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

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

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

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

Government investigators discovered that Stanford used federal research grant money to pay for maintenance on a 72foot yacht, for antiques and flowers for Kennedy's university-owned house and for a party Kennedy threw to celebrate his new marriage.

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

We situated between Union Bay and Lake Washington. We're basically on a natural glass, and there are lots of bridges," ASU Justen said. "When schoolstarts there is a tremendous impact on the city." As aresult, the city passed an ordinance barring the university from adding any more parking spaces. The U-Pass is par­ tially a result of that and partially the result of successful programs elsewhere. Another university with a problem be­ cause of its city's unique natural design is the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Madison is an isthmus—a narrow stretch of land connecting two larger pieces of land. That has caused diminished parking space and increased headaches for everyone, both students and residents. To park in Madison for a prolonged period of time, people purchase permits for off-street parking and for 48-hour per­ mits in special areas. Police are serious about enforcement. In 1988 they issued 175,000 tickets; in 1990, 183,000 tickets. Through August 1991, the parking division alone has is­ sued about 100,000 tickets. Sgt. Victor Lambert, who heads park­ ing enforcement in the traffic bureau, said his unit justdeals with on-street violators. "We're very strict. We have 18 people who just give tickets," he said. In addi­ tion, another city traffic division stations officers at the city's parking garages to write tickets. New police bicycle patrol unitson some campuses are issuing more tickets,adding to the challenge students face on a daily basis. The new obstacles aren't making stu­ dents happy campers. "All dressed up and nowhere to park," began an editorial in the Michigan State News. "'No Parking' signs have become old hat and free parking spaces are re­ vered..." Just before the University of New Mexico announced its plans to build an­ other parking facility, an editorial in the Daily Lobo suggested eliminating reserved parking spaces for the university big shots when the state Board of Regents meets at the school. "That would force the problem out into the open. It would be the 'mother of all parking headaches.'" "If that were to happen, how long do you think it would take before parking structures began sprouting up on campus?"

"We have reserved pages in the year­ book for coverage of campus clubs and organizations, but there will more than likely be more clubs sharing pages this year than last year, and the pictures are also likely to be smaller,"said Murray. Murray said there is a type of silent support among students for the year­ Murray said that seniors seem to like the idea of the yearbook and the maga­ zine. book. "The majority of Appalachian students don't buy the yearbook and don't get involved in it, but I think that when stu­ dents realize what kind of changes are being made, they will be more likely to voice their opinion." Murray said she is excited about the changes and is optimistic about the way the magazine and the yearbook will turn "The only real complaints I'vereceived were from parents who called and wanted to know why their children's pictures wouldn' t be in theyearbook," said Murray. "Photographers will still be here to take everyone's pictures, and everyone can still buy their pictures, but we will only be able to put the seniors' pictures in the yearbook." out.

The school will also raise fees in order to pay debts the school presently has. These include moneys going to the build­ ing of Trivett^ Hall, Quinn Center, Field House Addition, Physical Education Building and the student union expansion project. Because of rising textbook industry costs, rental costs are also proposed to rise. These fees, when added, will total approximately a S70 rise each semester. These fee increases do not include the specialized increases within the room and board area and for part-time students. Because of the proposed increase, Blimling and Zimmerman assured that financial aid will proportionally increase also. A student forum where Blimling and Zimmerman will answer questions con­ cerning proposed fee increases will take place on Monday, Oct. 28 at 6:30 pm. in room 135, Rankin Science Building.

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

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

CRAVER Appalachian Staff Writer The Appalachian State men's and women's cross-country squads traveled to Davidson Col­ lege Sat., Oct. 19 to compete in the North Carolina Collegiate Championships. The women ran to a second-place finish, while the men placed third in the meet. Men's Action Sophomore Billy Pemberton led the Mountain­ eers, finishing fifth overall at 26:03on Davidson's eight kilometer course, as ASU placed third in the meet with 74 points. Brevard College, reigning Junior College National Champions, won the meet with 40 points, followed by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with 50. Duke and Wake Forest followed ASU with 125 and 139 points respectively rounding out the top five squads of the 18-team field competing in the NCCC. "I was very pleased with our performance at Davidson, the terrain and condi tions of their course are tough, and I feel we have improved tremen­ dously over the season. Although some of the times may not appear to be exceptional, everyone did well considering the difficulty of the course," ASU Head Coach A1 Fereshetian said. Pemberton was folio wed by juniorBrian W atkins who finished 12th overall at 26:32. Senior Steve Simandle finished third for the Apps and 17th overall clocking 26:43. Freshman Brian Miesch turned in a 26:49clock­ ing to finish 19th overall and fourth for ASU, while senior Mike Bowers rounded out the top five, finishing 21st overall with an even time of 27 minutes. The Mountaineers will host the Southern Con­ ference Championships on Nov. 2 at Moses Cone Park. "ETSU is definitely the team to beat. They are one of the top five teams in the District HI region (the largest in the United States) and have only lost to powerful squads like North Carolina State and Tennessee. Marshall should be close to us for second, but I think we have the edge," Fereshetian said. Women's Action Senior Leigh Wallace and sophomore Nicole Disher turned in strong performances for the Lady Mountaineers,' Finishing seventh and ninth overall with respective times of 19:14 and 19:27 on the 5,000meter Davidson course as Appalachian State finished second in the NCCC with 65 points behind UNC's 43. Duke finished third with 91, followed by Wake Forest at 115, and the University of North Carolina at Wilmington totaled 138 to complete the top five teams of the 14 squad field. "This was a great finish to our regular season schedule. We are happy to earn a spot among the top three collegiate teams in the state," ASU Head Coach John Weaver said. Wallace and Disher were followed by senior Julie Anderson who clocked 19:35 to finish 14th overall and third for the Lady Apps. Seniors Dee Anna Davis and Janet Osada rounded out the top five, finishing 15th and 20th overall with respec­ tive times of 19:37 and 19:47. "N icole and Leigh both looked good in this race. Nicole has really come around this season and turned in some outstanding performances, and Leigh had a bad start as she got trapped in a pack in the first mile and was unable to get out due to the narrow trails, but she came back strong in the end," ASU Assistant Coach Todd Goewey said. The Lady Apps will look for their sixth consecu­ tive SC Championship Nov.2asASU hosts theSC meet. "We are preparing for the conference race and setting goals to win it, but it is not an easy thing to do. We are favored in the race, but on a given day, another team can creep in and defeat us," Goewey said. Apps blank Crusaders By WILL ROTHSCHILD Assistant Sports Editor Appalachian State won its second straight soc­ cer contest with a 2-0 decision over Belmont Ab­ bey Tuesday night in Kidd Brewer Stadium. The victory was ASU's third in its last five games and upped the Mountaineers' overall record to 4-9 on the season. Junior forward David Terry continued his ster­ ling season for Appalachian, scoring both goals for the Apps in the first half. Terry now has a teamhigh eight goals on the season and has scored the game winning goal in the last three Mountaineer victories. Last season, Terry was an All-Southem Conference pick and MVP of the SC Tourna­ ment. ASU Head Coach An Rex was pleased with Appalachian's performance against Belmont Ab­ bey, an NAIA powerhouse. "We played well early in the game," Rex said. "In the second half we sat on the lead, but that is characteristic of a young team." The Mountaineers were able to get into scoring position early and often Tuesday night, and re­ corded 10 shots on goal compared to orilyihree for Belmont Abbey. Freshman Jyri Lindeberg recorded an assist on Terry's second goal, giving him four on the season. Goalie Earl Morgan recorded four saves on the evening, helping to preserve Appalachian's recent string of good defensive play. In ASU's last five games, the opposition has been shut out twice while netting just five total goals. "The defense is tightening up a little more, even though we still have work to do," Rex explained. "We are playing a lot better defensively than we did early in the season, and we are not giving up the number of goals that we were early on." After starting 2-7 while playing all but two of their first nine contests on the road, Appalachian has appeared to gel as a team as of late. The Mountaineers stand at 2-1 in the Southern Confer­ ence with one league game still remaining on the schedule against Marshall at home this Sunday. "The advantage is playing at home," Rex said of the Apps' recent success. "Having so many games on the road against good teams hurt us as a young team early. We are a lot more confident at home and have a greater comfortness playing at home." The Mountaineers faced national powers Wake Forest, South Carolina, North Carolina and Davidson all on the road this season. Belmont Abbey, who entered Tuesday night's game with a 10-4-1 record, and High Point College, ASU's next opponent, are both top-notch squads in NAIA according to Rex.

ASU's lady golfers continue improvement Appalachian Staff Reports The Lady Mountaineer golf team continued improvement on individual and overall team scores last weekend at the Furman University Invitational in Greenville, S.C. Wesley Hobbs led Appalachian State, firing a team-best 83 on Sunday's final round. Hobbs finished with a three-round total of 258, the top score for ASU. Pam Barringer fired rounds of 87. 93 and 85 for a total of 265, and Leslee Gainey had rounds of 90,98 and 91 to finish with a 279. Despite the improvement in scores, the Lady Apps finished 15thoutof 15 teams. However, the Furman Invitational featured the "majority of the top team teams in the nation," according to Appa­ lachian Head Coach David Osmer. Duke, Florida, Florida Slate, Ohio State, Texas and Wake Forest were among the perennial national powers in­ cluded in the field. "It is really good to be able to have a chance to play with really good players," Osmer commented. 'Team-wise all of our players have improved. Overall our team needs to be more consistent. I noticed several moments and spells of great recov­ ery and good golf, but not enough consistency. Everyone's short game has improved, but some lack consistency controlling their ability." Kim O'Brient and Mary Lytton also improved their individual scores at the toumey where the course plays to a 74-rating over 18 holes. "I felt everyone played to the best of their ability against some really good players," Osmer said. "Wesley played well in spite of some big number holes and recovered very well. Pam had one tough round on Saturday and had to rely on her short game to keep her scores down. All of our players know what areas they need to work on, now it is just a matter of doing it." The Furman Invitational was the fourth tourna­ ment of the fall season for Appalachian State. The Lady Mountaineers will wrap up their season in two weeks in Edisto, SC in the College of Charles­ ton Invitational. According to Osmer, the College of Charleston is a team that Appalachian State can "challenge" and fare quite well against.

Meanwhile, former Lady Mountaineer Nina Foust is currently number 58 on the money list on the LPGA tour. lit �-The Appalachian. Thursday/.

With a 2-1 record and second-place, standing in the Southern Conference, ASU stands a good chance of faring well in the post-season tournament.

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

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

[,is a problem I foresee at AppalaWe are one of the last universities where that doesn't charge for all medis |ab tests and overnight stays," said William Derrick, directorof the Health ,1^ at Appalachian. tSU students pay $44 per semester for Ih services, which covers the costs of h medicines, lab tests. X-rays and C| physical therapy, pays the salary of the 21 staff members, and finances the Wellness Center and the Alcohol and Drug Aware­ ness programs. Derrick said. A proposed increase in student fees which will be formally presented to SGA at its meeting tonight would increase the health care fees to $51.50 per semester. The staff includes three doctors, nine nurses, three nursing assistants, two re­ ceptionists, one lab technologist, one phar­ macist, one X-ray technician and one housekeeper. However, changes could be on the ho­ rizon for students. Derrick said. He said it is possible that the infirmary could begin charging for medicines that are now free and decide to discontinue providing stu­ dents with on-campus health services. "1 can see advantages as well as disad­ vantages forthe pharmacy to become selfsupporting," Derrick said. He said medicine wouldnot be misused or wasted if students had to pay for the medicine and more money would be gen­ erated for health services. "However, there will be some students who will not be able to pay for the medi­ cation, and if we begin charging for medi­ cation, it will open the door to charging for other things. At other universities, when they began charging, they did not stop with medicines," Derrick said. Fans No w theinfirmary charges for the drugs Sipro, Zovirax, Tegamet and Proventil, which are some of the more expensive medicines. Derrick said the medicines are sold at cost. Students are also charged for birthcontrol pills and pap smears. If the infirmary began charging for medicine, Derrick said more nonhealth care workers would have to be hired to manage the business end of the services. "If we began hiring people to do non­ medical things, student fees would go up, and we would become less efficient," Derrick said. inarch Forty percent of 18 to 24-year-olds have automated teller cards i, AMANDA NELSON By SUZI LANDIS Appalachian Staff Writer A^wlachian News Editor See FANS page 2 The eases in private contributions to 1 the,i^ Nschian State University, especially " from alumni, coincide with a na- itiot ^trciK'asun'versiries across thecoun3 record breaking dona6 * !L at'0na")'' universities received an of $9.8 billion, with an esti5 billion coming from alumni. — •,ate contributions to the Appal asage, "foundation reached $3 million, the ount lever. during 1990-91.

Forty percent of all college age students have an ATM card—the highest of any group. "Teller machines have opened many doors," said First Union manager Marg­ aret Pierce.

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

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

Ginn said since drugs and alcohol have been directly linked to crimes committed in N.C., the prison systems should have more facilities for alcohol and drug abus­ ers. "It just doesn't make sense that in a prison systemof20,000 inmates, theTe are fewer than 250 beds for the treatment of alcohol and drug abuse. This is an urgent need," Ginn said. Another problem Ginn addressed is the influence of political action committees on legislators. He said that limiting contri­ butions from PACs and lobbyists and by prohibiting govemmentofficials from lob­ by ing decision-makers for two years after they leave office would help the legisla­ tive process. "What this campaign boils down to is a question of leadership and change. What has occurred in Raleigh for the past de­ cade has not worked—we have slipped.

One of the benefits of the increases has been the formation of an Alumni Corpo­ rate Committee. The committee is made up of Appalachian graduates that work for major corporations in North Carolina.

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

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

They are the product that these contributors are investing in. They believe in our students and faculty," Lawson said. For the last two years, the senior class has given a gift to Appalachian as they leave. Those gifts count in that total amount of contributions as alumni gifts. The ASU Foundation was able to cre­ ate 51 new endowments in 1990-91 and hopes to average 50 new endowments a year for the next five years. The founda­ tion is also looking to increase its total assets in the next five years from acurrent $15 million to $25 million. Currently, the foundation is in the planning phase for a major capital campaign.

Uni­ versity police notified the Boone police department so they were able to observe the students. "I'm glad our people were excited, but it seems their energy was channeled in a negative aspect. I wish they had been that excited over ASU's 26-23 win over Furman on Saturday," Laney said. All of the optional type plans offered by ASU, such as dental insurance and acci­ dental death insurance, are paid for en tirely by the employee, while the state shares some of the cost of retirement, medical or health insurance, and the dis­ ability plan with the employee. "Four or five years ago we compared ASU with other universities in the North Carolina system, and ASU offers asmany or more benefits than the other universi­ ties," said Nance. Nance said he was pleased with the turnout of the fair although only approxi­ mately 200 of the 1700 Appalachian fac ulty and staff were present at the fair. "I talked with vendors from companies who had attended fringe benefits fairs at other places, and they said the fair at ASU was more successful than others they had seen." t r e e s ! ! •1 A Public Service of the USDA Forest Service Bel and your State Forester.

This designated week of festivities is better known as Senior Week. This week will include various functions and discounts avail­ able on and off campus for Seniors to take advan­ tage of. Senior Week is organized by the activity com­ mittee which is a division of the senior committee. For the past three years, the activity committee has been in charge of making Senior Week and many other senior activities possible. Senior Week is a over four months. Many discountshave been made possible through cooperating businesses throughout Boone, which include Haircut 101, Boone Bagelry, AD-LIB, Word Works, Lily Of The Valley, Our Daily Bread, Varsity Men's Wear, The Sub Shoppe, Pizza Hut, Northwest Opticians, Mountaineer Mania, Pepper's, Did Someone Say Party?, Lon­ don Calling, Macadoo's, Makoto's, KlondikeCafe, Savannah Joe's and Rax. Seniors only have to present their senior gold card at the designated locations to receive these benefits. Throughout Senior Week there will be various events held for seniors. There will be Billiards i LCANDA . night at the student union on Sunday, Oct. 20 and the presentation of "Liquid Pleasure"atSollecito's by Kappa Alpha on Thursday Oct. 24. This week is intended to cater to all interests of the senior class. The most important gathering will take place on Tuesday at Sanford Mall. There will be a cook-out from 4 to 7 p.m. to bring all the seniors together at one time and also to vote on a senior class gift. Students will be able to enjoy the music of the Jazz Ensemble while munching on hot dogs and hamburgers that will be provided by the Appalachian Food Services. Throughout the week, seniors will be able to buy senior T-shirts, cups and buttons on campus. From Monday tlirough Friday, T-shirts will be sold from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the cafeteria. On Tuesday evening at the Sanford Mall cookout, T-shirts, buttons and cups will be sold from 4 to 7 p.m. Senior Week was first organized when the Se­ nior Committee was founded three years ago. Stephanie LineberTy, president of the Senior Com­ mittee, added that the committee works hard the entire year to help ensure "the seniors leave with a good feeling about Appalachian." Senior Week is just one project of many which is dedicated to achieving that goal. Now is die time for ASU to say good-bye to its seniors, and the Senior Committee is responsible for providing a warm and appreciative going away present <JU i a a H w n . , smMHn Art exhibits timeless theme F.SMITH I Appalachian Et Cetera Editor This past summer I had a conversation with a young lady that changed my views on the rtunities of the cultures of the American jLple. 1 was not alone in my previous thinking. ]have been taught that even though I am a female, I can do anything I want in life and still 1 have the moral support of my family. l e a n be anything that my talents will allow t0 do, short of being the pope, because "Daddy" is sending me to college.

Her social service officer dropped her off late on Sunday id came to pick her up early on Thursday. In between those days, she became increasingly obstinate. Even though the other girls tried to include her in activities, she refused to associate with anyone. Although she was 15 years old, she would silently sulk and sit in a corner and sicklier thumb. Finally, I knew that she just had to go home. Shewas miserable, and I had to accept defeat as icwiselor. I could have kept her there for my own satisfaction, however, it would have been unbearable for both of us. Two hours before she was to be picked up, the and I talked for the first time that week.

Ferguson is one of the four artists chosen to participate in the "Rendering Visible" exhibition. The exhibit is presented through this Fri., Oct. 25 at the Catherine J. Smith Gallery in Farthing Auditorium. Walking into the Catherine J. Smith Gallery at Farthing Auditorium, one would see abstract paint­ ings and photographs hanging onboth levels. These are part of the "Rendering Visible" experience that has been exhibited since Sept. 25. The exliibition will be available only until Oct. 25. There will be a reception on Oct. 23 from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. The artists will be present at the reception to answer any questions concerning the art. Paul Klee, Swiss Artist, inspired the curator of the event, Willard Pilchard, to name the exhibit "Rendering Visible." Klee said, "the contempo­ rary artist renders visible, not renders the visible." In simpler terms this means that all artists want to capture a moment in time, but then they also wish the meaning of their art to be timeless. Pilchard was the last intern Director of the Catherine J.Smith Gallery before Terry Suhre, the present director. After Pilchard discovered the theme, he then asked the artists that had complimenting works to participate. "In earlier art, there were Christian symbols such as the cross. We are now in a multi-cultural society, and artists have different symbols,"Suhre said. He also suggests not to "think too deeply" about the paintings. "If it is a real work of art, it will force itself on you. It will reveal aspects of itself. You must ask yourself, 'What effect did it have on me?' or 'Did I like it or not?"' Art exhibits such as these establish our cultural stance among other universities. In the cultural world, ASU may not be considered a highly cul-< tural spot. However, those that live here know how much Boone has to offer not only in art exhibitsbu( in other visual performances. There are four artists participating in the exhibit. Marjorie Hirando is from Silver Springs, Md. She has been a graphic designer, teacher, freelance artist and a printmaker in her art experience. "I; See ART page 4 International Week encourages abroad thinking By AMY SCHELIGA Appalachian Staff Writer The Office of International Studies ispresenting a week of activities from Oct. 21-27 that wijl enhance students' knowledge of the world and encourage them to take part in international and study abroad programs. The consistent effort to­ ward international interestson campus has resulted in the third annual International Week at Appala­ chian State University. Each year International Week, in association with Geography Week or United Nations Week, is held to encourage each area of studies to arrange more presentations and speakers on a variety of subjects. This week is a catalyst, or a motivator in increasing students' interest in foreign lang­ uage studies, studying abroad and interdisciplinary studies. One areaof International Week that Larry Horine, a director of the event, has highlighted is the International Career Fair. Horine stated this is the "first effort for the promotion of international careers in the history of Appalachian State University." The presentation is held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 22 and will include a lunch. The career fair will contain helpful information for anyone who is interested in an international career. There will be speakers from as far as California and Washington D.C. talking about both profit and non-profit sectors/There will be several programs available simultaneously, offering studentsachoice. The choices will range from the business areas to the non-profit area such as the Peace Corps. Other activitiesoffered during International week include speakers touching on subjects such as AfSee INTERNATIONAL page 4 Recycling Bin Recycling participation expands across nation By JOHANNA WEAVER Appalachian Staff Writer Everywhere you turn thesedays, you see bumper stickers, buttons orT-shirts with messages that say "Think Globally - Act Locally,""Recycle or Die," "Love Your Mother," etc. More and more people seem to be concerned about the environment and the future of our Earth. You may ask, "What can I do?" One of the simplest things everybody can do is recycle. The United States is running out of room for our trash. When a landfill canhold no more, people say build anew one. Where do the landfills go? People don't want it near their home, work or school. If we keep building new ones to solve the problem, one day the Earth will be a mass of trash. By recycling, the amount of trash that goes to the landfills will be reduced; therefore the current landfills will last longer. This way, new ones may not be needed as soon. Recycling also saves energy. It takes less energy to recycle than to produce an item from raw mate­ rials. Many of our sources for these raw materials are being depleted. Recycling an aluminum can saves about 90-95 percent of the energy used to produce a new aluminum can from ore. Depending on the quality of the paper, recycling paper saves 25-70 percent. A few years ago, only cans, newspapers and glass could be recycled. Today we can recycle just about everything. The majority of the things we use every day can be recycled. Recycling is included in the "3 Rs," which environmentalists refer to as reducing, re-using and recycling. Reduce the amount of trash that you throw away. Do not throw away unnecessary items. Re-use items as many times as possible, and if the container can not be recycled, use it to hold odds and ends. As students of ASU, we should be proud of our successful recycling program. It is so easy, espe­ cially if you live in a residence hall, because most halls have recycling facilities. There are recycling bins located in some academic buildings, also. However, there are problems with organizing recycling withineach residence hall. Leav ing boxes or cans or newspaper in the hallway is considered a fire hazard by the university. There are even students who go to each door collecting recyclable items, or those who donate tlieir rooms as 'recy­ cling sites.'

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

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

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

Paper products such as junk mail, white paper and colored paper, can be recycled in the Post Office. The Watauga County Landfill takes recyclable items in exchange for cash. The landfill is located on E US 421, one and a half miles outside of Boone. For more information and pricing call 26448 85. The landfill does not take pi astics or magazines.

Continued from page 3 SPIRIT WINGS GALLERY & GIFTS Recycling PLUS It's recommended that women consume 20 to 30 grams of fiber a day, men slightly more. "Most Americans only get lOgrams of fiber," Nieman said. One servingshould provide a minimum of one gram of fiber, she said. "Not all labels give this informa­ tion, but it's worthwhile to look for it." Americans still tend to be heavy handed with the salt shaker. Products with more than 300milligrams of sodium areconsid­ ered to be high in sodium. A person's daily sodium consumption should be no more than three grams according to the Ameri­ can Heart Association. Also be aware that companies may dis­ guise a product's contents by using differ­ ent names for an ingredient. Nieman says sugar can be called sugar, dextrose, su­ crose or fructose. Salt can appear as so­ dium or sodium chloride. • INCLUDING HALLOWEEN * Located on Blowing Rock Rd. between Tweetsie R.R. & Boone 262-3910 inqcentercanheto! John A.

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

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

The team was not disappointed with their game against Duke, despite coming upon the short end of a 2-0 score. Appalachian played on their home turf and had a pretty good turnout. The score remained 0-0 throughout the entire first half. Duke finally scored their two goals in the second half. The Lady Mountaineers were very happy with their score since they lost to Duke University last year with a score of 7-0. W — | | I I .I Link Elise Steuer commented about the game, "That was the best game we've played as a team all year. I think even Duke was really surprised." She also commented, "I thought that Duke was going to be a lot tougher than they were. Appalachian had the first pass-back and got the ball down the field quickly. AfteT that, the team had a confident atti­ tude and held Duke through therest of the first half. Steuer and Link Melissa Puckett were the key players in the game against Duke. Left-irmer Sara Hopkinson commented that both girls "played an outstanding game against Duke." Melissa Puckett summed up the entire team's attitude and performance when she said, "Going into the game I was afraid that we were going to lose like we did last year. After I saw that we could attack and our offense was going against their defense, the whole team gained confidence and we played extremely well." The game against Catawba was somewhat of a disappointment for Appalachian. At the very be­ ginning of the game, Appalachian had the ball in offense, but Catawba soon claimed the ball and scored a goal in the first 10 minutes of the game. Puckett commented after they scored, we just didn't play very well. The score remained 1-0 throughout the rest of the game. Hopkinson was more positive about the game than most of her teammates. She said about the game, "We played apretty good game. We had lots of shotson the goal, but we just couldn't get it in the cage." The next game is a rescheduled game against Wake Forest The last game is against High Point College. These games are the last twogames before the Deep SouthTournament, which will be held at Catawba College November 1 -3. Coach Cathy Burleson said about the Tourna­ ment, "If we're mentally prepared going into the tournament, then we could do well as a team." Coach Burleson is also anticipating a good per­ formance with the individual players as there will be a selection process at the tournament to deter­ mine who will go to play for the All-Star team, which includes the top players from Maryland to Georgia. The game against Wake Forest is rescheduled for Thursday, Oct. 24, at 4:30 pm. The game against High Point will be held Sunday, Oct. 27, at 1:00 pm. Both games will be played at home on the ASU baseball field. �The Appalachian. Tuesday. October 27 1091 Continued from page 5 Furman's 230 yards of total offense was its lowest output since 1983, when they managed just208 yardsagainst Westem Carolina in the I-AA semifinals. With about nine minutes to go in the fourth quarter and the score knotted at 17-17, the Paladins appeared poised to take the lead. On a second-and-five form the Paladin 30, quarterback Hugh Swill­ ing hit tailback Billy Whitley for a 54yard gain down to the Appalachian 16. But the Paladins were penalized for hold­ ing, nullifying the big gain. Furman could not recover and was forced to punt two plays later. Appalachian, which trailed 17-9 at halftime, clawed back into the game mid­ way through the third quarter, thanks to sophomore inside linebacker Brent David. Swilling completed a pass to Whitley at the Paladin 18-yard line. David defended the play perfectly, jarring the ball loose from Whitley and then recovering on the Furman 17. Abraham then scampered 12 yards to the Paladin 5 and two plays later scored on a 2-yard run. The Mountaineers decided to go for the two-point conversion, which they con­ verted when DJ. Campbell hit A1 Ellis in the right corner of the end zone, tying the game at 17 apiece. Furman burned the Mountaineer de­ fense just before halftime to grab a 17-9 intermission lead. Swilling, who completed just two of nine passes in the opening half, hooked up with split end Damon Bradley on a 57-yard pass play to the ASU 16. Five plays later, fullback Heath Brownstead plowed in from a yard out with only 31 seconds remaining in the first half. The Paladins cashed in one of three first half turnovers by the Mountaineers in the first half to grab a 10-9 lead just three minutes earlier. Campbell attempted to run the ball up the middle on a third down from the Ap­ palachian 31. Campbell was stripped of the pigskin, however, and Paladin comerback Andre Worrell recovered on the ASU 37. Whiltey picked up 30 yards rushing on the drive and Brownstead eventually punched the ball in from the 1-yard line. The Mountaineers had captured a 9-3 lead by driving 56 yards in seven plays early in the second quarter. Campbell capped off the drive by firing a 14-yard scoring strike to wide receiver Craig Styron. The Apps botched the extra point at­ tempt, however. Alexander mishandled the snap and threw a desperation heave which fell incomplete in the end zone. Both teams kicked field goals to even the score at 3-3 at the end of the first quarter. The Paladins got on the board first, less than four minutes into the contest. Defen­ sive end Venton Bell recovered a Chip Hooks' fumble on the ASU 23. After a William Peebles' sack moved the Pala dins back to the 33, Burr nailed a 50yarder to put the Paladins up 3-0. The Mountaineers got a 27-yard punt return ffom Anthony Smith to set up their first score.

Sandra Love came in for ASU and had 5 kills and no errors while Keen was a leading net player in the game. Appalachian State traveled to Charlotte Saturday night, dropping 15-5,15-11,1512 to the Lady 49ers of UNCC. "Our team played well and put forth a lot of effort, UNC Charlotte just had ev­ erything together better than we did," Twomey said. Junior Kim Nelson led the Lady Apps with 12 kills and a.310 hitting percentage, and senior Sabrina Hill provided eight kills for the squad. Love contributed two aces to help the Lady Mountaineers, but it simply was not enough as UNCC pulled out the victory. "UNCC played well.

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

Due to cuts, the library has been forced (a]ldown on their hours and on the material purchased.

Barker said, "Appalachian seems to be (alowperson on the totem pole as other sdtools are receiving more money." Barker cited examples, saying such schools as the Universities of North Caro­ lina! Charlotte and Wilmington are re­ ffl0Unt of ceiving huge funds for developing their libraries since their enrollment is increas­ ing rapidly. Barker stated that this year Belk Li­ brary had to eliminate $100,000 worth of titles due to lack of funds. Inflation is also a factor when addi­ tional materials need to be purchased or a subscription needs renewal. To buy the same number of titles as four years ago, it will cost us $200,000 more, Barker said. "We have to cut titles before we can add titles." Barker added that providing the 4,000 periodicals for students costs the library over $700,000 This revolves around the fact that books and periodicals are more expensive. Barker said there has been an eight to 10 percent inflation increase over the past couple of years. "We are trying to take into consideration the feelings and needs See BUDGET page 4 Nationwide, libraries make sacrifices (CPS)—College and university librar­ ies are the latest victims of the budgetcutting guillotine, and administrators are frantically looking for ways to trim ex­ penses without losing their heads. A shortage of money has resulted in cutbacks in hours, cancellations in journal subscriptions, delays in expensive book purchases and insome cases, fee increases. "It's a big problem," said Sarah Pritchard, associate executive director of the Association of Research Libraries. "It's a grave concern for the future of education and for the building up of schol­ arly research." Even though money is tight, most schools do not want to reduce the money they give their libraries, so they are allo­ cating the same amount of money as last nppaucnmn enoto By Nicole Quinn year. But the cost of library materials has FOR NOW, STUDENTS HIT THE BOOKS: However, budgetary problems have tripled since last year because of inflation, resulted in cuts in ASU library hours and some journal and magazine subscriptions. Pritchard said. So, administrators are facStudents don't have as many opportunities to study or as many options for research. • ing de facto reductions in their budgets and are now scrambling to findalternative sources of funding and innovative ways to avoid cutting off access to materials. Unlike other student services, however, most administrators firmly reject the idea of initiating a fee-for-service method of generating more revenue. "Fees are very controversial because libraries are based on the philosophy of providing unlimited access to informa­ tion," Pritchard said. "User fees for basic services and for primary users is so funda­ mentally against the concept we are based on." Still, somehavecontemplated and acted on fee proposals. At the University of Texas at Dallas, the student newspaper. The Mercury, reported that the Student Service Fee Committee made an unprec­ edented decision to use fee money to keep the library open longer than the hours funded by the state.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The band con­ sists of guitarist MikeConnell, bass player p.m. David Connell, lead vocalist Doug MacMillan, guitarist, vocalist and keyboardist George Huntley, and drum­ mer Peele Wimberly, formerly of Johnny Quest. The band originated in 1984 while brothers Mike and David Connell were attending University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After Mike finished law school and took the bar exam, the band began touring all over the country. In 1986 "Darker Days"was released,and the next year "Boylan Heights" was re­ corded. In 1989 "Fun and Games" began The Connells' popularity rise. The first single, "Something to Say," received some radio air play but not as much as the single "S tone Cold Yesterday"from "One S imple Word." In 1990 the most recent release "One Simple Word" was recorded with a different mixture of sounds that was not heard in the previous three releases. Other members participated in differ­ ent parts of the making of the "One Simple Word" LP. Lead vocalist Doug MacMillan wrote "Another Souvenir", and Mike Connell sings "Waiting My Turn." In the past, George and Mike have been the main composers of the group, but as their experience increases, so does the talent. Saturday night. The Connells will play from all of their releases opposed to last year's "One S imple Word"concert which focused mainly on the new LP. Their next album will be out in mid-1992. Those attending the concert on the 19th may even hear new releases. "Tending to Virginia" plot is set in North Carolina By LISA LAUGHLIN Appalachian Staff Writer 'Tending to Virginia"by Jill McCorkle has all the ingredients necessary to cap­ ture theessenceofasmall town home. As each character is introduced, the feeling of being at a family reunion pervades. The story is set in Saxapaw and opens with Virginia, pregnant and dissatisfied with her marriage. She recalls her former freedom-filled life at college. Burdened and depressed, she leaves her husband and tries to return home to her grand­ mother. She finds that home now exists within herself, and the new life she and Mark helped create. Cindy is like a sister to Virginia. She was daddy's girl to her mentally unstable father. Her frank and direct way of ad­ dressing her relatives and her self-seeking attitude toward life reminds everyone of someone they know. Eventually we ap­ plaud Cindy for coming to terms with past grievances and apparently making amends. Hannah, Virginia's mother, and her cousin Madge also held tight bonds with one another. Everything changes when Madge confesses to her aid in her husband's suicide. Hannah and Madge's aunt Lena is pres­ ently in a rest home. Lena refers to it as a type of school which makes sense only in her cluttered mind. She longs for her de­ ceased husband Roy, who left her alone in the world. Unable to have children, Lena thrives on the memory that she was on Broadway once. Although her dreams of being an actress never fade, she gave up her budding career to become Roy's wife. She lovedhim deeply and doesnot ever let anyone forget it. Lena's sister Emily is just as mixed up as she is. Emily lives in a duplex and boycotts the Piggly-Wiggly which now stands where her farmhouse once stood. In addition to hearing imaginary banjos on her porch, Emily also missses her husband James. She wishes for the past when she remembers James reading Brer Rabbit stories to her granddaughter Vir­ ginia, making it up as he went along. begging her to never tell his secret that he could not read. Throughout the book, Emily and Lena recall their sister-in-law Tessy and the hard life she endured. They explain to Tessy's daughter Madge that Tessy sim­ ply married too early, had too many chil­ dren and lived too long with a man she did not truly love. Madge regrets having been too distant from this woman she never knew and tries to leant all she can from her aunts. See TENDING page 6 �The Appalachian. Thursday.

Also, don't be fooled by the television ads that say this is in 3-D. Only the last part of the film is in 3-D and all it does is give you a big headache that you'll have to try and shake on the way home. Stop for some aspirin before the movie. The previous five movies had noted special effects man Wes Craven and di­ rector Renny Harlin doing some camera work. This was not the case in this film, and that may haveaccounted for the rather lame effects. Some new teen actors in the picture include Lisa Zane who plays Maggie, and Lezl ie Deaneportraying Tracy. These kids are predictably killed and I wouldn't look for them in too many other projects in the near future. The plot is sloppy, the acting is really bad and through most of the picture I just "as even made. had to ask myself • Then again, this is a college town and I suppose most kids in college get into death and destruction by a monster with razor blades for fingers.

How does it feel to be illiterate? PLUS Project Literacy U.S. Continued from page 5 These three generations of women are riot represented without men. Males do not play huge roles in "Tending to Vir­ ginia," yet they are strong characters who are the backbone of the women's lives. Because this book is mainly about women does not mean men cannot enjoy and leam from it also. For centuries books have been written by men, for men, and about men. McCorkle's book is a delight­ ful exception. The only disadvantage to this book is that it skips from past to present quite often. It gives the sense that you are in the mind of seven different people at once, who all take turns observing the present and remembering earlier days. "Tending to Virginia" is not the jour­ ney of one character but of an entire family who grows up, grows old, and grows closer than ever before. boone crisis pregnancy center You are invited to interview with representatives of WACHOVIA CORPORATION on: Thursday, November 7, 1991 The banks and other member companies of Wachovia provide a broad range of personal.

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

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

October 17.1991 S i: Ladies drop two Around the Southern Conference Marshall edges second-ranked Paladi^ From Staff Reports Furman dropped its first home confer­ ence game since 1987 and fell into second place in the Southern Conference with a 38-35 loss to the Marshall Thundering Herd last Saturday in Greenville, S.C. Dewey Klein nailed a 39-yard field goal with under a minute left in the game to spoil a splendid Paladin comeback and give Marshallits first victory at Furman in 13 tries. The loss also dropped Furman from the number-two ranking in Division I-AA to number nine, while vaulting the Herd to eighth in the nation.Marshall improved to 1-1 in Southern Conference play and 4-1 overall, while dropping the Paladins to 21 in the conference and 5-1 overall. Appitcnmn Knoto by Debbw Mc Mullen SETTING THE STAGE: ASU's Joanne Myers sets up a shot for teammate Deanna Keen (15) during the Mountaineers match with UNC Greensboro last Tuesday in Varsity Gym. The Lady Mountaineers dropped a tough four-game match to the Lady Spartans 15-12,17-16,11-15 and 15-11. Keen paced the Lady Apps with 18 kills, while Myers led the squad with 62 setting assists. Appala­ chian got back on the winning track last Thursday by defeating Winthrop College for the third time this season. The Lady Apps routed Winthrop in three games 15-11,15-8 and 15-4. Keen and Kim Nelson slammed 12 kills apiecefor the Lady Apps, while Myers registered 40 of the team's 41 setting assists. Last Saturday, the Lady Mountaineers played host to Southern Conference rival Marshall, falling in four games, 12-15, 15-5, 15-13 and 15-10. Keen smashed 23 kills in the Marshall contest, while Myers contributed 48 setting assists and nine digs. The Lady Apps return to action tomorrow when they travel to face conference foe Furman. The Thundering Herd was led by Michael Payton's four touchdown passes, the first two of which staked Marshall to a 14-0 lead four minutes into the game. The second score was set up by a Furman fumble at its own 7 yard line on the first Paladin possession of the game. After Marshall took a 21-7 lead, Furman quarterback Hugh Swilling started the comeback by leading his team down the field and tossing a 12-yard touchdown pass to Paul Siffri. Swilling, who was 14 of 23 passing for 192 yards andone interception on the day, ran four yards for a score and threw a 13yard pass for another touchdown to tie the score at 28-28 with over 12minutes left in the third quarter. After Payton threw his fourth touch­ down of the day and junior tailback OJ. Davis ran 26 yards for the Paladins fifth score, Payton drove the Herd 43 yards to put Klein in position for his game-wmning kick. . . , „ . Davis filled in for an injured Carl Tremble for Furman. Tremble was the third-leading rusher in the Southern Con­ ference prior to the Marshall game and was picked as the preseason Offen­ sive Player of the Year by the league's head coaches. Tremble is expected to play this Satucrday against Appalachian State. Kickoff coverage burned Furman all day. Marshall's Troy Brown returned a second-quarter kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown to put the Herd up 28-14 at halftime. Marshall started other scoring drives at their own 47,43 and 41-yard lines along p a l m THE APPALACHIAN t r e e s High Speed Copy Service • Full Color Process Printing DV8 Posters • Brochures • Flyers • Letterhead/Envelopes Resumes • Business Cards • Invitations • Forms Laminating • Binding • Numbering AND MUCH MORE!!!

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

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

Although we try to advertise both facilities, many students are not aware of what they offer," Parker said. The facilities offer an $18 per night fee, a $5 linen fee and prime locations in both cities, Parker said. Rates for guests of Appalachian students, staff and faculty are $25 per night. The Washington townhouse is located behind the Library of Congress Apex and is a few minutes from Capitol Hill. The Loft in New York is located in So ho and overlooks the Hudson River and the loft can house a maximum of 12 people. The townhouse can hold up to 18. "If you're in a finance course, instead of talking about Wall Street you can actu­ ally go there. If you're in art, you can go to the galleries; in music, you can go to concerts; in history, you can go to the center of western civilization, Washing­ ton D.C., and see our government in ac­ tion," Parker said. The New York loft is located on the third floor of a warehouse. Partitionssepa­ rate the kitchen area, bathrooms and bed­ rooms. Studentscan stay at the loft for any reason, from touring with aclass to Christ­ mas shopping with friends. The Appalachian house is a four story townhouse, typical of many in D.C.Again, visits do not have to be class related. Each'facility is managed by a different resident director each semester. In the past the resident directors have been members of Appalachian's faculty. Due to budget cuts, this year the directors will be retired faculty and alumni. Parker expressed hopes that next year there will be money to allow faculty to return. Parker saidone of the strongest usersof both the loft and the townhouse is sociol­ ogy professor, Dr. Larry Keeter. Each year, he takes a group of students to Wash­ ington in the fall and a group to New York in the spring.

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

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

Still, African-Americans said Mexican-Americans are the leading groupsfor steady increases in their scores. "Every time you see a standardized test result from a black student, the average score will be lower than toe majority's score," said Walter Jacobs, director of academic support services for the College Board, at a recenteducational conference to Orlando, Ffc. people say this Is just another example thai the black man can't cut to,..

New Minority Continued from page 1 gram which in turn has resulted in 85 ASU graduates working as city or county man­ agers. The MPA program was based on the Political Science Department's Town Administrator, City/County Manager pro- gram.This program was started because of the growing expectation that town and county managers hold graduate degrees. Many town managers in the High Coun­ try area were trained in the TACCM pro­ gram, and many of the finalists in the choosing of a new Boone manager were graduates of ASU. SAT Continued from page 1 cuius had the highest math average, 599, and the highest verbal average, 502." Cameron said theCollege Board is con­ cerned about an apparent paradox—"We are seeing more years of study in academ­ ics and in collegeprep courses and still the average scores are going down." Much of thedrop comes from the higher percentage of minorities taking the test— this year 28 percent of test-takers were minorities. Of that 28 percent, eight per­ cent reported that English was their sec­ ond language and another eight percent reported they were bilingual. "As more of our society is being in­ cluded in the test, the more likely you are to see scores decline," Cameron said. That greater inclusion and the SAT's inability to reflect different cultures in its test question content has helped spark the exam's rewrite. "There's always been some suspicion about the way the test questions are writ­ ten," Smith said. "The College Board now has established a review board for minor­ ity education that looks at items for bias against women and ethnic groups." That board has existed for many years and the content of questions has slowly Continued from page According to Willie FlemiT rector of African-American stfjA chian.

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

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

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

At thisyear's fair, there will be "mocktails"given out at the "Hard Mock Cafe" or the pub on Oct.16. During this week, alcohol safety will also be promoted by programs in residence halls. The Substance Abuse Education Center is dedi­ cated to helping you make intelligent, healthy and wise choices concerning alcohol and drugs. Alco­ hol Awareness Week is an important part of this process. The week will begin with a poster cam­ paign in all residence halls. This activity will continue throughout the week and possibly for the remainder of the academic year. On Oct. 15, a 'Talking About Alcohol" class will be offered to help reduce the risk of alcohol related problems stemming from peers or family members.

STOKES Appalachian Staff Writer The 11th annual North Carolina Honors Asso­ ciation was held Friday, Sept. 27 at Appalachian State University in the Broyhill Inn and Confer­ ence Center. The theme of the conference was called: "Mak­ ing the Transition: From High School to College Honors." However, the program was broken into six different seminars: 1) "Instruction for Excel­ lence in the NorthCarolina PublicSchool System," 2) "Making Freshmen Special: Helping New Hon­ ors S tudents Adjust to Campus," 3)"Special courses and Programs for Freshmen Honors Students at Two North Carolina Universities," 4) "Using the Myer-Briggs Type Indicators," 5) 'Tracking AP Students in Freshmen Honors English at East Caro­ lina University," 6) "A Model Honors Student Council at Western Carolina University." ASU's honors program is coordinatec by. Dr. Donald Saunders, a professor in the history depart­ ment. The program, started on our campus in 1980, is one of the first of its kind in the state. It is also considered to be one of the best, if not the best, by professors from other schools that attended the conference. The honors program gives qualified students certain privileges. Living arrangements are one of the privileges offered at ASU. Coffee Hall was remodeled in 1980 for ASU's honors students. It is a level above other residence halls in terms of scholarly atmosphere and space. Coffee also in­ cludes a computer lab and a unique basement lobby where classes are sometimes held to insure a more relaxed feeling for the students. "This program will help elevate ASU's reputation by attracting the 'cream of the crop,' " said Saunders. Carmen Scoggins, a sophomore majoring in Spanish education, is one out of nearly 350 people in the program. 'To be considered for the honors program at ASU, one must be in the top 10 percent of the incoming freshmen class and score a mini­ mum of 1100 on the SAT," Scoggins said. Each year ASU offers the privilege of being part of the honors program to about 200 incoming freshmen. Some, however, decline and go else­ where or decide they do not want to take the honors curriculum. The top 25 incoming freshmen are awarded Chancellor Scholarships. They automatically re­ ceive first priority to live in Coffee Residence Hall.

Representatives will be available to discuss ca­ reer oDDortunities in the fields of advertising, pub• J lie relations, broadcasting, printing/ publishing, writing/editing and marketing. This is the sixth year the Communications Ca­ reer Day will have been presented at ASU. There are other days set aside for specialists in other areas to visit and discuss jobs with students. For example, there will be a Government Affairs Day, an Education Career Day and an Internship Fair for summer jobs just to name a few of the opportunities that will be available during the year. The organizations will hand out printed infor­ mation, and some will also give out requested applications. Many of the representatives are ASU graduates who come back to offer advice and help to all students. "Anybody is welcome to the career days. The student doesn't have to be a communication major to come on the 18th. The atmosphere is not pres­ sured because there are no interviews involved, commented Dr. Linda Smith. Smith added, "The goal of the Communications Career Day is te talk to professionals and get firsthand information." The representativesgive advice tostudents about the courses that would be best to take, how to apply to these organizations and specific information. Some of the companies attending the Career Day are raaio and television stations: WSTP- WRDX, WKSK Radio. WDRV Radio. WCBYTV, WBRM Radio and WATA/WZJS; newspa­ pers: ASU News Bureau.

It appeared Appalachian would take their 3-0 lead into halftime when they forced Wake to punt with under one minute remaining in the half.

Ortnher ft IQQ] You're smart enough to write about Alice Walker 's use of African storytelling traditions. Around the Southern Conference Undefeated Paladins shoot down VMI i. Appalachian Staff Reports Furman quarterback Hugh Swilling shredded a VMI defense with five touch­ down passes to lead the Paladins to a 46-28 victory over the Keydets in Lexing­ ton, Va. The Paladins improved to 5-0 overall and 2-0 in the Southern Conference with the victory. The loss dropped VMI to 3-2 overall and 1-2 in the league. The Keydets held a 14-3 advantage in the first quarter, but Head Coach Jim Shuck gambled on a fourth and 1 from the VMI 27. The Keydets misfired on the play, and the momentum of the game shifted. Furman scored on six straight posses­ sions after the VMI miscue. Swilling con­ nected on TD tosses with Paul Siffri, Freddie Bums, Donald Lipscomband two to David Bradley. The Keydets pulled to within 36-22 at the end of the third quarter when Chris Meacham scored on a 1 -yard touchdown run. Andrew Burr then booted one of his three field goals, and Swilling fired a scoring strike to Bradley to close out the Paladin scoring. 260 yards set by Jeff Grantz in 1973 against Ohio University. ETSU committed five turnovers in the first half alone. The Gamecocks converted four of those miscues into touchdowns and stormed to a 34-0 halftime lead in the contest. Eric Brown paced the South Carolina defense with a pass interception and a fumble recovery. The Gamecocks added two more interceptions and also blocked a punt in the first half. The 55 points were the most by a Game­ cock squad since they scored 58 in a rout over Virginia in 1987. And you're still smoking? Crimson Tide rolls over Mocs The University of Tennessee at Chatta­ nooga, fresh off a 42-7 loss to Appala­ chian, traveled to Birmingham, Ala. and got waxed by Alabama 53-7. Siran Stacy led the Crimson Tide run­ ning attack with 109 yards and two scores. Freshman David Palmer added 169 total yards for Alabama. Comerback Mark McMillian also re­ turned an interception 98 yards for a touch­ down. Alabama raised its record to 4-1 with the win, while the Mocs dropped to 3-2 with the loss.

This Saturday, the Mountaineers travel to Johnson City, Tenn. for a Southern Conference clash with the Bucs. ETSU is coming off a 55-7 thrashing to South Carolina. The Appalachian State women's cross country squad captured first place last Saturday in a tri-meet with Wake Forest and Navy, while the men's squad fell short against Wake in a head-to-head race on the Deacon's home course. Women's Action Senior Leigh Wallace paced the Lady Mountaineers, finishing second overall, with a time of 17:58.54 on the5,000 meter course as the Lady Apps totaled 39 points to win the meet, followed by Wake (41) and Navy (46). "This was a big win for Appalachian. Both Navy and Wake are pretty reputable teams, although neither of them are cur­ rently ranked, Navy was fourth in the nation in the Division II bracket and Wake has had many top finishers in na­ tional meets in the past. We ran very well and I am pleased with our perfor­ mance," ASU Head Coach John Weaver said. Senior Dee Anna Davis finished sec­ ond for the Lady Apps and seventh overall followed by sophomore Nicole Disher placing eighth overall with times of 18:33.55 and 18:35.45 respectively. Rounding out the top five for Appala­ chian were senior Julie Anderson, clock­ ing 18:39.79 to finish in 10th placeoverall and sophomore Melanie Babb with a time of 18:47.23 good enough for 12th in the field of 37 competitors. Men's Action Sophomore Billy Pemberton clocked an impressive25:21.62on the 8,000 meter course to finish first overall, but that wasn't quite enough as the Wake squad upended ASU 28-29 to win the meet. "It was a good meet for us overall. Wake Forest has a very tough squad (cur­ rently ranked eighth in the nation), and although they sat out some of their better runners, they still ran a competitive field and challenged us," ASU Head Coach A1 Fereshetian said. Fereshetian was impressed with the efforts of Pernbei ton who turned in his second best ever performance on the course, "Billy had a very impressive run because he held himself back and we held him back as well until the three mile r Senior David Ess finished second for ASU and third overall at 25:48.37, a per­ sonal record by 33 seconds, and "an out­ standingly well performance," according to Fereshetian. Ess was followed by Brian Miesch, who finished fifth overall with a 26:03.96, a personal record by 41 sec­ onds. Rounding out the top five for the Moun­ taineers was Brian Watkins at 26:21.08, a personal record by 9 seconds, good enough for eighth place overall. Mike Bowers finished 12th and turned in a time of 26:42.02. "I was real pleased up front and I saw everything that I wanted to with the 1-3 runners. Several of our guys didn't run as well as they could have or would have liked to, but our grouping was better throughout the meet and maybe if we had turned Billy loose it may have opened up the gap some. We were a little weak in numbers and it was a good test for our squad, as it will help out in preparation for future meets," Fereshetian said.

ETSU is !-4 overall and enters this Saturday's contest winless in conference play at 0-2. The Mountaineers are led by a pass defense that ranks first in the Southern Conference and has held its last two oppo­ nents to 15 completions in 43 attempts for ascant 147 yards, no touchdowns and four interceptions. Senior free safety Gary Dandridge leads the Mountaineer second­ ary, averaging 7.6 tackles a game. Dandridge has intercepted one pass this season and broken up another. Comerback Mark Mayo and lineback­ ers Rico Mack and Brent David have ac­ counted for the other three Mountaineer interceptions this season, and comerback Steve Wilks knocked away three Wake Forest passes last week. All of that should make life tough for the Buccaneers this Saturday, whose lead­ ing rusher Derrick Hollins has gained a mere 289 yards in five games. The passhappy Bucs have attempted 165 passes this season, completing 77 while throwing 10 interceptions and six touchdowns. Seniors Mark Williams and Randy Meredith have platooned this season at quarterback for Buccaneer Head Coach Don Riley, who is 0-3 lifetime against Appalachian State. Sophomore Scott Dykes is ETSU's leading receiver, with 18 completions for 395 yards and two touchdowns on the year. Defensively, the Buccaneers are led by sophomore free safety Maurice Kelly. Kelly leads the Southern Conference in tackles with 71 and recorded 20 tackles against the Gamecocks. East Tennessee State's defense has struggled this season, however, and ranks last in the conference in scoring defense, giving up a whopping 32.5 points per game.

Two plays later, Campbell rolled out and lobbed a pass to tight end Jon Marx who had slipped be­ hind the Deacon coverage. Marx made a I backward leaping catch to put ASU up by a touchdown with close to seven |minutes remaining in the third quarter. "Theplay iscalled 'Tight End Dump,'" Marxexplained. "They wereplaying tight, so I ran the alternate route to the outside instead of going to the inside and D.J. did a great job. He threw a great pass to me." It was the first career score for Marx, a junior transfer from Lees-McRae Col­ lege. "That (the 70-yard drive) was the turn­ ing point of our game,"Moore said. "Be­ fore that, we just weren" t mov ing the ball consistently. Then our offensive line got into it, and that drive gave us confidence for the rest of the game."

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

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

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

On Tuesday, Oct. 8, Boone will hold its Town Council Election. There are six candidates seeking three vacancies. Those running are Saul Chase, Louise Miller, Diana Perry, Jimmy Smith, Bob Snead and Tim Wilson. The candidates were given the opportunity to entertain ques­ tions and share their views at Appalachian State's Student Senate meeting and the Watauga County League of Women Vot­ ers' "Meet the Candidates Forum" held on Tuesday night. Saul Chase served on the Boone Town Council from 1985 to 1989. During his terms, he said his main concentrations lay in the environment. At the SGA meeting.Chase stressed his contributions to Boone'srecycling efforts including the curbside recycling program. One thing he said he hopes to accomplish in the future is expanding the curbside recycling program to more apartment com­ plexes. He added that he would like to see students directly involved with the CableTV, and Minimal Housing commit­ tees and also the Thoroughfare Task force. Chase said he opposes expanding Hardin Street to five lanes because he feels it is unnecessary and is not in the best interest of Boone. Chase said he is an avid supporter of liquor by the drink, reasoning that it would generate revenue that could be effectively used in Boone. When asked how relations between Boone and ASU could be improved, he suggested that more communication and coordination between the organizations would improve matters. His campaign motto is "We Can Do It Together"—which not only applies to Boone and its residents, but also Boone and ASU. Louise Miller said she has had a great deal of experience Working with the To wn Council in years past, serving with the Planning Commission, Recycling Task Force (which helped implement curbside recycling), Zoning Board of Adjustments and Minimum Housing Appeals Board. She has been a teacher in WataugaCounty for 10 years. Miller said her interests lie in the plan­ ning and growth of Boone. She said she would like to revise the Comprehensive Plan and include students as representa­ tives. She said she believes that efficient planning for the future is imperative. If elected, she said she hopes to concen­ trate on transportation problems within Boone, such as congestion. Miller said she would like to see a bypass further to the south that would divert traffic rather than make it worse. She said liquor by the drink should be put to a referendum so the town itself can make the decision. Diana Perry, ASU graduate and a 17yearbusinessowner, isrunning for acouncil seal but was not present at SGA or the League of Women Voters meeting. Perry is a member of the board of ad­ justments, Boone Chamber of Tourism and Development Committee, the Execu­ tive Club, Boone Professional Women's Club, and the Boone and Blowing Rock Hotel/Motel Association. She is also the owner of Highland Hills Motel and Fun 'N' Wheels go carts. Perry does not see any issues in the election, saying that "I feel like the town is financially sound." As far as a liquor by the drink referen­ dum, Perry said she would vote against a referendum. "I think relations with ASU and the Boone community are on the upswing," Perry said.

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

The experience is t„ the interpretation of poetry, exhat you are able to see, hear and feel thing firsthand. Watching the move- ments and expressions of the dancers and listening to the mood of the music, one tries to piece together the exact theme or meaning. Of course, dance can always be appreciated simply for itsgrace and beauty of rhythmic motion. The Wall St. Dance Works ensemble presented seven modem dance pieces. On the surface the performance was excep­ tional. J. Moore Bannister, Julie Becton, Jan Dever, Melinda Halford, Constance Humphries and Connie Schrader are the six women who make up the company. Each of them exhibited his ability to cap­ tivate an audience with soothing grace, then to stir excitement throughout the auditorium in just a matter of seconds. With colorful costumes and music rang­ ing from J.S. Bach to Sly and the Family Stone, the evening proved to be a success. Looking deeper into each performance was as rewarding as watching from the surface. Every piece was an enactment of emotion and an outlet of expression. Be­ neath the flair and excitement and beyond the grace and beauty lay a message of some sort. In one particular piece, "Throughline," choreographer Schrader figurativelyasked the question, "What if you lived your life believing and depending on something and found in the end that there was noth­ ing?" The audience was left breathless on more than one occasion during the course of the evening.

Dead Again" gives more life to movie scene in Boone [KOMAN KIRKMAN ' pfehian Staff Writer [Alfred Hitchcock were alive today, mild frantically applaud the latest rtofactor/director Kenneth Branaugh. i, of course, is quite high praise, tockmay be the best ever at making pie jump, until now. le film Hitchcock would be so giddy lis "Dead Again," a romantic thriller rhich Branaugh plays two characters, his teal life wife, Emma Thompson, s another two. The movie sets you up in the beginning, then throws a winning punch-line in the final 30 minutes. It goes from black and whiteto color, quick paced to furious and great to spectacular. Branaugh portrays private detective M ike Church, a swinging single whomeets up with a disturbed young woman, Thomp­ son. At the request of a priest Church is indebted to, he takes the mystery girl in and befriends her. He gets much more than he bargained for from the moment she walks through his apartment door. It seems this woman can't speak a word and doesn't remember a thing about her­ self. All she does know is that she has repeating nightmares. Church comes to Margaret Strauss and Church was, you the rescue. He places an ad in the paper to guessed it, Roman! Now the question is, find her relatives. What he finds instead is will history repeat itself? Will Mike kill the mystery girl? Only time and a ticket to a salesman who dabbles in hypnosis. The hypnotist convinces Church he can the movie will tell. This ticket is well worth its price. While get to the bottom of the story and puts the young girl in a trance. Here's where it each character goes through twists and really gets good. The girl is dreaming turns, the entire audience rides a roller about two people who died over 40 years coaster along with them. The scenes in­ ago, Roman and Margaret Strauss. The volving Roman and Margaret are shown way they died is also a zinger. Roman in black and white, while present day killed Margaret and then was sent to the shots tum to color. This creates a great effect and really gets you into the picture. electric chair. Confused? It gets better. A stunning musical score also adds to The hypnotist convinces the young woman that in a previous life she was the excitement and flair of the film. Ev­ eryone in the theater jumps at the same time as a result of great music and of course, terrific acting and directing. The last 30 minutes of "Dead Again" are icing on thecake. This half-hour stands alone as some of the best film-making in quite some time. A riveting climax leaves the audience stunned and sitting through the credits in aneffort tocatch their breath. Kenneth Branaughalso directed"Henry the Fifth" and did a very good job with it. However, "Dead Again" has got to be considered a masterpiece. Some films live on and survive the test of time. These are few and far between. It takes a special picture to be consid­ ered trulygreat andI believe"Dead Again" deserves thisstatus. Its original and unique­ ness alonescores it an "A." In a time when the movie industry is seeing many sequels and big bucks-type films, it is great to see a picture with real substance that is also extremely entertaining. With Andy Garcia and Robin Williams playing strong supporting roles, this mov ie is a must see. It's exciting and mysterious. Alfred Hitchcock would certainly be proud to see it if he were still around. Then again, he might be a little jealous.

The performances will be held in the I.G. Greer Arena Theatre. "My personal plan was to leam to read first thing the first day (of school). After that, they could teach me anything they wanted to..." wrote Donald Davis, a pro­ fessional storyteller in his book "Listen­ ing for the Crack of Dawn." Department of Theatre and Dance fac­ ulty member Dr. Linda Welden has taken Davis' collection of stories and created a performance of literature piece under the same name, "Listening for the Crack of Dawn." Davis, a native of North Carolina, tells and writes first person stories about grow­ ing up in thesouthern Appalachian Moun­ tains during the 1950s and 1960s. The stories are about everyday life: family, relationships, going to school, dances and crazy neighbors. "My hope is that these stories are about events so ordinary that each reader has, even if living in a totally different world, 'been there'," Davis said. The stories Welden selected to include in the performance piece, five in all, cen­ ter on the narrator's relationship with a neighborhood girl, who appears through­ out the book. We see both characters, along with many others, at differentstages in their lives. Welden stated she would have liked to adapt them all. "The play would have lasted five weeks," Welden said. Deciding on these five stories was difficult, but Welden said, "The stories just sort of told me what to do." The cast is an ensemble, and each actor gets to take on a number of different characters. In each story, the narrator is played by two different actors, who repre­ sent the storyteller and his young self. The cast includes: Christina Anderson, Tim Barker, Jim Fussell, Jason Gilbert, Bill Griffin, Chet Longley, Marc McKinney, Matt McNaney, Craig Payst, Maria Smith, Sarah Thomas and Lisa Weber. Dr. Frank Mohler is the lighting and scenic designer for the show and Martha A. Marking is the costume designer. Carol Barlow is the stage manager. Tickets for the show are on sale now at the Theatre and Dance box office located in room 131 Chapell Wilson Hall. Reser­ vations are recommended due to limited seating. For reservations or more infor­ mation, call the box office at 262-3028. Other performances by the Department of Theatre and Dance this year include "Tartuffe" and "Playboy of the Western World." "Tartuffe" by Moliere, a 17ih century French comedy satirizing man's hypoc­ risy, exposes the antics of a con-man who cleverly poses as a holy man in order to swindle his benefactor out of his entire j estate. "Tartuffe" will come to campus in November. "Playboy of the Western World" was written by J.M. Synge. Synge's comic masterpiece satirizes hero worship, its effects and its fickleness. The poetic Irish language also contains the earthiness of the Irish peasants who act out the story. "Playboy of the Western World" will be presented in March. When music really mattered A.P.P.S. sponsors weekend festival dedicated to the sixties By WILLIAM PURCELL Appalachian Diversions Editor The decade of the '60s was one of the most interesting periods in American his­ tory. Through all of the good and bad times, it was the music that brought people together and sometimes tore people apart. The '60s were a period when the music really mattered. A.P.P.S. celebrates the sixties this week­ end with a '60s rock festival. All divisions of A.P.P.S., Stage Shows, Films, Special Events ana Club Shows will contribute to the festival.

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

In addition to the keyboards on Lhe new tracks, horns, drum machines and vocal effects are also added, all of which were not on "Appetite for Destruction." If you were expecting to hear the raw, in-your-face music Guns N Roses fans expect, you are sure to be disappointed with these two albums. "Use Your Illusion 1," features 16 tracks. "Right Next Door to Hell was written about Axl Rose s next door neigh­ bor who caused him quite a bit of trouble, including some time in jail. Dust N Bones" features rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin on vocals and has a Rolling Stones feel to it. "Live and Let Die is a cover of a song by Paul McCartney s old band, Wings. "Bad Obsession" is a song that sounds great live but is a little overpro­ duced on the album. "DoubleTalkin' Jive" is a tune characterized by a groove created by the rhythm section and some great vocal tracks. "November Rain" is a song I have been waiting four years to hear on an album, and it turned out beautifully. The song is just under nine minutes long, and while listening to the introduction.you won't believe it is Guns N' Roses. The song featuresbass guitar, electric guitar, drums, piano, a keyboard orchestra, a synthesizer program and a cast of eight background vocalists. One would not expect all of this from this band, but the song is a highlight of the album. "The Garden" features Alice Cooper and Rose on vocals. The part Cooper sings is definitely fit for his voice. The lyrics describe a fantasy land of sin, and the music fits with an eerie lone on gui­ tars. "Garden of Eden" has some sound effects atypical of Guns N' Roses . Sound effects are something I never expected to hear on their album along with the synthe­ sized sound effects. Another song advocates free speech. This is an effort more along the lines of Guns N' Roses musically and lyrically. "Bad Apples"is a high strung, jumpy tune followed by a song that is depressing. HPilB—MBCTIIIUMI ..UU -)> ,tk.olAI "Dead Horse" is a pitiful effort lyrically. The song is negative, and just appears to be a moaning cry on life when you don't get your way. One of the best efforts on the album is a 10-minute masterpiece by Slash on lead guitar . The song has no chorus, yet you are still into the whole song from beginning to end . It's loo bad the band couldn't produce more works like "Coma." "U se Your Illusion 2"conlains 12 tracks minus the two previously released songs. Some of the few highlights of the second album arc "Yesterdays," "Locomotive," "So Fine" and "Estranged." "Yester­ days" is a good rock'n'roll effort that features some acoustic and electric guiwm juMMMBjgwf —mm— tars wi thgreat lyrics." Locomoiiv e" would be a great song if there weren't so many vocal over-dubs. There are parts of the song in which Rose's voice is in three different tones singing simulta­ neously. "So Fine" was written by Duff McKagan, the group's bassist, and is dedi­ cated to the late Johnny Thunders. The lengthy ballad is something these two albums definitely do not lack. "Estranged" is just under 10 minutes. S lash andStradlin combine for some beau­ tiful guitar work on this track. This is another effort that lacks a true chorus. See GUNS page 4 �i The Appalachian. Thursday. Ortnher3. 1991 Continued from page 3 fairly familiar with the story of Daisy Werthan and her chauffeur, Hoke Colebum. Barbara Humphrey Barker played a convincing Miss Daisy, an elderly Jewish woman with a strong will and a mind of her own. Barker's experience in the the­ ater was evident throughout her perfor­ mance. Her speech, expression and physical motions were clear, natural and simply fun to watch. Daisy Werthan cap­ tured the audience with her occasional sarcasm and her frequent bluntness of character. Michael Oberfield played Boolie Werthan, Daisy's son. Caught between wanting to care for his mother and her will to survive on her own, Boolie was in quite a predicament. Just like Daisy, he pos­ sessed a strong will and took care of things his way: he hired a chauffeur. His por­ trayal of Boolie was a balanced display of impatience, affection, exasperation and a business-like nature all in one. Curtis C. won the approval of the audi­ ence as Hoke Colebum, the chauffeur. Despite Daisy's initial contempt for his position, Hoke was as quick to smile as he was to tell a friendly story. Curtis C. gave an exceptional performance. His accent and stage presence were simply delight­ ful. All in all, the production was a great success. From the cozy sitting room of the Werthan House, to Boolie's office and the car that started it all, the story unfolded at a comfortable pace. In the end, the cast received a standing ovation, which each of them deserved. The Performing Arts Series will offer many more opportunities to experience quality entertainment. For instance, Oct. 8, the Triad Piano Trio will be giving a concert in Rosen Concert Hall, located in the Broyhill Music Center. The group features pianist Rebecca O'Conner who received her doctoral de­ gree in piano at Indiana University. She has been given various honors for her talent and was one of the founding members of theCanterbury Chamber Play­ ers, allowing O'Conner to perform throughout England as well as the United States. Judith Cox is featured on violin. She received her music degree from Indiana University as well and has participated in several music festivals.

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

On game day, several mem­ bers of Sigma Nu will run the ball into Groves Stadium and present it to the game officials prior to kickoff at 6 p.m. "All of the brothers really come to­ gether whenever we run the ball to Wake . Fo/e^t. Whenever I talked to the people, from the American Cancer Society and' learned about all of the types of cancer and the research being done daily to find treat­ ments, I really got going. It is amazing what they are doing for the fight against cancer and we hope to help them with the money we raise in any way possible," project chairman Sam Greene said. For the third consecutive year, Gover­ nor James Martin has proclaimed the day of the run as "Sigma Nu Game Ball Day" in North Carolina. Governor Martin has commended the brothers of Sigma Nu for their fight against cancer. This year's goal is to raise S7000 for the American Cancer Society, a goal that Greene believes is within the fraternity's Ircach. "We have already collected S4000 and that puts us only S1000 from raising more than last year's run (which raised S5000). We have contributions in from 30 percent of the brothers, and we still have several of our corporate sponsorships to collect. I am very confident that we will meet our goal," Greene said. Every year around February, Sigma Nu begins planning the Game Ball Run. After determining a goal for the year, the project chairman figures out the amount of money each brother must raise to meet the goal. Through corporate sponsorships and other miscellaneous donations, Sigma Nu is able to raise adesignated amountof money for the Cancer Society, who in turrr pro­ vides t-shirts for all competitors. The tradition was established in 1985 when the Sigma Nu National Headquar­ ters was looking for a local service project for the Kappa Epsilon chapter at AS U.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Leutze, chancellor of University of North Carolina at Wilmington, will discuss political and economic changes in Eastern Europe Oct. 7 at Appalachian State University. The speech begins at 3 p.m. in room 1020of the College of Business building. Students, faculty and members of the community are invited to attend. Leutze's speech is sponsored by the State Treasurer's Equity Advisory Com mittee, which advises the state treasurer on investments. Leutze created, produces and hosts the international affairs "Globe Watch' series that has aired on public television for eight years. Students expelled because of belie 1 (CPS)—Three students who were kicked out of a Baptist-affiliated univer­ sity because of their religious beliefs may seek legal action against the school for its actions, which have kindled a theological dispute between the Rev. JerTy Falwell and the United Pentecostal Church. Seniors Chuck Groom, 32, of New York, Guy Redmer, 21, of New Jersey, and Mohammed Yacobi of Morocco, were expelled Sept. 20 from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va., after an appeals re­ view board upheld the recommendations of the school's deans and Falwell, who serves as college chancellor. The students, their attorney and a pas­ tor say they were kicked out for worship­ ing at the off-campus United Pentecostal Church. School officials say the students' refusal to obey the rules was the real reason why they were asked to leave, although they admit the students were asked to sign a form stating that they would not attend United Pentecostal church services. "They were not dismissed because of their beliefs but rather their refusal to stop proselytizing other students,"said Vemon Brewer, vice president for student devel­ opment. t Alexander Technique offered Oct. 8-Nov. 26: Workshops on the Alexander Technique will begin Oct. 8 and Nov. 5 at Appalachian State University. The 10week sessions, held on Tuesdays from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in room 213 of Broyhill Music Center, are sponsored by the Appalachian School of Music and the office of Conferences and Institutions. Jane Comfort Brown, a registered move­ ment therapist, will conduct the sessions. The Alexander Technique allows students to grow in awareness of mind, body and spirit, and makes them more aware of habitual behaviors that cause physical and emotional distress. The technique has been used by performing arts students to release muscular tension and heighten awareness of the body. It can be applied to walking, dancing, acting, singing, exercising and running. Costs are $ 100 per person for each session. For more information or registration call the Office of Conferences and Institutions at 262-3045. Meet The Candidates forum to be held Oct. 1: The Watauga County League of Women Voters will sponsor a Meet The Candidates forum on Tuesday, Oct. 1. This forum will allow voters an opportunity to hear the town council candidates and question them on their visions for Boone in the 1990s. The session will feature candidates for town council: Saul Chase, Louise Miller, Diana Perry, Jimmy Smith, Bob Sneed and Tim Wilson. The format will open with remarks by the candidates, followed by questions from the local media: Jerry Richardson of The Mountain Times, Sandy Wall of The Watauga Democrat and April Marshall of WATA. This will be followed by questions from the audience and then an informal coffee hour. The moderator for the evening will be Ron Hester. Audience members are encouraged to bring questions to the meeting. The informal time following the meeting will allow for viewpoints on specific issues of interest. The meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the Boone Town Council Chambers at 635 Blowing Rock Rd. in Boone. The meeting will be covered live by 1450 WATA and High Countfy Cablevision(chatinel 6). Brewer said the students were "pretty brazen in their approach" to other stu­ dents and that in their first hearing, one of the men told Brewer he would go to hell for his actions against the students. The students, however, say they were simply adhering to their religious beliefs. "They make it sound like we were stand­ ing upon tables in the cafeteria and preach­ ing," said Groom, a biblical counseling studenL "That's not the case at all. If someone asks me my religious beliefs, I think I have the right to share them." Two of the students—Groom and Yacobi—attended Liberty on full schol­ arships. Yacobi, who was unavailable for comment, is an international student who came to the United States to study at Liberty, his friends said. They are unsure if he plans to return home. Groom said much of his alleged pros­ elytizing came about because he is a reli­ gious counselor. Douglas Klinedinst, pastor of the United Pentecostal Church where the three wor­ ship, said the students were really dismissed because of the incompati­ bility of the United Pentecostal Church's doctrine to Liberty's. Liberty was founded as a Baptist col­ lege but has since touted itself as a private liberal arts school that adheres to a B aptist doctrinal position. The proselytizing accusations "that are coming out now are just to justify (Liberty's) religious differences, Klinedinst said. "Dr. Falwell has publicly denounced the United PentecostalChurch for being cultish and heretical. Klinedinst said the United Pentecostal Church is different from other Pentecos­ tal churches. United Pentecostal worship­ ers do not believe in the Trinity but rather believe that there is one God who has manifested himself in three roles. The church also baptizes people only in the name of Jesus, not in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, and worshipers believe that speaking in tongues is essential to the salvation of the soul. Falwell told students and faculty about two weeks ago that the United Pentecostal doctrine was not compatible with Liberty's, and they were not permitted to attend services at the United Pentecostal church. In a prepared statement about the stu­ dents' dismissal, Falwell reiterated his earlier stance: "We have a solt tion to parents and pastors to their sons and daughters are mainline, evangelical instruct! they do not become victims heretical influence," he wrote X f Falwell also stated that m« dismissal hinged on the stud compliance with a university*^* :— -<—i—* requires students who want nently worshipoutside of Libe sity churches to have written w? from the school. ^ At the hearings.

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

ASU's persistence rate is behind North Carolina State University and the Univer­ sity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "Capable students that are capable of attaining a degree come to Appalachian," Ward said. "U.S. News and World Report" is con­ tinually adding or deleting categories to its survey to more adequately measure a university's rankings. "They are trying to refine their rating system," Ward said. "We honestly think that we're good and that the more accurate they are, the better we'll do."

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

The self defense classes are being taught weekly at the Quinn Center. Four students are taking time out of their schedule to teach free lessons to help insure safety on campus. Getting older and real izing the surrounding dan­ gers make it necessary for one to learn the art of self defense. Two students are helping to promote safety at Appalachian State University. Neil Brittain and Alen GarTett both have black belts and are willing to train fellow students to protect themselves. Brittain, a black belt in the arts of Kumo-GakUre-Ryu-Nimpo, and Garrett, a black belt in the arts of Tang-Soo-Do and Kei-Shin-Kau, started teaching a self defense/sexual assault class in the Quinn Center Sept. 30. "I want to share my knowledge,"Brittain said."I feel security on this campus is not adequate for women to feel safe. There are a lot of scared women on this campus, and no one is doing any­ thing about it." "I want to teach this self defense/sexual assault learn." GarTett and Brittain will be teaching the classes with their girl friends as demonstrators. Sabrena Lynn and Tersa Byrd are both sophomores at ASU. Byrd has some prior self defense train­ ing. Lynn has been taught several techniques by Garrett. Lynn demonstrated a few of the throws she learned from Garrett, by tossing Brittain over her shoulder. Lynn is 5'1" and Brittain is a lanky six footer. "Anything a guy can do, a women can do just as well," is Byrd' s motto. "Why should she depend on someone else to defend her?" Byrd feels at night it is not safe anywhere on campus. "I never go out after dark," Lynn stated flatly. "I live in a co-ed dorm, and I even feel threatened in an elevator alone with a guy I don't know. I'll get out on a floor other than my own, just so someone won't be able to follow me to my room. Lynn feels the areas behind Belk Library and behind all the dorms are especially unsafe. because...I want everyone, especially women, to know how to protect themselves," GarTett said.

Appalachian's Women'sStudies Program shows this is everyone's world. By focusing on exactly where women are, have beenand will be in society, the program hopes to shed light on how relevant the female gender is. Women's Studies is conducted by Dr. Melissa Barth, who is enthusiastic about its growth. The program, which has been a part of Appalachian since 1976, is within the Department of Interdisci­ plinary Studies in the College of Arts and Sciences, it had been a minor until it became a major last year, and is expanding as more people discover it. "People think it (Women's Studies) is only for women, but we do have men taking the classes," Barth said. Although many of the classes have a higher percentage of female students in them, others are more evenly divided between the sexes. "Sex and Gender Roles" is a particularly popular class and attracts both men and women. Regardless of gender, a major or minor in Women's Studies can be beneficial to almost any type of occupation. The program gives its students a strong basis for anything "people related" as well as offers a new approach to issues. This could be helpful to a future counselor, journalist, teacher or any other type of job that involves an understand­ ing of women. Women's Studies offers a resource center to anyone interested in information written by and about women. The collection includes books, films, audio tapes and other types of media that might help with a research paper or for just general knowledge. The resource center can be found on the ground floor of East Residence Hall. Special activities are sponsored by Women's Studies throughout the year. They are designed to inform and involve students and faculty members about the various aspects of women. "Sandwich Seminars," which are held monthly, are a major part of the activities program. The seminars are held in I.G. Greer and congregate students and faculty for speci al presentations. Some of the past meetings have included dramatic read­ ings, presentations of class work and lectures dealing with how women are presented in litera­ ture. Another activity that Women's Studies spon­ sors is the annual essay contest. Three cash prizes are awarded, and all students may enter essays dealing with women. March is Women's History Month and a busy time for the Women's Studies program. During this month, musicians, speakers and films will be used to celebrate the history of women. The main goal of the Women's Studies program is to direct attention toward the female perspective, instead of focusing exclusively on men. It is for people who want a more diverse understanding of society and are looking for a new approach to women's experiences.

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

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

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

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

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

Hooks, who gained his first career start against James Madison last week, has now rushed for 433 yards in the last three games and carried ASU not only in rush­ ing against UTC but in receiving as well, catching a game-high four passes for 82 yards. Forced to punt throughout the game (a total of 6 times for 295 yards), UTCquickly put the ball back in the hands of the Apps on their next possession. Campbell capitalized on the second play of the following Mountaineer drive, pass­ ing to wide receiver Anthony Smith for a 25-yard gain to the UTC 32. Hooks went on to carry the ball to the UTC 22 before Campbell rifled a 22-yard pass on a post pattern to Smith for the touchdown. 'Millson's kick raised the Appalachian 'lead to 28-0 with 5:20 left to play in the third quarter. out on the field. This week, I think we prepared well and the mental edge was there." Offensively, Campbell completed 9 of 16 attempts for 168 yards. "Our goal was to control the ball and make a commitment to running." Campbell said. "The offensive line re­ sponded well; we put it all on their shoul­ ders." Guard Kitt Hill said the offensive line performed to its utmost potential. "This is probably the best execution we "I expected to get a little bit of playing have had in the last two years," Hill ex­ time here or there," Hooks said. "I started plained. "We were told on Monday that out at the third or fourth siring (at the Chip or whoever would have the ball beginning of the season) and I was glad to maybe 35 to 40 times and to get ready to even have made the team.

We have a lot of respect for Appalachian, and we ve taken a big hurtle for the conference champion­ ship by beating Appalachian State. Andy Zorovich played a "particularly good match" for Furman, but Tart com­ mented that it is "hard to stand out in a match like this." "We played hard and gave it a good, hard shot; things just didn't work out basically. We'll go on to Asheville and start from there,"said goalie Earl Morgan. "We playedgood. I think we can be better. And we will be. We're a young team." "We played well, butwe came up short," Rex said.'The effort was one (that)Appa­ lachian should be proud of. As long as we keep on playing, we'll win some games. It's just a matter of time." The Mountaineers return to action to­ morrow, when they travel to face the UNCAsheville Bulldogs. Appalachian's next SC match will be this Saturday, when the Apps play at The Citadel in Charleston, ' way with 11 kills and a .411 hitting per­ centage while Rachael Wade had 14 digs. McGee feltgood about this match which seemed to spark their victory in the Charleston Southern match. Defeating Charleston in three games 15-13,15-10and 15-9 wasno problem for the ASU squad, according to McGee, who saw many positive things going on in the match. "We ran a really good offense and a lot of our plays were well executed, but our serving was definitely what stuck out," McGee explained.

"Aiken came from behind to crush our lead and then go on to win the invita­ tional." According to McGee, Aiken made no offensive mistakes and played a tough defense whichcontributed to their tourna­ ment success. Hill had 14 kills followed by Nelson with eight.

Tie co-curricular transcript is part of the Student Development Record, By TRACY TARLETON Appalachian Commentary Editor Cherry Boone O'Neill, daughter of '50s popular singer Pat Boone, wrote a book called "Starving For Attention" in which she described her personal battle with one of the most prevalent diseases among high school and college students this century. O'Neill, who stands 5'7", weighed 88 pounds when she began therapy. Her obsession with food became so great that she resorted atone point to eating leftover pork chops from a dog's dish. Her battle with anorexia nervosa began at age 17 and lasted 10 years. She is grateful to have survived her ordeal and been able to write two books on it. Karen Carpenter, of the famous '70s singing duo The Carpenters, was not so lucky. In 1983 she died in her parents' home of heart failure due to an electrolyte imbal­ ance—a complication of anorexia nervosa. Statistic^ show that one out of every 20 college-aged women suffer from some type of eating disorder. Anorexia nervosa, a common type, is characterized by a loss of over 20 percent of one's body weight, a refusal to eat much, if any and overstrenuous exercise. Cherry Boone O'Neill, for example, was doing four hours of calisthenics a day at one point. Anorexics often love to prepare food and will make elaborate meals for their families and friends but jch is in its first year of existence. The record serves as official university pgnition for any student development activity. Hiis record providesa unique opportunity to Appalachian students. Thanks record, ASU students will have documented proof of their co-curricular olvement. This transcript can be used to supplement the academic tranip when interviewing for jobs or applying to graduate school, n the past, interviewers have had no way of verifying a student's involveiii Now verification is available as Appalachian students will have written lords of their involvement.

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

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

Hopefully it will be soon be a safer street," Tugman said. A speeding ticket from university po­ lice on a public road or highway passing through campus will be treated the same as if a Boone policeman had given the ticket. It will be a state ticket and the process will be handled through state court. Tugman said university police do not have all the equipment they need yet to give speeding tickets and when the equip­ ment does arrive the officers will have to be trained to use it properly. "We feel this change is a positive step for this department and for this univer­ sity," Tugman said. "In the long nrn, we will be able to provide a more profes­ sional police department as well as better service to the university." Tugman said the university has had the power to make this change for several years. In 1987 the General Assembly of North Carolina amended a general statute that allows the Board of Trustees of any institution of the University of North Caro­ lina to form a campus law enforcement agency with campus police officers. According to Tugman, the change is state funded. He added the officers won't see asalary increase because of this change. appmmcntfi hooio oy Jennifer Morris SPEEDERS BEWARE: Former ASU security has been renamed and now has powers like that of the Boone Police Department, including the right to ticket speeders. Here University police officer Harvey Webber discusses parking regulations with Jennifer Williamson. grants could provide more money for ASU students cation Act of 1965, the blueprint for all federal aid programs. According to Patsy Braxton, director of financial aid at Appalachian, the changes will be signifi­ cant. "We anticipate that there will be major changes in both the delivery system and in the funds available. However, right now we are no t in a position to sayex actly what the changes are,"said Braxton, who is one of six members of the National Commit­ tee of Financial Aid Programs Response Network. One area of concern surrounding the amendment focuses on the equity of loans and grants.Currently, there ismore money available for student loans than is avail­ able for grants, causing what Braxton said is an on-going battle between the two programs. "We will soon see a difference in who can become eligible for loan programs. There is a surge to provide more fund­ ing for middle-income families,"Braxton said. Assisting middle-class students is a necessary change because quite often it is these students who are neglected by the system, Braxton said. Right now there are some financial aid programs available for average income families, butif the system continues in the same way it is currently going, Braxton said a system could be created where only the very richest and the very poorest students can afford to attend college. While all of these proposed amend­ ments seem favorable, Braxton stressed that it is important to remember that they are only proposals. To provide more edu­ cational funding, the government will have to be convinced more money is needed. "It is going to be an incredibly tough battle, and you need to call your congress­ men," said Selena Dong, legislative di­ rector of the United States Student Asso ciation. The House Postsecondary Education subcommittee, which led the reauthor­ ization effort, has held more than 45 hearings during the past two years. The subcommittee has finished its hearings and is expected to begin marking up the bill early this fall. Mark-up is the crucial phase for all bills. The congressional representatives re­ view the bill section by section, propos­ ing new rules to replace ones they do not agree with. Dong said this mark-up process gives students a chance to fight for proposals they favor, such as switching financial aid emphasis from loans to grants. "A lot of people say, 'What difference does it make to call your congressman?' But a lot of changes have to be made and congressmen do read their mail," Dong said. The bottom line, according to Braxton, is how to get the most money to the most students. Considering that 68 percent of all Appalachian students receive some form of financial assistance, these amend­ ments should hit pretty close to home, she said. ASU plans exchange with Soviets Iron curtain falls; cultural exchange between two nations begins ASU News Bureau With the exchange of signatures and gifts, Appalachian State University en­ tered a faculty-student exchange Sept. 17 with North Ossetian State University in the Soviet Union. Rector Akhourbek Magometov made his.first trip to the United States to sign the documents establishing the exchange, the first between his university and a univer­ sity in the United States. NOSU is a four-year comprehensive university with an enrollment of approxi­ mately 8,000 students. The university has 24 departments and a medical school. It's located in Vladikavkadz, North Ossctia, a mountainous town similar to Boone. Speaking through an interpreter. Rec­ tor Magometov said he had been impressed with the kindness and openness shown to him during his visit to the area. "I am glad the times are gone and we no longer think of each other as the enemy," Magometov said. He jokingly recalled the day s when Soviet citizens weretold Ameri­ cans had their own personal nuclear bombs. "When I was visiting Chancellor (John) Thomas, I was eager to find out what a personal nuclear bomb was. In­ stead I found the kind heartsof the people." "The firm foundation on which the ex­ change rests is mutual trust and respect," Thomas said. "It's timely to enter this agreement. Faculty and students will have the opportunity to live through and wit­ ness historic and positive changes in (the Soviet Union)." NOSU is interested in exchanges with Appalachian's business faculty and with faculty who will teach English as asecond language. But, according to Magometov, the exchange is important not only for academic purposes. 'The most important thing involved in this exchange is not academics or culture, but the human ex­ change," Magometov said. The exchange will send faculty to each institution to teach, conduct research and offer consultation services. Students will be able to take courses in non-degree programs. The connection between NOSU and Appalachian was made in 1989 when a professor from Appalachian visited the lators discuss food services and appoint a new judiciary board hiRrv„r^a^P0'nte<'to Hxe Judicial 4, gJVe bberly, director of food HiG0 9 P^Hktion at the Sept. ernment Associationmeet- Triplet and Whitney Hunter, two SGA members who were killed in a car acci­ dent this past summer. Triplet was to be treasurer of SGA and Hunter was to be off-campus affairs chairman. Following these presentations, Dubberly made a p<eser.tation in which he explained the present situation of food services and the reasoning behind the varied hours at different food facili­ ties. Speaking first about the newly opened Trivette Hall, he said the idea for an eating facility in the Stadium Heights area of campus was introduced about 15 years ago, but it was not taken seriously until 1985. It was then when university adminis­ trators predicted there would be a rise in student enrollment over the next decade, and a food facility in that area would be needed. The plans were made and the Park Place Cafe and Pizzeria opened this year. Since a year and a half ago, when stu­ dents could only use their meal cards at four locations around campus, four new card usage facilities have opened, allowing students eight choices for on-campus dining. Dubberly continued, stating, that since there is now more of a variety, some facilities have had to close during certain meal hours. One reason behind these closings is that the cafeteria is feed­ ing 20 percent less students for breakfast than it did a few years ago. This same trend also is true in the cafeteria's lunch and dinner hours. The food court, con­ versely, is going up in numbers of stu­ dents served. One reason for the drop in service is believed to have come from the fact stu­ dents are spread over a greater area now with the four new card usage facilities opening. Each facility was judged during its meal hours and slow hours were deter­ mined at each. Dubberly said when hour cutbacks came, they closed facilities at those hours first. Consequently, the caf­ eteria being closed at dinner is an example of this. Plans have been made, however, to begin serving cafeteria-type dinners at comparable prices at the Food Court and at Park Place Cafe to give students a greater choice. Dubberly concluded his presentation with the statement that the university is "providing choices, but not all choices during their slow periods of time." The final order of business at the meeting was the appointment of students to the Judicial Board. A senior appoint­ ment went to Jenni Parker, the junior appointments went to Jason Bonar and Susan Lee, the sophomore appointments to Galen Brinn and Christopher Dodd and the freshman positions to Samantha Hackett, Mark Love and William Robinson.

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

While many are contemplating the fate of counseling services, health administra­ tors are scrambling to come up with their own methods of earning money. Dr. William Broyles, administrator of the Student Health Center at Mississippi State University, recently shared his school's success at the American College Health Association's annual meeting. Broyles said Mississippi State is allow­ ing private doctors to practice at the student health center. The center then charges the physician an overhead cost for using the facilities. Also, the student health center is providing low-cost health care, such as physicals for non-students, and is reduc­ ing the cost of X-rays and other tests by having them performed at outside labora­ tories. Peters adds, "What major institutions have to do is use the inner structure (of health care centers) to include health care for employees, faculty, staff and others to gain revenue." By adding these non-stu­ dent patients to the list, university health centers can receive increased insurance money for payment of services. "Because we are self-supported, we have had to generate our own revenue," Broyles said. "It's strictly market-driven. The more patients, the more money."

It's all because of a U.S. District court's ruling against Kinko's Graphics Corp., which owns about 300copy shops nation­ wide, most of them near campuses. Judge Constance Baker-Motley ruled that the chain's popular "professor publishing" program broke copyright laws. Under the program, professors could create special texts for their classes bv I* _* 1_" 11. . picking andchoosing excerpts from books, newspaper and magazine articles and other materials, and then have Kmko's repro­ duce and bind them together for the professor's students. Kinko's had argued that its photocopy­ ing constituted "fair use" under federal copyright laws because it was educational in nature, but the judge rejected that claim. The ruling applies not just to Kinko's but to any other copy shop that produces course packets. It means they all must get publishers' permissionfor everything they photocopy, adding "time and cost to the educational process," said Adriana Foss, of College Stores (NACS).

The drums are cut off niiious lengths with the shorter drums •Kg a higher pitch and the long ones a elt:pitch. They are burned over a fire, with acid and hand tuned by denting the head until the proper pitch is found. It often takes up to 30 hours of hard labor to make one drum. Meister is in his 18th year at ASU. Meister teaches percussion, electronic music and composition, writes music and arranges music. After earning his masters in performance from the University of Miami as well as his masters in composi­ tion, Meister moved to Appalachian to begin teaching. Meister also holds his doctorate in music composition. Meister likes to have a festive environ­ ment for the concerts, where the audience can be close to the band rather than seated at a distance. This setting is also helpful when Meister speaks briefly to the crowd to inform them of the music that will be played. The steel band often plays for public schools. The band sends music to public schools before they play so the children can sing along during the concerts. "When we play for 2,000 people, and they all start shouting it gets to where we can't hear ourselves playing anymore," said Meister. The band played for 100,000 people at the Springfest in Charlotte.This year they are planning to give various artist lectures along with their yearly service project, the Boone Christmas Parade. Steely Pan performs Friday, Sept. 27 at 6:30 p.m. to kick off family weekend. The performance will be held in the grassy area between Broyhill Music Center and Walker Hall.

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

"Driving Miss Daisy" will be presented by Mainstage M anagement and brought to campus through the Office of 'Cultural Affairs. Set in Atlanta, the play is a touching and funny story of the friendship that develops between an elderly and wealthy southern Jewish lady and her black chauffer. Since the very first opening of the play numerous awards have beer, won for the original actors, Dana Ivery (The Color Purple) and Morgan Freeman (Lean On THE ACADEMY AWARD,THE PULITZER PRIZE AND THE HEARTS OF AUDIENCES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

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

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

Eddie Van Halen said,"If you left tunes such as"Runaround,""Poundcake" Andy and us alone, I would write and and "Judgement Day." Eddie Van Halen write and we would never be done.

Freshman tailback Chip Hooks, a bud­ ding ASU and Southern Conference star, will be another key to the Mountaineers' ho pies Saturday. Hooks is averaging 7.1 yards pier carry, the tliird-best number in the conference. Against JMU, Hooks caught seven passes for 69 yards and rushed 17 times for 84 yards. Hooks has started just one of ASU's four games, but is already listed as the SC's seventh-most prolific runner this year. Muhammed Shamsid-Deen, UTC's second-leading rusher, attended McNair High School with Hooks in Decatur, Ga. Heading into the contest, Appa­ lachian has his­ tory on their side. TheMountaineers have won five of the last six meet­ ings with the Moc­ casins. In addi­ tion, Moore has never lost to UTC in two meetings. Moore also enters the contest with a suprerb two-year Southern Confer­ ence record of 124. The Mountain­ eers have won five of their last six confer­ ence games dating back through last sea­ son. "It sure has been a long time since we have won in Boone and the reason for that is that Appalachian State always has a well prepared, talented and physical foot­ ball team," Nix said. "I don't see that changing. They are a very good football team and this game will not be for the faint-hearted. It is going to take a great effort on our part to go up there and be competitive."

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

Brevard placed third with 89 promts, and the Appalachian men's team rounded out the topfour out of eight teams with 101 promts. "We have a lot of work to do, but I felt like Saturday's meet was a success," Fereshetian said. Eleven of his runners improved their all-time record Saturday, which Fereshetian sees as a good basis for im­ provement. Breakinganew sophomoreclassrecord and establishing himself as the number two all-time ASU runner, Billy Pemberton finished second in the meet with a time of 25:01, just five seconds away from the school record. "I think he will break it(the school record) this year,"Fereshetian said. Senior Steve Simandle placed 19th in the meet, followed by senior David Ess who finished 23rd, while Brian Watkins placed 28th out of the 83 qualifying run­ ners. Fereshetian got a pleasant surprise out of freshman Mark Noble who im­ proved his time by 32 seconds to place 29th in the meet. Fereshetian still feels the seniors are canying the team, but the underclassmen will improve as the season progresses. The men's team is also traveling to Wake Forest for the meet on Oct.5. Fereshetian sayshis team knows thecourse well and hopes for a Mountaineer victory Although ASU has struggled, Terry has been a definite bright spot. South Carolina Head Coach Mark Berson com­ mented, "David Terry is an excellent player and could play anywhere in the country." The Mountaineers who stand at 1 -0 in the conference have their second league game Sunday against Furman in Kidd Brewer Stadium. But if the Mountaineers are to win, according to Rex, they must raise their intensity level up another notch. Ladies drop three ady runners win; ien finish fourth ®-LY ROPER Mountaineers. ASU's four losses have all been on the road and against nationally ranked teams. They have dropped deci­ sion to Wake Forest and South Carolina and went head-to-head with North Caro­ lina last night. Rex hopes thesegames will help the Mountaineers when Southern Conference play kicks off. ASU's weaknesses have been exproscd, but Rex feels this may be a blessing in disguise. "We are learning from these games, and hopefully we can work on our weak­ nesses," Rex said. Appaltchwn Photo by Jennifer Morrie RUNNING TO VICTORY: ASU runners Leigh Wallace (left) and Nicole Disher (right) run during the Lady Mountaineers' home meet last Saturday. The Lady Mountaineer field hockey squad picked up their first goals of the season but fell short in three matches this past weekend at the Lynchburg Tourna­ ment. Appalachian State opened the tourna­ ment at the mercy of Hartwick (N.Y.) dropping the match by a 5-0 score. "We kind of started out asleep and didn't click well as a team," ASU Head Coach Cathy Burlesonsaid after the match. Traditionally strong Hartwick featured quickness and a large, strong squad which the Lady Apps were simply unable to handle. ASU found themselves exhausted, as they were without halfback/sweeper Melinda Neagle due to illness, and there­ fore, were left with only one sub to use when starting players became fatigued. Despite the loss, Burleson felt that the Lady Apps concentrated on developing their passing game in this particular match. "We have a tendency to play a 'bang game' where we just hit and run, but in this match we tried to stay short passing and develop a new style of hockey," Burleson said. Soprhomore sweeper Tammy Everhart led the Appalachian defense with three saves which impressed Burleson."Tammy played really well; she is developing her skills well as a sweep»er," Burleson said. The Lady Mountaineers went on to challenge Lynchburg later in the day but were once again unsuccessful in capital­ izing on any shot oprprortunities and dropped 5-0. "We still didn't mold as a team. We just didn't look like a normal field hockey team. Everyone put forth 100%, but w» just didn't click," Burleson said. Junior forward Elise Steuer had two defensive saves for the Lady Apps, and Everhart also offered depth for the Appa­ lachian defense. Sunday, the Lady Apps met Wooster (Ohio) and captured their first goals of the season, but fell short 3-2. "We started playing as a team," Burleson said. ASU held Wooster 16 minutes without any score, which impressed Burl -son. "We raised up to their (Wooster's) level and it was good to maintain a solid competi­ tion," she said. Wooster led the Lady Aprps 2-0 at the half before the Appalachian offense got fired up and capitalized on their first goal of the season. Junior forward Shannon Smith carried the ball and lifted it to score for ASU. Minutes later. Smith as­ sisted sophomore forward Lisa Fromm for a second Lady Mountaineer goal. The ASU squad was unable to hold off Wooster, however, who scored in the fi­ nal minutes to bring the match to a 3-2 final. Despite the loss, Burleson felt that the Lady Mountaineers prut forth their great­ est effort thus far into the season. "Every­ one played exceptionally and with five more minhtes we probably could have scored again," Burleson said. The effort was particularly impressive due to the fact that the ASU squad was withoutNeagle and defensive powerhouse Melissa Puckett, who was injured in Saturday's Lynchburg match. Other strong performances for the LadyMountaineers came from Sara Hopkinson who moved around to link and played exceptionally and goalkeeper Mattie Jean Hunt who is developing as a goalie and "bounced back strong after two losses," Burleson said. The Lady Aprps will travel to High Point on Saturday to challenge the Lady Panthers and V irginiaTech as they will be looking to pick up two wins, a "very realistic goal," according to Burleson. �( ^ The Appalachian Thursday Spptemher ~>(i JOOJ Big Apple Road Race is a huge success Appalachian Staff Reports _ ~ ~ The nmth annual Big Apple Road Race was held last Saturday, with more than * 450 runners talung pan m the event.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

But, yet again 1 was wrong. People are people, and it was silly for me to try to force my opinions upon them before we were able to get acquainted. My roommate had his tastes in music, and I had mine. Unfortunately, they were not the same. A few minor skirmishes arose from that fact, but that is not the point that I am aiming for. What I want to say is that in college, everyone has his or her own choices about what is and is not groovy, and somewhere there is a guy holding a big fat check he got from coming up with the idea of labelling the music I like as "college music." Labels. That's another topic in and of itself. When somebody asks what type of music you like, what do you say? Some people give a category like rap, country, indi»trial, or pop. But I think those categories serve a$ limitations in more ways than one. They set up bounds aries that constrict one to that style, and that one exclu­ sively, without allowing for any sort of diversity or variety. Such titles draw lines which say, "I like the music m ade by thepeople in this sphere and any other kind is no) as good as the music I enjoy." I know when people are discussing musical tastes, all of this covert meaning is not intended, but at the same time, they are implied nonethe, less. I guess most people out there like abit of everything! I knew I was not alone when I said I like anything that has a palpable rhythm. So I guess we all like a bit of every^ thing. When somebody asks you what type of music you like, be aware of the implications that are going on around you. I personally feel that all types of sound created have the potential to be considered communication. And i guess that what I am trying to say, yet again is: Think fo* #rurself. '• only way into Boone is by car; and the roads are a far cry from major -ghfares. It takes an effort to get here, so once you are here, settle in and Fijoy the area and the beautiful scenery it offers. Most importantly, ^ tourists to do the same. 200 U. sounds when my roommate came in. I rgspect him, but he obviously didn't appreciate my most recent choice. I turned it down and eventually off, but the seeds of random thought had been planted. When I was a freshjnan in high school, my two favorite groups were Metallica and The Cure. Whatever that means, 1 don't know, but during that year of my life, I discovered a revolutionarysound which has opened bot'i my eyes and ears: college radio. When I was 15, that term really meant something. It meant this was the kind of music the older kids were into. It meant bands like The Dead Milkmen, Sonic Youth and Black Flag would stand up for what rock and roll repre­ sented and never sell out. But like I said before, when I was 15, the mystic phrase "college radio" actually had a meaning. The closer I got to graduation, the clearer the facts about college radio became. While still in high school, I spent some time on the campuses of UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke University.Those experiences showed me that the popular types of music still existed and were in reasonably good health, but at the same time, I learned that college radio may actually be the musical godsend I had hoped for. I guess if I had looked around me, the facts would have been apparent. The people to whom I had looked up weren't listening to the iSex Pistols, The Doors, Pink Floyd or even The Grateful Dead. I was a bit dismayed, but not much because I had amassed a decent sized tape collection which a sampling of most music categories. I know I can be idealistic at times, and my first semester was probably the highest point of idealism in my life. I was sure that when I came to college, most I am a second-year senior biology major. Presently I'm doing an indepen­ dent study that requires a great deal of field work and about three times as much lab work. A couple of weeks ago I was in Rankin Science Building doing some lab work which had to be done that night because the water samples I was testing would not give accurate measurements if stored overnight. By the time I finished doing the tests it was 4:30 a.m. Then it was time to walk back to East (Residence Hall). I had a can of mace, but still did not feel comfortable walking back to the dorm. I used a courtesy phone in Rankin to call security to get the number for Appala­ chian Escort Service. Much to my dismay, no one answered the phone after several rings and more than one try. I called security again and had a nice, long talk with the woman at security. She explained how foot patrol went off duty at 1 a.m., and her supervisor would not allow "security" officers to escort anyone unless it was a medical emergency. Then she told me that all the officers on duty were trafficking the campus — or something to that effect. She apologized for not being able to help me even though she would have liked to. We hung up and I called my boyfriend to come get me, but he did not hear the phone ring. Since no one could help me, I went back to lab, put some chairs together, and went to sleep — as well as you can sleep on wooden chairs with a .luorescent light in your face. 1 twisted and turned until 6:30 a.m. when I woke up freezing. I couldn't go back to "sleep," and every joint in my body was stiff. I figured at that time of day, i.e. close to daybreak, I'd have a better chance of getting back to my room safely. So 1 put on my bookbag, grabbed my can of mace and started walking back to the dorm so 1 could take a shbwer before my eight o'clock class — which consequently. 1 missed. I hope you can understand my point — I was in a bad situation, tried to get out of it, couldn't, and therefore, suffered the conse­ quences. In the Sept. 12 issues of "The Appalachian," Roy Tugman, director of public safety and security, made a comment about a girl that had had an assault attempted against her the previous Santrday at 3 a.m. He said, "I'm not saying it's all the girl's fault, but maybe the incident could have been avoided if she had been walking with a friend." As a result, Tugman said security would be beefed up in all areas on campus. Mr. Tugman, maybe she did not have a choice, as I did not, therefore, making none of the situation her fault. I also wonder why something like this has to happen before security will be "beefed up." The reason I stayed in lab that night was because of Mr. Tugman's lack of direction in making the campus safe enough for me to feel secure, even with a can of mace, to walk from Rankin to East. How busy were all the officers at 4:30 a.m. that not one of them could take five minutes to escort me home? And, why was campus escort service not in service? I've spent enough time at this school that by now I should feel comfortable, but I don't. If someone could tell me why this is so, I'd appreciate it. Joanne Konstantopoulos ASU Box 11790 Band clarifies past discrepancies To the Editor: When our band's (The Scene) gig that was scheduled for Aug. 22 at the Klondike Cafe was cancelled, 1 decided to remain silent concerning this issue and just let things die down. But after reading thei: (The Klondike Cafe) letter in the Sept. 10 issue of "The Appala­ chian," my mind has been changed. Certain problems raised in this letter are a little one-sided and need further clarification. The author states that for the last six months the Klondike has received numerous letters explaining the illegality of, and the safety hazards posed by, placing flyers on utility poles. They claim that their "plea" for other bands to stop this have been ignored. Our band has been playing in the town of Boone for over two years now, and we have never been informed of this problem by the Klondike or any other club. This also holds true for our socalled "X-rated" flyers as well. The Klondike said they asked us not to put these flyers up, but the fact of the matter is, we were never told such a thing. It was only after the Klondike received letters from the university, New River Light & Power and numerous phone calls from offended citizens, that our band is accused of ignoring their pleas not to put up these flyers. It has never been our intention to cause problems for the Klondike, although Iheir letter would seem to suggest otherwise. To me it appears that the Klondike is trying to present itself as an establishment that doesn't support this kind of advertisement, and therefore justify its good standing within the town of Boone. I have no complaint about this. What bothers me is that in the process of redeeming themselves to the community they shine a very disagree­ able light upon our Band. The explanation you give for the cancellation of our gig, that our flyers represented a "safety hazard" and needed to be removed from the utility poles, I find totally absurd. The real reason is that the picture on the flyers offended quite a few people. Many other bands that have played this club have put flyers on utility poles that violated New River Light & Power's "standard" for safety, but their shows were not cancelled. Try as they might to avoid it, the conclusion drawn from all See LETTERS page 10 �1IL The Appalachian. Tuesday. Sentemhrr 24 1QQ1 V Letters Continued from page 9 tof this is apparent: Our music and our band have become a victim to censor­ ship. I'm not accusfrig the Klondike of Censorship for it is obvious where the tensorship is coming from, those that jvield financial power in the town of Boone. The Klondike just happened to f>e caught in the middle of these £nhappy events and so acted in the best interest of their business. We respect that decision and desire no ill feeling between our band and the Klondike, (.ike I stated above, my only complaint is the negative way in which their letter presented our band. This was both unnecessary and unfair. , The problem the Klondike seems to ljave with the "hearsay" that Mr. Williams relied on for his articles in the Aug. 29 issue of "The Appalachian" is partly their own fault. I personally told the owner of the Klondike that a story about this situation would be written in The Appalachian. He expressed concern that this might make his business look bad, so I suggested he give the paper a call to tell his side of the story and set the record straight. It would seem that the call was never made. As for New River Light & Power's claim that these flyers represent a safety hazard, I would be interested to see a list of all the workers that have been injured on the job due to these flyers. Also included should be the nature and extent of the injuries and the medical attention that was received. This would alleviate some of my (and other's) skepticism regarding your claim. Since we live "in a town where not many people have the same tastes as you do," and Our posters were viewed as "obscene" and "tasteless," I'd like to leave the thoughts of someone who seems to possess a little more insight and intelligence regarding the nature of these moral judgments: "What a time experiences as evil is usually an untimely echo of what was formally experienced as good—The atavism of a more ancient ideal." — F. Nietzsche, "Beyond Good and Evil." See you at the next gig. Chip Cooper (The Scene) SE "TIPSY TAXI" SERVICE. [DON'T DRIVE DRUNK. owwwwi CONGRATULATIONS! fflfflODiO1?

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

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

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

Kickoff is set for 1:30 p.m. * Apptfchltn Photo by Mcolo Outnn APPS OPEN SC SLATE: Appalachian State's soccer team dropped their first two non-conference games of the season before opening their Southern Conference slate with a 4-1 victory over VMI last Friday at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Appalachian State's soccer team opened their conference schedule last Friday against VMI in Kidd Brewer Stadium and rolled to a 4-1 victory. The win moved ASU's overall record to 1-2 on the young season and 1-0 in the Southern Confer­ ence. The team had a positive attitude going into the game. Rudi Schmoll, Appalachian forward, re­ marked, "Expectations were high because it was the home opener and our first conference game." In addition to the excitement of it being their fust Conference game, the Mountaineers also had the memory of their skillful playing against Wake Forest last week. Appalachian started the game with a slight de­ fensive lapse in the first five minutes of the game which led to VMI's only goal.Team captain David Terry scored the first goal for Appalachian, draw­ ing the team even at 1-1. Alex Herring and Brian Cone also scored for the Mountaineers in the first half to give ASU a 3-1 lead at intermission. Schmoll scored in the last 10 minutes of the game to ice the contest for Appala­ chian. "We took our time and were patient with the ball and with our attack," Schmoll said. Terry also commented that "They (VMI) domi­ nated the game for 15 to 20 minutes. Then we started playing like we knew we could." In spite of the score, ASU had a hard time against VMI. "That game was rough!" commented team member Bobby Martin."They tried to take us out of the game by playing rough." One Keydet starter was slapped with a red card for his overly rough plays. The game against Vanderbilt last Sunday was not as successful for the Mountaineers, however. "We looked disappointing," commented Schmoll. Vanderbilt scored within the first five minutes of the game to take a 1-0 lead.Terry scored to knot the game at 1-1. The Mountaineers remained even with Vanderbilt until the last half when Vanderbilt scored again, leaving the score 2-1. Appalachian fell to 1-3 with the loss. Schmoll feels confident about the upcoming conference game against Furman. "Our chances (of winning) are good. Furman hasn't played any strong teams yet like we have," he com­ mented. With a one-week lapse between the Vanderbilt game and the upcoming game against the Univer­ sity of South Carolina, Schmoll also believes that the team will be "looking to train really hard" this week to prepare for the nationally ranked Game­ cocks. With upcoming games against two teams ranked in the top 20 nationally, Martin comments, "We have a better chance of winning a lot more games in the month of October."The next game will be at South Carolina on Sunday, Sept. 22 at 2 p.m. The Apps will then travel to the University of North Carolina on Sept. 25. Schmoll sums up the team's overall progress up to the game against Vanderbilt by commenting, "We're better than our record shows. We're a young team and we're working things out" �3- The Appalachian. Thursday. Srntrmh*r 19 1091 Lady Apps begin golf season By WILL ROTHSCHILD Assistant Sports Editor Appalachian State opened its 1991 fall women'sgolfcampaign Sept. 14-15 at the -^ongwood Invitational in Faimville, Va. ASU placed fifth out of five teams over the two day weekend tournament. Appalachian HeadCoach David Osmer, despite the disappointing season-opening showing, remains optimistic concerning a number of things about his team. First on the list is the presence of lone senior Pam Barringer. Barringer finished • with the top ASU score last weekend and * will be counted on to shoulder the leaderShip burden this season. f' "Pam is my only senior and I'm count' ing on her for a lot of the leadership," Osmer said. "She is important to the team because she is is expected to be the leader this year." • Osmer also pointed to the return of number-three seed Amy Mauser as a plus. - Mauser was forced to miss the Long wood Invitational due to a strained tendon in her left arm, a serious injury foraright-handed golfer. Mauser, one of three sophomores on the team expected to play crucial roles this season, is expected to be ready for the James Madison Invitational Sept. 28-29. - Barringer shot 81 and 90 to finish with 171 for the tournament. Wesley Anne Hobbs was next for ASU, shooting 88 and 92 for a 180 total. LesleeGainey fired a 97 and 96 for a 193, and Mary Lytton shot 98 and 99 for a 197. "Pam played well the first day, but had a poor round the second day. The players know they have to practice and they know (hey have to improve,"Osmer said. "But, they can play better than they did last weekend and they will play better than that. I think things will fall into place, and they will have a good year." That good year could start at the James Madison Invitational. According to Osmer, "That golf course is fairly wide open and it is hard to get in trouble." The tournament will be held in Staunton, Va. While there is no conference tourna­ ment for ASU to look ahead to this year, Osmer explained that by as early as next season that could all change. "Hopefully s 5ave the rainforests... a n d h e t next year we should have a conference tournament," Osmer said."At the present time, Furman and our program are the only two who have Southern Conference teams. Some other schools are adding teams and so next year there could be a tournament for the players to shoot for. Right now their major target is the goals they have for themselves. Individually, they are forced to measure themselves against the goals they have set" p a l m t r e e s ! ! EE A LIFEGUARD WITNESS WEAR 101.

"Idiot box" takes over America news item as it is mentioned, rather than merely mention­ ing it and moving on. Speaking of news programs. Has anyone else ever noticed how each network news program has its own musical theme? The purpose of the music is for entertain­ ment. Do we watch the news to be entertained or in­ formed? There is certainly nothing entertaining about some of the issues and events in the news today. Also, due to lack of adequate time and the need for commercial allotments, a news program may report on ,'SPOR? some outrageously horrible story, then the viewer's focus will suddenly be switched to Burger King chicken sand­ wiches. Neil Postman elaborates on this point in his book, "Amusing Ourselves to Death." "Seven thousand people By TRACY TARLETON were killed in an earthquake today.

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

She is majoring in French education. * Citizens need to rethink idea of "pride" By CSABA BARAD Appalachian Staff Writer The Aug. 28 issueof "Watauga Demo­ crat" published a report on Gen. William C. Westmoreland's presentation. On Sept. 5 Lt. Gen. Thomas Kelly presented a lecture which in many re­ spects was rather similar to that of Westmoreland's. The reason is very simple: both lectures pursued much the same goals. Kelly's lecture heralded the pride of America that has just been re­ gained. Our speaker based the American success on three points: theexcellent lead­ ership that elaborated feasible plans, the soldiers who carried out what they had been told, and finally, the diplomacy that operated before and after the war. Perhaps, the last one out of the three "legs" bore the brunt: members of diplo­ macy paved the way lor tanks with the bricks of law and justice. When there seemed no other solutions were left. Presi­ dent George Bush ordered warfare started against Iraq. Before, during and since theend of war, many political scientists have questioned whether the American government had done everything to avoid this war. In the afternoon panel program, Jesse Taylor pointed out tc the significance of the first move—"If the United States had not moved first, Saddam Hussein might have moved first. Could he not become a threat to the entire world? Can a country with one-twentieth the population of the United States be a serious threat to the world? Maybe not, but I do not know." So, once America was forced into the war, it was to fight like a lion, as it did. Kelly was speaking about justified war. Although Saddam Hussein killed many Kuwaiti citizens, and sent further thou­ sands of his own people into death, does not the whole war look like a quarrel between an elephant and a mouse? Plus the United States enjoyed the support of a bunch of further states! What is more, people have never seen war televised so accurately and up-to-date. People, at least the men that are interested in politics, were looking forward to finishing their daily work, running home and getting the "hot news." People were excited and anxious about the war. Their way of life was up-ended for a while. I think every­ body who knew something about the con­ fronting forces expected American victory. So far two superpowers have led the world. Now, as the Soviet Union is gradually falling apart, America remains alone. Hence, "America is No. 1!" But this is too trivial a truism to keep saying so harshly, so loudly, and especially so often. Isn't it? The socialist countries gave "excellent" examples to the ques­ tion, "What does it look like to have an authoritative leadership?" that can only use its peremptory voice and knows only few friendly terms. But even these friendly terms are usually and regularly misused. Concerning what I have mentioned above, can we call these events "pride"? I do not mean that they should have been concealed. Just on the contrary, every­ thing should be unearthed and made pub­ lic. But what I mean is the correct mea­ sure: let everybody know everything, but do not give too much publicity to shock­ ing events. To make it precise: on one hand, too little publicity makes you ap­ pear as though you want to hide some­ thing from the public. Too much public­ ity, on the other hand, gets people fed up with any kind of news, and after a while, leads to total apathy. If there is one thing that should be avoided, this is it. "Pride and prejudice" belong to the same hemisphere of the brain. It is high time to use the other one as well. But do not forget to keep your feelings alive. Be sure you live on the earth but keep in mind, others do too. Licensed items reflect university image Your editorial, "More Input Needed to Determine Taste," contained some interesting points. The editorial stated that "the administrator must make judgment calls as to the tastefulness of products. This is an arbitrary decision and should be in the hands of more than one person." —Bob Hope Product decisions protect ASU name To the Editor: Thank you for the comprehensive article regarding the Collegiate Licensing program. Jamye Roberts did an excellent job in presenting some complicated material. As I pointed out, the program provides us with the opportunity to protect the integrity and reputation of the university and promote and advance a positive image. First, as licensing administrator I am responsible for making decisions, although these decisions aren't arbitrary, nor are they based upon my own personal taste. Since the licensing program is built upon reasonable guidelines (there are specific registered logos that can only be used within certain applications) it's a fairly easy process to approve or reject an item. As the story pointed out, I rejected a shirt design depicting Yosef urinating on the Demon Deacon. Certainly anyone with a modicum of good taste would have reached the same decision. In the relative short time I've been here I have been impressed with the maturity and commitment of Appalachian's student body. Thus, if there is interest among students I will be more than happy to set up a student advisory committee for the purpose of determining the appropriateness of student generated designs. Anyone interested in serving can call me at 2622346. Again, I thank "The Appalachian" for its coverage and interest. Mark N. Lev ine Assistant Vice Chancellor for Public Affairs Actions in Gulf not cause for pride To the Editor While I agree with the position taken by faculty members in their letter to the editor last week, explaining their position on the choice of General Kelly as convocation speaker and his choice of topics, I feel there is another fundamental problem with "America: The Pride is Back." Any pride that I may feel in the efficacy of American fighting men and weapons of war is certainly minute in comparison to the anguish, remorse and anger that I feel over the fact that, as a result of our extremely shortsighted energy policy (and thus foreign policy). we have just killed around a quarter of a million human beings whose only crime was to be the subjects of a ruthless dictator whom the United States has supported in the past with arms, aid and petrodollars. Several of the soldiers of whom I am personally aware are not proud of what they have helped to accomplish—for instance, soldiers who witnessed "Death Valley," where thousands of Iraqis were killed while in retreat. Statistics show that if the average American light vehicle were to get 12 miles per gallon more than it does today, we would not need to import any oil from the Middle East. We were well on our way toward this goal until the administration relaxed fuel economy standards several years ago. Such a goal is easily within our technological capabilities, at no decrease in comfort, and would certainly be cheaper, much more environmentally sound and more moral and worthy of pride than our recent actions. America has many things to be proud of, and to be thankful for, but the Gulf War certainly is not one of them. John Boll ASU Box 13942 III il �liL The Appalachian. Thursday.

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

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

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

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

Chancellor John Thomas was sitting in class at the "Conversa" in the mountains of central Costa Rica. Between July 20 and Aug. 17 of this year, Thomas stayed in Costa Rica to work on his Spanish. Thomas lived among the natives in the town of Santa Ana. Thomas and the other students spent five and a half hours daily in class, which was taught entirely in Spanish. Although he had some difficulty, Thomas felt that being "immersed" in the culture gave him confidence in his ability to speak the language. It also gave him an appreciation for what interna­ tional students go through at ASU. WTien asked todescribe the geography, Thomas replied, "Santa Ana is a mountain village and the weather there is not unlike Boone in the summer­ time." According to Thomas, the Costa Ricans are a Afipmlmchimn FMo by CIsay Pratt proud, but friendly people, eager to help foreigners CHANCELLOR TRAVELS TO CENTRAL AMERICA: Chancellor Thomas visited Costa Rica for learn theirlanguage.The food, which included lots cultural and educational experiences this summer. His present knowledge of Spanish grew with help from of rice, beans, coffee, chicken, fresh fruits, and the natives speaking the language and the classroom teachings. baked bread, was much to his liking. Although native products were cheap, import­ ed products were often more expensive in Costa Rica than they would have been in America. Thomas also made note of the country s political stability in an area of the world kn own for violent revolution (the Costa Rica army was abolished in 1948). Recent political events of global significance have made it increasingly important to understand and be able tocommunicate with members of other cultures. Thomas comments, "an understanding of the Hispanic culture in particular would be helpful to anyone involved incommercial endeavors within the United States." Thomas chose to studyinCosta Rica, as opposed to here in North Carolina, because of Iris interest in other cultures. "I am proud of what the dean's department heads and faculty have done about internationalizing the curriculum," said Thomas about efforts within the past two years to increase ASU students' exposui e to other cultures. Thomas' specific interest lies in Mexico,Central America, and the Hispanic culture because of the university's connections with colleges in Mexico City and San Jose. Thomas said, "I intend to nbw keep up my Spanish studies." Students work toward environmental perception By LISA LAUGHLIN Appalachian Staff Writer In today's society, the environment is a fragile treasure that few people actually get to experience fully. Some go camping to enjoy the pleasure of nature's beauty or participate in a clean-up cam­ paign. However, not many are aware that opportunities exist foT one to perform an even greater role in the life of the planet. "For the Life of the Planet...And the Experience of a Lifetime...SCA" is the slogan for the Student Conservation Association. In addition to publish­ ing a monthly magazine called "Earthwork," they help place students in national parks and forests all across the country where they are most needed. Two summers ago,"Jungle" George Kittrell had the opportunity to live and work at Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. A recreation and park management major, Kittrell's duties included issu­ ing back country permits, registering visitors in the campgrounds, issuing boat permits, and teaching boat safety. When not busy performing these tasks, Kittrell would step over to the visitor's center. "Many people would have beendriving for days," said Kittrell. "I tried to help them relax. I found that getting involved in trail maintenance was the most enjoyable." Kittrell described getting to walk around Yellowstone at leisure, jotting down things he observed such as animal tracks, trail condi­ tions, and what activities the visitors were enjoying. Another student who participated was Shannon Ballard. This past summer, Ballard worked at NorthCascades National Park Service Complex in Washington. She was stationed in Stehekin which is a small area of wilderness that can only be reached by plane, hiking, or by boat crossing a 55 mile long lake. Ballard's job was interpretation. This included answering questions in the visitor's center, giv­ ing "hands-on" programs to younger visitors, and giving guided walks through a historic apple orchard. She is especially proud of the special project of illustrating the Imus Creek Trail Guide. Ballard also spoke of how she passed a waterfall to work each day that reached a height of over 300 feet. "I am pleased that I got the chance to help others enjoy the outdoors without destroying it," Ballard said.

Martynova, an exchange student from the Soviet Union, will be attending the university for the 1991-1992 year. Anna,19, is part of an exchange program with ASU and Kharkob State University. She attends Kharkob University as a senior. Anna was chosen by Dr. Albert Hughes, a professor of Sociology at ASU. She met Dr. Hughes in 1989 during one of his visits to the Soviet Union. Martynova's major is psychology, and she is currently enrolled in business writing, psychol­ ogy, sociology, French, and modem dance. She enjoys her classes and her flexible schedule. At home in Kharkob she spends an average of six to eight hours a day in class compared to three to four hours here. Martynova plans to get involved in some type of club or organization here on campus. When I first asked her what she was interested in doing, she enthusiastically stated,"I want to be a cheerleader, because I love to dance." Anna has a zest for learning and studies hard to increase her knowledge."Hike my subjects. If I tell my sisters I enjoy learning, they will think I'm crazy," Martynova said. Family is an important part of Anna's life. "I am crazy about my family. It is perhaps the most important thing in my life," said Martynova. Martynova is fond of Boone and its people. "I admire it. Your people are so kind. It's a warm atmosphere in town and of people," Martynova said. Anna has a taste for American food and televi­ sion. Her favorite show is "Bewitched." She likes pizza and the Food Court's coleslaw, which she calls "cabbage." On the subject of the Soviet Union's dismissal of communism, she feels it will take time to change the system. "You can not destroy everything in one week. You can not change the thinking of tjie people,"Martynova said. She feels the thinking of the Soviet Union is gradually changing. Martynova believes people must first make a change within themselves before changes in a society can be made. "I begin to understand Peristroika within my­ self," Martynova said. Peristroika is the term for the new openness in the Soviet Union. On the future of her country Martynova ex­ presses many feelings. She fears for the future of her family, especially her younger sister. She de sires her sister to excel in her studies and have the same opportunities she has had. "In my soul I pray for a good future for my country," Martynova said. ROTC presented award for excellent leadership By CANDA F. SMITH Appalachian Et Cetera Editor To honor Military Appreciation Day, a cer­ emony was given last Saturday to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Reserve Officers Training Corps. In 1916 President Wilson signed the Na­ tional Defense Act creating the U.S. ROTC. On behalf of the anniversary. Chancellor Tho­ mas presented a plaque to Maj. Gen. Wallace C. Arnold, thecommanding General of Cadette Com­ mand in the United States, during halftime at the ASU-VMI football game. Eugenia W.Collins also contributed to the recognition by establishing a scholarship in honor of her late husband.Col. John G. Collins. Collins was the first professor of mili­ tary science at the university. For their leadership excellence, an award was presented to Appalachian State University ROTC by Brig. Gen. Julius Johnson, the commanding general of the 1st ROTC region. They placed 1st in 34 universities for leadership proficiency. Thomas also awarded a plaque to Cadette Travis Morris, a veteran of Operation Desert Storm who served with the 101st Airborne Division. The program was established to train soldiers on anational level. With the ROTC program, there are trained reserve officers to pull in case of a national emergency. Major William Duffy of the ASU ROTC said, "The main reason to become involved (in ROTC) is how well it prepares you for the outside world. It develops leadership, management, skill and confi­ dence, and these traits are markable no matter where you go." This is the 23rd year in the Appalachian pro­ gram. It has grown all over the country from 28 to See ROTC page 4 Afiptltchkn Phoro by Randal Rafc** AWARDS PRESENTED AT SATURDAY'S CEREMONY: Travis Morris accepts award for his action in Operation Desert Storm from Brig.

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

Jobs provided by the Student Conser­ vation Association are open to anyone. ROTC Continued from page 3 more than 400 universities from the time it was initially introduced to colleges. Women are an important part of the system. In the1972-73 school year, women began to get progressively interested in joining. In 1976 the first group of women was commissioned. Forty percent of the participants have scholarships even though for the first two years in the program, there is not a longterm obligation. Freshmen and sopho­ mores have the opportunity to apply for scholarships, but in the junior year of the program, an obligation must be made. Upon graduation, one is commissioned and must serve a total of eight years in the army. The obligation is fulfilled by serv­ ing two to four years of active duty followed by service in the reserves. Duffy feels confident about the pro­ gram at ASU. "I can't say enough good things about the university and their sup­ port. I want to give a special thanks to the Athletic Department because they have done everything they could to help out. We are fortunate to be where we are. I'm not sure that I could feel more at home with being in the military than here." Volunteers are treated like regular paid employees and are kept busy. Shelter, food and transportation are provided. Even I though volunteering for an entire summer is a huge sacrifice for anyone, in John Kelton's words, "The rewards come | later."

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

They demand"diversity" of almost every kind—race, gender, sexual orientation, even physical ability. What these folks won't countenance, however, is diverse opinions. As a black college student at the Uni­ versity of Maryland, I learned this truth the hard way. As a black conservative, I was ostracized by the very people who claimed tovalue difference because Iwas, well, different They didn't mind that I was black, of course, but College Park's politically correct student leadership seemed to prefer ideological lockstep within their "diverse" student body. Fortunately, I was never subjected to the kind of overt intolerance that many black conservatives endure, but there was always a palpable disdain for me and my views among other minoritystudents. One black sophomore, for example, explained to me that "white people are puttin' those ideas in your head." Another of my peers wrote in the student newspaper that black Hostile passerby insults student To the Editor; Appalachian students have the unique opportunity to experience cultural "y and respond to the events that shape the world in which we live, "s should take advantage of these opportunities by attending the Major P^lal Forum Series produced by the Office of Cultural Affairs, i year, Appalachian brings speakers to campus to share perspectives ^• •ariety of issues affecting our lives.

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

Still another per­ son once complained, "you just don't un­ derstand." Like many black college students, I found thestudent leadership's attempts to insulate me from diverse opinions conde­ scending and antithetical to the idea of a university education. Black collegians should learn to appreciate the rich heri­ tage of intellectual debate and dissent that has defined the black American experi­ ence. Men like W.E.B. Du Bois, Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. did not share a single set of ideas. Each came to his own conclusions through study and honest reflection. If any of us hope to understand the "black thing" referred to by those popular T-shirts, we must try a little study and reflection of our own. In 1905, W.E. B. Du Bois scolded a young black girl when he explained that, "There are, in the U.S. today, tens of thousands of colored girls who would be happy beyond measure to have the chance of educating themselves that you are ne­ glecting." He further warned her that,"Ignorance is a cure for nothing...every time acolored "Nigger!" This vile word of hatred, ignorance and white supremacy. I heard it yelled directly at me. The date was Sept. 10. The time approximately 9 p.m. The location, the corner of 321 and 105.1 was driving south on 105. The perpetrator of this verbal harassment was somewhere in the vicinity.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Touch rescues us from the endless mediating commentary, exhortation and offers an immediate,experience instead," said Kate Ariail of "The Inde- r pendent Weekly.""It's the most creative statement., I've seen in any medium in a very long time." Stage design by Linwood Taylor, lighting de- ,. sign by Chris Carter and music and sound effects by Paul Whetstone combine with the ensemble members Randy Lee Hendler,Sheila Kerrigan and 4 Jef to create a fusionof mime, music, mask, theater and comedy called movement theater. The stage is abstract and completely white, v adding to the action taking place. The music is a-. combination of well-known melodies, synthesized effects and themes that amplify the ideas the per- ,, formers try to convey. ...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"I firmly believe that we're going to come out of this stronger than we went into it," said Harvey Durham,provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs, of the cuts that have been made to faculty, staff, and administrative positions. "It's difficult to take cuts of $5.5 mil­ lion and continue on with business as usual but I don't think that the cuts will affect students that much.I think they will affect faculty," Durham said. To help relieve some of theburden that nas DCCII placed UII IttA-Uliy members who. has been pittCCUon faculty 111V11IL/V/l ij TT1IVZ, for themost part, have been asked to teach 12-hour workloads, the Faculty Senate is in theprocess of compiling a recommen­ dation of which programs should be cur­ tailed or deleted. "It is the faculty's right and responsi­ bility to suggest guidelines for the curtail­ ment It is not the administration's pre­ rogative to do this. The faculty mustcome up with those," Durham said. While some programs or majors which graduate few students could be deleted »av»»i» the curriculum entirely. wvivivu from , other programs will probably lose some of their elective choices, Durham specu­ lated. Another option that was suggested but will not occur involved increasing class sizes from 35-40 to 300-400, like some universities across the state. "Appalachian has built a reputation on having relatively small classes and if we went that route (larger class sizes)it would be difficult to back off. That's where the students would be done a disservice," Durham said. lyuiiioiti jatu. Despite the expected deletion or re­ structuring of several programs, Durham said that theuniversity would make every attempt to retain jobs for the faculty and staff that occupied those positions by re­ training them. "We always need advisers or freshman seminar professors. Some faculty might be able to teach other courses, others may even be able tocross departmental lines," Durham said. However, he added that the quality of education a student receives at Appala­ chian will not be affected by the deletion of some courses. "Most people change careers five or six times in their life. It is their under­ graduate training or their general educa­ tion courses which sustain them through­ out their career, not necessarily the train­ ing they receive withtheirmajor," Durham said.

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

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

In other business affairs, thecommittee presented the board with the proposed fee increases for 1992-93. In the board s next meeting, which will be Dec. 5 & 6, they will discuss the proposed fees for the upcoming school year. "Our concerns are going into next year (fees)," said Thomas E.

The proposed fee increases would add $140 to each student's fees, which is $30 less than the proposed increase of $170 that was approved but not instated for the 1991-92 year.

ASU celebrated with the annual convocation assembly. The speaker, retired Lt. Gen. Thomas Kelly, served as director of operations for the Joint Staff, as well as many other duties. General Kelly was one of the many leaders who contributed to our victory in the Persian Gulf. Many of Appalachian's students agreed with General Kelly and his spieech titled"Pride: America is Back. Kelly spoke of the war and its impact on America and our history.It gave students prride to know they were part of the battle at home to keep the spirit alive and to welcome our men and women home. Even those who did not sup­ port the war were praying for the safety of our soldiers. Applause echoed through the gym at the men­ tion of President George Bush and other leaders. Student Kim James stated that she felt "every­ one could listen to him." Others felt he shed a new light on the subject of Desert Storm. Kelly admitted that war was bad in itself, but sometimes it must beused to stop other, more evil forces. Kelly said, "War is evil... and inorder to be justified, it must be the lesser of the two evils." ROTC student David Schwier said, "General Kelly was an excellent spreaker. He showed us a side of the war that we couldn't see from the campius." Supporters of General Kelly's spieech attended, but protesters did also. Many students and some faculty members boycotted the convocation cer­ emony because they felt he may have represented one opinion on campus but not both sides. In the wordsof Dr. Gregory Reck,"Convocation is a time of celebration and unity, and this program didn't seem to have those values." Rather than not go at all, several of these nonsupporters congregated in Sanford Mall for what was called "An Alternative Celebration." Music was played and friends gathered for fellowship. Fliers werepassed out at the door to the gymnasium making statments such as: "Is military conquest ever valid basis for pride?" "In today's world, can a war really be won?" and "Does our newly-found pride encourage us to ignore asprecis of America of which we should not be proud (pxrverty, infant mortality, homelessness, unemployment, inad­ equate education and health care, etc.)?" These students and faculty members wore white arm bands "as a symbol of preace." These suprproit­ ers felt General Kelly did not represent the unity that was needed for this presentation. "People at ASU knew that the war was contro­ versial, but they still divided theschool by choosing him as a spreaker," stated Sandy Feutz. Chris Sexton said he "didn't want (Kelly) to be the way we celebrateour birthday. Our celebration should be about life, not death." Still another group of students and faculty at­ tending the ceremony felt General Kelly's spieech was very upliftingbut not appropriate for the occa­ sion. For instance, Appalachian State was hardly mentioned in the spieech, even though that was the reason we were gathered together. These pieople felt it could have been more effective if Kelly had not sprent so much time on the technical terms and procedures that meant nothing to the average stu­ dent. One professor was overheard saying, "He was definitely a man who enjoys his job. If he could have communicated that better to the students, it would have been much more effective." AppMtchltn Photo by Jonnittf Mom* 1st AMENDMENT EXERCISED: A faction of students and faculty gathered at Sanford Mall protesting the spreaker for Convocation on Thursday of last week. Songs were sung, literature was distributed and voices were expressed during the rally on Sept. 5. ASU security strives for campus safety By MELISSA DAMERON Appalachian Staff Writer Because societal safety is a great concern, ASU has been making a huge effort to maintain the security of the campus. One example of the con­ cern on campus is the Mountaineer Escort Service. Brought about by the Student Government Asso­ ciation andnow inits sixth year, the escort service was formed to eliminate students' need to walk on campus alone at night. Director of Mountaineer Escort Jim Norket said, "The service receives about 25 callspier night. The escorts were originally accustomed to walking but now have the convenience of a van which extends their route outside of campus." The ser­ vice provides help to King Street, Kingswood Apartments, Apipletree Apiartments over to KelPat, Mountaineer Apartments and piarking lots at Horn in the West, Broyhill Conference Center and State Farm. However, some students have had complaints about their safety. Heather Freeman said, 'Too many rumors are floating around and scaring pieople so no one feels safe." Students like Heather who work at night cannot take advantage of the AppalCart and need a safe way home. The service does not opierate during the summer semester or on weekends.Twice Mountaineer Es­ cort attempted to opierate on weekends but very few calls were made. The service runs Sunday through Thursday from dark until 12:15 a.m. The Student Affairs Committee helps with stu­ dent safety by walking around campus and check­ ing for overgrown bushes and broken lights and repxirting these to security. Along with the escort service, the campus also helps with student safety by promoting Safety Awareness Week. In 1989 a march with roughly one hundred participants walked against violence for the first time after the murder of Jeni Gray, an ASUnews bureau employ ee .The march was started in hopies of promoting safety awareness on lite ASU campus. This year's walk, held on Sep*. 3, included Barbara Daye, vice-chancellor of student development, the student affairs commitee, cam­ pus security and up to 1,000 students. Daye helpied with the planning of the 1991 Awareness Walk. "I was pleased with the number of pieople that attended and the suppxirt that was given," she said. "Success will be really measured by the changes in attitudes and the respiect for others on campus." The number for Mountaineer Escort, which is located in the security building, is 262-6438. Senate promotes student involvement By KATE HESS Appalachian Staff Writer During the first weeks of school, one phrase oftenheard around campus is "get involved."There are a variety of clubs, spxirts and activities to take part in, but some students don't know where to begin. The student Senate is a large organization on campus that affects the lives of many of the stu­ dents and faculty. There are 39 off-campius seats, and two on-campus seats from each dorm avail­ able. Being a member of the Senate allows you to have a voice in university piolicies, as well as developing communication skills. For example, on Locust Street during the sum­ mer, spicedbumpis werebuilt because Doug Duncan, a member of the Senate, propiosed the idea at a meeting, and it was voted on. Last year a big complaint among the student body was they weren't informed about bills being passed. For example, student fees were increased, and no one really understood why or how it was voted on. According to SGA Vice President Reggie Murphy, students willbe better informed this year. The office of student development purchased a full-page advertisement in "The Appalachian," with a section for information about the student government. Also, when senators attend the RSA meetings, they will give information about bills the Senate is working on at the time. That way students can express opinions and concerns about the bills and other issues. On Wed., Sep*. 11, at 5 p.m. on Sanford Mall, SGA will host aparty to getpieople involved. Most of the candidates will be pjresent so you can meet the pieople you will be voting for. All senators are required to go to RSAmeetings, where students can expiress their problems or con­ cerns abouthappenings around campus.

Razzle Dazzle begins intramural year By RANDALL REININK Appalachian Staff Writer Xflpjtac/uwl Photo by Randall Reinink BLINDFOLDED ANONYMITY: Above is an example of an activity at last year's Razzle Dazzle. In its 3rd consecutive year, theprogram continues to gainparticipants. The intramural spiort's intentions are to promote new friendships by offering bizarre interaction games. It shakes, it shimmies, it rolls: it's the third annual Razzle Dazzle on Sanford Mall. Razzle Dazzle is a fun, goofy spiecial event piut on by intramural spxirts. "Razzle Dazzle is a kick-off event for intra­ mural spxirts," said Jim Eubanks, coordinator for intramural sports. "Wehave iton Sanford Mall so it will have the maximum amount of expxisure." Razzle Dazzle has six fun events: Chinny chin chin, Put-it-on-take-it-off, wild thing (an obstacle course), blind barrel roll, centipede shuffle, and a seven legged race. "These events are scientifically designed so no one with athletic ability has an advantage," said Eubanks. "Everyone who enters will receive a Budweiser T-shirt,"saidMikeBlanton, intramural teamspiorts programmer. "The winning team will recieve some really nice Budweiser ski jackets. The second place team will get a Budweiser duffle bag, and everyone will have fun." This year's compietition is limited to 30 teams. "The first year we had this, only six teams com­ pleted. Last year, we had thirty, and five teams on standby," Eubanks commented. All teams are co-recreational. Teams have a minimum of six members. Three aremen, threeare women. "Each team can have eight max. Two are for alternates," said Blanton. "We have the teams co-rec so pieople can meet other pieople and have fun. This event isn't just for freshmen; it is for everyone. We'realso trying to tie in May Day in the spiring. It's a similar event we hold in the spiring, and it caps off the year," said Eubanks. T-shirts and pirizes are given by Forester Bever­ age. "Without their help, we wouldn't be able to have Razzle Dazzle in this form." said Eubanks. "As we get larger, who knows what will happien? We've about reached the limit on Sanford Mall, but if it goes off the Mall we'll lose the visibility." "We did it for the fun...and the t-shirts," said Keith Jackson, one of last year'swinners. Jackson's team, "Bad News" came in first, out of all thirty teams. "When we won we were shocked...we put the team together two days before the event. Our team consisted of myself, two of my friends, my girl­ friend and two of her friends. "Our best event was Put-it-on-take-it-off. We watched what everyone else was doing wrong so we could do it better," said Jackson. Razzle Dazzle is designed to introduce students to the world of intramural spiors.

The Ahps could muster only 18 yards of offense in the first half and didn't record their first first down until 13:50 mark of the third quarter. We thought we had developed a good scheme to punch the ball at them," Moore said. "We wanted to stay out of long yardage situations. We had plays where we thought we would make four or five yards, then they would just shut it down." ASU quarterback D.J. Campbell was overmatched against the Tiger defense. Campbell completed 5 of 10 passes for 33 yards and no interceptions before leaving the game in the third quarter. Sophomore quarterback Andy Arnold saw action in the second half and connected on five of eight passes for 49 yards. "We decided early in the week that we were going to play Andy Arnold and the three freshmen backs (Nate Abraham, Chip Hooks and Willie Mclain), Moore said. "That was no reflection on D.J." The Tigers scored on four straight pos­ sessions to seize command of the game in the first half. Williams capped off a six-play, 41yarddriveby scampering 14yards around the right end for Clemson's first score of the afternoon, less than four minutes into the contest. After a Harold Alexander punt, the Tigers embarked on their most time con­ suming drive of the afternoon, a 16 play. seven minute drive that endedin a Caputo two-yard touchdown burst.

ASU fullback J.K. Reaves' fumble set up a 31-yard field goal from Welch that extended Clemson's lead to 27-0 early in the third quarter. The Tigers' final score of the contest came with 1:43 to go in the third quarter, when backup quarterback Richard Moncrief connected with wide receiver Terry Smithon anine-yard scoring strike. Welch's extra point gave the Tigers a 340 cushion. "I thought our defense did a good job and never gave up today,"Moore said."A lesser defense might have given up 18 to 20 more points this afternoon. And our defense was on the field for a long time today." "This is a much improved team over last year and will be a contender in its conference," Hatfield said. Moore said that despite the outcome of the game, the Mountaineers werestill able to establish some positive things. "We saw some good things this after­ noon," Moore said."We got some younger players in the game and got a good look at them. We showed we are an improved football team." "Our players have a lot of pride and Appalachian has been a team to contend for the Southern Conference and the NCAA playoffs and we feel we are that typeof team againthis year,"Moore added.

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

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

Well, it's abit early to tell just yet, but I'dcertainly venture that things aren't far from getting wild. Or at least interesting. I'm not out to romanticize that period of history, but there was one very powerful lesson to be learned: You can fight City Hall/The Pentagon/The Administration and win. It is in fact possible for individuals to get involved and make a change. The other day I went to the Walk for Awareness march. I missed the last one, but I caught the first one, when ^tilled as a greater variety of food service options. However, a closing of us occurred simultaneously with the opening of Park Place, thus limiting t'ood service options available to students. >nkPlaceentered the food service line-up this fall,providing students with piity Italian food. However, the good Italian fooddoes not make up for the iwrous student losses that stemmed from the opening of the new facility, lie losses are most harshly felt on the weekends, as the services of two tofood service facilities have been eliminated on Saturday and Sunday, xtntscan no longer eat breakfast in thecafeteria on Saturday and Sunday, vt:an they eat lunch in Welborn Hall, as the doors are locked. The Gold ® is also closed on the two weekend days, eliminating Saturday and The Jim Williams' column in the Aug. 29 issue of 'The Appalachian" failed to meet the standards expected at this newspaper. These standards include the proper checking and reviewing of facts, objectivity, attribution and editorial review. The column survived several levels of scrutiny, each of which should have stopped its progress. The editors of 'The Appalachian" have addressed the problems encountered with this column in the time since its publication to insure that no column, news story or editorial makes it to publication without adequate IK Park Place Cafe is a nice place to dine, withgood food in a picturesque ^closing of the cafeteria and the Gold Room on the weekends severely tsthe options to students, as does the cafeteria's dinner closing.

Distributed by Tribune Media Services the people who make these decisions were/might have been elected by you. If you want a voice in the decision-making, you must make yourself heard. Ever write a representative on any level of government? Most of these people read their mail, or at least hear about it from their staff.It is always interesting to read whatever they send back. Read what they do anddon't say, andby all means, share it with your friends. There are plenty of other opportunities to get involved beyond writingletters and signing petitions right here on campus and in the Boonecommunity. Most big changes start on the individual level, and I think that I've gotten at least as much out of helping other people help them­ selves as those I was working with. Sometimes the biggest changes aren't necessarily the ones you read about The really amazing thing that happened here recently was the alternative convocation, largely held in protestof the topic of the regular one. There wasn't a huge number of people there, but it was definitely enough to attract some attention and make people think about what was going onin Broome-Kirk Gym. Somekind of nationalist rally, put on as having something to do with education? Enlightenment and genocide...? The interesting thing about the alternative convocation to me was the number of people there, and that many of them were faculty willing to stand up and make a state­ ment about the emphasis we place on militarism as the only way to be proud of one's country. When I was an undergraduate at UNCC, our peace group could barely get together enough people to have an official university organization. I don' t know if it was just that that particu­ lar campus was apathetic, or people were generally less involved than they arenow, but it certainly wasnice to see that many people out to do something peaceful for a change. review. The steps taken in the week-and-a-hatf since publication should insure that such mistakes are not made in thefuture. "The Appalachian" regrets the incident and openly apologizes to the parties involved.

According HonDubberly, director of food services, Appalachian Food Services is strides to address these issues. Dubberly said the menu at Park Place f ten expanded to include an option other than Italian on Saturday and He also said the Food Court will be adding a cafeteria-style meal to iner menu. These are steps in the right direction, but other strides can be lb. Closer to home, it is going to be necessary for us as students to stand up for our interests. As the state be­ comes increasingly hard pressed for bread, more cuts are going to be made in things the state does, like education. As more cuts aremade, it will become even more difficult to get into and stay in school. Somewhere along the way, Editor's Note onday lunches.

It was a pretty powerful affair, with people chanting and singing and out in force to take a little more control over their own lives. Only this time I wondered why so many people showed up for the event (other than it seemed to be the thing todo).I will play the optimist and suggest that maybe we're seeingpeople ready to take some charge of their own lives. That is what involvement is all about We make decisions in our daily lives about what to do and not do in a day's time, but we seem to be less able or willing to confront bigger issues that may or may not come up on a daily basis. Too big, maybe, or we just don't have time. With the way things are starting to go now, we're not going tohave thatluxury much longer. Violence,poverty and illiteracy are on therise, and most of the solutions we are being offered involve large caliber weapons and incarceration. So it shall go until we stop leaving it up to our government to solve problems instead of becoming active ourselves. Klondike manager responds to Williams article To the Editor: I am writing in response to Jim Williams' commentary in the Aug. 29 issue of "The Appalachian." In this issue, an "unnamed" restaurant has been accused of censorship and an "un­ named" power company has been portrayed as tyrannical and unjust. The owner and staff of Klondike Cafe would like to express the reasons for cancel­ ling The Scene and reasons leading up to it. For the last six months we have received phone calls and letters regarding fliers posted in public places such as utility poles and buildings. We were informed that this action is both dangerous and unlawful and we would be fined by the Town of Boone should we continue. The restaurant itself has stopped, but many bands ignore our plea and continue to do this. We've already paid a $50 fine; the next one is $500. No, Mr. Williams, no one has threatened to "cut our juice off' and "leave us in the dark." Enter The Scene. After we asked them not to, they put up dozens of fliers depicting a man and a woman engaging in sexual intercourse. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's X-rated, but it is close, and I wouldn't want my children (if I had them) to see this all over town. The point is, these fliers, X-rated or not, were put up by the band and Klondike Cafe has had to deal with the many upset citizens and the director of New River Light and Power who called me the day of the show. He told me that the fliers should be removed for safety reasons. Igot in touch with Chip (from The Scene) who said they'd pull down the fliers, if they had time. They didn't, and we cancelled them. Sorry guys (The Scene), but there is a difference between being a coward, which you've accused us of being, and being stupid. We've chosen to be neither and attempt to stay in business in a town where not many people have the same tastes you do. As for Mr. Williams and "The Appalachian." I'm surprised you would admittedly print second-hand gossip in your paper and can't give much respect to a columnist who won't even check his sources. Go ahead and call us censors if you want, but I'm sure there's some fancy and degrading name for publishing heresay. Whatever that is, that's what you are. We'd like to thank the many partrons who've stood by us in this matter. Jennifer Hester General Manager, Klondike Cafe Some suggestions for Awareness Walk To the Editor: So many come to this community believing that they are safe here, and murder could happen here. But it did | happen, and I feel that it is the responsi­ bility of those of us who were here to • educate and make those new to our community aware. I fear that this year's! walk has failed to do so. This walk has the potential to be a ! strengthening, positive, consciousness- * raising experience. I applaud those whostarted it and kept it going, but I would * make a few suggestions for future walks: Without making Jeni Grey a martyr " for the cause, discussing her experience in brief for those new to Boone would * be constructive. We should discuss issues such as * violence specific to our area, prevention methods and professionals in our community who are trained to help, such as OASIS, the Counseling Center,!

' 0on, other students in the Univer' off)orth Carolina system will not be Ltedtopay similar increases in their it activity fees either. 3ue to the rising cost of tuition, the ^Carolina State Board of Governors # the decision this summer to freeze j[te increases. from discussion with other business Iters in the system,it is my opinion that ;l was the first school to come forward vihamoratorium on fees,"said Dr. Ward Zimmerman, vice chancellor of business affairs. "Chancellor John Thomas made the decision not to increase ASU student fees and subsequently the board of governors then made the decision not to increase student fees," said Dr. Greg Blimling, vice chancellor of student development. While students aren't paying the in­ crease in student activity fees, there was a $114 tuition increase, which was set by the state legislature. However, Blimling said the increase in tuition could have been much worse. "The legislature spoke of raising tu­ ition as much as 40 percent. We became concerned that the rising cost of tuition plus the $170 increase in student fees would result in some students being un­ able to return," Blimling said. Therefore, students attending the uni­ versity this year are paying $6.50 more in tuition and fees than last year. "It's a bargain to come to school here this year. However, it (the $6.50) doesn't cover our increase in costs," Zimmerman said. In the general fee category, university athletics were given a$13 increase, health services a $12 increase and student activi­ ties an additional $23. The other fees that were to be charged would have been used to pay the remain­ ing deficit for bonds or mortgages on campus buildings. However, Zimmerman noted that it is possible that the fees could be reinstated for the 1992 spring semester if the chan­ cellor takes a proposal to the board of governors in December. The student fee increase that was ap­ proved, but which will not be instated, consisted of increases in general fees and fees and charges related to liquidation of indebtedness. The largest increase in this category was $70 to go toward the Plemmons Stu­ dent Union expansion. A $34 increase was for athletic facilities and a $3 increase for a student facility. But despite the system's willingness to keep increases down to a minimum this year, Blimling and Zimmerman agree that next year the proposed increases will have to be approved. Bus service extended "We are taking in less money than we are spending. We've had to take money out of our reserve funds so that we don't decrease student services or student pro­ grams," Blimling said. While Zimmerman said there is speculation about the increases for next year's fees, the administration is already meeting to discuss those proposed in­ creases. A preliminary draft for discussion has proposed an increase of $140, down $30 from the increase approved for 199192. Funding for several of the university's building projects,such as the studentunion expansion, the Student Activities Center and other renovations projects are no longer being collected. fV* ~ ~ ' • % {jijjalCart adds new route and more stops ASU students can use the AppalCart free of charge upon presenting the bus driver with their student identification cards.

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

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

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

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

This sculpture consists of bumper stickers on old car bumpers (not placed on there for the sculpture).

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

AppM+chmr, PtxMo by Nkote Quirw For one week in the middle of May, Hughes lectured English language students in Kharkob, a city located in the Ukranian Soviet Socialist Re­ public . While in Kharkob, Dr. Hughes met with the rector (chancellor) of the State University in Kharkob and discussed ideas for a student/facultv exchange program with Appalachian. Hughes took his second trip to the Soviet Union June 27-July 20. He toured with 25 high school students as a part of the People to People Student Exchange Program to the cities of Leningrad. Moscow. Kiev, Poltava, Ivanovo and Kharkob.

The group hIMHK rrin • iiihitii «~r «in—uniw iiai i also had an opportunity to visit a home to view the typical Soviet lifestyle. The students saw a tworoom apartment and found that many families must share kitchens.When asked how theSoviet lifestyle matched up to that of the United States, Catherine WTieeler, a freshman at ASU who accompanied Dr. Hughes, replied, "The lifestyle was nowhere near what we have in the U.S." During his crips Dr. Hughes discovered simi­ larities and differences among American and Soviet youth. One difference was the Soviet "reluctance to initiate conversation," says Hughes. Although differences exist, "The students dress much like we do. They watch MTV," staled Hughes. While in Kharkob, Wheeler had a chance to learn about the university's curriculum and make some Soviet friends. Wheeler compared the activi­ ties students engage in at ASU with those at the University in Kharkob and concluded, "There isno student life there." "Sometimes the students will go to class six hours at a time. The students study hard." said Wheeler. See PROFESSOR page 6 �The Appalachian. Thurtdax Aupuu IQQI Soldiers Continued from page 5 the ground war we split up. Three other drivers and myself were taking fuel and filters for tanks and stuff. It was so dark we couldn't even see the tanks. It (the war) was going so fast." The war did slow down for Davis one night. "We were on the Euphrates River, less than 200 miles from Baghdad. The 24th Infantry Division was outside the town of Basra. We were driving along when two trucks blew some tires. At first we thought we were being shot at. But when we got out of the vehicles we found Iraqi mines all over the place. Weclimbed back into the trucks and waited until the next morning for the M.P.'s to get us out of there." Davis did not come under direct en­ emy fire. "But when they were blowing up some of the Iraqi bunkers, some of the stuff started falling down all around us," said Davis. "I missed school," said Davis, "but the support we received made me feel like they were right beside me." Mike Wood is another student mem­ ber of the 1451st. He also went to Bragg when activated last November. His mis­ sion, like the rest of the 1451st, was to support the outgoing troops. He was the assistant Non-Commissioned Officer in charge of loading military aircraft bound for the desert. Wood is a special education major at ASU. The deployment has set back his school plans for a year. "I don't know w hat this will do to my student teaching," he said. Wood was enthusiastic about the sup­ port he received from ASU."It was great. Barbara Dave and Teresa Johnson (from financial aid) gave 500 percent! We got T-shirts and newsletters. I don't think you'd get that kind of support from any other school." Travis Morris is currently a criminal justice major at ASU, but last year he was an intelligence analyst with the 2/17th Cavalry, 101st Airborne Division. He was with one of the first units on the ground in Saudi Arabia."At first we were pretty scared; we didn't have a whole lot of equipment with us. And Hussein had a lot of tanks and stuff. But later it was like, let's get this over with. At first we lived in a parking garage, near King Fahd Air­ port. During the day it got over 130 de­ grees inside. There were only two toilets for the entire battalion." Later he moved to within artillery range of Iraq. 'The hardest part was just being there, putting up with the desert. I slept in a hole in the sand. It was about waist high and covered by my poncho. It was pretty comfortable. Only, after a sand­ storm I'd wake up with a small dune on my feet." Morris described an event that hap­ pened to him before the ground war. "We were coming back from a reconnaissance mission in Iraq. The Chinook (helicop­ ter) we were in started banking all over the place. We didn't think anything about it then. Later when we were landing, the crew chief told us to assume crash posi­ tions. When we asked him why,he told us our rear tire had been shot off coming back over the Saudi border." Morris iscurrently an ROTC cadet and will rejoin the Army after finishing his degree at ASU. Morris is a native of Lincoln ton. Saturday, Sept. 14 is Military Appre­ ciation Day. Events during the halftime of the ASU-VM1 football game will be sponsored by the ASU ROTC.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Appalachian State had planned to vrease student fees for this fall by tacking on an additional $170 per imester. However, taking into consideration the increase in tuition, Appalachian ®e to place a moratorium on student fee increases. According to Appala:•« Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs Ward Zimmerman, ASU was the ^institution in the University of North Carolina system to suggest a freeze oofees. Hie University of North Carolina General Administration welcomed Appalachian's decision and froze fee increases throughout the 16-member ilsystem. Appalachian's administration should be commended for its decision to kspinterests of students at heart by not implementing fee increases. Approval was originally given for a $170 fee increase, of which $70 was ijoioward the Plemmons Student Union expansion project. Other portions ieincrease were to go to such areas as health services, athletics and student nvitks. These areas would have added to the services offered to students. 1 the cuts, one might think these added services, as well as the npansion plans for the student union, would have been axed. However, jpalachian has committed itself to a quality out-of-class education prop. ^expansion of the student union will go forward as planned, using funds wiously collected. Hie university will use reserve funds to prevent student services and spms from being negatively affected by the freeze. Reserve funds are for aydays, and administrators should be thanked for not asking students to '•ythe umbrellas.

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

He is the author of over 200 major transporta­ tion, economics, marketing, and logistics journal articles and papers, and is a fre­ quent consultant to business and govern­ ment. Davis was a distinguished professor of business administration and holder of the Oren Harris chair of trans­ portation at the University of Arkansas, where he was also director of the university's Center of Transportation Re­ search. Davis stressed in an interview after accepting the position that the College of Business is not a vocational school.

L sting list procedure examined — Davis believes the College of Busi­ ness' strengths are its accreditation by the American AssemblyofCollegiate Schools of Business, which sets standards for fac­ ulty, students, curriculum, library and fa­ cilities, the faculty's activity in research and professional organizations, and stu­ dents' placement in management posi­ tions after graduation. "Accredited colleges of business are an exception, not the norm," Davis said. Upton becoming dean, Davis had a cer­ tain number of goals he wished to accom­ plish. "There were a certain amount of things I wanted to do and now it's time to get back to teaching," explained Davis. "I've been thinking about this fora long time; thecollege is in good shape, we have anew admissionsstandard and we'reready for the next 10 to 15 years.

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

The school of music ceremony begins at 1 p.m. in Broyhill Music Center. The speaker is Bruce L. Christensen, presi­ dent and chief executive officer of Public Broadcasting Service. Gwen Locklear, a sophomore, sees her life changing as well. She will also be moving off-campus andexpects tochange her perspectives on things. Locklear plans to be more dedicated to her studies since her classes will constitute her business major requirements. She also plans to be more involved in on-campus activities as well as enjoying the outdoors. "I see it as being a really fun year," Under Christensen, PBS established a national board ofeducators who help prublic television shap>e its services to schools. More than 29 million students have ac­ cess to those services. He also changed the way pwblic television programs are selected and funded. Christensen, elected to the PBS position in 1984, served two years as president of the National Asso­ ciation of Public Television Stations. The college of fine and applied arts ceremony will be at 1 p.m. in Varsity Gym. Richard Davis, a member and past chair of Appalachian's board of trustees, will be the speaker. Davis, of WinstonSalem, is owner and manager of Davis Management Services, an accounting and business management firm. He served two terms on Winston-Salem's Board of Aldermen in the 1970s, and he is active in civic and charitable affairs in the Win­ ston-Salem/Forsyth area. North Carolina Rep. Ruth M. Easterling (D-Mecklenburg) will spreak at the gradu­ ate school ceremony in Farthing Audito­ rium at 1 p.m. A member of the state house since 1977, Easterling is a member of the appropriations, economic expan­ sion, human resources and judiciary committees. She also chairs the Mecklenburg delegation. Easterling is chaiiperson of the Woman's Legisla­ tive Caucus, past president of the N.C. Women's Political Caucus and a former member of the Charlotte City Council. The final commencement ceremony of the day, for the college of business, begins at 4 p.m. in Varsity Gym. The speaker is Jim Hyler, president of First Citizens BancShares and First Citizens Bank in Raleigh. Hyler became First Citizens' chief fi­ nancial officer in 1980 and was named president in 1988. He is a member of many Raleigh area boards and civic orga­ nizations. "I can predict that much of my time and energy next year will be sp>cnt seeking adequate funding from public as well as private sectors," Thomas said. Dr. Ward Zimmerman, vice-chancel­ lor for business affairs, is also very aware of the financial problems in store for staterun universities. He feels North Carolina gets the best returns on its investments, epecially ASU. "Wecancome through these hard times better and stronger," said Zimmerman. Ron Dubberly, director of food ser­ vices, foresees massive changes next year. The new food facility, located in the stadium heights area, will be opren in the fall. The facility, named Trivettc Hall, will house three new operations: Park Place Cafe, The Pizzaria and The Market. Dubberly said that mainly Italian food, ranging from spaghetti to manicotti, will be served at the Park Place Cafe. Due to this new facility, the scheduling of employees and the hours the other food facilities are open will have to be altered. On the athletic side, Jerry Moore, head football coach, predicts a better football team for next year. As Appala­ chian improves, he also expxxts other collegiate teams to improve. Two ACC games are planned for next year. Moore exprects Clemson to be a competitive team as usual but he is hopeful for ASU due to an exceptional spring practice by the team. Art Rex, soccer coach, sees a very young teamnextyear as aresultof the graduation of 11 seniors on this year's team. A main goal of the team is to be a contender for the Southern Conference. As the saying goes, "The show must go on," and according to Jean Roberts, assistant director of student programs, a lot will be going on. One event that will begin next fall is the ALL A.P.P.S. Festival. This festival will be held every semester and the theme for next semester is the History of the Music of the 60's. Each council of the A.P.P.S. programming committee will take part. The films committee will show the movie "Yellow Submarine."

Peer career announcesopenings for Peer Counselors for fall semester: The Peer Career Center is currently accepting applications for peer counselors for fall semester 1991. Peer Career is a free drop in service to the ASU community which offers career counseling and information. The Center's paraprofessional staff receives intensive training and experience in counseling fellow students with career concerns. Applications are available at the Peer Career Center located on the second floor ot Plemmons Student Union and at the counseling & Psychological Services Center For further SGA and WASU sponsored a candle­ light vigil on Jan. 24 with several speakers calling forcontinued support of the troops. "The troops are united and strong for us, we need to be united and strong for them," said ASU junior Scott Buettner, whose father was stationed in Saudi Arabia. The Allied invasionof Kuwaitoccurred in February with some military personnel predicting that the war would be over in two weeks. These predictions proved to be accurate and a decisive victory soon followed with service men and women arriving home to a flurry of support. In the course of the 1990-91 school year articles concerning the construction of the Student Activities Center, the ef­ fects of the economic recession, the Sen­ ate election between Jesse Helms and Harvey Gantt, as well as many other is­ sues headlined at ASU. Many of these events and decisions shaped the course of our year and will continue to guide the university throughout the coming years while other actions had more indirect ef­ fects. While issues such as increased stu­ dent fees and the construction of the SAC stirred controversy, other actions such as the troop support rallies and ASU's na­ tional ranking as a top tenregional univer­ sity caused us to stop and realize what a special placeeach ASU student is a part of and the progress that can be made through each individual's contributions. The items will remain on Clint Howard and the Blue Ridge Mountain Boys will perform May 4 at 3 and |o p.m. at 262S20^»nt SUPP°n Buildin8' Shelton, whose husband was stationed in Saudi Arabia. "We are here to support the men and women in the armed services," Shelton said. "I don't see money going into the bud­ get for this facility or any other facility in the state university system," said Rep. Dave Diamont, D-Surty. However, ASU vice chancellor of business affairs, Dr. Ward Zimmerman, remained optimistic stating, "They (the legislature) didn't use the word cut, they used the word 'delay.'" Appalachtaii hosting Mayfest craft and art Festival May 4-5: Persian Gulf War Concerns over Iraq's invasion of Ku­ wait in August had several people worried about increased fuel costs and U.S. troops being stationed in Saudi Arabia. Several hundred hostages, including Americans, were taken by Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. ASUprofessors Dr. David White and Dr. Jawad Bargothi made predictions before the U.S. invasion that military ac­ tion would be taken against Iraq. "I think we will attack Iraq and take (Hussein's) military industrial complex, the chemical weapons, everything," Bargothi stated. U.S. bombers began their air raid on Jan. 16, and the American public contin­ ued their support of the troops. A "News­ week" magazine poll taken after the first wave of attacks showed a nearly 5-to-l margin of support for the military action. When 32 ASU students were called to serve in the Persian Gulf, the campus responded with troop support marches and candlelight vigils. Also, the United States was dotted with yellow ribbons appearing on everything from cars to trees. In Boone an estimated 600 people at­ tended a march orgazined by Melanie ever, ASU was not the only school af­ fected by the budget problems.

