on those that do not, but do not knock those that you do not see until you have walked in their shoes. My wife and I are not in an "Oprah coma," but just the opposite. We do not have time to watch the tube because of the time we spend work­ ing, going to classes, raising our son, and coming home to study into the late evening and sometimes into the early morning hours. I do feel that the beauracrats could regulate the welfare programs better and not allow welfare funds to be sucked up by those who wish to do nothing to better them­ selves. Mr. Nolte, get a grip and realize that there are exceptions to every situ­ ation and I hope that one day you, as well as others, will be a little more compassionate towards those less for­ tunate than yourself. high school, I worked hard to keep my grades up, in hopes of attending a four year school. I knew money would be tight, but I thought my parents could help, and I thought I would get some financial aid. Luckily, I did. I got a Pell Grant. But I also got $2,500 in loans. By the time I get out of college, I will owe the government $10,000, or maybe more. I'm also involved in the workstudy program. This is all good. I am getting my education, which is what I always wanted. I couldn't afford to go to college without the Pell Grant. My father is out of work, because the place he worked had layoffs, and mother is a secretary at a local elementary school. It makes me angry that John Nolte as­ sumed that all of the Pell Grant stu­ dents do not work, nor their parents. Is it a crime to be poor and need money to get an education? I have never been on welfare. But without the money 1 received, I would be back in my hometown, working in a factory. That is not a bad job, but I knew I could do more. According to your percentage chart, 16.3 percent of students re­ ceived the Pell Grant. I believe that all of the students who received it are deserving. They deserve the chance to go to college. Don't take away a program that is helping society. Cut defense spending, or some other wasteful program. Just don't hurt the students who need a chance in this world. I earned the chance to come to college. I deserve it. My major is political science, and if I ever achieve my dream of being in the U.S. govern­ ment, I plan to keep education first. Without educated young people, the world will never survive. To the Editor: McClain Watson ASU Box 10841 This is a response to the article titled "Eliminate the Pell Grant" by John Nolte in the Oct. 3 paper. I re­ spect Mr. Nolte's right to an opinion, but definitely do not agree with it. Mr. Nolte seems to have attached a nega­ tive stigma to the term "welfare," as many others have as well, I am sure. Welfare, while having its shortcom­ ings, allows the poor, under-privileged, working and non-working class alike to keep their heads above water (just barely), while trying to better them­ selves or just scratch out a meager liv­ ing for themselves. I have broken my back working two jobs at one time just to make ends meet just like you Mr. Nolte. I have even held three different jobs at once just so I could earn enough money to move to Boone and attend Appala­ chian. I am proud to say that I accept Pell Grant funds as well as any other aid I can receive in order to better my life and the lives of my wife and twoyear-old son. My spouse attends Caldwell Community College that is funded by the Employment Security Agency, Social Services, Student Loans, and the Pell Grant. You see Mr. Nolte, my wife has a hearing disabil­ ity and if it were not for these funds, she would not be able to take advan­ tage of the opportunity to attend school and better her life. I, nor my spouse, have any shame in either ac­ cepting or using these funds to sup­ port ourselves while attending school. I work full-time while attending Ap­ palachian full-time, and if it was not for these so called "welfare-like" hand­ outs, neither my spouse or I would be able to attend school. We would still be working for mediocre wages with no future hope for a better life. So, Mr. Nolte, you might want to open your mind and see others' per­ spectives from their viewpoints widhout condemning them for accept­ ing aid that they have been paying taxes for just like yourself. I person­ ally feel that I have earned the Pell Grant funds I receive: therefore, I will accept them proudly along with any other type of aid I can get, knowing ceiver of a Pell Grant. No one can tell me that I am giv­ ing in and accepting welfare, that I am not working to pay my tuition myself. When I graduate I will owe many thou­ sands of dollars to the system. It hurts when people look down on you be­ cause you need financial aid. I look around at students who have beauti­ ful cars, gas cards, credit cards, extra spending money, a fully-paid tuition— all free to them. I do not have such things. I scrounge about with the money I have from working hard all week, while also going to school, to pay electric bills, rent, tuition. I work hard while others are off having fun. Yet, I am happy because I have my foot in a door I thought I would never be strong enough to open, and no one is ever taking this chance away from me. Think again when you consider taking away someone's chance at an education. Your tuition may be fully paid, however, I bet a financial aid receiver's education is more tully ap­ preciated. I've never been inspired to write anything to the newspaper, however, after reading the editorial titled "Elimi­ nate the Pell Grant," I was enraged to the point where I had to speak up. I am a Pell Grant receiver. I do not believe that anyone has the right to say that I am accepting welfare. I am one of the first people in my fam­ ily to go to college. Both of my par­ ents have only made it through high school. They, however, do not look to the government for assistance. They both work very hard to provide for their family. When it came time for me to go to school there was not enough money to pay for the expected tuition. My parents did all they could, but still there was no way that they could meet my tuition needs. 1 was not going to give up though. I was going to school no matter what. Currently I'm enrolled in my sec­ ond year here at Appalachian. I now have five loans, work two jobs (one of which is work study), have had vari­ ous scholarships, my parents are pay­ ing on a loan, and I am a proud re­ To the Editor: I am writing in response to John Nolte's article, "Eliminate the Pell Grant," in the Oct. 3 edition of the Appalachian. I do not think that all the views were considered when this article was written. According to the article, 16.3 percent of Appalachian students receive a Pell Grant. I am included in this percentage. If the Pell Grant was eliminated, I would not be able to go to college. Just think of how many other people would be affected in the same way. The grant is some­ times the only way that certain people can attend college. If they could not go, what kind of jobs would they get? Certainly not the kinds of jobs that can support a family. An example of this situation is my mother. She is 39 years old, divorced, and has four children. She passed up the opportunity to go to college so she To the Editor: I am writing in response to the editorial by John Nolte entitled "Elimi­ nate the Pell Grant." 1 believe that Mr. Nolte should do a little more investi­ gating and find out how much his edu­ cation would cost without any aid Edward A.

The only place she could find a job was at a gas station. Now she has decided to go to nursing school to make a better life for herself and my brother and sisters. The only way she can go is on a full Pell Grant. Now tell me, where is the shame in that? People need to realize that not all people on welfare are drunks or single mothers glued to Oprah. My mother, like a lot of other people receiving grants to go to school, is hard-work­ ing, trustworthy, and dependable. She only wants a better life and having a Pell Grant is her first step in climbing her ladder to success. Jenny R. Mooneyhan ASU Box 05729 from the government.

Autumn has arrived. As fall arrives, so does the recreation that comes along with it. This season raises a burn­ ing desire to be a part of all fall has to offer. And it has so much to offer. The weather is perfect (it does get perfect in Boone this time of year), and you find your­ self soaking up the beautiful atmosphere as quickly as you can before the cruel winter winds pick up. There is so much to do and so little time. This creates a dilemma for students. After all, this is the time when professors test us on material we were supposed to have been learn­ ing since August. Do you study or do you play? Finding a happy medium between the two can be both taxing and satisfying. According to Julie D. Alexander, a sophomore from Can­ outside and soak up some sun,"says Alexander. While many students make valiant attempts to keep priorities in order, many often fall short. Sophomore David M. Gay of Mt. Pleasant, S.C. enjoys mountain biking during this time of the year. "This time of year is the best time to be out on the trails. My books usually end up second," says Gay. Often the weather is not the only thing that keeps students from their studies. This time of year finds college football in some of its most exciting stages. "When Florida State is on tele­ vision you won't find me doing any studying," says Clinton K. Bowman, a junior from Hickory. Whether it be football, biking or simply getting out in the woods and breathing in the cool air, autumn requires students to take a look at what is most important. Sometimes that turns out to be the match­ up between Georgia and Clemson, and some­ times it may be a history mid-term. Discover­ ing what will have a greater effect in the long run may be the deciding factor. Senior Matthew C. Ferebee of Hickory says, "As the leaves start changing, I find myself in the library more than on my bike." Whatever it is you like to do during this gorgeous season, finding a happy medium may be the most beneficial and satisfying thing to ton, Ohio, "When the weather is beautiful, I find it hard to force myself to study."

The most hers 0f notable line is "the underground is over­ crowded" from the song "Greatest of All Time." A statement? I wonder. It's definitely a great song. The blends of "1985" and "Fabricoh" emerge from fogs of noise into infectious, fullon rockers. "Underachieves March and Fight Song" is an anthem all the way. It even has the horns. My pick from the album is the pastoral sounding "Death in the Park." Mood, mood, eporter When you think about Leonardo da inci, Benjamin Franklin and George Bernard haw, the connection between them usually mcerns their achievements. However, all iree were also vegetarians, a lifestyle that is tcoming popular among many students at ppalachian. In keeping with this trend, many places l campus are providing meals for vegetarn students trying to maintain their meatss diet. Penny M. Godbold, who has been a :getarian for the past five years says, "I think is great that they recognize the fact that udents are becoming more health conious." The Market, Park Place Cafe, The Lite de, and Cascades all offer menus with a vegarian twist that addresses this growing inrest. Sophomore Rachel A. Figura says, he vegetarian meals are adequate." While there are many reasons students ve for adopting a vegetarian lifestyle, some the most common deal with animal rights, •alth issues and factory farming. Albert srt" V Wray says, "I became a vegetarian an attempt to remove myself from the anufacturing cycle." Unlike Wray, who consciously decided to come a vegetarian, some students, like -shman Jennifer C. Stender, have been ised as vegetarians. "My stomach has adsted to a meatless diet and the thought of ting meat just doesn't appeal to me," says ender. Figura has also been a vegetarian r most of her life and says, "I don't con­ fer meat to be food. For me, my lifestyle is jural." • Often vegetarians wonder how they ever ' meat to begin with. "It just became too weird to eat meat; it became physically im­ possible," says Wray. Some students would prefer to grow their own organic crops, but due to money and time, it is impractical. For Leah C. Safir and Mark E. Evangelist, the exploitation of animals and the "destruc­ tion of mass amounts of land" were the major issues that caused them to turn vegetarian. "(Eating animals) seems very cruel to me,"says Safir. As Godbold began to learn more about her vegetarian diet, she found more and more reasons for being a vegetarian. The animal rights issues were her initial reasoning, but the more she learned about the environment and personal health, the more being a vegetarian seemed to make sense. Many students describe how being a veg­ etarian has helped them understand the world around them. For Wray, the end result has given him "an increased respect for other ani­ mals, humans and the earth. It has helped me gain spiritual peace within myself and my meals are now part of a spiritual program." Both Wray and Kristopher A. Kuhn are con­ cerned with the idea that when eating we are not focusing enough on the food on our plate. Kuhn says, "We are disrupting life. We need to liberate human beings from animals." For students who are vegetarian, Bare Essentials, a health and nutrition store, offers many organic grains, rices and produces at decent prices. Some of these items are even produced by local farmers. Many students seem to agree that the food services on campus accommodates them with more vegetarian options than other campuses. So, on campus and off, the Boone area offers many vegetarian choices for its people. Bare Essentials even offers food for your cat. That's right. Bare Essentials offers all natural cat food with no preservatives or chemicals for those who do not want their cats addicted to the unnatural commercial brand.

The past few years have seen a trea­ sure trove of danceable, yet sexually explicit songs flood the market. Everyone from Ma­ donna to Nine Inch Nails to Pantera have got­ ten in on what seems to be a hot commodity in the music world. Now, even poets are getting in on the act. Erotic poet Erica Jong has lent her works to vocalist Vanessa Daou for the latter's album, Zipless. The album contains poems by Jong from 1970 to the present, as well as music written by Daou and performed by her hus­ band. The music is undeniably the force that drives the erotica on this album. A slight jazz feel flows throughout, with a touch of dance rhythm reminiscent of Enigma. The lyrics, to their credit, are not over­ wrought with blatant sexual innuendo. The poet chooses more subtle ways to convey the feel of sexuality in her works. In fact, the al­ bum does not merit the warning label stuck to its cover. Its four letter words are few and far between. Most of the songs on the album don't even deal with sex, but rather, present other situations (metaphors, perhaps?) from a woman's point of view. Still, the voluptuous Daou delivers even the most pastoral lyric in a tone so sultry that the listener is convinced she's singing about her sexual escapades. The bottom line is this wasn't a bad al­ bum. It didn't come across as another lame attempt to cash in on the collective hormone of America.

Gift Certificates Available 265-3313 Something's amiss in Los Angeles, inno­ cent people are being murdered because of a sex and race scandal. Don't worry, this has nothing to do with O.J. Here, the man in hot water is Ezekial "Easy" Rawlins, the center of the crime drama "Devil in a Blue Dress" (Rated "R"). Besides, this movie takes place in 1948, before the Simpson trial. Yes, chil­ dren, there was a time when we didn't know who Lance Ito was - a very long time ago. Easy (played by Denzel Washington) needs to pay the rent on his new house. His G.I. bill is running out and he's just been fired from his job at the airport. When an obviously crooked hood named Albright (Tom Sizemore) offers Easy a quickie job, our hero takes it. Big mistake. For $100, Easy has to locate a missing white woman named Daphne (Jennifer Beals), who likes to hang out in black bars. Daphne always wears a blue dress, hence the tide of the film. The job sounds easy enough, but it's not. Soon, Easy is in the middle of numerous murders and massive corruption that points to city hall and the mayoral elec­ tion race. CLUB PRESIDENTS: Luncheon Buffet Watauga YillagcMiopping Center (Across from llolidav Inn I Blowing Hoik Kd*Hoone, NC Reporter Based on a novel by Walter Mosley, "Devil" has been compared to the 1974 film noir classic "Chinatown." I've seen "Chinatown" and I loved it, but this is no "Chinatown." Still, "Devil" is quite good. Screenwriter and director Carl Franklin ("One False Move") paints an intriguing tale of life in post-war Los Angeles. Unfortunately, Franklin doesn't go far enough. In the film there is no real sense of utter danger or death. These things were in abundance in "Chinatown." Instead, Franklin centers on the slow intrusion of crime in the peaceful neighborhoods of South Central L. A. The com­ munity of yesteryear has turned tragically into the 'hood of today; a great lesson that gets overly preachy at times. The man who walks away with "Devil" is surprisingly not the usually superb Wash­ ington. As Eas/s best friend and complete nutcase "Mouse," Don Cheadle (from "Picket Fences") is brilliant. Like Joe Pesci's infamous psychokiller in "Goodfellas," Mouse takes great pride and little remorse in murdering or maiming people. The scary thing is, Mouse is a funny and enjoyable guy. "Devil in a Blue Dress" is itself fun and enjoyable and it's much shorter than the O.J. trial. So, check it out.

"Those games ve been high scoring affairs, and games that e come down to the wire, but we have been , the short end both years." Appalachian hopes to fare much better aa last year, as the Eagles won 34-31 on a st minute field goal. The Mountaineer de­ nse gave up a season high 273-yards rushn including 98 yards to returning fullback tad Holmes. The Eagles will be hard pressed repeat that feat, the stingy Appalachian de­ nse has only given up an average of 89.4 }ds per game this year. While both offenses posted good numbers st week and in their previous two meetings, is year looks to be a defensive battle. Appachian tied a school record last weekend with sacks. Georgia Southern blanked Western irolina, holding the Catamounts to just 98irds rushing and 96-yards passing. "On defense, Derrick Reeves, Edward Thoas, Lee Brooks, and the rest of our defensive ant did a super job of keeping pressure on tad Greene," commented head GSU coach m Stowers.

Appalachian (5-0) looks to remain unde­ feated in the 4:00 game against Georgia South­ ern (4-1). The game will be televised by SportSouth. "I expect this game to be just like the past two years, where it will be decided on the fi­ nal drive," commented coach Moore.

The Appalachian State Mountaineer lady golf team continued their fall season in not so good fashion this past weekend on the blue grass of Kentucky. The tournament, which was held at the University of Kentucky, yielded a 17 team event in which our swing­ ing Mountaineers finished 16th. In the opening round, the best perfor­ mance came from Erin B. McArthur (Ringgold), who shot an opening round 80 to lead the Mountaineers. The closest ASU golfer to her was Karen D. Muench (Lawsonville) with a first round 87. In this opening round, the Mountaineers posted their worst round total in either of their two tournaments this fall, which couldn't have provided a good outlook for the rest of the tournament. McArthur went on to lead the Moun­ taineers in the second round of play, dupli­ cating her first round score of 80. ASU did improve their score by 15 strokes in this round, showing great team character. The Mountaineers went on to finish with a sec­ ond round score of 330 and a third round score of337, thus posting a final three round total of 1012. The best individual finisher for the Mountaineers was Erin B. McArthur who finished 60th in the final posting. The Mountaineers look to improve in thier next tournament. Both the players and Coach Dicus know that they will have to play bet­ ter if they want to become competitive. One thing to note about this tournament is that the Mountaineers were witout their best player, Meridyth A. Stanley (Ormond Beach), who's reason for being absent is un­ known. Her presence should shave at least a few strokes off the score for the next event. The Lady Mountaineers swing back into ac­ tion on October 20 at the Lady Paladin Invi­ tational at Furman University, where green grass hopes to be luckier than blue grass. On Wednesday, October 4, amongst the fog and the mist, the men's soccer team took on Furman. Furman, the leader in the South­ ern Conference, was handed a 3-2 loss in over­ time, while Appalachian improved its record to 6-5. The game opened with Jay Lane, a senior from King N.C., scoring an unassisted goal in the first 15 seconds. The Furman goalie let the direct shot slide past. The game then con­ tinued with no team having complete possesion of the ball, until Furman's Brian Nickerson found himself unopposed as the goalie was out of the box and in 20:35 he scored unassisted. The officials took control of the aggresive game, first giving a yellow card to D. Mark Hemphill, a freshman from Asheville, then to Jay Lane. Frustrated, Coach Art Rex asked the officials to "make sure they go both ways." On the next play, yellows were issued to both Ap­ palachian and Furman. With under 30 seconds left in the first half Furman player Brent Rosser took a shot that deflected off sophmore goalie Chad A. Hawley, from Cary, N.C. Then, while Hawley had come out, Rosser knocked it in, leaving the score 21 Furman at the half. The Mountaineers picked up the intensity as the second half unfolded. They took shot after shot but simply could not produce. While on the other end Appalachain recieved big defensive plays by Jay Lane, senior Ryan K. Anderson from Atlanta native Robert J. Black, a freshman goalie from Greensboro. With 54 seconds left in regulation Jay Lane scored his second goal of the game, bringing him to a team leading seven goals and tying up the game at 2-2. The first half of overtime the shots on both sides continued. With under a minute left Jay Lane set up a beautiful offensive play for the senior from Ormand Beach, Fla., C. Brett Harrell: Brett's goal was assisted by both Brian C. Cone, a senior from Concord, N.C., and Mike R Moody, a junior from Matthews, N.C. The goal brought the game to its final score 32 Appalachian. The game was far from over, however. The Mountaineers had to play big on defense to maintain the win. A Furman shot that was less than a yard before reaching the net and sure to score was saved by junior defensive player Kevin Turner, from Allison Park, Pa., who also saved the game from ending in a tie. 7 was very intimidated when I started.

According to SGA President Darby Weaver, the legislation is intended to require the homecoming queen to play a larger role in the community. "I want it to be more than a title or popularity contest, but instead a way that the queen can feel she was selected to be a true representative of our great university, " said Baker. Baker would like scholarships to ac­ company the title of homecoming queen. Baker also wants the homecoming queen to have an official sponsor, such as a female fac­ ulty member. "The sponsor's role would be minor, yet vital in case the queen needed to consult her with any further suggestions or concerns," said Baker. "The bottom line is for this new role to be fun for the special person selected," said Baker. "I want all nominees to look forward to helping our school and community through this opportunity." "I think this is great, and I hope this makes the student body base their decisions upon ability and representation of Appalachian and not just popularity," said Christopher W Henderson, a sophomore from Burlington. The Appalchian State University Board of Trustees allocated $75,000 for the installation of more efficient lights on campus. Jane E Helm, vice chancellor of busi­ ness affairs, said that the money is for chang­ ing the already existing lights to more efficient ones. "No new lighting will be added," she said. Roy A. Tugman, director of public safety at Appalachian, said he didn't know anything about the money, but security had participated in The Safety Walk, a program that evaluates the current lighting on campus, with New River Light and Power Company and the Student Government Association on Sept. 8. "Most of the lighting is in good shape," Tugman said. Felicia F. Fluid, student affairs chair of SGA, said that there is room for improve­ ment. There are currently 19 blue lights on campus. Fluid said that 6 more are needed on campus. According to Fluid, blue lights should be installed in front and behind Wey Hall, the parking lot of Raley Hall, next to Belk Library, at Appalachian Heights and the walkway to Edwin Duncan Hall. Fluid said that the white lights at the corner of Rankin and on the side of D.D Dough­ erty are blocked by trees. Students are concerned about the lighting on campus, especially after a female student was alledgedly assaulted by Trivette. "All the lights are inadequate for the number of students here, and I don't feel safe," said Shannon C. Hoadley, a senior from Ra­ leigh. lumni present McKinney's eed to the B0T, university anne Carter rter During a Board of Trustees meeting '^Pt-22, the foundation of Appalachian 26-'crsity transferred ownership of the inic' completed McKinney Alumni Center to wersity.

Hebert said that the library depends on the donations of individuals and businesses for the puchase of new books and computers. Hebert said most of the books purchased to fill the new facility will be adult and reference materials. Hebert said the new facility will also have a meeting room that seats 100 people. She said the room would be open to non-profit groups for meeting space. "There really isn't a facility like that in Boone," said Hebert. "I think it will be wellused." The public library also performs pro­ grams in 12 day cares and nursing homes in Watauga County. They also sponsor a sum­ mer reading program for children.

The current facility on Depot Street only has 18 spaces. "It's difficult for library users to get here, said Hebert. "They really have to make an effort." According to Hebert, eight percent of the county library users are Appalachian stu­ dents. She also said she hopes the new facil­ ity will draw more students because it will have about 70 places for people to sit and study. "One of our big problems now is that we have no place for people to sit and study," said Hebert.

The McKinney Center was built for the alumni to have a place to meet during foot­ ball games and to provide a building to host faculty receptions and class reunions. Groundbreaking and construction of the alumni center began on May 7, 1994 by Hall Architects of Charlotte. Offices, such as the Appalachian Student Ambassadors and the Appalachian Alumni Association, officially moved into the McKinney center on July 15, 1995, during summer sessions. The grand opening of the McKinney Center is planned for some time in the Spring of 1996. However, plans for an open house of the alumni center during homecoming week­ end, are being finalized.

Blimling said a primary drawback to cancelling clsses is that it creates "severe scheduling problems for laboratories and other classes" in which students must cover a certain amount of material in a designated time. Commuters and other stu­ dents who do miss a class are respon­ sible for reconciling their absence with their professors and making up any class work.

While Appalachian is not a crime pit, neiier is it a bastion of safety or a Utopian society where inte does not exist. Last year, there was only one case of rape reorted at Appalachian. That is pretty good when ompared to the three cases reported at NC-State, ie four cases reported at UNC-Greensboro or the 11 iSes reported at UNC-Chapel Hill. Or is it? Keep in unc) that these other schools all have much larger impuses and are located either in or near much irger cities. Also keep in mind that for a rape to cake it into the crime logs it must be reported. As have already seen this year, assaults and other imes often do not make it to that stage of prosecu on. Assaults on the Appalachian campus numbered I for 1994. Assaults on the UNC-Greensboro camus numbered only six. On the surface it looks as lough one would be 50 percent more likely to be % vaulted on the Appalachian campus. In reality, howrer, that percentage is much higher. Remember, H NC-Greensboro has a much larger enrollment and H located in a much larger city while Appalachian q as much fewer students.

Secondly, in cases of rape, incest or the mother's life, abortion is proper. Finally, a father who refuses financial and emotional support to his child is just as morally reprehensible as a mother who does the same with a convenience abortion. Ninetyfive percent, or 1.3 million abortions, are performed yearly in this country for conve­ nience. The support of this ghastly practice is based on rationalizing, not law, compas­ sion, or even common sense. Abortion is constitutionally protected? Please. Unable to win this debate honestly using legislation, the American people were back-doored by seven "social engineers," led by Harry Blackmun, who found the right to abortion in a non-existing privacy clause. The damage this court has done to our country is impossible to sum up in one column. But us­ ing the Constitution to deprive the unborn of "person" status, thus giving citizens imperial/ \\J \/If / V 'st'c contr°l of them, sounds a bit too close to ) /n America's early rationalization of slavery. It's easier to make a case that abortion is uncon­ stitutional when we deprive one of life with­ out due process. But the Constitution is silent on this matter and these justices should've shown similar restraint. It's also bad law. When you are going to take human life I don't believe there should be gray areas. Restricting abortion to trimes­ ters is ridiculous because we can never be sure exactly when one begins or ends. As technol­ ogy improves and premature babies are able to survive at younger ages we will soon get to a point where we are aborting babies who are old enough to survive. The distinction be­ tween murder and abortion is about to be defined simply by where the baby is located. In many states if a fetus is killed by someone other than the mother murder charges are filed. When does a fetus receive "person" sta­ tus? The law is so bad no one knows. A woman should not be allowed to do what she wants with her body. When feminists start screaming about legalizing pros­ titution and drugs, I'll be the first to applaud their consistency. Listen, it is not the woman's body being sucked through a hose. I know legally it's not a "person" either, but let's not play word games here. An unborn child is being vacuumed to death, not the mother. People who believe in abortion need to start acting like grown-ups and face what it is they are advocating instead of hiding behind sterile slogans. No one is asking women to do anything more than give birth. You don't have to change diapers or kiss any boo boos. Just accept enough responsibility for your ac­ tions to give the child life. You don't even have to look at the kid because somewhere a couple has waited years to love your child. One of the biggest myths in this entire debate is that children of color are never adopted. The people who believe this love feeling superior to the rest of us. I have two grandchildren who are black and if anything ever happened to their parents I would be proud to raise them as my own and I'm no better than anyone. The only documented prejudice is that of bureaucrats refusing inter-racial adoptions, not a lack of couples desperate for any child to love. Liberals are intolerant of opposing viewpoints. Conservatives are ready to make the pro-choice Colin Powell president. The supposedly intolerant Christian Coalition has only requested he respect their values and have expressed admiration for his val­ ues while also urging him to run. It was Bill Clinton and liberal Democrats who re­ fused to allow a pro-life Democrat to speak at their '92 presidential convention. There are many pro-choice Republicans who are not only allowed to speak at conventions, but are supported by their party and the Christian Coalition. In this debate, fascism is solely a tool of the left. Abortion is a Pandora's box. What are we going to do when a generics test at home will tell you the hair color, sex, intelligence, temperament, or skin pigment of your unborn baby, and a pill will allow you to try again? Soon advocates of abortion will find their agenda turning on them. In China, sex selected abortions have given us see Choice page 5 A w a Deanna Hall Business Manager Columnist In 1973, two years before 1 was born, women won back the right to control their bodies from the U.S. government. That year marked the end of Roe v. Wade, the case which resulted in abortion being made legal again. Abortion is the procedure by which a woman terminates a pregnancy. There are several forms including suction and RU486, the new abortion pill. No matter which method a woman uses, she is ending a life. A living, growing fetus inside her dies. There is no other way to look at it. The point at which life begins is irrelevant. No matter when the brain forms or the heart starts beating, a fetus is denied the right to live. You can't sugarcoat a medical procedure which ends when a life does. I am pro-choice. I don't have to tell you that most Americans are pro-choice, or that I believe women who are pro-life are thinking with their hearts and not their heads, to make my point. I believe most pro-choice people share my views. I look at the right to choose as an exten­ sion of Constitutional rights that apply to ev­ eryone. If women cannot control what hap­ pens to their bodies, what can they control about their lives? Ever seen the bumper sticker that says, "How can you trust me with a baby if you can't even trust me with a choice?" Who says that one group's ideals should apply to everyone? An unplanned pregnancy creates three choices: keeping the unwanted baby, adop­ tion or abortion. Giving someone freedom of choice doesn't require them to 'do anything. It gives options from which to choose. Freedom of choice equals a woman's con­ trol over her body, women having safe abor­ tions, women who can't care for a baby hav­ ing the option not to have to, babies not be­ ing brought into the world unwanted, rape victims being given the right to take back their uterus, and finally, the unhealthy child not being born into a home which cannot care for it and a-world that doesn't want to. Choice adds up to a lot of important options for would-be parents. What baffles me about pro-lifers is that they assume so much. Just because one person's morals go against something, does that mean we all shouldn't do it? The reason that school prayer has failed in Congress for so long is that the government realizes one set of opinions or views cannot rule our country. The same is true of abortion. Just because pro-lifers would "never" choose to abort, does this mean that they don't deserve the right as good citizens of the United States to have the right to choose? Isn't freedom what this country is all about? I respect pro-lifers for their strong set of morals, however, I have found most to be full of contradictory ideas. How many call abortion murder and still go against typi­ cally pro-life ideals like not having sex before marriage and not using birth control? Doesn't spermicide kill sperm? How many pro-lifers support the death penalty and use pesticides in their gardens or flea-collars on their dogs? These things, however trivial, also end lives just like abortion. To say that these things are different is to imply that a human life is more precious than any other which goes against the whole pro-life concept. If you are against something because you think it's murder, be against all forms of murder. Let's not even get into the pro-lifers who storm abortion clinics and madly shoot everyone inside. I'm hoping these radicals don't truly represent the wishes of all pro-lifers. If you are going to be holier-than-thou, at least practice what you preach for God's sake. Let the rest of us learn from your example. So what can we all do to make sure we never have to face unwanted preg­ nancy and the possibility of abortion? Practice planned parenthood, use birth control every time, don't put yourself in the position not to be able to handle "accidents." Educate the children you do have so that they will be responsible. Don't condemn women who have abortions. Do whatever you can to make sure that those you love never have to face an unplanned pregnancy. Celebrate and respect life. Let's face the fact that although it is a pretty heinous procedure, abortion is a safe Angela Brady Editor-in-Chief John Lane Managing Editor John Nolte Columnist A terrible injustice has occurred, and we all helped bring it about. We hold gifted athletes in the highest re­ gard. We treat them like gods and overlook their short­ comings. We stand in line for their autographs and buy their products. We see them as somehow better than our­ selves, and when we hear that they have done something bad, we say, "No, tell us it isn't true!" because we need for it not to be true, lest we risk upsetting the perverted sense of importance we attach to our sports icons. O.J. Simpson will now have to live the rest of his life with the guilt of knowing what he did eating away at him. But that is far too small a price for him to pay for such brutal crimes. Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman died a more horrible death than any of us can imagine, and in the face of this, all their families could hope for was that the killer be brought to justice. Instead, the trial quickly turned into a joke, serving as a blatant and comprehensive illustration of all that is wrong with our judicial system. Although O.J. has now released a statement about find­ ing "the killer or killers who slaughtered Nicole and Mr. Goldman," the problem is that they don't exist. There was only a single set of bloody footprints leading from the vic­ tims to a back alley. The trail of bloody footprints and droplets then leads out of Nicole's back alley to O.J.'s Bronco, up the driveway and into the foyer of 360 Rockingham Drive, in Brentwood, California, where O.J lives, then into the shower and sink of his master bedroom. "There's no doubt the blood stains were O.J.'s. Absolutely no doubt," said Dr. Bruce Weir, a statistics and genetics professor at N.C. State University who spent three days testifying in June. "The odds on some of the stains (being someone else's blood) were one in several million or higher... but the jury chose to ignore all the DNA evidence." Why would they do this? Teresa Carpenter, a freelance journalist who spent countless hours studying the Simpson case, said months ago, "No one so cel­ ebrated and so beloved has ever been charged with such a crime. Is O.J. famous beyond accountabil­ ity? Is he like one of those Olym­ pian gods who periodically runs amok only to have their crimes for­ given as the foibles of the divine? In this case, reasonable doubt may simply be a straw that wavering jurors can clutch gratefully to let O.J. off the hook." Perhaps the saddest part of all, though, is that the warning signs were there for so long, yet no one acted on them. In 1986, nine days after Nicole and O.J.'s first child was born, police answered a call at the Simpson estate to find Nicole sitting on the hood of her car, the windshield having been shattered by O.J. with a baseball bat.

When you see smokers hanging out of their windows or bundled up outside of their dorms, don't laugh. For many smok­ ers, the new rules regulating smoking in dorms on campus has forced them to ex­ tremes. The new policy in dorms restricts smoking to the students' rooms with the door closed. Up until this year, you could smoke in the main lobbies of dorms, as well as in your rooms. This came in handy if you needed to study in the lobby and felt the need to smoke. It was also convenient if you had a non-smoking roommate, or if you simply didn't want your room smelling like a smokestack. The rule change came as a surprise to many smokers. Students weren't informed of this change until they moved in. Many smoking students may have chosen a dif­ ferent roommate or simply decided to live off-campus. Junior Catherine A. Tate of Boone says, "Last year my buddies and I would go downstairs to study. It was convenient that we could smoke in the lobby. It's ri­ diculous that we either have to go back to our rooms or go outside to smoke." Robert G. Kurfees, a freshman from Statesville, says, "They should have set up smoking sections in the lobbies ot dorms instead of prohibiting it all together." A lot of smokers have non-smoking roommates and are forced to smoke out of their windows. That is, if their room­ mate will let them. Amy L. Campbell, a non-smoking sophomore from Mars Hill wishes the school would have kept the same policy Rebecca A. Goza is often forced to smoke a cigarette while hanging out of her window. (Photo by Clay Barbour) Rebecca Goodhart Reporter Choosing a major or a career is a tough decision. There are so many choices out there that narrowing it down to one subject for the rest of your life sounds scary. In fact, it is scary - but don't worry. Appalachian offers resources like Peer Career to help you make these decisions. When you walk in the door at Peer Ca­ reer a friendly counselor greets you and asks you to fill out an intake form. Since the coun­ selors are volunteers and no appointments are necessary, a counselor looks up your intake form from then on and picks up where vou left off. Once the intake form is filled out, you and your counselor sit down and go through a four-step career decision-making process. At this point your counselor can decide if you are focused enough to move on the computer programs or if you need to explore your in­ terests more fully. The computer programs offered are Dis­ cover, Sigi Plus and Focus. Discover and Sigi give you an inventory and compile a list of occupations you're suited for based on your answers. If you don't go straight onto the computers, you might take a Self-Directed Search inventory which would help different aspects of your personality a: fields you would be comfortable in. L.

O.J.'s battering of Nicole went on, remained a hero , as he still does many people today. Five days bee her death, Nicole called a local tered women's shelter to say she s being stalked by O.J. and feared her life. Tom Soresen, in his Charlotte server column last Wednesday, has s to say: "On June 12,1994, Nicole hoice Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were murdered. They leave behind children and parents and friends and people who love them. But perhaps because they were murdered way back in the first quarter (of the game), we kind of forgot about them. Instead, we joked about Kato and screamed about Fuhrman and turned the trial into fodder for the tabloids and talk shows. We treated it as if it were a game. That haunting cry from that devastated woman (Ron Goldman's sister Kim, in the courtroom) is proof it was not." Mike Tyson received merely a slap on the wrist for his crime, but at least the jury admitted he was guilty. O.Ts crimes were far worse than Tyson's, and he should have paid for them. After wasting millions of dollars of the taxpayers' money on this facade of a trial, what has been gained? A guilty man walks free, to the cheers of mil­ lions of misguided people who seem to believe that he will now be scoring touchdowns for them next Sunday. The state of race relations in this coun­ try will get worse instead of better as a result of this verdict. And most of those people who already had little faith in the system now have none. they had last year. "That way, I wouldn't have to watch my room­ mate hang out of the window every night," says Campbell. However, not all non-smokers feel this way. Many non-smokers are happy about the new policy. They no longer have to put up with old cigarette butts in the potted trees and empty cans in dorm lobbies. Sophomore Amanda L. Saunders of Greensboro says, Tm glad they can't smoke down there anymore. The smoke always bothered me while I was studying down there." Is this discrimination? Some students think so. "Smokers' rights are being violated. The smoking policy (in dorms) shouldn't have been changed," said Brandi L. Arnold, a sophomore from Greens­ boro. Most students agree; while the main lobbies of most dorms aren't very warm during the winter, they are still a lot better than going out­ side in the bitter cold to smoke. Just wait until another Boone winter hits full-force and smokers, who can't smoke in their rooms, are forced to huddle up outside in blan­ kets to prevent frostbite.

The Ameri­ can people are the most compassion­ ate and tolerant people in the history of the world. Like slavery and the sub­ jugation of the American Indian, I have no doubt we will someday look back at abortion with the same revulsion. irfj In fact many students go to Peer Career to get help before choosing a major. "I had no idea what I wanted to major in, and Peer Career gave me some direction," said Marietta native Nicole E. Heiserman, a sophomore. Peer Career can also help you decide if the major you have chosen is right for you. Matt T. Hitchcock, a sopho­ more from Virginia Beach said, "Peer Career helped me realize that I needed to work more with people. After I went to Peer Career I changed my major from geology to communications." Peer Career has more to offer than its name might imply. It can help you decide on a major, choose a career plan for the future, and start you down the path toward your goal. It makes thinking about your future a little less scary and maybe a little more fun. The Appalachian welcomes any letters to the editor.

Appalachian jumped out early, scoring on its first four possessions keyed by the running of Gerard Q. Hardy (Cramerton, NC) and interceptions by .Matt B. Stevens (Chapel Hill, NC) and Jamie M. Coleman (Laurinburg, NC). t The Mountaineers took the opening kickoff and went 74 yards in nine plays. Hardy led the drive with a 41-yard run on second and six. Three plays later, Hardy took it in from three yards out and Appalachian took the lead 7-0. Following a stalled drive by the Paladins, Damon L. Scott (Cedar Grove, NC) took the first and 10 handoff and went 48 yards, putting the Moun­ taineers back in scoring position. Four plays later, Hardy passed to fresh­ man Frank E. Leatherwood (Clyde, NC) for the four-yard score. The lead increased to 14 points. Furman's next two possessions saw QB Braniff Bonaventure picked off by Stevens who took the ball 18 yards to the Paladin 33 and Coleman who got caught just short of the end zone at the three. The Apps did not waste any time as Hardy took the ball 30 yards on second down to the two yard line. Aldwin Lance (Shallotte, NC) rumbled in on the next play for the 210 lead. The second interception also led to a quick score as Scott scored his first TD of the game from three yards out, giving Appalachian the early 280 lead. However, the Mountaineers were not done, and on their first drive in the second quarter, Hardy took the ball around the left end for 62 yards and his second TD of the game. Furman, down 35-0 finally got on track as Josh Cole grabbed two passes for 36 yards and Mark Moore ran up the middle for 41 yards and the first Paladin score of the game. The score remained 35-7 at the intermission. Hardy led the Moun­ taineers with 138 yards rushing and three TD's, two rushing and one pass­ ing. The Mountaineers started the second half the way they have all sea­ son, giving up a score on the opening possession. This score, led by a 36yard Luther Broughton reception and Brandon Culpepper rushed 29 yards up the middle for the Paladins second TD of the game. The lead was now 35-14. After a 45-yard missed field goal by Jay S. Sutton (Wingate, NC) Furman took over and went 72 yards in 15 plays as Moore ran around the left end for the 13-yard score. Furman narrowed the lead to 35-21. But Appalachian moved the ball again, this time led by a 17-yard Kevin J. Burton (Columbia, SC) run and a 16-yard run by Hardy. The Mountain­ eers came away with a 37-yard field goal. Applachian led 38-21. Eight minutes later, the Mountaineers took over on downs at the Furman 25 and got another Sutton field goal, this one from 42 yards. The Apps led 41-21. With time running out in the game, Furman added another score, but it was too little too late, as the Mountaineers held on for the 41-28 victory.

The Lady Apps won the first two games fairly easy post­ ing scores of 15-10 and 15-3. The Lady Apps then dropped the third game 7-15 before fin­ ishing the match with a close 16-14 win. The team recorded some impressive of­ fensive statistics with a total of 52 kills and 16 blocks. The Mountaineers were led by junior April L. Sorrells of Hendersonville, NC and sophomore Erica J. Bahry of Etobicoke, Ontario with 16 kills apiece. Kathy E. Granack, a senior from Charlotte, had a game high 53 assists at setter. Senior Sheri L.

(Photo by Shane Richardson) FUR The Appalachian State field hockey team had a busy week taking on Radford on Oct.4 and Wake Forest on Oct. 5. The Lady Moun­ taineers showed signs of life but could not find a win, dropping their season record to 1-10. The game against Radford was a rematch of an early season Appalachian win and the Lady Mountaineers hoped to reap another vic­ toryagainstRadford. T h e Mountaineers captured their first win against Radford with a score of 2-1. "We didn't play as strongly as we did before and with Radford scoring early in the game, we got dissappointed," commented Head Assisant Coach Karen Poole. A senior from Barnsville, Maryland, Ingrid O. Stamberg, added,"We didn't start playing normally until the second half and by that time, it's too late." Radford scored both of their goals in the first half. The two goals were short corner shots. "The corner shots are a weakness that we need to work on," explained Coach Cathy Burleson. "We played uptight and played flat and couldn't get pumped up." Appalachian State had a total of 11 inside circle shots and 12 outside circle shots, while Radford had 13 and one. Stamberg got eight saves against Radford. However, the Lady Mountaineers could not hit the mark offensively and would have to settle for the 2-0 loss. The squad then traveled to Wa where they faced-off against the L cons. "We played well as a team. Wet up and played tough. Everyone got to play and did a good job," said S "The team knew this game was goin hard one, but everyone stuck it out at well." The Lady Mountaineers had against the Lady Deacons with Statu lecting 16 and freshman Kathryn P from Winston-Salem, saving three. 1* taineers took the Deacons for a ride £ them earn their win. "We had good and gave 100 percent. We kept our high and played both good defend fense," explained Poole. "Wake Fo scored two goals in the second half' not like them." Altough the Lady Apps kept go1 sive pressure, Wake Forest was still at duce enough offense to win by a sco "We played more relaxed than the game and played well," commented Poole also added, "This was a turn for the team and we are taking one I time. It's too bad it took this long d son to get everything together, but il playing like this and win the next fe we will do well in the Deep Soutr ment." "Hopefully the week rest will ke dies relaxed, like the Wake Forest g prepare them for the Louisville ga® up," explained Coach Burleson.

Appalachian State University, Boone, North Carolina, 28608 ;tober5,1995 Volume 70, Number 11 5 students withdrawn r lacking proper shots Jiee Cagle ff Writer Approximately 85 students were idrawn from Appalachian State University iuse they did not get the state required J iunizations. According to Registrar A. Brooks £od, his office printed a list of 115 students were not in compliance. Approximately >f those students were in compliance with state law but needed the tuberculin skin which is a requirement of Appalachian. | students were not withdrawn but rese ] 'ed a letter with instructions. s "The bulk of the students withdrawn e new for Fall 1995," said McLeod. These students were freshmen, transfers, and gradu­ ate students. According to McLeod, a student who has been withdrawn must get the proper shots. After this is done the student has to go to the infirmary and be put in their computer sys­ tem. The infirmary must give the student a note that needs to be taken to the registrar's office. The registrar will then put the student back into school. The student then gets a note from the registrar to show to his or her profes­ sors, which proves that the student has been readmitted. "I wish there was some other way to do it, " said McLeod. McLeod said that a lot of students have begun the readmittance process. "The numbers change everyday because students have made themselves in compliance," said McLeod. lien speaks about oping with change as key factors in developing businesses for the future.

This relocation will take approximately one to two years. Appalachian administrators started looking for a site for the greenhouse close to Rankin Science last year, but no space was found. The grounds department currently has two greenhouses and they are downsizing because of campus growth. Due to this downsizing, Jim Bryan, head of the grounds department, and the department itself suggested rebuilding the greenhouse at State Farm. "I think it's a positive move for the university," Bryan said. The biology department and faculty along with Betsy L. Cobb, manager of the greenhouse, will not move out of the green­ house on campus until the newly constructed one is complete. Cobb said there is a great need for the relocation to the new greenhouse. "It was an adequate design for a hobby type green­ house, but has always been inadequate for a research facility and because of space, the size of the collection is limited," Cobb said. With the size of the expansion and the new loca­ tion, the collection should have room for growth. Perennials, plants that come back each year, will be in the new greenhouse. More professional and research room will also be in the new greenhouse. Funding for the relocation of the greenhouse will come from the Annual Repair and Renovation Allocation Fund, allocated by the state legislature. The space left when the greenhouse is actually gone will not be another construc­ tiident attendance up at Cultural Affairs events The Performing Arts Series draws students for education, entertainment lany Lohman ws Editor fairs) are doing a better job of involving stu­ dents," said Weissberg.

According to Cobb, the biology de­ partment wants to have the space for contin­ ued vegetation. Cobb said problems with theft and vandalism have been occurring about once a semester at the on-campus greenhouse. At the State Farm facility, there will be a 12-foot fence surrounding the greenhouse. The uni­ versity hopes this will prevent the same thing from happening at the new location. The Biology Department, along with Cobb, would like to see the on-campus green­ house dismantled instead of demolished. Ap­ palachian has already had offers to purchase the greenhouse. The contracts for the new destina­ tion of the greenhouse were drawn up by Dayton T. Cole, university attorney. Cole pre­ pared documents to request permission to demolish the greenhouse on campus.

Chapell Wilson and Smith-Wright will soon begin to have elevators installed. Dr. Clyde D. Robbins, physi­ cal plant administrator, said $200,000 has been allocated for the projects. He said when the funds have been re­ leased, architects will be hired to be­ gin the official planning. This project was approved as part of the 1995-96 renovation allocation fund project, which is appropriated by the state leg­ islature. Every year a list of campus repairs and renovations are made. These are considered as possibilities for where the state money can be spent. This year, the elevator installa­ tions will take priority. Robbins expects the planning and designs to take about four months and hopes the actual construction will begin in April or May. Robbins said the project may be completed in Au­ gust of next year. The elevator installations were only one of 20 repairs and reno­ vations on the list. Other items include re-roofing Legends and replacing win­ dows in Chapell Wilson and I.G. Greer.

Decisive Quest is an elec­ tronic employment service that distrib­ utes student resumes to over 1,270 employers. Students' resumes are not only sent to large employers, but to many small employers around the country. To participate, a student needs only a computer with Microsoft Windows and a modem. Using the modem, students download the pro­ gram from Decisive Quest's World Wide Web Site on the Internet. Once downloaded, the stu­ dent uses the program to create a two page resume. The program asks the student about what type of job they want, their major, GPA, work experi­ ence and extracurricular activities. Students can also add up to 20 lines of additional text to explain additional facts about themselves. The student then sends their resume to Decisive Quest either by mail or by modem. When a company wishes to hire a student, they use the program to determine what type of student they are looking for. If a potential match is found, Decisive Quest contacts the stu­ dent and asks them for their permis­ sion to release their resume to the potential employer. No information is released to a company without the student's consent. Employment opportunities are not strictly limited to full-time employers. Decisive Quest also aids students in the search for internships, part-time employment or summer employment opportunities. However, the program does have several limitations. Unless the student is seeking employment in their home city or state, they cannot specify which region of the country they would like to work in. They are also unable to declare the exact date they wish to begin working. Decisive Quest is available at no cost to the student. Its operating expenses are paid by employers who use it to hire students. If you would like to partici­ pate in this program, you can access the Decisive Quest home page on the Internet World Wide Web.

Appalachian becomes more user- friendly Over the course of the last year, much has been done on Appalachian's campus to make its resources more "user friendly" and accessible to the disabled. From the obvious measures everyone notices down to the smaller ammenities which are not as easily recognizable, The Appalachian commends the uni­ versity on the measures it has taken to make the cam­ pus more accessible. This summer, work was done putting in curb cuts (small ramps from the street onto the sidewalks) around campus, two handicap- accessible ramps were put in at the child care center, additional signs marked in Braille were put up, as well as a host of other changes having been made to make this cam­ pus more "user friendly." Dr. Clyde D. Robbins of physical plant adminis­ tration, said these measures have been taken to help bring Appalachian up to the standards set by the American Disabilities Act. This act addresses things such as accessibility, restrooms and signage to make public facilities more accessible to the disabled. Curb cuts and ramps are obvious signs of the university's concern, which many students may have noticed. However, other things many students may not readily recognize have also been done. All the new residence halls, for instance, have room num­ bers not only stencilled in paint, but also put in Braille for the blind. Another symbol of the university's attention to this matter are the yellow strips which have just re­ cently been painted on the top and bottom of all out­ side stairways to let people know of the coming stairs. Many water fountains have been lowered, as well and several bathrooms which previously lacked handicap accessibility have been improved upon. The new addition to the student union, Robbins said, was in large part designed with these goals in mind. Ramps, curb cuts and elevators were auto­ matically figured in to the plans for the new part of the building, whereas when the .old.student union was built, there was a stairway but no elevator. The addition also has automatic doors for the disabledalthough these doors still are not completely func­ tional. The inside set of doors opens, but the outside set merely gives a small spasm before going back to its original position. This is one area which could definitely use some work. There is still a lot of work to do to get Appala­ chian up to the American Disability Act standard, but the fact that Appalachian is making a concerted ef­ fort is a great improvement in itself. Robbins said that every year, money is taken from the budget to accomplish more of these goals. All the improve­ ments cannot be done at once, however, due to the tremendous expense involved. So far, a lot has been accomplished, but accord­ ing to Robbins, "what remains are big ticket items." One such "big ticket" item is the elevator project. Elevators will be placed in Smith-Wright and Chapeli Wilson halls some time next year. The Appalachian commends the administration's efforts to comply with the American Disabilities Act, and urges them to keep up the good work.

I have been curious about this for two years. To find out, I asked students from the Black Student Asso­ ciation (BSA) and the APPS' Council for Cultural Aware­ ness (CCA) to meet with me for this article. In talking with them, I realized how easy it is to forget about black students' needs because of how small that population is. However, it is time for all students to realize that diversity is a vital part of the college experience, and unless things drastically change soon, we may lose the black population at Appalachian altogether. Let's face it folks. Boone doesn't really reflect the real world. The lack of diversity in the student body has led the administration to start taking steps to improve the situ­ ation. One example is the Office of Cultural Affairs bring­ ing up minority speakers and entertainment acts to help us broaden our awareness. The poet, bell hooks, coming to speak is a product of this effort. I applaud this kind of action, but what I'm worried about is how the black stu­ dents here are treated in the classroom and around Boone. A cultural event every now and then is good, but just not enough. Life extends beyond a two hour presentation in Farthing. Imagine what it must be like to walk to class each day and rarely see anyone who looks like you. You go to buy hair products and discover that they aren't available, even though that same store chain at home has lots of what you want. You get a zit you want to cover up and the depart­ ment store doesn't carry cosmetics in your skin color though the one at home does. The music store has a tiny selection of music in the catagory that you prefer. Sitting in class, you are targeted when racial issues come up as though you are an automatic authority on whatever topic it is. People constantly ask you if you are on a basketball schol­ arship even though you didn't come to school to play sports except on the weekend. Getting your hair cut and seeing people like you act in movies requires driving at least 35 miles into Wilkesboro. These are pretty typical situations that black students face. What may seem like a minor thing in the scope of a life can become a big problem. Take just a couple of those things and apply them to your life. Wouldn't it be terrible to have to go home every time you wanted some shampoo or needed a good haircut? Imagine wanting the new CD by your favorite group and not being able to buy it here. These are pretty minor things that can add up to make being a black student here extremely Junior Nakia Hardy said, "I think that a \ "6 lem is the fear that the Boone community h°tofli Appalachian student community.

Apathetic doesn't even describe how out of touch wean' comatose. Let's take a look at this year's Student Government Association (S ate election. While only 25 votes are needed to put a candidate in the senator, only 55 of a possible 77 senate seats were filled. The only people who have an excuse for their apathy are the ra Bowie Hall. Nobody from that hall even bothered to run, so how: vote? One might question whether these residents even knew ther' election. It's amazing that the 288 residents of Bowie do not yet have representative in SGA. And still, nearly three weeks after the election' from that hall has even gone by the SGA office and picked up a petit1 come a senator. All they would need is 100 signatures. However, a question whether a resident of Bowie Hall would even be able to ate 100 signatures if he left a petition in the lobby with a huge sign askirj to take two seconds of their time to sign it. Bowie Hall is a pillar of apathy. There should be a plaque plan that hall declaring them the ultimate symbol of an apathetic youth.' Another example of campus apathy is last years SGA president! It took only 12.5 percent of the student body to elect this year's SGA and Vice President, Darby Weaver and Robyn Martin. Logically, one f that possibly 87.5 percent didn't want them in office. (Using the same could also assume that since their opponents only received ten pero students votes, possibly 90 percent of the student body wanted Weave tin in.) see Apsth\ Artificial paradise in a pi Terry Butler Columnist In 1988, the Food and Drug Administration approved a drug for the alleviation of depression. This drug is called Prozac, or sometimes nicknamed the "happy pill." The "happy pill" has been the root of recent controversies sur­ rounding psychoactive drugs and just who these drugs should be prescribed to. Many psychiatrists, doctors and members of the general public have expressed worries about the growing number of people taking Prozac today. Another concern about Prozac is whether its users really suffer from the problems which the Food and Drug Ad­ ministration approved it as a treatment for. Originally, Prozac was developed for people suffering Angela Brady clinical depression and obsessive-compulsive disorders. Editor-in-Chief Prozac is only helpful to those who are serotonin deprived. Serotonin is a mood-altering chemical in the brain, and John Lane Prozac helps control the production of that chemical. But Managing Editor since entering the market, many doctors have begun pre­ scribing and many people have been using Prozac for far less serious problems. There are many questions concern­ Deanna Hall ing the safety of prescribing psychoactive drugs to people Business Manager who are not in danger of depression and can function well without the drug. Many users of Prozac suffer absolutely Tiffany Lohman Ken Larking News Editor Editorials Editor no mental illness and are simply looking for a personality enhancement. Some people also look to Prozac for help in smoothing out everyday problems in their lives. But those Allison Pennell Jason Wilkinson seeking instant happiness don't find it in Prozac, because Asst. News Editor Asst. Editorials Editor its effects are very gradual and can take up to four weeks to begin working. Clay Barbour Stephen Hensley Yet, medical doctors have been giving out Prozac as if Features Editor Sports Editor it were candy or aspirin. Many of these doctors are pre­ scribing the drug for unapproved uses, too. Some unap­ Richard Smith David Willis! proved uses are for relief or premenstrual syndrome, obe­ Asst. Features Editor Asst. Sports Editor sity, bulimia, and panic disorders. Although there are no proven cases of Prozac helping any of these problems, the doctors continue to give it out. Rhett Butler David Wainer Since all medical doctors can prescribe it, and even Photography Editor Chief Copy Editor most college counselors, the number of Prozac users now numbers at about 10 million. Of those 10 million users, Editorial Department 262-6233 or 262-3104 many are college students. Recent studies show that about 300 students were prescribed Prozac at Harvard Law School Advertising Department 262-2157 Production Department 262-6256 \ and in 1993, 10 percent of all students who came to the New York University counseling center were prescribed Prozac. But with the increasing awareness of the drug, the number of users only continues to rise. What many users of Prozac don't know or consider are the numerous side effects the drug can cause. Included in the side effects are: facial ticks, uncontrollable jerky movements or muscle spasms, nausea, insomnia, strange dreams, violence prone actions, loss of sex drive, and sui­ cidal tendencies. Even worse, recent research has shown that Prozac accelerates the growth of tumors in laboratory animals. Also, other long term effects of the drug might not be known for decades. ttrqmrt)But since too many psychiatrists are looking for a quick fix for prob­ lems, they forget that love and understanding are important in main­ taining sanity and the power to heal the mind lies in the person, not in a pill. Prozac is merely a stimulant that does not get to the root of the problems and is very dangerous when used over a long period of time. I, myself, had suf­ fered a low grade depres­ sion earlier this year and was prescribed Prozac to help cure my depression. In the four months I took the drug, my personality not only changed dra­ matically, but I suffered from chronic mood swings. I see-sawed from very depressed to ex­ tremely happy. No one ever knew what to ex­ pect of me and my moods. Eventually, I re­ alized that I had enough strength and people who loved me to get through my problems on my own, without a happy personality pill. Although Prozac seems helpful for those need the drug, it should not be used as a cur the numerous side effects, it could be very del one's health to use the drug unnecessarily. Tti Drug Administration should be doing their jot late what exactly Prozac is prescribed for. If> ally America will become a Prozac nation with having encapsulated happiness and pill-induj alities.

For example, new cars are marketed, new fashion is exhibited and new ways of living are introduced. One important thing is that every year the kids change. Think about it, not all kids grow up wanting to play ball and ride bikes. As a matter of fact, thousands of kids every year begin skateboarding, for fun or transportation. Skateboarding, a $150 million a year industry has be­ come a major part of popular culture. Not only does the industry generate millions in the United States and for­ eign economies, but in most major diverse cities, skate­ boarding brings together all different races. Skateboard­ ing is represented by African Americans, Asians, Hispanics, Europeans, Native Americans and whites. So what's so wrong with skateboarding? Boone and Appalachian State University administration and police are determined to make skateboarding illegal everywhere in the town and on campus. According to Ap­ palachian police skateboarders are a nuisance. I don't understand why skateboarders are treated the way they are by authorities. On several occasions, I've has steadily grown throughout my time here at Appalachian, but my last encounter with it pushed me over the edge. Anyone who knows me knows that I appreciate a good laugh just about more than everyone else in life. So, in hopes of having a few laughs and spending some quality time with my residents, I attended the Comic Strip Live last Thursday night at Leg­ ends. Twenty minutes into Bill Graber's headlining act, the lecture began. Graber announced to the au­ dience that he was gay.

I know there are a lot more things I could be doing right now besides skateboarding, like: drugs, vandalism, drinking and God only knows what else. What have we done as skateboarders to make people hate us so much? Rollerbladers certainly aren't treated by police the same as skaters. I couldn't see a family rollerblading in a parking lot being harassed by police. Just the other day, in the same parking lot where I was almost arrested for skateboarding, a girl was freely rollerblading while two policemen in cars watched. I ask Appalachian administration, why must skaters be penalized (confiscation of board, social probation) and not allowed to use our skateboards to get from point A to point B on campus? Appalachian police told me an eld­ erly women was hit in a skateboarding accident by a skater. So are they going to wait for someone to get hit by a biker or a rollerblader before those become illegal? I doubt it. In this crazy chaotic place we call earth, all we need are more laws telling us that we can't do what we love to do; sure, whatever. Keep rocking in the not so free world! Reality To the Editor: continued from page 4 I am writing in response to the Sept. 28 editorial entitled, "Why preachers resemble pro wrestlers." I have been reading The Appa­ lachian for four years now and have often been quite impressed by the professionalism the paper and its staff shows. I do believe The Appa­ lachian is a good source of informa­ tion for thestudent population of Ap­ palachian State. Unfortunately, my trust in this paper's objectivity was destroyed af­ ter reading the previous editorial. I thought The Appalachian's editori­ als were for confronting issues that mattered on campus. Instead it seems that your staff likes to bash established religion and the major­ ity of people on this campus that sup­ port this institution. 1 believe myself to be an open-minded individual, and I even found some humorous com­ ments in the "wrestling" editorial. Sadly though, I feel that the edi­ torial staff, especially Jason Wilkinson, needs to focus on impor­ tant campus issues and not personal biases. Maybe Mr. Wilkinson should try going to church, possibly a nondenominational one, and see what he is missing. I implore the entire edi­ torial staff of The Appalachian to work harder to find more meaning­ ful editorials to publish. Max D. Scroggs Jr. ASU Box 5866 the real world. In college we are pre­ paring ourselves for life on the out­ side. How well will we function un­ less we are exposed to the kinds of people and issues that are prevalent everywhere else? The last thing Boone needs is to lose the black students. "It's about more than numbers," Hardy said. "The administration is doing some things to help us out, but they have miles and miles to go." One suggestion that the students I talked with have is that there needs to be an increase in minority faculty. "It is important tosee black profession­ als who have your same upbringing and have been through the same things as you so you can have some­ one to look up to," junior Michelle D. Simmons said. All students would benefit from a more diverse group of professors. When we get out into the world we will have to work with all sorts of people and this kind of expo­ sure would help us learn how to do so. One place blacks are not neces­ sarily ignored is in the classroom. "When there's a group of [black stu­ dents] the professor looks to you like you're the authority [on racial issues]. Sometimes you know and sometimes you don't, but it's not right to target students," sophomore Christian S. Braxton said. I've been in classes where this has occurred. An example is a professor talking about civil rights and turning to the black student to ask if he has a comment. Fernando G. Little, a sophomore and president of the CCA, brought up the lack of entertainment being brought up here by black artists. "Just because [we] are looking to bring Af­ rican American artists up here doesn't mean that we would be the only ones to benefit from it." He is right on tar­ get. It has been shown that whites support black artists just as much as blacks do. So why is there so little variety in black music in our stores? Why hasn't there been a big black act showcased on campus? The answer is money. Until music promoters and retailers realize that they are missing out on potential profit, we are going to lack these things. "The greek shops don't sell black paraphernalia. You can get things specially made, but they aren't regular items," senior Stacy M. Price told me. Here again we see how the black population is overlooked. Outside of the classroom, Boone is just not a very positive place for black students. "People are afraid to say it, they just want to push it aside. It's not an ideal community, you can't go to get hair products... that you can find everywhere else. They may have one product, like bump fighter razors for black men, but they don't even have pomade grease (a very popular hair product)," senior Wayne A. Pol­ lock said. If it were shaving cream that shops did carry and hairspray that they did not, I'm sure things would be dif- |)o you agree with the O.J.verdict? •Students are asked whether they agree with the jury agree with the ardict.

"The Boone community has done absolutely nothing to welcome the African American students on this campus," Hardy told me. I see bla­ tant evidence of this everywhere. "I only feel comfortable in Boone as far as spirituality goes," Simmons said. I can see that the only welcome black students get comes from the numerous churches in the area. It's a poor effort. Why is it that Boone resi­ dents will willingly worship with blacks, but when they see them in the mall they clutch their purses a little tighter and lock their car doors when seeing blacks on the street? I thought the Golden Rule was supposed to ap­ ply to all people. I urge all students on this cam­ pus to wake up and realize that the changes the black students need re­ quire involvement from everyone. "Because we are such a small popula­ tion we cannot do everything for our­ selves. It's gonna take everybody to have some kind of turnaround to change the atmosphere on this cam­ pus," Simmons explained. So what can you do? Take Black Literature. Attend BSA events. Go to the CCA parties and dances. Appreci­ ate the fact that the black students who have chosen to come here are making a big effort to do so. It is extremely difficult to be a minority (in the literal sense) in any situation. The least we can all do is try to make it a little easier. Apathy continued from page 4 Also, only 3,431 students voted on the Appalachian Community Environ­ mental Stewardship (ACES) fee, which was inarguably the biggest issue on campus last year. I voted on both of these issues. It took me all of five min­ utes. My voice was heard, and it made a difference. Maybe those of you who didn't vote last year, or haven't voted yet this year, figure that what you have to say won't make a difference. I have news for you. Last year's SGA accomplished many things. They passed a resolution to support charg­ ing faculty and staff for use of the Quinn Center last spring, and as a re­ sult, this year, faculty and staff are being charged for these facilities. Also, SGA was responsible for many cam­ pus events, including Homecoming, the Fall Block Party, Mountaineer Es­ cort, and safety forums to name a few. A few years ago, Appalachian stu­ dents rallyed against the Student Ac­ tivities Center, and were successful. The student body could be a force to be reckoned with on this campus if only they would get behind their SGA or get involved in some other way. As editor of the Editorials page of The Appalachian, I am responsible for handling letters to the editor. I have been amazed by the lack of concern on campus. So far; this year, we have only received 24 letters to the editor. That's less than .0002 percent of the student body. Every student on cam­ pus has the right to send in a letter to the editor. Surely you have an opin­ ion about something. Write us. Tell us about it. It will make a difference. I challenge any resident from Bowie Hall to send in a letter to the editor by next Monday, just to see how apathetic you really are. To make it easier for you I will tell you how to do it. Send letters to The Appalachian at ASU Box 9025 or by e-mail at TheApp@conrad.appstate.edu. �Scenes from the dustbowl Richard Smith Assistant Features Editor The room is almost completely black as you walk over a web of cables and wires across the floor. There are voices yelling and the smell of freshly cut wood is in the air. Above the chaos, there is a room lit only by dim blue light where focused people move amid blinking control panels that resemble the inside of the space shuttle. There is also another room filled with people tirelessly sewing and stitching pieces of cloth, much like a turn-of-the-century sweat shop. This is not a surreal dream .. . this is reality. For "The Grapes of Wrath," all this and more has been going on in preparation for the production, which is now showing at Valborg Theater. For every element of this and any play from construction, to costumes, to lighting, there is a world of detail and teamwork that the average audience member never knows about, but still gets to enjoy. This type of dedication and hard work from the Department of Theater and Dance is what makes "The Grapes of Wrath" and other plays so special. The Tony Award-winning adaptation of John Steinbeck's novel follows the Joad family on their journey from the dust bowl of Oklahoma across the country to California. Ma Joad, played by junior Patty L. Cook of Statesville, N.C., is determined to keep the family together while contending with the volatile young Tom Joad, played by Peter J. Finnegan, a junior from Charlotte, N.C. Steinbeck wrote the novel around the theme that we are always stronger to­ gether than alone, a theme reflected by all those who have been working together to present this play at Appalachian. "This type of production requires a creative team," says Linda Welden, professor of perfor­ mance of literature and the play's director. Rehearsals have been running from 6-11 p.m. every day in preparation for this production, which Welden specifically chose last fall (with depart­ mental approval) because of the emphasis on the group dynamic. "The total experience," Welden says, "is greater than one's own." One cast member, J. David Brown (Uncle John), a senior from Mount Olive, N.C. has been helping out in the costume department about three hours a day. "You do what you can do," he says while putting the finishing touches on one of the outfits to be worn in the play. The process of costume assembly begins up to a year ahead of time with drawing preliminary sketches, getting fabric swatches, and then actually assembling pieces. Senior Amy L. Harrison, a theater education major, describes behind-the-scenes work as "putting together a puzzle. You get to see the whole effect of the process." Another element of the show many people aren't fully aware of is the lighting, but that is how it should be, according to Frank Mohler, the lighting director for this play. "Hopefully the audience won't be thinking about what I'm doing," says Mohler, who has been involved with theater since 1959. The lighting booth directly above and behind the audience houses mixing boards with over 200 computer-programmable dimmers. Since all these dimmers would be impossible to work by hand, lighting changes are done with the press of a button. There are over 150 lights mounted in the theater, and even more have been hung specifically for this show. All lighting and sound cues (computer samples) are on a log following the action of the play. Students run the lights and sound effects during the show, and always have the option of going to manual operation to match a change in the action's tempo. The lights for this produc­ tion are suggestive of the time of day (or night), and are even used to create the effect of water. For one such scene, a river is created not only by lighting, but also by dancers moving cloth over a specially constructed area of the stage. This is an example of several departments com­ ing together for an element of the play: lighting, dance, costumes, and production. see Dustbowl page 8 Appalachian students prepare for one of Steinbeck's best ::x, : >Sr' Matt J.

He was In fact, some of the materials led out of the site are up to 11,500 i s old. The site, according to Whyte, I used by migratory hunters and erers, who probably came to this n during the fall of the year. The istoric hunters and gatherers Id come during the fall for the ing. "The deer were fatter, turwere around, and nuts were on pound, so it was a good time for n e people to come," says Whyte. fl When most students think about I aeology, visions of Indiana Jones, H whip and all, come to mind. "It's jl Kcusable ignorance," says Whyte. I >t people don't take archaeology I gh school, so most of what they II comes from history classes and R tedia." As a result, students learn jflit major societies like Mipotamia and Egypt, while re• ing ignorant of the history that 'J iunds them.

Many people mistake these for arrowheads, which are smaller and have stems, (photo by Ken Larking) a bounty of information about our past. These sites also provide a great source of education for students. A brief look at the site generates many questions. The depth of the dig is only about 30 cm deep. The fact that there have not been any major Hayes Site predate pottery, most of what Whyte and his students have found are stone objects. Due to the acidic nature of the soil in this region, human remains cannot be retrieved. "Things such as bones simply decom­ pose in the soil around here," says Whyte. But, the site has pro­ vided thousands of stone flakes, which are chips detached while making tools, and spearheads. Ironically, according to Whyte, most people who find spear­ heads, mistake them for arrow­ heads. A good indicator is spearheads often have a tail, while arrowheads do not. The Hayes Site's time is running out. The land has a new owner, who will be build­ ing on it soon. But this does not bother Whyte as much as one would think. "Sites have to be destroyed. We can't preserve all of the past forever," says Whyte. He is just happy to have had the time to discover what the site had to offer. Whyte warns that the Hayes Site is on private prop­ erty, so not everyone is allowed to just walk up and start dig­ ging. "I want people to under­ stand that it isn't right to dis­ turb it. You could destroy what we have worked hard to accom­ plish," says Whyte. So the next time you see a movie about archaeology, re­ member the many archaeolo­ gists who are discovering the secrets of the past right in your back yard - literally.

Sigma Kappa �The Appalachian 5 Page 8 Dustbowl continued from page 6 Curtooiis The production department has built a deck for 'The Grapes of Wrath" out of wood beams that covers the entire stage. This was done to give a more rustic effect, since much of the play takes place in the dustbowl of Oklahoma across the United States to California. Besides being rustic, the deck also has practical uses. For example, a camp fire in the play is represented by a trap door cut out of the deck that houses a miniature fan, a light, and strips of multicolored silk. All this was built into the deck by the production department... four times. Four times? This is so that each time there would be a scene with a camp fire, the actors don't have to go to the exact same spot of the stage. This attention to detail and hard work is nothing new for the production department. "Everyone has been going at it together and piece by piece," says Matt N. Scialdone, a junior from Charlotte who is one of several production assistants. Matt and the rest of the production department have also put together a threedimensional replica truck that has to support 11 people (that's over half a ton of weight!). The truck is made mainly out of wood and is pulled along the stage by 340 feet of rope along specially constructed tracks. Casters for the truck were shipped especially from Florida State to ensure the highest quality at the most affordable cost. Everything for the truck was built from the ground up by students all for something that will be used a total of around 20 minutes in the play. Now that's attention to detail. Another example of attention to detail would be the firearms . . . actual guns that will be fired during the play (using blank ammunition, of course). Not to worry — the weapons are cleaned, inspected, and stored securely by Marc A. Hurst, the special effects technician and a theater major from Orlando, Fla. Marc hands the actor the prop at the beginning of the scene and the actor hands it back to Marc when the scene is over. This is one of the things that is coordinated by C. Bradley Fairbanks, stage manager for "The Grapes of Wrath." Fairbanks is a senior theater major from Jacksonville, N.C. who got into theater for the excitement. He says, "Nothing compares to the adrenaline rush when you hear 'places for top of act one!"' Fairbanks also says that it is "great to be part of an ensemble like this because, like the story, the struggle of the group can make magic." This sort of magic happens not only in "The Grapes of Wrath," but in most every theater production. Behind the action, there is always a group of dedi­ cated, hard-working people that come together for all the audience gets to enjoy. You can enjoy the results of these people's efforts by getting your tickets from the Valborg Theater box office located on the back of Chapell Wilson from 2 to 5 p. m. during box office hours. Tickets are $3 for students, $5 for nonstudents and have been selling fast, so don't miss your chance to see this excit­ ing production.

Tech Matt McKenzie Reporter I The Appalachian State men's and women's cross country team competed last Saturday in meets across the Southeast. The men's team placed 15th of 27 at the Auburn Invitational in Auburn, Alabama, while the women's team placed 5th of 6 in the Virginia Tech Invitational in Blacksburg, Va. The Lady Mountaineers, now 612, had a score of 113. Wake Forest, who is in the top five in the nation, won the race with a score of 18. Texas A8tM, currently in the top 15, was second with 68. They were fol­ lowed by East Carolina, host Virginia Tech, Appalachian State and East Tennessee State. Christina R. Olson was the top Appalachian State runner, finishing 8th with a time of 18:44. Jenny A.Chase placed 24th, followed by Corie E. Fuchs and Jannica M. Hjertman, who placed 27th and 28th. "It was a great course and hard, so not many people are going to run fast times on it. The competi­ tion was excellent," said coach John T. Weaver. The freshman runners also came through for the Lady Mountaineers. "Two of our freshmen girls really ran well and are beginning to develop. Our top four also ran well, but a couple of girls had a bad day also," said Weaver. The Furman Invitational is the next challenge for the Lady Harriers on October 14 in Greenville, S.C. 'This will be our first chance to run against Furman, who is the defend­ ing conference champion, and we are running well so I'm really looking for­ ward to it," said Weaver. The Auburn Invitational was the largest cross country meet in the Southeast, with many nationally ranked teams running. "I thought our guys recorded their times very well against the nation's best," said coach Mike Curcio. The Mountaineers were hoping to finish in the top half, but lightning struck twice. When the race began, Appalachian State's top runner Tommy Holland got crowded on the first turn and lost his shoe. It put him so far behind, he was forced to drop out. Then Ian T. Finn had to drop out because he was diagnosed with mononucleosis. John Austin will move up to take his place. "Those two factors just killed us," said Curcio. Seth J, Peoples was the first Mountaineer to cross the line with a time of 25:00 and finished 9th. Chris D. Huffstickler and Will R. Dickerson both ran personal bests in the meet. The meet was won by Air Force Academy followed by North Carolina, Alabama, Southern Illinois and James Madison. The men's team has a big event at the National Invitational in Univer­ sity Park, Pa coming up on Oct. 14. "This gives us a chance to run against more nationally ranked teams. I'm sure we'll be double-knotting our shoes there," said Curcio.

Then con­ demn companies which pay millions for endorsements (and if this is the argument, don't forget that other en­ tertainers get rewarded, too). Com­ plain that our values insist these men and women, whose only advantage in life is that their bodies are stronger and faster and more coordinated than most, be held in such esteem. In an Utopian society, these over­ paid athletes would band together and tell us, "We've decided to take a pay cut, across the board. Just give us about 15% of what we've been earn­ ing. That's plenty. Then there will be more money for education and health and the thousand other things that are lacking. Sound good?" As a matter of fact, that does. But would Demi Moore ($12 million for the upcoming "Scarlet Letter") or Pearl Jam (comparable millions for their last tour) do that?

Scandals at the North Carolina School le Arts and at UNC-Chapel Hill have ted this new consideration. According to an article in The Win6 pm- Salem Journal, the scandal at the N.C. 3 pm- ol of the Arts surfaced in July when a er student filed a lawsuit against the ol and two of its dance instructors. The i at 265-! ;nt alleged that one of the teachers had -ed him when he was 16 and that the other ler had encouraged the affair. The stualleged that the teachers had ruined his e career. According to Catherine L. Wilkinson, of Appalachian State University's faculty te and head catalog librarian, the probt UNC-Chapel Hill existed between a fac­ ulty member and a graduate student whom he had as a mistress. The graduate student went to conferences with him and her travel money was paid by grants. "The Board of Governors issued a fact finding request about amorous relationships on campus," said Dr. Peter W. Petschauer, head of Faculty Assembly and Appalachian history professor. All chancellors in the North Caro­ lina system are to report back to them by Oct. 31 regarding how their faculty senates feel about the issue. Wilkinson said Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski asked for consensus about the policy from the chair of faculty senate, the president of staff council, and president of the Student Government Association. The Appalachian faculty handbook has a statement which addresses professional ethics and relationships, said Wilkinson. She said it does not talk about consensual relation­ ships, but it does discuss sexual harassment. "Something needs to be added,' said Wilkinson. "It is unsufficient." The staff handbook does not include anything about relationships, said Amy B. Winebarger, president of staff council. "It does have a component on sexual harassment, but it does not address consensual relationships," said Winebarger. The university does not have an ex­ plicit definition and it is only implied in the faculty handbook, she said. "In the long run it would probably help everybody and safeguard them in certain situations," said Winebarger. She feels if power is involved in the relationship, it should remain professional. Wilkinson said the faculty generally feels that a relationship between a professor and student in his class or between an assis­ tant should be banned. The disagreement oc­ curs when the relationship involves a profes­ sor and any student on campus. One concern about the issue is tak­ ing advantage of the student, said Wilkinson. She said it may be hard to tell if the student is really agreeing or if he is afraid to do other­ wise because of lack of support in class.

(Photo by Robert Parriott) vPPalachian Family Weekend activities at Appala­ chian State University drew a large crowd of prospective students for campus tours and the football game last weekend. "It was one of the largest crowds we've ever had,"said T. Joseph Watts, director of admissions. "Farthing Auditorium was packed for our information session." Mark R. Dreibelbis, assistant athletic director, approximately 16,000 people attended Saturday's game against East Tennessee State University. Prospective students and their fami­ lies were invited to attend an information ses­ sion, a barbecue dinner, a computing work­ shop, residence hall open houses, an informa­ tion fair and the football game. "This (family weekend) is something that answers all their questions," said Darcy A. Hull, president of Student Ambassadors. The Ambassadors are responsible for conduct­ ing tours and answering questions about Ap­ palachian. Hull estimated that each of the 38 Ambassadors conducted five tours. "It makes a big difference when they (students considering Appalachian) hear about Appalachian from other students," said Hull. "We do a great job of convincing them to come here." Laurie Lyda Reporter Hiition increases and graduation re­ quirements are two phrases that can strike fear into the heart of any college student. The Ap­ palachian Academic Advising Center is on hand to help prevent the stressing of your nervous system and your bank account. The advising process begins during orientation as freshmen plan their first semes­ ter at Appalachian. The usual plan is for the orientation advisor to continue advising those students throughout their time in general stud­ ies. For those students whose advisors do change, a new advisor is assigned within two weeks of the fall semester. This additional guidance will be es­ pecially helpful as students are faced with a 25 percent tuition increase when they exceed the 128 hours allowed to obtain a four-year degree. According to Carter Hammett-McGary, assistant director for academic advising, Ap­ palachian has no exceptions to the maximum hour programs for each degree-granting col­ lege. The maximum hour allowance for double majors is still being researched and no ruling has been made. According to Hammett-McGary, be­ ginning in January, once a student attains 30 hours (including freshman English credit) and has a 2.0 grade point average, they may de­ clare their major. The student then fills out an official form to have their files moved to the college of their major. Once core requirements have been reviewed for completion, the folder will be sent to the dean of the college who then sends it on to your major department who will assign you an advisor. In the last year of study, the dean of the college will do a degree check to make sure all graduation requirements are met. Each full-time advisor handles 350400 cases and sees each of those students at least once a semester. "We are looking for ways to cut down on caseloads and provide the services that stu­ dents need," said Hammett-McGary. "It is our goal for each full-time advisor to have 300 stu­ dents." To help students choose their career path, the advising center has a "Developmen­ tal Intrusive Approach" which is used in con­ junction with Peer Career and the Learning Assistance Program. "We want to make it so they [stu­ dents] are making better decisions up front," said Hammett-McGary. "We also have the University Advis­ ing Council which is a working group of people whose intent is to improve advising across cam­ pus," said Hammett-McGary. The Council is made up of a representative from general stud­ ies, admissions, the registrar, each degreegranting college and the school of music. The council meets once a month to talk about new academic procedures, review old ones and come up with new ideas. Hammett-McGary said it is also im­ portant for students to understand their new academic world and be able to plan their col­ lege careers to their best personal advantage. "I feel that students should be taught how to figure their grade point average so they can see where they are now and where they want to go," said junior Karen E. Parker of Cherryville. Hammett-McGary also said that students should read the notes in the registra­ tion bulletins and become familiar with the Appalachian Bulletin Catalog. Hammett-McGary said that any stu­ dents interested in these and other skills, such as the art of efficiently managing hours, should suggest a program to their Resident Assistant. The advising center is also able to help Appa­ lachian students understand and access the academic resources available on campus. Index Page 2... News. New state budget affects local governments.

The issue of city planning has become a hot topic around Boone since the town, as well as the univer­ sity, is growing . Some residents are concerned that Boone is getting to big Pete Abernathy Reporter The Appalachian State Uni­ versity Local Government Alumni As­ sociation had its third annual meet­ ing at the Quality Inn in Boone on Fri­ day to discuss the effects of the new state budget on local governments. Some of the noteable speak­ ers in attendance were Rep. Betsy Cochran, Rep. John Weatherly and Special Assistant to Govenor Hun' Steve Metcalf. Metcalf, as well a: many of the other conference atten dants, is a graduate of Appalachian . Cochran addressed the issue of annexation in small communities. Cochran also gave some of her own ideas about how to keep the smaller communities in our state from losing the charm that attracts people to them. "I do not think what is hap­ pening here in Boone is too wonder­ ful," said Cochran. "I would encour­ age all city planners to keep the charm of their small towns that attracted for its own good. Weatherly, who has constitu­ ents in Cleveland County, addressed the issues of how the state budget was divided among state and local govern­ ments and to programs sponsored by Potential impact of Congressional budget action on North Carolina • reduction of medical services to children • loss of state jobs • loss of local government jobs • reduction of local sales tax • reduction in instructional/educational services • reduction in long term care services for the elderly • increased demand on public sector for services • reduction of housing assistance for the poor • reduction in nutritional services to children Dating the state. According to Weatherly the state is going to cut taxes, but this raises the concerns of some local gov­ ernment leaders that they will be forced to be the bad guys because they will be forced to raise taxes. Julie Anne Wray, a junior from Shelby, N.C. commented on what Weatherly had to say. "I'm from Shelby, and I have learned a lot about how state and local government works in Cleveland County. I especially liked hearing Rep. Weatherly speak, since he is from Cleveland County, he had some great ideas about how to make our local governments run a lot smoother." Cochran added that the state of education in North Carolina schools was encouraging. "I have never been so encour­ aged about the chance for improve­ ment in North Carolina public schools as I am right now," Cochran said.

The person with more power or in a higher position of control will often have the advantage, said Petschauer. The senates of each school in the North Carolina system and the Faculty Assembly will draft a statement of general principles by Oct. 31. The senates who do not reply will be pun­ ished by not having any input in the policy. UNC Attorney Dick Robinson will analyze the policy to see how it fits into things like tenure and due process. "It all has to work together," said Petschauer. News Appalachina's immunity expert speaks to Olympic panel Dr. David Nieman, Appala­ chian State University professor and immune system expert, discussed his exercise and immunity research at the Third IOC World Congress on Sport Sciences in Atlanta Sept. 20. This international congress meets prior to each Olympics in the host city as a forum to share the most recent scientific knowledge and ideas in the sports sciences field, to pro­ mote continued research and to strengthen the link between the world scientific community and the Olympics. It was sponsored by the IOC Medical Commission, ParkeDavis, The Adanta Committee foe the Olympic Games and the U.S. Olym­ pic Committee. As one of the three invited speakers in the biological sciences section, Nieman presented "Excersise and Immunology," the results of his on-going studies of how excercise affects athletes' health and perfor­ mance. His research has concluded that athletes are at risk for upperrespiratory infections during heavy training periods and the first two weeks after marathon-type race events. Although more studies are needed to determine how and why heavy exercise suppresses the im­ mune system, Nieman cautions ath­ letes to practice good hygiene to lower their risk for infection and to avoid heavy exertion during an ill­ ness.

What if the only sched­ uled thing to do was to live your life unscheduled, un­ planned and totally spontaneous. These days, I think calendars and all of the other stuff have become too important. No longer is there a "live by the seat of your pants" type attitude. Perhaps life has be­ come too focused. People no longer live day by day, rather it's half-hour by half-hour. Planners are now such a large part of people's ability to cope with reality that they would literally be lost without one. What if, for just one day, people took their planners, calendars, and daily routines and stuffed them under their bed? Seriously, when was the last time vou heard or said "Yeah, what the hell, you only live once"? Sure, you have probably said it, but did you truly mean it? Think about the absolute true meaning of "you only live once." Wow! Soak life up, people, don't sit around planning for it! Okay, what if you did something totally out of char­ acter, something definitely not "you," only for the sheer concept of spontaneity? This vacation from the reality of your identity is not so difficult to take, and at times it can see spontaneous page 4 What was his platform stand on Medicare? The platform issues are out there, and politicians want to stress those. The media picked up on those goals and wanted to inform the public of them. The public, how­ ever, wants to know who harassed whom and how their home life was as a child. People say they are fed up with negative ads and want them to stop, but the vicious cycle that brought them to such prominence is in full force; they will be hard to stop. People think poorly of politicians who run them, but the negative ads are the ones remembered. The more they are recalled, the more the public comes to believe them, and in turn think worse of politicians. They are like a bad habit and the public has to have its fix. It's time for the public to own up to their own faults. People listen selectively and what excites them catches their ears. Americans are more than happy to point out the dirt under politicians' fingernails, but they don't notice the full slice of mud pie they just ordered hanging off their lips. Now the question is: will you be having dessert? H ^ 8 1 ~'M&8&8B8BtigGi Eliminate the |Pell Grant p John Nolte Columnist The Pell Grant needs to be eliminated. Just as this welfare-like handout is the perfect symbol of what is wrong in our society, its voluntary elimination would sym­ bolize a society that has gotten a grip on itself and be­ come more considerate of others. Welfare is welfare. The work-capable single mother sitting at home in an Oprah-coma, the large company getting tax subsidies, and the healthy able-bodied student on the Pell Grant all contribute to an immoral tax burden paid by the work­ ing class. The Pell Grant should be turned into the Pell Loan "so no one is denied access to tuition and at the same time this ridiculous and indefensible give-away program is killed. I would like to know who thought the Ameri­ can people were so undertaxed that we should give away college educationsas though Constitutionally mandated. The same goals can be achieved with loans. Making our youngest and healthiest citizens pay back tuition money is not only fair but a healthy responsible message. I'm not claiming the moral high ground here. Trust me, a few years ago if given an opportunity to get free money from the government I'd have been the most shameless one in the room. But Tm told that at one time in this country charity was a last resort and that people actually took pride in doing things on their own. Todayit seems to be the complete opposite. We grow up be­ lieving the government owes us something. The sellers of this snake oil are the out of touch. They consist of politicians and bureaucrats empowered by government dependence, college students who have yet to have their paychecks mugged, academics who are really just col lege students with stricter attendance policies, union workers who blackmail companies with demands that exclude the poor from purchasing their overpriced goods and celebrities who are not affected by taxes. Regard less of intentions these people have no idea what it's like out there in the real world. I spent eight years of my adult life in the heart of Milwaukee's inner-city struggling with the rest of the working class to eek out a living. These are not "the rich." They are just the nine-to-fivers who have to work until May just to pay their year's tax' s, and thus meet the demands of an increasingly imperialistic government and lazy misguided individuals, like my former self, who think they're entitled to what they didn't earn.

We simply need to realize our full potential best usage of all that we have: the world's most diverse p0pul N dance of natural resources, and a truly democratic form of governitl Jay Marlowe Columnist A recent essay on the opinion page of USA Today argues for bringing back the draft, saying a spell of compulsory government service is "just what today's young folks need." This ludicrous and unfounded statement prompted me to draft an editorial in response, something I guess they wouldn't expect from a Generation X-ER. Would reinstituting the draft really strengthen our country and help our young people build character? No. First, the mili­ tary is not good for everyone, and it shouldn't be. Many people do not need or desire it. Second, what are the chances of . the United States ever needing to institute is a wonderful place to live; why else would everyone want to • disadvantaged and disparaged people the world over, this is the Witness the constant, sometimes uncontrollable, flood of imm Pr| country And yet, we would choose to continue flaunting our nyvN in the face of this?

The only things American soldiers have been used for since World War II is fighting in places like South Korea or Vietnam where everyone hates them, or in ridiculous cam­ paigns such as Grenada and Panama, occasionally protecting our oil supply in the Gulf region and serving as targets for rebels while providing humanitarian aid in places like Somalia. The United States is not in a vulnerable position, in a military sense. We are being crushed, however, by the weight of our huge national debt and a multitude of serious problems concerning education, or the lack thereof. Japan has not gained so much worldwide power and prestige by way of military might. Instead, it has profited from sound economic policy, devotion Spontaneous continued from page 3 even be fun. People seem to underrate the beauty of spontaneity. Spontaneity is a tool that can open doors for you. So now, you're probably getting a little scared of this "live by your seat" thing anyway. AH HA! Many worthwhile things are attained by risks. The first step you took as a child was a huge risk. You could have tripped into the corner of the couch and suffered brain damage for the rest of your life. But you didn't suffer brain damage, and now you walk like a pro! The same thing goes for riding a bike, swim­ ming, and skiing. Hey, I bet your first kiss was a risk and now look at how orally talented you are. So here's my point - the next time you want that outfit but really "shouldn't" buy it- do it anyway, you deserve it! The next time you want to ,e'A| V call him or her, hey, AT&T goes both ways, pick up the phone! The next time everyone is going camping but you have a test the next day, I guaran­ tee the books will still be there! The next time you look in the mir­ ror and need a "change," invest in some good ole' cheap spontaneity. I guarantee you'll at least have some good juicy stories. Spontaneity is nothing to push away or cross off, it is something to be sucked up and en­ joyed. So live by the seat of your pants, take that crazy road trip you have only dreamed about, heck, call up your parents and tell them you love them. You only have a short while. Make the most of it while you can, for tomorrow may be full of regret for the risks you didn't take today.

Besides being used as bait for the oppo­ site sex, dogs are often used as spare partners for games of frisbee. Face it, dogs are such a part of campus life, they are almost mascots. Everyone seems to know, or at least recognize, some of the dogs on the Mall. In fact, anyone could tell you which dogs are regulars on cam­ pus and which ones are just there for a brief visit. Dogs provide a homey and laid-back at­ mosphere for all to enjoy. "There is nothing better than sitting on the Mall between classes smoking and watch­ ing the dogs," says Charlotte native sophomore Brian C. Carpenter. "With­ out dogs, the Mall would lack person­ ality." Like a close-knit group of friends, the dogs always seem ready to play with one another.

Since the demise of such entities like the the Beatles and Fleetwood Mac, few artists have dis­ played the strength, the talent, and the will to compose a work worth more than a couple of radio-friendly singles. Nowadays it seems that only the most determined artists have enough to say and enough originality with which to say it. To avoid falling into the abyss full of redundant and untalented "radio pied pipers," such as Hootie, Dave Matthews and Spin Doc­ tors, the music of today needs to fol­ low the redeeming qualities of the ex­ ceptions to the mold... your R.E.M.'s, your Fleetwood Mac's, your Sting's, and your Jude Cole's. Jude Cole? Yes, Jude Cole. Similar to albums like "Drive," "Rumours," and "Ten Summoner's Tales," Cole's recently released "I Don't Know Why I Act This Way" not only shows an understanding of the concept of an album (rather than for the concept of putting out two catchy tunes sandwiched between eight or nine intolerable fillers), it treats us to about an hour's worth of memorable, well-written music. Some people say that a good art­ ist borrows, but a great artist steals. With this effort, Jude Cole falls into the category of the latter. Upon lis­ tening to songs like "Move if You're Goin'," "Heaven's Last Attempt," and 'Joe," it becomes apparent that Cole is not simply paying interest on a sound that Blues Traveler, Cat Stevens, and James Taylor lent him; he picked their pockets clean. With a voice that is a cross between Lenny Kravitz (with­ out the tendency to say "baby" after every other word) and Matthew Sweet, Cole holds the listener's atten­ tion from start to finish. "The first time I gave it a listen, I 'was just going to hear a few songs to see if I had gotten my money's worth. But I ended up listening to the whole album," said freshman Matt Q. Thackston. brings back the art of an album 'Seven' is to die Cole Rich with themes dealing with salvation, the rat race of life, religion, love and inspiration, "I Don't Know Why 1 Act This Way" gives a series of tales that provoke emotion and capti­ vate the listener as if they were straight from the vault of the Brothers Grimm. On 'Joe" Cole sings, "1 go to church on Sunday morning/ come home and beat my wife/ my name is Joe, and you know me/ I've lived here all my life/ what a life." While reflecting on many of the societal attitudes promi­ nent today, Cole displays an innate ability for song writing that's almost as bold and poetic as that of Michael Stipe or Sting. Cole's album is a hauntingly beautiful collection of songs. Thanks to the pulse Cole's heartfelt poetry gives each song, the listener is forced to sing along. While Cole may not be as well known as say Sting, he more than holds his own when it comes to poetry placed to music.