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

The race, which was hotly contested and called too close tocall by both parties, had Helms receiving approximately 54 percent of the vote. According to unofficial voter returns, Gantt won in Watauga County by a mar­ gin of 792-votes. Randy Hill, then SGA state affairs chairperson, said, "I think ASU students were a definite factor in Gantt carrying this county." Both candidates made visits to Boone while campaigning with Gantt speaking at Hardin Park Elementary School and Helms organizing a rally at Shadrack's. Students arrested for bomb threats In Wey Hall ASU campus security arrested two ASU students on Nov. 11 for making a bomb threattoWeyHall.Thetwostudents were charged with making a false report of a destructive device under N.C. general statutes and were released on $500 bond. "We consider this a very serious of­ fense. University policy states that any­ one charged with making threatening calls may besuspended immediately,"said Roy Tugman, ASU director of public safety and security. Leash law amended On Jan. 29, SGA passed, arguably, its most controversial piece of legislation: Senate bill 024-003. The amendment states: "No animals are permitted on the ASU campus without being on a leash in which the owner has physical control of the leash. No animals shall be tied and abandoned on the ASU campus." Student outcry followed the bill's pas­ sage with many dog owners protesting the Senate's decision. However, SGA coun­ tered stating that they were only trying to enforce a university law that was not be­ ing enforced. Zimmerman, vice chancellor of business affairs, said ASU has not felt the same "This (the leash law) is not being en­ forced, Senator Shelby Johnson said, The increase would support the cost of the SAC, rising health care costs, text­ book rental fees, and athletic fees, as well as other things, Zimmerman said. ASU recognized as a nationally ranked university "U.S. News and World Report" re­ leased its list of "America's Best Col­ leges. ASU was ranked 10th for regional colleges and universities in the South. This ranking is a credit to our out­ standing faculty, students, and staff. We have known for some time that we have an outstanding university, but it is especially gratifying to have that confirmed by a national publication," said Dr. Clinton Parker, associate vice chancellor for aca­ demic affairs. The ranking in the top 10 has occurred four times since 1985, according to News Bureau Director Speed Hallman. The rankings are based upon the selectivity of explaining SGA's decision to pass the bill. Randy Yelton, head of student affairs, said, 'This is basically trying to get dog owners to take responsibility for their animals. It is also to prevent people from being attacked by dogs." Frank Hall Representative Matt Wilfiford argued that the presence of dogs on campus adds to the atmosphere. "We need to get rid of the problems with at­ tacks, but keep the atmosphere that the dogs add," Williford said. The dog control policy will cause unat­ tended dogs being taken to the animal shelter, Yelton said. Senior gift honor Broyhill family The Senior Committee of AS U pledged a garden area in honor of the Broyhill family as the 1991 Senior Class gift.

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

Elvey was bom on October 22, 1914. She attended college at Florida State Uni­ versity and participated in the Phi Mu chapter there. Elvey has been a part of the organization for 57 years. Beginning in 1983 when the sorority came onto campus, Elvey became the advisor. Since then she has been named outstanding sorority advisor every year at ASU as well as at the Phi Mu National Convention. She was also the 1986 recepient of the Outstanding Alumna award at the Phi Mu national convention. Services for Elvey which were con­ ducted by Rev. Jerry Allen, were held on April 30 at 4 p.m. at Hampton Funeral Home. Phi Mu President Kimberly Cox said, "Mrs. Elvey touched each and every heart that she ever came in contact with. The loss is a great one, but we know that she is happier now. We can never thank her family and the Lord enough for allowing her to come into our lives. Her memory will live forever in our bond." unities hian - D o n Students Continued from page 1 Another program to be run in October is called "fun flicks" in which stu­ dents can make their own videos.

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

I have nothing but praise for the band. As far as I am concerned, they are one of the best bands I have seen in Boone. How does one describe a band like Eskimo Sunburn? The way I pictured them was as the Harlem Globetrotters of rock 'n' roll.

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

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

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

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

Junior Jon Fullen led the Apps as he won the high jump and triple jump while placing third in the long jump with respective marks of 7'0", 48' 11.75 .and 23' 6.25". Fullen was named all-conf ence in each of the contested jumps. Fullen also claimed fifth in the javelin at 161'6". Linell Johnson was the only other indi­ vidual winner for ASU as he jumped 23' 10.25" in the long jump to be named allconference. Johnson was also a member of the third place 4x 100-meter relay team with Gerald Martin. Eric Joe and Kedrick Ford. They finished with a seasonal best time of 41.52. The Apps got a winning performance from the4x400-meter relay squadof Jamie Griggs, Jeff Waters. Allen Brooks and Joe. They clocked 3:15.34 to be named to the all-conference list. ASU Head Coach Al Fereshetian was pleased with the performances of his ath­ letes. "In general, we performed very well, and a lot of breakthroughs were made," Fereshetian said. "Jon Fullen was great and Linell Johnson has always come so close to winning a conference title but ended up short. We couldn't have done much to change the score, but we com­ peted well and set the tone for the future. VMI has a lot of seniors, and next year will be ASU's opportunity to get back to the top." Joe, David Ess, Steve Simandle, Mar­ tin and Lem Anderson provided depth for the Apps. Joe turned out an all-confer­ ence performance in the 400-meter race with a third place time of 48.13. Joe also finished fourth in the 200-meter competi­ tion with 21.88 and was a member of the 4x100 relay. Ess outdistanced East Tennessee State powerhouse runners to finish second in the 1,500-meter at 3:54.66 and third in the 800-meter at 1:54.23. Simandle took second in the 3,000meter steeplechase with a time of 9:16.81, a personal record by 28 seconds. He went on to finish sixth in the 5,000-meters with a time of 15:17.07. Martin ran with the 4x 100-meter relay team and took third in the 100-meters at 10.85.

"It (the injuries)didn't help our results, but I think it will help us in the long run," Moeller, who was forced to play at number two midway through the season after ASU lost its top two players, epito­ mized Appalachian's season with his per­ formance last weekend. Moeller played well, but was forced to play the number two seed, ETSU's Luis Gonzalez, in the first round. Gonzalez eventually finished second in the tourney. "I played well, but not well enough to beat him (Gonzalez). I got a tough draw and had to play the number-two seed and we had a real close match," Moeller said. Moeller and Bell both agreed that this year's experience, despite the disappoint­ ing results, will help the team next year. "We'll have a lot more experience, and my mental game will be tougher now that Bell said. "It will really help the individu­ als who got to play and it will definitely make us a much tougher team next year." Furman, after scoring individual cham­ pionships in six different flights, nipped East Tennessee State to win the tourna­ ment. The Paladins finished with 67points, barely enough to defeat ETSU's 66.

Here s my attempt: As I sit and think about all the activity that has mounded this year, it amazes me the year has come and gone so quickly. I ave so many people to thank.... Teresa, Sally—You both have provided so much fun and laughter to the taff. Teresa, your hard work in production and on the staff is proof of your edication to "The Appalachian." I wish you the best in working with the staff extyeareven if I can't spell your name right. Sally, from discussing dresses nhe latest movies we'd seen, I really enjoyed working with you, but most nportantly I enjoyed our friendship. Michelle, Tracy—Your contributions to the newspaper were significant, relied heavily on both of you to use sound judgment—and you never let me own. I wish you both the best. Michelle, best wishes on your upcoming larriage. Why are we in college? Most likely, we are here to receive an education which will eventually help us get a job. Our generation is on the fast track toward prosperity. College is a neccesary stop along the way to the big salaries. But college used to be more than a fueling station for career-bound graduates. Why do most students come to college? "A survey of entering freshmen, conducted by the Higher Education Research Institute, has shown a steady climb in the pro­ portion of students whose main reason for attending college is to make money— from 40.5 percent in 1970 to 76 percent in 1987," reported a "Phi Beta Kappa" article. The number of students who see college as an opportunity to develop a meaningful philosophy on life has plumetted in the last 20 years— from 83 percent to 39 percent. A career is very important and a necessity as the 21st century approaches. A philosophy on life and an under­ standing of what being human entails, however, is even more important. Many universities today are educating the intellect, but neglecting the human attributes found in the mind. Stu­ dents become computers. Each class consists of putting more information into the memory circuits. But the "computer-student" isn't ready for the outside world. is not the possession of information that matters most, but Shea (Muffin)—I mentioned before that Denise was one of the best staff Kisions 1 made—you were one of the others.

Good luck as Editor next ^ You earned that title, and I hope your year is as wonderful as mine has ten. And last but certainly not least, Mary Ann. You've been there so many I lost count in August. You've helped me achieve all the goals for myself and then some. You forced me to look at the big picture when 'dn t want to, and reeled me in when I needed to be set straight.

If you ever wondered whether or not you made a difference in me°ne s life-—don't give it a second thought—I'm living proof. mes f°r mc tion. In spite of all of these problems, I am optimistic about the future of our institu­ tion. This optimism is based in part, of course, on the expectation that the current economic problems are temporary and will give way to a more prosperous state economy. But as I have said on numerous public occasions, my optimism is an­ chored in my confidence that Appalachian's faculty and staff are the sort of dedicated anddetermined teachers, scholars and academic professionals who will simply not permit temporary adver­ sity to undo the work of decades. If Appalachian is to continue to fulfill its mission of providing excellence in its educational programs, while continuing to serve as a center of cultural and profes­ sional activity within the state and this region, we will require adequate funding by the legislature. Since our founding in 1899, Appala­ chian has been sensitive to the needs of society and has developed appropriate programs to meet those needs. In the pro­ cess, we have built a national reputation for academic quality. As I look to the future, we are clearly moving proactively to meet thechallenges of this decade.

Thanks for the surprise party. I bought the farm. Probability can't disprove evolution —James Hilton A broad-based education will fill the hollow graduates. An awakening of what it means to question and know "why" is needed. As Chancellor John Thomas said in his Editor's note: "US News and World Report" and "Phi Beta Kappa" contributed to this article. Bauman will be pursuing his masters degree in SouthCarolina next year. Educational Leadership is temporarily on hold because of the budget situation, this program will prepare senior-level school administrators for the world of practice. This program addresses the needs of the schools providing leaders who will be able to meet the multiplicity of challenges facing education in the 90's. As a result of our recent reexamination of our educational mission carried out at the behest of UNC President Spangler, we have already reported to the General Ad­ ministration that during the coming de­ cade we intend to explore the initiation of degree programs as diverse and exciting as a B.F.A. in Creative Writing and an M.S. in Computer Science. In response to North Carolina's growing need for pro­ fessionals in the allied health fields, we are in the process of considering what contributions Appalachian might be able to make toward a solution to that human and economic problem in the years to come. In short, the future I foresee for our university is decidedly a vibrant and dy­ namic one. It is easy to be optimistic about tomor­ row when you look at Appalachian today. Looking at what happens to our graduates once they leave here, we see a wonderful story unfolding. Each year the number of Appalachian graduates accepted into pres­ tigious programs at medical, law, engi­ neering and other graduate schools in­ creases. Another specific measurable ex­ ample is the accounting program in the College of Business. The number of Ap­ palachian graduates who pass the CPA exam on their first attempt far exceeds the state and national averages. The most recent figures supplied by the State Department of Education shows that more than 25 percent of North Carolina's administrators and 13 percent of the teach­ ers received at least one degree from Ap­ palachian. Of course the key to the quality of an Appalachian education is the caliber and dedication of our faculty. That is why it is imperative that the state provide us with the resources to remain competitive. Lack of state funding, while a major problem, causes us to seek other sources for support. Partnerships and alliances with the corporate sector have provided new opportunities. Recently the university an­ nounced an innovative, unique partner­ ship with Southern Bell and AT&T Net­ work systems. "Impact North Carolina: 21st Century Education" is a ten-year, distance-leam ing project that will beimple­ mented in public schools in a six-county area. The distance-learning system will be one of the first in the nation to deliver interactive-video, voice and data instruc­ tion through existing copper telephone lines, which are universally available. The service will allow schools access to the university resources and enable them to share resources among themselves. As I look toward the future I am mindful that part of our responsibility is to ensure a level of support services consistent with our quality academic program. Services and programs such as our psychological counseling services, health services, in­ tramural recreational opportunities and the Quinn Center provide much needed sup­ port for our students. Yet, it is important to remember that theseservices did not spring up overnight. We must be creative and visionary as we look to the future and assess the needs of future students and faculty. The people who live in and visit our beautiful mountain area are continually impressed by its natural beauty and our quality of life. Appalachian, through its aggressive and innovative recycling pro­ gram, has taken a leading role in ensuring that the next generation will be able to continue to enjoy the beauty and splendor. This past March the North Carolina Recycling Association presented its Re­ cycling Merit Award to Appalachian. In making the award, the university was cited for the large volume of material recycled during the past year, as well as its creative approach and educational activities to en­ courage recycling effortson campus. This past February, the "Recycling Update," the university's newsletter, received the Conservation Communications Award from the State and Federal Wildlife Fed­ eration. M any of us spend aconsiderable amount of time dreaming about the future, never stopping to realize that a little of it arrives every day. That is why I am optimistic when looking at Appalachian's future. We are prepared to meet the needs and face the challenges which lie ahead. This is our destiny today, just as it was 92 years ago. With the dedication, talent and enthusiasm of our students , faculty, staff and friends, Appalachian stands poised to continue to carry out its mission of academic excellence to all who seek it. Evolution articles generate heated attack Aid I couldn't let the year go by without thanking Peggy who helped me Mary Ann straight—you are a gem! i closing, I leave you with many, many thanks for making my senior year ^Pecial and these words: -ers rights of the heart. induction speech in 1979, "A quality, broad-based education gives the student an opportunity to appreciate the arts, music, literature, philosophy and history." Money may come as a result of these awakenings, and it may not. The purpose of these disciplines is not to make a business executive, a biochemist, a school teacher or an athlete. They are ingredients for making a well-rounded human. Business leaders today are looking for the graduates who can communicate comfortably with anyone. They want men and women of character. They want respon­ sible employees who value human relations more than the bottom line. CEOs from some of the largest companies in America want the most skilled workers, but also workers who are friendly, creative and warm. They want human beings, not shy, introverted robots. The liberal arts classes required before graduation should not be blown off as "stupid requirements." Phi­ losophy and religion, music, art, English and foreign languages all make the vital human connection needed to free us from narrow-minded ways of thinking. Don't think every new idea is right. The passing of time does not make today's knowledge better than yesterday's knowl­ edge. A liberated person has the ability to look at all ideas without a liberal or conservative bias and then choose those which are true; those which will lead to society's greatest welfare. If more students take advantage of these opportunities, graduates will no longer only be information carriers but will be responsible, mature men and women capable of handling the challenges ahead. Of course, don't forget to acquire the information needed to succeed in your career, but remember what is really important. Our education will not end when a diploma is hung on the wall. Learning is not an end in itself, it is a process. Through it we can open doors to greater enlightenment and happiness. Seize every opportunity to leam, rejoice in it, and use your knowledge to free others. The future looks great for ASU Tommy, Amanda—T hank you for sticking with iteven when the days gpt ' By DR.

Hollow men and women parade across the stage at graduation each year. The shell has been perfectly chis­ eled by assignments and grievous tests. The diploma boasts of accomplishments, and yet for many, the spirit is still that of a freshman. As Steven Muller, President of John Hopkins University put it, "Universities are turning out skilled barbarians." We must realize liberal arts and humanities courses are important tools for developing the whole person. The word "liberal"comes from the Latin "liberalis"—the free person as distinguished from the slave. The liberal arts classes should free students from false truths, prejudices, fears and doubts. They should teach about humanity and how we relate to each other. We learn how to use the key of liberal education to unshackle us from our false ideas and methodologies. No student should ever graduate as a slave to ignorance. One of the greatest enslaving forces inherent in each of us is"method." We have learned method and not content. Method is the way we do the things we do. Content is knowing why we do those things. Maybe method doesn't sound important, but let's look at an example. It has been documented that abusedchildren often grow up to be abusers of their own children. One "Los Angeles Times" article told of such a story. The mother, who had been abused throughout her life, would beat her son, even though she didn't want too. She would lock him in his room until she cooled off for fear she would hurt him. She was shackled by method. . Prejudice, fear, doubt and commonly accepted dogmas must be examined. We need to know why we do what we do, and not just throw upour hands and say, "that's just the way I am." Some have the method of accepting all authority without question. Others question all authority, no matter what. These are two more methods commonly held with no knowledge of why they are held. Both enslave us. To the Editor: I recently attended the Association of Southeastern Biologists conference held at ASU. On April 11, there were two articles in "The Appalachian" on creationism and evolution. The first article by Christopher L. Oates was an attempt to integrate creationist ideas and evolutionary theories. The ideas were interesting, and it is commendable that some accommodation of ideas be attempted, but some arguments Oates uses are fallacious. Oates uses, without naming it, the "Omphalos" argument— that God created the Universe (and Earth, as well as Adam and Eve) with the appearance of age. This argument was refuted many years ago, but continues to appear in one form or another today. What one has to accept with the Omphalos argument is that the "apparent" age is much greater than needed to make a functioning earth. As an example, there is no reason igneous rocks should be dated to various ages in the millions to billions of years—they would logically need be no older than the creation. To accept the Omphalos argument requires the acceptance of the idea that God deliberately created a world that has false appearance of great age—that God has tricked us. Few Christians would accept this position. Oates states that the greatest conflict is over the origin of humans. One evolutionary concept that has received some support is that clay crystals may have been a primary organizing nucleus for early chemical reactions leading to the origin of life and ultimately to us. Life from the "dust of the earth?" Yes, possibly. Perhaps there is not as much conflict between the Bible and evolu­ tionary theory as Oates or fundamental­ ist creationists would have us believe. The second article on the "myths and bias of evolution" by David Bauman contains several errors, but 1 will focus on the most egregious of them: false propositions that probably precludes the formation of proteins and that interme­ diates in the fossil record do not exist. The argument that probability precludes protein formation as used in the article is correct only if one is referring to a chance formation of a specific sequence of amino acids. However, the argument loses all force if one is referring to any sequence that has a function. Bauman states that only one combination is the right one for a protein. This is mislead­ ing to the argument. A specific function of a protein can be accomplished with several different amino acid sequences. This vastly improves the odds of a functional protein forming by chance (which may not have been the case entirely by some naturalistic scenarios). In addition, the early enzymes did not have to function with the efficiency seen in similar enzymes today, but only had to be slightly functional to "work" in a prebiotic world. This means precise amino acid sequence is unnecessary as a condition of formation and function for scientific studies of the origin of life. Bauman also states that in the fossil record, intermediary forms do not exist. This is incorrect. Numerous examples See LETTERS page 12 • �Ihe Annalarhjgti Thursday lytav ~> — /ooj Letters which the facility could be paid for if no additional state funds were allocated for the project.

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

It shows many things about the outward appearances that can changedue to smok­ ing such as; bum holes in clothes, smelly clothes and yellow teeth. Above her the copy reads, "Draggin' Lady (drag'en la'dejn. an otherwise at­ tractive girl who exhibits the dreadful signs of smoking shown below. Are you a draggin' lady?" Statistics show lungcancer spreads very quickly. It has been estimated that by the year 2000, lung cancer deaths may in­ crease to 2 million. During 1990 in North Carolina there were 4200 new cases of lung cancer re­ ported. According to the ACS, 36percent of these cases were localized survival rates. Many people are still getting lung cancer even though statistics show the number of people smoking is declin­ ing, said ACS. Smoking rates have been shown to first decline in men, then in women. See CANCER page 3 UNY students force cancellations at nine campuses In most emphatic and radical to some of the massive tuition announced nationwide for „ * students at at least nine cam*-*teCity University of New York , forced the cancellation of classes olc • ver buildings the second week by New York Gov. Mario to raise tuition by $500 per - lay off faculty and staff mems lash state aid by $400 million, S students at one (CUNY) campus—City College— took over five buildings. At the same time, students at Borough of Manhattan Community College, Lehman College, Hunter College, Bronx Community College, Hostos Community College, New York City Technical Col­ lege and Brooklyn College chained and barricaded themselves inside administra­ tion and academic buildings. "They can't ignore this," said Rafael Alvarez, president of City College's Day Student Government. Like those at CUNY, students in at least a dozen states may be facing tuition hikes of more than 10 percent next fall. In early April, for example, Virginia community college students, who already have faced two tuition hikes this term, learned they will have to endure a 17.5 percent jump. The nine-campus Univer­ sity of California system will increase its fees by 40 percent. In mid-March, trustees of one of the largest college systems in the United States—the 19-campus California State University system—announced they were raising fees by 20 percent for next fall. The State University of New York, which is the biggest system in the land, will cost students 60 percent more next year, while Massachusetts Gov. William Weld in February imposed yet another tuition hike—the fifth in two years—on public campus students in his state. All of hikes, of course, were prompted by the budget emergencies in at least 20 states, where the recession has dramati­ cally decreased the amount of tax money local governments have collected. As a result, the state governments have less money to spend on everything from roads to schools. Left with less money from their states, public colleges must then slash their own spending and raise money from other sources such as students. Students, on the other hand, pro­ test they can ill afford to pay more for college. Cal State'sfee hike may keep 10,000 to 43,000 students from enrolling next fall, the California Postsecondary Education Commission and state Assembly Com­ mittee on Higher Education estimated April 8. "What (Cuomo) is doing is closing the doors to access for thousands of students in the CUNY system," City College's Alvarez maintained. "If students can't make it at CUNY, where else can they go?"CUNYChancellor W. Ann Reynolds agreed. ^ ow Row Your Car Recession causes problems for grads Lingering economic hardships continue to affect nationwide job market Appalachian Pholo by R»i*WI (UUUnk LIFE OFFICE AND PARKING LOT FLOODED: Sunday >onc Was hit with almost an inch of rain in one hour.

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

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

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

Where are most Appalachian students headed after exams? Everywhere and anywhere is the answer. The choices students make for summer are as diverse as the students themselves. From mission work to travel in Eu­ rope, students are taking advantage of all opportu­ nities.

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

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

Horoscopes for April 30-May 15 General Tendencies—The intellectual drive starts up in full force just in time for final papers and exams. Energy levels will be high during the next two weeks, and will aid in beginning new projects, regenerating oneself and making the end of the semester fairly active and exciting. Travel, romance and developing one's spirituality will highlight this period and carry over into summer. Aries (March 21-April 20)—As you go charg­ ing through this period you will leave people and situations around you in disarray. Relationships will become strained because of your need to run, breathe and think, away from others. Be careful, though, not to push them away too hard or you might lose them.

As an earth sign you need to stabilize your ;nT.r spirit so that your powars of concentration and expression can be fully utilized. It is a good time to put summer finances and travel plans into perspective. Be careful of overactivity and becom­ ing a spendthrift because you will burn yourself out before you reach the peak of the new cycle of experiences that is in store for you in the future. Gemini (May 21-June 20) —Spending your time wisely is going to be a difficult task during this period. It is best to keep time aside to spend with close friends and family, while completing what needs to be done. Try not to spread yourself too thin. It is also a good time to work with the integration of your conscious and unconscious mind. Guard against being too bold in speech and acting like a know-it-all, as well as misrepresent­ ing your ideas.

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

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

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

FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON In recent months the debate over abortion rights has taken on a new and rather disturbing trend. As if the issue were not already divisive enough for the American people, it has now spread, and the wounds may be cutting deeper. Certain tactics being used by the pro-choice side have been extreme and irresponsible. When the state assembly of Utah recently passed a measure aimed at restricting a woman's right to an abortion, feminist groups from around the country began talking about boycotting Utah's tourist industry. The idea is to devastate the state's economy and force the legislators to repeal the law. Certainly the statute in question isone that all but the most ardentpro-lifer would doubt the wisdom of. One provision of the law makes it possible for a doctor to face the death penalty if he or she performs an abortion on a patient. Moderate judgement was not to be found in the Utah assembly the day this statute passed. However, in spite of the dubiousness of this law, the methods employed by pro-choice forces to counter it were not called for. To begin with, the purpose of a boycott would be to destroy the economic fabric of Utah. In the process, many innocent people would also be hurt. The members of the tourist industry could lose everything they have. Many of these people may even be pro-choice. Their livelihoods could be vicious­ ly snatched away from them. Even small children of the state could be hurt This would not be an effective way for the pro-choice movement to win friends in Utah. A better way to accomplish their goals would be to lobby legislators or Utah's governor. They could chal­ lenge the issue in court or find some other ways to convince Utah to re-think its position. But the economic boycott sets a dangerous precedent. This could become a trend on many issues and could be used against all states. Outsiders who decide that a particular law in North Carolina is not what they approve of could take steps to hurt our already ailing economy. The pro-choice move­ ment has already threatened to use similar tactics in Louisiana and Idaho. In the long run, this will probably only cause resentment of the pro-choice movement in these states and the resentment may spread. This would be particularly disturbing because evidence shows that nationwide the pro-choice movement is constantly gain­ ing momentum.It would be ironic if they shot themselves in the foot with these radical tactics. It would also be unfortunate that the greatest damage would be that a fundamental right women now enjoy could be a casualty of their efforts. The movement has also taken an irresponsible posi­ tion toward illegitimateabortion clinics. In 39 states there are no laws that regulate abortion clinics, such as validat­ ing a doctor's credentials or insuring they have proper medical supplies or follow proper medical procedures. As a result, many women have been hurt or killed due to incompetence of people performing abortions on them. Nevertheless, abortion rights groups are reluctant to expose them to women and they vehemently oppose any consideration of regulating them. The argument they use is that regulations of any kind would be used by the pro-life movement to eventually take away a woman's right to an abortion. This rhetoric is remarkably similar to what the National Rifle Associa­ tion has used to justify its opposition to any reasonable gun regulation for so many years. Just as the NRA is losing credibility with Americans, Planned Parenthood runs the same risk if they continue to let dangerous abortion clinics be protected by opposing sensible stan­ dards for them. Furthermore,many women could be their future vic­ tims if these groups refuse to make information on these clinics public. One of the most popular pro-choice slo­ gans is "Keep abortion safe and legal." As long as clinics like these are unregulated, abortion will be anything but safe. The biggest shame of all this is the pro-choice move­ ment could slowly begin to lose itscredibility at a crucial juncture in thedebate. A more responsible effort by these groups would do much more to safeguard the rights they are fighting for. Zen and the low art of garbage collection Stereotypes come crashing down when analyzing what "happiness" is and who has it By CHRISTOPHER OATES Appalachian Staff Writer I had the pleasure recently to ride along with a gentleman who has one of the least glamorous jobs imaginable:road side trash collector. As I am about to graduate with my BSBA degree and ready to embark upon a life of starched white collars and silk ties,I felt I would be far removed from the typeof life this man lives. However, 45 trash cans and 195 miles later, I found out our lives, though obviously different, were performing relatively the same functions for us both. Since his job duties consist of little more than driving a designated route and emptying the roadside garbage cans, what exactly he did in the course of the day carries little interest. His attitudes toward his job and his life, however, were enough to keepmy interest for theentire 8 hours of his working day. For reasons of his own, the DOT worker wished to remain name­ less and is thus referred to in this article as Treavor. I asked Treavor a list of completely unoriginal questions expecting to get completely unoriginal answers. I was surprised. Treavor chose to work for the DOT so he could work outside. He took a tremendous cut in pay by leaving his job working in a textile mill in a neighbor­ ing town. He found his job there both frustrating and unrewarding. "I had to spend 8 hours a day working somewhere, I thought that I ought to be doing some­ thing I like," said Treavor of his decision. Having grown up in a white collar family, my ideas of the blue collar sector was that work was only a means to an end and not the end itself. Reality againslapped the labeT'Naive" on my forehead when I probed the ques­ tion of ambition. It seems that Treavor has spent the last ten years saving for the construction of a house, of his design and chosen location, that is to be built by July of this year. This came through care­ ful planning, considering interest rates and the investment in credit union CDs and money market accounts. This, in itself, blew me away. The only money I have saved in the past five years is the five-dollar bill that got washed in a pair of pants that I have not worn since last spring. I kept reminding myself, I will make so much more money in a shorter period of time. Wrong again. I cannot say exactly how much Treavor makes per year, but with his DOT salary (which includes four full weeks of paid vacation, excellent re­ tirement, health and life insurance, and benefits like timeoff whenever he wants it with little or no notice), and the income from his taxidermy business on the side, he makes a lot more than the average college student will for several years. This, of course, does not include the $25,000 he did not have to spend on five years of college that I did, nor does it include the $75,000+ that I lost in opportunity cost by not having worked a full-time job those five years (5 x $15,000). Having had my fill of the discussion of ambition, I found myself looking at the job itself. Obviously there are advantages of being a pharmaceutical sales represen­ tative over collecting trash, but were they that significant? Treavor burst my bubble again. Number one, heconsiders his job to be of much lower stress level than that of being a college student (he briefly at­ tended Western Carolina University). I have been assured by recruiters that the stress in college is nothing compared to being a sales representative. He can also leave his job in the truck at the end of the day. I wonder exactly how many stock­ brokers can say that of their jobs? At lunch, which was the best meal I have eaten inmonths, Idecided to take out all the stops. I asked about Treavor's per­ sonal goals and if the job helped fulfill any of these. I was informed that Treavor is a hunter anda fisherman, a real outdoorsman, who finds it rewarding to help keep the environment clean in his work. It is dis­ couraging for him to find household gar­ bage in the cans that are designated for traveler's use only, but he is still satisfied in the thought that he contributes to a healthier roadside environment. Strike three, I'm out I spent a great deal of the rest of that afternoon quietly contemplating the uni­ versal implicationsof a man satisfied with his life. This man goes home in the after­ noon in his Japanese sports car to a house of his own design where he has his boat and taxidermy workshop (a perfect retire­ ment plan) to keep him occupied until he wants to go to sleep, and does so, without the pressures of the job keeping him up all night. Poor guy, huh? Even with a tall, cool Beck's, my arro­ gance was hard to swallow. I do not even care to think about what business politics I will face or what a good recession could do to my job security. I have enough to worry about with the thoughts of sleepless nights and the bootlicking duties I am sure to face in my job that Treavor does not even consider in his. I finally learned what my grandfather. Pappy Lee, always tried to teach me through example: It does not matter what you do, justbe happy doing it. Just the same, I do not plan to collect trash all my life, because a salesman I must be, but I will remember the man with the lowliest of jobs, and what he has taught me. Editor's note:Oates is a senior major­ ing in management. Why is hospitality management suffering? Masher films FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON Dying of thirst in sea of opportunity To the Editor: lllut U III ft H — f you about the time I tosf this! In reference to the article on the hospitality internship at ASU, the following is submitted: 1. The internship in Hawaii last year, as stated, was pretty much a fiasco set up by a hospitality program professor in the college of business and pretty much reflected the current status of the program. No direction and floating on a sea of disarray with no captain. 2. As to Dr. Goddard's comment regarding the busing of tables. He is absolutely right in that they should not hns tables for the entjrejntemship/nie should, however, be required to do so at some time as part of a comprehensive program covering all aspects of the business to include waiting on tables, food prep, dish Washing, etc. In the hospitality program there are no specific requirements set down for a hospitality internship, nor has an attempt been made to design one over the past six years. 3. Broyhill Inn, a physical part of ASU, has had a comprehensive internship set up covering all aspects of operating a full service hotel for five years. The college of business has chosen not to utilize this in-house program, but rather has sent interns everywhere but Broyhill Inn. In the past five years we have had approximately 16 interns, 10 of whom participated the year of its inception. I just happened to be teaching hotel operations during that time. 4. The hospitality program at ASU, if it is retained, needs a total revamping to accommodate the needs of the industry and the future requirements of the students—not the faculty and adminis­ tration who apparently are not too well versed on the hospitality industry nor desirous of learning its desires. 5. As a reflection on the industry's opinion of the program, a dinner was recently held at the Broyhill Inn for the industry representatives and conducted by the hospitality students with no faculty advisor. This dinner is a yearly event and was originally intended to impress the industry with the efficiency of our program. This year, of the approximate 60 attendees, there were a maximum of four industry representa­ tives present, and one of these was a parent of one of the students. Most of the attendees were ASU personnel. This indicates the respect held for the program by the industry in our own state. In closing , if the Ka'anapali Hotel is desirous of providing an internship beneficial to the students, then the students should be given credit for same and not denied it based on the whim of the administration who have chosen not to set up any guidelines for the students to refer to. John Kettenhofen,CHA Broyhill Inn SAC funding and your future bills To the Editor: The more I find out about the fundings of the proposed ASU Student Activity Center, the more it becomes obvious the Appalachian students are being forced quite unfairly to bear the burden for construction of the athletic coliseum. Last week I discovered that charging students for a basketball arena is unprecedented for the North Carolina university system. Western Carolina built the Ramsey Center completely from state funds. Carolina built the Dean Dome exclusively from donations. East Carolina plans to build their arena also from donations. N.C. State will build the Centennial Sports Complex from state and donated funds. Not one dime of the student funds will go to any of these facilities. To get up close and personal with what you as a student will pay for the questionable privilege of looking at an average of 7,000 empty seats at basketball games and spending twice as long at combined graduations, between $10 and $20 million of the cost will be yours. Admittedly, the $20 million may not materialize, but according to Provost Harvey Durham, that is an option being considered in case the legislature doesn't have the money for its share. The plan is to charge each full-time student $110 per year until the facility is paid for. If you are an entering freshman and you take an average length of time to graduate, you will pay $550. This week I discovered another disturbing aspect of the SAC funding. While the university plans to charge each student $55 in fees this fall for the SAC, it presently has no authority to do so. According to sources in the UNC General Administration, unless the state �y V The Appalachian THe^ Aprif ?f1 ^ Letters But have you been told you might nol have to pay? No!

The selection process will begin in the high school, with the guidance counsel­ ors, who will choose a specified number of applicants. This group will then be sent to the ParentTeacher Association for further evaluation and elimination. Final selection will be decided within the ASU Senate Community Affairs Com­ mittee. "We want it to be a community schol­ arship based on merit, but we want to give it to someone who really needs it," said Schmotzer. Although there was some opposition concerning the possibility of the recipient taking the scholarship money to another university, the Senate decided to pass the bill as it stands. "This is a gift.

The Senate also passed a bill, SB 024024, which will increase the safety of ASU students while traveling through campus. The changes are proposed in recogni­ tion of the problems observed by Senate members on a recent Safety Walk. If the bill is successful, more speed bumps and stops signs will soon be installed around campus. In other business, the Senate approved SB 024-026, which will reinstate the old policy of placing a student's post office box number in the student directory.

The Se- nior Committee narrowed thesuggestions down to four and displayed them in the Pub. Seniors were then asked to vote on one. According to Senior Committee class gift chairman, Kevin Patton, the project is in need of capital so that construction can begin. During the phone-a-thon seniors were called and asked to pledge $150 over a five-year period, with the initial pay­ ment being $10. Those who paid this initial payment were given lucite paperweights bearing the class gift emblem. Names of seniors who fulfill the full amount will be dis- surveyors Plan Site played on a bronze plaque which will be located in the student union. Although there is no definite date for construction to begin, the gift will be completed and dedicated in 1996, at the five-year reunion. In an effort to contact all the seniors, 470 seniors gave "yes" pledges, another 500seniors said they could possibly make this pledge, and 1,200 seniors were not reached. "It's not too late to pledge to the class gift. If you didn't say yes, or have not responded yet, we need your support to make this a success." Patton said. Letters are being sent out to those se­ niors who have not yet paid their initial pledge reminding them to please pay this before graduation. Those who are interested in contribut­ ing can come by the third floor of Founders Hall or can mail a check to the Alumni Development office. After graduation the Alumni Development office will be send­ ing out reminders for the remaining parts of the pledge. The program is set up so this year's initial pledge of $10 will be increased to $20 the second year, $30 the third, $40 the fourth and a final payment of $50 the fifth year. Senior Kimberley Cox, had this to say about the gift: "The alumni are the future of this institution and if we don't keep it up who will?

Without the helpof the senior class this project would never have been possible, Patton said. "We, as the Senior Committee want to thank everyone who has supported the class gift," he added. Cuts in library funding and increases in book and journal prices led Belk Library to determine how to better improve its existing services despite decreases in its budget. The idea was to randomly survey 600 people during the week of March 18-24 to determine patron satisfaction with the li­ brary. Over 67 percent of the respondents said they were satisfied with the library ser­ vices offered, compared to 56 percent who were satisfied with library materials, according to Bede Mitchell, associate li­ brarian for public services. While Mitchell said the number of sur­ veys returned was lower than anticipated, he said the questionnaire "has helped us identify things we want to improve on and has given positive feedback to our staff members who don't always get positive reinforcement." The library was prompted to do the survey because "we wanted to get more systematic feedback from our patrons," Mitchell said. The two general areas the questions evaluated were the library collections and the services offered. "We found that while there were ex­ ceptions that the staff was rated as being very helpful," Mitchell said. However, most written comments dealing with li­ brary materials"related to frustration over the lack of up-to-date materials in desired subjects." According toMitchell, a major concern of patrons was the noise level in the li­ brary, especially at night. "People who used the library in the evenings tended to be less satisfied than people who used the library at other times of the day," M itchell said. Fewer staff members in the evening hours also led students to have more probSee LIBRARY page 2 Watauga Hunger Coalition hosts CROP Walk 10-Kilometer walk to raise money for fight against global and local hunger By THOMAS RIGGINS Appalachian News Editor This Saturday volunteers will be walk­ ing 10 kilometers as a visible sign that people want to help eliminate global and local hunger. The Watauga County Hunger Coali­ tion is hosting the annual CROP Walk. Joan Chater, delta coordinator for the Hunger Coalition, said, "The 10-kilome­ ter walk signifies how far many people around the world must walk for water every day." C ROP walk issponsored by the Church World Service. According to Chater, 25 percent of the money raised comes back to Watauga County, the rest goes to Church World Service projects around the world. This year marks the seventeenth CROP Walk and the Watauga walk is the oldest in N.C., raising a total of $315,000, said Chater. "Last year 245 volunteers participated in pouring rain and raised $12,000," said Chater. The volunteers raise money through pledges earned for kilometers walked. Chater said people can also run during the event.

(CPS)—Students soon may get their college loans a bit faster, federal officials say. In a major "revamping" of all student aid programs, the U.S. Department of Education said it would place one admin­ istrator in charge of all its loan programs, recognize the records for current loans and reduce the number of for-profit schools taking part in the program. Education department Spokesman Rodger Murphey said students would see few changes in their annual loan routines. "It will, in fact, speed up the process," Murphey said. "It will only get better and better." Education Secretary Lamar Alexander announced the measures after a joint fed­ eral task force released a report highly critical of the department's management of the aid programs. "The Department of Education ac­ knowledged that its managerial practices contributed to high loan default rates, as well as fraud and abuse in the program," the report stated. By the end of 1991, there will be more than $55 billion in outstanding loans and $2.7 billion in loan defaults. Alexander said he acted to change the program once he read the report. "I am deeply troubled by the report's findings," he told reporters. "The report does a thoughtful job in pinpointing thedepartment's management problems and providing a blueprint for action. We will implement the report's recommendations," Alexander said. These recommendations include: •Regularly reviewing and auditing stu­ dent loans. •Ensuring the availability of student loans by reacting early to signs of trouble at loan guarantee agencies. The depart­ ment failed to intervene in the collapse last year of the Higher Education Assis­ tance Fund, which was the nation's larg­ est insurer of student loans. •Working with school accreditation agencies to reduce the number of forprofit schools eligible for the student aid program. The default rate at these schools is 27 percent, the report says. •Reorganizing the Guaranteed Student Loan records so the General Accounting Offic e can properly audit the program. The G AO recently declared the recordsof the loan program were so disorganized that a proper audit was impossible. •Consolidating all studentprograms un­ der one administrator, in this case Deputy Assistant Secretary Michael J. Farrell. "We would be generally supportive of at least most of those efforts," said Fritz Elmendorf of the Consumer Bankers As­ sociation, a commercial bankers' group that regularly blasts the way federal stu­ dent loans are made. "We have called for most of these in the past." Budget Director Richard Darman praised the report and the department's decision to clean its own house.

Wendy .ays Adina, a Southern belle and Joe Buckner plays Nemorino, her love-struck suitor. The cast includes a Confederate sol­ dier, a haughty Southern belle and a less than scrupulous medicine man. What sounds like a re-make of "Gone With the Wind" is really the ASU Opera Workshop's presentation of Donizetti's "Elixir of Love." Originally set in a rural Italian village during the late 1800s, opera workshop director Dr. Joseph Amaya, Associate Professor of Music, has the opera set in America after the civil war. "Setting the opera in the old south literally brings the opera closer to home," Amaya said. "I think it makes the opera easier to relate to. We're not doing some­ thing a la Peter Sellars," he said. The opera's characters includea capri­ cious Southern landowner, Adina, who is modeled after Scarlett O'Hara and is played by graduate student Wendy Jones and junior music education major Beverly Lloyd.She is courted by a pomp­ ous Confederate soldier, Belcore, who is played by Jim Bumgardner, and by a love-struck suitor, Nemorino, played by senior Joe Buckner and junior Pharris Cooper. Nemorino, desperate for Adina's love, seeks the help of a love potion eagerly supplied by Dulcamara, a traveling medi­ cine man played by senior John Mabeand sophomore Craig Phillips.

I asked them J came up with their name."From an early morning phone call. 'Wake up, this is the Sex Police. You're under ar­ rest,"' said William "Jay" Widenhouse who plays trumpet and sings back-up vo­ cals. Guitarist John Plymouth was more serious. "Actually, it was from a guitarist in a band I used to play with—The Pres­ sure Boys. He wrote a song called Sex Police. We just took it from that." My curiosity piqued. I wondered how they got together. Norwood Cheek, bass player and lead vocalist, said, "We knew of each other from other bands. We just got together and decided it was a good thing to do." John added, "We were all at the movie 'To Kill A Mockingbird' and realized wewere all sitting together.That's when we decided." The Sex Police have a sound all their own. John described itas, "Chicago meets Kiss and Devo with some B-52's added in." Norwood added, "Crazy, high en­ ergy, melodic rock-n-roll." But drummer Shoney Maxwell had my favorite answer, "Obnoxious and painful. Soul metal with apinchof disco."Trombonist and backup vocalist Rob Jones was indecisive. "Sort of funky, sort of rocky, and sometimes heavy," he said. Jay took the surrealistic view—"tangential absurdity." Individually the band members have each played for about 10 years, except John who has only played guitar for three years. As a band, they have only played together for two years. So where do they get the ideas for their songs? "All over. No particular places," John said. And what about the inspiration behind the songs "Ten Thousand Monkeyson the Beach" and "Jump On That Elevator?" Norwood said,"'TenThousand Monkeys' is a true story. It's about a friend of mine who came across some monkeys on the beach. The song is about getting pumped, getting adrenaline from just living. The more you experience, the more you know. I don't know about 'Elevator."' Finally, I wondered what they thought the future held as far as the band was concerned. John came back with a cre­ ative answer. "Let's see. One hundred thousand is a gold record. Two thousand is a plastic record; five thousand is a cardboard; ten thousand is a velcro record..." Rob said that he'd like to put out a Rob Jones jazz album."Someday there will be one," he says. Jay summed it up. "Some people try to sell records; some propogate good music. We want to propogate good music." I have to admit. The Sex Police have a very unique style, a style that adds effect and emphasis to the music. It is very rare that a band will utilize a horn section, but the trombone and trumpet are certainly an integral part. The Sex Police are definitely worth seeing again, and I look forward to their return.

"I'll put this show up against any other university show." According toDr. Marianne Suggs, chair of the art department, over 396 works were submitted for review.Students were allowed to enter as many as four pieces in the competition Art department faculty members then graded the works on a scale of one to five. Those receiving the highest cumulative score from each class won the scholar­ ships. Students who entered multiple pieces had a better chance of accumulat­ ing more points to win. "The award is for someone who is pro­ ductive and consistent," Pilchard said. The freshman award of $150 went to David Reep. Two sophomore awards of $150 each were given to Elizabeth Fieri and Melissa Sofley.

He simply gets the hots for her at first sight It's all physical. This becomes the make up for the whole story. Two human beings with the hots for each other. As far as human beings are concerned, the characters of Charley and Vikki are very shallow. Charley is a simple million­ aire playboy, spoiled rotten from the in­ heritance of his father's toothpaste busi­ ness. Baldwin's character is completely opposite from the intellectual heplayed in "Hunt for Red October." In "The Marry­ ing Man." set in the early 1950s, Charley' s life revolves around "catching" Vikki. It was difficult to find Charley Pearl likable due to his obsessive behavior to "get" Vikki Anderson and to ease his lust for her. He has always been spoiled and wants what he desires, not what he needs. Vikki Anderson is virtually the same character Basinger always seems to play. Compared to her roles in "Batman" and "Blind Date," she is the same sexy, screaming half-dressed woman with little moral strength. She hasgot the screaming and the grunting sound down pat. Can we please see something more, like some work on her singing and a little reality? I can't say her singing was too bad, since I'm no professional. But it was ob­ vious she did a sloppy job of lip-synching to her own pre-recorded voice. The only real comedy in this film was depicted by other leading characters. The dialogue of the narration gave the film some humor. The narrator (comic Paul Reiser of "My Two Dads") also played a leading character in the film. Reiser and Fisher Stevens play vital roles that make up most of the comical footage in the film, along with two other characters. These four men are the life-long friends of Charley Pearl. "The Marrying Man" fell short of hav­ ing any specifically romantic scenes, but it had plenty of good oT sex. While the sex scenes had no nudity, they were extremely suggestive and al­ most nauseating. To you movie "goers," if you're a die­ hard fan of Alec Baldwin or of Kim Basinger, especially her, go see it; it's worth the bucks. If not, it's a matinee movie—go see it during the day. Editor's note: "The Marrying Man" is rated R and playsdaily at the New Market Cinema. wammwmsmmim Patterson submitted four pieces for re­ view, including a humorous booklet she completed for a graphic design class on the history of the toilet. "It has a pop-up outhouse and some other neat stuff in it," Patterson said. "It was meant to be humorous, and I had a lot of fun with it." A floating award was given to Larissa Lewis for accumulating the next highest number of points. Merchandise awards were given to senior Carolyn Long by Purveyors and freshman Brian Cummings by Boone Drugs. Dave Roberson, director of studentprograms, gave a purchase award of $250 to Nancy Lewis. Her work will beon perma­ nent display in the Student Union as part of the Appalachian Artists Collection.

"They (members of the selection com­ mittee) have selected an exhibition that truly reflects the energetic dimension of this department and the art potential which abounds in Wey Hall," Dr. Marianne Suggs, chair of the art depart­ ment, said. According to Suggs, the jurors consid­ ered composition, creativity and technique during the selection process. "Above and beyond thesespecific concerns, our jurors looked for works which suggested a sen­ sitivity on the student's part for the selec­ tion process itself, works which might indicate an aesthetic awareness and matu­ rity," Suggs said.

After Brooks under­ went knee surgery in 1987 and an outdoor rebuilding season, former ASU men's Head Coach Bob Pollockrecruited Brooks. An interdisciplinary studies major. Brooks has been a captain two of the three years he has been a part of the Appala­ chian State track program. Brooks is a three-time Southern Conference Cham­ pion and an eight-time all-conference se­ lection as well as a team MVP. Brooks holds the indoor 800-meter run record for ASU with a 1:50.37 clocking and is the second best in the event outdoors at 1:50.83. Brooks is also ranked second all time in the400-meter intermediate hurdles with his time of 50.70, a time that made him the only Southern Conference athlete to automatically qualify for the NCAA Nationals to be held in Eugene, Ore. at the end of May. "Qualifying for the nationals is one of Afiptltchkm Photo by Kurt Want HE HIGH HURDLES: ASU's Allen Brooks clears the hurdles along with the biggestgoals for me this year," Brooks inate Kedrick Ford in the 110-meter high hurdles Saturday at the Mountaineer said. "This is something that I have tried IkClassic. to accomplish over the past two years and last year I missed the automatic qualifica­ tion by thirteen-hundredths of a second. All summer long I thought about how long thirteen-hundredths of a second was. I just still can not believe it. It's incred­ ible." After nationals and graduation, Brooks plans on competing in various track meets, and he hopes to qualify for the Olympic Festival. Brooks said that he is consider­ ing graduate school and working with YMCAs. Brooks recognized athletics as the im­ mediate cause formany aspects of his life. "I feel that being involved with athlet­ ics has required me to manage my time, given me an immediate social group, a source of friends and a support group," Brooks said. "Sometimes track has been a haven, a place for me to let out my frustra­ tions. Athletics has also given me the opportunity to receive an education. "There has never been a negative as­ pect of track because it is a talent I have been blessed with and I feel that I must give hard work in return." Brooks cited the Southern Conference titles that App State has captured as being one of the highlights of his track career. "The team aspect stands out," he said. "They have always been behind me 100 percent and without someone there to practice with and offer support, I could have never been so successful." Brooks has been nominated for the Western Carolina Sports Award, which See BROOKS page 6 AflpatecMan Photo by Kurt Wart IN BETWEEN EVENTS: ASU's Allen Brooks waits for the start of the 400-meter intermediate hurdles after completing the 110-meter high hurdles.

The club was hampered by a lack of equipment, experience and players. A complete Ultimate Frisbee team consists See OOZEBALL page 6 Netters net two wins Freshman beats nationally ranked foe By WILL ROTHSCHILD Appalachian Staff Writer Since losing its top two players for the remainder of the season three weeks ago, Appalachian State's men's tennis team has regrouped and has played solid tennis during the last stretch of the year. Head Coach Mike Kemodle's squad won two matches last week and received excellent play from numbeT one seed Bill Plautz last weekend. Plautz, who was thrust into the top position after Warren Rand suffered a knee injury at Wake Forest three weeks ago, won three straight matches in the span of five days. Last Wednesday Plautz beat the number one seed from LeesMcRae College in an ASU match victory. On Saturday, Plautz whipped the topseed from Virginia Military in another Appala­ chian victory. However, the highlight for Plautz came on Sunday when he knocked off Rob Webster, the top seed for The Citadel. According to Kemodle,Webster is ranked in the top 15 of the NCAA in the region and "has been one of the best players in the Southern Conference throughout his four-year career." "Bill played incredible tennis, and it was a great win for him," Kemodle said. The fact that Plautz has been able to up his play during the last part of the season bodes well for the Mountaineers in this weekend's Southern Conference Tournament. Plautz's play is a microcosm of just how much ASU has improved this spring, and especially during the last half of the season. The level of play has improved so much that it leaves Appalachian wonder­ ing what could have been had everyone Appslschisn Photo by Scott Smpao been able to participate. Yjopp TWO: Freshman J.C.

Moeller paired with new number one seed Bill Plautz to win a double's match against Lees-McRac last Thursday. could challengeThe Citadel and Western Carolina," Kemodle said."And, if we had everyone healthy, who knows? We lost to Western 8-1, but five of those losses were three-set matches. If a couple of these three-setters swing the other way, it's a new match. With all our players healthy, who knows what could have happened?" East Tennessee State and Furman should challenge for the conference title this weekend, with the University of Ten­ nessee at Chattanooga expected to take third. Besides Plautz, Kemodle pointed to the play of two other Mountaineers as im­ pressive during recent weeks. "Heath Marston has played real well in doubles and singles," Kemodle said. "He has come on real strong and has done a great job for us. "Also, we brought in Dave Pharr after all the injuries to play in the sixth seed, and I have been real impressed with how he's played. He hasn't played competi­ tively in two years, but he has played real well and has had a couple of matches that were real close. I think he's been a real positive, stabilizing influence for our team." Despite the immediate downside to losing his top two players for the season, Kemodle remains optimistic. He pointed out that, in the long run, the crisis will be a positive influence on his young team. "I think that the guys have put out a real good effort," Kemodle said. "They have all done an outstanding job in tough cir­ cumstances, and this year's learning ex­ perience is starting to pay dividends that will continue to help us down the road. We've told them that we aren't so much concerned whether they win or lose, but we just want a 100 percent effort from them, and I think they have done that. If the good results come, then that is even better." I �/ - -Ihe.

Over 83 percent of the students surveyed for a recent study ated that they felt the inclusion of the box numbers would be beneficial to u<Sents. omgratulations, SGA. Passing legislation like this is a good way to let udeaits know that their input is valuable.

The shocking truth." Check-out line tabloids hit us with titles like theseeveryday. Americanseat them up. These tabloids lead the list of top magazines read by our nation. We love reading the latest gossip and lies about celeb­ rities. Kitty Kelly's book on the Reagans sure fits the bill. Filled with lies and juicy, raunchy tid-bits of half-truths, Kelly's oversized exercise in yellow journalism enjoys great success in today's bookstores. Kelly is lying in order to make money.The end, to her, justifies the means. But what if the "CharlotteObserver" lied in order to sell more papers? "Bush to divorce First Lady," would empty the newsstands for sure. We, how­ ever, would be offended. We trust the newspaper to report the truth. We demand honesty. But why the double standard? Almost everyone lies, but we don't want others to lie to us. Honesty has become as old as Captain Kangaroo. Today, the situation dictates the truth, not an inner voice saying, 'Tell the truth. They're trusting you." Surveys and statistics from around America show the attitude toward honesty in today's business and educa­ tion community. Let's start with the savings and loan scandal. How many lies were told during this situation? Probably more than 10. But lying is"OK," isn't it? Well, you can answer that question while both of us pay off the results of these little untruths. How many billion dollars was it? I lost count It seems if lying will earn money, we have no problem in doing it. Where are the men and women who don't have a price?Not many of them are making their way into the leadership positions of America. In fact, the next generation looks extremely unpromising. The Josephson Institute of Ethics recently released its report on the ethics of American youth. They concluded, without a doubt, today's young people "have severed themselves from the traditional moral anchors of Ameri­ can society— honesty, respect for others, personal re­ sponsibility and civic duty." The founder of the Marina del Rey, Calif, institute, Michael Josephson, writes of a segment of the young adult population he calls the "I-Deserve-Its," or "IDIs." These young adults have an "IDI-ology" that is "excep­ tionally and dangerously self-centered,preoccupied with personal needs, wants, don't-wants and rights." "Thus, IDIs are more likely to lie, cheat and engage in irrespon­ sible behavior when it suits their purposes." Are these suitable leaders for our country? Another survey published by The Pinnacle Group, an international public relations firm, showed some dis­ tressing statistics. They surveyed 1,093 American high school students and here's what they found: 59 per­ cent would involve themselves in an illegaldeal generat­ ing $10 million in profit, even if they got caught and received probation; 67 percent would cheat on expense reports; 66 percent would lie to achieve a business objective; 36 percent would plagiarize to pass an exami­ nation. Are we any different? Lying to teachers about doctor appointments in order to go out on the parkway. Telling employers you have a legitimate reason for leaving town, just to get to the beach early. Lying to parents, roommates and friends. How many people have padded their re­ sumes with bogus accomplishments? It seems like we've learned this habit from those wc. respect. Parents call in sick when they're really going fishing. Kids are told to lie to callers about whether their dad is home or not. Income taxes are prime areas for family dishonesty. In one survey of Americans 18 and older, almost 1 in 4 admitted being dishonest on tax returns. One generally accepted dollar figure of this loss in government revenue is $100 billion each year. What is a society of liars breeding? Cynicism is one result. We begin believing we can't get ahead without lying. The shortcut is now the main thoroughfare. Can't run fast enough? Take drugs to go faster. Others do. Going to lose the big contract? Offer a bribe. The other company is. Another result is an attitude of mistrust. We feel like we can't trust anyone. Once you've been burned by a lie, it's hard to trust the liar again. Would you read a newspa­ per filled with lies? Many Americans have sold their integrity for the easy dollar or self-promotion. Not everyone, however, has given up on honesty. "Nation's Business" magazine reported "Empire Southwest, a distributor of construc­ tion equipment in Phoenix, refused to pay bribes and got the business anyway. 'I think it's our payoff for always treating our integrity as one of our most valuable assets,' says CEO Jack Whiteman." We need more companies with theguts to stand up for honesty. Did thespace shuttle disaster result from dishonest contractors deliveringinfe­ rior materials? Setting a better example for each other is the only solution to our addiction with lying. "No amount of talking about honesty and decent behavior will suffice when our children see us subordinating integrity to expe­ diency..." writes William Raspberry. Why not live by the words of "honest" Abraham Lincoln when he said, "In times like the present, men should utter nothing for which they would not willingly be responsible through time and eternity." We need integrity. And that's the truth. Editor's note: "The Plain Truth" magazine and "Teaching Values" by William Raspberry contributed to this article. Lincoln quote is from "The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln," vol. 5, page 535.

The only problem is, Americans Another thing wrong with American want entertainment. Sit corns give them society is its attitude toward politics. that, but they don't bother to express how Americans are generally apathetic when the show relates to real life, so the viewer it comes to politics. Surveys have proven gets nothing out of them. that over hal f the population doesn' t know By RON GILLESPIE Appalachian Staff Writer THE FAR SIDE much about the history of America or the governmental system's basis. Our gov­ ernment was formed to be run by the people, for the people. In actuality, what we do is sit back and say, "It's not my problem. Let somebody else handle it." That's no way to run a government. Our government officials are so corrupt be­ cause welook the other way.They can get away with anything. Even if we do spot them doing something wrong and we bring it out in the open, all they have todo is use some political double-speak to thoroughly confuse us. It sounds so good to us, we're satisfied. Give them a pat on the back and say, "OK, I was wrong. Keep up the good work." Americans are so easily amused by inconsequential things that don't make sense, like the following situation. Give a typical kid, say a five-year-old, a spoon and say, "What's this? Use your imagination," and he'll come up with some creative stuff. Give an adult a spoon and ask the same question, chances are, he'll look at it, say it's a spoon and he doesn't know what else it is, then put it down. Why do we have to lose that creativity we had as a kid? What I suggest we do about the govern­ ment and gaining back that creativity is to throw out all the present politicians and institute a new government, laying its foundations on such principles as decid­ ing what is stupid in society and what can be changed to make it not so stupid. We could organize its power by electing the twenty best comedians to figure out these stupid things and decide what to do about them (that's a comedian's job anyway). Then we can pass a law that there should be truth in advertising and that there will be a national creativity day where every­ body has to do something really creative whether it's stupid or not. Sometimes stupid things that make ab­ solutely no sense at all are the most creative, as long as it's done in good taste and for the common good. If there were more literature like this, life would be so much better. I think all we need to do is just think about things before we do them. What are the consequences? Will the long-term effects be good or bad? And most of all, am I doing this for a purpose? If so, is it for the common good or my own behalf/ Just think next time. A magazine that's good for these types of questions, as strange as it may seem, is See AMERICANS page 8 Value animal rights By GARY LARSON recent Cow Patty Bingo episode sponsored by CRSA. I know that to many of you, this seems like a minor issue, but in reality it reflects a major issue—disrespect for the animal life that shares our earth. Cow patty bingo is fun and funny, right? Imagine being driven many miles in a large cage on wheels to be placed in a pen, with hundreds of laughing people standing around waiting for you to defecate. Not quite as funny when the shoe's on the other foot, is it? It's no wonder the cow jumped the fence and ran away. No doubt it was terrified and reacted to its terror in a natural way.

"The yearbook fee used to be included in the cost of tuition," Wolf said. For many schools, yearbooks are a stu­ dent option. "The University of Tennes­ see is lucky to sell 1,000 books. The Big 10 schools, like Michigan State Univer­ sity, are lucky if they can sell a few thou­ sand," Wolf said. "More or less schools are getting out (of selling yearbooks).University of North Carolina atGreensboro dropped out. Now they have a small book. University of NorthCarolina at Charlotte now has gone to amagazine format. Students are spend­ ing their money for other things. Lack of publicity hasn't helped things either," Wolf said. In order topublicize the yearbook, ASU has tried personal mailings, contests and giveaways. "We've tried almost every­ thing we can think of," Sabo said. The University of Nebraska dropped its yearbook last year. Some schools that might be losing their yearbooks include Oklahoma State University, the Univer­ sity of Oklahoma and the University of Washington. "For the last 20years, some books have gone and returned at the same schools," said Tom Rolnicki, executive director for the Associated Press and the National Scholastic PressAssociation. Rolnicki ex­ plained that some schools drop books while others, such as the Universities of Virginia, Texas and California at Los Angeles continue to support yearbooks. Last year only 15 percent of students at the University ofTexas bought their year­ book, down from a high of 28 percent in 1982. "This is a such diverse campus, it's impossible for one yearbook to please everyone," said Robin Mayhall, editor of "The Cactus." Minton feels that yearbooks sales are strongest in the freshman and senior classes. "Freshmen arc used to buying yearbooks, (from high school) and se­ niors buy because they'releaving," M inton said.

We're olvnittkbt "n«r>ninan feeling pretty good about that," Dunnigan stated. Freshmen and sophomores receive first housing priority, followed by upperclassmen and students who return to campus, according to Dunnigan.

"Graduate school applications are up to the amount of last year, and there are still three-and-a-half months until the deadline in the fall of 1991," Lawrence said. "There has been a universal improve­ ment in the number of applications, re­ ported Peter Syverson of the Council of Graduate Schools, a national association of graduate school deans based in Washington, D.C. The increase reflects a trend in which enrollment at graduate schools has risen about two percent annually since 1986, when the council began tracking enroll­ ment, Syverson said. The ASU Graduate School is happy about the quality of the applications, which is much higher than past years, Lawrence said. According to Lawrence, those earning a bachelor's degree may decide to con­ tinue their studies in hopes they will be more employable or the economy will be r\ whpvp U/P will nut 11T1 tP.mnorflrV arrannp.where we put up temporary arrange­ /Mill t determine residence hall assign­ cult to H*»t*»rrr»inz» rpciripnrp hall nccia ments in severalof our lobbies," Dunnigan said. "But we will continue to work with students who want aplaceon campus," he added. Due to the number of freshmen who elect not to come to ASU and upperclassmen who don't retum and don' t notify the Office of Residence Life, it is often diffi- ments, Dunnigan said. Students who remain with the five hun­ dred who will not be guaranteed housing on Wednesday will be contacted over the summer about available living spaces. Those students will be contacted be­ fore the end of the semester and then will be updated periodically throughout the summer, according to Dunnigan. Approximately 37 percent of the stu­ dent population is housed on campus, Dunnigan said. He added that there is no particular group who has not already re­ ceived a space in the residence halls. "The majority of the students on the waiting lists are juniors and seniors who didn't get their number pulled during ran­ dom selection. We're not targeting any­ one," Dunnigan said. Due to thedemand foron-campus hous­ ing, Dunnigan said that the administration has been talking over plans for new resi­ dence facilities. However, these halls will not help those students currently on the waiting lists. "There will be no immediate action," Dunnigan said, citing problems with the state budget and the time necessary for planning construction projects. ^ ^cession causes grad school fee increase Dean of Graduate Studies and Services Editor's note: CPS contributed to this article. be published By AMANDA NELSON Assistant News Editor Our position has to be against the SAC because of the clear majority of the students who are against the center.

Crimes to 44 le 5 k The dangers of rewriting history better by the time they get a master's degree. There is a general trend in society for credentials, meaning some sort of ad­ vanced degree is becoming a common requirement for jobs. Another reason applications are higher is that ASU is becoming better known as a growing and prominent graduate school all around the country, according to Lawrence. See RECESSION page 2 In a decision that could compel other schools to start releasing crime informa­ tion to student newspapers, a Missouri judge ruled in March that Southwest Mis­ souri State University officials could not keep crime reports from the campi s news­ paper. However, according to Lee McCasky, director of student involvement and lead­ ership, this ruling will have no effect on ASU. He also added that he thinks the decision will be appealed. Schools cannot use the Family Educa­ tional Rights and Privacy Act, which keeps a student's "education records" private, to justify not releasing campus crime re­ ports, Judge Russell G. Clark said. Most of the schools nationwide that will not let journalists see campus crime records cite FERPA, also known as the Buckley Amendment, as the reason they need to keep illegal activities involving students secret. "Here (at ASU) it isstill against the law to reveal names of students who have had disciplinary hearings," McCasky said. He added thatour judicial systemoper­ ates under theBuckley Amendment, which "calls for universities to maintain confi­ dentiality injudicial matters." The only time a student's name may be released to the media occurs when crimi­ nal counts are filed and then the informa­ tion becomes public knowledge, accord­ ing to McCasky. Robyn Rutledge, deputy public de­ fender, said, "Keeping names confiden­ tial is an unwritten understanding between the court system and the newspaper." Critics claim schools keep crime re­ ports secret to avoid negative publicity that, in turn, could keep students from enrolling. School journalists like Traci Bauer, editor of the SMSU "Standard" who sued her school to gain access to the crime reports, claim campus residents have a right and a need to know how dangerous their neighborhoods might be. "It's important for students' safety," explained Laurel Wissinger, editor-inchief of "The Breeze," James Madison University's student newspaper. "By not having names we can't do our job com­ pletely," Wissinger added. Bauer filed the suit in January 1990, when SMSU refused to let her reporters see campus security department reports. "Schools around the nation are not put on notice that they can't use FERPA to cover up campus crime,"exclaimed Mark Goodman, executive director of the Stu­ dent Press Law Center, a Washington, D.C.—based advocacy group for student newspapers. SMSU has already started giving crime reports to the "Standard." "While I may personally disagree about releasing names,I now know what thelaw is, and I'm willing to abide by that," said Jack Miller, vice president of SMSU's Board of Regents.

Children of professors seem to be more comfort­ able with the college environment, yet growing up around campus takes away the excitement of go­ ing away to college. RES A L. SMITH ,t«ra Editor / I m comfortable getting around on campus, but it was also bad because it wasn't a new expe­ rience," said Marc Antone, the son of Dr. George Antone, chairman of the history department. The academic atmosphere seems to have ex­ tended to the homes of these students since they were bom. Dr. Antone explains that his and his wife s work has centered around the university, placing Marc and his sister, Alicia, in the college atmosphere all their lives. Having other professors as friends of the family can have drawbacks also. Christina Moore, the daughter of history profes­ sor Dr. Michael Moore, said, "At first I didn't want to be a history major because I knew some of the professors since grade school." Christina did, however, change her mind to become a history major with an English minor. She found that knowing the professors forced her to work harder. "I think it made it better because I work harder because I don't want to embarrass myself," ChrisUna said. These students' choices of classes are limited in that they do not want to take classes taught by their parents. The professors agree this would be awkward and unfair for both the students and parents. Christina has had to consider auditing classes because of this situation, her father said. "Some of the classes she would like to take, she can't, because I'm leaching them," said Dr. Moore. "She would be able to audit a class, but not be in a graded situation." Overall, the parents' fields do not seem to have much influence on their childrens' choices of major, other than their interest being aroused in the subject through discussions at home. "Christina followed out her own interests. She could have easily majored in English. I certainly didn't actively encourage it one way or another," said Dr. Moore. One overall advantage for these students that is generally agreed on by them and their parents is the fact that professors can recommend courses and professors to accommodate the childrens' inteiests. Marc took a history class with a profes­ sor his father had recommended. "I was pretty apprehensive about taking who he told me to because I thought it would be too hard, but it workedouL He was interesting and notoverly hard," Marc said. Christina agrees her father's recommendations are helpful. "That's the best part for me. He knows the ins and outs and knows what kind of liistory I like." Another advantage to this parent/student rela­ tionship occurs as feedback from other classes. Christina, for example, finds it helpful when her father can explain the purpose of an assignment another professor gives her. Dr. Antone does not think Marc has influenced his teaching style or methods, but he has reinforced Antone's opinions on other professors by giving him a student's perspective. "He has tended to make some very positive comments about faculty that gave me a very differSee PROFESSOR page 4 % you one of those people who hates to J can't understand why so many abhor writing of any sort—letters, •papers and even columns.

If you have a knack for poetry or just love to write, you may want to compete for the new creative writing prize. Entries of poetry, short stories and novels will be accepted. John Foster West, who retired from his teaching position at Appalachian last year, created the prize. West granted themoney to be awardedeach year. The amount to be given will vary according to accrued interest. West is a published author and is still an active writer. He won the Appalachian Consortium prize for best new novel, about the region, with his book "Summer People." It came out in December 1989. His first novel, 'Time Was," was a candidate for the Pulitzer Prize. The story is set in Wilkes County. The sequel is called "Appalachi an Dawn" and is based on the first years of his life. As a result of the success of his first no vel. West was offered many jobs and positions. He chose to work at Appalachian in 1958 and became die university's first creative writing teacher. West taught for 21 and a half years at ASU. Professor of English Edclma Huntley said die prize "...may encourage students who are writing See WRITING page 6 Student teachers deal with more than just children By CANDA SMITH Appalachian Staff Writer After taking numerous teaching courses, education majors have to ultimately face the chal­ lenge of student teaching. Dealing with the feeling of standing in front of 20 to 30 staring children and knowing by their first glance that their first impression is already implanted can be diffi­ cult. Any student whoaspires toteach must go through student teaching. There are definitely advan­ tages and disadvantages to being involved with a class for a mere 15 weeks. Of all the student teachers interviewed, one factor is obvi­ ous: they all are going to miss their students very much. The teachers work and get to know these chil­ dren, and then they have to leave them. However, the chance to get to know the students and the experience the teachers get from their first class­ room setting are definite advantages of student teaching. The curriculum education majors go through to teach is a rigorous one. After 60 hours with a 2.5 average, one can be admitted to the education department. Each major has its own education curriculum if the student wishes to teach in grades higher then sixth. Such classes as psychology and introduction to teaching are prerequisites for admittance to the education department. A 15 hour ob­ servation in a public school setting is also re­ quired. After 110 hours, the student is permitted to sign up for student teaching. An interview with the student takes place to decide what grade he/she should be put in. During the first two weeks, the student observes the classroom. Carson Alexander teaches a com­ bined class of fourth and fifth graders. "The first week I simply observed so I could fit in with the rules, and then I started teaching a day a week until I took over for the remaining five weeks," said Alexander. Dr. Alexander Erwin, head of department of education, sympathizes with the student teachers. "At the beginning of the experience, the situation is stressful and uncertain.The teachers don' t know what to expect." Alexander sees a distinct difference in maturity with her fourth and fifth graders. "I enjoy the fifth graders because I can talk to them, but the fourth graders find everything so silly." Stephanie Rhodes perhaps has a very difficult age to teach—seventh grade."There are good days and bad days," admitted Rhodes. "But I just have to be patient.They'11 be quiet when I ask, but it just takes a while.They're very open. If they don't like what you have on, they will not hesitate to tell you. They are so into everything and curious about everything." Rhodes taught in England for a short while. "There's really no comparison between the two countries where I have taught.The school systems Senior Week celebrated * / B y TAMMY PARKS Appalachian Staff Writer The Senior Committee has organized a week of activities for seniors. "The Senior Committee is trying to unite the class of 1991 through social and educational activities because we all have a com­ mon bond. We, as seniors, have experienced many of the same experiences," said Teri Farmer, activi­ ties chairperson. Starting Monday, April 22, there will be pool and drink specials at Savannah Joe's. Tuesday, there will be a picnic on Sanford Mall. The ASU jazz band will begin performing at 5 p.m. Senior T-shirts will be sold at the picnic. "When I see another person wearing a senior T-shirt I am most proud, because I have a common bond with that person," Farmer said. April 24, there will be a senior seminar in the Forum Room. The topic is "Adapting to life's transitions." The Outer Limits will perform at Sollecito's on April 25. "This was last fall's biggest event. The cost is $2 for seniors and $4 for the general public. There will also be drink specials for seniors," Farmer said. April 26, The Klondike Cafe will offer food and drink specials all day. April 27 is Yofest and Carowinds Day. Several local businesses will also be offering special discounts for seniors during the week. For a current list of these businesses, check the Senior Committee bulletin board in the post office. 'To participate in most of these events, seniors will need a senior gold card. If you have 88 hours and have not received your card, please come by the Alumni Affairs office and getone," said Patrick Henderson, assistant alumni director. "We want to do what students want us to do. Students are encouraged to drop suggestions into the suggestion box. The suggestion box is located near the Senior Committee bulletin board in the post office. "Last semester. Senior Week was a success. Each year it will get bigger and better," Henderson said. J? are so different In England it is very traditional. They wear uniforms, while I've never heard of students in public schools here that dress in uni­ forms." Each teacher has had his own meaningful expe­ rience he'll remember when looking back on student teaching. "I love it when a child struggles to learn something, and I help them to finally understand the problem. It's very rewarding," said first grade teacher Donna Jarvis. One child asked Rhodes if she would come and visit after she left. "It's things like thai that make me not want to leave thesechildren that I've finally won over and gotten to know. I'll miss them a lot," Rhodes said. Alexander had a similar experience. "The other day the teacher made a creative writing assign­ ment," Alexander said. "One of my students came and gave me his paper to read because it was about me and how much he would miss me."There certainly can be great emotional advantages in a teaching career. y >V / ^ J? « / To Academic Computing Services for being so rigid in closing hours, (i.e., turning off printers in the middle of a paper).

It was a good tune up for the conference meet coming up at VMI. Wehaveareally fast track hereand this was our last chance to improve times. Our athletes always run fast times in the events from the 400 down here." Fereshetian noted Brooks' perfor­ mance, saying, "Allen came out right off the top.

The ACC powerhouse, currently rated d "number 11 in the country, downed the Apps in successive games, 10-5 and 13B.atTiger Field in Clemson.S.C. April 16 "id 17. In the first game Clemson exploded for nine runs in the first four innings on hom­ ers by Joe Deberry, Eric Marina, Billy McMillon and Kevin Northrup. The Mountaineers rallied for four runs in the seventh, including three on Will Shellman's first collegiate homer. But, it was too little, too late for ASU as Clemson scored once more in the bot­ tom of the seventh frame to coast to a 105 victory. Sophomore hurler Danny Wills was saddled with theloss for ASU falling to 55 on the season. Chris Smith gave up four runs in the fourth before giving way to Chris Vullo in the fifth inning. Joe Bernard, Gary Brendle and John Key led the Apps in hitting, each notching two hits apiece. The following night, Appalachian State was plagued by costly errors en route to a 13-0 waxing by the Tigers. The Mountaineers committed five errors, al­ lowing seven unearned runs in the con­ test. The Tigers, who led 4-0 after six in­ nings, exploded for six runs in the seventh inning. Macina and McMillon each slapped their second home runs of the series and Jimmy Crowley added another dinger for the Tigers as Clemson scored three more runs in the eighth, cruising to the 13-0 win. ASU was unable to capitalize on nu­ merous scoring opportunities, as they stranded 11 base runners.The Appsloaded the bases in both the seventh and eighth innings only to be turned away by the Clemson nine. Sophomore Wayne Carter was tagged with the loss for ASU, dropping his record to 2-2. Meanwhile. Clemson hurler Aaron Jesild ran his personal unbeaten streak to six games for the 36-6 Tigers. "I thought we played well considering we played both games without two of our starters-Scott Waugh (death in the fam­ ily), and our starting catcher Randy DeBruhl," Head Coach Jim Morris said. Morris also credits the Clemson Tigers with having an extremely talented team. "They're leading the nation in scoring. They just played N.C. State, and beat them 13-3 and 16-6, and had 51 hits and 37 runs in the three game series,so there's no question that they're very good." Morris said. When asked to access the Mountain­ eers' overall performance in both games, Morris stated. " I thought we played very well the first game, and for seven innings of the second game, I thought we played well, but we just kind of collapsed in the eighth inning of the second game. But I really think it helped us to play good competition, and I think that will help us in the (Southern Conference) tournament" See CLEMSON page 6 Offense nips defense in scrimmage Stronger, faster Mountaineers prepare for upcoming season p WILL ROTHSCHILD Ptiachian Staff Writer Sophomore Kyler Ferguson kicked a I 5-yard field goal with three seconds left I the offense to a 36-34 win over the I 'ense it Appalachian State's Black and M football game last Saturday at Kidd Br5*« Stadium.

"But Andy has had a great spring, and I wouldn't hesitate about playing him. Last year there were times when we didn't think he was ready, but I wouldn't hesitate about playing him this year." Arnold's best series came on his sec­ ond appearance of the day. Arnold com­ pleted four straight passes, including two for first downs, and ran for another first down. Then, just before halftime,Arnold com­ pleted a 35-yard pass to freshman Craig Styron down to the one-yard line. One play later Arnold dove in for the touch­ down to give the offense a 26-14 halftime advantage. However, the defense re-took the lead at the start of the third quarter by stuffing the offense three straight possessions. Harold Alexander was forced to punt twice, and the defenserecovered an Arnold fumble to take a 30-29 lead at the end of the third quarter. The three-point third quarter and the 10 total points mustered by the offense in the entire second half showed some signs of how good the Appalachian defense could be in 1991. n "I think our defense is pretty good," Moore said. "That (the second-half de­ fensive play) doesn't surprise mc. Some­ times I have mixed emotions about that because I don't like to see the offense not able to move the ball. At the same time, I want our defense to be able to keeppeople from moving the ball, and I think we saw hoth sides play well today." Two notable absentees from the game were running back Johnny Smith and wide receiver Kemal Atkins. Smith sus­ tained a broken leg in practice earlier this spring, and Atkins underwent arthroscopic knee surgery before spring drills began and was unable to practice the entire se­ mester. Smith was the fourth-leading rusher on last year's team and was ex­ pected to challenge for a starting position. Atkins is a returning starter at wide re­ ceiver. Sophomore running backs A1 Ellis and Leon Wright provided the majority of the offensive highlights on the day. Wright carried the ball five times for 30 yards on one possession in the first quarter while Ellis carried the ball four straight times for 43 yards in the second quarter. Ellis is a returning starter at both fullback and tailback for ASU, while Wright emerged this spring as a contender for a starting position in the Mountaineer backfield. "Leon's had a great spring." Moore said. 'I'm not surprised at all with the way he played today. He was playing great even before Smith got hurt. The injury has nothing to do with how much he played or how well he played." According to Moore, the Mountaineers have enjoyed anexcellent off-season."The biggest improvement we've made since last season is that we're stronger and faster," Moore said. "Our difference has been what we accomplished in the off­ season in the weight room. We didn't do anything different this spring...we were more prepared for spring practice and everyone was in shape." ________ I Aptmtmmn ptwro by nun war* BLACK AND GOLD SCRIMMAGE: ASU sophomore quarterback DJ.

In early March, the Campus Crime Report released a study suggesting fewer than 27 percent of the nation's col­ leges regularly let campus reporters see security reports. In February testimony during theSMSU ttial, Goodman released the names of 17 schools that liad been giving crimereports to student papers on a regular basis for at least two years. 1 he revelation, in turn, prompted the U.S. Deparunent of Education, which oversees most federal college programs, to contact 15of the schools.The enforcers w amed them to slop letting journalistssee the records. IS ] IS The schools were violating FERPA and could lose all their federal funding if they continued violating it, the department threatened in a letter to the campuses. The letter frightened officials at several schools into locking up their crime reports. James Madison University officials, for example, quickly stopped releasing the names of students in crime reports to"The Breeze even though a Virginia state law required it. No w Jamcs Madison administrators are waiting Tor Virginia State Attorney Gen­ eral Mary Sue Terry to decide whether Ihey can once again release crime reports. I he school supports us," Wissinger said. I think (the state's decision) will follow the precedence of the Traci Bauer case," she speculated. Department of Education officials are still reviewing the decision, a department spokesman said. Nationally, all campuses should be re­ lieved ol the threat of losing funding soon, Goodman said. "I hope that the depart­ ment will quickly issue a revised interpre­ tation of the law," he said. In his decision, Clark said FERPA does not ptotcct campus security reports. More­ over, schools that deny access to security reports violate the First and Fifth Amend­ ments of the U.S. Constitution. The court also awarded editor Bauer $1 in damages.

Remember that time last summer we were all gathered around the kill like this, someone told a leopard joke, and you laughed so hard an antler came out your nose?" THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON As a member of the newest threat to the republic, the politically correct, I feel compelled to respond to scme of the fear and loathing that have been expressed in a: tides on these pages in the past couple of weeks. From the sound of it, the politically correct are a bunch of liberals gone bad.Worse yet, they'reout to stampoutShakespeare, science and all other"offensive" manifestations of Westem Civilization. Much of the hassle has involved some pretty repres­ sive moves by college administrators across the country which have resultedin students being expelled for behav­ ing like Neanderthals, and some pretty stupid regulations involving proper language in the classroom, both of which are pretty serious infringements on the ol' First Amendment. Too often, peoplein a position of authority tend to seek to change subordinates' behavior by dealing with them strictly in terms of consequences rather than helping them examine the impact of their behavior in order to enable them to gain some insight. This is probably a bit time consuming, and it can be threatening to those in charge (asking questions usually is), but it is in the end much more likely to bring about a lasting change in an individual's behavior. While it is probably reasonable for an administrator to keep an eye out for flagrant acts of intolerance, they're shooting themselves in the foot if they think the way to deal with intolerance is with intolerance. Instead, it is vital that one use anon-threatening approach and encour­ age someone to examine their values. Asking, "Why did you say that?" as opposed to "You're busted, fella" is probably going to be the start of effectively changing someone's behavior towards people who are different. It would seem our legalistic behavior towards problems (i.e. "There oughta be a law") is causing more problems than it is solving. There are in fact some shining exceptions to this sort of administrative behavior, and the cheap mediocrities masquerading as competent leadership in our universi­ ties while behaving like some kind of leftist Gestapo isn't the result of some kind of new thinking or liberal political ideology. It is more likely the result of what happens when a bureaucracy gets hold of a good idea. Just look at what happens when learning gets institutionalized, or the Democrats or Republicans get hold of financial assis­ tance: You wind up with universities, welfare and private insurance, respectively. It's a bit like doing surgery with a pencil sharpener. I asked one of the authors of the aforementioned articles just exactly what "politically correct" means. After some waffling, he showed me some articles from "Newsweek," "Harper's Weekly" and the "Wall Street Journal." Among other things, we PC wear buttons that say things like,"Keep your laws off my body" and "Draft Beer, Not People." I even have a button that reads, "Politically Correct." The spirit of the person who gave it to me was, to be delicate, mocking. Frankly, I think advocating freedom, non-violence and appreciation of other people for who they are seem to be pretty good ideas. They 're cheap and more fun than some alternatives, if nothing else. I'd always assumed PC referred to people who es­ poused relatively progressive political ideas. It seems to me the media is generating a new buzzword for "liberal." I guess they wore that one out on Dukakis. "PC" sounds like some kind of brain tumor, and it is sufficiently murky to stir fear in the electorate in 1992 and even beyond. As to some of the accusations made about the motives of the left, both on this page and in other opinion pages across the country, it would seem their arguments are the result of some rather dichotomized thinking. Just because some people are questioning some aspects of a system of thought that makes up much of our "tradi­ tional" knowledge and manner of thinking and even defined the context within which debate takes place doesn't mean they're out to throw away everything written by white men. "White male system" is in retrospect probably an unfortunate choice of words, but it gave a name to something that hadn't had a name before.That thing is the overwhelming influence of a particular system of v alues, knowledge and perspective which dismisses all other systems of values, knowledge and perspective as infe­ rior. The question being asked here isn't, "How are we going to knock off the white people?" It is rather a questioning of the supreme legitimacy of this system which assumes certain values and perspectives are inher­ ently superior, and others are, by definition, inferior. The idea isn't to replace the system with something else that will in time become "superior" or accepted. Certainly we all need a common framework with which to communicate, but it is fair to point out that much of the present system inherently places certain people who do not hold "traditional" values in a marginal position from the word go. It is also fair to say many aspects of this system bear the mark of white males. Yes. they have traditionally been the ones doing the writing and philoso­ phizing, but why is that? Why don't we hear a diversity of voices when we look in literature and history? The question, then, is oneof power personal, political, economic, whatever. Whenever people start asking these sorts of questions, those in positions of power stand a chance of losing that power, hence the uproar. When you have power, you have a voice. Questioning patriarchy is healthy. Questioning of any­ thing is healthy, for that matter. Maybe this kind of questioning will help us all out of self-destructive habits and attitudes. But it could lead to some changes in the balance of power. Presently, that balance of power is decidedly male. That power is manifested in our lan­ guage, values and even religion. As feminist author Mary Daly points out, "If God is male, the male is God."Yeek! Editor's note: "The Charlotte Observer" contributed to this article. Hussein as Hitler? Bush rewrites history By DR. LESLIE GERBER Special to "The Appalachian" A new adage is another of President Bush's recent achievements: "Those who know history are doomed to correct it." The Gulf War was not simply an exercise in historical correction, but this motive has been so prominent that we need to identify it clearly and reflect on its danger­ ous implications. Bush's first correction was, of course, directed at the events of 1938. Saddam Hussein became Adolf Hitler and the Baathists the Nazis. Kuwait was the Sudetenland and Saudi Arabia theremain­ der of Czechoslovakia. Chamberlain sold the Czechs out by yielding to the Fuhrer's demands: he also disillusioned theCzech's key ally, the Soviet Union. From thence forth, the Soviets never trusted the Westem democracies—and neither did a num­ ber of other countries waiting to see where their greatest safety lay. So Bush did not repeat Chamberlain's error. Rather than negotiating, he immedi­ ately confronted Iraq with decisive counter-force. American clients and friends who might have moved in Saddam's direction were skillfully drawn into alliance. Though the Soviet Union was not Kuwait's ally, Bush's bold ac­ tions enticed Gorbachev into his camp.So history did not repeat itself; the shame of Chamberlain's appeasement no longer burns, and English-speaking diplomacy has been exonerated. Other corrections have followed and continue to follow. And they have not only been Bush's. Everyone has gotten into the act. World War II and Korea taught us to avoid a land war in Asia. The Gulf is near enough to Asia for the doc­ trine to seem applicable. Accordingly, a mere 100 hours of ground action ensued. The principal mistake in V ietnam was to "fight a war with one hand tied behind our back." Not surprisingly, bombs hit Baghdad-the New Hanoi-in the first moments of the conflict, and they kept on hitting. We erroneously blamed the fight­ ing men in Vietnam, so even the dissent­ ers and war protesters wore yellow rib­ bons. Vietnam afforded the public vivid im­ ages of combat's mayhem; the Tet Offen­ sive was Ho Chi Minh's loss, but the press turned it into a victory. This error was corrected by restricting the"pools" to jour­ nalistic reservations and substituting anti­ septic briefings for independent on-site reporting. General Schwarzkopf abhors "body counts"—so there were none. The American public abhors body bags—so there were almost none. In Vietnam, troops rotated out on an individual basis and thus could not be properly welcomed home. Now they are coming home in units, and our welcome of them is wild, unstinting, just perfect. When they begin parading through our towns and cities, we will surely encourage old Vietnam vets to join them; thus all that old guilt will be expi­ ated. What is the problem here? It is that in using the Gulf War to exorcise all our historical ghosts, we will fool ourselves about present Middle East realities and arrange a future for peoples we have never really understood. In so doing, we may create conditions thatresult ineven greater conflict and diplomatic torment. No oil was buried under Czechoslovakia or Viet­ nam. Insofar as we fixate on Central Euro­ pean or Vietnamese analogies, we draw attention away from what Arabs under­ stood too well: moderate, stable oil prices for the industrial world was the principal aim of this war.Thus all our talk of check­ ing tyranny will create enormous reser­ voirs of cynicism, as well as put pressure on us to intervene where we have no real (national) interest. To read Saddam Hussein as a Middle East Hitler is deeply misguided and even imperialist. In doing so, we in essence say: "We know all about you. We only have to consult our own history to find your ilk. You are a tyrant, a dictator, a Nazi." In other words, "We don't need to pay any attention to your history and your cultural traditions." But as Thomas Friedman has brilliantly shown in "From Beirut to Jerusa­ lem," Middle Eastern authoritarians such as Saddam Hussein, Hafez Assadand vari­ ous rulers in Lebanon and the Yemens confront situations utterly different than the Nazis faced. Their problems have been those of (1) a legacy of tribalism best exemplified by the Bedouin, who recognize few binding ties other than kinship, and (2) the absence of a lively sense of -or enthusiasm for-the structures of the nation-state. The Middle East is historically accustomed to vast, distant dynasties like that imposed by the Ottomans. Under such conditions, says Friedman, "Political identities tended to be drawn instead either from one's reli­ gious affection, sect, region or profes­ sional association." Unfortunately, quenching these identi­ ties with high-sounding appeals to the vocation of citizenship does not work in the Middle East. Around Beirut, being Druse or Sunni Muslim or MaroniteChris­ tian matters more than being Lebanese. The inclusive "national" unities we regard as normal have often been the work of blood and iron. In 1982, for example, Assad liquidated 20,000Syrian citizens in the city of Hama. That he is of the Alawite sect and they were Sunni's was the opera­ tive reality. Needless to say, this cultural setting is illuminated not at all by the German ex­ ample. Germany split apart after World War II, not because of any internal stresses (the enmity between Catholics and Protestants or Prussians and Bavar­ ians had long since been resolved into mere "tensions"), but because the Soviets imposed a division which had no histori­ cal basis. However, what we now seem to be faced with in Iraq is a real fracturing of "the Iraqi people"into the primordial parts Saddam Hussein has brutally fused to­ gether. Note, with our tolerance, if not blessing. Bush's "new world order" in the Per­ sian Gulf might soon need to include Kurdish, Sunni and Shiite states, all in the area that formally was "Iraq." If the Turks, Iranians and Syrians oppose the formation of a Kurdish entity (and they must), whose side would we support? We can hardly afford to alienate these powers, but they have treated the Kurds wretchedly. Here is a "just case" just waiting to be taken up. Yet surely we cannot touch it. And what if a Basra-centered Shiite entity wishes to join itself to Iran?This all too probable outcome would add im­ mensely to thesway of Islamic fundamen­ talism in the region. Bernard Lewis has shown that anti-Americanism is the very soul of "Muslim Rage." Perceived assecu­ larist and materialist, America is "the le­ gitimate heir of European civilization and the recognized and unchallenged leader of the West'Tt thus has"inherited the result­ ing grievances and become the focus for the pent-up hate and anger." See HUSSEIN page 10 Complaints of student behavior surface Childish games at concert defame ASU To the Editor: Thursday (April 11), a nationally known act. Regency, performed in the cafeteria during lunch. This perfor­ mance was funded by student activity fees. Many students put in hours of hard work to prepare for Regency's concert. It was a wonderful concert from a group who has performed twice at Appala­ chian. The only problem was the lack of respect from certain student groups. Although Regency took it lightheartedly, I and many others were ashamed of student behavior. Several of the student groups were participating in a wateT gun fight. Needless to say, several students and members of Regency, who were not participating, got wet. This behavior was uncalled for. The immaturity of certain college students should not be tolerated by national acts or other students. Ellen E. Meachum ASU Box 14799 Jam session slam receives response To the Editor: I am writing in response to Jeff Piercey's letter to the editor printed in the April 4 edition of "The Appala­ chian." I am the mystery candidate Piercey spoke of, and I am writing to set the record strait Piercey needs to get his facts straight before he makes any sort of statement or accusation in "The Appalachian" or on WASU. I was not speaking in support of any campaign other than that of the Schmotzer/Blanton campaign. I feel what Ghent and Murphy did on campaign day was in extremely poor taste. So, on that "unusually beautiful day in Boone" that Mr. Piercey so eloquently described, I decided since Reggie Murphy had ar. unfair advantage on election day, it was only fair that Schmolzer and Blanton have someone out in support of them. I did nothing in any self-seeking manner. This is evident when reading any of my posters, "Experienee-who needs it?" This statement was to merely call attention to the fact that no one really seemed interested with any of the candidates' qualifications, only their popularity. This is evident in why Schmotzer and Blanton weren't elected. They were every bit as qualified as the Ghent/ Murphy ticket, but their names weren't in the public eye. I guess Piercey is far too short-sighted to understand my intentions. Piercey did approach me that election day, but his response was not so peaceful. He first asked why I was doing what I was doing. I felt this was a pretty dumb question to ask considering he sat there and listened for some time, but I figured I would play along. Before I could say anything Piercey flew off the handle, making several statements with colorful, four-letter words. Sir, I do question your colorful use of language in public and why you aren't compelled to present yourself in this same See LETTERS page 10 �UL The Anpalart\idf|. TupcHqy April 100/ Hussein Continued from page 9 in his own way a modemizer and antifundamentalist-will begin to look better than Rafsanjani or the Muslim Brother­ hood. So all of a sudden we would need Saddam Hussein, thebutcherofBaghdad, the Arab Hitler. Indeed, the anti-Saddam Iraqis in exile are already accusing the United States of finagling to keep him in power. It could easily turn out that S addam- Why couldn't some of this have been foreseen? Because when you are correct­ ing your own history, you simply don't attend to that of others very well. To dispense with the dangerous game of try­ ing to reserve old errors does not mean the United Stales will never intervene in situ­ ations of manifest injustice in other parts of the world. It will necessitate, however, that we stop forcing others to don the masks wom by the ghost in our owncloset. People who are truly historically-minded Letters will want to accord to others the same particularity we recognize in our past. As a practical matter, attention to the sort of past errors others are attempting to cor­ rect might result in more discerning and effective policies toward them. MOVIES MOVIES MOVIES |SONIC SIGHT 2S Editor's note: Dr. Gerber is associate professor of interdisciplinary studies. We purchase used CDs > O S music on the other side of Sanford for sometime. Piercey either can't tell time, or his watch had stopped, because I did not play any music until at least 10 minutes after 4 p.m. Piercey has shown more than ignorance; he has shown a slanderous manner when you decide to put your views in print? There are certain lessons that can't be learned inside a classroom. Living life and standing up for what you believe in are two of these lessons. Grow up, tune in, or keep quiet. Last year, Scales and Ghent ran uncontested. Why, we will never know, but I have a suspicion that the reason has a lot to do with the popularity factor. It is sad to say, but much of the American society is swayed by charisma, not sincerity. I found it somewhat ridiculous that Mickey Mouse came behind Scales and Ghent in last year s "race" results. This seems to show there are still people who are He is simply devoid of any facts with regard to what I was doing. The election for SGA pres and v.p. for the past two years has been a joke. I set up my equipment that afternoon only after Murphy had been playing looking for an alternative to "Mickey Mouse" politics. Finally, I feel that when attending college, students are supposed to leave themselves open to more liberal ideas, having the ability to see through the propaganda. Jason L.

Last year 20 hospitality stu­ died in Hawaii. Eighteen of [ents had such bad experiences illcge of Business has refused to send any students this year, according to Dr. Bob Goddard, professor of manage­ ment. It was not a real coordinated effort," explained Goddard."There was no one at the site (from the university) to supervise the students. Our students also complained of poor housing. We house students at local universities and there was some prob­ lems in billing for damages. 1 also heard horror stories of people bussing tables at restaurants. That's not the kind of thing hospitality majors do." However, the twostudents who worked at theho tels theConopoli and theOutrigger had different experiences. "They (the ho­ tels) paid the students' air fares, room and board and wages. Those students had very good positions," Goddard said. Because of the bad experiences, all internships to Hawaii were cancelled. Ac­ cording to Dr. Goddard, Dr. Grant David, dean of the College of Business, made that decision last August. "I went to Hawaii on business this past January, and while I was there I tried to try to iron out some of the difficulties. I did this on my own. I went to bat for the students. Just because some of the intern­ ships were not good...there was no reason to throw the baby out with the bath water," Goddard said. Even though the decision was made last year, students did not know about the cancellation and some are planning to go to Hawaii this summer. Four names were submitted to the Conopoli and the Outrigger as potential interns for the sum­ mer of 1991. Citing economic difficulties, the Outrigger turned down all intern­ ships. However, the Conopoli is set to work with two ASU students, Lisa Role and Julie Toman, this summer. If Role and Toman make the trip, it will not count as internship credit and subsequently will delay their graduation date. "I don't think it's fair...you have to find an internship all on your own. There isn't a whole lot of help (from the univer­ sity) for it," said Role. "I applied for the internship through Dr. Goddard. I ap­ pealed (Davis' decision) all the way up (to Dr. Ward Zimmerman, vice chancellor for business affairs). Toman appealed to Dr. Harvey Durham, the vice chancellor of academic affairs."

In 1989-90, 22 states increased such grants by more than 10 percent. While many states seem to be cutting back. University of California President David Gardner on March 18 announced a plan to help cover the $650 fee increase for middle-class students who might oth­ erwise be forced to quit school for lack of assistance. The Board of Regents instituted the 40 percent tuition increase as part of a drastic plan to raise money and cut expenses. "I'm very skeptical," said Lee Bultcrfield, head of the University of California Student Association, com­ plaining that no new money will be used to pay for the financial "aid.

Applications forSGAcabinetpositions for the upcoming academic year are cur­ rently being accepted. Positions are avail­ able in executive, legislative, and judicial branches of SGA and applications will be accepted tJirough April 24 at the SGA office on the second floor of Workman Hall. To qualify for a cabinet position, a student must have a 2.0 GPA. According to SGA President-elect Daryl Ghent ev­ eryone is encouraged to apply, and no prev ious SGA experience is needed. How­ ever, Ghent pointed out that any experi­ ence relating to a specific position would be welcomed. Ghent acknowledged the need to re­ cruit other people who have not previ­ ously worked with SGA. He explained that by doing so new ideas and views would be voiced. Interviews will be conducted through May 1 and a new cabinet is due to be announced on May 3. During the inter­ views Ghent said they were looking for people who were "active and involved and who are fired up with good ideas." The positions available in the execu­ tive branch are secretary, assistant secre­ tary, treasurer, staff administrator, who serves as an assistant to the president, and Mountaineer Escort director. Also available is the position of direc­ tor of state affairs. This involves linking ASU with the state legislature and any SGA activities that may have state-wide implications. Under the legislative branch, the position is available for rules chair­ person, who does necessary research on a bill. Also available is the position of assistant rules chairperson. Student af­ fairs is another position. The purpose of this position is to hear the concerns of students. Positions are also available in commu­ nity affairs, which sponsors the annual rental fair and which keeps the university in touch with the community. The posi­ tion of academic affairs deals with aca­ demic interest such as the honor code. The final position which falls under the legislative branch is off-campus affairs. This position is designed to represent and inform students living off-campus. Seven positions are available in the judicial branch of SGA. The positions available are public defender, attorney general, and the prosecuting attorney. There are also positions for deputy public defender and deputy attorney gen­ eral. In addition, there are positions for as­ sistant attorney general, assistant public defender and assistant chief justice. The actual office of chief justice is an elected one. According to Ghent, many of the appli­ cants who are not appointed to cabinet positions may be appointed to university committees which are involved in many facets of university business. Ghent encouraged all those interested to pick up an application. "It's an excel­ lent way to get involved," Ghent slated. �The Appalachian. Thursday. April 18 1QQ1 Congress Continued from page 1 "It's probably too early to tell" if the new spate of benefits will increase college attendance nationwide, says S teve Morris, director of veteran affairs at Indiana Uni­ versity. "Most individuals," he adds, "aren't using their benefits," meaning those they already have. A study done last year found that while 96 percent of Army recruits signed up for the college aid plan, only 21 percent actu­ ally went to college. While Morris contends campuses and veterans' groups are scrambling to find ways to encourage people to use such benefits, others have enthusiastically added more premiums to the pile since Iraqi troops effectively gave up Feb. 27. On March 17 the House of Representa­ tives unanimously approved the Desert Shield and Desert Storm Military Person­ nel Student Financial Aid Fairness Act of 1991. The act will give Secretary of Educa­ tion Lamar Alexander the authority to waive administrative requirements and repayment schedules for deployed mili­ tary personnel with studentloans or grants. "This legislation will ease the burden on student borrowers who were abruptly pulled out of school to serve our country in the Persian Gulf War," explained Rep. Frank McCloskey, D-Ind., who introduced the bill. Three days later, the Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee approved the Gulf War Education and Health Assis­ tance Act, which would defer student loan repayments and require schools to give tuition refunds or credits to Desert Storm reservists. Both acts will go to a special task force that is compiling numerous bills from severalcommittees into a legislative package focusing on needs of American troops. But some observers are unsure how long the good feelings provoked by the overwhelming victory in the Middle East will last or how many veterans will ben­ efit.

Thesurvey found that more than 2.5 million reports of child abuse and more than 1,200child abuse-related deaths were reported in the U.S. in 1990.

April 18,1991 I [)ne-act plays are a hit POV SHERMAN palachian Staff Writer (given the opportunity to see Christo- Durang's " 'Dentity Crisis," check P san;ty at the door. Senior Andrew 1directed the play through a web of ffldity that left audiences wondering if or the characters were insane. This y _ was one of four one-act plays pre'pi over the weekend by students in dieatre and dance department. Does the central character, Jane, played Julie Garber, truly live in a madhouse, pg the only sane person? Or, do we see *orld through her eyes—the eyes of a who has lost all touch with reality? ^ x.r was very strong emotionally and ^ mediately stole audience sympathy.

Belcher was brilliant as Robj Dsinghispowerfulstagepresenceand lling speed of characterization together lh a great talent for comic timing, he a character that was both humoruiid bizarrely intriguing. Michelle Poole aptly portrayed Edith mintage, Jane's flippant mother who lually reacted with the insanity of her Duly. This added to the insanity and nor of the play. Iison Levcrgood and Whitney Hunter yed different aspects of Jane's psyithst, Mr. Summers, and his wife Mrs. miners. Lcvergood was weaselly and site with the sort of voice you'd expect V hear in an obscene phone call. Hunter offered good contrast and counterpoint to Levergood in her drastically cooler and more clinical portrayal with her straight delivery enhandtng the humor. Senior Carla Vines directed"The Night is Far Spent," a much more serious play about life in a Nazi concentration camp, written by Cecil Davies. Franziska, played by Kelly Doherty, is a prisoner who can't remember life before the camp. Doherty showed a very deep, believable character­ ization with a very intense energy. It was impossible not to sympathize with her. Maria Smith was very good as Else, a new prisoner, still naive with blind faith. In the closing scene. Else struggled hope­ lessly with the prison guard, played by Lee Ann Givens, when she realized her imminent death. Dar Scholl gave a won­ derful performance as the strong-willed Mother Maria whose undying faith en­ abled Franziska to renew her own faith. The make-up job on the three prisoners gave them a verysickly and grimy appear­ ance, adding to the atmosphere of despair. Horton Foote's "Blind Date" was di­ rected by senior Melanie Cornelison and, at First, seemed to be a very cut and dry story about a blind date. But, upon closer inspection, it revealed a deeper level.The extremely vibrant Staci Knight played Dolores, a very energetic yet ditzy house­ wife. Knight was wonderful in her por­ trayal, showing nothing but the most shal­ low emotions. David Brodcrick, who played Dolores' husband Robert, seemed a little drab at first until we met Sarah Nancy, played by Andi Eancs, and Felix, played by Wally White, and started to understand the deeper level of this play. Eancs is wonderful as Dolores' cynical and introverted niece. White is very loud, obnoxious and very funny as the blind date. There is a parallel between the two couples each consisting of an introvertand extrovert, repealing the set through two generations. The only problem I had with this pro­ duction was that when the phone rang, it very obviously came from the wrong di­ rection, confusing the audience. "Tennessee," written by Romulus Linney anddirected by senior Kim Church, took place in the mountains of North Caro­ lina and was very satisfying as the story of an old woman returning to her childhood home and discovering her life to be a sham. Laura Cole was very impressive as the old woman. Cole paid careful atten­ tion to her posture and the subtle changes which made the transitions between time periods in the flashback sequence a suc­ cess. Stephen Corbett was a strong physical presence who successfully portrayed the old woman's late husband. Richard McCleod was good as Hershcl, the new owner of the old woman's homeand Ranee Greene had a certain honest quality as Cardell, Hershel's son. All in all, the four one act plays were a very entertaining production and definitely worth far more than the price of admis­ sion. The quality of these plays demon­ strated what an immense amount of talent can be found in the department of theatre and dance. A second set of one acts will be per­ formed April 18-20, at8 p.m. in I.G.Greer Arena Theatre. Tickets arc $1 and can be purchased at the door or in advance at 134 Chapel Wilson Hall. If the second set fares as well as the first, it will be an evening you will not want to miss!

Bright is the creation of WBTV news anchor Robert Inman in his fourth book, "Old Dogs and Children." Inman creates vivid, colorful characters in a story orga­ nized into five "books" that centers on Bright and vacillates between her current troubles and her childhood.

By the conclusion of the story, readers intimately know four gen­ erations of Bright's family from her par­ ents and their courtship to her grandson's summer visit. A sense of family history is created. Inman has a real gift for writing about people and their relationships with one another.

Hosanna is hysterical and touching as the stereotypical black southern nanny who gives Bright and her family daily doses of her own pearls of wisdom, no matter how trivial or taboo the subject.

Iternative band Earth House Hold rocks Klondike Cafe JOSEPH RAYLE Ptlachian Staff Writer ""one's Klondike Cafe is the place to •onight with the Charlotte alternative nd Earth House Hold. Ntmed for beat poet Gary Snyder's Earth House Hold has been long all over the south for about four «• Formed in the fall of 1987 by get/ songwriter James McCachren at wC, Earth House Hold has held up We'l, releasing several tapes and tight, consecutive shows despite a career marked by a number of personnel changes. Earth House Hold made its debut in an appearance at a"New Music Night" festi­ val held at thenow defunctCavalaris Hall in Charlotte. From that appearance, EHH caught the attention of several club own­ ers in Charlotte, namely the Milestone, 4808 and the International Club. "The early shows were kind of weird," McCachren said. "We went over preuy well for a new alternative band in Char­ lotte, but the first time we played at the International Club a bunch of bikers showed up and started screaming for 'Freebird.' I thought that our guitarplaycr was going to lose it." Much of 1989 and '90 found them opening up for bands at the M ilestone and Pterodactyl clubs. After their start inChar­ lotte, the band started getting gigs in At­ lanta, Virginia and throughout theCarolinas. During the summer of 1988, McCachren's elder brother Mack replaced their first bass player, who left after a drug overdose.These two have formed the core of the outfit ever since. "I'm pretty happy about the two guys we've got now," stated McCachren. The Strike up the band lineup has remained constant since last spring. Early on, EHH had a distinct and unique jangly southern pop sound. With the addi­ tion of Mack, however, the band has taken on a more menacing and driving sound. Mack McCachren spent several years touring up and down the east coast with the Dennis Talbert Band before going back to school, landing a job and eventu­ ally joining EHH. Noted for his stage antics and love of the Ramones, Mack certainly has had an audible effect on the band's sound. Nowadays, EHH even does an occasional Ramones cover, with Mack on vocals. "We're working on a new tape with a guy near Lake Norman," James said. "It's a 16-track setup, which is a first for us, and I think we'regoing to come up with some­ thing that sounds really good." Early tapesrecorded inCharlotte present a band with to-the-poim arrangements that are both light and fast moving. More recently, the band's sound has evolved to include darker melodies and heavier rhythms. The centra] theme of much of James' writing deals with alienation. This theme can be found throughout the band's mu­ sic. Tunes like "Misunderstood" and "Look Out Crow" seem to be reactions to much Jameshas encountered in daily life, while the likes of "I Don't Mind" and "Opium River" point out the frustrations and vagaries that are so much a part of human relationships. Earth House Hold's music, with its catchy phrases, soaring arrangements and \ hard-hitting delivery, is welcome relief in a scene overrun with R.E.M. clones and formulaic musical styles. If you're look­ ing for something listenablcand different, this is a band for you. Jets continues with raw style "Go Go Harlem Baby" employs bare essentials of rock'n'roll Flat Duo Jets' last show." Since then, the two have broken up numerous times, only to once again reform.

By TONY PETERS Appalachian Staff Writer Their new record, "Go Go Harlem Baby," sees the Jets back as a duo, with bassist Tone leaving before the record was complete. The album was recorded in the legendary Sun Studios in Memphis by producer Tim Dickinson. On the album, the band usesovcrdubbs for the first time. Prior to this, all recordings were done live. The overdubbs allow Romweber to play guitar solos as well as therhythm guitar he usually plays. The album's songs vary from the allout rockers "Frog Went aCourtin',""Wild Trip" (an old Ventures' song) and "Rock House" (recorded first by Roy OrbiscmX to the stunningly pretty "Ask Me How I Live" and "Apple Blossom Time." In concert, the Flat Duo Jets are a mustsee. The energy produced by the two guys is incredible. Even if you are not familiar with their music, you'll still enjoy the show. The play frequently in the Raleigh area. With all the production innovations of today, the Flat Duo Jets ignore it all and instead use only the bare essentials of rock'n'roll to produce a fantastic album that's fun to listen to. �The Appalachian rhHrS(jny Classifieds "°CBSORS/TYPISR Covof Letters .

All the kids are trying very hard and giving a great effort, but they are in a tough position." That was evident last Saturday as Ap­ palachian dropped a Southern Confer­ ence match to Western Carolina. Six different Mountaineers forced six-set matches, only to drop all six en route to an 8-1 loss. Sophomore Greg Dulin, the number four seed, won the only match of the day for ASU. Moeller, who dropped one of the sixsetters to Western Carolina, said, "I thought everyone was starting to play their best and then Warren and David got hurt. That is really frustrating, because we were starting to come together and now we have to move people up and play them in tough positions." Off the court, Kernodle still hopes to land one or two recruits for next year. With such a young team, Kernodle didn't plan on needing to bring in a lot of new scholarship players, but the two injuries may cause Kernodle to do some lastminute scrambling. "I didn't recruit really hard this year, and the two kids I pursued, I didn't get," Kernodle explained. "One of the kids just didn't have the grades and the other kid was going to get a lot more scholarship money from another school, so he took their offer." By KURT C.

From the Bleachers Lowe takes second in Raleigh racquetball tourney r> t a By WILL ROTHSCHILD Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian StatejuniorTommy Lowe ok second place in the Eastern Seaboard 'ollegiate Invitational RacquetballTourlament in Raleigh on April 6-7. Lowe competed against players from e University of North Carolina and the diversity of Virginia, among others. Lowe defeated two competitors from 6 University of Maryland en route to he title game, where he fell in two games, 15-13 and 15-13, to a player who is not a college student. Lowe's runner-up finish came less than a month after he won the ASU Intramural Men's Open and Men's Doubles Championships. Lowe also won the fall semester open title. "I'm pleased with the way I played," Lowe said. However, Lowe said losing in a college toumey to a player not currently enrolled in college was disappointing. According to Lowe, the winner of the toumey was allowed to play after a friend at NC State registered his name and listed NC State as his school. "I'm not mad, and there is no excuse for me losing to a guy who is not in college, because I could have beaten him," Lowe said. Lowe was ranked third in the nation during hissophomore year in highschool. In the 16-and-under division that year, Lowe won thestate championship and.bcat competitors from North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida to win the Southeast Regional Championship. Since graduating from Greensboro Day School in 1988, Lowe has relegated his racquetball playing to college intramural tournaments. Before transferring to ASU i last fall, Lowe won two straight intramu­ ral titles at Elon College. His appearance in the Raleigh tourna­ ment one week ago signals his comeback to major tournaments. "If I got really committed to it (playing competitively) again and took it up seri­ ously, 1 think I could hang in the top 10 in the state," Lowe said. "That's if I really took it as serious as I did in high school, but right now I don't really have any desire to do that." Lowe ascended to his number three national ranking just two years after he i first started playing racquetball. He at­ tributes his quick rise to the top to the competition he faced everyday at Greensboro's Sportime Racquet and Ath­ letic Club. "I'd say that one of the reasons I got better faster was because Sportime had the top five players in the men's open division, and I would play them every­ day," Lowe explained. "I would get waxed and killed by them, but that helped me to improve more than anything else. That club definitely has the best players in the state." After a week off, the ASU track squad will host thel2th annual ASU Mountain­ eer Track Classic this Saturday at Kidd Brewer Stadium. According to ASU Assistant Men's Coach Paul Goewey, the Mountaineers will use the meet as a "tune up" for the Southern Conference Championships, which will be held the following week­ end, April 26-27, in Lexington, Va. "Right now we are tapering down," Goewey said. "It's the end of the season, and hopefully we will peak at the confer­ ence meet." ASU Women's Head Coach John Weaver agreed with Goewey. "We are at the point in the season when we need a little break," Weaver said. Weaver said most of the runners have been competing since September, partici­ pating in cross country and indoor track as well as the present competition of the outdoor track season. "We need to have a break to rest both mentally and physically," Weaver said. "Hopefully, (this meet) will freshen them (the Mountaineers) up and get them excited about the conference," Weaver said. "Right now, it is shaping up to be the kind of meet we wan ted—some good com­ petition, but nothing overwhelming." Virginia Tech, Western Carolina, Carson-Newman and Brevard College arc scheduled to attend, though the meet will not be scored on a team basis. To aid in preparing for the SC Champi­ onships, both the men's and the women's coaches plan to move some of their run­ ners to events other than the ones they will be competing in at the conference meet. "We are moving some of the athletes around to different events," Weaver said. "For the distance runners it should be refreshing." "Some of the guys will run odd events," Goewey said. "They will run the shorter events." The meet will begin at 11 a.m. with the hammer throw. The track events begin at 1 p.m., and the runs, dashes and hurdles will continue until 5:15 p.m. when the 10,000-mcter run concludes the competi­ tion.

Smith, reserve running back, possibly sidelined for next year Freshman back suffers compound fracture of leg during spring football drills By SHEA GRIFFIN Assistant Sports Editor ASU backup running back Johnny Smith suffered a broken leg in spring practice last Wednesday and could possi­ bly be lost to the Mountaineers for the 1991 season. "Johnny suffered a compound fracture of the tibia and a fractured fibula. The bone wassticking through the skin," ASU head athletic trainer Andy Massey said. "Dr. Steve Reming reduced the fracture and put a screw in it." ASU Head Coach Jerry Moore said the injury occurred when Smith was tackled in a drill in practice. "He caught a ball and he was running in the secondary," Moore said. "Three or four guys tackled him at once and some­ one just rolled over on it.It wasn't a late or low tackle, it was just a freak thing." Massey said that no schedule has been set for Smith's return to the gridiron. "We're going to allow the fracture to heal. Then, we'll begin rehabilitation at the first of the summer," Massey said. "We're not making a decision as to when he can come back. It's too early to set a timetable." Moore said that Smith had a productive off-season in the weight room and was performing well in spring drills before the injury occurred. "We're disappointed Johnny got hurt," Moore said. "He had a tenific off-season and was having a good spring. Obviously, we're going to miss his experience. "He really benefited from off-season conditioning. The fact that he was in such great physical shape has to be helpful in his recovery. There's a chance we'll get him back. We'll hope for the best and prepare for the worst." Moore said the Mountaineers have sev­ eral candidates to fill the vacancy created by Smith's injury. "A1 Ellis, J.K. Reaves, Tyrone Talbert. Leon Wright and Chad Sowers are all good running backs," Moore said. "Plus, we've recruitedsome good kids whocould step in. "So, we should still be all right there, but we hope Johnny can heal soon be­ cause he's a fine player." Smith, a 5'10", 178-pound performer from Immokalee, Ra., ranked fourth on the Mountaineers in rushing last season, with 184 yards and one touchdown. Smith served as a reserve at tailback to Ellis last season, but got additional playing time when Ellis saw action at fullback. Smith averaged four yards per carry last season and nabbed five receptions for 73 yards. He also participated on special teams, where he returned 12 kickoffs for 215 yards. Smith was selected the Southern Con­ ference Freshman of the week for his performance against James Madison in the Apps' final game of the season. He totaled a game-high 132 all-purpose run­ ning yards in ASU's 24-0 victory over the Dukes on Nov. 17. Smith carried the ball 22 times for 86 yards and caught two passes for 46 yards, including a 40-yard strike that set up a Mountaineer touch­ down. The outing against James Madison was Smith's only start of the season. Prior to that contest, he carried the ball 24 times for 98 yardsand caught three passes for 27 yards. Smith played at Immokalee High School, where he rushed for 3,899 yards during his career. He led the state of Florida in rushing as a senior with 1,193 yards and played in the Rorida-Georgia and Rorida North-South All-Star games. The Mountaineers, without theservices of Smith, will conclude their spring work­ outs with the annual Black and Gold Scrimmage this Saturday.The scrimmage will begin at 9 a.m. at Kidd Brewer Sta­ dium.

I By DAVID BAUMAN Appalachian Commentary Editor "Dad held in killing"said the page three headline in the New York "Daily News." In typical crime reporting style, the reporter rattled off his story. People read the story and paused for a minute and buttered their toast and went on to the comics section. Familiar reaction to a murder story? Yes, except the details demanded more lhan a Five-second pause. The father in this incident recendy relocated to New York. He had grown angry when his six-day-old son urinated on him. In his anger, the father threw the child on the floor. He then chopped the infant into pieces and fed him to the family German shepherd. The police found nothing but blood on the floor when they arrived. The unsetding side of the story is the reaction people gave, or are giving, this senseless crime. Somehow, we're not as shocked as we should be. We've grown tolerant of murder. What can you expect from a nation of people who feast on violence in the media and real life everyday? We've become morally jaded and extremely tolerant of the horror surrounding us. Can you expect New Yorkers to feel shocked? There were 1,905 murders reported in 1989 for their city. That's five a day. One gets used to it. Where is the horror? Not in America. As the Russian writer Aleksandr Kuprin wrote, "Do you understand, gentlemen, that all the horror is in just this: that there is no horror!" We can live with our problems. As situations progressively get worse, we will continue to tolerate and permit their occurrences. Honor has fled America. By GARY LARSON "Just ignore him. That's our rebellious young calf Matthew — he's into wearing leather clothes just for the shock value." THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON I Usually the issue of abortion is exam­ ined politically or morally. This article hopes to give a new perspective on the women's issue of the decade. It will look at abortion historically. This view is espe­ cially important now, at a point in history when legislating morality is in vogue and when women may once again be facing the harsh reality of outlawed abortion in the near future. During colonization and the first halfcentury of our republic, English common law, which allowed abortion up until "quickening" (the time the mother first felt the baby kick—usually at about four months), was the rule which people fol­ lowed. Although not illegal,doctors, midwives, and women debated the morality of abortion and justified their action as simply restoring menstruation. Medical journals of the day also pro­ vided women with home remedies for restoring menstrual flow. These include violent exercise, raising great weights, reaching too high, jumping from great heights, falls, beating oneself on thestom­ ach, bathing in hot water, electric shock, drinking sometimes toxic solutions (abortifacts), douching with solutions of iron, vinegar or wine, and even the extrac­ tion of teeth (bloodletting). Obviously, authors of these journals believed their techniques to be safe and effective and, obviously, many of them were neither. Aside from these medical journals, people used folk remedies and went to "witch doctors" and midwives for treatment. Despite the seemingly brutal practices suggested by the journals, abortions were not as dangerous in many cases as births would have been. Death as a result of infections following childbirth was the number one killer of otherwise healthy women up until the mid-twentieth cen­ tury. The earliest law limiting abortion was passed in Connecticut in 1821. The law still considered terminating a pregnancy an "abortion" only after the woman has quickened and forbade the use of poisons which were "as likely to end a woman's life as it was to end her pregnancy." Sur­ gical (and other) methods of abortion were not affected by this law. Illinois and Missouri passed similar laws in 1827 and 1825 respectively. In New York (1828), the first law to outlaw abortion, except in cases in which the mother's life was in danger, was passed and punishment for a convicted abortion­ ist was no more than one year in jail or a fine of not over $500or both. Soon people realized that women were safer before these laws were passed because by mak­ ing abortion illegal, abortionists without any medical training began showing up and performing abortions in large quanti­ ties. Because of the outcry against these abortionists, many states repealed the laws they had passed. Other states, however, passed even harsher laws prohibiting abor­ tion. Attempted abortion by any pregnant woman in Maine, whether or not the child had quickened and regardless of the method, was illegal; only the abortionist was punished. None of the laws in the first wave of abortion legislation punished the women who sought or received the abor­ tions. In some ways, stricter laws against abor­ tions made them more accessible. Now, abortionists were business people who advertised themselves in newspapers and magazines as female physicians. Female pills which "guaranteed to produce mis­ carriages" were also advertised. Many abortionists advertised themselves as as­ trologers. Newspapers which ran these ads also researched and sensationalized the abor­ tion clinics. In 1871, the "New York Times" ran an article exposing the "vilest of quacks" (abortionists) in the city. This, along with the discovery of a woman who had died as a result of an abortion and who was being shipped out of town on a train in a suitcase, was enough to get the church involved. By the end of the 1870s, almost all denominations had spoken out against abortion. In 1873, Congress passed the Comstock Law which made advertising any type of birth control illegal. By the turn of the century, known abortionists were being tried for murder and any laws (outlawing abortion) which had been re­ pealed were reinstated in every state. By 1881, abortion in North Carolina was a felony—before ithadbeenamisdemeanor. In 1973 the Supreme Court declared all states' laws outlawing abortions uncon­ stitutional. Luckily the Roe vs. Wade de­ cision still stands. Editor's note: Irwin is president of the Appalachian Feminist Collective. "Abor­ tion in America" contributed to this ar­ ticle. Battle against racism; the war isn't over exposed in "smaller daily doses." It is exposed in large doses, but not as harshly as in the past and only because a lot of the ways of the past were illegal. The point is that racism Is exposed and is still very much present in today's society, though I must admit no one readily announces their prejudices. They push them further under the table so they aren't as noticeable. Many whites don't know what racism looks like because they never really had to live with it and have never seen it before in the security of their white communities. Maybe this is why you say it is affecting each generation less dramatically, but in reality it is not. You say you would like to see a color blind university, but from my experiences here at ASU with racism from faculty and students, I would think ASU really doesn't have a chance.

Racism is on the get around their friends the word "nigger" seems to be a wholesome part rise, but just not openly. Racism is not Editorial on racism lacks realistic view Early but unsuccessful practical jokes 'The New Republic" magazine admitted, "The facts are clear. Licentiousness about drugs and sex have put our children at risk lives are ruined by the ethos of 'anything goes.'" Too many people are screaming for rights. But that's only half of the equation. With rights comes responsibility and accountability. How about a march to demand civic participation and responsibility? James Madison realized America would be in trouble » if rights became more important than social responsibil­ ity. He said, 'To suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people, is a chimerical (unrealistic) idea." What can we do? Are we doomed to a nation of murder, drugs and free-lance self-gratification, no matter who it hurts? Yes we are. If we didn't tolerate drugs and murder, there would be few cases today. The only cure is for us to start changing ourselves. We've got to stop being tolerant of wrong behavior. America needs intol­ erance. Let's be intolerant of kids who get angry and kill others by teaching our children to resolve conflicts peacefully. Let's be intolerant of lying by telling the truth. Let's be intolerant of the homeless situation by going out and helping them. Let's be intolerant of AIDS by notsleeping around (today, 90 percent of AIDS transmittance is by sexual intercourse). Let's be intolerant of lung cancer and heart disease by kicking the habit. Let's be intolerant of drugs by not taking them. Let's be intolerant of alcoholism, from which 57,000 people die a year, by drinking less. Let's beintolerant of child abuse by loving our kids. When we preach the doctrine of "anything goes," we're asking for trouble. A morally illiterateculture is on a rendezvous with crime, abused children, crack babies, murder and other cancers which will sapour nation of its strength. Don't get used to the way things are. Have the guts to change what you can. Tolerance is not the ultimate virtue. By the way, don't forget the horror. It may be the last measure of our nation's sanity.

Abortion's surprising long history By JEANNE IRWIN Appalachian Staff Writer THE FAR SIDE The mental Novocain of tolerance has been injected into our minds over the last decades. Crime, sexual perversion, scandals, rapes and lying face us each day in the newspaper and onTV. Many of us have been morally shell-shocked. The younger generation doesn't know what is right and wrong anymore. They only know what William Raspberry calls "normative reality." "Normative reality" is basing values, not on right and wrong, but on what everyone is doing. Young people around the nation are blindly falling into thissinister trap. The undesirable behavior of the peer group is accepted as the standard. If a million people do a stupid thing, however, it's still a stupid thing. The way to handle disputes between young people in the tough neighborhoodsof America today is with a gun; nine-millimeter or 357 magnum, take your pick. It's the normal reality. At Shaed Elementary School in Washing ton, D.C., a team from the Washington Hospital Center asked a class of 10- and 11-year-olds how many knew someone who had been killed. Fourteen of the 18 students raised their hands and offered details. The funerals in these neighborhoods lack remorse. Too much death has hardened the attendees. We have allowed tolerance to become the ultimate virtue. Tolerance is important, but not when it comes before other values which guarantee a safe, healthy civilization. Parents, afraid to tell their kids how they should live, give in to their desires for "self-expression." Dr. James Q. Wilson of Harvard University put it this way: "What has ultimately corroded social life in the 20th century is the triumph of self-expression over self-control as a core human value; we have learned to exalt rights over du­ ties...." The 60s era led the march away from self-control and into self-expression, or in many cases, self-gratification. The 1960s glorified protest and civil disobedience."Crimi­ nal acts were tolerated in the name of self-expression and liberation" said Anthony Harrigan in a speech entitled "The Future of Law and Order" given in Orlando, Fla. two years ago. Self-expression won the battle. The "anything goes" mentality took up permanent residence in America. Sex, drugs, vandalism—do whatever feels good. The message was, and is, tolerate any behavior. of the conversation. I would like to ask a question: can you sit here and really say racism will be eliminated? I would think not, especially as long as groups such as the KKK are still marching their ignorant buns off and preventing the elimination of racism. Elimination of racism is still a far-off dream. If you look, you will find racism on this campus, but like I said, many don't know what it looks like so they can go along with your statements. But for me—I cannot and never will, unless someone really can eliminate racism for good. I know this will never happen. Tonie Reaves ASU Box 07187 Senior gift should buy books and mags To the Editor: I have never written to this publica­ tion, but I am a faithful reader of it because it is really entertaining to read all the kinds of letters my high school newspaper would not let us print. Should I choose to join another writing staff, it is good to know one exists where folks can write in and criticize the establishment. Unfortunately, I find I must jump on the bandwagon and present some views on my own. For weeks now we have been reading about the senior gift Very soon I shall be joining the ranks of seniors, and I should hope they would not have the audacity to propose I pay for something as frivolous as a gazebo. I just hope I keep my cool long enough to hang up the phone without telling them "a thing or two." But this constant bashing without any clear suggestions has got to stop. People who write in must take the time to think out their arguments and to present solutions in a clear and concise manner. For instance, donate money to the library. How and where should the money go? Are you just going to write a check to the library and see where they put it? Why not devise a way for the money to be used and for the recogni­ tion to go to the class of whatever. I have outlined a few such suggestions. 1. An entire rack of magazines with a plaque above stating "Brought to you by the class of '92." See LETTERS page 8 �The Annalarhign FFILIR^NV ApRJI /FT JQQJ Ray Farmerg^N^. Letters Taking Care of ASU Students For the » Continued from page 7 2. For every book bought with the money, have a notation inside the cover from the class of '92. 3. Dedicate a series of shelves in an area as the "Class of '92 browsing area." There are many other possibilities where such a gift would be obvious, as that seems to be the reason why the seniors never give back to their college in an academic manner. Who is ever going to see a book? If it hasn't occurred to any senior, we use books every day here. Well, most of us do at any rate. If I was a senior, boy would I hate to be known as the class who helped the library through the budget crunch of 1991-1992. You do not have to be a senior to contribute. I have a plan that could possibly help pull the library out of the periodical problem they now face, and anyone can participate. Back before Christmas, the library had an ornament tree which apparently everyone ignored. If you made a donation of $10 or more, you had your name put on the inside cover of whatever book you wanted purchased. Take that a step further. Have the library publish a list of all publications whose subenptions are coming due. Allow students to purchase those subscriptions and their names will be placed on the plastic cover in the browsing area as the ones who saved this publication. Or, have students purchase subsenptions for magazines they want for the library and still place the label upon it. This could give us access to magazines the school cannot ordinarily buy because of a priority basis. I know some magazines cost a bundle, but some, like "Seventeen," or GQ, or even "HotRod," are not that expensive. Allow students to save these magazines, if they wish to continue reading them. Take an active part in saving your library. Apparently, the state is unable to offer help in these trying times due to reasons of which we are all aware. We should even stop blaming the SAC. The SAC is a wasteful amount of money to be spending on a university that is already in academic trouble. I do not fear, however, that the money will make its way here any time soon. I think the state will eventually say no. And since the money they have already taken from us is still being held hostage, it is time we take the university into our own hands. Perhaps later, when we are backon our feet, I will support the SAC, but not when I have to wait till I am a senior for three semesters just to get classes I should have been able to get when I was a junior if there had been enough money to hire just a couple more teachers. Isn't the status of our university at least as important as a juke box in our Sweet Shop? I am not poking fun at our SGA. You are a little like Congress when they began this flag burning business. Economically speaking, it is far easier to handle the things that cost little or no money, than to take the chance on meddling with things that are too big for us or that we lack the heart to tackle. 2 BR Furnished—$350 per month 264-1533 Save the rainforests a n d t h p a l m Ray Farmer and Sh. ® s 1"800"24*|,5e V ^ c WE BAIL!

"I was quite sur­ prised ASU did not center and according to Ayers, who spoke with Richard Brown, vice chancellor of business affairs for ECU, "The center will be funded without student fees." Western Carolina University's center was funded only from the state. Ayers also spoke with Steve Keto, bud­ get director for North Carolina State University.

Hauser admitted AS U has"other needs" but the money offered cannot be used for other projects. "We are not going to get these things from this term of the legisla­ ture." The proposed SAC has raised many questions involving environmental effects of the center. The environmental impact study was rejected by the state. Blimling explained that the study was rejected because of the steam plant. ASU must conduct a one year study to deter­ mine the amount of pollution caused by the steam plant before any additional buildings can be built. If the steam plant is not polluting the environ­ ment, then no remodeling will be needed. Callahan addressed the issue of runoff from the parking lot used for the SAC. "There will be runoff of oil and gas; it only takes one part per million of gas to con­ taminate water." Callahan has encouraged the SGA for over a year to bring the SAC to a vote for students. "I'm worried students won't come out. Youneed to exercise your demo­ cratic rights. Here's your chance; please vote." The turnout for the informational pub­ lic forum was very low, with about 20 students attending the forum. "Either stu­ dents are extremely busy or apathetic," Ayers said. While Bliming would not comment on how Chancellor John Thomas or the Board of Trustees would react to a "no" vote by the students, he did make it evident ASU is committed to build the Student Activity Center. ApptUchUn Photo by Thomas Biggin* LACK OF STUDENT SUPPORT FOR SAC FORUM:"I don't know if students are extremely busy or apathetic,"said Dr. Harvard Ayers, professor of anthropology on why there was a lack of student turnout.Today and tomorrow students can voice their opinion of the SAC by voting in the Student Union or in their residence halls. • C. students march on capital to protest education cuts o*WIAS RIGGINS Li i an News Editor Is of N.C. university students Raleigh last Wednesday to versity budget cuts estimated illion by the state. &00 students swarmed the N.C.

The students jammed the meeting room, hallway and stairwell. Many of them left when police warned them that they were creating a hazard. N.C. Rep. Brad Ligon, R-Rowan, was quoted as saying, "If they mess with me, I'm going to take my belt off, give them a whupping and send them back home." The protest was organized and spon­ sored by the Student Government Asso­ ciations of the 16 universities in the Uni­ versity of North Carolina system.

Misti Triplet, SGA treasurer, said, "We reserved a van but due to lack of interest we cancelled."She said no one from SGA attended the rally. In the end many protesters left frus­ trated. DavidBynum,a University of North Carolina at Charlotte sophomore from Lincolnton, said his representative told him they'd support higher education, but he was dismayed when he overheard an­ other group of legislators "making jokes about just raising tuition." "They just kind of treated us like kids," he said. "I don't know if there's been a mass demonstration like this in awhile," said Michael Calwell from Charlotte. "It goes to show the university system is really hurting." Prior cuts have already hurt the Univer­ sity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and other UNC schools. Calwell said UNC's library system is hurting, classes areover­ sized and some class sections are being eliminated. Calwell and other protestors support a tax increase and shifting money from the state's highway fund to stop education cuts. Appalachian Staff Reports said. Areas that were not hit quite as hard are student fees and receipt-supported opera­ tions, stated Zimmerman. Student fees are being used for additional tasks and receipt-supported operationsare requested to make a grater contribution to the uni­ versity. Around the country the recession has meant fewer course sections, hiring freezes Washington D. C. See ASU page 2 Robinson's proposal called for more classroom teacher cuts in order to spare some administrators. Robinson said it would be easier to make the cuts in the $500 million classroom teacher budget because it is so much larger than the $100 million administrative position budget. According to Robinson this would pre­ vent "massive disruption." Lawmakers urging a reconsideration of their recom­ mendations failed to gain the required two-thirds vote. Beth Hamman, a political science stu­ dent at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte said, she was hopeful that the students felt empowered and that their next goal is to head off a tuition increase. Editor's Note: 'The Charlotte Ob­ server" and Associated Press contributed to this article. Cow Breaks Free Surfing causes deaths "I don't think we've seen the bottom of the barrel," he said. According to Zimmerman, the legisla­ ture proposes each cutback by a specific category, such as a certain scholarship or teaching position. "I want to emphasize that this money has been taken back and this is not an administrative decision, Zimmerman and layoffs. "Becauseof the eliminationofsomany course sections, I was unable to pick up courses in my major that I need m order to graduate," said Susan Lee, a rising senior at ASU. "Some classes were offered in only one section, making them almost impossible to get." More publiccampuses have had to raise prices and cut services recently because of state budget shortfalls. "I think we'll see some major jumps in tuition and fees next year," predicted Ri­ chard Novak of the American Associa­ tion of State Colleges and Universities in Students who made it into the meeting room heard lawmakers consider reopen­ ing their debate over which university budget cuts to recommend to meet the $59.2 million. The proposal was made after UNC Sys­ tem Vice President Jay Robinson said it would be too difficult to make the reduc­ tions the subcommittee had recommended. ApptUchimn Photo by Randall Reinink THE COW IS READY TO PLAY: During RSA week, several activities were sponsored including....COW PATTY BINGO!!! It is not nearly as complicated as it sounds, according to Eggers Hall RA Kerry Claus who described the game as being "wild." Claus said that a portion of Sanford Mall was squared off into sections and then students were allowed to bet on which part the cow would drop his bingo patty on.The cow, who was obviously not as amused as some students, eventually escaped from Sanford Mall and traveled to Blowing Rock Road. An Indiana State University (ISU) stu­ dent was killed March 20 while "elevator surfing," an activity that has become a fad on some college campuses in the last year. Campus officials said they had no idea Michael John Deliduka, a23-year-old jun­ ior fromShalimar, F1a., and other students had been riding on top of elevators for fun until Deliduka was killed. "It was not known that he was engaged in this activity,"said Martin Blank, ISU's director of public information. In the activity, known as elevator surf­ ing, students stand on the top of an eleva­ tor, and then ride up and down the shaft. Sometimes they may try to jump from the top of one elevator to another while they are passing each other. However, according to ASU Chief Jus­ tice DebbieOsterhoudt, "there havenever been any cases of it (elevator surfing) brought before Student Court in the past three years." Osterhoudt had not even heard of el­ evator surfing and said "that's crazy."She added that "I don't think it's possible in our elevators." At Indiana, apparently Deliduka and three other young men used a coat hanger to trip the safety mechanism on the door, allowing access to the elevator shaft. The four boarded one of the building's tow elevators. As they rode, the other elevator became stuck. Deliduka was trying to move from the working elevator to the stuck elevator when it started to move, pinning him between the elevator and the shaft wall. Deliduka died instantly of positional asphy xia, according to Vigo County Coro­ ner Rowland Kohr. Kohr's report also revealed Deliduka had been drinking. ISU officials are planning education programs to help prevent similar trag­ edies in the future. "I think the incident alone will be edu­ cation enough," Blank said. The three students who "surfed" with Deliduka have been offered counseling, and will be brought in for interviews, Blank said. It is not known if they will be disciplined. The ISU incident occurred one year and 10 days after the death of Joel Mangion. an 18-year-old student at the University of Massachusetts, in another elevator surfing accident. Mangion fell 16 stories to his death while trying to jump from one elevator car to another. UMass officials have since taken steps to makeit difficult to get on top of elevator cabs in campus high-rise buildings, said Karin Sherbin, director of UMass's news office. But, Sherbin added, the school can't guarantee an enterprising surfer could not breach its security measures. "The sad truth is that if somebody has a will, there's a way." However there haven't been any re­ ports of students elevator surfing since Mangion's death, Sherbin said. "1 would hope it was a lesson," she said.

ASU Continued from page 1 The nationwide recession, which was announced by the U.S. Treasury in the last week of December, means people and businesses earn less money and conse­ quently pay less in taxes. Without ex­ pected tax revenues, states in turn have less money to give public agenciessuch as schools to operate. Between 35 and 37 states (including North Carolina) will probably cut spend­ ing next year, Novak said.

As a result, he said, states are asking students to pay a greater share of the costs of educating them. Hauptman recalled that state schools made similar increases during the reces­ sion of the early 1980s. At any rate, the end to this situation is nowhere in sight, But Zimmerman said he is hopeful. He said, "Appalachian State Univer­ sity is extremely well managed and our ability to administer state funds will be one of the things that will get us through difficult times." $2 OFF NIKE SHOES OFF REGULAR PRICE WITH COUPON Limit One Coupon Per Customer $10 OFF Expires 4/30/91 $10OF{j WHEN SHADOW PUPPETS WON'T DO MEDIA SERVICES OFFERS YOU...

Carl Poe has been accepted to work at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. This position is applied for by graduate students from many large universities across the nation, and it is an honor to win the job. Poe, who is a second-year graduate student here at ASU, will hold the position of weight room supervisor, where he will work with various Olym­ pic athletes from sports such as field hockey, water polo, weight lifting and many others. Poe's sec­ ondary job will be to create weight programs for the athletes and be their one-on-one instructor throughout their weight training. "I could have done some (small) internship in Raleigh or somewhere close," Poe speculated. "I could have gone to Florida or California." This particular internship, though, will give him expe­ rience working with top notch athletes and help to make his name known to other respected leaders in the field of strength and conditioning. When asked how this internship would help his future, Poe said he would take the experience he gels at the Olympic Training Center and apply it later to his career. Poe then mentioned a number of careers that are available to health and leisure studies majors, including cardiac rehabilitation, adult fitness, teaching, biomechanics and many more. Poe has three personal goals for his career after the internship at the training center. His first goal is to get into a strength and conditioning program Smith is a sophomore English Maiden. N.C. TUESDAY, April 16, 1991 at a university where he can work with college level athletes. His second objective is to work in corporate fitness. Poe said, "Many corporations think about their employee insurance policies." Because of these high insurance policies, corporations are looking for professionals to help their employees stay fit The third personal objective he plans to achieve is earning his doctoral degree. Poe expressed his pride in being a part of the health and leisurestudies, which Dr. David Neiman, an associate professor in the program, pronounced the leading department in research. Poe doesn't think his department gets enough recognition and hopes his winning this internship will show that the school is putting forth quality students in the field of health and leisure studies. "I remember when I called my mom and told her that I got the internship. She was really excited," Poe said. Though he is leaving North Carolina, Poe's family shares in his excitement as he pre­ pares for his trip to Colorado. As Poe said, he could have gotten an internship here, but this opportunity is a major step toward a successful career, and his family recognizes the importance of an internship at the Olympic Training Center. Though he deserves most of the credit, Poe expressed deep appreciation to his professors Dr. Michael Stone and Dr. Harold O'Bryant, who he thanks for his education. "They taught me how to be a professional student and assisted me in getting out there," explained Poe."I think they really want me to be productive." Poe will be leaving for Colorado Springs and the Olympic Training Center in May, and his intern­ ship will begin June 1. Registration continues for fall semester classes By TAMMY PARKS Appalachian Staff Writer "We have registered about 700 students a day. I am pleased with the way registration has gone," said Diane Beach, assistant registrar. Between April 3 and April 8, the Registrar's Office has registered 2,962 students, in comparison to 2,773 at the same time last year. One angry student said,"Once again it is time to register for classes. I never get the classes I want. Never. I wish the school would consider adding more class sections. We are here to learn." According to A. Brooks McLeod, registrar, a basic class plan is sent to the chairman of each individual department. "He or she modifies the sections of the classes offered by anticipating the demand for each class. The amount of freshmen and transfers are anticipated. He or she comes up with a figure and estimates the amount of classes and sections to add," McLeod said. If aclass fills up before a student is able to get in, the registrar suggested two options. First, the stu­ dent can be put on waiting list. Second, the student can go ask a professor if he or she can have permission to join the class. Some departments fill up faster than others. According to Beach, "There is a high demand for classes and a large number of students in the communications department." The core courses in the business department fill up fast because those classes are required to enter the College of Business. The art department also fills quickly because most art classes require labs. The number of seats are fixed depending on the amount of supplies." Beach said, "The Registrar's Office now has a new computer which replaces the old computer sheets on the walls. The computer updates the class closings every two hours. This will give students better or more current information on class open­ ings. There isone computer in the hall of I.G.Greer and two in the registration room. The computer is open 24 hours a day. It has information on summer school and fall classes." "The next step in the registration process will be to put in a telephone system. This will allow students to phone in to register for classes. The system will cost $80,000. The expense is the main delay in implementing the program. However, it is one of our future goals," said McLeod. If you are not happy with your schedule for next fall or if you have decided to attend summer school, the Registrar's Office will be offering schedule adjustment in room 124 I.G. Greer on May 1-3. One senior offered a word of encouragement for his fellow students: "It may seem like you will never get the classes you need. But wait patiently. The higher your status, the better chance you will have of getting the classes you need." >tap«scMsn HI* Phots A DREADED BUT NECESSARY PROCESS: Advanced registration began two weeks ago for students signing up for fall semester classes and will continue through this week. This year, students have access to updated computers so that they can see what classes are still open. New alternatives are being looked into for future years in registering. These alternatives will make registering easier and faster. Area community members show interest in theater By CANDA SMITH Appalachian Staff Writer "South Pacific" was performed in Farthing Au­ ditorium by the Blue Ridge Community Theater on the nights of April 11-13, and a matinee was done on Sunday, April 14. The Blue Ridge Theater invites residents of all ages of Watauga, Avery, Ashe, Mitchell and Catawba counties to partici­ pate in its productions. The Community Theater puts on two types of performances a year. The production in the fall is either a serious drama or a comedy, while in the o" spring, a musical is the usual performance. The theater group has been running for 15 years now, and their record has been very successful. They have put on such musicals as "The Sound of Music," "Annie," "Fiddler on the Roof," and "Pe­ ter Pan," and last year's great feat was "The King and I." Cindy Stoncsifer was the assistant director of "South Pacific" this spring and has been involved with numerous shows in previous years. "We take pride in having as many children as possible in our performances,"said S tonesifer. "Being on the stage helps the children to not be afraid to get out in front of a large audience at the present time and in future / ^ J' ^ J? / v ^ / ' * J? / ^ d^ ^ To drivers who speed through congested areas where there are children playing or many pedestrians. jy r / v ^ J> $ J? ^ To the Panhellenic Council and Student Leadership for spon­ soring the Womens' Leadership Conference last weekend.

I have seen the difference in my own son while he was growing up because he did perform on the stage. Shows like 'Annie' and 'The King and I' serve as an outlet for them." Most of the participants are either from Boone or Banner Elk. There are a variety of professions that the theater gathers. In "South Pacific," there are teachers, a principal, housewives, and a barber, just to name a few. Julie Wilson is a young nurse who was one of the chorus nurses in "South Pa­ cific." Her last show was ten years ago, portraying Brigetta in "The Sound of Music." "I decided to be in 'South Pacific' this year because my mother and father are both playing lead roles," said Wilson. Nancy Man gum is one of the co-producers of "South Pacific." She has produced 12 of the musi­ cals. "My job includes everything but directing, and I have to find people who will do what they say they'll do.This production has been very smoothly run. Our largest expense is the cost of using Far­ thing Auditorium. I just wish that it wouldn't cost as much as itdid. I'm glad that Farthing is available for our use." Rick Harrison, who has been working with the community theater for years, is now leaving to work for a professional theater. His absence will be disappointing to all of the Blue Ridge Community Theater members.

Mountaineer hoopsters sign three recruits By WILL ROTHSCHILD Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian State picked up its third basketball recruit of the year and first of the spring signing period last Wednesday when Geoff Richards from Charlotte Latin High School inked to play for the Mountaineers. Richards, a 6'7", 215-pound forward, averaged 26.6 points and 14.3 rebounds per game and was named Most Valuable Player of the state tournament as a senior while leading his team to a 32-2 record and the private school state champion­ ship. "Some would be suspicious of his numbers because he played in the small-school division," ASU Head Coach Tom Apke said. "But we saw him play two straight summers in AAU competi­ tion and he played great and he was on North Carolina's AAU national team." Richards led the state in rebounding during his senior year and was named to the all-state team. Richards, a strong inside player, complements the two perimeter-oriented players ASU signed during the fall. William Cook, a 6' guard from Lexington, Ky. and Tom Burt, a 6'6" swingman from Lincoln, Neb. will both add strong outside shooting to ASU. Cook spent his senior year at Oak Hill Academy in Oak Hill, Va. "Cook is a very, very athletic player," Apke said. "He has won dunk contests at various camps and is an excellent three-point shooter. He played as a forward in Lexington and so he went to Oak Hill this year because he wanted to get backcoun experience." According to Apke, Burt is also an excellent perimeter player and three-point shooter. He was an all-state player in Nebraska this year. "(ASU assistant coach) Chris Ferguson likens him to Burt Elder and I think that is a tremendous attribute to Burt's ability and potential," Apke said. Elder, who transferred from Davidson to V anderbilt, isone of the top three point shooters in the Southeastern Conference. Despite the overall talent of all three Mountain­ eer signees, Apke said not to expect any of them to step in right away next year. "I think with such a veteran team returning next year, not any one of the three kids is going to have to play right away and there is the possibility that none of the three will play much at all," Apke said. "I think that is a luxury though in not having to rely on freshmen to come in and play right away." Appalachian will return seven of this year's top eight players and four of five starters next year. All-conference performer Steve Spurlock, along with all-tourney selections Tim Powers and Broderick Parker return along the frontline. Also returning are all-tournament guard Billy Ross and forward Ricky Nedd who was runner-up in the voting for the Southern Conference Rookie of the Year. Those five, who all averaged in double Figures, give ASU more returning depth than any other team in the SC. However, that has proven to be a double-edged sword for Apke and his staff this recruiting season. "A lot of kids want to be shown that they can come in and start their freshmen season, and that's something we just can't do," Apke said. "We've been hurt by the fact that everybody we recruit against is telling these players 'Don't go to ASU, you won't get to play there.'" There are other perennial problems Apke not e d t h a t h a v e h u r t r e c r u i t i n g e f f o r t s a t A p SU. "One of the things that hurts us is the fact that our league doesn't get the national exposure and our area as a whole isn't a big population belt," Apke explained. "The first thing that a kid asks when you go to visit his parents is 'how many times are we going to be on TV?' They want to play on TV so their family and friends back home can see them play." Despite all that, Apke has been successful in collecting one of the strongest arrays of talent in the Southern Conference. This year's recruiting class appears to be no different and there is a good chance that the Mountaineers will land at least one more recruit before the sign­ ing period is over. Last weekend, Chad McClendon, a 6'7" forward from Madisonville, Tenn., visited the Appalachian State campus. Shawn Smith, a 6'6" forward from Gaslonia's Hunter Huss High School, is scheduled to visit ASU the weekend of April 27-28. Smith made second-team all-state in leading his team to the Western Regional finals.

John Settle, who starred at running back for the Mountaineers from 1983 to 1986, hooked up with the Washington Redskins, whileplace-kicker Bjom Nittmo joined the Montreal Machine of the new World League of American Football. Settle, who was left un­ protected by the Atlanta Falcons after four years of service, inked a twoyear deal with the Redskins reported to be worth Sl.l million. He held negotiations with at least 10 teams, in­ cluding San Francisco, Miami, Green Bay and San Diego before signing with Washington. Settle joins former Fal­ con teammate Gerald Riggs with the Redskins. Settle replaced Riggs in Atlanta's starting lineup in 1988 when Riggs was sidelined with a knee injury. Settle, ASU's all-time leading rusher with 4,645 yards, was not drafted in 1987, but made the Falcons as a non-roster player. He led the Falcons in rushing (1,024 yards) and receiving (68 receptions for 570 yards) in 1988, becoming the first undrafted player to rush for 1,000 yards since the NFL and AFL joined in 1970. Settle again topped the Falcons in both catego­ ries in 1989, gaining 689 yards on the ground and 316 through the air. But 1990 bought former Houston coach Jerry Glanville into Atlanta, and Settle's playing time dwindled. He appeared in just five games last season, carrying the pigskin nine times for 16 total yards. Settle has gained 1.801 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground for his career has hauled in 118 receptions for an ad­ ditional 1,039 yards and three touch­ downs. Settle was a twotime All-American at Appalachian. Heowns 31 school records and 19 Southern Confer­ ence records. Nittmo, the Moun­ taineers' all-lime scoring leader with 277 points, has earned the starting nod for the Montreal entry in the WLAF. Nittmo, an All-American with the Apps in 1988, served with the New York Giants of the National Football League. U Settle was a two-time AilAmerican at Appalachian. He owns 31 school records and 19 Southern Conference records. 99 Editor s note: ' The Watauga Democrat" con­ tributed to this article. �The Appalachian Tuexdn\ \prili6 iooj Classifieds .Write a letter to (PROFESSIONAL WORD PROCESSORS/TYPISTS The Appalachian' • Resumes and Cover Letters .

To begin with, this building, which is supposed to have lots of classroom space, appears to have a bunch of offices, a big arena, a smaller court for intramural sports and one auditorium. I suppose you could use the audito­ rium for a lecture hall. Maybe when we get through with budget cuts, the few remaining faculty will have to lecture to course sections that will require an 11,500-seat arena. However, as nearly as 1 can tell, there aren't any classrooms. It goes without saying that we need to build more classroom and 1aboratory space,but more room for sports isn't something that should have much priority. Frankly, they don't have much to do with academics, which is the university's raison d'etre. My own department (psychol­ ogy) is in a building that was built by the WPA. It needs more room for classes and a lot more room for labs if we We By RONNY RICHARDSON Appalachian Staff Writer Many years ago, a famous politician from California died. There were a large number of colleagues at his funeral ser­ vice. After the service, one of the visitors remarked that it was easy to understand the large group who had come to pay their respects to the controversial figure. "You see," he offered,"half of them came to pay their respects, and the other half came to make sure he was dead." Probably the same could be said for former Republican National Chairman Lee Atwater who recently died of a brain tu­ mor. Atwater was considered many things by many different people. He was loved and hated, adored and despised, respected and the object of contempt. But all stu­ dents of the American political system should agree he was a genius with a zeal for victory which he brought to every situation he encountered. The mastermind behind George Bush's 1988 landslide victory over Michael Dukakis was characterized by a hard­ hitting, never-let-up style often criticized as inappropriate and too divisive. He was accused of distorting the truth and ex­ ploiting fear and hatred for partisan ad­ Develop solar cars which can go 70 mph vantage. At more than one point in his short but illustrated career, he was ac­ cused of inciting racism into campaigns. Probably the most famous incident was the infamous Willie Horton campaign which probably did more than anything else to deny Mike Dukakis thepresidency. Atwater rose from graduating from a small college in his native South Carolina to being the man who more than anyone else shaped the campaign tactics and is­ sues of contemporary American politics. At the age of 38, he assumed the com­ mand of the Republican National Com­ mittee and became the youngest man ever to head either of our major parties. He appeared to have abright future in frontof him. Younger political junkies across America looked to Atwater as an example of a man who had made it in big time politics without the benefit of family con­ nections or Ivy League introduction. But the attacks on his character never ceased, not even in the end. Atwater did not do much to deflect criticisms of his abrasive style. "While I did not invent negative politics, I am among its ardent practitio­ ners," he once quipped without a twinge of sarcasm or remorse. However, with the news that he had an inoperable brain tumor, Atwater began to include wind power in addition to solar energy. A solar car would have to run dependably on cloudy days and carry sufficient power. I realize that even under the best conditions, only so much sunlight falls on the solar panels. In return, only so much current can be generated, hence, a maximum speed using cells alone. It seems a miracle that certain forms of silicon as well as substances like gallium-arsenide can produce electric current when struck by sunlight. I realize it will be a long time before solar cars roll out of local showrooms, but it is something to consider and get started on for America's future. To the Editor: f'r// /T-w' t t V r Editor's note: Materials from PASE were used in preparing this article. reconsidering his philosophy on life. He found solace in his final months in his faith in God. He sought out anyone whom he felt he had wronged over the years and apologized. He spoke to many people about how he had realized the futility of his actions and more than anything else, he hoped America would leant from his mistakes and not fall into the same traps. Many people were cynical of Atwater and some even continued their assault after his death. As a partisan Democrat, I was in the minority in my party when he was still alive because despite the differ­ ence in our political philosophies, I genu­ inely liked Atwater. Friends of Atwater said as a young political consultant he wanted to "make all those Yale and Harvard types swallow their pride and come crawling to a Carolina boy." He reached his goaJ in 1988 as GOP chair­ man. For many years to come I'm sure many Republicans will praise the victories of the old Lee Atwater while Democrats will scorn his deeds and his arrogance. But the biggest lesson Atwater left us was not from any of his political campaigns, but from his campaign to save his life. He eventually lost the battle, but not before his soul searching and introspection taught him many valuable lessons that students of politics in both parties can profit from to the betterment of our political process. In the end he discovered that victory is hollow if there is no pride in how it was obtained. He learned that "naked cruelty" toward your opponent does nothing to enhance a campaign, but only destroys human relationships. He learned that dis­ tortion of facts only manipulates voters and does nothing to enhance democracy. It took tremendous courage for Atwater to admit his mistakes to the world. There may now be a tendency by many who idolized him to hear of his change of heart and conclude that his life was a lie and we have nothing to leant from him. This would be a grave error. In the final months of his life, Atwater realized that his brand of politics was leading to an increase in voter cynicism and apathy. If others can learn this lesson, it is not too late to clean up American politics and bring respect to this noble institution. Lee Atwater did his part. We must now do ours. As for Atwater himself, his life was one constant battle for victory as well as peace. The first came easy to him, the second eluded him for many years. In the end he finally found it I for one am glad. He deserved it. Solar answers cry for new power G]\je Dogs Zornorph,meOn£ Cotet By Alight to ^ [Vef.org, uesiroyeroT Cats ]f/ f fh;s ,/ s p nrirtCerss bheewannA Destroyer of \ h ; s S n c < ss SheeMra, Wp Devourer of CKatensJ RarKer of Great hwyance: ard Graduate students have their own separate graduate senate that isn't connected with the larger SGA. The graduate senate, as I understand it, doesn 't get tohave any effect on the resolutions considered by the SGA. The SGA's resolutions are non-binding as far as the administration isconcerned, but they do generally tend to take the SGA halfway seriously when making their decisions. It's better than democracy in Kuwait, but we still have a ways to go. So when the SGA considers a bill regarding fees and the like, graduate students, who pay the same fees and tuition that any other student here pays, aren't repre­ sented. This is hardly fair. It is like taxation without "presentation, the reason we had arevolution in the first place. Another thing about the fees that really gets me is the fact that fees go to ward the textbook rental system, which graduate students don't get to use. We have to buy our books, and for those of you who haven't, it is quite an expense. There is also an additional$15 graduate fee. The Nerd Tax is what I like to call it, but Istill don't know why I have to pay it Is it possible for the graduate senate to join the SGA and participate in student government at large? Could we have our textbook rental fee go to the library, which we probably use a great deal more on average than under­ graduates? There are about 750graduate students at ASU who are paying the same amount of money, getting less return on their dollar and not being represented in SGA. It probably would be no exaggeration to say that this system has features that are not entirely unlike apartheid. Surely student government will be more effective if all of the students are working together. I keep having visions of angry grad students throwing tea in the Duck Pond. Politician's legacy burns brightly today By GARY LARSON "•HE FAR SIDE The Names By JOSEPH RAYLE Appalachian Staff Writer are ever to be able to meet the needs of people coming here to study psychology in the future. Another thing that is pretty strange is how the SAC is going to be paid for. Do you know how much of student fees went for the Dean Dome at UNC-Chapel Hill or the building at Western Carolina? Zilch. Nada. These were all paid for in other ways. Why are we being treated differently ai ASU? During the course of this meeting I began wondering how I could make a difference in what is going on with this SAC. It would seem that in the past, efforts have focused on changing the administration's position with respect to the SAC. The more effective way to go about it, according to former town council member Saul Chase, is for us to get in contact with our representatives at the state level.They're the ones who control the state's purse strings, and in these cash-hungry times, they're looking for ways to save. A S24 million price lag is a lot of bread, even for the government. Seven hundred thousand dollars has already been collected in the form of student fees for this monstrosity. One hundred and three thousand dollars is needed to sustain the library at its present level. Instead, $10,000 has been cut. But we have all of this money that could be going to some use just silting there. Other legitimate academic departments such as anthropology, biology, chemistry, IDS and sociology only got a fraction of the $130,000 they requested for the '91-'92 academic year. Anthropology and IDS got nothing. ASU has been collecting $80 a year for the SAC. To top this off, the SGA approved an increase to $110 starting in the fall. That's $110 a year that those of us who are putting ourselves through school could use for frivo­ lous activities like eating and paying rent. I suppose that deep down the SGA has noble inten­ tions. I could get into a heavy critique of the SGA, but I haven't ever voted in an SGA election. Neither has any other graduate student at ASU. That's because we can't. My motive for writing is to spur the development of solar powered cars here in Boone. Energy-saving and alternateenergy technology needs to be stimu­ lated in our area as well as in our country. Recently, the nation had its largest-ever race for vehicles propelled solely by power from the sun's rays. Science and engineering students from 32 American and Canadian colleges and universities built innovative cars which were capable of reaching speeds up to 70 mph. Solar power cars can be made economically, but first we need improvements in aerodynamics, light­ weight materials, and motor technology. Some designs have already been made Sarah Westmoreland ASU Box 15776 Unacceptable behavior shouldn't be condoned To the Editor: I would like to address your recent "storm" of pro-gay articles with a rebuttal to the Queer Nation slogan, "We're here, we're queer, get used to it." I, as I'm sure many other straight students on this campus, would have to respond, "You're here, you're queer, who cares!" I do not deny that prejudice exists toward the gay community. Nor do I deny that gays should benefit from the same basic rights and freedoms as I or any other straight individual. But, as bad as it is, prejudice will continue to exist as long as humanity exists. Screaming one's sexual orientation for all to hear will make it worse. The article, "Homosexuality is normal and acceptable," submitted in the Tuesday, March 26 issue of "The Appalachian" by Gary Hartz on behalf of SAGA stressed equal acceptance of homosexuality, biscxuality and heterosexuality. However, in the same article, Hartz suggested that the U.S. take the same position on homosexual­ ity as Denmark and Sweden, two countries that make the statement, "homosexuals must be protected and supported by the state as a distinct minority with special concerns." How can homosexuals be equally accepted and at the same time be given "special concerns?" Personally, I do not care (and would prefer not to hear) what goes on behind closed doors. I have yet to see an advocate of heterosexuality stand up and demand special attention for his or sexual preference. To quote Scott E. Schnegelberger's letter to the editor in the Tuesday, March 26 issue of "The Appalachian," "It's a choice, plain and simple." Heterosexuals choose a certain lifestyle, live it, and ask no recognition for it. Homosexuals also choose a certain lifestyle. If they happen to find that way of life hard to live, perhaps they should reconsider the choice that was made. At the risk of sounding unsympathetic, I, for one, am tired of hearing homosexual advocates demanding acceptance. I absolutely refuse to accept something as unnatural as homosexuality. Though I am not in favor of the gay bashing, lesbian rapes and other "heinous crimes" that James Davis Jr., addresses, I cannot in good Christian faith accept homosexuality. Mark C. Pedro ASU Box 12291 Soul idea is false; brain is physical To the Editor (Regarding Chris Oates' article on "Life") The human body is physical only. The brain has chemicals that are required for it to function. These chemicals come from foods. Mental illr.esses are physical brain chemical imoalanccs and are not helped by the drugs they call anti-depressants and other drugs used by mental health See LETTERS page 8 �The Appalachian Tm-idav April I FT JOOJ tumm Letters Continued from page 7 "Love" will stop silly sex feuding workers. These drugs stop the brain from functioning. Behavior mode and vitamins and nutrition are the only ways to help people with so-called mental illnesses. All illnesses are physical in cause. The brain is like a computer. The former Mrs. Johnny Carson did a TV program in Georgia called "Alvin and Will." She was addicted to anti­ depressants and told about the fact that anti-depressants don't work and that they were not the problem anyway. i' i ' • To the Editor Has this gay and non-gay issue not gone far enough? I think it has, and we all seem to be forgetting something very important. We seriously need to start thinking about a theory that goes beyond what one's sexual preference is. It should be irrelevant. We all must learn to live together in total peace. Judy E. Byland Lot #11 Clawson s Mobile Home Park because if we do not, these problems will only get worse. We are in this world together, and the gods surely meant for us to love people regardless of their way of living. What I am proposing is a truce—not for a few days, but for the rest of our lives. All people are beautiful. If we cannot find beauty in one's sexual lifestyle, then look at another aspect of this person. Maybe he or she has something important to contribute to society. Remember, it takes every kind of person to make this world so wonderful, so let's make the best of a good situation.

The fumes get into the ventilation system and are spread throughout the ig _ punding was cut to upgrade the ventilation system in February. Ventilation problems in Wey Hall are causing some students and faculty to ex­ perience headaches, nausea and even di­ arrhea. Various fumes and odors are released into the air by the many paints, thinners, lacquers and turpentines used by art stu­ dents for their classes. These fumes get into the ventilation system, and are dis­ tributed throughout the floor and often the entire building,says Dr.Evan Rowe,safety officer. "When they begin painting class at 8 a.m., we sure know it," says an em­ ployee of theCollege of Fine and Applied Arts on the third floorof Wey Hall. "Smell­ ing the paint thinner puts an awful taste in your mouth you can't get rid of." According to Dr. Marianne Suggs, chairman of the art department, the prob­ lem became apparent very soon after moving into the building in 1976. Suggs also said renovation of the ventilation system has been on the list of faculty requests for a number of years, and on the list of improvements since at least 1985. "I would certainly hope this is consid­ ered a priority issue by now," Suggs said. Dr. Ming Land, dean of the College of Fine and Applied Arts, found his role was to push for funding when he was ap­ pointed dean two years ago. On Jan. 12,1990, the Board of Gover­ nors of The University of North Carolina approved $92,700 for the Wey Hall ven­ tilation project. This amount was enough to cover renovation of the first floor and part of the second floor. Various steps were taken to get the project in motion such as selection of an engineering firm, design development and a review of working drawings by univer­ sity and slate agencies. Feb. 11,1991 brought a notice that the funding for the project was being reverted to the office of state budget and manage­ ment. "I know the university is not un­ aware of this problem, but it is sad to revert this money that is so badly needed back to the state," Land said. According to Rowe, adjustments have been made to allow as much outside air as possible toenter the building, and without funding there is nothing else that can be done. Rowe makes visits to Wey Hall peri­ odically as part of his job, but on a few occasions he has been called to deal with sudden occurrences. In onesuch instance, the drains and filters were being cleaned with chemicals so strong that several pro­ fessors cancelled classes. Rowe says they are using a new cleaning system with safer aspects,but strong industrial-strength chemicals are often needed to flush out paints and other products that end up down the drain. The dark room in Wey Hall was not originally intended to be a dark room, and therefore does not have the proper venti­ lation in itself. The fixer that is used to develop film is stored and hauled away. The developer, however, is flushed down the sink with lots of running water Rowe said. Students and faculty alike arc aware of the problem and how they are affected by it, according to WASU employee Jeff Piercey who works on the third floor of Wey Hall, "I always have aheadache after being in this building for awhile."As soon as you walk in the building, the smell instantly hits you," Piercey said. "I feel responsible for providing a safe working environment for students and faculty, and I don't feel we arc doing so," Suggs said. Those working on this project are hopeful that there will be funding available in July, but with the state of the economy, they just aren't sure, Rowe said. campus fundraising policy enforces stricter regulations DO HODGE c h i stxi Staff Writer >s and organizations around rriay be facing stricter regula> "their methods of earning «<=«=ording to Nancy Jones, leadsP><=-<:ialist for student involve~»cl leadership.

The new policy, which will affect all 180 clubs on campus, has been updated considerably. It was presented to and ap­ proved by the Coordinating Council of Clubs at the end of March. The next step is to get approval by Vice Chancellor Greg Blimling. The new policy states: "For thecomfort and convenienceof all students, the safety and protection of their personal property, and their privacy, no soliciting is allowed in the residence halls, classroom build­ ings or on the campus of ASU unless properly authorized. No solicitation of funds from the student body except in compliance with the guidelines stated in this policy. For the purpose of enforce­ ment, the following definitions as pro­ posed by the Coordinating Council of Clubs and approved by the chancellor, have been established to strengthen club solicitation guidelines." Jones said that one of the major rule changes in the policy is that now contact tables at any location on campus must be staffed by members of the club who re­ serve it at all times, regardless if the club is sponsoring either a profit or non-profit organization. In the past, corporations have come to campus and set up contact tables claiming to be sponsored by a campusoriented organization, but actually not being affiliated with them at all.This new regulation is to prevent this from happen­ ing. Another new rule is that clubs must apply to set up contact tables at least five days in advance.This will lessen the pres­ sure on the facility where the table will be. r «w child center to open in fall r ^ ^ ER ROSS E* i an Staff Writer tions are currently underway *0-6 acre tract ., Et by ASU to be the permanent ASU Child Care Center.

"My focal point is for the students," Eller says."We are here so theycan attend school and still be assured that they have quality child care." Sen^te Leisure studies students are designing a playground for the new center. "Hopefully a campus group such as a fraternity or a sorority will adopt us and help subsidize this," Eller adds. Parent interaction with the center has led to the donation of everything from milk cartons to a video camera.

Solicitation by clubs in classroom building lobbies is prohibited unless it is approved by academic affairs or the appropriate building manager. Basically, Jones said, the new policy will stipulate what, when, where and how long a fund-raising activity by a club or organization on campus will take place. Any violation of this policy will cause the violator to be subject to disciplinary ac­ tion through the Coordination Council of Clubs. hea^s Plai1 Levin updates SGA on publicity policy Sandy Feutz, PAL's president, spoke at the meeting and described the organization's goals and purposes.

"I would like to see the child development center and the educationdepartment be able to use us more," she said. According to Eller, integration with other programs such as an occasional visit to Bryan Estates will be an additional benefit. "This is a good integration of elder care and child care for the student staff and the children," Eller says. Eller hopes that animals, including a pig, will be donated so the children can feed them from the garden that they will plant at the new site.

In the past, there were no stipulations about this. Also, door-to-door solicitation of products and services by organizations will be strictly prohibited under the new policy.

However, Secretary of State James Baker cautioned that the pro­ posal was still m the early stages of development. Baker still has to obtaui support from the Arabs about the idea. "There is a lone lone way to go," Baker said. A meeting attended by Israel, Arab nations, ralestuuans, and the Soviet Union would end the deadlock that has prevented progression in the Middle East.

There are no problems (at ASU) that I know of," said Maury Kennedy, Interfraternity Council president, commenting on the charges that national fraternities have re­ cently faced for hazing. According to Kennedy, no charges of hazing have occun-ed this year. The last incident involving hazing occured two years ago when a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon was found guilty and the entire fraternity was placed on probation. "Hazing does go on, but it is in milder forms, "said Kathy Ferguson, Panhellenic treasurer. "We've never really had a problem with anything that severe, she continued. Both Kennedy and Ferguson maintain that the ASU greek community projects a much more positive image than at other universities. "Our greek system does a better job of communicating the positive aspects of greek life," Kennedy said. Kennedy noted that in one week alone four separate fraternities sponsored sev­ eral community projects, ranging from sponsoring a little league baseball team to an Easter egg hunt for special children. According to Kennedy, this type of week is not unusual for fraternal organizations. A greek housing community, which currently does not exist at ASU, would also help prevent problems such as haz­ ing, Kennedy and Ferguson said. "The greek community would cut do wn on prob­ housing. Other campuses across the nation havepunished fraternities for hazing, leav­ ing chapters devastated and reformers wondering what to do next to stop the practice. "We're sharing our message every way we can," said Jonathan Brant of the India­ napolis-based National Interfraternity Council, which has campaigned to stop hazing. "Somehow people still make bad decisions." Since Feb. 1, for example, fraternities at Alfred State, Baylor, Vanderbilt and Seton Hall universities as well as at Whittier College have been disciplined for hazing. tuesdays and thursdays.

Now Alfred State officials have formed a commission to decide what, if any, kind of future frater­ nities should have at the school. The recent punishmentsof greekhouses, moreover, were preceded earlier in the school year by rebukes of frat pledging and party activitiesat Trinity and Western Illinois universities, the universities of Akron, Idaho, Maryland and New Mexico, as well as Long Island University's C. W. Post campus. Frustrated by the ongoing injuries and sanctioned crimes involved in the pledg­ ing process, a number of schools have moved to restrict and even abolish frater­ nities on their campuses in recent years, including Colby College in Maine, Amherst College in Massachusetts, Middlebury College in Vermont and Bucknell University in Pennsylvania. Sororities and fraternities themselves also have tried for many years to end hazing, defined as the physical or mental abuse of a person or persons by others in a group. "We are encouraging our member fra­ ternities to do whatever is appropriate to eliminate hazing,"said the NIFC's Brant. Some fraternities, including Zeta Beta Tau and Tau Kappa Epsilon, have elimi­ nated the pledge period altogether, when most hazing incidents occur. A similar plan has been proposed for societies at Whittier College in California. On Feb. 15, a faculty committee, meet­ ing to discuss two students' complaints that they had been hazed last fall, recom­ mended societies at the school end pledg­ ing. : <" "We recognize there are certain affilia­ tion ceremonies that are meaningful," explained Joe Price, a religious studies professor who was on the committee, but "attempts at reform (in the pledging pro­ cess) have not been successful," he con­ tinued. Pledging should be replaced by a "brief and legal initiation process which affirms the sanctity and uniqueness of each per­ son," said a statement released by the faculty committee.

The band has gone from a strippedown Velvet Underground-inspired minimalism to a full-textured and color­ ful sound that has led some to compare them with the wider and endless series of R.E.M. clones wandering across the mu­ sical landscape. Their new album, 'Time For a Witness," represents somethingof a return to their roots, with more dissonant guitars and rougher edges. Nevertheless, it is quite listenable, catchy and exhilarat­ ing. It is refreshing to find a band that is more into its artistic integrity than its bank account.

The underground scene from which they came has long since mutated into a mesh of noise/thrash/gra­ tuitous distortion, but if you listen hard enough, it's still possible to hear that down-to-earth simplicity that the Feelies turned so many on to. Feelies shows are high-energy exhila­ rating events. They are one of the few bands around that can break into a con­ vincing Velvet'scover,capturing the spirit and the vibe of that band's sometimes roaring, sometimes ethereal approach.The musicianship, rhythmic diversity andgen­ eral intensity of the Feelies combine to form quite a sonic treat. Opening act Chickasaw Muddpuppies are touring behind their recently released, "Eight-Track Stomp," which recently earned a three-star review in "Rolling Stone." The album, produced by blues legend Willie Dixon and R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe, is far from the standard fare coming out of Athens these days.Flat Duo Jets notwithstanding. The duo of Brandt Slay and Ben Reynolds have taken a music form that's often revived but seldom expanded upon and turned it into something new, vital and exciting. "Roll­ ing Stone"calls them"Scraggly new south bohemians who play suburban blues." Both the Feelies and the Chickasaw Muddpuppies deliver invigorating and exhilarating shows and are a welcome relief from the standard fare ofTop40 and much of the mediocrity that masquerades as alternative music.

'Time For a Witness" is the Feelies latest effort, which contains dissonant Wisdom. guitars and rougher edges. - E.M. exhibits versatility on latest release, "Out of Time" 5 A BULLOCK chian Staff Writer M - l~*as done it again. Athens, Ga. 's = sons return with "Out of Time," atest and perhaps most personal o date. entire feel of "Out of Time" is tucly different from anything this as e-ver done before. Throughout urn „ everything from horn and ins to harpsichord and mando­ lin is heard. Kate Pierson of the B-52's fame lends soaring background vocals to three of the album's tracks, and KRSOne of Boogie Down Productions lays down a funky hip-hop rap to the album's opening number, "Radio Song." Also vis­ ible on "Out of Time" is former dB's leader Peter Holsapple, who accompanies the band onguitar and bass throughout the album. R.E.M. vocalist MichaelStipe has been quoted as saying that in the past his lyrics have been overly personal, but he says not to worry."I know what I'm doing; I'm not opening myself up that much. There's fabrication involved. Some people con­ nect, some don't." However, on "Out of Time," Stipe seems to truly bare his soul, delivering often cynical yet extremely revealing feel­ ings of dread and loneliness in"Low" and "Half a World Away," and even hope and happiness in "Shiny Happy People." In a refreshing move, R.E.M.'s band members mix up the norm a little by switching instruments. Bassist Mike Mills Looking for your cue? tries his hand at organ and harpsichord, guitarist Peter Buck moves to mandolin, and drummer Bill Berry becomes a bass player and at the same time a singer on three of the album's tracks. Berry's vocals are prominently displayed throughout "Out of Time," as are the vocals of Mike Mills, adding a welcome change to the classic R.E.M. sound. As for Michael Stipe/his Vocals have never sounded betj ter. "Out of Time" finds Stipe singing with more convincing accuracy, exerting surety, power and control. The mount­ ing emotion in his voice cannot be denied, making the album even harder to resist. As a whole, I am highly impressed with R.E.M.'s latest effort. The tracks con­ tained on "Out of Time" are not typical of R.E.M., a sure sign that the band is allowing itself to expand and grow both musically andspiritually. R.E.M. has taken a chance in releasirtg'an album that seems to be out of sequence, with a steady varia­ tion between rock songs and string melo­ dies. If reaction to the album's lead-off single and video is any indication of the accep­ tance of R.E.M.'s new avenues, then "Out of Time" will surely surpass each of their seven past albums. "Losing My Religion" has brought R.E.M. back to us, and in a big way. Thanks to the video's heavy rotation on MTV and a loyal fan follow­ ing, the R.E.M. entity continues to grow. Not bad for ah any thing-goes band froln Athens, Ga., who have no intention of doing things other than in their own, some­ what eccentric way. "Galactic Hero" is trashy sci-fi Volume IV of Harrison's series sends Bill off to do police work By DOV SHERMAN Appalachian Staff Writer "Bill realized he had a bad habit of losing body parts. The thought depressed him greatly, and he flicked a tear from one moist eye. He had lost what used to be his left arm through no fault of his own while becoming a Galactic Hero. That's what war is all about. That it had been replaced with a right arm, a nice black one that belonged to a friend of his—it gave Bill something to remember him by—was something that he had grown quite used to, even fond of. He was attached to his new arm and was always inventing new fun things to do with it."

Extreme is a band hailed by critics and shunned by MTV and radio. It is quite hard to understand. Think about some of the bands who have had their careers boosted from air play on MTV: Faith No More, Warrant, Nelson, Wilson Phillips, M.C. Hammer, Vanilla Ice. The Black Crowes, and the list goes on. Faith No More and Chris Isaa were around for years before MTV caught on to "Epic" and "Wicked Game" and now they are superstars because of one video. It's not too hard to see that MTV plays favorites with careers too. MTV is known for playing videos every hour and wear­ ing them out. MTV has also caused groups to wait longer to release follow-up al­ bums. Record companies use MTV to their adv antage, releasing more songs and more videos in an effort to soak the albums for ev ery dime they can get. The B1ack Crowes have released five videos off their debut album! M.C. Hammer, Paula Abdul, Janet Jackson, Warrant and Motley Crue have See MTV page 6 For example, in the first chapter. Com­ mander Cook states that war "Makes men out of boys, women out of girls, heros out of cowards, dogs out of cats." Bill, whose exploits and exploitation persist through the series, is a trooper in the Imperial Galactic Army. Since his enlistment, he has not only lost an arm, but also a foot, which is repeatedly re­ placed with various mutations of animal feet due to a shortage of human feet When he becomes an officer, he is privileged enough to have fangs from his old Drill Sergeant Deathwish Drang im­ planted. He fights the dreaded Chingers, seven-foot tall, four-armed reptiles of in­ human strength that eat babies for lunch— with Tabasco. And all he really wants is to become a technical fertilizer operator. Bill's character seems responsibly re­ alistic, especially in contrast to the other characters like clones, Larry, Moe and Curly. And, it is with Bill that we are meant to identify. Bill tries to find reason while trying to save his hide. He knows the war with the Chingers is a farce be­ cause his best friend is a Chinger. Eager Beager the Chinger is seven inches tall and from a peace loving race. Bill, the perpetual underdog and archetypal hero, tries to speak out against the prejudice against the Chingers but realizes toooften that the other troopers fall for the propa­ ganda 100 percent. The story co-stars Bruiser, a big, inar­ ticulate lug who carries an axe he calls "Slasher," and Rambette, an obvious Sigoumey Weaver parody.These two are the first prisoners Bill meets aboard the ship, and he becomes a bit nervous about them. But, they become buddies in the end.

A good video is nice, but music is meant to be listened to.

The numerous puns and literalisms in the book add up to a lot of fun. And with the tone set right away, the puns are not annoying but, rather, expected. Harrison and Haldeman spice up the dialogue with one-liners, sarcasm and irony. TONIGHT • Film • "The Golem" • 7 & 9:30 p.m. • I.G.

Tom Meacham, an ASU assis­ tant coach was found dead Friday morning. "We thought it would be better to go and play than sit around here and think about it the whole weekend," Morris said. "Looking back, I think it was a good decision. There's no way to get thatoff your mind that quick, but it was a distraction for awhile." The Mountaineers captured the first game of a doubleheader Saturday, 4-3. Johnny McCraw went three-for-four for the Apps, including a two-run homer in the top of the seventh inning. Third baseman Will Shellman went a perfect four-for-four for ASU. Danny Willis notched the complete game vic­ tory for the Apps, raising his record to 5-3 on the season. Catamount reliever Brad Tweedlie took the loss for Western Carolina. The loss was the first conference defeat of the season for Western Carolina, who had won their first nine league encounters. Western captured the second game of the day, 41 as Jack Kimel hurled a four-hitter. Chris Smith was saddled with the loss for the Apps. Tony McCabe slammed his third home run of the season for the Mountaineers, to provide the Apps with their only run of the contest. Western Carolina held an 11 -4 lead on the Apps in Sunday's clash, but the Mountaineers stormed back with five eighth-inning runs to pull within two, 11-9. The Catamounts plated four runs in the bottom of the eighth to push the final margin to 15-9. Phillip Grundy recorded hiseighth vic tory of the season for the Cats. ASU's Avery Wagoner took the defeat and fell to 0-2 on the season. "They're good and considering the circum­ stances, I thought we played well," Morris said of his team's effort "I think we earned respect for fighting through and playing these games." Appalachian returned home on Tuesday and throttled Davidson, 11 -4, in a game that was called early due to thunderstorms in the eighth inning. Catcher Randy Debruhl went tliree-for-four with four RBIs to lead the Mountaineers. Second baseman John Key rapped out two hits and scored two runs for the Mountaineers. Appalachian scored four times after two outs were recorded in the first inning. McCraw singled home Key for the game's first run, and later scored on Joe Bernard's base hit. Debruhl belted a tworun double to put the Apps comfortably ahead 4-0. The Mountaineers added another run in the second when Davidson pitcher Jim Stanfill gave up a bases-loaded walk to McCraw. Stanfill was replaced by Andy Paul, who pro­ ceeded to retire the first 10 App batters he faced. Paul's pitching allowed Davidson to creep back into the contest. The Wildcats scored a run in the fourth and then added three more in the fifth to climb back within 5-4. Paul began to tire in the seventh frame and ASU was able to push four more runs across the plate to See ASU page 8 Appalachian photo by Rao Booaloy F OLLOWING PICK-OFF: ASU first baseman Joe Bernard comes up clean after applying the tag to Davidson bascrunner Dan Cotton for a third-inning pick-off play Tuesday.

This jump gave Hill second place and named her to the NCAA provisional standard qualifying list. Injuries nag Lady Apps By WILL ROTHSCHILD Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian Slate women's tennis team is off to a 5-6 start this season. Just like their counterparts on the men's squad, the women have been forced toendure injuries and inexperience this season. Most recently, the Lady Apps fell to East Ten­ nessee State, 9-0, on Tuesday afternoon. "A number of the girls have had ongoing inju­ ries," ASU Head Coach Mike Kernodle said. 'The guys have had a lot of injuries too, but they have been helped by the fact that all of them have had experience and were ranked in the stale. On the women's team, only Brittany Schwartz held a state ranking." In addition, the Lady Mountaineers are forced to continually face teams with top-notch, scholarship players. Schwartz is theonly player on scholarship on the ASU team. "We've been trying to get them to rally for a longer time and refine their game a little more," Kernodle said. "They have improved quite a bit since September." However, the squad is up against some tough conference competition, Kemodle said. "The thing that is very positive about this time is that they are a very close-knit group," Kemodle said. "They are very positive with each other and there is a tremendous camaraderie between them and that is their strength."

Now the Reds are forced to find their own identity with a team that contains a lot of steady everyday players. but very few superstars. Cincinnati still has a lot of holes to fill, and it wasn't very active in the off-season. The Reds are good, but they are no dynasty. After the Dodgers, they are the best of the rest. San Diego and San Francisco battle with the Reds for a shot at second. Both clubs have solid lineups, and bona fide superstars. It could prove challenging to mold together a group of new impact players. The Padres add Toronto trans­ fers Fred McGriff and Tony Fernandez, while the Giants acquired batting champ Willie McGee, along with Yankee relief ace Dave Righetti. It may be tough for both clubs to deal with these new egos, coupled with the ones already present. Neither team will be able to challenge Tommy's boys.

It has been argued by several parties, however, tha.the theoryof evolution does not necessarily exclude tht existence of a creator. It is the purpose of this discussion to present a theory that demonstrates the importance of both arguments to fully account for the origin of life. It is nearly impossible to not see the forces of the continuing evolutionary processes in action in nearly every component of the world ecological system. Prime examples can be found in humans. No longer is there the need for the wisdom teeth. As a result, by and large, humans haveevolved into organisms with a jaw too small to accommodate these teeth. The human body is also losing its dependence upon many internal body struc­ tures such as the appendix, the tonsils and in many cases the gall bladder. The many different features of humans around the world also serve as evidence for the evolutionist's claim. An example is the adaptation of a tall, thin body structure of peoples living in tropical and very warm climates to facilitate more efficient cooling processes, as opposed to the Eskimo people who have less surface area in relation to their bodies (a generally more stocky build), which serves as a more efficient means of retaining heat. These are clear examples of Darwin's theory of natural selec­ A AO* kw By DAVID BAUMAN Appalachian Commentary Editor Before theearth was proven to be round, people "knew" it was flat. Scientists who insisted on the round-earth theory were laughed at and punished. As theexplorers left their p>orts and morescientists studied, the facts proved the earth was round. The theory of evolution is also widely accepted as truth. Proof is everywhere, according to many biologists. But when the theory is looked at closely, the evolu­ tionists who assume life began by chance often refuse to see the facts, much like those flat-earth believers centuries ago. Subtly, today's biology books pxesent the simple 1-2-3 steps of how lifeevolved. Many teachers teach evolution as if it were unquestionable. If a student dis­ agrees, I dare say he would be ranked with the uneducated. J Evolution, meaning living thingschang­ ing and adfpxing over time, is an observ­ able, pirov able truth. Butevolution, mean­ ing the beginning of life by chance from the primordial soup and thegradual climb­ ing up the evolutionary tree from singlecelled organisms to mankind cannot be piroven in the laboratory. (The term evo­ lution in this article will refer to the latter definition). If one accepts all the assumptions given in the biology books, evolution would look fairly plausible, if not logical and easy. But the beginning of life by chance, in actuality, would have been the most difficult and improbable event ever to occur. The geologic record shows us cells, the basic unit of life, came into existence about 3.5 billion years ago. These cells were in the form of bacteria and bacterialike green algae. But how did these cells come into existence. In order to better iderstand the origin of life, let's look at several stages which must exist for life to begin. The first stage is basic raw materials. The earth at the time we are spxeaking of had an atmosphere containing many gases. In addition to water vapxtr, there was car­ bon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, ammonia, together with nitrogen and hy­ drogen sulfide. As rain fell into the seas covering the earth, these elements made their way into the water, itself the essen­ tial compxment of life. Raw elements for life were definitely available. Stage two is the energy source and propter environment stage. The sun pro­ vided plenty of energy, but the energy it provided could have also destroyed life since there was no ozone layer over the earth to protect living things from ultra­ violet rays. Lightning also provided elec­ trical energy. Thermal energy came from volcanic reactions. This stage, except for the ultraviolet rays, was suited for the origin of life. The next ingredients are the monomers (basic organic materials). These include amino acids, sugars, phosphates and or­ ganic bases. These molecules join to­ gether to create chains. The 1953 experi­ ment of biochemist Stanley Miller dem­ onstrated how amino acid molecules could be synthesized. Miller used gases thought to have been present in the primordial atmosphere, and he used a spark to simu­ late lightning. Many amino acids found in proteins have been produced. It should be noted, however, that Joel Levine of NASA's Langley Research Center sug­ gests that these exp>eriments have been using the wrong materials ("Science Di­ gest," May 1983). For sugars, theoretically, it is not diffi­ cult to account for their synthesis under See SHATTERING page 10 Hard hitting commentaries draw reaction Teachers wanted who can challenge kids To the Editor: Saving on transportation costs, some pioneers were known to head west on covered skates. would have been found to have navels, which is excep­ tional considering that neither had a biological mother from which an umbilical cord would be necessary for the transporting of nourishment. Accepting this as reason­ able, it then follows that the entire planet was created as a complete and mature construction. It is argued here that the trees, man and woman, and indeed the entire planet was fashioned, in seconds, in such a way as to give the illusion of having been formed over a p>enod of billions or even trillions of years. The creator fashioned this global "biological machine" so that, when set into motion, would operate as if it had been built up from a molecular level.Insimple terms again, the earth and every compxment, living and nonliving, was precisely designed and created in a flexible form that allowed for the evolution of each compxment as is needed for the efficient operation of an ever changing global ecological system. Apjplying this to Darwin's theory, the first several steps in the evolutionary process were compacted intothe six days of creation. This is not to say that each of the six days of creation lasted millions of years, for why would the deity need so much time? However, the argument of a supter-extended day is still op>en, but is irrelevant to this discussion. Regardless, this theory does account for fossil records and other physical history evidence that exist in suppx>rt of the theory of evolution. The reason for creating a fully developed planet can only be speculated upxrn. However, just as in the case of the first humans created, it seems to be simply conceptu­ ally infeasible to have created a world that is immature. It is hypothesized here that the creator did not want to construct a system that was totally dependent upx>n its builder to operate it, just as no organism is totally depen­ dent upxm such intervention for its biological function­ ing. Regardless of the reasoning behind it, the world sys­ tem was designed by the creator in such a way that evolution could occur and keep the processes of natural selection continuous. An open mind is required to see that, without both the theories of Darwin and of the creationists, it would be difficult to understand how the system began, how it operates and what changes it faces in the future. Shattering the myths and bias of evolution i'i* ul^)i(ii i lii iji IJS 5 1 By GARY LARSON yiic tion: those organisms who are best adapted to their environment will survive and live productively. In order to assess a creator's role in these processes it is first impxrrtant to know the basis for the creationist's ptosition. The Bible is commonly viewed as the p>aradigm for the creationist theory, and so it is treated in this discussion. Without going into deep theological discus­ sion, the basic pxjsition of the creationists, simply put, is that God, defined as the deity, spoke into existence the heavens (space and celestial bodies) and the earth, in­ cluding all living organisms, both plants and animals, and any life forms that may go beyond these classifica­ tions. Creationists view all life forms as being designed and created individually and deliberately, as oppjosed to the "primordial pxrol" theory stating that all life evolved somewhat accidentally, from the common ancestry of non-living compounds. The conflict is strongest in the account of the creation of humans, the most highly evolved organism in Darwin's scheme. His account is of human development stemming from the lower primates, the apjes, a process which took place over millions of years. This idea is in direct conflict with the biblical account of the formation of humans out of clay (or dust) on the fifth day of creation. So, how can evolution fit into the creationist pjhilosophy, if indeed it can? After all, many of Darwin's claims are substantiated in natural phenomena. But, assuming that God exists, is the deity also the creator? It is argued here that God created the heavens and the earth as is described in the biblical account found in chapters one and two of the book of Genesis. The earth was, however, not created in an infant state, nor was every organism immature. Creationists must be aware of the absurdity in the idea that "Adam and Eve" of the biblical account were created as mere infants. It is equally absurd to assume the same for the plants and other animals. This is an obviously ridiculous idea, and few, if any, creationists would argue that pxiint. For example, had the first pine tree been cut down, the trunk would inevitably have shown the rings of many seasons of growth, even though it had only been in existence seconds. If examined, Adam and Eve both Congratulations must be given to David Bauman for another well-written and thoughtful column ("Education's self-esteem snow job," March 26). It is obvious that the education system within America needs new initiatives so fellow students on all levels will not follow the pjath of ignorance. The call for new educators is very admirable and necessary, but since so many of the educators of the future, myself included, are also products of the present system, tomorrow's teachers must learn certain respxmsibilities. The foremost of these is the respxjnsibility of learning. A year ago the problems with our future educators presented itself blatantly during a discussion of the book "If I Die in a Combat Zone..." by Tim O'Brien. For those who have not read this great book, in short it is an autobiographical account of a young American who is drafted to fight in the Vietnam conflict Though he does not agree with his government's pxtlicy, he obeys his superiors and the law in order to not bring shame upxm himself or his family. In the midst of the class discussion, a fellow student sa.'d he/she (gender matters not in this argument) did not like the book because it wasn't a "nice" story. In my interpretation, this student would rather have read a fictional account of the book Filled with romance and action than a personal account based on thoughts and emotions. Though there are not as many education majors on this campus as there were decades ago, there are still maty future teachers to be met here, and they can be just as guilty as the next student of taking a class because it is an easy "A." Often, history education majo s complain about having to read an extravagant number of reading assignments. However, everything a history major learns in his or her World or American Civilization class should be passed on to the students of the future, and that can be denied when a future educator depjends on one textbook for all teaching material. If the tone of this message is stem, then I apologize to those who may be offended. This letter is not a selfnomination for sainthood. Instead, it is a result of taking classes taught by i who did more than teach dates or problems or situations. The future educators need to challenge themselves if they are ever to consider challenging the students who will leam from them. There is more to science than the simple recital of E=mc2 or the showing of sedimentary rocks. There is more to English than nouns or verbs or the average classroom recital of "Romeo and Juliet." There is more to math than 2+2 or y=mx+b. There is more to history than the Constitution or the Roman aqueducts. Yet if the future educators do not take this into account, then the future students of America will be held at the mercy of teachers accused of having underdeveloped abilities, as is the case at pxesent. In conclusion, the educators of tomorrow must have a better reason to teach than "because they love kids." They must love to challenge them most of all. single mother and a sophomore. True, I devote time to classes and homework, but the majority of my homework is done while my daughter sleeps. She stays in daycare while I attend classes, but this is not negligence. She is learning social skills she could not learn were I keeping her at home. She is learning to share, sp>ell and count along with a wide variety of things that will prepare her for later life. I do agree that a mother should sptend the first few months with her child, but that does not mean she should give up the best of her life. The child will grow up and leave to be her own pterson, and the mother who has built her life around the child will have a rough time adapting. This does not bring to light the problems the child will have as she develops through the years due to an overpxotective mother.

To date, however, no sugars have been recovered in the laboratory under prebiotic condi­ tions. Some organic bases have been produced under prebiotic laboratory con­ ditions. So what do we have? Some amino acids, some organic bases needed for nucleic acid (DNA) and an absenceof any sugar, given prebiotic laboratory experi­ ments. This gives us 30 to 40 percent of the nonliving subunits for life developed in the laboratory. The fact is. we are not talking about life yet, only the building blocks for life. How can 100 percent life come from only 40 percent of thenonliving units required for life? If, impossible and the hard part of evolution hasn't even begun.

By AMANDA NELSON Assistant News Editor Due to a S360 million state budget shortfall, ASU has been forced to cut 24.7 faculty and staff positions, with an addi­ tional 16.5 positions frozen and more cuts anticipated in thefuture, according toLarry Nance, director of personnel. "We anticipate even more cuts. We're doing everything we can to avoid layoffs of employees," Nance said. He added that "across the board" cuts have been made to each state-supported university. According to Lynn Holaday, associate vice chancellor of fiscal operations, "There was a specific percentage applied to every institution. Since we didn't have some of the programs that were cut at Chapel Hill and State, they were hit harder on the overhead." Of the 24.7 positions cut from the uni­ versity, 15.4 were teaching positions, 2.6 were non-teaching positions and 6.7 were staff positions. The total amountof money cut from the salary and benefits of the positions was $995,589, according to Nance. iyi^r rtll III I *• j " • — 11. 1 1,1 rrwiv narwn niw«na Then, in July 1990, the state offered to ALL IN THE NAME OF SAFETY: Public Affairs Chairperson Janet Avant and lift the hiring freeze if ASU would keep an Mountaineer Escort Director Jim Norfcett hand out stickers to publicize SGA's Safety See SHORTFALL page 2 Awareness Week. hcism, in subtle forms, is still present in the 1990's »NNA HAMPTON Mm Staff Writer rism.

However, Tolbert added that many of these professors are unaware of the fact that such films may make African-American students uncomfortable.

T h e program began m argues San Jose State University English professor Shelby Steele. Many students at ASU think groups for African-American students are necessary. Until equality is attained, students need cultural centers and clubs that promote African-American culture and tradition. Appalachian's African-American popu­ lation is 4.5 percent, or about 500 stu­ dents. Of those 500, approximately 120 are members of the BSA. According to Tolbert, "The BSA aims to unify African-American students and give them a foundation. It helps them preserve their heritage." When asked if ASU does enough to recruit African-American students, Wil­ lie Fleming, ASU's director of multicultural affairs, said, "I feel that the officer that they have working in the area of recruiting African-American students is doing an outstanding job. As a matter of fact, I have never seen as much effort and work in that office before. But I feel that much more support and resources are needed from both the state and local ad­ ministration if we are to achieve the goals in the area of African-American recruit­ ment and retention." According to Fleming, the treatment of currently enrolled African-American stu­ dents is crucial to recruitment of new students because word-of-mouth is so important. If currently enrolled students are treated with respect, they will belikely to convince others to come to Appala­ chian. However, if these students are treated poorly, they will be unlikely to See RACISM page 2 Uncle Sigmund begins counseling Computer system gives advice for concerns over VAX system usemame and password.

By TERESA L. SMITH EtCetera Editor I'm on a mission to find someone who likes lo do Uundiy. When I find that person, he can oattinly do mine, too. I have yet to meet him, I find that washing laundry is often on most peoples' "lhings-I-hate-to-do" lists. Most of the people I asked say they wash clothes every week or every other week. It's rather depressing to me to see the amount of water that empties into that machine just to slosh around your clothes for about 20 minutes to get all of that supposed dirt out. And then a mere week later, the same process must be completed all over again. I'm not saying that clothes never get dirty, but after wearing an outfit simply one day, how filthy can it be, if you aren't playing a rigorous sports activity in it, of course. What I have to wonder is how much water is used all over the world every week to do something as detestable as wash clothes. (Or to simply bathe, for that matter. Have you ever considered how many showers are taken and how many mouths full of teeth are brushed every single day in a single residence hall?) I am fairly sure that Americans use more water than any other nation in the world. After ill, many nations don't have a great deal of clean water to drink, much less to shower daily Some nations drink the same water they Itathe in. But Americans, the dirty people that we are, must bathe at least every other day and wash clothes biweekly. I wonder when this was decided. Furthermore, I wonder who made the decision that Americans need to consume so much water. Now, of course, if everyone stopped taking towers, people would think everyone else felled horrible.

April 9,1991 Work fashions to be modeled in show "First Impressions" fashion show features students enhancing their wardrobe Special to the Appalachian Transforming the typical blue-jean wearing col­ lege student into a professionally- dressed career person can be a difficult task. Fortunately, ASU students will receive help making this important transformation at "First Impressions," a fashion show sponsored by the Office of Career Planning and Employment and Belk of Boone Mall. According to Kathy Sack, a career counselor at ASU, students ask many questions about appropri­ ate career wear. In response to these inquiries, the Office of Career Planning and Employment hopes to offer students more than the average fashion show. They want to make the event educational as well as entertaining. With the help of interested students and Belk of Boone, they are planning First Impressions." In addition to viewing the latest career fashions, students will learn how to build a professional wardrobe on a limited budget and how to accessorize to make the most of each outfit. Krystal Kennedy, advertising manager at Belk, said, "We wanted to support ASU and, at the same time, we wanted to make students aware of what is acceptable dress in the professional world. We hope to help students by giving advice on how to create a working wardrobe based on cost and quality of the clothes." Sack added, "We consider ourselves educators and that is what we are trying to do. We have combined a fun event with an educationalopportu­ nity. Our goal is to teach students how to be comfortable with themselves in the world of work." Career Planning and Employment asked cam­ pus organizations to sponsor a model for the fashion show. Those organizations represented are the International Friendship Association, Delta Zeta sorority, Chi Omega sorority, Appalachian Fash­ ion Group, Pi Kappa Phi fraternity. Student Ambassadors and the Ad Plus Club. The fashion show, which will be held on Tues­ day, April 9 in the Trillium Room at the Broyhill Inn, begins at 7 p.m. with a social. During this 30minute social, students will be served hors d'oeuvers and will have an opportunity to talk with the sponsors and with other students. The fashion show itself will be held from 7:30-8 p.m. Models, who are all ASU students, will wear both brandname and Belk private-label fashions. Then, from 8-8:30, students can attend three of seven mini-workshops. Informal question-andanswer booths will be set up on the following topics: ladies'/misses', men's, shoes, accessories, cosmetics, fragrance and credit. For example, stu­ dents attending the accessories workshop will learn to accent their wardrobe with jewelry, scarves and ties. At the cosmetics workshop, students will learn how lo properly apply makeup and care for their skin. Because many students have limited budgets, sponsors will teach students to create professional outfits from ckxhes and accessories they already have. "Students will be able to make appointments with sales representatives lo purchase outfits, get fined and receive instant credit at Belk," said Kennedy. From 8:30-9 p.m., there will be a drawing for a free gift from Belk. Every student attending "First Impressions" receives a small gift. Make the transition from blue jeans to suits and dresses easier by attending "First Impressions." View the latest career fashions while learning to build a professional wardrobe.

Don't limit your major Interdisciplinary studies offers a variety of subjects By PAULA CH1LDERS Appalachian Staff Writer Have you ever been in a class, taking notes,only to realize you had heard the same thing before or in another class? Do you enjoy discovering connec­ tions like these between classes that might seem worlds apart to others? Facts aren't always neatly contained within a single course, or even a single department. As you may have already discovered, personal interests and even career plans may send you looking out­ side a structured major for classes that connect your ideas in new ways. The Interdisciplinary Studies program strives to create classes or combinations of classes that en­ courage those connections, both for students who are seeking a broad yet interwoven education, and students who have very specific ideas or plans that simply aren't provided for by any of the more traditional major programs on campus. The Interdisciplinary Studies major, new at Appalachian litis year, has twelve preslructured concentrations in everything from International Studies in Russia and Eastern Europe to Environ­ mental Policy and Planning, while also providing an "individually designed" concentration. How­ ever, you don't have to be an IDS major, or even a minor, to take IDS classes. Most IDS classes can even count toward hu­ manities or social sciences credits in General College requirements; a few classes also can fulfill literature requirements. Be warned, though: inter­ disciplinary studies is not for everyone. "These classes require you to think," said John Magers, a sophomore interdisciplinary studies major. 'They demand you to formulate your thoughts, to have opinions and state them, not just sit and take notes. These are not passive classes." Magers, an RA in East Hall, is concentrating in Environmental Policy and Planning, which, he says, "involves classes ranging from Ethics to Economics, and a minor in a science, while still being tied together by the core classes. The best thing about my classes is that they are small, especially the IDS area courses. There's lots of personal interaction with the professors. They're brilliant, and you really get to know them and see how they think. The classes sometimes seem even harder than the same type of class in a typical department, but perhaps that's because you can't be anonymous. You will get som^tipn class- and the more you can add, therrtoWyWn will get." Many freshmen first discover the IDS program through Watauga College, a residential interdisci­ plinary program designed to help incoming students complete their General College requirements while easing the transition to college life by fostering a sense of community among the participants. Watauga College students take ten-hour blocks of interdisciplinary courses in selected topic areas both semesters of their freshman year. These blocks fulfill requirements for English, history, and most humanities and social sciences, but are structured around interdisciplinary ap­ proaches. For example, rather than taking classes in literature,history, and sociology,a student would take a class on China and learn about the history of China through reading great works of literature and studying the Chinese culture. See MAJOR page 4 Photo by Rondott ReMnk EXPANDING THEIR HORIZONS: Dr. Kay Smith teaches an interdisciplinary studies class in East Hall. This class met Monday, April 8. Many students are introduced to interdisciplinary studies through classes in Watauga College.

This is not just an advertisement, this trip is actually going on, but just for ASU students, alumni, faculty, staff, parents and friendsof the university. You probably found a flyer in your mailbox, but if you lost it, didn't get one or possibly ignored it— here is the information. The Appalachian Day at Carowinds will be Saturday, April 27, from 10 a.m. lo 8 p.m. The regular price is $19.95, but Mountaineers get in for only $11.The tickets, however, must be purchased by 5 p.m. April 22. The tickets will be reserved at the Carowinds entrance, but you will get a parking slicker and a brochure. "Leslie Costos, a '76 alumni, is making this possible through her work with Carowinds," said Barbara Burgin, head of the alumni office."This is a joint agreement between Carowinds and the university. It's a good public relations project for the whole ASU family." Door prizes will be given out to those present." The lunch at the Plantation Shelter will be just for the ASU family. Hog dogs, chips and a drink will be$2.50, while chicken, chips and adrink will be $3.50. What is at Carowinds to attract students? "The cheap price!" said student Melinda Arndt. She remembers going there as a child and the different sections of the amusement park."There is a Hanna-Barbara section for the kids and all kinds of games. My parents like to go on the steamboat that takes you around the park. For the students, there are roller coasters, a log ride and now they have a water park called Ocean Island. It keeps expanding. There are also shops for sou­ venirs and stuff," Arndt said.When asked why she likes the park, Arndt answered, "It's the closest thing to Disney World we have in North Carolina." There will be other people at the park, but the Appalachian family will probably make up the majority of attendance that day. It will be a good break for thecrazy end of the semester; a whole day away from the expected exams and papers. Student Andrea Fare said, 'The theme park offers entertainment for all ages, young and old. There arc a lot'of fun rides, but then there arcshows and performances that any age would enjoy. I'm glad that they are offering a day like this for all of Appalachian to get together."

To SGAfor sponsoring Safety Awareness Week last week; By WILLIAM PURCELL Appalachian Staff Writer In its second year, the ASU Water Ski Club is making waves at Appalachian. This club provides a common meeting ground for veteran and new skiers alike to make a splash for ASU. This unique club hopes to combine both recreational and com­ petitive skiing as it starts its second season of competition. Club member Carmen Cox said, "Those who have never skied before are more than welcome to join our organization. We have all levels of skiers from advanced to beginning. It is a gTeat way to learn how." The club does all types of water activities in­ cluding skiing, hydrosliding, tubing, waverunning and sailing. Now the club's focus is shifting to­ wards a more serious matter, competition. One of the club's long term goals is now a reality, a coed team for intercollegiate competi­ tion. Water ski competition involves the average score of six men andsv women. Most teamsdo not have six women, which significantly lowers the teams' score. Appalachian competes in the South Atlantic Conference with other North Carolina schools such as the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina State University, and East Carolina University. The ASU Water Ski Team Ls still trying to catch their breath after slaloming, tricking and jumping their way through their first full competition sea- Lake Walmead, near Milledgeville,Ga„ was the sight for the first competition last September. This was a testing ground for the Mountaineers to see just how well they would fare against top skiers in the South Atlantic Conference. For many, this was their first time ever compet­ ing. The Lady Mountaineers placed fifth overall. Several members did well in the trick skiing com­ petition but the highlight was the ASU men's jumping team, which was successful in landing its jumps.

"Students start to discover that there are other ways of putting together knowledge than discipline-oriented ap­ proaches, said Dr. Kay Smith, chairper­ son of interdisciplinary studies. "The world is not divided into departments. IDS pro­ vides students with flexibility without compromising other, more traditional university programs." By using the con­ centrations available in the IDS major, students can combine existing class offer­ ings in new ways that better reflect their interests and career plans. "The Interna­ tional Studies concentrations are espe­ cially suited forstudents interested inS tate Department workor who are already work­ r •j* H i * ing on a language degree and want more concrete knowledge," said Smith. Some students are simply interested in getting a Ixoader education than that avail­ able in a specific department. "IDS can be for people who don't want to close off their options. Many people change ca­ reers several times throughout their lives. An IDS degree could give you a good general foundation for many alter­ natives. Also, a broad degree, such as IDS with a concentration in Liberal Studies, can lead into pre-professional programs, law school, and graduate school,"said Smith. In short, a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies might be more practical for some students than any other traditional de­ gree. IDS classes are fun! They make you want to leam, because they're so much more interesting, at least for me," said Meyers. Interdisciplinary studiescan give you a chance to combine pieces of your education in ways you might never dis­ cover otherwise. "IDS classes give stu­ dents experience in the format of combin­ ing ideas, said Dr. Smith. "Some stu­ dents leam better when things are con­ nected." Two of the four core classes for theIDS major will be offered in the fall: Artists and Cultures- Shakespeare and Victor Hugo, taught by Dr. Smith and Dr. Bill Griffin, and Interdisciplinary Approaches to Contemporary Issues-War, taught by Dr. Marv Williamsen. Many other IDS classes covering spe­ cific topics will also be offered.

Another long-term goal for the club is to own a boat. Companies are willing to sell ski boats at cost to schools with competing teams. The club now uses boats and equipment that members own. It mayseem strangefor a school known for snow to have a water ski team, but club members point out that Carolina hasa Snow Ski Club, and successful one at that. According to Cox, one of the biggest problems during the creation of the club was motivation, "I'm tired of hearing people say you can't have a club for water skiing in the mountains." Cox added, "There are several lakes less than an hour away from ASU, Lake Hickory and Lake Watauga for example. There are a lot of people interested in water skiing at ASU and this club allows con­ tact between avid skiers." Past fundraising projects for the club included a raffle for apair of teal-colored skis, a vest and a rope, all donated by Taperflex as well as dinner at several local restaurants. "The club could not exist without the enthusiastic members who donate thenboats and equipment and we would like to thank them," Cox said. NOW LEASING t.

Spring is in the air, and the boys of summer are breaking out the bats and balls for another season of America's national pastime. Within the next few weeks, hundreds upon thousands of supposed experts will attempt to predict the winner, and losers for the 1991 Major League Baseball season. Well, I don't claim to be an expert, but I, like all the other prognosticators, think I have a pretty good idea how things will turn out. In this first part of a two part series let's take a look at the American League. A.L. East: No team in this division looks to have the horses to win a pennant over one of its western counterparts. The Boston Red Sox, with the acquisition of slugging first baseman/ DH Jack Clark, looks to be the best team in a weak field, and they will stave off the always pesky Toronto Blue Jays on their way to a second consecutive divisional title. The Baltimore Orioles (minus Jim Palmer, again) still can't repeat their miracle season of 1989, which saw them go from worst in '88 to first in '89 until the final week of the season. The birds will get a boost from former Astro s/ugger Glenn Davis. Look for Baltimore to finish no higher than third. For the past 10 years, the Milwaukee Brewers have looked great on papier, but due to a lack of long term pitching talent they have only managed to capture one division title (1982). The "Whiz Kids," Robin Yount, Paul Molitor and Jim Gantner, who led the '82 Brewers to a pjennant—are no longer spring chickens. Don't get me wrong, these guys could be the surprise team of the season. If not, then this could be the last chance for an aging Brew Crew. The 1990 version of the Detroit Tigers was basically "the Cecil Fielder Show." The practically unknown first baseman returned from a season in Japan to take the American League by storm, connecting for 51 round •topers, becoming the first 50-homer man in 13 "asons and the first American Leaguer to reach •hat mark since Roger Maris hit his record 61 homers in 1961. However, excluding Fielder, •he Tiger roster is nothing but a big question mark. The New York Yankees and the Cleveland Indians will both fight to stay out of the Eastern division cellar. The Bronx Bombers, minus the Reddling of George Steinbrenner, will finally Set a chance to really rebuild from the ground "P- The Tribe showed piromise last season, finishing fourth (their highest finish in 22 years).

The game started off looking like a pitching duel, |as ASU's Wayne Carter pritched four scoreless J innings, giving up only two hits. However, things unraveled for Carter in the fifth, as Hokie second baseman Justin Dobson rappied out a leadoff double, and advanced to third on a passed ball. Carter walked the next two batters to load the bases, and then gave up a double to left fielder Steve Render, which resulted in three Hokie runs crossing the plate. ASU, meanwhile, had drawn first blood in the first inning as Mountaineer third baseman Will Shellman connected for a one-out single off Hokie starter Mark Overholt. Shellman took second on a passed ball and advanced to third on a balk by Overholt. AfterTony McCabe flew out to right, left fielder Johnny McCraw slapped a two-out double, scoring Shellman. The Apjps struck again in the third inning as Key led off with a walk, stole second and scored on Shellman's RBI single. Two Hokie errors allow­ ed two more Mountaineer runs to score in the frame.

RBI single.Tech returned the favor in the top of the sixth, scoring on a fielder's choice grounder to second by Dobson. In ASU's half of the sixth, McCabe drew a oneout walk and scored on McCraw's RBI double. McCraw tried to stretch thedouble into a triple, but was called out on a close p>lay at third. ASU Head Coach Jim Morris, who came out on the field to protest the call, was thrown out of the game by the field umpire. Of the incident, Morris said, "All I said was, 'You've already missed five (calls) for them (Tech), youdon'towe them one,' and he (the umpire) said, 'You're gone."" With Morris taking a seat on the bench, the Appe continued to trade licks with the Hokies, and going into the bottom of the ninth, the score was knotted at nine apiece. Bernard led of the frame with a oneout double, and he advanced to third on a single by Sprouse. Key squared around to attempx an appar­ ent suicide squeeze bunt. However, Key popped the ball up, and a diving catch wasmade by Hokie first baseman Les Jennette. Jennette then whirled around to attempx to pick Sprouse off of first. Unfortunately for the Hokies, Sprouse, the ball and Tech second baseman Justin Dobson all arrived at first base at the same time, and the ball dropjpjed helplessly to the ground, allowing Bernard to scampjer home with the win­ ning run. The Mountaineers improved their overall record to 19-14, and maintained a 4-6 conference mark. ASU played a three-game set at Western Caro­ lina last weekend.

CRAVER Appalachian Staff Writer Two members of the men's ASU track team as well as two from the women's squad placed in individual competition at the Raleigh Relays, held March 29-30 at North Carolina State University. Competing with the Mountaineer teams were approximately 40 squads including NCState, UNCChapel Hill, Wake Forest, Duke, University of Virginia, University of Maryland, East Carolina, Western Carolina, Yale, Rutgers, Providence, George Mason, Virginia Military, Seton Hall, Georgetown, Penn State and James Madison. Men's Action Senior co-captain Allen Brooks led the Moun­ taineers as he captured the 400-meter intermediate hurdles with a clocking of 51.55. Brooks, who was running this event for the first time this season, was just short of the NCAA provisional time of 51.25. Brooks also ran an exceptional split in the 4x400meter relay with a time of 48.00. Junior Rob Grant was the only other individual placer for the Appjs, finishing third in the javelin with a throw of 190' 6". ASU Men's Head' Coach' A1 Fereshetian was pleased with his squad's overall pjerformance at NC State. "When you consider the weather that we had (cool tempxratures and threatening storms), our guys performed well," Fereshetian said. "Our team is definitely ready to run, and I'm sure we would have had some very good pjerformances if we'd had traditional Raleigh weather." Fereshetian was delighted with the performance of Brooks over the weekend. "Allen Brooks is one of the only ones that has been able to capture first place for us in the last three years at this meet," Fereshetian said. "There are approximately 72 athletes in each event, and the final field consistsof ninecompjctitors. His time in the400-meter hurdles was probably his third best career time, and it was the first time he'd run the race this season. He is definitely ready to get in there and run." Other strong pjerformances for thc Mountain­ eers cam^from the 4x800-meter relay team of tiavid Ess," Alan Whicker, Billy Pemberton and Jamie Griggs) who ran a seasonal best of 7:57.2. Ess and Whicker had extremely notable perfor­ mances, clocking 1:54.6 and 1:57.6 respectively. Eric Joe and Jeff Waters also clocked remark­ able relay splits in the4x400-meter with respective times of 48.8 and 49.7. Fereshetian was impressed with the efforts of Ess, Whicker, Joe and Waters. "David (Ess)represented himself well," Fereshetian said. "He ran in one of the fast sections and beat runners of higher ranks. "Alan (Whicker) had an excepxional time. The pjoor exchange slowed him down, but I was still very pleased. Eric (Joe) is beginning to get his times down and is really looking good, and Jeff (Waters) competed toughly in the 4x100, 4x200 and 4x400 relays." Four p>ersonal records were set at NC State, including Mike Guess who prole vaulted 15' and Dennis Gulcknecht w_ hjck«46«.26inlhe400meter intermediate hur s.drrinaa,OuO-metcr run Brian Watkins and Mike Bowers clocked 15:33 and 15:44, respjectively. ASU traveled to UNC-Chap>el Hill on April 6 to complete with UNC, NC State, The University of South Carolina and Virginia in a night meet where Fereshetian expiected to see some "good quality pierformances because there will be tremendous competition and a chance for our athletes to pierform." Women's Action Juniors Lynette Gardin and Sabrina Hill were the only individual placers for the Lady Appis at the Raleigh Relays. Gardin finished third in the 100See MEET piage 7 ASU grid squad kicks off spring drills By WELL ROTHSCHILD Appalachian Staff Writer The Appalachian State Mountaineers began ini­ tial preparations for the 1991 football season last Tuesday with the opiening of spring piractice. The Mountaineers, who finished 6-5 last season and barely missed making the NCAA division 1AA playoffs, are allowed 15 days of practice during this spring workout pieriod by the NCAA, down from 20 workouts last year. ASU Assistant Coach David Browning said the cutdown in the number of workouts will have an effect. "They (the NCAA) allow 10 days in pads and the other five days must be in shorts," Browning explained. "That puts the players at a disadvan­ tage. They have fewer days to show what they can do. The third and fourth-string players and walkons don't get as much of a chance to show what they can do. If the 15 days were all in pads, those guys would get more of a chance." Lastseason, theMountaineers werespjear headed by a strong defense and a consistent running game. The pjassing attack was inconsistent in 1990, and Browning pxhnted to the aspect of ASU football as the primary concentration during the spjring drills. Correction In the Thursday, April 4 edition of "The Appalachian," a line of copy was inadvert­ ently omitted. ASU men's tenniscoach Mike Kemodle was quoted as saying, "I think we have some good players, but I don't think we will be a very good team." Coach Kemodle actually said, "I think we have some good players, but I don' t think any of them have reached their potential yet. When we get that, I think we will be a very good team." The sports department of "The Apjpjalachian" regrets thiserror and openly apologizes to Coach Kemodle. J / 4 V "We are trying to basically work on the passing game this spjring," Browning said. "We are trying some different things with the passing game. We have also changed up the running game a little by inserting some new formations." The spjring practice session will conclude Satur­ day, Apjril 20, with an intrasquad scrimmage. According to Browning, every player gets equal playing time in the spring game. The game pits the ASU offense against the ASU defense, with defense earning [joints based on a system the coaching staff has set up. For example, if the defense stops the offense from getting a first down, it earns a certain number of pjoints. Browning explained, "The spring game is great because it gives everybody a chance to show what they can do. It's a fun game and a fun event for the team and the players have a great time. Two years ago, the offense won 45-41 and last year the defense won so the series istied 1-1 and this will be the rubber game." Even though thestart of the regular season is still almost five months away, opjtimism is running high in the ASU camp. Browning pjointed to the play of several Mountaineers as espjecially encour­ aging. In fact. Browning mentioned at least one player at almost every pjosition as having been impjressive.

Reaves have all had good showings so far, and the offensive line looks to have made"large impjrovements since last year." The wide receiver corps looks to "have more spjeed and talent then we've had in a long time," Browning said. In addition, the secondary is more expjerienced than it was at this time last year, and the defensive line has a pnoven star in Avery Hall.

This outrage over racism is wonderful. Across college uses, administrators, faculty and staff are realizing the importance of tjn^ instructional material dealing with all races and sexes—not just By DAVID BAUMAN Appalachian Commentary Editor A picture no longer paints a thousand words. The images around us today in TV, magazines and cinema supposedly show us reality. We have learned to rely more on the medium as the point of evaluation rather than the content of the medium.If Dan Rather tells us something, we'll believe it to an extent. If he provides film footage, we know he's telling the truth—or is he? The point can be made that the medium of image no longer carries the message, it is the message. Unfortu­ nately, becoming a visual society more than a contentoriented society has serious problems. People judge a person by his or her appearance or status, rather than by his or her message. The shallowness of appearance evaluation is very present in the case of minorities in America. On one side of the issue, minorities arediscriminated against because of appearance. The other side of the issue, however, is now on the rise. This side claims minorities are right and special because they are minorities. Thanks to political correctness— the forcing of Tight" opinions on others, and the surprising rate of ethnic sensitivity today, the "minorities-are-always-right" idea is numbing people to content evaluation. Political correctness fuels the fire of the minority savioTS of society. Instead of emphasizing what minori­ ties are doing or have to say, these people simply stress their existence as oppressed people. The main oppressor happens to be the white male (see comic strips below). Here is how writer Paula S. Rothenberg views the situa­ tion in her book, "Racism and Sexism: An Integrated Study." She asks why white men are the only ones ever accused of sexism and racism. She says "subordination" sums up these terms, and Western society is exercised only by whites over blacks and men over women. With this definition, reverse racism or sexism doesn't even exist. The prescribed language of PC (see the April 4 Com­ mentary page) will further lead us toward evaluating people by minority status rather than their content. Lewis H. Lapham of "Harpers" magazine poked fun at the PC canon with several tongue-in-cheek definitions of words which reflect the attitudes of our minority-conscious society. Here are a couple of his definitions: "Freedom of Speech: Volatile and dangerous substance, similar to Mace. Far too much of it in the hands of the wrong people. Racial Epithets: Forbidden except when spoken by a member of an oppressed minority. Minorities: Always in the right Victims: Always and forever innocent. Em­ brace them." When you hear a news report, do you always think the victims are simply poor, innocent people?Is it all right for minorities to discriminate against the majority because they have been oppressed? The majority should never discriminate against minorities, and minorities should not discriminate against the majority. We cannot get caught up in the whirlwind of "rights" and rhetoric and forget to evaluate statements and actions in terms of content first, not ethnic background. Some schools, however, continue to teach what people are instead of who they are.The New Jersey Department of Higher Education has funded something called the New Jersey Project that will, according to its bulletin, integrate issues of "women and gender, race, class. THE WORLD NEEDS SOME ONE TO GUIDE If THR0U6M THESE " CHANG IN; RENDER CONFUCTlN' PEAUN *MLL*£RUMBLJN* PM£S THE NOALD N6EPS ethnicity and homophobia and heterosexism" into all the state colleges. Why not stress unity instead of differ­ ences? The "group" is becoming the hallowed entity in soci­ ety. The individual can have an opinion, but only if it has been approved by the group. Discussions have to be conducted in a way so as not to hurt anyones "feelings," the latest and obviously most reliable evaluator of con­ tent. Lapham defines feelings as "Proofs of virtue. Au­ thentic emotion demonstrates the justice of one's cause or the truth of one's art." When feelings and ethnic, sexist dogmas are used as the measuring sticks for messages and ideas, we have entered the age of intellectual shallowness. Content, what is actually said, is thrown out. The emphasis is on "did it offend me?" instead of "is it true?" An anti-semitic black speaker who recently spoke at a New England campus illuminates this point.The speaker spoke of how the Jews had caused all the problems in the world and how white people were inferior to the blacks. What did most of the students think of thisspeaker? They found nothing wrong with his speech. But what if a white man would have said the same thing about women and blacks? He would have been chased out of the audito­ rium. Where is thecontent evaluation? Lost in our ethnic, sexist hypersensitive views given to us by PC and soci­ ety. We must begin evaluating actions and people by content not minority. Black, white, male and female should be secondary measures of a persons' worth to society. As the form of our language becomes more important than the meaning, the challenge will be even greater to find the truth among the images. PC ideas will continue. The oppressed masses rising to wrest power from the privileged class (white males, according to PC) will be preached in the universities. Don't become a victim of ethnic Marxism. Evaluate the content, not the person. Editor's note: "Newsweek", "Harpers Weekly" and "Wall Street Journal" contributed to this article.

SGA: Students working hard for you Special to The Appalachian The pieces of the puzzle are almost complete as the 1990-1991 year for the Student Government Association comes to an end. This has been a very successful year for SGA and the students of ASU. However, the year is not over yet. We still havemany items leftonour agenda before the Scales/Ghent team is finished. The purpose of this article is to inform you about what we have accomplished this year and what we are currently working on. Please feel free to call your SGA representative in Workman Hall at 2622240 if you have any questions or any suggestions for this year or next Just remember, all of us and all of you together, complete a successful puzzle. For the1990-1991 SGA, the year started not in August, but in May while most students were just beginning to enjoy their summer breaks. For example, SGA held the annual BooneBusiness Fair that helped raise money for Tipsy Taxi which offers students a safe ride home from restau­ rants/bars for free. In addition, the state of affairs director wrote numerous letters to legislators touching base and discussing student-related issues. Meanwhile, Mike Scales and Daryl Ghent gave speeches to administrators, parents and students and attended meetings. Once the school year began, SGA con­ tinued to be very active. For instance, SGA held a public forum to discuss fee increases and had legislators present to answer questions. On Oct 9,1990, a stu­ dent fee increase proposal was presented to Senate. We also helped to register 1,467 students to vote in Boone prior to the U.S. Senate elections. On another political note, SGA became involved on a state-wide level by hosting an UNC-ASG conference in the fall. Our SGA has continued to send the largest delegation to these monthly meetings and are honored to have two ASU students serve as state officers. On a more social level, the public af­ fairs chairperson worked hard to have an exciting 1990 Homecoming with the Homecoming Queen and parade. Before the end of the fall semester, the Community/Off-Campus AffairsCommit­ tee conducted the Third Annual Hunger Fight. For months, food and clothes were collected to give to the needy families for Thanksgiving Day. The families were given clothes and a good old-fashioned turkey dinner with all the trimmings. The rest of the can foods and clothes were donated to the Hunger Coalition in Boone. SGA also adopted one child and one adult during the holidays and gave them pre­ sents. This will continue to be a tradition among the students of ASU and the Boone Community. In addition to the community, SGA has worked hard to reach off-campus students and help to inform them. For instance, for the first time, SGA Senate has been aired on Appalnet Senate is shown on Channel 21 every Wednesday at 7 p.m. and every Thursday at9:30 ajn. This gives students the opportunity to sit in the comfort of their own homes and keep up with impor­ tant issues that may affect them. SGA also See SGA page 10 ASU issues dominate letters Sr. gazebo support should go for books Every hour on the hour, a huge truck, made entirely of pressed ham, lumbers its way across Dog Heaven and all the car chasers can decide for themselves whether or not to participate. To the Editor: This letter is in response to the Keith Barber and Patrick K. Setzer's letter concerning the senior class gift proposal offered by Pipes and Poplin. Please allow us to quote you and answer your question, "The ideas of giving money to the library,... are grand. However, how realistic are they?" First of all, giving money to the library is the most worthy or needy place to invest the money. What good will a gazebo be when all we can read while we sit there is a copy of "Seven­ teen?" Most of the educational journals and magazines that we could read have been temporarily stopped because our university lacks the funds to continue the subscription. How long will temporarily be? Does our education have to be put on hold because of the lack of money for a simple subscrip­ tion? Second, like you said, "A gift is a gift," so what does it matter how much money the state has tied up in the library? If the senior class gift were to be presented to the library, those funds wouldn't be tied up, but could be used soon. This would be to the benefit of the students and faculty much sooner than the gazebo would be. And last, but not least, we (ASU) wouldn't be the only university to be unrealistic by giving a gift of money to the library. According to Joel Strickland, who also sent a letter to the editor, the senior class at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has "raised more than $355,000" for their library. This is just the beginning of their endowment. If Appalachian could come even close to that, think about all the subscriptions we could purchase. If they are willing to help their library, with which ours doesn't even compare, why can't we? In closing we would like to quote a fellow student, Joseph Rayle, "I'm looking forward to having it made in the shade in our new gazebo while our institution proudly slouches towards excellence." Pam Jackson ASU Box 11545 Marti Adams ASU Box 18200 Bush's environment plan lacks initiative To the Editor In our lifetimes, we have found it easy to live to satisfy our present needs while giving little consideration for the repjercussions in the future. In his "National Energy Strategy" presented in February, President Bush continued this ancient tradition. The plan, nearly two years in the making, calls for such controversial proposals as increasing domestic production of natural resources, and softening regulations to allow private businesses to enter the utilities market. What the plan does not call for, however, is increased efforts in conservation. See LETTERS page 10 �Classifieds Letters Continued from page 9 energy. President Bush remains content to allow our consumption rates to increase, while responding only by recommending new places to dig for fuel. If Congress accepts Bush's strategy without amendments the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska will be opened for oil drilling. Many members of environmental groups have found this proposal unacceptable, contending the land and its inhabitants will be irreparably damaged by the drilling. Perhaps the most disappointing thing of all, though, is that President Bush showed no innovation in drawing up his strategy. He appointed only $152.4 million to alternative energy research and development, an amount which is considerably less than the $900 million allotted in 1980. He did not impose any conservation restrictions, relying only on voluntary efforts to hold down consumption. President Bush said his plan offers Americans "an energy future that is secure, efficient and environmentally sound." Congressional opponents have found it to be lacking in each of those areas. Said Rep. George Miller (DCalif.), "The president's proposal does not promise energy independence...It will not work and it must not be approved." Scientists have said time and again that the earth's natural resources are finite, yet the new energy strategy suggests increasing efforts to expedite the depletion. Rather than imposing conservation methods and encouraging the search for alternative forms of SGA Bush s strategies lack insight and show indifference toward escalating fiiture energy and environmental problems. His proposals breathe stale air into a ballooning crisis. Now Congress must accept the dubious honor of twisting the plan into something workable that will enable us to meet our baseline energy needs, while still moving us toward a more energyindependent future.

According to Raspberry, the rise in popularity of news sources such as"CNN" and "USA Today," suggests that we (the news industry) are heading toward a more segmented market.

Advocates for labor are lobbying the government for larger increases in the minimum wage. "They (minimum wage earners) can't support a family on this, and in many cases can't support themselves," said Rudy Oswald, chief economist for the AFL-CIO. Minimum wage earners earn about $8,500 per year. This is $1,400 less than the poverty level for a family of three. The AFL-CIO wants the minimum wage to rise to $5.75 an hour by April 1994. Sen. Edward Kennedy,chairman of the Labor and Human Resources Com­ mittee, has promised wage increase legis­ lation for 1991 and 1992. "I don't know what kind of dream world they're in...when your labor component goes up, (the cost) ultimately gets passed on to the consumer," said John Meritt, an executive of the Hardee's restaurant cor­ poration. He said if another wage increase were enacted soon,"...we'd probably be out of business at some point." Department heads in charge of em­ ploying students were told about a year ago to expect a wage increase. However, because the minimum wage is increased does not mean the budget for student employment is automatically increased. "There's not a pot of money handed to us," Weaver said. "Hopefully campus employers have saved enough money to pay the students at the higher rate. We still have six weeks left in the semester. If they didn't (save enough money) then they wouldhave tocutback on (student)hours." This will have a widespread effect," Weaver said. "Everything that goes on around here (is funded) by state money." The regular state employees are not affected by the wage hike."They start out higher than minimum wage,"explaincd Weaver. Like the higher paying tempo­ rary employees, they will not see an auto­ matic wage increase. Editor's note: "The Charlotte Ob­ server" contributed to this article. SGA discusses safety of 321 and campus 'NEWS Bureau 44 f 99 By TRACEYCOFFRON Appalachian Staff Writer The SGA Senators passed a bill in the March 26 meeting that could possibly increase safety on futuretrips from Boone to Blowing Rock during inclement weather. The intent of Senate bill 024-020 is to improve the visibility on this stretch of 321, which is frequently traveled by Ap­ palachian students. The Senate hopes the bill's passage will eventually provoke the department of transportation to install road reflectors on the road between Boone and Blowing Rock. "I feel it's a potential hazard to stu­ dents, and I don't want to wait until someone gets killed to do something about this," said Randy Yelton, chairman of student affairs. Although a majority of the senators were in agreement over the need for the reflectors, many argued that the passage of a bill would not produce the desired solution. These senators felt other av­ enues should have been looked into first "There was a real lack of research done on this bill," said Matt Williford, Frank Hall representative. In addition to the need for more infor­ mation, it was also suggested that there should be better ways to implement the process. "It (the bill) is urmeeded legislation. It may not even hold any weight with the DOT," said Ashley Hutchison, Gardner Hall representative. Despite the debate and dissenting opin­ ApptUcfllmn Photo by Randall Rairank GREG BLIMLING SPEAKS AT SENATE MEETING: At the April 2 Senate ions, the bill did pass and will now be meeting, ViceChancellor of Student Development Greg Blimling spoke on theprogress presented to SGA President Mike Scales.

Dr. Gregory Blimling, vice chancellor of student development, to comment on the progress of several student development programs. "We have about 16 programs going on to enhance the quality of student life on campus," said Blimling. Blimling spoke on issues ranging from the upcoming student development tran­ script to the rising academic caliber of Appalachian applicants. "It's getting much, much more com­ petitive to get in here," Blimling said. In other business, SGA approved Rich­ ard Townsend as the sophomore alternate justice appointment. Also, DarylGhent and Reggie Murphy, the SGA president and vice president for the 1991-92 school year, will begin ac­ cepting applications for cabinet positions on April 10. There are also several senate seats available right now. Those interested can contact Ghent for more information. The recent SGA presidential election promised students the chance to become more active inits decision-making process, and in late April students will get an opportunity to demonstrate their true level of interest. In the April 2 meeting, the senators voted on constitutional changes which will be presented to the student body for final approval in a referendum later this month. Among the changes included is the proposal to place a senator's job descrip­ tion in the constitution. As it stands right now, there is no way to enforce a senator to perform his/her senatorial duties.

Greer Arena Theatre. Tickets are $2 for adults and ' SI for children. Rho Tau hosts music festival All right! Another Robert DeNiro pic­ ture hasbeen released following thecritical successes of "Awakenings" and "Goodfellas." With the previews featur­ ing an all star cast including DeNiro, Patricia Wettig from "thirtysomething" and George Wendt from "Cheers" and the promise of an intense drama about the House Un-American Activities Commit­ tee blacklisting Hollywood professionals, I was prepared for an outstanding movie, or at least a good movie. In spiteof having a great cast, music and potential story material, the movie "Guilty BySuspicion" is a dud. It narrowly focuses on David Merrill (DeNiro), a workaholic director who is estranged from his ex-wife and doting 10year-old son, and his fall from being the most sought after director in Hollywood to an unemployed family man. Merrill is portrayed as Hollywood's do good, conscientious martyr who succumbs to testifying before the HUAC on his attendance of three communist meetings twenty years ago which he was kicked out of for arguing too much. The personal conflict of whether to provide names of suspected communist friends and save his career or maintain his right of assembly and association guaranteed by the con­ stitution is emphasized heavily. Unfortunately, the circumstances and events which allowed the constitution to be disregarded are grossly neglected. Some screen time is given to the story of filmstar Dorothy Nolan, played by Wettig, whose blacklisting and eventual suicide foreshadows Merrill's fall from prosperity. Successful screenwriter Bunny Baxter, portrayed by Wendt, faces HUAC's accusations of communist ac­ tivities immediately after Merrill and follows his inspiring example of refusing to implicate others. This movie provides an excellent op­ portunity for recent history often neglect­ ed in school curriculums to reach millions through the popularity of movies. How­ ever, the fictional stories of Merrill and others are just not interesting and detract from the seriousness of the subject matter. Only about the last IS minutes of the movie is worth seeing. Why couldn't di­ rector/producer/screenplay writer Irwin Winkler base this story on real people? It is not as though there was a lack of HUAC victims' stories to retell. In fact, the supporting cast includes a host of people blacklisted as a result of HUAC including Sam Wanamaker, Allan Rich, Joan Scott, Illeana Douglas and Bill Bailey. Making a cameo appearance is director Martin Scorsese, portraying a filmmaker who leaves the country to avoid testifying and save his career. Annette Bening, also seen in "Postcards From the Edge" and "The Grifters," aptly portrays Merrill's wife. At a time when the current administra­ tion isenjoying a90 percent - plus approv al rating in the polls, a movie focusing on abuses of power that blatantly occurred during the50s with popular support would have been more timely and relevant. A look back at history with a reminder of lessons learned could have been enter­ taining and informative. "Guilty By Suspicion" is Winkler's first attempt at directing and screenplay writ­ ing.

Appalachian golfers gain experience for future By PHIL McC ARN Appalachian Staff Writer Though youth and inexperience have plagued this year's golf team, the ASU men have shown signs of success for the future. The Mountaineers have chipped their way through a very strong schedule, including such tournaments as the Guilford, Georgia State, and College of Charleston Invitationals, the Sun and Fun Invitational in Miami, Fla., and a tournament at the University of South Carolina-Spartanburg where the Apps took fourth place.

Ninth-year Head Coach Sam Adams, who led last year's team to a win at the South Carolina - tournament, sees this year "as a time for gaining experience, developing potential and rebuilding. The graduation of Andrew Pitts, a four-time allconference pick, and Braxton McLennon from last year's team left Adams with a traveling team of only one senior, one junior, two sophomores and a freshman. Leading theteam this year issophomore standout Jay Jamieson. Through 12 rounds of golf this fall, Jamieson averaged a team-leading76.8 strokes per round. He also finished in the top five twice, including a fifth place finish at Guilford College where he shot a two-round total of 149, only three strokes behind the winner. According toCoach Adams,"Jamieson has great potential and could challenge for the Southern Conference individual championship." Also included on this year's squad is freshman Bryan Marshburn. Adams has confidence in Marshbum from his performance in high school golf and realizes that he, as any other newcomer, needs a period for adjustment. Rounding out the Mountaineer squad are fresh­ men Robert Munell and Jeff Daniels, sophomore Steven Mace, junior Frank Farley and senior Sam Neill. The spring portion of the season takep lb the College of Charleston Invitational aswellas tournaments at Campbell, East Carolina and Furman. The season will wind up April 21-23attfiiei Southern Conference Championship in Charlotte. When asked how he feels about the Southern Conference Championship, Adams replied, "There are four or five good teams in our conference, ourselves including. Our goal is to finish in the top four." See APPALACHIAN page 6 ASU runners compete in Wake Invitational w Fio [^* Plagued by inexperience and injuries, the ASU men's tennis team is off to a4-6 start, including an 0-1 mark in the Southern Conference. "In our first match at Lincoln Memorial, we had four injuries," ASU Head Coach Mike Kemodle pointed out. "Our number three player had his head opened up when his doubles partner went to hit an overhand and came down on the back of his head. The court was brand new and the guy we put in at number three in singles got stuck on the surface and hyperextended his knee." Those injuries have continued to hurt Appala­ chian all season. In ASU's first conference match against the University of Tennessee at Chatta­ nooga, the Mountaineers were forced to default three matches and lost 9-0. On a team that features only one junior, three sophomores and three freshmen, the injuries have proved costly. "It's been an up and down season," Kemodle explained. "Our biggest problem is inex­ perience. We consequently have a lot of errors. I think in the long run, our youth will be our strength as we learn from our mistakes." The inexperience and injuries have kept ASU from sustaining much consistency this season. At times, the Mountaineers have played well in de­ feat, and in some wins ASU hasn't looked as sharp. "It's been a very erratic season," Kemodle said. Kemodle was counting on astretch of 10matches during spring break to help the Mountaineers gain the experience and consistency needed for Southem Conference play. That too went awry for ASU as four of the matches were rained out and the last one was snowed out. The season is turning out to be a transitional year for Appalachian tennis. With all the injuries and young players forced into starting roles, simply contending in the Southern Conference will be important. At 4-6 things could be worse. Despite the problems that youth and inexperi­ ence bring to a team, Kemodle thinks that ASU's youth may also be the team's primary strength. "Our youth brings a certain amount of enthusiasm to the team," Kemodle said. "They are starting to come together as a team. We still need work in doubles, as far as playing together and knowing when to hit what kind of shot. The amount left to improve and the fact that none of our players has reached his potential is what is important." Individually, Kemodle has been impressed with the play of sophomore David Rea and two of the freshmen. "David Rea has improved alot since last year, but injuries to his arm are keeping him from being consistent and he's been hurt by that. "Freshmen Bill Ploutz and Jason Muller have come along real well and will be great players before their careers are over." Still, the Mountaineers are struggling heading into the meat of their conference schedule. "No­ body is on a steady course yet because of all the injuries," Kemodle said. "I think we have some good players, but I don't think we will be a very good team." This weekend the team will travel to WinstonSalem to participate in the Wake Forest Tournament By LYDIA E. CRAVER Appalachian Staff Writer The Lady Mountaineer track team captured three first-place finishes and tied one school record while the Mountaineer men notched two firsts at the Wake Forest Invitational on March 23. Competing in the first annual Wake Invite, the Mountaineers went up against teams from Wake Forest, East Tennessee State, North Carolina Central, William and Mary, Bowling Green State, Navy, Duke, Livingstone, Edinboro and Ohio. Women's Action Junior Sabrina Hill led the Lady Apps, finishing in the top six of the three contested jumps. Hill captured the triple jump with a mark of 38' 4-3/4" and finished second in the long-jump at 17' 11-1/ 4". She currently leads the conference in both events. Hill finished fourth in the high-jump posting a mark of 5' 3-1/4". Sophomore Melissa Morrison tied a six-yearold mark in the 100-meter hurdles with a first place 14.40 clocking. She shares the record with Bobbie Puckett-Dunn and leads the conference in this event thus far this season. Senior Jennifer Bowers won the 800-meter run in a personal record time of 2:1139. Bowers also leads the conference in this event. ASU Head Coach John Weaver commended his squad, saying, "We were very pleased with the performances considering this was an early season meet. We were able to put our athletes in the open events instead of relays which will help us evaluate where we need to progress from here." Weaver commended Bowers, commenting, "Jennifer is showing true senior leadership. She has prepared well in the off weeks since the indoor season and is ready to make her mark in her last season." Weaver also noted the tremendous early success of the skill events(field events and hurdles) as he believes theLady Apps are "in good shape for this time of the year." Other strong performances for ASU were pro­ vided by Nicole Welford, who finished second in both the 400-meter run and the triple-jump, with a time of 59.22 and a mark of 36' 5-3/4", respec­ tively. Michelle Rhyne placed second in the shot-put with a throw of 41' 4-1/2" and fourth in the discus at 121' 2". See RUNNERS page 6 ASU drops six of nine Appalachian Staff Reports Appalachian State's baseball team has sputtered of late, dropping six of the last nine contests to slip to 18-14 on the season. This week, the Mountaineers are 2-2, taking a doubleheader from the King Tonados on Tuesday after dropping two contests at Milliganon Monday. On Saturday, March 23, the Mountaineers trav­ elled to Lexington, Va., and swept a doubleheader from the Virginia Military Keydets, 17-2 and 7-6. The Apps continued their road swing through Virgina on March 26.The Apps lost both games of a twin bill to the Flames of Liberty by 4-1 and 4-3 scores. Liberty's Kris Morton limited the Mountaineers to just six hits over seven innings in the opener to raise his record to 3-0 on the season. Freshman hurler Chris Vullo took the loss for ASU. The Apps held a 3-0 lead in the seventh inning of the second game of the double dip, but the Flames scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh to send the contest into extra innings. David Eeles knocked homeTravis Wileman for the game winning run in the eighth inning. Scott Carter, who pitched just two-thirds of an inning, was saddled with the loss for ASU. Todd Martin notched the win for the Flames. The Mountaineers concluded their Viriginia journey by downing Virginia Tech 10-7, March 27 A S U scored seven unearned runs in the contest, thanks to seven errors by the Hokie defense. "That's very unusual for them," ASU Head Coach Jim MotTis said of the Tech miscues. "They' ve been playing real good. It was just one of those days where wecaught them with fumblitis in the infield." The Mountaineers pounded three VirginiaTech pitchers for 13 hits in the game. Will Shellman went three-for-five with two RBIs, while Scott Waugh rapped out two hits and knocked home three runs. Tony McCabe and Randy DeBruhl banged out two hits apiece for Appalachian. Wayne Carter picked up the win for the Moun­ taineers, allowing just two earned runs over seven and one-third innings. Carter improved his record to 2-1 on the season . Scott Carter earned his first save of the season for the Apps. On Saturday, March 30, the Mountaineers played host to conference rival Marshall.The contest was scheduled for Lackey Field but. due to flooding had to be moved to Lenoir's Walker Field. The Thundering Herd squeaked out two close victories over the Mountaineers, 8-7 and 5-4. "It was a tough situation, and I can't help but wonder if it would have turned out any different if we hadn't spent much of the day working on the field," Morris said. "But we had to get them in. At this point in the season, not playing conference games is almost like losing." With two outs in the top of the second inning of the first game, Marshall erupted for six runs.

Sophisticated •ring system, hair-trigger mechanisms, and Bob's wife just left him last night, so you know his mind's not into this." more "enlightened" views, specifically the views held by the administrators who are behind the politically correct movement. What the movement amounts to in many cases is an allout assault on the First Amendment Professors have been reprimanded for teaching that some cultures are more civilized than others or that some cultures have made more contributions than others in the areas of art literature, science, etc. This is an example of cultural enthnocentrism to the politicallycorrect crowd and strictly forbidden in the classroom and most other places. When groups like this are allowed to gain control over educational and thought processes, our cherished rights that should be protected by the First Amendment become jeopardized. Although the catalysts of the movement have been our academic institutions, the momentum is now permeating other areas of society.It suddenly seems that every group in our society has some complaint of certain "isms" that are bothering them. Many of them sound absurd, but it should be remembered that groups that are pushing for their termination are growing more powerful all the time. Here are just a few examples of the new political correctness vocabulary: Scentism is the act of forcing other people to smell your perfume or cologne merely by wearing it in public. A group of militant lesbians in Boston recently endorsed the idea of scent-free social events. People wearing cologne, perfume or deodorant would be banned from public events and places and the rules would be enforced by security officers who would not let anyone in who insisted on wearing certain scents. Handism has recently been pointed out by left-handed groups as the discrimination against lefties by manufac­ turers of such products as power tools, automobiles and notebooks among other things. Verbal sexism is all around us everyday. The Sacra­ mento,Calif. Public Works Department recently decided in order for feminists not to be offended, the city started calling "manholes" by the term "maintenance holes." Many more examples of verbal sexism can be found if one looks hard enough. Freshman, salesman, policeman and many other "chauvinistic" terms continue to be targeted by radicals as offensive and improper. Speciesism has become rampant by Homo sapiens everywhere. Speciesism is defmed as people holding the notion that they are actually more important than insects, birds, rats and other oppressed members of the animal kingdom. When scientists test to find cures for crippling and fatal diseases of humans by using laboratory animals, this is seen as a severe case of speciesism manifesting itself by anti-speciesists. Americans have always felt that society was best served when individuals were allowed to think and be­ lieve as they wished without fearof oppression. It should be remembered that the Constitution guarantees every­ one freedom of expression, but it guarantees no one the right not to be offended. While it is a noble goal to want to wipe out thought and actions that offend others, the politically correct crowd should be cognizant of the fact that in their zeal to stamp out opposing points of view, they run the risk of becoming even worse than the groups whom they accuse of intolerance. Information deprived ASU students vote By JONATHAN WATTERSON Appalachian Staff Writer A student government election is po­ tentially a democratic forum beyond our founding fathers' wildest dreams. The voting is direct rather than representative, in a small body of educated voters with a great deal of interest, for the most part, in local goings-on. George Washington warned of the danger of political factions interfering withthe governmental process, and with our present system of two monolithic national parties, his prophesy has been fulfilled. How different is student government; there are no established parties, and student issues are generally so specific to us students that a particular stance on a particular issue cannot be ascribed to apackaged set of stances known in contemporary political jargon as an "ideology." There is no labeling of "left" or "right." Instead, students simply vote for the candidate that they feel would do the best job in the position and who takes stands that the students agree with. Theoretically. In reality, our SGA elections have their own limitations, as we have just wimessed. The letters to the editor preceding the election expressed some of the frustration students felt about the campaign proceed­ ings. The basis for the problems was that there simply wasn't enough information about the candidates available to enough of the students. During last fall's senatorial race, a fre­ quent complaint heard mostly from Gantt supporters was that Helms wouldn't agree to a public debate. Thus the information about the candidates readily available to most people was limited to 30-second promotional TV commercials. The situa­ tion with the SGA election was compa­ rable. Although there was a debate-on Wednesday night, right before the elec­ tion-it was poorly publicized and seemed to be a last-minute gesture. Few people knew of it, and those who did not know of it or could not attend could not read news of it until after the election. Therefore, all the pertinent information about the candi­ dates that most of the students could ac­ quire (except for Daryl Ghent's record as SGA vice president) was entirely ex­ pressed in two folded pamphlets, one for each pair of hopefuls. These pamphlets were written before the campaign began. The platforms stated in the brochures were obviously intended as promotion as much as they were as political manifestoes. Ghent and Reggie Murphy apparently decided that the student body would rather hear general goals and priorities than spe­ cific plans, so their pamphlet listed under "Platform" ideas such as"Keep the 'poli­ tics' out of SGA." Stephen Schmotzer and April Blanton, following a different strategy, outlined complex plans for im­ proving campus security and changing SGA's structure. No doubt the candidates answered many questions about their platforms on many occasions. But be­ cause we didn't have Dan Rather helping us along, most of us didn't hear about it. True, they did speak to many campus organizations, but no one can speak to all of them, and many students, for various reasons, do not participate in extracurriculars. Because of this lack of information, the voters had little basis for their decision. When it came down to it, it seems that what made thedifference was familiarity. Daryl Ghent entered ASU's public scene in last year's election, for which he and Mike Scales campaigned heavily even though they were unopposed, and he has spent a year as vice president And we all know Reggie Murphy from WASU and DJ dance parties. Murphy's achievements in student judiciary as assistant chief justice and later as public defender went largely unnoticed. In contrast, relatively few people knew who Stephen Schmotzer and April Blanton were before the campaign, though they both have SGA experience. Not to demean the qualifications of Ghent and Murphy, the process by which they were elected was unsatisfactory, and it can improve a great deal without much trouble. The nature of our student popu­ lation can allow much more information exchange than occurs now. What can we do next year? How about more and better publicized debates? Press conferences? We at "The Appalachian"and WASU can provide continuing coverage of the cam­ paign, especially any new statements made by the campaigners. The candidates can allow time in their busy schedules for early debates and for communicating with the students en masse on a level more meaningful than student union fleshpressing. And the students' responsibility is to ask questions and insist on answers. If we inform ourselves, SGA can be a democracy that would make Tom Jefferson proud. Student politics criticized and explained Priorities revealed by loud jam session mall was an excellent example of what the candidates actually label as important: themselves. Jeff Piercey ASU Box 12724 To the Editor: Election Thursday, the campaign for SGA president and vice president reached a new peak of ignorance. It was an unusually beautiful day in Boone and Sanford Mall was packed full of students, so candidates Daryl Ghent and Reggie Murphy decided to hold a DJ dance to promote their platforms. Not to be outdone, a write-in candidate (his identity is unknown to me) felt compelled to compete from the other side of Sanford with an impromptu public address system. The one element these pjeople failed to acknowledge is that it was before 4 p.m. and classes were still underway in Sanford Hall. People who took the effort to go to classes on the first day of spring were forced to listen to C&C Music Factory instead of what was being said in the classroom. The results were irate professors and disrupted classes. I apjproached the write-in candidate and asked him why these interruptions were occurring, and all he could tell me was to "go complain to Daryl and Reggie." If that was the best answer he could muster, then I question his ability to perform at this university, much less handle the responsibilities of SGA president. It is apparent that education was not on the minds of any of the candidates who participated in this rally. As they used combating P.A. systems to spout all the ways they could help the university, I couldn't help but find it ironic that they would take it upon themselves to interrupt classes to tell people about their brilliant campaign ideas. Thursday's jam session on the Chief justice office duties explained To the Editor: As the present student court chief justice, I would like to respond to Michael Zaikowski's March 21, 1991, article, "Students asked to consider past record." As chief justice, it is my responsibil­ ity to swear in members of the Elections Committee, supervise the tallying of the votes in all SGA elections and swear in justices who assist in tallying votes. I must remain neutral in the elections themselves. Therefore, I am not attacking Mr. Zaikowski's political view on the Ghent/Murphy ticket, but addressing his misconception of the process in which the chief justice obtains his/her position. Based upon the United States government, our student government consists of three branches of separation of power and checks and balances. The branches are equal and do not have direct control over the others. As outlined in the student handbook, ASU's chief justice is: "nominated by the Student Senate, screened by the Senate Rules Committee, the Attorney General, and the Public Defender, and elected by 2/3 majority vote of those Senators present no later than the last regularly scheduled meeting of the Student Senate in the Spiring Semester." Mr. Zaikowski's conception of the process is thereby rejected in light of two points: the president of the SGA does not apipoint the chief justice, and the position of chief justice will already be filled before the candidates assume their duties. I am truly sorry if Mr. Zaikowski's misconception influenced any other voters against the Ghent/Murphy ticket It is a shame in any election that ignorance can be so damaging. I hopie the Schmotzer/Blanton ticket did not have to deal with this typje of naive assumption. Finally, I would like to invite the entire student body to re-read their student handbook to learn more about the judicial process. I am now accepting applications for the 1991-1992 academic year for freshman, sopAomore, junior, and senior justices. Although I am again apjplying for chief justice, I encourage any student, especially Mr. Zaikowski, to apjply for the position. If interested, or if you have any questions, please call me (2622102) or stop by my office (101 Workman Hall). Deborah Osterhoudt Student Court Chief Justice ASU Box 16680 Non-Christians need mutual understanding To the Editor: For the pjast few months I have followed the editorials in "The Appalachian" with relative regularity. It seems to me there is a recurring theme to some of these editorials that is negative towards Christianity. No one seems to like Christians very much (unless they are a Christian), and the editorials and commentaries in "The Appalachian" supipiort my hypxithesis. I decided to write this letter to direct a challenge to the students of Apipialachian State University. When I was a child and I struggled to make a hard decision, my father would say, "Look at your options; whichever is the hardest choice you should make will probably be the right choice. The hardest things to do are 99.9% the right things to do." My father is a very wise man. Christianity, true biblical Christian­ ity, is the hardest thing anyone can ever do. It is also the right thing to do. It is no easy thing to love your enemy and pray for them. It is no easy thing to humble yourself before those whom you have done wrong (even when they do not know they have been wronged). It is no easy thing to walk in the ways of righteousness, and espiecially in these days. It is no easy thing to admit that, in and of yourself, you are nothing before God. And it is no easy thing to submit yourself to His authority. Do you, the non-Christian, think it is easy to be a Christian? Do you think we do not know what is said about us? Do you think we have no feelings? And yet we are still to love you and not see the blame in you. Jesus asked, "Forgive them, for they know not what they do." We Christians are expiected to do the same as Jesus did for us. We fail a lot! Yas, the Bible contains a lot of commands, but behind every command there is a "because." That "because" is because God loves you that much. Josh McDowell once said, "God is no cosmic kill-joy!" It's true God says, "Don't do it. You will get hurt." He loves us so much. The Bible is filled with declara­ tions of God's love (for example, see Isaiah 54:10). Now, it is relatively common knowledge (in this country) what See Lfc l lERS piage 10 �1SL Tht! Appalachian ThurtHgy. April 4 JOOJ j Letters v Have a newsworthy idea 9 Call 262-3104 and be a news source for The Appai; > Continued from page 9 Christianity is about. There was this guy, Jesus, who was 100% man and 100% God (Romans 9:5) who led a sinless life- that means he never made what God considers a mistake- (Peter 2.24) and was sacrificed for everyone's sins (John 3:16-18). : By claiming Jesus as Lord of your life you can be saved from eternal .separation from God (Romans 10:9-10), which would definitely ruin your day. As an extra bonus, you get forgiveness pom all your sins, and you do not have .to feel guilty about your mistakes (to ^understand why God has to forgive you see Psalms 51:4). > Now. given all these goodies, we Christians have an annoying habit of islaying human. Because we know we 'are right and we know God loves us so much, we get carried away sometimes <a lot, actually). Enter, the Grand Poobah of sin: pride. We begin to ignore Ephesians 2:9-10 which tells us it is only the grace of God that separates the saved from the unsaved. We get self-righteous and holier-than-thou. No wonder non-Christians do not like Christians very much (of course, part of that is also that truth hurts). Now, to get back to my challenge to ASU. Did you know that if you love God you are to obey what he commands of you (1John 5:3-5) If you want to know how to obey God, pick up a Bible and start reading (there are many versions other than the King James Version, so that excuse is no longer valid. If you are really serious, write me and I'll get a copy to you). If something does not make sense, ask that obnoxious Christian in your Marriage and Family class about it. If they will not help you, keep asking until you find a student who will help (a lot of Christian students hang out in the Sky Light Lounge). I could go on forever, but this is long enough. Any one at all who has questions, comments or even criticism please write to my address. Give Jesus a try, despite the fallacies of Christians. He is alive and He loves you. Kris Van Riper ASU Box 12343 Congratulation!!! Men's Bowling Film Council Brought to you by My second challenge is to the "openminded people who do not care about God, Jesus, the Bible or any of that stuff. True open-mindedness means listening to even that which is unpopu­ lar and treating it as if it holds validity (even if to no one else but the person who is talking). Christians would do well to do the same for unbelievers. You will be amazed at how much you can learn when you unplug your ears.

A forum sponsored by PASE (People for Academics and a Sustainable Envi­ ronment) and the Biology Graduate Stu­ dent Association was held Wednesday, March 20, to present both sides of the SAC debate. Several administrators had been asked to attend the forum, but declined to do so, according to Jeanne Appelget, graduate biology student and member of PASE.

On the ASU campus, a remarkable number of students and members of the Boone community turned out for a candlelight vigil.The sponsors of the vigil stressed the purpose of the gathering was to show support for the troops. Daryl Ghent, former SGA vice president, stated, "We are not supporting the action, instead we are supporting the troops." Appelget did read a resolution passed by the ASU Board of Trustees, reaffirm­ ing theircommitment to building the SAC. Brian Repass, SGA director of student affairs, reaffirmed the SGA's support of the S AC. In October SGA voted to increase the students' portion of the cost of the SAC. SGA did call for areferendum in January to gain student opinions of the SAC. The referendum will be held April 16 and 17. He added that the job market forcollege mates is not as favorable as in years it. "Graduates are going to find it more fficult to find positions.

Many students may not have agreed on the force used against Iraq, but all agreed the men and women in the Gulf deserved our support for their efforts. ASU is going through with plans to build the SAC even though the N.C. Leg­ islature has withdrawn funding for the project for at least three years, and the state has rejected ASU's environmental impact assessment of the site, according to the "Watagua Democrat" According to the "Charlotte Observer", $9.75 million was suspended due to state budget problems in January. Dr. Ward Zimmerman, vice chancellor of business affairs, stated in a January interview that only $2 million was frozen for funding. The $9.75 million included money the university had planned to ask for in the future. Zimmerman went on to say the SAC would be funded through private contri­ butions, student activity fees and state revenue. More than $700,000 in student fees has already been set asidefor the SAC, and $1 million more is earmarked for next year, according to Derek Harwell, a member of PASE who spoke against the SAC.

Ghent said the experience he gained as vice president will aid him as president. "I've seen decisions made in and out of the public eye, and I'11 encounter problems I've already seen," Ghent said. Murphy, who is a public defender for Student Court, said that he wants to use his experience to help inform students of the ASU judicial system. Murphy said, "I've seen a number of students who don' t know the system; some don't even know we have a student court. There needs tobe more education.' When asked how SGA will work with the administration, Ghent said, "There needs to be an atmosphere where you agree todisagree, sitdown like adults and hash things out" Ghent and Murphy said that they will continue to support the Student Activities Center unless a majority of students vote against the SAC in the April referendum. Ghent said, "I can represent what a majority of students want, I feel very comfortable in speaking for whatever the students want.... The turnout for the vote is the key." A debate between the two student body presidential candidates took place last Wednesday evening at theStudent Union. Steve Schmotzer with running mate April Blanton and current Vice-President Daryl Ghent and running mate Reggie Murphy discussed the ideas fromeach platform. A panel of students asked questions to the candidates concerning problems on cam­ pus. According to the Schmotzer/Blanton ticket, they were concerned about the amount of money that the security de­ partment takes in each year. "We think there needs to be more blue lights on campus and if the security department cannot do that, we're curious as to know where the money is going," Blanton stated. The idea of having a small section in "The Appalachian" to explain what is going on in the senate before any deci­ sions were made was suggested by Schmotzer. Schmotzer also stated that since many of the off-campus students didn't have a chance to voice their con­ cerns towardsthe school, suggestion boxes should be set up around campus. The Ghent/Murphy ticket stated that they have a passion for student govern­ ment and have been dedicated to their work in the past year and are ready to work hard again in the next year. They would like to expand the AppleNet sys­ tem, the Appalachian television network that is available to all clubs on campus. They also wish to discuss the more vital subjects that arise on campus instead of dwelling on the less pressing subjects that usually cause the most controversy. Some of the questions asked by the panel of students were about new ideas, the candidates' ideas, and criticisms of the present student government. The first question asked was, "Should senators be elected every semester, since many times students don't even know who their sena­ tors are?" Ghentresponded that they were thinking about making the senator's re­ sponsibilities stricter, but it would still be better and less confusing to have them selected each year instead of each semes­ ter.

In the ASU University Plan, increases in minority students is one major goal in the enrollment area. However, Director of Admissions Joseph Watts said that stability and maintenance are the major goals in enrollment. "We hope to maintain the quality of students here now. We don't aspire to grow except in small increments," Watts said. Watts noted the decline in the number of highschool graduates and the recession as factors affecting enrollment. "Main­ tenance doesn't sound like a lofty aspira­ tion but it is in the face of demographic decline," Watts said. Watts summed up the direction that ASU is taking, stating, "One thing that makes Appalachian unique is that it's big enough to offer a lot but not so big that a student feels like a number." the person in charge, whether it is U.S. President George Bush or ASU President-Elect Daryl Ghent. At ASU, Ghent sees "students having more involvement in the planning process of the university. They will have more of a say in the direction that the university is headed." There has been a 28 percent increase in student fees in the past two years, and the state legislature is planning to ask for an addition 20 percent increase in the up­ coming year, according to Ghent. "Due to these increases, I believe that students will be more active in dealing with state legislature on issues such as tuition," Ghent said.

I found the free-time reading of Todd to be of the utmost interest, mainly because he included a title unfamiliar to me that corresponded well to his psychology major. "Autobiography of a Schizo­ phrenic Girl" sounds like something I would like, although the author is unknown. Dorothee's reading list also corresponded frighteningly well to her major, including Sartre's "Nausea" andBenjaman HofFs "TheTao of Pooh." If you haven't guessed that Dorothee's major is philosophy, maybe you should read "The Tao of Pooh." Maybe you should anyway.

Goethe, and I, encourage you wholeheartedly. Celebrities and relatives admired by many By TAMMY PARKS Appalachian Staff Writer Whom do you admire the most? Most ASU students put their parents at the top of the list. The reason ranged from the great role model influence to the support and understanding they received from their parents. "My parents are the greatest influence in my life," said Jill Wallace, ASU stu­ dent. Grandparents also scored high as the most ad­ mired people. "My grandfather left home at an early age. He was from a poor family in North Carolina. He went to West Virginia at age 16 to find a job to help support the family. That is why I admire him so much," said student Lewis McNeil. Three athletes were admired for their positive influence on youths. "Michael Jordan is a great role model for children," said student Janet Avant. Jordan promotes staying in school and he is also active in the "Just Say No" drug cam­ paign. David Robinson, who is known as the greatest center to ever play basketball, was also named. "David Robinson is a great role model. Not only is he a good athlete, he is also well known for his academic achievements. Heattended the U.S. Naval Academy and is no w an officer.

There will be a need for seclusion to work out your ideas and feelings that often come from your unconscious mind. Be wary of your quick temper and argumentative nature. Taurus (April21-Mcry 20)—Love and romance are accentuated as well as artistic and business endeavors. Self-indulgence and strong-headedness will mar relationships. Your personal finances may be tight as well. Becareful of trying to remake others before trying to remake yourself. Gemini (May 21-June 20)—Your continuously working mind needs a rest, and now is the best time to do it. Travel, relaxation and becoming more in tune with your inner self are good ways to spend your time. Constant babbling and nervous tension caused by overworking should be avoided. Cancer (June 21 -July 21)—The domestic sphere will be in a tumult for a while as family members battle amongst themselves. Use your strong intu­ ition and sensitivity to avoid and ease the tension around you. This is also a period of renewed health and stamina which can be used to help others. Leo (July 22-Aug. 22)—This period bestows a sense of altruism, affection, optimism and renewed self-confidence.

His strength and ability I admire and respect," said Jenny Jones. Walt Disney is admired because he makes the whole world smile. His movies are full of lessons about life. Also Jim Henson's Muppets appeal to people of all ages. They keep people of all ages young. Among people whoare admired for theirreligious leadership is Dr. Billy Graham. "Dr. Billy Graham does not allow the modem world to distract his missions of teaching others about the word of God. He does not consider himself above others. He is a very humble man." said Wallace. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is also admired."Dr. King struggled for equality for all mankind. Al­ though he was harassed and arrested, he managed to make a peaceful platform." said Travis Martin. "Rev. John P. Kee is the king of contemporary gospel," said one student While asking otheT students whom they admire the most I got a very interesting response. One young lady said herself. When asked why, she said,"Like Whitney Houston said in her song 'The Greatest Love of All,' everybody is looking for a hero. People need someone to look up to. I never found anyone to fulfill my needs. A lonely place to be, so I learned to depend on me. I feel that with all the drug problems and teen pregnancy, well, nega­ tive things in general, I think I need to live my life for me. What I am trying tosay is, don't put all your admiration in someone else. Put some in yourself, so that others (if they want) can follow your posi­ tive example."

He also reminded the panel of his idea to have a section in "The Appalachian" to allow people to see what was going on.

Ghent suggested starting environmental groups around campus. Blanton suggested taking away the plastic cups next year and replace them with reusable cups. One of the last questions of the evening was, "How can students care about what is going on?" Schmotzer answered, "One of the best ways to get involved is to know what is going on in the school." After winning the election, Ghent stated, "I think they (Schmotzer/Blanton ticket) uncovered some issues that merit looking into. Reggieandlwill include these inour agenda next year."

What does it take to major in the Appalachian art programs on campus which include music, theater and art? I interviewed a handful of students from the more than 800 arts majors to understand what makes those students choose such versatile and risky majors. The music department has about 250 undergraduate students. This approxima­ tion is slightly lower than last year's. This major involves solo performances and performing with ensembles. Many of the students are music education majors. However, others hope to perform and/or compose in the music industry. Joey Dunlevy hopes to be a music teacher one day. "I became interested in teaching band while in high school. I helped out with a band tutorial system at a junior high." Some of the classes that music majorshave to take aremusic theory, music history and music methods. "My specialty is the saxophone, but music ma­ jors have to be able to play every instru­ ment. This isdefinitely a five-yearplan, at least," said Dunlevy. "If you don't seriously lovemusic, then the program will be very frustrating for you," said music education major Karma Valentine. There are a lot of required classes including music seminar and en­ TUIT I/I v rw? rr moto courtly of ASU Nmt* Bureau IT FOR THE r UN OF IT: Appalachian has over 800 students majoring in art, music or theater.

Karma ividually, yet receive only one credit hour. would like to teach and conduct. When asked if there was a big demand for music teachers, she replied, "There's a good demand for good majors." The theater is something that is unreal to most people.The thought of having the nerve to stand in front of an audience of any size and display a range of emotions takes courage.There are 75 majors within the department right now. Most of the students are theater education majors who hope to teach in high school, or college. Other students hope to haveaprofessional apprenticeship with theater companies. I found acouple of theater majors hang­ ing around in Chape 11 Wilson Hall one afternoon. "We're all a family, and you can't say that about many departments," said Derek King. "People in theater have to like to embarrass themselves. You have to be bom with the desire." When asked how the theater program is here. King said,"This program isexcellent compared to other schools that I've visited." Cameron Richardson expressed similar feelings, "This is a good program. There are a lotof hard-working people here." Richardson, a sophomore, exclaimed, "I got bitten by 'the bug' in high school!" The art department has approximately 594 undergraduate majors this year. Un­ fortunately, the art department refused to release any other information about their majors. However, the students weremuch more willing to talk. Clay Riley,a graphic design major, said about his decision to become an art major, "When you find yourself going to the woodpile and mak­ ing stuff instead of going out with your See ATTITUDES page 6 Variations on '70s fashion trends recycled for that '90s look j DOV SHERMAN hian Staff Writer | Remember when tie-dyes were the lyle?

You will not have peoples' full attention because of the high emotionality of the period, so expect to be on your own for a while. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)—A period of hard work is coming to an end. Relation­ ships will be difficult to maintain and you may be caught up in a whirlwind of feel­ ings that try your nerves. Do not let them get you down. New doors are opening and romance is just around the comer. Libra (Sept.23-Oct. 22)—Artistic en­ deavors and social gatherings are the main focus of this period. Relationships are going to be stressful and must be ap­ proached with caution. Do not let your emotional vulnerability drag you down with everyone else. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)—A period of power struggles, especially in your family, is dominating your life. Your re­ sourcefulness and desire to initiate change will help you to combat this situation. Business affairs should go well. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)—Intel­ lectual pursuits, hard work and a renewal of health and stamina characterize this period. Wanderlust and laziness may mar goal achievement and strain relationships with employers. Be careful of pushing your beliefs on others. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)—Your emotions are going to be jumbled up for a while as those around you get restless. Use caution in your approaches and look more toward the future. There is light at the end of the tunnel, so do not let pessi­ mism and concentration on the past hinder you. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)—Spon­ taneity is the keyword for this period. Delightful and unusual experiences are coming soon, as well as travel and ro­ mance. Cooperative efforts and relation­ ships with co-workers are highlighted. Be careful of impatience and instability. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)—Ro­ mance, intuitive understanding and aestheticism color this period. The high emotionality of your environment can lead to escapist tendencies, psychosomatic illnesses and self-deception. Use your inner strength, healing powers and strong powers of intuition to cope.

According to athletic department offi­ cials, ASU has made a commitment to insure that ASU athletes are also ASU students, with academics and graduation being high priorities. "I would say that, if you look at the overall picture, it's my opinion that, yes, our student-athletes are first and foremost students," said Dr. Alan Hauser, ASU faculty representative to the National Collegiate Athletic Association."I do think our student-athletes do well in terms of the way inwhich they stack up to other students in the university. "Our graduation rate for the student athlete has always been just about right at the same level as it is for students overall in the student body." The 1988 report filed to the NCAA regarding graduation rates atAS U reported that for students who entered as freshmen in fall of 1982, 48 percent of the entire student population graduated, while 51 percent of ASU's recruited athletes graduated. In 1989, reporting for those whoentered as freshmen in the 1983-1984 school year, 47 percent of the student body graduated, while 45 percent of the athletes received their diplomas. "The NCAA or statistical people tell us that if we are within five percentage points of the student body, then we'reOK," ASU Athletic Director Roachel Laney said. "I don'tbelieve that.

According to Hauser, Thomas is com­ mitted to running a clean athletic program and "to running a program that has sound academic values and procedures." Hauser also said he is impressed with the academic programs of the conference schools ASU competes against. "Appalachian belongs to the Southern Conference, and I would say I have a great deal of pride in the way in which the institutions of the the Southern Confer­ ence are good sound academic institu­ tions," Hauser said. "I feel we compete against schools in the Southern Confer­ ence who share our perspective of the importance of academics in the athletic enterprise. None of them fall outside of the pail of being responsible in terms of the way they treat their student-athletes as students." Hauser said although "a significant number"of collegeathletic programs have serious problems with their academic pro­ cedures, these colleges should not be looked at as representative of all pro­ grams. "(If the public has) the perception that most student-athletes are dummies who have the athletic ability but don't do much academic work, then they've gonen a very grotesque and wrong impression of stu­ dent-athletes," Hauser said. 'The vast majority of people who compete in intercollegiate athletics are average students. I don'tmean 'C' students, but they are going to be typical students," Hauser said. 44 5? Wk " i oett-xeawrc I ppalachian already conforms to Knight Commission standards KURT C. WARD achian Sports Editor ASU will have few changes to make if ' reforms suggested by the Knight Emission, released in areport last week, e implemented by the National Colle­ ge Athletic Association. Last Tuesday, the Knight Commission Intercollegiate Athletics, co-chaired William C. Friday, former president toe University of North Carolina and Father Theodore M. Hesburg, 'dent-emeritus of Notre Dame, lied for reform in college athletics by leasing a 37-page report based on 'months of study. If the findings are 11 into effect by the NCAA, ASU will have few changes to make, as mostof the amendments the commission sug­ gested are already enforced at Appala­ chian. The report, entitled "Keeping the Faith with the Student-Athlete," suggested a "one-plus-three" model for reform. This model demands presidential leadership of the athletic department and suggests it be applied to academic integrity, financial integrity and accountability through cer­ tification. If applied, the suggestions will further the reforms that the NCAA has been making regarding college athletics in the past years and particularly the past few months. During their January convention, the NCAA began what some have called the road to reform, voting in several changes at that time. ASU Athletic Director Roachel Laney called Appalachian ahead of its time, in that the Mountaineer athletic department already applies much of what the com­ mission and the NCAA suggest. According to Laney, Chancellor John Thomas is already in control. "Fortunately, Chancellor Thomas served on the Presidents' Commission to the NCAA," Laney said. "That helped him a lot, because, for the first time he was able to be exposed to the workings of the NCAA and college athletics. So it edu­ cated him to what we are about." According to Laney, Chancellor Tho­ mas served on this committee, which writes and endorses NCAA legislature, for four years beginning in 1984. Laney said Chancellor Thomas made the athletic director part of the ASU administrative cabinet. 'The athletic director sits with the vice chancellors of the university and meets with them every time they get together," Laney said. "With that, not only does the athletic department become involved with every­ thing that is happening on campus, those other areas also become involved in ath­ letics," Laney said. Dr. Alan Hauser, ASU faculty repre­ sentative to the NCAA, said Chancellor Thomas has been "in chargeof the athletic program since day one as chancellor." Hauser also regarded the chain of com­ mand as one of the reasons corruption doesn't exist at ASU. Laney and Hauser both report directly to Chancellor Thomas.

"By bringing in an additional member, it helps us keep an automatic berth to the NCAA," Laney added. Hart pointed out that Georgia Southern was not broughtinto theconference solely because of their football exploits. "We didn't need help in football," Hart said. "But, the addition of Georgia Southern makes us the very best I-AA football conference in the country." Hart said the Southern Conference plans to expand even more in the future, possibly growing to 12 teams and two divisions. "We would like to get to 12 teams," Hart said. "Then we would form two divisions. That would cut down on travel and would create great geographic rival­ ries." "We like the idea and concept there," Laney said of the two-division format. "That gives you a lot of opportunities to do some different things. It would cut down on travel, on costs and give you some good competition. According to Hart, the Southern Con­ ference has been looking into the idea of expansion for several years. 'Two years ago, we were looking at the two-division format. Hart said. After other conferences started expanding, we decided to look at expansion now." See MEMBERSHIP page 9 In the fall of 1986, Chancellor Thomas stated that he would no longer make admission exceptions for athletes. At ASU, athletes must meet the same admission requirements as the rest of the student body (see related article this page). The report also said, "Graduation rates of student-athletes in each sport will be similar to the graduation rates of other students who have spentcom parable time as full-time students." "Ourgraduationrate for student athletes has always been just about right at the same level as it is for students overall in the student body," Hauser said (for per­ centages from the past three years, see related article this page). See APPALACHIAN page 9 Prop 48 initiates NCAA improvements xpand to 12 teams Sl,EA Dr. James Strom, vice chancellor for de­ velopment and public affairs, while Brad Bemdt, the academic advisor to ASU's athletes, reports to the General College, not the athletic department, according to Hauser. "We do not have, assome of these highpowered athletic institutions have, a booster club or an alumni association out there that is pumping all kinds of money into the athletic program via a pipe that totally goes around the chancellor's of­ fice," Hauser said. As far as academic integrity, the com­ mission stated in its introduction, "Cutting academic comers in order toadmit athletics will not be tolerated. Student-athletes will not be admitted unless they are likely, in the judgment of academic officials, to graduate." By KURT C. WARD Appalachian Sports Editor AppatecMan Hta Ftwto SUCCESS STORY: Sam Gibson (44) entered ASU as an ineligible player due to the NCAA's Proposition48. However, Gibson graduated on time and left Appalachian with a degree in finance. While serving as ASU's center for three seasons, Gibson racked up 1,266 career points, good enough for 10th palce on the Mountaineers all-time scoring list. One of the first steps toward reform by the National Collegiate Athletic Asso­ ciation was the implementation of Proposition 48, which places academic guidelines on the eligibility of incoming freshmen. Proposition 48 says that, for a student to be eligible, he or she must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 in a core curriculum of 11 units and a minimum combined total of 700 on the Scholastic Aptitude Test. The Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics said in a report released last Tuesday, "Proposition 48 has served intercollegiate athletics well. It has helped insure that more student-ath­ letes are prepared for the rigors of un­ dergraduate study." "We have had students that fall into that category, but not many," ASU's faculty representative to the NCAA Dr. Alan Hauser said of Proposition 48. "One of the things I looked at at the , beginning of this year was the graduation success of the Prop 48 students that have come in," ASU Athletic Director Roachel Laney said. "I was willing to make a decision that we were not going to allow any more Prop 48s. Then, when I looked at the statistics, 50 percent of all of our Prop 48s have graduated. It's at the same level of graduation as those that meet the re­ quirements," Laney said. Laney pointed to Sam Gibson, ASU's starting center who graduated last year, as an example of a successful student who was ineligible his freshman year due to Proposition 48. In his senior season, the 1989-1990 campaign, Gibson led the Mountaineers in scoring, averaging 15.2 points per game, rebounding with 6.9 boards per contest and blocked shots with 47. "Sam was a Prop 48 who came in here, was a finance major and ended up graduating on time and getting a job with a bank," Laney said. "The kid had a problem with scoring on a test, and he got labeled as a Prop 48. That's unfortunate." Laney called the implementation of Proposition 48, "The first step in the right direction by the NCAA." "That was the first time that they tried to put some minimum standards for ad­ missions," Laney said."Before it was left up to each individual university. "They (also) did not point out how many hours had to be passed in order to be eligible. There was this nebulous term out there that you were 'making progress towardadegree.' And what was 'progress'? "We were ahead of the times in that the Southern Conference already had the 24hour rule. You must pass 24 hours during the academic year to return and beel igible. That's now what the NCAA has done.

WARD Appalachian Sports Editor AS U Athletic Director Roachel Laney is a realist who does not feel the Appala­ chian athletic department should be striving for national recognition "Appalachian State University is a regional institution," Laney said. "It fulfills a need that is out there. Basically our mission statement of the university 1 is that we have a quality undergraduate education program. We do not have the reputation that we are research ori­ ented. Because of the type of university we are, I think that predicates the type of athletic department we have." Laney said that ASU is "very competi­ tive" at its level and has a "great name recognition in the region." He said it is difficult to obtain national recognition, requiring "dollars and resources" that ASU doesn't have. "I don't have a problem with that," Laney said. "I think we do a great job with who we are and what we are doing, and I feel like we keep things pretty much in per­ spective. The goal of our athletic department is to be the best we can be." Laney said if a sport contains a confer­ ence championship, then ASU will set a goal to win that conference champion­ ship. "Our goal is not to win a national championship, Laney said.

Indiana legislators want contests to start before 8:10 p.m. Individually Fireproofed Fully Furnished 10% Discount and Reduced Deposits For Students i- i • * (CPS) In an effort to encourage stu­ dent athletes and fans to get a good night's sleep, legislators in Indiana have intro­ duced a bill that would forbid state uni­ versities from playing non-tournament basketball games after 8:10 p.m. The bill is aimed at stopping Purdue and Indiana universities' basketball teams from playing on"Big Monday,"a night of three games produced by ESPN, a cable sports channel. "Anybody who believes that we have athletics for the students would be in favor of this bill," said Rep. Jerry Bales, RBloomington, one of the bill's sponsors. "The opponents are money-hungry people who want to exploit the players to make their money," Bales said. Every Monday night, ESPN telecasts a Big East game at 7:30 p.m. EST, a Big 10 game at 9:30 p.m. EST and a Big West game at midnight EST. Teams in the Mountain and Pacific time zones, as a result, have tipped off as late as 10:30 p.m. local time so ESPN can squeeze in two or three games Monday through Thursday nights, reported ESPN spokesman Michael Soltys. "I think all of us agree that 9:30 is too late," said Jim Vruggink, director of ath­ letic public relations at Purdue. It s especially troublesome for teams when they're on the road and don't get back to school until the early morning," he said. B ales said heintroduced the bill because Indiana Coach Bob Knight complained the late games interfered with the ath­ letes' studies. But the late-night games seem to be popular with fans, who have been known to show up in pajamas and make the national focus on their campuses into fes­ tive events. I think the fans love it," Vruggink admitted. "There's addedexcitement when (ESPN sportscaster) Dick Vitalecomes to town." ESPN s Soltys added the network isn't too worried about Indiana teams refusing to be televised, noting Big 10 teamsincluding Indiana and Purdue—have a contract to play on camera on Monday nights. 262-0996 • 2 Bedrooms •2 Bathrooms mmt Up to 4 Parking Spaces per Unit REG1ST.

"We are talking to schools," Hart said. I The addition ofGeorgia Southern opened alot of eyes. It started an avalanche." "We are still actively pursuing expan­ sion," Laney said.

"Schools have asked us not to throw their names out," Hart said. "It hurts those schools that are in other confer­ ences." Hart stated that the Southern Conference looks for several qualities when selecting an institution as a possible addition to the league. Another aspect of the Knight Commission's "one-plus -three" model, is financial integrity, and it said, "Athletic departments will not operate as indepen­ dent subsidiaries of the university." Again, ASU is unaffected. "All of our monies go through the uni­ versity accounts," Laney said."The check we write is the same as any other depart­ ment on campus. It has to go through the controller's office." ASU also meets the third criteria for reform—certification. "Keeping the Faith with theS tudent-Athlete"said,"Each year, every NCAA institution will undergo a thorough, independent audit of all aca­ demic and financial matters related to athletics." Laney said that the books of the ASU athletic department are "open." "Not only do we have an internal audit done by the university, we have a state audit done externally, and it's done twice a year," Laney said. He said that the department receives good audit reports, because "we follow state guidelines and systems here." Laney said the ASU athletic budget is approximately two million dollars."When you have that type of money then you've got to approach it in a business format," Laney said. He said ASU has several sources of funding, including game guarantees, gate receipts, contributions and student fees. - Don't walk _ Call Mountain 262-6438.

Hart hinted that although the confer­ ence has no timetable in reaching their 12team goal, something could happen soon. "In the next month something could happen," Hart said. "We're moving a lot toward our 12-team goal." "We have the green light for further expansion," Hart added.

"Now the off-season is a little different," Laney said. The NCAA now limits stu­ dents to eight hours per week involve­ ment in off-season athletics. "That will have to be closely moni­ tored," Laney said. "There might have been times when we exceeded that." "What the NCAA is trying to do is allow the student athlete to be the stu­ dent," Laney said Beginning in 1996, athletes will not be allowed to live in separate residence halls. ASU currently only has one floor of one hall. Justice, that is exclusively athletes, Laney said. The NCAA has also limited the number of meals served on the athletic training table to one. ASU currently serves two meals and Laney hopes the NCAA will take a second look at this amendment. "There are nutritional needs that the athlete has, and the two meals help to see that those are met," Laney said. "I do agree that it isbetter to mainstream our student-athletes and let them be part of the student body," Laney said. "They don't need to be separate." Laney said that a large number of the approximately 425 athletes at ASU are "already mainstreamed." "Out of the 18 sports (offered at ASU), football and basketball men and women are the only three that basically have all there players together," Laney said. "The other 15 have players all over campus." At its January convention, the NCAA began to set in stone some reforms for college athletics.Included inthese changes were the time allowed for students to participate in sports and the number of meals allowed in a training-table format. The voting members of the convention also did away with athletic dorms. Again the ASU athleticdepartment will have little trouble complying. "I think it's certainly true that the way in which we have configured ourselves has anticipated what's been happening within the NCAA," Hauser said. Laney said that the demands being placed on students was one of the areas in which college athletics had gotten out of perspective. "The NCAA is reducing the number of contests a sport can have," Laney said. "They're limiting how many hours per week you can practice. They're limiting how many hours in theoff-season you can do anything. They're limiting travel, when you can leave and how long you can be gone. "I think all of those things are healthy. "Fortunately, what they did, I think they borrowed our policies and procedures book from here and they more or less passed a lot of the policies that we already had here." Laney said the ASU athletic department did not allow its teams to play the maxi­ mum number of games allowed by the NCAA. The NCAA made 20 the magic number of hours a student can spend per week involved in athletics.

WARD Sports Editor THOMAS RIGGINS News Editor "The Annninri. COMMENTARY Arab lands in an endless cycle of violence. A new elemen t was added in 1965 wi th the formation of the Palestine Liberation ganization. The West Bank and Gaza,' which now are areas of contention for Palestinian rights, were then in Arab control. The original purpose of the PLO, which people seem to forget, and as the PLO Charter still states, was the destruc­ tion of the state of Israel. There wasn't anything else for the Palestinians to "lib­ erate" in 1965. The second set of circumstances to re­ call are those in 1967 leading to the war. The cross border raids continued, espe­ cially from Jordan which controlled the West Bank and from Syria which also engaged in sporadic artillery fire into Is­ rael. The Israelis responded on a number of occasions, especially on April 7 when six Syrian planes wereshot down as Israel attacked artillery positions across the bor­ der. With raids continuing into Israel, and Israel threatening larger retribution against Syria in self-defense, Egypt, hearing re­ ports of Israeli military preparations and in observance of its 1966 defense pact with Syria, alerted its armed forces on May 14 and began moving troops into Sinai Peninsula positions bordering Is­ rael, deploying some 90,000 by May 20. On May 17, Syria broadcast that its mili­ tary had been brought to maximum pre­ paredness and deployed 12,000 troops its 35,000 man force from Y along Israel's border. Sinai.

First, let us introduce ourselves: we are the Sexual Awareness Group at Appalachian (SAGA), a support/service group dealing with issues of all sexual orientations. We have approximately 50students,primarily gay, who regularly attend our meetings since our founding a year and half ago. We have several questions to raise about Mr. Bauman's article. To start, because Mr. Bauman has phrased his editorial in such a way as to invalidate any emotional reply, this re­ sponse will deal solely with facts. More­ over, we notice that the editor's note lists Mr. Bauman's undergraduate degree as theology and assume that Mr. Bauman draws his comments from a basis in a fundamental interpretation of Christianity. We very much affirm Mr. Bauman's right to practice and adhere to his faith. Simi­ larly, we very much believe that the white South African Afrikaaners have the right to their own faith as expressed in the Dutch Reform Church. The Dutch Reform Church, however, believes anyone has the right to force allof society to adhere to romance, the same is true of homosexual­ someone s doctrinesimply because it may ity. For gays, the issue is a matter of be the majority or leading group's belief discrimination, and gay people are forced (as in the case of apartheid).Let us clarify to organize as a separate minority to fight as well that we arenot calling Mr.B auman for basic human rights in the same manner a racist but are simply drawing an allegory as older Americans, Afro-Americans, between the Dutch Reform Church's Native Americans, the handicapped, former position on apartheid and the so­ women and others. cial consequences of denyingother people In Denmark and Sweden, the only their rights based on personal views.

But homosexuality ancient does not make it accepted Item? acceptable) or morally correct. (or ,ui(j we encourage and accept Murder simply because it "has existed" {or so long? Or rape? O r maybe we lUld offer seminars on child abuse at iimity colleges. And maybe a few 'lasses on drug tampering or how to weak the most havoc on the environ­ ment, just because they've been around. Sound good? Not likely. So why should homosexuality be treated any differ­ ently? Regardless of race, color, or religion, if God or whoever you worship as the Creator had meant for same-gender sexual relations to take place, he would have made our body parts a bit differently. The idea that homosexuality is hereditary is ludicrous. If homosexu­ ality were (as most homosexuals insist) truly hereditary, then why do we (homosexuals included) call it "sexual preference?" I don't know how they define 'Preference," but according to my sources it means "choice," "selec­ tion," "option," or "desire." It's not inherited. It's not learned. It's not taught. It's a choice, plain and simple. It s not something that happens when you're conceived. It's not a decision your parents make for you. It's a choice homosexuals make willingly and without outside intimidation. Discrimination and anti-gay violence are not answers. But, then, neither is the Queer Nation slogan, "We're here, we're queer, get used to it." If that is not a defiant yell for violence and aggres­ sion, then my GPA is a 5.00. I'm not saying they ask for violence to be inflicted upon them, but I'm not saying they don't. It's like wading into a pit of starving crocodiles with a bleeding cut and asking not to be bitten. Love is not an issue—gay relations cannot possess love as God intended. Prejudice may occur, but it is neither a cause nor a factor. A choice is made, and no amount of hatred or violence can ever change that choice. I do not support the "heinous crimes" of which James Davis, Jr., speaks. I am not an endorser of the gay bashings or lesbian rapes of which he writes. But I have a Bible, and it says a few things on the subject of homosexuality. One of the things it says is, 'Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination," (Leviticus 18:22). "If a man also lie with mankind...both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; thenblood shall be upon them," (Leviticus 20:13). That sounds like a pretty serious statement, not one to be ignored. In Romans 1:26-32 it says, "...for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature. And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman...working that which is unseemly...they which commit such things are worthy of death...." I'm not the most intelligent being on this planet, but I know a bad idea when I see one. Everyone, regardless of their sexual preference has certain rights, some of them God-given. Homosexuals are not excluded from those rights, and I am not attempting to discriminate against them or show prejudice towards them. But I am trying to open the eyes of the people to whom that is written. Kimberly Norris wrote of stupidity and ignorance and even bigotry. I show none of these, and I fail to believe that God, who wrote such specific advice so long ago on such a paltry subject, exhibits any of the above. Maybe homosexuality isn't a moral question. Even so, when organizations like Queer Nation are able to even exist upon this, the greatest nation of Earth, I know something is wrong. Hatred is wrong. Prejudice and violence are wrong. Homosexuality is very wrong. Hugh Morton's donation of a conserva­ tion easement to the Nature Conser­ vancy. The north face of Grandfather was not mentioned.

It was over before troops being sent from Algeria, Sudan, Kuwait, Morocco and Libya could arrive to assist. At its conclusion, Israel controlled the West Bank area, all of east Jerusalem, the GazaStrip, the Sinai Peninsula and a 12-mile strip of the Syrian Golan Heights. If Israel had wanted all along to seize these areas any­ way, as some have charged, the Arab leaders with their war talk and troop mo­ bilization provided a perfect rationale for doing so. Iraq was a threat to the existence of Kuwait. The Arab countries aligned and mobilized against Israel in 1967 were a threat to its existence if a protracted war had been initiated by the Arabs at a time of their choosing. The lands seized by Israel gave it more defensible borders in the event of a land war, as demonstrated by the successful repulsionof a surprise Arab attack in the war of 1973. Kuwait would be following theIsraeli example i f itshould claim the southern part of Iraq, which the allied forces now occupy, as a buffer zone ag ainst a future Iraqi attack. Kuwait needed assistance from allied forces to reverse the results of the Iraqi attack. Israel did not need such assistance in 1967 because a:*,.fcarrra syvisias orit cutrtesrwcn-.r, United States military aid permitted Israel to defend itself from being treated as Ku­ wait was in 1990. In spite of the territorial security factor, Israel agreed to return to Egypt 90 percent of the area occupied in the 1967 war in return for a peace treaty and recognition of Israel's territorial rights as part of the Camp David Accords of 1978. These agreements were in conformity with sev­ eral provisions of UN Resolution 242, so much talked about now, which calls not only for Israeli withdrawal from occupied territories (how much of these lands it does not specify) but also for secure and recognized boundaries. It may turn out to be that some or all of the lOpercent of the area occupied in1967 that is still inIsraeli control may need to be retained for security, with recognition of that fact to be negotiated.Jordan and Syria have chosen not to follow the Egyptian example of complying with Resolution 242 by negotiating a settlement regarding peace and recognition.Until they and other Arab countries do so, it is not likely that Israel will feel justified in making any concessions on borders or for additional Palestinian rights in the areas still occu­ pied.

Tw>*Hay Marrh SAGA Continued from page 10 tide on the same issue of "The Appala­ chian" as Mr. Bauman's editorial also states that 20 percent of gay men have been assaulted for being who they are. The right to freedom of assembly would therefore appear to be of question in the case of homosexuals for some violent members of our society. The Fourth Amendment supposedly guarantees against unreasonable search and seizure. The U.S. Supreme Court re­ cently decided in a 5-4 ruling that this is not so in the case of homosexuals. In the famous Hardwicke case, a police officer entered an Atlanta gay man's home to issue a subpoena for a traffic violation. The roommate of this Mr. Hardwicke directed the officer to the bedroom where Mr. Hardwicke was with his lover. The officer entered and then immediately ar­ rested Mr. Hardwicke for aCrime Against Nature (CAN). Though Justice Harding, one of the5 justices voting to uphold CAN laws, has changed his opinion and pub­ IQQ[ licly stated he should have voted against CAN laws, the Supreme Court at that time ruled that it was legal for the states with Crime Against Nature laws to enter any person's home and arrest him or her. Ba­ sically, as North Carolina has this law (which includes any oral or non-coital sex act whether heterosexual or homosexual), the policecould legallyenter any student's home in Boone and arrest him or her for these common sex acts. In fact, a hetero­ sexual soldier was recently sentenced to 10 years after his jilted loveT claimed to the court that he demanded she perform oral sex during their earlier adulterous affair. Thus, the most basic forms of pri­ vacy are denied gaysin our state and every southern state except for West Virginia (where CAN laws have been abolished). Homosexual and bisexual people in our society can legally be fired from their jobs for their orientation, can be denied housing and insurance, can be denied visitation rights to their hospitalized partner and are daily surrounded by overt and covert forms of homophobia. For Mr. Bauman, you may well have the instance, look under "homosexual" in the thesaurus, and you will not find any posi­ right to disagree with total acceptance of tive synonyms listed.Likewise, oneof our homosexuality/homophilia.

Therefore, we at SAGA speaking for many like-minded gay, straight and bi­ sexual friends, hope that "The Appala­ chian" will pay closer attention to editori­ als published (and thus assumed to reflect approval) by the paper that may be found biased by a significant portion of the stu­ dent body, staff and faculty. Equal time should be devoted to opposing opinions.

I'm on a misj„ from God to rescue the youth and lilies of America," said Dr. Lonise *ias, mother of Len Bias, the late basketall star from Maryland who died of a nig overdose. T Bias received a standing ovation when ^Jie spoke at 7 p.m. in Farthing Audito­ rium on March 19 in a program sponsored nAppalachian's Athletic Student Assis|once Program. Commenting on the death of her son Lett Dr. Bias also spoke about the effects other other son's death three months ago. I I Jay Bias, 20, was killed as a result of handgun violence. "At one time, alcohol was the number one killer of our young people. Now it's violence, handgun violence. Jay's death is to bring attention to our violence prob­ lem and Len's death is to bring attention to the drug problem," Bias said. Pointing out problems in today's soci­ ety, Bias said, "It's a sad day in this nation when we have to be concerned about our nation's youth... We believe the lies of the world—it's okay to do what you feel like doing as long as it feels good." "We have too many young people dy­ ing today because they're having fun," Bias continued. Bias said that others learn by example, so therefore "it is necessary to remain a good student....AH of you are educators, whether you know it or not.. .We all have a responsibility. Kuwait is liberated and we mustnow liberate the young people on our college campuses." Speaking on the drug problem. Bias said,"You have no powerover drugs, you have no power over alcohol. The rehab centers, the detention centers, and the mental institutions are fullof youngpeople who said that they could fight the power." Bias' speech focused on the six lies that she said cause poor decisions and a sense of low self-esteem with young people. The first problem is feeling that materi­ alistic things can improve your life. Bias said. "There is nothing wrong with having beautiful things but our society today is too materialistic." "We have too many $200 hats on $20 brains," Bias said. The second lie is that joining the right group will bring happiness, according to Bias. "Never lower your standards to be accepted.... It's a hard world but if you keep faith, love, and hope within your­ selves you will make it through." "Big boys do cry, big boys are afraid... because pain causes you to grow. None of us have life together. There is no easy place in this life but we have to learn to deal with reality," Bias said. The third point Bias made was that following group activities will not bring acceptance. "The reality is this-you will be laughed at whether you go along with what's right or whether you go along with what's wrong." Another lie that Bias said is a problem with our youth is feeling that it's fine to disobey authority."Just because we (your parents) don't know who your heroes are today doesn't mean that we don't have wisdom." "Many of our problems stem from the destruction of ourhomes. ..don 'l lake your families for granted. We have to stop holding grudges and start to forgive," Bias said. The fifth problem that Bias sees is the viewpoint that "no one has a problem like mine." "I don'tcare whatyou'regoing through, someone else is going through something worse," Bias said. Bias talked of her son Jay's difficulty playing basketball after Len's death. She spoke about the cruel jokes and gestures that Jay had to deal with. "We must learn how to treat people," Bias said. SU observatory Students look for summer jobs receives grant ASU News Bureau ASU's Dark SkyObservatory will soon be the site of one of the most advanced telescopes in the Eastern United States. A $100,000 grant from the National Science Foundation will help purchase a 32-inch diameter telescope for the campus' Deep Gap observatory. The grant from the NSF's Instrument and Laboratory Improvement program is 55 percent of the ILI astronomy funds available for the year of the award. "It is an honor that we were so gener­ ously funded," said Associate Professor of Physics and Astronomy Dr. Daniel Caton, observatory director. "I think the award recognizes the growing reputation of Appalachian's astronomy program." Astronomy students at Appalachian will use the new telescope and viewing room lo conduct faculty-directed research projects, Caton said. Science majors need such experience early in their underpaduate careers if they are to develop an Merest in becoming scientists. The $326,000projectalso will befunded ty $100,000 in matching funds from Appalachian, $25,000 from the North Carolina Board of Science and Technol"& and $65,000 from the ASU Foundaton. The Foundation will assist in raising toe 536,000 balance. Donations of matelals and services are also being sought. The telescope will be constructed by TM Engineering of Longmont, Colo.

A computer-controlled mirror system will divert the starlight to any of five auxiliary instruments attached to the telescope. This allows the observer to take advantage of changing conditions and pick the instrument that best fits the situation. "This is a state-of-the-art telescope and a bargain at the same time, since the government has already subsidized its development," Caton said. DFM Engineering will complete the telescope in 12 to 18 months. The new telescope will join two other telescopes already in active use at the observatory. The 16 and 18 inch telescopes, housed in two domes, are used to study changes in brightness of variable stars. A house do­ nated by Lowe's Industries shelters ob­ servers and observatory guests. The DarkSky Observatory is the highest professional observatory in the Eastern United States. Its location, far from met­ ropolitan centers, provides skies free of light pollution, and the 120-acre site offers protection from nearby development. The new 32-inch telescope will be op­ erated by remote control from a control room next to the dome. This will allow observers to work in greater comfort and safety since the dome and telescope room cannot be heated. Warm air escaping from the slit in the dome would disturb the view, similar to the effect of looking over a hot parking lot on a summer day. "The romanticnotion of an astronomer visually studying the stars all night is out of date," Caton said. "The modern as­ tronomer typically spends most of the time staring at a video monitor or com­ puter screen." When the new telescope is inoperation, an open house and a new series of public viewing opportunities will be held at the observatory.

Involvement shown on database By ERIKA ALDERSON Appalachian Staff Writer Appmimchmn Photo by Troy Horocfc SUMMER JOB FAIR OFFERS POSSIBILITIES: Michaux Crocker from Camp Cheerio, High Point discusses summer jobs with seniors Susan Rankin and J.P. Gibbons during the Summer Job Fair Wednesday. The Office of Career Planning sponsored the fourth annual job fair. Local, state-wide and out-of-state employers discussed possible jobs and internships. 'GA presidential candidates present platforms during Senate meeting Schmotzer and Blanton's campaign focuses on their slogan. Putting the stu­ dent back in student government." Increasing security, improving the lines of communication between SGA and the students and boosting school spirit and pride are all issues Schmotzer and Blanton emphasize in their platform. Each candidate was allotted five min­ utes by the senate to address issues they felt to be the most critical or to speak freely about themselves and their merits. Blanton, who has participated in SGA during her years at ASU, was first to "Anybody can stand up in the good times, but who can stand up in the hard limes? Because the hard times are what count," Bias said. Bias' last point was that having pre­ marital sex will not ensure happiness. She talked about the threat of AIDS and the way that sex is depicted by the world. "We must abstain from these things that will destroy us. We have allowed the world to glorify sex...we have not taken a stand as the role models and leaders,' Bias said. "The world tells you to open your legs but I'm telling you to keep them closed," Bias said. Bias closed stating, "Where you're coming from is not important, it's where you're going." Murphy was next to speak. Murphy's involvement in student government has been concentrated in the student court system, but he is probably best known for his work on WASU. "Sacrifice, hard work, 110 percent— this is what I will bring to the senate next year," Murphy promised. The floor was then given to the presi­ dential candidates, with Schmotzer be­ ginning by recognizing and praising both tickets for the cleanliness of the cam­ paign. Schmotzer, who was senator of the year last year and whocurrently chairs the Off-Campus/Community Affairs Com­ mittee, credits his success in the SGA to the fact that he is willing to tackle the controversial issues which others arequick to avoid. While Schmotzer admits that his cam­ paign may be a bit ambitious, he said that it is important to always aim high. Schmotzer is proposing the placement of suggestion boxes all over campus, phonein hotlines and a special in "The Appala­ chian" dedicated to SGA. "Communication is the key," Schmotzer said. "I want the student gov­ ernment to be a body that represents stu­ dents. We want to do what you want us lo do," he continued. The final candidate, Ghent, also com­ mented on how well he felt the campaign had gone so far. As the present SGA vice president, Ghent spoke on both the past and the future of student government. "The most important thing I've learned is thatI couldn't pleaseeverybody,"Ghent said. "I've learned a lot from my suc­ cesses and my failures," he added. Ghent said he is ready to put his knowl­ edge to further work and concluded by saying regardless of who you vote for, the most important thing is to vote. The floor was then opened for a question-and-answer session, in which the candidates reiterated their campaign promises. In informal discussion, Mike Miller, from the Attorney General's office, re­ minded the senate of the university's posting policy. Apparently, there have been excessive violations of the policy in the last few weeks, and Miller told the senate to inform organizations that post­ ing on campus is restricted to authorized areas, such as bulletin boards. Violators can be prosecuted for the offense and enforcement will begin in early April. In other SGA news, Brian Repass, offcampus senator has been appointed as director of state affairs. Repass replaces Randy Hill, who resigned. Sports. Clubs. Social organizations. Offices held. Achievements. Awards. Soon all these things may be available in a transcript form much like that of an academic transcript. The student development transcript will be available beginning fall 1991, according to Dino Dibcmardi, associate director of student involvement and leadership. There will be a student development database that will hold various information on all the students at ASU. This database will sift through all of the information and select that which is needed for the student development transcript. "These transcripts will profile co-curricular involvement of all students, hopefully showing progress of the student as he or she continues at Appalachian," said Dibcmardi. A list of activities, such as greek orga nizations, service fraternities and intra­ mural and club sports will be included. In addition to activities, development and leadership skills will also be covered. Any student who has held an office, chaired a committee, or belonged to an organiza­ tion which entailed possession of leader­ ship skills will have that informationlisted on their transcripts. The project is being headed up by the members of the Center for Student In­ volvement and Leadership, according to Dibemardi. There will also be a graduate student employed to help collect andcon­ firm the information compiled on the stu­ dents. Once all of the student information is gathered, it will be programmed into the database. From all of the collected data the center of student involvement and leadership will then beable to produce the student development transcripts in a final draft, explained Dibemardi. "These first transcripts will help us evaluate the data and see what type of adjustments we need to make on ideas for this project," Dibemardi said. If the student development transcript is a success, every student will be able to have a stored record of the activities that they participated in at ASU. This will enable students to receive a copy of their transcripts whenever they need one. These transcripts will also be very helpful for the students who need to show a list of references for various job appli­ cations and interviews, Dibemardi said. Currently the academic transcripts in­ clude courses in which the student is presently enrolled and all past courses. Employers are looking for more than just grades; they want the people that work for them to be well-rounded, Dibemardi said. "The academic transcript doesn't re­ flect leadership opportunities and things a student does outside of the classroom," said Mary Ann Sabo, coordinator of studentpublications and studentinvolvement and leadership. �Jhe Appalachian Thursday Mnrrh 21. 1991 Blood drive sponsored: Sigma Phi Epsilon and the Boone Jaycees , "e co-sponsoring a blood drive for the American Red Cross on Tuesday.

Five computers stolen from Kerr Scott lj<i By THOMAS RIGGINS Appalachian News Editor Five computersvalued atS12,000 were stolen from Ken Scott Hall on Wednes­ day night, March 13. Dr. Alfred V. Rapp, acting chairman of the technology department discovered the computers missing Thursday morning at 6:30 a.m. According to Dr. Rapp, the theft must have occurred sometime after security checked the building at 10 p.m Wednes­ day. Roy A. Tugman, director of Public Safety and Security, said ASU Security has requested assistance from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and ax press time there were no suspects. Rapp commented, "I don't believe it was an ASU student." Rapp said the hardware selected was machines that were giving the department trouble and that the computers would be "extremely hard to sell because a good bit stolen was fairly old technology." The computers stolen cannot be re­ placed through recovery means such as insurance. According to Dr. Ward Zimmerman, vice chancellor for business affairs, "Most states are self insured."

In fact, some might say that the movie shouldn't have been called "The Doors" at all, but rather "The Life and Times of Jim Morrison." The other three members of the band really didn't play much of a significant role in the film. When watching the film, pay special attention to the end credits. Many of the small roles in the movie were actually played by other rock artists. John Densmore, the real drummer for the Doors, has a cameo role as a studio engineer. Other important people in the movie in­ clude; Billy Idol, Eric Burdon (of the Animals) and Bill Graham (a west-coast concert promoter responsible for helping many bands become successful). Overall, "The Doors" is an interesting look back at a turbulent time in rock 'n' roll history. It also gives a whole new generation the chance to experience mu­ sic that was raw and upfront.

In "Danny Boy" for example, two flutes open with one playing the melody while the other plays a countermelody. During the first refrain, the melody flute continues while the countermelody flute drops out to let the viola play countermelody, and the cello harmonizes with them. For the second and third verses a viola plays melody, a violin plays countermelody and the cello and flute harmonize. The music fades as the song closes. Shannon takes familiar songs and ar­ ranges them ih a Way 'you've neverheard before. For example, how often have you heard "Greensleeves" ("What Child Is This") played on a dulcimer backed up by a cello, violin, flute and handbells? Its beautiful! "Amazing Grace" opens with the an­ gelic sounds of Nancy Tippett playing handbells.

Another hymn, "Simple Gifts" (also known as "Lord of the Dance") opens with Aubrey Spurlock picking the melody out on a classical guitar while chords are plucked in the background on another guitar. Cecil Gurganus joins in on the chorus playing dulcimer and then carries the melody for the duration of the song. A unique arrangement for a familiar song. Dr. William Spenser, a retired ASU music faculty member, arranged some beautiful countermelodies for the violin and the oboe. Tire other individual musi­ cians arranged their own countermelodies sometimes while they were playing. Other tunes on the album include: "Star of theCountry Down,""The RiddleSong," "O'Carolan's Concerto," "Shepherd's Wife's Waltz," "Calm Squire," "The Minstrel Boy,""Home Sweet Home" and "Wayfaring Stranger." "Warmlight" showcases the talents of Joe Shannon and The Appalachian Acoustic Ensemble.

Rankin captures our attention from the very start with Buddhavision, postnuclear war, the Dalai Dan (153rd incar­ nation of the Lama of that ilk), kinky sex, theological warfare, "The Suburban Book of the Dead,"and Elvis on aquest through time, the Presliad. Rankin creates a world of insane comedy and far-fetched drama. And yet he manages to keep it somehow believable. The story revolves around Rex Mundi, Elvis Presley and the aliens of Planet Phnaargos (whobroadcast'The Earthers," a soap opera filmedlive from guess -where and have been manipulating Earth's progress since its creation, especially dur­ ing sweep's week), the Dalai Dan and his game show Nemesis, and a planet full of dedicated TV-viewers.

And what about the mysterious Jovil Jspht, the Phnaargian TV-executive who disap­ peared after his trip back in time to pick up Elvis? Rankin truly shows his creativity in this, his first American publication. That's the pitch, now here's the windup. "ARMAGEDDON: The Musical" is a very funny comedy with a very dry, ab­ surd, English sense of humor. Even the Phnaargians spoke in English slang. The book began with a few chapters of background exposition whichwas handled in a humorous way that kept your atten­ tion. I don't think the explanation for the nuclear holocaust event, as it was described in the book, was very believ­ able, and it seemed to be an obvious plot device. The lead character. Rex Mundi, whose name is Latin for "the earthly king," seemed passive andunsympathetic at first, but his character became clearer later in the book as he grew with the plot. Elvis Presley's character was very flat, shallow s Guest Recital • clarinetist Lynn Beebe • 8 p.m. • Broyhill Music Center • \ i / V.l_£ A I /.... LI and superficial, which is exactly what the King was really like, so the character was very believable. The Dalai Dan, though sympathetic at first, quickly earns the readers' distaste and resentment, though, I think, not enough considering his secret identity as later re­ vealed. The inclusion of Rambo Bloodaxe and Deathblade Eric, the cannibalistic exaristocrats, was a nice touch. Good for comic relief and irony, I found it hard to understand why Eric was still alive if half his head had been blown off and bits of his brain were constantly falling out. How could he still be alive much less up and about? At first the Phnaargians were hard to distinguish from one another, but later in the book different characters seemed to evolve, but not very different. StilL I was never quite sure if someof the Phnaargians had disappeared without my noticing. Jovil Jspht was the only Phnaargian who seemed to have any distinct person­ ality to distinguish him from the rest, and he disappears about half way through the book. Christeen was a wonderfully mys­ terious character and a real surprise. And her brother...well, I wouldn't want to give away the surprise ending. One other nice feature of the book was the use of quotations at the beginning of each chapter, a technique first used by Robert Asprin in his "Myth Adventure" series. They offered a nice rest between chapters, helping to break up the action to a digestible level and also revealed a sur­ prise subplot in the end. The humor itself was very English but often strained. However, that's to be ex­ pected in a novel of this length with so many jokes packed between the covers. The style is easy to read and flows well. And the few direct addresses to the reader can be overlooked since Rankin cer­ tainly earns the right to a little self-indul­ gence. All in all, this was a very good book, a definite rival for Asprin, Pratchett, or Adams, and one which has won one more fan for Robert Rankin. So, in the words of Dalai Dan: "Don't touch that dial!" intense performance in Zeffirelli's "Hamlet" By PAUL FLEETWOOD Appalachian Staff Writer Upon returning to my high school alma mater, I had a pleasant conversation with my very literate English teacher, Sue Thomas. A portion of our exchanges went like this: Thomas: I can't wait to see the new "Hamlet." Fleetwood: Why, Ms. Thomas, to see Franco Zeffirelli's new film style and subtextual interpretations? Thomas: No, Mel Gibson is in it! Zeffirelli has successfully cast a true star in the lead role of Shakespeare's "Hamlet." His intention was to find some­ one well-known and of public interest to attract all audiences, especially younger viewers, to Shakespeare. Gibson could not have been a better selection as far as popularity and ability as an actor. The 68-year-old director had juststarted plans to begin his version of "Hamlet" when hesaw Mel in "Lethal Weapon"and in an instant, Zeffirelli knew Gibson was absolute for the part. For Gibson, this was exactly the role he needed after appearing in two very bad movies recently with "Bird on a Wire" and "Air America." Once again, Gibson has gained an enormous amountof respect as an actor with his sharp and perfect performances as the young prince. Such atalented and attractivestar caught the eye of Zeffirelli, whose film style seemed to revolve around Gibson, mostly in the form of extreme close-ups of the actor. As far as theplay is concerned, Zeffirelli makes several changes as should be ex­ pected. The very first scene is omitted and a new beginning is established with the burial of King Hamlet. There are some deletions from the original play which were probably made for time purposes. While having a lot cut out of the movie version, the film still runs a lengthy two hours and 30 minutes. Quite a long time to be exposed to Shakespeare, but don't for­ get this is a well-crafted intellectual ac­ complishment. "Hamlet" is nominated for Best Art Director and Best Costume Design but the Academy is cheating the actors and the director by not nominating them in other deserved categories. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. Gibson is remarkably intense and wild as the visceral prince while Glenn Close is astonishing as Hamlet's serene, emotional mother. Other performances by Shakespearian actors Ian Holm, Alan Bates, and Paul Scofield are all top rate, but the perfor­ mances of the young Helena BonhamCarter as Ophelia is truly mesmerizing. Zeffirelli takes Shakespeare's play and concentrates largely on several aspects of the story.Of course, everyone has hisown opinion as to whether Hamlet was a coward or just plain crazy. Zeffirelli inspires Gibson to be believably both, but he also centers around thealmost incestuous rela­ tionship between Hamlet and his mother, Gertrude. The conflict between Hamlet and Ophelia is sparked by Gertrude's exces­ sive expressions of love for her son, and the eventual decline of Ophelia's reason is a direct result of Hamlet's inability to decide to kill his uncle. Filmed mostly at Dover Castle in En­ gland, Zeffirelli's"Hamlet" is a marvel to see and genuinely superior to any other production he has presented. With the strong support of Mel Gibson and Glenn Close. "Hamlet" may be Zeffirelli's best picture to date. �Ihe Appal{i(hl(ln I hur<./(ji\ ^iurch?l I Q(J J Classifieds PftOfESSIONAL WORD PROCESSORS /TYPISTS nZZm™" ' CcT* Len<** tetk^P WOBO U S?

Todd Bess "ried the second outof the inning as he i up to catcher Randy DeBruhl. The Bulldogs would plate another, ever, as John Turner grounded to secThis time Key fielded it cleanly, but his tentative throw to first wasn't handled by first baseman Scott Waugh and Fox came in to score. The pivotal top-half of the fourth put the Bulldogs ahead by four, 5-1. They had plated men in both the first and third timings, the first-inning run coming off a Bess homer to straight away center, and the third-inning run coming plateward on Key's first error. The Asheville lead grew to 6-1 in the top of the fifth as Ballard led off with a walk from new pitcher Jim Epler. After another error put runners on the corners, Swaim lined to right to plate Ballard. In the bottom portion of the sixth, with the score 7-2, the Mountaineers smacked five solidly hit balls, butonly two went for hits as the other three were sharp onehoppers in the infield. DeBruhl ledoff the inning with a solo blast to left, making it 7-3; however the only other sixth inning hit came from Tony McCabe wholined to left with two out. Sure, we hit some solid shots right at people, but that's aloser'sexcuse,"MorTis said. "You've got to make your own breaks, and we failed to do that." The Dogs scored their final two runs in the top of the seventh, as they again took advantage of another ASU miscue. Swaim and Bess both singled and scored in the frame, advancing on a throwing error by ASU third baseman Will Shellman. ASU attempted to stage a rally in the bottom of the seventh, scoring two runs on two hits. Key led off by taking one for the team as he squared to bunt. Shellman then lined up the middle. After Waugh reached on a fielder's choice, Johnny McCraw crushed a double to the fence in left to plate Chris Chilton, Key's pinch runner, and pxit runners on second and third. Sean Pepin, Waugh's legs, charged plateward as DeBruhl grounded to short The Apps final run came in the eighth as Joe Bernard led off with a single to shallow right Joel Sprouse then reached on an error as UNC-A shortstop Swaim threw the ball away. Chilton smashed a shot up the middle that caromed off the pitching rubber and went skyward long enough for Bernard to score, plating the Apps' final run of the day. George Young came on in relief of Michael Brooks after the Chilton shot. Brooks recorded the win, despite the fact he gave up five earned runs on 10 Moun­ taineer hits. He worked seven-and-a-third innings. Young picked up the save. Davis suffered the loss, giving up just two earned runs in four innings of work. He walked three, struck out two and al­ lowed four hits. The Bulldogs scattered 10 hits on the day, with Swaim, Bess and Ballard notch­ ing three each..Ballard went three-forfour, Bess, three-for-five, and Swaim picked his three hits up in six plate ap­ pearances. McCraw, DeBruhl and Ber­ nard each connected on a pair of hits for ASU. McCraw went two-for-four with a double, a single and two runs batted in. With the loss, the Mountaineers fell to 10-8 on the year.

CRAVER ilachian Staff Writer Both the ASU women's and men's sr track squads opened the season pastweekend with the Tiger Relays at on University. The Lady Apps cap1 three first place finishes and de­ ed one school record, while the taineer men walked away with four and one broken record. Competing with the Mountaineer teams " s squads from Clemson, the Univer­ sity of Virginia, Virginia Tech, the Uni­ versity of North Carolina at Charlotte, East Tennessee State, Furman, Western Carolina, Akron (Ohio), Miami (Ohio) and Charleston Southern Universities, and Davidson College. Women's Action Sophomore Melissa Morrison was the only individual winner for Appalachian State, clocking a time of 14.6 seconds, in the 100 meter hurdles. Morrison also ran a leg of the first place 4X100-meter relay with teammates Lynette Gardin, Alicia Foust and Tammy Pearsall. This team clocked a time of 48.0. The 4 X 1500-meter relay team of Jennifer Bowers, Laura Girouard, Traci Mclntyre and Heidi Barger captured the Lady Mountaineers' remaining first place finish with a time of 20:24.0. Capturing third place in the meet was Appalachian's Sprint Medley relay team consisting of Bowers, Pearsall, Melissa Rogers and Paige Ingram. They set a new school record with a 4:09.4 clocking. The previous mark of 4:11.1 was set in 1985. ASU Women's Head Coach John Weaver was satisfied with the perfor­ mance of his squad at Clemson. "Everyone is starting out well,"Weaver said of his outdoor team. "We only took 16 girls to the meet and I was very pleased with their performances." Junior Sabrina Hill placed second in both the triple and high jumps with marks of 38'6" and 5'4" respectively. The 4 X 200-meter relay team of Pearsall, Rogers, Ingram and Sherce Robbins cap­ tured second with a clocking of 1:46.5.

Talford wasn't in the action due injury he suffered on March 3 against Appalachian, the Bucs leading scorer, third-team Ail-American Keith "Mister" Jennings couldn't seem to find his shot. Jennings, who averaged 20points per game on the year, hitjust fourof his 13 attempts for 11 points Thursday. "I missed a couple of shots early," Jennings said."I don't know why, but that makes you kind of skeptical of whether your next shot is gonna go in. I was really thinking about whether my shot was going to go in, rather than just shooting." Despite Jennings early poor shooting, the 10th seeded Bucs held the upper hand for most of the first half, leading by as many as 10. They took a four-point, 3733, advantage to the locker room over the Midwest's seventh seed. The story of the second half, in addition to Jennings' misses, was the Hawkeyes rebounding. The Iowa squad out-rebounded the smaller Bucs 22-11 in the 20minute segment, usually holding the Bucs to one shot. "I think the big key was our big men really started to dominate the defensive glass," Iowa guard Troy Skinner said. "They really started to play hard in the second half and they did a greatjob on the boards and they didn't allow any second chances." The Hawkeyes grabbed the upper hand in the contest with just under five minutes to play. With die score knotted, James Winters tipped one in and then two Iowa free throws put the Hawkeyes ahead to stay. ETSU had one last chance when senior guard Major Geer was fouled with eighttenths of a second remaining and the Buccaneers down three. The plan was for Geer to make the first shot, miss the sec­ ond and hope for a teammate to tip the rebound in. However, Geer bricked the first attempt and sealed the Buccaneers' doom. record in the javelin, posting a mark of 135'6", to better herpreviousmark by 14' and finish third. Barger, Girouard, Tania Free and Carrie Hogg teamed to form the 4 X 800-meter relay team that finished third at 9:29.7. Other strong finishes for the Lady Mountaineers came from Monica Teeter, finishing fifth in the 400-meter hurdles at 64.0 and running as a member of the 4 X 400-meter relay team with Hill, Free and Carrie Robinson. This team clocked a 4:05.6 to finish fifth. Sherri Miller threw 34'6" in the shot put and Mclntyre finished the 3,000-meter run at 10:26.6, both marks good for sixth place. Weaver wasparticularly impressed with the performances of Inge in the javelin, Morrison in the hurdles. Bowers in the relays, and the 4 X 100-meter relay team who captured first despite "bad ex­ changes." "The transition from the indoor season to the outdoor season is very significant, and we were coming in right off of a break. What our team really needs now is some good quality training,"Weaver said. The Lady Apps will be counting on im­ proving weather conditions to make this possible. Weaver believes that his team, outdoor Southern Conference champions for four years running, must simply perform to their potential, as they did in the indoor season, to be ready to contend for a fifth title in five weeks at the conference meet at Virginia Military. West Virginia whips Furman in NIT Furman lost in the first round of the National Invitation Tournament to West Virginia, 86-67 Friday, March 15 in Morgantown, W.Va.

Ford placed second in the long jump with a mark of 23' 3-1/4", just inches off his personal best of 23' 6". Junior David Ess, who did not compete in the indoor season and is just returning from an internship, finished first in the 1,500-meter run, setting a personal record with a time of 3:57.0. Freshman Billy Pemberton competed in the 3,000-meter steeplechase for the first time, clocking a time of 9:40.4, plac­ ing first. The 4 X 800-meter relay team of Ess, Brad Dodson, Alan Whicker and Jamie Griggs captured the remaining Mountain­ eer victory with a time of 7:59.8. ASUMen'sHead Coach A1 Fereshetian was pleased with the efforts of his squad. "I fell real good about this meet," he said. "Our guys competed hard.

Grant threw 218' 7" break ing the school record and missing NCAA qualifying by aboutone foot. Fereshetian said Grant normally starts off the season with a mark of about 180', so this is a tremendous accomplishment and one Fereshetian believes will send him through an exceptional season.

Antonio Calloway, ASU's representa­ tive in the 118-pound category, agreed with Mance. "Not being seededmakes it a lot tougher in the first match,"Calloway said, "If you go unseeded, you're going to wrestle one of the top guys in the tournament." I Calloway lost his first match 13-2 to eighth-seed Erik Akin from Iowa State. The match was close until the third pe­ riod, when Akin took control. Calloway then wrestled ninth-seeded John Buxton from Nebraska. Buxton squeaked by with a 5-3 victory. "I prob­ ably outwrestled him but I got a little careless and thatlet him counter my move," Calloway explained. Jevon Moms, ASU's 134-pounder, wrestled unseeded Lormie Davis of Wil­ liam and Mary and fell by the scoreof 11 2. According to Mance, Davis was "just too strong" for Morris. Morris didn't get the opportunity to compete again in the tournament, as Davis lost in the next round. Adrian Hines, ASU's 150-pound grappler, took on the second seed in the tour­ nament, Northern Iowa's Gray Steffensmeier. Steffensmeier won the match, 14-2, but the final score is mislead­ ing, according to Mance. Hines "tried to get back into it by taking chances...that's why the score was so lopsided," Mance said. In theconsolation round, Hines wrestled Fresno Slate's Anthony Camacho, with Camacho taking the victory by the score of 5-3. A big factor in Hines' performance, according to Mance, was a groin pull he suffered March 2 in the Southern Confer­ ence Tournament. "Adrian missed over a week of prac­ tice, and he still wasn't 100 percent," Mance said. Calloway, Morris and Hines each qualified for the NCAA's by winning their divisions in the Southern Confer­ ence Tournament Mance said it was the first time in "eight years that we haven't won at least one match (in the NCAA's), and we took probably three of the best wrestlers we've ever had. It was very disappointing." This was the second national tourna­ ment appearance for all three ASU wres­ tlers. t: »t .1 �^Appalarhian Thursday. Mnrrh?! jnn. Runners WHAT?

Activities record spices up transcript The Officeof Student Development has initiated a new program which will alow students to receive a "student development transcript." We think this is great idea. There are several advantages to this program. This transcript will show all activities including clubs and organizations a student has participated in while he or she attended ASU. For example, when > prospective employer asks what clubs , organizations or activities you Mrticipated in while you were in college, you can pull out your student development transcript and show him or her. This is a solid way to validate what you actually did while you were in college. Extra-curricular activities have always been an important part of the collegeexperience. They allow students to gain valuable experience in fields Df interest, meet new people, gain leadership skills, get involved in issues which directly affect them and provide them with fun opportunities. When students do not partcipate in campus activities they miss out on what the collegeexperience is all about—finding out where they fit into the world. Student development transcripts show students that ASU realizes the importance of becoming a part of the Appalachian family by participating in atra-curricular activities. This idea shows students that ASU is concerned with their emotional maturity and their social development— not just their demic standing in the university. These transcripts are also an incentive to ;r students who are currently not involved in outside activities. TTiese transcripts recognize the time and effort students place into making lie clubs and organizations on campus successful. It's nice to know student aders areappreciated for the hard work they put into their club or organiza^>n. Ideas like this make the effort seem more worthwhile. So if you're thinking about becoming involved in a clubor organization on ®pus, now is the best time to do it Be sure to have your student kvelopment transcript full when you graduate. The thoughts that come unsought, and, as It were, drop into the mind, are commonhi the most valuable of anu we have. —John Locke the far side Sacrificing children for careers TERESA L. SMITH Et Cetera Editor •LYKUHL rsions Editor y, THURSDAY, March 21, 1991 By GARY By DAVID BAUMAN Appalachian Commentary Editor Last week, the "Wall Street Journal" reported that women outnumber men in college enrollment For the third consecutive year, one million more women are enrolled in two- and four-year institutions than men. In fact, women have been the majority since the fall of 1979. The explosion of women entering school can be at­ tributed to women desiringmore out oflife. Not long ago, many young women were told education was only for men. Thanks to the dedication of several feminist re­ formers paving the way, womennot only go toschool, but now outnumber men on almost every campus in the United States. The U.S. work force is full of females who are making their mark in all professions. Many ladies who would like to stay home as a housewife and mother have also had to go job hunting in order to pay the family's bills. In Los Angeles and New York, two income families are a necessity because the cost of living is extremely high. With this change in the social structure, however, a new casualty has also arrived. Does the term "latch-key" children ring a bell? Children today are taking care of children. Mommy and daddy are at work. Little Sarah watches TV from 3:00 to 6:30 until mom and dad arrive home from the rat race. Being home, however, doesn't necessarily mean spending time with the child. One survey found fathers in some urban areas spend less than 20 seconds a day with their children. North Carolina is no exception to the neglected child problem. According to the Youth At Risk Work Group report, over 149,000 school-age children under 13 may be caring for themselves while parents work. The report also stated the number of working mothers is at an alltime high (703 percent ofmothers withchildren between 6-17; 77 percent of single mothers with school aged children and 64 percent of single mothers with young children). For many mothers today, children are no cause for a schedule change. Two weeks after the child is bom, the mother is back at work and the child is in die hands of a stranger at a day care center. During these early months and years the child actually bonds with the day care personnel more than with the mother or father. It must be recognized that some mothers must work because of the tough financial times divorce or heavy debts can cause, but time must still be set aside for children. This equally applies to men. The home is the school for value and moral education. Today, the pupils aren't the ones skipping class. Many kids are morally illiterate. How can an eight year old know stealing is wrongunless someone teaches him? The strongest teaching tool a parent has is his or her example. Values are caught, not taught. The child learnsby watching mom and dad. Having careers is fine, but it is cruel to have children and deny them the parents they need. Parents who are "too busy" for their children are always saying "later" or "I'm sorry, not now" or "we'll do that some time." Parents also use the common ploy of buying their children's love. Some parents believe "a toy covers a multitude of absenteeism (and guilt)." The mother or father may feel justified, but the child is still left starving for attention from the two most important people in his or her life. Both men and women must realize these and other human relationships are the most important things in life. Barbara Bushaddressed this issue in a speech given to the female graduates of Wellesly College in June 1990. "At the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one more verdict or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a friend, a child or a parent" The family is the coreof any society. But if the only one home is an attention starved child, this main core is doomed. Our careers are not the futureof ournation. Our children are. As Mrs. Bush said, "fathers and mothers, if you have children, they must come first. Your success as a family, our success as a society, depends not on what happens in the White House, but on what happens inside your house." The song "Cat's In The Cradle" by Sandy and Harry Chapin turnedsome fathers around fromtheir workaholic schedules. Today, it can apply to women as well. My child arrived just the other day, he came to the world in the usual way— But there were planes to catch and bills to pay he learned to walk while I was away and he was talkin' 'fore I knew it and as he grew he'd say I'm gonna be like you. Dad you know I'm gonna be like you and the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon when you comin' home. Dad I don't know when, but we'll get together then— you know we'll have a good time then My son turned 10 just the other day he said. Thanks for the ball. Dad, com'on let's play Can you teach me to throw? I said not today, I got a lot to do He said. That's okay I think we know how the song ends. Another life winds down and the things he thought were important are finally seen for what they are, trivial chasing after the wind. Ladies, don't let society pressure you into being a housewife or an engineer or a business executive. Strive for your version of success and fulfillment. When chil­ dren come along, spend time with them— tons of time. Men, the same goes for us. Children must come before our own financial pursuits or the U.S. home will just be a U.S. house. Our old age will be spent wishing we had taught our little boy how to throw instead of closing that "big" business deal. We'd pay money for each minute we didn't spend walking and talking with our daughters. And then, we'll silently hope our kids didn't turn out like us.