Assistant Sports Editor The Mountaineer football team utilized a fourth quarter comeback on Saturday to squeek out a 30-23 win over East Tennessee State. Before the game, ASU head coach Jerry Moore stated, "This game marks the first of eight tough battles in the run for a league championship. We know we have to be ready each and every week, despite the records, the rankings, and the expectations." Appalachian proved to be ready, scoring 17 consecutive points in the second half, after being down 23-13 late in the third quarter. A six yard touchdown catch by Jeff Vollmer knot­ ted the score at 23 all and Carlos Horton ran it in from two yards out to give ASU their first lead of the day. The Buccaneer's final drive was stopped short by a Dexter Coakley inter­ ception on third down and 18 as the Moun­ taineers remained perfect on the season. The Mountaineers got off to a slow start as ETSU jumped out on the first possession of the game. Keyed by a 29-yard reception by freshman Edward Swint, the Buccaneers came away with a 48-yard Jerry Chapman field goal. The 3-0 lead was the first time this year that ASU had been behind. Two possessions later, a partially blocked punt gave ETSU good field position at the Mountaineer 46. Six plays later Chapman got his second field goal of the day, this one 32 yards. Down 6-0 the Mountaineers came back, with their first extended drive of the day. Led by Otis Smith's two catches and the running of Damon Scott, ASU got its first points off a 33-yard Jay Sutton field goal. The Buccaneers came back with the passing of Greg Ryan and receiveing of B.J. Adigun. ETSU moved the ball 69 yards in five plays, highlighted by a 23-yard Adigun touch­ down catch to give the Bucs a 13-3 lead. The Bucs would score again after a 32yard interception return by Derek Fudge gave ETSU great field position. Two plays later, Adigun scored his second TD on a 15-yard grab, putting the Bucs up 20-3. However, the Mountaineers fought back. Led by the passing of Scott Satterfield and a bevy of receivers, the Apps went 71 yards on six plays, including a 28-yard touchdown catch During the intermission, the Apps re­ grouped and came out to dominate the sec­ ond half. The Mountaineer offense scored its third field goal of the day on a 27-yarder by Sutton. The Apps moved the ball the length of the field with the running of Satterfield. The Bucs came right back however and scored their only points of the second half on a 47-yard Chapman field goal. The lead was once again stretched to 10. That lead proved to be short lived as the Mountaineers scored on another Sutton kick, this time from 32 yards out to cut the lead to 23-16. The Mountaineer defense took over the rest of the game, giving up only one more first down to the Buccaneers. The App offense also came alive in the fourth quarter after an interception by Clarence Sutton. The Mountaineers moved the ball 50 yards on nine plays finishing with a touchdown by Vollmer. The lead was now gone as the Apps tied the score. After a three and out by the Bucs, Appalachian's offense moved the ball again. Led by Aldwin Lance and Horton, the Apps went 53 yards on 11 piays, including Horton's two-yard run. The Mountaineers held on to the 30-23 lead and improved to 4-0 on the year, while the Buccaneers fell to 0-5. Appalachian's defense was led by Joe DiBernardo with 10 tackles and Coakley with an interception and a forced fumble. The defense held ETSU to just 93 second half yards, including six in rushing. The Buc­ caneers were held to just 40 yards rushing on the game. The Mountaineer offense was led by the passing of Satterfield, who had his best game of the year 20-36-2 for 239 yards. The offense also ran for 186 yards through the com­ bined running of the entire backfield. The Mountaineers proved worthy of their number two national ranking, by pulling out the come from behind win on a day that they did not play very well. "We just have to prepare ourselves for a battle every Saturday the rest of the way, no let downs, no lapses," added Moore. The Apps will continue their quest, trav­ eling to Greenville, SC next Saturday to take on Furman. Game time is set for 1:30.

(Photo by Rheti, Ladies take runner-up at Charlestc Mike Daniels Reporter The Appalachian State women's volleyball team extended their winning streak to 11 in a row before losing to UNC-Greensboro in the finals of the College of Charleston tournament. The win on Thursday against East Tennesse State, plus the 4-1 record in the tournament, brought the Lady Apps record to 11-8 overall and 3-0 in the conference. First up for the Mountaineers was East Tennesse State last Thursday at home. The Lady Apps won in straight sets 3-0 and were sparked by a 10-point run in the final game. A key factor for the Mountaineers in this game was the fact that starter Miriam Sealey was unable to play due to her shoulder injury. The team showed it could still play impressively without one of its leaders. Coach Dave Markland called the match "another big win."

I I I LONE WOLF Which NBA rookie of the 199394 season was the only first-year player to tally a triple-double? BRUISIN' AND CRUISIN' The $12,000 preseason fine im­ posed upon Pittsburgh Steeler Greg Lloyd for striking QB Brett Favre in the chin with his helmet was probably fair punishment. Players grumble about the fact that offensive players seem to have more of a blanket of protection, but penalizing some late hits is necesssary. Never mind that Favre him­ self admitted that he would have been high-fiving Lloyd for the hit, had they been teammates. Lloyd has criticized the NFL for being two-faced about big hits. The league gives penalties and fines, but also gains more revenue by putting together videos of these plays. Yeah, two-faced, and with two fists - two fists full of money.

The owners and top administrators are going to make money in whatever way they can man­ age without arousing too much oppo­ sition (prid sometimes in spite of). And the league's multiple personalities are beyond reach, if not above reproach. Remember that Uoyd is a man who, upon seeing that New York Jet receiver A] Toon had been knocked cold during a 1990 game, rolled atop Toon and counted him out like a WCW ref.

Though both teams had their share of shot opportunities, the Eagles were able to make the most of theirs, winning 3-0. The loss marked the first conference loss of the season for the Mountaineers and the first loss in history to Georgia Southern. The defeat dropped Appalachian's season record to an even .500 at 5-5. "We need to get more leadership from our nine seniors," Mountaineer Coach Art Rex said. "We can still win the conference. The opportunity is still there. We just have to win out the rest of our games." Georgia Southern got things go­ ing at the 44:41 mark of the first half as Noel Kierans found the back of the net off a pass from Pat Parris. The goal would be the only score of the half for either team. In the second half, the same pair of Eagles teamed up for a goal. This time, Parris was on the recieving end of a Kierans pass that resulted in a shot from 18 yards out. The goal put Geor­ gia Southern ahead 2-0 in the 68th minute. Freshman Jason Russell closed the Eagle scoring with a score at the 75 minute mark. The Mountaineers were not able to muster a goal, but were able to get off 12 shots compared to 13 for GSU. Jay Lane and Ryan Anderson took two shots apiece. Chad Hawley had three saves in goal. Next up for the Apps will be a Wednesday, Oct. 4 appointment with Southern Conference rival Furman.

The Lady Mountaineer soccer team found themselves in a shoot out Wednesday as they took on the Lady Wildcats of Davidson. The teams were knotted up at two goals apiece at the end of regulation before Davidson was able to pull away to a 4-2 over­ time win. Davidson's Claudia Lombard scored the only goal of the first half at the 26:26 mark. Appalachian did not respond until the 74th minute, as Brooke Satterfield evened the count with a goal. Davidson was able to recapture the lead at the 85:00 minute mark when Lucia Plosseris shot found the net, giving the Lady Wildcats a 2-1 advantage. The Lady Mountaineers were not done, though, and kept the pressure up. In the waning moments of regu­ lation, confusion in front of the Davidson goal got the best of the Davidson keeper who knocked the ball into her own goal.

Appalachian's lone goal came from the foot of Brooke Satterfield in the 16th minute of the first half. The volley to the left side gave the Lady Mountaineers a 1-0 lead that they would carry to halftime. Farrell O'Quinn assisted on the score. The Lady Seahawks were only able to come up with four shots on goal in the second half but two found the back of the net, giving UNC-W a 2-1 advantage. Katy Shearon took three of the team's four shots after the break and scored both of the Lady Seahawk goals. Appalachian stayed active in the second half, producing eight shots on goal, but the team was not able to capitalize. The final score stood 2-1 UNC-W.

Suzanne Carter Reporter One main objective of the Mountain AIDS Support Council (M.A.S.C.) is to increase knowledge of AIDS on the Appalachian cam­ pus. "AIDS is a universial problem and everyone needs to be informed of its damage," said Dori Gold, program coordinator of M.A.S.C. "It's not just a one person disease, it is everyone's concern and people need to be educated on how to prevent AIDS from spread­ ing." M.A.S.C. is a non-profit, service or­ ganization dedicated to improving the quality of life of those affected by HIV and AIDS, and to educating the community about HIV and AIDS. M.A.S.C., which was originally founded in conjunction with the Winston-Sa­ lem AIDS Task Force, educates members of the community about AIDS, how it is transmitted, and forms a support circle for those who have AIDS or are close to someone who does. M.A.S.C. is working on an open house for middle or late October, where information and people will be waiting for those interested in helping with or being helped by the organi­ zation. "College students think they can't get it (AIDS)," said Cassandra Hauser, a stu­ dent with a family membr suffering from AIDS. "Students seem to be naive about pro­ tecting themselves and others from this dis­ ease. It's here, we shouldn't ignore it. We need more education about AIDS on campus." According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, HIV and AIDS can be prevented through methods of safe sex, such as absteinence or using a condom with non-oxynol 9 spermicide. HIV and AIDS can be prevented by not sharing needles through tatooing, body piercing or drug use. HIV and AIDS can be prevented by avoiding the ex­ change of body fluids such as infected blood, semen or other bodily secretions. People can not contact HIV or AIDS through casual contact, such as kissing, hand­ shaking or using the same dishes as someone who is infected. According to Appalachian Physican Dr. Patricia Geiger, anonymous and confiden­ tial HIV testing is given through the infirmary every two weeks by Becky Green, a Watauga Health Department Health Educator. Green, a member of the M.A.S.C. Board of Directors, will be returning to ASU's infirmary for free HIV testing on Oct. 10. Stu­ dents must call and schedule an appointment with the infirmary's appointment secretary for testing. An end to the mile- long drop/add line Pamela Griffin Reporter Appalachian State University has been using the Telephone Registration System (TRS) for students to register for classes, drop and add classes, and determine grades since spring of 1995. Although many other universities, such as UNC-Chapel Hill and NC State, have been using the TRS for years, Appalachian has only used the system for the past two semes­ ters, making the switch from computer ori­ ented registration and long drop/add lines, to simple registration by phone. Don Rankins, associate registrar, said he has heard only positive comments, and throughout the whole registration process has received only one complaint. That complaint was because there were not enough openings available for a particular section to accomodate all students needing the class. "I have to believe the system is very productive in handling registration, since we've had the second largest freshman class enroll­ ment, the biggest on-campus enrollment, and with all of the calls have been able to handle over 4,000 students in registration and 9,000 in drop/add," Rankins said. Whereas in the past, students have had to wait for hours in the drop/add line, the^ are now able to call from their residence hall, apartment, or off-campus home to change their schedules. Whereas in the past, students have had to wait for hours in the drop/add line, they are now able to call from their residence hall, apartment, or off- campus home to change their schedules. A help line is also available in which an operator can dial a student into the sys­ tem. "It is nice to not have to stand in line," said senior Sally Hoover. "I have always got­ ten through and I have also been able to get the classes I needed." Sophomore Paul Mortenson agrees that the TRS is more effective than the com­ puter system. "I think it's great because it's so convenient. It was such a pain to have to wait in line. Being able to sign up for classes from my own apartment saved me alot of time and sress." Holly Taylor, senior, enjoys the con­ venience of the TRS, but said she was a little concerned that freshmen may have difficulty understanding the process. "I had trouble at first figuring out my pin number and advisor number," said Tif­ fany Harvey, "but after reading the insructions more carefully, I understood how everything worked." According to Rankins, one of the main concerns when the computer system was in use was that off-campus students and those who commute had to come on campus to change their schedules and register. Now those students are able to simply call from see End page 2 PPalachian is published with support from Appalachian's Center for Student Involvement and Leadership.

According to Robyn Martin, SGA vice president, eight seats have not been filled. Three of the seats are offcampus positions but are open to any­ one who wants to apply. "The seats are open on a first come, first serve basis," said Martin. Students interested in becoming sena­ tors need to pick up a petition, which requires a minimum of 100 signatures. Students must also have a GPA of at least 2.2 and be a resident of the hall they are representing. The senate is made up of 39 offcampus, 38 on-campus senators and 12 cabinet members. Each residence hall is represented by two senators. There are currently two available seats in Cone, one at Appalachian Heights, one in Justice and one in Coltrane.

The adult students are happy with the TRS, saying it facilitated more convenient registration. Professors are excited about the TRS, as well. "Being out of state, I think the TRS is extremely efficient," said Lynn Cable Wilson, a professor in the education department. "I've had a lot of success with it." The orientation staff and advisors who work directly with the students have reported all positive feedback from the students, said Rankins. The Ambassadors and Peer Leaders say the TRS is definitely an asset. "Because we have had such positive results and everyone is excited about the TRS," said Rankins, "we have looked for other obvious ways to use the TRS. We will begin using it for students to obtain information on the grade system, financial aid, and from the cashier's office." Rankins said students will soon be able to find out the kind of financial aid they are receiving and their tuition due through the system. Freshmen, get involved writing for The Appalachian.

Generation X is so tired of being made into a spectacle that to include the term in a title would seem too "mainstream." Would you have read this article if it was titled "Generation X: Coping With TV Apathy?" Genera­ tion X doesn't go for sellouts. Who are these Generation Xers? We are just trying to define and look out for ourselves in a world that holds hands with the past as it embraces the future. We want the best without trying to have it all — leave that to the baby boomers. Any channel-surfing of the 6:30 news will bring a plethora of topics with which we may choose to interest ourselves. Nowadays, there are topics that qualify as both grave concerns and deep mysteries. Take, for example, such world news as Bosnia, the middle east, or Russia. Not many people can tell you who is fighting whom, nor that it matters to them. This is not to say that these issues aren't serious, but how do they affect my age group? They don't. Don't feel bad if you can't give the ideology of a Serbian, Palestinian, or Yeltsin. The Gen X consensus is that the different warring tribes have hated each other for so many centuries that no amount of American intellectualizing will ever have any serious effect. As far as we're concerned, just let them duke it out and save us the money and trouble. So what about the home front? We've got politics, money, and anything else the press thinks is news. These issues are rich with complexities, and volumes have al­ ready been written about them. But what's in it for me? Less than you may think. It seems that politics is one big popularity contest that has to do more with how someone appears than what they actually stand for.

Have you already forgot­ ten that Satterfield is fourth on Appalachian's all-time list for most yards in a single season and is currendy eighth on the list for career yardage? Have you already forgotten that just two weeks ago Satterfield was the Southern Conference player of the week when he headed the Mountain­ eer victory over Wake Forest? Now you want to replace him and mess up what this team has worked so hard to es­ tablish - WHAT? Please Mr. Willis, let's show some respect for our athletes. We are tired of your criticism. All of the athletes on this football team, as well as on all the other teams at Appalachian, have worked hard to represent our school. Each one of them has earned a posi­ tion on their team and deserve respect. Jennifer Burleson ASU Box 15812 Protecting pornography To the Editor: I couldn't agree more with Steven Mackay that, as reprehensible as it is, pornography is protected under the First Amendment. I also agree that putting pornography on the same level with rape is ridiculous, and it trivializes the real tragedy of sexual violence. However, perhaps Mr. Mackay should spend some time living life as a woman does before he starts pass­ ing judgments on how certain things should affect her. Maybe Mr. Mackay would be "driven to tears by a picture of Cindy Crawford or a copy of 'Play­ boy" " as well, if every time he saw one he was reminded, as women are, that his worth is judged on his physical appearance. Perhaps he is not aware of the disorder anorexia in which a person, usually a female, literally starves herself to death trying to at­ tain "the look" of Cindy Crawford. Maybe Mr. Mackay isn't aware of the high percentage of 13-year old girls who are already dieting because soci­ ety has socialized them to believe they must be skinny to be happy. Maybe he doesn't know that 75 to 80 percent of women under 30 feel they have not succeeded at fulfilling society's expec­ tations. They feel guilt and shame, thinking they have not worked hard enough to make themselves into society's ideal of physical beauty. Women spend their lives trying to achieve a look that isn't even real. Maybe next time Mr. Mackay sees an air-brushed waif of a model on her hands and knees on the cover of a magazine, he will understand a little better why it drives some women to tears.

Her work at the conference is important to women faculty and stu­ dents here: she devoted her time to networking with women scientists, engineers, and technicians from around the world and has brought back invaluable materials to our cam­ pus as a result of her trip to China.

To the Editor: As a student here at Appalachian, my expectation for the future is a job. I will be paid for the work I do as well as for the knowledge base acquired through my education. I have to question the reasoning of the recent decision and subsequent article "Faculty forced to pay own way." Why? Historically, students would pay professors to pass along knowledge and expertise. It is not the faculty's job to pay us. Faculty already have to pay to come to work through parking fees. Perhaps they should pay rent on the classrooms in which they teach. Given the current political climate in Raleigh, the mean-spirited decision to make faculty pay fees to use the Quinn Center and other facilities can only create animosity and low morale. Budget cuts have reached everyone. However, this student's fees were not lowered as a result of faculty being "Forced to pay own way."

Interest rates and oil prices do actually have a direct effect on our wallets, but to take the time and listen to them be explained is sim­ ply not as interesting as what's in Judge Lance Ito's mystery envelope. Generation X, along with most of the country, needs that quick fix of enter­ tainment in two seconds or less before we click that remote. Let's pretend for a moment that something like oil prices, interest rates, or economic implications of Japan's earthquake received equal time in the media with O.J., sports strikes, and Rush Limbaugh. Assuming that all these topics would have equal audi­ ences, with equal attention and thought paid to them, what would the result be? Would there be outrage at the OPEC monopoly, the Federal Reserve's power, or a record-level trade deficit? If so, would the urge be strong enough to do something other than just gripe? Some people think so, but hey, this is a only a hypothetical situa­ tion, remember? Oh yeah, one more thing about some of Generation X: big on apathy. Just who is to blame for the apa­ thy is not clear. Are our parents guilty for feeding us materialistic values while planting us in front of the tele­ vision as a substitute for real guidance? Or maybe they just wanted us to have it better than they had, and thus bruised our work ethic. Are older gen­ erations to blame because they have made their way into positions of power along with their outdated notions of morality and priority? Or is Gen X to blame; unaware of the world, uninvolved in democracy, and addicted to television? If you've read this far, you obviously care, so don't give up hope. It must be the media.

Only perverts see sex in Disney To the Editor: This is in response to Ken Larking's "Disney: More than meets the eye?". Well, I don't think so, or else it depends on who's eye we are talk­ ing about. Was Ken Larking watching out of sheer boredom, LOOKING for these sexual innuendoes? That's what it sounds like to me. I think he was looking way too much into these mov­ ies. Let me start with "Pocahontas." Yes, the movie did stir up quite a bit of hoopla from the media and history buffs, but from what source does Lark­ ing gather that Pocahontas was 13 when she became involved with John Smith? Smith wrote three accounts of his encounter with Pocahontas, dur­ ing all of which she was at a different age, and one at which she was be­ tween the ages of 18 and 21. A rather large debate could arise as to which account Disney based this movie on. And where does Larking get these sexual hints in "The Lion King"? For someone to see "sex" in a dust cloud, they would have to play the tape in slow motion or pause it, if it's even there. Fve seen "The Lion King" three times, and Fve never caught it. Also, while I can see someone maybe find­ ing a gay relationship between Pumbaa and Timon (emphasis on the maybe), I think the general consensus of all the fans is that they are BUDDIES — life-long FRIENDS. Not an unusual characteristic of Disney movies. Does this mean Jacques and Dusty ("Lady and the Tramp") were gay? What about Gus and Jack (the mice) in "Cinderella"? Flotsam and Jetsam ("The Little Mermaid")? Of course, I won't forget the obvious intercourse between Simba and Nala. It's not like real lions roll around and play like that without sexual contact. On to The Little Mermaid". What Larking gets out of the phrase "Dar­ ling it's better down where it's wetter," is ridiculous. Listen to the rest of the song. Sebastian is singing about the OCEAN! You know, where they lived. Correct me if I'm wrong, but most oceans are wet, last time I heard. What about the obvious orgy go­ ing on in the seven dwarfs' cottage? The "bestiality" in "Beauty and the Beast"? Did it ever occur to this guy that Disney didn't write half of the fairy tales it bases its movies on? And Pinnochio's sexually intuitive nose? Was it Disney's idea to make it grow when he "lied"? It is Disney's job to glamourize our everyday fairy tales so that they are more entertaining for children. Even if it does mean making Belle, Ariel, Jasmine, and Pocahontas applicable for the "All-Time Hottest Babes List." Big breasts, small waists, and long legs are most attractive to people thanks to society, not Disney. I don't deny that Disney's goal is to make money. That's a logical as­ sumption. What are the goals of Para­ mount, MGM/UA, 20th Century Fox, etc.? I also agree that little kids will definitely not see the sexual things you speak of in Disney movies and I seri­ ously doubt the parents will, either. I mean, come on: who really looks for dust cloud symbols when there's a stampede going on? I can't under­ stand how anybody who watches a movie for simply that purpose can see a broom as a phallic symbol or look for minute details like a minister's erection. That article is either a case of boredom, or the need for an edito­ rial to fill page space, because I be­ lieve that the only adults that look for sex in Disney movies are perverts. Save yourself the strain and go watch a porno. Let Disney fans enjoy the innocence of these cartoons. Kelly McLaughlin ASU Box 12130 Preachers continued from page 4 in Texas. Both fervently believe their sect is the superior, and discussion is usually as hard as trying to do a flip off the top rope. Though this one is a bit more of a reach, both pro-wrestling and religion have a focal area: the ring for wres­ tling and the church for evangelism (and some religions). When two wres­ tlers are outside of the ring, the rules don't really apply in the same way. The referee generally ignores the whole thing as long as they come back in the ring by a certain time. Neither wrestling nor evangelism is much fun, unless you sort of sus­ pend disbelief. Many people don't look hard enough to see that it is something of an act, while others know the big guys aren't really hitting one another, but somehow manage to ignore it. It seems to me anyone paying close at­ tention to most evangelists would also notice it was a bit odd. And perhaps there is something to be learned from those who hate the bad wrestler or Satan the most. Per­ haps, in envisioning the worst evil imaginable and fearing this horrible, encompassing darkness comes from a place inside the person. The more someone yells at that wrestler that just hit his hero with a chair, the more dia­ bolical Satan is depicted, perhaps there exists the audience most like the nemesis.

Admittedly this is not the usual prac­ tice of a college freshman, but then again, 33-year-old Bumgardner is not your usual student. Long before most "traditional" students roll out of bed and begin to complain about their 9 a.m. class, Bumgardner has prepared dinner (to be heated up later), taken the kids to school and reviewed material for her upcoming classes. It's a sight that is becoming more and more prevalent in our country: older students returning to school. Once upon a time people went from high school to college, then married and had children - just like clock­ work. However, with the changing demands placed on people in today's society, many are now forced to take one step back in order to go forward. Bumgardner is one of the 1100 or so "non-traditional" students, defined as students 25 and older, who have decided to abandon the workforce and take that step back at Appalachian. As one would suspect, the demands faced by older students returning to school are quite different from those faced by "traditional" students. While most "traditional" students rush to class everyday worrying about friends, parties and their place in the social hierarchy, the older students find themselves dealing with a set of entirely different problems. Many of these problems are stress related -- caused by the anxiety that comes with quitting a job and returning to school. "Most 'traditional' students work, but they work to support their social life. Older students are dealing with basic survival," says Happy Austin, the adult students' ad­ visor. According to Austin, many returning students are faced with serious anxieties over their financial situation and child care. Although it is not true of all "traditional" students, most do have someone to rely on. The same is not usually true for older students. Financial problems aside, schoolwork often presents a problem for returning students. Senior Frank Carey, a 31-year-old theater technology major from New York says, turning to school, one has to won­ "At first it took me a while to get into the swing of things, der why so many people are doing but now I'm used to it." it.

"I had reached as high as my education could take me. Other people were getting the pro­ motions, so I took a long, hard look at my situ­ ation and decided to go back to school," said Driggers. Appalachian Junior Art Beroth, 32, a com­ munications major from Winston-Salem, came back to school for similar reasons. After high school, Beroth worked in a travel agency for five years. He then moved on to Piedmont Airlines, which later became U.S. Air. Beroth noticed a pattern developing in both jobs. "Those who had degrees got the promotions and raises," says Beroth. After realizing this, the decision to return to school was not hard. "I just decided that I didn't want to work at a computer terminal for the rest of my life. So, I came back to school," said Beroth. Carey was in much the same position as Driggers and Beroth.

Most students have limited contact with members of the ROTC, which leads to many stereotypes. Usually students either remem ber just their high school JROTC or only know them as the peace-keepers at football games. The underlying attitude toward the ROTC is often one of dislike. In fact, many students view the ROTC as a bunch of gun-wielding barbarians. However, the goal of the ROTC program is not teaching to "go for the kill," but how to become a well-rounded individual. The ROTC program stresses a "whole person" concept. As staff member Cpt. Brian Lugenbeel puts it, "We emphasize that the military is only one part of your life and that education is the most important thing. We believe that our students should be educated socially and academically, as well as in a military fashion." Lugenbeel goes on to say, "Outside of these uniforms we lead normal lives." Cadet Battalion Leader Evan Smith, a se­ nior from Burke, Va., says that through the ROTC, "I've learned about myself, dealing with other people, leadership and managing my time." Cadet Cpl. Josh Davis, a sophomore ffom Fayetteville, says, "I think the ROTC helps my grades, because the more I have to do, the more I have to plan." The ROTC program also appeals to older students who have already been enlisted in the Army. Cadet First Sergeant, Major War­ ren Bowen, a junior from Richmond, Ky., spent four years active duty in the U.S. Army. He now maintains a 3.8 g.p.a. as a criminal jus­ tice major. Bowen says, "ROTC provides time management skills. It helps to prioritize what is important." Some of the ROTC's upcoming events in­ clude going to the Watauga Gun Club on Oct. 5 to fire M-16's, and going to Banner Elk on Oct. 7 for rappelling and basic rock climbing. Members of Appalachian's ROTC program prepare for a field trip exercise at the New River. (Photo by the ROTC departmentj On Oct. 15, eight people are going to Wash­ ington, DC. to participate in the Army's10-mile run. From Oct. 27-29, two teams are going to Ft. Jackson, SC, for a Ranger Challenge com­ petition, which is a physical fitness event rec­ ognized as a varsity sport on campus. They are also attending a field training exercise in Ft. Bragg for three days, where they will train in land navigation and rifles. It is a confidence/ obstacle course. In order to become involved in the ROTC, all you have to do is sign up for Military Sci­ ence I in your freshman year. The only require­ ment is that you attend class. Military Science I and II may also be taken simultaneously during your sophomore year. There are no obligations to join the Army after signing up for your whole freshman and sophomore years.

"After a point, I realized the roadblocks were limiting me and that it was time to make a change," says Carey. However, it would be unfair to place all returning students into this category. Some older students come back for the personal satisfaction it gives them. Bumgardner graduated high school and got married. "I just had no interest in college back then," says Bumgardner. But after raising five kids (a task which is not over by any means), she decided to come back to school because, as she says, "It just became important to me to get a de­ gree." When asked to describe the ma­ jor differences between them and their younger counterparts, older students tend to agree that social pressures and determination are the only major dif­ ferences, besides age. "Often young people see their so­ cial life as paramount, but as an older student you're better able to sit back and concentrate on what you are here for - an education," says Turnquist. "Adult students are nsnaHv mnrp focused," says Driggers. He attributes this focus to older students' paying for their own education. Also, because of their age, older students often feel like they can't afford to waste time. Unlike most younger students, the non-traditional" students seem to have very little trouble establishing a rapport with their professors. As one would suspect, the diminished, and sometimes non-existent, age gap helps the older students in this area. "The only problem I have is when a teacher says, 'Wait until you get into the real world.' Well, I've been there," says 30year-old Senior Nixie Chiofalo. Most adult students tend to agree that the entire school experience has been a positive one. Turnquist says he highly recommends returning to school, and he points out that students who finish school now should plan on going back to school at some point. "With the way things are getting out there now, you had better plan on tak­ ing a year off and getting a refresher in your major, because sooner or later you will need it," says Tltrnquist. So the next time you reach over and hit the snooze button early in the morning, remember Bumgardner and the 1100 other "non-traditional" stu­ dents like her, who have probably done a whole day's work by the time you reach the shower. They may be older, but that's not stopping them. Lustre continued from page 6 ment drummer was ejected and the original Shiner lineup was restored with Clayton back behind the drums. At this point, Shiner was being eaten alive with offers from labels. Late in the year, they were preparing to sign with Epic when A&M records threw their hat in the ring. The band backed off to look closer at both la­ bels, because as Marley said, it was "a mighty big decision." Around the turn of the year, the band was forced to change tneirname to Lustre. It was also at this time that they decided to go with the smaller, more appealing A&M record labeL The new year began with Lustre touring and preparing to record their debut album. They knocked the al­ bum out in three weeks, with produc­ tion wrapping up in June, and re­ leased a split single the month before featuring the song "Junior." Opportunity knocked again for the band shortly after the recording. A&M was preparing work on the soundtrack for the film "Empire Records" and offered Lustre a slot on it. The band presented the song "Nice Overalls" to the soundtrack's produc­ ers, who accepted it. The soundtrack is out now, featuring such bands as Gin Blossoms, the Cranberries, Cracker and Better Than Ezra. This brings us to the present. Lustre has completed a seven-date, nine-day-long tour, which precedes an opening gig with Babes In Toyland. They recently released anew single on Cargo records. Still in the works for the band are a tour with Urge Over­ kill and a possible slot on an AC/DC tribute album. Their debut album will be out in February 1996. Lustre is a band with influences as diverse as the Mice and AG/DC, which reflects in their sound. The most prominent features of the music are its infectious pop quality and its distortion-laden groove. Marley de­ scribed the group's sound as "very ra­ dio friendly. It's a sound that a lot of people like." Clayton continued with this by saying, "We're having fun play­ ing the songs we've come up with so far. Once we come up with a finished thing, like our album, we're real proud of it." Dedication to their music, their fans and their showmanship: these factors are the ones that will launch Lustre from local recognition into the stratosphere. "It's going to be fun to see how the outcome of everything is four or five years from now," says Marley.

After that, however, the t. ineers proved to be up to the jge of beating a very tough cont team. The ladies took the next three games 15-8, 15-7, and 15-5, to win the match. This win proved to be much more diffi­ cult for the Mountaineers than their previous win over Georgia Southern. For one thing the Paladins had just come off a weekend where they had gone 5-0 in a tournament. Furman is also predicted to be one of the strongest con­ tenders for the Southern Conference crown along with Appalachian. Coach Dave Markland called the hard fought victory "one of the biggest wins of the year." However the victory did not come with­ out cost to the Mountaineers. In the third game, senior starter Miriam Sealey went down with an injury to her arm and was forced to leave the match. Coach Markland said that losing Sealey "takes some of the enjoyment out of the win." It has yet to be determined how serious Sealey"s injury is, and whether or not she will play Thursday. Outstanding performances for Appala­ chian were turned in by Sheri Leverette, who led the team in kills, with 21 and Erica Bahry, who led in digs, with 19. As a team the Moun­ taineers recorded 66 kills, 91 digs, 16 blocks and six aces. The Lady Apps will play again Thurs­ day, at home against another Southern Conference oppent, East Tennesse State. The team will then travel to South Caro­ lina to participate in the Charleston Tournament Friday and Saturday.

The world's boxing alliances could train and hire doctors whose only job is to examine fighters before showtime.

(Photo by Shane Richardson) The Appalachian State football team had an open date last week, but will be back in action Saturday as they take on East Tennes­ see State at Kidd Brewer Stadium. The game will be the Southern Conference debut for the Mountaineers and the first step toward a Southern Conference crown. So how will the Apps fare Saturday? Let me throw some numbers at you. The Moun­ taineers are 3-0 this season, East Tennessee State is 0-4. In the series history, Appalachian holds a 25-11-1 advantage including 13 con­ secutive victories over the Buccaneers. It doesn't take a math major to realize that the Mountaineers should come away with the win. Offensively, Appalachian State has been explosive this season, and the team looks to continue that trend against a generous East Tessessee State defense that has allowed 38.5 points per game this season. The Mountain- eers have been getting it done on the ground, rushing for over 300 yards in their last two contests. Damon Scott is coming off of a 218-yard rushing performance at North Carolina A8tT. Aldwin Lance got 105 yards of his own in the same contest. Strong performances by both backs should keep the Buccaneer defense guessing all afternoon. Appalachian's passing attack was rather quiet in the A8tT game, but look for quarter­ back Scott Satterfield to heat up against the Buccaneer secondary. On the other side of the ball, things don't look any better for ETSU, in fact they look worse. In last year's game, the Buccanneers were held to 28 yards rushing. Dexter Coaktey only needs two more tack­ les to move past Avery Hall and three more stops to pass Rico Mack to move into the fourth spot on Appalachian's list for career tackles. He may get that many before the national an­ them is played.

With just 2:47 gone in the game, Erik Brandsma scored on a run from the left wing. Wake scored again, this time by Ryan Scott, who managed to avoid two defenders before the shot. Again, a few minutes later, Brandsma scored his second goal of the half, giving Wake the early 3-0 lead. The Mountaineers would, however, come back. Just before the end of the first half, Greg Rhinehardt beat the Wake goalie on his way to an open goal. Then just into the second half, Jay Lane scored on a pass from Mike Moody to tighten the game at 3-2. The Deacons then would score the next two goals to shut the door on ASU. Ilija Zlatar scored on a header with 49:45 gone and Brandsma would get his third of the game at 60:15 and the hats were flying. Mountaineer Brett Harrell would score 81:57 into the game, but the Apps could get no more and the Deacs came away with the 5-3 win. Chad Hawley played in the goal for the Mountaineers replacing Jason Hockstra. Hawley had five saves. Also, Mountaineer Mike Moody had two assists in the game. The Mountaineers fell to 5-4 on the season and will next meet Southern Conference foe Georgia Southern in Statesboro. Game time is set for noon. The Mountaineers dropped games to Wake Forest and Vanderbilt this week sending their record to 5-4 thi season. The Mountaineers play again Sundy Oct. I at Georgia Southern. (Photo Toni Mazzaglia) �The Appalachian 28 Page 10 Bucs continued from page 9 this season, and the same should be the case Saturday. In their last contest, the Mountaineers gave up only 115 yards rushing to North Carolina A&T, and got to the Aggie quarterback for five sacks. However, the Apps have got to avoid another second half let down. Twice this season, the Mountaineers have given up a lot of points after half time; 21 to Wake Forest and 24 to A&T. But that's not going to happen this weekend, or at least shouldn't. The Mountaineers are a superior football team to the Bucs and unless the Apps fall apart, the final score will reflect just that. Since it's family weekend, cover your little brothers eyes, this could get ugly.

The victim identified the suspect, whose name has not been released, through a photo line-up last week. Capt. Larry Fos­ ter, university police investigator, then con­ fronted the suspect by interviewing him on the specifics of the case. According to Capt. Foster, the suspect denied being involved in the Sept. 18th attack. The female student was allegedly assaulted on Sept. 18 at 7:45 p.m. on Sta­ dium Drive, across from Trivette Hall. Ac­ cording to University Police, the suspect grabbed the female by the arm and forced her to sit on a stone wall while trying to con­ vince her to come up to her room. Penalties in the assault case are pending, because the female student involved has chosen not to press charges at this time. In order to avoid other alleged as­ saults, Capt. Foster has increased the num­ ber of patrolmen in the area and urges stu­ dents to be aware of their own safety. L to R.

PPalachian is published witfy support from Renee Cagle Staff Writer Construction of the new science building, which will house the astronomy, chemistry and physics departments, is sched­ uled to begin in approximately three weeks, said Clyde Robbins, associate vice chancellor of physical operations. The new building is expected to be finished in May of 1997. Originally, the building was to be lo­ cated directly beside Justice Residence Hall. Due to the need for more ventilation space, the building will now be located south of Jus­ tice on Rivers Street. The funding of the new science build­ ing, yet to be named, comes from a state bond issue passed last year. Appalachian received $25.5 million for the construction of the sci­ ence building and the Academic Support Build­ ing, already under construction on Rivers Street. Approximately $16.4 million will go to the science building. A committee was formed to hire an architect and make other decisions concern­ ing the science building. Committee head was Dr. Robert Soeder, professor of chemistry. Other members included Dr. Carl Mamola, chair of the physics department; Dr. Lawrence Brown, chair of the chemistry department; Kenneth Jacker, professor of computer sci­ ences and various others. According to Robbins, bids were col­ lected by the committee in May and the low­ est bid, Jenkins - Peer architectural firm, was $2 million over the $16.4 million budget. The bid was accepted and the plans were altered to fit the budget. "The architects had to partially re­ design the building and cut back in order to meet our $16.4 million budget," said Robbins. "The construction of such a large project in­ volves many departments and people." "The new science building is a very needed facility," said Don Sink, dean of the college of fine and applied arts. "There are almost 10 times as many students and fac­ ulty using Rankin today as when it first was built." Rankin Science Building was con­ structed in two phases. The first was com­ pleted in the 1960s and the last in early 1970. According to Sink, The Appalachian Alliance for Teaching Science is an organiza­ tion that is currently raising money to fund the renovation of the old Rankin Science Building. These funds will also help buy equipment for both buildings and help with costs in general. "Usually when you move into a new building you have new space, but not new equipment," said Sink. "With this program, we get both." "This is a building that's very impor­ tant to Appalachian," said Jane Helm, vice chancellor of business affairs. Helm will over­ see the construction of the building through­ out its development, as well as the process of moving in. "This is probably the most exciting thing to happen to the science departments in a long time," said Brown. "Appalachian's growing at a rate that's hard to keep up with."

How long will it take to forget it all again? To solve the problem, let's first ask, why does math seem to create this barrier for long term retention? Some very logical reasons Tim Nicholson come to mind. Math is much more a skill than Columnist knowledge. It takes practice. It takes memo­ rizing numerous, specific rules, steps and for­ mulas. Math solves practical problems, not intellectual, cultural, or emotional problems, Why are there such strict math require­ though the skills may help sharpen our think­ ments at Appalachian? Here, we have a man­ ing processes. We need a reason to do math; datory placement test, and a whole system set then it works. We don't do math to cope with daily problems. up for the large group who can't pass it. This Even though higher math impacts our set of hurdles can cause real problems for cer­ modern lives extensively, most of us still don't tain students, especially non-traditional ones. A Monday through Friday remedial 0010 ever use it. It's not like riding a bike; it's more course with no credited hours, but with a grade like building a computer. It takes constant that counts on the permanent GPA, no pre­ practice. Finally, the level of math technology test tutoring unless enrolled in a math class (a advances every second. Only professionals can keep up. catch 22), and an additional four hour math Let's give math credit for improving our core requirement. Finally, and most impor­ minds and our lives. We need higher math in tantly, it costs time and money. school for brain exercise and understanding. For me, I hadn't even thought of high level math for 25 years, and without warning, orientation plopped me right into my first placement test. Woah! Then I found out that the results meant hun­ dreds of hours of extra work in the dreaded "dumb guy's" math class. After a year of self teaching in preparation for my second try at the placement test, I'm enjoying the puzzle works of math. I really enjoy it. Time is the real problem. There is too much spent learning skills (which by now at age 45) I know I'll never use. more than memorizing and practicing all the techniques. Separate the curriculum into math for professionals and math for thinking skills. Simple math and arithmetic would still be cru­ cial for every student because we do use them in real life. Math, like music, art, sports, checkers, is a skill, even an art. Math is unlike science or history or geography. It requires technique and focuses on results and methods. The humani­ ties and sciences deal with the knowledge be­ hind everything, to be studied, while math is to be mastered. Right? We don't study facts we solve problems on the spot. Generate in­ formation. Apply. Mathematicians are like artisans. Can an opera singer still sing the same after years away? The knowledge of math is different from the exercises. Treat math the same as the other skills related studies, like music, art, languages, sports. Give us broad intelligence improving studies and leave the time consuming exercise and practice to the experts. Tie what we study to the level of what we use. Teach us how to use math to make our lives better, if we're not going to use it in our profes­ sions. Spend the remedial redevel­ opment on the curriculum, not the individual students who have already wasted their time trying to hold math in their brains like water in a sieve. Let's gear the math education of our society to be beneficial to all, not just to math profes­ sionals. Many older students feel singled out by the Appalachian math requirements and the whole math educational system that got us here. How much extra time do older students have to rehash lost skills? Who is to tell a middle aged person that we will need these skills in the real world? Does it make sense for these older students, with less time, to spend the most time on a subject which has proven itself to be a waste of time? Mathematicians deserve credit. But they should not run our lives any more than they already do. Higher math should fit in with the Arts and PE, where skills and use go to­ gether, not as a basic founding block of liberal education, like History, Reading, Writing, Sci­ ence, and Arithmetic. Many older students feel singled out by the Appalachian math requirements and the whole math educational system that got us here. How much extra time do older students have to rehash lost skills? Obviously, students are not learning math in 12 years of school and countless hours of homework. Whose fault is it? I can't believe the individual student is the culprit. Which needs a fix: students or the main educational system? Which would do everyone more good? Statistically, people need more inclass and homework hours for math than for any other study. At the same time, math skills fade faster. Dr. Smith, the very capable Chair of our math department, recognizes the problems and admits some concern. Strict math requirements and placement tests prove the problem exists, but they don't solve it. After five years out of school, how many can hope to pass the test? Check test statistics. Remem­ ber now, it took 12 years to get it the first time. i *V jl However, when the facility slips away so quickly, can we afford to waste hours and years practicing techniques which we never put to use in the real world? So much math wastes time for the 90 percent of students at all levels of school. There - I've said it. So what will eliminate the waste? Maybe we could still teach math, but in a more retainable, efficient, and useable way. Maybe we could teach application in real life Unabonfj continued from page 3 Knowing that the pressj kille r i s s c a r y .

However, I have been in­ convenienced many times due to the small job market and low competition raising prices. like the idea that Wal-Mart is on its way I am tired of higher priced goods at Kmart and the other larger stores. At the beginning of this year I went searching for a ten- gallon trashcan. I went to Kmart to find they only had one 30 gallon one left, and the hardware stores only had a few small ones to choose from at over eight dollars apiece. If Wal-Mart had been open I'm sure I could've found what I needed, at a reason­ able price. How many times have all of us had to go home or to Hickory, Wilkesboro, or Win­ ston-Salem to get clothing, school supplies, or general goods because they couldn t be found here or were too expensive? Being an English major in this town is tough. Last semester I went home to buy as many novels at a used bookstore as I could for my three English courses, and still wound up paying list price in the bookstore on cam­ pus. If Boone were a little more well rounded, I probably could have gotten the books here, used, without the hassle of hav­ ing to drive 200 miles because I refuse to pay $18 for a book I can get elsewhere for three dollars. I've heard various complaints about Boone growing too much for almost two and a half years now. If those of you who love the small town feel so much can't handle it, there's an easy solution. Move. Go to an­ other college somewhere that better suits your needs. If you want to live in a small town and chose this one, you made a poor choice. Any college town is going to grow regardless of where it is located. I'm pretty confident when I say that the majority of us aren't going to like living here part of the year any less after Wal-Mart opens its doors than we did before.

With this ring... Stuart Crampton Reporter \ What do Lenny Kravitz, Perry Farrell, Billy Joe (Green Day), Sinead O' Connor and Den­ nis Rodman have in common? Besides being a possible line- up for Lollapalooza '96, each of these slightly off-center individuals, like many Appalachian students, have a love for one of the newest and most intriguing fads in our culture, as well as an unbelievable toler­ ance for needles. The trend is called body piercing, and its popularity at Appalachian is still increasing. Body piercing? Is this some Generation X way of getting back at society for giving us the Bee Gees? Actu­ ally, body piercing is more than just needles and rings; it's a form of personal expression that was born centu­ ries ago. The Mayans employed body pierc­ ing as a form of per­ sonal sacrifice to their gods by making a hole in the tongue and then pulling a thorned vine through the wound. Although piercing has been common in many cultures since the Mayans, modern day piercing didn't start until the 1700s in England. With the rise in piercing's popularity during the late 1970s came a growing concern with the health and sanitation aspect of the practice. As a result, today's piercers are educated on such vital as­ pects as metallurgy, technique, infections and the growth of scar tissue. "Why would anyone want to subject them­ selves to that kind of pain?" asks junior Sonal Singh. One can find almost as many motives for piercing as there are people who have been pierced. But some of the more common mo­ tives given by Appalachian students deal with sex appeal, rebellion, blending in with the new culture, personal pleasure and simply liking the way piercing looks. Freshman Leah Rubin says many of her friends have been pierced for one main rea­ son: sex. "Piercing is purely sexual, and it creates eroticism and intimacy," said Rubin. Junior Page Bradham, a native of Chapel Hill and president of A.PRS., had his left ear pierced more than six times for a completely different reason. "I like jewelry, I like the look, and 1 enjoy accessorizing," said Bradham. Sophomore Ian Busby, of Thomasville, shares the motives of both Rubin and Bradham. "I got my ear, my nose, and my nipple pierced purely for decoration, but I had my penis pierced because I heard it increases the length of an orgasm by four times. Out of all of what I've had done, my tongue ring is my favorite because it's really an oral fixation," said Busby. Body piercer Fred Davis has been pierc­ ing ears, noses, tongues, nipples, eye­ brows and genitalia at Expressions for al­ many of the same concerns as most six months, and Davis. "Piercing is still not regu­ he is concerned with lated by any health standards, so how ignorant Boone you should really research it, ask­ is to the dangers of ing all the whys, hows and what body piercing.

"Whywould anyone want to subject themselves to that kind of pain?" - Sonal Singh, junior " s art in Plemmons new mm**. m - : : f Natalie Kozin Reporter I' I A new art gallery is opening on campus with exhibits created entirely by Appalachian students, faculty, and staff. The looking Glass Mountain Art Gallery, located on the first floor of the renovated Stu­ dent Union, will house four exhibits in the fall and spring semesters, and two in the sum­ mer. Each exhibit will run for three weeks. Phil Arnold, evening manager of Plemmons Student Union, said, "Our thoughts were that it is sometimes difficult to bring stu­ dents to art, so we are bringing an to the stu­ dents. Its location in the Student Union makes the an a focal point, a vortex of aesthetic en­ ergy." The inaugural exhibit features selected works from the Appalachian Artist Collection, a permanent collection housed in the Alpine Lounge in the Student Union. This exhibit fo­ cuses on two-dimensional art including oils, watercolor, pastel, wood block, mixed media and seriogragh pieces. The Other exhibits for the semester are l not permanently set. If a student, class or professor is interested in showing their work, they can go to the Student Programs office and apply for space. The types of art slated for display are not limited to only two-dimensional paintings. The gallery will have a television set up to show the artist at work. Sculptures and pho­ tography can also be shown. Brad Vest, the program coordinator for the Office of Student Programs, said, "1 just think that the gallery will be a great opportu­ nity for the Appalachian family to view what their comrades have produced. It is a pre­ mier encounter program for the Appalachian community as a whole." The art will be offered for sale after this first exhibit. The management for the gal­ lery will help connect the interested buyer and the artist, but the artist will receive all prof­ its. The art gallery will open officially on Monday, Sept. 25th. The hours have been tentatively set for .1.0 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Campers are split into three separate groups for their activities and sleep in one of three 25-person cabins. The counselors present the kids with very challenging tasks, and then let them work to­ gether as a group to solve them. This teaches the campers "soft skills," which are best de­ scribed as social skills. Soft skills teach camp­ ers to discover things about themselves, how to solve problems, and more importantly, to build stronger bonds. They accomplish this through communication, trust, understanding and learning to tolerate other people and their differences. "It enables the campers to see their fellow classmates in a different light," says Bevans. The activities also teach campers confi­ dence and self-esteem, qualities which Bevans feels are overlooked in the normal education system. "We are different from a classroom environment. It's called "experiential educa­ tion". We learn by doing, and it's real power­ ful stuff," said Bevans. Skills that are valuable to the campers also relate to the counselors wh The counselors are able tc outdoor skills that they are ers while also learning tlr The counselors learn m s skills, the ability to give c to deal with a wide array < importantly, it teaches res a counselor has 10 campe i ment, and has to travel an do a caving activity, that i s ity," says Bevans.

Once again, "Ready to climb." Chris was not quite sure if this was what he really wanted his 11 year old body to be doing. "Climb on Chris," came the confident reply of his balay man. And with that, Chris was off to conquer the "Burma Bridge," a 20-foot rope element in the high ropes course. This is a typical situation for campers at the little-known Camp Broadstone in Valle Crucis. Camp Broadstone is a 55-acre camp owned and operated by Appalachian that works with children ages10 to 14, and teaches them group interaction, outdoor skills and environmental education programs. Most of the 25 counselors at the camp are Appalachian students or former students. Many are leisure stud­ ies majors but there are also many different departments rep­ resented, such as education, bi­ ology and psychology. Camp Broadstone opened in 1961 and is managed under the Division of Continuing Educa­ tion. The camp is open yearround and facilitates family re­ treats, weddings and confer­ ences. But Broadstone's main mission is working with groups of people, particularly young people. And as Camp Director Judith Bevans says, "We are an educational facility, not a recre­ ational one." The camp usually entertains a group of 30 children over a three- day session. Most of the groups are regular classes from middle schools throughout the western part of the state. One school from Winston-Salem is so pleased with the camp that they have sent a group for 11 straight years A typical day for the camp­ ers starts out with breakfast at 7:30 a.m., which is followed by Broadstone campers rprepare to ^ perform u ropesj course activity u i i a belaa — ~ ^ ^ ^ , a i i / p u b u u / o G a u L i v u y on a u c i r ~ ~ •wn half-Hav arniir» A / i < , . . . . . _ two half-day group activities with Appalachian owned and operated camp in Valle Crucis.

Don't worry, there no swinging axes in this movie, se desktop junkies break into or computer systems and play ind until they get a cyber-thrill or ison term.

At the tender age of 11, Dade hauled into court and prosecuted omputer crashing, among other gs, Wall Street. >w 18 and freshly arrived in New City, Dade befriends a group of r-punks at his new high school, nainframe goes "thumpa-thumpnp" ever the gal in the group, a rills rebel named Kate (Angelina ).

Before you know it, our heroic <s stumble their way into a messy piracy at an oil corporation. The termind (Fisher Stevens) behind the company's troubles is not happy about being discovered, so he puts Dade and friends under the net. This guy's name is "The Plaque," so you can expect evil-doing. Speaking of crazy conspiracies, Mr. Plaque has the Secret Service in the seat of his laptop. The Service is cracking down on hackers, so he sends them out. Funny thing is, the oP Plaquester is a crazy hacker him­ self. "Hackers" is a fairly well-made cyber thriller with mega-bytes of laughs and some great music to type by. However, the plotline is as clunky as a typewriter and floats like one. Fortunately, the pace of the movie covers up these faults and the other lapses in logic. But there's no cover­ ing up the irritating MTV video cam­ era work. Many scenes appear to have been filmed by a drunk guy stuck in a washing machine. This is very similar to the 1983 hit "WarGames," but without the nuclear missiles and massive death scares. The real thrill stems from watching some kids bend a zillion-dollar indus­ try to their will. There's a vast uni­ verse out there in computers. Know­ ing that there are people out there hacking away and crashing systems for fun, one might want to log off of the whole system. However, "Hack­ ers" is worth logging onto; just leave your terminal off. Grade: are other perks from working at the camp. "It's good to be outside, hav­ ing a good time, helping kids learn," says Reardon, then with a grin,"and getting paid for it too." Mathews, a sustainable develop­ ment major, said working at the camp is fun and there is a lot of vari­ ety in the people and activities go­ ing on. "The camp is very organized and professional, yet laid back at the same time," she said. "I like to do it because it benefits the children." Reardon agrees, "It's great to let the kids do something they thought they would never be able to do. The counselors leave here every day more energized than when we came in to work." For those interested in working in the camp, Bevans distributes fly­ ers to various department heads when there are openings, and sets up a booth at Camp Placement Day in the student union. Each person must go through the staff training and then through an apprenticeship before assuming responsibility of their own group. An apprenticeship is determined on an individual ba­ sis, but usually consists of accompa­ nying three different activity groups as well as observing and working with counselors. As Bevans says, "The camp is a great training ground for teachers." Camp Broadstone is a unique experience for those students wish­ ing to work with children in an edu­ cational outdoor environment, but more importantly, counselors learn about themselves and the amazing ability of what the outdoors may do for a young person. "In the 20 years that we have been around, we have literally touched thousands of lives, both counselors' and children's," said Bevans. "It sounds funny, but in three days we develop a real sense of family caring, and it shows."

The Boone rains and a Moun­ taineer attack were enough to snuff out the Flames as Appalachian coasted to a 3-0 win. The Mountaineer offense came through early with three shots in the first four minutes. Liberty's first offensive opportunity did not originate until seven minutes into the game, on a direct kick, and they were unable to pro­ duce. The Mountaineers could not be suppressed by the rain or Liberty's physical play. Liberty players received warnings for roughing as Brian Cone left the game bleeding, but re­ turned to action later. With about 30 minutes left Kevin Turner scored the only goal of the first half unassisted. At the other end, goalie Jason Hockstra made numerous saves, keeping his shutout, intact At one time Hockstra was bombarded by shots, with three Liberty comer kicks, but all three came up short. Defensive player Kevin Turner went down with a minute left in the first half. His lower left arm was injured and he never returned to action. Less than four minutes into the second half Lou Brancourt scored with an assist by Mark Hemphill. Six minutes later Naoshi Yamauchi passed the ball to Jay Lane for the third and final goal. Liberty threw in the proverbial towel as they sent in their second squad with about 13:00 left in the second half. Coach Art Rex com­ mented , "Our midfielders directed play today, and what shots Liberty did make on our goal were not clear shots and the shutout is a di­ rect consequence of their play."

Razzaglia) Hyun Kwon Reporter The field hockey season is in full swing for Appalachian as the Lady Mountaineers played three games this week, dropping two against Virginia and Virginia Commonwealth and collecting their first win of the season at Radford. The ladies started their week on Sunday Sept. 17 in Winston-Salem where they played against Virginia.The squad held the Lady Cava­ liers scoreless for the first 18 minutes of the first half before Virginia made their first of their many goals. " I was pleased about the 18 min­ utes. Even though there was little offense, we Mike Daniels Reporter The Appalachian State women's volleyball team continued their winning ways last friday with a 3-0 win over Georgia Southern. The victory at Broome-Kirk Gymnasium was the team's first Southern Conference match of the season. The win also extended the Lady Moun­ taineers winning streak to five in a row, bring­ ing their record for the year to 5-7. Appalachian came out strong in the match, taking a 12-0 lead in the first game en played good defense allowing no shots to go in," explained Coach Cathy Burleson. The score at half time was 0-3 with Vir­ ginia in the lead. During the second stanza the Mountaineers played defense all half. " We just kept feeding the Cavaliers the ball and they just kept making the goal," stated Coach Burleson. "The team just didn't meet the chal­ lenge. It was a mental game and with goal af­ ter goal, it tired the girls out both physically and mentally. However, it allowed us to sub in everyone and allowed us to gain experience." The Mountaineers lost to the Cavaliers to a score of 0-11. After such a tough loss to Virginia, the team prepared themselves for their game against Radford, which was held on Wednes­ day Sept. 20. Even though the team was on Radford's home turf, the Lady Mountaineers got their first victory of their season. " "We were tickled to have a win under our belt," commented Coach Burleson. " Radford is a big ball team that drives rough and our girls are used to playing smaller game than Radford, but with players like se­ nior forward Barry Clyatt, junior forward Jen­ nifer Broderick, sophomore mid-fielder Rachel Bergman, senior forward Elena Moore, junior mid-fielder, and senior goalkeeper Ingrid Stamberg we played a great game, " added Burleson. Junior forward Jennifer Broderick scored the winning goal for ASU with a right wing kick with an assist from freshman Suzanne Fawsett. The score came in the first half with 3:23 remaining. route to a 15-2 win. Appalachian then took a 5-0 lead in the second game on the way to a 15-7 victory. In the final game the Lady Apps went on an 11 point run, helping them finish off the match with a 15-6 win. The Lady Mountaineers dominated Georgia Southern in just about every way. The team had 10 aces compared to zero for the Lady Eagles. Senior Sheri Leverette led the way with four, while also collecting 16 digs and seven kills. Defensively, the Lady Apps had another strong match with 71 digs and 27 blocks as a team. Senior Amy Kolemechuk led in digs with 18 and sophmore Jennifer Rumfeldt led in blocks with seven. Coach Dave Markland was very pleased with the team's performance. Markland com­ mented that "Everyone contributed and played their roles well." He also said that the team "blocked and served better than they have been." The Lady Mountaineers will try to extend their winning streak this week with conference matches Tuesday and Thursday nights against Furman and East Tennesse State. Both matches will be held in Broome-Kirk Gymna­ sium at 7:00 p.m. Lauy iviuumaiiieers exwna weir win streak to five with a victory over Georgia Southern Friday night. I rut Sophomore Rachel Bergman helped the team in rushing Radford to shoot. Goalkeeper Ingrid Stamberg played an aggressive game and stayed in the game punching out a lot of balls out. Stamberg had eight saves in the first half and 13 saves in the second half. " Although we won, we will need to be physi­ cally and mentally prepared for the rematch against Radford," explained Coach Burleson. With their first victory "under their belt", the ASU Field Hockey team improved their record to 1-6. With a win in hand, the ASU reurned home and played against Virginia Common­ wealth Saturday Sept. 23. "It was an excit­ ing game. We played an attack play through­ out the whole game and a man-to-man de­ fense," explained Coach Burleson. "This was Darryl Stevens Staff Writer Sports Commentary The Cleveland Indians and the St. Louis Rams are ready to scratch long-bothersome itches. The Indians last won the American League in 1954, when they won an all-time best 111 games. That season, Cleveland won a kind of team Triple Crown: Larry Doby led the American in homers and RBIs, and team­ mate Roberta Avila batted .341 for the aver­ age title. The Cleveland franchise has been re­ moved from the spotlight so long that a movie was based on their long-term futility ("Major League"). They know that the glory still lies ahead. A 100-win season will only mean something to historians. When your team has risen like cream, after so many years of frustration, there's nothing to do but smile, ignore the natural mixed feelings, and enjoy the moment. Fans of these normally graceless teams ask them­ selves if this could be "the year the (fill-inthe-blank), my favorite team, really does something worth remembering." The problem with this positive, flowery attitude is that history doesn't let us forget. Rams fans may feel the same caution this week, as St. Louis celebrated its 4-0 re­ turn to the NFL. After all, nobody wants to get excited too quickly. The Philadelphia Phillies' mid-season collapse after a hot start is only the most recent reason not to get hopes up too high, too early. The Rams franchise's only visit to the Super Bowl, in 1980, was a 31-19 spanking by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

This season, they can hope for a second place bid against the Knicks and Celtics. Plaver with the Most to Prove: Shawn Kemp. Like the song says, the Lakers beat the Supersonics, and Seattle's open­ ing-series loss last May was its second straight first-round exit. 1996 is Kemp's year to fulfill his potential. After two years of dominating regular season, somebody has to step into the shoes of the Money Man, WIN whether it be Kemp or Gary Payton. No team can win consistently in the playoffs without a Mr. Clutch. Plaver with the Least to Prove: Michael Jordan. Anything short of Chicago's fourth title in the '90s will be a letdown for a lot of people. Jordan couldn't lift the Bulls singlehandedly over the Magic, and that knocked some of the glitter away from Flight 2345 this summer But it disregards Orlando's talent and effort to suggest its second round win was due to Jordan's "decline." Hakeem Olajuwon's accomplishments are also diminished by such conclu­ sions, for whether Jordan returns from baseball or not, the Dream was the best in the world last year. Too bad Jordan didn't stay retired, because hell have to duplicate those championship seasons to satisfy himself - and he's much more difficult to please than anyone else.

This service offers students safe, after-hours transportation on-campus. Jason Basinger, the SGA cabinet member in charge of Mountaineer Escort, said the service will be run differently this year. All of the calls will be answered by the police dis­ patch and then volunteers will be radioed. There will be two shifts each night and two people will cover each shift. » Darby weaver, sua presiuem, sa,u the service is getting an earlier start this year than they did last year. According to Weaver, last year's staff did not start service until midOctober. "A lot of fraternities have put up a lot of guys for the next few weeks," said Weaver. Basinger said the service relies heavily on or­ ganizations on campus for volunteers. He es­ timated that there are over 100 volunteers signed up so far this year. "I'm thankful for the turnout we've had so far," said Basinger. He said volunteers may fill out an application in the Student Gov­ ernment Association office. Basinger said that all volunteers go through an orientation process before they are put on the schedule for a shift. Incidences Rape *This figure includes Jan. 1, 1995- July 31, 1995 Source: "Crime Awareness and Campus Security"pamphlet "Basically, I want to increase awareness by getting people to volunteer and get involved with the service," said Basinger. "I want people to be comfortable with calling the service." Mountaineer Escort is available to accompany students from 8 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. during daylight savings time and 6 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. thereafter.

Number of rush participants increases Ben Emery Reporter ^Appalachian PbCSfc S«HVK» twice 1$36 Arrests "It went great," said Jim Street, the assistant director of the Center for Student Development. According to Street, the num­ ber of students rushing fraternities and sorori­ ties this year is up. This year, 250 women joined a so­ rority, which is a 50-person increase from last year. Street said the increase in pledges is par­ tially due to the large freshman class. Street also said the Panhellenic Council did a good job of advertising the sorority rush this year. The final numbers for fraternities are not in yet, but Street said the fraternities were seeing an increase, too. Fraternity rush is still in progress and bids will be put out for pledges on Friday, Sept. 22. Street said fraternities and sororities are required to follow strict alcohol guidelines during rush. He said there were not any prob­ lems with any groups breaking the Dry Rush rule. Most students said they rushed "to meet people." Some students did not rush because they did not have the time. "I didn't want to get committed my first year, but 1 will probably rush next year," said Mandy Burford, freshman. Sean McGinnis, freshman, said, "I needed to center in on the most important things. With all of the parties, I was afraid of not settling in well or my grades slipping." Many students said their jobs or school work got in the way of rushing. Others felt that by rushing, they were in a sense buying their friends. McGinnis said, "You're not just paying for friends, but for the benefits that come with the frat. You get a bond of brotherhood that is for life." Panhellenic Council is made up of seven sororities, all who participated in rush activities. The 10 fraternities that are still rushing are part of the Interfratemity Council. There are two historically African -American fraternities and three historically African-American sororities that make up the Pan-Hellenic Council. They will have membership intake later in the year. with support from Appalachian's Center for Student Involvement and Leadership.

The senators and cabinet members also met with their advisor, Dino DiBernardi, director of the Cen­ ter for Student Involvement and Lead­ ership. "They (the senators and cabi­ net) seem to mirror the student body," said DiBernardi. "They had real orga­ nized training with a good solid agenda." According to Darby Weaver, SGA president, goals this year include making SGA more interactive with stu­ dents, diversifying the campus of Ap­ palachian, renovating the library, and improving the transportation around Appalachian and the community. Michael Harkins, chief of staff, wants to redefine the role of chief of staff. As of now, the chief of staff heads the new senate elections and chairs the cabinet meetings. Harkins said that other than those duties, the role was a litde foggy. "I hope to set up guidlines for future chiefs of staff," said Harkins. Some of the new duties he will be performing are making sure the sena­ tors attend their RSA meetings and hall meetings, and holding the sena­ tors and cabinet members accountable for their positions. Several positions are still open in SGA, including that of trea­ surer. Twenty-two senator seats are available. Steppin' out...

Accuracy and Public Service since 1936 Our opinion... Tenure policy should be followed Ed Disney: More than meet h the eye? 'Darling, it's better down where it's wetted Ken Larking Editorials Editor In 1993 the Committee on Personnel and Ten­ ure, in conjunction with the Committee on Educa­ tional Planning, Policies and Programs, submitted a report to the Board of Governors of the University of North Carolina system on the subject of tenure. The report stated that "the purpose of tenure is to assure faculty members academic freedom and protection against improper abridgements of the freedom of in­ quiry through teaching, scholarship, research, and creative activities; and to protect the right to pub­ lish or otherwise present scholarly work publicly without the threat of political or other sources of confining orthodoxies." That sure sounds good, doesn't it? It basically states that professors should be free of the pressures of teaching course material they don't agree with simply because the institution says they should. It also states professors should be able to print schol­ arly works without the threat of being punished for what they say. That, in itself, is a very noble goal. Professors should not be confined to the view of the whole institution. However, while the concept of tenure is a good one, the reality of it is often much less favorable. The report goes on to state that "tenure can be revoked for cause on grounds of incompetence, ne­ glect of duty or serious misconduct that precludes further association with the institution." The "neglect of duty" part of the report is what we are calling into question. For professors who can't seem to take the time to maintain their office hours to help students with questions and for others who simply do not feel they have to meet the require­ ments of their jobs, tenure is a shield protecting them from responsibility. Appalachian has claimed status as a school with an emphasis on teaching rather than research, and as such, should make sure its professors are making teaching a priority. When this is not the case, measures should be taken to correct the situation. Tenure should be viewed by this university as a privilege, not a right. If a professor is neglecting his or her duties to stu­ dents, that professor should be brought in front of a tenure board, whose focus is to make sure the stan­ dards of tenure are being upheld. If changes are not made by the professor, he or she should lose tenure and be replaced by someone who will make teach­ ing their students a priority. The last paragraph in the report explaining the concept of tenure states: "The quality of the Univer­ sity depends ultimately on the quality of its faculty. Historically, tenure has been a common feature of all major universities and colleges in the United States and crucial to the attraction and retention of outstanding faculty members. How that system op­ erates, the policies and procedures followed, and the standards applied will determine, in large measure, the quality of the faculty and of the University." We couldn't agree more. The Appalachian is published every TUesday and Thursday of the academic year with the exception of selected holidays and breaks. The Appalachian welcomes letters to the editor. These should be typed, double spaced, and include the author's name, address, phone number and campus affiliation, if any. The Appalachian reserves the right to decline publication of any letter or to edit letters for the purpose of space and clarity.

It has been ar­ gued that the word appears in a dust cloud in one of the scenes of the hit movie. In recent years there have been many arguments that sexual messages, innuendoes, and suggestions appear in other Disney movies. The fact that sexual themes are so prevelant in Disney moves one to question Disney's motives. For instance, in "The Lion King" there were scenes that seemed a bit too sexual for the average "G" audience. One scene shows Simba (the Lion King) and Nala (the future Lion Queen) tumbling in the grass. Simba pins Nala to the ground, and while he sits on top of her, she looks at him seductively. And what about Pumbaa and Timon (the warthog and the meerkat)? Surley they represented a gay couple. Throughout the span of Simba's childhood these two did nothing but hang out together. They would run around, singing and dancing all day long, and when they were finally tired, Timon would be found sleeping on Pumba's stomach. Looked like cuddling to me. Pumba and Timon represented an inter-animalistic relationship of sorts. "The Little Mermaid" was filled with sexual images. For instance, on the poster there is clearly a representation of a penis in the underwater castle. Disney has sued the cartoonist because of it. Also, don't you think the bikini shells worn by Ariel revealed a bit too much. I'm sure that there was more than one guy watching who hoped for her shells to fall off. Don't forget about the line in the song Under the Sea" that read: "Darling, it's better, down where it's wetter." That had some underlying meaning I'm sure I don't need to get into. Also in "Mermaid," there has been some argument that when Ariel is walking down the aisle, the minister gets an erection. This idea was attributed to the fact that there was a slight shift in his pants, and to top it all off, he had a huge grin on his face. More recently, the movie "Pocahontas" has come un­ der fire for its portrayal of Pocahontas. She ranks up there with Judy Jetson on the "All-Time Hottest Babes in Cartoons" list. Not to mention the fact that the writers take the 13-yearold Pocahontas and set her up with a much older Capt. John Smith. In addition, the theme of bestiality is prevalent throughout the movie "Beauty and the Beast," for more than obvious reasons. Even in some of the older movies, sexual themes are present. In "The Lady and The Tramp," the dogs kissed over a bowl of spaghetti. What's the next obvious step? I mean—they are dogs. And what's up with seven guys living with "the fairest one of all" in "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs?" Makes me Bashful just thinking about it. The dancing brooms in "Fan­ tasia": phallic symbols?

I real­ ized I was probably never going to beat this guy. Oh sure, I'll occasionally get in one of those uppercuts, but not enough to kill him. Something in his genetic make-up makes him better at Mortal Kombat II then I will ever be. Maybe when Mortal Kombat III comes out, I'll have my reckoning, but until then I guess I'll take my lumps. Then, for some reason, while playing this game, some part of me realized that all the scorn this game has re­ ceived for violence is not exactly without merit. The game is violent, in a borderline ugly way. I imagine my psyche has already been subjected to all the perversion it will re­ spond to, but to impressionable youngsters? There's a scene where one of the little Ninja-guys actually rips the arms off another one, and blood squirts out of the sockets. It's hard to label this as normal. So what would I do if I had a kid who wanted a vio­ lent video game? Not only would I buy it, I'd probably play it with him. I guess I am just not completely con­ vinced that exposure to violence will turn my kid into some kind of maniac, at least not a dangerous one. And if I didn't buy it, I'm sure he or she would just go next door or to the arcade. I know I was exposed to a lot of violence as a child and I don't feel particularly out of control. Admittedly, I would get together with childhood peers and try different wrestling moves, but I never tried to draw blood. Maybe it's just a natural part of adolescence to test one's physical capability, and not because of hours of profession tling. Animals are violent, and they rarely ever way fessional wrestling. Sure, kids shouldn't try to upper-cut erne anot while some video games may expose kids to gn violence, maybe there is more to it. Suppose ps violent. Human beings, perhaps by some natural are just a touch violent. I can't think of a timet beginning of mankind when there wasn't violent mainstream culture. Ever read "Sir Gawain andtl Knight" or Beowolf? Violence is nothing new, am violence to a certain extent helps people get outt their natural aggression. Perhaps by outletting into video games and TV where nobody is actual cally harmed, we are preventing such things asgk bear-baiting and other products of mankind's it violence. So as long as there are established line difference between fantasy and reality are explain let your kid rip off the arms of the Ninja-guy.

Mr. Larking assumes that every smoker is so addicted that they can­ not do anything without smoking a cigarette. He also says smokers sit around and do nothing but smoke. Larking's comment that "smokers can sit in the break room or outside and smoke their cigarettes without any­ one in management bothering them" also hits a sore spot within me. I wish my boss would allow me to sit in the break room, smoking a couple of ciga­ rettes, without reprimanding me. My boss feels he is paying me to work, not to smoke. All of Larking's statements seem to be assumptions made from living with his wife, a smoker. A little ad­ vice to this Editorials Editor: don't write such a controversial article without doing more research. Your assumptions and observations that all smokers are like your wife are naive and simple. Not everyone runs to the store right before they run out of ciga­ rettes. They can foresee the problem and buy some before they run out. Maybe you need to take a look at the real world, it does include more smokers than just your wife. Lora Goins ASU Box 13919 l/rite us! ASU Box 9025 Steven Mackay Columnist Anita Hill has spoken. All hail the wise say­ ings of the queen of sexual harassment. All kid­ ding aside, last Tuesday night, Hill brought up some interesting points on the taboo known as sexual harassment. Well, except for the notion that complimenting a person's dress constitutes harassment, which is absolutely ridiculous. Hill correctly stated that there are plenty of scum out there who do make unwanted sexual advances on women (and men). The current prime example of sexual deviance is Senator Packwood (now there's a name with sub-text). She is also correct in her condemning of such inexcusable behavior, which does indeed need to "die" out. However, she missed one important point. There's a new victim in the sexual harass­ ment war - your constitutional rights. Mainly, the First Amendment. You know, that one about freedom of speech... and the press... and all that neat stuff. The hunt for those who harass has turned into a sickening witch hunt. The feminists who are supporting this war have set their sights on an innocent perpetrator : paper. Yes, those thin slices of wood fiber that are mainly used as a ve­ hicle for communication. Apparently, porno­ graphic material or anything remotely deemed "crude" can harass a person. Therefore it is wrong. This is apparent in the popular pink "Don't be a victim of sexual harassment" posters that hang everywhere on campus. On the same page that warns of real sexual harassment instances like assault and threats is the claim that, "Pin­ ups, posters, sexually derogatory cartoons, sexual magazines and calendars" are also forms of ha­ rassment. I've seen some strange stuff in my life, but I've never seen a piece of paper or a magazine either physically or verbally attack somebody. It's just logically impossible. Paper is not alive. If you're upset by a piece of paper or magazine with a picture of a naked lady on it, you need help. If you're driven to tears by a picture of Cindy Crawford or a copy of "Playboy^ I'd suggest lock­ ing yourself in a dark closet for the rest of your • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •f • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • i * t $ * • • • • • J • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • VERTICAL HORIZOO mr ar.= F R E E SEPTEMBER 22 BPM TD11PM 5TUDEN' LJNIDN BALLROOM RE-DEDICATIDN EU ENT NONALCOHOLIC * • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •••••••••••••••••••••••-A-*******************.***.**.** natural life. Sexual harassment is defined as un­ wanted sexual attention. If you think a piece of pa­ per is giving you attention, you need some psychiat­ ric attention. If you don't like what you're looking at, don't look at it! Have we reached a point of paranoid sensitivity and extremist political correctness? People are being punished for their preference in reading materials and art. I personally don't like pornographic books, mov­ ies and magazines, but they are still a protected right. However, many people on the left side of the political lines don't see it that way. They are, once again, tram­ pling over people's personal and fundamental rights in the name of a cause - feminism. When will their war end? Before or after we ban guys from campus for carrying around an issue of "Hustler"? Or maybe after we search private dorm rooms for "offensive" materials. Sound crazy? Hey, sexual harassment is against the law. The pink posters proclaim that all harassment claims will be investigated. These obvious threats of censorship are worse than anything conservatives can throw at us (Bob Dole merely suggested a voluntary crackdown on movie sex and violence, but he was still out of line doing it). Nothing is sacred to a group of people with a political agenda. If we let pornography or related sexual ma­ terials be banned because they are "incorrect," then we open the door for more of our rights to be van­ quished. The feminist claim that soft-porn magazines and movies reduce women to "sexual objects" is hypocriti­ cal to the fullest. Magazines which sexually depict males are flying off the shelf, and Brad Pitt doesn't pack movie houses because of his thespian skills. Women love the sex fantasy games as much as any guy. They're just good at hiding it. The day I see the NOW organization demanding that Mel Gibson do no more butt shots (God knows I wish he'd quit it), I'll think differently. The saddest aspect of this war is that it hurts the very cause that feminists proudly support. To put the words "sexual calendar" on the same page as horrific acts like "assault" and "rape" is an insult to the real victims of those crimes. You simply can not compare the two. Rapists and sexual predators need to be locked away forever (I'd personally like to see them publicly hanged, but that's another editorial), somewhat nor­ mal folks who like to read "dirty" magazines or draw "dirty" cartoons just need to be left alone. They're not hurting anybody but themselves. If the war on sexual harassment continues as is, we may find our First Amendment rights dying off instead of the sick behavior of a few persons. If some­ body is crushing your rights, tell someone! Don't be a victim of First Amendment rights harassment. Abstinence continued from page 4 defend your actions. Remember when I said some people would take offense if you don't offer them a greeting? Well, even more of them will take offense if you reply sarcastically. This can be fun for awhile, but unless you feel the need to totally ostracize your­ self from your peers, there are better approaches. The mocking modus operandi lasted me about two weeks. I then tried joining in. This seemed to please the masses, but herein lies a different set of com­ plexities altogether. For instance, whom does one say "hi"" to? Who gets a simple nod or a smile and who gets a full "whassup?"/nod/smile combination? What degree of farmiliarity does it require to war­ rant a semi-genuine-but-really-just-trying-to-be-nice smile, wink, or "sup?" I sure didn't know, and apparendy neither did anyone else. There would be people with whom I had struck up deep conversations that would visibly struggle to look up and smile at me as we crossed paths. Then there would be others that would be in the same class as I, and would bound out with a "HI, RICHARD!" from out of nowhere, af­ ter having not once spoken to me. What the hell?! We signed up for the same class and now we're linked for life? I bring up the idea of life commitment because there comes a point (particularly on a small campus) when you simply stop acknowledging someone's pres­ ence. You know; there will be a group project in­ volving you and a few strangers, you'll meet at the lihrarv nnrp •wice, do your presentation, and that's all, right? You had a nice litde educational bonding experience with no frills — not exactly. Every time this has happened with me, there has been one per­ son in the group that has felt compelled to say hello or something every time we see each other — even though there is no bond anymore. I'll oblige once or twice to say, "Yes, we were in a group together — it sure was fun, wasn't it? La-de-da!", but after that I must let them know it's over. I'll see them coming from 50 feet away, lock my eyes on the sky at an angle of 2 o'clock and avoid an interpersonal catas­ trophe. Unless they say my name, we aren't going to make eye contact and have that little dilemma about whether to blurt out unnecessary chitchat. The 2 o'clock thing has worked out so well that I use it all the time now. Instead of looking down, I will cast a positive (albeit aloof) image with my chin up and eyes gazing dreamily skyward (in your oppo­ site direction). It's great. No one says anything un­ less it is truly appropriate, and neither do I, if I even see them at all. I realize this may be a bit extreme, but it saves a lot of indecision. So the next time you want to be nice to me, don't ask me how it's going — just don't say anything. That's the nicest thing you could do for a socially abstinent misfit like me. nm 164-MSr "YOU CAN ALWAYS EAT WITH US" MONDAY 1 LARGE 16" New York Style Pizza with 2 toppings for 7.99 — Additional toppings are 1.05 each TUESDAY 2 MEDIUM 12" New York Style Pizzas with 2 toppings on each for 9.98 — Additional toppings are .95 each WEDNESDAY THURSDAY 1 LARGE 16" WHITE PIE (just cheese) No toppings for 6.99 — Toppings are 1.05 each 1 LARGE 16" New York Style Pizza (Thin Crust - just cheese) for 6.99 -— Toppings are 1.05 each DAILY SPECIALS ARE FOR DINING ROOM AND PICK UP ONLY BUY A LARGE 16 inch PIZZA FOR $6.99!!! plus tax DELIVERED Please call ahead and use our PICK-UP WINDOW �The Appalachian 21 Page 6 Fea tures Plemmons opens with 'Horizon ' #$$< I • John Starling Reporter In the past year, the music community has been drenched with acoustic - based pop from the likes of Hootie and the Blowfish and the Dave Matthews Band.

OK, it could happen. All right, it did happen. And I guess the campus police were out somewhere eating donuts... You see. I was at the Student Union Sun­ day night with about 50 other students watch­ ing College Bowl '95— a university versus university competition where the winner re­ ceives cash, prizes, and a scholarship to his/ her favorite school. Sound bogus? It was. The whole thing was a setup— the scene of an audience participation murder mystery. For those of you who have no clue of what I'm talking about, let me fill you in: it's more fun than Clue, the prizes are actually real money, and Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes don't get to play. Also, everything you need to know happens in the room, right in front of your eyes, so you don't have to follow the actors out to use the bathroom, etc. The exciting part of this is that the killer could be sitting beside you, or your neighbor could suddenly drop dead from poisoning. As for the dead people, we were asked to respect them— no kicking, hitting, or dragging the bodies allowed. Pat Smiley, the game show host with the most, explained College Bowl to everyone— like how it doesn't have a wheel because Opie, his assistant and obsessed fan, accidentally sent it to Kansas. The game consists of 3 play­ ers, 6 questions— to miss a question is to get a physical challenge, like do an animal im­ pression that Bambi (ditsy spokesperson) has to guess. Definitely a challenge, at least for someone like Bambi who couldn't figure out that dogs bark, not trees. The contestants were Troy— an Appala­ chian student majoring in cow-tipping, who enjoys bungee jumping off the Blowing Rock and mending moccasins; Matt— majoring in advance lawn maintenance and whose dream is for all the children of the world to join hands and sing "Kum-Bah-Ya"; and Felicia, who is pursuing her MRS degree. The questions were cheesy ones, like "Why are the academy awards nicknamed Os­ cars? Well, know the little dude on the award? Bette Davis thought his butt looked like that of her husband, Oscar. OK. I think it looks like the butt out in front of Walker Hall. Contestants came up with cheesy an­ swers, too, like that Marilyn Monroe mod­ eled for the Statue of Liberty, and pirates pierce their ears beause they can.

The Solar Cir­ cus sound, "is hard to catego­ rize, " says lead guitarist, Mark Diomede. Diomede says, "our music is a cross between Phish and the Grateful Dead." Solar Circus is, "cosmic dance music, " says Diomede. Ever since the release of their first album, Six Pack, in 1987, their music, "reaches a wider audience," says Diomede. Con­ sidering that Diomede is the only original member of Solar Circus, he says, "we are now comfortable with our sound and plan to stay together." Though Solar Circus has played in Boone, this will be their first big show. After grow­ ing up and listening to The New Riders of the Purple Sage, Diomede looks forward to per­ forming with them.

The Lady Mountaineers were able to carry that momentum on to Wednes­ day night's match-up against Winthrop, winning in three straight games and propelling their season record to 4-7. "It was very important to us," coach Dave Markland remarked on the winning streak. "I think the girls were starting to lose their confidence." The first win of the UNC-A tournament came at the expense of Tennessee State. TSU proved to be little match for the Lady Mountaineers, losing 15-2, 15-3,15-11. Next up for the Lady Apps were the Lady Rat­ tlers of Florida A&M. Apparently, their rattle was a little tougher than their bite as the Lady Mountain­ eers put them away in three games 15-11,15-6,15-6. The toughest match for Appalachian may have come in the last contest, against the tournament hosts, UNC-A. The Lady Mountaineers won the first two games 15-9 and 15-13, but had to go to extra points in the final game to beat the Lady Bulldogs 16-14. With a three match winning streak under their belts, the squad returned to Varsity Gym Sept. 19 to take on Winthrop. The Lady Mountaineers proved once again to be up to the task, beating Winthrop in three straight games 15-3,15-9,15-6. Sheri Leverette played big for the Lady Mountaineeers, hammering down a match high, 18 kills with a .700 attack percentage. Stephanie Young chipped in with eight kills while Paula Levay had seven. Kathy Granack turned in another solid per­ formance at setter racking up 31 assists. Defensively, the Lady Apps were lead by Jennifer Rumfeldt and Amy Kolomechuk. Rumfeldt provided eight of the team's 10 solo blocks while Kolomechuk had a team high, 10 digs. With Appalachian now on a four match winning streak, the Lady Mountaineers are starting to show glimmers of last year's squad that went undefeated through the Southern Conference. Coach Markland, however, is slow to make such comparisons. "We try not to look at the past," Markland ex­ plained. "I think it's going to be a tough year. The conference itself is getting stronger." The Lady Mountaineers embark on defense of their Southern Conference crownFriday at 7:00 p.m., as tfiey take on Georgia Southern in Varsity Gym. TOO MANY SPOILSPORTS RUIN THE GAME We are about one-quarter through the fall sem 1995. Just at the right time for a pop quiz. Stop groaning. And don't bother taking out paD ike pencil, there's only one question at hand. Be hon yourself. Question: Do you laugh when Deion Sanders h steps 50 yards into the end zone, swiveling halfwav to watch his pursuers fall farther and farther behind?'f' l/T/ behavior simply candid, honest passion for the game^ Or are you disgusted by such theatrics, including self among those who don't see a place in sports for ebration and showboating? Wtl PERFORMANCE BREAKDOWN The first half of Saturday's Tennessee-Florida game shaping up to be one of the year's best match-ups. TW stomped out to a 23-7 lead — never a safe advantage^ J Coach Steve Spurrier's Gators at home, but maybe '^un to ensure a tight contest. That assumption proved weightless. Florida reeled, 48 straight points, on the way to a 62-30 win. Tennessf fans who had braved hostile elements (a Gator home cro" • and the spirit-sapping rain which began to fall during second half) might have screamed for release. Volunteer supporters also might have taken issue wiT" something that wasn't even related to the final score. In j third quarter, enjoying one of six straight scoring drives — Florida tailback turned the corner on a handoff and £ loped 20 yards for the touchdown. On the way he wa\« and pointed at Tennessee defensive players. For this action, the Gators were handed a penalty, whit p. was assessed on the ensuing kick-off. ^ u Miriam Sea/y goes up for a kill in ASU's 3-0 win over Winthrop. (photo by Shane Richardson) Lady Apps falter after good start Jason Somerville Reporter The Lady Mountaineer golf team got their season underway this past weeekend, playing in the Methodist College Invitational Tournament. The 10 team event proved challenging for the Lady Mountaineers, who ended up with a sixth place finish out of the 10 compet­ ing squads. The Mountaineers were fourth after the first round, with a total team score of 319, a mark that was just three strokes off of the school record for women's golf. Kelly Clements and Merryll McElwain paced the Lady Gridiron squad loses starter David Willis Assistant Sports Editor Brian Jean-Mary, a starting linebacker for the Mountaineers, underwent recon­ structive knee surgery in Boone on Mon­ day. Jean-Mary, from Apopka, Fla., started the last four games of the 1994 season, while Seeing action in all 13. He totaled 54 tack­ les and looked to be a major force on this year's squad, until an untimely preseason injury ended those dreams. The coaching staff hoped that surgery could be avoided and that he woud be able to play this year, but after a few weeks they realized that surgery was inevitable. Dr. Marc Cadyk of Boone did the surgery, which by all indi­ cations was successful . Jean-Mary received a medical redshirt from the NCAA and will still have two years of eligibility after this year. Good luck with rehabilitation! Jean-Mary xa Mountaineer squad in this first round, with both play­ ers posting scores of 77, strong marks for the open­ ing round of the season. Brittany Winterton also provided some support in the opening round with a score of 79, rounding out the top three for Appala­ chian After this strong first round, the outlook was very good for the team and both the players and Coach Bill Dicus expected a good last round finish. But the Mountaineers faltered in the second and third round of the tournament, posting a much higher score of 332, 13 strokes above their first round mark. The second round did , however, contain a ma­ jor highlight for the Lady Mountaineers. Meridyth Stanley shot the lowest single round of the tourna- ment for Appalachian , posting a 75 in her last round of play. The closest Mountaineer to her in the second round was Kelly Clements with an 82. The rest of the team was slightly farther behind. Coach Dicus commented that "we expected to do a little better in the second round, after our good performance in the first, we faltered a little, but overall, it was a pretty good beginning." The low finisher of the tournament for Appalachian was Kelly Clements, who finished 11th with a two round total of 159. Meridyth Stanley and Merryll McElwain also finished in the top 20, posting two round totals of 161and 163, respectively. The team returns to action October 6th at the Lady Kat Invitational at Kentucky, where the team looks to put together a good performance out on the blue grass. BACK IN MY DAY ... 4mJ The NCAA rule which punishes players for excess;: $ celebration and taunting is no different than other subje; £ five rules, like basketball's technical, or yellow and red cart 0 in soccer. Good intentions for sports is fine. It's the intti^ pretation of the rules which may need examining. College football referees appear to see the definite" of "taunting" through lenses of all shades. It could be tit' the season is too young. Football's zebras, invisible un; they disagree with us, have had but a few months to adjus to the rule. But does football even need this rule? Good intention ^ are one thing. Stifling the natural enthusiasm of an athles who is excited over a touchdown or interception is anothe (And believing that celebration is only acceptable after: score, or at the close of a game, is more than a litt/e t hypocritical.) Ordering a blanket over reactions (for the "sanctity an sportsmanship" of the game) is easy for a committee ofolc school men from a generation or generations past, whos; in a room to decide such things. Most films of college fa ball from the 1950s and '60s show fields full of hard-plai ing young men, going about their business in a grim stair scoring TD's and walking over to hand the pigskin toi Ref. Times have changed. And it raises the speculation: whether the NCAA is moving forward or sliding back. THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HMMM One more quiz question. How many times have yo. as a spectator in the home crowd or as a television viewe jumped to your feet to cheer a particular play? For a spot fan, this is a natural reaction, brief and spontaneous. t> one would presume to ask you to hold back. But those players actually participating in the gam surrounded by thousands of screaming voices, are suppose to maintain composure, to rein their emotions? Could ASU go l-A? Stephen Hensley Sports Editor Is Appalachian State's football team going to make the jump to the big time? The renovations to Kidd Brewer Stadium have started a host of rumors about the Moun­ taineers making the move to NCAA Division I-A status. "That is our eventual goal," reported Appalachian Athletic Di­ rector Roachel Laney. "But that is not in our immediate plans." Laney added that the current construction will give Kidd Brewer approximately the same seating it had before. However, a design is in the works that will give Appa­ lachian the opportunity to add on to the stadium in the future to give it the 30,000 seat capacity re­ quired of all Division I-A venues. There is much more to being a Division I-A program than just having a big stadium, though. Even though Appalachian State is ranked as one of the best squads at the Division I-AA level, the Mountaineers would struggle against other I-A foes. So for right now, the Appala­ chian State football team will stay in Division I-AA, but will do so with their eyes pointed towards the future. Kidd Brewer Stadium, in the midst of renovation will maintain the same capacity, for now.

Five Appalachian professors will work in conjunction with The University of Gnadsk in Poland to help them break from the former commu­ nist definition that a university is just ideological. Appalachian faculty mem­ bers involved in the program include Dr. Marvin Hoffman, associate profes­ sor of political science; Dr. Dennis Grady, chairperson of the political sci­ ence department; Dr. Max Thompson, associate dean of the political science department; Dr. Garry Cooper, assis­ tant professor of geography and plan­ ning and Dr. Rick Kirkpatrick, associ­ ate professor of economics. Appalachian was awarded a one-year, $112,000 grant by the U.S. Information Agency, which under­ writes cultural exchanges. "North Carolina has the strongest commitment to political city management than any other state in the U.S. and for the past 25 years, Appalachian has been on the forefront of city and county managers' training," said Hoffman. Hoffman, who also serves as the director of the program, said their objective is not to tell Gnadsk how to rural town governments. Hoffman returned last week from Gnadsk after interviewing and recommending 11 people to travelto the United States on Oct. 20. The visitors include four University of Gnadsk faculty members, six local gov­ ernment officials and the president of the regional assembly. During their month-long stay, the participants will learn how local governments operate and how local problems are aeait with on state dealt wun iroblems ational and national levels.

Open House is Planned for McKinney Alumni Center Appalachian State University's Alumni Association in­ vites all faculty and staff to an open house in the new McKinney Alumni Center Sept. 20 from 2 to 4 p.m. The 7,200-square-foot cen­ ter will serve as a campus home and gathering place for Appalachian alumni. About 450 university faculty and staff members are Appalachian alumni. The facility is located at the entrance of campus on Blowing Rock Road and houses the offices for alumni affairs and Appalachian's Foundation. "We are very proud of this facility. We feel this is history in the making to be the first privately funded building on campus," said Barbara Burgin, alumni affairs direc­ tor. "It willserve as a great gath­ ering place, a place to return to and call home. We hope faculty and staff will consider it home, too," she said. The center honors the late Sam and Virginia McKinney, both 1933 Appalachian graduates, who donated initial funds for such a facil­ ity. Since the early 1990s, alumni have raised donations to pay for the $1.5 million project. "I think this is just the be­ ginning of what they can do for the entire institution," Burgin said. Burgin said the center will be open a couple hours prior to each home football game. It will also serve as a welcome center to campus visi­ tors.

' 1 - Gore fc ran The Accuracy and Public Service since 1936 opinion... Our_ Where are our priorities? Appalachian State University is growing and im­ proving in leaps and bounds. These two terms "growing" and "improving" - are synonymous, aren't they? Surely they must be, for that is what we see happening on our campus, and why else would so much money be spent on expanding our campus if not to make it better? Some projects are quite obviously being built in order to better our university academically. The math and science building, for instance, is quite necessary considering Appalachian's growth in enrollment year after year. Even the Appalachian Convocation Cen­ ter has classroom space built into it for the Health, Leisure and Exercise Science department. The need for these things is not in dispute. How­ ever, Appalachian's priorities are. Why is our uni­ versity receiving millions of dollars to complete these projects while receiving next to nothing to improve our library which so desperately needs improvement? Funding for both the math and science complex and the ACC is provided by the General Assembly of North Carolina. Appalachian simply sent a report to the Assembly, which reviewed the request, and made allowances in the budget for certain amounts of money which had to be used for those specific projects. For example, Appalachian sent a request to the Assembly for money to build the ACC. The Assembly's reply was an allowance of over $10 mil­ lion. Priorities of Appalachian come into question. 6ther schools in the UNC system have seen the lack of funds the General Assembly allows for libraries in the 'earmarked' UNC budget. For this academic year, the total amount allotted for libraries was ap­ proximately $3.2 million. This amount was then di­ vided between the 16 schools in the UNC system. UNC Asheville has nearly doubled the size of its library through the same process by which we ob­ tained funding for the ACC. They asked the General Assembly for the money in 198&, and have just com­ pleted the project this year. Wasn't this money bet­ ter spent for the good of the students of the school? UNC Wilmington, a school with an enrollment of 8,600 students, has a library with as much usable space as our entire library, 140,000 square feet. We, however, need a library that will serve at least 4,000 more students; a number that is growing every year. The ACC should not be the first priority for Ap­ palachian at this time. Granted, the money is al­ ready given and must be used. It also may be true that libraries are not the "big money" campus attrac­ tions which draw students to a school. However, our university was growing in applicants before the ACC was approved, and though its construction has not even begun, we are turning down amazing num­ bers of applicants who want to attend this school; apparently with or without a huge basketball arena. Meanwhile, students who do enter ASU are hav­ ing a harder time with the library's limited dimen­ sions. With no financial help in the UNC budget cre­ ated by the General Assembly, our administration needs to ask for special funding for the library more than ever.

Q u e s t i o n i n g A n i t a Hill's credibility The creation and motives of the 'Bosa Parks of Sexual Harassment' John Nolte Columnist In the Old South a black man was kept from obtain­ ing power by first portraying him as ignorant. Further refusal to conform resulted in a whipping, and finally the stubborn man was lynched and his remains left as an ex­ ample to discourage further thought of dissent and guar­ antee the status quo. Let me tell you a story. In October of 1991 an intelligent and compassionate Clarence Thomas was on his way to becoming a Supreme Court Justice. Frustrated Democrats, unable to intellec­ tually defeat him, felt threatened by his conservatism. Hav­ ing lost their southern voters to Reagan, it was clear that if any fraction of their loyal black base defected, the party as we know it today would no longer exist. Thomas' ef­ fect on black voters was a threat to the liberal establish­ ment and so-called civil rights groups who'd stopped rep­ resenting "all" people of color to become the "toadies" of the Democratic party. Using the tactics of the old South­ ern bigot, they set out to stop an independent black man from assuming power. First they stated that his lack of judicial experience made him too "ignorant" for this position. But dozens of Justices, including Earl Warren, had even less experience and no one questioned them. Still, no member of any socalled civil rights group protested a black man being singled out for this stereotypical question of intelligence.

Feminism; A disappointing concep Angela Brady Editor-in-Chief John Lane Managing Editor When this didn't work, black liberals questioned the judge s "blackness" and accusations of him being an "Uncle Tom were used to "whip" his spirit. Still Thomas never weak­ ened. It was time to get a rope and her name was Anita. In an act of cowardice, Anita Hill had made anony­ mous 10-year-old charges against Thomas of the worst kind of harassment. Thomas was told of her accusations, but to the left's astonishment, he refused to withdraw. So her story was leaked to the media, and what Thomas himself de­ scribed as a "high tech lynching of an uppity black man began. We were told to believe that a Yale law graduate, after being harassed, followed her harasser from job to job for years, and after working together made numerous social phone calls, sent congratulations when he married, and even drove him to the airport. But then we were also told she was a Republican and had no political motives. Yet in February of 1992 on "60 Minutes" she told a speechless Ed Bradley she was a Democrat. "Newsday" later confirmed she was registered as one. Originally, Hill told the FBI that she had only one wit­ ness to corroborate her story until much to "her" astonish­ ment she was approached by three people who "reminded" her they, too, could corroborate. Her first witness was a judge who said in a sworn statement that in the spring of 1981 Hill complained of being harassed by Thomas. Hill had yet to even work for Thomas in the spring of '81. A corporate lawyer and a university professor both claimed Hill had told them of being harassed by her "supervisor." Calling the chairman of the Equal Employment Opportu­ nity Commission a supervisor is like calling the chancellor of Appalachian a manager. But both men said they were sure she meant Thomas. Yet both had opportunities in their professions to go on the record against this man they sup­ posedly knew was an harasser, but did not. The final wit­ ness couldn't swear it was Thomas. What the mainstream media never reported was that a supervisor of Hill's had been fired by Thomas after com­ plaints by staff members of lewd conduct and unwanted advancements. He also had an office next to Hill. Hill herself said of sexual harassers, "This is not an issue of one victim, this is a behavior." Yet her charges don't hold up to her own profile of a typical case. After five FBI, and God knows how many newspaper investigations, she Welcome to yet another potentially exciting year at Appalachian! In the Student Government Association, the past few weeks have been very busy. After being here all summer, preparing and organizing for this year, I must say it is great to see things being set into motion. This summer, both Robyn Martin, SGA vice-president, and I were successful in putting into action some of the changes we saw necessary to make sure SGA is reaching you. (We hope that it will be easier for you to voice your concerns and opinions more conveniently with the use of our new E-mail address: SGA@conrad.appstate.edu.) We have also been meeting with university administrators to start ful­ filling our platform goals for this year. I was very pleased by the student turnout for the Jeni Gray Walk for Awareness on Sept. 5th. This was the kickoff event for SGA's Public Safety Awareness Week, which included a safety forum, informational booths on bike safety, self-defense classes, and the National Clothesline Project, which displayed shirts made by victims of domes­ tic violence. Our goal for that week was to raise aware­ ness about safety on- and off-campus at the start of the school year, since it is such an important issue. We realize, however, that this one week is not nearly enough. We have to continue to work to prevent violence and promote safe behavior on campus, since Boone is not a safe haven from crime. To help with this, SGA provides the Mountaineer Escort service to students so that they don't have to walk alone. It is our hope that students will use this service frequently, starting Sept. 20th. (Call Mountaineer Escort at 262-6438.) Most recently, we finished the elections for Senate off and on-campus representatives. I was very impressed by the initial involvement. We had candidates running from each residence hall (except Bowie), and 44 candidates for offcampus. Unfortunately, their were not as many willing voters as willing representatives, and some of the candidates did not receive the 25 votes they needed to be elected. Therefore, there are 14 on-campus and 10 off-campus seats open, which can be filled by petitioning for 100 signatures from the specific constituency. It is my hope that these seats will be filled as soon as possible so that we have maximum repre­ sentation of all constituents on campus. Without that com­ plete input, the Student Senate is unable to make deci­ sions that accurately reflect the views of students on this campus.

Ask any child which of their parents is stronger and they will say "Daddy." Then ask which one cooks better and they will probably say "Mommy." These things may very well be true, but it is natural for them to learn these responses from television and through observing adults' interaction. If you look in the baby section of any department store, you will see sports as a theme for the little boys' things. The girls' merchandise will show "feminine" things like butterflies, teddy bears, hearts or flowers. Boys' toys emphasize physical activity like baseball, while the girls' toys encour­ age them to dress up or pretend to cook. There is a problem here.

Because there are women in every el­ ement of life, they face multiple hurdles. Anita Hill, for example, is disliked for many reasons. She is educated, African-American and a woman. It doesn't matter that this dislike is brought about by fear. Because she is a part of several oppressed groups, she has a longer ladder to climb to get to that glass ceiling which feminists call equality. It is when a woman is judged by her merit, not her gender, that femi­ nism will no longer be a necessary springboard from which women go forth in life, striving to be treated equally in all areas of life.

What is Watauga College? It was created in 1972 when Appalachian became a state supported school and was beginning to grow beyond its "small college" reputation. Watauga College was organized for those incoming students who wanted the smaller atmosphere of a residential college (yes, they live with the people they go to class with). It also offers an interdisciplinary approach to classes. The classes are taught by overlapping certain courses. World history and English are in a combined curriculum so that after one year, the students have completed the classes comparable to those that a freshman would have gone through in the regular curriculum. The classes are no different than traditional classes, in that they are taught by a professor in a classroom. However, the approach taken to the concepts taught in class is what separates Watauga College from the normal curriculum at Appalachian. Teachers don't confine subjects to one particular discipline; they cross boundaries. Watauga College Director David Huntley says, "We produce thinkers. They use their knowledge and come to conclusions based on their own thoughts, not by what the teacher says." Huntley describes the average Watauga student as having a curious nature. "They are here for what students should be here for - to learn as much as they can," says Huntley. Haverly Rauen, a sophomore from Knoxville, Tenn. says, "Personally, I think Watauga is the best thing that 1 have done in college so far. The community and way of learning is ideal - at least for me." Watauga College is not only a freshman experience. To graduate from this college officially (an honors program including a gold seal on the diploma), a student must fill several requirements. One of these requirements is freshman and sophomore Chatauqua. Chatauqua, a one credit-hour course that meets at Legends on Wednesday afternoons, serves as a time for all Wataugans to come together and listen to announcements while getting to know one another. This meeting, referred to by Bud Gerber, a professor of Watauga College, as a "cultural massage," includes talent shows, plays, bands and other special events. Landon Pratt, a junior from Kingsport Tenn., who graduated from Watauga College added, I liked Watauga because instead of always getting factual information, the learn­ ing is more conceptually centered." To graduate, students must fulfill 24 credit hours, which are taught in the basement of East Hall, Some other courses, similar to electives, include the Beatnik Generation, Fractals, Women's Spiritual Journey, Performing Art, and Experience Appalachia! Jessica Bono, a Watauga sophomore from Waxhaw, said, "Watauga is kind of scary, but it gave me a great feeling of accomplishment." Another Wataugan, Christian Leplin, a sophomore from Greensboro, said, "It's like high school on a college level; sheltered and ultra-communal. But the classes are rigorous and the professors are diligent." While Watauga College may not conform to many traditional views of college, it offers many new ideas as to how students should be taught. Although the experience may not be everyone's cup of tea, it certainty offers a new approach for many new students. Watauga College is located on the back of East Hall, (photo by Robert Parriott) At the beginning of every new aca­ demic year, a batch of new and return­ ing students arrive on campus. For the new, there are questions like "How am 1 going to do here?" and "Wili I miss home?" For the returning, thoughts such as "Will I be able to handle every­ thing as well as I did last year?" or "Am I going to have to face that person 1 ticked off?" come to mind. It happens to every student when school starts: anxiety and stress. Whether we realize it or not, we all have some kind of stress dumped on us be­ cause of school, particularly at the be­ ginning of the year. Everyone stresses over the classes they have, assignments, getting involved or getting out and meeting people. Many freshmen also find homesickness a huge problem. Often, students deal with their anxiety by talking to someone, calling home, lis­ tening to music or exercising. Some stu­ dents, however, choose unhealthy ways of dealing with stress, such as drug or alcohol use, missing class, or staying she! tered from others. Sophomore Jana Moose of Hamptonville, N.C. experienced the anxi­ ety of coming back early in the year. She stated that everything was fine, "until the first day of class." All of the new situations and oppor­ tunities seemed to be too much for her roommate, who abruptly packed up and left after classes ended that day. Moose's time alone drove her nuts. She had so much to think about, but no one to talk to about it. Soon, she became homesick, which compounded her stress. To relieve her anxiety, Moose got out more, talked to friends and kept busy, all of Everyone stresses over the classes they have, assignments, getting involved or getting out and meeting people. which helped her tremendously. Freshmen tend to experience many of the same kinds of eties, the bulk of which is attributed to homesickness, as freslr Erin Poage attested. She started missing her home in San Ann Texas after a short while. She handled the stress by "(making)» be outgoing and (hanging) out with the friends I've met." Ait freshman, Mike O'Neal, saw a problem immediately upon arrivf school: making friends. "If you're from out of state, it's hard t anyone who's even remotely near where you're from," he said. Hi take long for O'Neal to start meeting people, which alleviated his: ety. Dr. Donald Sanz of the Appalachian Counseling and Psychs, cal Services Center says anxiety is extremely common at the sir the year. The anxiety differs between new and returning studs Both groups share the problems of meeting and achieving expt tions, academic life, social life, and leaving friends and loved o Returning students stress over the changing environment of sc when they move, as well as their major and course selections.' students deal with pressures connected with leaving home, sue living in a new environment and missing parents.

Apps down Aggie, Tailback Damon Scott leads the way to victory over North Carolina A&T David Willis Assistant Sports Editor Appalachian State University's football team got off to its best start since 1988 with a dramatic 38-31 win over North Carolina A8tT Saturday afternoon at Aggie Stadium. Behind a touchdown with 0:15 seconds re­ maining in the fourth quarter, A&T took over the ball at its own 46. Looking for a big play like the 55 yard touchdown reception it got from Cedric Combo just over a minute before, ASU defensive linemen Jason Hatcher and Shawn Elliot sacked Aggie quarterback Maseo Bolin and held on for the win. The Mountaineers came out of the gate with a full head of steam as they capitalized on their first possession of the game. Keyed by full­ back Aldwin Lance, the Apps moved the ball 81 yards in 8 plays, including a 20-yard TD reception by Lance, putting ASU up 7-0. Following a stalled drive by the Aggies, the Mountaineers mounted an 89 yard touchdown drive lea by the combined running of Scott Satterfield, Damon Scott, and Lance. On the 13th play of the drive, Scott went up the middle for two yards and the TD. The Apps lead in­ creased to 14-0. The Aggies were not going to surrender as they mounted a drive of their own. Led by QB Maseo Bolin, A&T passed its way down the field for 72 yards and the touchdown. Tight end Carlos Baldwin found a seam up the middle for a 14-yard catch for the score. The Aggies were the first team this season to score on ASU in the first half. The lead was now 147. The Mountaineers, not happy with the seven point lead, continued their offensive at­ tack, this time led by the running of Damon Scott. After tallying 67 yards on the drive, Scott increased the Apps lead with a one yard scor­ ing run. The Mountaineers added a Jay Sutton 26-yard field goal to go ahead 24-7 at the half. Appalachian's rushing attack was virtu­ ally unstoppable in the first half, recording 236 yards on 33 carries. Damon Scott led the way with 148 yards on 15 carries. The Mountaineers have outscored their oppo­ nents 70-7 in the first half this season, but have not enjoyed the same luxury in the second half. For the third consecutive game, the App de­ fense gave up a touchdown on their opponents opening second half drive. The Aggies relied on the running of Milton Shaw, who gained 64 yards on three carries. Lafaunte Smith ended the drive with a one yard run and the Aggies second score of the day. After a bad snap on the PAT, ASU led 24-13. The Mountaineer offense however, stalled in the third quarter until defensive back Jamie Coleman intercepted a pass and went 80 yards for the score, but a holding penalty brought the ball back to the A&T 43. Five plays later, the Apps would score their first points of the half on an eight yard Scott run. The Moun­ taineers led 31-13 with 1:54 left in the quarter. Following an A&T field g0al App drive, the Aggies moved tufl Keyed by a controversial pass interf^| against Marvin Hodge on fourth the Aggiess scored again on a n from one yard out with 11:02 left ° The ASU lead was cut to 31-24 'n!'

On Sept. 25, Jacqueline Greene will start her new job as nurse practitioner. According to Dr. William Derrick, director of the Infirmary, a nurse practitioner will be able to do the same things as a doctor. With three doctors on staff, this will allow more students to be seen more efficiently. Nurse practitioners are allowed to examine, diagnose and prescribe medication for any patient, except in cases of cancer or heart conditions. "Waiting time is a big issue," said Derrick. He says that this year is better than last year as far as waiting time goes. On the average, most students wait around 25 min­ utes, Derrick said. At 10 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. the Infirmary has its biggest rush. "Normally between the nurses and the doctor, I've been here a long time," said Tracy Rogers, senior. "With a new nurse prac­ titioner, it would be faster." "To get to the nurses it usually takes a long time," said Jennifer Sopel, junior, "but when you're sick, it seems to take a really long time." Health services sees between 250300 students daily. Each doctor sees approxi­ mately 40-60 students a day. Dr. Derrick said many college infir­ maries are run by nurse practitioners. Furman University's infirmary is run by a nurse practitioner, and UNC Charlotte's infir­ mary was run by a nurse practitioner until a doctor was hired this year. this Construction delays force offoad work blocks campus students into hotels 10 parking spaces Pam Griffin Reporter Some off-campus students who are renting from the Winkler Organization are having to live in a hotel. The students, who are supposed to be living in Steeplechase Apartments, have been provided temporary accommodations in High Country Inn and Graystone Lodge. The apartments, located on Wood Circle near the intersection of Highways 421 and 105, were scheduled to be built by Aug. 21.

(Photo by Shane Richardson) Many faculty members voiced their opinions about the new fee for faculty to use the Quinn and Mt. Mitchell Fitness Centers at Monday night's Faculty Senate meeting. "We do not resent the magnitude of the fee," said Dr. Howard Neufeld, associate professor of biology. "It is just the way it was handled." He said many faculty members did not like the fact that it was proposed against their wishes and also that the "go-ahead" came from higher up. Most of the members felt therevenues generated from the fee would not make a difference in student fees. He also said faculty salaries at Appa­ lachian are not as high as at other universi­ ties, so any benefits could help faculty moral and also help them to stay healthy. "It is something the university should supply," said Neufeld. He said the Hubbard Center is paid for by state funds for the faculty to use. Al­ though students paid for the Quinn Center to be built, Neufeld still felt the Quinn should be Ppalachian is published »i,h ,upper, r,„m Appalachian's Ccnie, fo, S.uden, l„,„lvcme„, and Leadership. 0„, offices are loaned „„ ,he second to, included as part of faculty benefits. Last spring, Dr. Howard Dorgan pre­ dicted the fee would cause conflict between faculty and students. "It is pushing us into a confrontation with students," he said. "I do think student fees are too high, but this is not the way to solve the problem." Neufeld said some of the faculty senate members have participated in events in order to protest the rising of student fees. The rally which took place in Raleigh on May 4 is just one of those examples. "We are very concerned about stu­ dent fees," said Neufeld. Nina-Jo Moore, associate professor of communications, said that although the fee is not a major issue, she does not like the idea. "There are very few perks for faculty on cam­ pus as it is," said Moore. Dr. Vaughn Christian, chair of the Health, Leisure and Exercise Science depart­ ment, felt the fee was reasonable. "I do know of other universities who have to pay more money to use their gym," said Christian. Harvey Durham, provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs, said he would look into the possibility of the university off­ setting the cost of the fee. For now, however, the fee is still in place.

"It was disappointing to come up to Boone and not know ex­ actly when we are going to move into our apartment," said Jennifer Danielson, sophomore. Meredith Claxton, also a sophomore, said, "The five percent discount does not even cover expenses for a week." Winkler has been extremely sensitive toward the situation of the tenants. She said she knows it has been tough on the students. "It is the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with to have to tell the students the apartments are still not finished," said Winkler. For now, the tenants said they are fortunate to have clean, com­ fortable accommodations. They have access to a restaurant and pool at the hotels. The phones in the rooms can be hooked up to answering machines as well. "The tenants have been pre­ cious to work with and are very un­ derstanding, said Winkler. "I praise them for that."

"What we have to learn is that we have a system in Washington that allows it (sexual harassment) to happen," said Hill. "People are turn­ ing their backs and justice is not be­ ing served." Hill concluded her speech by saying that she wishes to see the prob­ lem of sexual harassment end in her lifetime. She said it was up to this generation to put a stop to sexual ha­ rassment before the next generation has to suffer the effects as well.

Meister Selected for ASCAP Award Dn Scott Meistep professor of music at Appalachian State University, has received a 1995-96 ASCAP Award. ASCAI) die American Soci­ ety of Composers, Authors and Pub­ lishers, is a licensing agency which collects royalties paid by individuals, musical groups, radio stations and oth­ ers for the right to play or perform ASCAP licensed works. Meister, an ASCAP member for more than 20 years, said the award was designed to honor composers whose music is not normally heard on commercial outlets, such as radio or television. The cash award "reflects our continuing commitment to assist and encourage writers of serious music," according to Marilyn Bergman, presi­ dent and chairman of the board of ASCAP "They (the awards) are granted by an independent panel and are based upon the unique prestige value of each writer's cata­ log of original compositions as well as recent performances of those works in areas not surveyed by the Society." Meister has written com­ positions for percussion, band, voice, chorus, bassoon and orches­ tra. His most recent work, "Higaz," was premiered this spring by Appalachian's University Sym­ phony. He was commissioned to write a piece commemorating the opening of Broyhill Music Center in 1983 and has been commis­ sioned to write works for high school bands. He has also written works for members of the School of Music faculty. Many of his more than 100 compositions have been per­ formed in Japan, Puerto Rico, Eu­ rope, Amsterdam and the United States.

Tak© an activ© role to make campus your own Last year, students across campus voiced their opinions on everything from "A" to "Z"; but especially "A". The ACES controversy upset many students on campus, but it did serve a useful purpose, as well. The controversy served to get more students in­ volved in campus politics and campus issues than tiny other in recent history. That involvement car­ ried over into SGA elections, resulting in a large voter turnout and results so close they called for a runoff. The results of the runoff made some students happy, jsome students sad, but all students had something •to be proud of. I he fact that so many students got involved in campus politics should make it clear to students that they have a voice on this campus which deserves to be heard. Students should not sit back and think that since they got involved last year, their duty is done, and they can go back to being apathetic, think­ ing that things will take care of themselves. Robyn Martin, SGA Vice President, says that last year's controversy has, so far, made for great partici­ pation with SGA. "The controversy last year made people want to get involved," Martin said. We at The Appalachian certainly hope that is true. SGA president, Darby Weaver, said that voter turn­ out for off-campus senators was good "for off-cam­ pus." Approximately 200 people voted. Not a high number when compared to the number of off-cam­ pus students at Appalachian, but Weaver contends that it is a pretty high number when compared to voter turnout of the past. Turnout for on-campus senators was good "in some residence halls," according to Weaver. How­ ever, it still left 10 seats open. Students need not feel that since they have elected the president and vice president, their jobs are done. Weaver and Martin stressed in their cam­ paigning a desire for an open-door policy with stu­ dents, and maintain that that is still their goal. "Our office hours will be posted on our doors this week, said Martin. "Students can come and talk to us any time." Martin said that if a student has a concern and knows which area it falls under (i.e. Academic Affairs, etc.), he or she may go directly to the chairperson of that committee. If a student has a concern and is not sure who to address it to, Martin says he or she can simply come to the SGA offices and talk to anyone there. Martin says she or anyone else in the office will be happy to direct your con­ cerns to the appropriate person. At a time when the campus political climate is so tenuous, students need to take measures to ensure their voices are heard. They can do that by using the student government which they put in office. By voicing your concerns to your elected repre­ sentatives you can This campus does not need to be in the midst of a crisis for students to get involved in what is going on around us. There are plenty of concerns which can be addressed, and perhaps they can be taken care of before they become major crises.

Newspaper's ban unconstitutiori: •Nebraska coach violates school newspaper's rights e* Ken Larking Editorials Editor Last week, Nebraska football coach Tom Osborne banned reporters from the Daily Nebraskan, the school's newspaper, from covering the team's practices. His reason for doing this, he says, is because the paper published two editorial cartoons criticizing certain members of the team. Osborne felt that the paper's presence would distract the team. Osborne argued that covering the practices was a privi­ lege and not a right. Only after several school officials criticized Osborne's decision did he lift the ban. Osborne's ban on the school newspaper was a viola­ tion of the First Amendment. The First Amendment out­ lines the freedom of the press. The Daily Nebraskan had every right to attend the practices. In a similar case, argued before the Supreme Court, a reporter was denied access to the White House because he had written some critical articles about that see First Amendment page 5 Marijuana should be legalize! •'Drug's medical and commercial benefits outweigh the drawback Terri Butler Columnist One of the most controversial issues in the '90s is whether the cannabis or hemp plant, more commonly known as marijuana, should be legalized. Presently, doctors and physicians all across the United States are working toward proving to the Drug Enforce­ ment Agency (DEA) and the President the medical benefits marijuana has for hun­ dreds of critically ill patients. Since 1978, 36 states have had physicians' approval for the use of marijuana because it treats nau­ sea, pain, muscle spasms, and stimulates appetite. It can also be used to alleviate symptoms of glaucoma, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), multiple scle­ rosis, migraine headaches, and the effects of chemotherapy on cancer patients. But legal, bureaucratic, and financial obstacles are in the physicians' way, no standards of studies or experiments can be done which would pacify the DEA. Since no marijuana can be obtained legally and the government will not grant any researchers' permission to use the drug in their studies, no research can be done. Although, the 1988 DEA's own law Judge, Francis Young, concluded, marijuana is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man." Even with the remark­ able safety of marijuana because it is less likely to become addictive than most prescribed drugs, less subject to abuse, and the fact that there is not one documented case of le­ thal marijuana overdose, the DEA still will not listen to pleas of physicians, and the hundreds of Americans who need marijuana for medical reasons. In 1990, oncologists across the United States were sur­ veyed and 44 percent of the doctors admitted they had suggested smoking marijuana to their cancer patients even though marijuana is illegal. Studies in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), who support the medicinal use of marijuana, feel the medical uses far out­ weigh the supposed harmful effects of recreational use. If marijuana is truly as harmful as the government puts on to the public, doctor recommendations for use of the drug would be unthinkable. But because Bill Clinton is reluc­ tant to support a study that could lead to accusations of supporting an illegal drug, no studies are taking place and Although polls have indicated that the vast majority of Americans think marijuana should be medically available, government officials and the DEA still refuse to acknowledge the tremendous variety of uses for the plant. severely ill patients continue to use the drug illegally. AIDS sufferers support the medicinal use of marijuana because it replaces the prescription drug Marinol. Marinol contains tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which is present in marijuana and stimulates the appetites of the patients. But Marinol causes such a mental incapacity that the AIDS suf­ ferers are unable to think straight. AIDS patients are quoted in JAMA as saying, "Smoking marijuana is easier, cheaper, and does not cause the mental incapacity Marinol Residence halls lack disciplim The Appalachian welcomes letters to the editor.

Convocation speaker doesn't have much to say To the Editor: I was one of the many students that was, more or less, "forced" to go to Convocation on Thursday. I re­ member thinking, "If this man speaks as well as he plays jazz piano, then I am in for a real treat." Well, the sweet treat turned sour Convocation morn­ ing. The reason was the so-called 'speech" by author and award win­ ning musician, Dr. Billy Taylor. This "speech", to put it tactfully, was poor at best. Dr. Taylor, whose talk was to be on jazz as a metaphor to American culture, really just stood and rambled on about everything ex;ept that topic for 25 minutes. Now I am not a communication major, but I do know a little about speaking and speeches. I know that preparation is the first step, and keeping the focus of the subject is second. Dr. Taylor id not even have a speech prepared, nuch less stay on the subject!! Yes, Dr. Taylor talked about inluences in his life, and how we as individuals can make a difference. It's not that these topics are inappropri­ ate, but the University could have got­ ten a student out of the communica­ tions department to speak on these subjects, and saved the school's money in the process!! Oh, I'm sorry, he did say one thing about jazz and Ameri­ can Culture. To paraphrase: Jazz im­ provisation is like democracy in America in that they both express free­ dom. Gee, I could have said that. The one question I have is this: Do you think Dr. Taylor, having been to the White House five times, would have rambled to the President as he did to our faculty and students? Well, I think you know my answer. Lastly, I would like to say to the Administra­ tion that before they spend hard earned bucks on Convocation speak­ ers, to at least make sure these speak­ ers have the decency to prepare some­ thing to say. Jason White ASU Box 14103 Praise for editorials To the Editor: I am a senior and also a member of the ASU Track team. I have been reading The Appalachian for three years now and I must say that I en­ joyed last Thursday's paper above all others. The Editorial pages were the reason. Never before have there been so many issues nor have there been so many vocal people on campus. I think that it is wonderful that people are so aware of what is going on. Jon Austin ASU Box 18743 Student thinks teachers deserve a break To the Editor: As a student here at Appalachian, my expectation for the future is a job. I will be paid for the work I do as well as for the knowledge base acquired through my education. I have to question the reasoning of the recent decision and subsequent article "Faculty forced to pay own way." Why? Historically, students would pay to come to work through parking fees. Perhaps they should pay rent on the classrooms in which they teach. Given the current political climate in Raleigh, the mean-spirited decision to make faculty pay fees to use the Quinn Center and other facilities can only create animosity and low morale. Budget cuts have reached everyone. However, this student's fees were not lowered as a result of faculty being "Forced to pay own way." The article claimed that students were for this decision.

It's a good place for them to go during a long break.' -Sonja Davis, Senior -Clark Short, Senior administration. The Supreme Court ruled that the reporter's rights were violated because the denial was dis­ criminatory. Excluding the Daily Nebraskan from practices represents a discriminatory denial of access to a reporter and is therefore unconstitu­ tional. Osborne violated the newspaper's First Amendment rights in another way: he attempted to keep the press from getting the news. A recent court ruling stated, "The news-gathering ac­ tivities of the press are also constitu­ tionally protected under the First Amendment, because the 'right to pub­ lish the news would be of little value in the absence of sources from which to obtain it."' According to this, the school newspaper hits the right to go to practices since news-gathering is protected by the Constitution. One of the cartoons is a represen­ tation of receiver Riley Washington playing football in a prison uniform and a ball and chain. He has been charged with attempted murder, but remains on the team. The other cartoon satirized run­ ning back Lawerence Phillips in a car with a license plate reading "Phillips" and money coming out of the back. His relationship with a sports agent was recently investigated by the NCAA. These cartoons were simply parody, and are protected by the Con­ stitution. Phillips was arrested during the weekend, along with fellow running back Damon Benning, for allegedly assaulting women. Subsequently, Osborne cut Phillips from the team. In addition, split end Reggie Baul received six months probation for credit card theft, cornerback Tyrone Williams has been charged with shooting at a moving car, and defensive tackle Christian Peter was convicted of sexual assault and is in­ volved in another sexual assault case. It seems that the Daily Nebraskan was right on target by criticizing the team. And, it seems Osborne fi­ nally realized that it was not the Daily Nebraskan that was distracting team, it was certain players. So Coach Osborne, before you blame the team's problems on somebody else, make sure your problems aren't the team. Residence Halls Continued from page 4 than likely the student went to Judi­ cial Affairs, and if he was found guilty or in violation, he was probably put on probation. Now, I am used to pro­ bation meaning that if you get in trouble again, they pretty much call Wyatt Earp in. So what happens if a student who is on probation gets in trouble again? The student is more than likely put on spe­ cific proba­ tion. As the story goes, if you get one more violation once you are on specific probation you are removed from the residence halls. But, like I said earlier, I have never seen someone re­ moved from the residence halls, though I have seen some people break most all of the violations. I guess if using probation some of the time is good, then using it all the time is great. Fm not saying we need to turn the residence halls into some kind of Puritan war camp. I recognize that some leniency is a fair thing, given the fact that most college students are young, and if anything like me, make a lot of mistakes. But if college is sup­ posed to prepare people for the "real" world (a phrase I hate) then shouldn't college at least re­ semble it?

"Yes, they should pay because $4 a month is not unreasonable." -Meredith McCarroll, Sophomore c a m p u s resident, I wish that the univer­ sity could make get­ ting into trouble a little bit more trouble, in some hope that we could make the halls feel more like a home and less like a place I have to live.

The station hopes the ange will appeal to a greater number of stu­ nts. Jonathan Mauney, The App's general maner, is looking forward to the new format and ogramming changes. He spent part of the mmer studying the operations of several mmercial stations and hopes to translate )se ideas into success on campus. "Our number one goal is to increase (tenership by playing music people want to ar. We feel that an alternative format will lp us reach this goal," says Mauney. The format features a rotation of songs current popular bands such as Silverchair, annis Morrissette and Filter. This playlist is ppered with a host of specialty shows covng jazz, country, rap, reggae, industrial, iavy metal, classical, Christian, and new sic from independent labels. Jason Huddle hosts a morning show on ekdays featuring his unique, humorous spin the world. His motto is: "If you have to go class anyway, you may as well have some The App also covers sports and news, injding call-in talk shows and live coverage of palachian football and basketball home [mes. The station is kicking off the year with |ily give aways of CD's, t-shirts and tickets to a concerts. The App gave away 30 tickets (Widespread Panic in Raleigh last week, and iving away tickets to Better Than Ezra this ek. They are also giving out four guest ses for every live show at The Klondike Cafe |s year. The App plans on working with Stu­ nt Programs as well as The Appalachian to p students informed of shows and events. Students response to the new format has n very good. Shannon Willard, a freshman it Winston-Salem, says, "It's great. They stuff you don't hear much on regular comcial stations." "I like the music better this year," says AnOwen, a senior from Boone. "I listen to m more than I have in the past." Mauney says, "My staff and I are very exd about the coming year, and we've worked I y hard to mold the station into something I ryone at Appalachian can enjoy. There are II opportunities to get involved, and we wel|ie all comments about the station." j The station, which operates under the call rs WASU, is in its 23rd year of operation, a public station fully licensed by the FCC, gives students hands-on experience in all as of radio broadcasting. Anyone interested olunteering can contact The New 90.5 FM 62-3170. Roy Reuter cues up another song at The App, the new WASU, located on the third floor of Wey Hall. WASU did more than change their name this year, they changed their format as well. (Photo by Ken Larking) 'of many jammys at jammy jam "I can never find the books I need." "Why don't they have my favorite magazine subsciption?" "The library stinks!" These are all phrases we hear quite often about the li­ brary here at Appalachian. The library has a bulletin board beside the circulation desk that is always full of com­ plaints about the availability of material. Why are so many students complaining? One of the reasons that some students are complaining and having such a hard time finding their material is because many of them do not know how to use what the library has to offer. According to library staff member John Yantiss, "I really feel like a lot of the com­ plaints students make are things that they could solve themselves, like learning the dif­ ferent location codes. That would be a tre­ mendous help." Belk Library has several different codes that are put in tront ot tne call numoers on a book to help students locate the item. For example, a code of "Main Stacks" means the book is located in the library's circulating col­ lection on the third floor. For students who do not know what the codes mean there are posters up all over the library outlining the different meanings. Any library employee also will be able to answer students' ques­ tions. Appalachian senior Monica Wakefield says about the staff, "Over the past four years I've used this library more than I care to re­ member, but every time I come here I am pleased with the courteous, energetic, dedi­ cated and thorough help I recieve." Dr. Mary Reichel, university librarian, says that starting soon, the Computer Assisted Instruction previously done through the His­ tory Department will be done through the English Department. Students will be re­ quired to write a short research paper with materials gathered from the library. This will help to farmiliarize students with the differ­ ent rescources available and how to use them. Another fact that students must take into consideration is that the library is severly un­ derstaffed according to the American Library Association (ALA)'s recommended library staff-to-library faculty ratio. The ALA recommends that for every fac­ ulty member the library employs there should be at least three staff members of the library to help that faculty member. Here at Appala­ chian however, for every faculty member there is only one staff member to help them. For Belk Library to come up to ALA standards 22 more staff members would have to be hired. This is impossible right now because of a lack of funding to hire more employees. Dr. Reichel, who has worked at five dif- see t— LIBRARY page 9 — Students show up, but PJ's don't i innifer Speiss hporter Legends had a Pajama Jammy Jam SaturSept. 9 after the football game.

Let us know, 'all Clay at 262-3104 (f Moview Review m The library has received some criticism for the inconvenience caused by its new layout, but are working to improve the situation. Steven Mackay Reporter I have a theory. Hollywood loves "Dances With Wolves." Every year since 1990 (the year 'Wolves" was released), they have been trying to recapture the magi­ cal story of a white man living amongst a tribe of Indi­ ans. The latest copy cat is the dramatic adventure "Last of the Dogmen" (PG). "Dogmen" is such an obvious rip-off of "Wolves," you'd think Kevin Costner would have thrown a hissy fit and demand that writer/direc­ tor Tab Murphy be scalped. Dogmen is also hounded by some dialogue that is so lousy only Murphy's grandmother could like it. Plus, there's the narration (by an unbilled Wilford Brimley) that is so droned and obvious, I began to have horrific flashbacks of history lectures in college. I'm gonna re­ gret that last sentence, I'm STILL in college. So, for the life of me, I can't figure out why "Last of the Dogmen" manages not to be a total howler. This is a small movie that is seriously flawed, but full of heart, spirit and discovery. That is a giant leap over big films that are empty at the center (for instance "First Knight"). Tom Berenger plays a tracker/bounty hunter named Louis who stumbles upon evidence of a lost tribe of Cheyenne warriors known as "Dogmen". Naturally, he wants to find them. He enlists the help of local anthropologist Lilian Sloan (Barbara Hershey) to be the brains of his operation. Together they go deep into the Montana wilderness to find the mysterious tribe. Lilian and Louis are a perfect romantic match: they fight like car horns in New York City fush hour traffic. The basic premise of "Dogmen" is fascinating. Imagine a tribe of Indians living in the Montana wil­ derness, oblivious to the modern world that surrounds them. Murphy captures some of this wonder in many scenes, including one where members of the Indian tribe scoff at the very notion that man could walk on the moon. Beautiful cinematography and the all around feel of a 1950's western-adventure flick boost the level of appeal. The violence is minimal and bloodless, mak­ ing this a good family movie. Murphy never gets to dance with wolves, but this little epic is a nice waltz. You could call it "Dances With Doggies." Grade: B- Most major tire brands.

Sports . Apps plan'Aggravated assauf Stephen Hensley Sports Editor Saturday, the Mountaineer football team will travel down to Greensboro to take on the Aggies of North Carolina A&T. This will be the fifth meeting be­ tween the two schools since 1986. The Apps lead the series 3-1, which includes the 45-0 trouncing the Mountaineers handed the Aggies last season. However, the Aggies are off to a much better start in 1995, winning their first two games against rivals North Carolina Central and Winston-Salem State Quarterback Maseo Bolin is picking up right where he left off last season when he passed for over 1,700 yards in 1994. Head Coach Bill Hayes is embarking on his eighth season at the helm for the Aggies. Hayes has amassed a record of 4831at NC A& T that includes a 1-2 record against the Apps. The one victory the Aggies have against the Apps came in 1993 at Aggie Stadium. North Carolina A&T pounded the Apps 22-10. A key to victory for the Mountaineers this year will be stopping the Aggie offense. In the past, the Aggies ran a Wing-T formation, an offense that not many teams utilized. Now the Aggies run a standard I-formation that is similar to the offense used by most of Appalachian's opponents. "Its something we're used to seeing," remarked Mountaineer linebacker doirlg "II WlU g'Ve US 3 ChanCe 10 d°S°me °fthe thin8s we are used to That should be a scary thought to the Aggies because the App defense is egmmng to show the same intensity that was their trademark in 1994. After a ackluster second half against Wake Forest, the Mountaineers bounced back to shut down Edinboro to just 7 points and 280 total yards. "We are improving like we want to,"added Coakley. "We are getting better week in and week out." On the other side of the ball, the Apps just have to hope things continue the way they have been. In the first two contests of 1995, the Mountaineers have outscored the opposition 44-0. If this trend continues, the Aggies may be in quite a hole by halftime. Quarterback Scott Satterfield will still get the starting nod Saturday to lead the App offense. Satterfield is battling a hip strain, his second injury of the season. However, neither the hip strain nor the injury to his throwing hand has caused him to miss a starting snap this season. The injury bug has hit Appalachian's offensive line as well. Chad Groover continues to recover from a right knee sprain. Shawn Clark is suffering from an ankle sprain but should see action Saturday. However, Tony Bequette's ankle fracture will keep him out indefinitely. "We expect this to be a tough, tough game for us," remarked Appalachian State Head Coach Jerry Moore. "Both teams come into the game 2-0, so both squads want to keep their records perfect. We have to be focused; concentrate on what we have to do to be successful." The game kicks off at 1:30 p.m. The Apps are idle next week but will return home to take on East Tennessee State on Sept. 30 for Family Day. Lady Apps fat n to 0-6 David Willis Assistant Sports Editor j- 1 Appalachian State's women's volleyball team traveled to Blacksburg, Va., this past weekend to compete in the Virginia Tech Tournament, but came up empty as they dropped all three of their matches. In their first match, App's lady spikers faced a tough Northwestern University who took the best of five matchup in just three games, 15-4, 15-13, and 15-11, respectively. Leading the way for the Mountaineers were Sheri Leverette and Erica Bahry who both had six kills. In their second match, the Lady Apps took on the home team, Virginia Tech. The lady spikers faced the same unfortunate fate of their first match, dropping the first three games 15-2, 15-11, and 15-4. The Hokies topped the Mountaineers in virtually every category including kills, digs, and service aces. The final match of the weekend saw the Mountaineers take on the Virginia Cavaliers. The Apps regrouped after the first two matches, but came up short as they killed themselves wfth errors, tallying five more errrors than kills. The Cavaliers won the match in four games 15-9, 8-15, 15-11, and 15-8. Leading the Lady Apps were Stephanie Young, April Sorrells, Erica Bahry, and Kathy Granack. The lady spikers were however, without senior starter Miriam Sealey who was unable to play in any of the matches. Also not able to go the whole way, was senior starter Amy Kolomechuk who saw limited action in the first two matches and completely sat out the third. The Mountaineers remained on the skid as their record moved to 0-6. The Apps are not on pace with last year's squad who fin­ ished 30-6 and 14-0 in the Southern Confer­ ence and a trip to the NCAA Tournament.

Dp7niott)StUS'C ICeS d°Wn dUring the ViCt0ry 0Ver Edinboro Well, it is time once again for Mountaineer golf to swing back into action here at ASU, and Coach Bill Dicus seems to have some tal­ ented and promising squads for the fall sea­ son. The women's team is coming off of one of their most successful years ever, finishing second in the Southern Conference Tourna­ ment at the end of last spring. They hope to continue to ride high into the fall season, with their opening tournament just two days away, beginning on Sept. 16. On the other side, the men's team is com­ ing off of a rather mediocre spring, with their best numeric finish being seventh in the eightteam Southern Conference Tournament. They kick off the season on Oct. 1 at the Campbell Invitational, where experience should help a great deal with nine players returning. The Lady Mountaineer golf team is led out­ standingly by Meridyth Stanley, a sophomore from Ormond Beach, Florida, who was the MVP of last year's squad and carried the best stroke average on the team (83.8). Stanley will be backed up by Meryll McElwain, a jun­ ior from Kernersville, North Carolina, who has been All-Southern Conference the past two years and owned a very respectable stroke average of 84.4. This year's team is a younger team. In fact, four new freshmen will be a part of the club: Erin McArthur, a transfer from the University of Georgia, Kelly Clements from Durham, Brittany Winterton from Peach Tree City, Georgia, and Jennifer Taylor from Pinehurst, all of whom show promising tal­ ent and should perform well. When asked how he feels the women's team will perform this fall, Coach Dicus says, "The outlook is good, especially since we are coming off one of the most successful years for the women's program, and I expect us to lower our stroke average by at least 15 strokes per round. If that indeed does happen, this fall and spring will be very successful for the ASU women's golf team. The men's team returns nine players this Stanley Jokers and the wild card race Darryl Stevens Staff Writer Sports Commentary The current baseball season began with only the slightest of complications, with each team losing 18 scheduled games. But last year's season was done in August, and now it seems as if the 1995 campaign has lasted forever and a day. What makes this year feel even more like an epic is that unofficial canon of baseball: within a month from the All-Star Break, it's usually clear which teams are in serious con­ tention. Cleveland clinched the American League Central from the onset of the NFLs ex­ hibition games. Atlanta could fall flat on their face by now and win the NL East title (as long as they fall forward). And there are the teams with their fates inhand, the teams which have reduced their magic numbers to single digits. Cincinnati, Boston, and California only need to stay healthy and start focusing on October. The only marathon worth paying attention to is happening in the NL West. A division whose teams are separated by only seven games from top to bottom, the West features fledgling Colorado and Los Angeles as they sprint to the finish. This game of King of the Hill has inspired both squads to play A-plus ball in 1995's last weeks, the Rockies and Dodgers winning eight clogged with Rockies, who have four of the and seven of their last 10 games, respectively. top five longballers.

The BOT approved the hire of an architectural firm to look into the feasibility of an on-campus Greek housing complex. According to Dr. Gregory Blimling, vice chancellor of student development, the housing facility will be built with social frater­ nities and sororities in mind. However, if other small, group organizations show an interest, they will be considered on a space-available basis. According to Brad Reid, director of housing, a possible site for the Greek housing is near Greenwood parking lot, across from the newly constructed Appalachian Heights Apart­ ments. A committee made up of faculty, staff and students selected the architectural firm to look into the construction of a Greek housing facility. According to Jim Street, assistant di­ rector of the center for student involvement and leadership, there were no non-Greek, stu­ dent representatives on the committee. According to Reid, Lees, Nichols, and Hepler architectural firm from Charlotte will be looking into the feasibility of building a Greek complex. They will also be using the input from another firm from Norfolk, Va., Hanbury, Evans, Newill, Vlattas. They have done Greek housing projects at Virginia Tech and James Madison University. "We are a long way from having something solid to look at," said Reid. The structure would be funded with a bond issue and repaid with interest through collected housing fees and money from Greek organizations. "I feel that there might be a problem with the Greek organizations being able to fund their portion of the project," said Reid. He estimated the cost of the structure to be $7-9 million. "The price tag is going to be high on anything built in the next few years," he said. According to Blimling, the students living in Greek housing will follow the same alcohol and housing policies as other students in on-campus facilities. "There would be a more controlled partying environment,"said Kellie Floyd, a Rho Chi. "However, I do feel like the location may segregate the Greek community even more." "I know it (Greek housing) would take a lot of pressure off the on-campus hous­ ing situation," said Floyd. Currently, Greek organizations reside on specified floors of Cone and Cannon Residence Halls. According to Street, there are currently 10 Greek floors, approximately 200 rooms. According to Reid, the committee has discussed the possibility of having residence areas that house 20-30 people per fraternity, social rooms, meeting rooms, chapter rooms and food prep areas. These are suggestions that will be considered by the architectural firm in the feasibility study. Assistant News Editor Appalachian Popular Programming Society's showing of "Pulp Fiction" at I.G. Greer attracted 303 students last Friday night, said Megan Woolshlager, films chairperson. Eighty-five students attended Saturday's showing and 94 on Sunday. I.G. Greer will seat approximately 450 people and they have never had to turn anybody away. Woolshlager said she thinks students like the movie for several reasons. She said it is one of those movies people want to see re­ peatedly. "Quentin Tarantino (writer, director) has a lot of draw and everybody has their own favorite part," said Woolshlager. "It's sick humor, but hilarious!" The cost of the A.ERS. movies are one dollar. "We get approximately two-thirds of student fees, said Page Braddham, president of A.RPS. "The admission goes back into what we can do for the students." f""° API""Cti-n,i Cm" f" S»»*" O" ~ ~on *c„d Reporter up," she said. Woolshlager said the only sell - out last year was a Wednesday night Cinema Draft movie entitled "Clockwork Orange." Ten people were turned away. The Wednesday night movies were held in the Pub which holds 220 students. Because of construction at the new Pub, this year, the Cinema Drafts are being held in I.G. Greer, but without the alcohol. The Appalachian Index If the Greek housing project is found to be feasible, Reid esitmated two to three years for completion of the project. According to Jane Helm, vice chan­ cellor for business affairs, the proposed fund­ ing of the project includes the university pro­ viding the land and the students who will live in the facility, from the Greek organizations, paying their on-campus housing fee. Funding of social rooms, meeting rooms and other com­ mon-use rooms would be through fraternities individually funding their portion of the struc­ ture. A.ERS. normally tries not to show the same movies the dollar theaters in town are playing, she said. A.RRS. did not know The Flick, a dollar theater on Howard Street, was going to hold over "Pulp Fiction" for another week. The films council, made up entirely of students, is responsible for choosing the movies to be shown, said Woolshlager. "Ev­ erybody brings in movies they think the stu­ dent body would like. A master list is made and voted on." Woolshlager said anybody can be on the films council. They just have to show up for meetings on Tuesdays at 6 p.m. in the Rhododendren Room. She said the films are picked a se­ mester in advance. They are ordered from ei­ ther Swank or Films Inc., the two main com­ panies that supply most colleges. Other big draws last year included "Higher Learning" and the "Breakfast Club" said Woolshlager. Thirty-five to 45 people was the average number of people attending the weekend showings last year, said Woolshlager. "On a good night we had 90 to 110 people show Tammy Hicks The new John E. Thomas Hall, which will serve to centralize various student sup­ port services, is under construction and is pro­ jected to be completed by early fall 1996. The facility is named for the Appalachian State University chancellor who served the college from 1979 to 1993. The main purpose of the building is to centralize various student support services and to provide one place that students can conduct most of their business. Offices that will have space in the new building include Admissions, Financial Aid, Career Development Center, Residence Life, Registrar, Cashier and a Visitors Center. These relocations will leave spaces available in I.G. Greer, Founders Hall and the Administration Building. A space committee will determine what will fill these empty spaces. The current financial aid building will be torn down. "It's going to be great to have all the student services under one roof," said Mike Stanley, director of student accounts. He also said that they hoped to be moving in Fall 1996. "We want to provide a welcoming atmosphere for students and their families when they first arrive at Appalachain State University. The building will serve as our new entrance and should reflect the university, " said Dr. Blimling, chancellor of student devel­ opment. He also said that with the offices being less cramped for the employees, and more accessible for the students, the frustra­ tion level should be lower for everyone. The structure would be funded with a bond issue and repaid with interest through collected housing fees and money from Greek organizations. I.G.

The benefit sale will take place at the historic Jones House Community Center on King Street. The sale is being sponsored by the Heavenly Mountain Resort, a luxury residential community under construc­ tion near Boone. This resort has two important aspects. It is a profit orga­ nization selling homes, and also a non­ profit organization that supports a large group of meditators. Enloe Willingham, director of community relations for the Heavenly Mountain Resort, says, "This group of people is creating a great atmosphere of har­ mony throughout the Blue Ridge area. The Heavenly Mountain Resort's goal is to generate good will in the com­ munity." Rhea Hebert, Watauga County Li­ brarian, reports that the library needs to raise $500,000 locally to complete and furnish the new facility. The Heav­ enly Mountain Resort is donating $40,000 worth of new, hardbound books to be sold at up to 70 percent off during the Book Fair. All of the proceeds will be donated to the new library fund. If all of the books are bought, the Library Building Fund will receive $27,000 in cash. Herbert says, "This Book Fair will be an excellent op­ portunity for everyone in Watauga County to help the new library by do­ ing their Christmas book shopping a little early." There will be a wide selection of current books to choose from includ­ ing children's books, national bestsellers, cookbooks, gardening books, educational books and many other choices for everyone's personal taste. According to David Kaplan, Presi­ dent of Heavenly Mountain Resort, "This contribution demonstrates our commitment to Watauga County and expresses our appreciation for the kind of reception we have received from the community." This organization stresses the importance of books and the library to the students and the overall relationship to the entire com­ munity. "A library is fundamental to any area that is important to the commu­ nity," adds Willingham. This local ben­ efit is a "win-win situation," says Brian Crutchfield, manager of economic and community development at Blue Ridge Electric and a member of the fund-rais­ ing committee for the new library. The local community will get excellent deals on great books, and all of the funds raised will go to support the new library.

That's what we wilt do." , D. , - Richard Ntxon ditorials Fairness. Accuracy and Public Service since 1936 Rape discussion often taboo Our opinion... Books cost students a pretty penny Picture this. It's the beginning of the semester, and as you go to each new class, you are handed a syllabus. The syllabus includes what text book you will be using as well as information pertaining to reading assignments, due dates of papers and dates of quizes and exams. It also gives a list of other read­ ing assignments for which you will need to purchase paperback books. Often, after going to each class ind collecting this list, you find that your bill for books comparable to that which you have already paid fees. Quite often, professors assign nine or 10 books to buy in addition to the rental text book which is already provided. Some of these paperbacks only cost $5 or $6. However, others can run as high as $16 or even $20. This can get rather expensive. Even t only $5 per book, if a professor assigns five extra looks, that is already $25. That is only one class, oppose you are in a major in which many of your irofessors are assigning extra books. At four or five Iclasses, those extra $25 in books can certainly start to add up. B Why do professors do this? Presumably, many I think only about their class. They do not stop to |:hink that professors in other classes may also be .ssigning several books to be bought. They also may e thinking that it does not really matter how much oney is spent on books, because Mommy and Daddy re paying for them, anyhow. In some instances, this nay be the case. But not all mommies and daddies, fcfter paying that lovely tuition bill, can afford to fork put another $100 or $200 to buy extra books. And j or those students who are paying their own way, Jhis money may be tapping into more than their beer nd. There are expenditures such as rent and food. Students realize that reading is an important part f any learning process. We are not bemoaning that act. We simply ask professors to think before going ild when assigning books to buy. There is no point in making students fork out oney every year to buy a brand new edition of a ook when only a comma has been changed on page 46, paragraph three. Therefore, we offer the folwing suggestions to professors to help curb those ook-buying urges. If a professor assigns a book to buy, please use he entire book. Anthologies are great when used as hey are meant to be - as collections. But spending 120 or $30 on a book when only two stories are read s ridiculous. To the book store, we suggest instituting a bet:er buy-back system. If students bought books at the >eginning of the semester knowing they were going o get a good return on their investment, they would Ilot be so hasty to complaing about the expense, and | nay even take better care of the books. Finally, we suggest to professors that they utilize I he textbooks which are available to them. We have o rent them anyway. You may as well make good ise of them.

Rape victims' ages Older than 29 Not sure/ Refused/Ommitted /\ 6.1% Beth Tomlinson Guest Columnist Okay, so last Tuesday was the Sixth Annual Walk for Awareness. I thought, "Hey I'm a senior now. Isn't it about time that I go?" I must admit to you that I have never been to the Walk for Awareness and I'm not sure that I could go again. It wasn't that the walk was a bad thing. I thought it was really good for those people who had been assaulted to see the support that the university and community have for them. I couldn't go again though, because it brought back many feelings that I wasn't ready to deal with or I guess, didn't want to deal with. And that was what I was afraid of. When I first got there and the people were handing out the song sheets I tried to pretend that I was just there in support of Jeni Gray and the many individuals who also have been abused. It was soon apparent to me, though, that I would not be able to stand there and let what was going on around me not affect me. You see, over 10 years ago, I was sexually molested by a neighbor. I have been to counseling and have told my story to my friends. I even thought that I could be a support for anyone who looked like rhev needed it. I was wrong. For those of you who have never been raped or abused, let me share something with you. It doesn't go away. Many times people have reminded me that what happened is "in the past" and I should "try to forget it." This is a good sentiment, but it is nearly impossible. Abuse affects every­ one in different ways. Some people become more trust­ ing, such as Leigh Cooper, who spoke at the Walk for Aware­ ness. Others, like myself, draw into a shell and hide out whenever they feel like they are in danger. I really think that it depends on when you get help and how supportive the people around you are. I didn't get help for what happened to me for over two years.

Now imagine that the person who molested you was a person that you had to see every day and then, when it happens to someone else, realizing that you could have stopped it if you had only spoken up when it hap­ pened. Now I know that it wasn't my fault that the other per­ son was attacked, but I could have helped to make sure people knew what had happened. Since my attack, I al­ most wish that rape was a more open issue. I think then the people who commit these crimes would at least think twice before doing something so cruel. I also think that the women and men whr> vet raned would ha\e a better chance of "learning" from their experiences. It's like they say in education classes - there's learning and then there is learning for a lifetime. 1 learned not to trust people be­ cause I wasn't helped fast enough. I didn't help myself by standing up and speaking out about what happened to me. This is my learning for a lifetime. I won't be able to forget and neither will all the women who are raped every minute of the day in the United States, nor the one out of seven boys who are sexually abused by the age of 18. It's scary isn't it? Do you know what's even more frightening? The fact that I could be your sister, your brother, your mother, or your father. I could be your child. It's really scary.... Are witch hunts a thing of the past? • The case of Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols proves they are not. John Lane Managing Editor On April 19 of this year, most Americans' worst night­ mare came true in Oklahoma City. The bombing of the Alfred R Murrah Federal building claimed 168 lives of adults and children, rich and poor alike. The hunt for the demon(s) who could be responsible for an act such as this was on instantaneously. In the 17th century, in Salem, Mass., great feelings of anger, grief, and revenge led people to accuse their neigh­ bors of committing witchcraft. At the first sign of trouble (crops destroyed by fire, etc.) a scapegoat would be quickly found and put on trial with, at best, sketchy evidence against them of the slightest wrongdoing (stealing a chicken,). Are these witch hunts really a thing of the past? Witch hunts used to begin as widespread scares and end with some unfortunate soul being bound and thrown into a river to see if they would float. Of course, being bound inhibited the ability to swim, and the thrashing around that this type of trauma would cause wouldn't give them much of a chance to float. They were, in a way, pronounced guilty before they were given the chance to prove their innocence. Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols seem to be in a similar situa­ tion. A widespread scare came to its fruition with them. And before they were even collected, still labeled John Doe one and two, they were pro­ nounced guilty by the leader of us all, Bill Clinton, and backed by his head judge, Janet Reno. Their sentence was to be "swift and se­ vere." The "death pen­ alty" was called for by name. Though the hunt is now half way over, all that is left since the "guilty" parties have been ratted out, is the trial. But isn't that really The Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.

Ambitious politicians trying to seize healthcare and raise taxes have used the word • "crisis" until the word no longer has effect. But what's happening in urban America today is a true crisis. Our big cities and the citizens who live in them deal with a misery that a poet couldn't describe. For 30 years we've been judging our compassion by how much money we throw at the problem even while it exacerbated it. Dynamic changes need to be made, and in Wisconsin something very exciting is happening. It's called school choice or "the voucher system." The Republican governor is giv­ ing poor parents vouchers with money that would normally go to the public schools, so they, like the rich, can send their children to a private school. Sounds like something liberals and conservatives could agree on, right? Sadly that is not the case. The state Supreme Court has stopped the program because of a suit filed by, who else but the plunderers of the poor, the ACLU. (They must not get enough kicks releasing criminals into poor peoples' neighborhoods; they have to also make sure poor kids have no chance of getting an education). The arguments against vouchers are spurious at best and almost ended the pro­ gram. Luckily, big business in Milwaukee has contributed over a million dollars to keep those poor children out of the public schools until the matter is settled in court. This case will have a huge effect on the future of education in America and is one of the last best hopes for the children of our inner cities. The Milwaukee Public Schools currendy receive $6,500 per student per year.

He and I always played in his backyard. I must have gone over there a hundred times, but I only really remember one specific afternoon. Tommy was a very scientifically minded boy. He didn't love Star Wars because he thought it was cool; he loved it because he thought it was possible. The one afternoon 1 remember we spent sitting in his driveway, pulling the legs off "daddy long leg" spiders and looking at their bodies under a magnifying glass. When 1 think back to that now, I am filled with guilt. Even though my gut instinct is to chalk up that day to child­ hood curiosity, I am still disappointed that 1 would have enjoyed such a cruel activity. The really weird part is, I * 'late spiders. I'm the first person to swat them when they come near me. For some reason, it seems okay to kill them -when they scare me, but not okay to have pulled their legs off to see what would happen. 1 was reminded of that afternoon as I sat in my first biology lab session. It wasn't until I looked around and saw the cabinets in that lab that I realized once again, I was going to be required to dissect. In the lab for Biology 1101, you have to dissect a frog. Dissection strikes me as a useless procedure. With all the technology we have, isn't there a better way to teach students how an organism's body works? I'm sure that there are videos of dissections lying around somewhere which we could watch and take notes on rather than per­ forming them ourselves. Why waste the lives of all those frogs when the lab assistant could either show us a video or just do one herself and let us watch? It just seems so wasteful for the university to keep buying the animals and the equipment when it isn't really necessary. I am an English major. Like the majority of students who take Biology 1101, it is just another required course for me. I seriously doubt that knowledge of a frog's in­ nards is going to be useful to me in my journalism career. When are all the business, music, and other non-scientific major students going to need to know how to use a scalpel in their future? I know that I could've taken astronomy, geology, chem­ istry, or physics, but it seems to me that Biology is going to be much more useful. It is, after all, the study of living things. I couldn't care less about rocks, the formula for sugar, or how fast a brick falls from a four stoiy building. Astronomy has too much math for me to go near it. Unless I suddenly turn into McGuyver, those sciences are just not dictates which animals are more precious to us than oth­ up my alley. Biology is the logical course for me to take to ers?

An inviting meal of hash and spam washed down with a nice cup of glacier ice tea awaited his team. Does this sound fun?

If this sounds too far-fetched to be any­ thing but the beginning of an excerpt from a Reader's Digest True Disasters series, then think again. James "Coop" Cooper, a senior geology student from Charlotte, lived it. Cooper was the only Appalachian student to attend the Juneau Ice Field Research Pro­ gram. Some students may wonder why Coo­ per would go through such an ordeal during his vacation. The answer is Cooper is a ge­ ologist, and geologists get to do cool things. No pun intended. The seven-week expedition began in Ju­ neau, Alaska, where 44 students came to­ gether from around the United States and Canada to learn geological mapping and glaciology. Half the students were female and approximately half were high school students.

Have you ever wanted to turn your B into an A, but wondered how toget the inside track? Or have you done well in a class and wanted to pass your expertise along to others while getting paid. If these ques­ tions sound familiar, then tutoring may be the answer. As a part of the Learning Assistance Program (LAP), student-to-student tutor­ ing is offered in dozens of courses, as well as any other course that has requests from three enrolled students. Tutoring is free, confidential, and works on an ap­ pointment basis. The program is one of the largest in the southeast, and Tutor Coordi­ nator Mary Quinn says, "We work with an av­ erage of 1500 students a semester and employ over 100, so it is a positive service for all." The program is staffed by students who have made A's and B's in the classes they tutor and have gotten recommendations from their professors. These tutors attend a tutor train­ ing course that outlines various topics includ­ ing note-taking, improving reading skills, mo- tivation. and time management. The .... msnawmont n,0 tutors .... .

In the SI program a student is paid to take notes in a class and have review sessions for the students of the class three times a week.

The Counseling and Pychological Services Center at Appalachian offers students a series of growth as well as therapy groups and numerous short-term, spe­ cial topic groups, can benefit one's personal improve­ ment. For most, the thought of group therapy brings to mind a room full of people pressuring others to reveal painful or shameful secrets. Another common mis­ conception about group therapy is that once the group pressures you into revealing something personal or painful, they will overwhelm you with expressions of love that you don't necessaril;' need or want. This is one of the myths about group therapy that Dr. Tom Stanger of the Counseling Center would like to dispel. Stanger says, "group therapy is gener­ ally more beneficial than individual therapy," because in group therapy you gain the impartial perspective of others. The groups at the Counseling Center have between six and eight members each, who meet with one or two trained counselors. Many of these counsek had specialized training and experience with gi terventions, A group leader first meets with pi members for an interview to determine if the g right for them, or whether individual therapy be more helpful.

Stanger went on to say the object of group t is to "concentrate on the aspects of themselv they like."

After putting in over an hour's worth of sweat (it showed) and good old rock and roll, the Pilgrims gave thanks to Appalachian for making their pil­ grimage to Boone a memorable one. "The first time I saw Gibb Droll 1 was so impressed. 1 didn't know who this character was, but he was incredible," said senior Tracy Sparks before the man of the hour took the stage. Whether they heard him when he turned the Klondike on its ear last year, or whether they just heard the raves about that show, the students that were seated with antici­ pation when Modern Day Pilgrims struck their last chord could not have expected all of what they would see and hear in the two hours to come.

Following a mild response, he probably did feel a little lost in time. On the following song, entitled "Deck of Cards," Droll continued to play like a man pos­ sessed. Though he lit­ erally made mouths drop wide open by playing his instrument of choice behind his head, the audience re­ alized that this was no one man band. Intro­ duced to the crowd as Pete, the keyboard player wowed Legends with a wicked solo ("Smash it, Pete! Smash it!"). After filling the next couple of songs with just as much spon­ taneity and bluestinged rock, Gibb asked the audience once again, "How are you all feeling now?"

"We've heard a lot of requests for this one tonight, so we're gonna' give it a try," said a humble Droll. Looking around the room at the hang­ ing portraits of legends like Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, and David Bowie (isn't there a residence hall named after him?), it was hard not to notice that the smiles on these famous painted faces seemed just a little wider as The Gibb Droll Band paid tribute to a rock and roll god with his rendition of "Little Wing." From start to finish Droll sang the lyrics like he was recit­ ing his favorite poem. After 10 min­ utes of swaying, air guitaring, and singing along, the audience was on cloud 10. Sophomore Jim Hazen ex­ plained, "Missing 'Pulp Fiction' turned out to be a good thing. I mean, Gibb Droll is like a royale with extra cheese." Of all the reviews though, perhaps freshman Paul Hoover put it best when he said of the show, "It was as if I paid four dollars to see Jimi Hendrix, Eddie VanHalen and Stevie Ray Vaughn play the same guitar un­ der one name: Gibb Droll."

This is our home opener, on a new playing surface, Hall of Fame Day, a night game in Kidd Brewer Stadium, all those things con­ tribute to making this a special game." It was a special game and it did not take the Apps long to get used to the new Astroturf. On their second possession of the game they drove 50 yards in seven plays for their first score of the game. Keyed by an 18-yard recep­ tion by Otis Smith on 3rd and 10, quarterback Scott Satterfield rolled to his right for the fi­ nal eight yards and the touchdown. The Moun­ taineers took the lead 7-0. Edinboro came right back. Fighting Scot Gilbert Grantlin gave his team excellent field position with a 30-yard kickoff return. On the very next play, Grantlin again got his hands on the ball for a 37-yard grab, moving the ball into Mountaineer territory for the first time. After a 21-yard run by Gerald Thompson and an offsides call against the Apps, the Scots had second and goal at the four, but a huge sack by App's Jamie Coleman and an intentional grounding call forced Edinboro to attempt a 40-yard field goal, which was just wide. Appalachian took over at its own 18 and moved the ball well again. Smith came up with his second catch of the night for 26 yards and Aldwin Lance rumbled for 28 more yards on three carries. The Mountaineers were poised to score their second touchdown of the night, but Satterfield missed receivers on con­ secutive downs, and ASU had to settle for a 27-yard Jay Sutton field goal and a 10-0 lead. Both teams traded possessions twice before ASU was able to mount another drive. Jamie Coleman gave the Apps good field position with a 21-yard punt return and the Mountain­ eers were able to come away with a 42-yard Sutton field goal, thanks to the Fighting Scot defense that gave Sutton an extra attempt on an offsides call. The Apps increased their lead to 13-0. Edinboro took over at its own 35 after the kickoff sailed out of bounds. Junior tailback Tony Brinson single-handedly moved the ball into ASU territory, but a fourth down pass fell short and the Mountaineers regained posses­ sion. With 5:29 left in the half, sopho­ more Gerard Hardy replaced a banged up Scott Satterfield at the helm for the Moun­ taineers and led the Apps 60 yards in^,' eight plays fo ri wmmm s ASU's second TD of the game. Four Mountaineers carried the ball on the drive, including Damon Scott who gained 31 yards on four touches and the final 11 for the score. The Apps were starting to run away with it, now leading 20-0 with 1:39 to play in the half. Edinboro got another good return by Grantlin, but time ran out as the Fighting Scots moved the ball into ASU territory. Led by Joe DiBernardo and Dexter Coakley, the Mountaineer defense shut down its oppo­ nent for the second straight week, not allow­ ing any points in the first half. The intermission did some good for Edinboro, as the Fighting Scots took the open­ ing drive and went 90 yards on nine plays for their first score of the game. Led by Grantlin, who gained 62 yards on three catches, includ­ ing a 41-yard bomb for the touchdown. The Scots reduced the score to 20-7, but that would be all as the Mountaineer defense would shut down Edinboro for the remainder of the game. Not wanting to be outdone, the Apps also came out moving the ball, with Hardy still in at quarterback. The Mountaineers moved the ball 53 yards in nine plays for a 29-yard Sutton field goal, his third of the night. App increased its lead to 23-7. The Mountaineers were not done as they took the fintil drive of the third quarter 56 yards on five plays, including a 43-yard scoring run by Hardy who personally juked all 11 defen­ sive players along the way. Three possessions later, the Mountaineers would drive again, this time 59 yards on 4 plays. Carlos Horton would score from two yards out after a combined run of 34 yards by Hardy and Horton on a downfield pitch. The Apps lead increased to 37-7 with 9:39 left in the game. Un the next drive, Edinboro drove the length of the field, but backup safety Jon Duncan intercepted the ball and ran 75 yards to the Scots' 21. The Apps, now led by third string QB Bake Baker and the running of Willie McLain, slammed the book on Edinboro with the final TD of the night. The Apps led 44-7 and would hold that lead as time ran out. The Mountaineer offense combined for 315 yards on the ground, led by Gerard Hardy who had eight carries for 101 yards. Also leading the App offense was return man Jamie Coleman who gave the offense good field po­ sition all night. The Mountaineer defense was led by Joe DiBernardo, Dexter Coakley, and Matt Stevens, who had two interceptions. The Apps will travel to Greensboro next Saturday to take on North Carolina A&T at 1:30.

"Even though it was only a scrimmage, it was a good moral vic­ tory," stated Head Coach Cathy Burleson. However, with 15 returning play­ ers, five seniors, five freshmen, and two transfers, the Lady Mountaineers still are learning to play as a team. The squad started the 1995 season against Duke, Sept. 8, where the la­ dies suffered their first loss by a score of 13-0.

Jan against Reggie. •gar Ray versus Tommy. i and Dave. r Rice and Deion Sanders. i and Andre? Ithe newest rivalry in sports, the Tecent standoff between two Ititors that comes close to ap­ proaching the status of past battles. Ranked Nos. 1 and 2 respectively (al­ though this could change soon), Agassi and Sampras are undoubtedly the class of professional tennis. At their best, the pair of them tower over the rest of the field; they are be­ yond merely dominant. Only Agassi can return a serve from Pete Sampras with greater than average success. Only Sampras is crafty enough to shoot forehands down the baseline which Agassi, probably one of the quickest players in the game, can't reach. When we have time to really look back at Sunday's U.S. Open Men's Fi­ nals, the match may take on the lumi­ nance of legend. Sampras used the four-set victory to earn himself a spot alongside John McEnroe, Bill Tilden and Fred Perry as the only players ever to win three Open and three Wimbledon championships during their careers. He seems to have accomplished this so quietly, did Sampras. He beats opponents with blurring forehands, the expression on his face seldom re­ vealing much, as he leaves the talking to others. Not many athletes gain en­ dorsements because of their shy de­ meanor (see his Pizza Hut stuffed crust spots with McEnroe, where the looselipped Mac teaches Pete the art of bit. .. uh, bellyaching). But Agassi and Sampras aren't the only members of the world of tennis who cast such large shadows over the competition. Steffi Graf, winner of the Women's Open bracket, has been so strong over the last handful of years that her name may as well be carved into the trophies at the start of most tourneys. Monica Seles is to Graf as Andre Agassi is to Sampras. Seles' return af­ ter being stabbed in the back almost three years ago gathered a lot of at­ tention. But consider that her loss to Graf on Saturday was her first since returning. Michael Jordan took a few weeks to get on track after his base­ ball adventure. Mike Tyson . . . well, we'll have to wait and see. Buster Mathis, Jr. probably won't be the one who settles the issue, either. But Seles walked right onto the court and hasn't missed a step. At 21 years of age, her potential is scary. can only get better as the year rolls along. The game shouldn't be a shoot­ out: the Steelers' tight defense is now established, and the Dolphins have allowed just 17 points in two games so far. New England quarterback Drew Bledsoe, the man who puts more air under the football than a punter; faces Steve Young and the Deion-less FortyNiners. After suffering a blow-out at the hands of Miami Sunday, the Pats travel to 3M (nee' Candlestick) Park for a game which might produce 600 combined passing yards. Young's 331yard effort against Atlanta may have created an appetite for destruction. STRONG POINTS Only two weeks into the NFL sea­ son, and already we have the league's titans clashing.

The store will be built in Southgate and Watauga Village Centers off Blowing Rock Road. However, a grand opening date has not been set. According to an article written by Sandy Wall published in the Watauga Demo­ crat in early August of this year, Wal-Mart offi­ cials announced they would be building a store in the new retail building optioned by a Davidson, NC-based developement company named Tricor. Boone town officials want to clear up some problems seen in the plans before they are sent to the planning commission for ap­ proval. As a result, the plans will not be ready for discussion at the Boone Board of Adjust­ ment meeting on Sept. 7. Stacey Webb, spokesperson for WalMart Stores Inc., says that the store is to be built in the Watauga Village Shopping Center, and although she cannot give a definite date, she says it will be built as soon as possible. Regarding student employment, Webb said, "Wal-Mart generally employs 70 percent lull time and 30 percent part-time workers. Students make up a great deal of associates in Wal-Mart stores." The new Wal-Mart will be the main competitor of the K-Mart store located on Blow­ ing Rock Road. Students are excited about a new, low-priced department store. Quality of merchandise, prices, and policies regarding returns are matters that concern many stu­ dents."Wal-Mart's prices are more reason­ able," said Richard Davenport, sophomore. Sally Gunter, junior, said, "Wal-Mart's quality is better overall than K-Mart's and I have been pleased with Wal-Mart's acceptance of returned merchandise. I once bought a cam­ era there and returned it without my receipt. No questions were asked." At Wal-Mart, general returns can be made without a receipt. K-Mart requires a re­ ceipt to accompany all merchandise, with some exceptions. The new store will be 125,000 square feet and will contain 36 general departments. The departments include aparal and accesso­ ries, jewelry, lawn and garden supplies, beauty supplies, and electronics, among others. Although the Student Government Association is still under construction, it is slowly beginning to take shape. To date there is not a Senate, but the elections will be held between Septem­ ber 12-13. This is an open election, meaning anyone is welcome to nominate or be nomimated. The first meeting will be held on Sept. 19. This will also be a training seminar for the new senators. The meeting will be held in the Linville Falls Room in Plemmons Student Union and no final time has been set. This year's SGA's executive and leg­ islative cabinets are composed of 14 members. The executive cabinet is composed of Darby Weaver, president of SGA; Michael Harkins, chief of staff; Paul Burleson, treasurer; Jen­ nifer Hardison, secretary; Tiffany Schlerf, as­ sistant secretary; Misty Rumbley, public af­ fairs; and Jason Basinger, Mountaineer Escort. The position of State Affairs is still open and applications are still being accepted. The legislative cabinet is composed of Robyn Martin, vice president of SGA; Felicia Fluid, student affairs; Edmundo Echeverria, academic affairs; Dan Norris, ex­ ternal affairs; David Ponder, rules chairper­ son; and Peyton King, assistant rule. Weaver and Martin would like to have an open door policy with the students at Appalachian. They would prefer that stu­ dents come by during regular office hours. "We are very optimistic that we will be able to perform all of our platform goals," said Vice President Martin. One of the platform issues was fi­ nances for the library to be Tenovated and become more user friendly. They also hope to fix the parking problem and promote the construction of the Boone Loop, a six mile bicycle and pedestrian path around Boone. They also hope to expand the indoor recy­ cling program to all of the residence halls. ackey Field relocates to Stadium • Ponds, park to replace the Lackey baseball field on Rivers Street. Allison Pennel Assistant News Editor Jc/rey Field will soon be a park and pond, while the baseball field will be moved to upper stadium (Photo bv Iane Richardson) Lackey Baseball Field will be relo­ cated to the upper stadium area (practice field) and be replaced with several ponds. Baseball Coach James Morris said he has been at Appalachian for 22 years and the field has flooded many times. The flooding has prevented games from being played, said Morris. "I'm happy we're moving, except for attendance," said Morris. "Attendance is the only negative." Morris said having the field on Riv­ ers Street was convenient for people walking or driving by. Many would sit and watch the game, said Morris. The town of Boone is responsible for enforcing the Federal Emergency Manage­ ment Agency's regulations for flood areas, said Jane Helm, vice chancellor of business affairs. "Since the new steam plant has to go in that area, we have to fix that area by way of opening up the creeks that run under­ neath the field," said A1 Rapp, director of sys­ tems and special projects. "It's like a domino effect." Rapp also said the ponds will be formed because of the effect the steam plant will have. "We're putting things back the way Mother Nature intended them to be," said Rapp. He also said they would be putting back the natural mountain appearance. "Reworking the creeks should ben­ efit the town," said Rapp. He said they hope it will help control flooding. The ponds will be encircled with a rock weir that will serve as a dike to catch any overflowing water. Helm said the Appalachian Convo­ cation Center, which will be located next to the ponds, will look as natural as possible. She said they were planning to have as much grassy space around that area as they can. Helm also said this project should begin before any work with the ACC gets started. Helm said Appalachian will bid for construction firms to work on the project, but that process has not started yet. Index The Office Hours: Monday- Friday 8-5 Page 4... News.

The 610 parking spaces designated to students directly be­ hind the Broyhill Inn have been oversold. University police are try­ ing to correct this problem by reas­ signing parking spaces to both Wil­ liams and Horn-in-the-West park­ ing lots. "South parking lot is our largest problem with overcrowding and we hope to rectify the situa­ tion in the next week," said Cap­ tain Stephen Perry, traffic supervi­ sor. Solutions to the overcrowding are being found by officers who are patrolling and surveying each lots' availability. Approximately 100 spaces are vacant in Horn-in-the-West and Williams parking lots. The reassign­ ment of new parking spaces is given to commuters and residents first or to those who fill out a special re­ quest. "We are trying to be as helpful as we can, because the over­ crowding is our responsibility," Perry said. According to the Uni­ versity police, Appalachian's park­ ing is adequate. A new parking lot is be­ ing curbed on River Street to re­ place the old one torn down dur­ ing construction. The new River Street parking lot is to be fully op­ erational in a few weeks. .

As of July 1, students must take the PreProfessional Skills Test instead of the National Teacher Examination. According to Susie L. Greene, director of testing, the PPST has been available for Appalachian students to take for the past several years, how­ ever, it was considered an option to the NTE. Now it is not an option, it is a requirement. "It is really not a test that you can study for before the examination," said Becky Roark, administrative as­ sistant for teacher certification. "How­ ever, you can be prepared for the for­ mat." If you Every year, about 500 stu­ dents at Appalachian apply to the Col­ lege of Education. Study guides for the PPST are available at the College of Education to help students become familiar with the format of the test. Additional help can also be ordered when registering for the PPST. The PPST can be taken through the Sylvan Learning Center via computer. This option is not avail­ able at Appalachian. It is, however, administered in Asheville, Charlotte, Greenville, Greensboro, and Raleigh. An appointment is needed to take the test at one of these locations. An advantage of the com­ puter test is that scores are immedi­ ately available for the reading and math sections. The writing section is sent off to be scored. Scores are sent to specified universities upon request. According to Roark, anyone who failed the NTE must now take the PPST to be admitted into The College of Education.

Move it or lose it David Kershner Columnist If you have ever tried to park in one of the 20 minute parking spaces behind the post office to go check your mail, you have probably faced the prob­ lem of having to risk life and limb - not to mention getting a parking ticket - to park in the middle of the lot. Not in a designated parking space, mind you. Just in the middle of the lot behind all the other people who couldn't find a parking spot. Well it's that time of year when new and old students alike, with all their new-found freedom, can express them­ selves in various ways. Some choose to become environ­ mentalists while some choose to become hikers, bikers and mountain climbers. Some, on the other hand, choose to take their new freedom of choice and "rush" for a frater­ nity or sorority that they feel they want to be a part of. I am not in a fraternity but I do have friends in both fraternities and sororities all up and down the east coast. In my experiences with these "social butterflies" I have yet to have a bad time. I have found in my travels to see these friends, that they are all fun-loving people that choose to express their new freedoms in this particular way. I'd have to be a blind man not to see the negative entombed in the Due to the fact that these spaces are so centrally located and because people don't have to have a park­ ing sticker to park in these 20 minute spaces, many students use them to the point of abuse. If you don't want to be a With the cost of a parking space on campus hav­ ing heen raised $75 in the last 10 years, many stu­ dents may feel that there is no need to purchase a parking space when they can simply park in a 20 minute space and go to their 50 minute class. When students are running late to a class, they would rather park for an hour or two in the 20 minute spaces than have to park in their designated lot and run the risk of being late getting to class. But with only a limited number of spaces on campus, these need to be treated as they are designated - as 20 minute spaces. Now that the lot behind the post office has been converted into all faculty and staff parking, the prob­ lem seems to be getting worse. The university has provided more 20 minute parking spaces in front of the post office to make up for the ones lost in the conversion. However, just because the lot has moved to the front of the building does not mean the problem has been corrected. The 20 minute spaces in this lot are for people who simply want to run in to the post office and check their mail or make a visit to the in­ firmary (not that there has ever been a time when a student has been able to visit the infirmary in 20 minutes, but that is an entirely different editorial). Possibly, the university could look into lots where meters monitor parking time, or sde about the feasi­ bility of installing pay-by-the-hour lots. In pay-bythe-hour lots, the first 20 minutes could be free. This wpuld relieve the endless hours that the orangevested parking monitors would be forced to patrol for 20 minute space abusers. Certainly it would be nice to make their jobs a little easier. member of these particular organizations, then don't rush. paint of the tunnels around campus. I realize that the Greek system is more popular in some schools than in others. On the other hand I have never seen a social group more brutally bashed than at Appala­ chian. I have asked around campus "Why is it that you don't like Greeks?" The student responses were all pretty much the same. "I don't know why. I just hate them." Some chose to expand on that statement by saying that "fraternities and sororities are only for rich upper-class snobs!" Well I took it just a little bit further and checked with the fraternities and sororities, and most were not from the higher socio-economic echelons of our society. I'd say that most of the charter members at this university are from middle class background. Some upper and some lower, but middle class just the same. When asked "Why did you chose to join?" their re­ sponses were extraordinary. They all essentially said that they wanted to be part of an organization at school where they could meet people that they were more compatible with. Also that they wanted to have fun and build the everlasting friend­ ships that stand up to time. So far, I have found this to be true. I spent the summer with my girlfriend visiting her sorority sisters and go­ ing to see some of them get married. Each time I met them they were happy to see me and I found them to be very giving and fun-loving people. They were person­ able and easy going and a refreshing joy to be around. There are some things I would like to change about my summer but the week­ ends I spent with them I wouldn't. In fact I wouldn't trade those memories for anything. I've had a lot of fun in my life but I have never had so much fun crammed into a series of weekends in my life. It was like i had guiit to school I IIUVJ gone IU otnuui with them. That was how 1 their memories with me freely and I enjoyed each and every story they told about the things they did while they were in school. If you don't want to be a member of these particular organizations, then don't "rush." It is as simple as that. If you want to, then check into each one and see which one suits you best. If you have friends that maybe want to rush, don't discourage them or badger them or criticize them for their choice. College is all about free expression. Espe­ cially up here at Appalachian.

This, fearfully, may lead to more abuse of the 20 minute spaces' since they will still be the closest things to many stu­ dents classes. Hopefully, we will see some changes before we must look for a parking space to park in while we drop our grandchildren off for the semes­ ter. The next time you must run into the post office or the student union and park in one of the 20 minute spaces, do your best to observe the time limit.

If you don't smoke, you ave a problem when some­ body else is smoking near you, on the same plane as you, in the same building as you, or on the same street corner as you. If you are a smoker, you have a problem with nonsmokers who are constantly complaining about your smok­ ing, paying high taxes in order to smoke, and the fact that there is a push to outlaw smoking. Well I am a non-smoker and I only have one problem with it. No, it's not because it causes lung cancer, birth defects, emphysema, or the social stigmatisms of yellow teeth, bad breath, or smoke-filled clothing. No, it isn't even the spector of second-hand smoke. What I hate the most about smoking is that it takes up too much time. Think about it. My wife smokes, so I see it first hand. Before she can do anything in the morn­ ing she smokes a cigarette. You're probably thinking that this takes only a few minutes. For argument's sake, let's say five minutes. The average smoker smokes a pack a day. This is 20 cigarettes. Five minutes, twenty times a day is 100 minutes. Granted, some of these cigarettes were smoked while doing something else. So we will say that about half were smoked while doing other things, like driving to and from work, or while reading a book or watch­ ing television. This leaves about 50 minutes per day wasted just on smoking cigarettes. That's just the tip of the filter though. What about the time that is wasted throughout the day getting a cigarette? I can't count the times I've heard my wife say, "Have you seen my cigarettes?" or "Hold on, I think I forgot my ciga­ rettes." or "Wait just a minute, I've got to go get my ciga­ rettes." Let's say 15 minutes a day is wasted in those situ­ ations. Also, what about the time spent going to the store specifically for cigarettes? I have seen it all to often. My wife will be getting ready for an evening at home, She's sitting on the couch, watch­ ing television or reading a book. She reaches for her cigarettes and notices that there is only one left. She needs to go to the store. Of course, she can't just get up and go to the store. She needs to get ready. The clothes she has on are suitable for laying on the couch, but in no way are they suitable for public scrutiny. So she finds something elso to wear, she puts on her shoes, and she heads for the store. Half an hour later, she is back on the couch, wearing her comfortable clothes with a full pack of cigarettes. Having to go to the store for cigarettes occasionally cuts in on my time directly. Nearly every nigl count on a call from my wife asking me to sto for a pack of cigarettes. It's a running joke ai Cigarette breaks are another thing. It that smokers are constantly taking breaks. T the break room or outside and smoke their cij out anybody in management bothering them, gum, but if I were caught in the breakroom d else but chewing gum management might t wasting their time.

I now all about your (and my own) irst Amendment right. To refer to Powell, an AfricanLhierican, whom you say is captive i the throngs of "the liberal plantaion," is bad.