Women stand for peace throughout history By JEANNE IRWIN Appalachian Columnist American women have in the past months been involved in war. Surpris­ ingly, women have been involved not only in the War in the Gulf, but in every conflict since the American Revolution. Less surprisingly, American women are and have been involved in the peace movement even in times of peace. Tradi­ tionally, women have become more in­ volved in the peace movement when they have also been in theprocess of increasing rights for themselves. This is why people always associate thepeace movement with the 1960s when women were also work­ ing for civil and women's rights. The American Peace Society was founded around 1825, but did not admit women until 1877. In 1826, about half of the members of the Portsmouth branch of the Massachusetts Peace Society were women and, in 1838, women were given equal rights in voting, decision making and membership in the North East Re­ sistance Society. As the end of the 19th century drew near, women began to comprise a large and important percentage of the peace movement. The Universal Peace Union which wasfounded in1866 was composed of at least 33 percent women, all of whom had decision making rights. Julia Ward Howe organized women's peace festivals across the United States as early as 1873. Peace festivals of this nature continue across America and the world today. In the early 20th century when women became involved in movements for suf­ frage and reproductive rights, all-female peace groups grew and flourished. For more traditional women not interested in the right to vote or controlling their re­ production, the "maternal instincts" of women united them with the more radical women in the quest for peace. With the coming of World War L women's peace groups inthe UnitedStates protested more strongly than groups in any other country. In January 1915, theWoman's PeaceParty of the United States was formed at a conference in Washington, D.C.; over 3,000 women attended. One year earlier, in January 1914, 1,500 women marched in New YorkCity toprotest the war. Soon, the Woman's Peace Party had 40,000 members, 165 chapters nationwide and made valid suggestions towardending the war through negotiations assisted by neu­ tral nations and by imposing non-military but international sanctions. Women's involvement in the peace movement has continued to grow in strength throughout this century, most memorably with the protest against the War in the Gulf. Today, women's peace groups are achieving theirgoals in anum- ber of ways. These include lobbying, po­ litical pressure, grassroots organizing, education, the creation of new networks and, on occasion, civil disobedience. Seven of the nine national women's peace groups have been formed since 1980. There are also more independent (local) peace groups thanever before—thenumber more than doubled from1984 to 1989, from 200 to 550. Today, after the war is over, women's peace groups will most likely continue to advocate peace through advocacy of dis­ armament, redirection of a percentage of the military budget into social programs, the ending of United States global military intervention and working for women's equality and racial justice. Editor's note: Irwin is the president of the Appalachian Feminist collective."The American Woman: A Status Report" was used in gathering information for this article. Ghent, campus issues dominate letters the campus. If Mr. Ghent does not have the ability to take a stand and make a decision, he does not need to represent the student body at Appalachian. I am offended at Mr. Ghent's use of our country's situation in this manner. I hope the low turnout at the rally is a sign that the rest of the student body feels this way, not a sign of their lack of support. LARSON Sincerely, Lisa M. MacCaskill ASU Box 15742 Flag flip flop pinned on Ghent To the Editor On February 27 I attended the rally for the troops sponsored by Daryl Ghent and Randy Yelton. Although I was there in support of our troops in the Middle East, I believe the motives behind the rally are far different. The flyers advertising this rally stated "bring your flags." Why did Ghent not allow flags at the Candlelight Vigil, the first demonstration on campus in support of our troops? I believe Mr. Ghent's only reason for having this second rally was to further his own political career. He is trying to correct the mistake he made by allowing the chairman of the Rules Committee to make decisions concerning the whole of Ghent's platform lacks concrete goals To the Editor In view of the coming election, I thought this might be a good time to take a look at the candidates. I use, as my resource, the brochures put out by the candidates themselves. Daryl Ghent and Reggie Murphy run under the slogan, "Diverse yet united...bringing us all together," which they use repeatedly through the pamphlet,including quotes from endorsers. However, throughout the brochure, they fail to elucidate on their diversity. Stephen Schmotzer and April Blanton use the slogan "Putting the student back in student government" And they do support this in their platform. The platform used by Ghent and Murphy lists promises which are either vague or pure propaganda. The mention Ask questions, make your own of a referendum concerning liquor-bydecisions, vote. the-drink fails to establish their position on the issue. To create unity, promote Dov Sherman welfare and other hollow promises seem ASU Box 14380 to offer no real platform at all. However, Schmotzer and Blanton's platform is much more precise and actually addresses issues which do more than simply sound good. They're actually issues that we students want to To the Editor have addressed, things we actually care An open letter to the student body: about. More blue security lights, more control of student fees, starting with the It's election time once again at ASU. student activity fees and phone-in class Tables are set up in the Student Union, registration. These are issues that the posters and banners litter the landscape student body has been wishing would be and the atmosphere is buzzing with addressed ever since Mike Scales and news about candidates. Yet the student Ghent promised them in their previous body does not have all the information campaign and then promptly forgot after it needs to vote properly. I hope to their election. provide that necessary information. The endorsements given by The first informative piece of news I would like to address is the rumoT Schmotzer and Blanton quote various concerning Randy Yelton's appoint­ SGA representatives and campus ment to SGA chief justice in the event officials. Ghent and Murphy quote a concerning that the Ghent/Murphy team basketball player, a quarterback and the wins the election. Does this seem like a homecoming queen. Apparently Ghent and Murphy consider this to be a wise idea? Look at Randy Yelton's past, specifically a dog control bill and a popularity contest of the type we've all letter in response to Craig Lancaster had to endure through high school. Do which insinuated that Lancaster did they assume we've not matured since then? write his letter attacking Yelton and Ghent for the feebleness of the dog At least, this year, we have a choice control bill. Is that not slander? How of candidates. Perhaps we will use our can someone who makes a quick, ability to make this choice. It's important that we do, because if Ghent's incriminating judgment about letter writers be a fair Chief Justice? Is it past record is any indication of what would come in the event of his election, really in the students' best interest? our voices might once again go ignored and suppressed. See LETTERS page 8 Students asked to consider past record �-TheAppalachian Thursday Mnrch21 1QQJ Letters Continued from page 7 The second thing I would like to address is the flag issue. It is United States constitutional law that there is freedom of speech. Part of freedom of speech is the freedom to display the American flag. I would like to know where the Scales/Ghent administration has the power to say there cannot be public displays of the flag at the first "support the troops" rally. Where is the blame going, and shouldn't this SGA administration be turned over? Finally, I would like to comment on the platform of the opposing parties. Something that seems very clear to me is the vagueness and idealism of the Ghent/Murphy platform. This team has produced some very valid points, specifically "keeping the politics out of SGA," creating student unity and developing better ties with the Boone community and the students. Yet, all of these ideas are promoting public opinion and a puppet student govern­ ment. The last platform idea states: Not be limited by our own ideas but rather be open to input from the student body," This indicates to me that the Ghent/Murphy candidacy is to be instituted only for transcript records and popularity. The platform is very idealistic and probes the pleasure points in a student's mind, but not the realistic ones. Contrastingly, the Schmotzer/BIanton campaign cites six main issues and itemizes the realistic steps to take in each case. It is concise and to the point. It calls for a working reform, not popular issues. This appears to be the best choice, does it not? In conclusion I would like to ask the student body of ASU to look at the platform of Scales/Ghent and see what has not been done, then look at the idealistic proposals of Ghent/Murphy platform and the SGA baggage it carries. An election is not just, "Oh, yeah, sure I'll vote for you." but a serious look at the platform and previous conduct of the candidates and how it can realistically help the student body. Politics should not be a catering service that spoonfeeds the people, but a cooperative effort involving the people. from our fees. The increase, thus far, is about $80 a year. The plans are to raise fees totally by $110 solely for the planned coliseum's construction costs. With full time enrollment of about 9,844, this puts the total average amount collected yearly from your fees at $1,082,865. That's over a million dollars a year going to only the cost of building a coliseum few will actually use. The reason few students will benefit from this project is in the plans. Wanting to know more, I went to the Business Affairs Office to see the plans Sincerely, for the new coliseum. Although one part Michael Zaikowski of the plans was unavailable, I failed to ASU Box 17577 see any new classrooms and only one new court for intramural sports. I don't know what may have been in the missing plan, but I doubt it would be enough student-usable space to justify such a large increase in student fees.

"Our goal is every time there's a rally against the troops we want to triple that and like the days of Vietnam we want to hold anti-support in check," said Randy Yelton, director of student affairs. Yelton went on to explain that he "supports the war because it means freedom." The troop support rally was sponsored by Yelton and Daryl Ghent, SGA vice president. Yelton said the rally was to begin with Shelby Johnson, senator for East Hall, singing the "Star Spangled Banner," but Johnson went home when she learned her uncle was killed in Saudi Arabia. Mike Miller, assistant attorney general, told the supporters, "We're here because we support the American troops who are risking their lives for us and for freedom." Ghent blamed himself and Yelton for the small turnout. The guest speaker could not attend and there was not enough pub­ licity for the rally, Ghent said. Ghent went on to explain that his father, Appalachian Photo by Troy Horock who was in the Korean War, told him what TROOP RALLY BRINGS SUPPORT: ASU students gathered outside of Belk Library to show their continued support for the troops it means to bean American."Any time this in thePersian Gulf in a rally sponsored by Daryl Ghent and Randy Yelton. country is called on, show support."

"Guessing what 9900 students are go"8 to do is not always precise," Sharp said. Henoted that it is necessary to consider the number of graduates, transfer stu­ dents, and students who discontinue their education when determining what num­ ber of students would return for the spring semester. Sharp stated that institutional research uses amethodof historic patterns to project their numbers, which involves using en­ rollment numbers from the past eight years and matching them with current trends in enrollment. "In the scale of things, the predic­ tions we made are almost dead center on target," Sharp said. The University of North Carolina system allowsuniversities to have a two percent error of margin and ASU was well within the range. Sharp said. Sharp said that projections also have to consider the diverse mix of students that attend Appalachian as well as the enroll­ ment goals of the university. "Usually nine out of ten students return for the spring semester. We do graduate a substantial number of students in Decem­ ber becausesome students are taking more than four years to finish their education," Sharp said. Noting Appalachian's considerable re­ tention rate. Sharp said,"The number of students who elect to stay here is increasing...it appears that the students like it here and they're not wanting to leave...." In addition to the number of returning students, ASU also accepted 56 new freshmen and 158 transfer students. According to Sharp, two-thirds of the number of transfer students were from two year schools while one-third of the transfers came from four year schools. When considering enrollment figures. Sharp said that the most difficult area to predict is the number of students who return to ASU after taking time off from school. Unleashed One million goes to graduate program % ».••• KELLY ANN MELLAGE Appalachian Staff Writer ASU has committed in excess of $1 Jjullion for graduate assistance programs tie last three years, according to Dr. ^ce Lawrence, dean of graduate studies *4 research.

"There will not bea change rrtoney allotted for the graduate ^•ance programs for next year." ^Hording to Dr. Gregory Reck, assis92q Can die graduate school, there are ^Paduate students and 250 of those 15 graduate assistants. Each deent is allocated a certain number of assistants. Some graduate assisP^grams are in other areas, such as hian studies. * ,*e^aC'Uate ass'stant must work20 hours or her particular department tit fic]d'n 01 ^er j°b usually includes ®hdm f lowing videos to a class, con**»rch^ Sma" discussion groups, re'"8 Projects, doing library work. doing computer searches and tallying information as in surveys or other such data, according to Reck. There are four types of graduate assis­ tants. They are research assistants, teaching assistants, lab assistants and general assistants. A research assistant works withone or more faculty members on a project A teaching assistant will teach introductory classes in his or her particular department. A lab assistant will conduct physical science and biol­ ogy labs. A general assistant does a vari­ ety of tasks. A teacher assistant musthave18 hours of graduate study in his or her discipline before he or she is allowed to teach a class. Therefore, the beginning graduate assistant cannot teach until the required number of hours is attained. A student who would like to be a graduate assistant must first apply to Appalachian through the general admis­ sions. Once accepted to the graduate program, another form must be com­ pleted and sent to the respective depart­ ment for consideration. The money for graduate assistants is allocated to the department. The department is then re­ sponsible for choosing its graduate as­ sistants. According to Lawrence, graduate as­ sistants are a great help to the depart­ ments. Most professors would suffer an extreme loss if the number of graduate assistants was cut. The assistants take care of a lot of work that would other­ wise occupy much of the professor s * ' . A ' * - v "The reason they stop coming here is anybody's guess. It could be illness, a need to work, or any other of a multitude of reasons," Sharp said. For spring 1991, ASU had 324 return­ ing students, which was six percent under the rate that was projected. "Guessing that number is extremely difficult," Sharp said. The only enrollment variable that can be controlled is the number of new students that arrive at ASU, Sharp said.

Curriculum approved by ASU faculty senate By LORI PATTERSON Appalachian Staff Writer • allow in. It's a complicated set of vari­ ables that we have to estimate," Sharp said. It is the decision of the university to determine the mix of students, according to Sharp. "The ASU administration has to determine our growth rates and the mix of new transfers versus the number of new freshmen." Faculty Senate showed its support of the six principles of the American Asso­ ciation of University Professors, and the Core-Curriculum Committee passed the two-year phase-in plan at the March 11 meeting. Currently, ASU does not give a written notice of reasons in theevent of a decision rot to renew a faculty appointment. How­ ever, the Senate does support the six principles from the AAUP's statement on procedural standards in the renewal or nonrenewal of faculty appointments. Two of the principles require a written notice. If a decision is made not to renew an appointment, the faculty member should be informed of the decision in writing by the Personnel Committee. Then, the faculty member expresses a desire to petition the Personnel Commit­ tee, or an other appropriate committee, the reasons given as an explanation of the nonrenewal should be confirmed in writ­ ing. Dr. R. Clinton Parker, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs, said the university is under no obligation to con­ tinue a contract when it has come to an end. When a one, two or three-year con­ tract is over, then there is no other reason to be given, Parker said. Dr. Terry Cole, chairman of the depart­ ment of communication arts, attended a workshop at the University of Kansas where mostof the institutions represented, did document nonrenewal of faculty ap­ pointments in writing. Cole said, "I felt very much like in a minority." To give a written notice to faculty members forces the institution to be specific for reasons, according to Dr. Roland Moy, professor of political science. The Core-Curriculum Committee passed the two-year phase-in plan dis­ cussed in the Jan. 28 meeting. Speech, writing and multi-cultural are three of the designations that are going to be added to the general education requirements. The phasing will begin in the fall of 1992, and should be fully implemented by fall of 1994. The Academic Integrity Board was re­ established after being defunct since the fall semester. Dr. Gary Kader, professor of mathematics, was elected chairman of the board. The board deals with student violations such as cheating, plagiarism and multiple submission. The current student court justices and eight full-time faculty make up the members of the board. In Feb. 18 meeting. Dr. Kelly Steele, assistant professor of biology, accumu­ lated 50 signatures to propose a survey to be conducted by the Senate. Steele's survey dealt with faculty opinions of Op­ eration Desert Storm. The survey would have been done if the Gulf War had con­ tinued beyond Feb. 28. Dr. Alan Ha user, chairman of the de­ partment of philosophy and religion, sug­ gested that the survey relate to the Faculty Senate. Cole agreed by saying, the senate should be able to choose which surveys are ap­ propriate for the senate to conduct �U.s. killings reach three an hour: The nation'scitizens committed a record number of killings in 1990—at least 23,300, or nearly three an hour—and a record number of rapes, robberies and assaults.

The story I try js us from " once upon a time" and happily ever after"...to what really hap—ts in the woods of life. • into the Woods," written and directed James Lapine, is a musical exploration f what happens to the Brothers Grimm's tltnown folk tale characters and some „v ones- However, "Into the Woods" is Vjch more than the Brothers ever wrote. ]l opened on Broadway in November 1987, on the 175th anniversary of the yication of Grimms' classic, "Kinder J jjausmaerchen." Assembled over a J of five years, the 86 folk tales were iblished in 1812 and have sold close to a billion copies in no fewer than 20,000 jtions in 50 languages. The sets re-create a fairy tale forest of t and ash that is magical to all senses, costumes come straight out of a vildren's story book. The story itself pulls off the improb­ able feat of being both funny, cautionary and intellectual at the same time. Sondheim combines four well-known fairy tales—"^Cinderella," "Jack and the Beanstalk," "The Baker and his Wife" and "Little Red Riding Hood"—and re­ tells them with wit and affection. The story line focuses on a childless Baker and his Wife as they make their way through the Woods in a desperate hunt to find the ingredients for a potion to force the Wicked Witch to lift her curse from their home. "Then in the second act, Sondheim splashes some sobering reality into fairyland. Nobody can just live 'happily ever after;' life just doesn't work that way," said Jim Kershner of the "Spokane Review." A trip "Into the Woods" reveals that nice people lie, good people die and marriage is one way to end a relation­ ship. By the end of Act 1 the wishes of the characters have all been granted, but as the musical warns, "Careful the wish you make...wishes come true, not free." There is a bittersweet reality found in "the Woods," but despite its dark mo­ ments, the musical is filled with an affirmation of life. As Cinderella tells the grieving Red Riding Hood, "Some­ times people leave you, halfway through the wood. Others may deceive you. You decide what is good. You decide alone, but no one is alone." It is this mixture of fantasy characters facing a small dose of reality that makes the performances ashow for theentire family. Accessible to children, yet intriguing to adults, the musical en­ tertains all levels of comprehension. "Into the Woods" is Stephen Sondheim's 14th Broadway musical. He wrote the scores for "Sunday in the Park with George," "Merrily We Roll Along," "Sweeney Todd," "Pacific Overtures,""A Little Night Music," "The Frogs," "Follies,""Company,""Anyone Can Whistle " and "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum," as well as lyrics for "West Side Story," "Gypsy" and "Do I Hear a Waltz?" Lapine lastcollaborated with Sondheim on "Sunday in the Park with George." He wrote and directed 'Twelve Dreams" at the Public Theater and'Table Settings" at Playhouse. Allan Wallach of "Newsday" said, '"Into the Woods' is strewn with wit and See MUSICAL page 4 BRO ADW AY IN BOONE- The Tony award winning musical"Into the Woods"will be performed tonight in Farthing Auditorium.

Billyclub Festandlohnny Quest will play tonight at Legends. Eight Or Nine Feet and the Popes ytillphy Saturday night at the Pub. Johnny Quest is the oldest of the bands atured in the festival and is also the most well known. Hailing from Raleigh, Johnny Quest originally formed in 1983. After releasing a three-song record, the band broke up, only to resurface again in 1985 with their current lineup: Joe "JQ" Fanner, vocals; Jack "Race" Campbell, bass; Bill "Bandit" Ladd, guitar; and Steve "Dr. Q" Hill, drums. Listening to Johnny Quest for the first time, one might simply classify them in the growing category of "funk-rock" bands (such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Royal Crescent Mob, Lock Up, etc.). The difference is that JQ has been doing their thing for almost nine years now. They synthesize funk, rap and metal into a style that is all their own. Billyclub Fest, from Wilmington, could also be classified as a funk-rock band. The band's popularity has grown a great deal after only being together for a year. As the oldest member of Billyclub Fest is only 21 years old, they bring a fresh, youth-conscious twist to their music. Take for example the song, "People Thang."The lyrics open with "It's a black thang/ white thang/ your thang/ my thang/ It's all the'same boat we're ridin' in." This is quite a contrast to the light-hearted look Johnny Quest takes at life. This doesn't mean that Billyclub Fest takes themselves too seriously. On the contrary, they're as wild on stage, if not more so, than Johnny Quest. Billyclub Fest consists of Steve "Sweet Daddy" Anthony, vocals; Brett "Echo" Ekstrom, guitar; Alex "Skinny Al" Bruton, guitar; Eric "Dr. Bass" Tomosunnas, bass; and Tommy "LT" Landrigan, drums. , ,, Billyclub Fest and Johnny Quest play tonight at Legends. Tickets are $6 at the door. 'Die evening of thumpin' bass and crunchin' guitars begins around 9 p.m. The second half of the New Music Festival to be held this Saturday at the Pub, will feature the Popes and Eight Or Nine Feet. The Popes, from Chapel Hill, are similar to another band from that city, Dillon Fence, who played at Legends last month. The band's style of power pop has received critical acclaim from many regional and national maga­ zines, including Cashbox and Bill­ board. The Popes have been compared to bands like the dB's and the Replace­ ments. Eight Or Nine Feet, from Raleigh, have also received acclaim from several national magazines. The Popes and Eight Or Nine Feet will play the Pub on Saturday night. Tickets are $4 for students and$5 for guests. The show should begin around 9 p.m. The two-night New Music Festival is a great chance to get exposed to four of the up-and-coming bands in the North Carolina area. Go out and support live music.

Department of Theater and Dance fac­ ulty members Marianne Adams and Su­ san Lutz organized the production and will perform three original pieces. "It's going to be a dance smorgasbord; I'm really excited," Adams said. "A couple of the pieces are whimsical, another con­ fronts death usingdream inspired imagery, a fourth relies on a theatrical storyline. Nothing about the evening will be con­ ventional." Adams' contribution is "Silent Voices." Having experimented quite frequently with the marriage of dance and the spoken word, Adams has now choreographed a piece in which dancers attempt to speak, though the words do not come out. "It's really about communication and the rela­ tionship between the individual and the community," Adams said. Working with 17 dancers, Adams' piece will be the largest of the evening. A primitive re­ cording by Grateful Dead percussionist Micky Hart will accompany the move­ ment. Susan Lutz, whose work is often tightly choreographed, will contribute twopieces to the show. "Birdland" will engage 14 dancers in a high-energy, jazz-influenced dance abstraction. In her second piece, a quartet of women will playfully examine human insecurities to the soundof a folksy.

Lisa Gomez, a graduate student in psy­ chology, will contribute a dince for three women; senior theater major Karen Tay­ lor has choreographed a duet; and Valerie Midgett, a graduate student in exercise science, will offer a whimsical dance to guitar. Jeff Cochran, currently interning as a school counselor in Avery County, has put together a conceptual piece challeng­ ing mainstream social consciousness. Backed by a collage of sounds, spoken words and music, Cochran's piece will be more improvised and less traditional."Jeff feeds his dancers images and gives them lots of room forexploration,"states Adams. Though well-rehearsed, Cochran's danc­ ers are encouraged to improvise and ex­ plore during every performance. The dancers complete his thoughts on stage, and the performances change every night. The recent union between the dance faculty and the theatre department has been a profitable one. This first year has offered a great opportunity for the Appa­ lachian Dance Ensemble to collaborate with Appalachian theatre artists. For this production the five student choreogra­ phers were paired with student lighting designers to collaborate on the different stage environments. Theatre and dance instructor Martha A. Marking will design the costumes for the faculty pieces while the lights for these dancers will be de­ signed by department technical director Becky Manning. One of the dancers in the ensemble, Karla Smith, will perform in two pieces and has spent a good part of her semester in and out of rehearsals.

With the combination of Musiainc's lyrics and the unbelievable power and ferocity of their music, Megadeth con­ veys messages relevant in today's world of war, drugs, environmental destruction and crime on the streets with "Rust in Peace." The tunes "Poison Was The Cure," "Lucretia" and "Tornado of Souls" all deal with substance abuse. Mustaine and Ellefson have had their problems of sub­ stance abuse in the past, a problem among problems with the previous Megadeth lineups.

His honesty and Ameri­ can flair is ultimately adored by the people of Great Britain. Although King Ralph fails to uphold the responsibilities of be­ ing the king, he wins the approval from the people of England when he finally decides he wants to decline from the throne. The character of King Ralph is devel­ oped well, but the number of comical scenes falls flat from the commercialized previews. About 40 percent of the movie is actually funny; as a result, it is more of a comedy drama. The movie is worth its weight in pounds in this respect, although it is not advertised as such. Megadeth Continued from page 3 the people. 'Take no prisoners" takes a hard look at war and its consequences. The song looks at the casual ties of war and the life of a soldier after the experience of war. "Holy Wars...The Punishment Due" confronts the issue of fighting wars over religion and then switches to the growing problems in the streets of America. "Rust in Peace... Polaris" is a song that deals with the issue of a possible nuclear holo­ caust. Each of these songs is very powerful. The lyrics make you think and the music really grabs you with its intensity. This combination really brings out the serious subject nature of the songs. With each song on the new album, Megadeth has proven that metal music Even though Mustaine is pretty much anti-MTV, Megadeth has released two videos from the album for "Holy Wars...The Punishment Due" and "Han­ gar 18." Both videos show the story line behind the songs with a few shots of the band blended in. They are quality videos, therefore it is not surprising that MTV will not show either of the two before midnight on any given night. There are not enough good things I can say about this album. The music is hard driving, intense and powerful with lyrics that confront serious issues in today's society. There is not one song on the album that doesn't confront some type of issue in today's world.

I TOURNEY STANDOUT: ASU junior forward Shannon Thomas (20) looks to pass during a recent game. Thomas led the Lady Mountaineers to the Southern Conference Tournament Championship, averaging 23.7 points per game and 14 rebounds a contest during the tourney. The Lady Mountaineers of ASU, who finished the regular season as the Southern Conference's fourth place team, became the champions of the league Saturday, taking the SC tournament title with a 98-87 victory over East Tennessee State. "This could be our most prized championship for our program, because we weren't supposed to even come close by anybody's standards," ASU Head Coach Linda Robinson said. "The other three times (we've taken the title) we've been either a number one or number two seed. "This is such a sweet moment for me. I'll never stop thanking the team for this." The Lady Apps entered Saturday's champion­ ship after knocking off the Furman Paladins in first round action and the top-seeded Lady Mocs of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in the semis. In the tourney's final, ASU forced the Lady Buccaneers to play catch-up by jumping out to a 52-43 half time lead.The Bucs did just that, cutting the ASU lead to a mere three, 77-74, with 7:25 to play as Jennifer Cooke canned a three-pointer. The Lady Mountaineers responded by reeling off five unanswered points to widen the gap to eight, 82-74. The Bucs pulled back to within four, 82-78, with 4:41 remaining, only to have the Mountaineers score another five straight and pull ahead to the 9887 victory. The Lady Mountaineers placed five players in double figures, with Shannon Thomas scoring 27 and bringing down 14 rebounds and Mitzi Yount adding a career-high 24 points. Penny Roberson chipped in 17 while Neoma Konrad added 11 and Regina Ikard, 10. The Lady Bucs were paced by the tournament's Most Valuable Player. Denise Hopson, with 36 points. The Lady Mountaineers dominated the Lady Bucs on the boards, recording a 43-36 rebounding advantage. ASU shot 60.9 percent from the field, while holding ETSU under 50 percent. In first round action, the Lady Mountaineers defeated the fifth seeded Furman squad, 84-77. Then, on Friday, the Lady Apps knocked off the tourney's number one seed, UTC. The Mocs held a 46-42 half time advantage, but the Mountaineers kept the game in sight throughout the second half and pulled off the 89-87 upset. With 4:33 remaining to be played, Ikard hit a basket off an offensive rebound to knot the score. The game was again deadlocked, 83-83, with 36 seconds left, when Roberson was sent to the line. Her two foul shots broke the tie. Then, with four seconds remaining, Roberson came through a second time at the line, hitting the two game winners for the 89-87 final. "The free tlirows she (Roberson) hit late in the game are an example of her mental toughness," ASU Coach Linda Robinson said. Roberson, the league's freshman of the year, is an 83.5 percent free throw shooter.

The Mountaineers should be strong contenders to end UTC's reign over the Southern Conference next year, as they will lose three wrestlers from this year's squad. "We're only losing three, but two (Morris and Hines) are crucial starters," Weitezel said. "The guys we do have coming back are good wrestlers, and we have some second-stringers who should move up next year and be good. The team will basically be the same, and we should be a pretty sound squad again. Plus, we have Corey Creech coming back, and he'll be a big plus."

WARD Appalachian Sports Editor A hobbled Appalachian State men's basketball squad made it to the finals of the Southern Con­ ference Tournament before allowing the East Tennessee State Buccaneers to three-peat as con­ ference tournament champions. In the March 1-3 tournament, held at the Asheville Civic Center, the Mountaineers posted a commanding 100-72 first round victory over Vir­ ginia Military and then knocked off number one seeded Furman, 88-82, in the semifinals. In Sunday's final game, the Mountaineers were forced to play without starting freshman forward Ricky Nedd, who was sidelined with an ankle injury suffered in the Furman clash. Prior to the injury, Nedd led the team in shooting accuracy and scored 17 points against VMI in the tourney's opening game. Meanwhile, the number two seeded Buccaneers coasted into the final game with a 99-70 win over The Citadel and a 104-71 victory over the tournament's third seed, the University of Ten­ nessee at Chattanooga (see "Around the Southern Conference" article on this page concerning those games). In the tourney's finale, ETSU led from wire to wire, with Keith "Mister" Jennings pacing the Bucs with 31 points. "He (Jennings) played one of his guttier per­ formances of the year," ETSU's first-year coach Alan LeForce said. "He got shutout in the first half, and down the stretch he made all the key plays." Jennings, who was the unanimous choice for the tournament's Most Valuable Player, dished out five assists, while he bombed four three pointers en route to the high scoring honors. Midway through the second half, the Bucs ex­ tended their advantage to 16, 74-58, but ASU forward Broderick Parker, who finished with 16, scored seven straight to cut the edge tosingle digits at 74-65 with 8:31 to go in the game. However, Parker, who was plagued by foul trouble throughout the tournament fouled out 33 seconds later with 7:58 remaining. The Mountaineers cut the Buc lead to seven, 7669, as Billy Ross netted two from the foul line with 7:45 to play. The seven-point margin would prove to be the closest the App squad would come, as the Bucs pulled away in the closing minutes. Leading 85-76, ETSU scored eight straight in a surge that began at the 3:57 mark as ASU's Steve Spurlock was whistled for both a persona] and a technical foul. Darell Jones hit one of the two from the line, and Jennings canned both technical shots to start the Buc binge that wouldn't end until the 1:07 mark. "I thought it was a lack of focus on our part," ASU senior point guard Ed Ward said. "We sortof killed ourselves down the stretch." With a Rodney English free throw, the Bucca­ neers wentahead by 18,94-76, and coasted through the game's final minute to win their third con­ secutive conference title, 101-82. The Mountaineers' leading scorer in the losing effort was Billy Ross, who canned eight of 14 field goals for 20 points. Tim Powers, the only ASU team member to be voted to the first squad of alltournament players, chipped in 17 to go with Parker's 16, Spurlock's 13 and Ward's 10.

"We had twooptions," UTC Head Coach Mack McCarthy said. "One was to throw it to half-court to (Tyrone) Enoch and one was to go long for Nelson." "Our football team doesn't throw the ball as well as we do," McCarthy joked. UTC, the number three seed in the tour­ ney and Western the number six seed, battled evenly throughout the game, with the lead changing hands 19 times. Terry Boyd was a one-man show for the Catamounts. The 6'2" junior guard reeled off a career-high 42 points, canning 14 of his 26 field goal attempts and all 10 of his free throw opportunities.

By RONNY RICHARDSON Appalachian Staff Writer As the Persian Gulf war continues, America's need for an escape grows as well. For many of us our escape has long been sports. Free of social conflict, sports were a display of physical effort to be enjoyed by participants and spectators alike. It is a celebration of competition between those who sought satisfaction on the playing fields by proving their superiority. In recent years, however, the true meaning behind sports has come very close to fading intoobscurity amidst the shamelessness of an institution that is quickly losing any semblance of moral standards. Collegiate athletics has become, in many cases, a reflection of a society that has become so intent on rewards that consid­ eration of how they are obtained has almost been totally neglected. The true purpose of sports is being lost behind reports of disciplinary problems with athletes, often due to the acquiescence or even encouragement of coaches, athletic directors and collegepresidents. Whenever tuning in to a sportscast, one hears almost as much about the off-thefield activities as the scores and divisional standings. Stories about college athletes who disgrace themselves and their school with drug abuse, poor academic perfor­ mance and steroid use abound these days. Who is to blame for this mess? To be sure, there is plenty of blame to go around. The natural inclination is to put blame on the athletes themselves. Although no one can deny many of our sports stars willingly commit infractions and they must be forced to take responsibility for their actions, we would be amiss in not pointing out many other sources that are also roots of illegal activity in collegiate athletics. They should assume responsibility as well. Coaches of these young athletes often fill their heads with dreams of greatness on the fields or courts with no mention of obligations to proper behavior and academic effort. Young people are taken away from home, and the only responsibilities they are given are to show up at practice and deliver their talents for the crowd on game day. With a guidance vacuum, it should not be a surprise to anyone that so many of them occupy their time with less constructive pursuits than class and studying. They also face extreme pressure from athletic directors and university administrations to win at any cost in order to continue the influx of the large sums of money that come with a successful athletic program. Make no mis­ take about it. College sports is big business. It is big enough business for the universities to over­ look infractions committed in the name of victory even at the expense of ethics. Many big gameprograms throughout the country will argue that to be competitive, one is forced to break the rules. Some will even say that rules should be changed to accept the mediocrity of their programs. lust acouple of years ago, an attempt to be sure that athletes had scored at least a 700 on the SAT and had grades of at least a 2.0 met with fierce protests from coaches and presidents of some of our nation's premier schools. You would think that our leading universities would already impose such standards on all of their students. A couple of weeks ago, former North Carolina State University basketball coach Jim Valvano appeared on NBC's "Late Night with David Letterman."When asked about the scandal that forced him to resign, Valvano replied that although he took responsibility he actually had no control over the actions of his former players and NCSU alumni. It has long been Jimmy V's argument that what happened at his program could have happened at any school. One wonders why nothing of this nature is ever reported at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hillor Duke University. Perhaps both Dean Smith and Mike Krzyzewski have coached their teams to greatness while taking heed of player's interests outside the realm of sports. Also, neither man has become so set on his own self-promotion that he has forgotten the ethical responsi­ bility that comes with the fame of big time college athletics. Many other coaches should take a lesson from them in how to balance academics and athletics. Sports have somehow become something very differ­ ent from what they were meant to be. A feeling of malaise has set in. Instead of becoming angry when we hear of violations of NCAA rules, we merely shrug them off as part of sports. Infractions are becoming the rule and ethics are becoming the exception. We owe it to our athletes and to ourselves to clean up college athletics and restore it to its place as entertainment, instead of a source of embarrassment to schools all over America. The quest for glory that so many athletes pursue becomes a nightmare of empty promises from coaches and athletic directors who seek only personal glory and financial reward. We as spectators must share in the responsibility by demanding that our public universities not support such shameful practices by hiring unscrupu­ lous coaches and placing no emphasis on academic achievement of athletes. Until then, we can expect col­ lege sports to continue tolack the true spir it of sportsman­ ship that we value in our competitions. "Homosexual rhetoric" draws strong attack Member of Queer Nation speaks out To the Editor: How sad am I after reading David Bauman's article, "Questioning Homosexual Rhetoric." Just when it seems that prejudice is dissipating in this world, intolerance raises its blemished head and expectorates in the face of equality. Bauman blasts the gay rights movement through a series of incomplete paraphrases, misinterprets the vocabulary of gay rights rhetoric, and sneakily advocates intolerance of homosexuals. It is to his self-serving journalistic conservatism that I wish to respond. I am a 23 year old gay male, a graduate student, former instructor of French at ASU, and one of the founders of the Atlanta chapter of Queer Nation, a gay rights group whose slogan, "We're here, we're queer, get used to it," Bauman quotes in his article. It is juvenile to employ this phrase without a detailed explanation of its significance;therefore I shall supply what Bauman neglects to mention. This phrase implies that homosexuals have existed , do exist, and will continue to exist. "Get used to it" is our affirmation that our presence is undeniable, and that we can be understood and appreciated if people are willing to acknowledge that we will not go away. Society's contempt of homosexuals is a socially conditioned phenomenon, and gay rights advocates hold that a visible gay presence will soften inbred hatred and promote more inclusive, effective human interaction. We are all humans, be we gay or straight. As humans, it is natural to wish for tolerance, acceptance and nurturance. It is unhealthy to be ashamed of one's identity. It is natural to seek love, the inexplicable emotion not bound by race nor sex nor religion nor national origin. Gay people, just like straight people, want to be acknowledged, want to be free from shame, and want to experi­ ence love. It seems, however, that modern society gloats in the subjugation of the homosexual, and revels in denying happiness to gay people. This attitude is pointless. Homosexuality cannot be wished away, it cannot be prayed away, and it cannot be condi­ tioned out of us. In the spirit of Rosa Parks, we will be "in your face," we will not bow to the traditional slander of prejudice and homophobia. We will settle for nothing less than acceptance. Despite what Bauman says, we profess nonviolence as our method to enact social change, following the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This is not unreasonable. This brand of activism is the product of centuries of oppression and hatred that homosexuals have encountered. No the vocabulary of gay rights rhetoric, individual ever makes a conscious these words refer to individuals who choice to be either gay or straight. But seek to impede our freedom from the people can choose to be fair or unfair. immoralities of violence, discrimina„ lion, abuse, etc., to individuals who Where is logic when questions of homosexuality arise?

And who is better prejudice and contribute as much to qualified to diagnose homophobia than social harmony as the word "nigger." a homosexual? Does Bauman advocate ignorance instead of tolerance?

I'm sure these concepts of homosexuality involves answering a mesh just as well with the traditional simple question: Does one consciously interpretation of Judeo-Christian wish misery, strife and intolerance on doctrine as homosexuality does.

On the contrary, the article stated, "Thought control and academic intimidation have caused many to abandon the analysis of right and wrong in the context of homosexuality, on both sides of the issue." One of the final sentences stated, "Heterosexuals must also refrain from violence and use other methods for expressing their Prejudice against gays should stop To the Editor: I cannot begin to express how offended and disappointed I am. On Feb. 26,1 read the commentary entitled "Questioning Homosexual Rhetoric" by David Bauman. Bauman made quite a few hasty assumptions regarding the people he labels "the New Gays" and their role in "the new gay and lesbian movement." Bauman first concluded that the majority of "new" homosexuals in this generation are violent, disre­ spectful and quick to label fellow members of society as "backwards, stupid and frightened." To prove his point, he then took the worst case scenario by using the words and actions of "gay militancy groups" to serve as the mouthpiece for the entire homo­ sexual community. As a homosexual, I have heard people condemn me, judge me and question my rights as an individual. I have experienced many feelings of hostility towards me, not because I murdered or abused or hated but because I simply fell in love. Admittedly, it is unfortunate that many members of society cannot, or do not, support, if not accept, the rights of gays and lesbians. However, I am willing to recognize that choice as society's right. I must say, in all honesty, I have never told any person, heterosexual or homosexual, that he or she was "uneducated or stupid" for not accepting my beliefs or feelings. Stupidity is a word that well deserves serious thought I regret to admit that stupidity is a crutch for society. Stupidity is born through opinions that promote racism by singling out a group of people who seek only what is fair. Stupidity is created by eloquent individuals who take full advantage of any given opportunity to promote hate and harshness toward a group of fellow human beings. That is stupidity. In addition to stupidity, I would like to give all of you another word to ponder. That word is bigotry.

It's hard to say whether violent camcrime is increasing," counsels Jan ill, director of the Campus Violence mention Center, headquartered at son State University in Maryland. Ie suspects there may be more crime campuses, if only because there is -crime in society at large. If the general society is a barometer for campus society, we should expect an increase in campus crime," he said. The most common problems on the ASU campus are underage possession of alcohol and thefts from motor vehicles, according to Roy Tugman, director of ASU Security. Violent crimes aren't per­ vasive on campus. "We haven't had any rapes," said Tugman, "there are some assaults between individuals, (but there is) not a high inci­ dent rate." During the 1989-1990 school year, Sherrill said, 22 college students were murdered. That figure includes 14 Mon­ treal students killed in a hail of automatic fire by a gunman in one tragic night. At least 11 students have been mur­ dered in separate incidents so far during the 1990-91 school year. But Sherrill, for one, is unsure if the tragedies constitute a crime wave. He notes a new federal law requiring schools to report crimes more publicly and the slayings of five college students within three days last August in Gainesville, Fla„ have made students feel more vulnerable to crime. "We have a rate comparable to other schools in the UNC system," Tugman commented. Duke University has the highest rate in the state, with 68 crimes per 1,000 students. Duke also has 2,000 fewer students than at ASU. However, the worst crime record in the country was at Yale University where there was an average 11Ocrimes per1,000 students. Yale has 1,000 fewer students than at ASU. "This department can't take full credit for the lower campus crime rate because the attitude of the whole university con­ tributes to a safer environment,"Tugman said. There are several blue lights scattered around campus for the security of the students. "There has been very little useof these lights," continued Tugman, "which makes me think that they are effective. They give a secure feeling (to the stu­ dents)." Not all students share Tugman's view of security. "(ASU has) a very dark campus...(with) lots of dark places for people to hide," said Angie Martin, a junior transfer student. "I'm not real familiar with the area and not sure about what...what goes on around here...I feel more safe on the campus at Clemson." Some of the improvements Martin would suggest would be better lighting. especially in the parking lots, having hedges and bushes trimmed for better visibility and have security unlock dorm doors in the morning. "A few people I know don't really feel safe on campus but you haveto go out...you can't sit in your dorm room for four years," Martin said. Martin said that she knows about Mountaineer Escort, but she has never used it. "I'm not usually out real late, but if I were, I would probably use it Most of the time when I'm out (at night) I'm just going from Wey Hall to my dorm." The university judicial system exists to promote justice and fairness, to encour­ age responsibility and to protect the rights of the individual and the university com­ munity. All violations of student law are brought before Student Court. Violations of this code include aca­ demic dishonesty, disruption of activities, pet prohibitions, quiet hours, abuse of alcohol and many other nonviolent acts. All undergraduates fall under the jurisdic­ tion of the Student Court. Serious crimes such as assault, rape, theft, drunk and disorderlincss, possession of drug paraphernalia and sexual assault are also handled by Student Court. Last semester. Student Court handled 227 cases. Alcohol-related problems were the major violations. Drunk and disorderly had 17 violations and abuse of alcohol privilege had 27 and underage possession had 123. There were 5 cases of assault and bat­ tery, 1 assault, 2 thefts and no reported cases of rape. Editor's note: "The Watauga Demo crat" and CPS contributed tothis article. GA candidates present their campaign platforms By THOMAS R1GGINS Appalachian News Editor and By AMANDA NELSON Assistant News Editor AppUnchlmn Photo by Rondoll Rotnink Daryl Ghent and Reggie Murphy SGA elections for the 1991-2 school year will be held on March 20-21, with two tickets running for the office of presi­ dent and vice president. Current SGA Vice President Daryl Ghent and Public Defender Reggie Murphy will be running against SGA Community Affairs Chair Stephen Schmotzer and off-campus Senator April Blanton. "I've learned so much as vice president that I would do differently. I hope I get elected so that I can do those things," Ghent said. Ghent and Murphy are run­ ning on the platform "Diverse, yet united...bringing us all together." Murphy talked about the need for in­ creased student involvement on commit­ tees that influence the hiring of profes­ sors. "There are no students on these committees at all," Murphy said. He added that students are able to influence hiring in the position of vice chancellor. "I have had students come up to me and express concern about the diversity of the curriculum. Students don't know what their professorscan teach unless they ask," Murphy said. Ghent said he and Murphy also hope to exclude politics from SGA. "When poli­ tics gets into SGA, the students are put to the wayside. We are a non-partisan orga­ nization and our chief concern should be for all students," Ghent said. Part of the Ghent/Murphy platform is to increase student awareness on issues such as student fees, according to Ghent. "We would really promote it (the fee proposal) and present it early so that stu­ dents could make an educated decision." "We also want to give students the opportunity lobe involved in the planning projects of the university," Murphy said. He added that allowing more non-sena­ tors on planning committees would in­ crease the amount of student involve­ ment. "We'll stand on our records. We've learned a lot about student government, and we're now ready to put our knowl­ edge to work. We want to reach out and get a lot of people involved in student government," Ghent said. Ghent added, "I don't think that I've ever met anyone on this campus who I haven'tbeen able to leam something from. . . SGA is only as strong as the 11,500 students out there make it." Murphy continued, "Out of our plat­ form I think that the biggest thing is creat­ ing more unity..." Schmotzer and Blanton are campaign­ ing on a "Putting the student back in student government" platform. "I feel obligated to run...the communi­ cations between SGA and students is di­ minishing," commented Schmotzer on why he is running for SGA president. "We are supposed to be the mouthpiece for students,"explained Schmotzer. "The attitude of SGA is 'come to us' for infor­ mation, rather than taking the information to the students." The Schmotzer/Blanton ticket proposes increased distribution of information to students. According toSchmotzer, he and Blanton want to publicize proposed bills Appalachian Photo by RandaN Stephen Schmotzer and April Blanton See SGA page 2 ree speech issue raised over door Victory in Gulf sparks students | ^ student's display of "porno„ ® ttiaterial on his State University , at Binghamton dorm room ^tened to push him into court i fttniiiai charges.

On Jan. 25, they all received letters from Newing CollegeCoordinator Denise Nelson ordering the images removed be­ cause their "location are (sic) inappropri­ ate." Firestone took down the posters, but replaced them with the Penthouse photos. But officials still weren't happy. Judicial Affairs Coordinator Stephen Nelson said in a Feb. 14 letter to Firestone that Firestone must "remove any (pictures) which depict sexual acts, male and or female genitalia and other similar mate­ rial" by 5 p.m. on Feb. 18 or be charged with lewd and indecent behavior. On Feb. 18, students on the floor saw Nelson himself removing the Penthouse pictures from Firestone's door. Nelson did leave a newspaper photograph of two Japanese dancers who perform topless, subsequently explaining the dancers were practicing "an art form." "Why does this college wish to censor and be stricter than the la ws of New York State?" Firestone asked in requesting a hearing to defend himself. No hearing date has been set yet. Students' dorm rooms at other cam­ puses also have turned into free speech testing grounds in recent weeks. In February,Iowa State Universitydorm officials ordered a student to remove antiIraqi cartoons from his dorm room door, claiming the cartoons offended people. Officials at Cornell University told students to take flags and yellow ribbons, out up in support of U.S. troops in the Persian Gulf, out of their dormitory win­ dows because they violated campus pro­ hibitions against dorm displays that could fall and injure passersby. Kuwait: Students in U.S. greeted allied triumph with joy (CPS)— As President Bush declared a victory over Iraq just 42 days after fighting began, Kuwaiti students on U.S. campuses expressed joy and hopes of going homesoon to start rebuild­ ing. "It's awesome. Unbelievable," said Mohammad Boshahri,a Kuwaitistudying at Marietta College in Ohio. Boshahri, who will graduate in May, is anxious to return home. "It's really hard to wait, but what else can I do? It's my last semester here." Boshahri, in fact, is only one of two students from Kuwait still attending Marietta. The other seven were called for military duty. "Most were called when we were still on break, right after was broke out," re­ called Sharon Romama in Marietta's records office. Neither the U.S. State Department nor the National Association of Foreign Stu­ dent Affairs knew how many of the ap­ proximately 2,200 Kuwaitis who were studying in the United States before Iraq invaded their homeland Aug. 2 are still here. "Seventy percent of them have left," Boshahri said, admitting the figure was just an estimate. "I know a lot of guys who have left" Kuwaiti students, Boshahri explained, were more likely to be called to serve if they had a year or more of schooling left, or if they weren't doing too well. At the University of Wisconsin-Madi­ son, all five of the Kuwaiti and six of the Iraqi students who started the semes­ ter are still enrolled, said Meg Skinner, assistant director of international students. "They're all anxious about their fami­ lies," Skinner said. "None of them have been able to contact their families since Jan." Boshahri is sitting tight, waiting to graduate and hoping to hear from his two brothers, ages 20 and 22. "I'm kind of worried. I don't know what has happened to them." The hardest part, agrees Marietta class­ mate Mohammed El-Hussain, is "not knowing." "All my family, friends and relatives are there. We don't know if they are okay or not," El-Hussain said. El-Hussain is intent on remaining at Marietta two more semesters to earn his degree before returning to Kuwait. "If everything is okay over there, I'll go back." �-1 he Appalachian, Tuesday MARC^JQ IQQJ Lacrosse Club> ito meet: The Lacrosse Club will hold an organi­ zational meeting on Tuesday, March 19 at 8 p.m. in Broome-Kirk vm, room 211.

Schmotzer and Blanton want to im­ prove the communications between the SGA and the administration. "We want to get more students involved in committees across campus," explained Schmotzer. Schmotzer believes with increased com­ munications and more student support SGAcan become a more "powerful body... and people would get more involved." Blanton said she will tackle the issues of security personally. Schmotzer and Blanton want to install more blue lights and surveillance cameras in all parking lots. According to Blanton, as of now South Lot does not have a blue light, which means some students are paying the same price to park in a lot that is not protected as students who are parked in lots with fences and surveillancecameras.

Trying to figure out ®tt need to take and hoping to get those al the desired hour and not at 8 a.m. are °f many undergraduates at this point tester. The Inclement Weather Policy states, "The vice chancellor for business affairs, the associate vice chancellor for business affairs for physical plant operations and the director of public safety and security make an assessment regarding the need for canceling classes when inclement weather oc­ curs. Factors forconsideration in cancelling classes are wind chill factor, temperature, road conditions, conditions of parking lots and conditions of uni­ versity walkways." So there is an actual policy concerning we, the students, escaping class because of weather.There aren't many people who knew about this policy so I asked the two men who would know about matters like this. Dr. Harvey Durham is the vice chancellor of academic affairs and Dr. Ward Brian Zimmerman is the vice chancellor for business affairs.The final decision is laid upon Zimmerman' s shoulders. "If there's a possibility of inclement weather, we watch it and if it gets worse we call the other vice chancellors together and we talk. We finally make a decision with the director of personnel and the vice chancellor of academic affairs," explains Zimmerman. When Appalachian was founded in 1899, there was no policy until extremely bad weather made the school close down in 1930. Since then, the policy has been refined, and they weigh the im­ portance of the safety of the faculty and the stu­ dents heavily. Durham remarks, "Most of the time, when bad weather is threatening, the chancellors are calling each other up and having conferences during all hours of the morning." As the policy stated, certain areasmust becleared and safe for the university to be open. "There are visual checks of the parking lots, and walkways have to be clear," says Durham. Sometimes the main roads and the walkways are clear, but the side roads are dangerous. Durham remembers, "One time, school had to be called off because most of the faculty and some students could not drive on the off roads even though the main roads were cleared off." "This school and this town are built and pre­ pared for physical weather. They will work in the wee hours of the morning to make the town workable," Zimmerman said. He also is glad that the policy hasn't been tested this year because we have had a mild winter. The issue of bad weather on campus is vital, but sometimes all of the students are on break when physical weather occurs. "Don't risk life or limb to gel here!" states Durham. "Sometimes registration will be delayed if it is dangerous to drive up the mountain." If the decision is to not call off the schools and it is unsafe to go to classes, then Zimmerman says to call your teachers and explain. The decision to close or delay classes will be made before 7 a.m.Then each school in the district has its own special code to call in and cancel the program. In the past, there have been prank calls made to the radio stations and then, not knowing, the stations have falsely announced that schools have closed. The codes are used as safeguards against this. Zimmerman said, "We're here to provide a place for faculty to teach to students who want to learn and basically we'll try to make that as pos­ sible as we can." Legends and the Pub enforce new guest policies Trial period makes it more difficult for non-students to cause trouble event and may suffer disciplinary consequences as a result of their individual actions." Larry TriveUe, director of the student union, states that hosts have always been responsible for their guests. The new rules are in place to prevent If you have recently brought a friend from offdisturbances caused by guests, and non-students campus to an event at the Pub or Legends, you may have historically caused most of the trouble at have noticed that it was a bit more of a hassle than these events. it used to be. Since Fcb.16, new rules have been in Tri vette acknowledges that the rules will tend to place covering the admission of guests to all events discourage some guests from attending events. at the Pub and some at Legends. "The student is primary. Safety is primary. Funis primary. Non-students are secondary," he said. He also said,"we would prefer no non-students on campus." However, since, realistically speaking, students will always want to bring non-student friends to events, attempts must be made to limit the guests that come and prevent guest infrac­ tions. Randy Kelly, director of Legends, decides whether or not the rule is to be used at any given event in the building based on the history of the type of event. For example, band concerts such as the recent ones by InDecision and Rob Base are usually quite trouble-free, so the rule is not used for that type of show, he said. However, DJ dances such as "Saturday Night Live," although usually peaceful, are occasionally the scene of infractions, so they warrant useof the rule. Also, Kelly receives adv ice from nightclub owners around the state about whether or not particular band shows need extra security. According to Trivette, the event that triggered the new regulations was a Pub party sponsored by the fraternity Kappa Alpha Psi. A fight broke out between former Kappa students and former stu­ dents of Omega Psi Phi, a rival fraternity, and the party was shut down early. Now club members are responsible for keeping out anyone likely to cause trouble. If a club chooses to accept guests, he said, it is "choosing to take an additional responsibility in order to make a profit," and if those guests disturb the activity, the club "may suffer disciplin­ ary action." Kelly added that the rule was implemented partly to prevent non-students from arriving at events and Appsltchimn Photo by Mcoto Quhm convincing strangers to be their student hosts. He also stated that the rule is being enforced on a trial STUDENTS ARE ADMITTED AT THE PUB: Students witnessed the new admittance policy as they entered the Pub Saturday night to see bands.

By JONATHAN WATTERSON Appalachian Staff Writer As before, each student is limited to three guests at an event, and guests must furnish identification proving themselves to be at least 17 years old. Now, however, both guest and host must sign a card at the door agreeing that the host is responsible for the actions of the guest and that the guest must leave when the host leaves, and the IDs of both are taken and held at the door for as long as they are at the event. In addition, if an event is sponsored by an organization, the organization is held responsible for the guests' behavior. A member of the club must be present at the door to approve each guest who enters, and the club has the prerogative to accept or not to accept any non-student into the facility.

The Teaching Fellows program be­ gan four years ago when legislators budgeted S2 million in scholarships to encourage academically talented high school students to become teachers.

Recipients who meet qualifications and main­ tain a 2.25 gradepoint average during the freshman year and a 2.5 grade point average for the remain­ ing years receive a $5,000 scholarship for each of four years.The scholarship is repaid by teaching in North Carolina for a four-year period. "I hadn't even heard of the program when I was in high school," Peeler said. A guidance counselor at Salisbury High School informed Peeler of the new program. She credits the special classes and activities offered to Teaching Fellows at Appala­ chian for her confidence in the classroom. "I haven't had anything happen yet I couldn't handle," Peeler said. "Discipline in the classroom has never been a problem." The math background she received at Appalachian and special sessions on planning lessons and classroom activities help her prepare for classes in introduction to algebra, algebra and geometry. "The programs offered to Teaching Fellows were wonderful," she said."I would encourage all Teaching Fellows to take advantage of every op­ portunity that comes along." A seminar to identify "at-risk" students has especially come in handy.Three of Peeler's classes are for students who are repeating a failed math course.

For many students, summer signals not only sunshine and the end of another semester, but also summer job hunting. Securing a summer job can be frustrat­ ing and time consuming. The office of ' ,rcer Planning and Employment helps students seeking summer employment through its fourth annual Summer Job Fair. The first Summer Job Fair was held four years ago in hopesof helping students find summer employment, both locally and in their hometowns. "There was a crunch for summer employment in the immediate area, and we didn't have a service to help with finding summer jobs. We wanted students to have a jump on the summer job market before school was out," savs Thomas. I lie Summer Job Fair offers students an opportunity to talk with employers about local, statewide and out-of-state job open­ ings and internships. Employers represent four states: North Carolina, Georgia, Vir­ ginia andTennessee.

Baseball squad experiences early season ups and downs ' qpl I By PAT MORGAN Appalachian Staff Writer It is often said that many times the best things in life go virtually unnoticed. Case in point: The Appalachian State baseball team. In the 17 seasons that Head Coach Jim Morris has been at the Mountaineer helm, ASU has posted a 456-258-3 overall record- the highest winning percentageof any sport in Appalachian athletic history. The Apps have kicked off their 1991 campaign following a 1990 season which saw them post a 19-22-1 overall recordASU's first losing year since 1980. Prior to 1990, the Mountaineers captured at least 26 wins per season for a nine-year period, spanning from 1981 to 1989. This season the Apps look to rekindle the his­ torical fires thatcarried them to the NCAA Regionals in 1984 and 1986. The 1991 version of Mountaineer base­ ball started off with a bang as ASU won its first six games of the year, highlighted by a 13-7 victory over national powerhouse UNC-Chapcl Hill. Just as it looked as if the Apps were rocketing to another 20-win season, the team began to falter. Due in large part to an outbreak of the flu, and various other ailments on the team, the Mountaineers dropped five of their six contests, includ­ ing losing three conference matchups at the hands of The Citadel. When the Apps were blanked 10-0 by ApptlachlMn File Photo the Yellow Jackets of Georgia Tech, it IN FULL SWING: The 1991 ASU baseball season is in full swing.

Forms must be com­ pleted and turned in by March 25 for the competition, set for April 2. Water basketball teams can consist of any number of players; however, three men and three women play at a time. Two co-ed teams of the six players face off with an inner tube as a goal to defend.

The Mountaineers emerged victorious in the second half of the doubleheader Saturday, 4-1, behind the pitching of Danny Wills. Wills scattered five hits over seven innings to even hisrecord at 2-2 and notch his first complete game of the season. "We got great pitching performances on Saturday," Morris said. On Sunday, the Buccaneers bounced back and avoided the three-game sweep by downing ASU, 5-1. Rex Havens earned the victory for ETSU, allowing five hits and keeping the Appalachian hitters in check all after­ noon. "We had Havens on the ropes at times," Morris said. "We swung at some bad pitches, hit some balls right at them and a couple times the wind held the ball up." The Buccaneers struck first in the sec­ ond inning when second basemanThomas Neal singled home designated hitter Rod Walker. The Bucs added three more runs in the top half of the fourth inning, off ASU pitcher Wayne Carter, who was making his first start of the season. Avery Wagoner replaced Carter in the sixth inning and allowed the Bucs' final run of the contest in the seventh inning. The Mountaineers scored their only run of the contest in the bottom of the seventh.

The Appalachian State Lady Moun­ taineers lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament for the second straight year, 96-57, to Florida State last Wednesday night in Tallahassee, Fla. Despite entering the game having won seven straight contests, including the SouthernConferenceToumament Cham­ pionship, the 12th seeded Lady Apps were simply overpowered by the fifth-seeded Lady Seminoles. Appalachian, which committed 34 turnovers on the evening, fell behind the Lady Seminoles 15-0 to start the game. ASU played Florida State even the rest of the half and were down 43-28 at halftime. Continued ballhandling woes in the second half enabled FSU to build their lead and kept the Lady Mountaineers from mounting any challenge during the final 20 minutes. A disappointed Linda Robinson, ASU women's head coach, said,"We were just handing the ball over. We came on strong down the stretch this year, but when we play bad, we play bad. Florida State played about as well as they could and we played about as bad as we could have." Appalachian forwardShannon Thomas scored eight consecutive points to cut the FSUleadfrom24-10to24-18. However, that would be the closest Appalachian would come after the 15-0 disaster that opened the game. "They're a better basketball team, but they aren't 39 points better," Robinson said. "We just played about as bad as possible." Heading into the game, Robinson felt Appalachian, the bottom seed in the Mid­ east Region, had a good chance to defeat the Lady Seminoles. The Lady Apps played FSU in Tallahassee last season, losing only by 15,77-62. Plus, Robinson felt last season's NCAA Tourney experi­ ence would benefit herclub in their bid for the upset. "I really felt we had a chance," Robinson said. "After watching them on film, I thought wecould answer thechallenges. I thought being to the NCAAs the year before would help us, but weseemed to let the situation control us. "It was a great environment for them (FSU). They had a very nice crowd and when we got down early, it was tough. We made one little run, but then they pulled away again andnever looked back." Thomas led ASU with 19pointsandl2 rebounds, but was guilty of five turn­ overs. Guard Penny Roberson chipped in 16 points, five rebounds and three assists. Meanwhile, ASU point guard Karen Gruca scored only three points on one-ofnine shooting and was guilty of a gamehigh nine turnovers while dishing out only five assists. For FSU, forward Chantelle Dishmim led the way, scoring a game-high 20point* and ripping down a team-high 10 rebound*. The Ijdy Apps finished their season with a 19-14 record. "Even with the way it ended, it was a tremendous season," Robinson explained. 'To have started off the way we did and then pull it together like that is something I've never experi­ enced with a team." i �A A A A A Appletree Aporttnents Blowing Rock Mini Warehouses 10% Discount and Reduced Deposits For Students 262-0996 Individually Fireproofed Fully Furnished 2 Bedrooms 2 Bathrooms • Up to 4 Parking Spaces per Unit Dishwasher • Washing Machine & Dryer Microwave NO NEED TO REGISTER CARSON CAMPUS ** * *v - - iV * *\V A * A -J ** ^ • 262 Ceiling Fan Disposal Corner of Water & HowardStreets behind Heili?

Already elections for new officers are underway, and budgets are beginning to be considered for the next fiscal year. This year the budget council should takea serious look at student wages and give organizational members a raise. Most students who participate in an organization on campus put a great deal of time and energy into it. Some students sacrifice memberships in other organizations in order to give 100 percent. When students are willing to put time and effort into organizations to make them successful, it takes a large chunkout of their spare time. This forces them to devote less time toacademic pursuits, jobs which may help pay their way through school and other areas of interest. Currently, wages for student leaders are not comparable to minimum wage. Some may argue the experience we receive as student leaders on campus makes up for that lack of payment. However, some students cannot afford to hold leadership positions because they are working their way through school, and organizational positions do not provide adequate income for that student to support him or herself. If low wages keep students from working in areas they areinterested in and gaining valuable experience, they lose. Doesn' t this tofeat the purpose of what a student organization is supposed to be providing students? Most students could work at any one of the food services facilities on campus for half the time they put into an organization and make twice the I foney. They might not gain valuable leadership experience, but the bottom line is they will graduate. At the very least the budget council should consider giving students an I "crease of 5-10 percent every year in their wages. The budget council "Creases the yearly budgets simply because of inflation. Shouldn't students I* given the same advantage? Student leaders' wages have not been raised in the last five years. Every ^dent who works for minimum wage on campus in any department has received a raise for every semester they work on campus with the exception of student leaders. Student leaders devote time and energy into the organi^'ions they work for to make them successful. They should be rewarded for toirefforts by an affordable stipend. Without a raise in student wages, many students will be forced to drop out of the organizations they enjoy simply reause they must devote their time to a reasonably paying job so they can ^ their four year degree. Student wages need to be raised next year to avoid a drop in membership 1,1 student organizations. THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON "The fuel light's on, Frank! We're all going to die! Wait, wait Oh, my mistake — that's the intercom light." By CHRISTOPHER OATES Appalachian Staff Writer The dust has begun to settle once again in the battle concerning the legalities of abortion, but what of the moral ramifications? The Random House dictionary defines abortion as "the expulsion of a human before it is viable." Working with this definition, the discussion here will focus on what is considered the real issue. What exactly are the ramifications of aborting a fetus, and what exactly con­ stitutes viability in this context? An exercise in absurdity is the question of whether a human fetus is life or just potential life. Just as absurd is the issue as to when adeveloping fetus becomes life. Life is certainly a difficult thing to define. However, this definition of life is offered: a complete functioning (biological) system with inherent characteristics that separate it from non-(biological) systems, which is created by another system of its likeness by which it is known and which the offspring lives independently of. For example, a human sperm can "live" outside the male for up to 24 hours. Therefore, sperm is a form of life. Being created by a human, a sperm is a form of human life, just like a blood cell that can be kept alive outside of the human body. Since a sperm is alive, it follows that the fetus is just as alive and is just as much human life. With this established, the real issue of the abortion matter surfaces as being not whether there is the destruction of human life, for that has been obvious through these absurdexamples, but whether a human being is being destroyed. The viability of a human being would necessarily have to mean a human being in his completion. So what constitutes a basically complete human being? Certain assumptions must be made about the composition of a human being to answer this question. The human body has been studied since the dawn of time. The mind, too, has been studied for centuries, but are humans just flesh and blood being driven by intellect? Is a Homo sapiens nothing more than a primate of superior intelligence with its physical form being its only separation from its lower primates? The Darwinists would perhaps answer "yes" to this question in support of the evolutionists' theory. Those who possess souls cannot, however, accept that the soul simply "evolved" from organic matter. It is, therefore, argued here that a human being is composed, not only of a human body, but also a living soul. The Random House dictionary is again enlisted for a definition of thesoul: "the principle of life...in humans, regarded as a distinct spiritual entity from the body." With the soul being defined as being alive under the same criteria as was placed on defining life, with the exception being that the soul is not a biological system, but a spiritual one. The origin of the human soul is a broad discussion within itself. However, this argument still stands with the assumption that a soul does exist. The means by which it is created or is acquired is irrelevant for this theory to be sound. Now, working under the assumption that a human being is composed of both a human body and a living soul, certain questions arise.When does the fetus become a human being? When is the body incorporated with the soul? Is it reasonable to assume that, at the moment the egg is fertilized, a suitablevessel is created to house the soul? No, it cannot be considered reasonable, for, at concep­ tion, there is only a mass of yet undifferentiated cells, hardly a suitable dwelling for a soul. Can it then also be reasonable to subscribe to the idea that two souls can dwell within one living system, that system being the one of the pregnant mother? This point is an open one, but it is highly unlikely. By accepting these ideas, it can be determined that the earliest possible moment the soul could be incorporated with the body is at birth. Firstly, because birth marks thp completion of the fetus as a viable human body.Secondly,, because birth is the moment at which the fetal body is no longer a part of the mother's living system. If the soul is what truly drives the intellect and body, the soul would need to be present within the infant's body at its firs# moment of liberation from the mother tocreate a separate entity. Working under these conditions, this theory is offered on the distribution of souls. A soul is quite possibly created only when a suitable vessel (a viable human body) is created. Therefore, if a fetus is not allowed to develop into a basically complete human body, then a soul is not created. In the event, however, that a soul is indeed created for every fetus at the moment of conception, the destruction of one component of a human being, the human body, eliminates thepossibility of the creation of ahuman being as a whole. In simple terms, without a human body, a human being cannot exist. It can in turn be argued that every time a component of a human fetus is destroyed, the potential for a human being is destroyed, such as in the absurd exampleof using any birth control that destroys the spjerm. This argument is weak and unreasonable, but it does support the main promise. The social issues of abortion are often confused by the debates over the circumstances under which abortions should be performed. This theory not only applies to abortion as a form of birth control such as condoms or "the pill," but also in "socially acceptable" conditions. It is important to understand what the actual implica­ tions of the process are to intelligently determine whether or not the process is moral under any circumstances. After all, if a fetus is indeed a human being at conception, why is the destruction of that human being less signifi­ cant in some cases than in others? Senior class gift selection is still hot topic Supporting library is common senior gift To the Editor: I was pleased to see that the number of letters to the editor scoffing the senior class gift and bashing the Senior Committee has been dwindling recently. I now feel conpelled, however, to enlighten the university community with my concerns over the gift. Like many other seniors, I chose to pledge my hard-earned money to the construction of a gazebo honoring the Broyhill family. I did this riot necessar­ ily because I felt it was the fitting tribute to the university, but because I felt it was the "senior" thing to do. I felt almost bound to leave some part of myself here at Appalachian. I feel that class gifts are a good thing and should continue. I sp>cnt my spring break doing research at Davis Library at the University of North Carolina at Chap*] Hill. It was during break that I became incensed about our gift. Each of us knows it is impossible to do high quality research at our own Belk Library. In fact, most pjeople I know leave the mountain to do any research. UNC-Chapicl Hill, Wake Forest and UNC-Charlotte seem to be the most pxipular destinations. It seems to me that many Appalachian students see these libraries as an oasis in the desert of information at our school. The students at UNC-CH seem almost as concerned about their library as we are about ours. In a recent article in "The Daily Tar Heel" (UNC's version of this papjer). University Librarian James Gowan was quoted as saying, "In truth, the faculty and graduate students aren't going to be too interested in coming here." Why the uproar? UNC's library has dropp>ed from 10th place in expjenditures on books to 51st place (nationally) in just five years. Woe be it to UNC. I wonder where our library ranks? The senior class at UNC decided to set up an endowment for the library as their senior class gift. They have raised more than $355,000 to start their endowment. What a novel ideastudents setting up an endowment at the library at what will soon be their alma mater. If memory serves me correctly, a library endowment was one of the choices for our senior class gift. It's a shame our class doesn't have the foresight of our contemporaries at UNC. Many argue that Appalachian will never match UNC for the quality of education attainable. Evidently, we will never match UNC intellectually, either. I continue to support the Senior Committee and their choice foT the class gift. I feel every senior should embrace the university and try to make it better than it was before he/she entered school. I hop* that next year's Senior Committee decides to make ASU better by creating a library endowment for their class gift. If it does, I'll be more than happy to contribute to their fund raising efforts, even though I'll already be an alumnus. Joel Strickland ASU Box 12283 Class complainers had chance for choice To the Editor: This letter is in respjonse to the Jeffery Pip*s and Beth Poplin letter concerning the 1991 senior class gift and "The Appalachian" editorial of Feb. 21. "Once again" it is the misinformed (notice not uninformed) who are critical of work being done by their fellow classmates. "Once again" it is this misinformation that spjoils the recogni­ tion of spveial p*ople like the Broyhills and the Doughertys. As members of last year's Senior Committee, we are concerned about the negative publicity directed to the 1991 Senior Committee and the senior class gift. Last year the committee was given flack over the sponsorship of the B.B. Dougherty statue (which, Mr. Pip*s and Ms. Poplin, is not and never will be erected at the Broyhill Inn). Again this year, the Senior Committee is hit by criticism of the Broyhill Garden. Simply put, if you don't like the gift, don't contribute, and keep negative publicity and misinformation to yourself. Members of the Senior Committee work long hours (voluntarily) to recognize the senior class. The committee's purpjose isn't to gain personal wealth and p*rsonal recogni­ tion. One main Senior Committee goal is the unification of the senior class. Tight budgets or not, the university administration once again has gener­ ously given financial support for Senior Committee programs. However, it is the rcspjonsibility of the committee to budget this money. The Senior Committee plans and implements a year-long celebration of activities, programs'and recognition for the 1991 senior class. Furthermore, it has become the responsibility of the Senior Committee to establish a class gift and solicit support from fellow classmates. As far as the Senior Committee and class gift selection process is concerned, all 2,796 seniors were informed about the committee and the plans for a class gift at some time within the last year. During the 1990 spiring semester, invitations were sent to all rising seniors encouraging their participation in the 1991 Senior Committee. All rising seniors were given the opportunity to submit an application for membership in the new Senior Committee. Seniors were informed about the class gift, the phone-a-thon, contact tables, suggestion box in the P.O. and information sessions via the "Senior Newsletter," WASU, "The Appalachian," direct mail and bulletin boards. There is no excuse to give about not being informed or contacted about Senior Committee or its programs like the class gift. The ideas of giving money to the library, sponsoring a scholarship and awarding contributions to particular departments are grand. However, how realistic are they? After all, there is already a great deal of money and controversy tied up in the library and academic departments due to the state budget system. As far as scholarships are concerned, the university currently awards more than $2 million annually in scholarships. Also, nearly 68 percent of the Appalachian student body receives some form of financial assistance. But to link the Senior Committee and the class gift to these program areas is a bit absurd. Here is something we feel the seniors should remember: a gift is a gift...you give and don't necessarily receive monetarily. But the recognition is real. Recognition for the Broyhill family and for seniors contributing to the gift as alumni is a real receipt. Thank you 1991 Senior Committee for continuing the tradition. To the victor may come the spxjils, but you're all winners! Keith Barber President, 1990 Senior Committee Patrick K. Setzer Vice President, 1990 Senior Committee spring break; and definitely, it will cost you money to buy tickets rather than throwing your meal card at the ticket taker. These are all valid reasons not to put in an appjearance, but they can be plusses as well. Consider the trip to Asheville and the tournament to be a road trip; surely everyone enjoys an occasional annual journey. As for the tournament going on during spring break, this merely means you can have ! ' as much fun during that weekend as you want and not have to worry about classes on Monday. Finally, the cost of tickets may be a problem, but for the price of that ticket you also gain an opportunity to show your face on ESPN and witness some of the best basketball you will ever see. If these reasons aren't enough for you, then simply go to next year's tournament to show your pjride in your school and cheer your team onto a tournament victory. This year at Saturday's game, it was great fun to watch the Furman folks' faces fall. The worst piart of the whole weekend was on Sunday when there was a lot of gold present, but only in the accompaniment of navy rather than black. Although Marshall's team wasn't even in the tournament this year, I believe there were more Marshall fans there than ASU pjeople. So, when making your plans next year around spiring break time, remember to set aside a weekend and some money for the tournament so we ; f » can show how much pjride there really is in being a Mountaineer.

I didn't agree with all of them and even left some of the meetings less than satisfied. However, that's the way life is. Look at our nation's pjolitics. People don't always agree on what's right in life and there's little anyone can do about it but get involved. I'm tired of picking up "The Appalachian" and reading all the complaints about what the Senate has done to anger someone this time. Here again, though, everyone has the right to an opinion. But, unless you want to run for Senate or at the very least expjress your feelings to your Senator, your bellyaching isn't going to do any good after the fact We can't say, "Oh wait.

Finally, if such a bill which is not a law and probably doesn't exist anyway happens to be out there, despite their attempts to totally disavow it, it's probably a good idea To the Editor: and in the best interest of the students, who may be too dull to understand that I would like to use your paper as a he world is full of loaded guns and forum for responding to the SGA and i abid dogs, and thank God we have a u Dr. Skibbe returns with SGA summary Classifieds HEADING FOR EUROPE THIS SUMMER? | classes. 2 BR. 1 bath and basement $400. 4 miles out. 3 BR. 1 bath, full basement. $550, onAppoCart route.

Earlier in the evening, Nader told students not to say that they were doing their best and to say instead that they were doing better. "If you're doing your best, then you can never do better," he said. Nader's speech covered what he con­ sidered to be current problems in the po­ litical system and civic duties that he said each citizen should undertake. Last year's problems with the savings and loans werecaused because "everyone looked the other way,"Nader said.

"If you're looking for what type of federal funds are out there, 'The Student Guide' is a really good resource," said Braxton. These guides are available in the Fi­ nancial Aid Office. Types of financial aid that are avail­ able include Pell Grants, North Carolina Student Incentive Grants, work-study programs, Perkins Loans and Stafford Student Loans. Academic scholarships are also avail­ able, but Braxton said students should ap­ ply as early as possible. "There is not sufficient funding available for all stu­ dents who could qualify for an academic scholarship," said Braxton. "The earlier the application gets in the office and the higher the GPA, the more likely you are to be a recipient," added Braxton. About330 scholarships will be available for next year. The application deadline is March 15. AS U has a default rate of 3.3 percent on the Perkins Loans and 3.5 percent on Stafford Student Loans. These figures mean that 97 percent of ASU students who receive these loans pay them back as in­ structed. "I'm extremely proud of our default rates," Braxton said.

The law required students who do not have high school diplomas to take a test to become eligible for federal college aid. The rule is aimed at curbing federal student loan defaults, which totaled $8 billion through fiscal year 1990, and tar­ gets the nation's for-profit trade schools, which have among the highest default rates. The law also would affect the nation's 1,200 junior and community colleges. "The fighting against the Republican Guards hasn't been any stiffer than the fighting against anybody else over there," Army Lt. Gen. Thomas Kelly said in Washington. The battle came as allied forces were invading Iraq, cutting off any retreat from Kuwait. Marine Brig. Gen. Richard Neal was quoted as saying, "We are beating the Iraqi forces throughout the Kuwaiti the­ atre." Neal went on to say 21 Iraqi divisions-about half of Hussein's army in the theater-no longer were effective fighting units and "the remainder of the military is collapsing across the front" President Bushdescribed the three-dayold battles as a "rout." He called on Iraqi soldiers to lay down their arms to avoid further bloodshed and dismissed Hussein's latest offer to withdraw from Kuwait "There will be no let-up, no cease-fire, no time-outs until Saddam Hussein him­ self raises the white flag," said Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole, R-Kan. "Our mission is clear. It is time to finish the job, once and for ah- many of whose students are immigrants and older people who lack high school diplomas. Campus registrars complain that pass­ ing the tests would require a level of literacy many of their part-time and night-school students have not yet achieved. In fact, many of the students enrolled specifically to master language skills. Critics say the process is akin to forcing students to prove they already know what they're about to learn in college. "We're just treacling water," said Kim Kirschman, director of financial aid at Sam Nunn, D-Ga., chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, warned that how the United States deals with the military, political and security problems exposed by Iraq's defeat "may end up being the most difficult phase of the entire conflict." A news analysis in "The Charlotte Observer" reported the ground war many feared wouldbecome a meat grinder turned into a rout, with ground gained at record speeds and Iraqi soldiers surrendering by the tens of thousands. CBS News won a major coup for the networks Tuesday when a CBS News reporter drove into Kuwait City. "We drove into the city with no problems whatsoever," said Bob McKeown in a live report at 10:19 a.m. McKeown and his news team drove into Kuwait City with their own satellite "uplink." The news team said the city was almost deserted and there was no sign of Iraqis. "Asfarasweknow, thelraqishave left," said McKeown. For once, U.S. viewers got to see raw news, unfiltered by military censors. Editor'snote "TheCharloiteObserver" contributed to this article. Lincoln Land Community College in Illi­ nois. So far all Kirschman has received from the U.S. Department of Education, which will oversee the program, is a list of tests to administer to students. Greensboro, ASU's library is both be­ low and above average. It is above average in book bindings (over500,000 volumes), operating hours (99 hours per week), and journal and periodical holdings (4,100 subscrip­ tions). In contrast, ASU's library is below average in its total operating budget of $3.3 million compared to $4 million at UNCG. This budget allows the ASU library to spend only $287 per student while UNCG spends $364 per student. Barker presented several approaches t the need for expansion. These include seeking help for alumni affairs and fedcri grants, getting funding from other deparl ments and fundraising. Fundraising is being considered as th strongest possibility of the four, accordin to Barker. SGA plans to give students chance to be involved in the fundraisin effort if it takes place. SGA will not hold a senate meeting o March 12. The next meeting will be oi March 19. It's not Sesame St. Kirschman does not plan to start administering the tests until he re­ ceives the department's regulations, which could be two to five years away," he said. "We have an extensive assessment policy for entering students anyway," he said. Resistance is more active in California. Democratic Rep. George Millerhas intro­ duced abill that would helpsome students at the state's community and junior col­ leges continue to get financial aid without taking the federally mandated standard­ ized test The bill would allow the state's non­ profit schools to circumvent the Educa­ tion Department's "ability to benefit" regulation. California's community colleges alone face losing $200 million in federal aid this year if they fail to administer the test Miller said. Under Miller's proposal, students at public and non-profit schools whohaven't graduated from high school could par­ ticipate in any state-approved substitute for the test including counseling, and will receive financial aid. The legislation would "correct unin­ tended but disastrous consequences for community colleges (resulting from the regulation)," Miller said. "The California community college system is founded on the premise that higher education should be open to all persons regardless of previous experience or academic performance," he said.

Arab and Arab-American students report harassment: Arab and Arab-American students reported still more instances of harass­ ment. Someone shot an arrow into an outside wall of a Muslim place of worship at Purdue. At the University of Pennsylvania, an Arab-American dinner scheduled by a group called The Christian Association was disrupted by a bomb threat The University of Denver, where 8 percent of the 7,600 students on campus are foreign-bom, beefed up security patrols Feb. 16 after a 21-year-old female student who had been wearing a T-shirt featuring Arabic lettering was beaten by three assailants. University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire police arrested a student Jan. 25 for allegedly sending a threatening message via the school's Email system to a professor of Middle Eastern descent. First mock draft notices, and now mock draft sanctuary notices: i Media outlets in Southern California Feb. 12 received a statement | | printed on official University of California stationary announcing s campus at Santa Barbara had been declared a"sanctuary" for people who I want to dodge a military draft. ' However, the letter—which bore the signatures of UCSB Chancellor Barbara S I Uehling and UC President David Gardner—was "a fake, a phony," said campus spokesman Keif Hillsbery. The week before, the MSU Democrats at Michigan State University publicly apologized for circulating a fake draft notice in several dorms in hopes of arousing anti-war sentiment. The notice instead panicked some students into making plans to leave school. Students troubled by situation in Middle East: Even when they come in for unrelated reasons, many students end up telling counselors at Stanford University's Help Center they're troubled by "sadness, anger and confusion over events taking place in the Middle East," counselor David Rasch reports. ^ss'stant Help Center Director Mary O'Connor added many students evince a felling of gloom in talking out their problems. Among the most common symptoms of war stress: a sense of "being glued to the I television," forgetfulness and difficulty in concentrating, and feelings of guilt for being comfortable and safe as the carnage in the Gulf region continues. ' Another student recants rape allegations: DELAWARE, Ohio (CPS)—An un­ named Ohio Wesleyan University student admitted Feb. 15 that she had lied when she reported she had been raped near campus last fall, local police Detective Mark I Drum said. . The woman, who had made other false crime reports, admitted she had lied after police confronted her with their suspicions about the assault, which was the second of three rape reports. The student will now face campus disciplinary procedures to determine if she committed "a serious breach of our student code of conduct, spokesman Todd Wilson said. Separate false rape reports caused widespread fear at George Washington and Ohio State universities in December and January, and ultimately prompted punish­ ment of the women who made the reports. Paper launches drive to publish campus crime reports: PITTSBURGH, Pa. (CPS)—Hoping to pressure University of Pittsburgh administrators into letting them see reports of crimes committed in and around the urban campus, editors of the Pitt News asked students to sign a petition. Police had given the paper crime reports until Feb. 6, when campus lawyer Richard Holmes stopped the practice, saying it compromised ongoing investiga tions and threatened to invade the privacy of people mentioned in the report. Pitt News Editor Scott Ross said the paper will take legal action to force the hill crime reports if necessary. tfijjit a* tab bio tac.a .r. tuition rises40percent:SANFRANCISCO, Calif. (CPS)— In what was perhaps Jhe biggest single tuition increase imposed on any students anywhere, the University of California's Board on Regents voted Feb. 15 to raise in-state "registration fees" by 40 percent. "We are disappointed," said Susan Polan of a statewide student lobbying group that had asked the regents to hold to their previous promise to keep tuition hikes to a maximum 10 percent a year. In a press release, the regents said they felt they had no choice amid drastic cuts in state funding of the nine-campus UC system Besides raising in-state fees by $650 to $2,274 and out-of-student fees by $1 282 to $9,973, the board also voted to cut 1,000 non-teaching employees from the campuses' workforce and to delay the building of a new UC campus Students dump mascot because of objectj, (CPS)—Some students at the Univer­ sity of North Dakota (UND) at Grand Forks have officially accused administra­ tors of mixing metaphors, and want them unmixed immediately. A city committee is upset that the campus s new mascot—a big greengorilla named "Thunder the Bleacher Creature" who entertains at UND's basketball and hockey games—does not quite fit with a school whose official team name is the "Fighting Sioux," and wants to dump ei­ ther the gorilla or the Native American name. "We're questioning the rationale of having a green gorilla represent the Fighting Sioux," said Mike Saunders, a law student at UND and a Native Ameri­ can. In January, a Grand Forks committee on discrimination recommended UNDget rid of either Thunder or the Fighting Sioux name. Saunders, a member of the committee, prefers getting rid of the name. He finds the fighting Sioux name derogatory to­ ward Native Americans. "Sioux literally means 'little snake,"' Saunders explained. "It's not what the Sioux call themselves. Drop the name, and you can do whatever you want with the mascot." On Jan. 30, Eastern Michigan Univer­ sity regents did just that, voting to stop using its "Hurons" nickname and logo. "I do not believe we can justify the continued use of symbols which we now know offend and denigrate, however un­ intentionally, members of our commu­ nity," EMU President William Shelton said in announcing the decision. Scores of other schools have dropped Native Americansymbols, nicknames and mascots in recent years. Among them were Northeastern State, Stanford, St Johns and Syracuse univer­ sities, as well as Indiana University of Pennsylvania and St. Mary's College. Conversely, a conservative student group at Dartmouth College is trying to raise money to convince the school to reinstate its "Indian" name, which was replaced more than 10 years ago. Most recently. Native American groups in October failed to convince administra­ tors and boosters at the University of Dlinois at Champaign-Urbana to give up Chief Illiniwek, its Indian mascot In 1989, Central Michigan University regents decided to keep their Chippewa symbols, though they agreed to sponsor special "Native American awareness" programs on campus. So far, UND administrators have de­ clined to take a stand on the controversy because the school has not officially adopted Thunder as the mascot, said Peter Johnson, UND's media relations director. ^Kdpmyfuss £ The "San Dieg0 dressed up in a J. %• costume andaPadre™^ tams at games for suggests Catholic ^ BJ T5\NG _ 1 :35a 3:35, 5:40 ALL MOVIES IN STEREO Sm iNn ^ J| ^ |J P f* R bcpc Continued from page 1 fornia residents tried to do the same, the utility company took the group to court there are quite enough people to turn the A5-3 Supreme Court decision followed situation around," Nader added. saying that the addition of the group's In Wisconsin, Nader spoke of a con­ newsletter in the utility bill was violating sumer group that was formed to combat the utility company's free speech right to the price of high utility bills.The Wiscon­ remain silent. sin legislature allowed the group to sub­ "You are entitled to an insert that al­ mit their membership application in the lows you to band together using your own monthly electric bill. money to straighten them out," Nader According to Nader, over 100,000resi­ said. dents joined the group in one year.

Johnny Quest, from Raand Billyclub Fest, from ^jtgton, will play Thursday night at ij The other two bands, the Popes, "*0«pel Hi'l, and Eight or Nine Feet, from Raleigh, will play in the Pub on Saturday night. "This festival was organized to give people a chance to get exposed to bands they wouldn't normally see here at Ap­ palachian," said MattMcNaney, A.P.P.S. Clubshows chairperson. "With the recent success of North Carolina bands like Dillon Fence and the Sex Policehere at ASU, thefestival makes a lot of sense, said WASU local music director Billy Maupin. "Dillon Fence drew over 600 people to Legends last month," Maupin said. "That's almost as much as the Connells." The bandsplaying atthefestivalweren't picked simply at random. A.P.P.S. asked a panel of several area music columnists and band agents to list their five favorite bands from the state. The panel included Dick Hodges of M-80 Management, Ed MorganofBlackpark Management, Kevin Morgan of "The Charlotte Observer" and Godfrey Cheshire of "The Spectator." Hodges and Morgan were not allowed to vote for any bands they currently manage. That list was thentabulated and brought before the Club shows and Stage shows committees of A.P.P.S. After reading a number of press releases and listening to several tapes of bands, the committees voted on which bands to get. "The four bands playing in the festival are definitely four of the strongest bands musically in the area," said Maupin. "They're also some of the biggest in popularity as well." There were some bands who made it on the list, but who were not considered for one reason or another. The Chapel Hill band Dillon Fence made the list, but had played Legends recently. The Connells also made the list, but were excluded because of theirrecent success nationally. One unique aspect of the festival is that no one band has emphasis. "Billyclub Fest is not opening for Johnny Quest," explains McNaney, "each show is a double bill." Tickets for the Thursday night show (March 14)in Legends with Johnny Quest and Billyclub Fest are $5 for students in advance and $6 forguests. All tickets will be $6 at the door. For the show Saturday night (March 16) with the Popes and Eight or Nine Feet playing the Pub, tickets will be $4 for students and $5 for guests. No advance tickets will be sold for the Saturday show. "We hope that this festival will become a regular yearly thing, giving the students a chance to sample some of the talent growing in the area," said McNaney. "The music scene here in North Caro­ lina is once again starting to resemble a scene like Athens, Ga., which spawned dozens and dozens of bands a couple of years ago," said Maupin. "It's definitely becoming a musical hotbed for talent." If you arc interested in helping pick future bands that come to Appalachian, call the student programs office at 2623032.

In a way, it serves as m to hold the minds of deranged Though "Silence of the Lambs" has some gore, it isn't a blood and guts, slash'em-up flick. This is a serious film that infiltrates your senses and makes you aware of a reason for fear in real life. The Neil Simon play"God's Favorite," performed by the ASU department of theatre and dance, combined good acting and well defined sets. The play, performed in I.G. Greer Arena Theater Feb. 19-25, gave the audience a more personal un­ derstanding of the actors and their torment. This view allowed audiences to witness facial expressions up close. The focus of the movie is well-defined. "Lambs"centers on the dialogues between Lecter and Starling. The appearance of other characters was not essential to the plot. Foster and Hopkins could carry "Lambs," the movie, themselves, or a play featuring them alone. This realistic film could have been more believable had Jodie Foster made the lowering of her defense seem more diffi­ cult. Her fear of Lecter, though, is obvious in her trembling voice and half-smiles. It seems too easy for her to open fully to Lecter. The use of the name "Starling" is in contrast to Foster's character. Foster is slight and demure, like a small bird. Her toughness and tenacity are stark differ­ ences compared to her gentle bird's name. If a little gore makes yourday, then you will find this movie a treat. There are scenes of corpses who've had slabs of skin stripped from them and men with slashed faces. However, the most disgust­ ing sceneoccurred whenLecter's deranged mind is firstevident. Starling tells him she is awakened at night by the sound of spring lambs she heard being slaughtered, as achild. When she leaves him, he orders a second dinner: lamb chops extra rare. These may be disturbing scenes, and they demonstrate how sick both Dr. Lecter and Buffalo Bill are. the start, Lecter takes the upper •n his relations with Starling.

Belcher's portrayal was complete with excruciating facial expres­ sions and a loud voice. When watching him, I thought good old dad was sitting there giving that lecture on how "things were not always this easy." The play opened with a chaotic evening at home as Joe and his children Ben, play­ ed by Chet Longly, and Sarah, played by Angie Allen, raced around trying to find the burglar that broke into the house, set­ ting off the alarm. They were soon joined by Rose Ben­ jamin, played by Sheli Ridolph, and the oldest son, played by Andrew Lakin.

The Second Step, an eight-piece band out of New York City, played an excep­ tional mix of original musicwith an ethnofunk-rock and reggae sound. The band transcends classification with a musical feel that changes from song to song but is distinctly danceable. The Rockafellas, a well known band in Boone, introducedThe Second Step to the High Country when they played together Thursday night The reputation of the Rockafellas brought ina packed house for The Second Step to open to. Unfortunately, technical difficulties slowed the start of the perfor­ mance and cut short the band's time on stage. The Second Step played a full show Friday night, however, showcasing their musical ability and diversity to a crowd who justified the music in spirit but not in number. Everyone in the building was on the dance floor by the end of the show including waitpersons, bouncers and Mr. Sollecito himself. The foundation of The Second Step's music is based in the way all eight musi­ cians combine their individual talent and ability into a sound that can only be de­ scribed in terms of intensity.

Joe 'ssituation seems hopeless, but in the end of this domestic comedy he is able to obtain his salvation and save his son. Mady, the maid, was played by Lorena Lawrence, seen earlier this month inASU's talent search reciting famous excerpts from early African-American works. She was a joy to watch then, and in "God's Favorite she gave the audience in­ trigue and humor with hercynical quips. Donna Devereux, who teaches introduc­ tion to theatre, agreed saying, "the maid was wonderful and her timing was good." The story in the book of Job is cor­ rectly defined in "God's Favorite." The conflict between Satan and God and the testing of Job is the central plot of the two stories. In the Bible, three friends at­ tempt to persuade Job to renounce God; while inSimon's play, a messenger from God tries to persuade Joe to take an adver­ tisement out in the "New York Times" saying he had renounced God. The idea is the same, but Simon simply puts this plot into a theme to which modern audiences can easily relate. The setting of the play reveals to view­ ers that Joe lived comfortably with paint­ ings, jewels, an oriental rug and a burglar alarm—all of the modem luxuries."God's Favorite," as pa-formed by Appalachian students, was pure, satisfying entertain­ ment Elvis impersonator sings reggae Zepp (CPS)—"I was actually created by sole function is to bring Tortelvis wata but if you hear the music, you won't be aliens, and I was patterned and modeled and towels on stage.

But it was not enough as the Thundering Herd downed the Apps, 96-85. "They just started hitting the threepointers," ASU starting forward Ricky Nedd said. "Then the crowd got into the game (and) they made it like a sixth man." Attendance for the Southern Conference clash topped 6,561 at Marshall's Henderson Center. Folio wing the Vincent threes, JohnTaft and Andre Cunningham hit layups to put the Herd up by seven, 55 -48, which forced an ASU time out. The Mountaineers cut the Herd advan­ tage to four points three times in the en­ suing four minutes, but with 8:54 to go, Vincent sank his fourth three-point bomb of the evening to enlarge the bulge to 10, 71-61. Vincent hit five of nine three-point at­ tempts for the game, while he was five of five from the foul line. The Mountaineers cut thelead toseven, 87-80, with 1:46 remaining as Steve Spurlock canned a three-pointer of his own and Nedd knocked down a dunk. However, the Apps could come no closer, as Marshall went to a zone defense for much of the final stretch. "I thought Marshall was very active and very effective with their zone de­ fense," AS U Head CoachTom Apke said. "We did well against their man-to-man, but when they went to the zone, we didn't make many outside shots, didn't get a lot of rebounds, and were unable to get the ball inside as much as we would like." Taft launched a 27-footer at the buzzer to push the final margin to 11,96-85. The Mountaineers led the majority of the first half, with their advantage grow­ ing to as many as eight, 21-13, when Bruce Falkner popped a short jumper from the paint with 11:17 to go in the stanza. Marshall gained the lead as Eric Clay laid it in from the left side with 3:04 to play in the half. Tyrone Phillips then slammed down a dunk to put the Herd ahead by three, 36-33. Following buckets by Spurlock and Clay, ASU's Billy Ross canned a threepointer from the top of the key to knot the game, 38-38, as the two teams left the court for the intermission. Broderick Parker led ASU's first half of scoring, chipping in 13 in the 20-minute segment. Parker scored just three in the second half, however, finishing the game with 16. Tim Powers led the Mountaineers of­ fensively, scoring 17 and bringing down 10 rebounds. Powers also dished out seven assists to add to his totals. Taft the conference's leading scorer with a 273 points per game average, led all scorers with 26. 'Taft was Taft," Nedd said. "He showed all aspects of his game. He shot well, passed and rebounded. As usual, he was tough to stop." "When westarted concentrating onhim, being the player that he is, he started passing off," Spurlock said of Taft, who was playing in his final collegiate contest. Spurlock scorednine points and brought down five rebounds in 26 minutes of ac­ tion, this game being his second following an ankle injury. He said the ankle was "about 90 percent" but that it bothered him some in the contest "We didn't have all our weapons, with Spurlock still playing on half an ankle and Ed Ward coming off a bout with the flu," Apke said. Ward scored 12, hitting four of 11 threepoint attempts. Nedd swatted four blocks to go with his 11 points. Ross finished the game with nine. Behind Taft and Vincent, Cunningham added 14 and Tyrone Phillips netted 18 on the night From the bleachers ASU ski team places fourth in final meet of year . Appalachian Staff Reports ASU's Colleen McKenna captured the Mid-Atlantic championship ski race this past weekend in Seven Springs, Pa. McKenna, who beat her closest com­ petitor by over two seconds, qualified to go to the national ski championships in Mt. Bachelor, Ore. The Appalachian men's squad finished fourth overall in the event. Mike Baldwin finished sixth in the giant slalom and 12th in the slalom for ASU. Brent Wiley, Bill Wagenseller, Eric Rice and John Kivett also competed for Appa­ lachian. Baldwin, an economics major, won a Smith Corona word processor for being the skier with the highest grade point aver­ age. McKenna was theonly member of the ASU women's squad to compete in the event. She qualified by winning the Southeastern Conference championships in West Virginia two weeks ago. The event concluded the season for the Appalachian ski team. Lady Apps finish third in tourney The ASU Lady Mountaineer club soc­ cer teams competed in the Brevard Col­ lege IndoorSoccerToumament Feb. 1617. ASU's "Gold" team lost in the first round of the playoffs, while the "Black" team tied for third placein thetounament The "BUck" team began the tourna­ ment with a 9-0 win over the Skyland Rams. Melissa Gibson scored four goals for the Lady Apps, while Carson Satterfield added two and Missy Smith, Laura Dean Goodwin and Erica Freas each tallied one goal. The "Gold" team took their first match by forfeit over the Ashevillc Hotspurs, 1- 0. The "Black" team then played Brevard College, coming up on the short end of a 42 score. Gibson and Freas scored for the Lady Mountaineers. Colleen Aldridge scored the only goal for the "Gold" team as it dropped a 4-1 match with the St. Louis Express II, an all-star team from Missouri. The "Black" team gained a measure of revenge, how­ ever, by beating the St. Louis Express I team, 2-1. Freas and Gibson netted goals for the Lady Apps. On Sunday, the "Gold" team was dropped by the Coker College Lady Co­ bras by a 4-1 score, with Aldridge picking up the only score for the Lady Mountain­ eers. The"Black" team could do no better, losing to an Asheville club team 3-2, with Satterfield and Freas scoring. The preliminary round ended with the "Gold" team losing to the Lees-McRae Lady Bobcats, 7-0. In the first match of the playoff round, the "Black" team went up against LeesMcRae in a rematch of last year's champi­ onship game, won by LMC.

ASU claims third in tourney Thomas sparks Lady Mountaineers to two victories in Alaska By KURT C. WARD Appalachian Sports Editor The Lady Mountaineer basketball squad won two out of three games this weekend to take third place in the Northern Lights Invitational Tournament held at Anchor­ age, Alaska. "We played two of our best games and our worst game of the year," ASU Head Coach Linda Robinson said. "We knew going into the tournament that we would have a chance to win it; but we also knew that the field was so strong that we could leave without a single win. 'To come out with two wins against this competition says a lot." Junior forward Shannon Thomas led the Lady Apps with a three-game total of 77 points, including a career high 44 in the Mountaineer's first-round 92-89 victory over New Mexico State. Thomas also brought down 33 rebounds in the three cage contests and washonored as amember of the all-tournament team.

By JOSEPH RAYLE Appalachian Staff Writer Despite repeated assurances from the folks who brought you "No NewTaxes,"there isstill quite abit of uneasiness on the part of a lot of draft-age men who face the possibility of being shipped off to the exotic parts of the world for the sole purpose of blowing holes in other people's bodies and houses. There is, in fact, cause for concern. There has been some testimony before the Armed Service Committee from people who excel at engineering massacres and turning young men intohomicidal maniacs. An extensive conflict, they say, will necessitate there- institutionof the selective service to meet the demand for bodies that most senseless slaughters create. "Limits of human endur­ ance" is a term often thrown around by these people who are suggesting that it will be necessary to crank up the draft. Actually, it probably isn't unrealistic tobelieve that people don't have much tolerance for guns wounds. Even if we win, it will be necessary for the U.S. to occupy the region for some time. If the experiences of the British, French, Israelis, Greeks, Romans, etc, are any indication, the Arabs arepretty hardon occupation forces. A U.S. "peacekeeping" force would have to deal with a fairly constant string of terrorist attacks, much as the Israelis have in the occupied West Bank, Gaza Strip and southern Lebanon. Such a situation will require a fairly high rotation rate, as well as a pretty massive occupation force. These factors, combined with about 40 percent de­ crease in recruitment for the armed forces since August, strongly suggest that the armed forces are going to have to work out a new way of getting people, according to Bill Wilson, a local draft counselor who has been active in counseling draftees andmilitary conscientious object­ ors since the Vietnam War. Wilson, a member of the Mountain Peace Coalition, points out that recently the federal government has filled vacancies in the selective service systems all of the way down to the local level. When asked how long he thought that it will be before the selective service is activated, he replied, "one month." While this timetable may be debatable, it would be extremely foolish for anyone who is eligible for the draft to discount this possibility. It is worth pointing out that there has been very little in the way of information about this in our media. The mainstream media has evidently considered the matter closed after the Bush ad­ ministration's emphaticrejection of the idea. They didn't say much about Iraq and Kuwait until the invasion, despite the fact that there wasevidence of what was going on long before it actually happened. What happens if Congress re-activates selective service? Will George Bush veto it? There are several exemptions that may keep some people out of the draft. You may qualify for a deferment if your induction into the military would cause a great deal of hardship on your family or dependents. Physical, mental or moral problems could keep you out. Moral problems deal with things like a police record. Another possible deferment is homosexuality. "Homosexuality," according to military regulations, "is incompatible with military service." (Misrepresenting yourself as a homo­ sexual is against federal law). Enrollment in divinity school, being a surviving son of a family that has lost members to a conflict and some positions in public offices are other things that could keepyouout of military It should be pointed out that you have to qualify for these things. The military isn't in the habit of tracking people down to give them deferments. They're in the business of filling their positions (or body bags). The most common option for people who do not want to participate in a war is conscientious objector status. Everyone who is planning on filing for CO status if drafted should be getting ready now.Once you have been drafted, you have 10 days to get everything you need together in order to file for a CO status. This isn't much time, given the things that you need to do. There are actually two different kinds of CO status: The 1 -0 status is for people who are opposed to any kind of assignment that supports military activities. These people get civilian service. The 1-A-O classification is for people who can serve as a soldier in a non-combat role. Once you decide to seek CO status, it is necessary to get letters of support and other information to help you make your case for CO status. This is where a draft counselor comes in. He can tell you what you need to do, where to find resources to help and what kinds of ques­ tions you can expect to face. If you are prepared now, you are far more likely to be successful in obtaining CO status should the need arise. It should be pointed out that it is possible for people who are in the military now to qualify for CO status. All, you have to do is contact the Mountain Peace Coalition. They will be happy to put you in touch with the right people. i I encourage everyone to stop supporting violence as a means of resolving conflicts. Fighting fire with fire will only open the gates of Hell for all of us. Draft counselor Bill Wilson may be contacted at 963- • 5317.

His stance was re­ laxed and casual. He even had his hand in his pocket for much of the lecture. But when R alph Nader steppedoffthestagein Farthing Auditorium on Tuesday night, he had won the respect and support of everyone in the audience. Using incriminating facts about our lifestyles, he opened our eyes once again to the ridiculous reality in which we live. The main thrust of his speech, however, was to get people involved. The bulging lines of people pushing to sign Nader's petition sheets after his rally reflected the effectiveness of his speech. Something struck a chord in the audience's heart andconscience.Someone finally acknowledged that they could make a difference. I guess we were just waiting to hear it from someone impor­ tant Nader brought the point home in clas­ sic style. America has problems. Ameri­ cans must solve the problems. We are Americans. Let's get busy. One thing, however, that binds many potential leaders of communities, uni­ versities and countries is fear of being a leader. Leaders are criticized. Leaders must work hard. Leaders get hate mail and derogatory letters to the editor. I'll let someone else do the job. The fear of leading is smothering people in America today. We've become sheep, led to the future by the media and selfish politi­ cians. Wishing things will get better won't improve anything. The latest movement in modem lead­ ership is the isolating of the individual and the exalting of the group. Many pro­ fessionals believe the only way to be valu­ able tosociety is tojoin a group. Individu­ als who stand for something are not re­ spected. The group craze certainly re­ flects today'ssociety. Look at classes when a teacher asks for a show of hands onsome issue, especially one political in nature. Half-raised hands may go up, but usually there will be a moment when no one raises his hand. If more than half of the class raises their hands, then the rest will join them. This shows students are more con­ scious of "sticking-out" than their per­ sonal views on issues. The individuals and not the groups will be the leaders of the future. Nader quoted a student who asked Margaret Mead a question. "Ms. Mead, can a few people make a difference?" she asked. Mead smiled and replied, "Of course, they're the only ones who do." Thomas Edison, Benjamin Franklin, Jose Marti, Margaret Thatcher, General McArthur, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr. and the list continues. No man or woman is an island, but also, no leader is a hemmed-in follower. The more concerned you are about how people view you, the less likely you will be to make a difference. Plenty of work needs to be done here at f ASU. What is ASU but a group of stu- * dents and faculty members? The build-1 ings don't make ASU. We do. Therefore,' the mantle of responsibility has been } passed on to us to make ASU a great } university.

Letters defend " Students for America" Constable's article causes non-members of "Students" to defend some basic flaws Free enterprise is not a great "evil" To the Editor: I'm not the kind of person who writes letters to papers, but after reading Courtenay Constable's rebuke of Students for America, I feel compelled to respond. Constable states that Judeo-Christian tradition is a cause of environmental destruction. I think she is referring to Genesis 1:28, "Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground" (NTV). This verse tells us to rule over, not destroy. True, a ruler has dominion, but a ruier also has responsi­ bility. Blaming some of the present-day environmental destruction on certain people who claim to be Judeo-Christians might be correct, but blaming it on Judeo-Christian tradition as a whole is in error. Constable also characterizes the free enterprise system as "basically evil." Where did this come from? It is my understanding that free enterprise means people are free to choose to go into business for themselves. Is this evil? If it is, I need to make a telephone call to my father and urge him to shut down his small business. I'd hate to see him engaged in "evil." One of the basic freedoms our forefathers fought for was economic freedom. Also, I don't see the dichotomy between free enterprise and democracy. Free enterprise is a form of economics, democracy is a form of politics. The two can—and most often do—coexist. I'd also like to address the issue of liberal vs. conservative. Why can't people simply make up their mind on certain issues and avoid tags? My dictionary defines one who is liberal as: "one who is open-minded or not strict in the observance of orthodox, traditional or established forms OT ways." However, it has been my experience that most people who call themselves liberals are definitely not open-minded. For the most part, they have an agenda every bit as rigid as conservatives. Is this liberalism in the true sense? I don't think so. Finally, I'd just like to say I'm not a member of Students for America, and I really don't know anything about the organization. I did see their table in the student union, and no one "forced" his views on me. I also know Jeff Cox, and the term "dictator" certainly does not apply. James E. Routh ASU Box 17603 Parking punishment too hard for crime To the Editor The Boone apartment community is experiencing a crunch in the number of parking spaces available to tenants. To relieve this problem and to help enforce it, many areas use a parking service to monitor vehicles parked in their lots. The methods of enforcement, however, ate questionable. P.S J. properties uses the APS parking service. When a vehicle does not "properly display" their parking sticker, or parks in an unauthorized but unmarked space, the vehicle is immo­ bilized. The fee for release starts at $30 and increases to $60 in 24 hours time. How does an individual obtain funds when no transportation is available? As a full-time college student with a fulltime job who depends on transportation to go to work, what position does this present? The idea of parking enforcement is just and fair. The methods of enforce­ ment, however, are in serious question and need to be changed or altered. Is immobilization the only way to deter parking violators? Or is it materialistic individuals operating without controls and guidelines who abuse the system causing the problem? Sincerely, Rus A. Wieland ASU Box 6106 See LETTERS page 8 �8.

B Recording to Kimberly Cox, Phi Mu trident, the fraternity donated $ 1,500 to , United Way campaign this year. Cox Phi Mu hopes their donation will lenge other student organizations to ribute. United Way raises funds to help meet local health and human-care needs. There are 75 to 80 United Way organizations across the state of North Carolina. Ac­ cording to Tom Lawson, campus coordi­ nator of the United Way, approximately 95 percent of the money United Way raises stays within the Boone community. Some of the organizations helped by United Way include the Hospitality House, OASIS, Watauga County Hunger Coali­ tion and the Watauga Youth Network, just to name a few of about 20 or so programs. United Way ensures all groups receiving funds are non-profit, tax-exempt charities governed by volunteers. Recipients must also have a piolicy of non-discrimina­ tion. "This is the second year we have made a conscious effort to get students involved in the United Way campaign," said Lawson. "We are hoping to get more organizations involved and to become a priority for donations." Students have raised approximately $2,200 so far this year, says Lawson. Several groups have contributed to this amount including Kappa Delta,Tau Kappa Epsilon, Phi Mu, Alpha Tau Omega, Delta Chi, and the American Marketing Asso­ ciation. Watauga County had a goal to raise $ 125,000 for the year. Due to the efforts of the many volunteers and donors, the goal was met for the first time in history with $128,000 being raised, says Lawson. The United Way will be able to give the amounts they have committed to the various organizations in need. According to Cox, Phi Mu raised their money to donate by working in the book­ !ourt hears ;even cases The United Way logo is an outstretched, helping hand, with the rainbow above and a symbol for humanity within.

By THOMAS RIGGINS Appalachian News Editor • ' -* .:;a- x;;A mm mm Wm %• : W \£ •/ ill = Operation Desert Storm's ground as­ sault launched a mas­ sive invasion along a 300-mile front into Iraq and Kuwait Sun­ day, pushing 50 miles into Iraq and within sight of Kuwait City. Military officials are calling the ground assault the largest invasion since World War II. Close to 200,000 American, Brit­ ish, Saudi Arabian, French, Kuwaiti and other troops broke through Iraqi defenses as the 30th anniversary of Kuwaiti inde­ pendence dawned Monday. Iraqi resistance has been weak, and casualties have been light for allied troops. By early Monday nearly 10,000 Iraqi POW's had been taken. Eleven U.S. deaths were reported in the opening stages of the ground assault, ac­ cording to military officials. Pentagon officials are worried the mass surrenders could bog down allied ad­ vances. However, the ground campaign was going so well by midaftemoon Sunday. Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, commander of Operation Desert Storm, moved the schedule up by almost half a day, accord­ ing to Pentagon sources. 'm... According to military sources, the ground assault occurred in two waves combined withamphibious landingsalong Kuwait's coast. The first wave began at 8 p.m. EST Sunday. The ground war is going so well, many believe the war could end soon. "I look for AppUchUn Photo by Randall Retain* it to be over well within two weeks, given PARKWAY ATTRACTS STUDENTS: ASU graduate student Joe Gonzalez and sophomore Cliristie Parker are enjoying a the apparent rag-tag condition of most of beautiful day on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

It's hard to believe last weekend Boone was blanketed in snow. defense Secretary Lawrence Korb. Even so. Defense Secretary Dick Cheney said on "Face the Nation" Sun­ day, "we should not make any assump­ tions yet about how quickly we can wrap it up." Battles ahead may prove to be more difficult for the allies. So far allied forces have not encountered chemical weapons or Iraq's famed Republican Guard. The U.S. 82nd Airborne is expected to meet the bulk of the guard today, according to "U.S.A. Today." "The further we move, the harder the fight will become," said Marine Ll. Gen. Walt Boomer. In a radio speech Sunday, Saddam Hussein praised his troops and encour­ aged them to resist now that the "mother of battles has begun. This is your day, O heroes of Iraq, to take revenge." Defense and diplomatic officials were quoted in "The Charlotte Observer" say­ ing allied forces hope to hold onto apiece of Iraqi territory after the Persian Gulf War is over, to use as a bargaining chip with the nation's leaders. The allies could wind up holding 10 percent of Iraq. The military goal is to surround and seal off Iraqi forces in Ku­ wait and southern Iraq.Cheney explained, "We have no desire to hold territory in Iraq," but other U.S. military officials said his comments do not rule out a temporary U.S. presence there. Rep. Les Aspin, D-Wis., chairperson of the House Armed Services Commit­ tee, said allied troops may end up "taking all of Iraq south of Basra." Newsweek reported Sunday that 62 percent of Americans who answered a poll before the ground war began said they wanted U.S.-led forces to humiliate the Iraqi president.

Although housing is only guaranteed for freshmen and sophomores, Dunnigan said, "This (addition of greek housing) will have no direct effect on juniors or hous ing seniors." Cone Hall was selected because it has the same basic design as Cannon Hall, Dunnigan said. "We thought it was best suited to expand since it was very similar." However, location was also an impor­ tant consideration. "It (Cone) was in another (building) cluster, which gave us a programming advantage. We thought that it would be better suited to have two clusters with greek housing instead of just one," Dunnigan said. Dunnigan noted that less than five percent of the halls are greek, and that "I don't see us expanding beyond Cone and Cannon. We will have some room for expansion in those two buildings." "We think that it is very beneficial for greeks to be housed on campus. We have been very pleased by the cooperation we receive by theseorganizations,"Dunnigan said. See GREEKS page 2 By TRACEY COFFRON Appalachian Staff Writer Acquired Immune Deficiency Syn­ drome, more commonly known as AIDS, is an epidemic which is sweeping the nation at alarming rates and one which does not discriminate against college campuses. AIDS is caused by human immunodefi­ ciency virus (HIV). However, being HIV positive is not the same as having AIDS. HIV is a virus that attacks a group of white blood cells, which control the im­ mune system. The cells of the nervous system, colon and blood vessels are also at risk. The college-aged adult population is the group at highest risk for contracting the virus which triggers AIDS. They are the most sexually active, and they practice the most unsafe sex, according to Dr. Pat Geiger, a physician with ASU Health Ser­ vices. One of the biggest problems surround­ ing AIDS is that most people who are infected seem healthy and may not realize they are HIV carriers. Due to their igno­ rance, the disease has the potential to spread rapidly. According to a study released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and the American College Health Association, as campus.

U We probably have about 20-25 students here (at Appalachian) that are HIV positive. 99 you can at least ensure your future, and the future of those you are in contact with, by taking the necessary precautions. There is also a growing opposition to homosexual men from the heterosexual community. Almost 20 percent of homo­ sexual men report having been assaulted due to their sexual preferences at least once. AIDS will continue to affect sexual attitudes and behavior and has currently been a factor. Declining rates of sexually transmitted diseases indicate that promis­ cuous sexual behavior has decreased. This indicates that singles who have been sexually active in the past may now expect to have a longer period of ac­ quaintance before initiating in sexual contact. Health educators explain the small number of condom purchases on college campuses by saying that AIDS is not clear enough for the average college student because thedisease usually strikes slightly older adults. With spring break on the horizon, it's suprising to note that last year condom manufactures at Daytona reported thatonly 50 percent of students actually used condoms and another 28 percent were doing nothing to prevent AIDS.

Smoke-free campuses gaining gr0„ (CPS)—Drives tomake U.S. campuses absolutely smoke-free picked up speed in recent weeks as one state mulled forcing its campuses to stop investing in tobacco companies and another college banned smoking. As of Feb. 1, students could no longer use—or even buy—tobacco products on the University of Pittsburgh campus. Two weeks earlier, California's top health official urged the state's biggest campuses to sell off their investments in tobacco companies. In his Jan. 15 letter to Stanford Uni­ versity and to the universities of Califor­ nia andSouthern California, state Health Services Department Director Dr. Ken­ neth Kizer said it made no sense for them to invest in tobacco companies while the state spends $150 million on an antismoking campaign. The profits from the investments help fund a variety of the schools' programs. During the 1980s, anti-apartheid ac­ tivists succeeded in getting many cam­ pus money managers to sell off stocks. no matter how profitable they might be, in companies that did business in segregationist South Africa. The same tactic now is being applied to smoking. "We shouldnot be profiting from tobacco addiction," maintained Brad Krevor, executive director of the Bostonbased Tobacco Divestment Project. "How can we solve the problem if we require it to continue to make money?" Krevor asked. In fact, money managers have a legal obligation—called a "fiduciary responsi- Continued from page 1 Kristen Kostelnik, vice president judi­ cial for the Panhellenic Council, said that there was a need for greek housing, "be­ cause the greeks have a community spirit, and community-based organizations like to cohabitate together." Citing the addition of thenew fraternity Alpha Tau Omega and the new sorority Alpha Phi, Kostelnik said that these orga- nizations created a definite need for more greek housing. "The Panhellenic Council and the IFC hope that this will convey to the admin­ istration the need for a greek community in the future," Kostelnik said. She added that more greek organiza­ tions will be added fall 1991, and that if the university would allow greek offcampus housing, it would free up resi­ dence hall space.

The war in the Middle East has touched every­ one on campus in one way or another. Students affected by the war are invited to attend a counsel­ ing group led by Counseling Center Director Dr. Donald Sanz in thecounseling center of the Student Support Building every Tuesday night at 5 p.m. Maria's case is, of course, a hypothetical situa­ tion, but the problems are very real. Sanz says, "It takes courage to admit that you need to talk to someone and to come to the group. People don't come because they feel they may worry more if they come to talk about it." The above case is one he outlined as something that could very well happen to a person if they keep their emotions bottled up inside. "We don't want people to wait until it starts interfering with func­ tioning in an every day routine. The group is supposed to act as a preventive measure as well as an emotional outlet." The group started in December when people in the college and around town were getting nervous. There was one meeting before classes were over that everyone was invited to attend. "There were more people there at the first meeting that came to help rather than needed help," Sanz said. The group started this semester as a support group that would be able to assist any student who asked for help. The average attendance of the group is about five people. While most of the people who come are students, some are from the community also. Sanz says, "There are different people who come each time, but then there are also the same people who show up every other week. One young man came to the scheduled Tuesday night group and left for training the next day." These groups are starting up in many different schools and communities now. The groups will become more common now that a gTound war has been initiated. There's a workshop for counselors next month to train them on how to deal with war time issues people are facing. Sanz offers this advice, "Hurting yourself and your life is not going to help your loved ones, wherever they are. It usually helps to share your feelings with people who areexperiencing some of the same anxieties."It seems the best action wecan take is to help each other as one country of con­ cerned friends through this crisis.

Newport Program gives P.E. credit in sailing By WILLIAM PURCELL Appalachian Staff Writer How does sailing on one of the world's most famous bays for five weeks of sun, sails and sea sound for summer school? Sounds good? Then check out the Newport Summer Program. Through the department of history, the program offers not only sailing but an entire summer travel and study experience in New England. Newport, R.I. and the Narragansett Bay provide the perfect backdrop for students as they learn sailing basics from Karen Fletcher, the former sailing coach at the University of Rhode Island. "The scenery is overwhelming; to see all the yachts and the huge tankers out on the bay,"said Jill Sparks, a former participant of the program. "Hav­ ing no prior sailing experience, I was hesitant about being at the helm. The hands-on experience really allowed you to apply what you learned in the classroom to areal life situation. The sailing course is unlike any P.E. class I have ever taken before." Course work focuses on teaching students to become self-sufficient, safety-conscious sailors. Weather, safety maneuvers, rules of the road and capsize recovery are topics covered through lecntres and on-the-water experience. Students leant knots and lines used in rigging and storing a boat, Narragansett Bay is deep and sheltered with a as well as skills for mooring, launching, docking prevailing wind for excellent sailing conditions and maneuvering a year-round.

Then I actually got to sail out there, " said Tracy Carrier. "It was relaxing, thrilling and the views were breathtaking. You went through your whole range of emotions out on the water. The power of standing at the helm was a great feeling." Carrier added, "The bonds you made with your sailing partners were strong. The pressure of working as a team to sail forced you to delegate responsibility and get things done." The Newport Summer Program is an annual cooperative educational venture between ASU and Salve Regina College from May 25 to June 30.The Newport Summer Program, now entering its tenth year, offers students classes concentrating on sail­ ing, colonial history, architecture and New En­ gland writers. Trips related to students' particular fields of study include Boston, Salem, Plymouth, Providence and New Bedford. Fiveweeksofclasses are taught by a combination of faculty from both Appalachian and Salve Regina. Room and board, travel and tuition are included in the costs of the trip.

ACT and ASC plan service trip for spring break By SHANNON SPARKS Appalachian Staff Writer This spring break, while most students are on the beach slicking on suntan oil and throwing frisbees, members of Appalachian Community Together and Active Students for the Community will be in New Orleans and thereabouts sweating from hard labor, building houses, and going into the streets to work with homeless, hungry, abused and disabled children and adults. ACT and ASC members will take part in an "alternative spring break," a four-day conference in which they will participate in workshops, meet with other regional campus community service organizations and participate in hands-on service projects in New Orleans. The conference will be sponsored by the Cam­ pus Outreach Opportunity League. The organization was started six years ago by Harvard graduate Wayne Meisel after he marched from Maine to Washington, D.C. to find out what the people of his generationcared about. He found that not only did they care about homelessness, illiteracy and the environment, they wanted to do something about them. Now COOL is strong, growing and sponsoring national conferences such as the one in New Orleans, which hopes to draw over 2,000 students and administrators. The conference will be hosted by the eight campuses in the New Orleans Coalition: Delgato, Dillard, Holy Cross, Loyola, SUNO, Tulane, UNO Students pay for damages By TAMMY PARKS Appalachian Staff Writer Collective damage costs forresidence halls have gone up in recent years. Most students, however, think it is unfair to pay for damages caused by other people. "Why punish the innocent?" asked one angry resident. "Everyone is responsible for their own room. In a community setting, the group is responsible," said Director of Residence Facilities Doug Canipe. Collective assessment is based on actual cost by Vendor. Examples of such damages are a window which was broken on Jan 22 and costs S49.22 to replace and a massive beer spill in a lobby on Jan 23 which cost the residence hall $32.50 to clean. The cost is divided by all the people on the hall involved. "Our goal is not to punish students. It is to keep record of the incident so we can find the person responsible," Canipe said. Last semester there were approximately 180 incidents relating to housekeeping concerns total­ ing $3,690.45. These damages include such things as food stains on walls, beverage stains on walls and floors and undisposed vomit The average cost per resident is 520.51 per incident Elevator repairs, as a result of vandalism, ac­ count for $1,276.94 in assessments with nine oc­ currences, each averaging $141.89. Microwave oven repairs totalled $1,131.87 and averaged 5113.19. Most microwave damages occur when door hinges break as a result of being slammed. The washer/dryer report of vandalism for the month of January 1991 was 50 coin-slot jams. "Our objective in making these surveys is to see where the mostdamage is being reported. With the help of the resident director and residential assis­ tants, we can find out what the problems are by talking to the students," Canipe said. According to the national average, male resi­ dence halls have higher damage totals than female halls. Damages are also high in coed and freshman halls. The Office of Residence Facilities is planning building upgrading for the future. East Hall is See DAMAGES page 4 and Xavier. Most activities will take place at Xavier University and Tulane campuses. As well as attending workshops and participating in projects, students will attend an Opportunities Fair, at which local, state,national and international organizations will have information, books, T-shirts and posters to display and sell. They will also attend the Community Service Arts Festival which will dis­ play the works of talented artists, actors, photographers, musicians and poets. Participating groups may include their own work in the festival. After the hard work on Friday, March 8, and Saturday, March9, a few entertaining concerts will take place. On Friday, local jazz artists will hold a mini-jazz fest, complete with Southern cooking and a mellow atmosphere. Saturday is the big concert night with a "Listen To The Words 1991" benefit concert, featuring nationally known artists, taking place. At a past conference, the band 10,000 Maniacs performed. As always, the performers are a surprise and will only be discovered upon per­ formance time. In response to the number of organizations that will attend the conference and who are working every day on campuses across the country, faculty advisor to ACT, Jill Morton, said, "It's an amazing network, nationally and locally. You'd be amazed at what's happening." The difference between the twenty-something generations of the 60's and the present, Morton observes, is that today people show their activism by volunteering. "Students today are getting involvedbecause of theirpersonal convictions, notjust because it's the 'thing to do'," said Morton.

The lobby and vending area is expected to be finished in early April. Residence Life is also in the process of reviewing the elevators in all the residence halls. They are proposing addmg another elevator to Doughton Hall. It will be voted on at the next board of trustees meeting on March 12, 1991. Another proposal is the building of a common lobby between Gardner and Coltrane halls. Window replacements are being considered for these two residence halls. Newland Hall, which is the oldest residence hall on campus, built in 1939, will undergo a study to see what repairs need to be done. Justice Hall will undergo a bathroom remodeling. I encourage all students to stop by our office if they have a problem or questions about anything," Canipe said.

The Lady Apps dominated the field, totaling 25 all-conference performances from 16 different athletes and claiming the title with 148 points to second place Western Carolina's 81 points. "It was an outstanding team effort," ASU Head Coach John Weaver said following the meet. "We had some high quality performances and many personal and season's bests realized. Our depth is providing the points to win, but the conference is getting stronger every year. The points are begin­ ning to spread out which makes for an exciting meet to watch and that makes the victory that much more rewarding."

THE APPALACHIAN TUESDAY, February 26,1991 Appalachian State muscled its way to an 83-70 Southern Conference victory over the Keydets of Virginia Military Saturday in Lexington, Va. The more physical, stronger Mountaineers had their way against the Keydets and used 21 offen­ sive rebounds to offset the limited playing time of starters Ed Ward and Steve Spurlock. Spurlock, who-had missed two straight games with an ankle injury before returning to the lineup Saturday, scored five points in 23 minutes of playing time. Meanwhile Ward played despite a recent bout with the flu, getting 19 minutes of action and scoring 10 points. Despite the limited actionof Spurlockand Ward, ASU Head Coach Tom Apke pointed to their play as important to the Appalachian win. "Ed Ward could only play two or three minutes at a time, but his play was real inspirational to the team because he was out there playing hard despite being under the weather," Apke said. "Spurlock, whose numbers weren't that great, was also impor­ tant for us because we felt like he got back and played better as the game went along. Both of those guys by just being out on the court, helped us." Sophomore guard Billy Ross led the Mountain­ eers in scoring with 20 points, while junior forward Broderick Parker was a force inside with 18. ASU junior center Ttm Powers added 12 points, a teamhigh four assists, and a game-high 18 rebounds. Freshman forward Ricky Nedd chipped in nine points. "I thought there were a couple of keys to the game," Apke said. "First of all, we thought we really had to rebound well. Tim Powers and Ricky Nedd did an excellent job. We dominated the Apptueniit Photo By Rom J action boards. We also distributed the ball well. We got LEADING SCORER: ASU sophomore Billy Ross led the Mountaineers with 20 points Saturday as the easy shots when we had to and we had a lot of Apps defeated the Keydets of Virginia Military, 83-70. balance." The Mountaineers held a decisive 59-30 edge in rebounds for the game. ASU led the whole way, and a three-pointer by Ross at the end of the first half sent the Mountain­ eers into the locker room with a nine-point lead, 41-32. VMI made several runs at Appalachian in the second half, and the Keydets had their best chance to catch the Mountaineers with 10 minutes left and ASU ahead by just two points, 55-53. Appalachian then responded with a run of their own, scoring seven unanswered points to push the lead back to nine at 62-53 and put the game out of reach. "I thought we reallyplayed well defensively and rebounded well in the first half," Apke said. "They made a couple of runs in the second half, but I thought we controlled most of the game. Most of our problems came when we made careless mis­ takes against their press." The victory moved ASU's record to 14-12overall and 7-6 in the conference and secured them a fourth-place finish in the Southern Conference regular-season race. The fourth-place finish means the Mountaineers will most likely play VMI again in the first round of the Southern Conference Tournament this Friday in Asheville. As of Sunday night however, Apke was not interested in that at all. Instead, Apke was thinking about all the ASU injuries and how to stop Marshall's high-scoring senior John Taft, whom the Mountaineers faced last night. "I really feel like Murphy's Law," Apke said. "I think Murphy's Law is the theme to this year. We've had more key players miss more minutes than any other season in my career. Now tomorrow night (Monday) we have to play against John Taft. Taft scored 43 points Saturday against East Ten­ nessee State and he could go for 60 against us in the last-ever game at Marshall."

The Mountaineers totaled nine all-conference performances from 11 different athletes to tally 104points, while Virginia Militaryoutscored ASU by 53 points to win the title with 157. "It was a very diverse experience," ASU Head Coach A1 Fereshetian said. "Some of the kids were outstanding and you couldn't ask for more; how­ ever, some didn't realize how important this meet was to some of the team and they didn't try with the effort really needed to prevail. We are going to have to come together as a team in order to be successful." Senior co-captain Frank Allen led the Apps, earning the title Most Valuable Athlete of the meet as he captured the 200-meter dash, clocking a 21.60 to edge the 1989 record of 21.65 set by Virginia Military's Greg Hatchett. Allen was also an individual winner in the 55 meter dash with a time of 6.40 and in the first place finishing mile relay team composed of Allen, Eric Joe, Allen Brooks and Alex Herring. The group ASU effort clocked a time of 3:17.90. Kedrick Ford, John Fullen, Eric Roberts, Linell Johnson and Brooks provided depth for the Apps in the meet. Ford clocked a 7.62 in the 55-meter hurdles to finish second while Fullen captured second in the triple jump and high jump withmarks of 6' 9 1/2" and 48' 1 3/4" respectively.

The Thundering Herd, who trailed 84-80 with 5:07 to play in regulation, went on a 10-0 run to take a 90-84 lead with 2:31 to play. Guard Brett Vincent nailed two three-point shots during the stretch. ETSU forced the game into overtime when Alvin West, who had missed his first 10 three- point bombs of the evening, connected on a trifector at the end of regulation to knot the score at 95-95. Marshall, which trailed 51-37 at halftime, outscored the Bucs 12-8 in the extra session to capture the 107-103 victory. The Buccaneers shot 14 for 46 from three-point range on the night and were out-rebounded by the Herd 56-42. Taft, whose number 22 jersey was retired in a ceremony before the game, grabbed a career-best 13 rebounds. Harold Simmons scored 19 points for Marshall, whileTyrone Phillips scored 16points and hauled down 12 boards. Vincent finished with 15 points and Eric Clay added 13. ETSU placed six players in double figures. Keith "Mister" Jennings led the Bucs with 37 points and 10 assists, while Calvin Talford scored 15 points and grabbed eight rebounds.

Fereshetian was particularly impressed with the efforts of Brooks and Johnson. Brooks took second in the 400-meter run with a 48.77 and was later knocked out of competition in the 800-meter run, a race he was favored to win. Brooks then anchored the mile relay and clocked the fastest split. "Brooks wasoverwhelmingly disappointed when he was knocked out of the 800," Fereshetian said. "His maturityreally showed whenheran the fastest split on the mile relay, finishing up the meet with a ray of hope and optimism." Brooks was also a member of the two mile relay, which finished second at 7:47.18 with the help of Alan Whicker, Lemuel Anderson and James Griggs. Johnson, a junior, who was hospitalized for two weeks at the end of last fall because of back spasms, competed in the meet after limited training and upped his personal best mark in the long jump by 10 inches to finish fourth at 23' 10" and post fourth place in ASU indoor records.. "Linell (Johnson) was extremely disappointed because he received a lower place and his desire to perform showed a mark of true competition," Fereshetian said. Fereshetian said that he plans to take Brooks, Allen, Johnson and Ford to the Last Chance Meet, as each will hope toqualify for the NCAA Division I meet.

By DAVID BAUMAN Appalachian Commentary Editor IDS: The 's still on the loose Millions of Americans are becoming aware that AIDS is no longer what once termed the "homosexual, drug addicts' disease." It can happen to ne—and has. Students should take every precaution to protect them-Kes—even if it means abstaining from sex. Many are still trying to deny that AIDS affects the heterosexual commu-y Those who believe this are living dangerously. No one is safe from the -«se and the research and statistics about AIDS are alarming. They are showing that one out of every 500 students carry the HIV virus. That is approximately 22 students on the ASU campus alone who carry the disease and may not know it. Since the AIDS epidemic doesn't seem to make the front pages anymore, liege students need to remember that the disease is still out there and is as ngerous as it always was. College students should remember to take Kautions. If you choose to have sex, wear a condom, ask questions, protect yourself. ASU residence halls have condom machines in the public restrooms in thelobbies. Don't be afraid or embarrassed to buy one. That two minute trip could save your life. The ASU infirmary also hands out free condoms to any NSU student—ask for one. jMk at your habits and patterns of behavior. Make the necessary changes > insure your physical wfjl being. Don't be afraid to change with the times, t's no longer safe to have casual sex—these changes could mean the iifference between life and death. Talk to your partner about AIDS and what precautions you need to take. If on are mature enough to sleep with him or her, you are mature enough to talk > himor her about this disease. Taking five minutes to discuss this in a setting "lere youboth are comfortable isnot only smart, it's one of the most effective iys to prevent the disease. If you feel you are at risk, make an appointment at your local health clinic lask about AIDS prevention. Call the infirmary and ask to speak with a lor—ask questions. Just get the factsbefore you make decisions that could ®ge your life forever. ^IDS isa serious subject that should not be ignored. The more students that <about AIDS, participate in safe sex and get the facts—that's one step ser to preventing the spread of the disease. Before you do something that u'll regret—think twice. I I "We're here, we're queer, get used to it," touts the banner defiantly held by marchers in the June 24 Gay Pride Parade in New York City. The New Gays are out of the closet and on the street, and the look and attitude is different. The new gay and lesbian movement has talked about a manifesto which states, "I hate straights. Breed­ ers, procreators—that's you, heteros." They want the heteros out of their faces. What is the overall purpose of the gay militancy groups? Michelangelo Signorili, feature editor of "OutWeek" magazine, a homosexual publication, told "Insight,""What we're saying is: we don't want to be left alone. We want to shove ourselves in your face. If we have to see you kissing on the screen, you have to see us. After a while, you'll say it's no big deal." While this is the extreme side of thehomosexual group, it has significantly added to the "normalization"of gays and lesbians in our society. Homosexuals want to be classified as a protected minority and receive "recognition." Some people, how­ ever, don't think sexual orientation should be used to classify minorities. As Peter Hamill stated in "Esquire," he is tired of classifying people by what they do in their bedrooms. Several other tools of rhetoric are used in the gay and lesbian awareness movemenL By calling people who don't agree with them"uneducated," "homophobic" and "unenlightened" they place those who disagree with their views in the position of backwards, stupid, frightened people whohaven't"caught the wave."These playground ploys of name calling should not be believed. Saying someone is "uneducated" because he doesn't accept your views is juvenile. Must a person accept and tolerate everything thrown at him or her in order to be "educated?"Today's university and high school students pride themselves on accepting anyone. Live and let live, and only judge a person by that other person's standards. This position may seem laudable to some, but it turns out to be spineless relativism. It will be a sad day in this nation when the criteria for being an educated, enlightened person will include the acceptance of a spinelessly tolerant attitude toward is­ sues. Holding the view that homosexuality is wrong is as valid as the view that homosexuality is right. Thought control and academic intimidation have caused many to abandon the analysis of right and wrong in the context of homosexuality, onboth sides of the issue. Unfortunately, violence has come to the fore as the way to solve these disputes. The Schwarzenegger mentality of forcingone's v iews on others has replaced the open forum of analyzing both sides of the story. As more homosexual activists present their way of viewing the world, one should not be intimidated by their rhetoric. Name calling, violence and smear campaigns only restrict freedom of speech and thought on this issue. Heterosexuals must also refrain from violence and use other methods for expressing their views. Only through scientific research, open minded discussions and a sense of what is best for society will this issue be laid to rest. Blind acceptance of both views will only lead to more emotional outbursts of violence in the long run. Editor's note: Bauman has a batchelor's degree in theology and is currently studying business. Easing campus costs not purpose of gift \ VlVl the administration," granted it is visual, however, it serves two very important purposes. The gift honors a family whose continued support has allowed many students to attend Appalachian. Sr. gift was chosen fairly by committee To the Editor: CV! A group of students at ML Holyoke College drove this point home when they mocked ML Holyoke's "Lesbian/ Bisexual Awareness Week" by proclaiming "Hetero­ sexual Awareness Week." As a civil rights chairperson stated, the U.S. constitution should suffice for homo­ sexuals and the rest of the population in regard to rights. The movement to "normalize" homosexuality has gained speed in the last two decades. Special gay and lesbian support groups have increased their sexual ori­ entation indoctrination. Armed with carefully worded rhetoric, these groups have blasted anyone who opposes homosexuality. Standing against homosexuality is seen as heretical to the new thinking of this enlightened generation. The major turning point for homosexual acceptance was the decision by the American Psychiatric Associa­ tion (APA) to remove homosexuality from their list of abnormalities. The 1973 decision was heavily and suc­ cessfully lobbied by homosexual liberationists.The trend was set for "normalization" of homosexuals. But does a majority vote by a heavily lobbied committee constitute the only"truth"on amatter? The mere changing of words does not necessarily change reality. The psychiatrists, and those who followed them, found it easier to change society instead of changing the real issues of homosexual relationships. Society has taken the easy, popular way to address homosexuality. Churches followed suit by changing their teachings to match the popular beliefs of society. Claiming "the-professionals-say-we're-normal"plat­ form, many homosexuals feel completely justified in their actions and "feel sorry" for those whodisagree with them. "Quite naturally, these individuals wish to legiti­ mize or 'normalize' their life styles" writes Harold M. Voth, M.D., a longtime psychologist, psychoanalyst and chief of staff of Topeka VA Medical Center. "It is very easy to find 'professional' help which will help you lower your standards," he concludes. Simply having some professionals agree homosexuality is all right does not eliminate the argument that it is not all righL In regard to the Feb. 12 letter to the Editor from Jeffrey Pipes and Beth Poplin, we were saddened to learn of your lack of interest and involvement in the university you are so "proud" of. Jeff and Beth, where did you get your information? First of all, regarding last year's class gift, it is a statue of our founder, Dr. B.B. Dougherty, to be erected in front of the library, not the Broyhill Inn and Conference Center. Secondly, the Senior Class of 1991 did choose the class gift. The Senior Committee sponsored a reception in the pub on Nov. 28 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. where seniors were educated on all four options and were allowed to select their number one choice. Seniors chose the garden area. As a matter of fact, almost 500 seniors pledged $150 to the Class Gift. Jeffrey and Beth, do you read your senior newsletter? Do you listen to WASU? Do you look at the bulletin boards on campus? Apparently not. If you, and "the seniors (you) have spoken with" are "so concerned," then we suggest you take a look around and you will see what's going on. The class gift is exactly what its name suggests—it is a gift. It is not our duty to supplement the university's budget. We suggest that if you are so concerned about the North Carolina budget cuts (as we all are), you write to your congressman instead of writing a letter to the Editor. And this time, make sure your information is correct. In response to calling the class gift a "vain gift" and a "frivolous vestige to The gift will also preserve and enhance the natural beauty and environment of ASU. Once again you demonstrated your lack of interest and involvement by not knowing about the selection of the Senior Committee. Last Spring, letters were sent to all juniors informing them of the upcoming Senior Committee membership drive. Those interested went through an interview process and were selected by last year's Senior Committee. The bottom line is, Jeffrey and Beth, we didn't hear you complain when we gave away free Cokes, buttons, cups, and stickers, or when we sent you a newsletter, provided discounts around Boone during Senior Week and assisted in December graduation. The fact is, the Senior Committee has and will continue to do great things for the Senior class as well as for this university. We only hope you will take the time to stay better informed and become involved in the senior activities provided for you. Informedly yours, Kevin Patton, Class Gift Chair ASU Box 17553 Kristi Wherry, President ASU Box 16400 Dormmate test has unanswered questions To the Editor: We read with interest the lead article in the Feb. 19 edition, "Myers-Briggs test to match roommates for fall 1991" and your editorial addressing the use of this test. Your editorial posed the question as to whether the test should be used. We believe you are entirely correct to question the use of the Myers-Briggs as a vehicle for matching roommates. In your editorial, however, you failed to identify what we believe are the most important considerations. Those are (1) the per-person cost to administer the test, (2) the likelihood that successful roommate matches using this test will occur at all (data which should certainly exist in the scientific literature before anyone would propose such a course of action), and (3) the reliability of the test itself. In other words, we believe that you should pursue the question of cost vs. demonstrated likelihood of benefit. A report of the facts would be interest­ ing to all, especially to those who will be paying for this endeavor. To put it more forcefully: one of us was heard to say, "****», this is a lame­ brained idea!", and the other three nodded their heads in agreement. Sincerely, Polly Tmavsky, Ph.D. Stan Aeschleman, Ph.D. Paul Fox, Ph.D. Verne Bacharach, Ph.D. Trivial ASU issues distract student body To the Editor: The library can't buy books, the state is broke, the country is bogged down in a recession, and we're entangled in a war of dubious necessity. So what is the hot issue at App State these days? Why, maintaining the doggie ambience on campus, of course. As David Bauman suggests in his excellent columns, there may be issues of greater import to concern ourselves with at this crucial moment in history. Ron Coulthard English Department Survey shows campus stand on leash bill To the Editor: I would like to make a few comments about amendment SB024-003, referred to in Student Government as the "Dog Bill." This bill was passed without our, the vast majority of the student body's, knowledge of it even being brought up. It was not an election platform, nor was it ever brought to us for discussion. I myself feel I was misrepresented by those in SGA, and I know of others who feel this way as well. I recently took a survey of 288 people on campus. Two-hundred and sixteen signed against the bill (75 percent), 51 said they supported it (18 percent), and 21 had no opinion (7 percent). I give an error of 10 percent. These numbers speak for themselves. While I was going around campus asking people to sign a petition against the new amendment one day, Mr. Randy Yelton, a member of SGA and the drafter of the Dog Bill, approached me. Yelton, in short, tore me up. I myself am not a good debater and probably never will be, but Yelton is (I believe he will make a great politician someday, but, coming from me, that is not a compliment). As he stormed away, he told me the petition was not credible because I took everyone's box number and not their I.D. numbers. That is how the survey came about. During our discussion, Yelton commented about the number of rottweilers on campus (most of which are not even a year old yet) and of some large malamutes. Yelton is thinking of the safety of the student body from these dogs. Now, I bet the owners of these dogs have never been robbed, beaten, raped or worse while their dogs were with them. This new amendment, which states that the dogs must be on a leash and the owner must be in full control of the leash at any and all times, makes it next to impossible for these people to bring their dogs on campus. I also have an account on Yelton being bitten by a dog, but, as the story goes, the dog was antagonized (from an unnamed source). Was this a personal vendetta for Yelton? Did he really care what the student body thought? Or was he looking to pass a bill simply because it had his name on it (his last chance, since he will not hold office again if I can help it)? The dean of ASU decreed back in 1978 that no dogs were to be allowed on campus, but this was never enforced, and from the results of my survey I can see why. SGA says it passed the bill just to reinforce that decree. I would like to remind SGA that it was created to represent the student body in governing campus, not to just merely reinforce decrees by the dean. Our SGA has failed us on this account. Yelton and the rest of SGA never bothered to think of alternatives to the amendmenL such as a waiver to protect the university from being sued, passing a muzzle ordinance, registering dogs on campus that students feel they need to bring along with them, allowing dogs to be tied up while the owner is attending class, or something saying no loose dogs on campus without close supervi­ sion by the owner. I would also like to remind SGA that people have been attacked by other people many times more than by dogs, and this is where their responsibility lies (contrary to Yelton's belief, you cannot tell what is going through a person's mind, either).* Maybe they will pass a leash law for people nexL My name is Chris True. I would like anyone's help on changing this policy. Chris True ASU Box 10044 �JJL The Appalachian Turcdav.

Blimling slated, "The institution is very interested in what the students have to say." Dr. Greg Blimling, vice chancellor of student development, informed the SGA about thepresent stateof affairsconcerning the SAC in the Feb. 19 senate meeting. Blimling began with Varsity Gym's history and current schedule. He noted that Varsity Gym can only accommodate 62 percent of campus needs. He stated, "We need 38 percent capacity in order to break even with our current needs." Varsity Gym was built in 1968 with 6,500 seats while the enrollment at ASU was just 5,500. Varsity Gym remains the same size today but the enrollment has increased to 11,500 students. The gym is occupied most of the day starting with the health and physical education classes from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Then, varsity athletes have the gym from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. and intramural sport have the gym from 8 p.m. until about 1 a.m. In 1988 ASU hired a group of archi­ tects to look into renovating BroomeKirk and Varsity gyms. Their plan was to allocate $12.8 million to renovate that area, but the area would in turn lose 1,000 seats. The N.C. Legislature then asked the university if it would be interested in a student activities center. Blimling said, "Our choices were, would you like to have a student activities center or nothing." Blimling noted that a new math/sci­ ences building or a library addition are also needed but he emphasized that if the legislature is offering ASU funds for a student activities center, the university should take advantageof this opportunity. According to Blimling, the legislature decided an SAC was in the best interests of the university since the money was available to support it. In September of 1989, it was brought before SGA, who also voted to support theSAC. Following the SGA vote, the university has contin­ ued to proceed with plans for construction of an SAC. Blimling noted that the state is facing a $1.2 billion deficit for next year. Because of this, the state has put some plans on hold, one of which could be the SAC. However, Blimling said, 'The state will build this building." He also said that the state has given ASU $3 million to start the building, but they have delayed giving the university another $2 million. Blimling said the cost for the building is approximately $24,528,000. Of that, the state is pledging $10,498,155. He also noted that $14,030,245 will come from other sources, $10,498,155 of which will come from student fees, with the remain­ ing $4million coming from donations and money raised by the university. Blimling said that the university is not going to be able to start building right away. Since the fall of 1990, the univer­ sity has collected $787,500 from student fees that went into a trust account marked for the SAC. Students are currently being assessed $80 per year which will increase to $110 per year. This will generate about $1,080,000 annually, assuming enrollment stays at9,840full-time students. Blimling added that it would be in the economic interest of the current students, the univer­ sity and future students if the university borrows less money. Blimling emphasized, "There is not one place on this campus where we can gather as an entire university." He men­ tioned gathering for convocations and for sources of entertainment as a reason to support the SAC. When asked if the administration will consider the student vote on tire SAC, Blimling commented, "The institution is very interested in what the students have to say;" however, he added, "The institu­ tion is pretty well commuted to building the SAC." Mary Ann Sabo, coordinator of student publications, also spoke for the need of an improved student directory that would include student addresses. She asked that the senate bring it before the student gov­ ernment and to "possibly ask you (SGA) for a recommendation or resolution about what we should do next year." Sabo stud, "we feel that it is a conve­ nience and a service to include a post office box number in the directory. Out of 14 campuses in the UNC system who responded to a survey, only 2 other schools do not publish a student address in their directories." Budget shortfalls affect ASU's university plan By AMANDA NELSON Assistant News Editor ASU recently presented the university plan, its budget for 1991 through 1993, at a time when Dr. Bobby Sharp, director of institutional research, said "the state's fi­ nancial picture is not bright." However, according to Dr. Bill Ward, assistant vice chancellor for academic affairs, the plan was written before state budget shortfalls. "The planning process began when the economic circumstances weremuch more favorable. We may very well not be able to do some of the things that we had planned to do," Ward said. ASU Chancellor John Thomas con­ firmed this in amemorandum to all faculty and staff that stated, "It is important to recall that the unit-level planningon which the university document is based actually occurred over a year ago, when the im­ mediate economic outlook was less bleak than it has since become." Thomas also stated,.. it is critically important that we not permit temporary adversity to dispirit us or cause us to lose sight of where we want to go." "The plan is the mechanism by which we establish where we want to go and the means by which we want to get there," Ward said. The plan attempts to compensate for the decline in the number of high school graduates by trying to retain more stu­ dents that are currently enrolled at ASU, according to Ward. "Retention and enrollment are crucial goals," Ward said. He continued, "In or­ der for us to get our share of good, quality students we have to consider retention and graduate rates to compensate for the smaller number of freshmen. We want to make sure we get quality students—not just warm bodies," Ward added. Sharp also noted that the plan "wants to continue to enhance the learning envi­ ronment of ASU. The focus is on the students and the enhancement of student life." Ward said that AS U would try to recruit more foreign and minority students in the future. "Chancellor Thomas is very much committed to trying to internationalize our campus." The pi an alsocalls for an increase in the number of stipends for graduate assistants. According to Ward, the university will implement this increase and he added that the university hopes to purchase an auto­ mated degree audit system. The automated degree audit system works to check individual students' qualifications for graduation. "It is critically necessary for the new core curriculum which makes the require­ ments for graduations more complex," Ward said. port building may take more time than anticipated. Ward said. "It's clear that some projects are going to take longer to complete. It's hard for us to attach dates because we are depen­ dent on the state's appropriations," Ward said. According to Ward, new projects as well as reparation work on existing struc­ tures are on hold also. "Everything isdependent on the state's economic situation. We are painfully aware that there are new buildings that we need," he said. Ward urged any student who has not read the plan to do so. Projects such as the west campus food facility, the SAC, and the academic sup­ See BUDGET page 2 Ski season described as average fin Ski operators and students express their opinions on season By BRITT ELLIS Appalachian Staff Writer The 1990-91 ski season has been an average year so far, according to Brad Moretz, marketing director of Appala­ chian Ski Mountain. Moretz said he was "proud of the sea­ son, considering the weather." Moretz also said that this is the "warmest winter (we've) had in a while." The "Farmer's Almanac" forecast for last fall and this winter called for cooler than normal temperatures and a much wetter and snowier season than average. January through mid-February was ex­ pected to be cold and wet, with heavy snows in the mountains. Marda Shore, public relations director for Sugar Mountain Resort, said the ski season has done well and has been steady this year. Moretz commented that this year has been more constant, but as a whole, last year was better. Moretz added that last December (1989), was the cold­ est December in many years. Shore said that the ski season one to five years ago was best because of its consecutively colder temperatures. Shore As far as new developments on the slope this year. Sugar has a Piston Bully, which is similar to a snow cut groomer. Appalachian has rented a dicsel compressor this year which "gives 25 percent more snow-making capability," Moretz said. For many stu­ dents, the season is still going strong. ASU sophomore Barrett Garner said that the season "got off to a slow start, but has picked up since Christmas." —Marda Shore Gamer also said the Relations Director "past few weeks „ havebecnespecially added that she would like to "see another season like 1987." When asked about his feelings on the recent snow, Moretz commented that "more snow gets people more excited about skiing."

Student drug use declines In California: SACRAMENTO, Calif. (CPS)—Less than a week after a University of Michigan claimed student use of illicit drugs has declined nationwide for the second straight year, a California study found drug and alcohol use among California high schoolers has declined slightly. Alcohol drinking among public school students in 7th, 9th and 11th grades declined for the first time since 1985, the study by University of California-Los Angeles Prof. Rodney Skager found. The number of students who confessed to having used marijuana and cocaine during the past year also fell. Budget crises stop enrollments, close ofTlces: (CPS)—The mounting financial crises at many campuses nationwide forced Virginia administrators to order state schools to limit the number of students they admit during the next two years. Ihe costs of allowing enrollments to continue to grow far exceed the projections of how much money there will be available to educate them " a Feb 6 release from the State Council of Higher Education noted. The same day, Ohio Gov. George Voinovich predicted "layoffs" and higher tuition at Ohio campuses to cope with a new $127 million state budget shortfall. egon State University officials announced they would limit the number of hours the admissions and financial aid offices would be open as a money-savine measure. Staffers asked to donate pay to balance college's budget: PITTSBURGH, Pa. (CPS)—Carlow College employees should donate one day's pay each month to help the school balance its budget, said college officials John Nodzelewski adding the pnvate women's college will also cut four faculty members and shorten library hours next semester.

Hocking contends making paper cups „ environmentally difficult as making v feam cups. The main factor that is clearly in favor of the polyfoam cup is that the paper cup consumes not only wood resources, but also petroleum resources to the same ex­ tent as polystyrene foam," he maintained. "That factor alone is sufficient to have me personally choose a polyfoam cup." Petroleum, usually fuel oil or natural gas, is first used during the papermaking process, and then is used again if paper cups have aplastic or wax coating. Hock­ ing explained. Foam cup production also requires only about one-sixth as much of other types of chemicals, like chlorine and sulfur, as paper cups, according to Hocking'sstudy, published in the journal Science." Hock­ ing also found that bleached paper cups pollute the air more than foam cups do. Foam cups fell into environmental dis­ repute about 15 years ago, after scientists linked the chlorofluocarbons, or CFCs, used in their production to depletion of the TU^ Call 262-3104 and be a news source for REES protective ozone layer in Earth's upper atmosphere. CFCs are no longer used to make foam cups. Pentane is now used in their place. As for the threat of global warming, Hocking said pentane's impact as a socalled greenhouse gas is probably less than the methane andcarbon dioxide gases produced by paper cups decomposing in landfills. Technology exists to recycle foam cups into other materials, said Hocking, but a better system of collecting such material "is required to make this option a more significant reality." Many paper cups, especially the more sturdy varieties, cannot be recycled. Foam cups decompose very little when buried in landfills. Hocking conceded. However, he noted that there is increasing evidence that paper also does not degrade as well in landfills, especially in dry re­ gions. A AlC /\ppcllciCn 13.11. STOYANOFF Duo-pianists Duke fans abuse UNC cheerleaders j£PS)—The life of a college cheer- Itader these days includes more than big jfliles and loud yells. It can also mean enduring vocal and tven physical abuse from fans of the * opposing team. How fans at Duke University, long tywn as particularly inventive and Dccasionally cruel in their unofficial basketball cheers and jeers, have been ibcled as "sexist" in their treatment of a \ cheerleader from University of North I Carolina at a Jan. 22 game at Duke. The sexist abuse heaped upon the North Carolina cheerleader was something that cannot be tolerated anywhere, and espetially not at a public sports event," said Norfolk Virginian-Pilot columnist Frank Vehom in recounting the episode. "It was worse than usual because it was directed at people who do not play the I game, agreed UNC cheerleading coach Don Collins. Duke officials could not be reached for comment. During the game, Duke fans repeat­ edly called one cheerleader a "bitch" and later threw tennis balls at the UNC cheer­ leaders. Among the outraged observers of the abuse, UNC cheerleader Shea Roberts tried to stay calm and professional. Fans can get unruly "anywhere we go, 'Roberts explained, adding that Duke and Clemson University in South Carolina had the most unruly fans in the Atlantic Athletic Conference. "Those are the only places I'd be wor­ ried about safety," she said. But "we've learned not to take them personally." As for the tennis balls, the UNC cheerlead­ ers just threw them back to the fans, Roberts said. "It was all in jest. We got a big kick out of it," she said. But this is not the first time complaints have been raised about fans' treatment of cheerleaders. In 1989, University of Michigan offi­ cials banned marshmallows from the school's football stadium after fans had begun sticking them together and hurling them at cheerleaders, band members and each other. Yale cheerleaders demanded an apol­ ogy from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1988 after midshipmen "passed" one young woman through the crowd at a football game. Cheerleader Kim Reeder complained the midshipmen bruised, scratched and fondled her as she was carried feet-first into the bleachers before the game.

Drummer for the -kafellas, Matt Tervitt said, "The ond Step contains some of the best sicians we've ever seen. They are fun hang out with and we play with them as ch as possible." Tervitt added, "If you . good music, these are the best musito come down from New York." The Second Step have the same re­ spect for the musical ability of the Rockafellas also. "We love playing with the Rockafellas," trumpeter Tim Champeaux said; "They're a bunch of great guys and musicians. We like to drink an occasional 'Sunday beer' with them. We owe those guys a lot of thanks. They have opened many doors for us down here." The Rockafellas are a five-piece band out of Macon, Ga. Two guitars, a bass, drummer and percussionist put out a classic rock 'n' roll sound. "I don't know if I would say Southern Rock but we are from the South and we do play rock *n' roll," band member Matt Tervitt said. Country, rock, all the styles we have heard influence the sound that comes through." The Rockafellas play a show consist­ ing of all original music, much from their first compact disc, 'Time Will Tell." John Kene who produced their first compact disc has worked with groups out of Athens, Ga., such as REM and the Indigo Girls. Plans are in the works for a second disc which Johnny Sandlin will produce. Sandlin has also produced sev­ eral albums for the Allman Brothers. Playing in Boone as often as once a month, the Rockafellas have a strong following. "Boone is always one of our favorite places to play. The crowds are great and the people have supported us," Tervitt said. Tervitt describes The Second Step as a funk-reggae type group. But, there is one thing you can be assured of this band is unique. The Second Step contains a talented, well-experienced core of musicians. Members of the band have worked with and played with a long list of musicians including thefollowing: Chaka Khan, Keith Richards, Carlos Santana, I Tal, Otis Day and the Knights, Lionel Hampton, Dizzy Gillespie, Tracy Chapman and the New York Philharmonic. ! fffU> v The Second Step as a whole has per­ formed with an impressive list of artists including: Kid Creole and the Coconuts, Natalie Cole, Dr. John, Fishbone, Urban Blight, Jimmy Cliff and George Clinton. The band plays in clubs up and down the East Coast from Boston to Jacksonville to New Orleans to D.C.

'ocket Gallery displays student art in casual atmosphere DCV SHERMAN ipalachian Staff Writer East Residence Hall sprawls aside Lo­ st Street with a motley architecture of pes trimming the walls and ceilings. Its tal lick of order is a symbol of its ever lasvpig, ever expanding essence. On yndiy,hb. 11, East Hall saw theopen'61the newest facet of its expressive *, theWataugaPocketGallery, located room B-20. The gallery is small, perhaps 20 feet mg eachside, but the space is well filled with the art of past and present Watauga College students as well as other Appala­ chian students. Mostly there are sculp­ ture and texture works: an assortment of wooden feet, a paint-spattered rectangle of wood covered with bits of plastic foam and a strange black box holding a lifesized, papier-mache person. "Dr. Bud Gerber (director of Watauga College) and Dr. Marv Williamsen (chairman of the department of interdis­ ciplinary studies) and I had decided that I could use this room as a studio since I live in Gardner and have absolutely zero space," curator and art major Ashley Hutchinson said. "I opened the door one day and I couldn' t walk in. As you can tell, it's a lot different now," Hutchinson added. The room was impeccably clean and much more spacious than its previous state. "My sister and I spent eight hours down here just cleaning and scrubbing and serapingpaim off of the walls,"Hwehrmwr said. "We were hanging old Watauga art just to get it out of my way and my sister went, 'Hey, why don't you turn this into a gallery? It's pretty cool.' So I played around with the idea for a long time and I asked Jazz Virtuosos Kay Smith (associate professor of inter­ disciplinary studies). We talked about it and we decided that there was a real need on campus for a gallery atmosphere that was casual. People could just come and chill," Hutchinson said. Actually, the gallery has been open since the beginning of the semester, ever Since- Hutchinson started using it as a studio. Now, there are posters up, the majority of which were done by Hutchinson and East Hall resident Sonya Little.

The vast array of unusual creatures, extravagant special effects and original plot seen in "The Neverending Story" are absent in the sequel. Six years ago, my best friend and I submitted to the degradation of being chauffeured around by our parents. One occasion that was worth the embarrass­ ment was the night we went to see the movie "The Neverending Story." I was delighted by the story of Bastian, a boy tortured by bullies, who escapes to the fantasy land of Fantasia. The movie was so enchanting that I went out and bought the book the movie was based on.

The original raw, mys­ tical, bluesy rock was kept intact, but Page was able to update the music with 90s technology. The box set includes all the famous Zeppelin tunes: "Whole Lotta Love," "Rock and Roll," "Stairway To Heaven" and "Black Dog" to name just a few. These widely-known and probably overplayed Zep hits were shoo-ins to be included. However, what makes the set great is the inclusion of four previously unreleased songs: 'Traveling Riverside Blues," "Hey Hey What Can I Do." "White Summer/Black Mountain Side" and "Moby Dick/Bonzo's Montreux." These four tunes are almost worth the price of the box set by themselves, es­ pecially "Moby Dick/Bonzo's Mon­ The gallery is open each Monday night from 8 to 10 p.m. Among future shows will be the presentation of an un­ named artist's three-dimensional work which includes body-castings and sculp­ ture.

Mostofthe artworkcurrently ondisplay was done by Steve Ferguson's art class. Unfortunately, Ferguson may need the room back in the fall and that will be the end of the Pocket Gallery.

This piece was whipped up by Page in the studio last spring, and it shows the original and artistic musical skills still present in Page, who has been accused of being bumt-out after repeated drug prob­ lems. This new song is a microcosm of the message of the entire box set: Zeppelin's music can survive and even flourish al­ most 12 years after its last collective LP was released. The entire range of Led Zeppelin's sounds are present on the box set. From the raucous guitar-based "Heartbreaker" to the more somber, organ-dominated "No Quarter" the broad scope of Zeppelin's musical talents are covered on the set. More importantly, the box set provides Zep's fans with a new forum to hear the group. As Crowe puts it, "For a generation of kids, teenage angst was easily aided by a good set of headphones and a decent copy of 'Led Zeppelin II.' Now that genSee ZEPPELIN page 6 When I heard "The Neverending Story II" was coming out, I waited in anxious anticipation for its arrival in Boone. This sequel could not quite measure up to the first part. A few creatures were salvaged from "The Neverending Story," based on the book of the same name by Michael Ende (translated from German). However, the variety of creatures is reduced and the human characters are portrayed by a new cast. TONGHT The new Bastian, (played by Jonathan Brandis), is a little older. Brandis is a brazen pre-teen who has none of the innocence of the young Bastian. He is much more extroverted, self-righteous and full of witty comebacks. This talkative boy is a typical product of Hollywood— a freckled, blond-haired, blue-eyed Ricky Schroeder of the 90s. Brandis does not bring fantasy and reality together con­ vincingly. Rather, he creates a clash, es­ pecially when he tell his Fantasian friend Atreyu (Kenny Morrison) to "Gimmee five!" and "Get real!" In the second movie, Bastian's dad is portrayed by Jon WesleyShipp of CBS's "The Flash."Shipp failed to establish his character as well as the first movie's father, a tough type who couldn't un­ derstand Bastian's weaknesses and had difficulty dealing with his own emotions about his wife's death. The visionary creaturesof Fantasia are glimpsed more briefly in the sequel. The few creatures in this film are impressive, such as the teeth-gnashing giants and lovable Falcor, the luck-dragon. The Fantasians are represented mostly by hu­ mans wearing silver masks and gracefully walking about as if dancing. It seems as if more funds wereallocated for making the slinky, sequined dresses of the seductive Xayide (the bad guy) than for general special effects. The ef­ fects whichI hoped would dazzle me were lackluster. With the money available for special effects, elaborate sets were cre­ ated, even if they were small, confined ones. These small-scale sets remind meof the old "Star Trek" series or some other television series having a limited budget for each episode. Yet, if you can ignore the scenes of the Silver Sea which look like toy boats filmed in someone's bath­ tub, there is some excellent footage such as when Falcor flies around Fantasia (the movie was filmed on location in Canada, Argentina, France, Italy and Germany). "Story 2"stole the plot formula from its predecessor. Bastian has a fear of jumping off the high diving board. He goes to the antique bookstore and spies a book that intrigues him (The Neverending Story). The shopkeeper warns him to not read it because he says the story "changes every time." On the contrary, it doesn't! Bastian "borrows" the book while the shopkeeper supposedly isn't looking and embarks upon another adventure. Once again, the Rock biter tells Bastian of the impending danger in Fantasia; Bastian must name it, as he had to name the Childlike Empress last time around. CAMPU5 MARQUEE •Film at I.G.