Blacks were expected to learn early where this line lay and never forget it." Sound familiar? Mr. Nolte, let's have a little his­ tory lesson. African-Americans may no longer be legally whipped. They do not work on plantations. And more whites are currently on welfare than blacks. But if you and others continue to espouse such beliefs, whether publicly or in private, they and the rest of the United States may as well be in chattels for all eternity. Your comments demonstrated lack of thought, were denigrating, distasteful, and generally rude. But sadly, and most importantly, they pro­ claim your ignorance. The last thing one should be in college, where the most opportunity lies to educate one­ self, is ismoiant. Sadly, Mr. Nolte, I, and many others across this campus, see you as just that. Todd Finch ASU17852 To the Editor: John Nolte made quite a bold statement in last Tuesdays Appala­ chian in professing to understand the inner workings and motivations of the entire female species: "Don't let feminists fool you- Faulkner epito­ mizes today's feminism. Only inter­ ested in sticking her finger in the eye of the male establishment. When it was time to put up, she passed out." To let you in on a secret, all self-re­ specting women who consider them­ selves on equal standing with men ( not necessarily greater) are feminists. Whether they are vocal on issues in­ volving women's rights (unfair estab­ lishments or not) they are feminists. Based on this, I would be inclined to say that the vast majority of women in the United States are, in fact, femi­ nists. It seems to me that you are us­ ing one person's failed struggle to cat­ egorize women as being able to fol­ low through with anything they be­ lieve in. Maybe you need to take a look at the real world, rather than at the microcosm your closed mind has created. Jennifer Moore ASU Box 5106 Parking problems To the Editor inis tall, you may notice that more of the faculty are ill-prepared and half-hearted about their teaching. This is not your fault! The reason is that our morale has been flattened by the Appalachian administration which has discovered that its employees, the very people they are supposedly pay­ ing to provide quality service to you who pay a lot of money for that ser­ vice, can also be a source of revenues for the university. The staff and fac­ ulty now have to pay $100 to try and find a parking space near to where they work and a $48 fee to utilize the Quinn Center to maintain their bod­ ies which are dissolving at their com­ puters. Until now, I have always given my students 100% in the classroom; my faculty evaluations rank the highest in my department and last year I was nominated for the College of Arts and Sciences' Outstanding Teacher Award. But now I find myself driving to an Appalcart stop, parking illegally, wait­ ing for the Appalcart (which isn't al­ ways on time), and arriving at work significantly later than I had in the past. (I used to come in at 7 a.m. to prepare for class!) Moreover, upon arriving at work, I feel that nobody cares about the job I am doing here. I am only rewarded with an annual raise Is a b i g g e r campus better? To the Editor: While reading through the first issue of the Appalachian for this school year, I no­ ticed two large cover stories that really made me think. They told of more freshmen than ever and more construction on the way. After reading the articles and talking to peers about these is­ sues I started to real­ ize that a large part of my decision to come to Appalachian in the fall of '92 was that it was relatively small and seemed to offer a lot for a school of its size. Therefore, I think with the great faculty and competitive admis­ sions that we have we should strive SGA, Men's Service Club, Legends staff, A.RRS., and Alpha Phi Omega, forfeited their night of fun to help manage the event. Also, your Student Affairs Administrators volunteered their evening to support the back to school ritual. But, this "thank you" note is meant to bring attention to two im­ portant elements of the campus com­ munity that rarely receive any posi­ tive recognition. I refer to Appala­ chian Security and the Physical Plant. To administer to all the needs of an affair of this magnitude required the enlisting of support of all available personnel from each department. Many of these workers had already put in a full work shift, and then added another shift to work for the party. If you couldn't tell the following morn­ ing that onehalf of the entire enroll­ ment had a great party in the middle of campus it was because the Physical Plant grounds crew came to work as soon as the music stopped. From 3a.m. to 6a.m. they swept, picked up and hosed the area clean. So, the next time you happen to walk by an ASU Secu­ rity officer, or one of the "folks in green" working to help keep the cam­ pus community safe and clean why not say "hello" and let them know they are appreciated. port with my silence an article which perpetuates a standard of ignorance on Appalachian's campus. If critiques must be written about the works on campus for a change, please respect that which is being critiqued. Act like representation of the arts or| Appalachian's campus, not just a fo cus on the ridiculous. In the past there have been few articles about the event; and activities sponsored by the Art De partment, perhaps if there had beer more I would noi have found this sin gular article so of fensive. Even if the negative is whai must be stressed please focus or more important is sues, such as the re cent instances ol vandalism and thefl that have affectec our campus sculp tures. In the future I hope that The Appala chian will continue to produce the quality student pa per that I have en joyed for the pasi three years. I alsc hope there will be £ sensitivity to the complete represen tation of the various departments or Appalachian's campus. a journalist and take the time to re­ search and consider various and in­ tellectual viewpoints, rather than sim­ ply reflect a single-minded ignorance. Now, I understand that the article may have been intended as humor­ ous or as mere filler, and that is ac­ ceptable as long as there is a complete Randy Kelly Block Party Committee Office of Student Programs Chris Kaczmarel Student Art League Presideni ASU Box 18256 which falls below inflation and am charged fees for things which should be faculty privileges. Why don't I pay the $100 to park where I work? My salary is slightly less than that of the average carpen­ ter. Each month, after I have paid my mortgage, car loan, university loans, insurance, and day care fees, I have approximately $300 left to buy my family's food, clothing, gasoline, etc., and maintain our car and home. Sev­ eral times last year we had no money. We do not have a savings account. I can't afford to park where I work or to use its facilities! Please forgive me and my col­ leagues. You deserve the quality edu­ cation that you're paying for. But in­ stead, the administration is robbing its employees to build a parking deck for you. Who needs an education when you have a parking deck? Thomas R. Whyte Anthropology Department To the Editc 1 honestly did not know if I should lnii<>h or rrv at Vice Chancellor Jane Helm's comments in "Parking Fee in­ creases $30 (August 29). But, there it was in black and white. The vice chan­ cellor believes the "most serious prob­ lem on campus" is parking! Hello! This is an institution of higher learn­ ing, not better parking. to remain a "small" school with very high standards rather than a larger school with lower standards. The real question is whether or not Appalachian will continue to at­ tract smart, caring students. If I had to make a decision on where to go to school this fall, Appalachian's future Student claims "female abuse" To the Editor: 1 want to start off by saying that there is something that is becoming more prevalent on University Cam­ puses these days and in society as well. FEMALE ABUSE. The only thing is that a lot of females do not report the abuse and the ones that do are pretty much treated like a common criminal. It is often believed that the female de­ served it. I am a student at Appalachian and I have reported wrong doings against me since March of '95, but no one has taken me seriously or has really done anything about it. Last March, after much abuse, I broke up with my boyfriend and in about one hour there were posters all over campus stating "Are you ready for a good time? I am day or night. Call for your appoint­ ment". My full name and telephone number was printed. Do you remem­ ber seeing this? I went to the ASU police to report this but nothing was ever done be­ cause they said it was very difficult to prove who did it. It wouldn't take too much of a brain to figure that out. The guy confessed and promised not to do it again so we ended up togethermuch to my sorrow. Since then I have been beaten up twice by him, once off campus, for which he is currently awaiting trial. The second time I was approached and assaulted on campus and was told that if I did not drop the legal charges things were going to get nasty. I did not report this immedi­ ately to the Appalachian police be­ cause, like before, they would prob­ ably do nothing. However, I did call my lawyer and he said to tell the judge when we went to court four days later. Much to my dismay, court was re­ scheduled because he had not retained an attorney. When spring semester ended, my female roommate and I agreed to let a male friend from my nearby home­ town, and who knew my previous boy­ friend, move into the apartment since Well, if parking is our most seri­ ous problem, I assume we should in­ vest most of our resources into solv­ ing this debacle. Maybe we can tear down some more churches and pave the entire town of Boone. The prob­ lem, Vice Chancellor, is not parking, its too manv damn cars. Mavbe we need to put a cap on the number of parking spaces we will allow on our campus. What a novel idea! Our administration really needs to look at the congestion problems on campus and come up with solutions that treat the cause (cars) and not the plans to grow might seriously influ­ ence me to look elsewhere for a tighter community and a more per­ sonal education. And so while great programs like the Cove Creek Farm are being cut, more and more construction contin­ ues. Will this really at­ tract the quality stu­ dents that we want? I suppose we will see soon enough. So Joe Watts, if our current size "affords us sense of community that we might not have if we were bigger," why should we have a growth policy at all? Bigger, as we all know, is not always better. Carter Maden ASU Box 15905 symptoms (lack of parking). I'm cer­ tain almost everyone who attends school here realizes that we have "more serious" problems than parking. We need to look no further than our own library. It would also be a good idea to make sure we do not allow our off-campus sites, such as the AppHouse in Washington, D.C. and the New York City loft to be lost. I hope our administration attempts to solve these "serious problems." Paul D. Roof ASU Box 17449 Faulkner got what she deserved To the Editor: Obviously the columnist who wrote the article "Faulkner deserves better has no idea of what went on in South Carolina or the Citadel for that matter. Let me start out by saying that she (the columnist) should research what she is writing about. I realize this is harsh, but I also realize that the real issue in the Faulkner incident has es­ caped the author. She wrote that she had heard more about how short Faulkner's hair would be, surd rhe ex­ tra security that would be needed than she cared to. This js the real reason! When asked why she wanted to attend the Citadel, Faulkner cited as her rea­ son, that it was a one of a kind institu­ tion, a one of a kind education, and a one of a kind experience, however, when the first female ever to attend walked onto the campus, she com- see Faulkner page 9 he had no place to live. I was not close to this male so when we discovered he was selling drugs I called the po­ lice and turned him in. I'd rather he go than for all of us to get busted for something we weren't doing. This, I discovered later, cost this student a conviction, court cost, community ser­ vice, plus his RA job when he was screened by the school. So now I am facing the biggest battle of my life. These two guys got together and are now trying to pros­ ecute me at the university by charg­ ing me with dropping one of their class schedules during the summer. If you do not know this, you register by phone at ASU. In order to register you have to have a social security number, a pin number, and sometimes an ad­ visement number, any of which I did not and do not know of this male stu­ dent. The school has allowed this charge to stand. Where is my justice? Remember the posters and the two assaults - one which left me with bruises for two weeks. Back to the main issue, what I am being charged with? Am I the victim or what? My ex-boyfriend has brought false charges against me at Appalachian so that he could intimidate me into drop­ ping the charges in legal court. The other guy is his witness and is stating that I confided in him that I did it. If I ever did anything remotely criminal, I sure would not tell anyone. Give me some credit. The only thing the school can go on are the statements made by these two males. I was encouraged by the school administration to drop the legal charges and " get on with my life." Even though this is my situation, I am not going to let this get me down because this is my last semester here and hopefully justice will prevail and that I will be able to finish my last se­ mester here. So when you look for help don't necessarily count on it because if you do you might just get disap­ pointed like I have been, and am now, in this university. Claudia Campbell ASU box 13655 Faculty should not have to pay for Ouinn, Mt. Mitchell c e n t e r s To the Editor: I am writing in response to the recent article printed about the de­ cision of the Student Government asking faculty and staff to pay a fee of $48 dollars to use the Quinn and Mt. Mitchell Fitness Centers. I am hear to say not all students are in favor of the fee. Faculty and staff are not the only ones who are con­ cerned. The argument that faculty are here at Appalachian longer than most students is valid. The faculty and staff stay on campus to teach, while we graduate and enter the real world. Without the faculty, none of us would be making this journey. Giving the faculty free access to the fitness centers is a way the students can say we appreciate them. Yes, faculty is paid for their services by the university, but can we not give a little pay back of our own? The Quinn and Mt. Mitchell centers are fringe benefits the fac­ ulty and staff should have without question. The faculty at Appala­ chian work way and above their duties with little pay and only small increases in their salaries. I feel for the students who feel the fitness centers are too much for the faculty to ask for. Furthermore, only half the faculty and staff use these centers, and last time I checked there was not a line forming due to faculty usage. I believe the faculty is not "whining" over the cost of the fees, but over the principal. I will con­ tinue to "whine" with our staff and wonderful faculty members. As far as I am concerned the faculty pull more than their own weight. Heather Wright ASU Box 8536 �The Appalachian 7 Se Page 8 Ptemb, 'err Perpetual parking problems persist Tim Nicholson Columnist Facts: Appalachian is crowded; college people need to park; emergencies erupt; deadlines loom. There are 7,000 campus drivers who have parking stickers. In the past the university traffic division has written about 28,000 tickets in a o year, generating about $435,000. Excuse me if I seem confused, but how many parkers don't break the law? The ones who get the best places? The ones who never have to meet urgent deadlines. The ones who have plenty of time with their college loads? • in !1 How can 7,000 people pay $ 100 each and still afford to come up with another $400,000 in penalties? Are these the same people? My theory is that the criminals might be pressured into bad parking by a little thing called school, a little thing called their permanent record. Those things all make getting a ticket worth it. It makes for a perfect set-up. Give students and staff deadlines. Give them too few spaces to fight over. Then just wait. They come out like roaches, parking pests. How do we make deci­ sions about parking fees and fines? Do the people who make the policy have good parking spots? Do they even live in Boone, or hang out on campus? Most don't. A few live here, like Darby Weaver, the Student Government Association president. She faced the Board of Trustees alone. She had a week from the time of the final meeting-in summer, when she was still new at her job. There were no students around, or time to organize discussions of al­ ternative plans. I can't say for sure that the plan was to avoid a controversial battle, but it does look funny. Ask anyone the most controversial issue on campus this fall. At Mountain­ eer Apartments we get to pay an extra $100 this fall. You can hear discussions every day. Why didn't we get a say? So much for politics. good, friendly human beings. Appala­ chian campus security deserves praise and appreciation. Life is good, and I feel safe here. The workers only try to make this crowded, impossible situation more bearable. Still the scope of the problem demands a discussion and a search for a better way. The time and money are already spent. There must be solutions somewhere out there. At least the chance to talk it out and get it off our chests. For desperado students, tick­ ets can pay for themselves in good grades, with better work turned in on time, appointments kept, and even in case of real emergencies. The parking can't really get much better because Boone, the state and people like us need Appalachian. I think it makes these mountains even better, financially, cul­ turally, more fun. Parking matters. we could control the traffic, and accommo­ date the desperate, and eliminate the illegality and quilt. These factors alienate and create con­ flict between the policy makers and the people they serve.

The Citadel is different from other institutions because there is one stan­ dard for everyone. Nobody gets spe­ cial treatment, and no one is allowed to bend the rules because of their dif­ ferences. When Faulkner was allowed to attend the school this changed. Her hair was not shaved off like the other ca dets. No cadet in history had ever had a separate bathroom and living quarters. Faulkner did. This does not sound to me as if there is one standard, but two separate standards. So the whole reason that Shannon Faulkner went to the Citadel was wholly, completely, and utterly deci­ mated by none other than herself. Kind of a bitter sweet irony don't you think? As if destroying the sanctity of the school wasn't enough, she has the audacity to arrive at the school so ut­ terly out of shape, that she was un­ able to make it through her first week. Now this is not to say that women can­ not keep up with men, because I know many women who could put myself to shame when it comes to exercise, but this again comes to me as a bitter it was a man trying to enter into an all-female school, I would be totally against that as well! 1 personally hope that either the Citadel or South Caro­ lina sue Ms. Faulkner for the time, money, and inconvenience that they suffered.

So again 1 say to the columnist, please be sure of the details of your story, and the real issues at hand. I am sure that if Ms. Faulkner had an acceptable application good enough to enter the Citadel, she will no doubt be able to get into a fine University anywhere in this great na­ tion. The Citadel is different from other institutions because there is one standard for everyone. sweet irony. So as we can see, this issue has nothing to do with equal treatment between women and men, but rather a noble effort at keeping the sanctity and unequaled experience of an institution like the Citadel just as it was when it was founded.

STARTS FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8TH AT A THEATRE NEAR YOU. �Tea tures New fitness The best outdoor leisure center makes C! d working out convenient you've probably never Clay Barbour Features Editor it E Leah Rubin Reporter h u Breaking out of lazy everyday habits of­ ten seems frustrating. The Mt. Mitchell Fit­ ness Centre is now here to help. Offering classes in yoga, karate and aerobics, and lo­ cated centrally on campus, the center may be the answer to all of your fitness prayers. Unlike most campus activities throughout the week, these classes are designed to reduce stress. After Bless Burke's first yoga class she said, "it was soothing and relaxing." The Mt. Mitchell Fitness Centre "is really new and up to date," said freshman trent Peterson, who prefers the Cybex equipment over free weights. Noel Barkley agrees, "I like the equipment better because I don't like free weights. This equipment tones my muscles rather than making them bulky." Appalachian Recreational Sports Facility ( Supervisor, Melissa Crabtree says, "the Plemmons Student Union is extremely conve­ nient because it is located on the primary side of campus where most classes are offered." This makes working out a great deal easier on those who enjoy exercising before lunch or be­ tween classes. Fitness and Facilities coordina­ tor, Sherry Crane says, "the center is able to meet the needs of faculty and students by pro­ viding a central meeting place for eating, ex­ ercising, and studying." This facility offers A wide range of equip­ ment varying from a weight room, cycles, re­ cumbent bikes, step machines, and dumbbells. While some students prefer to break a sweat with free weights, the center was created mainly for the Cybex equipment. Due to the i offices located below the center, the free weights would cause disruptions. However, free weights are being considered for next year. Yoga will be offered at 6:30 p.m. on Mon­ days and Wednesdays. This exercise is great for muscle toning, stretching, and flexibility. All of the activities offered at the center are free of charge and are taught by qualified in­ structors. If you are more interested in mind con­ trol, karate may be the ideal exercise for you. The karate instruction allows for you to ad­ vance in belts and it creates self-discipline through self-defense. Even if you just want to try a class out, all you have to do is show up ready to break a sweat and learn about Mar­ tial Arts. Ryan Frye, who has received three black belts in American karate, Carucado, and Tae Kwan Do, will be instructing the class on Mondays and Wednesdays between 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. Those students who have any experience in karate are invited to attend the Martial Arts Club in the varsity gym. Any ques­ tions? Contact Ryan Frye at 266-7061 or at his ASU box# 12462. A variety of aerobic classes are offered to meet the particular needs of students. The aerobic classes consist of toning, low impact, step, slide, and aerobox. Don't worry about getting ahead of yourself. The classes are de­ signed at a pace in which you are able to ad­ vance into higher levels. With all of these options available, the Hebron Rock Colony (top picture) is a favorite spot for students to catch a few rays, hike, Mt. Mitchell Fitness Centre creates an envi­ or play in the waterfalls. Laurel Creek Falls (lower picture) is a favorite swimming hole to ronment where you can control your own many of the locals and students alike. (Photos by Ken Larking) level of fitness and learning. r p i i i w Picture this: you get out of classes early, your homework is d0ll; all you can think about is getting outdoors to enjoy the local scenery, w lies the dilemma. How can you enjoy the mountain atmosphere 2 fighting the crowds and paying an arm and a leg to do so? Actuallv^ are more 4.1 than a few great areas «-a Vi.'lra ri.n'm or inet- enjoy the to hike, swim, or just around Boone. Two such areas are the Hebron Rock Colony anch Creek Falls. While they have managed to avoid the attention of t0: these two areas have enhanced their appeal to the local populati0 offer more in the way of recreation than any of the other more pubjj locations. Located off of Old Shull's Mill Road, Hebron Rock Colony is thei popular of the two. Students have long passed the information of its^j abouts like a secret to be known only by those who suffer the daily res of classes and homework. Dale Taylor, a freshman at Appalachian sai sister told him of the Colony's existence. And make no mistake, there chance of accidentally finding this place. One must be given direct® good directions. Once you arrive at the Colony's parking area, prepare yourself mild 15-minute walk before you actually reach the rocks. Students of ogy will probably enjoy the walk as much as they enjoy the rocks 1 with mountain vegetation, the path is quite enjoyable in its own right However, once you break through the forest and come face to with the stream cascading down the rocks, the 15-minute walk disapp5 from memory. Honestly, to call these massive formations rocks does til great injustice. They are boulders: bigger than a truck, yet smaller th house. The boulders work their way down the slope of the mountain water cascading from different points along the way. At first look, it seems as if you've entered some prehistoric region a caveman is the next sitght you expect to see. However, the bikini bodies sunning themselves on the boulders quickly dispel that notion. According to Appalachian senior Brian Mahoney, this location hasii to offer from waterfalls to hiking trails. "I love playing in the falls theri It's cold at first, but you get used to it," says Mahoney. Some students enjoy bringing their dogs to the colony. The easily d able rocks make for a perfect playground: Dan Haigler, a former Ap chian student, says, "My dog, Garnett, gets a real kick out of this are. helps tire her out before we head home." The most popular activity at Hebron requires the least amount p ergy. Most students enjoy just laying on the boulders and catching a rays. Jenny Ruggieri, a freshman at Appalachian, says she enjoys the because, "It's beautiful and peaceful out here. It makes you forget ah lot of things — you just sit back and enjoy nature." Another former! lachian student who enjoys sunbathing at Hebron is Alison Edmistt like it because it's so serene and no one is usually around," she says So, whether you like to "rock hop" as Appalachian senior, Andy£ij does, or enjoy the sun like senior, Bethany Cogswell, Hebron Rockfll( has just about everything you're looking for. 3R Laurel Creek Falls is located on the other side of Boone, just oK north toward Mountain City. Known by most who frequent the an "Trash Heap Falls," this small recreational spot offers a cozy quaintnes; escapes the Hebron Rock Colony. After a brief walk from the road you come to the actual falls. (j again you feel as if you've stepped back in time. At any moment anta could step out of the brush and you would not be surprised. Laurel Creek offers two sets of falls: a large fall that feeds into a! low pool, and above that, a small fall that feeds into a rather deep a ming hole. According to Steve McDowell, a part-time instructor at Apj chian, the pool is deep enough to dive into from any of the surrouc rocks. McDowell, who has been coming here for the past 30 years,! "The area was originally used to feed the waterwheel of a mill." Although the area is commonly known as "Trash Heap Falls," don the name fool you. There are no trash heaps here. In fact, the area g( name from the dumpsters that were located in the present parking all While the area is becoming more popular with the students at Apj chian, McDowell says, "It stays a lot cleaner than it used to. People are more conscientious about taking their trash with them when they 1 now." What McDowell likes most about the area is the privacy it affords "It's really nice when I come out here early and there is no one arou says McDowell. Another frequent visitor, Harold Booty, says, "It's just b tiful and quiet up here." What both of these spots offer is a chance to enjoy the mountains* out having to wrestle with tourists. This, as anyone who has been her a while will tell you, is information worth its weight in gold. So thei time you find yourself looking for something to do, consider the Het Rock Colony or Laurel Creek Falls. They're beautiful, fairly secluded, f and best of all — no tourists. The lollipop look' comes to Appalachiar Jennifer Spiess Reporter •Ml ill I Sugar and spice and everything nice; that's what little girls are made of. Say good-bye to grunge — the lollipop look is in. Young women and twenty-somethings are walking around in baby-doll dresses, stockings, overalls, and sporting Hello Kitty backpacks over Eastpack as well as tin lunch boxes over brown bags. It's like "Excuse me, is that Osh Kosh B'Gosh you're wearing? Or, like, did your little sister dress you this morning?" Baby pastel blues and pinks, tiny-tees, Mary Janes and saddle shoes, patent-leather pocketbooks, big girls trying to dress like little girls; it's a return to innocence with the "I don't want to grow up look." I think Donna on Beverly Hills 90210, with her Barbie look-alike wardrobe, helped start the trend. Micro-mini skirts, little plastic baby barrettes, teeney Barbie tees — have you been playing in my little sister's closet? And then of course there's Courtney Love's Hole tee with the Hole wannabe Barbie oval. Did you know that Barbie is the latest fashion icon? Calvin Klein, where are you? Appalachian freshman Clay Brown likes the look, "If you like it, go'for it." He goes on to say that people should go with what they like and not worry about what others think of them. Tara Clark, another Appalachian freshman, says, "Only some people can get away with it." Like, it takes a certain person to dress that way and Alicia Silverstone, Newsweek's "It Girl of '95," and star of the movie "Clueless," is one of them. Silverstone plays Cher, a baffled Beverly Hills teenager who uses a computer program to pick out what she's going to wear. And I'm all like, yeah — as if. Actually cuteness has been around for a while. It started out in a form known as Sophomore Jennifer Spiess (above) models the 'lollipop look'on her way to class.

Edwin McCain on Sept. 14 �The Appalachian 7 q* e ° pti Page 12 LPI IIPOP Appalachian gets a computer store continued from page 10 "cutecore," an attitude associated with underground punk music and raves. What exactly "cutecore" is, is another question. Chip Taylor of Grapevine Music comments, "That's a new one on me." But everyone wants to be cute now. Britain has "cute" bands like Shampoo and Pooh Sticks. We have Hole and Veruca Salt. Cute names, right? Hole is the name of an ani­ mated lion (I like Simba better), and Veruca Salt is the name of the snotty little girl from Charlie and the Choco­ late Factory. As for Tummy Ache and Huggie Bear, I've yet to hear them. Maybe they're little kids' bands or something. So someone somewhere decided to take "retro" a little too far and the cute lollipop look was born. Cute names, cute looks — yes, "cuteness" is the newest trend, an "endless, mar­ ketable commodity" as Newsweek put it. Cute is catching, cute is selling and, in Bloomingdale's, "Clueless" is re­ quired viewing if you're a junior shop­ per there. So, like, if you don't get it, go watch it. "Cute" is complex. Some see "cute" as a reaction against grunge. As Betsey Johnson, a lollipop look de­ signer, comments in Newsweek, after the grunge look's "I can wear my brother's clothes phase... girls wanted to wear things that were very femi­ nine." The little girl inside every woman is saying, "I'm here," and now it's the "I can wear my little sister's clothes phase." I'm not worried. People grow out of phases, and clothes. Not everyone likes this "cuteness" thing. Airwalk makes patent leather shoes and as Appalachian sophomore Gimp (nickname) j>ut it, "You just don't skate in patent leather." Danielle Wray, another Appalachian sopho­ more, says, "I don't see the point in getting all dolled-up for class, " but went on to say that people can dress the way they want to. So, is "cuteness" an immature thing? Appalachian freshman Jamie Wicker, puts it in perspective: "It looks cute... but it's a desperate plea to reenact childhood." Maybe some people just don't quite understand the look. "Cuteness" is definitely a Genera­ tion X thing; an "I don't want to grow up thing." Maybe it's just a harmless "I want to be a kid a little longer thing." But everybody has got to grow up sometime. Movie Review Stuart Crampton Reporter If you build it, they will come. At least that's what university officials are hoping for as the final touches are be­ ing put on the soon-to-be-opened stu­ dent computer store. Scheduled to "boot up" with a grand opening dur­ ing the first part of October, the new computer store will provide faculty, staff and students with quality soft­ ware and hardware at prices so attrac­ tive they could make your floppy disks hard. October 24th and 25th are two days that Appalachian State has looked forward to for years. These dates are scheduled to host the grand opening of Appalachian's much needed computer store. Following in the footsteps of schools like Western Carolina, ECU, NCSU, and UNCChapel Hill, Appalachian will finally attempt to cater to the needs of its most valuable commodity: its stu­ dents. Having a broad array of acces­ sories such as computer cable and disks already available, the new com­ puter store will stock 40 to 50 differ­ ent software titles with the capability of ordering hundreds more when the need arises. Since much of the computer store's reason for opening can be at­ tributed to the Apple Corporation and the generous student discounts that Apple is offering Appalachian, the fo­ cus on hardware will likely center on Apple Macintoshes. AT8cT laptops and PC's will also be common sights in the store as a result of the good deals that AT8iT has also offered Appalachian. "I think the prices that the new computer store will have to offer Appalachian will be so competitive that they will be seen as almost like a service," said the enthused computer store manager Rick Nicholson. "We expect to match up with wholesale prices or better most of the time." Mr. Nicholson and his program coordinators,Vince Piekarski and Greg Langdor\have worked diligently with a very supportive cast of chancelors and others. In addition to giving birth to an efficient and fairly wellequipped computer store that would impress even Bill Gates, the univer­ sity hopes to garnish the store with as much student appeal as possible. For example, the coordinators be­ hind the scenes plan to impliment a widely accessible Apple loan pro­ gram which would allow students, faculty, and staff to receive direct loans from Apple to keep payments at a minimum and avoid having to make huge down payments. Also, frustration-prone computer users can take comfort in the fact that one of the goals of the computer store is to provide distressed customers with any technical support they need. "Considering that the conges­ tion of the computer labs often makes it seem like all 12,000 stu­ dents are trying to type their papers at once, I wouldn't hesitate to buy a discounted computer from the new computer store,"said junior Rebecca Walker. "After becoming aware of how much the computer store's staff wants student feedback, I realized that the computer store really has been designed to help the students," says freshman computer store em­ ployee, Michael Eshleman. In es­ sence, whether you think memory bites is the sequel to "Reality Bites," or whether you are Scooter Com­ puter (doesn't anyone remember School House Rock), itwould be dif­ ficult not to recognize the benefits and good intentions of a student computer store. A sinfully bad movie Steven Mackay Reporter One of the candidates for lemon of the year is the sinfully bad "The Prophesy" (R), a ridiculous flick about a "civil war" of sorts in Heaven that has moved to Earth. Only one person can stop the war. He's a former priest turned po­ lice detective named Thomas Dagget (Elias Koteas), who has lost his faith in life and God. His name is an ob­ vious pun, he's a "Doubting Tho­ mas." Thomas is a generic Hollywood cop. He lives alone in a dingy apart­ ment, smokes like a chimney, doesn't own a razor, dresses like a clotheshorse, and his emotions are out of whack. On the bright side, Tom will have bragging rights at the office. He gets to go one-on-one with Gabriel (Christopher Walken), a sin­ ister arch-angel who has declared war on God.

"We stressed no mistakes this year and irked on it in practice and 1 think it made a of difference. We did not make the misces we made last year," said ASU football ach Jerry Moore. App took the ball on the opening drive and nt 54 yards on 10 plays for a 7-0 lead after mie Coleman gave the offense great field sition with a 43 yard kick-off return.

With 3rd and 5 at their own 16, redshirt freshman Jon Fanning sacked LaRue for an eight yard loss, forcing WFU to punt. Appalachian took over near midfield, and 10 plays and 46 yards later, Satterfield rolled right for his second TD of the night. ASU in­ creased its lead to 24-0 and held that lead at halftime. In the first half the Mountaineers were un­ stoppable on offense and defense. The offense led by Satterfield and Scott gained 187 yards on 38 carries. Satterfield was also 5-9 for 52 yards passing. The App defense held WFU to just 17 plays including three sacks for a total of 18 yards total offense. Appalachian also dominated time of possession with a 11:42 ad­ vantage. However, as all good things must come to an end, so did the Mountaineer dominance. Wake Forest took advantage of the intermis­ sion and with the leadership of a new quarter­ back, Brian Kuklick, clawed their way back into the game. On the opening possession in the second half, WFU varied their attack as they ran and passed their way to their first score on a 39 yard reception by Estes in the end zone. The Deacs capped off the TD with a two-point con­ version after the Apps snubbed their first at­ tempt, but an extremely late offsides penalty against ASU gave WFU another try and the score was narrowed to 24-8. Wake forced Appalachian to three and out and after a 40 yard punt by Allen Guinn, WFU took over at their own 30. Once again, Wake varied their attack with Herman Lewis scram­ bling for 29 yards and Kuklick throwing for 37 more including a 4 yard score to Estes. The App lead was cut to 24-15. Following a couple of failed drives by both teams, ASU mounted a drive from midfield. App receiver Ron Gilliam made a 27 yard re­ ception, moving the ball to the WFU nine. One play later, Lance busted up the middle for eight yards, giving ASU 2nd and goal at the one. The Mountaineers were stopped on second and third downs and elected to go for it on fourth and goal, but Scott fumbled and Wake recov­ ered at the two. The App defense once again stepped up and forced WFU to punt out of their own end zone, however ASU could not capitalize as Satterfield got picked off by Brent Morehead. Wake's of­ fense moved the ball again, this time with the help of a 38 yard reception by Dan Ballou, but two bad passes by Kuklick forced WFU to at­ tempt the field goal, but App linebacker Marvin Hodge was not having any part of that as he swatted away the attempt. The Mountaineers recovered at the WFU seven. The Deacs stepped up and forced a punt. After a good return by Estes, Wake had the ball at App's 36. Kuklick completed a pass to Estes for 33 yards and Lewis earned it the rest of the way to give WFU its third TD of the game, cutting the score to 24-22. With the tension mounting and score ex­ tremely close, the Mountaineer defense stepped up and allowed the offense to run the clock out. App ended their three game skid against Wake and came away with the 24-22 win. Commenting on the game App head foot­ ball coach Jerry Moore stated, "The change in quarterback was big for them, then three of our offensive linemen went down. Our conti­ nuity was gone and with a few dropped balls, it put a damper on the second half. However, we did the things we had to do, the defense stopped them and we had a good punting game, so we were able to run the clock out." The Apps take the field again this Saturday against Edinboro. Game time is set for 7:00 pm at Kidd Brewer Stadium. The Appalachian defense withstood a second half storm by the Deacons on the way to a 24-22 victory.

Although the Mountaineers were not vic>us, the games were very close, with Apichian winning games against UAB and ier. The lady spikers were lead by April "ells and Amy Kolomechuk who both had tanding tournaments, he Lady Apps were hindered by injuries ughout the tournament. Miriam Sealey was unable to participate due to shoulder sur­ gery and is not expected back until mid Sep­ tember. Kathy Granack did play in the week­ end tournament, but was effected by an ankle injury. Coach Markland mentioned that the team had several problems that needed to be worked on. Some of these problems being communi­ cation or? the court and ball control. "The main problem from my standpoint is being unsure about the lineup," said Markland. This weekend the Lady Appswill be travel­ ing to Virginia to play in the Virginia Tech Tour­ nament. There they will be facing tough com­ petition from Virginia, Northwestern, and Vir­ ginia Tech. The Appalachian men's and women's cross country team opened their season Saturday at Bass Lake, Blowing Rock, NC. Both teams fin­ ished second in the meet. The men's team picked up right where they left off last season, with a score of 29. Wake Forest won the meet however, just edging out the Mountaineers with a score of 28. The App harriers, now 3-1, finished strong in the 8000 meters with Tommy Holland finishing first in a time of 25:13. Seth Peoples finished 17 sec­ onds later, coming in second. Losing by one point was hard on the Moun­ taineers. "It was a tough loss and we were hoping to beat Wake, but they are a team to contend with," said assistant coach Mike Kurcio. There were, however, some positives for the harriers. "The team ran a whole lot better and faster than we ran at this point last sea­ son. Also our freshmen did really well and reached their goals for this meet," said Kurcio. A milestone was also reached at the meet. Peoples' time put him 10th on the ASU All Time coach John Weaver. "We got off to a much bet­ ter start than last season and the times were much faster," said Weaver. The team lost by 69 points to Wake Forest, but ended up tied f o rs e c o n dw i t h U N CCharlotte. T h e Lady Harriers were also pleased with their new runners. Christina Olson, a transfer from Brevard Col­ lege, is currently in the number one position for the Lady Apps. She finished 13th overall in the meet with a time of 18:56. "Christina is doing wonder­ fully and Corie Fuchs is al­ ready fulfilling promises. The other freshmen are de­ veloping while learning and training," said Weaver. The men's team next travels to Ra­ leigh, NC on September16 to run against North Carolina State and South Florida. The women's team next meet is on September 9, when they travel to Annapolis, Md. to face Navy and Dela­ ware. "We got off to a much better start than last season and the times were much faster" -John Weaver List. In the final minute, he passed Wake Forest's number one and two runners to finish second overall. "We are all very proud of Seth and his accomplishments," said Kurcio.

But this is a new year for Edinboro. Jack­ son and Dickerson have graduated. A group of new offensive starters hope to pave the way for Edinboro's success. Running back Gerald Thompson rushed for 133 yards in his debut for the Fighting Scots last Saturday in a 21-14 win over Div. II Hillsdale. Chris Hart stepped in as quarter­ back for Edinboro, passing for over 200 yards and one touchdown. However, Hart was picked off three times in the game, which is good news to Mountaineer cornerback Matt Stevens and his pursuit of a conference interception record. More good news for the Appalachian de­ fense will be the fact that Edinboro runs an Iformation offensive set, similar to the one run by Appalachian's offense. Defensively, the Scots are led by Pat Schuster. Schuster had 12 tackles and three sacks against Hillsdale. Edinboro will have to depend on Schuster and his teammates to help stymie the Moun­ taineer ball control offense. The Apps ran 83 plays last Thursday against Wake Forest and held the ball for a full 15 minutes longer than the Deacs.

China, in a virtual two-country race with Australia for the Summer Games of 2000, probably lost a step in the selection process when the government's questionable human rights were revealed to the world. The release of a prominent political dissi­ dent in 1993 was a suspicious move. The gesture seemed too convenient,a move geared toward gaining points with the IOC. Tommy Smith and John Carlos, American track and field medalists in the 1968 Mexico City Games, caused an uproar by raising their gloved fists rather than honor the flag and anthem in a traditional way. Germany hosted the Games in 1936, despite a terrible legacy which was only months away from being truly unmasked. Even the world's greatest spectacle of sport, the games dedicated to good­ will, are prone to the occasional stumble on the road of wholesomeness. The Games are still just games. Imagine the International Olympic Committee selecting your home city as the host of the next Summer Games. Then imagine a guy walking through your neighborhood, mutter­ ing to himself, "Mmm . . . this sure would be a good site for the Centen­ nial Olympic Park. Think well knock down 72 acres of houses and busi­ nesses to make room." Don't let your imagination stop there (unless you're awakening from this daydream-turned-nightmare). As you fight the IOC and your home state to keep your property, you read that a neighboring county has passed an antigay resolution. Olympic spirit?

When faculty enter the Quinn Center they III have their I.D. card run through the scanner to ] ck their eligibility. They can also choose to pay a lily fee of $96 per year, $4 more per month, which DWS facility access for themselves and eligible fammembers. Last year's Student Government Association posed this fee to Dr. Gregory Blimling, vice chanor for student development. J.D. Adams, former dent body president, spoke to the staff counsel |i faculty senate last spring, and neither group ed for the fee. The final decision was left up to SGA, facand staff, and the vice chancellors. SGA was in |or of the fee, faculty and staff were not in favor, after much discussion the vice chancellors de:d the fee was reasonable. Moneys paid by faculty members choosing se the facility will go toward the extra fees of the Mt. Mitchell Fitness Center which was added to Plemmons Student Union. Blimling feels the addition of this facility is necessary to accommodate the increase in demand by students, faculty, and staff for use of fitness equip­ ment and the aerobics exercise program. "With the addition of this facility came in­ creased costs," said Blimling. "Included among these are increased costs for staff, equipment, maintenance, heat, electricity, bonded indebtedness, and related costs." He feels that all users of these facilities should pay their part. Approximately $48 per year of student fees go to support the Quinn Center and the Mt. Mitchell Fitness Center, said Blimling. He believes that it is not unreasonable for faculty and staff members who wish to use university recreational facilities to pay the same cost for the use of these facilities that stu­ dents are asked to pay. Increases in student fees made it possible for faculty and staff to continually use the Quinn Center and other facilities on campus at no cost to faculty and staff, said Blimling. Blimling also reaffirmed that faculty and staff members who wish to use the University's swimming pool, or the Varsity and Broome-Kirk gymnasiums, the track at the football stadium, tennis courts, and intramural fields may continue to do so without any cost. "The Hubbard Center continues to run a fit­ ness program for faculty and staff including aerobics, exercise equipment, and consultation on physical fit­ ness," said Blimling. Blimling said he acknowledges the concern of faculty and staff and wishes the state provided them with the money to subsidize the use of student recreational facilities by the faculty and staff. "In good conscience and in fairness to stu­ dents," said Blimling, "I believe the fee is necessary." Permanent faculty and staff who opt to use the facilities can pay through payroll deduction, as they do with parking fees, or can pay it up front at the Student Account Office.

The option of paying for a space according to the time the area is used may come into effect when the parking garage is built. Also, the possibility of basing fees on one's income has been considered. However, at this point, the parking fee in­ crease will have to be paid by all.

Approximately two months ago, the University Police moved from their on-campus facility in the Aca­ demic Annex, to a temporary off-cam­ pus facility off of Dale Street near State Farm Parking Lot. The Traffic Division of the ASU police remains on campus, located in a trailer adjacent to Kerr Scott Hall, near Hill Street. According to University Police Director Roy Tugman, the relocation of the campus police is to make room for the anticipated renovation and expan sion of the university's steam plant. Tugman added that the reloca tion of both facilities is temporary, and is expected to last 24 to 30 months at the most. MSA program reinstated Susan Williams Reporter The Reich College of Education will be able to continue to offer a Master's Degree in School Administration. The program had previously been eliminated. "We're very pleased to have the program back," said Dr. Charles R. Duke, dean of the School of Education. Duke also said it was "alumni and so forth contact­ ing the legislature that helped get the pro­ gram back." According to Duke, George Holmes, an Appalachian supporter and state legislator, was instrumental in in­ troducing the legislation that allows Ap­ palachian to keep the MSA program. The current MSA is to be phased out by 1998. However, it will be replaced by a new MSA program that will be in­ stated in 1996. All students currently enrolled in the MSA program will be able to com­ plete their graduation requirements by 1998, and all new students seeking an MSA degree will enter the new program. see MSA on page 2 Appalachian is published with support from Appalachian's Center for Student Involvement and Leadership.

Presendy, Appalachian is negotiating with the Frontier Gas Company, who possesses a provi­ sional contract to bring natural gas to the High Country. If successful, the new plant will burn natural gas, as well as oil. According to Steam Plant Maintenance Supervisor Rick Holmes, bringing natural gas up the mountain is more difficult than state funds, which they claim would be needed to bury a pipe­ it sounds. "Due to the Geographic line in such a mountainous region.

Robbins added that the plant would burn natural gas only when it is less expensive than burning oil. Whichever fuel is not in use would be utilized as a backup energy source. The first step in construc­ tion of the new plant is the demo­ lition of the Academic Annex building, former home to the Cam­ pus Security Office. The annex will undergo a two to three week As­ bestos removal process, scheduled to begin on September 18.

The science building will house two departments: chemistry, and physics and astronomy. It will consist of 112,000 square feet with 50 laboratories, 10 class­ rooms anad additional facilities for stu­ dents. Glaxo Wellcome's gift marks the largest single corporate contribution re­ ceived so far for the fund-raising project. It challenges the university to raise an ad­ ditional $450,000 during the next four years from corporations and foundations. With Glaxo Wellcome's gift, nearly $700,000 has been raised so fan Marilyn Foote-Hudson, director of the Glaxo Foundation, said, "As the country's largest pharmaceutical research firm, we at Glaxo Wellcome understand the importance of improving science and math education in North Carolina. This offers future teachers and scientists an opportunity to increase their hands-on learning experiences that they can then use in their own classrooms to encourage a love of science among their students." Dr. Donald Sink, dean of Appalachian's College of Arts and Sci­ ences, said Glaxo Wellcome's gift is "an impetus for us to acquire a realistic en­ dowment base for the College of Arts and Sciences." While interest from the endow­ ment will be used for the sciences, it will also relieve budget pressures on the 15 other administrative departments within the college. "It will be beneficial for many years to come," Sink said. Glaxo Wellcome has supported Appalachian in the past through its Women in Science scholarships given to female science majors and through a grant to the Harlan E. Boyles CEO Lecture Se­ ries.

Pay up and shut up Last year, the Student Government As­ sociation passed a resolution asking fac­ ulty and staff to pay a $48 fee to use the Quinn and Mt. Mitchell Fitness Centers. The fee, which is now in effect, has come under fire by faculty and staff, who be­ lieve they should not be asked to pay. The faculty senate has posed many arguments as to why they should not be asked to pay. However, none are strong enough to sup­ port students bearing the entire fee for keeping up these facilities. One of the faculties' arguments is that while we only pay for the Quinn and Mt. Mitchell for the four years we are here, they are paying over a long period of time. However, this argument is invalid. Faculty and staff pay the fee while they are em­ ployed by Appalachian. Students must also pay the fee while at Appalachian. The Faculty Senate also addressed the fact that faculty and staff receive only small increases in pay every year. Stu­ dents everywhere sympathize with the fact that teachers don't get paid nearly what they are worth. However, for every year teachers get a small pay increase, students get hit with huge fee increases. Part of these fees are used for maintenance and repair of the equipment in the Quinn and Mt. Mitchell. If they use the same equipment students use, shouldn't they be responsible for a portion of its upkeep? The faculty senate emphasized the point that corporate America often pro­ vides free fitness facilities to their employ­ ees. If this university were a part of cor­ porate America, that argument may stand up. But the last time we looked, Appala­ chian was a non-profit organization. Even so, the university has set up the Fitness Court in Varsity Gym, which fac­ ulty and staff can use Monday through Friday during lunch and Monday, Tues­ day and Thursday evenings, according to Dr. Jim Avant, former director of Recre­ ational Sports. There is also an aerobic workout in the gym three days a week, Avant says. The only requirement for fac­ ulty and staff to use the facilities is that they undergo a free fitness assessment. Overall, faculty and staff are whining over a fee which amounts to four dollars per month. Private health clubs cost be­ tween $30 and $35 per month. That is a savings of up to $372 per year. Also, it is important to remember that while stu­ dents are required to pay this fee, it is not mandatory for faculty and staff. They only pay if they choose to use the facilities. During their meeting, some faculty asked, "Where does it all end?" We stu­ dents want to know the same thing. This is why we think it's high time everyone started pulling their own weight.

The pub­ lic whipping given to Clarence Thomas was a warning to future uppity runaways who wish to emancipate their people from the welfare state. If anything keeps Powell out of this race it will be the knowledge of what happens to prominent black gentlemen in America who threaten the crumbling base of the Democratic party by encouraging independent thought.

You've probably heard that enough times by now to make your stomach turn. This stomach turning could be caused by one of two things: 1) The incessant frequency that people ask you this with a sort of glossy look in their eyes, making it obvi­ ous they have the attention span of a twitchy gnat, or 2) You don't have a terribly good answer. My first two summers away from college were spent at a factory. I made a good deal of money. I don't regret doing so, but when it came time to talk about my summer, mainly I said "hot, loud, and repetitious...like an Aerosmith concert perhaps." It didn't make for much in the way of storytelling. If vicarious living counts for any­ thing, then I'm living it up. One of my closest friends has been on the Appala­ chian Trail all summer long. He was in Vermont last time I heard from him (the trail starts in Georgia). His stories have been some of the funniest and wildest I have ever heard. Often, I wish I was there with him, except for the stories involving weeks of rain and wet gear. Everyone probably has a friend that embarked on some sort of summer ad­ venture; but knowing someone who is having a good time isn't quite enough. We have to actually make an effort to have some fun ourselves, and not just ordinary fun, different fun. The kind of fun that makes for a good story. Just living somewhere other then home during the break is a good step. I'm not say­ ing that living at home is bad, like I said, I did it for two summers. But if you graduate in four years (which is slowly going the way of the Beta VCR) you have only three sum­ mers. The sum­ mer after gradua­ tion doesn't count because much of this time is spent trying to establish a place to sleep and a way to pay for cable TV for the rest of one's life. Three sum­ mers go by very quickly. And obvi­ ously, if you have already used up some of your sum­ mers, then time is of the essence. So go on a trip to New Orleans, stay in a hostile, and eat reasonably. It won't cost as much as the Power Ranger action figures. Or if money is no object, go overseas.

I feel the same should be true about Columbia College, an all-fe­ male, religious institution also sup­ ported by South Carolina. Discrimination should not be state supported. Period. One of the arguments against allowing Faulkner to attend the Citadel was that it would hurt tra­ dition. Tradition is respectable, but in this case, it has gotten out of hand. Tradi­ tion is not enough to al­ low a state supported university to continue to receive tax revenues if that school continues to block certain groups from at­ tending. It is wrong for the gov­ ernment, which operates accord­ ing to the Constitution, to support institutions that don't follow the principles laid out in the constitu­ tion. When Faulkner left The Cita­ del after only a few days, the other cadets cheered. They were shown on television smoking cigars and partying. One cadet held up the now famous bumper sticker read- ing, '1,952 BULLDOGS AND 1 BITCH' and tore it in half. These are the images that people are go­ ing to remember when they think about Faulkner and her struggle. Some will even totally forget that her case was fought based on the tax revenue issue. What I will remember is the news footage of a 20-year-old woman standing under an um­ brella sur­ rounded by reporters. As the rain streamed down her face it mingled with her tears. Weeping, she said that she was leaving. She was unable to deal with the emotional and physical stress that being a cadet requires one to en­ dure. She didn't mention that of the 30 freshmen who would leave that first week she was the 25th, not the first and certainly not the only one. It is sad that when people think of her they won't think of her hard struggle to gain equal treat­ ment, but will concentrate on the human failings of someone who didn't receive humane treatment. Discrimination should not be state supported, An analogy of this putrid exer­ cise would be like going to the su­ permarket to buy a loaf of bread, then going home only to find the cashier there asking for more money because the price of bread had risen after you left the store. Stupid,' ing the 26 dollars for next semes­ ter, if I were told in advance of the raise. However, this new charge came as a surprise.

We're learning more every day about our new and expanded facility." Above the Cascades Cafe on the second floor is the Profile Trail Computer Lab, which makes computers on campus more convenient for students. It consists of 10 Power Macs and all of the software is on USER. The hours of the new lab are MondayThursday 8 a.m.-ll p.m., Friday 8 a.m.-4 p.m., closed on Saturdays, and Sunday 7 p.m.-ll p.m. Above the computer lab is Howard's Knob Patio. The patio serves as a place of tranquillity in the storm of classes. The patio overlooks campus, and students can take their lunch there to eat. However, smoking is not permitted on the patio or anywhere else in Plemmon's Student Union. This is due to bricks that are held to­ gether by a special epoxy that will melt if put in contact with a lit cigarette. It is also is hard to keep the white rocks clean when people are throwing their cigarette butts on them. Come by the new Student Union and see student money materialized. You will find it to be impressive and unique. Sophomore Courtney Gaillard said, "I'm im­ pressed because it is convenient and unlike any other building on campus." Interesting Facts about The Student Union It is one of the only buildings on campus that is run completely by tudents, Even the supervisors are students. The entire new addition - all $9.7 million worth - was built by student 3es only. No state taxes were used. Many of the rooms were designed by students from an interior 'esign class of the 1993-94 academic year. They contributed to what i brie was used, the selection of the furnitmandsorneofthe ccessories. All of the public rooms are named after features of the North 'arolina Mountains. In two months there will be a 24-hour study room located in the ppalachian Study Lounge next to the computer lab on the second oor. It will be accessible through the East entrance near the mphitheater. In one month an art gallery will be open which will contain works one by Appalachian students. The dedication of the building will take place on Friday, September 12 at 2 p.m. •4S/S names wspalachian student ww community wucator jlissa Little 3>orter I OASIS (Opposing Abuse with SerJi , Information and Shelter) has hired [j -w Community Educator, ReVonda ford, who is also a student at Appaian. j I Shuford comes to OASIS with expece in working with group home set/ s, the elderly, and international stu\ ts.

(Photos by Toni Mazzaglia) Students volunteer for community Jennifer Almond Staff Writer Seventy-seven incoming Appalachian students devoted their time and energy to make the first ever New Student Orienta­ tion Community Service Project a rousing success. The project, sponsored and facilitated by members of Appalachian's sororities and fraternities, gave incoming students the opportunity to meet one another and familiarize themselves with volunteer pos­ sibilities in the area. Jim Street, director of phase two ori­ entation, said, "We had no idea what to expect. We were exited to see the number of students who wanted to participate and their level of excitement." On Aug. 22, the volunteers met in the Roan Mountain room in the new Plemmon's Student Union. They chose where they wished to work from five pos­ sible sites: Habitat for Humanity, Project on Aging, Watagua Youth Network, the Humane Society and the Hospitality House. Each site had two coordinators present from the Greek system. According to Street, each service project was a definite success, with all of the students coming together and work­ ing hard. Parker Henderson, who volunteered for Habitat for Humanity, liked the fact that volunteers worked side by side with the people for whom they were building the home. This is known as sweat equity. Sweat equity is when the family donates time and energy to help the volunteers build the family's new home. Teamwork and com­ munity is the focus of the exercise. "Ev­ eryone was working together well," said Henderson. The Watauga Youth Network helped clean up the grounds and trails around Appalachian. Emily King was a group leader for this project. According to King, "All of the students just mixed really well. The freshmen re­ ally benefited from it a lot. It helped them make new friends." The volunteers for the Project on Aging went to a house in Cove Creek and visited with an elderly lady while they washed her win­ dows. Group leader Mike Ellington, said, "This is a good op­ portunity for freshmen to come in and get in­ volved right away. get stud'entT^involved early in the Student community." Everyone returned at the end of the day for a dinner together and afterward, to listen to speakers discuss ways for stu­ dents to get involved on the campus of Appalachian. According to Street, this project got everyone off to a good start for this year. By introducing new students to the many aspects of life within their new commuv nity and acquainting them with other new students, the community and campus can benefit together. According to Street, volunteers are a vital and important part of our commu­ nity. The reward for volunteering is see­ ing the difference one can make in the community or in someone's life. "We will definitely do this again next year," said Jim Street. \ volunteers work with Joe and Donna Eller (middle) to build their new home during the Project.

Most bands that come out of the U.K. evoke the sounds of that hit it big in the 80's, like U2 and Depeche Mode. Often, music coming out of the islands sounds like feeble regurgitations of these past success stories. What a pleasant suprise to hear the new album from Tindersticks, a band which successfully breaks the mo­ notony. In August, this six-piece band released a highly anticipated followup to their 1993 debut. Their self-titled second album de­ livers the goods in a big way, pos­ sibly surpassing the rave reviews of their critically acclaimed debut. The band effectively executes a sound that could possibly be de­ scribed as alternative country. They mesh such diverse influences as country, folk, jazz, beat, 60s soundtracks, old radio commer­ cials and the gloom rock sound unique to England. The album itself paints a gloomy picture while avoiding ut­ ter depression. The eccentric qual­ ity of the music on tracks like "my sister" and the instrumental "vertrauen III" contrast with the lulling, pained voice of vocalist Stuart Staples. On the songs "a night in", "tiny tears", and "talk to me", Staples captures a vocal style reminiscent SCrA Cabinet Position Available If you want your hair to turn white then I've got the perfect helpful hint: go see "Lord of Illu­ sions".

Moore came to Appalachian State in '89 after a year as an asssistant coach at ie University of Arkansas. Before comig to Boone, Moore held two head coachg jobs at North Texas during the 1979 id 1980 seasons and at Texas Tech from >81-1985. In addition to those stints, he is also been an assistant with Hayden y at Southern Methodist University and ith Tom Osborne at Nebraska. During those years as a :ad coach and an assistant, |oore has also compiled an tremely impressive list of ist-season matchups iniding the Orange Bowl ('73 '79), Cotton Bowl ('66, '74, J'89), Sugar Bowl ('74), Fita Bowl ('75), Bluebonnet )wl ('68 & '76), Liberty >wl ('77), and four trips to e NCAA I-AA playoffs, inttiing a trip to last year's arterfinals. With experience like that, is not surprising that the o-time Southern Confer­ ee Coach-of-the-Year ('91 & 1) has compiled a record of 43-28 as a luntaineer. In Moore's seven seasons Appalachian, the Apps have been nanally ranked in the final polls four times d look to be well on their way this year, e Mountaineers are ranked third in the tion this preseason and, although >ore will not speculate, have a legiti­ me shot at the National Championship. Jerry Moore, and his wife Margaret, both graduates of Baylor University d have three children, Chris, Scott, and zabeth. Back on the field, Moore's team is gunig for the Southern Conference Chammship, and if they can once again beat irshall and Western Carolina, should be problem. Moore has never lost to WCU d has won three of the last four against trshall. Good luck Coach and keep up 2 good work. "Wehave a unique group of young men this year... we'll be ready to play." 'Jerry Moore (Photo by Shane Richardson) Last season, the Mountaineers did ev­ erything they were supposed to do in or­ der to beat Wake Forest - almost. The defense kept the Deacons out of the end zone. The offense jumped out to a 10-0 first half lead and racked up almost 300 yards. But a series of turnovers and four field goals by Wake kicker Bill Hol­ lows handed the 12-10 victory to the Deacs. This season, the Mountaineers return 18 starters from last year's squad, all of whom will wear the scars from that loss into Groves stadium as the two teams meet again Thursday. Look for Wake to come out and open things up offensively. "They run a Penn State 1-back set," remarked Mountaineer Head Coach Jerry Mooore. 'Their kids will play good." The single back offense will allow the Deacs more options on the passing game. This will test the young and inexperienced Mountaineer secondary. However, passing against the Appala­ chian defense poses a risk to the Deacons as the Mountaineers reached the oppos­ ing quarterback 51 times in 1994. This total includes 12 by returning defensive lineman Chip Miller and eight more by Dexter Coakley. Coach Jim Caldwell must also be ware of Matt Stevens, who set a Southern Conference record with 10 in­ terceptions in 1994. On th£"other side of the ball, the Apps have more to worry about than just the Wake Forest defense. A recent injury to Scott Satterfield on his throwing hand has left him listed as doubtful at press time. Signal calling duties now fall on the shoul­ ders of sophomore Gerard Hardy. "We're going to do the same things no matter who we've got back there (at quar­ terback)," mentioned Moore. This will no doubt include getting the ball to the backfield tandem of Aldwin Lance and Damon Scott. When Chip Hooks fell to injury last sea­ son, it was Lance and Scott who came to the rescue of the Mountaineers. Lance had a 205 yard rushing performance against Liberty and Scott had a 155 yard outing against Western Carolina the followir week. The Apps were able to move the b | effectively on the ground last seas against the Deacs, gaining 172 rushi I yards. The Mountaineer air attack wl only good for 124 yards in last season's contest. The passing game will have to improve for the Apps in order to avoid another second half let down. 4 tale of two quarterbacks ephen Hensley orts Editor The Appalachian State offense suffered najor set back last week when starting arterback Scott Satterfield recieved 20 ches in his throwing hand. The junior's ssible absence from the line-up will hurt team in a number of ways. Satterfield fourth in the Southern Conference in al offense last season with 2192 total "ds. His 583 yards rushing was the third "it on the team and he led the squad with rushing touchdowns. Furthermore, Satterfield has 15 career tts under center for the Mountaineers, er winning the starting job from Andy lold last season, Satterfield started the eight games of the year.

Normally, a sophomore thrust into this situation would feel a lot of pres­ sure, but not so for Hardy. "Actually, I feel a little less pressure," reported the confident Hardy. "I've got a couple year's under my belt. Now I know what I'm looking for." Hardy, who was handling most of the punt return duties before shifting his focus to quarterback feels comfort­ able in the new role. "We'll stick with the same thing," Hardy mentions re­ garding the offensive scheme.The only differences he foresees is the possibil­ ity of running more play action and op­ tion plays to highlight his speed. With Satterfield healing quickly, it will only be a matter of time before he returns to the starting squad. However, until that time comes, the Mountain­ eer offense will be in very capable hands.

When an­ other Appalachian player went down, Coach Tracey Davis re­ minded the players on the bench that they "only have 16 players." When asked what she thought of her team's play, Davis re­ sponded that they played, "ex­ tremely well." Davis added that they were playing a new system that still contained a few holes. She was very pleased at the com­ posure of her team. The coach has "several strenuous practices" planned before they are ready for the first game. Davis was quick to comment that "Beth Erikson played well in transition." The Lady Apps start their regu­ lar season on Sept. 4 at Liberty. The team will return home Sept. 20 to take on Wake Forest.

This has long been a favorite definition of sports, usually resurfacing time and again after one perceived di­ saster or another. When the 1989 World Series was interrupted by the Bay earth­ quake, some citizens questioned the relevance of a game in the midst of death and random de­ struction. National televi­ sion captured the actual moment of the biggest tremor. In the minutes following, it was easy to see that the 'quake had shattered the di­ visions between fans, play­ ers, coaches, and vendors. What baseball viewers wit­ nessed before the networks took over was a stadium full of people with fear in their eyes. The Series continued. But in the wake of the earth­ quake, as hundreds of thou­ sands began the job of cleaning up, victims and sympathizers alike Nowhere is the life analogy grumbled that the million-dollar more apparent than during discus­ athletes were still only miles away, sions of the various sports figures playing for a championship which we see and hear daily. had lost meaning.

Countless please shut up. Especially if that simple and meaningless game£ do listener is someone, wfeft care a whit for sports. Doc Gooden, the first pitcher ever to earn at least 200 strikeouts in each of his first three seasons, has disappeared over the horizon like a bright but dying comet. Drugs, three family deaths in a year's time (funny how his sorrows and joys seem to come in three's), and shoulder problems have com­ bined to crush the glory of a man who was on the verge of legend. Gooden's buddy, Darryl Straw­ berry, is struggling back into base­ ball after his own fights with substance abuse and tax evasion. Pitcher Steve Howe has been reinstated seven times (seven!), fol­ lowing the same number of drug test failures. There are others: Cinncinati owner Marge Schott. Retired football player Dexter Manly. And then there's always that guy named Orenthal James. For today, Mike Tyson might head this second list, although people sure don't speak of him in the same terms as other "fallen heroes". There's some sort of unspoken hope that Iron Mike was destined to return, to save an otherwise boring world of sports. Despite his rape conviction, he is discussed only in terms of who he'll fight next, or how good he could be after a handful of years in a correctional facility. The fan in you is excited to see the best fighter of our time in ac­ tion ... yet maybe the human be­ ing in you can see the danger of applauding men and women who act questionably toward others. Sometimes it's not enough to know how many homers so-andso has banged in, or what this guy is making in salary for 1995. Some­ times it IS to a fan's benefit, par­ ticularly a young fan, to know a little of the person inside the ath­ letic equipment. So who said sports always had to be spprting? A simple, meaningless game can draw thousands of people in a single direction, at least for a few hours. Start Earning Yours TODAYI - so everyday, taking us away from minor tragedies: car troubles, school, money, and a million other things common to us all. Maybe that's the rationalization. When we wrestle with such controversies (and, luckily, we aren't asked to face them too of­ ten), that phrase reclaims its mo­ ment on the lips of reporters and philosophizing coaches: "A micro­ cosm of life." Such a cliche. But sometimes cliches are true forever. i Ni t* j Top Ten Reasons To Attend The Performing Arts Series: APPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY THURSDAY AUGUST 31,1995 4:00-6:00 PM WAKE S WAKE ASU SENIOR TAILGATE PARTY Featuring OJ Sage from 95.1 Edge Charlotte Available!!!

The Breakfast Club had to cancel their perfor­ mance because there was no way of knowing if the rain would start up again. There was no way to protect them or their equipment.

Their main concerns were the size of the building and the proximity to the dorms. Having the ACC at Sta­ dium Lot would have created an adverse traffic problem and no space to add on to the building existed, said Helm. According to Helm, Appa­ lachian was given the opportunity to buy the greenhouse on Rivers Street this summer. That land was purchased and it opened up more viable space. "The more we talked," said Helm, "pieces started open­ ing up." Helm said this new site was considered as a possible loca­ tion when talk of the ACC first began. The problem then was that Appalachian already had plans on the map for a new police annex building in that general area. The plans to build the annex there also changed this summer. Helm said all these issues allowed the new site to become a reality. wnen tms space openea up and began to be studied again, the main concerns left dealt with flood plain issues. A study was conducted by Ogden Environmental and Engi­ neering Services of Greensboro. Their report allows the planning of the ACC in that site to continue, said Helm. Helm said very few changes of their plans for the building will take place because of the move. The building will still be 200,000 square feet and will seat 10,000 people in the arena. "The architecture and height will be very similar." Helm said the cost for the . ACC will be the same at $30 mil­ lion. The state fully funded the money this summer. The remain­ ing $20.6 million will be given biannually. "We will bid in two parts to accept the facility," said Helm. The first part will be the site prepa­ ration, said Helm, since the sur­ rounding area will need to be ready before actual construction can begin. "We are very excited over the funding," said Helm. "We hope to open in three years." most freshmen take the same courses. This was accomplished by asking faculty to increase the number of sections they teach. Administrators decided to bal­ ance the increase of the freshman class by decreasing transfer stuent enrollment. Instead of 850 trans­ fers, as earlier planned, only 750 were accepted. The university also plans to cut back in the spring by again de­ creasing freshman and transfer Graphic Arts Assistant Needed If you have experience with Aldus Pagemaker, Photoshop and Macintosh computers in general, you are eligible to apply for the position of Graphic Arts Assistant.

These cutbacks are to ensure that the yearly growth of Appala­ chian only increases by between 50 and 100 students. "The low growth policy that ASU has had for the past 10 years is a good one," said Watts.

Although this can be a difficult and stressful task, the perfect employment opportunity is always within reach. Many new technologies, and even the old standbys, can be used in finding your area's most desirable jobs. College students are offered one of the most affordable and helpful re­ sources for their job hunt. Most colleges and universities offer job placement and career development opportunities. Not only can you set up interviews with com­ panies through this office, but they also offer other services. Sometimes they con­ duct resume writing seminars, host job fairs and have instructional classes on us­ ing the Internet. It is very important to check in to all of the options offered at your campus career development center. Some employ­ ers contact the university on recruiting missions. It is convenient to already have your resume on file at the career devel­ opment office - you never know who will get their hands on it! Another valuable resource is the classified section of the newspaper. Many job openings are listed under headings such as professional, automotive, account­ ing and health care. Watching the want ads may be time consuming, but it is a valuable tool for do-it-yourselfers. If you are looking to relocate, most major news­ papers can be found in the public library on a daily basis. Other publications to check are the magazines published by certain asso­ ciations and organizations. If you are looking for a job in public relations or writing, check Editor & Publisher, or Quill Magazine, put out by the Society of Pro­ fessional Journalists. There are usually lists of available positions and opportuni­ ties in the back. Each area of study has some sort of publication that is considered to be an authority. For more information and titles, call any public library. It is important to be careful when answering ads; some of them say "job list­ ing service" at the bottom in small print. These offers are through a job placement service and usually end up costing you money. Others require that you send your resume to a box at the newspaper. Job placement services are an al­ ternative to doing it yourself. There are many that are available to recent gradu­ ates and people who have been laid off or their positions eliminated. Careful re­ search is a must before you sign up with any specific service. A few things to ask when selecting a job service are: • Find out how much it will cost. Some services require a flat rate ($200$400), while some services are free of charge. These services charge companies that come to them looking for people to hire. In some instances, the companies pay the service to see the resumes. In other cases, the applicants pay the services to get their resume in the viewing file. • Ask how long your resume will stay in the service's records. Many ser­ vices will take your resume out of the file after six months, others after a year. Be sure to ask if you can resubmit your re­ sume when the time limit passes. • See if you are guaranteed a cer­ tain number of interviews, especially if you are paying a fee. • Ask if the service only offers outplacement services. Some services only work with people whose positions have been eliminated. These services are hired by companies who lay off people and then pay services to help their former employees find other jobs. • Inquire about the service's Internet capabilities. If you are wanting a job in another city, you need to find out if the service has the ability to get your resume out on the information highway. The Internet, a computer system that can be accessed from anywhere in the world, can be an extremely valuable tool in find­ ing jobs in other markets. Not only can job services have access to the Internet, but anyone with a computer modem can put his own resume out in the World Wide Web, a conglom­ Helpful addresses on the Intern et 1.

I instantly recognized the male spe­ their children might see on television. Unfortunately it is not that simple. There are problems with this legisla­ tion that should not be ignored. First of all, the V-chip bill advocates a form of censorship. Somebody, other than parents, will decide what programs are suitable for children to watch. For ex­ ample, an award-winning show like "ER" might be lumped with the no-brainer bi­ kini drama "Baywatch." If parents wanted to keep their kids from watching bad ac­ tors run around in skimpies for an hour, there is the possibility they may be cut­ ting out quality shows as well. Also, if a rating system were enacted, certain programs will likely lose advertis­ ing revenue based on what rating it re- ceived. This would give big companies too much control in deciding what the public watches on television. (It's not as if they do not have enough power already.) Producers would likely be forced to change the original content of a show, in order to get a more favorable rating, thereby increasing advertising revenue. The movie industry is a perfect ex­ ample of what is wrong with this. Many movie producers attempt to aim for a spe­ cific rating, based on which one they feel would make them the most money, often times cutting, rewording and distorting the original plot. Furthermore, when it comes to mak­ ing money most are conservative. Nobody wants to take chances where their money is concerned. If the ACME Tennis Shoe company wants to buy advertising space, they will likely seek the largest audience. If a show gets a rating that is likely to be blocked in some homes, it will have a smaller audience, and as a result receive less in revenue. All this will occur because of the decsion of a handful of people far removed from it all. Another fault with the legislation is that it asks everyone to buy a V-chip, whether they plan to use it or not. Ex­ perts in the manufacturing industry have stated that this modification would likely cost the consumer and additional $40 . Basically, some people will be forced to throw 40 bucks away. How would you like it if the govern­ ment forced you and everyone else in America to buy a vase everytime you bought flowers? Sounds pretty ridiculous, huh?

Besides, smoking Beware of sudden independence •Freshmen should be wary of their new freedoms Tim Nicholson Columnist College will get you if you don't watch out! Twelve years of public school can lead you over a cliff. You'd expect that school is school, right? No. The government forces you to go to high school. You go to college for yourself. That difference makes all the difference. I remember my first year of college. It was quite a shock. Freedom. My own decisions. I dropped out after three weeks and didn't even bother to withdraw until the last week of classes. Nobody cared, except my parents. It was not like high school. Twenty-five years later I tried again. I was ready this time. Learning skills fade, but motivation drives you. High school should prepare you for college, right? No, instead it takes away your personal moti­ vation. In college, you make the choices. If you don't know what you want to do, you'll be beat up and thrown away. They want you out. It's not like high school. High school should teach you bow to study, how to apply what you learn. It doesn't. Instead it teaches you to memo­ rize endless details and how to behave under lock and key. It should help you fig­ ure out what you want out of life and how to get it. It doesn't. It teaches you to con- I spent my first semester testing my inde­ pendence to see if it was real. It was. I ended up independent, homeless, and alone. It took me a year to adjust. It wasn't my fault. It wasn't anybody's fault, but the way things are in high school just makes it really hard in college. Stu­ dents expect the same old treatment. Pro­ fessors hate standing in front of a room­ ful of bored people who refuse to partici­ pate. They get angry and grade accord­ ingly. War breaks out, or should I say revo­ lution. But the students are supposed to get what they need to go ahead with life in the real world. That's what college fac­ ulty love to do - to give you real help. It makes them happy. The very first day of registration a stu­ dents feels the pressure - at the same time we get our first taste of freedom and self. We need more preparation or a period of readjustment.

Parents and teachers mean well by instilling obedience, but they don't seem very excited about building self- motivation. Only a complete change and a chance to experience the demands of real life can overcome the cattle drive men­ tality of the school system. A year off as part of the cur­ riculum seems pretty drastic, but school comes from "schola," which means leisure and which Aristotle called the beginning of all accom­ plishment. And look at the statis­ tics. At Appalachian in 1991, 14 percent of students dropped out after one year, another 13 percent after two, and only another 4 per­ cent after three. The ones who waited until the second year to quit should have made the decision Smokin Joe ' continued from page 5 strict prohibition. No more smokes... supposedly." "It did have some good points," I said. "I got a great deal on my new house due to the new anti-smoking laws. North Caro­ lina filed for bankruptcy and 1 bought the Governor's Mansion in Raleigh for nearly nothing." I couldn't believe my eyes at what happened next. Joe actually pulled out a cigarette and lit it up right in front of me. My National Enquirer fell to the concrete, and my jaw hung open. "That's illegal!" I said. "It's a federal offense! You could go to jail if they catch you with just one!" "Yes sir," he retorted in a puff of gray-blue smoke. "It's my own little way of still protesting that smoking is an individual's choice. And I am certainly not influenced by ads, with or without pictures." "I'm impressed; it shows that you're committed to the true American way... more so than me." Joe puffed away. With each cloud of carbon monoxide his buxom blonde companion got more excited, giggling and twitch­ ing even more than Marilyn ever could have managed. He leaned in close to me and spoke again. "I know who you are, too. I understand that it may be hard for you to find your true self again." "Actually," he continued, "it's a shame your rep got damaged at all. The reason Clinton waged war on us was my fault. I knew some­ thing about Whitewater and he had to shut me up, and take away my credibility. What better way to do that than put the blame of the plague of the 20th century on me. 'Just like us, he knew smok­ ing didn't hurt anyone. Did you ever hear of him quitting his ci­ gars? It was all a bunch... all a bunch... (cough, cough)... a bunch of..." With that one emphasemic last breath, Joe was dead. His body lay on the ground outside a con­ venience mart, once his hall of fame. His beautiful blonde stood over him, dumbfounded. His pub­ licist, who had been pumping gas into Joe's limo, ran over to his side. And I, seeing the antique pack of cigarettes in the inside pocket of his leather jacket, leaned down and collected them. I.examined the pack artwork and surgeon generals warning. I pulled one of the contents out and eyed the white, tobacco filled cyl­ inder. I slipped it between my lips, feeling the firm filter. I dropped my slurpie and stood silently. "Do you smoke?" asked the blonde. That's when I made up my mind not to follow the advice of bureaucrats telling me what was best for myself. I would stand up once more for my personal lib­ erty... even if it killed me. "Of course I smoke," I said. "I'm the Marlboro Man!" With a giggle she stepped over Joe's lifeless humps and took my arm. I lit up with my almost rusted over Zippo, and we turned to­ wards my car - the Skoal Bandit Winston Cup car, which I bought for $300 when Stock Car racing died because it had no sponsor. I need to get back to the real rea­ sons I'm writing this, to help freshmen make the best out of college for themselves, not to go through what I did. I was 43 when I finally mus­ tered the courage to finish my education, to finally make some- earlier. The few who lasted until the third year probably had spe­ cial situations. These figures mean real lives damaged as well as the waste of society's resources. Then, consider the way the learning en­ vironment suffers from the stu­ dents who don't want to be there in class. School, which seeks to help us ends up wasting huge resources and driving stu­ dents at the peak of life into a deep, almost inescap­ able rut. And with the way the world is going, it won t take many more lemming steps to send us all over the cliff of human extinction. Fact. We need people with their own new per­ spectives, motivation and ideas. School should be the answer. Still, much depends on your point of view. If you know what you want to do and you're looking for help, college is a gold mine! But I look around at both stu­ dents and professors. The war qui­ etly rages. Sad, but it really does. Why? First, because12 years of cap­ tivity and fol­ lowing the lemmings leads to blindness and resentment; second because professors are really there to help, not to be w a r d e n s . Crossed pur­ poses.

You are no longer in a ftrt of your parents' house - seize le opportunity to explore your fecorative self! For a one-time investment of lider $100, you can convert your land flat into an expressive, eyeItching environment that will imress your friends and make life bet-1 r for you. Here are some easy, afrdable ideas that can make all the ifference. Everything listed is available stores such as Lowe's Hardware, K-Mart, Rose's, but be sure to shop around for e best deal. Also, remember that the niest abrasions in the walls will look like eteor craters to your landlord, so either ok up some adhesive hangers or consider tending some of your deposit - the crelive freedom you will have may just be I orth it. It is a good idea to have a budget lid plan on spending a certain amount jepending upon your desired level of scoration. While these ideas are relavely cheap, you may want to go in with Hpur roommates on certain items. Keep mind that not only will you enjoy your corations all year, but you will also have em forever and can use them later on your next setup. Since space is always a concern, makthe most of what precious little you've t is extremely important. Shelves are the perfect way to do this. A bookcase, entertainment center or small storage unit from Lowe's Hardware will do the trick. Your stuff will be moved upward rather than outward and will be kept organized within sight rather than jammed in your closet (which is too small anyway). I rec­ ommend investing in custom-cut white wire shelves. They are good for things like speakers or towels, are cheap and can be mounted anywhere. Another way to create space is with You are no longer in a part of your parent's house seize the opportunity to explore your decorative self. mirrors. They add dimension, come in many sizes and are usually priced for un­ der $10. Try placing them on doors, in the bathroom, in corners or in rows for a window-like effect. You'll be instantly amazed at how they brighten and enlarge an area. You can't go wrong with mirrors - the more, the better. If you want more light, but aren't big on mirrors, invest in a lamp or two. For around $20, you can have some variety of adjustable lamps from K-mart that will brighten up a corner or desk. Lighting directs the eye to otherwise unnoticed areas, thus creating the feel of a larger environment. For the more adventurous, Lowe's Hardware has a good selection of mountable track and fluorescent lights that plug directly into wall sockets (you'll need extension cords for these). In De­ cember, be sure to check out K-Mart for $1 strands of Christmas lights in all colors (or shop at Christmas theme stores year- round). They are great for ceilings, edges of walls, and poster borders. Since posters are a must for college students (it's in our DNA), don't miss the poster sales on campus. The selec­ tion is enormous, and even the smallest print will say some­ thing about your personality. You can also have color pho­ tocopies made of artworks from books in the library. Even though frames are some­ times pricy, they can really glamorize posters. A good way to get nicer frames is at stores like Rose's, K-Mart or other smaller shops that sell nondescript landscape-type pictures. For around $10-15, you can buy a wooden frame with glass, lose the lame pic­ ture inside and replace it with a poster, color copy or even an advertisement from some styl­ ish magazine. To dress up a simple frame, you can get precut mats at many department stores, or even do one your­ self with painted cardboard. Try neon spray paint from the grocery or hardware store. If Fixtures of your own choice are another way to in­ ject some of your personality into your pad. You can easily replace those ordinary electric socket covers, light switch cov­ ers and other things like closet door handles with funky colored or an­ matching curtains, rugs and some throw pillows will really appeal to your human tique-like ones from Lowe's Hardware. Chances are that you have blinds over need for order. You can also freak out your windows.

As with evschool year, a number of pitfalls and zards await the returning student body, pfyfhe such hazard that should not be overpked this year is the need for renter's jsurance, otherwise known as Tenant ] )meowner's Insurance. In 1994, fires accounted for $42,700 damages in the Boone area, approxiately $3000 of which were in residence I ills on campus. These numbers do not | fleet the problems students run into as i result of water damage or theft. These j e all problems students tend to ignore, it ignoring these possibilities can be di1 strous. Tenant Homowner's Insurance is the fety net many students need to replace iluables or , in certain cases, find a new j ace to live. According to Margaret McCoy, an inrance agent for Cameron M. Harris & ). of Boone, "This type of policy is ofn the only saving grace to an entirely iserable situation." Such policies are relatively cheap, sting anywhere between $119 yearly in s city limit to $179 yearly outside the y limit. While such policies are affordle, students may find them difficult to 'tain . Some insurance companies avoid inring college students due to their age d the prevalence of theft among roomstes. McCoy says that with perseverance, idents can find a company to >ure them, but they must follow a few nple rules. First, apply for a policy individually, mpanies will not insure two or more ople together unless they are related, is means that if your apartment was stroyed in a fire and you were insured rsonally, you would be covered and your ommates would be at a loss. Second, make sure you list all of your I assets, and take pictures of your belong­ ings and share them with your agent. This is very significant since it will be the only way an agency can decide how much to award you in damages. Also, should you have objects of sig­ nificance like baseball cards or heirlooms, ing to McCoy, "I've seen cases where pipes burst in one apartment and caused the surrounding apartments to be evacuated." There is still the question of whether or not students need this type of protec­ tion. This is not always the case, says Dr. David Wood, director of the Brandy Risk and Insur­ ance Center at Appala­ chian State University. Students living in dorms and apartments are typi­ cally covered on their parents'policy." In such cases, knownas "relative resident" cases, the stu­ dent, regardless of age, can 1.

McCoy says such policies often property is in any residence occupied by the cover up to 10 percent of the parents policy. employed. As far as students living in dorms, the university does not have a policy cov­ ering personal property damage and according to Wood, "They do not need one." Since most students 1. $200 on money; bank notes are covered already, it 2. $1000 on securities, accounts and deeds, letters of credit would not be "cost effec­ tive" to have such a policy, says Wood. 3. $1000 on watercraft, including their trailers, furnishings The student who usually and equipment needs a Tenant Homeowner's Insurance $1000 on trailers not used with watercraft policy is the older student who has lived apart from 5. $1000 on grave markers parents for awhile and is not considered a depen­ 6. $1000 for loss by theft dent.

Movie review This game is over Steven Mackay Reporter The folks in Hollywood have gotten themselves into another bad habit. These new screw-ups are movies based on video games. "Super Mario Broth ers," "Double Dragon" and "Street Fighter' all bombed big time. The newest entry into this would-be genre is "Mortal Kombat," a martial-arts flick based on the controversial game that is chock full of graphic violence. Since this movie is rated PG - 13 (to get kids into the the­ ater), the flying blood, guts and limbs, have all been nixed for flying...SWEAT!! And to think, I wanted to see some guy get his lungs ripped out through his trou sers. The plotline is bizarre. A mysteri­ ous god-like emperor from another di­ mension orders a giant martial-arts com­ petition between his followers and a group of mortals on Earth. If the Earth lings loose, the emperor takes over the world. If the Earthlings win, he has to try again in 20 years. Lost? I'm not done yet. The emperor's main stooge is a powerful sorcerer (played by Cary - Hiroyuki Tagawa) who owns real - estate on Earth. So, the big Mortal Kombat competition is held.on his own really cool Pacific island. The main human "Kombatants" are made up of an egotistical martial-arts ac­ tor (Linda Ashby), a stubborn "G.I. Jane" (Bridgette Wilson), and the blood thirsty brother (Robin Shou). Our three heroes are advised by an­ other sorcerer (Christopher Lambert) from Earth who knows all about this tak­ ing over the world stuff. This guy is re­ ally important because every time he so much as completes a sentence, a burst of thunder and lightening erupts. Director Paul Anderson brings a much needed tongue - in - cheek take to the movie. Apparently even he knows the whole thing is ridiculous. The only other fun thing in this movie is the opening credits.

The Apps finished the 1994 season with a |:ord of 9-4 and ranked 9th in the nation after a p to the NCAA I-AA playoff quarterfinals, mked 3rd in the nation this year, the Apps have |me pretty big shoes to fill, but with only a miniil loss of players from last year and the leaderip of a great coaching staff, the Mountaineers luld go a very long way. In 1995 the Mountaineers return eight offene starters and nine defensive starters, includthree Ail-Americans. The offensive unit will lead by returning quarterback Scott Satterfield, o passed for 1,609 yards and eight touchdowns d ran for another 583 yards and 10 TD's. The I ckfield will be lead by tailback Damon Scott and lback Aldwin Lance. Scott compiled 608 yards p the ground and 204 m the air, including six res. Lance averaged 6.4 yards a carry last sean, totaling 354 yards and five scores.

I Even though last season's Mountaineer defense | one of the best in the country, this year they is uld be even better. Headlining the defensive are three returning Ail-Americans, lineman ip Miller, linebacker Dexter Coakley, and defene back Matt Stevens. Miller tied a school record season with 12 sacks, and also had 70 tackles I The nationally-ranked Mountaineers, led by Scott Satterfield, look to be a powerhouse in the Southern Conference. For full Mountaineer schedule and profile of this year's opponents, see The Opposite Colored Jersey, page 18. IFile photo.) and three fumble recoveries. Coakley was named Southern Conference Defensive Player-of-the-Year last season as a sophomore, compiling 155 tackles, eight sacks, and seven caused fumbles. Stevens set a school record in 1994 with 10 interceptions, and also added 75 tackles and 14 deflections. Also returning to the defensive unit are lineback­ ers Joe DiBemardo, who led the 1994 Mountaineers with 161 stops (second in the conference) and Brian Jean-Mary, defensive backs Jamie Coleman and Tony Perry, who added five and two interceptions, respec­ tively. Joining Miller on the line are Shawn Elliot, Mark Ivey, Jason Hatcher, and Jackie Avery. Appalachian's defense will keep many an offensive coordinator up late on Fridays this year. Another aspect that should help the Mountaineers this year is their kicking game. Both Allen Guinn, punter, and Jay Sutton, place-kicker, are back from last season. Guinn averaged 39 yards on 65 punts last season with a long of 58 and placed the ball in­ side the 20 yard line 20 times. Guinn finished ranked 11th in the nation. Sutton led the team in scoring last season with 78 points. Sutton was 42-43 on PAT's and 12-17 on field goals, with his longest from 41 yards. "Everything has been positive this preseason and all indications are that we have a good football team, but we have to keep our players healthy. We have a lot of starters returning, but you have to have good chemistry also, and so far I think we have the poten­ tial to do very well," commented Head Football Coach Jerry Moore. "We are looking forward to the Wake game this year. It is always a good rivalry and they should be better this year than they were last year. It is always nice to play an ACC team and we hope it will be a good football game." The Apps will first take the field on August 31 at Wake Forest. This is a rare Thursday night game. The Mountaineers will also play two televised games, October 14 versus Georgia Southern in Boone, and a week later at Marshall. Both of those games will air on SportSouth and game times are 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. respectively.

(File p h o t o . ) Lady Apps: Stickin' it to 'em in 1995 Hensley -rts Editor The Appalachian State field hockey im will start their 1995 campaign on g- 29 as they host a scrimmage against tawba. The Lady Mountaineers open : regular season with a Sept. 3 contest Duke. The club will then embark on the t of their 15 game regular season and a ee-game Deep South Tournament. Coach Cathy Burleson returns for her ninth season as the head of the field hockey program at Appalachian. Burleson and her squad will compete in the Deep South Field Hockey Association. This or­ ganization includes teams from Catawba, Davidson, and St. Louis. Last season, the Lady Apps struggled to a 2-17 overall record last season, in­ cluding a 0-8 record on the road. How­ ever, one of the two victories came against Virginia Tech in the Deep South Tourna­ ment. Barry Clyatt led the way for the Lady Apps, starting all 19 contests and leading the team in shots, goals, and assists. Clyatt had five of the team's 16 goals in 1994. Elana Moore and Heather Templeton both had three goals apiece. Ingrid Stansberg was in goal most of the time for the Lady Mountaineers. In her 16 games, she had 247 saves compared to only 49 goals allowed. Stansberg also kept the team's lone shutout. With the beginning of a new school year also comes the beginning of many sports seasons. This year the Lady spikers are looking forward to improving on an incredible 1994 outing where they finished undefeated in the Southern Conference and advanced to the NCAA tourney. Last year the L.idy spikers finished with a record of 30-6 overall and 14-0 in con­ ference piay. Tney Drougni nome tne Southern Conference Championship and advanced to the opening round of the NCAA's where they lost to Georgia.. The team has several returning play­ ers from last year's impressive group. Se­ nior starters returning this year are Amy Kolomechuk, Sheri Leverette, Miriam Sealeyand Kathy Granack. The one re­ turning junior starter is April Sorrells. These players will not only bring talent, but experience to the team as well. Other key returnees are sophomores Erica Bahry and Jennifer Rumfeldt. The team may rely on their returning starters, but they will have help from four key newcomers. This year's new editions are Paula Levey, Kari Ann Overholt, Shea Thompson, and Stephanie Young. The team will be led this year by coach Dave Markland. This season will be Coach Markland's fourth season with Appala­ chian State. In his previous three seasons he has compiled a record of 82-29. Markland will be assisted by Heidi McElhaney, who is returning to the team this year not as a player, but as an assis­ tant coach. Her invaluable experience should help bring more success to the team. The Lady Mountaineers will begin their season with a two day tournament on Sept. 1 and 2 in Columbia, SC. The South Carolina Tournament will include teams from Xavier, Nichols State, Alabama- Bir­ mingham, and South Carolina. The Lady Apps will be home on Sept. 5 for the an­ nual Black and Gold match before com­ peting in the Virginia Tech tournament. North Carolina-Greensboro will be the first opponent to take on the Lady Moun­ taineers when they step into Varsity Gym on Sept. 13. This should be the start of another impressive season for Appala­ chian. The Lady Mountaineers hope to improve on last season's record. (File photo.) �The Appalachian. Th„rsdav 2 Harriers to defend crown Stephen Hensley Sports Editor Last season was a mixed bag for the Appalachian State men's soccer team. The squad suffered tough losses at the hands of ACC powerhouses North Carolina and Wake Forest and staggered to a 19-2 road record, but bounced back to post a winning record in the Southern Conference with a mark of 3-2-1 in conference play. The Mountaineer attack last season was spearheaded by Jay Lane, who led the Apps in almost every offensive category. Lane took 50 shots in 1994, connect­ ing for 17 goals, including game winners against Davidson, Vir­ ginia Military, and The Citadel. Jason Hockstra took care of most of the goal keeping duties, logging 1,920 minutes between the pipes for the Mountaineers. In that time he accumulated 107 saves, kept two shut outs, and allowe^onl^3goals MattMcKenzie Reporter The Appalachian State men's and women's cross country teams open their 1995 seasons with a home invitational at Kidd-Brewer Stadium on September 2. Both teams will be striving to capture the Southern Conference Cham­ pionship in the fall. The men's team will try to top last season, in which the squad won the Southern Conference Championship and qualified for the NCAA Division I National Championship. The team fin­ ished ranked 20th overall in the NCAA final standings. The harriers, coached by John Weaver, lost three out of their top six runners, but retain Southern Conference runner of the year Tom Holland and freshman of the year Seth Peoples. "Whenever you lose three out of your top six, you certainly won't be able to finish as good but we do have two prom­ ising freshman in Will Dickerson, who was the South Carolina run­ ner of the year and also Ian Finn," said Weaver. After the home invitational, the team travels to Raleigh and then Auburn, Alabama before the Na­ tional Invitational at Penn State. Next month the team will try to repeat their first place Southern Conference finish at Greenville, SC. The women's team, also coached by Weaver, have a young team with only one senior, Suzanne Black and seven fresh­ men. The team finished fourth in the conference last season. "The team is rebuilding, but they are already looking better than they did last year," said Weaver. The women's team schedule is well-traveled, with the team go­ ing to Maryland and Raleigh be­ fore invitationals at Virginia Tech and Furman. The next stop is the Southern Conference Champion­ ship and then the NCAA District III Championship, both held in Greenville, NC.

Some of us laughed when the news struck that professional bas­ ketball could be facing a lockout at season's start in November. But reality began to set in. We remem­ bered last year's baseball strike. There were the problems of the National Hockey League. That was when realization dawned: why should the National Basketball Association be any dif­ ferent than any other sports league? For the true, hardcore NBA fan, the possibility of a dispute between players and owners seemed sur­ real. This is a league which is stuffed with some of the world's best athletes. It's a league which knows how to market - they've got commercials with breathtaking highlights, indoor fireworks and laser shows, and cherubic mascots for the kids in all of us. Not to men­ The Appalachian, Thursd, ay 24 tion that you couldn't walk down most streets in this country with­ out seeing NBA merchandise on somebody's person. This is the league which, over the last 15 years or so, has been slowly edging baseball aside as America's first love. Doubt it? Check baseball's attendance since the major leaguers have returned. But the reason is obvious as to the drain of support in baseball. Even those with limited knowl­ edge of the sports world know that everyone involved screwed up. It's old news. When you depend on a lot of other people for your liveli­ hood (and in what job is this NOT true, really?), it's smarter some­ times to put yourself on the shelf and return a little of that support. Hopefully, as the NBA's partici­ pants and shareholders gather to talk things over this week, August 12, 1994 won't be far from their thoughts. It's hard to imagine Shaq and Patrick Ewing facing off before a stadium filled to a quarter capac­ ity. But a delay of play when the regular season begins could help that scenario. A fan who knows he's taken for granted is a fan who might just stay home. FREQUENT FLYER The free agent in sports is a strange breed, so to speak. If he's talented, he can pick and choose the team to which he will pledge his allegiance. Money, location, and money again are usually the factors deciding just where he'll play. Deion Sanders, football and baseball player extraordinare, is probably the most famous of the species. No other man can capture so much attention simply by an­ nouncing that he's available. The Dallas Cowboys seem to be the closest to signing Prime Time, and for months the general agreement has been that Sanders will put a genuine contender over the top. We heard the same thing last Appalachian State University 1995 Volleyball Schedule The Appalachian wishes all ASU teams luck for the 1995-1996 season. worst? Free agency destroys teams; we see this in baseball con­ tinually. The Pittsburgh Pirates of the early 1990s were The Squad for a few seasons. Eventually the marquee players (Barry Bonds, Doug Drabek, Bobby Bonilla) were offered tickets out of town, headed to greener pastures. Those role players who remained were picked from Pittsburgh as more time passed. This trend repeats itself as surely as the mail comes (some­ times faster). In the '90s alone, baseball's Toronto BlueJays, football's Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys, and basketball's Cleveland Cavaliers have fallen victim to the cycle. Only the At­ lanta Braves seem immune so far, and a season or two more of regu­ lar season dominance/playoff fu­ tility will mean the end for them, too. The NFLs Cowboys haven't really tumbled yet - some smart moves in the office have k in the upper echelon g, treading water.

Whether Sanders can impact a team to such an effect is still ques­ tionable. But it's also irrelevant. The people in control think he can work the same magic he did in San Francisco last year, and that's all that matters. Of everyone in sports, perhaps only Michael Jordan could more quickly spark a league-wide scramble over the rights to his body. Sanders thrives off of adversity, as do so many of the people who are among the best at what they do. He likes to be doubted; he loves it when he's in a situation where he is pressured and chal­ lenged. Skipping from town to town, leaving a trail of champion­ ship banners and confetti on the city avenue, is probably a fantasy of his. Could it be, though, that such freedom to follow the green has changed things, maybe for the An,§11 TWO • WORLDS • DIVERS 4^ e E Did you get shut out of the Scuba class this semester?

The Apps take on three teams in the Southern Conference hat have been nationally ranked in the NCAA Div. I-AA polls. The team also plays out of the confer­ ence against Wake Forest and Div. II Edinboro who posted a 7-3 record last season. The first game for the Moun­ taineers is in Winston-Salem against the Demon Deacons of Wake Forest. This annual rivalry, which is anticipated as much as a social event as a sporting event to the casual fan will have a deeper meaning to Coach Jeriy Moore and his troops. The meeting provides an opportunity for the Apps to avenge the heart-breaking 12-10 defeat at the hands of the Deacons last season. The home opener for the Mountaineers will come Sept. 9 against Edinboro. The Fighting Scots will get to taste a bit of Boone's night life as the game is set to kick-off at 7 p.m. Edinboro is returning 16 starters from last season's squad that outscored their opponents 367-207 in 1994. t Revenge will be on the mind of North Carolina A&T when they face off with the Mountaineers on Sept. 16. The Aggies took a 45-0 schellacking at Kidd Brewer Sta­ dium last season and hope to gain back some pride this season in Greensboro. The East Tennessee State Buc­ caneers come to town Oct.1 as the Southern Conference opener for the Apps. ETSU brings with them an explosive offense that averaged over 400 yards per game last sea­ son. However, in the last encoun­ ter between the two clubs, the Bucs were held to 28 yards rush­ ing. The Mountaineers meet Furman on Oct. 7. The Paladins are coming off of a tough season and are in the process of rebuilding. The Apps defeated Furman 30-6 last season, but with the game in Greenville this year, anything is possible. Georgia Southern is next on the slate for the Mountaineers. In 1994, the Apps rallied from behind but fell just short, losing 34-31 in" Statesboro, GA. This game will be a big one for both squads and will televised regionally on SportSouth. The Mountaineers will follow that important game with the most important game of the season. Marshall and Appalachian should be battling for position at the top of the I-AA polls when the two meet on Oct. 21. The Thundering Herd will remember the goal posts coming down after their loss here last season. Look for this one to decide the Southern Conference champion. The University of TennesseeChattanooga Moccasins will be this year's opponent for Homecom­ ing. The Mocs were 3-8 last sea­ son, including a 28-54 loss to Steve McNair and Alcorn State. On Nov. 4, the Mountaineers will travel to Lexington, VA to take on the Keydets of Virginia Mili­ tary. The 26-23 overtime defeat at the hands of VMI at the end of the regular season took both the Southern Conference crown and home field playoff advantage away from the Apps. Appalachian's regular season home finale will come against Western Carolina on Nov. 11. In last year's contest, the Mountain­ eers pulled out a 12-7 victory. This year looks to be another defensive battle. The last game of the regular season will be against The Citadel. The Cadets compiled a 6-5 record last season and gained 436 yards per game.

Appalachian business graduates earned the gold medal for the highest score on the North Carolina Certified Pub­ lic Accounting exam seven times, which is twice the amount of gold medals re­ ceived by students at any other school from May 1984 to May 1994. Dr. Randy K. Edwards, chair of the accounting department, says that Ap­ palachian offers three courses, that are built into the curriculum, which prepare students for the CPA exam. The profes­ sional exam preparation course, an au­ diting course and a law course are all in­ cluded in the curriculum. At many other schools, students must take those courses outside of school. There are currently students from 15 colleges and universities enrolled in Appalachian's Masters in Accounting program. "Most have heard about our CPA exam results and that's why they're here," said Edwards. Dr. Edwards also attributes stu­ dent success on the CPA exam to Dr. Raymond L. Larson, who teaches the pro­ fessional exam preparation course. "He not only teaches the stu­ dents the material, he is a very motiva­ tional person. He teaches them to build in a regular exercise and rest schedule as part of their exam preparation,' said Edwards. Entrepreneurship stressed by speaker Jay Konstantaras Reporter As part of the Harlan E. Boyles distinguished CEO lecture series, Ann Lewallen Spencer, Chairman and CEO of Goody's Pharmaceuticals, addressed stu­ dents, faculty and local business leaders on Monday at Rosen Concert Hall. In conjunction with the John A. Walker College of Business, the Harlan E. Boyles lecture series attracts top North Carolina business executives to speak at Appalachian. Spencer was introduced by former Senator James T. Broyhill, who cnnkP fondly of the keynote sneaker. spoke fnnrllv of the keynote speaker. "She has done a tremendous job with the company that she's been chair­ man of," said Broyhill. "She has served her company in many capacities." Spencer's address, entitled "Entrepreneurships: The Anatomy of.." focused on the changing role of the en­ trepreneur in today's business world. "An entrepreneur is one who or­ ganizes, manages and assumes the risks of a business or franchise," said Spencer. She went on to add that entre­ preneurs must also be honest, self-confi­ dent, enthusiastic and hard-working. Spencer focused on the effect entrepreneurships have had in North Carolina.

Encouraging incoming students to run for senate will be one of Martin's priorities. "We want to encourage people, during Freshman Orientation and Club Expo, to run so we will have a diverse group of senators," she said. Weaver said she and Martin will also rework the responsibilities of offcampus senators. "We need to find the best way to get them to be more respon­ sible to their constituents," she said. Martin said she wants to make it easier for future senators to get to know each other before they begin working to­ gether. "If the senators can work better as a team they will get more accom­ plished."

Since that incident, several threats have been made nationwide, putting a scare into many. Boone has been no exception, as a threat was made to two fed­ eral buildings on Tuesday. The downtown post office and the Wa­ tauga County Courthouse both re­ ceived threatening calls, warning employees to "take this call seri­ ously." Both messages were identical. According to Boone Post Office supervisor Joseph Catohe and Wa­ tauga County Clerk of Court Glenn Hodges, the caller was a male who said, 'Take this call seriously. A bomb is set to go off in the Court House and the Post Office between 10 (a.m.) and 1 (p.m.)." Authorities were notified and both buildings were evacuated until after 1:30 p.m. No bomb or related equipment was found. No one has been arrested in re­ lation to the crime.

A representative from the office of university advance­ ment said that if another group made a bid to buy the land, they did not know whether the money would go to the effort or not. SGA was the vehicle for ACES, and two of the major sup­ porters were SGA President and Vice President Elect Darby Weaver and Robyn Martin. "We have no specific plans for another proposal... if anyone in senate wishes to bring it up, however, that's their right," said Weaver. "It's a slow time for us, others are very active. But we are going to have to ultimately put all of our resources together to be successful," Schofield said. The two groups still active with the cause are having trouble working together. Schofield said that the problems were mainly "philosophical differences" such as who will own and control the land after it is acquired, and where the money should come from. "We are looking at ways in which we can combine our ef­ forts in order to save Howard's Knob. The future of the mountain rests in our ability to find a collec­ tive track," said Schofield.

Monte Green, the current owner of Howard's Knob, now has permits for the development of the south side of Howard's Knob, the site overlooking Boone that will be for his own home. Schofield is sure the time to come to a solution is now, but the active fund raising for the effort is com­ ing through the WHCLT. Earth Day was this past week, and WHCLT took the oppor­ tunity to put on a concert in order to raise money for the effort. As far as Schofield's plans and in­ volvement, he simply said, "Noth­ ing concrete has arisen." Regardless of which camp is raising money, no national or local source of funding has been identified. The Trust for Public Land is still showing interest in assisting the effort, but cannot solely fund the purchase. As far as the high public­ ity of the movement during ACES, and the lack of publicity now, Schofield attributes that to the timeliness of ACES. He still be­ lieves there are plenty of support­ ers, they're only taking a break. "The heart of the movement is alive, but the body could use some rest," Schofield said.

First and foremost the staff would like to thank our readers. Your input and feed­ back have been appreciated. Yes, even the criticism has been taken to heart. Though there have been differences in opinion, we always welcomed the forum. We would especially like to thank those of you who wrote in this year. The Opinion Page was set up in the fall so our readers would have a "direct line" to the newspaper. While many may not agree with what we printed on the Editorial Page, the content of the Opinion Page has been dictated by you, our readers. The staff thanks David "Freebird" Freeman for just being an advisor. While he ultimately has no control over what we do, say, write or print, he has lent an ear to many a problem, and offered sound ad­ vice on each occasion. The staff would also like to thank those who have provided us with count­ less hours of entertainment: I J.D. Adams A.RRS. Francis T. Borkowski Hunter Schofield Bob Snead Sports Information Roy Tugman WASU Finally, the four departing members of the staff thank the rest of the staff for all their hard work. You have all done your jobs, and done them well. And some­ how, amid all the stress, controversy and late nights, you remained sane. We're not sure whether to offer next year's staff congratulations or condo­ lences, but if next year's staff proves to be as dedicated and steadfast as this year's staff, we guess we'll offer congratulations. Good luck guys. Alas, no matter what I do to ignore it, [ the end of the semester is upon me, and I can stand no chance of escaping the in­ evitable step towards my senior year, and | the consequences thereof. Though I did almost everything to pre­ vent it my freshman ————— year, I am more than likely going to gradu­ ate in four years. For those of us on the fouryear plan, the junior year summer is usu­ ally the last summer where at the end, we go back to school. This has set me to thinking about this "real" life business I keep hear­ ing about. I cannot imagine next year when, after some paltry attempt at exam taking is done, I will have to buck up, and try to find a niche in society where no one will notice that secretly, I am a moron and can make no real contribution. But after I graduate, what does one do, exactly? Does one have to immedi­ ately mimic "Thirtysomething" or can one stay in the "Saved by the Bell" stage for awhile? Many manage to avoid the real world, yet keep from being a complete slacker by going to graduate school. This grow­ ing tendency would be my definite plan, except I hear they look at grades. And even if I have the grades, you generally have to know what you want to study be­ fore they let you attend. I don't know about graduate school, but I would rather not put my knowledge of the English language to use trying to guile some old lady into buying a McJordan special in­ stead of just a glass of water. I guess what I am getting at is, to quote "Cheers": "Mak­ ing the way in the world today takes ev­ erything you've got..." and more of us are not quite ready to jump straight into the fiasco. Exactly how long can one have fun, be un— committed, and watch the Animaniacs before people look at you funny? When does college life end and the "real" life begin? I know I'll have friends jumping into that whole worthwhile lifestyle thing, get­ ting married, and actually starting to plan something before they do it. But I fear that while they are anticipating having their first child, I'll be eagerly awaiting the fourth Batman movie.

You might call ASU a melting pot of sorts as well. Almost 13,000 people have convened in a small town called Boone to exchange ideas and learn from each other. College students have very impressionable minds. College is a time to take a close look at our views on things like the opposite race, sex, or religion. It is vital that we pay close attention to what we allow ourselves to believe. It is interesting and often discourag­ ing to find out the conceptions we have of each other. I have met people who view members of the opposite race in a very negative way. Their views are not shaped from experiences they have had but from what they have been taught in their homes, schools, and communities. I would like to think that the things from racism, sexism, and a loss of mor­ that can be learned outside of the class­ als.

To the Editor: We have written this letter in response to issues brought up by Chancellor Borkowski at the fac­ ulty and staff meeting on April 5. As you may know, Governor Hunt's proposed budget for the fiscal year 1995-1996 would cut ASUs budget by $1.2 million. In addition, he has proposed a tu­ ition increase of 3.1%. These proposed cuts and tu­ ition increases are based in part on the public and legislative per­ ception that higher education does not provide services that are worth the investment. The chan­ cellor indicated that the public and the state legislature want greater accountability from higher education. One of the ways that many measure success is the ability of students to obtain secure, wellpaying jobs. One might argue that an ideal function of higher education is to provide an oppor­ tunity for intellectual growth and development for all- rather than to provide job training for some. That issue is not our main con­ cern in this letter. Our main ob­ jection is that higher education cannot be held accountable for the inability of our economy to provide secure, well-paying jobs for all. If jobs are not there, cut­ ting the resource base of higher education won't produce them. In fact, cutting the resource base makes it less likely that we'll be able to effectively train students for the jobs that are available. If you agree with these ideas, please let your legislator know that you think cutting the re­ source base for higher education is not an effective solution to the problems facing our society.

Another of my goals is to attend the Lewis and Clark School of Environmental Law in Portland, Oregon. I love the woods and always will. It was largely on long soli­ tary backpacking trips as a teen that I felt most comfortable and came to understand myself. Ac­ cordingly, deforestation is not something I can take lightly, even if it involves uprooting a tree to build my own house. It is interesting that while by my gross estimation, the students who want to save Howard's Knob number perhaps 1500 to 2000, they don't have the money to buy the land they want. If they aver­ aged as much as I have given to the Nature Conservancy over the past few years, they would easily have more than enough to buy Howard's Knob, or any other proxi­ mate knob they may inadvertendy feel they can't live without. And honestly, my savings methods, though sincere, are not that much to write home about. Here's how it works: I try to take at least one evening per month where I pretty much abstain from drinking and philandering and then donate the proceeds to the Nature Conservancy. While that's not a lot, it adds up. And the opportunity cost is not so, great. I try to find some­ thing to do with myself to kill time. Sometimes I study that evening, or talk with friends. Once I remem­ ber I read a book...well...part of a book. But you get my point. Anyway, the thing is, it's not so bad. If I can do it, then surely anyone of you can, too. But please don't put me on a pedestal, unless, of course, you all insist upon my use as a figurehead; I only lift up my habits before you as a peda­ gogical tool. You take it and do with it as God directs you, and from that I can hardly complain.

I am honored to have served in this position. As I leave Appalachian in May, I will take with me the satisfaction of know­ ing that many accomplishments have been made over the past two years. I am especially proud of the establishment of a tuition-on-installment plan, the implementa­ tion of free and confidential AIDS testing, and the recent successful "Into the Streets" campaign fol­ lowed by "Spring Fling." Along with these achieve­ ments, I want to acknowledge the outstanding work of Jane Mclntyre, SGA vice president, and the entire SGA Cabinet. These in­ dividuals have been the backbone of SGA this year and I am proud to have worked with all of them. The student senate should also be recognized for its many hours of hard work. On May 4, Darby Weaver and Robyn Martin will assume the du­ ties of SGA President and Vice President. I am confident that these two women will serve well in their new roles. I would encour­ age the student body to support their many outstanding ideas and to offer input throughout the en­ tire year. Again, thank you for allowing me to serve as your representative over the past two years. I am hon­ ored to have worked with, and for, the most outstanding students in the University of North Carolina system. J.D.

And whatever happens, never lose confidence in yourself. During the Raleigh trip, one of my kids from the special education group told me that he could teach the class better then me. So, one day that next week, Ken got to teach the class for a bit. He was quite nervous, because he stutters, but he did a very good job, con­ sidering his audience. He has done so much better since then ... so perhaps one person can make a difference. I'd like to believe so.

Thursday 27 April 1995 Page 7 J\n Appalachian year in pictures This year has been a very eventful one, filled with heated debates, highlycontested elections, construction galore and many magnificent speakers and programs. While some events were merely following traditions, others were brand new events unique to 1994-1995. The photos on these two pages speak volumes about our litttle corner of the world, but a little information has been added to refresh any faded memories. It may not all have been fun, but it was never boring! Appalachian fans (left) showed their support in an incredible year of football. Packed stands and waving flags gave the football team the boost it needed to shine. Students in the technology department showed their skills as they built a real igloo and actually slept in it overnight (below left). One of the biggest issues on the Appalachian campus this year was the Appalachian Community Environmental Stewardship (ACES) fee. The Appalachian sponsored a debate January 24 in the Hawksbill Pub (below right). A sizeable turnout gave students the chance to learn about both sides of the issue, as SGA president J.D. Adams (left) and SGA senator Greg McClure (right) presented their cases. " Construction may have been the only constant thing on campus. The expansion of Newland Hall is moving right along (left), while the new part of the Student Union is almost complete. When the Student Union is opened, there will be meeting rooms, a weight and aerobics room, a 24-hour computer lab and the Cascades Cafe to look forward to. The tradition continued this year with the Chancellor for a Day activity. Senior Meredith Gruber got to perform the Chancellor s duties for a day, while Dr. Borkowski was able to act as a student for the day. Borkowski's classes included the bowling class in which there was a tournament (above). �The Appalachian, Thursday 27 ^ WELCOMfSI Every year a new group of freshmen is welcomed into the Appalachian family. A sign (above) makes new students feel at home. Construction was not limited to main campus. An upperclass student moves his belongings into the new Appalachian Heights apartments (right). Fans stormed the field (left) after ASU's victory over Marshall in the first night game played at Appalachian in 14 years. Shortly after this photo was taken, crazed fans tore down the goal post and took it on a "victory run" around campus and downtown, where some damage was done to cars parked along the road. The little journey ended up costing the university about $2,000Several students were arrested. The goal post's final resting place was the duck pond in front of Trivette Hall. Senior business major Emily Baker (right) was crowned this year's Homecoming Queen at the halftime ceremonies of the game Appalachian played against Liberty. Baker was sponsored by her sorority, Delta Zeta, and was escorted at the ceremony by her mother. Diversity was the key word this year, and Appalachian was at the forefront in getting quality programs for African American History Month. This was, by far, one of the most eventful and educational African American History Months in the history of Appalachian State University. Native African music (above) was brought to campus, and was enjoyed by the many students who were able to attend the performance. One of the more famous names to appear on our campus was Dr. Betty Shabazz (right), the widow ofMalcom X. Shabazz has her doctorate degree in education and spoke on civil rights. Spring Fling, (above) sponsored by SGA, was one of the more popular outdoor events of the season, drawing crowds of spectators and participants alike. In this photo, two students wearing heavilypadded Sumo wrestling garb compete on the mat. Other activities included a human velcro wall and the gyro-sphere. One of the things students here at Appalachian look forward to most is the fall season, when colorful leaves abound. Students revel in the beauty of the color, and let their childhood urges to play in piles of leaves come to the forefront. - -'-2 it*/#* I ;l i mitmxMi *. f* 4* A**** * J—. ;+••.'$ .& J ¥4 * * * X * • «»/*«•<•• jo*»4:*•; '<;••*«»» *»•« 2*«22:2k *. ><«!../<,//*» *•»»#*• A tt2.1.SIvaS �alachian Thursday 27 April 1995 Page 9 Appalachian Food Services |995 SPRING FINAL EXAM HOimsWELBORN CAFETERIA MAY 5 & 8 Regular Hours Closes for semester MAY 9 at 2:00 pm The Appalachian Comic/ S vP AEAL W OP NLD $< JaY KOA/STA^AR/S PARK PLAGE CAFE MAY 5-11 Regular Hours Closes for semester MAY 12 at 2:00 pm FOOD COURT MAY 5-9 Regular Hours MAY 10- 12 8:00 am - 11:30 pm MAY 13 8:00 am - 10:30 pm MAY 14 8:00 am - 5:00 pm GOLD ROOM MAY 5 & 8 Regular Hours Closes for semester MAY 8 at 7:30 pm CASCADES CAFE Open Summer 1995 THE PIZZERIA MAY 5, MAY 7-11 Regular Hours Closes for semester MAY 11 at Midnight THE MARKET MAY 5, MAY 8-11 10 am - Midnight MAY 6 & 7 5 pm - Midnight Closes for semester MAY 12 at 5 pm TEXTBOOK BUYBAGK Get CASH For Your Used Textbooks!

The fans rushed the field. The goal posts came down. The Appalachian State football team beat the number one team in Divi­ sion I-A in front of 19,468 people. The 1994 season was a special one for Coach Jerry Moore and his Mountaineers. Picked to finish in the middle of the pack, the Apps went 9-4 overall and 6-2 in the Southern Conference. The Mountaineers blistered their opposition and spent most of the season near the top of the Div. I-A polls. The scene was set for another South­ ern Conference crown and a home field play-off game. Then, the unthinkable happened. Vir­ ginia Military, who had not even came close to a victory, came in and defeated the Apps 26-23 in overtime. The game sent the Mountaineers on the road for the play­ offs and put the only blemish on an other­ wise magnificent season. In the post-season, the Apps got back on track and defeated a tough New Hamp­ shire team on their home turf in another overtime thriller. From there, the Moun­ taineers headed to Idaho to take on the Boise State Mustangs and their royal blue turf. The Apps played tough, but Boise State proved to be a bit too much that day as they escaped with a 17-14 win. The Mountaineers were strong on both Fans rush the field after the Apps defeated Marshall, (file photo) sides of the ball last season. Offensively, the Apps were blessed to have two tal­ ented quarterbacks that shared time un­ der center. Andy Arnold and Scott Satterfield combined for over 2,000 yards passing in 1994. Satterfield, who got most of the snaps later on in the season, had eight touchdown passes and was third on the team in rushing with 583 yards. The backfield trio of Chip Hooks, Damon Scott, and Aldwin Lance served as the core of the ground attack for the Mountaineers. The three combined for over 1,800 yards rushing and 18 touch­ downs. Furthermore, if one went down with an injury, the coaching staff had real flexibility in finding a suitable substitute. Don Blue and Otis Smith provided the main targets for the passing game, catch­ ing 66 passes for 974 yards between them. Defensively, the Mountaineers thrived. The Apps held their opponents to just over spikersrip through S.C. Kevin Robinson Sealey, and Amy Kolomechuk are juniors, and Cindy Kolomechuk is a freshman. The 1994 season was the second un- der coach Dave Markland. In his second campaign, Markland went 25-13. His career record is 52-23. Very much like the men's wrestling team, Appalachian's men's soccer team fin­ ished strong in a disappointing season. The soccer team faced stiff competition all season long against the likes of nation­ ally ranked North Carolina, Wake Forest, UNC-Greensboro, Clemson...and the list goes on. Despite their overall record, the Mountaineers finished up the season with a 3-2-1 Southern Conference record, and barely lost the Southern Conference Tour­ nament Championship to Furman in over­ time.

Super sophomore Dexter Coakley patrolled Kidd Brewer Stadium from his linebacker position, making 155 tackles and eight monstrous sacks. Joey DiBernardo, William Peebles, and Chip Miller took care of the defensive front, allowing only 165 yards of offense per game. Matt Stevens had a team high ten interceptions as the anchor of the defensive secondary. Heading into their first Southern Con­ ference tournament, the Appalachian State women's soccer team faced the chal­ lenge of regular season champion Davidson in Greensboro, N.C. In a pair of previous matches, the Wildcats had beaten ASU by the com­ bined count of 11 to two. The Lady Moun­ taineers ignored history and played Davidson to a scoreless tie through regu­ lation, despite 23 shots on the goal, be­ fore falling 2-0 in overtime. Appalachian State's inaugural 3-12-0 record belies the season's bright spots, such as goalkeeper Kelly Guinn's trio of shutouts. Guinn's 15 saves in consecutive wins versus Georgia Southern and Furman helped earn App's first two victories of The Appalachian State's women's vol­ leyball team had a hugely successful sea­ son this fall. They went 30-6 overall, 14-0 in the Southern Conference. They were 9-0 at home, 13-5 away, and 8-1at neutral sites. The Mountaineers won the Southern Conference tournament and beat Towson State in the NCAA play-in round. They lost to Georgia in the first round of the NCAA tournament. They won 16 games in a row from Sept. 13 to Oct. 23, including victories over East Carolina, UNC-Wilmington, N.C. State and UT-Chattanooga. David Willis y Special to the Appalachian App Senior Heidi McElhaney led the team with 517 kills and 46 service aces in 131 games. She had a .286 kill percentage. Junior Kathy Granack had an unbeliev­ able 1281 assists in 111 games, averaging 11.54 per game. The Lady Apps won 13 of their matches in straight games. Their losses came to UNC-Greensboro, Central Florida, Clemson, UNC, UNCC, and Georgia. McElhaney is the only senior on the team, so next year should be just as pro­ ductive as this one was.

"We have several players coming back with a lot of experience. We have had a good deal of success the past few seasons in the South­ ern Confer­ ence tourna­ ment. Our players are optimistic about next season, but they also know that they have a lot of work to do. Our recruiting is still going on and we should have everything wrapped up by the end of May. We ended the season third in the conference and on a positive note, so that should carry over into next year. Right now we are focus­ ing on the future and what it will take to get us there," said Head Coach Art Rex. Another key factor that could help the Apps next sea­ son is the addition of the new astroturf on the field. The new turf should help slow the game down a bit. "The past few years have been like playing on asphalt," said Coach Rex. The Mountaineers look to improve upon their record next season and hope­ fully come out with the Southern Confer­ ence crown. "Right now we are focusing on the future and what it will take to get us there." Sports Editor The 1994 season was a difficult one for Appalachian's field hockey team. The season started on Sept. 3 with a 3-1 loss at home to Davidson. The season ended on Nov. 6 with a 3-0 win over Virginia Tech in the Deep South Tournament. The 64 days between those games had to be some of the longest days in the lives of the young women who make up ASU's Field Hockey team. After the season opening loss to Davidson, the team lost the next day to James Madison in a 14-0 shellacking. The lady Apps were not able to right their ship until Oct. 26 when by a 3-0 tally Catawba became ASU's first victim.

However, amidst the losses, McClendon was putting together a stellar senior season. Averaging 18.4 points a game and over 10 rebounds per contest, McClendon was on his way to a spot on the All-Southern Conference team and consideration for conference player-of-the-year. The play of the senior seemed to spark the rest of the team. Braswell took over the role of the floor general, leading the team in assists and minutes played. The freshmen stepped up as each mem­ ber of the recruiting class got his turn in the starting line-up. The conference schedule was a heartbreaker for the Mountain­ eers. Seven of the 14 games were decided by six points or less. The close losses added up for the Apps , as the team ended the regular season with a 7-19 overall mark. In the Southern Conference tournament, however, things turned around. After a victory over Furman in the play-in game, the Mountaineers shocked Marshall in the quarter finals. Outstanding play by the entire team had the Apps poised for a run at the title. Stephen Hensley Assistant Sports Editor Complete domination. Since 1985, the women's track program at Appalachian State has won 23 of 27 possible Southern Confer­ ence championships. Within that span, the team has captured five "Triple Crowns," winning cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track, in the same season. In 1995, however, things began to slip a bit. In cross country, The Lady Mountaineers finished a dissappointing fourth. Dawn Wehrenburg led the team with a fourth place finish in the confer­ ence. Jannica Hjertzman also per­ formed well and just missed allconference honors. The indoor season was to fol­ low and again the Lady Apps fell short of expectations. A mishap by Beth Burleson in the hurdles, along with other mental miscues dropped the team to third place overall. Things turned around for the team, however, as the competition moved outdoors. With the bitter Chad McClendon puts up stellar numbers in final campaign. (file photoj The Cinderella run ended at the hands of Western Carolina in the semis. The game ended the season, but not the hopes of the Mountaineers, who proved that the bottom of the standings was not where they intended to stay. losses in the other events behind them, the Ladt Mountaineers moved ahead with new intensity. The outdoor track title the only acceptable goal for the team. As Coach John Weaver put it, 'The ladies would just not be denied." After successful meets against top teams like nationally ranked North Carolina, the Lady Apps re­ turned home to compete against Duke, NC State, and Virginia Tech in a home meet at Kidd Brewer Stadium. The Lady Mountaineers blew away the competition and looked to be in good shape for the Southern Conference meet that loomed ahead. Once in Huntington, WV for the conference championships, the la­ dies called their own team meet­ ings to stress to each athlete the importance of the meet. When the team hit the track, it was strictly business. After being down slightly after the first day, the Lady Apps came roaring back to pass East Tennessee State and win the soutnern conrerence nue. ine win, which was the ninth straight outdoor title in a row, proved not only that the Appalachian State women's track program could still compete, but it could still excell. The Appalachian Sports staff would like to thank Appalachian's coaches, Mark Dreibelbis and Roachel Laney for all their help this year.

A f t e r being to an impressive 8-1 record during the first month of 1995, the Mountaineers found that even the slightest slip can open the door for opportunist. One week after E the Gamecock loss, eventual con­ ference tournament champ Furman beat App for the second time this year - the start of the three-game conference skid which would allow the Lady Paladins, ETSU and Georgia Southern to pass ASU in the standings. In her second year, center Andreia Hinton found a comfort zone on the basketball court after enduring knee surgery off-season. The Rocky Mount native led the Appalachian State women's bas­ ketball team in scoring and re­ bounding, including a career-high 28 points at East Tennessee State as the regular season trickled away. The tandem of Hinton and rising soph Tiana Tate is as impos­ ing as any frontcourt in the con­ ference. Also poised to return for next season is a lineup strong enough to run opposing Southern Confer­ ence teams into the hardwood. Even as the 1995-96 edition adjusts to the loss of guard Beth Kilby's long-range shooting, Coach Robinson (four wins away from 300 career victories) can look for­ ward to solid leadership. Steady contributor Maaret Artosalo joins Melissa Davis and Merideth Thompson as mainstays on Robinson's 1996 Mountaineers. Point guard Shannon Spencer, ver­ satile forward Karolina Karlqvist, and reserves Leigh Jones and LaTonya Brown acheive senior sta­ tus, forming the nucleus to a squad that has the potential to take ASU's first conference championship since 1991. The Appalachian State baseball team had a disappointing season, going 17-28. Bad luck was the story of the year, as the Mountaineers lost 8 one-run games and 3 tworun games. The team scored 6.5 runs per game, but their opponents aver­ aged 7.6 per outing. The ASU de­ fense also commited more than two errors per game. The season was highlighted by wins over Georgia Southern, The Citadel, East Tennessee State, Western Carolina, a season sweep of Furman, and a 26-3 hammer­ ing of NC A&T. But the Mountaineers were only able to win more than two games in a row once all season, and they lost consecutive games continued from page 10 nine times. Track Grapplers take conference crown David Willis Reporter The Appalachian State wres­ ting team finished strong in an otherwise disappointing season. At the beginning of the year, it looked as if ASU would have its tast team in the past several years, but then disaster struck. Everyone fln the team seemed to get hurt. Six wrestlers were lost to seasonending injuries, and the two re­ turning grapplers who wrestled in Ae NCAA tournament last season a'so missed a couple months of Motion. Everyone was left wonder­ ing exactly what had happened? 1' The Mountaineers had a tough time early in the season, but there Were some bright spots, such as senior Mike Orris, junior Duke "Howell, and sophomore Brad Hinn, who all had outstanding sea­ sons. But just as everything looked bleak, the Apps came away with a ,Very good showing at the Virginia ^uals, defeating nationally ranked '^lemson 22-19. From then on, eyerything just seemed to click. Apps finished their last seven batches 5-1-1. Everyone was back, Though not completely healthy, ' aitd the Mountaineers were poised to make a run at the Southern Conference Title. And that s ex­ actly what they did. Appalachian sent sue grapplers to the conference championship matches and came with a tie for the Southern Conference Title with VMI and three wrestlers headed to the NCAA Tournament. For the second straight year, ASU had a trio competing in the na­ tional tournament. Senior Mike Orris and Juniors Seth Myerson and Duke Howell all made the trip, but came away disappointed. Head Wrestling Coach Paul Mance said, "We were pleased with the way things ended. The team came together and were able to pull of the Conference Champi­ onship. "We are now looking forward to next year," he said. "We have five or six new kids coming in, in­ cluding a couple of state champi­ ons and a couple of transfers. This should be our best recruiting class in 8-10 years. We are still recruit­ ing, looking for more depth. Hope­ fully next year we can stay healthy." Add those newcomers to the seven returning starters and Appa­ lachian should be a force to be reckoned with. If a couple of the new guys can fill some holes in the starting line-up, Appalachian could be a nationally ranked team. Kevin Robinson Reporter strated, they did not. The track team decisively beat the confer­ ence and took home not only the indoor title, but the 'Triple Crown' title of consecutive cross country, indoor and outdoor track South­ ern Conference titles. Never be­ fore in the Southern Conference has a program been so dominant over the course of a year. During the season, Rich Grant once again qualified for NCAA na­ tionals in the hammer throw, and a number of others hope to still qualify in the late season. Those include Chris Huffsticklerfa 1994 steeplechase qualifier), Holland in the 5000m, and Miesch in the 10,000m. While the '94-'95 season has been a pioneering one, the pro­ gram can only hope to improve on its outstanding achievements. As Coach Fereshetian notes, "While we are losing a number of significant talents to graduation, we also have a number coming in, and a great bunch still here. I can only hope that our younger stu­ dent-athletes will learn from the excellent examples that our seniors have set. I can honestly say that I've never been so proud of a single group of athletes as I am of this year's 'Triple Crown' group." Be sure to watch the '95-'96 sea­ son as the squad attempts to bet­ ter itself as a nationally renown program. Jason Crews was the bright spot on the pitching staff. He ended the season with a 6-4 record and a 4.58 ERA. He pitched in 18 games and started 10, ending with three complete games. Crews gave up 39 earned runs in 76 innings, and struck out 48 batters. Phil Falco finished 2-1 with a 2.93 ERA, lowest on the team. He threw 43 innings in 20 games, al­ lowing only 14 earned runs and striking out 37. The ASU pitching staff com­ bined for a 6.69 ERA. They gave up 274 earned runs in 375 innings pitched. They walked 223 and struck out 235. Shane Owenby led the Moun­ taineers on the offensive side with a .329 batting average. He had 22 doubles, five home runs, and 34 RBIs for the season. Owenby also had a .398 on-base percentage. Scott Musgrave also had an impressive season at the plate, with a .315 batting average. He had only 20 strikeouts in 130 at bats, plus 24 runs and 17 RBIs. Senior Scott McDaniel added a .312 batting average. He had 12 doubles and three home runs. He scored 37 runs and knocked in 26 RBIs. He led the team in walks with 38 and stolen bases with 10. Brent Payton led the team in home runs (10) and RBIs (44). He had seven stolen bases and a .520 slugging percentage. The baseball team should im­ prove next year. Their only big losses are McDaniel and Matt Russell. Owenby, Musgrave, Payton, Crews, Falco, pitcher Garth Armstrong and infielder Tim Puscian are all juniors. Scott Garrett, Will Reeves, and D.J. French are sophomores. Brett and Michael Berrier and pitcher Stephen Fisher are freshmen. If not for all the one and tworun losses, the team could have had a winning record. Maybe next year.

Awash in mediocrity Stephen Hensley Assistant Sports Editor The Lady Mountaineer golf team, under Coach Bill Dicus, had a big feat ahead of them. After being beaten soundly by Furman in the inaugural Southern Confer­ ence women's golf tournament, the Lady Apps had to find away to retain their second place standing in the conference while finding a way to close the gap on the Lady Paladins. The season began with an unscored meet in Bermuda over spring break. When the Lady Apps returned, it was off to William and Mary to participate in the William and Mary Invitational. The team finished fifth out of six teams. Meridyth Stanley led the way with a tenth place finish. Meryll McElwain got a top 20 finish with her 18th place showing. On April 2-4, The Lady Moun­ taineers went to Durham to play in the Duke Spring Invitational. The team struggled and finished as the last of the 17 teams. McElwain was the low score for the Lady Apps with a 256 over three rounds.

More good news for the team is that Jason Smith, who was forced to sit the year out due to Weather hampers women's tennis Akram Barghothi Sports Editor Like most of the spring sports at Appalachian, women's tennis struggled through the spring sea­ son. Women's tennis was affected by the same weather-related situ­ ation. Due to the weather in Boone, which is worse in the late winter and early spring, and the lack of any indoor practice facili­ ties, the women team started the season cold. The team struggles in the early portion of the season, with some exceptional individual perfor­ mances from Alice Heidgerd and Amy Parille. The two had the strongest individual performances of anyone on the team. Heidgerd and Parille also teamed up to be a very successful doubles tandem. The two seemed to feed off each other, raising the level of performance from the other. The rest of the team also played well, but the team did suffer form an inability to play well as a team. Many matches were lost by the closest of margins because the team could not pick up the doubles points, or they dropped just one singles match. Fortunately for the team, they will have several returnees form this year's campaign.

Thaw Out, a party organized by Sigma Phi Epsilon and Kappa Sigma fra­ ternities, will take place on April 29 at Horn in the West amphitheater. Proceeds from the event will ben­ efit OASIS, Inc., a domestic violence and rape crisis intervention service, the Boone Police Department's Special Olympics Fund and Hickory Ridge Homestead, the organization that owns Horn in the West. "It's just a good way for fraterni­ ties to show that college kids can produce something good for the community," said Jeff Sopel, the Sigma Phi Epsilon who is helping coordinate the event. Sopel estimated that there would be a donation of $3,500 to OASIS and $500-$l,000 to the Boone Police Special Olympics Fund. Donations to Hickory Ridge Homestead will depend on the amount taken in from the event. The exact amount of the dona­ tions will be decided after the fraternities cover their expenses for the event. Sopel said that the two fraterni­ ties do maintenance work at Horn in the West in exchange for the use of the grounds.

While The Ap­ palachian staff feels a new gymnasium is needed, it's time to apply the brakes on the project. The gymnasium is not a priority. In the past, the argument was that if we have the money for the ACC, and it cannot be spent anywhere else, let's go ahead and get it while we can. But things have changed and the like­ lihood that we will get the money is slim. Before the university puts any more time or money into the ACC, we need to wait and see if we're even going to get the rest of the funding from the General Assem­ bly. With the current assembly, it is doubt­ ful that they will approve the money needed to complete the project. Even if Appalachian was assured of the money, the choice of the stadium park­ ing lot as the ACC's site requires a slower approach. Construction in the stadium lot would strip the university of its largest campus parking lot. This compounds the already collosal parking problem. Plus, we've al­ ready lost the Stansbury lot to construc­ tion on the academic support building. This brings up another point- con­ struction. There's simply too much going on at one time. Let's wait until some of these other projects are completed before embarking on a project as large as the ACC. Appalachian needs the ACC. The uni­ versity will grow over the next couple of decades and the ACC will provide a place for sports, classrooms and cultural events. However, Appalachian does not need the ACC now. Right now, it is a distraction from the many other, more pressing issues facing Appalachian. Appalachian is already facing budget cuts, a parking crisis, and delays in cur­ rent construction projects. Now is simply not the time to start yet another big project such as the ACC. The Appalachian will publish its last issue of the semester on Thursday, April 27. Publication will resume in August. The Appalachian is published every friesday and Thursday of the academic year, with the exceptions of selected holidays and breaks. The Appalachian welcomes letters to the editor. These should be typed, double-spaced, and include the authors name, address, phone number and campus affiliation, if any. Un­ signed letters will not be published. The Ap­ palachian reserves the right to decline publi­ cation of any letter or to edit letters for the purpose of space or clarity. Letters should be delivered to the second floor of the student union, or mailed to: Editor, The Appalachian, ASU Box 9025, Boone, NC 28608.

Many of the Earth-faithful held rallies, handed us all pamphlets explaining that the brick should go in the toilet tank, not the bowl itself, and attended that '90's equivalent of the protest demonstration, a rock concert. However, now that Earth Day 1995 has come and gone, most of us slip back into old habits, forgetting to shred those six-pack rings and neglecting our duty to scatter the dryer lint for nestbuilding birds. While Earth Day does serve to heighten awareness of impending envi­ ronmental disasters, very few productive plans of action are hatched as a result of its existence. Most are rarely imple­ mented because they are usually thought If you can't make the rally trip... up by a practical, analytical scientist. they're boring.

His strategy worked as he barrelled down the last straight five meters ahead of second to win in 1:52.8. Including the other scoring points from John Moss, fourth in the high jump and Eric Hart in the discus, ASU was behind VMI going into the 5000m. Despite a point deficit, assistant Todd Walter still said "It's looking good, really good." He knew that ASU held consummate strength in the 5000m and would not be beaten at their own game. Indeed, Todd was right, as the ASU dis­ tance corps paraded around the track in first through fourth fashion. Brian Miesch and Tom Holland crossed the line together 14:49, with Brian being given the win. In suit, was freshman Seth Peoples and John Crumbliss in third and fourth respectively. Fereshetian on the 5000m; "It was re­ ally fitting that the 5k guys 'drove the last nail into the coffin' so to speak. They've really been out there all year, doing the same thing over and over, beating the con­ ference opposition." App's outdoor win can only be de­ scribed as a fitting cap to a quintessential year for the runners, throwers, and jump­ ers. Winning the "Triple Crown" after it eluded them by one half point the prior year, made '95s victory that much sweeter. As Captain Alan Whicker said after con­ cluding his five year as an App track and cross country member, "I can't think of a better way for this year's team to go out."

Darryl Stevens Staff Writer Appalachian s women's track team soared to the Southern Conference title. The team bounced back from its disappointing indoor preformace to capture the conference championship, (file photo) Stephen Hensley Assistant Sports Editor The Appalachian State women's track team traveled to Huntington, West Vir­ ginia over the weekend to participate in the Southern Conference outdoor track championships. The Lady Mountaineers went into the contest as the defending champion and the winner of eight straight conference titles. Make that nine. The Lady Apps came from behind to overtake East Tennessee State and Western Caro­ lina for the 1995 Southern Conference crown. Appalachian entered the meet with something to prove after finishing fourth in cross country and third in the indoor season. "It is always great to come back after you lose," remarked Coach John Weaver. "It was definitely a very sweet win for us." On the first day of competition, things started out slowly for the Lady Mountain­ eers as they found themselves tied for fourth place behind Furman, East Tennes­ see and Western Carolina. The only bright spot for Appalachian was a third place fin­ ish by Nikki Harris in the long jump. However, as the second day of compe­ tition began, the Lady Apps took all three of the top spots in the javelin to pull close to the leaders. Rachel Olander won the event with a throw of 40.32 meters. The toss was a personal best for Olander and one of twelve personal bests set by Appa­ lachian athletes during the meet. Erica Bahry and Michelle Wright took second and third respectively in the event. Cindy Miner took second in the high jump with a leap of 1.68 meters. Beth Burleson had a personal best as she fin­ ished fifth. Senior Precious Quire came through in her final outdoor meet as she won the triple jump, reaching a distance of 12.43 meters. Harris took second place with her jump of 11.81 meters. Jenny Chase took third in the 1,500 meters while the duo of Trice Roundtree and Beth Burleson finished first and third Katrina in the 100 meter hurdles. Lee, Tonie Lazembie , and Precious Quire took second, third, and fifth respectively in the 100 meters. Burleson set a personal mark in the 400 meter hurdles wth a time of 62.36, a time good enough to take the event. Charlotte Redden took fourth and freshman Tera Pits set a personal record in her sixth place finish. Tricia Roundtree shocked the field as she won the 100 meter hurdles with a time of 14.57. Lee struck again in the 200 meter as her personal best time of 24.53 was good enough to win the event. Southern Conference Coach-of-theyear Weaver gave much of the credit to hs seniors,"They were not going to be de­ nied." Five seniors set personal mark at the event as they ended their careers at Appalachian with an undefeated record against all Southern Conference competi­ tion.

Anyone who questions the old addage that a tour­ nament is a second season ought to ask men's tennis coach Mike Kernodle, or any member of the squad. The team went to Asheville for the tournament just two games above .500 with an 11-9 regular season mark. Another addage is going into post-season play can allow you to through the record out the window. That's just what the Men's team did, en route to their second place finish in the Southern Conference. The last addage of the day is no one Lopes remembers who finishes second. This one might not be true, like the 11-9 record throw threw its win out the window. Kernodle for one will remember, heck he will savor, this second place finish for a long time. "Sec­ ond overall is the highest finish since I've been here, its been a long time since the team has done this well" said Kernodle. The Mountaineers arrived at second place by outstanding play in the first round. The Mountaineers won every singles match in the first round and two of three doubles matches. The first round wins included some of the most impres­ sive of the year. ItayShimony defeated Georgia Southern's Berry Johonsson, at the three seed, 3-6, 6-3, 6-3.

The resolution was have a required annual fee of $48 for nlty to use the Quinn Center. All de-1 ndents of the faculty member would j charged an additinal $48. Adams | d this cost is very reasonable considng the cost of other health clubs is ise to $25-30 a month. He said the | ident fee wouldn't change and the tin purpose would be to help level off| ident fees. Many of the faculty seante1 :mbers were against the idea. "It's shing us into a confrontation with idents," said Howard Dorgan, faculty| nate member. Dorgan said he does ink student fees are too high, but that| is isn't the way to solve the problem, le faculty senate voted and struck | wn SGA's resolution. Allison Pennell Reporter Jane Helm, vice chancellor of business affairs, and several memers of the Appalachian Convocation Center com­ mittee shared the most recent drawings of the ACC and answered questions at the faculty senate meeting on April 10. The academic areas will be incor­ porated with the athletic areas of the building, said Helm. The height of the center will be slightly shorter than Bowie Residence Hall. Hakan-Corley Association, the architect, is planning to dig into the as­ phalt before beginning construction of the building. Helm said the purpose of dig­ ging underground is to limit the height of the ACC. The beginning date of construc­ tion will depend upon the approval of the General Assembly and when Appalachian gets the funding, said Clyde Robbins, as­ sociate vice chancellor of the physical plant. "If we had the funding now, it (the ACC) could be completed in three years," said Robbins. The main concerns the faculty senate had about the ACC was its size and the proximity to the surrounding dorms. Robbins said the issue of Stadium Parking Lot being the site for the ACC is 90 percent definite. "We've done studies and it is the only logical site," said Robbins. He also said the closest that one part of the building could possibly be to the dorms is 40 feet because of fire regu­ lations. "The closest we would come would be around 60 feet," said Robbins. "It will be a positive and a nega­ tive," Helm said. "It is convenient, but it is right in your living room." Helm said there will be a nega­ tive no matter where the center is built. It needs to be close enough for students who will be using the academic area to be able to get to other classes, Helm said. Dr. Howard Dorgan, professor of communications and member of faculty senate, said that he doesn't see how the ACC will benefit the rest of the university. He feels that it will take attention and importance away from the other aca­ demic buildings on campus.

Clinton Parker, ACC com­ mittee member, said that Appala­ chian seriously needs new class­ rooms for students interested in health, leisure and exercise science and an athletic area. "It's an at­ tempt to combine the both," Parker said. The current classrooms and offices in Varsity Gym are stuffed in cubby holes and the gym will not accommodate a large number of people, said an ACC committee member. The new arena will seat 10,000 if neded and that number of seats could be used for gradua­ tion, conventions, trade shows, cultural events and numerous other events, said Tony Gray, di­ rector of offices of conferences and institutes. Now, all events are lim­ ited to Farthing Auditorium. Gray said the ACC will af­ fect Appalachian and the economy in five regions around Boone. Ac­ cording to Gray, people who come to Boone for conventions and other activities now end up stay­ ing in hotels in Lenoir; Hickory and West Jefferson. Gray hopes that with the increase of people coming to Boone because of the ACC, there will be a need for more hotel rooms. The parking issue was also discussed. "ASLPs current parking problem will be dramatically com­ pounded by the ACC," said Helm. Robbins said the firm that assessed the parking problem, Hayes, Seay, Mattern and Mattem, will be coming to Appalachian to­ day to meet with the committee. Robbins said there are only a few potential areas for the construction of a parking deck. The committee will be meeting with them to narrow down these possible sites and to study their feasibility and costs. Robbins said there is po­ tential for a small deck near the future site for the ACC that would hold 160 cars. Space will be set aside for this possible deck and it is included in the schematic draw­ ings. Advertise in The Appalachian Classifieds! Call 262-2157 GOOD NEWS !!!

The budget cuts proposed by the NC House Appropriations Subcommittee on Education, if passed, will hit all the uni­ versity system campuses hard, including Appalachian. Cuts would lead to reductions in fac­ ulty members and class offerings, in­ creases in class size and college costs and declines in enrollment. Furthermore, the house subcommittee has also recom­ mended even harsher cuts for 1996-97. Students must take a strong stand on this issue and join faculty and adminis­ trators in protesting these cuts. Appala­ chian students will also have to work with students and faculty from the 15 other UNC universities to defeat the proposed cuts. The group that is going to Raleigh on May 4 (reading day), is working with stu­ dents from other UNC-system universities to present a unified stance against the cuts. To join the group going to Raleigh, contact Jonas Monast at 265-4801, or Nick Biddle at 262-6006. If you can't go to Raleigh on reading day, call your representatives in the NC house and senate. Send letters. However you do it, do let your representatives know you object to these cuts. They need to know that neither fac­ ulty, administrators nor students are go­ ing to sit by and watch the state attack one of its most prominent, and promis­ ing, assets. This is not an issue that students can ignore. It is especially not an issue from which students will be isolated. If the cuts are passed, every student will feel the ef­ fects: in their pocketbooks, in their classes and in their futures. The Appalachian will publish its last issue of the semester on Thursday, April 27. Publication will resume in August. The Appalachian is published every Ttiesday and Thursday of the academic year, with the exceptions of selected holidays and breaks. The Appalachian welcomes letters to the editor. These should be typed, double-spaced, and include the authors name, address, phone number and campus affiliation, if any. Un­ signed letters will not be published. The Ap­ palachian reserves the right to decline publi­ cation of any letter or to edit letters for the purpose of space or clarity. Letters should be delivered to the second floor of the student union, or mailed to: Editor, The Appalachian, ASU Box 9025, Boone, NC 28608.

News Editor Angie Brady Features Editor John Lane AssL Features Editor Banned on campus? Skateboarders face discriminatransportation Bryson Betts Columnist To ride a mountain bike 35 mph through campus is perfecdy legal and accepted. It is the same way with "blading" between pedestrians and traffic on roller blades at about 25 mph. Even catering vans, tractors, and maintenance trucks with huge snow blades are permitted to roam about Appalachian with impunity. Seemingly any transportational method is allowed on campus in any amount, shape, or form. Where does campus security draw the line to protect us from undo stress, possible injury, and congested sidewalks? Skateboards. The least annoying mode of transportation has been singled out with imposing signs stating: "Skateboarding Prohibited, Skateboards Will Be Confiscated." What have skateboarders done to campus society to warrant such attention? Why such specific restraints on a means of getting around when all of us should embrace ANY alternate transportation methods? Maybe it is because of the associated subculture that goes along with skateboarding that has struck campus security's ire. Could it be that they do not want THOSE kind of people 'round here? Now, when mountain bikers, roller bladers, and maintenance blaze through, around, and over pedestrians, security smiles and waves because they are respectable folk. However, when someone decides to ride a skateboard to class and a security person sees them, S.WA.T teams descend from above and swarm the hapless indi­ vidual, taking away the skateboard and giving him\her a ticket. I have nearly been struck by bicycles trying to break the ground speed record, hit by 14 year old kids trying to jump over the cafeteria by starting up near the student union and crossing the mall at a 100 mph, and almost ran over by a catering truck that was backing out thinking that the incessant back-up beeper would warn me out of the way in time. Nowhere on campus do I see signs saying that the catering trucks will be confis­ cated, or that the speed limit for bikes is 20 mph, or that skidding down stair-railing via roller blades is prohibited. They are acceptable.

My family • and I had waited four years (and some people even longer) for this big day and it was ru­ ined because of a rude audi­ ence. I know the rain made it uncomfort­ able to stay seated in the bleachers and umbrellas made it difficult to see. Somehow my parents stayed seated and watched patiently. I was so embarrassed to ac­ knowledge this was my gradua­ tion. Channel 3 television was tap- ing the entire event. I watched the six o'clock news nervously antici­ pating what they had to say about the whole fiasco. Luckily, they sim­ ply acknowledged that we had had a graduation ceremony. For the past decade, Appala­ chian has striven to become more than just a 'Teacher's College," but — to offer edu­ cational op­ portunities in all fields and to be com­ petitive with all North Carolina col­ leges and uni­ versities. Instead, the gradua­ tion por­ trayed the university and its stu­ dents as a bunch of hill­ billies who had never been exposed to the eti­ quette of a formal occasion. For the first time in four years I was embarrassed and humiliated to represent Appalachian. "What I did not expect was the families of the graduating students being so rude and out of control." stationed A nhntnvranher was stationed photographer at the foot of the stage, where each student came across. The photog­ rapher was there in order to take each person's picture so that par­ ents, family members, and friends would not crowd the field. What happened to crowd con­ trol? At no time did Chancellor Borkowski take any measures to direct the crowd back to their seats. Did he not realize this was a direct reflection of him and the students of Appalachian? Instead of taking part in this long-awaited, "dignified" cer­ emony, I felt more like a part of a circus. This ceremony was a threering circus: in ring 1, Chancellor Borkowski standing by, grinning, with absolute oblivion to the chaos at hand; ring 2, parents crowding the processional isles, sitting with their student, oblivious to those who had not had their names called: and ring 3, the leftover stu­ dents who really never felt their moment of glory! I wonder why universities twice our size can have well-orga­ nized, unified ceremonies and Ap­ palachian cannot?

Jennifer Pugh ASU Box 14591 Send Letters to the Editor by 5 p.m., April 25 for publication this semester. I Clyde Morgan Guest Columnist I would like to address an ar­ ticle by Steve Mackay printed in Thursday's April 6 edition entitled "Hollywood should support the arts." I'm afraid that Mr. Mackay is writing from an extremely illinformed and ignorant viewpoint that seems to be motivated more by current Republican doctrine rather than personal knowledge and academic research of the facts. He is quoted as saying that 'The NEA is the most expendable program on the government's al­ ready full plate." Not only is this statement fueled by opinion and current conservative dogma, it is absolutely not true. If Mr. Mackay had bothered to check his facts, he would have known that the NEA's budget to­ tals $141,950,000 (amount taken from the 1996 U.S. Federal Bud­ get document). This one program of govern­ ment-sponsored art did not even compare to the thousands of other programs that cost as much as ten times as much as the budget ex­ penditure for the NEA. In other words, it was a single digit frac­ tion of the total federal budget. The NEA costs the average citi­ zen less than one dollar a year. Are you that stingy that you will not give one dollar for the arts on a national level? Did you know that the percentage of NEA funds that went to persons seeking grants was less than two percent? The majority of NEA funding goes to arts and crafts fairs and community arts centers (remem­ ber the Jones House?). The rest goes to opera houses, theatres, arts programs, outdoor dramas, schools, and at the bottom of list, artists seeking grant money to fund their work. The argument against the NEA is unfounded but very popular. It was made popular by people like Jesse Helms who was offended by art funded by the government. So, if the Republicans have their way, the NEA ceases to be. You were correct in saying that the nation will not collapse with­ * out art, but what you don't know is that without those funds, hun­ dreds and possibly thousands of theatres, community centers, and arts programs cease to be. That's right, jobs and people's careers are ruined because you and the Republicans' refuse to shell out the pocket change that it costs to keep the arts alive. You propose closing down hundreds of muse­ ums and sending a message to the world that America does not sup­ port nor care about the arts. Let me clue you in to some­ thing. If the arts were not that im­ portant, why do so many people go to plays, movies, concerts, mu­ seums, festivals, etc? They do be­ cause life is hard enough as it is and we all need a little enjoyment and enrichment in it. And don't try to tell me that if the public cared so much then why can't we privatize the arts; that's a whole other article. That is why we rely on grants. People aren't will­ ing for their "one dollar" to go the arts, but they don't hesitate to turn on their television, go to the mov­ ies, or watch their little girl or boy in thetschool play. "Government sponsored art just isn't vital to life and our nation's success" is what you said. I would have to say that that is one of the most shallow and short­ sighted statements I have ever read. One more thing before I step off my soapbox. Your cartoon de­ picted a poor child being deprived money because Uncle Sam was giving it to a "gay, sadomasochistic photographer." That is an ex­ tremely tasteless representation of the arts community and it upsets me that you chose a prejudiced and misrepresentational icon for those of us who pursue the arts as a career. As for your symbol of the poor being left out in the cold, I do be­ lieve the Republicans' are eliminat­ ing WIC (Woman Infant and Chil­ dren) which provides food for chil­ dren of poor, single mothers, elimi­ nating the federal school lunch program, and trying to wipe out welfare. I don't see any gay sadomasochists taking food out of babies' mouths, now do I? Destruction of trees must stop To the Editor: April 5,1995 marks the death of something very dear to me.

Lee Taylor ASU Box 15314 LT6179 IOB lacks : resh air To the Editor: As an unhappy occupant of Raley Hall, I appreciate your re­ cent call for a ban on smoking in this building. Secondhand smoke is a well-documented lealth hazard. Windows which do not open and a poorly func­ tioning ventilation system greatly contribute to the prob­ lem. To protect my own health I try to minimize the time spent in Raley Hall. Students ought to reconsider decisions to major in business in light of the venti ation problems in the COB building. Repeated requests to past and present administrations for ventilation system improve­ ments (more fresh air needs to be drawn into the building) have not changed the situation. Al­ ready poor indoor air quality is made worse by the prevalence of tobacco smoke. It is ironic that the Director of Environmental Safety, Evan Rowe, was quoted in your edi torial as saying "if a department wishes to eliminate smoking a together they must have a legiti mate reason to do so." Appar ently protecting health is not sufficient. Fred Wallace Associate Professor of Economics �The Appalachian, Thursday 20 A Page 8 Phi Mfilllj Volunteers walk for hunger relief Angie Brady Features Editor April 29 marks the 27th annual CROP Walk, a 10 km walk around Boone to raise money to stamp out world hun­ ger. Walkers are taking pledges for their trek to help raise money to fight hunger both in our community and worldwide. The CROP Walk is sponsored by Watauga County's Hunger Coalition. But according to Hunger Colatition director Cinda McGuinn, "There is a lot of partici­ pation from other organizations. Area churches and other organizations are help­ ing, too." The CROP Walks are sponsored on a national level by Church World Service/CROR The organization was started just after World War II by farmers who harvested their crops and shipped them overseas to war-torn Europe. The CROP acronym originally stood for Christian Rural Overseas Project. Although the name has changed somewhat, the goal of the organization remains the same. There are roughly 100 CROP Walks held annually in North and South Carolina, but the Watauga , County walk is one of the oldest in North Carolina, Twenty-five ^ percent of the money raised by walkers stays Participation in the event is usu­ ally high. Several hundred people people in the community. "But the best thing to do , McGuinn, "is to go ahead and colle money and turn it in on Walk day n? than just getting pledges."

The Walk st and ends at Boone United Method Church on King Street.

Some people will generally not be able to walk because other things come up." McGuinn says the CROP Walk does see some ASU participation, but "We would love to have much more." McGuinn says the CROP Walk is fun for everyone. "It's for young and old," says McGuinn. "You'll see people of all ages, from those pushing baby strollers all the way up to octogenarians." McGuinn says that those wishing to participate in this year's CROP Walk should go by the Hunger Coalition located on West King Street directly across from the Watauga County Courthouse. It is located J/ 2LC*»NG in Watauga county to help buy food for the Hunger Coalition. The other 75 per­ cent is used by the Church World Service to buy food for the world's hungry. are expected to walk this year. "We had a little over 400 people walk last year," said McGuinn. "This year we've given out about1,000 walker pack- in the same building as the Ram's Rack. Walker packets and pledge sheets will be available there. Walkers then get pledges from McGuinn sums up the daji events by saying that "It's just a got, way to spend a Saturday morning." Tan is the color of choice for spring Vanessa Urruela Reporter Lately, especially since the weather has been nicer, tanned legs have been popping up all over Boone. Give or take a few lucky souls who went to the beach over Easter break, you can count on most of the bronzed limbs you see being created by a tanning bed. Maybe I've just been totally out of it, but recently I discovered that not only is tanning a popular activity here, it is also a competetive business. There are a handful of places that advertise tanning services in the phone book. Most are incorporated into other businesses like salons and video stores. I decided to check them out and call each one. What I found was really interesting. I had no idea that there was so much to tanning. I got so intrigued that I decided to try it for myself. I chose Hats Off Salon because it was closest to campus. Never having tanned before I had a lot of questions to ask before letting myself be baked by radiation. I spoke with Leslie Mintz who was very sympathetic to my worries and told me the truth. She described the basics of tanning and led me to the room where their stand up booth was. I have to admit that I have always thought tanning is a silly thing to pay to do. And, the thought of willingly exposing myself to that much radiation ranked below total body waxing on my list of things to do. Tanning booths have always seemed to me to be another fitness/ beauty trend left over from the '80's. It wasn't until after I talked to several friends who do it, and asked a lot of questions of Leslie, that I agreed to try it. Apprehensively, I entered the room and Leslie showed me how to wipe off the floor of the booth. She then showed me the button to turn the thing on and where the headphones were. She explained that the booth would automatically turn itself off after 20 minutes, showed me what to push to stop it by myself, and left. I stood for a few moments, hesitantly took off most of my clothes and climbed in. As soon as I put the headphones on and pushed the green button, I realized that I had forgotten to ask Leslie for the sticker thingees you put over your eyes while you tan in a stand up booth. I comforted myself with remembering her saying that she always just closed her eyes when she tanned and tried to relax. Overall, I think that tanning is worth it if you have the money and time. It does make me wonder what it is about being tan that we find so attractive, though. The bulbs began to hum a little and soon they were so bright I wouldn't have wanted to open my eyes anyway. The fans overhead turned on and my hair blew around my face. I tried to imagine what I must have looked like standing there squinting my eyes and listening to the radio in my underwear (I wanted to see if I could get a tan line). Sam Beckett from the television show Quantum Leap came to mind and I laughed. I kept imagining that part in the opening of that show when he comes out of the machine with his hair all wild and a blinding light surrounding him. Twenty minutes went by pretty quickly.

It was relaxing, and if I hadn't been standing I probably would have fallen asleep. It was also nice to be able to listen to music. I must admit that the first thing I did when I stepped out was to check my skin for tan lines. Sure enough I was slightly darker. I got dressed and Leslie came to check on me. She said that over a few hours I would notice my skin getting darker. She was right. By that afternoon I was really able to see the difference.

Greek Week starts with servici John Lane Assistant Features Editor The Appalachian State Men's Glee Club will be performing a free concert Friday at 8 p.m. in Rosen Concert Hall. Directed by Dr. Philip Paul, the 49-member chorus will perform compositions ranging from gospel songs to show tunes. For more information call the School of Music at262- 3020. Greek Week got under way this Utesday with a campus clean- up. For the second year, Greek organizations have de­ cided to show what they can give to the community and campus before they have some fun. In their Greek Week statement, the social service chairs Cliff Teague and Catherine Turnage said they hope "this Greek Week is one that is remembered for the contributions it made to humanity." At 4 p.m., at least 10 members from each Greek letter organization came to the fountain on Sanford Mall to get in groups and clean the campus. For their effort, each organization received points toward the Greek Week competition, which will really get under way next week. Each event during the two weeks are worth a pre- determined amount of points. The winning organization will not only get bragging rights, but will also be able to once again contribute to the com­ munity. Wednesday, an ice cream soO was held on Sanford Mall in which> the Greek organizations raised moflf At the end of next week, when all points are in, the group with the ffl" points will receive the money to dona1 to their national philanthropy. To finish off the community a1 vice week, the Greek community # sponsor a clothing drive and a caw11 food drive on Thursday and Friday, spectfully. After that, the fun begins. Hiesday and Wednesday, an inter- & ternal and panhellinic basketball to" nament will be held. Other sports elude football on Monday and co-ed s° cer, sorority Softball and fraternity haA ball.

"So this year, Greek Week will be completely funded by Greeks." To fund the week's activi­ ties, each organization was re­ quired to pay $100. Further, spon­ sors for the T- shirt commemorat­ ing the week have given money to help. Finally, the final night of Greek Week is an awards banquet with a band and barbecue, of which ticket sales also go to help fund the week. • Greek Week kicked off Tuesday with a campus clean-up (above) involving students from all the Greek letter organizations.

They began the stretch with two good games on Good Friday against Western Carolina. The Mountaineers began the first game with two runs off no hits in the bottom of the second inning. The Catamounts took the lead with three runs in the top of the fourth, and the Mountaineers returned the favor with two runs in the bottom of the fifth to re­ gain the lead, 4-3. Western Carolina responded with a home run in the top of the ninth to tie the game, daring the Mountaineers to score again. In the bottom of the ninth, Scott McDaniel struck out but reached first when the Western Carolina catcher dropped strike three. Then with one out, left fielder Brent Payton smacked a tworun homer over the left field fence to win the game for the Mountaineers, 6-4. Phil Falco gave up just one run and struck out four in five innings pitched. Reliever Dan Stutzman got the win, strik­ ing out the only batter he faced in the top of the ninth. Brent Payton went 2 for 5 at the plate with one run and three RBIs. The Mountaineers picked up where they left off in the second game, bringing four runs home in the bottom of the first. Western Carolina made their second comeback of the day, however, scoring seven runs in four innings to take a tworun lead into the bottom of the seventh. The Mountaineer baseball team won three of their five games over the break. (Photo by Rhett Butler) App came up big again in that inning when first-baseman Danny Allard singled to right, picking up two of his four RBIs and tying the game at seven. But the Cata­ mounts got revenge for game one, scor­ ing in the top of the ninth and stopping App in the bottom of the inning to win the game, 8-7. Allard led the Mountaineers with four RBIs off of two hits. Scott McDaniel added one run and one RBI and Shane Owenby had two runs off two hits. Appalachian continued to play well early in the rubber match on Saturday, scoring three runs in the bottom of the first. After allowing four Catamount runs in the top of the third, the Mountaineers regained the lead with three runs in the bottom of the third. Western hammered the Appalachian pitching in the top of the fourth, though, scoring eight runs and bringing twelve batters to the plate. The Mountaineer offense continued to prosper with 10 runs on 14 hits, but it just wasn't enough to overcome Western's 17 run, 15 hit performance. Scott Musgrave paced Appalachian batters with a great day at the plate, go­ ing 4 for 5 with two RBIs. Scott McDaniel added two runs and two RBIs. Appalachian bid happy Easter to NC A&T on Sunday with a mind-boggling of­ fensive blitzkrieg. The Mountaineers fell one run short of a school record, with 26 runs on 21 hits. They held the Aggies to three runs on six hits. Larry Taylor pitched five strong innings for Appalachian to pick up his second win of the season. see Baseball page 11 Apps dominate at home meet of 14.53.

Men squeak by at hom\ Special to the Appalachian One week ago, the ASU track team competed in its first and last home meet of the 1995 season. The Mountaineer men edged out a one-point victory over rival N.C. State, and a five-point victory over Virginia Tech. As ASU's penultimate meet of the regular season, the team was pleased to win and carry momentum into the week of preparation prior to the South­ ern Conference meet in Huntington, WVa. this weekend. "Neither us, or State and Tech really ran our people in 'their' events, but then, that's what these 'fun' meets are about," said coach A1 Fereshetian. What Fereshetian was alluding to was that each of the three teams were preparing for their respective conference meets. Conse­ quently, the athletes from each team got a chance to compete in a number of dif­ ferent events. For example, the meet did not carry a full distance event line-up, rather their shorter counterparts. It was in these mid-distance events that the Mountaineers showed strength. In the 3000m, Tommy Holland sat on a tired Marshal Ferguson of Virginia Tech for 2600m, Holland then blasted past the wilted stature of the Tech runner for the win. Similar circumstances surrounded the 2000m steeplechase. Chris Huffstickler ran just inches off the shoul­ der of N.C. State's runner until 600 meters remained. At that point, Huffstickler sealed his opponent's fate with a power­ ful last lap. In the 1500m, ASU packed a good num­ ber of young runners in. Tom Holland was 2nd in 4:01, Judson Sarver 3rd in 4:01, and Seth Peoples fourth in 4:01 as well. In the short sprints, Andy Raynor showed a strong 100m victory in 10.93. Off the track and to the throwing circle: Rich grant continued his perpetual domi­ nance of the Hammer with three fantas­ tic throws. His best for the day was a na­ tional qualifying 200'2". Rich threw on Friday at South Carolina and ^ a personal record of 204'4".

It was the day you climbed into the family heap with Ma and Pop, crammed against the mini fridge and suitcases and posters. The day you met your first college room­ mate, found a place on campus to eat, and located the nearest ATM. The first weeks and months of school away from home are uncer­ tain enough for most teenagers. Yet student-athletes are bound to balance sports upon the drag of classes and the challenge of unfamiliarity, not to mention the host of other problems which they and non-athletes share. Well-known among the general population is the inability of many high school athletes to handle col­ lege environments. The media spotlights the SAT and ACT results of nearly every notable teen pros­ pect - tne most recent example is basketball's newest superman, fi­ ll Kevin Garnett of Illinois. Gamett is being played as a young man who could become the fourth high school-to-NBA phenom in league history (a short list that includes Moses Malone and Darryl Dawkins). All because Kevin Garnett may Advertising Sales Representative There Is an Immediate opening for an advertising sales representa­ tive to sell newspaper space. Duties Include face-to-face sales calls and developing advertising and marketing strategies to help retailers and automotive dealers move products through effective newspaper advertising design and promotion. The ideal candidate would be a self starter, have sales experience and possess knowledge of advertising and layout design. SELF EXAMINATION Maybe the most simple answer to this problem is TOO easy; re­ turn to the days when freshman athletes were required to sit out the first year. For one school yeai; the stu­ dent-athlete will be a student. Pe­ riod. And for those high school ath­ letes who are lacking in the study skills and reading skills, any dedi­ cated university will be capable of exposing these weaknesses and beating them (and be reminded that there are also plenty of nonathletes who need such help). Considering the long term, there is not a single thing wrong with asking students to earn the right to play competitive sports at a school. At best, two semesters without that which the athlete is most comfortable could uncover an entirely new direction in his life. And if the athlete realizes that he needs a particular grade point av­ erage before sliding into those shoulder pads, what could be bet­ ter incentive to stick his nose in a book every now and again? WATCHDOG The most obvious sour spot for fans regarding the elderly threeyear eligibility plan is that it's only three years. The NCAA should con­ sider allowing an optional fourth season - after all, the average col­ lege student leaves school in fourand-one-half to five years in the '90's. Who ever decided that four years had to be the standard for­ ever? Then there are those high school athletes with talent who have absolutely no interest in any­ thing but sports; they believe that there's moolah to be raked by way of their abilities on the field and that college would be a waste. Terrific. Baseball has minor leagues out the you-know-what why not form more farm leagues for other sports? Besides Europe's leagues and the Continental Bas­ ketball Association, hoops doesn't have much below the NBA. Foot­ ball is even more lacking. Give the lifelong athlete an outlet, too.

Adams delivered his final university address to the SGA Senate last Hiesday night. He praised his cabinet members for their work over the academic year. "They are not only highly motivated, but they have ... always had the knowledge to effectively perform the duties of their office," he said. Adams addressed some of the concerns some members of SGA Senate had over the lack of diversity on his cabi­ net. Eleven of 14 of his cabinet are mem­ bers of a Greek organization. "Diversity is not an issue of color, gender, or even organizational involve­ ment - be that involvement Greek or reli­ gious," he said. "Diversity is an issue of the mind." "This year's cabinet is not only diverse in thought and opinions, but they have proved this commitment to diversity by working many hours to ensure that all sides of an issue were heard," he said. Adams praised SGA Vice Presi­ dent Jane Mclntyre for her efforts in SGA the past year. "The selection of Jane Mclntyre as this year's vice president is the abso­ lute single best decision that I have ever made," he said. Adams also brought up the recent debate over the Appalachian Community and Environmental Stewardship Fee. The proposal failed in a student referendum in February. 'This organization must represent and be held accountable to the entire stu­ dent body... not just a small portion," he said. Adams commended SGA External Affairs Chair Jason Kincaid for his work with "Into The Streets" and "Spring Fling" and Public Affairs Chair Jo Beth Banks for her work on the Homecoming events. Also, he praised Di­ rector of Mountaineer Escort Tim Gray for his dedication to Mountaineer Escort. cabinet. He was narrowly approved by the SGA Senate, when some senators raised questions of his character and atti­ tude. "The difficult confirmation was un­ deserving, but reminded us how ... poli­ tics can consume this organization," he said. In closing, Adams addressed SGA President-elect Darby Weaver and SGA Vice President-elect Robyn Martin. Para­ phrasing Dan Quayle, Adams said, "If you run your administration as well as you ran your campaign, the students will have elected two very effective and capable leaders." During informal discussion, offcampus Senator Dan Norris thanked Adams and Mclntyre for helping Weaver and Martin achieve a smooth transition into their future positions. Adams also said that Stu­ dent Affairs Chair April Farwell has done a good job with pro­ grams such as the safety walk, alcohol awareness is­ sues, and the security fo­ rum. Adams also discussed Academic Af­ fairs Chair Alex Walter's semester on SGA President J.D.

This board would consist of six public people from the professional, business or labor community and 15 officials from higher education. The proposal has met opposition Chancellor Frances T. Borkowski has been asked to review a new proposal that would create national standards for university accreditation. The National Policy Board on Higher Education In­ stitutional Accreditation has proposed the installation of national standards for all uni­ versities to meet in order to be recognized as a university of high standards. The NPB has asked for the input of the education community on this new pro­ posal. Borkowski "I think it's going to pass," said Borkowski.

The NPB maintains that establish­ ing national standards would encourage the consistency of the procedures and standards among regional accrediting agencies as well. This part of the proposal sets guidelines for the regional accredit­ ing bodies. The proposal also creates a task force that would rec­ ommend how to develop a certification program for spe­ cialized, regional accrediting agencies. According to Borkowski, the creation of national stan­ dards for accreditation would help hold down costs for Ap­ palachian. "It is expensive for ASU to get accrediting bodies to come to campus," said Borkowski. Appalachian was up for accreditation in 1992 and will not be up for another review until 2002. The NPB will be entertaining feedback from the academic community to help strengthen the proposal. Presidents and chancellors are be­ ing sent copies of the draft proposal and asked for comment. There has also been a meeting in June to hear from the advi­ sory committee. The proposal is being debated and a date has not been set for a final vote by the NPB. "Accreditation has been under attack for quite a few years." In addition, several USENET News discussion groups would also be eliminated. USENET (accessed by typing NEWS at the $ prompt), consists of over 4,000 individual discussion groups where users with common interests can post messages for other readers to read and to which they can respond. To comply with the provisions of S. 314, areas which contain sexual or por­ nographic content "would have to be dropped in accordance with the law," said Combs. Despite the bill's noble intentions, many Internet users feel that S. 314 is a major infringement of their first amend­ ment rights. In retaliation, users have see Internet page 2 NewWASU station manager selected Tiffany Lohman Assistant News Editor Sophomore Johnathan Mauney has been chosen to be the station man­ ager for WASU for the1995-95 academic year. Mauney was selected from an interview with the Student Media Board and Dr. Gregory Blimling, vice chancel- i lor of student development. Mauney is a broadcast produc­ tion major who has worked with WASU for the past two years. Mauney also did internships with WBTV News and WTVI-42 during his senior year at West Charlotte High School. Mauney is currently the produc­ tion manger at WASU and works writ­ ing the Public Service Announcements and promotional spots. He has spoken with students about what they would like the radio sta-1 tion to be. Mauney's goals for the station next year include increasing listeners by playing more popular music, serving stu­ dent needs and working with the com­ munication department to provide a learning lab for students.

The petition, which some Appalachian students have re­ ceived by way of E-Mail, asks that passage of S. 314 be blocked not only on the basis of first amend­ ment rights violations, but also due to financial burden placed on smaller companies. Those unable to equip themselves with the nec­ essary manpower or technology to enforce the provisions of the bill would most likely go out of busi­ ness. Students also feel threat­ ened by the potential aftereffects of S. 314. "The Internet is our last form of freedom of speech," said freshman Nicole Bubolo of Northport, N.Y. "I feel the Internet should be left uncensored." There are others however, who are willing to surrender their first amendment rights in order to prevent young children from be­ ing exposed to the material that S. 314 would eliminate. Freshman Anna Suhonen of Lawrenceville, Ga., said "The Internet contains a lot of adult material I wouldn't want in the hands of any eight-year-old."

J Feeling the powers of sexuality sex a grim necessity. The fastest way to get something banned in the art world is to make it sexually unusual. Even an ar­ ticle in this paper ("Hollywood should support the arts," April 6) recently made a "gay sodomasochistic photographer" as its symbol for the art world. Why not sim­ ply a "photographer?" Because there would not have been a negative image with just the term "photographer." And sure, we're progressing. Several years ago, the article could have simply said "gay photographer," and it would have been enough for the negative image. Now we need "sodomasochistic" to really give it that sinful taste. But the fact is, sexu had nothing to do with the article, using "gay" and "sadomasochistic" i attempt to slander the artist is hu name-calling at best. Sure, sexuality can be dangerou is powerful.

Secondly, do the jobs exist, or legislature's plan to cut higher edu­ cation is unfair and shortsighted. In a press release issued April 6, 1995, Spangler points out that the state is enjoying a year of eco­ nomic upturn.

Spangler, argues that the tion in recent years knows that the state was in recession from 19901993, and that the university's bud­ get was slashed throughout that period. Hundreds of positions were surrendered while student enrollment increased. The univer­ sity carried on, shouldering its share of the economic burden. Now in a moment of economic fair weather, legislators are turning against higher education again. Spangler worries that "by making the 16-campus university less attractive to faculty and to stu­ dents, we are exchanging a win­ ning game plan for a set of budget numbers derived from elementary exercises in-basic arithmetic, with litde thoughtful concern for con­ sequences." The Republican majority's first 100 days are over and as the dust settles many people are concerned for the future. In the rush to de­ liver smaller government, legisla­ tors are wounding a fundamental source of economic prosperity and social progress in this state by cut­ ting the university budget in a time of revenue surplus.

The Lady Apps, coming off of disap­ pointing performances at William and Mary and Duke looked to the tournament as an opportunity to finish the season on a positive note. The squad's second place showing in the four team field went a long way in doing just that. The team's combined score of 982 over 54 holes was well off that of Furman's 897 stroke championship performance, but was good enough to top East Tennes­ see State with 1,012 and Western Caro­ lina with 1,283.

App baseball heads t o Hickory Stephen Hensley Assistant Sports Editor There will be something special about Appalachian's baseball game with North Carolina on Tuesday, April 25. Even though the Mountaineers face the Tarheels every season, this will be the first time that the game will be held in L. R Franz Sta­ dium in Hickory. The game is part of an effort by L. R Franz Stadium, the current home of the Hickory Crawdads minor league baseball team, to host the ACC Baseball Champi­ onships. Since the Crawdads came to town, Hickory has shown great support for baseball, and landing a big college tournament is the next step. "They have bid for the ACC tourna­ ment," said Appalachian State Assistant Athletic Director Mark Dreibilbis. "They want a lot of people to show that there is support, not only for the Crawdads, but also for intercollegiate baseball." The gates will open at 6 p.m., an hour before game time, to allow for the events scheduled for the evening. There will be a pre-game tailgate party with a band, carnival games including the velcro wall and sumo suits, and full stadium consessions. The cost for the entire event is only $3 for the general public and $1 with an Appalachian ID. "This is a game for Appalachian that is good for exposure," said Dreibelbis. 'This is the final game before the conference tournament." Before the Apps lock horns with the Heels however, the Mountaineers will fin­ ish their conference schedule including home games against Western Carolina and non-conference North Carolina A&T.

According to SGA Vice President Jane Mclntyre, Foster was in­ vited to speak as part of the SGA-sponsored Safety Awareness Week. Foster said vandalism is one of the most commonly reported crimes on cam­ pus. According to Foster, so far this year there has been $10,000 damage to uni­ versity property because of vandals.

According to Walters, the com­ puter room could be in either Raley Hall or the extension of the Plemmons Student Union. SGA Vice President Jane Mclntyre told the senate that a meeting room has been established in Welbom Caf­ eteria.

The NEA is the most expendable program on the government's already full plate. It's sad, but true. Our nation can survive very well without govern­ ment-sponsored art. Don't get me wrong. Iam not an art-hating conservative tightwad who lives only for Grey Poupon. I love art with all of my heart. I am minoring in art (al­ though I may now be banned from Wey Hall for writing this article). I am at my paramount happiness when I pick up a paintbrush or a pencil and create a piece of art. The cartoon accompany­ ing this article is mine. However, when the chips fall, government-spon­ sored art just isn't that vital to life and our nation's success. We need to make choices in how the government spends our tax money. So, do we give our money to a gay sadomasochistic photographer or do we give it to a home­ less five-year-old? These are tough choices that need to be answered. Now. We, as a nation, simply cannot af­ ford to throw money at every cause in the book. The Republican Congress made a promise in the Contract With America that the budget has to be cut significantly. Newt Gingrich has been catching hellfire for his school lunch revamp idea, among other controversial items. One of his targets is the NEA- I hope he hits a bulls-eye on this one. The government has no place, nor money, to be funding such a huge bureaucratic dead­ weight. So, how do we fund the arts? Simple, remember all those whining actors at the Academy Awards? Well, they have so much money it's coming out of their ears. "Forrest Gump" has, so far, raked in $320 million at the box office. That's a hell of a lot of moneymost of it is pure profit.

From the articles I have read this year, I think the entire staff, minus a FEW good and pro­ fessional writers, needs to take heed. This letter is in regard to the Editorial page in Thursday's (March 30) paper. I was appalled to see the statement "For those who think the students who pro­ duce The Appalachian are not entitled to an opinion" in a blank "Our Opinion" column. I found that display and statement to be very rude, sarcastic, and disre­ spectful to anyone who actually picks up the paper and reads it. Your professionalism is lacking.

Kinney Slover ASU Box 11643 Is App 'environmentally conscious? To the editor: There are so many advan­ tages of attending a college where its students would consider them­ selves environmentally aware. We get to have a political say, to an extent, in what happens to the world arotyid us*^.Whether it be about the posifibl^development of a nearby natural area, or the democratic process of electing our student government leaders, every one of us has the right, and yes, the responsibility to respond to these issues. Yet, when it comes down to everyday, mundane life, how do we as a collective commu­ nity respond? During this freak of nature we would all like to believe is an early spring, I have spent a total of three days out on Sanford Mall. I would bring out my blanket, an Anne Rice novel, and one of those "environmentally conscious" Ap­ palachian cups. The only thing I would regretfully leave behind was a far too big impression on the grass where my rear end was. To­ day, though, I decided to go to class and on my way back I had a chance to envy those who had the time to be out there. A potpourri of stu­ dents filled the lawn with procla­ mations on their shirts to save Mother Earth. Ah, yes, the joys of being environmentally aware. A closer look let me see the true character of this school. All along the sidewalk in front of the cafeteria were paper cups, take-out boxes, empty yogurt cups with the spoons still left in them, and the wrappers from those little mints you can buy at the Food Court cash registers. There was even a glass from the cafeteria wedged in the corner of a stone ledge. I looked ahead to see if perhaps a garbage can had toppled over and the wind had carried the trash to where it was. But no, nothing to explain the garbage that made our student body look like a bunch of kids. You see, I can complain about all of this. I have the right. Everyone who wanted to save Howard's Knob from the destruc­ tive side of humanity who was out on the mall can just go hang up your T-shirts about recycling and hide your ACES stickers because you did npthing. There will be no pleas of ignorance and no pathetic excuses because the obvious is obvious. I carried at least six or seven loads to a garbage can right in front of the cafeteria. Some people gave me the funniest looks. Mostly, though, I was just as ig­ nored as the trash. It takes three seconds to throw away your own trash. It takes even less effort to try to con­ vince yourself that you actually care about something other than yourself. Jennifer Samson ASU Box 11016 �Our Opinion... Prohibit TV violence not a laughing matter freshman parking Erica Everett Columnist Television broadcasting compa­ nies claim that in order to keep their rat­ ings up they must include violence in their programming. Violence is the last thing that we need on television. It contributes to an increase in aggressive behavior in our society. Studies in social psychology should persuade the television companies to take violence out of their shows. The Nielson rating study showed that there is no correlation between the amount of violence found in television shows and the popularity of the program. This is not to say that there is an absence of violence on television. By the age of 18 the average person sees 22,000 murders on television. What does this mean that we have subjected ourselves to? Pick up any Psychology book and you will find the answer. Children act out the violent acts Appalachian has a parking prob­ lem. There are too many cars for the num­ ber of spaces available. To help alleviate this problem, Appalachian should prohibit freshman parking. Currently, there are 936 freshmen registered to park on campus (not includ­ ing those who commute). Their parking is restricted to the State Farm parking area during the week, and they are only al­ lowed to bring their cars to campus on the weekends- a policy that is not strictly enforced. By eliminating freshman parking with certain exceptions, such as the 253 commuting freshmen and those an exten­ sive distance from home, Appalachian would free-up close to 1,000 spaces. The State Farm lot would be open for upperclassmen who live on campus. By taking these cars away from campus, more spaces would be available for stu­ dents who commute. This would not only open State Farm, but would also effec­ tively keep unnecessary cars off campus Jason K.R. Wilkinson during the week.

All of a sudden, this dating thing has a completely different sound to it. It's serious business now. Of course, if you start looking at someone on a first date as someone to spend the rest of your life with ... well, this doesn't exactly work either. A couple of friends and I have recently spent a fair amount of time talk ing about the whole or­ deal. We are not ex­ perts, by experience or knowledge, but I think we have found a couple of things that stand true. Two people who are attracted to each other can never ever be friends in the same way that two people who are not attracted to each other can. This is often the most contested of my cen­ tral truths, so I figured I would start with it. Have a look at the hierarchy of needs, and you will see that it goes something like (in order): Food, survival of the spe­ cies, reproduction of the species, and need of the species to listen to disco. The first thing the human brain does when you see a person is determine whether that per­ son is male or female. And the next thing it determines is if the person is attractive. Everything else is founded on this base, and no one can escape it. It always playj a part. Distance relationships never work. If they are founded on closeness, but the person has to move away, thereis a chance, but it is rare. Some of you may be inclined to write and tell me of yot wonderful distance relationship and well it works. I guess this would be exception, but for the most part "dist; relationships never work." Relationships you start wl drunk rarely turn out to be very he: or stable. When people sober up, tions return, and the situation become] one founded on awkwardness. .j 'Final rule: NEVER date someoif who has a significant other. Bad nei Even if it seems like a wonderful idea, all smoke and mirrors, because it a be a good idea. Except for (like the di p tance rule) when it actually works. Then are many other rules to go into, but I gues the most important things to rememte are: 1) Don't be scared to ask, nothinj ® ventured, nothing gained and 2) Don'tdd anything stupid.

They should be commended- they are a minority and they better the uni­ versity with their presence and in­ volvement, as does nearly every student on this campus. If we are all here on our abilities, then none of us should have to bear the stigma of status. We need more minorities because without them, ASU cannot prepare us for the world. But quotas and diversity reports shouldn't do this- it should be because of the students, our acceptance and willingness to pro­ mote a sense of an equal commu­ nity for all people. Thereby we all will uphold the outstanding repu­ tation of ASU because we are already diverse.

The NEA is the most expendable program on the government's already full plate. It's sad, but true. Our nation can survive very well without govern­ ment-sponsored art. Don't get me wrong. Iam not an art-hating conservative tightwad who lives only for Grey Poupon. I love art with all of my heart. I am minoring in art (al­ though I may now be banned from Wey Hall for writing this article). I am at my paramount happiness when I pick up a paintbrush or a pencil and create a piece of art. The cartoon accompany­ ing this article is mine. However, when the chips fall, government-spon­ sored art just isn't that vital to life and our nation's success. We need to make choices in how the government spends our tax money. So, do we give our money to a gay sadomasochistic photographer or do we give it to a home­ less five-year-old? These are tough choices that need to be answered. Now. We, as a nation, simply cannot af­ ford to throw money at every cause in the book. The Republican Congress made a promise in the Contract With America that the budget has to be cut significantly. Newt Gingrich has been catching hellfire for his school lunch revamp idea, among other controversial items. One of his targets is the NEA- I hope he hits a bulls-eye on this one. The government has no place, nor money, to be funding such a huge bureaucratic dead­ weight. So, how do we fund the arts? Simple, remember all those whining actors at the Academy Awards? Well, they have so much money it's coming out of their ears. "Forrest Gump" has, so far, raked in $320 million at the box office. That's a hell of a lot of moneymost of it is pure profit. If Holly­ wood is in its cause, then I'm sure it can give some of its money to the NEA.

From the articles I have read this year, I think the entire staff, minus a FEW good and pro­ fessional writers, needs to take heed. This letter is in regard to the Editorial page in Thursday's (March 30) paper. I was appalled to see the statement "For those who think the students who pro­ duce The Appalachian are not entitled to an opinion" in a blank "Our Opinion" column. I found that display and statement to be very rude, sarcastic, and disre­ spectful to anyone who actually picks up the paper and reads it. Your professionalism is lacking. Some of the staff members obvi­ ously need to learn a little moreno, I take that back- a lot more about what it means to be profes­ sional. Kinney Slover ASU Box 11643 To the editor: There are so many advan­ tages of attending a college where its students would consider them­ selves environmentally aware. We get to have a political say, to an extent, in what happens to the world aroujid us*,_Whether it be about the posSiWedevelopment of a nearby natural area, or the atural democratic process of electing our student government leaders, every one of us has the right, and yes, the responsibility to respond to these issues. Yet, when it comes down to everyday, mundane life, how do we as a collective commu­ nity respond? During this freak of nature we would all like to believe is an early spring, I have spent a total of three days out on Sanford Mall. I would bring out my blanket, an Anne Rice novel, and one of those "environmentally conscious" Ap­ palachian cups. The only thing I would regretfully leave behind was a far too big impression on the grass where my rear end was. To­ day, though, I decided to go to class and on my way back I had a chance to envy those who had the time to be out there. A potpourri of stu­ dents filled the lawn with procla­ mations on their shirts to save Mother Earth. Ah, yes, the joys of being environmentally aware. A closer look let me see the true character of this school. All along the sidewalk in front of the cafeteria were paper cups, take-out boxes, empty yogurt cups with the spoons still left in them, and the wrappers from those little mints you can buy at the Food Court cash registers. There was even a glass from the cafeteria wedged in the corner of a stone ledge. I looked ahead to see if perhaps a garbage can had toppled over and the wind had carried the trash to where it was. But no, nothing to explain the garbage that made our student body look like a bunch of kids. You see, I can complain about all of this. I have the right. Everyone who wanted to save Howard's Knob from the destruc­ tive side of humanity who was out on the mall can just go hang up your T-shirts about recycling and hide your ACES stickers because you did i\othing. There will be no pleas of ignorance and no pathetic excuses because the obvious is obvious. I carried at least six or seven loads to a garbage can right in front of the cafeteria. Some people gave me the funniest looks. Mostly, though, 1 was just as ig nored as the trash. It takes three seconds to throw away your own trash, takes even less effort to try to con­ vince yourself that you actually care about something other than yourself. Jennifer Samson ASU Box 11016 �The Appalachian. Thursday 6 a Page 6 Ml* Affrilachian writers explore commonalities and diversity of region John Lane Assistant Features Editor "Not until you fully accept whoever you are and wherever you are from will you ever be able to write about other people and things," said Nikki Finney, one of the Affrilachian writers who visited ASU this Monday and Tuesday. Monday night, Finney, along with Frank X. Walker and Gurney Norman, gave readings of poetry and prose in I.G. Greer auditorium. They are three writers who associate with the group of writers from the Appalachian region, grouped un­ der the name of a poem by Walker. Affrilachian came from "slamming" Africa and Appalachian together. The poem gives the commonalities of all people from Appalachia, re­ gardless of gender, race or religion. The poem was inspired when he went to a reading at The Opera House in Lexington, Kentucky. The theme of the evening was on the Appalachian region, and the only African-American was a Cali­ fornia writer. Walker asked, "Why did they have to go so far (to find an African-American writer)?" Therefore, he organized his own work and took it upon himself to give the region true representa­ tion. Walker, a native of Kentucky, was the first reader, and his influence is drawn mostly from his family and their life in the tobacco country of Ken­ tucky. One example of which was "The Cutting Season." This poem was under work, But Walker explained that the best way he found to finish a poem was to read it over and over again. Of the poems Walker chose to share, the ones about his "large, strange, wonderful family" gave the most insight into his thoughts and life. "Somebody scream, please," was a line from "Awake," a poem about his grandmother's funeral, and showed a side of himself that was also seen in his inspiring style of presentation. But another side of Walker could be seen in "Kenta Colored Heart," which is a poem about a friend from college who died young. "Picked up this pencil/ and cut away at this pain in my heart." Nikki Finney achieves a wide arrow of styles and topics in her poetry. She uses history of family and the Appalachian region as a basis, but goes to extremes from there. Her beginning sug­ gestion was for all writers to "stay close to the soil...whatever that means to you." In "Fishing Among the Learned," a poem about teaching, it is possible to see what it per­ haps means to her. The work was inspired by her grandmother, who taught Finney much about life in general by teaching her how to fish. "You don't just fish to catch/ you fish to keep/ to have some­ thing to give back." Gurney Norman is a celebrated prose writer of Appalachia. His humor can be seen in relating life The poem "Affrilachian" came from "slamming " Africa and Appalachian together. The poem gives the commonalities of all people from Appalachia, regardless of gender, race or religion. of the region in the form of short anecdotes, letters and even obituaries, and the humor only increases when the stories are read aloud in Norman's squeaky Kentucky voice. To his credit are the books "Divine Right's Trip" and "Kinfolks." Of other published writings, Norman said, "I'm the token hillbilly in the [Wibird] anthology," which includes writers of diverse eth­ nic groups. Affrilachian Writer Gurney Norman (top right) reads from his upcoming novel Monday night in I.G. Greer Auditorium. Frank Walker and Nikki Finney (above) talk to students about poetry and the Appalachian influence tuesday morning in Sanford. (Photos by John Lane.) "Writers talk about their material, and so do quilters," said Norman, and this bestde. scribes his work. His examples of this were hji biography of a Kentuckian in New York, and he said, "I was on an adventure and it was urgent that I talk." On Tuesday, Finney and Walker returned to work with the students of a beginning creative writing class. They talked about every­ thing from influences to improving writing and, since both are teachers, seemed to affect the stu­ dents greatly. "When it starts to get emotionally uiy comfortable, that's when you are starting to ga close," said Walker on writers discovering theni selves. But he went on to say, "You don't always have to invent what you write about. You cat find it out there, and make it yours." Finney concurred. "It is important for me to be a camera. To be as visual as I can," she said. "If you ever feel you've arrived, you'® dead...you've quit growing." All three artists have made great strides for arts in the region, not only for African-Ameri cans, and not only in writing. Norman giv$s perspective of family life in the Appalachia#! more than any ethnic group, and Walker aire works in visual arts. But their influence together as the Affrilachian writers is the most widely known. As Rice said of her upcoming book re lease, Rice, "Sometimes we look so much atoti differences, we don't see our similarities." This statement typifies the Affrilachian's mission by allowing all to see our similarities. , It's Allgood at Legend's Art exhibit shows off students1 best works, Angie Brady in Boone Features Editor Michael Greene Reporter Allgood, with special guest Cat­ fish Jenkins, will be playing at Legends in Boone tonight for a display of some of the best music the Southeast has to offer. Allgood is a rhythm and bluesbased southern rock band out of Georgia. The band formed in 1987 when five guys decided to get together for fun. Less than a year later, Allgood Music Company, as it was then called, started playing around the Southeast, building a steady follow­ ing. They recorded their first indepen­ dent album in 1991. "Ride the Bee" was recorded over about a three month period and was produced by Johnny Sandlin, who has worked in the past with bands like the Allman Brothers. Since then, Allgood has been signed by A&M Records, and have re­ leased two albums, "Uncommon Goal" and "Kickin' and Screamin'," as a live al­ bum. Allgood was part of the second annual H.O.R.D.E. Tour which featured acts like Blues Traveler, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, and Widespread Panic. They later went on by teaming up with Big Head Todd on a successful tour of the Midwest and Northeast.