Recently, the band was voted New York City's Best Unsigned Band of 1989. However, thev signed a recording con­ tract with a major label, The Record Plant. Bob Schwaid of Entertainment Complex International is their new The script also has its weaknesses. Cheap lines abound, such as Atreyu's comment on Bastian splan, "It'sdangerous, but it just might work." A similar line must have been used a thousand times in sitcoms. How many times have you seen a character work up a wacky scheme, itsincredible stupidity obviously designed for the audience's amusement, and the character's friends respond, "Gee, it's a crazy plan, but it just might work?" dio. Instead, the remaining members of the group felt a need to. once and for all, put Zeppelin in their respective place. As Plant put it, "Zeppelin is as competitive now as it was in 1980. So it should be heard right. It was time to put Zeppelin, sonically, in their rightful place." The box set met that goal. All the recordings sound newer, fresher, but still retain the original power. The result is manager. The band had just completed shooting the film for their first video, Col-1 ors, which should air this Spring on MTV. The musical combination of the| Rockafellas and The Second Step should provide the best show this year in Boone. You can catch The Second Step again at Sollecito's on Friday. Also, there are comedy attempts exploit­ ing the fact that Bastian comes from a different culture than the Fantasians. For example, Bastian tells Atrevu to "Gimme five!" and Atreyu responds, "Five what?" j Overall, this is an impressive and enjoy­ able movie when seen alone, but it cannot | compare with its predecessor.

WARD Appalachian Sports Editor Appltchlan Photo by Ketth Jickaon rR-DEFENDER: ASU center Tim Powers (44) fires a short jumper over UTC's A low number of team fouls by both squads proved to be a deciding factor Monday evening as the Moccasins of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga narrowly eclipsed the Mountaineers of Appalachian State, 68-67. After gaining a one-point advantage with 56 seconds to play, the Mocs were able to prevent the Mountaineers from executing on offense by fouling the Apps and forcing them to reset. The Mocs en­ tered the Final minute with just three team fouls, having three to give before forcing the Mountaineers to the foul line. UTC used those three fouls, each in the final 18 seconds, forcing the Mountain­ eers to retreat to the sideline and reset off the in-bounds play. The Mountaineers initially ran the shot clock down to four seconds (the game clock to 18) before UTC's Keith Nelson fouled Tim Powers on the outside. Seven seconds later Broderick Parker was fouled on the perimeter by Derrick Kirce. After the in-bounds toss, just three ticks dwindled from the clock before Tyrone Enoch fouled Ed Ward. The Enoch foul gave ASU the ball on the sideline with eight seconds to play. Following the in-bounds, Ward fired from the right corner. Ward's shot caromed off the side of the iron, but Parker was there for the weak side rebound and apparently a second ASU opportunity. However, the whistle blew as Parker came down, and the referee ruled his foot to be on the endline, ending ASU's chance at a lastsecond win. "With neither team having any fouls, they (UTC) were able to make us use some time,"AS U Head Coach Tom Apke said. Apke commented that the baseline play which ran at the close of the game has three or four options and has been suc­ cessful for ASU in similar situations. Apke said the shot was taken immedi­ ately because,"You have to allow yourself time for the ball to be in flight and get a second opportunity." "We were able to use the fouls at the end to use some clock," UTC Head Coach Mack McCarthy said. ASU, who didn't lead in the contest until the 12:02 mark, led 65-62 with just over two minutes togo. The Mocs knotted the score, however, as LeVert Threats bombed a three-pointer over Tim Powers with 2:08 to play. On the other end, the Mountaineers ran the shot clock down to three seconds before Powers, who led all scorers with a career high 25, made a spin move in the paint to put ASU up by two, 67-65, with 1:22 to play. At the 56-second mark Nelson posted up on the right box and picked up the basket and the foul. His three-point play proved to be the game winner as the Mocs went ahead by one, 68-67, and then re­ treated to defense, where they held the Mountaineers to just one shot in the final minute. "Nelson made a good move on Ricky (Nedd) along the baseline," Apke said. "I am really proud of our team," Apke said. "We played inspired." "We were a little nervous, playing a team we respect so much and playing them without Spurly," Apke said, referring to the absence of the Mountaineers' leading scorer andrebounder, Steve Spurlock, who was out with an ankle sprain. "We battled right down to the wire," Apke said. "I thought it was a great game." "It was a good win for us," McCarthy, whose club improved to 16-9 overall and 9-3 in the league, said. "We made all the big plays we had to make down thestretch." The Mountaineers, who fell to 13-12 and 6-6, played a three-two zone for much of the contest. "We gambled to buy time," Apke said. "We gambled with the threetwo zone. I thought it slowed the pace of the game.I thought our guys did a good job of it, not allowing them to shoot their threes comfortably." "They (ASU) did a pretty nice job of playing it(the three-two),"McCarthy said. "It served its purpose; it shortened the game. We knew they weren't going to foul and get very deep on their bench." The Mocs jumped out to an early 10-0 lead behind the scoring of Nelson and Threats. Nelson finished the game with a team-high 23 while Threats added 15. The Mountaineers battled back and found themselves down by just five, 3934, at the half as Ward bombed a threepointer from the right wing with 18 sec­ onds to go. In the second period the Apps pulled to within one, 45-44, by the 16:33 mark as Powers followed a Ward miss. The first Mountaineer lead came with12:02 to play when Ward tossed an alley-oop to Billy Ross on a two-on-one break. Parker proved to be the Mountaineers' second leading scorer, finishing the game with 12. Nedd recorded six blocks and seven rebounds to lead the Apps in both departments. The Mountaineersclose out the regular season with two conference road games. Saturday, the Apps travel to Lexington, Va., to face Virginia Military. They then joumey to Huntington, W.Va., to meet the Thundering Herd of Marshall. SU wrestlers taste victory in Southeastern Invitational •BRIAN LAYH ppaMian Staff Writer The ASU wrestling team captured the istern Invitational Tournament in rleston, S.C. Saturday and dedicated win lo the memory of the father of a mineer wrestler. | Sophomore ' 126-pounder Scott champ's father was killed in a plane sh the day before the match; Beauchamp was unable to participate and the team wrestled for him in his absence. "Our main focus was to go to Charles­ ton and win the tournament for Scott," junior wrestlerChris Sanders said."We've decided todedicate the team trophy to him and the memory of his father." The tourney featured Duke and Geor­ gia Tech from the Atlantic ©fast Confer­ ence and included Southern Conference rival The Citadel. Carson-Newman, Davidson and Gardner-Webb also par­ ticipated in the invitational. Appalachian matmcn captured five victories and added two second place fin­ ishes en route to a 131 -point team perfor­ mance and overall tournament win. In the 118-pound class, Antonio Calloway, who was seeded first, swept the competition in three straight matches to finish first. Chad Collins won the 142-pound divi­ sion with a victory over Andy Hupp from The Citadel who had beaten Collins ear­ lier in the season in The Citadel duals. First seeded Adrian Hines dominated his competition in the 150-pound class, winning threeconsecutive matches, while B ill Baker andChris S anders were perfect as well winning the 158 and 167-pound divisions, respectively. An example of the team effort came from sophomore John Reynolds at the 190-pound weight. Reynolds made it to the finals, against two-time ACC champ Brad Wever from Duke, andnarrowly lost 5-4, to take second place. "John wrestled really well,"Mance said.

Mountaineer men's Head Coach A1 Fereshetian was amazed with the amount of improvement his squad displayed at Clemson, commenting, "We did well. There werea lot of improvements amongst the team members, placing them higher in the conference rankings." Indoor conference champions for six of the past seven years, the Mountaineers hope to capture a third consecutive title. 'We feel good about the Southern Confer ence meet," Fereshetian said. "We are re­ ally looking foward to it.This meet will be a good chance for ASU to perform well. We have strength in all areas and we may be able to score in all events, which does not happen too often. If things go our way, we have a good chance at winning. 'We are looking for Virginia Military to be strong and put up a good, tough fight. They compete well, as does ASU. Western Carolina and East Tennessee State should also fare well in certain events.

A. garden and gazebo area is a good way to help improve our environment i campus. It's also a gathering place for students in the spring and fall and .ter class. However, it may be a bit premature. Although a gift is a gift, next year the senior class should take some things i consideration before deciding what the gift should be: •Last year the library was forced to cut funding due to the budget crisis, eywere forced to cancel 510,000 in popular journal subscriptions because ey simply could not afford them. Next year they will lack approximately »\01,000 to pay their costs. In the face of this shortfall, new subscriptions that polity and students want and need cannot be ordered. The situation at the )' has moved from bald tb'worse, and the outlook for the next few years :s just as bleak. With all the budget cuts that have dramatically reduced library funding and srfunding across campus, a class gift of S30,000 would make an excellent apin the pot. Our library is in desperate need of financial resources—now in the future. 3' Although the committee only collectsS10 initially from each senior and the raining amount is collected over a five-year period, with the alarming ases in journals and books, it is clearly evident this need will still be here VC years from now. \\ •Ascholarship fund would also be a useful idea. Financing a student who Id not otherwise be able to afford it is an excellent way for the seniors to tribute to the university. Every day students are struggling to put in e mselves through school.

THE FAR SIDE By DAVID BAUMAN Appalachian Commentary Editor "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." Martin Luther King, Jr., the author of this statement, saw injustice in America during the early '60s. He saw blacks being treated as tower lifeforms and not as human beings. Because of his efforts and the courage of many people like him, the American society has come a long way in restoring justice where injustice once ruled. Unfortu­ nately, the battle against injustice is not finished. Today one-third of the black community lives at or below the poverty level. For many people of color, the shackles of discrimination and prejudice have been re­ moved only to have the chains of poverty tightly fastened to their dreams and aspirations. These iron chains have squelched upward mobility, academic excellence and success in almost half of the U.S. black population. The future doesn't seem to hold freedom either. "Drugs and crime, teenage parenthood, poor education and joblessness will still be major problems in the black communities in the future," states the book, "A Common Destiny: Blacks and American Society." The author continues to say that one-third of all blacks will be poor and the earning status of black men will continue to go down. The poverty gap will increase between blacks in poverty and educated whites and blacks. Justice and equality have missed this section of the United States. Injustice is again stalking the homes and neighborhoods of many black Americans. Blacks in the inner city find themselves in a no-win produce quality, stick with school and become leaders, situation.

Widen your cultural horizons with concerts By DAVID BAUMAN Appalachian Commentary Editor After living in Pasadena, Ca., for four years, I took the cultural events near me for granted. Though I was able to see "Phantom of theOpera," the JulliardString Quartet, the Dance Theater of Harlem and other fantasticevents, there werestill many ballets, orchestras and jazz concerts that I passed up. Now I'm back home in Boone, N.C. and I'm craving culture. I listen to my classical and jazz cassettes trying to relive the big city art community scene. In Los Angeles, there is no dead air space on the radio dial. The FM dial is a ticket to an endless buffet of music for all tastes. Not so here in Boone. Saturday night, however, I found the answer to my cultural appetite. It came in the form of the ASU Jazz Ensemble con­ cert. From the very first trumpet blast, I knewl wasinforatreat.Todd Wright, the leader of the ensemble, took the character­ istic jazz-band-leaderstance in front of his troops and they blazed away. I asked my wife if I wis really in Boone. The show continued to get better as various members of the ensemble did ex­ cellent solos that highlighted the already fast moving train of music. Eric Unsworth kept the train going with his quick bass solos and back-ups. But the real power to the train came from Chris Allen. Using hisdrums, cymbals and sticks, he piled tons of coal into the hot furnace of the music machine whichcontinued down the tracks. I knew we were in for a ride when he took his coat off after the second song. The music continued to play, and my foot continued to tap the floor. Shannon Stone, Matt Vance, Todd Wright and the entire ensemble wereexcellent. When B ill Watrous came out to perform, he was simply joining with fellow musicians who had taken up the pursuit of excellence as he had years ago. I left the concert with deep respect for the ASU music depart­ ment and especially for the talented musi­ cians who had given their hearts via music that night. Boone is full of Appalachian culture, but too many times we limit ourselves to one type of culture and never branch out to discover the world of music. Some students only like country music. Some only listen to rock music. Some hold classical music as the standard for all music. People who have a narrow view of music have handi­ capped themselves culturally. Afraid to break away from their peers and preju­ dices, many students here will never listen to an entire Beethoven symphony. Many will never experience the beauty of Edvard Grieg' s works. Or how about the powerful voice of Placido Domingo? Widerungyour cultural horizons doesn't mean you have to enjoy all types of music, but it does mean that you will try different types. Can you imagineonly eating v anilla ice cream all your life? Sticking with only one type of music your whole life is analogous to this. Try some other flavors. Sometimes it only takes the turn of a radio rtoTV dial to open a new world of emotion and ideas conveyed by music. The music of today is often very shal­ low. It seems we have to turn the volume up to 10 in order to get any feeling from it. Volume, however, is no substitute for content. All thepower of a 100-amp sound system playing AC/DC can never out power the solo violin's last note in "Meditation" by Massenet in terms of emotional content. The ASU school of music provides a wide range of musical performances. At­ tending some of these concerts is a must for those who want to broaden their cul­ tural horizons. You may not enjoy what you hear, even though I'm sure you wilL but at least you have added another ex­ perience to your cultural library. Don't take the cultural opportunities here at ASU for granted. Each one is an investment in your education.

SGA takes its turn defending criticized bills The senators came out in force to offer their position on unpopular decisions By GARY LARSON W1 Yelton bites back in response to Lancaster To the Editor: Shh. Listen! There's more: 'I've named the male hh the big ears Bozo, and he is surely the nerd of he social group — a primate bimbo, if you will. In response to Craig Lancaster's letter to "The Appalachian," if he is truly the one who wrote it, for your information, I didn't have to have Daryl Ghent's permission to introduce the senate bill requiring dogs to be on a leash while on campus. The reason I didn't have to have permission is that we have a vice-president who stays neutral in all issues so he will not influence the senate in the way that they vote. I did consult with Darvl on the bill and he did have concerns about it, but as with all other legislation, he let the student senators decide on the issue. You try to make him look bad in your article. What would really make him look bad is if he only let the bills go before senate that he agreed with. WHY HAVE A SENATE!?!? Mr. Lancaster, or whoever wrote the letter, you made comparisons to the student government and the federal government. It is obvious that you need to take a political science class. We do compare in some ways to the federal government in that we have three separate branches, but that's about where the comparisons stop. Also, the last time I checked, the vice-president didn't have veto power. If you have a dog, I hope that you will take time to walk him and even bring him over to the campus; but please respect others' rights to not be threatened by this animal and keep it on a leash. I have three dogs myself: a Doberman, a pit bull and a poodle. When I take these animals out, I keep them on a leash. Can you imagine the fear alone not to mention the physical damage that two of my dogs could do if I just turned them loose? My committee's job is to explore all issues that concern the students on this campus and I have a fine group of senators that help me to do this job. When I have complaints coming into my office on a weekly basis, am I supposed to tell these students they don't have a right to walk around this campus and not be bitten? Everything that the student senate is going to do is posted ahead of time. Before you or anyone else starts criticizing the senators, you need to start paying attention to the minutes posted around campus and contact your senator or come to the meeting. Our senators are the students on this campus who are willing to take on this extra responsibility, and you and others should be glad that they are willing to do so. By the way, we do have open senate seats if you really want to do something for your school besides sit back and sign letters that someone else probably wrote. Before you go attacking Food Services, you need to shop around and look at other universities' food services. You will find out that we have an excellent food service here. You get what you pay for, and we get quality food here at ASU. You might even want to ask former students what the food was like here at ASU before Ron Dubberly took over Food Services. Randy D. Yelton ASU Box 18736 Prof and paper take barrage from senators To the Editor: This is in reply to the well-informed letter in the Thurs., Feb. 7, issue by a self-confident student of the absurd. Dr. Art Skibbe. Granted, his illuminating viewpoint was not totally created by the most accurate of information, but we will speculate on that issue later. Now, we will make our point about the leash "law," something our dear Dr. Skibbe apparently chose not to do. Those who understand and are involved with SGA are undoubtedly flattered by the amount of power people such as our Dr. Skibbe attribute to them. To set the record straight once and for aU, SGA is only a recommending body and may not "impose" anything— contrary to what our campus newspaper would like its readers to think. Our Dr. Skibbe does, however, get "sexed up" over many valid arguments. Like, for example, that dogs are an integral part of this university's atmosphere. What could possibly be learned from an institution where dogs DON'T run leashless? It is truly unfortunate that all instructors cannot See SGA page 10 �UL_ . The Appalachian, Thursday Fehruan/ 7 / I Q Q J CONGRATULATIONS! YOtTRS QUALIFIED 10 RECEIVE FINANCIAL AID / SGA Continued from page 9 claim the high level of professionalism and teaching talent as our infamous Dr. Skibbe. Some professors may actually be disturbed by a dog barking during their lecture. Imagine thaL With all due respect, the leash bill was simply a resolution of support for an administra­ tive policy written 13 years ago. It was supposedly already in effect prior to this bill, which suggests it be enforced to prevent abandoned dogs, class distur­ bances and possible attacks. All dogs deserve; to run free in their environment, but we lesser creatures who pay tuition for enrollment equally deserve the right to walk around campus without fearing an attack. Of course Joe ASU loves to see dogs running free (albeit straight for him with fangs showing) because it adds to the atmosphere. Dogs are much like people—not all are kind and affection­ ate. Saying "My dog wouldn't bite" is much like claiming, "My gun wasn't loaded." In both scenarios, the state­ ment is no consolation after the act Bad SGA! Play dead! They had the absolute nerve to show concern for the students. Why can't they remember they were elected to represent the dogs on this campus? In reality, however, all of our criticism cannot be directed only at our dear Dr. Skibbe. He was misguided and misinformed by his sources, namely the news staff of the paper. This is not the first time this has happened. In the same issue as our Dr. Skibbe's disappointing letter, an article also appeared claiming SGA "imposed laundry fees." The choice of the word "imposed" is interesting. A later statement in the article claimed that the fees would be activated regardless of the senate's vote. So which is it? What the author neglected to mention, a momentary slip of her mind of course, is that daily use of the laundry machines would be free. The S25 fee which the senate "imposed" actually served in replacing the estimated $60 per semester which students spend by paying for each load. The bill has since been vetoed by SGA President Michael Scales because of the timing and additional information received, and not due to any faulty idea in the nature of the bill itself. This veto was also agreed to by the bill's sponsor. The status of the bill is irrelevant. Our primary concern is the accurate depiction of news events as they happen (or lack thereof, as the case may be). We honestly hope this conveyance of misinformation on the part of the assistant news editor is due to igno­ rance of the issues and not a deliberate attempt at blaming the SGA for lack of student involvement. Our deepest thanks for the "salt" idea, our dear Dr. Skibbe. We plan to shake it on all the tails of those who refuse to get involved, but are more than happy to criticize issues they know nothing about. We strongly encourage all students and faculty to attend SGA meetings in order to voice their opinions and see for themselves what is really going on. Apparently, that will be the only way to get truthful and accurate information. ' tope to see you there! Scott Buettner SGA senator ASU Box 13805 Lynn Grose ASU Box 7110 Editor's note: We would like to apologize for the use of the word imposed. This may not have been the best choice of words, and we apologize for any confusion this might have caused. However, Senator Shelby Johnson did state at one point during the SGA meeting that the university was "going to do it anyway." The Assistant News Editor of "The Appalachian," Amanda Nelson, did accurately report what took place during this SGA meeting. Leash bill is not a "law" from the SGA And then you, the editors, decide to lash out at the SGA, accusing us of wanting to raise student fees. That was the most ridiculous thing I had ever read in my life (oh, there was Dr. Skibbe's letter). I don't think you got the whole idea about the laundry machine bill. It was presented in the efforts of correct­ ing a very costly and embarrassing problem. I do not fault President Scales' veto of the bill because he had the power and solid reasons for doing so. But, I am offended that some students at this university feel the senators of the Student Government Association are "a bunch of do-nothings" or dumb monkeys who sit in a room and make haphazard decisions. The public has always been invited to come to Room 1020 in the College of Business at 6:15 p.m. on Tuesday nights to see what their senators actually do. Many, if not all, of the senators in the senate work very hard to make student life better for all of us. I guess I say that because I am one of them, and I know for sure that I try my hardest to do what is best for my constituents and my university. „vt If TOO MANAGE TO MAKE ANY MONEY WRING THE SUMMER, YOU'LL GIVE IT ALL TO US IN THE FALL SO WE CAM INVEST IN REAL ESTATE. As for those "helpful hints" in the commentary: 1) Copies of the minutes are placed in all of the kiosk boards around campus, including the one in front of the student union next to the double doors close to the Pub. 2) About writing a column in "The Appala­ chian —isn't that why you send a reporter to each senate meeting, to report what is going on and what will be coming up? I would do it if I had the time. At least I would get the informa­ tion correct. 3) And about polling the constituents on issues—each on-campus senator is obligated to go to their RSA meetings and report on what is going on in senate. It is the responsibility of the students to go to the meetings and find out what is going on. Got an opinion?

To the Editor: I have heard about enough. It has been two straight weeks of the Student Senate getting it with vigor for doing things we deem to be in the best interest of the student body. For two weeks we have been overly criticized about the now famous dog bill. That's right, bill. Not a law. In fact, it was a resolution of support of the current leash law that was established in 1978 (not 1990 or 1991). The leash policy has supposedly always been enforced, but because of a rash of complaints, the Student Affairs Committee decided to present a bill that would stimulate the students' awareness of the policy and encourage the dog owners in our midst to take responsibil­ ity for their pets. Is it necessary for a mass of people to see an attack before there is a string of concern for student safety?

We feel like this gives us jsiem to work with," Coley said. The lest, which tries to determine a jail's personality type, will be enuedinresidencehall applications. Coley said even students who have chosen a roommate will be asked to take the test in case of problems that could arise. He stated roommate requests would be honored, but the Myers-Briggs would be used as a standby. "We're trying not to give the MyersBriggs testtoo much weight," Coley said. He continued, "We willcontinue to make room changes...there will still be stu­ dents who don't get along." There is also a possibility the MyersBriggs results could be used in other ways for the future. Coley noted, "It can be applied in career advancement, learn­ ing styles, and substance abuse patterns. But 1 don't know right now if Appalachian will use it in any other ways." Other factors will be looked at in addi­ tion to the Myers-Briggs test, according to Coley. These factors determine if the roommate is a smoker, their degree of neatness, and if they are early or late risers. Once the results from the test are com­ piled, Coley said, "we will try to have a match that is pretty close." Coley said controversy has arisen over the Myers-Briggs test because people with different types have been mismatched in other situations.This is also a possibility at ASU. "It is a possibility that we will not match up all four types in the future," Coley said. Heexplained there is potential for different types of people to learn from each other. Coley did note that freshmen tend to need more support than other students. Residence Life, therefore, will continue to match them as closely as possible. The Myers-Briggs test contains four basic categories.

On Friday, Boone experienced several inches of snow, but students still managed to make their way to classes. o According toThomas, the area chosen will usecleared land, although some trees will have to be cut The facility will be squatted low on the hill to increase pedes­ trian traffic over vehicular traffic. Supporters of this facility say that there is a genuine need for the space to hold the entire student body. Some uses of the project will be for athletic events, such as basketball. It will also house such events as com­ mencement and the annual convocation. Some of the functions held in Farthing Auditorium and Broyhill Music Center will also be moved to the SAC, where they could be better accommodated. Thomas said this facility will also help alleviate a lot of wear and tear on BroomeKirk Gymnasium and Varsity Gym­ nasium due to the athletic events held there. These gymnasiums could then be de­ voted to health classes. Chancel­ lor Thomas com­ mented, "There is no question that we have to have space." Once the actual construction begins, the project should take three years, ac­ cording toThomas. ASU is committed to build the student activities center as soon as theNorth Carolina legisl aturc approves funding. Chancellor Thomas is expecting a "long session" in legislature that may last until June or July. According to Thomas, ASU is standing in line behind many other government funding requests. ASU is committed to build the student activities center. than a year. Opponents of the building believe that thereare other academic needs that must not be ignored, such as the library. According to Dr. Ward Zimmerman, vice chancellor for business affairs, ad­ ditional funds for the library will be re­ quested as well. Another concern of the opposition is the loss of a wooded area on campus that is used for environmental studies. Chan­ cellor Thomas stated that the landscape architect spent a lot of time in deciding most optimum location for the SAC. Editor's Note: 'The Watauga Demo­ crat" contributed to this article.

S tuden' ASU officialsconfirm that the plans for the student activities center will proceed when the government funding is received. The budget decrease for all schools in the UNC system has caused the delay in construction of the project. According to Chancellor John Thomas, all of the chancellors of ASU are going to Raleigh on Feb. 19 to present the project to the legislature.They plan to ask that all cuts be restored. "Further cuts would cost severe degra­ dation," said Chancellor Thomas. The $24.5 million facility will receive approxi­ mately $10 million from the state. The remaining $14.5 million will be pro­ vided through stu­ dent fees and priv ate donations.The SAC will hold 11,500 seats and will be located be­ side the football field.

"We don't want to copy what other schools are doing. Instead, we want to assess our situation and deal with it," he said. The cost to implement theMyers- Briggs test "is still within our budget. It is not going to affect student fees," Coley said. "The finances are not really an issue," Coley stated. He noted that buying the test booklets and making a new residence life application form will cost $2,300, and the money will come out of the residence life budget Coley also stated the increase in student fees would not be used to pay for the Myers-Briggs test.

Coley did not comment on the success the test has had at other schools. 2.113 and 2.143. The defendant pled guilty to all three violations, which were underage alcohol possession, abuse of alcohol, and using a fraudulent I.D. The student received five months of specific probation, the alcohol workshop and a $15 fine. Another student wascharged with two counts of breaking and entering, under­ age possession of alcohol and theft. The defendant pleaded guilty and was given 14 months specific probation, the alcohol workshop and a $15 fine. The last two cases were heard together since they stemmed from the same inci­ dent and involved identical charges. The two students were charged with and pled guilty to Judicial Codes 2.113 (alcohol abuse), 2.129 (underage alcohol posses­ sion), 2.217 (observation of quiet hours) and 2.112 (drunk and disorderly).

By THOMAS RIGGINS Appalachian News Editor U.S. ground and amphibious forces were given orders at the start of the war to be ready to mount a coordinated offensive anytime after Feb. 15, and they are ready, military officials said. The final call on whether and when to launch a ground war will be made by President Bush. But "the table has been set," a senior Army officer said Saturday. "We are in position. We can go anytime. We are very close to the level of destruc­ tion (of Iraqi troops and equipment) that the commanders wanted to see." WAR UPDATE: The intense, month-long air bombings have cut the combat effectiveness of the Iraqi anny virtually in half, one senior military operations officer said. "His army is close to 50 percent destroyed, and the casualties are very high," he continued. With the possibility of ground war growing everyday, theIraqis are suggest­ ing talks. Iraqi Foreign Minister Tariq Aziz met with Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev in Moscow Monday, in what could bethe final chance to avoid aground war in the Persian Gulf. President Bush and his top advisers said Sunday that they welcome the Soviet initiative, but offered little optimism for peaceful settlement. Instead, they underscored the U.S. commitment to drive Iraqi forces from Kuwait. "We are determined to finish this job and do it right...with no concession, no pulling back," Bush told reporters ac­ companying him in Kennebunkport, Maine. Gorbachev is expected to try to get Iraq to cut the strings it attached to a withdrawal offer it made Friday. Iraq said for the first time it would withdraw from Kuwait, but added a number of con­ ditions previously rejected by the allies. In other Gulf War developments, a U.S. Army Apache attack helicopter firing "hellfire" anti-tank missiles destroyed two U.S. armored vehicles, killing two soldiers and wounding six during a predawn skir­ mish. It was the worst "friendly fire" accident since seven U.S.Marines werekilled by an Air Force jet on Jan.29. Friendly fire is a mistake attack on friendly forces. The "Los Angeles Times," quoting unidentified U.S. military officers, re­ ported Sunday that the United States plans to launch a ground and sea attack this week if Iraq does not surrender or agree to • "diplomatic deal" in the next three days. At the U.S. military briefing in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Marine Brig. Gen Richard Neal said the quote was false.

Those pofessors willing to change, Gurin said, "are seeing it as a process of adapting to a new student clientele and new issues and priorities." The subject professors teach was a big factor in their response to multiculturalism, the researchers found. Faculty in the humanities and fine arts were 9 percent more likely than average to report adaptive change. In contrast. professors in the natural and physical sci­ ences were 8 percent more likely to report no change. The most important factor in determin­ ing change, the researchers found, was a faculty member's general ideological stand on affirmative action. Those least sup­ portive of affirmative action policies were 22 percent more likely than average to report no change. Those most supportive of affirmative action were22 percent more likely to report adaptive change. Of those against affirmativeaction, most "were unresponsive," Stassen and Gurin noted. Professors who are against the idea of increasing diversity simply are not re­ sponding to their university's efforts, the researchers said. "Non-responsiveness—rather than ac­ tive opposition—may be the critical issue for administrators looking to increase fac­ ulty support for diversity," they said.

More gravely, a University of Houston J*o lessor warned in December that parents in Michigan might actually end up losing money by investing in the state's college savings plan. The programs are generally sound, as­ serted Christine Paulson of the Education Commission of the Stales, which has studied the state college trusts. Under the programs, which have been The Michigan Education Trust, as the adopted in Florida, Alabama, Wyoming savings plan is called, had a negative net and other states in recent years, parents worth of approximately $11 million at the can put money into a state "trust" now for end of the 1989 fiscal year, reported their children's education.

Horvitz's report is "like Gimbel's put­ ting out a report on Macy's," Michigan State Treasurer RobertBowman, theplan's principal architect, told the Associated Press. Horvitz wrotehis report for the College Savings Bank, which competes with state plans for parents' tuition investment dol­ lars.

I'm not sure exactly why, but I would rather walk a mile than drive. Especially when it comes to parking, I park in the middle of nowhere so that I don't have to use wonderful expertise in parking between tightly packed cars. Maybe I don't like to drive because I don't do it very often (only when I am home for breaks and have to, or else stay home and talk to my cat). Obviously, if I don't drive very often, I can't be extremely good at it. Another probable reason that I don't like to drive is all the strange and annoying road construction. Lately I have been noticing some really absurd developments in the maintenance of roads in my hometown and its surrounding area. I am quite sure that these absurdities are notrestricted simply to my hometown. In fact, Ihave noticed others on the route from Boone tolhere. 26 EJT tion TienI re I! 6 8 p. ubHc Of tilt _ 127, you've inevitably seen the beautiful houses that line the street near downtown Hickory.'

Over 15,000 applications are received each year and only 3,000 volunteers are chosen. The appli­ cation process takes four to nine months. Robinson said, "Countries request Peace Corps volunteers to help with spiecific projects. Our task is matching the p>erson with the right optening. People with specific skills in math, forestry, science, biology, education and health have an advantage in the application process." For liberal arts majors, the wait can be up to two years. Robinson said, "anyone with a sense of adven­ ture, anyone wanting to learn things in a different world should think about the Peace Corps. You see things in a different way after service, you have a better understanding of pxeople, culture and how we all relate.The Peace Corprs helped me get afocuson what is inportant to me."

The living allowance the volunteer receives equals the standard of living of the other members of the community. A 10-12 week training session proceeds the volunteer's service time.An intense six day a week schedule involves technical training about the spe­ cific project to be worked on, a study of speaking the language and the history, culture, politics and religion of the country. Robinson said, "The train­ ing session allows you to begin to understand where they are coming from, what they feel and who they are." The Peace Corps has been active since 1961 and provides service to 70 different countries: 50 per­ cent in Africa, 30 percent Central, South and Latin America, 20 percent Asia and Pacific. Now the Peace Corps is starting to get involved in Central Eastern Europe: Bulgaria, Hungry and Poland. The requirements to be a Peace Corps volunteer are U.S. citizenship, 18 years of age and high school graduation. Robinson said, "In most cases you have to have a four year degree because this is such a highly competitive field." Apptitchmn HI* Photo BLACKJACK ANYONE? Appol Cops leader Kirsten Jorgensen tends the blackjack table on casino night at Legends. Every year freshmen are invited to attend an evening of money-free gambling led by all of the Appol Cops leaders. "Appol Cops leaders wanted" signs have been spxttted on numerous bulletin boards around cam­ pus. Those interested should stop by room 224 Workman Hall to pick up an application. If the name Appol Cops doesn't sound familiar, think of the freshman orientation that goes on three days before classes start in the fall. Being an anxious newcomer often causes freshmen to depend on the fellow students that they see for three days that week.The AppolCops leader supposedly knows where every building is and tours his or her group through the"intricate" paths of ASU. These leaders must have no less than a 2.0GPA, turn in an application and go through an interview to obtain this volunteer job. The pjrocess is still the same today, and Dino DiBemardi, the associate director of the center for student development says, "We are looking for leaders with a positive view of the university, and students who can empathize with the freshman anxieties, basically, the 'cream of the crop'." The program started about 10 years ago based on the voiced concerns of several students. Students felt that the phase one orientation prepared them for their classes but not for their life at college. As SGA Vice-President Daryl Ghent says, "The Appol Cops program acclimates freshmen with the uni­ versity instead of just dropping them off here and letting them go." Last fall, the students toured the campus and were expiosed to the location of their classes and what clubs and organizations were available to them on campus. Then the freshmen were able to talk to a professor to get a good idea of what he expxects in the classroom. Through that experience, their teachers may appear human rather than im­ possible and frightening. "If we're successful," comments DiBernardi, "students will feel less anxious; they will be given the opportunity to establish some friendships, and they'll have agood feel for the student life. It's been piroven that the more the student is involved the betterchance he will have to graduate. We always have evaluations at the end of the week, and the responses have all been positive. The students obviously felt more comfortable about the classes and their options of clubs and organiza­ tions." ( The program is set up to resemble a pyramid of respxmsibilities. The five coordinators this year are James Blanton, Daryl Ghent, ElisaMackie, Suzanne Swanson, and Laurie Wamock. Each coordinator is responsible for about 20 of the App»l leaders. About 90 leaders were accepted last year out of about 120 applicants. The number of applicants they will accep* this year will depend on the size of the incoming freshman class. Ghent comments, "This year we should haveeven better representation because the publication has been upscaled." These 90 leaders will have about 25 students each to direct that week. The deadline for applications is March 1 and the interviews will be the 26, 27, and 28 of February before spring break and the rest will be done after break. The selected applicants will meet one day this spiring. They will arrive at school next fall two days before the freshmen arrive for orientation. "The work is all volunteer and besides getting free meals and two T-shirts, the real paycheck is the leadership experience and the friends that are made," says a coordinator, Elisa Mackie. The idea behind the program is that peers are best to address the concerns of other students. Mackie says, "I encourage students toapply because the volunteer will get so much out of it. They will get to give back to the university through their time and effort." DiBemardi comments, "The Appol Corps leader will be the leader, mentor, and confidant in the three days that they will be with the group. It's a self-rewarding thing. Some of the leaders get calls well on into the year from their freshman students asking questions. There's a certain satisfaction in helping new students." The Quinn Center sponsors a mini health fair Booths featuring various health concerns By RANDALL REININK Appalachina Staff Writer Everyone whohas a body should be interested in keeping it in good shape. When your body goes out on you, you can't get any spare pjarts. Getting accurate information on health and fitness is vital. The Quinn Center will be hosting a mini-health fair on Wednesday, Feb. 20 from 4-9 p.m. The goal of the health fair is to "bring information to the p>eople...and to get them interested in health and fitness,"said Sherry Crane, fitness coordinator at the Quinn Center.The themeof this year's fair will be "Forever Fit." The mini-health fairis sponsored by the Wellness Center, which was created to inprove the quality of life of ASU students. The Wellness Center regularly holds a health fair at the student union in early April. "The health fair presents information, education and prevention for healthy life styles. We present them in many different settings and in high traffic areas (for maximum exposure)," said Kit Olson, Wellness Center director. The health fair held in the student union nor­ mally has 40 to 50 booths. The mini-health fair in the Quinn Center will only have about eight, in­ cluding blood pressure analysis, nutritional analy­ sis, fitness evaluation, biofeedback/stress man­ agement, cholesterol screening andloving carefully. The fair in the student union will have more booths that screen for spiecific problems. All booths will pass out information free of charge. The cholesterol screening booth, however. be set up for students to ask questionswi will have a small charge. Students can visit as many of the booths as they wish. The mini-health fair is held in the Quinn be­ cause its focus is on exercise. The fair is not designed exclusively for those who work out at the Quinn. One goal of the fair is to "bring pieople that don't exercise into the Quirm and (let them) see what we do here and to get them involved," said Crane. All booths are run by students, except for the cholesterol screening booth. This will be run by the Watauga County Health Department. A small fee and a small pin prick will beneeded to evaluate the level of cholesterol in your blood stream. Choles­ terol level is one indicator of the risk of heart disease. Biofeedback/stress management helps contr the amount of stress in students' lives. Biofee back is a process where people learn to contr important body functions by electronic monitorii to help treat stress related illnesses like migraix headaches, ulcers and T.M.J. (the clenching of tl jaw muscles). The loving carefully booth will pass out info mation about safe sex. It will include informatk about sexually transmitted diseases (includir AIDS) and contraception. The booths on blood pressure and fitness eval a tion will take blood pressure and give skin fo tests.

"Parker and Powers are a lot bigger and more physical than we are," Blatt said. Physically, they wore us down." A three-pointer from Ed Ward pulled the Mountaineers within one, 84-83, with 2:45 to play. Billy Ross, who finished with 21 points on the afternoon, then canned a short jumper to give the Apps the lead for good with 2:11 left. Powers made one of two free throw attempts with 13 seconds to play, giving the Mountaineers a 91-88 advantage.The Catamounts made a last gasp effort to send the game into overtime, but Robert Gaines missed adesperation jumper.B. J. Thompson grabbed the rebound for the Cats and laid it in at the buzzer, giving the Apps the 91-90 victory. Western Carolina exploded out of the gate in the second half. The Catamounts took advantage of several Mountaineer turnovers and outscored the Apps 8-0 during the first 3:59 to rush to a 62-43 lead. "I think our first five possessions of the second half were turnover, turnover, turn­ t ~ over, Jeff Williams running one-hander and turnover," Apke said. "We weren't taking care of the ball and getting good shots." The Mountaineers, spuned by Parker and Ross, began to chip away at the Catamounts lead. Parker, who canned 13 of his 17 field goal attempts on the day, scored eight points during a 20-8 Appala­ chian run that sliced the Western lead to 70-63. Ross knocked home seven during the stretch,including one of his two threepointers. Western Carolina stretched the lead back to 10, 78-68, when junior guard Terry Boyd, who led the Cats with 34 points, scored back-to-back buckets with 5:41 to play. Powers and Ross scored four points apiece during a 15-5 Mountaineer surge that closed the gap to 83-80 with 3:18 to play. "Slowly but surely they hung in there," Blatt said. "They went on a spurt." The Catamounts, thanks to 57 percent field goal shooting and 18 free throws, held a 54-43 lead at halftime. "We played well for most of the game," Blatt said.

Furthermore, they scoff at protestors and often accuse them of tearing their country apart and even sympathizing with the enemy. As long as both sides continue to view the situation only one way, the protests will continue, and our nation will remain a divided one. The arguments on both sides have merit, but the more they debate the more I find myself inclined to support the war. Saddam Hussein is a megalomaniac who must be dealt with swiftly and harshly. He is a man who will take a mile if given an inch. He tortures enemy prisoners as well as his own people. He has used poisonous gas against his fellow countrymen (including women and children.)

Having problems with your roommate? Well, the Office of Student iopment has a potential solution. Next year students who wish to be randomly with a roommate will have the option to take the Myersiggs test, a test which types personality.

I THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON As the Persian Gulf War enters its second month, the debate rages on between supporters of American action in the alliance against Iraq and those who oppose it Al­ though it is clear for the time being the majority of Americans support our nation's efforts, there is still a vocal minority who persist with the protests. While the protestors say they are trying to promote peace and cooperation, theyare accusedofbeing unpatriotic by war supporters who see this conflict as the only way a new world order can be established. Neither side really seems to be making a genuine effort to see the others' point of view. Protesters of the war look to history to caution Ameri­ cans against war. They see the conflict as having the potential to become another Vietnam with the United States fighting for business interests. It's a war we could become bogged down in while losing many young people and not really settling anything. Advocates see the war as another WWII.They describe Saddam Hussein as a ruthless despot bent on world conquest. The role of the United States is to stop him and So why doesn't everyone share this view? Why are there those in ourown country whostill make theclaim the United States is fighting for oil? One reason could be the Bush administration's failure to make the reason for American action clear to the people. Over the last several months we have been given several varying reasons for war, ranging from defense against naked aggression to "jobs'' in the words of James Baker. Bush has never done a very good job at making his policy objectives clear to the American people,perhaps because he doesn't fully under­ stand them himself. One can understand the skepticism of some Americans at the notion the United States is doing all this for another nation and giving no thought to the interests of huge oil companies with untold billions of dollars of business being done in the region. After all, the United States does not have the best record of standing up against dictators in recent years. While the Reagan and Bush administrations claimed to be fighting for democracy in Central America, the U.S. government has sent several billion dollars in aid to the brutal dictatorship of Alfredo Chrisiani in El Salvador. Even after it became obvious to the entire world that Ferdinand Marcos was squashing attempts at democracy in the Philippines, Reagan supported him openly. Manuel Noriega was on the CIA payroll for years even though we knew he was a murderous, drug-dealing thug. Several days after thecommunist dictatorship in Chinaslaughtered thousands of people for daring to plead fordemocracy and human freedom, the Bush administration sent a special envoy to Beijing to inform the Chinese the United States planned to do nothing and would continue business as usual. Saddam Hussein also enjoyed strong support from the United States as recently as last July. Our leaders knew of his history of human rights abuses and genocide but chose to ignore this out of convenience and political expediency. One could almost make the case that America has a responsibility to stop Saddam because we played a major role in making him so powerful. Clearly, we are reaping what we have sown. In such unpleasantcase studies we find the reasons why so many Americans are slow to support our government in its latest foreign endeavor. But as protestors ask the question, "How interested would we be in defending Kuwait if there were no oil to be found in the desert country," they miss the point. America is involved in an effort to give the people of Kuwait back their country and the government they want. While the leadership of Kuwait may not be the democracy Americans are used to, it is the government Kuwaitis want. They are entitled to it. When the United States stands up for the right of people to determine their leadership within their country without fear of oppression from tyrants, we are right. Maybe when we are more consistent in standing up for freedom and independence, there will be less opposition from those who feel we only do it when less noble causes are being pursued. Graduate assistantships defended by facts Grad studies are stable next year To the Editor: Although your letter to the chancellor in "The Appalachian" of Feb. 12 was not addressed to me, I wish to take this opportunity to provide you—and other readers of the letter—with some facts related to graduate assistantships at this university. I am extremely sorry that you have been misinformed regarding assistantships for 1991-92. There will most definitely be graduate assistantships. For the past three years, ASU has committed in excess of $1 million for assistantships annually. This amount is not expected to change for 1991-92. We have, in fact, already committed more than $700,000 to assistantships for 1991-92 through the various depart­ ments that house graduate programs. This amount involves assistantships for 150 graduate students; by fall semester of 1991, we will most likely be providing assistantships for an addi­ tional 100 students, thus bringing our total expenditure to over $1 million. We are very sensitive to the financial picture for prospective and continuing graduate students. Almost all of our graduate students and applicants are self-supporting, and their needs for financial assistance are great. It is a fact THE FAR SIDE of life for graduate students all across the country that graduate education is very expensive. It involves, for example, smaller classes for instruction, more intensive faculty time for research projects, extensive library facilities and materials. As we try to help support graduate education and graduate students at Appalachian, we provide over $200,000 of scholarship, tuition and fellowship monies for graduate students. None of us involved in graduate education believe that we have enough money for graduate students, but it is something we work on continually through the ASU Founda­ tion, federal funding sources and the University of North Carolina General Administration. The years ahead will provide an increased emphasis of and support for graduate programs at ASU. The academic administration of the university is committed to that goal. As a graduate of 1988, Mr. Percy, I urge you to reconsider whether or not you would like to apply to the Graduate School at Appalachian. At the very least, I urge you to stop by the graduate school in Walker Hall and talk with us about some of the possibilities that might be available. While it is certainly true that assistantships are limited, we are always pleased to try to put together some kind of financial assistance package for worthy students. Sincerely, Joyce V. Lawrence Dean Graduate Studies and Research By GARY LARSON Paying for SAC is a long-term burden To the Editor: I would like to express an opinion about the spending practices of our university and the governing body that allows this spending. There are three major university branches that are able to approve money spending and fee raising on this campus: Student Government Association, the Board of Governors and the general administra­ tion, including Chancellor John Thomas and the vice-chancellors. The collected body of fee-raising money spenders has now collected student fees for the SAC, which the state has now said we will not receive for at least three years, or may never receive. This leaves the student body paying for the entire building. Granted, the SGA, in all of their wisdom, has promised us we would not pay any more than $14.75 million toward this building, but did they include the fees we pay for bond indebtedness? There is little doubt that the Board of Governors and administration will try a bond referendum in the next year or two to raise the rest of the money for the SAC. In 10 or so years the students will be paying off the interest for these bonds as we are doing now for other bonds. My opinion is that the SGA should have been acting as a check on unwanted, unneeded and fraudulent spending by the other two (non-paying) fee-raising bodies. I do not feel that they acted in this manner. I feel a great need to reconsider this fee increase, redirect the funds already acquired to the library and drop fees for next year. I do not agree with the administration's opinion that we need this building for space when we run classes in Rankin and other buildings until 10 p.m. I do not agree with the opinion that we need to accept this money because the state is giving us a gift. Gifts do not cost you to receive them, and gifts are given to you, not held back until a later, if any, date. It is up to the SGA to lead us in a direction best suited to the needs of this school. Hopefully the other organiza­ tions will follow their leads. They must make honorable decisions. Jeanne Appelget ASU Box 8797 Conservative students slammed for stance To the Editor. The Secret Elephant Aerial Grounds Buzzard beatniks "Students for America," as they like to call themselves, are just another example of extremists who like to force their opinions, or "morals" as they like to call them, on the majority of decent U.S. citizens.1suggest they change their name to "Students for Big; Brother and Jesse Helms."! am a student, and I am definitely for America, but this group of closed-minded fascists certainly don't speak for me! I call them fascists because they believe their way is the only way. For example, they want to make abortion illegal for everyone. I don't want to get into an abortion argument because I certainly am not for abortion. These people simply don't realize outlawing abortion will be the cause of even more deaths than the abortions themselves because women will continue to get them illegally. The unwanted children who are bom will have to grow up poor, unloved and ready to face a harsh, vastly over­ crowded world. The world is already much too crowded now. Hey, why don't you "Students for America" take a trip to the moon to make room for all these new babies? The interesting comment from their vice-chairman (dictator), Jeff Cox, was, "The members are conservative because of their Christian beliefs." Exactly who are you basing your Christianity on? Jesus was a very liberal guy who was killed by closed-minded people like yourself. If Jesus were around today, I think he would flip out if he heard you say Christians can't be liberal. Is Christianity such a political event? Who do you think you are saying true Christians have to be conservative? Are you God? Excuse me if you are. Jesus always taught non-violence, the Golden Rule and acceptance of all people regardless of lifestyle or beliefs. By stressing a strong national defense (lots of money for bombs and no money for people) and free enterprise, you are contradicting yourself when you say you are a true Christian. Free enterprise is basically evil because, unlike democracy, everyone is not equal. Instead, it's basically a dog-eat-dog system where the end justifies the means. The secretary of Students for America said, "We like to stress education on issues facing our country." Unfortunately, this was written right after it was mentioned the group would watch "The Silent Scream." This video was made by prolifers, and it is strictly one-sided propaganda and not an educational film that examines both sides of the issue. Education involves studying other cultures and opening your mind to new things. « ;| ' \ |\ I Another statement by the secretary is, "America must return to the JudeoChristian values...to regain heT moral See LETTERS page 10 J �The Annularhian Tuesday Fehrunry 19 jqqj Letters Classifieds Continued from page 9 i strength as the leader of the free world." In my opinioa it is these Judeo-Christian values that got us into this mess in the first place. The JudeoChristian tradition puts man at the top above all other tilings (animals, plants, the earth). This is a reason why there is massive environmental destruction. Until everyone in our "free enterprise" realizes life is a web of interconnected events (the forests=the birds=the algae=the fungi=the bears=the water=woman=man), the world will not be any better off than it is now. Let me point out the Judeo-Christian tradition also believed in slavery and thought women were one step above the beasts. The "Students for America" need to wake up to reality and quit forcing their views on others.

ASU has not felt it necessary to call indents back or the students have not jjprcssed any desire to return to the states Ken with war raging in the Persian Gulf. According to Dr. Lawrence E. Horine, lector of international studies, "None ASU students) have wanted to come •."Currently there are ASU students Undying in Latin America, Asia and feiem Europe. Horine explained that right now no decision needs to be made on calling Undents back to the states or cancelling liitnre study abroad programs. "We've aid good reports from students in the Sudy abroad programs," Horine said. A strength of the ASU system is that indents are integrated into the universits of other countries. The students are Kieasily identified because they are not grouped togetheras Americans,explained Horine. UNC-Charlotte has seen "very little negative affect" due to the Persian Gulf war, according to Elizabeth Adams, co­ ordinator of study abroad programs. Adams said that "There has been no impact onthe summerprograms" because of the war. Adams went on to say, "We don't plan to cancel any study abroad programs, but we willcontinuc to monitor the situation. None of the participating UNC-Charlotte students are in programs close to the Middle East or Africa. The war has not affected the future enrollment in UNC-Charlottc's study abroad programs. Adams said they are seeing the same number of applications as usual. However, some universities have felt it necessary to call their students back. Georgetown University closed its pro­ grams in Turkey and Italy, and told stu­ dents studying in Israel and Cairo to come home even before hostilities broke out, according to Georgetown spokes­ man Anne Jones. "That just wreaked havoc on all the other (school's) programs, " said Joan Solaun, study abroad office director at the University of Illinois at Champaign. When overseas students from other colleges heard Georgetown calling students back, they panicked and called their own offices asking if they should come home, Solaun explained. Solaun felt bringing students home from mostplaces might be unnecessary, despite warning from the State Department that all Americans traveling abroad might be ter­ rorist targets. "It's a time for calm and prudence,"she said, adding that Illinois is taking a "wait and see" attitude with its students abroad, except for those in Israel. This is the same approach ASU and UNC-Charlotte are taking. Horine said, "We're in limbo right now, there's no problem." Adams noted that UNC-Charlotte is in a "holding period" and monitor­ ing the situation. Editor's Note: College Press Services contributed to this article. Recession predicted to last DONNA HAMPTON achian Staff Writer lomic predictions warn that the resent economic slump will rival the cessionof 1981-82.

A University of Michit V °f consumer buying intentions showed its sharpest decline in 'ugh consumer spending usually three percent a year, analysts 1 Uy 1 'o rise by a mere one percent in Adding to the gloom of a recession is the enormous amountofdebt accumulated during the 1980s, which is significantly higher than that whichpiled up during the 1920s. In the past dec ade, the federaldebt rose by 243 percent, consumer debt in­ creased by more than 127 percent and corporate debt rose by 120 percent. Another "U.S. News and World Re­ port" article warns white-collar workers against feeling overly secure in their jobs, as they may have in previous recessions. Sinai predicts, "This recession promises to be cruel to white-collar workers because it is spreading into services like banking and law where they predominate." In December, 50,000 jobs were lost in retail trade, and 17,000 were lost in business services including advertising, public relations and computers and data processing. Experts predict no new jobs for finance, insurance and real estate pro­ fessionals in 1991. Thus, the average length of unemployment is expected to reach nine months this year, compared with 4.8 months during the 1982 reces­ sion. According to an article in'Thc Winston -Salem Journal," the Triad is experienc­ ing an economic downturn similar to the national one. Michaux H. Crocker, a Winston-Salem area executive for First Union National Bank, said in ancconomic previewfor 1991 thattheTriad economy faces "higher unemployment, anemic retail sales and fewer housing starts." For example, total employment in the Triad decreased by 19,000 jobs in 1991, with 22,400 people searching for jobs by the year's end. According to Crocker, middle-managers, highly skilled manu­ facturing workers and construction workers are facing difficulty finding work in the current economic climate. Crocker predicted total employment growth in 1991 and a decline in the un­ employment rate after midyear. According to "The Winston-Salem Journal," two companies announcedexten­ sive layoff Monday. First, US Air plans to dismiss 3,585 employees in an effort to curtail its record losses of S454 million last year. The dismissal of employees is • an attempt to reduce their biggest cost: labor. Although the newest layoffs have tar­ geted 4,000 employees working in service centers, 1,400 jobs in catalog operations and 2,800 jobs in distribution and trans­ portation, no workers in the Triad are ex­ pected to lose their jobs. However, analyst for "U.S. News and World Report," offer several precaution­ ary strategies for graduates as well as those already in the work force: do freelance work to generate expertise and contacts; explore "recession-proof' industries; and scout out positions within your own com­ pany. When prospects in one's particular field of expertise are gloomy, workers are ad­ vised to interview with job-search firms that specialize in other industries. Often skills can be applied to careers in industries less affected by recessions. Finally, companies being forced to eliminate jobs to commend and look fa­ vorably upon employees who are either willing to assume added responsibilities or arc flexible enough to work in other areas.

AppHMChmn Photo by Randall Reinink LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT ONE: ASU students Kendra Woodruff and Bonnie Van Nuys are looking for that perfect card for that special someone in the University Bookstore. The approach of Valentine's Day has many students visiting florist and card shops to buy special suprises. Woodruff commented, "I was looking for a Valentine's Day card for my roommate, who's been sick and kind of down in the dumps. I thought a card might brighten her day." Cupid shoots the heart of ASU By RANDALL REININK Appalachian Staff Writer Today is Feb. 14, a day when millions of Americans take a moment to tell a loved one how they feel. Around the ASU community, several local merchants are giving folks the op­ portunity to do just that. Cards and candies are the most obvious items in demand this time of the year. Cards are easy to get. You can get one between classes at the University Book­ store or you can go to any drug store in Boone. They are all well stocked with cards and candies. If you are really in need you may even get a small stuffed animal, also found in any local drug store. Flowers can also be considered. Red roses seem to be the flower of choice. The most common number appears to be 12. King Street Florist is selling a dozen roses (arranged in a vase) for $59.99. Customers who pre-paid before Feb.ll saved $10. Heaven Scent Flowers has a dozen roses for $47.99, and Flowers Express will send a box of roses for $39.95. However, for those who can't afford a dozen, a single rose in a bud vase can be had for $9.99. All florists have an additional $3 in-town delivery charge. Grocery stores have also gotten in on Valentine's Day. A&P has a dozen roses for $19.99, but they do not deliver. Other stores also have flowers and potted pi ants. Roses aren't always necessary. There are other options. Flower baskets at King Street Florists start at $25. Any local florists will be able to supply various flower needs. Those planning a romantic night out, can go first class in a rented Tri-Cities limousine. The cost is approximately S40-S65/per hour. The $65 coach is a white stretch limo capable of carrying six people and comes equipped with a fully stocked bar and a VCR. Restaurants around Boone and Blow­ ing Rock also cater to the Valentine's Day crowd. Rob's restaurant, located in the Sheraton, has an all you can eat lunch buffet (reservations are suggested) and dancing with Dixie Dawn. Depot Street Bar and Grill is within walking distance of campus and will be having a 2 for 1 special. Burgers and sandwiches start at $2.50. For ready-made class, style and atmo­ sphere you can go to The Hearthsidc Restaurant at the Chetola resort in BlowingRock. Special Valentine's Day entrees start at $18.95. If you have forgotten all else, A.P.P.S. comes to your rescue. The modem ro­ mantic hit "Pretty Woman" is playing in I.G. Greer tonight at 7 and 9:30 p.m. If you can wait until Saturday, the Blowing Rock Parks and Recreation De­ partment is having a family dinner dance. Tickets will cost $10 per person. For more information on the dance, go by the Blowing Rock Chamber of Commerce. ^udent government amends position on SAC Laundry bill vetoed ^kCEY coffron [ lan Staff Writer j ^|jCnale amended a resolution KJ. clanfy the student the sS s!atemer" °f position confcerinjt p * Jones Student Activities Ml;.5, eb 12 meeting.

The bill now more clearly stales that the university will match only the amount given to it from state funding and clarifies that it is not responsible for the difference between the promised appropriations and the actual appropriations. "We don't want that money (the differ­ ence) tocome from the students—we want it to come from outside sources," Ghent said. Due to last month's funding freeze, Ghent plans to have a speaker come in to answer thesenators' questionsconcerning the possible effects of the freeze. The students need to know exactly what is happening with the SAC," he explained. In other business. Kappa Kappa Psi and the Bachelor of Technology Club, were recognized as new clubs on campus. Kappa Kappa Psi is a national honor fraternity for band members, which is designed to provide a smooth transition from high school to college music pro­ grams. It plans to give recognition to outstanding musicians, while creating a union among members, according to a representative from Kappa Kappa Psi. Although there are already two music fraternities on campus, Phi Mu Alpha and Sigma Alpha Iota, there seems to be a void which Kappa Kappa Psi can fill. Matt Williford, Frank Residence Hall representative, states that he is in favor of the new fraternity"because it is open to all band members and is not just limited to music majors." The second organization recognized by the SGA was the Bachelor of Technol­ ogy Club. ASU is one of the first schools in the country to start this program, ac­ cording to Senator Randy Yelton. The club is designed for students who have transferred to ASU from community colleges with associate degrees. Senator Jim Stemper commented that the program will help "community college transfer students to get accustomed to the envi­ ronment and form a type of support group." In a discussion at the closing of the meeting, Mike Scales addressed the con­ troversy concerning the new leash laws, stating that "there will always be a popu­ lation thatdoesn'tlike what you'redoing." He advised senators to remain positive and told them the decision was being supported by the administration. By AMANDA NELSON Appalachian News Editor According to Scales they are not yet in position where they're losing enough to affect their operation. SGA President Mike Scales vetoed SenateBill024-015, which recommended charging students a set feeof $25 a semes­ ter for laundry services, citing the bill and the circumstances surrounding the bill were confusing. "A lot of questions remained unan­ swered. .. I didn't do this (vetoing the bill) to put pressure on the senate. I did this because I thought it would benefit the students," Scales said. "The current system works, but it's not perfect. That's why the university is look­ ing into alternatives," Scales said. While actual figures were not available at press time. Scales added it does appear the laundry services are losing money but are still operating above cost. It was also noted by Scales that the senate did not have the power to increase student fees. This decision is left up to the Board of Trustees, of which Scales is a member. After the bill was passed by the senate, information was revealed that Scales said "would test the validity of the bill." The laundry services are losing S18,000 annually due to wash loads not paid for. Scales said the laundry bill is dead because of his veto and if the S25 increase does come about it will come out of the See LAUNDRY page 2 �Police suggest they may have found Florida killer:Gainsville, Fla. (CPS)—While refusing to say he's about to charge someone with the murders of five students in and around the University of Florida campus last August, Gainesville Police Chief Wayland Clifton suggested Jan. 24 that his department may have solved the case. Responding to questions that police have settled on Louisiana resident Danny Harold Rolling, 36, jailed in Ocala, Fla., on robbery charges since September, as aprime suspect in the murders, Clifton said, "I think the community can feel at great ease at this point."

A record 7.1 percent said they planned to take part in campus protests. At that time, only 16 percent of the tirst-year students had joined in high school demonstrations. Only 4.1 percent planned to march in college. The survey was conducted by the Uni­ versity of California at Los Angeles' (UCLA) Higher Education Research In­ stitute and the American Council on Education, and was taken before the war in the Persian Gulf began. Despite the survey'sresults, not every­ one sees a change in the activity level of new students.

Interest in business careers and busi­ ness-related careers declined, while teaching careers and post-graduate edu­ cation increased in popularity. But some students themselves disagree that materialism is decreasing. Many seem to believe their classmates are just as materialistic as prior classes, if not more so. Students today "see what students got in the '80s and they want just as much, if not more," said Darrin Parsons, a sopho­ more at Big Bend Community College in Washington. The environment and racial discrimi­ nation appear to be students' top concerns, as they were last year. The survey found 87.9 percent of stu­ dents believe "the federal government is not doing enough to control environmen­ tal pollution." Fewer students admitted to being mate­ rialistic. While the number of first-year students whose goal was "being very well off financially" increased steadily from And nearly four out of five students disagreed with the statement "racial dis­ crimination is no longer a major problem in America."

At first listen, this album bears some resemblance tohis lasteffort "Nearly Human" (1989). But upon further ex­ amination, this album has some differ­ ences all its own. As with his last album, Rundgren has allowed other musicians besides himself to play on the album. This is quite a change for amusician, who until recently, always handled everything onhis records, from writing to producing and playing all the instruments. Why is Rundgren having otner musi­ cians play parts he could play himself? Probably because he is tired of doing everything. Playing all the instruments, as well as producing and writing the songs is incredibly time-consuming and tiresome for one musician. With letting others play, Rundgren can now concentrate more on the overall production sound of the al­ bum. The lineup on "2nd Wind" is similar to that of his last record: Lyle Workman on guitar, Prarie Prince on drums, Bobby Strickland on sax and long-time friend Roger Powell on keyboards. These mu­ sicians are joined by ex-Journey bassist Ross Vallory and three female vocalists: Michele Gray, Shandi Sinnamon, and Jenni Muldaur. In the past, Rundgren has been accused of sometimes "overproducing" his solo records. But with Rundgren surrendering his musical talents to other studio veter­ ans, the result is a more open, live sound. He hasn't duplicated this sound since side four of "Something/Anything" from 1972, the last time he enlisted other mu­ sicians to help on a solo record. "2nd Wind" is primarily keyboardladen pop, typical of his recent material. But where his last record, "Nearly Hu­ man" showed Rundgren content and re­ laxed, "2nd Wind" finds him searching within himself, as in the song "Change Myself." "If I want more peace in the world/ Then I must make peace with myself/ If I want more love in the world/I must show more love to myself," the lyrics of "Change Myself' say. Not only is Rundgren unhappy with himself, but also with the world around him,as in his shot at politicians, the angry rocker "Public Servant:" "Public servant/Public slave/It's one big longside from the cradle to the grave," the lyrics of "Public Ser­ vant" say. The album also finds Rundgren openly exploring his Philadelphia soul roots in "Who's Sorry Now" and getting funky on "Love Science." "2nd Wind" also includes three songs from a musical Rundgren wrote called "Up Against II" These songs show a side of Rundgren not seen before on other al- 'J bums. But the songs, placed right in the middle of thedisc, seem toruin the album's continuity (going from the mellow "Who's ! Sorry Now" to "The Smell of Money," definite show tune, seems a little strange), j It's nice to hear a different side of Rundgren, but the . show tunes might i have been better re- ; ceived if they were j included on soundtrack to his < musical, rather than '. placed in the middle •{ of his album. For you compact • disc fans, the album was recorded, mixed, J and transferred to j compact disc in digi­ tal, making for a su- < perb sounding al- f bum. As a side note, Rundgren apparently recorded an acoustic < song called "Jesse," about Senator Jesse Helms, for the album, but then decided to ; omit it from the package because it didn't fit with the rest of the record. "2ndWind"showsthatTodd Rundgren j hasn't lost any of his pop wizardry, and with his "second wind," it looks like we'll be hearing great musicfor a while tocome. aj 66 a1 The album finds Rundgren openly exploring his Philadel­ phia soul roots. 99 Faith tested in parody of Job Will Joe Benjamin renounce God in the face Special to the Appalachian Would the threat of nuclear holocaust, economic disparity, family tragedy and chronic itching be enough to allow one man to renounce God? That is the question currently being asked as the department of theatre and dance prepares for its third production of the 1990-91 theater season. "God's Favorite" is Neil Simon's comic reworking of the Book of Job. Updated to the present, the play follows the trials and tribulations of millionaire Joe Benjamin, who proceeds to lose everything he values in the name of God. The scene is Benjamin's extravagant home on the exclusive North Shore district of Long Island, N.Y. The living room walls are adorned with great works of art, and the furniture is meticulously chosen and arranged. Nothing is out of place; everything is in harmony. At the center of this empire is Joe Benjamin. In his late 50s, Benjamin is occupied by his business, his wife, a pair of ditzy twins and a rotten prodigal son, I i David. David's arrival shocks his father, but it is the arrival of the enigmatic Sidney Lipton that sets the action of this play forward. Lipton is a messenger with bad news. God and Satan have made a gentleman's wager. It seems Satan believes mortal man will renounce the name of God if faced with enough adversity. God, of course, disagrees and capriciously chooses Benjamin to make his point. For Benjamin, Lipton's message is like a deranged letter from Ed McMahon, only Ed is God and Benjamin must lose every­ thing to win salvation. What follows is a hilarious and touching test of faith in which Benjamin and his family releam old truths while battling tennis elbow and hemorrhoids. Benjamin's story, as was Job's, is our own. Simon's material is engaging and challenging, revealing his comedy and spiritual depth. It is a play which will entertain the entire family. In this production, senior Charley Belcher will play Benjamin. Rose Ben­ jamin will be played by Sheli Ridolph. qJ ? adversity: 'A David will be played by Andrew Lakin, most recently seen on the Chapel Wilson stage as James Leeds in Mark Medoff's "Children of a Lesser God." Chet Longley and Angie Allen will play the eccentric twins, Ben and Sarah Benjamin. Darrell King, who is also contributing the production'sposter design, will play Sidney Lipton. Rounding out the cast will be Lorena Lawrence (Mady) and Robin Martine (Morris). Scenery and lights will be designed by Becky Manning, technical director and instructor in the department of theatre and dance. The costumes will be created by facul ty designer Martha A. M arking. Wally White will stage manage. Under the direction of instructor Teresa Lee, "God's Favorite"will run Feb. 18-25, beginning eachnight at8 p.m. in I .G. Greer Arena Theatre.

The movie opens in 1984 with thehappy American family living in Michigan and moves almost immediately to their "twoweek" vacation in Iran. This quick shift does not give the audience enough time to identify with the characters. As a result, Betty's husband Moody, played by Alfred Molina, seems to be just that—moody. He goes from being the ideal husband and father in America to an intensely possessive and dogmatic mad­ man on the brink of murdering his wife in Iran. Moody the madman has brief flash­ backs to his American personality. The audience is supposed to attribute the drastic shi ft in personality to religious, family, andcultural re-indoctrinationonce Moody arrives home. However, since I never saw a trace of Moody the madman in America, I have a hard time accepting this metamorphoses. It is also unclear whether Moody premeditated the kidnap­ ping or decided upon it after re-indoctri­ nation. Betty evolves from being naive, com­ pletely trusting and bordering on dumb in America to strong, determined and ma­ nipulative in Iran. I was amazed that a woman married to an Iranian for seven years with apprehensions about vacation­ ing in Iran could know so little about the region and its culture. It seems like she might look up Iran in the encyclopedia or something before traveling halfway around the world. Her lack of knowledge was made up through determination to leave. I blame the drastic character shifts not on the actors or their perfor­ mances but on the script and possibly the editing. Although I have some problems with the movie, overall I really enjoyed it. Betty's story provides a glimpse of life in Iran during the Iran/Iraq war. She lived for almost two years amidst air-raids and with an abusive husband in a authoritative culture and was able to escape with herdaughter! It ishard not to admire her and feel inspired. My Daughter"is an entertaining movie relating the gripping es­ cape story of Betty Mah­ moody. It high­ lights the stark contrast in val­ ues and way of life between the Middle East and the West and demonstrates how, given the initiative, one can break free from oppression. Director Terry Rawlings filmed much of the movie on location in Dali a Hovers, Israel, giving audiences some beautiful Editor's Note: "Not Without My Daughter" is rated PG-I3 and plays daily at The Flick. scenery of the Middle East. This is a wel­ come sight after the barrage of rubble and destruction TV audiences have seen lately . in the news. The spine-tingling new age music by Jerry Goldsmith playing during the escape scenes is espe­ cially effective. Traditional Ira­ nian music is played in the background during therest of the movie. "Not Without u "Not Without My Daugh­ ter" highlights the stark contrast in values and way of life between the Middle East and the West and demonstrates how, given the initiative, one can break free from op­ pression. 99 �The Appalachian.

The Appalachian State Lady Moun­ taineers dropped art 80-67 Southern Conference contest inChattanooga, Tenn. to the league's top team, the Lady Mocca­ sins of the University of TennesseeChattanooga. The loss dropped ASU's record to 1011 overall and 4-5 in the SC, good for a fourth-place standing. UT-Chattanooga (18-4 overall, 6-1 in the conference) took advantage of 26 Ap­ palachian turnovers and 33-percent shooting by the Lady Apps to defeat ASU for the second time in as many meetings this year. This contest was a stark improvement for ASU Head Coach Linda Robinson's team, however. In the first meeting, Chattanooga whipped Appalachian by 33 points in Varsity Gym. "Basically, we have improved, but the first game was the best game they've (UTC) played all year, and it was the worst game we've played all year, and maybe ever in the conference," Robinson said. The Lady Mocs, thanks largely to ASU's 25.9 percent first-half field-goal shooting, built an 11 -point halftime lead, 35-24. In the second half, ASU was able to shoot the ball a little better (39.4 percefit), but ^wasn't enough to ever pose much of threat to the Moccasins'lead. Robinson pointed to a couple of keys as the difference inthegame. "We allowed too many offensive boards," Robinson said. "We didn't block out too well, and we just weren't able to keep them from getting second shots." "Also, defensively I wasdisappointed. We did a fair job on everyone, but we didn'tdo a good job on anyone.They had five players with at least 13 points." Leading the way for UTC was Julie Copeland, who finished with 17 points, three steals and two rebounds. Moccasin Nancy Smith recorded a triple double with 13points, 12rebounds and 11 assists. Six of Smith's rebounds came on the offensive end and she also came up with four of Chattanooga's 19 steals. "She (Smith) had a super day," Robinson said. "She had a lot of steals, and we didn't do a good job of keeping her off the boards. She's a small, quick player; she's a little fireball out there, but I don'tthink it was a case where we couldn't stop her. We just didn't do a good job of keeping her off the offensive boards." ASU point guard Karen Gruca was the Lady Apps' lop scorer with 15 points,.bul she was guilty of four turnovers while dishing out only three assists. Shannon Thomas scored 10 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, but shot just two of nine from the floor and was guilty of a game-high eight turnovers. Robinson said, "I think we played just fair, just average; maybe even a little be­ low average." Robinson did, however, cite the play of ASU's Uzzie Cannon, who came off the bench to score 10 points, claim five re­ bounds, pick up two steals and commit only one turnover in 15 minutes ofplaying time. "The brightest spot for us was the play of Uzzie Cannon off the bench," Robinson said. Despite the loss, Robinson thinks Ap­ palachian still has a good chance of fin­ ishing among the league's top twoor three teams heading in to theconference tourna­ ment. "All the conference is a mess right now," Robinson explained. "We're tied for fourth right now, but it's real easy to see than anyone can still come in second." The ASU Mountaineer wrestling team traveled to Virginia last weekend and emerged victorious in two matches, de­ feating Virginia Military Institute 28-15 and Liberty 29-19. On Friday Feb. 8, the Apps rebounded from a home loss to Tennessee-Chatta­ nooga, to defeat the Keydets of VMI2815. "The kids wrestled pretty well in the match," ASU Head Coach Paul Mance said.

The Mountaineer's leading scorer of the year, junior Steve Spurlock, sprained his ankle in the first half and was sidelined for the remainder of the contest.

"They made some runs in the second half," Apke said. "We got a little sloppy.

After the break, the Bulldogs were unable to close the gap into single digits. The first half scoring binge began with 3:10 remaining as ASU senior guard Ed Ward popped a three-pointer from the right wing. Mountaineer reserve center Bruce Falkner then scored six inthe closing minutes and forward RickyNedd recorded four including a dunk following a steal. ASU Head Coach Tom Apke said de­ fense was the key for his Mountaineers. "With the score 44-24 at the half, I told them (the ASU players) that the 24 was the more important number," Apke said. "Going into the game, I knew we had to do two things," Apke said. "A - weneeded to defend against their three-point shoot­ ing. It is hard for us, as a big team, to go out and guard the perimeter. Secondly, in the first game, we guarded the threepoint shots but we (didn't) react after the shot. We (didn't) rebound well." The Mountaineers out-rebounded the Dogs 22-15 in the opening 20 minutes and held the Dog of­ fense to 31.4 percent shooting from the field and 12.5 per­ cent (one for eight) three-point shooting in the half. For the game, the Dogs shot 27.3 per­ cent from outside the three-point arc, hit­ ting six of 22, while they canned just 36.4 percent from the entire field.

ASU's Bill Baker pinned VMI's Brian Browning in the 167-pound encounter and John Reynolds pinned the Keydets Kit Badger in the 190-pound battle to clinch the victory for the Mountaineers. The Mountaineers then went to Lynchburg, Va. the next day and cap­ tured a 29-19 victory over Liberty. "We wrestled better against Liberty than we did against VMI," Mance said. "Liberty is probably the third strongest team in Virginia." "It was better that we wrestled Friday than if we didn't," Mance added. "Our kids were ready for the match. We even held a practice Saturday morning before we left VMI." AS U seized control of the match early, capturing victories in the first three weight-classes in the contest. Brady French (118) won by forfeit; Calloway, who shifted to the 126-pound class, pinned Liberty's Joe Maddox and Morris (132) scored a technical fall over Bubba Ferguson. The teams split the next four weight classes with Liberty's Bob Harrington (142) and Christian Holiday (158) emerging victorious, while Hines (150) and Baker (167) garnered wins for the Apps.

FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON T7T A new disease has swept across the American land­ scape. Thediseasehasonlyhittheyouthofthenation,but the effect is devastating. The disease is "Peter Pan Syndrome." The main symptom is the desire not to become an adult in society. Other signs include a lack of commitment to anything, no serious goals in life and a constant desire to have fun. Do you have "Peter Pan Syndrome?" The postponement of adulthood has been noticed by many in America today. The U.S. university system has become "high school IT' for too many students. Afraid to face the world and become an adult, they flock to the universities, not only to get an education, but also to hold on to the "fun." "As the 20th century winds down, more young Americans are enrolled in college, but fewer are graduating— and they are taking longer to get their degrees," states Newsweek in an article entitled "Young Beyond Their Years." Life is put on hold. Let the party continue. Many students have deceived themselves into thinking they are adults, when actually they are only grown-ups. "'Grown-up' happens automatically; 'adult' takes effort" says theology and English teacher William O'Malley in "America" magazine. Grown-up is when the body attains physical maturity. Adulthood, however, requires con­ blast from the dorms with no thought by the owner about the others who may not want to listen to his music. Alcohol is abused. Coeds end up with pregnancies they didn't expect. Their boyfriends, being extremely noncommittal, tell them to deal with it themselves. In this "live-for-the-moment" society the media has hypnotized us with, the acquisition of things becomes more important than the acquisition of knowledge. A person's worth is summed up by what he owns. In the '70s, several American sociologists warned that the young were becoming expert consumers long before they were learning how to produce on a job. If a job is held in high school, the money earned is usually spent on cars, movies, stereos or CD's. University of Michigan re­ searcher Jerald Bachman says this generation has "pre­ mature affluence." We're used to living at a high income level because of our parents. Instead of giving up the luxuries of home, many 20-to 30-year-olds still live with their parents. We've become professional consumers, and we don't want to stop. It's time we stopped trying to hold on to high school and get on with life. Involvement, accountability and standing for something are needed in this nation. Even our classes should be analyzed. Are we taking certain classes for knowledge, or because they'll help us hold on to our teenage habits in the long run? We can't confuse pleasure with happiness. Pleasure is a high that comes from an experience, but it fades quickly. Too many Satwday nights are spent looking for pleasure. Once found, however, it disappears in the wind. Happi­ ness continueson. It is not a destination. Happiness is the struggle toward the goals that we cherish. A good life should be the goal, not an ethereal good time. Living for the five senses is empty. We need to wakeup from our trivia agenda and assume the position in society reserved for us as adults. Many excellent ex­ amples of adult students are found in all disciplines here at ASU. Those who want to stay in the high school mode will be left behind with their "toys" while the rest will As we grow-up, the"toys" we play with get bigger and move on to shape the business, education and science better, but the character needed to handle these toys is world. Don't push the pause button on your life. Beware woefully lacking in the average college student. Stereos of "PeteT Pan Syndrome." scious effort. An individual must choose to be an adult. The difference between grown-up and adult is a matter of being responsible and accountable for yourself and your actions—no excuses and no lies. It's easy to think we are adults because we can drive cars, perform sexually, drink beer and live away from home while at school. We own stereos, video equipment and modem clothes. These factors, however, only prove one's age and parental income, not emotional maturity. O'Malley hits the nail on the head when he says,"Every adult has character, and 'character' involves a great many qualities the young have always found irksome: com­ mitment, accountability, involvement." Being an adult is more thanjust a series of purchases, parties andexperiences. It's standing for something and being aware of others. It's being committed to long term goals. The attitude of being "committed to non-commitment" is reflected in many areas of our environment. The pregnancy out of wedlock figures show a lack of moral commitment and courage by both sexes. Currently, more than one American child in five is bom out of wedlock, 40 percent of them to teenagers. Another reflection is a soaring abortionrate. More than two thirds of all abortions are performed on single women under the age of 27. With thesefigures in mind, psychoanalystGlenGabbard of the Menninger Clinic said, 'The ease with which they (these women/girls) choose to abort reflects a disturbing sense of self-absorption and an alarming indifference to the moral gravity of their actions and an inability to make commitments." Living for the moment, they slowly erode their future. The number of men and women living together also reflects the lack of commitment in today's society. Not wanting to be"tied down," more people enjoy the married life without marriage. Half of all men and women in their 30's cohabitated before marriage. The divorce rate is also 50 percent The latest figures show 2.6 million couples live together out of wedlock, over one million of these couples with children. Lasting relationships require true love By KEN TRAINO Appalachian Staff Writer What is love? Does anybody really know? I'm suremany of us have pondered that question time and time again. I know I have. Love is a noun, a verb, or an adjective all depending on the context being used. A noun use would be saying "I have love for you." An adjective use would be someone who is loveable. As a verb, you can love your country. You can love your clothes. You can love your car and even your dog. However, this kind of love doesn't even come close to the love of another human being. A dictionary definition of love is "in­ tense affection" and "a feeling of attrac­ tion resulting from sexual desire" (Webster's II New Riverside Dictionary). What does a dictionary know about love? Obviously, by the definition it gave, not very much. My grandparents knew what love is. They were married for years before my grandmother died. I'm sure in Grandpop's mind, he still feels he's mar­ ried. After a survey of about 50 people I got a wide range of responses to what love is, what makes a relationship work, what defines trust, what the ideal date is and similar questions. I am about to share some of the views plus some of my own. A relationship between a girlfriend/ boyfriend is hard to define. Most rela- tionships start by an introduction, by & blind date, by meeting a person from class, by seeing someone at the library, or even when you're doing your laundry. A friendship then occurs between the two people. Let us set a scene with a couple named Jack and Diane. For some back-ground information, they both are 20 years old and they met at Legends night club. Jack spies our Diane on the dance floor and manages to get her name and phone number. Eventually he decides to give her acall. Itis my understanding guys like to know there will be a "yes" answer before the question arises. Not in all cases, mind you. Our couple starts dating and we have a developing romance. Now isn't that sweet? For Jack and Diane to keep their ro­ mance brewing they will needa few things. We can assume they have a desire to be together, so we can assume they are able to be open and honest with each other. Communication and trust are the two biggies. Communication helps them to express themselves without the fear of hurting eachother. Trust is confidence. It is putting your faith into a person and not worrying about what someone is doing when you're not around. Jack and Diane, for lack of argument's sake, are the perfect couple. Okay, maybe not perfect, but very compatible. They trust each other. They're loyal. They're open and honest with one another, and everything is going great. Sexual attrac­ tion has developed. One monkey wrench in the system. Should they or shouldn't they? Yes? No? Maybe? Sex can make or break a relationship. I know because I 've seen it happen. Sex could make the relationship a stronger one or it could totally destroy it. Jack and Diane are now in love and intimately involved. Well now, isn't that special? Maybe it is not to us, but to them, it's probably one of the greatest things in the world. Love is strange. Love is sharing and giving everything you can but not want­ ing anything in return. You want to be with a person every waking moment and hate it when you can't be near him or her. Ninety percent of people in love have blinders on when it comes to their part­ ners' faults. They do not want to recog­ nize them because it might hurt too much. However, it takes two to tango so if one is doing the cha-cha and one is doing the waltz, it's time to reassess and make a change. Gentlemen, today is Valentine's Day. Surprise your girlfriend for once. Take some of that beer money you've got stashed in the mattress and buy a card and a rose. Remember though, a red rose stands for love. So if you're just friends with a girl, a white or pink rose would be more appropriate. Maybe the two of you could have an ideal date. Be romantic and sentimental and have a dinner at a fancy restaurant. Go dancing, or go see a movie, and spend money. The ladies can also be romantic and do something out of the ordinary for their guy. I know most of us are bozos and jerks, but give us a break. We're still trying to figure you out. Guys, a nice touch to the evening out would be to open and close the car door for your girl. They really enjoy this. Honest! Country singer Eddie Rabbit has a song about three steps in winning one's love. I thought these steps might be helpful for yournextdate. Step one: "Ask her out and treat her like a lady"(pretty obvious guys. Act like a gentleman). Step two: 'Tell her she's the one you're dreaming of' (step two is only advisable if step one worked). Step three: 'Take her in your arms and never let go" (hey, if one and especially two worked, then step three shouldn't be a problem). If you were to ask meif you have Mr. or Miss Right, I could not answer. This article should help you determine if he or she is right for you. I can guarantee when you have found that someone special, you'll know it by the burning feeling in your heart I would like to thank the anonymous people who answered my survey and who gave me most of the inspiration. Also to the many love songs I've listened to that drove my roommate Erik up the wall. Thanks Erik for not shooting me. As Jimmy Buffet said it in "He Went To Paris"-"Some of it's magic, some of it's tragic, but I had a good life all the way." Happy Valentine's Day to all. Letters pour in about Appalachian articles *v V Computer operations present their side To the Editor: Prt« Syndic*# 9-io We would like to respond to the editorial which appeared in the Feb. 7 issue of "The Appalachian." We cannot claim to willingly speak for all computer labs on campus, for many departmental labs exist and follow their own rules and procedures. We can. however, speak as operators for Academic Computing Services (ACS). We agree with some of the criticisms contained in that article. Yes, it is true that at times the computer labs are closed temporarily or filled to capacity. It is also true that several labs do not post hours of operation for other campus computer rooms. Also, many of the labs operate under different schedules. We also admit that not all operators are proficient in all software applications. In our defense, concerning temporary lab closures, labs are sometimes closed to students because professors have reserved time for their classes for practical experience. However, these instances are few, and every effort is made to post notifications in advance. Users need only look on the doors or near the operator's station for these notices. Labs filled to capacity is a problem neither the operators nor the lab managers can control. Computer usage on this campus is high and is expected to continue to grow. This speaks highly for ASU students—exposure to computing environments is a commod­ ity in most professions. Several educational institutions expect the students in pursuit of diplomas to provide their own computers. This trend is one we have been fortunate enough to avoid. Most labs post operating hours not oftly for that location but also for other labs around campus. There are other means of determining the hours labs are open. Hours of operation for most labs can be found on the VAX mainframes under the video text information system. Users not familiar with this system may consult operators for assistance in its use. Also, users may phone labs in advance to learn the hours of operation as well as the expected waiting time for a computer, if any. Questions or comments may be directed to ACS. Lab operators are a mixture from diverse educational backgrounds. Their knowledge and experience on certain applications may be strong in some areas and weak in others. When a new operator is hired, he or she is expected to prove proficiency in various software-related ares. While this initial proficiency is not for all software packages supported by the university, it does encompass most basics including many of the applications found on the Macintosh and personal computers in use by ACS. Operators are not required to learn all packages on an expert basis, but they are encouraged to expand their knowledge as needed. So many applications are in use on this campus that to expect all operators to be more than familiar is impudent- Students need to obtain their own familiarity through continued use and through questions directed to their instructors. Operators can only be as helpful as the questions users direct their way. Also, operators bring to their positions See LETTERS page 10 ai j �The Appalachian. Thurtfoy. Fehrunrv 14 lOOj Classifieds Letters Continued from page 9 unique talents and personalities, traits which can both inhibit and promote their productivity. We agree an increase in the computer user fee could provide the stimulus for better resources and facilities, though a ceiling imposed by the state limits the amount of revenue this fee may generate for the university Currently ACS is operating with the constraints imposed by the state budget, a situation that is being dealt with as competently as any other they have encountered. We who work at ACS have seen the effects it has had, and we are encouraged by their response. While constructive criticism is welcomed, students should count themselves fortunate to have these resources available for their use. James Justice ASU Box 6391 Brad McNeely ASU Box 15629 Jimmy Brown ASU Box 14100 academic computing lab operators SGA takes more abuse for leash law To the Editor: I am what you might call the average student on campus. I don't participate in extracurricular activities because I have to work to send myself through school. One thing I do, however, is keep up with what's going on this campus by reading "The Appalachian." One thing "The Appalachian" reported on was Student Government Vice President Daryl Ghent's introduction of a bill to remove unleashed dogs from campus. In the Feb. 5 "The Appalachian," I saw the paper retracted its statement that Ghent was the backer of the bill. Instead I was informed the bill's "main advocate" was Randy Yelton. After re-reading the original article on the leash law, I learned Yelton is in charge of "Student Affairs."

Even though a decrease in the number was projected for this ding semester, "We have been pleas- Implications antly surprised by the number of applica­ tions received," Watts said. The number of applications for the fall semester is second only to the record number received in 1989, which was the last year that the number of high school graduates continued to increase. In 1990, Wattsexplained that the num­ ber of applicants was expected to continue this year as well. According to the American Council for Education, enrollment at two- and four-year campuses has actually increased despite a population decline. The ACE survey found that there was a two to six percent increase in enrollment at community colleges with a one to three percent increase at four-year colleges. However, applicationsat AS U are up 17 percent ahead of 1990, accordi ng to Watt's figures, which were calculated by the number of applications received by Feb. 5. Watts said that the quality of students enrolling at ASU is also improving. He commented, "Our SAT scores are up eight points over last year based on students accepted for admissions that have paid deposits." "We are very pleased with the type of students we have here. The quality of education that a student receives depends on thequality of the curriculum, the facili­ ties, but most importantly it depends on the quality of the student," Watts noted. The average ASU student has a GPA of around 3.2 or 3.3, and is in the upper twenty percent of his class, according to Watts. "We getreally good students here.This has improved the quality of education here because classes with bright students challenge other students," Watts stated. Alternate fuel sought Even though the number of high school graduates is expected to decrease until 1994, Watts said that applications for ASU will continue to increase but enroll­ ment in the freshmen class will not. "Compared with 1986 (when fresh­ men enrollment was at its highest level) we consciously decided to make our freshmen class smaller and more man­ ageable. We don't want large, over­ crowded classes," Watts commented. He explained that "the goal at Appala­ chian is not to increaseenrollment, but to maintain enrollment and keep the quality of students up." According to Watts, the increase in the number of applications "says a lot about the popularity of Appalachian. This (the increase) is a good indication that students here are positive about the experience that they are having," said Watts. Watts said he based his opinion on the 88 percent of ASU freshmen who return as sophomores. He said that at a university like ASU, the figure is usually in the mid 70's.

Appfchimn Photo by Randall Roinink The office of student development at ASU is organizing a bulletin board to post names and addresses of students and personnel who have been activated be­ cause of the war. ASU has at least 32 students currently on active duty and most of them are with the NorthCarolina NationalGuard, which was sent to Ft. Bragg when the 1451st Transportation Company was deployed from Boone. The office of student development has not forgotten these studentsoldiers. "A lot of people have called (the officeof student development) requesting names and ad­ dresses of soldiers(deployed from ASU)," said Associate V ice Chancellor of Student Development Barbara Daye. As a result of the request, student de­ velopment decided to put up a bulletin board in the student union with the name and addresses of those students that are currently on active duty. This bulletin board is not just for the student/soldiers of ASU, but it is also for service members that are special to any­ one at ASU. Students are encouraged to bring the names and addresses of any friends, relatives or acquaintances that are deployed due to Operation Desert Storm. "This board has two purposes," ex­ plained Daye. "We would like a list of those service members special to the uni­ versity, (and we want the) names and addresses, so people will write to them. This is a way we can tell those people that we are remembering and supporting them," Daye said. Student development has sent ASU service members audio cassettes of the Jan. 24 candlelight vigil, copies of "The Appalachian," Christmas cards, Valen­ tines, newsletters, and an Apple Roadrace t-shirt. Student development has received many letters from deployed students. "Most of the mail has come from Ft. Bragg" commented Daye. Elbe Fisher, a soldier currently sta­ tioned at Ft. Bragg, wrote, "Thanks a lot for the shirt. I'm sure I can run the Apple Race, no sweat. Well, we have P.T. (physical training) every morning. Now 2 miles isn't that bad. Really." Transition from student life to the military regimen is not without difficul­ ties. Elliefisher wrote, "...it is still weird to go from college life to military. I had much rather be a student... Everybody here is staying in barracks that are like dorms; there are two people to a room.So I am back in dorm life, only no beautiful mountains, only green camouflage people." Army specialist Brandon Waters is the only Saudi deployed soldier that has written back to student development and to Teresa Johnson, veterans affairs liason at financial aid. He wrote, "This has been the longest camping trip I have been on. I guess you are starting a new semester and I'm starting on my last hopefully 90 days of active duty, unless we get ex­ tended." Waters' letter was written on Jan. 12, four days before the air war against Iraq began. It did not reach ASU until early February. He is in a transportation unit which transports fuel for the First Ar­ mored Cavalry Division. "The bulletin board will be up for as long as it needs to be," said Daye. Space for the board is reserved until the end of the semester. "I hope it comes down before then, but I don't think so," Daye said. The board can be seen in the lower level of the student union. Names to added to the board can be given to the student on duty in the information booth. ^at ^'led the program was not 8 vehici®5 that ran efficiently on ^ Houser said.

The Postal Service's Board of Gover­ nors gave final approval for the increases Jan. 22, and they took effect Feb. 1. Third-class rates for non-profit mail increased by an average of 25 percent. That's the rate used most frequently by colleges for mass mailings of admissions brochures and fund-raising appeal^ Second-class non-profit rates, which colleges use to mail journals and alumni magazines, would increase by about 22 percent. For regular first-class mail, used for business letters and bills, the increase is the same as for everyone else: from 25 cents-to 29 cents on a basic letter. At Perm State University, the increases will cost an extra $200,000 a year in non­ profit charges and $325,000 a year in first-class charges. "You either find the money to meet the increase or you cut back on mailings," a top Soviet military officer expressed fear Sunday that the United States may be on the verge of exceeding U.N. resolu­ tions that say allied forces should do no more than drive Iraq from Kuwait Secretary of State James Baker replied that such a scenario- which is considered likely to damage the U.N. coalition sup­ porting the war- hadn't happened, and it wouldn't. The central issue is whether the allied military strategy—defeating Iraq in Ku­ wait by disabling strategicfacilites inside Iraq and damaging Hussein's regime— was what U.N. members had in mind. Speaking on ABC's "This Week with David Brinkley," Soviet Army Marshal Sergei Akhromeyev said, "Civilians are getting killed, and the longer the war drags on, more and more civilians will get killed." Baker, appearing on CBS's "Face the Nation,"said he was confident U.S. policy was continuing to abide by the U.N. resolution that force could be used to drive out Iraq, but also reflected the U.S. concern for maintaining its alliances.

No one, it would seem, is questioning either our military actions or the use of lethal force in solving conflicts. I,TERESA SMITH [Cetera Editor Valentine's Day is right around the comer, ^js your response to that statement? lunces are it is one of two reactions: the jnace or a broad smile. It all depends on i mi status, I suspect. I I've never really cared for Valentine's Day. ] lust likely because I never seem to be dating • j0ne around that part of the year. (Of course Blind August, when there are no holidays, I lie much better luck). Valentine's Day even comes at a bad time of eyear. Christmas still has left you broke and aes were just mailed. Who has money to pjidon Valentine's Day? I suppose people ((always have money enjoy Valentine's )ay,unless of course they have no one to buy ills tor. Thismay actually be the case because 'alentine's Day seems to stress that boyfriends twlth girlfriends and vice versa. You never advertisements showing best friends Valentine's Day gifts, laybeI would like Valentine's Day much lemifthat were the case. If Valentine's Day miiy to simply show affection to every tgleperson you care about, maybe everybody mid welcome the holiday. Contrary to popular belief, there are dissenters. In addition to the public peace rallies and congres­ sional calls for restraint, there have been soldiers who are openly questioning not only our Persian Gulf policy, but the policy of resolving conflicts with lethal force. One such person is Bob Burkey, ASU student and former member of the U.S. Air Force. His story is typical. He joined right after high school, intent upon making the Air Force his career. Unlike many college age men, he did not sign up for the college fund program. "I had no intention of going to college. I liked theserv ice and enjoyed what I did," Burkey said. Burkey was assigned to an aircraft maintenance shop in the Philippines. During this time he got an early promotion, the Good Conduct Medal and the Air Force Achievement Medal. He also took some classes in psychology and philosophy. "That sort of thing looks good on your record, so I decided to take a few classes," Burkey said. "The philosophy, in particular, started me thinking, and I began to examine some of my values. I began to wonder about the mission of the military. Is vio­ lence a legitimate way to solve problems? Is it morally right?" Despite these questions, Burkey continued to enjoy his work and activities with the military. He especially liked going on maneuvers, during which his shop simulated combat activities such as de­ fending against biological and chemical warfare agents.

Enjoy! ,°je' Smith is a sophomore English ' '" » r Burkey began feeling a conflict between his v alues and his sense of duty. He wanted to get away from the aircraft, so he took a job repairing tires, which gave him time alone to think. With the help of his good service record, he was transferred to a scheduling office, which took him out of dealing with the aircraft altogether. Nevertheless, the un­ ease continued. He could not reconcile his sense of honor at taking human life and his sense of duty. He tried hard to be a "good soldier." Due to military budget cuts in 1988, people with three years of active duty service were offered the chance to leave the military. Burkey leapt at the chance, receiving an honor­ able discharge and placement in the In­ dividual Ready Reserves, IRR. In the IRR, he was told, it is rare to be called up for any reason. It is unlike theregular reserves, which have monthly exercises, yearly maneuvers and contin­ ued military pay. Basically, thereis no contact with the military after discharge. Once out of the military, Burkey went to school, thinking he had put the military behind him. Then came theGulf War. Although hehasn' t been called up, a number of people in his classification area have. "With these developments, I could still be thrown into a situation that is diametrically op­ posed to my moral beliefs." There did not seem to be many options open to him. As far as he knew, it was fight,or go to prison. "I thought that conscientious objector status was only for people being drafted," he said. But a news program gave him new hope. During the early stages of Desert Shield, Burkey saw a newscast about several conscientious objectors who were in the military. He got in touch with the War Resistors League, who put him in touch with a draft coun­ selor in Durham, N.C. A service regulation spells out all of the ques­ tions one must answer, but the whole process is rather involved. The draft counselor helps conscientious objec­ tors prepare for this process. "You have180 days to get everything to­ gether after notifying your commander of your intent," says Burkey. "What I'm trying to do is to get all of that together so I'll be able to meet the requirements immedi­ ately." After the service is —Bob Burkey notified of a soldier's ASU Student intent, an officer is as­ signed to the case.The serviceman must then be interviewed by a military chaplain and a military psychiatrist. Both of these people write up a recommendation, which is then passed on for final action by someone higher up the chain of command. Burkey is quick to point out he isn't afraid of battle. Actually, someone with his skills would be hundreds of miles away from combat. His opposi­ tion is on moral grounds. It is the use of lethal force to which he objects. Asked about any pressures he may be facing for choosing to take his stand, he replied, "I feel good about myself. I can live with what I am doing. I couldn't live with causing death and destruction." u I began to wonder about the mission of the military. Is violence a legitimate way to solve problems? Is it morally right? in But then again, why do people need a holiday excuse their telling someone how they feel tot him. Shouldn't you at least sometimes •people things like that without the prodding hhighly propagandized day? Iwould like to introduce a new holiday. This •May should be celebrated on Feb. 15 and it told be recognized as Anti-Valentine's Day. lis day should be celebrated only by those ithout a significant other.

Any flowering plant that doesn't "ered or pink or any other mushy color is Staged to be displayed in one's home. About two years into his service, Burkey began to have some serious questions about the use of violence and lethal force. "Participating in these war game simulations caused me to realize that we were in a business that killed people. It all came together, and it was wrong," said Burkey.

Predictions for Valentine's General Tendencies—As Valentine's Day comes up, relationships are truly tested during this period. Spiritual and intuitive feeling are high­ lighted, and often prove to be right. Be cautious of manipulation and dominating over your partner. Emotional levels are extremely intense, so expect reciprocation. Aries (March 21-April20)—Responsibility and patience yield a successful you. Impulsiveness and a domineering attitude are going to be tempt­ ing, but not wise. Flirtatiousness and aggressive­ ness toward the opposite sex will accompany your already heated relationships. Best Matches: Li­ bra, Aquarius, Gemini and Aries. Taurus (April 21-May 20)-Romance, ex­ pressing affection and an inner understanding of love make this a favorable period for love. Finan­ cial difficulties may hinder your activities. Be careful. Your high emotional level leaves you open to manipulation. Best Matches: Capricorn, Cancer, Pisces and Scorpio. Gemini (May 21-June 20)-Since you're the conversationalist of the zodiac, you can charm others with your wit and knowledge.

Best Matches: Aries, Sagittarius, Leo and Aquarius. Cancer (June 21-July 21)—Reaching out to loved ones in your family and close circle of friends is the best way to spend this period of time. Restlessness and a need to be independent for awhile creates ncw challenges and excitement that can adapt to your quick mood changes. Best Leo (July 22-Aug. 22)—This period can be a blast, but be careful of doing too much at one time. Extravagance and pompcan quickly obstruct goals. Be prepared for romantic disappointments and financial troubles. Altruism can be the best form of love you can display. Best Matches: Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Libra. Virgo (Aug.23-Sept.22)—Keep in tunc with others' emotions and romance will come yojr way. Constructive thinking and creativity high­ light this period. Do not get bogged down by your intense emotions, or leave yourself open to psy­ chosomatic ills. Communication of your feelings is the best outlet. Best Matches: Pisces, Cancer, Capricorn and Aquarius. Libra (Sept.23-Oct.22)—Clubs, societies and friendships are the best places to find love. There is an inner inspiration, deep affection and senti­ mentality that shows through creative endeavors and romantic relationships. Becarefulofcmotional dependency and letting your emotions block ob­ jective thinking. Best Matches: Aries, Aquarius, Libra and Taurus. Scorpio (Oct.23-Nov.21)-Being of an intense emotional nature, you must guard against jealousy and being domineering. Relationships may be drastically altered during this period, and intense romantic and sexual relationships arc unwise. Business relationships and working in subtle ways achieve the best effect. Best Matches: Taurus, Capricorn, Libra and Scorpio. Sagittarius (Nov.22-Dec.21)-This is the time to let go of the past and move on with your life. Do things that originate from your spirit, but be wise and practical about your moves. Social gatherings See PREDICTIONS page 6 "I am pleased we are still celebrating Black History Month. Fredrick Douglas once said, 'If you forget the past, you are subject to relive it' So let's not forget the past," said Willie Fleming, coordinator of multicultural affairs/ student in­ volvement and leadership. In 1975, Fleming came to ASU as a freshman. "As a student I was very involved with the Black Student Association, " said Fleming. After gradu­ ating, hereturned to Appalachian to attend graduate school. While serving as the graduate assistant for the student development office, he enjoyed inter­ acting with students. In 1983, when the position opened, Fleming became coordinator of multicultural affairs. His administrative duties include advising the Black Student Association. He is also coordinator of cultural programs in conjunction with the Black Student Association. Fleming also teaches black gospel literature and black leadership advance­ ment. In addition, Fleming is aMethodist minister. During his 16 years at ASU, Fleming has seen many changes in black student activities. "Black Greeks are important because they are an elite group of men and women networking to service the black community,"Fleming said. The black Greeks help sponsor scholarships for the United Negro College Fund. "That is our connection to other black campuses and the nation," Fleming said. Before blackGreeks, there were organizations like the Eastern Stars and the Masons. These are still prominent with older African-Americans. The quality of the Black Student Association project is superior. There are new ways to cater to more people. "I am really proud of the gospel choir. In 1975, we started with 25 members. This past fall we had well over 90 members," Fleming said. The gospel choir has been to the Bahamas, and every year it attends a workshop in Atlanta, Ga. The choir also has future plans of making a recording. A new program in operation is the new peer mentor program. It is a program which encourages students to advise each otheT. It gives them a chance to discipline themselves. "The students start giving advice to other students. They also start taking theirown advice. The program worked very positively this fall," said Fleming. "I am very appreciative for all Mr. Fleming has done for me. He is a positive role model and we arc fortunate to have him here at ASU," said Teresa Clark, ASU student. When asked to compare Appalachian to a black school, Fleming responded, "Appalachian is one see FLEMING page 6 I&irits and Haves Thumbs up to the staff in the Gold Room and in the Sweet Shop for their courteousness.

Best Matches: Sagittarius, Gemini, Aquarius and Cancer. Capricorn (Dec.22-Jan.l9)~Though your emotions are cool, your spirit is deep and strong.

Aquarius (Jan.20-Feb.l8)--A sense of quality, charm and the desire to try new and interesting things keep you going for the remainder of your rule, and help in bringing in romance.

Saturday, Spurlock scored 26 points before being ejected in the Mountaineers' 89-72 loss to league opponent Furman. Appalachian State dropped its third straight basketball game, losing on the road to Furman 89-72 Saturday in Greenville, S.C. The Mountaineers' record dropped to 11-11 overall and 4-5 in the Southern Conference with the loss. The Paladins remained in second place in the SC with the win, and moved their record to 16-6 overall and 8-2 in league play. The 17-point Furman win also gave the Paladins a season sweep of the Moun­ taineers, as the boys in purple defeated ASU by four points in Varsity Gym last month. Appalachian Head Coach Tom Apke has recorded just one win against Furman during his tenure in Boone, that coming in the Southern Conference Tournament last year. Saturday's game resembled, unfortu­ nately for ASU, the first game when Furman controlled the contest much of the way and four technical fouls were whistled on the Mountaineers. This time around, the Paladins led by as much as 14 points in the first half, held an 11 -point advantage at halftime, and built the lead to as many as 16 before the Mountaineers staged a comeback. "Overall, it tookus awhile in both halves to get going," Apke said. "When we did, I thought we played well. We were just slow getting out of the gate. "One of the things I was most disap­ pointed with was the fact that we forced them into only three turnovers in the first half. We had intended to try and press more early in the game, but we weren't very effective with it" Trailing 66-52, the Mountaineers went on an eight to one run to slice the lead in half at 67-60 with 6:48 left. From there things went downhill and the game was a case of ddjk vu for the Apps. Two technicals were charged to Mountaineer starting forward Steve Spurlock in the span of two minutes; the Paladins made the free throws, took advantage of the ensuing possessions and slammed the door on any hopes of an Appalachian victory. The first technical came with the Mountaineers trailing by nine, 72-63, following a three-pointer by Furman guard Derek Waugh. Spurlock, after a scramble for a loose ball and jump-ball call by the referee, slammed the ball to the floor to cause the "T." Furman's Hal Henderson made both free throws and Chris Bass immediately followed with a three-pointer that ballooned the lead back to 14 points, 77-63. Then, with 3:33 left and ASU down by nine, Spurlock was called for a flagrant foul and was ejected after throwing an elbow inside and knocking down Furman's DavidStamey. Once again, the Paladins were awarded two free throws and the ball. After the Mountaineers committed a couple of turnovers and the dust settled, Furman owned a 17-point lead and the game. "I thought the (first) technical foul was really the turning point in thegame," Apke, who was ejected when the two teams met in Boone, said. "I thought we were right back into it. Steve Spurlock wrenched his knee (fighting for the ball), and I don't think he threw the ball down in disgust, or, if he did, it was in disgust of wrenching his knee." Perhaps as big as a story as the technicals was theabsence of scoring by Appalachian junior center Tim Powers. Powers, who entered the game in the top 10 of six different offensive categories, and was the Mountaineers' second-leading scorer, didn't record a single point in 34 minutes of playing time. The 6'9" junior was zerofor-seven from the floor, didn't attempt any foul shots, and grabbed just four re­ bounds. Spurlock, before getting ejected, and senior guard Ed Ward carried the Moun­ taineers offensively. The duo accounted for 28 of ASU's 34 first half points. Spurlock finished with 26 points and eight rebounds, and Ward had 13 points and dished out six assists. Brodcrick Parker, Billy Ross, and Ricky Nedd came on in the second half and finished with 13, 12 and eight points, respectively, while Ward didn't score in the final 20 minutes. See FURMAN page 8 Moore's Mountaineers land 15 football recruits By KURT C.WARD Appalachian Sports Editor The ASU fodlball Sfaff announced the signing of 15 freshmen recruits Wednes­ day, the first day of the NCAA signing period. Mountaineer Head Coach Jerry Moore, in his third year at the helm, said his staff did anoutstanding job filling the holes left by graduation and increased team speed in the process. "We feel we had a very good recruiting year and we felt we were very selective in our recruiting," Moore said. "We have some young people who will come in and compete for spots and will also provide depth for our football team." All 15 of the ASU signees are incoming freshmen. Last season, the Mountaineer staff decided to go with junior college transfers, signing nine. Those players served an immediate role filling a void in the offensive line and aided the Apps with a 6-5 overall and 5-2 conference record. This season, no such void existed, with the exception of the linebacking corps, where the Mountaineers lost three of four starters to graduation. "Last year we found nine junior college transfers," ASU Recruiting Coordinator Gary Griffin said. "This year we came in with freshman kids to fill the spots when those guys graduate." Griffin said in addition to linebackers (the recruiting class contains four), the coaches were looking for "speed guys." "Coach Moore won't let us take a kid ' that can't run," Griffin said. "We felt speed was a necessity and we feel very good about the overall speed of this group of players...," Moore said. In addition to the four linebackers, the class includes four running barks, two defensive backs, two offensive linemen, two defensive linemen and a defensive end. One of the linebackers, 6'3", 195pound Tommy Dorsey from Fayetteville, N.C., is also listed as a tight end, while Nate Abraham,a5'10", 185 pounder from Charlotte, N.C., can also be positioned as wide receiver. "Some (of the recruits) are flexible enough to be moved," Griffin said. "Sometimes you recruit position and sometimes you recruit athletes. Most of these guys are good enough where they have played that they may stay there. That's always a plus when you can play a guy at the same position he is used to." The class consists of five recruits from North Carolina, four from Tennessee and two from both South Carolina and Vir­ ginia. The Mountaineers also signed two players from Georgia and Florida. "This year the eastern part of Tennes­ see was very productive for us," Griffin said. "We spring recruit to see who we need to look at the following season. It's just a matter of where the players arc that particular year." The Tennessee natives include 6' 1", 250-pound offensive lineman Scott McGhee; 5'10", 175-pound running back Willie McLain; 6'3", 195-pound line­ backer Chip Miller; and 6'1", 195-pound linebacker Marc Summers. 1991 ASlift Football Recruits The fourth linebacker in the bunch, 6'2", 212-pound Shawn Elliott, hails from Camden, S.C. Along with Dorsey, Miller and Summers, he will be vying for the three starting slots left open by seniors Dwayne Pelham, Johnny Jennings and Donnie Durham. "Overall, this is a great recruiting class," Griffin said. "We filled the needs we needed to fill. We went out after some of the same guys as Division1-A schools and had success against them." However, one prospect who had earlier committed to ASU got away from the Mountaineers, going to Division I-ANorlh Carolina State. He is 6'3", 235-pound tight end William Odom. Griffin said he was not at all concerned about the loss of the prospect. "Obviously, that is one of those things that is going to happen," he said. "We don't like to lose players (but) one player is never going to make or break a recruiting class. Each player has t8 do what is best for him."

The reasons behind this bill lie in the fact that last year there was an approximate $18,000 loss in revenue resulting from creative laundering techiniques. A proposal brought before senate asked for student input to an administra­ tive suggestion of a $25 fee to curb this laundry problem. This would be a standard fee each semester that would allow students access to the laundry machines on campus at any time, without additional charge. Hello? What's wrong with this picture? Students at ASU are beginning to wonder if SGA senate has ever heard Nancy Reagan's advice: just say no. When was the last time the student senate said no to an issue that concerned raising student fees? SGA Senator Shelby Johnson stated the only alternative to the fee per semester was to double the cost of washing a load of clothes from 75 cents to 51.50. We find it hard to believe that was the only available alternative. This laundry bill appears to have large holes. What about students who allow their off-campus friends to use their cards? If this policy is implemented, will the machines be kept in working order? How reliable will the doors on the laundry rooms be? - Student senate needs to realize they have a responsibility to all students at ASU.Their main goal should be to improve student life on campus, not rubber stamp increased student fees. SGA leaders need to research senate bills thoroughly and all the available options, analyze the problems and think about the issues before approaching senate and asking senators to vote on them. Senate, in turn, needs to learn to put its collective foot down. They need to realize they don't always have to say yes to issues because they feel the administration wants the senate's approval. SGA President Mike Scales vetoed this bill Friday, citing the fact that the bill needed more thoughtand planning. Congratulations, President Scales, for keeping tabs on student senate and realizing the bill needed more effort. It is imperative that the senate think before it acts. Before SGA decides to O.K. raising student fees again, they ought to consider doing some of the following things: ' Place a copy of the agenda to senate in a prominent place such as the student union. This will allow students an opportunity to see what issues will be voted on in senate the following week. Senate could also benefit from this l(fea. Students who saw the agenda could attend meetings and add valuable input. •Write a weekly column in"The Appalachian" telling students what issues ® coming up and what has happened with issues that have been passed faugh senate already. ' Have senators actually poll their constituents to see what they think about ^ issue. There's an original thought. Before student fees are raised again, SGA leaders should consider their ^Ponsibilities to the students at Appalachian. Think about saying no before y°u vote on issues that will affect students' pocketbooks. Research your or bills before you ask senators to vote on issues. THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON There has been a lot of press lately about the depletion of our natural resources and thegeneral decline of western civilization due to our strange and terrible dependence on oil. Most of the solutions to the problem of environment deterioration have focused on recycling and conservation, both of which are essential parts of a sane policy for use of our natural resources. Recycling and conservation alone, however, are not the whole story. In order for us to survive much past the year 2000, we are going to have to make some changes in what and how we consume. Conservation to a lot of people means inconvenience or some sacrifice of com­ fort, hence the unwillingness to engage in this behavior. Changes in our consumption habits don't mean that we'll have to give up our standard of living, in fact it could represent an improvement. The key to our continued survival lies in the develop­ ment of renewable resources. In particular, we must begin developing alternative energy sources. It will also be necessary to use some products in some forgotten or heretofore unknown ways. One such product is hemp. Cannabis saliva. Marijuana. During the Second World War, hemp was used for making ropeand canvas.In fact,400,000 pounds of seeds were distributed to U.S. farmers for hemp production. This was brought to an abrupt end after the war, presum­ ably due to unfounded fears about the alleged side effects from the use of hemp as a consciousness-altering sub­ stance. Hemp fibers may also be used for making paper and clothing. A 1916 U.S. Department of Agriculture study found that a mill producing 7,500 tons of fiber requires 40,500 acres of pulpwood land, but only 10,000 acres of cultivated hemp. This means saving both our national forests and the rainforests inother partsof the world upon which we all depend upon for survival. Over half of the world's rainforests have been destroyed to meet our demand for wood pulp. With regard to energy, it is possible to produce metha­ nol from hemp, which bums more cleanly than fossil fuels. Brazil has about 1.2 million cars running on metha­ nol produced from sugarcane. It is possible to make methanol more efficiently from hemp. The switch from emphasizing grain alcohol for fuel would free up more grain for food production. The oil from the seeds has been used as a lubricant Surprisingly, hemp seeds, which do not contain THC, are secondonly to soybean in terms of protein content. A high-protein seed would be of immeasurable value in many parts of the world where there is a great deal of malnutrition due in part to a lack of protein in the daily diet It could also replace reliance on cattle and similar animals, which represent an inefficient, expensive and ecologically destructive source of protein. It is often suggested that a major change to alternative fuels and technology would cause more economic hassle than it is worth. In the terms of immediate impact, this is I know that this sounds terribly un-American, but let's, plan for the future and head off future crises by cutting our dependence on other parts of the world for resources we can produce here. Speaking of independence, it is a! little known fact that the first draft of the Declaration of', Independence was written on hemp paper. Let's stop! ignoring this valuable resource and make hemp part of' the solution to environmental destruction.

Editor'sNote: Rayle is currently a graduate student in the psychology department. University on fire with diverse opinions Letter to chancellor Chancellor Thomas: I would have preferred that this be a letter to inform you that I have decided to continue my studies here at ASU by enrolling in a master's program, but instead, I am writing to explain why I will seek my graduate degree elsewhere. The reason, pure and simple, is because I won't be able to afford to pay tuition and fees at ASU. Just as I was about to submit my application to the graduate school, I was informed that, due to the ever-worsening budget crisis, it is very likely that graduate assistantships will not be available for the next school year. I agree that times are tough THE FAR SIDE and we all must tighten our belts, but how do you expect to have a graduate program without graduate assistants? I suppose that graduate students who are putting themselves through school could do the same as undergrads who support themselves; namely, go to school parttime and work thirty to forty hours a week for minimum wage at whatever job they can scrounge in Boone. The graduate school, of course, would understandably lower the 3.0 GPA requirement to accommodate those students who must study less because they have to work more. Is that the kind of education you want ASU master's degree holders to advertise on their resumes? Also, who is going to teach all of the biology labs and freshman English courses? The faculty? It's hard enough now for students to get the classes they need (another ploy, I'm convinced, designed by the administration to keep students in school and collect more of their money.) Either fewer sections of fewer courses will be offered, or the faculty will have to teach more sections and courses and thus diffuse the quality of their instruction and research. I am not trying to suggest that graduate students deserve a free ride, and I am aware that there are those students who are able to cover their expenses without the benefit of an assistantship.

For our region in particular, a new cash crop for the agricultural sector would mean an economic boon for farmers who have been facing unfair competi­ tion from corporate farms, falling prices and higher operating costs. Tax revenues from decriminalized and regulated hemp could be used for addressing some problems more pressing than Arab dictators with an attitude. Had Bush been a truly courageous leader, he would have begun working with Congress to implement a new energy policy instead of dragging us into a conflict that can at best be described as ill-advised. Instead, we are faced with a short-term recession, now, and an even worse one whenever this war is over. While it is at this point difficult to predict what effect the Gulf War will have, it is safe to say that a prolonged war is going to create some kind of economic hardship whether we win or not. Not only that, but when we win (George Bush says we're in this to win), we'll still be faced with dealing with all of the weirdness that is the Middle East in order to feed our fossil fuel habit. Center can not be used to fund graduate assistantships, I still find it positively outrageous that you are willing to spend $24 million to build an arena that very few people I know actually want and at the same time wipe out graduate studies at ASU without a second thought. I can only conclude that you no longer have, or never did have, the best interests of the students at heart. The loss of graduate assistantships will be felt deeply by many people in many ways. On a personal level. Chancellor Thomas, you have lost a prospective graduate student who had much to give academically and personally to ASU. I welcome your comments. Respectfully, Rusty Percy B.A., '88, A.S.U. Seniors dislike gift To the Editor: Once again it has come to that time of the academic year when seniors receive phone calls asking for pledges for the senior gift. Once again the senior gift is a frivolous vestige to the administration. Last year a statue was erected at the Broyhill Inn, a location few students have occasion to visit This year the gift is a garden area and gazebo in front of the administration building. Please understand, we have nothing against the administration, it is just that we see no reason to spend money on something that is only visual when we could spend money on academics. We also understand this garden area is to be dedicated to the Broyhill family. This letter is not intended to show disrespect for the Broyhill family. We feel great respect and thanks to the Broyhills for what they have accomplished for Appalachian State. One of us spoke with an officer of the senior committee about the senior gift. Who chose it and how much will it cost? We weTe not pleased when we learned the park and gazebo will cost $25,000. We were shocked to see that kind of money going to a purely vain gift in the same year North Carolina is having budget cuts and colleges are losing money; thus our academic budgets have been cut We would like to see the money go to something that will have a positive influence on the • scholastics of our university. Maybe a scholarship fund, a library donation or a donation to a particular department would be more appropriate. We are ashamed of the gift that has been chosen. On the question of who chose the gift, we were told first it was a vote. Later, we were told it was a senior reception—which no seniors that we have spoken with knew about—where senior committee members circulated around and asked opinions rather than taking votes on 4 proposed ideas. We were also told that about 150 people "maybe" came to the reception, which lasted all day. 150 people out of all the seniors. Come on! Is this a fair representation of all seniors? To make this worse, another person on the senior ; committee told me about 50 people came to the reception. Perhaps we take $25,000 too seriously. We really do not think we I do. We also do not know who selected I the senior committee. We would hope * being chosen or appointed to a committee that is trying to raise $25,000 would instill a certain responsibility in the representatives. 1 "Senior committee" probably looks ] good on a resume. We are proud of ASU and the education we are receiving here. We will be proud to call ourselves ASU ! Alumni after graduation. It is the education that makes us proud, not a gazebo in front of the administration building. We would be glad to give 1 money toward improving ASU's teaching ability, but not to this. With concern, * Jeffrey Pipes 5 ASU Box 10808: Beth Poplin I ASU Box 18547 * Leash law is stupid To the Editor Student government must have nothing better to do than restrict the freedom of animals on campus. It is great to have dogs roaming free around campus, to pet them as you walk to class and watch them run off. If only wi could be so free—but not anymore. Who says that dogs cannot run on campus? The administration? No, our own student representatives. You can m longer play frisbee on the mall with your dog—a scene that gave ASU a cheerful atmosphere which persuaded me to come here. Students are supposed to be more open minded and yet this restriction was based on one or two incidents without taking into account the damage this rule will cause. Many students feel a sense of home when they pet and play with animals. "1 reminds me of my own dog," said one student. "They're so friendly, the ones on campus, because students care for them. There is no way one of those happy dogs would attack someone, unless you kicked them or provoked them in some way." I have never heard of anyone getting hurt by one of the dogs on campus, but trust SGA would not base this on a purs whim.

Come on people, get real. Does the SGA have nothing better to do than crush the positive atmosphere on campus? No frisbee playing pups, no dogs running free anywhere. Around the dorms, I know of no one who supports such an action. Even after checking views from different students, faculty and people who work at the university. I have found dissatisfaction with this law and SGA. "They don't represent the students, and this proves it," said one student Others said, "This is the most stupid thing I've ever read in 'The Appala­ chian.'""Somebody needs to put a collar on those people." Who? "Those closed minded individuals that made up this law. Don't they have anything better to do?" "I don't want to be a part of SGA if they're going to do stuff like that said still another student. One lady who had not heard or read of this asked me, "Why are they doing that? Are they afraid of animals?" I would like to see this law done away with. If all opposed would go to their own RSA meetings in the dorms Write to: Any Soldier 'ical Group Operation Desert Shield and motion an appeal, then SGA would work like it was designed to. I don't want to boycott SGA, such as others have done, for they are supposed to represent students. I would hate to see this enforced, not only for the dogs, but the atmosphere of ASU. Let's not ' have others warning future students not to come to ASU because it is so strict dogs are not even allowed to roam around campus.

Money collected above the ceiling must be returned to the state. , SALLY KUHL ppalachian Diversions Editor State budget cuts have indefinitely halted computer service expansion plans •hich include the addition of twocomputer labs each year in residence halls. "We have to look for other resources,' Directorof AcademicComputing Services Dcanna Bowman said. "We are continu­ ally looking for grants and donations from computing vendors. They put contingen­ cies on us and sometimes we can't accept pants because it's just too prohibitive," Bowman said. The SI5 computer user fee charged to students using labs on campus covers the cost of supplies such as paper and ribbons and also helps to pay the student lab op­ erators. According to Bowman, the state set a S100,000 ceiling in the early 80's limiting ik amount of money that may becollected Students were originally charged a $25 user fee.Since more labs have opened and more students are using the labs, the fee has been reduced. However, the addition of labs has brought increasedcosts and the ceiling has not been adjusted to reflect this. Over fifteen-hundred microcomput­ ers are currently in use on campus. Academic Computing Services operates seven public user labs on campus located in Justice, White and Belk Residence Halls, Walker Hall, Belk Library, and two in the College of Business. The ACS lab in the College of Business "microcosm of what students are using throughout the university," Bowman said. The lab in White was opened with a portion of the computers formerly in Whitener. Since Whitener's lab was closed, students living on the east side of campus needed easy access to a lab and thus ACS opened one. Academic Computing Services holds a training program for all operators inter­ ested in working in ACS labs one week before the fall semester begins. Various departments on campus have instructional labs which cater to students taking classes in that department. Indi­ vidual departments decide what type of computers, printers, and software to buy. The department labs also hire and train their own lab operators. Each lab sets its own standard as to how much computer experience a lab operator must have and how intensive a training program they must undergo before working in the lab. By typing INFO on any terminal on campus, more information about the hours and types of computers in labs across campus is available. Academic Comput­ ing Services has a handout detailing ACS labs, locations and types of computers available.

ASU grads face limited job opportunities due to recession ByRAEBEASLEY Editor-in-Chief _ Economists say job prospects for 1991 graduates reflect a mixed picture this spring- According to The Chronicle for Higher Education, the recession, combined with war in the Middle East, are painting a Weak picture for this year's college graduates. However, ASU's director of career placement and planning, Dr. David Ball, stated that he is very optimisticabout die job prospects for ASU graduates. "I think the ASU graduate is held in the highest esteem by employers. The reputa­ tion of this school has a lot to do with it. ASU grads have a good work ethic," Ball said. This projected drop in hiring is the largest in 20 years, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education. Some employers who expect to hire fewer col­ lege graduates are those involved in building construction, communications and telecommunications, electronics and electrical-equipment manufacturing, el­ ementary and secondary schools, furni­ ture and wood-products manufacturing, government, the military and tire and rubber manufacturing. Yet, some employers plan to increase their hiring schedules this spring. Col­ lege graduates who majored in automotive and mechanical equipment; banking, fi­ nance and insurance; hospitals and health­ care services; hotels and restaurants; and merchandising and retailing are expected to find jobs quicker than those who didn't major in these subjects, according to The Chronicle. "The market is going to be tight. We are going to have to adjust toit. The jobmarket won't adjust to us," Ball said. According to Ball, there are several things that graduates can do to increase their chancesof getting a job. The first and probably most important thing is to be flexible geographically."This seems to be the greatest limitation that students place on themselves," Ball said. The second piece of advice is to de­ velop your skills—whether those are technical, communications or organiza­ tional skills. Ball also suggests that you avail yourselves to the offices that are available on the ASU campus and to re­ member that you have a built-in network which could provide support and valuable advice. According to Ball, about 69 percent of ASU seniors are on file in the career planning and placement center on cam­ pus. He stated that he would like to see every senior on campus on file in the center. Although Ball is optimistic about the job market, across the country the feeling seems to be quite opposite. "It's very tight here," said Mary Ann Benson, coordinator of placement and academic internships at the University of Southern Maine. "It's as bad now as it was in 1982." In 1982-83, the last time the country was officially in a recession, student job opportunities dropped 16.8 percent from the previous year. Many employers cited uncertainty about the economy and the prospects of the war in the Middle East as the reasons they have cut back on their hiring. "The market is going to be more com­ petitive. The students are going to have to work harder and be more creative and imaginative but the jobs are going to be there. They're just going to more difficult to uncover," said Victor Linquist, North­ western University's placement director. According to Ball, it's never too early to start looking for a job. On the national average it takessix months to find a job."If you'll be persistent, you'll be successful. People hire people, they don't hire diplo­ mas," Ball said.

Appalachian recycling effort turns over 75 tons of waste y RANDALL REININK Appalachian Staff Writer •*- _____ According to the Environmental Prolion Agency, thellnitedStates produces 14 billion tonsofwasteayear. This amount of refuse has given rise to a billion-dollar recycling industry. Concerns about lack of landfill space, dwindling resources ^ poiiulion motivated 32 states to pass comprehensive recycling laws, On the local level, ASU generates over 2,400 tons of solid waste a year. Recy­ cling at ASU started on Oct. 10, 1989. In the first year alone, recycling has stopped 72 1/2 tons of waste from going into the county landfill. At $10 a ton, that is a savings of $725. "We're required by Senate bill 111 to recycle 25 percent of our solid waste by January 1993," said James Rice, director of civil landscape engineering, also the head of ASU's recycling program. "That will be 600 tons. Right now we're (recycling) 7 percent. But we'll beat the deadline. There's no doubt about that," Rice stated. There are large recycling bins behind Gardner/Coltrane and Winkler/Bowie residence halls. There is also a bin on the upper levelof the Mountaineer Apartments, These bins are rented by the residence halls from Garbage Disposal Systems Inc. These bins are set up to collect glass, and aluminum beverage cans. "With 500,000 beverage cans going through university vending machines every year, we haven't even scratched the surface of student waste," Rice said. "I know even more (aluminum) cans are bought off campus at stores." "The energy stored in each can is equivalent to 6 ounces of gasoline or enough to bum a 60-watt light bulb for three hours. Nation wide, 60percentof all aluminum cans are recycled," said Rice, Recently, Pepsi Cola has donated freestanding barrels for recycling around campus. This is an experiemental program. Bins can be found in East, Belk, White, and Doughton residence halls and in the university post office, The post office barrels accept newspaper, white and color papers, but not envelopes with labels or windows because they turn into glue during the recycling process, according to Rice."Recyclables must meet certain specifications, so they can be accepted by our buyer," stated Rice. ASU expects to make from $6,000 to $8,000 this year, just from selling recyclables. To date, the university has sold $2,472.35. The support from students, faculty and staff has been"overwhelming,"said Rice, "Psychologically we're ready to go an extra step. (But) we don't have enough in place (to meet the demands) for students." Evcntually, the recycling program will include food cans, magazines, plastic drink bottles and plastic milk cartons, These will be fixed sites that will be more convenient than going to a dumpster. Not only is the university recycling its waste, the town of Boone has its own recycling program. "Since April 1,1990 Boone has recylced 210 tons of paper, glass and cans. This alone has saved the city $2,100 (in landfill fees)," said Ann Beardsley, administrative assistant for the town of Boone and the public utilities dept. "Recycling costs more money to opcrate but it saves landfill space and you can't put a price tag on that," Beardsley cornmented. Boone recycles newspapers, glass, beverage cans and now (as of last Friday) food cans. "This summer we hope to include plastic...but right now it's not economically feasible," Beardsley stated. Apartment complexes can also start recycling, However, Beardsley stated that tenants must request recycling bins from their landlords and then the town will pick the bins up.

SGA imposes laundry fees, approves Jukebox By AMANDA NELSON Assistant News Editor Senators passed a bill at the Feb. 5 meeting thatrcquires all students who live in the residence halls to pay a $25 fee per semester for the usage of the on-campus laundry machines. >RECYCLES: The bill, which was introduced by Shelby Johnson, was designed because residence facilities lost $18,000 in the last year due to damage of laundry equipment and loads that were not paid for. Johnson stated, "Students use the same 75 cents they use to wash their clothes to dry their clothes as well." She continued, "We arc falling into aholc because students keep cheating the machines." Appalachian Photo by Randall Reinink ASU freshman Alan Yaron pitches in behind Coltrane a"' Yaron is just one of the students at ASU who has made an effort to try According toJohnson, the policy would be implemented regardless of the Senate's vote with the only alternative to the fee per semester is to double the cost of washing a load of clothesfrom 75cents to $1.50. Laundry facilities will have a card reader installed on each door that allow students who have paid the fee to enter the laundry room. Johnson stated that this allows the uni­ versity to become even moreof a "coinless campus." Johnson also stated that students who regularly do their laundry on campus will experience a savings of $35 per se­ mester. However, other senators argued that students would wash one item loads and actually devalue the machines even more. It was also commented that off-campus students would do their laundry free by borrowing cards from on-campus stu­ dents. Senator Doug Duncan stated, "I feel that the students need to support this bill. I heard the figures of how much we are losing. I feel that if I pay a set fee, then it's something I don't have to worry about for the rest of the semester." The Senate also addressed the issue of the Seby Jones SAC by passing a referen­ dum to the bill that will allow students to vote on whether or not they support the activity center. "There needs to be a vole of students on this because the issue is very close," said Stephen Schmotzer, off-campus commu­ nity affairs. He also cited that students complained that the Senate did not represent students' opinion following the senate's 75 percent vote of approval of the bill last year. This referendum is designed to "kill the controversy on campus which will probably stir back up in the spring," Schmotzer explained. Students will be allowed to vole on the issue while voting for SGA officers for the following year. A bill that provides for the installa of a jukebox in the Sweet Shop was approved. Johnson said that she came up with idea for a jukebox from watching tel sion show and movies. She commen "It (jukebox) would add life and a atmosphere." Johnson went on to say that the adr istralion as well as food services ar favor of the bill. While it has not yet been decided il university would purchase the jukebo if it would be leased, the profits will ei be used to offset the cost of food price be given to a charitable organization.

Bush says no to draft By THOMAS RIGGINS Appalachian News Editor "I have absolutely I no intention of rein­ stating thedraft,"said I President Bush on Tuesday during a White House news conference. Bush was asked to offer a"100 percent presidential guarantee" that he will not bring back the draft. "I've heard no dis­ cussion from any of our people about the need to reinstate the draft," said Bush. Bush went on to say that the all-volun­ teer army is capable of getting the job done. When asked to elaborate. Bush replied again without equivocation, "No. I will not reinstate the draft" In other developments concerning the Gulf War, Bush expressed doubt that a ground war against Iraq can be avoided. Bush is sending the defense secretary and the nation's top military officer to Saudi Arabia this week. Pentagon spokesman Pete Williams said Defense Secretary Dick Cheney and Gen. Colin Powell, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will meet with Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, commander of Operation Desert Storm, and Saudi leaders "to dis­ cuss possible future courses of action." After three weeks of an unrelenting bombing campaign boasting nearly50,000 missions, Pentagon officials are growing more confident of the war's course and ultimate outcome. "We get a little bit closer to victory every day," one Army officer said. "It's just a matter of time." A marine task force is heading into the Persian Gulf after wrapping up a "dress rehearsal" amphibious assault on the southern shore of the Arabian peninsula, according to Pentagon sources. Some 8,000 marines from the seaborne task force stormed the coast of Oman near the island of Masira, a source said, with "every kind of aerial assault amphibious vehicle, helicopter and landing craft," military sources state. The marines have massed around 90,000 of their number in the Gulf regionabout 75 percent of the Corps. "With that many in the region, it'sclear the Pentagon brass wants a classic marine beach assault, said a Pentagon officer.

However, the band's first brC/llfthrrMink breakthrough show was sponsored by A.P.P.S. and held in the Pub. Since that performance, the band's popularity has skyrocketed. The format of one lead guitar, one bass and percussion gives the band a unique back-to-basics sound. The band experi­ mented with the addition of a rhythm guitar but returned to its original format. Schladensky said, "We feel comfortable with our current set-up; I doubt we will add anyone else." Marley graduated from Appalachian in December of 1988 with a business degree and lives in Charlotte. Pope, who gradu­ ated this past December with a degree in graphic design, lives in Raleigh. Schladensky, who is finishing his degree in advertising and will graduate this May, is from Winston-Salem. Schladensky cites the difference in hometowns as an advantage because it allows each band member to concentrate on getting gigs in a city he is familiar with. The loyal following of Boone fans has been an essential part of the band's suc­ cess. Fears of fans graduating and leaving a gap in their audience do not phase the band. "What matters is style.

A lot of our songs relate things we learned in college," Schladensky said. "The lyrics can be about anything from political ideas to relationships to ties we have with other people." The band has expanded the number of clubs it plays by branching out to all the major cities in North Carolina. This ex­ pansion has led to playing with some major names including The Romantics at the Mad Monk in Wilmington and Mel­ issa Ethridge at the Sports Club in Win­ ston-Salem. Other bands The Outer Lim­ its have played with include Dreams So Real, Royal Crescent Mob, Hege V and Naked Prey. The band recorded a cassette during 1988 and 1989 at T.G.S. Studio and Overdo Lane Studio in Chapel Hill. The cassette contains ten songs and is available at any Outer Limits performance. Hoping to enter the recording studio to record a compact disc planned for this summer, the band re-invests any money it makes into recording. "We sell our cassettes for five dollars and we sell t-shirts also. This is our main means of publicity, our cassette," Schladensky said. "A CD will show labels that we are serious and we are serious aboulour music and ourselves and we are willing to invest in that," Schladensky said. The band feels that a combination of music written by Marley and Pope plus a couple of tracks from the cassette will make the compact disc a great production. One hundred compact discs will go to college radio stations along the EastCoast and throughout North Carolina. Schladensky said, "A lot of North Caro­ lina college stations will play North Caro­ lina bands. That is a lot of help to us and other college bands." In response to the success of The Outer Limits, Schladensky said,"You really have to pay your dues and we are still paying and intend to keep on paying. We really put forth an effort to promote the band and that is all you can do along with enjoying what you are doing." Schladensky said, "People associate us with the mountains because we formed there. Even though three members are from different cities, we will always keep our Boone ties; the mountains will always be a part of us." Talent search returns Music on the Mall!

In past years, many performers from the Mountaineer Talent Search havegone on to professional careers. Louis Nixon, the first ever to win the Mountaineer Talent Search, has gone on to become a professional comedian and has returned tobcmasterofceremonies for the search for the last two years.

February 7,1991 USM slams to 98-74 victory Dunks abound as 12th ranked Southern Mississippi tops ASU By SHEA GRIFFIN Assistant Sports Editor The Golden Eagles of Southern Missis­ sippi, spurred by 57 percent field goal shooting and 11 dunks, flew out of Boone with a 98-74 victory over the ASU Moun­ taineers Monday night. The 12th ranked Golden Eagles placed five players in double figures and scored a decisive 40-27 advantage over the Apps on the boards. "They're a really good team," ASU Head Coach Tom Apke said after the game. "They're a tall, athletic team." Appalachian was bothered by Southern Mississippi's zonedefense, whichlimited the Mountaineers to 49 percent shooting from the field and just six of 19 from the three-point range. "They kept switching zones, and we didn' t executewell withour zone offense," Apke said. "We didn't make some of the three's that you've got to make against that kind of zone."

ASU, 11-10 and 4-4 in the SC, will then travel to Charleston, S.C., for another league battle against the Bulldogs of The Citadel. The Paladins (14-6, 7-2) defeated the Apps 91-87 in Varsity Gym on Jan. Hand will also be looking to rebound after an upset loss on the road at Virginia Military Institute on Monday night. Furman had been tied for first place in the conference before getting knocked off by one point in overtime by the Keydets. The first game against Furman was a case of Murphy's Law for the Mountain­ eers. Head Coach Tom Apke was ejected after picking up his second technical foul with 17:09 to play, and ASU center Tim Powers and guard Billy Ross were both whistled for technical fouls in the second half. "I apologized to the team after that game," Apke said Wednesday. "They had to fight back from a big hole that I dug for them. I thought their comeback was heroic and almost complete." In addition, the Mountaineers were guilty of 17 turnovers, and both Ross and junior forward Steve Spurlock, ASU's leading scorer and rebounder, fouled out of the contest. There was some doubt Spurlock would be able to play in this Saturday's upcoming contest, as the 6'7" power forward Chancellor tallied 17 points for the Golden Eagles, while the duo of Weatherspoon and Daron Jenkins com­ bined to score 30 points and grab 19 re­ bounds. Guard Barnard Haslet added 13 points for Southern Mississippi. The Mountaineers return to Southern Conference action thisSaturday when they travel to Greenville, S.C., to clash with Furman.

Apps take to the road for SC games By WILL ROTHSCHILD Appalachian Staff Writer ASU vs Tennessee-Chattanooga "ili: two occasions before the Lady Mountain­ eers rallied to capture the victory. The two squads battled evenly throughout the first half, with the Lady Mountaineers holding a slight advantage for most of the half. Gruca, Ikard, Neoma Konrad and for­ ward Jeanne Coker paced the Lady Apps in the first half. The quartet combined to score 33 of ASU's 42 points during the first period. The Lady Mountaineers shot a blistering 63 percent for the half, com­ pared to 40.5 percent for VCU. Ikard topped the Lady Apps scoring with 17 points. Thomas finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds, while playing 31 minutes. Konrad scored nine points and Yount contributed eight. Gruca dished out seven assists to go with her 11 points. Dianne Williams led Virginia Com­ monwealth with 14 points and 13 re­ bounds, despite hitting just three of 21 shots from the floor. The Lady Mountaineers return to ac­ tion this Saturday as they travel to Chatta­ nooga, Tenn. to clash with the TennesseeChattanooga Lady Moccasins. "At the half, we felt like we had played well, but we were down eight,"Apke said. "That was frustrating." Appalachian suffered a setback in the second half, when the 6'8" Spurlock, the squad's leading scorer and rebounder, in­ jured his arm while attempting to block a shot. "They (ASU trainers) thinkhe stretched a nerve," Apke said. "His arm is numb. They don't think it's serious." The loss dropped the Mountaineers to 1 l-10on the season, while Southern Mis­ sissippi raised its mark to 15-2. Parker scored 14 pointsin 19 minutes of action for the Mountaineers, while Nedd connected on six of his eight field goal attempts for 13 points. Ross chipped in nine points and five assists for the Apps. Apps take victory at track meet Ihomas scores 11 points in return to Mountaineer line-up By SHEA GRIFFIN mt Sports Editor points to permanently take the lead, 3931. Southern Mississippi took a 48-40 lead to the locker room at intermission. was forced to exit Monday night's game against Southern Mississippi early after sustaining a shoulder injury. According to Apke, Spurlock suffered"some trauma to the shoulder. He stretched the nerve and had some numbness in the arm. We expect him to be at full strength by Sat­ urday." ASU will certainly need the services of Spurlock, third in the conference in scoring at 21.7 and second in rebounding at nine, against Furman. "They are a hard, poised ballclub," Apke said of the Paladins. "They are a tough team to play because they've got a balanced attack. Bruce Evans is a very good inside player. Most importantly, we're going to have to defend them well and especially defend their good shoot­ ers." Evans, a 6'7" junior forward scored 14 points and had six rebounds in the clubs' first meeting. He leads Furman in scoring with 16.1 points per game and is second on the team in rebounding with 6.5 per contest. Senior guard Chris Bass, who scored 12 in the two teams' first contest, averages 12.7 points per game while se­ nior forward Tracy Garrick averages 11.5 points per game. Sophomore forward Derek Waugh, who lit the Mountaineers up for 18 points and nine rebounds in the first contest, averages 11 points and 7.8 rebounds per game. The Mountaineers will be facing what Apke described as a"hungry" team in the form of Furman. "They're going to be a very hungry team," Apke said. "They know if they want to stay in the race for the Southern Conferencechampionship, they have to rebound at home against us after losing at VMI." Monday night, the Apps face a Bulldog squad which boasts the league's top threepoint shooter in sophomore guard Aaron Nichols. Nichols is averaging over three 3-pointers per game and is second on the team in scoring with a 15.1 per game average. Appalachian defeated The Citadel 8474 Jan. 12 in Varsity Gym behind Spurlock's 26-point, five-rebound per­ formance. Powers also enjoyed a good game that night, scoring 11 points, claim­ ing six rebounds, blocking three shots and coming up with three steals as the taller, more physical Mountaineers wore down the Bulldogs in the second half. "The Citadel is a hard matchup for us to play against," Apke explained. "They don't play much of an inside game, and they sometimesput all five pi ay ers around the three-point line. They stay outside, and that makes it difficult for our bigger guys to play defense. "On Saturday, our big guys will have to concentrate on the inside defense. Then Monday, we'll have to shift gears and play good defense on the perimeter." With less than a month remaining be­ fore the start of the Southern Conference Tournament, the two upcoming confer­ ence games are important for the Moun­ taineers in terms of developing momentum heading into the season's stretch run. Apke said, "We're in a similar position that we were in last year. We can position our­ selves to have a good finish in the regular season and to have a fine tournament. We certainly hope to start that this Saturday and begin to position ourselves for the Southern Conference Tournament." The Lady Mountaineers indoor track squad took eight of 12 first place finishes in the Virginia Tech Relays this past weekend in Blacksburg, Va. Competing with Appalachian State were squads from Virginia Tech, James Madison, Duke, East Tennessee State, Liberty, Western Carolina, Davidson, Marshall and Washington and Lee. Sophomore Melissa Morrison paced the Mountaineer victory march with her first place finish in the 55-meter hurdles with a school record time of 8.18. The previous mark of 8.28 was set in 1987 by Bobby Puckett. Junior Sabrina Hill cap­ tured two individual event wins with her 5'4" high jump and 38'9" triple jump. Other ASU individual winners were jun­ ior Lynette Gardin in the 55-meter dash posting a 7.28 mark and junior Dee Anna Davis in the 3,000-meter run, finishing at 10:33.6. Appalachian State's 400-meter relay team of Gardin, Rogers, Jennifer Bowers and Monica Teeter finished first with a lime of 4:07.2, while the 800-meter relay team of Carrie Hogg, Carrie Robinson, Julie Anderson andTaniaFree finished at 9:56.7. The Sprint Medley team, whose members include Gardin, Rogers, Robinson and Bowers, ran for the first time in the AS U history and captured first place at 4:15.5. ASU Head Coach John Weaver was satisfied with the team's overall perfor­ mance at Virginia Tech, commenting,"We are very pleased with where our team is now. We have competed well and are improving perfectly." Indoor track Southern Conference Champions for three years running, Weaver believes the Lady Apps will be strong contenders for a fourth straight title in the championships on Feb.23 at East Tennessee State. "We have a very good chance at winning the conference championship in three weeks." Weaver said. "As usual, Appalachian is favored to win and if wedo what we are capable of, we should be able to capture the title. The key to our winning is that all of our ath­ letes remain healthy and compete well." Depth is most definitely prevalent among this squad, whose members boast top marks on the recently published Southern Conference Women's Indoor Track Ranking List. Members of the Lady Mountaineers' squad hold the first place rankings in events including the 5,000-meter run, 55-meter hurdles, triple jump, mile relay and two-mile relay as well as second place rankings in the 55meter dash, 400-meter dash, mile run, 30C0-meter run, high jump and shot-put The Lady Apps will have an open date this week before travelling to Clemson on Feb.16. �COUPON Classifieds £we?rv°!^MINt: «LLS NEW 10KT AND 14KT A BAHAMAS CRUISE, jewelry at discount prices.

President Bush quoted this same statement a couple weeks ago. Most of the world wants to get rid of the evil leader of Iraq. In the United States, people use words like "gone" and "out of the way" to lighten their real feelings. Many Americans want Saddam Hussein dead. Wouldn't it be easier that way? The president and other U.S. military officials have been asked this question. "Why don't we just remove Hussein from the picture?" Thp answer is easy. It's illegal. The president is bound by an executive order. The law, in essence, says that no government employee, funds or machinery can be used to assassinate a foreign leader. The U.S. tried to carry out such campaigns in Cuba, North Vietnam and other havens of evil tyrants, but they were not successful. Congress put an end to these attempts in the mid-1970s during the Ford administration. The forces of darkness could breathe a sigh of relief. The U.S., however, has tried to get around this law. Assassinations are illegal. Declaring war is not. The law described above states that if the military is going after a command structure, and the leader gets killed by that attack, then everything is okay for the American con­ science. War can bring about the desired end. It was simply an accident. The obvious paradox in this situation is that we can kill Hussein by accident, but we cannot hunt him down. Some people admit that chasing Hussein down is simply impractical. Baghdad is a big city and Hussein can hide anywhere he wants. Finding one man and shooting him or dropping a bomb on his head is almost impossible. And besides, it's wrong to hunt a world leader. Michael Gartner, president of NBC News in New York, doesn't find this answer very convincing. It's wrong to hunt Hussein, but"it's not wrong to declare war to kill him. It's not wrong to spend scores or billions of dollars, tosendhundredsofthousandsofyoung Americans off to a desert, tokill perhaps thousands of those Americans and probably lots more innocent Iraqis and Kuwaitis, to mess up this whole nation..." just to kill Hussein in the "name of war." The real reason the manhunt hasn' t begun is that m any see it as unethical. Certain things just are not done in the civilized world. They don't send someone over to kill Saddam Hussein. Also, killing Hussein would be breaking the law. Here is where the ethical argument breaks down. War is legal, therefore it is an ethical option. Killing Hussein intentionally is illegal, therefore it is unethical. How many scales of right and wrong, good and bad, and ethical and unethical do we carry around with us to fit our circumstances? Legal doesn't mean ethical. War is unethical in that it breaks one of the great laws of mankind: Do not take another person's life. Situation ethics should never exist, especially when dealing with human life. A man kills another man in Los Angeles over a parking space. Unethical . A soldier drops tons of explosives on a village in Iraq or Saudi Arabia. Ethical. As Charles Bronson put it in one of his violent flicks,"Killing without a license is murder." War provides the license to murder. By using the word "casualties", we lose the reality of what is happening in the Middle East and the world. We lose the mother who was killed while making dinner for her family. We lose the father who was killed fighting bravely for his country. We lose the little girl who liked books and wanted to leam French, until her world was destroyed by a bomb. Technology removes these faces of reality from our view. A fighter pilot fires his missiles three miles from his target. "What an explosion!" No thought of the destruction in the crater left by his package. Reality hurts our justified, "We-can-do-no-wrong" ego too much. We would rather carry our different scales of right and wrong around and use the one that best fits each occasion, the one that doesn't make us feel guilty. We are only fooling ourselves. "Casualties", "out of the way", "civilian areas" are all terms that mask the reality of war. The sword of war is how man decides disputes. Unfor­ tunately it has been thrust into our hand as a nation. Hussein must be stopped from his raping and pillaging, but that doesn't make killing right. As Americans, we cannot feel too justified by seeing ourselves as the proud cowboy on the white horse riding into Kuwait to save the day. By an accident of birth we were bom in the richest nation on earth. We could have easily been bom to an Iraqi merchant. We're not any better or worse than other humans fromother lands. If we think we are better, we're living in a dream world of cultural supremacy. Killing Saddam Hussein is unethical. War is unethi­ cal. Both involve the stealing ofa human life. Two scales of right and wrong do not exist when murder is the question. Philosophers may argue this point, but the foundation that murder is unethical should not be adapt­ able. Situation ethics only lead to national instability and hypocrisy. We all hope the war will end soon. Don't allow situation ethics to become a part of your thinking. Ho­ micide using push-button technology only clouds reality. Humans are humans, no matter what official position, no matter what nationality. The maiure view of the bombing in Iraq is not, "we hit them", rather "we hit us." Editor's note: Bauman has aBA.in theology and is currently studying business. "The Wall Street Journal" contributed to this article. New dog leash law bitterly attacked Prof satirizes law To the Editor: As a student of the absurd, I was becoming increasingly concerned that our Nintendo war would divert people from the trivial, banal and meaningless. Fortunately, our SGA proved me wrong. I really get sexed up when governing bodies make heavy, irrevo­ cable moves. Strong moral and philosophical stands leave me breath­ less. I'm just sort of pacing and panting in the wake of our SGA's ground­ breaking position on the dog issue. 1 mean, let's face it. They do poop on the ground, and then we walk in it. Sometimes they think your leg is their wife. They are hosts to parasites that will even bite humans if they get hungry enough. And they NEVER practice safe sex. Also, I've consulted with a number of theologians, and from the best I can tell, they don't even go to heaven. Given all the above, I think the SGA is right — we should not have to see dogs — they are morally inferior creatures who don't even regulate when and where they let wind. I only wish the SGA had the requisite huevos to initiate pogrom. We could hunt them down, understand the point of the entire article and scalp them. We could have a huge ' 2 and docs hot leave himself susceptible dog burning, on the quad, and send their to'anger and other unwarranted heathen souls to hell, or wherever it is emotions simply because things were that they go. taken out of context.

Psychology Department a Paint letter defended To the Editor: In response to Laura Wright's and James Davis' letter, "Letter Lacks Logic", Duane Herold and Scott Stewart would like to clarify a few points that were taken out of context as well as misinterpreted by Wright and Davis. First of all, we would like to stress the importance of reading a newspaper in an educated manner, in other words, read for the whole meaning and not just for catch phrases that catch your attention. An educated print media reader does not take things out of context but rather reads the entire article and then sits back to process all of the information. By doing this, he is able to The next drawing from out of context involves the following passage, "narrow-minded rationale has gotten us involved in a war in the Middle East." Out of context, Wright and Davis ASSUMED that we were talking about the United States. If they had read the article for the full meaning, they would have realized that we were talking about the Middle East, not the U.S. Because they read the last quote out of context, Wright and Davis took it upon themselves to question our knowledge of the Middle East region. The Middle East region IS the cradle of civiliza­ tion. .. confirmed by the location of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in Genesis 2:10-16. As for the history of the region since biblical times, it has never been at rest politically and usually not at peaceful terms with the surrounding areas (in plain terms... at war). Wright and Davis also accused us of a lack of knowledge of democracy. Deihdbracy is 'Simply it V& f ** choosing leaders, not a way of life like Wright and Davis said it was. As a matter of fact, democracy does not guarantee any of the rights that we Americans enjoy but rather it guaran­ tees competitive elections, office rotation (fixed terms), open campaigns, the ability of the people to choose their leader, and in America, it IMPLIES that more than one party is participat­ ing. Before the current leader of the USSR came to power, Russia claimed to be a democracy and it was. It gave all of the benefits of democracy, but it only offered one candidate. It was still a democracy in the strictest terms. The Constitution is what gives American citizens their rights of freedom. More specifically, it allows the right to dissent to war. Let's take a look at the impact of dissention in America. Hussein sits in Iraq and sees television footage of all of the protests and riots in the U.S. against the war. Do you think he is going to pull out of Kuwait if he knows he is crumbling the U.S. from the inside... I DO NOT THINK SO!!! We are followers of Christ and when we are approached about the war we simply reply, Habakkuk 1:1-5. In verse 5 Jesus says, "Look at the nations and watch and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told." God is planning something big and it is going to be good. If it is true peace that you are after, then give up on trying to find it on earth. It can only be found through Jesus Christ the son of God (Ephesians 2:24-28, John 14:27, Romans 5:1, Colossians 1:19-20). Davis and Wright also said, "We affirm that violence now breeds violence in later generations, and therefore support neither the troops nor the military ethic." "Love thy brother" is the greatest commandment of all (John 13:34). We love our brothers and we will support them in any of their endeavors, not because they are warriors in a battle of blood but because they are brothers in Jesus Christ. Mostly, our men do not need another Vietnam situation to come home to. Because of their efforts, we can live under the freedom of the Constitu­ tion and practice freedom of religion. We do acknowledge some of Davis' and Wright's valid points but we seriously regret that we had to take this action to try to clarify otherwise already clear points to those who read print media in an educated fashion.

In other reports, Jim Rice, director of civil and landscape engineering, said ASU's system of recycling was working rather well. Some items the University recycles are: white and colored ledger paper, computer paper, Styrofoam, glass and aluminum. Paper constitutes 60 to 70 percent of the total items recycled. Rice said, "We should be proud that we did not overreact to the Styrofoam issue. It is the only takeout product from Food Services that is currently recycleable." Even though recycling is going well, the revenues are going to the state and are not coming back to the university di­ rectly.

The student was also charged with Judicial Code 2.112 (drunk and disorderly), but the charge was dropped. This case lasted longer because the student pleaded not guilty. The defense stated that there were not violations committed on campus and that no citation was issued by the security officer. The prosecution argued that if the alcohol isstill in thebody while the person is on campus then the person is guilty. After deliberation, the defendant was found not guilty. The last case of the night dealt with Judicial Codes 2.106 and 2.115, assault and battery and violation of visitation policy. The student pleaded not guilty to assault and battery on the basis of selfdefense but guilty to the violation of the visitation policy. The justices of the student court found the defendant guilty on both charges. Who's Who nominated crew were missing after the crash late Saturday, and three were rescued. In other developments Sunday: the huge Persian Gulf oil slick, apparently unleashed from an offshore Kuwaiti ter­ minal by the Iraqis, was largely still but floated just 17 miles from a vital Saudi Arabian water desalinization plant; Baghdad radio said seven American pi­ lots whose planes were hit by Iraqi anti­ aircraft fire bailed out over Syria and were turned over to U.S. officials. The U.S. Embassy in Damascus, Syria, denied this. Pro-troop rallies still continue to show support for the U.S. forces in Saudi Arabia. In Washington, D.C., a crowd of 3,500 flag wavers marched around the White House Sunday to show troop support. 400 motorcycle riders led the parade down Pennsylvania Avenue past dozens of anti-war demonstrators in Lafayette Park. Some of the marchers chanted 'Two-four-six-eight. Bomb Iraq from Kuwait." Polls still show the American public is behind President Bush and the force used against Saddam Hussein to drive his army from Kuwait.

Budget cuts were another topic of Monday's meeting. Dr. Clinton Parker, associate vice chancellor for academic af­ fairs, and Dr. Ward Zimmerman, vice chancellor for business affairs, discussed with the senate the chronology of budget reductions. Student fees will most likely be raised, and adjustments will be made in enroll­ ment due to the reduction. A hiring freeze is already in effect and should last at least until July, if not beyond.

The selection process to find a new dean involved a committee on campus receiv­ ing applications for the job. They then selected several people to be interviewed from the candidates. The vice chancellor reviewed the committee's recommenda­ tions and then selected the dean based on the choices presented. Sink is active in the American Chemical So­ ciety, several statescien­ tific organizations, the American Field Service, the American Lung As­ sociation, and the Ex­ perimental Aircraft As­ sociation. The EAA last year gave Sink a Major Achievement Award.

Editor's Note: The News Bureau con­ tributed to this article. '7 treat students at school in the same way that I've treated mine at home." There are many ways a student can receiverecognition.Trophies, honor rolls, and scholarship are only a few. But unique to all other honors is being selected to Who's Who Among Students in Ameri­ can Universities and Colleges. "Students feel being elected to Who's Who is an lionor a prospective employer may recognize on aresume,"said Barbara Daye, associatevice chancellor of student development. Students can be nominated to Who's Who by several groups on cam­ pus or a student may nominate them­ selves. Groups on campus have a specific number of students they can nominate. The chancellor may nominate two, aca­ demic department chairs may nominate four from their department, and the direc­ tor of student programs can nominate eight The directors of intramurals, residence life, student involvement and leadership, and the administrative cabinet can also nominate a set number of students. How­ ever, the student senate is allotted the most number of nominees. They can nominate 50 students. All nominations are voted on by a board. This board consistsof representatives from academic departments, student leaders, and student development. "Who's Who determines how many students we can elect," Daye said, "then it is up to the university how they are chosen." Selection for Who's Who begins early in September. The deadline for nomina­ tions is published in "The Appalachian" and is posted on bulletin boards around campus. All nominations must be re­ ceived by the vice chancellor of student .development before the deadline. All nominees will have to meet a strict cri­ terion Criteri a for eligible nominees to Who's Who is impressive. Students must have at least a cumulative 2.5 grade ratio, they must have completed 75hours before the fall semester, and they must be currently enrolled in the university. This year the board of electors has selected 73 stu­ dents. Students can appear in Who's Who only once. But they can be nominated many times. Electors are not looking only for students with high grade point averages, but for those involved with other activities."Students feel election to Who's Who is a validation of academic and co curricular achievement," Daye said. ASU is a part of the Who's Who pro­ gram so that exceptional students can receive recognition. Who's Who Among American Universities and Colleges was established in 1934. Tom Brokaw, John Connally, Jesse Jackson, Elizabeth Dole, Bart Starr, and Gary Hart are former students selected to Who's Who. Once selected to Who's Who a student receives a personalized certificate, local and national publicity, inclusion into the Who's Who directory, and lifetime use of of the Who's Who reference service. A special ceremony is held in the spring to honor ASU students selected to Who's Who. �Human rights activists speak Feb. 13 at Appalachian: Human nghts activists Marie Otero and her husband.

(CPS) - A majority of students at five out of six colleges said salary was their number-one priority whenchoosing a job, a new survey has found. Most students - 63 percent of those asked in the Coors Light College Survey released Jan. 10 - said the most important factor in deciding whether to take a job was salary. Moreover, 74 percent of the students expect to make between $20,000 and $50,000 per year in their first job out of college. In Coors survey last year, students ranked the potential for advancement and responsibility as more important than salary. "Given today's economic outlook, students may feel that salary is now a more important consideration,"speculated BobMcBride, Coors Light brand director. Everyone I've ever known says money" is the most important consider­ ation, agreed Jennifer Karas, a senior at Colorado State University. Yet ColoradoState was the only school surveyed where a majority of students didn't choose salary as a top priority.

The Virginia survey showed alcohol to be the drug of choice among the collegeage population, with77 percent indicating they had had a drink within the previous 30 days.The same percentage applied whether the students were over or under the legal drinking age of 21. Eighty-one percent said they'd been drunk at least once. About 41 percent said they regularly consumed alcohol, and 38 percent said they had drunk heavily more than five drinks atone sitting - in the two weeks before the survey was taken. While only 4 percent of students sur­ veyed felt that frequent drunkenness was appropriate behavior, they felt that 28 percent of their peers would find nothing wrong with being drunk. The survey also found little use of co­ caine, LSD, or drugs such as ecstasy, methamphetamine or heroin. Eleven per­ cent had used marijuana or hashish within the month before the survey and 25 per­ cent within the year.

Professors look at ASU in 20-year retrospect By USA MULLDON Appalchian Staff Writer Picture a small college nestled in a valley, with a few red brick buildings and walking paths through the grass. An English professor walks with a history professor as they try to decide what their 9 ajn. class discussion topic will be. Students try to plan activities for the weekend as they walk to class with their 6,000 other classmates. Now picture this college 20 years later, trans­ formed into a university almost twice its original size. Many more red brick and stone buildings are found on the campus, while the campus itself has grown remarkably. Most classes are taught by only one professor. However, many more classes are offered. The now 11,500 students are still friendly, but weekend plans can now include more places in Boone for entertainment Is this progress an improvementor for the worse? Well, in the case of ASU, that of course, depends on who you ask. Dr. Charles Blackburn, a pro fessor in the history department said he is "one of those who thinks in terms of progress: bigger as better." Blackburn went on to say, 'The administration has done a good job in getting enough space and money to keep the student/teacher ratio fairly low. As far as classrooms are concerned, we still have a small school atmosphere. [The college] had larger classes 20 years ago than we do today." One noticeable change in ASU has been achange in the students. As Dr. Bill Moss, a professor in the psychology department points out, there are more first-generation college students (meaning those whose parents did not go to college) than there were 20 years ago. This makes students more excited about college, with greater expectations and motivation. Students seem to be more prepared for college than they used to be. Blackburn said,"[Students are] more world-wise than they used to be. Stu­ dents today are more likely toenter into meaningful discussions than before." Dr. Ron Coulthard, a professor in the English department, sees students as "better informed, more sophisticated, but by and large don't work as hard." Dr. Frans van der Bogert, professor in the phi­ losophy department, has noticed a marked improvement in students' writing ability . He also feels adifferent emphasis has been puton learning. Van der Bogertsaid, "My students seem to be more interested in learning for its own sake as opposed to just learning for its own sake as opposed to just learning to prepare for a job." He goes on to say that students are pursuing a diversity of interests including the arts andliterature instead of continu­ ing on just one track. One strong disadvantage of ASU'sgrowth would have to be in the areaof faculty relations. As Moss points out,"My first year here I knew more people in different disciplines. There was more of a collegial atmosphere." Since the faculty has grown so much, the amount of cross-discipline teaching and team teaching has decreased. More emphasis seems to be placed on See PROFESSORS page 8 Biology professor researches artherosclerosis Special to the Appalachian Cardiovascular (CV) disease, commonly known as heart attack, stroke and congestive heart failure, is the number one cause of death in the United States. The single most important type of CV disorder is atherosclerosis, or "hardening of the arteries." Since beginning her doctoral work in 1981, ASU biology faculty member Dr. Dru Anne Henson has been engaged in efforts to understand the causes of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis begins with a loss of elasticity and thickening of the arterial walls due to an accumulation of cholesterol, a kind of lipid or fat. This fat is not simply stuck to the inside of the artery walls like rust in a pipe but accumulates inside certain white blood cells called monocytes. These monocytes leave the blood and crawl into artery walls and engulf the fat. These abnormal areas (lesions) may become so large that they totally obstruct blood flow through an artery. If the artery supplies the heart, a heart attack occurs; when the organ is the brain, a stroke occurs. While high levels of cholesterol in the blood tend to accelerate this process, there are a number of other "risk factors" which may increase one's chanceof developing atherosclerosis. Some of these include smoking, obesity, gender, sedentary life style and family history of the disease. The aspect of atherosclerosis which Dr. Henson studies involves the ingestion of cholesterol by monocytes in lesion sites. The topic/goal of Henson's dissertation was to determine how and why monocytes take up cholesterol to the point of self-destruction. She discovered that monocytes possess "receptors" on their cell surface that spe­ cifically bind cholesterol-containing lipoproteins present in the blood. Once bound, the monocytes engulf the cholesterol. They can store massive amounts of the fat within their cytoplasm. Produc­ tion of these fat-engorged cells contributes to the mass of the atherosclerotic lesions and the danger of blockage. Dr. Henson is now studying what happens to cholesterol once it is ingested by mono­ cytes. She also has a graduate student, Les Wan, conducting studies to determine how monocytes "know" when and where to enter the artery wall. Dr. Henson has co-authored two scientific pa­ pers on atherosclerosis since her arrival at ASU in 1986. With most of the time occupied by teaching classes in immunology and animal physiology, Henson hopes to inspire more biology graduate students to do theses on atherosclerosis. Spring break hotspots Check out these students' vacation ideas By KATRINA WITTKAMP Appalachian Staff Writer March is right around the corner, and that means many people are starting to plan their spring break trips. The decision of where to go is not a easy one to make, and some have no idea where 1991's spring break "hotspot" is. Some favorite choices for Appalachian students are Florida and Colorado, though many prefer to just take it easy over spring break and spend the vacation sleeping late and relaxing. "I just can't wait for everyone to get out of Boone and leave me alone." one senior said. Florida offers thechance to get a great tan and be with hundredsof othercollege students. But before you pack up your bikini and head for Daytona, think of the many other great beaches Florida has to offer. "I went to Tampa Bay last year, and then to Clearwater Beach, which was packed with people. The beacheswere nice, and there were a lot of dance clubs and bars downtown." junior Brent Wilkinson said. Senior Kelly Smith said that Mi­ ami and the Florida Keys were also lots of fun. Daytona definitely seems to bea preferred beach destination. An estimated 500,000 students from the United States and Canada will flock to Daytona Beach this spring break for a little fun in the sun. This Florida party beach offers a night life that is far from being boring and 23 miles of sandy beaches. It also has numerous bathing suitcontests, hotels in every price range, and it even has MTV. If you plan to attend this week-long party in Daytona, you'd better bring your charge card. According to Daytona's visitor's bureau, the aver­ age total trip expenditure was $532.44 per student, and this is excluding transportation. While some prefer to tan their bodies over spring break, others love to hit the slopes in the West. "Breckenridge is a picturesque Colorado town with lots of friendly people and bars. Arapahoe Basin is steep and deep. It has good skiing but just not enough women. Both places are definitely better than Daytona," senior Tom Hall said. Aspen is another favorite Colorado destination. "We go every year to Aspen. It is a real high class town with many bars and awesome skiing. You can ski in short sleeves and shorts then go jump in the hot tub. It's great," junior Landon Watts said. Senior Brent Lamm suggested Montana as a place to go if you like skiing, backpacking or cross country skiing. Whether you are planning to head south to warm weather, or west for that ski tan or just vegetate for a week, be safe, drink only in moderation and most of all, have a great time.