APRIL 11 8 p.m., Farthing Auditorium Appalachian State University FORUM Free Admission 262-4046 Sponsored by Appalachian's Office of Cultural Affairs Appalachian 11 STATt UNIVERSITY �Lacrosse season in full swing Special To The Appalachian Despite a challenging schedule in the Western Division of the National College Lacrosse League, the Appalachian men's team has compiled a 3-3 record through the midpoint of the spring season. Recent victories against North Carolina Wesleyan and Davidson have demonstrated the po­ tential of this rising young team. In the 16-7 victory over North Caro­ lina Wesleyan, nine Mountaineer players were involved in the scoring. Freshman Tom Seuss led the way with a spectacular display of stickhandling resulting in six goals and one assist. Andy Kisslo also played a solid game of ball control, con­ tributing two goals and two assists. Brad Broughton scored a hat trick with his three goal performance. Senior Tom Riley added two goals while dominating his faceoffs. Freshman Matt Christian chipped in a goal and an assist. Tripp McDuffie assisted on two goals, and Dan Stewart, a new player, scored his first goal on a blistering bounce shot. To complete the scoring, Chris Dryden added a goal while Jeff McNinch collected an assist. In the Davidson game with the score knotted at 2-2 and less than two minutes remaining, Seuss took a transition pass, broke to the goal, dodged and twisted past two defenders and scored to secure the 3- Payton: App's big hitter David Willis Reporter Junior transfer Brent Payton has the Mountaineer baseball team on the right track and looking to do some damage down the home stretch. After a miserable 3-12-1 start, the Mountaineers have won nine of their last 15 games, the rest of which could have gone either way. Payton is leading the team in batting, hitting .344; homeruns, with 7; and RBIs, with I wanted to 30. play Division I Brent attributes his baseball and love of the my coach at game to his father, who Brevard was taught him always talking how to play about how when he was very young. great "I knew I Appalachian wanted to play seriously was," -Payton. ever since little league," said Payton. Before coming to Appalachian, Payton played two years at Brevard Junior Col­ lege, where last season, he helped his team reach the College World Series. "We lost our only two games, but it was a great experience and I hope to go again with ASU," said Payton. He led Brevard last year in RBIs, batting for a .380 average, and hit 9 homeruns. Payton said he feels he is playing pretty well right now, but noted that he is not quite playing up to his potential. He would like to improve his running speed and be able to steal more bases. So far this season, he is 4-5 in that category. At 6'1" tall and 175 lbs, he's not ex­ actly Frank Thomas or Cecil Fielder, but this compact power hitter is much like his favorite player, Ron Gant. Payton says his greatest personal achievement would have to be last year when he hit two homeruns in one game in the College World Series. An impressive achievement in itself. A quiet person generally, Payton does his talking on the field. He leaves the lead­ ership duties up to guys like Dave Young, Matt Russell, and Garth Armstrong, al­ though he likes to consider himself a mo­ tivator on the field. Brent's favorite thing about baseball is when the "game is on the line and you are at bat. Coming see Payton page 9 NCAA Hoops.

In the closing moments of the Davidson game, Kershnefs stick and body saves kept the victory in hand. Other players have also had a major impact on Appalachian's success in the spring. Scott Entrikin has played well on attack by setting rock-solid screens for cutting midfielders and popping free for an occasional quick-stick goal. Strong performances have come from midfielders Ben O'Grady and Forrest Hooper, as well as from freshman defenseman Mike Hurst. Ben Chesnut and Jeff Braun were also major contribu­ tors before falling to season end­ ing injuries. Coach Andy Bagerstock is op­ timistic about the future of Appa­ lachian lacrosse. "With this year's crop of new players and the addition of Ray Cameron to the coaching staff, Appalachian lacrosse is really on the rise," Bagerstock said. "We en­ courage students and staff to come out and support the team." The Mountaineers' remaining home games will be played on Upper Stadium field. The Apps will meet UNC-Wilmington on April 8th at 2:00 p.m. The Duke Blue Devils will invade on April 22, fol­ lowed by Asheville on April 23. he chose to come to Appalachian. Once a player enters college, they are not eligible for the draft again until the end of their sophomore year. "I felt like I was too young to go and I wanted to play Divi­ sion I baseball and my coach at Brevard was always talking about how great Appalachian was," said Payton. "I still hope and plan to play professional ball after I graduate. I would really like to play and I think 1 have a pretty good chance, but if things don't work out, 1 would like to get a job in the crimi­ nal justice field." The way things are going right now, Payton will not need that degree for quite some time and with the wealth of juniors on Appalachian's baseball team, he might just get back to the College World Series after all. Payton continued from page 8 through in that situation and hav­ ing your teammates behind you is a great feeling." Recruited by the pros out of high school, where he played at North Gaston, Payton decided to go to Brevard.

Borkowski, the university's strategic planning commis­ sion, faculty, staff and students will hold a meeting April 5 at 4 p.m. in Farthing Auditorium to discuss budgetary concerns and legislative initiatives being considered in the North Carolina General Assembly. The chairs of the respective task forces involved with the Planning Com­ mission will be on hand to make brief pre­ sentations on their progress. These chairs will include: Dr. Marianne Suggs (Institutional Purposes and Principles), Dr. Don Sink (Institutional Resources and Fiscal Processes), Dr. Bill Harbinson (Institutional Programs and Support Services), and Dr. Mary Reichel (Institutional Technology Applications). According to Bob Snead, execu­ tive assistant to the chancellor, the main purpose of the meeting is to allow the chancellor to address recent concerns over proposed tuition hikes and budget cuts being considered by the General Assem­ bly. McGuire, J'tor-in-Chief 262-6149 Reporter Darby Weaver and Robyn Martin defeated Ray Paschal and Todd Finch in their bid to be the next Student Govern­ ment Association president and vice presi­ dent, Thursday. Weaver and Martin received 55 percent of the vote with 1493. Paschal and Finch had 45 percent of the vote with 1238. Weaver clearly gained the support of off-campus students. She received 65 percent of off-campus votes, with 508, while Paschal received only 35 percent, with 281. The total on-campus vote was closer. Weaver had 985 votes, and Pas­ chal had 957 votes. Weaver commented on her vic­ tory. "It was a result of a lot of hard work, and there is definitely a lot more to come," she said. Paschal commended Weaver and Martin for their efforts. "I think that Darby and Robyn did a good job," he said. "I wish them the best of luck. ...They will be held accountable." Martin said she was really excited about the results. "I'm not sure that it's hit me yet," she said. Finch expressed his disappoint­ ment. "During the runoff the platform ideas were lost ... it became an anti-es­ tablishment issue," he said. 'That con­ cerns me about the future of SGA. I would hope the students would base their deci­ sion on student issues." Weaver said she and Martin will be working with current SGA president and vice president J.D. Adams and Jane Mclntyre to insure a smooth transition. Weaver said former candidates Paul Burleson and Billy Bunting indicated to her that they would like to be involved see Election page 3 Robyn Martin, SGA vice president-elect, tells a friend of the Weaver/ Martin victory. (Photo by Manya Brachear) Rumors have stated that the cuts may range anywhere from 3-6 percent, said Snead. Still others have claimed that there will be no budget cuts at all. "The chancellor feels that it is necessary to answer certain questions and concerns. Many people are very anxious right now, due to the fact that we are pos­ sibly talking about millions and millions of dollars," said Snead. News of budget cuts has come at a time when the North Carolina General Assembly is considering implementing a 3.1 percent tuition increase for the 199596 school year. Nine students attend press conference to oppose diversity report Manya Brachear News Editor "We want to let everyone know that if there will be cuts, we are going to strive to make sure that we keep these cuts as low as possible," said Snead. "We want to make sure that we distribute these cut-" backs in the most humane way, and in a way in which we will be able to maintain the integrity of the university, as well as the entire (UNC) system." Harbinson said that he will present an update on the progress of the Academic Programs and Support Services.

Reporter Talent Search Tonight At Farthing Administrator Michael Hagerty spoke out against the Chancellor's diversity report Monday at a press conference to inform students about the 19-page report. (Photo by Shane Richardson) Two Student Government sena­ tors presented their views on the chancellor's report for diversity Monday at a press conference in front of the ad­ ministration building. Michael Hagerty and Jeff Walton said they were insulted by portions of the report requesting'affirmative action, but most of all insulted by the lack of aware­ ness and knowledge throughout the stu­ dent body about the report. "I do believe students were left out," Hagerty said. "I'm disappointed that J.D. (Adams), SGA president, and Jane (Mclntyre), SGA vice president, were given the report and didn't bring it up (in senate) yet. Students are the blood of the university." Mclntyre said the report will come before senate for discussion next week.

Affirmative action provides women and minorities with equal op­ portunities for employment and promo­ tion in the workplace. If eliminated, em­ ployers would no longer have to pro­ vide preferential treatment to women and minorities when making employ­ ment decisions. The potential loss of affirmative action is something that graduating col­ lege students will have to face.

"It's far too early to tell," said Dr. David Ball, director of Ca­ reer Development. "I wouldn't even begin to speculate on the ef­ fects until the bill actually passed." Among Appalachian se­ niors, opinions are divided on whether the workplace will be bet­ ter off with or without affirma­ tive action. Some strongly believe that the loss of affirmative action would be irrelevant in the search for employment. "It wouldn't bother me a bit," said Shawna Tabor, a senior. "I personally believe that the per- continued from page son best qualified for the job should get it." Others, however, argue that affirmative action is vital in assuring equal opportunity in the workplace. Kathryn Bachmeyer said. "I think they should conduct job interviews from behind a screen using voice adapters. That woulc be the only way to affirm equal op­ portunity employment." "I think we should keep affirmative action," said And Dixon. "It has really given qua fied African-Americans and m norities a chance."

"Anybody who's going to criticize our beliefs should look at the diversity report as a whole," Hagerty said. Nine people including the hosts, attended the conference. Hagerty said he was not surprised, since they did not publicize the press conference on purpose. "A bunch of uneducated people rallying in front of the ad­ ministration building won't accom­ plish anything," Hagerty said. "We're not going head to head with Chancellor Borkowski. We just want to increase awareness." The students still voiced opposition to the report. Jennifer Pugh of Stafford, Va., a concerned student, who helped host the con­ ference said she was offended by the fact she is considered a minor­ ity on campus when there are ac­ tually more women than men.

In IRC there are just as many chan­ nels, or subjects, as News. They fall into the same general categories#sex, #bondage, #beastiality. People would log on and discuss such mat­ ters through the Net with no worries. All of these outlets for sexual frus­ trations and accomplishments came to light because of a young man attend­ ing the University of Michigan. A fre­ quent reader of alt.sex.creative, he posted a story detailing the kidnap­ ping, rape and murder of a young girl. Days later, another UM student read the story and not only recognized the author's name from a class, but also the name and description of the young lady featured in the story. This was after an investigation by the police which uncovered the man's desire to ac­ tually "live" his story. So Sen. Exon is now attempting to restrict the access to such "obscene" ma­ terials. I will not debate the issue of such material's worth to the everyday public. What I will debate is that such people deserve the right to have it heard or read in a context that will not offend others. If you see a title with the word "SEX" in it, then don't read it. It's as simple as that, but evidently not to Sen. Exon. According to the Communications Decency Act, Internet providers \ (such as CompuServe, Prodigy and America Online) would be forced to restrict or forbid access to cer­ tain parts of cyberspace. Fines of up to $100,000 could be im­ posed if walls aren't built. There's only one problem- it's impossible to do so. Given the Net tools of Gopher, Veronica, File Transfer Protocol and telneting, there's always a way to get to your destination. Put it this way. There are hundreds of ways to travel from Los Angeles to New York. Could you imag­ ine blocking every road from California to the Big Apple to prevent someone from getting there? It can't be done. So in essence, current providers would either have to attempt to restrict access or shut down completely. But that's not stopping Exon or the possibility that a Republican Congress will approve of such a measure. In the old days you could just call your senator's office and complain. Now it's the age of the cyber-roots movement. A petition is circulating the Net calling for the dismissal of such legislation. If you're interested in signing it, simply email to S314-petition@netcom.com. In the message area (not the subject area) type "SIGNED <vour e-mail address> vour name YES.

"The myth of the universality of all human rights is harmful if it masks the real gap that exists between Asian and Western perceptions of human dent of the Open Society Fund. "Con­ sensus imposing" would be a better term than "consensus seeking" to describe what has been happening in Asia, says Neier. He continues to say that the West's wealth did not come before its embrace of human rights, but that ac­ tually the two proceeded in tandem. People join in societies and create gov­ ernments to improve themselves, says Neier. Democracy and justice based on human rights are necessary for societies to progress so­ cially, economically and po­ litically. The main reason for promoting human rights worldwide is that intrinsic values are at stake- namely the right of all persons to be free from cruel and arbi­ trary punishment, to be able to express themselves freely and to matter equally regardless of race, ethnicity, religion or gender. Because these fundamental rights define us as human beings, most people will not consent to a de­ nial of such rights except in the face of superior force. Because the view of what consti­ tutes human rights abuses continues to be controversial, the West may be re­ quired to make complex political dis­ tinctions, perhaps refraining from tak­ ing a position on some human rights is­ sues, irrespective of their merits, in or­ der to press others where the prospects for consensus are better. The challenge for East and South­ east Asia will be to devise credible, dis­ tinctive and coherent positions within the parameters of international law on human rights, while the challenge for the West is to couple its desire to press for international adherence to human rights standards with an acknowledg­ ment that many rights are still contested concepts where a consensus of mean­ ing is coupled with conflicts of interpre­ tation. "...the West may be required to make complex political distinctions, perhaps refraining from taking a position on some human rights issues..." rights," says Kausikan. Because the missionary zeal to remake the world in our own image is deeply ingrained in Western (especially American) po­ litical culture, human rights advocates often choose to interpret reality in the way they believe most helps their cause. It is possible that poverty, inse­ curity and instability breed human rights abuses, while wealth creates the stability of Western societies and al­ lows the operation of political institu­ tions that, in less favorable circum­ stances, could lead to disaster. Con­ sequently, as countries in East and Southeast Asia become more prosper­ ous, secure and self-confident, they are moving beyond a purely defensive at­ titude to a more active approach to hu­ man rights.

Don't worry, I never heard of this comic book either. In the year 2033, the world is nearly bone-dry and desolate. Water has become a scarce good ever since a me­ teor crashed into the Earth's surface and made the rain stop. The world is divided into two groups of people, those who have water (the evil department of water) and those who don't (everybody else). Rebecca Buck a.k.a. Tank Girl (played by Lori Petty from "A League of Their Own") is one of the many folks on the short end of the stick. However, Buck's not the kind of chick who gives up, she drives her souped-up tank straight into battle. Her thirst brings her up against an entire army. The head of the militaristic De­ partment of Water (played by Malcolm McDowell) has world domination in his eyes. Seeing as how water is a necessity for all life, his goal is quite possible. So, it's up to Tank Girl and her mutant kan­ garoo friends (led by rap star Ice-T) to nip that goal in the bud. Yes, I did say "mu­ tant kangaroo friends." Don't worry, I didn't understand either. 'Tank Girl" is a strange, but cool movie filmed in the same manner as last year's "Natural Born Killers." Director Rachel Talalay uses bits of animation, crazy camera angles and super fast edit­ ing to bring this nutty film to life. Lori Petty is great as the tank-driv­ ing heroine. She's pretty good-looking (for a punk rocker girl), spunky, tough as nails and extremely funny. Best of all, no matter how hard the bad guys knock her down, she knocks them down even harder. She dispenses more one liners than rounds of ammo. "Tank Girl" is not for all tastes, it's one of those strange science-fiction movies destined for cult status and video collections in college dorms everywhere. This is a great movie for people who are slightly out of it. I had a blast watching this. Those kangaroo guys are really in­ teresting once you get to know them.

App split the doubleheader, winning the first game 9-8 and dropping the second 4-2. Over the weekend the Apps took two of three winning 3-2 and 9-5, but lost 5-3 on Sunday. In the first game on Wednesday, UNCC jumped out to an early 3-0 lead, but Ap­ palachian fought back, scoring two runs in the third and six in the fourth inning to take a 8-5 lead. That lead would be short­ lived as the 49ers came back to tie the game 8-8 in the top of the final inning, but thanks to a lead-off triple by Chris Rodriguez and a sacrifice fly to centerfield by Shane Owenby, the Apps squeaked by 9-8. Starting pitcher Scott Musgrave went half the distance before being relieved by Jason Crews, who went the remainder of the game. Musgrave ana Crews gave up five earned runs on 10 hits. Crews picked up his fourth win of the season moving his record to 4-3 on the year. On the of­ fensive side, Tim Puscian, Scott McDaniel, and Chris Rodriguez all collected three hits as the team combined for 15. In the second game, the Apps offense came to near stop as UNCC starting pitcher Jason Warburton went six innings, giving up only two runs on three hits. The 49ers took a 1-0 lead in the top of the third, but the Mountaineers fought back and took the lead 2-1 in the fourth. Brent Payton collected his team leading sixth homer of the year, hitting a two-run blast, but that would be the end of the App offense. The Mountaineers held on to the lead until the fifth inning, when the 49ers put three runs on the board, to take the final lead of the game. Starting App pitcher Will Reaves had a strong perfor­ mance despite receiving his third loss of the year (1-3). Reaves gave up two earned runs on five hits and struck out three in 5 and 1/3 innings. Matt Russell and Phil Falco combined for the final land 2/3 innings allowing only two hits. The Mountaineers' only offense came from Shane Owenby and Brent Payton, who shared their only three hits. Over the weekend, the Mountaineers journeyed to the wastelands of West Virginia to take on the Thundering Herd. The first game of a doubleheader on Saturday turned out to be a 16-inning marathon that saw five Mountaineer pitchers combine for a 3-2 win. Marshall took a 2-0 lead into the sixth inning when Brent Payton left the park with his seventh homer of the season, see Baseball page 8 Stephen Hensley Assistant Sports Editor ASU Catcher Garret takes a stab at a wild pitch in last weeks action against UNCC (file PhotoI A tale of two track teams Harriers invade Lexington I Lady Apps lose to flu bug In the world of professional baseball, the owners and the players have agrred to kiss, make-up, and play nice as they have ended the strike. The start of the sea­ son has been postponed to late April when teams will begin an abbreviated schedule. But what happens to the replacement players now? They get about $20,000 ter­ mination fee at the end of their engage­ ment to heal their wounds, not bad for a part time job. Furthermore, they get all sorts of cool stuff to wear. Tfip real victims in this situation are the family and friends of the former "ma­ jor" leaguers. For the next couple of months they have to watch tapes of their man making it on Sportscenter as he re­ winds the thing over and over and yells, "That's me, that's me!" Through out the entire season he will let all the guys at the office and at the local bar know in on his inside scoop even when they don't want to hear it. They'll be spouting off anecdotes about the time that one of their foul balls about hit Tommy Lasorda. I think when the two sides ironed out this whole labor thing, no one thought about how annoying these replacement players are going to be when they get back home. They are a menace to the game and they must be stopped for the good of the game. kniJi lifiTTi.ri v, /liio v. j. Perfect ance surrounded the meet.

Lobo has become the latest of a recent line of women's hoopsters to gain big time national noteriety. The tall fiery leader of the Lady Huskies follows Sheryl Swoopes of Texas Tech who recently had a shoe named after her by Nike and Carolina's Charlotte Smith, who has won a national championship and even dunked in a game. With any luck, the NCAA can ride this wave of popularity and put women's bas­ ketball in the position they deserve, out of the side show and into the spotlight. Sport or Not With the summer sports season com­ ing up, a lot of people are becoming more active. However, is your activity of choice really a sport? For instance, waterskiing is very enjoy­ able but it is not a sport. It is essentially being drug on a rope by a boat. Who in­ vented that? However, golf, another fun summer ac­ tivity is a sport. Why? Golf requires gret amounts of practice and coordination. Besides, its on television, and anything good enough to be on tv is a sport. Kayaking is not a sport for a couple ol reasons. First of all, if s too much like raft­ ing and that's not a sport either. Further­ more, kayak is a stupid word. It sounds more like a bird than a boat. Fishing is a sport. That might come as a shock, but fishing is covered by The Ap­ palachian sports page and that makes it a sport. The Blowing Rock Trout Derby was one of the most dramatic sporting events this season and will possibly go down as one of the greatest exhibitions ol fishing ever witnessed, really. Besides, the image of little Opie going fishing with Andy is sweet enough to count on its own �The Appalachian, Tuesday 4 ^pri( Page 8 Baseball making the score 2-1. App scored one more in the eighth to tie the game at 2-2. The next eight in­ nings turned out to be a pitching dual as the Mountaineers scored the winning run when Shane Oweby singled in Brett Berrier in the top of the 16th. Jason Crews started the game for ASU and went 7 and 1/3 in­ nings giving up two runs on eight hits. Phil Falco, Matt Russell, Stephen Maynard, and Steven Fisher combined for the final 8 and 2/3 innings, throwing a shutout on eight hits. Fisher picked up his first win of the year (1-0). Scott McDaniel and Scott Mus&rave led the Apps with two hits apiece. In the second game, the Moun­ taineer bats found the ball again and jumped out to an early 4-0 lead in the first inning, but the Herd fought back to within one at 5-4 heading into the fourth and then did tie the game at 5-5 in the fifth. The Apps pitching then clamped down and their offense put two runs on the board in the final two innings to pick up the 95 win. Rc Fe on en thi mi hr he th W g< d» continued from page 7 Starting pitcher Garth Armstrong only went two innings, giving up four earned runs on six hits, but Phil Falco came on in re­ lief and went the rest of the dis­ tance, only giving up four hits and striking out five. Brent Payton went 3-for-4 and Danny Allard went 2-for-3. Payton and Allard combined for three RBIs and scored two runs apiece to lead the Mountaineer offense. The lone game on Sunday was not as kind to the Apps as the Herd jumped out to a 3-1 lead and never relinquished that lead as they won 5-3. Starting Herd pitcher Thomp­ son threw a complete game, giv­ ing up three runs on eight hits. Scott Musgrave got the loss for the Mountaineers. Chris Rodriguez, Scott McDaniel, and Scott Garrett all had two hits to lead the App offense. Appalachian finished the week at 12-18-1.

Michael Hagerty of Jacksonville and Jeff Walton of Burlington will host a press conference outside the administra­ tion building Monday to voice their op­ position to portions of the report specifi­ cally recommending affirmative action. Hagerty and Walton, chair and vice chair of the Young Republicans, said they think the university should not move against the national trend to eliminate affirmative action. Instead, the schools should follow the trend to keep up with the nation. "(Senator Jesse) Helms and (Speaker of the House Newt) Gingrich have spoken out against it," Hagerty said. "(Presidential candidate Phil) Gramm is running on the removal of affirmative ac­ tion. Why are we bringing it into the school?" The main objections Hagerty and Walton have against the report include words such as 'incentives,' 'bonuses' and 'special.' "The word 'special' makes me shiver," Hagerty said. Hagerty and Walton also object to the narrow target of the re­ port. "The report is not concentrating on the students as a whole," Hagerty said. "If you really want to make this campus diverse you have to look at everything as a whole." Specific portions of the report with which they disagree target minority groups. They include: •Providing, encouraging and re­ warding training opportunities to assist those seeking career advancement. •Actively seek out women coaches and staff for women's and men's sports teams. •Encourage faculty and staff to provide support for students who are...members of other traditionally underrepresented groups.

"I think there should be many stepping stones, but for everyone," Hagerty said. Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski said he distributed the report widely in the fall to gain as much feedback as pos- Walton sible. Since then, federal and state bud­ get cuts have prevented him from pro­ cessing the results which he had hoped to have done by last Friday's Board of Trust­ ees meeting. He now hopes to have a pre­ liminary draft done by the June meeting. "Many people took time to write very constructive comments on the re­ port," Borkowski said. Jeff Reid, a student intern in the admissions office, is currently tabulating the majority of concerns that have come in. He said most concerns revolve around the definition of diversity, whether it deals with black and white issues or multiculturalism. .. see Diversity page 4 Parking deck may be on the way Allison Penned Reporter Hayes, Seay, Mattern and Mattern have been selected to study the feasibility of a parking deck at Appalachian State University. The preselection committee that chose the firm consisted of members of the traffic committee who wanted to par­ ticipate and other representatives at Ap­ palachian State University. The preselection committee thought the firm was most qualified for the job because of their experience with designing parking decks. Vice Chancellor of Business Affairs Jane Helm said the construction of a deck is not definite yet, but one is likely. "Hayes, Seay, Mattern and Mattern will be coming to Appalachian State University soon," Helm said. "We hope they will come before school is out so they can see the magnitude of the prob­ lem." Helm said she thought it was too early to be able to say much about the possible site or cost for the parking solu­ tion. She said that the upper stadium area may be a possible site, but the firm will be looking at the entire campus to see what is available and to see what the needs are. Action in danger United States senators are ob­ serving National Women's month in a very different way. Women, who have gradually been brought into the workplace dur­ ing the last half century, may no longer be provided jobs simply because of their gender. In the coming months, Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole will introduce legislation to either partially or com­ pletely eliminate federally sponsored af­ firmative action. Affirmative action is defined as action taken to provide equal opportu­ nity in the workplace. Disadvantaged groups such as women and minorities have been provided jobs as well as ad­ vancement opportunities through affir­ mative action. If Dole has his way, affirmative action will be eliminated from the American workplace altogether. Through affirmative action, em­ ployers are given a quota of how many women or minorities they must hire. Quotas are only enforced on employers who fail to meet such guidelines. Here at Appalachian, no such quotas are in place. According to Equal Opportunities Director Dr. Richard Howe, Appalachian chooses its employ­ ees on the basis of experience and quali­ fication. These principles are reinforced in the university's affirmative action plan, which specifies that "decisions on employment are based so as to further the principle of equal employment op­ portunity." At present, university officials are developing a proposal to further equality here at Appalachian. University Representative Jeff Reid is currently evaluating responses to the proposal submitted last year. "Reactions are varied, but most agree that diversity is extremely impor­ tant in an institution of higher learning," said Reid. "The two biggest concerns are see Action page 2 Students bring in spring with a brief fling Reporter spends day jousting, jumping, and joshing at events sponsored byAPPS and SGA Ken Larking Reporter My day at "Spring Fling" included com­ peting in the "Human Fly" with off-cam­ pus Senator Samantha Smith, jousting with Boone Town Councilman Hunter Schofield and also with SGA vice presi­ dential candidate Todd Finch, and of course, eating plenty of barbecue. The "Human Fly" is a contest where people try to attach themselves to a wall by wearing a Velcro body suit. Samantha Smith expressed her feelings about her performance. "I am a little disappointed," she said. "I am going to hit the track, and try again next time it's here." According to Terry Combs, an official at the event, the goal in "Sumo Wrestling" is to shove your competitor out of the ring, or knock him down. David Generous, a freshman geology major, and Chad Edwards, also a fresh­ man, dueled each other in the "Sumo Wrestling" competition. Generous said, "It's harder than it looks." Edwards added, "It's kind of like two upright turtles fighting." The jousting competition is an event where competitors attempt to knock the other off a pylon with a long pole.

"I'm absolutely against it," said Dr. Melissa Barth, director of Women's Concerns and Women's Studies. "If equity in the workplace is achieved, then there would be no need for affirmative action. Un­ fortunately, this is not the case. It's easy for congressmen who work in a non-discriminatory job to say that discrimination is over."

"That must be done before anything else," Reid said. Hagerty and Walton do agree with goals along with many others diversifying strategies on the report. Hagerty said emphasiz­ ing diverse course offerings and degree programs to diversify the curriculum is indeed crucial. 'The history books need to include more than white males," Hagerty said. He also agrees with Borkowski that the university needs to diversify but doesn't agree with the methodology. "If they make this (the re­ port) applicable to everybody, they'll hit the target," Hagerty said.

Jay Marlowe Columnist This is the first article of two concerning human rights. The second article will run in next Tuesday's issue of The Appalachian. Should a commitment to human rights be a central principle of foreign policy, or should for­ eign policy avoid idealism when it conflicts with the national interest? Since few people argue for an absolutist stance on either position, the debate is one of emphasis, or priority. The realist argu­ ment is that a country faced with enemies in an armed and dangerous world cannot afford to be idealist, while idealists reject the idea that moral­ ity and national interest are incompatible. They contend that the United States and others are best served by setting high standards of international conduct, thus making U.S. leadership attractive to the people of the world.

Production Department 262-6256 �The Appalachian, Thursday March 30 1995 inion Faculty responds to proposed Quinn fee Ruth Ann Strickland and Zaphon Wilson Guest Columnists We were invited to write a response to the question: should faculty at ASU pay an annual fee for support of campus facilities such as the Quinn Center and swimming pool? A knee-jerk response might be: "Sure, if people use the facilities, they ought to pay for them." Then, a second reaction might be: "Really?" As usual, gut reactions can be swift and inaccurate. Let's ask another question: At a time when university faculty acros; North Carolina are being asked to do more for less (such as: (1) a pro­ posed increase in teaching load now under consideration in the N.C. General Assembly; (2) the General Administration's recent mandate that all non-tenured faculty, teaching assistants and now part-time faculty undergo peer evaluationthereby putting more faculty time and energy into examining some­ one else's teaching and not their own; (3) the proposed university cuts, which will probably translate into fewer faculty positions, also under consideration in the N.C. General Assembly and (4) the ever-linear increase in committee ductible would be raised from $150 a year to $500. The health insur­ ance premiums for faculty with spouses and children also rose. Faculty don't get raises commensurate with inflation. Faculty pay to park on campus. Many faculty pay for their own personal computers. When job candidates are invited on campus, faculty are not reim­ bursed for taking them out to lunch or dinner (almost unheard of in the business world with its expense accounts). There are even faculty who pay for what would be considered standard oper­ ating expenses in any other business, such as mailing and copy­ ing costs. And by the way, faculty pay taxes which support this university and other universities in the system and nu­ merous faculty pay monies into the Appalachian Fund (which often provides scholarships to needy and worthy ASU students). In other words, faculty pay, pay and pay already and we're sick, sick, sick of it. In any other business setting, profes­ sionals receive what is commonly called "fringe benefits." These fringe benefits are part of the overall package used to attract the highest quality employees. Often, the keys to the "company" health club, access to day care for chil­ dren, company-sponsored health care plans, com­ pany cars, and so on are dangled in front of the potential employee as a lure- "come work for us and we'll treat you right." In this attempt to at—————— tract the most meritorious workers, the Fortune 500 companies don't normally ask employees to pay for their fringe benefits. In other words, they ask: "what can we do to attract you- you wonderful bright person- who has so much to offer us?" They don't typically ask: "what are you going to give us- you slob, you piece of chopped liver- so you can work for us?" One professor in the economics department stated that the faculty fee for use of campus support facilities is comparable to the tax col- Second,these COntri, "If students are concerned about tuition... why don't they attack the source of tuition hikes and lack of support for academic programs- their state legislators?"

It is ironic (or perhaps just part of a general trend) that faculty are now being asked to pay for the campus support facilities that they en­ joy. A few years ago, faculty were told that their health insurance de­ lected on gas that goes to fund road work. Let's correct a misperc that this analogy might create.

Ms. April Farwell in her letter to the editor ("Faculty should paj fee," March 23) pointed out that "our faculty is extremely underpaid• Knowing that ASU faculty receive among the lowest salaries in the UNf system, why would anyone want to add insult to injury by suggesti yet another diminishment in faculty benefits? If students are concerned about tuition and support of academic programs at ASU, why dont they attack the source of tuition hikes and lack of support for academic programs- their state legislators? The monies generated from a fee on faculty who use campus support facilities will probably be minimal and will not address the root problem which is a general lack of societal support for education and educational advancement. (We suggest that see Quinn fee pagefl Editor's note: In the interest of fairness, today's Letters to the Editor consists of all the endorsements received by The Appalachian (excluding those previously printed). SGA presidential candidate endorsements keep rolling in To the Editor: First of all, I would like to ex­ press my thanks to those students who voted in the recent SGA elec­ tion. From the beginning of this campaign, Billy and I committed ourselves to making sure that the students of ASU have the oppor­ tunity to make an informed deci­ sion about the future of their uni­ versity, and to get it through to the students that they have a voice on this campus. That voice was heard. The students have shown that they want a change. Some supported a change with Billy and myself, and some with Darby and Robyn, but the under­ lying voice was the same. Now, with the election runoff between Paschal/Finch and Weaver/Mar­ tin, we urge those who supported change to band together to achieve it; to band together in support of Darby Weaver and Robyn Martin. Darby and Robyn continually ran a clean and fair campaign, showing professional courtesy at every turn, representing what we feel that SGA needs. The Student Government Association is char­ tered to be a fair and equal rep­ resentation of the students of ASU. A representation which does not show partiality, but one of integrity, truth, and under­ standing for all members of the Appalachian State University community. With these things in mind, Billy and I wholeheartedly endorse and support Darby Weaver and Robyn Martin for the positions of SGA president and vice president. Paul Burleson ASU Box 18706 To the Editor: On Wednesday and Thursday the student body will make one of the most important decisions affecting us next year. They will vote for the president and vice president of our student government in a runoff election. I hope, for the future of our uni­ versity, students will elect Ray Paschal and Todd Finch to these positions. Both of these candidates have experience in Appalachian's stu­ dent government, as well as in­ volvement in other areas of cam­ pus. I have had the opportunity to work with both of them, and I have no doubt that they will work entirely for the students. Their commitment to the university and their desire to see Appalachian move forward should impress ev­ ery student. Each of these candidates has proven that they care about stu­ dent concerns and issues. Their platform covers issues from the li­ brary to food services, to even es­ tablishing campus clean-up days. All of these ideas have been researched and are possible. The only way to get these goals and ideas accomplished is to let your voice be heard and elect Paschal and Finch in the runoff election. George Teague Concerned Student ASU Box 13272 which is something other than Pashcal/Finch! Also, I feel that your paper has no business endorsing a particu­ lar candidate, because the Appa­ lachian is a student body newspa­ per and should represent all of the students' concerns (not just the staff's). If you print something I disagree with, there is no alternate publication to buy in your stead, and I can't decide not to buy the newspaper because it's free. I feel your coverage is poor, biased to an extreme, unprofessional, and with­ out an iota of integrity. Due to your recent coverage, myself and at least a dozen people I know have vocally cursed The Appalachian, and I am retiring from reading your publication ... in addition I am encouraging my friends and colleagues to do the same, in effect creating a de facto boycott of The Appalachian until a public apology to the student body is issued. To the Editor: Hard work, dedication, moti­ vation, leadership and experience; these are all the qualities that the next president and vice president of SGA must hold. I feel that in order to assure that these qualities are met, we, as a student body, must elect Ray Paschal and Todd Finch. Their unparalleled experi­ ence and unmatched leadership will give ASU the boost that it takes to move all of us in the right di­ rection. Jessica Edens Panhellenic Council President ASU Box 11893 To the Editor: I have two items I would like to address: I support Darby Weaver and Robyn Martin in the SGA election. Their platform is praiseworthy and they would make exemplary stu­ dent representatives. They are exactly what this campus needs, and I shudder to think if Paschal/ Finch are victorious... it is indeed time for a change. Hopefully, with the voters of Burleson and Bunting supporting Darby and Robyn, the students will get what they want, Ben O'Grady ASU Box 08692 To the Editor: After hearing both Weaver/ Martin and Paschal/Finch speak, I was content with the Paschal/ Finch ticket. Not only did I find their platform innovative and fea­ sible, but they listened to the con­ cerns and ideas of the students. Cliff Fitte ASU Athlete (Football) ASU Box 11675 To the Editor: Think of all the things SGA does for our students. Homecom­ ing, recycling, Mountaineer Escort, and "Into the Streets" are only a few. As a student leader I know the hard work it takes to make stu­ dent programs like these work. Ray Paschal and Todd Finch are the only candidates who also un­ derstand the work behind these programs. There is no doubt in my mind that both tickets care about voicing student concerns and will do just that if elected. There is only ONE ticket though, that can get the work SGA is responsible for done- Ray Pas­ chal and Todd Finch. I would hate to see events and programs as vi­ tal to Appalachian as Homecom­ ing and Mountaineer Escort be less than they have been for lack of experience in SGA. This goes for other programs as well. Ray and Todd understand what their job would be if elected and know how to do that job well. This is something I cannot say for any other ticket. Holly Kirksey Club Council Coordinator ASU Box 17722 To the Editor: An effective leader is someone who is knowledgeable of the group charge, has experience, can speak and listen well, and can maintain good rapport with peers and men­ tors. Ray Paschal is undoubtedly meeting these qualifications and surpassing them. ASU has a sound history of strong SGA leaders and I have no doubt that the Paschal/ Finch ticket will continue to up­ hold these ideals. Meg Dyar Delta Zeta Officer ASU Box 10968 To the Editor: The following people have announced their support and en­ dorsement of the Weaver/Martin presidential and vice presidential campaign: Thomas Bennet- President of the Adult Student Network Brandi Duckworth- President of the North Carolina Association of Educators D. Kirk Hewitt- President of Playcrafters Charlotte Lyons- President of Stu­ dents ActivelyVolunteering for the Environment Robin Mulholland- Student Asso­ ciation of Social Workers Submitted by Samantha Smith ASU Box 10118 To the Editor: Ray Paschal and Todd Finch are the most qualified ticket for SGA president/vice president. Ray has been involved with SGA for three years already. In addi­ tion to this he has served on sev­ eral university committees, been Chairperson of the Community Relations Board, an orientation leader and been extremely active in the UNC Association of Student Government. He has received en­ dorsements not just from Appala­ chian leaders, but from leaders across the state. Ray has also been responsible for the tuition-on-installment plan, and organized the largest voter registration drive in Wa­ tauga. Todd Finch has experience as a senator, served on several uni­ versity committees, is a delegate to the UNC-AS G, and is in more honor societies than I knew ex­ isted. Todd has worked very hard this semester to get the library hours extended, which will begin soon. As for the issue of diversity, Ray and Todd are going to estab­ lish a cabinet position to deal di­ rectly with that issue. Ray and Todd not only have the experience to be ASU's SGA president and vice-president, they have earned it through their hard work and dedication to the students of ASU. Tim Gray Mountaineer Escort Director ASU Box 16097 To the Editor: As the elections for next year's president and vice president are upon us I believe there are two candidates that can successfully lead the SGA for the students- Ray Paschal and Todd Finch. Ray and Todd have invaluable leadership skills and experience. Their campaign platform is full of realistic goals that reflect concerns for all students. Ray has been a part of the SGA cabinet for sev­ eral years and was instrumental in establishing the tuition-on-installment plan. Todd has also been very active in SGA as a sena­ tor for a number of years. Their experience reflects the desire to serve and lead the students.

Leon Lewis Department of English To the Editor: The chancellor's diversity re­ port is one interesting document. Hopefully everyone here at Appa­ lachian understands the need for a diverse campus, however, this is not the way to do it. This proposal starts off by stating that our uni­ versity must be fair and equitable. I agree with that statement. All Appalachian policies and pro­ grams should be color blind.

We've been faculty at ASU for Be time. Being able to train, work out, swim, and go to aerobics as well as engage in other health and leisure activities is a tremen­ dous booster. These programs boost morale and health of faculty, making it easier for us to face an­ other day and to deliver our best inside and outside of the class­ room. In general, fringe benefits such as the health and leisure pro­ grams increase quality of life and job satisfaction. We have col­ leagues who work harder because they can play harder. We have colleagues with sharper minds in the classroom because their bod- ies are healthy. We wonder whether this petty desire to inflict more costs on faculty (who are al­ ready operating under cost con­ straints) is worthwhile. Clearly, we think it is not. This movement toward levy­ ing more costs on faculty is not an expression of appreciation; on the contrary, it's an open expression of hostility. Other interested parties in levying a fee on faculty should ask more questions- in short, think! It is just possible that a truly deliberative and thoughtful policy might result. v< Creatures Mb MMMtt mm took out the "special" things in the proposal I believe we could still diversify the campus.

The three writers will be displaying and discussing the African American influence on the arts in the Ap­ palachian region.

They only scored two more runs in top of the seventh, drawing the score to 11-5. Once again the Hokies exploded offen­ sively, scoring one run in the seventh and eight in the eighth to finish the trouncing at 22-5. App pitcher Larry Taylor gave up the final nine runs on 11 hits and one walk. This was a game of missed opportu­ nities, said ASU head baseball coach James Morris. "We should have gone into the final inning tied, but we did not play well defensively. Most of their runs came in three big innings, all of which we could have come out much better but we missed a couple of fly balls and allowed them to take control." The Mountaineer highlights in this game were not too plentiful. Scott Musgrave went 2-for-3 with a walk and Scott Garrett hit a two-run blast, his third of the year. App starting pitcher Garth Armstrong was charged with the loss, moving his record to an unrepresentative 2-4. Denny Wagner (2-0) picked up the win for the Hokies. "This game doesn't take anything away from the team, said coach Morris. "I still have every confidence in the team's abili­ ties, this kind of thing just happens once in a while." The Apps will play North CarolinaCharlotte (15-10) in a doubleheader at Red Lackey Field on Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. The team will then travel to Huntington, WVa. this weekend to face Marshall (7-19 overall, 5-7 conf.) in a doubleheader on Saturday and a lone matinee on Sunday.

Appalachian State's women's basket­ ball team has won at least nineteen games in each of the last two seasons. In the last ten years, ASU has ventured into the NCAA toumey twice (1990 against Mary­ land, and in '91 versus Florida State) and to the Women's National Invitational Tournament (1987). Despite falling to East Tennessee State in the Southern Con­ ference tournament over spring break, Coach Linda Robinson's Lady Mountain­ eers are probably one of the best college sports teams you never heard of—and most of you haven't heard, if the Moun­ taineers' 400-plus home game attendance is any indication. It's strange that a team which perenially approaches twenty wins does not attract more support from its class­ mates and community. The men's 199495 edition regularly drew fans who were, if not packed to the top of Varsity Gym, at least numerous enough to make their presence felt and heard. The guys may not have fulfilled every pre-season expec­ tation, but records aside, their season can hardly be dubbed a disappointment. And it's largely because of the fans. Can you imagine Duke's Cameron Crazies deserting their Devils? It didn't happen this year, even as the Dookies crafted a "sub-par" season. A half-filled Smith Center? Bobby Knight coaching his Hoosiers before a crowd of, say, one thou­ sand? The spotlight on women's ball has brightened in the last year or three. It's difficult to tell if the extra attention is the result of better play, more exposure, or any combination of other, unknown fac­ tors. What is unquestionable is that these talented women deserve more of an au­ dience, or at least the opportunity to gather it. The unbeaten UConn Lady Hus­ kies are as formidable as the UNLV teams of the early 90's seemed. Not that any­ one could tell from looking. Looking hasn't even been an option: prior to the NCAA tourney, no women's team had ap­ peared on national television more than twice. Take note of a few weird little discrep­ ancies. Why is the men's Final Four played on Saturday and Monday, while the la­ dies are resigned to compete on two straight days for the last games of the sea­ son? A free day to build-up the women's championship might help forge more sup­ port. Why is it that nary a station even men­ tions the scores for some of these games? If there's to be no highlights, the final count would be some solace, anyway. Women's ball is not, as one USA To­ day reader wrote, "just less exciting than men's." If you believe this, maybe you should rethink your definition of "excit­ ing"—and consider the word "variety." Now THAT'S exciting. he long road to the Final Four "SIC Akram Barghothi Sports Editor North Carolina Tarheels are making their 21st straight Tee in the NCAA tournament, the longest streak in tTiis year's trip to the Final Four is the 12th for North second only to West regional champion UCLA with *ie semi-finals, Carolina will be matched up against ^ champions Arkansas.

Under Naismith National Coach of the Year Jim Harrick, the Bruins have compiled a 29-2 record and entered the tournament as the number one seed in the Western region.

In fact, each starter has been the leading indi­ vidual scorer of a game at least twice. First team All- American Jerrv Stackhouse leads the way for the Heels chippingpn 19.2 points per game. Stackhoyse's 70 points in the tournament thus far have lofted his career total to i062 points. He is the third fastest to reach this total in Carolina history behind only J. R. Reid and Michael Jordan. j Wg JS[ jHf Rasheed Wallace with 16.8 points a game is getting things done on the other end for the Tarheels as well. Wallace had 89 blocks this season, setting a new Carolina record and surpassing Warren Martin's old record of 81. The key for the Tarheels this weekend will be rebounding. Caro­ lina has only outrebounded their opposition in 18-33 games this sea­ son. With three other teams in the Final Four having dominant big men, this will be of utmost importance.

Though Arkansas is no stranger to the Final Four this is the first trip for the Razorbacks to Seattle. Arkansas has never played a basket­ ball game in Seattle. In fact, they have never played in the state of Washington. |? . •>. A > Arkansas' fame against North Carolina will be their 38th game of the season. The Razorbacks have complied a mark of 31-6 over the course of the season. They have more No. 1 victories than any other team in college basketball. Arkansas' impressive record includes 14 games that were decided by five or fewer points. Three of these games have gone to overtime. The game against Syracuse and Memphis were overtime contest played on Arkansas' way to becoming Midwest regional Champs. Player has come from the play of senior Ed O'Bannon. O'Bannon has averaged over 20 points a game this season to go along with 8.1 rebounds. His three point field goal percentage of 45.8 makes him a threat from any­ where on the court. Joining O'Bannon in the Bruin attack is point guard lyus Edney. Edney, a top candidate for the Francis Pomeroy Naismith Award as the best player in the nation under six foot, leads the Bruins with seven assists and 2.5 steals per game. UCLA will depend on some youthful talent to help their stars in the Final Four. Sophomore Charles O'Bannon, little brother of Ed, is averaging 13.5 points a game and leads the Bruins with 36 blocks this season. Freshmen Toby Bailey and J.R. Henderson have made a big splash with the team, scoring 10.3 and 9.7 points a game respectively. 30 63 247 95 27 37 31 8 7 4 SUITS a La Carte Did you know SIC* . vVv K*- Am Rentals Available UP!

David Goodman is a freshman on the Appalachian golf team, but you would never know by looking at his scores this year Not only has he made a contri­ bution to the team this year; he has led the team in scor­ ing on three different occa­ sions, the last time was in the teams tournament at Furman. Goodman is no stranger to success on the golf course. He has played com­ petitively since he was in the eighth grade. "I played in some national tour­ naments when I was younger," said Goodman. Goodman got a real taste of success when he played on his Salisbury High School team. Salisbury won two 3-A state cham­ pionships, and was runner-up an­ other year, during Goodman's gling. This situation is magnified by the fact that he made the move from a very successful high school program. "It's frustrating," said Goodman. "I know we are capable of so much more. We have a lot of good players on the team but when we get to a tournament.... It's frustrating." One thing is for sure. Goodman is a team player. He does have some indi­ vidual goals, though. "I would like to be a pretty good college player by the time I graduate," said Goodman. By a "good col­ lege player," he means - David Goodman someone who can consis­ tently shoot 75 ani under As for the remainder of his Boone, Goodman is happy with his freshman year Goodman said, "I decision to come to Appalachian. "I love playing up here. I like would like to finish in the top ten all the guys on the team a lot," said in our next tournament and in the conference." Goodman. However, he is very open about The only problem that he has run into since coming to ASU is the fact that the team is more im­ dealing with the frustration of portant than he as an individual playing for a team that is strug- is. "I hope that our teams get bet­ ter as I become a sophomore, jun­ ior and senior,"he said. "I remem­ ber how much fun we had in high school. I would love to see the team improve, even more than I would like to see myself improve." As for Goodman's game, he says that it is solid. He hits the bail straight and long and has a good short game. With that com­ bination there is no telling how far his game can go. fourth stint in high school. Goodman said that he chose Appalachian for "a bunch of rea­ sons. I love the mountains, and I knew that I could play golf up here and that is something I really wanted to do."

Tiffany Lohman Assistant News Editor Presidential and Vice-Presi­ dential Candidates Darby Weaver and Robyn Martin say that they stand on their issues and not their gender. Weaver and Martin did, X 34% 42.8% however, bring up the gender issue at speeches they gave at two sorority meet­ ings. Weaver said, "We mentioned it (the gender issue) at sororities because we thought it was an issue for women." WeaVer and Martin spoke at the Delta Zeta weekly meeting on March 13. According to Jenni Black, a Delta Zeta in attendance, the gender is­ sue was brought up by the ticket. "It didn't bother me,' said Black. "I wouldn't use that (the gender issue) as a basis for my vote." According to Jennifer Ramsey, I Kappa Delta, Weaver and Martin also spoke about the gender issue at a weekly Kappa Delta sorority meeting. "I think it should be based on who's most qualified for the job," said Ramsey. Ramsey also said that Weaver and Martin claimed that they would be the first president and vice president that were women. According to past Student Gov­ ernment Association records, Weaver and Marti n would be the fifth all-women ticket since 1938 if they were elected to represent students in SGA. "It is interesting that gender is not an issue when the candidates are all men," said Pam Williamson, chair­ person of the Boone area chapter of the National Organization of Women. "Gen­ der is only an issue when women run." Williamson also said that women can bring a unique perspective to government, and that the issue should be platforms and not gender.

Appalachian student Daniel Wil­ son Berry, 20, of Winston-Salem, died instandy when he was thrown from his 1975 Corvette convertible during a head-on collision on U.S. 105, March 15. N.C. State Trooper Sgt. David Searcy estimated Berry was travelling at a speed of more than 100 mph. Dr. Brent Hall, Watauga County pathologist, said a toxicology test revealed cocaine and THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, in Berry's system at the time of his death. Berry died of a closed head injury, Hall said. Brandon Cole, a friend of Berry's, said Berry was always a charismatic indi­ vidual. "He loved life and wanted to live it to the fullest," Cole said. "Sometimes it was too full." The two passengers in the car, Laura Clayton and Matos were also thrown from the car and airlifted to Bap­ tist where they remained critical until Thursday when Clayton was upgraded to See Victim page 2 Former Student Government Association Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates Paul Burleson and Billy Bunting have formally en­ dorsed the ticket of Darby Weaver and Robyn Martin in this week's run­ off election. Burleson said the turnout in ast week's election for his ticket as well as Weaver and Martin's voiced the students' desire for change. "The student have shown that they want a change," Burleson said in a written endorsement. "Some supported a change with Billy and myself, and some with Darby and Robyn, but the underlying voice was the same." Burleson encouraged stu­ dents who voted for his ticket to vote for Weaver and Martin in the run-off election. He wrote the two women showed "professional courtesy at ev­ ery turn, representing what we feel that SGA needs." Burleson said Weaver and Martin ran a clean campaign. SGA Elections Chair Sean Coggin said Weaver and Martin's campaign did have financial viola­ tions. Coggin said the ticket failed to submit receipt(s) 24 hours in advance of using new campaign stickers. The elections committee sent a written reprimand to the ticket this morning prohibiting Weaver and Martin from using the stickers within 24 hours of the elections committee receiving the receipt. If Weaver and Martin do not turn in the receipt by 2:30 p.m. to­ day, they will disqualify themselves from the election. Cassie Wright, a former member of Burleson and Bunting's campaign committee, said she now supports Ray Paschal and Todd Finch because of the similarities in their platform and their "experience and dedication." "Ray Paschal and Todd Finch and more open to the concerns of the whole student body rather than an exclusive section," said Wright in her written endorsement. Wright said Burleson and Bunting did offer her the opportunity to endorse Weaver and Martin. How­ ever, she said, she could not find enough platform items with which she agreed. "I'm Greek so I have differ­ ent views than Darby and Robyn," Wright said. "They're the ones who kept bringing up ACES (the Appala­ chian Community and Environmen­ tal Stewardship) in senate and I'm strongly against that." published with support from Appalachian's Center for Student Involvement and Leadership.

This year is the first year in which The Appalachian has devoted a full page solely to reader opinion and letters. Each Thurs­ day (we would like it to run every paper, but are limited by ad revenue and the volume of letters), The Appalachian runs an Opinion page in which it prints virtu­ ally every Letter to the Editor received. The Appalachian goes to great lengths to ensure a well-balanced page. This in­ cludes soliciting articles from supporters from both sides of an issue (ACES) and letters from each candidate (SGA elec­ tion). However, it is the letters from our readers who ultimately dictate the com­ position of the Opinion page. We encour­ age our readers to send letters to the edi­ tor, whether they are stances on issues or endorsements for political candidates. We will print them. The Opinion page is there to be the voice of our readers; it is up to those individuals to utilize it. We challenge the students to look at the facts and create their own opinion. A great philosopher once said that it is a true test of one's self to hold in each hand an opposing side, and still retain the ability to function. Those views expressed by our readers on the Opinion page are their own, just as The Appalachian's staff edi­ torial is merely the opinion and viewpoint of 13 individuals, not the end-all say-all that many make it out to be.

He would tell his followers, "The white man wants black men to stay im­ moral, unclean, and ignorant. As long as we stay in these conditions we will keep on begging him and he will control us. We can never win freedom and justice and equality until we are doing something for ourselves!"

To say anything different would be, well, lazy. Endorsements for candidates pour in Paschal/Finch are "doers & motivators" To the Editor: Ray Paschal and Todd Finch are two fine young men with the qualifications and experience needed to uphold the position of SGA president and vice president. Their platform clearly addresses all areas of stu­ dent concerns. We compassionately be­ lieve that Paschal and Finch have the de­ termination, motivation, and organization to fulfill the presidency. We have complete confidence in Ray and Todd because they have proven them­ selves as leaders with experience. They have realistic goals that can be achieved here at Appalachian State University. Once again, Ray and Todd are superior candidates for president and vice presi­ dent. Rhonda Beard President/Criminal Justice Club, Senior Committee ASU Box 10752 Shami Chandra Secretary/Criminal Justice Club, Club Council Advisory Board ASU Box 11865 To the Editor: As a first year senator to the Student Government Association I have tried to look for those who I feel are the doers and motivators to help encourage me to fur­ ther myself as a representative. Within my first two senate meetings it was al­ ready becoming apparent who held a con­ fident voice in SGA. Upon my first time meeting Ray Paschal he encouraged me to take stands and speak out for what I believe in as a representative of the stu­ dent body. Todd Finch as well has been as equally supportive in encouraging me to strengthen my voice as a senator. As a newcomer to the senate as well as to the school, I have needed people to look up to, to help me decide what goals I want to set for myself as a representative, but more importantly, as an individual. Both Ray and Todd are more than qualified for the positions they seek and I personally see that both are personally dedicated to furthering Appalachian State University. If Ray and Todd are not victo­ rious in the upcoming election it would not be a personal loss to Ray and Todd, but would be an enormous loss to Appa­ lachian. Jason Yepko SGA Senator ASU Box 08842 Weaver/Martin stand for change, diversity To the Editor: I am an African-American student that wants to be accepted on this campus. I want to have all the rights as everyone else. I have had long discussions with Weaver and Martin about views on diver­ sity. Weaver and Martin listen to ideas from students about ways of increasing diversity. I want a president that I can go to when I feel that I have been treated wrongly. I like to feel wanted as a fellow student with ideas and not as a token black on campus. I support Weaver and Martin in all the aspects of their campaign. Weaver and Martin are just what ASU is in need of to make a change in the school for the bet­ ter. Don't be a fool, vote Weaver and Martin. I guarantee that you will have a sound voice on campus. Brandi Cody BSA Advisory Board Member ASU Box 14254 Write The Appalachian at ASU Box 9025 To the Editor: As leader of the College Democrats and an active member of the student sen­ ate, I, Thomas Flippin, endorse Darby Weaver and Robyn Martin for president and vice president of student government. To hold this position one must have superior leadership qualities and excellent public speaking ability. Weaver and Mar­ tin have displayed that they are head and shoulders above their competition in these categories. This Wednesday and Thursday I sin­ cerely urge everyone to vote for a change on this campus. We must ban together to elect the best candidates- Darby Weaver and Robyn Martin. Thomas Flippin ASU Box 18594 Editor's Note: It is not usually the policy of The Appalachian to print reader letters on our Editorial page. Those are reserved to run on our Opinion page which appears every Thursday. However due to the flood of letters received endorsing candidates we have made an exception.

(Photo by Shane Richardson.) bility to go to my brothers and sisters and Angie Brady Is it just me or have comedies taken a severe nosedive in recent years? Every other comedy that comes out seems to strive to be as disgusting and imma­ ture as it can possibly be. The latest dreck in this series of mishaps is "Major Payne" (PG-13), a new version of "Stripes" directed at grade school kids. Damon Wayans (from television's "In Living Color") stars as the tide char­ acter, an oddly sadistic ex-Marine turned JROTC trainer. What is Major Payne like? Imagine if Steve Urkel ("Family Matters") joined the Marines, went gung-ho ballis­ tic, enjoyed torturing and killing people, had two gold front teeth and loved clean­ ing his pistol blindfolded. He's really weird. Payne is booted out of the Ma­ rines because there are no more missions left. Everyone who needs to be killed is already dead. So Payne reluctantly takes on the job of training a bunch of lazy, mis­ fit cadets in a JROTC program. He turns the military school into a torturous hell that Paris Island graduates would fear. "Major Payne" is so unbelievably awful that it makes me feel bad for trash­ ing "Dumb and Dumber." Compared to this dredge, the Jim Carrey movie is up there with "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." The main running joke in the movie is the word "turd," an obnoxious gutter word for you-know- what. Another wonderful example of the "humor" used in this movie is the way Payne picks on some of his pupils. I'm not into the silly politically correct sensi­ tivity movement, but making fun of deaf and blind kids is pushing the envelope a tad too far.

The Mountaineers began their home stand on Wednesday with a doubleheader against UNC-Asheville. In the top of the first inning, ASU pitcher Will Reeves gave up 1 run off 2 hits and an error. From that point on, however, the Bulldogs faced a black wall of pitching and defense and a golden onslaught of hitting. In the bottom of the first, ASU leadoff batter Scott McDaniel began the dam­ age by rounding the bases on a triple and a UNC-A error. The next four batters reached base and eventually scored. In all, 14 Mountaineers stepped to the plate in the first inning, scoring 10 runs on 7 hits and 2 Bulldog errors. Reeves settled into his game in the sec­ ond and third innings, giving up no runs on no hits and striking out one. Then in the bottom of the fourth, the ASU squad picked up where it left off with 5 runs on 5 hits, sparked by Shane Owenby's leadoff ground-rule double over the left field fence. Stephen Maynard and Scott Musgrave came in for relief and combined to hold Asheville to no runs on two hits in 4 innings. They were helped by solid ASU defense, including a diving snag by short­ stop Michael Berrier in the fifth inning. The Mountaineers whipped the Bulldogs 15-1. Good pitching and defense were again the story for the second game of the Rc Fe on en thi mi m< lir he th W g< d< m ui tr a: A i tennis goes 1-1 doubleheader, although Ap­ palachian decided to have some mercy on the Bulldog pitchers. Sophomore Larry Taylor pitched five scoreless innings for the Mountaineers, giving up three hits and strik­ ing out two batters. Designated hitter David Young took over on the offen­ sive side. He went 2 for 3 with a sacrifice fly and 2 RBIs. Scott McDaniel added a home run and Jason Crews pitched 2 scoreless innings to finish the game and the Bull­ dogs, 4-0. On Friday, the Mountain­ eers fought hard but fell short against the Kent University Golden Flash. Down 3-1 af­ ter 3 innings, ASU awoke in the fourth with two walks and an RBI from both Musgrave and Young to knot the score at 3 apiece. In the eighth inning, Ap­ palachian had the bases loaded with no outs, but Young and Chris Rodriguez struck out and Tommy Skul grounded out to end the in­ ning. Thanks to tough pitching and defense, highlighted by h** left fielder Brent Payton's div' ing catch in the eighth, Kent also went scoreless and the teams remained tied until the final inning. With two outs ^ see Baseball page 7 Reporter iil! Appalachian's men's tennis team split a pair of matches late last week, losing an extremely close match to East Tennessee State and defeating Radford University on the road. The Mountaineers faced East Ten­ nessee last Wednesday at home and came away with a near victory over the preseason favorite to win the Southern Conference title, losing 4-3. The App's number one seed doubles team of Manuel Zapata and Zach Sharpe defeated Juan Deangelo and Dean Houlzet, 8-5. Deangelo and Houlzet are a nationally ranked doubles team. The number two seed doubles, Pedro Lopes and Greg May, lost 8-4 and third seed doubles Itay Shimony and Ben Gerace lost 8-3, giving the Bucs an early 1-0 lead. The App netters needed to take four of the six singles matches, but could only come away with three in a valiant effort. Top seed Zapata dropped the first match 4-6 and 3-6, number two seed Lopes won the next match 7-6 and 6-4, and third seed Shimony dropped his match to the returning Southern Conference champion number two seed, Antonio Roveles, 4-6 and 3-6. The Mountaineers took two of the final three matches as fourth seed Greg May won 6-7, 6-4, and 6-2, fifth seed Sharpe won 6-1 and 6-1, but sixth seed J.C. Moeller dropped the final match 4-6 and 4-6, completing the Buccaneer victory 4-3. "I thought we played much better than we did against Georgia Southern and we were more focused on our matches," said Mike Kernodle, men's tennis coach.

The team finished 13 out of 18 teams in their first match in Charleston, followed by finishing 17 of 19 in their second tour­ nament. In addition to bouncing back from the two early season performances, the Furman tournament gave Appalachian a chance to see how they stack up against Southern Conference competition. Appa­ lachian was joined by six other conference schools in the tournament. Unfortunately for the Mountaineers, they did not improve, finishing 23 of 24 teams.

The streak was stopped by Bur­ by a 4-3 score. However, the match was close enough to help ton, who won a hotly contested Baseball continued from page 6 and a man on base in the ninth, Mountaineer pitcher Matt Russell gave up a 2-run shot over the right field fence by Steve Smetana, put­ ting the Golden Flash on top for good, 5-3. The Mountaineers began a 3game weekend series slowly against nationally-ranked Georgia Southern, but they refused to come up empty. In the first game, ASU waited until the eighth inning to score. A 5-run flurry in the inning proved to be too little too late as Appalachian fell, 8-5. The top of the seventh was the key point in the contest. Pitcher Jason Crews had given up 5 runs in the game and appeared to be tiring, but coach Jim Morris left him in. With 2 out, the Eagles' Steve Wilson hit a 3-run homer and Georgia South­ ern went on to win by 3, 8-5. ASU pitcher Garth Armstrong was nearly untouchable in the sec­ ond game of Saturday's doubleheader. Besides giving up an inside-the-park home run in the sixth, Armstrong literally halted the Eagle offense, allowing 4 hits and striking out 6 Georgia South­ ern batters in 7 innings. The Mountaineer hitting struggled also, though. But with the teams tied at 1 run apiece in the bottom of the sixth, the Eagle defense disintegrated. Danny Allard reached first base on an er­ ror, and Shane Owenby advanced him to second on a single. That was followed by a walk, another GSU error, and another walk to bring home 2 runs on only one hit. Armstrong struck out 2 in the top of the seventh to secure the ASU victory, 3-1. The win was the first in 17 at­ tempts against Georgia Southern. It was also the Mountaineers' first defeat of a nationally ranked team in Boone since1991 (Virginia Tech - ranked 21st).

HWY 321, BLOWING ROCK match 7-5, 6-2. Phalin followed Burton up winning the final singles match of the day 7-6, 6-0. The loss dropped the women's overall record this spring to 2-9. The Marshall match was the last on the road for the squad for a con­ siderable stretch. Today at 2:30, ASU faces off with Western Carolina. This match marks the first in a five game home stand. Appalachian will be look­ ing to this stretch to improve there overall record and gain momen­ tum before the conference tourna­ ment starts. Sunday's home finale was no less exciting than the previous day's games. Georgia Southern came out strong, scoring six runs in the first 3 innings. Appalachian began the second inning with con­ secutive singles by Brent Payton, Danny Allard and Musgrave, and came away from the inning with three runs. They added a run in the fifth and the eighth and went into the bottom of the ninth down 7-5. Payton led off the inning with a double. After Allard struck out, Musgrave walked and Tommy Skul followed with a single to load the bases with 1 out. Chris Rodriguez then slapped a sharp single to right, scoring Payton and setting up a play at the plate. GSU right fielder Sy Jones made a great throw home to catcher Steve Wil­ son, nailing Musgrave and preserv­ ing the win for the Eagles, 7-6. The Mountaineers are 9-15-1 this season, with five 1-run losses. Their next game is Tuesday at Vir­ ginia Tech, after which they return home for a Wednesday doubleheader against UNC-Charlotte at 1:30 p.m. Tennis continued from page 6 Apps bounced back from their loss to Radford in January, to come away with the 5-2 win. Coach Kernodle switched the seeds around a little for this match and it seemed to work pretty well as Pedro Lopes competed at the number one seed and won 6-2 and 6-1, Zapata dropped his match in three sets 6-2, 4-6, and 6-7, and third seed Zach Sharpe lost 6-7 and 5-7. The Apps turned it around and won the next three matches. Fourth seed Greg May won 6-3 and 6-3, fifth seed Shimony won 6-3 and 6-1, and sixth seed Moeller won in three sets 6-3, 6-7, and 63. Having already won all three of the doubles matches 8-4, 8-6, and 8-4 respectively, the Moun­ taineer netters came away with the 5-2 win, setting the tone for a very tough upcoming weekend. The Apps will face TennesseeChattanooga at home on Friday, then travel to South Carolina to take on Wofford on Saturday and Furman on Sunday. "We beat UTC last year for the first time in several years and we have a good chance to beat them this year," said coach Kernodle. "We have a very tough weekend and we are capable of winning all three matches, but it is going to be physically tough playing three consecutive days." �Quinn Center Appalachian News Official University News And Announcements Career Development Center Workshops are scheduled throughout the semester.

Darby Weaver and Robyn Mar­ tin and Ray Paschal and Todd Finch an­ swered questions from senators. Paul Burleson and Billy Bunting, the third ticket, were unable to attend the meeting. A letter they had written was read at the meeting by Senator Michael Hagerty. In the letter, Burleson expressed his regret for not being able to be there. "Due to short notice, we experienced a scheduling conflict," Burleson said. During the question and answer session, Weaver explained her "Appala­ chian 2000" plan. "Unless students are involved in a club or organization, they feel they don't have an outlet for their concerns," she said. "With our plan ev­ eryone will have a chance to voice their concerns." The Weaver and Martin platform deals a lot with diversity on campus. Weaver explained that she would be work­ ing with Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski on diversity. Off- campus Senator Dan Norris asked Weaver her views on bike lanes. Weaver explained, "We would like to see more bike lanes." In reference to their platform goal to support construction of bike lanes on the "Boone loop," Weaver said the town of Boone has already planned to construct these bike lanes.

'The students have no moral re­ sponsibility to compensate the faculty be­ cause they think we are underpaid," Millsaps said. Senator April Baucom, who spon­ sored the bill, argued that the fee is op­ tional for those faculty members who want to use it.

Paschal was asked how he felt about the upcoming Appalachian Convo­ cation Center Paschal responded, "I think that we should have the ACC, although I do not think it is the most important thing. The state is saying you could either have this facility, or have nothing." Adams asked all the candidates what they wanted to be said about them after they leave office. Finch said he would like to be regarded as a fair and accurate vice presi­ dent, and that he did an effective job lead­ ing senate. Paschal stressed that he wanted to be remembered as "a representative of the students- all the students." 'The main thing 1 would like to hear is that I was the best president," he said. Weaver said she would like people to say "she took the students voice to the administration and was not afraid to work against them." Martin said she wanted to be re­ membered as a "great listener." Paschal explained that he is look­ ing into the "Lexus-Nexus" that Bunting mentioned during the SGA-sponsored debate last week. "We are still trying to find [out about] it," he said. "If it is only $700 a month,... I think it is a great idea." Martin talked about her and Weaver's platform goal to increase cultural diversity.

Study Abroad adjusts to fluctuating dollar Jay Konstantaras Reporter As the U.S. dollar continues to fluctuate, concern has been raised by both faculty and students planning to study abroad. For the past two weeks, the dol­ lar has steadily declined against the Japa­ nese yen, the German mark and several other European curren­ cies. According to Associate Economics Professor Rick Kirkpatrick, the recent deprecia­ tion of the dollar can be attrib­ uted to the failed passage of the Balanced Budget Amendment in Congress, as well as the recent U.S. bailout of Mexico. The instability of the dollar has drawn the attention of market­ ing, geography and art department advis­ ers in charge of trips to England, France, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and several other countries. Professor Noyes Long, trip leader for the art department trip to Italy and Switzerland, is somewhat concerned. "We're facing circumstances we have no control over," said Long. Although the trip's price is unlikely to increase, certain line item expenses such as food and hotel costs may be higher than expected and such increases could have an impact on the program costs. Dr. Duane Daggett, leader of the management department's trip to "We're facing circumstances we have no control over." Scandinavia, has also been hit hard by the decline of the dollar. Costs on the Scandi­ navian trip to Denmark, Sweden and Nor­ way have risen almost 15 percent since last fall. "When we budgeted this trip in the fall, we estimated the total cost to be $2,950," said Daggett.

A1992 report by the N.C. Office of the State Auditor indi­ cated that faculty spent one-half of their time in the classroom, grading papers, and student advis­ ing, while the other half was spent on research and service activities. National surveys have shown that faculty at public re­ search campuses spend an average of six to seven hours per week in classrooms with their students. The faculty at doctoral campuses spend eight to nine hours and com­ prehensive campuses spend 10 to 12 hours in the classroom each week. Comprehensive cam­ puses, like Appalachian, offer work at a master's level, but not much at a doctorate level. Over the past 25 years, many faculty have come to believe that their promotions and tenures are based on research and publi­ cation, said Harvey Durham, Appalachian's provost and vice chancellor of academic affairs. At UNC-Chapel Hill, 56 percent of the course sections usually taken in a student's first two years were taught by teaching assistants, ac­ cording to the proposal. Several options have been recommended by a joint sub-com­ mittee of the House and Senate to solve this problem. One of the options is to increase the faculty teaching load by five percent at master's and doctoral campuses. Another option is to mandate that the Board of Governors control classroom workloads. The sub­ committee also suggested that 50 percent of the budget savings for salary increases be directed to fac­ ulty who teach more than an av­ erage load. "An average load for teachers at ASU is a little above 10 hours and the average may be dif­ ferent at other schools," said Durham. He feels the objective the sub-committee's third option is to get more full-time professors into the classroom. Depending on the rank of the person, the more hours a professor teaches, the more he or she will be paid. Durham used a scenario to describe why that option may not be the best solution. Suppose one professor teaches nine hours, is on several committees and is involved in service activities, while another professor teaches 12 hours and isn't involved in other activi­ ties. According to that option, if the professors are ranked the same, the one teaching 12 hours would get paid more while the other is working just as hard for the university. "I'm not sure they've thought through this," Durham said. The state legislature will also consider recommendations to reduce faculty positions and fac­ ulty salaries. ASU currently has 670.3 full-time-equivalent-teaching posi­ tions, but a reduction of 31.9 fac­ continued^ Weaver whether she thought gen­ der was an issue. Weaver responded, "I want to make it clear that we stand strong in our issues and not in our gender. I think we have proven that we are very strong in our is­ sues and we do not have to stand on the fact that we are both women," she said. Adams, a Paschal and ulty could occur for the next school year. In the past five years, 15 faculty positions have been lost, but been replaced with vacant po­ sitions, said Durham. A vacant position is a class that is not cur­ rently being taught. The faculty is moved around to fill the vacant positions and therefore, no fulltime teachers lose their jobs. Most positions for part-time teachers are from term to term; they're not nec­ essarily given long-term commit­ ments. The average ASU faculty salary and fringes is $56,659.90 per year. A proposal recommends a reduction of $1,808,530. For every 16 full time equivalent stu­ dents there is one faculty position. Each faculty member receives a fixed amount of money for each position ranging from $30,000 to $60,000. The fringe include ben­ efits like health insurance and re­ tirement, so the total is $56,000.00. The state legislature will vote on all the recommendations late this summer.

This will be the sixth council in A.P.P.S. and will be expected to plan and implement three to four events per month. The entertainment is to include DJ's, dances, comedians, and occasional live bands. This council will be funded, similar to the other A.P.P.S. councils, in part through Student Activities Fees and will operate along the lines of A.P.P.S. Club Shows. The New Council will be encouraged to co-sponsor events with existing multi-cultural groups and other A.P.P.S. councils. It will meet weekly and be led by a Chairperson who will serve on the A.P.P.S. Executive Cabinet representing the opinions of the members of the New Council. A membership drive will begin this Spring which will include selecting a Chairperson and recruiting members to serve on the New Council. The first interest meeting will be held on March 23, but if you are still interested in learning more about the council or the Chairperson position, we encourage you to stop by Student Programs or call 262-2855 to inquire for more information. This council is open to all students regardless of race, creed, or gender. Please come out and support this New Council in celebration of diversity. HWY 321, BLOWING ROCK ET Yer, Bnme?

Page 3 Dollar continued from page 1 The overall drop of the dollar has had the greatest impact on those students traveling to countries where the dollar has been hit the hardest. To compen­ sate for the dollar's downward slide, students participating in the Scandinavian trip have been asked to bring along additional spending money. Senior Nathan Templeton is just one of 39 students affected by this decision. "It's unfair be­ cause we'll be missing out on a number of educational activities and experiences." For some students, the call for additional spending money was expected. "We knew that cir­ cumstances could change at any time, you just have to deal with it as it comes," said sophomore Megan Moore. Senior Allison Dob­ bins also sees the increase as a necessary evil. "My parents will give me the money I need to go," said Dobbins, "I just won't be able to buy as much." Students traveling to countries where the dollar has re­ mained stable, however, remain relatively unaffected. Junior John Yaeger, who will travel to Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary through the geography depart­ ment, is not concerned in the least. "It really hasn't affected me be­ cause the places we're planning to visit aren't as heavily traveled by tourists," said Yaeger.

OASIS, Inc., a local non­ profit organization, provides ser­ vices to victims of family violence and sexual assault. OASIS ( Opposing Abuse with Service, Information and Shelter) began in 1978. It was started by three local women who determined that there was a need in the area for such an organiza­ tion. They started with one room in a church and now serve Alleghany, Ashe and Watauga Counties. A shelter exists in Wa­ tauga County in a confidential lo­ cation. Jennifer Herman, execu­ tive director of OASIS, says that OASIS cannot solve the crimes of domestic violence and sexual as­ sault, but it can act as a "band-aid." OASIS offers shelter and counsel­ ing for abused women and their children as well as educational problems designed to educate all ages on the effects of domestic vio­ lence. "We want to help every­ one in the community realize that violence is a crime," said Herman. OASIS has helped many Appalachian State students deal with abusive dating relationships, specifically sexual assaults. Ac­ cording to Herman, only one in ten sexual assaults is reported. Herman says that laws re­ garding domestic violence make it tough for women to get out of vio­ lent family situations. "Ninety percent of domes­ tic violence situations are as severe as felonies, but are classified as misdemeanors," said Herman. Economic situations in which the male controls the fi­ nances of the household and inse­ curity brought on by violence and abuse also play roles in the diffi­ culty of getting out of a abusive situation. "The average woman leaves seven times before she gets out," said Herman. Herman commented on the tragedy of the O.J. Simpson case, but recognized the positive aspect that the case has had in making the public aware that do­ mestic violence is a real problem in this country. "It has shown people that it really is a problem. Four women are killed everyday in this coun­ try," said Herman. OASIS relies heavily on volunteer workers to work a 24hour crisis line. Sixty percent of those volunteers are ASU students. Some volunteers have themselves been victims of violence. Six of the volunteers are male. To become a volunteer, one must attend a 20 hour train­ ing program which usually takes place in the fall. The training ses­ sion takes three weeks and in­ volves training on domestic vio­ lence and listening skills. OASIS is funded through United Way, the Boone Town Council, state funding, private do­ nations and fundraising. Those interested in volun­ teering for OASIS or its educa­ tional programs can contact the OASIS office Monday through Fri­ day at 264-1532.

News, by definition, is non-bias facts. I understand that your pa­ per shares its views through the opinion section, which makes it seem okay. It's not! First, the paper chose sides on ACES issue. I (with the same views) was still surprised that a paper could be so bias. Has The Appalachian lost its focus of re­ porting the news and chose to be­ come the students' Big Brother? We do not need a paper, or any­ one, to think for us. It is time for the editor to re­ claim The Appalachian as the stu­ dents' voice, not the voice of a par­ ticular group. I ask that you allow the students to draw their own conclusions. Go back to the roots of media and simply report the facts. Ritch Workman ASU Box 18712 Faculty should pay fee Ice machine fixed To the Editor: I am writing in regard to the question currently being debated in the SGA of whether faculty and their family members should be required to pay for the use of the Quinn Center facility. I agree that our faculty is ex­ tremely under paid. However, I believe that the distribution of monies paid to student fees is highly unbalanced. For example, I would rather see our money go towards the revamping of Rankin Science, Smith-Wright Hall, or the Home Economics facility. By assessing the faculty with an optional fee, we could then gen­ erate funds for the upkeep of the Quinn, thus diverting our money towards the educational facilities. I do believe that we are offered an exceptional education for a minimal price. I also understand that some people feel that charg­ ing our faculty for use of some fa­ cilities would be a "slap in the face." However, I feel that if we INTRAMURAL SPORTS IS LOOKING FOR LEADERSHIP, DISCIPLINE, & COMMITMENT FOR FALL 1995 PROGRAMMERS & ASSISTANTS ARE NEEDED FOR: TEAM SPORTS INDIVIDUAL/DUAL/SPECIAL EVENTS EMPLOYEES PUBLICITY show our educators that we are willing to put our funds towards facilities that would enable them to educate us much easier, I do not see where the questions of unfair­ ness and punishment comes in.

Louise Ward Gold Room Manager Women should attend conference To the Editor: On Saturday, March 25,1995 at 8:30 a.m. in the Broyhill Music Center there will be a Women's Leadership Conference. The con­ ference is being sponsored by the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership. This is one of the best oppor­ tunities for women on ASU's cam­ pus to learn more about leader­ ship, careers, and themselves. I at­ tended this conference last year and was surprised at the amount of information I received. This year's keynote speaker is Julia Sterkovsky, Director of Women's Concerns at Miami Uni­ versity. Ms. Sterkovsky is a dy­ namic speaker, and Appalachian is lucky to have her be a part of this conference. March is Women's History Month and is an important time to reflect on the remarkable women who have influenced our history. This conference is a time to reflect on our history as well as coming together to learn from each other. I would urge every woman on this campus to give themselves the benefit of spending a day empow­ ering themselves. This is an op­ portunity we have been given by our university, so take advantage of it! You can register in the CSIL office on the second floor of Plemmons Student Union.

The conference, sponsored by the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership (CSIL), was put together by a group of women involved with the university, both at the student level and the faculty level. It is designed for all women, whether in a leadership role or not. Manya Brachear, who is on the committee for the conference,said the conference is open to any woman in the university. "The conference is not only to develop leadership already there," said Brachear, "but to promote, encourage leadership roles." and inspire women to take on leadership roles.

This nation- wide philanthropy This week is the National Child Abuse Awareness Week, so what better to do than eat as many pancakes as pos­ sible? Before you think I've lost my mind, let me explain exactly how the two come together. Since 1987, the Epsilon- Epsilon chapter of Kappa Delta sorority at ASU has been serving up all- you- caneat pancakes to raise money for the pre­ vention of child abuse. In their "Sham­ rock Project", three dollar tickets could )e purchased to attend the feeding frenzy held at McDonald's in Boone. "Last year we raised close to $800, and our goal this year is $1200," said Angie Boijes, the Vice- President of Public Relations for Kappa Delta. The sisters of Kappa Delta ended up selling 478 tickets, and are still receiving other donations jenny Moore, Shamrock Chair, serves pancakes for "Shamrock Project", a Jenny OyJohn Lane, has been run by all the Kappa Delta chap­ ters across America for twenty- two years. Of the money raised, 20% will go to the National Committee for the Prevention of Child Abuse (NCPCA). The other 80% will be put directly back into the commu­ nity of Boone through the Wataugua Children's Council. "We want Boone to see that we give to the community and let them see immediate results," said Borjas. The tickets to the feast were sold on campus by the sisters of Kappa Delta, and sales were focused mostly toward fac­ ulty and students, however elementary schools and other organizations in the area were notified. They also had the sup­ port of local radio stations and other news media to get the word out. "All the other sororities have sup­ ported us by buying blocks of tickets," said Borjas, "but the fraternities are who re­ ally pack the place." Among the more distinguished attendees was Chancellor Borkowski and his wife. see Shamrock page 7 P.J.

After lis­ tening to Harvey's new al­ bum, "To Bring You My Love," one has to throw gender out the window and enjoy one of the best al­ bums released by anyone this year. Harvey opens the album with the moody title song that sets the stage for much of the rest of the al­ bum. "To Bring You My Love" is a slow, bluesy tune that relies simply on three guitar chords and convinc­ ing vocals that work subtly until you realize, about two minutes into the track, that you are listening to a truly great song. Harvey uses sev eral unique mystical styles integrated with textures to the songs that allow you to her blues-based song writing. "Working discover something new with each new for the Man" uses a hip-hop beat and listen. Steven Mackay Reporter In 1788, all of England has finally accepted the fact that their precious colo­ nies have left the nest and become what is known as the United States. Only one man seems to have forgotten this undis­ puted fact. He is the king, himself, George III. The same man who lost them in the first place. Sadly, poor George (Nigel* Hawthorne) has not only lost the states,; but he's also lost his marbles. How he; finds them is the premise behind "The Madness of King George," a wonderful British import that has been showered with numerous Oscar nominations. ; As some would say, the King is cuckoo for Cocoa-Puffs. He talks to pigs,; swears like a sailor, hits on any female in the province (except for his wife), ex; cretes in his clothes and runs around Windsor like a chicken without a head.; In the old days this was consid; ered madness and was treated with a; harsh combination of medicine and tor; ture. Nowadays, there is much better; see Madness page Although the music is impres­ sive, the best thing about the record is RJ. Harvey's voice. She can sound long­ ing and sweet as in "C'mon Billy," or gut­ tural in "I Think I'm a Mother." After lis­ tening to "I Think I'm a Mother," you could even compare her vocal perfor- spective song. Every time she sings, whis­ pers or belts, Harvey shows the depth from which her words come. Whether she is inviting you to hear her "Long Snake Moan" or lamenting "I'm begging Jesus, please/Send his love to me," she does it with supreme conviction.

The three short plays are di­ rected by the members of the The­ ater and Dance Department's ad­ vanced directing class and are sure to be entertaining. The evening's first show is "When God Comes for Breakfast, You Don't Burn the Toast" by Gary Apple. "When God Comes for Breakfast" is directed by Allison Kay Briden, stage managed by Amy TXicker, and costumes are coordi­ nated by Tracey Tebow. This hi­ larious tale takes place in the Katzman household where bedlam breaks loose late one night when Harry, played by Will Stoneham, informs his wife Beatrice, played by Emily Booth, that he has invited God, played by Rebecca Jones, over for breakfast in the morning. Things take a turn for the funnier when the Katzmans oversleep. A series of mishaps and miscommunications soon lead to Harry and Beatrice dragging their extraordi­ nary guest into the middle of their madcap adventure. The second show of the evening is "The Love Course" by A. R. Gumey. "The Love Course" tells the story of two college pro­ fessors, Miss Carroway and Profes­ sor Burgess, played by Melanie R. Anouilh and Dan Norris respec­ tively, who decide to teach a ro­ mantic literature class together. The two professors and their stu­ dents, Sally, played by Lauren Volkmer, and Mike, played by Jus­ tice Jason Miller, eventually learn about more than just literature. 'The Love Course" is directed by LeeAnna K. Teague, stage man­ aged by Gabrielle Amber Pitman, and costumes are coordinated by Snapper Morgan.

The Prince of Wales (Rupert Everett) is the eldest and most power hun­ gry son of the monarch. He ships Dad off to a secluded hideaway and tries to wear the crown. Boy, does he deserve a good spanking. Suffering through the en­ tire ordeal is Charlotte (Helen Mirren), George's loving and loyal wife. They jokingly refer to each other as "Mr. and Mrs. King." The prince keeps her in seclusion away from the king. Make that a spank­ ing with a cast-iron scepter. "The Madness of King George" is a brilliantly-acted movie that is both powerfully dramatic and extremely funny. Much of the movie is a satire on British rule and royal family squabbles. The rest of the movie is an emotional rollercoaster about a man losing his san­ ity, family, job and almost his life. "The Madness of King George" is officially un-rated, but it probably deserves a PG-13 for adult content. It's unsuitable for most children, but perfect for older, sophisticated audiences.

This match was more of a case of us losing rather than being beaten. We have the potential to do well, but until we improve our men­ tal capacity while we are playing, poten­ tial is nothing." The Apps' record goes to 4-6 with their next match on Wednesday against East Tennessee State. The Buccaneers are the early favorite to win the Southern Con­ ference crown. The netters will then travel to Virginia to take of Radford University on Friday. Heidgerd's racket on the Southern Conference Akram Barghothi Sports Editor Alice Heidgerd is now a senior on the Appalachian women's tennis team. She does not consider herself a leader though. "I am more of a supporter than a leader; I want to make sure everyone is working hard," said Heidgerd. She started playing tennis when she was twelve, "...pretty late compared to most people" she pointed out. "I started playing in the summer at the Raleigh Racquet club when my parents would drop me off. I would go swim for the team and play tennis." Fbr Heidgerd, tennis started to play a larger role when she got to Broughton High School, in Raleigh. "In high school tennis was the big thing. We had a good guys team, they won the state, and we had a good girls team, we were the best in the conference." Playing for a strong high school pro­ gram helped her develop as a player and a team member. "A team like that kind of gets you motivated to play" Heidgerd added. Her high school team has had a ma­ jor influence on her career goals. "I hope that when I graduate I can coach a high school team. Half the reason why I want to be a teacher is my high sqfttol coach, he was so much fun to be '^e are physically ready for tomatches, but we are Wing a lot of mistakes." - Mike Kernodle .

Her desire to be a teacher was part of what led her to Appalachian. The other factor was a little less obvious. "I went to a basketball game and every Manuel Zapata warms up for match with Eagles, (photo by Rhett Butler) see Racket page 10 In a country where blue collar workers struggle their whole life just to make ends meet, it just does not seem right to have a group of grown men arguing over making their fair share, when they either get paid or pay others to play children's games. Professional athletics has gotten com­ pletely out of control. Players are making millions of dollars a year, owners, in the arger markets, are making hundreds of millions, and the fans are paying the price. Tickets run anywhere from $10 -$70 per ticket. Throw in $8 - $10 for a snack and most people cannot afford to take them­ selves, let alone a family of four. Not only are they making millions just off of the games, but apparel has also reached an all-time high and the profits are rolling in. T-shirts are selling for about $15-20 depending on where you get them, and don't forget about those Starter jack­ ets going for about $100 a pop. Not only can you not afford to go to a game, but you can barely afford to even have a fa­ vorite team. In a country where the boundaries of poverty and wealth continue to broaden, it is becoming more and more evident that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. It is absurd that the Na­ tional Pastime has become virtually inac­ cessible to the nation, except for television. Anyone who cannot live off of $1 million a year is out of touch with the real world and is living far too excessively. These millionaires should be more considerate of those people who cannot pay their rent or even afford to buy groceries. Government regulatory agencies, such as the Department of Labor, are not al­ lowed to touch professional sports, but maybe if they were, the price of tickets could be drastically reduced, food could actually be affordable, and the players and owners could still make more than their fair share of money. We would not have to worry about a bunch of grown men who are too spoiled to remember what athlet­ ics are all about. It seems that professional athletes have gotten so greedy and so lazy that they go on strike every time they de­ cide that a couple of million dollars a year is not enough money for them to get out of bed and go to the park to play a game. It is past time for these overgrown chil­ dren to become much more socially respon­ sible and to begin acting like the profes­ sionals they are. Maybe if baseball does stick with the replacement players, we could get the real players to work behind the scenes for a week or two, vending drinks, tearing tickets, or flipping burgers in a concession stand. Let them get a glimpse of what real people go through and maybe they will wake up and be thankful for the fairy tale world in which they live. It is a real shame that these so called professional athletes have forgotten what is was like when they were growing up. Many of these athletes grew up in middle or lower class families where their parents had to work hard for what they had. There is nothing wrong with wanting to make a better life for themselves and their fami­ lies, but they need to take into account all of the people who they are hurting because of their greed. They need to think about the all of the people who make their liv­ ings at the ballparks: the vendors, the ush­ ers, the parking attendants, and all of the other jobs which are too numerous to men­ tion. The athletes may be having trouble paying for their million dollar homes, but these people are having trouble putting food on the table. Professional athletics has gotten way out of hand and until someone does something about it, it is only going to get worse. The fans are the only ones who can make the change happen. If the fans boycotted games, quit buying their expensive mer­ chandise, and demanded a change, they would have no other options left but to change. It is time for the fans to take back the games from the corporate big whigs and return the love of the games, for all our sakes. �Page 10 Racket The Appalachian, Thursday 23 March son make the rigors of the fall all worth while "in the spring it gets fun again. It gets fun when you continued from page 9 body was wild and crazy and I said to myself 'I think I like this school.' "I was a junior in high school at that time and I thought yeah, I can play tennis up here." That was only secondary to her at that time. In addition to wanting to coach tennis at the high school level, Heidgerd wants to continue to play competitively after she gradu­ ates. "I still want to play tourna­ ments and stuff when I set out of school." Heidgerd's love of the game is obvious but her love is not enough to keep her from getting a little burned out from time to time. Fall is that time for her. "Every fall is awful, all you do is practice every day, you play individual tourna­ ments, there is not much of a team factor. After that I did not pick up a racquet for about a month and a half." For Heidgerd the Spring sea­ Heidgerd get a little compassion and start playing matches and you play as a team." Team competition is very impor­ tant for Heidgerd. Despite her strong individual performances this season she is most proud of the play of her doubles play. She teams up with Amy Parille, her roommate, and the only other senior on the team. When describing Parille, Heidgerd said "She is the best partner I have ever played with, we really work well to­ gether." Heidgerd feels that this tandem has a lot of promise when it come time for conference hon­ ors to be given out. "I want to get at least to the finals in doubles. I think my partner and I are good enough to do that." "Amy and I really decided that we were going to make this our best year. She's a good player, really good." As far as her singles action goes, Heidgerd said "Its to early to tell. I want people to look at me and think they are going to have to be out there all day before they bet me and think 'oh gosh I have to play Alice'." 199s Lady Linksters get into swipq 1 — • . i i . r» • i i CL.L An Appalachian finished fifth in the six team field.

The excitement of the sweet 16, though, is that no one knows what will happen, and that is a refresh­ ing change from the absence of a World Series and a predictable Super Bowl that was played more for the gamblers than the fans. Most of the first and second seeds have been number one in the country at some time this year, and they aren't ready to throw in the proverbial towel yet.

First, they want to build state leg­ islative support for library funding through monthly visits to Raleigh. Send­ ing one van costs $150. This seems un­ necessary since legislators won't be meet­ ing during the next school year, due to a short session. Requesting $3 million for the li­ brary collection from the Centennial Cam­ paign is a good idea, and cites a more con-' crete target to shoot for than Paschal and Finch did in their platform. Weaver and Martin want to im­ prove library education by creating a sys­ tem which will help students find research materials faster. The library currently has librarians standing behind desks ready to answer any questions students may have on finding materials, and World Civiliza- tion classes do supplemental orientatior tours. Appalachian 2000 is their plan tc increase student input into the university': future. They would have faculty mem bers pass out surveys during class.

Paschal said al­ though the fee for the astroturf is good, the student fees toward ath­ letics are increasing too much. Weaver said athletics plays a very integral role in education, but it should not be the top priority. Burleson said he appreci­ ates the athletic role of providing opportunity to a diverse group of students and the excitement it gen­ erates, but if it poses a threat to a quality education, it raises a seri­ ous concern. In a question regarding the working relationship already established with administrators, Weaver said she has met several members of the UNC Board of Governors but has not met mem­ bers of the Board of Trustees. Burleson said he has not yet met any of the Board of Trustees or the Board of Governors. Paschal said he has met and worked with the Board of Trustees and Board of Governors.

He said too many patients test positive anonymously, but never return for the results' Therefore, in June, tests will no longer be anonymous. Derrick said the only way to improve the confidentiality is to make patients fill out the appropriate paperwork in a separate room from all other patients in the infirmary.

Expand all-u-can eat: Ron Dubberly, director of food services, said he does not have any plans to expand it, but he is not against it. Contractual food services: Dubberly said he thinks it is better that Appalachian self-operates, "because we can react to students better." Increase campus accessi­ bility for the physically challenged: State law requires that the cam­ pus be accessible to the handi­ capped. ASU certainly could look into new and innovative technolo­ gies that help these people.

This is a good idea that would require a lot of effort and can be accomplished. How­ ever Appalachian cannot help with the funding.

Harry Williams, director of minority recruitmert, agreed with the Weaver and Martin plat­ form to increase efforts to recruit minorities. He said that the more people that work on it and talk about it, the better. Recruitment of diverse faculty is the job of the Equal Op­ portunities Program. University Director of EO Richard Howe said they already have a complex sys­ tem set up to ensure diverse hir­ ing practices. Provisions have also been suggested in the proposal from the Chancellor's Forum for Diversity to increase diverse fac­ ulty. Feedback on these results will be presented at Friday's Board of Trustees meeting. Continuing to oppose tu­ ition increases is important. Stu­ dents won't be happy with an SGA president who supports them. Weaver and Martin in­ clude support for Greek-funded Greek housing in an attempt to scrape up some, if any, Greek votes. In their platform, they support expanding recycling pro­ grams in residence halls and implementing recycling programs during freshman orientation. A general concensus among candi­ dates is that these are good ideas; each of them has their own ver­ sion. The campus-wide Spring Graduation Celebration is an ex­ cellent idea, especially until the Appalachian Convocation Center can house one spring commence­ ment to honor all seniors at once. continued from page 1 vacant position- and has been for two years, according to Dr. Will­ iam Derrick, director of health ser­ vices. It seems Paschal and Finch should consider supporting the infirmary speeding up the process. Paschal and Finch suggest having data ports installed in all residence hall rooms. This is an­ other noble attempt to stake claim to something that is already in progress. Appalachian Heights has data ports and Newland Hall soon will. As an SGA off-campus senator, Finch has been working on extending library hours since last semester. He and SGA Aca­ demic Affairs Chair Alex Walters have been talking to university li­ brarian, Dr. Mary Reichel, about the possibility. As a result the li­ brary is going to try staying open until 1 a.m. Sunday through Thurs­ day to see if there is a need to stay open late. Supporting the hiring of a nutritionist for students is reason­ able since faculty and staff already have this luxury. They also want to create nutrition guides for all university food services. Ron Dubberly, di­ rector of food services, said that a computer system which will be able to store nutrition information will be installed this summer, but the information will not be avail­ able for another year and a half. Establishing a 24-hour computer room in the student union is another idea of Paschal and Finch. Unfortunately, the Stu­ dent Union Advisory Board has looked into this and has found that it would be difficult to find quali­ fied staff to operate a computer room around the clock. Creating a multicultural affairs cabinet position and com­ bining the chief-of-staff and state affairs positions is one of the best ideas of all the candidates. They would eliminate a position which hardly does anything and create one that has been in need for quite some time. The ideas of implement­ ing a recycling education program into orientation and freshmen seminar and the two-for-one tree deal are good, but they are most likely an attempt to salvage any environmentalist's votes. Including the library in the university's Centennial Cam­ paign is a valid idea. So valid, that another ticket also has it on their platform. Students should be glad to know that Paschal and Finch will oppose tuition increases. What students don't need is an SGA president that supports it. Paschal and Finch's plat­ form is feasible and well-researched. The only problem is that a number of their ideas are already in progress.

Qui Paschal / Finch: ASU's ticket to ride Editor's note: The following is The Appalachian Editorial Board's endorsement for SGA president and vice president. We based our decision on our news analysis (see page 1), the candidates' debate, past interviews and platform goals. The endorsement of the Paschal / Finch ticket is the result of a majority vote by the editorial board. For those of you who somehow missed the flyers, banners and stickers, there is an election taking place on campus. Wednesday and Thursday, students will se­ lect the next Student Government Asso­ ciation president and vice president. The three tickets are Paul Burleson and Billy Bunting, Ray Paschal and Todd Finch and Darby Weaver and Robyn Martin. The Appalachian Editorial Board en­ dorses Paschal and Finch. While there are drawbacks to this ticket, we feel that this pair will best serve Appalachian's students because of their combination of experience, new ideas and well-researched platform goals. Write The Appalachian. Paschal would bring the necessary experience needed to be an effective SGA president. Because SGA is simply a rec­ ommending body, much of SGA's effective­ ness comes from the ability of the presi­ dent to work with the university's admin­ istration. Paschal has been SGA director of state affairs for two years. In that posi­ tion, he has dealt with both campus administrators and the university's two governing bodies, the Appalachian Board of Trustees and the UNC- sys­ tem Board of Governors. Several of the Paschal and Finch platform goals influ­ enced the editorial board's en­ dorsement. • Establish an advising contract system- This is the best platform idea on any of the platforms. The contract would require advisors to guarantee a student's graduation if the student followed the advisor's plan. The contract would not prevent mistakes from being made, but it would force advisors to be more careful when making recom­ mendations and would hold them ac­ countable for mistakes which can cause a student to spend an extra semester in school. • Establish a 24-hour study / com­ puter room in the student union- Students have waited too long for the student union's completion for this not to be in­ cluded once it finally opens. The closing of the 24-hour study room in Whitener tage. « Create a position for Multi-Cultural Affairs on the SGA cabinet- This addresses the campuses growing concern for diver­ sity. Paschal and Finch have also said that they would pay for the new position by cutting out the chief of staff position. This is indicative of many of the Paschal / Finch goals in that the candidates have researched not only a goal's feasibility, but also its cost. Also, this goal gets rid of a cabinet position that is rarely used. • Establish a student committee to carefully review all student fees- This goal hits on one of students' main con­ cerns- their money. Currendy, student fees are pre­ sented to SGA and senators discuss the increases. This method does not give stu­ dents a chance to closely examine the in­ creases. A committee whose sole charge is to review and make recommendations on student fees can only benefit students. Overall, Paschal and Finch have the best-researched platform. Some goals are already in the works, by the university, but "Paschal and Finch know what their job will be, how to do it and how to do it well." leaves students with no all-night study room The decision to change the com­ puter lab in the student union from a 24hour lab to one that closes at 2 a.m. ig­ nores student needs for such a facility. * Copy machine access by Appala­ chian Express- Though this is a minor point on the platform, it is one of which many students would likely take advan- You are what you watch Send letters to : • ASU Box 9025 • The Appalachian, 2nd Floor, Student Union Today's news media •TheApp@conrad is consumed with too appstate.edu much junk news and not enough of the h e a l t h y stuff Please include name and ASU Box #.

As it turns out, there are three tickets. The moi i alphabetical of the three would have to be the fS: ther/son team, Paul Burleson and Billy Bunting, i These two gendemen are running on a sort of cam pus-populist platform; it is their goal to place stu­ dent government back in the hands of the students While they stop short of mud-slinging, they suggtij that student government is currendy in the hands o special interests, and, if elected, they plan to chang this. Along with sensible ideas such as streamlininj Food Services and expanding Mountaineer Escort, they are apparently in favor of publishing all S® minutes in die Appalachian. (Could this be a sinis­ ter plot to silence the student newspaper by puttinj anyone who tries to read it to sleep?)

Individu­ ally, they have strengths which I feel will have a tremendous impact on the Student Government Asso­ ciation and the administration of Appalachian. When these gentle­ men combine their talents the pro­ ductivity is unreal, but REAL! Iam more than confident in saying that an investment in Paschal and Finch is an investment in advancement.

World healing through music and dance Special to the Appalachian Nine Tibetan monks of the Drepung Loseling Monastery will perform ancient Tibetan music and dance at 8 p.m. on Fri­ day, March 24, in Farthing Auditorium. The performance, entitled "Sacred Music, Sacred Dance for World Healing," is pre­ sented by the Office of Cultural Affairs, as part of the Performing Arts Series. The sacred performing arts have, in ancient societies, been considered one of the most powerful vehicles for inspiring healing, peace and har­ mony. Tibet, which preserved one of humanity's most ancient civiliza­ tions, was especially strong in this re­ spect. Drawing from their traditional temple music and masked dances, the Tibetan monks will perform an arrangement of pieces believed to generate energies con­ ducive to world harmony.

They traveled to The Emerald in New Bern, N.C. to play in .the .sixth an­ nual ECU Emerald Intercollegiate Golf Tournament. They looked to this trip to improve on that finish. Instead, the team's performance was a small step in the other direction - Appalachian finished 17 of 19 teams. Virginia Commonwealth broke a 2year old scoring record set by the Univer­ sity of Virginia and won the tournament, firing an 876. In breaking the record, VCU completed their three-day domination of Young the field, never trailing in the event Sam Adams, ASU men's golf coach, said the Emerald "is a difficult course, the round on Saturday was played in diffi cult conditions." Adams was quick to point out this was not an excuse for his team's poor performance. "The conditions on Friday were good, and Sunday it was just a little breezy," he said. Junior Jason Young played a strong three rounds for Appalachian. Young shot 75-78-74 to lead the Mountaineers. 'Ja­ son played good golf," said Adams. Freshman David Goodman also con­ tributed a strong performance, shooting rounds of 77-81-76. Junior Jeff Waltzer had the Mountaineers' third best score. He finished his tournament with rounds of 76-78-84. The bottom dropped out for the Apps when Junior Drew Taylor shot 81-83-85 and sophomore Brooks Himer shot 81-8583. The tandem of Taylor and Turner rounded out Appalachian's scoring. "The team is still performing well be­ low where they should be. I don't know exactly why, maybe it's the coach's fault," said Adams. Appalachian's next tournament is March 23-26 at Furman. "Furman is not as difficult a course, shot hitting and driving will not be as much a premium," said Adams. "I think our team score should be in the 305-310 range, whether or not that will move us up in the team standings is a question, there will be a better field at Furman."

This exact scenario was played out on Sunday, when watchers got to see the deadlocked Memphis-Purdue gameon an inset screen.

Men's tennis win a close one at UNC-G Stephen Hensley Assistant Sports Editor The Men's tennis team im­ proved their season record to 4-6 Thursday aftemoo n after winning 4-3 at UNC-Greensboro. The Apps took four of six individual matches and one of three doubles matches on the way to slaying the Spartans. After getting the point for win­ ning two of three doubles matches, UNC-G took a 1-0 advantage in the singles events. Zach Sharpe, the Mountaineers fifth seed drew the contest even at one apiece with a 7-6 (7-5), 6-2 victory over Andrew Short. Coach Mike Kernodle watched with baited breath as his other five players were all down a set in their Jazz continued from page 8 things: buzzer-beaters, upsets, and Dick Vitale - although the charm of the entire three weekends is that the close of each season has a dif­ ferent flavor, something to make even the most jaded fan crack a smile. College ball's most elite tournament is definitely not pre­ dictable. Knowing this, why do so many suckers gamble in March? Not only is it guaranteed to contribute to heart trouble and alcohol abuse. Not only does it cause episodes of violence on things both living and inanimate. But plenty of people see gambling as one of life's worst sins, right up there with adultery, steal­ ing, and listening to Luke Campbell. Ifs really, honestly des picable ... but does anyone, by chance, remember the odds on Kentucky? individual matches. "I thought our attitude was a little slack going in," Kernodle commented on his team's play. "They were a little overconfident." Facing a one set deficit, three of the five remaining Mountain­ eers were able to battle back to help the Apps capture the 4-3 win. Pedro Lopes at the number two seed clawed back from being down 4-6 to take a 4-6,6-2,6-3 win over James Glen. At the third seed, Itay Shimony fought off Oliver Brentzle 2-6, 6-1, 6-4. Greg May got a vic­ tory at the number five position by getting by Tyler Roberts 4-6, 6-3, 6-3. Manuel Zapata dropped his match against the Spartan's num­ ber one seed Adam Messick. 4-6, 6-7 (4-7). J.C. Moeller fell in straight sets in his sixth seed match against Dan Cook 1-6, 6-7 (4-7). "If we play that way in other matches, we're in a lot of trouble," Kernodle remarked on the come from behind victory. With a pair of conference matches slated for this week, the Mountaineers can ill afford to find themselves in another uphill struggle. The Apps will take on the Eagles of Georgia Southern Tilesday March 21 then turn around to face East Tennessee State the fol­ lowing afternoon. Both matches are home contests and are slated to start at 2:30. The Apps will then take to the road Saturday March 25 to take on Radford. Slide With the loss to UNC-Greens­ boro the teams overall mark drooped to 2-5. On Saturday the team hosted its first home match of the season with Davidson traveling up the mountain to face the struggling ASU squad. The Wildcats trounced Appalachian 6-1, with Heidgerd winning a set war, 3-6,6-4,7-5 against Davidson's Nicole Wilcox. The next match was Sunday when ASU hosted the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. UNC-Charlotte won a close fought match, 3-4. Heidgerd defeated UNCCharlotte's Cheryl Lee 6-2. Sopel continued from page 8 contributed to the Appalachian cause by defeating Sarah Bandomer 6-1,6-0. Parille contin­ ued Appalachian's Dominica of the early going dropping Mandy Saharia 6-2,6-3. Unfortunately the Mountain­ eers did not win another point in the match. Although Heidgerd and Parille won their double match, 8-2, it was not to win the critical doubles point. With the loss the Women's tennis team's record dropped to 27. Today at 2:30 p.m. they will attempt to improve on that mark q they face Georgia Southern.

Adams Monday. SGA senators voiced concerns over the proposed 1995-96 stu­ dent fee increases, at their Feb. 28 meet­ ing. The proposal includes a $50 fee increase for all students, and an additional $120 room and board increase for on-campus students. Dr. Greg Blinding, vice chancel­ lor for student affairs, and Jane Helm, vice chan­ cellor for busi­ ness affairs, were on hand to review the in­ creases and en­ tertain questions from senators. Several Helm senators ex­ pressed concern over the increase in the general athletic fee. Student fees currently contribute to 40 percent of the total oper­ ating budget of the athletic program which exceeds $3.8 million. Yet according to Paul Burleson & Helm, the athletic department currently Billy Bunting operates at a $72,000 deficit. Helm said years ago coaches were Platform goals focus on hired as faculty members. Since then, making SGA more "user/ coaches have shifted to full-time positions campus friendly" and take in the athletic department. Helm said the a proactive role in the increase in athletic fees is to shift money university's direction. back to academics. Bunting Burleson Adams met with administrators last week to discuss the senators' concerns. He said administrators were willing to lower the fees 33 percent ($5). Adams also suggested not in­ creasing the low-option meal plan so resi­ dents of residence hall rooms with builtin kitchens would not have to foot an un­ necessary bill. Blimling said the $15 in­ crease in the Physical, Education, Recre­ ation, and Athletic Facilities will become a permanent increase.

Elections —*95 — Dates to Remember P mM mm Regulations break new ground in watershed protection Stacey Evans Reporter Appalachian State University will not be affected by changes in the new watershed laws according to Boone senior planner Wayne Herron. The North Carolina Division of Environmental Management developed regulations to change the current wa­ tershed laws. According to county plan­ ner Brent Graybeal, there have been no regulations to modify the law before. As a result of the new ordi­ nances, classifications for watersheds have been established. Areas are now classified as WS1-very strict through WS-5-less strict (WS means watershed). "Classification is determined by the amount of land already developed," said Graybeal. A watershed is the way water drains or runs out of a lake or stream into the land around it. "ASLTs main campus is not in the watershed or designated (critical) area" Herron said. This means the main water sup­ ply of campus doesn't lie in a critical area but a protected area. "A critical area is the area within a half mile of the watershed be­ cause if s closer to the source (water sup­ ply)" Graybeal said. ASU is in a protected area be­ cause it's located a half mile boundary of the watershed. ASU's main watershed is the Howard's Creek and Norris branches, not the Howard's Knob branch. The Howard's Knob branch lies within a dif­ ferent area. Both the Howard's Creek and Norris branches are classified as WS-2 because a large amount of developed land already exists. The classification of ASU's wa­ tersheds is based on existing develop­ ment. ASU's classification is because of the already large amount of land de­ veloped making regulations tighter. Howard's Knob also will not be affected by the changes unless Monte Greene changes the lot size. "If Monte Greene uses the lots for a single dwelling unit (one house or apartment building, etc.), then he is exempt from the ordinances," Graybeal said. However, the five lots that re­ main inside a critical area will have to comply with regulations if Greene de­ cides to divide the lots and change its size Graybeal added. The goal of the new ordinance is to regulate development possibly by zoning and control storm water drain­ age to prevent the pollutants from reaching and contaminating water sup­ plies, according to a news release issued by Watauga Planning and Inspection Commission. Into The Streets gains community support cational and environmental advocacy agencies. In getting "Into the Streets" to­ gether, he said he has contacted over 30 of these agencies and received 17 re­ sponses to total 33 projects. "Into the Streets is a starting point for coordinating group projects on a yearround basis," Johnson said "All those who participate will realize how they are able to use the ACT office to volunteer in the community in the future." Also, Johnson said, Boone Town Councilman Saul Chase asked the coun­ cil to move the date for the Boone Town Appalachian is published with support from Appalachian's Center for Student Involvement and Leadership.

One complaint students often voice is that health services should provide more free services. The health service fund is a step in that direction. So far, three student service organi­ zations have contacted health services about the fund. Dr. William Derrick, di­ rector of health services, will come talk to any group interested in contributing to the fund. Students and student groups should donate to this fund. It is a way to help bring down the costs of health care for students who cannot afford to pay for medical procedures. It also begins to ad­ dress some of the concerns students have about health services. The Health Services fund is one of those rare ideas that just makes sense any way you look at it. There is no negative argument to be heard. If a student wishes to contribute to the fund, he or she can. Otherwise, there is no pressure to do so. If you or your organization would like more information about this fund or how to donate to it, please contact Dr. William Derrick of Health Services at 262-3100.

Dr. Reichel said that it is important to focus not only on technology, but also tra­ ditional materials- a "multiple perspec­ tive." Over the past two fiscal years Belk Library has been able to meet these goals with generous funding from academic af­ fairs, the administration, and technical improvement funds that totalled around $1.4 million. million Some of this goes to staff salaries, maintenance, collecting, and development of resources.

Wl11 be J Hiding AIDS: Right or wrong Vanessa Urruela Columnist Six years ago Greg Louganis had a tough choice tc make. The swimmer ended up deciding not to tell the 1988 Olympics Committee that he was infected with the AIDS virus, fearing that he might be booted out. Louganis reasoned that it ws okay not to tell because his infection would probably not put anyone else in danger. Unfortunately, his reasoning proved wrong. In a preliminary round ———— dive, Louganis hit his head on the diving board while coming out of a tuck. His head was split open and his infected blood spilled into the pool. Louganis' hope that the dis­ ease wouldn't be a factor in his com­ peting was dashed. As a doc__ tor sewed up his wound, Louganis faced the choice again: to tell or not to tell. The second time is where Louganis went wrong. The doctor who stitched him up wasn't made aware of his exposure to the illness until last month. In midout bicycles; where do roller blades, skateboards, Mike Cleaves February Louganis not only revealed that he had been pogo sticks, and unicycles fit into all of this? infected at the time of the accident, but also that he is3 Assistant Editorials Editor There are other reasons to look coldly on this homosexual. law.

It was uioJSame eatery students have uw and love. s sf^nt a Assistant Vice Chancellor for Auxil­ iary Operations Lynda Stanbery, who used to be Assistant Director of Food Services, is well-versed in the history of the Sweet Shop. "The Student Union was built in 1967," said Stanbery. 'That space was just a vending room then. In the mid 1970s, it became a combination vending room and offered limited counter service. It was simply called the Ice Cream Parlor, to re­ flect the expanded service." "They only served hand-dipped ice cream at that time," said Ron Dubberly, Director of Food Services, who came to Appalachian in 1979. "In 1980 or '81 it was changed to the Sweet Shop, and the bakery and candies were added." Depending on the construction, the new Cascades Cafe will be opened in the new part of the Student Union in about a month. "It's going to take a while to open it," said Dubberly, "because the Cascades is to the point where they're doing the elec­ tricity, wiring, lighting^nd painting. Then they have to move in all the equipment." According to Larry Trivette, Director of the Student Union, the entire down­ stairs portion of the Student Union, in­ cluding the Pub, will be closed off alto­ gether. "We're shooting for an April 20 re­ opening date," said Trivette. "Our plans are to do some moving over Spring Break, and then begin demolition and Phase III construction." Remodeling will begin, which, accord­ ing to Dubberly, is scheduled to take 75 construction days. Until the downstairs portion of the old building is finished, the offices currently housed there will be operating out of the administrative offices of the new build­ ing. "The space where the Sweet Shop is now will become meeting space," said Dubberly. Regardless of the timeline, students will not go hungry. A short walk will put students within reach of food to nourish their hungry little bodies. However, as Joyce said, "It's more the place than what it has to eat." Farewell, Sweet Shop. You will be missed. tomers well enough that when they came in, she would have their drink ready for them and their food on the grill. "The service is always good and Marilyn always has a smile," said Thomas. What about the food? Boone Drug serves everything from burgers and fries to lasagna and all is delicious. They also have wonderful pies for dessert. Not only is the food as good or better than on campus, it is also less expensive. For lunch, a sandwich, fries and a drink, will cost you around six dollars including a tip. Many students may take advantage of Boone Drug, but more have yet to try it. Give yourself a change of pace and walk over to King Street for lunch. Their loca­ tion is ideal, and the service is quick enough to drop in between classes. You may agree with Thomas, who said, "Boone Drug has made my meal card obsolete." The job hunt continues Tiffany Lohman Assistant News Editor Spring is the time of year when jun­ iors and seniors rush around trying to find that dream internship or job. While some just scan the classifieds and hope to get lucky, some students will work to find work. Lonnie Jones, the manager of the Employment Security Commission, said students can stop in and use the comput­ ers at the office on Winklers Creek Road to locate job opportunities. The computer system can look up lo­ cal jobs, jobs in this state, national jobs, and federal jobs. The system is self-ex­ planatory and easy to use. All the user has to know how to do is read. The jobs are also accessible from the Internet. "After a student finds a listing they're interested in, they talk to one of our in­ terviewers and we tell them how to go from there," said Jones. Another resource for students on campus is the Career Development Cen­ ter. This office offers workshops on re­ sume writing, job search strategies, the Internet and other topics. The workshops are scheduled at different times each week Once you have located your dream job, the next step is to get through the interview and schedules can be picked up in the of­ fice in I.G. Greer. The Career Development Center also helps students get interviews through reg­ istering their resume on a job register. After the student attends an orientation workshop, they register their resumes on the computer. This register is viewed by prospective interviewers. The interviews are then set up through the Career Devel­ opment Center. Once you have located your dream job, the next step is to get through the interview. A few things to remember when interviewing are to keep good eye contact, speak clearly and slowly, answer questions promptly without stuttering or using "um." Dress appropriately and be polite. Also, it is good to make up a few prac­ tice questions and answer them. Try to narrow down what you think your inter­ viewer will want to know about you. Be prepared to answer just about anything about your strengths and weaknesses, abilities and what you could offer to the position. Never, when an interviewer asks you if you have any questions, say "no." Do research about the company you will be interviewing with, and have some ques- see Job hunt page 7 Scholarship honors former graduate Special to the Appalachian A reception hosted by Gov. and Mrs. Jim Hunt at the Governor's Mansion in Ra­ leigh highlighted efforts to raise $500,000 for the Sara W. Hodgkins Memorial Schol­ arship at Appalachian State University. Hodgkins, a 1952 Appalachian gradu­ ate, left her mark on the state as a music teacher, secretary of cultural resources, a member of the Appalachian State Univer­ sity Foundation board from 1972-76 and the university's board of trustees from 1989 unitl her death in 1992. More than $125,000 has been pledged to the fund which when fully endowed will support scholarships in Appalachian's School of Music. Hunt said Hodgkins never forgot her beginnings as a public school teacher. "She was a wonderful public servant," he said. 'This scholarship expresses what Sara Hodgkins was all about- believing in young people and their potentials." Appalachian's School of Music offers the bachelor of science, bachelor of mu­ sic and master of music degrees. It also offers a bachelor of music in music edu­ cation in cooperation with the Reich Col­ lege of Education. The music school has approximately 30 full-time faculty and 300 students majoring in its programs. The school is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music, an accreditation the music program has had since 1953.

ETSU shot an amazing 69 percent in the first half while the Lady Apps struggled to get things going offen­ sively. Things just continued to get worse for the Lady Mountaineers as Blocker contin­ ued her clinic on both ends of the floor. A pair of Blocker free throws at the six minute mark gave ETSU their biggest lead of the game at 76-52. Blocker scored a tournament record 39 points in the game. Through it all, the Lady Apps fought hard. Beth Kilby, in her final game in an Appalachian uniform, turned it on in the second half and scored eight of her 12 points after intermission. Hinton finished the game with 13 points and four re­ bounds and Merideth Thompson chipped in eight points and five boards. "You have to give credit to East Ten­ nessee," Robinson said after the contest. "They had a great game plan and took us right out of ours." The loss took nothing away from the great season the Lady Mountaineers had. Losing Kilby will be a great loss to the team on and off the court, but if this season is any indication, the Lady Mountaineers have a lot to look forward to in 1996. ^ Ppalachian State University's wresJ team charged through the Southern Lerence Tournament and won three in| jial titles and a share of the team title.

When asked about his reinsertion of Chad McClendon (who had four fouls) into the game with nine or ten minutes to go, Apke said "it was a bril­ liant coaching move," Fortunately, McClendon did not foul out. Through these comments and others, it was easy to see that ASU came into tour­ nament play with a laid-back attitude that helped them to a surprise finish in the semi­ finals where they fell to Western Carolina 74-64. As far as men's honors go, McClendon was named to the All-Tournament first team, with teammate Kareem Livingston named to the second team. Blocker runs rampant The best performance of the tourna­ ment would probably go to Deshawne Blocker. Blocker, the Women's Basketball Player of the Year, scored 39 points against the Lady Mountaineers in the women's semi-finals. Blocker scored 51 points in two games, which led her to the tournament's Most Valuable Player award. Joining Blocker on the All-Tourna­ ment first team was ASLTs Andreia Hinton. Melissa Davis was named to the second team for the ASU. Wrestling barn burner Andreis Hinton drives past an ETSU defender as the Mountaineers lose to ETSU.

Zullo will get an­ other chance next season, as he is only a junior, he should definitely be a confer­ ence leader. Brad Ginn, wrestling at 150 lbs for the Mountaineers also dropped a very tight match to a Keydet grappler, Jeremy Ingram 4-3. Ginn will also be back next year and the sophomore should be very hard to handle for the next two seasons. App senior Shomari Rozier returned to the conference finals once again, but this time he did not come away with the win. Rozier could not seem to find the form that took him to the NCAA Tournament last season. He sat out several matches this season with an injury. App's lone repeat champion is Seth Myerson. Myerson defeated Mocassin wrestler Chad Dennis 12-7 in the 177 lb class. Myerson, a junior, will return to the NCAA Tournament for the second time. Hopefully his past experience will be a plus for the Apps. Sights and sounds from the SC torney The most exciting competition of the weekend turned out being the wres­ tling action. In a close tournament, ASU found themselves behind VMI by a few points. In the final match, heavyweight Duke Howell found himself pitted against Hercules Ward of VMI. (No, this was not the WWF as the names might suggest.) In sudden death overtime, Howell fashioned a dramatic escape from Ward Ward was hanging on to Howell's foot for dear life, but Howell shook free to give ASU the win, and more importantly, a 99.5 tie with VMI for the conference crown. Seth Myerson, Mike Orris, and Howell all won their respective weight classes for Mountaineers. Reporter stunned Not to be melodramatic, but yes, this reporter was stunned. As I pillaged through media guides for every Southern Conference team in the press room at the Asheville Civic Center, I came across some­ thing strange. On the cover of the VMI press guide was a giant kangaroo. I also noticed the name "Runnin' Roos" tattooed across the top. Upon further investigation, it is now known that the tide of Runnin' Roos is only for the VMI basketball team. As if Keydets isn't bad enough. �Page 8 The Appalachian, Tuesday 14 Mar , ASU's Tennis team has a good break wining 6-1. One p.m. the next afternoon in Sports Editor Anderson, S.C.

The Spring tour ended Thurs­ day, March 9 when Appalachian played the College of Charleston. ASU took the match 5-2. 'This was one of the biggest wins since I came to Appalachian. It was a huge win for us," said Kernodle. "We had never even come close to beating them before." Kernodle singled out a few in­ dividuals who performed well through the trip. Zach Sharp who went 4-1 in singles matches and 32 when paired up with Manuel Zapatta in Appalachian's number one doubles team. "He played some of his best tennis since he has been here," said Kernodle. Freshman Greg May also had a good spring run. "He played ex­ tremely well, he played a great doubles match against the College of Charleston," said Kernodle.

Braswell, who had a relatively quiet night against Furman, broke out of his shell and racked up eight points and two assists at intermis­ sion In the second frame, the Apps built upon their first half momen­ tum and took a three point lead before Appalachian's all confer­ ence center McClendon collected his fourth personal. With McClendon on the bench, the team could have easily folded. Instead, the Mountaineers circled their wagons and played well as a team. Clint Crosston scored five points in McClendon's absence and the Apps suddenly found themselves with a 14 point cushion. A run by the Herd cut the leas to 56-64 with just over nine min­ utes remaining. This tempted Apke to take a gamble and bring back McClendon. ~ —"T " :.riT :)(•••>-.;; ,./j oiiT ' rb •<< 90 rri' fi FT "It was a brilliant coaching the break.

Last season marked the first time in 11 years the LA Lakers had a los­ ing season and did not make the playoffs. This, however is a new year and with a few changes, Showtime is back. The transition from the 1980's to the 1990's was very hard on the Lakers. The team of the 80's was getting old and instead of bring­ ing in some young guns to aid in the transition, they chose to sign veteran free-agents. Then it all fell apart. As some of the younger, more talented teams began to ma­ ture, the Lakers started slipping and found the going much, much tougher. Over what seemed like a few short seasons, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Michael Thompson, Magic Johnson, and James Worthy all retired. Byron Scott, AC Green, and Sam Perkins left LA for greener pastures. Fans began go­ ing to Clipper's games. Showtime was dead. Three years ago, the Lakers be­ gan working the draft, and since then have accumulated some fine continued from page 8 2-3 in doubles.

ASU Baseball 1-1-1 over break Kevin Robinson Reporter The Appalachian State baseball team won, lost, and tied in a 3game series against East Tennes­ see State in Boone at Red Lackey Field this weekend. The Mountaineers won 12-7 on Saturday, sparked by a 7-run third inning blitz. They were led by the pitching of Jason Crews and the batting of Shane Owenby and Scott Musgrave. Crews pitched a complete game, giving up six earned runs but striking out seven batters and walking only two. Owenby went 2 for 4 with four RBIs. Musgrave was 3 for 3 with three runs and one RBI. The East Tennessee State pitch­ ing improved for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader, however, and the Mountaineers lost 8-4. Buccaneer pitcher Jay Hensley gave up one run in the first six in­ nings, and Daniel Ball stopped a three-run seventh-inning ASU rally. Shane Owenby led the Mountaineers again, going 3 for 3 with three RBIs. The two teams fought to a 5-5 13-inning tie in the last game. The Mountaineers scored four runs in the fourth inning, but left 17 men on base. Garth Armstrong gave up just two earned runs in eight in­ nings. Matt Russell closed out the game with four scoreless innings and two strikeouts. Scott McDaniel went 2 for 4 with one run and one RBI. Appalachian is 3-11-1 this year. Grapplers In the final Championship Match, ASU trailed VMI and des­ perately needed a win. App heavyweight Duke Howell proved to be up to the challenge by de­ feating UTC grappler Hercules Ward 2-1. Howell gained revenge, having lost their regular season match-up. Howell will be making his first trip to the NCAA's. Appalachian completed its continued from page 7 come from behind march to tie VMI with 99.5 points. The tie was the first in the tournament's 41 year history. The Mountaineers will be com­ peting this week in the NCAA Tour­ nament. The grapplers could do quite well. A good showing at the nationals could do wonders for App's recruiting. Good luck.

Our platform clearly represents that our concerns are for all students." -Todd Finch Paschal, Finch Putting student government back into the hands of the students is one of the issues with which Student Government Association presidential can­ didates Paul Burleson and Billy Bunting are con­ cerned. If elected, they intend to create a student concerns liaison in the SGA cabinet. "This person will handle any problems a stu­ dent may have with an organization, a professor, or the like," Bunting said. "He or she would be a prob­ lem-solver." Increasing the circulation and improving the quality of the SGA newsletter is another way they plan to give SGA back to the students. "We would like to see it published more than once in a semes­ ter," Burleson said. "Also, we want to explain both sides of the issues, so students can make their own educated decisions." In addition, they said they will con­ tinue to meet with organizations after the cam­ paign, publish the SGA minutes in The Appa­ lachian, and have a president and vice presi­ dent report on university and Boone activi­ ties. Expansion of Mountaineer Escort is another issue they plan to address. They want to start paying workers in order to make sure service is available, and to expand the hours of op­ eration into the weekends. "We would like to see the escort service funded through the federal work study program," Burleson said. Environmental issues they plan to address include more recycling facilities, increased aware­ ness and preservation of campus beauty. "We would like to see rubber recycling con­ tainers on each floor in every residence hall," Bunting said. "Someone on that floor would be responsible for maintaining it." Burleson and Bunting also expressed their concerns for AIDS testing in the infirmary. "We have set up a plan to make testing more confidential by creating anonymous appointment cards," Burleson Expansion of Belk Library hours and services is one of the main concerns of Student Government Association presidential candidates Ray Paschal and Todd Finch. As an SGA off-campus senator, Finch started to seriously look into extending Belk Library hours last semester. "As of now, Belk Library is only open until midnight on Sunday through Thursday. [This] con­ flicts with those students who work late during these nights," Finch said. According to Finch, they would like to see the library stay open until 2 or 3 a.m. on Sunday through Thursday. In addition, Paschal said they will suggest that the library transfer all periodicals on to CD-ROM. Weaver, Martin "That way it would free up the entire middle floor," Paschal said. Some other concerns they have addressed A key concern of Student Government As­ sociation presidential candidates Darby Weaver and Robyn Martin is students' lack of input into student government and the university. Their plan to increase student involvement is called "Appalachian 2000." According to the plan, students will participate by answering surveys dis­ tributed to students in classrooms. Martin expressed her excitement about the plan. "Appalachian 2000 is a proactive plan that not only addresses growth concerns for the university, but also addresses the concern that every student on campus have an outlet for their voice," Martin said. Improvements in Belk Library is another concern of these candidates. Weaver said they would build support for increased library funding through monthly visits to Raleigh. "We are committed to building the legisla­ tive support in Raleigh needed to ensure that the library is allocated the funds it desper­ ately needs," Weaver said. Weaver also wants to create legislation in SGA asking funds collected from the centen­ nial campaign to be directed to Belk Library. "If the centennial campaign is expected to raise approximately $30 million for the uni­ versity, then certainly it is appropriate that at least 3 million be given to the library," Weaver said. In addition, they would like to restructure the library orientation tour, establish a student plan­ ning committee to advise on upcoming library reno­ vations, and create a quick referral system to aid in the location of materials. Diversity on SGA cabinet and senate is an­ other concern Weaver and Martin want to address. "Diversity will be one of the first things to get done," Martin said. "We want to try to represent all con­ stituencies on campus." Weaver gave an example of how they would advertise the cabinet positions.

Adams and Director of Stu­ dent Affairs April Farwell introduced a bill Tuesday in SGA Senate suggesting that members of the faculty pay for using stu­ dent facilities. Senator April Baucom sponsored the bill that asks faculty members to pay for the use of student support facilities such as the Quinn and swimming pool. Currently student fees pay for the entire $300,000 cost of running facilities like the Quinn. However, faculty and staff are allowed to use these facilities free of charge. Adams explained why this issue needs to be addressed. "My concern spurred from the recent increase in stu­ dent fees," Adams said.

"We have 1,000 on-go­ ing clients during the semester," said Donald Sanz, director of the Counseling and Psychologi­ cal Services Center. On average, the total number of students using the center's services are around 3,000. The top 10 most com­ mon therapy issues students face are: conflicts with relation­ ships regarding partners, fam­ ily, friends and roommates; de­ pression; development/transi­ tion choices and issues; stress; anxiety; grief/loss; self-esteem and sexual abuse. Eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia are fre­ quent problems students face. "Anorexia is a complex problem we deal with," said Sanz. "Bulimia is two times as common as anorexia." National statistics based on reports from other col­ lege counseling centers show a small percentage of college stu­ dents fighting these disorders but it does not mean more stu­ dents are not suffering from them. Others might not have been diagnosed with either ail­ ment. "Two percent of college students are anorexic and four percent are bulimic," Sanz said. "This is a national statistic of col­ lege counseling." Bulimia is also one of the 10 most frequent diagnosis of Appalachian's students, accord­ ing to a handout by the counsel­ ing center. Other frequent diagnosis are: depression, adjustment dis­ order (difficulty in relating to sur­ roundings), personality disorder (maladaptive in social situa­ tions), family conflicts, post-trau­ matic stress disorder (flashbacks from a past traumatic experi­ ence), marital problems, grief/ loss and alcohol dependence or abuse. The counseling center sees 25 percent of the Appala­ chian student population but the visitor amount varies. "Typically we see people short term, an average of four to five sessions," said Sanz. "Some students come longer." Sessions are confidential unless the student says otherwise or unless the student is putting himself/herself in danger. "We are legally bound not to divulge information and these records are kept separately from infirmary records," Sanz said. Students can walk in or make an appointment with six full time staff members, includ­ ing five psychologists and one counselor. The Counseling and Psy­ chological Services Center is free to students and staff. Suicide attempts not uncommon at ASU Stacey Evans one is attempting to kill them­ selves. *Tell other people as soon as possible. *Stay with the person trying to kill themselves - they are in danger. *Listen - encourage the person to talk you. *Urge the suicidal person to seek professional help and be supportive - show you care. Students are encour­ aged to contact the Counsel­ ing and Psychological Services Center as soon as possible if a friend or loved one is attempt­ ing suicide. Students may con­ tact the center during the day at 262-3180 or at 262-2150 (campus security) at evening emergency hours. Reporter Suicide can seem like a way out for some students going through difficult times, and it isn't uncommon at Appalachian. At ASU, around 40 seri­ ous attempted suicides occur each year. On average, two sui­ cides are successful per year. Suicide rates are higher among first semester freshman and graduate students. Warning signs for sui­ cide are: suicidogenic situations (situations concerning great loss, disappointment and/or trauma); depressive symptoms such as low energy, sad, sloppy etc.; verbal and behavioral warnings like "I want to die" and giving away possessions.

"We want to start by ex­ panding hours during exams and then during the crunch times, for example Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday," Bunting said. They want to promote campus safety by installing more blue light security phones and other programs. "We want to make sure that blue lights are put in the right places," Burleson said. They also want to see more light­ ing in places such as the Appala­ chian Heights parking lot. Other issues they plan to address include: improving infir­ mary/student relations, support­ ing an increase in parking, ex­ panding the all-you-can eat pro­ gram and improving food services, and creating a student discount card for area merchants. In order to promote di­ versity on their cabinet and in senate, they promise to advertise availability of the positions. "We intend to put signs in all residence halls, and send fly­ ers to organizations so we can get a diverse group of applicants so we can pick the best qualified," Burleson said. Bunting projected what SGA would look like if they were elected. "There will be a fair and equal representation of all stu­ dents in student government," Bunting said. Burleson believes that their relationship with administra­ tion will be excellent. "I think Billy and I will be very effective when talking to the administra­ tion," he said. Bunting is also confident they will work well with adminis­ trators. "We feel that the admin­ istration is willing to cooperate," Bunting said. "What the adminis­ tration needs is a president and vice president who will push them in order to achieve what the stu­ dents want.

Weaver said they want to create legislation that would ask there be no loss of parking because of construc­ tion. "We feel strongly that we have no further loss of parking due to construction on campus," Weaver said. "If we don't have a plan to create parking, how can we afford to lose any?" Other issues they sup­ port include increased recycling education programs, expansion of residence hall recycling, a gradu­ ation celebration and continued opposition to tuition increases. Weaver explained what she feels her relationship with ad­ ministrators would be. "We will work hard to bring the concerns of the students to the administra­ tion and see that they are ac-' knowledged," she said. V ® - ei ganizations representing a wide range of constituencies, and in­ viting their leaders to become a part of SGA," she said. They also plan to estab­ lish a diversity awareness week which would end with a festival of diversity. "Awareness week will feature people speaking to raise awareness on diversity," Martin said. "The festival will have cul­ tural events with different groups sponsoring them." Weaver explained their plan to have an international stu­ dent celebration. "This will help integrate them into the campus community," Weaver said. " We want to bring all kinds of groups together." Martin explained that in­ creasing diversity in the faculty is another key concern of theirs. "Bringing everyone to­ gether to work toward diversity is our goal," Martin said. "We must let faculty and administra­ tion know that we are ready to see extended efforts on this issue.

Students' ability to easily access computers is another key concern of Paschal and Finch. They would like to see computers sold at the bookstore with the op­ tion of a lease/purchase agree­ ment. Also, they would make SGA minutes and course syllabi avail­ able o n the VAX. "Com­ puters are the wave of the future," Finch said. "Students should be able to have this technology." In addition, they would like to see computer data ports in all residence hall rooms and estab­ lish a 24-hour study and computer room in the Plemmons Student Union. Paschal and Finch also expressed their concerns for a di­ verse and qualified SGA cabinet. "We want to create a position for Multicultural Affairs on the cabi­ net," Paschal said.

"We want to seek out a more diverse cabinet... but we will not sacrifice quality," Paschal said. Environmental issues are also a concern of Paschal and Finch. "We want to establish a re­ cycling education program that would be a part of freshman semi­ nars and the orientation process," continued from page 1 Finch said. They would also like to establish a"two-for-one tree deal," where the university would be re­ quired to plant two trees for every one removed. Increased health services for students is another concern of these candidates. They explained there is a need to hire a nurse prac­ titioner to deal specifically with women's health concerns. Also they said they would support hir­ ing a nutritionist for students, and create nutrition guides for all food services on campus. Another issue they wish to address is the current advising sys­ tem. They want to establish an advising contract system. Students would sign an agreement with their advisors that would guaran­ tee they graduate if the advisor's plan is followed. "If an advisor is going to advise they should know what they are doing," Finch said. Other issues they are con­ cerned with include reviewing the prices in the Market and book­ store, opposing tuition increases, establishing campus clean-up days, and expanding the Moun­ taineer Escort service. "We know the issues on campus," Finch said. "Our plat­ form clearly represents that our concerns are for all students."

Beware the Internet's dark s What about these platform While the on-line system is hot; it can be dangerous goals? Jason Wilkinson Election time is one of hope every individual hopes to be the ultimate in­ formed voter that picks a candidate that will make a true difference. More importantly, and just as unre­ alistic as the above comment, it is also a time of promises promises that are made by the candidates we so closely scrutinize. Are these promises for real, or are they hollow? Either way, The Appalachian feels that these promises and platform goals are the key to getting elected, so we thought we'd give all three of the SGA presidential and vice presidential can­ didates a few last-minute ideas to ensure more votes. Please take heed, because these could easily sway the masses in your favor. 1. Fix the ice machine in the Gold Room. Getting a glass of ice should not | be the awful experience it is now. Eithey,propose that the ice machine be re­ paired so that it does not spray the user, or call for bigger cups to be used instead of the small wannabe-fancy ones. 2. The library is a hot platform goal, and we have something else to focus on. Switch the exit and entrance doors they are backwards by bad design. If studies were done, it could be shown that most students instinctively stay in the right lane when entering into a twolane situation (kind of like when driv­ ing). 3. Make sure the food court has the correct lids for their cups. Students should not have to go through the daily struggle of never being able to find the right one to fit. 4. ACES proved that some stu­ dents support a more beautiful Appa­ lachian, so do something about the socalled fountain in front of Sanford Hall. It needs to be ... well, a fountain. 5. And while we're on fountains, fix the water fountain outside The Appa­ lachian office. We have worked hard to cover your campaigns, so do us a favor. 6. Offer to make slight Rankin Sci­ ence Building renovations. This could include signs or markers so students, especially freshmen, can weave their way in and out of the labyrinth safely. So there it is. The candidates cannot go wrong if they will adopt some of these goals for their platforms it is not too late for some minor adjustments. These are hard-hitting issues that are real to students. If you really want to make a difference, and we know you do, make promises that students want to truly see kept. demic faith on the mighty shoulders of ding, mushing, or whatever it is / caffeine. currently being called ...why they / / , Most folks have heard of the Internet. don't just say "playing games" I'll / All the big magazines have recently had never know), but this business of / / 11 articles in some form relating to the "net," g a m e playing is w h e r e it be- / / jt as it is called by us hipsters.

By look­ ing at my prescription sheet, I no­ ticed that there were three doctors names in the bottom corner. After reading the names, a stroke of bril­ liance overwhelmed me: there are only three doctors that serve ASU. Three doctors to tend to hundreds of patients a day. They have the in-patients, the out-patients, and the appointments to attend to. physician or two would certainly ease the pain. I know that there are students out there who feel the same way as I do, and worse, about the situation. Although my patience was growing thin as I waited, I was able to keep my com­ posure. Others in the waiting area seemed almost hostile as they watched the clock turn slowly for­ wards. The infirmary should be commended for their work. The staff is professional and organized. At times you may feel like a number and not a name, but for the most part, I was satisfied with the service. We as students may have a greater tendency to get sick because of where we are. Some of us may not eat as well as we used to, as far as nutrition and health are concerned. We live and are active around hundreds of people, and germs spread quickly around the campus. Try to eat well, and if you get sick, rest, and do what the infir­ mary tells you. In other words, when you go to Food Lion, pass up on that Busch Light special and buy some orange juice. "I went. I waited. I waited a little more, and I walked out with a little white paper bag filled with Tylenol and Amoxicillin." ASU needs more physicians. Stu­ dents do not have the time to sit in the infirmary for half of the day. Although society at times may characterize students as a group of slackers seeking degrees, the majority of us have busy schedules that can't sustain a three hour in­ firmary visit.

The run-down Varsity Gym is an eyesore. We need a modern facility as an on-campus landmark we can be proud of. Appala­ chian cannot grow in the future with their outdated facilities. My high school gym is nicer. My brother and my sister graduated years ago, and I graduate this May. I wish I could invite them to a ceremony held in some­ thing other than that warehouse we call Varsity Gym. A convoca­ tion center could bring back some spirit that has been lost at Appa­ lachian. We need the money more than other schools- if we don't use it to our advantage other schools will pass us by. A good example is ECU- look at their new facility and how it has brought back some spirit to a traditional football school.

The article is a factual state­ ment about our fraternity here at ASU. It is not statistical in nature as was stated in the letter. The fact that 1) we were founded by a West­ ern Carolina transfer student in 1989, is not a statistic. The next two facts that we stated contained numbers that were facts about our current stand­ ing as a group. The numbers were at no means to be used as a statis­ tical datum. 2) We have initiated 56 brothers since then. 3) We now have 20 active brothers this semes­ ter, as well as12 alumni in the area. Number four, which you re­ ferred to the most, is a fact that was obviously misinterpreted. 4) We are a heterosexual group of men that wish to affiliate ourselves with the ASU IFC in the near future. Since you have brought this to our attention, we should, in order to be politically correct, have said that we were a group of men that have all types of backgrounds. It is not our concern if a brother is black, white, American, Asian, heterosexual, or homo­ sexual. The purpose of the fraternity's brotherhood is to pro­ mote the elements of brotherhood in an environment free of discrimi­ nation. The true spirit of brother­ hood exists in very few places in today's troubled world. We firmly believe that we of­ fer as fine an example of brotherly spirit, cooperation and devotion as can be found anywhere. This does not exclude anybody of the male gender. Being a Pi Lambda Phi brother does not mean that we are expected to surrender any of our legal or social rights, personal ties, or moral beliefs. Our status as an individual changes only in that we have accepted a new responsibil­ ity. Number four's purpose was to separate us from another fraternity that is similar to our name, but different. The other fraternity is based on the fact that you can be a homosexual, or one who is will­ ing to accept homosexuals, and is different from ours in one major way. We accept all men. 5) We are by no means preju­ dice, and we welcome the addition of any man of integrity regardless of race or creed. It is true, and a fact that we stand behind as a brotherhood. If you or anybody have any questions please call 2642625. We will be happy to answer any questions that you have. Michael T.

"ALEO presents students with the op. gtunity to explore their leadership styles 1,) capabilities in a different way than i ey're used to," said Quinn. Students are confronted with chaljies different from those they may face their day-to-day lives, and the entire ;ogram is based on the belief that "ev, individual is fat mores capable than I y1 • t ,r.iv!' *" ** ey first believe. The activities in the program, which -jge from traveling and camping in the •lierness to rock climbing to a solo extience, are designed to give students the portunity to explore themselves as well .low they interact with others. This is ALEO's fourth year. Each year, e program is held in a different loca- tion. The first year's location was Grand­ father Mountain and Little Lost Cove Cliffs. " W e didn't use the tourist trails on Grandfa­ ther," said Quinn. "We did a 'rock scurry' in­ stead, climb­ ing up the rock face where there were no trails." Mount Rogers, the highest peak in Virginia, was the site of the sec­ ond expedi­ tion, and the third year found the group in Linville Gorge. This year's loca­ tion, however, is still a surprise. Details about the trip's activities are kept closely guarded, because Quinn feels the experience is more effective that way. "We want participants to deal with the situations as they arise," said Quinn. This from-the-hip approach makes dealing with conflicts and problems easier when students are faced with them in their capacities as leaders on campus. Rich Campbell, Outdoor Programs' together. So many campus organizations often have the same ideas, but just can't get together to implement them. This pro­ gram gives them the opportunity to work together and helps increase com­ munication between the groups." Quinn agrees, calling it a "seed effect." "By having an impact on 12 dif­ ferent leaders, you're planting a seed," said Quinn. "We end up serving a larger number of people by serving the 12, because they're going back implementing what they've learned, and giving others the chance to learn by example." Some of the groups who have benefited from this course include SGA, Student Ambassadors and the Phi Beta Lambda Business Fra­ ternity to name a few.

In Boone, Espresso News fills this bill but with Boone style. When approaching the small cafe on Howard Street, hidden behind Boone Drug, you will instantly feel as though you've stepped back in time. I always get the feeling I will see a James Dean look- alike sitting at the bar, looking through the thick plate glass over a cup of five cent joe. If this is what you feel as well, prepare to be surprised. "We are not as intensive as a full book store cafe," said owner Mark Debroder. He feels as though he is providing a laid back atmosphere for conversation up front, and reading in back. They have an open policy about the magazines they carry. Feel free to browse through one as you sip an espresso. "We are still kind of feel­ ing things out," said Debroder, "but we are get­ ting the business of locals and quite a few students." They provide a nice relaxed atmosphere for studying, and easy access for an after­ noon break. Debroder lived in Cali­ fornia for a while, and cof­ fee houses were a given, which he felt was perfect for students. After managing a bookstore cafe in WinstonSalem, he got the idea to put one in Boone. His dreams culminated on Oct. 14 of last year. Also in Boone, just off (photo by John Lane) campus on King Street, is the outdoors," said Mclntyre, "but it gave me experience without putting too much stress on me mentally or physically. You don't have to be a skilled outdoorsperson or hiker to enjoy the trip and get a lot out of it." Like all Outdoor Programs trips, the ALEO is led by OFs highly-trained staff. Brent Cochran and Quinn are regular lead­ ers of ALEO, and some other student tripleaders are alsb involved. Unlike other OP trips, however, the ALEO provides a longer learning experi­ ence. Students who have been on day trips often say they wish the trips were longer, because they just begin to learn something and have fun with it when the trip is over. \\ "We get a lot of comments that the trips are too short," said Campbell. "The four-day experience allows us to expand on the things that we get to do on our regular day trips." ALEO participants can be either un­ dergraduate or graduate students who have completed at least15 hours and have a cumulative GPAofat least 2.5. Students should be in or committed to entering a leadership position in a university recog­ nized organization. 11 Applications are being accepted through Friday, April 7 in the Outdoor Pro­ grams office in the Student Union.

For three years now, they have been promoting exactly what the front window reads: "Coffee is the bever­ age of thoughts, dialogue, and dreams." Owner Greg Swedberg grew up around the Boone area, and when he re­ turned he was surprised to see that no cof­ fee houses already existed. He filled a much needed niche for himself. "It's definitely worked out better than what I expected," said Swedberg, "but we had a lot of support almost instanta­ neously." Despite the tremendous trend cycles they have encountered, Swedberg finds now that he likes the diversity of custom­ ers, and stays on a very friendly level with the regulars. There is a spot on the ceiling for regu­ lars to bring in and hang their own mugs. This will save you twenty cents a cup! Most customers are students or locals, but due to their location, tourist traffic through the doors have increased lately. The students play a large roll in beansTalk. Unlike most cafes, the art on the walls is not on consignment, but stu­ dents displays. "They are decorating my wall. They are doing me a favor," said Swedberg. But if one sells, then the cafe is showing sup­ port for their supporters. Student groups perform as well, which allows beansTalk to offer a wide variety of entertainment. They have live jazz and acoustic acts throughout the week. As for which I enjoy most of the three in the area, it depends on the mood.

That man is Forrest Gump. The ultra smash-hit movie received an astounding 13 nominations. He's bound to win some­ thing. Before I begin my picks for this year's Oscars, I have to make a confession. I have no idea what I'm doing, and I haven't seen most of the nominated movies. Whew! I am so happy I got that off my chest. Now - onward with my predictions. Best music score and original song will go to "The Lion King." Why? Hans Zimmetis score is king of the mountain. Plus, three of the five nominated songs are from "King." The winner will be "Can You Feel the Love Tonight." They should just rename these categories "Best Disney Stuff of the Year." Best sound and sound effects editing will go to "Speed." After hearing this movie, you'll never ride public transpor­ tation again and feel safe. Best visual effects will without a doubt go to "Forrest Gump." These guys made Forrest meet JFK and erased Gary Sinise's legs. They deserve a box of Oscars . . . and some chocolates, too. The Oscar for art direction should go to "Pulp Fiction," but it wasn't nominated. So, it will go to "Interview with the Vam­ pire." Loved those coffins! The award for cinematography will go to "Forrest Gump." America's favorite son would never have looked so good if it wasn't for this. The prize for best editing will go to "Pulp Fiction." The editor intertwined three stories into one fast-paced, mixedup two-and-a-half hour extravaganza. Adapted screenplay will go to "Forrest Gump". Every other word in this movie has made its way into our pop culture. T he best line of the year? "Stupid is as stu­ pid does." Original Screenplay will definitely go to Quentin Tarantino for his brilliant "Pulp Fiction." Every word in this movie sizzled on the mouths of the actors. A fabulous story. The Oscar for best supporting actress will most likely go to Dianne Wiest for her much-praised performance in "Bullets Over Broadway." The best supporting actor will be Martin Landau for his portrayal of Bela See Oscar page 10 �The Appalachian, Thursday 16 March Oscar Lugosi in "Ed Wood." Samuel L. Jackson has an outside and much deserved shot for his part in "Pulp Fiction." The race for best actress is up in the air. However, when the chips fall, I think Jodie Foster will win her third Oscar for her fabu­ lous work in "Nell." The best actor race is also tight. However, I'm willing to bet that Tom Hanks will make it two in a row with his much beloved performance in "Forrest Gump." He should take a year off and give somebody else a chance. The best director Oscar will go to Robert Zemeckis, the man who gave us "Forrest Gump." After years of churning out hits like "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," he deserves it. I'm pulling for "Pulp Fiction" director Quentin Tarantino. The winner of the best pic­ ture? Can you say "Life is like a box of Oscars?" There's no doubt about it. Oscar loves "Forrest Gump" as much as America does. So, the story of a simple man will continued from page 9 win the most coveted prize in Hol­ lywood. I wish "Pulp Fiction" would win it, but what do I know? That pretty much sums up my guessing game for this year. Whether or not I'm right remains to be seen. Send letters to ASU Box 9025 Coffee continued from page 9 could just as well drink a double latte over music and chess at beansTalk. How do the owners feel about their proximity? Swedburg said, "Espresso News has created a 'li­ brary' cafe which is something that was needed. But as far as competi­ tion, there really is none."

ASU's Musgrave a hot commodity Kevin Robinson Reporter Scott Musgrave almost didn't come to Appalachian State. After this year, he may leave. Musgrave, a 6'2", 195-pound lefthanded pitcher/outfielder for the Moun­ taineers, had plenty of choices after high school. In his senior year at Princeton High ("way down east," according to Musgrave) he was 12-1 and batted .379, leading his team to the 1992 North Caro­ lina state championship. Not only did lots of colleges recruit him, a few pro teams scouted him as well, both for his batting and his 88-mph fastball. "San Diego looked at me a lot," Musgrave says. "I could have signed out of high school, but my parents wouldn't have let me go whether I got drafted or not." Still, Musgrave came to Appalachian, knowing that once a player goes to col­ lege he has to wait until he turns 21 or becomes a junior before he is eligible for the draft. He said he came to ASU be­ cause he knew he would play his fresh­ man year. "I had a lot of offers, but I knew I'd get to play right off the bat up here." His decision paid off. He pitched his best game his freshman year against a great Georgia Southern team. Appala­ page 13 chian lost that game 2-0, but Musgrave pitched a complete game and didn't let the nation's leading home-run hitter get on base. Altogether, Musgrave says he is glad he came to ASU. "The weather sucks, our field is terrible, but I like it," he said. So far this year he is 0-2 as a pitcher, but that includes a no-decision against the Citadel. He left the game in the sixth inning with a 6-3 lead, and Appalachian ended up losing 7-6. Musgrave has fared better as a hitter this season. He is batting .348 (8 for 23) with six runs and two RBIs. Includ­ ing two walks, his on-base percentage is .400 (10 for 25). He is also having a good year in the field. He has not committed an error in four games as an outfielder and five games as a pitcher. So the question now is whether Musgrave will stay at Appalachian after this, his Junior year. He calls this year's squad "the best team we've had since Fve been here." Their 3-11 record may not seem to reflect that, but ASU has had four one-run losses. He thinks he can still do a lot more for the team, and he likes coach Jim Morris and his team­ mates. But the dream of the major leagues and the big paychecks is very inviting for the 20-year-old, just as it is for every other young player hoping to play pro­ fessionally. "I think after this year I'll get drafted," he said, "it will just be a mat­ ter of whether I want to go or not." Special to The Appalachian On Saturday and Sunday, April 1 2, the Blowing Rock Chamber of Commerce, along with the Blowing Rock Merchants Association, is inviting every­ one to participate in the Annual Blowing . Hock Trout Derby. For over 16 years the Derby has at­ tracted anglers of Ml ages from all °ver the High Country. These two days are a great only opportunity to not only kick off open­ ing day of fishing season, but also to win prizes and big money. Once a§ain, anglers will have the opportunity t0 natch one of these tagged fish, two Worth $200 and one at $100. While such lakes as Price Lake and Tr°ut Lake have been favorites in the Past, many prize winning fish have come from other public waters such as the Watauga River and smaller public streams. "This should be a wonderful Trout Season," said a high-ranking Derby offi­ cial. "We should see a great increase in the number offish in the pubic waters." In keeping with State Wildlife regu'ations, the Derby will begin at 6 a.m. on and Derby Rules sey that trout are eligible and will be judged and measured. Darryl Stevens Staff Writer The Sixty-Four are here. Today, hungry college basketball fans from coast to coast are about to be fed their just deserts. The NCAA tournament is only as far away as your next breath, and if you've ignored amateur roundball this season, it's time to make amends. Let's talk Atlantic Coast Conference chances at the crown. Wake Forest's top seed in the East Regional was a direct re­ sult of the Demon Deacons' performance in the basketball world's toughest confer­ ence (excluding the NBA's Eastern Con­ ference - maybe). The North Carolina oyals who are upset about this, and the Heels' number two seeding in the South­ east, need to face the facts: potential is potential. But hey, UNC only lost the ACC championship, remember? The year is not finished yet. If they deserved that One seed, they'll avenge themselves by riding that abundant talent to Seattle. The tendency is to dub Coach Dave Odom's squad overachievers, but this team is a good one. To base their success on past shortcomings is useless. All that matters is now, and right now Wake is the hottest team at tourney's dawn. The 1995 Randolph Childress Show­ case may or may not last into the tourna­ ment, but he has proven that he's prime time with a hand in his face. Think any NBA eyes were opened this weekend in Greensboro? Guess again. This guy has done it all season long - he's no hidden gem. As for Dean Smith and Co., they have the perfect justification for the overtime loss to Wake Forest on Sunday. Rasheed Wallace's ankle sprain in the second half obviously hurt UNC's cause at crunch time, and that may have cost them the game. Then again, it may not have.

Most athletes in modern times just stagger in place for 15 or 20 sec­ onds, not gaining too much for­ ward ground, until the other team buries him. Darryl Stevens Staff Writer What do you miss about child­ hood? I miss G.I. Joe and Trans­ former toys, jackets with 57 use­ less zippers on the outside, the chicken pox, and city league sports. But most of all, I miss roller derby. You can't have forgotten about roller derby. It's that sport where a dozen people in grosslooking jumpsuits, helmets and el­ bow pads skate around a minirink, cramming each other into the outside railing for points. Roller derby is a shady cousin to profes­ sional wrestling. If that doesn't sound like a winner, nothing will. If auto racing and the 4x400 relay had a baby, this would be it. Roller derby also revived the lost art of juking. Faking somebody out of their shoes is a talent that fans just don't appreciate anymore - a skill to which no one dedicates himself.

FLIGHT DELAY Michael Jordan's written statement to the press reads some­ thing like, "the baseball strike has hampered my ability to hone my skills on the field." Please. You can fool some of the people all of the time, but you can't . . . well, who cares how that line actually goes. The bottom line is that Jordan's imminent return to the NBA likely has little to do with the strike. Is he kidding us? This may be a misplaced notion (it wouldn't be the first or the last on my part), but it's just possible that Jordan has found the strike to be the perfect excuse to go AWOL. His competitive streak is secret to no literate person. The fierce card games, the trips to ca­ sinos, the golf contests ... we all know about his thirst for sport. To be the best in anything, especially a sport as popular in today's world as basketball, takes a serious fire inside a person. That's probably the reason Air is coming back (excuse me; MAY BE coming back, hardy-har). As one reporter diplomatically puts it, Jordan's not much farther along with his baseball than those re­ placement players, and we've all known at least one person who quit something because they weren't among the best at it. The worst part of all may be that, in three years or so (when he will re-retire), some of Jordan's colleagues in the NBA could over­ shadow him on the hardwood. So what happens then, when he can no longer dominate? Golf.

"We really wish it was next week, but we're hoping the student union will be com­ pleted by mid-April." "There is still a lot of work left to be done." said Dubberly. "The reason we're hav­ ing to close down the Sweet Shop on Friday is that we have five days to get out of the space be­ fore contractors are scheduled to begin renovations. We're doing this to make sure that the project isn't held up anymore." Amy Noble, a senior and the Student Manager of the Sweet Shop, said the full-time employees will be placed into dif­ ferent positions before students return from spring break. As for the part-time stu­ dent employees, Noble said they have two options: to transfer to other food service locations on campus or contact the Student Coordinator's office to find an­ other job within Food Services. Danielle Sarine, fresh­ man and a part-time employee, said when he found out Hiesday, "I had no clue that they were clos­ ing it (the Sweet Shop) so soon." "I'm really going to miss the Sweet Shop when spring rolls around," said sophomore Nikki Jacob. While some students are lamenting over the fact that they will be without the Sweet Shop for a few weeks, some are able to see the bright side of the situa­ tion. "Although I'm worried about the number of hours I'll be able to work now, I'm really ex­ cited about the fact that Cascades Cafe will be opening soon," said Emily Ropp, a freshman who works for the Sweet Shop. 'The new place is going to look very modern compared to the Sweet Shop we have now. I can't wait!" n.

Sweet Shop closing: a sour turn of events Gone are the days of reading a news­ paper while drinking a cup of coffee, hav­ ing an ice-cream cone, or eating a sand­ wich at the Sweet Shop. As of Friday, March 3, the doors to the Sweet Shop will be closing, due to construction. The next time the doors to the Sweet Shop open, they will be opening in the new part of the student union, known as The Cascades Cafe. "When will this be?" you ask. Good question. Unfortunately, it's also a question that no one seems to be able to answer with any certainty. Ron Dubberly, the director of Food Services, says the Sweet Shop will reopen in mid-April "hopefully." This, of course, cannot be guaranteed because we are waiting on things such as electricity, wir­ ing, lighting, painting and equipment. Perhaps we should mention that the same people in charge of building the stu­ dent union are the ones we will wait on to get this done. Now, when was the stu­ dent union originally scheduled to be com­ pleted? There is some consolation, however. The Gold Room will be serving readymade sandwiches beginning March 13. That's all well and good, but there will still be no place to buy ice cream or yo­ gurt. To serve those items, continuous running water is needed as well as a large space to house the freezers. Unfortu­ nately, there is no place available which meets those qualifications. Dubberly said that the sweets usually purchased in the Sweet Shop are already available through other places, such as Sugar & Spice in the Food Court. That may be true, but the big picture is miss­ ing in that logic. Most people go to the Sweet Shop not just for the food (although the ice cream served there has become somewhat of a mainstay of The Appalachian staff), but for the atmosphere. The Cafeteria and the Food Court hold a lot more people. More people means more noise. The university should have waited to start construction until The Cascades Cafe was ready to open. Fine time for the con­ struction workers to start rushing. All-in-all, the closing of the Sweet Shop is a travesty not just for those of us who spend a lot of time in the Student Union, but for all students. Poor planning has led to a situation which will be detri­ mental to students as well as the University's purse.

TANNINE APPAIACAA/A/V SA/VDS AE 40WAGHMA Checking out the job market To the Editor: Jennifer Spiess' column, "Checking out the job market" (Feb. 23) undermines the work ethic of all students in general, es­ pecially those who are paying for their own tuition. I personally have been employed in many dif­ ferent types of jobs since I have been a student both high school and college. I have worked in fast food restaurants (as a waitress/server), jobs that require dress codes, and jobs that pay commission. Ms. Spiess' comments regarding these types of jobs are demeaning. Her comments are also incorrect. For instance: in commission jobs you are generally given an hourly rate or commission (whichever is higher); there is nothing wrong with wearing a uniform or dress­ ing up for your job; with fast food there are a lot of opportunities for advancement; and when waitressing or working in a fancy restaurant you may only make $2.13 per hour (on av­ erage), but you also make tips — which you receive that shift in cash. There are many other ben­ efits to these types of jobs, and you can gain a work ethic that cannot be gained in a job you slack-off in. What are future employers look­ ing for in potential employees, la­ ziness or a hard work ethic that reflects well on the employee and the organization as well?

The girls participate in a variety of projects with the help of their advisor, Marian Edwards. The club originated approximately four years ago, when a group of 15 young African American women decided to set up an organization to assist with campus and community needs. The club received its charter on October 22,1991. Today, the young women work con­ sistently throughout the year with the Hospitality House. They even took on the ' \ difficult task of cleaning the building in order to provide a more comfortable at­ mosphere for the less fortunate. The Or­ der also contributed to the community by participating in the Walk America program for the March of Dimes earlier this year, and have worked with the Headstart Pro­ gram for children. The Secret Sister program is one which the girls take a special pride in. This program is an activity designed to promote self-esteem and accomplishment to kindergarten and first grade students. "We work with kids who have disci­ pline problems," said the Order's presi­ dent, Felicia Fluid. "We each work with one child, and talk with them about their problems and basically just help them to feel good about themselves." At the end of the program, the chil­ dren are given small treats from the girls. Since upholding high academic and moral standards is part of this organization's goals, the Secret Sister pro­ gram is not the only program the Order of Black and Gold gears at giving kids in the community self-esteem. The women are also working on what is known as the Super Star program. The Super Star program will take place through Harden Park Elementary School. "We'll be working with first and second graders," said Fluid. "We're going to talk about sharing and feeling good about themselves and others." see Order page 7 Before you go, some things you should know John Lane Assistant Features Editor Why drive 24 hours to arrive at a spring break destination knowing there will be no beach waiting when you arrive? Be­ cause you could end up out west, and have some Texas-sized fun while you're there. Austin, Texas National Geographic said, "There are three kinds of people in this world: Those 5PRIMC5 who know Austin and love it; those who BREAK want to go there and haven't; and the poor belighted souls who don't know what they are missing." Why would a college student looking for a good time over spring break heed this? The answer is simple; there is a lot more fun there than at any beach. The average age of residents of Austin is around the mid20s, and the University of Texas is there which has around 50.000 students. So finding others your age, and discovering where they go and what they do for fun, shouldn't be a prob­ lem. Austin gives bar hopping and clubbing whole new defini­ tions, and the place you will find the people you want to see is on Sixth Street. Out of the 100 or more Austin clubs and bars, most are congregated here. None are expensive, some boasting 50 cent cover charges and drinks, and you are sure to find one that fits your taste. Most of the clubs offer live music, and whether you want to two- step to a country band or sit back and relax with some jazz, you'll find it on Sixth Street. They offer blues, reggae and rock as well. When the night clubs and bars aren't the first order of busi­ ness, you will find plenty to do with your days as well. First of all, it is the state capital, so the archives of the state are housed in an Austin museum, and Texas easily has one of the richest histories of any state. Further, in true Texas fashion, the capital building itself is the biggest of the 50, and it's an impressive sight.

Continuing the momentum that the vic­ torious cross country team had started this fall, the indoor team repeated their 1994 indoor victory with a thorough thrashing of the rest of the conference. The top three team scores tell the tale of the meet, a magnificent showing of ASU prowess (ASU, 136, ETSU, 92, VMI 89). The first day of the two day meet was a mixed bag of performances for most every team. As ETSU qualified a bunch of their sprinters, ASU was left with only one finalist in a track event shorter than the 800m. ASU's sprint hopeful, Jason Dalton, pulled an already strained ham­ string in the preliminaries of the 55m dash. The ASU squad also had to watch other teams rack up valuable points in the events in which the Mountaineers had entered no one - long jump and shot put. While spirits may have dropped tempo­ rarily, they were quickly uplifted with an ASU 1st, 2nd, 3rd sweep of the 3000 meters. Tom Holland took the lead from the first steps to the tape, carrying a trail of other cross country types. Just steps behind Tom's 8:26 win was the metro­ nome-like stride of Brian Miesch at 8:28. 1995 Southern Conference freshman of the year Sloth Peoples started his momen­ tous weekend in third place at 8:36. With the points from the 3000, and the second place distance medley re­ lay team, ASU was in the lead after the Friday events, but the majority of the meet remained to be determined on Saturday. National Qualifier Rich Grant got the team's momentum flowing with his repeat as S.C. victor in the 351b. weight. ASU's sizable pole vault squad then proceeded to take the majority of points in the vault. Todd Poremba led the team with his 2nd place, 15T" vault. Just under him were the 14'01" vaults of Jeff Fitzgerald and Chad Smith in 4th and 5th place respec­ tively. The Apps' other national qualifier, 'Poose' Johnson furthered ASU's field dominance with an outstanding double; a victorious 51' triple jump, and a second place high jump of 6'8 3/4". Also in the high jump was Mike Kroeger, 6th with a jump of 6'6 3/4". While Clarence Sutton's 5th in the 55m hurdles was impressive, ASU really showed its dominance in the longer events. The 800m crown was handed to Jon Austin for the second year in a row. The S.C. record holder in the event led his opponents closely but confidently. His 1:54 put him just inches in front of sec­ ond, and two seconds in front of team­ mates Garson Hedrick in third and Bob Mahoney in fourth. The victory in the mile was handed to yet another ASU man. Chris Huffstickler returned to form after hav­ ing raced both the 3000 and the 1600 leg of the DMR by winning in 4:17. His scorching last 800m left the field battling only for second place. With ASU already in the lead, the penultimate event arrived, the 5000m. ETSU was still in possible contention for the win before the event, but by one mile into the race, all hopes had dissolved into tears. ASU paraded their distance corps around the track in a first through fourth formation. Tom Holland accrued his sec­ ond win of the weekend as Brian Miesch received his second bridesmaid award. John Crumbliss and Sloth Peoples fol­ lowed in third and fourth respectively. Holland's dominance was outstanding, as he surged away from the field winning by nearly 20 seconds in 14:40. Coach Fereshetian was ecstatic with his team's execution of their plan to win. "The team's work ethic showed through at nearly every point in the meet," Fereshetian said. "I"ve never been so proud of an ASU Track and Field team as I am of this year's team." The team was not only strong in terms of performances, but also in a spirited bond, "The team re­ ally came together, showing total support for everyone who wore an ASU jersey." Fereshetian said. With this weekend's title, the team has found the second jewel of the triple crown of Southern Confer­ ence running. With only one stone to get, it is assured that the ASU track team will devote the next two months of their athletic lives to that pursuit. " l LadyAppswin season finale Zg third David Willis Reporter Akram Barghothi Sports Editor Appalachian's Women's indoor track team entered last weekend's Southern Conference Meet with the highest of ex­ •31 pectations. After all they had won the last seven, they also the conference meet with an impressive 21-1 mark. The lady Apps learned a cruel lesson in Johnson City, Tenn. - no matter what you have done in the past, you will al­ ways be judged by your latest perfor­ mance. The lady Apps finished third. "Uncommon mistakes and unexpected performances from athletes from other schools sealed the fate for the Mountain­ eers," said ASU Women's indoor track coach John Weaver. Despite the disappointing finish for the team, two Mountaineers picked up South­ ern tides. Precious Quire won the triple jump with a jump of 41"6'. Quire's jump set a new conference mark and a Provi­ sional NCAA mark. Quire's jump ranks her sixth among Di­ vision I athletes, and at the moment she has qualified for the national Champion­ ship on March 10-11. Nikki Harris finished second in the triple jump with a mark of 39"6l/4'. see Women's Track page 9 Appalachian's women's basketball team got back on the winning track with a 61-57 victory over the University of Ten­ nessee at Chattanooga Saturday afternoon in the Varsity Gym. App faced a much tougher Mocca­ sin team than they did on Jan. 30 in Chat­ tanooga. ASU won that game by 21, rip­ ping the Mocs 79-58. Since then the Lady Apps have played to .500 with a record of 4-4. The Mountaineers shooting only 39 percent from the field, took a 28-26 halftime lead. App went 9 for 23 from the floor and 9-14 from the free throw line. The Mocs held tough on 52 percent shoot­ ing. The Lady Apps shooting woes con­ tinued in the second half as they shot only 38 percent from the floor, but fortunately for the Mountaineers, the Mocs only shot 31 percent in the final period. Andreia Hinton continued her stel­ lar season as she led the Apps with 14 points and 9 rebounds, in only 26 min­ utes as she fouled out late in the second half. No other Lady Mountaineer scored in double-digits. , The Lady Mountaineers finished the Mountaineer Andreia Hinton scored 14 points in Appalachian's 61-57 victory game shooting 20 of 52 from the floor and over UTC. (Photo by Rhett Butler) see Lady Apps page 9 Apps get revenge in Lexington Stephen Hensley Assistant Sports Editor As the 1995 regular season draws to a close, the Mountaineers have found themselves suffering the agony of defeat more often than they have tasted sweet victory. With the finaJ road game Satur­ day at VMI, Coach Tom Apke had to be wishing for the team's luck to turn around before the Southern Conference tourna­ ment. Wish granted, Apps won 92-89. The three point victory avenges the 85-89 loss the Mountaineers suffered at the hands of the Keydets in Varsity Gym on Jan. 28. Furthermore, the win places the Apps at 7-18 overall and 4-9. The victory may not mean a whole lot as far as Southern Conference standings, but it may boost the confidence of the team going into the post season. The Apps got off to a strong start and took a 39-39 lead into intermisssion. Tak­ ing an advantage to the locker room is important to the Apps, having won only four of the 15 games in which they have trailed at the break. Appalachian built their slim half time advantage with good shooting. The Mountaineers shot over 55 percent for the game. The Apps were accurate from be­ hind the arc as well, hitting 43 percent of their treys. The Keydets struggled from the field, shooting under 43 percent including a meager 5-24 from long range. Appalachian did more than shodt well, though. The Apps played unselfish ball, racking up 21 assists, five apiece by Jun­ ior Braswell and Will Cook. Appalachian also pulled down 36 boards including a season high l9"6y*|Chad McClendon. Speaking of McClendon, the senior put it all on the line in his last road game scoring 31 points and hitting 15 of 16 At­ tempts from the free throw line. Will Cdok showed signs of his old self Saturday, scor­ ing 19 points off of 7-13 shooting includ­ ing 4-6 from three point land. Mr. Livingston I presume? You bet.

The first game of the doubleheader on Saturday featured ASU's Garth Armstrong throwing against Bulldog Britt Reames. Appalachian jumped out to an early lead, scoring a run in the first, but the Bulldogs came back in the third, knotting the score at one apiece. The game then turned into a pitching dual as both teams went scoreless for six innings, but ASU broke the monotony in the top of the ninth, scoring a single run and holding on for the win. Starting pitcher Garth Armstrong went 7 and 2/3 innings for the Apps, giving up one run on two hits and striking out seven. Dan Stutzman came on in relief, pitching 2 and 1/3 innings and picked up the win. App's DH Shane Owenby went two for four with a double and a triple, scoring one run. In the second game, ASU's Ja­ son Crews and Bulldog pitcher Brian Callahan both went the dis­ tance in another close battle. The Bulldogs jumped out to an early two-to-one lead, but the Apps tied the score at two, scor­ ing a run in the fourth. The Cita­ del pitcher Callahan, then buckled down and shut out the Mountain­ eers for the remainder of the game. The Citadel scored the winning run in the bottom of the seventh, ending the split of the double-dip­ per. On Sunday afternoon, the two teams met again, this time in a high scoring affair that saw each team go four pitchers deep into the bullpen. The Mountaineers jumped out to the early lead as Chris . : , \ - - , Rodriquez knocked in two runs in the second inning and Dave Young picked up an RBI in the third. The Bulldogs came back in the fourth and tied the score at three apiece when Dale Sistare left the park on a solo homer and Terrence Smalls singled in a run. App jumped out again, scor­ ing three more runs in the next two innings, but the Citadel came back once again, scoring three runs in the seventh on a Ken Lott single that scored two and another Smalls RBI. The Apps were once again held scoreless for the final three innings and the Bulldogs came up with a bottom of the ninth run, when ASU catcher Scott Garrett overthrew first base on a sacrifice bunt. Phil Falco was charged with his first loss of the young season and Donald Morillo picked up his second win for the Bulldogs. Joe Francisco, Brent Payton, and Dave Young all pitched in two hits for the Mountaineers. Payton left the park for the first time this season. Appalachian, 1-4 overall and 1-2 in the conference, will travel to Winston-Salem on Wednesday to take on Wake Forest.

Under the proposal, all stu­ dents would face a $50 increase in gen­ eral fees. Students who live on-campus will face an additional $120. The proposal includes a $15 increase in the general athletic fee. This increase, which was approved by the Student Gov­ ernment Association last year, will go partly to offset the $700,000 usually con­ tributed to the athletic fund by Academic Affairs, which they will be unable to con­ tribute this year. This additional funding will also be used to replace the astroturf, the track and to repair the visitor's section at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Miranda Blanton, daughter of Mr. Mrs. Joseph K. Blanton of Monroe, received the 1995 Mary Morrowias idna Richards Scholarship from the iorth Carolina Association of Educa-1 :0rs. Blanton, a junior elementary edu­ cation major at Appalachian State Uni­ versity, is one of four students receiv­ ing the $1,000 scholarship. The award recognizes the] recipient's promise as a teacher and NCAE's commitment to encourage the best and brightest students to enter the teaching profession. Blanton is a member of the NCAEI student chapter, Alpha Chi honorary society, Gamma Beta Phi honor and ser­ vice organization, and Kappa Delta Pi, the education honor and service frater- 1995-96 Proposed Fee Increases According to Dr. Gregory Blimling, vice chancellor of student development, unless the seating is repaired, the entire visitor's section will have to be condemned due to its unsafe condition. The student activity fee for the stu­ dent union will see a proposed $10 in­ crease. This will pick up the cost of addi­ tional energy use as well as the cost of hiring additional staff for the student union, which will nearly double in size upon the completion of current construc­ tion. The general fee for education and technology will be increased by $2. This fee, first introduced as a requirement by the UBC system in 1993-94, is used to upgrade computers and technology around campus. Prior to this fee, students had to pay individual lab fees for classes which used computers or other laboratory equipment.

Weaver chose off-campus Senator Robyn Martin to be her vice presidential running mate. "I asked her because she is a social work major andhas such good leadership qualities, and because she cares about people. She will be aneffective vice presi­ dent," Weaver said. Martin explained why she agreed to be on the ticket. "Separately we couldn't win, but together we make a wonderful team," she said. "We work well together." They are the third and final ticket to announce their candidacy. Ray Paschal, SGA director of state affairs, and off-cam­ pus Senator Todd Finch were the first to announce.

Despite the measure of prevention, some students have expressed concern they feel their rights have been violated. "I do not own a car, and my bike is my only transportation. I cannot believe the town is doing this.," said ASU senior Scott Muller, "I feel this is threatening to us as people with rights, and I, for one, cannot afford to be fined for not having a helmet," "If they are going to do this, they should give us helmets to wear," he said.

M o s t Appalachian students who were ques­ tioned about the new law expressed ap­ proval. "It's stupid not to wear one, but it's really the person's own problem if they wreck," said Jenney Whitney. Despite the town's decision, Appala­ chian is not planning to enforce the law on campus. "At this time, the university doesn't have a bicycle helmet law on the books," Director of Appalachian's Public Safety Roy Tugman said. "However, we do en­ courage allbicyclists that they wear a hel­ met when they ride." "If it's just around campus,Idon't re­ ally think you need 'one," ASU student Carrie Childres said.

The North Carolina State Legislature has proposed a 3.1percent increase in tuition I for in-state stu- I dents. They want to eliminate subsi- I dizing out-of-state students altogether. 28 students will travel to Raleigh Wednes­ day, March 1, according to Pas­ chal. He is also asking senators to help start a letter-writing cam­ paign. "We want to be proactive to this issue, not reactive," Paschal said. If anyone would like to get the addresses to their represen­ tatives, they are available in the SGA office, Paschal said. SGA recruits volunteers JoBeth Banks, Student Gov­ ernment Association chair of public affairs, spoke to SGA Senate about the upcoming vol­ unteer project "Into the Streets." She explained that "Into the Streets" is a project in which SGA helps bring clubs on cam­ pus and volunteer organiza­ tions in Boone together to help accomplish the goals set by these off-campus organizations. 1"We will be Isetting up a booth for I people not involved in Iany club who want to Ihelp," Banks said. Assistant Director of Hous­ ing Patrick Tutde spoke to SGA about the renovations being made to Newland Hall. Newland Hall is the build­ ing beside the Duck Pond and extending into Stadium parking lot. He said the building will have 134 spaces and the first floor of the extension finished by the beginning of next aca­ demic year. According to Tuttle, the rest of the extension, 168 spaces, will be ready later in the fall.

Appalachian prompdy replaced it with the soon-to-be-built Math/ Science building and the new ad­ ministration building. Both have received funding. So now enters the ACC. The J if Does this make the ACC all fine and dandy? Ponder this: Gov. Jim Hunt recendy came to Boone and promised to fight for funding for this new building with the tax­ payers' dollars. On Feb. 13, Gov. Hunt announced a proposed $200 million in state cuts. •' Included in the plan is a tuition hike of three percent in the university sys­ tem, both in and out-of-state stu­ dents. He also in­ cluded a $15 million cut in the university system. On top of this he still plans to send $50 million to the Board of Governors to be used for uni­ versity building projects. This is where the $20 mil­ lion for the ACC is supposed to come from. The Board of Gover­ nors will have the ultimate deci­ sion of where the money goes. The message sent is that Gov. Hunt can raise tuition, cut $15 mil­ lion from the university system, and then send $20 million up the mountain to support Appalachian athletics and graduation ceremo­ nies. We, as a university must truly "The Appalachian Convocation Center brings up memories of the short-lived Student Activities Center. " building's current plans reveal a structure similar to the SAC. This new building has answered three of the main problems students had with the SAC. 1) It will be built in the football parking lot instead of the Environmental Studies area above the practice field. 2) It will also house the leisure studies de­ partment rather than just a basket­ ball dome. 3) No student fees will be used to fund the building. justify this train of thought. Can we, with piece of mind, take $20 million tax dollars while the en­ tire system suffers a $15 million cut? Is a 10,000 seat convocation center really needed at this univer­ sity? Up until last year, convocation was held within each field of study. It was more personal andit did not take all day. Last year it was held in the football stadium and every­ one got wet. So the idea is that we "™'—~~ spend $30 million so that the chance of getting wet (very likely in Boone) will not happen at graduation. Does the bas­ ketball team need room for 10,000 people to come see them play? Appar­ ently not. They have a hard time as it is filling the current gym. What about the band PHISH, and how they sold out Varsity Gym last fall? 10,000 possible ticket buyers will surely make it more profitable for them to come back. This is surely a good reason to spend $30 million. The state leg­ islature, the Board of Governors, Appalachian administrators, and Appalachian students must make sure we are not wasting the taxpayer's dollar. One of the most pressing problems for students and citizens alike in Boone is the traffic and parking problem. Tearing apart the largest university lot adjacent to campus will not help. So now a committee is being formed to pro­ duce a solution. A parking deck is most likely to be the answer as "Does the basketball team need room for 10,000 people to come see them play? Apparently not." long as flat land and funds can be found. Where will the millions of dollars needed to build a parking deck come from? Will we go to the taxpayer once again or should we raise student fees? Maybe there is something more in the reasoning behind the ACC. Could the answer lie in the Focus on problem's causes 11: IS ArM // tor? them to do an article on it. This is a cultural event that would inter­ est many people. Idon't see why you couldn't even do one small article on it when you were add­ ing pages to the paper so you could write four articles per paper on ACES. The next thingIwould like to address is the New Music Fest that the club shows council is putting on. Three members of the council gathered all the information about past New Music Fests and about the bands playing the one on Feb. To the Editor: This letter is in response to Mike Cleaves' editorial "Still per­ plexed about parking?" (Feb. 16). To answer his question, I have to respond by saying yes. I am per­ plexed at how he suggests we con­ tinue the symptoms and not the causes. The cause for our parking problems is that their are too many cars. Why is it drastic not to allow freshmen to have cars? It used to be a school policy. When you live on campus you do not need a car anyway, and having a car at col­ lege should be a privilege and not Brachear mentions. In fact, one a right. To state it blundy, ASU already avenue open to a person wishing to report an incident of alleged has too many parking "lagoons" as sexual harassment is to contact the it is.

Could the town of Boone even handle this amount of growth? Boone is having a hard time now with12,000. We, as a university, must make sure we are not over­ stepping our bounds. We must not overlook the pos­ sible adverse effects of the ACC and not dwell on hotel revenues and tax money brought in from the coming concerts, rodeos, and mon­ ster truck pulls that a similar dome at a university in Arkansas has supposedly benefited from. Much more of the taxpayers' money will be spent in a time when the govenor, state legislature and citizens are calling for less spending and heavy cuts. In these times we must make sure we are meeting our needs and not just satisfying our desires. 24, and gave that to The Appala­ chian. They even offered to write the article for you,but we are hav­ ing a hard time getting it in there. What confuses me most about this subject is that you can write about bands playing at Klondike, a club that has nothing to do with Appalachian , but you can't do a write-up on an on-campus event put on by an Appalachian organi­ zation.

The opening statement said that the duty of an elected official was to protect the rights of those who elected the said official. This is a misguided and ignorant thought that must be corrected. An elected official's job is NOT to protect and serve those who voted for them, but rather to pro­ tect and serve EVERYONE.

This is college, meaning that everyone is here to either party, eventually graduate, or both. Graduation is the fun part, when you begin the search for your ultimate dream job, unless you plan to work the drive-thru at McDonald's or something. Nevertheless, if you're like me, sometimes you've got to pick up odd jobs along the way to keep you going. You know- pay for college, pay rent, pay Papa John... so, in case you're checking out the ads, here's a guide to the best and the worst. "GOOD"JOBS yourself (unless your store is in a bad neighborhood, and then you might end up a statistic). Anyway, there's usually lots of time to goof off, do homework, etc. Most stores have radios and some even have TVs, so with easy snack access, you've got all the comforts of home.

You won't have a pretty paycheck. -Jobs with dress codes Lots of businesses do judge you by the way you look and not how good you are at what you do. So tie-dye hair, long hair, no hair, nose rings and grunge gear won't get you a job at the Gap. You might have to settle for Rock'n Roll Emporium. As for uniforms, so much for being a non-conformist. Employ­ ers like to make you wear ugly uniforms for a reason- if you look dumb, people will think you are dumb, and no one will stick around and talk to you. There are many reasons a law such as this is unnecessary and unwanted. Most of these arguments revolve around indi­ vidual rights. No one would disagree that it is a bad idea for people to be safe, or to eliminate as many risks to personal health as pos­ sible, however, when a law such as this is passed it imposes upon individual rights. -Waittessing pr waitering Regardless of whether you wear a helmet Face it.