Matmen split two league matches By WILL ROTHSCHILD Appalachian Staff Writer : i : .' . i.• • > ASU's wrestling team moved their sea­ son record to 9-6 and 1-1 in the Southern Conference after splitting a pair of home league matches last week. The Mountaineers beat Furman 26-20 Wednesday night, then dropped a 26-12 decision to the University of Tennessee at Chatta­ nooga on Friday. Scott Beauchamp, JevonMorris, Adrian Hines, Chris Sanders and John Reynolds were all winners for ASU against Furman. ^flpotoeWon Photo by KoMi Jockoon WPLING FOR POSITION: ASU'S Adrian Hines locks up with Tennessee-Chattanooga's Ben Baumer during a 158-pound %) Saturday. Hines, who usually wrestles in the 150-pound class, defeated Baumer, but the Moccasins rebounded to beat the •ameers 26-12. The Mountaineers host Winston-Salem State tonight at 7 p.m. in Varsity Gym. Mountaineer Head Coach Paul Mance said after the Furman match, "We're real pleased with some of the matches but a couple of matches were disappointments. We're beat up right now and it's hard to wrestle good matches when you have so many injuries. It's a win, but by far it's the closest Furman has come against us." The injuries Mance was referring to include ASU's starting 118-pounder An­ tonio Calloway and Mark Baker, thestart­ ing heavyweight for the Mountaineers. In addition, two ASU freshmen were forced to wrestle against older, more experienced Paladins. The First, Chad Collins, went up against senior Marty Fajerman in the 142-pound category and lost 7-2. Fajerman is ranked number one if the SC in his weight classification. "Chad Collins made a couple of fresh­ man mistakes againsta fifth-year senior," Mance explained. "He could only have won if he wrestled aperfect match against the Furman kid. Collins is a good wres­ tler, but he's still a freshman." Mance was pleased with the perfor­ mances of Beauchamp, who wrestled at 126 pounds for the first time, and Morris and Hines but said he expected better performances from freshman 158pounder Heath Wilson and 167-pounder Bill Baker. ASU's demise against UTC can be largely attributed to the absence of Calloway andBaker, whichforced Mance to do some shuffling with his lineup. "If we'd had Calloway in there, we would have won it because that was a crucial weight, and we wouldn't have been forced to gamble," Mance said. Those gambles included moving Wil­ son to 150 and Hines to 158 in an effort to win both those weights. Mance explained, "In moving Wilson to 150, we were hop­ ing to win 150 and 158 because we knew we'd get hammered in theheav ier weights. Hines could win at both weights, but we thought Wilson had a better chance of winning at 150." Hines did his part, winning at 158, but the gamble backfired when Wilson lost a 150 and ASU was forced to try to make up the difference in the heavier weights. To make that task all the more difficult, ASU was forced to wrestle UTC's Brett Gustaffon at 177, a defending two-time conference champion. Gustaffon pinned Appalachian freshman David Lancaster as ASU dropped the last four matches and the Moccasins sealed up the victory. Other winners for ASU were Beauchamp at 126, Morris at 134 and Collins at 142.

Beginning in 1992, Division I basket­ ball programs can begin practice on Nov.1 and open the season on Dec.1.

"Seven years ago, our athletic depart­ ment reduced the number of contests our teams could play in aseason," Laney said. "Seven years later the NCAA did the same thing. That made us look good." Effective Aug. 1, teams in all sports will be allowed to practice 20 hours a week during the season and eight hours a week out of the season, with the exception of spring practice in football. A proposal was also passed at the con­ vention to reduce the number of scholar­ ships in Division I sports by 10 percent Effective August 1,1992, there will be a graduated, three-year reduction in Divi­ sion I-A and I-AA football and a two-year graduated reduction in Division I basket­ ball. The reduction will be effective in equivalency (non-revenue) sports, Aug. 1,1993. Roberson added 13 and Neoma Konrad chipped in 10. Sandra Williams led the 49ers with 25 points and 13 rebounds. UNCC's post playerscontrolled the boards from the beginning to the end. Williams and Hart, the 49ers' two starters down low, out-rebounded theentire ASU squad, 26-35. The Lady Mountaineers were down by 22 at halftime, due in part to 60 percent shooting by the 49ers. The Lady Apps conversely shot 34 percent from the field and committed 21 turnovers. "Charlotte is very good. If we play mediocre, we lose by 12 or 15. If we play well, it's a close game. We just played awful," Robinson said.

Shortly after his term began. Secretary of State James B aker announced the Israelis must make more of an effort to reach a peaceful solution to their stand-off with the Palestinians. This comes despite the fact it has been the Palestinians who have constantly rejected any reasonable peace ini­ tiative offered and have steadfastly called for the termi­ nation of the Israeli state. Time and again the Bush administration has called on the Israelis to show restraint in dealing with the Arabs but—until recently—has seldom asked the same of the Arabs. Now the Bush administration has locked itself into an alliance, if not to say a stranglehold with Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia and other bitter enemies of Israel, who has been and remains our only true ally in the region. The recent missile attacks by Saddam Hussein against Israel have been totally unprovoked and unjustified.

The event was sponsored by SGA and WASU. I believe that overall it went well and many pieople were touched by the service. However, there are some issues that must not go unnoticed. Several of my friends and I wanted to show our support by holding up an American flag, but we were told by several members of the Student Government Association that we could not do this for fear that it would cause a conflict with the anti-war protesters on this campus. I was even told that if I held up an American flag, I was supposed to be written up. It is easy to understand the possibility of chaos that may have resulted had we been allowed to hold up our flag. However, I felt that my rights were infringed upxm when I was not able to express support to my country and its troops. How can it be justified for an individual to bum a flag while others are not allowed to display our symbol of freedom? It is a shameful disgrace when citizens of the U.S. cannot be patriotic in a time of war. Also, how can anyone who is genuinely concerned about pieace and the environment sit back and watch Saddam Hussein destroy the Persian Gulf, polluting the water and killing innocent wildlife? Saddam Hussein is evil and inhumane. He is the world's enemy. Our troops are fighting to free Kuwait from this monster for the sake of democracy, while their loved ones are being denied their own liberties here at home. Finally, and most importantly, the troops we were supporting last Thursday night would be very hurt as well as outraged that we were forbidden to hold up the very flag they are fighting under. I firmly believe that we as citizens should always strive to support our country, whether or not we agree with the actions of our government, and when the day comes when we are asked to suppress our American pride, this great country is in danger.

In the past, there was only a memoran­ dum on dog control which was sent out in 1978 by former Chancellor Herbert W. Wey. The policy notes that the condition of dogs running on the ASU campus has been a continual problem and restricts all dogs to be kept on leashes. According to Senator Shelby Johnson, as a university policy "... this is not being enforced." Johnson also noted that the campus pet policy provides that only tropical fish are to be allowed in the residence halls. Students will be reminded of the bill by a letter that Chancellor Thomas will issue toexplain the pet policy on campus, according to Yelton. Yelton commented,"We wantstudents to know that we will be enforcing this in the future." Frank Hall Representative Matt Williford argued that the presence of the dogs on campus positively adds to the atmosphere. Williford stated, "We need to get rid of the problems with the attacks, but keep the atmosphere that the dogs add."

Students should be able to go to class without having to fear being at­ tacked by a dog." By RANDALL REININK Appalachian Staff Writer At the meeting, it was also noted that neither Boone nor Watauga County has any type of leash law in effect. Another senator added support that dogs need to be controlled. Ashley Hutchinson commented,".. .Ten years from now we'll have the same problem if it's not dealt with in this way." The dog control policy, which goes into effect immediately, will cause unattended dogs to be taken to the animal shelter. Owners can reclaim their dogs by contact­ ing the security department or the animal control office. Yelton stated that the animals would possibly be contained in the security ga­ rage area before being taken to the animal shelter. Since all dogs in Boone and Watauga County are required to be regis­ tered, then the owner would be contacted from the information on the tag.

Computer counselor helps with lightweight problems life, relationships, stress, alcohol and drugs. Feid stated the computer counselor is meant to be "kind of humorous" and is "not for heavyweight problems." lyBRrrr ELLIS Appalachian Staff Writer A computer counseling service over <Vax System will go into effect this Wester before spring break, according •Wellness Center Coordinator Kit Olson. Olson referred to the computer coun­ selor as "informative but fun." The pur­ pose of the computer counselor is "not to replace the counseling center, but supplement (it)," according to Feid. The computer counselor will be avail­ able on computers hooked up to the Vax System in computer labs across campus. According to Feid, it will also be acces­ sible to any of the five public computer terminals in Belk Library, the student Bob Feid, assistant vice chancellor of •lent development, said the computer Wnselor will be "like a computerized tot Landers." The computer counselor is 'students who feel uncomfortable go•jtoihe counseling center, Feid stated. Bison said the computer counselor concentrate on problems in personal union, Broyhill Inn, the administration building, and the information office lo­ cated on the first floor of Founders Hall. Olson stated that the name for the com­ puter counselor is "Uncle Sigmund." Olson added that the name was chosen to make a connection with Sigmund Freud. When asked who would be doing the counseling, Olson responded that a "full-time staff member (from the counseling center) will." The program used for "Uncle Sigmund" will be the Videotext System. The first screen of the program explains what it is and what it is not meant to do, such as take the place o f thecounsel ing centeror "handle serious problems," Feid said. A person would then type their problem on the computer and sign a name such as "De­ spair," Feid stated. Olson said that the response time will be "approximately three days." The re­ sponse will come through the computer and will be open for all people to see, according to Feid, but the response will be directed to the anonymous name. The idea for the computer counselor originated when Dr. Greg Blimling, vice chancellor of student development, sug­ gested it in August. The idea also came from Cornell University in N.Y. Cornell started a similar program, "Dear Uncle Ezra," in September 1986. The program has since proved successful, according to Feid. When asked if he would use the com­ puter counselor, ASUjuniorBryanSmith said, "Yea, I think it would be a good idea." Sophomore Noelle McGuinness commented, "I wouldn't because I have other meansof counseling " Junior Scott Stewart said he would use the computer counselor "once, just tosee how it works." When asked the willingness of stu­ dents to use thecomputer counselor, Feid said that "some students would and some students wouldn't, we don't know." Feid said thissemester would be apilot semes­ ter to see how the computer counselor works and where to go with the new idea. niors honor Broyhill family ASU grads satisfied RAEBEASLEY '• f'tor-in-Chief • Senior Committee at ASU has •4 a garden area in honor of the ™l family as the 1991 Senior Class "B; Really what we are trying to do is ^seniors a chance to give something 10 ^ university," Kevin Patton, "kemember and chair of the senior PSSgift, 'committee, said.

"They have been a leading contributor to Appalachian in past years. They met Senior Class Gift from the senior class of 1991 is shown in the sketch above. here and were later married," Patton said. The garden area will consist of a gazebo and benches surrounded by flowers and trees and will be on the front lawn of the B.B. Dougherty administration building. Seniors will be encouraged to partici­ pate in the class gift during the phoneathon Feb. 3-7. According to Patton, dur­ ing this week a senior will be calling the approximately 2,500 seniors at ASU to explain the suggested payment plan and to solicit pledges from the class. The com­ mittee will ask each senior to pledge SI50 to the gift over the next five years. "Anyone who is interested may partici­ pate in the program. Last year several clubs and organizations participated in thel990 senior gift," Patton said. The suggested payment plan is S10 be­ fore graduation, $20 in 1992, S30 in 1993, $40 in 1994 and $50 in 1995. These in­ stallments equal $150, the entire pledge asked from each senior. According to Patton, any senior who wishes to pay the entire $150 at once may do so. Patton said the goal for this year's class gift is $30,000. The committee hopes that 450 seniors will pledge. According to Patton, the university physical plant will do the construction and the project will be dedicated at the five year reunion for the 1991 class. The Senior Committee started the tradi­ tion of contributing a class gift to the university last year when the committee was first formed. Last year the gift was a statue of D.D. Dougherty, which will be placed in front of Belk library in 1994.

ASU News Bureau A survey of 1988 ASU graduates shows the majority are satisfied with the quality of education they received at the univer­ sity, and most would attend Appalachian again if they had the choice. The survey, conducted by the General Administration, drew responses from 627 graduates. Dr. Bill Ward, assistant vice chancellor for academic affairs, called the survey a report card from the graduates. "They put us on their dean's list," he said of the results. The survey was divided into four cat­ egories: academic programs, student services, cognitive skills and personal development. Of the students responding to the sur­ vey, 94.9 percent said they were satisfied with theoverall instruction at Appalachian. A total of 87.9 percent of the students surveyed would choose ASU if they could begin their college career again. Systemwide only 82.6 percent of the class of 1988 indicated they would return to their alma mater. ASU graduates were alsosatisfied with the instruction received in their major, with 94.6 percent responding favorably. A total of 96.1 percent of the graduates expressed satisfaction with Appalachian's library services. Though it's often an area to receive criticism, graduates expressed satisfac­ tion with the university's registration process, with 75.9 percent responding favorably compared to 63.6 percent sys­ tem-wide. Theuniversity's residence halls (87.2 percent), campus sponsored recre­ ational opportunities (91.2 percent) and health services (91.1 percent) also drew marks higher than the UNC system aver­ age. According to the survey, more than 85 percent of Appalachian's graduates said their college experience improved writ­ ing, speaking and comprehension skills. In addition, graduates said their experi­ ences at Appalachian led to a better un­ derstanding of diverse cultures and val­ ues, instilled a desire for lifelong learn­ ing and strengthened their appreciation of the arts. The survey revealed some areas graduates felt needed fine tuning. Stu­ dents at ASU—as did students at the other UNC system schools—expressed only lukewarm satisfaction with academic advising. Only 64.9 percent of Appalachian's graduates expressed sat­ isfaction, compared to 64.5 percent sys­ tem-wide. "We are at a disadvantage there (aca­ demic advising), but that is an area in which every institution could do better than it does," Ward said. Measures are already in place which should raise satisfaction with academic adv ising in thenext survey. "The class of 1988 did not have the benefit of the far more intensive advising process the General College has instituted in the last two years," Ward said. The survey showed 64.6 percent of students who enrolled as freshmen in 1983 at Appalachian have graduated from a university in the system, or remain enrolled at Appalachian or another sys­ tem school. Appalachian's freshmen to sophomore dropout rate is less than half the national average. Saddam Hussein has turned up the heat in the Gulf Crisis another notch. Since last week Hussein has burned and spilled millions of gallons of crude oil. War has always been a threat to human life, now it is a threat to a large portion of the environment. Since last week, the Iraqis (under the direction of Saddam Hussein) have set fire to three Kuwait oil facilities. Hussein vowed in September to turn Kuwait oil fields "into an inferno" if Iraq was in­ vaded. However, the oil that comes above ground could be burned. Underground reserves will be safe because there is no oxygen underground. Oil well fires are difficult toextinguish, according to industry experts. Since it can take up to weeks to put out an oil well fire, with entire oil fields burning, putting out all the fires will take some time. The news of the oil fields burning has not escaped the notice of scientists and environmentalists in the United States. Widespread and long burning oil fires might unleash a 1,000-miIe-long plume of smoke. Burning oil releases carbon dioxide which contributes to global warming. Noted astronomer Carl Sagan warns that these fires, if left burning for a long period of time, could release enough soot to block the sun. Reduction of sunlight to the earth could cause large crop failures and starvation. Scientists for the Environmental Pro­ tection Agency and the Pentagon contend that this is not a realistic theory.They say that while the smoke would cause pollu­ tion in neighboring Iran and eastern Asia, a wide-scale climatic change is unlikely. In order for significant climatic change to occur, the oil smoke would have to drift high into the atmosphere. Sagan argues that this smoke will rise to the upper atmosphere. However, the government scientists and the National Academy of Science contend that the smoke will not rise that high. Dr. Howard Neufeld of the ASU biology department says: "No one will know until it happens. My view is more conservative. I tend to side with the EPA." While the effects of large amounts of burning oil are undetermined, an oil spill is currently threatening the coast of Saudi Arabia. President Bush charges the Iraqis with pumping large amounts of crude oil di­ rectly into die Persian Gulf, while Iraq blames American fighter bombers with damaging several anchored oil tankers. Department of Defense officials are unable to determine the exact amounts of oil that have been released into the gulf. But they do confirm that the Iraqis have pumped "many times" more oil than the 11 million gallons the Exxon Valdez spilled in Alaska. Experts say that an oil spill of this size would normally be difficult to clean up, but it may be next to impossible in a war zone. Meanwhile, wildlife and wetlands in Saudi Arabia are at risk. Cormorants, dolphins, sea turtles and the area's shrimping industry have al­ ready been affected. Coral reefs and coastal grasses in the area will be dam­ aged or destroyed. The most imminent threat to the people of the area is the contamination of their desalination plants. These industrial plants turn sea water into fresh water. The Saudis are already familiar with the threat oil poses to these plants. Editor's note: 'The Charlotte Ob server" and "The Washington Postcontributed to this article. �The Appalachian.

Governor Martin may hike taxes: As part of a budget-balancing package. Gov. Jim Martin will propose letting N.C. counties raise the local sales tax by half a cent. The tax increase would cost the average N.C. family about Si50 a year and would generate roughly $240 million for local governments. Iraqi planes fly to Iran; POW killed: More Iraqi warplanes flew into Iran, apparently to escape U.S. and allied bombers. Lt. Gen. Thomas Kelly, director of operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said about 90 Iraqi airplanes are now in Iran. That number represents more than one-tenth of the Iraqi air force. Iraq claims that one of the captured allied fliers was killed in a bombing raid.The POW was held at a likely target, says Iraq. The allies list 28 airmen as missing since the air attacks began Jan. 17. Stamps to increase: New postage rates become effective Feb. 3. The cost of a first-class stamp will be 29 cents for the first ounce and 23 cents for each additional ounce.

The rule, meant to curb the default rate on student loans, forces students without a high school diploma or equivalent to pass a test proving they have the "ability to benefit from getting a federal loan to go to college. "I think it will devastate this college district," added Donald G. Phelps of the Los Angeles Community College District, where Phelps estimated some 60,000 stu­ dents would have to take the test if they were first registering now. .Blair estimated about 100,000 trade school students nationwide will be affected by the rule.

(CPS) A staff member, not an "outside saboteur," probably inserted a provocative quote from Adolf Hitler into the masthead of a fall issue of the Dartmouth Review, the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith concluded after an investigation of the incident. The quote, in which Hitler characterized his desire to strip German Jews of their citizenship as"the Lord's work,"prompted student rallies and broad administrative condemnation of the Review, an independent paper funded by several conservative I foundations. "This is a paper that has been grossly insensitive to Jewish people and other I groups, said the ADL s Richard Glovsky of the Review, which has provoked previous campus protests for publishing the names of gay students, leading the vandalism of an anti-apartheid shanty on campus and mounting a prolonged verbal attack on a minority professor.

As girls and boys go through adolescence, both experience traumatic physical changes and both lose self-esteem, the study claimed. But while boys tend to recover dicjr selfjesjeem soon, girls take a longer time.

If you enjoy a basic, college oriented guitar, bass and percussion sound, this band is for you. The show starts at 9:30 p.m. but, if past concerts are any indications, plan to stay dancing late into the night hours. The Outer Limits consists of Will Marley on guitar and lead vocals, Greg Pope on bass and vocals and Rob Schladensky on percussion and vocals. The band formed in 1987 with all members attending ASU. Since that time the band has at­ tracted a strong, loyal following that seemsto grow and grow with each performance. Percussionist Rob Schladensky said, "Our music appeals to the college crowd, and our style attracts a wide, varied following." In just over three years, the Outer Limits have played every major city in North Carolina and have reached parts of Virginia and South Carolina. The band has played with many artists including The Romantics and Melissa Etheridge. ^SHANNON SPARKS IF lachian Staff Writer jM ' "DJ.| Play That Favorite Song For Me!" i ^ePub was dark, empty and ghostly quiet; (dim before the storm of avid clubbers and nce-partiers.

From "Bambi" to "The Jungle Book," Disney has drawn all types and ages of people to the theaters time and time again. The Disney reputation alone was enough to make me want to see the newest of these legendary films, "White Fang." Originally a novel by Jack London, "White Fang" is set during the Alaskan gold rush. It is the story of a boy who makes his way to Alaska along with so many others to get his stake in the riches. His father has died and left instructions for his son, Jack, tosearch for gold on hisclaim. Upon reaching Alaska, Jack finds two men who knew his father and persuades them to take him to his claim. As they travel across the frigid Alaskan frontier, Jack learns the life which lies before him may not be what he had expected. However, he is commit­ ted to his father's memory and, as each day passes, becomes more intrigued with the new life he is about to begin. Along the way, the group is hounded by a pack of wolves. In this pack, there is a baby wolf that catches Jack's attention. Throughout the movie. Jack and the wolf s lives are closely intertwined. "White Fang" is rated PG, but adults should think twice before taking young children to sec it. There is some simulated cruelty to animals. Even though, at the beginning of the movie, we are assured that no animals were injured in the creation of the film, sometimes it seems all too real. Itcould be difficult for children to grasp this concept. Even though some things in the film might be hard for children to understand, there is nothing difficult to understand about the relationship be­ tween a boy and a dog. White Fang is part wolf and part dog. From the beginning, Jack feels a strong sense of companionship with him.This is a univer­ sal theme since people, especially children, often form strong bonds with animals. "White Fang" is a classic story which, with the help and imaginationof Walt Disney Pictures, is an outstanding movie.The Alaskan setting is beautiful, and the animals and the characters make clear contact with the audience. In the Disney tradition, "White Fang" evokes a parade of emotions. Various bands scheduled to play this weekend By SALLY KUHL Appalachian Diversions Editor When making your weekend plans, consider catching one or all of the following NorthCarolinabased bands playing in the area. Dillon Fence—The Chapel Hill-basedband who opened to a packed house this past fall for the Connells returns to Appalachian tonight to play at Legends. This four-member band who established them­ selves while attending UNC-Chapel Hill took their name from a fence along 1-95 in Dillon, S.C. Lead singer Greg Humphreys described the fence as a "folk art site at a junk yard that is shocking and pleasing." While the band pleases crowds four nights a week in North Carolina and surrounding states, Humphreys described their shows as a good time. "We play guitar pop with British, R&B and funk influences," Humphreys said. Humphreys and Bass player Chris Goode met and began playing together while attending R.J. Reynolds High School in Winston-Salem. They met gui tanst Kent Alphin and drummer Scott Carle (former member of Bad Checks) while in college. The group has been playing together for about four years. name from apuppet on the television show "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" will play a mix of origi­ nals and covers. Drummer Zeke Hutchins, rhythm guitarist and lead vocalist Johnny Irion, lead gui­ tarist Ryan Pickett and electric bass player Chris Holloway have been friends since their elementary school days in Durham. Last year they released an album titled Dillon Fence and have plans to release their second album in the fall. Legends' doors open at 8:30 p.m., and advance tickets are S4 for students and $5 for the public. All tickets are $5 at the door. Psycho Acoustics Research and Develop­ ment—This four-member band of ASU students has been playing together for two and a half years and has wntten 28 songs. In addition to originals, they play their own arrangements of songs by Led Zepplin, Dead Kennedys, Steve Miller Band, Big Black, and Van Halen. Friday, the Psycho Acoustics will present a new surprise arrangement of a cover in the Pub. Queen Sarah Saturday—Opening for Dillon Fence, this four-member rock band who took their Vocalist Karsten Schrooer, lead guitarist Lawrence Winn and bass pi ay er Jeff Umbarger got Folk artist performs Movin together as freshmen at Appalachian in '87 and formed the band Fear and Loathing, taken from the title of a Hunter S. Thompson book. Drummer S teven Carter met the band members thefollowing year as a freshmen and wanted to join, but they were content using a drum machine. One night the machine broke, and Carter filled in. Thus, PsychoAcoustics was formed. The band's influences come from funk, punk, psychedelic, disco, metal, alternative, and dance music. "Songwriting is hard because we each have our own idea of how the music should sound," Carter said."Jeff has a tendency to play heavy funk rhythms while Lawrence is more interested in playing high pitch melodically screaming guitar riffs. I tend to play rhythms that are danceable, but I have a tendency to add heavy metal drum fills," he said. "Karsten tries to synthesize it all." The music starts at 9 p.m. and tickets are $2 for students and S3 for guests. f-n-g Pretentiousness.

The Outer Limits established a loyal following by playing original music with deep roots in college life and human nature. Since their debut at Amadeus, they have played with such groups as The Romantics, Melissa Ethridge, Dreams So Real and Hege V. One unique factor that sets The Outer Limits apart from other college bands is the independence of original music. The band plays an occasional cover, but most of their shows are pure Outer Limits. The Outer Limits have a sound that transcends the traditional classifications of today's music. The terms progressive, alternative and even pop rock describe aspects of the band's sound but do not convey the essence of the music. The Outer Limits write and play music with deep roots in college life and human nature.The band breaks the barrier of category with a personal tone that any college audience can relate to. Sparks is a junior English °ote,/V.C. Special to the Appalachian Tom Chapin brings his folk music to Farthing Auditorium tonight at 8 p.m. Chapin's success lies in the intangible element which combines earthiness, genuine concern and a personal warmth that makes everyone feel like a treasured, long lost friend. His concerts span gen­ erations and stereotypes. "Mine is not a traditional music, but it comes from a tradition,"Chapin said."My musical heroes are people like Pete Seeger and Woodie Guthrie who wrote and sang real songs for real people; for everyone, old, young, and in between." Chapin's career began to take shape at age 12. "I heard 'The Weavers At Carnegie Hall' album, and that was it as far as I was concerned," said Chapin. "The next day I went out and bought my first guitar and started rehearsing with my brother. That was the beginning of 10 years together." Chapin's break came in 1971 when he became the host for a new ABC-TV kid's show, "Make A Wish." He worked with Peter Gimbel as sound technician for theclassic shark documentary "Blue Water, White Death" in 1969 which inspired the thriller "Jaws." Chapin was the winner of the 1990 National Association of Campus Activities Harry Chapin Award for Humanitarianism, named after his late singer/songwriter/activist brother, for his work with WHY (World Hunger Year). Chapin has recorded three solo albums of his own material: "Life is Like That" (1976), "In the City of Mercy" (1982) and the recently released children's album "Family Tree." Of his recordings, "Rolling Stone Reviews" reported, "Good-hearted sixties-style folkiness is the mode here, with Chapin's lucid vocals riding high over spare, intelligent arrangements. Records this straightforward and unassuming tend to have a hard lime finding their niche, particularly when released on independent labels. But Chapin's ad­ mirable modesty only underscores his talent and feeling." Tickets are $3 for students and $5 for the public and may be purchased at Farthing Auditorium.

The Apps, who captured their third executive victory, improved to 11-8 overall and 4-3 in the Southern Confer­ ence- The Mountaineers shot 52 percent for ihegame, but were out rebounded 45-38 by the Keydets, who hauled in 20 offen­ sive rebounds. "I'm happy we won the game, but I'm nothappy with the way we played," ASU Head Coach Tom Apke said. "I was dis­ pleased with our rebounding effort. We bad stressed that in the last couple ofdays. Our rebounding effort was awful." The Mountaineers, who led 39-34 at halftime, used an 11-5 spurt during the [irst4:37 of the second half to build their biggest lead of the contest, 50-39, with 15:23 to go in the game. The Keydets got hot and, led by the shooting of Jonathan Penn, went on a 208surge over the next 6:13 to climb ahead of the Apps 59-58 with just over nine minutes to go. Penn scored eight of his team-high 17 points during the run, in­ cluding six from three-point range. Apke called time out to settle down his jittery squad after VMI took the lead. "I tried to emphasize (during the time out) that careless mistakes were our own worst enemy," Apke said. Powers, who scored nine points and grabbed eight of his nine rebounds in the second half, then made several key re­ bounds that led to short jumpers by Billy Ross and Steve Spurlock, which put the Apps up for good with a little over seven minutes to play. "We're much bigger than they are," Powers said."Coach (Apke)got onme at half time. I made sure that in the second half I went after every ball." "They (ASU) got strong when they had to," VMI Head Coach Joe Cantafio said. The teams exchanged baskets for sev­ eral minutes, but a three-point play by Powers and a Spurlock layup gave the Mountaineers a 74-67 advantage with 51 seconds to play. Freshman point guard Jeff Williams sank four of six free throws in the final 34 seconds to seal the 78-72 victory for ASU. The Apps, playing their second game in three days, got off to a quick start thanks to the shooting of Ed Ward. The 6'4" senior from Thomasville, N.C. scored eight points during a 12-4 Moun­ taineer run to start the game. Ward re­ ~ corded his game total of 14 points in the first half, nailing four of six from threepoint range. "Ed Ward has been shooting good from the outside, which opens up everything," Powers said. VMI refused to back down, however. The Keydets rolled off 12 of the game's next 15 points to seize a 16-15 lead. With the game knotted at 18-18, ASU went on a 10-0run behind two Ward threepointers and two Ricky Nedd inside bas­ kets to take a 28-18 lead at the 6:41 mark of the first half. VMI was able to slice the lead in half before the intermission. The Mountaineersplaced five in double figures in the contest. Nedd finished with 13 points on five of six shooting from the field; Broderick Parker added 11 points; and Spurlock chipped in 10 points, despite hitting just four of 15 field goal attempts. Spurlock, who entered the g ime averaging 22.7 for the Apps, was held to just one point in the first 27 minutes of action. Greg Fittz scored 16 points for the Keydets, while Percy Covington and Erck Perry added 11 points apiece. Perry also snagged 10 rebounds for VMI, which fell to 7-12 overall and 2-5 in the league. The Mountaineers return to action this Saturday, hosting nationally ranked East Tennessee State (see related article this page). Tip-off for the SC clash is slated for 2 p.m. in Varsity Gym.

The Yosef Club is sponsoring a spirit promotion to encourage more student participation at ASU home basketball games, according to Yosef Club Director Mark Dreibelbis. "The promotion is designed to generate fan enthusiasm and make certain that Varsity Gym offers a home court advan­ tage," Dreibelbis said. Dreibelbis said beginning with this Saturday's contest with East Tennessee State and continuing through the rest of the season, student organizations on campus can enter thecontest and beeligible to win the grand prize of $100. "The criteria forjudging includesspirit, creativity, black and gold attire and ban­ ners," Dreibelbis said. Anyone wishing to enter the contest should contact the Yosef Club office at 262-3108. Dreibelbis also said the student orga­ nizations need some way of identifying themselves at the games. "They should have T-shirts, signs or some way of identifying themselves to the judges," Dreibelbis said. Dreibelbis also said that students seats will be reserved for ASU students and their guest until 15 minutes prior to the tipoff of the contest. "We want to make sure that students get the seats and not ETSU fans," Dreibelbis said.

Appalachian State's men's basketball team will hosttwo nationally-ranked teams in the coming week, with the first confer­ ence foe. East Tennessee State, entering Varsity Gym Saturday. The Buccaneers, at 16-2 and 4-1 in the Southern Conference, are ranked 16th in the nation in the latest AP poll. The country's 17th ranked team, the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles, comes to town Monday night. For the 118 Mountaineers, who have been up and down all season long, the challenge is immense. "This is Top 20 weekend," ASU Head Coach Tom Apke said Tuesday. "We knew when we set the schedule up it had the possibility. Certainly, it is the first time in ASU history that two nationallyranked teams have come to Boone in the same season. It is an exciting, stimulating environment for us." EastTennessee State defeated ASU 8970 in Johnson City on Jan. 5. The game was close until the end of the second half when the Bucs went on a 15-0 run. The Mountaineers played ETSU even from there, but could never mount a serious challenge. Consistency, according to Apke, and keeping ETSU from making big runs like the one in the first game, will be the keys to Saturday's contest. Apke explained, "At times, we've been a really good basketball team. Our biggest problem has been consistency, not only from game to game, but also from minute to minute during games. We've been a team of great spurts. We've had several great spurts, but we haven't been able to maintain them. "Against ETSU, if we play more con­ sistent and methodical on offense, we'll do fine." Senior Mountaineer guard Ed Ward, who leads the team in assists and is the top ASU three-point shooter, also pointed to the offensive end as extremely important for the Mountaineers. "We have to be patient," Ward said. "We have to do what we're supposed to and take our time on offense. We can't get frustrated, even when they (ETSU) think they're stopping us. Weneed to setpicks and when they are overplaying go backdoor. Having pa­ tience will be the most important thing." Defensively, Appalachian will be faced with the task of stopping a team which boasts four double-figure scorers and per­ haps the league's best all-around player in Buccaneer senior point guard Keith Jennings. Jennings leads the SC in six statistical categories and is averaging over three thefts per game, and he is first in assists with nine per game. Jennings is shooting 58.9 percent from the field,*86° percent from the free-tJhrow line and 67 percent from the three-point range. His three-point shooting is not only leading the SC, it is top mark in the nation. "The matchups are certainly intriguing, but the whole key to playing ETSU is containing Jennings," Apke cautioned. "He really can hurt you and he's a big outside threat. We can't relax and give him chances to penetrate our defense and create easy baskets. We have to try and contain him, and not give him any easy chances to penetrate and break down our defense." "You can't really stop him, you just have to contain him," Ward said of Jennings. "When I'm on him, I'll try to not let him get around me, stay in front of him and not let him penetrate where he can get our big men in foul trouble." ^hian Staff Reports JjJ* ^ c'ub ski team is off to a season, taking a team "i«o 1Slan 1 m each of its first two matches. ^sl Fridav ,u.

The competition is divided into four weight classes; and as of Wednesday morning, 19 people had signed up. "Only one woman has signed up so far," Recreational Supervisor Tim Jennings said. "She won't have a partner (to compete against). I've been trying to involve more females." The tournament is divided into right and left arm competitions. T-Shlrts Given for Fitness Clinics The Quinn Center is giving away free T-shirts. The only catch is the recipient must attend a fitness clinic and meet a fimess goal. "A fitness clinic is a small group (maxi­ mum of five) that . . . discusses a basic fitness regimen and makes short and long term fitness goals,"Quinn Center Facility Coordinator Sherry Crane said. Fitness clinic topics include: Nautilus equipment, computerized equipment, weight training with dumbbells, and body composition and blood pressure analysis. All clinics are held at the Quinn Center. In order to receive a free T-shirt, a student must first attend a clinic and meet one of three fitness goals. These goals are running or walking 75 miles, completing 30 weight-training sessions, or cycling 150 miles. For more information on these clinics call 262-3035.

He is not just saying this to win approval for more educational finding for America s schools. He has proof, and it isn't pretty. A survey was taken of 11th gTade students in American high schools. The results were less than flattering. Less than half of the students could identify the half-century during which the Civil War was fought. Less than half could locate the Persian Gulf on a world map. The study also concluded that"80 percent of the 11 th gradestudents could not write a persuasive letter" and "only about one in 20 can read well enough to leam from literary essays and historical documents." These statistics come in the light of several improve­ ments in the educational system. A 1989 national study shows teacher salaries are up to a S28.000 national average. The teacher to student ratio has been lowered from 18.9 to 17.6. In 1983, the United States was 20 --Bertrand Russell Johnny finds English boring. "It's not fun," he says. Johnny doesn't bring books home from the library any­ more unless they are required for his "stupid research paper." Johnny's English teachers throughout high school believe literature is the most important subject to cover and leave composition and grammar to "some other teacher down the road." Johnny graduates, but he cannot read or write well enough to get a job. Why can't Johnny read? No parental involvement, boring and purposeless English classes and a school system that assumes it has done its job. Hopefully this scenario has shown how many students slip through high school and even college with shock­ ingly low writing and reading skills. Some poorer students have even lower English scores than usual because of unqualified teachers. Unqualified teachers hurt the American social picture because the children in poverty who receive a third rate education will find the educational gap with their richer peers widening. Jobs will be harder to find. Joe B. Wyatt, the chancellor of Vanderbilt University, said, "Many corporations have already established their own literacy schools after hiring high school graduates who could not read safety instructions or understand operating handbooks forproduction equipment." A local business manager told me he received a resume and a letter from a college graduate who wanted a job. He said her grammar was a mess and the letter was full of typographical errors. How can students—that's us—make it through 16 years of school and still not be able to use English proficiently? The government and many school admin­ istrations have only been treating the graduation problem and not the education problem. Last year, roughly one quarter of all students failed to graduate from high school. The national average for attrition in all American colleges approaches 50 percent. The administrations on all levels do their best to keep students in school, but should that be the goal? Should a high school only seek to graduate as many students as it can? Definitely not. High schoolsand universities should bein theeducation business, not the diploma business. As more money Paint does nothing To the Editor: Jan. 22 marks the second week of conflict in the Gulf region between the United Nations coalition against Iraq and the nation of Iraq. Realizing that CNN has provided 24-hour coverage since the Jain. 15 deadline, I see no need to highlight the events of the conflict in this statement. Earlier this week, however, I did envision a CNN broadcast of my own while walking from the new College of Business building to Walker Hall. As I strolled along the sidewalk, I looked up and noticed a peace symbol painted on one of the windows of the new building. I immediately began daydreaming "This is Bernard Shaw from some hotel in the middle of Baghdad, bombs going off all around me. I haven't the sense to know that I'm an American in a country being bombed by my oWri people. Not only do I stand a chance of being bombed, but I'm really popular with the locals, too. Right now, while I'm hiding under a table, someone is knocking on the door. I imagine the locals are going to invite me to an over18 club for a beer. "Now I'm looking through the window. Wow! Look at that blast! My gosh! It feels as if they hit the hotel. Hey, guess what?" The connection goes dead for a few seconds, and people all over America are worried for Bemie. But wait. Don't fear. The anchorperson in Atlanta comes back on to say they have re­ established the connection! Bernie's back. "This is Bernard Shaw live in Baghdad again. Sorry about the connection problems folks. I guess our guys finally figured out that if we tell Hussein that we are not going to bomb civilians or religious shrines, odds are that's where he put those infamous SCUD missiles. And just imagine, we think the SCUDS are in the middle of some desert. Gosh, I hope those guys at the Pentagon pick up on that." Again, the line goes dead. Americans worry once more. But never fear. The CNN anchorperson breaks in again with a new story... "This just in. At ASU in Boone, N.C., individuals have just finished pan,ting a peace symbol on the new College of Business building. Upon hearing this, Hussein has started a complete and total withdrawal from Iraq, the Soviet Union has stopped all attempts to keep Latvia as a member of the USSR and Israel has just decided to recognize Palestine as a country. Anywhere they want in Israel." Now, lets take a break from 'Trey's world." I completely understand an individual's right to say and do what he/she wants. That's guaranteed in the Constitution. I consider the peace sign a great message, just in the wrong place. Don't we have tunnels that are continually being painted to express opinions? Or, should we use the rest of the campus as our pallet? What about skywriting? Or fireworks? Okay, enough sarcasm. I'll get to the point. No one, not CNN, Saddam Hussein, the Pentagon or students who paint on buildings are using plain ole common sense. Think. Use your head. Make rational, informed decisions based on correct information. After all, the most dangerous weapon in the world is the mind.

In 1989, the average was almost S4.000 per pupil. With these improvements in salaries, class sizes and government funding, one would assume the problems in our school systems were over. Unfortunately, this is not the case. How can American students, which includes everyone of us, attend 12 or more years of school and still not have the basic skills needed to survive in our rapidly changing world? Something has gone wrong with the education system, especially in the areas of writing and reading. The average American child learns mostof his English usage from the television and his parents, if they talk to him. The television replaces the book. The parents of the child, Johnny, think the school system will teach their son how to read and wnte. At the age of six, Johnny is sent off for his education. The school system usually does a fine job throughout the early grades. Johnny is taught the basics of each discipline. He brings books home, but the TV is more stimulating and the books go unread. Johnny's parents accept his "C" in English as simply a "difficult teacher" problem. High school arrives. THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON indicates an inferior understanding of the democratic system, and is omi­ nously reminiscent of less tolerant ideologies that have marred the 20th century. Furthermore, Stewart and Herold assert that the spraypainted peace symbol "will not make any difference." We disagree. Although we concur with them in their belief that defacing public property is abhorrent, we commend those artists for peace in their commit­ ment to present and future harmony. We affirm that violence now breeds violence in later generations, and therefore support neither the troops nor the military ethic. We question sensationalism in the media and blind patriotism. We are offended that Stewart and Herold support the war in the name of Christ, a man who stood only for love. Given their argument that "narrow-minded rationale has gotten us involved in a war in the Middle East," we seriously doubt that they have any knowledge of the similar histories of Israel/Palestine and Kuwait. As for the analogous relation­ ship they draw between the painting of the peace symbol and Hussein's invasion of Kuwait—we think that this analogy is hyperbolic and ludicrous. No, we do not like this war. However, we do believe that one should be equipped with historical data and solid logic before attempting to defend the war effort and to charge others to do likewise.

We question primarily their authority in demanding a singular responsibility for all American citizens. Diversity of opinion is inherent in the human condition, and the founding mothers and fathers of this country worked to guarantee individual and collective freedom of expression. The individual citizen voices personal opinions, and the president serves as the primary spokesperson for the aggregate opinions of the people. However, George Bush's statements are not representations of a homogeneous American political ethic, thus one should not advocate unconditional espousal of his decisions. Americans are a motley group, and to differ is one's patriotic duty. Diversity and the defense of diversity compose the strength of a democracy. To think otherwise Kuwait needs justice To the editor: Recently, when confronted with the prospect of war, I cringed and prayed that a peaceful resolution would be made. I was hoping the United States would not be involved in a war. But a friend of mine brought out a very important aspect that did not enter my mind: "Where there is peace there must be justice." Saddam Hussein gassed his own people and allowed his troops to rape the women in Kuwait. I would not consider these actions very just. If this happened to the people in the United States they would be screaming for help from other countries. Many people argue that we have our own problems in this country to worry about. Does that mean we should turn our backs on others? Do two wrongs make a right? I don't think so. I think everyone wants peace, but what is the quality of that peace if the people have to live in an unjust society because we are too selfish to rock the boat? Andrea M.

Students need to be motivated to read at an early age. Parents need to take the time to read to their kids. Someone must open the door of reading to these impressionable minds. Teachers must also motivate the students. Simply reading aloud to students has turned English scores around in the Bos­ ton, Mass. school system. • Resumes and Cover Letters .

The universities should also require frequent testing of all students. Is it too much of a hassle to prepare a student for his place in the world? Too many univer­ sities are sending their graduates out into the job market handicapped. Alma mater means other mother." The administra­ tion needs to realize their responsibility to students. Teachers are also responsible for giving us the tools we need for suc­ cess. Wyatt holds that "the teacher is the most important single factor in the quality of our schools." As students, however, we have the final responsibility. We should candidly evaluate our writing ability. It's too late when you've been turned down for sev­ eral jobs because of poor writing skills. Read often. Don't watch Dan Rather in order to get the daily news. Read a newspaper. Get a book you enjoy and read it. Write a paper for an English teacher and ask him or her to evaluate it. Take advantage of the professors at our disposal. The nation is in big trouble if we fail to prepare ourselves. America must come outof the deception thatgraduation equals education. The ground the school systems have lost in terms of English competence must be won back one student at a time. The best place to start is with ourselves. PARTY HOUSES -NORTH MYRTLE BEACH.

SGA Vice President Daryl Ghent stated, "I was real pleased with the turnout for the vigil. Considering the weather, we had a lot of people from the community as well as students." According to Ghent, the purpose of the vigil was to increase student awareness about the situation in the Middle East. The sponsors of the vigil stressed the purpose of the gathering was to show support of the troops. Ghent stated, "We are not supporting the action, instead we are supporting our troops." AfptUchUn Photo by Randall Reinink JMLF,LIGHT VIGIL: At the candlelight vigil held Jan, 24, students as well as members of the Boone community joined tlkrin support of the U.S. troops stationed in the Middle East. The vigil included speakers who emphasized that the soldiers Isupport. The event, which was sponsored by WASU and SG A, had a remarkable turnout considering the cold weather. While tare similar demonstrations going on at other college campuses, this was the first planned event at ASU. According to Ghent, the SGA has plans to send recordings of the vigil to ASU students who are serving in the Middle East. Ghent commented, "We want thestudents there (in the Middle East) to know that the people here are behind them 100percent." The vigil consisted of several speakers who offered support to those who have a relative or friend that has been deployed and who stressed the troops need support. One ASU student shared his own story of how he has been coping since his father left for Saudia Arabia this summer. Scott Buettner,an ASU junior broadcasting major, said,"This Christmas passed without my dad, like the Christmas before when he was in Panama." However, Buettner stated that he supports his dad and the other men who are in the Middle East. Buettner stated,"I fear foT his life just asI do for theothers over there...but he's doing his job because he is an American and he loves his country." He continued, "The troops are united and strong for us, we need to be united and strong for them." Buettner said when his father wasfirst deployed hefelt a sense of loss because of the summer plans that would not be fulfilled, but now his attitude has now changed. Buettner commented, "Now I don't wish that he was at home with me. I wish that I was there with him." Buettner said that since the vigil, he has received a lot of positive feedback. He stated, "Most of the people have been thanking me for sharing it (my story) with them." Buettner said even those people who may not support the government's actionsshould support thetroops. He commented, "We have 500,000 Americans over there puning their lives on the line. We have to support them. It's too late to back out now." Dr. Donald Sanz, a Vietnam veteran and the director of the ASU counseling center, informed the participants at the vigil of the DesertStorm supportgroup which meets each Tuesday from 5-6:30 p.m. Sanz stated, "The group gives people concerned with what is happening over in the Middle East an opportunity to discuss their concerns." Sanz also noted thatstudents could consult with thecounseling center for individual appointments. Willie Fleming, ASU coordinatpr of multicultural affairs who has three cousins in the Middle East, led the vigil attendants in a prayer and talked of how much the troops would appreciate support. Fleming said that the vigil gave people"a way to deal with the hurt and the pain." The vigil was concluded in song. ASU senators Kristen Kostelnik and Shelby Johnson led the group in two songs. Kostelnik sang"Amazing Grace" while Johnson sang "Lean On Me."

The march was said to "to as demonstrators beat drums and carried other music makers, oversize pa­ per mache puppets and balloons. In many smaller communities people also marched tosupport the troops. About 3,000 turned out for apro-troop march in Winston-Salem sponsored by the Triad Vietnam Veterans Association. "The only thing worse than waging war is to wage war ineffectively," said Martha Wood, Winston-Salem's mayor. "We don't want there to be any doubt in their minds about our support." Most peace marches center around support for the troops. According to Wil­ liam Chafe, chairman of the history de­ partment at Duke University,many people see the war as stupid, but they're not against the troops. Todd Gitlin, professor of soci­ ology at the University of California at Berkeley, said, "It's not hate-America time." During Vietnamsome protestors wanted to see the Communists take control. This time there is no support for the opposite side. Gitlin said, "No one is going to carry the Iraqi flag." At North Carolina State University, several demonstrations have taken place since the war began. According to Jeff Mann, vicechancellor of business affairs, "Literally, a vigil or brickyard gathering has happened almost everyday." Mann said the vigils sometimes de­ velop into shouting matches between sup­ porters of the troops and people who op­ pose the war, but "there have been no confrontations or anything ugly." A "Newsweek" magazine poll taken after the First wave of attacks showed nearly a5-to-lmarginof support for mili­ tary action.In a"Time" magazine—CNN poll of 1,000 people, 32 percent favored initiating a ground war. Meanwhile, allied bombers continue to attack Iraq with aircraft assaults. Al­ lied planners are also trying to halt the "black tide"; a massive oil spill drifting towards Saudi water plants. The Iraqis opened oil valves at the main Kuwaiti supertanker loading sta­ tion, 10 miles offshore from the Ahmadi refinery complex, and also fed the spill from five loaded tanker ships. The spill's volume was not precisely calculated, but the U.S. military said the tankers held about 125 million gallons, and specialists said the terminal can pump more than four million gallons a day. OnSaturday, PresidentBushordered an interagency team of advisors to travel to the gulf "to assist the Saudis in theirefforts to contain the oil slick,"said White House spokesman Sean Walsh. Environmentalists said the oil surely will kill thousands of birds and marine animals, contaminate drinking water and threaten the region's lucrative commercial shrimping industry. Someof theregion's coastal grassesand coral reefs also are likely to be severely damaged, possibly destroyed.

Zimmerman said that the Iraqi conflict was a contributing, but not the only factor that has encumbered the state's budget. The administrative reaction has been that it is necessary to work with the state to try to solve the financial problems, noted Zimmerman. It appears that the Academic Support Building will be hit hardest by thedelay in funding. The support building was to be funded totally by state contributions. However, continued planning and site de­ velopment will still continue for the building. Zimmerman stated that the SAC was to be funded through private contributions, student activity fees and state revenue. He said that all three of these avenues would be pursued. On the SAC project, the university is allowed to continue working on the de­ sign of the building and doing the site preparation.

ASU physician witnesses a revolution in Haiti By CANDA SMITH Appalachian Staff Writer Dr. Patricia Geiger, one of the ASU infirmary's physicians, witnessedhistory being made last month during a coup attempt in Haiti. A few weeks ago, most Americans were watching the news and waiting anxiouslyfor the Jan. 15 deadline, oblivious to the turmoil in Haiti. During this past Christmas break. Dr. Geiger had the opportunity through the Worid Medical Mission program of Boone to work in her prac­ ticed field of pediatrics in Haiti for three and a half weeks. Her intended stay was prolonged a week by tlie coup attempt against the newly elected president, Jean Bertrand Aristide. Geiger said, "The people finally had hope that this leader would not take advantage of them." This was the first free election the Haitians have had in about 50 years. The Duvalier regime had been in power over this poor and underdeveloped country for much toolong. When Roger Lafontant of the Duvalier regime realized the threat of Reverand Aristide, he immediately tried to take over the government "Before the coup attempt" remembers Geiger, "there were spontaneous celebrations because of the new hope that Aristide had brought. After the coup attempt the hope turned to anger and frustra­ tion, and it was good to see the people rising up against the Duvalier regime." While Geiger waited for three days to return to ASU, sheheard occasional gunfire and saw smoke cover the entire city. Ultimately, the Haitians took arms against Lafontant's secret police, Tontons Macoute, and killed about a hundred Lafontant officials and supporters. Although Geiger had a front row seat to an historical occurrence in Haiti, more importantly this was an opportunity to work with a different culture. "I teamed about different diseases, and I even­ tually learned the language, Creole, which is de­ rived from French," she said. Some of the common diseases among the children are AIDS, tuberculo­ sis, and diarrhea which usually is fatal due tomalnutrition. Now that she has experienced this culture, Gei-, ger wants to return to Haiti. "Now that I know how > to speak some Creole, I'll have an easier time treating the patients. Before I go next time, I'd like j to read up on the diseases and medical history of the country." Although she doubtlessly helped many people, Geiger feels that their kindness and their unique culture gave her much more than she could ever have hoped to give back. Student club supports Helms By KATRINA WITTKAMP Appalachian Staff Writer Students for America is a new club here at ASU that is based on conservative values and ideals.The club originated in North Carolina for support of Jesse Helms and has spread in colleges throughout the United States. It is a non-partisan, conservative. Christian or­ ganization that believes in strong national defense, pro-life and areturn to firm family values."America has gotten away from the moral values it once had. Our organization believes that abortion is wrong. We also feel very strongly for free enterprise, a limited government and states' rights," said Vice Chairman Jeff Cox. Students for America was organized here at Appalachian this year to bring politicians, minis­ ters and other speakers to the college to express their views. A field representative from the club's headquarters, located in Raleigh, came to ASU during elections to organize the club and recruit members. Since then, there has been one meeting with an attendanceof 12people. 'The members are , students who are conservative because they are Christian.

It is easily explained. An infirmary is for students who have physical ailments which need to be treated. The Wellness Center is for students who need help in dealing with stress, watching their weight, or stopping smoking or have concerns dealing with wellness in general. Intern Cathy Raynor, a graduate student in stu­ dent development, said, "The Wellness Center is a real good place as a resource for class projects or assignments. If they (students) have any concerns on any health issue, they can come here for bro­ chures orarticles." Raynor described the key to the Wellness Center philosophy as prevention. The Wellness Center is available to students through organizational presentations, individual consultations and regular support group meetings. It is located next to Health Services on the second floor of the Student Support Building. The Student Wellness Advisory Team (SWAT) offers hour-long, group-oriented presentations on nutrition, exercise, safe sex, relationships, hugs, eating disorders, emotions and spirituality. Spe­ cially trained students present these programs to interested organizations, classes or residence halls. Raynor coordinates SWAT. Raynor describes the experience of being a SWAT member as a good way to learn presentation and oral skills. There are 12 SWAT members working atthe Wellness Center. There is flexibility in the counseling the students are allowed to do. Students can leam more about dealing with high levels of stress in a new service, the Stress Clinic. Determining the level of stress each student has through various questionnaires helps explain how to manage stress to keep it at a comfortable level. Students leam to control their bodys' reactions to stressful situations tltrough progressive muscle relaxation, visual imagery, and biofeedback. The Stress Clinic is open from 1-5: p.m. on Mondays and 2-5 pjn. on Thursdays or by appointment. The Stress Management group meetings are on Mondays and Thursdays at 4 pjn. The program is a four-part series. Students are invited to attend as many of the meetings as they wish. According toWellness Center Coordinator Kit Olson, the Counseling Center will also be spon­ soring a support group for those coping with friends, relatives and loved ones involved in the war situ­ ation. Another new program is the "Can't Weight" group meetings. Two groups will be offered. The first is a nutrition and diet education group which will meet twice a week for four weeks, beginning Feb. 4. The meetings are scheduled for Mondays at 2 p.m. and Wednesdays at 3 p.m. The meetings last an hour. The class teaches how to eat properly, begin a proper exercise program and change eating behaviors. The other "Can't Weight" group is a support group for those who have difficulty in managing their weight. The group meets Thursdays at 3 p.m. beginning Jan. 31. The "Fresh Start" program, from the American; Cancer Society is designed to help people stop smoking. Meetings will begin on March 11 and continue through March 20. Meetings will be Mondays and Wednesdays at 3 p.m. Students for America is currently involved in various community projects here in Boone. They bought a Christmas gift as part of the angel tree for the Boone Crisis and Pregnancy Center and are putting together a care package for soldiers in the Middle East. They are going to be part of a Walk for Life here in Boone which is scheduled to take place in April. The meetings of Students for America are going to involvehaving speakers and also watching videos such as "The Silent Scream," a pro-life video showing the aboTtion of a fetus. "We like to stress education on issues facing our country. It's im­ portant for students to take a stand on issues ac cording to their convictions," said Secretary Keely Lee. A national convention for Students for America is scheduled to take place sometime this semester in Washington, D.C. The convention will have political speakers discussing grassroots technol­ ogy and similar conservative subjects. It will fea­ ture such politicians as Dan Quayle, Jack Kemp, Jesse Helms, Judge Bork and other conservative leaders. "America must return to the Judeo Christian values which she was founded upon to regain her moral strength as the leader of the free world," said Lee.

The Herd was whistled for 18 team fouls while ASU recorded 13, only three of which came in the first half. "You can't get a college team to go 17 minutes and get only one team foul," Freeman said.

Ike team opened with a stellar iformance at Virginia Tech before iveling to Johnson City, Tetm. last ttkend for the US Air Invitational. Other winners for ASU were Melissa Morrison in the 55-meter hurdles, Nicole Welford in the 300-meter dash, Melissa Rogers in the 500-meter dash, Jennifer Bowers in the 1000-meter run, Heidi Barger in the 3000-meter run, Sabrina Hill in the high jump and triple jump, Michelle Rhynein the shot-put and Rogers, Bowers, Carrie Robinson and Monica Teeter in the mile relay. In addition to winning the 1000-meter run and being a part of the winning mile relay team, Rogers also claimed second place in the high jump. Welford picked up a third place finish in the 55-meter dash and a second place finish in the triple jump to go along with her victory in the 300-meter dash. Teeter was another standout for ASU, coming in second in the 500-meter dash and second in the 55-meter hurdles. Suffer competition awaited ASU last weekend at the USAir Invitational. While several App runners set personal bests, ASU did not place anyone in the finals. Two school records were set at the meet. The mile relay team of Lynette Gardin, Robinson, Teeter and Rogers set a school record with a time of 3:58.1, beating the previous record of 3:58.9. Bowers, Laura Girouard, Traci Mclntyre and Barger teamed to set a new school record in the two-mile relay as well running a time of 9:39.9. . i t"We had several girls that improved on their times," ASU Head Coach John Weaver said. "I was pleased with their effort I was hoping that someone would get to the finals, but I was real happy that so many girls improved on their times." Weaver thinks this team should contend for the Southern Conference title. "We're looking pretty good right now," Weaver said. "We've got a lot of depth and everyone's doing real well. We've got a couple of nagging injuries, but other than that we're looking great." Appalachian S tate' s men's indoor track team has opened the year with three impressive outings. The Mountaineers opened the season Jan. 12 at Virginia Tech where several App athletes gave strong performances. ASU won five different events, including junior Brad Dodson's win in the 3000-meter run. Freshman Billy Pemberton came in second in the race to give the Mountaineers a one-two sweep. Dodson further aided the Appalachian cause with a third place finish in the 1500meter run. Other Mountaineer winners weresenior Allen Brooks in the 600-meter run, freshman Alex Herring in the 500-meter run, senior Frank Allen in the 55-meter dash, and sophomore Kevin Morris in the shot-put competition. Junior Eric Joe came in second in the 55-meter dash and junior Jon Fullen gave a strong performance in both the high jump and triple jump. ASU returned to Blacksburg, Va. on Jan. 19 for the Marriott Invitational Regional Track Competition. The Mountaineers again were impressive as they competed with teams from five area states and won two events. Brooks won the 800-meter run as he continued his domination in middle distance competition for the second week in a row. Fullen almost broke his own school record in the high jump as he won the event with a leap of 6'11.5". Dodson claimed third place in the 3000-meter run, and ASU's 4x400-meter relay team (Brooks, Allen, Joe and Lawerence Lloyd) gave an impressive performance, taking fourth place among more than 20 teams. ASU Head Coach A1 Fereshetian has been very impressed with the performance of ASU in these early-season meets, especially with the leadership the veterans have shown. "I'm real pleased with what the mile relay team is doing," Fereshetian said. "We've demonstrated the ability to improve but also to run consistently.

By JOHN THOMPSON, Jr. Appalachian Staff Writer Despite knotting the game with 17 seconds remaining, the Lady Apps fell 58-56 to Southern Conference foe Marshall Saturday at Huntington, W.Va. Marshall led the entire first half but could never really open up a big lead. Running a potent motion offense, the usually high-scoring Herd was up against a good team defense by the Lady Apps. ASU stayed close, keeping within three, 30-27, at the intermission. Mountaineers hit only 10 for 17 (58 percent) from the charity stripe. face VirginiaCommonwealthon Monday, Feb. 4. The loss gives ASU a record of 8-9. The Lady Apps go on the road again Wednesday against UNC-Charlotte. Then, ASU comes back home to Varsity Gym to Injured ASU forward Shannon Thomas is expected to return to practice this week. According to Robinson, Thomas should be ready to play some minutes by the VCU game next week. The second half started out much like the first, with the Thundering Herd maintaining control of the game. They continued to hold the lead, stretching it to 11 with 8:33 remaining in the game. Then, the Lady Mountaineers started chipping away at the lead with some good shooting (50 percent for the game). With 17 seconds left, ASU freshman Penny Roberson nailed a 15-footer to tie the game. This gave the Apps a chance to put the game intoovertime, but Marshall's Wendy Gatlin hit two free throws with two seconds left to thwart the comeback and hold on for the 58-56 win. Individually, ASU was led by Roberson with 19points. Reginalkard added 12and Mitzi Young chipped in 10. Neoma Konrad dominated the boards with 17 rebounds, and point guard Karen Gruca ran the offense well, dishing out nine assists without a turnover. Marshall's balanced attack saw five players score in double figures. Lady Mountaineers Head Coach Linda Robinson said Marshall was "a good ball club" and the struggling Lady Apps were improving. "We played good team ball and excellent defense. I think we did a good job holding them to 58 points," she said. One aspect possibly affecting the outcome of the game was free throws. Prior to the game, the Lady Apps were 13th in the nation in free-throw shooting percentage, at well over 70 percent.

In general, it's been real interesting this year in that we've got a great mix between veterans and newcomers. We haven t had any problems this year with kids not warming up enough and then getting hurt. The vets have really helped the younger kids in that area." It is precisely that mix of experience and talent that has the Mountaineers' sights set on a Southern Conference championship.

"The areas we're weak in we've done a better job than I expected, and we've got a very strong team overall." That overall strength was essential last weekend when ASU went to Johnson City, fenn for tllf* USAir Invitational, one ofi .. Tenn. for the TT^Al* Tnifll4ti/«nnl the biggest indoor meets in the nation. The highlights for ASU came when Dodson broke the school record in the 5000-meter run with a time of 14:37, and when the Mountaineer mile relay team advanced to the final round. In addition, Brooks recorded the second fastest time in ASU history in the 800-meter run, and Lloyd moved into the number five alltime spot in the 200-meter hurdles. "We're planning on winning the thing (Southern Conference championship)," Fereshetian said. "I know that there's probably some other teams in the conference that are thinking thesame thing, but we really feel like we have a great chance of winning iL" The ASU men's team returns to Blacksburg for the third time this season on Saturday, Feb. 9 when they participate in the Virginia Tech All-Comers Meet.

Try maintain a healthy balance. t Iffort needs your help By JOSEPH RAYLE Appalachian Staff Writer "Conscious of the end and divided in our ranks— Battles fought in the Middle East, the war machine still cranks Soldiers wearing space suits—the bomb replacing tanks The latest sick fixation: blind retaliation" It has been many years since my friend Pete Boyer wrote those words, but it is sad to say they are just as true today as they were then. Maybe I am a little idealistic, but I was hoping we were on our way to a New World Order with the collapse of the Cold War fear which has served as the justification for all of the bizarre foreign policy, arms build-up and our strange system of government for the past 40 years. Closer to home, I was hoping that we could take some of the bread we've been squandering on wars never fought and work on addressing our domestic crises: declining literacy rates, increasing homelessness, wide­ spread abuse of narcotics and unchecked population growth. Instead, it had been more of the same crisis mentality that had characterized our government for as long as I have paid attention to it. Just as we seemed to be moving toward shaking things up, Hussein invaded Kuwait, butchering thepopulace and disassembling its infrastruc­ ture. True, these are terribleevents, but senseless violence has been a staple of Middle East culture since long before they nailed that guy to a board for asking them to mellow out a little a couple thousand years ago. Military efforts in the Middle East are like throwing concrete blocks to a drowning man: they have a big effect, but not the one you were probably looking for.The last thing this crisis needs is more violence and mayhem. Does anybody remember what happened in Beirut? This is only going to be bigger. Uncle George set the showdown date: Jan. 15. This is complete John Wayne stuff. The Kuwaiti monarchy is hanging around in luxury motels wringing its hands while our fellow citizens are preparing to lay down their lives for one of the most oppressive regimes in the world against one of the most oppressive regimes in the world. Some choice! This is not to call into question the loyalty, bravery or good intentions of those in our armed forces. They are doing what they are supposed todo, and I hope that as this ugliness unfolds people returning from the Middle East will not be victimized the way soldiers returning from Vietnam were. These people take a vow to do whatever they're told to, regardless of how boneheaded the people giving the orders are.They will have alot to teach us, and, like the veterans who protested the Vietnam war, will be in the best position to speak out But back to this dramatic showdown. Economic sanc­ tions are not working, we're being told. Never mind that sanctions usually take quite a while to do much damage-. Look at Nicaragua and South Africa. There is another problem with our approach to sanc­ tions that I'm surprised has not received more attention than it has. It was during the dry season when we began our sanctions against Iraq. Their main supply of water comes from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, both of which flow south from Turkey. As it happens, Turkey has dams built on both of these rivers. Why don't we have a defensive force deployed in Turkey, and why don't we shut off Iraqi water? The Iraqis did it to our embassy, so why didn't we do it to their country? It would have been considerably less costly than a war. In the first place, I don't think the Bush administration was ever really serious about economic sanctions. It all appears to be careful posturing to justify a war. From Bush's political perspective, a quick war would do won­ ders for his popularity, and cranking up the industrial? military complex would probably provide a bit of shortterm growth for the economy. It's the Maggie Thatcher trip: Faced with drooping popularity and a sagging economy? Go straighten up a few of the natives (in the Falklands), who are getting out of line. However, hunkering down inTurkey behind a coupleof water locks is hardly swashbuckling and won't make for great press shots like those of George and Barbara eating Thanks­ giving dinner with the troops. Bush is playing with far longer odds than Thatcher ever did. It was clear, for the most part, who was on what side in the Falklands war. Bush's fragile alliance could easily turn on him if Israel is involved in the conflict, which they undoubtedly will be if Hussein succeeds in provoking the most hated country in the region. Not only does this alliance have the potential for disaster, but the Iraqi army has some pretty gruesome chemical and biological warfare agents that could poten­ tially kill thousands of troops in a single attack. Chemical and biological warfare in the region could cause perma­ nent harm to what remains of the ecosystems of the Middle East, Africa and Europe. This conflict, simply put, has all of the makings of a disaster. Yes, we currently have an interest in the energy supply represented by the oil reserves in the Middle East, but in the long run, we'd be a lot better off developing some alternatives of our own. Secretary of State James Baker keeps spewing gibberish about the Kuwaiti Royal Family being the legitimate government.Since when did anything not elected by those being governed (in appear­ ance, at least) become legitimate government? Why are we fighting for people who forbid the practice of religions other than their own and require that the women in our armed forces keep completely covered in the 120 degree heat and not drive? Military muscle is not a function of patriotism. Work­ ing for a stronger America does not involve bombing third world countries back to the stone age whenever they get out of line. We must strive to use our resources in a fashion that is sustainable and fair. We are throwing away the future with every bomb we drop. Editor's note: Rayle iscurrently a graduate student in the psychology department. Are minority scholarships above the law? ' vtf He nation was stunned when we learned Saddam Hussein dumped Ions of gallons of oil into the Persian Gulf. President George Bush is ingthis act "environmental terrorism." let, we as Americans must remember we do not help the environment as tchaswe should. Although we certainly do not go to the extremes Saddam issein has gone, recycling and other means of cleaning up our world could improved. Hie university community should make a conscious effort to recycle. The toy has done an excellent job in providing recycling programs. It has W recycling bins outside of the residence halls and has encouraged faors and staff members to recycle by placing recepticles in their offices Ibuildings. In the months that follow we should all try to use them. wdertocounterbalance the recklessness of Saddam Hussein, we must all wto save our environment. We cannot control what world leaders cruelly Honour world, but we can do our part, starting in our own back yard. lk i e v al j v r a an u d o e le a g i . -Yogi Berra doesn't discover new lands without Renting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time, -Andre Gide By THOMAS A. PERRY Appalachian Staff Writer The recent Department of Education ruling whichsent the so- called civil rights leadership into a frenzy should have become one of the cornerstones of U.S. education policy. Thedepartment'sruling only reaffirmed what the language of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 so clearly states: Discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin is against the law. Why then would so-called minority leaders come out so strongly against the application of a law which many of them (are you listening Ben Hooks?) helped to enact? The Department of Education via As­ sistant Secretary Michael L. Williams recently declared the practiceof awarding race-based scholarships was againstpublic policy. Many legal scholars, including Derrick Bell of the Harvard Law School, have declared the Department of Education's ruling easily could have withstood judicial scrutiny. Similarly, there has been no outcry from the legal community attacking the legality of Williams' policy statement. It seems the legal community understands the concept of applying the various la ws of our country equally to all people, not just to specific groups. I would call the application of the Civil Rights Actof 1964 to all Americans as being a type of intellectual honesty. What defines intellectual honesty? It means that one group should not ask for the protection of its rights under a law unless it is willing to submit itself to the possible detriments that may occur within an equal application of that same law. Does it not seem unusual then that civil rights leaders such as Benjamin Hooks of the NAACP cry foul when one of the arguably more important laws of our country is simply applied to blacks in the same fashion it would apply to whites? It seems that Dr. Hooks is leading mi­ nority students down a yellow brick road of resentment and perhaps increased racial hostility on the nation's college campuses. This resentment undoubtedly willresult as aby-productof the president's decision not to follow Mr. Williams' findings. This resentment and animosity may manifest itself in the form of racial hostilities at college campuses where race relations were somewhat amicable. However, if Hooks truly believed in improving the racial climate in the United States, he could have spoken a thousand words simply by uttering nine, "I support the ruling of the Department of Education." Yes, uttering these nine words may have altered thecollegeplansofhundreds if not thousands of black and other minority college students, but it also would have sent a message. The message sent to millions of Americans would have read "blacks and other minorities can be intel­ lectually honest even when it hurts." Hooks, however, chose not to send this message. President Bush also failed to seize this opportunity to stand up for fairness. The result of the president's lack of leadership means for the next four years minority students willbe able to receive scholarship monies for which the non-minority population on most college campuses will not have a chance to compete. If I were a non-minority college student, I would be madly upset at the fact that I did not have the opportunity to compete for the same scholarship that was awarded to aminority solely based upon race. Do you want to get a clearer picture of what non-minority students may be feeling? Put yourself in the shoes of the non-minority college student. Your fam­ ily has realized it cannot afford tocontinue financing your education. Imagine walking into the financial aid office at the university you now attend. Upon inquiring about financial aid opportunities, you are told the only financial aid remaining is designated specifically for minority students. Wouldn't you feel a certain amount of animosity toward the next minority studentyou came incontact with? The so-called civil rights leadership regularly issues inflammatory statements detailing how either public or private ac­ tions and/or policies will result in a back­ lash of racism. One should wonder no vttQflpuoO ,0' whether the so-called civil rights leader­ ship has recognized its actions will cause a backlash of racism. Many Americans, who genuinely want to provide equal ac­ cess to education for all, and who believed, if not participated, in the civil rights movement, will stop supporting the tra­ ditional civil rights organizations such as theNAACP, PUSH and the Urban League. I believe many God-fearing Americans will do just this because now it is clear these so-called leaders want to have their respective groups placed above the law. The American people, college students included, will not stand for this. Civil rights leaders have used the Civil Rights Act to protect myriad Americans from the"vestiges of racism which pervade this country." However, these leaders now feel minorities should be excluded from the class of Americans to which the act applies. Benjamin Hooks and others are making a mockery of the system and certainly are diminishing theearnest efforts of leaders across the country who truly want equal rights for all. Many thanks go to Ben Hooks and to other so-called civil rights leaders for showing Americans people of color do not want to be judged by the content of their character but rather by the color of their skin. Editor's note: Thomas A. Perry is a graduate of the University of the District of Columbia and currently is studying law. Bush writes to students PRESIDENTIAL LETTER TO COLLEGE STUDENTS If armed men invaded a home in this country, killed those in their way, stole what they wanted and then announced the house was now theirs—no one would hesitate about what must be done. And that is why we cannot hesitate about what must be done halfway around the world: in Kuwait. There is much in the modem world that is subject to doubts or questions—washed in shades of gray. But not the brutal ag­ gression of Saddam Hussein against a peaceful, sovereign nation and its people. It's black and white. The facts are clear. The choice unambiguous. The terror S addam Hussein has imposed upon Kuwait violates every principle of human decency. Listen to what Amnesty International has documented. "Wide­ spread abuses of human rights have been perpetrated by Iraqi forces...arbitrary ar­ rest and detention without trail of extrajudicial execution of hundreds ot unarmed civilians, including children." There's no horror that could make this a more obvious conflict of good vs. evil. The man who used chemical warfare on his own people—once again including children—now oversees public hangings ofdissenters. And daily his troops commit atrocities against Kuwaiti citizens. This brutality has reverberated throughout the entire world. If we do not follow the dictates of our inner moral compass and stand up for human life, then his lawlessness will threaten the peace and democracy of the emerging New World Order we now see: this long dreamed-of vision we've all worked to­ ward for so long. , A year after the joyous dawn of freedom's light in Eastern Europe, a dark evil has descended in another part of the world. But we have the chance—and we have the obligation—to stop ruthless aggression. I have been in war. I have known the tenor of combat And I tell you this with all my heart: I don't want there to be war ever again.

Alpha Phi sorority joins Greeks that we needed another avenue." She con­ tinued, "There was a need that was not being met." Karen Radlinski, a field consultant for Alpha Phi,concurred that the ASU chapter would strengthen the Panhellenic system, making it more notable. She also com­ mented, "The addition (of thencw sorority) provides extra spaces to accommodate these women. Sororities arc not elite, exclusive groups and wc want all people that are interested to have the opportunity to participate." Jones further explained that the Alpha Phi sorority was selected because it was felt that it would best suit the needs of the campus. Jones stated, "The new sorority offers certain things that we currently don't have on campus such as philan­ thropy projects. The Alpha Phis also have good national support." Part of the national support that Jones acknowledged was the field consultant that the Alpha Phi chapter has sent to ASU to help with thecolonization process. Part of Radlinski's job as an Alpha Phi field consultant is to establish a strong colony at new chapters. Radlinski staled that being a founding member of a colony "affords an opportu­ nity that an established sorority can't of­ fer. By participating in a colony, it affords you the opportunity to custom make a sorority from the ground up." "I feel that the Alpha Phi colony will become a working cohesive unit compa­ rable to any other sorority," stated Radlinski. She continued, "I hope that the girls are able to have the type of experi­ ence that I had." Radlinski described the type of person who participates in an Alpha Phi sorority as being "the movers and the shakers. Generally, we're the journalists, the law­ yers, the politicians. . . the people who turn the gears," Radlinski noted.

On the fifth day of Operation Desert Storm, one fallen American pilot was rescued in a daring Air Force Mission. Under the cover of two A10 jets, an Air Force search-and-rescue helicopter picked up the Navy pilot in an eight-hour mission. Other pilots however, were not as lucky. Allied leaders condemned Iraq's treatment of captured pilots as a "war crime" violating the Geneva Conven­ tion. Hussein claimed he would place the pilots in areas that would be targets for possible bombing raids. Nearly 30 students from ASU have been pulled from classes to help support Operation Desert Storm.

But what's the campus after rvoyone's mind when they return to I long absence? When is the next break? The newer is. of course, the ever-popular, never borng, always needed, spring break. If you intend to oKiey beyond the realms of the great Appalahjan Mountains during your spare time, I suggest ,veling to Orlando, Fla. for an exciting trip to Jaiversal Studios. Your humble associate had the opportunity to risit the 444-acre park and experience the sights. It sounds, and the long waits in lines. Read atfully and see if this trip is worth looking into. Fist of all one should note that one of the worst limes to visit Universal, or any Florida attraction forthatmatter, is betweenChristmas and theendof Jmuary.The crowds are unbelievable. Christmas, unfortunately, was the time of year that I visited Florida. Supposedly, the best time to visit is around it time of our spring break. )( Now, what is Universal like? To anyone who is 9 itaofmovie making or just anyone who loves amusement parks, this attraction was made rjwi. Universal has plenty to see and explore. wrtalistic sets, wonderful rides, and several live lows happening simultaneously around the park wicihe Universal Studios experience.

The movie— which deals with U.S. bombing missions during the Vietnam War—cameonly days after the U.S.Allied air strikes began against Iraq. Although the film is relevant concerning sub­ ject matter, it does not qualify as escapist enter­ tainment. Some may believe Paramount released the film in order to benefit from free publicity. On the contrary, the studio executives behind "In­ truder" are probably shuddering at the coinci­ dence. So why the scoop about release dales, you ask? Well, you know a movie' s in trouble when its date of release is more impelling than the movie itself. "Flight of the Intruder" is set in 1972, after seven years of war in Vietnam. Brad Johnsonstars as hot-shot pilot Jake Grafton. After a bombing raid, Jake's partner is killed. Understandably, Jake is upset, especially since the suspected tar­ gets (truck parks) turn out to be nothing more than trees. In an effort to dissipate his confusion, Jake consults with a seasoned vet (Willem Dafoe) about undertaking a private bombing raidon "Sam City," a secret hiding place for enemy missiles in Hanoi. The two undertake the mission, and after returning must deal with their hard-nosed com­ mander Camparelli (Danny Glover). Flight of the Intruder" is, technically, an am­ bitious film. Director John Milius proves to be a deft director as far as action scenes go. A sweep­ ing aerial shot of a Naval ceremony aboard an aircraft carrier at sea is one of the best single scenes I've ever seen. In fact, each takeoff, flight, and landing reveals Milius' talent for capturing fails the adrenaline-pumping task of being a fighter pilot. "Intruder" also deserves credit for its special effects. If you've seen any recent footage of the war in tire Gulf, the effects will most certainly have a more emotional impact, during the bomb­ ing of Hanoi, the resulting explosions, missile launches, and tracer bullets are frighteningly au­ thentic. On a technical level, "Intruder" delivers a powerful punch. Although the film succeeds technically, its nar­ rative falls fiat. While the special effects convey the ambition of "Intruder," the rest of the movie is marred by ambivalence.The film is, quite simply, aimless. It just can't decide on what type of movie to be. In the beginning, it treads on 'Top Gun" turf: hot-shot pilot loses his partner, spends some time in a bar, meets a beautiful woman. Then it turns to a series of "techno-thriller" action se­ quences a la "The Hunt for Red October." The film then falls into the "jungle-rescue" genre, thus becoming a pale imitation of "Bat-21." "Intruder's" indecisiveness serves only to un­ derscore the flagrant waste of acting talent on board. In his first major role since Spielberg's "Always," Brad Johnson has a definite presence as staid yet tough Jake Grafton. Dafoe and Glover also turn in good performances. As Jake's lover and confidant, Rosanna Arquette's character is practically ignored. After maybe two or three scenes, she is never heard from again; possibly a victim of editing. "Flight of the Intruder" has a lot of promise, but does not deliver. The film makes the crucial mistake of sacrificing narrative for action. "Intruder's " technical excellence—excluding its similarity to recent events in the Persian Gulf— tries to compensate for the film's irresoluteness. As a result, "Flight of the Intruder" is more of an eerie coincidence than a memorable film. Appalachian Photo by Keith Jackson BIG SCREEN MOVIES FOR THE PRICE OF A TWO-LITER: The Appalachian Theatre now features 99-cent movies challenging other local theaters and video rental stores. Chilling sequel by local author published By WILLIAM PURCELL Appalachian Staff Writer "Torments," the third book in as many years for North Carolina Writer Lisa W. Cantrell, continues the spellbinding horror of her award-winning se­ ries. In each book,the intensity of the ever-progressing plot exhibits Cantrell's control of characters and events. Cantrell masterfully combines skillful plot movement withdescription that is vivid yetconcise. The product is a consuming text allowing empathy with characters and permitting satisfaction in the destruction, devastation and death of those same characters as events unfold. This bizarre quality is the essence of horror writing today. Cantrell's style sets her writing apart from other horror writers. In only one or two words, she can dispel readers' hopes and desires for a character and shock them into reality. Cantrell writes, "He could see the light getting brighter. Was it day already?....'I'm going to make it,' Eddie whis­ pered, and died." Cantrell lives in Madison, but grew up in Bir­ mingham, Ala. All three of her books are set in North Carolina so local readers can enjoy familiar references. It becomes a challenge to figure out the probable location of the fictional towns. Though Cantrell gives many hints, you'd have better luck finding Mayberry. Both "The Manse" and 'Tor­ ments" are set in the fictional town of Menillville while a third book "The Ridge" takes place in Collett county. "The Manse", which won the Honor Writers of America's Bram Stoker Award for Outstanding First Novel, centers around an old Victorian mansion which the Jaycee'sof Menillville use for their annual House of Horrors. A deep, intriguing plot culminates in the destruction of the house known as The Manse. On Halloween night, the venerable edifice bums to the ground killing 37 people, but the fire alone wasnot responsible for all of the deaths. "Torments" picks up two years later when a strange calling brings the characters from part one back to Menillville. Condominiums are now built over the foundation of The Manse. The buildings provide a medium for the tenor to resurface in this small town plagued with death. The psychological torments arc only the beginning of the honor for Vince Collciti, Samantha Evers, Ted Nathan and Pearl Rollins. This is perhaps Cantrell's best work; however, giving away the plot and final conclusion would be an injustice. The homes in Cantrell's books all take on a role as important as any character. The Manse had a heart of its own given life by the souls it fed on and the house known as The Ridge is the center of the supernatural events in the novel by the same title. The histories of the homes in both books are also important. The Manse holds family betrayal and The Ridge houses occult religious groups. "The Ridge" reveals a more supernatural side to her writing. The plot centers around a bizarre accident that splattered the remains of four people over the walls of a large living-room but left a By DAVID ALSTON Appalachian Staff Writer It's great to be alive. Pure, undiluted, cut-thebull rock-n-roll, the perfect way to start (or finish) the day. Sonic Youth, New York's own quasilegendary noisemeisters blew tlirough the Tri­ angle recently and changed the definitions of rockn-roll with one of the most astounding musical onslaughts perpetrated in this neck of the woods in skittish and cynical. When this happens, it's inevi­ table that some band will crop up that every critic from coast to coast will build up into the new rock flavor of the month. Then, two months later, the artists in question are broke and forgotten again. When punk got worked over by the supply-anddemand ethic, incredible numbers of post—hype casualties began to litter rock history. Hopefully, the Sonics will not be a victim of such a scenario. However, Sonic Youth's edge on the rock biz martyrmaking tendency is their slow development quite some time. A Sonic Youth '"show" is not exactly a"show.""Experience" is the more precise term. Following the release of their latest album "Goo," Sonic Youth lived up to their formidable reputation. The Sonics have, over the last ten years, amassed a critical following of truly epic proportions, which in a way is too bad. Professional critics often become critics because they can't actually do the r&r thing themselves with any kind of style or antistyle or anything else.

The problem is, Nick did not do it, and his mafia ties make it difficult to provide an alibi. As time goes on, you find that human hands were not responsible for these deaths. The answer is found under the house. I first met Cantrell when she spoke to my high school senior English class just before the publi­ cation of "The Manse". Reading excerpts from her book, she explained the importance of description in horror writing. The detail must be there in order for the reader to picture what is happening, but it also must not take away from the progression of the plot. Cantrell masterfully lures the reader into vibrant visions of set and character while action moves with a pace determined by the author. Cantrell teaches a writers workshop and tours the Southeast promoting her books. Autographed copies of her works are not hard to find.

What began asconfron­ tational art noise in 1980, had grown by 1985's "Bad Moon Rising" into a trancelike, distorted vision - music where nothing was clear or pure, but kept alive through the force of abstract intensity from start to finish. By "Evol" in 1986, the soundscape had tight­ ened up considerably, into a dark noisy interpreta­ tion of "pop." 1987's "Sister" brought them into the rock-n-roll daylight, with radically diverse musical styles all getting chewed up and spit back out in a blinding fury. The follow-up, "Daydream Nation"(from 1988) has become anoiserock mile­ stone, tightening the sound further still, focusing the band's attack (many of these tunes are actually quite catchy), and lyrically working over diverse aspects of late 80's pop culture - a musical "On The Road" played through invented guitar tunings. Anyhow, Sonic Youth took the stage sometime after 11 and...SSKKKZZZZEEEERRROOOZ7.GGEEE... guitars proceeded tosling out waves of noise nirvana so total as to produce a state of suspended animation. After the intro blast, the band tore into a stripped-down rendition of'Tom Violence" (from "Evol"), which effectively set the tone for the evening - delightful sonic vertigo induced by overlapping waves of - well, you get the picture. My mind was instantly blown. Any lingering doubts as to this band's ability to ROCK were shattered by the next tune, 'Titanium Expose," from their latest (major-label debut) re­ lease, "Goo." Following a bit of introductory onstage banter, "This song is about what happens in bed, which can sometimes be highly amusing." The band trashed into this dense little thrash-suite. Galvanized, as complex bits of melody splintered and were reassembled on the spot, the band lunged and spun around the stage - and the sound grew tighter and lighter... This was one of those shows when adjectives - language - becomes totally inadSee SONIC page 6 �The Appalachian Thursday Jan,inn, 24 1QQI Sonic Universal Chilling Continued from page 5 Continued from page 5 equate in providing credible descriptions or lhe 50 zillion-plus watts of sonic apocalypse flowing off the stage and into the audience. Through the next hour-and-twenty or so. Sonic Youth ran through the bulk of Goo" and hit some of the highspots from the three previous albums: "Eric's Trip," Catholic Block,""Schizophrenia" ("This is a song about Brian Wilson"), "White Cross and "Tom Violence." As always there were a few others I would've loved to hear ("Mote" and "The Wonder/ Hyperstation" were at the top of my scream-for-more-encore list). But, the band was tired, and the hour was getting mighty late. I left convinced that this was the future, and that, yes, there is still some rock-n-roll that rises above any labels of style to becomerevolutionary. Which brings us to their newest,"Goo." It s been out a few months, and is still selling reasonably well - due to hype and critical brouhaha. The mainstream Rolling S tone" magazine crowd isslowly getting a whiff of what's been blowing through the so-called underground for years now. The reality behind it all is the presence of what could be the first rock masterpiece of the 90's. It's still almost too early to tell - it's only easy in retro but "Goo" rocks a lot harder than "Day­ dream Nation," and Sonic Youth's newfound major label status provides an entirely different realm of access -"Goo" is to be found in mails from coast-to-coast (the American way, as decreed by Tiffany). The tunes are all killer. "Mote" brings the ambitious sweep of the Velvet Under­ ground or early Syd Barrett in focus with the current underground noise aesthetic. It's a mindfreak rage that takes no prison­ ers ('scuze the cliche). "Kool Think" is a political triumph because it's NOT a preachy diatribe - its politics are brought down to a personal me-and-you level of impact. Thus the 'statements' will still hold up long after the latest crop of strum-andyodel neofolkies have been shown up as the opportunists that they are. 'Tunic" extends the pop-culture fixation back to the late pop vocalist Karen Carpenter. "Mildred Pierce" and "Scooter and Jinx" illustrate, in crystal clear vision, what one can do with SOUND when you really set your mind to it. And as for 'Titanium Expose, ... well, that little patch of ground has already been covered...

By SHEA GRIFFIN Assistant Sports Editor The Appalachian State men's basketball squad struggled through the non-confer­ ence portion of their schedule over the holidays, dropping three of five contests to non-league opponents. The Mountaineers, who entered the break with a 5-2 record, now stand at 9-8 on the season. "I don't think we played very well over the holidays," ASU Head Coach Tom Apke said. "We weren't very consistent. A lot had todo with all the games being on the road. We didn't have any home games to rekindle the fire." The Mountaineers tipped off the holi­ day season by playing in the Hawaii PreHoliday Classic in Honolulu on Dec. 2021, where they dropped two contests. Appalachian went back on the road on Jan. 19 and lost a close encounter to Tennessee-Chattanooga, 86-82. The Mountaineers rebounded from the close loss at UTC to nip Western Carolina95-93 in CullowheeJan. 22.Spurlock scored 24 points and raked in 10 re­ bounds to push the Apps to victory. ASU, which is currently tied with Marshall and VMI for fourth in the con­ ference, begins a four-game homestand this weekend. The homestand features visits from the Thundering Herd and the Keydets, as well as a return match with East Tennessee and a visit from nation­ ally ranked Southern Mississippi. Apke called the homestand a "crucial stretch" in the season. "Home wins are things you have to have because you can't bank on wins on the road in the conference," Apke said. "We haven't been consistent," Apke added. "If we can keep fine tuning, we've got a chance to be in the thick of the race even though we're 2-3 right now."

Heading into exams, Appalachian was 3-4 but had won two of its last three games and ap­ peared to be heading into the right direc­ tion. Since then, the Lady Mountaineers have lost half of their eight games, and, more importantly, Ail-American candi­ date Shannon Thomas. Thomas, started the first seven games then sat out the next three with an injured knee. She came back to play against Charleston Southern and the College of Charleston before having to be sidelined with an injury that has turned out to be more serious than first thought (See related article this page). In the opening game of the tourney, ASU fell to the Eagles of North Texas 9583. Billy Ross scored 22 points and fresh­ man Ricky Nedd grabbed 12 rebounds to pace the Mountaineers. "We played O.K. against North Texas, but we didn't shoot well," Apke said. The Apps then lost a 96-95 double overtime contest to Wagner in the con­ solation game of the Hawaii tournament. Steve Spurlock netted 27 points and came down with 16 rebounds, while Broderick Parker scored 25 points. "We played flat against Wagner," Apke said. "We were able to rally from eight points down to tie the game and have a chance to win before losing in two overtimes." The Mountaineers rebounded from their two-game losing streak to edge Montana State 84 -82 on Dec. 28 in Bozeman, Mt. Ross led the Mountaineers with 20 points, his second 20 point contest in three out­ ings, while Spurlock and Tim Powers grabbed nine rebounds apiece for the Mountaineers. The contest marked the second time this season Appalachian defeated Montana State, having drubbed the Bobcats 101-81 in Boone on Dec. 3. "That was a big game for us," Apke said. "Montana State is currently near the top in the Big Sky Conference." ASU played its fourth straight away game on Jan. 2, squeaking out a 76-72 victory over the UNC-Asheville Bull­ dogs. "We were very flat and didn't play well," Apke said. "But we hung on enough to win." Spurlock continued his impressive play by scoring 18 points and hauling in 10 rebounds against the Bulldogs. Powers also scored 18 points and Parker grabbed 11 rebounds for the Apps. After tipping off the Southern Confer­ ence season against EastTennessee State on Jan. 5, ASU travelled to meet former conference foe and current Big South member Davidson, who whipped the Mountaineers 72-60. "That was probably our worst game of the season," Apke said. "We never gave ourselves much of a chance to win." The Mountaineers, playing without Powers, who missed the game with a stiff knee, were led by Spurlock's 19 points and six rebounds. Nedd started for Powers and scored 16 points, hitting eight of nine shots from the field. "We said after two or three days of practice that he was as good as we had," Apke said. "He's been a defensive stop­ per on inside as well as outside people. I didn't think he'd do as many things as he's done."

Never before in the course of human history has there been an explosion of knowledge, information, images and world-conscious­ ness like today. Technology has expanded our world Many futurists call the world the "global village" because we can find out what is happening across the oceans just as fast as we can find out what is happening across town. The technology available is allowing us to make history, both good and bad. Just days ago the first US cruise missiles destroyed Iraqi military targets. We found the US at war with Sad am Hussien's military machine. Eachnight, pictures, images, updates and live reports enter our homes and dorms via the television. The anchormen orchestrate reports from 4 of the 7 continents into a logical story of the days events relating to the gulf. No other generation in history has had this capability. As state of the art patriot missile systems protect the airfields of Saudi Arabia, however, technology seems to have forgotten some of the people who are also adding to Proudly building the real American dream By TARBER JOHNSON Appalachian Staff Writer "I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the momentI still havea dream. When the architects of our republic wrote the mag­ nificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note that all men would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happi­ ness." These words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. express much of who I am as a person. I am proud to be an American. We live in a land where different types of people can live in peace with a minimum of social problems and conflicts. Why? Because we as a people work together to find room to build our minds, to grow in our thinking and to search for new ideas. These are the things that make us strong and make us love and appreciate one an­ other, not only for our likenesses, but also for our differences. In this land, we can choose to prosper and grow in the religion To the editor: Dear Spraypaint-Happy Anti-War Protesters, By GARY LARSON P„„S;nd,cate •990 universal Press Syi of our choice, whether it be Baptist or Buddhist, Muslim or Agnostic. Freedom of religion is one of our most precious guarantees in the Bill of Rights. In this land where opportunity domi­ nates, opportunity is found in the educa­ tional world where youth and adults can improve their minds in order to serve society. Leadership becomes an ability which may lead to a better job, more security, self-confidence and better ser­ vice to society as a whole. An old Latin proverb says, "When a man is no longer anxious to do better than well, he is done for." America is abundant with people who are anxious. America is abundant with people who are "proud to be Americans". I am proud to be an American. This is a land where beauty captures the eye of the beholder and a nation that dominates others in splendor and character. Beauty and character make this nation strong. This is America. A land where children of different ethnic back­ grounds can at last play together with joy and love. This is America. A land where power lies with the people. This is America. A land where men care enough to die for their country. We are like a race of mongrels, but proud of it. In all our veins, there is a mixture of races, places, and genes, and like mongrel pups, we are the smartest, fastest, and liveliest. We are a spectacular nation with an excellent track record, but we are not yet at our peak. When we get there, which will be soon, the world will know the true meaning of the United States. Since we have been on an adventure whichhas not been easy, we have surprised some nations with our accomplishments. Within only three centuries we have both struggled and prospered. We have been through wars that could have destroyed us, but we have grown stronger. These are times when men's hearts cry in search of an answer to a deeper need. One day my voice will be one that men shall heed, and then and only then will they see my dream. A dream of love, a dream of happiness. A dream that will end world and nationalconflicts. A dream that all nuclear weapons which hang over, us daily like an ominous cloud will van­ ish. A dream that will end poverty. A dream that is deeply rooted with thedrearn of Dr. Martin Luther King,Jr. A dream t(>; which all of us will be heirs. I see speck*! of that dream shining. One day I hope td! see that dream disperse all across this nation. It will be a dispersement that wilt; lead us out of darkness. We will soon'i reach that point for we are advancing.!

Let 1991 be the year thai we all one all Americans want, but in the real world, some people "make a difference." As students at ASU, we understand and fully agree with your views of giving peace a chance, but it is time to wake up and take a look around at what is going on in the Middle East We are at war with Iraq and we are not going to change President Bush's mind. It is our duty as American citizens to back our democratically elected government and support our nation and its decisions. You may not personally agree with the decision but it is your obligation to abide by the decision and not cause problems from the inside. Our troops need your support, not your causing problems at home. There are ways to voice your opinion other than defacing our beautiful campus with spraypaint. By spraypainting a glass tile at the new Business Building, you did nothing but show everyone your ignorance by spraypainting a message that will not be seen by anyone who can make a difference. As a matter of fact, you just got each and everyone of us an additional charge on our fees so the university can clean the paint off of that tile. No, it will not be a phenomenal charge, but it is the principle of the matter. Next, you took it a step further and painted the sidewalk outside of the student union. The same message that is above applies here as well. It is this same narrow-minded rationale that has gotten us involved in a war in the Middle East. Hussein had no business suppressing the Kuwaiti citizens and forcing the Iraqi ideals on them. He could have voiced his opinion from inside the borders of his own country. You have taken it upon yourself to spraypaint your ideals on places that they do not belong and try to force them upon others. The tunnels are the place foT you to express yourself with paint and peace marches are the place for you to voice your vocal opinions. Don't take it upon yourself to advocate peace when you are using the same tactics to force your ideals on others that Hussein used to force his ideals on the citizens of Kuwait. of the army, just 25 miles or less from the enemy, hoping to see them before they see us. Our only escape from this hell is sinking into our own little world through the reading and writing of letters. We also get a little information from the new guys from home. After hearing of all the support we're getting, we Jpave all fallen in love with our country all over again. It's a great thing for you all to be backing us Americans now, and not after the names have been written in stone. Then it's too late. We're human too, just as scared as the next guy of war and death... maybe more so, due to the fact we have to deal with it daily. I know there is a possibility of never seeing home again. If this happens, let it be known that I did not give my life just because it was my job, or because "I In Christ's Name signed on the dotted line."

Thanks, Tripp Love for America To the editor: As a former student of ASU, I would like to express a few feelings to my friends and classmates I left just a few short months ago. I miss ASU and I often find myself bragging about how great the students make the school. I'm now in a country far away on the brink of war.

Brown III I Troop 3/2 ACR APO NY 09452 Box 147 Don't stop writing To the editor: Soldiers in Saudi Arabia are lonely. Many don't receive letters from home. They feel a gTeat void in their lives. Driving their trucks down the road, there is a fruitless hope that around the next sand dune is the grass and trees of their home town, with loved ones rushing out to meet them. Mail call is the high point of the day. Letters marked 'To Any SoldieT" from caring people are given out to soldiers who don't receive mail, under the condition that the soldiers write back. There is no real social life for the soldier in Saudi Arabia. Military professionalism represses personal relationship. Friendships with locals are restricted by the Islamic culture. Loneliness and boredom are the enemies of the soldiers of Desert Shield. More than anyone, college students can appreciate the feeling of being separated by the ones they love. Letters from students are treasured here. The soldiers are happy to hear from informed people in their own age group who understand what being away from home is all about. Photos received are cherished—they are lasting proof of the care and concern of the sender. The mail is slow, but you may be assured that every effort will be made to answer the letters. You may address them to: Any Soldier (you may specify male or female) c/o 1st Medical Group Operation Desert Shield APO, NY 09657 Thank you so very much for you help. James P.

University Planner Dr. Judith Pulley said the cost of construction would be the only cost covered by the $24 million, and added that the sum does not include maintenance costs. The resolution passed by SG A senators says the state has pledged a total of $9.75 million toward construction of the pro­ posed SAC. However, state legislators said the amount of money to be allocated by the state has yet to be debated.

According to Rice, these trees remove an estimated 251 pounds of carbon diox­ ide from the air, per year. He also said that they would take 27.7 tons of harmful gasses from the atmosphere for every year they are left standing. gram. All paper to be recycled should be separated into the following categories: Rice said the university has recycled 184 poimds of aluminium cans, and in the process, has saved the energy equivalent of 216 gallons of gasoline.

Tuesday. April 10.1990 i pigeon River controversy pits town against town Rv JON T. JIMISON By inv T Editor-in-Chief and ERIC D. MILLER Appalachian Managing Editor For 82 years, the pulp and paper Champion International President L.C. Heist announced in a recent news conference that the company will begin a S250 million modernization of its plant, despite the fact that the Dead Pigeon River Council is appealing the company's Environ­ mental Protection Agency discharge permit. He said that the modernization project is slated to take place over a three-year period. mill of Ch nona, has been spewing ,ts wastes into the Pigeon River Above mill, the river runs clear, but it departs the Canton, N.C. plam color of black coffee. ^ one in Hartford, Tenn.. the first sizable community downfrom the mill, can remember a time when the river was clear. Ever. The Town No itream Hartford was once a bustling resort town on the edge of the Sinokey Mountains of Southeastern Tennessee. Now the com munity is no more than a shell of the town it once was said Gav ttebb. vice president of die Dead Pigeon River Council an conization fighting for the clean-up of the Pigeon River ' •TTie little town of Hartford was once a thriving town-thai jBle place had two movie theaters, the first two in this area That place had hotels," he said. Today, the town has little more than a few houses, a post office jnJ a schoolhouse. There can always be more appeals; there can alw ays be more challenges and delays." Heist said. "And w e realize that there is a real risk to us if the appeals process produces an outcome that this mill cannot live with, but a knot can never be untied by simply continuing to pull on both ends of the string." Champion officials, who originally said thev would have to shutdown the plant or lay off as many as 1.000 workers if they were forced to modernize, have scaled down their projection to a layoff involving only 300 employees. According to Heist, the company w ill try to eliminate as many jobs as possible through attrition, retirement and transfers to other Champion plants. "Champion's plan is to keep (the mill) going indefinitely," he said. Heist alluded to the current controversy surrounding the company s discharges into the Pigeon River."We believe that Jhepiajority of the people in this region are tired of the legal ma neuvenng and delay, they just want the project to begin, and more importantly, to be complete," he said. North Carolina Governor Jim Martin, who has been a sup­ porter of the Champion Mill, praised the company for itsefforts. This decision proves the company's commitment to the people of Canton. Haywood County and Western North Carolina." he said in a written statement. The Dead Pigeon Riser Council DPRC \ ice President Gay Webb is not impressed with Martin's assessment of the situation. "Champion International has so much pull with Gov. Martin that it is unbelievable. If I were Gov. Martin, I would be ashamed—the way he lets a company lead him around by the nose," he said. 55 ebb, Hartford residents and others jointly founded the DPRC as a way to concentrate the efforts to clean up the Pigeon River It we get this river cleaned up, this will prove that die people can organize to get more out of their senators," Webb said. The Council's efforts have not been well-received by those whose sentiments apparently lie with Champion International. "We get threatened periodically," he said and added that he has also received bribes to stop his actions. Residents attribute their town's demise to manv things in eluding what some say is an unusually high cancer rate In fact, |e town has been termed by many as"Widowville," because so many of 'he men have died of cancer. According to Hartford Postmaster Mary Woody, the river is to Hame. "Five people in one family died of cancer. They were families that did a lot of fishing out of the river. That tells you that there's something in that river." Residents say the river is nothing more than a stinking eyesore devoid of any practical purpose. "You don'tsee any picnic tables Bound the river here; you don't see any new homes along the liver toe -or any river sports," Woody said. "Some days the smell is just unbearable." Margaret Jenkins, an 82-year-old woman who has lived in Hartford all her life, has opted not to drink the water in her well or tear it might be laced with toxic chemicals. "Miss Woody kings me all my cooking and drinking water; (she) has for Bound 12 years," she said. "But I have to use the well-water for iedishes and bathroom. She can't bring me all that much. The tell water smells like the river." Jenkins believes she has good reasons to avoid the water There has been a lot of cancer here—my husband died of cancer. And he didn't drink; he didn't smoke. He didn't even drink coffee, but he ate fish out of the river," she said 1 Jenkins said she was unaware of the possible dangers of eating lie fish from the river when her husband died over 10 years ago. She said the warning signs along the river were posted just two years ago. "There are people still fishing," Jenkirs said. "Even with all those signs up." Greenpeace also released internal paper industry documents indicating that dioxin is present in everyday products such as diapers, cigarette papers, coffee filters, toilet paper and sanitary napkins. Concerned with the town s abnormally high cancer rate, the residents gathered the names of 176 people (out of the town's ipproximate population of 500) who had died of cancer since 1961. There was a husband and wife in the bed at the same time. He was diagnosed as having cancer. And when she found out that ^ Wad cancer, shecame over and said, 'I've gotto get better and t#ecare of my husband because he's so rriuch worse off thah I a.' She died 30 days before he did," Woody said. The Environment vs. Jobs Although Hartford residents and DPRC members indicate hey regret the potential loss of jobs if Champion were to completely modernize, they said the environrrienTis their prinary concern. "I want nothing from these people but for (hem to :lcan up the river and help save the environment," Webb said. We shouldn t give anybody an extended license to further lam age our environment." Woody is referring to Wilma and Denzel Cates. After their cmcer-related deaths, the Cates' children filed a lawsuit against Champion International for what they said is a conscious disre|ard and contempt for the health and safety of their parents. Webb of the Dead Pigeon River Society said, "The high rate of cancer is not a made-up thing—it's there; it's real." As far as the residents of Hartford are concerned. Champion International is responsible for the deaths of both the residents md the river. (Losing 2,200jobs) is a terrible tragedy. But there are no jobs >r amount of money in this world that could pay for further lamaging our environment—it just cannot be done,"Webb said. (The DPRC) could have done more to hurt Champion, but we on t want the mill shut down—we just want the river cleaned p," he added. Years ago fish would wash up when the river would be up," *oody said. "Then the water would go down and leave dead fish there. The dogs would come in and eat the fish, and then the dogs jwoulddie, 'she added. "It has been proven that fish from the river pvedioxin (the unwanted by-product of the chlorine bleaching Picess used to make paper) in them." The 82-year-old Jenkins agrees. "I hate to see people lose their >bs. But if we had a plant here, and it went back toward Canton, hat do you think they would do to us? They would say 'close tat mill, that's killing us'—that's exactly what they'd say," she For Margaret Jenkins it is simple. "There's something about this river that causes cancer." The Mill Champion International is the largest employer in North ffolina west of Charlotte. It has been estimated that the mill fcnually sumps in SI 60 million to the local economy. The plant Pploys approximately 2,200 people and has been the lifeblood North Carolina's Haywood County since it opened its doors 11908. Themill can produce over 334,000 tons of uncoated paper and 256,000 tons of bleached paperboard annually. Mill jobs ^as much as $40,000 annually and have helped the per capita taual income in Haywood County reach over SI2,000. rnford s Coche County has a per capita income of approxi"elv $6,800. Webb sees the current situation as unfair to his part of the state. "For every dollar that they pay out in wages, a thousand is lost downstream," he said. Webb cited the tourism revenues that might have been real­ ized had the river been clean. "The economic situation is so lopsided," he said. The DPRC have looked for help from a variety of agencies and politicians, including the EPA. According to Webb, the group has received little help. "The hardest tiling for me to accept was that the EPA had very little concern for the environment, and still have very little concern. They are strictly controlled by the heavy, politically oriented companies—Champion International being one of the best," Webb said. "The EPA's job in the Southeast region is to protect Cham­ pion." Webb said. AlthoughTennessee Govenor Ned Ray McWhener has called for the river to be cleaned up, Webb is skeptical of the stale's efforts. "The hardest thing for me to accept was my own state of Tennessee—the state of Tennessee was so influenced by Cham­ pion that we would have had it cleaned up a long lime ago had we had an honest state government," Webb said. The Pollutant Early in 1988, the town's suspicions were confirmed when dioxin was detected in twoPigeon River fish—a brown trout and a white sucker. These tests followed EPA findings that fish near paper mills in other states showed high levels of dioxin. North Carolina Health Director Ronald Levine officially warned that fish in the Pigeon River below Canton should not be eaten. Scientists have found that dioxin causes cancer, damages the immune system, and causes birth defects when administered to laboratory animals. Dioxin has been called the most toxic sub­ stance known to man. Environmentalists contend that dioxin (also know as TCDD) not only causes cancer, but magnifies the effects of other cancer-causing agents. They also claim that no safe level of dioxin exposure has ever been established. Dioxin is the chemical present in Agent Orange, the defolia­ tion substance used for military purposes in Vietnam. It is also one of the chemicals that forced the evacuation of Serveso, Italy and of Times Beach. Mo. The environmental group Greenpeace, which has posted dioxin warning signs along the Pigeon River, earlier released confidential EPA documents leaked to them by a source close to the EPA. In Greenpeace's publication titled "No Margin of Safety: A Preliminary Report on Dioxin Pollution and the Need for Emergency Action in the Pulpand Paper Industry," the group claims that the EPA knew as early as by 1980 that pulp and paper mills were potentially major discharges of dioxin. 'Data gathered in 1985 indicated the source was not dioxincontaminated pesticides used on wood and mill equipment but dioxin formation in chlorine-based pulping processes," the book's preface states. Margaret Jenkins "My husband died of cancer. And he didn't drink; he didn't smoke. He didn't even drink coffee, but he ate fish out of the river. The Future Webb is skeptical of Champion's plans to clean up the Pigeon River and modernize its plant. He cited newspaper articles as early as 1912 where Champion promised similar actions. "What I'm saying is at the end of this (EPA) permit, give Champion some time; give them what they need to place their employees where they want to. But whatever you do, make sure the environment is protected," he said. Webb is optimistic that the river will eventually be cleared up. "If nothing happens to our organization, something will be done. I expect Champion to eventually call and ask us what we want." Jenkins, bom the same year that Champion began its opera­ tions, said she has waited a long time to see the river cleaned up. "I think the pollution is pretty bad. It has been polluted for too long, and I'd like to see it cleaned up. If they don't do it soon, I won't be alive to see it."

April in loon Campus fighting litter problem B.v JOEL RING LEY Api»l«c!uln SUIT Writer Later continues to be a constant prob­ lem on the ASU campus and according to Assista; Physical Plant Director Jeny McKaskel, there isn't enough man power to keep the campus as spotless as is de­ sired. Although the university employs two, and sometimes three, men who are re­ sponsible for emptying trash containers and picking up Utter on the grounds, McKaskel said the problem was too much for the men to handle. "Keeping the cam­ pus clean is a very big job for two or three men," he said. According to McKaskel, litter is a widespread problem across campus, but he said it remains mainly concentrated in the mall area in front of the cafeteria and around the stadium parking lot. McKaskel saidgarbage receptacles have been placed in various locations around the campus and added that students are encouraged to use these cans to dispose of tltcir litter. He said the Utter problem could be greatly reduced if members of the uni­ versity community would use the cans for the purpose for which they are provided. McKaskel said that the Utter problem is basically something the students should be aware of and try to do something about. He said student organizations as well as GOLD MINE individuals are encouraged toget involved with campus clean-up efforts, and added that another way students can contribute to the campus-w ide clean up efforts is to participate in the recycling program im­ plemented earlier in the academic year. (See related article on campus recycling on pg. 2 ). Among those organizations lending a hand to the clean up efforts are the High­ land Biology Club and Chemistry Soci­ ety, whose members staged a clean up of Kraut Creek several weeks ago (See page 8).

Young also said his group "in no way, overtly, covertly or otherwise, supports the endangerment of the lives of human beings, or any other living thing.... Earth First! tries to prevent (clearcutting) through peaceful direct action, along the lines of Gandhi and Martin Luther King." A bulletin published by Earth Liberation Front! urges mem­ bers to take actions against "technological society" with such actions as"a civil disobedience action where people actually put their bodies between the machine and destruction to come, or commando raids against the scene of destruction actually occur­ ring." Though Young refers to his group's actions as peaceful, he claimed that radical environmentalists have never felt the debate over treeharvesting and other environmental concerns to be non­ violent. Why is it. Young wrote in a commentary, "lhat those who enter the nation's few remaining wildlands equipped with chainsaws, bulldozers, skidders and other heavy artillery with the sole intent of decimating the last stands of old growth and precious wildlife habitat are considered to be 'productive membcrs of so­ ciety,' while those who try to prevent them, armed only with a hammer and a nail are labeled 'terrorists' with a $25,000 price on their heads?" 1 I ver, According to Young, every tree removed by clearcutting costs the taxpayers 517. Kelly said the reason for the loss is the way the Forest Service is managed. "The Forest Service, as a bureaucracy, doesn' t have many incentives to do anything other than sell timber," Kelly said. They don't get money from the campsites, but from the limber they sell. The congressmen and senators know the contractors to give the contracts to." According to SBI Enforcement Officer Baker Edmisten the paper on which the letter was written will be tested for poss'ible fingerprints. The SBI also will attempt to trace the handwriting. Members of the Transylvania County Sheriff's Department are also investigating an earlier incident where saboteurs used a bulldozer at another T&S Hardwoods clearcutting site to overturn a log skidder and push a knuckle-boom loader over the side of a ridge. Law enforcement officials reported that after damaging the other equipment, the vandals pushed a bulldozer against a pile of logs and allowed it torun, in gear, at full throttle until it dug itself into the ground and ran out of gas The congressmen and senators arc the bosses of the Forest Service, she said. "But we are the bosses of the congressmen and the senators."

"We have had some vandalism in the face on Ml. Rushmore with a sign reading 'America Says No to past, but never anything quite like this." Acid Rain.'" Pisgah National Forest(Pisgah Ranger District) District Ranger Western North Carolina Alliance member Monroe Gilmour said the spiking could stem from the efforts being made to clearcut national forest lands. Clearcutting is a form of harvcstalion in which an area is totally cleared of trees. Gilmour wrote in a "Greenway" commentary piece enli tiled Understandable, but not condoned," that while he docs not approve of tree spiking or any other violent form of protest, he docs understand the frustration of those who participated. "1 imagine that whoever did it is quite rational but is proceeding from an inappropriate set of assumptions," Gilmour wrote. "... whoever did it is no doubt overly frustrated with those who control our National Forests." BATTLE SCARS: .- '?***. mmKMS m IIPII * H ' *.v AppmJmchimm Photo hjr Jrntlle Aulry Gilmour is apparently refering to the "Cut the Clearcutting" campaign he organized last April in which WNCA members gathered 16,000petition signatures and presented them to Forest Service officials in an attempt to stop the clearcutting near Craggy Gardens. Kelly said two weeks after the petitions were presented, the Forest Service contracted with a lumber company to clearcut in the area. While Kelly said WNCA does not dispute the Forest Service in its plans to sale timber, the group does not agree with the Forest Service allowing massive clearcutting in the national forest. "Clearcutting has failed miserably," Kelly said. The Forest Service lost $5 million on clearcutting over the last two years. The letter, which is currently being analyzed by the State Bureau of Investigation, was signed "A. Leo Pold, Mountain Person. Cliff Clark, the "Transylvania Times" reporter who covered the incident, said the name A. Leo Poldmight have been used in reference to Aldo Leopold, an advocate of a wilderness ethic and a forester with the ForestService in the first half of this century. 1 Kelly said the spiking incident was probably the result of frustration on the part of persons who had become impatient with the Forest Service and the attempts to stop clearcutting in the Pisgah National Forest. In his article, Gilmour writes, "The tree spikers see 16,000 people in Western North Carolina sign a petition against clearcut­ ting and watch as the Forest Service blithely lets a contract one month later to clearcut near Craggy Gardens." According to Kelly, the clearcutting site is clearly visible from the Craggy Gardens Visitor's Center on the Blue Ridge Parkway. •This here is a notice and warning clear cutting ain't good for nobody or any living thing," die letter stated and urged those involved in timber harvesting to stop their efforts "We don't want no one to get hurt. Just leave the trees alone.. Please ston F' Or we wont. , ; According to CoordinatorMary Kelly, WNCA is a grassroots environmental organization for Asheville area citizens inter­ ested in Western North Carolina and who want to become active in the issues concerning the environment. Kelly said WNCA does not engage in radical tactics used by other organizations such as Earth First!, but makes an attempt to change environmental policies through more traditional chan­ nels such as petition drives, marches and rallies. She said that her organization is in no way linked to Earth First! and added that WNCA members do not endorse or asso­ ciate themselves with tactics used by Earth First! "We appar­ ently have a lot more patience that Earth First!," she said. An area surrounding Lake James in Mar­ ion, N.C., shows what a clearcut looks like up close. Balding mountains (left) and mending hillsides (right) remain after the land, owned by Duke Power Com­ pany, became the site of a massive clearcut several years ago. This area however, is not part of the Pisgah National Forest. Environmental activ­ ists almost succeeded in pushing this rubber tire skidder(above, center) over the side of a ridge. In the same incident, a bulldozer (left) was left running, full throttle, until it dug itself into the ground. The mon­ key wrenching was an effort to stop clearcuts, like this one near Craggy Gardens (right). XW According to Kelly, the Forest Service's 15 year plan calls for 500 miles of gated roads to bebuilt in the Pisgah National Forest, while there are no plans for new campsites. Kelly said after the Forest Service granted the clearcut con­ tract for the Craggy Gardens area, her organization filed a formal appeal with the Forest Service. As a result of the appeal, Kelly said the chief of the Forest Service told Pisgah National Forest officials to develop another alternative. The idea was selective harvcstalion, where trees to be cut are selected from an area, rather than the entire area being cleared. "We are by no means certain they will adopt a plan with less clearcutting," Kelly said. Its like someone in a canoe trying to change thecourse of the Vakiez, Kelly said of WNCA's efforts to change the direction of the Forest Service's plans for harvestation. "It takes jfiotof canoes with people paddling as as hard as they can to make a change." �Th( Appalachian. Tuesday.

Official estimates predict the county will run out of landfill space sometime within the next five years. As the cost of garbage disposal contin­ ues to mount. Public Utilities Department Administrative Assistant Ann Beardsley said the town considered the recycling project "a matter of economics." According to Beardsley, the county charges the to wn S10 for every ton dumped into the landfill. With approximately 250 tons of garbage dumped in the landfill every week, it only made sense for the town to consider another alternative, she said. of trash per year, which turns out to be approximately 8,000 tons of trash that used to be dumped into the landfill. Tak­ ing into account the dumping charge of S10 per ton, Beardsley said the costmounts up. Information circulated by the town says that at least 25 percent of the trash pro­ duced by residents is recyclable. Beardsley said the recycling effort was not designed to save the town and the taxpayers money as much as it was de­ signed to save landfill space, but added, "By saving landfill space, we're really saving ourselves money." According to Beardsley, the town will pay GDS $65,000 to pick up recyclables for processing and marketing to re-manu­ facturers. Items GDS will collect for recycling include newspapers, unbroken bottles and jars and aluminum and bi-metal beverage cans. Town officials list items which can not Officials have estimated that each Boone be recycled as: lightbulbs, window glass, resident produces approximately one ton c^rami^lass^paper other than newspa­ per, food and juicecans, single layer card­ board such as cereal boxes or egg cartons, envelopes, labels, glossy paper or mixed paper, plastics, rubber or scrap metal less than 18 thick, appliances, furniture or clothing, yard and/or kitchen wastes and motor oil. She said GDS will keep the proceeds from recycled glass, while the town will keep the proceeds from the aluminum cans. As for newspaper, Beardsley said the town is not anticipating making any profit from the recycling effort but added that by recycling the newspapers, valu­ able landfill space would be saved. Beardsley said the town had been con­ sidering a recycling program since Oct. 1988 when it was suggested that landfill alternatives be studied. The program operates like most other curbside recy­ cling projects, she said and added that presently, apartment complexes are not serviced by the GDS recycling trucks. According to Beardsley, the town has been divided into four districts where collections will be made. Each single family dwelling has been provided with a free 18-gallon household recycling bin. On the day GDS trucks collect the re­ cyclables in an individual district, resi­ dents are asked to have their bins on the curb by 7 a.m. Trucks will operate on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and will collect the trash by 5 p.m. The recycling program began last Monday at 7 a.m. as GDS trucks began their route along Cherrybrook Drive. Beardsley said that 35 percent of those who had received bins in the district participated on the first day of collections. That is a high average for the first week," she said and added that workers for GDS said Boone's participation average for the first day was higher than that in other cities for which it provides the service. Beardsley said she expects more house­ holds to participate in the project once all recycling bins are distributed. "Some houses have yet to receive bins," she said, adding that participation by households was 18 percent for the first day. According to Beardsley, the town is considering expanding the project to in­ clude plastic items. She said it is possible that the expansion could occur before the end of the summer. Eventually, Beardsley said, apartment complexes may be included in the pro­ gram, but for the time it will be limited to single family household dwellings. She said this is because the town doesn't know how to handle the volume of recyclable material collected or the way to organize collection withinthe individual complexes. "Do we give each of the apartments a bin?" Beardsley asked. "If we did that, where would they put it. Maybe they could put the bins on the curbside, but with all those bins along a curb, fat chance."

Special to The Appalachian i Does this story have a familiar ring to lis be juX&e npio O yet: irkir-i frOE m ofi Si* - vouk bine: T1 it: pre. 1 in the summer o f I was on a tour of Western states to talk-about conservation issues. As I was flying to Berkeley for a speech to students—after inspecting the Santa Bar­ bara oil spill—I read an article in "Ram­ parts magazine about how teach-ins were l n u.' A giant oil spill hits the coats of a large Western state. Millions of gallons of crude oil wash up on shore for weeks. The nation is riveted by television pictures of oilsoaked birds and dead fish floating in the ocean and washed up on shore. Oil com­ pany executives deliver excuses and claim it's a one-in-a-million disaster. Cleanup crews are dispatched, and million of dol­ lars are spent by state, federal and local governments in a cleanup and recovery program. It's not what you think. This disaster happened 20 years ago near Santa Bar­ bara, Calif. It remains one of the worst oil spills in American history. It also proved io be a catalyst in helping to awaken America's environmental consciousness. Some 16 months later, a much more sig- 'rea|y al1 s'arted whlle being used by ami-war organizers to edu­ cate the public. Suddenly it occurred to me—why not set aside a day for a nation­ wide teach-in on the environment? In September, I announced plans for Earth Day, and the response was nothing short of remarkable. The main purpose of Earth Day was to organize a nationwide, grassroots demon­ stration that would get the attention of the politicians and force environmental is­ sues into the mainstream of American political debate. It worked. Earth Day 1970 was a huge success, and an instant American legend, due in large part to the tremendous energy, commitment and grassroots activities ofcollege students all across the country. On this date in the spring of 1970 the modern American environmental move­ ment took off. Twenty million people, 2,000 colleges and universities, 10,000 grammar and high schools and 2,000 communities mobilized for the first na­ tionwide demonstrations on environmental problems. Congress adjourned for the day so members could attend Earth Day events in their districts. Sometimes it is hard to remember that 20 years ago environmental issues were notpartofthepoliticalmainstream. In the 1968 presidential campaign, for example, not a single campaignspeech was devoted to environmental concerns. Changes in the past 20 years assure that, from now on, the environmental will be an issue inevery presidential campaign. Perhaps the most important advance since Earth Day is one of attitude and understanding—the recognition, finally, that human activities have created a global env ironmental crisis that urgentlydem ands our attention. This is a giant leap forward. Plans are now being finalized for a worldwide Earth Daycelebration on April 22,1990. Let there be no doubt about the significance of this event: it will be the largest grassroots demonstration in his­ tory. The single most important objective of this 20th anniversary celebration is an international public demonstration so overwhelming that it will literally shake the political leadership of the world out of its lethargy and galvanize it into a monu­ mental cooperative effort to stop the de­ struction and begin the restoration. It is time for political leaders of every nation to recognize that, in the long haul, the stateof our environment is far more important to the condition of man on the planet that the threat of nuclear war, missile gaps, Star Wars, crime in the streets, or communism in Nicaragua. How much longer are the United States and the Soviet Union going to spend $600 billion a year for weapons that only in­ crease our mutual vulnerability and dissi­ pate our resources. It is time for the two superpowers to agree to cut spending on weapons by 50 percent in the next decade and another 50 percent in the following decade. Half of the savings should be dedicated to programs to reverse and re­ store global environmental damage. It is a plan with no losers—and the whole world is a winner. There has been some significant prog­ ress on environmental problems since that first Earth Day. Yet, merely maintaining the current programs and policies will fall far short of what is needed to prevent continued steady environmental decline. The responsibility lies with the world's younger generation. My generation does not have the lime left to do it, and, unfor­ tunately came to an appreciation of the monumental significance of the issue too late. If society is going to develop a conser­ vation ethic to guide its conduct, your generation must become the conservation generation. There is no other choice for the world. Your generation has the power to make a critical difference in the politi­ cal course of the nation and the world. The first step is to join in the celebration and activities of the 20th anniversary of Earth Day next week. Beyond that, think of the future, have vision, and make a commit­ ment to a conservation ethic in your life. Cherish the air, the water and the land that sustain you and all mankind. Seize the opportunity to make difference. Persist in your efforts; make the politicians listen— and act. You can prevail and win the fight to save the planet.

"Watauga to four pairs of eagles have been found in the eastern part of the stale, especially around Jordan Lake near Research Tri­ angle Park. The state does have a larger population of golden eagles, of which One of the greater dangers for baby eagles is the risk to exposure of the banned chemical pesticide DDT. The chemical softens the shells of the eggs and makes the eggs vulnerable to development of harmful cracks in the shells or, in its most extreme cases, premature breaking of the shell which causes the chick to die because of premature exposure. bald eagles in America. Though changes to the environment because of economic and human population growth and envi­ ronmental disasters, such as the Exxon Valdcz oil spill, have created unwanted challenges foreaglesurvival, Randall said thceaglepopulation is"holding thcirown." The bald eagle may not roam the North Carolina skies in great numbers, but three Randall said there aren't many in the mountain area, but there arc enough of the species so its survival in the area can be maintained. One of the greater dangers for baby eagles is the risk to exposureof the banned chemical pesticide DDT. The chemical softens the shells of the eggs and makes the eggs vulnerable to development of harmful cracks in the shells or, in its most extreme cases, premature breaking of the shell which causes the chick to die be­ cause of premature exposure. Because the usage of this chemical has been banned in America, Randall said that the threat of DDT to the growth of baby eagles could no longer be a problem. An example of the preventive methods used to save eagles in areas where their population has been threatened is "hack­ ing," a method in which eagles are raised far from the reach of humans to insure protection from development and wildlife enthusiasts. Sometimes the birds need to be fed by more ways than the traditional system of the mother supplying food for her young, so remote-controlled feeding systems arc used since young eagles are unfamiliar with human contact and there­ fore may not accept the food given. Ran­ dall said devices have been constructed in which the robotic device looks and can be programmed to behave like a bird. According to Randall, the feeding method described is used for feeding Peregrine falcons in the High Country, but so far has not been used on the local eagle population. Other volunteerspromoting Earth Week awareness include the Watauga Soil and Water Conservation Association, the Boone Sierra Club, Mountain People for Clean Air and the local chapter of the League of Women Voters. All of the groups met and decided on action to be taken, and the result culminated in adding some additional programs to the national Good Neighbor policies. One of the major projects local organiz­ ers hope will educate people about energy effectively is the proposed "Blackout" scheduled for Sunday, April 22. All resi­ dents arc asked to turn off their lights and appliances for a few minutes. The union of environmental associationsrequests that everyone in the area take part in the black­ out so all of theparticipants can appreciate the benefits of technology. Another goal for the blackout is to promote the conser­ vation of energy and also awareness re­ sourcefulness which can be exercised daily. The blackout is just one of the many activities planned for Earth Week. Both ASU and Boone Mall will have display stations set up during Earth Week (April 18-22) encouraging public awareness of the problems that exist. Volunteers from various groups involved with Earth Week will be on hand at these sites between 10 a.m." to 1 p.m. and from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. The volunteers in the mall will address the problems of the environment and will also distribute education flyers on various environmental topics, according to Sandy Adair of the Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League. Adair also commented that many local business and private landowners, in addi­ tion to the Avery-Watauga County Board of Realtors, received a list of Good Neigh­ bor policies. These individually focused policies request changes in thinking to­ ward a more healthful approach to living and operating businesses. The policies stress living on a more environmentally conscious level. Recycling is another of the main issues that the union of groups addresses daily _and plans to further promote during Earth a sincere interest in things and wants ASU to be the example for other universities in the state and the Southeast to follow." Students can call a newly started ASU Recycling Hotline at 262-3190 and the campus recycling center will make ar­ rangements to go to any residence hall or office building on campus and pick up any items that can be recycled. Students and faculty alike can also take advantage of the recycling bins placed in student and staff buildings. Any paper products can be disposed of in the bins and be taken to the ASU Recycling Center. The groups presented some statistics thatprovethebenefitsofrecycling. Since the Recycling Center opened this past September, the university has recycled over 21 tons of paper. Each ton of paper recycled saves 17 trees. The number of aluminum cans that annually go through vending machines across campus amounts to between 450,000 to 500,000. If one can is recycled for further use, 95 percent of the energy used to create a new can "from scratch" is saved. With these statistics in mind, the groups united in promotion of Earth Week said they hope people begin to change their thoughts about trash dis­ posal and energy usage. Food service industries around Boone are also targeted for changing their trash habits. ASU Food Services was targeted along with private fast food chains such as McDonald's, Hardee's and Long John Silver's to implement safer standards for food production. The university's food services company is presently research­ ing possibilities for recycling styrofoam containers and also purchasing plates and napkins which are produced from previ­ ously recycled paper. McDonald's also said they have implemented a worldwide effort to usemore products with the ability to be recycled. Taking care of the environment is a primary mission of all the local organiza­ tions involved in Earth Week, but the group also asserted that responsibility for the environment's maintenance and growth should be upheld by everyone in the community. �The Appalachian. Tuesda\. April 10. 1990 Clubs donft let pollution go up the creek By SHAWN O'NEAL Appalachian Et Cetera Editor CfeeuS [lm throu8h the Boone •irea, one of which is known by the locals as raut Creek. The name might not ring lanuhar with many ASU students, but the creek runs through the heart of campus a <mg Rivers Street. Because the creek is located in an area prone to be covered by r and polluted by the Physical Plant, a great amount of trash accumulates in the creekbed and clogs the creek's flow. In the spirit of both the upcoming Earth Week and the present university declared car of the Environment," the Appalaihian Geological Society, in cooperation with the Highland Biology Club and the Appalachian Chemistry Society, joined Stream Watch, a volunteer organization monitored by the North Carolina Division of Water Resources. Geological Society I resident Paul Dahlen said his organiza­ tion became involved because the pollu­ tion in the creek was immediately visible. Joining Stream Watch was a simple process, according to Dahlen. When a request to join Stream Watch reaches the Division of Water Resources, the organi­ zation in turn sends a "stream adoption proposal" to the requester. Kraut Creek runs by Rankin Science Building, so be­ cause of familiarity with the stream, the combined organizations chose to clean it and monitor the water and the environ­ ment around the creekbed. I he first step taken after receiving approval from the division of Water Re­ sources was cleaning the trash in and around the creek. The clean-up took place on the afternoon of March 25. Fifteen people showed up for the task at hand, and, after three and a half hours of what Dahlen called "very hard work," the clubs tilled 51 large garbage bags with trash. Six additional bags were filled with recy­ clable aluminum cans while six other bags were filled with recyclable glass bottles. One of the most notable participants in the cleanup was ASU Chancellor John 1 homas. Dahlen said: "As a friendly gesture, (the clubs involved in the project) invucd Dr. Thomas to take part in the c leanup, and when he accepted, it was a happy surprise. He came out of concern and was very involved throughout the afternoon. One of the sights that the chancellor noticed in conjunction with the stream watchers were the numberof pipes that dumped presumed chemicals from buildings such as the Physical Plant and ASU Laundry Services. Dahlen said he was impressed by the chancellor's desire to help not just clean the creek that day, but to also insure the future protection of the creek and the growth of its wildlife. When a group becomes a stream watcher, the object is to be a long-term Dahlen said the long-termcommitment that Stream Watch stresses will be no problem for future members of those organizations. "We plan to add the main­ tenance of Kraut Creek into our organization's constitution." Dahlen said. He said he hoped the policy of maintain­ ing the cleanliness of Kraut Creek would carry on even after the students involved today in the participating organizations leave the university. monitor of the environment and not a quick-fixer by justcleaning up the creek area once. In the next few years, the Biology Club will monitor the plant and animal life in the stream. Erosion around the creekbed, along with the creek's sedi­ ment load will be monitored bv the Geo­ logical Society. All the chemical anal vscs and such studies as the creek's "atomic absorption will be carried out by the Chemistry Society. »''OONl: C etSlkrv U v H * IsfStfr-z •• t.

April in 1990 Clean roads are an easy sight By LAURA O'NEAL ApisiUchten Staff Writer For many organizations around Boone, one road to community service is literally taking care of a road. Through the state­ wide Adopt- A-Highway program, groups from both the Appalachian campus and from around Boone are giving their best efforts to keep the High Country beauti­ ful. A group that applies to become a member of the program is provided with both publicity and equipment. The state provides safety vests, trash bags, and trash collection for the clean-up activities. In return for their service, the organizations receive publicity from special Adopt-AHigh way signs located on the roadside of their delegated areas. Currently 122.2 miles of road in V\ atauga County are being maintained The "adoption"program was created in through the Adopt-A-Highway program. early 1988 by the state of North Carolina About 54 groups participate in the pro­ as a way to encourage community in gram in Watauga County. volvement,"according to Roger W.

Although this year has not truly been a year of the environment ,t hasproven to be a year ol environmental concern. In a university characterized by some as Apathetic State." concerned students, faculty and staff are voicine their concerns. ' It is disappointing to see how this outpouring of opinion is viewed bv some maker or as a concerned citizen? Regardless of how these opinions are It is obvious why so many are upset over the proposed construction of the student activities center, and the current construction of the new food service What good will all your construction have done if it leads to the destruction of all who might eventually enjoy it. Is it more important that you enjov it? What good is progress if there is no one left to benefit from it? If a smart person were planning to drastically increase the physical presence of a mid-sized university dedicated to preserving its quaint atmosphere, that person would have to divert critics of such plans. John Thomas is just such a person. In a year when ASU has seen the near-completion of a new business building, the beginning of a new food service facility and the planning of a new student activi­ ties center and numerous parking decks, a public rela­ tions ploy was desperately needed on which the public could concentrate. Thus, the "Year of the Environment" was proclaimed with much verbal diarrhea and little substance. While conservationists were wondering how best to make the recycling center work, ASU administrators c losed off Duck Pond Field—one of the few places where students could enjoy the outdoors on campus. A fence adorned with menacing warning signs enclosed the field, which is destined to be smothered with another mono­ lithic refectory—or should I say "regurgitory?" To further insult nature and students alike, all of the trees on that side of the Duck Pond were leveled. The once-attractive place where students could go to enjoy ASU's scenic environment has become a dirt pit where only workmen care to spend time. as negative.

At face value, this shady gesture seems benificent on your pari, but more careful thought begins to reveal the truth. Maybe ASU will name one of your creations after you. Or maybe ASU will have to tear down one of your buildings to make space for a cemetery for all those who you helped destroy.

It issimply matters of priorities and timing. At a time when the university is in desperate need of more fcsroom and library space, the university wants to allocate approximately I mi,li0n ln student fees toward what amounts to little more than a glorified Basketball court. It's wrong to subject innocents to poison The primary argument by SAC supporters is that the state will only appropriate the S9 million-plus to the SAC. The problem with this line of reasoning is that the S14 million to be extorted from the student body could conceivably, be used for many things. At a time when the administration is constantly reiterating ASU's mission as a comprehensive university where teaching is valued, it does not seem appropriate that the academic departments have had to resort to "fightingover space allotments. One questions of recent interest is "Would the students have protested for environment if classroom space was the proposed construction, instead of [teSAC1" It seems apparent that some would still have protested. Others, nowever, might have opted not to protest since the construction would have wn for something more worthwhile. If the university is determined to age the environment, it should at least be for something academically oriented. Perhaps the most frustrating aspect of all the aforementioned concerns is "W the administration does not seem to care what anyone thinks. The attitude y12' seems to emit from the administration is that they have already decided the tare of the university, and any argument to the contrary is in vain. If ASU has en to a level where only the opinions of the administration matter, then this university has truly failed in its mission. By HOPE HARVEY Special to The Appalachian Riding back from Hartford, Tenn., a few weeks ago, I had a sickening feeling that our local and national governments w ere more corrupt than I had ever imag­ ined. I visited the area of the Pigeon River that stretches from above Champion Inter­ national in Canton, N.C., to the small town of Hartford right across the North Carolina-Tennessee border. The Pigeon is a not-so-lazy body of greenish-blue w atcr and clear white rapids before it hits the monstrous paper plant. Below Cham­ pion, the river is black with yellowish rapids. It doesn't take a large IQ to tell that something is just not right here! This gross pollution of one of our area's nicest rivers is no new problem. The plant is nearly 90 years old, and, according to Margaret Jenkins who has lived in the area all of her 82 years, no one can remember if the river has ever been clean. If you need to know w hat has happened to cause this big mess, read Jon Jimison and Eric Miller's article in this issue. What I am concerned w ith is w hat is being done about this as well as other serious en­ vironmental disasters. A gentleman named Gay Webb lives right outside of Hartford. He and a few concerned citizens in the area got together and formed the Dead Pigeon River Coun­ cil. They all knew how serious the prob­ lem was way before they grouped to­ gether, but, they had only expressed their disgust as individuals. During an inter­ view, Mr. Webb stressed how important it is for people to group together if they want to succeed at their goals. He kept telling us that w e are the future and we are Mother Earth's only hope. He stressed the power in organization. There is power in organization. The individual can sigh as the next beach is covered with oil. The organization can write state and national legislators and call for tougher regulations on the trans­ port of oil and higher fines for such dam­ ages. The individual can look on in dis­ gust as another 1,000 acres of rain forest are destroyed and former family farm­ lands are sprayed with various pesticides by their new corporate owners. The or­ ganization can boycott these giant mo­ nopolies who believe they are untouch­ able and that their product means more than Mother Earth to the people. 1 here is no excuse iui iuuhui^ cm u, dismay when there exist numerous or­ ganizations which you can join. Figure out what you feel the strongest about and tind out what type of organizations ad­ dress the problem. We can all help with problems that affect the whole world by supporting such organizations as Green­ peace and Conservation International. On a state and local level, we have Friends of Grandfather and the Blue Ridge Environ­ mental Defense Fund. These are merely samples of w hat is out there. Oh. by the way, forget the Environmental Protection Agency. As a puppet of our national government, thev continue to issue per­ mits to industries so they can excede emisson and environmental standards. Mother Earth has given us so very, verymuch. We get our food, the substance of life, from her. We paved our roads on her that take us to work or school each dav. She has given unselfishly, and now it is pay back time. Earth Week will be ob­ served next week, and many people na­ tionwide will take part in the events that have been arranged by numerous environ­ mental organizations. We should all make sure that our involvement does not stop there. t It is our decision, folks. The govern­ ment will not take the lead until the people demand that something be done. We can keep on raping Mother Earth and leave a barren, destitute land for our children and grandchildren, or we can all pull together and give unselfishly to the one who has already given us much too much. The SAC is just what ASU needs By JEFF TURNER Appalachian Sports Editor The new Seby Jones Student Activity Center has caused a S24 million debate, so I decided to give my two cents worth regarding the issue. The SAC is something ASU needs for many reasons. According to many people, the first reason is political. The N.C Legislature is offering us S9.75 million to help us build this new facility. Although that is not the entire amount, it is a large poruon—especially since Jones has al­ ready donated a sizeable sum to have his named placed on it. Even though student foes will be raised, this is not the only way money will be received. The alumni of­ fice is try ing to get alumni to donate a large sum of the money. The future is looking bright for the ASL campus. Enrollment is up. and the students coming to Boone are of higher quality than ever before. Let's be honest here; ASU enrollment will not remain at 11,500 students for long. If. by chance, the Mountaineers got in the NIT and recieved a first round game our entire student body couldnot go to the game, much less any faculty or alumni This year the Lady Mountaineers w ent to jh£_NCAA tournament. I am sure the NCAA Committee would laugh at ASU if it proposed to host a game in such a small facility. Remember, the women's final four was in a larger arena than the men's. A strong university is made up of not only good students, faculty and adminstrators, but also strong alumni. It seems like everyone has had a chance to voice their opinion but the alumni. I talked to many who said they w ould notcome back to a basketball game because of the poor facility. For your information, the Alumni Council voted in favor of the new SAC Now for fun let's look at the other seven schools in the Southern Confer­ ence. V> ith The Citadel moving back into their newly remodelled facility, ASUnow has the worst place to play basketball in the conference. Not that it really matters for the outcome of games, but what about recruiting? A player has narrowed his choices between WCU and ASU. He likes both schools academically, and both coaches he respects equally. What else will he l°ok at? WCU plays in a state of the art facility while ASU plays in a run-down gym. This may sound far-fetched, but one of the top recruits in high school this year See SAC pg. 12 5 �.The Appalachian. Tuesda\. April 10. IQQt) SAC Continued from pg. l ] decided on what college to go to based on how far his three choices went in the NCAA Tournament. He chose North Carolina. By building this facility, big names will arrive on campus. Many bands will not play unless there is certain amount of people, which Varsity Gym will not hold. And not only bands, but also basketball teams will come. WCU played Kansas and almost beat them the year Kansas won the national championship. WCU also plays N.C. State on a home-andhome series, something State will never do with us unless we build a new place to PlayOne of the biggest arguments people have is that the Town of Boone does not want it. Well, if the town is so against it, why did the Boone Town Council and the Boone Chamber of Commerence both vote in favor of the building of the SAC? They are in favor of it for many reasons, the most obvious being money. If ASU plays UNLV, a lot of people will come to BOONE CLEANERS see the game. People would need a place to stay and eat, which means more money for the town of Boone. How do the students feel? Well, look how the SGA Senate voted. This gives an idea of how the students voted, because the students voted in their fellow students to represent them. The SGA voted in favor of the new SAC, so I guess the students are in favor of it. If thev are not, they do not deserve to voice theiropinion, because they had the opportunity to exer­ cise their right to vote. The SAC will not only provide a new place for concerts and basketball games. It will also free up space for the intramurals games, and, for the HEPELS depart­ ment, it will give more classroom space. I am sure the HEPELS would love to have all of the office space now occupied by athletic coaches and staff. Another good reason for the SAC is if the Charoltte Hornets keep coming back up to Boone for their training camp, I am sure they will want to play on a good floor. Varsity Gym has several dead spots, which means if you dribble the ball on •5% discount with ID •$10 free dry cleaning drawing every Friday (thru April 13) •next day service available Southgate II that spot it doesnot come back straight up or with as much power. S tate of the art is what everyone seems to want today. With the business build­ ing, we have a state-of-the-art academic building. With the new student union we will have a state-of-the-art student sup­ port facility. With the west side food fa­ cility we will have state-of-the-artdining. Doesn't the athletic department deserve something that is state-of-the-art? Finally, I would like to say that the SAC is a good idea. For all the people saying they spend all this time up in those woods, I beg to disagree with them. Last year I had a class that used those woods, and not once did I see anyone there who was not a classmate. Let's come back to the actuality that this is the real world and look at one last fact: even after the new SAC is built, there will still be woods up there for people to play in, so what's the real reasoning against it? Opposing arguments are not working. You don't have another one? Well too bad—let's break ground today. Where's my shovel!

April JO. 1990 12 Professor gives ASU its environmental report card DR. By DR. HOWARD S. NEUFELD NEUFELD IliolfMiv Department , Biology Special to the Appalachian I have been asked by "The Appala­ chian" to provide my opinion on the state of the environment here at ASU. This is of course a very subjective task, and not all will agree with my assessments. A more objective study is being considered by the ad hoc Environmental Issues Committee on campus. More about that later. I have decided to rate various campus issues based primarily on their impact on the local.environment. I give each issue a grade, and then sum them up at the end to obtain an overall grade for the university. Let's consider the major environmental impacts in the last few years. Thecovering up and channelization of Kraut Creek The university lost an opportunity to pro­ vide the campus with an aesthetically pleasing greenway when it covered the creek. The town of Boone did the same. To most of us, it is a ditch with water and (rash rather than a beautiful mountain creek j surrounded by meadow and park. On the positive side, the long-range plan for the university calls for the resurrection of the creek, with green space included. I rate ihis an F, but raise the grade to a D based on future plans. • Building on the flood plain was simply j not smart. The gym, Rankin Science and Edwin Duncan buildings, along with Security, are all in the 100-year flood plain. Fortunately, the state now prohibits any new, permanent structures on flood plains. This also gets a D. I The physical plant is the major polluter of the air in the northeast mountains of North Carolina. When it was built, it was in compliance with EPA standards. But „ 1"^ r SnortiV aftPrwarHc shortly afterwards, A • the Clean Air Act was Pa- sed and the plant fell out of complince. In addmon, personnel at the plant "scd todump waste water into Kraut creek. ey were fined last year after they killed thousands of fish downstream.) They now pump the water into the sewer, rather than the creek. The university is doing what it can to limit the pollution by burning lowsulfur fuel, but the only way it can come into compliance is by installing scrubbers on the stacks. This will cost nearly Si million, and unless our legislature comes up with the monies.it will not happen To illustrate the university's concern with the pollution. Dr. Thomas has emphatically stated that no new coal-buming stacks V". ' come on line unless first equipped with scrubbers. This gets an F, butis raised to af) based on future plans. The parking lot behind Broyhill is one of the major environmental disasters on this campus. Runoff is funneled primarily into what used to be pristine-cove, hard­ wood forest. The silt dam and holding pond as originally designed could not even contain a one-half-inch rainfall! After the first rain event, the dam broke, and it has never been adequately repaired. Trash can now be seen hundreds of feet down slope, and severe erosion has washed away topsoil that took decades to accumulate. It is questionable if this construction is in compliance with state standards for ero­ sion control. In addition to the erosion problem, the lot is an eyesore from an aesthetic standpoint. Further, the justifi­ cation for building it seems weak at best. I have never seen it more than one-third full. How to fix the erosion problem is one of the university's tougher assignments. A flat F grade. APPLETREE APTS. Both the parking lot and expansion of the Broyhill Center took land away from the the environmental study area on cam­ pus. Because the university has nowhere else to expand, this area is slated for much of the university's futureexpansion. While regrettable, one must be pragmatic; there are no other affordable alternatives. I find fault with the university for not moving sooner, or having the vision to see that the study area would have to be replaced, once the long-range plans were made known. At least now they are looking for one within 20 minutes of campus, and, we are told, at least three times the size of the present one. With prodding from the biol­ ogy department, the planners have agreed to maintain about 20 acres of the original study area in its present natural state. Unfortunately, this is precisely the forest suffering from the erosion of the Broyhill parking lot! An F, but raised to a C for future plans. The parking lot on Rivers Street next to Justice Residence Hall is an example of development done right. The large trees were left intact, and the lot was graded in such a way as to be almost hidden from view. While none of us like parking lots, at least this one is not very objectionable. The large parking lot below the stadium is an example of what not to do when build­ ing parking lots: no trees, tremendous runoff. It is scheduled to become a parking deck sometime in the future.

If one gives all the issues above the same weighting, the University's CPA comes out to be a 2.0, or C grade. It should be noted though that many of the environ­ mental problems that need to be corrected require funding by the legislature Be­ cause they are reluctant to fund environ­ mentally oriented projects, I give our leg islators a D- - when it comes to environ­ mental issues. As an educator, and as a former student, I am never satisfied with a grade of C. This represents only average achievement. As an institutionof higher learning, weshould be setting outstanding examples for soci­ ety, not mediocre ones. But regrettably, as a public institution, we suffer from the whims of the state's economy, as well as those of legislators with limited vision concerning higher education. As a result, while we may want to charge ahead on environmental issues, we are handcuffed by inadequate funding. Our task is to do as much as possible within the fiscal con­ straints that all state-funded institutions must operate under. At the same time, I find it commendable that the students themselves have organ­ ized in support of environmental issues (Students Actively Volunteering for the Environment). Together, the faculty, stu­ dents and staff can work to improve the environment here at ASU and, in some small measure, the environment of the world at large. Individually, we may have but a small impact, but together, we can exert a large influence on the quality of life for all of us.

The goal of litis program is to serve as a clearing house and informa- tion provider for those concerned with environmental change. This is its first year, and many of us hope it w ill become successful enough to stand on its own. There is also money within the College of Arts and Sciences to sponsor speakers on environmental issues, and Dr. Durham has committed S2.000 per year for proj­ ects on environmental issues.

The university has sponsored, during the past year, symposia and talks on vari­ ous environmental issues, ranging from species extinctions, to groundw ater qual­ ity, to air pollution effects on plants. These were all organized under the aegis of the Earth Day Committee, chaired by Dr. Melissa Barth of the English department. The activities will come to fruition during Earth Week, with more speakers and ac­ tivities. I believe the activities of this committee and its successor, the Environ­ mental Issues Committee, have enlight­ ened the ASU community to variousenvi­ ronmental concerns.

Yes, it takes more land away from the study area, but what really concerns me is that the administration is so adamantabout grading and destroying almost 18 acres for this building! Only a three-acre foot­ print for the building, but nearly 15 acres of parking lots!

The university currently uses Exxon credit cards for its motor vehicles, and some havesuggested switching to another brand in light of Exxon's apparent indif­ ference concerning the Valdez oil spill. I would advocate, instead, providing cards from several different oil companies so that individuals could make the choice of whether to boycott Exxon products. Coer­ cion is not my choice of tactics. This is currently under study by several faculty. No grade yet. The recycling program is perhaps the best environmental issue that this univer­ sity has to offer. It is currently saving tons of trash being sent to the landfill, and has been organized in an exemplary manner. Its only faults: failure to take all types of metal cans, newspaper, and especially plastics. Hopefully, plastic recycling will come this summer.

I would have been more than willing to sacrifice the view of the Duck Pond from the restaurant in order to keep the trees that made the view from the street so beautiful. I'm not necessarily against cutting down trees in order to build what is needed, but to me it seems senseless to destroy such a beautiful area for so little advantage, especially when the beauty of the area could have been so easily spared—with absolutely no effect on the functionality of the facility. To the Editor: There has been a lot of controversy over the growth that has taken place at ASU over the last few months (years, really). One example that has been particularly upsetting to me is the construction of the west campus dining facility.

I attended the SGA meeting discuss­ ing a resolution reaffirming the decision to construct the SAC. It was obvious during the question session, after Steven Schmotzer introduced the resolution and his obvious approval of the center, that many senators did not have all the information that I would think would be needed to make a fair and appropriate vote representing their constituents. Steven Schmotzer said he had taken a simple survey of over 400 students representing a cross section of the university, and that 75 percent favored the SAC. Yet a group in opposition to the SAC had gathered over 1,700 signatures of students against the proposed building. Now doesn't this make vou wonder?

It has become emotional to the point that many people perceive a label to be placed upon themselves according to the choice they are making regarding the issue. It is a situation which has become tiresome and frustrating for many people, but it still deserves attention, for it reveals much about the priorities of this university. Cober : 5ECf One thing that must be considered in this dispute is the environmental studies area that will be destroyed by the SAC. Anyone who has been back there knows how peaceful and beautiful it was before development" began taking place. Now a section of trail has been bulldozed, and a long line of trees has been cut down. Runoff from the very underused South parking lot has been ineffectually handled to create what can only be described as an ugl>'. wasteful mess of sediment and trash. All of this surely interferes with environ­ mental study, even before the ground has been broken for the SAC. As one biology professor noted at the open forum held last month, the university should have procured a new study area before development began taking place.

Well, I would like to meet the altruistic soul who is willing to give us 50 or so acres of woodland in an area where undeveloped property rates are so expen­ sive. If you are out there, I commend you and appreciate your generosity. Meanwhile, what are the departments w ho use this area supposed to do to con­ tinue their study? At a time when Chan­ cellor Thomas is so boldly declaring his commitment to education, I find this to be extremely hypocritical. Some of the best and most meaningful learning goes on during field study and observation. Inter­ fering with the opportunity to do thischeats students out of a quality education. Another thing I am concerned about is the flippancy with which Thomas and the administration are treating the views of those against the SAC. They are forgoing ahead with this project regardless of the significant opposition to it. (I realize there are those out there who assume the oppo­ sition to be insignificant, but I consider the number of thesepeople and thededication with which they act to be very significant.) The administration is treating students like children who do not know what is good for them. There is not even room for compromise. At the forum last month, Dr. Ed Tumer proposed some viable alternatives to the showplace that is to be developed. When I asked the panel whether they would consider acompromise, I received a vague answer (about a parking lot being recon­ sidered) that belittled the purpose of the question. A young woman at the forum expressed her support for the SAC by saying that our degrees would not mean anything in the future if ASU does not grow. But the value of a college degree does not depend on the buildings. It depends on the opportunities students are able to take advantage of while in school. It depends on what stu­ dents are able to do with the education they receive. My degree will mean a lot more to me coming from a university that really cares about the educational needs of its students instead of the ornamenta­ tion of its campus. ASU should use the student money that will be used to build the SAC to help this school grow in quality, not quantity. It is the responsibility of the administration to ensure quality growth and take care of desperately needed educational facilities and improvement$first. Beingblinded by a 512 million offer to build an impressive showplace is a sad reflection of their true priorities. �Year of the Environment? • i Duck Pond Field 1975-1990 ... . ; •' • -• • � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Students will also be able to use their Appalachian Express accounts for payment in the new machines at that time. According to the Director of Food Services Ron Dubberly, the decision to purchase toe vending machines came after food services began administering the current contract. Dubberly said there were many problemsdealing with a third party, which led him to suggest that Food Services handle the project. I feel that we can do a much better job with quickerresponse to problems and better service, Dubberly said. "Our one goal is to improve the service and the frequency of service at the machines." While speaking of the advantages of Food Services operating the machines, Dubberly said, "We're local, we are already in the food business, we know what students like, and we will have an all around quicker response time (fixing the machines)." He also added that the main advantage of Food Services operating toe machines would be for ASU students, explaining that food would be restocked more quickly and the additional methods of payment increased the convenience for students. Linda Stansbury, assistant vice chancellor for auxiliary operations, said Food Services is working toward allowing students "not to have to carry cash."She said by accepting Express accounts in the vending machines, it will be more convenient for students.

Zimmerman's decision "should be forthcoming," Stansbury stated. She said "I expect that he (Zimmerman) will be responding to the proposal before the students leave campus (for Christmas break)."

Ghent said before the proposal was passed he gave the senate three options: table the fee increase, meaning do more research into the needs of an increase; do a line-by-line discussion and vote on each increase; or accept or reject the entire proposal. According to Ghent, "A motion was made to accept the increase and it passed." By LARRY LOUGHTERY Appalachian Staff Writer Peace on Earth,good will towards men, and beware of burglars. Incongruous, perhaps, but realistic. The holidays are characterized by excess in all endeavors. We eat and drink more, we spend more money and travel longer distances. We attend social functions quite frequently. Burglars know that homes and apartments will yield would-be Christmas gifts, and that the prospective "Santas" will be away often and for longer periods of time. Better opportunities and bigger scores result in a rash of burglaries nationwide during tocChristmashrtlidays.andBoone is no exception. Boone Sheriff "Red" Lyons will have his force more actively patrolling during this holiday season. "Christmas usually gives us our biggest problem," he said, We have to really stay on our toes and do a lot of property checking.'' The Boone Police have been imple­ menting a system for toe past two years that has proven helpful in detection and determent of burglaries. Lyons was reluc­ tant to discuss the nature of the system. However, he expressed confidence in it, citing that it involved a cooperation with the Community Watch organizations (there are 64 in Watauga County) which are highly effective. Lyons also encour­ aged citizens to report anything suspi­ cious. f Landlords of apartment complexes are also an important link to protefet against burglaries-1.yons sees apartment security patrols as an essential complement to the police effort. PSI properties, for example, number close to 50. Obviously, the Boone police need to be augmented by the PSI patrol­ man, whose duties will change from monitoring Occupants to maintaining a parrol of the properties. "He should schedule his time so he can get out there and check on things," Lyons said. Apartment dwellers and homeowners alike need to be security minded as well. Arranging to have paper delivery discontinucd during absences, having a neighbor collect mail and leaving a light on can stop a burglar from receiving the impression you are not at home. Electrical timers are especially intimi­ dating to burglars, particularly when placed in a room they cannot see into and setfor random times. Setting televisions and stereos on such timers or simply leaving them on While away for shorter periods, also makes burglars pause. Given ihfi nature of burglary, it is evi­ dent that burglars will prefer the house or apartment thatappcars to have been vacant for some tiftic and is not monitored by police or neighbors instead of one that appears to be inhabited and monitored. Most victims of burglary fail to give the latter impression. Burglary victims cite a loss of not only their valuables, but their sense of security. Often the material loss is dwarfed by what can apermancnt feeling of having one's privacy shattered and home violated. Lyons said burglary tar­ gets were prcdominatly single-family homes, but stressed that during the holi­ days everyone should be security minded. Some new items included in the 16 cold-food machines located mostly in residence halls are hot dogs, different types of milk, bagels with cream cheese, fruit, deli sandwiches, salads and yogurt, according to Dubberly. He also said the items to be stocked in the machines were selected after talking to students in the Market and by monitoring popular items sold there. While Dubberly said the machines would not be available at all vending machine locations, he said that if there is positive feedback to the new machines, additional machines will be purchased. Dubberly said the prices at the machines will remain the same, but he stated, "After operating (the machines), we'll know if the prices should go down or up." By operating the vending machines, "we hope to generate revenue that we can use to hold our food prices down," Dubberly stated.

SS 19T91 f" available thr0U8h C»"^e Founda^ gh" rT f°P on KALhlGH—College Foundation Inc. announced this week that educational loan funds are still available for the 1990-91 academic year. CFI has financial commitments; from North Carolina banks to cover its current estimates on loan *or funding its three educational loan programs for 1990-91. Stafford Loans for Students are for dependent or independent students and are Ghent added, 'I was disappointed more students didn'tshow interest. Many com­ plain, but no one does anything about it" Ghent explained that students do have a voice in the process. Last year the admin­ istration wanted an increase in parking fees. The students protested and the ASU Board of Trustees didn't approve the $40 increase. The only argument against the pro­ posed increase was that each increase should be evaluated and that each merit anylisis. That is what was done the last two years," Ghent said. Ghent said he thought the increase passed so quickly because, Blinding and Zimmerman went so in depth on each increase and why they were needed. The senate was satisfied with the proposal. That's just a hunch." Funding emergencies have crippled states across the country and have forced a number of campuses to impose unusual tuition hikes. Massachusetts students will take the biggest hit, paying as much as $625 more for spring semester at most of the commonwealth's public campuses. The price hikes in Massachusetts were emergency measures, maintains Peter Chisholm of the state's board of regents. Over the last three years, he said, state funding for higher education there has dropped by $160-5170 million. This year across-the-board cuts, coupled with bud­ get revisions, have left the state's 29 cam­ puses with a $50 million shortfall. In New York, California and Virgina, students at some campuses will pay more this spring in the form of emergency fees, tuition increases or special "user" fees for anything from health care to the right to use computer labs. Students at the State University of New York system may have to pay $50-$100 more next semester. The tuition hikewould help offset an anticipated cut in funds as the state tries to reduce spending to close a growing budget gap. This is one of the most dire years on record in terms of state funding of higher education. States will spend S40.8 billion in 1990-91, 11.6 percent more than they did twoyearsago. Many state legislatures, hurt by slowing sales tax revenues, lower than-expected income tax receipts and slow economic gro wth, don'thaveasmuch money to allocate as they had anticipated. The rate of increase in state support for higher education is at a 30-year low, ac­ cording to a mid-October study by the Center for Higher Education at Illinois State University. _ PlLM * 4 ' C0UnC)l Dec. 6 7:00&9:30 p.m. $1 D©C.?i 'Ernest Saves Chil B I !

All that happens, moreover, as the prices undents pay for college continue to rise.

Strong student unions organized at French universities have penetrated high schools at the upper levels, where stu­ dents as old as 19 may still be taking courses, Thibault said. In France "there is little leeway for students to express themselves,"Thibault added. So (their frustration) explodes." Levine expects a similar explosion to come from American students in the next few years. It s already started," Levine said, noting that students at many colleges are taking up both international and campus issues. Levine sees campus activism increas­ ing every decade and a half, preceded by increased volunteerism. THE COBBLER SHOP SELLS...

Senior Wally White, this year's production man­ ager, explained the "New Playwright's Festival" is entirely written, directed, acted and produced by ASU students, allowing the cast and crew to work with completely new material. "Fairy Tales," written by Paula Holder, is the true story of murderess Elizabeth Bathory, played by Maria Smith, and a life much different than that of any fairy tale most people have ever heard before.

The butler is played by Andrew Lakin. Becoming lost in confusion, the scene turns into hysterical chaos. The players are full of subtle, witty lines ensuring lots of laughter from the audience. Director Laura Lee Everett said the play was enjoyable to direct because she had nothing to go by. Everett said that working on a premier play was a valuable directing experience. Writer Mark Blackmon said, "A lot of bigger plays in bigger theaters have their genesis right here in playwright's festivals or staged readings and in small productions." Performances begin at 8 pjn. with the first play lasting about 15 minutes, the second one 20 min­ utes and the final one act play running about 35 minutes. Tickets cost SI and can be purchased at the theatre and dance box office in Room 134 in Chapell Wilson. For reservations and more infor­ mation, call 262-3028. Costner film to be classic By PALL FEETWOOD Appalachian Staff Writer On occasions, the craft of filmaking is distorted and abused by filmakers who present movies with a mindless nature and little social value. These movies are produced with no purpose or good reason in mind. . But, every once in a while a film will emerge with special intentions and stand boldly in front of other realeases and remind us of the exhilerating and beautiful powers a motion picture can hold which makes venturing out to the theaters a worthwhile experience.

The concert is free and open to the public. Music selections to be performed by the Uni­ versity Singers include "A Jubilant Song," from the movie "Empire of the Sun" featuring soprano soloist Noelle Kitchin, and "Te Deum" featuring soprano Marci Orr, tenor Scot Cameron and bari­ tone Kevin Strother. This ancient Latin hymn in­ cludes accompaniment by organist and professor Dr. Max Smith, student trumpeters Chris Brown, Jason Gnau and Ron Moore and trombonists Ken Davis and Robert Farrar. Daniel Pumphrey, director of the Appalachian Guitar Ensemble, will accompany the singers on guitar during "The Angel Gabriel," "Lullay, Litel Child" and "Come, Love We God." Other professors accompanying the choir in­ clude Dr. Julia Pedigo, a soprano who will be the featured soloist in "Wiiher's Rocking Hymn" and Dr. Joseph Amaya, a baritone who is featured in "Love Bade Me Welcome." AS U's Chamber Singers willgive the Uni vers ity Singers a short break and perform selections from the Madrigal Feaste including "Hark the Herald Angels Sing," "There is a Flower," "Come Happy Shepherds," and the Welsh lullaby, "Now Let Us All." The Chamber Singers, with 16 members, is a small voice ensemble that performs more intimate music. Jones said he thinks of them as more of a living room entertainment group, while the Uni­ versity Singers is a concert entertainment group. With 58 members, the backbone of University Singers is composed of music majors while about 30 percent are non-music majors. They perform choral masterworks which "You would only want to hear with a large choir," Jones said. University Singers has been an ensemble at ASU for over 30 years.