Boone is having a hard time now with 12,000. We, as a university, must make sure we are not over­ stepping our bounds. We must not overlook the pos­ sible adverse effects of the ACC and not dwell on hotel revenues and tax money brought in from the coming concerts, rodeos, and mon­ ster truck pulls that a similar dome at a university in Arkansas has supposedly benefited from. Much more of the taxpayers' money will be spent in a time when the govenor, state legislature and citizens are calling for less spending and heavy cuts. In these times we must make sure we are meetingour needs and not just satisfying our desires. "Does the basketball team need room for 10,000 people to come see them play?

Could the answer lie in the Focus on problem's causes To the Editor: This letter is in response to Mike Cleaves' editorial "Still per­ plexed about parking?" (Feb. 16). To answer his question, I have to respond by saying yes. I am per­ plexed at how he suggests we con­ tinue the symptoms and not the causes. The cause for our parking problems is that their are too many cars. Why is it drastic not to allow freshmen to have cars? It used to be a school policy. When you live on campus you do not need a car anyway, and having a car at col­ lege should be a privilege and not Brachear mentions. In fact, one a right.

Appalachian students must make sure we are not wasting the taxpayer's dollar. One of the most pressing problems for students and citizens alike in Boone is the traffic and parking problem.

Can we, with piece of mind, take $20 million tax dollars while the en­ tire system suffers a $15 million cut? Is a 10,000 seat convocation center really needed at this univer­ sity? Up until last year, convocation was held within each field of study. It was more personal and it did not take all day. Last year it was held in the football stadium and every­ one got wet. So the idea is that we spend $30 million so that the chance of getting wet (very likely in Boone) will not happen at graduation. Does the bas­ ketball team need room for 10,000 people to come see iliem play? Appar­ ently not. They have a hard time as it is filling the current gym. What about the band PHISH, and how they sold out Varsity Gym last fall? 10,000 possible ticket buyers will surely make it more profitable for them to come back. This is surely a good reason to spend $30 million. The state leg­ islature, the Board of Governors, Appalachian administrators, and 24, and gave that to The Appala­ chian.

Communication has and will continue to be a central aspect of the university's response to com­ plaints of this nature. Contrary to Ms. Brachear's understanding, per­ sons who come forward with con­ cerns about possible sexual harass­ ment are informed of the several options for reporting their con­ cerns, only one of which is the anonymous variety that Ms. Reader questions points in letter, ad To the Editor: In the Thursday, Feb. 16 issue of The Appalachian, there was a letter ("Readers reflect on ACES") that opened with a very trouble­ some statement that Iwish to ad­ dress. The opening statement said that the duty of an elected official was to protect the rights of those who elected the said official. This is a misguided and ignorant thought that must be corrected. An elected official's job is NOT to protect and serve those who voted for them, but rather to pro­ tect and serve EVERYONE. This is a problem that has been infecting our current government for years now; the problem of our elected officials only serving the lobbyists and special interest groups that provided the money and/or sup­ port to get the public official elected to office. When this hap­ pens, the general public as a whole suffers because only a select few have their interests looked after, which may not be the interests of the masses. Another problem I notided was that in the classifieds section, an unknown fraternity released some little known facts about their organization. For the most part, the facts were more statistical than qualitative, with the exception of number four. It stated that they were an organization of "hetero­ sexual men." Why does this fact need to be stated along with the previous three which were merely statistical in nature? Obviously, it was animportant fact, important enough for them to feel the need to express it in a publication. Do they feel that ho­ mosexuality is wrong and that they reserve the right to disallow the admittance ofhomosexual males? It certainly appears that way, since they want the public to know that they are NOT gay. If this is the case, I think it ironic that the fol­ lowing statement of little facts pro­ fessed that they were not preju­ diced and did not discriminate anybody based on race or creed. What about sexual orientation? Oh, I'm sorry, that was covered in number four. Of course, they could say that they are not anti-gay. If this is so, why the statement at all? They might as well have said that all of their members have 10 fingers and 10 toes. Pretty redundant, huh?

Carol Pollet, Stylist Matrix �I he Appalachian, Thursday 23 Feb Page 8 lfUary Cool Hand Paul Is no fool QJSteven Mackay Reporter Paul Newman brought us the immortal classics "Cool Hand Luke" and "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid." Now he returns in a new film that will loom large as well. "Nobody's Fool" (Rated "R") has Newman written all over it: tough, rugged, funny, sad and sometimes just plain weird. Newman plays Donald "Sully" Sullivan, a construction worker who has not seen a trace of good luck in his 60 long years of life. His knee is falling victim to arthri­ tis (although he insists it's an onthe-job war wound), he's out of money, he can't land a job, his grown son (Dylan Walsh) hates him, and his much-needed lawyer couldn't spell "O.J." if his life de­ pended on it. Sully's life is cold and miserable, just like the New York town he lives in. However, there are a few bright spots in his dire existence. There's Miss Beryl (Jessica Tandy), Sully's landlord, former grade school teacher and best friend. He's also in love with the wife (Melanie Griffith) of his boss, Carl (Bruce Willis), a contender for jerk of the year. Finally and most importantly, is the introduction of his grandson, a shy but bright boy. He inspires Sully to actually go out and live. "Nobody's Fool" is a quiet, slow, wonderful movie that actu­ ally has real human characters in it. Nothing exciting ever happens; there are no terrorists or explo­ sions, just like real life. This is just a simple story of a normal Ameri­ can guy. How many movies have you seen where you actually care about the people on the screen? Not many. This is one of the few touching, endearing and down­ right good dramas that Hollywood sprinkles on us every once in a while. The best scenes in the movie are shared by Newman and Tandy, continued from page 6 where they joke about death and old age. Ironically, this is Jessica Tandy's final performance, and it is every bit as good as her past showings. Bruce Willis is also spectacular in his small, un-billed role. He manages to put away the giant ego that has wrecked his ca­ reer ("Color of Night" and the up­ coming "Die Hard 3"), and actu­ ally acts. With this movie and "Pulp Fiction," Willis may finally be back on track. Newman is his normal, spec­ tacular self. He proves once again that he is one of America's best actors. Who else at age 70 has the power and talent of Newman? Not many. "Nobody's Fool" captured two Oscar nominations for Newman (best actor) and best adapted screenplay for Robert Benton, who also directed. I'm quite certain both gentlemen will be happy when the awards are handed out in March. Grade: **** Interested in writing for The Appalachian?

Sports Commentary "When a team plays Appalachian they know they're going to get hit hard and that they've got a tough day in front of them," Gonzalez .said. "Even if they beat us, they'll be sore the next day. We're not a dirty team, we just play hard." Senior Chris Cuddy agreed, and he said the team's style of play is a good rea­ son for people to come to games. "It's an exciting sport to watch because the game doesn't stop," Cuddy said. "It keeps roll­ ing, so there's always something happen­ ing. The whole game is a fight for posses­ sion of the ball. There are 30 players on the field and only one referee, so a lot of interesting things happen." Cuddy also said anybody can play rugby. "You can be fat and slow or small and fast and be good. Anyone who's in­ terested can try out for the team. We get new people every week." But the team's problem isn't a lack of players, it's a lack of funding. They get $900 per year from ASU, which only pays Kevin Robinson Reporter see Rules page 11 SC play-in a real possibility Stephen Hensley Assitant Sports Editor "YOU ARE NOW LEAVING TENNES­ SEE." Never have those words been sweeter than when read by the men's bas­ ketball team Monday night after their sec­ ond straight loss in the Volunteer state. After falling to East Tennessee Saturday night, the Apps moved on to face the Ten­ nessee-Chattanooga Moccasins. It was the first meeting of the two teams this season due to the new divisional format .in the Southern Conference. After the 54-68 loss, the Mountaineers might hope it's the last. The Mocs, now 15-9 overall and 102 in the conference, came out strong in the first half, connecting on 50 percent of their shots, including 4-9 from behind the arc. Appalachian continued to struggle from the perimeter, hitting only one of six attempts before intermission. The Mocs also got to the free throw line 11 times in the first half compared to only two attempts for the Apps. These factors began to add up until the Moun­ taineers found themselves staring down the barrel of 40-28 halftime deficit. "I thought we did some good things," said Coach Tom Apke on his team's per­ formance. "We found ourselves coming from behind most of the game and may have just run out of gas." At the same time the needle was read­ ing empty for the Apps, UTC was still in high gear. The Mocs shot 42 percent from the field in the second period, a drop off of their first half performance, but good enough to fend off the Mountaineers and their 28 percent second half shooting per­ centage. The Apps also had their run-in with the officials, picking up three technical fouls as a team. This contributed to UTC's tremendous free throw advantage. The Mocs got to the stripe 26 times, hitting 17. Conversely, the Apps only got to the line 10 times. Roger Smith did a lot of the damage for the Mocs, scoring18 points to go along with his 11 rebounds. Brandon Born also hurt the Apps with his 15 points and five boards. As for the Mountaineers, it was an­ other ho-hum performance by Chad McClendon. Yeah, right The Madisonville, Tenn. native had game highs in points with 25 and rebounds with 18.

"The school gives us nothing compared with what we use," said Cuddy. The Club Sports Council gets a set amount of money from the school, and the Council members decide how to divide it. "If we could get more money for the Council, then we could give more to each sport," Cuddy said. "A lot of the varsity sports get all kinds of money that they can't even be­ gin to spend.

GSU's Eagles visit Varsity Gym for the last game of the year on Feb. 27, hoping to avenge a loss to ASU in Statesboro last month. ASU center Andreia Hinton, after scoring a season-high 28 points in a Saturday loss to East Tennessee State, managed nine against Marshall (5-7 Southern Conference, 13-11). Fourteen re­ bounds from Hinton on Monday were another team best for the year, but the 6-1 sophomore did not visit the free throw line, where she has averaged six attempts per game in conference play. ASU, trailing 32-26 at the half, could not use the familiar three-point shot to climb back into the game. The Mountaineers at­ tempted a healthy 18 treys, con­ verting on three. The accurate jumper of senior Beth Kilby, which has faded in recent games, still was good for two long-range bombs which gave her six of her team- continued from page 10 leading 12 points. Starting in lieu of benched sophomore Maaret Artosalo, Mel­ issa Davis has turned in solid per­ formances. Only Hinton is averag­ ing more points when playing con­ ference foes, and Davis' 45 percent three-point shooting in the last month is tops on the team. The Florida sophomore had 11 points and three steals, joining Kilby and Merideth Thompson in double fig­ ures. The Herd's Keri Simmons had six blocks, seven points, and eight rebounds in 27 minutes. Simmons and Marshall's four other starters scored 51of the Thundering Herd's 71 points. Versatile forward Maaret Artosalo, who missed games against Radford, ETSU, and Marshall because of a week-long suspension for violating team policy, will return Saturday for a home game versus TennesseeChattanooga. K'7 1 Ml n I IF v i: Play-in in a block and two assists for good measure. Will Cook helped the cause with nine points and three assists. Kareem Livingston poured in eight points and three boards.

"But the disappoint­ ment won't carry over to the next continued from page 10 game." The next match-up for the Apps will be at VMI Saturday.

Burleson served as a SGA Senator and member of the rules committee in 1993. Burleson named Billy Bunting, also a former senator and member of the rules committee, as his vice presidential running mate. Burleson and Bunting are the second team to announce their candidacy. The other candidates are Ray Paschal and Todd Finch, who announced their candidacy last week. "Billy was my first choice (for vice president)," said Burleson. "I worked with him in SGA and saw his personal motiva­ tion. He was also highly involved in high school." Burleson and Bunting are concerned with making SGA offi­ cials and the administration more accessible to students. Other issues they are concerned with in­ clude the infirmary, parking, the library and the convoca­ tion center. "Our main purpose for running is for the stu­ dents," said Burleson. "Our motto is - willing to learn, ea­ ger to listen and ready to serve." Burleson plans to graduate in May of 1996 with a major in business manage­ ment and a minor in interna­ tional management. In 1992, he served as the president of the student body of Mayland Community College in Spruce Pine, N.C. Bunting plans to graduate in May 1997 with a major in broadcasting and a minor in business. He is cur­ rently a resident assistant in Coltrane. "Being an RA allows me to interact personally with students and hear their con­ cerns," said Bunting.

Accuracy and PutohcService »*<* 1936 ACC planners view Arkansas facility Allison Pennell Reporter Several members of the Appala­ chian Convocation Center committee learned first-hand about the operations required in a multi-purpose arena when they traveled to Arkansas State Univer­ sity this past weekend to view its convo­ cation center. " Director of Conferences and In­ stitutes Tony Gray, Athletic Director Roachel Laney, Student Government As­ sociation President J.D. Adams and Vice President Jane Mclntyre and Vice Chan­ cellor for Business Affairs Jane Helm went on the trip. Laney said they went to see the Arkansas convocation center to get ideas and to see it in operation. While there, the committee members saw a men and women's basketball game. This allowed them to see the ticket and concession ar­ eas in operation. Laney said they were also able to see how the arena was set up before the games. "We got to see the in-house op­ erations," he said. "It gave us hands-on experience and we hope to apply it some­ time." Mclntyre said the university talked to them about the arena for about two hours and gave a tour of every room. "The talk gave some very valu­ 262-6233 Matures & torials 262-3104 awn McGuire, 262-6149 "tor-in-Chief e able information," said Gray. 'They spoke about the negative aspects of the center so that we wouldn't make the same mis­ takes." Mclntyre said one of Arkansas State's mistakes was they had not built a concourse around the concessions for bet­ ter access, which Appalachian's plans do include. "The thing that excited me the most about their convocation center was it could be used for so many things," Mclntyre said. She said they showed how it could be used for graduation, bas­ ketball games, and a boat exhibition in a period of just four days. Mclntyre said everybody at Ar­ kansas State University had gained from the center. The university's student body president said the students enjoyed get­ ting a lot of use out of it. Gray said the part of the building that most impressed him was the flexibil­ ity the seating provides with retractable chairback seats. The Arkansas State convocation center does compare to the proposed plan that Appalachian has, Mclntyre said. "It is very close to what we're looking for," Gray said. "The Arkansas convocation center is a model in diver­ sity." Representatives of Hakan-Corley and Associates also traveled to Arkansas.

Derrick said only one case of the bacterial strain has been reported on Appalachian's campus this year a 20- year-old male living in Coltrane Residence Hall. Derrick said antibiotics to kill the bacteria were offered to residents on the student's floor and players on his basket­ ball team. "We tried to find anybody who had contact with his saliva," Derrick said. "Most of them took advantage of (the an­ tibiotics)." Derrick said a university-wide immunization would not be necessary unless another case of the disease con­ nected to the Coltrane resident proved a mode of transmission. "We would then have to find a for about a week at a time and then trans­ more sophisticated way of preventing the mits it.

The N.C. Department of Environment, Health and Natu­ ral Resources reported in Wake County, on Feb. 14, a Sanderson High School student died of the illness, diagnosed the day before. She dated an acquaintance of the meningitis patient at Lees-McRae. In South Carolina, Feb. 6, doc­ tors diagnosed a high school stu­ dent with the illness as well. She also dates a friend of the infected student at Lees-McRae. As a precautionary measure, three additional Lees-McRae stu­ dents have been hospitalized in Banner Elk for related symptoms. Derrick said the symptoms of meningitis are very similar to those of influenza. Fever, general mal­ aise and headaches are common symptoms. Derrick said, however, the flu usually involves upper res­ piratory symptoms as opposed to the nausea symptomatic of men­ ingitis. Meningitis patients may Pa£ F F Rc Fe: on; en thi continued from page 7 also develop a flat, red rash on the arms and legs which may then develop into small red dots. Derrick also said meningitis symptoms progress more rapidly. "In 24 hours, it's life or death." Treatment for meningitis in­ cludes a spinal tap and the imple­ mentation of antimicrobal therapy. Appalachian Health Services took several hundred calls Wednesday between 6 and 11 p.m. with concerns about the "out­ break" after an article appeared that day in the Watauga Democrat. "Parents had called their kids, too, to tell them they had heard about the 'outbreak"," Derrick said. One nurse handled telephone calls Thursday while three screened patients reporting men­ ingitis symptoms. As a result, the infirmary has been booked, since concerns about the illness have spread as fast as the real outbreak of the flu. Boone Tire Center, Inc. m< m< "More than Just a Tire Store' lin •B.F.

Unfortunately, at the time, South Carolina as well as Missis­ sippi still maintained segregated university systems. Gantt, at the top of his architecture class, was routinely rejected for admission after the university discovered he was black. Clemson based these rejections on what Gantt termed "flimsy reasons." Gantt, feeling the university was overtly discriminating against him, filed a lawsuit against the state of South Carolina in 1962. According to Gantt, the district court trial was a "charade," with the state spending over $75,000 to keep Gantt out of Clemson. "What truly angered me," said Gantt, "was that they were trying to keep me out with my father's tax dollars."

However, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the deci­ sion, paving the way for Gantt to enter Clemson in January 1963. The state of South Carolina stated it would tolerate no such trouble upon Gantt's entrance to Clemson, referring to the violent outbreaks in Mississippi during James Meredith's entrance as the first black to attend an all-white school in that state. Despite calls by some to ostra­ cize Gantt at Clemson, he soon won over the friendship of many students. Gantt would also meet his future wife while attending classes at Clemson.

Many parents, concerned that not enough is known about the disease and all the potential ways it can be spread, have begun to ask how certain a public health care system should be before it can assure them there's nothing to worry about. Unlike cancer or even other inheritable diseases such as hemophilia, HIV is associated with taboo sexual and drug-related behaviors. Because AIDS has a unique so­ cial stigma, parents whose children contract the disease fear their child will be ostracized and isolated from soci­ ety. Even worse, other parents fear that any contact by their children with HIV-positive children will result in transmission of the deadly disease. These fears are real­ istic up to a point.

Host East Tennessee State University snatched a chance to leapfrog into the top position, beating Appalachian 93-86. The Bucs (9-3 SC, 16-6) had let an opportunity to catch ASU in the conference standings slip through their fingers last week when the Apps fell to Furman, 83-68. Tennessee-Chattanooga thwarted those plans, upsetting ETSU in an 82-59 shocker. Saturday's loss pushes ASU down to 8-3 in the con­ ference, and out of first place for the first time in nearly a month. East Tennessee State chiseled a lead in the opening half, riding a 41-33 halftime advantage. Sixty percent shooting from the field in the first 20 minutes helped the Bucs' cause, and ETSU's pace was set by Sharon Jones, who scored 25 points. Sophomore center Andreia Hinton tore apart ETSU's defense, with a team- and season-high 28 points in 22 minutes. Hinton's 14 field goals on 27 attempts were also season records for the Apps. The week-long suspension of forward Maaret Artosalo has meant extended playing time for other team members, and Melissa Davis has come up strong as of late, averaging better than 15 points a game over ASU's last three. Before fouling out at the close of Saturday's game, Davis put down 18 and was 6 for 7 from the field. Guard Shannon Spencer had eight assists and seven steals as she played a marathon 38 minutes. Four players reached double figures in scoring for the Buccaneers, including the nation's number seven scorer DeShawne Blocker, whose 15 were far below her average. Blocker, who led Division I with 17.3 rebounds per game in 1993-94, compensated with 10 boards. Appalachian's game against the Lady Highlanders of Radford University on Wednesday, Feb.15, was a match­ up between teams with opposite outlooks on the dwin­ dling season. The Mountaineers dropped two of three games on their most recent road trip, and after streaking 'to a January record of 8-1, ASU was 2-2 during February coming into the contest against Radford. see Lady Assistant Sports Editor David Willis Reporter The great American poet Willie Nelson once crooned that he couldn't wait to get on the road again, but he never had to play against East Tennessee State. The Bucs are always tough, but even more so when in the confines of their "minidome." Appalachian, coming off of two consecutive heartbreaking losses, hoped to spring back against an East Tennessee squad that is not as strong as in years past. However, good perimeter shooting by the Bucs spelled trouble for the young Moun­ taineers as they fell, 74-83. The Apps got out to a decent start, connecting on14 of their 31 first half shots, including four of nine from behind the three point arc. The Mountaineers also made it to the free throw line six times before the break, connecting on five. The Bucs, who hit only 44.4 percent of their first half shots, found themselves knotted with Appalachian at 37 apiece, as both team's retreated to the locker rooms. At the break, Coach Alan LeForce of ETSU rallied his troops, and the Bucs re­ sponded by playing much better ball in In Appalachian State's final regular season wrestling meet of the year, Virginia Military Institute defeated the Mountain­ eers 23-13 in a battle of Southern Con­ ference unbeatens, and gained important momentum heading into the Southern Conference Tournament. The Mountaineers dropped a heartbreaker to VMI, giving the grapplers their first Southern Conference loss of the year. The loss also ended the App's six-meet unbeaten streak. In the first match at 118 lbs, ASU se­ nior Mike Orris continued his season-long dominance by defeating Marcus Sanchez 12-0. Orris ended the regular season with a record of 19-4. In the 126 lb weight class, VMI's Aaron Mickiewicz defeated ASU's Damon Baldwin 4-2 in a very close match. Baldwin finished his season with a 19-7 see Waltz page 7 mark. • Vinny Zullo put ASU back on top with a 5-2 victory over VMI's Adam Mickiewicz, but the Keydets proved to be too strong, winning five of the next six Akram Barghothi matches.

A slow start to the sea­ son put the Highlanders at 2-9, but Coach Lumbomyr Lichonczak's team had won seven of nine games before Wednesday. For Appala­ chian, the challenge of beating a team on the move was inspiring, and the Mountaineers derailed Radford, 96-68. AS LPs height advantage as­ serted itself early, as the home team eased out to an 8-2 lead with three minutes gone in the game. Both teams began the night sput­ tering offensively. Radford (9-12) hung close for a while, relying on gritty defense and hustle.

Finally in the heavyweight di­ vision, App Duke Howell defeated VMI's David Hall 12-4, to score ASLPs final points. Howell finished the regular season with a record of 22-8. Also for the Apps, Shomari Rozier ended an injury-filled sea­ son with a record of 12-4. "We wrestled well, and they wrestled well. VMI is a very tough place to wrestle, they have a small gym and they fill it with cadets," said ASU's wrestling coach Paul Mance. "It (the loss) may have been good for us, the guys know where they stand and that they will have to wrestle well to win the tournament." The loss for the Apps came at a very bad time as the Southern Conference Tournament is in two weeks.

Ray Paschal, Student Government Association director of state affairs, an­ nounced his candidacy for SGA President at Tuesday night's SGA meeting. "I've seen how things have gone and I understand how the organization works," Paschal said. "More importantly, I can see how it can be improved." Paschal also told senate that offcampus senator Todd Finch will be his vice presidential running mate. "I was looking for the person I thought had good leadership abilities," Paschal said, "He has a lot of good ideas. He is a good communicator and a real smart guy." "I am honored and excited with another chance to further service the stu­ dents of Appalachian," Finch said. Finch spoke to the SGA Senate about Paschal's accomplishments. "I, like many other students, have seen Ray's many accomplishments, such as the tu­ ition installment plan, the semesterly voter registration drive, and his success in lob­ bying state legislature." 'These accomplishments will in­ sure that Ray will serve as one of the most outstanding presidents ever," Finch said.

On Nov. 16, a group of approxi­ mately 15 faculty members and adminis­ trators and 10 students surveyed both east and west sides of campus for possible safety improvements. Evan Rowe of the Safety and Workers Compensation Office was also asked to participate. "As the University Safety Officer, I am concerned with safety in the work­ place, and in this case, the workplace ba­ sically includes the whole campus," said Rowe. Most of the suggestions made by the group related to improved lighting as well as improvements in cutting back over­ grown shrubs and bushes. Dr. Clyde Robbins, associate vice chancellor of physical operations, said most of these lighting and landscaping concerns were taken care of almost im­ mediately. Electricians replaced burned-out or damaged bulbs. In addition, ground crews cut back overgrown bushes and shrubs deemed to be a safety hazard. "As a result (of the walk) we have instituted a regular periodic maintenance schedule, which we follow to ensure the replacement of lights as well as landscap­ ing maintenance," said Robbins. The group also suggested addi­ tional emergency blue lights around cam­ pus.

If the chair does not wish to remain in office, no position is available, and no internal replace­ ment can be found, the depart­ ment as a whole and the dean will have an expressed voice about which of the candidates to select as chair. This policy will not pre­ vent the chair from being removed before the five-year term, or any other term, has expired, in accor­ dance with established procedure. The one-year evaluation process will still be in effect. Aside from the terms and limits expressed in this policy, chairs are subject to all other poli­ cies regarding retention and dis­ missal of faculty members. Once the Senate has ap­ proved this policy and it has been a accepted by the Provost and the Chancellor, all chairs now in of­ fice for four or more years will begin a three-year term. All chairs who have been in office less than four years will begin a five-year Rc Fei on en thi term. All future chairs will be in­ formed of this policy and begin a five-year term when they begin their serve at Appalachian as chairs. This same policy is in practice at the University of North Carolina-Asheville, UNC-Chapel Hill, UNC-Greensboro, UNCWilmington, East Carolina Univer­ sity, North Carolina State Univer­ sity and Pembroke State University. Jesse Taylor, assistant professor of philosophy and reli­ gion, felt that diversity should not be an argument to change chairs. "It is about leadership and au­ tonomy," Taylor said.

Some people may argue that this depends on several things, but what it boils down to is personal standards. Mine tell me that it is not acceptable to cheat. I have to be honest and admit that I'm guilty of having done it myself. But my days of peeking at other people's math quizzes ended as soon as high school did; something about the atmosphere at college has changed the way I think about this issue. Call me a hypocrite, but I just don't see college as an extension of high school. Things are very different here. Nothing (except maybe the cafeteria) operates on the same level. College creates an academic community; here we live and breathe the things we study. Those of us who take our studies seriously also have respect for this university. Many people don't know this, but there are some very serious aspects of college life that need more attention. For example, a syllabus is virtually a legal contract between students and profes­ sors. Similarly, we have the University Code of Academic Integrity that we are ex­ pected to follow. I will venture to say that most students break the rules set up by this code- and this is pretty easy to do if you're not informed as to what they are. For example, if you haven't done one of these things yourself, you probably know someone who has: used a test from a previous semester for a class you have now, copying text from a source you don't document, turning in a paper to two different professors, and regular 'ol cheating. I have only encountered one professor who really enforces this code. He was only concerned with us not plagiarizing- something most of us learned not to do in high school. It has always seemed to me that professors simply expect students to know better than to cheat. I've been in many tests in which the professor has left the room until the class was over. In high school this wasn't a possibility. Anyway, when you break the code, one of the two things can happen. First, you can go through a settlement process. This is usually for a first-time offense. During this process the student meets with the professor. The two must agree on a penalty and sign a form along with an advisor who talks with the student later. Second, which is usually reserved for serious offenses or those in which the stu­ dent and professor can't agree on either guilt or punishment, the student goes before Still perplexed about parking?

Penalties decided here can include a grade of "F," sus­ pension, or expulsion. According to Barbara Daye, who is on the faculty senate committee which is cur­ rently studying the integrity code processes, there may be 12-15 cases of academic integrity reported in a typical semester. This number is just typical of reported cases and doesn't account for the numerous times dishonesty occurs without someone get­ ting caught. The bottom line here is that academic dishonesty is harmful to the integrity of our university. When you cheat you show disrespect for the community here, not to men­ tion for your professor and your peers. I agree with the statement about this which appears on page 53 of the student handbook along with the abridged version of the code: "Without maintenance of high standards of honesty, members of the instruc­ tional staff are defrauded, students are treated unfairly and society itself is poorly served." Mike Cleaves Assistant Editorials Editor (-Ieafr5 Students shouldn't be left out in t h e cold Bryson Betts Columnist A feature in last week's The Appala­ chian described the landscape as a "win­ ter wonderland." It appeared to me as another land far, far away; the ice planet Hoth, and I was poor Luke Skywalker searching for direction and meaning amongst this madness. In other words, the conditions that existed early last week should have been a premise to cancel classes. It seems that the class cancellation cri­ teria are a subject of debate each year with students furious at the administration that they have to attend classes and be subject to blizzard conditions. All of us received notices early in the year saying that the administration "re­ serves the right" to cease university ac­ tivities as they see fit, although no specif­ ics were given on what would have to hap­ pen to make them see it worthy of letting us stay home. A fear they have is that on weekdays that Boone has snow, students, and possi­ bly staff, will flock to the ski slopes for fun. However, one cannot ski, snowboard, or sled in a blizzard without a lot of diffi­ culty. That is precisely what happened earlier last week. The weather station, which is oper­ ated by the Geography Department, re­ ported about five inches of snow on Sat­ urday, adding to the remnants from the week before. It never got much above 20 degrees fahrenheit Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, with average wind speeds bef tween 15-20 miles per hour. When the gusts were the worst, they were blowing up to 50 MILES PER HOUR. 1 Wind chill for 8 a.m. Monday was 24 degrees below zero, at 8 a.m. on Tuesday (when we got another inch of snow) it was -9 degrees below zero, and Wednes­ day it was -17. On the Weather Channel there v/as a winter storm advisory and a wind chill advisory in effect for Tuesday and Wednes­ day. THEY saw fit to warn us of impend­ ing danger. Fortunately, people get much more cautious when there is snow on the road and a storm in the air. The police depart­ ment said there were only nine weatherf related accidents for the first three days of last week. However, on Thursday and Friday, when there was slush and frozen snow still on the roads and parking lots, ten more accidents occurred. I know it is not practical or desirable from the administration's point of view to cancel classes every time there is snow­ fall (as the rest of the state does), but when even college students get nervous about driving and sliding sideways on River Street, or pedestrians worry about just staying upright in the wind and snow, it becomes obvious that a delay or cancel­ lation might be in order. Until the administration realizes this, 111 be out there searching for Obi Wan Kenobi with the rest of you. Anyone who has ever tried to park a car on campus knows that it is getting in­ creasingly difficult to do so. In the last year, construction and the end of the lease on the Baptist parking lot have meant the demise of about 350 parking spaces. While rising enrollment is increasing the demand on the spaces still available, another 350 or so will be destroyed within the next year or two. Clearly, ASU is faced with a problem. "I can see next year being a disaster... conve­ nient parking will be slim," said ASU Police Captain Stephen Perry. "I'd like to see at least a thousand new spaces close to campus," he said. This would seem to be a good idea; the world needs more concrete. Unfortunately, it's not that simple. First of all, there is very little available land near campus. Students are already forced to park at the Broyhill Inn and out at State Farm, where, on a clear day, you can almost see the campus. Following this trend would probably place any future lots in Wilkesboro or Winston-Salem. That's a long walk to class. Besides, any available land will probably be used up for construction projects. Unless we build the Appalachian Convocation Center, the new steam plant, the proposed Greek housing, the Academic Support Center, the new baseball field, the McKinney Alumni Center, and the new Science/Math building on stilts, it will prove exceedingly difficult to park one's car on the land that these facilities will oc­ cupy. Furthermore, despite the fact that as of 1994 the parking budget was in the black by a whopping $714,638.78, it would seem that, lamentably, we do not actually have the wherewithal to go ahead and pave the world. New parking spaces cost about $1,200 each ($6,000-$8,000 if they are in a parking deck). That means that the entire parking budget surplus could only buy a maximum of 600 spaces, and that's in an engineer's dream-world of perfectly flat ground that does not need to be levelled or have complicated drainage systems installed (under this definition, UNCW is a park­ ing lot engineer's dream world). One complication of this already complicated problem is that this is the sort of campus issue that is breathtakingly boring. The difficulty involved in planning, con­ structing, and paying for parking lots is not the sort of issue that prompts demonstra­ tions, marches, "Rock Around the Parking Crisis" musical benefits, and other such social events. So what are we to do? Should we expect the traffic supervision staff to hold a bake sale? Are we going to adopt the drastic proposal of forbidding freshmen to bring their cars to school? Will SGA introduce a proposal to convert East Hall to a high-rise parking deck? Who knows? The one thing that is clearly apparent is that students and faculty alike should be loading up on coffee and No-Doz and giving serious attention to this dilemma. Like most problems, it is very unlikely that this situation will get better by itself. ~T £ur\oAVjYyxv)«_ -Vk*- OkT\ S KjJtr 4o ooC ptvflCirX) pfotWws pF\aA-0-rf\ani! o- A 1J �The Appalachian, Thursr* Readers reflect on ACES The Appalachian is looking for writers and cartooni&t Applicants must be creative and reli^ fc apply, call Patrick Saleeby or Mike CI ^ at 262-3104. „ CHARLIE HORSE RESTAURANT &B> Roger Suclupe Off-campus senator ASU Box 07278 E-Mail The Appalachian!!

Tell that to coach Tom Apke and the rest of the Appalachian men's basketball team. After a 75-76 last-second loss to Davidson Saturday afternoon, the Mountaineers had to regroup for a Monday night date with the Thundering Herd of Marshall. After enjoying a 14point lead in the second half, the wheels fell off the wagon and Marshall roared back to escape with a 70-69 win. Coach Billy Donnovan had to expect that the Apps would come out hot, looking to avenge the 93-80 pounding his Herd gave the Mountaineers on Jan. 14. Those expectations were realized as Appalachian got out to an early 11-5 lead less than four minutes into the game. Kareem Livingston was the man early on for the Apps , scoring six of the team's first 13 points. His performance was then complimented by another phenomenal display by Chad McClendon. McClendon played huge in the first half, scoring 11 points and gathering 13 boards, not to mention three assists. More importantly, Appalachian seemed to snap out of their shooting slump, hitting 52 percent of their first half shots. Marshall came back and took a six point lead of their own with back-to-back buckets by Malik Hightower. Troy Gray helped the Herd's cause with nine points of his own before intermission. The game remained nip and tuck through out the first half. Appalachian regained the lead but could not pull away, committing 10 first half turnovers to Marshall's full court pressure. The Herd also struggled offensively, hitting only four of the 16 three pointers they hoisted in the opening 20 minutes. Donnovan's squad connected on only 31 percent of their attempts from the floor. In the opening minutes of the second half, Appalachian played as well as they have all season. This despite of the fact that McClendon had only two points and four rebounds after the break. Brian Hege scored nine points in a row off of three long range jumpers. The lead ballooned to 14 points with Appalachian taking control 49-35 with 16:00 left in the contest. Then it happened. Gray and Tink Brown exploded for the Herd. The full court pressure defense of Marshall caused the Apps to turn the ball over 12 times in the second half for of sell ^t:ory, aid, orth in ngs lie. :ets - • stion •Mb |Sports Commentary Patrick Saleeby Editorials Editor Now that All-Star Weekend has passed, it is time for the NBA to get down to business in the stretch run for the play­ offs. But hold on a minute... we need to have a talk about last weekend's All-Star festivities. The actual game was okay, but I want to talk about All-Star Saturday. The NBA definitely has the best all-around AllStar weekend in professional sports, but this past weekend left me with a hollow feeling. We'll start with the Schick Rookie Game. This is the only event I'll give the NBA credit for. In all honesty, replacing the Legends Game with rookies was one of the best ideas the league has ever had. I mean, Rick Barry, Bobby Jones, and Calvin Murphy were good in their day, but there comes a time when you have to let go. It should've been called the Hospital Game - every year one of the legends was injured, had a heart attack, or forgot where the game was. The halftime of the rookie game was very disappointing. Mike Hoban failed in his attempt to hit a three-pointer for a mil­ lion bucks. TNT handled this well. TNT/ TBS reporter Craig Sager, who's about as exciting as a Legends Game, grilled the poor 16-year-old after he missed. Here is a dramatization of the post-shot interview: see Lightning page 10 j Chad McClendon had 13 points and 17 rebounds in Appalachian's one point loss to Marshall Monday night, (photo by Rhett Butler} Despite loss, Apps still in first place Darryl Stevens Staff Writer An opportunity for payback presented (self Monday night at Furman University, >ut 26 points from the Paladins' Karen Stanley was enough to keep Appalachian State a step behind and one loss richer, 13-68. Luckily, the time for a shake-up in the Southern Conference was not to be. Sec>nd-place East Tennessee State, also on he road this week, lost to UT-Chattatooga, 82-59, on Monday. In a starting role, Melissa Davis led the Mountaineers offensively with 16 points, seven rebounds and flaunted her quick lands by collecting three steals. Turn­ overs, however, hurt Appalachian more than Furman. Appalachian, which had averaged about two turnovers less than its opponents this season, lost the basketball 24 times. The three-point shot, a staple of Appalachian's game plan this year, was not a factor in the loss. Appalachian took only 14 threes, six less than usual, and made five. Beth Kilby, the all-time leader for Andreia Hinton continued her fast pace, scoring 13. "She's coming into her own more," says Coach Linda Robinson. "We're such a balanced team, and she's realiz­ ing, 'Hey, if I do my part, and everyone "She's realizing, 'Hey, if I do my part, and everyone else does their part, we'll be okay.'" Linda Robinson Womens Basketball Coach Hinton three-pointers Appalachian State, did not attempt a trey on Monday. Her gamehigh seven boards were not enough to pull ASU over Furman. Shannon Spencer and Karolina Karlqvist contributed 10 points apiece. else does their part, we'll be okay.'" Hinton's play is consistently strong lately, as her 16-point average over ASU's last four games indicates. App's 2-2 record in those games belies the success of the entire season. Besides Furman's sweep of Appalachian this year, the Mountaineers' other losses in 1994-95 came from a strong South Carolina team, formerly nationally-ranked Texas A&M, and Middle Tennessee State. "We need to get stability back. We need to get our confidence back," said Coach Robinson. 'The team is excited to get back on the floor." Georgia Southern also is clinging to hopes of a regular season championship, with a 6-3 record as of Monday. The Eagles trail Furman in the standings - the Lady Paladins are 8-3 in the Southern. Furman (12-10 overall) travels to GSU on Satur­ day, and the winner will likely have the best shot at overtaking East Tennessee State and Appalachian State. East Tennessee State (8-3 conference, 15-6) hosts the Lady Apps on Saturday, and ASU's 8-2 Southern Conference mark makes the game an important one. Not only is first place tossed up for grabs, but with a week remaining in the season, the hope of regaining lost momentum for the tournament takes priority.

(Rhett Butler) ' Sager: What happened there, Mike? Hoban: I just left it a little short. Sager: Well, how do you feel knowing that you blew your family's chance at a million dollars? Hoban: Well... Sager: Don't worry, Mike - better luck next time. The sad thing was that it didn't stop there. The audience was able to see locker room shots of Hoban brushing away tears with Phoenix Suns forward Dan Majerle by his side. If Ted Turner was trying to scar the young man's life, I think he did a good job. Next came the AT8cT Long Distance Shoot-Out - the 'ol standby. Not much savvy or flash, but still the same. You had the regulars there - Steve Kerr, Chuck Per­ son, Glenn Rice, and Reggie Miller. Home­ town favorite Majerle did not have a good outing. He was probably rattled by trade rumors of he and Wesley Person going to Chicago for Scottie Pippen. In the end, it was Miller and Rice for the trophy, and Rice prevailed. Even though the highest score was only 19 (by Scott Burrell in the first round, and Miller and Rice in the second), the long distance shoot-out was still much more exciting than the slam dunk contest. And let me tell you about the slam dunk contest. Boorring. This was the sec­ ond year of the new format, and hope­ fully, the NBA now realizes what a flop this new format is. Instead of taking turns doing dunks (with one "replacement dunk" per round), each dunker gets an allotted amount of time (90 seconds) to do three dunks. Talk about anticlimactic. There really isn't that competition between dunkers like there used to be. Before, a dunker would try to upstage the dunk that occurred before his. Now, a dunker must upstage a 90 second "program." Harold Miner won the con­ test for the second time, adding his name once more to a list of mediocre players that are good dunkers (Dee Brown, Kenny Smith, etc.). Sadly enough, there were many dunkers who didn't even get three slams down. The slam dunk contest has been reduced to a bunch of no-name players ( who is Jamie Watson?) jumping around a gym looking like they are lost (kind of like a Legends Game). All in all, the NBA has made one good decision concerning All-Star Satur­ day, and one bad one. Thumbs up for the rookie game; thumbs down for the slam dunk contest. But for God's sake, I hope TNT controls their reporters- lay off the kid next time. I �The Appalachian, a game total of 22.

The Portland Trailblazers traded Clyde Drexler to the Hous­ ton Rockets Tuesday, reuniting him with University of Houston team­ mate and Phi Slama Jama "frater­ nity" brother Hakeem Olajuwon. The defending-chdmpion Rockets sent power forward Otis Thorpe to Portland for Drexler; for­ ward Tracy Murray, and a 1995 conditional first-round draft pick. Drexler was averaging 22 points and 5.7 rebounds per game this season for the Trailblazers, who are 12 games behind Phoenix in the Pacific West. Thorpe was averaging 13 points and 9 re­ bounds per game for the Rockets, who surprisingly have fallen 4 games behind Utah in the Mid­ west. Drexler said before the season started that he wanted to be traded. He wasn't happy playing for a rebuilding team and new coach RJ. Carlesimo. He earned $1.57 million this year, but he gets a balloon payment of $9.75 mil­ lion next season. Thorpe makes $2.57 million this year. Both play­ ers are 32 years old. The Rockets, looking for more offense, now have only Carl Herrera and possibly Robert Horry at power forward. Portland al­ ready had Clifford Robinson, Buck Williams, Harvey Grant, and Mark Bryant at forward, so adding Thorpe doesn't make much sense. But the Blazers didn't really want Thorpe, they were just tired of Drexler's complaining and they wanted to get something for him before he left as a free agent. As long as he plays consis­ tently and stays healthy, Drexler may be just what the Houston Rockets need to repeat as NBA champions. Rich Grant's big dream Special to The Appalachian Rich Grant is a Southern Con­ ference four-time champion, New England TAC champion, ASU school record holder in two events, NCAA provisional qualifier, fouryear team captain and team MVR yet remains a stone's throw away from his self-imposed goals. In Grant's case, it is not a stone's throw, but a hammer's throw. Grant is one of the best hammer and 351b weight throwers in Southern Conference history, and hasn't finished making his impact yet. The ASU senior from Connecticut will graduate this spring with yet another set of awards and records. Grant's athletic career did not begin as a hammer thrower. At prep school, he concentrated on football, where he intended to continue at the collegiate level. However, during his senior year in high school, he suffered an injury fatal to his grid-iron dreams. While shoulder sepa­ ration and reconstructive surgery ended football, it directed him into the new and addictive world of track and field. Grant's older brother had already found the hard-core world of the throwing events at ASU. His brother, Rob, was the ASU record holder in the javelin, and Southern Conference cham­ pion at the time Grant was look­ ing into colleges. Under the ad­ vice of his brother, Grant visited the southward school and found a place where he could compete with individual attention, yet at the NCAA division level. While still undergoing reha­ bilitation on his shoulder, Grant and ASU coach A1 Fereshetian de­ cided to hold out of competition for his first year, as they foresaw a profitable future ahead. With Grant's shoulder not at 100 per­ cent, Fereshetian introduced him to the hammer, which stressed the shoulder less than the javelin. "I found it one of the most difficult things that I had ever attempted athletically," said Grant on his nascence days as a hammer thrower. From that spring of 1991 on, Grant has dedicated the better part of his non-academic time solely to the hammer. At his home in Con­ necticut, he found an additional coach, Bill Sutherland. Sutherland, a former top U.S. thrower, and cur­ rent world age group ranked thrower, proved to be the perfect Grant mentor for Grant. Through Sutherland, both Grant and Fereshetian learned the ins and outs of the delicate yet powerful art of throwing. "The only way to really learn the event is repetition after repeti­ tion," said Grant of his incessant training. Fereshetian adds, "He's probably taken over 200,000 turns over the last five years, and count­ ing." With Grant's relentless train­ ing in the throwing circle, and Olympic-style weight lifting, im­ mense success has come. As a freshman, he won the S.C. with a hurl of 169'. "Winning the first one was most memorable, my brother and I were both S.C. champions that year." Sophomore year hinted at more of the talent yet to be un­ leashed, a throw of 179' won Grant his second S.C. hammer title. "My junior year was the big­ gest breakthrough," said Grant, "technically, I really started to throw well." It was during his 1994 season that he won the 35lb indoor weight as well as the out­ door hammer in the S.C. After the NCAA season, Grant pursued his event in Connecticut with a win at the New England champion­ ships. His victory with a personal record of 196' put him ahead of two former Ail-Americans, one of which had narrowly missed the 1992 U.S. Olympic team. And the Olympics is a goal of Grant's that is realistically within grasp. Currently, Grant is ranked 9th in the NCAA in the indoor weight, which he does not con­ sider his forte. "Rich is a poten­ tial 1995 Ail-American hammer candidate at 210' plus," said Coach Fereshetian. Upon gradu­ ation and a hopeful fulfillment of his Ail-American goal, Grant intends to postpone his exercise science studies in favor of train­ ing for the 1996 Olympics to be held in Atlanta. While the close of Grant's NCAA draws near, his athletic ca­ reer as an American force has only begun. From his coach's perspec­ tive: "Rich is a quality gentleman, he's an ideal model of what a stu­ dent athlete is all about. Dedicated to everything he does, he recog­ nizes the need to train 12 months of the year, and tries to train 13. All his work and talent will surely come to a magnificent fruition by the time 1996 rolls around." Grant's absence on the ASU track team will be sorely missed when he graduates in 1995. 9 �Page 12 The Appalachian, Thursday Quinn Center Appalachian News Facility Hours Monday - Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Official University News And Announcements 7 am - midnight 7 am - 8 pm 10 am - 7 pm 2 pm - 10 pm Weight Room Hours The same hours as the facility, except from 9 am - noon Lap Swim Outstanding Feu ulty Award Nomination,v| Office of Women's Concert e College of Fine and Applied Arts is accepting nominations for its annual Outstanding Faculty Award.

It's not another con­ flict-of-interest story dealing with Newt Gingrich, nor is it the rumored appear­ ance of another bimbo to keep the presi­ dent from passing his legislation. The cri­ sis happened with the Smithsonian Insti­ tute and the controversy over the Enola Gay exhibit. The exhibit, planned for the Museum of Air and Space, planned to show the plane that dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end World War II in August of 1945. The controversy dealt with the narration that was to accompany the proposed exhibit. The curators wanted to not only men­ tion that this was the plane that dropped the atomic bombs on Japan, but also it dared to try and interpret the events that took place during the end of the war.

Now, I wouldn't have much of an ar­ ticle here if this plan had not annoyed a few people. Actually, the Smithsonian made no one happy. The veterans groups called for a removal of this claiming that it "insulted the dignity of anyone who had ever defended the country." Peace activ­ ists argued I that the Smithsonian should i « « not make an exhibit honoring the plane that started the Atomic Age and the arms build-up during the Cold War.

A brief precursor to our emergence into the real world. Right? While this scenario may sound like the ideal goal that our parents have mapped out for us, in reality, it holds little truth. The fact is, many of us are staring blankly into the faces of our advisors and filling out the "undecided" bubble on question­ naires. Even if we have an idea of the path we want to take, many of us are still asking "What if this is the wrong field for me? What if my calling is in a field I haven't even explored yet? When am I going to find direction?" If you're still a bit confused, guess what? That's okay! I've always felt our society places too much emphasis on im­ mediately picking a career path. In East­ ern cultures, it's considered perfectly ac­ ceptable to take time to sort of "find your­ self' before making any major life deci­ sions.

Students who have not declared a major should have received a letter in their ASU post office box reminding them to make an appointment with their advisor for help in planning their schedules. Advising for schedule planning will run through March 3 for seniors, juniors and sophomores, and will be from March 13 through April 5 for freshmen. Now is also a good time to pre-de- clare. If you know what you would like to major in, you may pre-declare even if you have not completed enough hours to officially declare. After you successfully complete the required number of hours, the AAC will send your records to the col­ lege of your major.

"Overall, this meet was an outstanding tune-up for the South­ ern Conference championship two weeks from now," said Fereshtian. 'The unity of the small team that we brought to Kent was very posi­ tive. It was this team spirit that helped our 20 athletes to beat the 40-plus of the home team." While the team lost the meet by mere points, the number of victories and quality perfor­ mances was unreal. "Now it's time to go out and put on the finishing touches for next weekend," said Fereshetian. and distance, logically lies the middle distances. Garson Hedrick and Jon Austin ruled their respec­ tive events, the 600m and 800m. Hedrick looped the 300m Mondo track twice in 1:21 for vic­ tory, while Austin won the 800 in 1:55. Austin has just recently be­ gun to hit his stride again, and hopes to repeat as S.C. champion. Judson Sarver and Chris Huffstickler dominated the other middle distance race. Huffstickler won the mile in 4:14 while freshman star Sarver showed a hint of what made him a nationally ranked prep last year. He ran 4:20 for 3rd place.

During the debate over Walters' appointment, Carlee Cole, Belk residence hall senator, accused Walters of greeting her "with extremely offensive language."

Older buildings such as D.D.

Walters responded, "That's fair on your part, but I did not say that. I don't say (f you)," he said. Chad McRae, off-campus senator, explained the problems he and others had with Walters' appointment. "I think that some of the main problems are his com­ ments to Carlee (Cole), and his overall general attitude," he said. Dan Norris, off-campus senator, accused Walters of having a poor attitude. "(Walters) told me: 'I do not care about Boone at all." Todd Finch, off-campus senator, in support of Walters cited his good work ethic as a qualification. "He is on the ball," he said. McRae also cited "diversity (on cabinet as) a main concern. To appoint an­ other Delta Chi to cabinet is not diversity." Of 14 cabinet members (includ- Walters ing President J.D. Adams and Vice Presi­ dent Jane Mclntyre) 11 are members of a Greek fraternity or sorority. Six of eight male cabinet members are brothers of Delta Chi. Michael Hagerty, Gardner resi­ dence hall senator, defended Walters. "I See Walters page 13 Classes unaffected by weather Manya Brachear News Editor "If the snow was 14 feet deep we'd all be here," Carole Muirhead, departmen­ tal secretary for the military science de­ partment, said with a chuckle. Unfortunately that was not the case for many other academic depart­ ments on campus yesterday when kneedeep snow stalled automobiles and clogged roadways to prevent faculty and students from making it to campus. Melissa Cook, administrative sec­ retary for the geology department, said at least 10 students had called in unable to make it to class due to the weather. Approximately 20 students each called into the marketing department and the communications department. "We don't want them (students) to take a chance at all," Dr. Kenneth Pea­ cock, dean of the college of business, said. "We don't want students to suffer from a grade standpoint either." Marketing professor Warren Na­ tion said he would not change his atten­ dance policy unless he received instruc­ tions from above. Nation deducts from the total grade points for any absence, ex­ cused or unexcused. "It'll be that way unless we get instructions to be lenient," he said. Departmental offices advised stu­ dents to call their individual professors in order to make sure their absences would be excused. Some faculty members were not able to make it either, however. "If they can't make it, they can't make it," Jeannie Harmon of the Chancellor's office said. If the faculty members were not available, either, Dr. Harvey Durham, vice chancellor for aca­ demic affairs, said the department chairs must cover the classes themselves or find other professors to do so. Dr. Terry Cole, communications department chair, said the one faculty member in the communications depart­ ment who couldn't make it up the moun­ tain teaches journalism, which Cole does not teach. "The requirement that depart­ ment chairs must cover for them (absent professors) is nice in theory but you can't always find people free during that hour," Cole said. During last year's icy conditions, faculty members contacted local media themselves to advise them of individual class cancellations. The Appala­ chian News Bureau released a statement in November that they would notify local media such as WASU, WATA and Cable Channel 6 of university closings. The statement also said that the university reserves the right to cancel classes during inclement weather. Al- Pat Morgan Reporter The Appalachian State Univer­ sity Office of Housing Operations will conduct lotteries for students wishing to live in Appalachian Heights Apartments, Newland Hall and Winkler Hall for the Fall Semester of 1995. Three separate lotteries will be held after current residents have been given an opportunity to reclaim their rooms. Each lottery will consist of the random drawing of applications until all of the remaining spaces have been filled. Students didn't just hit the books this week. They also hit the slopes on skis, snowboards, sleds, anything they could find.

The inclement weather policy, according to Academic Af­ fairs, said the chanceUor consults the vice chancellor for business affairs, the associate vice chancel­ lor for business affairs for physi­ cal operations and the director of public safety to assess the need to cancel classes. Factors to aid the decision include wind chUl factor; tempera­ ture, road conditions, conditions of parking lots and conditions of university walkways. Any or aU of these factors may play a role in the decision-making process. "It is, however, suggested that wind chill factors in excess of 35 degrees be­ low zero to be a major factor in the decision-making process," the policy said. Harmon said the chancellor's office contacts the highway patrol beginning at 6 a.m. on inclement weather days. The office maintains contact through­ out the day in case conditions change. 'The roads are hazardous but not impassable," said Harmon. She said more emphasis is placed on walkways than on road­ ways since the campus houses so many students.

Reid said the new lottery system was implemented after the Office of Housing Operations had contacted various student organi­ zations, including SGA, the Cam­ pus Resident Student Association, as well as the individual RSA rep­ resentatives from each of the residence haUs. "What the students told us was, 'We want something that gives us a fair shot at getting into some of the different types of hous­ ing,"' said Reid. "Based on student input, I think we came up with a pretty good system." Originally, students would have had to decide which resi­ dence haU they wished to live in before an overaU lottery. However, after conferring with student groups, the decision was made to stagger the lotteries, so that stu­ dents who did not get into a par­ ticular haU would still be able to have a chance to get into the other two. Students wishing to either reclaim an apartment or enter the lottery for Appalachian Heights must apply in groups of four or eight, must currently live on cam­ pus, and have accumulated 57 or more undergraduate hours by the end of this semester. Those wishing to live in Winkler or Newland Halls must live on campus and have 28 or more hours by Spring 1995. Winkler Hall applicants must ap­ ply in groups of four or eight, while Newland HaU applicants can only apply in groups of four. The results of each lottery will be posted in each residence hall at noon on Feb. 10 (Appala­ chian Heights), Feb.14 (Newland) and Feb. 20 (Winkler).

App cares about the environrT policy needed The fight for Howard's Knob should not end witfn The Boone winter we've all been waiting for is finally here. With yesterday's first big snow comes the an­ nual griping about the university's weather policy, or lack thereof. With snow falling continuously throughout yesterday, students faced a greater challenge getting back home than they did trying to get to class. Many wondered, "Why the heck aren't classes canceled? What is the university's policy anyway?" According to academic affairs, the university's policy simply states, well, nothing. The policy spends a lot of time describing who will decide if classes are canceled, and no time at all telling stu­ dents what circumstances, if there are any, would cause the decision-makers to actu­ ally cancel classes. The policy does state that the fol­ lowing factors will be considered: wind chill factor (a 35 below zero wind chill is considered a "major factor"), temperature, road conditions and conditions of park­ ing lots and university walkways. There is no need for ASU to hold up its reputation of "being tough and go­ ing to class no matter what" at the expense of student safety. And yes, there are those who believe students will just get hurt try­ ing to go skiing if classes are canceled. But The Appalachian staff doesn't know too many students who enjoy racing down from the top of a mountain in 20 below zero temperatures. — Robert Robertson Columnist - but only if they try.

Doesn't skiing have the highest death risk? Can any other sport make your nose run like a faucet even when you don't have a cold? In what sport is it more likely that your ears will fall off than you will sprain an ankle? The answer to all of these questions is skiing. I have come to the conclusion that when I signed up for a Monday night ski class I signed up to get embarrassed. I am not working out; I'm freaking If you think about it, a skier spends very little time actually exercising. Most of my time is spent putting expensive equipment on, riding the ski lift or warming up inside the ski lodge. When I am actuky going down the slopes the only muscles I seem to use are my calves.

Or what of the Burger King commercial for "The Lion King" when there is a whole restaurant of Caucasians singing that ridicu­ lous, "in the jungle, the mighty jungle" song? Is that a stereotype of Caucasians? I think not. It is simply an advertisement directed at a specific audience by the group of morons who make commer­ cials. I understand Locke's other points, but I don't think correct­ ing the situation (racism) is as hopeless as she portrays it. With cooperation between the races in­ stead of competition, I think the situation can be and is being changed.

I 'Tals^ Profs too vocal on student issues Faculty 'Vote Yes1 ad unneeded Steven MacKay Guest Columnist In last Tuesday's (Jan. 31) issue of 'The Appalachian" I saw something that startled me. It was an ad that some professors took out proclaiming the virtues of the ACES campaign. This ad said "The Center for the Development of Social Re­ sponsibility supports ACES and encourages students to VOTE YES..." Underneath this banner was a quote by Dr. Bud Gerber, who called the campaign "most honorable." To the right of this was a list of about 40 professors who also voiced their support. The fact that a group of professors can publicly proclaim their support for one cause over another scares me. Don't get me wrong; I'm an absolute supporter of the First Amendment, and whatever their be­ lief, it should be heard and respected. However, professors need to be wary of their power over stu­ dents. If a professor publicly advocates support for a cause or a politi­ cal candidate, whether it be in class or in an ad in the paper, they need to consider the effect it will have on students. It may not even be a change in voting, but a change in political belief or a silencing of those that the student already holds. Professors have an immense power, in the form of grades, over students. I'm not suggesting that professors would punish students over how they vote or think, but students may see it as an obligation to do as their professor does - possibly out of a real or imagined fear. It has happened in the past. I have seen students voice their political beliefs that don't coincide with a professor's and suffer for it. It has happened to me. In a class a few years ago, I advocated a conservative viewpoint against my professor's liberal one. I was all but ignored after that point. A few weeks ago, one of my professors confronted me over the "Say No to ACES" sticker I was wearing. Situations like this are not good. For a split second I felt obli­ gated to change my views to appease my instructor. However, I held my ground. I just hope there will be no repercussions for my actions. What really scares me is that some students may not hold their ground. I am not proclaiming that all students are blind calves with the IQs of roosters. However, there are many students who hang on their professor's every desire. I know some students who would paint them­ selves blue if their professor said to. Many of these students may end up changing their beliefs or vote a certain way to please their instruc­ tor. So, I ask that professors watch how they advocate support for causes or beliefs. For they may kill something more precious than a life, they may kill another belief. * « * THE. * * * * * * *W X T A * SNOVJ * * T>\CXFTS* out a sense of humor.

I was very im­ pressed by the passions that found inspiration in the ACES debate. As a "new" student I was dismayed at the apathetic attitude exhibited by the majority of the student body in November, which led me to the apparently erroneous conclusion that political activism was dead at ASU.

Judicial board offers students experience To the Editor: Students on the campus of ASU are unfortunately not very aware of the policy nor procedure pertaining to the judicial affairs of the university. As a student judi­ cial board member, I am frequently asked, "Student judicial board? What do you do - suspend people?" Well, the answer a lot of the time is YES, we do suspend people. I got involved with the ju­ dicial board because I was inter­ ested in the law and fair judicial process for students. We hear cases where stu­ dents violate the alcohol policy, visitation, assault...etc. Basically, anything that happens on our cam­ pus that violates the code of stu­ dent conduct rests in the hands of judicial affairs. Some of the board members are selected to serve on the academic integrity board and review cases of plagiarism and cheating. Why am I telling you all of this? I am extending to the stu­ dents of Appalachian the invitation to apply to become members of the student judicial board. It is a huge honor that should not be taken lightly. The application process is fairly painless, but the possibilities are endless. You serve your school in a professional capacity and act as a university official. You learn about communication, student at­ titudes and how to deal with ad­ ministration first hand. Kimrey M.

Steven Mackay Writer Only in America could two guys make records and a movie out of prank calls. Yet, that's exactly what Johnny Brennan and Kamal Ahmed, two dunderheads from Queens, did.

Unfortunately, "The Jerky Boys," movie is so lame that it'll make you wish the same thing. Johnny B. and Kamal call up some mobsters (led by the less-than-scary Alan Arkin) and insult them. Then they con­ vince the not-so-wise guys that they're vis­ iting hitmen from Chicago. When the mobsters figure out who Johnny and Kamal really are, not even the longest long distance can save the Boys. The jokes are few and far between, and the script is more out-of-date than a ro­ tary phone. I was really looking forward to this movie (I love the records), but it boils down to the excitement level of opening a phone bill. The Boys are hilarious on the phone, but these poor guys have zero screen cha­ risma. At least Kamal seems relaxed. Johnny is so nervous you can actually see his sweat. The funniest scenes are the handful of voice-overs on the phone and all of the different and unusual voices the Boys use.

While this may be the attitude ex­ pressed by some students, others are not nearly as enthusiastic about the whole affair; especially students who live off campus who must find a way to class. Michael Foley, a senior who lives off campus, drove to class with his room­ mate. "My roommate and I had to dig our way out of the driveway," said Foley. "We usually ride the AppalCart, but when it was late, we decided to drive." Arrnrrlinrv t-r\ m According to dispatcher Troy Greer of AppalCart, all the buses are getting around marginally well. "We've put snow chains on all the tires," said Greer. "Our biggest problem is that we're running about five to 10 minutes late." Evidently, the buses are running a little later than AppalCart thinks. Rob Robertson, who lives on 421, said he waited for the AppalCart for 20 min­ utes. Luckily, he was able to wait inside the veterinarian's office where the AppalCart stops. Once he got on the bus, a bit of a fright­ ening ride ensued. I he Cart has to go down a steep hill by the jail, and it slid," said Robertson. "Then it slid again going up Water Street, and we almost hit a truck. The drivers were making jokes over the radio about needing hazard pay" Robertson said. Even though the ride was somewhat scary, Robertson said he really appreciates all the drivers are doing, because without them, he wouldn't have been able to make it to campus at all. Even students who live on campus and walk to class experienced some trouble. Scarlett Wooten, who lives in Gardner Hall, said she was about 10 minutes late for her class. I didn t think the snow would slow me down as much as it did," said Wooten. Most students don't begrudge the fact that they had to be in class. Some, though, thought there should be some set guide­ lines regulating when classes should be canceled. One student suggested that an inch rule be imposed. If it snows six inches, for in­ stance, classes are canceled. Wooten, however, thought a wind chill guide would be more effective. If the wind chill is below a certain point," Wooten said, "classes should be canceled." For now, neither rain nor snow nor sleet will keep the hallowed halls of ASU closed. So bundle up, and, oh yeah, maybe if you walk with your back to the wind, you'll be okay. V 1 Campus was transformed into a winter wonderland this week. rea sno w of the season fell.

The show is soon put to bed with only one minor piece of editing required and only one minute of time left unfilled. That's an amazing accomplishment ac­ cording to Mauney, but not as amazing as Appalvision itself. "The fact that we're even doing it is great," he said. "Nothing like this has ever been attempted here at Appalachian." As the crew begins tearing down the set, all agree on one thing. This is the best show yet. "If I had the money I'd take the crew out to dinner," Mauney said at the conclusion of the show. "But I don't." Foreign Car Maintenance And Repairs DAYS GAMES • KM Starnes flys effortlessly through the first few segments of the show. "Stupid Food", a skit consisting of real products picked up from a lo­ cal grocer, is a hit with the audi­ ence. Dr. Cole's interview goes through flawlessly with just a few tense moments. They head for a commercial break as the crew in the control booth are looser then they had been at the beginning. A "commercial" runs for a class on how to be a talk show host. As the commercial ends another skip happens on tape. Then disaster strikes. A computer called the "toaster" which contriols vidoetape misfires and a tape from weeks ago begins playing across the screen. Brown sees the screen, shrieks, grabs two handfuls of his own hair and plops his head down on the desk. "Arrgggghhhhh!!!" The crew set about pausing all the tapes then discover they lost track of the show's time. As tapes rewind and the time is set, the crew and audience get an unex­ pected 15 minute break. Someone announces the score of the Carolina-Maryland game over the headset, 39-38 Maryland, and one of the camera operators begins a victory dance on the floor. Starnes sits behind the desk and jokes with Brown as Foster takes the time to relax on the set. Dr. Cole develops his own theory regarding the delay. "This is a delay for newer equip­ ment, right?" he says. The crew needs the laugh. It breaks the ten­ sion. Soon the tapes are ready to roll as Starnes prepares to introduce the band. Suddenly, he grabs a box of "People Crackers" dog biscuits and takes a bite as the show re­ sumes. The audience and the crew love it.

(Photo by Rett Buttler) ASU signs USC too much for lady Apps eleven new recruits Daryl Stevens Staff Writer ecialto The Appalachian al * The Mountaineer men's basketball team returned home to Varsity Gym Monday night to take on the Georgia South­ ern Eagles. Appalachian was coming off of a 76-60 loss at Furman that dropped their record to 6-14 overall and 2-5 in the Southern Conference. A win at home would be cru­ cial in keeping the team's head above water in the confer­ ence race. The 60-53 victory over the Eagles turned out to be the life preserver the Mountaineers needed. The Apps jumped out early and took control of the game from the outset. A pair of Clint Crosston free throws at the 12:11 mark of the first half gave the Mountaineers a 21-12 advantage, the largest lead the Apps would enjoy. Georgia Southern then started roaring back behind the play of Tim Heath. Heath scored 13 points and grabbed five rebounds before the break as the Eagles pulled ahead to a 36-31 halftime lead. The Mountaineers still seemed to be in their shoot­ ing slump, connecting on only 40.7 percent of their first half shots. The Apps turned the ball over nine times in the first stanza and were out-rebounded by Georgia South­ ern, but terrible shooting by the Eagles, 37 percent from the field, was enough to keep the Mountaineers within striking distance. In the second half, Appalachian started to chip away at the Eagle advantage. Strong interior play by Kareem Livingston and Chad McClendon pushed the Mountaineers to a 52-52 tie with 6:00 left in the game. The score remained knotted until a pair of Crosston free throws gave the Apps a 54-52 lead, their first since late in the first half. Junior Braswell then salted away the remaining time by getting a layup and hitting 2 of 5 free throws on the way to the 60-53 final score. Georgia Southern had only 17 points in the entire second half. The Eagles never really got on track offen­ sively, shooting a scant 36 percent for the game. However, GSU was not the team guilty of bricklaying. The Mountaineers also shot 36 percent from the field but somehow managed 29 second half points to get the win. It was ugly, but it counts. McClendon led the charge for the Apps with 12 points and a game-high 11 rebounds. Tige Darner had a big game with 11 points and four assists. Braswell also contributed with eight points and nine boards. Next upior the Mountaineers will be the Wildcats of Davidson. The Apps will try to avenge the Jan. 23 loss in Davidson where the Mountaineers came up on the short end of a 74-71 score. CO t Appalachian State's head Football Coach Jerry Moore recently announced the signing of 11 recruits to the football team. Ten high school seniors and one junior college player signed national let­ ters of intent to play at Appalachian for the 1995 season. According to Moore, the recruiting was handicapped a bit by the limited num­ ber of scholarships available for incom­ ing players. The scholarship spaces were limited due to the fact that the Mountaineers had only nine seniors on the roster for the 1994 season. The limited number of scholarships Put the emphasis on quality. "With just 11 ^nnts available, quality was very, very, important in our recruitment this year," said Moore. "We were even more selec­ tive than normal, and we have always been extremely selective in bringing 7°ung men into our program." Moore and his staff are very happy with the signings of the eleven players. The program got the players they really Wanted. Applachian's football team looks to improve on their successful '94 cam­ paign, only losing nine seniors and pickmS up the 11 quality athletes. Moore was concerned about attract­ ing players with the limited number of foholarships. "We haven't been this lim­ ited tin number of recruits to sign] and Wefe concerned at the outset of fruiting...we might not be able to attract all of our first choices, but it was just the opposite. We were able to sign the top Payers we wanted in all 11 recruits. I'm VerY pleased about that fact, both for our stafT and the young men who will be jointeg us this fall," said Moore. To win a shoot-out back in the days of the Old West, a combination of smarts, skill, and technique was necessary. Appa­ lachian State has all of these qualities, but its game versus South Carolina on Tliesday night revealed that at least one thing was missing from the Mountaineers' bag of tricks. Bullets. Andreia Hinton's 22 points and eight boards in 21 minutes of playing time was perhaps one of the tightest performances by a member of Coach Linda Robinson's 1994-95 team. Hinton's heroics, however, were destined to be ill-fated, as Appalachian State lost its first road game of the year, 98-79. Gamecock guard Shannon Johnson, who was selected to the Sunbank Holiday Classic All-Tournament Team dur­ ing winter break in Florida, scorched ASU for a career-high 44 points, 11 rebounds, six assists, and no turnovers. The fact that Johnson attempted and made more free throws (9 for 14) than the entire Moun­ taineers squad (5 of 10) could be cause for concern when conference tourney time rolls around in three weeks. App forward Karolina Karlqvist, also a member of Sunbank's All-Stars in December, could not recapture the magic she found in Orlando. The junior managed six points and a pair of assists against South Carolina, a far different story from her 23 points and five treys at ASU's first encounter with USC. App won that earlyseason battle, 70-64. Five hundred forty-three fans watched ASU fall behind early and trail 43-34 at halftime. Appalachian's hopes of beating their Southeastern Conference foe for the second time deflated as Carolina (10-10) maintained fifty percent shooting in both halves. Senior Beth Kilby put down 16 points, including four three-pointers. But A closer look at mascotts |Sports Commentary Stephen Hensley Assistant Sports Reporter A mascot says a lot about the team. Coaches and players come and go, but a mascot usually lasts forever. Here is my opinion on some of the better and some of the worst mascots to come down the pike. BAD: When a mascot has nothing at all to do with the team it represents. East Tennessee State and the city of Pittsburgh are both guilty of this blunder. The ETSU Buccanneers and the Pittsburgh Pirates in­ trigue me because they come from land­ locked states. There's never been a pirate in Tennessee or Pittsburgh because there's not an OCEAN! GOOD: I prefer mascots that really get in touch with the area from whence they came. The Texas Rangers, Florida Gators, and Detroit Pistons all have good nick­ names. They sort of capture the spirit of their town. BAD: I understand that clubs move around, but why didn't the New Orleans Jazz change their name when they moved to Utah? Mormons don't listen to jazz; they listen to the Osmonds. The Lakers are another example of the phenomenon. Minnesota may be the land of 10,000 lakes, but when the Minneapolis Lakers moved to L.A. they had to notice there wasn't a lake in town. Then you get to the mascots that are just plain bizarre. What's with the Marshall Thundering Herd? A Herd of what? Furthermore, what's a Hoya? The picture is a bulldog, so they should just be the Bulldogs and leave it at that. If I had my way, and I rarely do, I would make some mascot changes. Try these on for size. New Jersey Pollutants California Tremors Appalachian State Floridians Arkansas Double Wides Buffalo Wings New Orleans Hangovers BRING IT BACK!! Do you remember when you were a kid, all the fun things that would come on t.v.? Take pro wrestling for example. When I was a kid, everybody watched wrestling on Saturday morning. The Junk Yard Dog was more than just a man, he was a legend. But now wresding is lame, everything is on pay per view. Dusty Rhodes doesn't get beaten up in the park­ ing lot anymore. There are no more pesky Russian tag teams to anger the fans into an uproar. Like an old banana in the sun, pro wrestling has turned soft. Wrestling wasn't the only sweet nour­ ishing tidbit for a young sports fan to feast upon on a Sunday afternoon. On special days, Battle of the Network Stars came on. It was a chance to watch your favorite celebrities embarrass themselves while trying to play sports. I'm sure not many of you remember the fifty yard dash that pitted "Soap's" Billy Crystal against a young David Letterman from the Carol Burnette Show. You should have seen it. Crystal won, barely. QUICK TAKES: Appalachian's Merideth Thompson racked up 6 points in a loosing effort as South Carolina topped ASU 79-98. (File Photo) the Gamecocks, unlike most of Appalachian's opponents this year, had enough stamina to match ASU bomb for bomb. South Carolina out shot App 11 to 10 from the arc, a feat worthy of note con­ sidering that the Mountaineers have taken more than twice as many threes (and made three times as many) as their oppo­ nents in 1994-95. Carolina's Johnson drained seven treys alone, four more than any other individual player has made against the Lady Apps this season. App point guard Shannon Spencer and USC guard Natalie Funderburk were in a particularly giving mood, handing out six and eight assists, respectively. South Carolina, though, was so generous (23 assists as a team) that the Gamecocks must have thought Christmas time had re­ turned. Perfecdy understandable, consid­ ering the weather of the past week, but see Lady Apps page 12 Deion Sanders, Shaquille O'neal, and Dana Barros all have released music vid­ eos this year. Has it hampered their play? No way, all three were placed on All Star teams in their respective sports this sea­ son. Maryland defeated the mighty North Carolina Tarheels Tuesday night. The Heels spent all of one day in the top spot. Dean, I hope you enjoyed it; its a lovely ride down. Monday, Feb. 27, Western Carolina will come into Boone to face the Appala­ chian men's basketball team.

Right now ASU has neither. It is time for a major over­ haul of our basketball program. A new dedication to winning is the only thing that can turn the pro­ gram around. Students and fac­ ulty have been arguing for years over the need for a new gym, but what is the point of getting a new gym when you cannot fill the stands in the current one? Maybe the answer is not a new coach or a change in the ath­ letic department, but something has got to give. Before making any decisions as to the future of the men's basketball program, I strongly urge the administration to take a good look at all of thenoptions and at least check into which coaches are on the market for a new team.

Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski said he is very proud of the students. "I thought it was an excellent debate on an issue that captured the spirit of many stu­ dents on campus," he said. Borkowski said he would con­ tinue to look into ways to save Howard's Knob. 'We need to begin by expanding the SGA Howard's Knob fund," Adams said. This fund was established Jan. 9 at Adams' request, and is being operated through the Appalachian Foundation. "We can start by letting students, faculty and the community know about the fund," he said. Schofield said he is willing to work with anyone who has an alternative plan for saving Howard's Knob. "We will work together with all interested parties in order to develop a plan that will ad­ dress these issues if one arises. I expect more student-based initiatives in the fu­ ture," he said. In regard to alternative transpor­ tation, Schofield announced that he ex­ pects construction of bike lanes on the105 extension between highways 321and 421 to begin this summer, pending final ap­ proval. Spiritual Healing... Now that the Appalachian Com­ munity and Environmental Stewardship (ACES) referendum has failed, Howard's Knob is fair game for either private land­ owners or advocates. Florida land devel­ oper Monte Green said he will place the land back on the market this week for much more than $600,000. "I've held off for two and half years. I've been bending over backward," he said. "My main concern is building my own house. Then I want to do what's best for the environment." Green said after he builds his house, he will subdivide the lots and at­ tempt to sell them for well over the fair market value of $313,000, according to the most recent appraisal commissioned by the Trust for Public Land. "The appraisal was certainly not correct," Green said. "The county consid­ ers it worth much more." By selling multiple acres Green said he hopes to "place less strain on the See Next Page 4 ACC succeeds for Arkansas Allison Pennell Reporter Manya Brachear for a "roadhouse" approach. Two to three organizations wil occupy one large build­ ing. Each organization will have a private basement for functions, a private kitchen and parlor area and separate living quar­ ters. Helm said the cost of the project will be shared by all students just as the cost for all new housing projects taken on Members of the Appalachian Con­ vocation Center committee will soon travel to Arkansas to study the contents and construction of its model convocation center at Arkansas State University. Carol Albritton, director of the convocation center in Arkansas, said their arena has fulfilled all the purposes that they had ever dreamed of, and then some. "We're doing things we had not anticipated," Albritton said. "We do ro­ deos, circuses and ice shows. A Monster Truck show has even been done." The arena will seat 10,529 people for basketball purposes and 11,700 for certain concerts. During a Garth Brooks concert, 11,722 were allowed in before sales were cut off, Albritton said. The extra 22 people were allowed to stand. According to Albritton, many people had questioned the need for such an arena for a college where only 9,00010,000 attend. "We currently do many ban­ quets," Albritton said. "We feed 2,800 people. Nobody had ever thought of that." The center has also been used for graduations, Albritton said. They have graduations in May, December and Au­ gust. In May, 1,800 graduates with ap­ proximately four guests each filled the arena. Local high school graduations are performed there for a fee. "We allow for seven high school proms in the month of May," Albritton said. "A school 50 miles away attends. We can serve meals for them, too." "It's a multi-purpose facility," Abritton said. "Everything either rolls or folds." The Arkansas convocation center has 193,000 square feet under its roof. Their center also holds adminis­ trative offices, coaches' offices, athletic operations, storage, meeting rooms, a kitchen facility, and a 300-seat lecture room. Abritton said academics uses the See Feasibility page 2 See Arkansas Page 2 News Editor "We're further now then we've ever been. We've come a long way," said Melanie Covington, Panhellenic's repre­ sentative on the university committee for Greek Housing. Following a meeting on Friday to narrow down the architect, Covington said she expects to see what's commonly re­ ferred to as the Greek Village spring up within the next two to three years. The committee is currently undertaking a fea­ sibility study to determine whether or not the housing project is possible. Jim Street, assistant director of the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership said discussions have centered around Greek housing for about 14 years. However, serious discussion began about three years ago. Covington said the university pushed for the idea then but the students did not favor it because the proposed site at that time was State Farm. The latest site discussed so far, ac­ cording to Covington, has been on land above Appalachian Heights apartments, toward Broyhill Inn. This site would be accessible to AppalCart routes and South lot would provide plenty of room for park­ ing, said Covington. She said an exten­ sion to Hwy. 105 might also be in the works for easier access. Jane Helm, vice chancellor for business affairs and chair of the commit­ tee said any land belonging to the univer­ sity was a possibility. While some Greek members have argued that the Broyhill location would isolate the Greek organizations from the university community, Covington said she thinks the close living quarters will im­ prove relations between the different or­ ganizations. Invitations have been sent out to four architectural firms to make presen­ tations for the project. The four finalists No.31 What's next for the knob? Reporter In the largest voter turn-out in recent history at Appalachian, students rejected the proposed Appalachian Com­ munity and Environmental Stewardship (ACES) fee by a convincing margin. Of 3,431 total votes, or about 29 percent of those eligible, 1,909 students voted against ACES and 1,499 students voted in support of it. (23 votes were mismarked.) Hunter Schofield, co-author of ACES, said the knowledge he and other supporters obtained from the campaign will be useful for them in the future. "We are very proud, I think our volunteers per­ formed brilliantly," he said. Schofield is happy with what was accomplished during the campaign. "ACES has brought the issue of the democratic process, in respect to student fees, to ASU, and that is no small accomplishment," he said. Student Government Association President J.D.

The turn­ out was the largest ever in a student vot­ ing situation, as 3,408 students voiced an opinion. There are two major problems with this: the first is that approximately 7,500 students didn't have an opinion or didn't voice it; second, some had no clue about the opinion they voiced. In a study done by the Higher Educa­ tion Research Institute, "college freshmen are less interested and involved in poli­ tics [current issues] than ever before." The highest turnout in student voting history begins to seem rather bleak when eral government.

The young man responded that he was not versed on the issues (ob­ viously a tunnel-vision victim when cruis­ ing campus or perusing The Appalachian), and was therefore not participating. The "concerned" campaigner then said, "the issues don't really matter, it just matters that to vote [for our side] is right, and we would appreciate your support." The uninformed, but potential voter then proceeded to the ballot box to cast a vote on an issue he did not know the first thing about. If nothing else, this referendum has gone to show that there is an abundance of ignorance and apathy in the system in which we brag about freedom, but don't see Apathy page 6 s there an afterlife for the ACES fee? aware that the proposed fee increase was narrowly de­ feated in the referendum.

Nor am I likely to stand at attention when, one day, a Taco Bell sign is hoisted up on the Knob like the raising of the flag over Iwo Jima. In fact, I congratulate the "Vote Yes" camp for, if nothing else, continuing to earnestly express their views on an issue that so many others became so thoroughly sick of hearing about within one-third of the time. So the inevitable question arises: what does the future hold for post-ACES ASU? Are we to simply cast aside our propaganda, bed-sheet banners, and ridiculous Yes/ No stickers to embrace the dull, tedious, yet somehow necessary process of continuing our educations? Will we so easily forget the ideological divide that has made cam­ pus life so much more fun these past few months? Probably not. Just as the bacillus which causes bu­ bonic plague is never truly wiped out, the well-meaning busy-bodies who originally came up with the whole quix­ otic idea will one day rise again to make themselves the butt of bad jokes. Maybe not the exact same people, but surely these student-activist types abound, at least in lar­ val form, in the freshman class. And when the current reaction against them has peaked, they will flourish dur­ ing the next dearth of sensible, analytical thinking and raise their collective hoary head to tilt with the prevail­ ing ideological windmills of the future. Watch for "The Return of ACES, part XXVII: The Undead Rise." Not only that, but the next wave may prove even more resilient then the present one. They may do their home­ work in advance, learning a few of the facts before, as opposed to after, then form their opinions and attempt to strike fear into the hearts of the populace. They may break with their principles and secretly test their ideas on laboratory animals before exposing them to unwit­ ting concerned citizens. They could even attempt to seize the middle ground by choosing leaders who make more of an attempt to project a professional image, and, per­ haps most importantly, can think and speak in complete see Afterlife page 6 �Page 6 The Appalachian, Tuesday *7 ^ Apatfvy Party Send yourlettjr continued from page 5 use. continued from page 5 Hood and his merry band of S.A.VE. members do now?

Cravin' Melon is a four-piece band out of Greeneville that formed in February of 1993. The four members, J.J. Bowers (bass) Rick Reames (drums) Doug Jones (vocals) and Jim Chapman (guitar) knew each other from their days at Clemson University. Before Melon, Reames and Chapman were with Next Move, and Jones and Bowers were in a band called Doghouse. They left their respective bands and put their common vision to­ gether to form Cravin' Melon. In just a few short years they have already become a headlining act and a major staple of the music scene in the Southeast. Their sound comes from a melodic mix of electric and acoustic gui­ tars, and has been described as a mixture of Toad the Wet Sprocket and Drivin' N' Cryin' with bits of bands like Big Head Todd and the Monsters, Gin Blossoms, and R.E.M. Greensboro's own Bus Stop will also take stage Thursday night. Bus Stop is an R&B based rock band who pull from such varied influences as Motown, reggae, disco, and southern boogie. The band is known for two things- the ability to incite a crowd and excellent musicianship. Evan Olson on vocals has brought to mind such singers as Prince (or if you must, the artist formally known as...), Michael Hutchence from INXS, Elvis Costello and Van Morrison. Chick Folds on bass, Eddie Walker on drums, and Snuzz on guitar have been repeatedly noted for their tightness and groove. The two bands will bring their high energy show to Legends Thursday. Tick­ ets are $4 in advance for students, and $5 at the door for students and guests. Doors open at 9 p.m. "Higher Learning" takes place on the kional Columbus University which is pimably in California.

Vazquez Reporter J J Bowers (bass), Rick Reames (drums) Doug Jones (vocals) and Jim Chapman (Guitar) create the electrified acoustic band known as Cravin' Melon. Bus Stop includes Evan Olson (vocals) Chick Folds (bass), Eddie Walker (drums) Snuzz (guitar). The band features R&B based rock. Both play at Legends Thursday. Catfish Jenkins, one of Athens, Ga.'s top up-and-coming bands, will be appear­ ing at the Klondike Cafe tomorrow night in support of their latest album, "Normaltown." In a little over two years, Catfish Jenkins has gained a strong following throughout the Southeast as a result of their tireless touring. They are currently in the midst of a promotional tour which has taken them as far west as Colorado, opening for a variety of acts, including Widespread Panic and Blues Traveler. Aside from being a strong performing band, Catfish Jenkins' sound has been described as melodic, laid-back and South­ ern, with a pop-rock appeal. "Catfish Jenkins is one of the most prom­ ising new bands to come out of Athens," said John Keane, the album's producer. Keane, who has worked closely with R.E.M. and Indigo Girls, employed his unique skill and style to record "Normaltown," giving it a distinctly clean sound. The album, released by Kudzu Records, is named for the section of Athens in which the band lives. This area's inhabitants are an eclectic mix of people- college students, social misfits and artists. "While driving down the streets, Normaltown seems, well, normal. But in reality, if you get out of the car and hang with the locals, Normaltown takes on an entirely new identity. Catfish Jenkins' songs project this same revelation: things are not what they seem," reads a Kudzu press release. Opening for Catfish Jenkins will be Sound of Mine. Showtime is 10 p.m., and admission should be under $5. IV til II Faculty Recital Series showcases baritone soloist Special to the Appalachian Baritone Joseph Amaya will be the featured soloist tonight at 8 p.m. in Rosen Concert Hall. The concert is part of the School of Music's Faculty Recital Series, and admission is free. The program, titled "Passages," deals with stages of a man's life. Childhood is represented by "Four Childhood Fables for Adults" by Irving Fine. The "Young and Restless" stage of a man's life is depicted by two arias from Menotti operas, "Amelia Goes to the Ball" and "Old Maid and the Thief," and "When I think Upon the Maid­ ens" by Michael Head. In the next stage, which he calls "Se­ riously Romantic," Amaya will perform five songs by Richard Strauss. Fatherhood is represented with the "Soliloquy" from Richard Rogers' "Carou­ sel." For perhaps the most serious stage in a man's life, "Marriage," Amaya will pre­ miere "Songs of Matrimony" by School of Music faculty member William Harbinson. Harbinson has written music for poems by Edgar Allan Poe, an eighth century Japanese guard, Tennessee Williams and James Whitcomb Riley. "Old But Still Ro­ mantic" features selections from "Don Quichotte a Dulcinee" by Ravel. Dr. Rodney Reynerson will accompany Amaya on the piano. Amaya joined the School of Music fac­ ulty in 1989. He directs the university's opera workshop and has appeared in more than 30 cities in the United States and Canada as a concert artist and in leading operatic roles.

The weather outside was frightful, but ASU warmed up in the second half, scoring 54 in the last period to put Western Carolina away, 96-74. The game, originally scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 4, was postponed 24 hours because of 01' Man Winter's weekend tan­ trum. That did not distract the Lady Mountaineers. Appalachian's seventh straight win leaves the team with a 15-3 record on the season. Shannon Spencer led all scorers with 16 points as Appalachian State swept Western (6-13,1-7 Southern Conference) on the season. Five other ASU players reached double figures in scoring, and Appalachian used this balanced attack to stay a step ahead the en­ tire afternoon. ASU (7-1 conference) never trailed after Spencer drained a three-pointer to give App a 6-5 advantage. Twenty-two turnovers hounded the visiting team, and the catalyst of ASU's defense was Spencer. The junior guard continually picked Western's pockets in the backcourt, collecting six steals on the day. Hope swelled for Western Carolina late in the second half, when the Catamounts muscled back from a 26-point deficit to within 13, at 78-65, with five min­ utes remaining. The Apps had fallen into foul trouble guards Leigh Jones and Spencer were both playing with four fouls apiece. An over-the-shoulder, no-look shot by WCU forward Pam Owens with 5:02 left in the con­ test disqualified center Andreia Hinton, and allowed Western to complete a three-point play. Appalachian's grip on the lead did not loosen. Down the stretch, Spencer put down six points, includ­ ing four straight free throws, allowing ASU to put the game out of reach with an 18-9 surge. David Willis Reporter Atlantic Coast Conference basketball, only halfway through the 1994-1995 sea­ son, has already been one to remember. Prior to the start of the season, who would have thought that: 1. Clemson would be nationally ranked, after losing its most talented player, Devin Gray, for the rest of the season? 2. Perennial powerhouse Duke has found a new home in the depths of the cellar. 3. Georgia Tech may have finally found the consistency that it has so desperately needed. 4. The Wolfpack has proven, at least to me, that they are finally back. 5. Maryland has, for the first time since Len Bias, returned to national promi­ nence. 6. Wake Forest has the best center in the league. 7. Carolina has found this season's lack of depth much more friendly than last year's incredible wealth on the bench. 8. Virginia has still not found a shot. 9. Finally, Florida State, despite their record, is the least talented team in the conference. As far as memorable games go, I believe four stand above the rest. The first two involve Duke in a couple of doubleovertime thrillers against Virginia and see 7th Straight page 10 Andreia Hinton's 11 points and six rebounds helps ASU defeat Western NC.

The rest of the time, they were near the bottom. And Duke was running away to their annual trip to the Final Four, starting in 1986. There were a few years that they didn't go, but that wasn't very often. My hope is, even though I am a Carolina fan, that Duke's slide is largely due to Coach K being out from back surgery.

The first and sec­ ond students' chests read "D" and "U", and the fourth's was painted with an "E." But the third guy had a ques­ tion mark on his chest. As in, where's (Coach) K? GREAT EXPECTATIONS Poor Pete Gaudet. He had to step up and direct things while Mike Kryzyzewski recovers from a back injury. It's no wonder expe­ rienced, successful coaches in any sport seem to be white-haired, bald, surly, or in constant danger of heart attack (see Bob Knight, Mike Ditka, Dean Smith, Tommy Lasorda ...). Running a program with better than passing success is not as simple as it seems to all of the couch prodigies out here. Do you want proof? Think about Dallas Cowboy coach Barry Switzer. Although the Cowboys fell to the 49ers this year, the specula­ tion that anything Jess than a third straight Super Bowl win would be a failure was, and is, off the mark. "Anybody could come into that situation, with that talent, and guide Dallas to the playoffs," said a lot of fans. The situation in Durham proves that theory wrong. The situ­ ation also reveals Coach K's worth to Duke's program (as if any fur­ ther evidence is even needed, af­ ter the success of the last decade or so). Wins don't come from ex­ cuses. However, the Devils are re­ alizing what champions since time immemorial have known: life at the top is much harder than the journey. Therefore, until Duke ei­ ther gets back on the winning track or grows accustomed to .500 sea­ sons, they will continue to fall be­ low the anticipations of the aver­ age statistic-guzzling fan. SIDE NOTE Keeping in pace with this week's Duke theme: freshman Trajan Langdon was picked in the sixth round of the major league baseball draft last year, out of high school, by the San Diego Padres. M0REDUKIE You hate him, but you know you pay attention when a feature tbout him hits the evening sports news. He's a devil with a pretty face, a man who probably will al­ ways be famous for two very dif­ ferent images: stomping on a Ken­ tucky player's chest in 1992 and throwing .up a prayer to win that same NCAA tournament game. Somehow, Christian Laettner's destiny after Duke ties in with the Blue Devils' 1994-95 tribulations. He was the first player to start in a Final Four in each of his four sea­ sons at Duke, and his high school career was nearly as prosperous, as unbelievable as that sounds. Losing game after game in Minnesota has to be a drastic let­ down after so many wins. It's ob­ vious that Laettner has been frus­ trated since he entered Minneapo­ lis city limits, and in truth, there's not much sympathy for him among anyone but Duke fans. Yet here is where the spec­ ter of Winning hops upon Laettner's back. Only Shaquille and Alonzo went before him in 1992's draft, and he was third in rookie scoring behind those same two men (a feat worth mention­ ing, considering the '92 draft in­ cluded such bombers as Jimmy Jackson and Tom Gugliotta). The Timberwolves still aren't winning, despite a growing pool of talent. Even Donyell Marshall and Isaiah Rider haven't stopped the bleeding. Laettner's outbursts against his teammates and coaches and the media are seen as childish conniptions. He shoves away the smiles and public-friendly atti­ tudes of the Grant Hills and John Salleys. His only concern is the game. This is the mindset of a true gladiator, and despite his reported shortcomings, Minnesota will be glad to have him when he reaches NBA maturity. �Page 12 The Appalachian, Tue Appalachian News, official I niversity News and ai , » » * '*' in each issue mine paper. uasic imormation, inc|U(l of the paper, Basic information, inch,'!"** • •"* description of your program will he included Und',"* -"4**"' must he submitted at least 8 days prior to the issue i r - t 4 ' " copy to David W.