Once they recaptured the lead, the Mountaineers trailed just once in the final 12 minutes of play. The Bobcat one-point edge came when Dave Moritz broke to the basket and accepted the inbounds pass for an easy lay-up. Twelve seconds later, Nedd caught a touchdown style pass near midcourt and dished to Spurlock for a slam, giving ASU a 68-67 advantage and closing the door on any future Bobcat challenges. 1-2. Senior Jevon Morris paced the Apps, going 4-0 and finishing first in the tourna­ ment in his weight class of 126 pounds, Other Appalachian State individual re­ sults included Jeff Wheeler in the 118pound class, who went 1-0 before having to withdraw from the tourney due to an injury. Meanwhile, 134-pound Scott Beachum went 0-2, while Adrian Hines went 3-1 and captured second place in the 150-pound class. Jonathon Blais went 22 in the 158-pound class and 167-pound B ill Baker recorded a mark of 3-2 en route to a fifth place individual finish. Chris Sanders went2-l and tooksecond place in the 177-pound category. John Reynolds captured third in the 190-pound division, boasting a 3-1 mark. Mark Barker posted a 1-2 record in the heavyweight class. Head Coach Paul Mance was pleased with his team's overall performance stat­ ing, "We did pretty well, considering we basically only had five of our regular starters there." The Mountaineers' lead grew steadily, peaking at 20 when freshman Jason Lutz laid it in at the buzzer, breaking the cen­ tury mark and giving ASU the 101-81 victory. Three Bobcats finished the night in double figures with Johnny Mack tallying 19; Allen Lightfoot, 18; and Bob Holker, who went eight of eight from the field, 17.

Mance also pointed out that even with the Apps' lack of starting experience, Appalachian State was only two points shy of finishing in second place overall. The Mountaineers finished with 78 points while California State-Pennsylvania fin­ ished with 80. Ohio's KentState took first in the tourney. "We didn't do too bad considering the circumstances and where we're at right now. . . we did well against some really tough schools from New York," Mance said. One noticeable absence from the Mountaineer lineup was junior Corey Creech, who left Boone Sunday for active military duly along with his National Guard division. The 1989-90 season saw Creech finish with an overall record of 217 in the 158-pound class. Due to the sud­ den announcement of the loss of Creech for the season, sophomore Blais was pressed into the starting roll. Blais saw very limited action in his freshman sea­ son, posting an 0-2 overall record. When asked about the impact of Creech's absense. Coach Mance stated, "It certainly had an effect... if he (Creech) had been with us, we would have defi­ nitely had those two points to put us in second, and we could have possibly made a run at the lead." Also absent from the weekend tourna­ ment was senior Antonio Calloway, who was out due to illness. Calloway, competinginthe 118-poundclassboastedal989- • 90 record of 15-2-2. Living up to his top 20 national billing, Morris was the only Appalachian State wrestler to record a first place finish in the Rochester tourney. This season Morris seeks to build upon last year's 15-5 over- . all mark. The Apps look to the 1990-91 season with much optimism. Mance believes that if App State can remain healthy and per­ form well early they look to be a strong contender in this year's conference battle. ree candidates remain for ASU athletic director vacancy By SHEA GRIFFIN Assistant Sports Editor | ltiesearch for a new ASU athletic diKhasbeen narrowed to three candi|bb Oliver, athletic director at the lily of Northern Colorado, Mike I, athleticdirector atMurray S tate lily, and Roachel Laney, interim sticdirector at ASU are the remaining fdites. itAlleva, an associate athletic direc"Duke University, recently withdrew from consideration.

"We received applications from athletic directors at Division I institutions, asso­ ciate athletic directors and assistant athletic directors," Nance said."There was a good mixture from large and small schools." Nance said the search committee took the original list of 80 candidates and nar­ rowed it down to 10. "Then we checked the references on those 10 candidates," Nance said. "We narrowed it do wn to four after a discussion of the reference checks." According to Nance, the four candi­ dates were brought to the ASU campus for meetings with the administrative cabinet, Appalachian coaches and faculty mem­ bers, before finally being interviewed by the full search committee. "We felt like all four candidates were outstanding personally as well as on paper," Nance said. After the interview process, Alleva announced his withdrawal from the race. "He felt that it was in his own best interest and the best interest of ASU if he withdrew," Nance said.

ASU extended its lead midway through the fourth quarter as fullback Charles Martin barrelled into the end zone from three yards out. Split end Galen Henson snagged a St. Clair pass for the two-point conversion. On the final play of the game, State's Scott Mueil scooped up a fumble and carried it 78 yards to the end zone and the final Pack score, ending the 30-14 contest. Those who worked behind the scenes for the ASU club team this season include President Pete Macaluso, Vice-President Pat Cannon and Secretary-Treasurer Marshall Gasperson. The ASU club completed the year with an 8-1 record. The close of the 1990 season also marks the close of Coach Steve Ginader's stint at the helm as he resigned his post. "It's hard to leave, but after 10 years in this circuit, I think we've outgrown the league," Ginader said. "Some teams seem to have lost the will to win, when that is all I preach to our team." Ginader served as an assistant coach from 1981 to 1985 and as head coach from 1986 to 1990. In his five years as head coach, Ginader compiled a 45-6-1 record, taking the club to five championship games. and center Brent Keck, the Bulldogs, who finished 18-12 last season, will need help from junior college transfcrTony Overton.

After playing a top-30 team (ETSU), the Apps go to Davidson to face the Wild­ cats on Jan. 8. The Cats are coming off a dismal 4-24 season and are picked to finish last in the Big South conference. Following the Davidson game, the Mountaineers return ;o Boone on Jan. 12 to host The Citadel. After having time off with their fami­ lies and such on Dec. 18-24, the Lady Mountaineers will hold a practice Christmas night and then hop on a plane to Philadelphia on Dec. 26.

Hendricks Merry Christmas The Appalachian, Thursday, December 6,1990 Do not waste your time In my post office box this afternoon, I found a letter addressed toseniors. It was to congratulate me "onreaching this important milestone in my academic career." The letter ended by reminding me I "will always be an impor­ tant member of the Appalachian family," and it was signed by ChancellorThomas. I hope after I continue with my suggestions for a better ASU I will still be welcome at family gatherings. On this same page today is a letter from a frustrated parent whose daughter can not get required classes even though she is a junior and gets to register fairly early. The parent noted she had not planned to send her daughter to school for more than 4 years but might have to do so. I am sure many parents have the same feelings. They planned to send their son or daughter to school for the usual amount of time, 4 years, to get an education. Many of these parents are paying for a lot more than their child's education. They are paying for luxuries that may delight but do not teach, Johnny or Susie anything. Something is seriously wrong when you have a choice of four—soon to be five—places to eat on campus, a fitness center nicer than most private health clubs and a student dance/comedy club, yet you don't have enough class sections to give students what they came here for— education. The amenities are nice but the educational instruction is essential. Many of my professors expressed concern about the news story in Tuesday's paper about the Student Union expansion. The picture painted was of a social outpost that could rival the country clubs in some cities. It will have more fitness equipment, offer more varieties of food, have a large room for dances and a place for "social gatherings in between classes." In the mean time, we have professorscrammed in small offices and students sitting in classes taking notes on their laps because there is not enough desk space for everyone. We have students who are worried about how they will get the classes required for their major before their or their parents' money runs out. We have students who have dropped from full to part-time because student fees have risen, and they are going toward non-educational pur­ poses. Many students like myself who arc paying for school on their own do not like the thought of paying for gyms and restaurants. We want books and lab materials. in education. Let's even find out what those folks in the administration building think about the complaints of the students and faculty. Surveys never solve problems, but they do provide valuable information. If the results show that overall the majority of the ASU Hope family is pleased with how things have been running, and they have no problem with the proposed projects, then the Harvev vocal minority will know to go to another school or accept the way things are. However, if the results show that the majority is in favor of sweeping changes, then those people pulling the strings at ASU need to change their direction and go with the flow. One main flaw I see with my strategy is that we have ASU has some very misplaced priorities, and I hope the many people who do not know what's going on. They administration opens their eyes before we lose part of our don't have any idea what all these price hikes are for, and excellent faculty to schools where academics are number they haven't noticed that our library is having its own fund one. Are there really schools like that, or have all colleges raiser. Many students simply don't care what goes on as and universities turned into playgrounds for high school long as they get a degree and have some fun while they are graduates? here. I even believe that some of the faculty members here From personal experience, I can say that my years at do not want to speak out until they get tenure, and even ASU could have been more pleasant if I had not had to run after that they do not want to rock the boat. Since those to UNC-Chapel Hill to do three research papers. I would faculty members with tenure have been here longer than like to get a refund on my tanks full of gas, but I'll try to you and I, maybe they know something we fledglings be realistic.I would have enjoyed Belk Library being open don't. earlier in the morning, closing later at night and having If they know from experience we are wasting our time longer weekend hours.

One's desire may lead to success By DAVID BALM AN Appalachian SlafT Writer Success and failure—these two terms are well known. Success makes you happy. Failure makes you sad. Success means good grades. Failure means bad grades and retaking classes. Success means a well-paying job with many benefits. Fail­ ure means a dead-end job or no job at all. We all want success more than we want failure. But as the final grades are tallied and the December graduates embark on their careers, there will inevitably be fail­ ures. If we all want success, why will many fail? Is it just fate? What is the dtif_Tence between the straight "A" student and the student on academic probation? How about the suc­ cessful business executive and the medio­ cre desk jockey or the star athlete and the "participant?" What about the difference between the exciting teacher and the boring teacher? If we could pinpoint the cause of suc­ cess and market it, we would certainly be appearing on "Life Styles of the Rich and Famous" within the year. But the cause of success cannot be sold. It is something all people have, but few use. It makes the difference in being the best and being just another face in the crowd. In order to have the effect of success, there must be a cause. What is the cause of success? It is desire. It is a burning desire to be successful, to persevere whereothers give up and to pay the price for success up­ front. It's the force that pushes the "A" student to study longer hours. It's the flame that makes the athlete stay after practice and work on his or her sprint, foul shot or spike. Desire makes the teacher prepare and research diligently for each class so the students will benefit from the lecture. Too many people today don't have the desire to succeed. Yes, the average person on the street wants the results of success: expensive sports car, happy family, excit­ ing job, house, plenty of spending money, respect of peers, international travel, etc. B ut does this person have the desire to pay the price for this success? While attending a piano concert in Pasadena, Calif,, a couple of years ago, I overheard a lady talking about how she wished she could play-thc piano as well as the pianist we had just heard. I'm sure she would love to perform, to be in the spot­ light, impress her friends and make lots of money. But would she be willing to prac­ tice six to 10 hours a day, seven days a week for years as this musician had? She wanted the success, but she didn't really have the desire to pay the price. Desire enables us to pay the price. If you desire good grades, you've got to pay the price of hours spent studying. Success in business? The price can be overtime, consistent excellence in job performance and loyalty to the firm. Desire leads us to sacrifice for the suc­ cess we crave. An old proverb states: "He who would attain little, must sacrifice little. He who would attain much, must sacrifice much." You have to decide: watch TV or study? Sleep or exercise? Read a book you want to or prepare for that class project you've been putting off? Watch TV on Sunday or spend lime at the office? By sacrificing the trivial and concentrat­ ing on the essential, you begin to build your success. Don't think that success depends on fate or circumstance. Many people sit in their easy chair and wait for success to drop in their lap. It won't happen. Life is not a lottery. Each of us is thecaptain of his or her ship. We can either grab control of the helm and guide our ship to prosperity, or let the waves of circumstance push us to the rocks. Shaw stated that, "People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstance. The people who get on in this world are the people whoget up and look for thecircum­ stances they want, and if they cannot find them, they make them." Of course, having desire cannot take away a lack of talent, skill or intellectual ability, but desire can help everyone suc­ ceed beyond where he is now—no matter what hand life has dealt him. See ONE'S page 10 - Students are not getting required classes THE far side By GARY LARSON Parent wants ASU to fix the class scheduling problem immediately Article about Western angers several students who write back in shock To the Editor: To the Editor. " I d i o t ! . .. You're s t a n d i n g on my foot! After just reading the editorial in the Thursday, Nov. 15 edition of "The Appalachian" about students not able to get a required class for her education degree by Amanda Fields, I felt I must also voice my opinion in this matter. This is my daughter's second year at ASU. This has happened to her every time she has attempted to register. This semester she attempted to register at her designated time for a pre-requisite class in order to enter the college of educa­ tion in her junior year, only to be told it was closed. She has had to take just whatever classes were available just to be a full-time student. We are only prepared to send her to college for the usual four years. Almost everytime I read this paper this is a major concern to students and parents. Something must be done about this now. Kathryn Hamrick Shelby, N.C. 28150 I am writing in response to the article by Marlyse Rappaport—about her complaints against Western Carolina University. It thoroughly amazes me how she generalizes so much and makes it sound as if all of the students here are whiny little babies who are lazy and incompetent. One point she made that really struck me as being absolutely ridiculous was her remark that, "They proceed to get fat by buying pizza and subs from local fast food restaurants." Where does she get that interesting fact? Students at other schools eat out just as much as students at WCU. She then went on to completely degrade us by saying that Western is a disgusting slum like place to be and all of the students came here only because they got a 2.0 and were little brats wanting to get out of mommy and daddy's house. I am completely insulted. 1 did not come to this school because I was stupid and my parents were tired of looking at me. I don't consider myself in the 13th and 14th grade either. I came here to get an education, and I intend to work hard for it. Another point she made that infuriated me was her remark that we are just killing time before we get married and start having babies. What!? That is the most absurd generalization I have ever heard! Where does she get that? Did she take a personal poll on our future plans? She makes it sound like all we do it take home-ec classes and sit around waiting for marriage proposals. It is silly how she throws all the students here into one category of sloths, air heads and hog bodies—which is basically how she makes us sound. There are students here that are working hard for an education and want a career too, not just to party and waste their parents' money. Granted, Western could .use some improvements but so could any other state-funded school. I am sure that Appalachian is an excellent school, and I am not trying to say that Western is any better. But so far. Miss Rappaport has not proved to me that she is getting any better of an education at ASU than if she were at Western. Paige Hachet Western Carolina University Cullowhee, N.C. Military brat is not pleased with students' lack of troop support To the Editor: Although I have disagreed with many of the students' commentaries during the last few months, I have not been compelled to write to the paper until now. I am greatly disturbed over the lack of support for the president and our troops in the Middle East. During some class discussions and other conversations, I get the impression that these people believe that the only reason why we are there is to protect our oil interests. Yes, oil is a major reason why we are there. With a raise in oil and gasoline prices, our already See LETTERS page 11 �IhjL&UWhichian.

We've got to take Hussein utof the picture, and I believe that Military action is the only rational Saddam Hussein solution. We must remember that the United Slates is not alone in this fight against aggression. The United States is just one country in a community of nations who disapprove and are taking action against Iraq. Just recently the United Nations Security Council approved a resolution calling for the unconditional withdrawal of Iraqi forces in Kuwait by an. 15, and if they do not comply, military action will be justifiably used. Whatever happened to rallying behind the president and backing up his decision, whatever it may be? It's okay to question and debate the subject, but when a decision is made, we should stand behind the president's judgement because it will make America's resolve that much stronger. America must band together as one. Soldiers do not win wars; countries do. This is sort of hard to explain, but I think you get my point. I would like to make one last comment about the ASU student and National Guardsman, Michael Ange. He s the guy who is trying to sue the president of the United States because he does not want to serve his country and protect American interests. Not only did he embarrass himself, but he Everything is on Sale! embarrassed ASU and the nation. When he raised his right hand and took the oath over the Bible and signed his contract with the army, he knew just what he was in for. Ange does not want to join the other brave soldiers in the Persian Gulf and is trying to weasel out of it by complaining of fake tummy aches and sore knees. Give me a break! All he has to do over there is drive a gasoline truck. Michael Ange is a disgrace to the county, and I have no respect for this man. I was bom an Air Force brat and was raised with a decent sense of patrio­ tism. Maybe that is why I am so bitter toward those who are ignorant to all the reasons why we're in the Middle East and those who choose to compare it to another Vietnam. I wish the troops the best of luck and hope that the crisis can be resolved peacefully.

BRAGG: The Boone unit of the 1451st National Guard Transportation unit left Boone Sunday Ft Bragg. The troops may stay at Bragg and not be sent to Saudi Arabia according to Maj. Gen. Nathaniel H. Robb Jr. Expansion plans for the new student union are underway, and construction could start in the spring of '92. "We're in phase two of five phases," said Larry M. Trivette, student union di­ rector. The student union expansion committee has reviewed feasibility study which was approved by the board of trustees and is currently working on the actual room designs of the building. Phase two is design and development. During this phase, the expansion com­ mittee meets with architects to discuss specific rooms and locations. "We've fi­ nalized where everything's going to be," Trivette said. Phase three is construction documentation or putting together the blueprints. Phase four is bidding and ne­ gotiations from contractors for building the expansion, and phase five is con­ struction. When construction begins, it will take about a year for completion, according to Trivette. No financial support for the student union will come from the state, so a fee increase to cover the renovation and construction of the new student union was approved by the ASU board of trustees, Trivette said. "At present, the fee structure for the student union is $77; this covers cost of debt retirement for the old building and operation of the student union." Trivette explained. Beginning fall budget '90, all full-time students paid a $30 increase. This increase will be used for construc­ tion and renovation. Trivette added that a $70 proposed fee which is up for approval this Friday by the board of trustees, may go into effect fall '91 and the overall increase of $100 will be used for construction only. The $77 charged to students now will still be used for operation of the student union. In November of 1988, the student union expansion committee conducted a sur­ vey. "We did a survey to find out from students what they would like to seeas far as services. Three-thousand ASU students were surveyed, and according to David Robertson, director of student programs, the opinions helped to guide the decisions of what was included in the final plans. "According to the survey a movie the­ atre and auditorium was the most wanted service, but because of the cost and reno­ vations to I.G. Greer, the theatre was left out," Trivette said. He said there would be a 24-hour study room with computers, a copier area and aerobics and weightlifting areas. The Sweet Shop also will be expanded and will include items such as salads, fresh fruit, yogurt and bottled water, according to Trivette. Mike Scales, president of SGA and cochairman of the student union expansion committee, said,"We need a better student union. The university must have more meeting and conference space." Scales said this is the primary reason for the expansion. The expansion will include a 6,000-foot multipurpose room for meet­ ings and dances, Trivette said. The present student union was built in 1965 when ASU's student population was 5,000. Today, the student body consists of well over 11,000 students, and Scales said it is hard to accommodate every one's needs with the limited meeting spaces and the small conference room in the present stu­ dent union. The total cost of the expansion will be $9.4 million. This figure includes remodSee STUDENT page 2 ^GA president and vice president hold to platform By BRITT ELLIS Appalachian SUIT Writer Student Government Association sidentMike Scales and Vice-President lylGhenthave fulfilled over 50percent platform for the 1990-91 school t, according to SGA Off-Campus/ wiunity Affairs Chairperson Stephen molzer. jbtspring when Scales and Ghent were '8 for SGA President and Viceit, they presented a platform that ted where they stood and what they to do concerning certain issues, platform they gave out last spring topics such as parking, environ!| bareness and creating an outdoor forum to debate issues. Protesting state­ wide tuition increases and promoting ac­ tive involvement of ASU students within the community were also among the top­ ics of the Scales/Ghent platform. Scales and Ghent formed an environ­ mental awareness committee in August. Schmotzer and SGA Rules Committee ChairpersonTanuny Miles lead die eight-, member committee. Miles skid they have met with Dr. Ward Zimmerman, vice chancellor of business affairs, about tak­ ing ASU vans off the account with Exxon and switching to another oil company. The committee also plans"to phase out all paper cups on campus," Ghent said. Scales and Ghent's plans to create an outdoor forum for students to publicly debate and discuss issues is in effect. Eddie Pratt, SGA assistant rules committee chairperson, presented the bill creating the outdoor forum and it was passed on Sept. 25. According to Scales, the outdoor forum will be much like the"Pit" at UNCChapel Hill. The first forum was held on Satiford Mall Wednesday, Nov. 14, from nobn to 2 p.m."A rotating crowd of about 20 people," according to Miles, attended the first forum and discussed topics rang! ing from the SAC to the Hclms-Gantt senatorial race. A public forum concerning state-wide tuition increases was also on the Scales/ Ghent platform. In September, a public forum was held protesting any state-wide tuition increases. The panel at the forum consisted of Judy Hunt, member of the N.C. House of Representatives; David Diamont, chairperson of House Appro­ priation Committee for the N.C. General Assembly; andChancellor Thorn as. Scales commented that little student support at the forum disturbed him. Scales and Ghent also arranged the public forum held Tuesday, Nov. 27, to discuss student fees With Zimmerman. Scales and Ghent have worked, with Mayor Velma Burnley in promoting ac­ tive involvement of ASU students within the community. They have been on the mayor's talk show on WATA and have assisted the spirit committee for SGA in arranging for ASU banners to be hung along King Street. Scales commented that he wished more students would attend Boone Town Council meetings. The promotion of better communica­ tion between SGA and students by airing senate meetings on AppalNct went into elfect early in September, according to Ghent. Senate meetings can be seen Wednesdays at 7 p.m. on AppalNet chan­ nel 21 of Boone Cable. Maximizing the current parking situa­ tion to satisfy student needs is part of the Scales/Ghent platform that is being worked on. The parking proposal, a recommenda­ tion by SGA, includes gates, which have been built, and arranging a system for ticket appeals. Kristen Kolstelnik, SGA academic af­ fairs chairperson, and White Hall Senator Dawn Barker have met with the director of Belk Library. They are researching what academic resources ASU lacks and dis­ covering where funds come from. Scales and Ghent have also worked on projects not included in their platform. TheUSADiscountcards, which are spon­ sored by SGA and list discounts available to students at select businesses, have been distributed, and more work was put into promoting homecoming this year, accord­ ing to Ghent. SGA also sponsored the Thanksgiving Can Drive. Student voter registration reached 1,467 students this fall, approximately 600 more than one held two years ago. SGA is also schedul­ ing the clothing drive and sponsoring five families in the community for Christmas.

Quayle responded by saying thepresent level of higher education funding is suffi­ cient. When Davies pressed him for a better answer, Quayle came upwith the clincher; "If anyone is being denied the opportunity for a higher education, then you tell them to write a letter to me and I will help them out." Davies, who works 20 hours a week while taking 14 hours,decided to organize a letter-writing campaign. 'The Independent Alligator," UF's student paper, wrote an editorial calling on students to write to Quayle. The 20 letters received sofar contain"a wide array of cases ranging from people in financial straits to people who have been told their families make too much money to get financial aid,"Whitney said. See QUAYLE page 2 Cafe and Hoey residence hall. Schmotzer said the new crosswalk will greatly help this congested area. "Everyone agrees that it is a dangerous area," Schmotzer said. "There is a blind spot when you go around that comer, and you can'tsee when people are crossing the street." According to Schmotzer and Pegram, the Department ofTransponation said they did not feel that a crosswalk was necessary on Rivers Street, near the baseball field. Schmotzer was disappointed with this rul­ ing, stating that many drivers don't obey the 25-mile-an-hour speed limit and put pedestrians in danger. "The Department ofTransportationsaid that there are plenty of crossing areas on Rivers Street,"Schmotzer said."The SGA Senate, ASU administration and the Boone Town Council don't agree with that." The Department ofTransportation also didn't immediately favor a crosswalk at the intersection of King Street and Hardin Street. Schmotzer said they were still looking into it and are studying the traffic flow and peak traffic hours. As for a crosswalk on College Street, near the AppalCART stop, Schmotzer said the university will be putting one there themselves. The Department of Trans­ portation stated that College Street is un­ der the university's ruling, so it is up to them to make the decision and install a crosswalk if they wish. In addition to Schmotzer and Pegram, Deborah Osterhoudt, student court's chief justice, spoke to the SGA Senate. Osterhoudt presented a report on what the court had been doing and how many cases had been tried so far this year. She was excited about the people on the court and commended the Senate for choosing good justices. "They're very enthusiastic about their jobs, learn quickly, and care about what they're doing," Osterhoudt said. Accordingto Osterhoudt, 155caseshave been processed so far this semester in student court. Of those cases, 136 were found guilty, two were found not guilty, one was turned over to administration intervention and 16 were null-processed. Null-processed means dismissed because of lack of evidence. Fifty-six percent of the cases this semester are alcohol related, and only 12 percent of those tried were repeat offenders. Osterhoudt stated that both of these statistics are extremely good compared to previous years. In addition to listening to the speakers, the SGA Senate passed a bill that requests that the university allow meal plan money to be accepted by the future universitycontrolled vending machines. ASU will be taking over all of the vending machines on campus beginning next semester. The machines will take dollars, change, and Appalachian Express accounts. With the acceptance of this bill, meal cards will be accepted beginning in the fall of 1991. Food services is spending $250,000 to begin the program and will lower their prices after breaking even. In the future, the university would like to have a Pepsi, Coke, fruit juice and sandwich machine in every building on campus. Appalachian Photo by ir#yM HAVE YOU BEEN A GOOD LITTLE GIRL?

To make room for the expansion, Workman Hall will be torn down. Part of the present student union will be made to accommodate the offices now in Work­ man Hall, Trivette said. Workman Hall was built in 1940 at a cost of S266.000. It was originally an apartment building for faculty, then it became a women's residence hall. In 1971, Workman Hall was developed into a student development center. According to Robertson, very little land will be sacrificed. The building expansion will cover up one sidewalk and an area of grass. Robertson said, to compensate for this, an outside amphitheater will be con­ structed where Workman Hall is located. The amphitheater is planned for student gatherings and as a place to socialize be­ tween classes, Robertson said. Editors Note: Linnea Martinson and Neal Smith contributed to this article.

To see your own creative work printed and produced for hun­ dreds of readers is an exciting experience. As of one month ago, students now have that chance—to publish original work in a literary publication which comes out at least once a month called "Appalachian Broadsides." Adviser Pete Turchi said, "The idea of the 'Broadsides' is to provide a forum for writers at ASU." Unlike the "Cold Mountain Review," which is a small book of collected work that comes out only once a year and accepts work from students and area residents, the "Appalachian Broadsides" is produced every two to three weeks and is limited only to students. Turchi is a newcomer to ASU and teaches cre­ ative writing courses in the English department. Through these classes, Turchi found several stu­ dents interested in editing the publication. Michael Bates, Kathy Ashe and Laura Swcnson share the responsibilities of editing,choosing what is printed and designing the actual page. The design of each "Broadsides" is completely dependent on the material submitted. The layout, size and type of the Broadsides is totally at the discretion of the editor designing the page; there are no set requirements. The "Appalachian Broadsides" accepts poetry and short prose from interested writers. Thus far, only poetry has been published. Ashe, one of the editors, said, "We are interested in publishing prose because all that we have gotten is poetry." Turchi said, "I think there is enough good writ­ ing on this campus that students should get to see what other students are creating, and they should be proud of having it presented to the community 1 at large." The idea of broadsides originated in the 17th century. England began the tradition with the selling of single sheets of paper on the streets which usually featured short prose or essays. Tho­ mas Payne's "Common Sense," a political pam­ phlet, was a broadside, also known as a broadsheet, which was folded. "The idea of a broadside in general is that one writing is worthy of attention on its own," Turchi said. Turchi said he feels it is important to foster community writers on campus and to make them aware of one another. The "Appalachian Broadsides" are distributed in the student union, at the Watauga College office, in the Sanford Hall English department office and at the Book Revue on King Street. The public library has also offered to carTy the "Appalachian Broadsides." The "Appalachian Broadsides" is very different from the "Cold Mountain Review," though it works under the same budget as "Cold Mountain Re­ view." The "Appalachian Broadsides" hopes to produce lOlo 14editions of the broadside litis year. Ashe, a senior interested in publishing and edit­ ing, finds her editorship challenging. "It is fun because I enjoy reading student work," Ashe said. Work can be submitted through the English department on the second floor of Sanford Hall. "We are always taking submissions, but they may not be published immediately. Don't be discour­ aged—it may come out a few months later," Ashe said. WHS students express their opinions of ASU are higher than everyone else and don't want to associate with anyone else." Junior Jennifer Perry has a contrasting opinion: "I know a few people over there, and they seem really nice. There's a good range of people at ASU, all different types. Ijustknowthat there's a lot of party­ ing going on, like there would be at most col­ leges." There are not many complaints, but the main one seems to be that there are too many student teachers who come to Watauga High School. 'There are about 15 to 20 student teachers on campus, and the students' grades seem to drop each lime they have a student teacher," Rogers said. "Student teachers make mygrades go down. My suggestion would be to try and make them more prepared about what they are teaching," Combs said. 44 There are not many places for the high school students to go so they usually just have parties at their houses with a few friends on weekend nights. "It would be neat for high school and ASU students to get together. It would help us a lot to have them come over and talk to us about college," Combs said. "It would be a good idea for ASU students to come to the high school and talk to us," Willis said. 99 These are some of the teens' feelings about ASU students and having a college in their town. We are in their town, buying their products, and they want to keep getting respect. We are supporting a major part of Boone's economy and setting examples for the high school students. Hopefully, we'll keep their high opinions of us and prove ourselves to them through our determination and individual We are in their town, buying their products, and they want to keep getting respect.

The class decided toorder a total of 1,000cookbooks and price them at $8 each. Each student was required to buy at least one stock in the company at $10. The limit was 50 stocks per student. Investors get a stock dividend on the profit surplus, as well as commission sales after the sales quota of 25 cookbooks is met. The success of the project determines the students' grades, and the required stock gives the students a monetary interest in the project. Huffine said,"The benefit of having this class is wc get to practice what we have learned, and we may learn something we didn't pick up the first time." The class combines such skills as economics, statistics and marketing. The college of business invested $2,500 in the project. The proceeds of the project repay the college with interest. The college of business has a large interest in the project because it is an entreprcncural investment to them, as well. Huffine worked with Kathy Whittcn in editing and compiling. Two days before the class did a mid-point progressreport to the professor,Whittcn was killed in a freak accident. The class decided to dedicate the book to her in her name. The profits from the venture will go into a fund and be des­ ignated for something later, possibly a scholarship or education fund. "Losing somebody and going on was an experience, but wc had to go on because it was business," Huffine said. The class, also known as the Entrepcnuerial Club, has only one week to sell all the cookbooks. Cookbooks are being sold in the student union and possibly in residence halls for onlyone night of this week. the Family Melting Pot Cookbook \ y N s \ s \ / \* / \ / \ y\ y\ y \ ys y \ y \ y \ y \ \ \ \ \ \ rfbi rfftl �Tlli Appalachian.

Wrestlers win, 25-18 By RUSSELL STEVENS Appalachian Staff Writer and Appalachian Staff Reports came just 1:21 into the match and secured the Appalachian victory. ASU Coach Paul Mance said he was pleased with the win, but "not pleased with the results of the match." The match was knotted at eight apiece following the first four matches,but ASU's Adrian Hines defeated Matt Hubler, 15-9, to put the Moun­ taineers up by three.

The Wolf Pack scored on four plays in its third overtime possession, but Furman was stopped on its third possession.Paladin quarterback Frankie Debusk dropped back to pass on fourth-and-five but slipped and fell on the muddy turf to end the game. Nevada, the Big Sky Conference cham­ pion, will host conference foe Boise State in the semifinals Dec.8. Furman concluded its season 9-4. the scoreboard for most of the first half and led by as many as nine points after freshman guard Penny Roberson hit alayup with 6:47 remaining in the half. Georgia Southern connected on a flurry of fast breaks in the last three minutes including senior point guard VetCooper's bucket with five seconds left in the first half. Appalachian led by just two at the inter­ mission. The second half was adeadlock in which neither team led by more than four points. Senior point guard Karen Gruca, who led ASU with 20 points, found her touch from the outside and buried her fourth three-pointer of the night with 4:51 re­ maining to pull the Mountaineers to within two of the Eagles. Roberson netted two jumpers from the perimeter and, along with Junior forward Shannon Thomas' two free throws, gave ASU an 84-80 advantage with 2:36 left in the game. Down the stretch it was Wilson of the Eagles who rose to the occasion by con­ verting an inside score and adding a free throw to give her the game's scoring hon­ ors with her 36th point. Appalachian failed to score in the last two minutes and Georgia Southern sank three of five free throws to earn the win. Saturday's three-pointloss toCampbell University was very similar to the Georgia Southern game in many aspects. App State was in command the entire first half with the exception of the opening basket by Campbell center Laurie Hood. ASU led by as many as eight points in the first half paced by the scoring of 5-11 Shannon Thomas who erupted for 23 first half points on 11 of 13 from the field. "Shannon had glimpses of very strong play. Her numbers are fantastic but they could have been ever, better," ASU Coach Linda Robinson said. Appalachians' halftime lead of six was quickly erased by the Camels who outscored ASU 31-17 in the opening 11 minutes of the second half. "We know that people are going to be coming after us," Robinson said. "We really don't have a true personality yet, but there's no excuse for our lethargicplay tonight, and we let the players know it." Down by nine witn only 2:42 remaining on the clock the Mountaineers mounted a comeback attempt. Junior guard Mitzi Yount scored five points including a three-pointer,and Gruca and Thomas combined for four free-throws in the final span, but their efforts fell short leaving the Lady Apps with a 1-3 record on this young season. "I was really proud of Mitzi Yount in the second half," Robinson said. "She's always been Ms. Clutch, and she was really outhustling Campbell." Thomas led the way for Appalachian with 32 points and 16 rebounds while Yount had a career best 17 points. "This is the best team Campbell's had in a while," Robinson said. "CoachWanda Watkins gets the maximum out of her players and she leads a class program, but I will admit that this is one of the weakest teams we are going to play this season. We're a better ball club than we've played the last two games. We have a group who know how to win. and our youth is no excuse."

Another addition to campus is the Scholar's Bookstore. This was also a great idea (orstudents, faculty and staff.The ASU community should go and browse through the bookstore and sec what a wonderful selection of books is provided there. This was an excellent addition to an already well-stocked bookstore. Students, faculty and staff should also praise the university in its effort to help those soldiers who were called to duty during the Middle East crisis.The university has been helpful in allowing students to receive grades, incompletes, or a complete reftmd of tuition. The ASU faculty and staff should also be praised for working with these students to ensure they get credit for this semester. A sentimental reflection If you spend lots of time at a certain hobby, like needlepoint, you become attached to it and obviously find it enjoyable. Pretty soon everyone knows that needlepoint is something at which you excel, and you are dubbed a needlepointer. 1 have spent the last four and a half years at ASU, and I have become attached to the school because I enjoy being here. Many people back home know I attend ASU because of all the free public relations I provide by showing my pride as a Mountaineer. If you need details about any subject, you arc probably going to ask someone who has knowledge in that area to answer your questions. I would ask my friend who needlepoints how to get started if I could ever sit still long enough to develop an interest for the hobby. Likewise, if someone needed to know something about ASU, I would feel very comfortable answering any and every question thrown my way. 1 guess what I'm really trying to say with these analo­ gies is that I feel 1 have learned a lot about the ASU community. 1 believe I am capable of making some healthy suggestions for the betterment of a place that will be my alma mater in two weeks. I am grateful for this opportunity and realize that if it were not for my position, no one except close friends and classmates would get to hear me ramble on about the way I feel. Ido not have the answers. You do not have the answers. Not one individual alone can ever answer all the riddles which are pushed our way. If you take a group of people and put them to work on a problem, you eventually get a solution. Group efforts will always be the optimal way to arrive at any end from any given means. When a group of people who have been delving into some situation present irre­ futable evidence that indeed this or that way is right, most people listen. When an individual does the same thing, it is not only less plausible, but most of the time, the individual's evidence is met with great skepticism. With both groups and individuals, bias will always be a factor which we must all avoid. SGA President Mike Scales and Vice President Daryl Ghent should be praised for heir hard work litis semester. They have achieved over 50 percent of their platform pals and kept their promises to the students, faculty and staff that they made during fe 1990 election.

Every one The upper stadium field was my playground when I came to school here. I hadn't been in Eggers for a month when I ventured up the steps behind Bowie and found a nice path to explore. The path led to the top of a steep hill which I later knew as "suicide hill" when the snow fell that winter. From the lop of the hill, the path shot down a rhododendron-covered walk that looked like something out of "The Shining" when it was covered with snow and ended at a nice little pond. My sophomore year, I lived on the top floor of Winkler. I enjoyed watching Yofest start up and later in the day, I made my way out onto the rainy field just to frolic with my friends. After visiting my friends who had gone to Greenville, Chapel Hill and Charlotte, I was so glad I had decided to follow my heart and go to the mountains for my education. I not only had an excellent faculty at my disposal, but I also had green grass and hiking trails right on campus. Unfortunately, the people who are planning the layout of our ASU community don't want to stop until they develop every single square inch of land we own. I may be dramatizing this a bit, but if you look down the road at what our school has planned and where these plans are going, it is quite shocking. There will come a lime when we can no longer grow. Can we not alter our plans and save some explorable territory on our campus before it is too late? See SENTIMENTAL page 8 SGA passes tuition increase too easily 'The Rhododendron" should be thanked for scheduling an extra week for photos to iwtstudent demands. This required an extra effort on the part of staff members due to deadline pressure, and students, faculty and staff should remember the hard work tiese students are putting into this book. Students, faculty and staff should also remember the time and effort that all ASU 'Alleles have put into the games thus far. Our women's volley bal 1 team won the regular season conference championship, and our men's soccer team won the Southern Conference tournament. The students, who take the extra challenge of balancing a full academic load with a spot on a sports team, should be commended. Although the fall season of events has concluded, students, faculty and staff should continue to support "a 18 varsity sports offered at ASU and show their encouragement by attending the "atious home and away games and matches. Hope Harvey I realize that we need to add a few more buildings to accommodate the students who were allowed to come even though there was not space for them yet. We need new academic buildings and academic support buildings. It has never ceased to amaze me how our financial aid office functions in such cramped quarters. Not all of the planned construction is bad, and some of it has been designed in a way that it will fill land that has already been cleared. An art gallery has been proposed for the space between Wey Hall and Farthing Auditorium. The land is already cleared and even though we may need other types of buildings worse than we need an art gallery, a logical site was found for the structure. The new math and science building will be somewhere between East Hall and Kerr Scott Hall. I don't think anyone can deny that there exists a genuine need for this structure. This building will house several departments and will be very accessible with Rivers Street running right out in front. On the surface, both of these proposed projects seem quite reasonable. What, you may ask, sounds unreasonable? As you might have already knownor guessed, the Student Activ ity Center, which regardless of what anyone says is NOT a done deal, is my idea of an unreasonable project. My number one reason for opposing the center is purely sentimental. I want the path to stay open for students ten years from now so they can explore as I did. After that, the logical reasons start piling up. The location is all wrong. It is not easily accessible to any major road and as a result, a new one will have to be built. I have often wondered why the Boone citizens, who so wholeheartedly support this project, don't help ASU out and offer a piece of land that would be mutually beneficial to both the school and the county. If such a structure is ever built, it will benefit more than the students by bringing in visitors for conventions or concerts and yes, even sporting events. It just doesn't State affairs director feels SGA hurried past the fee increase issue To the Editor: As a member of the executive cabinet of the Student Government Association, I do not have a vote in the student senate since I am not a part of that organization. However, I have the opportunity to observe decisions that are made by student senate as well as those made by the other branches of Student Government. One decision that the student senate made at the Nov. 20, 1990 meeting was to accept, in full, the administration's fee proposals for the 1991-92 school year. The administration's proposal contained fee increases of $270 per student. Each year, the vice chancellor for student development as well as the vice chancellor for business affairs comes before student senate and attempts to justify the proposed fee increases for the next school year. This meeting is the most important meeting of the year and is usually, with the notable exception of this year, covered by "The Appala­ chian." Usually, student senate forms an "ad-hoc" committee to study the fee increases to see if they are really justified. This ad-hoc committee then reports back to the full senate with the results of its findings. When the committee reports back, the student senate usually votes on each fee item by item. This year, student senate did not think it necessary to form an ad-hoc committee to study the proposed fee increase. Nor did senate think it fit to vote line by line on the proposed fee increases. Instead, student senate, by a vote of 36-24, decided to accept all $270 in increases in full. Even though the proposed coliseum fee and the proposed increase in book rental were questioned by some, the senate still If' ided to accept all of the fee in­ creases. Maybe the fee increases were justified and maybe they weren't. The students of Appalachian will never have •the chance to know. So when fees go up next year, the student body will have the administration and SGA Senate to thank for it. I disagree with senate's decision not to study the proposed increases further. Now that I've got your attention and now that you're probably mad, I would like to suggest some things that you can do in helping senators do their job better so that sucli things as fee increases might be questioned more in the future. First of all, you can call the SGA secretary at 262-2265 and request the name of your senator. You could then call your senator and let him know your opinion about this issue or any other issue that you think affects the students of Appalachian. Secondly, you might want to consider getting involved in one of the branches of SGA, in particular, student senate. For more information about how to become involved in senate, you can call SGA Vice-President Daryl Ghent at 262-2240. Finally, don't become an apathetic constituent. When you disagree with something, speak-out— better yet, get involved! Randy Hill ASU Box 15737 Michael Ange angers students with lawsuit against the government To the Editor: It is finally time. It's time for someone to speak out about the Persian Gulf thing, and I've been too boiled up to let it sit. I write to you about a former student here at ASU. You know, the one that was in the papers recently about being called to active duly in the Gulf region. Well, to be honest, when I first read the article, it really angered me. Then, when I read it again, I got even more upset. I am currently a sophomore here. I am also a proud veteran of the U.S. Navy! I am also currently a member of the Naval Reserve. The thing that made my blood turn red was the fact that this "man" was a member of the Army Reserve, and yet he was nagging about the President not having the authority to call him to active service. I remember what it was like when I had to sign my name to the dotted line. There was no gun pointed at my head. The government wasn't threatening my mom or dad. There was no firing squad about to shoot my sister. I signed my name on my own free will. I knew then just like I know today what that entailed. One of the last sentences on the enlistment papers reads, "I swear to protect the United States of America from enemies foreign and domestic, so help me God." The only thought that comes to mind thinking about this poor helpless boy is who in the heck does he think he Is? No one made him enlist in the reserves. The government has been paying him good money just to play soldier on the weekends and that's it? I don't think so! It's lime for him to earn his pay. I heard through the grapevine that his unit shipped out to the Persian Gulf a couple of weeks ago. The Army held back this little soldier for medical evaluations. I was told that they stamped him A-l medical condition and sent him on his way to the Persian Gulf. I sincerely hope that is what happened, and I believe that when the whole gulf thing is over that the Army should discharge him with a Bad Conduct Discharge! If it is not true about him being in the gulf, I hope to goodness that I personally never meet him, because he sure ain't worth the stuff I flush down the toilet! Kc. Kasserman Box 17554 Student protest is both uncalled for and not necessary at this time To the Editor: The recent statements of certain students on this campus require an immediate response. Those who wish to instigate a protest against the situation in the Middle East should have thought before setting pen to paper. Student protest is uncalled for and quite inappropriate. Whether or not these so-called protestors realize it, we are not at war and no one wants us to be. Furthermore, cheap gas is hardly the issue at hand (although our nation still boasts the cheapest gas in the world despite the Gulf crisis). The United States is attempting to halt the foolhardy greed and aggression of one man, Saddam Hussein. The United States has always been a force to be reckoned with when maintaining or restoring world peace, and our military has successfully completed countless missions for those very purposes. Personally I strongly disagree with the idea of war for any reason, but I do support our country's recent actions in the Middle East. Like most college age students I was bom during a war, but I have also watched my father and many friends leave to fight in four war-like conflicts since the one in Vietnam. It scares me to know the danger i >\ dad is in, but the statements and actions of closed-minded people scare me even more. 1 will state once more that I disap­ prove of war, but if the present situation overseas escalates, I will be proud to fight alongside my father for what my country thinks is right. We all have our complaints for the federal government, but when several hundred thousand of our fellow citizens are voluntarily risking their lives, we should all support the cause. As for you students who are calling for a nation­ wide student protest, your lack of patriotism and empathy make you no different than flag burners. You live in the United States of America and you reap the benefits. If you don't like this country—leave it. Scott A. Buettner ASU Box 13805 Council wants women to know the facts before any damage is done To the Editor: In our position of advocacy for the women in the county, we include ASU students. Therefore, we feel it necessary to write to you, for the sake of truth in advertising, in order to inform your readers about an ad you have printed from the Boone Crisis Pregnancy Center. It is important for your readers to know that this center has a particular viewpoint in its pregnancy counseling, and that the center is opposed to abortion and therefore will not give unbiased information regarding alternatives to pregnancy, even though their ad states that they will. Those pregnant women who are seriously considering abortion must look to other resources if they want unbiased information on the subject. We assume, for those pregnant women who require counseling and do wish to carry the pregnancy through, that this center will serve their needs, but we want the others to understand that, despite the tone of the ad, this center is definitely anti-choice. Women need to know with whom they are dealing. For a non-judgmental description of choices, women can go to the ASU Counseling Center, ASU Infirmary or the Watauga County Health Depart­ ment, all of which will be glad to help. Dcnise R.

If you really want to know what it's like, try again. Still again, though, even a spark of awareness can grow, and it is my hope that I am wrong to criticize what may only be a beginning for these students.

THE APPALACHIAN X Fairness, Accuracy and Public Service Since 1934 Vol. 65 No. 22 APPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY, Boone, NC 28608 Thursday, November 29,1990 : No changes in cable High Country Cable makes mistake By AMANDA NELSON Appalachian Staff Writer Appltchlsn Photo by Nicole Quinn /Of/SB ACK: Students were upse' when they f*covpred High Country Cable would out some channels, including the Fox naworit. But now High Country Cable is admitting to a mistake made by their legal council, and there will not be changes. After a public forum on Monday, Nov. 26, the proposed changes in Boone Cable programming following a consolidation of two cable compan ies have been rejected. High Country Cable Manager Deborah Lemon stated, "As far as the changes, there really won't be any." However, there had been consideration to cancel several Piedmont stations from the current roster of stations. WXII, WGHT, WJZY, and WCCB were among the stations that would have been can­ celled. While it is certain that WXII, WGHT, and WJZY will not be cancelled, the company is having to go through other channels to keep WCCB. But Lemon as­ sures that "we are working with the ASU foundation to keep WCCB." Lemon stated that "We madean error in our calculations. Our legal council had made an error in telling us that we needed to drop the signals for thesestations or pay a fee." Later, it was discovered that the legal council had made a mistake. WCCB, which carries the Fox network and the Charlotte Hornets basketball games, was a station that caused the most reaction after it was announced that it would be cancelled. When ASU student JeanneSmith found out that the Fox late night talk show with Arsenio Hall might be discontinued, she said, "I immediately went home and called 1500 times!" Lemon also acknowledged the great deal of public reaction to the station's cancellation. She said, "There are some very die-hard WJZY fans."She also noted "We received a lot of calls," admitting that, "Arsenio Hall happened to be one of them (shows that were protested)." According to Lemon, the number of phone calls and letters received affected their decision to try to keep the stations. She commented, "We want to do what our customers want. Customer service is what we're all about." Since the companies' consolidation. Lemon feels there are several positive aspects. She stated tltere will be less fixed costs by having onlyone company. How­ ever, there will still be a rate increase this year, as in the past four to five years. High Country Cable also hopes to add several new channels. Lemon said they had previously made plans to add a coun­ try musicchannel and aconsumernctwork channel, but following the forum, the company now plans to let cable subscrib­ ers choose the new programs. "At the forum we heard that the people wanted a choice in the new programs," Lemon said, "and we want to give them that opportunity." Following the forum, the company has now decided to mail out a survey which allows the public to choose stations they would like to see added. The survey will be included in the January cable bill. The company is also planning to give subscribers the option to watch boxing matches,currentmovies, and concerts with apay-per-view channel, Lemon stated there had been a great deal of requests for payper-view, especially following the Evander Hollifield and Buster Douglas boxing match. The channel will air on previous dead airspace on 38, and the amounts for the events will vary, according to Lemon. There is also a possibility the cable company will air several stations from Kingsport, Tenn. The general manager from one of these stations requested the cable company receive his channel at the forum. Lemon noted the general manager has the ability to enforce network non dupli­ cation rights, and he could "require us to blackout WSOC."WSOCis another ABC station that Lxmon said had little follow­ ing in Boone. However, if the cable company carries the station from Kingsport, there will be three ABC stations aired. Lxmon said "Having three ABC stations would be a waste of air space." She continued, 'There are so many channels available for us to choose from." Lemon added that by add­ ing the Kingsport station, "it will give up the public's ability to add other chunnels." 30 ASU students forced to leave due to Gulf Crisis By THOMAS RIGGINS Appalachian News Editor last Friday the Boone unit of the N.C. Nilional Guard was placed on alert. Ten ISO students who are members of that •are preparing to leave. ^ of Monday, 30 students have left ISO or are preparing to leave in order to in the Army Reserves and National ' according to Barbara Daye, ®Jate vice chancellor for student "tlopment. Jl lie total number of students who have uld be higher. Daye said, "We don't l»w many have left withoutcoming ae (Student Development)." Daye explained that students who are in the reserves or guard generally get acall telling them they are on alert and then, 72 hours later are told when to report. "We try to help students salvage as much of their semester as possible,"Daye said. There are many options students can consider. Daye went on to explain that, 'To just withdraw is a waste." Students should first talk with their teachers and explain their problem. Then the student and teacher can decide on the best solution dealing with classes. Daye said there are three options students can choose, "The student and faculty (member) can agree to an incomplete, which means the student is given an extension of time to do work for class; do immediate work, such as turning in projects early or taking exams early; or the student can drop the class without any penalty." Students and teachers may use any option with each individual class. "A mixture of each is possible; I haven't talked to a student yet who was uncomfortable with a decision," said Daye. "We have tried very hard toaccommodate students and to be fair for each one." Gene Persinger, a senior and member of the 1451stTransportation unit based in Boone, said most of his teachers have been very helpful and have been willing to work with him. According to Daye, if students withdraw from school, there is no time limit on their absence. When they finish their serv ice they can come back to school. "It's just the same as a student not coming back or taking a semester off,"said Daye. Daye is also encouraging students who leave to write and give the school their new address so ASU will have arecordof where they are."The Appalachian"hopes to compile the addresses of ASU students called into service and send them copies of the newspaper. The process of preparing to leave can be very hectic for students, according to Daye. Not only are they having to deal with leaving school, but they must also get their personal lives together. Persinger, who was scheduled to graduate in May, is forced not only to leave school, but also his pregnant wife. "The hardest part is leaving my wife and getting financial things in order; I pay all the bills," Persinger said. Jeffrey Brinker, another ASU student who is a member of the Boone unit placed on alert, said, "It's been a hassle but everybody's willing to work with me; I rent my apartment from Holton h•P.P.S. sponsoring angel tree e API»l»chl«n 1 I SUfT Writer at'u'ls children in the local v.,Unity don't have the traditional l^c students at ASU 1 toy u many IWt i °WCVer' a 8rouP of ASU stuto change that.

"We hope to get more and more of a response every year," Ban said. The names were provided by the Watauga County social services. Betsy Richards of Watauga County social services said she is happy the uni­ versity got involved in a project like this. "The Angel tree helps, but it only meets a short-term need. The long-term need still exists," Richards said. She suggested several ways students could meet these needs all year long. "You can assist a local agency. Giving money is one way to help, but volun­ teering time is a good way for a student to help. The HungerCoalition, Hospitality House and Wee Care (day care for those who can't afford it) are all agencies that can use volunteers. Housing and homelessness are the two biggest ongo­ ing needs in Watauga county," Richards stated. "The angel tree is a huge success every year," BarT said. "It provides hundreds of gifts for families to have a Christmas that they ordinarily wouldn't have. It's a huge task." Brinker said he believes his unit will go to Fort Lxe, Va., or Fort Bragg and then be sent to Saudia Arabia. "I've wanted to go, now I can't believe I'm actually going. It's exciting," Brinker said. By RANDALL REININK Appalachian SUIT WrIUr Barr also said some people like giving angels as gifts. "When you take an angel off the tree, your name goes on the tree as a supporter." A student can take an angel off the tree and put a friend's name on the tree. The student can then purchase a gift for the friend, or can give the angel and some money for a gift directly to the friend. "It's a way to spread the feeling around, Barr said "The gifts we collect will go to social services," Barr said. "Then they will distribute them around the county." It's important that gifts get back to A.P.P.S. before the deadline. Gifts are needed at the A.P.P.S. office by Thursday, Dec.6. No gifts will be accepted after this time. A.P.P.S. encour­ ages students to wrap the gifts before bringing them in. Volunteers are needed to distribute the gifts as well. Bonnie Van Nuys, a business student at ASU, has selected an angel off the tree. She picked an angel for a young boy some­ where in the area. "I want to help others," she said, "especially children because they are unable to help themselves. I think the best deeds are those done anonymously." At press time neither Brinker nor Persinger knew when they would be leaving Boone or if they would be sent to Saudia Arabia. Brinker did say, "There's a good chance I'll be receiving a phone call to show up for drill and leave by Saturday or Sunday."

Since the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, almost a quarter of a million American troops have been deployed toS audi Arabia. ASU student Michael R. Ange was sup­ posed to be one of those troops. Instead, Ange has grabbed national headlines by suing the president. Ange's suit asserts that the president has violated the war powers act The war powers act was enacted in 1973, over the veto of President Richard Nixon. The war powers act requires the president to notify Congress 48 hours after he has deployed a large number of troops. If Congress doesn't approve of the deployment within 60 days, the president then has to recall the troops. However, at any time during the 60 days. Congress can require the president to recall the forces. Ange sought a temporary restraining order from U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lam berth inWashington D.C.This request was refused. Ange was then examined by Army doctors at Ft. Lee, Va. Ange has tried to argue that he is unfit for combat due to his medical problems. Ange complains of bad knees and stomach ulcers. The Army doctors could find no ulcers and have cleared Ange for See ANGE page 3 �-Ihe Appalachian Th„rsda\.

Nnvemhpr 7Q IQQn Crime changes campus police /T"DC\ r- . (CPS)—First there seemed to be a ter­ rible change in campus crime nationwide. ow, not so slowly, campuses are changing the way they're defending themselves against crime. ccent months schools have hired more officers, started more sophisticated training programs, expanded their arTest powers and, most controversial of all, begun to arm their people with guns. Letting campus police carry guns is "a logical step to provide better service," maintained John McGinnis, head of se­ curity at Marquette University in Mil­ waukee, whose unarmed officers currently are fighting to become commissioned by the state and thus qualified to cany guns. On the other hand, many students at Millersville University of Pennsylvania, where a debate to arm officers has been raging for years, "don't see any reason for (campus) police to have guns," said Doug Killough, a member of Millersville's student government. Nevertheless, scores of schools are considering it. The State University of New York system, the University of Michigan, Cali­ fornia University of Pennsylvania, Millersville, Marquette and Mesa State College all have considered whether to commission their officers and allow them to carry guns this year. Part of the reason campus police want more power comes from an increased use of weapons in crimes on college cam­ puses, said John Carpenter, public safety officer for San Diego State University and a former president of the Interna­ tional Association of Campus Law En­ forcement Administrators. "We have an arsenal here" of arms confiscated from campus criminals. Carpenter said. But 30 minutes away at the University of Michigan, 250 students in September protested UM s decision to arm its police officers. Students aren't knowledgeable about what commissioningentails," claimed John Serpe, student body president at Marquette, where thecampus isdividedover a proposal Moreover, Carpenter added,"it's really to give their police more powers. frustrating" for college police who don't Similarly, about 49 percent of the stu­ have the power to arrest criminals, or dents atMillersville State said they opposed carry a gun, yet still must confront seria campus police proposal to carry guns, ous crimes on campus. citing worries that gunscould lead to tragic There has indeed been an series of accidents and the there wasn't enough se­ major league crimes for campus officers rious crime to warrant firearms. to battle this fall.

One of the 1II Feaste set in Elizabethan England By WILLIAM PURCELL Appalachian SUIT Writer The ASU school of music will present Ye Olde Madrigal Christmas Feaste in the Broyhill Inn and Conference Center from Nov. 29-Dec. 2. The Feaste begins at 6:30 p.m. with dance, song,drama and fine food. Madrigal dinners are fixtures in many religious, educational and civic institutions as a means of combining dance, music, drama and entertainment with a meal in a setting reminiscent of another time. The time is frequently Elizabethan England, but could be Renaissance Italy, Colonial America or the Gay '90's. In Elizabethan England, gentlemen learned proper manners from reading courtesy books. An­ other essential part of their social education was understanding music and poetry. Musically, the young men were expected to be proficient in sing­ ing and playing an instrument. Henry VIII even refined his singing and musical skills. Partsongs of the day, known as madrigals, were often sung in a casual, relaxed atmosphere at a home, around the meal table or as the evening entertainment. Private enjoyment, not public dis­ play, was the intent. Musical evenings, known as revels, featured courtly entertainment that included masques, dances, musicand/or plays.These revels frequently occurred at Inns of Court, which were law schools where men also learned the gentlemanly arts. In essence, these events offered students at the inn opportunities to practice social behaviors ex­ pected of gentlemen. All the diverse ingredients of the masque—drama, poetry, music and dance con­ tributed to the legal education of students aspiring to be courtiers. The revels were the early harbin­ gers of today's madrigal feaste. This year, the Madrigal Feaste will be set in Elizabethan England with Ye Hoste and Hostess, Lord Robert Dudley and Lady Elizabeth Dudley. Guests in the manor will be the Lord High Chamberlain, William Byrd and all visitors from the Boone community. Saint Nicholas will also stop by to have a talk with the mean old man Black Pete. What would a feast be without wenches, pages and a court jester?They will all be there along with the ASU Chamber Singers and an Early Music Consort. The feast is catered by the Broyhill Inn. The menu, or rather the victuals, include wassail bolle, barleye soup, salade verte tudor, roast beefe with Yorkshyrepuddyng.candeyedsweeteyams, greene benes almonde, rounde of rye, hot scones, prune cayke with rum sause and the traditional boar's head. Musical Director and Coordinator Robert Jones said, "We usually sell all the tickets for the feast Already Friday and Saturday are sold out; you better hurry to reserve tickets for Thursday or Sunday." Tickets are $22 for adults and $11 for children under 12. For more information, contac t the Broyhill Inn and Conference Center.

The spikes surrounding Teeter's sculpture symbolize his family's precautions to protect the TV which even accompanied them on vacations. „ Appalachian Photo by Mcolo Oulnn A QUESTION OF DIRECTION": JimBuonaccosi's sculpture expands on the technological nightmare theme, provoking people to ask, "Where are we going?" The four corners of the sculpturesymbolize the different directions people are given the choice of following. The handleis Buonaccosi's statement that, given a choice, people hang on and let technology lead them. Sculptures reflect technological society By MARK POTTER Appalachian Staff Writer In this age of technology, how many of us really know what is happening in today's society? Ad­ vances in technology are made every day. There are always new gadgets which are invented and mass produced daily with the said attached dis­ claimer, "Convenience making your life easier." On my way to Wey Hall the other day, I noticed two sculptures that address the previously stated question: 'The Myth of Television" and "A Question of Direction," both located in front of Wey Hall. SteveTeeters won first prize in the 1990 Martin & Doris Rosen Annual Sculpture Competition for "The Myth of Television." In case you haven't noticed, this is the piece fabricated from steel and mounted in front of Wey Hall. In his piece. Teeters, a Texas native, addresses the issue of technology dictating our lives. This sculpture was started in response to Teeters' re-occuring childhood memories. According to Teeters, his family bought their first television when he was in elementary school. The television soon became the most prized possession in the Teeters' household. The television was so prized, in fact, that the family would lock all doors and bar the windows to prevent the television from being stolen, and the family also made sure that the television was safe and secure before they left home for vacations. In fact, the family was known to have taken the television with them on their trips. As you can guess, the television became the god of the household; its safety being more important than the family's. Teeters reconstructed this event from his childhood in the present with "The Myth of Television." In this piece, Teeters reconstructed his family's den. The television, which is the focus of the piece, lies in the center surrounded by windows and furniture with spikes sticking out at menacing angles. The spikes are symbolic in that not only did they remind Teeters of his family's precautions to keep people out of the house and away from the television, but it also serves as a trap—a prison keeping the members of the family inside the house. Television has become a prison warden. The chained door backs up this statement in also keeping people from entering or leaving the television "shrine," A remote control is chained to the chair, shackling the prisoner inside his cell. Jim Buonaccosi expands on the technological nightmare with hispiece,"AQuestion of Direction," which is placed at the entrance to Wey Hall. This troubling piece is a concrete and steel terror. With this sculpture Buonaccorsi asks, "Where are we going? Are machines and technology running our lives?" This theme is aptly reinforced by the use of brown and black painted steel, much like the colors you see on factory buildings or garbagedumpsters. These muted tones cast a somber note to this piece. There are four corners to "A Questionof Direc­ tion," symbolizing different directions weare given the choiceof following.The robot typedevice with the handle rests on top of this four-cornered base and represents us, the viewer. The handle sym­ bolizes that we are being led by technology. Most of our information of the outside world comes from television. Are we being manipu­ lated? Teeters' piece poses a valid question for us. We really do rely too much on television. Try reading a newspaper or a book for a change. The next time you pop open your microwave or use a remote control, or even your computer, think about what these up-and-coming sculptors are trying to say. Think about the messages these pieces axe telling you. Do we let technology run our lives/or does it serve us? By the looksof things, we arenow in the position of our faithful pet with our own creation serving as our master.

Catherine O'Hara stars in the supporting role as Kevin's frantic mother Kate who is trying to find a flight home on Christmas Eve. Her many attempts to buy tickets leads to many humorous situations and eventually pairs her with John Candy who offers her a ride home, along with some words of encouragement resulting in even more anxiety for Kate. This portion of the movie is reminiscent of "Planes, Trains and Automobiles." Throughout"Home Alone,"the mixture of snow, Christmas trees, and Christmas carols really sets the tone for the holiday season. Although it is not a movie with a lot of depth and hidden meaning, it is a simple film that is made for entertainment and to remind us how important family is during the holiday season.

State and North Carolina, to being unsure about his team's potential and chances in the conference— all in the span of one day. On Monday, Mance was told that jun­ ior Corey Creech, slated to return as a starter at the 158-pound class where he went 21-7 last year, would be lost for the season. Creech, a Boone National Guardsman, was notified that his division would be activated and sent to Fort Bragg immediately and later sent to Saudi Arabia. "That's a tremendous loss for us," Mance said. "That could be at least a 10-point turnaround in every match. We'll prob­ ably lose three or four matches that we could have won with Creech." miCOUAD ACTION- One-hunHreH.fwPTm, ci. 00 .„ , . ' Appalachian Photo by Kelih Jickion ' "" ^ aid. "If we had known, few months earlier, we could have taken Calloway, a senior, also finished first at the conference tourney last year and will contend again this year. Calloway will fill the 118-pound class again this season after posting a 15-2-2 record in '89-'90. "We may have to gamble to win some matchesnow,"Mancesaid. "Peopledon't realize just how much difference one guy can make. We'll still do alright and we'll be a good team. But, we were hoping to be able to knock off N.C. State or Clemson this year, and I don't think we can do that now." Last year, the Mountaineers lost by two to both the Wolfpack and Clemson. More importantly, ASU went unbeaten in con­ ference matches last year, totally domi­ nating the league en route to a 15-4 overall record. The highwater mark came in the last regular-season match, when the Mountaineers whipped The Citadel 45-0. Such performances may not be possible this year with the loss of Creech, but ASU will be competitive. "It's hard to say what our goals are right now,"Mancesaid. "We werereally looking forward to beating some very good teams this year, but it's not feasible for us to lose a player of Creech's caliber and still be as good. It's hard to say what our season will be like now." iound the Southern Conference Six Mountaineers selected all-conference by coaches c 'N i Stod uni, w,S activated thia week.

There is, however, some good news in theASUcamp. Despite the lossofCreech, there is plenty of talent on the Mountain­ eer squad. While ASU may not be the powerhouse Mance anticipated, the Mountaineers should be a big contender in the Southern Conference. "We feellike wehave agroup of really solid kids coming back," Mance said. "Antonio Calloway will do an excellent job for us. Jevon Morris, who is ranked in the top 20 in the nation, will have a good year. We're also looking for a good year from Bill Sadlo, and Adrian Hines is ranked number 11 in the nation, so he should have a great year." Mance also pointed to the play of se­ nior Mark Barker as a key. Barker, who wrestled at three different weight classes last year, is slated to start at the heavy­ weight classification and should find consistency while wrestling at one posi­ tion in his final seaon. Hines, a junior, could become ASU's leader. Hines finished last season with a 27-5 record, tops on the team. He will be back in the 150-pound class and will be vying to repeat as champion in the SC Championships. lick led the Mountaineers with 94 fa, including 10 for a loss, and Wfour interceptions, returning two Mtdowns.

(However) C8me When we were trying m to run our half court offense, and we simply gaveupa number of interceptions that resulted in easy baskets for them.which were really the difference in the game." Saturday's game marked the first time in almost four years that the Mountaineers played without the services of starting senior point guard Rodney Peel. Peel recently injured his knee and subsequently underwent surgery to repair the damage. It was the first time in Peel's 87 game collegiate career that he did not start for ASU. "I think that anytime you go on the road for a first game, and particularly in the environment we had there, you can't afford to not have your most experienced player," Apke said. "I think the fact that Rodney was injured just a week before the first game meant that of all the things we had been doing and planning on with him in mind, some were just not as effec­ tive for this team without him. I hope that certain players are getting valuableexpe­ rience right no w that they might not have gotten if Rodney was healthy. I hope that's going to make us a better team over the long haul." Peel's prognosis is still day to day. However, he is expected to only miss the first five or six games of the season. While disappointed with the opening game loss, Apke remains very optimistic about the 1990-91 season. "Our main concern after Saturday, in getting ready for our upcoming games, is to do a lot better job of running our offense so that we can get good shots and not turn the ball over," ' >' ' : iK' Waters Named Commissioner Elect Wright Waters, who has served as an assistant commissioner in the Southern Conference for the past two and a half years , was named Commissioner Elect of the league at a press conference last Tuesday. Waters will succeed Dave Hart as commissioner when Hart's current con­ tract expires on July 1,1991. Hart, 65, will retire at the end of his contract. He announced at the league's spring meeting last May that he would not seek an extension on his contract, although he had that option. Waters, 41, came to the Southern conference in July of 1988 from Tulane University, where he served as associate athletic director and interim athletic di­ rector for three and a half years. Since he has been at the Southern Conference, Waters has been responsible for the development of a compliance and eligibility program for the league's in­ stitutions and serves as the conference's liasion with the NCAA Department of Legislative Services and Enforcement . In addition, he has served as the director of the conference championships . Furman captures playoff win The Furman Paladins scored 21 un­ answered points in the fourth quarter to blow past Eastern Kentucky 45-17 in the first round of the NCAA Division I-AA football playoffs Saturday in Richmond, Ky. Eastern Kentucky'sTim Lester scored on aone-yardrun to pull Eastern Kentucky within 24-17 with 13 minutes to play in the contest. The Paladins scored on the first play from scrimmage after Lester's touch­ down, as quarterback Frankie Debusk connected with split end Donald Lipscomb on a 69-yard touchdown strike to push Furman to a 31-17 lead. The Colonels then drove from their own 10-yard line to the Furman 17, but Joey Crenshaw's pass was intercepted by Ivan Johnson in the end zone. Furman drove on a 12-play, 87-yard drive that culminated with Debusk's second scoring toss of the afternoon, a four-yard effort to Paul Siffri, giving the Paladins a 38-17 cushion with 3:23 to go in the game. Billy Whitley added a 34yard touchdown run to give Furman the 45-17 victory. "It got tight there a couple of times ," Furman Coach Jimmy S atterfield said. "But we knew they weren't going to stop us that much." Debusk, the Southern Conference of­ fensive player of the year, threw for 292 yards and two touchdowns and ran eight yards for another score. Tailback Carl Tremble carried 19 times for 140yards, and fullbackBillyStockdalc added 69 yards on 14 carries for Furman. Both scored a touchdown. Lester led the Colonels' attack by rushing 22 times for lilyards and a touchdown. Crenshaw completed 12 of 22 passes for 162 yards. Furman advances to meet Big Sky Conference champion Nevada-Renoin the quarterfinals. The winner of that contest will meet the winner of of the Middle Tennessee State-Boise State clash in the semifinals. Georgia Southern blanks The Citadel Quarterback Raymond Gross threw for 130 yards and a touchdown to lead Geor­ gia Southern to a 31-0 thrashing of The Citadel Bulldogs inlast Saturday's football game in Statesboro, Ga. The Eagles, who led 10-0 at halftime, scored on their first two possessions of the second half to break open the contest. Gross hit Terrance Sorrell on a 35-yard scoring strike on the first possession, and Karl Miller scampered 20 yards for a TD on the second to vault the Eagles to a 24-0 lead at the end of the third quarter. Lester Efford added a seven-yard touchdown run for Georgia Southern to increase the final margin to 31-0. The Bulldogs managed only one first down and were held to just eight yards of total offense in the second half. The contest marked the first time in 51 games The Citadel was held scoreless.

WARD Appalachian Sports Editor The nationally ranked Lady Rebels of Mississippi carried home the championship from the fourth annual AS U Sheraton Classic Basketball Tournament by defeating the host Mountaineer squad 85-64 in Saturday's final. The ladies of Ole Miss, who are ranked 15th in the latest AP Poll, jumped out to a 40-26 halftime lead and led by as many as 29 in the second half to cruise to the 21point victory. "It is no sin to lose to Mississippi by 21 points," ASU HeadCoach Linda Robinson said. "There are going to be other teams that lose to them by as many as 21." Robinson noted the biggest differences between the two squads lie in "size, depth and talent." "They are in the SEC, which is by far the toughest conference in women's basketball," Robinson said. "They have been picked to finish fourth or fifth in that league and are still 15th in the nation." Clara Jackson led the way for the Rebels, coming off the bench to score 22 points in the tourney final. Charlotte Banks chipped in 15 points while teammate Kristen Goehring scored 13. The tournament MVP, Jackie Martin, was the third Ole Miss player to score in double figures, finishing the game with 10. ASU's Shannon Thorn as led all scorers, knocking down 30 points in the championship round.

"She played like the gem that she is­ land) showed that she can piay with anyone in the land." Mountaineer Karen Gruca joined Tho­ mas in double figures, recording 10 points on the day. Robinson said she saw the game as a learning experience and do|pite the outcome, she found the game "encouraging." Robinson said she feels playing a na­ tionally ranked squad this early in the season could prove beneficial down the road. "It will make us a better team in February and March," she said. The all-tournament team consisted of Martin, Thomas, Jackson, Banks and Gail White from Morgan State. The Rebels advanced to the final by knocking off the University of North Carolina-Greensboro, 90-58, in Friday's first round action. ASU moved into the final by defeating Morgan State, 76-63. Martin paced Mississippi with 23 points in the opening game. She was followed by Jackson(14points)andBanks(13). White scored 15 in the losing effort for UNCG. Five Mountaineers scored in double figures in their 13-point, first-round win over Morgan State. 'The balanced scoring is nice and especially encouraging this early in the year," Robinson said. "People know about Shannon (Thomas), but it is very nice when we can haveplayers take the (scoring) load off of her." Three Morgan State players posted double figure games, with Tracy Lewis and Torsha McCarty scoring 12 each. Morgan State went on to fall to UNCG in the tourney's consolation game. White led the way in the 61-45 Greensboro win. �~ 1 fa? Appalachian Thursday. Nnvpmfrer- ?(? joon WHAT? WHERE? WHEN?

COMMENTARY The Appalachian, Thursday, November 29.1990 Next batter up, please! When things do not go according to plan regardless of your efforts, and when your perserverance has turned into spinning your tires, deepening the hole you are in, maybe your only recourse is to punt. What next? A void has been created that will be filled. It is a natural law. I think it is the First Law of Thermo-dynamics. Heat travels from the point of greatest concentration to the point of least concentration. Things have the tendency to go from a less stable state to a more stable state. A void is an unstable state. My point is, when a hole is dug in the ocean, it fills up. If you do not fill the void with what you want it to be filled with, it will be filled anyway. If the decision is to drop out of your degree program, unless you fill that with another degree program, you dropout and fill the void with a job (or the life of a vagrant). The choice may be to expand everything else in your life to cover this empty area. This is often the plan in relationship dissolutions. Of course, there is the option of going into an"alcoholic tail-spin"for the cowardly. I know from whence I speak. Changing plans is not easy. A great deal of hard work went into arriving at the point where you finally realize you can go no farther. It is a cruel joke. It is like running an obstacle course at full speed that only ends in a brick wall. You either change course or you butt you head against the wall. The choice is not always obvious, but it should be obvious that a choice needs to be made. So how do you recover the ball? The tough part is knowing where to go. Counseling is available everywhere on campus. Most professors are more than happy to tell of their experiences. Remember, they were not born with PhD.'s. Friends and family are around, and, if I may jump to the pulpit for a second, ministers are not just religious people. When it comes right down to it, though, it has to come from within. The right choice is out there. The options are bountiful on a college campus. There is no way to decide upon an option unless they are explored. The means by which you arrive at your final decisions are innumberable, but the end is the same: finding the game plan that is the most promising and working hard at it. Remember, you are not looking to settle, but to succeed. Success only comes from hard work. Anything else is just luck, which has a tendency to run out. adversity. Remember who you are and what you stand for. Be true to you. We often try to fight to get back what we have lost. Use that same vigor to fight to survive. Do something to encourage yourself. You owe it to yourself to start again. Unfortunately, whatever you face now will just be prac­ tice for many more recoveries to come. If you are trying to recover the ball here in Boone, you are in the company of people who have punted in a major way, and lived to tell about it. Two professors come in mind immediately: Dr. Gary Durden and Dr. E.V. Bowen, both of the College of Business. Durden told me one day in hisoffice that he attended GeorgiaTech as an engineering If the choice to change plans is made with great cer­ major. He was unhappy with his decision, so he "punted" tainty, run, do not walk, to the nearest exit If you have and went into the Marines. Afterwards, he went back to doubts, explore them. school and now has his PhD. in economics. Beware! It is easy to get comfortable in a set path, even if it is not working. As a youngster growing up on the North Carolina coast, After changing my major from biology, I walked many Bowen had always wanted to work on an ocean-going times through Rankin wishing I was back in lab, unrav­ ship. So this he did until one day his captain advised him eling the mysteriesof the plant world. It was overkill. Do to pursue a life that would be more rewarding. So he, too, not look back.

The list goes on and on. Quite a doing the right thing." He is absolutely right. If you are change from the life of a sailor, right? If he had not punted, in a relationship that is notfulfilling, where you compromise none of this would have been realized. your position constantly, try to work it out. If you can talk to your dating partner and explain your needs and your Life has a lot in store for us. Why drag your feet in desire to fulfill their needs, things will work out, eventually. getting on with your life?

THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON Barbara, you just have to come over and see al . mV eags. The address is: Doris Griswold, 5 feet 4 lnches, .> 160 pounds, brown eyes — I'm in her hair. To the Editor: This commentary is in regard to our soldiers in Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf. About two weeks ago, I met a young guy who was about the age of a typical college student. However, in the coming months, he will resemble much more than the average college student. His name was John; he told me he was visiting friends in Boone for one last time, before leaving for Saudi Arabia. As a Marine stationed at Camp Lejeune, N.C., he knew he would be shipped out soon—to defend his country as a soldier. While in Boone, John and I talked about many things in our chance meeting: the possibility of going to war, life and death, the serenity of these mountains, the memories of our youth, and lastly—the possibility that John might not come back home. It was a very scary conversation. At a college party two weeks ago, John seemed to melt into the college background as a typical Appalachian student. Our lives were totally different though. Conversely, as we continued our academic plans for the futures untold, John's future lay on the frontlines of a strange and unknown land, serving his country and fighting for an important cause—human life. I never caught John's last name, and I will probably never see him again. However, I'll never forget him or what he stands for— and that is, a symbol of freedom and fighting for what you believe in. Before leaving Boone, John left me a note saying goodbye, and also the Then silenced ensued, utter silence, not a sound, not a word. The senses spoke of hopelessness, and peace took wing like a saddened bird, "Peace brother," was the sigh that went unheard, "Hallelujah," was not an answer, only a seconding, only a word... I can't help but see a lot of meaning in his words of wisdom. And as these tedious months in the Persian Gulf progress, I will continuously think of them. As the holidays approach, remember John and our fellow soldiers. Pray for them and their safe return home. Lastly, as I eat Thanksgiving dinner and prepare for the festivities of Christmas with my family, I can't help but think of what these holidays really mean in John's last words, "Peace brother." Heather L. Tewell ASU Box 11834 U.S. personnel in the Persian Gulf need our support during holidays To the Editor: As President Bush continues to build up US military forces in the Middle East, there is also a strong silent undercurrent of disagreement with this projected path towards war. Many people are quietly hoping for a peaceful solution instead. The time has come for those of us who feel this way to speak. We need our opinions to be heard all the way to the top, to the officials elected to serve us. One simple way to show your support for a non-violent outcome is to join in the "White Ribbons for Peace" project. A group of concerned Quakers initiated the project as a way to promote their witness for peace. Pin a white ribbon to your shirt to encourage discussion and share your belief that most of us really don't want to go to war. Tie a white ribbon to the aerial of your car to show that you want peace seriously enough to even pay more for oil if necessary. It is not too late for American to turn aside from this dangerous road we are currently heading down. All peace lovers this is a call to action. Joan MacKenzie Eggert Boone, N.C. No one should restrict a woman's right to bear a child of her very own To the Editor: In response to Ms. Harvey's Nov. 15 commentary, I wish to express the "other side" of the issue of world population. Ms. Harvey's narrowminded, short-sighted attempt to abridge the God-given right of a woman to have as many children as she wishes bridges upon a dictatorship. God is responsible for that right, and only He can give it to or take it away from a woman. God created this beautiful planet, and I find it incredibly unbelievable that He did not plan for this kind of population. Everything has its purpose, and who are we to question it? I also find it very confusing when Ms. Harvey says she believes in as little government as possible. Isn't this the same person who, one week ago, voiced her outright support for Democratic Senate-hopeful Harvey Gantt? Am I the only one who sees a significant contradiction here? Contraception is a religious and very personal belief, and no one has the right to take that away—no one. Not me, not you, not Hope Harvey, not Jesse Helms, not President Bush, and certainly not Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendall Holmes (whom Harvey quotes as saying we should stop "degenerates" from reproducing "their kind" —Beck v. Buck, 1927.) Who are we to say who is "manifestly unfit" to continue "their kind!?" Similarly, none of us have the right to insist upon enforcement of "irreversible sterilization of women...who have more children than they can afford." Who is to say whether they are miserable parents, simply because they don't have much income? Isn't that a bit prejudice? I come from a loving and financially stable family, but I guarantee that there is someone else who was born to a much poorer family than I, and has or will become a much better person than 1.1 can also promise that there is also someone from a richer family that will never know what love is or how to make a living or how to make their own decisions without mommy and daddy's money. It is true that the pregnancy/birth rate for unmarried and poverty-stricken women is frightful, but Ms. Harvey's attitude brings to mind many versions of the same cliche: the harder you pull on the horse's reigns, the more likely you are to get thrown off. In other words, if we mandate who can and can't bring a life into this world and how many of those precious souls can inhabit our planet, something, somewhere will backfire, and we can be assured we will be even worse off than we are now. Child neglect, abuse and molestation are malicious, thoughtless crimes, but legislation on reproduction is not the answer. The fact is, there should not be any control over who can reproduce, or how many children any one woman should be allowed to bring into this world. Is this China? Or is this America? Scott E. Schnegelbcrger ASU Box 16694 North Carolina workers want freedom of speech without fearing dismissal To the Editor: Ina Mae Best was fired from her job of 18 years. In those 18 years, she was never late for work. In the past10 years, she had not missed a day of work. And in the last six years, she has not had a vacation. The reason such a valuable person would be fired is because of her beliefs. She believed that having the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union represent workers at Goldtex Inc. would help win the dignity and wages the workers deserved. During the attempt to get the ACTWU certified, the company used different means to pressure workers to vote against See LETTERS page 10 �y ilL -The Appalachian Thursday Nnvpmhrr 79 IQQf) Letters of the lettersalso should be sent to Ina Best c/o Black Workers for Justice, PO Box 1863, Rocky Mount, NC 27802. ontinued from page 9 ;he union.

Mr. Laney has served in every position from graduate assistant football coach to associate athletic director, and he is now the interim athletic director. He cares about the university and promotes all departments working together. He is not the kind of person that you will see closed up in an office behind a desk. You can always see him taking an active roll at all athletic events. The perfect replacement is right under our nose You would think that events at ASU would take all of his time, but he gives to the community by officiating high school sports and works with the Boy Scouts. I could go on and on about his qualifications. To the Editor: I realize that the administration may have to advertise outside the university for the vacancy in the athletic directors position, but I hope they don't make the mistake of hiring from outside. It is easy to see that Mr. Laney is the right person to hire as athletic director. ASU would suffer a great loss if someone else were hired for the job. Recently the SGA Student Senate passed unanimously a resolution of support for Mr. Laney. We have a more than qualified person for that job already here at ASU. That man is Mr. Roachel Laney. Mr. Laney's 15 years of dedication and service to ASU should not go unrecognized. He Randy D. Yelton ASU Box 18736 Classifieds TWO BEDROOM CONDO AT KELLWOOD II. Beautiful view. Available Dec. 15.

Hie Yuletide Festival, which begins ov.30, will include workshops and the psti»a] of Trees as well as new events as "Dickens Alley" in downtown Boone. One of the workshops that begins on 1 will allow participants to construct •pbread houses. Another workshop •illleach the art of painting ceramic fig•esihatcanbe used for tree decorations, -omshuck dolls can be made on Dec. 4, while another group will learn how to create herbalgarlands, wreaths and candle rings using herbs. However, due to the public demand, three workshops are already closed. But for the children's gingerbread workshop, the com shuck doll workshop and the herbal workshop, waiting lists are avail­ able. Cindy Rice, secretary to director of adult programming said, "We've been real pleased with all of the workshops. There is a lot of enthusiasm." She also noted the purpose of the adult gingerbread workshop is focused toward teachers, who can take the things they learn back to the classroom. Rice offered hope for those who might be less than artistic. "I am not artistic at all, and I was able to make ceramic angels," Rice said. For more information on any of the workshops, call 262-3043. Additional holiday events will begin Nov. 30 with a fireworks display near Arby's on Blowing Rock Road. Then on Nov. 29-Dec. 2 the school of music's Madrigal Feaste will take place at the Broyhill Inn. The feast, which has been a sellout for the past 10 years, is already booked for Nov. 30 and Dec. 1. Bob Jones, the director of the ASU chamber singers, said the feast "involves short skits, music and food." He also commented that the celebration came about during the English Renaissance and the costumes at the dinner will reflect that time period. Jones also said a dress rehearsal will be held on Nov. 28 for students who would like to see the Madrigal celebration. Tickets for the event are $3, not including the feast. Another dinner will be held Nov. 30 at 8 pm at the Trillium Ballroom at the Broyhilllnn. Thedinner, an Appalachian Christmas' first Candlelight Christmas dinner, will be held in the midst of about 30 professionally decorated trees. The tickets must be purchased in advance, and the proceeds will benefit ASU's AppalachianCulturalMuse um.Afterwards,craft items donated by local artists will be auctioned and entertainment will be pro vided.

Graduation planned By RANDALL RFININK Appalachian StafT Writer Thechillof fall is in the air,Thanksgiv­ ing will soon be here; it's time to start thinking about...graduation. Graduation? Yes, graduation. For some students their graduation takes place in December. According to the office of the registrar, there will be approximately 850-900 stu­ dents eligible to graduate this December. As of mid-November, 754 undergradu­ ates and 120 graduate students have ap­ plied for gradua­ tion. That total is up from 630 graduates last December. Graduation will take place in Varsity Gym. Due to the rela­ tively small number of graduates, the students will not be split up into their respective colleges. Instead, they will gradu­ ate together. It will take approximately two hours for all graduates to receive their diplomas. Graduation will begin at 1 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 9. dent to graduate in December," McLeod said. Many students have completed their requirements for graduation during the summer. Since summer school has no graduation ceremony, these students are eligible to march during the December commencement. The commencement speaker for the December graduation is Dr. Nathan Simms Jr., vice president for student services and special programs at UNC-General Ad ministration. Seby S.

"Years ago 90 percent of the students that started in the fall would graduate in the spring. Today's students don't follow the same lock-step pattern that they followed a gen­ eration ago.

The voice of ASU Spanish professor and lan­ guage department chairperson Hector Romero can be heard throughout the classroom as he walks back and forth questioning students. To them he is a role model, a man who always seems to know the answers. But Romero is a very modest person who has very little to say about himself or his accomplish­ ments. Romero said, "I would prefer for others to evaluate whatI've done. I don't want to pay homage to myself." Since his arrival at ASU four years ago, Romero has accomplished many things. He stated the department has had a significant increase in the graduate and undergraduate enrollment. Also, there has been a larger number of grants received, causing the overall quality of the department to improve.

Even though he teaches several of the advanced Spanish classes, Romero has no problem with self—Hector Romero motivation. He commented, "I react Spanish Professor to the material I teach and to the student body. Teaching is not something that you have to force yourself to do. That's the difference between good teachers and bad teachers." Teaching is not something that you have to force yourself to do. That's the difference between good teachers and bad teachers. 99 New scholarship given Romero's teaching methods are also very unique for a college professor. "I don't leach my students as a group," Romero stated. "I consider each one of them personally. I get to know them because that is the best way to teach a student." In the classroom, Romero commented that he tries to engage students in the subject matter by keeping their attention. He does this by moving around and making students feel that their input is needed. And the students are important to the Spanish professor. "The students here are serious; they want to learn, and they are verycourteous," Romero noted. While he is unwilling to talk about his achieve­ ments, Romero accredits his success to discipline where his career is concerned. He said,"Discipline is essential in the development of a person's goals. If there is no discipline, it is hard to reach your goals."

A recent project the organization undertook is the painting of the crisis center for OASIS. The club also weatherized the building and cleaned out a storage shed. The club usually does six to seven projects a semester, counting fund-raisers. Rick Thome, a member of MSC, said, "95 percent of the money the organization takes in is given away." Recently the club has been raising money for a new cause. The Men's Service Club, along with its little sisters, is offer­ ing a $200 minority scholarship. The MSC scholarship is the first .. , - which means the scholarship will be given out of the interest accrued. The MSC plans to raise an excess of $200 every year for the fund, with the initial $200 being given in the form of a scholar­ ship. This will continue until the fund becomes endowed. This year, MSC has accomplished its goal and will be awarding the scholarship for the first time in December. In order to be eligible for the scholarship, students must be Afro-American with at least a 2.0 GPA and 12 hours of credit. The selection committee is composed of three faculty members: Dr. James McDowelle, adviser of MSC and chairperson of the committee; Dr. Zaphon Wilson, assistant profes­ sor of political science; .And Mary Quinn, coordi­ . . nator of university tuto­ rial services. The MSC encourages all those eli­ i i i • gible to apply. The com­ mittee takes such factors as work experience, lead­ ership experience, orga­ nizational involvement and career goals into con­ sideration. The deadline to submit applications is Dec. 6, 1990. Applications can beobtained from the finan­ cial aid office, the Black Student Association of­ fice on the second floor of Workman Hall and the Learning Assistance Program office in D.D. Dougherty.

The MSC feels theadministration spends alot of time and money recruiting minority students, but little is done to help retain these same students from year to year. 99 The MSC and the ASU Foundation have set up a scholarship fund.

Physical education takes on a new name (CPS)—Once upon a time, students took gym. At more formal schools, they took physical edu­ cation. _ But thanks to a decision by the College and University Physical Education Council, collegians probably never will take "gym" or even "physical education" again. Or when they do, it will be called something very different. Physical education faculty members nationwide are searching for a new name for their discipline. Few, however, can agree about what the new name should be. "The (physical education) name worked against the development of scholarly inquiry,"said Michael Wade, head of the kinesiology department at the University of Minnesota, of the impulse to change names. Wade, not surprisingly, wants everyone to re­ name their discipline kinesiology, which literally means the study of movement. But other colleges call it "exercise science" or sport science" or even "movement science." Still other campuses call it "health and physical recreation," "physical education and leisure" and any number of derivations. In 1988, a conference sponsored by the Big Ten and the National Academy of Sports and Physical Education included several discussions about the naming issue.

Now the College and University Physical Edu­ cation Council, a part of NASPE, is promoting discussion on the issue at professional training programs as well as printing articles on the subject in various trade journals. "The primary reason for sensitivity to the name (physical education) was the growth of the field and an increase in knowledge" in areas associated with physical education, said Judy Young, executive director of NASPE. Young explained that many in the Field found the term "physical education" misleading because people associate it only with sports and not the other aspects of the profession. However some names are not good substitutes. Young added. "The dancers (at one school) got pretty upset when they became part of sports science," she said. Young said NASPE does not have a name it prefers. The movement to get rid of the term physical education has been underway for about 25 years, Wade said. "Physical education has suffered as an academic enterprise because of its association with athletics." "It's been going on for a few years," agreed Joseph Higgins, a professor in the department of movement science and education at the Teachers College at Columbia University. His department was among the first to get away from the physical education tag, changing to its present name 13 years ago. Wade predicts "practice and tradition will dic­ tate" which name wins the most converts. "Kinesiology, I think, will win theday,"he adds, noting the universities of Colorado, California at Berkeley and Los Angeles, and all Texas state campuses already have adopted the name. \ �1 he Appalachian Tuesday Ncveniber •?() joq/i r SMOKING Court hears cases XIassifieds center f, it will kill you WHEN YOU DON T HAVE TIME FOR THE PAIN, By AVERY WAGONER Appalachian Staff WrIUr Cases dealing with alcohol seemed to dominate the proceedings as nine of 13 cases heard in student court Wednesday involved the general statute 2.129 of un­ der age possession of alcohol. All nine were found guilty and the probationsgiven ranged from three months for the lesser offenses to 10 months for the most serious offense. Each case involving alcohol also carried a fine, and the students were ordered to attend an alcohol awareness workshop. Three students were found to be in violation of general statute 2.112 (drunk and disorderly). One student was given a seven-month probation period while an­ other was given probation until his graduation. The student received a serious penalty because he also violated statutes 2.130 (harassment), 2.107 (failure to comply), 2.129 (under age possession) as well as the general statute involving assault and battery.

Williams en­ tered the contest with a JMU record of 1,822 total yards on the season and was coming off a 260-yard effort against Wil­ liam and Mary last Saturday. "Our defense had worked hard all week in practice on containing their quarter­ back," Moore said. James Madison appeared jxrised to take the lead near the end of the first quarter, as they drove from their own 33-yard line to the Appalachian 13. However.

The Mountaineers took over on the JMU 22 with :46 to play in the first half. On second down, Campbell fired a completion to J.K. Reaves for a 17-yard gain to the Duke two-yard line.The Dukes were penalized for roughing the passer, giving the Mountaineers first-and-goal on the one-yard line. Campbell then snuck through for his second touchdown of the afternoon. Millson's point after gave the Apps a 14-0 lead at the half. James Madison again threatened to score late in the third quarter. The Dukes em­ barked on a 12-play drive that moved the ball to the ASU four-yard line. On thirdand-goal, JMU backup quarterback Tom Green lofted a pass into the end zone, but Mountaineer linebacker Rico Mack nabbed an interception and dashed 100 yards down the left sideline for a touch­ down. Millson added the extra point to give the Mountaineers a 21-0 lead at the end of the third quarter. "I didn't know how long of a return it was," Moore said. "But 1 knew when he got to the five or six-yard line he was gone. No one was going to catch him." Mack's interception return tied aschool record set by John Hollar, who had 100 yard interception returns against Elon in 1946 and Western Carolina in 1948. Early in the fourth quarter, James Madi­ son pushed the ball to the Mountaineer 27yard line, where the drive stalled. The Dukes decided to go for it on fourth-andnine, but Green fumbled the snap and recoverd on the 33, where ASU took over.

Rne that player as a preseason Allmference pick, a good scorer, ball Idler, passer and great long-range •ft Now imagine losing him just a days before the start of basketball ason. That is what Head Coach Tom Apke tdthe ASU basketball team are having deal with right now. Rodney Peel, the Mountaineers' starting shooting guard last season, tore a ligament in his left knee last week in practice and will be out at least three weeks. According to Apke, with "rehabilitation and a brace, Rodney could see action in about three weeks." As with any serious knee injury, how­ ever, there is the possibility Peel could miss the entire season, in which case he would receive a medical redshirt. But, as Apke said, the ultimate decision "is up to Rodney. He has to decide what he wants to do." The Mountaineers will surely miss Peel during his absence. The 6 foot guard set a school record with 75 steals last season and is 16th on the ASU all-time scoring list. He has started all 87 games of his college career and is one of the best threepoint shooters in school history. Defen­ sively, Peel will be missed immensely, as he has always put great pressure on the ball. Peel has been recognized for his tena­ cious defense by the coaches in the league, being picked as the preseason defensive player of the year in the conference. He is just three steals shy of eclipsing the ASU career theft mark. The team acknowledges the fact that Peel's presenceon the court will be missed. Sophomore forward Steve Spurlock said, "Brod(erick Parker), Ed (Ward), Billy (Ross), myself and Tim (Powers) will have to take up some of the (scoring) slack. But we play as a team, and we'll have to keep doing so." Ward, a senior guard, will shoulder much more responsibility with Peel out of the lineup. Defensively, Ward will pres­ sure the ball, and offensively, he will run Ross will probably be looked to for the the show for the Apps. Ward proved outside threat that Peel represents.

Saturday not only gave the Paladins the Southern Conference title and Division I-AAplayoff bid, but also knocked the ASU Moun­ taineers out of the playoff picture. Furman got off to a quick start in the contest, grabbing a 10-0 lead at the end of the first quarter and pushing the margin to 20-0 at halftime. The Paladins racked up 327 yards of total offense in the first half, led by sophomore running back Carl Tremble, who amassed 99 yards at intermission, and quarterback Frankie Debusk, who completed 11 of 16 passes for137 yardsin the first half. The Citadel came back in the third quarter with a touchdown run by Everette S ands, a 44-yard scoring strike from Jack Douglas to Cornell Caldwell, and a Howard Barnard 37-yard field goal cutting the Furman lead to 27-17 at the end of the third quarter. Also, after gaining 20 pounds in the off-season on a weight-training program, center Tim Powers pulled down 14 boards to lead all rebounders in the game. 'Tim (Powers) got comfortable in the second half and really dominated the boards," Apke said. Powers agreed, saying, "My shots didn't fall early, but I'll take 14 rebounds every night." The Mountaineers as a team outrebounded the Swedes 35-29. The contest also provided ASU's freshmen the chance to get over firstgame jitters. Ricky Nedd, a 6 foot 7 inch forward, knocked down six points and grabbed five rebounds in 23 minutes of action, while Jeff Williams had four points, two assists and one steal. Both showed a hint of their athletic ability during the game—Williams with great quickness on defense and Nedd with a high-flying dunk. Gvm seemed to provide good leadership for the younger players. Sophomore Joe Sabato should see more playing time at point guard, and freshman Jeff Williams will be asked to contribute also. While Ross can shoot the bomb. Ward can play defense and run the offense and Sabato and Williams also can help take pressure off the others, Peel will be missed. With him gone, the Apps are missing a veteran player who can defend, shoot and pass. According to Apke, the team will have to "change its identity without Rodney." From the bleachers identity (by losing Peel), we did OK," Apke said. "We gotsome good stuff from everyone...but there's a lot of room for improvement." The "good stuff' Apke mentioned in­ cluded the play of Ward, who started at point guard for the injured Peel. Ward dished out seven assists while turning the ball overonly one time, as well as putting good defensive pressure on the ball. The improvements Apke mentioned obviously include free-throw shooting (47 percent) and turnovers (15). Also, the Apps will continue to make adjustments due to Peel's absence. The Mountaineers have a few days to iron out these problems, with their next game scheduled for Nov. 24 at Arkansas State. The Apps' next home game is Nov. 28 when Belmont Abbey visits Varsity Soder Basket Thursday and the sopho­ more does have a good outside shot. Ross made theSouthern Conference All-Fresh­ man team last season and hit 20 treys on the year. Besides Peel, Ross is the only proven long-range threat the Apps have.

Ross scored 13 points in the 71-58 Appalachian win The Citadelcould come no closer than 10 points, and Furman pulled away to win 30-17. Tremble finished the afternoon with 30 carries for 202 yards and two touch­ downs. The Paladins rushed 67 times for 387 yards and three touchdowns. Full­ back Billy Stockdale added a seven-yard touchdown run for thePaladins. Furman's strong rushing attack enabled the Pala­ dins to keep possession of the ball fot 37:27, almost 15 minutes longer than The Citadel. Debusk completed 15 of 22 passes for 207 yards and one interception for Furman, who accumulated 594 yards of total offense. Placekicker GlenConn ally added three field goals for the Paladins, who clinched their eighth league title since 1980. Marshall tops Western The Thundering Herd of Marshall re­ lied on an air attack Saturday, as quar­ terback Michael Payton completed 27 of his 35 passes for 347 yards and three touchdowns en route to a 42-14 win over Western Carolina. Payton's projectiles propelled the Herd in the third quarter, as the game was converted from a 7-7 tie to a 28-7 contest with Marshall leading. After playing to a deadlock through the first two quarters, Orlando Hatchett broke the tie as he scored from two yards out with 11:15 to go in the third. The game ended the season for both squads, Marshall concluding the year with a 4-3 league mark and a 6-5 overall record. The Catamounts finished 2-5 in the con­ ference and 3-8 overall. VMI records first league win The Keydets of Virginia Military picked up their first conference win of the year Saturday, surpassing EastTennessee State, 21-20, in the game's final moments. VMI's Tony Scales darted into the end zone from seven yards away with 1:18 to go in the contest. The touchdown knotted the score, and then Wade Hawkins' extra point secured the victory. The Buccaneers broke a 14-14 tie with 14:21 to go when Randy Meredith con­ nected with David Rockhold for a 43-yard touchdown scoring toss. The extra point attempt failed as the snap sailed past the ho.der. The miscue proved costly 13 minutes later as VMI took the win. �The Appalachian Tuesday.

They're destroying the First Amendment! I can do what I want, say what I want and live how I want. I'm an American and I've got rights, you know?" During how many rallies have thousands, even millions of Americans shouted this battle cry? Placard-carrying students, workers, professionals and artists march for the First Amendment. They want their rights. With these questions in mind, let's take a look at the First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establish­ ment of religion, or prohibiting the exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the rights of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Excitement over the Constitution and especially the First Amendment in regard to art has heated up over the last year to the boiling point Recently, Andres Serrano's photograph of a crucifix in a glass in urine, Karen Finley's stage show which consisted of defecating on the stage and The examples of "art" given above certainly meet Mr. rubbing chocolate over her nude body and other images of Davis' criteria. The purpose of these works is to destroy the contemporary art scene crashed to the forefront of the the reverenced, desecrate the beautiful, confuse stability media, and people began murmuring the "C" word— and order. What is "art?" censorship. Famous realist and artist Philip Pearlstein says that "art represents the highest aspirations of humanity." These Jesse Helms led the way in attacking the irreverent particular works of Serrano and Finley hardly match Mr. works that truly shocked all of America (evidenced by the Pearlstein's definition.Could they becalled reflections of cover of "Newsweek," July 2, 1990). Helms wanted to intellectual anarchy? Aren't the Constitution and the Bill limit federal funding to artists who produced "obscene" of Rights designed to be a fortress against anarchy? works. The National Endowment for the Arts was asked by Helms and other government officials to closely screen Barbara Dority, the director of the Washington Coali­ recipients of their (our) funds. Can you expect any other tion Against Censorship, stated in the "Humanist," Nov./ response as Karen Finley sits on stage doing things that Dec. 1989,"The First Amendment does not say there is to can't even be listed in this article—chiming, "Here are be freedom of speech and press provided they are not your tax dollars at work?" sexually explicit, offensive, dangerous or degrading." Enter the artists and other First Amendment activists Does this mean that we need to produce things that are who claim the government has no right to tell them what dangerous? How about degrading? they can and cannot read, look at, produce or think. The First Amendment is on trial.The people on both sides are According to some people, we have a constitutional afraid. Why? right to degrade our own minds and the minds of others, Why is the art community up in arms about the possible "tightening" of the First Amendment? Douglas Davis, a contemporary artist writing for "Art in America," May 1990, says that this tightening-up of the First "could dilute the brashness and irreverence that characterizes the best contemporary American art." Do the majority of Ameri­ cans really desire America to be known for "irreverence" and "brashness?"Mr. Davis went on to say how "intellec­ tual anarchy" should be allowed to continue. Does the First protect intellectual anarchy? Take note that the first section of this amendment deals with the importance of protecting value systems in our society. Some would argue that value systems aren't worth protecting anymore. They hinder liberty. But what did Albert Einstein foresee when he said, "The student must acquire a feeling for values. We must understand the right and wrong. If we develop only the intellect, we are like a trained dog"? According to the First, the artist and each individual has the right, protected by law, to express his or her ideas and opinions. Wecan openly discuss whatever topic we want. Each of us can write, paint, sculpt anything, as long as it doesn't hurt another person's rights. Let's look at the often overlooked Ninth Amendment. "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."The Constitution has a built-in "don' t twist your rights in a way that will detract from the rights of other people" clause. Too many groups of rights supporters are not really fighting for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights of the United States. They are fighting for their own Carte Blanche license to do what they want to do, no matter who it offends or hurts. The First does need to be defended from too much governmental control. But is it defended to help America or only selfish individual interests? if they're consenting. We can produce things that are "dangerous" to the mind, according to Ms. Dority. Is that in the Constitution? Is there something wrong in having Should there be censorship? Definitely no.

See PROTECT page 8 It's time to fall back and punt By CHRISTOPHER OATES Appalachian Staff Wrltar In one of my favorite, however unreal­ istic, movies, "The Secret of My Success," Michael J. Fox enters the office of his would beboss. This frantic senior executive welcomes the new junior executive to the firm and immediately fires him due to the recent hostile takeover of the firm. When Fox asked him what he was supposed to do, the gruff senior executive replied, "Punt!" then he walked out. Now, I know just a little more about football than I do about astrophysics, but the concept of punting seems relatively basic. In football, when the course of ac­ tion to achieve the set goal is not working there needs to be another course of action taken. This action is often getting the problem as far away from you as possible. The key is to work as hard as possible, but know when it isn't working. When it just is not working, punt. When I came to ASU back in the latter half of the last decade, visions of a Ph.D. in biology danced in my head.Since I was a freshman in high school, I had taken every science course offered, and even took classes at a community college at night. I was doing just fine until I earned the only two F's I have ever received in my life: Botany I—twice. It was fourth and 20 as far as I was concerned. I punted! It was not easy. My love for biology did not die, just my dream. I am still here as a business major. It meant one year longer thanl had planned on, but it was a wise "punt." This is not to say that I am the All-American success story, but I know from where I speak. Punting is not an easy thing to do. In the biology department, I had all the encour­ agement in the world. After receiving that kind of attention, it was difficult for me to leave the department. It was easier to do knowing that it was in my best interest. (Note: Easier is not the same thing as easy.) The first thing I needed to do was es­ tablish that I was doing what was best and stick to it. Compromising my position further would have only been more detri­ mental. It was time to start over. The liberal arts people seem to believe that the purpose of education is to teach people to think. Even in the business school, the consensus seems to be to make students more trainable. The wisdom and the building of character that carrying out a difficult punt brings is invaluable to education. We will all face punt situations for the rest of our lives. That ideal job may not be so ideal after all. Buying that high mainte­ nance automobile that is just beyond your means, may really be hard to put on the blocks. My favorite example is the Bay of Pigs incident. All the president's advisers later admitted that they did not believe in the plan, but noone would take the initiative to punt. Now, most of us will never be faced w ith a decision situation like existed in the Cuban Missile Crisis, but the crisis decisions we will face will be as real. College is a good place to begin making these decisions. Punt situations where emotions are in­ volved are harder, but are even more im­ portant to make. Being at a university with around 5,000 people of the opposite sex within a prime age range, many people find that someone special. The problem that exists with punting is not as much in exposure to new people, but in develop­ ment. We all change tremendously be­ tween the freshman and senior years. The person you met as a freshman is not always the person you now know as an upper classman. What do you do? If you are losing the dream and part of yourself in the process, maybeyouneed to getyour punter warmed up. Other options exist; at least 4,999 more options. One important thing to remember in reflection of this article. I do not advocate throwing everything you have worked for away. Just do not exert the energy to beat a dead horse. Life is far too short to stand still and stagnate. We must all go forward. Unless such schools exists as Harvard High or Oxford Middle School, it is dif­ ficult for a student to have had the expo­ sure in high school to as many things as they haveat amajoruniversity. As students, we are exposed to more in our college careers; therefore, our range of options increases. It issenseless to get locked into a path that is not working when options exist. College is the best time to be flexible because there is so much offered to the students. However, being flexible is often like most other things—easier said than done. It is not easy, but no one ever said college is easy. Punting builds character. Punting en­ hances life. Of course, the flip side of the coin is that it sometimes takes a while to reap the benefits of this difficult game plan, even though the rewards are long lasting. Today's pain is tomorrow's tri­ umph. It is important to realize that we did not inheritour lives from our youth, but, in fact, we are borrowing ourselves from our future—just like the federal deficit.

A small percentage of North Americans arc angry that they no longer pull the Iraqi strings, and they fear losing money and power. Thus, they send our brothers and sisters to be ready for killing and dying, beginning with our most innocent and trusting youth who believe in the laughable principles. Between the forces of anger and fear comes action. A growing anger bom of confirmed suspicions, conflicting behaviors and perceived lies gives way only to the fear of losing the brothers and sisters whom we do love. Thus begins the rumbling of counter action. We want our brothers and our sisters at home—where we can hold them in our arms. The laughable principle: that the U.S. government seeks to combat aggression against the weak. South Africa? El Salvador? Central America? The U.S. government more often has a history of funding, it not creating, the aggression. And it would be laughable, if the young did not have to die for old money. Something ascends, and it has claws. Hold on, brothers and sisters, and don't let go. Lesley Bullard ASU Box 15936 Students should protest Operation Desert Shield To the Editor: When many of us think of the Vietnam conflict era, we think of student protest and realize that eventu­ ally these protests helped lead to end the conflict. We arc now faced with the Persian Gulf crises. We are aware the situation exists, and we understand basically what is happening. We are being told that our troops are there to protect Saudia Arabia, but the present build up of troops shows a shift to possible offense instead of defense. If we let it be known that we do not support Operation Desert "Shield" now, we can hopefully do something to stop it before many lives are wasted—for cheap gas. We are looking for peaceful ways to protest this situation that could have been avoided if we had: 1. Found alternative energy sources. 2. Had stricter energy policies 3. Forced car makers to make more energy efficient cars This situation cannot be solved by fighting a man that we gave power to because of our short-sighted energy policies. Most of us were bom in "war" time. Do we want to die during war time also? We urge everyone to discover his own way to peacefully protest the situation and to share his ideas. Student protest is needed once again. Tom Eure P.O. Box 08390 Dana Evans P.O. Box 12543 �1he Appalachian Tuesday Nnyem}vr Protect Have a newsworthy idea?

P-3 P-J_ Fairness, Accuracy and Public Service Since 1934 APPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY, Boone, NC 28608 Repairs needed As steam plant proves costly for ASU By THOMAS RIGGINS Appalachian Nam Editor ASU's steam plant will need major renovations before any new building projects can take place, with or without the proposed Student Activity Center. Dr. Ward Zimmerman, vice chancellor for business affairs, said, "We would have to work on the steam plant even without building the proposed SAC." The steam plant's remodeling has been proposed to the state through the normal budget pro­ cess for over a decade, Zimmerman ex­ plained. The university has four boilers with the capacity to bum wood chips, coal and number six and number two oil. "We have converted tocoal and number twooil for environmental reasons," Zimmerman said. (TEAM PLANT: Before ASU can expand, the steam plant will require major renovations. The steam plant was brought up rning the SAC. According to Dr. Ward Zimmerman, plans for remodeling have been slated for over a decade. A possible oiil would be to combine all four stacks into one stack and include a scrubber to clean emissions. "When we converted to number two oil and coal, wehad to have theplant inspected by the state,"Zimmerman said. After the inspection, theplant was neither approved nor disapproved by the state concerning air quality. Zimmerman said, "They wanted us (ASU) to do an investigation on the emissions of the steam plant." Zimmerman also said ASU could not ex­ pand until the unversity proves the steam plant is in compliance with regulations. Zimmerman believes the steam plant emissions are cleaner than in the past becaase the procedure for burning coal now is much cleaner. "Our coal system bums very efficient and clean; we are putting out far less pollution now," he said. In order to investigate the emissions of the steam plant, the weather in Boone must be monitored. For the steam plant to bum 100 percent efficiently, which means the plant is burning cleanly, the tempera­ ture needs to be cold. According to Zimmerman, ASU is cur­ rently buying equipment that will monitor weather conditions for the next five years to see if the steam plant is in compliance with air quality standards in North Caro­ lina. When the study is completed, Zimmerman said the stale will audit the information and must approve every step, he said it is typical for a university to do this sort of thing because of tire available talent and resources to do the study. Zimmerman's speculation for im­ provements concerning the steam plant involve combining all four stacks with one generator and using a scrubber to clean the stack's emissions. The cost for the plant is a capital ex­ panse and will be incurred by ASU. Zimmerman said, "We have several funding sources; I am in favor of turning to thestate." Chapel Hill ran into problems with its steam plant and worked with the state for a solution. According to Zimmerman, Chapel Hill received $95 million for a new steam plant. According to Zimmerman, any im­ provements for the steam plant will not affect tuition. "This is a capita] im­ provement, and NC. tuition helps offset operating costs," Zimmerman said. iGA senators discuss issues concerning campus clubs By CHRISTY CONLEY Appalachian Staff Writer bend special reports given to the SG A pie Tuesday night brought to light Ml university programs, n Norket, director of Mountaineer It, reported on the status of the orMtion.

He encouraged senators and other students to bring canned goods and clothing to donate. Schmotzer said the drive was going fairly well, but expressed concern that some students were helping themselves to the donated goods from the residence hall drop boxes. "There's a tendency for students who feel they 're needy to grab a couple cans of food out of the boxes," Schmotzer said. "It's not funny because we 're doing this vised 167 students this semester.

The case does pose a difficult legal question, Lamberth said, about President Bush's power to send troops to a combat zone without a congressional declaration of war. Ange and his lawyers argue that Bush does not have the authorization from Congress required by the Constitution. Center for Constituitiona!Rights attorney Michael Ratner, who is Ange's attorney, argues that the order to deploy Ange violates the 1973 War Powers Act. The Constitution makes the president commander-in-chief of the armed forces, including National Guard troops called into federal service and gives Congress the power to declare war. The War Power Act requires the presi­ dent to notify Congressof any substantial new deployment forces overseas and re­ quires him to win congressional approval or withdraw troops within 60 days if he sends them into combat or into situations where hostilities are imminent. Ratner said Lamberlh's refusal to stop Ange's depolyment, expected this week, would not render the case moot because the lawsuit also seeks his return from the Middle East. Lamberth also refused Ange's request to bar his deployment on the grounds that he is medically unfit to serve in combat, saying that "courts are not given the task of running the Army." Lamberth scheduled a hearing for Dec. 10 to consider the request for a permanent injunction. This is the third case involving the Persian Gulf deployment to approach the formal hearing stage.

There are about 10 students currently in the IDS program under its new format. John Magers, a sophomore and an RA in East Residence Hall, is one of the students who has chosen IDS's new ma­ jor. Magers said, "It's a better way to get all the stuff you want or need." Magers was looking for a course study that would meet his individual goals. The chairper­ son of IDS informed him of the new program and its possibilities. Magers' concentration is environmental policy and planning. Williamsen said, "The 13 different concentrations give students a breadth of options. The purpose of the new major is to give ASU students the opportunity to combine courses from several departments in a carefully designed program of study." Williamsen said," We tried to create a diversity of opportunities for ASU stu­ dents." The new program offers various paths to meet the needs of every student. Williamsen went on to explain that, "Experiential learning, experimentation and innovation in teaching and learning styles lead to the development of a flex­ ible, progressive and integrated curricu­ lum model. Interdisciplinary studies en­ courages students and faculty to develop a generalises integrated view of the world, a view which allows one to leant, teach and research across the boundaries sepa­ rating academic disciplines."

"I've been trying to portray Eilert with the motivations and feelings that he would react with in situations. I've needed to know thecharacter's background and what the character's motivations would be," Fussell said. "In rehearsals we get ready for the technical things, but when I am on stage I have to try and become a struggling author in the 18th century," Fussell said. "This is a serious play about a strong and dominant woman," Cole said. "The students are doing a fine job with the emotional content of Henrik Ibsen's fa­ mous play. I know that it is complex and demanding for them." Hedda seems to be the dark and brood­ ing side of many of us. Her deceitful and malicious nature seems to make even the devil look nice. This is a serious play, but to watch Poole's performance of acting out the ruthless character of Hedda is entertainment that won' t be found in many other plays. This production celebrates the lOOth anniversary of the final draft of the play, which was completed in 1890. MANIPULATIVE, DECEITFUL AND BROODING: Portrayed by Michelle Poole (pictured right), Hedda Gabler likes to control the men in her life.

Inglish professor's funny novel examines commitment BjKATRINA WITTKAMP App.lKhl.il SUIT Writer kluchi, an assistant professor of •^Appalachian, has written a novel »is recently published called "The iNextDoor," which combines humor •wit along with a serious look at marf md commitment. Iticlii is able to combine baseball, sex, hntation of the past, travel, broken ind accepted realities into a «Wul package that pulls at the readtatstrings and tickles the funny The story is told through George, a married man, who is faced with the life­ long commitment of havingchildren. He is pushed into re-evaluating his life when the "family" who has moved next door turns out to be a group of prostitutes. George finds himself attracted to one of the girls named Dusty, who is a bit rough around the edges.She comes on to him in the toolshed, and this throws his mind into overdrive. George begins to feel as if he has missed out on life and that his travels and excitement have been cut short by mar­ riage and commitment Turchi creates a very realistic and be­ lievable character in George. He molds him into a married man who must sift through the problems in his marriage and come to terms with the past and present before he can become truly happy. George, who still lives in the house where he grew up, must forget about his childhood dreams and memories and cre­ ate new dreams with his wife.He muststop planting the same flowers his mother planted in their garden and leam to plant new flowers to create a new garden. On aless serious note, thehumor Turchi weaves into this novel is hilarious. He finds comedy in everyday events, and makes mowing the grass, breeding the dog, and neighborhood meetings amus­ ing. Turchi takes events that are some­ what mundane and uses his wit to turn them into humorous situations. Turchi's characters in "The Girls Next Door" are uniqueand entertaining. There is a schoolbus driver who gossips and drinks beer, a liberal neighborhood rallier and prostitutes who plant oleanders and make banana bread, along with a variety of other characters that color the novel and remain stuck in the reader's mind after reading the book. Turchi takes the reader into a small B altimore neighborhood, into the lives of George Willus and the people who sur­ round him and reveals the charm and humor found in their characters. Through the course of the novel, George goes from being confused and uncertain about his life to understanding and appreciating the people and things that affect him. He stops focusing on the past and starts concentrating on the future, letting his old dreams fall to the wayside. No longer does he want to travel or search for excite­ ment because he learns that leaving does not tell you anything; "it's coming back." "The Girls Next Door" is full of life, laughter and love. It is a pleasurable jour­ ney with a married man through his past and through the problems which face him in the present. The characters are colorful; the humor is wonderful; and the tale is heartwarming. Turchi has created a realistic novel; he has taken the ordinary and buil t a wonderful story of love.

The Glee Club, which currently has47 members, is an organization within the School of Music open to all male singers on campus. Traditionally, half its mem­ bers are non-music majors. There are no formal auditions for the club because director Dr. Phillip Paul feels that auditions may scare off talented people who are uncomfortable singing solo for a panel.The ability to read music is helpful but not required. The main qualification is the ability tosing in tune. Members earn one semester hour of course credit. The Glee Club has been a part of ASU for the past 28 years. Paul became the director in 1966 when he started teaching at ASU and has been with it ever since. "Working with the Glee Club has been one of the most pleasurable times in my teaching career," Paul said. He also com­ mented that heand the Glee Club members work for perfection with the realization that no one is perfect. Performances at conventions have brought the Glee Club regional and na­ tional recognition. In April, the club will travel to Columbia, SC, to perform at the Men's Choral Festival, and in the spring of 1992 they will perform for the National Meeting of the Intercollegiate Men's Cho­ ral Association Convention in Lexington, VA. Paul is always looking for new mem­ bers for theclub. Interested studentsshould go by his office in room 211 of Broyhill Music Center. „CAI« marquee • Film at I.G.

"We are very much in the Ipliyoff picture. A lot depends on ^[tams, hutwe have to act as though we are in the playoffs. We just can't go to Harrisonburg and put in a token performance; we have to be sharp and play well..." ASU has dominated its series with the Dukes, owning a lifetime 7-2 edge in the series which includes victories in the last five contests. Last season, behind quar­ terback D.J. Campbell's three rushing touchdowns, ASU disposed of the Dukes 23-14. The Mountaineer defense stifled JMU, causing four turnovers and holding them scoreless in the second half. Moore believes asimilar performance this S aturday will be the key for ASU's hopes. Our defense needs to be able to control their quarterback (sophomore Eriq Wil­ liams), Moore explained. "He's very quick, and he's a good scrambler. He's probably more dangerous when he's scrambling than when he's in the pocket. They have skilled people as good as any we've played against in Division I-AA all season. They have a lot of offensive talent." Williams is already listed among JMU's all-time leaders in eight offensive cat­ egories. On Nov. 3, Williams had 257 yards in total offense against Georgia Southern, the best effort of his college career. He rushed for 109 yards in that contest, his fourth100-yard rushing effort of the year and his sixth in 15 games as a starter. Williams is the only player in James Madison history to rush for more than 100yards and pass for more than 100 yards in the same game and is averaging over 170 yards per game in total offense. Williams' primary passing targets are split ends Dwayne Hayes and Keith Thornton. Hayes, a junior, is averaging 21 yards per reception and leads the team in total receiving yards. Senior halfback Leon Taylor has 50 career catches and is a constant receiving threat out of the backfield. Taylor is also averaging 6.1 yards per carry in JMU's balanced rush­ ing attack. Senior fullback Willie Lanier is second on the team in rushing, averaging 4.1 yards per carry and 45 yards a game. Freshman fullback Joe Sparksman came off the bench last week against William and Mary and scored on a 95-yard touch­ down run for the Dukes. On defense, the Dukes are led by senior free safety Eupton Jackson and junior linebacker Shannon Vissman. Vissman and Jackson both had over 70 tackles heading into last week's game and each owns one interception on the year. Jack­ son is just one of four good players in the James Madison secondary and should prove to be Appalachian's biggest ob­ stacle offensively.

Craig, a co-captain for the Apps since her sophomoeseason, was recently named the first weekend in November in a first-team all-conference selection for the third consecutive year. Greenville, SC. App*i~hUn Photo by Kotoi jocnon The Lady Apps, winners of the regu­ lar-season SWSA title, swept the Univer­ sity of Tennessee at Chattanooga 3-0 in the semifinal match on Saturday, Nov. 3, then beat Furman 3-0 on Sunday, Nov. 4, for the conference tournament champi­ onship. The Lady Apps were undefeated in SWSA conference play this season and went into the tournament as the number one seed. Shelley Oberle opened the scoring for the Lady Mountaineers against UTC by converting a free kick in the game's 18th minute. Colleen Aldridge added another first-half goal by scoring in the 27th minute. Erica Freas completed the scor­ ing for the Lady Apps, notching herfourth goal of the season in the 65th minute. In the title game on Sunday, Daileen Britton converted a rebound into a score with a well-executed header at the 16minute mark. Aldridge then scored the first of her two goals of the afternoon in the opening minutes of the second half. Aldridge finished out the scoring for the Lady Apps with a goal in the 77thminute. "The girls dedicated this tournament to Melissa Gibson," ASU Coach Bob Goddard said. "They wanted to win this tournament for her, and they did it. I am very proud of the effort and dedication this team has shown all year. They are talented, to be sure, but they pulled to­ gether as a team during some pretty rough times." Gibson led the team in scoring this season with seven goals. Aldridge wrapped up the year with six goals while Oberle notched five and Freas added four. ASU all stars play in tournament WHAT? ASU finished the year with an 8-3 over­ all mark and a 7-0 league record. UTC extends Nix's contract According to the "Student Echo," the student newspaper of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, UTC Head Football Coach Buddy Nix accepted a contract extension on Wednesday, Oct. 31. Nix, who is in his seventh season at the UTC helm, holds a 34-41-1 record with the Moccasins. He is in the final season of a two-year deal. "I believe we are heading in a positive direction," UTC Athletic Director Ed Farrell said. "We have a very fine fresh­ man class in both the skill and line positions that speak to a good future. This is a credit to our coaching staff. We are on track to establishing a very competitive program." This season. Nix has led the Moccasins to a 5-5 overall record and a 4-2 Southern Conference mark. The Mocs fell 23-17 to ASU on Oct 27. "I think that Coach Farrell did what he thought was best for the program at this stage of the game," Nix said. "We want to be national contenders, and I think we are a lot closer than people think we are.I think it (the contract extension) will be a big boost to our program." Nix served as an assistant coach for 15 years beforecoming to UTC in 1984.In his first season at UTC, Nix carried the Mocs to their fourth Southern Conference Championship with a 5-1 league record and their only Division I-AA playoff ap­ pearance, where they lost37-10 to Arkansas State in the first round.

The Mountaineers will need to cash in on their opportunities against JMU to have a chance.

That game helped him and the whole team regain some re­ spect and confidence." The new-found confidence should help ASU Saturday, and Moore is hoping that his defense turns in another game like the shutout they pitched against VMI. "The key will definitely be whether we can contain their offense. We have to hold down their quarterback and not give up any big plays," Moore said.

Students and (lessors should try to be more courteous to each other. Students who come to class 20-30 minutes late should be locked out of the assroom. This is extremely annoying to those students who are trying to sen to the lectures and to the professors who are trying to lecture. When dents walk in late, they disrupt class and only call attention to themselves, students cannot manage to attend theclasses at the scheduled time, then they mild drop the class and find another better suited for their schedule. This tkavioris also extremely uncourteous to the professor. Students who talk in class should remember that there are others who are jfingtotake notes and listen to the lecture. It is very rude to talk while others 1, and professors should, at the very least, deserve this minor form . Whispering while professors or others are talking becomes fctacting, and often the focus of the class is placed on the distraction rather ante lecture. Mils also should try to participate in class discussion. Participating in win discussion allows the student to grasp the material better. Yet lowing others toparticipateisalsoessential. Don't interrupt other students, Irespect others right to talk and share their opinions. Keep an open mind. tofessors also should try to remain sensitive to student needs. When 'cssors hold class over for even 5-10 minutes, it causes students to be late fa classes. Professors, try to remember that students do attend other «,and let students out on time.

When anyone mentions government control, many people frown and start screaming "what about our rights." I know because I'm one of them. I truly prefer as little government intervention in my life as possible, but when faced with the every growing world population, even I feel that a restriction or two is in order. Ideally I wish that people could "police" themselves; thus, we could avoid any outside control. However, this is not an option because of the widespread greed and selfishness that rules large portions of the world. I believe there must be some control over the repro­ ductive rates of humans, and this control will inevitably have an effect on one's supposed "moral right" to repro­ duce. We are quickly using up both our natural resources and the land that can yield food, and eventually, the ozone layer will be depleted byour voracious appetite for energy. It is essential that a global family planning program be developed and that it provide the basics for controlling population growth. What are these basic needs? For starters, education, as we should all know by now, is the answer to almost any problem. Another basic that must accompany this edu­ cation is counseling for those who need help applying what they have learned. The last basic is the one I find most essential and many find the most controversial. Contraception for the masses could put a big dent in our growth rate, but for various reasons, mostly religious, it is not discussed openly and freely where it could do the most good. Many of the people getting so fanatical about abortion are the same people who won't discuss contraception as a Hope Harvey means of avoiding an unwanted pregnancy. These folks need to face the facts. If the threat of AIDS can't scare people into celibacy, nothing can! According to the 1989 Statistical Abstracts of the United States, in 1986, 878,500 children were born to unmarried women who were near or below the poverty level. We, the people, must assume responsibility for these lives immediately. Before one of these children has left the hospital, the tax-payers haveassumedresponsibility for their tab. I do not think we can justify allowing people who can neither financially or physically take care of themselves to reproduce more of their kind. In the Beck vs. Buck case of 1927, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendall Holmes stated, "It is better for all the world if, instead of waiting to execute degenerate offsprings for crime, or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind." This was a decision handed down by a very insightful man over 60 years ago. I really think he had some foresight into the future and saw children born to poverty stricken families turn to crime for food and clothes. He might have seen a few young, unwed mothers neglecting their children and taking their welfare money to buy another hit off the crack pipe. For the sake of our population and for the sake of those already bom who need support, we must enforce irre­ versible sterilization on women or married couples who have more children that they can afford. It is difficult to propose a means of controlling reproduction among the financially independent. I hope education will reach these people before we are forced to implement a program like . China s, where people are fined for overproducing. Some may say that the financial situation of the indi­ vidual or couple may change; they might win some lottery or sweepstakes, and then they would be able to afford as many children as they want but will not be able to have them. This is unacceptable and unrealistic for two reasons. The first is that millions of people enter sweepstakes and buy lottery tickets daily and the chances of that one woman who was sterilized winning is very slim. This leads us to the second reason because even if one does have the money to support several children, the impact of that newborn individual on the world situation must be weighed. Many believe underdeveloped, third world nations are the ones responsible for the current population crisis. It is true they produce larger families and have a smaller chance of receiving or even knowing about a contracep­ tive, but their children's actual impact on theearth is much less than that of a newborn in the United States. For example, one child bom in the United States has240 times the impact on our planet that a child bom in Bangladesh See DEFENSE page 8 Learn to appreciate life at ASU By MARLYSE RAPPOPORT Appalachian Columnist I have to say that I am a newcomer in Boone country. I transferred from Westem North Carolina, and I thank God for the divine intervention. Being at ASU is like coming "uptown" from Cullowhee. I have two things to say. First, Western is a university in a world of its own. What world we will never know. Second, the students up here don't know how good they have it. When Isay that Western is in a world by itself, I don't exaggerate! First of all, the school is not that challenging and let me tell you why. I was taking 18 hrs, working for the paper and popping a 3.8 GPA. The uni­ versity is like 13th and 14thgrade. Ireally didn't have to study too much. But I tell you what, if you wrote a paper and you did not agree with the professor on what to discuss, a C or C- is what you received. Also, some teachers had their own little "cliques" of students whom they had had before and oh boy, were they doted on. Luckily I haven't seen that here. But as I say, I am new in this cozy little town. My classes are very challenging, and those are the classes I like—especially one history seminar class I'm taking. I'm lovin' it; I really am. People atASU stand up for what they believe, who they want to vote for, how they want their moneyspent, environmental issuesor any kind of issues. Down at Western nobody cared about any of these topics. One thing we did care about was the quality of our food. Some students found that our cafeteria was for profit and didn't By GARY LARSON put the money back into it. We had the most God awful food. It was greasy, salty, and we received the smallest portions you could think of. It got to the point that if it were Wednesday, it was lasagna. People tried to do something about it, but as soon as they had to do a littlebit of work itdidn' t seem to matter any more. They proceeded to get fat buying pizza and subs from local fast food restaurants.So when Ihearpeople in the cafeteria say that the food is nasty, ya'll don't know what nasty is. weights, Nautilus—all under one roof— not to mention all the extras like the aerobics classes and the personalized fit­ ness clinics. Appalachian sure does treat its students well. Ipaidjustasmuchtogoto Western as I do to go here, and I get so much more. I know that you are saying that I should be a PR person at ASU. I think my CMA teacher would disagree that I should be a PR anything with my grades being like they presently are. I'm sitting in the computer room at the When I saw the Food Court, I was in new businessschool typing away and does absolute awe. When I saw the times that Western have that?

Western was very planned out. It was It is absolutely amazing how you built for expansion, and I guess they knew schedule your time around your meals.

When I walked into the Quinn, I nearly Other than that. Western is an apathetic, died again. Lifecycles, Stairsteppers. little, ignorant hole in the wall. Apathetic means that the kids don't care if they attend college or not. All they do is moan about how hard the work is and how their teachers are so mean. Western students start partying on Tuesday instead of Thursday nights whennormal halfwitted students start the weekend. We know why the school is "little." I use the word ignorant because the kids • do not stand up for anything except their • right to complain and moan. They are' ignorant because they chose this school t since it will take a 2.0 GPA right out of ; high school, and they knew they would • not have to exert much academic effort. * But, I have to give them credit.

Its a vicious cycle but somebody has to do it and why not Westem. I don't think we should look down at them; I think we should take pity on them. Because, and I might be wrong—I hope I am, WCU will just be 13th and 14th grade for some. Either they will drop out, or they will come to a real school like ASU. I personally think that ASU is the place to be. Editor's Note: Rappoport is a junior majoring in English from Newland, NC.

Julie Wallace To the Editor: i was quietly doing its lesson when Russell, rif from problems at home, prepared to ernploy an attention-getting device. ig I am continually surprised by the disregard for women's safety shown by this university. The most recent example being the lack of maintenance for the emergency "phones" on campus. Surprised by my own ignorance of where these were located, I walked with a friend around campus to find them. After asking a few women we passed if they knew where even one was located and getting equally puzzled responses, we asked security. We were told that they did not have a map but could name the locations (apparently unable to photocopy this info, for us). There are supposed to be 12 blue lights with emergency buttons. We found 10 (three of which the blue lights were not working). Where the one at the Con-Ed Center is located, is still a ASU Box 5501 Student was not able to get a required class for her education degree To the Editor I registered today. Now I am in the mood to transfer from this lovely institution. Don't get me wrong, I love this school and would rather go here than anywhere else. I was just mistaken in my belief that I would sometime graduate. I always believed that people who took six years to get through college were guilty of goofing around and simply taking their time. I was inconect in that assumption. Anyone in a business or education major might as well plan or. retiring in Now, let me clarify something. I am a secondary English education major. Before you can even enter the College of Education, you have to take three classes. All of these were already full when I registered, and I registered earlier than most people my age. Now, I would not mind this, but when I tried to take English classes and go ahead and get them out of the way, they were full as well. The others I needed were not even offered. It looks to me like a college that has such a high reputation for producing teachers would at least have the common sense to offer more than 10 classes in psychology, eight classes in education, and six classes in intro to teaching courses that it knows every one of its education majors must take. I never believed that colleges were out to make money, but I sure do now. I have spoken with several business majors who are unable to register for their required classes as well. Account­ ing majors, it is my understanding, have the lovely opportunity for two chances at one course. That makes a lot of sense in an increasingly more prestigious business school. The reason we produce such fine business people is because our business people have to go in business to put themselves through school for six or seven years! In conclusion, all the great juggling on a student's part in this institution is not going to get them out of here when they plan. Their only hope is to take enough bull-malarkey courses to make them an upper-classman who can actually register for a required course. I always encouraged people to come to Appalachian, but I sure don't plan to now, and if I knew I would not lose half my credits if I transferred to a college not as well know for its education of teachers, my rear would be out of here.

Some observers also worry the budget will make it harder for colleges to solicit money from alumni by limiting the amounts wealthy taxpayers can claim as tax deductions. In all, the budget cuts $40.1 billion from this year's budget and $492 billion over the next five years.The House passed it 228-200. The Senate then followed suit, voting 54-45 for the bipartisan compro­ mise. President Bush has said that while he objects to parts of it, he will sign the budget. "I don't think anyone believes it is a perfect budget," said Jim Nelson, secre­ tary of the American University Staff Council and a founding member of the Washington-based Integrated Response Against Taxing Education. "This bill is the best we could expect out of this Con­ gress and out of this White House." Students with employers who pay for their classes will have some extra pocket change under the new budget. The bill continues the tax exemption for under­ graduate students and restores the exemp­ tion for graduate students. The bill makes the exemptions retroac­ tive to Sept. 30 for undergraduates, and for graduate students, the changes take effect January 1. It is valid until Dec. 31, 1991. For the last three years, the government has treated graduate remission benefits as taxable income. For some graduate students. the co prevented them from taking advantage of the program. "This is a very satisfying after three years of efforts," Nelson said. "We need people to call this Congress and the next Congress with thanks for our inclusion and to push to make this extended law permanent." Terri Ferinde, president of the Ameri­ can Association of University Students, agreed. "That was the right move for Congress to take. It was stealing money from students who were working their way throughcollege. It had madeit nearly impossible tomake it on you own through college." The budget also hopes to cut $1.7 billion from federal student loan pro­ grams during the next five years, mostly by trying to prevent more students from defaulting on loans. Among other mea­ sures, the new law will stop students at schools with default rates more than 35 percent from getting loans, require stu­ dents without high school diplomas or Graduate Equivalency Diplomas to pass a test to receive federal assistance, and delay funding first-time loans until 30 days into the semester. The delay would keep students from using loan money to pay non-college bills. Such efforts may not be the ultimate means that Congress uses to cut the fed­ eral loan program, Ferinde said. "I think the real decisions will be made with the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act," Ferinde said. "I'm not convinced that this is a major overhaul." The Higher Education Act, up for reewal next year, authorizes most federal financial programs, including Pell Grants and Stafford Student Loans. Eric Wentworth, a senior vice president with the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education, said the section of the federal budget that reduces personal tax exemptions for people with incomes more than $100,000 could reduce overall donations and lower the number of lump­ sum gifts. "Historically, donations have been 100 percent deductible," Wentworth said. "What we are dealing with in this is putting a limit across the board." But Donald Triezenberg, vice president for development and planning at Ameri­ can University, said he didn't believe the changes would hurtthe university's funding efforts. "I think those people that are sup­ porters of our projects will continue to be supporters of our projects," he said."They didn't get involved for tax breaks." While Wentworth said he does not ex­ pect the 3 percent reduction to greatly impact donations, he worries Congress may go further. "We are unhappy with both the principle and the potential nega­ tive effects on the size and timing of larger gifts," Wentworth said. Ferinde said she feared lowered contri­ butions could increase financial demands on students. "I am little concerned that there might be less giving from the top because that means that there will be more of a burden for universitiesto raise tuition," Ferinde said. In addition to education cuts, students will face thesame higher alcohol, gasoline and travel prices that other citizens will shoulder as part of the compromise. �-Ihe Appalachian. Tuesday.

The organization is designed to involve students in campus and community events. Residence Student Association, an organization designed for students Who live on campus, gives students theopportunity tomeet others and become involved in the campus and surrounding commu­ nity through planned activities. These activities help to shape the social life in the residence halls, giving each hall its own identity. With4,400students involved, RSA is the second largest organization on campus, following SGA. In the past, RSA has organized fund-raising cam­ paigns for causes, including the needy and the AIDS foundation. This year, a campus pennydrive raised over $900 for the homeless. A fairly new organization. Residence Student Association is less than five years old. Until this year, the main objectives of RSA have been pro­ gramming throughout the halls and community service. A newly revised mission statement has altered RSA's purposes and goals so that emphasis is played on meeting student needs. The organization is divided into two branches: RSA, which is within the halls; and CRSA, which is comprised of the entire campus. Campus RSA's elected officials this year are president Jennifer Shiflet, vice president Cynthia Cox, secretary Deena Suits, and treasurer Michelle Smith. Two national communications coordinators, Teri Farmer and Jodi Roberto, are appointed on previous experience in RSA. Each year, Appalachian RSA sends delegates to three conferences to exchange ideas with other chapters of RSA from attending schools. The first conference held in the fall is the South Atlantic Affiliation of College and University Residence Halls. The second, the North Carolina Association or CRSA RSA of Residence Halls, takes place in February. The last conference of the year is the National Associa­ tion of College and University Residence Halls, where programs are presented by the delegates. ASU is always well represented and often receives awards. S AACURA was held at the University of South Carolina this year. Appalachian's RSA presented 10 programs, threeof which werein the top ten, and RSA officials received numerous awards. The two NCC's, Roberto and Farmer, were named NCC'sof-the-Year for the region. Regional awards for Augustwere given to Fanner for her program, 'Tie a Yellow Ribbon." Shiflet, Roberto and Farmer received three national awards for August. In addition. North Carolina got the bid for S AACURA '91, which will be held inCharlotte. Each of theresidence halls also elects a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer and CRSA representative. Meetings are held within the halls, and the president and representative of each attend the weekly CRSA meetings. Activities offer a chance to meet people and to become involved in the organization. Each of the halls participatesin Homecoming and the awarding of the Chancellor's Cup. The cup is presented to the hall that wins three out of four activities. The competition included a penny drive, a spirit yell, a parade and a building and banner contest. This year, the winner was Winkler Hall. In the spring, the halls organize different activities and fund­ raisers during Residence Hall Week. Anyone is welcome to attend CRSA meetings, held on Monday nights at 7:30 p.m. in the I.G. Greer conference room. Those interested in RSA can find meeting times posted within the halls. Theater department performs "Hedda Gabler" Special to the Appalachian The task of a theatrical designer is to set the tone and style of a dramatic production. The scenic and lighting designer creates an environment while the costume designer creates a look for the actors who will inhabit this environment. This semester, stu­ dents and faculty designers will have spent thou­ sands of hours working on the department of the­ atre and dance's upcoming production of Henrik Ibsen's "Hedda Gabler." "Hedda Gabler" is the story of a woman who wishes to control her environment at a time when women exercised little control. Ibsen's play is a complex, psychological character study of jealousy, revenge and creative freedom. When first published in 1890, the play received wild and disharmonious reviews. Writing about an egotistical, maniacally neurotic and tragically plaintive woman who can find no value in herself, Ibsen unleashed a new kind of character on the stage. Hedda Gabler is a woman unable to participate fully in the process of life—a woman enchained by conventions she finds ambivalently archaic. Hedda cannot fulfill herown undefined desires; she wants only to destroy the dreams of those around her. From the moment she walks on stage forbidding sunlight to flood the room, Hedda makes every attempt to control both the physical and psycho­ logical environments of those with whom she is forced to exist. She soon realizes she cannot escape the conventions of society which surround her. Her last action is a pathetically shocking attempt to control her destiny. The set for the production is large. So large, in fact, it looms over the actors; it devours them. "It is overwhelming and imposing," Becky Manning, who hasdesigned the scenery and lights, said."But this set is also symbolic of the times in which Hedda Gabler lived. Late 19th century society was restraining, especially for the women expected to keep house and have babies. I had to find a way to translate that environment into concrete stage im­ ages." Manning, department of theatre and dance de­ signer and technical director, has created a Nor­ wegian country manor house whosesize is matched only by its oppressiveness. The colors are earthy Education program browns and greens, the furniture bulky Victorian. "Everything about this room and this home should invade Hedda's sense of aesthetics. It is obvious from the text that she never chose to live here," Manning said. "And as the play moves forward, the environment should become more and more confining, her place in society more and more restricted." Hedda Gabler does choose how she will dress, and faculty costume designer Martha A. Marking took advantage of Hedda's ability to make creative choices. "Heddahas justreturned from a wedding tour of Europe,"Marking said. "Her clothes reflect her style and the styles of 19th century Parisian and Italian designers. Our costumes set her apart from the others on stage both visually and psychologi­ cally." One of Marking's challenges is to translate historically drab fashions into pleasing visuals for a contemporary, MTV-educated audience. Work­ ing with three staff members and over 20 design students and volunteers, Marking hasdesigned and is building nine original costumes. "Hedda will be the brightest, most stylish character on stage," Marking reflects. Her look will be harshly juxta­ posed against other characters whose designs are primarily darker and heavier. "While Hedda will be in colorful silks, the others will reflect late 19th century Scandinavian styles. We are using a lot of dark wools for this production," Marking laughs. Marking spent time researching her designs at the Mint Museum in Charlotte. One exhibit of 1890s fashions at the Museum of New York City proved to be very valuable. She also used antique postcards and photographsfound inused bookstores and specialty shops. "We wanted to recreate an authentic picture of Scandinavian life, while also allowing the costumes to reflect the inner worldsof the characters. I think we will be very successful." Appalachian's "Hedda Gabler" will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the play whose final draft was completed Nov. 16, 1890. The play will run Nov.14-18 beginning each night at 8 p.m. in Chapell Wilson Hall. Tickets are on sale in the theatre and dance office, 134Chapell Wilson Hall, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Tickets are $4 for adults and $2 for students. Reservations are recommended and may be made by calling (704) 262-3028. Awards future teachers $5,000 a year ASU News Bureau They look like typical students. Standard dress includes jeans, sweatshirts or T-shirts, but to some they are known as $20,000 wonders. They are North Carolina Teaching Fellows at ASU. The Teaching Fellows program began four years ago when the state budgeted S2 million in scholarships to encourage academically talented high school students to go into teaching. Now $8 million is budgeted annually for the program. Recipients who meet specific qualifications and maintain a 2.25 GPA during their freshman year and a 2.5 GPA for the remaining years annually receive a $5,000 scholarship for college. The scholarship is repaid by teaching in North Carolina for a four-year period. A total of 259 Teaching Fellows are enrolled at ASU, the largest suchenrollment at a single college or university in the state. Some 1,467 Teaching Fellows attend 13 colleges and universities statewide. Appalachian will graduate its first class of Teaching Fellows this spring. The program's first year was a time of learning for both the students and those administering the program. "This year'sseniors have been the guinea pigs for everything we tried," Dr. Ken Jenkins, director of the program at ASU, said. A total of 103 students were accepted as Teaching Fellows in 1987, the first year of the program.Of that number, 84 students are currently enrolled. One program designed to improve retention rates pairs new students with those who have completed one or more years as Teaching Fellows. "We try to create a sense of family," Jenkins said. "New students in the program are paired in a peer/mentor relationship with students who have been in the program. This is a bridge-building opportunity that the first class didn't have," he said. Retention is not the only improvement since the first year. The average SAT and GPAs have improved as well. The average SAT score for the class of 1991 is 1049, compared to 1128 for the class of 1994. Unlike some education pro grams thatdon't admit students until the sophomore year, Teaching Fellows take education classes their first semesteron campus. "Every teaching fellow student takes a leadership course," Jenkins said. "They leam insights into leadership skills for teachers and start talking right away about teaching as a profession, what teachers do and why they should be considered leaders." The activities immediately induct students into the profession and get them thinking about life on the other side of the desk, Jenkins said. As a result, by the time they are in the classroom students are self-assured and ready for their roles as teachers. During the summer between the freshman and sophomore years, teaching fellows participate in a discovery trip—an eight-day trip across the state to visit businesses, public schools and other colleges. After the sophomore year, students can participate in leadership or job skills conferences, microcomputer seminars, Appalachian's summer program in Newport, RJ., or a number of activities sponsored by other Teaching Fellows institutions. As with any high-profile program, expectations of the first Teaching Fellows graduates will be great. "When the Teaching Fellows get into the public schools, the veteran teachers will look at them as $20,000 wonders. We want them to be aware expectations will be placed on them that aren't placed on other people," he said.

Despite starting another drive in their opponent's territory, this time the VMI 38-yard line, the Mountaineers failed to capitalize again in the first half. The offense rushed the ball to the Keydet 12, where it was third-and-nine with about two minutes to go in the half. Keydet outside linebacker Wayne Purcell stayed home and anticipated the third-down play, areverse. Purcell brought Atkins, the ball carrier, down eight yards behind the line of scrimmage. Millson was then called on to attempt a 35-yard field goal, which was wide left and low. This was the first of two missed field goals on the day by Millson, who went one for three on FG attempts. "A lot of it was mental," ASU Head Coach Jerry Moore said concerning Millson's kicking. "He was slipping (on the muddy natural turf) in pregame. Kicking is 99 percent mental anyway, and when you're slipping (it's that much worse)." Moore called the missed field goals critical and said, "When the score is 7-0, field goals are awfully big." BothofASU's thirdquarter possessions began in VMI territory; however, the Mountaineers again failed to capitalize. The first drive ended in a Harold Alexander punt and the second, in Millson's second missed field goal, this time from 24 yards out. The missed boot gave VMI the ball with 1:08 to go in the third period. Seven and one-half minutes later, the Keydets found themselves just eight yards shy of the goal line. The VMI offense had moved the ball 72 yards on 14 rushes and one pass. The drive ended, however, as the squad faked a field goal on fourth-and-five from the eight and Avery Hall WTappedup Scales at the line of scrimmage. This set up the Mountaineers' second touchdown of the day, which came with 6:07 to play and began with the Mountaineers' worse field position of the .» *pp"*cnmn Photo by Lorry Bauouooo day, at the VMI eight-yard line.

"We were consistent throughout the match, except for a lapse in the first part of the fifth game." ETSU bolted to a 9-0 lead in the fifth game and held a 14-7 advantage over ASU before the Lady Apps rallied to take the game 16-14 and the match 3-2. "I never felt like we were going to lose," McGee said. "We knew we were going to win; it was just a matter of how." "There must have been a dozen side outs where ETSU had the opportunity to score the final point, but we denied them each and every time," McGee added. Senior middle blocker Tammy Craig led the Lady Mountaineers with 22 kills, 22digs and a.278 hitting percentage, while junior setter Joanne Myers had 60 assists for a .314 setting percentage. Sophomore outside hitter Kim Nelson, who played with an injured shoulder added 16 kills and 16 digs for the Lady Apps.

On the ensuing kickoff return, ASU's Tony Leonard popped Scales and jarred the ball loose. Mountaineer Kevin Sikorski recovered the fumble on the VMI 25-yard line. On first down, Campbell pushed the ball to the 11-yard line when he found running room on the left side. Two plays later, Campbell passed to Dexter Strickland who was pushed out of bounds at the five. On fourth-and-goal from the four, Millson split the uprights for a 21-yard field goal and an Appalachian 17-0 lead. This, the game's final score, came with 4:24 to go.

Death leaves much for the living Though death is traumatic and often seemingly sense­ less, its consequences help the living grow. I have found out that death gives back at the same time it takes away. Recently, many people lost adear friend. She was given to the afterlife in a tragic accident. She was young and energetic. She had a lot to live for. Yet Kathy Whitten died. Since her death was an accident which was not supposed to happen, her family and friends were left to wonder about the nature of life, death and the human capacity to control either. After theinitial shock of this tragedy wore off, I was left with questions which sometimes cannot be answered. Often the answers must be based on our willingness to believe rather than our ability to reason. No one willever know whether they could have averted the tragedy if they had been there. No one was there. Yet wondering is a part of the process of coping with death. I had to wonder how many times I have been close to death from a freak accident in this full-steam-ahead world. We can never know just how close we are to death when all we feel is its cold presence quickly brushing past us. We do get a vivid picture of its permanence when it takes someone close to us, though. The fragile chapters of our lives are punctuated with tragic events. When they hit so closely, they make us realize how frail we are as humans.Even the most careful, health-conscious person is susceptible to the whims of fate. How many times have each of us narrowly missed being hit by a car as pedestrians? How many times have we jerked our cars back into our lanes just in time to avoid a head-on collision? How long do these narrow escapes stick in our minds? Not as long as a death. To the living, death is permanent. We cannot see past the veil of the human form. Yet there may be something better beyond death, and at trying times we all want to Co to these meetings; urge your friends to go, and speak out SGA leaders 1'represent you as a student without input about what you need or want.

(Why, then, would he get re­ elected by such a majority if he really said that?) 5 believe there is. The death of a loved one seems to renew our faith in a better place. I believe there is. By asking why Kathy died, we all reaffirm the belief that we are bom and live on Earth for a purpose. The purpose of birth is not merely to live, but also to affect people. Kathy served her purpose grandly. Ironically, it seems our purposes can only be fully understood after our deaths by our survivors. Purpose is not found only in life, but also in death. We have purpose as long as—before, during or after life—we affect other living souls. Kathy will affect us for a long time. Though we can learn to appreciate our lives more through her sacrifice, more importantly, her life will continue through us because she gave so much of it to us to cherish. My friends and I who knew Kathy have grown closer because of this tragedy. There is more openness and affection between us now. We have begun to realize what we still have by realizing how much we have lost. In this respect we have grown from Kathy's death.

Michael Boykin Maybe now we will think twice before taking another person's friendship for granted. A tragic loss can make people realize just ho w much they do have—and stand to lose. Kathy always went out of her way to speak her mind, mostly making others feel good. I took it for granted that her frank speech and cheery smile would lighten my days indefinitely. Unfortunately, life is indefinite, and I never got around to letting her know how much I appreciated her—not that I didn't have the chance. We live and we leam...hopefully. Maybe there will come a time when all the world's problems are solved. Maybe then even small courtesies will be noticed and reciprocated as a matter of habit Maybe thenpeople won't have to die, or we will just better understand and accept the necessity of death. Death is an able teacher and we have so much to leam. We can only guess what lies beyond our Earthly lives, so we should concentrate on the best we have to offer while on Earth.The death of a loved one helps us find the best in ourselves and others. Death and its lessons should not be ignored. Kathy's death was a tragic loss for everyone who knew her. Yet her absense has given us more than just memo­ ries. It has given us renewed faith in an afterlife. It has helped us better appreciate our loved ones. It has given us a bond which cannot be broken. I think Kathy has found a better place. It wouldn't be fair if she hadn't. Her sacrifice has given so much to the people she left behind. She has earned her rest. I believe people only get as much as they give. Kathy has quite an inheritance awaiting her. In memory of Catherine Lee Whitten. I believe in the environment and so does Helms. Although Ms. Harvey's article implies that Helms supports off shore oil drilling here in North Carolina, it was he who helped pass a law not too long ago, making it illegal in a majority of coastal towns and cities—a major shutdown for oil companies. I don't believe in being radical or non-radical. I believe in believing what I want and respecting the beliefs of others. I voted for Helms because I know where he stands. Jesse Helms is probably too outspoken, but you know what he believes in because of it. I voted for Helms because he Is so opinionated. With the Democratic majority currently in Washington, I voted for Helms because I want someone in Congress that will even out the extreme liberals, not to get a bunch of conservative bills passed. I voted for Helms because I know most of his propositions will be laughed into a hole somewhere; but, along the way, the Democrats can't pass too many extremely liberal bills or spend large sums of money on ludicrous causes— thanks to Helm's extreme conservative presence. I guess you could call it balance. I want balance—in North Carolina, in Washington, in the nation, in the Middle East, in Europe, in Asia, in South America, in Latin America, in Africa and throughout the world. I want balance of power. Jesse Helms is the one vote that may bring the scales of power to more of a balance, and I am happy to have voted for him. Scott E. Schnegelberger ASU Box 16694 Frustrated parent wants ASU to rectify parking problem now To the Editor: I received a parking ticket Oct 19 for a violation of failure to register (S15.00). Nowhere have I read in all the literature that was sent to my daughter about registering my vehicle to visit. It was conveniently listed on the back of the ticket. She does not have a car at school due to poor planning on the school's part to handle cars on campus. The other violation was in a noparking zone ($15.00). I parked behind five other vehicles in a row (no tickets were on their windshields). This was the same parking space that we parked in for Family Weekend, and we did not receive a ticket. No visible sign was posted. I will pay the $30.00 fine but please be assured that this is the one and only donation that Appalachian State University will ever receive in the future. Please take this one-time donation of $30.00 and put it towards a parking deck. The school should solve its own parking problems and not subject its visitors or students' parents to its lack of priority to solve its biggest headache. Suggestion: Why not take the money for the new student activity building (that no one seems to want) and use the money to build parking decks located on campus. Be sure to provide some visitors' parking spaces. As the University grows so should its ability to foresee the need for additional parking. Mrs. Marshall T. Hunter Police officers do not deserve recent violence To the Editor: What has come over some of the students here at ASU? I am talking about the acts of violence that occurred, and our Boone policemen have been the target For the second time this year, I have heard of a large, out-of-control party being broken up and some person(s) at the party started throwing stuff at the police. Enough is enough. Most of the students here at ASU are law abiding citizens, and we can't have a few going out and ruining our reputation. I have never known the police to instigate an incident. I have known them to go out of their way to help students and talk to them about problems before they had to give citations. If this keeps up they will probably start handing out citations without warning, and who can blame them? Those men and women put their lives on the line everyday to protect our safety, and it's a shame when they have to worry about getting injured while getting a party quietened down. I hope that whoever gets caught doing this will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. I would like to thank our police officers (ASU, Boone and Watauga County) for the fine job that they are doing, and I hope they realize that these are very few individuals making all of us students look bad.

Yelton ASU Box 18736 College Democrats and Republicans feel the elections ran smoothly To the Editor: Now that the election has come to an end, the campaigning is over and our representative officials have been decided on by the people, it is time to make a few comments concerning election '90 at Appalachian State. First off, as leaders of the two political party organizations on campus (College Republicans and College Democrats), we must extend a thank you of utmost sincerity to all those who helpied and made themselves a part of the campaign. The contact tables in the student union could not have been successful by either camp in the distribution of literature had loyal members not given so much time to their personal cause. Also we would like to thank the Student Government Association for sponsoring the voter registration drive. Thanks to those efforts, 1,467 p>eople were registered to vote; the majority of which were students. However, simply being appreciative of the registration drive and SGA would be cutting our thanks short without extending a very sp>ecial thanks to Randy Hill, director of state affairs for SGA. His coordination of the effort set along side the success of the project must not go unnoticed. Secondly, we find it important to have the maturity to respect one another—outcome of the election set aside. It would behoove us to be able to maintain a mutual friendship between our organizations. After all, when it's all said and done, we as citizens must live with the officials that are elected, and if we can not walk up and shake hands after­ wards, then we would have reduced the elections to an irresjx>nsible personal conflict. Simply put, that is not the way it should be and that is not how the College Democrats and College Republicans want it to be. As leaders, we want to finally thank each other for not creating problems among our two organizations. The beauty of our country is being able to hold our own ideas and expressing them in a civil manner without crossing that unwarranted bridge of conflict. Even though the College Republicans did fall pjrey to a few unjustified instances of outrage, we do not place any blame on our rival organizations. Neither camp adminis­ tered any discombobulatory actions to the other, and we honestly thank one another. Once again we thank all those dedicated members of our clubs, SGA and Randy Hill. None of our campaigns and election efforts could have been achieved without cooperation from all and much hard work. See you in the next election.

In Durham County a superior court judge ordered the polls open until 10 p.m. because of the three-hour de­ lays the broken ma­ chines caused.

The first project is Pnj dismissal time for classes for giving, Christmas, and spring from 6 p.m. to noon, current 6 p.m. dismissal time is a ""student and faculty lives,"Yelton Yelton sited safety concerns with holding classes so late in the day, noting potentially worsening weather conditions and darkness as hazards to students who have a long way to drive. He said hedidnt like the ideaof students jamming Boone's narrow outer roads at night. Yelton stated the time was changed because the administration felt too many students wereskipping classes togo home early. Yelton said he has talked with several Faculty Senate members, and they also agree that the time should be returned to noon. He plans to bring upa resolution to this effect in SGA Senate and would like to see the time change implemented immediately. The desire for more "C" option housing ASU. He thinks the university should is another project Yelton is working on. place recycling receptacles for ne wpapers This would allow 24-hour visitation for and aluminum cans in residence hall both sexes. lobbies. His committee is studying the "We need to find a better balance be­ cost of the receptacles and the best loca­ tween "B" and "C" option ho us ing," Yel ton tion for them. Yelton is working with Randy Hill, said. "We're in a trend where students are wanting more freedom in having visitors." SGA director of states affairs, to start an Yelton said there is still a need for "B" Adopt-a-Campus program at ASU. This option housing for those students who program will consist of dividing ASU's w an t a qu ieter study atmosphere; he doesn' t campus into different zones and asking think more "C" options will pose a prob­ various groups to adopt a certain zone, similar to clean-up programs in Boone lem for the university. "I believe that students are responsible and throughout the state. enough to handle it," Yelton said. "They (groups) would be responsible Residence hall recycling is something for cleaning it (zone) a number of times a else that Yelton would like to see happen at semester," Yelton said. Through this program, Yelton said he hopes to save the university money on maintenance staff costs as well as promote pride in the campus. Another project Yelton and his com­ mittee are working on is updating the university's pet policy, something that hasn't been done since 1978. The existing pet policy states that only fish may be kept in residence halls. Other animals aren't allowed in buildings, ac­ cording to the policy, and must be kept on a leash with the owner in control. Yelton wants to add to that policy that an animal should not be allowed to be tied up out­ side of buildings while its owner is in class. Yelton's main objective with this project is tolet students know about the university's pet policy soowners will exert more control over their pets. "The peopleon my committee arereally dedicated, eager and have good ideas," Yelton said. Yelton said the entire Senate is going well this year and has become a model for other universitites to follow. Senate did not meet Tuesday night, ac­ cording to Yelton, because it was election night. SGA wanted to give senate mem­ bers a chance to vote and spend time par­ ticipating in election events. est dining facility's progress continues 'triety of foods will be offered at new food facility, slated to open next fall SHANNON CRITCHER Appalachian SUIT Writer f^UCt'°n on the new S3 million 'ofc 1CCS facil"y l°cated on the west Pus is on schedule, according to Assistant Vice Chancellor of Business Affairs, Lynda Stanbery.

"I have no doubt that I present both sides of the story," he said. At Memphis State, 225 students have signed a petition for an official probe of Johnson's dismissal. MSU President Thomas Carpenter apparently told John­ son in May that his services would no longer be needed after May, 1991. When Johnson asked why he was being dis­ missed, he said he was told he didn't "fit in" at the college. "No other reasons were ever given," Johnson said. However, administrators have suggested to Johnson that he teach at an "institution more closely in tune with his beliefs." See PROFESSORS page 2 "There are no real problems right now. The biggest challenge is getting the roof on before bad weather," Stanbery said."If they (the construction workers) can' t work, we'll get behind schedule." serve breakfast, lunch and supper. The Italian theme of the restaurant should pro­ vide a cultural twist to ASU's dining at­ mosphere, according to Hollar. During the breakfast hours, waffles and pancakes will be served, along with a breakfast pizza.Italian entrees, pi zza, subs and salads also will be available. A selfserve dessert bar and gourmet pizzas, in­ cluding fruit and dessert pizzas, are in­ cluded in the food selections, according to Hollar. A pizzeria also will be located inTrivette Hall. This service will allow students to call in and order a pizza with their prefer­ ence of toppings. Deliveries will not be made, so students will have to pick up their pizzas. According to Stanbery, the two-story building is named after Ned Trivette, former vice chancellor of business affairs. Trivette retired last year after 35 years of service with ASU. The downstairs section of Trivette Hall will include the I.D. Center and additional office space. The food facility, and a new 2,600 square foot market are part of the upstairs plan. Once the building is com­ pleted, approximately 30 jobs will be cre­ ated for the county and approximately 50 more jobs for student employees, S tanberry said. Since there are no state appropriated funds for the auxiliary services, food ser­ vice operations must pay for the facility, according to Stanberry. An increase in student fees of S22 per student will be initiated to pay one-half the price of the building, and food services will pay for the remaining amount. Hollar stated that although prices may be a little moreexpensive than those of the cafeteria, the Italian restaurant "will be an exciting place to go in; it'll be somewhere you could take your date to; it'll have a very intimate atmosphere." Hollar added that the interior design of the dining hall was comparable to that of the Gold Room. According to Jane Hollar, associatedi­ rector of food services, a "scramble sys­ tem," similar to the Food Court will be used. Students will be able to choose be­ tween five different food/beverage sta­ tions to purchase their food. The dining facility will be open from early in the morning to late, and it will A bell tower will be on Trivette Hall. The bell will be bought from funds raised through an alumni class project and SGA and will ring on the hour and for seasonal events. "Everything is progressing nicely," Hollar said. "Everything's on target now, and our deadlines are being met."

"1 thought it was a unique idea." Plus, people often commented to Hakim about how he looks like Morrison. During concerts Hakim tries toembody the spirit of Morrison mentally and musi­ cally as well as physically for new and old Doors fans to hear what many feel is the next best thing to the original. "We also do old things dug up and put to today's stan­ dards like Blind Faith, Yardbirds, andTen Years After," Hakim said. "It's fast ener­ getic powerrock."lnbetweensongs Hakim likes to read original poetry, just as Morrison would do on occasion. been a high turnover rate. Hakim feels he has been able to maintain quality players. Band members include Paul Benitez on keyboards, Chris Fenicchia (formermember of Arc Angel) on guitar and Don S tone on drums. popular. The Back Doors have on occas ion opened for other acts, butmost groups do not want supergroup impersonators to overshadow their show by playing before them. Hakim named the band after toying with ideas like Back in Time with the Doors and the Doors are Back until he finally settled on The Back Doors. Hakim is currently touring the United States and Canada with his 12th band in the past 10 years. Even though there has At one time The Back Doors were per­ forming over 200 shows a year. Currently, they play about 120. The drinking age laws and sluggish economy have made it less profitable to play in clubs and bars today. Hakim said. His dream is to tour Europe where the Doors were wildly In March, a movie about Morrison and the Doors will be released in which Hakim, a former acting student and teacher, was considered to play the lead. According to Hakim, director Oliver Stone tried to con­ tact him for an audition. But Stone did not know where to reach him since The Back Doors were touring Canada at the time. Val Kilmer had been cast in the lead by the time Hakim returned from Canada. Although The Back Doors have re­ corded much of their work, they have no plans to release an album. "It takes a sponsor to put up a lot of money. The odds are against you all the time," Hakim said. "I may as well go to Las Vegas and gamble. It's that risky."

'The rhythmic swing, if that's not there, then something is not happening." Wright is an ASU graduate with amaster of arts in music and a masters as an edu­ cation specialist in music. Wright's pri­ mary instrument is the altosaxophone. He has performed with several Big Bands and formed a trio which performed at local restaurants while he attended gradu­ ate school. Jazz Ensemble, being one of the oldest music ensembles at ASU, has undergone several director changes over the past few years. This is Wright's first year con­ ducting the group. Last year, Rich Fanning directed the group; he is now pursuing a doctoral degreeat Indiana University. Jack Wilkins conducted the group for three years before Fanning;Wilkins now teaches at Oberlin Music Conservatory. Each spring theJazz Ensemble performs with a nationally known jazz artist. Ac­ cording to Wright, the guest for this spring has not been determined at this point.Past guest performers have included trombon­ ist Slide Hampton, trumpeter Bobby Shew, tenor saxophonist Michael Brecker and alto saxophonist Richie Cole. "Most jazz musicians are down to earth people; they are hip; they can relate to you. Jazz people will stand around and talk. Branford Marsalis stayed backstage for an hour talking to not only musicians but anyone who wanted to chat," Wright said. The artist for the Spring concert will be announced later this semester. "The Jazz Program is doing well here at ASU; the national jazz artists who come to campus and the interest that both the students and community put into the ASU Jazz Band show that jazz is popular in Boone," Golden said. Jazz is on the rise, seeping into popular culture through musicians such as Wynton Marsalis and films such as "Round Midnight" and "Mo' Better Blues." In Boone, you can see the popularity of jazz by the recent number of artists and the number of fans attending performances. You can catch a preview of the band's performance Thursday night from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on WASU, with David Moon and Classic Jazz. Jazz also can be heard every Tuesday and Wednesday on the Supper Club from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on WASU. As bass player, Mike Golden said, "If you enjoy jazz you will really enjoy our concert."

"He is an absolutely stunning virtuoso of the clarinet..." wrote distinguished mu­ sic critic Paul Hume in applauding 19year-old Daniel McKelway's Kennedy Center debut. A winner of the 1984 Young Concert Artists International Auditions, McKelway was presented in Washington in 1985, and the following year gave his New York City debut at the 92nd Street *Y\ He was described by "The New YorkTimes" as a fluent, musical and elegant clarinetist.

While in high school he won a scholarship to study with Robert Linstokin at the North Carolina School of the Arts, where he soon distinguished himself by winning the concerto competition.

"Quigley Down Under"returns Selleck to his more traditional role of a gun-packing hero, producing quite an enjoyable movie for Magnum P.I. fans and movie goers. "Quigley" was filmed on location in Western Australia, and the results are astounding. Throughout the movie, the beautiful, vivid scenery of the Australian outback provides a wonderful back drop for the movie. Unfortunately, the director and producers relied too heavily on the Australian outback to entertain viewers which caused the movie to be slow in parts. Even though the Australian outback added a realistic setting, the nonexistance of Austrailian accents in the supporting characters makes the story less believ­ able. Because the movie was limed on location, the producers could have better utilized the Austrailian actors and extras, making the movie more authenic and en­ tertaining. The movie parallels the plight of the Pygmies to the American Indians by ex­ ploring the harsh and unfair treatment delivered by an area landowner. Tom Selleck sympathizes with the Pygmies and soon becomes their protector and friend. Similar to the American Indians, the Pygmies are being driven off their native land. But, luckily, Tom Selleck is there to protect them from the greedy landowners. One warning to animal lovers and ani­ mal rights activists; be prepared to see some harsh and inhumane treatment of animals in the movie. For instance, ahorse see AUSSIE page 4 vancement in the Arts.

The 76ers have a bona fide superstar in Charles Barkley, who rebounds (11.5 rpg), scores (25.2 ppg) and V plays defense.

The Mountaineers, 4-5 overall and 4-2 in the conference, enter the contest in a three-way tie for the league's second place. The Keydets of VMI (36, 0-4) will be searching to climb out of the cellar with a win at home. The contest is a must-winsituation for ASU, and even though VMI has yet to strike blood in the SC this year, victory may not come easily for the Mountaineers on Saturday. Appalachian is coming off their worst outing of the season, a 50-0 setback at Marshall last Saturday. In addition, Apphas lost three of its last five games. There s obviously something lacking right now," ASU Head Coach Jerry Moore said Tues­ day. "We were very lethargic against Marshall. I don't want to make any excuses, because when you are in the middle of a championship race there are no excuses for playing like that." VMI featuresawishboneoffensiveattack which has helped the Keydets to lead the league in rushing, averaging 281 yards per game. VMI is ranked second in total offense at 395 yards per outing. Appalachian State is ranked last in both categories. The VMI offensive stats have been the lone bright spot in an otherwise typical year for the Keydets. With their loss last Saturday the Keydets assured themselves of their ninth consecutive los­ ing season, the longest streak in the conference. Sophomore quarterback Tony Scales leads VMI offensively and is ranked among the conference leaders in rushing and total offense. Junior half­ backs Marcus Mines and Scott Council arc the primary rushing threats out of the backfield, and both are listed among the league's top 15 ground gainers. Mines is averaging 5.18 yards per carry while Council boasts a 5.08 average. Appalachian State's defense will have its hands full, but despite the impressive VMI stats Moore is confident ASU will be able to contain the Keydets. The Appalachian defense totally manhandled The Citadel, another wishbone team, earlier this sea­ son. • Moore explained: "We'll try to attack VMI the same way we did The Citadel. We'd be foolish to change and I'm sure they know that. We were able to pretty much keep The Citadel in hand and keep them backed up. We need to make them have to go a long way to score, which can be hard for a wishbone team. Field position will be a big key." Sophomore punter Harold Alexander will be a big asset to ASU in the field position battle. Alexander is second in conference punting and ninth in the nation, averaging 41.5 yards per boot. He has been one of the few consistent weapons in the App arsenal this season and could prove to be the difference against VMI. The Keydets' impressive offensive numbers have been overshadowed by their porous defense, which ranks next to last in the conference. VMI gives up a whopping 34 points a game and 420 yards per outing. "We just need to execute and perform like we're capable of," Moore said. "We don't need to do anything...fancy. We just need to be sharp and execute." "The worst thing we can do is lose," Moore said. "We can't afford to lose to them. At least math­ ematically we still have a chance to win the confer­ ence. Furman has to play two more conference games, and The Citadel should be a test for them. We justneed to go up there and play like we can and win and stay alive. Maybe we could back into this thing (the conference championship). That has happened before, and that's what we're hoping for."

Braver Appalachian Staff Writer The Lady Mountaineer field hockey squad closed out regular season play this past weekend by going 4-2 in the Deep South Tournament at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem. A field of seven varsity teams participated in the tournament, including ASU, High Point, Pfeiffer, Wake Forest, Salem, Catawba and Davidson. Virginia Tech, Vanderbilt, Tobacco Roads, Durham, UNC and Carolina were represented by club teams (Club teams consist of former college field hockey players and players who are no longer eligible for college play). Appalachian opened the tournament falling to the Lady Indians of Catawba 2-0 on Friday, Nov. 2. The loss placed the Lady Apps in the loser's bracket of the competition. 44We the. Catawba game. "We iusldid notolav well in the Catawha oame just did not play We could., not get everything together, and we dropped in the loser's bracket," ASU Head Coach Karen Poole commented after the tournament. "However, from there on we played really well and had a great team effort." The Lady Mountaineers bounced back Friday afternoon to dominate Salem, capturing an 8-0 win. Sarah Hopkinson was the first of the ASU squad to capitalize on a shot opportunity, scoring early in the first half. The Lady Apps then went on a rampage, scoring six more goals in the first half with another from Hopkinson and others from Shannon Smith, Lisa Fromm and Elise Steuer with two The Lady Apps added another goal in the second period from Smith, giving ASU an 8-0 triumph. On Saturday, Nov. 3, ASU defeated Pfeiffer 30, with the Lady Apps picking up all of their f smrlno in the firct half from Smith, Hrxnlrincnn anH scoring in the first half from ^mith Hopkinson and Dana Albierco. Appalachian faced rival High Point later in the afternoon, falling 1-0 at the hands of the Lady Panthers in sudden death overtime on a controversial call by the referees. "This was an unfortunate loss for us," Poole said. "We lost on a questionable decision by the umpires, but we bounced back and worked hard to — the u to continue their season as players on ,u all-star squads, which will compete in the Southeast Tournament. Melissa Puckett and Fromm were chosen to compete on College Team #3; Steuer and Hopkinson will compete on College Team #2; and Albierco and Smith will compete on CollegeTeam #1. ASU goalkeeper Libba Shannonhouse and Poole will compete on the Club Team. The Lady Apps came back several hours later, defeating the Carolina club team 2-0, with Smith and Fromm leading the Appalachian attack. On Sunday, ASU finished up the tournament by again defeating Salem 6-0. Albierco scored first, followed by Smith with three and Hopkinson with two to lead the Lady Apps to victory. At the end of the tournament, all seven of the players ASU nominated for all-stars were chosen Poole feels that placing this amount of players on all-star squads is a giant step for the ASU field hockey program. "It was great for everyone we put up for selection to be chosen to compete on the allstar team," Poole said. "This is an added bonus for us. There will be no more pressure now, and we can all go out and enjoy the Southeast Tournament." The SoutheastTournament will be held Nov. 911 at Catawba College in Salisbury.

Doesn't anybody think anymore? Of course people think about what job they want, what they're going to do on Saturday night and what they'll wear to class in order to make the best impression for that day. But what about thinking beyond die daily routine of things? According to many college professors and other well educated people, thinking is a thing of the past. We have entered the age of ready-made answers and blind trust in outside sources for truth. What follows areseveral questions that many inAmerica have never thought about nor analyzed. Is the USA a democracy or a republic? Who votes the president into office? Is the latest Clean Air Act good for the country as a whole? Was Christ really born on Dec. 25? If Thomas Jefferson was such a great liberator, why did he own slaves? Are there any absolute rights and wrongs anymore? You may have an opinion abvut the answers to these questions, but can you really say you know the true an­ swer for each? Can you back it up with facts? Some questions like these appear in classes around the United States, in high schools, colleges and universities. When asked such a question, however, the students either a) sit silently because they have had to question their beliefs, b) get mad because someone has questioned their personal "truth"or c) ask, "Is this going to be on the test?" Hopefully a university student would think about it and seek the truth. Too much truth is swept under the rug because of a fear of intellectual honesty. Without intellec­ tual honesty we have resigned ourselves to allow others to think for us. "WTiat I was taught by my parents, school, special interest group is the truth!" Prove it. "radical" Mr. Keating, challenges his students to think, analyze and understand themselves and life itself. Audi­ ences loved seeing young minds opened, even if just a crack to allow light of intellect education to excite their spirit I'm afraid Mr. Keating would probably be hated by many students at ASU. Even though we say we want to learn about life and truth, deep down we are afraid the truth will make us change the way we want to view the world. Many would simply hate his class because they could not stand not knowing what he was going to test them on. Hopefully this article has stirred you to seek the truth and not jus t a gr ade. As an old T.V. personality used to say, How can a mind be shut down to intellectual honesty? "Just the facts, ma'am."Get those facts and be willing to One way is by an early education based on educating the change your ideas. mind (memory, thought and consciousness) and neglect­ One of the most dangerous things on this plane! is a ing the intellect (reasoning, understanding and exercising closed-minded human being.

This realization can explain the success of the movie "Dead Poet's Society." Robin Williams, as the See WHY page 8 David Bauman We must start preparing for the future Citizens of the world, let us not waste our best efforts "planning" for the 21st century, for the future is ultimately always unknown. Just as we cannot analyze that which does not as yet exist, wecannotplan for reality we have not as yet created. Planning is a valuable tool we can use to increase or decrease the odds for success or failure in a probability, guessing game that is life, but when plans become tena­ cious destinies, visions and values become acutely myopic. The environmental pol­ lution produced by the Industrial Revo­ lution was not the result of poor planning; it was the result of our efforts to force the ultimate reality of our environment to fit the created reality of our plans. Infinitely more powerful than "plan­ ning" is the resilience, flexibility and creativity of "preparation"-preparation to deal with the unknownsof the 21st century as they come at us and preparation for a world-wide peaceful socio-economic revolution that will do for our socio-eco­ nomic problems what the Industrial Revolution has done for technology. The Industrial Revolution was not the consequence of intellectual analysis; it was the product of creative invention. The intensely analyticalnatureofmodemnews journalism combined with incredibly successful inventions in mass communi­ cations from the 20th century has created a condition for us in which we are acutely aware of our problems but painfully un­ aware of solutions. In short, if it is our intention to solve problems, then we have been using the wrong pattern for learning. We have been analyzing in an attempt to understand rather than creating in an at­ tempt to solve. Analysis renders under­ standing long after invention creates so­ lution. Creative invention is the sophisticated art of knowing what to try and how to make error productive. With trial comes enor, and with error comes failure. It is from the depths of human failure that maverick inventions will rise to determine the destiny of the 21st century. The ben­ efits from these inventions will evade those of us who fail to overcome fear of failure, and if enough of us fail, peace in the 21st century will mean nothing more than the absence of war. Without fear, courage has no meaning, and withoutcourage, integrityhas no value. There is no more important thing that we might do than to do the right thing. For when you and I become fierce competitors for limited capital in a world market, it is only our ethics that will prevent us from becoming mortal enemies. Without the commitment to self-discipline inherent in the notion of integrity, democracy is little more than a Utopian theory. Without the integrity of self-discipline, international peace agreements are little more than cosmetic Band-Aids placed on mortal wounds that buy time between wars. Only in our commitment to sound etliics do we assumeresponsibilityforeachother'swellbeing. We need to learn to guess, and we need to learn to do it well. For now, forget the little things. Guess what will happen if we allow the world population to double ev­ ery 50 years? Guess what will happen if we allow pollution to destroy the protec­ tive ozone layer? Guess what will happen if we destroy the tropical rainforests? Actually, this isn't what I really mean by "learning to guess well."Instead, guess which proposed solution to limiting world population is the best one based on current knowledge, and go for it! Go in; take your losses; learn from it; guess again; and try again. Do your best; expect no more. Do nothing and gain nothing. Do nothing and lose! Guessing the consequences for known problems using the process of analysis is child's play next to the task, risk and commitment of the guesses that surround the process of creativeinvention. The more we come to view fear of failure as some­ thing to be avoided like the plague, the more we lose our immunity to its conse­ quences. If we are to live in harmony with each other then we must first live in harmony with the notion that nothing will ever happen before it is supposed to—at least not anything good. Patience, however, must never become our excuse for failing to do the right thing when the opportunity to succeed presents itself, nor should it ever be mistaken for weakness. Character development (overcoming fear, ethical drive, good judgment, per­ sistence, patience and self-discipline) in conjunction with planning is the prepara­ tion we need to survive and prosper in the 21st century. The action of "planning for the future," in and of itself, is nothing more than an organized expression of hope based on guesses, and hope, in and of itself, is just a dream. But character devel­ opment is something else! Character de­ velopment is our reason for hope. For each time we increase character develop­ ment, we decrease by multiple factors the frequency and intensity of our socioeco­ nomic problems. We will have no reason for faith in world peace until we have reason to believe that our adversaries have developed their characters to the point that they have no need to destroy us and do, in fact, have an interest in our personal well-being. Trial and error on a massive scale must inevitably involve bureaucracy, but not as we know it. Critical to the notion of progress in the 21st century will be the conversion of our power and structureoriented bureaucracies to functional progress-oriented mechanisms forchange. Bureaucracies must be redesigned around the engineering principle that form follows function—that form (structure) changes as function charges. Chain of command style bureaucracies are designed for crisismanagement, and until we redesign bu-, reaucracies to functionally manage! progress and change, crisis will be the; only product our bureaucracies can man­ age to produce simply because they are unable to functionally alter themselves to meet thedemands of constructiveprogress. One of the most formidable obstacles to' change is law and understandably so. It is the intent andpurposeof law to add stability and order to life, but when law dooms us to be stagnant, it eventually prescribes its own reform. The prescription for the 21st century ! has not as yet been written. It is long overdue, for law knows not the value of trial and error. A litigation society that expects to take no losses can make no gains. Equal rights combined with unequal responsibility never equals justice. Justice which excludes the truth in an attempt to be unbiased has as much constructive value as a juror who knows nothing. The incredible task of the 21st century is to constructively modify all of the complex interrelated factors which effect our socio-economic problems—character development, education, bureaucracies, patterns for learning, law and justice, po­ litical systems, etc. Furthermore, because these factors are interrelated, we must modify them all at the same time without paying the price of oppression. As potential solutions unfold, who will possess the power to convert these ideas into practical reality? Who will be in con­ trol? If democracy prevails, then "we the people" will be in control; "we the people" will engage in a massive process of trial and error in which failures are inevitable. "We" the citizens of the world must be ready—ready for a future that has already begun. Editor'sNote: Mattsen is an adult correc­ tions officer from Finlayson. Af.V. Establishments cause stress Grocery stores should keep buggies up or pay for dented vehicles 1 are we kidding. Luke? We know this is going to oe just another standoff. To the Editor; To ail people who are sick and tired of insensitive and uncaring corporation companies like Food Lion, stand up and let your grievances be heard. I myself was involved in an accident in the Burlington Food Lion. The wind was blowing and a cart accelerated toward the back end of my parent's Cutlass Cierra. Through the law of strict liability they should pay. But they won't and the dent is in the car and the taillight is busted. I would be breaking the law if I decided to drive the car. Food Lion didn't intentionally place the cart in a position that would induce the cart for potential damage; its patrons did. I can find endless correlations for why Food Lion was liable. Consider a truck that is carrying toxic waste somewhere. A person pulls out in front of the truck and the truck slams on the brakes, and yet the truck turns over. The company by its action is liable because of inherent risk. There are certain risks involved in running a business, and Food Lion should bear the responsibility of its consumers. I have seen some respon­ sible grocery centers put poles on the cart so that they can only be taken to the loading zone. At that point the workers load up the groceries in the car. No risk and less hassle, cheaper and the public and the business profit. While Food Lion may brag about its cutting cost on the groceries, (while, in fact they do) this shouldn't mean they cut their responsibilities. If a Food Lion manager would like to address the situation and give me their side publicly or privately, then by all means start writing. Also another thing worth noticing is that the manager handled the situation poorly and was uncaring and extremely unprofessional in the dealings with us, the customers. I am not intimidated by such threats such as slander and liable because I have proof and the truth to back me up. I personally don't care too much about the money. It's the fact that Food Lion doesn't care about me the customer. Then again maybe it is the money, and the fact that our suffering was a direct cause of Food Lion. William Kelly Needham ASU Box 9600 Our nation is throwing morals out the window so it can hold on to rights To the Editor; I would just like to respond to Hoj Harvey's article (Tuesday, Oct. 23) \ referred to Christians as "Biblethumpers." This is not an issu< over rights; it is an issue of moralityobviously something this nation has sight of over the past few decades. Unfortunately, this young woman a distorted view of Jesus Christ. Jesu no slave driver who came to put peop under bondage. No philosophy professor or religion professor can gia true or accurate account of who Jesi really is until they come into a persor relationship with Him. Jesus is the w; to real life. See LETTERS page 8 �Letters Continued from page 7 Continued from page 7 The world needs people who will seek the truth. Our present educational system falls short in teaching us how to think. Don t go through life believing only what you ve been told. Analyze situations and discuss important issues. Be willing to give up your prejudices for new truth. Make intellectual honesty your banner. In a shallow-minded world, each of us. is faced with the great challenge to think and to question. Exercise that right that separates us from all living things on this earth. Think. It is too bad that people today try to find peace and happiness through other means when Jesus has made it so easy. It is only through Him you will ever find true contentment. The Bible also says that God has made the wisdom of the world look foolish; the divine wisdom of God is wiser than me wi^cr man the wisdom of God is wiser than the wisdom of man, and the divine weakness of God is stronger than the strength of any man. This campus, as well as this nation, needs to take a look at how low our "rights" have taken us and how low we will continue to go as long as we go our own way, denying the fact of a sovereign God.

An additional terminal is currently being installed in Belk Library. According to Jones, "About half of the faculty has access to VideoTxt from their own computers." "All-in-one," an office automation system, provides message ca­ pabilities for offices throughout campus and all over the world. V ideoTxt is a product of Digital Corporation, which gives campus software li­ cense grants. The software for the progam. which would have cost 535,000, was free with the uni­ versity only having to pay for documen­ tation. Jones said the whole system only cost 51,000, and the money came from the Computer Management budget. According to Jones, through VideoTxt students and faculty have access to employment oppor­ tunities on cam­ pus, directories, calendars of up­ coming events, attendance poli­ cies, academic policies and computer infor­ mation systems on campus. There are many new pro­ grams for VideoTxt in the planning stages right no w.Jones said plans 46 In October more than 6,000 inquiries were made from public terminals. 99 are being made to enter the course catalog into the system. He also stated that he would like each department to have planned seminarsand guest speakers listed in the program. Another option Jones commented on that is being looked into is listing closed courses for registration so students can look and see if their courses are available before fighting their way through the lines at registrtion. According toJones, theuse of VideoTxt has been growing steadily since its imple­ mentation. In October more than 6,000 inquiries were made from public termi­ nals. Eighty-seven of these were made from computer systems off campus. Jones expects the number of inquiries to grow considerably as more features appear. Appalachian's system was modeled af­ ter similar programs at N.C. State and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which have been available to stu­ dents for two years. According to Jones, by January it will be possible to get into systems at N.C. State, UNC-CH, UNC Greensboro, UNC Wilimington and any other schools that use this system. Post office encounters criticism Ml Yet employees state they are role models for other schools ''1!• By BRIAN CALAWAY Appalachian Staff Writer and •I » » » * ^Rwwfjf 7* ¥****# RAE BEASLEY Editor-in-Chief ** i *•<> * ** * ' AppstmctHsn Photo by Iroy Noraca • S MAIL FACILITIES: Over 130,000 pieces of mail go through the post office everyday for students, faculty and staff, •fog to Post Master Ralph Yates. The letters, boxes and packages are sorted, and the mail room staff has the responsibility of tog lhat all mail received is correctly placed in the appropriate box and handled carefully. The ASU Post Office currently serves 13,800 mailboxes, all of the campus de­ partments, and the seven mail dropsaround campus. Twice each day the post office collects, sorts, returns, sends and delivers mail, according to Assistant Postmaster Greg Forrester. According to Forrester, when mail ar­ rives from the Hickory Regional Post Office at 7:30 a.m., it is sorted and de­ livered to each mailbox by 11 a.m. Out­ going mail is then sorted and sent to Hickory, campus departments or students. When the afternoon shipment arrives, the process is repeated and mailboxes are filled by 4 p.m. Forrester said he can't believe any criticism of slow delivery. "Unless something unusual happens, students do get their mail the same day it is delivered to us," Forrester said. The ASU Post Office has a staff of 12 full-time and three part-time employees. They also hire 10 to 12 students a semes­ ter. Postmaster Ralph Yates feels his staff does good work. "It's tedious work, but we have one of the best university post offices in the country because of (the staff)," Yates said. College representatives from around the nation use ASU as a model, according to Yate>. Yates credits Chancellor John Thomas and the ASU Trustees for the success of the post office. "They have given us the confidence and the equipment to get the job done the best way we know how," Yates said. "Western Carolina's postal budget is three times ours, and it takes them three times as long to deliver mail," Yates added. ASU has one of a few university post offices in the country that offer full ser­ vice. One organization delivers and sends mail, sells stamps, provides money or­ ders, rates mail and offers overnight service. The only difference between this and a federally run post office is the lack of draft registration and green stamps, ac­ cording to Yates and Forrester. Students pay for 25 percent of the post office budget. Student organizations can send information to members for free, and each group is allowed one mass mailing per semester. Students, however, are not allowed to send mail on campus without postage. Last year the post office stopped the taping of materials to the outside* of mailboxes. This was done because federal law states it is illegal to attach materials to anything used as a reception facility for United States mail without paying post­ age. Some students have raised questions concerning whether newspapers and magazines are thrown out. According to Forrester, this is not the case. "We keep newspapers as long as we can. The most current paper is put in and the oldest is taken out and stored until the space is needed for something else," Forrester said. He added that this problem See POST page 2 uition cost is expected to continue its climb Wwthe 10th year in a row, college * nscn faster than the rate of '"Utile College Board reported Sept. ^ 1 ^ h, moreover, can expect tuition 'Prising faster than other prices into J#8'54'!'6 ^uture' '"her sources say.

Watrast the Consumer Price Index, government's barometer of Americans pay for everything from food to gas to housing, rose by 4.5 percent from 1989 to 1990. The College Board, a New York-based non-profit group best known as the over­ seer of standardized admission tests, blamed declining state funding for the price hikes at most public campuses. In late September, for example, many Virginia public campuses added emer­ gency tuition "surcharges" to help them make up for a drastic cut in state education funding.

General probation is the precedent for these offenses. Notice of the action is recorded in the Office of Student Devel­ opment and a notice is given to the stu­ dent. A conviction for a repeated offense for any reason may result in suspension. Court records show that a majority of the cases tried this year involve alcohol infractions. According to Debbie Osterhoudt, chief justice for student court, "Since the be­ ginning of the semesters there have been 103 cases found guilty but only eight in the past two weeks." Osterhoudt said she believes this to be a low number of guilty cases considering the amount for the entire semester. spectively, to already-announced tuition hikes. California state campuses, facing similar cuts, may increase registration fees by 10 percent next year, even after trying to save money this year by canceling course sec­ tions and laying off employees. Enrollment declines left many schools with fewer students around to pay them tuition. "All types of colleges and uni­ versities were affected by a decline in the number of traditional students," noted the College Board report. Private campuses generally had to raise their prices to cover the costs of higher faculty salaries and maintaining buildings. Students at "middle echelon" private campuses tended to suffer the biggestprice hikes of all this year, added Arthur Hauptman, a consultant to the American Council on Education in Washington, D.C. For example. University of Puget Sound students are paying 51,120, an increase of 10.9 percent more in tuition this year than in 1989-90. "We held a protest," said Lisa Larson of the Washington school's student govern­ ment. "When you come to this university, they don't tell you to expect a 10.9 percent increase every year. The rate of financial aid doesn't increase" to cover the extra expense, Larson maintained. Puget Sound President Philip M. Phibbs said the extra money, which adds up to 53.3 million, would pay for faculty sala­ ries, improved services and increased student aid. "We want to be in a com­ petitive position in the 1990s," he ex­ plained. Campuses are as diverse as Jacksonville State, Temple, Penn State, Michigan State and Harvard universities, the universities of Utah and Tennessee, and Madisonville (Ky.) and Tyler (Texas) community col­ leges cited similar reasons for raising their prices this year. Yet the benefits are not always obvious to students. While Puget Sound's Larson agreed some of her professors deserve to be paid more, "it's disappointing when I have professors that aren't worth (the in­ crease)." The few campuses that did not impose hikes this year say they may lose faculty members who, living on modest salaries, could opt for higher-paying jobs at other schools or in private industry. "Our fac­ ulty salary increases (this year) were mini­ mal," said Bob Woggon, a spokesman for Northern Illinois University, which along with Illinois State and Sangamon State universities froze tuition at 1989-90 lev­ els. "That puts (the university) in a very bad position." But a tuiuon increase predicted for next year may scare away students, said Sangamon State spokesman Porter McNeil. "We're afraid we're going to lose students," he said. "It's always a last resort to raise tuition." A variety of schools that don't want to raise tuition precipitously raise student fees instead. In the past year, the univer­ sities of Wisconsin, California and North Carolina at Chapel Hill, as well as Michigan State and Indiana universities, announced fee hikes. Fee raising is "especially prevalent in states where colleges have little or no control" over their budgets, said Hauptman, author of several national tu­ ition studies. Officials at the 34 State University of New Yorkcampuses, for example, created or drastically hiked a half dozen fees stu­ dents must pay for transportation, health and other services.

BRODIE App»l»chUn SUIT WrIUr The International Friendship Association began in 1986 with 20 foreign and American students. The goal of the association is "to fosternationalism," said Tom Adams, director of the International Studies Office. With this goal in mind, IFA has grown into an organization of 50 members from the United States and abroad who are trying to make the world seem a little smaller. IFA exists for two reasons. One is to help students from other countries feel at home. According to Shumona Nag, the president of IFA, students come from abroad with a "mediacreated" idea of America. They find there is a culture-shock between the way they were edu­ cated and lived in their homelands and America's standards. The IFC acts as a "buffer zone" where students can share the concerns and successes they are experiencing here and also learn about the other countries represented in the association. IFA also exists for the American students. The organization's motto this year is: "We're trying to help provide a 'real' education." Nag feels that many students graduate from college with a limited perspective on life and modes of thought. These limitations breed a fear of other people and a desire to change them to fit an ideal which is comfortable to them. Nag hopes IFA can inspire students to strive to understand and not simply tolerate. Toleration, Nag believes, suggests the belief that we are somehow better. From the "goodness of our hearts" we put up with someone or something we don't understand. Through un­ derstanding, students will recognize that although people dress, speak and look differently, we are all part of the "human spectrum." "Unity in diversity is what IFA wants to preserve," Nag said. IFA is open to anyone who would like to join. The organization believes the greater the number of people they have, the greater the exchange of ideas. "We're not just a religious club; we're not just aasocial club. We talk about the aspects of everything in life," Nag said. Although IFA members discuss various aspects of their cultures, they also try to bring the experi­ ence to others. Members accomplish this by hav­ ing an International Banquet every year. During this event, international students prepare meals from their nativecountries andshow-off the features that make their cultures unique. According to Nag, this year's banquet was very well received. "Many people have told us this was our most successfu1one." This year's ev ent inc1uded American and international entertainment and a fashion show where students modeled clothing from around the world. Although the banquet was successful, there were still some problems with having an event of this size and style on campus and staying within uni­ versity policy.

By ANGELA CLONTZ Appalachian Staff Writer Athletic events are a major part of the college experience. In the North Carolina region, they are also a major form of entertainment But colleges and universities cannot provide the athlete with all the support he needs. That is why, here at ASU, there is the Yosef Club. Everyone knows that Yosef is the ASU mascot. But some may not know how Yosef got his name. Yosef is mountain talk for "yourself," meaning all the students, alumni, parents and members of the Boone community that support ASU sports. The Yosef Club is an organization through which the ASU fans can show their support. The Yosef Club raises scholarship money to help provide financial aid to athletes to combat college costs. Membership into the Yosef Club is gained by making a contribution to the athletic scholarship offered by the club. As pride in ASU athletes is not limited to students and alumni, neither is memSPORTS WITHIN THE COLLEGE: ASU offers students the chance to participate in team and individual/dual sports as well as various special acuvmes. bership into the club.

The answer to that is ASU Intramural Sports. Intramural activities range from the relaxing (horseshoes and golf) to the fast-paced (flag foot­ ball, team handball), to the just plain fun (razzle dazzle and water basketball). All that is necessary for you to compete is to fill out an entry form, turn it in before the deadline—and then just do it. Entry is unlimited. You may enter as many activities as you wish and any Appalachian student, faculty member or staff person can participate. Basically, there are three areas of intramural activities: team sports, individual/dual sports, and special activi­ ties. Team sports include soccer (indoor and outdoor), flag football, team handball, water polo, volleyball and basketball (which had the greatest participation last year with nearly 300 teams). Team rosters are unlimited, allowing each team to have as many team members as itdesires. A captain is required to represent each team at mandatory captains' meet­ ings.

Co-rec activities—a takeoff on the term co-educational— pair both male and female athletes together. "Corec is usually less competitive and lets people make friends and meet people," said Jim Eubanks, in­ tramural director. Co-rec sports include flag foot­ ball, volleyball, 2-on-2 basketball, water basketball and others. Intramural events that don't fall under any of the above categories are handled by special activities. Special activities this semester were golf, minigolf, the Big Apple Road Race, the weekend softball tournament and the wrestling tournament. Occasionally, as in the case with golf and minigolf, there is a small fee to pay which covers facilities that are off campus. All other events which are played on campus are free of charge. C oordinated by Tim Jennings, special events are usually one- or two-day affairs. However, this does not make them any less important. The winners, as in all intramural activities, are awarded with in­ tramural champion t-shirts. Additionally, winners of team events get the name of their team placed on a plaque. Of course, the one thing that can never be avoided in sports is competition. One way the intramural department recognizes this and adds fun to the program throughout the year is with the university points system. University points are awarded all year long to both team and individual/ dual athletes for winning events or placing second, third, etc. Additionally, teams that reach tourna­ ment play also receive points. The points are fig­ ured after each event and are compounded to determine the all-university points champion. The system encourages involvement in intramural ac­ tivities while also promoting group togetherness for the teams competing foT the points. Competi­ tors for university points can be any ASU club or organization or just an independent group of people without affiliation to any organization. One of the newest things going on at the intra­ mural department is their' Rec Rep' program. This program was started so more of the student body could be aware of upcoming events and hopefully participate in them. Each rec rep is a representative of a campus residence hall, club or organization. The reps are responsible for going back to their people and keeping them informed about intramurals. They are also given flyers that they can post in their residence hall or meeting place. The flyers, which are frequently seen at the Quinn Center or Broome-Kirk Gym, publicize upcoming events and their deadlines By getting flyers out early with the reps, it is hoped that more people will know about intramurals. One may wonder how all of these things could possibly happen during the span of a year. The solution is the intramural staff. Jim Eubanks, a graduate of ASU, is the director. Underneath him are coordinators and many student employees. Most student employees serve in the capacity of refereeuig for team sports. Coordinated by Mike Byrd, the referees are required to attend training sessions before they can referee intramural games. The intramural office is located in Broome-Kirk Gym and can be reached at 262-2100. Anyone interested in refereeing. being a Rec Rep or par­ ticipating in any other intramural activity is en­ couraged to stop by or call the office and speak with one nf the ronrHinatntc h, duty �-T/lg Appalachian Support Continued from page 3 Membership in the club comes with special privileges. The extent of these privileges is based on the amount that is contributed to the scholarship fund and/or the members' loyalty to the club. These privileges take various forms but the two most sought after are priority parking and priority seating ai the games. Before the home games, Yosef Club members can go to the Yosef Club room in the field house and have a snack and beverage while they wait for the game to start. But the club's activities are not limited to the home games. The club also sponsors alumni receptions before away games so that alumni in other areas can still enjoy the spirit of ASU sports in their home towns. According to Yosef Club adviser. Mark Dreibelbis, most of these receptions are held during football and basketball season because those are the sports that receive the most support. This does not mean that the other sports are left out of the Yosef Club's agenda. Activities such as hot dog roasts are held before baseball and soccer games and other ASU sport matches. The Yosef Club has been ui existence —.> C^vh in cAisicnce for almost 20 years. Some people may be + American Red Cross Tiwsdnx Mpyemhpr A JQQfl skeptical of a group which supports stu­ dent athletes, feeling that these students are already getting more special privi­ leges that the non-athleticstudents .Stories of unfair academic practices in favor of the athletes have appeared with increasing regularity in the past few years.This is not the case at ASU. According to Dreibelbis. ASU athletes have harder academic re­ quirements than at some of the other col­ leges with full athletic programs. ASU's academic standards for its athletes are stricter than those supported by the NCAA. For the past few years, the graduation rate among student athletes has been higher than the normal graduate rate. For the past few years, ASU's student athlete gradua­ tion rate has ranked a constant first or second within the North Carolina Uni­ versity system. Dreibelbis calls the members of the Yosef Club the "Appalachian Family." This "family" allows ASU fans to be more involved in the games and gives the fan the privileges which can make the game more enjoyable. Interested in a Career as a Paralegal?

"It was ingestion of what level the players mid play at and how long they could lain it" "Our seniors hadn't stepped up until this weekend," Rex said. "They did in the tournament, and it couldn't have come at a better time." The Mountaineers played both overtime periods without Rex who received a redcard late in regulation and was ejected from the contest.

Furman scored 15 seconds later on a Kyle Vogen goal to pull to within one 3-2, but the Mountaineers held on to come away the upset win. The Mountaineers then met secondseeded The Citadel in the championship game and edged the Bulldogs 5-4 in an overtime shootout. The game was tied 1-1 at the end of regulation and neither team was able to score in two 15-minute overtime periods, forcing the shootout. The teams were tied 4-4 after the first four rounds of the shootout, but in the fifth round The Citadel's Powell Williams' attempt sailed wide right. Terry, the Apps leading scorer on the season, then stepped up andnailed a boot passed Bulldog goalie Brad Brisson to give the Mountaineers a 5-4 victory and the conference champi­ onship. "I told David that there was no pressure on that shot," Rex said."1 told him that if he missed the shot we would still be tied. He just came through." The Mountaineers outshot the Bulldogs 31-21 in thecontest, and goalkeeper David Broderick made 11 saves to lead the Apps. Brisson made 15 saves for the Bulldogs. "The team's physical and mental effort was tremendous," Rex said. "They were almost too tired to celebrate, butnotquite." Appalachian's Andy Salandy was named the tournament's most valuable player. "We moved Andy to sweeperback, and he just did an outstanding job for us," Rex said. In addition to Salandy, Lee, Mittag and Terry made the All-Tournament team. The Mountaineers finished the season with a 10-11-1 record and became the lowest seeded team to ever win the con­ ference tournament. "All our seniors finished their careers on a winning note, and I think that's im­ portant," Rer. said. The Thundering Herd, who kept pos­ session of the ball for more than 40 min­ utes, accumulated 450 yards of total of­ fense and 26 first downs. Quarterback Michael Payton led the Herd assault, t completing 18 of 31 passes for 274 yards and three touchdowns before leaving the game with a bruised hip in the third quar­ ter. "We just could not control their passing game at all," Moore said. "I can't say enough about how their offense played." Marshall's defense was impressive as well, holding the Mountaineers to season lows of 98 yards of total offense and five first downs, while intercepting seven ASU passes. ASU moved the ball into Marshall territory only twice in the contest and penetrated only to the HerdT?5-yard line. In addition, the Herd defense held the Mountaineers to a mere 1.69 yards per play. "I thought we had a good scheme of­ fensively going into thegame. but we just got so far behind early,' Moore said. Marshall seized control of the game early, as they scored on their first four possessions of the contest. The Herd took the lead as Payton con­ nected with tight end Eric Inhat on a 32yard touchdown pass. Dewey Klein's extra point attempt was blocked, and Marshall led 6-0 just 2:57 into the contest. On the Mountaineers' second offen­ sive play of the game, quarterback D.J. Campbell overthrew intended receiver John Brown and Marshall free safety Joe Chirico nabbed the first of his school record three interceptions, giving the Herd the ball on the Appalachian 30-yard line. The Thundering Herd scored five plays later when Payton fired a 23-yard touch­ down pass to split end Andre Motley.The Herd's two-point conversion attempt failed and they led 12-0 with 9:51 to play in the first quarter. After an ASU punt, Marshall drove 32 yards in four plays and scored again on a Glenn Pedro 15-yard run. Klein's extra point gave the Thundering Herd a 19-0 lead at the end of the first quarter. Klein added a 22-yard field goal to increase the Marshall advantage to 22-0 with 13:30 to go in the second quarter. having lost earlier to Clemson 48-0 and North Carolina State 56-0. Prior to this season ASU had gone 74 consecutive games without being shutout.

I periodically go to my mail box to "change the air" or receive a letter from my parental units. Yesterday, I went to the post office and received not only a letter from my parental units but a letter from AT&T for their "Student Saver Plan" and other discounts. This infuriated me and let me tell you why this wretched little letter bothered me so. About a month ago I was sitting in my humble abode reading 'The Appalachian" and I saw aGod send. AT&T ran a whole-page ad on all its savings plans. I saw the tollfree number, called the operator and we started going through all the available "savings plans." "When do you make your calls, day or night,"he asked. I replied that I make calls when ever I feel like it Then he asked, "Where do you make your calls, out of sute or in state?" "Out of state, always! I feel like I'm working for AT&T because that is where my pay check is going," I continued to explain. He said he would do his best and proceeded to plug all thai information into his computer and came up with the Reach Out America Plan which was 25 percent off this and 10 percent off that when you call at this time and an hour free. I like the "hour free" part and he said that all of these wonderful savings would be in effect the next day. The next day came, and I was calling Timbuktu and South East Asia and anywhere else I could think of. I was in heaven. A couple of days later, I was cleaning my side of my humble abode and found a telephone bill from the first month that I was here. It was something like $2.56, and it had a letter attached saying there might be charges from the previous occupant of the room on the bill, so if there was any questions call "So and So". I called Miss "So and So" of Southern Bell and asked her about the charges that were made, and she proceeded to tell that there was a call made to Vero Beach, Fla.

I came back with "Well, why did you all put a whole-page ad in our school newspaper?" She said that it wasn't Southern Bell, it was AT&T who put the ad in the paper. So I waited until I got my bill.

I told her that I didn't look at it thoroughly, and for some-odd reason I asked her what my bill might be for the coming month since I was now on the Reach Out America Plan. She asked me where I lived, and I told her the campus of ASU. Now, here is the reason why I was infuriated about that little letter I was telling you about. She said that ASU students who live on campus in dorms can't have any reduced programs because it was a special contract with Southern Bell and ASU. Calmly I asked her, "What!?! You mean to tell me that as we speak, I don't have reach out America." She promptly said, "Yes, that's right." the far side By GARY LARSON f . w the small band of hunter-gatherers sat cleaning their weapons, one made the Mistake of looking at his club straight on. a r °und See WHERE page 8 Professor separates fact from fiction It is everyone's responsibility to stay in constant touch with what a I Marly se Rappoport When I called, Igot an operator whose first day was the day that I called with this problem, so 1 gritted my teeth and beared all I could. (Honestly she was nice, scared but nice). I told her my problem, and she put me on hold. She came back and said that she could only give me$15.22 off my bill. I told her, "Hey, I signed up for this over the phone. Don't you guys have in your computers the areas in which this plan is void?" The classic answer was given, "No." I got off the phone and started ranting and raving to my boyfriend, and I stopped and thought, "I'll call back tomorrow, get somebody different and maybe get a better deal." I approached my boyfriend about this this idea, and he said that it was probably in the computer and that it wouldn't be nice. Nice? I don't want to be nice, I thought but I ended up doing just that. I ended up paying my bill, and actually, I had my phone turned off because I know that if the phone is there I am going to use it. But what really irks me is that AT&T would put this whole-page ad in the paper knowing that the majority of the people who read the paper live in residence halls and probably have long distance. They probably would say, "This ad is for the people who live off campus." Well, I called up the Residence Facilities and talked to a very nice secretary, and she told me that the situation mentioned above also occurred some years ago. There was a contract made between ASU and Southern Bell. I know we're not talking about Southern Bell, we are talking about AT&T. But anyway, Southern Bell does the billing for AT&T, and they can set certain standards and contracts if they so choose. Let me bring up one thing that the Residence Facilities secretary told me. In the contract set up, Southern Bell lets all of ASU have free telephone service. That's all well and An enlighted view of homosexuality and an end to homophobia is overdue To the Editor: To win an election, Senator Jesse Helms now runs base T.V. ads exploiting public fear of and prejudice against homo exuality. I am an academic psychologist aware of much information about homosexuality. I don't believe Senator Helms has updated his thinking beyond pious moralizing and vicious stone casting. A generation ago, psychology psychiatry gave up classifying homo­ sexuality as "illness" or as "perversion." Extensive studies find that sexual attraction is not something that one chooses. Richard Green's 1987 review of his 15 years ongoing development studies find leanings toward homosexu­ ality appear in earliest childhood and continue throughout lifetime. Parental behaviors and/or childhood seductions used to get the blame, but the notion that homosexual ways are acquired as a result of this or that postnatal life experiences has fewer and fewer proponents among those who study the problem. There is evidence that prenatal hormonal experiences impact on sexual orientation. Female sheep who receive male sex hormones early in fetal existence develop masculiznized genitals and homosexual mating behaviors. Other female sheep who receive these same hormones late in uterine development look and grow like normal female sheep, but they are homosexual in behavior. Among human beings, the "adrenogenital syndrome" is a geneti­ cally based problem in which the adrenal glands secrete male-like hormones instead of those normally secreted. Intervention at birth stops the faulty secretions; minor surgery corrects some beginning masculinization of the female genitalia; and a lifelong hormone replacement regime, more or less, makes everything normal. Despite """*"i°™ No evidence finds homosexuality on the rise. Surveys today find the incidence about the same as half a generation ago. The public is more aware of homosexuals than it was in previous generations. This is because gays have come out of the closet to protest discrimination and victimiza­ tion, and to fight for their rights. Homophobics and sex bigots think gays are out proselytizing and spreading gayness. They are helping gay people recognize themselves and band together in sympathetic alliance, but all evidence finds no increase in the percentage of homosexuality in the general population. Heterosexuals gain from homo­ sexual openness today. The punitive and moralistically condemning approach of the past impelled many distressed, conflict-torn homosexuals to try to turn heterosexual. They tried to conform to society's demands. They married opposite sexed partners, often with tragic consequences. They did not change. Even if they did not return to homosexual liaisons outside marriage, relationships were unloving and heartbreaking to the rejected partner. Many such marriages failed, whether or not ended by divorce. Now out of the closet, doomed-to-failure pairings between heterosexuals and homosexu­ als attempting-to-go-straight are less likely. People are freer to follow their natural inclinations. Homosexuality is a variation in sexual preference which is apparently present from birth. A humane society should come to realize that homosexu­ als can no more switch from homo­ sexual to heterosexual interest than we heterosexuals can switch to homo­ sexual interest. An enlightened view of homosexuality and an end to homophobia are long overdue. If Harvey Gantt has such a view, professionals will applaud his stand. By contrast, the homophobic views of Jesse Helms are fairly characterized as uncharitable, uncaring, uninformed, undemocratic and unconscionable. J. Dan Duke Psychology Depaitment Helms spokesperson has grouped all Democrats in the same category To the Editor: I am writing in response to Jesse Helms' aide's comments about Harvey Gantt in the Oct. 25 issue of "The Appalachian." The comment that I wish to address specifically is Ms. Beth Burrus' assertion that "If there were more senators like Helms and less tax and spend liberals like Harvey Gantt and Ted Kennedy, we would not have the budget problems that we have right now." It seems to me that any Republican candidate in the United States who has absolutely nothing to run on other than his or her own poor record uses Edward Kennedy as a whipping boy. I recognize that Kennedy's political views are to the left of the average Democrat; however, for Jesse Helms' campaign to compare a mainstream, progressive Democrat like Harvey Gantt to Ted Kennedy is simply ridiculous. If Jesse Helms' definition of a liberal is someone whose views are even slightly to the left of his own, then I guess that everyone else in the United States, including such people as George Bush and Bob Dole, would have to be considered liberals. Instead of talking about issues. Helms is concerned with labels. The ridiculous comparisons of Gantt to Kennedy not only come from his press person, Beth Burrus, but from the literature being passed out by his campaign. In one of their pieces of literature, it is pointed out that Kennedy called Gantt after he (Gantt) beat Mike Easley in the June Democratic prima­ ries.-The insinuation is that, because Gantt received a call from Kennedy, he must be a liberal like Kennedy. If George Bush received a call from Kennedy, would that make him a liberal? If Kennedy called the Republi­ can David Duke, would that somehow transform Duke into a liberal? The lack of logic in such a comparison is appalling. Another distortion in Burrus' statement is that America would not have budget problems if it were not for "...tax and spend liberals like Harvey Gantt..." The facts do not sustain this inaccurate statement: It is a fact that the national debt was at approximately $800 billion when President Carter left office. It is also a fact that the debt is now approximately $3 trillion afteT 10 years of a Republican White House. The Republicans would have you believe that the Democratic Congress It is a fact that for six years the Senate was Republican; likewise, it is a fact that Jimmy Carter's last budget contained a projected budget deficit of approximately $60 billion. Reagan's first budget contained a deficit twice this. Because of Republican rule, we have been running a deficit of about $300 billion a year and have mort­ gaged our own (and our children's) future by tripling the national debt. No, Ms. Burrus, I think that if we had more Democrats like Gantt running things and less Republicans like Helms and Reagan, the national debt would be much lower. The next time that you see someone from the Helms' campaign, please inform them that Jesse is running against Harvey Gantt, not Teddy Kennedy - they seem to have a hard time remembering this. Finally, I would like to encourage everyone to vote for Harvey Gantt on Nov. 6. Eighteen years of "representation" by a man who is out of touch with main­ stream North Carolina is enough. Randy Hill ASU Box 15737 Student does not want voters to forget Dan Green at the polls To the Editor: When students go to the polls on election day, I hope they will remember to cast their votes for Dan Green for U.S. Congress. Dan has visited the ASU campus several times over the course of this campaign. He has promised to fight for the best for the 10th District when ho goes to Washington. Unlike the cunent incumbent Dan will not vote against student loans that make it possible for working families to send their children to college. Dan Green will also be aggressive in the task of cleaning up our environment. Our incumbent was recently rated only 18th from the bottom out of 435 congressmen for environmental concern. Dan Green has the endorse­ ment of every major environmental group. Dan has said that it is a disgrace that American children are less prepared to meet the challenges of the future due to the neglect of education by our leaders. He is ready to work to change that and make America stronger. So please remember to vote on election day and remember to vote for the only candidate who will fight for what we really need. Vote Dan Green for U.S. Congress. Dan Masters ASU Box 18361 �-Ihe Appalachian.

I believe that I'm paying for this service, and since I am paying for this service, I should be able to have all the "savings" I can get. Just because South­ ern bell is "giving" the rest of the campus free telephone service, I'm still paying for long distance. I want Reach Out America. Let me tell you this folks, I doubt that the "free" service is free; it's probably coming out of your tuition and fees. All I am saying is that he who pays for his long distance should be able to benefit from all the advertisements of savings there are. I also believe that this contract should be updated because of the different phone systems there are. Maybe someone doesn t like AT&T and wants Sprint or MCI. If they have the money, they should be able to have the telephone service that they want. AT&T is at fault too because they did not put in the ad "void in certain areas." So there are two sides to be blamed. After this, I would welcome much more the letters from the parental units than these savings plans in which I can't par­ take. So if you see somebody coming out of the post office wild-eyed and ranting and raving about AT&T, I suggest you step aside.

The students are sincerely concerned with life in the county," Lawson said. Students don't come to Boone just to live, they come to help the community and the people in it." There are several campus groups that have helped raise money for the United Way including Kappa Delta and Phi Mu sororities, and Lambda Chi Alpha, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Alpha Tau Omega and Delta Chi fraternities. Kappa Delta spon­ sored a 5-K road race this past Sunday to aid the United Way. Some groups like the factthat themoney given to the United Way stays in the community. "We wanted to develop a lo­ cal philanthropy andhelpWataugaCounty at the same time," Phi Mu President Kimberley Co* said. According to Lawson, the purpose of the HighCountry United Way is to help the homeless, the hungry and the helpless. According to Lawson, students have made a large contribution to the United Way over the past few years, with Student Organizations raising $2,346 last year. "If you came to Boone you couldn't physically see the United Way," Lawson said. The Boone area United Way is not located in one specific building as it is in many larger cities. The Boone area United Way has 25 to 30 volunteers who make up the board of directors. Each board member serves for a four-year term. The United Way distributes money to 19 different organizations in North Caro­ lina; 18 of these organizations are in the Boone area. The 4-HofWataugaCounty, the Watauga Hunger Coalition, the Watauga Youth Network and the Ameri­ can RedCross are just afew of the groups that benefit from the Boone area United Way. The board of directors accepts bids jfom any community organization that would 1 ike to recei ve helpfrom the United Way. All of therequests are studied by an allocations committee and decisions are made based on community need. lallenger addresses senate The United Way goal for this year in Watauga County is $135,000. Students interested in helping the United Way can contact Lawson. People who can't con­ tribute money can volunteer time. As of now, over 200 people in the community give their time as volunteers to the United Way. Each year Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity presents a plaque to the student organiza­ tion that raises the most money for the United Way.

Congressman Ballenger said, konly thing that's wrong with this bill •twillcost $20 billion and will helponly 'pocent of the children." The basic idea of the Excellence in Education Act, according to Ballenger, is to train better teachers and reward them when they do a good job. It also will help raise the literacy rate in the United States. Ballenger also pointed out that this act will cost $800 million. Under the American Disability Act, a person can't discriminate against anyone with any kindof disability. Ballenger said AIDS was an issue that was discussed when Congress reviewed the act. "You cannot discriminate against ho­ mosexuals who may have a friend who has AIDS," Ballenger said. Balancing the budget was an issue that Ballenger also spent some time discuss­ ing. He said he was disappointed that the Pres ident George Bush approved thenew budget plan because of the tax increases. He pointed out that Bush's presidential campaign was centered around the prom­ ise of no new taxes. "I think that the president screwed up," Ballenger said. "He had promised no new taxes." Ballenger also addressed the current budget cris is and stated thatthe president' s first mistake with the budget was starting the budget summit himself. "He (Bush) invited the Democrats and Republicans to get together and work out the budget," Ballenger said. "But once he invited them in, everything that happened was his fault." Ballenger also thinks congress is spending too much of the taxpayer's money. Congress shouldn't be allowed any more money,"Ballenger said. "In the last 20 years, for every dollar increase in taxes they (Congress) got, they spent $1.50. When you are in terrible financial debt; you don't bring in new programs; you don't hire anybody new (in Washington), and you put a freeze on existing pro­ grams." In addition to Ballenger, Stephen Schmotzer, committee chairman for Off Campus/Community Affairs andSuzanne Swanson, a senate representative from Cannon spoke to the senate about Hunger Fight III.

'todent killed in wreck " JS Cavazos' predecessor, William Bennett, who now heads the government's "drug war"efforts, often traced thedefault buildup to colleges that were too wasteful, complacent and bureaucratic to solve the problems. Colleges, he often said, raised tuition because they knew students could gel federal financial aid to pay the higher prices. Students were to blame, too. When endorsing Reagan's plan to cut student financial aid in 1985, he suggested stu­ dents wouldhave toconsider "divestitures of certain sorts: like a stereo divestiture, an automobile divestiture, or a thrccweeks-at-the-beach divestiture." The Reagan administration's cut pro­ posals were part of a larger effort to pull the federal government out of education, which it believed should mostly be the responsibility of the states. Reagan, for example, came into office vowing to dismantle the U.S. Dept. of Education, then only eight months old. He also asked Congress to cut the stu­ dent aidbudget, among others, by as much as 50 percent in 1981 and 1982. To help save money, he advocated making students repay most of the federal aid they got. For the first time, the major­ ity of college aids dollars were lent, not granted. So, for the first time, students were graduating from college deeply in debt. The inability of newly minted grads, struggling in their first and probably low­ est-paying professional jobs, to make monthly college loan payments while try­ ing to establish households was a major reason the default rate grew so rapidly during the 1980s and threatens to bank­ rupt the entire student loan system in 1990, some say. "We weregiv ing loans to those with the least ability to pay them back," Bell said. "It's a miracle the defaults are as low as they are."

"The road (Rivers Street) has been a concern of the town and campus, especially with the building increase," said Evan Rowe, ASU safety officer. According to Boone Police records, there have been two accidents on Rivers Street involving pedestrians in 1990. On Oct 10, Dehui Yao, a visiting pro­ fessor from China, was struck by a car while crossing Stadium Drive. "The car did not see me, but it was at night" Yao said. Yao's left leg was broken in the acci­ dent. The diver was not charged. On April 30,Crystal Smith of Statesville was hit by a car at the intersection of Rivers Street and Ship Street. According to police records. Smith said she was crossing Rivers Street when acar in the lane closest to her stopped; how­ ever, another car traveling in the next lane did not see her and maintained speed. Smith was hit by the car but refused transport to the hospital. Smith was charged with failure to cross at a crosswalk. Last Friday, Oct. 26, there was an acci­ dent at the crosswalk in front of Walker Hall involving twocars. The Policereport plated that a car was stopped at the crosswalk to let pedestrians cross. Another car struck the stopped car from behind. According to ASU security and the administration, there have been no com­ plaints about the crosswalk in front of Walker Hall or about pedestrian safety on Rivers Street. Roy Tugman, director of public safety and security for ASU, said the security office hasn't received any complaints concerning pedestrian safety this year. Tugman explained that in the past he had received complaints from both pedestri­ ans and drivers. Pedestrians complained cars weren't stopping, and drivers com­ plained pedestrians weren't using the crosswalks. Dr. Ward Zimmerman, vice chancel­ lor for business affairs, said, "No specific complaints about thecrosswalk have been brought to my attention." Zimmerman did say the pedestrian issue had been studied, and as of now nothing is planned in the near future to improve pedestrian safety. In the long-range plans, ASU is con­ sidering giving Rivers Street a parkway concept. Zimmerman said, "We've looked at proposals to plant trees down the center of Rivers Street and install speed bumps for traffic control." Zimmerman said these ideas are only in theoretical planning stages, and ASU is still looking at alternatives. Zimmerman doesn't believe catwalks are a alternative because people will still have the tendency to walk around rather that walk up and down steps. Tugman explained that there is only so much ASU can do. "Rivers Street is controlled by the Department of Trans­ portation; our ability to contr >1 is very limited," he said. There are students that believe there is a problem for pedestrians. Heidi Hildebran, a computer science major, said, "I've seen cars not stop for students at thecrosswalk (in front of Walker Hall)." Jay Jefferies, also a computer science major, said,"I've seen cars dart inbetween people. The cars will step on it and go through. Ifl've got time. I use the tunnel." �-Ihe Appalachian, Thursday Nnyfmher 1 JQQfl Internship Fair: The Student Employment Office will sponsor an Internship Fatr on Wednesday, Nov. 7, from 11 am. - 2 p.m. in the Mini-Mall of the student union.

Smith Gallery from Nov. 5 to Dec. 14. A reception for the artists, which is open to the public, will be held at the gallery from 4 to 6 p.m., Monday, Nov. 5. The Lotzes have spent their summers and holidays for the past eight years at their second home in the Watauga River Gorge. In Florida, Ms. Lotz is known for her garden sculpture and Mr. Lotz for his large-scale paintings for public buildings. Both pursue dual careers as artists and educators. Ms. Lotz teaches courses for the adult blind in the Orange County School System. Mr. Lotz has been a pro­ fessor of art at the University of Central Florida forthe past 22 years. Heestablished the U.C.F. Art Department and was the first chairman from 1968-1978. Ms. Lotz recently completed a com­ mission for Len Botanical Gardens in Orlando and has pieces in the collections of former Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm and "Ms. Magazine" foundeT Gloria Steinem. High on her list of priorities is the development of a sculpture park on the couple's eight acre homesite on the Watauga River. The site already features landscaping and outdoor sculpture de­ signed by Ms. Lotz. HeT pieces relate to the dramatic rock formations which have been sculpted by the river's natural pro­ cess. "The development of my sculpture park is an ambitious project which could take the rest of my life to complete. I look forward to my summers and holidays as times to immerse myself in the beauty of the area and to respond creatively to its forms." Ms. Lotz said. Mr. Lotz, whose work for the past three years has consisted almost entirely of public commissions, has been included in many public collections. Among these are the Orlando International Airport, Jack­ sonville Art Museum, Southern Bell Telephone Company, The General Tele­ phone Company and Walt Disney World's Palace Hotel. In progress in his Orlando studio is a mural for Walt Disney World's Grand Floridian Hotel. Included in the See ARTWORK page 4 �Jhe Appalachian.

During his 30 year career, he has been honored with over 30 one-man exhibi­ tions in the United States and Europe, listed in "Who's Who in American Art" and received two prestigious Individual Artists grants from the State of Florida. The Lotz family spent two years in Scotland, where Mr. Lotz was an ex­ change professor at the Edinburgh Col­ lege of Art. Mr. Lotz's work was included m an annual Royal Scottish Academy exhibition where it was purchased by His Royal Highness Prince Phillip for the royal family s collection. Mr. Lotz recently fin­ ished a 16 by 30 foot mural commissioned for Universal Studios in Florida. The art created by the Lotzes takes the forms of nature—fish, turtles, plants, flowers, birds—in highly personal ways. We are both imagining a creation myth." Mr. Lotz said. I think of my paintings as fragments of a paradisiacal garden a garden of Eden or a garden of earthly delights. I want to celebrate the joyous fecundity of life. To that end I employ forms and marks which imply movement and growth. I am increasingly interested in the use of colorto energize my pictorial world." Ms. Lotz's sculpture also relates to a garden aesthetic. She creates her cast stone pieces with outdoor placement in mind. "I've always been interested in the art of the Romanesque and Gothic periods. I am intrigued by the fanciful and spiritual ways sculptures of those epochs translated natural forms. I want my garden pieces to have a similar primordial power," Ms. Lotz said. For more information, call 262-3017.

The Thundering Herd ranked seventh in the league in rushing offense before last weekend's contest, averaging only 131 yards per game. Hatchett leads the Marshall ground attack with 451 yards and 5 touchdowns and ranked third in the conference in all-purpose yards last week (680 in Marsall's first seven games).

The Herd defense is led by freshman linebacker Donahue Stephenson. The 6*1," 251-lb Stephenson, who ranked fifth in the conference last week with 75 tackles, is attempting to become the first freshman to lead Marshall in tackles since Carl Lee in 1979. Linebacker Eric Gates (49 tackles) and freshman free safety Joe Chircio (43 tackles) also play important roles in the Thundering Herd defensive attack. Appalachian has taken 10 of 14 meet­ ings with Marshall, including four out of the last six, in a series which dates back to the 1977 season. In addition, the Moun­ taineers own a 4-2 record in the six previ­ ous contests played at Marshall.

By MIKE MILLER Special to The Appalachian u Not all republicans want Helms re-elected THE far side By GARY LARSON Professor tells us why to vote against Helms next Tuesday To the Editor: The fate of Don King's great-great-grandfather There are registered Republicans in Nortl?Carolina who are not going to vote for Jesse Helms—no matter what. My mama tried to teach me about honesty and integrity. My daddy did leave me with some thoughts about being an independent thinker and to not follow unwise counsel. I don't think there is anything in Helms' arsenal of mud-slinging and deceptive advertising or the Bush/ Quayle endorsements to change my mind. In teaching about the use and misuse of propaganda for all my many years at ASU, I just know too much about the man and his henchmen (well intentioncd Young Republicans aside— they are just ignorant) and his question­ able foreign associations with known criminal types. It really bothers me to see some people—students and locals alike. Democrats and Republicans—voting for "the party's candidates" straight ticket This is about as intelligent as pumping gas with a lighted cigarette in your mouth. You might not get burned, but then again, you just might get burned. In this election season of PAC stuffed incumbents it is time for the people' to get a little respect. We have been screwed, blued and tatooed by the current and past congresses and administrations, both Democrats and Republicans who vote their own selfish interests at the expense of the taxpayers. About the only things I can give Helms credit for are his desire to see the elimination of party labels (and become a conservative or liberal or whatever) and his ability to force unpleasant votes in Congress on issues that no one wants his name associated with back home. He is not a senator for North Carolina; he is only a senator from North Carolina. As recent news articles establish, only 6 percent or less of his bills are related to North Carolina ("Charlotte Observer," Sept. 30,1990). unfair and illegal campaign electoral practices. Ask Helms why all those millions have been spent only to raise more millions that were not shared with likeminded conservatives. Ask Helms about his staffers and his association with Arena Party death squads in El Salvador, Arena Party-the government of the country. There will be some that say the issues are larger than North Carolina and, therefore, are national in scope. In this case. Helms fits the bill as devil's advocate. But he does not speak for me nor represent what I have been taught about Protestant/Catholic values (not to mention the commonalities that exist with the Jews and Moslems in our state). I ought to know; I have been a Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian and now Lutheran. I am also what some call a follower of liberal theology. My Christ was not a conservative funda­ mentalists Christian; he was a Jew and will remain so for all eternity. But it still remains that Helms is a reality. If you believe in prayer. Helms can be defeated. Ask Helms how much money he takes from out-of-state. Ask Helms why his buddies in the Congressional Club have been fined for Ask Helms about some of the reasons for the suicide of John East Ask Helms about his role and that of Judge Clark in the downing of Korean airlineT 007. Ask Helms about his support of Reagan in the Beirut massacre of our U.S. Marines. Ask Helms about his support for the lying Oliver North and John Poindexter, and the horror of the deaths of tens of thousands in Central America, Panama, and the Middle East and our hostages. Ask Helms about his ties and support for South Africa and its racist sexist government. Ask Helms about his ties to Korea and to the Moonies.

Terms like 'extreme' and 'radical' could be used to describe some of your supporters also. I dare say Mr. Gantt has just as much support among everyday religious North Carolinians as you do, and he is outspoken in his concern for all N.C. citizens. Furthermore, he certainly doesn't receive any more money from people outside North Carolina than you do. To quote James Kilpatrick, a leading conservative, "I wish his (Helms') sense of Christian charity were more generous than it often seems to be." This point is underscored by the fact that several of my Republican friends have said today that your recent attacks have stooped to a new low, and they no longer feel they can support you.

Individuals can make a diflerence in deciding the direction and details of law enforcement, he said, by their involvement in the news media, in the state Legislature, and simply in the self-control that makes for good citizens. The most satisfying legal events of 1986 were the inauguration of a victims' assistant program by the North Carolina General Assembly and the conviction of two men ac­ cused of killing a state trooper on a Madison County highway. The men received life sentences The conviction was a bit­ tersweet victory. The prosecu­ tion's case, he felt, was soundly put together andpresented; as the people's lawyer Rusher waspleased at that work. But in identifying with the family and friends of the slain officer he said there were deeper emotions "How can you take pleasure in doing something that is that horri­ ble?

Western Carolina Univer­ sity was the only institution in western Marchers oppose SAC 200 vow to carry fight to Raleigh By KURT C. WARD Interim News Editor i . An estimated 200 people, including students, faculty and other Boone com­ munity members, gathered Thursday to protest the construction of the proposed $24 million student activity center that is being planned for the ASU campus. "I am up here today to oppose, abso­ lutely oppose the student activity center," Dr. Harvard Ayers, a professor of an­ thropology and the chairperson of the ASU Environmental Issues Committee, said as he addressed the crowd. According to Ayers, the center will cause each student's fees to increase by a total of $600 over a period of four years. This increase in student fees will supple­ ment the monies that will not be supplied by the state. "The financing of this overpriced white elephant is going to be borne by two main sources who can least afford to pay—our bankrupt state budget and our students and theirparents who already have aheavy burden with the existing costsof college," Ayers said. ment.. .until we've won or until defeathas leveled us." According to Appelget, the protestors oppose the center's construction on three levels: the environment, the academic priorties of the state and university and the monetary cost of the facility. Dr. Matthew P. Rowe, associate pro­ fessor of Biology, also spoke during the march. Rowe stated in his address to the protestors that the university's priorities are "inverted." "We (theuniversity) are willing to buy a basketball arena, but we may have to wait forever for someone to give us the resources we need to teachour students," Rowe said, Rowe added that he felt the university is waiting for someone to donate the land needed for an environmental studies area. According to Rowe, "ASU Chancellor John Thomas has asked the faculty not to criticize the actionsof theadministration. "But aren't universities suppose to be the centers of critical thought?" Rowe asked. Rowe also stated that the $24 million arena might be used for two academic purposes: convocation and graduation. During the march, which originated at Duck Pond Field, the sign bearingprotest­ ors voiced chants such as "Learn us how to write and read, don't build the SAC" and "Earth first, profits last." JSA cards provide students with discounts for second dorsed USA discountcards for students to save on purchases at several local businesses. of the business matters for the discount card. Daryl Ghent, SGA Vice President said, "We (SGA) endorsed the idea and USA cards did all the work." due to high demand for the cards by stu­ dents.

The firm handled all something of a crime wave seems to be washing over American higher education. "College campuses are just seething with crime," said Dr. Alan Lizotte, associ­ ate dean of criminology at the State Uni­ versity of New York (SUNY) at Albany. "They're horrible places." "A lot of students are scared," added Rob Tumney, an Ohio State University senior who heads the school's Crime Watch Escort Service."They don't go out alone." The fear has turned into wild rumors at some campuses. Administrators at Iowa State University spent the first week of October crying to convince students there was not a serial rapist on campus. Sikorski said giving the cards to stu­ dents is a good idea not only because it saves students money, but because it also helps local merchants. Ghent said the card helps students' welfare and the students as consumers. But the crime threats are real. While campus crime statistics are unre­ liable, Purdue, Yale and Loyola of New Orleans universities as well as the univer­ sities of Colorado at Boulder and Califor­ nia at Santa Barbara all report an increase in crime during the past year. Much of the nationwide student skittishness, of course, stems from the brutal late August murders ofone Santa Fe Com­ munity College student and four Univer­ sity of Florida students. While police still search for clues and someone to charge with the slayings, the tragedy made thesubject of campus crime more visible than ever. Recent stories on the "Oprah Winfrey Show,""Good Mom- "Being a college student, I don't have a lot of money. The USA discount card helps ease the tension on my wallet," sophomore Kevin Sikorski said. When SGA was first approached about the discount cards, people opposed the idea. Ghent said, "A lot of people were against the cards because it was an outside organization and it would take money off the mountain." Ghent explained that it would be hard for SGA to produce a card of the quality like the USA cards. Scales said he would like to see the program continue through SGA support, yet the most important factor in the government s decision, according to Scales, is whether the cards are used. "To keep this program going students need to support the merchants involved," Scales said. So far the response from students has been supportive. "There has been tons of good response about the cards from stu­ dents," Ghent said See CRIME Scales said the cards were put in student mail boxes two weeks ago. Students who did not receive a card and would like to have one should contact the SGA offices in Workman Hall. �The Appalachian Tuesdmi Qcmhrrip joon <b •P v> <b Forum sponsored: The Watauga County League of Women Voters will sponsor"Meet The Candidates"forum Tuesday Oct 30.

Four students were charged with under­ age possession of alcohol, one student with under-age possession and alcohol abuse and one student with under-age possession, violation of quiet hours and failure to comply with aresident assistant. All six students pledguilty to their charges. As stated in ASU's judicial code, in addition to being put on probation and charged fines each student who was con­ victed of under-age alcohol use is required to attend an Alcohol awareness Seminar Awareness g. ven by the Wellness Center's Substance Abuse educational personnel. This twohour seminar provides first-time offend­ ers with general information about alco­ hol use and abuse and provides referral sources for those who need them.

Ayers said he opposed the center's construction because of "my pride in Appalachian State University and my hope for even better things for us in the future... any facility that is built needs to accommodate more than just basketball, and that is all this one's going to do." Ayers proposed that the group go to Raleigh next spring for a day to spieak with state representatives. "We need to tell our representatives we don't want it. We can lobby each pjerson individually and we can have a 'sack the SAC rally' in Raleigh." Ayers said he was pleased with *he turn out considering the weather, which "The mood was festive," Ayers said, "and everyone reacted in a positive way to the spjeeches." In March of this year, a similar march was held in opjposition of the planned cen­ ter. An estimated 500 people attended that rally. Due to continued opposition to the project, the original plans were changed this summer and 15 acres of the proposed building site were cut from the site. The university has been told that its steam plant must be upgraded to accom­ modate additional buildings. This im­ provement must be completed before construction of the SAC can begin.

They are all a part of Pete Turchi's highly acclaimed debut novel, "The Girl NextDoor," which isoutonpaperback in bookstores everywhere for $8.95. Turchi is a newcomer to Boone and ASU. He has joined the ASU Englishdepartment and teaches several new classes. Turchi reaches back into the past, back to a time when his parents lived in a quiet Baltimore neighborhood which was awakened when it was discovered there was a brothel within their midst. "It happened before I was born," Turchi said. The people next door to my parents used their house as a brothel over the summer. No one knew what was going on, but it was noticed that the people who lived there kept strange hours and never left for work in the morning. No one was outraged when they did find out because it was all very discreet. I went back to the neighborhood to ask my parents and others, but the real story could not be recreated." Turchi did make a discovery while searching for facts about the incident in Baltimore. A man called one day and said he was the woman's doctor. In 1963, the doctor was young and just starting out, so he made housecalls for business. "He was rather prudish," explained Turchi. "He didn't catch on until the second visit." The novel is written from the point of view of George, a man who has been married less than a year. He becomes friends with one of the youngest daughters next door, and when his wife suspects the "family" is running a brothel he does not believe it. When he does discover his neighbors' professions are less honorable he finds himself tempted. This discovery forces him to review his life and morals. The "Chicago Tribune" calls "The Girl Next Door" "A wise, witty, unusual novel." "The Bal­ timore Sun" praises it as being "A stunning first novel—entertaining, uplifting and wonderfully Turchi's novel began as a short story which he wrote his junior year at Washington College in Maryland. He worked on the story off and on for seven years. "I had the neighborhood in mind: a close community with basic kinds of people," Turchi said. The creative writing program here at Appalachian was a major incentive for Turchi to move here. "I was teaching at Northwestern and I had a couple of little people, i«Ne Wobbles, Sit and Spins, Green and Legos. It sure didn't seem like wed so many toys when we were little, ithinkmg back now, it seems like I, at least, I hundreds.

These people are all mem­ bers of the Society for Creative Anachronisms, an organization whose primary interest is to preserve medievalism. "The SCA is a worldwide organization devoted to reviving medieval re-enactment as a fun and enjoyable hobby,"stated David Ritterskamp, SCA vice-president. The SCA was first organized inCalifornia by six people and has now expanded to what is thought of as the fourth largest standing army in the world. "Our purpose isn't to get out there and hurt each other. We're just out there to have fun. The SCA has a better safety record than even Little League baseball," stated Ritterskamp. The SCA has a place for everyone, male and female, who has an interest in medievalism. "There EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH: The Society for Creative Anachronisms focuses on re-enactments of medieval life. The club also runs a program which are plenty of women fighters in the SCA. I was travels to the local elementary schools and shows students that medieval life was and is something other than words on a page.There are eight elementary schools beaten by the deputy marshal of the Kingdom Atlantia in a fight which lasted about eight min­ in Watauga County, and the society plans to perform exhibitions at each of them at 1COM once uus year. ncturea is an exhibition at Mabel Elementary. f — •» -ow 0 r UK,II <U least once this year, Pictured is an exhibition at Mabel Elementa utes," said Ritterskamp.

Leary's internship ran from late May until early August. He was placed in charge of developing an office products segment for Dillard. The duties included marketing and sales research and outlin­ ing five-year plans. He is most proud of the catalog of office products that he was responsible for updating. "Salesmen are using the catalog right now, as they go out to represent Dillard." Leary said his internship was very beneficial to his education. He said the internship gave him a chance to "understand what type of person it takes to make it in the business world." At the same time, he was able to watch how management works to coordinate the workings of various departments. After participating in the internship at Dillard, Leary said "Eventually internships should be a requirement of every major. They are a way to get your foot in the door. And they can give you an idea of what you'll be doing after you graduate." The internship resulted in a job interview which could lead to a job in the sales department. Dillard is even considering the use of future interns due to the success of Leary's performance. Finding an internship is not always a painless experience. It is often time-consuming and not always a successful hunt. Kevin Black, a senior accounting major, found that getting an internship didn't come as easy as walking in and being handed one. Black, along with 40 other students, interviewed with several firms from around the state. Thenoneby-one, Black began to receiverejection letters, six in all. "The first couple weren't surprising.

The compromise, worked out by President George Bush and congressional leaders over four months of tension negotiations over how to bring the federal budget deficit under control, hopes to cut S500 billion in spending over the next five years. The plan includes saving S2 billion from the federal student loan program. Supplemental Loans for Students, Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students, Stafford and Perkins loans would all be affected. "I would just expect a lot of angry students," said Kathy Hicks, controller at Eastern Montana Col­ lege. Before becoming law, however, the entire Con­ gress must approve the budget package. On Oct. 4, House Democrats, upset over the plan's cuts in Medicare spending, threatened not to support it. If a compromise isn't reached, automatic cuts go into effect It would mean an immediate cut to all aid payments not yet made to colleges and students. Funding to the Department of Education would be cut 35 percent. Yet the Sept. 29 agreement heightened chances that the government wifl finally enact t - ,i.» form of compromise—the first tentative agreement between White House and Congress since 1979—to cut the federal deficit, sources said. Students, like all recipients of federal dollars, would pay a price. While the compromise did not detail ways to cut S2 billion out of the almost S4 billion loan pro­ grams, congressional leaders quickly suggested doing it by imposing a series of new limits on who can get student loans: •Requiring a student to have a high school di­ ploma or the equivalent to receive any federal tuition loan. • Making students wait 30 days after the start of school to get their loan money. •Eliminating or restricting federal loans for cor­ respondence schools. •Having all loan applicants who are 21 or older undergo a credit check to qualify for a loan. •Cutting students out of college loan programs who are from schools where loan default rates are above a certain rate. The provisions "are definitely going to hurt student access to federal loans," asserted Selena Dong, legislative director for the United States Siudent Association (USSA), a Washington D.C.- based organization that represents student govern ment presidents. Waiting For Money Yetit'sprobably too earlyto panic, addedBecky Timmons of the Ameri­ can Council on Educa tion. "The budget summit can't spell out those sav­ ings (the S2 billion) will be achieved,"so no one is sure what provisions will go into effect, said Timmons, whose Wash­ ington, D.C.-based group is comprised of college presidents from around the country. Consequently, no one really knows how many of the approximately six "We would probably extend that (the 30 days) them (students) gladly," said Lynn Holaday, ass ciate vice chancellor for fiscal operations at ASI Eastern Montana's Hicks conceded the prov sion, designed to stt people from fraudulent collecting loan mom and then leaving camp without ever aaendit class, would mean "the would be some technic types of things that wou need to be worked ou so the school could g along without some of i tuition money for the fir 30 days of each term Some of the oth loan savings ideas wou hurt students more, ol servers maintained. The provision to require students older than a 21 to undergo credit checks could cut many si dents out of the loan program, predicted Fr Elmendorf o: the Consumer Banking Associatic U No one really knows how many of the approximately six million collegians who use federal aid will be affected by the compromise. 99 million collegians who use federal aid will be affected by the compromise. School financial administrators don't seem wor­ ried about the provision that would affect them the most: the 30-day delay of payment of government student loans.

The more rejection letters I got, the less it hurt" Black, with the help of Dr. Jones, coor­ dinator for the accounting department, arranged an interview with Turlington Accounting firm in Lexington. Over fall break. Black traveled to Lexington for the interview. Within the next week he was offered an intern position, which he later accepted. Black said he isn't nervous about doing the internship. In fact, he is very excited. The internship will begin on December 28 and run for 10 to 15 weeks. Black's duties will include helping perform audits. The hours will be long, 10 to 12 hours a day, Monday through Friday and three hours on Saturday. Black feels that the internship will pro­ vide "a different view of what I'll be doing as an accountant—something that you don't get out of a book or from a teacher." Although locating an internship is not always easy, the experience that can be gained are well worth it.

Only a handful have "good" credit ratings. :: '„ The USSA s Dong worries Congress will fximsh the wrong students. "These provisions are trying to target proprietary schools," which often have high default rates on student loans, Dong explained. Yet students at other schools-particularly two-year colleges and historically black four-year campuses-could effec­ tively be cut out of loan programs by some of the anti-default provisions, she warned.

October 30,1990 Apps trim Moccasins ASU rallies to capture 23-17 victory By SHEA GRIFFIN InUrlm Appabchl" Sports Fdltef The ASU Mountaineers remained in a gyst-place tie in the Southern Conference hy upending Tennessee-Chattanooga 2317 Saturday night. The Mountaineers, who improved to 44 overall and 4-1 in the conference with !he win, share first place with Furman. The loss dropped UTC to 4-4 overall and 3-2 in the league and knocked the Moc­ casins out of a tie for the top spot in the SC. Mountaineer quarterback D.J. Campbell completed 16 of 25 passes for 139 yards and rushed for 99 more, while ihe ASU defense allowed just three points after the first five minutes of the game to key the Apps' victory. "Overall, this was probably our best effort of the season," ASU Head Coach jerry Moore said. "It was a must-win game." The Moccasins, who entered the conlest ranked 20th in the nation and with a three-game winning streak, got out of the gale quickly. On the game's second play from scrimmage, UTC tailback Muhammad Shamsid-Deen exploded ihrough the left side of the ASU defense for a 42-yard gain. Five plays later, Shamsid-Deen scored on a four-yard louchdown run. Rodney Allen kicked the extra point, giving the Moccasins a 7-0 lead just three minutes into the contest. On the Mountaineers' first possession, Campbell dropped back to pass on a thirdand-seven from the ASU 28. Campbell was swarmed by UTC defenders and was forced to hurry the toss, which Moccasin linebackcrTony Hill intercepted and gave UTC possession on the Appalachian 16 yariWine. The Moccasins scored on the next play as wide receiver Sammy Hadley carried the ball on a reverse and scampered 16 yards for a touchdown. Allen's ex tra point increased the Moccasin lead to 14-0 with 10:31 to go in the first quarter. The Mountaineers got on the board with their next possession. Campbell earned around the left end for a 51-yard gain to the UTC 24-yard line. Six plays later, Jay Millson booted a 23-yard field goal tocuttheMoccasin lead to 14-3 at the end of the first quarter. UTC struck first in the second quarter. The Moccasins drove down the field on a nine-play, 60-yard drive tJiat set up an Allen 33-yard field goal, giving the Mocs a 17-3 lead with 13:34 to play in the first half. The Apps' next drive stalled at their own 48-yard line. UTC's Branee Draine fumbled Harold Alexander's punt, and ASU's Rico Mack recovered the ball on the Moccasins' 9-yard line 'I think the fumbled punt was a big factor in the game," Moore said. On first-and-goal, A1 Ellis took a pitchout to the right side and then fired a completion to receiver Craig StyTon on a halfback option pass for a touchdown. Millson's extra point cut the UTC lead to 17-10 at halftime. "We had been working on that play in practice," Moore said of Ellis' TD pass. "We had wanted to use it on a running down and run the play to our right." In the third quarter, ASU linebacker Johnny Jennings recovered Moccasin quarterback Stan Nix's fumble and gave the Mountaineers the ball on the Chatta­ nooga 22-yard line. Five plays later, Ellis carried off the left tackle and scurried 11 yards for a touch­ down. Millson nailed the extra point to tie the contest at 17-17 at the end of the third quarter. Vince Carelli replaced the injured Nix at quarterback for the Moccasins. James Roberts carried three straight times to drive the Mocs to the ASU 37-yard line. On first-and-10, Carelli dropped back to pass, but Mountaineer comerback Steve Wilks stepped in and intercepted the ball and returned it to the ASU 8-yard line. The Mountaineers, led by the throwing of Campbell and the running of Johnny Smith, marched on an 11 -play, 69-yard drive. On a critical third-and-2 from the ASU 49-yard line Campbell hit tight end Jeff Dudan for a 19-yard gain. Four plays later, Millson kicked a 37-yard field goal to give the Apps their first lead of the game at 20-17, with 7:33 to play in the game. After the teams exchanged punts, UTC took over on their own 15-yard line with 2:36 to play. On a third-and-five from the UTC 20, ASU linebacker DwaynePelham broke up a Nix pass, bringing up fourth down. Nix completed the fourth down toss to Roberts, but the Mountaineer de­ fense stopped him short of the first down, giving the Apps the ball at the UTC 25yard line with 1:23 left in the game. Millson added a 37-yard field goal, his third of the game, to give the Mountain­ eers a 23-17 cushion with 1:05 to play. Carelli came back in at quarterback for the Moccasins and connected with Hadley for a 27-yard gain to the ASU 37-yard line.

"We weren'tplaying well early, and we left our starters in too long," McGee said. "Our offense just wasn't clicking. We were on defense more than offense and our passing wasn't sharp." Despite the recent slump, ASU has won the regular sesason Southern Conference Championship, a feat never before ac­ complished by an ASU squad. Since the conference began volleyball competition in 1984, the Lady Apps have managed to win two conference tournaments. This year's toumey will take place Nov. 9-11 at Western-Carolina University in Cullowhee. By that time, McGee hopes her team will have regained both its confidence and aggressiveness. The Lady Apps still have two regular season games left before the conference tournament starts. ASU will take on Mer­ cer and UNC Charlotte before beginning final preparations for postseason play. Booters nip VMI Lady Apps win 3-1 Mountaineers outlast Keydets 3-2 By LYDIA E. CRAVER Appalachian Staff Writer By BRIAN LAYH Appalachian Staff Writer The Appalachian State men's soccer team earned its first conference victory of the season last Saturday by beating Vir­ ginia Military Institute, 3-2. The win improves ASU'soverall record to 7-10-1 and also gives the Mountaineers a 1-2-1 conference mark and fifth seed going intonext weekend's SC tournament in Greensboro, N.C. Coach Art Rex utilized many players and several lineups to defeat the Keydets. "It was Senior Day (the last home game of the year) and I wanted to give everybody a chance to show me something," Rex said. Bobby Martin took advantage of his first start of the season by scoring the first goal of the contest "Bobby has a phenomenal work ethic, and he created a lot of opportunities for us," Rex said. Midfielder David Terry connected for his 12th goal of the year shortly before halftime to give the Mountaineers a 2-1 lead at the break. Appalachian controlled the ball and the tempo throughout the second half but missed several shot opportunities.

VMI responded to Appel's efforts by tying the match at 2-2 with just five minutes left on the clock. "Appel played very well. He made the saves he needed to make," Rex said. Senior Jeromy Mittag scored in the game's final minutes to give the Apps a 3-2 lead. "The coach took some defensive re­ sponsibility off of me and I w as able to attack the goal more," Mittag said. Timely defensive play by senior Andy Salandy thw arted two VMI shot attempts in the final seconds to preserve the ASU win. "Andy did a good job. We were trying to show a different look and he moved from midfield to sweeper," Rex said. "I was happy we got a win on the seniors' last home game," Rex added. Mittag summed up the importance of next weekend's SC Tourney by saying, "We can win three games and really turn this season around; try to replace the bad memories with some good ones." Coach Rex approaches the tournament with a bit more skepticism than Mittag. "It will take tremendous effort to be able to come back from the setbacks we've suffered this year. The guys will really have to pull together," Rex said. The squad will travel to Virginia Tech for their final regular season game this Wednesday in Blacksburg. The Lady Apps field hockey squaa captured a 3-1 victory over High Point in the Apps' last home match of the season Sunday. Appalachian controlled on offense and defense from the onset, overwhelming the Lady Panthers for the win. ASU struck first ten minutes into tne half, with Sarah Hopkinson scoring on an assist from Shannon Smith. Nearly one minute later, the Lady Apps capitalized on their second goal from LuAnn DeGroat. Hopkinson scored ASU's third goal with nine minutes remaining, before High Point's Kim Morcum scored at three minutes on the clock for the first half, cutting the Lady Mountaineers' lead to 31 at halftime. The second half saw Appalachian and High Point play steady defense through­ out Time ran out on any attempted comeback hopes for the Lady Panthers, as ASU wrapped up the 3-1 victory. "We had a good team effort today," ASU Head Coach Karen Poole com­ mented after the match. "This was the last home game, and our team played hard for the seniors: Dana (Albierco), Libba (Sharmonhouse) and LuAnn (DeGroat)." Poole pointed to the Lady Apps' diffi­ culty adapting early in the season as a key to Sunday's win. "We started off with eight new freshmen and they have played hard and jelled with the older, more expe­ rienced players. We nave learned that if we go out and attack from the start instead of hanging back, we get better results, and this has been a key factor to our success. Before, we were happy with one goal, but now we are really showing character and playing full time. The results have been great" Despite the loss.High Point Head Coach Leslie Clark felt she received strong per­ formances from Morcum, Angie Yerkes, Molly Haggerty, Kristen Jones, and Connie Bates. "I think my girls played well; we had a lot of good plays. On a given day, it is a toss up between us and ASU," Clark said. For the season, Poole is very pleased with the efforts of her young squad. "I've really enjoyed this season. I'm very proud of these girls," Poole said. "We have a win-lose record, but some­ times you just have to look past that and look at the accomplishments. I'm reallyhappy with all of them for hanging in there." The Lady Apps next compete in the Deep South Tournament Nov. 2-4. ASU opens the tourney against Catawba, who beat the Lady Apps 3-2 last week. Poole is confident heading into the tournament. "Last year, we lost in the first round, butthisyear, westartoff against Catawba and we are due a win on them," Pooie said.

One political race that has the whole nation watching North Carolina is the bid for the U.S. Senate seat between incumbent Jesse Helms and his challenger, Harvey Gantt. It is always difficult to find the perfect candidate in any situation, however, it appears that Gantt is talking about the issues which concern North Carolinians the most. Gantt seems to be firmly committed to ensuring access to quality education for all children and young adults. He would like to make sure we avoid the embarrassment of competing for last place in nationwide SAT scores year afteryear. By supporting such programs as Head Start, Gantt hopes to prepare all children for a successful school career. He is an advocate of special programs in our high schools that will prepare young adults for the workplace or college. Gantt is also a firm believer in combating drug and alcohol problems with education for the young and old. Gantt is concerned about our environment and believes the citizens and government can work together for a safe tomorrow. He is opposed to offshore drilling on our outer banks and clear-cutting in our western mountains. Gantt supports research which could lead to the development of alternative energy sources and as a result limit our dependency on foreign oil. His committment loihe environment has earned him the endorsement of the Sierra Club. The citizens of North Carolina have not received enough information about the Southeast Compact hazardous waste dump, and Gantt feels the public has a right to know more about the potential dangers of this project Gantt supports ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment and believes no choice is more individual and personal than a woman's decision to conceive M bear a child. He also feels our health care system needs revamping so a minimum package of health care and long term medical care is affordable and available to all citizens. His approval of legislation like the Family and Medical Leave Act should definitely benefit our state, which has an astro­ nomically high rate of infant mortality. With more job training and apprenticeship programs, Gantt hopes many of ourcitizens can find jobs that will allow them to lead financially independent 'lv« During his tenure as Mayor of Charlotte from 1983 to 1987, the city *Hed$l.5 billion in new investments and 21,000 new jobs.

Gantt has held to one basic philosophy: to fight against discrimination on basis of race, sex, religion, national origin and sexual preference and to '8 'for the right of all individuals to control their destiny. By sticking to this •"asful principle, Harvey Ganu should prove to be an effective and conscientious senator for North Carolina THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON x. We are all targets for greed When R. J. Reynolds test marketed a new cigarette aimed at the young black male consumer, it was vehe­ mently put down as racist by the surgeon general and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The Uptown cigarette was quickly withdrawn because of this forceful negative publicity. Coincidentally, a new cigarette brand was soon mar­ keted by the same company. The Magna brand, with its ads proclaiming "MAGNATUDE" to its smokers, por­ trays a young white male sitting on his supercharged hot rod. He's a blue-coliar guy with his white undershirt and work boots. He is also cool, as can be seen by his dark sunglasses and casually held Magna in his hand. Where is the demonstration against this cigarette which so obviously targets the young white male? There is none. It s not that this brand is condoned by the surgeon general or the American Lung Association. Yet there was no special fuss when this new brand was introduced in an age where we know the detrimental effects of smoking. Aiming a brand of cigarettes at black males was not racist. If there had never been a brand of cigarettes aimed at them, then that would have been racist. Equal victim­ ization is supposed to be guaranteed to everyone under the law. There is another new brand of cigarettes on the market, also. Bucks filter cigarettes encourage consumers to "BUCK THE SYSTEM." This infers they are "brand name" smokes offered at a generic price. Since the Bucks package includes a picture of an 11point stag—anydeer hunter's dream trophy—it would be safe to assume the Phillip Morris company is trying to appeal to the American sportsman on a budget Why hasn t the National Rifle Association complained about the obvious targeting of hunters by Phillip Morris? Do they figure these people have the right to determine their own fate? Why have so many groups gotten so upset that a cigarette company chose to target a racial minority when almost every cigarette brand targets some minority or clique? Some opinion leaders obviously felt blacks were being victimized by a marketing approach which singled out these young men. Maybe these men were being victim­ ized, but they were no more victims than any other group singled out by tobacco companies. Maybe a cowboy association should ride out against Marlboros. The Marlboro man, a cowboy, has been their trademark for decades. Ironically, most cowboys were black, but since American educational sources never R. J. Reynolds was trying to do with Uptown cigarettes. They were hoping young black males would take the bait they offered, just as Marlboro, Salem, Eve, Magna and Bucks smokers have. q' Mike Boykin portray this majority, "Cowboy Killers," as Marlboros have been termed, are not seen as racist They are seen as an icon of freedom to males who would like to throw off the shackles of a nine-to-five life. They are a cigarette aimed at the rugged male or the Walter Mitty who would like to be rugged. They are also one of the strongest most harmful cigarettes on the market yet there has been no specific uproar about them. Another lethal brand of cigarette, Kools, has been the sponsor for a jazz festival for many years. Jazz enthusi­ asts be warned—you are being targeted to inhale noxious fumes which may shorten your life. Yet no group has spoken up to discourage the Kools sponsorship. Ladies beware. Eve cigarettes are an evil temptation. Don t bite those ads proclaiming their easy flavor. You won't be the apple of any man's eye becauseof them, but you are being targeted. Witches everywhere, you are being persecuted. Use your arcane powers to see the truth. Salem cigarettes are aimed squarely at you. Walch out for the trial-sized packs luring you into chemical dependency. There is a double standard at work in our country. Whenever black or otherminority groups are purportedly singled out for victimization, it makes headlines. People who are offended by these injustices seem not to understand that all Americans are being victimized by similar forces every day. We're not talking about sending blacks to the back of the bus here and neither are they being thrust into the forefront of abuse. What we are talking about is big business trying to make a buck The easiest way for these businesses to make money is to make consumers believe their products will benefit them by giving them something they lack. Tobacco companies hope users will be willing to trade certain health risks for an enhanced image. This is what What's wrong with targeting blacks? Maybe it is juift unethical to target anyone for a potentially harmfifl product. However, as long as potentially harmful prod­ ucts are allowed on our shelves, blacks and other raciaj minorities should be allowed to decide for themselves whether to use them. When the Uptown strategy failed for R. J. Reynolds!] the companymerely moved its efforts to a saferclientellel' The new Magna brand is probably the same blend of tobacco ina differentpackage designed to appeal to a bird' of another color. By taking Uptowns off the market, not only did we'. unfairly exclude a group from smoking adesired product, we also skimmed over the real issue. It is not only the black male who is in danger; it is all of us. We are all taken in by businesses who fool us into believing their products are necessary to achieve a positive image. Koop and other groups who opposed the introduction of Uptown cigarettes should have, at the same time, opposed the introduction of all new brands of cigarettes, because all cigarettes are harmful to users. All cigarettes are targeted to find a niche in a specific group. These companies know they cannot appeal to everyone with one product. This is why there areso many brands of cigarettes to choose from. It is not onlyproducts like these that are damaging.The reliance on any product and media advertising for iden­ tity can be just as damaging. If we want to eradicate injustices of big business, we must realize they come from all directions and are aimed in all directions. We can no longer allow the people in power—the! elite—to skew our attention toward the problems ofi racial minorities. These people are victimizing all people. People such as you and I include racial minorities. We1 are the majority. The elite are the minority and they have all the rights. How long can they fool.usinto believing they have our best interests at heart? By SAM POLEY Appalachian Column!* You enjoy the freedoms that you have, don't you? It's nice to go home after school and relax in front of the television and watch whatever you want, or pick up a magazine that you chose to buy and read whatever strikes your fancy, isn't it? Ev­ ery time you step into your house, dorm room or apartment, you have a right to privacy. The Bill of Rights guarantees rights, the right to privacy included. The outlaw­ ing of pornography to be viewed in one's own home would abridge that right and would give the government power similar to that of George Orwell's Big Brother. Included in that right to privacy is the right to look at or listen to anything that you want. According to the Supreme Court, it is legal to look at obscene mate­ THE FAR SIDE rials. The hitch is that you can't make them, buy them, sell them, ship them or distribute them in any way. But if, by chance, obscene material winds up in your possession, then you can look at or listen to it. Look at pornography. There are no laws against pornography because defin­ ing it is so difficult. But there are some people that are trying to define pornogra­ phy and outlaw it like obscenity. A women's group called CROW in Bellingham, WA has sponsored an antipomography initiative. The proposed legislation would limit access to constitu­ tionally protected materials. Under this law, one could be sued for publishing or distributing material in which "women are presented dehumanized as sexual ob­ jects, things or commodities." This state­ ment alone leaves as much room for in­ terpretation as the Australian Outback has By GARY LARSON room to walk around in. The complaint among many people is that the law is "unacceptably vague." Many different people oppose the law. Dana Johnson Verhey is against the law because she is a reader of First Amend­ ment-protected material. Tom Sherwood, an artist, opposes the law because his work includes depictions of nude females. The greatest art in his­ tory included work depicting nude; with this law, that art could be illegal to view. rights, listen to what this poor man's life was like. "It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Winston Smith, his chin nuzzled into his breast in an effort to escape the vile wind, slipped through the glass doors of Victory Man­ sions, though not quickly enough to pre­ vent a swirl of gritty dust from entering along with him. "The hallway smelt of boiled cabbag<£and old rag mats. At one end of it a colored^! poster, too large for indoor display, hacfi^ been tacked to the wall.

But as the clerk-typist ap­ plied for apartment after apartment in the spring of 1981, no one in the Los Angeles area had room. Not until she was well into her search did one rental agent explain why. A dispute with a previous landlord had gotten Pettus on a list of potentially undesirable tenants sold by a company called UD Registry Inc." What about her right to privacy? ED'3 SCHOOL.

It would probably sell to blacks in the same way SchlitzMaltLiquorsells.Itwouldtargetthertti Yes, this is a very extreme and improbable example. But the ideas that Orwell puts for this in his novel are frightening. He writes of "telescreens" which allow the government to watch every move you make, listen to every sound and constantly bombard you with messages.

No. The issue here is your right to privacy, but the latest way to infringe upon that right is by restricting your right to look at porno­ graphic material. So long as it is not ob­ scene and you have chosen to look at it, then why should anyone be able to tell you that you cannot? It is a free country, keep it that way. 3 3 !• 3 3 j* 1 i •i i 3 3 * 3 S 3 �1he Appalachian Tuesday Drt0 fcr ?n loop Bij Dov Sherman YOT.'UIIS lime BABY V .

Turner effort now to learn the system. The best AppalCART Director way to learn it is to get a schedule and read it, then get on a bus and ride the routes you intend to use. The more people use the bus regularly, the better the service will be. If the buses are consistently crowded on a given route, we can plan to increase the frequency of service to that area or to get a larger bus. It is much easier to plan for a system with regular riders than for one which doubles its ridership when it snows. We try to accommodate the extra ridership that comes with bad weather, but it would be easier if the peaks were not so dramatic. In order to figure out where to stand to wait for the bus, it is important to read the time table which lists all the stops and times for each route. In each bus shelter we have a list of all the time tables, and have highlighted the time the bus stops at that shelter. The time tables on the system map will give you an indication, such as on the Express Route at Walker Hall it says in parenthesis (Walker Hall Across Rivers Street). There are four places within 50 yards to catch a bus at Walker Hall. If you desire to go to the Stadium area from Walker Hall or the Mall, you would catch the Red Route at 56 minutes past the hour in the shelter. If it is Saturday or past 5:56 Monday through Friday, you would catch the Crosstown at the Walker Hall Shelter at 56 past the hour.

According to PASE members, student omey General Ron Aker came by their lie, grabbed two piles of handouts and said they could not give out the informa­ tion. He said the information was slander­ ous to ASU Chancellor John Thomas and SGA Off-Campus Affairs Director Stephen Schmotzer. Aker commented that his role in the incident was to see whether the group was handing out untrue information, which is in violation of the ASU Judicial Code. "I wasn't trying to shut the table down," Aker said. Aker said PASE could have been sent away from the student union since they were not officially a student organization, but after consulting with ASU Environ­ mental Issues Committee Chairperson Dr. Harvard Ayers, Aker found that PASE was sponsored by the Anthropology Club, which meant they could conduct their business. Ayers said he also contacted several lawyers of environmental groups such as the Sierra Club, and the ACLU, and found that the group was protected under first amendment constitutional rights to free­ dom of speech. "This was a 'powerplay' by the student attorney general when he had no back­ ground information on the legal perspec­ tive of handouts," Ackerman said. One flyer being given out by PASE entitled"John Thomas'Condome" slated, "When Chancellor Thomas opens his mouth to discuss the Student Activities Center, we are being conned." The flyer further discussed three points: 1) that Tho­ mas was fighting the state legislature over Chapel Hill's tuition increase, 2) that he is also supporting a $24 million coliseum that will cause increased student fees while faculty and students say they don't want the arena and 3) that Thomas implies that the administration is the sole part of the university. "John Thomas' actions do not support academics," according to the document. Another handout entitled "Oppose the $24 million coliseum" stated "more and more of our mountains are'being slain for asphalt and brick," and "If this building is really for the sake of the students, why are they not being consulted on this matter?" SGA President Mike Scales stated that according to SGA by-laws, PAS E must publish their name on all material that they distribute. "We were concemedthat they were breaking the solicitation by­ laws," Scales said. PASE currently does not have offi­ --a PASE flyer cial club status, which is granted by vote in student sen­ ate according to leadership specialist Nancy Jones. Action turns Into personal attack While PASE is gaining support across campus in its efforts to halt projects such as the Jones Center, many SGA members do not support actions taken by what has been called a "renegade organization." When Chancellor Thomas opens his mouth to discuss the Student Activities Center, we are being conned. 99 'ennsylvania man ivins staff post Of the four separate flyers distributed around campus last week, one personally attacked both Chancellor Thomas and SGA Off-Campus Affairs Committee Chair­ person Stephen Schmotzer, whoas asenator last year sponsored a resolution the SGA senate passed in support of theSAC. A flyer distributed by PASE entitled "Do you know the truth about the SAC?" said: "Schmotzer echoed the administration's faulty reasoning. Hesaid that he represents the environmentally conscious and would support the center if it caused "the least possible damage" to the environment." The flyer then questioned the worth of destroying "the last green space we have left" for what it called an overpriced and unnecessary building. Schmotzer said he first heard of the new set of flyers after the SGA Senate met last Tuesday night. The senator said members of the student judiciary found the flyers on a table that was meant solely for literature for Harvey Gantt's U.S.Senate campaign. The judiciary members told the opera­ tors of the table that such leaflets were in violation of an SGA by-law which states that all campus organizations, or those organizations which are given permission Waugh crowned and Winkler keeps cup Editor-in-Chief Appalachian News Editor fark Levine, who presently serves as ctor of public relations for Lycoming lege in Williamsport, Pa., was named weekend as the first ASU assistant (chancellor for public affairs. •(vine will be responsible for all pubtffairs activities and strategies consiswith university priorities and will tsee the activities of the news bureau printing and publications areas. ei| inc was chosen from a group of finalists who toured the campus and IlCf 4 both student and administrative ds three weeks ago. le serving at Lycoming, some of J* s jobs included the development e Lycoming Quarterly" college Iaz>ne, hosting and producing C°ming College Focus," a public af^Presentation of the college which torn a Williamsport radio station.

The 1990 Homecoming activities were highlighted this weekend as Felicia Waugh was named Homecoming Queen during halftime as the Mountaineers beat the Western Carolina Catamounts, 27-9 "I was really shockedand excited. There were so many pretty girls on the court. I was overwhelmed." Waugh said. Sponsored by the Black Student Asso­ ciation, Waugh isal9-year-old sophomore majoring in business management and minoring in music. According to Waugh, she is the second black student in Appalachian's history to win the title of Homecoming Queen. Debbie Phiefer won the crown in 1986, staking claim as the first black woman to be crowned on the ASU campus. Phiefer also wasa guestat this year's homecoming events, as she rode in the parade on the BSA float. Honors Levine has received in the past include a member of CASE Media Rela­ tions Network, a Creative Production Competition award of merit for the Lycoming College Catalog in 1986, and a CASE special merit award for total publications programs. During '989 and 1990 heserved as the head of Leadership Lycoming, which was designed to assemble and develop the most promising young leaders of the campus by following models of leader­ ship and development used in more than 200 similar programs in colleges across the country. "BSA worked very hard forme. Tammy Tolbcrt (BSA president) was very sup­ portive. I really think this will help the black students on campus. This (event) will let them know that opportunities are out there even on a predominantly white campus," Waugh added. to 1989, Doughton had held onto the cup for two years. "I am very proud of all the residents and the president, Kim Cole (RSA president). Everyone workedso hard and was very dedicated. The sportsmanship that was shown (by the residents) should be commended,"Wendy Williams, resi­ dent director of Winkler Residence Hall, said. Winkler also won the prize for the most outstanding float in Friday afternoon's parade. The A.P.P.S./WASU float came in second. SGA Public Affairs Director Janet Avant said,"I feel that Homecoming was a success due to all the help that I recieved from seniors, cabinet members and friends. Also, I'd like to give thanks to the Homecoming Court. This year was like no other because the community was more involved." Eighteen clubs and organizations par­ ticipated in the window contest which was sponsored by the Downtown Boone Business Association, according toAvant.

PASE initially did not have their organization name on their flyers. "I seriously doubt that Ganlt would want that kind of material on his table," Schmotzer said. Schmotzer also said this was not the first time an organization has used his name directly. According to him, lastyear a flyer was dispatched which declared the whole senate incompetent. Schmotzer said he was the only senator to have his name included. "When it happened the first time, it hurt my feelings, but I realized that I stood up for something, and criticism is going to occur.... When it happened a second time, I wasn't hurt as much as I was angered by it," Schmotzer said. He said PASE has every right to protest the constructionof the Jones Center, though he said the project "is virtually a reality at this point," but he could not agree with their method of taunting a few select members of the ASU community. Schmotzer said: "It is another thing to drag Chancellor Thomas and target a few Appalachian Photo by Troy Horoct FEELING LIKE SHE JUST WON THE MISS AMERICA PAGEANT: Felicia Waugh expresses her happiness after being announced as this year's Homecoming Queen during halftime of ASU's 27-9 victory against Western Carolina.

Petersilie must spend seven weekends in the Watauga County Jail and work 180 hours of com­ munity service. He was also fined $400 in addition to court costs. The guilty verdict came Thursday fol­ lowing the testimony of Agent Steve Wil­ son, from the State Bureau of Investiga­ tions. Wilson said Petersilie had admitted that he, members of his staff and his wife had mailed out two different unsigned pieces of literature that had been received in his office. The first mailings included an article written by incumbent Councilman Saul Chase's wife, Nan, which focused on the misfortunes of being a Jewish family in the Bible Belt. On the back page was an anonymous letter which said that Chase , who is Jewish, "has a goal to wipe out Christian influence from our town, take it away from the very God-fearing Christian people who helped put him in office." The second anonymous mailing was a copy of a flier that stated Saul Chase and Louise Miller, another council candidate. had shown support for liquor by the drink as they campaigned on ASU's campus. Wilson said theSBI was able to link the anonymous mailings to Petersilie as the result of a handwriting analysis. Wilson also stated that Petersilie told him the reason he mailed the fliers was because Chase had tried to stop a construction project started by PSI, his apartment management company. Petersilie testified that he had addressed envelopes, but didn' t copy the documents. s'-amp the envelopes or take them to the postoffice. Hestatedhedidn'tknowwhat he was doing was against the law. Prior to his sentencing, Petersilie apologized to the court for any trouble his actions may have caused them or the com­ munity. His attorney, Chester Whittle, reminded Judge Lamm that Petersilie is 50 years old and is responsible for his wife and 83-year old mother He also pointed out that Petersilie had never before been in trouble with the law with the exception of one speeding ticket and had made major contributions to the community. Assistant District Attorney Gerald Wil­ son said Petersilie is not the only person in the Boone community who has mailed anonymous political material, and his sen­ tence should set an example to others that the community will not put up with such actions.

He rests his head on the pillow, Ldy for the big day, and a knock is heard. George rises from the bed slowly, wondering whether it's room service playing a joke, or Millie, the Bushes' ugly dog, banging her tail •gainst the door. When he opens the door, he sees a man from ,e die National Security Council, "Mr Vice Council. president," the man says shyly "it's time for shyly, isident," •our training video." ?

If anyone has ever seen about 100 students congregating with yells,laughter and programs on Wednesdays outside of East Hall, in the Pub or at Legends, these people are the students of Watauga College. Watauga College is a selected group of students that live and attend most of their classes in East Hall and participate in social and cultural experi­ ences together. Watauga College started eighteen years ago under Herbert Wey s administration. The purpose of it in the beginning is still the same goal today: to establisha smallcollege atmospherein themidst of a rapidly growing university. The same Watauga College ideas stretch to other colleges like UNCG and the University of Miami in Ohio. The Watauga administration tries to accept a diversity of students. One-third of the students first learned about the program from friends and family. Every out-of-state freshman receives in­ formation on Watauga College because it helps the students to adjust better since they can't go home often. Dr. Bud Gerber, director of Watauga College, said,"Wetrytoacceptavarietyof students that are honor students, interested in arts and theater, an­ thropology, communications and many other dif­ ferent fields." The students have about two-thirds of their classes in East Hall. Freshman Shannon Walters, a pre-medicine major, said, "They offer interest­ ing classes that you wouldn't find anywhere else--like the classes 'All Around Shakespeare' and 'Analyzing Relationships'." Walter said, "The best thing about Watauga is the close studentteacher ratios; the professors know us all on a firstname basis, while in my biology classes, out of 90 people, the teacher has no idea who I am." Fresh­ men Jodi John, the vice president of the Watauga Assembly, said, "The classes have a more creative approach and they give people a chance to show their talents. The reading we have to do is very indepth, but it isn't boring." The cultural experiences that Watauga has to offer are easier to organize since most of the students live in East Hall. Every Wednesday there is an activity called "Watauga Chautauqua" and the fall semester's theme is "Getting the most out of Appalachian." These organizations are held either at Legends or the Pub, but this past week, Chautauqua was held outside of East. The main objective during the meeting was to plant flowers outside the front of the hall, but other fun things went on. The "All Around Shakespeare"class did a music rap to Shakespeare which proved to be a hysterical twist to the formal plays. It also performed some serious roles, and the class will perform their skits on Oct. 19 for Bethel Elementary School. The previous week, students performed a mock rape trial which was an actual trial with a script. Some meetings are fun and some are serious, but each one is a learning experience that the students get one hour of credit forattending. There are other requirements that Walter pointed out: "Watauga lets you explore the campus culturally by attending theatrical performances, and also outdoor activities are required." President of the Watauga Assembly Jeff Reid said, "The assembly provides students the chance to express themselves and share social experiences together in a community. We're working on Tshirts right now." Reid is in his second year in Watauga College, and he believes that the openmindedness of the students is essential for them to get the most out of the program. "There's a lot of free-thinking. New ideas are thrown at you that you've never heard of before. The best thing about Watauga is that it has helped me to think about things in different ways and it has inspired me to do more creative things like poetry." Watauga College offers a great opportunity for leaders or potential leaders to live in a comfortable environment where they can express themselves in various ways. Reid tied his feelings together by providing this valid point, "Don't stereotype us— we're very diverse. There are alternative students, athletes, students in Greek organizations, and Stu­ dent Government leaders- -just aboutsomeone from every group on campus. It is impossible to label us. We 're a big melting pot with so many different people making it work." Students "sell" ASU By ERIC BAILEY Appalachian Staff Writer A NEW SCHOLARS BOOK SHOP: The bookstore has been remodeled to simplify the process of finding required paperbacks and to increase the number of titles and material the bookstore can hold. The renovation, though costly, has increased its supply by approximately 5,000 titles. This adds increased interest m reading material and makes finding everything much easier. On Nov. 1, National Authors Day, all ASU faculty authors will be present in the bookstore with their literature. Renovations simplify patronage By TAMMY PARKS Appalachian Staff Writer What do you most dread about beginning a new semester? Undoubtedly many students would an­ swer this question with a simple "buying books." Each semester, students must invest in several paperbacks or workbooks which serve as required reading in a lecture class or as supplemental learn­ ing. This semester, returning customers returned to find a totally new bookstore. A complete remodel­ ing had been completed. The purpose for upgrading the Scholars Book Shop was to provide more books and materials for students, faculty and staff. The year-long planning project received input form the Bookstore Advi­ sory Council. The council is made up of faculty, students and campus administrators, who gave input on new titles of books for the bookstore to carry. With these suggestions the amount of books increased by a significant amount. Cathy A. Smith, paperback manager for the Scholars Books Shop, estimates an increase of 5,000 new titles as a result of the project. The Scholars Book Shop also received input for the new design from a bookstore consulting firm. The new design includes new fixtures, new floor coverings and lighting to better display the books. Lynda Stanbery, assistant vice chancellor for aux­ iliary operations, said, "We are not finished. We have completed the physical renovations. How­ ever, we will keep adding inventory." The right side of the bookstore contains general interestmaterials. These books were recommended to be carried by students, faculty and staff. The left side of the bookstore contains required paperback books. If the bookstore does not have the book you are looking for, the employees will order the book for you. The total cost of the renovation was S300,000. The bookstore is an auxiliary service. This means that the bookstore is self-supporting and does not receive money from the state. The money is col­ lected from the students who use the bookstore. Many students have praised the new format. Most think it not only looks better, but it is better organized. Shana Little, an ASU senior, said, "It looks very nice. It is a lot easier to find the books." Tracy Quinones, a student at ASU, said, "During the time when everyone was getting books things were so hectic. The format of the bookstore made finding materials much easier." The bookstore will be sponsoring events for students in the coming months. Thursday, Nov. 1 is National Authors Day. In celebration, all ASU faculty authors will be present in the bookstore. Their books will be on display in the lobby. The bookstore will also be mailing a special catalog regarding a sale of Christmas items. The catalog will offer significant savings. The bookstore is on a cycle of replacement and upgrading. The goal of the additional books is to include a wide interest of books for all students. Students are encouraged to browse around the bookstore. The business hours are:Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 8:30 a.m. to noon. Appalachian State's Student Ambassadors are working hard to serve the university. The Student Ambassadors are a group of 35 sophomores, jun­ iors and seniors whose primary job is to give tours of ASU's campus to prospective students in order to promote the school. Giving tours of the campus seems easy enough, but imagine being one of 35 ambassadors who has to give a tour to over 3,000 people on Parent's Day. Everyone knows that parents can ask some tough questions and the ambassadors must be ready to answer anything thrown their way. For this reason, the ambassadors must know everything about ASU including trivial facts such as: the acreage the campus sits on, where the old football stadium was and knowing of the old wind­ mill that used to be on Howard's Knob. Before an ambassador can give tours he or she must take a 150-question test to see just how prepared that individual is. "Basically what the ambassadors do is sell the university," says the ambassadors' advisor Patrick Henderson. "And in order to sell, you have toknow your product." As if selling ASU is not enough, the Student Ambassadors also take on many other projects throughout the year. Recently the ambassadors hosted a breakfast for past ambassadors and for the alumni council. At Saturday's Homecoming game, the organization sponsored the alumnicontact table. Along with greeting and welcoming alumni back to ASU, the ambassadors participate in numerous fundraisers and attend national and district con­ ferences for ambassadors in order to better their program. At the 1990 National Convention, hosted by the University of Kansas, the Appalachian ambassa­ dors sponsored an information booth whose chairperson was Tiffany Womble. Womble commented, "There are still a lot of people out there who don't really know that much about Appalachian, and it's part of our job as ambassadors to get the word out about what we have here. One of the fun things we did was to make sure that everyone who came by our booth learned how to pronounce "Appalachian" cor­ rectly." Jeff Reid, an ambassador, wrote, "The trip to Kansas was a motivating experience in that we got some great ideas from other schools, but more importantly it reaffirmed our belief that we have one of the best programs of our type in the coun­ try." The Student Ambassadors, whose "base of op­ erations" is located at the university information center, hold a membership drive every spring in which students can apply to become a part of the organization. Each applicant must have a 2.35 GPA and must submit a photograph and a recommendation with the application. Later, applicants will be inter­ viewed. New means of college entrance in effect (CPS)-In the movie "How I Got Into College," the protagonist tries to make up for his poor Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores by sending the college he wants to attend a humorousvideotape of himself. Now Lewis and Clark College in Oregon says it will turn fiction to reality. In late September, campus officials said that, starting next school year, they will let students apply by submitting a "portfolio" of original work along with high school transcripts. Students who do this won't have to send in their SATor American College Testing (ACT) scores. The idea, said Peter Brown, Lewis and Clark's dean of admissions, will attract "a bright student who is highly motivated but doesn't want to be categorized by a SAT score. While Brown's school apparently is among the first to offer a "portfolio path" to getting in, it's only oneof a growing number of campuses forsak­ ing the SAT. Hawaii Pacific, Southern Utah State, Southern Vermont and Fort Lauderdale colleges and all the schools in the Oregon State and California State university systems havemade SAT and ACTscores optional for students in recent years. College reformers often claim the SAT in par­ ticular does not reveal much more about test takers than how well they have learned male, middleclass values. The test,critics add,does notaccurately forecast how well female high school seniors will do in college. "The SAT," Brown said, "has become a symbol of the statistical approach to college admissions." Mindful of the criticism and the defections, trustees of the College Board, the organization which oversees the SAT, are pondering changes to make the test less "statistical." At a Sept. 29 meeting, University of California trustees voted to wait until late October to decide whether to make sweeping changes that would include having students write an essay. If a mandatory essay is included without first trying it out, however, the big nine-campus Univer­ sity of California system should drop the SAT, said UC Admissions Chief Patrick S. Hayashi in a memo to UC President David Gardner. An essay, Hayashi noted, would trouble students for whom English is a second language. "The one really good thing about the SAT is ths it is the one factor in admissions" that is nc affected by thedifferences in each school, added F Fred Zuker, enrollment management vice chancel lor at the UC campus at Riverside. Zuker conceded it would be possible to admi students without the SAT, either by using the AC or by creating another test. Yet, "The cost o developing, administering and grading our owi test would be prohibitive." While statistics truly help administrators lik Zuker who must sift through as many as 10,00 applications each year, Lewis and Clark—whic got 2,340 applications for admission for the 199( 91 school year—may have more time to vie' "oersnnal nortfolina " �rhe Appalachian Tlif S(lav C)rtnh,r21.

The Reds truly upset the world, collapsing lie dynasty that the A's boasted about as they ntered post-season play. Even though I have een a die-hard Reds' fan as long as I could say ie word "baseball," I admit to the doubts I had bout the boys from the National League. 1 am still surprised, but it's one of the best [uprises of my life, seeing the Bash Brothers of laklartd turn into the Blues Brothers as the geds whoop it up in Ohio. [ The Reds overcame a lot of adversity to find iemselves at the top of the world standings. Perhaps they overcame the largest of those obstacles this past Saturday, as they completed the sweep over what I admit to considering the best team in baseball. I The A's entered the series with three secutive 100 plus victory seasons. They had ron the American League crown each of those ree years, propelling them into the World Series each year. They definitely had plenty of post season experi­ ence. The Reds, on the other hand, hadn't been to the October outing in 14 years, the last coming when the Big Red Machine took the title in 1976. This year's series was the culmination of a par that saw the Reds lead the National League 'est from wire to wire. They did it with a new imager, a revamped bullpen and the same lented players that had finished as the tdesmaid in the division for too many years. The Reds outscored the Athletics 22-8 in the ""games, earning each of the four victories, he lone was set when Eric Davis blasted a omer off of Dave Stewart in the series' first The Reds stunned the world with the 1517-0 victory.

ASU improved to 3-4 overall and 3-1 in the conference with the win, while the Catamounts fell to 3-5 overall and 2-2 in the league. The Moun­ taineers now share first place with the Furman Paladins and Tennessee-Chattanooga. The victory, ASU's sixth straight over Western Carolina, enables the Mountaineers to keep pros- session of the Old Mountain Jug for yet another year. "We're tickled that the jug is here," ASU Head Coach Jerry Moore said. "We're going to try to display it more." "It's great tokeep thejug uphereat Appalachian," ASU running back A1 Ellis said. Western Carolina opened the game by marching on a 12-play, 37 yard drive led by the running of tailback Carlton Terry. The drive stalled on the ASU 33-yard line and Jimmy Sziksai was called upon to attempt a 50-yard field goal. Sziksai's boot missed to the right, and ASU took over with 10:10 to play in the first quarter. On a critical third-and-seven from the ASU 49yard line, Mountaineer quarterback D.J. Campibell hit tight end Jeff Dudan for a 15-yard gain to keep the drive alive. Nine plays later Johnny Smith scored on a two-yard touchdown run. Jay Millson added the extra point to give ASU a 7-0 lead at the end of the first quarter. "That (the first drive) was important for D.J. Campbell," Moore said. "He had put a lot of pressure on himself. I think it gave him some confidence, and he was needing that." We drove down and did a good job offen­ sively, ' Campibell said of the opening drive. 'The big play was that we finally converted on a thirdand-long situation." The Catamounts got on the board early in the secondquarter thanks to their defense. As Campbell dropped back to pass on a third-and 11 from the ASU 10-yard line, he was tackled in the end zone by blitzing Western linebacker Johnny Ivey for a safety, cutting ASU's lead to 7-2. The Mountaineer defense forced two Western Carolina turnovers in the second quarter, but the App offense failed to convert the Catamount miscues into pxiints. Mountaineer linebacker Dwayne Pelham inter­ cepted a Lonnie Galloway p>ass and gave ASU the ball on the Western 41-yard line. The Mountain­ eers came away empty, however, as Millson mis­ fired on a 45-yard field goal attempt. On the Catamounts next possession, ASU line­ backer Donnie Durham pricked off a Mark Smith pass and gave the Apps control of the ball at midfield. The Mountaineers failed to capitalize as the Westen Carolina defense stopped ASU on three straight plays and forced the Apps to punt. "Our defense intercepted two passes and gave us great field position, but we were unable to move the ball," Moore said. "It sort of dampened my spirits." The Catamounts proceeded to take their only lead of the game on their next possession. On a second-and-seven from the Western 13-yard line. Galloway connected with split end Keith Austin on an 87-yard touchdown pass. Sziksai added the extra point to give the Catamounts a 9-7 lead. The ASU offense kicked it in gear on their next possession, however. The Apps marched on a 12play, 81-yard drivethat culminated when Campbell broke free from a defender's grasp and hit J.K. Reaves on a 19-yard touchdown pass. Millson booted the point after, and ASU took a 14-9 lead into the locker room at halftime. "As I dropped back to pass, my protection broke down," Campbell said.

The match marked the fifth time this season the Mountaineers have lost by one goal. The squad's three other defeats have been by just two goals. The game was marked by five yellow cards and two ejections. A yellow card is a warning by the referee for roughness or other flagrant pienalties. "It was a very spirited game to say the least," Coach Art Rex said. "It was a hard fought match between two rival teams."

Last Thursday night at Varsity Gym was a perfect example of the inconsistent play that has been the one, glaring problem for ASU all season long. The UNC Greensboro Lady Spartans came to Boone and gave the Lady Apps a hard lesson in the benefits of never giving up. ASU bolted out to a two-game lead before things came apart and UNCG took full advantage, escaping with the last three games to win the match 3-2. Led by senior Tammy Craig, Appalachian won the first game 15-10 and took a 12-3 advantage in the second game. From that point on the Lady Spartans dominated the action, controlled the momentum and allowed ASU to do very little offensively. ASU managed to win game two 15-10, but proceeded to drop the last three games 15-10, 1511 and 15-8. Aside from one 6-0 spurt in game four, the Lady Mountaineers never mounted much of a threat and were never able to get their offense rolling. The sudden and unexpected ASU demise left fans wondering what happened and made McGee very unhappy. "I think that after the first two games we went out there dead," McGee said after the match. "Greensboro isn't the type of team that is going to give up and fold. When they started hitting the ball well, we didn't respond. We didn't play together, our offense broke down, and there was a total lack of communication. Tammy Craig played well and Michelle Wright played well and that's about it." On Saturday McGee's squad faced the difficult challenge of rebounding after a tough loss against a quality conference opponent. Tennessee-Chat­ tanooga entered Varsity Gym with an eyeon beating ASU while they were down, and for a while it looked like that would indeed happen. The Lady Apps fell behind two games to one and appeared headed for their second straight loss. Thus time, however, it was ASU's turn to come back and win as they whipped UTC 15-9 and 154 in the final two games to win the match 3-2. McGee inserted some new players in the match, and the change paid off. Wright, a freshman from Mooresville, N.C., replaced Kim Nelson, who McGee explained was "having an off day." Freshman Carmen Smith was inserted at setter. McGee explained the move, saying, "I thought we had to change the lineup. UTC was a very strong defensive team. The key was to keep attacking them, keep hitting the ball at them and wear them down. I thought those players would help us do that." Wright ended up leading the team in hitting percentage with a .267 mark. Holly Shamburger finished with a .240 hitting percentage and Rachel Wade led the team defensively with 25 digs. "UTC is a hard team to play," McGee said. "They're not an attack team. They can throw you off tempo because they do a lot of tips and rolls. They can beat you without you even knowing what happened." the evening, which proved to be the game-winner .... ._ He (Burr) is extremely dangerous when he's around the goal," Rex said. "We had our chances and didn't finish them and we didn't get the breaks we needed to win. Furman took this match away from us." The loss drops ASU's record to 0-2-1 in the conference and 5-8-1 overall. This past weekend the Appalachian booters participated in the Davidson Invitational (look for details in Thursday's edition of "The Appalachian.") The Mountaineer squad returns to home action Wednesday as they host UNC-Greensboro at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Following the Greensboro match the team has two more regular season matches, a home contest with Virginia Military on Saturday, Oct. 27, and an away match with Virginia Tech on Oct. 30. The Apps will participate in the Southern Conference Tournament Nov. 1, 3 and 4.

D. program in the education depart­ ment Although this is an idea which has great potential of becoming Successful, some problems need to be considered before ASU can establish other doctoral programs. F Most people who enter Ph.D. programs have already entered their chosen profession and must return to school and maintain their position in the work place at the same time. Since they work, they must commute to school rather than live on campus. Boone is an isolated area in the mountains with few close ownsorcommunitiesfrom Which lownsorcommunitiestrom which tocommute.

The distant OR in IM„N TK„ Accessibility of the university might hurt the overall success of the program. Futhcr studies should be done to see if there are other universities with similar Problems. ^ ASU s library is inadequate for research. Any doctoral program that has • been or will be established here will need excellent library facilities to do the cscarch which will be required to obtain the degree. Appalachian needs to ipdate the library's resources before considering other doctoral programs. Without a decent library these programs could potentially have a high ropout and failure rate. Let someone else do the thinking Wouldn't it be nice if we could totally control the TERESA L. SMITH destination of our money? We could do things like Et Cetera Editor • pANALAIL : The Appalachian, Tuesday. October 23.1990 Although students, faculty and staff have the allocate the fees we pay at ASU to our own areas of interest. Better yet, we could tell the government how we wanted our tax money to be spent. It would be ideal to have this kind of control, but unfortunately that is not how the system works, nor do I believe it could work like this. I started thinking about where my tax dollars went when the controversy over Robert Mapplethorpe's photographs threatened the future of the National Endowment for the Arts. Our notorious Senator Helms announced that J* hard-working people of this nationdid not want to pay r °bscene works of art and pornography. I can agree with this to a certain extent, but I believe Senator Helms needs to realize that many of the nation's hard-working people don t want their tax dollars going towards military intervention in other countries. What it all boils down to is that every single human being who pays taxes in the U.S. has different likes and dislikes. If we could decide for ourselves where our tax money was going, we would have lop-sided federal pro­ grams that did some people a lotof good and a lot of people a little good. I will use the embattled NEA as a fine example of how a close-minded minority can take matters into their own hands and limit the freedom of a large majority by saying what is right and should be supported and what is wrong and should be banned by law. Campus departments need easier access to ASU telephone directories In order to have a successful program, ASU needs to have the materials onvcnicntly placed so students will have a chance to complete necessary ssignments without unnecessary hassles. Appalachian cannot expect students To the Editor: )work for doctoral degrees without providing them with the resources they eed. I want to commend the column "Box numbers lost in space" in your Oct. 11 issue, written by Hope Harvey. She is absolutely right, and she has done her homework on this: the post office should come around and permit the student directory to publish box numbers. Let me also point out that publishing box numbers in the student directory, as in days of old, would save many hours of departmental secretarial work. Harvey mentions receiving flyers informing her of club meetings: who does she think looked up all the box Appalachian also needs more master's programs. If the university would to to build on the variety of programs it has to offer then it needs to start from Aground up. If ASU provides good master's programs, then they will have stablishcd a solid background for students who wish to pursue doctoral fgrecs. For example, one of ASU's most popular majors, communications, ® no graduate level classes. This university needs to focus on more masters before establishing doctoral programs. "t® continuing education doctoral program which has recently been Wished at Appalachian is the beginning of what appears to be great PP°rtunities for students to obtain degrees. However, before Appalachian ®tinues to establish more doctoral degrees, they need to take all facts into pderation. lk^ We have a bunch of gray headed, bible thumping fundamentalists who have never been around the block more than once or twice trying to decide what the majority of us should look at. Granted, not all of those backing Helms' amendment are retired persons who have nothing better to do than screw up someone else's world. Many are the same age as you and I, and they were brought up by these people. Helms' amendment states that federal funding should be restricted for any art project deemed indecent, obscene or offensive to any "religion or non-religion." This j o * © * "*J amendment will only complicate matters more because WP. will havf* to have a committee and even more sub­ —L we will have In havp a ^Ammittna nnA committees to decide what is and is not acceptable. It sounds like a waste of more tax money to me. If anyone is going to "police" works of art, it should be the NEA leaders and executives themselves. Printed works of art are not the only art forms coming under fire. Performance artist Karen Finley uses an abundance of profanity in her solo shows. One of her more famous works is the one in which she smears yams around her buttocks. I'm sure this symbolizes something that is worthwhile and meaningful to her, just as when she spreads chocolate all over her body to depict how women are treated like dirt. These types of performances are just too deep for some people, so they would rather none of us see them. u " In a way,* our five senses Imake Cdkll UI us unique. ivi y wui ti»v jviix>9 lldAC each of Us UIUlJUc.

They have plenty of old money to back their positions, and they seem to have nothing better to do than to put their noses into the lives of people who they dislike, I am sure the majority of the works funded by the NEA are ones this vocal minority would enjoy. In 1989, the NEA gave The Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta $125,000 towards their $1 million budget.

To the Editor: //o FUNDS FOR THE NATIONALESKDOW/WOT ARTS FOR Y£S fZTDERAL SUBSTDV FOR DBACCO I believe that the issues in the upcoming senatorial election deserve serious attention by North Carolinians, especially those of us in the university community. If we take a close look at the world today, we find rapidly changing economic and political conditions that demand a flexible approach to problems, not a dogmatic one. This is certainly true in North Carolina. It is clear from recent news reports that two main industries in North Carolina, textiles and tobacco, are in decline. This decline is inevitable and beyond governmental control due to increasing automation in the textile industry and decreasing popularity of smoking in the United States.

For me it isn't that big of a question, because I feel that it is simply wrong. For those people out there who support the SAC, I have but one question: who is this facility going to benefit? The claim is that the entire Boone community will benefit from this facility. I am a member of the commu­ nity, and I don't see how this is going to benefit my classmates and my peer group.

Can we, as a community, allow this sort of atrocity? This is our 'miversity. This is our community. If we don't want this facility we don't have to get it or pay for it. However, if this facility is built and it turns out to be a lemon, who will pay then? Is it right for us to pass along this type of burden to others when we leave here? Hopefully, this has at least made you think. You, as an individual, need to decide where you stand on this issue. If you want the SAC then push for it.

Conflicting views of the Quinn Center bothers one reader who fires back To the Editor It seems funny that on the same page of "The Appalachian" (18 Oct page 5 Et Cetera), we have two conflicting views of the Quinn Center. Michael Gira, a freshman, whines about how out of shape he is and how difficult it is for him to get to the Quinn Center.

The Harlem School for the Arts holds a $50,000NEA grant for special voice classes for minorities wishing to pursue opera. How can anyone be op­ posed to funding for these great causes when the nation's military bands have a yearly budget of $193 million? The total budget for the NEA in 1989 was $171 million. When you break that down, what the tax payer is actually put­ ting into these fine programs averages out to about 69 cents a year. I dare say more than that goes to weapons contrac­ tors and to junkets to the four comers of the world. Over the last 25 years the NEA has handed out more than 85,000 awards.

We, the poor majority, must stand up to these fanatics and make sure the NEA keeps getting the federal funds necessary to keep the arts alive and kicking. On a happier note, I must tell you that Barrie was found not guilty. In another recent obscenity trial, 2 Live Crew was found not guilty. Three members of the group were arrested after their perfor­ mance in a Hollywood, Florida night club in which they simulated sex on stage.

He said the roads were bui.y, but the number of acci­ dents were a "comparably low" number. He also said, "Traffic in Boone and in the county will be hectic, but if people drive well, we'll beOK." He said he urges everyone driving to be patient as well as careful. This will help everyone out. Blue Ridge Parkway officials are concerned with the possibilities of this coming weekend. Not only will there be a largenumber of vehicles on the park way, but the government may cause some problems too. If the National budget is not worked out by midnight Friday, all parkway facilities will be closed for the weekend. This shutdown would include all picnic areas, parks such as Price Park, and visitor centers. The only attraction in the area which would not be closed is the Cone Manor because it is run by another orga­ nization. Ron Herren of the Parkway office said the possible shutdown would be a "major aggravation." It is possible the officials will not know if the shutdown will go through until midnight Friday. This would add to the inconvenience already caused by the detour around the bridge at Price Lake. "We are expecting lots (of traffic) be­ cause of the weather last week," Henen said. He is very concerned with how the shutdown will effect the busy weekend. The Boone Chamber of Commerce expects this weekend to be the heaviest traffic for business.

Libraries need money By CHERYL JOHNSTON voto President Sue Willmoth said, "This week­ end will be one of the biggest, if not the biggest." Appalachian Photo by Trey Horach SO THAT'S WHAT OUR HOMECOMING COURT LOOKS LIKE: ASU students voted on the 1990 Homecoming court last week. This year's queen will be crowned by Keven Parker, now a senior, who was voted as last year's queen. North Carolina's recent budget cuts are not only affecting schools and universities, but also students and faculty. On October 2, N.C. State University students held a sit-in at the D.H. Hill Library on campus protesting the recent and state budget cuts. Approximately 600 students, faculty and staff attended the sit-in. The protest was first started by apetition brought up by Cristina Lamson, a sophomore at the university. Chancellor Larry Monteith, who attended the sit-in, said, "I came here to be a part of everything. My wife and I are going up into the stacks to see if there is anything enjoyable to read for the next few hours." NCSU Student Body President Ed Stack said, "Anytime you've got this many students and members of the administration, it's good." The 3 percent budget cut handed to Hill Library has caused library officials tomake some changes. Because of the rising cost of periodicals and the budget cut, D.H. Hill will eliminate 2,200 periodicals by the end of October. N.C. State's student newspaper, 'Technician," also said that the library would no longer receive duplicates of all of the most-read periodicals. Duplicates cut include "Time," "Newsweek" and Raleigh's daily newspaper, "The News and Observer." Periodicals that 'Technician" reported are most likely to be cancelled are the American Journal of Medical Genetics, which costs NCSU $1,082 annually.Cell and Tissue Research, of which a subscription costs $2,113 a year and a duplicate of Biochemistry from the American Chemical Society. That journal costs $690 per year. D.H. Hill Library's present financial woes have not been ignored by the NCSU student body. The main editorial in the Sept. 28 edition of 'Technician" called for students to send in money to a special library endowment fund which was created by the newspaper staff. "The students of (NCSU's) campus can demonstrate to state legislators in a dramatic and lasting way our determination to see our library reestablished...Look, a dollar isn't much—less than one penny a day. Skip buying two sodas between classes and you've got your donation. Pass up one beer during your next visit to your favorite bar and send the money to help the endowment fund," the editorial stated. Before this same situation could occur here at ASU, some students are mapping out the future of Belk Library. The Senior Committee is considering the possibility of a library endowment as one of the senior gift choices. "This endowment money would go towards books and other related library materials," said Bart Brown, the vice president of the Senior Committee The main concern of this endowment is getting the seniors to pledge money to something that is not tangible after they leave the institution. "We don't know how much involvement we could get from the senior class as a whole because we won't be around to enjoy the books," Brown said. Vice-Chancellor for Development and Public Affairs Dr. James L.Strom first gave the idea to the Senior Committee when they were looking for ideas as a senior gift for the university. Brian Hendren, a senior here at ASU said, "I will pledge money to the endowment because the library needs more group study rooms and hopefully my pledge will help. Maybe I won't benefit from my pledge, but I know others will." Brown said,"Though the library endowment is apossibility we're still weighing our other options." These other options for the senior gift will be cutdown to five by theend of October, and a final decision will be reached by the Thanksgiving holiday. If the library endowment is not the gift chosen by the Senior Committee there is another option to help fight against the budget cuts. Brown said the Senior Committee would try and hold a fundraiser to help raise money for the library. But would have to wait and see what the final decision would be on the senior gift. He said that the library might receive some money even if it didn't come from the class gift. Senate passes limit on activities center support By SHAWN O'NEAL Appalachian News Editor The proposed Seby Jones Student Ac­ tivities Center was once again the center of discussion before theSG A Senatewhen it met Tuesday night. The body approved without objection a resolulion c al1ing for the university's Bo ard of Trustees and the state government to not increase student fees "to cover the difference between the promised appro­ priation and the actual appropriation"due to expected rises in costs of construction and the current state budget shortfall. The resolution, co-sponsored by SGA Vice President Daryl Ghent and Director of State Affairs Randy Hill, was meant to be a"safeguard' in the words of Ghent, to protect ASU students from having to pay more in student fees for the SAC than the already agreed upon $14.25 million. Ghent cited the proposed $23 fee in­ crease for the center alone for next year, which is part of a to­ tal fee increase pack­ age of $270 for oncampus students and $170 for those living off-campus. This package will be voted on by the university's Board of Trustees in December. "We want student fees to be kept as low as possible,"Hill said. According to its sponsors, the resolu­ tion was also introduced due to the pos- sible failure of the state to be able to comply with its own schedule of appro­ priations. u They say a lot of things, hut they don't exactly follow through on a lot of things. -Daryl Ghent J 99 North Carolina House Appropria­ tions Committee Chairman David Diamont (D— Surry Co.) said in an ear­ lier report in "The Appalachian" that the remaining $7.75 million the state has yet. t0 give t0 f *e university for the SAC may be frozen if the money has to be used instead to solve the statewide deficit crisis. At last report the deficit was $334 million. Hill said he talked to Diamont last week about the possibility of the $7.75 million being frozen. Though the legislator could neither confirm nor deny whether SAC money would be frozen, Diamont did tell Hill he thought such aresolution as the one passed was a "good idea." Diamont cited that it reaffirmed state support for the project, and the money the university ex­ pects shall be received. Hill said the difference in payment of costs between most ASU buildings and the proposed arena is that most buildings on campus (i.e. residence halls and class­ room buildings) are "self-liquidating" and thereby paid in full by the university. The Jones Center would be one of the few buildings students would have to pay for directly. According to Hill, students do not want to pay lots of money for a build­ ing they may rarely, if ever, use. (The center is expected to open in 1995.) "We're worried that student fees would go up to cover (SAC costs)," Hill told the senators. Ghent said: "We want to stand fast on our promise to the students of Appala­ chian that we would only raise student fees by (a total of) $14.25 million. What we're scared of is somehow the money for the student activities center would get frozen and we're not going to get the money for the center on time." Ghent also criticized the General As­ sembly. "They say a lot of things, but they don't exactly follow through on a lot of things," Ghent said. The vice president also said the resolu­ tion was "in no way, shape or form" an attempt to stir up the groups who are against the proposed center. �The Appalachian, Homecomin?

According to Shore, "Last winter was not as bad as people think, December was wonderful." The warm snap at the begin­ ning and end of winter is what hurt the slopes. According to Moretz, Appalachian ex­ perienced a 10 percent decrease during each of the past two winters. Ski Hawksnest is experiencing prob­ lems unrelated to the weather. "We are having problems acquiring permits due to our sewer system," John Rendals, presi­ dent of Ski Hawksnest, said. He said, however. Ski Hawksnest will open on time for the season. As ski season approaches, many will keep their fingers crossed and their hopes optimistic for snow this year. Paul Lehmann, president of ASU Ski Club, said "It can't get any worse than last year, but just in case the ski team will be doing a 'snow dance.'"

Douglas Wilder imposed to plug a $1.4 billion hole in the two-year budget cycle that began July 1. Most campuses, abruptly without money they needed to operate, won Wilder's permission to require students to pay extra tuition surcharges. At George Mason University, for in­ stance, spring tuition will increase $62for in-state students and $186 for those from out-of-state. Statewide, hundreds of teaching vacan­ cies remain unfilled, and many faculty members who had part-time or annual contracts were laid off. Students aren't happy. More than5,000 turned out Sept. 11 to protest budget cuts, which have caused class sizes to increase 10 percent and led to the loss of 273 faculty and staff members. Similarly, 250 VirginiaCommonwealth University students marched in protest to the Capitol in Richmond. Virginia's the only state so far to an­ nounce midyear tuition hikes, Novak said. Many other states, though, including Nebraska, Maryland, California, Arizona, New York, Washington, Florida, Geor­ gia, Mississippi, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Rhode Island and New Jersey have or soon will cut the amount of money they give to public campuses. "It looks very negative," said Illinois State University Prof. Ed Hines, who monitors state higher education funding across the country. A number of states, he said, are report­ ing an absolute decline in absolute dollars they collect That's because legislatures, hurt by slowing sales tax revenues, lower-thanexpected income tax receipts and slow economic growth, don't have as much money to allocate as they expected. The Persian Gul f crisis has added to the uncertainty. By forcing crude oil prices up, it has dramatically raised costs at campuses - especially in the East - where oil is used both as transportation fuel and heating fuel. George Mason's oil bill, for instance, already is about $300,000 over budget, GMU officials report. The last time the country was in a re­ cession, in the late '70s and early '80s, colleges resorted to double-digit tuition hikes, postponed faculty salary raises and deferred building repairs. "It seems more severe this time, at least on the East Coast," Novak said. "The states were growing so rapidly. This crash is going to hurt more because it's a deeper fall."

The at-risk youths are directed to the center through school counselors and also by the juvenile courts. The youth resource center offers different activities including tutoring and providing various 4-H programs. One of the major programs of the Network is the Big Brother/Big Sisterprogram. The youth benefit from the interaction by having someone who can guide them and help them with conflicts or prob­ lems. Basically, what they need is a friend. The Network interviews those interested to find out if the person will have a beneficial influence on the youth.The Network then familiarizes the appli­ cant with the general requirements and matches them with a youth with whom they are compatible. Volunteer Tracy Willard said the process of matching an applicant with a child is a long one. Willard, asenior at ASU, first heard of the Watauga Youth Network two years ago in her Marriage and Family class. The class discussed abuse and family problems, and the professor gave the stu­ dents the number for the organization. It was a long time later, however, before Willard actually became a volunteer. The matching process is partly designed to "weed out" applicants Willard explained. "They try to find a per­ fect match instead of throwing people to­ gether." Willard was finally placed with a 14-year-old in November of last year. Next month their place­ ment is completed, but Willard hopes to be reas­ signed to the same child. When asked if she will . continue to take part in the Watauga Youth Network, Willard said that though she is a senior, she intends to go to graduate school and will help the Net­ work for "at least a few more years." After they are matched, the Big Brother/Big Sister will spend a minimum of four hours a week with the youth for one year. One of the major upcoming projects the Network is facing is the renovation of a building donated to them. The Network is hoping to expand into the larger facility I have always wanted to be a Big Sister to someone because I have two brothers, but no sister.

The Network is working on therenovations through various grants which have been given toward the new center. On Nov. 9, the Network will be providing a dance for the local seventh-.eight- and ninth- grad­ ers in the Student Union Pub. The dance is spon­ sored by the ASU honor society, Gamma Beta Phi. The network encourages interested campus clubs to help by taking part in activities for the youth at the center. Applications are always welcome. Students can apply at the Watauga Youth Network of become involved through a campus organization, ACT. ACT will train individuals before sending them to work at the Network. The ACT office is located on the first floor of the Student Union in Room 113. Male applicants are especially needed as there is a larger demand for Big Brothers at the Network.

Parade is scheduled for Friday By AMANDA NELSON Appalachian Staff Writer With all of the Homecoming preparation going on this week, it is easy for someactivities to get lost in the shuffle. It won't, however, be possible for the annual Homecoming parade to be forgotten. Hfie parade, which will begin at 4 p.m. on Oct. 19, is pretty hard to miss. The floats, cars and ASU band will be making their way through Boone streets on Friday afternoon. Janet Avant, SGA director of public affairs, began preparing for theparade thissummer. Avant commented, 'The purpose of the parade is to get spirit going for the community and students." Ever since Avant can remember, the traditional parade has done just that. Keven Parker, 1989 Homecoming queen, de­ scribes Homecoming: "It's full of excitement. It makes you feel special for being astudent at ASU." She continued, "The parade is also very special to me because of all of the people in the community and the students. It provides an opportunity to see a lot of friends in other organizations and to have a good time." Apptltchlri Photo by Trey Horeck HOMECOMING PARADE: The annual Homecoming Parade will begin tomorrow afternoon at 4. The parade begins at the stadium and travels down Stadium Drive, Rivers Street, Depot Street, and King Street. It is the final competition in the struggle for the Chancellor's Cup, given by RSA. In last year's parade Gardner Hall was only one of many residence halls to enter a decorated car or truck in the judging competition.

Also, the parade has more floats and a longer route than in years past. Each dorm, organization and greek society is invited to sponsor a float or decorated car or truck. There will also be convertibles carrying the 10 Homecoming court finalists. These finalists are selected in a student-wide vote held in the student union. Pictures of each nomineewere available for viewing. The court consists of Caroline Crawford (Alpha Delta Pi and Lambda Chi Alpha), Leslie Chandler (Kappa Delta), Cassundra Vannoy (Bowie Hall), Felicia Waugh (BSA), Michele Ribeiro (White Hall), Wyndy Hull (Sigma Nu), Ashlie Teague (Gamma Beta Phi), Shelby Johnson (Watauga Assembly), Heather Young (Chi Omega) and Holly Fairchild (Delta Zeta). They will all be represent­ ing ASU in the parade. "There is more community involvement this year than in years past," staled SGA Vice President Daryl Ghent. A new ASU organization, the Spirit Committee, has helped spark community interest by decorating uptown Boone with Homecoming banners. Some local businesses are participating in a window decoration contest. The Homecoming queen and the winning Homecoming float will be announced at the halftime ceremony of the Appalachian vs. Western Carolina football game. At halftime, the prestigious Chancellor's Cup will be given to the dorm that is the best overall participant in different Homecoming competitions. Parker summed it up, "Homecoming should be a time to focus on the university and the alumni. It is special because the alumni come back to share in the enthusiasm of Appalachian. It is a time to celebrate what ASU is to each individual person." Editor's Note: For more information o coming activities see the photo page �• 1he Appalachian, Homecoming Editing. Thurrfpv.

Homecoming is a time to let ASU team spirit shine. The Chancellor's Cup gives an outlet for that spirit. According to Jennifer Shiflet, CRSA president, the Chancellor's Cupgets all the students in a building working together and lets them have fun during Homecoming. Now, only one question remains. Who will win the Chancellor's Cup this year? Will it be Winkler, last year's Cup win­ ner? Or will it be Doughton, who won in both 1988 and 1987? Or'will another residence hall climb into the limelight and claim the cup as its own? Who knows? For now it rests in the hands of the students. What is known is that ASU team spirit will shine in every residence hall. Good luck to all. Cpnt °^ nterf 0[ C it will kill you.

Other hits include ou Got Me Dangling On A String," |verythingsTuesday,""CarolinaGirls," P aid the Piper" and their most requested I icerl song, "Patches." Johnson won a I anuny for writing this song, which was ginally recorded by Clarence Carter. Johnson began his music career at age , singing in the church choir with his I father who was a professional musician. By age 12, he had formed a group called the Humdingers, made up of several neighborhood buddies. The group re­ corded with Atlantic Records for a short time, and by Johnson's senior year in high school the Humdingers switched to Minit Records and became the Showmen. They enjoyed five hit singles including "It Will Stand, and "39-21-46." After about eight years the Showmen broke up, but have since gotten back together. Today, the Showmen minus Johnson perform beach music across the US. Knox and Johnson met while playing together in another short-lived band.They decided to form a new band and hired Woods and some other back up players. Woods soon became part of the core group and Chairman of the Board was bom. After recording with Invictus for several years Johnson started his own label called Surfside because he was tired of being controlled. General Johnson once described Chairman's show asnot a show but a good time happening. Ninety percent of the songs they perform are happy beach origi­ nals fused with energy. "Our songs are about makingpeople happy,"Johnson once said. Tickets for the performance at 8:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 19, are $5 in advance with student I.D. and $7 at the door.

The competition also serves to educate the public and to inspire fellow artists. So you see, the sculptures are more than a convenient bike rack or practice goal. Good sculptures such as these act as a mirror which reflects a part of ourselves and our place in society. They are the silent storytellers that challenge us to take a look at the world and find meaning in it; to understand it. This opportunity was created by a pro­ posal from the Department of Special A TV.' *_ / \CC' T. i i r • • Projects Office. It was brought to fmition by the generous funding of Doris and Martin Rosen. For the first two years of competition, the program was advertised in national publications inviting sculptors to submit slides of their works. Entrance requirements for works stated they must be durable and able to withstand rigid weather condition, safe to the viewing public, and mounted on a cement base. For the past two years artists have been invited to participate by the director of Catherine Smith Gallery. The director of the Catherine Smith Gallery narrows the competition to 10 pera entails love and revenge Special to The Appalachian Gaetano Donizetti's "Lucia di •ammermoor" will be presented in Far­ ting Auditorium Thursday, Oct. 25, by tc Western Opera Theater. One of the classics of operatic reper>ire, "Lucia di Lammermoor" tells the owerful story of feuding noble families ®nd the love tragically thwarted by their fcatred. Enrico wrongfully holds theestates If Edgardo, between whose family and bis own there has long been a deadly feud. Political activity against the king has weed Enrico in a perilous situation. He |L. has resolved to re-establish his family's position by marrying his sister Lucia to Arturo. However, Lucia is secretly in love with Edgardo. Based on Sir Walter Scott's 19th cen­ tury novel, "The Bride of the Lammermoor," Donizetti's great bel canto opera, which was first performed in 1835, weaves soaring melodies into a spellbinding web of secret love, murder and madness. The roles of Lucia and her lover Edgardo arc among the most chal­ lenging in the operatic repertoire, en­ compassing virtuosic displays of vocal embellishment. Photo Courtesy of The lead role of Lucia will be sung by Man-Hua Goa, one of the few Oriental sopranos in the country. "The San Mateo Times" reviewed her work this way: "Slender and graceful, Man-Hua Gao easily negotiated the coloratura demands of the role, one of the most difficult in opera, Besides technical prowess, though, she has arich, mature vocal quality with excellent control and stamina. She handled the famous mad scene in Act II with consum­ mate artistry, seemingly undaunted by its vocal and dramatic demands." The role of Lucia has been sung by some of the legends of the opera world, including Lily Pons, Maria Callas and Joan Sutherland, and this tradition is carried on beautifully by ManHua Gao. The bel canto opera is one of the most difficult types to master. The term gener­ ally refers toItalian operas of the mid-19th century Operas that placed unusually strenuous demands upon singers by call­ ing for longer melodic lines, elaborate coloratura and wonderfully melodramatic plots. The opera is directed by renowned American stage director Takazauckas, whose previous Western Opera Theater productions include "Don Giovanni" and "Madame Butterfly." After over 70 pro­ fessional productions, he is now resident director of San Francisco's American Conservatory Theatre. Western OperaTheater is a professional touring company dedicated to bringing high quality productions of live opera to communities where opera might other­ wise not be seen or heard. They've played to sophisticated opera goers in New York City, and to school children on remote Indian reservations in New Mexico. They've brought operatic favorites across the length and breadth of the continental United States. With emphasis on the highest musical and theatrical standards. Western Opera Theater hasgiven over1,500performances of 36 operas for over 2 million people across the United States during its 24-year history. In 1987, the company became the first American professional opera com­ pany ever to perform in the People's Re­ public of China. The company will make its first tour of Japan in 1991.

"Solos and Duets" will be a joint ven­ ture between the Department of Theatre and Dance and the local dance company, Danceworks Theatre. The first perfor­ mance Friday, Oct. 19 will be held in the Chapel Wilson Theatre, while Saturday's performance can be seen at the Blowing Rock Arts Center. ASU faculty members Marianne Adams and Susan Lutz have coordinated an evening that promises to be both enter­ taining and educational. Assisting them will be Phillippa Clarke, choreographer and Elon College instructor; and James Bell, an untrained dancer from Greensboro. "We are attempting to provide an exciting, innovative dance experience for those in the community who may believe modern dance to be inaccessible or even esoteric," Adams said. "We have set high goals for ourselves. We want to build a strong appreciation and understanding of dance in the High Country." "Solos and Duets" will be an intimate modern dance experience containing two solo pieces and three ducts. "All of us approach dance and choreography in di­ verse andchallenging ways,"said Adams, who likes to use a variety of mediums— words, props, music and improvisation— while creating. Lutz's work, however, is more tightly choreographed and traditional. The duet created by the two grew from these con­ trasting approaches. "Dialogue of Differences" is about two artists stretching each others talents and point-of-view. "It is really about the beginning of any relationship," Adams said. "No two people are exactly alike. The challenge is to understand and ap­ preciate those differences." Adams' solo,"Running OutofBreath," uses no music which is bound to invite the audience to review many of their preconceptions. "In this piece human sound becomes the music," Adams said. Using the written word in dance enhances the movement and thecreative expression. In this solo Adams will be using a text written by choreographer Tom Johnson. I Phillippa Clarke is a close friend of Adams though they now live hours apart. Their duet, "Her Sunrise; My Sunset," *i reflects this distance though it originally /J grew out of both women's frustrated ef- £ forts to maintain relationships with sisters who live half a world away. "My sister 3 lives in San Francisco and Phillippa's sister > wakes up every morning in Australia," ;• Adams said. "Her sunrise is literally our '» sunset." Choreographed to the music of *J Philip Glass, "Her Sunrise; My Sunset" I promises to be just one of the highlights of ;« the dance performance. "Solos and Duets" promises to offer an evening of highlights as Adams and Lutz's energy and enthusiam is contagious and invigorating. "We want toencourage those who have never attended a modern dance performance to see what it's all about," Adams said. Together they hope to redefine audience expectations and stereotypes "Dance is for everyone. It can and should be enjoyed by all."

Western Carolina enters Boone on a two-game losing streak of its own. The Catamounts lost at home toThe Citadel on Oct. 6 and were pummeled by the Duke Blue Devils 49-18 last Saturday. "We've got a monumental task this week in trying to regroup and pull our young talent together," Hodgin said. "This was a great rivalry long before these players were born," Moore said. "When these teams get together, you can discount the records." "The Western Carolina-Appalachian State rivalry is a great one," Hodgin said. "There is something special about the games."

Lady Apps top Furman The Lady Mountaineer women's soc­ cer tqam defeated Furman University 2-0 on Sunday, Sept. 30 at Kidd-Brewer Sta­ dium. The win left the Lady Apps as the only Southern Women's Soccer Asso­ ciation team with an unblemished league record at 3-0. The lone first-half goal was scored by Natalie Troutman on a rebounded shot. The first half was played mainly in the Lady Paladins' half of the field, and ASU had numerous opportunities to score but failed to cash in. Lady App Coach Bod Goddard said that the offense has not caught up with the defease yet this season. "This team has the most talent of any in our five years of play," Goddard said."I really thought that we would score more goals than we have. The girls may be too unselfish: maybe they need to be more greedy on offense." Club football squad defeats UNC The club football team traveled to Chapel Hill and defeated the UNC club football team 21-6. ASU opened the scoring in the first quarter when quarterback P.J. Souza ran in for a touchdown. Galin Hcnson added two points on the conversion to give the App squad an 8-0 lead. ASU scored again when defensive end Mike Greer recovered a UNC fumble in the endzonc. The two-point conversion failed, leaving the score at 14-0. In the fourth quarter the Mountaineers scored for the final time on a 42-yard pass from quarterback Andy DeVault to wide receiver Donnell Williams. Place kicker Andy McDaniel added the extra point to give ASU a 21-0 advantage. The secondhalf was very evenly played, with the Lady Paladins mounting more scoring threats than in the first half. The Lady Mountaineer defense rose to the occasion each time, however, turning away shots on goal. The final goal was notched by senior co-captain Shelley Oberle on a 25-yard direct kick in the 81st minute.

October 18. 1990 12 •>M,, I iafixperienced Mountaineer basketball squads begin practice By JOHN THOMPSON, JR. Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian Mie pnoto "BLEND YOUTH AND EXPERIENCE": KarenGruca( 12) represents ne of the experience that will mesh with the youthfulness of this year's ASU OMEN ASU is preparing for the upcoming basketball season, with both the men's and women's teams starting practice this past Monday. The men's team, headed by coach Tom Apke, returns threestarters from last year's 19-11 team. Senior guard Rodney Peel started last year at shooting guard, where he led the team in steals (75), minutes played (31.3 agame) and three-point goals made (56) while averaging 11 points per contest. Peel will most likely move over to point guard to replace the loss of Kemp Philips. Junior forward Broderick Parker re­ turns after being the Mountaineers'second leading scorer last season at 12.6 points per game. He led the Southern Confer­ ence w ith a 60 percent field goal percentage and started all 30 games for the Apps. The remaining starter left from last year's squad is junior forward Steve Spurlock. Spurlock scored 12 points a game last season and was second on the team with 5.6 rebounds per game. He also shot at a 55 percent clip and blocked 27 shots. The main questions raised about this year's team concern the replacement of the two lost starters. Center Sam Gibson (15 points, seven rebounds a game) is gone, as is Phillips (11 points a game, 153 assists). Junior center Tim Powers is ex­ pected to replace Gibson in the middle. Powers averaged 12 minutes a game last year. With Peel moving topoint guard, senior EdWard andsophomore Billy Ross should split time at the off-guard position. Ward is a strong and athletic and is a good defensive player. Ross is a sweet-shoot­ ing sophomore who hit 20 three pointers last season. Apke islooking forward to this seaosn. "We are very excited,"he said. "We have three returning starters, and some new­ comers with an awful lot of potential." As far as the Southern Conference is concerned, the team to beat is East Ten­ nessee State. After winning 27 games last season and advancing to the NCAA Tournament, the Bucs are in great shape, having lost only one player. The women's team, coached by Linda Robinson, is coming off a 20-9 season. They won the Southern Conference tour­ ney, which catapulted them into the NCAA tourney. This year's young team will have trouble repeating that, consid­ ering they play a tough schedule. Furman and the University of Tennessee at Chat­ tanooga should give the Apps a run for the conference title. "I think it (winning 20 games) would be tough, but fairly realistic with this team," Robinson said. "We have a good blend of youth and experience." The experience comes from junior Shannon Thomas, senior Karen Gruca, and junior Mitzi Yount.Thomas, the MVP of last year's SC tourney, is a powerful forward with a great defensive game. Gruca is a mature point guard with good shooting range, and Yount is a hard­ working foward with a soft-shooting touch. Yount is coming off reconstruc­ tive knee surgery, but is recovering "mi­ raculously" according to Robinson. Regina Ickard and Necman Konrad should see plenty of playing time after learning the system asfreshmen lastyear. Also, with five freshmen coming in, this year's team should be deep. •vpmmcnmn rntxo By Ir*y none* MEN RETURN THREE ST ARTERS: Steve Spurlock, one of three starters return­ ing to this year's ASU men's basketball squad, slams in practice.

Homecoming Edition. Thursday .October 18. 1990 / Students demand solutions now 0 Flaherty seems to believe that if a woman becomes pregnant by consenting to sex, (and lets not quibble about birth control, all methods have a significant failure rate) she thereby loses the right to decide the physical dispos ition of her body. 1 know, having two children of my own, that carrying and bearing a child can be a source of boundless joy (and over­ whelming responsibility). But it is well worth the physical pain and trauma, if a woman is willing. If she is not willing, it is a form of slavery and violence against her human spirit.

He makes the point that many people consider abortion a morally defensible alternative in certain cases involving Jiiitj special hardship such as rape, incest or so*, health impairment to mother or child. Jili This, he seems to imply, represents sai( pro-choice.

Most people I know understand that left. abortion is a physically and emotionally painful experience, but that sometimes abortion is the lesser of two tragedies, and veip the only person truly qualified to make the decision is the person who must bear the SU, physical and emotional consequences of ibevr that decision. One might argue that the child must gil also bear the consequences of abortion. However, not since the emancipation proclamation has anyone had the legal or 1 cthicalright to live at the physical expense of another human being. There are no laws mandating forced blood or organ donations even though many lives are lost due to a lack of donors. " I feel like a mushroom... The administration keeps me in the DARK AND FEEDS ME BULLS ! Why don't they tell us the truth about the SAC? So reads the slogan on the new tshirts printed by People for Academics and a Sustainable Environment. I feel the people deserve the answers, the truth, from the administration to questions like these... Why is there such a lack of knowl­ edge among students and the commu­ nity about the SAC? Might it be the university suppressing information, so it can implement the controversial building of the SAC without allowing the public to make their stand? Why has the university not publicly announced the plans for the SAC failed the Environmental Impact Statement? Why has it been so difficult for members of PASE, investigating the SAC, to get consistent information on building plans, rising student fees and environmental audits? Could it be we are getting the "runaround" by the Thomas Adminis­ tration? Another question arises after seeing the results of polls given to students and faculty about the SAC. Both showed a majority against the development of the SAC, yet it appears the Thomas Administration is ignoring the very people whom they are supposed to be serving. Why is the very essence (student and faculty) of our university over-looked during important decision making? Could it be that the administration has bowed down to the trustees and alumni for so long that it cannot see the students' best interests? Might this seem inappropriate due to the fact that it is the students who are footing a large portion of the bill? The lack of answers to these questions infuriates me and makes me feel the Thomas Administration does not hold its students and faculty in high regard and should no longer be trusted in making our university's important decisions. Will Hubbard ASU Box 12207 Andy Lester ASU Box 08959 Business students need the post office to keep journals during breaks To the Editor: I agree with your article "Box numbers lost in space" on Oct. 11, 1990. However, there is another problem with the post office of which you may be unaware. For most business majors, the "Wall Street Journal" is required reading. Some of our professors give tests on the material in the "Journal." In other classes, we discuss the "Journal" articles, or use the information in papers and reports. The problem is that during all college holidays, the post office staff throw away all the "Journals." This is valuable and expensive material paid for by the students. It causes inconve­ nience to the professors as well because, sometimes, important news breaks during the time. I realize that the boxes are too small to hold more than one or two "Journals" at a time, but, perhaps, the post office staff could put all the papers in a box for the students to claim when they return.

It is time for students, staff id faculty to recognize what isunfair and ,just on this campus and fix the problem. time and, therefore, cost the university even more money to process these unjust citations! We each have the right to a hearing. All we have to do is request one. You might catch the committee in a good mood and get out of paying the fine! It takes very little of our time and money to do so, yet it takes a great deal of the university's time and money to deal with it. This would be a simple way of telling the university we are not going to put up with this crap. I know what you're thinking—the uni­ versity would simply raise the fines and the cost of parking permits to adjust to the new expense. Get real. They're going to raise them anyway. Besides, it is impor­ tant that we don't sit on our lazy buttocks and tolerate what we clearly regard as cheating. Let's make the university pay for a problem which it has created and is pretending to attempt to remedy. I don't have the answer to this problem, but I do have an idea which may acceler­ ate its resolution. Are you aware that each and every parking ticket you receive may be appealed before a grievance commit­ tee? This committee consists of five stu­ dents, five university staff, and five fac­ ulty. Each appeal is heard by one student, one staff, and one faculty. Considering the cost of the paperwork and the salaries of the staff and faculty involved, it must cost the university more than thefine on the average ticket to process a ticket and hear its appeal. What would happen if each student, staff, and faculty receiving a ticket were to take a few minutes to go to the Security Office, fill out an application for a griev­ ance hearing, and attend that hearing? Faculty and staff could do this on salaried We realize that campus parking space limited (although there appears to be lenty of space for certain kinds of con­ viction projects!). It may be that various Hnmittees are brainstorming over the tuation.
